Description
I wrote this app because I constantly forget to look at the free app of the day on the Amazon market and have missed out on a few really good apps.
Help Needed
This is version 1.0 so I expect there to be some bugs. If you have any questions,comments, or issues with the app please let me know.
I've added a good bit of info to the notification and plan to include more info with the addition of a custom layout.
How do I use it?
Once installed open Appstore Reminder from your applications. Click on the reminder time option and set what time you'd like to be notified. You can click on Test Reminder option to generate an instant reminder to see how it will look.
Clicking on the notification will dismiss the notification and open the Amazon Appstore app where you can download the app.
Thanks to everyone who test's this. I'd love to hear feedback good or bad. I plan on posting this to the market after it's been tested by all you fine folks!
UPDATE 5/24/2011
Now on the Android market as Amazon Free App Reminder. If you'd like to donate for future development please consider purchasing the Market version. This will also ensure easier updated in the future and I've got some good ideas for future enhancements.
UPDATE 5/26/2011
I've attached three new icon suggestions. Let me know your thoughts and if you like any of them. Also any modifications to these three you feel would help.
UPDATE 6/01/2011
I've attached the final three icon's for voting via poll. Let me know what you all think.
UPDATE 10/04/2011
It was taken down as requested by Amazon trademark department. They requested that the name be changed in the Market. During this time my wife had our third child and I unfortunately haven't had enough time to get back to this. Three kids under the age of the 3 and a full time job is quite the workload on it's own.
When I get home today I'll be uploading the latest version that's in the market here for everyone that needs the update. Unfortunately my big update that I was about to release right before my baby was born was lost due to some data corruption. I'm finally getting back into things and will hopefully have a newer, better, aster, more enhanced app out within the next few weeks.
Again sorry to everyone for the delay. I greatly apologize for the time it's taken me to get back into things. So the app is in the market now and I'll be uploading the latest version later tonight.
Thanks,
Cody
Change Log
Version 3
- Force closes should be fixed. With the exception of when there is no data signal
- Added options to enable/disable vibration, soundm and LED when notification is triggered
Thanks,
Cody (RaueSoft Development)
Here you can download the application
I've installed it and it seems to work rather well. It's nice that it tells you what app is available so you can decide whether or not you want to open to download, and that it provides quick access if you do want to. I'm curious though, why does this app need to access the sd card? Thanks for a great notification tool.

Very nice! Good work. This is something that should be built into the appstore. I don't see any issues at all.

esoomenona,
Thank you for testing. I believe the sdcard access is coming from using minsdkversion in the manifest file. There is a bug in Android that will show that permission when installing an app out of the market. Once it's loaded on the market that permission will not be needed. You can see the screen capture below from the market.
Thanks,
Cody

sorry if this is a noob thing, but mine is downloading as a .bin file, and ASTRO says it can't open it. what am I doing wrong?
Looks good. An option to toggle the vibrate on the notification might be nice.

I hope this app will serve as a reminder.
Not sure why but the notifier didn't umm, notify me, at the set time.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
The lock screen is called MiLocker. And while I-launcher is paid, it is only 2 dollars. And thank you thcnme956, I like it when people share my videos. I also don't like apple, but I do have to say I love the beautiful UI they have. I was getting kinda board changing LP and ADW and I like to see a change on my phone so yeah. And while DX-home is free, it doesn't have the whole IOS look. Try Espiar Launcher, it is free, but you won't be able to do some of the things on iLuancher.
The latest version force closes every time I try the new change icon/app name feature. iLauncher now is far behind Espier Launcher in terms of stability and usability. I did pay for iLauncher to support the developer but the app is actually getting worse with every update.
Just install a miui rom ;-)
MIUI doesn't look like iOS to me and is available for selected phones only.
I'm on MIUI and espier launcher

I'm not a big fan of iOS, just testing exotic launchers
iLauncher got updated and the icon/text edit fc bug is fixed. Now I see another "small" bug - from time to time the phone freezes and none of the keys can bring the home screen. Reboot is the only cure. This dev is hopeless. Seems like he is trying to do something but he doesn't know exactly how. Every update has a MAJOR issue that makes the entire app unusable.
And in the menu there is "Restore hidden apps" option, but no "Hide apps" option. Interesting.
Testing continues... just for fun. :laugh:
You can also try espier launcher

See this its inside the apk. Try swapping these with the same files from your systemui app
Then adb push the app to your system app and manually set permissions for it
Or do it with root explorer and set permissions to rw-r-r.
Also, that file browser looks NICE Xplore. I'll have to check the market for it.

could anybody put the two apks online? will they work for any ics? thanks a lot.
Very Encouraged by the responses, but want User Apks
Dear Fellow XDA users and specially developers, I am very encouraged there is so much liking and demand for this particular wallpaper, i wish however, there was a way these APK's could be installed as User apps - cause that would really free this wonderful wallpaper from any constraints.
Short of this - there will be need for putting this in ROMS and installing via root and such - which may not be convenient for people of all skill levels.

Same way you do it with stock - you have to open up the app drawer, hit the menu button, then select edit. You may need to switch the view type first - do that, and then you can drag things from the app drawer into the dock and vice versa.
Hey again -
To the few that do try this rom out - feel free to drop suggestions for other things to try and work in (beyond lockscreens of course). While I do have one known (and one unknown) surprise ready, I'd like to get a few more things worked into an update if at all possible. I can't say I'll be able to work in what is suggested, but I'll give it a shot at least
Having an updated tw launcher or a different launcher with the ability to have 5 or 6 apps in the dock would be all that I would ask for. Everything else is fantastic. Thanks for all your efforts.

Yeah I've thought about such things, but I always circle back to the idea that there are so many great 3rd party launchers out there I should let it be to encourage folks to explore those options lol. I also am leery on putting in a launcher that has a pay version or has the whole ask-for-permission hassle (that's not really a hassle), but I'll keep my eyes peeled for something different.

Google Now should have been working - all the stuff from the referenced link was added for it anyway. How is it different now vs. when you first flashed the ROM? Could you get me a screenshot of what it looks like for you now? Perhaps I missed something...
LOL on the swag toggle - I meant to change how that behaved. The toggle is there for fun only, but to mess with people on the Gingerbread build I had it set to force download mode if you turned it on while auto-brightness is turned on - I forgot to change that, my bad
EDIT: Derp... I see what I forgot... Ok, it will be fixed in 2.1, sorry about that For those not wanting to go and flash anything, all you need to do is delete /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk and then reboot and all will be well. My bad.

Yep - everything in that is already in the rom, I just forgot to remove an apk. D'oh.
First off - thanks to those that have offered some feedback on this, it is very much appreciated. That being said, I know not many have tried this out but I'm getting an update together, so I wanted to ask if anyone has noticed anything else not working quite as they expected or anything that should be changed/added/removed...?
I haven't come across anything I wanna do with the launcher yet, but I have cleaned up a few things in the toggles, Google Now is now working as it should, I fixed another little bug I found when you first turn on wifi after flashing... outside of that is there anything people have found that I should address before updating? No worries if not - like I said not many have tried this out, but I'd like to get all the little issues ironed out before updating if possible.
