[MENTION=5600735]kennyTSV[/MENTION]: I am a bit puzzled by you reply. Your device has an S-pen, hasn't it? If you enable `use stylus (hardware detection)´ (as you should do for devices with S-pen), you are not able to enable `use heuristic palm rejection´.

Concerning the second question, I assume again that you use the S-pen: The problem that you observe occurs due to S-pen usage (this is why you observe it with LectureNotes) if Samsung's AirView is enabled; disable AirView in your device's settings and the problem will no longer occur.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] kennyTSV:
Thanks again acacoid. I know what you mean now. Thanks a lot for that! I had assumed that stylus detection was enabled by default. I now understand that the S-pen stylus contains electronics inside it, which overcomes practical issues associated with a stylus that doesn't have the electronics (hardware) inside.

Thanks for your kind help regarding the AirView feature. I have now followed and turned off AirView. The screen-blank issue was really inconveniencing. Really appreciated your kind help acacoid! Thanks a lot! Much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5600735]kennyTSV[/MENTION]: The world of Android is very diverse; to my knowledge, there is no reliable way to detect whether a device has an active stylus or not (besides coding a table with device ids into the app).

ffmpeg encoding--audio and video out of sync

I am not really an expert here, but I have problems encoding the audio and video produced on my note 10.1 with lecturevideos (encoding is done externally on a linux desktop). Sometimes, adio and video go ever so slightly out of sync as the video plays (using ffmpeg built-in aac). Playing back within lecturenotes has no such problem, and keeps everything nicely in sync.

There is an enormous list of such problems, with a large number of incompatible solutions, so are there any good suggestions which ffmpeg options to tweak for this set-up?

Niels
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5717871]nirwa[/MENTION]: What do you refer to as `slightly out of sync´? A constant phase or a phase that increases with time?

If it is constant phase: ffmpeg allows to adjust a constant phase.

If it is an increasing phase: Have you set the frame rate via argument `-r´? This is recommend as ffmpeg might not determine the frame rate correctly from the video stream, which would lead to an increasing phase.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] nirwa:
ffmpeg encoding--audio and video out of sync: NOT!

OK, so I am going mad here. Looks like the video framerate is actually 25 (I was convinced I had seen 24 previously). I will get my head round this!

Niels
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5717871]nirwa[/MENTION]: LectureNotes/LectureVideos records videos with either 12 or 24 frames per second, depending on your settings. For handwritten notes, 12 frames per second is more than sufficient, using this smaller frame rate reduces load on the device during recording and halves the file size.

Higher quality recording fix?

Hey there, did you manage to solve this problem? I had exactly the same issue after flashing a new rom (cyanogen), my lecture note recorded in higher quality fine in my previous rom(hd revolution). Would appreciate if you found a fix and can share.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
I never really fixed it. I just record in the normal quality and it still sounds fine. Though to be fair I've never heard how the high quality recording sounds, but the normal recording sounds good already

thx for the new update

Hi Acadoid, thx for the new great update. Containers in the custom drawing tools is a great addition to get it organized even better. The only small issue I have so far is that I can't get the Pencil tool back to 75% after I've set it to 50%. Keep up the great (no, the greatest) work! :good::good::good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5076672]gertgertgert[/MENTION]: Glad to hear that you like the custom drawing tool container.

Many thanks for pointing this problem out to me. I already uploaded a new APK into the app stores (since the change is very minor, it carries the same version number v2.4.6).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tablet_JF:
love the updated toolbox, but a few suggestions. ..

I just noticed that you've expanded the toolbox (the one with the icon that looks like a drawing compass). Those additions will be immensely helpful! However, my menu of selected tools that I wanted, seems to be unnecessarily lengthy.

-The basic tools that were already there originally, should be thrown in to the main list, so we have the option to de-select any of them. I no longer have the need for some, will the expanded options.

-improve the new square, and completely phase out the original rectangle tool. I want to be able to make long rectangular shapes with the new square tool that is not bound to the grid, but it will not allow that. The new tool is overall superior, because I like the ability to put the shapes at an angle.

- same as above, but for the circle shapeas well.

- smaller numbers on the coordinate planes. Unless someone plans to use at least half there screen, the numbers are entirely too large. Possibly, make the size of the numbers flexible, depending on how large you make the x &y planes - For the shapes, there should be a master toggle switch for filled/unfilled. That, or long-pressing each item, to change it, but with an option to have a spot for both in the selection menu, for those who want to quickly go back and forth between them. In this case, cganging the order, so that the filled shape will be listed consecutive to the same unfilled would also be logical

- The ability to long-press items for quick changing. I find all 3 of the lines to be useful, but to shorten the selection, maybe make it so that if you long-press the current line tool, a slider-switch will expand from it in the menu, so you can switch from solid line to dotted, dashed, ect. Something similar would be great for the custom pencils. You could add options to the main menu, as to what features you want to appear on the slider-switch to quickly modify, such as line width, opacity, and short range of user-selected alternative colors that the user often uses intandem with that custom pencil.

-ability to pair a custom pencil with a particular guide tool. I always use the straight-lines tool, when using custom pencils I have set up as highlighters. It would be great to be able to have that automatically enabled with the HORIZONTAL LINES straight line tool ( not the original though. I only highlight text laid out in the usual horizontal fashion)

. As always, you are the best of the best, when it comes to givin' a crap. I think it's highly possible that device manufacturers may one day recruit you to help create there stock apps. Maybe then, the stock/default appwouldn't suck so much, and we wouldn't need to hunt down the perfect app for the job!.

---------- Post added at 04:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

I am not really sure what the text-layer is, how to use it, or potential usefulness I might have for it. I know absolutely nothing about it, nor do I know how I can activate it, to start testing what I can do with it, hand-on. Could you tell me what I need to do to get started on trying it out?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4959893]Tablet_JF[/MENTION]: The next update will provide line, open rectangle and filled rectangle without grid as custom drawing tool examples as well. There are already circle and oval custom drawing tool examples, both open and filled. Afterwards, the only remaining standard drawing tool is the text drawing tool, which is very special, it cannot be coded in JavaScript. I need to think a bit more how to allow to include it into the custom drawing tools.

The size of the characters used in the coordinate system is determined by the line width of the pencil that you use in that moment.

Long-click on the pencil toolbox issues a `move toolbox´.

To allow to combine drawing tools and pencils is on my agenda.

The text layer can be accessed using the `keyboard´ icon.

I noticed that when using custom paper pattern (i.e. notebook background) and the custom drawing tool together, sometimes the drawing tool (selected from the pencil tool box) is not drawing the selected drawing commands, but instead draws the background paper pattern in black color.

I think it is a bug. Anybody experience the same problem? A screenshot can be found here.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hlxr43h7b0yjpj8/Screenshot_NormalAppImage.png

I am using Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, not rooted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4949781]tririver[/MENTION]: That is certainly not intended, and I never observed that on any of my test devices.

Which device and Android version are you using? Is the device rooted? If so, are you using the stock ROM or a custom ROM?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tririver:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] : Thanks for your reply! I edited my post to include a screenshot. It's Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, not rooted, stock ROM, Android 4.4.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4949781]tririver[/MENTION]: I do not have a Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2 at hand, so that I cannot test it on this device.

But I do neither observe this problem on my Nexus 7 nor on my Nexus 10, which both run Android 4.4.

I trust that you are using the latest app version v2.4.6, aren't you?

When the custom paper pattern appears, does it appear additionally to the custom drawing tool or instead of the custom drawing tool?

Once the custom paper appeared, does it further on always appear, or does the correct custom drawing tool occasionally appear as well?

Custom paper pattern and custom drawing tool use (and have to use) the same JavaScript machinery, but it is either custom paper pattern or custom drawing tool.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tririver:
Thanks [MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]!

> I trust that you are using the latest app version v2.4.6, aren't you?

Yes, I am on v2.4.6

> When the custom paper pattern appears, does it appear additionally to the custom drawing tool or instead of the custom drawing tool?

The paper pattern appears instead of the custom drawing tool.

> Once the custom paper appeared, does it further on always appear, or does the correct custom drawing tool occasionally appear as well?

Both of them appear, approximately the same probability. Note that the first time after the drawing tool is selected, the drawing is always by the correct drawing tool, as far as I tested. But from the second time on, the paper pattern has a probability to appear. After the wrong paper pattern appears, the next time the correct drawing tool may appear.

On my initial post of this issue, I edited after your first reply and posted a figure. On that figure you can find box shaped black custom paper pattern patches. They are the ones that occasionally appear when I used the custom drawing tool.

Also, I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2012 edition. On that pad there is no such problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] slamorte:
Thanks for making adjustments to the pencil toolbox. I really like to have the pencil toolbox always showing for quick changes, but wish it didn't take up space on the page in the top of the corner.

Is there any chance you might consider making an option for the toolbox to be always visible, but spread out horizontally across the entire width of the screen in one single row? This would minimize the amount of space it takes up.

Thank you for being so receptive and responsive to user feedback - it is very appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4949781]tririver[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your feedback. Quite weird, there is no difference between the first and further usage of a custom drawing tool, the custom drawing tool gets setup every time you use it.

Have you anything enabled in the device developer settings?

[MENTION=757579]slamorte[/MENTION]: The next version v2.4.7 will allow for a vertical instead of a horizontal toolbox.

To have a complete spread out toolbox is an interesting idea, I noted it down.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tririver:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]: Thanks for your reply! I didn't change anything in the developer settings (I don't even know where is the developer settings on this tablet. The system setting panel is reworked).

Actually I am not annoyed by this bug. I don't often use custom drawing tool continuously. Just let you know there is a problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] xd-galaxy:
I've also experienced the custom paper pattern bug, but for me it happened with the eraser: I'd use the eraser lasso function, and within the lasso, the latest used custom paper pattern would emerge.

This bug appeared with the first 2.4.6 update but disappeared with the following update (you released two updates within a very short period of time, without changing the version number).

Just thought you should know, if it would help you solve tririver's problem.

Anyway, would it be possible to implement a simple calculator? One you could show and hide via the toolbar and it would float like the pencil toolbox. Just an idea.

Thanks for the latest drawing tools by the way. They made math a whole lot easier!

Is there a way to keep LectureNotes synced between two tablets? I tried using dropsync, but setting it up on both tablets to do 2 way sync caused me to loose a number of notebooks. I don't want a repeat of that disaster, but i am looking to add the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 as a new second tablet. I need to be able to keep LN synced between the new one and my 10.1.

If not dropsync is there a better syncing program?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5454172]xd-galaxy[/MENTION]: You get a custom drawing tool drawn when you use the eraser? That's even weirder. Which device and Android version do you use? Is the device rooted? If so, are you using the stock ROM or a custom ROM?

[MENTION=4949781]tririver[/MENTION] & xd-galaxy: Have you rebooted the device since the last LectureNotes update? If not, could you please try whether this helps? Such kind of weird problems tend to go away with a reboot.

[MENTION=5454172]xd-galaxy[/MENTION]: There are several floating calculator apps, isn't such app sufficient?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tririver:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] : Yes, I have rebooted but that doesn't help. I'd like to mention that this bug is not a problem for me. Because (1) I don't use custom drawing tools in a continuous way (the same tool many times in a row) very often. (2) I have switched to a background picture, and the bug disappears in this case. I would like to try further if you feel like to identify the bug, or other users are affected and annoyed by the bug. Otherwise you may not need to spend your time on this wired thing :)

Just to mention, I actually had a fresh install of v2.4.6 because I have only had this device for 2 days.

problem

Thanks for the reply. I'm having a problem that I have every couple of weeks. A quick message appears every couple of minutes saying, "Out of memory. Trouble ahead..." and soon after, if I try to move blocks of the page with the cutter tool, they disappear, and can't be recovered by using the back keys, which is really frustrating. It is happening again now, even though I just spent a few hours clearing alot of space off my tablet and SD card.

I remember you telling me a while back, to fix this my changing a setting or something. I think the cause of the problem might be that my clipboard is bloated (the tablet's stock one, as well as the one for LectureNotes). Because I do do a lot of screen clipping and rearranging. I would like to know how to clear out the clipboard for both LectureNotes, as well as the tablet itself. I found several folders in my storage that look like they might be it, however, I am worried about causing errors in my notes or tablet or anything like that, if I delete the wrong ones. My tablet is rooted, so I akso have access to the hidden files. Thank you again for the support, you rock!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] xd-galaxy:
Well, no. Never mind, forget what I said. I'm just complicating things.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
Hi, would you consider allowing us to set a custom AUTO-SAVE time interval? The reason I'm asking is when I am recording a lecture using LectureRecordings, it seems to freeze up my writing for about 5 seconds when it autosaves which can interrupt my lecture note taking. It was so disruptive that I actually have disabled autosaving, but I'm worrying about accidentally force closing the app or anything of the like and losing all data.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: You can adjust the interval, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
I know I could. As my lecture is over an hour long, it is freezing every 10 minutes. I even used the small-cache setting and still am getting freezeups. It seems to happen most when it is recording a lecture. I was wondering if we could set one manually (like 60 minutes or 45 minutes for myself would work out better)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: Please note that even if `auto saving´ is disabled, LectureNotes automatically saves a notebook page if you scroll away from it. Enabling `auto saving´ means that, determined by the adjusted interval, the modified page cache entries (which usually means the active page) is flushed to SD card. This is also the reason why LectureNotes is not accepting input for a slight moment, it is saving the page you are writing on.

Note that there is an item `save changes´ in the menu at the app's launcher icon with which you can perform the functionality of `auto saving´ manually. Hence, you could disable `auto saving´ and manually select this item whenever you can spare a few seconds.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tririver:
I notice that there is a problem when resizing a selection: If a selection area is small enough, such that the {cancel, done, rotate, resize} buttons touch each other, the area cannot be further resized to the smaller direction. For example, a screenshot is attached:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nf78ny6ynvk1p3i/2014-02-26 12.46.00.png

Here I cannot make the selection smaller by dragging the resize button.

I know if I select a larger regime (empty elsewhere), then I can resize. However, sometimes when there are other text around, selecting a larger regime is not always convenient.

Would this be fixed? Thanks a lot as always!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] p_razzi:
I've seen this too. Can you zoom in to make the selectable area larger?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tririver:
Thanks! This is a nice and clever workaround. On the other hand, it would be great if it works without zooming in and out, which are some unnecessary work...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
What do the velocity and direction dependency settings do to the pencils? I have an active stylus on the note 10.1 and am nor sure what those 2 settings are doing to the pencils I enable it on.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] claytonjn:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]

Maybe this has been suggested before and I forgot, but I just thought of this idea while taking notes in class. Would it be possible to implement a sort of dynamic (context-based) hover indicator that changes based on the active tool? For example, if you are using the pencil tool the hover indicator would be colored the same color as your pencil and the diameter would be the same as the tool. If you're using the eraser, again the diameter would be the same as the diameter of the eraser, and maybe would be a black outline or perhaps the same translucent grey of the eraser. Then there would also be specific hover indicators for the lasso tool, drawing tool, etc.

I think this would improve my workflow quite a bit as I wouldn't need to look up at the action bar or toolbox as often, especially when I use the side button of my stylus to toggle tools.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
Excellent idea, I believe it can be done. S-Note on the latest Note 3 have different cursor friending on the tool.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION]: If you enable velocity or pressure dependency, then the width and opacity of the line depends on the velocity with which you move the pencil or the pressure that you apply (the latter requires an active stylus such as the S-pen); concerning velocity dependency, you can choose whether moving faster increases or decreases thickness and opacity. How much line with and opacity is affected can be adjusted in the app's handling settings.

[MENTION=4325794]JamMasterClay[/MENTION] & Kumabjorn: Interesting idea, I noted it down.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gerberman:
hi acadoid,

i'm having a problem with the audio recording feature.

the problem happens while i'm recording and i try to insert an image using the note 10.1 screen capture feature (circling using the s-pen).

every time i do that the recording stops and i have to start a new one...

is there anything i'm doing wrong?

thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2534331]gerberman[/MENTION]: I guess that you directed the material to LectureNotes, didn't you? In this case, LectureNotes gets restarted, and as a side-effect of that, a running recording is stopped.

What you can do is not select any target app, then list of apps disappears after a slight moment (two seconds on my Note 10.1), and select `paste from non-standard clipboard´ in the `cutter´ menu, your selection should be the first item in this list.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gerberman:
Yup, that did the trick! Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
Hey Acadoid,

Can you possibly change the recording playback functionality? If I'm playing a recording and I accidentally tap another recording (Not even the play button on it, just accidentally tap it so it displays the play button) it will stop my playback and thus lose my place on my recording I was just on. Can this be changed so that this will only occur if I actually press on the play button on another file?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: At the moment, only one recording can be open, so that opening a recording closes the recording that is open, and closing a recording makes the recording stop replaying.

Your suggestion requires either that more than one recording can be open simultaneously or that closing a recording does not make it stop replaying.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
Is it still considered opening a file if it is not playing? If I tap on another file title it will stop my playback and that's it. It doesn't start playing the new file as I haven't pressed play yet. I was just suggesting it not stop any playback unless a file is actually started
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: Tapping on a recording so it opens and displays the controls means internally that the recording is opened and its replay is paused, so that clicking on the `play´ icon directly starts replay.

How about temporarily hiding the recordings? This would avoid accidental tapping and also increase the size of the displayed notebook content?
