[App] GMarks - Google Bookmark sync

Hey folks! I just wanted to point everyone to my free, open-source app, GMarks.
Features
Sync your browser bookmarks with a GMarks label
Live folders for any label
Integrated global search
Create GMarks quickly from the browser's "share" menu
Free and open-source!
Check out some screenshots.
GMarks is available on the Android Market, and also as an APK download from the project website. Please try it out, and leave feedback!

Excellent, but I will wait until the 2-step authentication, because I can't log in with out it.
Thank you!

Thanks for letting me know Alex -- I've had a couple people mention it now so now that I know how popular this feature is I'll work more quickly to get it released! Here's the issue page so you can track the progress:
http://code.google.com/p/gmarks-android/issues/detail?id=31
I'll probably release a test build too so users like you can test it before it's published to the Market. Thanks again for the feedback!

Sure, Tom, go ahead and drop a test build here as soon as you can, thanks!

I love this type of apps . Open source and free even tough is works better than many paid-for apps!

I had the issuse with 2-step verification too. But if you check the above-mentioned link about the issue, you'll see someone mentioned a workaround you can use until it has been fixed in the program itself.
Good to see the issue being responded to so quickly btw .
But what I came here for:
I was happy to read about interaction with my phone's browser, except it doesn't work for me. I enabled it in the settings, I pointed it towards a label, I synced it, but no bookmarks turn up in my phone's browser (I am using the Google Android browser), and no new bookmarks are added to the existing Google Bookmarks label either.
Using:
- Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (running Android 2.2.1)
- GMarks 0.6.3
Logging in succeeded (using the above workaround), I get to see the labels and bookmarks in the app, it's only the interaction with the browser's bookmarks that does not seem to work for me.
Let me know if there is more information you need.
Edit:
I'm Dutch, and willing to help when any additional Dutch translation is needed.

Oh, I see. Maybe enable application specific password would also be great.

Two-factor auth support
Hey folks: I've enabled two-factor auth support in the latest build here:
http://code.google.com/p/gmarks-and...android-0.6.4-SNAPSHOT-2-aligned.apk&can=2&q=
try it out and let me know if you encounter any problems!

After replacing the older version with this updated one, I saw I was stilled logged in (I used the workaround). I stopped the app and removed it's data (via the Settings->Manage Applications thing), and started it again to log in properly using the 2-step verification. The login worked as expected*. But my bookmarks are not syncing. The message tells me it's syncing, a message tells me it has finished syncing after only a second or two (back when it actually did sync, the first full sync took much longer than that), but no bookmarks show up in GMarks.
On a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (running Android 2.2.1).
Let me know if you need any further information.
*Except for a minor detail:
When I enter the username and password for my account, I press Sign in, and I arrive at the Verify page, as expected. Now I press my Home button to go to Google's app that provides the verify code. When getting back to GMarks, it's back at the login screen, with empty username and password fields. So I have to repeat the first step of the two-step verification. Not very critical, but a little bit annoying, so it would be nice if there's an easy fix for this .

Yeah that's tricky. I'll have to see if I can detect that a password has already been typed, and attempt to restore that verification code page if it's already been loaded.
You might be able to switch between apps without the GMarks login page reloading by using the "Hold home button" to switch between apps without going to the launcher in between.
Either way, this is an issue that clearly I need to keep working on. Thanks again for your patience and feedback!

Any response to my other issues I wrote about in the above posts?
1) Nothing syncing between GMarks and my browser. (Post #5)
2) Newer version: nothing syncing. At all. (Post #8)

Hi jjwa,
Thanks for working with me to resolve this. I've attached another APK for you to try. After installing, go to Application Management-> GMarks -> Clear Data and give it another try.
If that doesn't work, do you have the SDK tools installed? I can't reproduce this problem so I'd have to rely on getting debug information from you via the "adb logcat" tool.
I apologize for the trouble, and appreciate you're helping me make GMarks better!
Thanks again. Let me know how the new APK goes or if you need instructions on how to use logcat.

The APK did not produce a different result compared to the previous one as far as I could see.
I currently don't have a working USB cable, so I tried out apps for the adb logcat thing. I have used adb before, but I have no experience logcat, so if you need it done with differently settings (I was now logging at the 'Error' filter level btw). I've sent a log to your gmail adress instead of posting it here, because I wasn't sure there was no information in there I would not want to have up in public...
For recording the logs, I repeated the Clear Data steps, started the log apps, logged in on GMarks, let it attempt it's sync, and then told the apps to email their logs.
Let me know if this is sufficient or if you need me to do it differently or do something else.
P.S. Random curiosity: the log is getting spammed massively with 'WPA supplicant' messages. I know that's related to my WiFi. Any idea why it's going so crazy? Should it? Is it just the security protocal chitchat?

Which passwords should I insert? Can I insert the Application specific one? I'm not comfortable inserting my password just to use the credentials, now that we have specific passwords...

Hi Alex,
Unfortunately you have to use your own, normal password (followed by a verification code if you've enabled two-factor auth.) One-time use passwords unfortunately don't work here - they only work for AuthSub enabled services and the Bookmarks service (as far as I know) doesn't support AuthSub. I tried to use a one-time password myself and the login page rejects it and says as much.
The reason GMarks for Android directs the user to the Google login webpage is exactly because I expect users would (or *should*) be wary of inputting their username and password directly into an Android app. (Lots of apps still seem to do this anyway...) Because you are logging in through the webpage, the GMarks app never sees your username or password.
If it makes you feel any better, if you have two-factor auth enabled, any app that _did_ capture your username and password wouldn't be able to log in without the additional verification code. And the verification codes only work once so that code can't be 'stolen' and used to log into your account from somewhere else.
Sorry! I think this is the best anyone can do until Google releases a real Bookmarks API...

Two-factor auth support
Hi folks -- here's a new 0.6.4 build with two-factor auth support.
Entering in the verification code is still a bit of a pain in the ass, but I think it's the best that can be done. Once you enter your username & password in GMarks you get directed to the verification page, at which point you have to switch to the Google Authenticator app.
You can do this quickly if you open the Authenticator app first and then long-press the home button to switch between the two activities. You can also copy the verification code from the Authenticator app by long-pressing on the number. Then you can paste it into the browser textbox in GMarks.
This build also includes the ability to fully re-sync with the server, which will resolve any sync problems and remove stale bookmarks that might have been left on your device if you've deleted bookmarks via the web interface. It's the last item when you go to Menu->Settings. Since this re-downloads *all* of your bookmarks it should be something that is not done often, hence the reason why it's a bit 'hidden away.'

Tom,
thanks for your detailed and excellent answer. I'll try this latest build and come back with results.
[Edited] Seems to be working very well for me. The only comment would be the same as previously stated: when validating the code, you need to leave the application to go to Google authenticator, when you come back, you need to re-enter user and password...
Thanks!

Alex! You'll be happy to hear I realized there's a much more elegant way to make this work -- I can launch the Authenticator activity straight from GMarks (if you have it installed.) So you can copy the code and just hit 'back' to get back to enter it into the verification page.
Try out the attached build. I think it's a big improvement over the prior solution.

Hi,
Is the version on the market not the latest? I've the market version that says 0.6.4, but 2-factor authentication behave the same as before.

Ooh, that's creepy. I've staged an update but not published it yet. Odd that the Market is now showing the description for 0.6.4 even thought the admin console clearly shows that the last published version is 0.6.3.
You didn't get a Market update, did you?
I plan to publish 0.6.4 soon! I was hoping to get some feedback from the build that I attached in my last post to see if everything looked like it was working correctly first.

If you haven't seen it yet, 0.6.4 is _actually_ released now. I've had some feedback already that two-factor auth is working smoothly now (in addition to my own testing) so you should be good to go! http://goo.gl/AbeDh

[App] RemotifyMyDroid (my 3rd FREE app)

Hello Everyone,
i've finish working on my application RemotifyMyDroid, and uploaded it to the market place toy can download:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.yazan.remotifyMyDroid&feature=more_from_developer
it sends notifications to your PC, when you got event on your mobile,
best case when you are charging your mobile in a room, and setting in another..
however you can use it in different purposes ...
the phone and the PC should be on the same LAN,
in future i may upgrade it to work over the internet ...
it notifies for those events:
1- Incoming Call (shows the caller number to)
2- Outgoing Call (someone using your mobile to call a number)
3- Your mobile is fully charged (in case you were charging it)
4- Someone unplugged the power of the charger.
5- New Incoming SMS.
to download the PC server
http://www.yazandroid.com/
and go to RemotifyMyDroid (1st link) and it contains some screen shots to.
also have a look at my other FREE 2 applications there
your feedback is appreciated
Yazan.

Sounds great, but I think setting this up might be a tad harsh for general use (firewalls etc). I would suggest building an intermediary platform (web service) to communicate to. That way you can have a very easy setup. For instance, you can use the Google login service to identify yourself from the phone and the notification program and that's it then. No IP's or port numbers as most users don't know what that is anyway.
But for the techies, good start.
Cheers

What a great find... The integration with Growl will be excellent on my HTPC. Also, this allows easy integration with EventGhost through Scripty.

Hey, didn't try it yet but I have some suggestions, in addition to a web service:
reply to sms / transfer calls to PC

Using bluetooth maybe ? PC as a handset (would have to be paired before)
I understand then distance range would come as a limit for many use cases, but could still be enjoyable instead of standing up to pick up the phone !

Thanks! If you have any feature requests or improvements in your mind, please let me know. We care about users feedback.

Nice handy app. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I'd also advise users of avast to make a paper copy of at least a few important commands other than LOST or FOUND and keep them in their wallet or purse, or somewhere handy. I made myself a complete list and carry on me at all times. You never know when you're going to need them and asking a friend to install your app might not be feasible at the moment you need those commands.
Sent from my ADR6350

That is the main reason, why I put this app together. I don't want to carry avast commands on a piece of paper in my wallet.

there's only one problem with your app, it's only for android. if i lost my phone, my friend can't use this app because he has an iphone. some of my friends don't even have a smart phone yet because these devices scare them. for me, a paper copy in the pocket is infinitely more handy. not trying to troll, just saying a! commands has limited usage, especially after the phone is already lost and your android friends aren't available. paper can activate avast from any mobile phone and even google voice.

I agree, it's just one of many options how to send a command to your lost phone. But if you can use a! commands, it is a very good option.

Can you add a way to choose the number to send the command to, from the phonebook ? Most of my friends have my number, and I tend to forget it

I had the limit entered in the Options field. BTW sending this command by hand does work. I didn't try the other commands which need an extra parameter between the password and the command, but I guess they all fail...

[TOOL][2.3+] Share files over wifi

"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!​

Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?

Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:

I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?

Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)

Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Ok, that was a good clue. It seems an error that happens on this kind of devices. Published new version that will hopefully ammend it.
Thank you!

Mmmmm, not a bad idea
At first sight it seems that it should be possible if both devices were running ShareBox app with this feature implemented. Will have to study...
Thanks for your feedback!

"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!​

Definitely needed something like this. I'm tired of having to upload to google drive just to port some app that says "incompatible with this version" within play store on my painstakingly slow phone.

Thanks to you for reporting and helping to sort out! Some other error reported by other users has also been corrected after that, so sorry if you see some other update.
Thanks again and enjoy Sharing!

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would

If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...

Please, report issues, if any, and suggest more events to monitorize.
Thanks

Up to what point?
Do you want to be aware of which apps are the most used?
Do you want to know what WiFi networks you connect to and at what time?
When are your applications updated?
Do you want to know if your phone suffers a expontaneous reboot or when you turn on or off the screen?
You need this app and you know it!

Looking good! An option to exclude certain apps like Nova Launcher would be nice.

Thanks for the suggestion. Great idea!

It would also be nice to be able to monitor a remote phone (opening up the app to for parental monitoring for example).
This could be achieved by either allowing to :
- send a daily report by mail
- having a client app with data synced whenever a connection is avaialable
- sending data to a central server
...

anyway to export the data as .csv ?

Hello, thanks for app!
Any chance to remove "full network access" from permissions in future ?

Heya! Congrats on making the portal. Good stuff you got there.
Here's some suggestions for the intro texts:
Part 1 - Current
"Do you want to know how do you use your smartphone?
You have installed this app, so the answer will surely be affirmative.
With this app you can know with what apps you lose your time; time which you could lose living your real life..."
Part 1 - Suggested
"Would you like to know how you use your smartphone?
Well, as you've already installed this app, that'll be an affirmative!
By gathering statistics about your apps with Phone Usage Monitor, you'll know where your precious time is creeping off to. Time you might want to spend on living your real life..."
Part 1 - Motivation
The second "do" doesn't really have a function in the first sentence and I made it a bit softer to make a more friendly first impression. I mentioned the app's name to remind the user what's going to help them (branding, be proud of your creation). I stayed true to your intention, the reference to 'real life', but made that a bit softer as well by using "might" and not mentioning a negative word like "lose". We're all winners here!
Part 2 - Current
"To let us know this information we will run a service in the background to monitor the use you make of your smartphone.
Quiet!, it will not consume more than a little bit of the precious battery of your mobile..."
Part 2 - Suggested
"You're probably wondering how much battery this app will consume. Don't worry, just a tiny bit.
Think about the time you will save after gaining all this usage intel. You won't even need as much battery anymore."
Part 2 - Motivation
Shouting "Quiet!" doesn't come across very friendly. There's also never a comma after an exclamation mark. I wrote the text to match the battery icon better. I'm also pushing the major goal of the app forward.
Part 3 - Current
"We will give you more information if you let us see how do you use the apps in your device..."
Part 3 - Suggested
"Sorry to bother you but I will need some usage access in order to provide you with all these awesome statistics. Is that okay with you?"
Part 3 - Motivation
"let us see" gives the impression multiple people or a company will be watching along, which totally isn't the case. I wrote it a bit more personal, fun and friendly.
Part 4 - Current
"Do not worry!
The data we collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Suggested
"Do not worry!
The data I collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Motivation
As in part 3, It's better to speak from a first person point of view, "I" instead of "we". It's just the app and the user, "you and me", which is a more comforting thought.
Instead of "START APP" I'd use something more vivid like "Lets go!" or "Show me some numbers!" or "Start saving time!"
The UDPA looks good, people are used to not reading these disclaimers and accepting them anyway. It's also a nice reminder that even if there is a "we", it's literally stating no personal data will be collected on any server. Kudos! :highfive:
I personally don't like the last paragraph but ah well, one has to make a living, right?
Looking forward to those stats...

I need to think on it.
I would not like it to be used without consent to spy on anyone :/

Sorry, but Internet permission is needed to display Ads.
I understand that you do not believe in my word when I say that I am not sending data anywhere, but I need to access the Internet to load the Ads

Please add export data functionality! Csv format for example. Great app otherwise, thanks!

Crashing
Hi,. Unfortunately the app crashes every time I open it on my OnePlus 6 that runs Android 9. The first time run screens work fine and permissions are assigned ok but then I can't open the app. I have tried clearing the storage/cache and that hasn't helped. Any ideas what to try next please?

Hi
Assuming you're rooted, please, post a logcat or send by email.
Thanks

Hello
I've tried but no luck reproducing the issue.
If possible, enter app settings then enable debug mode then reproduce the issue then sent the log file.
If not possible, please, contact by email or PM to receive a debug version of the app to track the issue.
Thanks in advance
