I really need some help. I'm reading how to create one of these themes and I'm hitting a wall. The directions I have say to open Eclipse and click new android project. Well, it's not there. So I went to file, then new, and I find Android. So I click that. The next step I have says to load the template in to Eclipse I'm supposed to select "Project from existing source" and select the theme template dir. I do that and then it says click finish. Well the finish button is greyed out. I can't push it. What am I doing wrong?

I haven't seen the existing code for this adw theme, but do you have the android eclipse plugin installed? It seems that if you don't have the android project option you don't have the android development plugin.

Here are the directions I'm following. http://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/wiki/CompleteGuideToADW
I don't get the android option. Here's the picture

If I click file new and then click other I get this...
Now I'm assuming I'm on the right track right?
Well then I go to open the theme template and it won't let me open it. The finish button is greyed out and not selectable.
Am I missing something here?? I may have screwed a step up but, for the life of me, I can't figure out where.
Ok so your doing it correctly you just don't have any installed packages to work from. Notice that when you go to make a new android project that you have no available targets in the build target list. You'll need to open the AVD manager in eclipse and then click on the Installed packages and download everything in there, this will give you the android api's in version from 1.6 to 2.2 (its been a while). This will give you target packages to work with for the theme, since its from existing source its should choose 1.6 as the target (that what it did for me).
Heres the screen for where the avd manager is in eclipse. and next is the avd manager packages screen.

Dang it! I was hoping I wouldn't have to install them ALL! D: I only had the 2.2 since I'm using aosp. I guess I'm understanding the numbers wrong. So I need them ALL?? Thanks for the help man

technically you don't but its good practice. If you develop an app you should be concerned with more than just 2.2. To me it looks like you don't have any packages go ahead and install all of them and the optional packages also, they don't take up alot of run and you get more development options.
I love eclipse, amazing what it can do or be leveraged todo. Been using it for almost 7 years.
What was the point in installing the emulator for android? It's cool that I can have a virtual android phone on my pc but is there a point? Do I load the theme in the virtual phone to test functionality before trying it on my phone? Also, how to go about theming the framework? I got the directions for adw but I haven't been able to locate directions for the system.. thanks again bro

Well the emulator can be used to load a program that your developing, and since you can make a bunch you can theoretically make one fore every type of phone out so your app can be tested on different resolutions and across different frameworks.
You can load the framework-res into eclipse but I can tell you its not for a beginner, since you basically have to do it from decompiled source and it's a little tricky. I would suggest just d/l and working from the source (cm6) and compiling that, google doesn't support compile on a windows box but it can be done with some tinkering (cygwin, github). But again that is probably not the easiest way to go about learning android. I would look at the sample apps they have a bunch for each android version (clocks, snake games...) and this will give you a good starting point to then go on to bigger stuff.
Thanks man. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help. Am I pursuing a good project as a beginner by trying to theme adw? I design video games and I'm just kinda interested in learning android slowly on my own. Looking at the speed that android has grown, I think that in order to stay on top I should learn it soon. I can see within the next 5 years there will be games like cod on an all in one device running an android os of some sort and I'd like to get a jump on that now while there's not a market for it.

Lol sorry for the beginner comment just meant that this is a good place to start. I agree but I imagine it to be more like 2 years before we see stuff like that.

No need to apologize! That's exactly what I am. XD the problem with the system at the moment for really intense games like moh or god of war coming to android is the hardware. I think if we can get something like an ipad with a detachable bluetooth headset built in to the phone then people would be more willing to use it. The problem for now is convenience versus functionality. To have a system we can play games on you need a screen the size of an ipad but that's not easy to stick in your pocket or use as a phone. That's why I said 5 years. I hope it's 5 years! I got some serious work to do if it's 2!!

So I was on my computer browsing the free apps on the Android Market and ran across one buried deep within called Crackle. It's description caught my attention "Watch full-length Hollywood movies & TV shows on your phone. Free and on demand. Watch FREE movies on your Android phone." So when I clicked on it to see what it was all about, of course it wouldn't let me download it because it's not compatible with my phone....but I seen it was compatible with the Arc so I said f*ck it and decided to give the apk a shot.
So glad I did! I am currently watching "Men In Black" on my X10i, for free, via Crackle!
When I first installed it and opened it up I tried to play a movie but it prompted me to get Adobe flash, which I already had installed, but I went ahead and did it anyway and when I got to the market (automatic redirect when I chose to follow the link via my browser) it prompted me to update my flash. I updated it and got back to Crackle and immediately got a FC. Not one to give up so easily, I opened Crackle again and this time was able to play my movie with no problem. I gotta say, picture quality isn't half as bad as I thought it would be. It's actually pretty damn good!
Installation:
1.) Download the APK and save it to your sdcard
2.) Using a file explorer (I used the one native in WB TW Xperia GB v3.x), find
the apk on your card and install it.
3.) Do not open the app yet! First make sure you have the latest version of
Adobe flash. Just because it says v10.3 doesn't mean it's the lastest version.
Go into the market and find the app, click on it, if it shows an option to
"update" then you need to do so. If not, proceed to the next step.
4.) Open the app and ENJOY THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!!!
Here is the link to it in the Market so you guys know this isn't Warez

That's why I highlighted the countries it works in, in bright pink.
I have personally confirmed this to be working on the original and updated firmware!! So no matter what you've done to your Sensation, this should work.
All this hooking up the phone to a computer to flash a new splash screen through fastboot or packing PM85IMG.zip files with a new splash is all WAY more complicated than this needs to be. I detailed this out in another splash screen thread but it's buried in the thread and I want people to be able to have easy access to this information.
You can keep various splash screens on the phone ready to be switched as the mood strikes you when you're out and about since almost 1 click access.
Here's what you do.
Creating a new Splash Screen...
First you have to make or get new splash screens. You can get them pre made all over this forum. If you make your own, convert them to img files using these instructions.
Now that you've got fancy splash screens to play with....
Create a directory on your SD Card called "splashscreens" (Or whatever you'd like to call it). This is just a place to store your splashes.
Put all of your *.IMG splash screen files there. Just be sure to name them descriptively since you won't be able to view them in img format. So if you have a splash screen of the Joker, call the file Joker.img and the splash screen of Batman as batman.img so you know which files are which. You get the idea.
Got that part? Great. You're halfway home. And you're all set up already for the next time too!
Flashing a new Splash Screen to your phone...
Now download an app call GScript from the market. It's free. All it is is basically a terminal emulator that saves scripts so you can run them off a menu instead of typing them out each time. (Brilliant, huh?!)
Save the following line as a script. Make sure it's EXACT.
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/splashscreens/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
Be sure to check that this GScript script needs SU access. (There's a box to check)
Now run it, and it'll find that Joker.img that you renamed to custom.img in your splashscreen directory and flash it to the right place in the phone.
Want to use another image tomorrow? Just rename custom.img back to joker.img so you'll know what it is next time, rename the new image file to custom.img. Go back to GScript and click your saved splash screen flashing script and boom! New splash screen. Go you, you're more awesome than your friends!
If you type the script in right the first time, it's 100% idiot proof the next 1000 times.
Warnings...
Do NOT use this script on other devices. Another device will keep the splash screen in a different spot and you might flash your splash screen over top of something far more important. The method should work on at least most HTC devices, but the exact location will be different for most. For example it's blk16 on the MyTouch 4G.
The images for flashing still have to be properly formatted as 960x540 IMG files. You can use the other tools linked earlier in this post for that. This won't magically make any old 200x200 JPEG into an awesome splash screen.
If you botch it, it's not my fault. I literally just did this seconds ago and it works like a charm if you do it right.
And if this is still too much for you, look up BootFlash on the market. For 99 cents it apparently does everything for you. (But it's not nearly as nerdy!)
Here's a few I made to get you started.
I didn't create any of the elements in these images. I just mixed and matched existing elements I found online. (Though I did type "Who ya gonna call?" without even needing spell check!)
The embedded images are JPEG's because that's how Photobucket rolls. The attached ZIP file contains the BMP and IMG version of all 3 pictures so you can either convert them yourself or just flash them right away.

that's a little unfair, Skipjack had posted this method before but it hadn't been verified as working on this new FW, so credit to him for testing it.

I've never tried that, so I'm just guessing....but I don't know why you wouldn't be able to. I think ADB gives you access to the mmc blocks. (I said I think, not I know)
If it does, this should work fine.

I figured I had just flashed the new firmware...had a fresh nandroid backup....and the FW PM58IMG file was still on the SD Card. If it screwed anything up I could just reflash the firmware again in 5 minutes and be no worse off for wear.
And yeah about the BootFlash app...it probably works great. But I don't like having apps write to the dark corners of my phone without knowing exactly how the app works. It just takes 1 thing to go wrong for the app to think it's running on a different phone and write the splash file to block 17 instead of 14 and suddenly you've got a splash screen where something more important used to be.
Plus, that app takes any image off your phone....sends it to a server somewhere and converts it to a properly sized IMG file and send it back and then flashes it. That's a lot going on....and a lot of steps where something could get botched. It probably works 99.999999999% of the time. You could probably use it for years and never have a problem. But for some people, like me who are control freaks, that's not good enough. I like knowing each step of the process and being able to see if each step works right. But that's me. If you want to try BootFlash, go for it! I'm sure it'll work fine. If you don't like giving up that kind of control, use my method. (I say 'my' loosely. I didn't invent this. I just ported it from the MyTouch 4G where other smart people created it and tested it on the Sensation.)
this really is the easiest way, i have always flashed my splash screens like this. tried a few of the tools and they are just too much work rather than just typing in the command.

I'm sure he has. And the developer might be a great programmer. It doesn't mean I'm willing to trust an app made by someone I know nothing about to write to my mmc blocks.
Even then, it's that the app is made for use with multiple devices that freaks me out. When the app gets updated, if the developer swaps the Sensation script to the MyTouch by accident and boom...you've flash to the wrong file.
For me, I wouldn't take that risk. But that's me. I'm a wuss like that.
I'm sure BootFlash works fine. This method is for people who prefer to do it themselves.

What if the server that runs that file conversion program is down?
Servers do go down. It happens.
You'll be stuck with the splash screen you have for minutes...maybe hours! Your friends will think you're a loser because you can't change your splash screen!!!! They will abandon you. You'll still have hope to meet a beautiful girl who will love and marry you....if only you introduce yourself by buying her a drink. But alas....you're $1 short of what you'd need to buy a drink so you'll never meet her and you will grow old and die alone! If only you hadn't spent that $1 on BootFlash because you didn't want to set up a simple local script.
Seriously though BootFlash is great. This is an alternative to that if you prefer to do things manually.

Android flasher screwed me up one time. Something didnt go smoothly and my rom got all funky. I had to revert to a backup.
That sort of thing can happen easily with these "flash anything" apps.

Yes. All GScript is is a terminal emulator clone that saves scripts.
Everything works exactly the same if you typr it into terminal emulator
But you deffinately needto su first

Great! Works like a charm! I was lazy and bought BootFlash Pro, and it didn't work. Considering the time wasted playin' in Photoshop for a while to get that awesome image, the additional nbimg step to make it work is not that much of a trouble. I used Android Tuner Free instead of Gscript, so any program that can save scripts is fine. BUMP4thegreatergood! Thank you!

NICE!!!
I just loaded the splash.img, in the attachment (i found it somwhere on the forum and converted it), by your instructions in teh guide... it works gr8.
I actualy couldn't do it with standard Terminal emulator. I did it with GScript. I had some doubts as the GScript force closes after some test sctipt runs... and when i inserted the command from the duide it also FC-ed but it loaded the Splash.img succesfully. :victory:
Thank you.

As far as I know only with S-OFF you can change splash screens
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Notice: These builds are experimental and most likely not fully, or at all working. Proceed at your own risk.
EDITS:
7/6- changed download link up a directory
7/6- added sd card fix that can be added to a build to allow sdcard use and JRW 28's build.prop to utils folder
This is where I am going to post all my CM9 and AOKP work. Please feel free to pitch in and help out if you can. You can PM me if you want privacy, but I would rather keep most of the discussion open in this thread so that others can see.
What do we have here?
Most if not all of what I will write about here is based on ROMS for other devices that can be found here. These ROMS are not meant to be used as a "daily driver" if you will, but more to be tested and hopefully improved until they work. The hope would be to get the radio working so they could actually be used to make calls.
Versions
I'm dividing the builds up into different categories
1. Nightly- They probably won't actually be nightly, maybe 2 some day and then not 1 for a week, but they are the most cutting edge, and may not even boot. Only nightly builds currently exsist.
2. Release Candidate (RC)- a bit stabler, will work fine, but will still have problems as listed.
Changelog
7/6/12:
Initial releases of AOKP and CM9. both are based of Droid 3 and AOKP appears not to boot
Problems
Here is a list of generic problems, along with ones specific to certain builds. I'll add on to this.
Generic:
1. No radio- This is the big one, no clue how we're gonna fix it
CM9 Nightlies:
1. no sd card
2. no wifi
3. no sound
AOKP Nightlies:
Downloads
All download can be found here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Motorola_ATRIX_2_Developers/lkrasner/
Bug reporting
Please report bugs in this thread and be sure to state the following
1. which version (date +nightly, RC or Stable)
2. What the problem is
3. conditions required for it to occur
4 any other important details.
Example: 7/6/12 nightly no sound only in airplane mode also causing apps to force close when trying to play sound (that is all made up)
Want to help out with fixing? Please PM me or let me know here what you think you can fix, or ask me to give you a job. Thanks!!!
Just in case...
I will look into the taboo world of the RIL.... since I know that is off limits on XDA...
I will communicate anything through PM though, I just wanted to put it in here, so others knew not to discuss this here, and that I was going to see what I can achieve on cracking the RIL.

Because it has to do with the radio, and opening it up. Modifying or talk of modifying radios, cell unlock, S-off, and hacking free cell service are all off limits on XDA. I am not 100% sure on all of it, so you might check with our mod.
I also sent you a PM too.
About the only thing I can do here is give the correct build.prop setting for CM9/AOKP to work on our phone, and that is the following:
Code:
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.hsupa.catergory=9
What I am going to do is a little more back door and "forcefull" if these setting don't work for anyone who has it loaded or is going to flash it.
right now I can't flash my A2, because I am running another bootloader/kexec type of hack to try to get my unsigned kernel to boot.
This weekend I will try and see what I can do with the actual ro.ril.so files.
Downloaded...can DB for mirrors if anyone needs. May hold off flashing myself until a little more fixing is done. Very excited to see the ball rolling now though. Great job guys...keep it up!
@lkrasner. You sir are bound and determined to get us non stock roms for this phone. Thank you for all of your efforts. I have the weekend off so i will be testing these roms over the next few days to see if i can help in any way. Thanks again.

I noticed a few little issues.
1) The following line is in there twice with different numbers:
Code:
persist.ril.mux.noofchannels = 8
persist.ril.mux.noofchannels=9
2) The ro.ril settings are a little different than our "known good" settings:
Code:
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.hsupa.category=9
Try changing the the ro.ril.grpsclass to 12, as in my above post.
These are just the things that so far stand out to me to begin with.
If anyone wants to give them a try and let us know....

I think I will write up a quick shell script that changes the necessary properties in build.prop so that we can do it to any build and not worry about screwing up other things by totally replacing it.
How should I go about it? sed I guess? any other ideas.

awk and sed or Perl, since Perl has the interpreters and edit functions for text already built in.
It might be best to just have the script create the correct build.prop no matter what, instead of edit it, that way we know that the correct file gets used, and not some "accidental" flub up that someone might have played with... sort of like a built in recovery so to speak. you can always back up any other versions.

but won't that be a problem with different builds? isn't the build.prop different for AOKP and CM9 and even for different ones of those possibly?
I would do Perl, but I have never used it in my life, so I would probably screw something up pretty bad, or just take forever to do it.
Rils are modified and created in other forums, so I wouldn't think it would be a problem for us.

Yes you are right.... I am going to do something that has the possibility that I might have to go rogue and change and release proprietary code in an open format, and that is what is not allowed, and I can't even discuss it here. Anyone who would like more information can PM me.
Here is a rundown on the RIL, and why it is important:
http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/development/pdk/docs/telephony.html
We need it to be open source, but it is not, and it is usually propritary code. If I can find an open source version we are in luck and we can compile the CM9 version and just plug it in... otherwise I need to go and hack it.

Hi, first thank you for your work. Most people don't understand that you guys work for "free", other then donations. Secondly I am asking you directly because in working with this device I have gotten many different responses. Some have stated that roms written for the U8800-Pro will also work on the U8800-51 from Consumer Cellular. I haven't tried that because others have said installing your rom on my 51 would brick it. I have installed and am running Aurora ICS from this guide on XDA
From stock to ICS a guide for your U8800-51 or AT&T Impulse 4G
I don't want to do anything stupid so since this is your rom I was hoping you could give me a difinitive answer, can I use your ROM on the U8800-51? If not is there a ICS Rom you could recommend?
Thank you very much in advance, this is forum in very confusing and I want to do the right thing since it's not my phone but my husbands.

Huawei keyboard is one of the best I have ever seen!
It has one minus (when you type a web address, 'space' is replaced by '.com' by default - you need to press alt), but a huge plus (you can slide to obtain secondary characters instead of long-pressing).
File manager is balanced, not better or worse than others. It is very nicely integrated with the cloud.
Backup application is a good replacement for Titanium (backups data and applications)
I prefer the default 4.1.1 camera. Huawei application has some good points, but still I prefer the default from gapps. Also, please note that Hauwei Gallery does not sync with Picasa!
I don't recommend Huawei Weather, as it does not always work. on the screen in get a location not found.

Thanks for your opinion of this thread.
I think that you can try install ROMs for U8800 & U8800pro to your device. But if you like your current ROM so I recommended "don't try it". U8800-51 has different wi-fi and bt drivers so if you'll try install these ROMs your wi-fi and bt won't work. For recommending ROMs you must install all ROMs for your device because all users have diferents requirements.

I like stock camera app too. For weather: app is working but widget don't work. (widget works only on huawei stock ROMs).
This sounds interesting. I suppose this works with non-Huawei phones? As for the question about Gingerbread, I'm sure these work with a specific version of Android, or rather Huawei's version of Android, e.g. HTC Sense for HTC phones.
In any case, I am curious about the DLNA receiver (or maybe server?) and the keyboard. Had I found this earlier, I could have tested on a couple builds. Nandroid backup my AOKP ROM, then factory reset it, and flash this, test in a clean 4.1.2 ROM, then flash my CM7 Nandroid, factory reset that, flash this, test in a clean 2.3.7 ROM... Woulda been fun. Subscribed to this topic, I'll definitely do all that in a few days when I get a chance, and I will take screenshots if nobody's done it by then.
Thank you so very much. I'll play around with it a bit and let you know what I come up with. Your response is very appreciated and very informative.
Cheers!!!

Aroma appears to have installed nothing. Wallpaper chooser can be installed as a normal app (AFAIK, all wallpaper choosers can... so collect them from ROMs you test, if you like the wallpapers they offer...), not sure about the others. I checked them all in Aroma and it (TWRP I guess) said the flash was successful. But nothing installed. I can push them manually and set permissions accordingly, though.
Camera can be installed as a normal app as well. It's very nice, but it does not support the ICS/JB swipe to preview/swipe back to take another. Also can't seem to record video. It says my internal memory is full (it's not) and that it will save to SD card (that's fine) but pictures take and videos don't record. The record icon doesn't change.
DLNA *seems* to work, but it times out when trying to connect. So does ES File Explorer. Fault: Most likely mine. I suck at networking. I tell Windows 7 to share my damn files and that should be that. Give "Everyone" read permission and no one "write" permission (because f*** you you can't edit my damn files son, but you can look at them). My brother got DLNA (via MotoBlur) to work with PS3 Media Server running in Windows. We use that to stream from PC to Xbox, guess we need it for Android as well (or we could learn networking and not be such chumps, but PS3MS is easy mode).
Not messing with File Manager or Cloud. I already have the best file manager (ES File Explorer, IMO it's the best) and I have a ton of clouds. It feels disingenuous to use Huawei's without buying a Huawei device. They can see you've never used a Huawei device and they can close your account. Whether they will or not is another matter. Dropbox will give you 2GB, Google Drive will give you 5GB, and so will a bunch of others, like Box, SugarSync, and Ubuntu One (the latter doesn't care if you use Ubuntu or not). Amazon also has a 5GB cloud, but no Android app (this is separate from Amazon MP3, which does have an app).
Anyway, thanks for sharing.

[APP][Beta] Notes (Material Design) <-- Testers needed!!!!!!
Notes (Beta)
Google+ Community - Beta signup - Play Store
Had to create a new community, apparently you can't change visibility to public after it's been created as private.
Hello world! I just (beta) released my own, first Android application to Play Store!
As of now it's in beta and I need your help!
I need testers!
I have created a group/community on Google+ where everyone is free to join (although it seems I have to accept individually.. Annoying!)
There you can find links to the beta signup and the app on playstore and you need to join the community to be able to download the Beta.
The plan is to take the app out of beta as soon as possible but that requires some serious testing and without you that's not possible!
So give me all feedback, even the worst kind! Bugreports, screenshots, hugs! Everything!
You can also share your ideas and thoughts. There is also a changelog section for updates!
Anyone speaking all but Swedish and English are very welcome to help translating the app!
Soon:
- Online storage
- Widgets
- Ability to share notes (E-mail, export to textfiles etc.)
- Themes (Color palettes basically)

I just downloaded this app and it looks very nice for a beta application.
I'd like to make one suggestion however. I can already see the security question you chose to implement in the security section of the app is going to cause a lot of fuss by the general public. I can already see people being weary putting their real credit card # in because they will think you will be able to see this answer. Then they are going to put in a fake #, forget what they used, and get locked out. This results in a 1 star review.
My suggestion is to create a list of 10 or so predefined questions they can answer. Even better let them type in their own question that they can answer.

Hi. Thank you for your time!
This has crossed my mind and had me thinking, but then I remembered the 4 last digits are the only ones that show (most of the times I can remember, anyhow) if you add a creditcard to a online site, for example. Plus its basically impossible to forget! So I thought this would make no difference, but I'm afraid you're right.
Other security questions will be in the next update (or after that one), because this is a very big deal. And ofcourse the ? button will be removed, its only for developer/beta purpose.
Thank you for pointing this out!

This was fixed in the latest update. Try updating the app from Play Store and see if you still have this problem. Thank you both.
I am glad it's in active development

Hi and thanks for trying out my application.
The Statusbar
It cannot be colored as in android L because you cannot mix android L with previous versions of android since its the developer preview (it's just that, a preview). So the only way to do this (for now) is by replicating the design and other effects to make them work in previous android versions where the coloring of statusbar obviously cannot be done.
I could however, make a separate app only for android L but imagine having to work with two apps at once.. Alone.
When they release the full thing this will be possible in the same app by declaring the sdk to L (or whatever it will be called).
Offline Mode
The offline mode is for when I have an online database to keep the notes. As of now its only local. When this is ready, you will be able to choose whether you want to keep your notes online or local.
Thank you.

And I'm glad you like it!
Just a couple of things:
a) Is there no longer a beta community? I go to G+ Community and then Beta signup, but all I see is:
Sorry – nothing to see here.
There may be several reasons:
The app that you’re looking for doesn't exist
or
the app developer is not currently running a test
or
you are not eligible to participate in the testing programme.
If you received the link to this page from someone, we recommend that you contact them for more information.

b) I have not installed it yet ... will do it soon, but in the meantime, on the screenshots, I see those label kind of things (Beta, Incredible, Similey, etc...) what are they? I mean, I would love to have either folders or "labels" as Gmail does so that I can group notes and then would like to have a lock/unlock feature for each group/folder/label.
c) I would also think it would be nice if the online feature allowed th user to save the notes to ones own Gmail or Google Drive account or even maybe dropbox or box.
Design looks nice.
Off to download, but will look at it only tomorrow.
Cheers!

its can be done look on lg g3 kk stock when you enter any app status bar change color, and also with an xposed module can be done that on rom but i wont use xposed (art reason), for example look on app "pushbullet" awesome transparanecy on statusbar and navigation bar am just suggesting so you will do what you like

The google+ community should be working as its supposed to. For me both links work fine. Have you joined the community before you try to join the beta?
These are tags. The tags are like categories. I am working on a way to sort these by tags. In the meantime all they do is to show you what kind of note it is.
To be able to share the note is one of my primary goals. You should be able to save to a local textfile, send by email and save to drive. I have successfully added a file in drive with the name of the title but the part where the content fills the file is very hard.
Thank you for trying out my app and thank you for f
The feedback. Much appreciated.
Gorgeous! Really good job here, here are some recommendations:
1/ Can you implement a feature, where I can restore my notes from Google Keep?
2/ Archiving notes, so only the important ones are visible
3/ Purple colored "Title" is burning my eyes!

Thank you for trying my app. And thanks for the kind words.
I don't know how Keep works (I mean behind the scenes) so that might be difficult. Worth looking into though since alot of people are using Keep. Great tip.
Yes this will be implemented. You will be able to swipe away notes later on. This follows android guidelines and its very useful.
Oh, really? Sorry to hear that it's the color that burns your eyes or the actual little text? Its probably not needed since the inputfield has a hint saying 'Title'. Will look into it

I see.
I will remove it and see if it still looks good. It gives the top part some color though. Might look boring without it, but I will try.
Thank you again.
