All of them will be: sources update, some speed tweaks etc, etc... Mark my words.

It was the same as releasing a rom once every two months with only one bug fix or sometimes nothing at all.
At least there was an improvement everyday.

Well programming is not easy, maybe for you. Sometimes you will fix a certain things but at the same you accidentally broke something without knowing. Fixing and breaking is normal unless you are a perfect human that can code flawlessly.
And i dont see any wrong idea about attracting users to your site with ads, it is a site it was meant to be visited. And no one force you to download the file every release.

It is perfectly normal if you do not do it in purpose. By knowing that you will do that and make a bug. And why lying that ROM has some feature... But why to spend words on this matter anymore. :angel::angel::angel:

[APP][2.1+][Optimized 4.0+] WordLookup - Not your average dictionary tool!

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!

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.

Hey,
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.
Just released 0.1.2beta which includes a few buxfixes and also allows me to better identify problems(let me know if you still encounter the problem, Atamagaokashii)
Just released 0.1.5beta:
Changelog:
-Added a loading screen while definition is loading
-optimizations

I'll definitively look into it! The Wordnik API does support pulling from Wikitionary, Webster, etc. It's possible to set this from an option. Glad this app is useful for you!

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:
keep going!

I guess it's pretty stupid to make it incompatible. Why cannot they just leave it put by default and let it work with other browsers of the user chooses to download it from Play?

They'll definitely put a lot of effort to it and make it even better with shorter release cycles and so forth.

Jelly Bean source comes out in July.
Had someone with a Nexus that already had JellyBean on it and he gave me a demonstration of "Google Now". Never was that interested in the whole Siri thing but I have to say I was damned impressed. And now I know how tall Mt. Everest is too!
Very, VERY Excited for Jellybean. I used to have a nexus and literally sold it 2 days before jellybean came out for it (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY) but I am content for now with ice cream sandwich. Jellybean is really nice, my friend has my old nexus and let me try out all of the new features, our phone is still faster though.

As I understood it, Adobe will leave the app in the store, they just won't optimize/develop it any further. And as I said in my earlier post, Google will keep developing Flash Player for Linux as a plugin for Chrome. So my guess is, that they will implement it in their Chrome-App.
Flash always sucked in perfomance and had security issues all the way. HTML5 is the way to go. We just gotta hope that more and more websites will support HTML5 instead of lame Flash Player.

I agree, Adobe decided to kill flash. Google has no reason to keep flash alive. Don't you think Chrome would already support Flash if they were going to?

Ahh the long months before we get a glimpse of Jelly Bean on our device...
So how is this going to work?
The JB source will be released in July, right? Can modders start building full, working ROM's after that or do they need something more? What? Do we need something from HTC?
The system dump or anythin' like that isn't enough for a fully working ROM, AFAIK - right?
Dunno about making ROM's like... anything
Thanks for everyone who dedicate their time for this!!

[App] URL Ripper - Expand web links, stay safe from malicious websites

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!

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.

They have the source code, which of course I don't know anything about it because I'm not a developer

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).

[APP][3.0+] CatLog - Holo: CatLog Holoified [Holo LogCat Reader]

If you like debugging on your device, you've likely come across CatLog. It's a great reader, with only one issue, the UI is a bit outdated.
Not anymore.
CatLog Holo​As CatLog is open source, I was able to edit it properly, no smali hacks or anything
Screenshots:
{
"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_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Changes:
- Removed top search/actionbar
- Moved pause, expand, delete and search buttons to split toolbar
- Search opens in ActionView in ActionBar
- Reload moved to overflow as you can't easily get menu long press
- Themes changed to Holo equivelents
- New icon

Note that the app has the same package name but a different signature, you will need to uninstall the old CatLog and then install this one
Awesome!
Finally there's a holo version of logcat, I've waited so long for this
Already wanted to do it myself, but never found the time..
I hope you're going to keep it up to date
Are you planning to release it on the Play Store some day?

Depends on whether the actual CatLog developer likes it. I'll try to keep it up to date, the changes aren't huge

So it has the same different signature? wat? I imagine you mean package name.
Looks nice. Now I can debug in style. =D

I hear ya. Thanks for the mod, looks great. Definitely less Gingerbread-like.
You should write something such as "I know I’ve written the best Logcat app for Android." as taken from Nolan's post.

Didn't have to uninstall. Probably coz I downloaded from F-Droid. But anyway thanks for the good work :thumbup:

Thank you so much, CatLog's original UI was unreadable!

Awesome job with this! I was actually planning on doing this myself just the other day, now I don't have to thanks!
Would be great to have this in the Play Store
Very nice. Easy to read and better on the eyes. Thanks.
How about offering a version with a slightly different name so as to be able to install both versions?
CatLog is still actively maintained so it would be nice to have yours installed and also keep up with the originals updates.

CatLog is not actively maintained. The project has been mostly abandoned and open sourced by the author in September 2012 (WTFPL!). He says he has no will to work on it anymore and he kindly open sourced so people like Quinny could take on it and have fun with it. He previously mentioned wanting to adhere more with the Holo standard (done!) as well as touch up the filtering.

I used "actively maintained" after going to the Play Store and seeing that it was last updated on December 13 2013, maybe something more subtle like still receives updates would have been better. I did not know that he said he didn't want to work on it anymore, the app still receives the occasional small update hence the reason for my request.
It also makes sense to slightly change the name (CatLog Holo comes to mind ) if Quinny plans to publish the app in the future since that name is already taken in the Play Store.
Sorry if I am being tiresome, I just posted here to see what Quinny's position was on doing this.

A bit confuse here,
If google play service is restricted, is it still able to get update, as far as I know play service update is always automatic especially on stock?

Never seen this wakelock on any of my devices running various stock/custom ROMs based on Android 4.4, 5.1, 6.0 and 7.1 - most with a relative recent build of Google Play Services, Framework and 'core' apps. I wonder if this nasty was quietly addressed by Google in the intervening two years since being reported.
I have seen 'flat line' wake scenerios depicted in the referenced source article but that's typically associated with a borked GAaps install or currupt caches.

You probably won't see it on most recent android versions, i currently checking the latest Google play services app to for more of those services.

well, you might be surprised but my quoted "SystemUpdateservice"-wakelock is indeed the full name of that Google Play service.
Package Name: Google Play Services
Version: 10.2.98 (036-146496160)
Full Name (Path): CmaSystemUpdateService
Edit: Hmm, sorry I probably was wrong (
ok here they are: (took the full name of the App Disable Services)
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService
and here is another one that was hiding:
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateGcmTaskService
However, I dont get why there is no "Cma" being claimed in this name. Confusing

Yep - might still be there on older devices/ROMs that have not see a full Play Services and/or Framework update. My range of ROMs (4.4.4-7.1) suggests that by itself isn't a good indicator. I suspect the update service(s) fire on occasion but immediately exit. As personal practice I do not block/stop/limit anything that does not carry an undesirable consequence. Too many sour experiences that aren't immediatlely obvious.

Many background services quietly 'sleep' until summoned in response to a wakelock, broadcast receiver, etc. If the service determines there is nothing to do it goes back to 'sleep'. I have little concern over such items as they consume few resources. Some get fussed over reported memory usage but Android effectively manages that and only becomes a problem on older hardware with limited RAM (eg: <1GB) and pokey NAND. The low memory flag usually addresses that.

I turn on the restrict systemupdateservice wakelock and then I rebooted my device. After my device booted everything applied except that feature
Haha about the temperature, maybe that's only for my device :laugh: :laugh:
