Thanks man
u saved me hell of a time

Brilliant idea to start such an collection. Thanks to all contributors.
Off topic: Does anyone know of good tutorials in german? My son is 8 years old but already into programming lego mindstorms robots (with brixcc). He wants to dive into android programming. I don't know if he will quit at an early stage but at least I want to let him try.

German. I Havent found any. But i will keep searching.
Other option is to use Google Translate and check it in German, but i dont think it will be that good.

Made a Thread on Android Software Development Forum. So that others can also see this..
Thanks for your Encouragement.

[APP][2.1+] Notes (Google keep alternative) (With Export/Import)

Hello everyone!
My name is Hootan and I work on XDA in my free time.
I've ported MIUI Notes to the other Android versions as a new project and changed it in the way I like.
It supports Android 2.1+ (SDK 7)
I hope you enjoy it.
Credits
The credits belong to @HootanParsa and MIUI company.
I've 'Ported' "MIUI Notes" means that I decompiled the app and extracted all useful resources, then I created a new project with a new package name with my prefix "com.android.minotes" and tried to remake all classes and create all the objects which couldn't work on the other ROMs (2.1+ MIUI and non MIUI ROMs). I also used some methods from MIUI open source project.
I estimate this project took about 230 hours to make.
Sharing:
All of the developers have free license to add this app in their custom ROM as default.
All of themers have full permission to modify this app and change the theme as they want.
You can also modify this app for translating strings in your language.

Be sure I can fix it, but you should just tell me what is the error?
Thanks for your post

I can't open it. Afer clicking on the app there comes a white screnn and then the screen that it can't open.
I installed mifile explorer and saw it is also from you.
Do you thing it is possible to get the miui alarm app too?

Ok, thanks
I guess it is possible, but I'm busy now.
I just come to XDA for vacation and I'm working on my own explorer too.
maybe later
Thanks again

It would be great if you could do the alarm.
I was already looking forward for the new explorer, now this for Gingerbread... and possibly for the alarm.

Doesn't work on sense 4 ics

There is a very very useful website that has litteraly everything you need. It's called Google.com.
Just search what you need.
But on a serious note, don't create an account just to ask someone to tell you where to find a tutorial about something.

If you lobe custom rom.its great but therw is no harm in having a stock rom customises to look like kitkat. You can go to syatem folder and change apps accourding to your needs. Can change launcher ,dialer,contacts,camera,gallery,lockscreen,theme and much more
Sent from my SM-G355H using XDA Free mobile app

There are many other alternatives to search for. You can also customize ur rom other ways. Many different oprions
