Having PDF reader on a wrist is probably pointless for most people and there's none on Google Play for Wear yet but some people are asking for it and Android 5.0 makes it incredibly easy to create such app so why not? Here's first version of such app.
How to start viewing PDF on Android Wear?
Tap share from opened PDF file in Adobe Reader and select „PDF Reader“ (same red colored icon).
Alternatively browse to your PDF file in any file manager on your phone and open it in „PDF Reader“.
Within a moment, it will be transferred to Wear. (But transferring files as large as 50 MB will take few minutes.)
How to control PDF Reader on Android Wear?
You can use touch, double tap, pinch and even double touch drag („one hand zoom“) to browse your content. To move between pages, use the dedicated controls at bottom of the screen. Page indicator can be touched to enable dictation (for skiping to specific page number).
Please note that it's not really technically feasible to support reflow in this small and free app.
Technical notes:
This app is built upon Android's PdfRenderer (and PdfRendererBasic code sample). It also uses TouchImageView from https://github.com/MikeOrtiz/TouchImageView.
Download (Free, on Google Play)
As always, feedback welcome.
Moto 360 don't show next and prev buttons

I was afraid of that. But the controls could still work, right?
I really don't know (and didn't find any answer yet) whatever I can detect the bottom gap or design the layout for both types of round devices (plus it can't be tested without real Moto 360). Maybe I will hack it just to include bigger bottom padding for Moto 360...
If you or some one else want, here's alternative version with all controls on top.
EDIT: No longer needed.
Thank's for the alternative version, now i can change pages on my moto 360. This is very useful app!

Could you or anyone else please try the attached version? In this version I detect device and have special padding for Moto 360. Does it work and are the buttons/texts fully visible?
EDIT: Resolved
Nice and yes buttons are visible and they works.
Thanks for confirming. I've just uploaded this fixed version to Play Store for everyone to enjoy.

It can display any pdf file - as long it fits your watch memory (4 GB). The only limit is for one file at any time. I would like to add some file browsing eventually but I'm not promissing anything...

As I say to you already, the app is great as it is.
You just need to find more easy and faster way to skip between pages.
By the way, how can I disable the invert mode? It's problematic when you try to do one hand zoom ( double tap and drag).

I was looking for a tool to make screenshots of my phone. But I couldn't find the 'perfect' app for it. So I wrote a tool myself.
It's called PocketScreen. It's been written in VB.NET so you need the .NET Compact Framework for it.
Attached is a screenshot of the application.
You can set a timer from 1 to 60 seconds (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 seconds)
Further you can decide to exit or focus the application after capture.
The supported filetypes are *.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif or *.png.
When you press the capture button it will automatically minimize the application.
I've tested this on a Wizard only but it should work on any PocketPC with .NETCF 2.0 installed.
Updates
Version 1.3 (10-11-2007)
Some users who tested the application reported an error when opening the directory browser. I cannot reproduce the error but I tried to 'fix' the error.
- Option focus and exit application after capture changed. Now either focus or exit must be selected to prevent the program to stay minimized in memory.
- Directory browser updated. Root is not shown.
- When an error occures while displaying the directory browser a window will be displayed with the error message. (please report)
- Subdirectories will not appear twice (or more) anymore after expanding/collapsing multiple times.
Version 1.2 (07-11-2007, 20:30)
- Settings will be saved on exit. (and will be loaded on startup, of course)
- It's possible to set the number of captures.
Version 1.1 (06-11-2007, 16:00)
- The default save as dialog has been replaced by a new directory browser. Now it's possible to choose a subdirectory to store the captured screenshot.
Nice one Rhapsody - works nicely and the ability to save to multiple file formats is great.
Apprecaite it
Appears very nice...this could be the new "screen capture" app everyone includes in their roms instead of Pocket screen Capture which will only save to the temp dir and will only save in .bmp
great tool, thank you for developing this useful app.
Works on the AXIM x50v with WM5.0 ROM A03
Thanks
Thanks for the comments! Hopefully we'll see some more threads with screenshots over here
In addition it should be great if the application could take a screenshot on a button pressure...

Rhapsody,
Just figured I'd ask..I'm sure someone will build one if not....do you have an oem package version of the screen capture program for inclusion as a package in a rom? It's basically a zip with the exe and registry entries in a certain format with the executables compressed with upx.
I may try to build one..I'm new to the rom cooking business so usually I just grab ready made packages but if the registry entries are minimal I can probably figure it out.

Unfortunately I don't have a 'oem package'. If you want to try; please go ahead
The application doesn't use any registry at all. So I think the only settings which are stored in the registry are the shortcuts.
Thanx for this great app, just what i needed...Thanx
Nice App, trying it on my TyTN II. It works, but some things are not functioning.
(I have it installed on my storage card.)
Changing the location for where to save the image is not sticky. Also, cannot specifiy a directory to save to that is within another directory.

What do you mean with 'sticky' ? The app does not remember the location.

Correct, by Sticky I mean the app does not remember the location.
As for the default folder browser...this is all I get, one directory deep, there is no way to specify a directory within these directories: (see attached image).

Hey guys... I am looking for an app for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I can use to build a set list for sheet music. I have friends that do this on ipads but haven't come across anything for Android tabs. All my sheet music are scanned or created PDF documents so really I just need an app that I can build a "playlist" of sorts from a database or a folder full of PDFs. It would be nice if this app indexed the PDFs so it would be easier to find the songs that I am looking for. In the end, I want to be able to flip from PDF to the next PDF within the app in the order that I setup.
Any suggestions?
Maybe just use a file manager like Astro?

I have that but it doesn't give me what I need. I need to preset the playlist of PDF files and then easily click through them as I move from one song to the next. With Astro, it would take way too long between songs to find the right PDF file and open it between songs.
Have you tried Planning Center Online? I haven't used it from the leader's perspective, but it works well from the participant perspective.

Just prefix the pdfs with its number in the set list, and then just use and regular file manager to open the pdfs in order.
01-Stairway to heaven.pdf
02-ice ice baby.pdf
Etc.

Try adobe reader, and click "home", you will be able to see your docs order how you want it.
Astro, Adobe Reader and all these other suggestions are great for finding a file and opening it but I really need something like I said... a reader that can create a "set list" or a playlist or sorts. I have almost 1000 pdf files. It just wouldn't work no matter how you sort them to be able to switch from one song to the next quickly during a concert. I need something that I can add the 5 or so songs to a list and just be able to click "next song" or something like that when I am ready to go to the next pdf.
I don't think i have come across anything that would do that on Android as far as being able to create a file list to go through. The closest thing i can think of is to use perfect viewer with its pdf plugin but with that you would have to do your own file management externally by placing your set of files in a folder and naming them sequentially with number prefixes. Once you do that though perfect viewer will let you cycle through the pages as if the set of files were pages in an ebook.

Setlist App: Song list + file attachments
Hi!
I've developed an app called Setlist that lets you create a sortable list of songs and attach any type of file to each song.
It comes in both free and paid version. File attachments feature is enabled in pro version.
Setlist Free: goo.gl/TAADJ
Setlist Pro: goo.gl/fgw9XY
Please give it a try and let me know if it feets your needs.
Thanks
1. Can I set the background to a default image?
2. Can I create and customize a set or "profile" for the different writing tips and colors? For example, if I like using a blue colored grid for working math problems, but a plan notebook paper background for literature (or something) could I create 2 sets or profiles to choose from so that it loads all my presets in the order I set up?
More to come as they come to me...
Thanks in advance.
3. can someone confirm that you can open two instances of snote to view to different notes at the same time?

Gina...to answer your questions...
1. Yes ... You can set the background as a default image
2. Yes ... You can have a blue bread for math problems if you like and yes you can have notebook paper for general text if you prefer both within the same notebook but different pages if you like. If that makes sense?
3. No... I think I answer this question for you yesterday but if not here's your answer again. No you cannot have two instances of s note opened at the same time. You can however have an instance of s note and lecture notes if you so prefer. I'm sure after the developers get ahold of the code they can modify it so you can have two instances of s notes running
I hope this answers your questions

First off THANKS! I appreciate the info. Secondly, I'm sorry, I worded my second question incorrectly. In the first gen model you can have a preset array of writing times in whatever color you want. That way you can just click the S-pen and cycle through the list you made. But I"m finding that a certain set of colors works better for different situations so i was wondering if I could create multiple sets of writing tips so I could have a set for math with pen tips colored to show up well against the blue grid etc.
As for the last one thanks for telling me again. When I heard that I was really REALLY bummed and almost decided not to get the note. I"m hold out hope that a dev will enable multiple instances of s-note or I may switch over to lecture notes completely. with the 25 good play credits I'm thinking I may get it. I like that you can modify the dimensions of the page. Also I've heard that it's a more powerful application all together and considering what i've heard of s-note so far i'm leaning more towards lecture notes.
One last question for anyone out there who knows.. Is it possible to quickly and easily transfer my files from snote to lecture notes while maintaing the tree structure?
Quick question for those who use SNote - does the new version allow you to import files directly from Dropbox or the Gallery instead of going straight to My Files?
Has anyone figured out how to import PDF files in the new version of S Note? I used to do this all of the time in the old version but can't find out how to do it in the latest version.

Wow I didn't even try to work with S Note long enough to realize importing PDF's was (seemingly) gone. I can't figure out how to do it and I wonder if it's at all possible anymore. I went ahead and got lecture notes and I'm actually much happier with it. I hate the new structure of s note... it seems like you can't create folders and view multiple folders and files like you could in the old one. It's a shame too cause I had a LOT of notes in them...
Found it!

To import pdf's into S-note:
-while on the start up screen, click on 'recent notes' in the top left corner
-when that opens, touch 'settings' button and select 'import'
-select from which location you want to import (my files, google drive etc) and what the file kind is (s notes or pdf)

The new s note is horrible imo. Cycling through presets no longer works and the UI isn't easy to work with. I'd really like to be able to create a tree structure of notebooks within folders. I switched to Lecture Notes. Functionally it's much better (than the old one at least. I haven't work in the new one enough to really make the claim).

I totally agree. I tried and tried to make myself like it but it's just not logically functional as what I experienced with my Note 2. Always admired the original 10.1's Snote.
Are you using the free version of Lecture Notes or the pro version? I've tried Lecture Notes and I've noticed the fluidity in that one is much more smooth which I appreciate. Just wanted to know what I would be gaining if I go the Pro version.
Pro version allows you to have more than 2 notebooks. Also, anyone know how to highlight text in lecture notes or import multiple pdfs at a time?

I got it to work with the voice recording add-on (haven't purchased the video). If you zoom in during playback it will pan to what you were writing at the time you were talking/recording. Unfortunately it doesn't add text as you go, you start with the finished page and pan around.

To highlight text, I created a custom pencil with the color I wanted, a thick width and chose the 'pencil draws behind other colors option'.
Does anyone know how to take a note in s note in portrait to imitate a sheet of paper? I seem to only be able to do this if I import a pdf.

still some concurrency problems resulting in an app crash
you tell me
I attached some screenshots of the app. If you'd like to help me, just send me a PM with your LIVE e-mail address (the one you are using for the market). At the moment I'm looking for up to 10-15 testers.
I wish I could pay you for your efforts but I can't However, I will offer each beta tester a refund for the in-app purchase to remove ads (~1.5$).
During beta stage there won't be ads and if so, all in-app purchases are free during the app is published within the beta market. There won't be a "stand alone" paid version of this app.
I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, Rudy Huyn app is good, but crashing (mostly on devices with 512MB RAM).
9gag app for devices with less RAM would be good. Lookin forward.

it even crashes on 1gb devices
9GAG+ works perfectly so far, of course only the implemented features. I've used it a few times already and can report no crashes.. and the comment design is awesome
can you add the option to directly hum to the first post of a list, e.g. when I click trending? so far, it looks really good

You mean switching to fullscreen directly instead of showing the list first?
Yep, would be nice I think.. Maybe as an option?

Sounds good I'm going to finish the bookmark system this evening (currently I'm stuck at work ;(). Afterwards I will implement the settings page. If you're lucky you can use it tomorrow morning
I think you're doing good job, from screenshot I can see 2 good differences with other's app
1 comment part ,yours is cleaner
2 screenshot 6, I like it! so I can click only the post I want (everything but the stupid duck )
just sent you pm...

Thank you I just sent you a PM with the market link.
I just submitted an update to the market. Bookmarks are working for now Still no settings
Edit.
At the moment there are 3 testers. So, don't hesitate to drop me a few lines
I'm busy right now , can't try the "bookmark" error you described in pm, but I was thinking if you can add "resume last position" for the sections...(like the other app), bye :good:
Bookmarks work fine so far, only removing them from bookmarks is only temporary (reloading the list gets all bookmarks again)

Are you sure on that? Coz actually it isn't possible. The list maps directly to a database. When you remove an item from the list, it's removed from the database automatically. I also cannot reproduce what you are saying. Is anybody else experiencing the same?
edit.
I just pushed another tiny update to the store
1.0.0.3
- submitting crash reports should work now
- added (basic) settings. choose which channel shall be displayed on the hub page and whether to start browsing channels in fullscreen or in "quick browsing mode"
- localization: en, de

I update right now!
the home is better with icons before "bookmark, settings ecc"
Maybe it's normal but when you navigate through the two pages of channels sometimes it makes some lag, but not everytime.
Are you interested about italian translation?

I will definitely think about this feature. At the moment I don't have clue how to implement it without breaking user experience.
The problem is quite simple. The collection of items displayed in a list are fully virtualized. That means items are both loaded and rendered on demand - starting with the most recent post in a channel. It's more or less simple to initialize a channel from a specified point (last position the user left) but at that time I don't know anything about the ancestor items (posts). In the end the list, which is shown to you, will start at the last position you left and you won't be able slide left to view newer posts. The only solution which currently comes to my mind is to load a channel from the beginning and skipping all items until I reach the one you viewed last time. Of course I can do this but it's a damn waste of resources (CPU, memory and traffic).
As said, I will think about this one. But not now

Well, it shouldn't be normal
Just to make sure I get your point. You're talking about the list view and fullscreen view of a channel? The lag occures when you switch between those two views?
An Italian translation would be great but at the moment I need to finish the app first. Afterwards I could provide you with a list of strings
Starting to test it tommorow
ok tried a lot and no more lag , never! I think there was some bloatware running on the phone.
about the "resume last post" I'm not a dev but I understand to fix... I prefer your app over other's becuase it's faster, if I have to choose between "resume" and speed, the second one is better!!!
good job!

As I told you in the Email, great app.
Here are some ideas to make the app better:
1. For the channels icon you can take the latest picture from tha cahnnel (you can make it refresh every time the app starts or sth. like that)
2. Resume from the last picture you saw in the channel. That means when I'm watching a channel and than go back to the menu and watch other channel and wann go back to the previous channel so that I musn't start watching from the latest picture but there will be a pop up window or sth like that so I will be able to choose if I want resume or start new session.
3. When I tap on the picture there is always some free space under tha picture (see in the attachments "screen 1.png"). It looks really crappy so you should remove it.
That's all till now I will tell you when I found sth.

like to help you with beta testing, wrote you a PM with details
During a carving file on Remix OS usb key (persitent mode), I found screenshots of each window that I opened (panel settings, google chrome, play store, ...) no application is immune. Anyone have explanations ?

I don't have this on my system :-\
Is your "Print Screen" key pressed down?
This is quite concerning if true. I am however unable to reproduce this. Where are the screenshots located?

This is about HFS+ and iOS but something similar might be happening with Android and NTFS.

Hi !
I am a friend of the author of the topic and I discovered these troubling screenshots with him.
To start, we installed Remix OS on a new USB key, on persistent mode, and my friends used it during few days.
Today, by curiosity I launch a file carving operation with a tool called Foremost which is usualy used to recover deleted files.
Firstly plug the usb key to a Linux computer,
- Identify the key with the following command: #fdisk -l
- Then launch Foremost like this: #foremost -t png /dev/sdX
Now you can go to the output folder and explore the many .png files, there are mainly systems files, but among all these files we have found a lot a very small screenchots taken without our knowledge, I've put a few of them in attachments.
We can see tow types of screenshots,
- small part of the screnn 420*420px, <50ko
- full windows 420*420px, <50ko
I find it strange and I would like to know what you think and if you can reproduce this.

Tho the fact that Jide is in China is concerning.
What country are you from? Perhaps its a government spying op

I'm from France but i think it had nothing to do with where i live, it's the official image downloaded from the official website (the md5 is correct).
I just created a bootable usb key and i still found this type of screenshot.
Have you well checked among all images ?
The majority of them are just files system but there are some small screenshots of all actions that are done.
And I find it strange, I am not suggesting that is chinese spying but I just want to understand.

I don't think, there is no NTFS partition on Remix OS.

(I thought the usb you were using/scraping might have been ntfs)
File system doesn't matter I believe ; ( -- perhaps as long as it's journalled). Without seeing the full extent of the images; I/we can only guess - but as data recovery programs like the one you used just searches the raw data on the disk for everything that has valid header/data/footer i.e. hasn't been overwritten; all it would take is an image cache stored for perhaps graphics/animation purposes and as long as it hasn't been overwritten these will be scraped; also the sleep mechanism/some sort of swap file could also cache current screen contents to a file that would be scraped.
Again without seei g the full extent/location of the jpgs it's hard to say either way.
What this is is probably recent tasks. On any android device you will find images of recent tasks as a snapshot of everything.
Screen shots of my current device.
Missed one.
The XML files are of what task is currently running and which ones have stopped.
If you notice my recent apps correspond to the images in root/data. There is nothing suspect going on just android working. If you are worried use two step verification for you accounts.
lol its a recent task android system u guys..
Android uses screenshots of your tasks to show it on Recent Apps Panel. Those screens are not showed in gallery because in the same place there is a file named ".nomedia". Once you close one task or one another screenshot of the same app is taken, the old one is deleted automatically. Most of Android devices do that.

Yes, that's what you said, but with some other details. No need to be angry, tho. Calm down, man.
Here, many people try to help on many and different ways. 3 people helping is better than just 1. A info by 3 people is more reliable than a info by 1 which nobody else confirms. One more time, calm down.

Are those images still there if you restart the device?
