Need to find the latest news in software? Here's the place to look. Want to be the first to leak information about the new Android? Post it here. Everyone sees software news in their own device's forums but why not post it here for everyone to see?. What's the point of going all over the place to find the most recent software news when you can find it here?
Yes, the XDA portal is a great source for software news but all the information is dependent on what gets approved by XDA staff. Here, you have free reign to post the software related news that matters to you.
And before it's said...yes, there is already a forum for computer and laptop discussion, but it seems to be geared towards the hardware side. This thread is specifically for software news. And I've already checked with Archer so everything is copacetic (no need for ib4l ). Oh, and be sure to post links or it didn't happen.
So, without further ado...
Stop-gap' way to get Linux on Windows 8 machines to be issued
Penguins are playing ball with a Windows 8 Linux-blocking security mechanism to keep their favorite operating system on PCs…
The Foundation plans to obtain a Microsoft key to sign a pre-bootloader from core Linux kernel maintainer James Bottomley. Together, the key and pre-bootloader will allow users to start up and run Linux as an authorised piece of software on Windows 8 PCs –*it would otherwise have been barred by the machine as potential malware.

Flip this app: Secondary mobile app market quietly taking off
App creators without the time or inclination to service or monetize their apps can simply sell them off for a flat, up-front sum of money. Buyers can then either tweak them as they like or not, and either attempt to monetize them themselves or re-sell the apps to still another party.

Hi,
Here's a special XDA preview of my entry for ADC2: Thinking Space
Thinking Space is a Mind Mapping application for Android.
Features include basic compatibility with Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net) and XMind (via Freemind import/export)
Heres a image export from the application, which helps to explain its purpose:

If you are in to Mind Mapping, I would very much appreciate any feedback you have at the moment.
It's been a massive challenge to get this to where it is now in the couple of months since the Android Developers Challenge 2 was announced, so some bits are still a bit rough around the edges, but overall it's quite complete now.
The Cloud support is very basic at the moment, however I hope to have a web frontend soon that will allow you to download your maps and also upload new revisions from your PC.
Thinking Space is freeware, I may even open source it once I've had the oppurtunity to tidy the source up abit!
Edit:
Now on Android market:

cloudify mind map
is a great application! I use it every day since I know the app.
but I have a question about the publication in the cloud.
in which service of google publish your mind map?? in Google Docs??
thx!!!
Hi,
The cloud function uses Google App Engine to the store the maps online.
I've done an update for Droid and Tattoo screens users.
If anyone has a Droid, and particulary a Tattoo, I'd be really interested in hearing any feedback you have!
Any UK devs going to Android Labs on the 19th November?
great app
works great. Thank you
I use the programme for some time and I think it is one of the most beautifully crafted apps.
It is just GREAT!
but where do i find online my maps?
Is there any way to download file
Hello,
I am from Iran and so as you know, google has blocked my country ip's from his market, how can i download this software, please help me
BSODroid is my first Android application. It is a proof of concept implementation of a flaw in Windows Vista, which is so far unpatched (although Microsoft are due to start distributing the patch any moment now), that allows a user to send a Blue Screen of Death to that computer over the network.
Main thread in Development section, but I just thought I'd post it here as I know that most Android users seem to check this section for Android applications, rather than the Development section!

43 downloads and no comments? Anyone out there having some fun with this?
ohhh yea i tried it at few test machines yesterday, it worked both on vista and windows 7RC. Not sure abt windows 7RTM but i think it also works on certain windows 2008 servers. Microsoft whats going onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
They dont have a patch available yet, but they do provide a workaround a registry hack that wont let BSoD comeup.
I d like to know more abt it whats the process here if you dont mind
Didn't work on my Win 7 RTM but thanks for the app.
Does this app can damage the computer / hard disk who gets the BSOD ??
Thanks for tour creation
It's great job.
i search an ip scanner for android ?? if you have information

You mean Win 7 RC
Have almost broken 1000 downloads! (Currently at 950)
If anyone's interested, go ahead and give it a try from the market!
Does it harm your PC or just gives you the bsod?
I want to know if it actually harms the comp as well. If its just a temp thing that doesn't actually do some serious damage this could be pretty fun!
Oh look, somebody found a way to be an Internet Griefer in real life.
Congrats.
Maybe instead of making this harassment app, you should've just reported the flaw to Microsoft through their developer feedback areas?
Security is an important aspect of anything that gets used by anyone, at any given moment around the world. For developers of applications that get purchased through a digital storefront, like Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Marketplace, making sure that it’s not easy, next to impossible in fact, to steal apps and put them on a device free-of-charge is just as important. But, as WPCentral reports, it looks like the Digital Rights Management (DRM) security tools set in place by Microsoft have been cracked!

Fortunately, though, the program that is being used to do so is not known to the general public. In point of fact, the “white hat” developer that created it is just showing it as a proof of concept. If the program were to make it out into the world, then it would be possible for some people out there to strip the DRM from applications available in the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace, and then download them for free.
As of the time of this writing, Microsoft hasn’t made an official comment regarding the security hole. WPCentral has been in contact with Brandon Watson from Microsoft, but so far they have not heard back from him. The video demonstrating the proof of concept program making short work of DRM for the Windows Phone 7 applications can be viewed below.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=flqB9WCkGiQ
I hope they fix this security hole soon. I'm not even a developer and I see this as a really big problem for the WP7 platform. I'm sure iPhone and Android developers do not have to be as worried about pirating only because the volume of paying customers is so much higher. With a much smaller customer base, anything that would discourage a WP7 developer from developing for the platform is bad for WP7.
Note: Shouldn't this be posted in the WP7 General forum? It has nothing to do with HD7.
is this video realy evidense that this is working?
Do you know about Gboxapp toolbar? I have seen there are many people have too problem with installing this toolbar. But I can’t get this problem. It’s offered now a search engine name: search.gboxapp.com for solution installation problems.

What’s in the Box?
Think of the Gboxapp as a jack-in-the-box, in which there are many goodies that await your discovery. Whether its utilities or games you want to make use of, this box has what you need. When you first download it from the Gboxapp website, there are about 16 various applications that are ready for use. One example is the calculator, which obviously does not require any explanation with its purpose. If you are looking to cut down on what you eat, there is also a calorie calculator app in the box. Now, if you’re stressed out from work and want to sit back and relax, you can play the classic Pacman game in it as well. These apps are just scratching the surface as there are so many more functions with this box.
For more information please visit our site: gboxapp.com

1. Right Click on the desktop and select gadget from the menu.
2. To add the gadget box to your desktop simply double click on it. It will be automatically appears on the right side of your desktop screen.

I use this "market" (better "repository") of Free and Open-Source apps for Android.
I've also put there my app.
There's a thread about it (quite old), that was closed by an admin, because suspected of advertising.
Apart from the fact that it's all about free and open-source, I don't even get the point.
Anyway, since here we are in the "App Stores" section, I think it's OK.
(Just to be clear, I'm not the same user)
http://f-droid.org/
In F-droid, is necessary to publish your source code?
F-Droid is only for open-source apps, so yes.
shelpsom addressed
Just found F Droid and yeah nice idea with only open source software
and F Droid is the standard market app for the Replicant project fully open source Android
Using this since 1 year and its pretty awesome to have an open market is there any reason why there are no pictures of the apps are shown in f-droid?

Does anyone know anymore repos for this?
This is helpful, especially for me who doesn't like to search for myself most of the time.
I check F-Droid daily and have found a few very cool and interesting projects that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. Many thanks!
:-/
Hello?
Any F-Droid users out there?

Recently upgraded to Zuk Z2 Pro with AEX 5.4 Oreo 8.1.0, and gave the “new” F-Droid a go.
All I have to say is I can perfectly remember and understand why I never upgraded from 0.102.x on my old Falcon XT1032: buggy, confusingly filled with crap I'll never use, the installed apps list shows erroneous entries… what a fLIck1ng piece of sh1t! :silly:
Deserved final score: garbage.
I apologise to the creators of this app if this sounds somewhat gross, but in my opinion the old versions' interface is a lot better, quite a lot.
Anyone out there thinks sort of the same?
Cheers
F-Droid down?
Hello,
for about 2 hours I try to get in contact with the PC to the website of F-Droid.
"404 Not found."
Also the download via the F-Droid app does'nt work.
Is the page down?
