[APP] JotPad -[U]- 9/Jan/2012 - With SkyDrive upload, multitouch, custom backgrounds - Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games

JotPad 1.3
What is the Jotapad? It's a Windows Phone app to jot down anything you want. Having a conversation with someone and really need to do a drawing to illustrate your thoughts? This is the app you've been looking for!
Want to scribble over a picture of your boss just for fun? Add a moustache and a beard like you did in the high school? Have a blast!
Just want to pass some time doing some doodles? You've came to the right place!
Anyhow, on with the show and the new features:
- SkyDrive upload, use your Windows Live ID and upload your doodles straight to your SkyDrive!
- Custom background images, use any image you have on your Pictures Hub as the background of your doodle! You can annotate in any picture.
- Save to phone, save your pictures on the phone, look at them anytime you want!
And the old favorites:
- Live Tile support, if you pin the app to the start screen it will show the last drawing you made.
- Multi touch support, using two fingers you are able to zoom, rotate and move around the page of your drawing.
- Various colors and image backgrounds, use one of the three lovely made backgrounds for that extra flair on your sketch.
Let me know what you think about it, and what should be improved. Just post in this thread and I'll be notified and get back to you.
BTW, in the next version, which I'm testing ATM, I've added advertisement, AdDuplex to be more specific to see if I can get some nice exposure for my app. What do you guys think of that? Is AdDuplex a good way to get some exposure? Can anyone with experience on this area leave some feedback please? That would be most appreciated.

looks like great app.. Any beta testing is available.

You can get the app here http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=dd496842-8119-4420-9bc6-1d39a58a6b87, straight from the Marketplace. Or just search for JotPad. Let me know what you think about it.

Nice app, I like it! I especially appreciate that it syncs with skydrive.
What is the best way to select a new background or pen color? (It's early and I probably need more coffee, thanks for bearing with my question

Press the middle button on the application bar to choose a different pen. For the background you have to go to settings and the swipe to the page background page and choose whatever background color or image you want.
Another thing I just realized, I probably should include a help page so that people know how to use the app. I was watching a review of my app on YouTube and the guy had no idea on how to use it and made it look kinda bad.

I would need it in classroom

Oh dear, I really did need more coffee earlier!! I didn't even think to swipe right in settings, although the settings page headings make it very clear there's more info available. My apologies.
Not a bad idea to have a help page, but you'll always folks like me who just weren't paying attention.

Diamond novice needs your help... PLS!!!

After having a Touch a few months back, i thought the Diamond would be a breeze. NO such luck in my experience.
For example. On the main home screen. How do you edit that so it's just the clock or, to add more to the list that currently shows calendar and call history? I can't find any way to do this so if you can enlighten me, i'd really appreciate it.
What about when texting? Is there any way to make the keypad a different size? Personally i can't find a way to edit that. It's annoying that after adding your contacts name, you seemingly have 90% of the screen filled with the entry system and you have to mess about to get to the message section of the screen. Guessing i've missed something somewhere!
Zooming in on a photo... how is that done? Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
This thread could become a handy hints and tips chart for beginners if all feedback is good so if you have a question or some simple advice for settings and the way to go around things, chuck a note in and someone will be very happy to see the reply
1) Well if u flick ur finger in an upward motion on the home screen u'll notice the clock becoming smaller and will list all the list all ur appointments from ur calendar...
2) If u are not satisfied in the HTC Keyboard, u will need to look into other keyboards my fav personally is Touchpal from Cootek and there is even resco keyboard which is pretty gud.
3) You can only zoom in a picture when u r in the HTC Album, in order to zoom you will need to rotate your finger clockwise or anti-clockwise i am always forget which is for zooming so u will need chk tht out...
I hope these tips helps u out....

Hmmmmmm, i see. Shame that somehow we can't take the good things from the Touch like the Home screen as standard and have them in the 3D instead. If any cab compilers are reading this, maybe it's something that could be done?
Along those lines, maybe someone could rip out the original texting keyboard, the smaller more compact one... better for stylus use and enables you to see more screen. I HATE the big finger pad they've put on the Diamond. Is is really necessary to have it that big? Surely if you're going to use the stylus (i mean if HTC didn't want us to use one, then ALL the functions and menus would be larger, yes?), then why provide us with one in the first place?!?!!

There are multiple SIPs already built into the Diamond. Holding your finger or stylus on the small arrow next to the keypad button when input is allowed will display the menu, from there you can select the Windows SIP which is tiny and stylus friendly...
Reading the manual is a good idea before posting dude. Or even a search

Well thanks for that reply. I'll have a mess about with that one.
That took no time at all. NO WINDOWS SIP on my handset. All i have are the following... BLOCK, COMPACT, FULL, KEYBOARD, LETTER, PHONEPAD and TRANSCRIBER *sigh*
What bloody version have you got?!?!!
Oh and for the record Mr Read-The-Text-Provided (lol)... did i not say this? ---> Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
Hmmmmm, i think i did!
Ok... answer this one then. Every other HTC phone i have had has done this but not on the Diamond. When you receive a simple thing like an mms or a text, the screen lights to give a clue in case you never heard the message laert. How you you activate THAT cus i'm not seeing how it'ds done anywhere.
Clues please?
I agree - the 'manual/instructions' Orange sent were non-existent and as a first time PPC user I was totally lost until I had a nosey around here and to be fair am still learning all what this phone can do!

HTC want a good kicking if you ask me. The thing as I see it is this. If they'd have kept the basics as it was on the Kaiser (Tytn II) and THEN added the 3D, all would have been superb.
As for Orange... well, nuff said

Thanks for that chap. My tone? Oh well if i've offended anyone then i apologise. I'm just a bit jumpy when things don't go according to plan and my comments come over as slightly abrasive when in fact, they're supposed to come over as a normal question but in a jokey type manner.

Save some Christmas $$$ Barcode Scanning [App]

Initially accidently posted this in the Diamond forum...
Happy Holidays.
After reading a post here or in another forum I stumbled across a program called BARCORAMA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
Its a program that lets you scan UPC barcodes with your camera and then goes out to the internet to let you find the lowest price online for that item...already saved me quite a bit...and made shopping feel sortof fun for once...fealt like a spy..LOL
Works Awesome on my touch Pro...strangely seems to work better when I zoom to 2x and take the picture than when im in close
__________________
looks sweet will try it out in 30 mins @ lunch time!!!
Barcorama
I got the app working great on a touch pro.
Except I changed the default to pop open skyfire for the browser, and also piped it into Google shopping search engine, rather than just google. B/c in shopping it already shows the prices and places to buy.
Neat app! Thanks. Minor suggestion, offer the ability to put a path for the images and / or a way to name it when you shoot the UPC.

What URL did you use to make it use Google Shopping search engine?

open the app, go into settings and hit the right arrow until you see the google address. then replace the word "search" with "products"

LOL...no, sorry for the misunder standing. I was trying to add credability to the other guys post of pointing it to google shop instead of just google. I wanted to just put +1 as in I am also wanting this, but you have to have 10 characters to make a post.
mine is not working everything i scan says no barcode i have the pro and question what is it suppose 2 say for program 2 run
does anybody have an idea of why its not working
Zoom in to 2.0 on the camera and try again.
still not working do i have 2 upgrade the rom 2 use this program
is there a cab file for this? or how do install this to my phone? just use sync and drag and drop it into my program files??
yeah I found Standing further away from the barcode and doing a 2.0 Zoom really helped...I make the barcode fill the screen and make sure its sharply focused before taking the picture...
...In terms of how to install...i created a folder called Shopping in my Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder and dropped the EXE file in there...You will then see the folder in your Windows/Programs area....i put it in its own folder because it saves each barcode where the program is installed and i didnt want them in my programs menu.
Yeahh....I found a new way to kill time and kill my battery...lol
I've run out of things to scan around the house.
I now know the best prices of everything in my work place...lol
I even depressed a few when I showed them better prices......
Walmart thinks I'm a spy...lol....had to turn of the sounds while taking pictures of barcodes....Security was confused too.....
This really is an achievement! Thanks to the creator of Barcorama.....
To change to shopping in google
The above poster is right, just change search, in the http string to product and that's it. Then it shows you a listing of prices and locations, pretty slick.
As for the person not getting it to work, it won't work if you're megapixels is set to 3MP, I dropped mine down to 1MP and that did it for me.
James
More things to scan
Hey noellenchris, don't forget all your cd's and coffee table books, or IT books....
I even scanned a can of Progresso soup and it found it. Crazy.

Keep your phone upright when you take the picture. I found if I turned the phone sideways and took the picture, it would not find the barcode. Keep the phone straight up and down when you take the pic.
I changed my camera to take a picture on Touch instead of Touch and Press. Right after it autofocuses, it'll take the picture. Getting much better results this way since when I would use Touch and Press, when I would press to take the picture, my hand would move.

Sticky Note Widget.

I was bored and wanted a learning exercise so I wrote this because I always wanted had it on all my other phones.
Basically a stick note widget. A short title and then note body. Click on the note to display the body. Body text is fully link enabled.
Yes I know its not perfect and for some reason the H builds see the initial entry screen very thin ( this doesnt happen on G builds and the emulator )
FUTURE: Select your note colour.
Who knows what else.
Version 1.01: Ability to edit notes. Long press expanded note. I am still not 100% happy with the look of the expanded note.
Version 1.0.3: Added cork board background to expanded note - much better look. Used jpeg images app size now 1/4 what it was.
http://thecrayonbox.org/files/StickyNote-sgn.apk
PS: I would have posted this in the market but it seems not to like this app
I have not tried it, but keep improving it (if it can be improved on) and enter my contest
http://android-dls.com/droid-dev-challenge.html
Hey!
Just installed it, it's looking good and actually pretty useful
Thanks for sharing.
Could someone upload it to a site that the g1 can download from? I would like to try this now.
reached download limit - could you put it somewhere else?
would like to try it
Cannot download
Awww, i would like to try this widget out, thank you for your hardwork. This widget would be very useful to me as i could see wat is my homework lol
Can you attach your widget to this thread? should be easier to pick it up
Can you post another link, first link either doesn't work or reached download capacity.
This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.
This limit is reached.

Fantastic little app. Thank you!
great little widget. I'm sure you're still improving things. my suggestion for now would be to change the pop-up note to look more like the little one. Something like this. http://freedomfighterskateboards.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/post-it-note.jpg
Great application. Can you do some modifications like editing the note, and bigger on screen size? It is verry useful. By the way, i can host it - if you need hosting place, please write me private message.
Works great. The intial launch screen looks a little odd but it works well!

I agree. Since the pop-up note is small why not make the input area the same size as the note. What about a way to edit the note? it would be nice to have a way to edit the text once it's been posted.
Just thoughts .. Thanks for sharing!!
I dl'ed this to my sd card, but I'm unclear on how to install. Sorry noob question I know.
DUDE!
This is a great concept...
I would think that you are still developing the UI and adding the ability to edit a note on-the-fly... having access to the live text would be great for cut and paste functions.
I look forward to the next update...
This should be a "STICK" topic... Get it... Sticky
I crack myself up
Good Work man...
That's a cool little app right there. Good job man!

Provided you have ADB Setup... (if not google it)
Connect the phone to the PC-
Open a command prompt
Type
adb remount
adb install C:\(where ever you have the file stored)
And PESTO!!! you have your sticky note widget...
That's how I installed it
DUDE.
This is pretty frickin' awesome.
Well done.

Task Tab in TF3D

A long time ago I posted this:
I know that I would donate $10 to someone who can take the time to figure this out. It has to be possible to add a Tasks tab to the TF3D interface.
I don't want to have to switch to second today or anything like that - fully integrated! A clean and simple list of tasks maybe with an "X" delete button on the right side of each task.
I know people say it's impossible, but with some time I'm sure it can be done.
If you would like this too and would be willing to donate some - just leave a post saying so - maybe someone will be enticed to collect such a prize enough to figure it out!
If you do figure it out and post a reply - you're my hero and please set up a thread for donations!
edit: By tasks I mean things you have to do in real life - NOT a list of running programs - linked in to the 'Tasks' program that's a part of outlook...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now I sort of have it.
With Manila Today Page showing TasksPlus - I now have one of the tabs as tasks well integrated
BUT - I still want it to show a little notification (the little bubble on the e-mail and txt tabs that shows how many of those new you currently have)
Any ideas?
can we get a screenshot of what u have going?

Manilla for Android - Update Dec. 22

Manilla for Android
This is a home replacement app I have been working on.
May. 13th: Apk
Dec. 22nd: Visual changes, under the hood stuff, open beta soon!
Nov. 22nd: Just added settings picture.
For everyone that complains about not being able to run anything or for me to hurry up. Here is the apk, pretty much nothing works. You will just be able to look at stuff and launch applications. Tabs are not in the right order and dont bother reporting problems to me at this point.
I am def curious to see what you got going on.
yea i would love to see that in action
added some pictures.
sure
Looks pretty cool, I would keep at it.
Nice! You should get together with some other devs for this..
Lol, I'm so curious about what you can do! Great idea.
dont give up this is definately worth finishing.
yeah definitely worth finishing my friend....
"who cares" if some dont like it, if any at all... its great to see a new look and feel
its "Open Source" so dont let someone shut the door
will there be widgets included... doesnt matter, but curious to see if every aspect will be changed, window by window, will there be usage of a new music app, custom this custom that?
wow im lost (intox)
I will finish it, i will maybe make a video soon.
I currently have these tabs planned:
Main screen, contacts, applications, messages, email, weather, music, and settings.
Idk about widgets yet but what would be cool would be to come up with some kind of system that instead of widgets maybe devs can create plugins that add new tabs.
With this can you actually slide accross the tabs? Or do you have to tap each one?
BTW this looks great
i do like this... keep the work up...
if it could be color customizable, that would be fantastic!!!
everything slides, including the main content area the tab content areas slide to show the next. The grid views are very slow, so i need to find a new alternative to them.
Would this be a home replacement application?
This would be very similar to a portion of SweeterHome (alternate Home Screen app). Can tell you that issues you will run into are memory and graphics management (the SH dev has been working a LONG time to work those out as well as a lot of bugs in Android that had to be worked around). Not trying to discourage you. If you can make this a stand alone app without being a Home Screen replacement... I would say go for it.
home replacement is a stand alone app you just add a filter to display in the menu. I dont think it makes a difference performance wise.
