Hi to everybody,
I would like to introduce ZaBa Photo Mosaic Lite, an Android App to create photomosaics with pictures present in the device.
It can produce colored, greyscaled and with sepia effect mosaic, selecting all the pictures in the Gallery or only some Album.
The mosaic is composed of 33x33 pictures, each of 120x90 pixels, so the resolution is nice. In this free version at most 600 different pictures can be used in a mosaic. It takes me about two minutes to create a mosaic in the LG L9 and forty seconds in the Samsung S2.
The result obtained is very nice, for example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Features:
- free
- colored, greyscaled and with sepia effect mosaics
- grid of photos or rotated photos as tesseras
- you can select which album to use for the creation
I hope you'll enjoy it!
P.S.: in some device there could be some problems with the Android Thumbnails (you can recognize this if the second running is slow or if you have some hole in the mosaic). Go to Advanced Setting and set "ZaBa Thumbnails" to solve this issue. In a few days we are going to release version 2.1 with this problem solved and a new faster modality.

You are right!! Thank you very much! I press the thanks button!
Got any pictures?

Could you please add the apk to the OP so that people with no access to the Play Store can try the app? No need to upload the paid one, just the lite will do
Thank you.
What do you mean, mcwurth? Do you what to see some example of created mosaics? or do you need pictures to create the mosaic? you can find both in www.zabaapps.com (I'm sorry, but in first posts I can not insert links.. :/)

Yeah the first post.... And he is asking you to add the apk of the light version of your awesome app as an attachment.... So people can download that easily... Especially people who are not connected to Google play...
BTW... That's a nice app... But my device is not old enough to check that out....

I have seen the review in the home page of XDA. Thank you very much!
It is a great honor for us (the coauthor of the App and me), we spent a lot of energy and time in doing this App and it is a great reward to be in the home page of the main Android forum.
In a few days, we are releasing version 2.1 with a new modality and improved performance, so that the App will be fast in large part of the devices, also at the first usage.
In the App we implement the check of the license, and it would not work if installed out of the Google Play. According to the feedback, we may disable the check and upload the apk in this page (but we need some time, we are developing and maintaining the App in our free time).
We are available for any other advice or give other information about the App. :good:
Works well on a xperia Z-Ultra, very fast.
Congrats on the feature on XDA Portal.
on the lite version how do you target a whole gallery? it only letting me target on photo. and also the setting tab is not working
The idea of the app is great.
While I understand the effort of the devs to build it, I have a complain (not on the app itself, to be noted): I think that the double limitation on Lite version (number of photos to use AND watermark) is too much. Basically, any photo created with the Lite version will be unusable....

The target is the image that will be used as base for the mosaic. You can select only one target at once.
You can select which Album of the Gallery to use as tesseras for the mosaic in the Select Album section (you can access it from the main screen). By default the whole Gallery is already selected.
What do you mean with "is not working"? In the lite version some option are disabled (the high and very high quality, and some parameters related to them), and you can choose the kind of thumbnails to use (I suggest you to use ZaBa thumbnails, they have less bugs that Android thumbnails) and the output directory (internal SD or external SD, if you have one).
Let me know if you solve your problems!
blueether: thank you for the feedback!!

In the lite version you can use from 50 to 600 DIFFERENT photos, which are quite a lot in a 33x33 tesseras resolution: you can expect to create the whole mosaic using only two or three times every picture.
I think that this is a sufficient number of photos to understand the potentialities of the App (note that all the color modes and the tessera modes are available in the lite version), unless you need an high quality mosaic.
In a few days, we are releasing the new version of the App, including a new modality to obtain 2 possible kind of mosaics with the Lite version (again with all color and tessera modes available), I hope this will improve the possibility of test the Lite App.
In any case, the Lite Version does NOT insert a WATERMARK in the mosaic (a watermark is a writing in the image, isn't it? or what do you mean with watermark?).
Thank you for the feedback!!
great app, but the album select can better
nice app, tried a few samples and was pretty interesting.
I have a lot more images on my phone then what the album select is picking up.
and couldn't browse the folder structure to see the full path of the folder selected.
my external sdcard, is not recognised on my stock SGS4.

Hi! Probably you see less albums in "Select Album" than those present in your phone, because of Android Gallery is somewhat messy and we already verified that sometimes it can happen. As we suggest in the FAQ section of our site (www.zabaapps.com/en/faq#10), it is possible to restore the Gallery with the following simple procedure:
Go in the Android menu Setting > Application > All, and click on Media Storage. Then click on Data clear and Cache clear. In this way the Android Gallery information will be cleaned and in the next device reboot (in a few minutes) it will be re-initialized correctly.
What do you mean with "my external sdcard is not recognised"? Albums present in the external SD are not shown in "Select Album"? Maybe this is due to the previous problem. Otherwise, can you please tell me the exact path of the external SD in your device?
In this case we are going to fix this issue in the next release.
Thank you very much for this information!

In some devices, when you create a mosaic and then you overwrite it with another one (same name), Android doesn't update immediately the thumbnail associate so you continue to see the previous preview. But if you open it you will see the second one created as you expect. Is this your problem?
We know this issue, and we are going to solve it in the next releases. I hope it's not blocking for you..
Thank you for the feedback!

Yes, in my understanding a watermark was something 'on top' of the picture. I will try it out.
I think that this has a huge potential and it is something quite new (never heard of something similar). I was looking for something like this for some time. Probably I will end up buying it...
As a suggestion, maybe you can consider to allow the use of multiple albums. I have most of my pictures arranged in albums and it would be great to allow multiple albums.

There are no watermark... just try the free version and check it, if you don't believe me...
You already can select multiple albums: just click "Select Album" in the main screen, and select the albums you want to use as tesseras in the "Select Album" screen.
I hope you'll enjoy it!

Hi all
Im new here so I hope this is posted right. Ive developed an Android app that is similar to the iPhone Photoswap app. For those not aware, Photoswap lets you take a photo and send it to a random person, and you will in return receive a random photo back. You can then take part in picture-conversations with the person who you received a photo from.
Ive had a couple people testing my app and it seems to just about ready (apart from using the default app icon), and I'd like to put it out there for others to start using (and hopefully provide some feedback on ) Im new to android development (although not new to programming itself), and this is my first android app. IMHO it works better than the similar Picswap app that exists already, as this doesnt force-close constantly or throw-out error messages regarding "corrupt" images
I have attached the APK with my post for anyone who wishes to download and install it
There is a known issue with the app at the moment that it does not (at least on HTC devices) delete any photos that you have taken, and they still appear in your Photos app. From what Ive found, using the camera Intent saves 2 copies of the photo to the SD card, and Ive only found one path from the URI to delete (so 1 copy is deleted, but the other remains). These can be deleted from the Photos app still however, but Im looking into how to delete these automatically from the app also.
Edit: The app also starts with a blank screen (no default image yet), just press the menu key to begin
Edit 16th September: New APK uploaded, fixes some threading issues and adds debug log output. Please download and install this as the old one may continue to run in the background and not pause properly when changing apps.
For those having issues, please use aLogCat (from the market) and filter by "SnapSwap" to access the debug log. Please PM me a copy of this along with your phone model and android version and I will look into it Most issues so far seem to be with Cyanogen Mod and Motorola users
hay, i'm one of the beta testers,
and this app is really nice
i hope the optic would be a bit better in the next beta , but it makes fun to "swapping" pictures with other testers !
it is much faster then "a world of photo" it never take longer then 10sec since i get a picture
Really nice and weLL done
Greetings from germany !
Thanks for sharing!
Im going to try make an icon for it soon along with a default image to be shown as well, and adjust the polling time with the server for replies (or even look at adding a push notification system to it)
Just updated the APK in my original post to fix some bugs as at least one user was not being assigned a unique ID properly, updated the server to watch for this also.
For those that have already installed the app, I recommend installing this one over it
If those that have installed it could provide some feedback it would also be greatly appreciated
nice idea i like it , i will share my photo with others sounds good
i will feed u back
I downloaded, installed and when i took a pic it immediately force closed.
Oh great, twenty bucks you get some picture of some dudes junk or some other nasty pic.

There has not been any unwanted material sent via it as yet. Im looking into the best way to ban those that would at the moment. As it is currently though, devices are only identified via a unique ID provided by the server the first time the device accesses it, and this is extremely simple to get around if I were to "block" a device.
To those that have had force-closures: Can you please let me know the following..
1) Do you have an SD Card installed?
2) What device are you using?
3) What version of Android are you running?
Works great for me on Samsung Vibrant. I only get one copy of the pictures (that I take), then of course the temp files SnapSwapImg.jpg (the last pic I took) and SnapSwapImg2.jpg (the last one I received). I totally dig the application! You can reply to pictures (of course, with other pictures), receive replies, and even continue your "pic conversation" with that individual. Yeah, you could end up with a dude's (or chick's, though I doubt there'd be many complaining) junk in exchange for your picture, but putting in any kind of regulation for something like that just ruins the whole point of the application. Can't wait to see this adopted by more people.

Hey everyone,
then next app BETA is finished "Easy Contact Sync".
Based on my last app "Easy App Toolbox", I created this new app for handling your contacts.
Contacts are saved as VCARDs (*.vcf files). This way they can easily be used in any other application that can handle VCARDs.
Feature List:
* Backup/Restore to/from Dropbox
* Backup/Restore to/from Google Drive
* Backup/Restore to/from Box.net
* Backup/Restore to/from SD card
* Auto Sync (automatically backup all contacts every night at 0:00)
* Directly send/share one or multiple contacts
I'm really looking forward to your feedback!
The app is available at the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.goddchen.android.easycontactsync
as well as via QR code
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The app uses a freemium model again: free selection limit: 3 contacts at a time, auto-sync is also available via in-app purchase. As you are used to, you can freely choose how much you want to pay!

Does this app maintain the quality of the contact photos?
I've added photos from my SD card for higher resolution as it looks better during incoming/outgoing calls. Would love to be able to restore contacts without having to manually update the pictures!
can this back up my facebook contacts?coz only in htc sence it syncs fb phone numbers and i want to try cm in my phone but will lose my fb contacts numbers
I wanted to know what the major difference is between this app and the google contacts? dont they both automatically sync my contact info.. ???
I'm not sure if this is already supported but if it dosent i want to make a suggestion for a feature ...
I've synced my contacts from google account(phone numbers) and facebook and linkedin and twitter... And manually put them together so each one matches the appropriate contact.. but every time i flash a rom i loose this data.. can you make sure that the links that are mainted are reestablished when i install a new rom and reinstallt the apps and sync my contacts so they atutomatically stich themselves back together.. ????

Does your google contacts get synced to dropbox, box, or drive? or sync your contacts with google when you don't have a data connection?
I will check out the merging logic and if it can be backed up. Thanks for the suggestion
v1.0-beta1-2 Changelog:
Unified the existing 2 in-app purchases to 1 premium-purchase that now unlocks all premium features. Users who have already purchased one of the existing IAPs automatically now have everything unlocked. If you had purchased both IAPs, contact me to get a refund for one of them!
Now compatible with Google TV (some clould service SDKs doesn't support Google TV!!!)

Heya... very nice app
I read about it today morning and want to test it immediatelly. After 2 mins of testing I bought the premium version right off. Exactly what I'm looking for.
The app and backup itself with DropBox works great on my Galaxy Note II.
Some whishes for the Future if possible:
- SD-Card-Backup takes only the internal card. It will be great if I can select the external SD-Card too
- It will be nice if I have an overview about activated tasks (what - when - where)
- It will be a nice feature if I can change the time and intervall of backup
Thank you for this amazing app.

It currently takes the default "external storage" returned by the Android SDK. But it's a good idea to add a setting for customizing the output folder Added to the TODO list
Well currently auto-backup is always scheduled to run at midnight. In the current situation, it is enough to display an on/off state of the feature. But adding customized scheduling is a nice idea, definitely on the TODO list and with that, of course, any overview about the scheduled backups

Awesome,
yes there were some guys that rated 1 star without giving any explanation in the comment. I have already contacted those guys via G+ but normally those guys won't respond. And therefore I cannot do anything about the causes of their 1-star ratings...
I have also experienced in the past that developers of competing apps and their friends are giving 1-star ratings to all competitors... that's very sad

1. No select all even after getting premium? REALLY? I have 300+ contacts and am not going to select them all one by one.
2. All cloud options fail. Nothing ever comes up about logging into them for the backup = constant FAILED TO UPLOAD errors.
3. After upgrading to premium why should i still see the button advertising for other apps? Completely out of the question.
4. Get rid of the dumb "how do you like this app" at the bottom. Unnecessary.
5. Add custom backup/restore path selection for backup to sd card and even cloud backups.
6. A settings option is a great invention that allows someone to configure all sorts of things and is an integral part of 99.9% of apps out there, yet this app lacks one.
I rated very poorly in the store along with a review until some of these features (most are no brainers imo) are added/fixed.
AW: [APP] Easy Contact Sync
Year... thats is typically for XDA for a lot of month ago....
every new app with potential will be rated poor or very poor at first...
In my opinion this is primary a discrimination on all the new apps and developers... Could this be the sence of rating? I don't think so... and this could not be the right way...
I have installed many apps which are rated poor or very poor. In any case at the moment I'm shure that these apps are one of the best.
In these days you can only read - especially the descriptions of developers - read and read... and than at least it is your decision if you install an app or not. In most cases developers describe exactly what an app can do and what not.
And than developers get an poor rating because not supporting an feature that never been discussed.
Thats crazy... thats real crazy... I'm very sad about this... I'm sorry... we all have got a great tool named Android in this case... and I'm shure too... these actions are not similar with the spirit of Android !!!

Google+ Community - Beta signup - Play Store
Had to create a new community, apparently you can't change visibility to public after it's been created as private.
Hello world! I just (beta) released my own, first Android application to Play Store!
As of now it's in beta and I need your help!
I need testers!
I have created a group/community on Google+ where everyone is free to join (although it seems I have to accept individually.. Annoying!)
There you can find links to the beta signup and the app on playstore and you need to join the community to be able to download the Beta.
The plan is to take the app out of beta as soon as possible but that requires some serious testing and without you that's not possible!
So give me all feedback, even the worst kind! Bugreports, screenshots, hugs! Everything!
You can also share your ideas and thoughts. There is also a changelog section for updates!
Anyone speaking all but Swedish and English are very welcome to help translating the app!
Soon:
- Online storage
- Widgets
- Ability to share notes (E-mail, export to textfiles etc.)
- Themes (Color palettes basically)

I just downloaded this app and it looks very nice for a beta application.
I'd like to make one suggestion however. I can already see the security question you chose to implement in the security section of the app is going to cause a lot of fuss by the general public. I can already see people being weary putting their real credit card # in because they will think you will be able to see this answer. Then they are going to put in a fake #, forget what they used, and get locked out. This results in a 1 star review.
My suggestion is to create a list of 10 or so predefined questions they can answer. Even better let them type in their own question that they can answer.

Hi. Thank you for your time!
This has crossed my mind and had me thinking, but then I remembered the 4 last digits are the only ones that show (most of the times I can remember, anyhow) if you add a creditcard to a online site, for example. Plus its basically impossible to forget! So I thought this would make no difference, but I'm afraid you're right.
Other security questions will be in the next update (or after that one), because this is a very big deal. And ofcourse the ? button will be removed, its only for developer/beta purpose.
Thank you for pointing this out!
A bit weird on my phone
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA Free mobile app
its awesome but also on my device the floating button is like @handgun50 screenshoot, on my tablet floating button is just black weird looking and just white plus no pink color, when i go to settings and try change password whatever i do it says wrong password, i wish to see transparent status bar also or just like original material design 500 in app and 700 for status bar

This was fixed in the latest update. Try updating the app from Play Store and see if you still have this problem. Thank you both.
I am glad it's in active development

Hi and thanks for trying out my application.
The Statusbar
It cannot be colored as in android L because you cannot mix android L with previous versions of android since its the developer preview (it's just that, a preview). So the only way to do this (for now) is by replicating the design and other effects to make them work in previous android versions where the coloring of statusbar obviously cannot be done.
I could however, make a separate app only for android L but imagine having to work with two apps at once.. Alone.
When they release the full thing this will be possible in the same app by declaring the sdk to L (or whatever it will be called).
Offline Mode
The offline mode is for when I have an online database to keep the notes. As of now its only local. When this is ready, you will be able to choose whether you want to keep your notes online or local.
Thank you.

Just a couple of things:
a) Is there no longer a beta community? I go to G+ Community and then Beta signup, but all I see is:
Sorry – nothing to see here.
There may be several reasons:
The app that you’re looking for doesn't exist
or
the app developer is not currently running a test
or
you are not eligible to participate in the testing programme.
If you received the link to this page from someone, we recommend that you contact them for more information.

b) I have not installed it yet ... will do it soon, but in the meantime, on the screenshots, I see those label kind of things (Beta, Incredible, Similey, etc...) what are they? I mean, I would love to have either folders or "labels" as Gmail does so that I can group notes and then would like to have a lock/unlock feature for each group/folder/label.
c) I would also think it would be nice if the online feature allowed th user to save the notes to ones own Gmail or Google Drive account or even maybe dropbox or box.
Design looks nice.
Off to download, but will look at it only tomorrow.
Cheers!

its can be done look on lg g3 kk stock when you enter any app status bar change color, and also with an xposed module can be done that on rom but i wont use xposed (art reason), for example look on app "pushbullet" awesome transparanecy on statusbar and navigation bar am just suggesting so you will do what you like

The google+ community should be working as its supposed to. For me both links work fine. Have you joined the community before you try to join the beta?
These are tags. The tags are like categories. I am working on a way to sort these by tags. In the meantime all they do is to show you what kind of note it is.
To be able to share the note is one of my primary goals. You should be able to save to a local textfile, send by email and save to drive. I have successfully added a file in drive with the name of the title but the part where the content fills the file is very hard.
Thank you for trying out my app and thank you for f
The feedback. Much appreciated.
Gorgeous! Really good job here, here are some recommendations:
1/ Can you implement a feature, where I can restore my notes from Google Keep?
2/ Archiving notes, so only the important ones are visible
3/ Purple colored "Title" is burning my eyes!

Thank you for trying my app. And thanks for the kind words.
I don't know how Keep works (I mean behind the scenes) so that might be difficult. Worth looking into though since alot of people are using Keep. Great tip.
Yes this will be implemented. You will be able to swipe away notes later on. This follows android guidelines and its very useful.
Oh, really? Sorry to hear that it's the color that burns your eyes or the actual little text? Its probably not needed since the inputfield has a hint saying 'Title'. Will look into it

FastFileTransfer has a simple mission: Offering fast, offline file exchange between literally any platforms.
The app works via Wifi, allowing for speeds of more than 40 Mbit/s, which means e.g. 1 Gigabyte in under 4 minutes.
FastFileTransfer does not require the second device to install anything, allowing for transfers from or to any other platform.
I'm proud to announce the release of Version 2.0!
The original version of FastFileTransfer was released back in 2012. It reached nearly 900.000 downloads, but even cooler: It was featured on the XDA Start Page back in 2013, which I'm still very thankful for!
FastFileTransfer 2.0 is a complete rewrite that took me 11 months of spare time development. I've written a whole new transfer engine (now even faster!), new User Interface and created a new Icon. There are tons of new features, and here is a list of all of them:
Features:
Lightning fast: Transfer 1 GB in under 4 minutes
Send multiple files or even whole folders (as ZIP)
Easy to follow step-by-step instructions
Receive from any device and operating system that supports WiFi
No need for an existing WiFi connection
Works completely offline
The receiver does not have to have the app installed
Send multiple files as ZIP
Display QR codes for faster receiving
Optionally use NFC for pairing
Unique engine specifically developed for compatibility against a wide range of Android devices
Send to an unlimited number of devices at the same time
New in Version 2.0:
New transfer engine
New UI
New Icon
Now supports sending via Wifi Direct or an existing Wifi Connection
Send multiple files as ZIP
Continues sending from background
New super secure mode
Send files from different folders
Send whole folders
More progress details
Now translated to German, Spanish (thanks @josuearisty!!), French, Turkish, Italian
Support for Android 5.0 Lollipop
Pro Version with additional features
Buy the Pro Version ($1.99) to:
Receive files from devices that don't have FFT installed
Let receivers download multiple files with one click (unzipped)
Get rid of the ads

I'm curious to hear your feedback!
Let me know what you like, and what you don't. Please feel free to ask questions or make suggestions for future updates!
(There is a thread for the old version, but as the new version is a complete rewrite, I decided to start a new one. If any moderator reads this post, please close the old thread.)
Excellent! Gonna test it now!

Cool, thanks! Let me know how you like it!
So here are my finding with FFT v2.0
01) Very good UI. Great speed and ease of use once you get the hang of it. Kudos to the hard work put up by the developer. Well worth the wait of all these months. :good:
Bugs/Quirks:
02) Instructions tab: The tab heading "Instructions" is not fully visible. I can only see till "Instructio". The rest gets clipped for some reason.
03) Instructions tab: The "Sending" section shows me the same instructions on selecting any of the 3 points. Confusing!
04) Instructions tab: The "Sending/Receiving" section does not give me any instructions on selecting any of them. Is it supposed to?
05) Sending tab: The best thing is that I can select multiple files and folders from ANYWHERE in the memory. The select files dialogue can use some spit polish. When removing a file, the "minus" sign gets lost within the file name.
06) Sending tab: I open the select files dialogue box. Press the back button. Now I can no longer get the select files dialogue box.
07) Sending tab: Is it necessary to show open file dialogue when a file is selected? I am not sure of this. Developer knows better.
08) Sending tab: After selecting all the files, I came to step 1. I didn't realize for a few minutes that I can scroll down and see step 2. Let there be some visual indicator so that the user knows it can scroll down/up.
09) Sending tab: I wanted to cancel the sharing of files. There is no stop or cancel button. (I can provide some UI mockup to integrate #05 and #09)
10) Sending tab: Please display speed in MB instead of Mb. Or gives us an option for the same.
11) Other: FFT can generate QR codes for links. Can you also integrate a QR code reader somewhere within the app (probably the "Receive" tab)? Other devices with FFT can then receive files more easily using the built-in reader.
12) Other: Instructions, Sending tabs: Ads at the bottom. Files tab: Ads at the top. Design inconsistency
The update is HUGE and hence there will surely be some bugs here and there. Though the dev is not under any obligation to fix them, these are just points that would make FFT better than before. I am still testing the app and will let you know if I face any more issues.
Once again, congratulations on the marvelous update. :highfive:

I'm really curious about this feature, as it's exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks.

Sure: It's like the opposite of the sending mode that is available in the free version:
You start a receiving session inside FFT
The other device without FFT installed connects to the wifi and navigates to the website as instructed within FFT
Now, instead of getting a list of receivable files, the other device is offered with a form that allows to choose local files (files that are on the other device)
The other device has then to click a Send button, which starts the transfer
FFT displays the same progress information as when sending
All received files are available in the Files tab within the app
You're just 1.99$ away from trying it yourself :laugh:

Damn, I just purchased an app that does a very similar thing - although that app's UI is not exactly the best size to be used on a phone :/
1. Is your webform designed to be used/viewed on phones as well as tablets/PCs?
2. Does your app support sending multiple files and/or entire folders (including maintaining the directory structure) from a phone without FFT installed (via the webform/UI) to the FFT recipient?
Cheers for the quick reply.
Excellent app! Bought pro few days ago.
Makes file transfer so easy!! Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Multiple files are not supported by most Android browsers, but are supported by the app. It works on any desktop browser or even iOS devices. There might be a capable browser though. Let me know if you know one! Whole folder structures are supported when the folder is zipped before uploading.

Anyone with a Nexus 6 getting FC at times? After entering device name and password, the app FC. Then after initiating a send it will FC. Happens like clock work, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. Sent a bug report.
No issues on my One and N7 so far though.

I had a thought about a way to send an entire directory (and subs), taking into account the android file browser limitation:
Suggestion: A special 'Send Directory' button specifically for phones. (perhaps this button would detect when a phone/tablet was being used versus a normal PC.)
This button would request a single file to be nominated (just like in single file mode) except that it would truncate the target file's 'URL/ sdcard-path' and send all files (including the directory that the file was located in and all subs of that directory).
Is that possible?
Also, do you plan on releasing a dark theme?
Thanks again
MyNotes
Post #1: App introduction, download link, credits, screenshots attached.
Post #2: FAQ / other info.
Hello!
I've spent last days in making an app for taking notes. Initially, I wanted to make a shopping list, but then I decided to make an app which allow me to take notes because there are moments when I need to take a quick note. I can't upload it to Google Play because I don't have my own money ( and I'm almost 21 already... ).
I'm still a Tasker newbie
FEATURES:
☆ Possibility to save the current text from text field to a .txt file in a folder named MyNotes, along with the date and the clock when the text was saved. You can save text to same .txt file as much as you want.
☆ Enable a shake option to launch MyNotes.
☆ Enable a persistent notification, which after is touched will run MyNotes.
☆ No ads
That's all the features. I've wanted to add a color picker too for changing the theme, but it went troublesome for me and also then I didn't think themes are that useful for an app like this.
DOWNLOAD: https://www.mediafire.com/download/3dggq5uhdyugd33
CREDITS:
- Tasker and it's developer
- reddit forum (big thanks to Ratchet_Guy)
- google tasker forum
- me
NOTE: This app was created on my phone, a Samsung Galaxy J5, with a 5.0", 720x1280 resolution screen. It might look weird on other resolutions.
FAQ / other info
1. Who are you?
I'm Robert (Force @xda). I've created this app using Tasker because there are moments when i need to write a quick note and read it later. I'm sure that there are apps much better than this, but i wanted one made with Tasker. I'm addicted to Tasker, but i still noob
2) Why are required network permissions?
Tasker added the permissions automatically according to app actions/features. I've added a button named "XDA thread" which open the xda thread. The button purpose is for writing bugs/reviews/suggestions. There is also a "SHARE" button to contact me through email.
I can remove these 2 buttons if you are concerned. I can also share the xml project.
3) Long press the buttons to see what it does.
4) I would like to know your review, your suggestions and also let me know if you found any bug.
5) The .txt file get saved in the folder named MyNotes in your phone internal memory (most likely /sdcard/ or /sdcard0/).
6. The "X" icon or phone back button minimize the app, so it saves the current text in textfield.
I'm waiting your opinion / review / suggestion
Thank you!

Sure. I've attached it to this post. It isn't that clean, for example the main scene is called SHOPPING because initially I wanted to make a shopping list. I didn't rename since I've exported it as app.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding the project file, or if you think I can make "the code" cleaner.
Also, if you wanna make your app or something and wanna share it, I would like to give credits to me if you are using scene, only if you mind. because I've spent few days working on
Please let me know your opinion about this app, good or bad review doesn't matter, but I want an honest review
Thank you!

I own a Samsung Note 3 so I am asking if could be possible to use the S pen with this project...
It seems nice but you can improve your design

It seems that is possible. Check that link. What kind of trigger you want?
By the way, LMT launcher helps in launching apps faster too.

Thank you for your reply!
At begin it looked even worse I think I'll try to design it with GIMP maybe.
Thanks.. but as you can imagine I am really noob with tasker so also with this app I really don't know where to begin to use S pen with your project... what I would like is the features to open your project when spen is removed and use the pen to write inside your notes...
Really difficult for you?

As far as I can see on internet, you need a plugin to do that. It can't be done alone with Tasker.
This is what you need: Note Buddy (S Pen Helper) . It does what you're looking for, and you don't have to use it with Tasker.
Please check it.
