This is a beta at the moment, because I only have a limited device pool and testing the app on friend's phones resulted in some workarounds. The app will be released on Play Store after the beta is over for a few bucks, but I will post new free, full featured and ad free versions here from time to time.

Can we have a dark theme on the next update please? I love it as it is but i would like it if it came with a dark theme too
Best app in recent times.
hope addition of much more feature
the app looks great and works great but I would like to use it as a replacement for stweaks.
is it possible to make the program read the costume kernel options like stweaks does?
Thanks for the feedback

I'm thinking about a way to add custom kernel tweaks for a long time without just implementing it directly in the app and so removing a potential income for kernel developers.
Tracking down this problem is the number one priority on my to do list.

Some developers are creating own apps to control these parameters. I was working on kernels too (way back in the htc desire and a bit in the Optimus 2x/G2x time) and instead of asking for donation, some developed a app to control these settings. These could buy you a drink for the work and the supporter got a nice app in return.
Implementing it for free would subvert a income for a developer. Ok some devs creating an app for free and don't take donations too. But others not and I don't want to piss anybody off. So I'm thinking about a extremely easy to programm plugin interface (think of it as DashClock extensions). I'm not sure how good it will be possible nor if it's possible at all, but I will work on it and I hope I will find a way.
(Plus it saves me a lot of nerves. Implementing this stuff and testing it on every device with min and max values, possible steps etc. I would call this a pretty severe pita.)
Update 4:
Fixed threading issues
fixed some more force closes
fixed the spinner issue (setting a item without a change by the user)
DashClock extension

Im still not getting it. Apps like stweaks and extweaks do exactly what i am talking and are avilable for free in the app store and i dont see any kernel devloper being angry. Also there is no need to implement steps and values since they are all contained in the kernel itself (perhaps in xml format or something close)
dam i just downlaoded and installed build 3!!! :L will update now :L

Nope. Everything ist hard coded in the apps. Like which values are possible, what is the safe range of a parameter (vibration strength could kill your vibration motor up if bad programmed). There are a huge number of custom parameters in every custom kernel. I could only support selected interfaces on selected devices like trickster mod. I don't want to do this. This is plain pita and I would neglect a huge device base.
Instead I will create a extension which other developers can use and add the parameters with save values etc. This is imo way better than to hardcode everything in one app.

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.",

}
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!

That is coming in a future version! Right now, it's mostly a proof-of-concept. Is the app working fine on your phone, however?
Can anyone with a Gingerbread, or previous version of Android confirm if this app works in these versions?
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.

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:

Yeah Facebook Chat Heads cannot be tracked by Aptrax. This is because Aptrax is only able to track foreground apps, while Facebook Chat Heads is more of an overlay over another foreground app.
Regarding Chome and Now, they are not being tracked because they are System apps, and at the moment I'm only tracking User apps. Will be fixing this issue in v1.2 though, you can expect it very soon.

It would be awesome if you could backup a list of installed apps and maybe save it in the cloud or email it. This could come in handy when flashing new roms or changing devices.

Good and useful app, but in my opinion there are too many wakelocks that prevent deep sleep: about 1 every 10 seconds with low tracking frequency.
Could it be possible to improve it?

Hey stiven, glad to see you like the app. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a device can only go into deep sleep when the screen is turned off right? If that is the case, Aptrax does not prevent deep sleep, because its service gets stopped on screen off, and starts again when the screen is turned back on.
When testing the application I made sure that it never caused any form of wake locks on the several devices I tested it on, and monitored it through Wakelock Detector. It never showed any sign of wake locks or battery drain.

- Minor fixes
1.0.2:
- Add Android L and Gingerbread support
- Few improvements
This is great ! However, is there any known issues when disabling those logs (except for developers wanting those logs of course) ?

Sure it reduces some CPU cycles, but i think you would not be able to notice it.
The biggest performance drain for logging does usually not come from the act of outputting the message itself, but from the effort that happens before an app logs something, like calculating debug values or extra calls. Disabling the logging from Syslogd only remove the last step of the chain. Apps will still keep logging, it just won't be printed into the log buffer.

True only for <Android4.1 Since 4.1 apps can only read their own log output.
I don't mean to attack you, the idea was well intended, but i don't see the benefit of doing this and it adds the huge downside of not being able to catch crash stack traces in the log which would help developers fix bugs.
Kinda like those custom kernels that come with logging disabled, just does more harm then good.

Thank you for this app! Once a day I do some cleaning for my Android, and every time there are tons of logs and other ****, your app blocked some of them, but is there any chance to block them all?

Sorry, but no it didn't. This app prevents the creation from logging (sockets?) at /dev/log (currently). These are not items that are picked up/cleaned, they can't be deleted anyways as they are not files but sockets iirc.

Dark3n, firstly thank you taking the time write this feedback.
Actually i don't agree with you about the biggest performance drain, this is relative and may depends on the device hardware but i think disk i/o operations are usually more expensive/slower than cpu calculation operations.
Anyway crash stack trace is the most important thing to be reported, and the developer shouldn't keep debugging informations on their App release, one of the reason i used to put those precious Proguard lines on my Apps:
Code:
-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
public static *** d(...);
public static *** v(...);
public static *** i(...);
}

True i'm aware non Root/System Apps can read only their own logs starting from JB, but we can't ignore the other type of Apps and older OS versions.

Yes, it may break some parts of bug reporting, but the user can still enable them anytime he needs to do that, and the developer does not need to rely on the logger for the bug reports, he can catch the stack trace and report it without the need of logcat (with Acra, Google Analytics or any other bug reports tool).

They are a special files and they can be deleted.
Should this app stop adb logcat as well? Because it didn't on my GS4 GPe running stock (4.4.4) rooted firmware.
Just installed on LG G3, no problems so far, cool as no custom kernel for this phone yet

Yes it should, disconnect your device and try again.
@wanam i cant find any option to save the settings after disabling logs on my gingerbread device. when i press back button it says 'do u want to quit without saving configuration?' but no save option there.
Congrats on your new app wanam mate, a very good and promising one! thanks for your work :good:
I tried this app today on my lg g3 and I noticed my temps running 105+ degrees. So I tried re checking all the boxes and temps went back down to low 90's. I tried re-downloading the app, rebooting with same results.
Anybody else seeing this issue?
i presume this would hamper law enforcement's ability to gather some sorts of evidence from your phone...
Kernel Toolkit allows you to manage kernel settings on your rooted device. This app is a solo effort, my main goal is to simplify kernel tuning and provide a clean looking modern UI with the lovely new material design.
The app is stable, however not entirely feature complete. Expect frequent updates with new features. I wanted to get the basics working and published as soon as possible, to get feedback and all bugs worked out.
Currently it provides all the fundamental settings for kernel tuning. There are several other features that are currently in development that will be added very soon.
Development Update
- The app is ready to be translated to other languages. If you'd like to see the app in your language, please let me know via posting or PM. I will send a auto-translated set of strings to someone who speaks the language to make revisions. The process is very fast and the app will be updated promptly. new
- Before you leave a poor rating in play store, please let me know what I can do to improve the app. This app is the result of listening and responding to feedback and criticism, I take all recent feedback into consideration during every update.
Features
- Live device stats
- Time in cpu states with custom references
- Adjust kernel settings:
- Cpu governor
- Cpu governor parameter control
- Gpu governor/max frequency
- I/O scheduler

Recommended settings for Lollipop
The following are changes I made on the stock kernel on my GPE m8
- multicore power savings: enabled (1)
- minfree settings: medium
Default minfree settings on lollipop are very aggressive. If you have at least 1 GB of RAM you should lower the values.
This looks nice man!
I get FC upon the opening of the app and I tried to clear cache and data for it and it's not working for me.
I send the report through the google, if you didn't received it let me know how and I try to redo it again, might help you find the problem.

Hi there.
thank you for your app,but i keep getting Fc on my m8 running ARH34 and elementalx kernel.
pls fix this.
thanks.

Looks great, I'm gonna try it right when I get home
Hey guys, thank you guys for reporting the FCs.
These are very simple bugs to fix i'll try to get an update out later today.
This was sort of expected with release as this app can't be tested on an emulator since the emulator has no kernel files. Please bear with me and don't give any bad ratings in the play store just yet!

Just tested on my Galaxy S4 running CM12 and it FC'd. Hopefully fixed in next update, looks good from the screenshots though!
Okay update has been pushed out. Should be in the play store within an hour or so.
Most FCs have been fixed. In some cases I did a temporary work around until I figure out whats going on on some devices system files.
There is one issue on some devices thats causing a crash when reading the min/max frequencies which is strange because they should be the same on all devices. Its possible this is caused by missing busybox installation. You can install it via playstore if your rooted. If your still getting FCs and are familiar with ADB cmds, I may need your help by running a few cmds to look at your device files. I might make a debugging apk that reads your system files if anyones willing to help out. I'll keep you guys posted.
Until then stay with me my #1 priority right now is to get this working on all devices!

pin apps/tasks/documents to access them quickly from any screen and app
jump quickly to your most recent task
or your whole tasks history
doesn't restart your tasks under Lollipop like similar apps
[ROOT] Disable the app-switch-delay
extremely customizable
smooth & cool animations
Material design
integrate your browser in PinTasking to:
easily pin your browser whenever you open a link
collect / preload links without to leave an application
quickly share or open links in another app
works with nearly all browsers

Gadget Hacks made a short review of the alpha version:
Is there any way to make it not hafta require rooot on 5.0+?? Or is that not feasible? Thanks!
thank you very much

It's possible with some limitations:
- no preloading / preopening (Quick opener mode) of webpages
- a click on Evernote, Google Docs and etc. will bring you to the latest document or screen of this app and maybe not to the document you actually pinned
- a few apps may reinitialize and lose text in input fields, scroll progress and etc. after switching to them
I'll implement a non-root mode if there're enough interested people that are okay with this limitations.
btw:
PinTasking is live on the Play Store:
wow, you added even more options!
nice update

Okay, I'll implement a non-root mode before or after the full release. May I ask you why folks with a rooted phone (?!) want it? I wonder if it's for security reasons? You can install the system helper by yourself with a root file explorer. Even system apps need a confirmation to gain root and the helper app declares only two additional permissions and shares them with PinTasking.
I am rooted but their are plenty of people who arent.
My phone is rooted, running plenty of rooted apps, and it says I am not and asks to install the helper or uninstall. Do I have to install the helper? I am on Android 5.1.1 HTC One M8.

This could help you:
1. Make sure that you haven't accidentally denied the root pop-up.
2. Restart the app and try it again.
3. It takes a while on Cyanogenmod to show up the root dialog. Tap "verify root" and wait 2-8 seconds.
I experienced the same bug once but I couldn't reproduce it and a simple application restart solved it for me. I'll look into it again.
Anyway, thanks for reporting.

hi ,
Your app PinTasking looks very interesting and practical .Thanks !
One issue i am trying to understand ................
I have Note 4 ( N910F ) rooted and on Lollipop 5.0.1
i installed your app from Play store,granted root access etc .
But i found app a bit confusing at first ( functions ..how to use etc ).
i uninstalled app ,as i wanted to see your video and then decide.
After watching video ,i was happy i understood functions better and reinstalled from Play store .
This time app was installed ,without asking again for root ( as in 1 st time when i installed )
It is working fine ,tested it rebooted etc ,but PinTasking does not show up in Superuser..?
However ,whilst typing above ,i had idea and went to PinTasking /Root helper installer and reinstalled
helper then was ask for root access etc ,( even though it was never uninstalled ,as i could see it in Titanuim )
and activated it ,and now app shows up in Superuser .
I have solved my issue ,but want to bring it to your attention.
Very impressed so far with apps.........practical /functional uses !
good luck
