A new version of the Mozilla Firefox browser for Android has been released, under the company’s “Fennec” codename. As well as browsing, Mozilla have also whipped up a version of Weave to synchronize bookmarks, history, passwords and tabs between the desktop and mobile versions.
There are a couple of issues to bear in mind – this is an pre-alpha release, after all – with the biggest limitation being that the browser currently requires Android 2.0 or above. You’ll also probably need to have an OpenGL ES 2.0 capable device, you can’t open links from other apps in Fennec as yet, and there are bugs that will chomp through your available memory and likely end up forcing you to reboot the phone altogether.
Still, if you want to give it a try then head into your Android phone’s settings, check the option that allows you to install non-Android Market apps, and then head here for the package. Initial feedback seems to be that the UI needs some work, especially when trying to scroll without triggering the browser’s controls.

Attention Android Themers! Project Theme Manager is a Go!
We are opening our newest project to the public in Beta form. Now is your chance if you want to be a part of this exciting new project!
The public website is at http://n3xgenapps.com and registration is free and open.
To Android Themers:
We need your assistance in getting this project off the ground. Without your themes in the public listing, this project is completely useless. For that reason, we are not releasing the Android App just yet. I'm sure you know the public would tear it apart in the market with bad reviews for lack of theme choice and 1 stars, etc.
Feel free to join us on Freenode IRC (#N3xGenApps) at any time for more information or to give some feedback, or even just to chat.
To the rest of the public:
The android app is in the market and FREE to everyone! Go grab your copy and get your theme on! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.n3xgenapps.theme.manager
Thanks, and as always, enjoy!
N3xGen Theme Manager has just been updated!
We've added the ability for developers to include their themes in multiple types and categories now, which means its now even easier to find the themes you're looking for.
New App Features
★ New icon and theme! - Thanks Kovdev!
★ You can now view an image in full screen.
★ Bug fixed (Hopefully, let me know if otherwise via email).
★ Added an all apps tab inside each theme section.
New Site Features
★ Added a donate button.
★ Developers can now have multiple categories per theme.
★ A new advanced edit screen to edit your existing themes.
More changes are in the near future as well.

Nice app - telling all my friends to add their themes in
Presumably once non-market themes can be uploaded MIUI themes could be added too.

Right now it only downloads themes from the market like ADW, LP, GOLauncher, and ThemeChooser. But we are working on adding in developer uploads (and/or outside linking to files), which will allow for rooted theming to take place (update.zip and metamorph, etc).
very nice, very fast. More theme and this is the best app for themes XD i love it
http://n3xgenapps.com/blog/Compatibility-fixes-with-Theme-Manager-app-now-in-market!
We've fixed some compatibility issues and now support down to 2.1 Eclair API (update is in the market). This should make the app more widely available among devices.
We also have an apk for 1.6 Donut API, but we're still testing it at the moment. Expect to see this pushed to market later tonight or early tomorrow.
Question regarding the themes - let's say I'm a themer from a google-checkout-unsupported-country (thank you, google...) and I have a LP theme I've put on sale through paypal, for a buck - and I'd like to expand the audience.
Shortly - does this hypothetical (ekhm, http://blazingdroid.blogspot.com/2011/08/dark-metro-solid-black.html ) theme has to be already available in the android market as a paid app if I'd like to submit it to you (which means you don't handle the accounting), or somehow you've just discovered a savior-solution for a lot of people who are in a situation like mine?
Because, you know, that would be simply awesome. Paypal mobile payments library perhaps? Simple concept - theme preview in Theme Manager, user taps buy button > webView opens within the app (users don't like the browser popping up), user inputs his paypal credentials (or the browser, if it already had them rembered)> user taps buy button > theme apk automatically downloads to a folder on sd card, Theme Manager applies it. Done. Snappy.
EDIT
feature request - fullscreen preview screenshots. The existing ones, well, they're available, but my guess is users want bigger ones. More details.

I wish there was a way to do that, but unfortunately we are requiring all paid themes submitted to our app to be directed through the official android market (for legal reasons).

EDIT: Actually, this is already been updated and is in the market.
Yup, just been reading your site, the update notice.
Screenshots yeah
Fast responsive developer - tick.
Great idea for an app - tick.
Neat, jazzy execution - tick.
Ease of use - tick.
Large theme database - pending.
You know where it goes? To a sccessfull business model.
Lots of normal, xda-unaware users would gladly see a tool for better theme management. This is it. With time, it will get more publicity. Become more popular. Spread as the preferred way, easy, hassle-free way to apply themes - at least for the standard users.
Cause installing a custom rom and theming it top to bottom requires root, and root requires lose of warranty, and 95% of people like their warranties more.. Plain simple.

Edit: Just added my theme.
Feature request - clickable hyperlinks in the theme description. They're kinda vital for the ease user experience You know, quick setup guide [here], some hints [there], a resource pack of icons, walls [there], contact dev [my site].
small bug - '&' turns into '&'
Updated the app and the site.
Details in O.P.
Enjoy!
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!
Github-

(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.
I'm the developer of atmosHere (play on words of atmosphere) Weather for Android, an Android app to make weather smarter, and simpler. The app is "Card UI" based, similar to that of Google Now, and is powered first and foremost by the hyper accurate Forecast.io. By using Google's Fused location Provider, we can get your exact location and get down to the minute weather information, all while also getting data for the upcoming week! The app prioritizes information based on the current weather conditions. So if there is a weather alert for your location, that will be the first card you will see! Similar concepts are used else where, if it's raining or snowing, you will get a card for nearby traffic accident counts. This pattern is used throughout the app. This makes it extremely simple to get glance-able information about what is going on right now, and other data that applies based on the conditions. The card ui also makes it simple to fling down a little further for the upcoming week weather, chances of rain, device sensor readings (barometric pressure, temps, etc), pollen counts, UV index, astronomy information, and many more! The app is also extremely configurable, by allowing users to toggle what information they want to see, allowing them to personalize the data they get within the app!
Just recently (last night) I added a new feature that I have yet to see from any other Forecast.io powered app. Forecast.io provides TONS of information, but for the normal person it is hard to parse through all the data given and make sense of it and what it means for the weather. So i have taken the data given, and "pre-parsed" it in a sense, and turned it into a friendly, readable, format when needed. For example, forecast.io provides a summary for a given days' forecast, "Breezy starting in the afternoon, continuing until the evening." and then this is where I come in and add additional, relevant information. So if there is a high chance of rain in the forecast, I will add precipitation information, "75% chance of rain, with light rain starting at 5pm". This gives you the chance of rain, how heavy it will be (can range from very light to very heavy), and then the forecasted time of that precipitation! I also do the same for the given temperature. So you may see "High for today of 35, with a low of 25" and if it will "feel" warmer or cooler than the given temperature, it will also let you know! This makes the forecast for every day personalized and relevant, and lets you very quickly flip to a given day's forecast and know exactly what the forecast is. No need to flip through charts of data, and stare at numbers trying to make sense of them!
The app also features data from other services to aid with contextual information, such as traffic conditions, marine and ski conditions, latest earthquake information, and even a feed of National Weather Service Audio Streams! This will be built out even further going forward, allowing users to custom tailor the weather information they are shown!
The app also features radar data of all types, from precipitation, to weather alerts, and plenty more! Your Android standards such as widgets, notifications, and even extensions for the ever popular DashClock and Muzei are included! The app has already been optimized for Android Wear once it is released to the public. Google Glass has not been forgotten either, as there is a build ready to go for when Google Opens up GDK app distribution!
I have a G+ community setup that I am posting information about updates, bugs, and asking random questions for possible future updates. I will also answer any questions or I am open to just good old conversation! I am always open to suggestions of new ideas for the app. It's been extremely enjoyable thus far getting that app to where it is, and look forward to keeping that going. I also have no problem answering any emails if you prefer taking that route. The about section of the app includes all contact information you could ever need.

I have been doing weekly releases, and the app has improved tremendously over the last few weeks. We are now sitting in the top 30 in free weather app!
I have also worked on a free version, as some people have seemed hesitant to purchase without being able to really try the Card UI style out first.
So atmosHere Weather Free has been published just today!

atmosHere Weather is now being featured on Google Play!
Feel free to join the G+ Community as well to follow development, make suggestions, or report bugs! There's a current Reddit thread right now as well.
I bought this the other day for my brand new Note 4. After installing all it would do is tell me i was running an unlicensed version. Pretty odd behavior considering i bought it via the play store. Had to request a refund pretty much immediately. Shame. I liked the look of this.
New S21 Ultra user here.
Upon opening the Galaxy Store I was greeted with some recommended app suggestions, all from Samsung officially.
Numerous booster & guardian apps..
My question is, do I need them, if so, why aren't they preinstalled?
If I don't need them, why are they developed and recommended to Samsung users?
Thank you in advanced!
Battery Tracker, the rest of the Galaxy apps are junk.

Well, I understand your question. If they're useful why not include them? If we don't need them why make them?
I think the answer lies in the fact that these were "labs" apps. They made these apps as tests and to try things out. Some of them are useful, some weren't, perhaps, as cool as they had hoped. They're not included in the ROM because they're just apps they developed as experiments. It's likely that the GoodLock apps will see inclusion at some point. They could also be merged into the base software and not be considered separate. For now you're free to try them out and see if you like any of them. If so, great, keep it. If you don't use some of them or find them stupid then delete them.
