This is part of our other application, Android Pro Widgets, you can find it on market by searching for apw.
hamsterkiller & ExcaliberX
Supporting more languages is an extremely challenging task as simple translation just won't work. We will try to implement it on a future release.
Once we start working on that, any help would be much appreciated.
the next release will focus on adding other features suggested by users.
- [DONE] Add voice recognition
- [DONE] Remember last calendar used.
- Better support for landscape mode.

Can you also look into the default reminder time when entering an event with this app. I think it's always 15 minutes even though I set it to 10 minutes in Android calendar app.

Unfortunately reminders are somewhat tricky and we have no access to the default reminder setting of the calendar application.
We will try to think of an elegant solution for future releases, but for now the default reminder is indeed 15 minutes.
For now you may click the Edit button instead of OK and immediately press back (we know, not the best solution..).
Android Pro Quick Event 1.0.2 released!
Here are recent changes：
- Fix: closed when changing orientation.
- Fix: Remembers the last used calendar.
- Feature: Speech recognition added.

my days are off by one
when i try to set up an event the day is off by one i say Friday and it puts Thursdays date in it? anyone else have this issue

griffen97023
Please let me know what is your timezone so I can try to reproduce it.
Edit: well I can see its Pacific.
As far as I can tell the bug is only in the display and only for full day events. Events are placed at the right day after you click OK or Edit.
I'm working on a fix right now and it will be included in the next release.
Thanks.

Thanks! + small bug (?) report
Hey, thanks for the awesome app, I hit that "thanks" button really hard
I think I'll get used to the way of typing in appointments like that quite quickly.
However, I already found something I believe to be a minor bug. Imagine the following scenario: Let's say I want to schedule a meeting at an office of someone called "George Atkinson": "Meeting @ Atkinson's office". No problem so far.
In Germany it is not uncommon for people to have multiple last names connected by a hyphen. Let's say his name is now "George Johnson-Atkinson". Now it would be: "Meeting @ Johnson-Atkinson's office". What happens is that apparently the hyphen changes something in the syntax so that after having typed "Johnson-A", as soon as I type the "t", the Location part will omit what I wrote before and say "tkinson's office" when I'm done typing everything. It probably has something to do with its recognizing the "At" in "Atkinson" as a command (yet, funnily enough, the "t" stays as the first letter in the Location field, which I wouldn't have expected if it was mistaken as part of a command!).
It can get even more confusing. Let's say I don't want it to say "Meeting @ Johnson-Atkinson's office", but rather "Meeting @ George Johnson-Atkinson's office" (i.e. adding the first name; to be more general: another word followed by a space). After having typed "Meeting @ George Johnson-", the hyphen "jumps" to the Title field again, leaving only "George Johnson" in the Location field. Completing the command will result in the Title field saying "Meeting -Atkinson's office" and the Location field saying "George Johnson". EDIT: I just tried it with "Meeting @ Atkinson-Johnson's office" and it gave me "Meeting -Johnson's office" --> Title and "George Atkinson" --> Location. So this "bug" doesn't seem to be associated with the "At". So I guess I accidently found two bugs which I thought to be a single one
I don't know if this is working as intended and only poses a problem with the German "double names". Nonetheless, I did actually and in reality run across this problem I hope my description wasn't too confusing.
Thanks in advance for looking into it!

Updated to 1.0.3
We just released version 1.0.3
Change log:
Many improvements in the parsing abilities.
Added an option for full screen mode.
Fixed timezone issues.
Fixed calendars detection for Motorola 2.2+ devices.

[APP] SwitchMe Root Profile Manager needs FIRE testers please!

Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on some roms have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops or whatnot
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, bes sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.

will this allow me to switch between ROMs, like a ROM manager?

No. It creates multiple installs of your base rom. There is an app called boot manager, but it will never support the fire...

Ah. Was hoping it was like Boot Manager. Damn.

Switchme seems to work as desired. I'm the only one using my fire tho so there isn't much need for it. Come to to think of it, it would keep people out of my account when its being passed around at my buddies house lol.
Why do you say boot manager will never have support on the kindle fire?

Considering their progress over the last year and a half - 6! new devices - it will take forever.

SwitchMe 1.2 has been rolled out and now includes a lockscreen replacement:
1.2
Added lock screen for logging in and out
More stable Fast switch implementation
Reworked UI colors
Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!

1.2.2 - HOTFIX 2
Reworked widget on qHD+ displays
Fixed widget text on HC and ICS
Fast switch improved on older devices

I have a few ideas that should put this app to good use I've been meaning play with it for a while now. Going to be kinda busy during the week but I'll try to post any questions/issues if I come across any. If I don't get to it during the week, I will defiantly spend some time using it on the weekend

Thanks, i look forward to some feedback - for a developer good feedback in forums is much better than "doesnt work - 1 star" type reviews on the market.

1.4.3.7
Fixed device specific switch screen crashes and issues
Fixed UI bug in switch screen preferences
If anyohe had problems with superuser before, this should fix them. Please let me know if that is the case, its important we get some feedback here!

Anything to report regarding yesterday's release?

I couldn't get wifi to connect last week (only time i had to try it) I'll give it another go tonight. I did have a question about storage, if i have a game installed on my main profile and install it on a second profile, is the apk then located in 2 locations? The kindle fire is very limited on storage with no option of expandable storage

Hello, I just came across this thread and had to say something, I love your Switchme app. Me and my wife both use my fire and it was driving me crazy not being able to customize it how I wanted. Then I found your app in the market and was ecstatic to try it. It worked like a dream! Your latest update just added that little touch that made it sol worth it. Thank you so much for this function and smooth integration.

[APP][4.3+][19 Feb. - V3.0] NetLive - Monitor data speed and live app data usage

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.

Hello all,
I am currently working on gingerbread support for NetLive.
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
CNET: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57599959-285/use-netlive-for-android-to-find-data-hogging-apps-in-real-time/

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.

NetLive V1.1 Update
It has been a long time coming, but I have finally pushed out my first update.

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.

Remember this is a work in progress, if it isn't working for you now, make sure to follow the g+ page so you'll know when I make it better
Changelog:
5.4:
- Google has asked me to remove the Google Speech Engine due to high server traffic. From here on out, the only supported speech engine will be PocketSphinx... Kind of sucks, but you know you're legitimate when you are producing enough traffic for Google to care about you
- Because of this change Tasker commands are not supported... yet (I know a way just need more time). For now use my other app Commandr http://goo.gl/ymwQ46
- Fixes for conflicts in Lollipop
- Pocketsphinx optimization
5.3:
- bug and crash fixes
5.2:
- bug and crash fixes
5.1:
- bug and crash fixes
5.0:
- Completely redesigned UI to both simplify and guide the user experience (inspired by the Google Now design)
- Tablet-Optimized UI
- Multiple optimizations for PocketSphinx and Google engine
- Device-specific optimizations for Nexus 5 and Moto G
- Change sensitivity of Wave and Shake Detection
- Simplify Listen while screen off settings (even I got confused before!)
- Automatically blacklist apps that use the mic (this fixes issues with the camera, Shaazam, and other similar apps)
- Fix Tasker Command problems (this update will wipe your current commands)
- Visual feedback to show what Open Mic+ is doing
- Redesigned Support interface which will auto-send logs and device information (with consent) and will allow two-way conversations without an email address (Huge thanks to Sky Kelsey and the Apptentive Team!)
- Targeted Surveys which will allow me to push updates more effectively
- Many donate-only features are now free
- Free users who are unable to pay for the donate version can now get all of the donate features by sharing to two out of three of Google+, Facebook, and Twitter
- Multiple crash and bug fixes
- Professional Translations for Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish
Not included in this update, but also figured out how to allow Tasker Commands for PocketSphinx! This will be included in a future update
4.5:
★ Lots of Force close and bug fixes (sorry these are very complicated issues, still working on them...)
★ Additional logging to help understand other issues
★ Tweaking of PocketSphinx engine settings for better recognition
★ Resolving issues with UserVoice SDK (if you are having trouble sending a log, remember that your log is copied so you can always paste it into the email link below)
4.4:
★ Lots of Force close and bug fixes (sorry this took so long, but they were pretty tricky to figure out)
★ (Donate) Pocketsphinx - Option to pause listening during music playback
★ Issues with sending support requests should be resolved
★ Check if both versions are installed to prevent accidentally using the free version when the donate version is installed
4.3:
★ Force close and Can't Reach Google fixes (Thanks for all the logs! If you are still having this issue please email me. Sorry it has taken so long to fix these, but it is actually a very complicated issue which has many sources)
★ Shake sensitivity fixed
★ Bug fixes & performance improvements
4.2:
★ Force close and Can't Reach Google fixes (if you are still having this issue please email me)
★ Crash reporting added to help fix future crashes. This requires the Internet permission, which is why I added it. Please know that based on my privacy policy (http://OpenMic.RSenApps.com/privacypolicy.html) I cannot and never will upload any data without the user's consent
★ Native contact us, knowledge base, and future ideas, just click the Support button. This makes it easier to report issues...

★ Force close and Can't Reach Google fixes (if you are still having this issue please email me)
★ Huge Apk/install size fixed
★ Various bug fixes...
Version 4.0 ICS (I Crave [Pocket]Sphinx):
★ PocketSphinx Speech Engine Integrated. PocketSphinx is a much faster, more reliable, and more battery efficient speech recognition engine and can now be used with Open Mic+ (Tasker commands are not supported yet...)
What this means:
- Faster, more reliable recognition
- Significantly reduced battery and memory usage
- Volume muting bugs resolved
- Recognition during music playback
- (Donate) Customize sensitivity
★ (Donate) Read out SMS messages when Open Mic+ is running (useful while driving)
★ Shake phone to activate

★ New Language: Finnish (Thanks to: Jaakko Salminen)
WHAT'S DIFFERENT IN THE DONATE VERSION
Hi, my name is Ryan Senanayake and I'm a Junior still in high school. As the amount of time I have spent on this project grows to more than 1000 hours, I need to better justify the time I spend on development. The Free version will in no way be hobbled and will continue to receive bug fixes + performance/battery improvements, but from now on, new features will be added to the Donate version. It will only cost $2 and if you are not able to spend this, just shoot me an email and I'll send you one for free.

Great app! I'm surprised it was suspended

Great app! Currently testing on my GT-I9300. Screen-off mode works like a charm, don't really need to worry about power consumption because of my extended battery haha.
Is it possible to keep the lockscreen while in screen off mode?

Nice! but could you provide an option to switch it off too? Since this affects the battery, I'd like to run this just when I'm in my car and then switch it off after I reach my destination.
Thanks

Works good on galaxy s4 but screen mode off doesn't unlock screen when activated. I hear it in background but lock screen stays locked...

Unfortunately no, it seems that Google Now only works if the lockscreen is deactivated. But what I'm trying to do is only allow the user to use Google Now above the lockscreen and have to still enter the password to use any other apps.

You can use Tasker, AutomateIt, etc.to provide this automation, there are guides on the g+ page

The current ways to do this are pretty sporadic as the Android apis are bad. I'm focusing on the new speech recognition as it gives me more control, but after I finish that I'll work on resolving this issue.

Looks awesome. Trying to download it, but every time I hit the download link it goes to a blank white screen.

Yeah sorry about that. You can download it on your computer, but not on your phone... Hey I'm an Android dev, not a web dev I know what I did wrong, I'll fix it tonight.

Ok downloads working now, sorry about that

Wow google will kick your ass
Thanks for this app,I'll give a try

When I have it enabled, it beeps randomly in the background all day long, without being actually "activated" or popping up with the Google Now interface.
This is with the hotword detection on, but with swipe-to-activate OFF

Thanks, this issue is because Google speech recognition doesn't natively support continuous recognition. I have to start it every few seconds. As there is no way to turn off the beep sound, I have to use a dirty hack of silencing the system audio and turning it back on. Sometimes the timing is off and the beep gets through anyways. This problem and many more will go away once I implement my own speech recognition

Website updated with real-time download counter. (I know should be working on updates, but I'm really new to doing low-level sound processing so I needed a break) We're at 46,812, let's try to get that # over 50,000!

Tried this on moto razr jb 4.1.2. It works but if the screen of option is turned on, sometimes I cant get my screen on and has to reboot.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I'm pretty sure that any issue like that is an issue with the kernel and not with the app. I'm pretty sure an app doesn't have the ability to cause a problem that big (unless it's a root app). Is your phone rooted? If so what kernel?

Good idea, didn't seem to work on my Samsung Galaxy 3 AT&T with MIUI. (Yes I enabled the screen off options and such ) No worries though I don't plan on needing/using this I need every little bit of battery I can savor haha.

Yes I understand that. my phone is rooted, its stock rom and stock kernel...doesnt have any mods in kernel. Never had such issue before and 5 minutes after enabling the screen off option it stuck...I cant turned it on. Maybe I should give it one more shot and report back...

Hey Rsen nice to finally to see you here.

[APP - 4.1+] To-Day - the to-do list just for today :D

Another little utility app I've been working on
I'm a big fan of to-do lists apps but I was often finding myself editing the same list in Google Keep (my app of choice) everyday - adding new tasks, marking them as done, deleting them tomorrow to add new ones etc..
Also I thought it was a bit overkill to use a whole to-do app to manage just one list, and I found it annoying having to keep opening Google Keep, find my list for today & then edit it etc.. so I built To-Day.
In case the naming isn't as clever as I think, To-Day is an app to create a list of today's most important tasks directly from the notification drawer (for devices running Nougat & up). You can view the whole list directly in the notification drawer & swipe to mark tasks as complete directly in the notification drawer. Once the clock strikes midnight the list is cleared & you start again.
That's it. No bells, no whistles, nothing fancy - just productivity.
I've just published the app on the Play Store - Would love to know what you guys think..
And any bugs or issues you find please do let me know..
PS: If you find it useful a review would be MASSIVELY appreciated

I like the no-bs approach. I am a simple man and I prefer simple solutions
Personally I prefer your other app "Remindee" much more. My tasks quite often are situated within longer time span than single day.

Appreciate the feedback buddy ?
I'm in a similar position, I guess this is more for those quick tasks that I don't particularly have a time except they need to be done today, in which case they don't necessarily need a reminder..
But hey use whatever you prefer best!! (After all I made them both ??)

New build is up, just some minor bug fixes

Yet another nice utility, many thanks! If considerable amount of users agree, 'task complete' checkbox could be handy,possibly?

Glad you like it! Atm (apologies - it's not obvious) you can swipe tasks to mark as complete either from the notification or inside the app itself :good:

Got it, sir, thanks! Have got a little bit too many notifications, and To-Day tasks merged. Prevented merging notifications from the same app via interface, and discovered 'Swipe to complete' feature. Certainly, it's enough!

New build is uploading..
- Added option to set tasks for tomorrow
- Minor bug fixes & layout tweaks
Any issues/feedback - let me know

Interesting app.
Just wondering, if option set task for tommorow is enabled does it automatically add unfinished tasks for the next day if not completed or do you have to manually set it for tomorrow?
First option would be great.
Also, permissions does not match app description:
receive data from Internet
view network connections
full network access
prevent device from sleeping
Why internet?

To-Day lets you put your most important tasks right in the notification drawer.

Also, is prevent device from sleeping really required for app context?
I do not believe notifications really need this permission?

It doesn't currently but that's a good idea! Maybe I could add that as an optional setting.. ?
Re permissions internet & network is required for Crashlytics (crash reporting), not sure about preventing the device from sleeping - that's not a permission I've declared so I'm thinking that's something added from the Firebase SDK. Either way the app doesn't do anything other than post notifications for your tasks so it shouldn't be keeping your device awake for any reason

Thank you for the quick response.

I believe there is at least two different methods to implement this.
Have a general switch in settings, enable/disable, when enabled all uncompleted tasks are automatically moved to the next day, as creating a task means it should be completed.
Have an option when creating task itself, per task "must complete" option, if task has this checked ( checkbox), then task is carried forward, if not cleared at the end of day

Any updates?

Hey bud - sorry not yet as I've been working in a major update for another app, as that's now out I'll jump back on this.. probably tomorrow I'll have a build ready to test
