thats actually pretty funny dude.
trillian is avaliable but it doenst do facebook; i could be mistaken. i dont think there is an app that does all that you want...which to me seems like an opening to earn $.99 a million times...good luck
well sh-t! If I only had the brains to create such a WODGET!
What you ask is not easy - Facebook chat requires the app to be "Facebook" certified, kinda like an iPhone app only not as gay as Steve Jobs is.
Sms/MMS could be easy enough...joining contacts (IE Bob's SMS/MMS/Facebook) all to the same stream would be interesting at best....
The facebook API from what I have seen is also a nightmare, it just does way to friggin much - I assume their Chat stuff wouldn't be any easier.
EDIT:
Oh an a scrollable widget requires the user to be using ADW. And widgets are funky from what I have seen of making one.
All-in-all do able. Java isn't hard to learn, programing for Android is the hard part. Getting the idea behind "intents" and learning what some APIs can and can't do - then you have the drawables issues for Highres and Lowres devices.
Hi,
Am pretty new to Android and came across this really nice App/Widget called ColorNote. An all in one package that has a lot of features and comes in a reasonably sized package.
I'm sure many of you are already using this. The reason for the post however is not to promote this, but to ask if anyone either knows of a way to contact the author or know of an alternative to this.
What I need is an app with all the features of the above, but with a widget that is NOT a sticky post, but with something like a flip pad. That is the widget shows page 1 of the notes and then I either click an up/ down arrow to move between pages or click on the tip of a page to move between them as in the app here -> http://www.appbrain.com/app/simple-notes/hu.monsta.simplenotes
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Evernote is one of the best note taking apps. You can do voice notes, text notes and pictures. Web, desktop and phone apps. My only real complaint is that you can't write checkable lists on the phone app, but they are adding new stuff all the time. Oh and it doesn't have a widget, but you should still check it out.
springpad is also pretty good.. has awidget where you can scrol through different notes...
I use colornote for checklists. I like it. Its very clean and easy to use.
I have been trying to embrace the cloud using Springpad on my phone, CR-48 (meetings/note taking computer at work), my W7 work desktop and my Macbook Pro personal laptop. It's been working out well so far.
Colornote is nice for taking quick notes, like during a meeting or something.
For everything else, I also use Springpad. In the past I've gone through Catch (formerly 3banana) and Evernote both but I feel that Springpad is superior to all of them.
Just to add an extra choice, I've been liking Simplenote
Andronoter is a free Android client of it, www.simplenoteapp.com is the web interface.
Just looking for something that make use of the full screen on HC. I liked an app I saw on my landlord's iPad that looked like an old legal pad. Just select a previous note or start a new one and start typing away.
Evernote. google docs. Wunderlist
Handrite: https://market.android.com/details?id=my.handrite
I use it a lot.
Quick note https://market.android.com/details?id=com.diigo.quick_note&feature=search_result
I use it everyday and makes use of the HC interface.
Just tried handrite based on the suggestion and it is really great.
GTasks is pretty good. Syncs with Google Tasks.
I got Catch. It's designed for Honeycomb and in addition to text notes, it allows you to add voice and photo notes. I believe it's a paid application. Has a convenient simple widget too.

I'm using the free version. You can also add hash tags to make it easier to file/find your notes.
All,
Description:
A simple redesign of the custom style options available within Handcent to better match any of the blueish GingerVolt themes (ICK, RevoComb, Marble, BlueVolt, etc). It's far from a work of art, but I plan to make more advanced changes in later revisions--like the popup window, full editor, and the "bars" on the top and bottom. I'm not sure how many people here use Handcent (if you're using the stock Messaging app you should be *****slapped), so if these themes are something you want, let me know.
Changelog:
v1.0
->Initial Release
Screenshots:
See attached files or view them in an imgur album HERE.
Installation:
.::NOTE: Since all of these changes can be made within Handcent, developing a means of "flashing" would be excessive, so you will have to apply this within Handcent. This requires a free MyHandcent Account! Account creation can be done within Handcent or--if you prefer--on the Internets and takes ~23.5 seconds. If you already have an account and know how to install themes, skip to Step 7.::.
(OPTIONAL) Download the attached Handcent Font Pack2 and Handcent Font Pack5 APKs or install them from the Android Market. If you choose not to install the font packs, the theme will use default system fonts.
(OPTIONAL) If reading this on your computer, it may be faster to register here via your web browser, and then skip directly to Step 7. It's up to you.
Open Handcent.
Navigate to [ Menu Button -> Settings -> Handcent Services ]
Select [ Get a Handcent Online Account ].
A browser window will open in which you can create your account. No email verification is required (at least not immediately).
Return to [ Handcent Services ] and select [ My Handcent Login ]. Enter your username/password into the popup window. A "Handcent services update OK!" message should appear, indicating successful login.
Still within [ Handcent Services ], scroll down and select [ Handcent Themes ].
[ Menu Button > Search] and enter GingerVolt (my theme will be the only result). Select it, click [ Import -> Both (on second popup)].
Feel free to provide suggested changes/tell me it's ugly, but I'm studying Economics and Philosophy--not graphic design--so don't be too callous. Additionally, if anyone knows anything about Handcent theming, I'd love to hear from you.
Additional Information:
If you want a different background image (or launcher wallpaper), I highly recommend PicSpeed HD Wallpapers. There's over 50,000 available in several categories, allows you to save images to sdcard, and supports scrolling wallpapers. You can favorite items for easy access later, and it has a function to randomly select a wallpaper from your favorites every x minutes/hours. [ Link: Market ::: AppBrain
You can customize any aspect of this theme within [ Handcent > Settings > Custom Style ]. Even if you end up changing half of it, starting with this scheme should still save you some time in making Handcent match the theme.
This first version is not extensive. I intended this as a "trial run" of sorts to test the demand for this kind of thing. If it's something people I want, I may eventually create versions to match several of the popular themes.
At minimum, I'll update this in the near future to change some minor aspects, like the background pic. It's cool, but in retrospect I think it's a bit "busy" for a background.
Credit for that background goes to KaneOfMars, and was used with presumed consent (hope you don't mind, bro ).
Shout-out/thanks to the IRC Crew for always working so damn hard on some thing or another, thus making me feel the need to contribute something other than sardonic comments--although this pales in comparison to the work those guys do. Please note that this shout-out does not apply to beamer because he did not tell me that Titanium Backup could extract data from my nandroid data.img, forcing me to start ALL OVER.
Enjoy!

hehe, glad someone will be using it...or trying it, at least.
You'll love Handcent. Take the time to go through all of the settings and configure everything. 10x the configurability of stock Messaging app. Be sure to disable notifications in stock app, and HC still uses the maximum-messages-per-thread limit you set in the Messaging settings (if you set one). I recommend setting one--even if it's high--I use 800. If you make it unlimited you can end up with massive threads and batch deleting becomes a pain in the ass / time-out/FCing nightmare. Although this is less of a problem than it once was. The popup quick reply window is also pretty nifty...lets you answer texts without exiting your current app.
Also, download the Handcent Locate Plugin. It allows you to "attach" your location in the form of a link to google maps and/or an address. Amazing if you're not sure where you are and need to give someone directions without wasting time giving them directions.

I have handcent and have been using it for months. I recently purchased the online backup package, but for the like of my I cannot figure out how to save the themes I have designed to upload them to the backup servers. I go to settings ->handcent services -> My themes (i am already logged in to handcent via my phone). It opens up the Save theme online window, but there are no themes listed in this window and I cannot figure out how to get them there. Can you help?
This is pretty cool. I wemt through and installed it today. I love not having to exit my curent app!

Go on your computer and search for the gingervolt theme then add it to favorites. After go back on your phone and look at your favorites. Worked for me.

I am looking for a to-do list app with following features for my g-note:
1) at the front/back of the to-do list, show what time to do it.
2) checkmark if the task is completed.
3) if the task not done on the planned day, it will show up next day. maybe with different color.
4) large widget size.
5) date should be customizable.
Anyone aware of such an app?
Try "Any.do". quite similar to what you are looking for.
Try "due today". I think it does everything you're looking for and looks nice too.

Why use an android only app. With the note, use a better highend Web tool like toodledo.com or rtm. I use toodledo and it is great and I can use it on any device. Apps are great, but one of the best things about the note is having no frustration with using pro Web apps.

Toodledo is great. In addition I use DueToday on my android which can sync with it.
Toodledoo doesn't have a widget does it?

Toodledoo doesn't have widgets as it isnt an Android App. It's a web app and a backend, but there are several apps which sync with Toodledoo.
Right now, Play Store is announcing 2Do: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.guidedways.android2do
But there are lots more:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=toodledo&c=apps
I think Todo.ly has most if not all these features, and there is a neat little android app that syncs with the web service.
Above a certain number of tasks, or to get certain features, I think it's a subscription service tho.
Again I suggest you try toodledo first on your computer, then set it up as a bookmark on your phone. On the Note it looks great. Then if you like it, you can make it a short cut - and what do you know, something that seems like an app. Only issue is if you can get a connection. But that works on any computer device you want. Read your todo list on anyones computer if you need to. Apps are great but - I never use an app when the web will do. Same for me and google docs. I know then I have the cloud and the internet behind me. My phone dies, my data is safe and accessible anywhere on anything.
Side Note
There is a movement ( i generally support) where some folks call apple and android apps (mainly from large corporations) 'the anti-internet' - because many corporations are filtering the www world ( or own the ads) by making apps to stuff that is right there on the web anyways (a news radio station app for instance) but filters or dumbed down or controlled. They would love to get rid of the more open internet, and they worry that you might keep other windows open or you can ad block or click to other sites - so they want to filter and control you with there nice UI but filtered app. I love apps that do something, but if it is a refilter of the web - well I would rather put up for a slightly worse UI to get the real unfiltered internet. And of course with the Note ( size, pen, ...) it is easier to look at real webpages ( why I got it). google docs and toodledo are two examples of web over app.
