[APP][12/1] Calendr/Calendr+ 1.5 - Released on Market!

As you probably would have guess, inspired by clockr, here comes the calendr widget, your minimalistic calendar event widget.
How minimalistic?
Follows the style of clockr, only needed information is shown. It shows the upcoming events within 1 week range, and most importantly, it only shows 1 event.
FAQ
Can you make tapping the widget open the detail of the event?
I tried, trust me. But somehow, the event detail view open with incorrect information. If anybody knows how android properly handle calendar intents, do tell me please!
How much resource does the widget use?
No polling is done. The widget now hooks onto Android Calendar to detect changes to it. 1 widget refresh update is done per day in the case where no changes in the Android Calendar is detected.
Picture speak a thousand words...

nice, thank you!

I like it. I plan on using it in my next screenshot on colormeandroid =D I already wrote an article about it http://bit.ly/eilcO2

Great work, great idea. I've wanted a calendar widget that only displays one event for ages!
One thing I've noticed is that it only displays one category, not all of them, or my shared calendars? Am I overlooking something?

You just filled a void I have tried to fill for the past year and a half. I like to have a minimum homescreen and could never find a calendar to fit into the space I wanted it to. But now I have this space filled. Thank you. You should put in the Market so we know when you update. But I suppose you want to do more alpha testing. Added this thread to favs.

Oh. Awesome!

Heh. Apparently I accidentally left the bug for the multi calendar. Will fix it in next version.
Not in market yet because I haven't polished it enough.
Stay tuned! Hope you guys enjoyed it.

So that Bug will fix the multi calendars thing?
This really is fantastic - great work fella - really chuffed - it also fills a void for me too.
Will there be a font size option etc?
When will the next version drop?
Thanks so much again - seriously chuffed about your app and will be spreading the word too! x

suggestions:
text size options...
N° of events displayed....

Doesn't work on HTC Wildfire.

More customizations would be available later on. Cut the alpha some slack.
@Tsjoklat
your description doesn't help me. perhaps you want to provide a more detailed description? like... Android Version... etc.

Very Good!
But in french, it will be the must!
Can I help you for french transaltion?
thanks

I installed Calendr on my N1. I am stock, not rooted. As soon as I put the widget on my homescreen, and tried to open my6 sense, my phone froze. I had to do a battery pull. It was probably my fault but I thought you might be interested to know what happened. (I use ADWlauncher, by the way) I do really like the way the widget looks though.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Polling every 30mins? That is bad practice in Android! You'd better subscribe to calendar events using a Content Provider with your widget app and be notified of changes instantly.

@Babydoll25 thanks for the report.
@j0bro
im honestly new to this content provider and this is a whipped up alpha. but thanks for the pointer, i didn't know you can subscribe to the content provider. the only issue now is that, now, i need to create service for the app. hopefully it doesnt use much RAM.

Great widget!
I'd like the ability to customize some options, like text colour, font and number of events (or at least some kind of indicator showing there are multiple upcoming events?)

Been waiting for something like this. Thanks for creating it!

I love the concept. I get the widget on my homescreen, but no letters, no text. A bit too minimalistic. Am I missing something?

cool design this can very useful for me thanks. as i always forgets appointments

[APP] NClip (Notifications /w clipboard integration)

Updated and nicer
I once had an idea for this app, so i started learning Java to make it happen.
I had a need to keep important information from my clipboard at the front of my attention (e.g text message,email etc) so I added some features and the result is NClip

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?

[Review] Minimal Reader pro (~70p) or (free)

I have decided to do a few reviews to fill the void in my day, these reviews will be exclusive to the sensation XDA forum, but feel free to repost wherever, though credit where credit is due
Todays review is for Minimal reader pro, I simple but beautiful looking rss reader for your android home screen.
I have personally tried a lot of the rss readers on the market in order to find something that suited my simplistic taste. Minimal Reader is a home screen widget that is just that, minimalistic and simple.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SetupThis widget took literally seconds to set up, this is mainly due to its link to Google Reader which allows the importation of RSS feeds saved to the google service, selecting a feed is as simple as checking a tick box and selecting done, with that you are good to go. Minimal Reader also has the ability to add RSS links to the home screen on the fly yet these ‘New’ links are not saved to Google Reader which is a bit of a bummer if for some reason you remove the widget containing a new ‘unsaved’ feed, expect a visit back to the site to reclaim your RSS link. This is an area that I personally think could be improved by allowing the user to add links to Google reader for future use.
Visuals and Interface
Visually the widget is pleasing, with two built in styles Dark Glass and Light Glass, both looking good on the default sense launcher. There are several options that edit the look and feel of the widget which can be done on the fly. ‘Text with buttons and arrows, text with arrows and text only’
Text with buttons and arrows gives you a visual indication on where to press (obviously) for settings and refresh and also displays the arrows to flip between pages. Text and arrows displays the feed and the page arrows, and text only…. Well you get the idea.
Using text only, for the first time I though, Woah! I cant refresh move pages ect, but, these options are still available. Using ‘text only’ clicking where the icons are, have the desired effect. Tops left refresh feed, bottom left Settings top right page up, bottom right page down…… and for those pesky lefties… these buttons can be flipped…. NICE
The Popup feature of this app (which is just as customizable as the main app) is one of the features I like most. Unlike most of the apps where the clicked link will open in the phones web browser, Minimal readers opens the link in a convenient pop up box, allowing you to read the whole article (feed permitting of course) from the home screen. From this pop up you can open in a web browser, share to social networks and add to favourites.
Foot Print
I have 2, 2x2 widgets running on my home screen using a manual refresh,. At current they leaving a 0.99mb footprint, not bad yet being a total noob in the area of Memory management I am happy to be corrected.
Verdict
I feel there are things in this widget that could be work on, the main aspect of that is adding links into Google Reader, in future versions the developer will be adding a ’Scrolling’ feature which would make the widget much more like a news ticker. I personally feel this would be a welcome addition giving the phones home screen some life.
I would defiantly give the free version a try, and see how things look for your phone it’s a very nice looking easy to use RSS ready with plenty of features!
That concludes my first review for you guys, constructive criticism is welcomed, don’t forget to say thanks is you found this review useful

Overall good app. Pages load quickly, no gui issues. Content is limited but I'm aware it's a new app. One issue did occur however. After about ten to fifteen min of reading the images failed to load on all threads. I had to force close the app, clear cache and restart it. Afterwards the images appeared as they should. It only happend once but it may be something to look into. Thanks for a excellent reader.

Hi
https://github.com/enricocid/iven-feed-reader/commit/c7791c7d1e4677fa1e7837f88814ca4ce35e8446
I've added this to clear cache programatically when onDestroy the listactivity, so when You click on a feed it will start with new cache this should be enough to avoid crashes related to the cache garbage collection
it will included the next update

New version 6.2 is up
Changes:
Fix immersive mode on window focus change
Add right titles to toolbar
Fix toolbar not themed when dark theme is applied
Navigation drawer revision
Disabled glide's disk caching to avoid cache garbage collection
Added a button to clear app cache

Looks promising! Will it be possible to add Feedly integration?

The app is really smooth and nicely designed.
That said, Feedly support would be greatly appreciated!
Also a way to mark what has been read and what hasn't would make it easier to use long term.

you can choose from very small to very large in articles views
and from small to large for listview home items

this is cool, lightweight and it does the job pretty well.
To those asking for 3rd party plugin support, I guess you should hold on.
As this is early development, I believe Ivan will add all those features.
The most important thing is getting stable first,

- Dynamic feeds list (still a super Wip)
- Options for the font size
