I can't believe this is a known issue. I've never heard of it. If I do a factory reset will it work again? Not that I want to do that, but I need those notes!!!!
Sorry this didnt help. I agree the issue is not good as S Notes is a "key feature" within the overall Note 2 package. As for a factory reset, I quite honestly don't know if that will help. Back up everything you care about before a factory reset. If you're using don't restore any of your apps/system data via Titanium Backup as that may reintroduce the problem if somehow a prior restored S Notes version had issues.
Probably remote chance, but I wonder if the stock rooted ROM image you flashed may have had an issue that is enabling or triggering the S Notes crashes. Given bclinger#IM's response it appears that this is a known issue, so the ROM angle could be a red herring.
I use my S Pen and S Notes less than I thought I would, so likely haven't used it enough to run into the problem yet.
