[CM9][APP]FloatNote - Simple note-taking app in a floating window for the Galaxy Note

I've been playing around with Mark Wei's splendid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688531StandOut library and thought I'd share one app I've been finding useful.
It's very basic and very beta.
FloatNote v1.0.4b
Edit:
Thought I better provide some info
This app is very simple. It floats on top of other windows and lets you scribble notes or little sketches.
I wrote it for me and my phone so I know it runs okay on a Galaxy Note under cm9.
It's written for the galaxy note stylus so pressure increases pen stroke width and the side button gives you the eraser.
Select ink colour by swiping your stylus along the rainbow thing on the titlebar (the title text shows the selected colour). Click the sidebutton when touching the rainbow to return to black.
It autosaves your note and autoloads it when the app opens again.
Resize the window with the triangle in the bottom right corner.
I'm using the android native API so it may work okay(ish) on other devices. If it does, let me know.
Enjoy...
Nikad
Latest Update:
Version 1.0.9b
Changelog:
Major rewrite - had to do away with Mark's standout library and reimplement some of its functionality.
Hide and restore from the notification bar
Share note with other apps, email, etc
Saves position, size and pen colour.
Lots of bug fixes and improvements in performance/reliability
Important:
This app requires API Level 14 or higher to detect the stylus so you need ICS.
There are known issues running under Touchwiz so stick with a CM9/CM10 variant.
Know to run okay on the Galaxy Note International, I717 and the HTC Flyer.
If anyone runs it on other devices I'd love to know!

Oops! I guess you're running a samsung rom and touchwizz is getting in the way. Looks like I might have to install a stock rom and do a bit of debugging

No quick launch yet, sorry
If you've ran the app already, you can launch it from your recent apps. But...
Improvements in mind include being able to hide the window and then show it when you click on the notification (I had this on an earlier alpha and just need to add it back in).
Multi-page note: support for more than one page.
Share note (with whatever).
I'm not going to go too heavy on functionality though. The idea was to be simple and uncluttered.
Thanks for you interest...

New version on its way. Just going through last testing and tweaking so maybe tonight/tomorrow morning.
Ended up doing a major rewrite just to provide a small amount of additional functionality. But it's all good! It even ended up smaller.
We now have an app that will hide and restore from the notification bar, can share the image with other apps and loads of reliability improvements.
I haven't had a chance yet to run it on other devices or on stock roms so all I can say is it works on the Galaxy Note under CM9.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
If you're on a call, just pull down the status bar and click on the notification. It's a bit of an illusion that it's "hidden". Really the app is shut down and relaunched when you click the restore notification.
By the way, I see you running a stock rom. Does TouchWiz not cause problems with FloatNote?
Thanks again for your interest!

Ok. That makes sense. I can restore it from the notification bar if it is hidden.. only thing the app must be up and running before that..
I do not use Touichwiz when there are great lauchers namely Nova these days.. It has been some time since I went back to TW
I use float to be called in one of the gesture of NOVA which is great. You would do a scrolling option on the screen if possible. That will help me add longer notes rather than extending the window,,
Thanks. :good:

Working great on RocketRom v10!

Having an issue parsing the package.
Will try again via desktop soon.
Good work!
I love such stuff
EDIT:
Sorry!
I was half asleep and didn't see that it is for CM9.
Please forgive me!:silly:

[MOD][AOSP]Enable or Disable Softkeys for CM/AOSP ROMs 1.2/1.0

Code:
/* Disclaimer: This MOD is not officially endorsed or supported by the CyanogenMod team. */
Due to numerous requests, I decided to make this MOD publicly available.
What this MOD does is disable the hardware keys from the UI (wake functions will still work) and enable the softkeys via a build.prop edit. It also disables the softkey lights via an init.d script. You can disable that part of the MOD by creating an empty 99nobacklights file in init.d.
Download Enable Softkeys MOD v1.2
Download Disable Softkeys MOD v1.0
Just an FYI on what is being modified in this MOD:
/system/build.prop
/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
If you backup the above files, you can undo the mod without reflashing it by dropping in the originals. As of v1.2 of the enable softkeys MOD, you can flash the latest disable softkeys MOD to disable the softkeys and get the hardware buttons back.
Also the following file is created by the MOD to disable the backlights only if the file doesn't exist:
/system/etc/init.d/99nobacklights
If you don't want to flash the new disable MOD, you can delete 99nobacklights and remove the # symbols from synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl as well as delete the line that says qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and then reboot.
Delete it and reboot to regain the backlight functionality.
If you don't have init.d support in your ROM, the backlights will function as normal but the rest of the MOD will work. As an alternative to this, you can run this at boot or manually edit the below referenced file and set the value to 0:
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness
NOTE: One little aesthetic bug I've noticed of the current method is that each flash of the enable MOD puts an extra blank line before qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and the disable MOD doesn't delete that extra line. If you flash back and forth between an enabled state and disabled state, you'll see a lot of blank lines at the bottom of your build.prop. There are no negative implications other than it looking kind of weird.
Changelog:
Enable softkeys
v1.2
make mod more universal by editing the files via instead of dropping them in
This also allows a simple disable softkeys MOD to be put in place.
v1.1
fix issue where capacitive buttons weren't actually getting disabled
v1.0
Initial release
disables backlight and capacitive buttons
enables softkeys via a build.prop edit
Disable softkeys
v1.0
Revert changes in v1.2 of the enable MOD via sed edits.

Thank you kindly.
I had the software buttons enabled already, it was just disabling the hardware buttons and backlighting that I didn't have yet.
[edited]
Finally got a chance to flash the mod.
While the mod did disable the backlighting to the capacitive buttons, it did not disable the capacitive buttons themselves. CM10.1 nightlies

Fixed it for v1.1. If you don't want to reflash, you can edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl and clear everything from that file and save and reboot.

Ahh Kool. Yeah I sorted everything out, but this'll make everything a few steps easier between nightlies.
You don't have to clear the file tho. Mearly commenting out each line with # does the trick..

I cleaned it up a bit more and wanted to do some more improvements for 1.2. I'm using more edits instead of replacing files. This should make it more universal.
I took your tip into consideration. I knew about the # being for comments but I didn't think about the OS ignoring it in non script files.
I'm setting it up for a revert mod now based on wanting to do more than just replace with a blank file to disable and to make it easily revertible. The next version will feature these improvements.
I'm actually surprised this thread isn't getting more responses with the number of requests I got. I guess Android development doesn't get as much viewing.

lol yeah im a bit surprised there arent many hits on this thread aswell. I get hit up about how to do it aswell.
I really wish HTC made the buttons transparent like the S3/4 rather then white and always there. Works fine for me now tho. I took the iBlasso screen protector and added a carbonfiber skin insert were the cutout is at the bottom. Looks real nice and still a flush fit.
Onscreen softkeys for nav n slide my finger across the carbon fiber strip to wake.

Is that the latest version of the mod? (1.1) if so, then I'll look at this sometime next week. I'm trying to hold out for in call audio to work on CM before checking this out. I have a updated version in the works anyway that should not have any issues.
What CM variant are you guys with issues on? The initial version used a build.prop in the mod. It wasn't a good idea so I'm having it edit it now for the upcoming version.

It's worked for me fine for every nightly build... So I don't know.

V1.2 of the Enable MOD is up as well as an initial release of the Disable MOD. This should address the major concerns and issues with the previous version.

It's doesn't work on the Rootbox rom. Luckily I have gesture.

It's only been tested on CM so I don't know if there's something that'd make it fail on Rootbox or another ROM? Can you output the last 5 or 10 lines of the following files:
/system/build.prop
/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
build.prop should have qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the end and synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl should have every line preceded with the # symbol. That's all the mod does in addition to turning off backlights by creating an init.d script.
Also, did you flash the latest versions listed in the OP?

works great on cm.10 latest nightly. but somehow i miss the sense rom, too bad it doesnt work on sense. btw does this mod work with google edition based roms?

|Mod| GE home button lag removal aosp tw based roms

Hello have you been tired of that stupid lag on the Google edition when pressing the home button? There's no way to disable the double tap home to open recent apps so the ui will always studder to wait if you double tap. Everything still functions perfect. Flash via recovery and viola the lag is gone:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
100% working tested on all GE ROMs
androidfilehost/?fid=23050663588003995
Please add the .com after androidfilehost and go to the URL XDA won't let me upload URLs

Just flashed this and i got the SIM-unlock problem on my GE based Null ROM. Restored it back the way it was and it's gone
Don't flash if you have Null ROM.

Within the GE rom there is a very easy framework-res/bools edit for those that know apktool. But then you either need another method to access the recents panel or enable the navbar (that is my favorite method, easy to enable by the bools too). The downside is that this must be built for each rom, and every version that framework-res is modified. Then you get a domino effect of now you now have active capacitive buttons and a navbar which can be frustrating. Disable those within the /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl. Then you still have the button back lights . . there is an app over in the tmo gs4 section for that.

AOSP Lockscreen on Stock Based Rom

Generally speaking I really prefer the AOSP Roms but I have a few things in the stock based roms that I can't seem to get away from. One of them is the sound. Its just better on stock. I won't go into detail because a) that's not the point of this post and b) I don't want any of the excellent devs working on AOSP roms to think I'm being critical of their work.
One of the things I preferred about the AOSP Roms was the lockscreen. I just don't like LG's implementation. I don't think it looks as good and I don't like having to press enter after typing in my pin. It's petty on my part, but it irks me. Anyway, I had been trying to figure out how to port the lockscreen from AOSP to work on stock based roms and as it turns out, it's already there. In a rather foolhearty attempt to learn more about LG's lockscreen, I decided to make a nandroid backup, then boot, and just erase the LGLockScreen.apk/LGLockScreen.odex files from the /system/app folder using ES file explorer. I also erased the LGLockSreenSettings.apk/LGLockScreenSetting.odex files as well.
Now I have the AOSP lockscreen but things aren't exactly 100 percent stable. I'm trying to find a solution to make the switch and not have weird force closes. Sometimes it works fine but every once and a while, it will behave strangely and spit error messages at me. I've searched but I haven't seen any threads where anyone has managed to do this. (I tried erasing the lockscreen and leaving the settings files but that didn't work 100% either) Any suggestions?
Before:
After:

a working AOSP lockscreen for stock would be more than a welcome addition.

I changed this line in my build.prop because i wanted a live wallpaper on my lockscreen. It also makes your lockscreen aosp style.
Find
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=true
Change to
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=false
Reboot
Enjoy
Also for whatever reason root explorer wouldn't let me change true to false. It would only let me spell out fals so i downloaded buildprop editor free from play store worked great.
Should mention i have Verizon G2

Well setting the LG lockscreen to false enabled the AOSP lockscreen. I was able to get the lockscreen to unlock when the correct PIN was entered without having to press the enter button, which was not possible previously. I did notice that my navigation bar transparency was disabled when I was not using the LG lockscreen. With the QuickWindow cover I have I reverted back to LG lockscreen for the window effect and the transparent nav bar.

I went ahead and changed the line in my build.prop as stated above, and it definitely cleaned up the lockscreen how I wanted, but now my wallpaper is gone. Its just a black screen and I've tried changing it to other wallpapers but it just stays black. Any ideas?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app

I did this to have my homescreen live wallpaper on my lockscreen to mimic the look of Gummys kitkat rom while running lg based rom. I really havent tested beyond that. I set live wallpaper of choice ( phase bean ) onn homescreen then modified the build.prop. After reboot ive got a aosp style live wallpaper lockscreen.
Edit
Just tried and whatever wallpaper i set to homescreen is on lockscreen live or from gallery. Tried changing just lockscreen alone with no luck so if you want to separate wallpapers this might not be for you

Agreed, actually one of the things I wanted from the AOSP lockscreen was to use the same wallpaper as the desktop. I thought it looked weird having different ones and when I would choose the same one for the desktop and the LG based lockscreen, they would be clipped differently and just looked even weirder to me....
FYI, for those of you doing this, I'm noticing some strange issues when combined with some Xposed modules. I'm actually thinking I might install a fresh rom and do this so that I can try to figure out which module(s) might be of concern...

Tried the build prop thing too but although i am able to save it it gets revertet to "true" directly after...
EDIT: Forget it! Altered the build.prop manually with root browser and now the lockscreen has changed. But still i have to press enter after the pin...
EDIT: Forget that too. In xposed g2 settings i could activate "quick unlock".

Which G2 Xposed module did you use? Nevermind

noticed a small issue with using this tweak: sometimes after a phone call when it goes back to the home screen it's just an empty wallpaper instead without any icons and the only way to get out of is to bring the notification shade and go into settings from there and then go back to the home screen.

I've seen that too. It's kind of annoying and really strange. I wish I knew how to stop it from happening because I really don't like the lg lockscren...

LG G2 Navbar Customization Xposed Module

Just wanted to share with everyone that in my desperate attempts to find a way to modify the Stock Navbar I tried out the LG Navbar Xposed module and it works perfect! No 4 or 5 button but it has plenty of buttons to choose for the three available including long press customization for each one. Works perfect transparency stays intact as well as modifications from other modules (gravitybox navbar height). The only thing I've noticed is that the 3 dot button on the navbar will still pop up on apps requiring it. I just used softkeyz and downloaded the invisible buttons from the user gallery so its still there but I don't have to look at it.

You should have just used Gravity Box xposed module. Among every other tweak available to you in GB, there is also a section for modifying NavBar. I shrunk mine down because I don't think it needs to be that big, added always on menu button, and then turned on Immersive Mode (which is really awesome, I prefer it to pie and it's still basically stock android, both function and form wise).

I use the gravitybox module but can't stand not having a dedicated menu button. I know there is the always on option in gravity box but I am left handed and can't stand stretching over to reach it. Plus this has long press options. I find it a lot nicer having the menu button with long press for recents. Just letting people know of more options. As someone who normally uses cyanogenmod and AOKP and adds a menu button immediately I found this perfect for me.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

Oh nice, didn't realize there were that many more options available, going to have to check it out and maybe use GB for everything else but NavBar. Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something, but when i follow the link to the thread, it then takes me to the playstore, where it says its incompatible with my device.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

I got it installed but it's very limited in scope unless you unlock the premium version. I'll stick with GravityBox.

I got GravityBox to work for me in remapping the useless Recent Apps to the Menu button and I just have to think that the icon for Recent Apps is the menu. The only way I found.. You have to map hardware buttons to change this. You can also add Kill App to long press on the Back button.
