Note Taking w/ Papyrus - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps

I just wanted to start a thread on Papyrus 'cause I like it a lot. I've attached my first try using it in class. Hope this helps y'all.

I've tried Lecture Notes and Snote on my Note 10.1 2014 and wasn't very happy with those apps.

Me, too
I like Papyrus a lot, too.
I had encountered a bug where Papyrus was crashing on export of a certain note, but that is fixed now.
Thank you Papyrus!!

However, today I encountered a nasty bug....
I was editing a 32 page PDF, putting in lots of comments. Then I tried to export to PDF, and Papyrus crashed. It crashes every time I try to convert that note to PDF, which means that now Dropbox syncing of PDFs doesn't work any more - it crashes every time when getting to that document. Since you can't selectively disable syncing for one document, I can either delete my note or give up Dropbox sync to PDF....
I hope this'll be fixed soon...

See two attached sreenshots. The main advantage is that every thing is much more fluid than in ezPDF. No need
to click on an icon to start annotating - just use the pen. You can zoom, pan etc. while annotating.
And, an update to my problems above. So, you can backup to the cloud, but you can only restore all notes at once,
not a single note. So, I can't backup delete the offending note , and restore it later when needed. Too bad...

This app is very good to note,but my papyrus can not update to 1.0.0 , it cannot annotate pdf ,so i root it, and install google play, its very not lucky, my p601 is continus reboot. The only way is to flash it, i flash the singarport s rom, omygod ,papyrus can not be installed in china!

How is papyrus different from S-Note? which one is better in term of short note taking?

What's the problem you encountered with s note?? Wondering if a lot of people are facing the same issue I'm having. . I have shifted to lecture notes. .

Papyrus has MUCH better performance for annotating PDFs (writing performance, ease of beginning to write, etc.). The interface is the same for PDF writing as it is for normal note taking/writing.
You can enter a view mode and export to JPEG, PNG, or PDF.
Note the PDF import is a paid add on to the free app.

S-Note does not have very good PDF import. You can only import from the "Recent" main menu. The file management is pretty poor too in my opinion. I like lecture notes better than S-Note but even with the Lecture Notes settings suggested on XDA I still don't see great writing performance.

See my comments above for how it is different. I think you would be fine either way with S-Note or Papyrus for just note taking. Both are free. I just prefer Papyrus.

I tried to use Papyrus in past but couldnt make it work with FolderSync to bakup my notes. Syncing content was limited only when you bought extra plugin. I started using Note Anytime https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metamoji.noteanytime and sticked to it. Opposed to Papyrus it offers 2GB sync service and deleting parts of strokes in its free version. It is worth trying.

Tried and deleted. Lecture Notes far exceeds it.
Via my Note 3

I tired this and love it. It's definately smoother than s notes and less complicated than lecture notes. The only issue/suggestion I have is that they put the eraser tool on the main tool bar instead of the color picker. The color picker you use every now and then if at all, the eraser is used frequently so I don't get why it's buried in a menu. Erasing with my finger makes no sense for me as I could accidentally erase something and I would prefer erasing be more deliberate.

Tried it and loved it. Deleted Lecture Notes.
Only one thing I don't like. It would be great if I could just save directly to the memory card.

Maybe somebody here can answer or refute my concerns. I gave it a quick trial.
It seems like it's either low res or now smoothed as far as pen stoke rendering goes. Any options to change this? Just doesn't look smooth. especially at the end of pen strokes.
Does importing the pdf remove searchable text. If so, i'll need to continue using ezpdf.
Is there anyway to get the gestures and the side button to work? maybe i'm doing it wrong.

1. Pen stroke rendering is not adjustable. It only has the stock mode.
2. Yes there is no search function.
3. Can you elaborate. I don't really understand what you are asking.

for 3, the tutorial at the beginning mentioned using the side button to access selection tool and other things. They also show some sort of gesture (up/down/left/right swipe) to do a few different functions but i couldn't figure out how to use it.

Have you tried 'Write' for taking short notes? It does everything I need...

Quick question, my friend bought the premium pack to edit PDFs, anyway I can get the files of him or apk or whatever I need and put it in my papyrus folder to make me have the premium version?!

Revolutionary Facebook app (screenshots)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746020
first off: i am in no way affiliated with the developer, or development, of this app. i am simply promoting it to show my support/appreciation for a great app and dev!!
im hoping most of you know about this app by now, but for those who dont, i URGE you to try "Flow for Facebook" (free and paid on market, paid is well worth the $2). OUTSTANDING developer who monitors his XDA thread and Twitter....definitely a user's developer.
This app is revolutionizing facebook for android. Flow has LEGIT push notifications for everything (through GMail). you simply link your facebook notifications on facebook.com to your gmail address, and whenever youre notified the Flow app intercepts the GMail notification and displays it through the app's interface (includes notification popup and quick response...similar to sms popups).
It has almost everything you could want from a facebook app (it doesnt have scrollable widget or chat just yet). The UI is slick and clean.
I cant say enough about this app, but i fully support this developer...check it out for yourselves.

Looks like the UI has a fresh coat of paint since the last time I looked at it. Thanks for the screenshots. Ill definitely check this out.
LOVE the popups. I emailed the developer to see if he'd be interested in designing a Google Voice popup app. Since Google has their own set of API's for Google Voice SMS, no one has been able to make a popup notifier ala Handcent or SMS Popup. He may be able to grab the notifications via Gmail the same way he does for Facebook.
I have used this app before. I dont think its a revolutionary app as the title describes it. However, this is definitely one of the better unofficial facebook apps out there. It has a huge downside to it.... Its way too slow than the official app.
The best thing about this app is that the developer is continuously updating it and making improvements. I uninstalled it a couple days ago for the sole reason of it being slow.
Another good feature of this app is that you can browse ‘pages’ and all groups - primarily the reason I installed it at the first place.
Just my two cents.

when sthe last time you used it?? he has made serious speed improvements of late. there have been about 3 updates in the last week alone. he cached all photo info and cut photo loading time by more than half.
also, just yesterday i was trying to view album photos in the official facebook app, and it took over a minute for the entire album to load.....in flow, the same album took less than 15sec. not exaggerating.
im not saying this app is perfect...by any means....but im not misleading in any way either

I didn't say you were misleading. I merely offered my review of the app. Im sure xda members will benefit from more than one review. I found the app a bit slower than the official one, even after the updates. The last time I used flow was couple days ago. As I mentioned before, I did see improvements and that the dev is very active in terms of updating the app and improving it. I had seen alot of FCs as well on the last day. That might be a phone specific issue. The app, however, is definitely better. I love the fact u can browse pages and groups. Having said that, I reverted back to using the official app until the dev perfects this app.

I paid for this app thinking I was gonna be able to use what appears to be a 4x2 widget, but when I select widgets from menu it places a 1x1 little computer icon on my page! What the heck is that? It looks like a widget in the screenshot, but I guess it's not. The black box that appears to be 4x2 is what I'm speaking of.
I tried the free version and I must say that's it's nicely made. I don't know why someone can say that it's slow, cause it ain't. Pictures load really fast, the popup is cool, etc, and the UI imo is more appealing than the official one.

Yeah I just back out of the app, opened it back up, it gave me an error going into messages, backed out, opened it back up.
Now its all gravy
Id say its faster than the 1st party app now.

I've been using Swype beta tablet edition, and using the SPen to do my Swyping. The smaller keyboard is very unobtrusive, leaving a lot of room for conversation threads in messaging, or text boxes anywhere else, and the SPen makes it really accurate, and super fast. So much fun. I think I get funny/curious looks when I use it to take notes in class though. Haha. Swyping with the SPen is actually faster than my real handwriting, so it's working great for me taking notes as well.

I've been using Smart Keyboard for almost a year on my HTC Inspire, Skyrocket, and now my Note. Every month or so I make the rounds and retry the popular ones (stock, Go, swype, swift, etc) and whatever else is new, but I always come back to Smart.

How do you get the swype beta to install over our default swype version on the ATT note? also, can I keep that beta on forever or it's a trial sort of thing.

You have to root and use something like root explorer too remove the old apk and lib files, then you well be able to install the beta. And I'm not sure if will last forever, but Swype had always between free, so I'll just install the latest version when this one becomes obsolete.
You should be able to find a decent enough tutorial somewhere if you need help with uninstalling the old one...I could look it up and explain, but I'm on my phone and it would take more effort than you searching for it.
OK, got bored in class, so I decided to write it up quick. First, I assume you're rooted. Then, using root explorer or some file manager that allows you to see root, go to system > app > delete the Swype apk. Then, go into system > lib > find and delete the file that starts with libswype......etc. Then you should be able to go to Swype's website and download the installer for the beta.
Hit thanks if I helped!

I use Swype when I want a swiping keyboard, but it's currently broken on the Note and I have no idea if it will ever get fixed.
When I just want a standard soft keyboard, I've found Thumb Keyboard to be my favorite.
Thumb Keyboard 4
SwiftKey X Tablet
I'm brand new to android but am really loving Swype. So far I'm probably a bit slower with it than a stock keyboard, but I can tell I can definitely get real fast with it. Plus it feels super smooth with the s-pen and people will definitely be taking notice when you're swype texting like that with the stylus.

Simply backup the existing LatinIME.apk to say .bak, and copy the one from this zip into /system/app folder, and you are good to go.

[Q] Z Ultra Multi App/Window ability on latest software (vs Note 3 etc.) ?

Hi All,
I'm still torn between getting a Note 3, Z Ultra and potentially the One Max...
I don't want to start a fan-boy style mine is best others are rubbish session, each has pros and cons for me otherwise I wouldn't keep changing my mind... BUT:
One key factor for me with the Note (and now even more with the Note 3) is the multi-window and now the small apps windows capability.
Now from youtube videos I have seen the mini apps function available from the running Apps screen. But from what I have seen, it only allows for one of these at any time. But I also remember reading that this was going to be enhanced and that multiple apps would be possible.
So, does anyone have any more info on this, anyone able to confirm if any such functionality has been introduced with the most recent software updates ?
At the moment, my ideal device would probably be something like :
Z Ultra Body finish, Screen Size and Waterproofing.
Slightly rounder corners, Smaller bezel, removable battery like Note 3.
Speakers and Fingerprint reader off HTC One Max.
Permanent hard buton and/or capacitive buttons like Note 3/One Max.
Camera from Note 3 but with Ultrapixels and OIS from HTC.
Sounds a bit non Ultra, but these are not all equally weighted and the Big Screen & Waterproofing would carry a heavy weighting for me...

Multiple Apps is possible then. Excellent.

Hi unk_damnation,
since you are being particularly helpful, would you be able to answer a slightly different question ?
I need to enable password lock due to company rules. I'm trying to determine what can be operated with the password still enabled. i.e. what's possible quickly if n a hurry. I know the camera is available, I was wondering if it is possible to launch a quick note taking app etc. from the standard lock screen (with password enabled) ?
Thanks,

Looks like such functionality needs some tweaks. There is already an Xposed module to bypass lock when opening apps from notifications in lockscreen, but IDK if bypassing lock from lockscreen widget is already implemented somewhere by someone.

I'm still torn between getting a Note 3, Z Ultra and potentially the One Max...
I don't want to start a fan-boy style mine is best others are rubbish session, each has pros and cons for me otherwise I wouldn't keep changing my mind... BUT:
One key factor for me with the Note (and now even more with the Note 3) is the multi-window and now the small apps windows capability.
Now from youtube videos I have seen the mini apps function available from the running Apps screen. But from what I have seen, it only allows for one of these at any time. But I also remember reading that this was going to be enhanced and that multiple apps would be possible.
So, does anyone have any more info on this, anyone able to confirm if any such functionality has been introduced with the most recent software updates ?
At the moment, my ideal device would probably be something like :
Z Ultra Body finish, Screen Size and Waterproofing.
Slightly rounder corners, Smaller bezel, removable battery like Note 3.
Speakers and Fingerprint reader off HTC One Max.
Permanent hard buton and/or capacitive buttons like Note 3/One Max.
Camera from Note 3 but with Ultrapixels and OIS from HTC.
Sounds a bit non Ultra, but these are not all equally weighted and the Big Screen & Waterproofing would carry a heavy weighting for me...

Hi unk_damnation,
since you are being particularly helpful, would you be able to answer a slightly different question ?
I need to enable password lock due to company rules. I'm trying to determine what can be operated with the password still enabled. i.e. what's possible quickly if n a hurry. I know the camera is available, I was wondering if it is possible to launch a quick note taking app etc. from the standard lock screen (with password enabled) ?
Thanks,

I use an app called Unlock with Wifi https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benhirashima.unlockwithwifi&hl=en
What that does is remove the screen lock requirement when you are connected to certain wifi networks. So you could negate the need for a screen lock pin when at home and at work and still require it when out and about.
Or you could just install xposed and disable the exchange lock completely. I personally don't like that idea though.

I just found that app setting module in xposed can do exactly this! Haven't tried it but from the description it should. There's a "show when locked" option that can overlay the app on top of your lockscreen so you can fully access the app w/o unlocking. Safer than the unlock on certain wifi alternative (but hey, bypassing lock is never safe) - but this solution only works IF the app itself provide a lockscreen widget so you can access the app w/o unlocking in the first place.

Does it look and feel like the old 10.1 multiwindow? If you are unsure about how it looked, could you post a screen shot? I just don't want it to work like the "floating windows" app where everything looks too small and distorted.
I would appreciate it. I'm on the fence about returning it and just picking my old 10.1 back up. This and the new sNote are about as annoying as you can get. Since I don't have a choice (yet) on snote, does the new one work ok with this mod?

It's different from old 10.1. I installed it, it's the same way as it is on new Note but you can add additional apps to the list. It was the same way on Note 8, but developers here added cascading option, similar to old 10.1. I'm sure it's only question of time to get that option on new 10.1.

So....while more functional (apps are able to be added), it still produces the same distorted windows as the new 2014 floating widow does?

Was planning on rooting today but probably won't get to it between work and school. But thanks to your help here, it will be the first thing I do when I get a chance.
One thing I noticed with your pic was there is no icon to shrink or expand the window like it has the old 10.1 MWM. The icons appear on every app that is activated to use the mod. How do you control shrinking and expanding? does it begin with the new method of drawing the square?

LectureNotes: is it better on 10.1 2014 vs the old 10.1?

I'm a big fan of LectureNotes on my old 10.1. The only real issue I've had is some slight lag (fixed by returning to stock ROM) and jagged letters. Although other apps like Papyrus, Quill and Jotter have some level of jaggedness, LectureNotes seemed to have the least smooth lines. I partially blame this on the low resolution of the old tablet.
Before taking the plunge and upgrading to the 2014 edition of the 10.1, I'm hoping someone who's used LectureNotes on both devices can answer this question for me: Are the lines still jagged? Does the higher resolution of the 10.1 2014 make the lines look smoother or just enhance the jagged edges?
I know it's not likely that someone has both devices, but I'd love to see some screenshot comparisons.
Alternately, if someone with a 2014 is kind enough and has the time, would it be possible to take a screenshot of a few words written with a black pen with the following settings:
Line width: 0.8
Opacity: 100%
Softness: 0.06
No pressure or velocity sensitivity
And in Filter Input Settings: Savitzky-Golay set to 5
(I know it's asking for a lot, but it would really help me decide if I want to buy a refurbished 2014 unit that Groupon is selling for another 36 hours)
I never had the first 10.1. But I can tell you there are no jagged lines on the 2014 edition and writing is so smooth it's enjoyable.
Here is a screenshot, but I was reluctant to post it because it seems SO MUCH nicer on the screen in person. I feel the screenshot dropped the resolution.
And regarding the line width, my pages are set to max resolution so keep that in mind.
{
"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"
}
I like nice screens and that's why for me the new note is a lot better. But keep in mind the higher resolution means that LN has to render 4 times as many pixels which you can definitely feel. On the old Note LN is smoother, but probably also because the rom is more fleshed out.

How do you set the line width and smoothing to those exact values? And can I do it for all my pencils rather then 1 custom one?

@arty93: All properties of custom pencils can be adjusted in the custom pencil settings. You can open the custom pencil settings via the menu item in the pencil menu, or if you are using the pencil toolbox, double-click on a custom pencil.

You're right; it's hard to tell from the screenshot but it "seems" smooth...
In any case, I bit the bullet and will have a chance to try them out side-by-side.

I hope it's not too bad. When I detected just a hint of lag while using the S-pen in LectureNotes on a custom ROM, I found it unusable.

Honestly, I take notes on lecture notes everyday and if you can't stand lag then this is probably not the right tablet for you. Every configuration that I've tried on here has had some sort of lag and although it bothers me I really like not having to lug around a ton of notebooks and textbooks! So in the end for me the pros outweigh then come.

You're missing something then. I'm telling you, lag is a huge issue for me as well and it is so spot on. I write extremely quick and take copious amounts of notes and this thing is a champ.
No lag for me, except with multi-window on. Instead of multi-window I use various floating apps when needed, browser, pdf viewer, etc.
I can tell you I found LN much better on the 2014 version. My 2012 version was unrooted, and I kept hitting the bar at the bottom of LN hitting the home button or back button and poof I'd be out of LN until I got it reopened and going again. Also, although the screen real estate is the same, the 4 times better resolution allows for a lot more information on a page if you actually need to print the page.

You just push the lecturenotes folder to the external sd card. Also export your lecture notes settings.

I can't seem to notice any lag when it comes to pen input. Yes there can sometimes be stutter when switching between apps and thing like that but the pen itself has improved a lot over the original note tab.

@notebooko: To backup the whole notebooks board, select `Backup notebooks board´ in the notebooks board's main menu. This will create a single ZIP file and issue a share intent so that you can directly transfer the ZIP file to your new device. To restore the notebooks board from such backup, select `Restore notebooks board´ in the notebooks board's main menu (note that this entry is only available if the notebooks board is empty) and select the ZIP file of the backup.
To backup the settings on the old device, select `Backup settings´ in the app's settings, this produces a file `settings.xml´ in the app directory. Transfer this file to the app directory on the new device. To restore the settings on the new device, select `Restore settings´ in the app's settings, this reads the file `settings.xml´ in the app directory.
I don't get it , I'm getting unbearable lag with text entry. I can't bear to use it. It's been the same no matter the setup since I got this tablet. Is there some special setup involved?
Edit: The setup is me getting smarter. Somehow i had force gpu rendering on. Sorry for hollering while dumb.
Just updated to kit kat and restored all my notebooks and I must say that the difference in smoothness is night and day. There is no longer even the slightest pen input delay and everything is extremely smooth.

For some reason, Lecture Notes became very laggy after flashing Hashcheck-Hybrid. I had CleanRom installed before and Lecture Notes was perfectly smooth when writing with the Spen.
I'm using the same settings (both fast rendering options checked) but get a ton of lag. Tried disabling those options also but got no improvement.
@forceOnature: It seems that some custom ROMs enable `enforce GPU/hardware rendering´ by default; this slows down LectureNotes a lot, as pointed out by guthrien.
