[APP] NookCalc - Nook Touch Themes and Apps

NookCalc is a basic, four function calculator designed from the ground up for the Nook Simple Touch. It is optimized for the e-ink display. I wrote this app. The top right page button acts as a dedicated clear button, in addition to the on screen clear button and clear option in the menu.

That looks nice, but 840 kB is way too big an .apk file for what this does.
It should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-20 kB.
You have included android.support.v4 and android.support.v7 when they are not used in the least.
You can delete those from your project.

Nice! It's good to see apps written for the nook.
The calculator looks nice and the e-ink optimization is great,
however, since I don't have anything to calculate just now I just did a bit of stress testing to find that:
a) there seems to be an int overflow on really large nubers, it either crashes or warps to negative.
b) I'm not sure what pressing '=' repeatedly is supposed to do (if anything at all) as it gives weird and inconsistent results.
c) it crashes on division by zero (I HAD to try that )
d) Also, to have a useful division function you really need to use floating point numbers.
It's a nice project, but needs some working on before being a useful calculator

Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. Renate NST I removed the android.support.v7 and it significantly reduced the size of the apk from 837KB to 60.4KB, a 776.6KB difference. I didn't see android.support.v4 in my project. I didn't add any support libraries myself, Android Studio seems to put the support library in new projects and there doesn't seem to be a way to make a new project without the support library.

Hello world
I really enjoyed the idea of putting accelerometr (and another such great stuff) into the smartphone.
Just add software and it becomes live! So, I decided to write my own apllication, which will make use of it.
"Gapple" is a small time-killer game.
The objective is very simple - score hitting positive bubbles and play as long as you can!
I'm going to develop more features (If I won't get bored with it )
I hope you will enjoy this!
Waiting for your feedback! It should work on diamond to!
gapple.comlu.com
Pozdrawiam!
Requirements:
.NET CF 3.5
WM 6.x
Change log
Update 19-09-2009
+ new bubbles added!
+ changed rules: limited number of pointers ("lives") + bombs
+ device sleep disabled
+ improved graphics
Note
Before installing the new version, please remove the old one (Start->Settings->System->Remove Programs) and delete file: gapple.ini from the root directory. It is highly recommended to make soft reset too.
Update 10-09-2009
+ Backlight always on
+ Improved stability
Hey thats not bad, quite addictive!
It is fun I was playing for a while (got a lot of time bonuses) and then it locked up on me. I've attached the screens so you can see the log. Also, the game does not prevent screen dimming - it should override the standard WM direction and prevent the device from going dark.
Hope that helps - I like where it's heading!
Thanks for testing!
@bugsykoosh - nice bug
I'll investigate it.
it's difficult to find the right sensitivity (I'm using 14), but an interesting game
consider disabling backlight time out if possible, as i have to tap on the screen every minute
by the way, my highest score is 308 (272 pts and 180 seconds)

[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.

PopIt!
The time has come to fight your greatest enemy: bubble wrap. The question is: how fast can you PopIt? You have 60 seconds to pop the whole table and set new records, but be careful: don't pop the same bubble twice or you will receive penalty!
This game was developed in 72 hours by two students, as part of an educational project. It is fully open source (as of version 1.0 right now). Don't expect anything big, this game doesn't want to be more than it really is: a way to waste some minutes of your time
<See screenshots attached>

You can use all the code you find in the project for non-commercial purposes. More info
Windows version (requires XNA framework, but no emulator!): http://people.inf.elte.hu/kaasaai/jatekprog/popit/Release.zip
New in version 1.1:
New background (hold to restart text restored)
Unmute sound
Vibration support (we finally managed to get a WP7 device )
First, I believe it's a bubble wrap, not a "bubble warp"
Second, you should change the sound: it's a plastic bubbles not a typewriter

Whoops, thanks for the tip... Corrected in the post, will correct in marketplace when we push out an update
As for the sounds, they were created by me and the current pop sound is the best sample I managed to record. If you have any sound that's public-domain, free, etc then I'm interested
I don't have time for that. Use google, u'll find a lot (no, a LOT! of public domain or low costs ($1-$2) sound effects. But just try to play 'em on handset first to be sure they are sounds realistic (I believe it's very important for games like yours).

The Wars - HD7-B3 Conversion

Decided to have a go at my first bit of dev (if you can call it that ), by converting a game designed around SDK2 and bringing it to the Streak7's Honeycomb screen, It is similar to Cartoon Wars for the iPhone but nowhere near as good.....But it passes the time and can be quite addictive on the hardest setting!
I decided to do this as my youngest lad loves this type of game (as I do too ) I could not find a version other than the ones designed around a small screen device, although the original runs on the Streak7 it displays a small game, also it was an excuse to learn something new
The original game would scale up when the LCD density was set to 160, but this version scales up & lets you keep DJ_Steve's recommended 106 density setting for his HD7-B3 OS, I have not tried it on any other device other than the Streak7 or any other OS other than HD7-B3, so feedback would be appreciated on other Device/OS combo's.....Although I don't expect it to work on anything else other than Streak7-HD combo
The overall process was time consuming to say the least, mostly in the latter stages of fine tuning the .png sizes for paticular images, too big and the game wouldn't load, too small and it left empty bits of screen everywhere.
The programs I used to help me achieve my goals where:
APKTOOL - by Brut.all - For the decompile/recompile of original .apk (must have tool )
.XML Editor - For the obvious
IMAGE CONVERTER PLUS - A brilliant program for batch image conversions that can be profiled to your specific needs
AUTO-SIGN by Dave Da Illest 1 - Which enables you to sign your recompiled .apk (does what it says on the box )
Anyway, have a try for yourself and let me know your results

....As I expected TBH, I rekon the original would work just fine though, but posting that would of been outright piracy IMHO, this is more of a screen mod of the original that is based around the 106 LCD Density setting of HD7, I could of created a few drawable-XXXX folders for the different res, but then this just takes the file size to rediculous levels.
Many thanks for taking the time trying and replying anyway, much appreciated, button pressed!

e-Cigarette Mod with a touch screen and music capabilities - firmware upgradeable

Hey there guys, I'm writing in the off topic section about this e-cigarette I've just got, it's called Joyetech Ocular C and it comes with a color touch screen , music player and photo viewer capabilities , bluetooth conectivity, a pedometer to count your steps and from what I understand, it has around 2Gb of memory , it is firmware upgradeable and I'm wondering if there is more that can be done to it in therms of functionality.
It's true that vapers, the people who smoke e-cigarettes as their called, dont really need any of this functionality in their devices since they mainly use them purely for smoking, it's nice however to have something a little extra to go with it.
I've looked online for custom firmwares or methods to customise your firmware for these type of devices, but i've only found info on old devices that come with small monochrome screens and the most you can do is upload logos on to the device.
My interests are on how you can access the root of the system built into these devices since it must have a processor and a file sistem inside, how to edit some of these files , per example, you have the option to upload around 100 pictures and some songs ( the memory on it is 2GB ) but there's no way of deleting them once uploaded, in case your storage gets full.
Also it would be nice if users could implement or extent more functionality in the device, par example it only suports .jpeg files in the photo viewer , .png &/or .gif to use as a screen saver would be nice, more so even video playback capability .
And before I get laffed at for asking so much out of an electronic cigarette, I think that since it does come from the factory with all these functionalities and hardware, it's a shame they dont use it to it's fullest.
So is there anyone having any clues on how to "get inside" these devices and tuning them up ?
I've included the latest firmware I could find for the device as well as the program they offer for you to upload it onto the device. If anybody could crack it opn and take a look inside and see at least what's in there, that would be a start.
