[App] Quill - handwritten notes (ICS only)

Handwriting note-taking app for Android
I just added support for the Galaxy Note pen to Quill, so you can write without having to worry about your hand touching the screen. I have tested it with Chainfire's ICS repack and !TeamRocketRom v1.5. If you decide to give it a try and it doesn't work on your ROM please let me know!
Quill requires ICS or Honeycomb, so if you haven't upgraded your Galaxy Note from Gingerbread it will not work!
A key design goal is quick response to pen strokes and 100% vector graphics. Developed on a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet.
Features
Active pen (digitizer) support on ThinkPad Tablet, HTC Jetstream, HTC Flyer, and Galaxy Note.
Very fast response to pen strokes.
"Fountain pen" mode supports pen pressure data, more pressure = thicker line.
Pinch-to-zoom.
Double-finger tap to zoom.
Two-finger move gesture.
Pen strokes are vector art, zoom does not pixelate your writing.
"Pen only" mode (optional) disables touch input while writing.
Android 3.x hardware accelerated graphics.
Open source (GPL), so your notes are not stuck in an opaque file format.
PDF export (save to SD card, Evernote, Share).
PNG (raster image) export.
Can backup/restore your data.
Ruled/Quad background paper
Tagging for pages so you can group them together.
Switch between multiple notebooks.
Undo/redo.
The n-trig active pen has been tested on the ThinkPad Tablet, HTC Jetstream, and the HTC Flyer (Honeycomb). The Samsung S-pen has been tested on the Galaxy Note. The basic functionality should work on any Android tablet, but distinguishing pen from finger data and pressure sensitivity might not work on others. Please let me know your results if you try it on another tablet. See also the supported devices wiki.
You can also get the app for free (as in free speech) at http://code.google.com/p/android-quill. Also available on the Android Market.

ICS 4.0 override
Hi! I couldn't get the ICS 4.0 stylus detection override to work on galaxy note (chainfire ICS repack). Without it all touch events write on the screen
Anywa, just a heads up. I'm sure it'll get fixed. Great app!!

Me neither - Samsung doesn't set SOURCE_STYLUS on pen events. This is a major bug imho, and hopefully it'll be fixed in the release. But Quill v9.3 adds special support for the Galaxy Note so you don't have to use the ICS stylus detection

Thanks for the offer of your app Quill. I tried to d/l from your website, both directly to Note and d/l to PC, then transfer to Note's ext. sd card.
In both cases, when trying to install, I got an error that said Unable to Parse Package. I don't know what that means, but it won't install. My Note is rooted and running franco.kernel v9.
Thanks.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, Quill requires Android v3+ (Ice Cream Sandwich on Honeycomb). I assume you are still on Gingerbread, right? I've edited the first post to avoid confusion.

Thanks mate. Its work great with my Galaxy Note.
btw, im running Midnote ICS 2.0.
Its good apps.
Thanks ya

Sorry, my ignorance! I saw you had tested on ICS and took that to mean it works on ICS in addition to Stock GB. I look forward to trying this when Samsung releases ICS update for the Note.
Thank you!

Many thanks for your job: great on midnote 2.0.:thumbup:

Nice App, so far best App for Handwriting I tried.
Unfortunaly Force Close when I try to open Settings ...
Samsung Note, iMilka V6.

GREAT accuracy! it's even better than S-note (which is odd)... add a few backgrounds (different pieces of paper) and it's awesome!
Thanks a LOT!

i bought from market immediately to show support.
However, single tap zoom didn't work very well in midnote 2.0.
I m sure it will get fixed. great app tho.
anyway, anyone know how to customize the layout.
the icon seems moving arround

Touch-rejection doesn't quite work for me. Touch events don't draw, but they do interupt the pen and stop the pen being able to draw... which I guess (hope) is unintended functionality.
ROM as of this post: ICS Stunner Beta 3.

Gret app! Thanks guy!
The app is very smooth and fast. But... not enough easy to use.
Do you plan a desktop widget for this app? such as S memo?

Me too. The Problem with FC in Settings I mentioned earlier was a general Fault in iMilka V6, so it's not Quill-specific.

2 bugs
There are a couple of weird bugs in the latest version (chainfire ICS repack):
1) The "draw box" box is all the time in the middle of the screen in portrait mode and doesn't go away
2) The boxes can't be erased (at least I couldn't erase them)
anyway, I'm glad to see it's getting updated this fast!

Awesome work! Loving it, perfect for not samsung based roms.

Anone make a video of the app on ICS? i want to compare it to the spen apps
thank you

quick video...no judging

I'm having this same issue, running imilka's AOSP rom. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Thats not right, of course. It seems that the subsequent touch isn't reported as multitouch (MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER) but starts a new single-touch (MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN). This is bad!
It seems that all AOSP-based ICS builds have this issue. Or can anybody report success with an AOSP-based ICS build? My guess would be that Samsung added some workaround in their ICS build for Wacom driver bugs. Fun fact: the leaked Samsung rom doesn't properly report SOURCE_STYLUS as per the ICS stylus api.

Cyanogen: Respond to pen input only

Sorry if this has been answered. I couldn't find the answer anywhere...
There are some situations where I would like my tablet to respond to pen input only. A good example of this would be the feature in Quill, although obviously without the added hand gestures.
I would like this to be set globally. I thought it might already be in the settings panel, but I can not find it.
I am running a recent nightly build of Cyanogen 10.1, so stock features may not apply. Are there any rooted apps that could do this out there? Other solutions?

Too many Homepages! How can you delete em?

For some odd reason, all of the sudden I have way too many home screens. 3 works for me but 12? How can I get rid of some? Note 10.1 n8013

do you have an custom launcher installed or are you on the stock TouchWiz launcher?
Any custom ROM installed?

12 - Didn't think that you could get that many.
pinch the page on the screen and it should open up a way to delete them.

As 'Bulbous' said you pinch inwards to open up the full view of all screens, then hold down on the screen you want to delete until it gets larger, then drag to delete in the top right.

Yup,it worked in a pinch lol, thanks a bunch. Nope,not rooted or anything,just stock(till i get board with the jellybean update) And maybe it wasnt 12, but it was way to many,they dont give ya enough memory on a note 10.1 to hold enough apps to even use that many pages...tsk tsk samsung

for the galaxy s2 there is a multi window mod. Maybe we coud install it also on our tab 7+. because it has the same exynos chip.
i could´t test this because for my wifi only tab 7+ is no jelly bean yet.
but if it does not fuction maybe a dev can port it also to the tab 7+.

+1 for this. Although apps like Overskreen, Floating Browser and etc exists, it would be great if it was integrated to one app(MultiWindow).

Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives?
Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives that people/Devs are preferring?
I like the Multiwindow function on my S3, and would really like to see it or something similar on a Galaxy 7" tablet. I want to use it to run a GPS routing App & a Music App at the same time, while running WaveControl in the background. It works great on the S3, but I feel that ~half the screen is too small to be used well for GPS. So, I have had a GT+ for a while, but sold it until I can find which of the two (GT+ or GT2) will get MultiWindow or similar.
I have seen the Overskreen, but that's Browser only. I've seen the floating Apps, but that seems to be specific Apps, and part of the main App gets covered up by the floater. So neither seems to be able to replace Multiwindow, unless there's a way to make any App a floating App.
Any thoughts/ideas?

All your options are really not going to happen, but one day, in the future, after we get full stable releases for more models of the 7+, someone will port over the multi-window stuff that is form the Note 2 / S4 that is in custom ROMs for the S3. Lets get stable stock ROMs for all the G+ models first
.Android currently is not built to handle floating window, its a real hack just to get a browser to float.

Alright, sounds good. I'm hoping that we do get multi-window when the stock ROMs are fully fleshed out. I was also trying to gauge what ROM developers were going for, whether Multi-Window or Floating Apps were more relevant to them. Supposedly there was one ROM that had Beta multi-window, but the developer seems to have dropped that in favor of the floating option. I just don't see it as a viable replacement, at least not yet.

Apart from my 7 plus tab I own a Samsung galaxy grand that has 1 gb of ram and a 1.2 ghz double core processor (like our 7 plus), and it has multi windows option out of the box (jb 4.1.2), which means that it's doable for our tab. It's a matter of editing the main flashbar.apk, and some framework files.
Easier said than done, yes, I know...:silly:

I just pulled the main flashbar apk and the multi windows related frameworks and permissions from my galaxy grand and pushed them into my tab (p6210 running pa 3.15).
I rebooted, the apk installed, and I saw on my task manager that it was on, good sign.
But (there is always a but) I had nothing to trigger it. On the galaxy grand there is a multi windows icon next to the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc icons on the status bar, but obviously no such icon on the tab.
To get one such icon one needs to edit some jars in the framework folder, and maybe the system ui apk as well. I could do it if I had plenty of time (because I'm still relatively new to those things) but unfortunately I don't have much time in the moment.
If anyone wants to do it just tell me and I'll upload the files here...

Thanks for trying! By the way, the ported multiview on my Sprint Galaxy SIII is activated by holding down the back button. Could you try that? I don't know if it will work since on the S3 it is basically a hardware button, but just in case.

I tried, without much hope because I'm on pa 3.15 and as you may know the multi windows app works only with the TW framework (pa doesn't use TW ui). And guess what, it didn't work. I tried as well to trigger the app with smart taskbar, multi windows manager and a couple of other apps but nope, no fun...
I had a closer look at my galaxy grand and in some drawable folders I found the multi windows icons and triggers. One would need to add these files to the G plus systemui.apk and framework.apk, and add/remove some lines to some jars and stuff.
It's doable and I probably could do it, but I won't, for the sole reason that I own a p6210 and that jb hasn't been released for that model yet, sorry...
If you know how to decompile/recompile then try this, it works on the S2 and it may work on the G plus:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024227
But don't forget to do a nandroid back up before, in case something gets messed up...

Maybe this is working on our tab

Its not a full rom just a flashable mod but u do have to be on a DEODEXED version...it is completely safe just makes it easier to change theme & mod but as always please read the instructions carefully and be sure to backup your device before flashing. Since I'm assuming u own a P6200 then u will need the original MC3 firmware as well as chrisrotolo's deodexed MC3 zip installed before u flash the multi window mod. Yes, tethering works & the phone function does too BUT u may have to download another dialer from the play store(i'm using ex dialer & contacts) if the samsung phone app wont open

do the Note 10.1 ROMs allow full spen functionality?

Hi
I'm interested in trying out an Android 4.3 (or later) ROM for the Note 10.1, but I wonder does installing a ROM disable the spen or limit its functionality in any way? I wasn't sure where I can find this information.
Thank you

Shouldn't but the Samsung apps like spen and s health won't be included as these would be aokp or aosp roms.... Samsung hasn't released 4.3 on the note 10.1 yet so you loose these Samsung specific apps, you should be able to find replacements for most.

Hi, I don't use the Samsung Apps, the main thing I need is the spen to work and for it to have its pressure sensitivity. Is the multi-window feature though a Samsung thing that would not be available (or is that a standard Android feature or is there something I can do to enable it if not?)
