I'm with you 100%. I use ezpdf but it isn't great. There is something wrong with every note taking app that makes it annoying.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] sam2c:
I'm all for a good note taking app and I'd pay good money for it. Papyrus is my go to app, but it has its flaws....main gripes being no easy way to navigate large PDF files and no stylus button support on Samsung ROMs
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] motfis:
Currently I use also papyrus. But yes, I miss many other features, specially easy page navigation.

I am really interested with your idea!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Vasishtha:
I've been using the note 10.1 series for the past 1,5 years to study with and my conclusion while I was using the 2013 model has been that the only apps that were noteworthy were S-note and papyrus and lecturenotes.

On the 2014 model I eventually got bored of S-note and decided to look around:

-Papyrus's graphics were better then S-note on the 2013 model however with the 2014 model the graphics do not scale appropriately and well...it now looks pretty ugly.

-LectureNotes has the res. scaling, but not the beauty associated with the writing experience- although I've heard it provides nice functionality.

-Tried around 2 to 6 apps for writing, all with

sucky

writing experiences and expected functionality.

-INKredible: I recently stumbled across it (an iOS app port) in the playstore, it has the best writing experience that I've ever come across on android.

It has amazing graphics (vector based I assume) so you actually enjoy writing on a piece of glass. The app is free ,but provides in app purchases. You get the fountain pen for free.

The app itself is pretty barren when it comes to functionality (there are some bugs and you don't even get individual notebooks), but as the dev has stated they will include most of the missing functionality with their upcoming updates (they are focusing and the core necessities first). This app made me enjoy taking notes that much that I prep'd all of my exams on it in the past month (I manually managed my notebooks).

For me the common denominator for having a great note taking experience when I was still using my iPad was the writing experience, it didnt matter for me if an app was missing x,y,z functionality as long as I was stimulated to write more in the app for the sake of writing (cos of the awesome xp). INKredible seems to be very promising in that regard and with the promise of more functionality it'll put the current selection of available writing apps to shame. So support the dev's for more sweet development!

Regarding workflow:

I know its not on everyone's prioritylist/mind, but rooting will unlock the full potential of any device and this is no exception on the note 2014. Though you probably already know that.

The apps that i love, dont necessarily support splitscreen, so I tell them to.

The addition of GMD gestures, xposed modules (app settings, s-pen only, multiwindow plus, wanam) provide an overall enhancement of my workflow.

Coupled with Xluco's kernel Touchwiz feels more functional and it gives you the general impression that your device can keep up with your multitasking demands.

I've just finished finished with my exams so I thought I'd share my bottled-up experiences with this device, hence my long story;)

I hope some of my input helped you.

Also does anyone have little bubbles appearing underneath the glass (near the edges of the screen)?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
I tried out Inkredible, looks promising, not sure how long it will take to become stable/usable.

I guess everyone has very different requirements for a notetaking application. For me management of notebooks is important. Atm I already have 200 notebooks only from 2 semesters. If an app doesn't provide an ability to create folders I have a big problem. Also usually I need multiple documents to be open at the same time. When I practice for exams I need my formularies, the exam and my notes. So I have the exam on my laptop, the formularies on the 10.1 and write on the 12.2. Dunno if anyone has used linux and is used to the concept of workspaces. That is something that I would like to see. I open up my "electronics exams" and have all my pdfs and notes in one place. Changing workspaces should change the opened documents on all my devices. I have 3 tablets and a laptop, I would like to be able to use them in conjunction with the least hassle. Most people will have a tablet and at least a phone and laptop. So some kind of advanced multi device support would be pretty cool. Im babbling a bit, I have tons of ideas, that would be really cool.

What is also important to me is that that the file format that the notetaking app uses should be a format that I can open on my pc and modify with other programs. If I would to write an app I would probably use svg as a format for drawings. There are many tools to edit svgs and they can be viewed in a browser.

I need an app that is not just a notetaking app, I need an app that helps me work with lots of documents. I need to read, edit, take notes and understand the topics. I have noticed especially the past semester that writing on tablets has actually held me back. I didn't really want to read through the notes I took. A real book is still a lot easier and quicker to navigate than notes I have taken on my tab.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Vasishtha:
3 screens at a time for prep'ing? In my eyes that seams like overkill, for my last semester I just combined Wolfram ,Mathlab, Dolphin, 2xeBook readers(one for the problems and one for my theory/solutions) and INKredible/s-Note on my note 2014 via 3 way splitscreen and it worked like a charm. The bottom half for notes, the upper 2 halfs for for the rest, when I need to (fully)use one of the upper half apps I can just minimize one to make room for the other or swap apps within a 1/3 screen. Heck I even split youtube for the occasional online crashcourse.

This setup has proven very productive and I'd only use my laptop to convert word documents containing formulas too an android friendly pdf format.

If the multi-windowplus xPosed module had been updated to fully work on Kitkat I would've been able to have an additional layer of functionally through popup/floating windows.

I guess my only negative for working this way was that I had the occasional stiff neck once in a while, I'd then just relocate too my bed to resume my number crunching.

11 hours, that was my last screen-on-time running this setup, that's just...well..damn impressive:victory:.

I can imagine that you need all that functionality within one note app, but to be honest I think that's asking for to much for the Android platform. We'd need a pretty big dev team to be able to cram all that goodness in one smooth and hiccup free package...which I don't see happening anytime soon (iPad's note apps are draining to many of the dev's attention I guess).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
[MENTION=5599203]Vasishtha[/MENTION] I'm not someone that uses multiwindow, the screen is already so damn small. I don't have a single textbook or sheet of paper, so I need at least two screens, otherwise I go crazy because of the limited space.

As you seemed to have used notetaking apps on the iPad, how do they compare to the Android ones? How do they even deal with the lack of a stylus? I couldn't imagine writing with a clunky stylus that covers up what I write and is unprecise. I have tried capacitive styluses a few years back and the writing experience was poor.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dbeth:
Seriously, why can't Notability be on Android as well. That was my go to on iOS.

Sent from my Note 3 via the Interwebs.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lanwarrior:
Don't you guys like Evernote?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Vasishtha:
The screen resolution right now is high enough to make 4 way splitscreen a viable option for productivity purposes. Also the screen size for me is the perfect size, not to big for taking notes and not to small for reading. I also rely on no paper, even my graph-calc has been replaced.

Well the top 2-4 iOS apps are functionality wise on par with android apps (take for example : s-note vs notesplus/notability), but of course are more optimized.

1 app ,I believe, has a desktop variant for viewing/editing your notes.

However in the note taking experience department those top iOS apps blows away any android competition by large margins (not comparing styli here). And this has stayed the same since I switched over to android (bout 2 years ago) ,so imagine the margins now.

Writing with a cap stylus was surprisingly easy via an app's provided zoombox ,though it doesn't compare to the s-pen (later I was using the jot pro, but it wasn't perfect either).

This is why I know the iOS app port of notes plus (named INKredible on android) will achieve its full potential. And when it does, it'll put all the other apps to shame.

[MENTION=3847352]dbeth[/MENTION] Notes plus is already on android in the form of INKredible, the devs are hard at work in finalizing it and adding features to it. Stay tuned and support the devs in the meantime.

-Edit: My mistake, I thought you meant notes plus. Notability was also my favorite note taking app, but notes plus had it going on aswell ;)

[MENTION=285951]lanwarrior[/MENTION] Evernote's writing experience reminds me of s-note's ,stale and boring :p . There's no 'feel' to it.

But it does provide some nice functionality.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
[MENTION=5599203]Vasishtha[/MENTION]

I'm trying to understand what sets an ipad notetaking apps apart from the android equivalents. To me the ipad ones just look like 'another' note taking app. Obviously there has to be a difference. What do you mean with 'feel'? Feel of the app in overall, responsiveness of the UI, responsiveness of the writing or just the feel of the scribblings as such, how they look after applying all the filters. What would an android app have to do differently to 'feel' good?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Vasishtha:
Well basically the result of beautiful vector graphics (with maybe some pressure sensitivity) in combination with an accurate natural flow of digital ink, in which you're under the impression of the experience and are almost not able to distinct the interaction between the pen and the ink drawn as a result of your precise hand movements from the real deal. The reduction of friction between the pentip and the glass surface also brings about an unique experience ,which the note 2014 offers, over writing on normal paper.

To me that feel is the foundation on which any note apps should be build on. And this is exactly what all android apps are missing (except inkredible).

Functions come and go, but you cannot replace/supplement the beauty of writing by cramming in more functionality.

We have not noted any recent upsets of Inkcredible.

Via my Note 3
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] fastguy:
I'm using Stylus Write for my business notes. very fast and quick to start taking notes. It also has linux client to open its files. Not as fancy as others but doew the job.

There is also Note Anywhere. Try it as well. All use vector graphics.

I tried Lecture Notes but seems slow to open and start a new note, and to save documents. T also uses bitmap graphics if I remember right.

Btw I don't use Snote as it will mean locking into Samsung Firmware.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lanwarrior:
I agree that Evernote is a little bit "bland" on the handwriting feature, but I like the ability to sync it throughout all my devices - Note 3, Note 10.1 and Macs.

I also use Evernote heavily for many stuff: clipping website, taking picture, checklist, etc. So I have one solution for everything.

One thing I do WISH Evernote have is the ability to put handwriting in the text area. Right now the handwriting is in its own area separate than the text, even in the same note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
While writing an exam today I noticed how boxed in I feel when writing on a tablet. There is just a sense of freedom when writing on paper. I have a whole table of space to work with, I can make stacks of paper sheets, I have a stack with questions I have answered and a stack for questions I still have to look at. I make use of the whole table. When using a tablet I have to dedicate some brainpower just for using the tablet. I have to think if I want to annotate a document or just read it. Depending on that Ill use a different app. Because I have multiple devices they dont all have the same documents on them. So I take notes on the one tablet and then they havent synced to the other device yet. Taking notes in class doesnt feel natural. Im not going to go back to paper, because having digital notes has more advantages. It should be fixable with better apps, currently Im thinking about it. But lets be honest 10.1/12.2 inches is not really much screen space to work with. One would need some pretty awesome app to make one feel like one has more space...

SmartDebloater

Part Of SmartDroid Project

What this is...

Its A debloater that can delete 700+ MB in seconds. Not to mention its compatible with KK/LL/MM

What this is not...

This is not a ROM. Its a tool that can work on MOST G900F roms. Only roms not supported are the roms ported from other phones

How does it clean...

It uses Bash Binaries which clean apps better than updater script

Main advantages...

Its Fast, has odex support, Developer friendly and supports all android versions above kitkat

Developer friendly?

I chose to use Bash files as a mean to debloat so ROM chefs and Mod creators could use this in their work saving time. I would appreciate if you added me to your "Credits/Thanks list"

How to control Debloat?

This mod has Aroma that can allow users to choose which apps to debloat

Features

Based on Stock

Full KK Compatibility

Full LP Compatibility

Full MM Compatibility

I am surprised tho this isnt cross compatible across all s5 devices, as I would have thought the only differences between the phones is the kernel.
