[APP] Easy Timer -[R]- 24/02/2011 -[U]- 11/09/2011 -[V]- v1.4 [Mango]

Name: Timer
I'm making this Timer app for windows phone 7. I searched for some timer apps on the marketplace (http://www.appsfuze.com/), I still don't own a wp7 device, working on that . I saw a few apps, but they all don't match the design of wp7 theme, and not all have the functionality of stopwatch or countdown.
So I decided to make an app myself, that matches the metro-design and also matches the theme you're using (light or dark). It has two modes: stopwatch and countdown. It'll be a free app because I'm a student and don't really do Windows Phone programming, it's just what I do in my free time
Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y05BhoMqSss (light theme switch is at the second half of the video)
Some pics: see the attachments
Now I have some questions: what do YOU want to see in a timer app, what functionality can I add to my app? I don't have a wp7 device so I want to know some differences with the emulator (like locking and unlocking the device, you can't emulate that)
UPDATE:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program is live here: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=4a4bbd3b-4f23-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
There are no push notifications because of the complexity of the system (at least for me). Any requests and ideas are welcome! (landscape support is coming in the next version and maybe thombstoning handling)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.1:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program is live here: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=4a4bbd3b-4f23-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Ok this version can be run under lockscreen! (don't forget to activate that feature in settings).
Next update I will add the last countdown memory as requested and the ability to try to resume the timers if the program was stopped and reopened.
Greetings and thx for support
Edit: added the .xap package because the marketplace version is still 1.0...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.2:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program is live here: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=4a4bbd3b-4f23-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Most people were probably waiting for this: the timers are now resumed when you close and open the app again! Now you can finally check your mail or send an sms and come back to your timer later.
The timer-start variables are stored, at the launch they are restored. Of course, the alarm CAN'T go off while the app is closed! (WP7 doesn't have multitasking).
Lap times are now calculated correctly. In the older versions you had this bug: you can't receive an sms while a timer was running, now it's solved.
The next versions will add some more usability and requested features (like the memory function, or pause and reset timer buttons) and new ideas are welcome!
I don't know if the latest version is distributed worldwide (I can see 2 versions in my app hub: English and EnglishNorthAmerica) If anyone outside USA can confirm that they are able to update (or fresh install) to 1.2, that will be nice.
I added a .xap for all other people without marketplace, in the attachment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.3:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program is live here: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=4a4bbd3b-4f23-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Not a big update, but some people requested it:
- You can now "export" stopwatch data. You just send an email to yourself so you can use that data later.
- There's a memory function for countdown. The last timer set is now remembered.
.xap file for people without marketplace is in the attachment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.4 Mango features preview:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was typing extended info on the new features here when I accidentally closed the window. So just look at the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCspKWwS8S4
I will release this app soon (1-2 weeks from now) I hope I can still submit to marketplace, my student account is almost 1 year old
The app will still be free.
Oh, just saw some comments more on this! Thanks for the support. I will redesign UI a bit before the release, so it'll use the default time picker.
Other feature requests are not forgotten! Just stay tuned, I'm programming this in my free time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.4 (Mango):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, the app is now on the marketplace! You can update/download it there. The new .xap is also in the attachment for those who still can't use marketplace (HD2)

The only thing i can think of would be to have it play a sound and vibrate once the countdown is complete. That way you could use it for cooking and stuff

Yep, it's already there ^^ (vibration needs to be tested cause the emulator wont emulate the vibration either)

simple , clean , real good looking good work .
hope to see it soon , I am getting this app for sure .

Looks great!
Hope can be released soon

very much interested in this. Will be even better when wp7 will let it run in the background.

yes, I had the idea to make the countdown timer visible as a live tile, maybe I'll add this functionality in the future versions still very newb with wp7 development

I believe it is possible to run timers in the background, by calculating the time between the app was closed and it was reopened. So it's not technically running in the background but is able to update the timer when you return to the program. Unfortauntely though it would not let you signal an alert or anything unless the app is actually open.
The alternative would be to have a webserver for the app; when you set a timer, eg 30 minutes, the app will register this with the webserver. Whether or not you are still in the app, the webserver can send the alert to your phone as a traditional toast notification (via MS servers as usual).
Here's a suggestion; perhaps you could develop this app as freeware, but make it a euro or two for this live tile / toast notification functionality? As it stands, it looks way more metro than the other timers I've tried so far. I need a timer for cooking!

Good idea, I'll look into that!
EDIT: I searched for some more info on toast notifications, but there's one thing that's bugging me.
So I can send and notification and the phone receives it, but if there are more than one app running, then a person might receive a notification that is from another user... Toest notifications are perfect if there's one message for all the users? or does it only send notifications to the phone that has requested that?

I've been searching for a free Timer App (there a already a number of free Stopwatch app) ever since I got my HD7. This is really very timely.
Whatever you have is already good enough as a launch product!
Suggestions:
1. As suggested earlier, to be able to ran even when WP7 is off (i.e. screen is off). Even better, if WP7 is running other app.
2. Have a different font color for the title of the app (probably build into the theme color change or just a separate settings option)
3. Ability to change the Alarm sound.
4. When Stopwatch or Timer is running, to blow up the font size of the running digits to cover the screen size (good feature) and have the fonts in different color (option)
I'm looking forward to your app and if you need someone to help you to test, I'm definitely willing but from what I know, I have to unlock my HD7 before I can do any software testing.
Thanks in advance for coming up with the app.
May I suggest a few names for the app?
1. Free Timer
2. StopW n Timer
3. Timer n StopW
4. Tmr n StopW
5. StopW n Tmr

This...looks...AMAZING!

It is possible to add option for reset en restart automaticly the couldown ?

This application is released on marketplace! Check the first post for more info!

I've tried the application from the marketplace today and while I really like it, there are still two plotstoppers for me:
Like:
- Nice, elegant design
- Fast transitions between stopwatch/timer
Dislike:
- The last set timer isn't saved. If I use the timer for my 5:40 boiled-egg every morning I have to set the timer everytime anew. Would be good to have a "reset to last set time"-option that is saved when exiting the application.
- The application really needs to prevent the phone from going entering standby-mode. As long as the timer or the stopwatch is running the phone and the display should stay switched on.
Maybe you could considering implementing my suggestions.
Thank you for your app anyway

Yes, the tombstoning is a big issue. The next update will have a better support for this feature. I hope I can prevent the screen for turning off.

Hello again

Great app!! Very simple (=positive!) and works great. However...could you please make a version without background? That would make it even more cleaner (=again positive! ) and more 'metro-ish'.
Keep up your great work!

Ok, I will add this functionality, I just submitted new version (with possibility to run behind the lockscreen). Once this is approved I will do the next update.

I'm sorry, i should have mentioned this. It's completely based on IE

Everybody who couldn't install yet, try this:
1. copy the zune-link i sent you.
2. write a mail to yourself.
3. open it on your phone.
for the 12 folks that are already in i sent a mail to their live-inbox.
hope that solves the installation issue.

Installing got no problem.Try google you tube it's quite fast and manage toplay video without any problem.The only thing I must get used to the tab.Well so far there's not any bug yet .
When I make a new tab it seems I can't search when I type xda developers it says ERROR Invalid url.I think every tab that we make if possible make to the home page.

thanks for fast feedback

BETA tester
My response from BETA-testing. (Note: Even if you have posted some bugs I'll still fill my list with what I experience)
Phone: LG Optimus 7
Status: Works perfectly!
My current status: Stopped BETA testing.
Positive:
100% fullscreen
Customization!
Live tile with information about current session!!
Slide up the URL tab on fullscreen to get to normal view without fullscreen.
Fast web browser
Share page function (lovely!!)
It's now my official MAIN browser!
-
-
Things to maybe improve & suggestions:
First startpage is google.de, could have been google.com (but nothing special actually)
Maybe you could make your own videoplayer to play eg. youtube videos on, instead of using the phone's player (not required since the videoplayer of the phone is also good)
Also have the abillity to press the favorites url instead of only the visit button at the bottom. But keep it.
Maybe slide with 2 or 3 fingers down on the screen for entering/exiting fullscreen mode?
-
-
Negative and or Currently found bugs:
When entering fullscreen mode, it's hard to get back to regular. I had to tap like 5 times on the black button at the bottom left. (hard to use the button)
If the application opens without internet connection it will say ERROR, no network available. But it does say it when I change to other menus such as settings (keep spamming ERROR everywhere)
Theres no suggestion of websites when entering a url for eg. if you enter www.fa it could show up some suggestions like facebook or failblog.
-
I'll edit this post with more when I find

thanks for that wonderful feedback, so much inspiration
some response to the bugs:
- i'm currently working on the suggestionlist, shouldn't be that difficult.
- for the fullscreen-button i got a new solution, what should make it much
easier.
- the Network-check must be fixxed, thanks for your discovery.
@Ttblondey: search function is now included

I have given my review here and video review here.
Overall I found the app to be very nice and smooth. A good alternative for sure but there are few things you can look into except the bugs which is already reported.
1) One is integration with skydrive for syncing bookmarks etc.
2) More Gestures
3 ) Open up option for both Google and Bing as search engine.
4 ) cookie turn on and off.
Rest is all good, keep us rolled in beta.

Please read the first post carefully

I would like a "Search for text" function in the functions menu Would be awesome to be able to search for words on a page
And else I can say that I'm really happy with the browser, works well, and hopefully soon releasing? Because then you could like update with small minor updates incase something is needed
Happy New Year roqstr!

there's a search for text function ;O it's just not my own at the moment, a provisional solution,if you will
Yea, but i always find features that shouldn't be missing in the release-version, to make it working right
next week i'll be busy with school, shouldn't fail my exams
afterwards, i'd be able to release an open beta, just for some extra feedback
next step is fixing last issues and then i'll release ;P
if somebody do have experience with apphub, pubcenter & co, he can pm me to help me understanding
thanks, hope you all enjoyed New Year's Eve, i did ;P

Still waiting to test this thing
it looks nice, can't wait for release :O

I wrote a browser, based on IE its in my signature.
I'll be happy to test your browser and get better result to my and your app.

Biggest issue at the moment is the picture-viewer, but I hope I can handle this soon.
@sma6871: I'll test it and message you when I have questions or suggestions.

Unfortunately I forget to set trial mode, but now I send a trial mode enable update, and it will be up to date soon.

open beta out now. read 1st post!

Here is my feedback :
1.Dropdown to switch between search engines
2 Where did Advance Main Colour Gone ?
3. When I try yo change Main Colour Accent Colour it gives me sorry message "You Should not Overwrite the accent style"
4. Find Text Crashes the app
5. You can think of ignoring pics which are of very small size in the Picture view.
6. Picture viewer also picks up YouTube thumbnail as picture but does not display anything.

[APP] SwitchMe Root Profile Manager needs INCS testers please!

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 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
- 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.
Screens:

Just started to test it, created 2 profiles : one main, one for testing the switching. After first switch, loading circle started, remained stuck for 10secs (same happens when switching back), then restarted. New loading screen showed up, first load took about 5-7mins. After all loaded, switchme requested SU perms and new google account interface started.
One possible bug i noticed, usually when new google account interface starts, the mobile data service is started so you would have connectivity. This time it didn't start (i had it turned off in profile 1, then switched to profile 2). Although it works properly, it just didn't start at first startup.
All my installed/downloaded applications are not included in the app drawer, so that works nice.
But a drawback i noticed. If the app is focused on the privacy part of sharing one device, gallery pics&videos are accessible from both profiles, so you might want to think of a way of restricting pics&vids accessibility only to the profile that created them (big challenge from my point of view).
All default installed application seem to work without a problem.
One strange thing i noticed, our custom ROM has Beats audio included - in profile 1 (my default one) switching Beats audio on/off works, but on profile 2 (newly created profile) switching it off makes it stuck on off (switching it back on has no effect on audio).
As i don't have a necessity for this app to run it as a daily profile switcher, can't test more in-depth scenarios, but if you want something tested/have a scenario, write it up here or send a PM. Good luck with the development.

I take it everything is fine?

1.5.3.8
Fixed issue switching profiles (One X and others)
Fixed rare crash on adding/ removing profiles
Fixed many device specific issues from user logs

- Only bug/or maybe a feature I noticed is The app itself have different settings between logons. I mean If I optimize in one logon, I must made the same changes in other account too. Its sometimes frustating.
- And the setting "logout automatically" not worked correctly. When I speak to someone on phone and proximty turn of the screen, and I remove phone from my ear, It shows the logon screen, everytime.
Seems like everything worked flawlesly. But I have a question. What happens if I uninstall the program?

Lets use our brains to think logically. If it was possible to disable any security by calling the phone, what would be the point of any security at all?

You didnt get my point. This is happen when im on the phone with someone. I need to logon an account to hangup and this take time. If you think logically; I must be already logoned to a profile before starting to speak someone.

Ah now i see what you mean. However, my logic is still right. You are using it on a phone, and phones are not well suited to automatic log off. I mean just how often do you need to switch profiles? Surely you should be doing it manually...

[App] WP7 Calendar

posted for my friend, have no internet connection
Hello
WP7 Calendar is now available. This application enable to consult your calendar synchronized with your smartphone.
The application is available through this link:
http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=6bbbd974-077f-4217-98e9-1d177b5570d0
There is a trial version to allow you to discover the application, don’t hesitate to download it
The launching price for one week is set to 0.99 then it will pass to 1,49
Good use
Laranzu

Does this works with already existing calendars or you need to add that to the app ?

The app use the calendar associated to the account you set in your phone.
The app recover automatically the appointment set for each account.

And what are the benefits/advantages/unique features over built-in calendar? Why should I buy this one?

Because it displays week numbers, maybe?
I'll give it a try and report back...
Edit: On the Display page (as shown on last thumbnail) maybe you should leave the start and end times free to choose, not everybody does a normal job, you know, just an opinion. And by tapping the tile, day or week (depending on the tile tapped) should be opened instead of the parameters page which IMHO should be last..
Nice app otherwise, the built-in calendar is frustratingly lacking features.

well, the starting point of the project was to offer a week view. It's something that the built in app doesn't not offer
The browsing between the different view is done with flick instead of having to tap on an icone in the application bar. In the build in app to access month view you have an icon for that.
The month view i provide give some usefull information that let you know if you have appointment in the morning, afternoon or all day. The build in app just display text so small that it's useless.
You can swap easily between view by clicking on week number or on the days. Nice when you want to set an appointment in the futur.
For the tile, you have 2 kind of tiles : week or day. The built in app offer only day and for only the next appointment.
With my tile you can have a graphic view of the day or week and/or the next 2 appointment for the current day.
But the best way to discover the app is to give it a try

Its nice application, but only 5 starts in trial mode is very liitle :-( When i set Live Tiles, some options and trial is done :-( Cannot test, 10 starts could be better number...

One definite bug, and two maybes (first one is a bug);
1) When doing AM/PM, it shows Noon as 12AM middle of day - should be 12PM (this is on day and week views)
2) When viewing day, it does not display starting at the start time you select (not sure where it starts, at current time of day you view it?). Week does.
3) My live tile shows nothing when you first pin it. Takes awhile to show anything (I am guessing the 30 minutes).

This one is a critical; if author not implemented prompt tile updates (using push notification), this app is useless (regardless of week view).

1) hmm, my mistake. didn't notice that as i mainly use 24h.
2) when you display current day, time is set to the current time. When it's not current day, it's start à midnight. I have to agree that currently the parameter is not clear. Should be better with the next update
3) The first tile update is not generated from the app. you have to wait max 30mn. it's also something i'll adress in the next version.
Beside the first generation, update are running fine.
Thanks for the feedback, it'll help improve the application.

Thanks. Love the week view. My wife loved it so got it for her's as well.

Following the return of the betas testers and also of the first users, here are the main elements of future V1.1:
View:
- Addition of fixed hour day view (almost finished)
- Addition of a 24hours scrolling week view
Tile: Improvement
- dedicated screen for customization
- Tile preview in the app
- First tile generation made from the app
Number of launch for trail version increased : between 10 and 20 (to be defined)
+ several little things
Delay : Less longer than you wish, faster than you hope 
Benefit from the last days to profit from launching price: change of price Monday
PS: don’t hesitate to evaluate the application

One suggestion, please consider making it open on the day view instead of the parameters page.

It's already done
check in the parameters

Sweet! I can choose any page now!
Thanks

This is a nice app. I'll like it more when it can be used to actually edit the calendar. I understand this is a limitation of the OS and not the app though.
A thought:
I don't like when calendars show Sun at the end of the week. It'd be nice to have the option to have it at the beginning of the week.

[APP] AlternativeOuyaStore

This app is currently in an alpha release, the AlternateOuyaStore app. This will basically do the same thing that the windows version does, except this one you can run right on the Ouya itself. Like I said this is fairly early, it doesn't look nice, but it does give you a list of all the games with game images (just like the windows one) and you can download the game apks. The download shows up in the notification area and you install it just like side loading any other app, except these ones are recognized by official Ouya Store! I tested and basically developed this thing on cm10 and it seems stable there. Had issues running it on my old HTC one x though...
So if you run into any issues please post below so they can make it into the next commit!
Usage:
1) Tap/click the "Get List" button. (this will load the list)
2) Select a game from the list. (this will put the game title in the textbox next to the download button)
3) Tap/click the "Download" button. (this will start the download for the apk file) Due to the game changing as you thumb-stick through the games though I find it easiest to just use the touch pad to tap download. Annoying... so this is on my list.
4) Either tap the completed apk download in your notification or go to you default download location and tap the apk file.
5) Play the game! You can also play through the official Ouya Store Play menu( as the biggest issue was getting the Discover area to load on CM10)
For now the download is basically done by sending the download url as an intent, which then launches whatever you have as your default browser. This saves me from having to have extra permission like saving to storage and progress bars and a whole mess of stuff that I will get to later but don't want to worry about right now.
To Do list:
- Better GUI
- Sort list functions
- Generalize functions to reduce coupling with the main activity.
- Add internal download and install functionality
I'm releasing this under the GNU GPL so have at'er!

(This is my first android app so go easy on the code sloppiness! lol)
For the non-coders that just want to try it out, the install apk can also be found in the AlternateOuyaStore folder in the link above.
Irc FreeNode #ouya-dev

Sounds Kool will give a try

you know what really sucks is that I saw this at 5oclock this morning an hour before I gotta go to work. I WANNA PLAY

Just downloaded, Checking this out now! The Ouya store needed this type of sorting VERY badly! thanks for the efforts

I'll try again later tonight but I was having issues downloading apps with this? So I got an issue the source is built with the odk I feel like an a$$ for saying this. But I ain't touching the odk with a ten foot stick for a couple months. Honestly I've done a bit of theming, hacking and phone flashing but all of that was either hacking apks, building them from android source or with the android sdk. Right now I'm learning how to straight up code android and don't want to mess up my machine with the odk (some old school themers know what I'm talking about).

So about a half an hour ago I set this up on eclipse and got it up and running made a few changes so far. I haven't tested on my ouya yet but ran it on my phone (htc evo 4g lte) to make sure that the array list would work. It does but it doesn't download. I changed the screenorientation in the manifest because on screen orientation it resets. It's a temp fix that does work but later we'll have to do something about handling runtime changes a little bit better.
On a side note I made a webview that goes to the ouya update site. Eventually I want it to go to the site download the text as a string checks it against our build.prop and if different then it downoads the url (update zip) to your device to install. I can't give a time frame right now on how fast this will take right now I'm working six days a week 10 hrs a day at universal building project 722. But this stuff isn't on the shelf.

Expect a new release around 9pm eastern.

Here we go
update 1
added a sort function so that the list is alphabetical
changed name to simply "the store"
added icon to appear in ouya launcher ( I hope it works)
no more clicking buttons to download list it starts automatically
added a counter in top of screen that displays the number of apps available
when you click the list it automatically downloads the app
think thats it
problems
the only problem I have is that it doesn't display the icons a custom adapter is required for that.
Ui needs some more work but it takes time
source code here https://github.com/asadullahibnrob/AlternateOuyaStore

Alright this update is a little back and forth.
I removed the counter and lost the the ability to sort the apps (temporarily).
But gained a nice big picture but need to add a cache to get to run smooth.
Not really excited LOL.
Source code here https://github.com/asadullahibnrob/theStore. Any questions comments or complaints let me have em.

Hey guys,
I have tried both apps. I appreciate the effort you are putting to this. Both application are in very early development, but in the right track!
A note to both apps
When you click a paid app (with no free trial) i.e. Towerfall, the app crashes. I believe this is because when you request the data for that app, it won't return a download URL as expected, and i assume you guys are not validating this .​
I recommend that you mark which apps aren't free for download, and either do nothing when clicked or redirect to app's official entry on the original app store.
Keep up the good work :good:

That's my fault I'll see if I can fix it today. ........
EDIT: Actually i was wrong kinda they changed the auth token to something else. I glance through their code and didn't see anythng in the ouya oobe.apk I'm wondering if they give one to each user. But maybe I could set it up so that it goes to the info page so that you can send it to your ouya.

Hey guys just a heads up I'm gonna working 7 days a week 12 hours a day for a few weeks.
