draw and write app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Someone know an app which let me easly write in it (with keyboard) or draw (with stylus or finger)?
Im looking for app more like kingsoft office or polaris than any drawing apps like skitch or sketchbook.
Only working apps i found are skitch and supernote, but in skitch i need to click icon everytime i want to wrote or draw sth and in supernote after making picture, it is fitted to the line.
For me the best would be app where i could draw table and than write inside it. Or sth close to it

Try lectureNotes or Papyrus. Med papyrus vet jag att du kan köpa till text möjligheter.

I tried both but lecture doesnt allow me to use keyboard (physical or touch). In papyrus i need too purchase addon pack for text feature, but i prefer to try first (even illegaly) than if it is what i need i buy it, but without a try it can be waste of money.
However thanks.
Someone knows other apps?

Drawing apps

So I decided I'm gonna go nuts trying every drawing app on the Flyer and see which ones work best. If anybody finds a good one post here. I'll do the same

hi!
I'm thinking about getting a flyer for drawing aswell, have you found any good drawing packages that use the stylus?
Unfortunately I don't believe there are any drawing apps (or any apps of any kind) other than the installed notes application that work with the stylus. The yet unreleased Honeycomb OS update may bring additional stylus integration, don;t know.

I believe this to be true as well. There are no apps that I can find that use the pen natively.
There are two apps in the market if you search "HTC scribe" that will come up though. What they do is produce a full screen image, e.g. lined paper, textured surface, colored background. Clicking on the pen menu button with the pen takes a screenshot of the background which then allows you to use the built-in pen functionality to mark on that background you set up.

Yes just as they said. But you can make your own drawing app. Tell you how. Take a picture of a white piece of paper. Pull it up in your gallery. Take a screenshot with your scribe pen and draw all over it....lol.
LOL I should have clarified. I am on honeycomb. The sketchbook mobile app (I think that's the right one) works great except no pressure sensitivity. You can compenstate by adjusting opacity

Yeah I thought you meant HTC specific apps.
SBM (sketchbook mobile) is about the best that I have seen, but I hate the user interface. Most others are really toys for kids.
Fresco Pro, which i have not tried, has gotten some good reviews.
In fact I see the developer of Fresco Pro was attempting to make it HTC Pen compatible ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209099&page=6) but apparently has given up with lack of help from HTC............
Quill app for lenova tablets works with pressure sensitivity! But has sizing issues

Quill app is pressure sensitive using the HTC stylus or fingers?
Stylus! It works with the fountian pen! I emailed the dev of the app and he already responded. Hopefully it becomes fully functional for us

Best apps since coming over from iPhone...

Ok, here is a list of Apps which I really love so far and think its cool..
-Video wall paper (not an app, and it can only be access via livewall paper): I can put my baby video as a live wallpaper, how cool is that
-Koi Live wall paper
-Widgets!!! Love this, now I dont have to stare at sea of Icons... to name a few (Android Agenda Widget: much better than the stock one) (world weather clock widget)(Silent toggle widget)(Battery widget, tells me the percentage left and one click goes to battery usage)(stock clock + weather, just like how it looks: more than the HTC look and feel)
-Kies (good to be wireless, but I guess iphone will also have wireless now: and no iTunes hated the need to use it for everything and its bloatware slow)
-Financial Calculator (replaces my 9 in 1 calculator)
-Hangping Chinese pro (kinda replaces my qingwen)
-Juice Defender pro (it does help some)
-ringdroid (make my own ring tones for free)
-photo + video vault + quickOffice (kinda replaces my iFiles but not really)
-Root explorer
-smart app protector
-Bloomberg (only app that tells me international indexes)
-Unit Converter (Not free anymore on iPhone, I was grandfather so had a free one)
-Unblock me free (replaces my blue blocks)
-touchPal (I really like this keyboard, its a mix of swype + touch)
-less bloatware when rooting vs jailbreak (sorry, I think the cydia packages were heavy, but lots of FREE apps )
Oh, a trick I found was to subscribe your Holiday calenders on google calendars, then click on the few holidays to add to your OWN calendar. Then when you sync, you will now have all the holidays on your phone. Not sure if there was a better way, but this was so nice..
Please let me know what else i may really like.. love my SGS2 so far..
Thanks nice Info

Swype has been the best for me switching from an iPhone.
if you want to save on battery, stay away from the live wallpapers. I know they look cool but they really murder your battery

Finally a Keyboard with Arrow Keys !
Unless I'm missing something totally obvious.
I can never seem to get that correction flag where it needs to be.

With Swype, just swype from the "Swype" key (bottom-left corner) over to the layout selector key (next one over: SYM or ABC). This will change to a Swype layout with arrow keys, page up/down, select all, home, end, cut-copy-page, etc. It's pretty handy when you need such things. Then just tap the "ABC" key to jump back to the regular Swype layout.
There may be another way to get to the arrow-key layout, but that is just the way I discovered, by mistake.

If you use swype just swype from the swype symbol to the number button right next to it.

The two that I like the most are:
1. Go SMS Pro. Much better than the stock sms program.
2. Zedge. Thousands of ring/text tones and wallpapers.
3. Smart Keyboard Pro. Hands down the best keyboard for android...

what are some good apps for the scribe?

got my new scribe today, and i love it..besides the built in stuff, what other apps utilize the pen?
If you're on Honeycomb try Quill. Also there is the Sketchbook app (from AutoCad, I think) but you can use pro with Honeycomb.

great! thanks! gonna check them out now.. and yup I'm on honeycomb

Quill is definitely the way to go if you wanna take hand-written notes. Much better then the stock app. The writing is really natural =)
I just got my Scribe a few days ago and am looking for some good apps too. Sketchbook Pro is really good. I haven't tried Quill though. I wonder what else is out there
just used sketchbook and it rocks. is quill worth the dollar? lol. i like the built in pen menu on htc notes app... does quill allow you to use that too?

Once you're on Honeycomb, all apps support the Scribe. That's aprt of the reason Honeycomb rocks on the Flyer.
That said, here are a couple that benefit from the scribe:
Fresco - a painting program with pressure sensitivity
Drawing Pad - a simple drawing program for children
Citrix Receiver - a front-end for Citrix based virtual machines and applications. When connecting to a Windows 7 VM it's nice to have the stylus' fine selection point.
Quill is worth the dollar. I have been jumping back and forth between the stock app and quill to take notes and it's night and day for me. Quill seems more accurate and has more options.
I also heard there was a game "what the doodle" that worked well with the flyer/pen but I haven't tried that.
I do a lot of note-taking and idea-sketching for work. Quill is definitely worth $1. I have tried it and its pretty nice. But, found one that I actually like better, WritePad Stylus. (You can search for it in the Market.)
Quill, Writepad Stylus, Lecture Notes are all very good for note-taking. To quickly jot stuff down, I like Whiteboard Pro (was free on Amazon the other day). Foxit is my favorite for pdf annotations. I wish someone could port MyScript Stylus (universal stylus input) from the Lenovo app store. That would be a killer app!
howcome nobody liked the stock htc app for quick note taking? i think it's cool that it's evernote. for example, when I was in sketchpad and i hit the pen green button, it didn't bring up pen settings.. only, take a screen shot, notes, etc. that's what I mean. In quill or something, when I hit that, will my diff choices of pens, colors, sizes etc come up?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
getting writepad now..some people say it's better than quill on the reviews
ugh, here's why i don't like it though. you can't hit the green pen button to bring up different choices of pens.
and it just crashed my flyer lol
------
trying quil.. btw, apparnetly quill is on sale, only 49 cents.
I'm pretty sure the only app that will use the green button to select pen styles is the built in HTC app.
All the 3rd party apps use their own pen selection methods
gothca.
i'm liking quill a lot, and for 49 cents, that's a deal
Check out trace too. It lets you load an image then trace it then remove the image

If you could suppress the keyboard I'd have no issues with the stock app. I like it better than Quill in terms of its support of the erase button on our pens and the fact that, since it's not vector based, you can erase in a more natural way (Quill forces you to erase entire lines).
However, every time I use the built-in notes app, the keyboard pops up almost as soon as I start writing. It only seems to enable palm rejection after you've started writing with the pen.

MyScript has already been ported. Check it out here. It's my favourite note taking app at the moment, but not for drawing (didn't even try it in that way). The only think I dislike is that it only let's you export one page of your notes at a time (at least in handwritten notes). Enjoy!

same problem here. my kb always pops up. so annoying.

Hmm, that is Notesmobile and FlexT9, not MyScript Stylus.
Thank you anyway.

Floating Memo / Text app or widget?

So I'm looking for an app, much in line with overskreen, or air terminal in it's execution, but all it needs to do is let me take notes in it, a tabbed interface would be great, and ability to save would also be great, but honestly I don't even need that. Just need a simple floating window that allows me to type some quick notes in it. Or paste some text in there so I can view it from another app.
I could probably use overskreen for this, but it just seems like overkill to have a floating browser as a text pad. I didn't find any on the Store, but I did find an app called "Floating Widgets" ( or something very similar to that name ) which basically allows you to take most widgets and make them 'stay on top' ( ie. float ). This would work great I'm thinking with a note widget for memos. The only problem is all the memo widgets I saw and tried( free ones anyways ) didn't seem to allow direct typing in the widget, they opened some kind of editor and then saved to the widget when you exited. This defeats the reason of having a floating memo widget lol.
So anyone know of either A.) An existing widget that does this, floats, etc... B.) A normal widget that allows direct typing in the widget itself instead of opening some kind of proxy app? or C.) Some other solution other than using a browser?
If I can't find anything I'm just going to use AirTerm in a Vim session to accomplish it. I love Vi but was hoping there was something already out to do this.

Yes I know I'm bumping an old thread but this is #1 in the Google search results. I am looking for exactly this. Since quite some time and many androids have passed along, wondering if anyone ever made this app?

Any drawing apps?

Hey eveyone. I am a dreadful drawer and would love to improve. This tablet is very pen orientated so I thought I shoukd ask if anyone knows of any good drawing apps? Thanks!
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
Autodesk sketchbook pro for galaxy note - think the tablet comes with a link to download/install it directly for free
Yep, comes with it. Doesn't say pro in the title, but it's all the same features slightly rearranged. It's good. If you open up the apps screen, then click on "Galaxy", it should pop up a couple different apps. Almost all of them are just links to install. Sketchbook for Galaxy is what you are after. Click it, install it, and have fun!
