Market Autoupdate Bulk Toggle app is now on the Market! (v1.2.1 11/8)

We just released an app to the Market for rooted devices running Froyo that enables quick and easy toggling on and off of automatic updates for all of your installed Market apps (aside from system apps that update via the Market).
Search for "market autoupdate" on the Android Market and try it out now!
Let us know what you think of it. Some people mentioned they would be interested to see widget support for this. If enough people want a widget, we'll consider adding widget support to this app!
v1.1 adds a progress spinner and has some internal changes.
v1.1.1 fixes a crash that occurs when trying to click the same button twice. It also fixes an issue that caused the app not to work on high memory devices.
v1.2 fixes a problem where the app would not work on devices without a sqlite3 binary (which includes most rooted stock ROMs that I didn't account for).
v1.2.1 adds a new icon.

Sorry, but my app is not to blame.
See this post.

so dose this turn on/off autoupdate feature? will you still see updates? im also curious about the update all feature, is that disabled?

Awesome work, defo will be useful. Wish I'd had it a month ago then I'd be £30 better off due to roaming auto update fun times

hi,
good work man!
only a question (not a bug)
is possible to make a option in your program to enable autoupdate
in / data applications and to disable for / system applications?

Great app!
It would be great if it could be integrated with Tasker.

EXACTLY what I just logged in to say! I'd love to be able to automatically turn off market autoupdates when I'm not connected to wifi (there's no way I'd remember to manually turn it on and off all the time!), but I imagine there needs to be some additional functionality built into this app first to allow interaction via Tasker?

Hi eddieringle,
really nice app ! A must have tool !
But one request: can you make a version that can disable auto-update for all apps including sys-apps ?
Greats hawkeye

nice apps like it

We're still looking into why it doesn't work on system applications. When we figure that out, we'll update the application right away.
On another note, 1.2 includes it's own sqlite3 binary, so most of the people who had trouble getting it working should find that it works for them now.

Awesome. Thanks! I was looking for something like this =]

Personally, I'd rather see a list of installed apps with a checkbox indicating Autoupdate status so I can quickly run down my list of apps (perhaps with a tab separating system from installed apps) and check/uncheck Autoupdate for each one. Currently, you have to go into each app separately to do this, which is a major pain... Hope this can be considered for a future update?

I went to slide me and it download but wouldn't install and I try to download it in the Android Market, it download but it say "installation error unknown reason - 18" so I can't install... any help? I'm using an Evo rooted with Clockwork recovery.

Great app!!! It would be nice to be able to choose what to update though, all in 1 simple list, just as it was previously mentioned. Also, the ability to turn off auto-updating when roaming would be useful too (however I do have my phone set to disable data altogether when I'm roaming, it might be useful for others).
keep up the great work!

Wonderful little app, thanks!

Doesn't it work on Android 2.1?
Thanks for your app

Installed the update. Still not working, only now it is worse than before.
It still wouldn't allow me to switch apps, it still didn't launch on phone boot up, but now the update prevented me from being able to install apps from the Amazon App Store. I'd hit the install button after the app had downloaded, but it wouldn't register the button press. I could hit the cancel button though just fine. Play Market apps installed just fine. As soon as I Force Stop Fast5, I cold install apps from Amazon just fine.

Very weird. It works perfectly on my device (SGS2) and my friends devices and all emulator devices (2.1+) and i do not get other complains... what's going on?
Have you installed custom rom or something? Do you see all 5 icons? After pressing nothing happens? Or an error?
I would understand if you'd get some errors, but if it's not booting with the device? There is no way it won't boot at normal device configuration...
Thank you for you cooperation!
Have a look...:
see it in action
I think it's isolated issue but I'll try to fix it for you if you'd like to use this app . Wain for report (if you sent it)

Works fine for me. Absolutely perfect!

its a simple task switcher. didn't see any task "manager" function in app(where we able to kill tasks). or it will be available in the future updates?

Yep it's a switcher. Will change topic name, sorry. But it works fine for you, right?

It works now on ICS too. There should be a new version active on the market within 1 hour (as always). There was one issue. Fixed.

I will test it. Great job
Edit: "error process buy" say my market
Defy > Defy+
Sorry my bad english

Error process buy? Lol... it's free. Did you try do it from the PC? Market kinda buggy thing. Thanks!

I had no problems with installation nor application so does my friends .

Updated version has been released. Should be working fine for everyone, regardless of Android version (2.1 +).
Try it

the update fixed task-clicking on ICS
- could you please add #111111 as an background color option? that's the color used by android for notification backgrounds
- when opening notification area the icons reorder after like 1-2 seconds. I guess that's because the app isn't running in bg permanently but it's still quite annoying, especially when you're just about to hit one of the icons and then it gets replaced with a adifferent one
- is it possible to have more than 5 apps? (yeah yeah, then the name wouldn't make sense anymore, but...) there's so much whitespace between the icons, it'd well fit 7 of them

Sure. No problem. Download an updated version (should appear on the market within one hour) and tell me if you'd like something more. Everyone else too . I'll see what i can do.
As for 7 icons instead of standard 5 on really large screens: could you please send me an email or post me here if you don't mind everyone looking how do it looks on your screen?
Thanks!

thanks for adding ICS color.
for large screen: just turn your phone 90° to widescreen and you can see it for yourself
any idea about the slow updating?

Check out the newest update (v 1.08). Tick a checkbox in preferences, restart an app and see if that fits your needs . As for more than 5 icons - i'll figure it out if you want to
Cheers!

seems good so far. will report back after some more usetime when it's got a bit more to do than show low-memory-apps what does the checkbox do? start a persistant service?
could you please close the notification bar when selecting an app? always makes me think the click wasn't registered.

No, it just shortens update time . Don't worry if it works right . As for notification: will put an option to do so shortly.
Cheers!

This app blocks the 3rd Party App Install on my device (Motorola Defy). You can still press the cancel button, but the install button has no function.
Tested it on a custom CM7 Version and on a Official CM7 Version(with fullwipe).

[Widget][2.2+] new Tagy - icon-free interface for your home screen

Tagy is a new bundle of widgets that organize apps, contacts, bookmarks and settings into tag clouds on your home screen.
Tag cloud items will change color and size based on click frequency, allowing important items to stand out and unimportant items to fade. So your favorite items will be highlighted for faster access.
Tagy Settings and Tagy Google Services are Tagy widgets that present shortcuts to your system settings and links to Google mobile services and apps as tag clouds.
Use cases
Tag cloud user interface lets you to::
• Instantly access your content without scrolling or browsing folders;
• Obtain insights about usage patterns by locating infrequently used content such as unused apps or inactive contacts as well as favorite items; and
• Save space – one tag cloud can contain five times more items than a regular icon grid.
Features
Tagy is very friendly to your system:
• It consumes minimum system resources;
• It does not affect battery life;
• It needs only basic permissions; and
• It supports custom launchers and themes.
Tagy also supports portrait and landscape orientation.
Tagy widgets are free (main widgets pack is trial).
To go to the Tagy download pages, please see the QRs attached.

Thank you! Have you tried the text links I pasted? Since I'm a newbie member, I can't paste hyperlinks.

Frequently asked question:
Q: Are tags clickable?
A: Yes, you can click on tags to launch corresponding apps, contacts or bookmarks. Also, as you click them, tags will change size and color.

Looks good OP. Thanks!

Some might, not me. I use NoWallpaper (black) with just the color text.
New version will not let me update apps. I have three app screens, and do not want to enable new apps on all, so they are all unchecked. Then after I install an app, I cannot go to the app widget where I want it and add it.

I've just looked at it and it should add new apps to the list, but they will be unchecked if you uncheck the Add new apps automatically mark. Note that installed app needs to have a launcher activity (be present in your apps list) to be added to the widget.

Awesome widget, thx

Tagy_ said:
Old version has similar behavior. It's by design now, but we'll change it in the future. We thought that if you uncheck the Add apps automatically mark, then you don't want updates for that widget, but that's not how it goes for many users.

I do want to selectively add apps, but my choice, and not automagically (sic).

I've just looked at it and it turns out we've already implemented what I have described So you should see all your installed apps in the widgets apps list, either you turn the Autoadd option on or off. The only difference is when this option is off, the new app will be unchecked in the list. But note that installed app needs to have a launcher activity (be present in your apps list) to be added to the widget.
Can you specify what app does not show in the widgets apps selection? Or maybe you could try to install any ordinary app from the market and see whether it will show up.

using right now it's very goog credits to you.

It is/was GMail, flashed in recovery, GApps and an ICS alpha ROM. After some reboots it shows up, but then Play Store just updated itself and it is gone from Tagy and I cannot get it back.
It might be the alpha ROM doing it. I will try again when I restore my normal ROM and see.

I'd like the option to hide certain apps from the search.

Will consider to add this feature. But may you'd like just to disable certain apps at all? You can do this on App Info screen for system apps. In this case app will disappear in system launcher. And in AppDialer too (truly not yet but in next version).

2) add option to change web browser (Im using opera as main app and chrome for some cases)
3) add option to change SMS app (notification options) because Im using Textra, not stock standard app
4) add more themes (it would be great if we can change colors by some pallete or hex codes)
5) add polish language xD (I can help with this)
Thats all for now, nice job
