META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

Yep, the webkit renderer is pretty awful. We are working on it, there are a bunch of optimizations out there and they will be included.
In the meantime, please rate the app and comment - at this early stage good ratings have a massive impact on an apps success. And success means more features, faster
Thanks in advance.
1.0.2.2
Fixed alignment issue on text and lists
Fixed sort order issue in list view
Added divider visibility toggle
Optimized custom browser rendering
Minor UI changes to increase compatibility
Any issues with the update?
Please can you add support for sites with basic access authentication over https?
This tool would be very handy to get my munin graphs onto my homescreen but want to access them only via SSL and with the correct username + password.

Would strongly recommend adding an activity with a tutorial for people unfamiliar with how widgets work.
A lot of your users will download and see nothing clickable in the app tray, then uninstall. (Had this problem with one of my apps)
Hmmm... I'm not sure those are our target audience.

As long as you're comfortable with the issue reports and low ratings from that audience downloading it, sure, you can ignore it.
I'd say it's wrong to assume that falsely correlating app drawer and downloaded apps makes a user you don't want.
First impressions arguably count the most for an app.
Now that the lifehacker review is old news, those will stop. Anyway, with the widget constructor coming there will be a different way of adding things entirely.

Regarding low ratings. We make like 15 apps. And i can tell you that the low ratings coming from complete morons just cant be avoided. Check this one out from this morning:

Has potential. This app is very powerful, I'm sure, in the right hands. Unfortunately, many people won't understand how to use this widget. It took me a few hours of just messing around to get what I wanted. The content selection is horrible (arrows, really?), and the automatic) list prediction is also horrible for the sites I tested.

Arrows really? A couple of hours? List prediction? If i was emperor of the universe i would have the guy shot. And then shot again.

Why have a free version? Free version is useless. No auto updates. I guess devs think this will make people buy the full version. All this does is frustrate me. Make it time limited instead of crippled. I can live without it.

Better than Newsr? How does it compare?
I quite like the look of this, but I'm really loathe to buy a Reader app when it's only a matter of time until Google themselves release one that's optimized for tablets. I haven't bought Newsr for the same reason.
If you release an ad supported version then I'd jump all over it.

Maybe we will release an ad version. But we would rather not bloat the interface with ads. I dont think google will release a good reader app for tablets, the browser one is no good and the one for phones isnt really great either in my opinion. Thats why we thought of doing one that looks the way we want for our selves..

As it works now, the news wont get marked as read. When you sync it purges the news and downloads new news. So you can decide, tell us how you want it and we will make it work like that.
Newsr is a small investment and very good. Actively developed. Even if Google releases its own Reader app that you prefer, you will have gotten your money's worth. What I really want is a scrollable Reader widget which allows me to select which feed or label I want in the widget.
I like the look of this Honey Reader. When it sorts out the login Account Manager issue, I'll give it a whirl. Price is fair, too. I think people forget they can still do 15 minute try and return for no cost if they want. It's important that we support a development community for Droid if we want it to become as robust as Apple's.
Edit: just realized the account manager issue is resolved. Off to try this now.

Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on some Xoom ROMs have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops or whatnot
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, be sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.

This is an awesome idea- I'll check it out when my device returns!

I'm starting to have problems with this app.
Not sure if its linked to the latest cm9 build for the xoom.
So going to try and use an older one and see if its fine.
Using the lockscreen feature when tablet is on charge in its dock.
After around 20mins this happends and the tablet freezes have to use vol + plus power to restart it.
I/ServiceDumpSys( 1637): dumping service [account]
hmm it only happens on the latest nightly. 17-2 is fine.
EDIT- If anyone is getting this put it back on charge and it will show the switchme unlock screen. so no restart is needed
The lockscreen is pretty standard, so probably its the nightly - next time it happens and you can wait it out, send logs please!
New realtime web tracking system, runs on any phone 2.1+
You can send links to people you want to share your position with. Has configurable "update" times and shows last update/update interval/battery status on the web tracking page (useful for example when you are outside, roaming wilderness for many hours and need to save those last 10% of battery by turn long update interval - people watching you do not freak out, why didn't you move for a long time).
Current status: works, I am optimizing the GPS usage for battery savings.

I am the author of this app and have one question - did you ever clicked on ads in this app? I am just trying to make a kind of "Survey" between users to know, which way to go. I have the paid version, but it doesn't sell well, so I made the Ad-supported version, listed in Google Play for free, but not many people click the ads.
What do you think? Do you think, that having the app free, supported with ads is viable option for me?
Does this application allows recording and upload tracks?

Nice app... but
I just downloaded your free version to see how it worked before purchasing and have a question.
In your description it says you can send links by email but there is no option through the phone app to send links at all. The only place I seen that offers any type of links to send is on the website. I think this option should be offered through the phone app.
Is this something you plan on adding?
Noblesse Oblige
This application began as a themed method to access the same Siri servers used by Jailbroken iOS devices, but has since grown to surpass even those.
It now has offline recognition, allowing access to everything that is still available without an Internet connection. It has social broadcasting, which allows users to send messages to the others using the application. It also now supports launching applications and improved navigation.
Future features will include leaderboards to resemble the reports given in the show and integration with Facebook and Twitter, to accompany current integration with YouTube.

Pretty much any server listed will provide the basics, just not the extensions. The only issue I have seen is many of those servers are run from Germany, so grammar isn't always perfect and the commands are unnatural.
I will openly admit that I purchased, tore apart, and then based my application on siri0us, which is partnered with grwh. I have been trying to keep the unthemed portions similar, much like a Siri theme would be to allow people the option of using either application without it being a drastic change or confusing process.
Surprisingly, though, some of the grwh moderators have been the most opposition on this project. Even with the server being open source and the mass amount of updates and improvements I have offered back to them, they have this view that I am trying to profit from their server. The application price is unrelated to the server, but the proceeds are used to maintain it. This comes from sacrificing any profit to provide this service back to the user instead. This issue has been addressed and hopefully does not threaten the development of this project.

Iris is like the original Siri. It only works right on certain devices, the responses are generic, and you get stuck with what they give you, including ads.
On another note, that application forces religion on the user by responding with numerous references to God and Christianity. This is something I feel deserves some sort of disclaimer and isn't really appropriate for applications that span multiple countries and religions.
This works with pretty much anything, the responses vary and are alway being expanded and updated, you can choose the voice engine, the server can be switched, custom responses can be submitted to the server, no religious belief is chosen for the user, and (thanks to the wolfram plugin) you can still ask things like how much caffeine in a mountain dew.
Sent from my Jailbroken iPad 3
I am working on the app launching as a separate plugin. The reason for this is that the server has no way of handling things like that, so having a launch command pass through the server would be silly. The local plugin will intercept the command instead.
The alternative was to have the server pass back a value that was read to launch the app, but I would be running the only server that handled it. This will provide the best method for adding the functionality to any server someone chooses to use.

Sirious! is an unthemed Siri client, but with theirs you lose the search button launch, some GPS functionality, orientation handling, and the default server is configured to their public one (which gets rid of the server theme components, but also most of the plugins and improvements to the server).
In the app menu, there is a button for custom commands that will take you directly to the page to submit custom responses, or under "Interactions" on the main site listed in the first post. If you mean altering the server responses for other things, you can suggest them through the "Contact Developer" link on Google Play's app page or the site "Resources".
Removing the theme would make this just another bland Siri clone, and that was the whole point of developing a new one. If the theme is really that much of a problem or makes you feel uncool, you may want to wait until sirious! updates their app for Siri servers or try Skyvi, Assistant, Ever Friends, Iris, or any other "generic" voice assistant app.

I would have done Alfred and the Bat communicator if I really wanted to meet the Warner Bros. legal team. Anime companies tend to be less strict when it comes to "fan creations" but it's often an issue with those themes being considered "lame" by the general public. I tried not to go too crazy but not make it just a background that didn't fit anything else.
I did catch some errors on alarms that are being looked into and texts seem to be hit or miss. Both are plugins issues with the server so they will get fixed without having to update.

Yeah, the old famous marvel lawsuits. shame on them.
Anyway, one thing that you should probably look at is the landscape mode. Right now it just stretches the background image, which looks terrible. I had some more response oddities, but I assume you can get those from server logs.

TRY THE FREE VERSION OF THIS WEB BROWSER
If you are not familiar with the free version of Naked Browser then please see this thread on XDA Developers. Please try the free version first before you even consider Naked Browser Pro.
WHAT'S NEW RIGHT NOW?
Naked Browser Pro is the paid version and the plan is to add many cool features in the coming weeks and months. Differences between the Pro and free versions include whitelists (JavaScript, cookies, user agent, images, geolocation), gestures, action customizations (link long press, double tap, tab close method), screenshots, and quite a lot more. See http://nakedbrowser.com/pro/ for help and how to import bookmarks from the free version. See the Play Store listing or change logs in this thread for what else is new.
PRETTINESS / UGLINESS OF THE USER INTERFACE
Currently, the look of the user interface of this app is a low priority. Why? There are too many other cool features which I want to implement first. I am a solo developer so I have limited resources and I must prioritize. Having to deal with graphics as I change underlying code is a waste of resources.
NEW PERMISSIONS / YOUR PRIVACY
A main goal of the free version was to limit the permissions required. That limit has been removed in order to add all kinds of new features. However, just like the free version, Naked Browser Pro will never spy or monitor you in any way. The primary motivation of Naked Browser has always been to provide a web browser for Android that is trustworthy.
THANK YOU
I appreciate your feedback and support so thank you very much. The positive comments keep me motivated and the negative ones are helpful too, as long as they are backed up with specific details in order to help development.

cookie whitelist enabled when you turn on Data options > Cookies clear on exit **
accept URLs to view via near field communication (NFC). Let me know as I was unable to test this.
see open tabs list via long pressing new tab "+" menu
UI tweaks ***
Adobe Flash can be set to "always on" (not recommended) ****
* From the free version go options > Data options > Export bookmarks. Then, in Naked Browser Pro go options > Data options > Import bookmarks. I plan to add more bookmarks import options and hopefully syncing in the future.
** Enable this feature by enabling the clear cookies on exit option. When you visit a site like xda-developers.com and you want to keep cookies (stay logged in) you simply touch the cookie icon on the browser's bottom menu. Then, when you exit the browser all cookies will be cleared except those from the sites you have approved.
*** "more" menu is part of bottom menu and the top part scrolls left/right, bottom menu labels removed, new and higher resolution app icon, app icon label now "Browser NBPro".
**** People asked for this so they got it. Hey, it's the Pro version. Adobe Flash causes many crashes, uses lots of resources, and is used by companies to track you. I say leave it "on demand" or "off"!
Thanks again XDA Developers!!!
I love naked browser, I've been using it prolly since right after you posted it for the first time. I've never once had a problem with the browser and i love that it respects my privacy unlike the more popular browsers. Thank you for this great browser. nice respectable price for the pro version. I just bought it to support my daily driver browser.
Finally
Instantly bought it. :thumbup:

Congratulations! The first thing I see is that both the name and the icon are better than they used to be
I have only 2 option wished left now
-Text size in percentage (I think you already said it was coming)
-Option in more option tabs to change text size
Another thing I'd like to see but not sure if possible would be different text sizes for landscape and portrait
Otherwise it's already the almost perfect browser

Thanks everyone! I am really excited about the features coming up. Thank you for joining me on this before all of the features have been released: that is awesome!

Thank you! So many people did not like the icon and name--I had to do something. The icon now says "Browser NBPro" which is more family friendly. It also takes care of the situation where the name got cut off and said "Naked Bro". Funny but true!

Thank you! Yes, I plan to add the percentage zoom functionality in the next week or two. My concern with different text sizes for landscape/portrait: 1) resizing on orientation change will cause the scroll position to change which can be irritating, 2) why would you want the text size to change based on orientation? Isn't the point just to make the text readable? Isn't that independent of the orientation? Thoughts on this? Regardless, I'm willing to try it out.

Thank you! I spent 15 minutes drawing the new logo and this time I even looked at a map while I was drawing it.
I was thinking of making something more polished, corporate and maybe I will one day. For now, I want to keep working as I was before. "Make shiny" is a low priority. I want cool new features that really make a difference and I want the Pro version to be a natural progression from the free version.

Well, you've already given me a donation. The problem with paypal is how will you get updates? Do you have access to any other markets? Maybe Amazon?
Hi ami, sad, but no other accounts or markets i guess, it would be easiest way to share a link with your update. Isn't?
Good luck in development

Hi Aminaked,
Are you familiar with how Opera Mobile displays an arrow on screen when you scroll quickly in either direction? Tapping the arrow takes you to the top or bottom of the page. Please consider adding something like that. I know we now have the ability to keep the third menu row visible in the pro version, with the navigation buttons always there. That does help.

maybe ami can upload it to other market too, like getjar. That doesn't impose a country restriction like Amazon.

Thanks! Bought it and will try it out.

haha, that's good, we don't need it shiny, it's already so good. I even like the looks! But I already told you that back in the NB non-pro thread when you released it the first time xP
Hello.
I have little suggestion.
In Poland credit cards are not so popular, and I don't have one - so I cant buy this app.
Could you make another way to buy the app? OR Share there for free, but with ads?
Thank you.

There is a free version of the browser, no ads!
I really like this browser, but I'm just wondering why you had to make a separate thread to release a pro version.
