Hello Guys,
Today I want to present you my first developed game for Android and I want to say hello to this really nice community.
I want to tell you how it operates.
At first it checks that Bluetooth is available.
Then it reads the user data of the found devices.
Then the discovery process starts and it searches for devices.
When it finds one, it will be added to the list of founded devices, so that it will not beeing marked as a new device when finding it again.
Then the data will be uploaded to the central ranking server and the script will return the current ranking of your device and the number of devices, that have a rank.
There is also a level system. You have to find a set number of devices to get into the new level. This number is shown just the same as the number of devices you have found.
With the achievement system you can unlock game features and with the settings you can personalize your game.
The scoreboard shows the complete rankings, also with a nice addition, that every user that was active in the last 5 minutes will be marked as 'Searching' (Needs an achievement to see).
Please give any critique you can.

No further development!
This game will not be developed further, but has a follow-up called Blue Hunter. To go to the development thread, please head over there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835079

Thanks for sharing!!
I still want a program that will connect to Bluetooth devices and send them up to 130 characters I think it was, like I had for my HTC Tilt. Never worked on the Tilt 2, never seen anything like it for the Nexus. Was fun to walk around in crowded places and send stuff to strangers.
This app is funny, just miss 2 things (or I didn't find them ^^)
1. Telling user the name of the access point, not only the MAC address (as you said, there's some funny ones )
2. Knowing who's next to me I know I'm 4th, but I don't know who's 3rd, nor who's 5th. I even didn't put my nickname in it, how am I suppose to go in front of my friends and say "Hey, look at that, Khoral's 1st. BLUETOOTH HEADSHOT ! MAC ADDRESS MONSTER KILL !". You know what I mean
Used for "good"
Maybee there is a way too use this information for good?
Scan services on devices and soo on to collect useful information for ... someone?
Would be excellent to have a web front end so we can see whos in the lead. Im second and want to know whos ahead of me.
Woah! nice try for a beginner! looking forward to your next apps...
Nice app, can you make the UI compatible for higher resolutions? (I have a Toshiba folio 100 tablet).

Very original, I'll try this when I'm out in public.
jup i sometimes am surprised by how many people let their phone running bt .
i live in berlin to.. you have to try it out for example in the o2 arena.. ( op knows waht i mean) you are going to rank up pretty fast
Haha, nice to see your answers.
Like i said, it can be very funny to scan only to be the number 1 xD
Today I was in the metro and got 100 devices.
I will add the scoreboard as soon as I can !
Would it be ok, if the name you use as Bluetooth name will be used for the scoreboard ?
@Khoral:
It is surely a bit difficult to show the name immediately after a device was found, because the names will only be researched after a finished Scan. So I have to cancel the Scan after a new device was found, research the name of the device, show a toast with the name and then start the scan again to find a new device.
But I'm sure, that I will make it. ^^
Until the new version, i wish you much fun.
cool game. can't wait to play some
The game sounds interesting! Had to go and turn my other BT devices just for this .
Was wondering.. if it doesn't already, can you make it run on the backround? So I wouldn't have to be manually turning it on every time I want it to register devices. I guess it's not the point of this game, but I'd just be interested in how many BT devices I run into on my way to work and back.
hmmm does it upload the information about the device, location, where it is? etc etc to ur website?
This does need a leader board though
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
This is aweaome, downloaded it this morning and I'm already 4th, I hope to be 2nd at the end of the day,
We need to create a thread on the peoples scores on this app while an actual leader board gets created
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Hey !
Just published my app today.
PocketSound it's all about cool sounds and phrases.
Six big categories with a variety of different sounds and phrases.
Well-known " i'll be back " , famous Kenny speech, random " Bang! , Boom!, WheeeWheeee!" , some Sexy Sounds and much more ... That's all inside !
Use the Pocket Sound to simulation some usuall sounds.Or wake the nature sounds of sirens, or cool down the town atmosphere with wind and rain. Or paste the appropriate sentence from famous film or cartoon in a conversation, using a prepared set of favorite sounds or turn on accidentally for more fun !
So, it is possible to assign a sound or phrase to an alarm clock, send it by MMS, to assign anyone of your contact list !
Surprise your friends, playing them or remember them, along with a few well-known phrases that will never become old!
Thanks for attention!

could you attach an apk for those of us who don't have access to the play store?thanks
Great, I like apps like yours. But I have some problems with a too small popups.
Nexus 7 2013, @ 260 dpi (yes, the custom dpi settings might be the problem).

Here u go
http://storage2.evozi.com/apk/dl/14...seq.apk?h=iL_D1nydYU03a-0XOXseIA&t=1394380019
a) The apk link has expired.
b) The ad windows is huge.
It's beutiful indeed.
great idea!!
But the UI is WAY to small.. not usable on my Nexus5 or Nexus7..
Damn, this seems like it could be awesome!
But it seems kinda buggy, and small.
I can't simply tap to enable a sound, it seems to have a mind of it's own...
Sometimes it will select.. sometimes it wont..
Hmm, Looks promising though! Nice work so far.
Looking forward to updates. thanks
A lot of polishing needs to be done, some of the controls need to be changed and the buttons need to be biger

Hello!
Our Yalos development team is currently working on a small but very useful App called „Dog Advisor“
You can find it here: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advisor.advisor.advisor
Current version: 1.1.4
Supported Android versions: 4.0.3 or higher
Supported languages: English, Russian
Category: Entertainment
App type: shareware
It's a combination of a useful reminder tool that helps you to control such important events like missed phone calls or unnoticed sms-messages with a funny Dog buddy that lives in your smartphone and entertains you like a kind of digital pet. Most of the time the Dog remains invisible but as soon as one of the events happens, it appears on the screen and reminds you about the missed event with a funny cartoon style animation. Besides that the dog can entertain the user by different animated scenes on the smartphone screen like sleeping, eating, reading a newspaper or doing sport exercises. All together it creates the impression of a friend that moved into your smartphone.
The App has many settings that allow to define all notification and entertainment functions according to the requirements of each single user. If necessary, you can disable the sound effects and the dog will remind about the events with a closed mouth. You can also set up a “quiet time” - a time interval when the Dog works only in a silent mode. This is especially important for the night time or weekends. If you don't want to see the dog on the screen, you can simply wipe it away with your finger. If you press the dog, it will show you the screen referring to the current notification type (calls list, messages, calendar or alarm clock menu)
Currently supported events are:
missed phone calls
unread sms-messages
calendar events
built-in alarm clock
We are constantly working on new features and would like to hear some new impressions about our app. In future we plan to develop the Advisor into a big assistant app that will help with many different functions, we also want to create new characters to chose from. Sadly it's impossible to work on all appearing ideas at the same time so maybe you will also share your thoughts on the features that you feel are extremely missing now?
The app is shareware but the 14-days trial version has no functional limitations and works exactly like the full version which can be purchased after the trial period.
We are looking forward to your comments, ideas or maybe critical remarks about our app! Thanks!
