Papyrus - new vector note taking app.

Noticed a lot of new software being released for the note as part of the Galaxy note challenge... galaxynotespenchallenge.com
My favourite so far is Papyrus, the notes are vectors, so you can copy and paste or move them. Still in beta, I'm thinking this has a lot of potential.

Thanks, I think this is much better than S-memo.

Thanks.
That is cool how you can use your finger to delete.
I like the organisation of the notes too, with multiple pages per note.
Although I haven't used it, I think Freenote has a better system for actually entering in and editing your handwriting. Whilst you're writing word, it lets you undo each stroke, similar to Papyrus, but once you finish a word, each word is saved as on object in the note and then you can select individual words and edit them. I think this would make going back and correcting spelling mistakes, poor penmanship etc. a lot easier. Plus I like the way you can highlight text in Freenote.
I think if Papyrus can get some good functions for S Pen button, that would be cool too.

Awesome... Got it installed now. It's pretty smooth, and I'm glad to see that the sheet size is essentially unlimited.
Anybody have any idea where the note files are stored? I can find the PDF file if I've tried to export the note, but can't find any sign of it before attempting to export.

I am on Criselkos ICS ROm and my pen is not recognized by Papyrus. Anyone else having this issue?

great app
Thanks, this is a great app !
I particularly like the fact that everything you write becomes a vector. I understand this is only a beta but here are a few suggestions that could possibly be implemented in a final version :
- if writing (or drawing) becomes a vector image, why not add tools that allow you to change size / orientation ?
- i noticed you can not (unless i missed something) copy/cut a part of a note to paste it on the next (or any other) page. This is quite frustrating if you've started taking a note and finally decided you'd rather have it on the next page.
I personally set my page size setting to A4 as a standard. That way when i export my files (via dropbox or directly send them through email) they appear in a "normal" size for computer users (including me for filing or archives...).
The feel of the writing is very smooth, sensitive and overall enjoyable. Keep up the good work !

Can someone please post the apk? Notes running AOSP ICS are marked incompatible on the market

here is the link of the apk, works for me on ics stunner

I have installed it, but the s-pen does not function whilst using the app.
There is a setting that says "enable active pen" but it is greyed out, saying "this device is not active pen enabled"

Thanks!
I can't select "active pen" in settings.
ICS Stunner.26

But the pen does work!! although a bit slow.

I'm not able to download this app from the Play Store. I'm on Stunner. I think it's because Neobuddy uses Nexus framework right now and it isn't compatible with it supposedly.

really a good app...the function i like the most is the ability to detect s-pen and the touch from the hand while writing is the best...Samsung should consider including in the S-note

Definitely still to slow but has some potential, I'm still very partial to lecture notes (ICS only), the pace that that guy update the app with tweaks is crazy, if anything he has too many settings, but the advantage is you can tailor the note taking to your style.

GNote - Note taking application (8/11/2012)

I created this application out of my need as I used S Memo for taking notes, meeting minutes and using the widgets as the sticky notes. I found memo to be the closest one but widgets was broken and I decided to create a new application based on SPen SDK 2.1
Features of GNote
1. Multiple widgets which remains even after reboot. Widgets are updated as soon as the corresponding note is edited.
2. Multiple pages with easy navigation
3. Update existing widgets note
4. Simple toolbar which can be hidden.
5. Notes Gallery for managing notes. (image of the first page of the note is shown in notes gallery)
6. Notes Gallery - Multiple notes can be deleted.
7. Images from gallery and camera can be added to the note.
8. Settings - option to disable back key
9. Settings - option to disable finger touch.
10.It remembers last used pen and eraser settings and uses the same when the app is launched next time.
11. Very smooth and does not lag.
12. Clicking on the title bar of widget opens a new note
13. Clicking on the body of the widget opens the note corresponding to the widget.
Compatible with ICS and JB.
Change Log
0.2
1. Add Images from camera and gallery
2. Layout changes to improve user experience
3. Added Settings and about screens
0.3
1. Background colors can be added to the notes. The same will be applicable to the widgets
2. Settings - Left Hand (Please report if not working fine)
3. Settings - Option to enable/disable pinch zoom
4. Notes Gallery now shows the count of pages in each note.
5. Note is saved without any confirmation. Further, you can save the note on demand using the save button. Note is saved when you navigate to some other activity or on exit of the application.
6. Some Icons changed (still a WIP).
7. Saves the notes faster. reduced the saving time by 50%.
an many insignificant fixes.
0.4
1. Note can be shared now
2. Note can be exported as a png image
3. Text can be added to the note
4. Tool tips are added to the toolbar buttons
5. Selected tool is highlighted in white(applicable to pen, eraser and text)
6. reverted the icons to holo light theme
7. Minor Bug fixes
If you find any bug please report it here. Do not forget to mention the Rom on which you are. Do not report bug if used other than galaxy note
You can donate to me by using about dialog from the application or from here. Donations are not necessary and will not have any effect on the development of the application.
Special Thanks to
g_aquarian for donation
Thanks to Devmil for his color chooser.
Please press thanks if you like my application. At least I deserve that

Put it on the Play Store.

Is there any way to upload the free apk to google play store without paying the initial amount of 25$.

Can You implement: write with pen and erase with finger?
Gesendet von meinem Transformer Prime TF201 mit Tapatalk 2

Like the app, very useful! It would be nice if we could change the background color of the widget and maybe try to steamline the widget title bar, it takes up space. All in all really like it and see a lot of potential!!
Thank you!
Marty

Customization and Background colors will come later as I need to tackle some of the basic stuffs like image and text. All suggestions than can improve user experience are welcome and are potential candidates for future releases.

Nope.
Be aware that someone can do it before you and "steal" your app by this way.
There were some cases like that in the past.
Anyway, subscribing to the thread :good:

I would have paid $25 but Indian users cannot sell paid apps currently on market and there is no way for me to regain those $25. Do you know any other alternate site where I can upload my application.

If i'm not totally wrong, you can upload your app to the Play Store, but you can't sell it. It has to be free. Or if you want to sell apps on the Play Store, you'll have to find a person (that you trust 110%) who can sell your app(s) on your behalf.

I searched a lot but the only answer I get is pay $25 and upload free or paid apps. Since, this application is free, its best for me to host it on XDA.

Have a disclaimer after installation which says "this app is free. If you bought yours, get a refund now." or something. XD

WOW!
really great application especially the lag-less writing with the pen. very impressive! even on the note cm10 preview
thanks very much
I think this should be part of CM 10 for note when it's ready. not of the ugly play store
the delete with finger idea is not that good I think - cause when I write I tend to touch the screen with my Palm rest accidently...
what i would like to See is an Option to disable the touchscreen and/or the back touch-Button --- so that just the pen is working
thanks again

Request: Screen-Off Memo feature for NOTE 3

Any chance on getting this feature?

In fact any chances of getting note 5 rom port

Adding Spen features from note 5 would be better instead of porting the complete rom and fixing all the bugs and still there happens some bugs.

Post Memo
Samsung has an app called Post Memo on Google Play. It does what screen off memo does - open up when spen is taken out when the screen is off.

Sorry to hear that. I've been using it for more than a year and never have a problem with it. Maybe try to contact the developer? There are some others who have the same problem with you in the reviews.

[APP] Screen Off Memo [Update: 21 Sept 2015]

It's been a while but here is another app I would like to share with those still using the Note 3 like me while waiting for the Note 6 perhaps.
Screen Off Memo is a feature I like on the Note 5 and so I decided to make one for my Note 3. I have not held a Note 5 yet so I don't know how the screen off memo works except what I saw on video reviews so the app may not be as perfect but it works for what I need it for. Any feedback would be welcome.
UPDATE - 21 Sept 2015
- fixed some issues with spen detachment starting the app even when unlocked
- toned the brightness of the icons as well as the pen strokes to reduce glare and offer more readability
- fixed issue with pen thickness in the v1.2 (some users like it thicker - I might include some settings to set user prefs in the future)
- adding new notes will trigger separate notification
Hopefully the issue specially on the Note 4/Edge has been solved.
Screen Off Memo version 1.3 can be downloaded below.
Install and RUN at least once from the app drawer so the app will be registered for the broadcast action when spen is detached. To enable the app to lock the screen when spen is attached, you must activate/enable it in Settings>Security>Device Administrator.
Based on user feedback I have retained the simplicity of the app. Just added ability to add new memo. Changed some icons for simpler ones. Cleaned up the code a bit to make it run faster and as little footprint as possible. Added option to turn off screen when pen is attached. And of course, it would now run on most Note devices (API 19 & above).
The app would also run on other Galaxy devices without spen but only when launched from the app drawer. But I am trying to find a way to trigger on the lockscreen maybe via a floating button but still a work in progress. I may work on it if there is demand but otherwise might just focus on the Note series.
At the moment I am testing an immersive mode version where no virtual buttons on the screen... just a whole screen of black space to doodle on and using sensors to toggle pen and eraser or the toolbar. Still a work in progress though but we'll see....
Anyway have fun and still your suggestions are welcome. But please keep the thread on topic.
It is a free app but please don't redistribute it nor modify it for redistribution. I don't mind if you include it in a ROM as long as the info page is intact.
Credits: BIG THANKS to @and2, @swiss420 and some others I don't know their xda usernames for their support.

Installed it on my note 3 but it just crashes when tried to open app.
If you're trying to make it work like note 5 then it should work when you pull your s-pen out while the screen is off.
And you can start writing on the screen and save it to memo app or note app.
Tried this app but it didn't work will wait to try it out if updated to new version. I don't know how to give you crash log. Sorry.
Nice Try @xperiacle
Edit - I got it working by changing my model number in build.prop SM-N9005

One issue I have is that when I try to reach that note in S Note, I have to pull it down, open in action memo, and then click the S Note icon on the bottom right part of action memo to open it in S Note. Is it possible to make it simpler, so that just clicking in S Note would open it in S Note?

@xperiacle I missed your genius mate. Thank you. Just a question is it possible to start the app while the screen is off or don´t i just find it? Or because i use the Note 5 Air Command?
Do you have a bit more time now? I think i´ll buy a Note Edge and wait for the Note 7 maybe there is again a sd card slot and i wanne play with the edge.

I agree, but when I write to full screen in this app, in action memo I can't see the whole text/image I have drawn in this app, I see it in a window only.

Suggestion, would that be possible to prevent the screen to wake up when the S pen is dettached and re-attached back? Like in this video [emoji14]

I think the Screen Off Memo of the Note 5 does not actually mean the screen is off. It is ON but samsung designed the screen off memo app to run before the lockscreen shows up and on exit turns the screen off at the same time. We get the impression that it is off because of the black theme used which is true black on amoled screens. Samsung can do this because it can tweak framework/system code the way it likes and since it is a system app it has almost all the system level permissions to control the device lockscreen. My Screen Off Memo app does not have the system level access to control lockscreen waking up or turning off so to answer your question, NO I don't think it is possible for the app to run with screen actually off.
I also made a clone of the Note 5 Air Command with more shortcuts but I am still polishing it. Will share when I am satisfied with it.
In case you get the Note Edge, I made some edge panel apps that I have not released yet. Just let me know and I will send them to you.

Well saving and opening it directly in Snote app is possible. I am not sure how many users would want the app to behave that way but depending on the number of feedback then I might do it that way in the next update.

Works on note 4?

s note not compatible ?!

the default app on the s8+ now for taking notes is called Samsung Notes not S Note.
when i tried to install it on the s8+ it says incompatible version a few days ago in the samsung store and the play store. Now, if i search for s note in either store, s note doesn't even come up (i' guessing because it's incompatible)
after coming from a note 7 -> s7 edge which was running the s note app just fine i find it unacceptable. For some reason only a fraction of the s notes i have , can sync with this new Samsung Notes app eg 10 out of 300+. so i can't access any of my old notes.
nor does this samsung notes app manage to do what s note functionality could do... eg take picture of slides at a conference and have the app auto crop the slide picture for you and the adjust the skew angle .
anyone got a solution ?

Samsung planned to ditch S note and try to bring the functionality to Samsung Note... This was started during Note 7...as the functionality is not replicated.. Both was working... May be thought to remove it completely out and enhance when note 8 drops.
If you notice that, samsung renamed S health to Samsung health last week

i extracted the s note app 5.2.01-25. and the extension pack. installed it on the s8+ and all my notes sync'ed
still seems to be missing the photo note functionality though in the s note app though, which is a major issue for me taking pictures of slides in lectures and conferences.
is there any other app that can correct and straighten ,and autocrop slides like the photo note function in s note ?

I my case all i did,
was on my S8+, (S Notes app)
selected S Notes , settings, to sync with my Samsung account.
It automatically imported all my notes from my Note 5.
Further,
Take a look at screenshots.
Is this what you are looking for. Photo note?
Yes, no ?
If so its still present in S Notes .
Sorry first screenshot
of pkt Raisins,( I'm busy eating)
bottom half is camera Unfortunately pic. it's not clear.

Sorry trying to edit my attachments post on my phone., couldn't.
Here's the 2 Snapshots again.
Hope it's clear.
Not sure if this what you are asking about.

that picture u've put up in s note, allows the ability to insert a photo.
not a photo note.
the difference with photo note is , if u sat in a lecture at say a 45deg angle to the powerpoint slide shown on screen and insert photo note, u can take a picture and the app auto straightens out the slide and crops it to the slide shown even though u are sitting at a 45deg angle and not sitting straight on to the slide shown. this is opposed to inserting just a photo which would show a small slide at a 45deg angle and the rest of the lecture room ! big difference.
see the attached picture
see the option for photo note which is missing on the s8 even when s note with extension pack is installed. this function is present on the s note app on the s7 edge

update:
managed to extract the photo note extension apk out of the s7 edge and install onto the s8+. now have photo note functionality again !
strange thing is there was note photo note extension to extract out of my note edge ! seems like it was already there in the s note app on the note edge
