[Q] Resizable Widgets? PDF app - HTC Jetstream

Hi guys
2 questions:
1. Are the Sense widgets resizable like the other HC widgets?
2. Would someone be able to describe how the pen can be used in the PDF app that HTC have included. I.e. what exactly can you do with it?
Cheers

The Sense widgets are not resizable, but they look nice at the size they are.
The PDF app that comes with the Jetstream is PDF Viewer.
It allows you to highlight PDFs and write on them. You can choose the highlight color and ink color for your markups and drawing/writing. Nothing you can't do with a printed copy.
If you are looking for sticky notes and serious annotation, check out ezPDF or Repligo. Both are more robust. You can use the pen with both of those apps as well.
They are paid apps and cheaper in the Amazon Apps Market....
Hope this helps!

Looking for a video app that minimizes taskbar icons

Hi
Basically I'm looking for a video app that works similar to the gallery video app wherein it "minimizes" / dims the home and time icons etc in the taskbar but has the ease of use and functionality of say moboplayer.
Cheers
Don't think it exists yet. See this thread for more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135600&highlight=moboplayer
Folks are looking for Devs to institute the feature.
Thanks for that. I'm definitely hoping that either the moboplayer dev or at least one developer implements this. It definitely adds to the user experience being able to hide or dim those icons into those dots

Calendar Widget for cyanogenmod

Is there a calendar widget like in sense that covers the whole screen? I tried a few but they dont get bigger when u edit them they take up more space.
I was looking for that too. The only one I have found so far comes in Android Pro Widgets.
thanks looks good

has various sizes, you can also resize to fit full homescreen - if your launcher permits

Any suggestions?

So far I am using ADWLauncher EX, Aldiko, Astro, Elixir, and Extended Controls. I mainly want my Nook for reading books so does anyone have a suggestion for anything better or that will combine some of those?
Also, is there a disc cleaner or defrag app or is it even needed?
Also looking for a simple calendar app which I have not been able to find the right one. All I want is a simple text showing the date and month like "16 January or January 16th". Nothing else, one line of text and no other graphics. If this was tied to a full blown calender that I could add stuff to is a plus but not really needed. I have tried simi clock, simple calendar widget, and elixir so far.
Well got rid of Elixir and Aldiko (found that Mantano is better for me). Anyone got any ideas for my calendar problem?
what kind of book formats are you using?
i usually end up using the kindle app for pdf...just put the pdf into your kindle folder and restart app
kingsoft office (which was free) for editing documents and reading
There are probably other options, but I've been using Fancy Widgets and it has an option to add the date to the clock widget. I personally have an all-in-one widget at the top of the screen with time, date, and weather.
I also use Android Agenda Widget on my phone, and it shows the current date with a summary of upcoming calendar events.

I use smooth calendar widget is very simplistic. For the date in text you could make it yourself using minimalistic text.

Thank you so much, minimalistic text was what I was looking for, now my nook is complete!!!!
Anyone know how to get only 1 "page" instead of the 5 I can scroll through now?
Just put in CM7 and using ADW launcher pro of that helps, was able to do this before I put in CM7 but forget how to do it.

what are some good apps for the scribe?

got my new scribe today, and i love it..besides the built in stuff, what other apps utilize the pen?
If you're on Honeycomb try Quill. Also there is the Sketchbook app (from AutoCad, I think) but you can use pro with Honeycomb.

great! thanks! gonna check them out now.. and yup I'm on honeycomb

Quill is definitely the way to go if you wanna take hand-written notes. Much better then the stock app. The writing is really natural =)
I just got my Scribe a few days ago and am looking for some good apps too. Sketchbook Pro is really good. I haven't tried Quill though. I wonder what else is out there
just used sketchbook and it rocks. is quill worth the dollar? lol. i like the built in pen menu on htc notes app... does quill allow you to use that too?

Once you're on Honeycomb, all apps support the Scribe. That's aprt of the reason Honeycomb rocks on the Flyer.
That said, here are a couple that benefit from the scribe:
Fresco - a painting program with pressure sensitivity
Drawing Pad - a simple drawing program for children
Citrix Receiver - a front-end for Citrix based virtual machines and applications. When connecting to a Windows 7 VM it's nice to have the stylus' fine selection point.
Quill is worth the dollar. I have been jumping back and forth between the stock app and quill to take notes and it's night and day for me. Quill seems more accurate and has more options.
I also heard there was a game "what the doodle" that worked well with the flyer/pen but I haven't tried that.
I do a lot of note-taking and idea-sketching for work. Quill is definitely worth $1. I have tried it and its pretty nice. But, found one that I actually like better, WritePad Stylus. (You can search for it in the Market.)
Quill, Writepad Stylus, Lecture Notes are all very good for note-taking. To quickly jot stuff down, I like Whiteboard Pro (was free on Amazon the other day). Foxit is my favorite for pdf annotations. I wish someone could port MyScript Stylus (universal stylus input) from the Lenovo app store. That would be a killer app!
howcome nobody liked the stock htc app for quick note taking? i think it's cool that it's evernote. for example, when I was in sketchpad and i hit the pen green button, it didn't bring up pen settings.. only, take a screen shot, notes, etc. that's what I mean. In quill or something, when I hit that, will my diff choices of pens, colors, sizes etc come up?

getting writepad now..some people say it's better than quill on the reviews
ugh, here's why i don't like it though. you can't hit the green pen button to bring up different choices of pens.
and it just crashed my flyer lol
------
trying quil.. btw, apparnetly quill is on sale, only 49 cents.
I'm pretty sure the only app that will use the green button to select pen styles is the built in HTC app.
All the 3rd party apps use their own pen selection methods
gothca.
i'm liking quill a lot, and for 49 cents, that's a deal
Check out trace too. It lets you load an image then trace it then remove the image

If you could suppress the keyboard I'd have no issues with the stock app. I like it better than Quill in terms of its support of the erase button on our pens and the fact that, since it's not vector based, you can erase in a more natural way (Quill forces you to erase entire lines).
However, every time I use the built-in notes app, the keyboard pops up almost as soon as I start writing. It only seems to enable palm rejection after you've started writing with the pen.

MyScript has already been ported. Check it out here. It's my favourite note taking app at the moment, but not for drawing (didn't even try it in that way). The only think I dislike is that it only let's you export one page of your notes at a time (at least in handwritten notes). Enjoy!

Hmm, that is Notesmobile and FlexT9, not MyScript Stylus.
Thank you anyway.

EZPDF now with HTC pen integration

Just to let you guys know, the more recent version of ezpdf now has palm rejection for HTC Scribe. As far as I'm concerned, the only major thing you give up using ezpdf over the PDF Viewer is the eraser function.
However, ezpdf has much better capabilities to do variable pen widths, to resize and move annotations. Combine this with the general superiority of other functions (for example, ezpdf has a strong bookmarking feature plus has the ability to remember where you last read-to), and I'm pretty much set to move over completely to ezpdf when using the Flyer.
Thanks for this!

Wow now scribe editing with ezpdf is really smooth. And it works fullscreen with a hidden hc bar.
I only wish it wouldn't auto save after every annotation. Pdf viewing is only a tad slower than repligo , but their pen support is terrible.
