Dear MyOwnNotes Users,

due to lack of time on my part, the development progress of this app is more slow going than I anticipated. I am sorry about that! As I am doing this in my spare time, in between working and studying, and the time and effort I have to put into studying this semester is way higher then I expected, I am not able to do as much work here as I would like to. Again, I'm really sorry about this. This does NOT mean, that the app-development is dead. I am still working on it, but just not as much as I used to. And, as I'm ATM working on a big update that basically means rewriting the app from scratch, there is not much happening for you to see - but don't take this as a "nothing is happening"! When I'm done, many of the issues that have been reported will be fixed. So I have to ask you to be patient. I know, that's not what you want to hear but it's all i can give you right now.

Cheers, steppenhahn

FAQ

What's it with "Installing ownCloud Notes app: No app name specified"?

the app name as specified in info.xml of the notes app was not exactly the same as the directory name I was using for the app. This happens a lot when unzipping the file downloaded from github. Just rename notes-x.x to notes.

How do I get ownCloud?

There are many resources on the internet, showing you how to run your own copy of ownCloud. The following article provides a quick roundup: https://blog.entwicklerbier.org/2014/06/setting-up-owncloud-on-speed/

I get a JSON error - what do I do?

In ownCloud 7.0.2 the Notes App is not installed by default. You have to install and activate it. Try this and if you still get the error please submit a ticket.

I can't connect. Do I really have to use SSL/TLS?

Short answer: yes. Please read our comment on Entwicklerbier.org for more information.

I can't connect via SSL. How do I add (self-signed) certificates?

Use the android Security Settings to add self-signed certificates. Open your Settings, browse to Security and add them there. You can find more information on our My Own Notes Website and at google dev.

If you still need help, feel free to contact us. Please be aware that this mailadress changes as we want to keep spam to a minimum and that it may take a while for us to help out.

I heard you don't support ownCloud's encryption app. Is this true?

Since ownCloud 7.0.4, MyOwnNotes is working with the encryption plugin enabled. However, please look at our blog entry about ownCloud's encryption app and at our comment in issue #9392

Do you know any cheap SSL certificates?

If you don't want to use self-signed certificates you can get one for free (for non-profit purposes only) at StartSSL. If you can spend money, we suggest you to take a look at CheapSSLsecurity. Please note that we are not affiliated with those companies in any way. We just want to help you finding cheap certificates.

I have my own certificate. However, it is not working.

One of the most common errors is a wrong certificate chain. Please use SSL Labs to check if your certificate chain is in order. If it isn't look up the manual of your webserver. We also wrote an article for Setting up owncloud on Speed.

I want to move my certificate to a custom folder

Moving certificates can be tedious and insecure, depending on your selinux settings. We do not recommend you to move your certificates. If you really must, github user eephyne documented a way to achieve this: Moving Certificates Oh, and by the way: in contrary to others, we think it's really stupid to disable selinux. Only disable for testing purposes.
