Safe N Secure Notes is a simple, no fuss application which allows you to store your notes easily and securely. Ideal for storing sensitive information like email addresses/passwords, ATM Pins, Bank Account Numbers etc.
This is not just any other notes taking application, this one works smartly. Once installed and initial setup is done, the application hides itself(There is no icon to launch the application). The only way to launch the application is by entering a special pattern on your device's dialer.
Notes are stored in encrypted format using industry standard AES Encryption.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Once the application is installed, click on the application icon to launch setup.
2. Enter your secret passcode which will be used to open the application and your email address. Your passcode will be emailed to you for future reference.
3. Restart your device. The application icon will not be visible anymore.
4. Open dialer and press **[your_secret_code] to launch the application.
5. Now you can add notes using "Add Note" button. Any existing note can be deleted by long pressing on that note's row which will bring up "Delete Note".
CHANGELOG
--------------------
Version 2.0 (SafeNSecureNotes_V3.apk)
1. Included Wifi Only Devices Support! The application will appear as a normal calculator. Entering the secret code and pressing any of the non numeric buttons will launch the notes interface.
2. - Support additional pattern for launching application: **[secret_code]# <---Using this pattern will not trigger a call when incorrect secret code is entered by mistake.
3. Changed Ad placement to improve user experience. <b>Added menu option to purchase Ad Free version. </b>
Version 1.1 (SafeNSecureNotes_V2.apk)
1. Moved "Save Note" button to top on Add Note/Edit Note screens.
2. Fixed Security Flaw wherein user could launch the application without entering secret code from Application History (in case the application was started earlier). Please note, DO NOT use "Home" button to exit out of the application. If you do this, the secret code will be visible in "Dialer" App History.
3. Added Backup/Restore to/from SD Card. WARNING: Restoring data on an existing installation will completely overwrite the database.

Nice app will give it a try!
I really really like the way the app opens through the dialer, well done buddy! will definitely need this app.
Great app!
Suggestions/bug(?)reports.
It would be nice NOT to see the program in the recent apps list.
As I see, the program puts another blank "Phone" screen to the recent app list, and if I tap on this, the program starts without the code.

I am assuming by settings you are referring to changing the secret code/pin. This is not supported in the current version, but I will take note of this and implement. It should be done in a day or two.

This problem should be fixed with the latest version (v2) that I have posted. The application itself does not appear in recent app list anymore. Please note, you need to *always* exit the application using back button. If the application is exited using *Home* button, the code will remain visible on the dialer in the app history. But if you exit the application using back button, the dialer will appear as blank in the history.
Please let me know if you still face any issues.

Hey all, I'm new here but was looking for an outlet to announce applications. I have just finished up my first Android App and was hoping for some reviews/comments/suggestions. Criticism Encouraged!
Text Messenger is a simple away message application for your Android phone. There is a full version for $1, and a DEMO version (where you cannot change the default away message) for FREE.
Give it a try, then give it a Buy!
EDIT: updated barcodes to go directly to Android Market, rather than through AndroidZoom.
Just checking in to see if anyone had a chance to review my app, and had any comments/suggestions/criticism?
To make it easier to find I will post some barcodes (DEMO and Full Version) for the apps.
Thanks.

Don't mean to be mean, but don't people take a non-reply to mean that the recipient is away/busy ?
I can't test this because I use gvoice for texting.

That's alright, I know this isn't for everyone. With the current state of texting, especially with the younger crowd, I have seen many instances where people say "What the [email protected]#$ why aren't they texting me back!!!"...I guess this is more for those types.
Also, I find myself in situations where I really should not be reading/responding to text messages but I end up giving in knowing there is a message. With Text Messenger you can set your Away Message and automatically put your phone on silent at the same time. So when I am driving, in class, or anywhere else where I shouldn't be answering a text I do not feel the urge.
Pretty cool - few suggestions
Hey, just checked out the demo version of the app. I'm a brand new Android user. Coming from windows mobile I needed an app like this. Just a few thoughts as to what would make this an even better app. These are just suggestions and ways that I would like to be able to use the app.
1. Allow for profiles to be set up. Such as during certain user defined times, the app automatically sets an away status.
2. Allow for away statuses to be enable for specific contacts, like a black/white list.
3. Set up a quick reply list so I can select from some predefined messages such as "Call if it's an emergency", "In class"...
Keep us updated...
Nice app by the way

Thanks for trying out my app.
I plan on adding a customizable list of away messages, so you can easily set "In class" etc...look for that update soon.
The Black List & Scheduled away messages are a great idea, although the initial decision creating the app was to make it as simple and quick as possible. Adding these features would be great, but also add more complication. I suppose there is no harm in adding these as optional features though, since if people wanted a quick easy solution they could simply not enable them.
I will keep you updated on the changes coming, look for your #1 to definitely be added with the possibility of #2 and/or #3.
Thanks again for trying my app, and leaving feedback!
P.S. Anyone else that has tried the app it would be great if you could rate it on the Android Market. Only a few people have rated it/commented, and I know many more have given it a try.
I like the demo app. I would like to try the full version but don't see it on the Market. I tried the posted barcode and it never loads the link in the browser.
Thanks,
I downloaded the donation version to be able to say what I want. What an awesome application. I can easily say one of my top 5 most useful. I set it when I'm driving, in a meeting, flying (in the air force) or when I'm busy with a million other things. Here is my list of features I would love to see, forgive me for any duplicates from any other post;
1. A widget! One that when pressed will turn on the auto reply AND have a drop down list of saves/pre-made responses.
2. Option to turn off notification bar icon, I hate that big green booger on my minimalist bar.
3. Option to save messages for future use through a quicky list
4. Option to have messages be contact specific (I would love to see this and would justify a higher price as it would make this an essential app, on par with SetCPU!)
5. Lastly, some notification of auto reply being sent, I'm currently not seeing one on my phone.

I'm using Android 1.6 on my HTC Tattoo. I scanned the barcode but I think i cant find it because my resolution (240 x 320) might not be supported.
I would like to buy the app, but i live in Belgium, and payd apps can not be bought from the market.
I just tried to install the app using the apk-file, but it doesn't works. Can u make a version for 1.6 plz, i really like it.

Thanks for giving it a try. If you press the menu button when in the DEMO Version there should be an option for "More Apps" this will bring you to the Android Market where you can see the FULL Version. I also attached a different barcode, this should link directly to the market rather than through AndroidZoom...let me know if that works for you? Otherwise just search "Robott Creations" or "Text Messenger" on the Android Market.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have heard more than once the need for customizable preset messages & option to turn off the notification "booger". I look to add those features this week. The rest of the suggestions I also agree with, and will hopefully work them in. I was looking to keep the app extremely simple, but the feedback so far has made it sound like the app is "too simple".

I am not too familiar with the Belgium Android Community, but it sounded like you said you are unable to buy any apps? If so, I do not know what I can do about that. But I will look into comparability for Android 1.6.
Thanks everyone, the feedback I have been getting has been excellent. I look to add some of these features shortly and supply you with exactly what you are looking for.
Version 1.5 Released
I read all the suggestions, and am trying to get them in ASAP.
Here are some features to hold you over until the next Update.
New to Version 1.5
------------------
* Custom preset Away Messages
- Easy interaction via Context Menu
* Enable/Disable Notifications
* Text Forwarding (Currently only supports other Phone #s)
* Minor Cosmetic Fixes
More Updates Coming Soon!
I hope the Android 1.6 support will be there soon. Such a lovely app ...

Both depend on the support of the project. Currently I have been hearing good feedback, but the number of downloads does not assure me it would be worth the time of creating an Android 1.6 version and/or porting to Windows Mobile.
I am currently working towards Version 2.0, and after that I will investigate porting and 1.6 support.
Thank you both for showing interest.
Any way of choosing which Apps this works with, as just had it in a weird loop on my facebook status. As I have fb notifacations sent to my mobile via texts, its put all away messages on my facebook, then as I had a new post, got sent a new text, which then triggered another away message...... Turned it off for now, but really good and usefull app, if you can have it only work with chosen apps. Like Handcent only.
Hi!
I've just published my first app on the market - it's called Epistle.
It's a very simple text editor that can sync your notes with Dropbox; I will add folder support and note search soon.
Since all I've got is an old HTC G2 I'd appreciate if someone could help me test it (especially the synchronization mechanism).
You can find the app here: kooklab.com
Thanks.
Looks nice. Love the interface. However I am getting an FC whenever i hit "Sync". Account linked, I turned off all the automatic syncs, have reinstalled. I don't see any activity in my dropbox. Have attached logcat.
The only thing I would change is the note title field. I appreciate how other notepads use a bit of the first note line as the title.
You need to make a donate version, btw. I have been jonesing for a PlainText-alike and would happily pay for one!
Hi!

There is a stupid bug that prevents the app to perform the very first synchronization.

Hi! I like your app, but there is one thing I don't like. You should be able to give an option name to the folder it creates in dropbox. I'd rather have a folder named "Notes" than "Epistle", no offense to your namechoice.
This app is awesome!
I've now a Todo-list on my desktop and phone, synced!
Good work. I really like the idea.
Some comments:
1. I agree regarding the aforementioned opinion on the titling of notes. If no personal title is entered, the note should display the first line of the note in the overview list.
2. When you create a new note, the title is highlited and can be entered. However, as soon as the orientation of the phone changes (e.g. to landscape) the cursor is in the beginning of the text field and the title of the note cannot be changed. The same goes for the use of a hardware keyboard. When I flip my Desire Z open to use the hardware keyboard the same thing happens.
3. Deleting notes: The app should refresh by taking the latest changes into account. If I remove the note on the phone it should disappear from Dropbox. If I delete a file from dropbox, it should delete the note in the app.
4. Discarding notes. It should be possible to get back to the list view without saving a note. It's a good idea to have the note saved automatically when you press back. But you might provide a "discard note" option when you press "menu" while editing a note.
Regards,
Becksman

In landscape you should still be able to hide the virtual keyboard (with the back button) and double tap on the title to edit it.

If you delete a file from the phone everything works as expected; the other way around at the moment cannot be implemented - with the current API there is no way to tell if a file has been deleted from dropbox.

You're right. I tried that earlier and somehow it didn't work. I'd still prefer the cursor not to jump out of the title if I switch the orientation or open the hardware keyboard.

For me it's not working either way round. I "removed" 2 notes in the App and in my Dropbox they still appear. When I start the App they however don't show up anymore. I tried hitting "Sync", which resulted in a FC. However I just tried it again - created a new note, synced it and removed it again. This time it somehow worked.

I'll soon push another update on the market that should resolve most of the sync problems.
Would sorting by modification time or search be possible? The UI is perfection, but with many, many notes i get confused while navigating
Please ignore gregory's comment on the market. Unix line endings ftw.
Hey, i downloaded this yesterday! I'll provide any help needed!
By the way, love the latin root for the name.
It looks really pretty. The only reason I'm not going to give it a try is that Simplenote sync is currently a requirement for me.
But your attention to aesthetics pleases me
Thanks, thanks a lot for this app. Working great on my HERO, and finally I can sync my notes between my phone and my Linux desktop!
I don't mind the folder name or even the reverse sync issue, but I've got a few ideas on improving this. For example, you should stick to a notes format (like TiddyWiki) and give us ability to remark (bold) text, create check-able lists of items inside a note.... with transparent formatting (for example, *text* should bold, []item1 []item2 should create a check-able list, !subtitle for that exactly that and so on...). I think it should not be very difficult to implement and it could lead to, perhaps, a web app complement.
This app has tons of potential uses and improves. Thanks again.
Ever since I got my Samsung Captivate I've been using its built in memo pad for months. The fact that I couldn't export my notes was kind of a bummer. Now with your simple app, taking notes has never been simpler.
I'll try to report bugs when I see them. Thanks.
Been looking for something like this for ages, thank you.
Yesterday it worked fine, but today I'm getting FCs every time I open it on my Hero.
I'm about to test this in the Nook Color.. Thought the title "Drop-Notes" might be best appropriate for its key function :- )
All the minimal features are AWESOME thus far!
I've been using AK Notepad for the past few months.
I DON'T LIKE that it requires their webapp at catch.com to sync.
I REALLY LIKE that yours is very simple.
The only feature that I liked in AK Notepad, that I would like for you to implement would be #hashtags. This would make categorizing notes much simpler on both ends of the sync.
Along with the hashtags, a simple filtering system would be great!
And perhaps a customizable widget, that displays ONLY a set hashtag?!
Great job!
I'll be the first to donate/buy when you choose that route.
I can't link my dropbox account. the link button does nothing for me. It lets me enter my email and password, but thats it.

After the success of the beta programme (over 100 people wanting to signup!) I decided it was time to re-write the platform to allow me to add more features and improve the overall "feel" of it. I also have plans to commercialise the platform, allowing it to be used by businesses/individuals who wish to monitor devices remotely.
The client application for Android is available freely from here and can be included in a custom ROM if you wish to make it persistant across factory resets. I do ask that if your are a ROM developer that you let me know before you do this, and also credit me in your release notes.

Hi,
I have created a geolocation app a bit like MobileMe or htcsense.com for any Android 2.2 device with Market. Allows you to show your device on a map and make the alarm sound, all via a web portal.
http://promethium.mobi/
This site is the main portal, There will be limited accounts to start with, just 20. These will be BETA accounts as I need people to trial the system to get feedback etc. Currently the email address has to be unique, but doesn't need to be a valid address, however this will be useful when you try and report issues.
Once you have signed up, the latest APK for the client application will be downloadable from the portal toolbar. This app will ask for the same login credentials used on the portal, and once connected you are ready to use the portal functions.
Check the site periodically, as I will allow more signups as the application progresses.
Please can we keep all bug reports within this thread, I would rather develop this in the open.
Enjoy,
Rich

So far I have made quite a few alterations, improvements to the UI on the portal, as well as more interactive feedback. This means that you need to re-download and install the client app - this will overwrite the current one, and will keep all existing settings
Enjoy!
Very nice application! Good

You're welcome, and thanks for the positive feedback!
I would appreciate if you could test out the portal/make sure it does what it is supposed to etc. Post back here if you have any niggles, but also if you can think of anything which might improve the experience.

Ok. It should play the default alarm tone you have set. Could you pastebin a logcat, from before you click "play sound" until the notification appears.

Well that's why! I figured it would play it's own notification. I have the alarm volume set to 0 because I don't ever use it.lol
It would be nice if you had a configuration for that in the app or the portal.
Keep up the good work,

Hmmm. It should crank the volume up to max before it plays the tone.

I haven't included an "alert" sound yet, as I thought people would recognise their own alerts easier. I like the idea of adding a customise option to the app though Thanks!
It so cool! Thank you.
Keep it up

Hmm that's weird. It didn't change the volume, but when I manually did it, the sound worked. Other than that, the app looks and works great!
One more suggestion though, idk if it's possible, could you have it force turn on gps? I normally leave it off so if I actually do lose my phone, it would just give me the giant radius of the cell tower location...
Also, I notice you're using dyndns. Is the computer/server you're running it on going to be up 24/7?
**EDIT**
One more suggestion, a "My Phone's Location" button on the portal that snaps to the location and centers it.

Sorry, starting from Android 1.5 cupcake, you cannot programmatically toggle GPS. It should be fine to leave it enabled though.

While I am developing the app regularly it is running on a server I have on a dynamic IP line. Once the app is ready for general release it will go onto into a hosted environment.

Hitting "Refresh Location" does this now, but it takes up to 5 seconds to move across the map, I will look at making it snappier

hi,
i have created a geolocation app a bit like mobileme or htcsense.com for any android 2.2 device with market. Allows you to show your device on a map and make the alarm sound, all via a web portal.
http://promethium.mobi/
this site is the main portal, there will be limited accounts to start with, just 20. These will be beta accounts as i need people to trial the system to get feedback etc. Currently the email address has to be unique, but doesn't need to be a valid address, however this will be useful when you try and report issues.
Once you have signed up, the latest apk for the client application will be downloadable from the portal toolbar. This app will ask for the same login credentials used on the portal, and once connected you are ready to use the portal functions.
Check the site periodically, as i will allow more signups as the application progresses.
Please can we keep all bug reports within this thread, i would rather develop this in the open.
Enjoy,
rich

I have read through the SDK documentation and the best you can do is prompt the user to enable it. So kind of misses the point
I have also altered the JavaScript code so that clicking on the location refresh button zaps you to the marker instantly, but you still have to wait until the phone updates the server to see the latest result

Thanks for the positive feedback - glad you like it so far.
Yes, more features will be coming soon, including a "Lock" ability. This is quite a complicated one though, might require the user to select a "secure" lock screen prior to first use.
I also thought of some wicked uses for the Nexus S, but that will have to wait until I get time ( here's a clue: Peekaboo! )

Hey xda!
Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.
CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:
View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.
Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.
View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.
Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)
View profile pictures.
View received images
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):
Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].
View received images in higher res. View videos/audio.
Last seen.
Group chats.
Start a new chat.
View / edit your own profile
Call and send SMS from contact profile ( there are buttons for it , but do nothing ).
Voice reply
Send images / videos
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).
Tizenmod.
sqlite3 installed on your phone. If you dont have it, there are apps in the PlayStore that can install it for you, or you can manually copy sqlite3 file to system/xbin from an emulator.
Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.
Reviews, bug reports and ideas are appreciated.
Hope you like it

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Can you try sideloading the watch app directly from your pc and tell me if it gets installed or the command output if it fails?
PS: I just installed it on a note 3 paired with a gear 2 neo using Samsung's Remote Test Lab without problems.
Thank you! I'll try later.
But where can I find the Samsung remote test Lab?

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/
Hi everyone,
Easy Copy is a free app which goal is to improve the default Copy - Paste feature in Android.
When you want to copy a text and use it in another app in Android, you normally have to :
- select the text
- tap on the copy button
- quit the current app
- search and open the app where you want to use the copied text
- select the text field
- tap on the paste button
When Easy Copy is installed and enabled on your phone, you only have to :
- select the text
- tap on copy button
- select the action you want to perform thanks to the easy copy popup menu
Easy Copy can be found in the Play Store : download here.
How does it work?
Easy Copy installs a listener on the copy function in Android. After you tap on a copy button, the Easy Copy pop-up menu is displayed.
Available actions:
locate an address in Google Maps
call a phone number
translate with Google Translate
create an event/a reminder
modify the text you copied
send by text message
share (when not already available in the current application)
These actions can be enabled or disabled in the settings of the application, and their order in the list can be changed.
You can also add your own actions from the list of the "Share" apps or simply open another app you use often.
A blacklist is also available to block the popup from showing up in certain apps like password managers or text editors : just choose the apps you want to blacklist !
So far the feedback has been good so we hope that you enjoy this app.
We are very interested in all the feedback that you can provide! Dont hesitate to suggest other actions!
Here is the link guys https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camel.corp.copytools
Hi guys,
First I would like to thank GreekDragon for adding the link and Mr Thomas Dallas for publishing a great review for this app! You can find the video on Youtube (Enhance Android's Copy & Paste Functions [How-To] from GadgetHacks, still cant post links . We have had lots of downloads thanks to you guys and our userbase is growing fast.
Today we have published a small update which adds a german language version of the app and fixes lots of bugs (v1.1.3).
The next update will focus on adding more options and target new use cases where the app could be useful.
Don't hesitate to test the app and suggest other actions in this thread, i am sure some of you might have great ideas to improve Android Copy and Paste!

App update v1.2.2
Hi everyone,
Just to let you know that we have updated the app with a pretty stable version, v1.2.2
It should correct major issues and introduces new features (since v1.2) :
- Add your own custom actions in the Easy Copy popup!
- New "Send by email" action
- Blacklist feature: specify the apps where you don't want the Easy Copy popup to appear
- Fix for LastPass users: Easy Copy and LastPass do not interfere with each other anymore
Don't hesitate to give us feedback on this new version.
The CamelCorp Team
Great idea and nice implementation, thanks for this app!
Could you add a "copy saved" feature? Like a clipboard in fact.
Great suggestion, actually we are already working on it!
It should be coming in a future 2.0 version, but we have a lot of work to get done first

How does this play along with these? Guess simply try it.
i could help with the Hellenic (Greek) Translation/Localization.
I've done AcDisplay, CallRecorder, and many more.

Hi,
What do you mean by that ? The popup should open whenever you tap on the "copy" button.
What is your device model and Android version ?
Thanks for your feedback.

I am using Micromax A116
KK 4.4.2
Awesome app, always hatet coping phone numbers over to phone app, as somtimes clicking on the number didn´t bring up the dialer.
I have pushbullet on my xperia z and i use the function where i can copy something from my pc and paste it on my phone. With Easy copy i get a popup everytime i copy something from my pc. I tried to black list pushbullet but nothing changed. I liked easy Copy a lot but i really like the pushbullet copy paste function too. Any ideas?
By dialer do you mean the phone dialer ? I can't even copy anything from my dialer! That is weird though, I don't see why the popup could not appear in the rest of your apps.
Do you have any other app interfering ? Can you send me a logcat ?
Thanks for your feedback.
I am aware of the pushbullet issue. Actually the blacklist is only blocking the popup from apps, not services. To solve this issue I have to set up another blacklist option : a "service" blacklist. This should come in a future release.
The only way around this I can think of for the moment is disabling temporarily easy copy while you are using your computer and re activate it when you're done
What an excellent app! Congrats to your team!
I think it will be something I will use all the time, already bought the full version
Seems to work great so far. I do have a suggestion. Along with searching with google, how about a search with chrome so that we are already in chrome and are able to skip a step, as one search can lead to another.
