Although I do appreciate the functionality already in HTC Notes, I have been spoiled by Microsoft OneNote for many years.
Below are some of the features available in OneNote that I would like to see in HTC Notes version 2.0.
• Ability to expand the space between handwritten notes to add more handwritten notes.
• Ability to create color-coded tabs to notebooks. (sub notebooks)
• Ability to select handwritten notes to cut, copy, and paste.
• OCR for searching directly within HTC Notes. (aside from EverNote)
• The ability to add standard shapes to notes (circle, oval, rectangle, triangle, arrows, and stars)
• Different note page templates (to do list, meeting agenda, calendar and legal pad)
• Ability to snip pictures from other applications and paste them into notes.
• Ability to add active hyperlinks
• Put the pen options in a smaller horizontal toolbar. (The semi-circle takes up a lot of screen real estate.)
Non-OneNote features
Ability to send note to DropBox.
Ability to integrate with OneNote.
What additional features would you like to see in HTC Notes?
Must say... great Idea.
I agree that the Notes app is lacking quite a few features.
Some of ur features seem to be common sense on a notes app.
kind of disapointed they are not included... however I still think that HTC has the best Note taking app implementation on Android as of yet.
I would like it if they made it so the lower button on the pen made the pen act like a finger

I also thought that I must be perfect when you can switch between pen and finger mode for the pen self. Then we can use the pen in all(!) applications like a mouse for marks and so forth...
They should let you choose if you want a note that only accepts pen input. I often find that I trigger the keyboard when I don't want it and you could avoid this if it just never came up - kind of like when you're annotating a page in the Reader.
I'm also using OneNote, and used EverNote before. Actually I prefer OneNote over EverNote.
My wishlist:
Ability to disable keyboard
Rich text editing on the device (I can create on the desktop and view from the device but I can't make text bold, italic, underlined or change font size on the device).
Ability to make images bigger or smaller, or crop them inside Notes app.
Zoom in and zoom out features
Ability to retain formatting when copied text from Android browser.
I also share these wishes:
• Ability to select handwritten notes to cut, copy, and paste.
• OCR for searching directly within HTC Notes. (aside from EverNote)
• The ability to add standard shapes to notes (circle, oval, rectangle, triangle, arrows, and stars)
• Different note page templates (to do list, meeting agenda, calendar and legal pad)
• Ability to add active hyperlinks
• Ability to integrate with OneNote.
• Ability to snip pictures from other applications and paste them into notes.

You can send images and text from Android browser to HTC Notes by using "Share" feature. For example, long press on an image, tap "Share" and tap "Notes". The problem is, the text loses all the formatting, making tables etc. unreadable.
I am glad so many other folks would like to see HTC Notes developed further.
The "snip" function that I was referring to was the ability to circle an image or text and copy and paste it to notes.
Another awesome app would be a Snag-it for android. I use that tool several times a day.

anyway we can get HTC to find out about what we think might make it better?
^^ DOnt think so
Does Flyer have "Pen" to text?
Can we use the pen to send SMS?
I would like to combine more scribbles in one note. Currently it always takes a snapshot and I can save it as new note, but a popup menu allowing me to attach the snapshot to an existing note would be perfect.....
I'd like to see the spiral graphic go away, because it's just not helpful. I'd also like to be able to scroll infinity on the horizontal axis for unruly diagrams and tables.
Some kind of markdown-style structured text formatting would also be nice. Not WYSIWYG, just smart wiki-ish text parsing.?
I can probably post something to HTC support with a link to this discussion
They might listen if they find out that there is a group out there interested in using a "HTC Notes Premium". I would pay for more functionality.

I agree.
Another point is, there is no list view of notes. Also, everyday I use evernote, I wish I could zoom in and zoom out on notes.
I also wish there was an easy way to "unhighlight" highlighted text.
About the Spiral graphic
I think the spiral graphic is helpful
If you hold it, it actually disable all other input, except the pen, making it only pen usable.
wouldn't want that taken away
And I really need to resize the pictures. They are just too small if you have scribbled words on them.
Free the pen
This isnt necessarily a wish list for notes app but for the pen in general. Free it! by that i mean add an option to disable the scribble mode when touching the screen in any app that doesnt support the pen. with this option it would allow the pen to work as any normal capacitive stylus.
I like the notes app, but im looking forward to some of the handwriting to text apps that are coming to android soon and these would make the pen complete.

By the way, keeping your finger on the right side of the screen works for left-handed folks.

I think there is a bug in HTC notes preventing rich text notes that are created on desktop to be found when searched on the Flyer. This is really annoying!
Anybody experiencing the same?
I wish you could be able to flip the page in between notes like the reader app.
Color code notes is a good idea someone already mentioned.
Ability to scroll page to the right with double finger scroll
Pen to ocr would be amazing
Be able to edit a screenshot after you save it.
Be able to change the resolution of a screenshot. (bigger)
Annotate a whole html page instead of only parts from it.
Be able to make a notebook sync or unsync after setting it.
At the end of this tutorial you should have something like this:
Essentially, I swipe my thumb from the upper right side of my phone (I'm right handed) and I have access to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and can just drag my thumb over whatever app I want to get to right away...
I can then swipe my thumb from the lower right side of my phone and have access to these:
Of course, this is my setup...so you can do something similar or not, but you get the idea. You can use whatever hotspots you choose too. If you want a set up like mine with many apps to access and different pads for different hotspots, you need the More Space add on[/B (paid)].
APPS YOU NEED:
1. Swipepad
Swipepad is the second best app in the world for me in terms of how useful it is in terms of general smartphone use (first would be Titanium Backup hehe)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android&hl=en
It's free with paid add ons. The free version works perfectly fine for me. I just got the More Space add on for..more space and more swipe pads haha and to support and give thanks for such an awesome app. If you want to have more than 1 pad though, you'd need the more space add on.
Essentially, you choose whatever hot spot/s you want (which are invisible), you can adjust the size of the hot spot to make it easier/harder to trigger too... You can then swipe from those hot spots and your swipe "pad" shows up. In your swipe pad, you get to put whatever apps or shortcuts of your choosing.
The hot spots are accessible no matter what app or game you happen to be in (be careful not to put it somewhere that could get in the way of your games though).
Paid add ons: Keypad, Widgetpad, More space. None are necessary for this tutorial but would be super useful for you.
2. Nova Launcher (or whatever launcher you prefer that has similar shortcuts)
Nova Launcher is an alternative launcher based on the AOSP 4.2 launcher. Very similar to Apex (I don't use Apex so I don't know if you can do something like this with it though). I don't know about other launchers either though they probably have some similar way of doing this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZXNsYWNvaWxzdy5sYXVuY2hlciJd
3. Optional awesome floating apps to use in conjunction with this...I highly recommend AirCalc (free) and Floating Notes 2 (or similar floating note type apps..there are several out there, both paid and free)
STEPS:
1. Download the needed apps
2. Make Nova Launcher your default launcher app. Set it up however you want. Skip this if you already have your launcher set up the way you like it.
3. Go to Swipepad, you should be greeted with a tutorial but it's pretty simple to use.
- You'll probably see a red bar somewhere on your screen. This is the default hotspot location which you are free to change later on. The hotspot is invisible once you exit the app.
4. Under the GENERAL tab...
- Check "Enable SwipePad"
- Check "Indicator icon in Status Bar" - This keeps it always running. No affect on battery life, I promise.
- If you don't like having the indicator icon visible, feel free to check the "Transparent Icon" option though it might bother you that there is a random empty space among your notification icons.
- Other options like "Haptic Feedback", "Sound on Launch" or whatever are optional. They work as described.
5. Under the HOTSPOTS tab...
- You'll see an option to change the size of the hotspots, the default works fine for me but my thumb is quite flexible and muscle memory has made it super easy for me to swipe from the spot each time without missing. You probably won't need to change this unless you find you're having a hard time swiping from it. But trust me, it gets easier after the first few times you use it.
- You'll see a list of hotspot positions. Choose a hotspot/s of choice.
6. Select Default Pad. The other options require paid add ons.
7. Customize your SwipePad!
- To customize your swipepad, swipe from the hotspot you chose (it should now be shown in red). For as long as you have your thumb on the screen, you can see your pad. Just drag your thumb to whatever portal, the portal you're hovering on will turn orange (if its empty), lift your thumb off the screen, then you'll be able to choose what you want to put in it.
If you want to simply put applications, then just select applications, and choose your app of choice for that portal. Do the same for the other portals.
You can hide unwanted portals as well.
If you want to put shortcuts such as particular app activities, bookmarks, a particular contact, direct dial, direct message, whatever other app shortcuts..then select shortcuts and choose from there
Other functions like "Home", "All Apps" and "Context Panel" are also pretty useful.
Home - takes you straight to your desktop.
All Apps - shows you something like a drawer (non customizable) of all your apps sorted by either title or by recent use. You can also search for a particular app from there too.
Context Panel - takes you to some special functions for whatever you app you are using.
> You can share the app (as a playstore link)
> Go to the app's Google Play page
> View Application Info (force stop, enable/disable notifications, disable the app, clear data, clear cache, clear defaults, view permissions)
> Force stop the app
> Uninstall it
To change a portal link you have already set, just hold your thumb or finger over that portal for a few seconds, it will be highlighted orange (instead of blue) and then you can change it.
You can stop at 7 if you're happy with just shortcuts to apps and whatnot, but if you want portals to link to showing the Notification Drawer, your App Drawer (customized), Recent Apps, Search, etc... then keep reading
8. To have portals link to showing your Notification Drawer, custom launcher's App Drawer, Recent Apps..and all that jazz. Do step 7, choose a portal, select Shortcuts, select Nova Launcher. You will then see a list of shortcuts to Nova Launcher's functions such as App Drawer, Expand Notifications, Recent Apps, Search, Voice Search, Nova Settings..the others (like Toggle Notification Bar, Dock, etc.) won't work if you're inside another app.
Tada! Now whenever you want to access your swipepad, just swipe from the hotspot/s you chose, drag your thumb or finger over whatever portal you want (it will be highlighted blue when you hover over it), then lift your thumb or finger off~
9. You can easily access and change stuff around in SwipePad by accessing it from its Notification. You can also customize and change portals around even if you're not in the Swipepad app itself. You just need to open the app to start it up initially and it will always run from then on until you disable it again. Again, this won't affect battery life at all and doesn't use much RAM at all.
10. If you do get the More Space add on, you can create a new pad and have a different set of shortcuts on that pad..As you can see from the screenshot, I made a second pad entitled "Quick" to access stuff like Apps Drawer, Notifications etc. You can do this by doing step 5, then selecting "Add More", you will be prompted to type a name for the new pad. Then do 5 again, and select that newly created pad.
- You can change the number of portals per pad under the ADD-ONS tab in the SwipePad app. 4x3, 4x4, 5x3, 5x4, 6x3, 6x4 are the other size options. Again, you can hide portals you don't need to create the perfect size for you. 6x4 is the maximum though.
- You can also backup and restore all your pads too.
Hope you found this helpful and that you get inspired to create your own set ups from this tutorial of mine. Best of luck! Feel free to ask any questions.
Suggested shortcuts:
- Notification drawer (no need to try and reach it with your thumb or have to use your other hand to pull it down)
- Home (save your home button!)
- Recent Apps (save your home button!)
- Torch
- Camera
- Direct call/message your usual contacts..or just a shortcut to your SMS and Phone apps
- Screenshot
- Volume settings (under shortcuts -> settings shortcuts)..there's probably a way to access this (and brightness) immediately without going to their respective setting screens. I'm lazy to find out how now lol
- Brightness (under shortcuts -> settings shortcuts)
- Browser
- Note taking or voice recording apps
- Aircalc, floating notes/stickies, a floating browser, etc.
- Home
- App drawer (or All Apps)
- Context panel
- Quick post
Edit:
The most recent updates to the Swipepad and Morespace addon have added many new features that allow for MUCH easier editing of portals..like you can move them around, there's a dedicated portal editor interface, unhide hidden portals individually, customize app icon label position (hidden, above, below icon), even more grid options etc..
Definitely worth checking out, IMHO. I know there are contenders out there such as swapps and sidebar, but I find Swipepad to be the most polished and straightforward.
Agreed. Swipepad is one of the three most important Android app for me. The other two are GMD Gesture Control and Tasker. These 3 apps are the reason i can never go back to iPhone.

Under the General tab inside the Swipepad app..I believe there's an option to unhide all portals
LMT pie controls work great for me.
Looks nice but I personally love the simplicity of Button Savior. I can set what icons to show / and how long it will show. When I click that little arrow, the buttons show up for 1 second before disappearing. With the new update, the sizes are even smaller and more discreet.
For me using a android phone without swipe pad is a pain, n for phone as big as note it's indispensable, u can also add simple redial, a free app,
But on the downside this app is vry slow on updates (features) need to add many features which will eventually make it a complete launcher app,
One great feature could be live widgets on the pad, I fear if it's even remotely possible, but if done I wud never use my launcher anu more as I open all apps from Google search assigned to a spot

Hate to tell you, but android had gesture apps long before the first iPad even came out.
great thread with an awesome app find. thank you!
This is another similar app that I use on my device https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5maXZlcHJpbWVzLnJlbGF1bmNoIl0.
For those on touchwiz n other launchers, u can't set notification pulldown shortcut, i tried n searched in the play store didn't find any app,n hence made my own , place it on any slot preferable at bottom, n voila, hit thanks if it's useful, made from scratch on my note 2, without a pc

I've been using swipepad since my Evo 3d and recently with my s3 and now with my note 2. I have noticed swipepad slows the system down some. Can you guys tell me if you encounter the same. Download Epic Citadel and run the benchmark test with swipepad enabled then disable it. The framerate slows down and instead of my 45fps it goes down to 38. It also affects my quadrant frame rate.
Now I know these test are just numbers but unfortunately overall usage is affected as well for example in gaming like mc4, or nova 3. The framerate drops from time to time vs when I have swipepad disabled. I'm running stock rooted but on Tmobile.
How to use swipepad to launch from the bottom bar.
The default is set to launch googe search when swiping up from the bottom bar. How to change it ?
Thanks anon for the nice write-up. Can anyone tell me if the 'More Spaces' add-on has smaller portals than the default included one? Also, can the add-on allow you to shrink the spaces between the icons on the portal? It's really too wide! Cheers all!

Definitely yes, it has these sizes you can choose from:
4x3
4x4
5x3
5x4
6x3
6x4
6x5
7x4
7x5
7x6
I've been using SwipePad since Gingerbread. I've tried similar apps but nothing is as easy and simple as SwipePad. This app needs more love!

I recently updated my tablet from Kitkat to Marshmallow and realize that "Dynamic Pads: SwipePad add-on" doesn't work as Context Panel. From other reviews in Play Store I get feedback that this problem started a long time ago in Lollipop. Context is shown not for active app, but for active Launcher.
I overcome this problem yourself easily because I have rooted device, I moved "SwipePad Dynamic Pads" app from user apps to system apps. Now it works again as it should. Probably some app's permission restriction in LP/MM...
My wife installed the new Contrast theme on her Note 3 (4.3.1) and it won't show the correct email count (other themes do). The correct amount of unread emails in her inbox is 120, it is showing 650.
I installed it and did not have the same issue on my Nexus 5.

Hi Red,
This is a new feature we are using to make sure the correct amount of unread email is showing. This is actually all of her mail (drafts, spam, etc.), and is used as once it's all cleared up, it gives less errors than just the simple inbox counter (due to gmail's new Social and Promotion tabs).
To fix this, try this:
1. Hold down on the homescreen - Unlock Widgets - hold down on the bottom area - configure.
2. This will open the Zooper editor - tap Layout - look for the "You have 650 unread email" - select it.
3. Select Edit text manually - change #SUG^all# to just #SUG# - then exit.
4. Remember to go into Themer Settings - Advanced - Desktop - lock desktop widgets.
Hope this helps!
According to this Youtube review, Action memos have been removed from the Note 7. Is that an issues for you? I will miss this myself.

Pretty sure Action Memo was merged into S-Note. At least I think that's what I had read in a changelog somewhere.

There is no S-Note anymore. Now it's Samsung Note. They say it merges all the tools there existed before, but though i can see it for S-Note and Scrapbook, i can't find anything similar to Action Memo in it.
I went in the store to fiddle around with a Note 7 they had on display. To be clear, I've owned a Note 4&5 and used Action memo and S-Notes quite a bit.
There are three items I see missing from Samsung's including in Samsung Notes as well as three shortcomings, or changes, that I don't like.
1) There is no more Link To Action. Period. Which is a HUGE bummer - since I used it almost daily to scribble down a number, and then link-to-phone dial it. That or using the link-to-task for crap I had to remember. ** please correct me if I am wrong here - I couldn't find it in the app or in the additional installable add-ons.
2) When you are in an Action Memo and press the home button to pop back to the launcher such as for running another app, the little "chat-head" style memo icon is no longer. This is the same thing as the Minimize function on the Menu. One the 4/5, you could drag it around the screen and tap on it to go back into the open Action memo. Not any more. On the 7 you have to open SamNotes, and a message pops up saying your note was saved and you have to open it from the list. It isn't waiting for you already open. Not 100% sure about using Recent Apps key to switch back into it.
3) The "Return To List" menu option is gone. Can't get back to the list of Action Memos from an open memo. Getting back to the list of Notes seems more convoluted on the 7.
Changes that I don't like:
1) The Action Memo widget is changed. On the 4/5 you could Pin to Home if you were using Sammy's launcher and have a 1x1 or 2x2 representation of the Action Memo. One the 7, you can still Pin, but it is a 5x1 (wide, not tall) sliver of the note. It's scrollable and can reduce the size down to 4 wide x 1 tall. no more 1x1 or 2x2. Another bummer. There goes my page of action memos widgets. I'd have 5, 10 or more pinned on my go-to page for reminders.
2) The Set Reminder is a small alarm bell icon at the top, which is only active once you saved the note.
3) The Glance option can be used once the note is saved. On the launcher, it can be dragged to one of the four corners. It pops up when you hover - but won't when you tap it. And you have to delete the Glance for it to go away, which is just crap.
So, there is action memo on note 7? As you said widget has been changed. How do you access it if gone from the pen menu?

I use Action Memo a lot. It makes no sense why Samsung would combine that with S Memo and just make it into one. The whole idea of Action Memo is to access to it quickly. By combining it, there are more steps to get to it, that's my understanding from watching that video.
If enough people complain to Samsung about it, maybe they will do an update and put it back in the air command and leave it the way it was. I know Samsung is trying to clean up Touchwiz, but this was not the way to go about it.
somebody found it..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMQs3K_e9l8
although I couldn't do it.... either hoax or I missed something!
I watched that video before and I don't know what to make of it. Best we can do is contact Samsung and let them know we want Action Memo back. Doesn't make sense why they would take away one of the best features from their Note series.

He posted a Part 2 - and said he put a link in the comments although I didn't look for it.
I'm gonna head to Verizon tomorrow or over the weekend and try to get it working his way. If I can get it reliable, then maybe I will get one.
Really pissed Samsung would pull this awesome app with very useful features. Without it, its like Apple Pencil or a Wacom tablet: great for drawing within a specific app, but not worth the price....

I don't have the Note 7 in front of me to be 100%, but I believe there was a downloadable add-on or extension that allowed for S-Note widgets. I may have called it Action Memo widget, but it may now me called S Note widget or something similar.
That's the first thing I'll be looking for when I get my Note 7 tomorrow. It's not a deal breaker for me. I tweeted Samsung about it already. I don't know if they will address my disappointment to the right department.
it's true.... uninstall latest version... get old version.... it works... eve With nova launcher.

mmmm... interesting.... I didn't do anything special... you could try opening s note app first then close... other than that I don't know.... just play around.. or uninstall and start again.
definitely works.. link to action etc etc
DONT FORGET TO PRESS SPEN SIDE BUTTON WHILE DOUBLE TAPPING!!
oh yea widget also works so you could try that also
to be sure..... download all the extension packs available within app I gave..... two wouldn't install for me... but three did
Guys....you're overcomplicating this.
Just hold the S Pen button and double-tap to get it back...it never left; you just need to hold the button down now.

Hi all my First Post as new member, (I think I was a member a long time ago, but no email search works)
I have 3 Android devices, my trusty old Galaxy S5, TCL 4K UHD TV and now new TAB7+5G.
Anyway I am trying to change my Lockscreen Image from original but can't seem to find a way and I did search before this thread, I have changed Homescreen Image OK, but not Lockscreen.
Appreciate any help,
Thanks
Ash
There is a service that will change the lockscreen image daily. Go to settings - wallpaper - wallpaper service - enable.
It would have been nice for samsung to enable the service to work for home screen wallpaper too.
Go to wallpapers and when you pick on it asks you which to use for.... home or lock screen.

Hi thanks for that But the Lockscreen Settings are either None (what came with Tab) or Dynamic which gives you options of about 4 category titles and then others within each title, BUT you must have WiFi on and they must update every 2 weeks to change LS cycle.
I don't want this at all I just want to set my own Lockscreen to my image as I can do with the Homescreen (use my image).
Guess we have different tabs.
Edit: Not sure why can't upload a screen shot.
When I go to "Wallpaper" in settings I see my current home an loclscreen images at the top, below that I ..
My Wallpapers
Gallery
Wallpaper Services
Apply Dark Mode
If I pick either My Walpapers, or Gallery and then pick an image I get a meny that asks me where I want to apply it.

Well finally got it,
Because I First added a particular single Jpeg Image from my Mega Cloud it saved in Gallery to a folder called Pictures first when I bought Tab new.
I also use a Recovery App for images off Twitter, etc....some I save and "restore image' from same app.
The image goes in Gallery in 'Restored 'folder.
Even though Gallery has 4 options in bottom of screen the Picture option Only has my Restored Images and not THE Picture I want as Home and Lockscreen.
As I said Yes I can use My jpeg as Homescreen Only as it gave me no other options, BUT when I copied this same Jpeg over to Restored Folder and opened up image there were the options to add to Hone and Lockscreen...so it worked.
Anyway all good, just the usual learning BS with Sammy and their control with OEM.
I am going from Android 6 to 10 in one hit, still learning.
Thanks.
