Rumors and my wishlist
We May See Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie as Soon as May. Although it is unlikely to happen.
It should be a lot faster
It might have a google messaging service called "Babble"
It Could Have a Guest Mode! - No more sneaky friends messing with your phone anymore :good:
Performance Profiles - Tired of Switching off the sound, turning off data, activating airplane mode etc. Wait no more (actually you have to wait for KLP to release ) Android 5.0 Shall fix your problem..
I hope they have some way in which we can remove the skins that manufacturers put on top of android (although manufacturers are not gonna let this happen )
Multiple user account on phone (I saw this one coming)
A video chat app (meh...)
A "Never Update" option (It's "Never" Gonna Come, It will piss dev's off)
App Discount/Give away free system - A way dev's can give apps to their family and fans for a discounted rate/free
Backup Without root(My wishlist) - A option to backup all Data and system img etc. before rooting your device, so if you screw up while rooting, you are covered :victory:
A transfer system(my wishlist) - A system that allows the user to switch from iOS to Android painlessly (Syncing all contacts, transfering photos/videos etc.)
Combination of chrome OS and android - Not gonna happen. Google isn't that stupid

[APP][RELEASE][OPEN-SOURCE] The Seven+ Calculator

Seven+ Calculator for Android
The Seven+ Calculator is now open source on GitHub!
Current version: gamma two
Now introducing the custom WP7 style status bar (and the ability to disable it)!
This Calculator is now part of the Seven+ Project.
Features include history, shake to toggle vibration when a button is pressed, accent color chooser, and much more!
Please leave suggestions below, I would love to continue to improve this app!
--
Announcing the release of the first application to be part of my Windows Phone 7 User Interface for Android: Windows Phone 7 Calculator. As such it is freely available on the Android Market. This is the first public beta, so expect bugs. Your feedback is highly valued so if you wish to suggest another application for development, inform me of bugs, etc. please do so. Below is the Market description:
--
Inspired by the beauty and simplicity of the Metro User Interface, Windows Phone 7 Calculator offers an easy to use, effective alternative to the default Android calculator application. This calculator includes all basic operations (multiplication, division, subtraction, and addition) as well as advanced operations (sine, cosine, tangent, logarithms, exponentials) and more.
In the portrait orientation basic operations are displayed; in the landscape orientation advanced operations are displayed. The memory function saves a number and the preferred trigonometric mode (degree, radian, or gradian) even after the device is rebooted.
Press the menu button to be given the option to choose the preferred accent color, which will display using the fly out animation.
--
This calculator is the simplest demonstration of my Windows Phone 7 User Interface for Android. Please head over to the donate version if you would like to support development. By donating or giving a good rating on the Market I know if I am doing a good job.
Thank you for reading,
- Tom

Great app and the transition is nice. Few basic things which I would like to see in WP7 Calculator:
1. I like it when the phone vibrates when any button is pressed, like when I press the menu button for changing settings.
2. Also, the settings button should change its color when I touch it.
3. When I choose a new accent, please take me back to the calculator interface immediately.
4. Give it a good icon please, the current one doesn't look good. Give it a metro icon.
5. History of performed calculations? I miss it as compared to stock calculator.
Rest is wonderful!
Cool, thanks for the suggestions.
1, 5) I will consider these. I'd prefer not to have an entire settings page just to enable/ disable vibrations. As for history, while I haven't used a Windows Phone 7 phone to verify, from what I've heard I do not believe that it a feature of the app. If so it should not be too hard to do, but I cannot figure out how the AOSP calculator stores history.
4) Where do you suggest I get a better icon? I am using the one from the Metrostation set. I am not much of a graphic designer, so making my own would only be worse.
2, 3) I just updated my UI framework to support these features, and implemented them into my calculator. In my next release I will include these.
- Tom
May I suggest name it something other than "Windows Phone 7 Calculator" so microsoft doesn't send you a cease and desist letter.
Well I've published the previous #2 and #3 updates to the Market, go ahead and check it out.
As far as a name goes, if anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know; I not sure what to call it. However a C&D from MS is too far fetched, worst case I change the name (are they going to say that they patented the standard layout of a calculator, or rectangles with solid colors?).
If anybody has suggestions for an icon, a name, or perhaps a way to get the project more publicity it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
- Tom
Good Start for a Metro like ecosystem on Android
Thanks for this calculator... It is well done and joins the list of my other Metro like apps ...
Since you are looking for a new name, how about naming it after a Greek alphabet... for example, 'Omega Calculator 7' or something .. This makes it sound cool..
I like that name, thanks for the heads up. My next release will have quite a few changes, so a new name is suitable.
- Tom
MetroCalculator for the new name.
Also in WP7, all the accents fly in 1-by-1 not on 1 page. Just suggesting! ^_^
Thanks for your suggestion.
I have yet to decide on another name, although I would not mind one that could also be a brand, i.e. UberMusic, UberSomething... MetroSomething is already taken.
As for fly-in one-by-one, I will look into this but the layout used for choosing the theme color is part of a library project so I would need to figure out a way to do so without interfering with the Activity lifecycle.
Oh nice! Gotta try this out.

Unfortunately it looks like TheFoxute has ripped off this app (along with several other open source apps) on Google Play, with zero attribution to original authors (again). This is a well known problem with the Play store, and one reason I don't recommend using it.
So if you're looking to donate to open-source developers, know that in general "buying" from Google Play may not be supporting the developer, and worse yet, could possibly have some unwanted "extras" added by whoever changed the app and added it to Play.

Thanks for bringing this to my notice. Did not know of such cheap tricks! I will report the Play store app immediately.
EDIT: I notified both TheFoxute and the Play store support team about the infringement and the app got removed yesterday.
This badly needs an easier way to access and scroll through the records. It is so hard to tap the dots on the graph. Maybe when the info window comes up add the ability to swipe the very top to go through the records and keep the swipe at the bottom to scroll through created, deleted, changed. Or just add next and previous buttons. Also when I use the delete records from the options it does nothing, all the records are still there, and where does it save the log too also....love the concept, the UI just needs a few more options.

Thanks for the feedback!
I will be adding the UI improvements in the next version. The plot needs a refresh after data is deleted, have to fix that too.
Logging is part of the standard logcat, tag is the app package name.
Awesome, thanks. Keep up the good work.

[APP][Android 4.0.3+] Simplest Shopping List

Simplest Shopping List is my second application in the Simplest series. The first was was Simplest Reminder. I decided to make Simplest Shopping List because just like with the reminder application I could not find a shopping list application with super simple user interface. I was looking for something with minimal number of features. Basically this application is a replacement for a shopping list written on a piece of paper It is compatible with Android 4.1 and up (API 16 and up) and is styled based on Material Design guidelines.
Without further adieu I present you the Simplest Shopping List

Other info:
- this application is completely ad-free
- pro version is available and it has the ability to learn custom items, additionally it has custom items manager
- requires absolutely no permissions
EDIT:
- Lowered requirements description from 4.1 to 4.0.3
- Many improvements to functionality (removed most prompts and added undo button instead)
- list no longer jumps to top when adding, removing, carting items or undoing any of those actions
I fixed TextBox style in version 1.0.1
Polish, Italian, and Spanish translations coming soon!
Handy app. I was looking for something like this a few days ago.
Thanks
Thanks Keep it up
If you have any suggestions for my app please let me know. I will have some time this weekend so I can work on improvements.
Thanks!
Lots of changes done recently. Some of them include:
- removed advertisement
- Many improvements to functionality (removed most prompts and added undo button instead)
- list no longer jumps to top when adding, removing, carting items or undoing any of those actions
- removed all required permissions
- Pro version now available. It has the ability to learn new items. You can also manage those custom items in an easy way (add, edit, remove)
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions
I've always looked for a simple shopping list app like this. Material is nice as well.
My suggestions:
- option to show and increase/ decrease the amount of a product
- ability to make more than one list
- option to move items to seperate shops which are listed in the androidlike slideout menu (grocery store, hardware store, pharmacy, ...)
- save list(s) to sd-card for backup
- option to not only share a list but to edit it and sync it to other devices (not sure if possible)
- option to make notes for a list
- option to insert pictures to items

With all respect, are we talking about the same app? My app is called SIMPLEST Shopping List. It is not meant to be overloaded by menus, options, config screens. It is meant to be a replacement for a piece of paper. There are tens, if not hundreds, of Shopping Lists out there with tons of options, configs, menus and I dislike them all because they are too clunky and creating my list takes too many steps.
It looks very simple and useful...

[INDEX][APPs][Material Design]List of Apps with Material Design.

Hey, Welcome to the thread which contains some apps rha have material design.
First i want say that this thread doesn't contain any Google Apps(Gapps).
So Lets go
1.Action Launcher 3 Here
Sure, there’s the Google Now Launcher if you want the Googliest home screen possible, but Action Launcher gives your phone or tablet a Nexus-style look with more customization. There are plenty of icon pack choices and the QuickPage, which is a custom home screen you can get by swiping in from the right edge.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.Cabinet Beta Here
It’s had a long go in beta, but Cabinet is a pretty stable and desirable file manager with a slick, material design look. It uses the floating button well, letting you create a new remote connection, folder, or file.
3.Swift keyboard Here
SwiftKey has gone all-in on with themes, with choices ranging from the minimalist to the ridiculous (Frozen, anyone?). On the material design, front, however, there are two excellent keyboard choices that match the new design of Google’s keyboard but add in more functionality. They’re $0.99 each, but well worth it.
4.Field Trip Here
Field Trip is a clever app for when you’re traveling or just out and about and want to discover more about what’s around you. It will ping you with details about restaurants, sites of historical snippets, or other places that you wouldn’t normally pick up through just a Google search or perusal of Yelp.
5.WEATHER TIMELINE Here
It’s too rare to find a great “Android only” app that shows off the best of the platform. Weather Timeline has done this with its weather application. It also has excellent Android Wear implementation, pushing out weather alerts and putting the forecast on your watch. It’s only $0.99, so grab it and support great development efforts like this.
6.NUMIX CALCULATOR Here
The stock Android calculator does the job, and it too has a new material theme if you’re running Lollipop. But if you want something that looks great and has a few more features then go with Numix Calculator Pro. It saves your calculation’s history and swings in with additional capabilities when you swipe through the keyboard.
[/SIZE]
7.Source News Reader Here
Feedly is still undergoing a material redesign, so while you’re waiting, or if you just want to explore another alternative, check out Source News Reader.
8.LUMIFIC-Pic Gallery Here
Lumific is a beautiful photo gallery application for anyone that isn’t happy with the stock photo gallery app that comes preinstalled on their device. While there are many great features within Lumific, one notable feature is the ability to order photo prints from Lumific through Snapfish by HP. Now you can have any photo taken with your camera printed out to keep and to share. Lumific also takes similar photos and recreates them into GIF images automatically, and it now integrates with Dropbox to sync photos for backup.
9.PLAYER FM PODCAST Here
Podcasts are a great way to consume the content you love if you don’t have the ability to read it, and Player FM Podcast adds in loads of useful features for anyone looking to start listening to podcasts. To start, it’s cloud-based, which means you can listen to it across devices. It’s also equipped for offline playback so you can still listen to stuff even without a data connection. You’ll also never have to worry about not being able to listen to an entire podcast all the way through, since play history will let you resume from where you left off.
10.NOVA LAUNCGER BETA Here
Nova Launcher Betas include new features and fixes before they are released to all users. However they also are not as well tested and may not be as reliable. Betas are best for people who don't mind when things temporarily break a little bit.
11.WHATSAPP (MD)(OFFICIAL)(BETA) Here
If you've been waiting for that special day when messaging app WhatsApp could be updated with the Material Design of Android 5.0, the good news is that day is here. You won't find this update in the Google Play Store yet, no matter how hard you try.
great! thanks

[APP][4.1+] Coronavirus Outbreak Tracker

CoronaVirus Outbreak Tracker
- I was told from r/AndroidApps that I should also post my first application here, on XDA. Didn't know there was a specific thread for this, even though I've been a member of XDA for such a long time (mostly active in the custom rom area), so I thought it would be a great idea to share my app with you guys! -
- Here are some screenshots taken from the app (full quality here) -​

}
DOWNLOADS & BUGS/FEATURES SUBMISSION​
- DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL the latest official update of the application from my github page
- SUBMIT ISSUES/WANTED FEATURES on my Discord Server (recommended) or on my GitHub Repo​
This application was built with data gathered from official sources like WHO & CDC.​
FEATURES​
- access the main latest stats of COVID-19 Outbreak like number of cases, deaths and recoveries
- access the COVID-19 SELF TEST, a diagnose system which will show an estimation on how probabily it is for a symptomatic user to have COVID-19 disease. (NOTE: The test is not meant to replace specialised medical advisory)
- notice the evolution of the virus across Mainland China and the rest of the world
- check out the latest and most popular headlines about Coronavirus Outbreak, share them with your friends
- access the infection world map with detailed stats about each affected country
- get user-location based stats and prevention advice
- push-notifications about latest global/country/state statistics with selectable interval (15 mins, 30 mins etc.)
- update the UI by changing background particle settings
- in app update system​
APPLICATION PERMISSIONS​
Since you're not downloading the application from Google Play Store, you may want to know what permissions does this app require and when/where they are used, so here we go.
- Internet Permission -> Pretty obvious, it's used to gather and parse the latest COVID-19 stats, news & data
- Location Permission -> Disabled by default, users can enable it if they want to use location-based stats feature, since this uses, as you may expect, GPS Localization
- Networkstate Permission -> Used to monitor whether the application is/isn't connected to the internet, so that it will know whether to update the stats or not
That's all.​
WHY IS THE APP CLOSED SOURCE? WHY DON'T YOU POST THE SOURCE CODE?​
I have received these 2 questions a lot. The answer is that there are a lot of scammers out there in this period and I'm afraid they can modify the code to their benefit, so I won't be posting the source code, at least for now. ​
THE STORY & MOTIVATION BEHIND​
Google pulled this application twice out of Google Play Store, stating that it lacks sensivity towards CoronaVirus, which is obviously not true, since all it does is showing some actual real and official data (from WHO.INT & CDC) about COVID-19.​
As a result, I decided that instead of having a never-ending argue with Google Support & erasing more than 3 months of development (since I did everything by my own), I should post this application as it is here, without having to depend on Google.
The main purpose of this application was to help people have all the stats about CoronaVirus at a glance, on their android smartphones, but since Google did everything they could to stop this, I found myself with no other option than posting the application here, in hoping that the app will eventually fulfil its purpose.​
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT​As every major step in life takes a huge ammount of time, this application was no exception to the rule.
If you enjoy it and would like me to continue adding more features, please make sure you
DONATE & SUPPORT THIS PROJECT
Thank you!​
