1.5.0 supports Checklist
Latest version crashes when I try to add a ColorNote widget. Get the message:
ReplyDeleteThe application ColorNote (process.com.socialnmobile.dictapps.notepad.color.note) as stopped unexpectedly.
Phone is an HTC Hero.
Any ideas?
After creating a note should the sticky automatically appear on my home screen?
ReplyDeleteYou should add a widget
ReplyDeletethen mark color note
and u will be able to select wich note u want to add to your homescreen.
How do I get back to the "new note" screen? How do I get out of the current note?
ReplyDeleteGreat program! I have just one problem though - how to backup (import/export) my notes?
ReplyDeletegreat program, but everytime i restart the phone (sprint htc hero), the widget turns into a blank white box and i have to remove it and re-add it.
ReplyDeleteany ideas whats going on?
it seems to be related to the same issue experienced with the android picture frame widget and the fact that htc sense is affecting desktop widgets (possibly?)
see http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/24655-android-widget-picture-frame.html
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe app is really great and the addition of a checklist put it way over the top. I would love to see the checklist enhanced in the future to sort, probably not dynamically, but it would be great if at startup the unchecked item floated to the top above the checked items.
I'll also second Dominic above that at restart the widgets go blank. Not sure if you have any control over that, but wanted to add the voice.
Thanks for all the hard work.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI like your Button Shortcut app. Here's a request: Could you add a companion app to hang up the phone? Here's why: On the Motorola Droid, it's very easy to lose track of the call-in-progress screen; a simple tap while you're on a call sends the phone off onto another app. Once that happens, you need to tap: 1) home button, 2) phone app, 3) call in progress, 4) dial pad button, 5) end call; all before you can end the call!
Having your "Button Shortcuts" invoke a "End call in progress" app would solve a major headache. A shortcut to an "End call" app on the home screen would also be a huge win.
Please let me know if you get this message (your blog has no email contact...)
can we get this to sync with google?
ReplyDeleteI have a grey note which says "note does not exist". I cannot delete this note. Any ideas?
ReplyDeletehello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
ReplyDeleteI am also experiencing the same issues as Dominic and Joser when I restart Sprint's HTC Hero. Has there been any resolution to the issue?
ReplyDeleteI am new to Android Just got my new phone. I just down loaded ColorNotes and I really like it. One Question can I sort a list via Alpha rather than priority. I can sort my list of list by alpha but I can't figure out how to sort a list by alpha.
ReplyDeleteHow do you Restore once you've backed up? I reset my phone, and did the backup first, but there is no restore option???
ReplyDeleteWhen you goto backup screen, you can see data list. Click item on the list and enter password that you used before reset.
ReplyDeleteHow do you change the master password?
ReplyDeleteGreat application, I use it a lot. I'm missing the possibility to move item from checklist to another checklist.
ReplyDeleteVerizon Droid. When deleting items within the app, stickies remain on home screen or they turn grey. Any way to make them delete from homescreen when deleting in app?
ReplyDeleteHi - I use this app quite a bit (and really like it!). Following a hard reset the previous data backup items are not visible in the backup screen. Is there a way to make the old backup data visible? The backup points are there, just not visible. Will I be able to recover my notes? I unfortunately have a lot of important data that I didn't save anywhere else . . .
ReplyDeleteThanks for your time.
Can we get an "email note" or "email checklist" feature added to Color Notes? I would love to be able to send and recieve these items with my friends and wife. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteGreat App. I really use it.
ReplyDeleteOne little thing please:
If user don't fill the title of a checklist, draw the first entry of the list into the widget. So the user can always see the topmost entry of the checklist.
Help! Forgot my password...how do I reset or is there a master password I can use to unlock?

I backedup my notes to the sim card and then I reset the phone. Now I don't have a list in the backup screen, to restore. How can I restore the data from the sim card?
ReplyDeleteThanks

This application has the perfect balance of features as a note taking application for my need. Not too heavy not too light.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for making this.
http://hitchedhiker.com/2010/04/11/android-apps-colornote/
Is there a How To guide for this app?
ReplyDeleteHow do you get the individual notes to appear on the home page, like in your example image above (with a pink sticky, a purple one, etc.)? I've checked and triple-checked, and no settings, holding / pressing the pages or anything works at all to do this. Please advise.
ReplyDeleteGot it - use widget on homepage to choose stickies - awesome!
ReplyDeleteI forgot my password too, Can anyone help out?
ReplyDeleteHow do I restore from backup?????
ReplyDeletedoes anyone know how to delet back notes?

Now all I need is a way to sync with my Outlook notes.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of feature requests:
ReplyDelete- In checklists note it would be great to be able to delete all checked notes at once. Imagine a shopping list, once you're done shopping you can one-click clean it up (without deleting the note though).
- When you add new items to a checklist note, you need to manually pop up the keyboard. It would be great if it was already out, saves a touch :)
Phone: HTC Droid
Other than that, thank you for an amazing application :)
D.
Any chance of passwordless backup (ideally into something like an XML or JSON file, or even plain text)?
ReplyDeleteI don't need the encryption, and remembering yet another password is a bit of pain. I could use a text file that I could get off my phone and onto my computer.
Is there any way to import text files or does all content have to be created from within ColorNote? I have so many other memos and Outlook notes that I need to import. Otherwise, would pay big money for this great app. Thanks
ReplyDeletePlease help - I backed up the data, but after resetting my phone the data file does not appear under the backup list. Can someone please help me restore my data?
ReplyDeleteI've got a Nexus One with the latest Froyo 2.2.
ReplyDeleteColorNote does not work correctly now, the scrolling does not work.
Will you be doing a update to fix this. Many thanks.
I am trying to backup Color Notes. I see the backups but I can;t find the files using Astro (file explore utility). I want to ensure the backups are on my SD card as I will be installing Android 2.1 which will wipe all data. I see them if I select backups but I can't find the actual folder containing backups. Where is it?
ReplyDeleteNo comment from Dev on the user issues or questions?
ReplyDeleteI lost all my notes when I needed to reset the phone. Too bad. Would have been nice if it recorded on the SD card instead.
Me too, me too !
ReplyDeleteI backed up my notes and performed a factory reset. Now I can`t restore my notes.
PLeeeease help.
OK everyone I found out about the backup thing. Hope others read this.
ReplyDelete- You can restore them after hard reset. All you need to do is to go to menu->Backup.
Yes, I know, it doesn`t show any of your backups, and instead prompts you to choose a new password. That`s OK. Just do what it says and in the next step you will see your previous backups.
- And, Yes. They are stored in the sdcard. the exact location is /sdcard/data/colornote/backup/
Thanks for the info, Moosa! I didn't have to restore but I wanted to delete the older manual backups and your info was right on! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the "Share" feature. Unfortunately, the "Share>Colornote" was disappointing. My wife also got ColorNote. I expected to be able to "share" my Color Note with her, ie- send my grocery list to her to be able to open in ColorNote to add to the list; collaborating.
ReplyDeleteColorNote should be able to do this. This would make it easier to send a list to each other to complete for whoever gets to the store first.
Hi. I too "lost" my notes prior to the Android backup. I know they are on my SD card (can see the .dat and .idx files per the location above on my computer). However, I still can *not* get them to appear in my notes application on the Droid? What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteLove that tool - but how can I disable the "always on status bar" for my notes?
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm really impressed with Colornote. I keep finding new capabilities that are simply amazing! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteI am a new HTC droid owner, and ColorNote app user. I like the app, and find it very useful. I really like that a phone number in a note can be dialed just by clicking on the hypertext number.
ReplyDeleteI must agree with many of the comments about being able to save to plain text, and sync with Outlook. That feature alone would allow me to throw the old Palm thing away. Anyway, if I could export to plain text, I think I could get them into Outlook.
Additionally, I think it would be grand to have shortcuts for certain common text phrases. For example "%ds" would 'type' the current date. "%ts" would 'type' the current time, and "%dt" would 'type' both. A double percent "%%" would not enter a shortcut, but just the single character. It could be an ON/OFF option under the settings. Other shortcuts would be "http://www." and ".com", as well as user defined ones. How grand that would be.
When viewing a note in the selected (not edit) state, one should be able to left/right swipe to go to the prev/next note. A long tap inside a viewed note should go into edit mode (having to hit the pencil button at the top is not intuitive).
Nice, but the input field for new tasks of the todo-style list is way too small, you won't get reasonable length text into it without scrolling. There's plenty of space around that popup, why not use it?
ReplyDeleteI really like this app. It would be very useful to have the ability to sync notes with the PC, either through outlook, google or colornote.com (if it exists). I love the tool but don't enjoy having to enter all of the text on my handset.
ReplyDeleteI am a new Android and ColorNote user. I put some info in a note and it locked itself. Anyone have an idea how to unlock. I didn't set up a password and it set one by itself?? Any way to get around it?
ReplyDeleteHi there. I'm new to both Android and Color Note. Love them both. :) I have 2 enhancement requests. First, can you add sub folders to the checklist section? For instance, I want a checklist called Groceries, and then under that I want sub sections labeled Safeway, Albertsons, etc...
ReplyDeleteSecond, on my iPhone I was using an app called Green Grocer and it allowed me to shake my device to put the "checked" items at the bottom of the list and the "unchecked" items at the top of the list. Thanx for your consideration and a great app!
I use this application a lot. It does all I need.
ReplyDeletePlease think about adding the option to choose the alarm sound for reminders.
I recently switched phones. And am unable to restore my backed up notes to my new phone. I have the .dat and .idx files in the /data/colornote/backup directory, but ColorNotes asks for my password (presumably the password I set on my old phone) which I don't remember anymore. How can I restore these notes if I don't have the right password?
ReplyDeleteDoes this work on HTC Tattoo?
ReplyDeleteWas using it on Droid and loved it. Got the Droid X and ran into problem. When setting a Reminder, the text on the buttions can't be seen, just the buttions (date, time, etc). Also, couldn't get it to set the reminder correctly. I use Color Note all the time.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, it would be awesome if we could adjust the line height on the To Do type list to use less space.
Thanks again for a great program.
I added a sticky note on my front screen, but when i deleted the note it left a gray square box where it used to be..how can i delete that?
ReplyDeleteHi, I think there's a small bug in the latest version of ColorNote (1.8.0)... When you set a reminder, it shows a message saying something like "Set for X days from now", but the number of days seems to be 1 short. For example, I set one today (Friday) to go off on Monday. It said that the reminder was set to go off in 2 days from now, which to me means Sunday. Unless it said 2 days, 23 hours or something. Anyway, just a small issue, otherwise I love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat app.
ReplyDeleteJust miss a snooze on the reminders and a reccuring reminder possibility.
I am having a problem giving my chklst a heading. I am usimg ver 1.8.0 What am I doing wrong.
ReplyDeleteGreat App...some suggestions:
ReplyDelete1) the ability to send suggestions from the app like most apps on the market!!
2) an option for a smaller UI: There is a lot of wasted space between the lines of the items on a checklist. Having these list as small as the quicknote "text" style pad but still with a checkmark ability is a big wish. It's the ONLY reason I keep looking at other apps.
This "smaller" interface could also apply to the notes when in the "switch view" list form.
I've already set the "small font" option, but that doesn't affect this desired UI.
I see from having to come to the website that I use a number of your apps. That was a nice little find, but I'd still love to be able to send suggestions (not a complainer) via the app from "About" like most apps.
I'll mention some suggestions for consideration that would really blow the other apps out of the water as they have these but just don't have the total package yet either... Ability to do - voice notes, pictures notes, paint notes...and incorporate these into a checklist if desired.

How to restore (import) old notes:
ReplyDeletego to: menu -> backup ->enter same master password as old master password if it asks for new master password -> your saved notes should pop up -> tap the note you'd like to restore(it would replace your present notes with the backup notes being restore). -> Voila!!
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteGreat app!!! Thnx a lot for that. Here some suggestion for future versions:
- Add some option so that it's possible to directly enter "editing" instead of only "viewing" when opening on a note. This saves one additional (and not needed) click.
- Grid view is great, it would be even better (on high-res displays) if there would be options, how many rows & coloums are viewed. Instead of 3 x 4 (on my milestone) 2 x 3 would be great, I think.
Thanx again and BR! :)
Greate application. Is there a user guide? I downloadeded the note pad but can't still figure how to use the password feature to lock. Can you help?
ReplyDeletethank you very much

Okay I am not real tech savvy and this is one of the first apps I downloaded because I wanted a "memopad" and checklist for my Sprint moment. I do like it so far, but I'm concerned I am going to lose all the info I've put in so far. Seems like every time I go to the sprint store they need to "upgrade" and last time I lost all my apps. Is there an easy way to backup? And can I email my "lists" etc..to myself? Would really appreciate help!
ReplyDeleteThanks
How do I reset my password for a specific note?
ReplyDeletehow about a way to attach a text description to the category/colors list?...that way i can remember how i assigned each color.
ReplyDeleteGreat app. Thanks. Willing to opensource that, so additions could be developed further?
ReplyDeleteWish: please, add syncing (e.g. to google docs/gmail) as some sort of backup storage. I could not get to the backup up notes when I had broken phone.
Hi and Help!! i have a Droid X and i by accident deleted my whole todo list! Help.. when i went to backup it asks for a password. i never set one... how do i find out what the password is!
ReplyDeletewhere can i download it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Nice application.
ReplyDeleteI sugest that the reminder option incorporate more options, like a reccuring reminder possibility and to select diferent sounds and vibration. The actual reminder is too short (duration of sound and volume). In noisy locals I loose de reminders.
i have sugestions:
ReplyDeletesend notes to other into the same program: ex. i write a note and send to a friend who have the program and open it in color notes too.
hand drawing notes
the checklist, it must have a list for choose and make a list with the selected checks, for example for shopping.
I put a password on a couple of my notes and now I can't remember it. Anyone know how to retrieve a password in ColorNote?
ReplyDeletePlease respond to meelster@sbcglobal.net
Thanks,
Don
Please Help...I have a Droid X and the only time the reminder will sound is if you open the app. It will not sound on it's own!
ReplyDeletei have a problem with the app. when ever i enter let say a number ie: 14.20 54.75 a vaule right. some weird reason they are hyper links that lunch the phone app and tries to call. But i have few like 9.00 and that does not become a hyper link.
ReplyDeleteBTW i'm on a Nexus one.
I put a password on a couple of my notes and now I can't remember it. Anyone know how to retrieve a password in ColorNote?
ReplyDeleteis there any way that I can easily transfer or migrate my color notes into MS Word 2007? now I have to email the note to myself (merton228@gmail.com) then copy and paste into Word. an easier way would greatly be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI was going to do a factory reset on my phone and backed up using Backup Assistant and Astro. I can not find my notes anywhere. Can you give me some advice where to look? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings dear developers of this widget. There is a small problem. After phone reboot - the widget isn't loaded, instead of it an empty sticky icon!
ReplyDeletePhone htc wildfire with htc sence
After I did all the steps, I STILL cannot unlock my old notes...PLEASE update app so you can either open notes without a password or override the existing passwords...so many on here asked the question with NO answers from Devs...
ReplyDeleteI am a Colornote's user. could you tell me where memodata is saved. for example, fold name at Galaxy S.
ReplyDeletegreat program! but after factory resetting I lost all notes :-( Or are they still on my HTC Desire? if yes, in which folder? how can I get them again?
ReplyDeleteJust started using this app. I'm pretty impressed but like quite a few people I imagine I'm stuck setting up the password feature. I haven't enabled it and yet it prompts me for the current password before I can change it. As I haven't set one up I have no idea what it currently is, is there a default password or am I missing something obvious?
ReplyDeleteI really like this app, but so many people (including myself) have password issues and it is hard to believe that there is no reply from the developer. Since I am unable to open my backed up notes due to a password issue, I might as well switch to a different note app. But I really wish the developer would just fix the issue or respond to all the questions (or both).
ReplyDeleteMee too facing the same problem but no idea to solve it, pls help!
DeleteThanks for sharing nice information about android notepad applications. Mobile Application Development useful for iPhone development and Android Mobile Application Development. Awesome post.
ReplyDeleteDEVELOPER. PASSWORD. PROBLEM. NEEDS FIXING.
ReplyDeletelike all the dozens of other complaints, after a factory reset, i cannot access by backups due to this password problem. please respond to us. in a blog post will do.
DEFAULT PASSWORD FOUND !!!!
ReplyDeleteI just spent 5 mins trying all kinds of possibilities and I hit on the default password and successfully restored my notes ofter a reset :)
It is 0000
That is four zeros!
This is a great app, the only change I would make is the ability to convert a normal note into a checklist.
ReplyDeleteThanks, David! I was able to restore all my backed-up notes from before I factory-reset my HTC Magic/myTouch 3G running 1.6, using the password "0000."
ReplyDeleteThank you again!
how do i download this app? where is the download link?
ReplyDeletewonderful aplication.
ReplyDeleteit would be in the world top ten if you can select old notes and delete them all together, also delete all together the checked items in a check list.
Congratulations
i would pay for this if you added a feature to move items between checklists!
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteWe are working on an Android based device PND at the moment and would like to provide some preload applications to the end user. We like to know whether we can have the opportunity to preload your ColorNote application to our devices.

Thank you!

FINDING BACKUP FILE ON SD CARD: I was frustrated not being able to locate the ColorNote data file on my SD Card, despite getting almost all the way through this list of Comments.
ReplyDeleteI typically just use the "QuickOffice" app that was on my phone natively to review my SD card's content. Turns out that while most everything I need can be seen with that app, the path for ColorNotes can't be seen with it.
Use "Astro File Manager" app instead, free in Android Market, and you'll easily find it within this path: /sdcard/data/colornote/backup/.
I also used the four zeros "0000" and it worked finally. Didn't recover my last few notes but I got most of them.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI recently had to erase my phone and I'm attempting to get the backups back into the device but they won't show inside the notes application. I can view them inside the phones directory. Any thoughts?
I too am having problems with restoring my notes. I have done a complete reset and even re installed the os completely. reinstalled color note 1.6.6 and the latest version 2 and still cannot restore my notes. I have only the one password that i would have setup. I have also tried the 0000 and that did not work. emailed the developer but got no reply. can someone create a step by step guide on how
ReplyDeletethey retrieved their notes. I am selling my phone so I need to get these notes restored
Thank you for having automatic backups! I did a factory reset on my EVO, forgetting to backup my notes. I was able to completely restore - thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteThe 0000is not working for me neuther. Is there another way to restore my notes. Please help.
ReplyDeletehow to download??
ReplyDeleteHy,
ReplyDeleteI love the Colonote app and it's the best notes app ever!! But I've got a problem recently. I updated my Wildfire to Froyo and now, when i want to add new item to the check-list, the pop-up space get so compressed, that i don't see absolutely anything that i'm writing! I have to turn the phone to the landscape view to see normaly. I really hope for an update soon which will resolve this issue!
Found this on another site, hope it helps with some of the password issues.

I've been trying to restore an automatic back up but it will not except my current password or the 0000 password. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteas the sync with microsoft outlook isnt EVERYTHING eg: tasks , I needed a task list this colornote seems to be doing the job but I want it to sync with HTC sync so backed up in my computer like everything else
ReplyDeleteI bought a new phone (Nexus S) and I copied backup files from the old phone to the new one. The problem is that the password doesnt work in the new phone. Why? It still works in the old phone but not in the new one. Any solution?
ReplyDeleteDo you can to do import checklist from SMS or clipboard function in future?
ReplyDeleteThanks for application.
0000 is not working for me and I don't remember creating my own password. Tried emailing developers, no reply. This is more than frustrating since I can actually see that I have a backup but I can't get to it.
ReplyDeleteJust saw your comment Tomas, I also got a new phone, maybe that's the issue. I had to get a replacement of my old one because the touchscreen died on me.
ReplyDeleteLove this app! Would be great to have the option of adding a shortcut via long-press-->Shortcuts instead of widgets. They use less resources and you can customise the icon if you're into theming your phone :)
ReplyDeleteFINALLY! I was able to retrieve my backup! I can't give you step by step directions, because when it finally happened, I couldn't remember EXACTLY what I did, I'm sorry. HOWEVER, I'll tell you that after reading post for JANUARY 18, 2011 by luvmetalhead, I followed his QA instructions to "clear" password. It was after THAT step that, I closed the app, then re-opened app BUT NOT using my shortcut but using the original app icon in my app list, then I went NOT to backup but directly to password, set an easy one, then went to "Backup" and was truly able to restore my backup from last week and they are all there! I'm sorry, if these steps are out of order, I truly just was trying everything and it just finally happened. I want to help you frustrated people, because I was there with ya! I really hopes this gets you where it helps you!
ReplyDeleteI tested 7 note taking apps extensively, and this is by far the best one! Thanks a lot!!! Just two small issues:
ReplyDelete1.) I use the app on a HTC wildfire. When adding a new item to a to-do list, the text box to enter the item text is too narrow, actually the field to enter the text shrinks to a 1mm line because of the field of the three buttons "OK, Delete, Abbrechen" which takes quite a lot of space. This problem might happen because of the resolution of the Wildfire screen, which is not very high. I can still edit the text in landscape format, where the three "OK, Delete, Abbrechen" boxes are not visible while entering text, but it would be really nice to be able to enter text also in portrait format, e.g. by letting the boxes appear only after I finished entering the text. I would highly appreciate an according adjustment.
2.) I'm wondering why in the abovementioned boxes the word "Abbrechen" is in German, while the whole app is in english. A "quit" button would be shorter and would better fit to the remaining text. Just an idea...
If something is not clear, please feel free to contact me on reiner_doraATgmx.at.
Anyway, thanks a lot for this really great app!!!
Great! I was able to restore my notes after following the comment on JANUARY 18, 2011 by luvmetalhead; truly saved me a lot of trouble. What I did was just to go to the ColorNote's Menu and choose the 'backup' option and I keyed in the default '0000' password. It worked for me. If you found that it is not working for you, possibly you can refer to the comment dated JANUARY 18, 2011 by luvmetalhead on how to clear the master password and January 29, 2011 7:20 AM for more information.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIf you're still having problems with the master password after you've cleared it (following all the steps mentioned above): I still got the master password setup and couldn't bypass it as I had cleared the password. I exited and restarted Colornote, then used 0000 to set the master password. It let me in and restored my notes.
ReplyDeleteReally love this widget. Just wish that it had an option to display a sheet (4x3 or whatever) with an option to flip through notes one at a time as in:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.appbrain.com/app/simple-notes/hu.monsta.simplenotes
Would be nice if they could adjust the frequency of backups. A backup every 5 days is too long
ReplyDelete"Q: I forgot my password, how can I change it?
ReplyDeleteA: Menu -> Settings -> Master Password -> Menu Button-> Clear Password. You will lose current locked notes when you clear password!
January 18, 2011 4:53 PM"
This worked, but I did lose my locked notes to which I never set the password for to begin with.
This solution is simply a workaround, and the bug needs to be addressed. Log it in bugzilla and call it a day. I am somewhat confident a computer science student intern created this app.

My issue is a wireless consultant performed a factory reset on my phone but right before she did I had backed up my notes but when I get to my list of backups the manual backup I performed yesterday is not listed.
ReplyDeletePlease : Import checklist Function.
ReplyDeleteGreat, but the input field for new tasks of the check list is way too small, you can't see what you're typing in. There's plenty of space around that popup, why not use it?
ReplyDeleteI've only had this problem since Froyo 2.2 update. I use LauncherProPlus on HTC Wildfire.
I've already emailed you on 24 Feb 2011, with photo of my Colornote screen problem, and you have not got back to me.
First I did the backup and master password thing. I saw nothing! Then I accidentally hit the Search tool at the top (Add Note, clock, magnifying glass - choose this one!). It brought up a list of all my notes. I could then choose one, then hit the Menu key, and choose Restore. I had to do it one by one but I got all my notes back!
ReplyDeleteI am so frustrated with this app right now that if I could give it a minus 10 I would. I have notes that I can't get to because I don't have the password for the auto backup. I NEVER SET A PASSWORD and that 0000 default password is not working. The stupid little password box just shakes after I press OK. I've tried everything from the above without success. I see the developer isn't responding to these post so they are useless.
ReplyDeleteWould be awesome if the widgets could be resized so a bigger widget would allow more 'note area' so more of the note could be read (rather than space around a 1x1 note). i.e. a 3x1 widget would allow 3X as much space to show the note, a 3x3 would have 9X as much space.
ReplyDelete1x1 widgets only leave room for a few words and when I want to sticky the widget on my screen as a reminder I often want to see more of the note that can be shown on a 1x1.
I use this app, and especially the checklist part, for my weekly grocery shopping. I use the same list again every week, I only deselect the items I need at that moment.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to add a long click menu in the checklist so that you can add the number of articles you need? For example, I want 3 cartons of Milk. In edit mode I enter milk. And when I long click milk in checklist mode I get an option to add 1 or to extract 1 (and maybe a third option to delete the item). So when I click add 1 it displays Milk (2), and when I press Add 1 again it displays Milk (3). The return key wil remove the long click menu.
This would be very handy, now I have to edit every item in edit mode.
once after i restore my backup notes~ I lost all my original notes???@o@" what can I do~ please help...
ReplyDeleteRe-posting as the dev doesn't seem to care about us :(
ReplyDeleteGreat app, but the input field for new tasks on the check list is way too small, you can't see what you're typing in. There's plenty of space around that popup, why not use it?
I've only had this problem since Froyo 2.2 update. I use LauncherProPlus on HTC Wildfire.
I've already emailed you on 24 Feb 2011, with photo of my Colornote screen problem, and you have not got back to me.
I join to feature request: IMPORT of check list from SMS/E-mail/clipboard.
ReplyDeleteApp is great!
I'm using the program and it's very, very good. Make a version for Windows that will be very successful too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHello, I just buy new cool Android device and have looking for functional and comfortable CheckList and Notepad software. I have tested already about 30 applications of this type, but... no one don't satisfy me. At my opinion, your ColorNote is the best CheckList and Notepad software for fast use with short information with great potential!
ReplyDeleteI ask you to improve some functions of your wonderful ColorNote!
1. Password behaviour: if any one protect data with password - it's obvious that he don't want to show this information to any one! So, show protected checklists/notes at general(common) list is wrong(incorrect). Also with this type of password protection when user need to open/edit many documents he must enter password for each document - its very uncomfortable. Will be more comfortoble to make "protected groups" - password sets to complete color-group; protected groups hide from genereal (all) list; enter to this group possible only from color-groups chose list; password will be needed to enter only one time when open this group, after that user can work with all documents at this group without needs to enter password every time.
2. Password options: a) hide documents of protected groups from general (all) list? Yes/No; b) Close protected groups when: Leave group / Leave application; c) set-up different passwords for each color-group - it's not problem with method of protection, that I describe below.
3. Password protection: I don't know how it's working now, so I describe the best method - encrypt protected color-groups with strong AES 256/512 when storing at device AND also when making Export to SD card.
4. List filter: there are a lot of place at the top panel of list view (add,sort,search) to add one more button for filter or color-groups change - so user can faster change color-group or make some filters like "Today" or "Notes only".
5. Edit mode and search panel: your ColorNote is designed for small text that can be scroll faster then will be entered search words, so I think there is no really needed to show search panel at top of the screen all the time - better to make open/close search panel via options. Also closing search panel will add 2-3 text lines!
6. Completed tasks: make option to autovatically move all competed tasks to bottom (at one task and at general list also).
7. Size of text and buttons: will be good to add option "Button size follow text size" - so when user chose small text - buttons (at general list, and at checklist edit) will changes accordingly(respectively), also text size better to make one or two more smaller fonts, because for now small font of the general list however a little(rather) big.
8. The next step, I think, is to add photo and audio notes, but I not use them. Also will be greate to add syncronisation with PC (Outlook) and Mac.
Waiting for your answer to PetrVehovec(at)gmail(dot)com!
With best regards!
Hello! I would like to help translating to Polish langueage. If You need some help them pm me.
ReplyDeleteGreat app! I have been using it for a while and it has served my purposes well.
ReplyDeleteI just got the latest version, 3.1.2 and there are a lot of new features, however, I noticed that the item count in list view is no longer there. That was pretty useful for me. Any chance of getting it back?
there was a good day to move an application on SD card
ReplyDeleteNice app! I was using this app for a couple o days and today I tried to use it and I could not.
ReplyDeleteIt does not open at all.

I love this application but recently I dropped my droid x into some water. I have a new phone now and my old sd card is fine. When I reloaded my colornote app it didn't regenerate my notes. I went to data/colornotes and selected the items. I was redirected to the web which displayed a page full of coding. Is there anyway I can salvage my notes? I still have my original phone as well. It turns on but the screen images are next to invisible. Someone please help. Im a musician and my livelihood is in my notes.
ReplyDeleteHello,

A few suggestions to improve your already great app:
ReplyDelete1/ Double sort option(s): I am almost always sorting my lists Alphabetically and THEN by Status. It would be great to do them both at once.
2/ Option to have only a songle line of an entry displayed/previewed in the grid view so 4 entries can be seen instead of usually 2.
3/ When in list edit mode, long-press on an entry could give the option to send that entry to a different list.
(Saves doing all this: edit > select all > cut > delete > other list > edit > new > paste > ok.)
4/ When in list view (not edit) mode it would be useful to delete entries without having to enter edit mode and scroll down to the entry. Perhaps a context menu on long-press of an entry.
Thanks for the app I use it daily!
PLEASE HELP ME I NEED TO GET MY OLD NOTES AND EVERYTIME I ENTER PASSWORD IT DOESNT WORK I NEVER SET A PASSWORD UP BEFORE
ReplyDeleteHi, firstly I want to say what a great app this is. I use it all the time and highly recommend people to use it.
ReplyDeleteI recently upgraded my phone and have been trying to restore my backup without success. I know my password and each time i restore a "DONE" message appears onscreen, but I am returned to an empty colornote.
Does the developer know of this issue and is there a solution or have my notes been lost in SD space forever?
It would be great if anyone knows of a solution to retrieving my notes as there is valuable information there that i need to get to.
please contact me on trickyme@gmail.com if there is any information for me.
thanks in advance
Does anyone know how to restore notes? I have no problem getting past the password part its AFTER that where my problem begins I see my notes I want to restore on my list when I select it and enter my password I get a box saying "done" but then my notes are not actually restored:( what am I missing? I've tried finding my notes through astro filemanager when I click on them in there it says file can not be found...
ReplyDeleteSuper frustrated!!!
Thanks
Okay i found this a few days ago here and now it seems to be gone so here is my take on restoring notes from a old phone to your new phone...
ReplyDelete1.)from old phone go to colornote and backup data, also if you havent already done so create a password.
next connect old phone to your p.c open internal or s/d card and select data there should be a colornote file
2.) copy colornote file to your desktop
disconnect phone and pull s/d card to new phone
3.)(if this is the first time you are installing s/d card to phone you will have to wait for the apps to be installed to new phone) from new phone delete /uninstall colornote from manage apps.
4.) cycle phone off and back on then connect to p.c via usb cable,open both s/d card and internal storage if you have both options.
go to data/ and dag and drop file from desktop to file ( i dropped it in both s/d and internal, as even though colornote claims to use s/d card it doesnt seem to see it)
5.)disconnect from p.c and go to market from New phone and reinstall colornote
just for shitts and giggles cycle phone off and on 1 more time.
Go to colornote menu and select backup /enter password and your old notes should be there along with all the older backups as well.
P.S if backup doesnt seem to save in colornote try another backup selection, I had to go back to one from a few days ago.
I've got the same problem as squareyes and Miss-Liberty. I can see the list of backups (all auto backups) after hitting in the password, but when I click on one of them (and click through the warning that it''l overwrite my current notes) it takes me back to the Workspace, shows a "Done" text overlay at the bottom, but doesn't actually show any notes.
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell me where are you syncing the notes to? IS there an option for me to see my notes online?
ReplyDeleteI was searching for something like that for quite a long time and at last I have found it here. Your blog is better than others because of useful and meaningful posts.android developers

6) paste
I must show my thanks to the writer just for rescuing me from such a crisis. As a result of looking throughout the world-wide-web and seeing thoughts which were not productive, I assumed my entire life was well over. Being alive devoid of the solutions to the difficulties you’ve resolved as a result of your entire site is a serious case, as well as the kind which could have in a negative way affected my entire career if I had not discovered the website. Your personal natural talent and kindness in dealing with almost everything was helpful. I’m not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t come upon such a point like this. I am able to at this point relish my future. Thanks so much for your high quality and effective help. I will not hesitate to propose your web site to any individual who needs to have counseling on this problem. retaining walls brisbane
ReplyDeleteI backed up my notes before I did a Master Reset on my phone, but once I re-downloaded Colornotes, I tried to type in the two only emails I use to recover the notes but none of them work. It just says that the email I put is incorrect for both of them. But I know that's not true because those are the only two emails I use and I've recovered them in the past. I think they might have updated the feature with the email part to recover the notes. But they had a way to recover it in the past. Does anyone know how to recover them the old way?
ReplyDeleteYour post is very appreciable and points described by you are great and helpful. Mine opinion is also in favor for ur great post !

I restored my phone to factory settings, saved the files for backup via drag and drop from my computer and restored them after factory reset...they appear in the back-up restore section but they do not restore because they need a password (which I never picked so it should be the default 0000 and its not)..Ive tried ANY password that I would have picked even though I never selected one and nothing...please help...I really need these files.
ReplyDeleteabout sharing from one phone to the other, send by email using "share", then save that file into a text file on the destination device (make sure the new line are there. copy/paste from the email may put them all in one line. maybe easier from the pc).
ReplyDeletethen just open that .txt file on your phone, and when it asks what to open with, choose colornote.
example content of text file (For list):
[] milk
[] eggs
[] dog food
[] etc

شركة مكافحة حشرات
ReplyDeleteتهتم شركة قمم التميز باعمال الرش والقضاء على الحشرات المنزلية فمهما كانت المعاناة ومهما كانت كمية الحشرات التى تعانى منها فتعاون مع افضل شركة تهتم بهذه الخدمة الان ارخص شركة مكافحة حشرات بالجبيل
الحشرات المنزلية من المشكلات التى تعانى منها البيوت ، وخصوص فى المناطق المرتفعة فيها الحرارة ، وحيث تنشر الحشرات فى المنزل وقد تسبب متاعب كثيرة وأمراض خطيرة .
وللحماية منزلك من الحشرات ومنع دخولها ويمكن ان نطرح بعض النصائح :
*الحرص على النظافة الدائمة للمنزل ،
*التهوية الجيدة لغرف المنزل ودخول أشعة الشمس لقتل الحشرات التى لا ترى إلا بالعين المجردة . مكافحة النمل الابيض بالجبيل
*التخلص من القمامة أول بأول حتى لا تكون عرضه للأنتشار الحشرات .
نتظيف خزانات الطعام وتهويتها جيدة، والتخلص من الفضلات ، وغلق المحكم للبرطمانات للطعام التى تواجد فى خزانة حتى لا تكون مصدر لتسرب الحشرات .
*وضع سلك شبكة صغير الحجم على النوافذ والأبواب ، وسد الثقوب والشقوق بالأسمنت اوجبس ،لكى لا تتسرب الحشرات منها .
*تنظيف الأطباق وأوانى الطعام بعد استعمالها مباشرة ، لأنها قد تسبب فى خروج الحشرات من المكان التى تعيش فيه .
*عدم ترك فضلات الطعام على مائدة الطعام ، وتنظيف بصفة دورية تمنع من أنتشار الحشرات والوقاية منها .
وهناك حشرات متعددة قد تسبب للأنسان أزعاج دائم ومنها : النمل والصراصير والبق والذباب والناموس والفئران .
النمل نوعان * النمل عادى مصدر غذائه فضلات الطعام ويعيش فى ثقوب وشقوق المنزل . شركة مكافحة النمل الابيض بالجبيل
والنمل الأبيض يسمى ( العتة) وهو يحتاج إلى طعام الدائم لكى يبقى على قيد الحياة ، مصدر غذائه السكر (الجلكوز) الموجود فى الخشب ، و المتواجد فى الأبواب والنوافذ والأثاث ، وقد يسبب خطر كبير على منزلك فالنمل الأبيض يعمل ممرات ويقوم بتأسيس بيت له أسفل المنزل ، ويكون دمار بمرور الوقت وأضرار فادحة لايمكن اصلاحها إلا بعد فوات الآوان . شركة رش مبيدات بالجبيل
ويمكن التخلص من النمل الأبيض برش مبيدات كيمائية مخصص لها أثناء بناء الأثاث فى الأرض ، وعند تركيب الأبواب التأكيد من أغلاق جميع الفتحات فى جوانب الباب وألأفضل تركيب الأبواب بالمفاصل وليس بالمواد اللزقة ، وعند شراء الأثاث الضغط على الخشب وتأكد مدى قوتها وعدم أصابتها بالنمل الأبيض .
أما النمل العادى التى يتواجد المطبخ يمكن التخلص منه بقليل من الصودا المخلوطة بالسكر وضعها فى الثقوب والفتحات التى تخرج منها فالنمل يموت فى الحال .
فى خزانة الطعام نضع فيها قليل من القهوة المرة أو الفلفل غير المطحون فهو يخلصك من النمل نهائيا وكذلك الحشرات الأخرى .
