Hi,
No, we are not objective. No, we don't have the best UI, but our great engine just got much better, so why not try it?
The i-nigma barcode scanner for Android has a brand new engine under the hood, which is equal in performance to
its proven and acclaimed iPhone engine (also available for free in the App-Store). The new engine scans more
codes and does it faster. You can scan QR, Datamatrix, EAN and UPC in a flash and share the information with your
friends.
In order to get i-nigma on your Android just go to i-nigma dot mobi from your
mobile browser, or search for "i-nigma" in the Market. Alternatively if you already have a barcode scanner and want to try others, feel free to scan our avatar.
Cheers,
The i-nigma team
PS - You can also follow us on Facebook (search for "i-nigma"), where we post relevant i-nigma updates
Sorry, I won't try it unless the app ceases to access my contacts. A barcode reader should have nothing to do with contact data.

It does if you want it to share with your contacts, which this app does.

According to the permissions and Android Developers, this app can write to contacts, but not read contacts.

I don't mean to be rude but what exactly makes yours so good? I mean, Google Goggles can do all this and translate foreign languages. Can yours do that?

Same here, apps should CALL INTO the Contacts to send the info. They can certainly do this, I've seen apps do it. It doesn't require them to have direct access to the contacts themselves, they're just passing in information to some other app.

If I even want that functionality. Regardless, it can be done different ways which doesn't require such permissions.
Contacts and what makes us special
First of all I'd like to address the more pressing matter - permissions.
i-nigma has no need to read a user's contacts but does need permission to write it (write, not overwrite, mind you). In case a code containing a VCARD is scanned we need the user's permission to add it to the contact list. This is the only use i-nigma makes of this permission.
There is currently a debate regarding the option to read a contact and share it by showing it on the screen as QR (much faster than sending a text message), but as you can imagine, while 50% would like to see this happen, the other 50% doesn't want the extra READ_CONTACTS permission there at all.
Now back to our boasting. Google does an amazing job at...well...almost everything it touches, there's no doubt about it. i-nigma's special weapon has always been its scanning engine. Actually i-nigma was the first one around and its engine now occupies more than 90% of Japanese-made phones (pre-installed-engine not as part of i-nigma). Most if not all readers do a very good job at reading clear codes from a flat surface, but the difference appears when scanning hard-to-scan codes.
No we don't translate foreign languages. For that google translate does the trick, or goggles if you insist, btu we take pride in having a version that behaves the same on most platforms. While this is an Android forum, many of our users started with Java devices and moved to Balckberry, iPhone, Android, Symbian or Windows-mobile. All of them were very happy to see i-nigma remains the same. If they are happy - so are we
Last but not least try emailing [email protected] if you have a question regarding the app, a request or an idea, and see what happens.
I hope this answers most of your questions.
The i-nigma team
I must say that I love this app. Works quick and the option to share or go online is awesome!
Please make the next version for us screens. Some of the images are in fuzzy quality atm.
If you need a dutch translation of the app just pm me.

Hello people, i present you a new Augmented Reality App on the Android Market:
FriendsRadar is a mobile App with which you can find your friends* in the easiest way with the augmented reality view (AR). Think about that, how many times are you in a place trying to meet some friends but you can not locate them (Don't be afraid about localization, we considered your privacy concerns, therefore you can activate your GPS for few minutes then turn it off, you can select what friend can receive your position, etc., YOU have the control).
You also have the GoogleMaps view like GoogleLatitude to locate yourself and your friends, and a ListView where you can manage your 5 or 300 friends.
One click over the friends and you can chat with them, send them a SMS, EMAIL or call them too.
It works on all Android (1.6 Version and beyond) mobile devices that have an Internet connection and a GPS receiver.
*The App works at the moment with google accounts. In the future others will be supported, so rate it according to it, be fear please!
Do you have pics or a video of it in action? It sounds cool I'd just like to see how it works
How can I insert here a picture?
I think like because I'm a new user here i cant post outside links, so you can search for the FriendsRadar page on facebook, there are some pictures, or google it.

Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a powerful app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.ussd.widget.lite
Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.

does this check data usage for how many GB's you use in a month (for those like me that use over 5 GB a month. lol )
Yes, all you need is the right USSD command for your operator... just look for it online and add it in the app!
ill download this later
this is what I've been loking for!
will install when my HD2 finished being repaired..
Please don't forget to post your USSD commands!

*BAL# (*225#) for current billing balance.
*DATA# (*3282#) for data and messaging use.
*PAY to make a payment over the phone.
The app doesn't respond to the returned tests (streak 5). I added (104) to handcent's black list so it didn't pop up and the text is in the messaging inbox, but this app only shows"There is no predefined indicators"
I'm not sue I entirely understand. Could you please reiterate exactly what you set as the dial code, what message was returned and what have handsent and blacklists to do with it?
Thanks for the codes though, ill post them in the library thread

We didn't steal anything.
There have been similar apps for years, including on other platforms. What makes Balanced different is that its better - we have better widgets, better functionality and better support.
Perhaps you should write the people who made pandas vs ninjas and tell them how appauled you are at competitive markets... oh wait, you are the competition!
@ftgg99 this app looks great, i'll give it a try and give you my feedback. Thanks
This looks interesting, does anyone know any ussd codes for Cricket?
Sorry for my English. translate.google.com ... Motorola XT502, Android 2.3.3, does not work. Continuously requires reboot.
Hey how do i add an indicator for a USSD code? I have ATT. when i added the USSD i received texts back and that was it. In the app it says that the codes dont have any indicators. am i missing something?

I've seen a few App Requests posted as threads here, and I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to act as a catchall for App Requests. I gather that we have Dev Dudes from major tech corps roaming around these halls, so why not have a list of apps we want as consumers easily available to them!
I'll kick things off with these requests:
-A good, integrated guitar/bass tuner with metronome and practice timer(s)
-Adobe Camera RAW interface
-Adobe Bridge for tablets
-VLC Player for tablets
-DJ mixing software that can use headphone output and HDMI [audio] separately for cue/mix output
Feel free to point us to apps that fill requests as they are developed or if they have existed before the request

I'd like an app that you can instantly take a snapshot of the screen or take a camera snapshot and start to annotate on it right away, e.g you were browsing and came across something of interest and you want to add your own comments and underline or mark a specific area.
I know this can be done using repligo or ezpdf however it will involve a few steps to achieve using the Asus's in built snapshot feature and then converting the document to pdf in order to annotate but I want something instant without having to convert the file first, similar to htc flyers note taking app.
Can't you do this with Evernote? I just downloaded this last night but it seems really slick.

Unfortunately, you cannot annotate using evernote although it is fantastic for taking notes, i use it at work at meetings. I want to be able to take a snapshot of the meeting agenda which is usually printed and then start to add notes against agenda items.
I'm just going to make a list of the things I think will make this brilliant - I'm a very small time developer, and don't have the skills to do these, unfortunately:
Something similar to Microsoft Onenote - Drawing/notes/annotations all in one
"Phone Sync" where you pick up your tablet, and it also becomes your phone for SMS, MMS, Calls, and you can share clipboards between the two - This would be brilliant!
Decent Twitter and Facebook widgets
Modified Launcher with resizable widgets, folders - ideally, LauncherPro optimised for Honeycomb.
I'd like to see the Monkey Island games and some of the old Cinemaware titles such as Defender Of The Crown on Android.

I designed an Android app for tablet which I think would be pretty easy to make, UI, name, logo and all, but... I'm not a programmer. Also I believe this will be an app which would be handy for a lot of people.
Since I designed, thought of and branded the app I really don't just want to give the idea away to anyone, but if any app developer is interested feel free to contact me and I could explain the concept to them.
PS: I don't want a share of the profits or to get paid for it or anything like that, all I would want is to find a developer who could do justice to not only the concept but also to the design since there are so many well functioning but terrible looking android apps.
Excellent posts!
Thanks for the interest and the activity on the thread!
I'm watching a thread where a couple Asus dev dudes have actually weighed in on an issue users are having, so I'm gonna see if I can't point them to this one so we'll have some ears that can make a difference. Hopefully some [all?] of the ideas here will filter thru and become reality!
Kudos to everyone!
I'd like an app that can sync via bluetooth (not via the web/cloud), incoming sms messages/caller id/missed call info, from an android phone directly to the transformer with notifications.
I know there are lots which do it via the web, but this isn't an option for me (pre-pay sim not contract).
EDIT:
Another idea for an app, don't know if possible to implement or not. When browsing google search results it would be nice to have an app that lets you see how many kilobytes or megabytes a website requires you to download, before you accessed the page. So that mobile users can see how much data is required and can manage their free allowance better, or not be charged a fortune.
A media player app that can
1. have gesture controls like moboplayer
2. have good codec support like moboplayer
3. can stream from server
4. and can hide the honeycomb taskbar!!!!
Settlers of Catan map generator
Would be cool to see a Settlers of Catan map generator with support for Seafarers, Cities and Knights, Harbours and a roll counter.
did it ever occur to anyone that now that there is a keyboard and mouse capabilities that someone should port an fps to the transformer?
I would love an app/widget that monitored the battery of both the Transformer and the keyboard dock. It's almost impossible to tell how much juice is left in the keyboard. If someone knows of an app/widget or a built-in way to do that, please let me know.
Edit: I would also love to see a folder app that integrates data from the Market, so if I download a game, it automatically adds it to the Games folder, etc.

Hi there,
This software is an Antitheft and you can use it to track your device when it was lost or stolen. It works catching a formated SMS/EMail sent from any phone/computer and then receiving useful informations back.
You can use it to others objectives, like keep your eye in your child. Use your imagination!
You can set up to four emergengy contacts to receive SMS if the thief change your SIM card and you still can track your device.
The RemoteTracker for Android is an evolution from an old project for Windows Mobile 6 (If you want to see the entire history, please click here).
I'm justing starting this project. There are much more to come.
This version answer the commands below:
rt#gp#<some_phone_number>#<password> - try to get GPS coordinates and send back to cel number passed as parameter.
rt#egp#<some_e-mail_account> - try to get GPS coordinates and send back to e-mail passed as parameter.
rt#gi - Send informations about your phone: IMSI, IMEI and ICCID.
rt#egi - Same as 'gi' but the answer goes by e-mail.
This project can be multi-language. In this version there is only English (sorry about it, my english is very bad because this is not my mother language). If you want to make your own translate, I can tell how. Very simple.
If you decide to try RemoteTracker, I would like to read reviews, comments and suggestions. Remember this is a beta version and may contain bugs. Use at your own risk and with caution.
--> It is a work in progress. In future versions I will make a lot more.

Hello All,

I was actually looking for a good tracker I can integrate into my own personal custom ROM. I'll have a look.
Please pvt me with your email. I'll send the apk to you.
Wow, nice to see this make it to Android.
Some suggestions,
1: Name it something that isn't obvious in the market. Don't want a thief easily finding it in the installed apps list. Going to the market and then buying "my apps" shows you exactly what's installed. So you should name it something totally different that nobody would suspect or want to remove. Like "memory maximizer" or something like that. Probably want to keep it in the middle of the alphabet so it's not at the top or bottom of the list.
2: Maybe make a way to remotely monitor the front/rear camera. Then you could get the thief on video (and also see if it's a crowd, or some huge guy you don't want to mess with, lol).
I'll try to help test when I get another phone and more time. Right now I don't have a lot of time to work out bugs. And more importantly I only have the 1 phone, and I can't afford to have it malfunctioning (I need it for work). I'll buy a used extra phone for testing and then I'll help test.

Correction: I found a review on Theft Aware (now in the Avast suite) that statet this:
"GPS is enabled automatically + GPS icon hides while the app is determining the phone's position (root is required for this on some phones, as it doesn't work without root 100% of the time)."

Tired of taking notes manually? This app makes life easier for you!
Set some keywords, and AutoNotes will automatically take text notes of interested information from your clipboard, typed sentences and things that appear on your screen!
E.g. Set "appointment" as a keyword, when "appointment" appears in a Gmail, the Email content will be saved into a note.
Due to Android's limitation, AutoNotes cannot process everything that ever appears on your screen. So please copy very important information into clipboard in order to make sure that AutoNotes has saved it for you.
This is my second Android app, your suggestions and feedbacks are very appreciated
Changelog
========
2.0
- Regular expression support
- Option to be notified when a note is created
- Minor performance improvements
3.0
- Ability to export notes to SD card
- Ability to search past notes by regex or keyword
- Settings are now saved upon app restart
- Minor user interface improvements
This is a fantastic idea. I had no clue this was possible without root. Nice work.
Oh, and look what we have here...
pretty nice app, thanks a lot
Gonna give this a try
This is a free app... why don't allow it to "sell" in China? Its bad enough that all us China Android fans can only get apps on dodgy alernative markets even if we have valid credit cards and/or paypal. But this is a free app. Please make it available world wide. Limiting market availability does not prevent piracy... it encourages it.

No problem. I have enabled the app in all countries.
Here I also attached the APK file if you would like to install it straight away.
I already rated AutoNotes on the market, but I figured to make my suggestions (sent to Guo in PM) public here for review:
Question: are keywords searched for regarding case or case insensitively?
I'd like to have two options next to each keyword: "case insensitive" and "pattern", maybe off by default. The "pattern" knob should interpret a keyword as a regular expression or perhaps as a glob pattern like in Unix filenames.
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830
Just one other thing: keywords should also have a "negate" or "not" flag: if keywords with such a flag are encountered, AutoNotes should ignore the text. In case one needs to email passwords or other credentials. While such an email would be sent encrypted (of course!), AutoNotes sees the cleartext, so this is kinda important ...
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830
Got another one: every note has the valuable button "copy to clipboard". When I use it, the note goes to the clipboard, but then I need to use the back button several times to exit Autonotes.
How about a configuration option "exit after clipboard copy" that will immediately exit Autonotes and thereby return to the app where I want to paste the note?

I love this app. It solves my biggest frustration with Android. This app is absolutely effective.
I want to export all the notes although TB does restore everything. I can't find the data file...although I haven't really put an all out effort to find it... are the notes encrypted or in a basic text file?
