Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on some roms have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops or whatnot
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, bes sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

will this allow me to switch between ROMs, like a ROM manager?
No. It creates multiple installs of your base rom. There is an app called boot manager, but it will never support the fire...

Ah. Was hoping it was like Boot Manager. Damn.
Switchme seems to work as desired. I'm the only one using my fire tho so there isn't much need for it. Come to to think of it, it would keep people out of my account when its being passed around at my buddies house lol.
Why do you say boot manager will never have support on the kindle fire?
Considering their progress over the last year and a half - 6! new devices - it will take forever.
SwitchMe 1.2 has been rolled out and now includes a lockscreen replacement:
1.2
Added lock screen for logging in and out
More stable Fast switch implementation
Reworked UI colors
Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!
1.2.2 - HOTFIX 2
Reworked widget on qHD+ displays
Fixed widget text on HC and ICS
Fast switch improved on older devices

I have a few ideas that should put this app to good use I've been meaning play with it for a while now. Going to be kinda busy during the week but I'll try to post any questions/issues if I come across any. If I don't get to it during the week, I will defiantly spend some time using it on the weekend
Thanks, i look forward to some feedback - for a developer good feedback in forums is much better than "doesnt work - 1 star" type reviews on the market.
1.4.3.7
Fixed device specific switch screen crashes and issues
Fixed UI bug in switch screen preferences
If anyohe had problems with superuser before, this should fix them. Please let me know if that is the case, its important we get some feedback here!
Anything to report regarding yesterday's release?
I couldn't get wifi to connect last week (only time i had to try it) I'll give it another go tonight. I did have a question about storage, if i have a game installed on my main profile and install it on a second profile, is the apk then located in 2 locations? The kindle fire is very limited on storage with no option of expandable storage

Hello, I just came across this thread and had to say something, I love your Switchme app. Me and my wife both use my fire and it was driving me crazy not being able to customize it how I wanted. Then I found your app in the market and was ecstatic to try it. It worked like a dream! Your latest update just added that little touch that made it sol worth it. Thank you so much for this function and smooth integration.

Anything at all? How is the lockscreen working?

Do you have to buy the key to enable the lockscreen?
Yes, all security settings are available in the paid version. I guess im only asking for the opinions of those who bought the app...
the app takes way too switch back to an admin account (about 30 mins)
and randomly switches and soft-boots on any account
also is there any way to buy other than the android market
I have got it setup with 3 accounts, myself and my two kids. Works like a charm. Got the lockscreen enabled and there is a small disapointment. When booting the device it first shows the regular lockscreen, long enough to enter the system, and then the switchme lockscreen kicks in.
What i would realy love would be pictures with the account switch, both for lockscreen and widget.
The fast switching option scared me a bit. The display just goes black for a while, de pending on profile size. Is it in any way possible to get something going on the screen just to keep me a ease.
Regardless of the above i still find this one of the apps that make the difference......

If you want to avoid the lock screen time after reboot, enable the key guard as well and it will be shown above the key guard!

Will look into that. What else would be very usefull is if it would be possible to, even when creating a new profile, the switchme app would be injected. I wouldn't like to get stuck on a clean profile and no wifi around to install switchme.
Ofcourse i copied the apk to my microsd so i can always install it but then it is not licensed in tje new profile.

Hi guys,
after a lot of development I'm proud to present you the first version
of my Gemini Issue Tracker App.
For those who don't know it, Gemini Issue Tracker is a powerfull
project management and bug tracking tool from countersoft.
Here is a short list of the actual functionality of the app:
- Navigate through issues.
- Navigate through projects.
- Navigate through component.
- Select what you want to view after login.
- Open issues.
- Search for issues.
- Read issue description, properties, comments, watchers, time entries and history entries.
The App is still work in progress,future releases will allow users to add comments, log time entries and change the status/assignment etc of the issues.
I hope the App is usefull for anyone who uses the issue tracker.

Nice
did you try it out? Any comment would be appreciated...
Hey m0rph3us, just found the app on the market this morning and a bit of googling led me here. First off, thanks for making the app - it could be really useful for me. My initial comments (only had a brief look, strictly speaking I'm off work this week so shouldn't be logging in to Gemini at all!):
- only a small thing, but I'm used to typing my Gemini URL without the http at the beginning (I was putting an example here, but the noob/spam filter won't let me ) - the login kept failing, until I remembered to put the this in. As I said, not a biggie (and could also be described as user error ).
- I like the way you've laid things out and the general UI, one addition I would suggest would be an ever-present search box - I use the search a lot on the full site, and will likely be the same in the app.
A couple of additions I'd personally like would be:
- Include issue creation date when viewing search results, and also in the general tab when viewing the issue
- It would be nice to be able to have an option for the default view when logging in - at the moment it defaults to My Work, my preference would be Projects, and others would probably say something different again...
- The addition of a tab for attachments when viewing an issue would be nice too.
Overall, for a first release I have to say I like your work - all the basics are there and seem to work fine, so thanks again! You should approach Countersoft with it

This is a new app I have written for Android that allows you to schedule uploads or downloads from your Dropbox.
For e.g. you can back up data from your device, or you can download a new playlist onto your device every morning. There are so many possibilities. Transfering data to/from your device has become so much easier.
Uses:
You create folder-pairs on your remote dropbox and your device. An upload or download is triggered at the pre-set time. In this way you can upload photos every night, or download music every morning. Or replicate your documents across all your devices.
You could set it up (with your credentials) on some one elses device to push files or updates, or retrieve data/photos etc, so it can be used for sharing common data.
The app does not do two-way syncing (which takes up far greater resources).
Features:
Custom pipes! Direct your files to where you want to!
Scheduler
File filter - Filter which files are to be transfered
Power aware - Conserves battery can run only on WiFi or when Plugged into mains
Runs in background only when needed
Notifications
Integration
Dropbox browser with Folder upload/download capabilities
Bug Reporting:
Please report sensibly with as much information as you can.
Layout issues: Please report the device name and also a screenshot if possible.
Force closes and crashes: Please report the logs and stacktrace as well.
Errors: Please report the exact error message and steps taken that produced it.
Behavior Quirks: Please report the steps taken, and what is wrong with the behaviour.
Feature requests: I will probably implement new features after all bugs are squashed, but I would like to hear your ideas.
Distrubtion and Marketing: Help for Play Store. Suggestions for better description and Search optimisation.
Please report and issues and suggestions to [email protected]
Disclaimer:
Please make sure you have a backup of any important data you cannot afford to lose.
This app requires a Dropbox account. Get it HERE
The apps
DOWNLOAD the app here
DOWNLOAD the eXTenDeD version here
Plugins to the app:
PhoneBackup:
Its a cool tool that can backup your SMS, Contacts and Call Logs. The good thing is that it backs it up as a CSV file. That way you can just open it and see all your contacts. What is every way more cooler, is that you can edit the CSV file and restore the edited data back to the phone. It is really useful, do have a look at it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maximussoft.backup
Tasker Plugin:
You need Tasker and Cloudpipes both to use it. It allows you a greater control over when you want to run your pipes. Users of tasker will already know what to do with it!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maximussoft.cptaskerplugin
And also read about the app here: http://cloudpipes.wordpress.com
Thank you for your help and support!!!
Made some new updates:
Allow Dropbox browsing even when transfers are running
Fixed some typos and messages
Many UI enhancements, new icons!
Loving this app so far.
Well done.
Wait. I can upload music on it? I mean choose the whole album and not just a song and upload it?

Yes, you can choose a whole album. The app supports folders and sub-folders.
In fact, even if all your songs are in the same folder, you can use the file filter to filter out your music (for e.g. a filter with "Linkin*Park*.mp3")
Yesterday I fixed a few more issues I was having with 'spaces' in folder names.
Let me know if you find any more issues!
Changelog:
Ver 0.9.3 (07/07/12)
- Fix force close on login with special characters
- Fix force close on upload folder names with special characters
- Fix force close on empty folder uploads
- Fix for saving pipes
- Fix for last run information
Password security??
I posted this comment over at AndroidAuthority
This app creator had Zero other apps in the Play Store, and the webpage has no other information about the creator(s).
I previously used DropSpace, but it had become unreliable.
This app looks fantastic, exactly what I want (one-way sync), but how can I trust this person with my DropBox username and password???

I just found this thread today, so I guess one answer is "s/he is on XDA", which lends a huge amount of credibility IMHO.
Although, before this thread, the OP has only posted twice in the last year, so not exactly the most active Dev.
Is there anything else that can assuage my concerns?
I saw one of the Play Store comments mentioned "What, no OAuth??" Is this a concern?
Seriously, this app looks like almost EXACTLY what I've been hoping for. If it works, I will gladly buy a Pro version to support the Dev as soon as it's available.

Hi ScottHW,
I think I replied to your post on the Dropbox forums too. As you can see we both joined XDA one month apart, and have similar number of posts and thanks!
Anyway, the reason for not posting is that when I initially got an Android phone I started to get into modding etc so I would come to XDA for that kind of stuff. However, when I began serious development I started visiting app dev forums; thus the inactivity on XDA.
Here is my thread on my home forum: http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/test-my-app/18970-cloudpipes-beta-testers-required.html
More than 1000 posts in one year!
I use an IDE called Basic4Android to develop my app which is super cool and easy: http://www.basic4ppc.com/index.html
Back to your concerns. This is my first app and I have learnt a lot. I might make mistakes and would happy to correct them when people point them out, but I would not knowingly steal your passwords or data and try to keep them safe.
So what are your concerns and how can I make you feel more comfortable?
Regarding this comment:
"What, no OAuth??"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Dropbox API requires to use OAuth 1.0.
See here and here.
Therefore that comment is technically inaccurate. However, since API ver 1, Dropbox requires users to login via either the official Dropbox app or a Web Browser (and then return to the app). While this increases security in that you do not need to provide your username/password to my app (I can still access all your data once you grant permission), some people find it annoying and an unnecessary step (i.e. to leave the app to authenticate and then return back).
Either way, I plan to implement both authentication methods so this may ease your concerns too.
There will be a Pro version soon with many more added features. However first I need to iron out all bugs, and so far it is looking reasonably stable.
Looks cool, I will check it out...I can't complain with over 100GB of FREE Dropbox space that I can finally use now
I don't know how I will use it, but I am going to check out the app

100 GB!!! Was that just referrals or did you win DropQuest 2012?
This means you can back up your phone all the time! However remember that the Dropbox API restricts uploads to 150 MB per file. So uploading for e.g. nandroid backups > 150 MB, or uploading large movies will fail and you may have to use the Desktop client (I dont know if the Web interface allows more than 300 MB) or a file splitter.
You can potentially put your whole music collection on Dropbox and download the albums you want only.
Let me know how you use it and if you find it useful.

I now have implemented Dropbox Authentication through the Official Dropbox app/site, so you do not need to enter your username/password in my app anymore. This should be more secure than before.
awesome, just waht i was looking for
A new version now uploaded. I hope this is crash free, I have fixed all stability issues and reported crashes!
Changelog:
Ver 0.9.8 (22/07/12)
- App now starts on boot so pipes are scheduled even on reboot
- Fixed crashes when transfers fail or are re-tried. Transfers are now retried 5 times before they fail.
Your software is great! I restate my intention to buy a Pro version as soon as it's available. Thanks for responding so rapidly by implementing alternate authentication methods.
I have several suggestions, I hope XDA is an appropriate venue for conversing.
Right away, I would request you implement Revision checking for uploading. I know that DropSpace had this capability, so it must be present in the DropBox API, even the older versions.
If I have 350 pics in my DCIM folder, and I to back them up to DropBox, which already has copies of the oldest 320, there's no need for me to re-upload all 350. It's a huge waste of bandwidth and time.
Maybe I'm using the wrong technical terms here, but that's the general idea. I'd say it's essential to an app like CloudPipes.
More suggestions to come, keep up the great work!
Hi ScottHW,
Thanks for considering using the app.
I have many suggestions coming in and they are all in the pipeline. Once I get all of the essentials, then I will move on to a Pro version.
As you said, revision checking is essential. This is my current priority and hopefully I will get an update out soon.

Awesome work on this app. Cloudpipes is the absolute best. Saves me countless hours and time with my Nexus 7 and the lack of external SD. I can now flash at will without ever worrying about losing data.
I would like to second the revision checking functionality. would be an awesome addition. I look forward to seeing it in a future release. I would like to add one more thing I would like to see as well. I would like the ability to exclude certian files and folders via checkbox or similar mechanism (default for new folders and files would always be on of course). But this would be extremely helpful because I do not need to backup the small directories here and there that apps automatically create (i have Titanium backup for apps & their data). While I can use the file size filter to make sure 1-2gb movies are not synced, there is no way (at least that I know of) to easily eliminate some of these smaller directories that are just causing clutter in my dropbox. I would like cloudpipes to work strictly for the data I have on my storage that I need.
Lastly I would like to see the current status of the transfer, eta at current speed, current transfer rate, all from the transfers tab of the app. I know there is a percent bar in the notification window, but I would like to see more info in app.
Otherwise awesome app... absolutely loving it and really stable, zero crashes. Would gladly pay for a PRO version!!!
edit: One small bug I just noticed. Well not really a bug but more a necessary feature improvement is the ability to refresh your main dropbox directory. I changed the name of my backup folder from "test" to something more appropriate and it seems the main window is not refreshing the dropbox and loading the new folder name.

Otherwise awesome app... absolutely loving it and really stable, zero crashes. Would gladly pay for a PRO version!!!
edit: One small bug I just noticed. Well not really a bug but more a necessary feature improvement is the ability to refresh your main dropbox directory. I changed the name of my backup folder from "test" to something more appropriate and it seems the main window is not refreshing the dropbox and loading the new folder name.

Revision checking is coming. Its a bit more complicated that I initially thought so it will be a major update, however it will be very useful to conserving bandwidth.
Regarding exclusion, I will have to think how this will work. While the back-end implementation should not be hard, I dont know how I will ask the user to exclude folders in the UI and then store them. Nevertheless I have added it to my things to do (and it is growing!!!)
Regarding more information in the transfers tab, this is a definitely planned feature. It is quite bland and devoid of useful info right now and I plan to add many things to it. Again, this is a little far behind on my todo list as essential functionality is added first.
Finally, this bug/improvement, this is a tough one. Since you renamed it from the website or desktop app those changes are not propagate to the app until you hit refresh on that particular folder. The Dropbox API does not support to notify the app of the change and also frowns upon repeated (automated) refreshes. I could set a time-out after which to refresh the file structure, but still that will not propagate the change immediately. I dont see a better solution for this apart from the user refreshing that folder as they know they have changed it. However it seems that the official dropbox app detects this change immediately so they are polling again for the change hmmm...

Regarding this point, your update that you just pushed looks like it now includes a menu and a refresh button when viewing the dropbox. Maybe i am just dumb and missed it before. But I see it now and it fixes this!! Thanks if you did in fact add it!!

It was always there You might have missed it. Note that the menu contents and the button in the action bar change depending on which tab(Pipes/Dropbox/Transfers) you are on.
Sorry for taking so long on this update, but I wanted to make sure everything was working okay.
I have released a major update, it will take a couple of hours to ripple through the Play store.
This now includes revision checking, so only files that have been modified locally or remotely are re-transfered. If the app does not detect any change in the files then it will not be transfered.
Also just in case the Settings menu now has a trouble shooting section, with an option to 'Clear sync data'. If the app starts to mess up the transfers then you can use this option to reset the sync data, so it will start afresh.
This time I have focused quite a lot on testing, and tried to remove all weird and obscure bugs. There were many reports of the files not being accessible, probably because either the sdcard was unmounted, connected to USB or wasnt ready at boot. I tried to fix more of these cases.
There were also some minor UI tweaks here and there.
The OneWaySync option is not yet enabled. I have to do some more work on it, but should not be long.

Changelog:

- Fixes for conflicts in Lollipop
- Pocketsphinx optimization
5.3:
- bug and crash fixes

WHAT'S DIFFERENT IN THE DONATE VERSION
Hi, my name is Ryan Senanayake and I'm a Junior still in high school. As the amount of time I have spent on this project grows to more than 1000 hours, I need to better justify the time I spend on development. The Free version will in no way be hobbled and will continue to receive bug fixes + performance/battery improvements, but from now on, new features will be added to the Donate version. It will only cost $2 and if you are not able to spend this, just shoot me an email and I'll send you one for free.
Great app! I'm surprised it was suspended

Great app! Currently testing on my GT-I9300. Screen-off mode works like a charm, don't really need to worry about power consumption because of my extended battery haha.
Is it possible to keep the lockscreen while in screen off mode?
Nice! but could you provide an option to switch it off too? Since this affects the battery, I'd like to run this just when I'm in my car and then switch it off after I reach my destination.
Thanks
Works good on galaxy s4 but screen mode off doesn't unlock screen when activated. I hear it in background but lock screen stays locked...

Unfortunately no, it seems that Google Now only works if the lockscreen is deactivated. But what I'm trying to do is only allow the user to use Google Now above the lockscreen and have to still enter the password to use any other apps.

The current ways to do this are pretty sporadic as the Android apis are bad. I'm focusing on the new speech recognition as it gives me more control, but after I finish that I'll work on resolving this issue.
Looks awesome. Trying to download it, but every time I hit the download link it goes to a blank white screen.

Yeah sorry about that. You can download it on your computer, but not on your phone... Hey I'm an Android dev, not a web dev I know what I did wrong, I'll fix it tonight.
Ok downloads working now, sorry about that
Wow google will kick your ass
Thanks for this app,I'll give a try
When I have it enabled, it beeps randomly in the background all day long, without being actually "activated" or popping up with the Google Now interface.
This is with the hotword detection on, but with swipe-to-activate OFF

Thanks, this issue is because Google speech recognition doesn't natively support continuous recognition. I have to start it every few seconds. As there is no way to turn off the beep sound, I have to use a dirty hack of silencing the system audio and turning it back on. Sometimes the timing is off and the beep gets through anyways. This problem and many more will go away once I implement my own speech recognition
Website updated with real-time download counter. (I know should be working on updates, but I'm really new to doing low-level sound processing so I needed a break) We're at 46,812, let's try to get that # over 50,000!
Tried this on moto razr jb 4.1.2. It works but if the screen of option is turned on, sometimes I cant get my screen on and has to reboot.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I'm pretty sure that any issue like that is an issue with the kernel and not with the app. I'm pretty sure an app doesn't have the ability to cause a problem that big (unless it's a root app). Is your phone rooted? If so what kernel?
Good idea, didn't seem to work on my Samsung Galaxy 3 AT&T with MIUI. (Yes I enabled the screen off options and such ) No worries though I don't plan on needing/using this I need every little bit of battery I can savor haha.

Yes I understand that. my phone is rooted, its stock rom and stock kernel...doesnt have any mods in kernel. Never had such issue before and 5 minutes after enabling the screen off option it stuck...I cant turned it on. Maybe I should give it one more shot and report back...

Thank you!
Thank you! I have been looking for a habit tracker app that I like for literally years. This is the first one that has all the features I want, with great looking charts and graphs! Thanks so much!
Application that i waiting for
Wow! I will try this app!
Thx for creating this great apps.
Neat I like the UI :good:
Great app! here is some suggestions:
1- Please add "custom starting week date" option. I live in Iran and our weeks starts on Saturday.
2- Add workdays option in new habit menu. some habits only doable in worktime!
3- The Dark theme
4- Add custom colors for each habit.(random or selectable) like "google keep" app
5- In graphs you can add "from beginning" in time period selections.
this app has an fantastic idea and very good looking ui
(sorry for my english)
Thanks,its been quite a work to get it looking right.
@scoderx0e
Really coolish app, mate, keep your great work. :good:
Dark theme & ability to set week starting day would be nice.

One more suggestion - ability to turn off the vibrations in reminder, I really don't like when my phone vibrates ...

Even I made "Habbits" out of need
one more...
some habbits needs to be practice more then once a day!!
maybe you can find a way to add it into the GUI - which is real sweat...
Very cool thinking man - polished concept, maybe one day google will integrate it into "Google Keep" / Calander
really good start..
any plan for open sourcing..?
@eliranh - I will surely make space for these kind of habits,but my primary aim right now is to get everything in a stable state.
@ewoks - I haven't thought about open sourcing yet,but I will if there is a need to or if I am not able to maintain the app anymore myself.
Great app, thank you!
I have one suggestion and one occurrence:
- less space between the date and the name of the day would be more readable, especially if you have a lot of 'habits'.
- clicking on a day to mark it blue/red/green causes delays. Sometimes of several seconds. I don't think that it is my device, but rather the writing process into the database?!
My device is a Wiki Cink Peax 2 (Quadcore Mediatek CPU, 1 GB RAM, JB 4.1.2).
Thanks & Cheers!
Yes the delays are because of database,I am working on ways of postponing the writing process until the activity has entered onPause().That way it will be more responsive.
The app is working quite well for me so far. Well done. I'll certainly rate it and write a review after using it for a month.

Update is out in the play store. App works now much smoother, but still has some lags and input delays.
Good idea to drag and drop habits.
