[REQ] simple note taking app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if requests arent allowed.
I'm looking for a simple note taking app that will use drawn/graffiti notes but straight away. I currently use papyrus, which is the best I've found, but I still have to open it/wait a few seconds/select new note/wait a few seconds and it appears.
I'd like an app I can just open straight away to a new empty note I can then physically write on, not type, then save. THEN, if I want to look at previous notes, when I'm at home/work etc... I again open the app THEN have the time to go into a setting to open saved old notes. Does this make sense?
Just 'PRESS APP, BLANK PAGE OPENS, WRITE, SAVE, DONE'
Or, if anyone can make one I'll be first in the queue Looks, icon, anything, not important.
Thanks for any help, and again, sorry if I'm in the wrong place...

[Q] Save a number while on call

Hy everyone,
I've tried searching the forums for a solution but no luck..
Is there any way to save a number while having a conversation?
if i select the "keypad" during a call, and write down a number, there isn't a "save to contacts" option or anything similar to that..
i've fiddled around a bit and the only thing remotely similar to what i need is only an option to save a note during the call, but that is absolutely ridiculous, why would i want to save a note and then go and retrieve it.. i just want to save a contact while talking...
I take it that the phone number you want to save to contacts is different to the telephone call you are currently connected to.
Why not, while on a call, press the Home button, then select the Contacts tab, then select New Contact. You can then write the number in the new contact, along with other details.
hey fred_up thanks for the reply!
actually i did thought of that right after i posted the question, but i just think it's sad that we need to perfotm so many actions in order to do such a simple task... one i used to do once without even taking the phone away from my ear... (and no - i'm not complaining about my hd2, i love it despite its little flaws).
A very handy bit of software is called AutoLoudspeaker - if you do a search, you'll find it on this site. As soon as you take the phone away from your ear (ie the screen lights up via the proximity sensors) the phone goes automatically into loudspeaker mode. That'll take one step out of the process.
No doubt some clever clogs will develop some registry edit that means a long press of the Windows button will open up a new contact page.
Yeh i'm aware of that option, and i use it sometimes when at home, doing the coocking or dishes when the GF is out or while playing pc games but it doesnt really meet my needs when i need to remember a nuber for just a second after i hang up..

Now THAT WOULD BE GENIOUSLY AWESOME!
or maybe even a little app, that is called "numbers" for that matter, which can be located on the home tab and when opening it you'll get a numpad and a screen, and would be able to save numbers in a big font, only numbers, nothing else, the numbers will stay on the screen untill you decide to delete them.
unlike the notepad which saves the notes in a file you need to open, and which is not so finger friendly when coming to fast numbering..
food for thought
maybe i'll just forward the idea to a new app request

may be you can put in a quicklink for 'calculator' on home screen..
I have one, but for that matter - you cannot save numbers you type in the calc, they just vanish once the app is closed, and also - i don't like using things for a purpose they were not meant for, it feels a little stupid..
use panaromic calculator, pressing the x only minimises the program

Need an app/widget that displays a specific group of images.

Hey guys! Does anyone know of a widget or app (preferably an app) that will display ONLY a specific SUBSET of images/photos?
Most gallery apps, when opened, will go to a directory of image sets/folders which you can then open from there. I am looking for an app that will NOT give that option, but instead will ONLY display the 1-100 (actually I only want to display about 10) specific images/photos that I choose ahead of time.
Also, ideally, I would be able to have multiple instances with separate links/widgets that will each point to their own specific closed gallery.
Let me know of you've come across anything like that.
Thanks!

So basically what your saying is....
When you open Gallery, it shows folders X, Y, and Z.
What you want is an app that, when pressed, opens ONLY folder Y with no option to open X or Z. And be able to change it yourself so when you open that app, it shows folder Z without the option to view folder X and Y.
Correct?
A possible idea to make it so YOU can change what folder it opens but others can't would be....
It automatically opens a folder, "PicturesApp" by default. And the way you would change it is to go into something like Root Explorer, find the folder that you want to show pictures within, and rename that folder to "PicturesApp". So when you open the app, it looks for a folder called PicturesApp and opens that.
That sounds awesome. I'll give that a try.
I'm also considering building either html5 galleries hosted on my web domain, or maybe flash files that will open when clicked, but I will try your method first. Thanks!
Anyone have any other ideas?

SuperNote discussion

I have been using SuperNote to write notes for my classes, and I have some problems with it...
Anyone know if there is anything I/we can do to get Asus to fix some bugs?
I would love to be able to get a bug report to them so that they can maybe provide us with some updates in regards to this.
Problems (I'll add more as I remember):
- Export Notes does not export the photos or annotations
- Page 63 is exported as page 64
- When typing on the very last line, the view keeps going up and down
- There are no special characters
- it does not support basic keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C Ctrl+V Ctrl+A (Esenthel)
Might help if you told us what you think is wrong with it.
you could get a logcat while you're doing those things that screw up and send it to asus?
A logcat huh... never thought of that...
Although the thing is, I don't think sending an e-mail to support at asus dot com will do any good...
I was kinda hoping that there might be a better way than doing that...
I like the app, but these little bugs are a little bit silly... I'm not a developer, but I don't think it's too hard to fix these... right...?
For me what's most annoying is that it does not support basic keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C Ctrl+V Ctrl+A, I do have the keyboard dock, so I'd like to use it for full advantage
Ah yeah... that is annoying... lemme edit the top list and add that on.
for me, honestly, super note was disappointing. i was expecting it to be so much better.
some fixes id suggest if any rep is here, or if we wanna compile:
1. the limit on a page is annoying. youll be writing something and then it wont let you go down anymore. i know its replica of a4 paper, however, i think itd be better if itd continue downwards, like in Microsoft word.
2. the pixelation that occurs when you create an annotation and resize it.
so annoying!
3. already discussed, but the fact that a stylus doesnt work makes things hard
this sort of interrelates with point 2 above, because...
i for example will want to draw a graph. now to precisely label it, i cant do it with my finger, nor a stylus. so i have to draw it HUGE using annotation, then resize it to make it smaller. then it pixelates!
4. no autocorrect or the ability to correct. it just comes up with red lines.
5. - no change in font.
6. the ability to interchange the page type would be nice, for example: lined paper to graph paper.
7. when doing math, usually, i'd draw a line down the middle of my page to divide the page in half and thus have more working space. i wish this functionality was possible in supernote. i.e. divide the page and have your own custom sections in which you can write.
8. the lack of colours. theres only like 4! - black, blue, red, green!
9. the inability to record and type at the same time. - that includes voice recorder, and video recorder.
i have to open up the sound recorder app and use that, - this way i cant actually insert the sound clip into my notes.
10. following on from the point above, the inability to insert things! cant insert sound files, movie files!
thats all i can think of atm.

All of this! Lol
And I hate that even when you readjust the page after filling it up, when you start typing the freaking thing jumps up and puts all your words at the bottom, even intermittently throwing them off the screen.
I would definitely like to either see them put more work into this app so it truly is super, or I'd like to see someone pick it apart and create a new one that works right.
I moved this thread to the "Themes and Apps" forum because, well it just fits better here
FreeNote is much better then Supernote.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zdWlzaG91eGllLmZyZWVub3RlIl0.
- U can write xx pages.
- u can export notes to many apps for ex evernote.
- u can save file as pdf or photo.
- handwriting, keyboard writting, Keyboard+hand writting, touch keyboard with many options,
- u can draw all u want - not only letters and u dont to create separate sheets. U can do all these things on one page!
- and a lot of more!
I loved the app when i saw it, and after trying to use it once i disabled it.
I mainly use tablets to write histories apart from the obvious email and websurfing.
It force closed on me on a very long test note i was writing and all was lost, tried again this time copying and pasting a long piece of text and bam force close again.
To be honest i deeply regret buying the TF700
i have tried everything so far to replace a real laptop and it has proven a big waste of money...
I guess my last resot would be to try the iPad but i can't do that to myself i am afraid i might like it

It's worth the premium account then then offline works like a charm.
If i wanted to pay for simple tasks I would have got an iPad, wait no they come with a decent note application... (I tested my wife's)
here is a good note taking I found not as much fuzzy stuff as super notes but doesnt force closes every time a bird flys by

No it doesn't... Evernote works fine off line. It just waits to sync until you're connected, unless something has changed since the last time I used it.

When I tried with the SKY Wifi Smartpen It kept crashing when no connection was available and I could not see any notes taken unless I was online.

I think that has more to do with the pen than Evernote. It sounds like the pen needs wifi. Is there an option to use bluetooth instead of wifi?
Sent from my SCH-R930 using xda app-developers app
No, not the pen, I transfered notes from the pen to evernotes, then tried to access the notes from evernotes and could not unless online
Yes, exactly. The pen uploads the notes to the Evernote cloud, so how would you be able to access them without the internet? Unless I'm misunderstanding you, this would be the problem regardless of what note app or service you use, unless the pen can somehow transfer the notes directly to the Prime. There is no service in the world that can access a cloud-based server without access to the internet.

How to disable securely extension on any chromebook

Hi guys, I figured this out last year and after finding a forum about bypassing securely on here about it I decided to make a post about it so enjoy
Step 1:
Go to https://cdome.comodo.com/shield/ click get it for free, and create an account
When you've finished signing up, go back to https://cdome.comodo.com/shield/# and login (Your username is your email).
Step 2:
When you first login a box should popup onto your screen with a bunch of green text at the bottom of it. If this doesn't happen, on the top right part of your screen there should be a button that says setup wizard in blue. Just click that.
Step 3:
For this step, you will have to be at whatever place you need it blocked at. Make sure your connected to your school or work wifi, then open a new tab and go to https://whatsmyip.com/ and copy the ip it tells you. Close that tab and now paste the numbers into where it says Ipv4 address/ FQDN. Name it whatever you want, then click save, next, and "start using dome shield".
Step 4:
Now in the top left of your screen you should see a button that says configure. Click it. On the left hand side of the screen now, you should see a menu with the option B/W lists under policy settings. Click that, and then click new B/W list in the top right. As usual, give it a name, and click next. For this part, first, make sure blacklist is ticked and not whitelist. Now what you need to do is in the domain name field, add securly.com, press the plus next to where you just typed that, and press create.
Step 5:
Now, using the menu on the right, click add new policy at the top.. Give it a name, and for object select the wifi you named in step three, and click next. What you need to do now it make sure that both switches at the top are moved to the right, and then under domain B/W list tick the one that you made in the last step and then click save. That's all you need to do on the website.
Step 6:
Now all you need to do is open your chromebook settings by clicking your icon on the far right of your shelf, and then clicking the gear icon on the menu that pops up. In the window that pops up, click on wifi, it should be the first option. Select the wifi that you used in the previous steps, and then expand the network tab. Scroll down, and you should see a section labeled name servers. Select custom name servers, and you should now see four lines for text input. In the first one, put 8.26.56.10 and in the second put 8.20.247.10 and you can leave the last two blank.
Step 7:
The last thing you need to do is pretty quick. Just go to chrome://net-internals/#dns and click clear host cache.
Afterward:
Now your done! It may take a few minutes to take effect so be patient. If it doesn't try disconnecting and reconnecting to the wifi and clearing the cache again. Soon though, you should notice that securely doesn't do anything anymore. Pretty much what you have done, is made it so when your Chromebook asks securely if a page needs blocked, securely doesn't respond and your Chromebook assumes its okay. The only problem with this method is that you have to setup each wifi you want things unblocked on, so for every new wifi you want unblocked you need to repeat steps 3 and 5-7. Overall though, I would say this is the best way because your only going to use the Chromebook at whatever place issued it to you and maybe your house so you only really need to do it at most twice. That's all, and if you have any questions or problems please ask and I'll do my best to help

P.S. if it isn't working search it up again.
I don't have smart device
Also, sorry for mis title, i changed it since i got through it. But for this i need a Business. I do not have a business since i am 13 and for this like Enterprise or MSP when it wants me to make me go and get one, but i don't have one. Also can you tell me where to go, like bottom of the screen or top for the step one? I have been on step one confused for like 30 minutes now. Can you help me?

i did this and it actually worked. however i dont wanna get in trouble and i cant seem to turn it off. ive tried restarting my computer and its still unblocked. please help
Yikes, doesn't work at all
i put bit.ly/securlysucks in my browser and left it there for a little and nothing happend, everything is still blocked, any other things i can do to block securly?
This doesn't work lol
I don't like wanna watch innapropiate things I just want to watch YouTube
I reccomend if all this doesn't work just use your phone or regular computer. I also saw somebody like take apart the chromebook heres the link
This MIGHT work because you could unenroll and then disable the Securly or whatever.
You could also tell your school to stop using it but I doubt that will work.
The website is blocked.

I can't do that. The two URLs in step one are blocked
this link might work for you for youtube https://jonahkc.github.io/youtube-unblcked/
wouldnt it be better for a coder to create a whole browser thing that cant get the school blocker through coding but you can access that browser through google and make it to where the school cannot block it

thx i might be able actually get stuff done
for some reason https://www.unblockyoutube.co/ is not blocked, and this is a proxy that is not slow, but for some reason I get an error code 520 but for most of my classmates it works as a proxy that you can use to play anything. this link https://rmehy1.sse.codesandbox.io/ sometimes works sometimes it doesn't but it isn't blocked for me. you can change the tab title and icon whenever you are using your proxy, for example, you could change shell shockers title to classroom and the image to look like classroom but if the teachers have securely classroom if they look at your tabs they can still see what you are doing, It also has some built-in games. The bad thing about it though is that it is a bit slow and some of the proxies (since you can pick which proxy you want to use) don't even work. this might work for you but it doesn't work for me https://website-aio.jonasflynn.repl.co/

Is there a Pocket like app, but just for bits of text, not the whole pages?

Does anyone know of an app that would behave like Pocket, but instead of saving the whole page it would allow you just to save bits of text from pages?
Its for learning purposes mostly. I spend a lot of times on FB groups or similiar places, and in like 90% of cases I need to save just one post in a thread, or just a short bit of text. Saving the whole page is counter productive cause either I forget why exactly I saved it, or I have to spend a lot of times looking for the exact info I wanted.
Pocket works great for what it's intended, and I would need something similar. Right now copy and paste seems to be the best solution, but when I send it to OneNote it adds it to new page, and what's worse it won't let me choose which workbook.
So, I need to be able to save part of text (saving images too would be a plus) and be able to quickly find it (via tags or something else). And of course, the ability to export it all. Can anyone recommend something?
I use Google Keep in exactly the manner you describe.
Take a screenshot, crop the image to only the important stuff. Move the images to a special folder perhaps, using any file manager. That's how I do it
