Yes, I just checked the documentation, starting with Android 4, the app's launcher icon is no longer active by default, but the API contains a new Java method to explicitly activate it. I will add this.

That's awesome, thank you for your hard work. It's not crucial as I've never used it before but I appreciate your explanation and dedication to your application.
Cheers.
I uploaded v1.13.1 into Google Play. The app icon should function now under ICS as well, it detects a further HTC variant, and it allows to exchange the position of the vertical scroll bar and the zoom bar (which might be helpful for left handers).
Acadoid - just gave it a good try out. Great app. The customization of settings really sets it apart for good workflow. One question. Is there any way to change the dashed border for auto page movement to closer to the edge?
Many thanks, I am glad to hear that you like the app.
To allow the boundaries of the auto-forward page closer to the display edges than the present 10% of display width/height is feasible, I will change that.

Great. I have spent several hours setting up and trying out the program. I have between 10-20 client interviews per week and I want to replace my old fuji slate tablet pc with OneNote for the interviews. You have come closest of all the really good products to replacing that functionality. Adding voice recording and sync and auto save to dropbox or google drive would fully replicate it in my book.
Keep up the good work.

Since v1.12.2, the app allows to set the directory in which your notebooks are stored to any place in the file system. Doesn't this allow to store your notebooks at a place which gets automatically sync'ed with your favorite cloud service?
I just checked, and on my TPT you can't change the main directory your files are stored to (mnt/sdcard...
This is the system sd card. I would like to be able to save my files to any sd card of my choice and would need to be able to edit that directory shown under storage.
Also, what is the "default" storage location? Thanks for any help.
Love LectureNotes!
Sorry, one more thing. How do I import notes from Quill and have them still be editable? What format are LectureNotes notes?

Yes, I have the same problem as well. If I change the storage location to sd card, the notebook board does not import the notes to the new directory on the sd card. I had used the free version of Lecturenotes quite extensively before buying the full version and I would like to import those notes into the purchased edition.
Many thanks Markus! This is the best note application I've used and I've tried everything including antipaper, pen supremecy etc.. As a medical student I use this app for almost all my class lectures and seminars. I love how quick and accurate the writing is and the plethora of pencil and notebook customizations in addition to the ability to import/export a variety of different formats. I especially like how you can import an image and edit. It's especially useful for memorizing and labeling in anatomy. If you include the option of pdf import with annotation/highlighting, I may never use ezpdf again. I like how the organization and graphical layout is simplistic which is really representative of an actual binder notebook I use to use before I discovered tablet writing

Many thanks for your kind comments.
The default storage location is the so-called external files directory of the app (an Android standard) which should be something like /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.acadoid.lecturenotes/files (or /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.acadoid.lecturenotestrial/files for the trial version). This might differ from device to device, the exact location is given on the app's help page.
The easiest way to get your notebooks to the new location is to `backup notebooks board´, this will create LectureNotesNotebooksBoard.zip in the app's directory, to change the app directory, to restart the app, and to `restore notebooks board´ from the previously created zip (the latter requires a file manager to be installed for file selection). This works of course also between the trial and the full version.
To allow to set the app directory outside the internal SD card (outside /mnt/sdcard) is a good idea, I noted that down.
To import directly Quill files is not possible, Quill uses a vector-based approach where as LectureNotes uses a bitmap-based approach (the pages are stored in standard PNG files). You need to convert your notes in Quill to PNG or JPEG first. Then you can zip the PNG files together and import them in notebook overview in one shot.
To allow to import PDF is suggested very frequently, but this would require to implement a full-flagged PDF renderer, as there is no Android system library for PDF rendering. The PDF reference manual is a book of around 1100 pages, and to implement a PDF renderer would be a lot of work. The best solution at the moment is to convert your PDF file to PNG (this is easier done outside the Android world), zip them together and import them in notebook overview in one shot. Alternatively, you can create snapshots of your PDF file in Android and share them to LectureNotes for immediate insertion into a notebook.

I just uploaded v1.13.2 into Google Play. Besides a couple of minor improvements, there is now a quick custom pencil settings that opens when double-clicking on one of the custom pencils in the pencil toolbox. This should ease to quickly change custom pencils.
Great info thanks. If I group the Quill files as you suggest, will I then be able to import them into new notebooks separately later?
The vector vs. bitmap is the one reason I'm still using Quill. I'm going to use your app for everything else and keep Quill for situations when I need/prefer vector-based.

After you converted your Quill pages into a set of PNG files and zip'ed them together, you can import them at once into LectureNotes in `Notebook overview´ as new pages using the menu item `Import image set as new pages´. Note that the order of import is determined by the order of the PNG files in the ZIP file (but you can rearrange pages in `Notebook overview´ in case something went wrong). There are a couple of settings related to the import (keep aspect ratio, add margins, etc.). In case you have dozens or even hundreds of pages to import, it is probably advisable to try the import first for a small set of pages to see whether the result is as desired.
I have imported my quill pages as pictures on top of different pages in a lecturenotes notebook. I guess the zip way would have been easier!
btw thanks for this great app, I used it successful for a full semester of college!
Many thanks, I am glad to hear that you like the app.
You can import Quill pages (or a set of other PNGs) of course also page-wise, but to zip them together to import them at once is probably worthwhile already for a small number.

I'm a very happy user of LectureNotes since a couple of weeks. It is very useful. One feature I'd like to see being added is an option to add a page margin for PDF export. Thanks.
Hey just a general question. I know a lot of these handwriting apps were developed on the thinkpad. How do they handle on an Ideapad?

I really like your app, too, and use it almost daily. One thing that would be great IMO, and I would appreciate seeing, is the ability to create a note on the fly - bypassing the create screen altogether - and then be able to name it and/or file it in a folder later. If this is already possible I haven't found it.
BTW The new dark scheme is great. Thanks. Much nicer to my eyes.

Sorry for late answer, I have not looked into this thread for a couple of days.
I am glad to hear that you like the new dark theme.
Page margins for PDF export are on my agenda and likely to be added soon.
LectureNotes should work fine on an Ideapad (but I am not sure whether hardware detection of stylus works).
A kind of quick note, interesting idea. You could add a notebook `Quick notes´, create a shortcut of it on your launcher screen to allow for an easy access, make your quick notes there, and sort them into other notebooks later on (LectureNotes allows to copy parts of a page, a single page, or multiple pages to clipboard and paste them into other notebooks).
