hi guys,
sometimes you see a screenshot and you want to know what's that for an app or feature. So I thought to open a thread where you can post these things you can't live without it. I'm interested and searching for new things - so let's post!
So I would start:
For me it's an app called swapps. It's like the @ppbar who's integrated in some custom roms. See the screenshot.
Play Store link.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992163
Not sure it is related to N4...
Anyway this might be interesting but this app you talk about, I don't see the point as you can do it with recent apps or simply go back to home screen?!
(Sorry about negativeness of this comment^^, this is a good idea to discover interesting apps though)

Not sure if anyone else found this or if it is in other ROMs but in 2.3.4 HKTW ROM you can customize the app launched by double tapping the home button to whatever you want. You just need to change the line 'double_tap" in the settings storage (com.motorola.blur.providers.settings) settings.db. It requires you to put in the <full app name>/<full app process> (not sure the way I said that is right) like com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.im/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.im.YahooMessenger
Just realized I probally should have put this in general not Dev....sorry. Dev's if you can put this into an app or something that be sweet too.
I thought you can change that in settings in froyo.. Can you not in gb?
Xda app via atrix
In stock froyo for ATRIX there was a limited number of options for double tapping home

Yes, but this trick work also on froyo..
In settings storage->settings.db->settings->double_tap
I think it would be good to be part of atrix mods app!! NFH should add this!

sorry, i don't want to be the bad guy, but i have seen this on all stock firmwares...nothing new, just another great "dev" post, like the haptick feedback one...
please let keep this forum clean for real developing mods. Use general for discovered little things.

orly? You can set the home double tap to launch yahoo instant messenger with your stock motoblur launcher?
Ooo I see. Cool I can maybe launch swipe pad with this.

Yea thank you for explaining to me that which I already mentioned in my own post (That it should have went in General).
what is the string if i want to set phone wakeup/sleep if double tap
I don't think you can. Problem is two fold.
1) you need an app to call
2) the touchscreen turns off when the screen is off and if this did not happen then it would cost a lot of battery life.

Does anyone has a youtube apk that switches to HD mode? sorry if this has been anwered somewhere, but bored of searching google for another half an hour.
Thanks a lot
edit0: I can't see this thread in the forum, i guess no one else does either. If found by a mod, please delete, i posted it in the QA section again (it belongs there anyway)
thanks!
edit1: and now it's there... what's going on..
I am unaware of any hacks to the youtube app to enable HD for the galaxy s but I would most certainly love to have one.
Was reading over in the SGS2 forum that you have to change the dpi to enable it. It appears as though it is only for high resolution devices. The thread was in their general forum.

Hi XDA !
I've been a fellow reader of XDA forum for a long time and today i'll cross the line and become a poster !
I'm here to introduce you to my first app on the google play store.
I'm new on android development so please be indulgent.
The app is a livewallpaper which allows you to choose from different cities and sets the wallpaper assigned to that city.
All the wallpapers comes from Google Now.
Each city has got 4 wallpapers wich switch depending on the time it is.
The settings are currently in french but i will translate them soon.
It's free and there's no ad.
Here is a link to the play store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuuji.googlenowwallpaper
(sorry can't post link because i'm a noob on xda =/)
I attached some screenshots.
Don't hesitate to give me feedbacks and impressions.

Good job, its minimalist but in the Google spirit's - 5 Stars :good:
good vote+1
Good job! But they're petty low-res is there no way to get higher resolution pictures? I suppose you pulled the pictures from the Google now app. Maybe you could get higher resolution pictures by changing your phone into believing it's a high resolution device like the nexus 10?
Not Found?
Did this get taken down?
Are any mirrors available for this?

Thanks I'll try it.
Yes it has been removed by google and i'm trying to contact them to put it back online but a guy stole the idea from me and publish the same app as me with the same name.
Xda even made an article on the thief

Do you have your app hosted anywhere?
Please contact the site admins to let them know the other guy stole your app.
Love the app. Sorry about the thief. Hopefully that gets resolved. I do have an issue though. As I scroll to the side the wallpaper doesn't display the whole image. I swipe to the side and the image will scroll but the most I ever see is about half that of the total image. Any ideas how I could fix this?
I have tried changing the number of home screens (3-7) but the same issue remains. Being from Seattle I am using the Seattle WP and I can only see as far to the right as the Android. Everything else like the stadiums and mountain are not visible.

Yes, your new link works.
Installed it at work so I can't really play with it yet but there is a weird little headphone and chrome something icon with a line through it at the bottom left of the main screen that doesn't do anything. I probably need to be on the same network and the app to see my chromecast for whatever that is to do something but just thought I'd mention it.
Suggestions:
1) Add a check on app start to notify if it can't find the chromecast on the network
2) Ask to enable wifi for same reason as #1
3) Add Widget(s) for the app (Granted I haven't used the app to it's full potential yet to determine what the widget could/should have)

How come this is the only chromecast app in the store every other developer is saying that google hasn't allowed developers to release apps yet I think it has something to do with the beta sdk or something

Maybe because this is using an API for controlling the Chromecast but it's not actually pushing video to it.

Don't know about other, but I can tell you one thing : Google released all the stuff a developer could need to develop apps for it and there's no limitation to publish what they want. Here's the catch though, their API is somehow limited for clients and are meant for services like Netflix or Hulu to implement their own media player remote. Sending content to the Chromecast is a very different thing (and is potentially the most interesting). Koush wrote a few things about it on his Google+ page, I recommend checking it out as well as his workaround.

Do you have any plans to post your source code? I'd love to take a look at it.
I'm strongly considering it but not immediately. There's a lot of changes going on in the codebase still and a little bit of house cleaning before I can start thinking of releasing it. Maybe in a couple months from now. If you need to look at some chromecast code, samples do pretty much the same =)

Been following some forums here again after a break due to the frustration from the format change, so I thought I'd try installing the XDA app again - and I'm sorry, I find it completely unusable.
The old app was very user friendly, brought up your participated and following easily - in the new app, even when I search the forums for a topic, it brings up a bunch of unrelated cr*p. Now, perhaps the forum I'm looking for is in there somewhere, but I don't have time for that.
No doubt there were good reasons for the new format and new app, but not gonna lie - they aren't apparent from this user's perspective. Uninstalled again.
