Dropbox App BETTER THAN Pre-release Update!! - Android Apps and Games

EDIT: The update (2.0) is now live in the market, but you might want to BEWARE, read my comments below. These "bugs" I mention have turned out to be "features" of 2.0 so they will break what I listed. Update at your own risk. For me and the way I use Dropbox, the new pretty UI was definitely not worth the lost functionality. Fortunately I came across another Beta version (1296) that brings all the goodness of the UI update without breaking any of the good stuff the old version had! New file below
I just received a Dropbox Pre-release Update that I thought I'd share with the good peeps of XDA.
Some nice updates coming down the pipe, but we get to play with it now. (Make sure you have a backup of your folder and previous DB setup.)
From the email:
Here's the stuff we've added:
• Favorites: quick offline access to files
• Bulk upload photos and videos
• Access all file and folder actions with just one tap
• Improved gallery view
• Upload from and export to your phone's memory
• Rename files and folders
• Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) improvements
• Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements
EDIT: Some nice UI changes, but some bugs in this as well:
The sdcard/Dropbox file is moved to sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/scratch and will no longer play nice with wallpapers, ringtones, etc.
You now add files as Favorites to make them available offline, but there is currently no way to make folders favorites, so you would have to mark each file you want to use offline
No longer an indicator showing whether a file is already downloaded or not
Added bulk upload, but still no bulk download
Lost the updating/downloading notification on the status bar, now we don't know when the files finished uploading/downloading
And here's the apk. If you still want to give it a go. And the Dropbox Forum discussion if you want to join in.

Great find mate - works a treat.
Looks much better

I just updated the OP with more info on a different Beta I discovered. This is the beta before 1306 and provides all the beauty of the new UI with all the functionality and ease of the old version! Really good stuff. Personally, I wouldn't update in the market. I'd use 1296, I am.

Application Updates to Avoid

I thought I'd put up a thread for people to post applications that you might not want to update. Many of us just blindly apply updates on cruise control every time we see them but sometimes that isn't the best course of action. This is for applications that add ads, take away features (in order to put them in pay versions), or decrease reliability. If anyone is aware of a site or better collection of info, please let me know and I will link to it. If you disagree with me (or someone else), post up as well.
- ASTRO File Manager v2.5.2 - adds ads, old version nags to update
unless you google for the pro apl. =]
j/k
Astro v2.5.1 may be set to expire if I recall. Either way I bought the Pro when it became available @ $3. I don't mind paying for someone's work, especially for a product I find far above other's in it's category that I've used.

true that. im gonna download an official version since its worth it.
Root explorer is better IMO.
Shazam 1.3 -> 2.0
Version 2.0 now requires a subscription to lift the 5tags/month limit.
Listen 1.1.3 introduces ask sorts of weird bugs especially with bluetooth headsets. Sticking on 1.1.2 for now.
Posted by my rooted EVO 4G
Does anyone have the 1.3 version of Shazam? I flashed my phone to Fresh and I forgot to back it up.

I'm looking for the hit the penguin game from MTM HZSTUDIO version 1.0 or 1.0.1. The dev started changing the looks and sounds of the game. People loved it and were begging him to revert back to old version that they loved. Dev kept changing the game, gameplay, graphics, and sounds anyways.

I should make myself archive apps and label them BEFORE updating! More times than not, I found that I should have not updated because of one reason or another. At first I thought it was stupid to keep old versions, but now I see why that can be a good thing.
here's 1.3
Quote From the Shazam Blog....
"We’ve dedicated this blog post to help resolve any misunderstanding around the continutation of free unlimited tagging for our original users who downloaded Shazam on Android Market before 13th July 2010.
To give you some background, our original Shazam on Android app (version 1) was a great success, quickly becoming one of the most popular downloads on Android Market. In gratitude to our version 1 users who supported us, we decided to adopt a ‘grandfathering’ approach, giving them the best of both worlds – the continuation of unlimited tagging, together with all the great features in our new release (version 2.0). This offer is for the life of their current device.
So how does it work?
Shazam has two consumer offerings:
Shazam: A free to download app supported by advertising, with core functionality and ability to identify up to 5 songs per month
Shazam Encore: A premium version of the app with no advertising, unlimited tagging and additional features.
If you downloaded the free version of Shazam prior to the 13th of July 2010 and tagged at least one song, you can update to the latest version of Shazam and still receive unlimited tagging.
Shazam is supported by advertising, so our existing version 1 users who downloaded 2.0 will still see adverts on their device but still keep unlimited tagging. Grandfathered users can of course purchase Shazam Encore to enjoy the Shazam experience without advertising.
Users who downloaded version 1 and tagged at least one song, but subsequently removed/uninstalled the application also keep unlimited tagging when they download the latest version – you do not have to keep the old version on your phone for unlimited tagging to remain. Users can also uninstall and reinstall 2.0 without affecting their grandfathered- status.
We hope this post has helped clarify things. If you’d like find out more about our Android app, please visit our website and check out the FAQ page."
Most recent Qik update breaks Sense. I'm surprised no one has posted about this before. Roll Qik back by Uninstalling Update in Applications to get rid of the problem.
It shows up as the phone not remembering what to do when you press the home button. It will ask you what launcher to use every time you do a long press regardless if you check the remember box.
You don't wanna update Google Voice if you have the number picked for unlimited calling.

[APP 2.1+] System Tuner

Dear users,
Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.
To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.
With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.
Thank you all!
We're working on System Tuner version 3.0. Beta testing should be available soon, stay tuned.
Please check this for a 3-in-1 integrated app: ANDROID TUNER.
ANDROID TUNER IS NOT A REPLACEMENT APP BUT AN INTEGRATION OF ALL 3C APPS AND MANY OTHER
There are 2 options for existing users wishing to use the integrated version:
1) you can use Android Tuner Free which unlocks all already paid features from Battery Monitor Widget Pro and System Tuner Pro (except widgets)
2) or you can use a discount on Android Tuner paid version with this migration offer, note however we can no longer refund old apps as before because refund policy on Play Store have changed since December 20th
We're currently using Android Tuner's existing source code to rebuild BMW and ST from scratch, this is a lot of work and requires a lot of manual handling to avoid these:
- A 10MB APK instead of today's 2MB APK.
- A near-bug-free experience, beta testing will run for a long time with selected users, depending on users' feedback and app usage.
- Accurate data migration for user switching from 2.x to 3.0 without data loss.
- Removing features from BMW without breaking the app (battery data)
- Keeping a low memory footprints splitting UI and services components
- Keeping app performance as high as possible (version checks at run time)
- Removing features using new permissions without breaking the app (sms, contacts, etc). More than 20 permission in AT!
Note that the above is very complex and represents a lot of work, so it will take time before 3.0 is actually published.
More coming soon, stay tuned.

Could be because of the customized rom, I'm a newbie with x10, just installed the blue spark rom on my 2nd day use, because of the flop score... I tried all day yesterday downloading the widget, search the web for fixes, but no, the download just won't start (or finish)! Really want to try this app to see cpu mhz & usage on "front panel"!
I even used the SDK and emulate avd to download the file...
May be u would consider posting it here? Oh, I even installed Slide 4.0, but they don't have your app, may be u can post there as an alternative? Can download there no problem, just tried aiSystem.

Hello totalz,
Sorry for the late reply, I've been quite busy lately.
I'd rather email it to you, so I don't have old versions to update here and there in the future. PM me for my email or directly from Google Market.
Great app.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks and has alot of info in a tiny 1x1 space.
I put free memory on top, cpu speed at the bottom, cpu load and free internal memory on the sides.

Any thoughts about combining your battery monitor widget functions and tying the battery consumption to the process? Maybe I'm over(under)thinking it, but being able to see graphically process history vs battery consumption per process would be very helpful to narrowing down inefficient apps.
Cheers
Nice app! Thanks!

[APP ADD ON] ProjectM / NEST DROP add on Visualizer Preset MEGA Pack 2.0 by: Monsieurtalbot

UPDATE - THIS PROJECT IS DEAD AND DEPRECIATED. THE PRESETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE - BUT THESE DIRECTIONS VERY LIKELY NO LONGER APPLY TO CURRENT VERSIONS OF PROJECT M. THESE PRESETS ARE ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH NESTDROP - AND AS SUCH I HAVE PROVIDED A ZIP LINK ON COMMENT # 23. GOOD LUCK!
I HAVE JUST FINISHED TESTING THE NEXT VERSION OF PROJECTM WHICH **INCLUDES** THIS PRESET PACK IN THE DOWNLOAD AVAILABILITY. EXPECT AN UPDATE ANY DAY THAT INCLUDES THIS MOD ALREADY! (VERSION 3.32) + TOUCH INTERACTIVE SETTINGS ARE FIXED IN SOON TO BE RELEASED TEST BUILD.[/COLOR
I have compiled a bunch (about 9,000) Milkdrop and ProjectM presets not included in the app itself for use in ProjectM visualizer for Android (which only comes with about 250 available stock)... Here is the quick readme and directions I wrote up... Simple install... Make sure you have "ProjectM" from the Play Store installed before attempting this.
KEEP IN MIND - This may only be good for higher end (1ghz+) devices...
ROOT ACCESS IS NOT REQUIRED!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE 4/8/2012- THANKS to XDA member and app dev "Psperl" this package will soon be available to download as a preset pack IN APP for the ProjectM visualizer- after a little bug chase, of course. So those of you that want this without the manual installation; wait a few days. - And anyone who finds the culprit .milk preset that is causing these very rare FC bugs will earn my gratitude. Please share anything you find.
UPDATE 4/6/2012- Make sure to DISABLE all interactive touch related settings in ProjectM settings - they cause Force Closes in my experience it seems after this mod. Maybe another reason we're limited to such a small selection of visuals stock... Change Preset mode is fine - the dev has been made aware of this issue and is looking into it. FIXED (for most presets)
UPDATE 4/5/2016 - Finally the developer released an update to ProjectM on the play store but has STILL not included this mega pack to date. Please continue to enjoy. Hopefully the developer releases this eventually. Continue to expect occasional crashes with this pack installed.
There are also VERY rare Force closes just in general... I believe due to an incompatible .milk file preset that is displayed randomly (we are already making this display content the app wasn't intended for- it is to be expected)... I'm trying to track that down and will release another update when I figure out which of the 9,000 isn't working right- hah. ...Till then, enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ProjectM for Android Add on Pack 2.0 - Compiled by Monsieurtalbot
Disclaimer: I in NO way take responsibility for any of the work enclosed in this zip archive...
Nor am I responsible for damage to your phone, yourself, your girlfriend, your dog, or anything that may just get in the
way of your phone's flight path across the room...
I have simply gathered these presets from various forums/torrents around the web into one place and tested them
in ProjectM for ANDROID devices. This is tested to work on HIGHER END (1ghz+) devices.
This is a compilation of various Milkdrop presets not included in the projectM app... YET (will be available in app soon hopefully!)...
DIRECTIONS-
Code:
DISABLE all interactive touch related options in ProjectM settings- touch
doesn't work with most of these and DOES cause force closes. Change
Preset mode is fine.
UnZIP the archive.
Copy the CONTENTS of the "ProjectM Add on Presets" folder
(not the folder itself) to:
"/Sdcard/ProjectM"
on your device. (THIS IS ON GALAXY SII) - (The folder may be elsewhere,
but it will be located on in the USER root of your internal SD and will work
on any device.)
Depending on whether you've downloaded presets from the app it may ask if
you want to overwrite files... Go ahead and skip them if you want... It
shouldn't matter either way.
Then start ProjectM, and give it about 10 min (sometimes more) to parse
all the new preset files (there's a lot of 'em), and VOILA -
You have about 9,000 new presets. (From the original 250 available!!) :)
****IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO PARSE THE FILES THE FIRST TIME ONLY- Afterwards,
it starts immediately. Don't be impatient -THERE IS NO STATUS BAR.
You can hit "Menu>Browse Presets" and you will see no presets listed until
it finishes the initial start. Only then will it start visualizing something
other than "Project M"...
[COLOR="Red"]I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH - WAIT. THEY WILL SHOW UP EVENTUALLY.[/COLOR]
--IF COMING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION--
Just go ahead and write over all previous files.
I will update this package as I find more. Enjoy. I know I am. xD
DOWNLOAD MIRROR VERSION 2.0- LINK DEAD SEE FINAL UPDATE BELOW
ALSO- Just so the community knows... ProjectM for Android is compatible with a LOT of the Milkdrop .milk files available in forums and torrent sites around the web. Do some searching, I am sure there are more that work. It would seem certain ones won't work due to shader support, but it is certainly possible to add even more. FYI.
--Changelog--
4/5/2012 - 1.0 - initial test release - 900 added presets
4/5/2012 - 2.0 - MEGA release - 9,000 more added presets
FINAL UPDATE - 6/20/2022 - Project is depreciated. Links are dead. Please see my comment linking my original 52K presets collected

forum.xda-developers.com
Todo list: Fix occasional Force close bug... Possible touch support? I'm contacting the app dev.
**Touch support is fixed in later versions of ProjectM for Android.
Version 2.0 uploaded and ready to go. Now including over 9,000 additional visual presets for ProjectM!
Oh and just so everyone knows... Lots of people are downloading this, but no one is commenting. lol
Jeez, hit thanks or something. xD
How would you feel if I made this accessible in app like the other two preset packs? Of course, you would get to name the preset pack and write the description.
Also, there is no reason touch effects should stop working after a lot of presets are installed. I haven't tried to load this many presets though. The only reason it comes with 250 is because those are the 250 I had the patience to personally test for performance, quality, and uniqueness.
so far one of them completely quits the app. unfortunately I can't identify which one but kudos for this massive collection. I just wished the majority of them respond to the audio more

haha, I'd be honored... You can call it the "VJ Tbot Mega Pack" or something... (seeing as I'm a visual Jockey down here in South FL... seems fitting)
The only problem I saw loading so many presets was the amount of time it took to parse them all the first time loading the app post install. Took nearly 10 minutes... lol
I'm still trying to figure out which preset is crashing the system though. Gonna take a bit of sifting.
Thanks!
Oh, and I was having trouble with touch response with a LOT of the presets... So I just turned it off... Wish I could tell you why...
Thanks a lot for your hard work...

The in-app preset pack downloader shows a progress bar while initializing the presets so that will at least give people some feedback. Truth is, the operation shouldn't be so slow. Carm wrote the preset loader, which doesn't actually open the file as far as I know, so it has no business taking that long. I will try and speed it up before making your preset pack available. It might take a few days though.
If you find the bad preset pass it over and we will fix the bug that causes the crash. I bet there is more than one bad preset. I'll check out the touch response too, although that one confuses me. There is no reason that shouuld be affected by having many presets.
The thing is, since I loaded the presets manually... It didn't show a download bar- or any progress bar at all, unless I completely missed it....
Maybe there is one and I missed it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't implement unless you download in app... which making this an official package will fix...

Yeah, there is no progress bar when projectM reads in new presets at application startup. I took a look at the slowness today. We are doing individual inserts per preset, we need to [email protected] a bulk insert and it should be a lot faster.
Ok, keep in mind also, that I copied all the .Milk files out of my Android to make this package- including the ones available in app... So we're gonna have to remove them to make this a true separate package... Just throwing that out there too.
I leave this in your capable hands, Psperl...

Talbot, PM me your email address so I can send you a test build with 100x faster preset loading and your preset pack available as a downloadable pack. Loading is much faster but unzipping the zip file still takes a long time on device. I tried unzipping it with ES Zip Viewer and it still took a while so its not like projectM's unzipper is terrible. I also removed the xisting presets from the zip.
UPDATE- see OP.

[APP] SwitchMe - multiple user spaces - feedback please

Hi guys, if you remember a while back we released a little app called SwitchMe that basically adds the multiple user features that Google is working on. Back then the app was at an early stage, and we thought it would be a good idea to not expose SM to Note owners because of some issues with memory use on the device.
Now though we think weve fixed it. So please, dive in, the app is at last available to Note owners on the play store, and let me know if it works.
Be sure to MAKE A NANDROID FIRST just in case. PR after the break.
******************************************************************************************************************************
SwitchMe - share your device!
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.
Some of the benefits of this technology:
Privacy
Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.
Kids
Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.
Gaming
Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games
Speed
Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.
Testing
Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!
Battery
Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.
Critical usage warning:
Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.
READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES
Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.
Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.
Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The Lite version only allows the creation of two profiles and has no security features.
Screens:
Tried it.. one problem..
If you remove the default launcher that came with the rom, and switch to a profile, there is no launcher..
Workaround - create a profile when you install the rom, rather than after you have set it up to your taste..
This is not a bug - any system apps you remove will be removed in all profiles. The solution is to add your custom launcher to the system partition, or to install it via adb in your new profile.
Hi guys. Heres an update with some critical fixes:
1.5.3.13
Added compatibility for Galaxy Note
Fixed switch screen issue on OTA updates and wipes
Reworked wipe profile behavior

[APP][4.0+] TopNTP 1.1 - Achieve Rapid GPS Locks, Use more GPS Sats, Reliable NTP

GPS.conf Profiles
This app does installs a customized gps.conf file for your GPS. It has several different profiles to choose from. We recommend to use the default Google profile but it is up to you. Apart from the general profiles, you can customize the one profile you choose to fit your own needs.
NTP Servers
Derek Gordon maintains a special NTP server pool for you. Dispite what everyone thinks, it is not necessarily the one closest to you which is the best. We consider Derek Gordon's server to be the best option to choose because it has the best data and is most frequently updated.
For more information about the NTP server check out the "About this app" section found under the settings of this app. Also, feel free to visit derekgordon.com for more in depth information.
aGPS Alamanacs
Derek Gordon maintains a special aGPS almanac for devices using Qualcomm or similar chipsets. This xtra.bin data file is updated every 30 minutes and is located on a content delivery system maintained by the generous donations of ther userbase.
For more information about the NTP server check out the "About this app" section found under the settings of this app. Also, feel free to visit derekgordon.com for more in depth information.
Donations
To maintain the server we need money. Donations through this app will be divided between Derek Gordon (Crypted) and Zatta on XDA.
Each star costs 2 Euro and will reduce the waiting time before you can install the patch. 0 star users wait 20 seconds, 1 star users 10, 2 star users only 5 and 3 star users and Premium users can install immediately.
You can become a premium user for only 5 Euro. This is a discount of 1 euro compared to a three star user! We choose this method to allow every one to use all features of this app and because we believe in XDA developers users. Please, don't leech!
Backup and Restore
On the first run of this app a backup is made on your SD card. Don't remove it because a backup is only made during the first run (or at an update if you choose to remove it anyway) and no other backup is found on your SD card.
ROM Updates
The patch this app provides is located on your /system partition so every time you do update your ROM the patch is overwritten and you will have to redo the patch.
Unless you are using a Cyanogenmod based ROM and your rom has addon.d support. In that case a script will be placed in the addon.d directory to preserve the patch.
It can be disabled in the app's settings but is enabled by default.
ASUS Users
On ASUS roms a typical file is present at /system/etc/gps, namely the gpsconfig.xml file. This app pathes that file as well, to be specific the PeriodicTimeOutSec parameter. Of course a backup is made of this file as well.
Get it on Google Play!

All functions are for free, we just need your absolutely voluntarily donations to keep the server up in the air. We trust XDA users fully!

Installed.
I use GPS Status app for testing my GPS, and after installing this app, it needed <10 secs to find my exact location.And I wasn't even under the clear sky.It usually takes min or two to get lock.The thing is, when I opened maps, it wasn't so precise.The circle was around 1km big.Thats strange.I will test more tomorrow though.
Can you explain exactly how this app helps to get quicker gps lock?

I can't do that exactly because there are many variables that are tweaked. This has been a long process, Crypted spent roughly 2 years experimenting with the gps.conf file and maintains 30 (!!) threads for various devices all over XDA.
The main thing though is the excellent ntp server he maintains.
Thanks to all downloaders over the past two weeks. We are now on a steady 400 active installations of the app, that is a rate of 66 percent of the total downloads which is great!
What makes me even more proud is that I didn't get any bug reports so far..

On the first run it didn't creat the backup of original GPS.config file. It just created the empty topntp folder in sdcard.Also GPS lock improvements is not visible. I'm using job 4.1.1

Did it create an backup of the new file than? For which device?
Edit: can you sent a copy of your original /system/etc/gps.conf? Or has your rom the conf file somewhere else or something strange like that?

No it didn't create the backup of original file. just the folder was created in the sdcard.The new file is created in system/etc folder. I will try to upload original GPS confg file from ROM dump. I'm on micromax a110 device. It is a rebranded Chinese phone available in Indian market
Just to give some more info if that will help. I'm using an extremely large host file to block ads. not sure if this has any connection.
Been testing this on a Nexus 4 with Stock ROM and Franco Kernel. I've always had spotty GPS (if at all, specially inside buildings if I don't turn On WiFi). Yesterday, it locked me inside my house without WiFI after reboot in 3-4 seconds. Today, it has been kind of spotty. I flashed the General settings with no specific Country. I live in Puerto Rico. Do you recommend some specific settings?

Describe your surroundings. Explain the comment that it always had spotty gps reception...

Sometimes it works others it doesn't. My surroundings change but its urban. At times it locks at a previous location.

Yes it is rooted & even the GPS config file is getting updated. In the setting I choose Asia. India & Google profile

Come on now, don't be so vague...
When it doesn't work, where are you? When it works, where are you?
Do you have any non-standard Nexus 4 ROMs installed? Any other GPS tweaks installed?
If it locks at a previous location, it sounds like GPS isn't being activated and it uses cached coordinates.
I have Stock ROM rooted with Franco Kernel, nexus 4. It doesn't work as well inside buildings which is to be expected. Yet I would like to have at least an estimate of my position. Couldn't this be done with network data? No other mods installed.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I'm currently at home with WiFi off. The stock GPS icon shows my location is set however GPS status app nor Google maps Can lock on a location.
