Hi there,
just wanted to get some feedback on my app. It is actually more a helper than an app, but anyway I think here on XDA I have the best chance of finding people who might have a use for it.
So if you are sometimes annoyed by short-URL's on your phone then take a look at my app, otherwise just walk away
What it does is that when you click on a short-URL (or on a link in Facebook), it gets the destination of that URL and directly sends you to the corresponding app. E.g.: When you are in your Twitter-app and click on a short-URL that links to a YouTube video what would normally happen is that your browser opens up and resolves the short-URL after which the browser would open up the YouTube app. With NoDetour the browser step is skipped. I know, not a big revolution, but for those of us with limited performance not unhandy.
Enough talk, here it is:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.furfm.nodetour
I will check this thread from time to time, so feedback is always appreciated!
I just created a site on UserVoice on which you can vote for features:
nodetour.uservoice.com

Now that we have Chrome to Phone available, I was thinking it would be great to have it be able to communicate in both directions.
Just think of the possibilities:
Your browsing a website while taking a poop. After your done your back at your desktop PC and you tap a single widget on your phone and voila it pops up on your PC.
I know Fennec is going to support this feature but maybe we can have it available to stock browser sooner.
Just throwing out ideas to any app developers browsing right now and if this exists already please let me know!
Go to the Google Code feature request thread for this and give it a star vote.
Great idea but I guess this would take a while until google impelments it..
starred and subscriped.
Does as it say, you take a photo of a document, crop it, extract the text and then you can search for that document on your phone using google search tab or our apps search tab and find the document in seconds. The documents are stored on your phone, the OCR is done using some serious hardware (via https) we dont store your documents after processing.
We think this is the best of breed OCR app on the Android marketplace in terms of text recognition quality.
If you want to try out the beta go here www.scanthing.com and give subscribe to the newsletter and will be happy to send to you.
ALSO
We have some other developers interested in doing OCR but in their own apps for various things, if this might be of interest to you let me know, we have a pretty simple API that you could use.
Best

I dunno if this is a UK-only app/site or not but I can't seem to get the site to do anything -- enter email address and hit the subscribe button and nothing happens. It says the app will be launched in the Android Market in 0 months, 0 days, 0 minutes, 0 seconds. I've tried it in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer and they all behave the same way.
Just applied for beta testing, hope i get accepted

same problem here - tried using firefox and chrome.
all things he mentioned are same with me.
Hi - yes countdown fixed - when you submit your email addy I get an email, I am going through all of them, be patient happy to give all those who requested access. Pls DO give feedback once you have had a chance to try the app.
Considering the exponential growth in mobile horsepower (with quad-core being imminent), will Scanthing be releasing a version with the OCR engine being onboard to the phone (instead of having to be sent out to a server)?
Available on marketplace now - if you want to trial it please contact me directly
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.scanthing.android
Again please do send us your feedback directly to mail(at)scanthing(dotcom).
In terms of moving the OCR onto handset, probably not, others are already doing this. Our thinking going forward is to allow accessibility of your data in the cloud. Again this would be opt-in and not for all but thats where we want to go. This would allow us to for example plug into great services like https://www.greplin.com/.
You guys should try a new app in town, called OCR Instantly Free.
Supports offline processing, cropping and image enhancement. No other OCR app I tried have all these features and as good.

Hello,
I'm hoping to find users that will help me test an app that I created recently.
In this app you can rate the pictures of people with 1 to 5 stars, depending on how much you like it.
I tried to make it an easy-to-use and fast app by using a minimalistic ICS-like user interface, pre-loading of images etc.
I'm using the camera intent and Media Store to allow people to upload their own pictures and it seems like this may behave differently depending on the Android version you use (custom Camera apps etc.).
So I hope some beta testers might clear the situation.
The app has no ads and it's permissions only ask for "full internet access" (to load images, store ratings) and "SD card access" (sadly you need this to retrieve pictures from the gallery intent).
Download link (or use the attached file): http://pollr.org/rmp
Best regards
Florian
I installed and it and used it for a bit. I'll use it more once more pictures are uploaded I started seeing duplicates. Hopefully I will be able to add pics from my picasa gallery. It just FC's now.
But good start.
App works very well, fairly fast and looks great. Lots of duplicates but that's something that would be fixed over time. Have yet to upload my picture but be prepared for alot of 5 star ratings lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
No option to choose which sex you want to rate?
Edit: had no trouble uploading a photo from QuickPic on my SGN.
Thanks for your feedback guys
Regarding the gallery problem I've redone the whole thing (not using a "select image and crop" intent but a "select image" followed by a crop intent) and it should reduce force closes and problems with incompatible gallery apps.
It would be great if you could try again (especially Knether) – I just need to know if you can select a photo and if you can crop it (or if it just appears as a preview without cropping), you don't have to upload it
I updated the app in the first post ( http://pollr.org/rmp )
Duplicate pictures shouldn't appear until you've seen all pictures (then you'll see random duplicates), I fixed that!
And @WiredPirate: You're right, I will implement an option to only rate men/women
Sorry for double posting, but there's a new version with gender selection.
First post or http://pollr.org/rmp
Also there have been quite some picture uploads today (more than yesterday) and no complains here, so I'm hoping it works
Thanks again!
Can I ask how come you haven't released it on the market?
Great looking app! Good luck with it!

I didn't release it on the Market because at first I wanted to make sure there aren't any major bugs (hence this thread).
But it is on the market now: https://market.android.com/details?id=de.fheft.ratemypicture
Sadly, all the testing is useless against irrational 1 star ratings: "Bad This is a fake app , same photos"

Man, that sucks (and drives me nuts) when people 1-star an app thats free! Especially when an app is as nice looking and functional as yours, usually just because they dont understand something. I downloaded the app and left a 5-star review, hopefully that'll help balance it out. By the way, my bit of feedback in the meantime:
After selecting which gender to choose, it goes away and I cant select it unless I restart the app (Edit: I realized I can hit the stock menu button, but please see suggestion 3)
I get some "failed to load connection" and "failed to upload photo" notices even though everything worked fine
In the spirit of ICS design, I would remove the Info button from the top right, and replace it with the ActionBar menu button, and add a few options (Choose gender, Info, Report, etc.) under that dropdown.
I know this may not be 100% right, but I strongly think you should populate the photos with 500-1,000 more attractive (but not professional) men and women. It's cheating a little but it will be very hard to create a userbase from limited photos which currently has a lot of not-so-attractive people (I would know, I'm not-so-attractive myself).
I hope thats useful and wish you best of luck with the app (you can always re-release it so dont fret too much). And if you have a moment, it would help me greatly if you can rate my free app to offset 1-star reviews like "great but cant convert negative temp" or "cant use comma only decimal"). I swear, paid users are always more satisfied than free ones..
Thanks a lot for your reply! I will definitely think about how to implement your suggestions, they're great!
And you're right, the free users seem to be the ones that don't read descriptions or think about ANYTHING before doing it/rating an app...
I wanted to have a look at your app as well, but the Market website tells me it's not compatible with any of my devices (Galaxy S2, Nexus One, both 2.3.x)... although the description says it's >2.2?
Hi guys, this is my first android Browser, please if you want to help me install it and tell me what i can modify. Thank you!

Floating Browser is a very quick,light and simple browser. If you are looking for an innovative and easy-to-use browser then you made the right choice. Floating Browser allows you to create up to ten windows which you will be able to resize, move and use them independently. Playing a video on youtube while you are leaving a comment on facebook, at the same time, has never been easier!
sounds good, but google play link is disabled.

was'nt this already posted on xda? i remember downloading it from here, almost a month back or so....
My mistake... It won't happen again!
Big congrats,this browser rocks,fast easy to use and the idea with the floating windows is damn cool,only the text is sometimes shown as a black line for me or have weird glitches,but maybe its my rom and i cant not sign in to my google account,after some seconds it crashes for me.but for the first one its cool,i love this browser,keep up the good work.many greeetz!!!
GREEEEETZ!!!
This is my first app (long time java dev, first time android dev) so I'm excited to get some XDA feedback =c) Hope I'm posting correctly. Also apparently I can't do links yet so sorry about that.
Why?
I got sick of composing a new email every time I wanted to send myself a note. I looked around, but couldn't find anything that did everything I wanted (at most I found one that used intents to pre-populate the "to" field). So I wrote mynderMail.
?id=com.uxiomatic.mynderMail
Elevator Pitch
The app will let you **send an email to yourself** as soon as you can type it out! First line of the message will become the subject of the email, and the rest will become the body.
**Material-ish Design!** I tried. I'm sure I didn't hit every guideline, but I feel like I got close.
There are **no ads** (though I am planning on a Pro version next year). This app is currently in beta - so let me know if you encounter any issues.
Demo Video is on Google Play - my first try at this kind of video (or any kind really.)
Demo Music Track: “Reckless” (by Azureflux), available on SoundCloud
----------------------------------FAQ-------------------------------------
Q: So all this does is send an email to myself? Can’t I just do it myself through my email app?
A: Yes and yes. But if you’re like me and you send yourself notes all the time, time savings of 50% make this app very useful. Sending from your email takes longer because you need to:
Open the email app (which takes longer to launch).
You have to hit compose.
Select yourself as recipient.
Type the subject.
Type the body.
Tap Send
Where as with mynderMail you just:
Open mynderMail.
Type your whole note in one textarea (including the subject).
Tap Send
Q: Can't I just use Evernote, Google Keep, Google Now, <insert your note taking app>...
A: You could. If you always go back and check your notes, sure. But sometimes you just need to get something somewhere where you know you'll see it and then sort it into the appropriate app. Some things end up in Evernote, or in an issue tracker (work or personal), sometimes it's a phone call, sometimes it's a follow up email, etc... Think of it as sticking a quick post it on your front door or somewhere else where you'll be sure to see it vs writing out a note and filing properly.
Q: I have an idea for a feature. Can you have the app do X?
A: Probably, though the Free version is fairly complete. Most of the new features will be added to the Pro version when it is released. You can send/post suggestions to me, and if it’s not already on the list and the suggestion makes it into the app, I’ll gift you a Pro version.

Thanks much android404
A Suggestion
The app is great. Makes sense and works perfectly. But I think the app would benefit immensely from a widget wherein I can type the text directly and hit send. That way I dont even have to open the app. Can do it right from the lockcreen/homescreen. Alternatively, a permanent notification can also serve the same purpose, but I prefer the widget.
Makes me think of BlitzMail. Maybe that one will give you inspiration for new features, who knows, have a look: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.grobox.blitzmail.lite

With a widget, I'd still have to open up some sort of activity since you can't type directly on the home screen, and since the app closes itself after send it amount to the same thing.
As far as a notification, I'm definitely considering it (also considering having a floating overlay a la "Snowball"/"Sloth Launcher" if i can figure out how to do it.) Currently I have it set up in my "Notification Toggle" which works out well

Huh, missed this one when doing my research, thanks. Looks like with this one though you have to enter your own mail server which is a bit of a barrier for entry.
The mail queue is a good idea that I already had on my list, as is sharing with the app.

I've since added an option for permanent notifications, as well as an option to share with the app (you can set it to send automatically or allow editing of the text before sending).
