***
I am going to talk about a plug-in I wrote for the Sony Ericsson LiveView.
However, if you guys wish to discuss development for that device or how to make it work better, this is also welcome because it is both intriguing and under-represented (and a bit maddening at times)
Anyway, I was flabbergasted when I realized that there isn't any straightforward "watch" plug-in for the LiveView so in a couple hours I figured out how to use the SDK and created one.
I am not releasing it yet and I will only make it available it there is interest for it and I get the appropriate permissions from the people whose art I have used for this proof of concept app.
By the way, more face and hands art would be welcome!
A few (terrible) screenshots:

My LiveView was sent from the website i ordered it from, today=) I would really such an addon=)
And i can make you some artwork if i get something to work with=)

Oh, that's good.
I hope it works well for you. The device losing its pairing can be quite aggravating.
On the other hand it is a breeze to develop for; actually simpler than writing a home screen widget.

A friend of mine got it last week and said that he had lost his pairing once since he got it set up.
To me no development is a breeze i know squat about programing
But as said i would love to make you some graphics you could use so that you can release this=)

^^
I just received a sms from my post office that my LiveView had arrived
and here are a little graphic preview of some artwork you might use(?) It shows the whole thing, background, minute hand and hour hand=)
I really think you should release this addon

Ha! I like it a lot, in fact.
Can you post it as three files as described at http://www.voilaweb.com/lv_faq#createtheme?
Oh, and I updated the OP with a link to the beta apk

Will do, Just have to make some minor changes as the big and short hand are the same. and also added some indicators on the clock face.
Edit: Also, will you support this addon? i mean like bugs and stuff?

I guess, I will have to, yes

So, anyone go any feedback for me?

hey man.
i just installed your app from market and it's looking great.
i guess you can make a clock with digits or maybe a digital one.
it still disconnects but at least i have a watch
one other thing maybe you can ad an always on screen option

MrJay, first off, thanks for your feedback
The "always on" option would be nice but I invite you to think about this some more...say until your device dies on you because its damn battery is already too weak for the plug-in's current version
EDIT: OK I really don't want to sound negative. The device is really nice. I just wish it had better connectivity and battery life.
In fact, the tricks I read on how to force it to reconnect using AutomateIt, etc., end up sucking battery life like crazy.

The only thing i have to say about this addon, is that its a bit slow to update when i wake the screen. might take a sec before the clock shows the correct time.
Other than that, i love it

Thanks Marius.
Yes, I know about the 1 sec. delay it's due to sending as few updates to the device as possible, to improve battery life.
But maybe I could slightly alter this behavior for a "wake up" event.
BTW, I hope you guys are using the version from the market! It's free, but more likely to get updates than the one on my blog.

i stopped using automateit. it didn't do that much and yes you're right about the crappy battery life .
anyway keep up the good job. it's a nice to have application.

I ordered one of these devices today after seeing this post, fantastic plugin! this is perfect for when I'm at work, seeing as I work outside and don't have time to check my phone for any updates, much less the time. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Where can I order this I'm interested I live in California if that makes a difference

Well, Spitfire, so do I. I ordered from these guys: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E2V4NM and it was shipped from Florida.

Have you updated this with any new themes?
Ive been away over the easter and haven checked in here for about 2 weeks. also i've been flashing a lot of ROMs lately so havent gotten to hook up my liveview yet. Will look in to it today th0=)

Can someone make a theme like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib9GTkImEwQ&feature=player_embedded#at=20
(watch the video it has a bunch of different themes as well)

Awesome design. I fear that the LiveView's limited resolution will not be able to display something this complex, though. Not even something as good-looking as a TikTok

[APP][2.1+]Cool Facts Free

Well, this is my first ever attempt on google android app development. I just wanted to share it here. Let me hear your comments, critics, feedbacks etc.
I know there is a lot of room for improvement in this app.
Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolfacts.app

​All the facts in this app are funny, cool, informative, real and verifiable. The app comes with regular in-app updates from our facebook page, official website & twitter account whenever there is an update. So there is no end to the facts. Almost every day you will get new facts unlike many other cool facts apps. Also all of these facts are true as we are a team of people who care about the quality of our work. Most of the facts will be verifiable using wikipedia and other trusty websites like Nat Geo, Discovery etc.
Features:
Swipe Left or Right for next or previous facts.
Random Fact & Latest Fact Buttons.
Twitter sharing button. Amaze your followers with awesome cool facts.
Links to our Facebook, Google Plus & Twitter pages and to the official website.
A never ending list of cool facts.
This is the official http://www.coolfacts.in Android app. We're very happy to announce this app for all our android fans.

No feedbacks?

App seems nice. It could be interesting to have a widget instead of opening app and I don't like when then text couldn't fit the page that you link to the site to read the rest of the news.

So I think it should have a scrollable text view for the facts so that I don't have to link to the website?
A widget for "your daily fact" is an awesome idea, thanks for that!

Yes I was meaning that

The idea is pretty good, a widget would make it great !
Even more with the new DayDram mode on Android 4.2 you could have your facts randomly displayed when the devices are docked or charging.
Could be fun.

Done that and updated the app. I will try to come up with a widget options soon!
Thanks for the suggestion!

Can any one please download it and try it out. I am sorry I had to ask this, there has been some issues after the latest update. It would be greatly appreciated if you can check it opens on your mobile.
I just wanted to know whether this is happening for new installations!

This is the video promo I created for this app. Hope you guys like it!

The app or the video I just created?

What do you think about the new updates and the cool facts I have added to the app?

I could use some more feedback to improve the app!
Somebody please help me and give me more ideas!

Did a UI improvement, let me know your thoughts!

Nice work

Cool Facts App just ahad a major UI revamp and now supports a lot more compared to the previous version.
Some updated functionalities include:
* Report false facts
* Copy the fact to clipboard and use/share it wherever you want!
Hope you like it, let me know your suggestions!

Force closes when I press "copy to clipboard" but other than that, cool.
Personally, if I were you, I would add a possibility to hide all the buttons at the buttom of screen for users who wouldn't use them. Maybe make the text a bit smaller (it's bigger on my 2.3.7 Gingerbread than on your screenshots, though) and maybe make the text "justify aligned" (I'm a bit fan of "justify alignment", lol)... Just some tips to make the app look a bit more simplistic, maybe.

I think I can include a button to toggle the visibility of all the buttons! that would be okay right?
I think the clipboard function is making the error because of your older version. I think I will have to check the version on which the app is running and then decide whether or not to show the button!

Possibly.
Make a text size adjuster too, if you can .. and maybe center allign the text if "justify" is not possible in Androd (I dont think it is).
Just some tips

Added button to disable all the buttons!
Let me know how do you like the new update!

I like facts, so I like this app . It is also a bit addicting searching for new facts which are more or less useful to know .

[APP][3.0+] Flexible Unit Converter (FUC)

There are literally hundreds of unit converter apps on Google Play.
I believe FUC is the only one that uses dimensional analysis in the conversion engine to let the user build, combine, and convert an endless number of complex units.
This is my first app and I would appreciate all comments and suggestions. Thanks!

Re: [APP][3.0+] Flexible Unit Conversion Tool (FUCT)
Good good
Sent from my LG-LU6200 using XDA Premium HD app

thank you, the app has been out for 2 weeks and this is the only feedback I've received. I'll take it as positive.
anyone else...?

Re: [APP][3.0+] Flexible Unit Conversion Tool (FUCT)
I just downloaded. Very good app. Well done! Sadly, while I have an Engineering degree, I mostly do only IT work these days But it looks like you have most conversions covered.
My suggestions:
1- the number pad/keyboard to add values for the conversion takes up ~75% of my tablet's screen. Not a big deal, but could be a bit smaller.
2- on the favorites page, I think it would be more intuitive to click on the row itself instead of the number on the left side.
3- It took me a while to figure out that I could click on the conversion result value and change the display options (like scientific notation threshold). Maybe have some help or indicator that keys the user know how to change these settings.
Good luck with the app!

Hey, thanks. I never tested it on a tablet, so I'm glad to hear it at least works, even if the keypad is way too big.
I'll fix the favorites as you suggest, and make the conversion result display options access more obvious.
Much appreciated.

Updated to 0.3: easier to use favorites, search function, and bug fixes.
Lots more things I could add or change, but it doesn't seem worth it since it's only getting about 1 download / day. Hopefully just needs more time.

Couldn't test it. Crashes on startup. Asus Padfone 2.

Updated to 0.4.
The app opens a lot faster now, which I think is important as generally converting units is something you want to be able to do as quickly as possible.

I know this is a very old thread but the author was responding so I'll ask here anyway. This is an awesome tool that I've used for years very happily. However, as of today v0.54 force closes on my A10e running Android 11 stock. I've reset cache and date with no success. I wasn't notified of an update but there you go.
I'm guessing I may be alone in using the app, but I don't know of any real alternative. I'm hoping rhe author sees this but if anyone else has any thoughts or alternative unit converters to suggest I'm open to suggestions.

I don't know what's out there. Just converting units seems a bit limited.
I've had a private app on Windows that is a calculator and knows about units.
I keep on thinking about porting it to Android
1 inch/((1 ampere/-electron charge/avogadro's number)/(18awg/atomic volume(cu)))
This tells you that an Ampere of DC current through an 18AWG cable will take 4 minutes 43 seconds to move the electrons one inch.

There are lots of calculators but there are no other flexible converters ive located. I would consider a combined cLculator/unit converter if it utilized custom units like FUC. That is the only feature i really have a use for since everything else has been done.

I found ConvertAll for Linux/Windows that may work. It's certainly not as slick as FUC, but it might be a fall back option.
Convertall - Screenshots
It's only Windows so not what I want though...

[WLP][2.3+] Space Portal Live Wallpaper

I made a live wallpaper with portal in space "shooting" objects from it. It works on both phone and tablets (landscape and portrait) and it uses OpenGL. You can choose the objects to appear from the portal, set the portal rotation speed and amount of objects on screen. This is the first version, I'm gonna work more on this [college] project so please if you have an idea for object / option don't be shy

Wow, that is pretty funny one I don't see any glitches* :good: Maybe you should add some sharks? Sharks are fun.

Maybe I'll add sharks in the next release I try to avoid living things because (as ridiculous as it sounds) living things don't seem realistic in this case (they are still images). If anyone has a request for an objcet / option to add I'll be delighted to hear you.

Nice

If you don't want to do something time consuming, maybe add some "small" options first. For instance "select rotation image" or "select background", that kind of things.

fyi the wallpaper freezed randomly when I returned to desktop from another app. It works again now, but stopped for some time.

So it can still freeze if I select every object in the highest setting, you should put a warning not to select too much of "types" or something.

[APP][4.4+]Friends — Remember, filter, enjoy

Introduction
Sometimes I forget how long I haven't met some of my friends. And I don't want to forget that. So I've made «Friends».
«Friends» is a journal-based app. You write about your interactions with friends and app tells you how long you haven't met them. When the magic number of days passes, entries turn from grey white, which should (in my design) encourage you to interact again.

Features
• Journal interactions with friends.
• See how long you haven't met.
• Set how often you want to meet, text or call.
• Set frequency of interactions per type of interaction or person.
• Hide people you don't actually wanna see again.
• Take some notes about friends.

My app is an open-source project, so here is the repository. Folks not in favor of Google Play Store may find fresh apk there.
Feedback
This is my first android app, so I would be glad to receive any feedback. Here is my telegram, in case you love it as much as I do.
Especially I would like to hear about errors. I want to get rid of them all, so your feedback might be a great help.
Click to expand...

App future and contribution
As I said, «Friends» is my first android app. I want it to help people. And I have little experience in that. So I would be glad to receive help or advice on the next things.
Design
I am using an almost default android theme. It's ok for starters, but I want my app to be nice and beautiful.
Are there any good guides on mobile app design? What colour should I use instead of that bleak green? In-app animations are must, or not?
Features
Have any ideas on that else «Friends» might do to benefit users? Don't hesitate, tell me.
Wording and app name
I wrote most of the in-app text in a hurry. Sometimes better wordings come to my mind and I apply them. If some in-app text doesn't feel right for you, tell me.
Also, the name. I'm still in search of the good one. «In touch»? «Quality time»? «Call your mom»? If you have any ideas, I'm all ears.
Promotion
So far, I've shown «Friends» to my, well, friends and some corners of the runet. But I want more. My friends recommended to write at reddit, medium, dev.to and I'm planning to do so. Heard that there is such a thing as «landing page». Might do that too.
Would love to hear anything on single-handed promotion. What steps you've taken, where to go first and all that.
In search of The User
How do you think, who might benefit from my app?
Some of my polyamorous friends are enjoying it and that's sweet. I think support groups might find it useful, but am not sure. Networkers? Huge family members? Folks who need to check on their clients from time to time?
How can I connect to all these wonderful people? Are there any organizations or campaigns I might get in touch with?

Thanks! Didn't knew about that thread.

Added a night mode. What do you think about it?
Also changed app icon color from bleak green to the same shade of yellow as used in app. Love the color, but now it doesn't feel connected to day mode of an app.

I am such a forgetter. Thanks for sharing

@Oswald Boelcke, very useful thread
@trulden good job with the app. The new icon seems far more attractive. I think you will get better results with it.
