A good diagramming app with stylus support - Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps

I make a lot of presentation and most of my thinking is also very visual but I am certainly no artist. In the original video with the note 10.1 they had this really cool feature with smart shapes.
Obviously snote it's no sheet near as capable but I wanted to find something close to it on the market place. The diagramming apps I found are all feature based not stylus.
Anything worthwhile any one knows about? I don't need visio like functionality just simple way to represent workflows.
Thanks

There's a paid app that looks promising but is more expensive and does not have a trial version :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.diagrams.pro
There is also another paid app with a limited trial version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alarex.droiddia
Have not tried the above but they may be suitable for your needs.

If you don´t need complex charts, Droddia free can help. It´s limite at 40 objects.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alarex.droiddia&feature=search_result

I'm using mindjet (mind mapping diagrams)
s-note does have the smart shapes - just have to press and hold the productivity icon to select shapes (I'm not that clued up on them yet - can't figure how to make constrained shaped yet - eg circles not ovals, squares, not rectangles)

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

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.

What do you mean with navigation is a little bit difficult, what would you change?
It's fine actually. I was just a little unfamiliar with the menus because of being so used to Solar Explorer and its on screen menus. Now that I have played with it a bit more... the way your app is laid out... it allows for more screen real estate for phones. The images look better that way. As far as content, your app is way more thorough than most.

Ah ok.
But the UI is one thing I will change in the future for sure because using Androids standard menus is easier to implement but also brings some disadvantages.
Have you seen the "Quick controls" which you can enable for the standard browser ("Labs" section) and which can be displayed when sliding the thumb from the left or right edge? That's the way I'm going to implement my "next generation" UI .
Great app, I have many astro apps but yours is really fantastic!

[APP][2.2+] Smart Taskabr 2 - most convenient one hand optimized quick access launche

[Smart Taskbar V2]
Smart Taskbar is designed to make you use your phone one handed easily. All new V2 is even more one hand optimized. Launch any application instantly without leaving your current window. Swipe your finger or click the trigger icon anytime in any App to bring up Smart Taskbar panel for super fast app launching also works as app organizer, folder organizer, multi tasker, task killer, and shortcut manager. The App is carefully designed and implemented to make sure you can comfortable do most things with just one hand. If you are one hand operation freak and is always looking for something to use your phone easier with one hand, then Smart Taskbar 2 is the right thing for you. Although it is capable, but I still don't suggest you use my App in driving. :silly:
How is everyone saying about V1:
Showcased in XDA front page in 2010
Showcased in addictivetips front page in 2010
Showcased in howtogeek in 2011
Reviewed by lifehacker in 2012
[Some Background]
About three years ago, I introduced an app called Smart Taskbar which used a never been used technique called system overlay window to demonstrate the potential benefit of using top level window in Android Apps to create something that is always on top and always available first time. So thats why you see many many devs that use similar technique to make their Apps such as swipe pad, swapps, sidebar...etc. Many of you may not know its me who brought you the first app in this class in Android Market by the time because app Smart Taskbar V1 is not as famous as other similar apps. Probably due to lack of details or it is simply too engineering style.
During my development of V1 in 2010, I asked many friends around me to see how's their reaction with an always available, always displayed, tiny trigger button design thats is displayed all the time on screen to access a small launcher style window when pressed. All of them told me its obstructive and bad of user experience. 3 years has passed. Even Apple adopt the idea in their iOS5 called accessitive touch. I don't know did Apple engineers know about my App. But I am quite happy that my concept is accepted by Apple.
If you are interested to know more about my V1, you can refer to this XDA thread for more details:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/smart-taskbar-launch-any-app-in-2-steps/
So I decided to create a V2 to improve problems that I have in V1. I started the requirement and feature development as early as the beginning of 2012 and started real coding job in Jun 2012. Finally after about 6 months of hard coding, I released my first beta on PlayStore in March, 2013. After two more months of beta and debugging, I think its ready to announce the App to everyone on XDA today.
[Features]
☆One click in any window to access Smart Taskbar main panel without leaving your current window
☆10 speedy quick launch spots for 1 click App/Custom action launching
☆Organize Apps/Actions in groups
☆Organize Apps/Actions in folder
☆Task Switcher
☆Add unlimited number of widget to use (No more desktop space limit)
☆Gesture driven
☆Build custom action (aka shortcut) to do more
☆Do basic App management such as force stop or uninstall directly on screen
☆Sortable App list by filter of frequency, alpha numerical, or installation time
[New In V2]
☆Brand new one hand friendly design
☆All graphics now in HD quality
☆Runs different UI on Pad and Phone
☆Gesture driven
☆New folder design for you to create multi dimensional gropus
☆5 more quick launch spots
☆Sortable list
☆Free dragable trigger icon

This is truly great. You forgot to mention the ability to show statusbar when ST is expanded in full screen app. Bravo!
Hello!
Is possible to make this status bar starting only when I open google chorme?
And is possible to insert in the bar the typical button of a browser? (back, forward, favourite, setting, etc...).
Thank you!

I don't quite get you because isn't Chrome non full screen app?
For button control, it would require root for key simulation and I don't want to make ST to be a root App. So I'd suggest you try my key simulation App, Button Savior.

I need it becouse I have a Meizu MX2, tha has a own smartbar. But for many reason I had to use a customized rom that hide this smartbar, so I have chrome fullscreen without a bar (other browser has it, for example firefox, opera or safari in ios).
So, I tried you button savior, but is have to two problem for me, maybe you can help me to resolve:
1) I'd like it start when I open chrome and close when I close it. Maybe is possible to do this with tasker, is right?
2) When button savior start, I'd like to have it maximized (like a normal bar) I don't want to click on the arrow to make it apper.
Is possible to do all this?
Thanks for your support!

I bought V2 as soon as I saw it -- been a happy user of V1 since early on.
One thing I've noticed -- alphabetical sorting of the apps doesn't actually seem to show them alphabetically for me. I can't figure out what order they're displayed in ... perhaps the name of the APK as opposed to the app name?
Also, as some have posted in the Play Store comments, the circular Quick Launch spots look nice but they're a little small on my HTC One and don't show the app very clearly.
Saw this yesterday and installed it. Bought it today. Incredible app. Samsung should give this a good look. Absolutely the best organizational app I have used.

an amazing app. Can't give any suggestion at all. But just found folder item limit of 5 is too low. Will u change it to more? I think from the size of folder container, 4x3 (12) should be not a problem. hope u can enlarge the limit.

You press and hold on it for about 0.5S. Then you should be able to move it. For clean up all quick spots, there is no such function yet, I will try to add it later.

[APP][2.2+] Calculator 1.0

Free Skinnable Calculator!
Calculator is an application which must be in all devices, because no one knows when and where you need to calculate something. This calculator is very easy to use, it does not have any scary and complicated functions, only those that are in the usual everyday pocket calculator. In addition, you can always change the color of this calculator, if you're tired of everyday gray colors... You can for example choose the pink
The main advantages of this calculator is:
- Simplicity and ease of use.
- Stylish design.
- Ability to change skins (colors), you just need to click the menu and go to the settings.
Hope to receive feedback
Yea...
It's not very pretty. And also you market it as stylish, while it's filled with ads? ...Really?
There are enough calculators as it is, and almost all of them are prettier and more functional.

The idea itself is nice but badly implemented. The themes are anything but stylish, the color combinations are not the best. The font you're using is ugly for a calculator.
I respect the will to monetize an app, but there are some free calculators that don't display ads. Even worst, there are nicer free calculators that don't display ads.
When I read stylish calculator I think about Holo Calc (free, no ads, clear or dark holo themes) or Calcbot (shame there is not an Android version)

Hey Nightwolf, don't worry about the criticism. Its everywhere and it happens. I can say that the app works well and does what it needs to.
But as the guy stated that there is already many calculators out there. Many with great styles, and if I have to be honest (don't get upset) the interface of yours isn't as great. The ads should be removed as well.
The app itself is fine, just re-think the layout and buttons. Match it with the current state of android layouts. So its more consistent and not just random.
Here's some tips -
Re-think the layout.
Now create the new layout replacing all the old buttons and stuff. If you need help with the designs, private message me.
Make your calculator unique.
I hope to see you around here with more apps to come. Good work and good luck!
I'll reserve my Thanks for now and wait till a better version is out.

Use flat elements(buttons, windows. And the ui) and icons. Avoid using things with gradients. They just look bad.

Clover Paint

I had another go at this app and have to say it's the best art app I've tried
The first time I tried it the UI was way too confusing but it's been redone and it gives you the ability to create your own UI to suite your needs
You can configure the s pen button, the volume buttons and seen a youtube video where you can even use swipes on the screen (not sure how to do this yet)
I have the s pen button for colour picking while hovering and up and down volume for undo and re do plus if you have a keyboard you can use the keys for shortcuts
You can create your own clovers (shortcuts) for colours, navigation, tools which can be edited to your hearts content
You have options to create your own brushes, you can configure your s pen and everything is editable from creating your own colour palettes to your own textures and you can use your finger to smudge or blur
You can paint using watercolours, pencil, marker, airbrush, g pen, oil and sand (for textures) and even create your own by editing.
You can calibrate your s pen and pen pointer if you feel it's a little off set, everything can be edited until you feel comfortable.
The brushes are pressure sensitive and you can also use palm rejection (stylus options)
The canvas is is as big as you want it with no lag or slowdown and you can also import large images and export images into psd
I'm so glad that I gave this another try as it has everything I want from an art app and is worth every penny, you can have a go at the free version of clover memo to see how it all works which is basically the same minus some options and layers

There's also a pdf file you can download for a very good guide on how to use it found at google play store clover paint app
Tip for using the button on s pen to take colour samples go to gallery, key configuration, eye dropper (colour sample) then press add and hover with the s pen and click the button
Same for other configurations

Yeah same here, I've tried every art app there is and every one seemed flawed or had something missing, there was no perfect art app that had it all and it seemed like the ipad has some great art apps and android gets left behind but this makes up for it.
It's not perfect but close enough, read the reviews on google play

So I went to try this out. Too bad it's paid app. The youtube videos made it look pretty good.

Out of interest. What free apps are you comparing this to? I have many drawing apps on my tablet and this is hands down the most feature rich. There are still a few things it is missing that would really make it stand out from the crowd but saying that it is still the leader on Android in my opinion.
For those interested. The feature i'd really love is the color layer function from photoshop. I like to sketch and shade in black and white and then add colour to it after. This option isnt avaiable, so I have to colour first and then use dodge and burn to add depth to my images. Its not nearly as efficient or effective
I currently sketch in LayerPaint. The best app for simple sketches in my opinion.
I then import the PSD and various layers in to CloverPaint for further work.
I started to do a comparison chart of the various apps but soon realised that I didnt have the time to complete it and do it justice

You can add a copy layer then add colour to that and do things like fill layer with colour, there are loads of options for layers.
There aren't any good free art apps from what I saw, well apart from ps touch but it has a lot missing features like palm rejection and a range of different brushes.
Been using clover paint a lot now and learned how to customise brushes and so many other things by investigating the settings

I agree that there arent any good free art apps, I was just suprised when someone made it sound like an app as feature rich as CloverPaint should be available for free.
I agree there are lots of options for layers but not what i consider the best option. which is colour layer. I wish to have a black and white shaded image and then add colour to it while keeping the lower layer's shading and highlights

The developer is adding loads more stuff to it, also asked if he could make it so you can edit the names of the colours instead of just pallette 1, 2, 3 and so on.Really need this option for people like me who are colour blind and can sample colours from a chart and name them ourselves

To be honest I don't use gesture control, I just use the menu for putting tasks to buttons like using my s pen button for when I want to take colour samples. I just hover the pen over and click the button.

In short you assign an action (making new layer for example) to a button in Clover Paint, then use GMD to map a gesture to this button.
I do not understand
You can write step by step guide please
Thanks

I managed to set only for gesture menu button
I'd like to change the color of the text in all the clovers from white to black, you can?
Thanks

It's can't be done I think.
Is there a way to apply a colour layer (blend mode) as one would do in photoshop with this app? This only effects the hue and saturation and keeps the under lying luminosity. I like to paint in grey scale and then add colour as my final step. If this was possible id have no need for any other app and could do all my drawing in android only

The dev has told me they will be implementing it in their next update. Happy!!!

As much as I love XDA, I find it difficult to keep track of all the various art threads across all the various device forums. As such I decided to start my own Forum specifically for artists who use their Android tablet for drawing and painting.
Its still early days and work in progress, but please come and join me at http://androidartists.boards.net/
I look forward to your contributions, advice and input and will be looking for a few people to keep it ticking over.
Thanks,
Ben
No good free apps ? I'm pretty okay with that before I discovered this-> raviolipaint 2. But its not the subject. Indeed, cloverpaint is a strong art app ,fully customizable but im not happy with pressure sensivity for now. I ll try some customizations
