Hello all,
I developed an app called Instant Lyrics. May be, some of you are familiar. It is in the Market. Mainly, it captures the song information from the default Music Player and brings the lyric instantly.
Everything works very well. But, I am getting complaints from HTC Hero users. Because, HTC Hero does not use the default music player. And to be able to get the java name of HTC Music and the service it is using, I need to install HTC Hero ROM. However; my time is limited.
I would appreciate, If one person has HTC Hero could help me to get the needed information.
the only information I need is the java names of the app and the service it is using.
For example, the default music app is like
com.android.music
com.android.music.MediaPlaybackService
You can get this information by using Package Manager in Dev Tools app. The Services are listed at the end of the result page.
Thank you very much,
Omer

Uh....i think the java name is com.htc.music or com.android.htc.music (don't. Have dev tools on hero...)
If I could get a "fixed" version of your app...i could test and see if it works.

Sure, I can send the fixed version. Thank you.
The attached is the development.apk provided by Google. If you could install and follow the following steps, we would have much accurate information.
1. Download and install the attached app. It is an app provided by
Google to the developers. It has no side effect to your phone.
2. Open the app.
3. Click Package Browser in the list
4. Find the music player from the list. Its name should be like "HTC
Music" or "com something htc something music" but not "Music" or
"com.android.music" (this is the default music app) and Click.
5. note what is written in the Process headline
6. go to the end of the page and note the name listed in the Services head line
7. and send me the names you noted.
Pleas note that the names are case sensitive. So, it is very important
to write exactly the same name with the correct case character.
I was right.... it was "com.htc.music" I just hope the ui goes along with the app too.

Thank for the tip Otto. I assumed that the Service is the same as "MediaPlaybackService" and compiled the code. The attached is the app.
Please tell me how it works after you test it. Thanks a lot.
when i go to download it from m.youtube.com/app it says my device is not supported, can anyone find a cab for it? really want ti becuase the new one now has profle support, favourites, subscribers etc
Maybe a stupid question, but did you opened that link on your device or on your computer because when I open the link in opera mobile it gives me a download link.
Anyway, I attached the .cab

is this youtube cab better then built in versin
The new version of the YouTube app is better in lots of ways. It adds the ability to actually use your account, so you've got your videos, subscriptions, faves etc., which was always an annoyance of the original version.
Unfortunately, they've made it look really crap. I really liked the way the original version looked, but the new one looks like a WM5 app. It's terrible!
Why they felt the need to redesign a decent designed app is beyond me. It just needed extra guts thrown in.
It's still worth it for the extra functionality.
Anyway, in answer to the OP (despite the fact that he's had links to cab files posted already), it says your device is unsupported if you visit the app page in Opera. If you use IE then it works.
Mainly because the built in app is made by HTC, while this newer version is made by Google. The HTC made version requests a higher quality versions of the videos from Youtube, thus the obvious visual differences.
Anyway it should replace the original HTC Youtube app in the start menu, but the old one is still there in the Windows directory, you just need to create a shortcut for it.

Thank God that it is, because after installing the new version, I'll stick with the old one.
Besides the lower resolution video already mentioned, the ugly UI, it also rotates the video in the wrong direction.
Sad that it can't have all the greatness of the HTC version plus the account features. That would be great!
cheers guys and yeh i was viewing it on my device lol but in opera
please, a little help...I have unistalled the google youtube but I cannot find the executable in windows folder to make a shortcut in order to have the preinstalled version of youtube on my HD2!

u just have to set the app to rotated, make sure that u are in landscape mode before clicking on a video, and it will be rotated in the right way.

Use Internet Explorer and it will download.
This app has a great interface, but video quality is shocking...I would advise against installing it.
I've found all sorts of things that annoy me with the shipped HTC youtube app that i wish could be fixed,
1, the quality isn't the quality you get from your desktop, the vids look much lower res on the phone.
2, If you pause and let the video buffer and it gets to the end then you've missed your chance to view the video and have to start over, why it can't just buffer then let you click back to the start is beyond me, this little fact had me pulling my hair out, either watch it play,buffer,play,buffer all the way through or waste your bandwidth limit redownloading the vid you just downloaded...priceless.
Hi!
I've just published my first app on the market - it's called Epistle.
It's a very simple text editor that can sync your notes with Dropbox; I will add folder support and note search soon.
Since all I've got is an old HTC G2 I'd appreciate if someone could help me test it (especially the synchronization mechanism).
You can find the app here: kooklab.com
Thanks.
Looks nice. Love the interface. However I am getting an FC whenever i hit "Sync". Account linked, I turned off all the automatic syncs, have reinstalled. I don't see any activity in my dropbox. Have attached logcat.
The only thing I would change is the note title field. I appreciate how other notepads use a bit of the first note line as the title.
You need to make a donate version, btw. I have been jonesing for a PlainText-alike and would happily pay for one!
Hi!

There is a stupid bug that prevents the app to perform the very first synchronization.
I'll push an update soon.

Hi! I like your app, but there is one thing I don't like. You should be able to give an option name to the folder it creates in dropbox. I'd rather have a folder named "Notes" than "Epistle", no offense to your namechoice.
This app is awesome!
I've now a Todo-list on my desktop and phone, synced!
Good work. I really like the idea.
Some comments:
1. I agree regarding the aforementioned opinion on the titling of notes. If no personal title is entered, the note should display the first line of the note in the overview list.
2. When you create a new note, the title is highlited and can be entered. However, as soon as the orientation of the phone changes (e.g. to landscape) the cursor is in the beginning of the text field and the title of the note cannot be changed. The same goes for the use of a hardware keyboard. When I flip my Desire Z open to use the hardware keyboard the same thing happens.
3. Deleting notes: The app should refresh by taking the latest changes into account. If I remove the note on the phone it should disappear from Dropbox. If I delete a file from dropbox, it should delete the note in the app.
4. Discarding notes. It should be possible to get back to the list view without saving a note. It's a good idea to have the note saved automatically when you press back. But you might provide a "discard note" option when you press "menu" while editing a note.
Regards,
Becksman

I'll add the option to change the sync folder in some future release.

In landscape you should still be able to hide the virtual keyboard (with the back button) and double tap on the title to edit it.

If you delete a file from the phone everything works as expected; the other way around at the moment cannot be implemented - with the current API there is no way to tell if a file has been deleted from dropbox.

This is also coming in the future.
The new release fixed the sync right up. Thanks!
I am getting ready to import ~500 notes from simplenote. We'll see how it goes.

You're right. I tried that earlier and somehow it didn't work. I'd still prefer the cursor not to jump out of the title if I switch the orientation or open the hardware keyboard.

For me it's not working either way round. I "removed" 2 notes in the App and in my Dropbox they still appear. When I start the App they however don't show up anymore. I tried hitting "Sync", which resulted in a FC. However I just tried it again - created a new note, synced it and removed it again. This time it somehow worked.

I'll soon push another update on the market that should resolve most of the sync problems.
Would sorting by modification time or search be possible? The UI is perfection, but with many, many notes i get confused while navigating
Please ignore gregory's comment on the market. Unix line endings ftw.
Hey, i downloaded this yesterday! I'll provide any help needed!
By the way, love the latin root for the name.
It looks really pretty. The only reason I'm not going to give it a try is that Simplenote sync is currently a requirement for me.
But your attention to aesthetics pleases me
Thanks, thanks a lot for this app. Working great on my HERO, and finally I can sync my notes between my phone and my Linux desktop!
I don't mind the folder name or even the reverse sync issue, but I've got a few ideas on improving this. For example, you should stick to a notes format (like TiddyWiki) and give us ability to remark (bold) text, create check-able lists of items inside a note.... with transparent formatting (for example, *text* should bold, []item1 []item2 should create a check-able list, !subtitle for that exactly that and so on...). I think it should not be very difficult to implement and it could lead to, perhaps, a web app complement.
This app has tons of potential uses and improves. Thanks again.
Ever since I got my Samsung Captivate I've been using its built in memo pad for months. The fact that I couldn't export my notes was kind of a bummer. Now with your simple app, taking notes has never been simpler.
I'll try to report bugs when I see them. Thanks.
Been looking for something like this for ages, thank you.
Yesterday it worked fine, but today I'm getting FCs every time I open it on my Hero.
I'm about to test this in the Nook Color.. Thought the title "Drop-Notes" might be best appropriate for its key function :- )
All the minimal features are AWESOME thus far!
I've been using AK Notepad for the past few months.
I DON'T LIKE that it requires their webapp at catch.com to sync.
I REALLY LIKE that yours is very simple.
The only feature that I liked in AK Notepad, that I would like for you to implement would be #hashtags. This would make categorizing notes much simpler on both ends of the sync.
Along with the hashtags, a simple filtering system would be great!
And perhaps a customizable widget, that displays ONLY a set hashtag?!
Great job!
I'll be the first to donate/buy when you choose that route.
I can't link my dropbox account. the link button does nothing for me. It lets me enter my email and password, but thats it.
I'm using a Cliq XT running android 1.5
I've been an iOS user for a long time, and am just now starting my switch to Android. Starting with a new Nexus 7 LTE. Anyway, one of the apps that I need to replace is called Photo Manager Pro. I'd link to it, but since I'm new, no go. I've found several apps in the play store, which are close, but not all the features I'm looking for. Specifically:
-Private and Public albums
-Hide thumbnails on folders of private albums
-Transfer via FTP/HTTP (Start a web/ftp server in the app to transfer directly to the app)
-Secure storage of photos (Encrypted within the app, not stored as individual files on the device)
-Backup/Restore options
I'll keep looking, but so far, no luck. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Hello, welcome to XDA!
I use the app called QuickPic.
With it you can hide images and viceos and set a password to see then.
It's a simple but nice APK.

Thanks for the welcome! I'll check it out, haven't run across that app yet in my searching. So far, this appears to be my biggest grip with Android...seems harder to find the right app, for whatever reason.

If you search using an internet browser you'll find it.
But if you can't find it just tell me and I'll upload it here to you.
Steg is a simple handy app that allows you to send files through WhatsApp, popular messaging platform. It allows you to seamlessly send files relevant to your chat that's unsupported by WhatsApp without the hassle of you going out of your way and using e-mail or Drive, etc. For example another app you wish to show a friend or a zip file. It can also be used as a way to get around WhatsApp's image compression when it distorts your photos. Or to send an avi video. Whatever the file type, be it binary or text. Just make sure both parties have Steg installed. And whatever you want to share via WhatsApp, share with Steg instead. This gives you an Encode Activity that's already autofilled the input. Just click Encode and Share Encoded File and then use WhatsApp to share. Really simple.
On the other device the person receives what you sent and all he has to do is click on it from WhatsApp, select Steg to open it, click on Decode file and then Open Decoded File. That's it. Really nothing to it.

Nice app! Thank you!
Looks interesting.
Excellent app
Many thanks. Excellent app. It would improve the interface a bit and possibly in some way to recognize (alert) that the pdf in question was created with Steg.
Got what i need. Thanks buddy great app
Great idea, thank you!
Works. Superb work, thank u
It does what it says. This is the most useful app for me. Thanks buddy!
App icon blends into black wallpaper or when we use a black substratum theme. Make it transparent.
Thanks for your great work!
Seems promising, but I'd love to see the source first please. :angel:
Thank you LordFME. This is a super app, adding a dimension to WhatsApp that many, including myself, have been longing for for quite sometime now. This app has impressed me so much that I've written an article on it on my personal blog. Thank you.
