JustPictures!

A while ago, I sent an email to the developer of the 'JustPictures!' app on the market, about implementing the one-touch zoom method from SE. It is used for photo viewing and streaming (e.g. from Flickr, Picasa etc).
Now he has finally done it - try it out!

(It's free, just use the QR Code on androlib, or search for it on the market.)
It works well for me!

wow！its great! thank you very much! 谢谢你

Gotta say cool app.. thanx alot.. helps alot considering I got rid of mediascape lolz

With Meridian replacing the audio player, RockPlayer replacing video player(beta now, won`t be free i assume) and this app for images, there is no need for Mediascape anymore.
Even so, this app needs improvments:
1. why do i have to double tap the image before using the zooming function
2. where is the delete function?
3. together with exclude folders it might be nice to have an option to exclude everything and include only a few folders.
4. provide a progress bar or some kind of counter to know how many thumbnails were generated and how many are left.
..
and probably more.

it does not show full screen pictures

haptic feedback would be good too - I recall SE demo giving a little vibrate on the long press to let you know that it was ready to zoom in/out.. and the zoom in only seems to go so far.. then when you zoom beyond that it bounces back out to a lower zoom level..
Don't get me wrong though.. it's a great app.. a few tweaks as suggested in this thread and it would be my preferred photo viewer.

looks good, but setting a picture as wallpaper goes horribly wrong.
It just shows a small picture in the middle of your screen, but most of your screen is black...It resizes your photo's to real small images unfortunately...
Cheers,
Arnold

yeh the zoom is a great improvement over the original zoom buttons but you cant pan around while your zooming that's the only issue I have

One of my favorite app as I have plenty of pictures on smugmug and flickr. This app seems to get updates almost every week or even more frequently which is good .

Awsome App

nice !!

Aldiko Premium

What features are exclusive to the premium version?
It doesn't say anything at all about what's different from the free version.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.aldiko

Anyone?

That's something I've been wondering about myself and hopefully someone on this awesome forum knows the answer? Is it just a -feels good to pay- fee?

I love free-version, I read e-book in offline mode, open EPUB on SDcard, so the ads are not shown in offline. Update faster? I'm not feel about slow update

I use Aldiko Premium.
You can read "Adobe DRM"-protected e-books. This was the main reason, why I bought the app.
You can also costumize things like font, brightness, font size, font color, background color and so on.

Thanks for the explanation.

I've been seeing this app FC consistently within Gingerbread (2.3.3) - does anyone know if there's a compatibility problem?

Definitely not. I use it on my Nook Color running CM7 Gingerbread.
(Most likely it is an issue with the custom ROM you're using.)

I'm also using Aldiko Free on my Nexus One running CM7 nightlies, no FCs.
As for ads, I don't really see them at all in the free version...
And there's already an option to sign in with your Adobe ID to view Adobe DRM files, but since I don't have an ID, I didn't really try it out.
So I suppose the only difference is just the ads?

I am not sure what the difference is between the current free and premium version but I will say that the older version of Aldiko is MUCH better than the current version except for it not supporting the Adobe DRM. After owning both I'd say that that the old version is faster, uses less memory and has more options.
My favorite option is being able change the brightness by simply draggin your finger along a specified portion of the screen. Super handy!

Font, font size and brightness are part of the free version. Also I believe background color, but only to sepia.

App, 4.0+, HomeFlip

I made a small home button launcher replacement, mainly for myself to overcome my new note 2 'bulkiness' when it comes to switch tasks quickly. Give it a try and let me know if you found it useful.
Google play download: HomeFlip

very useful app. thanks for sharing.
an idea from me: add a swipe option for opening the app. for ex. horizontal swipe open up the HomeFlip.

Noted.

I do like the app.. I'm not sure if i'm missing something but I have an alternate launcher for my home screen, it seems that it defaults to that. Can i change the default home screen homeflip takes me to after its activated?

Your not missing anything, this is a oversight from my part, I should have known that the xda crowd was likely to have at least one custom launcher in addition of the stock one installed!.
Thanks for the feedback, will fix this soon.

Thank you very much for making this app. It's nice and light. I tried it, but I will have to wait till the option to choose "default" launcher available to install it again :highfive:.
And is there anyway that I could replace the default recent apps with your app ? I have a button for recent apps, but it takes age to load

It depend on the ROM you are running, most stock Android will popup the task manager when pressing Home for few seconds, HomeFlip should preserve this behavior by default.
I'll check CM9 (this is what you are running right ?) internals to see if there is a way to hijack this, but keep in mind that I try to keep HomeFlip as non-invasive as possible, so any features that require additional permissions or dirty tricks is a no go for me, Respect peoples phone is my policy
Thanks.

I know the long-press home action, and of course, I don't like it . I have a cheap and weak phone (HTC explorer), so your animation seem a bit laggy . I have a dedicated button for recent apps, but it take about 1-1.5 second to load . So go to home and tap app icon is even faster than using the recent apps menu .
Looking for the update . By the way, the apk size is tiny, but cached process need 10MB, is that normal ?

You can disable the animation from settings (context menu).
HomeFlip to not not cache anything by itself, but it is possible that the OS itself cache information (i.e. icons), I'll have a look.
Anyway, Android is getting good at managing memory itself, the times where you had to manually kill tasks are hopefully over.
Thanks.

HomeFlip 1.01 available now.
HomeFlip Version 1.01 available now:
changes:
- Settings / Added support for multiple launchers.
- Settings / Added background dimming customization.
Full theme customization coming up next, stay tuned.
Enjoy.

I'm probably missing the obvious here, but I absolutely can not find the settings. Awesome app though, if I could only find the settings to change the default launcher!

what was the hype about???

so whats the big deal about this JB then? upgraded ota last night and i see not much difference, oh apart from my 'internet' bookmark will not open a internet window on my desired homepage, and when on my browser i always have a 'about:blank' tab open and i cannot get rid of it by pressing the 'x' on the tab, and my facebook bookmark always opens the mobile site now whereas before it opened the desktop site all the time

The hype is about the SPEN and Multiwindow enhacements

Agree, project butter is by far the best thing about JB! You can really tell the difference when sliding between home screens and even though it's not the end of the world if there's a microsecond delay I'm kind of allergic to lag.
Then new SNote however, is something that makes the upgrade not as much now brainer as it should be because it's kind of worthless (as I have started a thread about in the app's section here) so if note taking by SNote is a big deal for you I suggest you wait until they got that sorted out.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

Also not impressed with JB. Out of box JB on my Note 2 is much better.

Of course that this updated brought much needed features, like Project Butter and performance enhancements that Jelly Bean 4.1 introduces over ICS. The Premium Suite is worth as well, the hover function and the multi-window updates were a nice addition to my (our) already awesome Note 10.1
If you didn't notice much difference with Project Butter, that means that in 4.0, this tablet was already a beast. So why complain (kind of), it's more stuff for free, and it makes a device even more complete/bug-free.

Dolphin V11 downgrade

Dolphin Browser V11
I've used this for years as it was the only browser design which understood the notion that the only thing in a browser you need quick access to is your bookmarks and the easier and faster you can get there the better. Dolphin was the only browser where you could do a quick lazy swipe to view all your bookmarks, and swipe back quickly if you'd changed your mind. They've also remove right swipe to get easy access to pluggins.
No, I hear you say, this must be a joke, surely they wouldn't the only option which set themselves apart from all other browsers, possibly the best feature of any browser out there?
add your thoughts to this:
https://www.facebook.com/DolphinFans/posts/661023360617620
Yup, they've employed Steve Balmer...

I got V10.3 from http://www.androiddrawer.com/, not sure if that was the last version before 11, but it is good enough for now. Word to the wise, export your bookmarks BEFORE you uninstall V11. If anyone has a version history of Dolphin for Android, or a higher numbered version 10 Dolphin browser for Android, speak up. Reminds me of how Opera ruined their Mini browser years ago when they went from V4 to V5 and adopted a "unity" (barf) type gui..... tears of sadness...

best i could find was 10.2x - still looking.
http://dl.game-keren.com/march_2014/Dolphin Browser v10.2.8.apk
EDIT: Found it now same place you did.

Agree. V11 is a usability downgrade.
The quick left swipe for bookmarks was the selling point for me. This feature is very helpful for more recent mobiles with big screen.. now they made it into 2 steps which kinda kill the point.
The floating 'circle' for menus..that I hated as well as I often accidentally touch it..but I could still live with that. Now they removed the left-swipe bookmarks. OK ..Chrome it is for now unfortunately!

swipe
Definitely want to see both left and right swipe functions reinstated

agree with OP quick access has gone

Here is the link with flash player enable inside. This is the 10.3.1 dolphin browser. Enjoy

I may be alone in this, but the only reason I want to downgrade was because of how you type in URLs now. With V10 you could type at full speed and hit enter, but now you have to carefully do one letter at a time and trying to type at full speed is a waste of time. Switched to Chrome and after messing with a few hidden settings, it's now as fast, if not faster than Dolphin ever was.

I agree with you the new broswer got messed up. For some reason the dev did update which no one like it and made it complicated hopefully we will get more update soon
sent from s4

just found out you can jump straight to your bookmarks by clicking on the URL bar, isnt as elegant as a swipe but is you have invested in Dolphin and done want to move to another browser its a decent enough workaround. Still no easy access to addons I can see though. Numpty Developers should be sacked !
hopefully if enough of us hammer this they change it back.
https://www.facebook.com/DolphinFans/posts/661023360617620

V11 is such a downgrade.
What I liked about the old bookmark bar was it let you get there without having to look. Now you have to look and aim for the specific location to get to bookmark.
Left & right side bars, shiny shake, desktop toggle, and gesture button at corner were all I needed. Now they've made each and every one of them worse. I can't believe their designers didn't even realize what made their browser special...

U know thats what I was thinking atleast they should have read comments. But must admit dolphin browser is one of the best browser just not the v11. Hope we will get all this back on next version

V11.0.1 is out. The bookmark bar can now stay at 1st level.
But other GUI layout still suck.
