Stylus Write app... One to rule them all? - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps

I just fell in love. Was checking out Papyrus android app because much as I like Lecture Note and S-note they both Can get on my last nerve. I stumbled across what bills itself as a "stylus based wordprocessor". It's called Stylus Write... watched the video demo of Papyrus in Play Store then stumbled across a Stylus Write video... I was instantly smitten. Here is that video:
I think that shows how powerful a tool an active stylus can be. Hope it gives the OP more insight and options.
Best of all the app is FREE!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.styluslabs.write
Obviously this is based on a very brief interaction, maybe 30mins, so before the net nitpickers decend, lighten up. these things take time but I 'm hoping a few folks have tried it already & can add their take comparing to other options.
I was leaning to switching to Papyrus but it just did not feel like a good fit for me. Know what I mean? Some apps just don't feel right to you. Write, however, appeals to me on some visceral level.
EDIT
Found the twitter feed for Stylus Labs:

yes it does support palm rejection with automatic pen dection. There are also quite a few options to control input.

After playing with this app a bit. And it's excellent. I can't compare to the win, Linux, Mac versions but the Android version seems stable. I get a sense the android version maybe the least mature port. There are features not yet present but the dev seems to be actively improving all versions.
There is no HWR → typeface conversion so all notes are saved d diplayed as hand written.
It could use TAGS though it does have BOOKMARKS which seem a quite powerful tool when paired with HTML link support.
Something I find interesting is notes are in HTML format using vector (SVG) to gen the content. If you haven't visited the website take a peek as the whole site is handwritten. That makes for a different look.
Because Write also lets you add HTML links it would be easy to build quite a complex cross-referenced note system--- well as long as you can keep the links updated and in your head. But how great would it be to wireframe (or even a production) sites with natural writing and stylus?
Best way to learn it is to just watch the brief and concise YouTube video. Pretty much everything is in that video.
Basically it's definitely an evolving app. I think there are more than enough features now to make this worthy of being your"daily driver" note taker app. And for sure worth at least an install even if just to use now and then.
Oh, I don't remember seeing ANY ads. Now that makes it even better.

Glad so many are liking this one. Like I posted earlier it was just one of those app which " feels" right out of the gate. Of course I've run into expected features absent but given there are other more mature versions confidence & patience should be rewarded. Well as long as some SF Munir Bus driver doesn't go rogue rogue &. decide sidewalks are the "new asphalt" and develop a vendetta against the dev if he/she visits. :sly:

Well have you tried?
The file output is HTML with graphics as SVG (vector) but for direct sharing with Evernote not sure since Evernote does not support handwritten input directly but their Stitcher is commonly used to get that style notes into Evernote.
EDIT:
Not an Evernote fan or user but the only way I see is to select → copy to Scrapbook then attach that as a file. best info I can offer but one reason I don't use Evernote are things like this along with a few other issues when it was new.

I tried it and it's not you. I tried holding The button while carrying out the action and it didn't switch to "erase tool" either. Maybe we missed a co-setting, maybe it's oneof those features needing fixed & we can contact the dev?

Hi, I'm the developer of Write. Unfortunately, the pen button isn't working on Samsung devices. It appears I can get it to work by integrating the S-Pen SDK, which I hope to do in the next major update.
I will subscribe to this thread, so please feel free to post any other comments or issues.

Is there a way to import notes from Lecture Notes? This would allow me to switch to this app, but I haven't been able to figure out how to import existing notebooks.
Also, how can you back up notes to the external sdcard and to the cloud. Can we use something like dropsync?
PS: the eraser end of the 8pi pen does work. Just not the side button.

This is also a feature I'm very interested in. Using bookmarks / tags one could come up with a hand-written wiki system, which I would find very! interesting. With just some more functions (like being able to, e.g., select some text and having the option to create a link from this text to a new document, which one could then edit), this could be really powerful. Maybe it's already possible now, I've only played with this app fro some minutes, but reading through some notes and then clicking on a link / bookmark to open another note would be really great.

Thanks for finding this thread & following.
No questions from me just set but I know that's gonna change. For now just feeling my way.

I like some things in this app, i.e. you can move the text easily and fast, the space insertion, the bookmarks, or the curious undo tool (even if sometimes is too fast), but I miss important options like using the keyboard to add text, shapes insertions, and I think the option to change the pen size is too hidden to be used as often as I am using it, it should be easier to find it. I hope the developer will consider this to future versions of this good app, t.y.

I get the same on mine. SE Xperia X10 on Gingerbread.
I think it's better to remove the SMS/call functionality from your application, because there are a lot of people(including me) not installing the application because of those permissions.
If you use this:
Code:
startActivity(new Intent(ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:6365551212")));
With this you don't need the permission to make calls, and the dialer will be started with the phone number pre-loaded, so the user only needs to press the Call button.
And for sending SMS messages you can use this guide, which also uses intents.
Then you don't need SMS/call permissions, but the user can still call/text when he needs in your application.
This is simply astonishing. Great work. Although I have an Evo 3D and won't be moving from it at any time soon, I know a few Hero owners who could do with this App to see what they should upgrade to.

Yes, the user will be able to see the advertisers number. But I think your sent SMS is in the SMS-app of the user, so he always will be able to see the advertisers number, although I'm not sure.

Awesome app for typed-in notes

Just wanted to pass on info on a GREAT typed-in note-taking app - It's called "Classic Notes & App Box". Not only does it have a TON of feaures, but the support for the product is absolutely amazing. I've asked for two new features and they were implemented in a matter of days! Author is VERY receptive to new feature requests!
It also lets you attach drawings, audio recordings, etc t your notes. Plus a TON of "special functions" (zip code lookup, spell check etc).
HIGHLY recommended for anyone looking for a typed-in notes app (as opposed to a handwriting notes app)

I was using Evernote, but i really dont like the interface.... plus, until just recently, it didnt support attaching drawings, etc... besides, i highly doubt the Evernote folks would implement my feature requests, let alone do it in a matter of days!
Plus, Notes Classic has way more features... some of the 'extras' are really cool too.... and the support is simpy amazing...
There is a lite version in the market as well in case anyone wants to try befoe you buy (but i think the free version is missing all of the extras that make it so useful....
EDIT: FYI - with the paid version, from the main note index list, make sure to check out all of the functions under Menu->Extras (zipcode lookup, whois lookup, Tip Calculator, Google Translate and abut 20 more!)... Really slick...

I bet you all know, but since the last update Supernote is included in our stack of apps.
Why don't give it a try to see how it behaves? I bet it's not the most complicated / complete app, but I am sure it's worth a try.

The problem with handwritten notes is that thay are not searchable. Plus, I find it very un-natural to actually handwrite on a tablet (same with the iPad)...

[APP][4.0+][SMS App] Emu Messenger Beta

Emu Messenger Beta is an SMS app for Android which allows you to share your location with anyone and get messages re-sent at a later moment, for example when you get home.
Download by pointing your Android at http://emu.is/download
(Direct Download for those in regions without Play Store access.)
Marco? Polo! Look for magic buttons on messages like, "Where are you?" Tap to send a map of your location – that updates as you move around.
Sometimes you get a message at the wrong time. Remember to take out the trash! Pay the rent when you get home! Emu has the answer, with Yo-yo. Swipe across a message and have it re-sent to yourself when you get home, to work, when you get up in the morning, or when you leave wherever you are.
Push to Talk: Running late? Hands full? Press and hold anywhere in a chat, then speak to send a message. There is no step three.
It all works over SMS/MMS, just use it instead of your built in Messages app, so no need to invite all your friends.
Send us your feedback to [email protected] and especially if you'd like to join our labs program to get a sneak preview of some nifty upcoming features.

Definitely one of my favorite messaging apps. I love the ease and functionalities. It's a breath of fresh air from the typical SMS app.. The tutorial is awesome. How do I get my messages to transition like that?:laugh: I'm not a big fan of peach, but it's not a deal breaker by any means. Any chance for off-line voice typing? And how do I get in on the alpha testing?

I've been working with the OP on this app and really believe that it provides functionality beyond existing messaging apps. My personal favorite feature is being able to resend message when I get to home or work. This has saved me multiple times from forgetting things.

Suggestion:
Needs at least basic theming ability. Chat bubbles and maybe a few color changing abilities.
Perhaps the ability to change 'yoyo' times. I get to work at 7. Ability to create the gps coordinates for Home and Work and/or other to effectively use yoyo in different scenarios.
Really liking the clean simple interface. Although the colors are a bit... not to my preference or mismatches my themes, it is very simple UI.

Thanks for the great feedback, keep it coming. A few responses in the interim:
Re the yo-yo times, it should automatically detect your work and home location (might take 24-48 hours for a full cycle) at which point the times should go away; let me know if that doesn't happen for you.
Good point re deleting individual messages.
Ability to cancel speech message? Absolutely! Stay tuned

I looked at the XDA beta testers community and it didn't seem that active, perhaps we're talking about two different things? Do you have a link?
Themes - point taken, we'll mull on it.
Fantastic. Thanks for the quick response.
One issue with the work detection. (I've raised this on a few apps regarding location awareness) I'm a general contractor and I'm usually bounching between several different locations throughout my day. If just a specific time set or perhaps a yoyo to 'Set specific time'. This would make a good work around. I get dozens of text per day that I'd like to re-text me. I've been using Google Keep but its getting chaotic inside the app. I was using a reminders notification app (notif pro) but I need my notifications for emails and other stuff. Great idea. I'm really liking the concept.

Is it possible to upload the apk? Because I can't download it from France. Why don't you make it available in all countries?
Thanks in advance!

Fantastic. Thanks for the quick response.
One issue with the work detection. (I've raised this on a few apps regarding location awareness) I'm a general contractor and I'm usually bounching between several different locations throughout my day. If just a specific time set or perhaps a yoyo to 'Set specific time'. This would make a good work around. I get dozens of text per day that I'd like to re-text me. I've been using Google Keep but its getting chaotic inside the app. I was using a reminders notification app (notif pro) but I need my notifications for emails and other stuff. Great idea. I'm really liking the concept.

Good point, probably true for quite a few people so we need a good solution for it.
Interesting concept, I'll give this a try!

Hi
My first feedback - I Couldn't download this app in India
Should alpha features be discussed here or via email?

Couldn't download, its says Incompatible with my devices (P990 using CM10.1). Does it's about country restriction ? I'm from Indonesia
Still Loving It
I ditched the other messaging apps for this one and have been very happy with it. :good: It's light weight and I love the off-line voice typing. No more having to search for a keyboard that uses Google's offline voice typing. I also love the alpha features. So far I've only run across two. But I'm not sure if these are really them or if they had already been there all along and I've just now found them. lol. One thing though, I work 2nd shift and the time options for when I get home or when I get to work does not correspond with my work schedule. Would it be possible to provide and option to change this? Keep up the good work. Thanks.

First of all, thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you like the app.
Is the app not detecting your home and work automatically? It should shift from a time-based offering to location based once it has detected where you live and work, but if it isn't doing that it's a bug we need to look into.

[APP][Beta] Notes (Material Design) <-- Testers needed!

[APP][Beta] Notes (Material Design) <-- Testers needed!!!!!!
Notes (Beta)
Google+ Community - Beta signup - Play Store ​
Had to create a new community, apparently you can't change visibility to public after it's been created as private.
Hello world! I just (beta) released my own, first Android application to Play Store!
As of now it's in beta and I need your help!
I need testers!
I have created a group/community on Google+ where everyone is free to join (although it seems I have to accept individually.. Annoying!)
There you can find links to the beta signup and the app on playstore and you need to join the community to be able to download the Beta.
The plan is to take the app out of beta as soon as possible but that requires some serious testing and without you that's not possible!
So give me all feedback, even the worst kind! Bugreports, screenshots, hugs! Everything!
You can also share your ideas and thoughts. There is also a changelog section for updates!
Anyone speaking all but Swedish and English are very welcome to help translating the app!
Soon:
- Online storage
- Widgets
- Ability to share notes (E-mail, export to textfiles etc.)
- Themes (Color palettes basically)

I just downloaded this app and it looks very nice for a beta application.
I'd like to make one suggestion however. I can already see the security question you chose to implement in the security section of the app is going to cause a lot of fuss by the general public. I can already see people being weary putting their real credit card # in because they will think you will be able to see this answer. Then they are going to put in a fake #, forget what they used, and get locked out. This results in a 1 star review.
My suggestion is to create a list of 10 or so predefined questions they can answer. Even better let them type in their own question that they can answer.

Hi. Thank you for your time!
This has crossed my mind and had me thinking, but then I remembered the 4 last digits are the only ones that show (most of the times I can remember, anyhow) if you add a creditcard to a online site, for example. Plus its basically impossible to forget! So I thought this would make no difference, but I'm afraid you're right.
Other security questions will be in the next update (or after that one), because this is a very big deal. And ofcourse the ? button will be removed, its only for developer/beta purpose.
Thank you for pointing this out!

Hi and thanks for trying out my application.
The Statusbar
It cannot be colored as in android L because you cannot mix android L with previous versions of android since its the developer preview (it's just that, a preview). So the only way to do this (for now) is by replicating the design and other effects to make them work in previous android versions where the coloring of statusbar obviously cannot be done.
I could however, make a separate app only for android L but imagine having to work with two apps at once.. Alone.
When they release the full thing this will be possible in the same app by declaring the sdk to L (or whatever it will be called).
Offline Mode
The offline mode is for when I have an online database to keep the notes. As of now its only local. When this is ready, you will be able to choose whether you want to keep your notes online or local.
Thank you.

Just a couple of things:
a) Is there no longer a beta community? I go to G+ Community and then Beta signup, but all I see is:
Sorry – nothing to see here.
There may be several reasons:
The app that you’re looking for doesn't exist
or
the app developer is not currently running a test
or
you are not eligible to participate in the testing programme.
If you received the link to this page from someone, we recommend that you contact them for more information.

b) I have not installed it yet ... will do it soon, but in the meantime, on the screenshots, I see those label kind of things (Beta, Incredible, Similey, etc...) what are they? I mean, I would love to have either folders or "labels" as Gmail does so that I can group notes and then would like to have a lock/unlock feature for each group/folder/label.
c) I would also think it would be nice if the online feature allowed th user to save the notes to ones own Gmail or Google Drive account or even maybe dropbox or box.
Design looks nice.
Off to download, but will look at it only tomorrow.
Cheers!

its can be done look on lg g3 kk stock when you enter any app status bar change color, and also with an xposed module can be done that on rom but i wont use xposed (art reason), for example look on app "pushbullet" awesome transparanecy on statusbar and navigation bar am just suggesting so you will do what you like

The google+ community should be working as its supposed to. For me both links work fine. Have you joined the community before you try to join the beta?
These are tags. The tags are like categories. I am working on a way to sort these by tags. In the meantime all they do is to show you what kind of note it is.
To be able to share the note is one of my primary goals. You should be able to save to a local textfile, send by email and save to drive. I have successfully added a file in drive with the name of the title but the part where the content fills the file is very hard.
Thank you for trying out my app and thank you for f
The feedback. Much appreciated.
Gorgeous! Really good job here, here are some recommendations:
1/ Can you implement a feature, where I can restore my notes from Google Keep?
2/ Archiving notes, so only the important ones are visible
3/ Purple colored "Title" is burning my eyes!

Thank you for trying my app. And thanks for the kind words.
I don't know how Keep works (I mean behind the scenes) so that might be difficult. Worth looking into though since alot of people are using Keep. Great tip.
Yes this will be implemented. You will be able to swipe away notes later on. This follows android guidelines and its very useful.
Oh, really? Sorry to hear that it's the color that burns your eyes or the actual little text? Its probably not needed since the inputfield has a hint saying 'Title'. Will look into it

Our battery usage is much lower than Chronos.
On Kitkat, Chronos usually shows up with 5-7% of total battery usage.
LifeStats rarely shows up on the battery usage screen (and when it rarely does, it's usually at 2%)

I'll give this a shot. I tried the Friday app, but that wasn't what I needed. Perhaps this will be a better fit.

Will I get an info or a reminder on sundays evening to review my last week? Would be an awesome feature!? Guess what I mean?
Maybe a lifestats on/off option, to disable or enable tracking.
You have to attach the app to either Facebook or Google+ or you can't sign in? Is there a typical email sign in option I missed?

Hi,
I'm currently trying lifestats on my Nexus 5. Nearly every time I access the app, I have to login. What can I do to change that?
Hi, this looks like a great app, I have one question tough. Is it possible to make it integrate with i.e. SmartBand, FitBit, etc...?
Hi Developer,
Is it the App for Automation testing? M I right...
It is a static data u taken and made a note book like app... is it so?
If it is like that, then it may be a good guide also...
Looks awesome!
Really could use an app like this.
But internet permission and linking to an account is a big no-no for an app that tracks everything i do.
Make the account optional, and I'd really be interested.

installed it first on my phone (stock sony z1c), crashed on the first launch then seemed to work.
then installed on my teclast p98 tablet, crashed on first launch then seemed to work.
but apparently data doesn't sync between devices, or ...? I logged in with my google account on both devices.

Hi Everyone,
zoharby that posted this is a co-founder (along with me and a few others) in a startup company placer.io , LifeStats shows some of the abilities our SDK's provides for the client side (much more on the server side), we welcome anyone that would like to use our SDK (also iOS), just contact us.
Back to the LifeStats, I'm the actual client side programmer who coded the Android app and I will try to be active here and answer any question, I love the xda community and hearing from you will surely improve the app as we go along, please stay active.

We have an SDK and any developer can such cool ideas a shot in his own app, for now the lack of clear leader in the wearable field make development pretty risky and were not sure we have a "killer feature" we want to implement with those wearables, what did you have in mind ?

Press the car dealer place to enter the single place screen, you will then have a pencil icon on top and you can name the place and choose "private residence"

I think you add your gym to Foursquare but it will probably easy to modify the place
About Material Design, I'm a big fan but it was just introduced and its a bit early to modify the design, when Android L will be out it will be easier to get the proper feeling of how apps were modified to this Google vision.

We reviewed many services and they were the best, they might be weak in some areas, where are you from ? Do the places you attend exist in FQ ?
We can use information from our users to improve our results, if you fix the places our algorithms will learn from it, it just takes time
I guess at some point we might also use Google Places buts its very noisy and lack many info we need for our logic (popularity, opening hours and etc...)
