HP App Catalog Update! - WebOS Software and Hacking General

HP has just pushed out an update to the HP App Catalog that brings with it the ability to enlarge the thumbnails associated with apps in the catalog. The new catalog version is 5.0.1400. Simply launch the Software Manager in Settings for the update. If it hasn’t showed up yet, it should shortly.
Simply tap on a thumbnail and a larger version will appear over the app you’re currently viewing. Swipe left or right to view all of the thumbnails in the set. At the moment, the enlarged thumbnails appear just below center when in landscape mode for some apps and not others- a quirk we hope HP will fix in time.
Not being able to enlarge the thumbnails to view the various screen prints the developer has set aside for the app has been a major complaint. Why it took so long to get this working is beyond us, but we’re glad it’s finally here.
We’ll post updates as we get them.

HTC EVO 4G Wallpapers site...sneak preview.

Hey guys, I'm putting together a website dedicated to mobile wallpapers for various devices that I own.
After searching the internet for a good site, I have yet to find one that meets certain criteria and almost all of them have wallpapers that don't quite live up to expectations:
-them being too big
-them being too small
-them not being quite the right size to accommodate Android's strange "crop" window you receive after selecting a picture you want to use.
I'm aiming to fix that by having wallpapers designed with Android in mind to not only accommodate the crop window, but also allow you to select and use the entire picture.
I'm still in the process of getting everything running smooth, and there's still some performance tweaks, theme settings, and configuration settings that need to be addressed but eventually I'll get there. I also hope to have a mobile version running soon, so that you can access from any Android device.
This site will also allow guests/registered users to upload their own wallpapers and will automatically resize them according to what album you upload them to.
Anyway, check out the sneak peak here: http://www.freeza-inc.com/walls

[APP]Scan to pdf - redesigned

Hello all,
Just wanted to make you guys aware of an app that I installed yesterday to convert images and docs to pdf. I have used quite a few of these before however this particular one has been redesigned and is of excellent quality. The new version has been on the market since the 8th july 2011.
The app itself is easy to use and the quality of the pdf's produced are very good. You can also enhance images when creating your pdf's if the images are not that great and they do improve considerably. You can also choose from a number of different paper sizes and the orientation of the docs you produce.
Another excellent feature is when you create multiple pages, you can reorganise the order of the pages by dragging and dropping before creating the pdf.
To view your pdf's, after loading pages and ordering them to your liking, click on the view button and choose your preferred pdf viewer and save as necessary.
Search for "scantopdf free" by a company called "NYM computing"in the market, the free version is fully functional without ads and watermarks however to support the developer, I have purchased the app as it is currently under £1.
If you download and like the free version, leave your positive comments for the developer.

Downloading now, I hope your app doesn't limit the download speed. I have used some apps before, but they were limiting my download speed which took forever to me to download a whole 100+ chaps.

The download speed is not limited by the app, only by your connection or the server speed. If it's too slow, you can enable "Concurrent downloads" to download more than 1 chapter at once from different sources.

Oops sorry, i didn't check the settings, thanx for help
(xpost forum+rating) looks like it had the most feature available, although it is a double edged sword. new users would be lost without a short guide describing the options and sources, and how to effectively switch between online and offline mode.
Enjoying the app so far. One thing I have noticed is missing is a genre sort/search (shonen, seinen, shojo, etc as well as mech, slice of life, adult...). The option was available in an older Manga reading app I used to love and I used it to find quite a few great new titles to read I would have never found otherwise. Is this something you could implement in a future update? Thanks!

FineFx. Android videoeditor developement in progress.

Hello, everyone. I'm beginning to develope videoeditor for Android. The goals are Kinemaster, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects.
Now I'm developing the prototype of GUI. Testing offscreen OpenGL render in parallel thread, rendering to texture and so on. Started with window system, visibility, z-order, transparent windows and window log. The app's creating FineFx folder in root of sdcard and writes config and logs. So you see that I'm at the very beginning.
See screenshot and current apk file in the attachement.
MainMenu
Started MainMenu developement
MainMenu self scrolling and side buttons
Update. Finished MainMenu developement. Fixed self scrolling bugs. Ready to move to new project with ffmpeg and so on.
FineFx FileManager
Begin to develope FileManager. Please test it and say how much icon screens is loaded. Thanks.

https://kiisojps.livedrive.com/item/c5c10f0cc7e944a597e5b78298469a37
Update: tested on two devices and test failed. The code was developed too fast, so it would be strange if it works everywhere immediately. So, I'll include extended debugging information, test on two more devices and upload new version.
Fixed some bugs
I've fixed several bugs in the prototype, so please test and say if it works or not. Thanks.

Not to sound mean, but I think this forum is supposed to contain /show finished projects and their purpose in a short description.
You're fulfilling one criteria here. I'd strongly advice you to test and finish your app by yourself and then have the community test the very first version so we can help you make it a much stronger app.
Just a quick heads up!
Works fine here Google Pixel (sailfish/8.1), I have menus both sides. Seem about the correct size.
E.g easy to tap /doesn't take up screen space,
But I don't have pictures of those nice people.....
I like to follow you on this journey. Even if a mod has to move the thread, please keep us updated.
And if you need any testers , you won't find better than this lot.

I'm sorry. But I need help with debugging even in early development stages. It's very hard to develope such large project without feedback and debugging on different devices during developement. It's ok, I can show results only when some large steps done.
But I don't have pictures of those nice people.....

You need to tap at folder icon to see mp4 pics in FileManager window. Due to fast and not so good programming in this step, mp4 file tree is scanned once and you need to wait up to 2-3 min before green screen is gone and it begin to show video shots. Sorry. I'm working right now to eliminate this problem.
Update 0.0.12
Added images, video screenshots. Separated screenshots with one-pixel grid. Added FFMPEG for images and video that can't be loaded by Android. Added caching of thumbnails. Invisible textures are deleted now.

Looking good.
Slow, steady progress,
But, once everything is in place will move along nicely.
Keep up the good Work and motivation
---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------
If you are stuck on code and need to think of something else for a while:
App size can greatly be reduced:
First, maybe decrease size of mp4 file in apk:
That alone is 12MB.
Next, make separate packages per system type:
With only that size can drastically be reduced.
Also,
Icons are not vectors, which make pixels appear, not clean cut.
Looking forward to development.

Of course. Application is only testing one at this moment. In future, all graphic resources would be redrawn by professional designer. Also, maybe video will be changed or replaced by still graphics. And of course it will be divided onto platforms before deploying to market. In any case, thanks a lot!
Version 0.4.16

XenoAmp² - A clean looking audio player that has it all!

Blade Runner Diaries OR The (less exciting) Story of XenoAmp 2
WARSAW,
FEBRUARY 2019​
So - I was surprised that some of the guys who commented my initial post about XenoAmp on XDA back in 2012 still lurk here (thanks cauch_y, Freak07, 39FarmallM)
When I wrote that post I had zero knowledge of Android coding and just very faint memories of Java (although back in 1995 when it was released I started learning it straight away). So really I had neither Java nor Android skills back then... What I did have was a vision of UI that I wanted to implement, and since XenoAmp is in Play for some years now, you may wonder how close the final effect was to that vision. The answer is: HARDLY AT ALL.
You see - I quickly learned (the hard way) that coding on Android isn't CODING WHAT YOU WANT, but rather HOW ANDROID ALLOWS YOU TO. But still I tried and I don't even remember how many times I fought Android and Android won, before I finally gave up trying to do things my way. But if it was the only Android annoyance I'd be a happy coder anyway, believe me. Unfortunately there are worse showstoppers: some of the things that you can find in Android documentation work only THEORETICALLY. Yes, guys! BUGS! Lots of them and surprisingly Google rarely cares about fixing them, probably being too occupied with releasing groundbreaking new features (sarcasm) and adding 1 to Android version every month. So imagine your app behaves badly and, after hours of scratching your head and thinking why your code doesn't work, you stumble across Android bug report filed in 2010 with countless comments like this:
Hey guys! Will it be fixed in 2011?
I wonder the same thing...
...
Hello, the bug still exists in Android n in 2012!
Me too!!!
Me too!!!
Me too!!!
...
Who's first in 2013?
...
It's 2014 and it is still not fixed?!
...
Shame on you Google in 2015!
Shame!
Shame!
...
C'mon it's 2016, why does this bug exist?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And so on...
But that's not all! After you rewrite broken Android classes with 1000s lines of your code, your app stops working or crashes because of WONDERFUL (sarcasm) NEW FEATURE INTRODUCED IN NEWEST ANDROID. Your app literally keeps breaking by itself!
But coming back to my vision of UI, after so many years it's obvious it wasn't worth it! People just prefer to do things the way they are used to, which I of course knew from the very beginning, but hoped most of them are at least as adventurous as I am and try new things nevertheless. Well - very few do (and most of them liked XenoAmp UI), but the rest had a hard time using Xeno, because it just didn't work as they expected.
So, after seven years of Android coding and becoming a Kotlin expert (Java's not fun anymore) I'm giving you this very conservative, dull and following-all-Android-UI-conventions XenoAmp2.
So let's take a tour!

Application Tour
1. Home tab
View attachment 4705988
Shows recently played tracks (including streaming radio stations!) and playlists.
2. Favorites
View attachment 4705989 View attachment 4705990
As you remember from previous XenoAmp, any container can be added as a favorite. Be it your network neighborhood, 8Track feed, album on Spotify, playlist on Subsonic, directory on SMB server, Trip-Hop tracks, tracks by Thin Lizzy and so on. You can switch tile view to row view if you prefer it that way.
3. The Music
View attachment 4706009
Good old music sheet is still there. If you don't know it from previous XenoAmp - it's a configurable matrix view that allows you to display your collection by selecting what is visible in rows and columns. This particular screenshot shows album artist in rows and albums in columns. But you can configure it to show i.e. year and genre.
4. The new context menu
View attachment 4706010
Long touch track or tile anywhere in XenoAmp and this thingy pops up. Colorful chips allow you to jump to separate pages showing only tracks from particular genres (green), album (purple), artist (blue), similar artist (yellow) - see example in 6. There are more chip types, depending on entry (i.e. users in 8Tracks or Spotify).
5. Playlist view
View attachment 4705993
Allows track reordering and expanding your knowledge! If you clicked a tile in sheet view you can pull this list left and right to see other tiles in the row
6. Category view
View attachment 4705994
This usually shows up if you click any of the colorful chips. Of course clicking any of the bands will bring you to yet another category view.
7. The browser
View attachment 4705995
The good old browser, nothing changed there. For new users: everything XenoAmp can play is part of one, large filesystem. So here you can find and list your Android device, UPnP, SMB servers, Subsonic, 8Tracks and other music services.
8. While Playing Screen
View attachment 4705996View attachment 4705997View attachment 4705998View attachment 4706000
A whole bunch of them! Long touch the cover to switch between four layouts:
a) small with thumbnail-like image (nice choice of colors for MOS 6581, XenoAmp, btw!) and boring standard controls
b) middle with whole cover visible and boring standard controls
c) big with cover filling whole screen and boring standard controls
d) big with standard XenoAmp wheel menu that some of you enjoyed
9. Lyrics
View attachment 4706001
I guess it needs no explanation
10. Equalizer
Nothing fancy here, besides the usual room correction for loudspeakers and audiogram-like test for headphones.
The technology
So this time I'm not fighting Android, during these years I learned to live with it peacefully. XenoAmp2 uses Google ExoPlayer 2 and all the goodies (and limitations) that come with it (one of them is probably there will be no Spotify support this time!). All used components and libraries are bleeding edge.
I'm planning on adding different skins that will not only change colors, but in some cases look of the whole views shown above. XenoAmp2 was written in a very skin-friendly way from the very beginning.
Unfortunately many of cool features (like i.e. nice transition animations) are supported only since Lollipop and on older Androids your XenoAmp2 experience may be different.
Misc info
It's far from being finished!
It's sure full of new bugs, as it is practically written from scratch!
Xeno Radio Station directory server is down for everyone. I'm looking for a new home for it.
Currently it asks on start for read access to your files as this is required to read ALL the tags from files, even those not supported by Android normally. For very paranoid - I might change it in the future to stick just to tags available in Android, but it's not a high priority right now.
A few first releases here will probably crash a lot due to ProGuard messing with classes it shouldn't mess with. We'll fix that as we go.
test
@ssuukk very interesting little writeup
I don’t develop any apps so I can’t really comment on how it feels to design the app around androids limitations.
But when I started kernel developing I experienced the same. You have to find your way around how android is working and try to just get the best out of it!
thanks for all the continued effort, for never abandoning this project , for all the teasing regarding XenoAmp² and for the wonderful app you provided us all to use! It’s been a long and rewarding journey! You can be really proud!
Now if you’d just post a little alpha build to test after all that teasing :angel:
Where is the alpha download? The one in the playstore is from January.
I tried using this several years ago, but could only get it to work sometimes. It was mostly because I used Google play music (but don't anymore - my music is dl'd into my phone now). Good luck with it. :good:
I can't wait to see it
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
Glad to see that you are still in the game ssuukk!
All - sorry for delay, but as with everything Android - there are dragons ahead.
Currently I can't run the app in release mode
And that is after I spent a day wondering why it doesn't install at all in release mode
So there's still some wait I guess...
OK, guys. Take it for a ride (or instant crash maybe?)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=20714
SOME INFO:
it's not optimized, I wonder how slow it will be on older phones...
DON'T go to sheet while XenoAmp is syncing for the first time, since the view is live (and unoptimized...) it will be non responsive when it is trying to update several times a second...
When browsing SMB filesystem you won't get prompted for password, so go into prefs (on home tab) and enter your passwords first if your network doesn't use anonymous (guest) accounts
PROBABLY will not install with XenoAmp (the original one ) installed
Is it called ap-debug.apk? Interesting title.

Oh no
Though there are a few fixes proposed on that site? :angel:
Edit:
it works on my htc U12+ which is still on android 8.0.
I’m digging the scrolling animation when browsing my music folder
Album art isn’t displayed correctly though!
But overall it’s very nice for a preview! I like the concept!

Could you elaborate about album art? Normally album art is downloaded in the background so it should pop eventually. Lots of albums = lots of searching, downloading etc.

It resolved itself it seems. I think I had a included album art in the folder of the album. Seems like it downloaded the album art now that I opened the app again to check.
previously when playing the album the “now playing” screen showed a black tile where the album art should have been. Although the “list” where I could view all songs of the album had the correct mini “tile” on the left of the song’s title.
Do you understand what I try to describe?

I uninstalled Xeno1 and installed Xeno2. It wouldn't open. I tried a few times. I didn't have time to relearn how to generate a log. I'm on a OnePlus 6.

Use logcat extreme to get a logcat.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scd.lcex
Go to logcat section.
Choose clear logcat, then reproduce the issue with xeno amp, go back to logcat app and save the logcat.
Then upload it anywhere and post it here
Pretty easy! Takes 2 minutes
Did it work?
There should be a logcat file attached to this post.
It didn't...
