[Q] Simple and light weight TO DO APP - suggestions? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hi.
I have tried two To-Do apps. Both run in the background and use lots of memory. They also run at startup.
I am looking for a simple app to write a few things on it ("register for class", "buy milk"), stuff like that, which DON"T run in the back (don't need it).
Any suggestions?
THANKS

I use Evernote for this purpose and it works quite well.

Thanks! But that's excactly the type of app i don't want
light, no memory usage, no auto-startup

Have you tried status reminder? I like it, and it's super light.
Couldn't find in market, but I think I got it from this website somewhere... think it was mentioned on the portal. A Google search will guide you .

I use Astrid but that runs in the background. There was an app I tried that I was really impressed with and the only reason I went back to Astrid was because it was a little too light. I needed better reminders and such. It's called Any.DO. Here's a link to it the market. Very nice interface which you don't always get with lighter apps.

Why not use just a Text Editor. I use Jota Text Editor.

Thank you! Indeed an amazing app !!!!
Also found "Note Pad" - which is so very basic but does a great job

Red Eye Reduction In Photos

I'm hoping someone can be of assistance, amazingly no one in the GS2 forums was to be of any help,surely this is a common theme for many,im just looking for a recommendation even for an app so i can get rid of the red eye in photos.
cheers

Doesn't anyone know any way i can get get rid of the red eye in photos?
I use PicSay Pro. You must change the red eyes manually
I did a quick search on the market for "red eye remover" and came up with about 8 apps, some lite versions and some pro versions. I've used PicSay Pro before and it's pretty good.

Pic Say free version doesn't fix the problem, ive tried a few others and cant see anything to get rid of the red eye, which app would you recommend?
PS-Id sooner a free version as ive already spend too much on apps the last 2 weeks.
Photoshop.com online editing tool is quite useful in a pinch, but any picture editor worth it's salt will have this function as standard. Even Windows Live Photo Gallery does a good job of it!

Papyrus - new vector note taking app.

Noticed a lot of new software being released for the note as part of the Galaxy note challenge... galaxynotespenchallenge.com
My favourite so far is Papyrus, the notes are vectors, so you can copy and paste or move them. Still in beta, I'm thinking this has a lot of potential.

Thanks, I think this is much better than S-memo.
Thanks.
That is cool how you can use your finger to delete.
I like the organisation of the notes too, with multiple pages per note.
Although I haven't used it, I think Freenote has a better system for actually entering in and editing your handwriting. Whilst you're writing word, it lets you undo each stroke, similar to Papyrus, but once you finish a word, each word is saved as on object in the note and then you can select individual words and edit them. I think this would make going back and correcting spelling mistakes, poor penmanship etc. a lot easier. Plus I like the way you can highlight text in Freenote.
I think if Papyrus can get some good functions for S Pen button, that would be cool too.
Awesome... Got it installed now. It's pretty smooth, and I'm glad to see that the sheet size is essentially unlimited.
Anybody have any idea where the note files are stored? I can find the PDF file if I've tried to export the note, but can't find any sign of it before attempting to export.
I am on Criselkos ICS ROm and my pen is not recognized by Papyrus. Anyone else having this issue?
great app
Thanks, this is a great app !
I particularly like the fact that everything you write becomes a vector. I understand this is only a beta but here are a few suggestions that could possibly be implemented in a final version :
- if writing (or drawing) becomes a vector image, why not add tools that allow you to change size / orientation ?
- i noticed you can not (unless i missed something) copy/cut a part of a note to paste it on the next (or any other) page. This is quite frustrating if you've started taking a note and finally decided you'd rather have it on the next page.
I personally set my page size setting to A4 as a standard. That way when i export my files (via dropbox or directly send them through email) they appear in a "normal" size for computer users (including me for filing or archives...).
The feel of the writing is very smooth, sensitive and overall enjoyable. Keep up the good work !
Can someone please post the apk? Notes running AOSP ICS are marked incompatible on the market
here is the link of the apk, works for me on ics stunner

I have installed it, but the s-pen does not function whilst using the app.
There is a setting that says "enable active pen" but it is greyed out, saying "this device is not active pen enabled"
Thanks!
I can't select "active pen" in settings.
ICS Stunner.26
But the pen does work!! although a bit slow.
I'm not able to download this app from the Play Store. I'm on Stunner. I think it's because Neobuddy uses Nexus framework right now and it isn't compatible with it supposedly.

Definitely still to slow but has some potential, I'm still very partial to lecture notes (ICS only), the pace that that guy update the app with tweaks is crazy, if anything he has too many settings, but the advantage is you can tailor the note taking to your style.

[APP][2.1+] Naked Browser 1.0 - A full featured yet tiny web browser

Hey now,
I was fed up with the privacy violations, bloat, instability, and general stupid functionality of Android browsers. I decided to make my own. Introducing...
Naked Browser
TRUST: Right permissions with no spying.
SPEED: No bloat, including minimal GUI candy.
FEATURES: Crash restore, undo close tab, one finger zoom, infinite tabs, and more.
FREE: As in no cost. Not even any ads.
Here's the web site: http://nakedbrowser.com/android/
I've been working on this for the past few months. I've been quite meticulous when trying to focus on speed and avoiding bloat. As a result, it isn't the prettiest app in the world. However, please know that most of my effort went under the hood. Stability and a rich feature set mean more to me than eye candy.
Interesting concept. Must say, its REAL FAST
Inspite of all this, I would just advise some UI enhancements, thats it. Else it is a nearly perfect browser.
Oh, forgot to mention but the icon looks kind of old, how about adding a new trendy one? :thumbup:
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
It looks ok, though I cannot use it with this GUI mate... Looks fugly...
Would be the perfect browser If ui were tuned up a little bit... Will keep it installed to check for any updates
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks guys. I'm really happy to read that it's real fast and it would be the perfect browser.
I focused as close to 0% on the UI as possible. Honestly, that was a goal. My top priorities were speed, stability, and functionality/features. In fact, unless I forget something, other than the blue color I added the entire UI is based on function alone. I even resisted adding the button icons but it actually took time to read the labels to figure out what to do so I added them.
I even wanted to go with the generic default "andy the android" application icon but instead opted to draw my own globe from memory in about 3 minutes in GIMP. So, it's not an old icon! It's new!!! ;-P And obviously I'm no illustrator.
The UI shows my dedication to making it function properly rather than look beautiful. It's like Apache or something. The interface isn't beautiful--just a config file in Apache's case--but it works like a champ. Sometimes when you focus first on the way it looks (Microsoft?), you end up with a pile of doo doo. I prefer it to look crappy but run great. Later it can look and run great.
Anyway, thanks for checking it out. I'm still improving it so keep it installed if you like. You might find yourself using it, you might end up thinking it's beautiful, but either way it will improve.

And hell yeah, you did manage to get a fast browser... guess I will be using it when the interface gets a little better...

I just discover your interesting browser. Regarding to the size but bar tools should be display at buttom like zoom icons and only icons (no txt) cause it take too much space.
Hope to see next version if possible maybe with modern icon
Keep the good job
thanks
Thanks for the app, it loads fast and i actually like the UI, it's kinda cute :angel: . Any plan for urlfilter like in opera mobile, so I can block ad locally?
Really fast browser! The UI is sooooo sick!!!
But I found that the bookmarks and history on the start page are not support unicode languages, such as Chinese...
And is there a history page? Seems not. I can only access to history on the start page...
If there's a history menu or it can show the history inside bookmark page would be nice.
The rest is fantastic!
Thanks!!
Honestly this thing is pretty quick lol nice job!

Great browser man, but please for the lpve of my eyesight...put atleast a little bit into the UI, i dunno.. like 5% . ill use the browser but with my eyes closed lol.
good work

Great job on this browser man. Its fast and smooth. And as far as the icon, I for one like it
When my kids ask, what does this word mean? I tell them to bring me a dictionary........Then I smack them with it, and tell them to Google that sh¡t.
selecting words, copy/paste working well?
Thank you all for the feedback! The next version will be out in a day or two.

Yeah, right? It’s cute! Sure. Anyway, I would love adblock but it isn’t easy. I do not access transferred data so I can’t tell what’s an ad. I can imagine a few ways to access the data and filter it, so I’m keeping it in mind. Pro version.

Bad “soooo sick” or good “soooo sick”?

I made some small tweaks so the next version might look a teensy bit better. If there’s anything really odd like labels that aren’t on buttons then let me know. Otherwise, I’m focusing on my goals for the app and “make shiny” is not at the top of the list right now.
Many people say that it looks horrible, and I agree. However, they need to know that I’m focusing all of my time on features, speed, and stability. Adding some graphics or making a more complicated UI are just going to take me away from working on stuff under the hood AND slow the browser down/eat up RAM. I have a little background with cars. First let’s get it running, then we can paint the thing. That being said, any feedback is encouraged so just keep it coming!

About the home screen shortcut suggestion, actually I mean to create bookmark shortcut on launcher's home screen, not the browser's start page. For example, a Facebook shortcut on home screen...
And one more thing: A private browsing toggle would be even nice!

[Q] app to draw on picture

Is there a simple app that lets you draw on a picture? Just simple lines or a circle for example. It should be very easy, small and without ads. Does anyone know an app like that?
I could recommend PicsArt. First of all I have to say that it contains ads - but it's definitely worth a try. I installed it and don't need any other photo editing app! Drawing simple forms/lines on a picture is pretty easy So if you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot
Ive tried it before and hated it. It's full of ads and even shows up notifications and so on. Needs a lot of rights as well if i remember correctly. Is there a smaller app, without ads?
Root, install adaway..... And ads away. (gone) ?
Same as above. Plus notifications can be disabled for certain apps.

what are the best apps on f-droid to get? (with black themes)

I'm looking for black themed apps specifically for like Gmail. I've come across in GB insta YouTube vanced and even face Slim. Those have been great, still looking for a decent email application with a black theme. If anyone knows the best apps to get on f-droid share them here.
I'm interested to see who considers what app to be good and why. Also there was a YouTube alternative app that allowed downloading app videos what was that app called? I'm sure someone on here will know.

I think the YouTube you're thinking of is called OG YouTube.
As for black email clients, I've been using the Samsung one. It's a little different to get used to but not bad.
Bromite, open source Chromium without Google's crap, if you care about that
Newpipe, very lightweight YouTube client with downloads and dark mode.

Check out YouTube Vanced - it's the regular YouTube client but with all the ads removed, has black mode, background play, and a lot more features! It's basically the way YouTube should have been designed in the first place!

even though download doesn't actually work for me. never seen the option even
so i use snaptube along with it
For email im using TypeApp which has a dark theme and fairly customizeable appearance and can support multiple email accounts. Its not on f-droid however so if you dont have/want to use google play store you may be able to find the APK for it online.
If you use the hex theme creator it sets gmail background to whatever you themed background colour to.

If you personalise, setup the colours and settings you want. Then at the bottom build theme. Once that has finished, go to theme store and apply the hex theme.
Gmail, Google Photos, Play store and some others will theme.
The only issue I have found is multiple accounts in gmail I have to select the account swipe out of the app and back in every time I change account.

Interesting, I'll have a thorough look at the app hopefully it's as simple as you make it out to be. Cuz it comes packaged with two apps one being the theme selection store and then one of your own personal customisation. Also do you have to reapply the themes after every boot up? Or after every update do you have to uninstall each overlays like substratum if you wish to update?

Forget to mention that you need to turn on night mode in the hex app.
No the theme stays there all the time, when you make changes though, it seems that you have to apply the default theme then apply hex theme again.
