[APP] Clipboard + Notes 6.1.3 [08/12/15]

[APP] Clipboard + Notes 6.3.1 [04/05/2016]
Clipboard + Notes is a simple clipboard manager which watches your clipboard for any changes and saves its contents for later use. Contents can be starred and labelled, as well as added manually, which makes the app a handy tool for note taking.
The contents from the clipboard history can be copied into the clipboard again, they can be edited, deleted, searched, and shared too. When sharing links they can be optionally shortened if URLy is installed. Any links in the contents will be quickly picked up and extra options will be available to open or share them directly from the device. HTTP and Market links are amongst the supported types.
Clipboard + Notes can be easily turned off from the settings if it is no longer needed, and its operation can be customised to match the user's needs. The clipboard collection is intelligently stopped when the device isn't being used any more, which makes it very battery-friendly.
In addition it integrates with the Android Quick Search Bar so you can directly search your clipboard history. It further integrates with Google's cloud backup and restore, so any time you wipe your device your contents and settings will be restored the next time you install the application (only works on Android 2.3+ and backup/restore must be enabled in the 'Privacy' settings for your device).
A little extra hand is at help too in case you would like to share to clipboard. The app supports this functionality as well, so just pick something to share, and select Clipboard + Notes from the window. The item you just shard will now have been copied into the clipboard.

OK, will do it sometime during the week. I already have the two other features done, just testing them on my own device.
Thanks for the support

Version 1.2 is out, changes include:
Clipboard history will be saved across reboots and service shutdowns
Edit clipboard contents
Added date to older contents
Added fallback click option
Numerous bug fixes
Enjoy
P.S. Would it be helpful if the text which is currently in the clipboard was highlighted, for example the font was bold or text bigger? It is always at the top in the list, but not sure if that makes sense/occurs to everyone.

Hy I like your Tool. I look long time ago to find something like this.
There is one problem I recognized, sometimes when I press Copy Link it happen nothing in Clipboard Contents. Then I switch off & on the service and my Link is displaying in the History !

Hi, glad you like it
So let me understand this correctly. You have some items in the list, you long-click on one of them (not the top one), click copy to clipboard and nothing happens in the list? What should happen is that the one you copied should be moved to the top of the list. What happens when you click on 'Refresh'? Same thing as when you turn the service off and on, or is it different?
I've never had this issue happen to me so I'm just trying to understand whether there are some particular steps which make it happen. Anyway, I'll take a look at the code, but any extra information would be helpful. Thanks.

No, not like this. I want to copy an item to the List and nothing happens. Then I switch off and on the service ones a time then the copy works !!!

OK, I understand now... I think
The problem is that the service refreshes every X seconds, depending on how you have it set in the settings. If you copy something and open the list, the service might not have refreshed yet and therefore the item won't appear in the list. If you know you copied something and it's not there you should just hit the 'Refresh' button and it should appear, that's the reason why I put it there.

OK Thanks,

Version 1.3 is out with the following changes:
Links without 'http://' will be now detected
Added confirmation upon content deletion
Current clipboard content gets highlighted in bold
Text size for the list can be changed (see the settings)
Older items will be automatically removed (see the settings)
Many other fixes
Up on the Market and in the first post.

Why does a Clipboard app need "Full Internet access"?
The installer mentions the latest version requires network access.

OK. I think it is somewhat annoying that there isn't a separate permission for ad-only internet access, as that would probably make users more trustful of applications which request permissions that may have nothing to do with the app's functionality (such as this one).

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Some people may think that this is a dead application, but nope. I still have plans for it, but not enough time at the moment Anyway, here is the version 1.4 update:
Added support for shortening links using URLy when sharing them (only if URLy is installed)
Fixed a couple of small bugs
Tiny tweaks to the user interface
Simplified English localisation
New APK is in the OP and also on the Market. Enjoy.

Version 2.0 is out, with the following changes (many of which have been promised for a longer time):
New user interface
Restore clipboard at boot
Improved communication with the service
Persistent storage improved
Contents can be manipulated when the service is disabled
Integrated with Android's Quick Search Bar
Get it on the Market or in the OP (still free with ads)

Version 2.1.0 is out, in the usual places. Here are the changes;
Fixed list items too small
Fixed double notifications
Fixed clipboard erasure detection
Fixed status bar icon to match UI guidelines
Added cloud backup/restore for Android 2.2 and newer (must be enabled in device Settings -> Privacy)
On a side note, the cloud backup/restore service which Google provides for Android applications is rather cool. It's really simple to implement and use, so here's to hoping that more developers will include this feature in their applications

[App] Everywhere Clipboard - ultimate clipboard solution

Everywhere Clipboard extends Android clipboard function and brings real desktop clipboard experience to you on mobile phone. Everywhere Clipboard is a Windows Office style clipboard panel which records copied items into a history stack. In addition to that, the clipboard panel can be opened anywhere in any application without the need to leave your current window or switch to different windows. To bring up the panel, just click on a tiny trigger icon located at the edge of your screen and the panel will expand. Brought to you by the same Dev who made Smart Taskbar and Button Savior.
If you are a serious email or note taking user like me, you might find it improve your overall productivity a lot because there is no more app switching back and forth for simple text copy and paste action.

Is there any way I can invoke this from Smart Taskbar? I'm a Pro user and like the idea but would prefer to have a way to pop up Smart Taskbar and quickly select Everywhere Clipboard so it overlays the original app (the one that was active when I activated STB). Does that make sense?

tks
great
another kiumiu style app. i'd like to have the pro version.
~

Great idea, didn't know it could be done
Makes getting to your clipboard very easy. I have never seen something done that way, honestly would not of though it was possible (floating the icon off to the side everywhere?!). As a dev I am trying to wrap my brain around how you accomplished that. That is pretty damn cool. If you have a blog I would love to read about it.
On a side note, the xda article Enjoy Copy and Paste The Way it was Meant to be... states this: "With this new app, you can copy text from any app in your device". You didn't really say that in the market description and I wasn't able to copy and paste from apps like Facebook or Twitter unless they already allow it. I think some people might think find what xda has said a little confusing. Then again I could be wrong about all of this and it's just not working on my device DroidX 2.3. Let me know.
Thanks!

I just bought thee app. I don't have much time to test right now.
Please add an option to disable the message in the notification area.

I've been using andclip as my clipboard manager.
I like Everywhere Clipboard better for the always available "trigger" popup...But andclip has an option to allow you to manually enter entries, whereas I don't see such an option with EC.
I could just open some text editor and type in entries and select->copy as a workaround, but if EC could be updated to include this feature native...I'd definitely make the switch from the other app and buy EC.
Thanks!

Some more feedback:
- Can you please make the settings accessible via the popup? Having to go to the apps list and find 'clipboard' everytime I need to make changes is annoying
- Have a 'Permanent' items tab (or maybe integrate into the 'notes' tab?) so I can freely clear out any "junk" in the 'clipboard' tab, but still have all my important items available without having to re-add them.
- Move the enable/disable message into 'Ongoing' notifications...This way it's not taking up space on the notification bar, but it's still available via notifications pulldown
Sorry if it seems I'm pestering, but I'm very much liking EC's popup clipboard and want to make the switch...Just needs a little tweaking and I'm there.

QR code please

Will this work within the native email program on a Droid X?

I am not sure if i understand this clearly but I think EC has this feature also (manually delete clipboard entries) in current version. But you have to do that in EC's main window, not in the quick panel. So you have to switch to the main app window to do all kind of micro management jobs. I will also try my best to make quick panel able to do some item/file management features.

O!M!F!G! How could I live without this wonderful app?!
Thank you VERY much!

Hi,
There are many windowParams in Android. With propery param combination, you can make popup like the one in my app.

Very nice app! Just bought the Pro version.
Would it be possible to add an option to clear clipboard automatically after a certain time?
I am using KeePassDroid and it has option to clear copied data from clipboard after specified time, but it appears that this data would not clear itself from Everywhere Clipboard.
If it's not possible to integrate this functionality between apps, adding own clear timer to Everywhere Clipboard would be nice.
Thanks!

yes the 'anywhere' is misleading.
you cant copy text from anywhere, infact i cant find a place that will copy text any differently than the normal select/copy text.
so for me, this is kinda pointless at this moment because 99% of the time i need to copy text from someplace that doesnt normally allow text to be copied.
i mean any place with text that is not embedded, like an image.

V1.1 updated on July 20, 2011
Fixed:
(1) Incorrect popup location when trigger side is set to left
(2) Removed a trailing linefeed when copy from txt
(3) Fixed Pause button trigger area wider than displayed.
Sorry guys. I forgot to add the toast notification once again !
Will do it few days later

hi jerryfan I was not able to paste the copied text with this app i tried everything is it possible or not
or it is just a history recorder of copied text

[GUIDE] How to edit App Icons Manually

Oh well, if you're like me that loves to do the things I could do the hardcore geeky way without the help of apps and tools, unless obviously using an app will save you a lot of time, then you're on the right thread.
Anyway this will be my first howto guide on xda-dev, please be nice . This will be a noob to noob guide, taking every step into consideration. If you've got any issues getting it done, please don't hesitate to leave a comment, so let's have a ride to geekville.
As you'd know, changing app icons is something every lover of awesome interface and design can't do without, and we've got Android Launchers that will do this for you on the go, but really, they just change the icons of the apps in the drawer and not globally, for example, Whatsapp's icon changed with a launcher only changes in the app drawer and not the entire whatsapp ecosystem, even worse, the minute you revert back to your stock launcher, it changes to the original icon.
Here's an illustration:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see in the image above, its the same es file explorer app but different icons, that's going to be our goal in this guide, changing the icons globally, if you changed the icon with a launcher, you'll only get your new icon replaced in the app drawer. So let's change our first icon.
Requirements.
A PC.
Apk Icon Editor By kefir500
iConvert Icons for Windows
Java Runtime Environment for signing the resulting apk by Apk Icon Editor. You can get it here.
An icon you'd like to replace for the old one.
Your time.
iConverticons.com actually does have an icon converter for the mac platform but since Apk Icon Editor is written in C++ for the Windows platform , what's the point? . Also the iConverticons utility does have a free version, don't know why they had to hide it on the site, you can just grab the free one from softpedia anyway, only costs you 10 seconds on every startup of the app.
Once you're done downloading the files from the links above, run their respective setups and grab any .apk file you'd like to try out in your android's
Code:
/data/app/
directory, (you're pro'lly going to need root access to mess with this directory, but you can always grab any .apk elsewhere).
1. Copy the .apk file to anywhere on your pc.
2. Now, get the icon you'd like to replace ready, it could be in the same path as your .apk file, doesn't matter, but preferrably go for a 512px icon size, you'll be glad you did. I'll be replacing the stock whatsapp icon with a flatter alternative by DtafAlonso on DeviantArt.
3. Start up the iConverticons app, then wait for its 10 seconds delay thing, before we create the icons, we need to modify the preferences for the conversion output, make yours match the images below.
4. Next, drag and drop the icon you want replaced in the iConverticons app, this will be followed with a dialog of where you want the resulting icons replaced, choose the folder you created earlier as the output folder and in about a second you should see a "Done" message.
5. Now go to that folder where the outputs from the conversion was saved, you should now see a set of icons in different folders namely xxhdpi, xhdpi, hdpi, ldpi and mdpi.
6. Start up apk-icon-editor.exe, then drag and drop your .apk file into the app's workspace, you'll get a progress bar showing that the package is being extracted and the contents of the AndroidManifest.xml file.
7. You will now see the original whatsapp icons in this window, Select the right icon size/dpi on the right, and then Right Click > Replace Icon ..then select the right icon size from the right conversion folder. The icon is replaced immediately, do these for the other sizes of the icons, you can choose to make the icons stay at just one size even on small devices, (just make sure you choose not to resize it if the editor asks if you want the icon resized).
8. Once you're done, Click "Pack Apk" and choose the destination folder you'd want your new apk file saved. You can choose to overwrite the previous one or have a copy of it named anything you like[dot]apk.
9. Then copy the new .apk file to your phone's sdcard and uninstall the app if it was present on your phone already, (installing the same app on your phone will cause the installation to fail), then install it.
Now you have a unique icon for that app.
NOTE: If you're curious as to why the original .apk file and the new one have different sizes, this is caused by the size of the icons you used, so for example, you might have an original size of 15.6MB and a new size of 15.45MB. one more thing, I have noticed apps like BBM misbehave when you touch their app icons something about them having conflicts with how the package was signed, so you can try this out with other apps apart from BBM and please tell me what apps break for you when you try it.

Does this work for the latest version of whatsapp? Version 2.16.259
Does this work for the latest version of whatsapp Version 2.16.259?
I tried to use a couple apk editor apps which have not worked. When you replace the original apk Whatsapp does not let you log in it seems like it checks with their server whether the apk is legitimate or not.

Really cool. Just a few things are unclear, how do i navigate backwards? "../cd" crashes the launcher. And how to I erase associations?
Looking forwards to files with spaces in their name support, maybe with "" around will be easier to implement?
I'll be reporting any other problems/ideas I have
Great work!

Hey, sorry, wasn't able to reply as soon as you posted (Thank you for the comment)
For the back navigation, you should use "cd .." instead
In 1.1 vrs you are able to use files with spaces in their name (hopefully ). You can find the apk here, I won't put it in the play store page until I'm absolutely sure it works fine...
I'll think about the autocorrect feature :fingers-crossed:

Exactly! (well specifically in Hebrew but that's the idea).

How to make split screen| dual window work for all apps.

New Edit : Just add any app and make it work on the fly.
No need of factory reset.
After adding your entries to multiwindow whitelist file. Goto Setting > Manage Apps > HwDualWindowLauncher > Clear data.
Thats it. You will see all your newly added apps in multi window option.
****************************************************************
So finally i have been able to make it work for all apps. Find tutorial below
Prerequisites
- Rooted device
- You need to do factory reset.
How to :
- You have to edit /data/cust/xml/multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml and add all apps which you want to have appearing in multi window. App name should be fully qualified. get app name from 'pm list' command in shell.
code : pm packages list |grep 'app-name'
- change permissions of this file to 'rw-r--r--' i.e. 0644. This is very important, if permission is not changed, multiwindow will not work.
code : chmod 644 /data/cust/xml/multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml
or use rom toolbox lite > root browser and change permission from app.
- Factory reset. After boot, multi window will show all apps you want.
To make it simple i have added most english apps and removed chinese apps to this file and added link here. Just copy/paste it over your file. Add other apps you want. Make sure to fix permissions.

****************************************************************
I am experimenting with adding other apps to split screen functionality.
There is a file in below location, which constitutes apps which are allowed in multiwindow mode.
path : /data/cust/xml/multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml
You can get the app complete app name from command(in teminal shell or adb shell)
pm packages list |grep 'app-name'
I was able to show chrome-dev app in multi window list after adding it to multiwindow whitelist and rebooting 2-3 times. Not sure how this works.
But after adding few more changes to xml, its not working anymore.
Maybe others can try apps and let us now if someone can figure out procedure.

Is this as a result of an update?

No. It will work on any emui 3.1 rom. Its just that i figured it out when i did full wipe with changed multiwindow file.

Hi @bark1234 Can clarify the Directory I don't seem to get the said file on my Huawei Ascend Mate 7 since you said it can work for Emotion UI 3.1

path is mentioned above only. /data/cust/xml/ Maybe try to search for file with name "multiwindow" in /data folder.
EMUI 3.1 i meant, any 3.1 version of X2 i.e. B106, 107, 108, or 109. Not sure about Mate 7.

This file doesn't seem to exist on my phone as well (Honor 6 H60-L02), in fact, there's no xml file related to the dual window feature at all as far as I can tell. But while searching for a file which could be somehow relevant, I stumbled upon the database file of HwDualWindowLauncher ("/data/data/com.huawei.hwmwlauncher/databases/hwmultiwindow.db") which seems to contain the apps (along with particular activities of these) selectable in the dual window launcher. By editing this database file, I've been able to get "Calculator++" and "AIDA64" to show up in the launcher:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And actually even run the activities:
The problem is that if you change the activity in any of those, the new activity will automatically go full screen, for example by going to the settings in "Calculator++":
Also, if you launch the app in regular (full screen) mode, it won't let you turn that into a multi window session:
At this moment I'm out of any other ideas as to how we could make it work better. If any of you know the solution, please share

To enable multiwindows on KangVIP, you should copy your
/cust/####/##/xml
folder to
/data/cust/xml
(don't forget about permissons and wipe cashes)
multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml from xml folder should be fixed via this method: How to make split screen| dual window work for all apps.
I have attached my fixed multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml (400 popular apps).
(you can start multiwindow mode for current application by longpressing square on navbar)
reboot and wipe dalvick/cash are recommended!

Is that *only* for the "KangVIP"? I would really like to have this feature on my Honor 6 phone which runs Emui 3.1 as well, but the xml file is nowhere to be found on my system.
EDIT:
So I tried and put that file you attached into the xml folder and to my surprise, it did load the whitelisted apps from the file, but the main issue is still there - as soon as the app switches to another activity, it takes up the whole screen. For example if you go to settings in the AliExpress app. Can you confirm whether it does or not happen to you too?
Additionally, it doesn't allow me to enable the dual window mode in these new apps, it still says that the app isn't supported
FINAL EDIT:
Finally got it right. A reboot was what I needed. Seems like it is then able to properly "recognize" the whitelisted apps. The apps no longer go full-screen on intent change, and it also lets me enable the dual window mode from all whitelisted apps. @ZeuseZ you may want to remove the Huawei launcher from your whitelist, as (at least for me) it partially broke the whole feature. Instead of giving me two app grids to choose from, enabling the dual window mode on the Huawei Home screen would actually add the launcher as either the top or bottom app in a *really* buggy manner. Removing the home screen from the white list makes it behave as it actually should.

I agree completely. But deleting permission of huawei.launcher doesn't change anything on my device (even after reboot and wipes cashes). I think the greed you don't like is not windowed hwlauncher but the part of multiwindow feature.
Have you tried to remove homescreen from whitelist? Have you had success with starting one app in window and another part of screen was the half of fullscree HwLauncher?

What you described did happen to me, but I wouldn't call it a "success" If anything, it was a rather buggy experience on my side.
I did remove the package "com.huawei.android.launcher" from the XML, cleared data of the dual window launcher app and then rebooted, which fixed the issue for me.

Could you provide screenshot?

A screenshot of what in particular?
On these you can see my home screen, the next one is after holding the square button for a while and the last one shows AliExpress app settings on the top half to demonstrate it doesn't switch to full-screen anymore.

Just add the file to that directory. I didn't have it either but it still worked after I cleared data and reset.
