I don't know if this is kosher or not, so if it's not please let me know promptly.
I use the app "TimeTracker" all the time. Every single day at work. That thing keeps me from getting overtime (and therefore a write-up).
Only a couple of problems with it. Currently it only has the ability to set the week start date on Sunday or Monday. Mine starts Saturday. I know others have posted on the comments for it requesting other start days too.
Second problem is that if you are working past midnight, it keeps those hours on the previous day (i.e. you start work at 11pm on the 2nd and work until 7am on the 3rd. It says you worked 8 hours on the 2nd). This doesn't jive with the way my company keeps track of our time. We are auto clocked out at midnight and then clocked back in. Therefore all hours of a day belong to that physical day.
Unfortunately it appears the developer has abandoned this application. No updates since March and it doesn't look like we'll be hearing anything at all from him in the mean time.
Is it kosher to ask someone else to update this app? It's a free app if that has any thing to do with it. Or create one from the ground up that has this same basic premise?
I so greatly wish for certain features to be updated in this, that I would be more than willing to provide a donation to whomever is able to update this app (or create one from scratch that performs the same basic function).
I have a feeling that it's probably not kosher, but I'm not an expert on this and I really need those updates.
This might be a better received thread if it was posted in the applications forum.

I tired it there with no results, so I deleted that thread and moved it here.
I'll take a look at the app later in the week and see if there is anything I can do to the source. It also appears that the dev is still keeping track of issues according to his google code page
http://code.google.com/p/android-timetracker/
Not sure if he "abandoned" it so much as just hasn't been able to push out an update as of late. Most dev have "real" jobs that they must tend to and develop in their "spare" time.

I've already posted this on the Coreplayer Board at http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3465 but in case they delete it I wanted other people to know about it. Also, the problem I am describing? In the Smartphone version on my Sprint Snap I cannot access my Favorites from within Coreplayer. I changed my name in the Channels listing to "qwerty017" and all of a sudden its saying there are no videos found in the favorites for Youtube. When I change it to anyone else like "kurio" Coreplayer pulls up all of the favorites for them. A simple problem. Or so I thought.
-------------------------
I know you gave me a warning before when I did this but honestly at this point I don't care. I paid for a piece of software expecting to get support when I had problems. With my warning PM you stated you would have support look into my problem and nothing was done until I posted another forum thread 15 days later. When someone from support finally took a look at it he decided to ask me the exact same questions that I had already sent in with the previous tickets. I could be fine with that except for one thing. Even after I answered hit redundant questions I never received anything back. No emails. No replies. Nothing. This is now day 11 since someone finally got back to me and day 28 since I opened the ticket in the first place.
Actually, this entire series of tickets goes all the way back to November 17th which means I have been waiting for support for a problem for over 2 and a half months. Or to be more precise, 82 days.
I have sent in 4 tickets in 82 days. 1 Medium, 1 High, and 2 Urgent, just hoping that someone might be able to actually fix my problem. And nothing.
Medium:
Received a reply almost immediately asking what version of Coreplayer I was using. I responded to the email and never heard back on this ticket until I was sent an email saying it was being closed do to no updates in 24 hours. So I opened another ticket for the exact same problem.
High:
Received an email asking me to uninstall and then reinstall Coreplayer. I responded when I had done that and stated the problem was still there. Received no reply until I received an email stating the ticket was being closed do to it receiving no updates in 24 hours. So I opened a new ticket for the exact same problem.
1st Urgent:
This one is funny. If it didn't show just how bad your Support truly is. I never received any reply. None. I kept it open for 6 days by asking for updates until I received yet another email stating the ticket was being closed do to no ticket updates. Understand that this was open for 6 days and nobody asked me a single question or sent a single email. At this point I was frustrated and made a Forum thread explaining what had happened and asking if Support even existed for this product. It was promptly removed and Betaboy sent a warning PM telling me that he would have support look into my tickets. I never received another word back from Support or Betaboy so I made a new ticket on January 9th. FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!!
2nd Urgent:
I never received anything back from Support until January 25th, 16 days after I had sent it in. And the only reason I received anything from them at that point was because I made yet another forum thread asking Betaboy to look into my ticket. At that point I received one email from support asking me to send them in exactly what was wrong. As I said above I didn't mind as long as someone at least pretended to be trying to help me. I sent him in exactly what the problem was as well as the fact that I was running the latest version of Coreplayer and that I had both tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I had even Hard Reset my device hoping that would fix the problem. After that point I received NOTHING back from Support. It has now been 12 days and I am done with trying to get a reply back from your non-existent Support system.
So yeah. I'm pretty sure I'm about to be banned for not following the rules or something but like I said at the beginning, I DO NOT CARE. I am fed up with your support system and I want others to know just how bad it truly is. I moved onto Coreplayer and bought both the Smartphone and Touchcreen versions when I changed phones for the single reason that I had never had any problems before and I figured that if I did have one at some point it would be fixed. What a fool I was.
Well. It only took 82 days, 3 forum threads, and 4 tickets but at least they finally confirmed it's a bug. Yay? Oh yeah, and it looks like I was banned. lol
Why did they ban you?
i acciddentally brought a wrong version, and it took them a week to sort it out.. after about 8 or so messages and much swearing!

Probably because I broke the forum rules.
werent we suppose to hear news on an updated coreplayer at MWC?
Apparently they've committed to a co-launch with Duke Nuken Forever. I've been waiting for the 'fantastic new version that will solve all of my problems' since I bought it for my Touch HD.
My Touch HD2 is still waiting.
I suspect my Touch HD3 will still be waiting.
They just don't know how to release the damn thing. Adding new features is fun. Releasing is scary. I'm a developer and I manage developers; I know how it goes.
If Kinoma Play had a better UI no-one would care about CorePlayer anymore. I'm pretty much there anyway. In fact I think I'll go see if Kinoma has a new version
I forgot about Kinoma. I'll have to try it out.
I know what you mean about waiting. I've pretty much given up on them ever releasing 2.0.
I know there's a lot of discussion on this topic about the Incredible S but was wondering on the status of root for the Incredible 2(US-Verizon)?
It's my understanding these devices are pretty much the same, with minor changes to the software (ie: branding and bundling). As far as I've seen, my I2 has many of the same characteristics and behaviors (in terms of shell access, temp root, etc) as the IS as far as what I've seen in this forum (I need to dig around more, though). I suspect whatever exploit happens to work on the IS will work on the I2.
Of course, I could be very wrong.
I've been under the same impression. When inc s gets root, so will we.

I cant wait. I want CM7GB like I had n my Eris.
I'm liking sense 2.1. We were all trying to get it to work well on the inc 1 with varying levels of success. I'd like to be able to use titanium to restore over 100 apps and also like to get rid of this stupid amount of verizon bloat. Have you guys ever seen so much bloat!? I thought the inc 1 was bad...

I came from an Eris as well. Was running CM7 on it, and I miss it dearly. Tried switching my I2 to LauncherPro so I could at least have the familiar environment (I have a registration code I paid for because I like it) and when I rebooted to clear running apps and be on just LP, apps started not working right (many would FC on start). Switched back to Sense and rebooted and all was working again. This annoys me greatly.

u sure u got the right version of LPP installed?
i switched out my sense to LPP ( i too have a registration code ) and all was working just fine for me
did u try to swap out ur LPP?
It's not looking too good for us, TeamAndIRC's JCASE spent about 20-30 minutes with my DInc2 and he tweeted his conclusion - "Yes incredible2 is as screwed as incredibleS, possibly worse. Psneuter works, gingerbread didn't (probably can with some work)"
he is out of town atm, gonna try again once he gets back, i really really really want 2.3.4/gtalk on our ffc

I got it straight from the Android market. If I run it after letting Sense start, everything works fine. However, if I don't let Sense start, or start manually, things just break. More than likely there's some service not starting that is launched by Sense that is required for certain things to work properly that ties into the framework. This is the kind of behavior that prompted Google to stop source code early access for partners (they should not be modifying the framework). My goal is to reduce resource usage, not add another layer of resource usage due to a personal preference.
Really, I just want to return to CM. Wasn't perfect on the Eris, but allowed me to do whatever I wanted.

My reply...
I would have to say I'm horribly upset that there isn't a thread or any support for this phone. Yes, there are people who purchased this phone...some because of warranty issues, some because of upgrades (though I would rather wait a while...since there are so many choices coming.), and others because this is their intro to the android world. Why not dedicate the same time and effort you've dedicated to all of the other phones...yes, it may be a challenge, it may even be a waste of time...but for those people out there who want...no need root and global...this phone is a success. Incredible 1 + newer 1ghz processor + 4 inches + global and a little extra = Epic Success (esp. if root was available). So as a consumer, a business man, a member of this great android community...I beg of you DEVs please assist us. We're here and we're waiting. America.
Just saying
There is forum made for this phone as its almost the same as the IS, with some minor differences. There is also no forum for the desire cdma version... Anyhow the devs who don't own this phone ( or DS or any of the new ones) have a hard time testing there creations. We have some devs who don't own it and its extremely hard to accomplish something this way. Furthermore all the devs of the newer phones try to work together for the s-off. Rom development is a completely different story.
The time for the cdma version belongs in this forum also, so I don't really see any problems...

What makes you think no one is working on this phone? As has been pointed out, there are people working on getting forums started here, and there are people getting their hands on these phones and starting to tinker with them (like me). Keep in mind this was JUST released LAST WEEK.
It's not useful to post these kinds of things as they don't really contribute to the discussion for making progress. It takes time and should we get lucky and the IS exploit works on the I2, bonus! Give it time.

Oh I'm sorry...I thought it was okay to post an opinion on a blog...I didn't think anyone would consider it a threat...especially since all of the current comments center around it, and I just elaborated. If you would like to attack people for posting their opinion about a certain situation...maybe you should do on your own site. Last time I checked...this was AMERICA...**** yeah, going to save the m**herf***in world...America...F*** yeah...lick my *Meow* and suck on my b*lls. Lmao...and that's my reply for you. Please and thank you. I don't hate...I just state.
Oh and one more thing...thanks for contributing to the discussion...seeing that your reply to my original post was very useful. Now back to the subject I just browsed Droidforums and notice a Incredible 2 section...I believe in XDA, and have been a ghost member for a while. I know they are working on it, and it was never my intent to come off as a douche. I was just stating an *OPINION*, I'm keeping an eye on the development of the IS and the general post section of the Incredible. I'm alert, and advise all to continue to stay alert...maybe in a week or two, we'll see some results.
Wow. No disrespect... But Americans ARE stupid.... Ok maybe its just you. We all know the i2 is so similar to the IS that discussion for both can take place here. The same thing happened with the milestone/droid thread. Full stop. Can this thread be locked up?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Uhh, the Milestone and Droid were vastly different in the entire bootloader business. This made the threads ENTIRELY different..... For now it's like Droid 2 and Milestone 2. Both are stuck at square 1 with a locked bootloader.
If it's offensive to explain complaints about lack of progress is annoying and ask for patience, then I have no idea how to not be offensive (yeah, I'm a "dumb American") so I'll refrain from posting here anymore.
Hello,
I've been lurking these forums for a while and decided to register. After considering installing a custom ROM on my vivid idly for months, I've decided to go through with it.
I think I've decided I want to use WCX Illuminati, however I've been having trouble with their forums. Every time I go to their website I am greeted with a bulletin stating "Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment..." I've thoroughly searched these forums, and have found that this could indicate one of two things, the board could be closed while Wild Child is uploading a new update, or registration could be closed.
I've been checking the WCX forums 2-3 times daily since Friday, and have still gotten the same bulletin message which casts some doubt on the uploading a new ROM theory, but Google's cache of the site from Friday morning shows that it was running normally then. I've also noticed the the portion of the WCX forum for logging in is working perfectly while the register portion gives the same "Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment..." message, which could mean that registrations are closed.
I figure there are at least a few regulars that come both here and there, so I guess this would be the best place to seek help.
Are there any ways I can get to the WCX site, and if not, What ROMs do you guys recommend?
Thanks.

That thread hasn't any posts in 28 pages of anyone who actually received an over the air update.
OP: your thread I think is a good one.
I have not received an over the air update (which DOESN"T mean "manually downloaded over the internet from a fileserver" but sent to the phone direct from google. Also I don't expect it for several days to a week or so.
A lot of people, including myself, purchased a nexus device specifically because we wish to not have to hassle with manually updating roms and manual updates due to not having the latest operating system on a phone. So we are waiting on google to send it out. Within 2 weeks we will all have it.

My quote to the thread was, actually, for this reason:
Rollouts are conducted in phases. Typically they start at 1% of devices for around 24 - 48 hours; we watch the return rates and resulting device checkins and error reports (if any), and make sure nothing looks wrong before sending it to more. Then typically it goes to 25%, 50%, 100% over the course of a week or two.
What the percentages mean is that when your device checks in, it has a 1% chance (for example) of being offered the OTA. If it doesn't (randomly) get an offer, it will never get an offer until the next batch.
IOW, once your device checks in and gets turned down, that's it until the next batch. Mashing on the "check for updates" button just causes your device to check in again, and get automatically turned down again. Think about how that makes your device feel! WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE PHONES?!
That said, once the new batch does start, hitting that button does give you a new roll of the dice -- but once. Since devices usually only check in for system updates every 24 hours (I think? Certainly on a many-hours basis) this can get you your shot sooner than it would happen on its own.
So, mash away. Just be patient, and mashing on it more often than once or twice a day isn't going to gain you anything.
Edit: also, keep in mind that this isn't first-come/first-served. You're not racing other devices to get your slot in the current batch, or something. -Dan Morrill

So, you just need to wait a bit.
OK. I have seen so many of the "you dumb***, why don't you download the file and root and... like the real people here do" threads that I incorrectly assumed your post was of the same caliber. Obviously I was wrong so my apologies.
Good advice.
I do not think the OTA was even released yet if it was someone somewhere would have gotten it

I for one welcome this thread as I'm waiting for the ota update for my stock unrooted N5, I hope this doesn't mean I'm taken less seriously in the future as we all had to start learning to root somewhere and sometime.
I'm in UK with no update.

As someone in another post said - the update has probably been uploaded, but not officially pushed through to all Nexus 5 users. I'm sure it will happen shortly.
El Daddy has an excellent sticky thread [INFO] Nexus 5 OTA Help-Desk which explains how to sideload an OTA to your stock/unrooted device. This is fully supported method provided by Google themselves. The OTA can be downloaded direct from Google servers and if it was tampered with, it wouldn't pass signature checks.
They have also had engineers explain how their OTA rollouts work, including expected time frames.
What all this means is there's no reason for us to try and reverse engineer this process anymore and therefore this thread's only purpose is chatter that amounts to nothing

First, thanks for reading this post and thanks, in advance, for any input or suggestions.
One of my free themes has made a very drastic rise in downloads. I am a new developer and am having a little difficulty in getting discovered. I was averaging only a 2-10 downloads a day on this particular app. Then about a week or two ago they jumped to 50-70 downloads a day. But, in the past three days I have gotten around 2000 or more, about 650-690 downloads a day. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on things I could try to find out what has caused this dramatic increase. I can't pin point what I may have done differently because I'm constantly trying different things and reaching out along with researching and such. I know the downloads are coming from somewhere, just unsure as to where. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time.

Can't you use Google analytics to find out how the people find your app (like this)? Just for interest sake, what app was it? And why aren't just happy about that, I would love to have such a jump in downloads
Google Analytics, to my understanding, has to be implemented into the apk. Forgive me if that's not correct, it shows how much I actually know. And I am so very happy about my download rise, that is why I'm trying to investigate how this happened so I can do it for my other themes that are currently listed and for future apparently as well.

I would guess after the initial jump you got into the "trending" list on the google play store, giving you exposure to a much larger userbase
