Flickr Droid - (Now with Upload & xda-dev price special!)

Flickr Droid: Keeping your Dream looking fresh.
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has used Flickr Droid on here?
Homepage: http://dazbradbury.googlepages.com/
Cryket link: http://www.cyrket.com/package/backgroundflicker.app
Twitter: http://twitter.com/dazbradbury
I'm looking to see if people want to collaborate, so that when they upload nice G1/Magic wallpapers to Flickr, they tag them with a unique name...
That way, I can set the default tag in Flickr Droid, and anyone using the app can set-up the auto-update feature so new images posted with the tag get automatically pushed to the phone... keeping it looking fresh!
Any takers, let me know!
Cheers,
Daz.
ps. I know the app costs 50p, but to be honest, I'm really looking to just get my developers fee back. Seriously strapped for cash? Check out post 8 for an xda-dev special!

OK, seeing as there is little interest here, anyone like the idea of scrapping the viewer/gallery, and releasing a free background wallpaper changer based on the same concept?
If it's straight forward enough, then I suppose it would make a good "lite" version.
Feedback/Requests would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Daz.

Serious design change, much more usable.
Only had positive feedback so far... would love people to give it a go, and with free refunds, why not?

Hey guys, just a quick update to say I've made a few changes behind the scenes, but also added auto-correction to the search field.
Hope you like it!
Daz.

ps. Trial now available.

Ok, for those of you who would love to see a free version, and genuinely like the product, but are seriously strapped for cash... Go buy Flickr Droid. Leave a review, and sign it with the name used in your google checkout account. PM me here on xda, and I'll refund you the money! How does that sound?!

Just updated the background updater. Should be much more precise now. You set a poll time, and the app will check for new images exactly in the next however many hours/days set, repeatedly. Perfect!

I dont know anything about this app but because you are willing to offer it for free to those in need I will at least go buy it and give it a try.

Cheers Branden, what did you think? Making pretty frequent updates at the moment, so any recommendations and I'll get onto them!

Updated a fair few things... Check out the website for more info:

Great App!
But One Suggestion Can You Make The Wallpaper Update Daily? Like Everyday A New Wallpaper? Or Is That Already There And I'm Missing It?

Thanks!
Basically, you can set the auto-update to check for a new image every day. Just go to the settings menu, set the poll time to 1 day, and hit OK.
Whether this actually updates your wallpaper or not depends on your search. The app will check Flickr once a day, see if any new images match your search, and if so, update the wallpaper.
If you can suggest a better method, let me know and I'll code it in in the next update!
Cheers,
Daz.

Just an update, the full version now has a setting for a random image. Thus ensuring the image is updated...!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518981

Just updated the look, and usability of the program a fair bit... Hope you like it!

Another big design change, also improved rotation compatibility.
Think this will be my last big change for a week or so...
Cheers,
Daz.

There's no reason that the search terms should be hidden in a menu.

Just added a search box on the main screen (with an option to turn it off!).
I feel the app is finally at a pretty good stage.
Please let me know if you're having any problems...

Great app but one thing i dont like is that when it updates pictures they come out blurry as a wallpaper.

Could you elaborate? The app actually downloads the image at full resolution before setting it as a wallpaper. The image you see is the full res image as on flickr, which normally is much higher than the res of the phone...
Maybe there is a bug I can't find. If you could give a photo (or search criteria) as an example, I'll take a look!
Cheers,
Daz.

[APP] Tip calculator... yea i know its been done 4 million times before

**UPDATE*
See the bottom of this post for XAP
**
g'day all.
I'm currently writing a quick tip calculator for WP7, i know there are billions of them but there arent many free apps on wp7 yet with everyone trying to make some money and i wanted to release something quick, easy and free just to check out how much hassle the approval process is and see how long it takes MS to get something out once submitted
I wanted to keep it in styling with WP7 as much as possible, let me know what you think

**UPDATE**
Evening guys, finally getting off my lazy ass and submitting this ( year 5 months later and yes I'm aware no one cares about tip calculators ) but I just wanted to give it out here first see if anyone wants to give it a go and make any suggestions and whats broken or what would be better. I designed it because tip apps are everywhere but they always look like ass. Whilst they are always going to be rubbish , you might aswell have one which fits the WP7 metro theme... and the name tip metro, I'd like it changes, so suggestions please !

This is a great design. A very unique take on the function. Great work!
BTW, how did you get the image?

Thanks for the kind words.
The image was just found on google when searching for windows 7 phone. its just the stock one also use in the emulator. Then added my app front end image and then skewed at an angle.

Looks really nice and refreshing from some of the apps that don't look like they belong in the metro UI. Good Job!

With 90+ tip calc apps on the marketplace... I cannot find your app!! Please help!! The interface looks awesome!!
What is the icon I am looking for on marketplace? Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed response.
I intend to have this fully released on the marketplace ( for free ) soon.
If it takes too long to go through approval ill host the .xap and distribute it here for you and anyone else who wants it

Bump magic Bump.... new info in main post

Hiii
Looking a nice design

Design makes a difference!
I really like the use of the panorama here. This app is a perfect example of how the use of a simple control change the perceived quality and the functionality of an app.
Liking it so far!

Also really like it. Clean, simple, and easy to use. Great work!

Thanks for the nice comments guys, apologies for the delayed response.
when it's fully finished ( still a few small issues ) ill put the XAP here but an Ad supported one will hit the market place. I have just been really lazy at getting it finished

Iphone App Review And Ipad App Review
Tip Calculator for iPhone was designed exclusively for the finger tap user interface of the iPhone. It’s fun to use and quick to download. thanx for sharing the great information,,,, great work done,,,,,,,

AndChat IRC on Xoom

I'm the developer of AndChat and am working on getting AndChat optimized for Honeycomb. I'm looking for users willing to download the beta and give feedback for things like UI issues, Honeycomb specific bugs, crashes, etc.

so far so good with this beta. Used it for about 45min with no issues. would like to see copy/paste embedded. Although when tryin to dl a file it wouldn't connect to receive it via dcc send.

Installed on my Xoom. Works well, would like to be able to see the list of people in the channel on the right hand side when in landscape mode instead of in its own window. Will live without that feature Will report any specific bugs that I can see, none so far.

My initial impression was it's beautiful. Will use for a while and report back. Great job

The view used to display the text (TextView) doesn't support c&p which is a huge shame. DCC support isn't implemented AndChat.

Thanks for testing and the feedback so far. The 1 apk is for phone & tablet so if you install it on your phone and notice anything funky, let me know.

I will put it to good use..i normally use androirc but I would love to help out. Will post any issues

I downloaded the android SDK a while back so I updated it and started looking into the new API and stuff. The framework you are talking about to put the people list on the side doesn't sound too scary
Waiting for some books to hit the shelves before I start tinkering around

Love this app no problems

I've had a look at some example code and you're right, it isn't too bad. I will work to make it even more compatible with Honeycomb in the future.

Been using for a few days and has been working flawlessly. I would like to see an option to have users in the channel on the right side like PC programs. there is enough screen width to do this without sacrificing the chat.
Also it might be me but I could not find a way to auto login to a channel.

Oh, I definitely plan on adding that. Here is a screenshot of the progress so far:
It's very buggy and crashy in its current state, developing on the slow emulator is a huge pain

User list looks good. Can we adjust the font in a future release and also long pressing on a name would ideally bring up options such as ban kick op msg etc. Nice work so far!

I'm new to AndChat and it's quickly becoming my favorite IRC client. How does one auto-join multiple channels on that one-liner? Do we separate by commas or just space? I currently use the auto execute line and add /join for each channel.

Looks nice hopefully we can move the list to the left on final release.

Hmm an option for left or right then ;-)

this is not my app, but i never saw it here and a search didnt pop it up, so maybe some of you dont know it. i dont see why ms would bann it, but yeah, if you interrested in the story check his website:
http://smartypantscoding.com/R_I_P_-Imagewind-for-Windows-Phone
but i love the app!
design is perfect
function is always good to kill some minutes
basicly it will show you all pictures that are posted on twitter at the moment.
it does that with sleek animations and you can always digg deeper into the content.
where the picture can be viewed like you would want it on a touchscreen.
one more time i have to say, awesome design!
not like those "i just started programming 99cent apps"
this is really worth checking out, only available via xap sideload...
download here:
http://imagewind.net/wp7/
also dont miss the silverlight webapp over here:
http://imagewind.net/
awesome stuff!!!​

this is cool! thanks. i dont like twitter but i like this haha

oh good i've found it, thanks! works perffect!

app slowed to a crawl
Have been using this app for around a month now and i must say its great fun, almost hypnotic. However yesterday the picture generation started to run slowly, then crawl, now it takes around 5 mins per line to populate.
So has anyone else experienced this behaviour from the app? does anybody know if the development is still going with the app or if there is a newer version than the one posted here?
FYI i have uninstalled the app and reinstalled to no avail and i have tried to contact the developer via the web page comments section but the Capture window does not work and so i cannot leave a comment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Creamy

I can't download the xap file.

There you go:

OK so I have no idea if SmartyPantsCoding is still supporting this, but the app has slowed down because it can't see most of the image URLs on twitter anymore.
Twitter has started shortening ALL URLs on it's service automatically using the t.co service. This means the app cant search the timeline for items with pictures in them (at least not without some re-coding) tho for some unknown reason, tweetphoto links still work. These might be the only links twitter doesn't shorten.
This sucks for us who liked the phone app (and the website imagewind.net) but it means Twitter can now get analytics info, which I gather they have now made available......

nice App
Thanks

Its been re released and is working nicely on my Mango HD7. I doubt it will make it to the marketplace again so here is the Xap
Kind Regards,
Creamy

Anyone happen to have a version 1.2 xap ? Ver 1.1 doesn't work, and 1.3 (above) doesn't support Twitter.
1.2 is supposed to do both Twitter & Flickr. I'm not sure it's past the url issues that broke 1.1, just thought I'd ask if it's out there. Thanks.
EDIT: The above xap does have an option in setting to switch to "unsafe" mode, which pulls pics from Twitter. Works flawlessly. My bad.

thanks, great find!

my honest initial impression is it runs almost as if its a native app
while some may not like the change to use universal audio versus in app audio, I thought it was a nice touch
listening to some music under my lock screen was also a great addition
overall I'm impressed

Hey Atta and Mike,
congratulations on the release. With Metrotube you guys haven't only raised the bar for all 3rd party developments out there, but official apps as well. You can really be proud of yourselves. If I hadn't purchased LazyTube/Metrotube months ago, I would definitely do so now.

And we couldn't have done it without awesome beta testers / translators like you !

Yeah Cool thx

First of all good job it is looking nice
Second, do you use the mp4's for video playback or do you use flv?
Also would it be possible to retrieve the results of the desktop youtube? Since Im getting the results of the mobile youtube, which misses a lot of videos.
Keep it up man, it looks promising!

If i could, i'd buy it right now.

I purchased and its by far the best Youtube app for WP7!

You know, I had been avoiding this app as just another Youtube app that did no better than visiting the site, itself. I finally tried it out of boredom and I have to say that I'm highly impressed. It's intuitive, functional, and quick. Damned good job. I'm glad I gave it a chance.

Really amazing! Nice job.
I would like to know if you plan on adding a download option in future?

Same here, i can't view/play almost any of the VEVO videos.

Best youtube app so far....supertube have to catch up...
And yea i cant view or play VEVO videos =(

Thank you for this app, really liking it. However, here are some suggestions:
When watching a video in full screen and enlarging it, the video is not centered but shifted to the right or to the bottom (depending on the aspect ratio of the video)
There should be an option to resume playback
Could you add an option to disable the flipping of the application tile?
Oh yes, and the possibility to download videos would be great!
Keep up the good work

Bump. Please post the XAP here since you're pulling this off the Marketplace LazyWormApps. Thanks.

Please give us your xap as we already paid for your excellent app
I hate Google

Hopefully someone can get the XAP. Will suck badly if a hard reset was required and unable to get this app back.

Will it be allowed to post the xap here after they pulled it from the market?
