I tested the app again, setting still there for me. I think i have to update the app once..

I've tested the app, rated and reviewed it.
This app is a simple, clean, and informative review of the different versions of Android. They've also included a few useful shortcuts to forums and news sites related to Android. The UI is simple but easy to use.
Keep up the good work.

Vandy, you did a good job, try to find more use full features. Even I was searching how to USE NFC 3 month back, after a long research I found the proper use case, if appzinventors give one more update with features use case it will great for new user, who don't have much awareness of technology..
I would like to say, if 100 XDA member request appzinventors they can do it I hope.

THANKS
Thanks Jack

Oh yeah,one more suggestion from me : You should make a trailer idk if I can do it (since my sister use my 2011 xperia mini pro and I use my ion),but maybe someone can :thumbup:

[APP][2.0+]Phonechievements

Phonechievements is back
Phonechievements (latest version 1.35)
About
Phonechievements brings achievements to the mobile phone. For those who are gamers the concept isn't new, for those who are not, achievements are just rewards you get for accomplishing a goal. You don't get an actual prize, it's just a form of reward that you get in writing. Moreover, this app allows you to brag on Facebook with them (for now).
Open the app and navigate through the list. Each achievement has a description on how you can unlock it. Want to let everyone know how you master the phone? Share on Facebook the unlocked achievements. Just open the app and go to the achievement and a Facebook logo button will allow you to do that.
With each update new features and of course new phonechievements will be added.
If you like the idea and want to help me improve or have any suggestions for new achievements, please check it out.
The app is available for Android 2.0+. If you find any issues please let me know so I can fix them.
Thank you.

Share unlocked achievements on Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus
Show/hide unlocked achievements
Statusbar notification on phonechievement unlocked
Possibility to hide individual achievements
Option to switch GPS query ON/OFF (if you keep GPS on from android settings the you most probably want tot keep it OFF in the app)
Sync your profile online (check what you have synced on http://phonechievements.com/profile/yourchosennickname/) - for now an ugly 10 minutes of code website will appear. The nice one is under construction. This is just for checking purposes
Share online profile with most of the sharing apps installed

IMPORTANT
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ALWAYS USE THE SYNC OPTION BEFORE DOING AN UPDATE AND ALSO ON A REGULAR BASIS. AFTER YOU UPDATED THE APP IF YOU EXPERIENCE LOSS OF STATS OR ACHIEVEMENTS USE THE SYNC OPTION AGAIN TO RECOVER THEM FROM THE SYNC SERVER

Two new phonechievements have been added: Stalker and Meta. Check them out in the next update

Just installed. Seem fun.

Cool app!
I downloaded it and it's cool, always went for trophies on games and used to brag about them to friends

Lol @ phoneception achievement
Also, can you give the app an ICS/JB theme for GB users? Thanks in advance!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

Sounds interesting

This sounds like a lot of fun. I'll definitely try it out.

This is an awesome idea. Installing now.

Love the idea, installed it, shared it. I really love this idea.

Thank you guys. Please let me know if there's any crash or any problem with the app. I see there's a general request for a JellyBean / ICS theme therefore I will be working on this alongside with the new features and achievements. The theme should be out soon so stay tuned. In the meantime enjoy the achievements and if you think of some new ones, please let me know and you could see them in the app.
Also I would appreciate some feedback regarding battery usage, memory usage and stuff like that. I got to test it on some friend's phones while on BETA and it was reported as ok, but the more data the better.
Thank you.

Yes. That would definitely make it better. I added this to the TODO list... quite on top. This will be available on a unique username base and you would be able to add friends using their username. Also a profile webpage would display all your unlocked achievements and as you said allow you to compare with other users you know or share your profile link anywhere you want.

Can we change the "Oops, I did it again"? Lol

New version published on Google Play
Just published a new update on GPlay. Give it some time to actually get it.
What's New:
* Added three new Phonechievements: Well Informed (Apps), I Always Take The Bus (Power Wizard), The Alternative Approach (Power Wizard)
* Minor bug fixes
* Battery usage reduced
Work in progress:
* Just started implementing the Twitter integration (a share button will be available next to the Facebook one).
* Another thing I started working on is a profile webpage. You will be able to choose a username and get a unique profile URL to share with your friends... and brag . Also a compare tool will be available so you can show your frinds that you have more phonechievements
* This is just the beginning as this webpage could easily be developed and improved. The way you will be able to update your profile is either automatically (setting) or manually.
* I also got a lot of complains about battery draining when GPS is on. I know what the problem is and it will be fixed in tomorrow's update
* AND THE BIG ONE COMING IN TOMORROW'S UPDATE: RandomChievements : The are phonechievements, yes they are ... but a little special. They are inactive most of the time, meaning you can't unlock them even if you accomplish the goal (by accident ). They become active randomly, at any time. You will get a notification that the randomchievement has become active. From that moment on you have a random amount of time to complete it. Sometimes it might be almost impossible to do it. But if you miss it , there's no worry, it will get active some other time. Randomly, of course. The only known fact is that it can not tell you to unlock it in less than 15 minutes. This is the lower limit. The upper limit is 6 hours. There will be a new category called Randomchievements where this new type of phonechievement will take its rest.
Last but not least... if you experience any issues , crashes , please report them so I can try and fix the issues.
Thank you.

Oh - and maybe some sort of friendsystem or social integration?
Edit: Nevermind... Saw your post now
New thing though - You should hide what makes the achievement unlock - and only show descriptions, so that the exploring is more fun!

The update keeps crashing for me. Going to bed, I'll get more info out tomorrow if I can.

Will add some of them. I had thought of adding all of them initially but it would result in flooding with the same piece of news from various sites. It defeats the purpose and increases data usage, needs more space, etc.
But still might add in a couple of them as they offer breaking and exclusive news.

Please add these two options in this priority order:
1) The ability to include or exclude feeds from the built in list (checkbox UI)
2) The ability to add your own feed url. You will likely need to specify supported content requirements.
Thanks for considering my requests.

I really thank you dev I followed you from the other thread about flowly. Thanks for putting this together. I'd definitely look at the sources in flowly because those are the a lot of the main android sources. Like someone posted above the ability to add or turn off feeds individually would be awesome. I know you're working with the appyet format so I don't know it's limitations but those would be the suggestions I have. A working replacement for flowly. Regardless thanks for putting this together.

The ability to turn off feeds is under development I believe.
I did not want the app to be flooded with the same news over and over again. The IFA 2014 week has started and if a new mobile comes out it will be reported in all Android sites and my app will have the same news over and over again! Anyways I will release an update later in the week to add more Android sources.
Guys please click on the Thanks button and more importantly give our honest reviews at the play store.
Also spread the word, I have only 20+ downloads.

I love the way this app operates. The original Flowly was best tho, I ordered pro to get more themes but was obviously ripped off. This app is nice, but I agree with everyone that there isn't enough feeds. It wasn't flooded with redundant information, and not only that, but all the sites do different phone reviews and such. I waited a month and a half for my Note 4, so watching everyones review/hands on videos helped. Going to uninstall for now, let us know if you add more feeds.

Thanks for this, I also came from flowly. I would also like to ask for the ability to choose/unchoose feeds, and the option to add your own.

Hi everyone,
some time ago, I searched for a screenshot app which let me quickly edit screenshots, and then upload them directly to Imgur or share them differently.
Since I couldn’t find anything suitable, I started developing my own one, so now here it is:
My app is called Screen’it, and I’m almost finished for release, but before I wanted to do an alpha/beta test. I would be really happy if you could take part at my alpha test and give me any kind of feedback, about my app. Just say what you think about it. Do you like the layout, design, functions, features, etc.? I would greatly appreciate any sort of feedback.
At release, Screen’it will be a paid app, with a 30 day free trial, but all beta and alpha tester receive Screen'it free for one year. If you are a beta or alpha tester and give feedback, you get Screen’it free forever and don’t have to pay for the Full Version any time in life.
Screen’it aplha test: link
Thanks for testing!
Update 2015/11/05:
To give you all a short update on what I'm currently working here is a Screenshot, of the new "Recent Screenshots" screen on the main page.
@vange Does this look similiar to what you imagined? Thanks for the Idea! http://i.imgur.com/rPlDX4u.jpg
Update 2016/01/17:
First of all sorry for no updates on this thread and my app. I'm currently in India for two months, and doesn't have my computer with my, so sadly no Android programming right now. I'll be back mid February and will than continue working on the app. Thanks for your @vange and all the other support until now, that really keeps me going [emoji4] [emoji3]
Send me more ideas for features if you want, I'm open for (almost) everything.
Update 2016/02/09:
Hi all,
I'm finally back from India and in front of my Computer! Expect the next update of Screen'it at the end of this week, I'm working on it. It will be mainly about the "Recent Screenshots" Option.
Next on my list is working on a better way to actually take screenshots. I'm thinking about a "facebook messenger like" bubble for taking screenshots.
And my favorite long-term feature will be the ability to crop before taking a screenshot. (that will probably take some time to implement, but it should work after all). So stay tuned for what's coming next.
And as always if you have any new feedback or request for a feature feel free to shout it out!
Thanks!
Update 2016/02/12:
Hi all,
the long-awaited @vange) update for Screen'it is finally here. What do you think about the new "Recent Screenshots" - overview and the new settings screen.
As always feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for testing!
Changelog:

- better structured settings screen
- new output folder screen
- overall performance improvements and other bugfixes
Update 2016/03/22:
UPDATE!!
I just released a new Update for Screen'it, which brings a whole lot of changes. I think you will like it
Feedback is very welcome.
Update 0.2.43:
Now you can use Screen'it |Float|, a new intuitive way to quickly take screenshots with a green floating button. Screen'it is now also able to crop the status or/and navigation bar before taking a screenshot. And of course there are a whole lot more changes and bug fixes.
Changes:
- Screen'it |Float|

mhh... sometimes it takes some time after you are registered as a tester :/
But good to now that you got it installed

Very good app, design/layout is decent and very easy navigatable. I love the loads of tools in the photo editor.
I wouldn't mind, if it was possible to access the photo editor and redo a screenshot after initial editing.
I ran into a problem when trying to share a screenshot via my sms app (Google messenger) . Sending it manually worked fine though. Installed chompsms to see if it was a genereal problem, but there it worked as it should. Verdict must be my sms app sucks.
Other than this, I don't (for my perspective), see any needs for big changes.
You could do color theming if you wanted, I'm sure people enjoy the ability to change color setup.

Thank you for your feedback! I added color theming to my to-do list
Regarding the screenshot redo feature: Never that about that, but sounds good, and helpful. How should it look like? I could imagine that I add an recent Screenshots view to the main app page (where the "start capture" button is), and if you click on one of the images, the editor opens up and let you edit the screenshot again.
I will check the sms problem, when I'm home, should be normally also working with google messenger :/
If you like to, feel free to share the app with your family and friends

nice work

Looking forward to it, keep up the good work :good:

Been looking for new updates to this thread for some time, and just now I noticed the update in your OP.
Heh, I was awaiting a new post, so never scrolled up to have a look there.
The recents screenshot wasn't exactly what I was thinking, more like a regular "load image" function and then access the image.
But if you can access the image via pressing on the image, I guess that'll work to

First of all sorry for no updates on this thread and my app. I'm currently in India for two months, and doesn't have my computer with my, so sadly no Android programming right now. I'll be back mid February and will than continue working on the app. Thanks for your @vange and all the other support until now, that really keeps me going [emoji4] [emoji3]
Send me more ideas for features if you want, I'm open for (almost) everything.

Hi all,
I'm finally back from India and in front of my Computer! Expect the next update of Screen'it at the end of this week, I'm working on it. It will be mainly about the "Recent Screenshots" Option.
Next on my list is working on a better way to actually take screenshots. I'm thinking about a "facebook messenger like" bubble for taking screenshots.
And my favorite long-term feature will be the ability to crop before taking a screenshot. (that will probably take some time to implement, but it should work after all). So stay tuned for what's coming next.
And as always if you have any new feedback or request for a feature feel free to shout it out!
Thanks!

Update!! Version 0.2.28
Hi all,
the long-awaited (@vange) update for Screen'it is finally here. What do you think about the new "Recent Screenshots" - overview and the new settings screen.
As always feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for testing!
Changelog:
- all new recent screenshots overview
- better structured settings screen
- new output folder screen
- overall performance improvements and other bugfixes
best regards

[APP] Latest News [28.10.2017]

Hi all,
I've made a super simple app for reading news using news-api. It shows sources (groupped by categories). So in short, app can:
Add xml feeds sources to the app
Show each source latest news
Show a preview of news (with basic Share and Open in browser options)
Tries to fetch the full content of the news including images
Show latest news of Favorite sourcess
Shows you a bookmarked list or articles
Download on Google Play Store: Latest News
Screenshots:

TODO:
optimization everything for the tablet devices
select preferred language
Thank you for being an alpha tester. Please keep in mind that...
I'm opened for requests/ideas
I'll even fix any bugs you find!
Will change the name of the app to something better, since "latest news" will return at least 3029482093480 items when using search on google play store.

Thank you for your feedback. One of the next major improvements to app will be possibility of adding custom news pages. I will try me best to add it as soon as possible :good:

@paed808 & others
next release brings adding custom news sources:
{
"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"
}

Another huge update being rolled out today: Custom feeds!
There's been lots of refactoring, small fixes and improvements, but the biggest thing is finally implemented. Adding custom feeds. Just add the url of the news page or direct feed url (example http://www.cbc.ca/news), select a category and hope for the best!
Feel free to report any bugs you find.

After some release-break, here's yet another one. This has been an amazing month with a-lot of effort going towards development. Started as a simple newsapi client, I've got a few requests for which, I was sure it will take a while to implement them all. Since today, Latest News includes:
- a superb wizard just to remind you its beginner friendly,
- revamped source adding, which doesn't relly on newsapi anymore but uses own methods to fetch xml feeds and parse the data,
- super awesome grabber(tm), which downloads and parses the whole article from the websites, removes everything except the text story and images.
- an awesome back-end synchronization, which makes sure, your sources are always safe,
- and increadible new and redesigned menu (yea, this deserves a place on the list too!) and extra animations
It has been an awesome month.
Now, its up to people to start using it

Another update has been pushed to beta channel:
- added feeds Gruenderszene, NBA, JS weekly, Android Police, XDA-developers, Mac Rumors
- update sync so it will now handle a conflict between different remote/local entries; you will now have options to overwrite local, db or merge both,
- added read flag to article after it has been read.
- fixed the issue with images not being overwritten after refreshing the articles
- fixed the width of items which text isn't long,
- synchronizing favorites should now also work better
Enjoy!

Hi everyone! I'm happy to announce the first PRODUCTION release being rolled out.
Enjoy and don't forget to submit any bugs you find or feeds suggestions you would like to see in the app.

Wow the app is really cool. I will give it a try for a few days and see what It can do.
Just a question: can you add a way to login using Google account? There's a lot of passwords to remember and using Google is much better, with synchronization is superb.
PS: If you need someone to help you translating to portuguese let me know.

Finally an app that allows me read short rss feeds in full. Loves it. Please any plans for an import feature so I can import my feedly subscriptions? Thanks

plans to add to XDA labs or f droid?

Hi @udegbunamchuks - Just checked the OPML generated and yes, this is doable. You woulld like to see an option to import the exact OPML file, right? Sadly, it will take longer than one afternoon. Hope to keep you in the app until then :good:

With that, do you just mean if I plan to list the app on both services or completely open-source the code?

listing mostly but OS would be nice also.
feel like it would get more love at xda and f Droid.
btw been testing it and working great. been looking for a good rss reader for a long time.

thank you so much for your feedback. I will bring it on f-droid and xda labs in the future

None of my sources in this app shows any pictures. I even added MTV News since you used that in your screenshots and yours shows pictures for each article. It doesn't show any pictures on mine.

good evening @sourbear and thank you for your report. Just for test, please try adding "neowin". There are A LOT of sources, that just don't add image as leading article image (default rss image for specific article). However, it just happened none of your picked up source articles currently dont include any images.
MTV, at that time, had images, I've tested it again and what you found is correct. (Shame on them! ). Give them all a day or two.... you will start seeing them eventually. :good:

math in blogs
This is a great news for me, as I have been using feedMe for some time, but it cannot display mathjax properly.
So, two questions, do you plan to add mathjax/mathml support, and offline support as well?? Right now I tried https://terrytao.wordpress.com/feed/ and the math is not shown properly. Some formulas appear too big, some don't appear at all. Thank you for your work @greglord

Hi there
I will take a look immediatelly what's going on with those formulas!
Update @gilcu3
Just checked the source of the article and... oh my So far, I've made the formulas visible, however, since there is so much mixing between paragraphs and images (formulas), the "grabber" does not add texts to the full story. I humby ask for re-test after new update. If the content isn't something that suits you, I will invest more time and refactor the grabber to be more smart.
