I'm aware that Adobe Ideas app has been discontinued on Android but it makes me wonder if it's possible to somehow make the older app (.apk file) run on my brand new Galaxy Note 12.2. The .apk file is still floating around internet.
I tried installing it but it just wouldn't start. Is there some sort of a hack around it?
Dying to get this app.
Thanks in advance guys!

I bought this app when it 1st came out & even with the gimped Android version it was still my favorite art app. I had the original Note 10.1 & it worked fine on it so you can imagine my extreme disappointment to find out I can't install it on my Note Pro. I really hope some sort of work around gets created to rectify this. I will frequent this thread but my hopes are not high.
Have you thought about Sketchbook Ink or Ink - Sketch, paint, draw? I've used Sketchbook Ink for a while and really like the results for the most part. It's a very simple interface and for the most part everything works as expected. I prefer sketching apps like ArtFlow or Infinite Painter, but for scalable graphics you can't go wrong with Sketchbook Ink.

Yes, I've thought about using Sketchbook Ink and as far as I know, it is indeed a really good app but I would still love to get my hands on Adobe Ideas to draw some of that vector goodness. Adobe Ideas had and option to export your project in a vector based format. That's the gamechanger. Thanks for your suggestions. :good:

Ink is a great app, I love it but I gotta say for me Ideas was lot better for my needs. The smoothing was incredible & as you stated that vector goodness was delicious(although I always wished it had more than 2 layers, my only gripe with it). I want it back!

I agree completely. We should get a team together and make an app that does all the stuff that Adobe Ideas did and more. Imagine if you could outline type and edit it on a fly. That would be quite something. I guess there are a million different things that you could throw in that kind of an app. One thing is for sure, tablet market is growing really fast and designers are adopting. Well.. at least trying to do so. There is demand but no one seems to be noticing it.
I'm a designer myself and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't mind making a UI for such an app.
How about some Inkscape? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.gimp.inkscape Judging from the reviews, it's a love/hate thing and may not work at all.

Hey everyone! I am interested in making a list of Android Tablet-Compatible Apps. Could you do me a favor and list the ones that you use that are compatible with your tablets? I'd really appreciate it!

What do you mean "Tablet-Compatible"? If you just mean apps that run ok on the Tab in fullscreen mode, then that's going to be a BIG list as the majority of things work fine.

I think he means apps optomized for the tablet form factor and size; apps like pulse. This is as opposed to apps that simply scale well like the Kindle app which works fine and scales fine but the whole applications i still the same exact app that is the one being used on 3-4 inch phones. compare the regular kindle app to the iPad version of the kindle app and you'll see the difference between something that works well on a tablet and something designed to be used on a tablet
That's exactly what I mean, is optimized to run on the Tablets as compared to optimized for a 3-4 inch phone.

Yes and you see it also when you look at the apps Samsung created like for example the email app and the calendar app. If you change to landscape mode you get a split window view which is really nice on a tablet.
I'm an app developer myself and right now I'm hesitating if I should write apps for tablets. I think there can be a lot done in this respect. The dilemma is that Google announced specific development support for tablet apps in honeycomb. This creates the question if one should develop for the tablet right now and do a lot! of extra work or postpone it until Google releases a programming framework that makes it a lot easier to create ui's on tablets. Though question.

See my response above. It is really a question if we are going to see tablet specific apps on short term
It is, probably tough, to decide to have to potentially do things twice, but I'd expect that if you think you can pull it off to ship even a month before others get their apps coded with new APIs and such, there'd be a tremendous advantage to building up first mover and the app to be measured against.

I am personally thinking that with the boom of android tablets that is about to happen and the release of honeycomb that is bound to follow, that people who get in on the train early can reap some serious benefits...
But, to each his own I guess. I will keep looking!
Good day guys!
I've always used a laptop as my main PC, mainly because I can bring it to university, now I would like to build a desktop and would like to use a tablet to connect remotely to my new desktop and type any notes of documents directly on my PC.
As I would be taking notes/writing documents, it would be necessary to have a keyboard dock, I'm not too sure how the thing with docks work, if only some tablets can have them or if there are universal docks.
Additionally, it would be great if the tablet could play Full HD, or 720p at the very least
Price limit could be up to $500.
Thank you very much for your help everyone!
P.S.: One more thing, separately from the hardware, what is the best app available to do remote connection?

$500 + tax? lol well here we go, You didn't ask for screen size so I'll give some 7 in ones too.
All tablets have an HD resolution, but the only one that has Full HD is the Prime Infinity. To be honest each one has a great screen. Some tablets come with a dock that's is meant for them (Asus Transformer Prime and Galaxy Note 10.1) but each tablet also can be paired with a Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse if you want. Also you can use a USB input dongle with the Note and Prime so that you can use a regular keyboard too (kind silly though =D).

For me it works pretty much with lag doing light task. So typing and make notes should be a breeze. However, you may experience lag if you are trying to watch a movie on it. I got lag when I tried it out, but I think it is because the GPU on my device (Galaxy Player 4.0) is not powerful enough. These device either have Mali-MP 400, Tegra 3 or Tegra 2 which are far superior. So I hope this helps you, and if you want I try and post reviews of each device.
Wow! Thanks a lot! I wasn't expecting such a detailed response!
From the suggestions you gave me I had been looking at the first three, the other two look really good too! I had been leaning mostly towards the Asus, although the Note also looks tempting, I'll have to do some thinking.
I've also had the galaxy tab on my watch, but it looks like the Asus is better.
Thank you!

Lol yeah. But it isn't like super customized. I just use Go Launcher EX, and tweaked some of the objects using their theme maker. It took a while to find the images though, and I had to photoshop many of them, but it came out well.

You can get a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 refurbished on Amazon for $340. This is what i use, it has amazing battery life and a very clear screen! If you remote connect to your desktop it will waste a bunch of battery, but what you can do is type your notes on your tablet and sync them with Dropbox so they will automatically be shared with your desktop. Dropbox is AMAZING! I highly recommend it if you haven't checked it out!
I've been reading a lot about the Note 10.1. Frankly, tablets are a luxury for me as I already have a decent desktop at home, and don't really like carrying more stuff than I absolutely need, when commuting 2 hours back and forth every day. And I already have the Note 5.3, which frankly is a little over rated for its s-pen integration.
But now I want the tablet, thanks to all the marvelous reviews and comments I've seen! One burning question which I have is games. I'm not a heavy gamer but there's one game which I really liked on the S2, which doesn't work on the Note: Adventures of Tintin. Can someone confirm whether this game can be installed and played in the gorgeous mode? Rather than the laughably ugly 2D mode?
Another question: how good is video editing on this tablet? I'm asking this in behalf of someone who's considering getting an ipad with imovie (spelling?).
Lastly, is it easy to create or edit powerpoint slides with the Note? Its fiddly on my phone, but I imagine it to be much better on a larger device.
TIA!

I downloaded it to my Note 5.3, backed it up and side loaded it to the Note and it comes up saying, device is not compatible with this game. Please request a refund. So it would seem it doesn't work on the Note 10.1

Of course you can create or edit powerpoint as you like and its better on device have a big screen like Note 10.0 , and it come with Polaris Office preinstalled app , more easy

Thanks for the replies. I'm kind of sad about Tintin not working on the 10.1. May I know of it runs in the"gorgeous" mode on your 5.3?
Yeah, you're right about editing ppts, it should be a lot easier on a larger screen.
Now I'm just waiting for thoughts about video editing.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Wow, that Tintin game downloaded over 830MB of data into the phone to even play.
anyway, I honestly can't tell if it is in gorgeous mode. I don''t see any mode setting anywhere. It looks like it is. lol

I'm shopping for a new tablet and I'm considering the note 10.1. Best Buy currently has them for $350. That seems like a pretty good deal.
My question is, is this still a good option? Are there good, solid, stable ROM's out there?
Is there anything else I should know. It seems like this tab has the ability to be pretty good.
Thanks for any input you have.

You'll find no other device at the same level with Note 10.1 at that price range

I really like my note. If you want the Spen then it is absolutely great. I take so many notes on it for school and it is extremely convenient to be able to multi task during lecture. Really i use this more than my laptop. I turn off wifi (sometimes the tablet) at night and with use at school (like 2 hours a day) for notes i can get a few days out of it sometimes a week, it depends on how distracted i get during a lecture and play games Anyway, I am really glad i got this tablet. If you dont think you will use the Spen then go for something else because it really is the biggest reason to get it. And IMO it is pointless to get this tablet to install CM10 or PAC on it, because the Spen doesnt work as well after that if it even does work. Message me if you have other questions, i will try to reply...
Thanks for the replies. I wen t ahead and bought it. But if anyone else want's to throw in their thoughts on what's good and what to avoid that would be appreciated.
Welcome to our community
There are many ROMs to choose.
ARHD (that I use) is close to stock ROM.
Boeffla kernel is enhanced kernel with OC feature.
Install Boeffla Config if you flash Boeffla kernel.
Flash Noozxoide if you want sound enhancement.
Boeffla kernel also features Boeffla Sound enhancement.
Choose a case wisely before buying one.
Strong magnetic field may "damage" wacom digitizer.
For apps....
I use 2 Office suites: Quickoffice by google & AndrOpen Office
Quickoffice is an Office suite for offline & cloud (an office suite that was bought by Google)
AndrOpen Office is a ported version of Open Office (a full office suite that was a default office suite in Linux)
Linux default Office Suite now mostly is Libre Office, a fork of Open Office.
For S-Note alternative I use LectureNotes & Write
LectureNotes is Bitmap based & Write is Vector based.
For navigating I use Waze.
Very usefull to avoid traffic jam & in some country it can show you the nearest & cheapest gas price too.
That's all for now.
Just ask if you have any questions

And for some "play with my device" thing you can use AccuWeather for weather forecast, Android Tuner for some infos and tunning your device,
Moon+ reader for reading an e-book and e-magazines and best app I ever seen is Lux Dash for automaticaly brigtness and so called Night filter -
it's useful when you are using your device in night or dark room and everybody knows after while eyes crying and even headache can appears,
so this app according your location recognize if in your country is NIGHT or DAY and night filter is for your eyes safety.

It's not nearly as sharp as a full HD or UHD/Retina display, but I've had zero issues wit it, and I do quite a bit of reading and stuff on it. I wouldn't worry about the screen unless you're really picky and willing to put more money into a nicer screen.
Hi,
The fact that the Note pro came with a "pro" Office suite convinced me to buy this tablet rather than the 10.1 format. At the time, every critic said Hancom Office offer was great, but I didn't really read any thorough review of the Hancom Office products so far...
I've been using Hword and Hshow quite a lot and had no problem with the former one. But, Hshow seems to be pointless so far.
I am able to create or modify pptx files with ease, and in that retrospect Hancom is doing a good job... As long as the files stay in Hshow.
BUT, the .pptx files, weather I create them from scratch or I edit files created by colleagues, they all end up being unreadable on Microsoft Powerpoint, which is a big problem when all your colleagues use that piece of software.
Have you guys encountered the same issue? Is it a popular bug, or do I need to have a factory reset on my tab to get that fixed?
Thansk for your help!
A
I haven't checked......I never need powerpoints so I never use hshow.....I imagine if its a glitch hancom would like to know about it though. Its a major flaw if its true for everyone.

Thanks Wingdo. Indeed recording the files in .ppt format works.
But it's still a pain when you have to work with .ppts files you've been given, you're likely to lose a few things.
On top of that, Hword tends to crash regularly when I take notes in meetings...
I came to a point to hope that Microsoft will release Office for Android soon, as they did with the ipad.
Let's just say that for now the Galaxy Note Pro is not quite yet ready for professional productivity work.

Agreed, IMO they shouldn't have labeled it as a Pro model to begin with. As we have already seen many consumers will have expectations of it being a laptop replacement and while that may be true for parts of the market there are limitations due to mobile platform compromises that lead to disappointment.
