[APP] OblyAutomator - An automatic tile downloader that works with OblyTile - Windows 8 Development and Hacking

Hello! If you've used OblyTile in the past, you'll know what an excellent piece of software it is. I always thought that the process of resizing icons was a bit tedious though, and when my Windows 8 install corrupt itself, I couldn't be bothered to start again. OblyAutomator should provide a solution to this. My website hosts an online database with applications, and icons that are suitable for each application. Users are presented with a choice of icons, and OblyAutomator calls OblyTile with the correct parameters, which creates the new tile.
This is a video of OblyAutomator in action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZmr8tdUOaE
Attached is OblyAutomator. It also requires OblyTile (v0.91) in the same directory. Also included is TileUploader, which allows you to add links to icons to the database. I will moderate these, so your icon link won't appear until I've decided that it's suitable and of a high quality.
I'm not sure if there's a demand for an app like this. This is a very early version, and may have a lot of bugs. Please post your thoughts and comments below!
Thanks,
Thomas
12/06/2013: Version 0.11 Uploaded that prevents crashes when searching for applications, and when deleting temporary files.

Thanks, this looks great, but I only get error when I start this program. See attachment.

Sorry to hear that! Please could you post a larger version of that screenshot? I can't quite make out what the error message says.
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi sewa2k, thanks for replying!
If it doesn't recognise all of your apps, then it must not have them in the database! I will have a look at the database and see what icons people are requesting, and try and add some more. Feel free to add them yourself though!
Currently there are 5500 apps that have been found, but only 24 of them have icons! Not all of the 5500 apps are ones that you'd want on your start screen, but today I'll be looking through for some popular apps to make tiles for.

Yes, I did it ! Navigate to Recent used locations in TomTom!

I finaly managed to write somthing to enable you to navigate to locations entered when adding an Appoinment in the agenda !

And there's more to come (when finished)
Nav2recent should work perfectly, just READ the howto and download it here : http://ppc.jhps.shacknet.nu/ Zip-pass is "xdatest"...
Navigate2 is downloadable too, but i only give out the password by mail or PM, since i want to know who is testing it
please give comments or bugreports !
(tested on WM2003 !)
Would you mind if i post a link to this topic to the guys at pocketgpsworld. They've developed a few tomtom addons and would probably be interested in this.
Be my guest, but like i said, i'm not giving the password for Navigate2 away to anyone...
I'd rather have some of the guys here test it first...
My final goal is NOT to make money out of it, but a FREE "navigate to appoinment location" tool available to anyone....
Why ? Because it STUPID that navigationsoftwar has a tool to navigat you to addresses you probably allready know (Your contactlist !), but NOT to addresses you drive to for the first time : APPOINMENT LOCATIONS...
If their willing to help : Great ! If they want to create a tool alike and 'hide' it on their site, or ask money for it: No way...
Just posted the link and hopefully it won't be abused.
The guys at pocketgpsworld have already developed and released (free) a tt5 addon called "POI Capture" which allows for quick saving of speed cameras of various types.
Good luck and i hope everything goes well.

Thanks for your efforts by the way.
Didn't see them in the referrrers, or did they pick it up from here ?

yeah nice
haven't found something like that, an so decided to code it by myself (because studying software engineering).
your links /referred tool, also looks nice, mine is just (as it looks to me, sry my touch hd is in repair, so i can't test it, just [email protected] the screenshots) much more easier, simplier.
I've just reduced it to the absolute basics.
Possibilities: ADD / REMOVE / total items (info) / CREATE-DELETE NEW LISTS
it automatically saves the list in the program directory, and there are no checkboxes... if you bought something, u don't need it in the list anymore (my thoughts)
And in the future I wanna develop some other little tools, helping users every day. Don't know exactly what to do with the domain. Maybe also publishing other help/ useful tested tools from other publishers.
Thanks for the info,
crazyV
Very nice interface, but it crashed when I entered some ê accents in it Test it more please and build a cab installation file, this will be easier.
thanks for support

Thx, I pleased that you pleased ;-) ... of course don't hesitate write me ([email protected]) if you found some bug or problems and also if you have some ideas to improve or you miss some functionality.
Thanks
I have been using your tools for a few months now on my Samsung Focus. They are great. Sadly, I just upgraded to a Nokia Lumia 900 and until someone finds a way to open up the 900 to the extent that the Focus was, I won't be able to use these great tools for awhile. I needed a larger screen, front facing camera and 4G so I had to abandon the Focus. My wife will be getting that. Hope to be using your tools again soon.

[APP]Xperia Icon Converter for New Launcher ALPHA VERSION

Hello everyone
Since most of you know, sony released a new launcher with icon support. But sadly, they don't support most of the icon packs. A few created by xda members but it's not a real solution. A while ago, I created a tool for automatically convert those icons with computer help. It's based on java, and it's in VERY VERY early stage of development.
It's not guaranteed that it will work at all, but i tried with my phone xperia z3 compact. And it seems worked all the time.
Known bugs
-App name, app icon is not generating. It's always framed with some sorf of icon.
-It freeze while converting because lack of threads
-Sometimes it can't display all of the installed apps , which is absolutely weird
-Only 1 app can be converted for this time because of package names are same. If you convert apk. Just select none and apply. Then select framed again to "refresh" new icons
For the sake of small tutorial, I used polycon icon pack which can be downloaded from google play
1.Connect your phone with usb debugging activated
2.Press "Connect Phone"
3.App will be listed in combobox (it will show app name in the future ofc, and If possible I will limit those apps to display only icon pack apps)
4.Press convert button. ( It will freeze, I know i didn't implemented threads because i'm lazy guy.)
5.Choose it from icon pack settings
Application will download, convert and install apk to your phone.
Here's some screenshoots

Hidden, because they are huge.
Oh bonus, it developed in java. It should be working at mac,linux(replace adb file with linux adb file) ,windows(not yet)
So, there won't be a download for just jar file not yet. I will give you eclipse project, download it. Play with it. I'm open to suggestions. Code fixes etc.
This is first time i ever develop adb app. So I had no idea how to connect device, get stuff etc. I tried my best my it might be stupid solution, please don't hate me.
PS: I'm college student and I have finals. I just put this because i just developed this for 2 hours a week ago and its been there since. I will continue develop when i got time.
