Android Notepad ColorNote FAQ

Q : How do you put a sticky note on the home screen?
A : Goto home screen and long press empty space and choose widget, ColorNote will be there for sticking on page. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpMLF9b2aTQ See this youtube video to learn about the home screen widget.

Q : How come the widget and the alarm and remider functions don't work?
A : If the app is installed on the SD card, your widget, reminder and etc. will not work properly because Android doesn't support them! If you have already moved app to SD card, but you want those features, you have to move it back to device and reboot you phone.

Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - ColorNote - Move to Device

Q : Where are 'Archive' and 'Recycle Bin'?
A : Click 'ColorNote' on top left of the main screen.

Q : I had to reinstall color note and there is an automatic backed up data that was stored but it requires a password and I hadn't set one up in the past. How do I retrieve that information?
A : Try default password '0000' (numbers)

Q: How do you back up the notes?
A: Goto backup screen 'Menu-BackUp' , tap backup button, and enter your master password.

Q: How do you restore backed up data on SD card?
A: Goto backup screen 'Menu -> BackUp -> SD card backup' then you can see list of backup files. Tap backup item you want to restore. Type password that you have set when backup file was created. The password is same as the password for lock notes.

Q: Where is backed up data at?
A: /data/colornote/backup on sdcard (/sdcard/data/colornote/backup)

Q: I forgot my password, how can I change it?
A: Menu -> Settings -> Master Password -> Menu Button-> Clear Password.
!! You will lose current locked notes when you clear password.

Q: I don't remember my password to restore backed up data. Any help?
A: It can't be restored if you don't know the password.

Q: How to move up & down a checklist item?
A: Touch left icon and drag to move it. If drag & drop doesn't work, Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Turn off 'List item drag and drop'

Q: ColorNote is stuck in an "Installing" state. I can not update it or reinstall it.
A: That seems the market app problem. Go to Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications-->Market and clicked on 'clear data' or Go to Settings -> Applications and deinstall the Market update. -> Clear the Market's cache and data. https://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1067233&topic=1100168

  1. Hi. Thanks for the cool app. The latest release makes the colornotes in the notification bar and notification dropdown screen in HTC-incredible have the number of notes and not the notes themselves. I don't like this. You made an options in settings to remove the note number count from the home screen widget... can you also give that options to the notification bar, please? I would rather are all of my notes in the notification bar dropdown than the number of notes I have! Thanks for improving the app!

    1. The Social and Mobile blog is a serviceable platform for mobile phone users. In every latest Android phone eventful and colorful notepad nice feature. I'm also using this beneficial and colorful notepad throughout my online class including note down any specific and principal key points.

  2. I don't see any email address, so I'm writing here. Are you going to add sync support? To have a possibility to sync notes from the Android to the website, google docs, anything?
    this is the only missing feature for me..

  3. Fantastic app. Well done. Ability to categorise and put multiple notes under clour headings would be excellent. Also ability to sync would be a great feature

  5. I deleted a note by accident (meant to only delete one entry). I tried to download the last back up, but it requires a password. I don't remember creating a password for this application. What would it be?
    Great App!

    1. I just did the same thing n about freaked out. Apparently there is about an hr between sync's so.... go to search and type in that specific note/file name. It should bring it up it up if its before the next sync. Cluck on it and u can restore it by going to menu. I would advise putting a lock/password on it so you have to actively look n see what you are doing next time. That's what I just did.

  6. My android Color Notes 1.8.0 does not have a reset master password function in settings. I need to download a previous backed set of colornotes. What password can be used? The default 0000 does not work.

  10. Hi - This is a great app and really useful, but is there anyway to prioritise the entries?
    Also on my ZTE Blade (Orange SF), the red is a rather horrible pink!

  11. I believe this is a bug. Created and pinned a note to the notification bar. I later deleted the note from the app but icon for the pinned note was still on the bar. Pulling down the window shade shows the icon for the pinned note along with the contained text next to it. Selecting the icon takes me to the notes app with a blank note showing "deleted" across the middle. There is no way to clear out the pinned note icon.

  12. for backups, I've never done, but I had to reinstall my phone urgently. After reinstalling, I saw that the data / colornote / backups contains many backups.

    I do not understand how colornote reinstall it. When I go to Menu / Backup, I can only save.
    can any body explain me the way to do this (or simply if it's possible !) ?

    Many thanks !

  19. After updating to android 2.1 colornotes asked to create a password for manual back ups. When using the backup function to reinstall to an older AUTO back up this password was denied.

    I love this app, very usefull, thanx for the great work.
    But now i want to use is on my Galaxy tab as well as on my HTC: how do i share Checklist notes?
    I can copy/paste individual 'normal' notes via email, but the checklist ones will not be copied as checklist.
    How can i do that for a single note?
    I prefer not to import the whole backup (i'm not sure that that is possible btw)

  29. I used the app to replace AK Notepad and really love it.

    The only thing I'm missing is a sync feature. A simple xml file with all the notes posted to a configurable URL would be just great. I could write the backend (web server script) myself.

  30. Hi, I'm a big fan of your app!

    I have a feture request: It would be extremely cool to have notes synched with some internet cloud service so you can edit and manage them from different devices. I think about google task or maybe also with dropbox.

    Thank again for this beautiful app.

  31. Okay, I see many people asking this, but the answers are not working for me. I had to do a hard restore on my Driod. Went back in to backups, entered a master password, had never set up before, and then found my notes, clicked on it to restore it, and it asked for the password. Atemptted to enter it, and it pretty much says no. Also tried "0000" and that did not work either. Any another suggestions?

  32. How can I make a donation? I use ColorNote everyday.

  40. Hello, had to get a new phone and I need to restore my data, 0000 doesn't work and I really don't remember setting a password. Even if I did, how do I retrieve it? I can see my notes and it's really frustrating that I can't get to them.

  41. Same password problem as other comments here. I was running the version of Colornote packaged with my Arhcos 43 Internet Tablet, b ut have "upgraded" to the one from Google Market. 0000 does not work and I urgently need to get my notes back.

    Please, please suggest a solution asap!

    Also, I found that I could not scroll up/down checklists once they were bigger than the screen, scrolling works fine on the home view.

  42. will someone advise what to do ? I just had to perform a hard reset on my droidX and when I went to my marketplace to ???restore my COLORNOTE app, it says that if I download the app then agree it may "modify/delete" SD card info, WILL I LOSE MY NOTES?? I would greatly appreciate any comments, thanks everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  43. so i reinstalled the program, and nothing was restored. is there a comment?

  44. Thanks for this useful app.

    I have a feature request: I would like to be able to view a checklist 2 ways, the custom-sorted view and also a second view with the items that are not crossed off showing at the top of the list. I would like to be able to switch between views and maintain the custom sort order, not revert to alphabetical or some other, less useful view.

    This would be helpful in managing recurring tasks or lists.

    I would like to view the full list when selecting tasks to do this iteration (by removing the strikethrough), and then view the shorter list of those items that need doing so I don't have to scroll through the long list to see them.

    Thanks for your consideration.

  46. 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? Clearing the master password on the newly installed ColorNote app doesn't do anything in terms of helping me restore the old notes. There has to be a way to get these restore files back. Many people are having the same trouble. But there has not been an answer from the developer yet!!!

    Is there away to recover these Notes?

    Thanks,
    Joe

  50. How can I view items in ColorNote that are in recycle bin?

    I noticed that when I delete a note, it is not actually removed "for good", because you can search it even if you have deleted it!

    If you search a deleted item it appears in a 'recycle bin', and there is an option to permanently delete the note, or to restore it.

    This is a great feature, but also I think it is important for user to be able to see all the notes that are "accessible" in recycle bin. Otherwise, we could delete something in hope that the note is no longer seen by anyone else, but somebody could just run a search to see it from recycle bin.

    So, is there a way to see the content of recycle bin without searching?

  51. Also wanted to add that this is the best notes application I've found in Android Market. Really nice work, thank you. :-)

  52. I have been using ColorNote forever and love it, just one small item that I find frustrating. When editing a note, when I tap the screen to position the cursor, the note always jumps either to the bottom or the top of the note...so then (if it's a long note) I have to scroll way up or way down and find where I was in order to continue my editing. Any way to eliminate this jumping all over and have the note stay in one place when I tap to position the cursor...? Just a tip, otherwise, awesome app!

    FYI phone is Dinc, however I had the same issue on my first android phone, original droid.

  53. I have been using ColorNote and I really love it when I'm chopping food. A loooong list and it's just to check each item when I find it ;-)
    BUT for me it should be wonderful if I could make/edit the list in my PC and then send/sync it to my phone !
    Is it possible ???

  57. I'm having the same problem as other people with the current version of Color Notes. I've done some digging and discovered the following:

    In teh past when reinstalling, new phone or reset, everything came back just fine.

    With the current version, the notes are NOT kept in \data\colornotes My old files were in the \backup directory. Moving them into the top did not do anything.

    I uninstalled, deleted the data directory and reinstalled. The directory was not re-created.

    I created a test file, saved, and backed up. Still, no directory.

    It's my belief that that current version is actually storing on internal memory and NOT the SD card.

  58. I recently got a new Samsung Galaxy S. I've already installed ColorNote on it, but is there a way to get my notes from my old myTouch 3G with ColorNote onto the new phone? If there's no plans for sync in the future, should I just migrate the files from the data/colornote/backup folder from one Micro-SD card to another?

    ReplyDelete
  59. Shatter707, I'm having the same problem as you, only I didn't realize it until now. I was looking for the "data/colornote/backup" folder tree on my Samsung Galaxy S (in Bluetooth and by using the microSD to my Mac via an adapter), but it wasn't there. I created it manually once I got the microSD to be readable, but ColorNote didn't see it, and I don't know of any way to get it to see them.

    Without any kind of import or sync option, I don't know how to get all of my old notes from ColorNote on my old phone! Can anyone help or is this a ColorNote flaw?

    ReplyDelete
  60. I cannot open the back up file of the color note installed in the sd card. Message is "No application can perform this action". I am using Samsung Galaxy S I9000. Pls help me to solve the problem. Thanks !

  61. Is there a way to export all the notes "as CSV" or any other format?! Looks fairly simple. How about copying over the backup file locally and then opening it and decrypring it? How is it encrypted? Is the key the "backup password"? Thanks, Mike.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I have the same problem, color note will not see my backup

    ReplyDelete
  63. Brilliant App.

    The only change/fix/addition i would recommend is a "main menu button" to quickly go to the list of all lists.

    When done entering a list, it's necessary to hit the "back button" twice.

    Some mechanism to avoid the unnecessary navigation would be awesome.

    Otherwise I'd vote for not adding too many features. The beauty of this program is it's simplicity.

  65. Welp after messing with this for a bit I figured out my issue with restoring the backup. I was tethered at the time and assumed that I was set to Charge only, well I wasn't and the colornote's can't see the SD card.

    Switch to charge only bingo everything worked just fine. Asa suggestion to the author would be to have it check and report unable to access SD card, I think that will solve a lot of issues.

    Thanks for a great product

  66. As many other users have stated, I am unable to access my backed up notes. I flashed a different ROM to my phone, downloaded the app again, and tried to restore. I've used the master password of four zeros because I never created a password... it says DONE but my list is still blank. I can see the number of notes so I know they are backed up, but the app will not restore them. I wish the dev would stop ignoring us!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Seem to have the same issue loads of people are having with restoring from backup. I reset my phone and reinstalled ColorNote, tried to restore files from backup folder on SD Card and it asks for the old master password which I did not set before, so tried 0000 and it did not work. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

    I had my device upgraded to gingerbread, re-installed color note, copied back my backups from pc, only to find there are no backups at all!
    Then I read the faq about the LOCATION of the backup folder, put it in the right place, and everything is retrieved.
    Thank You!!!!

  70. also had to try to restore backup notes after phone os reinstall. this colornote is horrible at documentation about doing it, but after reading about 4 blogs, i finally got it to restore.
    as long as you can see the .dat and .idx files in the colornote backup folder, you have your notes.
    i had also followed some of the instructions about backup, password, etc, and kept not seeing them. but i finally got it to work.
    here are things that i did.
    1st, tether phone to pc laptop, then find the colornote folder on sdcard on phone, and SAVE A COPY of the file to your computer. in this way, if anything happens, you now have backups in 2 places on different machines!
    most important part is that you have to untether from computer afterwards and then work with your phone.
    uninstall and reinstall the colornote app - in this way, it clears out the password issue.
    after reinstall, then open colornote, then menu button - choose backup, then if it wants password use 0000, and then list finally came up, for me it had backups for many different dates (it stores all notes within 1 day), so i chose a day 3 days ago to get all my notes at that time restored.
    and it finally worked. after about 3hrs of reading stuff. just wish this was easier to figure out.
    but untethering from my computer was my final glitch solved.

  75. I've noticed that several people have asked for directions for backing up and then restoring notes when switching to a new phone. I've received these same directions, but have not found them helpful. Have others found the posted directions actually worked? If not, what steps did you follow that actually worked?

    ReplyDelete
  76. The ability to create checklists is very useful, nice touch being able to grab the left side of an entry and drag it up or down in the list. I like the simple markup format [] for unchecked and [v] for ckecked (similar to TiddlyWiki's checkbox plugin).

    My big frustration is importing and exporting notes. Especially importing - is there a special file extension for lists? When I try to open a list file I edited on my PC, ColorNote ignores the line breaks (I've tried saving to UNIX, PC and Mac flavors of text) and treats my entire list as one item. Exporting is painful if you don't want to send your files out over the Internet. Dropbox upload would be nice, import/export multiple files, give the option to import file as list or plain text file.

  79. STILL NO ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM. What happens when you switch phones? I backed up my notes to my sdcard then tried to open them up on a new phone with ColorNote. None of the passwords worked. Master reset password doesn't work. Nothing. I don't think I even password protected my original Notes from my old phone.

    I have the .dat and .idx files in the /data/colornote/backup directory.

  80. I have data backed up from my Desire HD SD card. Now have EVO 3D, installed Colornote on new phone, copied saved data, it will restore ok but only up to June 2011, I did a manual backup first to make sure I got all notes. Backup file says 34 notes but only 24 restores. Any ideas why anyone ?

  83. Finally got it to work. I uninstalled colornote, re-installed it from the market, opened the program, pressed menu > backup > then selected the bottom one that said "SD Card" and it saw my old ones. Clicked on the newest one and all the notes are back. Phew!!

  89. Hey all with the problem of not being able to retrieve old notes when switching to a new phone here's how I just solved this for myself: First I moved the entire "backup" folder from my external SD card to the phones SD card. When I still couldn't get Color Note to read these files I uninstalled and re-installed. When I opened the app, the FIRST thing I did instead of signing in was hit the SD card backup button which is at the bottom of that first screen, and lo and behold there they all were. So I hope this is just an order-of-operations fix for you guys: move the file, then do the uninstall/re-install, then immediately do the SD backup and see if it helps! Good luck!!

  90. Like others, I had trouble restoring my backed up notes on a new phone. (Samsung Galaxy S3, coming from the OG Droid)

    I copied the files to the correct location (per dev instructions provided in the app notes in the market), and I could see the files, but I could not open them. Neither the password I created (which I had written down, so I felt sure it was right), nor the dev's password, 0000, worked.

    Finally I went back to colornote on the old phone and tried to create a new manual backup. I had to enter my password before it would allow me to back up. First I tried 0000, but that didn't work. I had to give it the one I had written down, proof that I did know the correct password all along, and proof that the dev's restore process has a bug. It doesn't correctly recognize the password. The dev is assuming that all of those who have problems with the restore feature have simply forgotten their password, but that isn't the case.

    I copied the new files to my PC, then to the new phone. Then I was able to get Colornote to do the restore, and recognize the password. I had not disconnected from the PC yet when I did the restore. The notes remained even after I disconnected from the PC.

    While I think this set of steps may help a few others to restore their notes, I do NOT think it's a good solution. Most people need to replace a phone because it isn't working. That would make it impossible to go make a new backup in order to restore it to the new phone.

    In my case, going back to the old phone was barely a solution, because it had been behaving so badly (ghost touch issues). I had tried to open colornote on it a few days ago, and the ghost touch was checking and unchecking things in my lists faster than I could see. But today the phone behaved for long enough that I could make a backup.

    If the dev doesn't provide a more reliable solution than this, I will move to another app, since I can't count on getting the old phone to work when upgrading the next time.

    Perhaps we could have the option of saving our notes in a NON password-protected, CLEAR TEXT format, so that the dev's problems with passwords don't cause us to lose our data.

    Surely we should have the choice?

  91. Agree with previous comments: being able to import checklists from other apps/emails would be a great feature, as would bring able to sort notes into folders for easier management.

  92. My phone had all of its data wiped out somehow. I reinstalled ColorNote and was pleased to see that it had been doing an auto backup to my SD card. My issue is that I can click on the backup files but the only options I get are "View" and "Delete" I do not see a "Restore" option. I would like to make this auto backup be the current data. Am I just missing something? None of the auto backup files are asking me for a password, and I am using version 3.9.11.

  93. I really like ColorNote but Import Export is really missing! It would be a perfect app if i could export my notes and checklists to windows. pls add sync with a PC and export to csv.
    nevermind i'll try to use a virtual android device on windows to export and edit notes! xD
