Hidden widget gem: whiteboard pro - home notes

I stumbled across this app/widget in the Market and was amazed that such a powerful app had only gotten about 5000 downloads in half a year (evil circle - no downloads, no one sees it, no one downloads).
What the app is is a note app that has text, drawing and audio notes and a matching widget. What makes this special is the amount of customization options you have with it, especially the ability to scale it to full tablet screens without that messing anything up.
What I did was to dedicate an entire homescreen to the widget, set the background to fully transparent, activate the quick save button and set the main app to draw on homescreen which means that it uses an image of the homescreen as the background when you're in the main app. The result is that the home screen page doesn't show ANY indication of a widget being there, but when you click it, the main app launches which with the home screen background looks like some controls simply magically appeared on the home screen. I can then do notes and click and hold the save button, which brings me back to the homescreen and the widget gets updated with the note.
A picture is worth a thousand words so the below screenshots shows what I'm talking about. The first 1/3 of the screenshot shows the widget with some notes on it. The second 1/3 shows the main app which with the way mine is set up looks just like if some buttons appeared on the home screen. The last 1/3 is just to show one of the 4 tabs of settings to show how customizable this is.

The way I have it set up is just an example, you don't need to go fullscreen or transparent background or anything like that. I just thought it would be the best way to show it off as I've gone through literally dozens of note widgets on the 7.0 Plus with the same results; small widgets, not scalable, scalable but pixelated, looks like it's made in paint, etc. This is the first one I've found that actually works well on a tablet.

hahaha wow. this is legit!

[App][2.1+] Simple and small flashlight with DOGE theme 1.1. Such app, very light.

I've created a simple flashlight app, it's small (1.1 MB) and (for now) it only has one button (ON/OFF). It works with devices with no led (lights with the screen) and it has simple layout - button with transculent background, you can minimize the app by touching the background. I've noticed that most of the flashlight apps have fullscreen activities with many buttons, functions and animations. All I want for app like this is one, simple ON/OFF button so I made my own. I added the doge theme, because it's fun and popular, I don't want a boring flashlight, like the most on the market
I made this app mainly as a joke, I don't think I plan to make money out of it, it's also my first app in the market (not to count the ones I made in my work). I'm planning to do some update after my christmas break - widget, better looking button, maybe notification bar button, but in the end I want this app to stay simple. So I wanted to share it with XDA - what do you think, is there a need for ANOTHER FLASHLIGHT?

Shameless selfbump
Guys, at least tell me is it working on your devices and/or should I change/add something (but remember I want it to remain small and simple)

Yup, I was planning to add ON/OFF button to lock screen, I never saw that in other flashlights I had, and I think it's pretty obvious idea to have one. And of course widget is coming.

(there are more in the play store, or why dont you just download the app and see it for yourself?
it looks better on a real device anyway )
I would appreciate it, if you have a second or two to check out my app and maybe leave a rating or a comment, or
post here what you like and what you dont like. Also don't hesitate to let me know about feature requests
I already have some more features planned to release in the newxt few versions.
Currently the app is available in English and German. If you want to help me to translate Light Notes to
other languages, i would be more than happy.
Anyways.. You can grab my app over at the google play store (it is free)
(click)
Thanks for reading and checking out Light Notes! It means a lot to me

Release notes
1.0.0 (2014-04-13)
first public release to the playstore

anyone? :/

i've released an update to the app.
This fixes a little bug on Nexus 7 devices

So, what differentiates this from Google Keep?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I downloaded this for the statusbar note displaying functionality, and it's good although I'd be incredibly happy with it if there was an option to remove the icon in the status bar whilst still keeping the notes in the pulldown
Thanks

Looks nice, will try soon!

Interactive watch face? (Tissot T-Touch II)

I was wondering if a interactive watch face would be possible.
I used to own a Tissot T-Touch II which has 6 on screen buttons which operated some options on screen (with the hands or on the digital screen on the bottom part).

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm thinking about recreating this face (when I finally understand how to do this and with which program because I'm on a Linux machine...) but like to know if this is possible or not.
In the following video you can see how it operates.

There are some options to add the ability to open specific apps to specific spots on the watch faces. I'm using Gear Watch Designer (Windows and iOS based). I'm afraid I don't know if it will function on a Linux box.
I found the file online, made some of my own edits to it to fit my ideas and I honestly don't remember where I found it so I can't give the creator credit for the work (I'll look for it in a bit)
Edit - I found a couple decent images of the Tissot T-Touch II and the Titanium. I'm going to play with it a bit and see what I can come up with

I found this face : https://plus.google.com/104704492398430829346/posts/JxbDEaAxmVX
It comes close to my watch.
Remarks:
The outer ring is alreade on the S3 itself, the first display should be the ring with the text.
The colors are from another version
Now to find out how to set the actions (complications?)

You can use some watchmaker faces

Where can I get this watchface ?

found for watchmaker a long time. do not remember the initial source. Certainly on a G+ post for Wear watch.

Just playing with my hard drive I found my old Tissot WatchMaker watchface.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qXVmRKvVbVuSucFEXLH8lEpS6epmJz19
Press center to show/hide center display and "3" and 9" to scrool from different screen weather, stopwatch....
Press center LCD display to change display color.

How do I transfer this file onto the watch ?
thanks

Click the 3 dots (upper right) and select "import" and select the directory on your phone where you copied the faces file.

In addition, you can pin contacts and applications to the home screen to make it easier for older people to use quickly, without having to perform many operations.
