[APP] Quotes n Jokes

Hey everyone,
to make myseld more familiar with some of the new HC/ICS features (ActionBar, Fragments, ViewPager, etc...) i made a new app.
This time is it something to make you laugh or kill boring hours waiting for something - "Quotes" (not the final name)...
Before i'm going to publish this in the market i want to give you the opportunity to give it a try and provide feedback if you want to.
I'm looking forward to all your feedback!
The APK is attached to this post (package name already reserved in market ).

Some background info:
The backend is done with Google AppEngine + Jersey (RESTful webservice).
All the quotes are saved in the AppEngine datastore.
The app aggregates the view counts of all views in the internal SQLite database and submits those aggregated values once every day (to prevent massive write operations on the AppEngine datastore).
Ratings are submitted instantly.
The app has an auto update feature which will be executed once every day by default (interval configurable and you can also turn it off completely). This update process retrieves only those quotes that have been changed since the last update. They are transmitted with a GZIP compression to save your bandwidth!

Nice app, tested on my sgs2 running 2.3.5
Tho the first load took a while
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

yes that's normal on first launch. it downloads all the data. You can configure the interval of auto updates in the settings (or disable it if you prefer manually updating the data).

Published

pushed an update this morning (0.1.1) that fixes a bug with viewcount submission...

My two favourite things in one app! I'll give some feedbacks soon.

haha very funny app, thanks!

[Q] Change screen rotation delay in ICS?

(I am on the unofficial CM9 release)
Is this possible? I know the delay was set by Google to keep the screen from rotating when you don't want it to, but it doesn't bother me if it rotates on accident- and if it did bother me I'd just turn off auto-rotate. I'm not looking to speed up the animation, I want to remove or shorten the screen rotation delay. All I can find on Google is people misunderstanding this request, people saying "GOOGLE MADE IT AS A FEATURE I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM" and people saying "AOKP ROM lets you change it" Okay well, how did the creator of the AOKP ROM do that? What file needs to be changed to modify screen rotation delay?
Thanks.
P.S: I'm not an idiot when it comes to modifying Android, I'm hardly versed in it, but I'm confident with what I do. I'm not some random idiot.

you need to change framework parameters. you can either change the SETTLE_TIME_MS= in the framework (see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24869) and compile the rom from source,
or try to decompile framework and change with the method in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413304 which may work for ics.
both are somewhat time consuming to do though... so people would rather recommend you flash an aokp rom.

Well I'm not too keen on compiling a whole rom lol so I tried the framework.jar edit. I followed the directions exactly and when I rebooted I got the "Android Optimizing" like it does after an OTA and... No change.
Is the feature a default AOKP thing? Cause if it is I may have to check out the Uniporn rom.

In the unicorn Rom control setting at the bottom of general ui is rotation delay. I don't recall if cm9 has same option

Thanks for the help guys, looks like I'll be flashing UNiPoRN. Hopefully I'll be able to MMS with that rom as well.

Put these as your settings it'll work great! (Password is: CINGULAR1)

De-Bloat list for stock rom

I don't know if there is a thread already for this. Can anyone list the apps and bloatware that are safe to freeze using titanium backup on the stock rom...
Sent from my Land Line using xda premium

Download Scott's clean Rom, much easier then doing it yourself. Completely stock, debloated, tweaked, and nice mods if you want them.

Thank you

Additional debloat!
A helpful tool I use to clear up space and make the system faster is an app called "DiskView", downloadable free from Play Store. It analyzes all partitions and lists directories/files and a percentage bar of how much space they're taking. With this I found a bunch of instructional how-to videos in the system/media/video/GuidedTour folder. Also, taking up some space are the hidden Voice Recognition language packs under /system/VODB. Delete all the language code folders you don't want. Also, this using like 10MB but also a privacy concern, there was a face recognition database under /system/lib. If you don't use the preloaded Swype keyboard, even after you uninstalled it, there's an extra database under /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so. Delete.
If you have a Galaxy Note, it might be worth noting that the S Note templates that you could never seem to delete can now be removed permanently. They actually use up a lot of space. First, delete the templates from your usual S Note folder on your SD card, obviously. Then navigate to /system/preload and /system/preloaddata and delete everything related to S Note in there. For me there was nothing other than S Note stuff. Should be the templates in one and a database in the other. Once you reboot, they'll never come back!
Enjoy!
<<< Please say thanks if I was of help! I am new to XDA! :good:

[APP] Hotstrings - NEEDS testers or should I continue making this?

OK so this is a sort of experimental app that needs some testers. It's not in play yet but the apk is attached to the bottom of the OP. I'm just curious how many people would find something like this useful and wonder if I should carry on making it or just abandon it. Basically the app works as a sort of shortcut for frequently typed phrases or whatever that you may constantly type out that you may not want to. So you create a keyword and a string of text associated with that keyword. You can now cycle through keywords via the widget or the app itself and click on the keyword and have the associated text copied to clipboard for easy pasting wherever you may want
widget usage:
- Click left/right arrows to cycle database
- Click keyword/string to copy to clipboard

Would you mind explaining it a little better?

I didn't get it. What exactly does it do?

That link will give you an idea of what they are. I think what needs to happen for this to be worthwhile is a needs a custom kb to work with since you are unable to interact with these keywords in other apps(hence the clipboard). With a keyboard I could have a keyword for a really long bit of a text and I just type the keyword out and it will autoreplace with the associating string saving you time.

Basically, you create short texts that expand to the full phrase/sentence you like. The only similar app I found was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agileapps.autocorrecteditor&feature=search_result which has fairly negative reviews and still has 500-1000 downloads. I expect this is about the size of audience the hotstrings app would get, perhaps slightly more if it is rated more positively.

Hi I know this is old but I'm looking for something like this! I had this option on my iPhone way back when, it's the only thing I miss about it. I use the Swype keyboard so I don't know if that will conflict with your app but it's worth a shot! The link seems to be down, is there any way I could get this apk to try out?

FastSms - v1.2 ALPHA
Hi guys, i'm here to show you my first app "FastSms" which aims to be the fastest sms-sender app. But i need your help in testing. I'm not an expert so, if someone find a way to help me, i would apprecciate a lot. Actually the app is avaible in italian and (partially) English. Everyone's help is welcome, but for that reason if some italian guys can take a look here it would be very nice and helpful (i hope).
FEATURES:
- Lightweight
- Fast
- Material Designed
- Multi Window support (Samsung, LG and other)
Here, some screenshots took from my SGT S2 8.0:

Is it in English?

yes, but partially. I have writed some text in the java files in italian to test the app on my friend's phone, so those text will be italian. However, i'm planning to extract string resources from the java code to make it fully translated in various languages. For now i'm focusing on user experience and i wish to know if it is working for most phones. For example I've built it for Android 6 as target version but on my sgs2 plus with CM 13 the app crashs at start, so i need to understand why this happens. So i need testers wich run KitKat or Higher. Thank you very much

Thanks but does it support MMS ?
Just install for me too it crash under cm13... So no way to test...

Understood...so there's a problem with Marshmallow. I' trying to figure it out. As far as i tested this version, it works with all versions of Kitkat and Lollipop with almost no apparently problem. To answer your question, no. For now the app supports only Sms as the idea was to make it as lighter as possible. But this is a feature that will be implemented if i make the app stable and working for all with no crashes so don't need to worry about it
