:good:Hi
My first post here and obviously blatant self promotion so I expect to be flamed but I wanted to gauge interest.
Given the lack of Facebook Home support for the Nexus and the fact I didn't like the way it took over my whole phone I've been writing this live wallpaper that does coverflow type stuff with different social networks.
At some point I'd like to make lots of money from it (obviously) but I've set up a free version on the market for Tumblr and could do one for Instagram if there was enough interest and keep the one that does everything paid for.
I can't attach anything so all I can do is ask for people to search for "SocialWallpaper Tumblr" on the market and hope you can find it!
I'm really interested in hearing what people think so here are some screenshots, a link and the offer to flame on!

I realised I can at least attach some images!
This looks very promising! Would love something like this for instagram though, don't use Tumblr at all to be honest. Hope you can make a few bucks from the paid version. Good luck! (I think you are allowed to link to the app itself on the Play Store)

Gah, that's me trying to rush out the instagram version
Settings work if you launch from the app screen but not the live wallpaper picker. I've submitted 1.0.4 with a fix so that should hit at some point.
Thank you for your feedback, will try and sort these problems out asap!

**UPDATE**
I've managed to test the new release and you should be able to get to the settings from either the app or the live wallpaper settings button for the Instagram version.
I'd obviously like to try and publicise this for other devices but don't want to spam every forum, could a more experienced member please point me in the right direction of where I should post?

Instagram version is working great. Looks awesome
This might be the forum you could post your app? http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=530
I'll give it a shot!
Glad you like it - if you want to shift the profile pics down a bit go into settings and tweak the "Top Padding" a bit. I'm on stock launcher and have it on about 80 to keep it off the search bar, you should be fine with around 30

Anyone know of any working youtube downloaders? Seems the ones I have used in the past are all pulled from the market (Freedi was best but they went all Chinese or something ....Youtube Ripper is gone also..along with another one I used whos name escapes me atm)
Are there being deemed warez also and google is facing some legal issues with having them, or am I just blind?
If they are ok to post, could someone please shoot me an apk or a link somewhere to an actual working program?
Thanks in advance!!
Er should be titled TRIED, not tired...but hell I am tired come to think of it lol
I have no Android solution, but I use YouTubeDownloader on the PC & it works great.
Sorry man. I got nothing. I can help if you want a pornhub downloader though lol.
Yes, they do seem to all be disappearing with no rhyme or reason. I have TubeMate 0.9.10 on my phone, here's the APK:
http://db.tt/oM8POF6
And you should probably change your title to something like "YouTube apps disappearing from market?".
ack thank ya for the linky and LOL @ porn ...That actually cracked me up thank you\
Changed title
First off, I need that Porntube downloader please!
Secondly, all the Youtube downloaders are disappearing because Youtube wants you to come to THEIR site to see the videos, not download them and save them. Youtube makes money off advertising when you visit and click stuff, they don't make anything if you download the videos.
That said, I like Jet VD myself. It lets you pick the quality etc and works VERY well. Unfortunately, it was just removed from the market the other day. I'll post the .apk when I get home though, it's free anyway.
That or try googling it.
hey hey hey!

It would be great if you would post it, as I can't seem to find it anywhere.
JetVD is about the best I've seen.
Freedi is the best, I use it myself. It appears to be in Chinese, lol. But after you download it you can change the language and what country your in. Hope this helps.

Hey Guys,
I wanted to try something. I think everyone of you has his favourite app or apps. They have a really cool feature or they just look really awesome.
So I had the idea that we could make a list with the favourite apps from the SGSII user. I know there are several websites with tests and everything.
But I think that mouth to mouth propaganda works the best. Especially for "secret" tips.
And that's how it works:
1. Check the list in the second post if your apps are already there.
2. If not then post your TWO most favourite apps. Post the link to the appmarket or the XDA thread. So that everyone can find it easily.
Tips:
-You can write a little description if you want but you don't have to.
-It would be very nice if you could write the category in which the app belongs.
-It would also be nice if the link would direct to a trial or a free app so that curios users can try it.
An example how a post could look like can be found in post #3
I hope a lot of people like this idea so that we can collect a good list with good apps.
LIST
Efficiency-tools
Swipepad
Swiftkey X Free
Vlingo
CircleLauncher light
AppWidgetPicker Read the instructions!
Entertainment
DroidTV Primetime
Health & Fitness
My Tracks
Example post
So I will make the start.
My two favourite apps are:
Swipepad
SwipePad is a launcher panel overlay. With a single swipe action, you can launch anything from within any app.
It's a really simple app but it improves the handling a lot.
and the second one
Swiftkey X
It's a smart keyboard which learns how you type. It even learns slang and dialects and predicts it in the right moment. After some days you don't even have to write a sentence the app knows already what you want to say.
The apps are both from the efficiency-tools category.
favorite app: DroidTv Primetime-without a doubt!!
This app is the best! To have a personalDVR(digital video recorder on my phone ) like Tivo to record every new tv show I want for 9 dollars every six months is a dream of mine. I can watch all my favorite shows all the time period!...
It is better than anything for all those wait times when you are stuck on hold, at oil changes, shopping with the wife etc
I'm typing this from my phone, so sorry about the missing links...
My best apps is Googles My Tracks, and Vlingo... they are just great, if,you have use for them!!

No problem. Vlingo looks quite interesting. But in which way is it different from the normal Google Voice?
for the efficiency circle launcher is a nice app as well

I personally hate this app. I wrote the original launcher widget for android (launcher dock) which used this circle format. This app not only uses the exact same format but when I took a look at the code was simply my code deodexed and recompiled. They didn't even bother to remove my freaking comments.
Have tried to get it taken off the market but Google are useless when it comes to this sort of thing.

I understand your anger but it looks like you stopped development so I leave circle launcher on the list. They are still working on it and they added some new functions.
I hope it is okay for you if not just say it and we can have a look for a solution.
I always install AppWidgetPicker first on a fresh ROM. Great if you have apps with multiple widgets. Does not work on stock launcher and needs to be pushed to system/app.

UPDATE: It's now out in the Marketplace and totally rocks.
Read my post here or go straight to the Marketplace and download it.
Carbon for Windows Phone is an upcoming Twitter client for Windows Phone. It supports multiple twitter handles, and really embraced the Metro design language when designing the application.
Check out some pictures of the app at this link:
http://www.gowindowsgo.com/2011/11/...tter-app-for-windows-phone-you-cant-have-yet/
The dev is looking for people with developer unlocked devices to test the application! All you need to do is email saleh at dotsandlines.com with you twitter handle to get on the list. Once he fills up all 50 spots he'll push out the beta invite!
Support him and give great feedback!
Sam
Annnnd just as I post this I get the XAP to test it, I'll post some pictures once I get home and load it up and play around with it.
Email Sent!! Looking to test out the app.
I've been using it since its first closed alpha. And even though it didn't sport all the features it offers now, it was still better than everything else available back then. In the meantime another great client has been published, that's also feature rich and fast: Mehdoh. But I for one still like CarbonWP better. But I think that's just a matter of personal taste.
Been using it since few hours. Overall I do like it primarily for one main reason, it makes use of more Panorama View than taps. Thats a big advantage.
Will be posting video review tomorrow.
Using it too, also still the first alpha, very nice client, I just miss smaller fonts

I haven't pinned anything besides the app itself, so I don't know about other CarbonWP tiles not updating. The main app updates just fine though. Did you activate it in the app settings? If so, go to the OS settings, swipe left and check if CarbonWP is enabled in the background processes.

I am having a few issues with tiles updating. I'll make the dev aware of any problems we run into on here. Also be sure to leave him good feedback so he can improve the app. With better font sizes on the horizon this app is shaping up to be really good!
@samsabri
I have pm you regarding the app.

edit : wrong post.
The dev posted two pics showing off smaller fonts... http://twitpic.com/7lv5n2 and http://twitpic.com/7lv5ma
Can't wait for this app to show up in the Marketplace and do a proper review.
NICE!
Yes they are activated. But the tiles haven't been updated with new mentions and message.
Second Notification is not show on start screen only withing the app.
And as promised, Here is the video review and app review on WPXBOX.com

Carbon should be out any second now

ditched the official Twitter app for Carbon and glad they made this. Official Twitter never made any updates to improve their app.
Yeah, it's out in the marketplace! Haha. It rocks, even though there is no trial I can say it's worth spending the money on.
http://www.gowindowsgo.com/2012/02/12/carbon-for-windows-phone-is-finally-out/
Why is there no trial?
I am currently using Espier launcher which is great but the only problem i have with it is that some icons just are plain ugly. I tried my hardest, sat down and for the last two days I have been trying to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449283
I just couldn't do it right I don't know what I was doing wrong but something didn't work. It might help too if the above guides screenshots worked instead of saying 404. I was hoping maybe someone with a little more knowledge of .xml editing could either tell me what I am doing wrong or do it for me.
If anyone wanted to do it the launcher.apk can be found here:
http://espier.org/download/EspierLauncher.apk
And the icons that I am trying to add can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?a2z4zqqcllhmzcr
I wanted to be able to have:
~Music icon for Google Play Music
~Video icon for Google Play Movies
~iBooks icon for Google Play Books
~Calendar icon for stock AOKP Calendar
~Weather icon for Google News and Weather application
~Photo icon for Stock AOKP Gallery
~iFile icon for File Expert
~Safari icon for Espire Browser
~All the other icons are self explanatory (i.e. Youtube = Youtube, Twitter = Twitter, Facebook = Facebook)
Thank You so much in advance to anyone that would be able to help me with this!
Give me a week or two and I will try it. I should be able to do it, but time is always getting in the way, sorry bro.

No problem!!! I just try my best to help out the community. Unfortunately ai don't have an Epic anymore, I have another android phone but I will post the themed apk before I test it or maybe I will get the chance to who knows.
If you want me to theme any other apps let me know and I'll get to it!
I know this sounds stupid but, I don't have enough time on my hands where I can do this and make sure it works. The free time I have I am probably whittling or just adventuring outside or doing something I enjoy doing. I hope you understand,
But what sounds stupid is that I am willing to make a video on how to do it, if that's okay with you. If it is I will get off my lap top and go on my desktop, open up camtasia, record it, upload it to youtube, and put a link here.
You can post a thread saying that this is a general tutorial on themeing apps and you can use my video just so we don't have more posts like this, and maybe it'll be a sticky.
My apologies again! And yes I am saying sorry because I shouldn't have accepted a duty I am not able to fulfill. I know it looks weird having me typed all this, but its a lot easier than going through the folders and changing them.
I am not abstaining from doing it, I enjoy working on shtuffs for these phones and all, but I just have other things to do and other things I enjoy more.
I hope you understand where I am coming from. Video will be made by the weekend hopefully.
Although my hands are full ill pick this up just for the sake of helping. Idk what I can cook up but I'll let you know
This launcher looks like a Chinese version of an I phone. What rom are you on. Have you tried miui roms I have some tike tomorrow I can look into this. I'm not as awesome as Travis is at this but. If I can help. Then I am willing.

Thanks for the help guys. its very much appreciated. nd like i said before dont feel rushed at all. take your time
Currently I am building and shortly will be done with my Facebook Metro App for Windows 8 and the idea is to have 2 UI's.
1). Full Screen w/Most Features.
2). Half-Sized w/Basic features so you can use your favorite App's while still accessing your Facebook features, feed and etc.
Question is, what would YOU want added to either UI?
Well u should post some pictures of the program so we can see what it has and hasnt so we can give you opinions When its really upload it and i will test it for sure
After or on Tuesday, I can share the design as I am scheduled with a MS Engineer to help my App have the final touches and tested as well and hopefully first Facebook App in the Store.
Also thanks for responding.

Well FBMetro is really just the project name, Facebook already has an App registered as Facebook Metro.
The half-sized mode is in fact the snapped mode... I have included old-SS of which the actual App does not represent anymore as of my meeting with my Microsoft sponsor who wouldn't permit me to go any further with the design, even though I was nowhere near done lol.
Note: Job Discovery is my other App for Win8 and is actually currently a free WP7 App. In the photo you can see that my Facebook App can be used by other Developers to post information from their App using my pre-established Auth to the end-users Facebook Account. Yes, they can actually implement my App to be used by theirs.
nice, where can I get it?
It's coming, very soon!
and here is my idea....
as you may know in our country (iran) we can't access FACE.BOOK...we have to use v.p.n and other pro.xy apps...
it'll be gr8 if you add setting to your app so that we can add pro.xy and these kind of things...(especially pro.xy...)
thanks...

hy. I just want to know, when it will be available? could we download it from windows store? I'm a really big METRO UI fan, and I would be happy if I can use facebook in this way.
and of course sorry for my bed english
Cool App!!
I am actually working with someone from Microsoft to get the App Certified, I had to really redo A LOT of the UI as they have made the standards really rough.
Right when it's ready, I will immediately provide the link.
Thanks for your interest!
