[APP] The best barcode scanner just got better

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?

Was wondering this also. I think barcode scanners are great and useful; just wanna know what sets this apart? Thanks

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.

RemoteTracker for Android - Antitheft software

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.

All the best,
Joubert Vasconcelos

Hello All,
If you want to try RemoteTracker as a beta tester, please e-mail me. I'll upload RemoteTracker to Market, but I need to be sure there are no bugs and I'll be very happy to have more people testing.
All the best,
Joubert

I sent a message to you in pvt.

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.

Check roundup (1). Only "Android Lost" and "Cerberus" can capture photos and audio.
Very important to me: Only "Android Lost" can activate GPS AND WLAN by SMS control!

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)."

New version 3.10.9 Play Store with many small innovations

It will not be one of the versions that probably go down in history this 3.10.9, which takes the place of the previous 3.9.17, but, no matter how small, the innovations introduced are numerous and we're not sure appreciated them all.
We start from the section recommended for you. Whether it's app or books (advice on music yet they are not), or even if you are on the homepage of the store, blocking the slice with the Google personalized recommendations you'll notice that at the top there is a new voice, "improve these councils, "which allows us to add people you know to find out their tastes and also receive recommendations based on them (or so says the description of the function). Good theory, too bad that the vast majority of contacts proposed were complete strangers from the other side of the world, with which (we checked) we did not even vague contacts on Google+. We look forward to a future refinement.
Then continue with the translations. Some apps now have a button "translate" at their description, which basically will only call into question Google Translate on the fly to change the text in a language more understandable to us. In this case the theory is good, pity we did not understand when and when not to appear: comparing different applications, different languages, some of them had the button translate it and other were completely lacking. Also in this case we are confident in a future refinement.
If these two functions must be short andarsele a little 'to seek, we turn now to a thing you will see rather often. You will all familiar with the installation of new apps: you choose one, went on his page, click on install, accept the permissions and you will be thrown back to the description of the app while the progress bar will indicate the percentage of completion. Not any more. After accepting the permissions, and then return to the description of the app, you have inserted a new page, which you can see an example on the right. The aim is to highlight related app and installed by others, but the match as you know is not always the best, by clicking on "back to shopping" you will still be redirected to the description of the app to start. We did not find a way to disable this feature, which basically requires a tap in to install any new app. Annoying.
And finally we come to the last news, the only one on which we could hardly rely on something: it is now possible to remove items from the wish list by tapping on the icon in that list, without having to open a description of each app. It is the same method used to delete applications from the complete list of all the ones we have ever installed and certainly saves us a few more steps. Nicely done.
After then the description of the new features, I leave you the link to download the Play Store:http://d-h.st/ZZB

Thank you for the hint!

Thanks for letting us now

[APP][4.0.3+] pypmin web monitor

Hey all,
pypmin is a web monitoring application for administrators, it helps you keep track of the availability and response time of your website applications on the go using your phones internet connection.
You simply build a list of websites and pypmin will poll them in the background. When a website is unreachable pypmin alerts you with the http status code, you can also opt in to receive alerts whenever the content of the website changes.
You can configure the poll interval, and also the threshold of consecutive failures before an alert is made, in order to account for occasional problems with your phones connectivity.
I made this app a few weeks ago as a private tool for monitoring the websites that I host, I figured it was ready to dish out to people. Please tell me what you think, if you end up using it and want new features then please let me know.
You can find the app at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creepy.pyp
Edit: New features including content change alerts have been added to version 1.0.6, there is now also a pro version with extras on the play store. Some advanced settings have been made pro exclusive, so if you rely on those settings you'll have to stick with 1.0.5, which will remain attached to this thread.

For those interested, I've added an APK file.

Has anyone had a chance to try this out? I'd be interested to know of any opinions/issues you've come across. So far I've only managed to test it on the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5 and Galaxy Note.

Funnily enough I'm actually in the process of making a version of this for myself. Stats such as visitor counts and server CPU and memory usage would have to come via the server itself, or an analytics platform, so to add this in I'd have to dish out some scripts and a tutorial for setting this up on your own server.
I'm definitely willing to do that as an open source project, since I'm making it anyway, but I'll want some time to finish it and test it thoroughly. If anyone else is interested in this then let me know which analytics platform you use, if any, and I'll see what I can do.

One suggestion, if the option of persistent mode was available I/we could set the polling time to hourly and we would be notified if issues occurred.

Would you be able to add a feature where it tells you if changes have been made/site was updated since the last poll?
For example, I randomly check http://desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC/ for new builds of firmware (DDWRT) for my router. This app is very light weight and it would be great if it would respond back and say "Hey, the site I've been randomly checking for you to make sure it's up has also been updated with new content."
This would be valuable to myself and I am willing to throw you 5 bucks if you can add it.
Thanks!

Very helpful, thx for this app.

For example, I am admin on 2 wordpress-homepages with low traffic hosted on cheap web-hotels. Those web-hotel-provideres run badly designed robots, that looks for suspicius code on all their sites, and changes my .htaccess if the robot thinks, it has found something (without warning me).
This feature could help find a changed .htaccess file faster than I can do it today.

Adding an option to run nrpe/nagios checks remotely on Windows boxes would be most useful. I monitor with nagios, and use nrpe for all of windows vm's. Health, mem, cpu, etc. Open source so can likely make use of nrpe in this handy little app.

Hey all! I've just uploaded pypmin version 1.0.6 to this thread as well as the play store.
Version 1.0.6 has the following extras:
- Optional alerts for content changes (configured per website)
- Export your pyp items (for importing into the new pro version)
I have also released pypmin pro to the play store. It's a paid version that has a new benchmarking utility for testing the performance of your server. Some of the advanced settings in 1.0.5 have been made exclusive to the pro version, so if you rely on those settings you might want to stick to version 1.0.5 if you're unwilling to buy the pro version.
I'm currently working on having server side statistics integrated into pypmin, but I haven't got a full plan for this yet so I can't say if or when it will be ready. Please let me know if there are any extra features you'd like and thanks for giving pypmin a try!

Hey all, pypmin was recently updated to version 1.1.2, this adds the ability to specify the exact response code expected for each individual website. This allows you to monitor websites where a '200 OK' response is not actually expected.
For example, you could be monitoring a website that requires authentication, and so you would specify the code 401 to be expected. With that option set pypmin will not only alert you when an error is returned, but also when a 200 response is recieved which indicates that you have accidentally opened up the site to unauthorized clients.
Enjoy.

[APP][5.0+] qeuBot - Chatbot for WhatsApp (no root)

qeuBot is a personal chatbot similar to Telegram inline bots or any other chatbots you may have encountered elsewhere. It can perform online operations as well as offline ones seamlessly through WhatsApp itself. No registration or adding of phone numbers is required.
Accessibility service needs to be turned on for qeuBot to work. With the app itself being less than 2 MB in size, it requires a maximum of 20-25 MB RAM when performing complex operations, while at other times, it requires no more than 5-10 MB to run in background. qeuBot runs only when WhatsApp is running in foreground and ignores all other foreground and background apps or services.
Screenshots
Screenshots are attached to the end of this post. Here's the link to the Imgur Album.
Features
Currently, qeuBot is capable of performing the following operations:
- Looking up Wikipedia articles
- Performing mathematical calculations
- Fetching news regarding any topic through Google News
- Providing movie ratings through IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes
- GIF search through Giphy
- Image search through Bing (Note that you need to use your own API key to avail this service)
- Current day and 5-day weather forecast of any region through Yahoo Weather
- Daily horoscope
More features will be added accordingly. Request for more features will be entertained in thread, not in PM.
*While most of the features can be used free of cost, you will need to make an in-app purchase to use image/GIF search and news search*
Privacy
No information is collected at all for the use of this app. We do not need to know your name, phone number, email address or anything of the sort for you to use the app. All kinds of exchange happen entirely between you and the 3rd party service providing you with the required information. There is no middle man, there is no logging of the queries you make, not even for analytics.
Is this legal?
Yes, completely. While WhatsApp has been known to ban accounts/numbers acting as bots, this will not be the case here. There is no phone number that one should add in a group or send a message to in order to get a reply. The app works independent of the service without exploiting any unofficial APIs.

Note
- MIUI devices are not supported officially (yet)
- Image Search requires a Bing API Key which is available free of cost with rate limits upto 1000 calls per month. Get yours here - https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/bing-image-search-api

First of all thank you for making it free.
It's an amazing app which is very useful at least for me in certain conversation.
One thing annoyed me is,
When I use things like news or horoscope or anything with text.
I don't know whether it's working in background or app is killed.
If you can add something like spinner or loader it would be good.
Anyways thumbs up for the app.

Making a separate assistant will be useless since people will expect it to be on the same level as Google Assistant. Let's wait till Google opens up their API, then I'll think about adding it.
Make sure you use only numbers for the calculator. Invalid expressions will not work.
