I am a beer lover, and like to sample lots of different beers. I am looking for a program that will allow me to log the beers i have had, and take a few notes. Preferable id like the log to be able to list the beers.
Any ideas?

Sounds like the task for a spreadsheet so you could just use Excel Mobile
I'm not sure about a program, but you should definitely check out http://ratebeer.com/. If you sign up for a free account you can rate and review all of your beers, and it keeps all of your records and you can sort by rating or style. It's a great resource to find good beers and keep track of the one's you like or dislike. I actually haven't tried it from my mobile, but I'm sure the site would come up fine in Skyfire or Opera.
......and if you haven't tried Stone's Arrogant Bastard Ale or Ommegang's Ommegang Abbey Ale.....you owe yourself a taste.
I do a similar thing, makng a note of all of the books I read.
I use Phatnotes, which is a 3rd party alternative to the built-in Notes app and vastly superior

How about setting up a blogspot blog and hitting it when you try a new brew? I blog using ping.fm sms service. Works great!
You should try Shiner Beer's new 100 years of Beer Commemorater. Just had my first taste of it last night. Will have to try a few more tonight.......
Now this is my kinda thread.
Handy shopper is good for making lists of stuff.

I saw this on the market, I hadn't seen it before so I don't know whether it is new or it has just been updated but there are no reviews of it and I can't read the website so I'm not sure what to think of this app really.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/oms.sns.facebook
I haven't purchased it so I don't know if it is any good. Have any of you guys seen this before?
Thanks,
Simon.
Yeah it is new as I just noticed it as well. Anyone wanna take the dive and purchase and post impressions?
hmm based on that one review doesn't seem good :/
probably just another mobile facebook wrapper.
I emailed the Dev, asked him if it's a native app using FB's APIs or a wrapper, and asked for screenshots.
We'll see what he says.
Got a reply:
From Email said:
Hi Jordan,
Mobile Facebook is a native application, not by Browser, which using Facebook APIs,
FBook is a Browser,
Our application is totle different from FBook, we can access Facebook very fast, and also enable user access wall message, phonebook, friends information,
Enable you upload photo, video to Facebook,
Show news feed,
We will find a website to show more information about Mobile Facebook.
Thanks your mails

He sent me a ton of screenshots of the app in use. Screenshot attachments continue in the next post.
Continued screenshots.
Conclusion: The app doesn't look as pretty as Bloo does, but it looks far more powerful and integrated. I don't know if it's worth the $3.50, though.
I like Babbler myself. The first true native Facebook app.
Is it just me, or are those screenshots totally confusing? It's not the language barrier per-se, but I can't tell what any of those pages are supposed to be showing.
The thing that has me wondering though is, I thought there was no mail API - that's why Bloo and the others don't have mail yet.
Edit: Ok, I downloaded it and took some screenies of my own.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolageek2/sets/72157621869871714/
My opinion - it does a LOT. But it's kinda fugly and not fun or intuitive to use. I couldn't figure out how to view people's photos or reply to their wall posts, but I only had it for about 10 minutes and decided that I didn't like it enough to keep playing with it.
You could reply to e-mail, that was kind of cool. You couldn't do it from the message-read page though, you had to long-press on the message title on the message-list screen.
Mail is the only thing I saw that this has that Bloo doesn't (I haven't used babble). And with blue it's a LOT easier to comment on walls, photos, etc...
As you can see though, from the screenshots, it's got a LOT of options, so maybe I missed something.
Thanks for the review, nolageek.
If the interface improves, I wouldn't mind trying it. It'd be nice as well if the author could share their hacks with the Bloo and Babbler devs. Unless he's just recoding the HTML from the m.facebook.com site.
i like bloo the best so far, but i'm going to reserve judgment until the official app comes out next week.

Apps like Babbler and Bloo *could* do mail, but if they did they wouldn't be an officially approved Facebook app, since they wouldn't be following the guidelines of using strictly the API.
Neither of them are an officially approved Facebook app. There is no officially approved Facebook app, and no official Facebook app anyway.
And Babbler originally had mail, but it redirected users to the mobile site. Kind of a botched version. They've since dropped it in favor of pure API access.

there is rumored to be an official facebook app releasing with the launch of the MT3G, which happens next week. I see this as being strongly possible seeing as facebook, after years of TMO hating, just decided to open up mobile alerts for TMO customers.
It's not just T-Mobile they hate, it's Google as well.

wrong. there is a difference between an "official" app and an "approved" app. facebook approves apps and puts them on the web site if they follow all of their guidelines for apps. since facebook has announced they are making their own OFFICIAL app, they aren't listing android mobile apps anymore.

Not made for android. Made for all phones not iphone. But same page. Have you compared that feed to the real site? Its brutal. 1st few items are new, and then it just tosses a bunch of crap in from 24 hours ago or older. For anyone that uses facebook a few times a day, x.facebook is awful. Pretty tabs, but if feed is wrong, useless
I know everybody probably has the following
Advanced Task Manager
Skype
Dolphin/Opera/Miren Browser
But what other little "gems" have you found on the net that now it would be hard to live without.
Free Apps
Freenote What a beauty! Taking meeting notes etc in freehand or Kboard.
Store audio or pictures from the camera straight into a note. mail etc
3CX Sip Phone: Free, Simple and it works!
Dual File Manager: Uppacks Zip files on the fly and intuitive to use.
QuickPic: Much better than gallery able to Hide the directories you don't want to include.
MoboPlayer: Seem to play all the video files I have (WMF, AVI,etc etc)
Wifinder: Quick and easy Wifi control
Swiss Arny Knife: (all the common helpfull stuff in one package) especially the ruler!
Paid Apps
Roadsync: (If you have to interface into outlook, it just works)
Documents to Go: Seems to handle most of the microsoft virus (sorry office) files.
Beautiful Widgets: (Worth the money if your a HTC Sense fan)
Root explorer/total commander and titanium backup are must have apps!
plume,friend me, CNBC, news pres, file manager hd, great battles, talk, pulse, a currency, gamefly, qello, news360, the daily habit there's more....
Note all the apps I stated are fully optimized for the xoom

Seriously, dude, buzz off. Is that how you increase your post count? Nobody gives a rat's ass about newbies like you. And it IS a redundant thread. Thus, you can go frack yourself.

By the way OP download the Amazon app store and get Fieldrunners. That's my favorite app so far.

Last I checked this isn't StackOverflow. IMO, the OP is right in this case, and what the hell is the harm if he isn't? This thread is in the right place, and more content can help people find things by chance.

I'm not allowed to post a direct link yet, so you'll have to search for "Audiour for Chromecast" on the Play Store or Github.
What is it?
Audiour is a free, open, and anonymous audio sharing platform that let's anyone quickly and easily share files without any hassles like forcing you to create an account or wade through banner ads.
Audiour for Chromecast is an beta-release app for Android that let's you explore interesting content on Audiour and play them either on your phone or tablet, or send them to your TV using a Chromecast device. You can also share content with friends, which plays instantly if they also have the app installed.
It's built using Audiour.com's public API and the source code is available on Github.com
How do I use it?
At the moment, the Chromecast functionality only works if you either have your Chromecast rooted with Kyocast installed, or it's white listed and you can upload the receiver to your white listed URL. Instructions to setup the receiver can be found on Github or in the app's settings screen.
If you just want to playback files on your local device, everything should work as expected.
Wouldn't it be cool if it did...
Why yes, I agree that feature sounds fantastic. I'm extremely open to feedback/suggestions/criticism/praise and would love to hear from you. You can email me at [email protected] and I will try to respond ASAP. Also, if there are any features you'd love to see, let me know. Also, I will gladly take a look at pull requests if you want to contribute.
I have plans to support uploading music shortly, for now just go to Audiour.com, it's nice and responsive and very mobile friendly. I'm also working with the site's founder to add the ability to save a list of your favorite tracks.
Very nice to see this released to the public.
Good work and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future! Definitely going to have a play around with this.
Awesome app nathanrjones!

Thanks for the feedback guys!
I want to re-iterate that I definitely appreciate any feedback and if there's anything you think could be changed or improved, I will definitely look into it.
If you think it's great as is, sharing it with your friends or leaving a positive review on the Play Store would be awesome.
cant wait to play around with this.
thanks
Hey buddies,
I want to share my new app with you.
The app is not a "Nexus-only" project, but I developed it mostly for myself to get the battery indicator (%-text) back on my phone After I implemented that, I thought a proper clipboard-managment would be a nice feature, too. Many of you know LG's solution.
The reason why I'm providing this app here in the Nexus forum is that the app's theme (colors, layouts) is a replica of the stock Android-look (vanilla) - please don't take the word "replica" too serious, I just tried my very best
However, if you're interested to give it a try, you will...
.
Please note:
The app is free-of-charge and doesn't contain ads (I don't want to waste traffic and battery by shipping ads to you - maybe I will add a premium-key in a couple of days).
If you want to support the project (as translator, tester), please send me a mail.

Hey cturbos, thanks for your compliment. I'm not completely sure what you mean. Do you mean that clip- and network-notification can be disabled by the user? This feature should be working already, just uncheck the specific notification in the app's settings (you can find the settings when you swipe from the left to open the navigation drawer).
Or do you mean that the dialog (popup) will stay open / resume at a given point (aka "the last shown entry")?
Greetings
Martin
Thank you for the quick response, the network notification settings.
I'll try it, And get back to you.
Keep up the good work

Not sure if this is the way you want to go...it may be better to provide an xda version that doesn't have the license check...collecting emails of users, even as a kind gesture (and it is really kind of you to offer this) may not be the best means, as it's akin to site registration (or at least could be construed as similar enough).

Hello micmars,
I can understand your opinion and I totally agree with you. Collecting personal data may bring trouble in a project (let me tell you, that I am from Germany and we have one of the strictest privacy legals worldwide, so I really take care about these aspects when I'm releasing an app).
M104 doesn't take the email to verify the app's state. Please check the permissions, I' not able to receive users' personal data (such as email).
ALL required permission:
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BATTERY_STATS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SYNC_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
These permissions are needed to ship the functionality the app has today.
Collecting data manually (by hand) is much too unhandy to (re)sell it.
If someone suspects this information isn't true, he can send me the ID without using the personal email-address (I assume everybody has a fake mail).
And there are other ways to send me the ID:
- Leave me a private message here on XDA
- Send me a letter containing the ID shown in the dialog (oldschool solution)
- Call me or contact me in GooglePlus
There are plenty of ways to contact me, without telling me "who you are".
Shipping two different versions sadly has the disadvantage that the statistics (rating in GooglePlay and statistics by Google Analytics*) are collected in two different scopes and will end in a development process which consumes more time and is more difficult to read/understand (and brings no improvements in terms of quality and stability).
*Please note that Analytics can be disabled by the user.
And to say it clear, if developers aim to harm users, they would implement functionality most users don't think of.
I guess it's not wrong to be interested in tech and feel better to know who made your software.
Regards
Martin

All of this is well and good, but it seems that you're doing it for sake of expediency as opposed to doing that which is within the confines of providing your app to xda users.
Ultimately, I would rather see your app on the forums, and see you staying within the confines of that which xda allows.

Unfortunately it can't work like that on this site. Either you need to provide a license-free version (i.e. XDA version that has core functionality in tact) or you cannot promote your app via email/PM with IDs. Given that your intentions are good, the fact that you want to have Users send their product IDs through their email address that you will inherently have "on-file" constitutes data farming. As simple as it may be, you cannot "require" someone to send you an email from the personal or otherwise email address for full functionality of said app.
With that said, you can however do a few things. The first is the XDA version that has core functionality that runs when installed. When I say core, I mean the core components have to work as advertised, however you can have add-ons that expand the operations of the app for in-app purchase/donation. As long as the app can run its basic functions unimpeded, then that is fine. OR...You can also set up a Beta-Testers group on the Play Store where you can invite Users to help test features and future development. Since that is outside of XDA jurisdiction, that will rely on Google Developer Standards and their policy to implement and enforce.
Sorry and I assume from reading the past few pages that your intention is passive and peaceful, but the rules of the site are clear about this.

Well, what exactly is wrong with the app or the way I am providing this to the users?
If I am not allowed to show my app here, feel free to mark / close / delete this thread. Since the last 7 days 7 user thanked here (some of them twice), I don't see a reason why this should be that bad.
If someone requests a feature I will implement it asap, if someone finds a bug I will fix it asap and if someone need help, I will do my best to help him out finding a proper solution.
Maybe you think I'm planning to reach 10 Mio. users, but that isn't. As I said, I made this app mostly for my own and after some friends tried it, I decided to improve the features. Still studying comp. science, not working as an professional app developer and earning >100k$ p.m..

Given that my intentions are bad and I try to farm data, wouldn't it be much easier and effective to send every snipped the clipboard receives to a server and ship this app (unofficially in a forum) without telling the user where I live / how to contact me?
Keep in mind: Only permission "Internet" is needed and nearly EVERY app is able do this (and there are many of other flaws in the security model).
Sorry, I still don't see a benefit of a xda-version and I still don't see how I can farm data by receiving an ID.

Lol, so you want this on principle?
It's quite simple...there are hundreds of apps on these forums that follow the trajectory of exactly that which has been provided to you...xda version, Play Store version, and none has an issue with it.
I'm not a moderator, but the individual whom responded to you is.
As I noted from my first post on this topic, I think that it would be good for your app to remain on the forums, and also good if you had a paid version on the Play Store. That stated, the xda version cannot have any machinations whatsoever to collect user email addresses or any other identifying information.
If available on xda, you must offer a version of your software that is fully functional, offered at no cost, and requires no identifying information from the user.
That's the standard. Either follow it or don't.

Regardless of whether or not you see a benefit of it, it is what it is. You either need to provide a version that has core functionality without a license or pull your links.
A Guide to Paid Work on XDA-Developers
And it isn't the ID that is used in relation to farming, it is the email from which they come. Case in point, your email is in Post #2. That can be used very easily to gain all sorts of information on you with relatively minimal effort. Requiring someone to send you an email that is outside of the checks of the Play Store venue to gain access to app function is against the XDA rules.
FSM @Perseus will handle this from here, as it is his team's section to moderate.

Given that my intentions are bad and I try to farm data, wouldn't it be much easier and effective to send every snipped the clipboard receives to a server and ship this app (unofficially in a forum) without telling the user where I live / how to contact me?
Keep in mind: Only permission "Internet" is needed and nearly EVERY app is able do this (and there are many of other flaws in the security model).
Sorry, I still don't see a benefit of a xda-version and I still don't see how I can farm data by receiving an ID.

We know that you have nothing but good intentions at heart. This you have made clear in more than one post so far. Which is exactly why the thread is still operational. You have been very forthright in listing the Permissions needed by the app.
Having said that, as I see it, your problem with creating a XDA Edition of the app is that your analytics is fragmented. (rating in GooglePlay and statistics by Google Analytics). I can understand that. But the XDA Rules have been in place to avoid use of XDA as commercial Advertisement for a paid app in Play Store. I know that you have made it pretty clear, that you have no such intentions. But the rules have to be uniformly applied. I hope you understand that. Having said that, there are quiet a few Paid apps listed in Our Community Apps. (Link bellow). They follow a fairly similar model. Specifically the author of BetterBatteryStats app had in past made clear he has the same intentions as you.
Speaking of analytics, you might want to review the subforums of Marketing, Distribution, and Analytics forum. You might want to review following questions in the Analytics subforum
[Q] How do you app developers prefer to track of your apps?
Good alternatives to Google Analytics for Android?
You are welcome to post your question there as well, should you feel like it.
Oh and by the way since this app is not more global for all devices, have you considered listing in XDA Community Apps. Also you might want to consider having your app listed in XDA Labs for additional visibility.

Amen...I think these words should be put at the top of every place on this site where the rules are posted...this is the most succinct and clearly wrought statement of the spirit of xda as I've read.
