These screen shots are of some simple widgets overlayed on HelixLauncher, the base off of which we will be building Imagine. They have the same app tray as desired, the only addon will be to make it inclosed, and enable it to fit more than 4. I have drawn up what everything should look like (minus the widgets) once complete.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The widgets everyone has been looking for.
Keeping in mind the first accepted widgets will be the ones most similiar to HTC's base set. All future widget designs and functions will be aded as soon as the base UI is complete. For nkw we're taking everything HTC has latched onto and MAKE IT OUR OWN.
*As follows
Clocks(series) many will be accepted here!
Weather
Clock and weather combined(series). many will be accepted here...looking for someone to help out with creative weather effects!
Calender
Email/messages
Bookmarks
Future devs can include the tight social intergration that is so sought after. Ideas are welcome. Imagination is a must!
WITH THE BASE BUILT, IMAGINE IS READY FOR THE NEXT STEP. ALL CREATIVE, INTUITIVE WIDGET CODERS PLEASE STEP FORWARD.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A simple search of the CDMA Hero section will unearth a new Hero project called "Imagine UI" started by a small group of daily Sprint Hero users, which is slowely but surely unfolding to be a true work of pure imagination and teamwork. A targeted effort by a group of everyday Joe's like you combined with the tools given to us by Google, we are now taking the first step into making the first truely userfriendly UI and aesthetic form, bringing fashion to function at last.
The reason why the Android OS was built in the first place.
Join in revolution.

This sounds very intresting i would like to find out more about the base.

The base is unstable and rather unfunctional. No animations, purely a series of.blank screens with the Rosie Phone buttons removed. The UI will be very functional and aesthetic once complete, but for now we're reccomending you are on a 2.1 ROM and running HelixLauncher to beta test your widgets. Future scetches and screen shots with submited widgets and eventually the lusted after 3D cube helicopter view. Ive set a personal goal of having this up midapril.
If anyone is interested, please take a look at the widgets weve listed and make any submissions. All will be looked at and cobsidered. Full credit will be 100% given to the individials, probably in a About Imagine app in the stock software. I picture it like movie credits playing on the screen
Remember, Widgeters! Be imaginitive!

Good luck with this. Maybe someone could make 'copies' of the HTC widgets so they will run on the Android framework? Probably pipe dreams but it sure would be cool.

If everyone that said it couldnt work helped...it would be more than possible. I dont like the word copy, HOWEVER. The infastructure of all the HTC base widgets could be manipulated to start some demos.
The weather effect will have to be copied at first, until custom ones started and distributed in future releases.
You are always welcome to join and are always welcome here; thanks for the support!

Glad to see there is progress being made. I would like to see the existing code base to get an idea of where you are at and to see where to begin contributing. Is the source code available in a SVN/CVS/git repository and if so where what is the address?

Copied, manipulated.. You're picking up what I was putting down. Haha. I've been wanting to put a Linux distro on my computer - I already burnt a disc to do so - so maybe I'll take a little time and try to learn something to help participate. Why don't you try and learn some too, Sinister? Seeing as how this is your vision I think you should take the opportunity to broaden your horizons. I play music too so I know you must have a good imagination... Take advantage of it!

Indeed, I have been! I've studying hard on the official google android site. been fixating on which id rather do, make widgets, or help form the final h.a. (namely the 3d effects and such)
If you want to know where I'm starting, as it seems to be useful, this where I've been studying
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html
the whole point of Imagine, however, is the group effort. im not trying to make this UI just for me, I want it to suit all Hero users.

Absolutely. Soon a Google Wave will be started, and the project will move to there. There, anything and everything will be available. The Google Wave will be initiated the moment we get the first up and running beta. Until then, please, make your widget designs on a 2.1 ROM, using HelixLauncher.
The support is appreciated, and cant wait to work together!

Google Wave has absolutely nothing to do with being a respository for source code. Wave is great for planning and chit chat, if there is an actual project in development, that is needed to build off of. Designing widgets for the 2.1 home if you are trying to build a home replacement is futile. Designing specifically for HelixLauncher is not possible because the source for it is not available.

Does the code referenced above actually exist? If so, where is it, this is the framework that the widgets must be built from if you are wanting to do something new. A house can't be built without a foundation. If this doesn't, I think you're missing how a UI is built from an actually programmer's perspective. All the imaging in the world on Wave is great but imagining doesn't create actual substance.

Whatever dude! Sinister is obviously a freaking Android pioneer. If you are going to contribute, just sit back and wait for his instructions. Once the wave gets started, this baby is gonna blow up cellies all over the face of this great nation.
OK, now that I'm done with that scrub...
Man we need a widget that makes the phone get hot when its hot out! I'm going to coin it the "Heatwave" widget.
We could even make it so if you get cold in the winter, you can just turn that on, sort of like hothands you know... except you don't have to shake it, you just switch it on.
P.S. Sorry for the name sinister, I just liked your attitude so much that I had to tribute you somehow with my profile.

Even the most basic of home replacements is third party app enabled, and can offer the most extensive custimizations available. In the grand scheme, yes I suppose Imagine will be a home replacement, but one good enough to completely remove sense to make the space for such an advanced interaction. Point being, all this COULD be done from just an .apk. The .apk I have now is nowhere finished, and ready to be put on anyones phone. The code is not ready to be tinkered with until I brave leaving emulator on PC and install on phone. I am taking the beginning of what I have learned from simple Google searches and created a blank slate.
I can post screen shots if you like.

I truthfully have tears in my eyes from the laughter. You are an amazing soul, I can feel your spirit even through mere words.
Welcome aboard friend.
Go ahead and install HelixLauncher (assuming you running 2.1 of one build or another) and build your Heatwave widget.
Thanks for the support, god knows I need it in what might be a smart community, is still very closed minded.

Sure, screenshots sound great. I would suggest, based on over a decade of experience, to have your code completely open in a repository from the first comment and first function, no matter how simple, you write. That's the Open Source model, it works for a reason. I don't know your level of experience in development, but things will move substantially slower if no one is seeing the code but you.

I really hate to rain on your parade but there is an app that already does this. It turns all functions of your phone on to overheat it. I thought it was cool for about 30 seconds then deleted it so I can't remember the name. But it does exist.

always glad to see some deving
good work guys. ideas are great and its alway fun o have a toy/baby to work and improve. dont let others bring u down. use it to motivate urself and make this something to desire. i always love to see others think out if the box and strive to make a dream happen.
AGAIN GOOD WORK

There is an app called cubeworks. Maybe that will give everyone more ideas.

The fact that they plan to use Google Wave as their development platform/code repository says a lot.
I don't think any code exists either.

[APP] Introducing Shelves, A Collection Management App

Shelves is an Android application that manages your collection of apparel, books, gadgets, movies, music, software, tools, toys, and video games from your Android device.
With Shelves, you can add items by scanning their barcodes, through Web searches, entering details manually, or by importing from or exporting to other sources (with full support for Delicious Library). Shelves organizes your collection with sorts, searches, and tags. You can loan items to friends in your contact list, or rate items for your personal use. Additionally, items can be in any language!
It's available for versions of Android 1.5 or higher. The website for the app is here: http://www.shelvesforandroid.com

Just downloaded it to test or out cause I want to keep track of my games and who I lend them to
EDIT insane how useful this is I did a test bulk scan in of about 10 games scanning them in one after another then backed out and it got all the info for them cover art ... Publishers ... Release year ... And in some cases some background info
Sent from my Motorola Droid XPT

Looks great. Can't wait to get into it!

Fantastic app and insanely useful. Now to figure out how to get it to import into Delicious Library 2 properly.
I import but it doesn't import all the data, only some of it. I think it pulls using ASIN data whereas Shelves only provides EAN data. Certainly not a deal breaker, but definitely a hassle.

QR for those that want it
Downloading now, not sure I understand the concept though. Free though, so can't hurt to try it out.
Edit: Doesn't look like an app I'd use, but looks well done when I played with it.

Hmm, you're the second person to say that it doesn't work properly with Delicious Library 2 (the other one was a Market comment). I intentionally extended this to work with DL2. As far as I can tell, DL2 doesn't accept ASIN imports, only EAN/ISBN. If I'm wrong about this let me know. Getting the ASIN as the export isn't impossible...
EDIT: Oh damn...if I make the column heading "amazon link," it populates everything. Let me fix that for the items and I'll push out an upgrade super soon.

I just pushed 2.4.2 right now. It's changed the headers on the Delicious Library exports to "amazon link." Thanks very much for pointing this out. Your ratings can also be imported from Shelves to DL.

Works wonderfully now! Thanks for the quick fix.

Could you add Dutch support? I've got around 60+ PS3 games and I lend them out on a regular basis. But once I scan them your app says I might already have them and it adds 0.
Thanks.

Could you give me the barcode number of one or two of those games? I'm honestly surprised that they're not being added, since I reckon they're either from the States, Japan, or another country with PAL support. I am guessing you've tried changing your locale in the Settings menu, too?
But, without a few of the numbers/names, I can't test what's going on.

Brilliant app gjtorikian. I love Delicious Library on Mac.
This is one app I will be recommending to people. Thankyou.

Okidoki. Let's see here:
Ghostbusters (ps3, PAL = 11719 11885)
Little Big Planet (ps3, PAL = 11719 72515)
And yes, I've changed the locale from US to UK, seeing UK is PAL. If you need more, just yell. And thanks. ;-)

This app is great for keeping track of my stuff. I especially love the google calendar sync for loaning! Honestly, I can't think of anything to add to this app to make it better.

I'm able to somewhat duplicate the problem.
When I tried adding LittleBigPlanet the first time (which I could only find had an EAN of 0711719998853), it also said I already had the item. When I tried immediately after, for a second time, it added successfully. This was with the UK locale as well.
Logcat doesn't provide any help here unfortunately. I'm guessing the request is timing out, then. A few releases back I made adds time out after 90 seconds, after a user complained he waited 10 minute (!) for something to get added. My suggestion to you is to try to add the items on a WiFi connection. Personally I use that myself at home, since I've never been very pleased with Edge results. 3G is pretty good, too.
Let me know if that does anything for you. As a caveat I am also using this site to replicate barcodes: barcodesinc.com/generator/barcode/
PS Can you (or someone out there) "approve" my new user account. I promise I am not a spammer!

Hmm. I've scanned about 10 games I have and none of them are recognised. I always have WiFi on at home. I have to say, product search in the barcode scanner app itself doesn't give any products either. Web search however gave me results.
I've tried several tools like yours before, and none of them were able to use the scanner and inventory my games. I think it has something to do with the Dutch barcodes or something...
About your account: I'm sorry, but i'm unable to "approve" any accounts. The approval is done after a certain amount of postings, as a precaution. These are forumsettings and I'm unable to change them. You'll get more "rights" eventually.

But that would mean that they repackage Dutch products with their own Dutch barcodes--is that the case? Seems like an expensive operation if you ask me...
Not that this helps any but I found an online article about blocked apps (for the HTC Legend) where ZXing is one of them: http://androidheadlines.com/2010/03/dutch-htc-legend-blocking-apps-in-android-market.html (yay I can post URLs!)

i think we got some other barcodes indeed. some of the game Packages are saying Not for Supply in the UK. when i try a game from uk (with no PEGI logo) but the uk rating logo it works perfectly!
got around 160 ps3 games here! Dutch Packages mostly got Dutch text on the back!

That's really wild. I'm scouring Google trying to figure out what benefits repackaging/rebarcoding a product would offer. Protection against privacy? Some EU policy workaround?

This is amazing!

Check it out

very nice idea , if there were something like this but to mke a music player that would be great ....i dont use the browser on my phone much

what other apps would you like to customize? music player and??

Won't it be possible for people to make their own browser and sell it? They could just edit out anything that mentions Maxthon...
Sent from my GT-I9100

I think it would be best to customize the music player and gallery app

This is good, but it also means the Market is going to get flooded with themed Maxthon browsers.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Thanks for the information...

This is neat. I just nicked an icon off Google, as well as a wallpaper, which I added text to in MS Paint. I call my browser "Reality Web".
Does anybody have any opinions on the Maxthon browser itself?
//edit: I actually like the browser. It's faster than Opera Mobile. That isn't saying much, Opera is not a fast browser. It just does a lot and doesn't have many faults.
Some pictures won't load. This could contribute to the speed. I opened a 4chan board, which is a good test because the captcha usually screws up most mobile browsers. They just hang until it loads, then the whole page displays at once. It's a good benchmark. Surprisingly, my customized Maxthon just loaded it all up, and quick, including all the images. I was impressed. Next I went to How-To Geek. Some image thumbnails from articles did not load.
The browser has a lot of options. If you were on the fence about themes, you can actually download the others, so you can switch that. You can also change the home page. The customized browser is 2.21MB, though that may depend on the splash screen. I just used a JPEG; a PNG might make it bigger. But back to the options, you have your user agent changer, a privacy mode, the usual stuff, and even gestures (which I hate, but some like, and I still regard it as an advanced feature).
Couple gripes: 1, closing the last tab doesn't open Home, it opens this quick access tab, like Opera's speed dial, or Chrome's. There are a couple entries that don't need to be there, but that's also true for Opera. 2, hitting Home opens it in a new tab, not the current one.
All in all I like it, and I may set it as my default, primarily so when other apps (e.g. Facebook or baconreader, the Reddit app I use) call the browser, they call a fast one. At the very least, this is a decent browser worth your consideration. That you can customize it is just icing on the cake.

I wouldn't worry about that. I don't think it's free to put something on the Market. Besides, free software being resold or with ads tacked on tends to get blasted pretty hard in the comments.

Yes it costs $25 for A Developer Account with Google but you might just get one Developer who might upload 20 of his themed Maxthon browsers.
It'd be quite funny.

This is neat. I just nicked an icon off Google, as well as a wallpaper, which I added text to in MS Paint. I call my browser "Reality Web".
Does anybody have any opinions on the Maxthon browser itself?
//edit: I actually like the browser. It's faster than Opera Mobile. That isn't saying much, Opera is not a fast browser. It just does a lot and doesn't have many faults.
Some pictures won't load. This could contribute to the speed. I opened a 4chan board, which is a good test because the captcha usually screws up most mobile browsers. They just hang until it loads, then the whole page displays at once. It's a good benchmark. Surprisingly, my customized Maxthon just loaded it all up, and quick, including all the images. I was impressed. Next I went to How-To Geek. Some image thumbnails from articles did not load.
The browser has a lot of options. If you were on the fence about themes, you can actually download the others, so you can switch that. You can also change the home page. The customized browser is 2.21MB, though that may depend on the splash screen. I just used a JPEG; a PNG might make it bigger. But back to the options, you have your user agent changer, a privacy mode, the usual stuff, and even gestures (which I hate, but some like, and I still regard it as an advanced feature).
Couple gripes: 1, closing the last tab doesn't open Home, it opens this quick access tab, like Opera's speed dial, or Chrome's. There are a couple entries that don't need to be there, but that's also true for Opera. 2, hitting Home opens it in a new tab, not the current one.
All in all I like it, and I may set it as my default, primarily so when other apps (e.g. Facebook or baconreader, the Reddit app I use) call the browser, they call a fast one. At the very least, this is a decent browser worth your consideration. That you can customize it is just icing on the cake.
I wouldn't worry about that. I don't think it's free to put something on the Market. Besides, free software being resold or with ads tacked on tends to get blasted pretty hard in the comments.

Wow, my first post to this amazing forum!
BYB . . . Before I download this could I just qualify its limitation(s)? I'm looking for something that is (not to put it too mildly) um . . . ambitious.
I'm on a nice, meaty Lenovo Ideapad K1 ten-incher (no jokes now!! lol) and I'm specifically looking for a means by which to hard code into the menu bar itself buttons for the following four vertical navigation operations:
PGDN
PGUP
HOME
END
I don't even know if this can be done what the hell, I can ask, eh? Why do I want these buttons? For seamless, non-intrusive HTML ARTICLE READING without the crude finger swiping that is a huge interruption to my reading (any) HTML page by virtue of the fact that I'm endlessly positioning, trying to land precisely one screen lower to make the maximum use of my 10" screen.
What I'm describing is a feature best implemented for tablets, I'll be the first to admit -- a true, dedicated "HTML READER'S BROWSER" with no keyboard interaction required to obtain precise vertical PAGE SCROLLING.
Can your App be outfitted with something this ambitious do you think? or should I just continue to wait until some kind soul -- a reader, like myself -- discovers that he's wasting untold hours sweeping his New York Times pages just to position his scrollbar?
And thank you in any event for a wonderful concept!

wow awesome i have been created one

[WIDGET]The best photo widget... if only... Please, could some Devs help here?

Hello everyone,
Well I guess I need some dev help on this one. Let me explain…
I’ve been looking for the perfect photo widget for ages (ie more than 2 years!)… and have never found something that would fit my needs… until very recently, I found this one Photo Widget in the google play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.mdzwonek.photowidgethd
This Photo Widget is potentially the best and coolest photo widget on the Android planet.
It has the following great features:
1) Resizable
2) One-tap launch of the photo gallery of your choice
3) One-finger swipe through your photos directly from the widget itself
4) A very cool look: Photos are shown as a stack, and a stack that look a bit different every time you swipe with your finger through the stack… which give a very natural feel for a stack (not a basic fixed stack of rectangle like the Samsung photo stack widget)
5) A slide-show in the planning
Now, the bad news are:
1) This widget is extremely buggy: almost unusable UI, random FCs in settings, sometimes very slow while swiping up to the point that some photos won’t even load (I suspect very large file won’t ever load at all)…
2) The free version (which comes with one set of low-res frame) is ugly, so ugly that if you add the fact that is has so many bugs in it, nobody would want to keep it on its phone or would like to pay for the “paid” version which only offers additional frames…
But I’m very stubborn and since I felt this widget had huge potential… I insisted on using it. I found a way to load pictures (despite the buggy UI), found a way to use a different frame (without using the paid version, nor modifying the apk) by theming the widget through the Miui Theme app.
So here how it look on my phone in different sizes, cool isn’t it?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you swipe through the frames, you’ll notice they show under a different angle. Cool, isn't it?
And here with the “ugly” original (low res) frame that comes with the free version, ugly isn’t it?
Now, I’d be willing to donate to the dev of this great widget, but only if I’m certain that this widget is still being developed. Unfortunately, I believe it’s not…
It’s not been updated since April, ie more than 6 months despite tons of bugs in the UI
I’ve been sending emails to the dev reporting bugs, congratulating him, encouraging him to pursue development,… I never got any answer (and this despite the fact that on its google play store page, he encourages users to report to him).
So here are my questions here for devs on XDA
1) Given the development of this great widget seems stuck dead in the middle of nowhere, would it be possible for someone else to takeover its development without the permission of the original dev? I don’t know if it’s even possible (by breaking the APK), but would this be considered stealing? I’m against stealing apps myself (I pay for the apps that I like), but given this one is obviously no more being developed and currently so buggy that it is almost unusable…
2) Alternatively, and probably best, would a dev here be willing to start over from scratch the development of a similar widget with the very same cool features as I described in the beginning of my post?
For those willing to try it, here how to load pictures in the widget without having a blank/empty picture…
1) When you 1st load the widged, it will look like this where the dark blue rectangle represent an empty frame that you have to load or delete…
To delete the empty frame, you have to put your phone in landscape mode to see part of the Action buttons…. Scroll a bit down, and delete the empty frame.
2) Now you want to load an entire folder with pictures in it. Put your phone back in Portrait mode and hit the folder button. Then hit the back button and navigate through your folder and select the one with your pics. Hit the Confirm button several times.
Your screen should now look like this.
By going back in landscape mode, you should again be able to delete unwanted photos. Hit Start when you are ready. Be careful not to choose too large picture files, or they won’t load and you'll get stuck with this:
3) If during any of the previous steps, the widgets FCs then try again, maybe with a different picture folder…
I sincerely hope a dev will be willing to embark in this great project.
And of course, if the original dev of this widget comes across this post, please do not hesitate to join in the discussion and start over developping this widget again... I so much wish this development to continue so that this promising widget works properly.
Of course, I volunteer for testing any new devlopment...
Cheers
Surfinette

Wow - someone in the exact same boat as me!
Agreed about that widget - so much promise and yet wasn't continued.
From my reading about these kind of widgets this is using something called "stackview" which is well documented in the Android SDK. Theres a few cool quirks with this widget - like the different angles and the frames around the pictures. However I think this is a pretty standard widget. I'm looking to try out some development so might have a bash at this - especially as there is a stackview sample provided by android so no reverse engineering of the code needed.
What I will say is that I actually like the stock gallery widget but just wish it had auto-advancement like this app has.
Anyway I'm going to finish the SDK install and start the long road to building my first widget! Will keep you posted.

I was getting desperate that no one answered my quest, and here you go...

OK so I had a good look at this. I'm not really a developer, plus extending this code would be a very dodgy area. However upon taking a proper look at this it appears the code is very outdated. Plus the stackview widget code in Android seems to be being phased out to some extent - i.e. its not a really straightforward task for this dev to simply clean up the code on this. I noticed on the dev's Play Store page he requests people build some frames for the app and also states in the app that using your own frames is allowed. To this end adding or changing frames is easy - just unzip the app and replace the frames with your own in the res folders. You'll probably need to be rooted for this.
As far as the menus go they would be easily cleaned up but the performance is an issue and, from my limited knowledge, only fixable with a code rewrite to new version of android.
So, without input from the developer, we're not really in a position to do much more. What this really highlights is how few good photo widget apps are out there in the market - and most notable the fact there are so few widget using the stackview api call - its a shame because its powerful and can make homescreens look dynamic and graphically cool.
I may mess around with some bits of code I found from some blogs but not being a developer I really don't think I'll get far. If the developer does get in touch and gives us the go ahead to pick up development on this app then we might get somewhere.

Thanks,
With regards to the performance issue, I think it could be solved maybe by first caching the images into smaller thumbnails (because clearly the widget doesn't require high resolution pictures taken from multi million pixels camera!). This would probably solve the slugginess issue when swiping through pictures...
Unfortunately, I've tried to contract the original dev many times via email without success
The other solution would be to start over from scratch, and that was the purpose of my first post, but I've not been successful either in attracting a dev in this project, which I find quite surprising, because this widget is really very cool looking, and there are very few good photo widgets out there

I tried that one but couldn't find how to create a stacked photo album widget.
any ideas ?
does it really have that feature ?

I don't understand why we don't see any app (even paid) which does the job.
just a simple widget to show pictures as a stack...
anyone with development skills can do it. and there are people who are willing to pay

Thanks for your hard work collecting all the information and a TUT to run this widget
I'm also looking for a good photo widget. So far the Photo Frame&Grid Widget is my choice. You should give it a try
Really hope some thing good like the HTC photo widget will pop up on Store some day
PS: the link to the widget you said is no more

Edit: 1st impressions
+ Very fast and lightweight
+ ICS like interface
+ Easy usage
- Lack of dark theme
- I couldn`t figure out how to edit/delete accounts
Your app looks very promising dude! Let me know if I can help you with anything

Looks gorgeous. But please post a download link, I had to manually search for it in the Play Store.

The app is beautiful and fast
A few points
Ability to delete accounts
Ability to have expense categories.
A few FC's, have sent the reports

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback! Let's get through it:
@GuilhermeXOT
Dark theme seems to be a popular request, so we'll add one soon.
On deleting or editing accounts: this is the first iteration of the Android app, and it's purpose was to implement some base operations that users do every day, like adding transactions or checking the accounts balances. For the less frequent operations you can use Finance41.com from your desktop browser. You'll have there full control. And we'll surely add these features in the next releases of the Android app also.

Thanks! Unfortunately we're new to XDA so we were unable to post external links, sorry.
@suku_patel_22
We've spoken on email, thanks again for the feedback.
Expense categories are created using tags. You can budget tags (from the web app for now).
The account balances widget is a great idea and we'll implement it soon.
Thanks again guys for the kind words and feedback and hope to hear more about your experience with the app.

The web-app doesn't work on IE.
Having 2 date pickers makes the UI look cluttered. Let the user choose which type of date picker he wants in settings. Also add year to the spinner.
The dark theme should be selectable on setting as well.
Add charts as a tab not as a menu item.

In account balance the credit is rounded, while the -ve numbers are not rounded. Ex if I have a balance of 532.89 it shows 533. But if I have a balance of -532.78, it shows -532.78. The amount should not be rounded in all cases.
This is applicable for the android app only. The web app shows proper value.
Also please have a all accounts total on the android app, similar to Web app.
Why don't we use the android keyboard for entering numbers?
Tapatalked from Desire S running Andromadus

Hi,
Yes you're right, we shouldn't round the balances. And we will add the total balance.
We've got your emails and we're going through them.
Thanks for the Play Store review!

May I suggest a simple 4 or 6 numbers password feature.
I know that we already have the account login but it's not optional and if I want to secure my data I need to log in and out everytime I launch the app. With a 4 digit pw I could easily turn the feature on if I need more security.
EDIT:
Here's a mockup of what I have in mind:
I don't know if it's possible but on my bank's ATM you have to enter the password in a similar keyboard, this way even if someone is watching you type your pw the person won't be able to tell what it is. Also it's better than the tiny numbers on Android's qwerty keyboard (I guess that if you set a "field" as password it won't let you use the numeric keyboard to fill it, right?)
Also the numbers in each button are displayed in crescent order (my mistake on 3 - 0) so it's easier to find them and they change each time you launch the app.
Please keep this in mind: I know that it's really hard to develop apps and I don't have a clue if what I'm asking is even possible. All I'm doing is trying to help!

Password
Hi,
Thank for the feedback!
That's a really interesting pin system, we've never heard of it. It sounds effective.
When we sat down and thought the app through, a pin protection feature was put on the table. But as we talked about it, we realized that the phone is something personal, much more than a desktop or a laptop. People don't share phones. There is of course the case of someone taking your phone and invading your privacy, but then a pin or pattern lock should be installed for the whole phone. If you have nosy friends, you want to protect your messages, your contacts, pretty much everything, not just Finance41. So we decided not to implement a pin lock for the app.
Of course, if the request is getting popular, we'll have to do it, users know best. But until then, we'll spend our efforts on other user-requested features.
Thanks again for the feedback and the beautiful mockup, and hope to hear more from you.
Cheers!

I guess you have a pretty good point there about the phone being a personal thing but that's why I think that this function should be something that people can turn on and off.
Just to clarify my point: the thing that concerns me is that even tough it's my phone and I'm the one who uses it the most sometimes friends and family asks to play with it and that's when I get a little concerned. I know that I should not handle my phone to people I don't trust but sometimes someone you don't know that well asks to play a game or check something online and it's kinda hard to say no to something that "silly", in this case this extra level of security can come in handy.
Anyway, you should wait for more users to give feedback about this matter
Thanks for the quick response and keep up the good work!

Actually that would be a good idea to have.

Yep I think for personal reasons (dollars and cents are involved), it ensures security when other people handles our phones, I for one vote for having security measures like "pin, pattern etc".
Oh and btw I've another suggestion, I replied to your email a while ago but just thought of this idea. I know we can actually set fixed monthly bills like "insurance, car payments etc" on certain dates, but is it possible to allow us to confirm the date that the payment has been deducted? Like a prompt to confirm on the date it has been deducted on, I know we can just change the date but it's a small request haha, cause sometimes the deduction/income might fall on weekends so the date might not be accurate.
Hope to see more features implemented for this great app, have been using it for a few weeks now and really love it!!

Confirm transactions
Hi,
The pin security well get done, but let's talk about confirming transactions.
When you add a transaction, especially on recurrent transactions like rent or electricity bill, you want Finance41 to remind you to pay that bill. So you mark that transaction as "Must be confirmed when done" (in the web app).
On Finance41.com, when the day you've set for that transaction comes, the transaction becomes red and stays on top.
Now, for the Android app, we're released an update today for this: overdue transactions are marked in red and you can confirm them. Also you're reminded to pay them.
So give it a try, it should be very useful, it's something we wanted really bad, it makes our life much easier.
Cheers!
