Hey guys! Due to the massive amount of PM requests I've gotten for Honeycomb-specific apps, that work on Spacemoose's 3.0 build, I decided to just start this repo thread.
I desperately need a GSM Tab owner(s) to test any and all of the apps listed, so I can update each review, as far as what build each app works on, especially now that we've split into two separate Dev threads!!
Thanks to Spacemoose1 for breaking her back to get CDMA owners, and to ssserpentine for bringing GSM Tab owners, working ports of 3.0. If you haven't donated to their efforts, I'd certainly suggest doing so.
GSM Tab owners: check out ssserpentine's thread (with full Spacemoose approval) in the link provided, and don't hesitate to hit the "Thanks" button, to recognize all their hard work in getting a working port ready for your devices!!

Ok, on to the apps. I'm going to try to present this in as clear a manner as possible, giving a screenshot and brief description for each app. I encourage anyone who has found additional files (NO WAREZ PLEASE!), to please post them. Try to follow the layout I've set up, so people can actually see and know what they're downloading. The reason being is that there are a decent number of HC specific apps, but they're lacking in variety; many apps (ie. Social or News apps) manage to accomplish the exact same thing, and it sucks to download a redundant app. So, here we go guys, enjoy!
** IMPORTANT** - It's been brought to my attention that some of these apps (those that I got from the Amazon store) may require the Amazon Store app in order to install. I have NO idea why, but, PLEASE, download the Amazon apk just in case. Sorry for the inconvenience guys.

A nice app with a clean, bright UI, and accurate forecasting. It runs, no problem, and the widget is nicely rendered as well. Until we get GPS functionality, the app can't run in "follow me" mode, so just set up locations manually - it's really easy. It's a huge file though, so be prepared to lose some SD space.

Battleheart - Mika Mobile (46MB)
While not designed specifically for tablet devices, the simple fact that this game has zero on-screen controls, makes it (imo), perfect for devices like the SGT. Battleheart is a fun, involving, and surprisingly in-depth RPG/Strategy/Beat-em-up game, with a quick learning curve, very low load times, and some beautifully rendered watercolor-type graphics. This is perfect for killing time on the train or bus, and isn't graphic enough to be kept away from the kids either. At $2.99, I'd say the game is a good value. Sorry for the crummy picture... I guess Drocap isn't spectacular with action shots. The screen and characters render flawlessly!
*This app does not show up in the market, as of the Spacemoose 2.5 build, so I downloaded it from Amazon. Simply download and install the Amazon Store apk near the top of the OP, sign up for a free account, and search for the app; you won't be disappointed.
Catch Notes - Catch.com (1.54MB)
A really neat little app here, and a surprisingly deep one. Catch lets you set, tag, and share notes, pictures, videos, etc. to and from your computer, and with friends and family, via Facebook, Twitter, Buzz, and a lot more! At first glance, Catch seems to have potential to be one of those productivity apps you can't do without, especially if you're always on the go.

CNBC: Real Time for Android - NBC Universal, Inc. (3.0MB)
If you work in finance, like I do, or simply follow the markets regularly, you may have been disappointed at the lack of a good, comprehensive market app. Now that we have 3.0 on our Tabs, those worries can end; CNBC: Real Time gives you full market coverage (and can be customized to suit your needs), a real-time stock ticker, market news from across the globe, and a nice, compact widget for your homescreen. I've been using the Scrollable Stock widget app for a while now, and I've tried Bloomberg and several others, but I have to say that this app trumps them all. It's available in the market if you search for it, but in case you can't find it, or your pre-release GSM build doesn't have the market included, the apk is below. Go get it, you've got a real blue chip here!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/downloadfile-1.apk
CNN App for Android Tablet - CNN (1.47MB)
The CNN app is, by far, the most flawed app on this list. It's really disappointing because the market screenshots look gorgeous. Trying to launch the app from the drawer will get you a force close every time, but it's made up for by having a really slick, auto-scrolling stack widget, that WILL allow you to access news articles, as long as you have an active internet connection. If you have a CNN account, you can log in and post comments to your articles of interest as well. Can't wait for full functionality!

DroidIris - Alexandre Delattre (298.26KB)
This app may end up making it into my list of "must-haves", I like it that much! Listen, how annoying is it to search for images on Google??! It's kind of a process, and scrolling down, through pages of irrelevant junk is just tedious, right!? DroidIris solves the issue, by acting as a one-stop-shop for searching, not just Google, but Bing, Yahoo, and other browsers, for the best web-based images and photos. The UI is smooth and sexy as well, with fly-in/out transitions, and quick searching. You might just find yourself never using your computer to look for pictures ever again!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/org.droidiris-4bd62af2bbfd52efa09d01c70ddd43b2.apk
Etch n Sketch - PX Inc. (572.73KB)
For those of you who tend to wax nostalgic from time to time, here's a blast from the past! I remember wasting countless frustrating hours, attempting to "master" the Etch-a-Sketch, as a child, and now I can live out that early childhood trauma all over again! This app, while not Honeycomb specific by any means, could prove fun, especially if you have young kids. Road trips, grocery shopping, or "staying out of your hair", while sitting on the couch, this app could end up saving you headaches... unless you feel like taking your Tab back, and attempting a masterpiece of your own... then, all bets are off!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.px.sketch-b92fda86a59300fe89cff2a8edbecd36.apk
File Manager for Tablets (GoAruna) - Aruna Labs (3.6MB)
Ever wonder what would happen if Dropbox and Root Explorer got together and had a kid? Well, this is it; Aruna Labs has cooked up a file management app that (with a free web account), will allow you to seamlessly back up your files online. No more searching for an apk in Root Explorer, then sending it to Dropbox, and waiting for it to upload... GoAruna does it all from one interface! The free online account gives you 2GB of space, and expanded, paid options are available; I will personally be using this to store zip files from my psx emulator, since they don't run on Honeycomb. This will allow me to quickly free up at least another 1.5GB of SD space, and could do the same for you! Free in the market, but the apk is right here! Enjoy.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/file.manager.tablet.goaruna-1.apk
File Manager HD (Honeycomb) - Rhythm Software (1.07MB)
A nicely designed file manager app. If you're used to Astro, you'll probably love this. With cut, copy, paste, and cancel process options, and a couple different views to choose from, navigating your files is a breeze! It's nothing mind-blowing... it does what it's supposed to, and does it while looking good!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/File%20Manager%20HD_1.1.4.apk
File Station Tablet - Farago Software (551KB)
The third, and final file manager I plan on covering here, but that is no indication as to File Station's relevance on this list. While it doesn't give you the online storage options that some others do, what FS brings you is a clean, simple UI, easy navigation, drag and drop options (much more convenient than copy and pasts, imo), and a visually appealing interface. If you've been a long-standing fan of Astro, I highly suggest looking into this; it just works, and works well! Free in the market, and as always, the apk is below!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.farago.filestationtablet-1.apk
FriendCaster Tab for Facebook - Handmark (8.54MB)
I know you love that background don't you?! Right, this app was one of the first ones I found, and I absolutely love it! It runs smooth, has a clean, customizable UI, lets you comment, like, and view updates all in one spot. Best of all, it doesn't force close like the stock app is very prone to do. My only complaint it that the auto-scrolling stack widget is a bit too small, but in my opinion, this is a must have app!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/FriendCaster.apk
Google Body - Google Inc. (17.02MB)
It's hard to go wrong when downloading a Google app, and this is no different. Body is fantastic to play around with, and the fact that you basically have a human anatomy book in the palm of your hand, is just ridiculous. That said, unless you're a pre-med student, or just love messing around with random apps, you'll probably never find a viable reason to use this. It still looks cool though!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/Body_1.0.apk
Grocery iQ - Tablet - Coupons.com Inc. (8.80MB)
Initially, I only downloaded and tested this because it's a Honeycomb specific app; I don't really have a use for it, but I have to say, I might give it a go. The layout is clean, and easy to navigate, you can get location specific coupons for a plethora of different items, and you can create quick, customized shopping lists (with product pictures and other options) for each store you shop at! In the end, I decided to include this because 1) it works flawlessly, and 2) because I KNOW somebody out there is going to get very excited about having this app on their Tab!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.coupons.GroceryIQ.Tablet-1.apk
Maxthon Mobile for 10" Tablet - Maxthon (2.20MB)
Maxthon browser was something I'd never seen before, and seeing as how they made a tablet specific (albeit NOT 3.0 specific! ) version, I decided to give it a whirl. The layout is a bit lacking, especially when compared to Dolphin Browser HD, or even the stock browser, but the browser's real strength lies (imo) in its homescreen interface, which boasts 42 fully customizable quick links. The general UI is surprisingly good, and seems to have clearly been designed for thumb navigation, with important functions just off the edge of the screen, for easy access. I'm going to stick with Dolphin HD for now, mainly because I'm used to it, it's fast, and the new Fire UI (in blue of course) looks fantastic with Honeycomb, but I do have to say that I'd love to see some of Maxthon's layout configurations become standard for tablet specific browsers.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/mbt10.apk
News360 for Tablets - News360 LLC (1.69MB)
Snappy, versatile, and clean, News360 really does the job! The layout is nice, and navigation is intuitive and interactive (fly-in animations, full screen previews, etc.). The ONLY drawback I see to this app is the fact that the stack widget is huge, at 4x5, and doesn't seem to like to always stay active. Nonetheless, this app is stellar... another one I'd add to my "must haves" list.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.news360.news360tablet-1.apk
Newsr - Locomo Labs (239.86KB)
Newsr looks simplistic and unassuming, and you know what... it is. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. Here's the premise; sign in with your email address, and get all your RSS feeds beamed down to your Tab. The app does just that, but choose a feed, click on an article, and then hit the little "eye" icon in the upper right, and the related article flies in instantly. The lack of load times is always important for anyone on the go, but if you use another app, like my6sense, you may not find a use for this app. It's solid, but needs to be a bit more dynamic to catch my attention.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/NewsrHD_Legion.apk
Plume for Twitter - LevelUp Studio (1.92MB)
The artist formerly known as Touiteur, Plume resurfaced with a new UI, boasting a good amount of customization options. While not Honeycomb specific, they have altered the layout and UI to be tablet friendly, and it shows. The premise is basic... read your friend's tweets, leave your own, get direct messages, yada yada... but at least you can look good doing it. In my opinion, Plume isn't going to blow you away (the widgets are Sense-like scrollable widgets, and don't take advantage of the new technology or hardware real estate), but it's a nice app, with some nice features.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/Plume.apk
Tablet Wallpapers - Mobile Spy (2.70MB)
I know how frustrating it is to have a shiny, "new" SGT with Honeycomb, and not being able to find wallpapers that fit well in landscape mode. Zedge has a couple, but not many, and searching online is a crapshoot, both in terms of quantity, and quality. Tablet Wallpapers solves the issue, by delivering nothing but top-notch, high quality wallpapers, designed specifically for landscape mode tablets. I can't say enough about this app... the UI is slick, the search options are vast, and the wallpaper quality is stellar. If you want a replacement for your old wallpaper app, go get this... you'll love it!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.tabletapps.wallpapers-1.apk
TuneIn Radio - TuneIn Inc. (1.30MB)
Another of my favorite "on-the-go" apps here. TuneIn gives you a plethora of radio options, from sports to music, politics to food, and it's free!! Yes, there is a paid version in the market as well, but I don't personally need it. I can get my ESPN Radio shows in the morning, on my way to work, and catch my Seattle Mariners broadcasts at night, so I'm a happy camper. If you're on the go a lot, and want a little variety in your life (TuneIn offers language-specific broadcasts as well!), check this out! No need to pay subscription prices for satellite radio, when you've got everything you need in the palm of your hand!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/tunein.player-2.apk
Tweetcomb - Locomo Labs (281.71KB)
Like the name suggests, Tweetcomb was designed specifically for Android 3.0, and it shows! With an attractive UI, intuitive interface, and some nice customization options, this app does Twitter the way it was meant to be done. Look, an app has to be good when the only flaw I can find with it is that it doesn't have a widget ! Hopefully, Locomo will take care of the issue though. Another A+ app!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/BlackDroidTweetComb11.apk
WeatherBug for Honeycomb - WeatherBug by Earth Networks (2.46MB)
Get f'ing excited, because I know I am! This app was ripped straight from the SGT 10.1 system dump, but I couldn't get it to work until today. As such, it was a last-minute inclusion to the list, and I have to say, one of my personal favorites. With the AccuWeather app clocking in at a mammoth 46MB, while WB is only at 2.5MB, it makes it a no-brainer for me, as far as storage space goes. Not to mention.... look at that UI!!! It's clearly custom made for Honeycomb, and I'm really glad I got it to run (again though, no GPS means no "follow me" functionality). Adding locations is a breeze, and if there's one real complaint I have, it's that the widget is awful, especially when you see the care that went into designing the UI.
**To get the app to run without force-closing, go to the main Settings menu, and click on Location and Security. Then, click the "Google location search" box, and when the pop-up window comes up, tap Disagree. Then go into the app, and in the pop-up box, uncheck the bottom option (I believe it's an "Enable Location" option; you can leave the background updates on, and the app should run just fine.**

Webport HD: Travel and Hotels - Webport.com (1.40MB)
Do you travel a lot, or are you planning a vacation for the family? Don't spend extra time scouring website after website, comparing airline and hotel prices, because Webport HD will do it for you! Designed specifically for Honeycomb, Webport HD brings you a super nice, all-in-one search engine for both airfare and lodging, allowing you to instantly compare locations and rates, and make the best decision quickly. While you can't book flights or rooms directly through Webport, they do provide the contact information to you, so you can get on the phone and make reservations, while looking at the information on your Tab! The UI is simple, and getting search results is accurate and fast... what more could you want?! We live in an age of convenience people, why would you want to waste more time than you have to? If you're a travel nut, get awesome with Webport!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/webport.com-1.apk
Wizz (Colorize Widget HD) - SnowBEE (1.1MB)
SnowBEE has brought us great widget packs before, but I have to say that this takes the cake. Formatted exclusively for Android 3.0+, Wizz brings your social networking and agenda widgets to the next level! While this IS a trial version (Pro version is in the works), and can be found in the market for free, it offers such a nice variety of widget designs, that it's almost impossible not to recommend this app. I do have some issues with the themes not sticking, and (up until last night) all the widgets, with the exception of the calendar, would set off the "Strict mode" red border in this build. With that issue corrected now, the widgets look and perform flawlessly, and will give an added dimension to any homescreen. I have no qualms about saying that I WILL be purchasing this when it goes Pro, but until then, the free version does the trick.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/ColorizeWidgetHD1.4.1.apk
**If you too need a fix for the red border, check the post from ssserpentine, below. This solution worked instantly for me, and I've had no issues since!**

Just try to follow my formula if you can, with a pic of the app screen, and your thoughts on its functionality etc. That's it guys... thanks for stopping bye, and again a huge thank you to Spacemoose1, without whom, our Tabs would still be stuck in the dark ages!

I didn't think so, since I got the majority of them off of the Amazon Market for free and the apk downloads I got elsewhere were double-checked against the official listings in the Android Market, so everything should be good. I certainly don't want to be posting paid apps, so if you let me know which one you're talking about, I'll take it down right away!!

Thanks a ton for this.
No problem guys. I've been following Space's thread since the day it went up, and I've seen how excited everyone is getting, but honestly, it kinda sucked to have a shiny new UI, and no good apps to put on it, nor the market access to get them. Having a few of these apps on my Tab makes it more usable on an every day level, for me anyway. Considering the only 3.0 app w/ widget that made it into the build was YouTube (which is broken for me), I wanted something more... something that could really show off the firmware, so I went apk hunting, and decided to spread the wealth. I hope you guys enjoy what I've found so far!
thx a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot !!!!
now i'm waiting for GSM version
like i said in PM, really great! nice and thorough
thanks again
It's my pleasure guys, really. I want everyone's first Honeycomb experience to be a good one. As soon as I get a couple more "every day" apps posted (and as soon as we get audio into a build), I'll start testing a couple of games. We might be stuck on that though, since a lot of the very best games seem to be Dual Core (Tegra) reliant, but I'll check.

Yeah, I tried installing the books.apk from both the Xoom and SGT 10.1 dumps, but no luck I'm going to rip the one out of my Liquid Gingerbread build next, and see if it will fire up. YouTube has been hit or miss for me, honestly. I can't launch the app directly, without getting a fc, but the widget does work, and will take you to the appropriate video, and yes, the UI looks fantastic! I can't wait for full functionality! That's another issue though... I haven't been able to get video to play reliably at all (have Flash 10.3 installed too), but I'm sure Space will get everything sorted.

Didn't even realise there were 10.1 dumps Haha. I know there's a 1.1.4 version floating around the internet, but when the Xoom dump leaked, I looked inside and everything was a Tablet variant. Haven't looked since, but maybe that could gibe some clues.
Possibly one of the things I'm looking forward to most is that wall of videos It looks fantastic. I'm sure they'll all be ironed out in future builds, burning guess GSM support is taking full priority.

Yeah, it seems Space is really pushing hard to get a GSM build out of repo and on to the download page! It looks like Alpha 2 isn't even going to drop for GSM though, since Space is working on the next release, and she said that she'll try to release both v3 versions at the same time. I'm hoping audio and GPS at least get ironed out in the build, but we'll see. The suspense is part of the fun of flashing alpha builds!
And I agree, the YouTube carousel is (imo) one of the best UI overhauls I've ever seen! I can't wait to actually play with it!
**Oh, and the 10.1 dump is from I/O... I found it a couple weeks ago. It's really similar to the Xoom, but with extra apps (gotta love Samsung bloatware!). The only reason I downloaded it was to post it on Space's thread, in the hopes that she could use it in her builds. If you want it though, I can throw it up here for you.
App Update
**Added 3 new apps to the OP; Catch Notes, DroidIris, and Etch n Sketch**
# Fuze will be included as soon as our devices get data connectivity, since the app requires a phone number to use.
Important update in op!
It was just brought to my attention by luke1333 that some of the apps listed, may need the Amazon App Store app in order to install properly. I'm totally bemused by this, considering they ARE apk files after all. Even though I did get some of them from the Amazon store, I was not expecting the files to have Amazon specific permissions!!
In light of that development, I've added the required apk to the TOP of the OP. Sorry if that issue has caused anybody any inconvenience.

Was hoping you didn't mind me posting, since it is your thread. And FYI, Wizz looks sweet. Playing with it now.
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 there,
I've recently developed a 9Gag application for Android - iGag -, as I've switched from my iPhone to my Android Phone i felt the need for a good application to browse with.
I had previously developed the first 9Gag app for the iPhone (iGag, hence the name), and I tried to port most of the features I felt necessary such as comments, offline mode and like/dislike. Although I previously used InfiniteGAG, I thought it lacked a bit on the feature and presentation side.
Here's a list of the most relevant features:
Hot, Trending, Vote, Random and Favorites Gags sections.
Fully zoomable High-Resolution images.
Fullscreen Mode
Holo Interface
Login on 9Gag
Like and Unlike images
Autologin
Caching for offline browsing!
Caching in background for usability purposes.
Google Play - iGag
Hope you have the time to test the application, and I'd be glad if you could give in your input to help improve the app as much as possible.
P.S. Recently added Jelly Bean support, "might" be a bit unstable!

By the way, if Apple sues you for the i in iGag, send him trucks of one cent coins this time. LOL kidding xD
Cool app, can't login thou
you gotta do sth about it
cause 9gag doesn't signup with email anymore
Pretty cool. The UI is very well designed and it is fast! I think everyone should try this if they read 9gag
Thanks for the work.
Ive been using this app for a month, and gonna give five stars as the result :thumbup:

Love it... Can you put a loading sign for the pictures that loading? Like the one in nine
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
The UI is too cramp. Is it possible for the save button etc to appear ONLY when the picture is click?
I will try to sort out a better interface for all the functionality associated with the Gags themselves.
As far as not being able to Sign up, check the intructions on the login screen, you can still signup by e-mail if you're not logged in to facebook on your browser and you go to their sign up page.
I will try to add the Facebook login as I had it on the iPhone version aswell.
Hey, nice app!
But I am missing a loading sign at some points, too. I was a bit confused when i "clicked" and nothing seemed to happen.
Another idea: When you click an icon, it could change its color, like getting brighter or sth., so you see instantly what you clicked, in case you clicked wrong.
Anyway, really cool so far!
//edit: i like the idea of an easier facebook login, too
Hey there andryyyy, you mean a loading sign on which button clicks? Save button?
Glad you enjoy it nevertheless
Perfect app
Way better than infinite gag
Btw get rid of i something like gag droid, droid gag would be good

Wow, the sheer number of 9Gaggers here is astounding. I bet not one of you knew Slenderman before that stupid Slender game was made. Did you know your community has been the most hated community on the internet since eBaums? I wish those newfags on /b/ just DDOS'd your site.

I think it's like Nine - 9gag for android, but Nine has a bit better design and handling in my opinion
loving the caching feature! really helpful.
comments are awesome too.
app is sluggish while loading (but who cares).
app closes when entering another app (i usually 9gag, and whatsapp at the same time, i notiiced that it closed itself when i entered whatsapp and then got back to it)

Hello all,
I spent my summer of 2013 developing my first Android app- NetLive.
It allows you to monitor your internet data transfer rate while also showing the app that is using the most data at the current moment. It runs both in the notification drawer or as a widget, so you always have access to your transfer rate information.
I stopped development for awhile, but these past few months I have been hard at it. Initially I was only going to update it to support Lollipop, but I ended up basically rewriting the whole thing to address the main gripes many users had.
Unfortunately, I had to drop support for Android versions before 4.3 because it was causing many users serious issues. Basically, I am using four API calls that may work on Android versions prior to 4.3, but it is not guaranteed. As a result, in previous versions of NetLive I was using a hack to get around this, but it was causing major battery life issues for some devices. It was a tough decision, but I think the best move was to drop support for those users that were getting a bad experience. For those curious, the API calls I am referring to are from the TrafficStats class: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/TrafficStats.html
Particularly these four methods: getTotalTxBytes, getTotalRxBytes, getUidTxBytes, and getUidRxBytes. These methods all give the warning: "Before JELLY_BEAN_MR2, this may return UNSUPPORTED on devices where statistics aren't available." JELLY_BEAN_MR2 is API level 18 which is Android 4.3.
All feedback you can give me is much appreciated:

Thank you very much for your input. I want to improve this as much as I can over time, so your idea has been noted.
Thank you.
downloaded and will test
damn its showing me alot of apps using data that I didnt even know was using ;
endomondo, clock widget, facebook, steam, etc etc!
suggestions :
1. Make the ICON (Notification area) a bit more polished
2. Maybe a row of icons to indicate the other apps using data, rather than 1
3. No such thing as Idle state?
4. Total : Up : Down doesnt really mean much if its a dumb user
5. Don't think you need 3 decimal points.. such as 20.xxx

jcsy, I was very surprised as well to discover apps that were running in the background.
1. I agree the notification icon can improve. My friend is the designer and I will talk to him about this.
2. For the widget, notification drawer, or both?
3. What do you mean by idle state? Do you mean that if no app is using any data, no app should be displayed? If so, I agree.
4. This is true. It is difficult to use wording that is both to the point and meaningful. There is only so much real estate. But I agree.
5. LOL, yeah, it is a bit overkill. I will look into this, at the very least making it customizable. I left that in their to make the point to users that the data monitoring is quite accurate. Also, if users set it GBps, nothing will shows if I do not have those decimal points. But I do hear what you are saying.
Thank you very much for your very specific input.
1. the notification area, which is what I added
2. notification area. I meant as in ; kbps (Steam) into kbps (Steam / Whats app / Facebook ) ?
3. If no app (whch looks like unlikely because I was staring at that god damn thing for 30 minutes) and discovered that its NEVER IDLE... unless I off the data altogether
4. How about Download/Upload? lol yes, i know its hard
5. I tried a few settings ; kbps,mbps,kBps etc and got fed up. too many decimal points, lol... its not a F1 race (with decimal timing is important ) but yea, can see how accurate the thing is
keep up the work

Thank you for the clarification. This is a 1.0 product, so look for updates very soon.
Verrrrrryyy interesting app! I, too, have seen apps using network that surprised me. My suggestion: keep track of apps' network usage and let me see a table of usage over the last 5 minutes, hour, day, etc. Maybe more granularity and the ability to see a particular app's usage over time in a paid version of the app? But even without these features, it's a cool app. TYVM
Thanks, any chance you can add 3.2+ compatibility? Honeycomb is often overlooked but shares quite a few pieces with ICS. Thanks anyway, gonna try that on my One too.

My hope is that I will be able to make this app 2.3+ compatible. I only had so much time this summer, but 2.3+ compatibility is definitely on the list of things I need to do. After all, it still makes up 33% of Android devices.
Nice app. For the dumb user like me, you should write out the unit of measurements settings. Not everyone knows the difference between MB and Mb.
I world like to "open" the app, so not using the notification or widget.
Hey man, nice app, but can you add a feature that shows the Total Data Consumption of an Application?
I play some Online Games on my phone, and I would like to see how many Accurate MBs did I spent for each game sessions I make. Why? Cause I only have a limited data plan..
And when I ran the app, it consumes on an about 19MB on RAM. Is this normal? Cause I only have 301MB RAM (150 RAM Unused), and having a 19MB running app is quite big...
Thanks mate!!
Really nice and cool app!!

Many users have requested data usage logging, I will definitely explore this feature. As for the RAM, this is not an unusual amount for the app. It is higher than it should be though. I wanted to release this before school started and I did not have as much time for optimization as I wanted. I will be optimizing this app more as soon as I can. Thank you for your input.

Also, I have gotten some love for my app from a few tech sites. I think they do a great job of conveying what my app is about. If you are on the fence about trying my app, give them a read

I have started school and I am not able to devote as much time as I want to NetLive, but I am working as much as I can and determined to get Gingerbread support. I have made progress, but there is still more to be done.
If you have a Gingerbread device, and a little bit of time, I would greatly appreciate some volunteers to help test my app.
Let me know if you want to and I will PM you.

Many XDA users requested this, and I now use a low priority notification (like Google Now), which is available on Android 4.1 and up.
Especially since Google removed the arrows that display on the WiFi and cell indicators when data is being transferred. I think my app is now even more useful. You can now quickly tell if data is being transferred.
Feedback is greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoy your experience.

Pierra is able to apply the styles of famous painters such as Picasso, Pierre, da Vinci onto your images, turning them into unique pieces of art.
Play Store Link
There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, so please let me know if you find any bugs or if you have any suggestions. Your feedback is extremely valuable. Thanks!
Edit: Just wanted to let you guys know that I have release an update(1.09) with cache implementation and a slider to control the effect of filters on the source image. Many people have been informing that the filters are too strong, so I hope this will solve that problem. And thanks a lot for all the support and feedback!
@tech96
Hi
Great work! Good filters, smooth UI and crisp photos on the endline. Keep up the good work. :good:

PoseidonKing
It looks / works great, looking forward to more filters!!
Definitely not my kind of app, but works OK. The best thing I see about it is that it doesn't need internet connection to work - unlike the more famous competitor's app. Big plus for caring about users' privacy.

I am not asking for the permission in my manifest , but I am using tensorflow library and for some reason, it is asking for the READ_PHONE_STATE. Here is the log from the merged manifest

Haven't planned anything like that at the moment. If the app gets popular though and if there is a demand for the desktop version, then sure.
Hey, I have your other app (Batch Uninstaller) from the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo. And now I notice another one of your apps gets featured on XDA the same day. What a coincidence. Anyways, good job on both!

My guess is since its still new it might take some time to move the app up the ranks. For me, I can see the app when I search Pierra but after 15-20 apps. Hopefully, that will improve with time. Searching for the app via the package name shows it instantly though - com.saha.pierra
Wow... exciting!!!
Would be great if the app were able to edit 360° photos keeping the resolution and the 360° tag
Looks good man thanks for your work !
