Thanks for all the positive feedback guys.
The sPen was one of the reasons why I bought the Note and since I have switched to Paranoid Android I was begging for a sMemo replacement. None of the few suggested Apps were as usable as sMemo. For me it's a must to organize the sketches in folders and to easily edit them in the future.

Soooo: Yes, yess, YESSSSSSS!

Thank you so much for this!

V2 working good with paranoid. Everything works good but working palm rejection (recognition) would be nice.

Kudos

Wonderful App!

But one remark: when I save a Memo and re-open the corresponding *.png file with (eg.) Gallery, the background is black (instead of white).

What did I do the wrong way?

What happens if you open the memo within the app? Is it still black?
I have seen it as well (the black png in gallery) but open it within the app and it's fine.
Pen button=eraser works for me.
Great app, chapeau! :thumbup:
Thank you very much.

Palm rejection is proving to be a lot more difficult than I first though, so it won't be coming for a while (certainly not in the next update).

I'm thinking once I get to the beta stage i'll put it in the market (and a donate version too for all you lovely people who want to give me money :p:D).

That's weird, i'll install paranoid and look into it!

Wonderful App!

What did I do the wrong way?

It's because the background of the memos is transparent. It appears white because all the activitys in the Memo app have a white background, however the gallery app has a black background. I'm thinking of adding an export mode where you can choose to to keep the background transparent or set it to white (among other things ;).

p.s. work on v0.3 is well underway :D

Hi,

This is really great.

I think I have found a bug, because I don't see how this could be a feature :

The setting for pen thickness is not remembered when I exit then re-enter a note.

Otherwise it's really nice to have this app.

Thanks a lot.

That's not a bug per-se, just a feature I didn't see the point of so didn't bother implementing. However if people want it i'll put it on the todo list :).

I think I might have found a bug in 0.3. When I switch between landscape and portrait my drawings disappear like it'd starting a new document.

Hi..installed this great and promising app (indeed what missing for CM9 users), but I noticed I cannot resize pictures when imported into memo. Small boxes at the corners appear for resizing, but not working....:(

P.S. I'm on Paranoid rom which is based on CM9

    Memo is a free and open source S-Pen drawing app. It is designed to be a CM9 compatible alternative to S-Memo and S-Note. Click the Play Store link if you want pictures :).

    Github: https://github.com/ngarside/Memo

    Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngarside.memo

    Original post:

    Now on the play store

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngarside.memo&feature=search_result

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngarside.memopro&feature=search_result

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Original post:

    I couldn't find a note taking app I liked that worked on cm9, so made this. Figured i'd post it here incase someone else finds it useful.

    Features multiple folders, insert pictures from camera/gallery (app can be opened directly from the gallery too). It uses the spen sdk so has the same pen type/colour/size chooser and image and text resize/move as the samsung apps.

    Anyway this is v0.1 (alpha), only been tested on 29/5 cm9 nightly.

    Corrected typos in settings

    v0.5 (alpha)

    Added version to about dialog
    Removed PDF export, this will be re-added in a future version

    Warning to users upgrading from v0.1 or v0.2

    Unlike previous versions, v0.4 (and to a lesser extent v0.3) reserves folders and files beginning with a full stop for system use. If you have made any folders which begin with a full stop you will need to manually edit their name using a file manager.

    Known issues

    Switching from portrait to landscape or vice versa causes the canvas to be reset, deleting any unsaved changes. UPDATE: this has been fixed in v0.4.

    The image resizing handles (blue box) are positioned to high, however image resizing still works, you just need to drag the corners of the image, not the corners off the blue box.

    Memo Pro is no longer available

    I am very grateful to everyone who purchased Memo Pro, however I have now taken it off the Play Store and it will not be receiving any updates. This is due to Memo now using the GPLv3 license. I recommend everyone using Memo Pro switches over to Memo.

    Memo v0.6.2 is out

    This is just a minor release, I've attached the APK to this post, or alternatively you can download it from the Play Store (link).

    Memo is now open source

    https://github.com/ngarside/Memo

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Also sorry if it takes me a while to respond to questions on here, I've got a lot of real life stuff happening ATM.

    Release Candidate!

    The release candidate (v0.7) is ready, however there's a lot that's changed in this version and I need help testing it. It's a full ground up re-write, and as such is more "experimental" than the previous beta. For this reason it won't be put on the play store.

    The main potential problem area is that it stores memos in a completely different way than the beta and will update the storage directory on first run.I recommend any testers to backup the storage directory before installing this. It's usually located at /sdcard/Memo.

    Also I've redone the language files, so this version is only available in english. If anyone wants to translate it i've attached the files to this post, and you can upload the translations here or email them to me at work@nathangarside.com (and if you want also include your real name so I can credit you).

    Assuming it all works as planned v1.0 should be up at the weekend :D.

    A couple of screenshots of the new overview screen and slide-in page list (these were taken in tablet mode at 213dpi):

    Change log:
    • Ground up re-write with many miscellaneous performance and interface improvements
    • Memos can now have multiple pages
    • Pen, eraser, background and text settings are now saved for each page
    • Added alignment options for text
    • Backgrounds are now saved and shared with memos
    • New colour picker dialog
    • New icon
    • Temporarily removed Russian and French translations
    • Updated widget to support multiple pages
    • Fixed bug where widget would reset after launcher restart Edit: well I thought I had fixed it but it's still there, woops :eek:
