Just curious, what makes you think they aren't? Mine are.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Cocax:
Hey acadoid :) I was wondering if you could add something similar to the Record Sketching function of SNote... I find it useful when I'm trying to memorize my notes, instead kf looking to static pages, to see them as if I was writing them again
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Jonphinguyen7: Many thanks for your kind comments. What do you refer to by `to have a recording set to a specific page´?

@Cocax: LectureNotes does not keep track of your actual writing when recording audio, just of the location where you wrote. To replay your writing in the sense of a video is only feasible when storing each stroke individually, such as vector-based apps do. I am not excluding the possibility that LectureNotes supports vector-based notebooks in the future, but not anytime soon, I am sorry.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Cocax:
But isn't SNote bitmap based also? I don't think it's vector based... And that function doesn't record audio, just the sketching, like it's screen capturing it...

But thanks anyway. LectureNotes is great as it is :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
I am not sure whether this was suggested in this or in another thread, but the latest version v1.18.1 that I just uploaded to Google Play allows to scroll the icons in the action bar in case the icons take more space than available.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Fantastic. Many thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
Yipee!. That was my suggestion and it works flawlessly now. Thank you!

Out of curiosity though, I thought that this could not be implemented easily because of android limitations or you having to write a lot of additional code, was it the latter?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
I really wish you would put a donate link attached to your xda profile. I really appreciate all your hard work and I'm sure others do, too. It would be an additional way to say thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@HasC: One has to implement the handling of the icons, but this was at the end easier than I originally expected.

@toenail_flicker: Many thanks for your kind comments. You can purchase and enjoy one of my Live Wallpapers, if you wish.

I am not sure whether this was suggested in this thread or another, a long-click on a non-active tool (e.g. long-clicking on eraser when pencil is active) now directly opens the menu.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
@acadoid

As I agree with toenail_flicker and taking in your suggestion I just bought something else from you :). Instead of a Live Wallpapers (I'd never use it) I've bought LectureRecordings. I didn't plan to buy it and won't probably use and/or need it but it's, nonetheless, a complement to LectureNotes and (mainly) a way to say thanks to its amazing developer.

Could you give us a rough overview of your next development plans for LectureNotes (maybe together with a very approximate and indicative timeline)?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jonphinguyen7:
@acadoid any plans on different style pencils? (Like chalk, graphite, pen and such)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mirkokkk:
I try to suggest a feature: it will be amazing if the toolbox appears under the pen when we click the pen's bottom and it disappears when we choose a colour!

Send from my GT-N8000 [LectureNotes, the best notes taking app!]
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@sphere314: Many thanks for purchasing the app, I appreciate that. The biggest project on my agenda is to improve concerning typed text, there are numerous mid-size projects such as to allow to set an image as page background (additionally to custom paper pattern JavaScript code), to allow custom drawing tools coded in JavaScript, to allow to process an image before insertion (including cropping, finer rotation, etc.) and even more smaller issues such as to allow choosing colors by RGB or HSV value, to allow to name layers, etc. To give time lines is difficult, as I need to play around with possible implementations for many features until a find a suitable one.

@Jonphinguyen7: What should be the characteristics of such pencils?

@Mirkokkk: Interesting idea, with `the pen's bottom´ you refer to the icon in the upper bar, right?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Excellent on both counts. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mirkokkk:
No I'm sorry, I refer to the s-pen bottom! The toolbox should appear under the s-pen tip!

Send from my GT-N8000 [LectureNotes, the best notes taking app!]
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jonphinguyen7:
An example would be pencil, instead of being smooth it writes like graphite. Or for chalk it will write grainy. The only example I can think of are the different pens in SNote.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Magnesus:
If you are ever bored with doing LectureNotes you could look at brushlib - http://wiki.mypaint.info/Development/Documentation/Brushlib - a brush library from MyPaint. A paiting app made with those brushed would be definitely a hit. There is no such application for Android right now. I could donate for making one (don't have time to do it myself).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] grimloktt:
How do you play back recordings from within notebook?

Regarding pen use, it'd be nice if as you zoom in the pen stays the same size. it appears it gets bigger.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Mirkokkk: Now I understand, this is an interesting idea, I noted it down.

@Jonphinguyen7 & Magnesus: OK, let me think a moment about that.

@grimloktt: You need to open the notebook in `notebook replay´, there recordings will be on the left and the notebook on the right (the divider can be moved left and right). When you zoom, also the pencil width is scaled accordingly.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jonphinguyen7:
DELETED
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jonphinguyen7:
The writing might appear smoother if the pens worked like the one shown. With two sharp points by default. I noticed on LN that the pens are either squared off or rounded off by default.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] grimloktt:
It seems counter to intent. I like to zoom to write having more space but if pen is thicker it counters it. Maybe you could consider implementing option not to have it scaled? Maybe you could see how one note does it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
I also think that would be great. I use a thick pencil, but once zoomed it becomes challenging to write effectively.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] grimloktt:
Also was wondering if there's a way to select multiple pages of PDF import versus all or one?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@grimloktt & toenail_flicker: One could not scale pencil width with zoom, but with the applied bitmap-approach, there is a lower limit to the minimal line width.

@grimloktt: There is no batch import of PDF. The problem is not so much the actual import (this could be done easily) but rather to select multiple files using a file manager.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] grimloktt:
1) Not sure what scale answer means...you can change the lower limit for us?

2) I'm not looking to import multiple pdfs at a time, just perhaps a couple pages from within one of the pdfs. Right now, it appears the import options are the entire pdf or one of the pages within the pdf. I was wondering if there's an option to import multiple pages within a single pdf but not all pages?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@grimloktt: What I meant is that there is a lower limit which is a single pixel, you cannot draw lines which are smaller than a pixel width.

I misunderstood your question. At the moment, you can either import a single page or all pages. In principle, a subset could be imported as well, but I am not sure how to design the UI in this case.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Yahiko:
Hi, im experiencing this app. It feels very good. I want to know if it is possible to write with keyboard, and at the same time write with s-pen. It will be amazing. Or if that is not possible can we fastly write somewhere else save as image and then import to our notebook. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Yahiko: LectureNotes has a text drawing tool for typed text, but this is intended for adding a keyword or a small phrase, not for longer text. To improve in this respect is on my agenda.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Yahiko:
Found it :D

But yes it would be very nice to have it improved.

But for now it will do the trick!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Yahiko:
Cannot download pdfview on google play store.

It says not compatible with your device.

I have note 10.1 with stock JB.

No root.

:(

Can anyone send me apk file or is it really incompatible!?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Yahiko: Are you trying to download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acadoid.pdfview from Google Play? This should run on all devices with Android 3.0 or later. If the problem persists, I recommend to contact the Google Play help desk.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
Hi acadoid, just checked your link even though I have it installed. Yahiko is right, it is showing as incompatible. I am on the jb ROM as well (stock).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] fards:
@acadoid The trial/free version of lecturenotes won't show up on the jb rom.

Checked it on the play website through browser, and its saying incompatible with all the devices I have
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] akxak:
Same, only LectureNotes paid version is shown in the store.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Alx0363:
Just a small question.....

I've bought paid version and is a good apk but...it is possible to create my own list of pen mixing standard and custom? (normally use std but sometimes need some custom and need to navigate i 2 menus instead have my custom in first one).

Thanks

Alex
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Yahiko, HasC, fards & akxak: I do not know what the problem is, some of my apps are presently not displayed. I noticed something similar some weeks ago after an update (I did not upload an update this time), but after a couple of hours, everything was OK again.

@Alx0363: You can display the pencil toolbox (select `Show pencil toolbox´ in the pencil menu, can be setup in the app's tools settings), a single click sets a pencil and a double-click on a custom pencils brings up the custom pencil settings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Yahiko:
can anyone send me pdfview apk?

Its free so i think there is no problem to acadoid ;)

:highfive:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Alx0363:
Yes i've seen the option.

My request is if is possible now or in future version to modify the pull-down menu mixing std and customized pens for a quick choice.

Thanks

Alex
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Alx0363: Sorry, I misunderstood your original question. Technically, all items are in the menu all the time, they are just partially disabled to keep the menu on a reasonable length. What one could easily do is to switch off the disabling (and disable the toggles that switch at the moment between the different variants), then all pencils are available all the time, with the price of scrolling.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Yahiko:
I had been trying to install pdfview but the incompatible issue continues.

I cant find a way to report that to google,

I think only developer can report the problem.

I´m sorry for being such a pain in the ass, but i was eager to experience lecture notes in tomorrow classes and i really need to import pdf :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] akxak:
The problem persists, only LN paid and your wallpapers are shown in the market, PDF viewer and LN trial disappeared.

Perhaps you put them in here as .apk, as they are free in the market anyway.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jonphinguyen7:
Just buy the full version bro. No regrets will be had.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] akxak:
I do have the paid version... as well as Lecture Notes Recording.

But there are other users wanting to try and wanting to use the PDF tool and only the developer can and should take care to get his stuff back into the market.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Yahiko & akxak: Sorry to hear that the problem remains. I did not do anything with my apps since a couple of days, so that the problem is definitely caused by Google Play. It seems that no all Google Play users are effected, maybe this depends on the user location. I recommend that you contact the Google Play help desk and report the problem, http://support.google.com/googleplay/, it would not be too helpful if I do that as I do not know your Google Play account, location, device details, etc.

UPDATE: I filed a problem report with the Google Play developer help desk.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Rejdukien:
Feature Request

Hello acadoid,

I've got a small feature request concerning the folder structure of pdf exports (when you're defining your own folder for pdf files).

Right now it's creating a folder for each notebook. That's pretty much required if the saving location is left to default, but a tad annoying if you're using your own location. It'd be nice if that's a optional option, to only create folders for actual folders.

Edit: Pretty much just a modification of the existing full-structure option.

So, a possible export structure might look like this:

[-] School
[-] Biology
> Lecture1.pdf
> Lecture2.pdf

Thanks in advance, this is the first app that actually made me go get a credit card. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Rejdukien: You are correct, the notebook directory is redundant in this case, in your example School/Biology/Lecture1/Lecture1.pdf could just be School/Biology/Lecture1.pdf. I noted your suggestion on my to-do-list.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Duckylover13:
One thing I miss from using a notebook is being able to look at two pages that were far apart from each other if I needed to by flipping back and forth. Would it be possible to add a feature that displays two pages at once in landscape mode and being able to zoom in each individual page?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Alx0363:
What i want is to see all std and custom pen in the pull down menu directly...better if i can disable part of custom not used (14 is too much for me)..is it possible?...How i can do it? I search on settings and try many sets but not able to change menus view (my english is bad and not understand all).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Duckylover13: To allow a kind of `split screen´ is on my do-to-list, but this is technical not trivial.

@Alx0363: You cannot change the behavior of the pencil menu, I need to change the app code for that. This is why I ask how you wish the pencil menu to behave.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Alx0363:
Ok...thanks

For future update may be useful the possibility to set the pen pulldown menu with only visible the pen used for a fast choice (settable in the tool settings menu with a dot for the pen used...std or not)

Anyway a great and very useful apk

Alex
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Alx0363: To have a kind of `recent pencils´ menu is an interesting idea, I noted it down.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Yahiko:
One kind user sent me PDFview.apk but it always says "cant open pdf".

Is it a known problem or is it comes only with the way i intalled it?

+1 to recent pens ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Rejdukien:
Personally, I'd prefer a user-definable menu instead of a constantly rearranging recent-list. But hey, I've learned to love the toolbox anyway. :laugh:

Imho, recent lists work pretty well for things like documents, but not so much for tools. With time, a user should be able to tell you where exactly the tool he needs is, without even directly looking at it. If the list keeps rearranging, as a recent-list does, that's quite difficult.

Edit: A viable alternative would be the ability to pin pens in that list, so they won't be moved/removed anymore.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Yahiko & akxak: It seems that Google Play solved the problem, at least I can see now my apps again. My apologies again for any inconvenience.

@Yahiko: I recommend that you download PDFView from Google Play, I am not sure whether you will be informed about updates otherwise. PDFView can only open PDF files that are locally on your device.

@Rejdukien: A user-defined list would be another option, or pin pencils, that's right.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Alx0363:
Exactly what i want to tell in previous post...damn my bad english.

Alex
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
I am not sure whether these features were requested in this thread or another, but I just uploaded v1.18.2 which allows to place widgets of notebook pages on the launcher screen and to exclude the notebook/folder name when using custom ZIP/PDF directory.

Not relevant for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 users, but stylus detection via software emulation functions now on Asus Nexus 7 and Samsung Nexus 10 with Adonit Jot-Pro and Wacom Bamboo stylus.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
The widget feature is a fantastic update! I've just tried it. Great job!! ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Wow. Thanks, man. And, I didn't get you anything. :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mirkokkk:
The last update is very good :)! The widget is very useful but can you add a bigger widget? If I enlarge it the resolution become bad. The feature that allows to show the toolbox with s-pen button is in your to do list? It's could be a solution for people want to switch fastly between different pen! :) Thank for your work.

Send from my GT-N8000 [LectureNotes, the best notes taking app!]
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdalacu:
Same problem here.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@sphere314, toenail_flicker, Mirkokkk & mdalacu: I am glad to hear that you like the widgets.

@Mirkokkk & mdalacu: I can increase the resolution of the bitmap used for the widget, but there is a trade-off: Higher resolution bitmaps look better on large scale, but worse on small scale, as Android is not applying a decent `smoothing´ when drawing them; lower resolution bitmaps look better on small scale (the app applies two-step smoothing when creating it) but worse on large scale. As far as I know, there is no way of getting information concerning the actual size for resizable widgets, so that the app cannot adjust bitmap size dynamically. One can drop the possibility of resizing the widget and use multiple fixed-scale widgets with adjusted bitmap size, but this seems inferior. The only decent solution seems to be to add an option to the settings, but this would then apply to all widgets.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdalacu:
You can add a higher resolution for a 4x4 widget. Just a thought. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@mdalacu & Mirkokkk: I added a widget setup in the app's setting that allows to increase the widget resolution (a value of 0 corresponds to the present behavior).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] RTBee:
Multi-window?

Does LN allow for multi-window? If not, is this something that could be incorporated?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@RTBee: Multi window is supported on Samsung devices running Android 4.2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdalacu:
It works for devices with stock rom with Android version 4.1.1 and up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] RTBee:
Is this something that could be incorporated or better to just wait till JB update?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jeggen:
@acadoid

Any chance of including a feature allowing one to reorder the display order of notebooks on the main notebook board?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@mdalacu: I do not know that, thanks for correcting me.

@RTBee: LectureNotes uses the method described in the thread that you quoted.

@jeggen: LectureNotes allows ordering by name and by date, but in increasing and decreasing order. Which other ordering scheme would you like to use?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] cheznutts:
PDF orientation

Hi, Great App. Use it alot for school. I do have a question:

I use ezPDF reader for annotating PDFs and would like to use lecture notes instead. The issue I noticed though is importing PDFs which are in landscape orientation. When the pages are imported into LN, it appears flipped counter-clockwise and I dont see an option to flip the pages. Please advise, Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@cheznutts: I guess that you have `auto rotate´ enabled in the app's PDF import settings. In this case, LectureNotes rotates imported PDF pages if this makes them fit better on the page (meaning that they are larger).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] saenta:
Hey acadoid, thanks again for your great app,

I have two requests:

- page overview for larger scripts (I have one with over 300 pages), or the abillity to jump to a page.

- a text highlighter (or is it there and i just havn't found it?^^ )
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Rejdukien:
You could use the notebook overview feature, found at the top right menu. Moreover you can add keywords to certain pages, allowing you to quickly jump to that page through the Notebook index. But seeing as my largest notebook has only 8 pages, I can't help you much more.

Create a new custom pen, adjust the color/alpha to your liking and then check "Pencil does not draw in front but behind other colors"

I hope that helps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@makiiiii: You can open the notebook in `notebook overview´, this displays thumbnails for each page. Thumbnail size can be adjusted in the app's settings. Opening a notebook in `notebook overview´ the first time takes a moment, next time is much faster. With 300 pages be reluctant with thumbnail size, all the thumbnails need to fit into RAM.

To jump to a specific page, use the menu item in the hand menu.

There is no highlighter (there are too many opinions concerning color and width), but you can make one of the custom pencils to act as highlighter: Choose your preferred color and width, set a medium alpha, and enable `does not draw in front but behind other colors`.

UPDATE: After submitting my reply, I just noticed that Rejdukien already answered your question.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jeggen:
@acadoid

The sort by date seems to sort by date created. I'd like to sort by last used or a persistent custom sort where I could order the notebooks like icons and have the order persist.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mirkokkk:
Now the widget is perfect! ;)

Send from my GT-N8000 [LectureNotes, the best notes taking app!]
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
That would be nice.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Rejdukien:
@acadoid

Hey, I've got a new idea. How about a "Insert space" tool? I know about the "Divide page" option of the cutter tool, however, that always results in way too much space.

So basically, it'd behave in the following way:

Select the tool, press down with the pen at the starting point where you want to insert the space, and drag down to define how large that space should be. Anything already drawn below the starting point just gets shifted down, appending a new page only if necessary.
