I wanted to share an app I found. It's free on the market (there's also a donate version). It's an incredibly smooth Facebook client. It has a nice UI and notifications (with a wide range of refresh intervals). Best of all, it seems really light on battery. In my opinion, it's worlds ahead of anything else available. Let me know what you think.

Hmmm... I don't allow "anything" permissions to do anything on or with my Facebook. If you choose "Allow None" it puts you in a loop consistently asking you for the same permissions. Just not going to happen with me. I'll stick with the standard one.
Why does this app look so close to the official app? I mean REALLY close.

It's modeled after the mobile website. The official app only recently made this change.

Haha after googling the package name this is the first thing that popped up. This is actually my app so thanks!
The app FBM is just a wrapper for "touch.facebook.com" that has been tweaked and had a few additional features added. I've actually just published an update which will hopefully fix the notifications bug (which have been a bit intermittent for some users). I still have a fair bit of work to do with the photo uploading and sharing but unfortunantly due to work I don't get to devote nearly as much time as I would like to towards it.
@Cozmo1 - the permissions thing is a little annoying and one day I'll get round to tidying it up. I added that loop in when I added the "Upload Photo" feature so that I didn't have to deal with different permission sets between users. Some of the permissions are not even used such as the access data 24/7 one but when I first wrote it I thought I might use it.
Anyway, thanks for the mini-review Simba501 If anyone has any issues just PM me.
I suppose I'll give it a go. Thanks for sharing
Hi
I can not push the button for upload a picture.
Is this a bug?
Yes this is a nice Facebook app

Since I haven't submitted 8 posts yet, I can't post links to the app page on the market. To see the app, search for "LectureNotes" (all one word) in the market, and it will be the first to come up. If you search for "Lecture Notes" (2 words), it will be a little way down the list of apps.
I am a college student that purchased a transformer prime and an adonit jot pro to replace my laptop and to allow me to take hand-written notes. I have searched for almost month for a good note app, purchasing and installing around 15 note applications, and I have been disappointed by each one of them. LecutreNotes goes above and beyond all of my expectations - it is by far the best hand-writing note application on the market today!
It has everything you would expect from a hand-writing application, as well as the ability to easily select areas and cut/copy/delete them. There are a bunch of settings for changing the way you zoom and scroll while taking notes, as well as settings for paper height, width, type, line size, and line color. On top of that, there is also a very handy feature that keeps the screen from locking while the application is open.
If you are looking for an app to take notes with a stylus, this is the one to get.
OP spelled the name wrong
here
Just tried it and it sucked. Probably the worst that I have tried.
What did i spell incorrectly? (so i can fix it in the post)
thank you in advance!
I have no stylus, just finger.. but don't care for it all that much. I wish it had the ability to launch the camera from within the app, so for that it is extra steps. I personally still like the stock one a little more.

Thanks, theching14. I have tried LectureNotes and like it a lot! It works quite well with my JotPro stylus, and does not seem to have the "skips" when writing small looped letters that I experienced with other handwriting apps. I particularly like the scroll and zoom bars, the custom pens, and the ability to rope and move text.
It would be nice to be able to create folders and store notebooks within them. I will suggest that to the developer.

Has anyone compared this one to Quill? I was just about to buy Quill when I found this post.
Seems like a pretty solid app. Been using writepad stylus which has been fine and is fairly similar. But the ability to zoom is a pretty big plus for this app so may switch. Cutting and pasting is nice as well. Probably won't use it much, but for those few times it definitely would be nice.

I have tried Quill, and although it was pretty good, I found the main drawback being that there was no scroll bars. First you had to Zoom, then scroll the page, then un-Zoom. You could write in the zoomed in screen. Quill did have palm detection (can toggle this to appear on bottom of screen), while LecureNotes currently does not.
Quill did not appear to have any "highlighter" pens that would not overwrite existing writing. I like to be able to highlight previously written content.
I've tried several Android handwriting apps, and they each have their pluses and minuses. I've been taking notes on their features, and plan on posting a write-up soon.
So far, my favorites are LectureNotes and Antipaper Notes.
Hi folks,
I am the author of LectureNotes, I was glad to read that the app is useful for you. Sorry for joining this forum and this thread so late, but I learned only very recently that there are couple of forum threads related to LectureNotes.
Note that I uploaded v1.12.2 today with a couple of minor additions, the most important one probably being the possibility to choose the directory where the app stores your notebooks.
Best regards,
Markus
Dears,
I use LectureNotes (=LN) with HTC Flyer and so far there's no better. No Quill, no Papyrus. Stock one is unfortunately worse than all... Go and buy the paid version along with LectureRecordings (it's also paid). It is far worth of each penny.
LN has a really wide setting range. You can change settings from a variety of choices. You can add layers, add image, add sound (with LectureRecordings which I immidiately installed), create custom pens, make highlight pens, add keyword and search, organize with folders, customeize the paper color, scheme etc everything...
It automatically recognizes the pen of HTC Flyer and it supports pressure sensitive. Set the pen buttons for different actions. Export PDF with vector graphics and full background.
If you have a active stylus tablet, just spare a few bucks to buy this LN +LR. You will never regret and will carry no notebook anymore...
Markus did really a good job, thanks many...
Murat
nice prog
Anyone know a good stylus that i can use to write notes.

@hlimbu00: Most users recommend either the Adonit J-Prot or the Wacom Bamboo stylus, this is a bit a matter of taste.
Hi, I searched this forum and didn't find what I wanted.
After using the Asus Keyboard on my 300t, I noticed that the swype like action is only functional under certain conditions. When Browsing, using SuperNote, or Polaris office, it works very well. BUT when I use another apk--- say with a simple AutoCompleteTextView field, I only can hen peck.
Does anyone know how to enable a apk to fully utilize the Asus Keyboard.
I found this annoying too. I've installed Swype (beta) and found it works well, much better than Asus' attempt.

Unfortunately in my case using theTF300T' swype crashes continuously! ANDing to that iiritation' the email support address for the beta of swype bounced, so no support as yet. I still wonder what stops the Asus Keyboard From working on some apps- Does anyone have thoughts on this. ¿

No, I had noticed though and it drove me crazy. Good thing I really only use the dock to type now lol
Really though, no idea. Maybe someone or a dev could pick through the apk's code and offer some insight?

Thus far, I have tried:
AutoCompleteTextView, and
MultiAutoCompleteTextView.
No help.... -- I am guessing that the apk somehow signals to the Asus keyboard, the sort of support it wants. BUT I haven't been able to see any document to that effect, etc. But I will keep looking...
I called tech support at Asus this evening. After a long conversation --- which got me no where, it seems that I will have to wait until someone who has worked more with this Virtual Keyboard, chimes in. I attempted to use hierarchyviewer to look at the widgets in SuperNote for example. BUT since this is not an emulator, I learned that hierarchyviewer is useless with a real device.
I attempted to contact swype once more and I learned a bit more. The latest beta does better, but still have issues. The very latest swype and it now says: display size not supported... But I was able to send a message to the right person, so I am now hopeful that this will be resolved on the 300t.

Hmmm. I know he's sick ATM and everything, but I wonder if we couldn't drop this by Gary and have him move it along the right channels to whoever would be responsible for their exclusive apps? Just seems to me that the feature should work across the board, I don't understand why the one keyboard app should act differently through scenarios (aside from number-only and password fields and such).
I may find the time to take a look at the apk although I'm no programmer lol
If you are rooted, you can install Keyboard Manager from the play store.
That will allow you to automatically switch to the Asus keyboard when you dock and then you should not have as many issues.
I had problems with auto-correct using Swift Key X and the dock. That solved my issues.
Good thought but I don't dock at present. I just hope they fix it!

Hey guys, just found a new app called Hovernote for $.99 in the playstore:
'It's simply a note app that hovers over whatever you're doing. In a world where it's necessary to launch a full-screen app on a ten inch device to jot down three words, Hovernote is a godsend. You can have multiple notes open, copy, paste and share from them, and even use the app on phones/tablets"
The more apps like these we get, the more I can appreciate what Android brings to the table!

Very cool. I can see how this would be massively helpful for studying and taking notes from e-books.

Hey, yeah its a great app. Will do!
Thank you mjlim for creating another floating app to add to my arsenal . I bought it instantly once coming across the android police article to show my support for more floating apps (hint: I buy all floating apps )
Woot! Another floating app bought.
Really useful app, and if they keep popping at those prices I'm gonna buy all of them ^^
Read the save locally feature is being worked on... the app is looking really neat. Great work

Currently, no. I might do one in the future, but for now you can purchase the app and try it out for about 10 minutes; Google Play has a 15-minute return window in which if you don't like an app, you can have your purchase refunded (more accurately, never charged) via a button on the app's page.
great app..just purchased
It's funny how I and another person who commented on the Android Police post about the floating app library were just hoping for someone to make a floating note taking app and a day or 2 after, there we have it!
Too cool. Bought it in a heartbeat. Thanks dev!
Got this app and I love it. I works over everything, video, office, browser. Swiftkey is active on it so spellcheck is also available. Nice.
To the author;
New features that I'd love to see. A widget instead of status bar notification and direct text file save.
Thanks!

Hi!
Just so you know, I released an update yesterday that includes:
text file read/write
window transparency
an option to turn off the notification that appears after you close the last note
I'm not too sure about using a widget, since you can only access those from the homescreen... maybe I could display a list of recently opened files in a widget eventually, though.
I've gotten some feedback on there being too many notifications, so I'll see if I can come up with some alternative means (configurable, because I don't want to force it on people) to select individual notes.

Love the app. There is a method to get it free out there but after 3-4 days (when I got paid), I bought it to support the dev.
One thing I would like to see is an option to set a default open/save location. I usually save mine to sdcard/notes/.

Thanks for buying it. I didn't include any of the licensing or antipiracy libraries because it would be inconvenient, and the app is open source anyway; I definitely appreciate your purchase!
In the last version hovernote now remembers the last folder you were in when you opened or saved a file, and that's the default next time you open the file picker.
Thanks for sharing this. Its exactly was I needed.
Great job to the developer.

Doesn't seem to be working for me then. Just tried it on my TFP and it is going to the SD card every time.
This is a good pdf app with one fatal flaw, free hand blows. I emailed the dev recently and he told me he was working on integrating s pen. If you don't mind the freehand problem, it's a great pdf app, hopefully it's fixed soon.

Actually, there is a way to make it support multiwindow. The best part is, this method DOESN'T need root.
Look at this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998133, and thank him ofc.
Download his Multiwindow apk modifier tool. You need to have the PDF Max apk, and then run it through that tool, re install it on your note and voila, multiwindow. I have it running nicely on mine. Only other problem is that you need to do this every time a new version comes out (can't update through play store unfortunately).
