Hello!
I first released this app on XDA when I started developing android apps and received some really helpful inputs from community. Now, after a gap of almost 3 years, I am reviving this app with a new vision in mind! It has been written again from scratch.
To ensure existing features don't break (and flex some coding muscles), I have kept the features almost the same and rather focused on UI (material design), performance boost, etc.
{
"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"
}
In terms of features, as of now the app allows you to:
1. Shorten links using Goo.gl (more will be added soon)
2. "Always On" mode to check all URL's you access (from outside the web browser).
3. Extract (or decrypt) short URL's.
Tip: To turn on "Always On" mode select URL Ripper as your default URL manager (the links will still open in web browser of your choice). This basically allows the app to scan URL's you are visiting from outside the web browser. You can also see the extracted/decrypted link in a dialog box (under Settings)!
Currently URL Ripper supports almost all the link shortening services including popular ones like Goo.gl, Bit.ly, Is.gd, Ow.ly, Tinyurl, Y.ahoo.it, YouTube, etc. Ad-based services like adfly aren't supported.
Link to Play Store - URL Ripper (Google Play Store)
Direct Download Link (Apk - Same as store version) - Version 3.0
I would appreciate if XDA community could again chip in and share their feedback
Thanks in advance!
Good start Perryb, I need this app.
Thanks!

Mostly it is just an android wrapper for longurl.org. Demand wasn't quite there and I didn't get any real feedback, so I kinda stopped caring for it. There is one bug I wanted to fix, but I didn't get around to do it yet.

Yeah, saw that in app description. I have a different variation planned though. More of a "complete" solution with caching, sharing, etc. But then again, all of it depends on how well is it accepted and used. Also, just a thought, I didn't want to rely on a single service for link expansion. The service dies and app dies, I don't want this to happen P.S: No pun intended. Just my 2 cents.
On a side note, I do like the url catching mechanism from other application

I absolutely agree. It was just a matter of comfort for me. I didn't want to write queries for all those shortening services API. Especially since some of the smaller ones might not even have an API. Or are you making the request and checking where the return url is leading?
Sharing was a feature I had in mind as well, but I didn't get to it.
If you find something you like, feel free to use it and if you think the source code might help, I will gladly send it to you / share the repo.

You're right. The less popular one's don't have an api or even if they do, the response time is wayward. As of now reliance is on api but I have seen header request works equally well.
Thanks for the offer. I'll keep in mind. Shall ping you if need be Appreciate your offer.

Yes! Well I have though of something more for the application. I started for the first time at XDA and reviving this thread again to get things back up And xoplax should work as well! I don't see any advertisement (nor any role play of javascript in between).

The ability to select text and sharing it seems to be rare in apps for pre-Honeycomb Android versions, so this may be a problem. This app will have limited functionality in those Android versions.
Hey xda developpers,
Here's my shot at my second ad-free app, WordLookup !
{
"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"
}
What is it?
Many of you have probably heard of the popular Google Dictionary extension for Google Chrome, which allows you to double click any word on a web page to view its definition. I have found this feature indispensable to my web browsing.
Of course, it's not possible to implement something like this in Android just yet, but this app tries to imitate its functionality. There's no need to open another dictionary app to find definitions anymore!
WordLookup allows you to view word definitions easily as you browse the web, and when using apps. It does require an Internet connection to work, however.
Simply hold&select the word you wish to look up, share it with WordLookup and a small notification popup will show a few definitions for the word! It's that simple!
Here's how to use it:
1- Hold and select the word you'd like to get the definitions.
2- Select the Share button in the menu/Action Bar.
3- Share text to WordLookup.
4- The definitions should show up in a bit as a popup(Toast) notification.
Supported Apps:
-ICS Android Browser
-Google Chrome
-ICS Gmail and Email app
-Pulse
-Many,many others. More will be added in this list.
Right now, this app is only tested on Android 4.0 - Ice Cream Sandwich, as many apps on earlier versions of Android do not support sharing text, your mileage may vary, though. Some parts of the program are still very rough, as this is still a beta.
Upcoming features includes offline dictionaries, and more!
Technical stuff in a nutshell:
This app gets the shared text via an intent and uses the Knicker library to fetch definitions from Wordnik (thanks to their nifty API). It then sends the definitions to a custom Toast pop-up, which is displayed on the bottom of the screen.
Bug reports! Suggestions! Angry Hate Mails!
If there's anything, feel free to reply to this thread, or PM me.
Or you can also e-mail me at houyuchen66 [at] gmail.com.
Cool! Where do I get it?
Google play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icechen1.wordlookup
If you find this app useful, a rating would be great! Please leave your feedbacks in this thread, it really helps!
Dammnn, finally i dont need to copy paste the word anymore into some dictionnary web site
This looks like an awesome idea. Would it be possible to auto detect non-English words and auto-translate selected words using Google Translate? Thanks!

Just released a new version on Google Play that should fix these crashes, as well as implementing the native Toast look, and other fixes. Let me know if it works well now!
Question, is it better to use a Toast notification, like now, or switch to a dialog box, which offers more optimization at the expense of more obtrusiveness?

This is a cool idea, but it doesn't really function on my GB TB because the option to share text is limited (as you stated). Still, I'll be following this to see where it goes and I'll definitely give it a spin once I upgrade!
Keep up the work c:
-And a suggestion-
Do you think it would be possible to create an offline version as well and have the word lookups routed through a database in your app instead of online?
I know I'm connected to the internet via wifi and it won't connect... HTC thunderbolt on sfk almost sense 4.0/gingerbread. I could share it and everything though

Hey Meso,
Unfortunately, the limitations on GB seems to be a hard one and cannot be fixed unless the app developer(in the case of the browser, Google) updates it to add sharing, or possibly added into a ROM or something.
And an offline version are upcoming as well, once some flaws with the app gets nailed out. I'm also thinking of using Bing's traslation service to deliver translations in a future version, as well.

That's weird, but I may know why, will try to fix it in the next update. I am rather busy these days so you will have to be patient
Meanwhile, try to go on wordnik.com via your phone. It may have been blocked for some reason. Let me know if it works or not.

Since I didn't find anything, I developped my own app called CopySearch. I can't post link, but there is a thread presenting it on xda.
At the end, our 2 apps are totally different, which is fun:
same user needs + 2 different developpers = 2 apps that have nothing in common :laugh:

A handy and comprehensive reference app for mathematics, tailored to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE O Levels and other similar syllabi. A great maths study companion! Includes most formulas(you may request more!) as well as some extra tips and content!
This app is free for users on xda! It costs 0.99SGD on the market though. Please consider buying it if you like the app! It means a lot to a student like me

I built this app, by myself, from scratch, in my own free time. Yes, it's an HTML5 app. I lack the time and skill to properly do a native one.
I do not want to deprive any students(or whoever lol) who cannot buy this app of this wonderful app! You may also freely distribute(i.e. pirate) this app. However, be aware that any pirated version of this app lacks this feature: that warm fuzzy feeling that you get from purchasing this app, allowing me to buy another cup of Milo
It would mean a lot to me that if you like this app, and can afford it, please do me a favour and purchase it, or spread it around by word of mouth and get people to buy it. Take it as a donation to me. If you own a nice Android phone, surely $0.99 isn't a lot to ask for?
I am also considering an free ad-supported version of this app, but I haven't decided on anything yet, partially since I'm running into problems with Admob.
YOU MAY REQUEST ADDITIONAL CONTENT!

Naturally, I appreciate feedback on how I can make the app better, and from the developers on this forum, any advice. DO report any errors(content, bugs, language) you may have found! While I have looked through the content, I may have accidentally missed out something, and typos do occur.

Now that's really strange, it works perfectly fine for me. When I type .5 and select another field, 0.5 remains there.

That, and ads need network access as well.
Make a paid version then. Im tired of every app requesting full network access. Its completely unnecessary. At what point did we as a community accept this as the norm?
I would rather you release a free version with less functionality then a free version with ads that requires full internet access. If the app turns out to be usefull then charge a buck or two and people will gladly pay, myself included.

It is simple, as much you want to believe people can make money on android without ads, you are mistaken. Regardless of how well the app is, people are still not going to pay for it. If you find my app doing something it shouldn't, then report it. Thank you for at least looking at the app. I am sorry that it just for you. Is there anything else I could do to appease without removing the ads? There are only two ways to make money on android, people paying for them, and people using ads. Sadly, more money is still made on ads and not enough is made in paid versions. My app doesn't use the internet unless its the free version for ads. I can't thank you enough for the response. Have a great day.
I will think about what you have suggested and maybe I will remove ads and add in more pro functions. Anything you have in mind that would make this better then?

I have release Fearch. A simple file search application that indexes your storage devices then allows you to quickly display the files you want to display the most.
Please let me know what you think!

thanks for a very useful app. Note that it does not show on the play store, even when I search the store for 'fearch'. There is another app called fearch that appears to be something completely different.
in any case, I was able to download the apk and install it. but the link to the pro version launches the play store with an 'item not found' message.
Dead?
Can you explain why this app isn't available on Google Play anymore and why your website isn't working?
Is this Project dead?

INTRODUCTION
Secrecy is where you can safely put your files without worrying that others will see it... They just can't.
I am starting this project since I have tried a number of Apps for secure file storage, while not finding one that best suits my expectations:
- some, like Vaulty and Hide it pro, do not store videos securely and just stores the raw file
- most only support storing pictures and videos. I occasionally want to store word documents but can't find a way.
- some produced by major software companies are simply bloated and litters temp files everywhere... That's just as insecure as not using them.
I am aiming to produce an all-rounded one that maximizes security but still ensuring ease of use and quick encryption time.
(Tailor-made for keeping your *precious* photos(or files) from your geeky dad/mom/friends/whoever-they-are's prying eyes.)

### Welcome to Secrecy.
I believe you come from XDA or Play Store, and you are interested in helping out in our project. As you may know, I started this project off with myself, but when it gains popularity, it seems that I cannot do everything on my own. Thus help is needed badly to breath new air into this project.
### Wait, I'm not professional.
Frankly, I'm not professional too. I'm just, as you think of it, a kid with thoughts. I'm looking for all kinds of support, and you may find possible roles in the latter section.
To put it simply, no one is unfit to contribute. From newbie to experienced, everyone is welcome!
### What can I do?
At the moment, I can think of the followings:
* Translators
* Quality Assurance (Testers)
* Collaborator (Code Contributor)
* Marketing advisor
* Design and Promotion
... You name it!
### What can I make out of it?
I don't work for money. It is not possible to repay you with money. However as a contributor, you could get a life-time worth of donation package. You may message me when you are a member and I'll add you to the list.
It is practically the Google Play's testers list, that when you try to purchase the donation package, Google Play does not charge you.
### I'm in! / I wanna know more!
Please contact me at [email protected] and specify the followings:
1. Your Github username (If you don't know, here's it: https://github.com)
2. Your preferred role, if any
You could also migrate directly to https://github.com/SecrecySupportTeam and get started with the source code!

Hi,
Does your app create 'containers' like EDS on Android or Truecrypt?

Nope, it simply:
1. Finds the file
2. Copy it to "SECRECYFILES"
3. Encrypts it
4. Done!
Of course truecrypt as it name suggests, is the best crypto in the world, yet I would consider it as an over-kill solution in this problem.
Besides using them depends on deep hardware/root functions and may be incompatible for a number of devices.

i am not really sure since I use nexus 4 and it sorts of use onlt internal sd. Unaware of behaviour on other devices.
I've added it to the list of suggestions.
EDIT: I have checked, and it should always use External Storage.
Thanks =)

Awesome :good:
Also, How was the app icon done? I see alot of icons like that and thought it's a program or somewhat
Off topic:
What is that app in your activity center? Is that for adjusting the display brightness?
suggestion: An option to hide the app from the drawer, or atleast, change the app name to something less suggestive? An app named 'secrecy' would only indicate that I have something in my phone which has been hidden.

It is actually quite simple using adobe illustrator.
Here is a very neat Youtube video demonstrating this

Yea it's lux auto brightness. I've tried a number of apps to automatically adjust screen brightness but this one, so far, is the best.
Great app and also great work ..! :0 ...
Looks like someone got naughty and created this app....lol
Geat work Doplgangr! By far the best app of it's kind!
Have you ever considered open sourcing your code? Maybe to celebrate a beta milestone? :victory:
Is the source available?
This app (screenshots) looks great. Thanks for that enthusiasm and work!
Would you consider to make the source code available for that app, please?
Q: Why?
A: Some people (me too) havn't a google account and can't get apps from google play. It would be awesome to see your app in open source stores like F-Droid or somethin'. And IMHO people could trust more in your <security> app, if they have the possibility to see what it's doing, (by parsing the source). And last but not least, also some other developers could help to make that app more stable as it's already seems to be :highfive:
Thanks in advance for any response.
Nice one! I'm trying to find a nice app like this for a long time. If one could move the vaults to USB OTG storage that would be awesome!

It is really surprising to find myself on the Portal!
First, I have to thank WILL VERDUZCO for such a generous introduction even though this app is still far from polished state.
I am not disclosing the source since it is still a 7-days old project, everything is messy with TODOs everywhere and e.printstacktrace() (FYI. it is a line of code that causes apps to crash when it panicks) on almost every file you could possibly find. Thus when the project comes to maturity the source will be on github. As for security caveat, I am using encryption libraries from java, so if you trust java you can trust the app (LOL).

Ads are very disturbing, the come time to time and distracts the process we are doing. I was having a problem with it. But, today my problem is solved. Thanks for the information.
Hi,
I just discovered your app and it looked interesting so I thought I'd give it a trial run. I previously had been using the personal dns filter app which seemed to function pretty well.

Hi,
Of course this comment is SOLEY just my own comment, but for me I would like your app much better if upon booting up my phone that I wouldn't have to view the app start screen everytime. This is what I would classify as 'constructive criticism', & nothing more, I'm NOT trying to be rude in any way !
Thanks,
David

Thanks for your 'constructive criticism'. The Android os requires it (apps should appear on the screen before starting protection services).

Hi,
While I do of course appreciate your response, while I was using the previous app that I was using (Personal DNS Filter) I never had to see a starting page like your app always displays, it just booted up & displayed the shield emblem & key symbol up on my notification bar.

Thank you so much, we will try to fix it in next release.
Great app.
It lacks the ability to customize the filters and the option to let some programs access the internet without filtering (useful to see ads in games).
There is already another program with the same name (adlock.com).

Ok, we will add "adblock switch off" to firewall. Thanks for your comment. A customizes filters is a difficult opportunity for most people imho..

Hi,
At least for me it makes a HUGE difference to have positive communication between a user & the developer of an app. That's what you have been providing & I'm grateful for that, on a positive note about the app, when I open the twitch app on my phone while using your app it displays the elements within twitch a lot faster than it does than with the previous app I had been using.
Excellent now I will try it. Can you add the option to block a whole group of applications at once? thanks

So sorry to hear that, I've known for a while that google play store isn't as safe as everyone thinks that it is. I don't know if you might be interested or not, but have you heard of this play store alternative ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...fficial-oss-play-store-client-may-16.3739733/

The way I see things in life, when people help you, you try to help them as well.
The app has been renamed to AdLocker on the complaint of the copyright holder. I am sorry that we used your trademark!!!!
Hi,
Do you have any idea when the new server will be functioning, you mentioned that to me in a email message.
