[APP] My Home Page

I'd like to introduce my new app, My Home Page. My Home Page is a unique app and the first of its kind. It allows you to create a custom home page for your mobile browser using your favorite links. The home page you create is then stored on your SD card for quick access so each time you open your browser, the web sites you visit on the regular basis are just one click away. This means no more fumbling through a ton of bookmarks to open your favorite web site. There are a few types of styles and themes from which to choose and more are being worked on every day. The best part is that absolutely zero programming or design knowledge is required. If you can create a bookmark then you can create a custom home page. It’s literally that simple.
App Web Site: http://www.aaandroid.com/index.php/myhomepage/
Developer Contact: contact [at] aaandroid.com
Price: Free/$1 (initial release price, normally $1.99)
Free Version: Beta 1.0.3
Pro Version: 1.0
The free version is ad supported. The pro version will remove ads and add a couple of themes. As My Home Page is developed further, more extra features will be added to the pro version.
My Home Page, available for purchase in the Android Market, SlideME.org and AndAppStore.com.

So, this basicly generates a html file that sorts and displays what you specify in the app?
I used to make homepages like this myself using html on the computer and storing it on SD card and making it the homepage manually, however I love this idea. An app that will just do it all from the phone just saves the coding/updating on computer AND transfering to the SD card. Pretty slick idea. Checking it out now.

Just nabbed Pro from the Market. I like how this looks. Also a Cachemate fan. Keep up the awesome work.

Error
I get an error when trying to set the home page......I setup a couple folders, added some links, then hit the 'Set Home Page' button, and click OK to confirm. It grants super user permissions, and then an error pops up:
Code:
An error has occurred: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare(). Please report it to the developer.

Good work and great idea. I suggest to insert the possibile to import an external (from SD) file for import the bookmarks.
If I have right understand, in this moment is possibile to import only from the Android Browser, I would like to export and prepare file from the Mac.
Thank's.

Just an update that I got this to work if I turned off the option to use superuser.

I'm working on this error. If you can post a logcat to pastebin.com it would be a big help. The app is actually working. You will just have to set your home page using the manual method.
This is also why I released it as a beta

OMG, this is exactly the app i was looking for.
I had the idea of such an app for months!
Thanks for it!

the cat ran across the road?!
wow! m already starting to like this app,
xD

pretty cool,i've been looking for somthing like this.

Suggestions
This is a great great app and a really good idea.. but I wanna give you some suggestions. The GUI is messy and doesn't properly use space.
On the very top is the Clipboard entry area (this should be at the bottom as its not usually used) it occupies immediately 1/2 of the screen with a large area that is totally wasted. Then, if there are contents on the clipboard they are not displayed nicely in the window (really ugly).
Then because of large unused area for the clipboard, now the Custom entry are is hidden when the keyboard is pulled-up (which by the way should pop-up immediately and it doesn't). Then if I want to add an icon, that menu selection is at the very bottom, so I have to close the keyboard to get there and, that menu doesn't have icon previews, just bullets (it needs icon previews as like the PICK ICON menu item). Finally the NOTE CUSTOM MESSAGE is at the very bottom (worse place), needs to be at the top.
All this makes a single entry an endless effort of way too many clicks to get anything done. I'm on a 7" Galaxy Tab. Look at the screenshots and get inspired
Finally, for this app to make ANY SENSE, it needs to be AS EASY TO ACCESS AS THE NOTES IT CREATES!!!!!!!!!! So, make it run as a hidden notification so it can be pulled down from the taskbar and activated (like the app Clipper - Clipboard manager for example.. you can check it out on the market if you are not sure what I mean)
Really nice app though. I want to love it.. you just need to make it right now

I've already added some features to the program, including the short cut you suggested, just my keystore is 100+ miles away on my desktop so I cant yet publish the update (its been sitting around for over a month).
I have also updated the gui, it shows only what is relevant at a given moment and keyboard no longer poses an issue on my nexus s, literally the app has everything you want (its just not published), i'm working on it

havok123, thanks for the feedback, this is great news! I didn't mean at all to be harsh or overly criticizing.. think your app is truly fantastic and therefor I just would like it you to get it perfect! I'm happy you decided to learn Java just to program this... totally worth it!
When you have an update for the or if you want me to help you beta test/trouble shoot an updated version, post the info here on the thread or PM me. Id love to help you if I can.
Keep up the great work and when its perfect make a paid version. It will be worth it and I think many people would buy it. You can definitely count me in and your work should be rewarded!

Just uploaded update finally.
Updated to 3.0
Changelog:
What's in this version:
N Clip Shortcut
Edit notifications on click
Updated GUI
Bug fixes

Great update, interface much more workable & cleaner.
One suggestion that immediately comes 2mind is, get rid of the sticky app icon that shows up on taskbar when selecting the enable shortcut option. No ned & cluttery. IfU add a note without chooding custom icon, now there are DOUBLE app icons on the taskbar being displayed one of which is NOT a note.. very confusing and unecessary.
If the enable shortcut opion is chosen, we know its there in the pulldown menu already, thats enough &keeps taskbar cleaner for actual notifications only

going to get on it over christmas break xD

Sorry for my bad English .
Hope there was an option that allow users play only 1 Flash content on heavy Flash Page like firefox add-on: flashblock, it's dissable all flash content and when you want to see it, just click on it.

working great so far. wish u can change the color of that highlight that comes up when u move your finger along the screen.

@moisesdc650, if we get enough requests, we'll be able to change the color...I just want to be honest with you... =) In the meanwhile, would you tell me what color you like? ^_^

can you just remove ALL the chinese affiliated links like 3g.qq.com, baidu etc from the address bar?
it clutters and looks very unprofessional.
btw, why would the browser need to have permission to take pictures?

@mystifiyer, thanks for your feedback, the suggested Chinese links will be removed no later than the next release, which is scheduled to be early March. I am working hard to see if we can remove them early and publish another version before next release.
The picture taking feature is one of our very unique features, which allows you to take a picture and save it as your browser avatar, and sync it to your desktop browser. Some users dont find it useful, while many of them like it. Sorry for the confusion, and I hope you can understand our rationale behind it. =)

I'm falling in love with this browse

@ruhmu, thanks....=)

You guys just earned yourself the spot as my default browser. Glad I could help you. Just curious if you could possibly try to improve startup times? It isn't a big deal and it is hard to measure because of the way that android manages tasks but it seems to be a little slow on the initial startup.

Bug Report!
I was browsing a news site and had opened a few tabs (I think 5 were open) and one of them was a review on an app, so I opened Market to try it out. I searched it and hit install, and then switched over to Maxthon to finish reading while it downloaded. Instead of having my tabs open like I left it, it showed the black screen as if I had killed it and it was restarting (I guess the system must've killed it) but then it started into my RSS feeds list and is stuck there now. If I hit the back button on my phone or in the app it goes back to the market instead of going back into the browser.
/edit: I opened it with the icon instead of the task switcher and it opened to my tabs like I had them. So it only gets locked in the RSS reader screen if I try to switch tasks.

Maxthon: You mentioned that Maxthon installs into sdcard if it's 2.2 or higher? But I supposed not.
From the above screenshot, you see that Maxthon is still in my phone memory taking up 3.92MB. A check in my Applications setting also show Maxthon is in phone memory.
If an app is in sdcard, it should look like this...
Notice Miren Browser uses 2.14MB, but that's in my sdcard, so I'm fine.
Maybe you can look into moving Maxthon data into sdcard too?

[APP] Gallery Excluder v.1.1.1 (11.05.2011)

Inspired by this post on the blog I decided to ease up the exclusion of directories from the gallery/media database. Gallery Excluder does the job for me.
Here's why:
Many apps create folders on the sd-card and drop their stuff there. Often, they place images as well. Now that Android checks the sd-card for new media from time to time, these folders will be added to the media database and displayed in the stock Gallery app.
Here's how:
Gallery Excluder lists all direct subfolders of '/sdcard' respectively '/mnt/sdcard' and displays them in a list. If an item/folder gets checked there is a '.nomedia' placed in that folder. If the folder gets unchecked the '.nomedia' is removed.
Since it can take a while to have the gallery update you can force a manual update via options menu.
So please let me know if such a tool can be helpful for anyone except myself.
Now with subdirectories. Downside: there is no feedback when you selected a subfolder for its parent. E.g. when you excluded /mnt/sdcard/folder/subfolder/ you can't recognize it when viewing folder /mnt/sdcard/ (folder won't be selected).
If you feel like supporting my work click some ads. This is an experiment for me to figure if ads work. Thank you.
Market release
- long press an item to dive into the subfolder
- back takes you up one level
- select all/none
- hint for 1st time users
- external sd card support
TODO for next version(s):
- external sd card support
- white list mode

Thanks in advance,
Steff

This sounds very useful! Ill give it a try
--
works great. got rid of a bunch of cached Beautiful Widget Themes thumbnails and other stuff cluttering the gallery
From something awesome

works a treat, nice and simple saves me messing about .nomedia files.
Thumbs up from me

Great idea. I just DL'ed QuickPic to fix this exact problem. I'll give it a shot!

Also, if you don't mind me suggesting, it would be nice to have an option where you select which folders to add instead of which folders to remove from the gallery. Then if any new apps add new folders with random images they would automatically have .nomedia added
From something awesome

check out the app "quickpic" -- kinda does what you're talking about here.

Just a heads up...
It wouldn't exclude the folder "com.espn.score_center" no matter how many times I tried. I had to manually add the .nomedia file myself to get it to work...

Glad you guys like it.
@killersnowman: I could introduce a black-list/white-list mode that lets you choose which way around you want to look at it.

Thanks mate! Yes this is useful, .nomedia files made easy and simple

more ss plzzzz

love this, now all my custom icons won't show up in gallery
thanks

Knox!!!, simply amazing! When will you roll this out to the android market? It will be a sensation. Cleaned up all the duplicated gallery pics, etc.

@V07T: does "ss" mean screenshots?
@Rico ANDROID: hm, good question. I could publish it on the market right now. Don't know if there is a need for it. I don't wanna spoil the market with another crappy app that noone needs...

I bet you just about every newbie to android as well as others are having the same clutter in Gallery and would love the results of duplicated clutter removed from the Gallery Display. I have been chasing down cached and replicated pics and icons . This app made it so easy.
You should upload it unless you are working on a paid version. I dont know how that works but wish I had your skills.

awesome, now my porn doesn't have to show in gallery!

Chencking in to say no errors here. I have powered down and booted up, no glitches at all

Sweet, sounds good.
Will give you guys time to check for errors until tomorrow. If there will be no glitches found I'll release it to the market.
Btw., I'm thinking about introducing tabs. One for a black-list, one for a white-list (see screenshots). What do you think?

Tabs look great . Love to hear others feedback too, but I am sold!

Nice App, I was using something else on the market for this, but glad this one is on XDA!
For me I only need gallery to scan just a few folders
1)\sdcard\MyDocs
2)\sdcard\DCIM
3)\sdcard\Zedge (or other wallpaper download app)
A white list to add just a few folders (with nested subfolders) will be great, provided that once you enter something into the white list it should exclude every other folder (ignoring the black list)

How would you like 36TB's of storage?? FOR FREE!!!
So who is offering this? Qihoo 360, which is some Chinese company, only information I could find: is a Chinese company best known for its antivirus software. I would advise you to be cautious I haven't use any of the services yet and it does require you to download a desktop app and mobile client. You can delete these after all is setup and everything will stay you don't have to have them installed but you must install them to get the extra space.
*NOTE:This is a Chinese company, use your best judgment on what you store. I do not plan on storing sensitive information on here or any type of data that you would hate to loose or for someone else to get their hands on; that's what Dropbox, OneDrive, Share, Copy, and all the other secure cloud hosts are for and why you get a limited amount of free storage I'm a Network Technican in a call center and have tons of non sensitive stats, reports, and recording that we use just to track progress of the system that is in multiple locations so this give me another backup and will remove it off my computer at home atleast. I have 3 other backups to the data this is just another avenue so if all my stuff get's deleted I'm not at a loss, nor if anyone happens to get access to my account and look through it they'll see lots of numbers and data but nothing that's gonna hurt me or anyone else and more or less just annoy someone looking at the data trying to find a meaning.
Think of it this way:
This is like your front porch; You can use it to store things, but someone can still walk by and take something.

NOTE: If you have any problems or troubles and can't figure something out I suggest this trick. Download the new Google Translate app off of Play store and use the new camera feature!! This made everything simple (had use 2 phones) because all I had to do was take a picture of the screen I was stuck at to find out the translation.
So lets go ahead and start. Here are the steps to getting setup:
1. Go to http://yunpan.360.cn
2. You should see a blue and white screen with a login box towards the right with some scrolling images to the left. Click the blue text at the bottom of the forum.
3. You should now be on a registration screen, here is the translation:
Welcome to register 360 cloud disk
Email (Mailbox)
Password (6-20 Characters)
Confirm Password
Verification Code (Not Case Sensitive)
I have read and agree to the "360 User Terms of Service"
Sign up now
4. You should then be redirected to a site with a green android looking guy and instructions to check your email to activate. You have 48 hours.
5. After you've verified your email go to http://down.360safe.com/yunpan/360wangpan_setup.exe to download the Qihoo 360 Windows Client
6. Once you have everything downloaded and install run the application
7. When the application first starts you should get a login screen (blue box) that has 2 tabs. Here is the translation:
Tab 1: Ordinary Login | Tab 2: Seamless Login
360 Account Login
Account
Password
Remember Password | Automatic Login
Log in
Forgot Password (Under log in button)
Note: If you get a pop up while logging in means you haven't activated your account yet
8. After you log in you should see that you start with 360GB, and after your first login you should get a pop-up like this:
Translation:
Congratulation
Obtain large cloud disk space permanently
"Something about how many harddrives it equals"
Click to receive
9. If you click the link you should now be at 10.4 TB, but what about the other 26TB?
10. To get the other 26TB you have to install the Android app which is the reason for me posting this so we can get it translated!
11. Download link for the android app: http://down.360safe.com/yunpan/360yunpan_android.apk (There is an iOS app)
12. Install the downloaded apk, one weird thing is that the app seemed to auto close on tablet. I used and old junk tablet we let the kids play with incase it was infected.
13. Open the app and this is where maybe someone can shed some light as I didn't translate the splash screen so I'm not sure what the 2 options are for. I can tell you that option 1 (Blue) will only allow you to enter a phone number but not sure what it's linked back to. Option 2 the grey option is the one that we want as we already created a 360 account.
14. Click the grey 360 tab to open the login screen
15. Input your email, pass and login (This is actually in english if your phone is set to english)
16. Press the login button and BAM 26TB instantly!!!!
17. I can't move around the app very well in Chinese but if you go back to your desktop client and check your space it should be at 36.4TB now!!!
Thats it! If you look at the first screen shot you will see it lists 36.4TB the second shot is initial setup showing the 360GB

If you have any questions be more than happy to ask and I'll do my best to answer as well as post my progress
