[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seh6183:
You say you'd much rather have an independent browser brightness, when that is exactly what you have already. I think what you want is one consolidated brightness for the entire phone.

So i want to make this pretty straight forward, I'm in college, I like to read my books on my tablet, I like to do all sorts of work on my tablet and until now I was a iLoser carrying around an iPad 2 which I had plenty of apps that I became accustomed too. That said, I now rock the Prime and the Galaxy SII skyrocket. I love android much more than crApple's ios. Can I get any student/professor/anybody that uses their fancy new hardware for work and the occasionally play to give me some great apps tips for the tablet? (first thing I downloaded was Evernote!)? Thanks a bunch! Perhaps if we get a bunch of suggestions we can make a section in the app's section for "school" or maybe "productivity" I also want to add that while I don't have the dock (yet) I will be purchasing one when I see it in stores. (whenever that is!)

*if everyone likes the idea of a productivity/school thread in the apps section I wouldn't mind making it and updating it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
(1) Android Office - The most complete office app I know. It's even got a spell checker.

(2) Ezpdf - best for hand write directly into your pdf files.

(3) Repligo - Best for opening very large pdf files. I use it to open and use regularly a pdf file that is 2000+ pages with lots of images. Renders pages instantly.

(4) Printershare - print through cloud print or through wireless.

(5) Writepad stylus - note taking app with palm rejection, meaning you can rest your hand on the screen and still be able to write. Can save your notes as pdf docs.

(6) Antipaper - Another note taking app that has palm rejection.

FYI, all of these apps were free at one point or other on amazon appstore.

Any preference between the 2? Looking for a good note taking app for lectures that dont have slides (where ezpdf will work for me)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
I like the preloaded supernote app.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
I prefer writepad stylus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
I checked out both and one of the biggest problems I have with both is that I don't seem to be able to make folders to put notebooks in. I would want to have folders for each class, and then within the folder each notebook would be a lecture. Fairly surprised I cant do somethjing like that so not sure if I am missing something
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
Well, you could create your own folders. After you're done with a particular class, you could output the saved notes for that day as pdf and then store it in your own folder.

Or you could make several notebooks, one for each class, and then keep writing into the notebooks as if it's a paper notebook.

Added by edit.

Another idea is this. Just make blank pdf files or pdf files with lines and then use something like ezpdf or repligo to write directly into the pdf file.

Just a couple ideas.

The main idea is make due with what you have. Be creative. Don't just have a set of ideas of what you want and then get stumped when you can't do exactly what you want.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Oh yah it wouldn't be a big deal if I couldn't, just wanted to check if I was missing some way to do it.

If I can't make folders so long as I name them correctly it shouldnt be a problem since I can do a search for notebooks which should work out the same as a folder so long as my naming is good.

I should probably do the whole export and put in my own folders anyways as a just in case
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone09:
I seem not be able to find it on any market.

You don´t happen to have a description/link, do you?

EDIT: I suppose you were talking about androffice, right?

In this case, I found it. But it looks like it doesn´t support .***x files, or does it?

Also it doesn´t support formulas in word documents, right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveCheeseman:
Due to the nature of the lecture and slides it's best if I annotate/markup the slides themselves so Ive been using ezpdf, but I really like the ease of use and features of the stylus/handwriting, especially the zoom feature on antipaper (Ive seen this on some ipad pdf reader as well :( ). So are the any note taking apps that allow you to draw on pdfs, or any pdf reader/editors with more robust annotation/markup tools?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] V6993:
Repligo, listed in the 2nd reply
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
You can zoom in on your pdf in ezpdf (double tap, or two finger.... opposite of pinch) and do your annotations like that if you need to get closer for your notes.

And when you are zoomed in and have free hand annotations selected, you can use 2 fingers to scroll around even while still in annotation mode.

As for the repligo suggestion I personally found it not quite as nice for annotations because you have to do 3 taps just to start an annotation. Once to bring up menu's, once to select the menu, then again to select "draw freehand", where with ezpdf its just one click on the top bar and your going.

edit. If you are taking lots of notes off of powerpoint/pdf slides, check out this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435453

With some help figured out how to add some extra blank space to the side of my slides for added room for notes (so the slide takes pretty well the whole screen and all of it is capable of annotating on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveCheeseman:
Yeah I've tried all the apps mentioned in this thread, i was asking if there are any pdf annotation apps with the feature set of a stand alone hand writing app. I don't feel like ezpdf and repligo have the robust annotation features that i want.

yeah that's why I've been using ezpdf as of late, i especially Luke the fact that you can resize all the annotations after the fact. And thanks for the link
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jerrygooch:
Sorry, I've been a bit busy, I plan on testing all these apps and pointers out tonight! thanks for the info!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
what about the stock supernote app? Also, you could try just saving extra blank PDFs to your TP with lines in them (ie lined paper), as someone else suggested.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] achuong08:
i dont think amazon or the app store works on the prime, atleast i cant pull it up :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
do you have an android phone? you could install it there, back it up to an SD card via titanium backup and transfer it to your prime via TiBu restore.

I've found Dropbox to be really helpful. Not really an android specific app but it has been really helpful in group projects and case write-ups I need to access for class discussions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MooreW:
How can you even use this? I've tried but trying to write small letters on this is impossible. All i get withthis program are small lines and dots.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] punitenshu:
Tap on the "zoom" button up on top--it activates a window at the bottom of the screen that has a portion of the page blown up to a size where it's possible to write using a stylus.

I'm a bit more fond of SuperNote's way of just auto-shrinking things than constantly shifting the window around though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MooreW:
Thanks dude. Think i prefer supernote though. Just seems more robust 2 me anyways.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratchoke99:
Just bumping this thread to see if any new apps came out people have tested and would recommend. I don't have a stylus but I do have a doc. What's most recommended for organizing notes for different classes.

Also, are there any pdf readers that allow me to highlight important pieces of information. I hope to be able to just download PDFs for future school text, and highlight like I would normally do on a normal book.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgraziotin:
M.Sc. Student under thesis here.

I strongly suggest Evernote. I am organizing all my thesis notes with it (experiments planning, statistical tests,..). The app is optimized for tablets and can be installed on Android, iOS, Windows, OS X, and Linux (wine).

A valid alternative for DropBox is Sugarsync. It offers more features, IMHO.

As Office Suite, check out QuicOffice Pro HD (not free). Optimized for tablets and can connect to your GDoc, Evernote and Sugarsync accounts

Personal thoughts and opinions.

As a college student myself, I have found that setting up Splashtop THD to connect to my machine at home and using Microsoft Office directly on the tablet screen is just irreplaceable. Keep in mind I use the dock and an external mobile mouse however (Fact: you can type faster than a stylus can detect your handwriting).

For people who are at UNI's that lock down their internet (like the one I am at), I just run an SSH server at home on port 80 (if your UNI doesn't allow access to this there are greater issues afloat) and tunnel my Splashtop through that (this way it encrypts my connection as well as I believe Splashtop has no encryption built-in).

Other than Splashtop, I find myself reading most in the Amazon Kindle app as I like the way it functions. I have since converted most of my eBooks and other reading material with Calibre and then finally Mobi2Mobi, which adds in the last few settings so that the Kindle app shows book covers and remembers page locations for books manually added (I know, I know... OCD at it's finest).

For note taking ontop of PDFs another solution that you can check out that I am going to be trying next quarter (when it starts in a week) is Mantano Reader... I was using ezPDF before and didn't like the increased time between switching pages that it seems to add (every other reader does this quicker imho).

And like most others have described using some sort of syncing software is great as well. I personally am using FolderSync as I can sync folders directly over SFTP to keep my school files synced between my tablet and PC. I also use this program to sync with my Dropbox account which I use for all of my pictures and videos I take with my tablet and/or phone. I also use my Dropbox account to give people public download access to school related files.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] steviet23:
As a student myself I found ezpdf, Polaris office, Google Docs, and Quill to be the most useful.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgraziotin:
Thank you for reporting Mantano Reader. I thought that ezPDF reader was the best available one. Fortunately, I was wrong. I am already in love with Mantano Reader.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
hm i've been using ezPDF and repligo reader so far. will have to give it a shot!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bigbaddie:
Just downloaded ezPDF.. but I can't seem to download files from my school website on my Prime. Is that normal or do i need to download it on my PC and then move it to my prime?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bigbaddie:
nah.. files will download, but halfway through the powerpoint, it turns into symbols

In which programs? And have you tried transferring to a computer and trying the files on office?

Annotations

Adobe Reader was recently updated with this functionality, finally!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hakarune:
This just happens to be an area I'm great at, I even wrote a quick post about it here: http://wp.me/pV95q-7O I was also in my Uni newspaper about being all digital using just my Prime and phone in school and nothing else.

So the best is Evernote for notes, pair it up with StudyBlue app and you have a power house of note taking and studying at all times.

For eBooks/PDFs, there is nothing better than Mantano reader, despite what anyone one might say, it IS the best and will even read your books to you and notate/bookmark every PDF and eBook I've thrown at it (as long as they were made correctly).

Also I use CamScanner regularly to scan handouts and turn them into PDFs and upload them to Google Docs and have them turned into Standard .doc format files (makes doing the study guides my professors handout a lot easier).

I use EasyBib app for making my works cited pages

To plan on upcoming HW and class stuff I use My Homework App and it is amazing at keeping track of all my HW and when it's due.

Here's also a few screens of my School Hub on my prime:

https://picasaweb.google.com/103460798847241997563/SchoolHub?authuser=0&feat=directlink

Also I use Clear Record to record all classes with it's noise reduction ability.

Lastly I add Ivona Voice (free) to make the reading of books a lot better.... As well as I backup all eBooks/PDFs (including handouts via CamScanner) on DropBox

Note: I almost never have to link into my computer at home for anything unless I forgot something on the HD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] loveableterrorepic4g:
Evernote is the reason I have done well enough in my classes this semester, paired with skitch! it makes for an awesome tool during lab in A&P to highlight and label portions of an actual sheep heart, so it makes it easier to identify the valves etc during our lab practical exams. It has even made it so I can help with study guides, and since it all syncs to the central evernote site it has saved my ass a few times when I forgot to print my papers :D

I use the MyLibrary app for my books, strictly because I use the hell out of Project Gutenberg for my Literature course (pay $80+ for my composition literature book, $40+ to rent it, or Free to download all the stories that are off copyright anyways, give it a try, and donate if you can). The Nook and Kindle app are ok if someone has a Nook and wants to use the LendMe feature. Other than that I have found that the most invaluable thing for me when switching from the laptop to the prime as a complete replacement was the dock, it is a necessity!

Good Luck!:cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] geekygirl74:
Thanks to everyone that recommended so many apps. I've upgraded to Transformer 300, primarily for school and it outshines every tablet I have ever had. Most of the apps listed I'd already found on my own, but I found some new ones too. I hope it's okay that I post a link to this thread on a discussion board at my school, there has been a massive debate about tablets, and I've been fighting hard for tablet use as it's an online college and of course being the androgeek that I am, I always recommend Android tablets.

Seven Apps for College Students

No student has time to sort through all the note-taking apps and find the best one. These top 7 apps for college students are the best apps from among the 20,000+ available.

Quizlet:

This app is the king of all flashcard programs. With over 10 million sets of cars, which can all be downloaded for free, there is a set for every student. In the event that you are studying something no one else ever has, there is a way to create new flashcard sets, as well. Chemists, mathematicians and French majors will all find this app useful. Quizlet can be used on both Apple and Android devices.

inClass:

The days of listening to a lecture and taking notes from the blackboard are long past. Today, professors use PowerPoint presentations, photos, videos and other rich media to help their students learn. InClass provides a way to capture the media-rich content of a class. It records both video and audio, can store text notes and captures handouts as images. The notes stored in inClass can be shared through iTunes or FaceBook.

iStudiezPro:

It helps college students learn how to manage time. There are many time-management apps available, but this one is made for students. It has an overview, planner, assignments, instructions and holidays function. Through these divisions, students can track their classes, study groups and assignments. There is also a way to track one’s grades. IStudiezPro works on Apple devices.

iProcrastinate:

It breaks large tasks (e.g. class projects, research papers, organizing an extracurricular event) into digestible lists. These lists can be rearranged and shared with others. Currently this app is only available on the iPhone and online, but an iPad version is in the works.

Outline:

It uses outlines to breakdown notes, books and large projects. Creating an outline is easy, as is editing one. This works on Apple products and with Dropbox.

LoseIt:

Many freshman struggle with their weight (as do all college students). LoseIt can help students keep off the infamous freshman 15, by monitoring their diet and exercise. Users enter a few basic details and their ideal weight. LoseIt then provides a daily calorie budget and helps users track their progress.

Angry Birds:

It is an essential college app. Students never know when they will find themselves bored nearly to death by a long lecture. In those moments, flinging some birds into the air can be very rewarding. (Pro Tip: Play on mute!)

Some of these apps were specifically designed for college and university students; others were made for the general public. All, however, are indispensable tools that help people survive college.

Ankidroid is by far the most POWERFUL flashcard app. It runs on an algorithm showing you cards a specified and calculated intervals to help you learn thing properly. Their desktop app is also incredibly powerful for handling and managing notes. It also has many online decks that you can download.

I just gave up my EVO which I was a pro at rooting. I am totally lost with the GS2. Is there something similar to unrevoked.com ? Who are the more popular GS2 developers? I was a Fan of Virus Roms, MikG, and Energy Roms. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Rooting the SGS2 is really easy, all you need todo is flash a kernel.

Recovery and the kernel are fused together, whenever you flash a kernel you are flashing recovery, so to get CWM you need a kernel with CWM.

No such thing as S-off (unlocked bootloaders woo!)

A good guide to everything, clickme

The modem is almost unbrickable (people have recovered form flashing a i9000 modem by just flashing a new modem)

You never need to put a .pit into odin or repartition.

The current ICS leaks are unstable and not really daily drivers.

Stock roms download links plus howto

Carrier branded firmware

Easiest way to root

As far as popular roms, poke around the original android section, pretty much all the roms in there are good.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkmn760:
I had an issue installing this version of Google voice and figured out a fix. Since I saw no post on the issue I will provide my fix for those that are interested..........

For those that still use the old Google voice to route the calls through the one number (now its one number per contact) to use the friends and family minutes this will tell you how to load it onto the nexus without getting the error.

Install the new version (or any version that works) from the market and set it up (allow permissions etc). Then uninstall and restore a backup (titanium backup) of the old app (0.3.4) from a phone that it worked on. I backed it up off my incredible and moved the titanium backup files over to my nexus to restore the app/data. Everything is working and I get my free calls again. Don't forget to back it up from the nexus so you don't have to do this process again.

I hope this helps.

PS I would post the APK, but I am not sure it is allowed? Either way it should be easy to find. Good Luck!

EDIT: Typos :-(

I installed the latest version of the app from the market and then uninstalled it after completely setting it up. Then I dowloaded the apk file of version 0.3 from one of my emails that I had attached it to on gmail and installed it. It installed fine. When I open the app and click Next on the first screen, it crashes. Can you please help. Can you share your backup file for version 0.3.4(pm) and maybe I could try restoring from that.

Thank you so much for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] hdoan48:
I have an Asus TF101, no dock. A few weeks ago, I rooted and installed CWM Recovery. Then I decided to unroot and remove CWM Recovery. I followed the method provided at TheUnlockr site to unroot and restore the stock Asus Recovery. As I didn't installed any custom rom, I didn't flash the "repacked-8.2.3.13_US_without_SU_app.zip" file and only flashed the "8239USrecovery.zip" file. Everything went fine: I got unrooted and CWM Recovery was removed. However the Superuser app and the program /system/xbin/su were not removed. I tried to do a complete factory reset but that couldn't remove or un-install su and Superuser. I want to know whether I can use the viperMod Primer tool to only use option 2 to unroot and remove su and Superuser app or I would need to re-root (option 1) first then unroot with option 2. In other words, can we use option 2 of the tool (unroot) wihout being root. Thanks for helping.
