Gapata, the guy behind the Torch app port, is back with a new one: the great looking notes app from the new G900 and G700 phones is now available for P990, P1, M600, W950 and W960.
Edit: dark_skeleton came to the rescue (again), and released this installer, although it requires swmail´s sis installer mod to work (dev cert/open signed does not work). He also released this patch to make both the old and the new notes aplication share the same database, thus alowing backup with PC Suite/Outlook/MobilePhoneExplorer.
Note: if you used the original package provided by gapata before, i suggest that manualy deleting all the files copied to C drive before using the new optimized installer.

hmm interesting, I’ll have to get this and check it out, I use the notes feature a lot on my P1i.
June 4th, 2008 @9:07 pm
good stuff man,,,
June 4th, 2008 @9:43 pm
Yeah, soon we M600i users will have a completely renewed system without having a SE firmwareupdate
June 4th, 2008 @9:50 pm
acording to esato forum the torch has to be signed by a real dev-cert and NOT open signed. http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=167558&start=210
This will apply to this one too or not?
Perhaps you should mention in the blogentry.

i just tried to install this app on my p1 and installer says it’s already installed… any ideas why and how to install it?
June 4th, 2008 @9:53 pm
Nice too see what they can do with these files…
June 4th, 2008 @10:18 pm
I think the problem is you must sign this file first…, Ares could you explain it to us how we can sign this file?
Thanks a lot!

I have signed it (with developer certificate, not open-sis) and I also get the message on my W960i that it’s already installed, while I’m sure it isn’t.
I guess it’s because we already have a Notes application? We cannot install that one though.
Any thoughts?
June 4th, 2008 @10:28 pm
Yep, it says
…it’s already installed…
on my phone too…
btw I signed the app before installing.
Guess we’ll need to go the hard way.
June 4th, 2008 @10:33 pm
installed on my M600i. now I have two Notes apps
This one is quite handy. Thank you, ares!
June 4th, 2008 @10:43 pm
soon we might be able to see a sis package from moherowy..
cheers…

I have the SIS installer mod and I managed - without problem - to install the G900 Note. The new application is amazing but there is a little conflict with the traditional note app. If the G900 Note runs in the background and a I try to open the traditional note app then the G900 Note appears. If the G900 note is closed and I try to open the traditional note app, then I get an error message Jotter/STRING_r_jotter_/167
June 4th, 2008 @10:48 pm
great great great, I had install it with a manually way..cool!!!
June 4th, 2008 @11:00 pm
Oooh, very nice and it imported all my old note
June 4th, 2008 @11:01 pm
I keep notes as a shotcut on the top line on my P1i,
if i return to the app without closing it beforehand i get the error message “in use” so I need to be actually be opening the app every time I want to use it and be sure to close it down every time I’m done using it. Slightly annoying conflict with the original app but still well worth installing. Maybe a restart of the phone will help.
June 4th, 2008 @11:03 pm
….can’t sign it….sigh !
June 4th, 2008 @11:09 pm
:quote:Yep, it says

Same here. I have W950i.
June 4th, 2008 @11:51 pm
adox, choose the other notes app…you are choosing the wrong one…
June 5th, 2008 @12:09 am
i am pretty sure I’m not ares, I replaced the shortcut ofcourse
thanks anyway ares, anymore help would be appreciated though
June 5th, 2008 @12:11 am
Why?
If the G900 note is closed and I try to open the traditional note app, then I get an error message Jotter/STRING_r_jotter_/167
June 5th, 2008 @12:16 am
I experience the same bug “in use” as ADOX. The restart will not help…I’ve tried it. I think that the problem is the coexistance of the two note apps.
June 5th, 2008 @12:21 am
Guys…again…run the new notes app, for the first time. Then minimize it. Then when you choose one of the notes apps from the programs menu it says “in use” - right, happens to me. But…if you choose the other one, it will work. I tested it, and it works.
June 5th, 2008 @12:30 am
aah, I get it now ares, thanks
start the new one or using autoexecutor or bootman have it begin at boot up would be best
DON’T replace the shortcut
use the old shortcut but it brings up the new notes app. Great I LOVE it now. Thanks Again ares you rule.
June 5th, 2008 @12:32 am
it works fine to my p1i.you should closed(debug) to prevent any problems.thanks for hacking..UIQ RULEZZZZZ!!!
June 5th, 2008 @12:43 am
HOPE THE FISH TANK APPLICATION FROM X1 WILL ALSO HACK AND PUT ON P1i…UIQ RULEEEZZZZ….
June 5th, 2008 @12:57 am
ohh so sad that the sis-installer also says it’s already installed on my M600. Waiting for a new one
June 5th, 2008 @7:10 am
Man, you guys rock!, you just made my day one more time…

June 5th, 2008 @1:23 pm

June 5th, 2008 @1:28 pm
INSTALL SERVER AXE..I WILL CORRECT MY PREV. NOTE. COPY IT TO YOUR SYS/BIN. IN C SYSTEM OF YOUR PHONE.RESTART AND YOU CAN NOW INSTALL ALL UNSIGNED APP. YOU SHOULD PERFORM A SYSTEM HACK TO ACCESS TO SYS. UIQ RULEEEZZZZ!!!!THANKS TO SWMAIL FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE!!!
June 5th, 2008 @6:25 pm
I copied the installserver.exe in sys/bin and restart my phone but i cant install unsigned app..any suggestions? my phone is w960i
June 5th, 2008 @11:25 pm
@gnolay
copy to c:\sys\bin
kindly double check
June 6th, 2008 @12:31 am
yes, it has to be on C, not on D
i updated the article with new installer form dark skeleton
June 6th, 2008 @3:57 am
i was forced to go ahead in traditional way and istal it with my bare hands
it faces same problem as you have mentioned if i start the old applcation first after a fresh startup. so i made a rull and that is it : start the new note befor you start anything else after a restart. ( i set the autoexecuter to do that for me )
June 6th, 2008 @5:25 am
it doesn’t work at all. Old Notes get false names, program crashes when browsing notes. Tried to start the app as mentioned above, but no luck. Synchronizing the notes with Outlook 2007 via PC-Suite is not possible (Synchronizing is starting bu nothing happens). Worst thing is, I am not able to use the old Note app it crashes with error message “Jotter/STRING_r_jotter_/167″. I deinstalled the new version, but still old Notes apps crashes.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this?
June 6th, 2008 @7:51 am
ares,
Saw your comments using MobilePhoneExplorer to backup Notes.
Is it possible now?
June 6th, 2008 @8:50 am
Rapo, if you don figure wats wrong, you can format c via service menu, and all will return to normal. But in my p1 its all fine, and notes do sync.
Joe, yes. Install mpe plus the latest debugupdate.exe, and notes are supported
June 6th, 2008 @9:48 am
Ares,
Sweet. but I tried searching at mysymbian & MPE forum, no luck finding latest debugupdate.exe
Can u provide a link to download it?
Thanks!
June 6th, 2008 @9:54 pm
hi ARES!in my g900 notes i try the alarm features with the note.but why is it that when the phone alarm it doesnt display the alarming note?im using p1i.is this normal?
June 6th, 2008 @10:31 pm
I thought I was pretty computer literate but I’m obviously wrong! Going through the various links here it seems every time I think I’ve cracked installing G900 notes I need another program: Notes installer - Installer mod - CapsSwitch - Hack_Perms - Carbide ++ (Isn’t that the full name for C? If so, I’m getting way out of my depth!)
Can someone please explain in easy to follow steps how to access the Sys folder since that seems to be the key to it all?
Many thanks, Jejoma
June 7th, 2008 @12:40 am
its hard to have access to system folders..it’s quite complicated
June 7th, 2008 @1:18 am
having access to your phones c:sys to have all of this wonderful application is not that hard.you cannot use capswitch if you didnt hack your system first.all you need is a pc and a hackpack!!!use google or this site.you can learn more!!UIQ RULEEEZZZZ!!!!
June 7th, 2008 @1:19 am

June 8th, 2008 @3:48 pm
hi ARES,how about if i will just uninstall the prev. application by gapata?and install your new note application?
June 9th, 2008 @11:18 am
Hi Ares,
new optimized alarm is not working!!
June 9th, 2008 @6:26 pm
Hei!
Nokon som kan forklare korleis ein skal installere post-it og lampe på norsk ?
June 9th, 2008 @7:19 pm
Br,
Du skal nok have fat i “Nipsen”, som også poster her. Han er fra Norge.
In English;
He wants to know how to install the notes and flash applications in Norwegian. Nipsen can probably help(?)
June 12th, 2008 @9:46 pm
Hei Michell Bak!
Veit du korleis få tak i “Nipsen” ?
Do you know how to contact “Nipsen” ?
June 13th, 2008 @7:48 pm
The sis installer is much more convenient! Thanks
July 5th, 2008 @5:58 pm
this is excellent - how do you sync the new notes app with Outlook notes?
July 5th, 2008 @6:08 pm
Opps just found the answer - I had to install the patch version. Sorted - This is the best. You can keep the iphone stuff. Thanks
July 10th, 2008 @10:29 pm
I’ve found that I can only sync from a clean reboot. Once I have run the new Notes sync will start but not progress. ie, nothing ever appears on the green progress bar.
Is this normal?
July 15th, 2008 @1:17 am
Cool interface but renders the original Notes app useless. Getting the Jotter/STRING_r_jotter_/167 error too. I guess there’s bound to be a price to pay with certain mods. Anyhoo, I have a question that will hopefully get answered. Does P1i generate crash dumps? I have latest firmware R9K009, BTW. When I try to view old notes, I see a pop-up saying a dumpfile has been created, and then the app closes. But I couldn’t find anything resembling a dumpfile (I have CapSwitch turned off so I can browse protected folders). Where are crash dumps located, if ever they were created? Thanks!
September 2nd, 2008 @3:25 pm
Wow awesome man. It works perfectly for me. ^_^
November 17th, 2008 @2:51 pm
If you have a shortcut on your desktop that opens the original Jotter app and you install the new G900 Notes app after, you can still access the original app from the shortcut.
