Can someone be so kind and compile it for flashbale zip.I'm to lazy to do it.

DOWNLOAD - updated 6.05.2012

flashable zip thanks to smw6180


how to install

extract the zip, copy the note app to system/app then change permission to "644" do not manually install it. Then copy libnotes_jni.so and libnotesprovider_jni.so to system/lib and change permission to 644. After that reboot the device, you'll see a message upon booting up that it's updating android app.

that's it and it'll work

Aww now widget? It's ok, thanks for the efforts. Is there a particular place we can spam HTC with a request to at least put this in the hub for us? The freakin one x on at& t had it.

What do you mean by "change permission to 644"? When I long press on a file in ES File Explorer and click properties/permissions, it shows checkboxes for read/write/execute under user/group/other.

EDIT - Never mind. Figured it out. Works great - been waiting for this. Thanks!!

644 is rw r r

But you can just flash the zip I made. It handles permissions for you.

hey guys not sure what happened.It maybe a cache issue or a file that was removed that is relying on the widget to work.Long story short i decided to use RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter method after i was fully rooted it did wipe my data but kept the note.apk file and the widget app that i had already installed i went in the widget gallery and noticed that the note widget was available to use.so now i fully have htc note and widget on my phone.

Check the op for screen shot and re-download the file, i repacked the file that includes the widget hopefully smw can repack for you guys to flash it via recovery.Same method as mentioned in the op..

good luck and re-post back with results.

I was able to get the widget to work by pushing it to system and setting the permissions.

redid the zip in the original post to include the widget and permissions, but I'm not seeing it. If anyone wants to test it feel free.. Have to head to work, but I'll look at it again later if I have time.

I flashed and I'm also not seeing the widget. I'm on stock/rooted rom.

Yeah. Hey puertoblack2003 can you look at /system/app/Htc3DRichNotesWidget.apk and tell me what the permissions are on it? I have them set at 644 like everything else, but if that's not right tell me and I'll change the script.

Also, what does it come up as in the widget list? HTC Note? Note? Something else?

the note widget permission setting is 644 and under the widget panel there's 3 to choose from, under (notes) 2- 4x4 and 1 4x2. Before i decided to use the rag's root method i had removed several htc apps, htc hub, browser and a couple more.so rooting, It restored back to stock rom, but the note and note widget remained in the system/app folder. So i believe it has something to do with system cache not sure though all i know it's there.. :)

Well the zip wipes cache and dalvik after installing. Permissions are right, but the widget doesn't show in the list. If anyone figures it out, let me know and I'll update the zip for it. For now though, it's going install the widget, but I doubt most people will be able to use it.
