[APP][Free][2.3+] WhatsApp2Date - Android Apps and Games

Hello guys and girls,
I follow the android development since version since 1.5 cupcake and i ever thought, if you have a great idea - write an app.
So i didn't wrote WhatsApp but i love it to be bleeding edge of development, so i was looking for a new prerelease of whatsapp from time to time on their website.
I wrote an app that checks for WhatsApp prereleases.
Thats the story.
Ive got some cool ideas for the future of this app where all bleeding edge user and even blogs have a great advance of...
Maybe someone shares my love for following the development of apps.
To install my App search for it in PlayStore "Whatsapp 2Date"
Or have a look to the attachment of this post.

got deleted on playstore
link to playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.barum.whatsapp2date
here are the circumstances for that
Yep i got deleted, thats what they told me:
"REASON FOR REMOVAL: Violation of the dangerous products provision of the Content Policy:
Applications that cause users to download or install applications from unknown sources outside of Google Play are prohibited."
So I tried to ask for any changes I could make to keep my app in playstore I also made suggestions, but i just got an default reply:
"Thank you for your note.
We have reviewed your appeal and will not be reinstating your app. This decision is final and we will not be responding to any additional emails regarding this removal."
Here is a short quote of what i wrote:
"The german policy sais, that it is forbidden to "seduce user to download or install extern apps without their knowledge" but i'm explaining in my app description that my app notifies on playstore or server updates.
so i think the users know that they download apps beside the playstore."
No comment on what I argumented.
I'm so disappointed how google deals with developers, that had 1,8 Mio downloads and 180.000 active user.
If I the App violates the policy they could have given me at least a chance to make it clean without loosing all my user.
When you ask for a bill for you playstore-order you get a contact person who takes care of the flow.
As developer you have nothing.
I didnt realized that i violate the policy, otherway i would have changed my app to get conform.
So my app still works, i just cant update it anymore via playstore.
If you want to keep informed follow this thread and join the comunity

nice work. thanks!

changelog
I like that you enjoy the app... may b someone can post the link to the app? as long as i still can't post links.
To the Changelog thing.... there is no official changelog at all from WhatsApp directly but i have a great idea concerning this.... just need some time to realise this...
currently there is a "bug" in my app ... i din't thought of that whatsapp would pull back some update ... so if someone installed the latest version last night... he would get notification that there is a new one - cause they pulled the never version back and i was too lazy to implement version compare.... working on it and guess to release update during this day.
ps: maybe someone (of the mods) can link this post to other relevant forums? i dont want to spam with double-postings

2lazy 2 compare version
Hello everybody,
i just want you 2 know, that the fixed version is on its way to the PlayStore.
Now there will be no more notifications if the installed-version is higher than the servers version.
Sorry for that annoying bug. As i allready said, i hadn't planned on that.
In Attachement is the mentioned version - the PlayStore takes its time to release my uploaded version.

Re: [APP] WhatsApp2Date
^^
FC on launch :-\
[N⁴][Motley][CarbonRom]

fixed fc
Force close fixed in this version....
I'm pretty new to android dev. so i guess i need to build a test-chain to test all cases that can get wrong, sorry
Updated version in attachement.

no ideas comments problems or anything?
At the moment the changes that come with the update are significant - whole whatsapp is rebuild in holo-design....

AW: [APP] WhatsApp2Date
In the next release i will include the changelog
from the whatsapp Website.
Are there other ideas or wishes i can add?

Re: [APP] WhatsApp2Date
Maybe you should make it a complete toolbox for WhatsApp, so not only checking for update

Great idea!
Which functions would you like to see?!
I wouldn't like to make it require root to function, since whatsapp runs on nearly every device.
I guess a rolleback-function would be great for the beginning - backup+uninstall server-version + reinstall playstore-version?!

Love it! GREAT IDEA! I, just like you, check the website daily. This will do it automatically for me. Thanks man. Keep up the good work.

Many users say that, but I never got a message from whatsapp. So i think, maybe they check once a week or its not active in all installed versions. With my app you don't miss any update

it was a black pop up not a notificant and it happened opening whatsapp so i suppose it's coming from original app not your.
il like your app so much, could you please make a setting for dark holo theme?
GUI can be also be tweaked more

AW: [APP][Free][2.3+] WhatsApp2Date
German Translation of the Options Screen is kinda funny xD
Your App looks interesting, i will try it!
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Arc S

@spupuz great idea, i think im gonna implement a toggle to switch between light and dark holo-theme
a new design is on my table, but had no time to implement ... the way the changelog is presented will be changed too in further versions...
@ShockBuddy thx, hope you enjoy the app as much as the german translation

WiMAX Message Notifier redux [Updated 2011-01-30]

Did you know the Evo 4G has a secret second notification LED? It's true! Located on the right side of the speaker near the Sprint logo, the so-called WiMAX LED was added by HTC but never put to work. With WiMAX Message Notifier, you can put this LED to good use.
---
Downloads below. If you have any issues, please, please, please read the release notes and FAQs before you post here.
If you get an FC, check logcat (e.g., using aLogcat) to see if there is a stack trace. Next, check to see if there is a log file on your SD card in the /WiMAXNotifier/logs/ directory. If you find anything, please post it here, or let me know if there are still no logs.
IMPORTANT: Uninstall any previous version of WiMAX Notifier before installing the latest one! That shouldn't be necessary in the future, but for now it is.
Market: coming soon! Either with the next version, or once I am confident that this version is stable.
Source code: evo-wimax-led-notifier Google Code project page
Release Notes:
Possible future improvements:
Support for email/missed call/voicemail/whatever notifications (requires research)
Revamp the UI (Just needs some time)
Coming soon
4G connectivity notifications (I mostly know how to do this)
GMail notifications
ETA: ???
v2011-01-30.2 BETA (current)
Non-broken version of what 2011-01-30.1 should have fixed. Needs testing on CM. Thanks pseudo_nomen!
If you are running a version older than v2011-01-23.1, you need to uninstall it before installing this version.
Ignore all texts from sender 9016 - these are Sprint notifications. This should really fix the voicemail-causing-light-to-get-stuck-on bug.
v2011-01-30.1 BETA (broken, don't use)
Hopefully fixed the issue where new voicemail notifications would cause the LED to come on and get stuck on. I have no idea if this will work on CyanogenMod or with any given messaging app.
If you are running a version older than v2011-01-23.1, you need to uninstall it before installing this version.
Examine incoming SMSes and try to determine whether they are text messages or voicemail control commands
v2011-01-24.1
Try to work around a bug in CyanogenMod. This should work on all ROMs, but if you already have v2011-01-23.1 and you aren't running CM, there's not any reason to upgrade.
If you are running a version older than v2011-01-23.1, you need to uninstall it before installing this version.
Check for ability to write to device, and try root if unable to. Hopefully this will work around a bug in CyanogenMod.
v2011-01-23.1
Almost completely re-written! Should be much faster and more reliable than bluedragon's version.
Uninstall old versions before installing this one!
Rewrote LED control code with a much less hacky version. Should be faster and more compatible across phones/ROMs.
Rewrote notification management code. Benefits: More stable, much faster detection of messages getting read, less battery usage (may not be noticeable)
New GUI. Currently looks pretty awful, as it was not a priority in this version.
App will now check to make sure the WiMAX LED is available whenever you start it. If you get a message saying "Your phone/ROM doesn't support the WiMAX LED!", post a message here with your hardware revision, ROM, and kernel.
Prepared code for adding new features.
v2011-01-08.1 (doesn't work for some people)
I still haven't been able to track down the FCs. The only big change in this version is the addition of a lot more logging - hopefully I'll finally be able to catch them.
More logging to try and catch those elusive FCs.
Move "Reset LED" to the main screen of the app instead of having it in a menu.
v2011-01-04 19:11
Initial release. There will still probably be FCs. I am trying to track down where they are coming from.
Added a "Reset LED" option in case the service crashes without disabling the LED. You can access it by opening the app and pressing menu. It will turn the LED off (but won't mark your messages as read).
* This is an update of the abandoned WiMAX Message Notifier project by bluedragon742. The primary goal is to fix the random Force Closes present in bluedragon's version. I may also add additional features at a later point.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q. How do I stop the normal LED from coming on? I don't need both!
A. From the launcher, press Menu and go to Settings --> Display --> Notification flash. You can then uncheck SMS/MMS. If you want to disable the built-in vibration/sound, or if you are using a non-stock messaging app, you should check the settings in all of the messaging apps you have installed.
Q. How much does this app cost?
A. For XDA members, it's free. There will be a paid version in the Market at some point, probably for $0.99. Of course, donations are always gladly accepted. If you're too cheap/broke to send me a buck or two, Dropbox signups through my referral link are always appreciated.
Q. Is this app ad-supported?
A. Nope. There really isn't any way I can think of to add ads.
Q. Does this app require root?
A. No.
Q. Is ____ feature supported?
A. Currently this app only handles SMS and MMS messages. I will hopefully be able to support incoming/missed calls, new voicemails, and GMail in future releases.
Q. Will this app drain my battery?
A. This app runs in the background via a Broadcast Receiver and only runs the service while the LED is on which therefore should not kill your battery.
Q. Can you support ____ rate or _____ color?
A. I am limited to what colors and rates are provided by the system.
Q. Are you using all of the available rates and colors?
A. Yes
Q. Will this work with my current SMS/MMS app and do I have to disable any notifications?
A. This app is designed to compliment, or work along side, your existing SMS/MMS app meaning that you should not have to disable anything in order for this app to work properly. It has been tested with the stock SMS/MMS app, Handcent, and Chomp.
Q. Do you have a Twitter account that I can follow to track your progress?
A. No. All progress will be posted in this thread, so you might have to dig through it.
Q. How do I live test the SMS and MMS notifications to make sure they work correctly?
A. Simple - send yourself an e-mail to "[your 10-digit number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com" for SMS or "[your 10-digit number]@pm.sprint.com" for MMS
Q. Does the message service always run in the background?
A. No. It is started when a new message is received and killed when the message has been read.
Q. What should I do if this app force closes?
A. Post here with the contents of the file "/sdcard/WiMAXNotifier/logs/wmnTrace_XXXXX.stack" if one exists and a dump from LogCat so that I may see what is causing the problem and fix it quickly. The .stack file is just a normal text file; you can rename it to .txt and attach it to your post, or open it in a text editor and copy the contents to Pastebin.com then post a link.
Q. Why does this app require Internet permissions?
A. In order for the hyperlinks in the About dialog to work correctly. (Full permissions list coming soon!)
Reserved for possible future use.
Niiice, glad to see a new thread. Thanks for keeping it alive and hopefully updated.
Right on!!! New favorite thread added

I'm not too surprised - I only fixed a few very minor things in this release. My main goal was to add the turn off led feature and get a new thread started. I plan to look more closely at it this weekend.
Do you recomend us removing the update from November/December and installing the january update from scratch. Or is it ok to just installe the new version over the older one?

Thanks again Ninja! It has been working perfectly for me ever since you re-did it. Is there any way you can make this compatible with gingerbread? I tried installing it on dc13/evokings titanium black project x GBv3 and it wouldn't work.
I got my first force close since installing the "new" app. I could not find an error file on my sd card.

[Apps] for the Sony Smartwatch MN2

Hi everyone.
To keep the Smartwatch Impressions Thread clean of bug-reports for my Apps i wanted to provide a own thread for them.
I just started developing for Android and the Sony Smartwatch because i missed so many functionality on my Smartwatch and the apps where missing in the market.
Some of them are done after people asked they want a app like that. For example the GPS Maps apps and the whatsapp notifier.
So if you miss some app for your smartwatch i might look at it to make it.
So here they are:
the Mail notifier (1.0.2.3):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.imapnotification
is using the javamail library for android. So there might be some bugs in it from me and from the library.
GPS Maps (1.0 Beta):
using OpenStreetMap: http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap.apk
Does show a Map on your smartwatch with your position with the GPS-Data of your Phone
Google Maps App (currently v1.0.9.1) in the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
Calendar Events (1.0.0):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.calendarevents
shows the current/future event of your default calendar and you can swipe to the left/right to see the next or previous Event with time and description.
WhatsApp notifier (2.1 Beta):
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchWhatsappNotifier21.apk
shows a notification from the WhatsApp application when it is installed and running with notifications enabled. (still buggy as it looks.)
Calculator (1.0.0.4):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.quickcalc.
Calculator for the smartwatch.
Thanks for all your reportings and ideas and i hope we can continue in this thread.
Great
Kudos for the thread
will continue to support ur app and report my findings
Sorry to trouble u again but could you fixed the Call log Smart Extras™ since it doesnt support ICS thanks again
TIPS: Whatsapp notifier
- If stop giving notification please disable & enable it back on the phone, also opening the app on the phone trough the watch might prevent it to notify again.
Disable & enable it back again
Thanks for your hard work!
Regarding the mail app, the "action toast button" doesn't do anything.
Also if i put my phone in airplane mode at night i get a flood of "failed to connect to server" messages. Would be sweet just to have one error which clears after the connection returns if possible.
Whatsapp notifier, don't use the open on phone option for now as it will stop alerting on new messages.
Seems as though something else stops it notifying time to time but don't know what triggers it. Disabling and enabling app fixes it.
If received two messages and both have been unread, will show an alert saying "2 new messages"rather than the actual messages. Customnotifier does the same thing so there may not be a workaround.
I'm here to continue testing at your will. Your apps will be great to end up on the market.
Cheers

can you please make an alarm clock app? [=
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but has anyone tried how well the old OpenWatch app fares with the new SmartWatch?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nwatch&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
It’s the app I used to use to sync with my outstanding MBW-150. It would capture all notifications brilliantly, maybe the code is re-usable.
Just thinking out loud… thanks and regards

The GPS google map size
Good morning beowulf, thanks again for the multitude of apps, one question, the GPS google map seems too enlarged on my smartwatch to the point that i almost cannot see the blue triangle which i assume is my location, is there a way to zoom out? thanks

The light version works with the smartwatch as well. I use it all the time. Really slick.
Hi beowulf,
The gps maps app does not work on my sgs2. It only shows a white screen. I only saw the map once for a short moment.
Hi. The loading sometimes takes a bit long.
But you can try the new version of it which will hopefully soon be available from the google market.
It is uploaded and published so look out for it. But i will hint to it as soon as i see it in the market. (I hope i am allowed to post links to my apps in the market)
It will have some new features you will hopefully like.
(You will need to remove the old version manually though)
//edit: ok. Finaly my first app in the android market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
I think i already found a bug though. It seems as soon as the app is closed and reopened on the watch that there is stil a old picture flickering. Will look at this. I would be happy if you continue to test and report bugs and ideas.
Just downloaded it from the Play Store!
Still not working though. Even the gps does not stop after closing the app.
Congratulations Beowulf6!
Thank you very much for your work.
hi Wop2k,
yes. was the same cause of my problem with the flashing screen.
i hope i finaly fixed it. I already updated the app in the market and i hope it works now for you now without a white screen.
if it is still not working i would like to know your android version.
Thanks.

What's up buddy. Glad to see you in the forum. I'm raider3bravo. I've emailed you a lot of ideas about your apk including group blocking. Keep up the great work. I'm totally digging the APK. It seems to be working fine with this device.

Yello yes thank you that would be very useful.
So what happened?
Love the app, have had it on all my devices and it runs great including on my sgs3 which is running synergy nightly w/jelly bomb domination theme
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Jelly bomb domination eh... sounds powerful.
Anyway, if you like the zpp, rate it on the store
I've been running Call Master on my last device and my new SGS3 so I can't say much for RCB...but Call Master runs flawlessly as far as I have seen.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Great... its amazing how many people say CM doesnt work because they never bother reading the instructions!
OK guys, everything good with the recent release for the S3 JB official? Feedback please!!!
Ran the paid version on my razr and now my gs3 (bakedbean rom). I love the app and haven't had any issues to date on either phone.
Review posted on the play store. Keep up the good work!

Not sure if you received my email or not but it would be nice to import blocked numbers created by your application. For example, sending my blocked list to another phone that uses your application

[WIP][FREE][ROOT]WhatsGear. Whatsapp from your wrist.

Hey xda!
Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.
CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:
View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.
Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.
View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.
Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)
View profile pictures.
View received images
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):
Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].
View received images in higher res. View videos/audio.
Last seen.
Group chats.
Start a new chat.
View / edit your own profile
Call and send SMS from contact profile ( there are buttons for it , but do nothing ).
Voice reply
Send images / videos
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).
Tizenmod.
sqlite3 installed on your phone. If you dont have it, there are apps in the PlayStore that can install it for you, or you can manually copy sqlite3 file to system/xbin from an emulator.
Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.
Reviews, bug reports and ideas are appreciated.
Hope you like it

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/

Thanks a lot...I'll take a look.
For xposed, you need to flash the Xposed flashable zip (if you have 5.0, use the SDK21 version) and install the Xposed Installer app. Both are available in the official Xposed thread for LP/MM. Just make sure you backup your system partition first.
EDIT: Can you try this build @CondomPack
(It seems there was some error finding a certain drawable resource, that's why it was crashing for you. There was no reason for that error as the drawable is present after all, so it was probably cuz of a dirty build. I did a clean build)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Y1syM7UNuDQVRPbm93M3RnaHM/view?usp=docslist_api

hi, just flashed. looks very promising. for movie lovers it will be very handy. theme is good too. visualy too very good. this is just beginning. i really hope it will improve for good......... Ameen

Link in OP fixed. You can also download directly from the Downloads tab
@CondomPack Can you try the latest version and see? Pretty sure the crashes should be fixed now.
(I figured out the exact issue and used one of two methods to fix it. If it still crashes, no need for logs, just tell me and I'll try the other method)
Movies by Flixster
Is this app work like Flixster and IMDb ? if YES can i log in with my account ? Thanks
Edited: Never mind the question above i found out already.. The app has a lot of potential, but I wouldn't release app if i can't watch trailers or write Reviews yet!! just pictures there...
Anyway keep the good work!!

Whoa thanks for the cool idea, I looked it up, and I think there's a way to access user accounts via the API allowing you to rate, review etc. Of course it is way outside the scope of the actual Nanodegree project, so it'll have to wait till the important stuff like displaying trailers and reviews is done (which is kinda easy, but I'm in the middle of exams at college so can't really put in a proper coding session these days). About that, yeah the app is pretty incomplete, but it probably seems even more so cuz I included the empty layouts and put "Coming soon..." all over the place (a bad design decision, it makes it seem even more incomplete, but whatever). As for release, well, I released the app on XDA Labs as sort of test builds, to get an idea of how the app behaves on different devices and fix specific issues that may exist (for example the one @CondomPack just helped me fix) early on. Once the app is properly done and ready for actual release, I might put it up on the Play Store, who knows

Thanks a lot for all the help (and consider updating your review on Labs )
Just wondering if the app will learn by which movies you heart and make suggestions for other movies also the heart should be shown overlayed on the movie poster once it's implemented
dude,can we dload?
Is there a download feature?

The thing about indicating favorite movies with a heart overlay is a cool idea, will be sure to keep that in mind when implementing that. (Unfortunately I have exams coming up, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get any major work done on the app anytime soon)
As for recommendations based on favorites, the API allows me to fetch movies similar to a specific movie, so yeah, I think I could do one of two things:
-Show a snackbar when you favorite a movie, with a button which shows a popup with similar movies
-create an entirely new section for showing similar movies
But first I want to implement a tablet layout and TMDb account sign in which will allow syncing your Favorites.

I don't think that will be included in the app. This app is meant to be a sort of guide to choose what movie to watch... The Movie DB does seem to provide links to a website www.fan.tv which let's you buy the movie from Amazon or buy tickets, but that's not really in the books for now. Maybe once I'm satisfied with all the planned features I might add that...
Dropped some major updates, which I think deserve a bump to the thread.
New features include search function, favorites (saved offline), dual pane layout (landscape), account login (no account features yet) etc. Check change log in OP for complete list.
As usual, I recommend downloading using XDA Labs so you get update notifications and can leave reviews.
