Hello XDA,
Me and my friend are trying to change Android world. ;-)
We have just finished making our first Android app - bubble level (know also as spirit level or just level).
We are learning - it is our first try in Android Market, but our motto is quality so it should be quite polished. What do you think? Both compliment and criticism will be very appreciated.
Oh... and almost forgot: if you like this app please rate us in market!
App has ads, but they can be switched off from settings menu!
News/updates ;-)

3MB too large for too small app
Looks and works great
I've only played with it for a couple of minutes but it seems to work good. I absolutely LOVE the polished UI. My only problem is that I don't really use a level
Still, great job.
This is the nicest "spirit" level I've seen. I'm sure its not the easiest decision, bu you get a lot of credit for making ads and anonymous data configurable. I hope you go on to build a whole suite of apps!
Great looking app, I am excited to see more people start making high quality UI for android apps because that is one of the things I dislike the most about android is the lack of polished apps. However, I love android still. But keep up the good work
I have to say this is quite clean and works really well. Thank you!
Doesn't let me install from the Market, says it's incompatible with my Galaxy Tab, but I bet it is.
Very nice, Altho ppl rarely download something like a level as a single app though.
Things like this should be combined with other utility apps to have a good selling point.
Good trial tho.
I love that you've given the ability to change every setting imaginable. (full screen, orientation changes, keep screen on, etc.) I feel that most apps need, although lack, most of the options you've provided. And of course, amazing UI. Great job. 5 stars
Thanks gogoad, this is an awesome app, keep up the excellent work!
One thing I really like about Bubble Level (by BRL Technologies) is that it displays 2 levels (2 axis) at the same time, and this is very useful (to me, at least).
Very good graphics, thanks for doing this. Hope to see more great apps from you.
Cheers
not possible to download
Hi,
would love to use it but the market says: This app is incompatible with your HTC HD2. Running andorid 2.3.3.
Some solution?
thx
holly smokes... i love it
Great app, but I was unable to download from the market on my LG Revolution.
Sent from my LG Hobo 4G
Looks nice but i can't download it from market. Can you attach the apk file here?
install market enabler and download it from the market on your phone. Works for me (and I also have a HTC HD2 with android)
Thank you!
Thank you for all your positive comments!
Now I will discuss comments witch needs explanation or further investigation. Forgive me not answering all your heart warming, positive comments directly.

Probably there is a room for improvement using new market feature witch allows developers to distribute multiple apks (for example with different resources resolution) under one entry in market. I will investigate it in "near" future.
Oh, and as a last resort you have "Move to SD" option.

I can't tell anything for sure yet, but seems that you (community) like PowerBubble so combining more tools into one package will be probably our next step.

I will try to investigate it. Can you tell me what ROMs are you exactly using? Seems to be a problem with "market manifest" (file which defines what devices are compatible).
For now I've changed main post and added link to apk. You can also use market enabler as telenut pointed out.
Thank you all once again. I will keep you updated with changes.
Excellent!
Easy to use, excellent graphics. And the *option* to configure without the need to do so. Providing the choice of supporting by ads or not, is also outstanding.
Even though I don't really need it, I'd also like to see a second level (axis).
BTW, I don't agree to package apps like this with others. I kind of prefer the unix style - choose the right tool for a job and not a collection of tools

HTC Tattoo, CM7.1(RC); installed from market.
Looks good but the market says its not compatible with my nexus one phone for some reason.
Probably a bug with the new market app.

Some of you might remember the free windows mobile game Shift. It was really easy to play, but extremely addictive.
I waited for an android port for more than a year, and finally when i didn't see it ported i decided to do it myself So, no matter if you spent long hours with this game, of if you never heard of it before, here's a chance to play it on your phone/tablet/ereader/microvave oven or other android device
The game mechanics and scoring system are identical to windows mobile version, however the graphics and coding were redone from scratch since i didn't have sources for the original shift anymore.
I don't have an android market account and it's not likely i'll be getting one any time soon, so grab it here:
http://slideme.org/en/application/shift

Or in the post attachment.
And some screenies:
One day, i'll have to make a youtube video of the game, but i didn't get around to this so far.
Initially, i developed it for myself, but now that i'm satisfied with the results i see no reason not to share it. After all we all love and use freeware apps
It's my first android app and i was learning java, android api and the engine i was using as i went, so it might not be exactly perfectly optimized. But it does work smoothly on a G1, and the graphics turned out rather nice. It also scales properly to other screen sizes (though graphics won't be as crisp of course): I tested it on a motorola milestone and the android emulator with a few other screen resolutions.
I don't really plan to develop it much further, since i'm rather satisfied with it. Sure, i have a few ideas on how to make it work even better an some tricks i learned along the way, but that would probably take a complete rewrite and right now i'm not really in the mood for that So the game is provided as-is, but i might try to fix any really serious bugs.
If you feel like buying me a beer (or helping me get an android market account), the donation button is right above my avatar
By the way, if you think about trying to write your own android game, don't forget to check out andengine. That's a really powerful, and yet easy to use 2D game engine.
I'm getting an Access Denied message when clicking on the link.
Yes, me too.
And I really like this game too. Was playing it while it's available for WM6.1 QVGA screen. It didn't work on my WVGA HD2 last time. So, happy that it's coming to Android..

Oops, sorry about that. It seems that the link worked for me only because i was logged into SlideMe. I'll fix that later, and meanwhile i uploaded the game as an attachment to the fist post.
[EDIT]
It turned out that the app wasn't visible publicly until it got approved by slideMe. The link should work now.
[/EDIT]
Very cool game! Thanks for sharing!
Nicely made game. Thanks!
great port! i'll try it later. thank you!
btw, you should really put this in the market, or it might get stolen.

Thanks! Pretty fun game!
The Link for the WM version its very old! i want to try in my tp2! the version WM, you can upload the wm too pls!??
nice game.... works great on MyTouch4G
Very cool interface. Enjoyable with a high chance of replay.
I second the other member's notion to place this into the market. Your current version is AOK for release.
Perhaps there's another reason why you wont?
this game is fantastic!!! it runs amazingly on my hero, and I love trying to get huge combos!! 5 stars!!!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
EDIT : there seems to be a bug in the app. sometimes when I switch to another app via homescreen or long holding the home button, the gray bar underneath the notification bar that tells the name of the app doesn't go away. and you should put this on the market so we could get the updates.
!!!!!!!
If I'm not mistaken I remember this from my last WM phone (samsung omni) This is a fun game!
Excellent remake.
Makes me wonder though that what this game would be like if it had a mode with accelerometer enabled "physics". Tiles would fall freely to the tilted direction (only one direction at a time in tetris-like fashion) Angle of the tilt would off course relate to falling speed.
It would be the core mechanic with a little bit of action and accuracy.
I tested your game out and it is really good (never played the original), all I can say is make sure you put it on the market as XDA devs have had their apps uploaded to the market by someone else trying to make some quick $$
Cool thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, i'm glad it works on your phones and you like it
As for the accelerometer control, i thought about it, but i'm afraid it would be just something you try and disable, as it will get in the way of the gameplay instead of enhancing it. But if i ever get around to rewriting this game to properly support high-res screens i might try implementing something like that. For now i think gestures control is easy enough. And just in case you didn't notice, the gesture can be performed anywhere on the screen and doesn't have to be long - only the width of a single block is enough.

Yeah, i know the project website is down, but it's still easy to find. However i'm afraid it might not work well with VGA or higher res screen. At least the winMo version didn't work on a HTC Diamond. But i guess there's no hurt in trying.

Yeah, i'm aware of that a**hole stealing other people's work. But right now i don't feel like paying 25 bucks registration fee without even a potential way of getting the money back - google doesn't allow selling apps from my country (yet).
Hi
I remember Shift very well (played it on Ipaq h3970)
Unfortunately I can't run it on Samsung Spica (i5700)- FC right after starting, logcat attached.
Phone config:
-Samdroid 1.3.1(deodexed Eclair, info)
-kernel- Xmister's STD Eclair (info)
-graphic drivers- mixed files from other devices v3 (info, as one of developers I've tested those drivers on everything I could and there were no problems with other apps)

I'm afraid it might be a problem between the engine i used and your device. Could you try running the following app and one attached to this post?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/andengine-examples/org.anddev.andengine.examples
The one above is a demo of the engine's capabilities, and should be compiled against the latest engine version. The attached app is just some random quick test i was doing but it uses the same lib version as shift. So if one works and the other doesn't it will mean that compiling with newer engine version might fix the problem. It will take some time but it's possible. However if none of these work, then i won't really be able to do anyting about it

The one from AppBrain- always FC when starting ShapeModifiers and Irregular ShapeModifiers (both demo and benchmark):
Code:
W/dalvikvm( 8065): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001b180)
Rest of tests works fine.
Attached apk- works fine
I've been working on this app as a pet project for a while, but feel it's finally time to show it to the XDA community. It started out as a theremin app for me to use in my band, but later on I added full keyboard functionality, tons of effects/tones, the ability to save and load presets, and a sequencer. It's written using libPD and Processing, with a custom MSAFluid library for the fluid simulation (nowhere near as good as Fleya but mine is open source ) Also it has great support for honeycomb.

No problem, just played with it. Nice job. My advice to people before passing any judgement is to connect to decent headphones or speakers, the audio completely transforms.

I completely agree. Most android devices are actually pretty good at audio generation (although Android's lag is pretty bad), but the built-in speakers don't do it justice at all.
Sounds like a cool app. Gonna check it out.
Cheers for this. I'm gonna check this out on my Vega when I get home from work.
this is great. I will give it try this weekend with my friends when we jam.
As a side note, why does Android tend to lag so much with these touch based instrument apps? It seems to be the same for all android phones.

It is very minimal. But, when you are playing along with other musicians you can't help but to notice the touch screen lag. When you hit a guitar string it rings out instantly. But with android touch screen instruments there is small delay. It is very minimal, but enough to screw with your head when trying to keep tempo. You end up sounding like you are barely off beat since you slightly miss the 'one' in the progression.
Maybe it is a Froyo API/driver problem?
Very cool!
Laggy but my phone's not the best... I'd love to play with it on a powerful tablet!

The problem is with the general overhead of the touch event system, as well as the scheduler. Android's java event system is on the slow side, just due to the general bulk. Android also doesn't have a 'realtime' mode that really makes music apps responsive.
It's a shame.

love the app, but truly idk what its meant to do?
The sound quality is amazing and annoys my teacher so... its a keeper
So I just pushed version 2.0. It's a huge update. Massive memory savings, tons of new features, and a donate button. Please donate if you like it! I also added translation support, but sadly don't know any other languages, so if you're awesome and multilingual, please help!
As usual, any comments/suggestions/love/hate are welcome!
Wonderful

I completely agree with you. This is something that Google should have done but I can understand why they chose not to do it. They would need to manually screen every app and have some sort of guideline of what is or is not a tablet app. We decided to do it instead. We are no Google, but we can at least try

Is there is a reason you can't get it from the market? If you don't have access to the Android Market then this app is useless since it links you directly to the market to download the apps.

Please post an apk or mark cm_tenderloin as compatible. I want this on my touchpad but I can't get it.
Running ICS.
+1 for the touchpad, can't install it and I would love to have something like this, especially when I'm stuck on gingerbread
It's been more than a week. Still no touchpad compatibility or a freaking apk of the lite version. Screw you, dev.

Calm down man. You need to be running at least Honeycomb. That's not going to change (at least not anytime soon). But here is the apk just in case you want to give it a whirl. Gingerbread is not a tablet OS and that is why its not supported. We don't own any TouchPads to do testing on so it's hard for us to know if it works or not. If you're running CM9 then it should work.

Thanks man . I'm using a touchpad too and would give this a try.
Works well on CM9 alpha 0.6 touchpad. Thanks, dev.
Any TouchPad owner kind enough to give us some screenshots of our app in action? Someone was complaining that it doesn't stretch to fit the screen properly. I would like to see it for myself. Thanks!

I'm not impressed. Your personal opinion that "Gingerbread is not a tablet os" is flawed. The determining factor should be screen resolution and my Nook Color running CM7 with Tablet Tweaks enabled could easily display your app but as someone else pointed out...all your doing is throwing up the tablified website in a frame and tacking on a few more ad's...I could easily just load the webpage and cut out the "middle man".
All the reviews I browsed seemed focused on throwing folks toward pay apps as well while ignoring others which are free AND non ad sponsored. A suspicious person might be led to think someone is getting kickbacks for directing traffic on a "pay per review" basis.
For what it's worth, your app also fails to display properly within the dimensions of the Logitech Revue (Google TV) running Honeycomb at a 720p resolution requiring the user to pan left and right. Poorly Designed.

Gingerbread is not a tablet OS. Doesn't matter on how large of a screen you put it on. Save up and get yourself a real tablet.
It's a bit more than a webview, but okay. Build your own app then. You don't have to use my app. It's easier to navigate than the website on a tablet. You can't filter the results the way we do in the app. So no, we are not just simply displaying the site.
The reviews are unbiased and majority of the apps on there are free. Reader HD, tTorrent, Task to do, JotterHd. These all have free versions. Don't like the reviews? Don't read them. It's really quite simple.
Its not for Google TV. It's for tablets! Now your going to tell me that Google TV is a tablet, right?
If you don't want to support our work then you don't have to. Obviously you're the type of person who thinks people work for free. Servers and writers don't pay for themselves. I won't apologize for trying to get a little compensation for our work.
Can't please everyone I guess.
Thanks for the feedback.
Edit- Looks like we were having some issues with the caching system and so you were probably seeing the full desktop version of the site instead of our custom version for the app. We'll try to address this problem soon. Sorry guys.

Thanks for the rant. "Save up and get yourself a real tablet." Yeah you really make me want to support your "work". As for the logitech revue...perhaps you should spend some time figuring out how to configure your app correctly in google play because it stated the Revue was compatible and allowed the install. Funny how the revue works fine with other "tablet" apps that actually bother to check screen dimensions.
Interesting how you take negative feedback against the APP and turn it into a personal attack on ME.
In the end it's a simple case of mind over matter. I don't mind because you and your app don't matter.
The ability to select text and sharing it seems to be rare in apps for pre-Honeycomb Android versions, so this may be a problem. This app will have limited functionality in those Android versions.
Hey xda developpers,
Here's my shot at my second ad-free app, WordLookup !

What is it?
Many of you have probably heard of the popular Google Dictionary extension for Google Chrome, which allows you to double click any word on a web page to view its definition. I have found this feature indispensable to my web browsing.
Of course, it's not possible to implement something like this in Android just yet, but this app tries to imitate its functionality. There's no need to open another dictionary app to find definitions anymore!
WordLookup allows you to view word definitions easily as you browse the web, and when using apps. It does require an Internet connection to work, however.
Simply hold&select the word you wish to look up, share it with WordLookup and a small notification popup will show a few definitions for the word! It's that simple!
Here's how to use it:
1- Hold and select the word you'd like to get the definitions.
2- Select the Share button in the menu/Action Bar.
3- Share text to WordLookup.
4- The definitions should show up in a bit as a popup(Toast) notification.
Supported Apps:
-ICS Android Browser
-Google Chrome
-ICS Gmail and Email app
-Pulse
-Many,many others. More will be added in this list.
Right now, this app is only tested on Android 4.0 - Ice Cream Sandwich, as many apps on earlier versions of Android do not support sharing text, your mileage may vary, though. Some parts of the program are still very rough, as this is still a beta.
Upcoming features includes offline dictionaries, and more!
Technical stuff in a nutshell:
This app gets the shared text via an intent and uses the Knicker library to fetch definitions from Wordnik (thanks to their nifty API). It then sends the definitions to a custom Toast pop-up, which is displayed on the bottom of the screen.
Bug reports! Suggestions! Angry Hate Mails!
If there's anything, feel free to reply to this thread, or PM me.
Or you can also e-mail me at houyuchen66 [at] gmail.com.
Cool! Where do I get it?
Google play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icechen1.wordlookup
If you find this app useful, a rating would be great! Please leave your feedbacks in this thread, it really helps!
Dammnn, finally i dont need to copy paste the word anymore into some dictionnary web site
This looks like an awesome idea. Would it be possible to auto detect non-English words and auto-translate selected words using Google Translate? Thanks!

That is coming in a future version! Right now, it's mostly a proof-of-concept. Is the app working fine on your phone, however?
Can anyone with a Gingerbread, or previous version of Android confirm if this app works in these versions?
Thanks

Just released a new version on Google Play that should fix these crashes, as well as implementing the native Toast look, and other fixes. Let me know if it works well now!
Question, is it better to use a Toast notification, like now, or switch to a dialog box, which offers more optimization at the expense of more obtrusiveness?

This is a cool idea, but it doesn't really function on my GB TB because the option to share text is limited (as you stated). Still, I'll be following this to see where it goes and I'll definitely give it a spin once I upgrade!
Keep up the work c:
-And a suggestion-
Do you think it would be possible to create an offline version as well and have the word lookups routed through a database in your app instead of online?
I know I'm connected to the internet via wifi and it won't connect... HTC thunderbolt on sfk almost sense 4.0/gingerbread. I could share it and everything though

Hey Meso,
Unfortunately, the limitations on GB seems to be a hard one and cannot be fixed unless the app developer(in the case of the browser, Google) updates it to add sharing, or possibly added into a ROM or something.
And an offline version are upcoming as well, once some flaws with the app gets nailed out. I'm also thinking of using Bing's traslation service to deliver translations in a future version, as well.

Hey,
That's weird, but I may know why, will try to fix it in the next update. I am rather busy these days so you will have to be patient
Meanwhile, try to go on wordnik.com via your phone. It may have been blocked for some reason. Let me know if it works or not.
Just released 0.1.2beta which includes a few buxfixes and also allows me to better identify problems(let me know if you still encounter the problem, Atamagaokashii)
Just released 0.1.5beta:
Changelog:
-Added a loading screen while definition is loading

I'll definitively look into it! The Wordnik API does support pulling from Wikitionary, Webster, etc. It's possible to set this from an option. Glad this app is useful for you!

Since I didn't find anything, I developped my own app called CopySearch. I can't post link, but there is a thread presenting it on xda.
At the end, our 2 apps are totally different, which is fun:
same user needs + 2 different developpers = 2 apps that have nothing in common :laugh:
keep going!

Hi!
I apologise, but we can't post the APK here right now.
However, you can find it in the Google play store in two ways:
Go to the google play store and search for "Calculus Interactive App". It should be first app to surface. Look out for our logo, you can't miss it.
Build the url link like so: <google play store domain>/store/apps/details?id=air.com.neumediatechnologies.calculus
You will have to replace the <google play store domain> with the actual Google Play domain.
Get the FREE Lite Edition!
You can now get the FREE Lite edition here
I'm personally in love with calculus and I'd really like to test this app. However, with the requirement of Adobe Air, I'm hesitant.
Sent from my Nexus Prime
Hi!
Thank you for your expressed interest!
A little bit of history, this app was originally a POC project developed on the flash platform, hence the need for Adobe air to run on android.
However, with your continuous support, we will work towards developing native applications in the future.

I really like the idea and think the app is well done. It looks great on my 720p Note 2 screen.
Some suggestions:
1) the title area in each individual 'lesson' is rather big and I believe making it smaller might allow you more room to space out the calculations and other text of the lessons to make everything a bit more readable (hopefully this makes sense).
2) the end of the whole differentiation lesson/concept doesn't bring you back to the main menu or offer any options to go back or continue or anything (or maybe it is a problem that occurred on my phone)?
3) pressing the back button during a lesson or video closes the app, this is somewhat annoying since most other apps i use, bring you back to the previous 'page' or 'menu' or whatever.
One question I have is if you would be able to expand from general calculus to put in some content and how it might relate to business calculus/principles/ideas? This would be very useful for me since I have always struggled with math and have yet to pass the business calculus class...if you need any help with testing or what not let me know, I'd be glad to help!

well they only finished one of the topics shown so far, i imagine it will take a decent amount of more time.
