Is there a converter app?

Hi,
Is there a converter app for converting things like volume (eg litres to gallons), length (eg cm to inches), currency etc?
Cheers

I'm sure there are good alternatives here on XDA but for my part I have long used Trancreative MX Converter. It is a commercial product and not at all new (or recently updated) but in my opinion it does a very good job at converting a huge number of units in different categories. It also does currency - and new updates for currency value can be downloaded through the application. And it handles WVGA.
Have a look at www.trancreative.com

Thanks for this link. Why does it say buy it now on the webpage, but I've downloaded it and installed for free? Am I going to be charged for it at some point? $14.95 is a bit steep, well very steep

If you want something that looks fancy take a look at uConvert... only problem is it seems to suffer from ugly gradients thanks to good old WM.

It works as a free trial for 15 days I think. Then you must register or the program stops working.
There are already pointers here to free and cheaper applications that does much of the same job as MXConverter but in my opinion; if I can't spend 15$ on an application then I don't really need it much...
That is not to say that I would not prefer to get it for free mind you...

No problem... I believe the free version doesn't even have a time limit, just doesn't let you update the currency rates. So you don't even have to spend the $1 to buy it.

BETA Dropbox for Windows Mobile!

Hi all
There are a lot of filesyncing applications available out there, but after testing a lot, Dropbox was the winner. They already have millions of users out there, but no Windows Mobile Client.
Until... next week!
We will release a first public beta of Dropbox for Windows Mobile. More Infos here:

You dont know dropbox yet? It's a free file synchronisation service (2GB free, 50GB 10$/month). Its lightning fast!

I would like a dropBox app for winMo!!
That's one shame less, so shame == 4

I use DropBox as the code vault for my Visual Studio apps, so everything I've release on XDA is held on DropBox somewhere! I can't fault it, as I tend to develop in 3 or 4 different places, on different PCs. It's invaluable for that! I'm not sure about a WinMo app for it, but I'll give it a go when it's available.
Anyway, there's something wrong with your referal link mate. It's got the wrong referal code at the end. It should be this :

Wrong also, must be:

You gave a strange definition of Free...In my opinion 10$/month isn't free! Am I wrong?

People just need to ignore the referral link and go to www.dropbox.com for information if they're interested. Or a mod could just edit his link in the opening post.

as i understand, 2gb are for free, if you want more, e.g. 50gb, you have to pay. so its basically a free file storage

[Q] Guys with rooted Xperia Play, please read this!s

Hi Xperia users. I have one question. Can anyone post here a save from BackStab (a new exclusive game by Gameloft)?. I need save after tutorial and maybe first two missions. If someone have it, please write here or PM me. Thanks for all.

Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact you need save data for the cracked version of the game would it?

I have it but would ask same question as above poster... Don't be tight

Then you won't need to 'get it to work'.

But don't you understand? I can't control beacuse in tutorial there aren't screentouch sticks, only this cool panel on xperia play. So anyone give me link o PM? Please.

If one can give you the save, he wouldn't need the cracked version would he? You'd better just buy the game yourself.

just give me files in data/data/com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftSDHP.ML/ and i think there are - globalsave0.dat ; globalsaveli0.dat ; save0.dat ; saveli0.dat
I think these files are saves, not other.
Help me, someone ?^^

ok i got it woorking on desire .

Fine. Now please search for a work, get some money and invest in the work of gameloft. OMG! The Play is such a nice device. But those guys with cracked software shows to the devs that the iPhone is the most valuable device on the market.

Not to glorify cracked software but the iphone is just about the most cracked phone there is. Everyone i know with an iphone has jailbroken it.

(Guy gets his phone, day 1) [Post reads]
Woohoo, i got my new phone, where can I download games? How do I get them to work??
(Day 90) [Post reads]
Jeez, there's no new games coming out for this device, this sucks.
Sorry what did you expect?!

But the iphone needs to be jailbroken to download software you should pay for for free. On android sometimes you just need to install an apk with the integrated apk installer.

If it would be possible so would you. everybody has their price. I personally buy my games but i understand that people without money download them. if they didnt they wouldnt buy anyway because they have no money so no loss for the devs.

I like piracy personally, I think console games are way to over priced, up to £50 for a game that will last me 4 hours, put the price properly and ill pay, as for phone games £1-£3 each come on don't be tight! games at this price are fine and SHOULD ALWAYS be paid for.
Sure pirate the scummy console games that try to rip the world off, hey you want to pay your staff 100k a year that's up to you but don't ask me to pay.
but android games are cheap so buy them!

Personally i think £3 is cheep for some of the more indepth games but £5-6 for some of the less details games not really worth it.
if you pirate a game and like it pay for it if its rubbish unistall it and leave it at that.

[APP][TOOL] Bing Rewards Automator

Hey all!
I'm sure some of you are familiar with the Bing Rewards system; it's simple, search with Bing, earn rewards points, redeem rewards points for gift cards, Xbox Live Microsoft Points, among many other things. Most commonly you are able to accumulate 15 points per day (in some cases 30), with 1 point being equivalent to 2 searches. This means you must do 30 Bing searches per day to get the maximum amount of points. But who has time to sit there and tediously search for 30 different things? That's where my app comes in.
I haven't found anything similar on a mobile phone. I know there are websites that do this for you, but if you aren't near a computer and want to bang out your 30 or so searches quickly, this is the app for you.
Be gentle, this is my first crack at an app! Although it is extremely simple I believe there is much to be done and updates will continue to roll out over the coming weeks.
Thanks guys! Any constructive criticism is appreciated :cyclops:
You can find the link to the Play Store here.
Link to the PRO version is here
Edit on 4/19 -> If the link above doesn't work, give it a little bit of time. The application is still in the process of being published.

Only thing is I'm not sure it did it. Maybe a"done" or "finished" dialogue.
Thanks for the app because i never use Bing on my computer unless they remind me. I've been a rewards member since they started it and only just now have 200 points this will be very handy.

It does go through the process, it does kind of 'freeze' until its done, but if you wait long enough you'll see the final search load and your points will be there. Some sort of visual feedback is a great idea. I'll definitely add it next update, thanks so much!

Is there an option to automatically run at a certain time of day so I don't have to remember every day?

Not as of now, I'll definitely explore that for you though. I'm about to push an update with feedback on when it is done.

Just updated this - very minor updates. Fixed a bug where inputting '90' searches wouldn't do anything. Every number should work now. But the application will never do more than 90 searches (as this is the max amount of searches that will yield points any given day).
I'm sure some of you have multiple accounts for Bing Rewards (I do), I'm looking to maybe implement a tabbed layout, in which each tab has its own webpage. The way I see it, instead of having to log in and out of your accounts on the one webpage, each tab will be a different account, saving you guys even more time! After all, who has more than a few minutes to spend for Bing searches anyways?

Another new update!
v1.1 Big update!
- Got rid of the text box that prompted the user to enter the amount of searches they wanted done. Instead, there are now buttons with pre-defined amounts of searches for each.
- Made it much easier to shuffle accounts by way of adding the 'Windows' and 'Facebook' buttons.
- Added an Info & Instructions tab to give the user more information about the application, and how to get the most out of it.
PLEASE check the Info & Instructions tab to understand the new update!!
I believe this update makes it much more user friendly, hopefully you all enjoy it. If you like it, don't be afraid to give me a good rating

Hello again everybody. I've got a sweet new update for all users! Who has time for ANRs and Crashes? Well, I certainly don't, and I'm sure you don't either. ANRs in my application are a thing of the past with my v1.1.1 update that I like to call "Anti-Freeze".
v1.1.1 "Anti-Freeze"
The freezing of the application is now gone - you'll be able to see searches happen in real time.
Also, it was brought to my attention that the search terms that were used were not working for some users, maybe because Bing caught on to using the same terms everyday? Regardless, no two searches will be alike - a random word generator has been implemented.
This should be nearly perfect now. No stupid BS that'll waste your time, just open the app, log in, click the button, and watch your Rewards Points flow in .
Please don't forget to rate and/or give feedback on the Play Store listing. If you have any questions, you can also post them in this thread, as I check this bi-daily (Is that even a word? Whatever. Twice a day).

I wouldn't call scheduling "too much" at all.. you may see that in maybe a 'Pro' version of the application sometime in the future aka once school is over. But a friendly reminder in the status bar shouldn't be too hard to implement for this current version of the application. That'll be included in the next update for sure, Lee. Thanks for the idea

wow! You rock. I had literally submitted a comment on the play store about the search terms and anr being worse. And while I'm sure I'm not the only one who's mentioned it. You not only replied quickly, but you also fixed the issue just as fast. I commend you for that. There needs to be more devs like you. Best of luck, and once again keep up the good work!

GO PRO!
It's just me again..
Writing this to let you all know that there is now a 'Pro' version of the application available! As of me writing this the link probably isn't quite up and running yet, but it will be found at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crockettc.bingrewardsautomatorpro in the next few hours.
So what does this Pro version do? Well, for starters its twice as fast at searching, meaning you get done faster, saving you more time. I'm going to re-do the look and feel of the application to make it look better, not just boring old white & stock Android, cause even as the developer of this application, I must admit it is boring to look at.
If you've been following this post, you can also surmise that a auto-start feature will be implemented in the Pro version as well sometime in the future.
Now just because a Pro version is out, doesn't mean I'm abandoning the 'base' version! If bugs are found, or the need arises for a change, it will be updated just as quickly as the Pro version would be. I'd never leave you guys, the downloaders of my first ever published application, behind!
Enjoy your night guys!

Just a quick update to those of you following this thread, the auto start feature should be in an update by the middle of next week! The full auto start will be pro version only, with a reminder notification going in the base version.

[Q] Peticion: How have the Tasker.apk?

Hi to all
excuse my poor english
Tasker.apk is app that is used to program from the same phone, for me is very practical and fast for small and usefull things.
The downside is that I could not export the programs make in say app, I had installed all necessary (according to this tutorial youtube.com/watch?v=2FEIzPwjoyU, clearly a free version) but is fails, only created the program but not exported to .apk
please help

You should buy it on the play store.....
Tasker on Google Play

Tasker is a paid app, what I think your referring to is the Tasker App Factory plugin that allows you to create an app from a Tasker profile. But you need the Tasker app in order to use this.

Then your looking in the wrong place. XDA doesn't allow warez on their forums and what you're asking for is warez. I'm sorry, but if you want any kind of support from XDA you'd actually have to buy it on the play store.

You would have a better chance asking someone here that purchased the app to create a profile app for you!! No one here is going to post a paid app for free. Not only is it against a rules but it is disrespectful to all developers who spend time making these apps.
I'm not trying to sound rude but $2.99 for this app is very reasonable given the functionality it provides!!

clear, I understand, but when you live in a country where a dollar costs much money and above all there is no way to pay virtually, if paid costs more than double

The hacking in the title is more meant as hacking our phones and modifying the Android system, the great benefits of Open Source code.
Like I said before if there is something specific you wanted to create you could post (in detail) what it is and I or someone else could create that in Tasker and create the profile apk for you.
