https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sferadev.geekthetime.companion
I will clean up the Pebble part and push it in few hours

And it's published! Version 1.0-PREVIEW
Without more delays: https://apps.getpebble.com/applications/53ff4974c20483149c000152
Enjoy

The final dates are near and the Nerdy Pigs want to play with the Training dummies. Just yesterday I presented the first preview.
But since then loads of features came across:
- Nerdy Pig #1: Current IP, we all like to know what IP we are on!
- Nerdy Pig #2: GitHub server status, what if someone DDoS it!
- Nerdy Pig #3: Random memes, courtesy of AutoMeme
- Nerdy Pig #4: XDA Portal news @AdamOutler
- Nerdy Pig #5: BTC Value in USD | EUR | GBP
- Nerdy Pig #6: Android Police
- Nerdy Pig #7: Phandroid @rayfin
- Training Dummy #1: Misc improvements
- Training Dummy #4: Propose new quotes
Pending pigs and dummies till now are:
- Training Dummy #3: Loading Activity, to ensure you have a Pebble connected!
- More yet to come!
With that said you can realize that the commit history is kinda funny... And GeekTheTime will not only show random geek quotes but satisfy any Geek need on-the-go, like checking what's the server status of GitHub...

Awesome! Now I just need a Pebble

Final Steps
Alright the competition ends in few days and I'm glad to announce that Geek The Time is already fully working.
The current work in progress though is:
- Squash a couple of bugs
- Clean Up code
- Update style
- And start the marketing campaign, you know write some cool stuff, get promoted...
Thanks to all who are downloading the app and doing in-depth testing. Between today or tomorrow the final version should be up on Google Play and Pebble AppStore.
Also the repos will be open sourced as promised and you will be able to read some funny commits huh!
See you fellows, this has been an amazing contest!

And it's opensource!
I've just made public all the involved repos. More info and links on the original post!

Right now I'm polishing everything for the end of this awesome challenge. What it started as a simple watchface that showed some movies and geek quotes now allows you to read news, including the XDA portal, to check the weather and even know the current bitcoin value in different currencies. If you need to remember something, just type a custom sentence there. And all the content gets updated every few minutes.
This is the ultimate geek app!

[APP] BloomDroid (Bloomberg application for Android)

Sorry guys, Bloomberg asked me to discontinue the development of this app. So I'm removing the download link and will not continue to work on this
Hi everyone,
I have begun to work on a financial application for Android. It is called BloomDroid. As the name suggests, this application retreives data from Bloomberg data system (ie the website:mobile.bloomberg.com).
The version I post here is a very early beta and I'm planning to add many more features (of course limited with what bloomberg offers on its website)
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The app is not available in the Android Market for now. I want it to mature a little before then.
You can download the app from: (app removed by request from bberg)
It requires full internet access permission for internet access and sd card write access to store charts.
It downloads 7-8 kb per query, so be careful if you do not have an unlimited plan.
Features:
- Retreive company name, description, price and change(%) for given quote. You must provide company ticker in XXXX:YY form, XXXX is the ticker for company, YY is the country code. such as GOOG:US, 4338:HK, GGQ1:GR, AAPL:US, 2788:JP
- Lookup for company ticker
Planned:
- A list of equities (like in stock Stocks program)
- News from Bloomberg
- Markets and currencies.
- Maybe a widget.
Changelog:
19/12/2009 - v.0.0.2
- Now you have a stock list!!
- Charts are saved on sdcard/bloomdroid
- many many bug fixes
21/10/2009 - v.0.0.1
- Bug fixes.
19/10/2009 - v.0.0.0
- Initial release.
- Can retreive any quote on Bloomberg web site.
that is a cool idea. i want a better widget for stock portfolio
cracking little app, love it!
I've released an update for this app.
Would like to hear the comments of investor members
will it work with milestone?
It's cool !
Is it possible to draw a simple and advanced technical chart i.e. simple moving average, rsi, stochastic, cci, bollinger band, macd,
It would be perfect if the above wish list become real.
please don't forget to make WVGA version, thanks.

Is this app dead or is the developer still updating it? Hope so bc I love BB's commodities, futures and currency quotes.
Hey guys, app is not dead.. Just I didn't get enough encouragement to continue working on it. But now that I see at least 3 new users , I'll resume working on it as soon as I have some free time.
Please make an update for 800*480 for my htc desire!
Bloomberg official app is the only thing i envy from iphone users..!
Sorry guys, I've stopped working on this after being approached from BloomBerg to halt development. We have to wait for their official app I guess.
did they mention when theyd think theyd release it?

[App] My Workout

Hey guys, as some of you may know, i've been working for a while now on my app, My Workout.
Here is the description of My Workout:
"My Workout allows you to save your workout routines to an easy to access, easy to read schedule. My workout also has a stopwatch included for rest time between sets and a 1 rep max calculator. Important tools for the gym!

}
I've been a busy coder on this one.
Recently i've added the following features:
Ability to import exercises from previously entered routines
and just now The Ability to share your workout (export) via email!
Currently the app in the market is version 1.5.0.0 and works really well, it however doesn't have the last two additions.
Build 1.7.00 will include both of these. I am currently waiting for build 1.6.00 to be approved (that includes the import exercises from previous exercise) feature and unfortunately for the testers will be immediately submitting 1.7.00 for approval.
The app is free, check it out and give a review.
Here are some videos of some of the older builds:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVoqy0xYmNg (that is build 1.3)
Thanks,
microhaxo
Update added to market!
http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=0b90f4cd-9dd5-df11-a844-00237de2db9e
- free as always.
Beautiful!
Would have liked to see an option for using metric units as well (Kg vs LBS). I'm living in Europe where we use the (logical) SI-system.
Good work!
Thanks for the comment! I'll add the option for metric units in the next update.
updated to support KG. Also allow for a total reset of saved routines.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this! I work out 4 days a week and this will be great to use

Welcome, i'm glad i could help out a fellow gym member.
Ok guys, this is getting a little frustrating..
I need people to try my app out and give me some feedback.
This is the most recent feedback:
Godless Biker:
"Feels like a placeholder for an app that actually does something"
I am not sure how to even take that...
When i read something like that this is what goes through my mind (biased of course since i wrote the app)
1. Did they even read the description????
2. Did they even attempt to use the app???
3. Do they even know how windows phone 7 ui works?
4. Im surprised they were able to rate the app seeing as though they weren't competent enough to use it. (sorry, anger..)
It's frustrating that i am unable to know why they think that way.
So i am asking you guys. Please if you workout at the gym please give the app a try and give me some feedback. Comments like Godless Biker's are completely useless and quite frankly id be surprised if he really actually used the app......
If you want to just try it out and give me feedback please do:

Description:
My Workout is a handy app that allows you to save your workout routines to an easy to access and easy to read schedule. My workout also has a stopwatch included for rest time between sets and a 1 rep max calculator. Important tools for the gym!
thx for sharing
Thanks. It's really help me in training.
Possible Suggestion: With exporting the workouts, is it possible to save to SkyDrive? They have some new APIs, so it would be nice if the files can be saved and retrieved from Skydrive account.
Wow, im surprised this is still getting interest. Unfortunately i abandoned this project a while ago due to poor code design by me. ( learned much since then ) I no longer have the source code but if the interest is there i could possibly re-write this app with some mango features and possibly skydrive support. I wrote this app to help me with my workouts at the gym, but i have frequently found my self simply using word / excel to track my workouts.

Looks like a refreshing change. I'll definitely give this a shot when its up. :good:
Nice pics But the color choices need to be customizable or changed. Those colors would get tiring very quickly
Pretty sure this is in the wrong section. Appears to be based on CM or another kang. Def not an entirely new OS. Plus, without credits or a link to said ROM, don't see this being up long.
