Alright, well when I get to a computer and have a chance to write it, I will make a great guide, look for it in general, any and all suggestions will be considered

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
I wonder if the gods...err..I mean mods of xda will let me post a spoof guide and allow it to stay up, or would they ban me, I better start thinking of some new names, how bout reverend gridlock, hey I like that, can we change our names

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Ok well since you guys won't help him I will.

The quickest way to root your G1: First you need a car battery and some jumper cables. Take your USB cable and splice into it, wire it to the positive jumper cable, now ground the other end onto a metal surface. Next thing is to press the power+camera+home+menu+back buttons as fast as you can, while doing so start humming the theme to MASH and have a friend tickle the battery cover of your G1. Do that for a good 17 minutes. Now unhook everything and rub one out, then wipe the ejaculate onto your screen and try making a smiley face. Last step, and most important......kill a cat while your power the phone on, not a kitten though and preferably a black cat as they work the best.

If you did it all right you will now have superhuman capabilities and your mother will cry when she sleeps at night.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
ooo thank you drjim :D very nice of you!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
Thank you for a simple, but very nice finger friendly app. I like the color and font size on my VGA (Fuze) screen. And I appreciate the way TypeNotes "asks" before overwriting or deleting a note. I posted this info at Fuze Mobility but figured it would not hurt to add it here also.

I was sort of hoping that the app could open existing txt files (if I loaded them in TypeNote's default directory) but TypeNote can’t see the files. I was able to open a TypeNote txt file using PocketNotepad so….

-Create a new file in TypeNote using the same name as your existing txt file. Add one or two characters to the body just in case and save.

-Cut or copy your existing txt file into the \Program Files\TypeNote\Notes folder and overwrite the file you just created in the above step.

-You can now view and edit your existing txt file.

FYI: I tried adding my existing file and file name to the NoteList.txt file (located inside the TypeNote directory) but that did not work. The above steps work fine.

I keep network settings and other trivia in txt files on my desktop and like to have copies with me. The PocketNotepad and TC interfaces are not that friendly for viewing or editing.

One interesting note. When finger scrolling through a note it is very difficult (I couldn’t do it) to accidently highlight text, unless the SIP is opened. Don’t know how this works (something to do with sensitivity) but it is a very nice feature and would love to see it implemented in other apps. With a stylus I could highlight text with the SIP closed or open.

Also, Sensor Scroll works (you have to setup in SS Settings) and TypeNote works fine loaded to the storage card.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jaaks:
just loaded this on an ATT Fuze running EnergyROM 'Genesis' 20090905 and everything seems to work. perfect little note app, simple and easy. thanks!

edit: weird... just entered current time in a note and it's 14 minutes slow. time on home screen is normal
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
Interesting. I just checked on my Fuze and the time was 20 minutes behind; Fuze Home Screen 5:29 (17:29) and TypeNote 17:09. Not the end of the world, but a bit puzzling.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jaaks:
:09 minutes

It looks like regardless of what time it is, the minutes are always :09. The hour is correct (24hr). Like previously stated, no big deal.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
It should open the file if you add it to the notes-folder and notelist.txt. For example if the file is called Network.txt.. copy it to the Notes folder, and add Network (without .txt) to the Notelist.txt file.

Will see what i can do about the scrolling thing..

And TypeNote should work wherever you put it actually :) Its coded in a way that it "sees" where it is. So feel free to move it where you want, just remember to fix the shortcut.

-Ronny-
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Fixed it... will upload a updated file soon :)

-Ronny-
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
OK, I just tried copying a file into the folder and notelist.txt and this time it worked. I may have added .txt to the end of the filename (unlikely) the first time or maybe I just typed the filename wrong. Glad to see it works either way.

Should have clarified scrolling. Flick/finger scrolling works beautifully. I was referring to the scroll wheel on my Fuze. Adding TypeNote to SensorScroll (an app to facilitate scrolling) settings allows the scroll wheel to work. Regarding finger scrolling, after some additional testing I guess you can inadvertently select text if you keep your finger in one place for too long. But if you flick quickly or even move your finger slowly but not leave it in one place, text will not be selected which is a very good thing. I assume there is some time delay working there. Finger apps are great but too many of them allow your fingers to wreak havoc by selecting things unintentionally.

Whenever I test an app, I always check if it will run from the storage card. Some apps will load to main memory regardless of your selection and others will refuse to run if loaded to a storage card. Just a little added info.

Thanks,

JIM
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] manny calavera:
Good job, simple and finger friendly.. Some nice things that could be added are:

- Auto-import of a directory containing .txt files. This would help in sync'ing the notes with a computer through Mobile Device Center/Activesync.

- Search

- Categories/folders

- A desktop version of the same app.

I currently use Tombo ( http://tombo.sourceforge.jp/En/ ) which is NOT very finger friendly, but has all these niceties and also support encryption of individual notes. Since it is open source, it might be helpful perusing its source code.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] m.schmidler:
Hi,

that´s something I´ve been waiting for very long - thanks!

Some suggestions:

- The list of notes isn´t really fingerfriendly yet...maybe you can use graphics here as well ?

- Folders

- Sending the text of a note via SMS or Email

- Backup-functionality

- Online-service / desktop-app...both would mean quite a lot of work but especially a way to get the notes online would be really really awesome!

Anyway, keep it up :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] manny calavera:
Backup/sync to desktop is easy: Activesync will do it for you.

Tombo (for link see two posts above) will work as the desktop-app (it has both WinMob and Windows versions).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Thank you!

What do you mean when saying that the list isn't fingerfriendly? Size of text,scrolling ??

I've been working on some changes, and so far this is what i have done:

No longer uses .net 3.5.. now runs on .net 2

Categories, with management

Add new

Rename

Delete

All notes separated by category (for ex. \Notes\ToDo\Shopping.txt)

Reads all .txt files from Notes-folder instead of using a list-file.

Lists are sorted alphabetically.

Text in note can be temporarily resized to better fit the screen (makes it easier to type in landscape mode)

Still working on it though, so will put it here when its ready.

Suggestion

Just an idea, to add the possibility to send notes via email?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kiekeboe100:
It would be nice to be able to specify the storage directory for the notes (I would like to have them in Storage Card\My Documents\Notes or something like that).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
+1 for that suggestion. I moved all my files from \Storage Card\My Documents\Text into the TypeNote subfolder, but would rather keep them where they were so I can find them easily with other programs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
hi,

I've been thinking about this too, but not made it possible yet.

At the moment there is only one solutions for this:

Move the .exe and images-folder into your Storage Card\My Documents\ folder and run it from there.. All categories will then be made as folders inside your Storage Card\My Documents\Notes folder

Storage Card\My Documents\Notes\category1

Storage Card\My Documents\Notes\category2 ...

if your gonna do it this way you'll need to fix the shortcut, and take backup of your My Documents\notes folder (to make sure all works well). I tried it, and it works fine on my phone.

ps: you should also move the categotegories into your My Documents\Notes. TypeNote will read all other folders that you have in there as a category. If they have .txt files in them, they will be added to the list so you can open them inside TypeNote.

Maybe i'll make it possible to choose own folder in next release :)

-Ronny-
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
Wow! Guess I missed the memo :o on the updated version. Excellent. Categories are a good thing.

With categories I don't know how important it is to map to another folder, now that you are changing the structure of the folder anyway. I would just want to make certain that program updates could never overwrite the contents of the "\Storage Card\Program Files\Type Note\Notes" folder as some of these files may not have any kind of backup. With that level of confidence, I could get rid of my \Storage Card\Text (or Notes) folder and have everything in one place.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hendrixus:
Great. Thanks.Omnia Approved

Works on my Omnia i900 right out of the box ;)

Notes are being stored in the same directory as the program is installed in.

In my case I installed in my 8GB "MyStorage"(internal storage)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Actually it doesn't matter where the program is installed(or moved after install), because when it starts, it will check if the Notes folder exist in same folder as the .exe. If it exists it will read all info into the program.... if it doesn't exist it will create it before continuing.

So i have reinstalled the program many many times while testing it, and the Notes folder was never touched on uninstall or reinstall. So an existing Notes folder should be safe, but please make a backup to be safe.

-Ronny-
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Hi,

Glad to see that it works on the Omnia :)

I can only try it on my Diamond and emulators, so its good to see it works.

- Ronny -
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
I understand, and I always have a backup on my desktop, just in case. When I updated to 0.9.2 I noticed that none of the notes were touched, which is a good thing. I don't really care where my txt files are saved/stored on my device as long as they are all in one location. As noted earlier, with the addition of categories it makes sense to keep everything together. So \TypeNote\Notes it will be :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
I would like to make TypeNote my default app for TXT files. Right now if I try to "Open with" TypeNote (open a file somewhere on my device), the app opens to the Categories page and I can't see the file I selected.

Maybe in a future version, you can include an additional exe that would go straight to an open note, so that the selected file would appear. Then I could view/edit the file and save it to the TypeNote folder.

Also needed would be a way to move the file into a Category, maybe with a tap and hold or something like that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:

After installing and starting program you can go into "Settings" and choose where you want to save notes.
