[APP] Scare App | Record your friends freight. Testers needed!

Hi All,
This app allows you scare an unexpected victim and record the “evidence” using the device's front facing camera (if available).
While there are many “scare your friends” prank apps on the market, this is the first that allows the user to record the footage (and share with their friends via facebook and twitter)
I would appreciate if you could test this app, and send any feedback to [email protected]
Attached is the free version APK, but if you would like to try out the pro version, send me an e-mail and I will send it to you.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Looks like a good idea, I'll give it a try.

While I appreciate your effort, I was not frightened in the least. If I could share the capture here I would to prove it.
When I clicked on "play scare" all I got was a blank black screen.
Might work on small children and the elderly though. ;-)

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry it didn't scare you...but then again you knew it was coming, so there wasn't really much shock.
..maybe if you scared an unsuspecting victim, you might get more fun from the app!
As for the black screen, I assume the app detected a front camera and turned record on!?
If you have a chance to have a go again, try playing around with the video record settings (like turning off Custom Record)
The defaults settings work on most devices that i've tried, but not all
Thanks again

Hi Guys,
I've just released a new version of ScareApp to the market (and attached)
Some users have informed me that they are having trouble playing back the recorded video.
Could somebody PLEASE help and test the following...
Using any of the "Scare Options" and recording a scare
1) Does a thumbnail show a frame of the video on the screen after the scare (the one which has HAHAHAHA at the top and the play button(s) at the bottom)
2)on the play screen, does anything show? If not, can you click menu and see the options there, and does clicking on the screen cause anything to happen?
2) check if the video plays when looking at it from the "Saved Scares" menu (top left button on the main menu)
3) check if the video exists on the SD card (should be under [SD]/scareapp/videos) and whether it plays from there
4) check if a recorded video plays with different configuration (try turning ON "custom record settings" and changing the resolution and framerate)
(also, don't forget to note what device you are using!)
If you would like a (licence free) copy of the PRO version of the app, sent me a DM with your e-mail and I will forward it to you.
Thanks in advance...I appreciate the help!!
Regards,
Mark Bond

RemoteIME / Android Smart TV remote app

Since I couldn't find any info about this anywhere... there you go :

Pdf with english info

Someone first said he managed to get this android app on his mobile/tablet to remotely control his Android Smart TV..(http://forum.energysistem.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=30)
The thing is that this forum is in spanish only, and that the link points to a chinese page.... so I thought I'd stick it here !!!
This said, I tried it on my HTC Desire and on My Asus TFT101 and I definitely can control my tv with both of them
hoping it will help
b0b0
ps: I'm really interested in knowing HOW can this software connect to my Android TV without me entering any passwords ... This means I can go to anyone's house with an android smart tv & control it??!!!

Just going to bump this as its working well with my ATV1200
Anyone else had a go with it.. and is there any hacks to it?
Also been playing with this one.. but cant seem to get it to work..

Mirrorlink allows the device to seamlessly connect with the car's audio/video head unit.
And the samsung drive link app(currently available only for gs3) mirrors the screen on your phone to the car a/v head unit touchscreen so that one can access the maps/call/notifications of the phone directly from the head unit touch screen.

[APP][2.2+] CheapCast. Turn your Device into a ChromeCast Dongle

Ok, here it is. The first public beta of CheapCast, an App that let's your Android Device emulate a ChromeCats Dongle. I decided to put this up for free since I believe it could potentially useful to a whole lot of people. If you like it and it works for you, feel free to just use one of the Donation options within the App.
I will also make the Source Code available in the near future (I'm still cleaning it a bit up). Just watch this space: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast
I hope to further improve the App and welcome anybody who wants to contribute.
In my first PoC-Video I've showed CheapCast with YouTube, I've just uploaded another video showing Google Music streaming to a Nexus 7 running CheaCast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ktmrXgj9qQ&feature=youtu.be
As this is the first public Beta please expect things to fail. I appreciate your feedback. Please log your issues/bugreports here: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues
Hope you enjoy it.
Get it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.maui.cheapcast
or download it here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489999237

Awesome thanks. I'll be testing as soon as I get home.

very handy!
n4 > cheapcast > note 10.1 attached to sony bravia :highfive:

Awesome concept, but I cannot get my Revue to cooperate at all. It force closes every single time I try to start the service. I've tried multiple reboots and re-installs. Blah this Revue is a POS.

Awesome. Planning to try this on my Nexus Q running CM. Finally give the Q a purpose in life once again

Thanks!
Works on my SGS3 and my Xoom.
Not on my HPTouchpad or my Ouya but I haven't tried very hard yet.

Like it a lot!!!!
Works OK so far. Great concept for sure!! I can get all 3 of my Samsung device to connect but can only get you tube to play. I keep getting errors when using Google play music. Says unable to play requested song.... Anyway, I have my galaxy note 8.0 and also a galaxy s4 connecting to a galaxy s2 skyrocket. I've even tried connecting just the note 8.0 and s4 and have the same issue. Hope to get this fixed soon... Would love to stream to my surround sound when I feel like jammin!

A explaination on what this does exactly would be nice.

concept
i dont know why people are using both sender and receiver as mobile devices i think the concept of this app is that your suppose to install this app on a android tv hdmi dongle and transfer content from your mobile device to you tv

This is really awesome can anyone recommend some good dongles? works great with my gnex via MHL, but still a bit troublesome

Reading this might help, Turn Your Extra Android Device into a Chromecast Receiver with CheapCast.
its to use one for sending and one for receiving, could be useful if u have a spare fone with hdmi.

I sure am. Thank you, you just saved me few euros.
Will try it as soon as I'll be back home.

Anyone know if this works on an unrooted google tv?

Awesome
Thanks alot!
I was just wondering if such service will be available on other platforms like, Linux or Windows. So it can run on HTPCs.

Try https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast/
Both seem to have the same problems at the moment though, single channel? Loses connection with the sender after one or two tracks of a playlist.
Very much looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Tried loading up Cheap cast on a second device. (MK802 and ATV1200) It didn't like that at all, none of my phones could see any CCs in Music.

Why??

Same problem here, losing the connection after a song. The only way to get it working again is to either disconnect and reconnect the sender, or to restart the service on the receiver. Bar that, this is class

Had this issue as well. I found out, that CheapCast is registered as another device for Google Play Music. I already had 10 devices attached, so killing some of the old and not used ones fixed that problem.
Maybe you got the same problem, if its only Music that is not working?

Casting screen

Anyone tried casting your screen to chromecast ?
I tried using the MirrorEnabler method, but it told me there were some essential files missing, and that I might need to flash a custom ROM to be able to cast it.
Has anyone been successful with casting on the Stock ROM ? If not does anyone know what files i'll need to push, in order to get MirrorEnabler to do its thing ?
Any help appreciated !
Thanks

The stock rom actually has casting built in. Swipe the right menu and all the way on the bottom when your device detects the chromecast should be a icon that says cast screen

Anyone with LP confirm screencasting?

Well, I just tried tihs and it works... http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
Although, I tried it on a monitor, not a TV, so I'm not sure if the audio works... I will try it later or perhaps someone can jump ahead before i get home

Yup this works now!
Google added chromecast support for the tablet
Tried it today. It's awesome! ?
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app

Mirror casting with shield tablet using Chromecast sucks. I know Chromecast isnt designed for lagless mirroring. Playing and casting videos from your storage is really laggy.
I wished I bought Microsoft wireless display adapter instead. Based on the reviews, it seems to have the highest chance as a cable free solution to the HDMI cable.
Been looking for 2 things:
1. If anyone's actually tried NST with MS WIDI adapter, how was it?
2. Can a Chromecast be hacked to perform like a WIDI adapter, so that the content streaming won't have to go through WiFi and internet?
Hope someone could help. Thanks​!
