April 7
Here's another new version.
Turned on hardware acceleration.
Fixed some of the initial setup issues.
Fixed issue when using a Wifi XOOM with the web service.
Fixed some misc infrequent crashes
Removed some unecessary debug code
Known issues
Colors still don't work
If you choose a google account, and have never provided permission before, a loading dialog will not show up. This has been a ***** to fix because the emulator is dog slow and I have to wipe everytime I try to test.
---------------------------
As promised here's a new release. quickjotter-android2.apk is the new one. I left the old one on there in case you don't like the permissions for the new one.
It has a few performance improvements. There is now an editor in the main view, so you can still use the syncing without having the always visible sticky. I've also added a syncing component, just choose a google account when the app first runs to use that account.
http://quickjotter.appspot.com for the web interface. Log in with whatever account you choose when you first run the app. Syncing to your XOOM is done via C2DM, so it does not poll and should impact battery life minimally.
Please uninstall the old version before installing this one.
Some notes...
I've had some testing troubles since I can't figure out how to wipe out the permissions to access a Google Account without removing it, which is a total pain in the ass. So it's quite possible this version will crash right off the bat. I apologize if it does. Hopefully I'll be able to test a first use aspect more this week before it goes public. Please let me know any oddities related to account permissions.
The colors don't work yet.
The account selection is very rough, press it once and wait a few seconds it should go away. If you hit the back button it will likely screw up. This is my priority to fix this coming week.

Hi guys,
I started working on a proof of concept for a sticky note app for the XOOM.
Right now there's one note, it's the only note. Swipe inward over the bar to bring up the note. You can't move the note.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please don't distribute it.

This looks neat. I'll give it a try.
For what its worth, my home screen began to run really rough after installing this and having the service run in the background. But its a very handy app. Looking forward to further developements.
Hmmm. Perhaps it's due to the transparency. I'll look into it.
Hopefully this weekend I'll have a new version up.
Some editing and UI improvements. Some performance improvements as well, since I remove some bad debug cod. Also push synching between your device and the web. So you can get stuff off of or put it onto your XOOM.
Awesome idea, I have to agree there is some pretty heavy slow down post installation.
Going to remove the semi transparentness of the bar. Any objections or suggestions? The sticky note will remain semi transparent.
Yay for new version.
Couldn't open the apk..
Just me? Hmm.
this is great! Thank you Thank you Thank you
Hi guys,
I should have a new release in the next few days. Mainly bug fixes. I'll possibly work on getting colors working or at least removing that toolbar if they don't work.
Any thoughts on the current version. Stability issues? Has anyone used the website?

The app is great! The only thing I suggest is nothing that will make the app more functional, but rather aesthetically pleasing IMO. Can you capitalize the "new" and "hide" buttons?
also possibly making the hidden bar a bit skinnier?
Thanks for the suggestions. I have no sense of style, so most of my apps are ugly as hell, but I hope they are usable.

haha, you are too humble..just keep making updates! =)
so any updates on this? Another suggestion is the ability to access the settings menu from the note. Like have a new, hide and settings button
Going to be a delay of a few days until the next version. Just swapped my XOOM for a wifi one, and that caused a handful of issues.
Also noticed some peculiarities with the website data. Anyone out there want to tell me if the web syncing has been working?
Any updates?
Just because you asked I'll put the current Work in Progress later today. It's pretty stable except for a wonky initial sign in if you pick a Google Account, you will see no loading screen for a few seconds.
Ok latest version updated. Next on the agenda is adding the location setting to the note and making the "bar" much more eye pleasing and less intrusive.
today i had a notification update the update was 0.95 GB
in the change log it mentioned adding face unlock the new night mode (enhanced than before) plus nay security patches and improvements ....
im still updating so i didnt try them out yet
would keep you posted if you are interested
so? can you give us an update on the update?
Biggest feature is the face unlock
It is super fast and secure too as i tried using a picture of me and stuff which sometimes works on other phones but it didn't unlock also there is no a raise to wake feature kinda like the iphone
Didn't notice yet any performance and battery changes
Just a slight camera optimization
Will keep u updated as i use it more...
Did u get the face unlock?
Also there is a new app called app gallery
Basically another application store but it also updates huawei's own applications and stuff
My mate 10 has face unlock with april update patch.. not may.
I updated mine and its mentioned that theres new night shot mode but nothing new in night shot mode

It is the one from the p20. 4 seconds and stabilized. Old night mode was 8 seconds and shakey by hand for me
I like the update. Face unlock is fast to, has a lift to wake option now
My mate 10 is rooted with magisk and using twrp as recovery. How can i update to latest? Update with OTA will brick my phone??
noticed that the theme app was acting slowly... then while playing around with huawei's appstore, I set the country to china (funny, they removed the united states as an option from the list of countries now). After that, the theme app updated itself, and now we have a lot more options to download. The china one seems to be mostly paid, but change it to any other country and the remaining ones only show the free options. Guess since china doesn't have payment options from those countries, the paid themes/wallpapers/etc don't show up
With the last update there came a new UI for the music player interface. Thats quite nice to see Google is active working month by month on improve Android Auto. But there is still a long way ahead. I think on one hand its also danger to change a interface without guide a user in detail about changes.
Sadly as a developer I didn´t find any announcement of this change and now my music player isnt working anymore. Have no clue why...
Maybe someone got a link with details about changes?
Update: Found out Google updated https://developer.android.com/training/auto/audio/ silently to meet the new design and functionality. Sadly it´s hard to see in detail what changed from last version to the actual. I am still wondering why my app isnt working anymore.
Turns out that the stock Samsung Gallery has a secret menu, and it`s easy to enable it, take a look.
Moderator Edit: YouTube link removed due to violation of XDA external links policy.
Best part is that it runs on One UI 3.1/3.0/2.5 and 2.1 so even earlier devices should benefit.
Test it for yourself and let us know here what you were able to activate or de-activate.
Doesn't do anything on my Note 10+ /Pie.
Damn! Which version are you using (Gallery & One UI)? It should work back to One UI 2.1 - can you try again - you have to aim for the last few digits - I myself did not get it the first time...

Gallery 10.2.00.19/ One UI vers 10.0.40.6
No go with this version.
Samsung is fond of hidden secret menus. Who knows how many there really are?
I found one by accident over a year ago.
Really? Those goofballs would have you tapping on everything. It's more than just annoying.
Anymore I cringed at updating any Samsung apk other than Wearables. Last update on the Good Lock family of apps left it with dumb looking creepy dancing icons on the main menu and zero tangible functionality improvements.
Small wonder I'm still running Pie; don't need AT&T/Samsung and Google screwing up -my- N10+!
I found a few more in Bixby (allowing capsule test) and S Health (a bit more settings) - still testing them...
Agree - stick on Pie - unless you dont want to test next versions
I finally got it to work. You have to press on the version number several times not the word Gallery. Kind of interesting....
I tried and it did not work, but i tried harder, and being pixel perfect? It did work on A32 latest version.
Works on my S21+ (stock) with all the latest updates. Thanks!

I received the beta update after applying as soon as it was available.
It works pretty well, I installed it through OTA without a factory reset. Haven't noticed any major bug or issue since installing it, it's very good and outisde of a few imperfections, it could easily look like final software in terms of feature and stability.
Only new feature, coming from the Zenfone9, is the Edge Tool, that allows apps to be run from a sidebar in their own floating window from any screen (reminds me of Small Apps from older Sony phones, pretty useful stuff at the time).
Anyone else from XDA also on the beta?
BlackBerry did it

I hav applied but not yet received the update.
It's almost 2 weeks that I'm also on the beta on Zen 8.
Very pleased also so far. No issues at all. Just VoWifi option not available as it was before with A11 and A12.
Really satisfied with stability, responsiveness, battery life and so on.
Really well done Asus. Please keep up the good job.
