It looks nice, will have a look at it!

Nice one man, let me know what you think

Wow, this application is fantastic! The options are endless and cover any config for looks or device. I am definitely going to purchase this one.
Great job!

I've been using this app since a long time and I really love it. Before a few weeks, I've bougt the pro version to support the developer.
Everything is working fine, but one thing:
It's terrible to change the theme. It's great to have that function, but I really don't know, what I'm doing there.
Click here, click there, look - no changes. Click there, click here - changes. But why?
The settings are really hard to use. I hope, that you can makes this theming easier for us^^

This is one of the few app I have never uninstalled. I think because it is so darned customizable. and that it has always been actively developed. Glad to be able to check out the newest features. Thanks

One of the few true "must have" Android apps. Thanks for all your hard work!

I've also been using this app for several months. Keep up the good work!

So am i,
I thing i would is like a button on the button or top thats opens agenda,.. or does it have it already and that is missed it?
Keep up youre good work
Gr.

I have compared a bunch of calendar widgets, and I this was the best one . I have been using it for kind of a long time now. I love how efficient it is about space, allowing me to see as much as possible in a limited amount of space. And of course scrolling.
Good job!

I've been using your app for a long time and I love it.
Here's a screenshot of it on my Nexus One:
There is problem with the time on my device. I get tasks from Google Calendar and they start one hour too early. If I got an appointment at 8 it shows as if I got it at 7.

just wanted to say ive been using the pay version of your app for some time on my G2 and I absolutely love it. ive tried almost all the calendar/agenda widgets out there and none come close to yours in customization. big thanks and looking forward to future updates. no bugs here for me so far.

This App has become my new homescreen calander/agenda. I use to use calwidget (great app by the way) by came across agenda widget and fell in love. Love how you can scroll with ADW.
Only complaint is the UI needs some cleanup and tweaking. Took me an hour to get it to look the way I wanted it too.
Example:

Wow that was a lot of replies in no time!
First, thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
I'm glad to continue working on an application people use so much and the positive comments give me motivation to fix the bugs and add new features! I will now reply to the "support" questions in reverse chronological order:

I am working on this at the moment, did you try the dev version with the new appearance settings?
I also cleaned up a few of the themes and tweaked some scrolling appearance bugs so they look a bit nicer to start with.

It has this function, you might need to override the date click action in settings->buttons and toolbars. This will become more automatic and easier to set in one or two releases as I have a nice little wizard half written which forces you to choose settings for click actions that will work

This should be fixed in the new version with a preview in the settings?
I was planning to release the free version to the market today (version 1.6.3), if anyone has time to check it doesn't break anything by upgrading the the dev version from the current market version it would be much appreciated!

Nice, that fixed the problem!
I've tried the developer version now and I like the preview setting though i still find the whole color/transparency settings a bit confusing (now you can set the transparency inside the color setting?).
I also think I found a bug here - when you change something "error compiling widget" begins popping up at the top but you probably know.
Keep up the great work.

Yep, someone told me about that.
I am going to change the way the preview works so it can also preview scrolling widgets, once I do this I hope it will automagically fix the weird error compiling widget problem.

I've been using this widget for some time and it is the best agenda widget out there!
Thanks!

I would like to have a separate tasks and agenda widget. This is completely possible except that calendars are global whether 'use global settings' is ticked or not.
I updated to the dev plus version and I've encountered no bugs that haven't already been mentioned. The preview is brilliant saved exiting settings for every change

Hey man,
The calendar list is stored in a database (rather than preferences like everything else) so there is a separate preference to handle the calendar list per widget called "widget calendars independent" in the calendars preference branch. There are some instructions on the wiki that should help.

Thanks baks for the feedback.
I have just pushed an update to the store which allows DealPad to run on Android 2.2+. This now allows approximately 95% of active Android devices to access the application.
To celebrate this release the Ad-Free version has been reduced to just 50pence.
As always I look forward to hearing feedback from you guys.

Amazing app, definitely the best “HotUkDeals” app on the market. However, I have a suggestion, would it be possible to add a slide function to move between panels?

Sorry just noticed your comment now. I have considered the slide between tabs. The reason it is not implemented currently is that when a tab is switched the deals are downloaded. So adding the slide to switch tabs doesn't feel right.
I will keep it on the to do list and see if I can cache some deals to make it feel more natural and fluid.
Let me know if you have any more requests/comments.

Ahh its fine. Could you not make the slide feature like the YouTube app? The page itself doesn’t actually freeze, so you still have the ability to slide/press a tab even though it’s loading. Caching the deals would be a good idea though, definitely more efficient.
By the way, I have also noticed the settings page doesn’t actually have a header?

By the way, have you thought about adding the ability to switch between holo light and holo dark themes. Just a thought

Yeah the way youtube implement it is nice. Sadly the way the deals are stored at the moment means I can't do that without changing the data structure which will be a bit of work.
Regarding themes, I am personally not a fan of holo dark but I have had a few requests so I can look into it. Unsure about black and orange though

Yeah I understand what you mean, hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to implement though as a slide function would be great. It would definitely make it easier to switch tabs on tablets.
The black and orange theme wouldn't be too bad in my opinion, not greatly important, but nice as an option.

[APP][1.6+] Thousand Clocks Gallery

Hi,

To promote my app I created non editor version of the application Thousand Clocks Gallery (you can download it for free from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock.gallery.pro.
Application is
- free (no ads)
- supports all elements as paid version Make Your Clock Widget (battery, weather, date, time, ...)
Limitations are:
- number of downloads per week is limited
- user needs to be registered to count number of downloads
I would like to ask you for feedback about app. Whether you feel that app is useful, whether is is easy to user (or you had some issues with app or with concept), etc.
Thanks a lot
Tom

I was holding my tongue but I wish you would open the ability to use custom images and fonts over giving away what has already been created. I guess my viewpoint is I think the app would be better if it was more customizable than if others could use my creations easily. The interface on your app is way easier than UCCW, but I have switched due to the ability to mod images, fonts etc.

To be honest: I created Thousand Clocks Gallery to promote widget editor. The issue with the application is currently that development is pretty expensive (as application is getting more and more sophisticated) and to get payback for adding new features I need more users.

That makes sense. I have never made an app so cost never crossed my mind. Your editor ui is far superior to others in your class in my opinion. It was why I bought the app months back. That being said custumibility will get you more paid users. Good luck.

My experience from past four months is unfortunately completely different. Sales of Make Your Clock are still getting lower and lower despite of adding more and more features.

You're in the driver seat so I am not in a place to argue. You already have my money, I'm just saying the reason I unistalled your app and am trying uccw is the ability to add my own images and fonts. :beer:

Apology for registration issue
BTW: I want to apologize for the issue you may experienced when registering in first days. Because of extreme interest in app we run out of App Engine email quota and app was not sending registration confirmation emails.
It is solved now and all users (no matter they were affected or not) registered before Tuesday 4/17/2012 will get 100 extra download credits.

BTW: I added new features according your feedback
- you can (re)center your design now
- you can delete design from phone
- you can change clock type from 12 to 24 hours and back
- minor bugs fixed

No registration required from now!
We completely removed registration as users complained to registration process. Now you can use this app without any limits immediately after installation.

[APP][4.1+] Snype - fastest way to access apps and contacts

Hi all!
I wasn't satisfied with any of the current methods of accessing all apps/contacts so I set out to create my own.
I present to you, Snype.
Snype has a unique dual-index system where switching between "snyping" apps and contacts is almost instant. It has changed the way I use my device and has done the same for many of my beta testers.
It also has a unique "side panel" mode where apps and contacts can be accessed simply by scrolling a finger up or down the edge of the display, which is always active no matter which app you are currently in. A list will appear and automatically begin scrolling to the location in the index that the finger is pointing to.
Snype does not try to replace your launcher. In fact, I designed it so that I would be able to use any launcher I like and not have to worry about the launcher's implementation of the app drawer. This means it's very easy to have a completely uncluttered, beautiful home screen and still be only a second away from accessing any app or contact you desire.
There are no ads and all functionality is available for free. The premium upgrade allows full customisation of the appearance of the lists.
Let me know how it goes for you!

I should mention that the premium upgrade is available for $0.99 for a short period of time to celebrate the launch of Snype. It will be a bit more later.

Some things to change:
- Add more languages
- if possible the alphabet lists have a title to know that one it is for apps, and the other for contacts.
- A widget and a direct access from home.

Thanks for the excellent feedback.
More languages is actually a surprisingly large challenge due to the indexes. It is something that I might look into again later, but when I was having a crack at it before there were some significant technical hurdles.
I have thought about doing something to let you know at a glance which is for apps and which is for contacts... like different colours or something. I'm not sure. Where do you think the title should go? There's not much room there.
I also looked into doing a widget. Unfortunately widgets don't support all kinds of views so making a widget with this functionality is impossible unless the launcher is built specifically for it. That's actually the main reason I implemented the side panels, because I knew the widget would not be possible.

ability to launch apps in halo would be nice. And maybe icon theme support. Very nice and useful app by the way:good:

Thanks for the ideas

I just released an update to fix some crashes in the initial release.

I just released an update which added animation to the side panels, adds Snype to the list of apps and fixes some bugs. I'm still trying to hunt down some bugs that occur only on some devices. Let me know if you have one of those devices please.

Okay, I think I've got all the known bugs fixed. Let me know if there's anything else wonky.

Just released an update with a new feature: favourites bar.
Now it's even faster to access those special few apps and contacts you use most often.

I love the ability to search contracts easily! And light theme looks cool.
Keep it up!:good:

[APP CONCEPT] Facebook Holo/Google-style app design concept

Holo Facebook app concept
The Facebook's app new flat UI is quite nice but it's still far off the Holo design. This is why I designed this concept of what I always wanted the Facebook app to look like. It is basically the current Facebook flat UI with parts based on the latest update of the Google Newsstand app. The first photo shows the phone version, the rest show the tablet (Nexus 7) version in portrait mode.
I am not a developer so there is no way I will be actually able to make this app, but I decided to share it in case there is a developer who could! If so make sure to contact me.

I would add a translucent status bar except I am against the use of it in certain apps, it makes the top of the app look strangely long and it makes it seem like Android is following everything iOS is doing. I love the translucent bars when it comes to showing pictures (something the stock gallery ironically doesn't do), the home launcher and a few other places where it works really well, however when the app has the huge menu/title bar at the top I think there isn't much purpose to have it translucent as it just shows the colour behind it.

Thank you! and I hope so as well! The current Facebook app layout is a huge improvement over the previous one which simply looked horrid in my opinion, but the current one still could be improved. My idea shows the holo concept, it would make the Facebook app more consistent with the other Android apps and therefore easier/more enjoyable to use.
I think Google should definitely have more control or enforce more of their guidelines for the app designs because what we have right now (especially from 3rd party apps, especially big ones like Facebook) is inconsistent mess really. Google needs to do something about it but honestly they need to do something about their apps first, if you want to know what I mean just open an app like Play Store or Newsstand and look at the layout and icons there and at the icons for search and pop out menu, then open their brand new app of Docs and just look at everything as a whole! The slide out menu is completely different from their other apps, and the icons on the title bar are also different, why change the search icon, the previous one was nice!
I am aware that I am looking at details here, but really these are quite major ones really, if this is the way Google is going with their apps (I mean the style of Docs) then that's fine with me, just please update the other apps to go along with it!
Sorry for the long paragraph but I honestly think they should do something about it, I'm pretty sure there are others who feel the same way as me.

That's an awsome concept, and some awsome design. I'm actually a little bit disappointed that such an app is not available yet.
You may..no..You Definitely should talk to guys at the Holofication Nation. They are Holofying apps for quite some time now.
Oh, and please keep posted about new developments. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you! And I am disappointed too! I'm aware of the holofication nation and they're doing some great work!
The Facebook app is a tricky one since its UI isn't controlled by the app, but by the server (that's what I've heard) therefore can't be themed, which would mean a new app would have to be made.
I wish I could be able to actually make an app like that but since I don't know much about coding (I know quite a bit about theming) I can't really do anything, I can provide a concept at least!
I'm planning to make a Holo concept for the Twitter app as well, it will be similar to this one (I think).

Would anyone like to see a Quantum Paper Facebook app concept?
