Openspark

Does anyone know what happened to Openspark? It was basically the best Xbox live app there ever was...
My first guess is that Microsoft made them take it off the market with windows 7 phones coming out...

There's two other good ones now. 360 Live (purchase only) and Xbox Live Statistics (free, beta)

If you are looking for open spark i can extract the .apk if you really want it. I usually prefer it over 360 Live since i can refresh whenever i wish.

Yeah. Can you post the apk please?

Can someone please post the apk..

I downloaded xbox live stats and it does everything open spark did i believe. It does however seem to take longer to load, even on wifi. Could be just me, who knows. But it is still a beta so chances are it will improve. I would still be interested in the openspark apk though.

Openspark no longer works thanks to newest Xbox Live update. See here:

[Q] Photo Enhancer Apps?

I have been using the "I'm Feeling Lucky" feature in the picasa client, and recently started to use that same feature on Google+ picture editing also. This makes my photo which I taken from my NS looks a lot better than the one I uploaded to FB!
Are there any apps that can do the same thing? Or provide simple features like auto color and auto contrast?
It will be nice if the app can be accessed via "Share" and share out again also. So I don't have to use that app to take photos.

Alright, I will try to write one myself.

There are many apps like Picasso with a community.
I prefer and use Molome. There are some other apps e.g. Snapbucket, Lightbox, Path ....
If you want to have an app without a community to edit photos only I use Color Touch Effects

Thanks! This is sort of what I am looking for, "without community", though the effects I am interested in "Auto Contrast" is quite hard to access, requiring clicks and flicks.

Still not really satisfied with the Color Touch app which requires me to fling quite a distance before I could get to the Auto Contrast feature, I just published an app that makes it a lot easier to do what I wanted to.
Check it out in my signature.

I am also looking for a simple tool that can apply an auto contrast/luminosity to a picture.
The same that the desktop version of picasa does with the "feel lucky" button.
I tried a lot of (free) apps, and for the moment the one that suits best is MAGIX camera MX.
But it does very much more than I want, and also installs a new camera app...
Does anyone know a light app that could do that ?
Thanks

Another one is photo lab effects you may try that aswell

need apps for tablet!

Hey guys,
I just install the CM9 rom and I need basic apps like facebook for tablets (that fit well on the screen).
because I downloaded the facebook app and what I see in the central wall is a status with little words and a huge pictures.

same question here, the facebook app is terrible for GT 2

Use friendcaster pro for facebook

thanks, I will try the free version, looks good

The Facebook app for Gtab 2 7 sucks. I wish Facebook would just release a version that is optimized for Tablets.. Until then I just use my broswer to view the desktop version for Facebook.

friendcaster is very very very good app for facebook

+1 for Flipboard! I don't generally like the idea of a "newsreader", but this one is awesome! It actually can be connected up to Facebook and Twitter, is very easy to set up, and does a really nice job of aggregating news stories and formatting them so they look really nice on the 7" screen.
The first thing I always install is SwiftKey 3, which is pretty much my favorite Android keyboard app. There's a free version available for trial. For the GT2 7.0 you'll want to use the Tablet version (which is what I linked to).

Google Now LiveWallpaper

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?
:crying:

Can't find this'd app in the play store so it probably got taken down by Google...wish I nabbed an apk

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.

How do you get to camera settings - the other settings?

Was at a Verizon store yesterday played with the X, very nice device, one thing I couldn't locate/figure out, nor could the rep....
how do you change pic/video mp size before taking the pic/video?
Are all the pics taken in 10mp size (or a different default size), or can that be adjusted?
If so, where can Those settings be found?
The standard settings section had the basics, HDR, flash, Geo, tap to focus, slo mo, gesture etc. I just couldn't locate where to change the size of pics and video.
(Btw the X's they had at store were not on kit kat, so I know camera wasn't on latest firmware)
Anyone know?

The settings you found in the app are the only settings there are. They REALLY dumbed down the camera app. I hate how little you can control on it.

I'm coming from a 2.5+ year HTC Thunderbolt, and the Moto X is a real neat device.
But I think it's the only phone I know of that you can't preset the size pic/video you'd like.
Kind of strange, considering past dumb phones I had could do this.
Taking pics and video in the highest mp will definitely fill up the phone's memory fast.
Maybe future firmware will allow this, who knows.

I was a little peeved when I found out the picture/video size couldn't be adjusted. I told myself I didn't need all that crap from the S3 so I got the MotoX and then turned out that one small thing would drive me nuts.

Just go find an app in the market. Camera+ is one

That may be a possible solution... but this seems an absolutely silly omission from the stock camera app (especially the video).

Problem is, will 3rd party camera app launch with wrist flick, plus the tap to take pic and keep finger down for multiple is nice, as well as taking pics while recording a video, I don't think these features will work with a 3rp party app.
Motorola X exterior is customizable, they built a whole website for that customizable part, can even add a name to boot, but customize a photo before taking it, oh boy.
And I completely understand they wanted to create a phone that just works for the average Joe, but at the least they could have had maybe a 5mp and 2mp preset under the default 10mp. They can still keep white balance etc.
Plus I think camera would be even faster taking 2mp pics (not that it has to be).
Like mentioned, maybe they'll pick up on this and change in future firmware (which is at least possible to do).
