[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buck2202:
Same thing happened to me today after trying the official CM10 nightly and then trying to revert to an AOKP (ICS) nandroid. Did you try a JB ROM and then try to go back to ICS?

I read in the CM10 preview thread that nandroid backups don't include kernels (which was a surprise to me)...I'd suggest either reflashing the ROM that you're trying to use over itself (immediately after restoring your backup), or just reflashing the kernel itself (if you were using a custom one). I reflashed guevor's kernel after my nandroid restore and that fixed the problem for me. Reflashing the entire ROM should maintain your data/settings and also include the kernel.

My guess is that options or mount points for the internal storage are just not compatible between ICS and JB.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingh:
Yes, I tried CM10 preview, then tried to revert to my CM9 CWM backup. And reflashing CM9 did not work. I have had to flash Android Revolution to get my system workable again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achandler2:
Dude you Rock! Fixed my problem
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingh:
Alright, problem fixed, but it took a lot of work.

What I did first is downloaded and flashed Android Revolution for my TF101 (link on these forums), then, after verifying it picked up my storage correctly, I downloaded and installed SuperSU, ROM Manager and ROM Manager Premium (the last I had paid for previously anyway).

I downloaded via the manager the CGM 10 Nightly for my TF101 (I guess this would also work with CGM 9 Nightly, RC or Full Release)

I opted to Backup the current rom, clear the Dalvik cache and also to wipe system and data and let it do its work. And bingo, it booted into CGM with a working internal storage, and also on JB now, since this is the CGM10 nightly which uses JB instead of ICS as base.

What's up with all these apps out there that require the ability to create network sockets, read network state, take pictures using the camera, etc? I'm talking about simple apps like a flashlight or power button.

I'm somewhat new to android, and it seems to me that some of the stuff out there is borderline malicious, or at least has the capability to be so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eagle0042:
In the app's Play Store description or on their website, some developers explain what their permissions are for. I suppose that can be taken with a grain of salt, as a app with malicious intent isn't going to say what it really does. But I do find it useful to hear what the app dev says it's permissions are used for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pc103:
Try LBE Privacy Guard for filtering permissions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eagle0042:
Thanks for the recommendation.

Seems like CM7 had the ability to disable individual app permissions...I wonder about CM9. I haven't used it long enough to find out if that feature carried over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tref:
Perhaps I don't know enough about these apps, but these sort of permissions make me suspicious. Below are the permissions for LBE. Why would a program reportedly designed to protect users from malware require this much latitude?

Send SMS messages.

Write to external storage.

Read the low-level system log files.

Access coarse (e.g., Cell-ID, WiFi) location.

Initiate a phone call without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call being placed.

Read only access to phone state.

Get notified that the operating system has finished booting.

Open windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other applications.

Modify of the telephony state - power on, mmi, etc.

Open network sockets.

Access fine (e.g., GPS) location.

PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.

Call any phone number, including emergency numbers, without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call being placed.

LMAO tlkin about 'flashlight' using 'camera' permissions xD

You ARE aware the flashlight app uses the flash, which is part of the camera, right?

Without the permission, youd basicly have an icon

Your source? Current permissions are listed here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite&hl=en However I too don't understand why Google / Manufacturers & Carriers don't set a standard for apps declaring and justifying their permissions. A minority of developers have shown it can be done. Who really wins under the current recklessness?

An excellent thread on last year's release is at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1091065&page=1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tref:
What's your point? The LED and the camera are separate pieces of hardware. Using one is not all inclusive to using the other. And even if it were, why does the author list the ability to take pictures with the flashlight? Surely you're not suggesting that everytime the flashlight is lit that pictures need to be taken?

My source is the Amazon App Store. The entity who wins is that which makes use of the information gathered through malicious apps, and/or through the charges which arise as a result of their ability to control unrelated features of the phone.

Android strikes me as a wild west show, where just about anything goes and the lack of true oversight (not to mention ethics), is creating a hazardous condition to which most people seem either unaware or uncaring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pc103:
More like a carnival or a casino where most patrons ignore the vendors' schemes and the house odds to buy the services. In the end those who care are left to make limited judgement calls about who can be trusted on our phones.

It's interesting that the Play Store posting for LBE lists different permissions from what you found on Amazon. IMO The weakly regulated apps on Play Store are far more likely to be snatching market research for resale to advertisers than trying to tap our finances or steal IDs, but we agree that ethics are barely an afterthought in the race to monetize, and occasionally major criminals will slip through.

For now I'm trusting LBE and amazed at how well my installed apps continue functioning minus the permissions I have blocked. Ditto Startup Manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tref:
Yes it is interesting. And to err on the side of caution I'll probably hold off on installing it. If the Amazon description is correct it would become a matter of putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] est_cap:
Hi people, I bought a generic tablet. A Boxchip A13@ 1.2Ghz, GPU Mali400,, 512Ram.. etc.

The thing is I flashed it with a compatible rom, but some configurations are wrong.

I got wrong button mapping, and aI solved it, but Not the strangest thing happens... it seems the configuration of rotation is allways a step behind.

What do I mean? Well.. having 4 possible positons (Portrait, Upside down portrait, Landscape and Upside down landscape),

When I put it n the poision of landscape, the screen rotates to upside down portrait. In upside down portrait to upside down landscape, in upside down landsacpe goes to portrait, and in portrait it goes to landscape. It's driving me nuts! haha I temporarily disabled rotation, but It's a nice thing to have enabled..

In conclusion, It seems the configuration somehow maps the position +90 degrees clockwise more than it should.

Where is it maped? can somebody help me? THanks.

I have had the exact same thing on a tablet I bought for my son, did you ever resolve it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aalupatti:
One of the main reasons for getting this tablet for most would be to make use of the s pen.

This is a short review of the note apps that make use of both handwritten and typed notes.

1. Samsung apps - snote and smemo .. really good apps and lots of editing options... Its default and I am sure every one knows about it

2. I have both lecture notes ( paid) and freenote( donate version ) .

Both are good but I like freenote more as it offers more editing options and easy to make quick notes.

Both devs are very responsive to requests..

3. If you use evernote, it has an association with skitch. Works well but very limited editing options...

4. Onenote - Best note application ever.. Nothing can beat it but in android it not well implemented yet...

In android i use onenote from microsoft and mobilenoter . Both these onenote applications needs more updates.

Onenote from Microsoft app - you will a internet connection all the time to get it working smooth... Offline access is kind of limited. No handwritten notes.

Mobilenoter is expensive but give more options to editing and viewing notes. It was terrible with handwritten notes. With the recent mobilenoter updates ( in the past few weeks) it looks much more promising. Again editing options of individual notes are very limited.

(If you ask me one app that i want in my tablet, it would be a fully working version of onenote)

Unfortunately except for evernote none of them provide a desktop syc for the handwritten notes.. If there was an app that would do this ,

There are plenty of apps out there, like phat note and so on....

please tell us more about what you use and your experience..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Alabama978:
Is it possible to take a whole page of notes using handwriting on the Note 10.1 and then convert to text?

May be a dumb question but I'm thinking if I take lots of notes at a meeting then I would like to be able to convert them to a document.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] redviper666:
I am exactly in the same boat. In a meeting last week I took 13 pages of notes using S-Note. I can export them to PDF but thats about it. Mobilenoter seems to be the best thing to bet on. But the reviews seem to be very negative. I don't have a problem maintaining a live account with only onenote 2010 notebooks, so if they fix their handwriting issues I'll be a customer!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
If you. want to send the notes as text from S-note, use the share via option as opposed to export,however you will not be able to send drawings.

If you want to write in your own handwriting, there is an app called 7notes on Google play that will let you take notes and convert them later into text. The app has really good handwriting recognition too if you want the notes converted on the fly.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] agzela:
Look for Supernote ..its made by Asus and is similar to freenote in that you can handwrite anywhere and moves it to the top. Link...... http://www.everbot.com/files/Asus_Supernote_v_1.4.apk
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
I also use 7notes. My HW is horrific and it does a great job of converting it. You can use it anywhere, in pretty much any app that uses a keyboard.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smooches680:
I have the new Samsung galaxy note 10.1 and it just came with the Snote and not the Smemo. Can you tell me or have a link to get the Smemo app?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
S memo has been replaced with S Note, you can bring up the mini app version by clicking the small arrow on your status bar at the bottom to make a quick note.

I will Quill and Papyrus from the market. They both provide vector based pdf output.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] ratindahat:
Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but i use foldersync lite, with my drop box, to backup and sync my notes. I currently use lecture notes and have the folder with my notes synced every 2 hours.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] ratindahat:
Probably not in the way you are thinking. They are png's so they should be editable, but it wouldn't be a clean solution.

I used an external app to schedule it. the external app is foldersync lite.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aalupatti:
I should be trying that

Galaxy Note @ mobile
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] hchxoom:
Dropsync is the tool I use for autosyncing. Also LectureNotes allows export and import via .pdf, so if you can edit .pdfs you're food. Finally, Lecturenotea can export direct to Evernote.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Magnesus:
I haven't seen it mentioned here but I like it more than Lecture Notes - Writepad Stylus works great with S Pen (and I prefer setting the pen in it to be the only input - you can do that in settings).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
I quit using WS when Quill came out. I use Quill for vector and LN for all else. The LN dev rocks big dog. Working on keyboard and jpg/png image for background. Really pleased.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jchammerpants:
+1 on Freenote. I've tried LectureNotes, Quill, AntiPaper, PhatPad, and some others. Freenote offers a lot more flexibility in including ink, typed text, pics, paint, links, tags, "To Do" lists, ink calendar tracking, etc. It is the closest app to OneNote I've found on Android. I think its biggest liabilities are that the GUI is not "sexy" -- it looks clunky-- and that the range of options and tools make it confusing to figure out. Steep learning curve. But if you want to switch instantly between ink/text/images/paint, etc., I don't think it has any competition.

Best Freenote feature: The writing panel for inking. It lets me handwrite in large exaggerated strokes at the bottom of the page, which it inserts as scaled smaller ink in a straight line elsewhere on the page, and which it is smart enough to auto-wrap to the next line at the page margin. 7Notes/Mazec offers a similar feature, but I find it to be a bit more clunky since I have to hit "enter" at the end of each line before it inserts.

I too consider this to be the 'holy grail' of app features, but it is sorely lacking. I found a work-around that lets me ink on my GNote in a Word doc via Polaris, and also ink the same doc on my tablet PC via Dropbox. But to be honest, the "inking" experience I show via Polaris is so limited (very few features beyond changing ink thickness) that I have largely stuck with Freenote.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aalupatti:
Trans device inking is a big thing and unfortunately none of the apps support it well..

However, mobilenoter which was a terrible app before, has changed a lot especially with the most recent update.

I brought this app a long time ago and had many issues.

After the most recent update I tried it again and works great..

This is what I do

1. i have folder in my sd card synced with the onenote folder in pc

2. the onenote folder in pc is synced with skydrive

3. i edit and make notes in my android using mobile noter.

4. Now all changes are synced with my pc when i get home

Limitations of mobilenoter now are

1. Mobilenoter syncing option to cloud is still not great... Hence the work around i mentioned above

2. editing options are very limited

Workaround now is to make new notes in freenote and export to mobile noter

The benefit of cloud sync is that I can open the onenotes in another pc ( on a web browser) at work and do changes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jchammerpants:
Thanks for the suggestions. I also dream of a robust OneNote app available on Android... Until then, can I clarify a few of your tips?

Do you do this via Dropbox/Dropsync or similar tool, or another method?

Do you export them as PDF, or is mobile noter listed as a menu option for "sharing," or another method?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aalupatti:
1. I use sync toy... I have setup my tablet with samba file share. So it shows up in my networks and i use synctoy. I used to use missingsync app but recently it began to work wired with syncing.

( using dropbox/dropsync is much more better but for me i have personal files which i dont want them to be in the cloud. )

2. Mobilenoter is listed as an option for sharing. When i select that it inserts as a picture.

Back to after-the-fact handwriting recognition

Can I re-ask a question that was asked earlier in the thread, in case there is a more up-to-date answer?

Is there a decent note-taking app that would let you take a set of notes, then at some point later in time go back and perform handwriting recognition across all of the notes you have taken (and then export the updated document in a useful form)?

Merry Christmas,

Take this piece of advice, use the built-in handwriting feature of the N8000's keyboard, then input the text by using Polaris on ThinkFree or some sort of word processor.

It's gonna give you the same result and get to a native *.doc document.

So is installed the FREE GS3 R6 and it gave me new animations for exiting apps, locking the phone etc. Unfortunently these were ported from jellybean to the S3 and there are some minor graphical bugs that annoy the crap out of me. One being you exit the text messages app and the app closes but the keyboard stays for about a second. Also when you do the tv lock animation everything goes fine until the last second the screen blinks for about a second. Im not complaining but is there anyway to switch to the old touchwiz animations. Is there some sort of zip I download extract and just drag animation files onto my android and just replace them.
