Working fine for me.....

What DPI is set for the app?

Have you tried clearing data?

I created this application out of my need as I used S Memo for taking notes, meeting minutes and using the widgets as the sticky notes. I found memo to be the closest one but widgets was broken and I decided to create a new application based on SPen SDK 2.1

Features of GNote
1. Multiple widgets which remains even after reboot. Widgets are updated as soon as the corresponding note is edited.
2. Multiple pages with easy navigation
3. Update existing widgets note
4. Simple toolbar which can be hidden.
5. Notes Gallery for managing notes. (image of the first page of the note is shown in notes gallery)
6. Notes Gallery - Multiple notes can be deleted.
7. Images from gallery and camera can be added to the note.
8. Settings - option to disable back key
9. Settings - option to disable finger touch.
10.It remembers last used pen and eraser settings and uses the same when the app is launched next time.
11. Very smooth and does not lag.
12. Clicking on the title bar of widget opens a new note
13. Clicking on the body of the widget opens the note corresponding to the widget.

Compatible with ICS and JB.

Change Log

1. Add Images from camera and gallery
2. Layout changes to improve user experience
3. Added Settings and about screens

0.3
1. Background colors can be added to the notes. The same will be applicable to the widgets
2. Settings - Left Hand (Please report if not working fine)

5. Note is saved without any confirmation. Further, you can save the note on demand using the save button. Note is saved when you navigate to some other activity or on exit of the application.
6. Some Icons changed (still a WIP).
7. Saves the notes faster. reduced the saving time by 50%.
an many insignificant fixes.

If you find any bug please report it here. Do not forget to mention the Rom on which you are. Do not report bug if used other than galaxy note

You can donate to me by using about dialog from the application or from here. Donations are not necessary and will not have any effect on the development of the application.

Special Thanks to

Thanks to Devmil for his color chooser.

Please press thanks if you like my application. At least I deserve that

I would like to inform you that due to lot of changes in my life (country, job, etc) I am not finding sufficient time to work on this application and the updates to it may no longer happen in the near future.

I would like to thank you all for appreciating the work done by me.

Would you consider releasing as open source or passing it to another developer?

Thanks.

Please... just down two days trying all the apps after switching over to ASOP ROM. None of them have the simplicity and functionality as here.

Papyrus has the most potential, but lacks widget and insert image.

Lecture notes and Free Note are awesome, but a little too complicated. Lecture notes has awesome image and lasso cuts, but lacks widget. Free Note is a bit clunky.

GNotes is nice with sync, but keeps annotations separate. Widget is limited.

Memo from market has promise, and seems very similar to this. But widget force closes.

I'd say hand it over to papyrus guys... best of both worlds if they can implement what you have accomplished.

Thanks!

I agree with the other posters. Hopefully you will consider releasing the source code for other developers to work on.

Two suggestions

This app is really a boon! I have two suggestions, though:
1. As @martywix already mentioned, I'd love to see just the text area, sans the widget title bar. I can understand why it's there but I'd like just as much to get rid of it.
2. The widget resizes text (flattens it to accomodate all the writing instead of just the centre as in the stock app widget) and that renders the text useless to read.
This is a great app and if these suggestions are incorporated into the next update, I might stop using the stock app altogether !

Well played. Not only did you quote the entire first post unnecessarily, but you've also completely missed the last few posts which state that the developer is not going to be releasing any more versions.

What I would LOVE the most: If we can get rid of the GNote banner at the top of the widget.

    Masiullah? Still developing this app? Long time no see in this thread...

    Still there are lot of features that I have planned to implement but was busy for past month as I was moving to another country. In a week or two I will again start the development of this app.

    If i'm not totally wrong, you can upload your app to the Play Store, but you can't sell it. It has to be free. Or if you want to sell apps on the Play Store, you'll have to find a person (that you trust 110%) who can sell your app(s) on your behalf.

    I searched a lot but the only answer I get is pay $25 and upload free or paid apps. Since, this application is free, its best for me to host it on XDA.
