Basically SudoTape lets you mark up images on your device, images either saved on the device externally or using the built-in camera intent.
I found that being a code monkey most my life my writing with those ancient things calls pens and pencils sucks. Recently I found I needed to take some notes for measurements of things in my house and found I couldn't read my own damn writing so I thought, "Why can't I just take a picture of what I want to measure and just draw on the picture"?
This is the premise for SudoTape.
Here is the market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.pixelsystems.sudotape
Here is a link to the documentation: http://pixelsystems.net/?page_id=66
The app is free so it costs nothing to try it out. Your device doesn't need a camera in order to use the app even if the market suggests a camera is required.

Just curious what became of this app? I'm looking for an app for photo markup and this might have fitted the bill. Not available in the Canada play store though.

I haven't had time to update the app, it was frozen in time on Android 2.3 or something ancient. The entire camera functionality changed since I wrote the app so much of the camera functionality didn't work, or didn't work well enough to keep it in the store. I was getting tons of negative reviews so I just pulled it.
Not sure if I'll ever get back to updating it.. last I looked there were a bunch of similar apps out there so maybe you'll find something that will do what you want.

Funny thing is, it's harder than you'd think to find a really good photo markup app.
* SnapMarkup comes close but lacks text boxes
* Nimbus seems a bit overboard....

Too bad, I liked how the app worked.. Since I can't read my bloody writing anymore I used it a lot when doing some changes around the house. Sadly the SDK around the camera was in TERRIBLE shape, Android 2.X was a mess at the time with each manufacturer doing their own thin in regards to retrieving images from the camera. It made it a nightmare to try and debug and hack through all the different odd behaviors.
Chances are though, even if I managed to rewrite the camera portion to use the new SDK the whole UI is also frozen in time with the notion of having a menu button (which almost no phones do now).
Maybe some day, but not anytime soon. Thanks for the interest though.

[Q] Mask your OS with Social Networking

So this is pretty random and I've done some searches and can't seem to find anything, probably because no one would care enough to do something like this besides me.
The problem: I'm a MS consultant and am tired of hearing **** from my WP7 friends and colleagues.
The ask: Is there a way to mask/disguise/FAKE the OS I have when working with social networking sites? Primarily Facebook for now, you know the "sent via Windows Phone" or "posted by HTC Sense", "Android", etc.
Anyone know how to change/hack/tweek that without changing phones/OS's entirely?

You could just post from their mobile sites and it will say posted from _____ mobile. You can also post from the main site from your phone and it's like posting from your computer.
I know this isn't really what you asked at all, but it will help with your issue.

Caring about being made fun of by windows fanboys for using a linux based phone to me is like caring about being made fun of because you dont huff fumes from an aerosol can. Always annoys me that some group or person can be so blinded to see that there is more than one alternative that works for people and it doesnt always come from the same source
Some applications let you remove that signature or set what it says. However, the easiest solution would be not to use the application and use the browser in the site. If they dont let you set it, then you have to modify the apk or modify the build.conf file in /system (which may or may not mess things up for other applications that depend on that). It's most likely picking up the make/model from that.
If it bothers you that much, you probably need new friends and ignore the coworkers you have to see regardless. Your current ones suck and have drank the koolaid.
Your problem also reminded me of the following penny arcade comic (ignore the phones in question, just the general overtone of the comic is what is related):

I guess I should have clarified. I'd love nothing more than my posts to start saying Windows Phone and seeing their false appreciation and excitement only to see me still rocking my TB with CM once I actually see them.
Was just a question, thought maybe someone else might have had some hack to alter it somehow.

Ah okay, you just want to one up them in a slightly smartass way . Generally as mentioned, it's just a setting in apps you can change, at least for things like email clients, but you probably looked in whatever you are using already.

Yeah, primarily it's the Android Facebook app for statuses and photo uploading. I wouldn't have the slightest idea on where to start in tweeking anything in it. Naturally I think the settings in the app wouldn't allow me to change that.

[Q] New to One s And Android....pls help!

Hello I just got a One S yesterday. my old phone is a HTC HD2
I found the PDF of the users guide for this phone but as I am reading, I dont see the options they are talking about on my phone.
for example.....if you hit the apps button from the home screen you are "supposed" to be able to find something called "show Me" and "transfer" but I dont find this stuff.
my main issue right now is trying to find a way to transfer my contacts from my old phone to the new one. and no my contacts are not linked to google or anything else.
thanks for any help or comments,
Nicole

thats the odd thing, from what I see neither of those exist on the phone. not on the app list and not when I search for them.

Should be ;/ check your boatloader are u unlocked ? Where did u get It from? When u set up phone the last step is transfer why didn't u do It?

I got the phone from a T-Mobile store. The guy there started up the phone to make sure it was working. I think I am stuck manually entering everyone. Now I am also stuck with all my facebook people synced on here by accident. Searched the forum and all ways to fix this don't seem to work either. Darn it. Lol. Nothing seems to be going good for me

Dowload ruu and flash it will put u exactly how it should be

The How To seems to download pdf instructions (didn't try), Transfer is a phone to phone sync.
Bell (Canada) doesn't seem to **** around with phones too much, the only thing I can tell they install is the "Mobile TV" app (maybe sympatico.ca too, I don't have a sympatico e-mail with them), which is included in my monthly plan (10 hours a month, does not add to data). HBO is 5$. It has a couple dozen channels for free (could watch the stanley cup live on it).
I can't remember anything pre-installed on my Legend when I got it either.

That's odd. So those exist on some of the one.s phones but not all. I definitely don't see them on mine

I guess T-Mo removed those apps and didn't remove it from the user's guide.

I still have transfer on LeeDroid custom rom
Maybe someone smarter than me can get OP the app
But, there are some transfer apps in Play Store
I did see a setting somewhere when I set up accounts not to sync Facebook etc--forget where--

SeriesGuide - TV Show Tracker

I watch a lot of TV shows and it is hard to keep up with new episodes. I also had trouble to trying to figure out which shows I have already watched.... thus I found the perfect app.
SeriesGuide informs you when a new episode comes out and you can mark episodes that you have already watched.
Learn more about the app here:
TV show tracker for Android

I agree. I love this app, except for the fact that its widget really looked out of place on my home screen.
I have added a few settings to customize it; if anyone is interested I will push these changes back to GitHub and ask the author if we wishes to integrate them.

Regarding the widget, I'm also not too fond of it the way it looks right now. I do like the transparency, but the 'next' text in capitol letters is way to big. If that would be in normal text, it would be better. And the show covers could be doubled in size (thus increasing the line hight for each episode), so it'll be a little more easy on the eyes when watching the list.
Besides that, I very much love this app!
On a second note, perhaps a fourth theme could be implemented: 'rom default'. Install a recent version of Chainfire's SuperSU app and you'll see what I mean It matches the theme based on the used framework. So if you're on a Sense ROM, the app will be Sense themed, and if you're on TouchWizz, it will be TW themed.

Nice app! Thank you, really helping!

Are there someone else that is having problem to add show and search after show? This must have happen lately for me, cause i could do it a couple of days ago.

Nexus 5 Phone Search

I have noticed that the Phone Search options under the Google Now settings are severely limited on the Nexus 5. On my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 I can set IMDB and Wikipedia among others to be searchable from the search box. All the options are gone now. You can't even launch maps or music. What's going on?

I'm seeing this problem on my Nexus 5 too. Really surprised to see Google release a device/software upgrade with such a core functionality missing.

I'm having a hard time believing that more people aren't talking about this issue.

Having the same issue, could barely find any threads talking about this problem. Have you guys managed to find a fix? I have the exact same settings under phone search as you, just contacts, app names, and Play books and movies.

I have been looking all over and haven't found any info.

I'm surprised by this as well! Maybe we just have to wait for the various apps to update for 4.4 to get recognized in the list?
On a related note, and I'm sure of the answer already, but, are you guys able to use the "OK, Google... Play [insert music]" command? It obviously doesn't here and I'm a bit disappointed... It didn't work on my old phone for a reason I wasn't able to figure out (perhaps a Nexus S issue or me being in Canada) and I was hoping it would work now...
Oh well...

There's a new API for this sort of functionality in Kit Kat. That's probably why. Google will be allowing developers to integrate their apps more seamlessly with Google Now. Rumor is an update to Google Search will be coming this week that will have the first bits of this functionality (limited only to certain developers who were given early access), but will expand soon after.
Basically, before, the integration was little more than speech-to-text for those apps, a very scrappy integration. This will be far more integrated into Google Now, with apps allowed to show cards and such.
Edit: Note that playing music is still possible however. Make sure you have the music apps you want installed first. Then, ask google to play something. A card will pop up, and it'll initially say "Google Play Store", but there's an option in the lower left corner to change that to any music app available. Basically it works the same as before, but instead of a pop-up window asking you, it's now an option below the card.

Thanks, that's good to know it's simply an API issue and we just need to wait for developers to update their app.
As for using the command "Play" or "Listen to" and "What's this song?" in Google Now, it appears it is still being blocked for us Canadians for now. I assume this restriction will be lifted once Google Play Music service is introduced in Canada. I know "Play" and "Listen to" used to work in the earlier builds but became blocked with one of the Google Now updates during the summer.

Just update to Google search 3.1.8, but the problem is stille, can't search music, book, or any other third party apps.
