Train Departures..
Nice one sproxy, good find. Very handy...

Thanks,
Let me know if you have any issues.

Hi i get cant connect to server will this be the national rail end down?

Pretty sure the web site is up
Was you Internet connection ok at that moment? Could you access the site in the browser for instance?
It downloads directly from their web site so there are no other servers involved.

Very handy, thanks!

Connect to Server..
@hardm2000
It seems not to connect to the server if you select a minor station along the route between two major stations..

Hi,
Could you give an example so I can see if it is possible to fix?
I have performed the following test:
Selected Huddersfield as origin and Dewsbury as destination.
Looked up the journey and the application has downloaded Manchester Airport to Middlesbrough service and displayed the information correctly.
If you could give me an example, I will give a try.

Network Rail..
OK. There is a service that goes from London Liverpool Street to Norwich stopping at stations along the way. One of these is Diss. If you select Diss to Liverpool Street it will not connect to the Server..

Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I have fixed it and will be uploading the new version soon.

waiting for the update version with fix...also was having issue with server not connecting.
also its a brilliant little app...

Hi there,
When did you download it? I have uploaded the fixed version yesterday evening and it seems to have fixed the issue for me.
Let me know if you tried the latest and still have an issue.

A CAB or some installation instructions would be appreciated from anyone using this sucessfully.
Thanks.

Hi there,
You can unzip the files and then copy into your sd card. You can then launch the exe.
I will make a cab file later tonight.

Installation instructions are in the first post - "Unzip the file and run from your device."

Network Rail..
Hi sproxy, update works a treat. Thanks for excellent support..

advice how to add this as a quick link would be appreciated

Add app to Quicklinks.

Connect device to computer. Press 'Explore in Activesync window. Then go to the folder where you've unzipped the files. Right click on the UK Train times.exe & select 'Copy'. Then go to Windows/StartMenu/Programs folder, right click 'Paste Shortcut' & you now have a shortcut to the app in Windows Start Menu. This will allow you to add the app to your Quicklinks in Sense. Cheers!
By the way sproxy, many thanks for this useful little app.

You are welcome and thank for helping out.
I have also added a cab file (same version) and updated the original post. I still think zip file is the easier way but at least now there is an option.

Thanks for this brilliant little app sproxy, it works perfectly.
As you said in the instructions, it currently only works on direct journeys. Have you any idea, if and when this will change ? It would be great if you could put in your final destination and it will tell you where to change and the train times from there aswell.
Also, arrival times would be handy.
Thanks again for your work on this.

[APP][1.6+] 666up! 0.4.1 2012-07-06 (Android frontend for the image hoster 666kb.com)

Hi!
So, here it is, my first Android app
What does it do?
Upload images to 666kb.com
What's 666kb.com?
A very simple image hoster like picasa, yfrog and hundreds of others.
Check it out: http://666kb.com/
So why 666kb.com?
Because it's simple and basic. probably as simple, basic and bare as an image hoster ever will be.
- no login
- no html around the hosted images. (hence no spammy ads)
- hard to guess urls, and no ability to browse images, so the link is the only way to get the image
just try it out and you will see what I mean.
I have nothing to do with 666kb.com, I'm just a user, so please don't bother the maintainers of it with issues regarding the app.
And what does the app do?
have a picture, share it, select 666up!...
the image is scaled down (if >666kb) and uploaded to 666kb.com.
once done you can give it a title, copy the link to the image to the clipboard, share it with the usual android sharing facility or just leave it be.
a record of all uploaded images is saved on the phone for later use.
If you launch the app, you'll see a list of previously uploaded images.
What are the use cases?
- sharing images the easy way via gtalk or other IM services.
- sharing images via SMS/txt
where I live one usually gets about 1000 SMS per month for free, but they charge a lot for MMS. So it saves money (given the recipient has internet access on the phone)

Sounds interesting, may I have the source code?
of course you may, it's GPL'd:

Anything else
Suggestions are of course welcome. I don't make any money with this. I developed it in my free time just because I felt the need for it. Oh, and this thread is the first form of advertisement for the app.

2012-03-03: Fixed broken apk
just realized that the apk I had on the market was broken.
Reason why it was broken:
I found a typo in the strings.xml file right after I uploaded a prior version.
I corrected the typo, exported an unsigned apk, signed it and uploaded it without testing (I know! I know!).
So, what happened was:
Eclipse somehow failed to generate those R classes and just packaged the apk without them. This is why the app failed to launch :-(
I didn't notice that because I kept using the version with the typo.
Sorry guys!
This surely qualifies as an epic fail .

New Version: ICS look, nicer thumbnails and fixed some FCs
well, 0.2.1 is out.
Whats new?
Using Holo theme on ICS.
Thumbnails are now generated according to your device's screen resolution.
Which means: nicer thumbnails on hdpi (or better) devices.
Finally got rid of all those FCs that could occur if the uploads failed and the screen is turned.
have fun!

this is great! thanks a bunch!! any possibility of adding other image hosts in the future? i usually use imageshack, and i'm sure other people have their own favourites as well. either way, this really makes it a lot simpler to post images online and you did a great job making this app fast, great looking, and most importantly, functional! looking forward to future updates - it can only get better from here

is the devil the sponsor for this app?

Well, not quite the devil. I adopted the name from the website. Which got the name from the size limit for the images. iirc, it started with 256kb.com and has meanwhile evolved to 666kb.com
But I can guarantee that the only sponsor of this app is my own curiosity about making an android app and the fact, that I felt the need for such an app and there was none. So no unholy stuff going on in the source code.. I leave this to my perl programs ;-)
I also did a small batch upload script in perl which resizes the images if they are too large, uploads them and prints the urls to the console. (I'll share it if someone is interested)
Thanks for the kind words, Bloodflame. I have multiple upload-site in mind, but most of the bigger ones already have apps. so there little need for another app unless of course all existing apps are bad and better one could be done. There is one for imageshack:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codeminders.imageshackdroid
next in line is probably something to upload multiple images at once.
and I should address the issue, that the detail view is partly hidden when the device is held in a landscape position. maybe a scrollbar or a different layout for landscape.

Just released a new version
I've also transformed my second post into a version history post, please refer to this for details on changes.
I did a rather big change under the hood:
Including Android Beam support and exif based image rotation brakes compatibility with old android versions. So, I made 3 different APKs and uploaded them altogether.
One is specifically for Android 1.6.
Play store statistics say, there is exactly one install for this app on a 1.6 device.
So, if you have this app on a 1.6 device, I did about an hour of modification an testing just for you! ;-)
1.6 doesn't support the ExifInterface and it isn't available with the compatibility package. Therefore, no image rotation for you.
This also applies to Android Beam.
Another version for 2.0 to 3.2.
It is just missing the Android Beam feature.
And the last one for 4.0 and upwards.
I'm not yet sure how easy it is to maintain 3 versions of the app (even with git). So I'm not sure how the support of older devices will look like in the future. But I will try to keep this as backwards compatible as possible.

I have spent the last 3 or 4 days trying to find an generic image uploading app. Would you ever consider making a version that could post to a user configurable URL? And I guess a user configurable regex for the reply?

Perfect it's work fine
Thank you

This is not as straight forward as it may look like in the first place because uploads are done via a POST request. Normal URLs indicate a GET request.
If you are curious what's going on, have a look at this source file:
https://github.com/qorron/666up/blob/master/up666/src/org/qless/up666/ImageUploader.java#L119
starting with line: 119
But I'm sure that I can do this. The regex is no problem of course.
I'm on vacation until Sept. so please have a little patience. If it's ok for you I'll write you a massage once I have hacked together something.

POST is fine, I have a 30 odd line python script that handles upload already for me. I just need a app that can post and that shows up in androids share drop down list.

bump
How was your vacation?

It was fine, thanks!
The app is not quite ready yet.
The upload mechanism accepts parameter for the url and all the additional post fields.
But there is no GUI yet to type it all in.
I'll contact you once it works.

So.. I've done it.
desclaimer: this poat addresses people with at least some background in webscraping and regular rxpressions.
the apk attaches here is not intended to be used by normal users. it contains bugs and maybe cause the world to end, so be careful.
hello weedy2887,
please excuse the long delay. I had a terrible car accident (which I luckily survived without any harm) and needed some time to recover and manage things and stuff..
I've attached the apk below.
there are some bugs and unfinished stuff in it, so please use it with caution!
bugs:
if you press the buttons in the actionBar in the upload-screen while the upload has not yet finished you will get an empty message or the app will crash.
some
unfinished:
there are no sanity checks or error handling regarding the configurable upload-site feature.
e.g. if you enter an invalid regex or something like that, the app will crash.
there is no "reset to defaults (666kb.com)" button.
limitations:
apk is for android 4+
here is a short description on how this works:
base url:
Code:
http://666kb.com/u.php
this is where the action= attribute of the form points to.
file param
Code:
f
this is the name of the file parameter
additional param:
Code:
MAX_FILE_SIZE 681984
submit Speichern
these are other static parameters that are submitted along the file.
parameter_name<space>data<newline(enter, return,..)>
note: the last line is:
submit<space><space>Speichern<space><newline>
the paraneters are being sent in the order they are written in this string.
duplicates are possible and are not collapsed into one.
regex
Code:
(\Qhttp://666kb.com/i/\E.*?)"
this is to find the url of the uploaded image.
it has to contain exactly one capture group which designates the exact url of the image.
these are all the site dependent parameters.
it works for the 666kb.com site.
I haven't had the chance to test it with an other site because the only other site simmilar to 666kb.com I knew (777kb.com[1]) seems to be down or gone completely. so there may be some things which I have forgotten.
[1] 777kb.com was a copycat of 666kb.com with the difference: 777kb max. image size. images are deleted after there was no access for 30 days.

Hi XDA,
i want to introduce my newest app called "Trust".
An image says more than 1000 words, so have some screenshots first:
View attachment 2653772View attachment 2653773​
It currently logs the following events:
Foreground apps
Installed/deleted/replaced/restartet/cleared apps
Power connect/disconnect
Shutdowns/Boots
Screen on/off events
Lockscreen events
Loss of wifi/cell connectivity
Removed media
Calls
I'm open for suggestions if you have ideas for features.
There is a free and a pro version.
The free version shows the last 24 hours while the pro shows unlimited events.

This is brilliant! -- I've been wanting an app that would track my app installs/uninstalls/updates for quite a while. I bought the Pro version because, well, aside from the fact that I like having this kind of data, I've been a supporter of yours for a while, dark3n
One thing I'd like to see is the ability to export the data into a CSV and maybe also the ability to schedule an export.
I also notice that I can't install it on my XOOM. Do you have plans to support tablets?

CSV export is definitely possibly, i have not worked with it yet, so i will read up on that.
Regarding your XOOM, i have not knowingly put restrictions on it aside from android 2.1+. Is it possible that your XOOM runs a custom density? The market doesn't like custom densities ;-), send me an email and i will send you the files until we find a solution if it is not the density.
Thanks for supporting my work.

I run a Team EOS ICS ROM so I doubt it. I certainly don't change the resolution. I'll send you an email shortly.
Edit: I copied the APK over to my XOOM and it works just fine.

The problem was the telephony requirement, which is now optional.
CSV export is 90% done.

Just pushed v1.2.0 to the market
How long events are kept is now variable from 1 day to forever (see settings).
The menu offers an export function, which writes all database entries into a .csv file, with the following syntax:
Code:
time;ID;type;extra;description
1339799055212;180;24;"";"Restored wifi connection"

The CSV update works great, thank you! And adding unlimited storage is a nice benefit. I like to track things that happen on my phone and this gives me the opportunity to track pretty much everything in one place.
I think maybe the epoch on the date stamp doesn't match what Excel and the other spreadsheet programs use (including Google' spreadsheet format). I"m not sure what your time base is but would it be possible to export it as something that the spreadsheets recognize?

Excel date/time is (currentTimeMillis() / 86400000) + 25569. I can always apply that correction myself but for an export to CSV, IMHO, it makes sense for you to convert to that format before writing the data.
EDIT: Excel uses a format called a "serial date" -- ddd.ttt where ddd is the number of days since January 0, 1900 (yes, January ZERO -- ddd = 1 is January 1, 1900) and ttt is the percentage of a day that has passed. Since the Android base is UTC, one must adjust for your local timezone In California we're on DST right now so we're -7 hours from UTC which means we subtract 7/24 from that value or approximately -0.29166667.

An update is going up in a few minutes.
I fixed the notification not being removed when the service is stopped and added another column to the exported file containing the fully formatted date.
Looks something like this:
Code:
time;ID;type;extra;description;formateddate
1340110467055;1;1;"1.2.1(6)";"Log recording started.";"19.Jun.2012 14:54:27"

Uhhh ... ahhh .... ahem, I appreciate the update but is there any chance you could replace the formatted date with the serial date? I REALLY don't wanna be a pain about this but, see, I'd like to be able to sort in various ways and if the date is already formatted, it's not so easy to use as a sort column in Excel and various other spreadsheets. I suppose I should've been more direct and succinct in what I was asking for and I apologize for that. The Excel serial date format is really what I'd prefer. With the two date fields as they are I have to manipulate one or the other of them to make it usable for me. I can understand if you don't want to replace the current formatted date field and I certainly don't want you to add another date field.
If, by chance, you decide to make a change, since most spreadsheets will display the full text of the last column without requiring any interaction from the user, I'd suggest putting the two date fields together at the beginning of the exported data and leave the description as the last field.

Haha, well maybe in the next update .

Can you post me a link of your desired conversion?
I have googled a bit, but could not find something i liked.
Edit:
I published 1.2.3 just now, as there was a bug i wanted fixed.
Changelog:
Code:
v1.2.3
- Fixed possibly FC on DetailsDialog when resuming app
- Changed export format once more (date;time;timestamp;ID;type;extra;description)

Thanks for the update! Sorry I missed your earlier message. The formula is listed in my post but I'll see if I can find the web page I got it from. Really, all that needs to be done is to take the value returned from currentTimeMillis(), divide it by 86,400,000 and add 25,569 to get UTC. In other words
Code:
(currentTimeMillis() / 86400000) + 25569
Ah, found it! Here's the URL. Note that I applied the formula to your column labelled "timestamp" and it converts it to a date/time value that Excel recognizes. I guess you don't do much with spreadsheets, huh?
Edit: forgot to include the URL http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datetime.htm

Thanks to a very helpful user, i just uploaded 1.2.4 containing an italian translation.

any chance for an option to toggle between showing 'hours ago' and a time stamp right in the app?

[4.0+] HoloIRC - an IRC app [2.5.6] [Stable]

Hey everyone. This is my first real app for Android which I've been working on and off on for quite a while now. It's called HoloiRC and it's a lightweight IRC client. Since I will have some time over the next few weeks, I can put some effort into it and really bring it up to scratch.
Basically my motivation for creating this is simple - I felt all IRC clients fell into two categories - overloaded with features and not enough focus on design or not open source. What I've tried to do is stay on the correct side of both the items.
Things that you need to know before installing:
v2.3+ compatible - Gingerbread with Holo!
Multi-server support
Fully open source!
How to help me:
If you know how to work with Android then please feel free to fork https://github.com/tilal6991/HoloIRC and send me a pull request
Join #holoirc on Freenode to ask me questions or just for a chat
Things planned
Much more stuff

OK. I have no idea what the conflict between this and Expense Manager is. I don't have it installed but I don't understand what the conflict could possibly be...

Pretty cool irc client!
Any chance of adding the ability to join irc servers not in the default port?

Haha. Of course. That should be an easy addition so will deffo make into the next version.

As the commits on the repository indicate, a lot of progress has been made. Multi server support has been added and many many bugs have been squashed along with various other improvements. I hope to release another alpha later today.

App has been updated to v0.7.0 - see the second post for the changelog.
If you are coming from the previous version a data wipe or a full uninstall/reinstall is required since the server settings have been completely overhauled in the backend.

This looks like a nice alternative to AndChat. Any screenshots of it with a couple of open channels?
(Is there a dark theme?)

Yeah I'll put those up. Sorry not yet (although it's an option I want to add in a future version - I'll add that to the todo list )
Edit: the new shots are up - they are a lot clearer than the old ones.

Aw nice!
Well, according to the screenshot you already got me as a user. Will evaluate it with my ZNCs, thanks! Looks great so far.

Greets tilal, the client looks neat and sleek, better than the usual bloated clients on the Play Store. Was also nice from you to put the source code up - hope to see more updates soon

Just commited another slew of fixes along with the ability to delete servers - all this will be in the next version.
Any opinions on what you would like implemented next? I have ideas but not sure which would be considered the most important.

A dark theme.

Yeah it's already a WIP on my local code. TBH it's a one line change but the setting implementation may take some time. That and the fact that the cards ui for the main server list looks horribly out of place

Maybe you should improve the one line then.

OK I think I've managed to implement the switcher. It works fine but can be a bit jarring in places which I plan to work on.

I just experienced a crash. I disconnected from my ZNC by clicking Disconnect and LightIRC decided to stop working.

v1.1.0 is now on Google Play testing area. Lot of bug fixes in the release - see the first and second posts on how to get it and what changed.

I am new to the whole IRC thing, so, I was wondering how one might go about making his own channel?
My friend is making a forum for his guild in some game, he thought it'd be nifty to have a mobile chatroom for it! Rather than some java/flash chatroom on the forum.

FAQ ? WIP

Looks phenomenal mate!
I have yet to put any time in the app beyond the initial few minutes to check it out but I am confused about few things:
1) I see duplicates of app on all screens. See attached pics.
Might have something to do with the fact that I have selected all the repos?
2) Sync log - What exactly does that mean that the following failed: 06, 12, 22, 23? They are always failing. Tried to sync from multiple networks.
Is there an retry attempt happening? Where can I find the reason for failure?
3) Any way to make the sync notification to show progress like how it is happening for F-Droid now + Can we make it go away after sync has finished?
4) Suggestion: Make it possible to see somewhere from what repo the app is displayed.
Thanks for the hard work.

Suggestion:
Add "Pull down to refresh / sync", so that we no need to sync everytime by going into the setting.

I think I love you... The Fdroid app is ass, and the alternative apps aren't much better.

Works great so far. Only thing, it would be nice if you could copy/paste a repos info.
Most of them have the url and fingerprint together. The F-droid app works that way.
Thanks and keep up the fantastic work.

In upcoming updates will be disponible to login with the google account with 2fa?

There is an option to do so, go to repolist & at the bottom click on 'Add Repository' you can either add repos manually or scan Qr to add.
You can also share repos, long press on repolist its to view info and share option.
Will write FAQs with such details soon.

I'm not sure why you would require logins in Aurora Droid.
And in case you are asking about Aurora Store, you can login with 2FA enabled account, you just need to generate app passwords and use the generated password to login.

Thank you, I appritiate your time.
I want to share 2 of my latest findings with you:
1) Search results do not display all of the possible results - I was searching for a specific manga app that I downloaded from F-Droid but I couldn't find it via Aurora Droid.
From what I can see it is because you do not search within the app's description for matching keywords while f-droid does.
I've attached few pictures for reference.
2) Icon loading times when browsing / searching are extremely high - Sometimes they will not be loaded at all.
Entering the apps displays the icon instantly.
:good:

Amazing app! Can I disable the view of apps from Google Play? I want find only from F-Droid ones.

Great app, more like what F-droid *should* be.
Couple of things tho:
>>When sorting by 'Date' it's from oldest to newest—lots of scrolling to see newest entries in categories.
>>Some app showing 'Incompatible App' even though they are not. Able to d/l and install from F-droid, but blocked from doing so in Aurora Droid.
Love this thing, keep up the good work. And, Thanks!

Cool! The 'Incompatible App' issue is fixed for me, but still >>When sorting by 'Date' it's from oldest to newest. Not really a big deal, though.
Thanks again

Fixed ! Wait for next release

Search function is still not up to par with official client.
Dunno what the reason this time. Attaching pics with the search term of "manga".
Thanks again for the app, it's a very cool one

Refreshing applications lists oesn't seems to update the repo applications.
So, in order for a application update to appear in the update section, you need to manually resync the repos. Well, It's he case atleast for me, would maybe be better to replace what the refresh action to directly resync the repos if it doen't already do that.
Issues aside, Aurora droid is as good as Aurora Store, very happy by both overall applications, and really appreciate its design (which has support for AMOLED screen which is a plus for me)
