hey guys just wondering if anyone would be able to creatte this app.
The Iphone has such an app only cause the iphone is mainstream in aust but yeah. Was just yeah wondering if someone could port it over to android either 2.2 or 2.1 idc. but would be happy to pay as yeah i want to be the "different bloke"
as the pilot as i have the nexus one and everyone else (11) others own a iphone so yeah thanks
care to explain wtf it is/does?
and are you from australia?
well its a air services site that provides weather for pilots.
it is created by the buero of meteorology and then compiled and put out over different forms, i.e an app or a computer program or radio and such
yes i am australian and most that i know havent a clue how to make such a thing
i would give you links but it says i cant. i must be new lol.
I have considered developing simply to create this app.
Pweese I know at least 50people that would be willing to pay. Would bee so awesome
I'm the developer of the iPhone version of NAIPS - I had a quick look at android however it looks like way too much work for personally minimal gain for me (I don't even have an android phone). If I did do it one day - it would probably have minimal features as it would require a 100% rewrite. Plus I'm currently focusing on getting ERSA etc onto iPad/iPhone (after work & family).
Maybe a bunch of people could pay some firm in China/India to write a version? Or just a simple version (with Airservices' permission) that does location briefings etc?

That's cool. Can you provide some details as to the source of the data? There are plenty of open source weather apps, one could possibly bee modified to get data from that source

Ah, i have been reading your posts on PPruNe forums, if i do get my act together and start writing a similar app for android, do you mind if i contact you then for bits of information (ie what ASA said regarding scraping their material etc.)?
Also, just out of personal interest, what and where do you fly?

Not at all - visit ozrunways.com and send me a message on the 'contact me' page so I don't have to write my email address on a public forum.
We need more small cheap pilot apps available. I've made a bit of coin out of NAIPS but it's still far less than what I would get if I spent my time flipping burgers at McDonalds. Don't get too excited !!

Hey mate, just wondering if there has been any progress on developing a NAIPS based app for android yet. Because if there has been I would be keenly interested in it.
Not yet. There is no paid app store for Australia yet.
i'm interested to work on this app and it would be free app. however i'm very new to android and still learning.
my first app is KL Web Traffic which you can find on android market. if i know how to get the data and what this app do i don't mind working on it so i can improve my java/android programming skills.
Replying to a 3 year old thread because this app was the only thing keeping a mate of mine on IOS, and this is one of the top hits on Google search.
Check out thttps://sites.google.com/a/juddy.net/android/naips
There are a few now. "NOTAM Filter" is available on the play store and does Met and NOTAMs including areas.
Hi I have an Google Play Dev Accaunt and Google have for everything an App ( Google Analythic , Google I/O etc.) but not for thhe Google Play Developer Console and beccause that I made an app about that !
I know that app isn´t perfect and it unnecessary but I think it's nice for something even an app to have
Feedback is welcome !
And sorry for my bad english ...

Do not worry it does not. But if you do not believe me, here is the SOURCE code is made with beta AppInventor (http://beta.appinventor.mit.edu/)
View attachment Developer_Console.zip
believe me now?
sorry to sound truly negative but it is with best interest; but why would you be rfeleasing source code that is irrelevant to others to be able to check? if you are going to post a source code using a developement software thats minimally used to begin with? you might as well just make a simple layout, use buttons, and just load webviews to just load the mobile website for the developer console... as stupid as that may sound thats basically all i can truly think would be a good use for that because when its something as secure needed as the app developers developerconsole u will NEVER see too many people use random apps to access it, let alone using .shm and othe runknown file formats that dont open with notepad; so posting such soruce code is no use to any developer to "check for yourself" as it is still unccesable to the developers to check...
in other words basicly this topic should be marked as closed as there is no true way to check the legitmacy of this app and the codes submitted apon requested to see if its not malicious is irrelevant; as a google account hacking may be one thing; but a hacking to a developers console cannot be acceptible to other developers and thus why not many apps are made for the console as it just isnt trusted by other develoers to use unless it is really from "pub:Google inc." on google play

So for example, I use a different google account for google for play and store in the browser I'm not always logged accaunt with my App Maker wherefore I use this app because I do not have an extra logout. And I can only repeat it is not a hack app that would AppInventor with the impossible
Based on the screenshots it seems like the app is just a bunch of WebViews that load the mobile version of the Dev Console. That isn't much different from just loading the page in the browser....and there's the added security concern about stealing account credentials as someone pointed out earlier.
Also, if you're going to make your project open source, don't share a proprietary format. Share the raw java source code on Github.
If they tell me how happy ... in a normal app with eclipse but I knew this I did with AppInventor as I have already written ...

exactly! developers appericate when u "open source" to use a format we ALL can use and are comfortable with; i would prefeer even obfusticated java code that u need to route where all the things go thghen some random format they send out to use their program; but i have deminstrated to people in my local area that just because the app uses webviewsx it does not mean safe; there is still intents you can use to monitor keypresses in certain feilds (also why newer keyboard apps say they dont keep logs in their privacy notes because such things are known for keylogging)
and even if it is build in eclipse i dont feel i need to use an extention as he seems to make it sound like to just view it as i tried reading it in eclipse (as i removed notepad, wordpad, microsoft office so i can use eclipse on all documents) so even if i could see "the codes" why push your application to read the codes as even if u released the source, its still not readable without your extention program you made, and it may seem legitable to you as the developer (trust me on my app sms Tasks some things i do to it are questioned by some just for the fact its a sms-reciever client to control phones remotely with a pass phrase, u can see it in my sig for more details if u wanted further looks) but in regards to this not many people trust these things as you either need to use someone elses program to even read it, people dont trust random tools with little credits to it, and expecially when the app is sketchy and its logcats (and apk tool'd decompiled source codes when de-obfusticated) does show indeed this is WEBVIEWS but instead it also throws some exceptions, some exceteras, and a few more things then just loading a webview as it does, so im just saying that when you are doing stuff like these expecially something as secured needed as the developers console to release their apps, to release monitations, to make money and review statistics, not many people will trust a app to do so, and are even sketchy using mobile browsers to do so expecially from mobile internet (not wifi) as all networking is tracked from them and everything done on it even more then wifi-internet-compatible companies do even with VPN's and stuff theres some things that are truly not trusted in 3-rd party sources without true credibility, some people never trusted paypal in its early years due to it keeping logs of peoples creditcard information, social security information, and other details for tax-based incomes as even at its early times the encryptions used were minimal to what they have now
basicly if you read all the comments here, and all whats in them u will see that if you release the codes that made it, use it in a format we can all truly see and use as the sources u released are useless to debug or see its true credibility
Well said

What future? I don't see much future since the hardware industry got clearly faster than the 3rd party firmware development.
When even the very popular S5 is loosing activity, what can i do to keep my device SAFE and CLEAN? Nothing! (But start to code on my own...)
I have started an open source project to support Chromium + custom patches for adblocking:
https://www.bromite.org/
What is Bromite?
Bromite is Chromium plus ad blocking and privacy enhancements; it started as a port of NoChromo and nowadays adds more privacy-focused patches and is maintained against the latest stable Chromium.
Development & donations
Please join the development on Github for improvements.
Donations are welcome and help supporting development and build server costs!
Download & availability
Bromite is available for download from the Bromite Official website, which points to the Github Releases for all the downloads, and via the official third-party F-Droid repository.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does Bromite support Google Sync, Translate or Data saver?
No. This is not a limitation of Bromite but of all Chromium-based projects in general, as general public is not allowed to use Google's APIs for free unless when using Chrome.
Q. Does Bromite require root?
No.
Q. What is the SystemWebView?
It is the core component of Android for all web page visualizations. For example when you access a new wifi network and need to activate it, that is using the SystemWebView. If you do not know what it is then you do not need to install it.
How to enable DNS-over-HTTPS?
See this wiki page.
Q. Can you add dark mode/some cool themes?
No.
Bromite is about adblocking and privacy.
For other F.A.Q.s see https://github.com/bromite/bromite/blob/master/FAQ.md

@pato2015 let me reply here to stay on topic: yes, I also noticed this problem yesterday...it's due to a build setting in Chromium. I am rebuilding it with the fixed flag and will take some hours now to complete.

Hi,
It would be good if you could compile the official version which is v61 at the moment just like 'ponchofiesta' did with Chromium instead of this dev version.
This version you did is development version with many bugs.

I assumed that all tagged versions are stable releases; can you point me to the official explanation about this? Like, how do I know which tags are stable or not.

This might be due to missing codecs; I suggest checking again after I release a more recent tag, then reporting a bug on Bromite's github issue tracker otherwise.

This is also fixed, but build is still in progress and it takes time. Probably in one or two days will be published.

Your current version is 63.0.3236.0, meanwhile I tried dev version 63.0.3236.6 which plays audio stream correctly on the site above, but I guess things can break here and there with dev version, thats why official version would be a better solution.

Can you open an issue on github? I need to know android version, architecture (ARM or ARM64) and the sample video that fails.
I also suspect that some codecs are missing; I have found some information about how to enable them and will try; if anybody else has more information about how to enable all codecs on Android, please post here or on the GH issue
Edit: I am now building with codecs, it's going to take a long while..so keep tuned and I will post when builds are done. This means I restarted the build for the red blink too.

Don't know. The source code tag is exactly what I posted, the Google Chromium developers have probably changed the internal version string but not the tag.
If you build from the tag 63.0.3239.6 you will get the same version you found, not something I am responsible for.

The Google API keys are not embedded (would be pointless, I cannot pay for the quotas needed for a project of this size and the free quota would be exhausted in a blink); but you can always make your own and specify them via environment (not sure how that works on Android).
The only thing disabled are embedded API keys; everything else is enabled (except NaCl, still buggy compilation even after my patches).

Yeah, but I meant: requests that add more work for me would be better come from donors I have limited time and the server I am using for builds for sure is limited.

No worries, I do this because I want an adblocking browser for myself (without root), and thought I'd share the build for others too. If I match the server costs I am happy already.
Thanks for your donation!
Just donated. Good luck with this project, happy to see NoChromo live on and hopefully become something even better.

APKGrabber
APKGrabber is a fork of APKUpdater. Big thanks and of course all credits go to rumboalla.
I try to develop new features and maintain the software to stay available on latest android devices, but don't expect weekly updates.
For feature requests, issue tracking, new releases and all dev related stuff see my Github page.

Thank You looking forward to a great app.
Thanks for owning the maintenance & upgrade of this beautiful app.
However, I have few issues related to APKGrabber
- Whenever, i click Ignore button, in a few seconds, I see a FC.
This is on Asus Zenfone Max pro m1, stock android, non-rooted, bootloader locked, non-twrped phone
Log option do not work all the time. i see an empty screen while i click on log from the right 3 vertical dots
- I would like to visit APKmirror instead of downloading from it.
Is it possible to provide an option to copy the link ( I mean click to download / Long hold to copy the link kind of option)

I think if both methods ('old APKUpdater'; visit APKMirror and new APKGrabber; direct download) could be available as option in App preferences, that would be great and serve both needs.

Latest v1.1.3 says it is still v1.1.2 when installed and the update notification shows up.
Thanks, fixed it now. Just download again.
Hi,
Artem here from APKMirror. I'm glad someone revived APK Updater, so kudos on that!
However, the setting you added to directly download from the site now turns the app into a leech which uses up our bandwidth without giving so much as an ad or page view in return. We had an understanding with the previous author about this, and because of them we actively helped him with the fast API and did not block his app. This direct download addition to APKGrabber now, however, goes against all of that.
Please remove it, as it's against our terms of service.
Thank you for understanding.

We had an understanding with the previous author about this, and because of them we actively helped him with the fast API and did not block his app. This direct download addition to APKGrabber now, however, goes against all of that.
Please remove it, as it's against our terms of service.
Thank you for understanding.

Hey,
sorry, didn't know about any agreements. New release is out, bringing back the old behavior. Furthermore, i deleted all previous artifacts containing that stuff.
@Archon810 is anybody actively maintaining the API? I would like to get in touch to propose some questions about it. That would help making APKGrabber an up-to-date, stable app.
Best
Dennis

Hey Dennis,
Thanks for the swift action. We have been hosting APK Updater on APKMirror (last release is https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/rumbo...lease/apkupdater-1-5-11-android-apk-download/), and I'm open to now hosting APKGrabber too, as it's getting updates. Would you like that?
Would you like to chat further about the API? PM me and we can connect on Telegram.
Nice to see a friendly community
Just want put it out there because there are bound to be some people who decide to take the ****... what happens if people don't bother updating to the version that removes the direct download feature?
I'm hoping some action can be taken without penalising the developer, having detrimental effects on APKMirror and the average user

If there aren't to many probably nothing will happen otherwise direct linking will probably just be blocked.
Edit: I love the new ignore button right in the updates window.

Cool, was just putting it out there because more often than not its just a handful of people that tends to ruin it for others.

Yeah so far so good thank you for the updates. Continued fine tuning version detection would good.
When it would auto download from apkmirror we didn't see where it would download them too.
Is your app setup for the Google Feedback for when it crashes? I just sent a log of it crashing.
Can you please add play store link of the app to be updated?
Thank you.
Glad to see this project revived.
Though it still seems to struggle when in background on Pie - actually, I can't remember wether APKUpdater could even achieve a successful background scheduled search - it will start but won't ever finish.
Getting to its UI will show it still hasn't been able to fetch the installed apps' list & actually start the search. (VPN used + WiFi only setting ticked if relevant)
Also, APKGrabber updates never are found after just opening the app but only when a manual search is launched regardless of the auto option being active.
Also, if I may, I'd like to submit a couple of ideas :
- For when notifications are set to show up only when updates are available (or maybe even in other cases), I think it would be nice if the notification could get dismissed as the users gets to the available updates page.
- Available themes are ok but now not one seems coherent with the app's icon anymore. Replacing them with a tweakable theme engine would be better suited to each user's taste.
Great to see APKUpdater revived! It was a long awaited news!
Are you planning to increase API target to Oreo at least? This is one of the few apps on my phone that still targets Nougat
FYI, APKGrabber is available on F-Droid via the IzzyOnDroid Repo.
The app is now live at https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/hemker/apkgrabber/ too.
