[APP][Free][Beta][4.1+ Phones] THING - a new behavior driven, API powered Launcher - Testing

Me and my team are developing a brand new kind of Android Launcher called THING that we think you'll find is really cool. Check out thing.se and sign up for our private beta! In short, THING is a behavior driven, API powered Android Launcher that simplifies and automates your life. As I'm a new member, I can't post proper links just yet - sorry. Again, thing.se is where you want to go.
THING listens to your behavior and presents you with apps you're most likely to use at any given time of day and activity. THING lets you create your universe - if you can write a text, you can create an Agent that listens and acts on your behalf. Any API can be implemented to enhance your power and reach – the building blocks of Your Universe. Thing puts you in control - of everything.
Thing analyzes your app usage history and activity to determine what apps you're most likely to want, whenever you want them. The idea is to make app discovery easy instead of relying on a wall of apps and muscle memory to know where a given app is. (Pro tip: long press on the secondary hotseat to force an update).
Thing uses NLP to interpret what you want to do and how to do it by letting you program your surroundings - to create your universe. For example, if you're in Boston, an agent might be:
Code:
When I land at Logan Airport on Wednesday, get me an Uber and text John "I've arrived safely" if it's raining in Madrid.
We interpret and map keywords to services and actions to create a logical flow of events that calls API endpoints.
Feel free to ping me or email me if you want to sign up for the beta or if you have any feedback - good or bad!

First of all, I'm really sorry to double post, I've posted this in Xperia section, but I really really need Blackstone users to help me out, thanks in advance.
Hi, I'm a student in Queensland University of Technology at Australia. I'm developing a Sudoku game for Windows Mobile 6 Professional with WVGA resolution, I have a SE Xperia X1 but I need your help!!!
This is my second attempt in developing Windows Mobile application, last time it was a big failure, but this time I've put a lot of effort in this application in order to make it very graphical appealing, use-able, and powerful, y'know this is very hard in WinMo platform, either it will crash or it will take too much memory/processes to run it.
I've used smallest amount of custom build controls to make this happen in qSudoku, I want to make it user friendly, finger friendly, apply the concept of "a screen full of content", and graphically appealing. So far I've only tested it myself and I want to know what do you guys think
Please go to Faculty Of Geek for more information about this application (or me )
Email ([email protected]) to me if you want to provide feedback or just anything
(Download links at the bottom)
Current features:
Four levels to choose from (easy, medium, hard, insane!).
Load and save.
Multiple numbers in one square.
Clear all numbers in one square at once.
Check numbers in all square. (that's where the red 'x' appears )
Hint
Show solution
Check answer (the 'All Done!' button)
It's full screen
In this version.....
Only 6 puzzles available.
No settings available.
New Game and Load Game buttons will take few seconds to respond (which is obviously not good).
Will expire on 15 May, 2009
Has no icon and sounds :-(
In future versions.....
Will improve memory management
Will provide option to turn off full screen
Will make the application more responsive
Will support more screen resolution
Will support non-touch screen device
Will make the hint not so 'obvious' (you'll know why once you play it
Downloads:
WCGA device with .NET Compact Framework 2.0
WVGA device with .NET Compact Framework 3.5
Here's some screenshot:
Looking all good but wrong section. This should be posted in the "Development and Hacking" section
Thanks for the info, I'll post one there, hope it's won't get deleted as I kept posting the same thing.

[WIP] OrthoGun

Hey guys,
after developing my App "Remote", I nearly immediately started a new project.
Not an app, a game it should be.
So I began about 2 months ago and now I want to present the current results to you.
The game is named "OrthoGun" and it's a 2D Space Shoot 'Em Up.
Unlike other genre representatives you can't upgrade your ship in the usual way.
I build a randomized itemsystem: There are different types of items (like standard armor, a simple cannon) and from those the items will be generated which will have different attributes (so there would be a cannon which makes 10 damage and a cannon which makes 500 damage and one which shots very fastly and one which shoots very slowly). When starting a level, enemies will be randomly generated from those items. When killing an enemy, there is a chance a he drops one of his items, which you can eventually pick up and use by yourself.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So this an actual enemy from the game. The shape and items, he has, are completely randomly generated using certain rules.
Using those items you also build your own ship. You practically just drag&drop the items to the position you like and you're done.
The game will feature about 20 levels with different difficulties and types of enemies
Plus 3 modes and bonuslevels.
I'm currently trying to convince Microsoft Game Studios to publish it, so I can integrate the XBOX Live Services, but they have a very long respond time.
You can view more screenshots on the facebookpage (see signature) (you don't have to like the page or be registered to view the screenshots, but I would be happy if you so because it's a lot easier to keep you updated because I promote this game in other forums too)
Note that the colors you see, currently depend on your accent color (I use "mango" at the moment)
Please let me now whether you like the idea or not. I will try to answer any question and I would be very happy about feedback (negative&positive).
Thank you for your attention!
Sincerely
DeathLamp
May take a while to get use to. The randomized drop of items could make the game super hard hard at times. I hope you can save progress and not have to start from level 1 the whole time. It could be quite interesting. Graphics seem a bit outdated but then I'm assuming your going for that look?
Sure all progress will be saved.
As I've already said there will be level.. each will unlock a new itemtype so you're not able to find every item right from the beginning. Currently I made enemies handicapped, so they don't get the same amount of health, damagepower and shoot speed from the items.
At the moment you will only be able to keep the items if you complete the level, but at least there are no lives, so you can try as often as you like.
Yeah I am aware that the graphics are the critical point of the game, and it actually looks kind of worse on a static picture. I will try to make video the next days.
And thanks for your feedback
EDIT: And heres the video
It's the second half of the tutorial

Hello XDA friends,
How many apps on Play Store that sync your notes with Google Task? Many!
But since I didn t feel confortable with any of them I decided to make mine, with an alternative Holo UI, that take inspiration from Google Now, Google Keep, and made it more intuitive.
The app is mainly designed to make you feel all the features in your hands, even using a smartphone (tested on my 4.3" Galaxy S2 display) and offer simultaneusly 2 type of navigation: dropdown (useful to skip from a list to another when number of lists is huge) and swype.
This app as stated before lets you sync your current task with Google Task, so everything is synced to every device you got, with your PC and tablet, android, iOS and Windows!
Isn t it great?
Support to Password, Reminders, Due Date, all your lists are available and you ll never lose a meeting anymore thanks to notification feature (expanded notification for android 4.1+ users).
A touch of color to help you highlight your actions, nice animations and a complete settings menu to customize your app, your sincs, your passwords, your notifications.
Some screenshot following
And to always feel all under control and ready to use we can use widgets and shortcuts!
Shortcut may be used to open a selected list or to add a nu task in a selected list.. or both!
You can set an illimitate numeber of shortcuts obviously.
Widgets are fully customizable, you can set the order sorting, set if display as checklist or as simple notes, choose if display the content of the notes, the max lines of the title, every widget is fully resizable and got built in 3 buttons to open the list, add a nu task or simply reconfigure the widget.
So said that the word to you, hoping all Google Task users will enjoy!
For any kind of requests, bug tracking, feedbacks I' m here, just shout!
Cheers
Lovely design! :thumbup:

[App][2.3+][Alpha] Looking For Players

LFP (Looking for Players) is a simple app that helps gamers find each other. It tries to emulate the bulletins boards in real life. LFP does not require an account to use but does require a persistent Internet connection. The three tabs (Response, Post, and Search) contain all of the functionality of the application.
Response lists the games you have listed with a list of people that are interested in playing that game with you. Tapping the X next to the game title removes the listing while the x next to a name removes that user. This list refreshes every time the app starts and every 15 minutes if left open.
Post allows you add a game to the server specifying the game, in-game name, platform, days and the approximate starting time. Anything posted is automatically deleted after one week.
Search goes through the available listings and returns a list grouped by time. All times are corrected for the local time zone. Clicking a listing within the group generates a dialog to notify the person that you are interested in gaming at that time.
Currently, I want to know:
• How responsive the app is.
• Is LFP intuitive to use?
• Are the colors appealing? How can I improve the theme, nothing too fancy for I am not an artist.
• Does this app accomplish its goal of being a bulletin board for gamers?
• If this was in the app store how much would you pay for it?
• Bugs and annoyances.
This was designed for use on a phone but it does run on tablets but its not coded to take advantage of the additional space.
**EDIT** This is the alpha so there isn't a large user base so there are 0 posts at the moment. Therefore everyone needs to post and search for the same 5 games: Pirate Sushi, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3, Roller Rally:Snake Pass, Combat Wings: The Great Battles of WWII, and Quarrel.

Cool idea!
Thanks, I'm contacting people on that UI designer list to create a new color scheme for this app. That's a common complaint. Which is not surprising at all really.
Very responsive, haven't ran into any glitches yet

Speed up Chrome for Android with this Tweak

Chrome for Android is one of the fastest and most feature-rich browsers for Android. But a persistent problem has ruined Google’s mobile browser for many users – janky scrolling.
Especially since Google replaced the AOSP Browser with Chrome as the default browser on new Android devices, people have been complaining about a perceived lag when scrolling through web pages (except simple ones) or swiping and resizing. And it’s not a problem of hardware, as the old Browser was consistently performing better in this area even on two-year old devices.
Now Redditor erythrocytes64 suggested a simple tweak that actually seems to work at making Chrome for Android scroll smoother. We tried it ourselves on two devices, and the change, while not tremendous, is visible. In addition, many commenters on the Reddit thread report positive results.
Without further ado, this is what you have to do:
Type or paste chrome://flags in the URL bar in Chrome for Android
Find the Maximum tiles for interest area (#max-tiles-for-interest-area ) flag in the list
From the dropdown, change from Default to 512
Tap on the Relaunch Now button to commit the change.
What the change seems to do is allocate more RAM to Chrome for Android, and improve the scrolling speed in the process. The caveat is that, especially on devices with less RAM, other apps might be purged from memory sooner because Chrome gets more of it. If that’s an issue for you, try experimenting with different values instead of 512, e.g. 256.
Flags in Chrome (for Android and for desktop) are experimental and meant to allow advanced users to tweak things that are not quite suitable for the average user. If anything goes awry, you can always clear application data to revert to the default settings.

This is a good bit of advice. Giving Chrome a bigger heap comes at a cost
