[MENTION=466195]ddavtian[/MENTION]: That is very difficult to say, as there are a large number of unknowns and problems. For instance, I would need to pay license fee for the free trial version or not ship the library with it; I would need to pay license fee for existing LectureNotes installations (that will receive an update with the library) or start an entire new app (so that existing LectureNotes installations will not get updated); increasing the price will lower sales, but these licenses usually involved a minimal fee, so that there could easily be the situation in which sales drop due to increased price, I need to increase the price further to compensate for that, sales drop further, price needs to be increased further, and so on.

Lol android apps are so expensive to develop. I thought they meant to be mostly open source based=/. But it will be good if such app appears in app store. I think it will beat any that are currently available. Well.. Just make do for it now then:p
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ddavtian:
I was thinking you could have a premium version with higher price for people who needed it, keeping current versions as-is. But that, of course, would be more time consuming, managing different versions of the app.

Why not an in-app purchase? Many VOIP apps do this for users that want a certain codec that requires signifcant per-user license fees (g.729).

I would pay for this,
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] The_Maverick:
Wait, are you telling me that exporting from LectureNotes will give me an image PDF? I.e. it's no longer searchable? That would be a major dealbraker for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] acadoid:
[MENTION=4463015]earthtk[/MENTION], ddavtian, sb8636 & Han Solo 1: A new premium version could be an option, but this can easily upset users that just bought the normal version; in-app purchase is another option, but I participate in several school programs, in such environment any in-app purchase gets you immediately kicked out.

[MENTION=3966346]The_Maverick[/MENTION]: When you import a PDF into LectureNotes, it gets converted into LectureNotes' own format. You can export the result to PDF, but the structure of the imported PDF is lost. If you wish to annotate PDFs keeping the PDF structure intact, you need to use a PDF viewer app.

[MENTION=4463015]earthtk[/MENTION], ddavtian, sb8636, Han Solo 1 & The_Maverick: Please understand that LectureNotes is primarily intended as a notetaking app, not a PDF annotation app. You can import PDF, but this is to be understood in the context of its main function. I personally use LectureNotes for correcting page proofs and similar tasks in which the actual PDF file is not relevant and not processed any further. However, if the PDF file is relevant and is to be processed further, I resort to a PDF viewer app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] The_Maverick:
Thanks for the clarification [MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION].

I guess it'll be a while until I have my setup figured out. It's kind of a bummer that PDF handling appears to be such a pain. When I found out about LectureNotes that was a big push for me to get the Note 10.1 '14. And of course, I would also totally be interested in a plug-in type deal that improves PDF handling. (Would a seperate purchase on the play store - as opposed to an in app purchase - solve the problem with your school programs?) But I understand that we're asking a lot here.

So, in the interest of finding a better suited PDF viewer, does anybody know of one that would allow me to easily insert a blank new page within the document for when I need to take some more notes than what fits on the prof's lecture slide?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jkcarp94:
Wouldn't doing this as an in app optional purchase solve all of those concerns?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ddavtian:
acadoid replied to that question, few posts above yours:

"@earthtk, ddavtian, sb8636 & Han Solo 1: A new premium version could be an option, but this can easily upset users that just bought the normal version; in-app purchase is another option, but I participate in several school programs, in such environment any in-app purchase gets you immediately kicked out".
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] acadoid:
[MENTION=701491]jalanjkcarp[/MENTION]: There are two problems:

1. In-app purchase would get me immediately kicked out of school programs, these people are very serious concerning this issue.

2. In-app purchase does no solve the problem of minimal license fee. All commercial libraries I am aware of (PDF or other purpose) require to pay a minimal license fee per year independent of actual sales, usually on the scale of USD100,000 per year.

Another minor problem I just mention for the sake of completeness: In-app purchase is app store specific, so that I would need to maintain distinct app variants for Google Play, Amazon, and other app stores. This problem could be circumvented as I do with LectureVideos, namely selling the extension in form of an app. This would solve problem 1, but problem 2 remains.

I have seriously thought about this question numerous times, but I do not think that there is an feasible solution in the near future.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] earthtk:
It's OK. Blame android not the developer.. Hope there there is team that will develop a free library that will benefit everyone. That's the best bet I guess.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] acadoid:
[MENTION=4463015]earthtk[/MENTION]: Just to tell you that I uploaded v2.3.12 into the app stores in which there is a resolution auto-adjustment for multiple pages PDF import. PDF import should also be faster, in particular for notebooks with more than one layer.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ishark:
ezPDF is slower than some competitors like Acrobat reader and SmartQ reader, but it is the best app so far (among all apps on all platforms - yes, including Windows apps) which has great features for annotation:

- Smooth handwriting without flickering (except for only a few apps, you can see the flicker effect whenever you draw a single stroke)

- One can easily select each annotation in the annotation list or by touching it, and then easily move it or change properties (color, transparency, line width) of it

- Once a perperty has changed, it is preserved (i.e., every new annotation follows the setting) until you change it again

- All annotations are perfectly compatible with Acrobat (it's important when you see your annotated PDFs in other readers, devices or platforms; most of the Android and iOS apps, and even popular Windows apps like Bluebeam and PDF Annotator, are not fully compatible with Acrobat)

- 2-page view support (with page flipping by horizontal scrolling), which is good for reading in landscape mode

- More powerful apps (e.g., Bluebeam) are much heavier, slower, and more expensive

I think that those features make the app irreplaceable and also make some users like me bearable its slow UI.

Indeed, thanks to my new Galaxy Note, the speed is now quite acceptable to me.

Some tips:

- Disable page flipping by scrolling (then you can flip pages by touching left/right edge) or reduce the sensitivity of scroll to 5-10%

- Turn off page flipping animation

- Line width of pencil tool is initially set to 3.0 pt, which is very thick. Select the pencil tool, draw a stroke anywhere, save it. Then select it and change line width to 1.0. After that you can draw handwritings of 1.0 pt width

- S-Pen handwriting recognition is instant and very accurate. Instead of pencil tool, I prefer sticky note and text box, and use handwriting to input text. It is easier to read, maintain, and search for my annotations

Alright thanks! Still have the problem of exporting files though.. I sent a few reports see if you can see it. The description I typed was "crash"

In ezpdf you can add a blank page when you go to settings within the pdf file.

[MENTION=4463015]earthtk[/MENTION]: Sorry, I still do not see your reports in my developer console (I could not miss them, as there are no other reports). Is there the option to display what will be sent prior to sending? If so, could you copy that text and send it to me by email (or, if text copying is not possible, take a screen snapshot)?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] earthtk:
I have sent you some ss of the system log and event log. It always happens when I export pages of >90 pages.

I found the pencil input in ezpdf to be fast but the pen input (which allows for finer points) is way too slow.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] C2Q:
Hey guys, if you want a PDF reader JUST for reading right now, I've tried out a bunch, and the best hands down is PDF Max. It is 10 bucks but it is worth it because of how crazy fast it is. It renders fast and is super smooth, and this is coming from reading a 1000 page pdf, almost on the level of iOS pdf handling.

It has annotation features but for some reason their writing feature is stupidly laggy right now. It lags and takes a second for the drawing to render on the PDF. Weird how they actually have the PDF handling down but the annotating part messed up right now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] red321red321:
These tips were extremely helpful, Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
I really like APV Pdf Viewer for it's speed and the fact that you can zoom out very far and just scroll through the document with ease and no stutters. All the other pdf viewers are slow, I have to swipe twice and am constantly seeing loading screens.

The only thing apv needs is editing capabilities. The ideal pdf app would allow you to scroll through the document with ease and you only use the pen to draw. You wouldn't have to click on a button or anything. It would be just like picking up your pen when reading a paperbook and just writing on paper. You could change the mode between eraser/pen with the button on the stylus.

I would really like to be able to draw in pdfs, but as it stands it's just a pain and by the time I have annotated what I want I have already lost my train of thought.

If anyone knows of an app that does just that let me know. Otherwise we can maybe add editing capabilities ourselves. I looked at the source of apv, it sadly has very little comments and uses native code, which I'm not familiar with. Maybe some capable dev can step up, I'd be willing to drop some money if it's fast.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] red321red321:
I've found Pdf max to be very fast, with decent editing, although not as good as ezpdf
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] guthrien:
I wish the new Google Quickoffice had decent annotation, it's oddly the fastest PDF renderer I've used on Android. I usually dislike reading PDFs on my Android tablets which is one of the few minuses for me (compared to iOS which had far better tools in that category).

ezPDF

So after getting my Note, I gave all your suggestions a try. Like most people I feel like ezPDF is the overall winner. But I'm not entirely happy with it. I'm still hoping that I'm just missing something, so maybe somebody could enlighten me.

The two gripes I have with the app are:

1) You have to switch in and out of pen mode every time you want to go to the next page. I expected the strength of this tablet to be the fact that pen input and finger input can easily be distinguished, so writing and flipping pages could be done easily. Is there a way to do this without so many clicks?

2) Like people have alredy mentioned, the pencil is much smoother than the pen, for some reason. This would be fine, but I really want a free-hand highlighter, i.e. a thick, partially see-through pen. You can adjust the opacity of the pencil, but not it's thickness. For the pen, on the other hand, there is no option to make it see-through, but you could make it thicker. Is there really no way of achieving what I need?

Also, is there a way to save pen-presets?

Thanks for your help!

I am sorry but Adobe reader is not fast. Adobe reader in my first generation iPad is faster than Adobe reader in Note 10.1 2014 edition. I have tried to look but haven't found fast enough pdf reader for Note 10.1 2014 edition yet, unfortunately. That is one of the biggest flaws in the new Note for me. Luckily there are plenty of positive things about the tablet too.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] alias747:
Ironically, after the update that supposedly optimized it for the 2014 I find that it isn't any faster in rendering and the freehand writing got more laggy... So disappointing.... I use ezpdf exclusively and while it is great for the most part, they need to figure out the performance and update the dinosaur UI...

are you using it with dropbox? i found that the constant uploading when using it with dropbox was the cause of the frequent crashes for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
No Dropbox. I personally think it's a slow and bulky app, need a big ui change. If u use moon reader plus or mantano reader, it's night and day
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dcc22:
For me it's Mantano Reader pro. High price but the ONLY fluid Ebook reader for Android, EPUB + PDF + making Notes with a fluid page flip animation (3d flip only in pro).

I can swipe and let it scroll over 5 PDF pages without hickups just like on my Ipad2 with any app you can find ^^

Android = Hell of Lag. Java needs good code to perform fast. And judging the GUI of Android apps, most devs simply don't care about perfection.

In 99% of all cases, check the GUI, it reflects a devs attitude.

To get rid of TouchWizz, check Apex. It has a tablet mode in options.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
Agree, although has some bugs, mantano pro is my main one and is the smoothes. Moon plus reader is a good back up:)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jankko:
I just tried Mantano reader and it really is fast. Thank you for the tip! I do have to say that the price is a bit steep for a reader app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
It Is but worth it:)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jankko:
I now used Mantano some more and it completely locks up my tablet when trying to import about 400 pdf files from the sdcard (hard boot required). Also when reading certain pdf files the application takes ages to load new pages (ezpdf is faster with some magazines, while Mantano is a lot faster with most). So it seems that Mantano really is not the perfect solution either :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] swaggerjacker:
It is worth it. It works in multiwindow! I'm not rooted. Saweet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
I use mantano for epub and and I use moon plus or pdf max for pdf, mantano is a bit slow to load pdf yes but still fine once loaded

How to build Omnirom for Nexus 7 (grouper)

1. Open up a terminal and install all the required packages:

If you use 64bit:

If you use 32bit:

2. After those packages have been installed you are going to create the directories for the sources and repo tool.

3. Now your going to download the repo tool and chmod it so that it's executable:

4. Add the /bin/repo tool to your bashrc file:

A editor should show up, now add this line at the end of the file and then save it:

5. Now it's time to initialize the repo:

6. Sync the sourcecode (will take a while):

7. Add the prebuilts for Nexus 7:

8. Building the rom:

9. After it's finished you will find the .zip file with the rom in the “out” folder.
[Nexus 7 General] stuguru:
Nice tutorial - may I suggest that at the end of step 4 you add "source ~/.bashrc" so ~/bin is added to the PATH for that session.
[Nexus 7 General] seanwayne:
Agreed, and may I suggest that adding -f flag when Invoking $ "repo sync -f -j32" for possible sync errors/network/broken objects.

Hi guys :) I'm building OmniROM 6.0.1 for LG L90 (w7).<br />

I got into an error: http://hastebin.com/dujufeyelu.pas<br />

Now the point is: I've Omnified all my device tree, tried everything but nothing...still got this error.<br />

I'm building on Ubuntu 14.04. I chatted into the IRC of Omni but no one replied me..And I thought here someone would give me an hand..<br />

This is my local_manifest in case you wanna see device/vendor/kernel trees: http://hastebin.com/siyivamudu.xml<br />
