Impel is an automation and task creation utility for your phone or your tablet running Android 2.1 through 4.0.
Unlike other utilities, Impel is designed to be simple to use, easy to maintain, very low on memory consumption and polite to system resources (runs as a service or as an app - you choose). Root features are available but it runs just fine without root (su features will be hidden). It is worth noting that on Galaxy Nexus devices there is a force close issue if you use the lock screen camera button. We know about this issue and are working on a fix for this now.
Give Impel a try and see if you like it, then let us know. We're a small developer with some great talent and fast feedback response times, we're just looking for more customers and feedback. There are two versions of the app available in two different storefronts:
Free version with in-app Plus upgrade (no ads) :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.phase2i.impel
Plus version only :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.phase2i.impel

Release Version (Android Market customers only):
Impel free and Plus version 1.1.1 [ Updated 1/23/2012 @ 8:00PM PST ]
Release Notes
I like it. The U.I is much friendlier when compared to a "Similar " app.
May have to upgrade now. I like it.
Thanks and regards
Tested and upgraded, takes 34mb of ram, Tasker takes 5,4mb for exacly the same tasks... :/ so for now..
Will wait a little before reinstall it !
But, really good job, very easier ! Will retry later !

Hmm, interesting feedback on the memory usage. Is that 34MB while in use and the UI isn't being shown? I think there is something odd happening there.
I would be curious to know your device, OS and task setup. By comparison my heavily loaded Impel with 11 tasks using all types of receivers is only 6.9MB while running in app mode. The most I've ever seen Impel use in recent versions is 11MB. My goto, daily device is a Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.2 with Impel 1.1.0 on it.

I got a SGS i9000 with a stock modded (themed and lmk tweaked) JVZ 2.3.6, i haven't got any oyher memory issue and i use very few apps to limit services.
Impel set up as "Quiet", UI closed with sgs task manager (so really closed).
My tasks are :
2 tasks to set media volume with headset plug in or out.
2 tasks to set autosync on/off when power is plugged in/out !
Edit : just retried, 25mo in memory for the processus !

Very odd. How are you determining the memory in use by Impel on your device?
One other thing to check against is to set Impel to disable the tasks and see what is reported then. From within Impel, press Menu, Settings, and check Disable all tasks and exit to the launcher. In this state Impel will have shutdown all services and removed everything from a running state. In essence, it should not be around in memory at all when you reach the home screen.
If your phone still reports Impel as using memory at this point, the memory usage issue lies outside of our control.
Support language Polish please
Sent from my Htc Desire Runnymede AIO
linar10,
We haven't yet provided localized versions for any language, but I will add your request to the list. I would imagine that there would be other languages in the queue ahead of Polish due to the distribution of the app, however. I just want to set expectations appropriately.
As a more general question to the XDA forum, how do most apps from small developers handle localization? It is quite costly to do this work for apps that haven't made much money (that includes Impel at this point) and it seems that most apps are English or developer-native-language only that we see on the Android Market. Are there well known ways to get translations for less that actually are useful?
This looks promising. Will try later tonight if I have time.
As for localization, I've done many translations of software from English to French on different platforms free of charge (or nearly).
I've seen others do the same, I think you'd be surprised to see how many people are ready to translate software, given that you provide them with an easy to use solution/way of translating strings and seeing the changes made.
I've done games and apps translations in the past and I've been rewarded with the software itself for free (plus credits for translation) or a small monetary compensation in the form of a cheque or gift card. Good enough incentives in my opinion, I absolutely HATE when a developer uses google translate or any other automatic translation tool for their software.
An example how is terminated that competition http://muzikant-android.blogspot.com/2011/07/translateit-automateit-with-your.html (sorry my bad english)
OK, thanks for the feedback on the translation work. We will have to look into this for Impel at some point in the future. We don't yet have a way to give away Plus versions of the app, or comp someone who buys it, but that may be possible in the future.
Getting folks to do translations for free, and not put nonsense or bad words into those translations, is certainly a big concern. Not sure how everyone else handles those cases but it is something I worry about.

Makes sense, I imagine you can counter verify by having more than one translator working on one language.
I don't think this issue has ever popped up in the past though, as unlikely as it seems. Some people simply have nice intentions.
polobunny, thanks for the input. Perhaps we'll call on you to help us with French at some point in the future, then
Hello again from the Impel HQ.
For those folks who would like to help test and provide feedback on an updated version of Impel, we have a release candidate for you to take a look at. A couple of fixes and additions have made it into this version, but no major features. Here's what's inside:
Fixed a crash when using the "camera swipe unlock" feature on Galaxy Nexus Android 4.x devices
Fixed a crash with the "network only" location provider service (not using GPS)
Fixed the color picker for very high dpi (Galaxy Nexus, Tablets) devices
Added a new setting: Location Services - restrict Impel to just GPS, just Network, or both
Added detailed location logging into the logcat stream
This build is an install-over-the-top version for Android Market customers only. Sorry about that, Amazon Appstore customers, but there is no way to do beta releases for your version at this time.
If you have Impel Plus, DO NOT uninstall Impel prior to installing this version or you WILL LOSE Plus functions. If you are a free customer this app works the same as your existing Impel does.
For people who want to see what Impel sees when it asks for locations, use your favorite logcat reader (ours is Catlog) and filter for Impel. You will see what Impel is seeing when it asks for a location from your device. The location data works like this:
Ask the device for all location services that are available: GPS and Network (WiFi and cell towers)
Device responds with all services and their accuracy level. The lower the number, the more accurate the service
Impel automatically chooses the most accurate service and gets the location data. This data is provided in Lat/Long format. This data can be dropped right into Google Maps to show exactly where the device thinks it is currently
Please give this a test and tell us what you think. We look forward to your feedback. Thanks!
Hello again. We've taken some more feedback in and have made some additional fixes and updates based on customer input:
* Fixed a crash when using the "camera swipe unlock" feature on Galaxy Nexus Android 4.x devices
* Fixed a crash with the "network only" location provider service (not using GPS)
* Fixed the color picker for very high dpi (Galaxy Nexus, Tablets) devices
* Fixed a WiFi receiver crash in location services
* Added a new setting: Location Services - restrict Impel to just GPS, just Network, or both
* Added detailed location logging into the logcat stream
* Added in-app logging of tasks in chronological order
* Added an additional boot-start permission to fix cases where Impel doesn't always auto-start
Grab a copy of the APK from post #2 and let us know how it works for you. Note: this version is meant to be installed on top of an existing Impel setup from the Android Market only. Amazon Appstore customers cannot use the betas, sorry.
We just released, posted and are starting to see the first bits of version 1.1.1 trickling out into the Android Market. Amazon Appstore folks will have to wait a bit longer for the approval process to see the new bits.
Our thanks goes out to those of you who tried the beta and gave us feedback. It was invaluable and you will find your fixes made it into this release version.
For all the details take a quick look over at our release notes post on our web site. The highlights are below for your perusal:
New setting: Location Services - restrict Impel to use GPS, Network or both
Added detailed location logging into the logcat stream
New stats: Task history shows a chronological list of when tasks were last run
New permission: additional boot-start permission to fix cases where Impel won't always auto-start
Fixed a crash when using the "camera swipe unlock" feature on Galaxy Nexus Android 4.x devices
Fixed "add widget" text to be correct for Android 4.x devices
Fixed a crash with the "network only" location provider service (not using GPS)
Fixed the color picker for very high dpi (Galaxy Nexus, Tablets) devices
Fixed a WiFi receiver crash in location services
General Fixes - some little issues were found and improved upon
Let us know what you think of it, we do hope you'll like it.
We've had quite a few people ask us "what is Impel" and "what can it do?"
So we put together a short, 30 second video with some highlights to explain it. Take a look and see for yourself what Impel can do.
Watch what can Impel do? on YouTube.
Hello there folks. We have had some customers periodically contact us, saying that Impel will lose all of their tasks at some interval (e.g. every week, every few days, etc.). We have researched this issue but have so far been unable to determine the cause and we have not seen this issue on any of our test devices.
We don't know if this issue impacts only a few people (since we've gotten just a handful of emails) or many. So, if you have this issue please contact us! It is very important that we capture all of the details of your device, your tasks, and the exact situations where this task loss occurs. Without your assistance we will continue to look for the issue, but it will be a much slower and more painful fixing process.
Thanks for your help and patience.
widgets
Are there any plans to introduce App Icons for task widgets?
Would like to set up a widget activated task to turn on WiFi then launch. Play store but using the play store icon.
Tasker does this but I don't like the app, UI is too complicated.
Hello world!
I just wanted to let you guys know that I've created a chat application for the Battlelog service, supporting Android devices running 2.2+, and it enables you as a user to chat with your friends "on the go" (without dragging your computer along with you).
The app itself requires you to login with your Origin credentials [CLICK], but pretty much works as a regular web browser does. Once you've logged in, all you have to do is select a friend and chat with him/her - that's about it!
The app is downloadable via Google Play, and the source code is available on Github too.
Enjoy!

Ha, I had this weird itchy feeling inside of me after reading about users wanting a standalone chat app (and DICE not pulling through at the moment), so I felt like I had to do something about it.
I've just updated the app to version 1.0.1, and you can expect it to show up within a few hours. Bugs addressed in this version:
The layout should no longer reset if you rotate the screen in the login
The chat should now make a sound upon receiving a new message
The persistent notification should be doing a better job at persisting
Hey people!
Just dropping by to let you know that the app has been updated to version 1.0.2, where the changes include various bug fixes:
> Sessions are not being scrapped prematurely anymore
> Bug where some users couldn't chat has been addressed
> Notification persists as expected to now
> The app should now detect an offline state upon login
> A closed chat on your device closes the chat on the website too
Also, I added a few minor touch-ups on the UI side of it all, nothing too big.
1.0.5 has been released with a few minor optimizations here and there, but more importantly: it fixes the bugs introduced by the API change. Enjoy.
The app has been updated to 1.0.6 and addresses a few minor functional issues. Go grab it while it's hot.
Hi everyone,
I would like to share my newly created app. It's a lockscreen with anti-theft features built in it.
Antitheft features includes snapping a picture discreetly when a wrong pin is entered, an alarm feature which is IMPOSSIBLE to turn off by a thief unless the battery is taken out, and a GPS locator.
Everything had been created by tasker :laugh: Any suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated

Bugs fixes.
So which phones have a Geiger-Muller tube? I havnt seen this on any spec sheet yet
Mobile phones transmit information to cell towers and antennas. When you are farther away from these towers, your phone works harder for a signal, which causes it to emit more radiation.
We don't really need Geiger-Muller tube.
Thank you.
New Version!
- New Feature!
Smart Data- Magna will detect if the phone close to ear during the call and will turn off mobile data and/or Wi-Fi!
- New UI- add help button for every check box.

New update:
Remove Magnetic Field alerts.
New update to pro version fixed critical bug.
Automatically turn off Mobile data doesn't work for Android 5+ due to android restrictions.
Sorry.

Hi everyone! I am a newbie developer and just trying to learn whatever I can and along the way I am putting it all together to craft something better. I must tell you I am not good with UIs so if you find the app's UI, rather, not appealing please don't hesitate to give me some pointers on how can I make it better.

You can also get new update from GitHub latest release. Latest stable version is also available here as a zip file.
Important notice: If for some reason you experience problems and, you cannot stream anything or, the app does not show any data then it is recommended to use a VPN service for the app. I personally use hide.me (use my referral please and help me) and they provide 10GB of monthly free data to those who sign-up for a free account.
If you experience any other issues, for example: crashes etc or weird behavior from the app, then you can head to Github Issues above and create an issue with your problem.

I have tested the app myself and it works with WiFi and Mobile Data. You should also consider this.
I have downloaded it from xda. The latest one. It's the same. No data. And confirmed that it doesn't work on mobile data.
Well if that's the case then can you access www1.swatchseries.to?
if you can access the website then the app should work fine for you. If you cant access the website then you need to consider using a VPN.
App not working.
Tried past 3-4 builds all of them are having the same problem. Need help @ahmar16 .
Have you tried the app using a VPN?

Nice work so far!
Hi @ahmar16 , I like your work so far and will report back an issue or two as I get further into it. For now though can you tell me if the "recently updated" section is going to be expanded beyond the first 20 items it finds? 200 would be more like it in my view.

From where I grab the data, it only presents a handful of 20 items at a time. I can go further and grab some more pages in the background and present a longer list but that seems like overkill in my view because then I'll need to do more work on it to see if it fits the recently updated section or not. But I'll see if I can manage to increase the items. Thanks
Why can't i watch shows without vpn from India?
Please view the code from Github page and browse the server from where the app downloads its data. If you can access the server website then you should be able to access the app without an issue.
Is the developer @ahmar16 still here? I think the host URL needs a change in the source. Or is someone on here set up with the development environment to make the change and recompile the .APK?
