LectureNotes app

@Chinaboy5216: Amazon manually tests all uploaded app, including all updates, which takes some time.

@Hahahalalala: I don't see what I can do in LectureNotes.

@lukair1983: Inaccuracies of the S-pen close to the display boundary is a common problem.

@acadoid: I have an original G-note 10.1 (not 2013 version). If I replace it, Lecture Notes compatibility would be at the very top of my list. Can you say what device you think has the best pen support today (accuracy, pressure, etc.)? If you could buy yourself a tablet to run LectureNotes, what would it be?

That explains a lot! Thanks for the feedback, actually not bad what they do.
I was just wondering why there is a delay.

@oberbrunner: I think that devices with Wacom's EMR technology are the best choice; this technology is used by several manufacturers including Samsung in their S-pen.

request to acadoid

Could add an eraser as the s-note. Lecturenotes is a free eraser. S-note erases an entire line at a time.
Thank you.

@julianopaz: LectureNotes is bitmap-based, not object-based; in such context, a line-eraser is essentially impossible to implement. LectureNotes has instead a `lasso´ eraser: If you get close to the starting point, the eraser path closes. Lifting the stylus in that moment erases the interior.

When KitKat became available for the AT&T Note 3 I elected to factory reset before installing. Having reinstalled Lecturenote I find that the standard pen thickness are too thin to see. It worked fine before but at least I'm trying to figure out how to make them appear thicker on the page.

Thanks

@Vetdoctor: You can control the thickness of the standard pencils in the app's handling settings.

This is the part where you grind your teeth and wonder how I tie my shoes in the morning.

I open Lecturenotes>menu>settings>tools>Pencil tool box. . . no not there. Nor elsewhere that I can find. I can create a new custom pencil that has the characteristics but I cannot find how to change the custom pencils.

Thanks,

@Vetdoctor: It is the fourth entry in the `Handling´ section of the settings.

If I did this right the screenshot is attached. I can move the slider for the pen a bit to the + side but cannot reach all the way. The pencil remains quite small. Picture was with phone in landscape.

Thanks,

@Vetdoctor: Which device are you using? The display seems very small (or the chosen fonts be very large).

In any case, all dialogs in LectureNotes are scrollable, both horizontally and vertically.

Understood, in any case I found I could only scroll with it in landscape and then with some difficulty in reaching either end to scroll. The phone is an AT&T Note 3. The phone's font is default font set to "small". With your hint, I found the "Dialog size" in the Display settings and changed it from normal to 75% which makes it easier to handle.

I did eventually figure out that I had clicked the "velocity sensitive" box and that made the pencil fairly unreadable. I have now unchecked it.

cannot use custom patterns anymore...

Hi,
I am using a note 10.1 2014.
After rooting with xkat3.0 and restoring by titanium, all of custom patterns which i have been using are not visible any more and its just a blank white page.
tried full wipe and installed it from play store rather than titanium restoring, and it show again a blank white page.
Only I can use is provided patterns in the app.
However, custom drawing tools are fine but only patterns.

if anyone knows the reason and the solution, please tall me what to do..

thanks,

Answering my own question ;
I read an post that solved this issue.
It is because I enabled 'enforced GPU/hardware rendering' in the device's developer settings.
Acadoid says "This slows down LectureNotes a lot, furthermore it prevents custom paper pattern being displayed."

thanks,

Ram consumption

Hey acadoid.
Since i've upgraded my note 10.1 2014 to KitKat (4.4.2) I get alot of "out of memory, troubles ahead" while using Lecturenotes, when i'm looking at the Task manager the RAM used by the app is ~450-500mb and there's still 500mb free on the ram (2.2/2.7GB).
Do you know what may cause it?
Thank you, Ziv.

 

[acadoid]

@Zivarzi: LectureNotes requests what is called `large heap´ from Android. How much RAM this equals to depends on device and Android version, usually it is 256MB or 512MB.

That LectureNotes consumes more RAM after an Android update is strange, there is no reason for that. Do you have `use larger page cache` enabled in the app's storage settings? If so, disable it, this will help.

Thank you, it worked.
I have a suggestion, a grid aligned coordinate system will be very helpful, i'll be glad if you could add it. Thank you. :good:

Index in UTF-16

Hello acadoid,
I have a problem with bookmarks in PDF. LectureNotes handles chinese characters very well. When "Encode bookmarks as UTF-16" checked, index system works even in exported PDF except in rare case. The bookmark in PDF turns into differnt characters if keyword contains the special chinese characters. These characters have UTF-16 codes of 0x4E00, 0x5100, 0x5800, 0x6900, 0x8000 and 0x9000.
Thanks.

@Tamasaka: I am sorry to hear about the problem. LectureNotes uses a method of Java's String class to get the string in UTF-16, it would rather surprise me if there was a bug in that method. Is the problem generally occurring for 0xXX00 characters, meaning characters whose lower 8 bits are zero, or are there counter examples? What exactly happens for the problematic characters?
