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 :).

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.

v0.3 (alpha)

Fixed another DPI related layout bug
Added S-Pen button options
Releasing the S-Pen button will now switch back to the previous tool used
Added finger touch options
General UI improvements

App is now locked to portrait mode
Fixed bug where s-pen would use finger mode tools

General performance improvements
Fixed bug where \"Done\" button on keyboard would not have any effect when setting a custom offset
Fixed bug where images imported from the gallery would be overly compressed
To handle the higher quality imported images the application now requests an increased heap size
Files that start with a full stop \".\" are now reserved for system use
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.

Just installed it and took it for a test drive. Seems to work well. I am not sure how it compares to smemo as I moved to CM9 fairly soon after obtaining my new note.

Anyway thanks and I'll give feedback after some more play. So far stylus control is good.

Just what I was looking for, thanks a lot!

It's so easy to insert pictures and make notes etc, and the result can be shared easily via email which was important to me.

Tested it in AOKP build 37 and is working fine, BTW can u make it to support multi-DPI?
with 240dpi, the menu is getting cluttered.

This app had a great potential especially for those of us who like using CM9/AOKP/AOSP roms. I only had 1 question, since it's developed using spen sdk, isit possible to have setting to change from right-handed to left-handed or vice-versa?

Sounds really great! Does it support palm rejection? This is the only thing that currently keeps me at the stock ICS...

Edit: based on the SDK site, it should be possible:

New com.samsung.spen.lib.input package :
For both Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) versions of Android :
• Can now distinguish between a touch with a finger or the S Pen
• Side button status for compatibility

Only just noticed your edit :eek:.

I can stop the finger input by just overriding onTouchFinger and returning true. The problem with that is that whenever you move your finger/palm/hand it stops recognizing the s-pen input, and you have to lift the pen up and then put it back down for it to be recognized again. Obviously it's pretty much impossible to keep your hand still while writing.

Really a great work! Thanks.
Do you think it is possible to implement widgets?
It would be the definitive solution for many of us as Smemo replacement.

It's definitely possible, although I don't know when I'll have the time to do it (want to try getting palm rejection done first).

Well I've just figured out I was wrong and it is possible lol, by adding in a customisable pen offset position. Won't have an update ready for a couple of days though.

YES YES YES on the widget OPTION. would love to switch to CM9 or even back to ICStunner but i use the S memo a lot and the S MEMO widget alot and would love that option.

Also the one where u press the button and tap the screen and takes the picture and opens up edit mode but that is utterly different then this but the widget option would be great!!!

    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:
