[Q] [FEEDBACK WANTED] Privacy Aware S5830 ROM - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings!
Let's see if I can explain everyting, so bear with me.
I have a custom ROM, made by myself, just for me, with privacy and security in mind. At the moment it's just a few scripts to perform the actual changes based on a clean CM7 nightly (very very, and I mean very, ugly scripts).

}
If there is enough demand on the forum I might share this in a decent release format, or at least invest some time into trying it.
Main details of the system:* Android 2.3.7
* PDroid patch
* AdAway
* DroidWall
* Replaced Browser with Dolphin Browser
* Everything works fine (at least that I know)
* Battery works quite well (but this is a hot topic, so just take it as it is)
* It's fast, I have absolutely no compains at all
* No Google Apps (sorry, I don't trust them) - Note: The Maps libraries are there, because some apps need them​At the moment I also have:* CalDav and CardDav sync to an owncloud server (which works amazingly well)
* Owncloud client (don't trust dropbox)
* ADWLauncher ('cause shinny )
* Google Car Home (it's quite handy and sends no data to them :angel: )
* K-9 Mail
* KeePassDroid (for the passwords, this plus owncloud = password manager everywere)
* Papyrus Ex
* RealCalc
* Pimp My Rom
* RealPlayer​I want to emphasize that privacy + security is a must.
No Play Store, nothing like that.
Although you can install it with a script, but that would be evil and kitties would surely cry. See pic. Relevant to this post.
Figure 1: Picture of a kitty cat crying unicorn blood.
To download the apps, I either use a Virtual Machine running android, or I restore a nandbackup of a vanilla system with the Play Store, just to download the packages, use Titanium Backup to extract the apks and then revert back to the real system I use daily.
Why am I asking this?
Because I'm quite aware the ROM might be improved and I would like to have some bashing and feedback from the community in order to make it better. So do your worst
Why 2.3.7?
Because everything works and the rest is just looks, you can customize it very well (I hate the default 2.3 and love the 4 interface, but I'm quite quite happy with what I have now). No adventures on 4.0.4 and such, if you want that, this is not for you.
If you would be interested in this, answer the pool at the top.
At least 250 interested users and I will work on it.​

Pretty neat idea. I'm looking forward to the release. are you theming it to look like 4.0.x?

Screen shots ?and you should install playstore lib files or include a patch for it or you will get flooded with how to do it and alot of people use alot of Google apps still and simtool kit is a must for a load of users too personally it sounds good and I could use it as I'm a advanced user good luck

The simtool kit is there as well. Regarding the google libs, yes you can install them easily with a script. Actually its the other way around, you run a script to remove them.
The screenshots are a bit pointless since you can customize it to anyway you want, nonetheless I have added them.

nice find! Thanks!
Yes its a very nice program been using it for a min! My twitter s/n is TheRealHotshot if anyone wanna follow me :-D
Yeah, have been using this for a while and it's great. Developer is great at addressing issues as well.
Does this use text message or data?
data
of course it's use data, but there's a way to get notified from twetter by sms or instant messaging
AWESOME, really im a twitter addicted and i hav almost all twitter's app on my raph, and bang THE one comes from u thanks a million times!
I'm trying it. Add me on twitter, thespazz!
Wow!! This is a great app!!
hellz yeah. this is hot
Nice. I'll give it a go
Thought I'd bump this.
Also want to concur. . I LOVE this app. Very nicely done!
I am using twikini at the moment but will give this a try.
The automatic updates are great. I've used other apps since but PockeTwit is the best IMO
Great app...
I've been liking PocketTwit for a little while now. The only complaint I have about it is that it can be a little slow from time to time, but other than that, it's great.
I really like the interface, it's clean, well designed, and easy to use. However, I find myself using the soft buttons more than my finger to slide left and right. If I slide up or down while moving left and right, I end up either not moving to the menu and the screen snaps back to the feeds or I end up clicking the wrong menu on accident.
i have been using twikini i think its called. works great
pocketwit def uses data an not sms when using it from the phone?? this was something i was concerned about only cause i dont have an unlimited sms plan an dont want to get screwed lol....but yea this app is def hands down the best by far an have been using only this!!!
Fantastic app. Love the UI. Finallly, I can stop going to my iPod for twitter
errors with 3.7 net
im guessing it not compatible with net 3.7 .... i tried this on a different rom running 3.5 and it looks and works great nice app. I tried with energy rom(phenixs) and no luck
very user-friendly... have been using it for quite some time now... anyone who has twitter should have this program...

[App] sabHub

Hi Guys,
sabHub has just gone live in the marketplace! As the name suggests it is a client that will interface with your sabnzbd+ install
Functionality at the moment includes:
-View Queue
-View History
-Add NZB via Newzbin ID
-Delete Individual Download
-Pause Individual Download
-Clear History
-Remove individual history items.
-Landscape view supported and shows more detailed information
It has a trial and costs €1.29 for the paid version however the only difference is the presence of a small ad on the 'Add NZB' page. So no time limitation or reduced functionality. However only paid up customers will get the Live Tile functionality when it is introduced (which will be very soon!).
Cheers,
Bean

Thanks for sharing!
just a Q... why have the refresh and the settings icons in the top left/right instead of following the rest of the apps by having it in the bar at the bottom where they belong?
@Gate Keeper A couple of reasons for this.
Firstly- The Microsoft UX Guidelines published say don't put a application bar on a panorama control which is what my UI is based around
Secondly- adding the application bar to the panorama control will reduce the usable space of the list which in portrait mode is pretty limited as it is.
Thirdly-There is a lot of dead space at the top of the panorama control that I wanted to make the most out of!
If you look at the eBay app, that's where I got the inspiration for the settings/refresh buttons- which I think in a panorama context work quite well.
no worries, just thought i'd ask, wasn't have a dig at you or your app, sorry if it sounded like that. and yes i have noticed it on the ebay app, just not with the corner overlays that's all.
Just installed and works great! Good job!
One thing though, the Get API code thing didn't just get the code, it also got a load of the HTML so didn't work. I'm using SabNZBD 0.5.3, not the latest version, maybe that caused a problem?

no i didnt take it that way at all! I'm still finding my feet with wp7 development. any feedback on UX design etc is most welcomed and always good to start a discussion on these things!
@adamwebb28- Thanks for the feedback I'll look into the issue. Obviously a html scraping issue. I'm not on the latest version either so I'll have to see what the HTML layout changes are or come up with a more robust way to scrape the api key that will work across versions.
Hi There, I just purchased the Non-Ad version. Excellent stuff. any Idea when we'll be able to use other repositories like NzbMatrix . Any Idea how i'd get a newsbin ID? Cheers
@smoothbond thanks for supporting the app!
My eventual goal is to have a full newzbin/nzbmatrix search tool for WP7, whether this is in the form of a separate app or integrated into sabHub i'm not sure yet.

[APP][2.2+][V1.0 ALPHA] Facade | Simple. Social | Bring social circles together!

WHAT IS FACADE?

}
Facade is a simple app that brings your social circles together under one platform!
Screenshots
WHY I NEED IT?
How many times your find yourself in a situation when you need to post same status update 4 times? or upload same picture 4 times? One for Facebook/ One for Twitter/ One for Sina Weibo (for Chinese users) / One for LinkedIn (Business related)
Sooner or later, two possible outcomes:
1. You spend your day updating your social life and the fun thing becomes painful
2. You give up one circle. say, twitter. And your high school friends on twitter complains.
With Facade, you can manage all your social status update with a simple click of button. You can simple tap on the icons to choose this message goes to which network (facebook/twitter update, or everything update).
You can also, pull all statuses update from all social circles into one place and view them, like them, retweet them or comment them.
Facade DOES NOT requires you install those apps like others do.
Facade DOES NOT separate your social updates like others do.
WHAT ARE KNOWN ISSUES
This is alpha built. Sorry about the rough edges:
1. The settings UI is pretty ugly. And please only enter numerical numbers in the options. (I know it is a simple fix and I expect to clear it tonight)
2. After commenting your facebook update, the texts are not cleared (so they stayed there) , nor there is a feedback message telling you the posting is successful or not
3. It takes about 30 seconds initially to have your status pulled from the social sites, which has no UI message to tell the users. The user may click reload button but nothing come out in first 30 seconds are they log into the social sites.
But it will populate in about 30 seconds - 45 seconds depending on network speed. I need to add interactive message to let user wait a bit.
4. the full picture is rendered too small. You can click to view the full picture but still, the default full picture in each status is too small.
WHAT FEATURES WILL BE ADDED?
New features and bug fixes are happening on a daily basis. Currently I am planning
> Add Facebook "Like" button
> Add fun Smileys to make user's posting experience much better.
> Add System wide sharing to Facade option so that you can share anything to
Facade (currently only pictures)
> Make the UI more fun and cool and usable.
> Make it more efficient , less power consuming.
WHAT DOES THE DEV NEED
1. your support! Simply be feedback to me is enough
2. your testing! Please, if you don't mind, whenever it crashes, please use Google's reporting to send me an email about the crash. No personal information is logged.
3. your feedback in general! New Features! Bug reports (either here or through google crash reporting)
DOWNLOAD LINK In Google Play Store (PLEASE EXPECT NIGHTLY BUILT ON THIS!
Public beta in market is up. Thanks any kind feedbacks!

New Build.
Mainly for bug fixes.

[App][2.2+] Grand Theft Auto Vice City Cheats

I would like to introduce an application that provides with Vice City cheats for Android devices. Application provides with on-screen button that displays all available cheats when pressed. The 'Cheats' button can be easily accessed from the game. Once the cheat has been picked from the list, it will be displayed at the top of the screen as well as the keyboard which will allow user to type in the code.
Benefits:
* Quick access to all available cheats
* Button with transparency to make sure that underneath content can be viewed
* Cheats are nicely categorised
* By pressing the cheat from the list, the code that needs to be typed in will automatically appear, along with the keyboard, on the top of the screen for 10 second so that there is no need to keep the code in mind
* If we already know code for the cheat and just want to display the keyboard, there is a button for that too
* Application can be easily disabled from the cheats list
Permissions:
*Draw over other apps - It is needed to have the 'Cheats' button displayed on the top of the game
Please note that:
* Some cheats might crash the game
* Some cheats might not be working on Android version of GTA
Disclaimer:
All associated logos, images and video games are trademarks of Take 2 Interactive Software, Inc. This is an unofficial cheats application and I am not affiliated with developers or publishers of the Grand Theft Auto series.

Regards :victory:
EDIT 09/04/13: I have updated this thread as I have uploaded new apk package as the previous one was including copyrighted image.
The best vice city cheats app for android.Nice design and it's inexpensive.Works great on my Sony Xperia Z!:good:
wow, It's ok
I Love this game in smart phone
thanks :good:
I'm glad you like it
My app got removed for copyright issues I guess it was because of the image that was appearing on a splash screen. I have uploaded new apk package which doesn't include the copyrighted images.
It seems as though this link (to the updated version) is no longer good, or has itself been pulled. Is there a further iteration of the program or a direct download of the APK available?
I'd be extremely pleased if I could get my hands on something like this without either being asked to pay or forced through a half-dozen labours. I'm amazed by how difficult it turns out to be to get something relatively simple like this (invoke input/send string, essentally) done given the various workarounds that need to be implemented to do it (not to mention how awful and scary are the popular listed solutions/keytrainer IMEs in the Play store; how some of those malware-boats can be tolerated is beyond me) without either being able to write code or jerry-rig a chain of resource-intensive device-based solutions.
very good job
You post has made VC so entertaining...
Very Good Job
Very Good Job
Nice job. Thanks
Thank you
I love to play on the smartphone Vice City
App not available anymore, is there any link to apk?
