[APP] WIP MediaMonkey for Android

----Announcement----
Ok, so first the disappointing news, of course as soon as I started planning this application I got swamped by schoolwork and regular work, so there is actually very little done on the project. I still have a lot to learn about Android development itself. So I wholeheartedly apologize if I got anyone's hopes up, etc. I got in way too far over my head and while I don't plan on not doing this it is certainly not going to be done anytime soon. This summer I plan on at least getting some alpha stuff working but then in the fall I'll be starting my first year at the University of Guelph for Software Engineering so we'll see how much I get done. Again I'm deeply sorry if I mislead anyone in my abilities, or the progress of this application
----Overview----
Hey all, I don't know how many of you know about the amazing Windows media player known as MediaMonkey or the variety of features it has (Auto-organize, Tag from web, DLNA support, etc) but thats besides the point. I feel that the one thing this amazing program lacks is a mobile app to go along with it, so with the release of MM4 looming (You can grab the beta here) I've decided that I will develop just such an app. Official support has been given to this project by the MediaMonkey developers and more than enough people have expressed interest in this project so I'm going ahead and starting development! Right now only support for music is planned though video may come eventually as well!
----Planned Features----
MM.db sync and merge
Non-native codec support (Ogg, Flac, Ape)
Basic library managment (Tag with Amazon.com search, media scanner to load non-native codecs)
DLNA control point for MM4
DLNA renderer for MM4
Lockscreen widget with swipe controls
Companion MM4 plugin to handle syncing
Skin support

I for one would be interested. For those who don't know MM, its a program similar to itunes but with way better usability. It syncs great with ipods too!

MM is the best !!
+1 for me too

+1 for mediamonkey. It's my media player of choice

Well looks like theres definitely some interest here (and on the MediaMonkey forums) and I have support from Peke one of MediaMonkey's developers so this is going ahead. Though I will say development might be a little slow, I have Java experience but I'm still learning programming in general and I've never worked with the Android SDK not to mention I've got school however I'll try to get this up and running asap

Definately, Wish Mediamonkey would work on my mac

Don't know how you can live without it lol specially auto-organize with the file monitor (love dropping an album of unorganized songs into my music folder and suddenly its in my proper folder structure with the right filenames)

Oh also the project basically means that if I can pull it off correctly android users will finally get proper sync support without having to fiddle with the USB_MassStorage.DLL anymore

WP7 Lock app ... FREE

Hey guys ,
As most of you know , I work with the WP7 Android group . We are a group dedicated to bringing the WP7 ui to Android . I am hoping mods do not shut me down for *advertising* , but this is the only way we can do it and have it still be beneficial to us . This is 100% free , and should not be in violation of any XDA policies . If I am mistaken mods , let me know how i can fix it before locking me down .
A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone that took place in our promotion , but after 500 emails in just over 24hrs ... its time to go to the market .
Search WP7Lock .

Want to give it a try.

I understand that you guys want to make money and are working very hard and I appreciate that but some people (myself included) don't have any convenient way of buying things online. No credit or debit card, no PayPal, no Google checkout, etc.
I think it would help to release some of your more basic things like the lockscreen and contacts and stuff for free, full-featured, then release the more complicated stuff like launcher and music player for a price. It would bump your sales and encourage people to try your stuff more if we didn't have to jump through hoops to get a half-working version of it.
as in, you should post the apk without any features disabled on here. Easy to get and then it will attract more people than making them go sign up for something and take screenshots and emails and whatnot and still only get part of the app.
Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500

My thoughts are similar; your project is unique (think about it, there is literally no other wp7 lockscreen for android that's been widely distributed before, same with most of the rest of your apps). If you were to release the full version for free, it would undoubtedly get more downloads, generate some goodwill and get your project coverage on sites like engadget, gizmodo, droid life, etc. through user submitted tips. You wouldn't need to skew peoples incentive to send their thoughts to engadget about the project to get this stripped down and un-updatable version because a free fully featured release would create a bigger buzz, and leave both sides in a better situation.

Looks nice. Email sent.

I understand your guys thoughts about the market. And its coming. Our current purchase system is chaos, and I recognize that. When this first started, we didn't have devs in the us that Google aloud to post in the market. Its not because we didn't want to. Now that we can, we are. Its just taking extra time. This lock will be free in the market as well as the full version. We just wanted to try this for about a week. Thanks for the kind feedback though. Were working very hard.

Still waiting for the .apk..!

Check your mail I'm up to date on all my emails finally ...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Just got the .apk
+ It's stylish and practical with SMS and mail count, and missed calls.
+ .apk only 61kB and once installed the app weighs only 157kB!
- 960x800 wallpaper gets crammed into 480x800 and it looks silly. Please make it so it uses the center of the wallpaper.
- if you wake the screen right after turning if off it kind of lags and shows half of the homescreen before the lockscreen falls down to it's place. Waiting 5 seconds before waking it again gives no issues at all. Purely cosmetic though.
I would easily pay 1-2€ for this if the issues are fixed in the paid version, and judging by the largely grayed out settings panel, there will be a lot of customization options available.

Still waiting for the apk! :S

Try not to post that you are waiting ;-) I'm on top of it ... there are literally hundreds of emails. But I'm pretty sure I have sent yours already. I'm pretty much caught up for now.

Very slick. I like it alot. Had few issues though. It forced closed after install on my Galaxy S, rebooting my system. No problems on my Dell Streak though.

[APP] XDA TV (Tablet Edition) v1.4

XDA TV (Tablet Edition) v1.4​
Now you can have all the XDA TV videos wherever you go using this application. At the time it's limited to tablets(since I got my Galaxy Tab last week and I wanted to play with some coding for it). I need people testing if this works and how it works on Honeycomb tablets(since I don't have one to test). If you were looking for the phone version, just click here.
I've been working on this for a week. Making the layout using HTML and CSS3 was easy, but I got a lot of problems while trying to make the code work on Android, so I took a bit more to match the code for Android. At the time I can't find another way to open up the videos without firing up the browser to redirect to the Video application, the OS has a lot of problems with HTML5 Video tag so I've done it like this.
The technologies used on this application:
PhoneGap
iScroll
jQuery
HTML5 and CSS3

Also, any suggestions, bug reports and improvements that you want to see, please post here that I'll look for it.

Sweet! Your a saint!

XOOM 3g
Works on the XOOM 3G, here are some things to consider.
1. Yes it did open in a browser window - but the program went back to the App. In order to watch the video I had to switch back to the browser.
2. The GUI is a little off..... "TV" is located between the brown bar and the video pane. The Play button w/ description could be centered in the app.... I know I am nit picking, but you asked
Good job otherwise.

Thanks for your support.

I'd suggest you remove the ad from the top if you're saying it's especially suitable for devices with small screens.
It's taking a big chunk out of my Galaxy Ace.

Or, provide a way to remove ads, for example, download a paid licence.

Yeah. Until then, guess I'll wait till it will be removed.
May be u make a 'one time click for today' ads. Means those ad will come back again tomorrow after user have pressed it once a day.
Definitely a win-win situation for me.

Interesting, let me try. :fingers-crossed:

Really small
This browser is really small , I try it just now ,very fast.

As soon as I noticed the ad right on top I uninstalled it. Lame.

Kudos for a really fast browser. Suggestions :
1. Ads should be placed at bottom. As design language says that browsing experience has to be least distracting. And our eyes while browsing gaze 60% of screen from top. So shifting ads to bottom on a slimmer bar will solve problem to some extent. If this free version really wins heart partially it will automatically pave the way for ad free premium version.
2. Please implement holo theme for menus or just design a fresh UI for yourself. But don't include gingerbread design. This makes the browser a foreign feel on ics and jb. Best option would be to go for a signature menu, design like opera or dolphin did for themselves to keep consistent over various os and creating brand impact.
All the luck with your effort.

[APP][3.0+] Flexible Unit Converter (FUC)

There are literally hundreds of unit converter apps on Google Play.
I believe FUC is the only one that uses dimensional analysis in the conversion engine to let the user build, combine, and convert an endless number of complex units.
This is my first app and I would appreciate all comments and suggestions. Thanks!

thank you, the app has been out for 2 weeks and this is the only feedback I've received. I'll take it as positive.
anyone else...?

Re: [APP][3.0+] Flexible Unit Conversion Tool (FUCT)
I just downloaded. Very good app. Well done! Sadly, while I have an Engineering degree, I mostly do only IT work these days But it looks like you have most conversions covered.
My suggestions:
1- the number pad/keyboard to add values for the conversion takes up ~75% of my tablet's screen. Not a big deal, but could be a bit smaller.
2- on the favorites page, I think it would be more intuitive to click on the row itself instead of the number on the left side.
3- It took me a while to figure out that I could click on the conversion result value and change the display options (like scientific notation threshold). Maybe have some help or indicator that keys the user know how to change these settings.
Good luck with the app!

Hey, thanks. I never tested it on a tablet, so I'm glad to hear it at least works, even if the keypad is way too big.
I'll fix the favorites as you suggest, and make the conversion result display options access more obvious.
Much appreciated.

Updated to 0.3: easier to use favorites, search function, and bug fixes.
Lots more things I could add or change, but it doesn't seem worth it since it's only getting about 1 download / day. Hopefully just needs more time.

Couldn't test it. Crashes on startup. Asus Padfone 2.

The app opens a lot faster now, which I think is important as generally converting units is something you want to be able to do as quickly as possible.

I know this is a very old thread but the author was responding so I'll ask here anyway. This is an awesome tool that I've used for years very happily. However, as of today v0.54 force closes on my A10e running Android 11 stock. I've reset cache and date with no success. I wasn't notified of an update but there you go.
I'm guessing I may be alone in using the app, but I don't know of any real alternative. I'm hoping rhe author sees this but if anyone else has any thoughts or alternative unit converters to suggest I'm open to suggestions.

I don't know what's out there. Just converting units seems a bit limited.
I've had a private app on Windows that is a calculator and knows about units.
I keep on thinking about porting it to Android
1 inch/((1 ampere/-electron charge/avogadro's number)/(18awg/atomic volume(cu)))
This tells you that an Ampere of DC current through an 18AWG cable will take 4 minutes 43 seconds to move the electrons one inch.

There are lots of calculators but there are no other flexible converters ive located. I would consider a combined cLculator/unit converter if it utilized custom units like FUC. That is the only feature i really have a use for since everything else has been done.

I found ConvertAll for Linux/Windows that may work. It's certainly not as slick as FUC, but it might be a fall back option.

It's only Windows so not what I want though...
