I needed a PDF viewer for my own purposes, and the closest I could find was Maciej's PDF Viewer (=apv) app on the market. It was open source, and so I made a bunch of changes that I wanted or needed. Anyway, I now have a pre-release for version 0.3.0, which include a bunch of enhancements since Maciej's 0.2.9 release.
Here it is.
New features:
- speed optimizations
- page number display
- options including: full screen, reverse video, various tweaks, page with volume keys
- overhauled file selection: added icons for directories, added home directory option
- better font rendering
Now I posted pre-release 0.3.0 pre 2. Includes a monochrome feature to save memory and a zoom-to-width feature which I think people will find handy.
Sounds like you know what your doing. Not had a chance to test your app yet, but does it have the functionality to add bookmarks and highlight text?
Gonna try it out now, thanks!
No, there is no annotation, sorry. Just reading.
Its really nice with open source alternatives. Im gonna try it out.
I think i will love this. thanks bud
I haven't tried it yet but it would be great if you could add zoom to a fixed percentage
the reason I want that is some pdfs have huge fonts for the page numbering and while technically fit to width is working, there's still a fair amount of room on the sides. Obviously this should be sticky. A bonus would be it would remember the setting by filename
Works good, one option I'd love to get is fixed scrolling like with browsers

Zoom settings are indeed remembered by filename.
You can also adjust how much the zoom buttons zoom by. If you set that to 5% or 10%, you can do zoom-to-width and then press the zoom button once or twice.
Eventually, I'd like it to detect the real edges of the text.

I couldn't figure out how to implement that. Moreover, I find it's poorly implemented in the browser--it locks much better on my device into horizontal movement than into vertical movement!
Instead, there is a "vertical scroll lock" option. This locks the scrolling to be only vertical, unless you make a serious (1/5 screen width) swipe left or right which temporarily unlocks horizontal scrolling.
I`ve just tested this app for half an hour with a bunch of PDFs littered in my Desire. This is without exaggeration the best pdf-viewer I´ve seen so far.
Very useful:
- zooming in steps as little as 5% because most PDFs were made for monitors or printing and not smartphones
- inverting the screen for reading at night or low-light conditions. It also saves power on my screen to read white text with black background.
- and it´s FAST
What I miss:
- an option to forget about the layout of a PDF, so I can only get the pure text. This would be very useful for PDFs designed for magazines with a columned layout, which is a pain to read on a handheld computer.
Keep up the good work

Remember, too, that if you set the 5% zoom option, you can still long-touch the zoom buttons for a 2X zoom.

Wow, haven´t noticed that - that´s quite useful.
Originally I thought of requesting a feature to remember the place where I closed the document because I´m used to open things in the ES explorer.
Then I stumbled through the built-in file explorer - feature implemented
Maybe an FAQ or a short manual would be useful ...

There is a wiki on the project page. You can add a FAQ.
It's a great light app and it has some cool features which I miss on other apps. But my primary feature for PDF readers is smoothness.
It would be great if it would be working as smooth as Documents To Go (their PDF reader). By smooth I mean smooth rendering and scrolling. Also it won't hurt to have multitouch zooming.
I know it's easy to demand and hard to do but at least there are ideas what should be present in the next versions.

That's largely a matter of speed, and it's going to be hard to improve that, except by expending a lot of memory for caching and background rendering.
Also it won't hurt to have multitouch zooming.

I agree, but it is a finicky feature to implement correctly and hence requires a multitouch device for debugging. I don't own one. Moreover, there are potential patent issues.
I've just posted 0.3.0 pre 13. This unfortunately has a new bookmark database, not compatible with previous versions, so people will lose their per-document settings. I am hoping this is the last such loss--the new format will make code maintenance easier and is easily upward expandable.
New features/fixes in pre 13:
- store horizontal offset in per-document settings
- better restore of zoom if orientation has changed
- fix round-off error which resulted in occasional horizontal one-pixel-width errors
I would also like to mention the color feature in your app is really great! Now I can read without hurting my eyes in the dark and it saves batter as well. Great feature indeed!

hmmm what if you make the memory size for caching an option in the settings for users to choose their optimum size? Do you believe that this would make any speed improvements?

I see it's kind a hard/expensive to make this feature possible. Darn US laws on patents :-/ don't know if in EU is the same for Android apps but for C++ and other programming languages, there are no e-patents.
Keep on your great work!
PS: I'm using HTC Desire (CM7 rom)

Maybe, but it would need a smarter pre-render queue than we currently have. I experimented with making one, but my attempts were buggy so I got rid of them.
Tell me which scrolling pattern you'd like to be faster? Currently the app (in render ahead mode) is optimized for ebook reading: you read a page, and while you read the page, the next one is rendered and shows up instantly when you flip pages (I generally do that with the volume-down key) or scroll vertically to it.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug somewhere, perhaps only on devices with larger screen resolutions (it works fine on my 854x480 Archos, but I am told that it doesn't work on a 1280x960 screen), which makes the next page not show up instantly.
I'm curious about peoples' opinions of the app "LectureNotes" by Acadoid Developer and how it stacks up against the other main players in the active digitizer game. I've only been using my TPT for a few days' worth of note taking and haven't settled on a specific app yet, so I would like to hear thoughts on how you chose your primary note taking app.
i use ezpdf reader usually and just annotate my notes onto the pdf lecture slides.
if i need free form writing, i use free-note as it has keyboard + pen input
or quill if i just need pen input.
personally i haven't tried lecture notes, but it seems like MyScript Notes Mobile preloaded with the TPT
Wow, pretty good app. I didn't know about it. Thanks!
I've been using TPT for about 2 weeks now, and like the OP, I haven't really quite settled on a specific handwriting app..
Key uses for me are:
- taking notes during meetings
- something to help me in my Japanese language study
- some silly doodling/sketching fun
Some apps I've tried:
- Notesmobile
- Antipaper
- Writepad stylus
- Lecture notes
- Asus' supernotes
- Freenote
- Quill
For lecture notes specifically, I like that I can choose checkered pattern for the background and set the pattern size, as that is perfect for writing in Japanese.
But I found that it lags quite a bit when writing, and there isn't an easy way for me to scroll between pages.
So I haven't really been using it much in the past week.
For the moment, I've sort of settled with using a mix of Writepad, Supernote and Antipaper. Sadly, neither Supernote nor Antipaper has stylus only option
Still waiting for the one app that can do it all!
Might never come, but I can always hope, can't I?
I use Lecture Notes and have more or less canned every other note software. Lecture Notes just has way more features that I need. It can export in many ways. It can backup all my notes to dropbox, great support for inserting images and easy to change color, pen thickness etc.
Only think missing is better organization of the notebooks themselves. When that's here, it will be perfect.
It's also by far the most stable of Quill, Notes mobil and asus supernotes.
Personally, I have tried a lot of handwriting notes apps until I cam to this one. At that time this one worked the best overall in my opinion. When I first started using it didn't have everything it has now. But it was already robust and never crashed. I had one issue after a full system crash and reboot that wiped out the content of one notebook. But I simply loaded my backup from the day before without issue and kept rolling.
I have about 15 different notebooks on there now and I use them daily for work notes as I am walk around the office working on equipment or meeting notes.
It doesn't have the handwriting recognition features you find in other apps but I think that is what keyboard are for and I wouldn't write a document up that way anyway.
My good things list.
First, The developer is always adding things per user requests. Options for everything you can think of.
Second, it is being developed directly on the TPT and it seems to be one of the only ones able to be truly palm rejection friendly by only allowing the app to pull input from the pen (Option can be disabled for those that don't have a pen).
Third, and again the endless options... every type of custom settings, scrolling options (one finger, two finger, scroll bars and bar thickness), export options, backup options, sharing options, zoom options, page size - color - patterns, simple drawing tools, cut paste - copy paste, and on and on... every time I turn on the tablet it seems there is anther update to this app.
The dev listens to the feedback and finds ways of making the ideas work. I have submitted several ideas that have become reality.
It isn't free... but I would buy it a second and third time if I could just to support the dev team.
I see a brighter and brighter future of this app.
Hi folks,
I am the author of LectureNotes, I was glad to read that the app is useful for you. Sorry for joining this forum and this thread so late, but I learned only very recently that there are couple of forum threads related to LectureNotes.
Note that I uploaded v1.12.2 today with a couple of minor additions, the most important one probably being the possibility to choose the directory where the app stores your notebooks.
Best regards,
Markus

I am using the trial version, but i am already convinced of buying the full version. I have a suggestion to make :
The software really needs a laso eraser it will make it more feature-full
Dear trt44,
LectureNotes has a `lasso´ eraser, moving the eraser in a closed path so that start and end point are close deletes the interior.
Best regards,
Markus
Perfect, i just tried the laso eraser and it works like a charm, so i bought the software .
I have another suggestion : The software lacks the ability to draw basic shapes (rectangles, circles, lines...), and from my humble point of view, basic shapes are very important for fast and accurate drawing when taking notes.
Many thanks for purchasing the app.
The app contains simple drawing primitives, they are part of the pencil toolbox (as long as you do not disable this in the settings). Choose `Show pencil toolbox´ in the pencil menu to get the toolbox displayed, click-and-hold to move it around. A single click on one of the standard or custom pencils chooses the pencil and a double-click on one of the custom pencils opens the `Custom pencil settings´ dialog; a click on one of the drawing tools activates the drawing tool, another click inactivates it.
OK, thank you, i will try it once i get home.

OK, so far this is the best note taking application for android platform, it works exactly the way it should. But the UI is a bit ugly frankly you should work it more. A software like yours deserve a sexy fantastic UI :
- Attractive icons cause the actual ones looks dead to me, note Books icons for example looks horrible
- The ability to go forward and back in pages using forward and back buttons (more convenient sometimes instead of just scrolling or doing a notebook overview and select the page from there)
- Notebook overview should have an icon in the top tools bar for easy access
One last thing, when you use palm heuristic there is no way to zoom but using the zoom function in the menu witch have a fixed zoom ratio, i suggest to add a zoom slider in the top tools bar where you can specify how much you want to zoom when using (or not) palm heuristic.
Thank you for the fantastic software and keep the good work on .
Many thanks for your kind comments. I certainly agree that the icons can be improved, but I am not an artist and I do my best.
The app allows to go forward and backward page-wise by using `One page forward` or `One page backward´ in the hand menu; alternatively, to move quickly through your notebook without changing mode or switching to notebook overview, switch on `Permanently display scroll bars´ in the settings and drag on the scroll bars (the bar thickness can be increased in the settings).
`Notebook overview´ is just two clicks away in all modes (one click on main menu and one click on the item), I do not think that it is worthwhile to add an extra icon.
When using the heuristic palm rejection, one or two fingers gestures for scrolling and zooming are restricted to the hand mode, but being in this mode you can scroll and zoom continuously. Besides that, there is a zoom slider at the left side, you can change zoom by dragging it (the bar thickness can also be increased in the settings).
Just wanted to say hello to you Markus and thank you for your amazing app.
I am loving your app more and more. I appreciate your email correspondence about features I asked about. It truly puts you and your application above the rest.
Cheers.
I just uploaded v1.13 into Google Play. The major new feature is to allow folders of notebooks (and folders of folders of notebooks, etc.), but I also added LectureNotes as an image receiver (so that the app shows up when you share an image) and fixed a bug that could cause the app to crash when using a template for a new notebook.
To allow folders affects all parts of the app (notebooks board, notebook content view, notebook overview, notebook index, notebooks board index, ...). I carefully double- and triple-checked all features and things should work as before. Please drop an email to me in case you noticed something unexpected and I will do my very best to fix it quickly.
Best regards,
Markus
Sweet, I requested this feature cause of large number of notes
Works good, but maybe change the icon of folders so they stand out more from the regular.

This is a wonderful feature Markus that I didn't realize I needed until just recently. Love it I like the idea of changing the icon on the folders so they stand out more. I also love the new storage location setting, it eases my mind to know it is on my external_sd.
Also, I dunno if I am just being dense, but I cannot seem to figure out the navigation menu when enabled in settings. Within settings, under Settings > Menu > Enable app's launcher icon menu and it says it provides a navigation menu at the app's launcher icon. I've always assumed this was an extra navigation menu in the top left corner, but cannot seem to ever be able to use it.
Any thoughts?
I am glad to hear that you like the new feature.
In case you switch on the menu at the app's launcher icon, you should see a menu when clicking on the icon in the left upper corner (in difference to the case when this option is off, then you get a message that there is no functionality assigned, with the exception of notebook content view where the changed pages are flushed to the file system). What happens in your case? Does the icon highlight when you click on it?

It doesn't seem to do anything when I click on it, with either my finger or with the pen. And it doesn't seem to matter if I have it enabled or not. Neither scenario causes the icon to do anything. It doesn't highlight or say/do anything. It also does not matter what screen I am at, the icon never does anything. Whether I am within a notebook, folder or at the notebooks board screen. Odd.
Would this have anything to do with that I am running ICS?
Hi guys,
I have recently updated to the latest firmware (the 69MB "bug fix" ** , not jelly bean), and I have the following findings in S Note....
- No more options to hide tool bar, workspace significantly shrink
- My palm zooms the page every 20 seconds even though ink only mode is on
- Unable to "import" images in with landscape ratio as the note background. the gallery assumes that I want to crop a portrait image
- Which means that I have to rely on "Change background" when the note is opened, and change it EVERYTIME I add a new page
- If I close the landscape note, reopen it later, 7 time out of 10 the "change background" menu is greyed out, and 3 times out of 10 I have to select the image from gallery again.
-Import PDF finally works, but it converts my lecture slide pdfs to pixelated images of text...
I think there is a similar thread for GN8000 update, but is this what happens too? I really appreciate it if anyone can share any insights or suggestions as to how to fix the above inconvenience. I use S Note everyday and changing background every page I add is just too much for me. Portrait I tend to run out of horizontal space... Moreover, is it possible to simply install the apk of the old S Note? Will it work like before the update?
Many Thanks.
I knew I wasn't crazy! I thought something had changed in S-Note. The only thing that has actually been bugging me has been the screen resizing with my wrist. I always have to be super careful to make sure the tip of the pen is near the screen first and then I can rest my wrist. I'm sure other things have changed but I only use it to take notes at work so I always just use the default background.

I would think you could extract it from your previous rom or Titanium backup and install it in place of the latest one without issue.

No. There's associated files that would need be downgraded too. When I installed the newer APK on my Note without the associated files it crapped out. You can flash the old ROM you originally had via Odin. You should be able to find it and instructions in the dev section. Hopefully there will be an enhanced 2.0 version of S-Note in the JB update.

Excellent idea. Will be awesome with some polishing
Issues on my Verizon Galaxy S3.
1) Sleep timer doesn't seem to wait as many seconds as you enter
2) When using with an app that hides notification bar its a pain to switch focus and stop the script without 20 other apps being opened. Maybe use a floating icon interface like gameguardian or gamecih use? or allow a hot-key to be set for start-stop? Seems like it always ends up crashing while I'm trying to close apps that it opened. If I switch focus to the botmaker then depending on the script you can really mess things up... first effort I hadn't exported, saved, or even written down anywhere and was about 30 lines long... even though i immediately hit pause when i got to botmaker the auto-taps kept going and deleted about 7 lines of my script before it crashed and shutdown
3) A working directory to save and load scripts from would be great to have. The current import/export seems a little awkward
Will download when I get 4.1

Depending on your device and ROM you can do this already. On my galaxy s3 running CleanROM I have an option under Settings->Developer options->Show pointer location. This puts an overlay at the top of screen so you can see the X,Y of each touch.

It repeats endlessly for me.
Just 4.1+ ?
I see definitely great potentials in this app. I will test it ASAP
Great Idea, can you please just add an a record option, It's really hard to know the coordinations i want.
Again, Wonderful Idea
Brilliant idea.
It would be good if you could record gestures for talkback and assign them to widgets / navbar shortcuts.
For example, I`d like to add a widget / icon in the navbar or home screen that would emulate swipe down - then - swipe right as this pauses talkback. My wife has brain damage and is blind and the gestures on Talkback are a right pain in the arse!
I have a Nexus 4 running PA with Franco kernel and I put the said action in, hit play and it kept going over and over. I was unable to pause or stop it. I had to reboot the handset.
That said, this is a marvellous idea. Being able to record complicated multi-point swipes and assign them to a softkey/widget would be fantastic. There could be a security risk (potentially) if the app records silently and stores touches on the pattern unlock.
Good work, OP, good work.
Works great! The was able to take the X Y from my CM10.1 D2VZW and have it drop an item from Ingress! Would like to be able to copy/paste action lines or repeat action etc for repetitive tasks.
Please keep up the good work! I'm very excited about this project.
Very nice app, congratulations :good:
I've recently been doing research on how to inject keyEvents to other applications for the Glass on Android port, and the only way I could find was to create an InputMethod.
Could you please give me some insight as to how you achieved this? Did you have to use the NDK or made use of some hidden API?
been waiting for something like this for so long! thanks so much dev! :good::good::good:
Have been looking for this for so long. Had looked at every inch of Google and couldn't find and there I just bumped into it today. Thanks Dev.

Yes this. I saw this and came here to give the same idea. Making a tasker plug-in with this would be too cool.
Well, actually it is possible but a plugin would be much more comfortable.
Before my Asus tf700 Infinity, I owned a Samsung Galaxy Tab. I purchased some programs and games for it, and all was well until it was stolen. The problem? Now I've downloaded and used those same apps on my tf700 Infinity, and the orientation is off by ninety degrees on quite a few. It has to do with Android's API and Honeycomb, and how the default base orientation is set in the framework policy. Before tablets, the default orientation for the Android API was portrait, but tablets made landscape defaults a possible better default. Apps not written to accommodate this would have the sensors read 90 degrees skewed for landscape default devices (like my tf700), because the sensor data is being read from landscape (regardless of orientation), but interpreted as portrait by the app. Even though my Galaxy Tab was a tablet, it's default orientation was portrait, so there was no 90 degre skew. I have read enough to know that it's possible to change the Android system default value, but it has to be changed in the framework . . . No easy task, especially if the rom is ODEXed.
So . . . anyone have any advice or fix so my paid apps aren't wasted money? I don't think emailing every single developer is the key, when I could modify a single system value to fix the problem for all apps. Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
Doesnt ever gyro-based app/game have a recalibration setting? Have you tried that?

You could try Ultimate Rotation Control. It can have an individual setting for each application (Forced Portrait/Forced Landscape/Forced Auto).

The problem is that the data the app is getting is from the sensors is rotated 90 degrees. For example, if the app assumes the tilt data it is getting is from the left and right: tilt left, go left. On my tablet, it's default boot state is landscape, so if the app is asking for the sensor info the wrong way (a deprecated way - from before the Honeycomb API), it's getting the tilt axis from the top and bottom, so: tilt up, go left. I can calibrate, but I still have to tilt up to go left.
Sounds like badly programmed apps to me. Have you tried asking the devs to update based on the correct APIs?

I had hoped it would override the default framework, but apps were still polling the sensors wrong no matter which orientation they were displayed in. The sensor data was rotating the same amount as the app, but the original sensor data was still originally off by 90%.
Thanks for the tip; Ultimate Rotation Control is a good app that solved another issue I had, just not this one.

Yes, that's the consensus. Some I've asked, others are no longer in active development (nostalgia for holding onto these apps). I stumbled upon a web hit while googling for answers, the solution was about changing a simple setting in the android framework, but I'm a not experienced with ADB, and things like ODEXing and DeODEXing are nerve-wracking while I learn and experiment.
Also, thanks for coming sbdags. Running Xenogenesis since late April, fantastic job! :good:

Which part of the framework do you need to change?

Navigate to the androidpolicy\com\android\internal\policy\impl folder and open PhoneWindowManager.smali in your favorite text editor (Notepad++ is my favorite)
Search for the method "rotationfororientation"
(Picture of code here)
Make note of the variables (v#) for portrait and landscape (in my case portrait is v5)
Scroll to the end of the method and you should find something like:
"move v2, v5" (make sure it's the last move command before the end of the method)
Change the second variable (in this case v5) to whatever orientation you wish to be default. In my case I have set portrait as the default orientation.

There are other steps, but this is the only variable changed. I can't post links yet, and I didn't want to copy all of the text there, but that's it. The attached picture is the picture of the code.
Eureka!

Dear friends,
As I was also facing the same problem in my Ubislate 7C+(EDGE) tab by DATAWIND. While reading your post an idea struck to my mind. With the help of Root Browser app I navigated to /system/build.prop, opened it in text editor and in "ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES" changed the value of "ro.sf.hwrotation=270" 270 to 180 saved it and rebooted the tablet. Yes! the problem was solved but it created a new problem that the orientation of animation while boot and camera orientation has changed now but in order to rectify it I pulled bootanimation.zip to my computer and after unzipping it changed the orientation of animation files from portrait to landscape. Changed the orientation in 'desc.txt' from 480 800 to 800 400 and zipped both without any compression. Pushed it back to /system/media and changed the permission, user,group to original one with the help of root browser. Then for camera orientation with the help of root browser I navigated to /system/etc/camera.cfg opened it in RB text editor and changed camera orientation from 90 to 0, saved it and rebooted my tablet and now all the games using gsensor tilt are working fine.
Thanks,:good:
rotation gyro off
I had the same problemen, i resolved it by going to setting, location and then status (only GPS) then i started GPS tools , just waited a min or so . now everthing is oké again.
I hope thuis helps you
