I found yours very similar to this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.workpail.inkpad.notepad.notes

You may want to add some originality into your UI...
[Android Apps and Games] NovemberEcho91:
very nice, app stays out of your way until you need it, plus being able to pin items to the status bar is nice, would be nice if it could be set so they are persistent.
[Android Apps and Games] Cellulah:
Great application! However, I'd really like to have the ability to change the icon shown when a note is added to the status bar... However, still a great, simple app that seems to work flawlessly. Android FTW!
[Android Apps and Games] trashbytes:
On QVGA the text goes over the left vertical lines.

When you type a "S" it looks like "$" :D

Tobi
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
I want to make a task bar for easy access to common functions just looking for the right icon set
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
I can add a persistent option
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
I use a galaxy s too so not quite sure what the issue is but I've also posted to Amazon market.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
I will add a reminder option but for now you can add the note to Google Calendar and set a reminder through that.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Thanks for the tip, You're indeed correct. I ran it through the emulator and saw what you meant. I've fixed it and it will be in the next update.

[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
So the company that was fixing my laptop totally screwed me and formatted my hd and erased my dev key so now I'm unable to update this app so I've had to repost with a new name =\
[Android Apps and Games] NiMH_999:
Thank you for the wonderfull app. Just downloaded and used it for 10 minutes and its fantastic..

Updated with some nice minimal titlebar buttons. Tell me what you think.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Updated with image captions and a few tweaks
[Android Apps and Games] Isadora:
It's nice and clean, I really like it. Any chance of different background colours and a font size option would be nice too :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Yes, it's planned :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
No problem ^^
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
So does it work OK for you guys?
[Android Apps and Games] lrm537:
Working fine for me. Not had any trouble with it. Only used it a couple of times, but it's all good. :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Good to know :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Guess I'll work on a dark theme next :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
New update posted:

- Bug fix that was causing crash when attaching a file

- Note option to remove blank lines added

- Note option to remove duplicate lines added
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
OK, I'm going to revamp the edit menu within notes because it's driving me crazy how unorganized it is lol
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
So finally finished the menu up and put everything involving text manipulation and such in it's own place. Also added in:

- Note>Edit menu>Text Utilities>Case conversions>sWITCH cASE - will switch the case of text within a note

- Note>Edit menu>Text Utilities>Escapes - URL encode/decode a note
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
I'm not saying anything, just saying :p:cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
I know I know...I've been so lazy about it lol.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Added in word occurrences. Basically it will look at every word and show how often and percentage it is used in a note:
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Anyone have any other ideas for useful things I can add in terms of text manipulation and/or info?
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Added a toggle switch in settings to display current status of todos and shopping lists in main view:
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Anyone care to test out the latest features before I upload to the market?

Here is what is new:

- Edit menu within notes is now more organized and structured

- Note>Edit menu>Text Utilities>Case conversions>sWITCH cASE - will switch the case of text within a note

- Note>Edit menu>Text Utilities>Escapes - URL encode/decode a note

[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
OK, I'm going to work on the dark theme next...no really :p
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
So does anyone have ideas or preferences for the dark theme? I was thinking black titlebar with dark grey body?
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Cmon where are all those people that were requesting a dark theme. Need some opinions on what colors to use :D
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
As much as I generally like dark themes, as far as notepads go, I still prefer the traditional colours such as those that are there right now ... feels more notepadish :)

Just a quick request once again for folders that can contain groups of similar notes ... I know I can lock away individual notes, but would rather have them inside a folder that can be locked away!
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
The dark theme would be completely optional and you can already lock a folder. Just go to the folder screen and long press>privacy :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Would anyone find a "weight" category useful in shopping lists?
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Minor update posted...

- Filling some user requests:

1) XML escapes/unescapes in the note>text utilties menu.

2) Text utilities>String conversions - convert a string to hex and vice versa
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
And yes I'm still working on the dark theme :)
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:

[Android Apps and Games] Tenacious:
Man this is great app I don't know how I did staple on it sooner.

Thank you for shearing your work.
[Android Apps and Games] rkmiks:
I just love it so much. Thanks for this perfect thing.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Glad you find it useful :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Still not quite certain on how to make the dark theme look. I could just make it look like my other app if everyone is ok with it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5mbHVmZnlkZWx1c2lvbnMuYXBwZ2FyZGVuIl0
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
No opinions on the color scheme? =\
[Android Apps and Games] tp76:
I like black black with JB blue, just like this would be top notch

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
I agree, the darker the better.

JM2C
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Reminds me of a *nix terminal...I like!
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Guess I'll do some sort black on light blue then
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Adding a few options in today for todos.

1) built in reminders for todo rather than using calendar

2) modify task dates

If you can think of anything else let me know
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Had a bit of time to work on the app today so put in the following:

+ Native reminders for shopping lists and todo's

+ Extras>text compare - compare two bodies of text and hilight all the differences for easy comparison
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
I'm working on something called hotstrings next. Basically it allows you to keep a database of shortcut words which you will able to apply within notes and such e.g. if you were have a shortcut called "xyz" and the substitute text was "a really long long string of text that I don't want to keep typing out all the time" you could simply type xyz in the note and apply the hotstring to input "a really long long string of text that I don't want to keep typing out all the time" I think it's useful hopefully others will too :)
[Android Apps and Games] DanToDeath:
Still good as when it came out, but

You haven't gotten around to add the "remember position" feature to the list of notes, todo s, Etc

basically,

say there are 25 notes in the main list or a folder,

opening note number 15 and then closing the note without editing should display note 15 on the screen, NOT the first 10 notes(or 12,13 depending on screen size).

Also a optional speed scroller would increse efficiency.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
+ Extras>Text compare now allows for importing and comparing text files

+ Hotstrings - Similar to hotkeys, hotstrings are a great way of saving time for frequently used phrases and wording. To access/create a list of hotstrings, from the main menu choose the Hotstrings option then simply enter a shortcut word on the left then enter some text to the right and save. To apply a hotstring, from within a note hit the edit menu in the top left and click the hotstring on the lower bar you wish to apply.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
For some reason I keep totally forgetting about adding in :( Going to push it to the top of my todo list
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
So has anyone following this thread tried hotstrings? Would love to know what you think about it or suggestions regarding it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
Greetings,

I just wanted to give you the feedback that you've done great work on the app. It's a fantastic powerhouse for productivity!

How is the work on setting up cloud backup coming along?

I still think you should produce a user's guide. There are so many great features that your users might not or know about, or how to get access to and use. You don't have to initially publish an extensive comprehensive guide. You could set it up online with a disclaimer that it is a work in progress, put a link to it from within the app and add a little to it each week. I think users would appreciate it and have patience for the WIP nature of it.

I tried out the new Hotstrings feature using the instructions that you gave a couple of posts above, but the phrase didn't show up in the note. I received a pop-up that it applied but it didn't. Is there something else to it?
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
It's case sensitive...was that maybe it?
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
Sorry but I don't understand how case sensitive is supposed to effect it.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Say you make a shortcut word "test" and in the note if you were to type "Test" (note the capital T) and clicked apply nothing would be replaced because "test" is different than "Test"
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
I understand, but the phrase that I associated with the word doesn't apply. It say it has but it the phrase isn't showing up in the note.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
What is the shortcut & phrase you used? BTW there are no extra spaces in there you may have missed like "test " (Note the extra space at the end)
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
No there's no extra spaces.

My Shortcut word is: Testing

My Substitute text is: I just want to test this new "Hotstrings" feature.

Is there supposed to be quotation marks around the Shortcut word? I tried the Shortcut word with quotation marks and it didn't work. I must be doing something wrong...it can't be this complicated.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Nope no quotes. I just put quotations there so it would be easier for you to see. Just tested with what you worked and it was fine. Remove the quotes :)
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
I just got it to work. It was not clear to me that I needed to specifically tap the actual "Shortcut word", as opposed to the "Hotstring bar". I just happened upon that as the way it works.

Thanks for taking the time. Now I understand how to use it. It's a great feature, but you should really consider laying out some clear step-by-step instructions for how to use some of the features. At least those such as "Hotstrings", which are initially kind of tricky.

It's easy enough to use now that I have the hang if it, but the directions need to be more clear. I'm all for learning curves and figuring things out but sometimes I don't have the time. Even though it's fun to do, I need to use that time to cut to the chase via some clear instructions, so I can spend the time using the features to save time in the interest of getting things done.

After all it is mainly a productivity app - at least the way I use it. The aspects of it that save time need to be accessible and understandable to do so. You don't want to risk losing customers because the app is rich in features, but frustrating because they take too much time to find and learn to use.

A good guide would make a difference. Everybody doesn't have to use it all of the time or at all, but those who need it when they need it will surely appreciate it. It could be time well spent on your part.

Just something to think about. Thanks again for a fantastic and incredibly useful app.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Yeah, documentation is something I really have to work but glad it is working now for you anyway :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Just FYI, I'll probably make a tablet version of this app. I think I'm going to pick up the nexus 7 3G when it releases.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Updated OP with new info and such...long overdue I suppose lol
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
BTW, anyone interested in buying an unlocked/rooted galaxy nexus? Will be purchasing the 4 so if anyone wants to buy PM me. Will be selling after I get the 4 in my hands of course :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
So how many people got a nexus 4 preorder in?
[Android Apps and Games] winmod21:
Hello plbelanger — Just installed your Classic Notes app a few minutes ago. Will be using Swype Beta v1.3 on a GS3.

Looking forward to checking it out ! ;) Thanks very much.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Great, let me know what you think :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
BTW winmod the swype like feature in stock 4.2 is pretty awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] winmod21:
Thanks very much, plbelanger. ;)

Really enjoying it so far but haven't gotten very deep into it yet since downloading yesterday. Haven't even had time to go through all the settings as yet. Except for realizing that upon putting a check @ 'Read only' – one can then read notes without the keyboard popping-up, which is nice, as every time I closed a note, and then tapped on it to simply read it, the Swype Beta kb kept popping back up. That's as far I've gotten in settings so far. :o

Thanks for the heads-up re: 4.2 swype. Happen to really be enjoying the Swype Beta v1.3, bugs & all, so hoping that all continues to go well there until the AT&T update finally comes out, or I root, whichever happens first.

After having only iPhones the last four years, I've now had the Samsung Galaxy S3 for just 5 weeks, so still reading about rooting & all the different ROMS & recoveries & backups, etc. Both here, (which we noobies have been rather bluntly and preemptively ordered to do, before even thinking about making our first miserable post(s)! lol ), and over on Android Central as well.

So, still running: ICS 4.0.4 [build & base: ~LH9]

A very Happy Thanksgiving to You & Yours, plbelanger, and thanks again. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] kazzxtrismus:
I'd like to make a recording add it to a note and then post the note to an appointment in my calendar and also to a contract if possible..

Like

1.record a call

2.Post the recording to the notes I made during the call.

Post the note (with recorded call) to calendar and/or contact for later

e-Sex.. All of the carpral none of the tunnel
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Happy thanksgiving to all USians! :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Welp, finally put in my order for the Nexus 7 3G...almost time to start working on a tablet version :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Nexus 7 3G is out for delivery :) :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
And now it's being sent back because the gyroscope in it is totally messed up :(
[Android Apps and Games] rayulove69:
Oho..are you planning to buy N4 too?
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
I have one already :) I didn't think I was going to get one because the page kept giving me errors on launch day but somehow one of the orders I placed managed to get through :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Updated with the following changes:

+ Added import text file option within a note. This will append a files contents to an existing note.

+ You can now perform a search based on word length within a note.

+ Reverse string option added to text utilities

+ Added alignment options within a note - left, center, right. Can be found in text utilities.

+ Text utilties>URL extractor. This will extract all URLs from a given note and display them for easy clicking. Useful when not in read-only mode.

+ Multi-word search. Search for multiple words in one go and hilight them.

+ Minor tweaks here and there :P
[Android Apps and Games] rayulove69:
So how great is it?any issues? Planning on getting one myself!
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Uploaded a minor update. Just changed the app icon up a bit and made it a bit larger
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
It is quite nice! The overall feel is great though tbh I'm a bit scared if it drops it will shatter lol.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
BTW, what phone are you coming from? I guess my one complaint would be the screen doesn't seem as vibrant as my gnex.
[Android Apps and Games] rayulove69:
HTC Desire S .. My first android .. Very fond of it :) been with her for over one year and a half :) Do you just use nexus devices ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
As my main devices yes. The only nexus I skipped was the nexus s. I am a bit of jealous of the note 2 screen though lol.
[Android Apps and Games] rayulove69:
You just spoke my mind...though many people find that device awkward and very big...i find it a great device for all the purpose of a tablet and a phone ... Also that S-Pen seems very attractive to... Im not the artist kind but i dont stylus feels like natural way to write and more i see the review the more confused im getting about which one to get nexus 4 or note 2
[Android Apps and Games] mandingo1966:
Note 2

Note 2:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
You cannot go wrong either way IMO though to be fair I've never investigated how well supported the note 2 is in terms of custom ROMs and such. If you like tinkering with your devices then nexus 4 is probably for you :P Either way, both are fantastic devices.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Makes me wonder when the first 6" android device will be lol. I've heard rumors of something by Sony with that spec.
[Android Apps and Games] rayulove69:
Digged in the forums it has CM support already, with samsung devices custom rom support is pretty good. But again i would want to keep it stock or stock based to have the S-pen awesomeness and other samsung goodies intact unless some custom one comes with something better. Then again I am dreaming too much even before buying..
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Yeah, I've never tried a note 2 so not sure what you'd be missing in terms of Samsung apps. I'm sure you can probably just install the apks anyway if you really wanted.
[Android Apps and Games] sazhagianambi:
Thank you for the wonderful app...Just curious, widgets for notes and To do is still in plan for this? [just curious, no asking updates]
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Yes it is :)
[Android Apps and Games] rayulove69:
make you classic notes s-pen supported cause i bought note 2 :P
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
grats! note2 is a very nice choice.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Been working on a split pane option that I will upload later today. It allows for 2 notes/files open in one view.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Updated with the following changes:

- Zar added to currency preference (request)

- Cut at width option added in text utilities - Will cut every line of text in a note at the specified width

- Split pane option added. Open 2 notes/files in a single view. Nice for comparison or reference. Can also highlight differences between the two texts. Both views can be saved. Can be accessed from the note edit menu.

- Option added to place cursor position at either the beginning or end of a note when opening.

- Bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
Thanks for the new features and updates. They're great.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Certainly! Glad you find them useful.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Updated:

- Added option for hotstrings to be placed at cursor position as opposed to mass replacement of the shortcut word (though that is still there if you like that method)

- Added split-pane clone option. This will simply copy the current note into the split-pane.

- Added a help dialog for hotstrings (top right) in case anyone is unsure of what it actually is lol.

- Hotstrings can now be access from the "new" menu
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
BTW, with hotstrings now it appends a space prior to the substitute text. I should have mentioned that. I figured most would probably prefer it this way.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Happy holidays to those following this thread btw! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
Thanks and to you as well.
[Android Apps and Games] rayulove69:
Happy new year man
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Thanks to both of you ^^! :)
