[MENTION=5545956]TuuDoIt[/MENTION]: LectureNotes cannot directly handle PDF, it needs the free helper app PDFView to convert PDF into its own format. Restart LectureNotes after you installed PDFView, then the additional menu items will be visible.

Note that you will need a file manager app for file selection if you do not have one installed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] TuuDoIt:
Thanks acadoid. I didn’t realize I had to do that. Now it works very well!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] guthrien:
Thanks for your direct feedback, this is pretty much why I bought the Note. Purchased!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] C2Q:
I'm new to lecturenotes and from what I've read, everyone like it's annotating pdf capability.

I've tried importing a large PDF to lecturenotes and it doesn't like that it seems? It's around an 800 page PDF.

Can someone help?

Edit: Nvm I mistook this with S-note somehow. Lecturenotes seems to be working and its chugging away importing the file :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4377670]C2Q[/MENTION]: Note that a LectureNotes notebook of 800 pages will require quite some space on your SD card.

Hi Acadoid. Just wondered if you've got your 2014 yet and have been able to look into the lag issue when zooming and using multi window?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5518992]jack880[/MENTION]: No, still no 2014 edition of the Note 10.1 for me. :(

Nevertheless, I performed a couple of optimizations in the drawing machinery, which will be part of the next update v2.3.13. I am presently performing final testing and plan to release v2.3.13 in the next days. I will appreciate to receive your feedback whether response improves on the 2014 edition of the Note 10.1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] cspradlin:
Just got the full version of LectureNotes. Really liking it. I like how powerful the pen engine is, specifically. While I had to do a LOT of tweaking to build a pen I liked for my uses (writing japanese characters, both kana and kanji, while still writing english well), and ultimately just used multiple pens (set up on quick-switch with a pen button double-click), the ability of customize a single pen is enormous. Scrolling pages instead of changing pages is awesome. All in all, I like the app and think it's worth as much as I paid, maybe a bit more even.

CURRENT VERSION ONLY:

My couple gripes:

Palm rejection seems a bit iffy to me. I don't know if it's just me, the way I hold my hand while writing, but sometimes it pans or zooms when I am writing. I know I can turn off single-finger pan and two-finger zoom, but then it would be less convenient at all other times.

The occasional slight lag, mostly zooming. It's not even constant, it's kinda hit-or-miss. Doesn't really effect my use much of any, just a bit of an irk.

I look forward to the new update! And hopefully you can get a 2014 soon. Love mine!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5475124]cspradlin[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your kind comments.

Concerning unintended scrolling/zooming: Consider to disable `one finger scrolling´ and to enable `two fingers scrolling´ and set a minimal distance between fingers, this will avoid to scroll with your palm.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] CircleSquare:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] I've been loving lecturenotes ever since I've bought my note. Thanks for making it! Is there any update on implementing calibration for different pens? I noticed there was some buzz on the official thread a while back, but with the new note's compatibility issues with older digitizer pens we're really limited to the stock stylus. I've been using a surface pro pen with lecture notes and while it works, the offset does get uncomfortable at times.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] cspradlin:
Looking at settings, there is a setting at the bottom of "input" in settings called "shift input setup". Maybe that can help. It's set in display pixels. Looks like you can set it up for different offsets for different orientations.

Maybe that's it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] CircleSquare:
Wow I never noticed that option. Works pretty well...thanks!

Note 2 2014 issues

I just noticed, the lag only apears when im scrolling while having a whole page/the right side of an imported pdf visible. There is few to no lag when beeing zoomed in on the left side/center of a page. Could try to narrow it down some more if you think that would help.

Anyway, keep up the good work and thank you very much for this fine piece of code :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] jack880:
This is not what I've found. The lag is independent of where on the page I'm zoomed in to. Also I get the lag when zooming in on a page with no imported pdf.

Can't wait for the next update - if it fixes it LectureNotes will be perfect again!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5086750]DudeDelu[/MENTION] et al.: I just uploaded v2.3.13 into the app stores. The major new feature is the option to make the cutter operate on all layers instead of only the active one.

Besides that, the new version comes with a couple of optimizations which should be particularly beneficial on devices with a high resolution displays such as the 2014 edition of the Note 10.1 and the Nexus 10. Additionally, I realized that on such high resolution displays (with high resolution displays I mean displays for which the larger resolution is larger than 1500 pixels, e.g. 1920 x 1200 or 2560 x 1600 displays), one can (and actually should) enable `use fast page rendering´ in the app's display settings; do not mix this option with the option `use fast temporary rendering´ right above. If `use fast page rendering´ is enabled, a faster but less accurate scheme is used to render notebook pages on the display. The difference will hardly be noticeable on a high resolution display (except for extreme zoom levels), but response to writing, scrolling, and zooming will significantly improve. When you start LectureNotes on a high resolution device for the first time, it displays a hint giving this recommendation.

When you test the new version of LectureNotes on the 2014 edition of the Note 10.1, please take care that `enforce GPU/hardware rendering´ is not enabled in the device's developer settings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] DudeDelu:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]

Just checked the settings you recommended, beside fast rendering i had everything set up beforehand. Scrolling is smoother now but theres still a difference in the extend of stutter i get when scrolling left/right half. I´ll report back when the update rolled out, thanks for your fast response :>
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] razzbaronz:
So far I think the newer version is a lot faster.

I've found that "fast page rendering" made the quality noticeably worse, to be honest. I get jagged lines where they used to be straight (using fit width view). However, fast temporary rendering works well for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4393628]razzbaronz[/MENTION]: If you are using notebooks with a high resolution (for instance 2560 times 3623), then enabling `use fast page rendering´ should not make much difference (with the exception of large zoom levels).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
It turned out that the Android Bitmap class is not 100% thread-safe, which causes problems with v2.3.13 when `use page buffer´ is enabled. I was not aware of this, and I did not notice this during my tests of v2.3.13 in the last days, and in fact it is quite a surprise.

I uploaded v2.3.14 to Google Play that should fix this problem. As long as you are using v2.3.13, please disable `use page buffer´ in the app's storage settings, this will avoid the problem while you are using v2.3.13. Do not forget to enable this option again after you upgraded to v2.3.14.

On Amazon, v2.3.13 is not visible yet, and users will directly see v2.3.14.

My sincere apologies for the problem.

Notebook resolution

Hi Guys,

Sorry for my noob question but could You share proven notebook resolutions for our device? I am using LN in MultiWindow mode with ezPDF. I am noticing a lag in LN while in MultiWindow mode that is not present in SingleWindow mode. And when combining LN with other apps (gMail, ...) in MultiWindow mode the lag is not present.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=897087]Solyomszem[/MENTION]: The best resolution is if a notebook pixel corresponds to a display pixel. If you click on the `?´ aside `paper size´ when creating a new notebook, LectureNotes gives recommendations based on current device orientation for full screen usage; if you run LectureNotes in a window, the question is more difficult to answer.

Actually, I added the page buffer in v2.3.13 to avoid the problem of lag in multi-window mode, independent of whether you have chosen an `optimal´ notebook paper size for multi-window or not. However, v2.3.13 can cause problems (as I described in my previous post), so please wait until v2.3.14 is visible in Google Play and download that. Afterwards, the lag in multi-window should be gone.

Why ezPDF seems to have a larger influence than other apps is difficult to say, probably it is because ezPDF is also RAM-intense.

formatting text

Really liking LectureNotes but is there a way to format existing text? Say I typed a heading but forgot to switch 'bold' on

can I go back and change it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=817679]alexbush[/MENTION]: To select text for altering font family, style, size, or color, press shift on the keyboard and select using the cursor keys with pressed shift key (similar as you can do in word processors on non-Android computers). I am aware that some soft keyboards do neither have shift nor cursor keys, but there are full soft keyboards with all standard keys.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] alexbush:
I'm probably being really stupid. I can select the text fine but then how do I reformat? (Screen is showing 'text selection')
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=817679]alexbush[/MENTION]: I guess that you are using long-click for text selection, this brings up the cut, copy, and paste context menu.

home page wallpaper image goes away

so maybe its just me, but whenever I run lecturenotes and exit the wallpaer image on my home screen is set to black.

anyone else have this issue?

thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] dteg:
can't say i've ever had this issue sorry.

do you just hit the home button to get it to happen?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] zeldor:
I have to actually go into a notebook to get it to happen. Not sure if I have to write anything in the page.

but just starting the app and hitting the home button doesnt do it.

Exiting from the main notebooks screen not from inside a notebook, fwiw.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4494958]zeldor[/MENTION]: You are hiding the system bar on a rooted device, aren't you? Unfortunately, a reset of a static wallpaper is a side-effect of hiding the system bar on newer Android versions, and, to my knowledge, there is no solution; note that `Live Wallpapers´ are not affected.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] zeldor:
huh, well that is an odd android bug.

thanks for pointing it out, maybe I can find a nice live wallpaper.

lecturenotes rules :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] dteg:
lol he nailed it on the first try. damn he's helpful!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] jack880:
Thanks for the update. The lag is greatly improved, but zooming is still nowhere near as smooth as on the old note. I don't know if it helps, but it seems to lag much more when double tapping to zoom in and out than when using pinch zoom. If you activate zoom, then pinch zoom to say 300%, when you then double tap to turn zoom off (and therefore go back to 100%) it stutters when zooming out. On the old note it is very smooth.

Still, the lag is not enough to be a problem any more.

The "Work in all layers" for the cutting and pasting is really useful. It's a really good idea to be able to use it for inserting vertical space, but it looks like there's a bug as this doesn't work for me. If I select this option then try to insert vertical space it reverts back to the hand tool.

Thank you for listening to your customers and updating the app so regularly. It's an excellent app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] sperho:
Fantastic app! I've been using a capacitive stylus with an iPad for the past few years and the Note 10.1 2014 specs coupled with this app sold me on the switch... Now fully "robotic" in phone and tablet...

One request... I use two different styli, depending on how much writing I plan on doing. (one is a full size pen) The rub, however, is that the S-pen is dead-on accurate, but the other stylus needs some input shift adjustment. It would be awesome if there were an optional tool in the toolbar (in case not everyone has this use case) that allows one to quickly switch between different shift input setups. Just a thought. I've purchased this app and it only gets better... Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5518992]jack880[/MENTION]: I keep an eye on the performance. I presently fine-tuning notebook content view (after I had to provide quickly v2.3.14 to avoid the potential problem that v2.3.13 could cause), I plan to ship v2.3.15 in a few days.

[MENTION=4104173]sperho[/MENTION]: There is an item in the app's input settings, you can adjust different offsets for landscape and portrait orientation of the device, if you wish, as well as two complete sets to alternate.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] jack880:
Excellent. Don't get me wrong - the app is still amazing and the lag is not a problem, it's just strange how the new note is so much more powerful than the old one yet has more lag...

Thank you again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] sperho:
Thanks for the reply... I only write in landscape with both pens. The options that you mentioned are only (as I understand the descriptions) are related to landscape vs portrait orientations, right? I'm wanting to be able to choose a set of offsets, both for landscape, depending on which stylus that I use. Am I misunderstanding something?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4104173]sperho[/MENTION]: You can set offsets for two stylus in this setup (in fact, for both stylus independent for the two possible device orientations, if you wish) and toggle between them by a single click in this dialog.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] dteg:
soooooooo.... i just uninstalled and reinstalled lecturenotes. i then went to go back and reimport all my notebooks etc. but i accidentally restored a backup from 2 months ago... i've just lost all my notes haven't i. :'(

when i browse i can't even see the old files anymore.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] sperho:
I gotcha. Use the check box to toggle between top pair and bottom sets...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4970639]dteg[/MENTION]: When you uninstall an app, the Google Play app routinely removes all app files, this is not specific to LectureNotes.

If you have a more recent backup, you can wipe the notebooks board and restore it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Smac7:
What have people found to be the best notebook resolution for looking crisp in both landscape and portrait for lecture notes. I use portrait to write most of the time but sometimes I switch it up. At 1600 width it looks great in portrait but not so great in landscape. Anyone know the max resolution possible?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1573332]smac7[/MENTION]: The maximum resolution is 3650 on Android 4 devices (2800 on Android 3 devices due to Android 3 memory issues).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] alexbush:
Yes, that is what I am doing - should I be doing something different?. To be clearer, suppose I typed:

This is a title

And this is the text under it

How do I go back and make the first line bold? I can cut the text, turn on the bold function and then paste it back in but this seems a bit clumsy?

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] What is the difference between lecturerecordings and lecturevideos? Specifically, if I purchase videos, will it also be able to do standalone audio recordings of the class too so that I wouldn't need to buy both?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=817679]alexbush[/MENTION]: To select text for altering font family, style, size, or color, press shift on the keyboard and select using the cursor keys with pressed shift key (similar as you can do in word processors on non-Android computers). I am aware that some soft keyboards do neither have shift nor cursor keys, but there are full soft keyboards with all standard keys.

I just performed some changes in the code that will allow to long-click, select text, and then use the keyboard menu (or the style popup in case of the text drawing tool). This will be available with the next update.

[MENTION=3133381]ChrisNee1988[/MENTION]: LectureRecordings and LectureVideos aim at different task: LectureVideos is to produce videos such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul_H1F2kaRg (a random Google hit), whereas LectureRecordings is to record audio while taking notes. With LectureRecordings, you can reply audio in a synchronized fashion, somewhat similar to a video, in the sense that LectureNotes automatically displays the area of the notebook into which you have written in the given moment, and there is a search functionality to search for recordings during which you have written a given note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] jack880:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] - another suggestion for your excellent app - would it be possible to give an option to rename a pdf when exporting/sharing? Currently I have to email it to myself (on my work computer), save it, rename it, then reattach it to a new email...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
A workaround is that you could probably rename the file with any file browser on the tablet before sending it out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5518992]jack880[/MENTION]: There has already been the suggestion to allow to adjust layers, margins, etc. upon export, meaning that a dialog box comes up for every export; to allow to adjust the PDF file name could be added there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] jack880:
I could do, but that's no less work than doing it on the computer... Still need to save it somewhere, rename it, and re-attach it to an email...

Acadoid, there is a question about LectureNotes and LectureRecordings here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1rtlpt/question_about_lecturenotes_and_lecturerecordings/

"With LectureNotes and LectureRecordings, is there a way to get the audio at the exact point in time by tapping where I wrote? Does it skip to that point and start playing, or does it show a list of files without skipping to the exact point in time?"

If this is not available (I can't find a way to do this), would you be able to make it happen. This would be a very useful feature to me as well as many others, I'm sure. I never thought to have something like this until I saw the question.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] cspradlin:
Handy, but I wouldn't pay for it. Totally going to send a comment to the creator of the HD Tablet Widgets to add it as an option when creating switches.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4393628]razzbaronz[/MENTION]: I do not follow threads at reddit.com, many thanks for reposting the question here.

Open the notebook in `notebook replay´, then select `Search recordings´ in the main menu and click on the area in question. This will open the recording (or display a list of recordings, if there are several) during which you wrote in that area and forward it to that moment in time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] nonukez:
Loving LectureNotes! At first the pen input was a bit messy compared to S Note, but adjusting the "filter input setup" seemed to make it cleaner. Also, the sheer amount of customizations... Orgasmic.

Also, I've had two traumatic experiences where S Note crashed, wasting 2 hours worth of writing... LectureNotes seem far more stable.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] dteg:
AND lecturenotes has an autosave feature, so even if it were to crash (unlikely) you still keep your notes :good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] DmitryBozhko:
First touch delay

Lecture note is the best note taking app you can find. But one thing I don't like is a small delay when you start writing. I write first letter and see no reaction on the screen. After half a second text appears and then it goes smoothly. Is it only me experiencing this? It could be just wrong settings, but I can not find which.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5606550]DmitryBozhko[/MENTION]: There are a few things that LectureNotes allocates only when you write something, and this is done when you write the very first letter after opening a notebook. The duration should actually be negligible, even on a device with a high resolution display such as the 2014 Note 10.1; for instance I do not observe any delay on my Nexus 10.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Disler-xda:
I am new to the note 10.1 2014 edition. I have been evaluating S-Note and Lecture Note. I attend a lot of meetings and get agenda's emailed to me, sometimes just typed in an email, sometimes as a pdf, sometimes as a word doc. I am wanting to import the agenda into an app to takes notes from the mtg and hopefully be able to take the task I need to do from the mtg and keep up with them. I was playing with an agenda I got typed up in an email today. I copied it into Office Suite, exported as a pdf, then imported into Lecture Notes. I also tried copying onto the clipboard, then imported from the clipboard into Lecture Notes...it seem to work best by loading in Office Suite, exporting, and then importing...sort of a hassle but at least it worked. But I need to resize the pdf now that it is in LN. Would love to hear if there is a better way to go about this and is there a way to resize pdf's once in LN? Thanks...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4995163]Disler-xda[/MENTION]: I am not entirely sure what you refer to by `resize the PDF´, but you can move, scale, rotate, flip, and recolor material in LectureNotes using the `cutter´ tool: Select the material, cut it, perform the desired action, and paste it back.
