on{X} Automate youlife by Microsoft - Android Apps and Games

Hi All,
Microsoft is launched an application called on{X}.
This application is like tasker but it can do much more for novice users as it worked on Javascript and You will get the javascript code from any website so easily.
Installation Link
Type in google play : on{X}
Video Link
Type this on you Tube : on{X} - automate your life
Sorry for the links, as I'm not eligible to paste outside links in this forum.
Please comment and make me eligible

What is the benefit for microsoft? I mean, it's free, so what do they get from it?

I would assume that with a larger user base (android), it'll give a nice boost to on{X}'s "recipes" which is always a great thing as it will serve as references to other platforms running on{x} in near future
Yield is everything when it comes to such approach (on{X})

Can someone tell me the huge different to tasker oder automateit? It looks like that its the same with programming instead of klicking?

There is just one thing I don't like on this app:
Facebook login and using my private data
Why such app need to do this, and why can't I use other login possibilities?(windows live, google etc?)

you cannot do as much with one ex as with tasker. also you need to do the recepies on your pc and then push to your phone and as retsam88 said, you have to log in via facebook. so, tasker is the better solution for me.

When something looks free, it's usually because YOU are the product.

Lol, Gmail is free but you don't see us asking that But seriously, there's nothing wrong with them increasing their userbase. Thats why you see Google apps on iPhone.

yeah thanks! exactly what i was looking for.
with that app you have to add your friends manually. It can't read your XBL account and pull your friends from the list.
search for gsDroid in the Market. i use that. Sign in with your windows ID so no need to add all your friends

This is a great app, but does not work if your friends have privacy settings enabled.

No, you can't send messages through it. It does still work if your friends have privacy settings enabled. gsDroid is by far the best Xbox live app imo.
don't get gsDroid
I have to say gsDroid may work really well and all but I wouldn't get it! You have to give them your Microsoft sign in information which violates x box rules for a good reason. That person would have access to your account and possible credit card info. No matter how much you may like the app we really don't know the developer and this could be an opportunity for that person to get your info and scam people.

[APP] MySQL Manager

I'm trying to get a feel for what kind of demand there is out there for a MySQL manager for Android.
Obviously there's only going to be a small niche of people who would want/use one, myself included, so I guess I wanted to get the feedback of the people on these forums to see what demand is like.
I'm currently building one that I plan to stick on the Android Market in the next week or so, and I'll let everyone who expresses interest know when that happens. The first version I put out will be a "lite" version. Features will include:
Create/Edit/Delete server/db credentials
View a list of all Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures in a db
View first 100 records of any Table or View
Drop Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures
Add/Edit Views
Add/Edit Stored Procedures
Run custom queries
If the demand and responses are good, I will completely re-do the UI, add some nice graphics, and put out a much more feature-rich version. Not going to waste my time to do that, though, if I don't feel there is enough need.
Thanks in advance to everyone who responds!

I would definitely use this. Personally, running custom queries would be the only thing I would use it for tho (i'm a sql/command line ninja haha). Hard saying how often I would use it. Currently I just ssh into a nix box and use mysql client from there when I'm remote/without a laptop and need to fix something.

I have released the initial version of my app on the market. Search for AndSQL.
Keep in mind, this is a very rough first version and is not intended to be complete with features. If response/feedback is good I will re-do UI, add graphics, and style it. Any feedback is greatly welcomed. Thanks!!
-teleknEsis
Can't find on the market, is there a download link?
Also, about "Run custom queries" is there the option to save/load the queries too?
I will appreciate that because i often run the same queries, so i save and load them when i need

As of right now there is not. This would be a feature I would definitely add if I decide to make a 'full' version. This was really more or less just a quick tool I made for myself to do quick db edits/checks on the fly when problems are reported. It has a ton of potential, I'm just not sure how large the demand is for a 'full' version of this.
My app targets 2.1 and up so not sure why you don't see it in the Market, but I'll go ahead and post it in the OP. Look for it there.
Ok, thanks for reply, it's quite useful already to do quick and emergency checks.
I'm on froyo now, so i should be able to find it in the market...

There's likely a bug in my connection error reporting. If you're not seeing any tables or views then there's probably something wrong w/ your connection settings.
Make sure your MySQL db is set to allow remote connections, and also verify that the port you specified is correct. Hope that helps
Im' pretty sure everything it's ok, from my home pc i can connect without any problem...

Hmmm well works fine for me with several different MySQL db's on different servers, different hosting solutions. I'll make sure connection error reporting is working tonight and submit an updated app for you.
Thanks, i appreciate the effort

[Q] Locally-Stored Android App

I am new to the app scene. I was curious if there was a way to store apps locally, without the need of sales/Play Store/Amazon Store/etc.
I am just looking at storing it locally on a phone, or possibly a tablet, to show to potential clients. And also for portfolio purposes, down the road.
Again, I am a self-professed "noob", so all help is appreciated.
Thank you.

unless it is your personal app, you will need to get it from one of the stores at some point.
some apps can be downloaded by other means, but that is highly frowned upon, and against the rules to even discuss here (so please dont comment back on it).
if your device is rooted, you could use an app like titanium to make a backup of all the apps. then they would be saved locally, but i dont know how compatible that backup would be if you tried to restore it on other devices.
i would think if its a paid app, there is likely some entitlement verification coded into the app. so if it cant verify through one of the stores, it likely wont work properly if at all.
It would be apps that I build. So it would be for my own personal use. Like I said, it's to show potential clients. I would be using it to show how an app works, as a display to the client.
It will be my work. And it will be strictly for my clients.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks.

once you install an app on any device, from any source, you can use
1.apk extractor
2.es file explorer
to have the apk file, which can then be run on other devices as an installer.
or, you could dowbnload the apk straight from google play, search how with the search button.
Ok help me understand this.
It will be your app. One you make for your clients. which would mean your doing all the coding and building of the app, But you dont know how to store a simple apk on your device?

Yea, that was kind of confusing me too.
If you build the app, you can store and show it on any device its compatible.
I must be missing the issue here.

Yeah, like I said, I am completely new to this. I haven't even developed an app yet. I just wanted to visually, in my head, figure out how to display it to clients. I have clients. It's just a matter of developing apps, as far as coding.
I'm sorry if my questions are either dumb or easily answered. Thanks for all the help, though.

OK man then you are getting way ahead of yourself. First your gonna need to learn a few programing languages. Like Java and C+. Hell I would even start by reading these forums for a while as you seem like you really have no idea what your getting into.

Of course it's important if a tablet is being used by a parent & his kids! or other scenarios.
Looks simplistic, needs evaluation but I find it easy to configure as compared to much cluttered interface ofnetguard app which I use. Plz provide promo code. thanks in advance.

I see. However, there's nothing stopping them from uninstalling the app, or clearing its data, or disabling the VPN permission, or many other ways to bypass such a password if they really wanted.

How to restrict apps and internet access on Android (for an teenager)

Hi!
To help someone in my family, i need to disable access to Internet for specific apps. For example, access to WhatsApp but not to any web browser (or only for selected websites).
This person had an iPhone before and this was very easy to do on it
I already tested Open Time Limit but this seems to be too much easy to disable.
Do you know any app (working rootless if possible) or any custom rom that would allow that?
EDIT: And if the app is open source, thats even better!
A huge thank if you can help me
You can use ScreenTime.
There you can also set Timers.
and you can Block permanently apps like Settings.

Heimdall looks interesting! Not open source but not using Internet (so i will be able to disable Internet access in the options) so it looks interesting
About Gapps, he wants his phone to run without Google so no gapps (would be too easy )
okay let me know if this works
not ready yet, but soon there will be an open source alternative, keep an eye on its release:
ActivityWatch - Apps on Google Play
Track how you spend your time on your devices.

Opensource apps could be found at some repositories
You can also use netguard thats free on fdroid and block internet access to specific applications while letting the others work.
