Being that we have Auto rotate for the web Browser via JF 1.41 and System Auto rotate via DroidSans ......... is it possible to make the Picture Album Auto rotate as well, because even thought the DroidSans Tweak tool allows some instance of Auto rotate it seems to be leaving out the Photo Album......... is there a way to make this Happen.
Yeh Mon ... One Love.... Irie ... In other words Thank You
I second this request. Every other app seems to handle the autorotation automatically, and the picture app could be one of the most useful ways to use autorotation, given that pictures are often taken in both landscape and portrait mode.
Thank you to any who can pull this off.
It would be nice to add the multi-touch zooming to the picture app too...
Lol yes that would be cool. Hope some skillful person sees this
and add the *patented* iphone swipe across to move to the next picture (instead of having to hit the buttons...)
i just use the photo album in astro it auto rotates by itslef

This is really what i want,and of course auto-rotate would be a nice add on as well.
WOw, with this much interest I wonder why this was never addressed before ...... and we dont have to do anything like the iPhone there is a lot more was to do Gestures, such as double tapping making a clockwise circle on the area of the pic you might want to zoom in one and a Counter Clock wise circle to Zoom out etc etc .....

Has anyone else seen the HP touchscreen computers? Or that microsoft tabletop one? And we swipe to move our Google maps. Giving Apple a patent on that seems really strange, especially since someone, I don't remember who, was demonstrating multi touch two or three years ago on a device which wasn't related to Apple in any way. (I wish I could remember where I saw that).
Anyway, I agree, I'd love to see multitouch and autorotate for our photos!

Apple patented it on mobile devices i think.
Another nice thing on the iPhone photo app is a double tap to automatically make it fill the screen. Heck, pinch zoom would be nice but barring that I'd just like the double-tap feature.
I add myself at the list of this requester... I love to see multitouch zoom and autorotate on the Photo gallery application!
I add this request and will be working on a basic photo application as well. I don't really care about Apple. These features are so easy to implement.
I think a lot people are confused on what apple has patented. Engadget has a good analysis here:

look up the gizmodo articles. they've had a bunch on apple patents and the palm pre recently.
the one i read about said that you only infringe on one of apple's patents if you had BOTH the swipe-to-zoom and the browser lock-to-x or y axis scrolling together.
right now the g1 has (oficially) the scrolling where if you only move it down it locks to the y axis and moves down only. same with left right. and if u start moving diagonal ur free to do whatever. the g1 doesnt infringe on THAT patent because it DOESNT also have the swipe-to-get to next picture.
I read one of those articles this morning. I wonder what will happen between Apple and Palm? I expect they will work it out between themselves, or it will be a mess.
Ill throw my hat in here too
I understand, though, that work here isnt paid for, so I understand if a dev decides NOT to work on it... I just hope one does
I have played around with some of the multitouch apps (browser, maps, image-gallery examples) and found them quite impressive. My question is, can the onscreen-keyboard be hacked to allow for multitoutch?
i know the keyboard is pretty useful but it would be better to have the multi touch features. The screen supports multutouch and it is a bit stupid that apple can copyright multitouch. alot of my friends mock the android cos it doesnt have mutitouch (stupid iphone snobs)
so, is it possible?
I'm sure it would be possible. There honestly should be multi-touch support for the virtual keyboard. Not to display 2 letters at a time obviously, but to just que the second letter to allow for faster typing rather than have it skip between 2 letters. The iphone does have multi-touch support on its VK for the same exact reason of faster typing.

so where are you seeing all of this stuff with the multi touch?
Yeah, I don't think multi-touch is available for Maps and Gallery. If I'm wrong could someone shoot me a link please?
Multi touch is only available in the browser. There were some demos you could install on your phone of the maps and gallery but they were just demos not the actual program.
As for the VK not sure why you would need it. Maybe type faster but other than that I see no need for it.
He's talking about the multitouch examples here: http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/get-multi-touch-support-on-your-t-mobile-g1-today/
I don't really see what all the hype is about multi-touch. The only reason I can see it being useful is for games, and maybe if a shift key was inserted in the VK. Other than that, I feel it just becomes more difficult. Sure, it's cool technology, but isn't it easier to zoom using your thumb, holding the phone with one hand, than having to use two fingers or two separate hands? I've been running JF builds for months which multi-touch, and barely use it at all.
Multi touch allows for faster typing. Especially if you're typing in landscape mode with your thumbs going at it. I've noticed it would skip letters for me on various occasions because of it not registering hits that are too close to each other.
Why wouldn't you just open the keyboard...
I don't get it
I agree about typing. I also think the iphone's way of zooming in/out on the map is easier, too. It is all preference, but I really want the multi-touch map. Having it as an option would satisfy the masses.
To be honest, after the novelty of having multitouch on the browser wore off I found myself using the "+" and "-" buttons on the screen anyway!

Personally, I hate those freaking on-screen zoom in/out buttons with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. They're always popping up in the way of links that are placed at the bottom of web pages and I constantly hit that stupid button in the bottom right of the screen, opening that useless panning box. IMHO on-screen menus should never be placed in front of content. Am I the only one that thinks that's completely retarded?
multitouch
frankly i like the circle zoom!! i thnk tht wud b more convinient then the multi touch unless ur in landscape mode for some reason or another but yes i wud really like multi touch vk!! i need to b able to type faster but i still use my hardware keyboard for fast typing!
i prefer using two fingers to zoom in and out. I feel that by using two fingers you see where you are zooming and dont have a finger in the way. As multitouch is enabled in the rom, using two fingers emulates a finger press in between them, which can get quite enoying if you type fast ir knock a key by accident, u get a random key in the middle.
I know its not essential but these little things give it a nicer feel.

It's a matter of personal preference. Is that not why we like open source so much? Some of us don't want to open keyboards every 4 seconds. Some of us have magic's sans hardware keyboards.
I for one welcome any improvements that I may or not use but in the end they are improvements.

Because, I text a LOT. Between work and twitter and friends... I'm texting all the time. sometimes it's just faster to start typing.. plus I'm sure it's better on the hinges to not keep snapping the thing open every minute.
Hi all,
a few people have asked me why I like Freenote+ and why I think it's better than S Memo, or other note taking apps.
I made a video to try and show the features that are the most useful for me.
I haven't shown all of the features of Freenote+, there are a lot of other useful features like the To Do list, shortcuts for commonly entered text (like your email address) and the paint function.
I've found similar features in other note taking apps, but Freenote seems to get in the way less for me and allow me to get notes down the quickest.
I hope you find it useful if you are looking for an alternative to S Memo.

Cheers,
Rich
That looks superb, exactly what I was looking for.
Silly question, but is Freenote+ the same as Freenote? (Thats the only one showing up on the Google Play store for me)
I think they've just added the + to the paid version.
This is the free version
This is the paid version
I don't think there is any difference in functionality, except for the nag screen on the free version. Once I had decided how much I liked it and how much I used it, it was worth paying the few bucks to get rid of the nag screen and to support the developer.
hi richlum,
thanks for the video.
to be honest, i didnt watched it till the end since i'm im quite aware of the functionalities.
but one thing i havent found so far, is how i increase the font size. i'm on ics stunner with 240. and i think the font is too small for me.
Do you have any solution?
Preferences> Editor> Handwritten
You can set the size of the handwriting there.
I have mine set at 50.

it doesn't support pressure sensitivity. and it's slow as hell. no use for me.
In Paint mode it is pressure sensitive. Press hard to get a think line, lightly to get a thing line.
But if your note taking involves a lot of drawing and artistic sketching (as opposed to just drawing some shapes and diagrams) there are a lot better drawing/sketching apps like Sketch Book Mobile and Infinite Painter.
But I don't do much drawing for my note taking.
And I'm not worried about the handwriting mode not being pressure sensitive.
Different people are going have different work flows. For me, Freenote is the quickest way I've found to get notes down without the interface getting in my way.
That's why we're lucky to have so much choice to be able to find what suits us best.
When i add it to my home screen as a widget, the words look blurry, what size did u set ur widget as and font scale? Thx!
My handwritten font size is 50.
I just inserted the largest widget and then resized it in ADW (I have mys screen setup to be a 10x10 grid).
Typed text looks clear than handwritten text on the widget for me, but it's still easily readable.

Hi ... I noticed a difference that adds to the beauty of this application :
If you use the big widget of it on the home screen , In freenote+ , you can toggle between pages right from the home screen .. while in the free version you can't ...
But in both versions , you can perform all other functions shown on the home screen "Except for editing" .
Here are some art applications that make use of the S-pen Pressure Sensitivity:
Sketchbook Pro
Infinite Painter
Papyrus Beta
FlipAClip
TVPaint Beta (external download)
Omnisketch
LayerPaint
Drawing Pad
Markers
Quill
Canvas Pro
Plouik
Una Paint (Graffiti)
LayerDraw
VoytPaint
DoodleDroid
Sketch 'Em (Samsung App Store)
CloverMemo (Not sure if S-Pen Capable)
Sketch Free (Not sure if S-Pen Capable)
There are more but I can't think of them at the moment. If you have any let me know and I will update the OP.

Great app! just added it to the OP.
markers is a good one also that seems to react to the S Pen pretty well..
Just Recived mine , and this is what i made, after i purchased sketchbook pro, btw with the new update, it looks unlike most reviews, that the pen is abit quicker. I might have a bad pen, due to the canvas not picking up the lightest pressure. But thats easily replaceable, everything else is great!:good:
It's a lil dumb drawing, but i wanted to try it out.

It does show that it has pressure sensitivity. Added to OP.
The TV Paint app looks really just like a port From the PC version. Which is really nice actually! The downside... if you aren't familiar with the software, you aren't going to have a good time..
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Yeah. It is very specific type of drawing program. For example (don't know if in this version) cutting something out makes a brush out of it immidiately.
Actually.. it isn't even meant for drawing stills I believe.. It's main target is animation. Seeing (as far as I looked) this being a full port, you can create reaallllyy awesome animation **** with this! Might give it a go
Oh wow... played around with the brushes... did a quick drawing for a nice screenie

Great list youve got there. I would just add Quill, its a great one as well

Added. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hmmm... sorry about the previous image failing..
Edit: did a really quick and rough animation test with tv paint..
I'm not really familiar yet with tv paint, but wanted to take a quick look at the export features..
The software looks like a port with some touch control related improvements.. shortcuts are still available in their classic pc form, which might actually be great if you would use a bluetooth keyboard to operate this program. Considering my and co-students animating experience, it's almost a MUST to be able to easily use many shortcuts, which makes getting such keyboard (almost) a must-buy to fully utilize this programs potential on any tab and get the best experience with it.
There's the possibility to export to Quicktime MOV, AVI, MP4, PNG/JPG/other image sequences.. Unfortunately only container options with 3 possible bit-rate settings (namely: .2, 1 and 5 Mbps) and no real codec settings. (eg. MPEG-2, H.264, etc...) (Something I really miss!!!!! )
Framerate is ofcourse controlled by project settings, but they have the ability to export to various custom settings as can be seen in the screenshot.
Video test: http://youtu.be/neZDRf8bvv8
I might review this program thoroughly in this thread in the near near future when I have some more time on my hands...
And lastly;
TV Paint is one of THE drawing apps currently on the play store for serious content creators..... DISCUSS!

(never mind, I thought maybe Windows version has more options but from what I remember it was EXACTLY the same)
Markers is awesome for simple sketching! the pressure detection is very good on the ink style brushes, too bad you can only pick from preselected colours. still, nice for making simple value sketches
others with pressure detection:
free:
canvas lite: (can paint quite nice sketch style paintings with the 2nd brush) kind of fun somehow. has long press = eyedropper function. in the pro version you can make your own brushes from 50px canvases, which works surprisingly well! it is very crashy though.
plouik: (stroke dies extremely quickly)
una paint: has pressure... i guess if you want to draw oekaki style stuff, sure
layerdraw: pressure makes the ENTIRE stroke fat uniformly. I have no idea what anyone would use this for
voytpaintfree: nice pressure! you can get very smooth strokes on it as long as you don't make very fast curves, but it's pretty limited (couldn't find an opacity setting). haven't tried the pro vers.
paid:
doodledroid: for 99 cents, it's okay. the pressure curve is pretty bad, width doesn't start at zero so you're limited to making somewhat chunky ink strokes. but you can make some painterly type sketches.
drawing pad: i regret this purchase, it's like a child's crayon. all of the tools.
stuff that is really useless or didn't work for me:
HTC Flyer Canvas and scribble
Paintbox for tablets (drawing a curve is so bad it draws a square when you try to draw a circle) pressure what pressure?
scribble: claimed to have pressure sens, didn't even get to draw anything before it crashed my note once, then crashed again after reboot. deleted!
crayondoodle: just don't bother.
other useful stuff:
overskreen - floating browser that uses your default 'internet' browser to make a popup window. resizes perfectly, great for popping up reference images over your painting app. there was a free popup browser app but I didn't think it worked very well in comparison.

hey, no worries! Thanks for compiling the list, I'm hoping people will find something that works for them, buy it and support more development for android. The Note has so much potential... and I'm trying not to rely too much on the beta of TV paint, arg
It's a real shame most people's first experience will be with PS touch, because it really makes the Note look like crap.

Thats was my first experience and my gf's too. She said... well i don't know about this purchase.. so when it finally arrived home, i downloaded all the other apps, i wanted to try out, and well i felt in love . I had high hopes for PS touch but... nope lol.
Hello, first of all, I want to apologize because I didn't know where to post this.
Here is my idea:
A simple launcher (the design doesn't matter for the moment) with an innovative function (I haven't seen it in any place), the app drawer can be scrolled up and down using the gravity sensor (I don't know if this is the exact hardware which it will use), for example, If I tilt the phone forwards, the apps will scroll down (like falling) and If I tilt the phone backwards, the apps will scroll up.
I'm looking for someone interested in my idea who wants to take this as a hobby, the point is that I don't know anything about development, but I can use very well graphic design tools such as Illustrator and Photoshop. We can work together.
Sorry for my very bad english.
Greetings and again, sorry for posting this here.
