Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Hi - I think if they are unique and useful then we'll need to post a description of what they do, otherwise you'd have to download it and try it out to see if it's something that you'd find useful....
For me - Data on demand - switches your mobile data connection off when you're screen is off, unless a background task calls for it.
and battery indicator - put's a little battery icon in your status bar which shows you how many % battery you have left.. much more useful than the vagaries of the std battery icon.

Hey above two are very common man
Ok let me tell u abt mine:
1. Droid phone control
U can the contents of ur phone on laptop without using usb cable..u can do a lot more..give it a try
2. MeContact
Very very useful widget for smart dialling
3. Speak n send
Just speak n it gets converted into txt which u can either sms or put on facebook, twittet, etc
4. Storage info
Shortcut to see the memory status in just one clik
5. Uninstaller (mini soft)
Best uninstaller in terms of speed n ui

My first post!
Just to correct OP, MeContacts is not a smart dialer. It's an app that you can put different contacts in grid view. You can choose either to call or view contact when you tap on that particular contact. Also, speak and send is great, thanks OP.
I've been nerding and looking up for anything that can improve my X10. I'll name the ones that I don't think are very common. But ya, here goes my long list (in no particular order; i don't use all of these now, but they have been useful to me before)...
*1) QuickDesk Beta
- quick pop up menu where you can add apps/widgets and allows you to stay on your current application (for some reason the double tap doesn't work for me, but single tap works fine)
2) Last Call Widget
- a simple widget that lets you see your last call (can 1 click to call back the caller if it was a missed call)
3) Quick Settings (by Sergej Shafarenka)
- an app that lets you quickly set your WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. This is better than having a widget constantly running in the background
4) Quick Battery (by Sergej Shafarenka)
- nice looking battery widget
*5) Multicon Widget
- have 4 shortcuts (not widgets) in a normally 1 icon space (helps save a lot of space)
*6) Car Mode
- press on the icon, and phone all phone calls will be coming out of the speakers (NOT a bluetooth feature which connects to other BT devices)
7) Turtle Photoframe
- best (in my opinion) photoframe for pictures, not a lot of features or customization, but gets the job done I think
8) Unit converter (by Wopnersoft)
- really nice looking interface for a unit converter
9) Tajm
- presents the time and date in word format rather than numbers
*10) Shake - Uninstall
- enable the feature, and go into any application (does not work with widgets), then shake to uninstall the app
11) Blik Calendar Widget
- a 4x1 widget that shows your calendar schedule for about 8-10 days. Uses 1 of 500 built in pics to describe your activity for that day
*12) Home Switcher
- if you use a lot of different launchers and set 1 as a default, this will be very useful for you to toggle between the different launchers
*13) Market History Manager
- 1 click to delete the history in Market, very useful and straightforward
*14) ToDo List Widget
- easy to add, edit, and delete lists. very handle and simple to use.
Hope that list helps people! *phew* that took awhile to type it up =P
*starred ones are the ones I think are most useful.

Is this available on the Android Market?

Ghost Commander... A great Dual-pane file manager(like Norton Commander, FAR manager etc), making it very easy to copy and paste between folders in your SDcard, both panes are individually configurable and its the only file manager that i use...
Its a free download from android market
Note: if you've already used dual-pane file managers handling this is a breeze, but for first timers there is a small learning curve

Thanks ECBomb for sharing the names of those apps..will try n let u know

[APP] Meta Widget - create widgets from any website content

META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

Yes of course!

Ok, here is my report, takes a very long time to load the page. I could say the interface can be a little better like maybe add some words on the buttom. Side to side doesn't seem to work for me, maybe it was the website I was on.
Not bashing the widget, just want to provide constructive criticism based on my opinion. If the speed of the browser would be faster, it would be perfect. Also Idk if u could, can u select more then on place on the website to create a widget for? I didn't know how if u could
Edit: leaving 5 star feedback because I am sure u can fix everything in the future, thanks for ur hard work

There isnt much to be done about the browser im afraid. Re the interface, it will definitely be adjusted in futuer updates. Re multiple elements no this isnt possible its just a limitation of the os. Re arrows - they are contextual and are actually more like "expand left" rather than move left.

The widget constructor will be out tomorrow!

Widget Maker is out, you can find it here:

Any comments?

Any issues or suggestions to report?

I'm using a custom ICS rom - Eaglesblood on my T-Mobile G2x.
When I attempt to place the widget on an open home page, I get the "type in a page url" screen that disappears after 10 seconds. Doesn't allow me to enter a web page. It then attempts to go back to the home screen but it freezes in doing so, leaving a "frame" where the widget would have been. After a minute or so all is normal again.

Someone is looking for a Yahoo Fantasty Football app....with better UI

Okay how about an app that uses your phone's GPS to find all grocery stores in your area. From there you can type in the name of an item and it would cross reference the prices of all the surrounding stores and give you a list of all the prices. With the economy being in the crapper and money getting tight, it seems like it could be a killer app.

Google Maps + Google Shopper already do this to the best knowledge they can as stores do not show all food costs online.

since you say u r new, i suggest you to go for an idea which has already been made and put your flavor on it, once you get your hands on it, u can make something original. I like a fully functional app that uaes the proximity sensor to operate differnt functions, there is already an app, but it has flaws

Make a good porn app.

An animated nyan cat widget (with a mute toggle) would be nice...

Haha I was thinking in some app what make raffles. For example: many people get together at an raffle, then each person gives their numbers to participate, then your Android randomly chooses a number and sends a SMS to the winner.
You can read the numbers from a file.

Clock in notification panel
Hi, I would like to see a clock developed which would sit in the notification panel. There would be an optional icon displayed in the status bar.
I like to keep my wallpaper clean and it would be useful to drop the notification panel down and see a customizeable digital clock. It should open the alarm or calendar When tapped.
Good luck with any project undertaken.

I was just thinking of an app that help me make a reminder for bill, and it must support taking OCR of the bill details.
I know there is one in the market, but doesn't work like what I want.
It should work like the business card reader, where it knows which part is a person's name, which part is the company, which part is the address, the phone, the email, so on and so forth.
This bill app should let me "scan" the bottom part of my bill with the camera, where the payment details are (account number, amount, due date) and set a reminder for me on my google calendar.

i dont think is a hard thing to do but i think is always dependent to the app you use to play music, but is something i can see also.
The main idea of this post is to get ideas base on the needs of nowadays. Like when we are on the street, and we need that app for knowing the nearest grocery or something else wich could make our life easier. If anyone has time to think a little on what they need most, and think is missing, or an app wich they dont think is easy enought, thats mostly what i want to start building. I really liked some ideas here already stated, just 1 more week and i'm ready for building apps.
About porn apps , maybe after the serious stuff for fun lool

What about an app that shows any combination of chosen apps in tabs?
For example, you can put your favorite calendar app and your favorite task planner app in a single tabbed layout.
Or your music player and last.fm scrobbler.
Or Whatsapp, K9 Mail, and your SMS app all in a single three-tabbed meta messaging app.
Or Skype and Viber.
Etc.
It wouldn't take a lot of coding. You just need some code to frame other apps in yours, a settings screen to choose which apps you want to see, and a way to send a shortcut to your home-made app combo to your homescreen. If it's your first app it's a good idea to keep it simple.

[APP][2.3+] AVP Calculator [v1.3][23/10/12]

AVP Calculator​
There are a lot of calculators out there in Google Play. All of them perform arithmetic functions to give you the desired result.
My app is different. Suppose you want to calculate the area or volume of a figure, you know the given values, but you don't remember the formulae to find it. AVP Calculator is the solution to that problem. Loaded with 7 2D figures and 5 3D figures (and their types), this app helps you to calculate area and perimeter of 2D figures, and volume and surface area of 3D figures. AVP = A(rea)+V(olume)+P(erimeter).
The 2D figures include:
+Square
+Rectangle
+Circle
+Parallelogram
+Rhombus
+Triangle (with types)
+Trapezium
The 3D figures include:
+Cone
+Cuboid
+Cylinder (with types)
+Cube
+Sphere
Hope you like the app.
Thanks to QuantumFoam, who helped me bypass any obstruction I came across while building this app.
Screenshots and apk file in attachment. Thanks to tjsgy for providing me with the SS of v1.2, when my phone wasn't working.
CHANGELOG :-
v1.0.1
- Added Decimal support (probably a lame update)
- Fixed some calculation errors and bugs
v1.1
- Added background images for other screens
- Added two more options in menu
+ An Exit button
+ A link to the XDA thread
v1.2
- Added a different background image for some screens
- Added images of the figures for better understanding
- Added a different app icon
v1.2.1
- Minor bug fix of old icon being shown instead of new one.
v1.3
- Added support for "Regular Polygon"
Please uninstall the app first and then install the updated one, just to make sure that all changes are visible.

Thanks for your app, but :

[APP][FREE + NO ADS][4.0+ FOR SURE] We Have To Go Back, Kate!

3.1 BETA OUT NOW
This is my first app, so lots of *constructive* feedback would be nice.
It's nothing special (I did it on MIT AppInventor like the noob who knows no java that I am)
Ever leave somewhere and forget how to get back?
Problem = Solved.
Simply press the button and it will remember your "Island Location" -- for you Lost fans --which you can name.
The rest is pretty self explanatory.
Screenshots in attachments
CHANGELOG
// What's new in 3.1
-- Added 2 customizeable saved locations
-- Fixed buttons getting cut off
// What's new in 2.1
-- Settings bugs hopefully fixed -- I'm currently testing it
*Changng to Lost background will apply after app is closed and reopened
// What's new in 2.0
-- Settings -- Change the look of the main screen
MORE SETTINGS TO COME -- just a trial run right now
// Planned changes for next version
-- Whatever I can think of. Any suggestions?
P.S. If you want an older version just pm me I'll get it for you

Has anyone used this app? Really looking for some feedback...

I downloaded your app, and you have a good idea and it is functional, although obviously limited in design and some functionality due to the lack of raw java. I also think it would be nice to have some settings of some sort, if it's possible to add those with the program you used to create it

Does your app do something that using Google Maps w/ starred locations doesn't do?
If I go somewhere and think I might be so unfamiliar with the area that I might not be able to locate my car, I star the location I've parked at then use that when I leave wherever I went to easily find my spot.
It kind of sounds like your app does this too, but as its only feature?

Probably not. The only difference I imagine is that the app does it just by pushing buttons. It actually uses Google maps for directions. Sorry if that's disappointing for you haha
