So basically it's StubleUpon?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A kind of it yes, but it deals also with whole the apps you have installed and the entire android market
It will tell you to play that game you were not aware of its existence before launching SerendApp...and you'll have also the possibility to uninstall it directly from SerendApp (click on a thumbnail in the sliding gallery at the top)
Why not sending a message to a friend or send an email to a contact as proposed by SerendApp ..why note writing some notes or tasks to do as the app is now launched (ColorNote, NoteEverything..etc)...etc
It can be helpful when you don't want to do something specific from your drawer...just let SerendApp decide for you
You can repeat the experience as many times you want.
As a consequence...you can install far more apps to test them at random from SerendApp and uninstall them also directly, it is no more necessary to search them (as far as the random law is satisfying )
As it was helpful for me, i hope it will be so for you
As a first version, will bring very soon customization features

A screenshot of the options proposed when clicking on a thumbnail in the sliding gallery (this sliding gallery is composed of your recent randomly launched apps: you can so relaunch the app directly from SerendApp ):

SerendApp updated in Version 1.1 in the Android Market !
Version 1.1:
-added video features
-compact view mode
-settings
-launch automatically an activity when SerendApp starts (like widget functionality; see settings)
Some screenshots:

SerendApp updated in the Android Market in version 1.1.1 !
Link on web android market: http://goo.gl/JmotS
ChangeLogs:
Version 1.1.1:

-Donut users (1.6): video feature may not work properly (do check that YouTube is installed also)
Version 1.1:

Enjoy with SerendApp !

We fixed some Force Close errors when clicking on a thumbnail and in menu/help
Updated version 1.1.2 in the Android Market
More options are coming soon

Interestingly, the more you install apps, the better your user experience will be
So, do not care about installing as many interesting apps as you want (in the limit of your memory card or your internal system of course ...) and let SerendApp pick each time one for you

I like the idea! Fun
Would like to have more choices.
- Play/find from market a random game only(pre select Paid or Free)
- Same as above for apps
- Or maybe integration with folder organizer to launch a random app from a specific label or the ability to label all apps from within your application. Basically create my own random buttons.
- Integration with Facebook/Twitter/Other social network apps to view a random friend's page or even a non-friend's page.
- Integration with gallery and music player
-Bring up a random contact to call, or even open up a random chatbox with a friend who's online on Gtalk.
Good work!

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback and for these constructive suggestions and ideas.
Some of them are aldready on the road and we will consider all of them for next releases (if ever possible ...as possible limitations may be for reluctance of users concerning too much Permissions required as View/Read Contacts for bringing at random a contact, difficulties to have app categories, number of buttons/dialog boxes in the user interface...etc all but if there is no solution, it means there is no problem (Schadock))
Thank you gaain for your feedback

Very cool! Apps, Wiki, and Videos have taken up the past two hours of my life! Thank you!

Hi,
New version of SerendApp available in the Android Market (Version 1.2).
Version 1.2
-beta banner for future improvements
-bookmark feature (launch at random bookmarked apps): click on a thumbnail and bookmark
-app categorization (same ~30 categories like in the android market) => filter options
-hidden features:long click on "My Apps" launches "bookmarks", on "web" launches "i'm feeling lucky", on app categorization (in menu/parameters/apps) shows associated apps (click to launch apps)
-images and slideshows from Google image/flickr/picasa
-news from Google News
-(the Market app do not accept filtering options such as price and sort filters like its web counterpart, perhaps in near future)
Hidden options:
-long click on "My Apps" (green droid): launches Bookmarked apps
-long click on "Web": launches "I'm feeling lucky" behavior
-long click on a category: shows associated apps
Filtering apps by category: some apps may not appear if they are not listed in the android market (manufacturer such as Motorola/samsung or operator's apps); it is not recommended to filter (let all categories uncheck to avoid filter) as you may miss a special app or a special config
More options are coming soon
Share your discoveries on our blog
Enjoy with SerendApp
Version 1.1.1:
-Much faster + more relevant keywords generation
Version 1.1:
-added video features
-compact view mode+settings
-launch automatically an activity when SerendApp starts (like widget functionality; see settings)
Some screenshots:

List of installed apps are now available
You can choose the apps you want to play with using SerendApp, for instance all your last games or tools or quiz and launch them at random
Selected installed apps have priority over categories,i.e. if you selected Brain & Puzzle apps category and you selected in the list of installed apps GMail, Facebook and Messaging, only these three installed apps will be launched; to retrieve apps of the selected category, do uncheck selected apps (there is a check button for select/unselect all)
screenshots are there: https://picasaweb.google.com/quintessart/Serendapp
And download here: SerendApp

You have 3 or 4 or ...n favourite daily apps ?
Just select them in SerendApp (menu/parameters/my apps) and only these apps will be launched, with no effort and at random
You can also bookmark them (so that you can launch them as "bookmarked apps" in long click on "My apps"-green droid- button). Click on a thumbnail to bookmark; we will add this option in apps selection in next release.
Shortcuts are upcoming in next release with new "local" features .
Shortcuts, by definition, will be associated with one or more features (All stuff, My Apps, My Bookmarked Apps, My Selected Apps, My Apps Categories, videos, images, web pages, i'm feeling lucky, social, market,wiki...etc), directly from your homescreen, without opening SerendApp
This will simply save your time and make you use your apps (and your smartphone) more often , while discovering new things. Interestingly, the more apps you install, the better is your user experience
Stay tuned and enjoy with SerendApp ;-)

Hi,
Suggestions of using SerendApp with friends :
1) install several games (e.g. quiz..brain & puzzle, arcade...etc)
2)select them in SerendApp (menu/parameters/My Apps) or select Games categories (menu/parameters/categories: unselect "selected apps" in "My apps" if you choose categories as the priority for launch will be for selected apps)
3)the first user will launch "My Apps" (green droid) and start playing with the randomly launched game => 1 point or score if he wins
4)the second user launched identically "My apps" and so on ...
For Quiz games, the user who launches "My apps" could ask the questions to the candidate player
Enjoy with SerendApp !!

Hi,
The last update fixed the "infinite loop" bug affecting the categorization of some apps.
If you have experienced any difficulties with this last version, do not hesitate to report the issues.
Apps that cannot be found on the Android Market or other integrated alternative markets will generally be put into the category "Uncategorized"; you can place them manually in the 32 available "native" categories. If you reset your categories, you can import these manual changes with "/menu/manage apps/import".

I would use this as my app drawer but ... the folder type is hard to read with the drop shadow. grid set to 153.
a coupl emore options on how folders are displayed would be nice. maybe even tha ability to rename officiel folder names, or merge catagories.
allow our own hierearchy of folders like you did for games. all individual types of games show up in games so enterteainment AND lifestyloe oficial categores go into a local folder "Style"

Something that I have been looking for !
Let me give it try now..

Hi,
The app is available in the Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ergsap.catapplus
Only apps that can be found on the Android Market and a few others can be categorized. All apps that cannot be categorized are put under "Uncategorized" folder (some system apps or some apps generally integrated with the device such as volume/voice/settings/DSP...etc).

Hi,
Nice suggestions, thanks for the feedback
Ok for custom folder type/better grid/shadow control/more display control/rename native categories/possibility to merge categories. The app aims to be better and better
For your own app launcher, i suggest you to use the API used by Catapplus to be able to do what you want with {App_ID, App_Name, App_PublisherName,App_Category}. App_Category proposes 32 native categories (the same that can be found in the Android Market).
CatApplus just use this API and simply shows what can be done with such available information to build a nice app browser tool (the first one ?).
The limitations are several folds:
-the API delivers categories for apps that can be found on the Android Market (some other apps are being integrated progressively); the API outputs
"unknown" category for apps that cannot be categorized;
-the database is freely available to use with your own application (we propose regular dump SQL/CSV files); it is a static database (between releases) but it is, as far as i know, the first attempt to build an open API for this purpose ;-)
So you have two solutions: API or import the entire database for your own app (using JSON parsing functions). For remaining uncategorized apps, manual features can be proposed.
See the thread related to the API and the database (here) to know how to use them for your own application. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Hi,
We updated CatApplus in the Android Market with several bug fixes (notably favorites, hidden apps/categories ): CatApplus
The database has been updated for performance and set to read-only: if a standard app is not categorized with the current version of the database, check later "Reset Category" to see if your app has been added to the database and thus to get its category. You can set manual categories also directly from the app and import them if needed later. Regular dumps of the database are always available on the statistics page here.
The database has for the moment more than 320000 categorized apps, among the most popular ones ! Plus 17000 apps has been labelled/categorized as unknown because either they are stock apps or simply they are not available on regular markets.
For some of you that find this app terribly useful, do not hesitate to post/send some feedbacks

Hi,
We will post on our twitter account notifications for the updates of our database; so that you can update the categories for your apps !
Follow us at: @ergsap
So, when an update is available for the database:
1) just hit "menu/reset cat." to reset the categories (a few seconds only )
2) then, if you had previously set manual categories, hit "menu/manage apps/import categories"
your bokmarks will be preserved, of course .
If any feedbacks, do not hesitate to share.

Hi,
A new update of CatApplus database is available with 27000 more apps categorized, for a total now of ~350000 apps categorized (great !) ! Just reset categories to see updates for your apps if you have uncategorized apps !
1) hit "/menu/reset cat."
2) if you set manually some apps, hit "/menu/manage apps/import categories" to restore your categories
3) you're done !

Update 1.2.6
Hi,
A new update of CatApplus is available in the Android Market with bug fixes and a new feature !
The new feature is the "Pending" category that indicates if the app has aldready its category in our database.
Just scan your apps ("menu/reset cat." and import your changes if you have made manual modifications of course via "/menu/manage apps/import categories").
=> Each time the database is updated, check the pending folder for avaialble categories for these apps: long click on the "Pending" folder and "reset cat." to scan for category updates only for these apps.
Bug fixes concern mainly the display of "list-style" theme icons and performances.
Upcoming feature: choose your custom folder icon ... !
Check CatApplus in the Android Market: Link
If any suggestions/ideas, do not hesitate.

The API counterpart of CatApplus make this easy to implement if possible (see CatApplus API discussion here).

Hi,
New update of CatApplus with style for folders !
You can change a folder icon or all folders at once. We provide a preselected set of cool icons (long click on a folder or menu/design/change...).
These data are saved in ergsap/catapplus/folder_style on your memory card. You can thus add your own icons in that folder, they will be available in CatApplus for your customization.
The database has been updated with now 466000 apps categorized !
We have so far categorized 15 million apps ! Huge !
Just check you apps list !

Filters are search patterns you can define to perform a specific action on feed items.
Let's say you don't want to read any news containing "CentOS updates" (or "Apple IOS" ) in it's title. So you define a filter which can be applied to a specific feed or label and you set it's action to mark an item as "read" when any of new feed items contain that search phrase in it' title (and/or context).
Another option is to set action to 'watched'. In this case the item with the search phrase will be placed in "Watched" folder (label) and color coded.
Action "watched and notify" also shows notification when matching items arrive.

New version is online!

Looks really good!
Like: filters, configurability
Dislike: all these share icons - should be configurable (e.g., no point in having a G+ button or a Twitter button if I don't use them...)
P.S.
I found a typo in the about dialog (infromation->information).

Whoa, you're quick
More suggestions:
1) Reading Engadget's feed in the eye-with-list mode, the photos are too wide for the screen.
Can they be auto-scaled like in the just-eye mode?
(My problem with the just-eye mode is that it only shows part of the text)
2) The star icon should IMHO be in the same line with the other icons.
3) The icons are beautiful and effective --- once you know what they stand for.
I suggest you add a help button (that can be configured not to show, once you get the hang of it), that will call upon a quick tutorial (e.g., a screenshot of the interface with individual button explanations).

The eye in the circle is a text (simple) only preview, which also includes an image from the feed. The eye with a list is a 'web' or 'original' view mode, that is original feed content in a webview. I can change the original one, but I think it would be even better to modify text preview. Right now i have limited it to displaying only the first 5 lines of a feed item, but that thing will also be configurable.
Regarding the star, you are also right, will add an option to move it to the item's quick action menu (buttons) or keep it where it is now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atz-GnEDevk is a quick introduction to using the app
Thank you a lot for your feedback!

Some more ideas and comments (tell me if you're fed up with feedback, I'll understand...)
- only after watching the video I could get some of the buttons (e.g., mark previous as read). But the video is almost 10 minutes long, and people don't have much patience for it. A quick what-buttons-do is imperative, IMHO.
- some buttons have a wide, irreversible effect (e.g., mark all/previous as read). An undo button could prove useful. Or perhaps a confirmation dialog?
- since I tend to read feeds with many small items, the most important button for me is "mark single item as read". The button is rather small, so I can only hit it 80% of the time; in the other 20%, I change the preview mode. Maybe there should be an easier way to mark individual items as read, for instance make it possible to choose which button precedes the item title (where the star currently is), so people like me could put the mark-as-read button there.
- when switching orientation (portrait <-> landscape), it closes the current item and resets the preview mode (to text). Usually the reason for me to rotate the phone is to get more width for a specific item that needs it (e.g., has an html table), so please make it remember
- would it be possible to choose whether text/web preview is the default? I always use web preview
- jreader's icon keeps swinging in the notification bar for hours. Does it mean it's working? completed?
- in the filters activity, I think it's better to have similar icons for backup and restore; maybe a diskette with in/out arrow?
- in the add/edit filter activity, I think it'd be more clear to have some other UI element instead of a checkbox to choose between "title only" and "title and contents", perhaps a push button; also, what does the crosshair button do?
- in the movie it seems to work, but on my device I cannot chose to which label/feed a filter is applied. I only have "any feed" / "any label" in the drop-down boxes.
Thanks again!

Feels great...thanks
