Another vote for Catch notes (or AK Notepad same dev, but different UI - only text notes vs image/voice/text notes in Catch) which supports syncing to catch.com.

Mobilism notes, because:

- i can use checkboxes (with reminders)

- I can use indents or subnotes

- put notes on the homescreen as widgets (even edit checkboxes from the homescreen)

- automatically sync with google docs (so i can edit the notes on my computer in google docs).

Does anyone know of an app that has a widget that lets you put the notepad on the home screen and then lets you flip through pages by using up/down buttons. I know Simple Notes does this, but have been better if it supported alarms/alerts as the colornote does.

I don't like those lil sticky stuff and dislike it more when those lil notes don't display the whole message.

+1 SpringPad, and sometimes GTask
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
SpringPad is freaking awesome, although I don't use it for longish notes.. I'm sure it works fine.

What I use it for is keeping myself in check, notes to myself, tasks, checklists, results from some tests before they're put into other formats, etc... A loose Get It Done setup (not as strict as a few how to guides I've seen for GTD in SpringPad).

It's an awesome program.. It looks exactly the same on my Nexus One, my Nook Color tablet, my desktop..

Preferably one that works with Dropbox.

[Android Apps and Games] chickelnoodensoup:
I like using Text Edit. I use it to create notes, but it's also really nice to use as an editor for other file types.

I was using the default (Samsung?) 'Memo' app, but I hated how you couldn't specify where you wanted it to store your notes.

[Android Apps and Games] imekul:
I was thinking, as a battery-saving measure, if it would be possible to have an app that would turn the mobile data on and off every, say, 30 or 60 seconds.

This way, you effectively still have "instant" notifications (minus a 30- or 60-second delay), but you are saving battery because half of the time mobile data is actually turned off.

Is anybody aware of whether or not this is possible, or whether there is any app that does this? I know there are apps that let you schedule different tasks (such as turn off Wi-Fi at 12:00), but I guess I'm looking for an app that would let me specify something to the effect of "Do X every X seconds."

Any thoughts?? I wonder if it would save a significant amount of battery.
[Android Apps and Games] creezalird:
there is Tasker for that and I'm currently using it. But of course u need to set up the profile yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] imekul:
That's good to know. With Tasker, can you set something on a timer such as "Do this every X seconds?"

Also, do you happen to know if this idea would even help? It seems like it might, but I'm wondering if it would actually make a noticeable improvement.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
I think it would use more data than it would save. Turning on and off data constantly would probably drain the battery than it would from leaving it stable.
[Android Apps and Games] gthing:
Check out juice defender. Every 30-60 seconds won't help you much, but once per hour for three minutes or so will.

Also, see apn droid.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
I'm using Tasker to turn off data when screen is off and then enable it every 15 min for 1 min
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Exactly what I was thinking, since it has to scan for access points and establish a connection each time.

That said, Tasker's time context can do "between A and B, every X minutes".
[Android Apps and Games] zeppelinrox:
CPU Tuner... it has become one amazing piece of software...

If you're rooted and overclocked, it will let you fine tune just about everything in a non confusing way.

In profiles you tweak mobile data (with "

pulse

", you specify how many minutes on and how many off), gps (if installed as system app), wifi, sync, bluetooth, toggle 2g/3g... and of course cpu speeds and governors...

Actually, pulse can be applied to all the above "togglable" items except the 2g/3g for obvious reasons.

In triggers, based on battery level, you can choose what profile to use depending on whether the phone is plugged in, the screen is off, or on a phone call (beta feature)

No, it's not my app. It's free and I'm helping with testing out new features :D

The pulse feature was just added to yesterday's update.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Mobile data turned on and doing nothing uses nearly zero battery. Reconnecting it constantly like this would make syncing of everything probably happen every time it reconnected. Possibly your accounts would re-sync, email would have to reconnect and sync, your weather apps etc might sync now that the phone has connected again, etc.

Sorry, sounds like a really absurd idea.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floods658:
Is there anyway to add custom tones/music to the smart alarm app? Or at least a way to replace the originals? Not a fan of some of the limited tunes there.

I have bionix ROM and I am rooted. I searched all over, but couldn't find an answer anywhre.

Thanks!

EDIT: Just to clarify, I know how to add custom sounds for the regular alarm, but not the smart alarm option. (for ex. I want to add a seashore sound that I found elsewhere as an option in smart alarm settings)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColorNapkin:
...

Well I'm running Trigger when I click on the smart alarm sound entry it brings up a menu in which I can select from my files what I prefer. I doubt this is unique to trigger, though. Are you sure you're clicking the correct entry?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Senorkabob:
Not sure but if not check out Gentle Alarm in the market. Its the same thing but allows you to customize the sounds.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floods658:
It may be unique to your ROM. When I click on smart alarm, I only get an option to select among the 6 default tones.

@Senorkabob

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I am trying to avoid using another alarm app if possible.

If there is a way to add that option on bionix, and anyone is aware of it, then that would be great!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nolonolon:
I've not been following the latest news on Epic, but if Sprint has released 2.2 I think you need to manually update your phone. Though from what I've read in the previous days was that Sprint did send out an update to some Epic users but the update was buggy. Therefore not everyone had their phone updated. Though assuming you're new to this forum ? And perhaps your Epic ? If your phone has 2.1 then there's no way you're going to be able to use your headset as 2.1 isn't capable of dialing out only accepting calls and manually making calls. I'm using midNIGHT custom rom and by using midNIGHT my headset does dial out. So join in on the forums and read up. I know there was a recent post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967014 That should be of great assistance to making your phone a lot better. Though most importantly I'm new here too and perhaps someone can give you better advice. But I do know that your phone out of the box won't allow you to voice dial using a headset until you're updated to Froyo and that I recommend midNIGHT rom but there are many roms to choose from as well as a lot of reading and learning which can be fun.

im on GSB 1.9v has anyone found a way to flash a different keyboard the gb on it is slow ?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I've had no problems with "htc_ime_lowres22_experimental.zip" on every Eris ROM I've tried since 2.1; Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread. I haven't tested it on GSB v1.9, but I am using it on GSB v1.6, and can't recall a single (Eris) ROM that it did not work on.

BTW, I think the "22" in the name is because it was first built for Froyo - I think it is a derivative of jonasl's V26 keyboard.

You can find a flashable version at this XDA post.

If you would prefer to not "flash" that zip, you can instead just unpack the zip file and just manually side-load the two .apk files inside the zip. ( Clicker.apk and HTC_IME_lo22.apk; I think you are supposed to install Clicker.apk first ). Note that you need to enable it after installation in Settings -> Language and keyboard

I don't think it is dangerous at all; but if you want to be safe make a Nandroid backup first.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfetamine:
Check out gimpsta.com

You can design a custom HTC keyboard. I've made a dozen of them. Works really well with gsb1.9

Same kb as already recommended by bftb0, but make your own! (Select color theme). You will still need to add clicker.apk for calibration to work.

Select low res and the default v27 , 1.6+

Best email program out there if you use Exchange. Nothing even comes close. This email program was the nail in my iPad's coffin.
[Xoom General] Nasty64:
Its pretty good. Way better than the native email app for exchange.
[Xoom General] robrowald:
I use it everyday. Works great.
[Xoom General] rtc1036:
I have both RoadSync and Touchdown, and Touchdown is the best, hands down. It looks good and offers better end user configuration such as the ability to delete or not delete a message from the server when deleted on the device AND the option of not marking.the message as read on the server. I have it installed on my Xoom and Incredible. RoadSync is just a little rough around the edges, but it did work on my Xoom as well.
[Xoom General] gnikoli:
I uninstalled it. Too many crashes while composing and does not support drafts folder. Support said they are working hard to improve stability on Xoom and they were the ones to tell me it doesn't support the drafts folder - when you save message as draft, nothing shows up in drafts folder, although you can get to it with the drafts button displayed when you are composing a new message.
[Xoom General] aaronx12:
it actully works really well!
[Xoom General] leoncarpenter01:
While I prefer the looks of the default exchange client it doesn't come close to the functionality of TouchDown. I highly recommend it!
[Xoom General] ssn04:
Tried it...then uninstalled

I have three Exchange accounts, each of which requires a separate Touchdown profile because Touchdown does not support multiple Exchange accounts within a single profile. Accounts in the off-line profiles are not updated. Further, switching between profiles often causes the application to crash.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Customer support is great!

My biggest disappointment was that I cannot see the folder structure of my exchange account. I contacted support and they were very responsive. If anyone is interested here's what I wrote and the reply:

ME:

Dear support,

I downloaded the trial version of TouchDown upon recommendation in a forum. So far I am not really that impressed with the offered features. I was wondering if that is just a matter of updates until this will change:

1. On the main screen it reads "Emails: x (n unread) and

Appointment(s): y. Why can't I get to the emails/calendar when I tap on the summary info?

2. I haven't found a way to browse my exchange folders. I am sure that's a mistake on my behalf but it shouldn't be that hard to figure out!

3. Is there a way to (de)select all emails and delete/move them instead of clicking one after the other?

I understand that this is a new product for tablets but if I were to spend $20 on it I would like to see more features.

Thanks for listening!

SUPPORT:

Are you working on a Xoom? Are you saying that you see the email list but when you select and email it doesn't open? Or that you can't get to the Inbox?

You can choose what folders on Exchange to sync by going to settings>advanced>choose folders. Select what email folders you want to sync there. We are not a browser. We sync mail and you read it, forward etc...

There is a menu>more>select all function in the Inbox. You can then choose to delete or move.

Bottom line is that many features seem to be there but might be hidden and not intuitive. Don't think I'll pay $20 since I am fairly happy with the stock client.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
The one thing I hate about touchdown is that he hasn't updated the UI since the days of Windows Mobile. It's just plain bad sometimes.
[Xoom General] alee:
Agreed. The UI is painfully out-of-date. I banished it from my Xoom until they freshen up the design and usability.
[Xoom General] despich:
I used Touchdown for a long time and it has by far has the most options. Tons O options. It was first to give you emails displayed as HTML instead of just text. The UI does need some refinement especially if using on a tablet (yes I know they have a tablet version now) and it is a hare buggy sometimes.

Since the Xoom I went back to just the stock email app. As it's faster/simpler than Touchdown and prettier. I don't like the fact that you can't tell the stock one to sync more than 30 days worth of emails though. (I have a couple saved folders, that I want it to sync all the saved emails in them). Plus the Stock calendar on the Xoom is much prettier than touchdowns calendar.
[Xoom General] gfacekilla:
It Works

I'm using Touchdown and it works very well. It syncs my email, schedule and contacts. This is one of the apps that convinced me to keep the device.
[Xoom General] Stone 13:
Another touchdown user here, I'll agree with everyone else in that it's far more functional than the stock exchange client. I can deal with the UI because I go a free license from Moto.
[Xoom General] B Dizzle:
Functional but in serious need of a facelift. Maybe one of our themers from XDA could take on the task.
[Xoom General] neonerz:
I've been using Touchdown since I moved to Android. It has its quirks, but I could never use the stock client since it doesn't support push to folders under the inbox. You have to manually sync those folders.

Coming from BlackBerry, it was the closest I could find to their email functionality (I still miss the email experience from my old 8830). They update pretty often. Buy the license from the market, but download the beta off the website. Just Google "Touchdown beta"

Z ROM ports are rotating with the screen (on the Home screen, too), while DHD ports not (however with a little work they can rotate, too).
