One feature that will definitely help maximize the utility of this app is if you can add the option of adding the whole notebook as a raster image (png) under export.

The raster image export to HTC notes app is awesome and that ways we can still have the notes app run in the background and record the meeting/lecture and add the raster image to the note.

Also, you should add another layer... Meaning that in a notebook, rather than having pages, you should try to have notes, and each note have pages. You can do this easily by renaming notebook as notes, and adding a notebook feature that can have multiple notes. This particular feature will make this the best app for a school/college student.

For example, my notebook can be called "Anatomy"

In Anatomy, I can have notes like "chapter 1, arteries"

In that 'chapter 1, arteries' note I can have multiple pages of writings.

Hope you implement these features, as this is a class app and has the potential to be an app that may be an absolute Necessity for every n-trig enabled tablet.

Keep up the great work, I really appreciate your time and effort!

Thank you

I've, well, checked out the competition. Considering PhatPad, FreeNote, Infinite Design, and the pioneer of vector in Android, MaplePaint, and where it looks to me like they're headed, I would like to see in Quill a preservation of it's speed and cleanness and a sole purpose of great handwritten vector notes. The other apps are trying to pack too much in and they already feel clunky, and not entirely class-notes effective. If you can keep it (and me) keeping up with a fast-talking multi-doctorate, you've got a long-standing winner IMHO.

A few export, sync and share options would be welcome, like perhaps Dropbox, Box, a simple all-data SD (wherever) backup would be wise, too. Easily converted & otherwise edited png format would be welcome to people who aren't familiar with and/or don't need pdf markup. I have to agree, some options like png or even jpg export might not slow the notes-taking part of the app down, but would add some flexibility like sharing via MMS, Facebook, or whatever else kids are using these days.

I think a seperate app, or perhaps an add-on for pdf markup, or better yet, importing, is a really great idea. I imagine lots of folk would like to keep their markups organized with their notes and use one app. qPDF is the only real markup tool I've found so far. I have no idea how the whole copyright thing would (wouldn't) work; some of development is entirely *too* social. It strikes me as an elephant of a project, but worth pursuing in the long-term.

Pen nibs are fun, and I think a few would be helpful, but there will be other apps that are for calligraphy and drawing with tons of them, and they will have too many choices while I'm taking notes. slowing me and the app down. But in congruence with the title of the app, a brush/nib customizer app to export nibs into Quill, still keeping a limited (customizeable?) number of them for choosing from. I just love how clean, fast and elegant Quill is to use, and that's really, IMHO, what sets it apart.

Also, if I can put in an actual, doable feature request, I'd love some five-line staff paper background. It would certainly be unique in the Market right now, and there are PC/iOS programs that can deal with the PDF for OCR/playback. The music writing apps out there right now, well... there's a reason I'm asking.

OK. This sounds really slobbery-dog obnoxious now that I've read it. Sorry. I love this app. I was, and am so excited to see something that does what it does, and what I need so well.

Will this work with a capacitive pen and the Acer iconia a500 I'm asking because my dad has on and has been looking for something to take notes with
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Janis:
It's a dollar. You could be the first to try it and find out for everybody.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] obscure.detour:
Yes it does. His last update included improved features for capacitive pens.

Cheers.

I seem to be experiencing some kind of weird lag issue, possibly related to palm rejection. When part of my hand is resting on the screen while I write, sometimes the beginnings of my pen strokes don't register. This seems to only happen when my hand is resting on the screen, and it happens most often immediately following my touching of the screen. I.e., I'm writing along fine with only the pen touching the screen, then as soon as a part of my hand comes in contact with the screen I lose the beginning of my next stroke.

Details:

Thinkpad Tablet

Pen input mode: filter out touch events when writing

Gave the title a download last night, for my Asus Transformer TF-101. Great app and works well with a capacitive pen.

I'm a field engineer and need to make sketches and take notes while out and about. I'm a little tired of bringing around a slew of engineering-pad paper, and trying to keep track of it when I get back to the office. I've tried using Autodesk's Sketchbook Mobile, but it's slow as dog meat and really doesn't make life in the field any easier. This application is much more responsive.

The only niggles I have are that I rotate my tab a lot while trying to make my sketches. I wish there was a way where I could lock the orientation of the paper workspace, but have the on-screen tools rotate. Also, I'd love to have the double-tap to zoom feature active on non-active-stylus tabs. A straight-line feature would be terrific as well, but only because my shaky hands can't to that alone (I use a straight-edge on paper right now).

Thanks for the great app, totally worth a buck.

This seems to be a TPT problem which lenovo did not fix yet (since >3Months)

I have the same on mine.

edit: I think its the palm rejection which is not working

Top of the line app.

Using this on my Transformer, HC3.2. Picked up a stylus with the conductive cloth. The fountain pen is great, looks better than the plain old line. Great support from developer also.

5 stars all the way around.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] tableteer:
I have exactly the same problem.

EDIT: I'm also sure it's a hardware issue. Typical for N-Trig.

speed

Hey everyone...I was just wondering about speed? I watched the main video on youtube and the person is writing at a fairly moderate speed. I can see a delay between their movement and the actual writing on the screen. I write really fast and I was wondering if anyone who has tried this does also and what results are for you? I am in the process of trying to choose between the digital paper Bamboo style pens or something like this. I'd rather something like this to reduce what I have to carry but if I will not be able to go at my natural speed, I'm not sure...

Any insights you can share with me would be greatly appreciated :)
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Janis:
I like Quill largely because it's the fastest I've found. I don't notice too much waiting nor going back to fix what it missed. Your setup may be different from mine, though. If you really want to know, you have to try it.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] splotz:
@earthabbey

On which device do you want to use it ?

It could be different to the n-trig stylus on the lenovo android tablet

ICS?!

How's it working on ICS?! I'm going to install a leaked ICS rom on my Galaxy Note tomorrow! :)
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] obscure.detour:
I'm not sure how it is working on ICS as we don't have ICS (yet). CM9 port in the works and Lenovo says they are going to release it within the next 6 months :/

I'm curious how it'll work on your device as I am interested in the Galaxy Note, and Samsung's S-Pen tech in general. If you don't mind, please post your results :)

Cheers.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
It's not that bad, mate. Lenovo said end of May, and they were challenged to make it by the end of April instead. CM9 will likely be ready before then.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Ellork:
What would be nice...

+1 for lasso

+1 to extent the paper (akf: MS Notes)

+1 Hand wirting recognition.

I really start to like this from notes mobile. It's accurate and makes it easy to share notes and also search them... Best thing is to be able to add a sketch and combine the best out of both options, drawing mode and recognition mode...

Anyway, a great app and I can only encourage everyone to buy it and support Volker to continue...
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Volker1:
Not sure if you mean Quill or the Galaxy note, but I did test Quill on ICS (but not on the Galaxy Note) and it works fine. Please post your impressions when you flash the lastest and greatest!
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] HecaThePeca:
Works great on my Galaxy Note with ICS 4.0.3 :D The S-Pen works flawlessly! The ROM is not very stabe though and I may have to downgrade...

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

Oh by the way... finger input seems to draw very fine lines. Is that on purpose? Also, a blackboard mode would be really useful: saves battery and useful in the dark (because who wouldn't want to write in total darkness?)
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] obscure.detour:
This is great news Volker1 :)

That is nice that everything works great in ICS :) I also like the the idea of a blackboard mode. Interesting indeed :) Blackboard mode, lasso cut/copy and importing of images would make Quill the perfect solution for all my school needs IMO.

And continue the wonderful work Volker1. I'd buy it again (and again) for the addition of features like mentioned above.

Cheers. :)
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] HecaThePeca:
Same here! :)

Now that I got started, scrolling page view would be really useful, so you don't have to switch back and forth between pages when e.g. doing math.

Also inserting space would be veeery useful! I.e. if I want to scribble something between two lines, I can just "pull the lines apart". Windows Journal and Xournal and Jarnal for Linux are good examples of how "insert space" works.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] twospirits:
I asked over in the Galaxy Note section if someone can test Quill on the Note and failed to remember that someone already did a few posts back.

But it only works in ICS, it doesn't show up in the market for the Galaxy Note Android version 2.3.4.

Galaxy 10.1

Hi

Is anyone using this on the Galaxy tab 10.1? Would love to know how well it works. Considering getting a pen to take business meeting notes.

Let me know if soneone is using it in this context.

Thanks

Louis
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Valdeck:
I am sure I am not the only one to try this but I did attempt to side load the latest Quill.APK on a stock note and it is giving a error about parsing the package. I figured it would be a no go but I really like the looks of quill and can not wait to throw my money at the screen and figured I would add my experience here for anyone who wanted to know.

EDIT

I see it is already noted in the supported devices page on the wiki so I feel a bit silly posting it here but I assume I am not the only Galaxy Noter that has come by so I will leave this up in case people read this before they check the wiki
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Volker1:
I don't have one myself but people have reported success after using the TouchScreenTune app on their galay tab 10.1" to change the settings to be more pen-friendly.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] twospirits:
Is there a way for the app to allow install on a Gingerbread device like the Galaxy Note? I know that it works fine in ICS and ICS will come to the Note, but just wondering.

Thanks for all your hard work.

[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] lrk:
That's awesome news. When you say "S-Pen works flawlessly", do you mean that pressure sensitivity also works? That might convince me to flash ICS to my note :) Also, now that I know about Quill, I can't wait for the Note 10.1...
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] HecaThePeca:
I had to downgrade from ICS because I couldn't make or receive phone calls :(

Damn, I actually didn't pay attention to pressure sensitivity, so I'm not sure... also, I didn't know there was an app called LectureNotes, which I definitely need to try out.

Time to reinstall ICS! (there's a working version repacked by chainfire)
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Anapmac:
Just want to say that this is a great app and Volker listens to feedback very well. Any plans for a pdf viewer app or pdf backgrounds so we can do annotations?

Some Useful Info

Hey Volker, great job you're doing with quill. I can't express enough how useful it is for me both in academics and work. I can have all my notes in one place without loads of papers and tagging makes it easy for me to find what I want with ease.

However, I have a request, I think it will help a few of us rooted thinkpad users: I've tried using writepad stylus in the past and it has a setting for only stylus mode or touch. I know that quill does this automatically and recognizes if you have a thinkpad but with the latest release of alpha CM9 for the thinkpad, it is not able to recognize the tablet (probably because of build.prop differences or drivers :rolleyes:).

Also, in the past I have had to edit my build.prop to spoof another device if I wanted to download a market app that was "incompatible" with my tablet. When I edited the build.prop, quill failed to recognize the thinkpad and only offered touch input.

With these issues, I propose it would be very useful to add a setting just like writepad stylus to manually select pen input. Because of the importance of quill to me, I had to restore my thinkpad back to lenovo's stock rom after trying CM9 which, though is in alpha, is wayyyyy faster and more stable than stock. So I'm stuck between CM9 and no quill pen input or buggy, slow, stock rom and functional quill. Between a rock and a very hard (and buggy) place :D .

I really appreciate you looking into this and the CM9 devs (koshu and Jon) are very helpful and I'm sure will assist you with any info you need.

ps: I'm no dev, I don't know how difficult or easy this will be, so I appreciate any reply; but please no flaming here, I seen too much rudeness on this forum today. If anyone has nothing useful to say, then silence is golden :p
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Volker1:
Do you happen to know android.os.Build.MODEL for the CM9 alpha on the TPT? I could just add that to the database.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] darkhandsome18:
Didn't take note of the android.os.Build.MODEL but I'll go back to the rom so I can pull the info and post it here. Thanks

Hi everyone, I installed ICS (RocketRom 1.5) on my Galaxy Note yesterday, and the first thing I did was try out Quill! It's great. The pen works flawlessly, including pressure sensitivity. The only thing that I could not get to work was the "two finger scroll" and "double tap while writing". Both options (and Pen Input Mode) are disabled.

This makes it very hard to use quill on the relatively small screen of the Galaxy Note.

I read that ICS has an integrated pen api, and it seems to work with Quill, because otherwise pressure sensitivity wouldn't work...Volker, can you activate these options, when ICS tells Quill that a pen is present?

Thanks for the great work!!
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Volker1:
Looks like RocketRom is not reporting that a stylus is available. I do use the ICS stylus api when available. I'll add a way to force enable the stylus for all rom cookers out there ;)

Multiple tagging request

Hi Volker,

I love this app, handwritten notes is the reason why I bought the Lenovo TPT and your app gives meaning to this device. I have a request regarding page tagging:

I've noticed that you can only tag one page at a time. So I'd like an option, maybe at the notebook overview, where I can select multiple pages and tag them all at the same time, say with "class march 5" tag.

The reason is I'm planning to use the app at college. I'm taking 2 courses, for each I'll have 1 different notebook. But I would like to keep the pages separated according to the week (lesson). With this I could filter out the pages lets say from class five and the export them to Evernote (with the name of that tag) in PDF.

Looking forward to hearing your comments

Thanks a lot.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] lrk:
Thanks a lot! I actually think that the pen is recognized:

- In the app LectureNotes Free, if you go to the bottom of the Help screen, there is a test wether a hadware pen is present. For me it says the pen input is registered with "sec_e-pen", while finger touch is "sec_touchscreen"

- The touchscreen test *#*#2664#*#* registers pressure (so does Quill!)

- Photoshop Touch registers the pen, they even have a hovering cursor (which is awesome!)

- The Android 4 API Demo "Touch Paint" (can't post a links yet :( ) registers the pen and even the pen button.

I hope this helps, keep up the good work. (I can't wait to have the big Galaxy Note 10.1 with Quill. If only I had something like that 10 years ago...:) )
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] HecaThePeca:
Hi Irk, how's RocketRom working for you? Do phone calls work right etc.?

Can't...resist...the urge...to...install...preliminary ICS version... ;)
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] catki:
I really love Quill - Volker saved a few trees writing this app :) Pen Input is really fast on my Thinkpad Tablet, and the use of presure sensitive input makes it fun to write :)

Only feature I'm missing so far is a way to move pages between notepads. It would be a help for me, if I could move my pages between different books.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] lrk:
It's working fine for me, but I haven't really be able to test it thoroughly...I'm abroad, so I don't make phone calls. But text messages work well, and everything else that I use is ok as well...sometimes it acts up a little (force closes some things) but that's not a bother for me.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] Volker1:
Sounds like the pen works correctly but Samsung forgot to report the android.hardware.touchscreen.pen system feature. In any case, I ordered a GN and will make sure that Quill supports it properly. :D

Really looking forward to this app working on the Galaxy Note, shame I can't buy it currently through the android market while on the 0.49p offer.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] HecaThePeca:
A few suggestions

Hi! I have a few more suggestions:

1) Add space! Quite often one just needs to add writing in a page full of text, so it's importanto to be able to insert empty space by moving parts of text down. Page size would prolly need to be increased...

2) User determined save folder. So I could save the notebooks in a dropbox folder for easy syncing!

Also, please take a look at Jarnal, Xournal or Gournal source codes if you haven't done that already. They are Java apps (I think), so should have some resemblance to Android apps (?). Specifically the insert space -thing can probably be found in Jarnal sources...

Also, I really suggest you would team up with the developer(s) of e.g. LectureNotes, Antipaper Notes etc. The number of tablets with active digitizers (n-trig or wacom) is only going to go up, and it won't be long until most university/college/high school students all have tablets (which will NOT be iPads, since a stylus and affordability is a must). Stay competitive agains the big developers!

Anyway, good luck! :)
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] whod:
I second the idea of inserting empty space.

What could also work is the ability to set our own custom dimensions for the page.

There could be a mode where you start with a paper that fits to the screen and every time u drag the screen, the dimensions of the page change to include that space.

This sort of feature would be amazing for hand-drawn mindmaps.
[Thinkpad Tablet Themes and Apps] -Neos-:
No doubt, the best available notes app! I bought my TPT only a few days ago and i already downloaded this app...

But i really miss the import of Pictures or the lasso copy/cut/paste-function like it is in the stock App of the TPT...

These two funktions would make the students life much more easier ;)
