[APP] NClip (Notifications /w clipboard integration)

Updated and nicer
I once had an idea for this app, so i started learning Java to make it happen.
I had a need to keep important information from my clipboard at the front of my attention (e.g text message,email etc) so I added some features and the result is NClip

OMG, this is exactly the app i was looking for.
I had the idea of such an app for months!
Thanks for it!

the cat ran across the road?!
wow! m already starting to like this app,
xD

pretty cool,i've been looking for somthing like this.

Suggestions
This is a great great app and a really good idea.. but I wanna give you some suggestions. The GUI is messy and doesn't properly use space.
On the very top is the Clipboard entry area (this should be at the bottom as its not usually used) it occupies immediately 1/2 of the screen with a large area that is totally wasted. Then, if there are contents on the clipboard they are not displayed nicely in the window (really ugly).
Then because of large unused area for the clipboard, now the Custom entry are is hidden when the keyboard is pulled-up (which by the way should pop-up immediately and it doesn't). Then if I want to add an icon, that menu selection is at the very bottom, so I have to close the keyboard to get there and, that menu doesn't have icon previews, just bullets (it needs icon previews as like the PICK ICON menu item). Finally the NOTE CUSTOM MESSAGE is at the very bottom (worse place), needs to be at the top.
All this makes a single entry an endless effort of way too many clicks to get anything done. I'm on a 7" Galaxy Tab. Look at the screenshots and get inspired
Finally, for this app to make ANY SENSE, it needs to be AS EASY TO ACCESS AS THE NOTES IT CREATES!!!!!!!!!! So, make it run as a hidden notification so it can be pulled down from the taskbar and activated (like the app Clipper - Clipboard manager for example.. you can check it out on the market if you are not sure what I mean)
Really nice app though. I want to love it.. you just need to make it right now

I've already added some features to the program, including the short cut you suggested, just my keystore is 100+ miles away on my desktop so I cant yet publish the update (its been sitting around for over a month).
I have also updated the gui, it shows only what is relevant at a given moment and keyboard no longer poses an issue on my nexus s, literally the app has everything you want (its just not published), i'm working on it

havok123, thanks for the feedback, this is great news! I didn't mean at all to be harsh or overly criticizing.. think your app is truly fantastic and therefor I just would like it you to get it perfect! I'm happy you decided to learn Java just to program this... totally worth it!
When you have an update for the or if you want me to help you beta test/trouble shoot an updated version, post the info here on the thread or PM me. Id love to help you if I can.
Keep up the great work and when its perfect make a paid version. It will be worth it and I think many people would buy it. You can definitely count me in and your work should be rewarded!

Just uploaded update finally.
Updated to 3.0
Changelog:
What's in this version:
N Clip Shortcut
Edit notifications on click
Updated GUI
Bug fixes

Great update, interface much more workable & cleaner.
One suggestion that immediately comes 2mind is, get rid of the sticky app icon that shows up on taskbar when selecting the enable shortcut option. No ned & cluttery. IfU add a note without chooding custom icon, now there are DOUBLE app icons on the taskbar being displayed one of which is NOT a note.. very confusing and unecessary.
If the enable shortcut opion is chosen, we know its there in the pulldown menu already, thats enough &keeps taskbar cleaner for actual notifications only

going to get on it over christmas break xD

[Review] Minimal Reader pro (~70p) or (free)

I have decided to do a few reviews to fill the void in my day, these reviews will be exclusive to the sensation XDA forum, but feel free to repost wherever, though credit where credit is due
Todays review is for Minimal reader pro, I simple but beautiful looking rss reader for your android home screen.
I have personally tried a lot of the rss readers on the market in order to find something that suited my simplistic taste. Minimal Reader is a home screen widget that is just that, minimalistic and simple.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SetupThis widget took literally seconds to set up, this is mainly due to its link to Google Reader which allows the importation of RSS feeds saved to the google service, selecting a feed is as simple as checking a tick box and selecting done, with that you are good to go. Minimal Reader also has the ability to add RSS links to the home screen on the fly yet these ‘New’ links are not saved to Google Reader which is a bit of a bummer if for some reason you remove the widget containing a new ‘unsaved’ feed, expect a visit back to the site to reclaim your RSS link. This is an area that I personally think could be improved by allowing the user to add links to Google reader for future use.
Visuals and Interface
Visually the widget is pleasing, with two built in styles Dark Glass and Light Glass, both looking good on the default sense launcher. There are several options that edit the look and feel of the widget which can be done on the fly. ‘Text with buttons and arrows, text with arrows and text only’
Text with buttons and arrows gives you a visual indication on where to press (obviously) for settings and refresh and also displays the arrows to flip between pages. Text and arrows displays the feed and the page arrows, and text only…. Well you get the idea.
Using text only, for the first time I though, Woah! I cant refresh move pages ect, but, these options are still available. Using ‘text only’ clicking where the icons are, have the desired effect. Tops left refresh feed, bottom left Settings top right page up, bottom right page down…… and for those pesky lefties… these buttons can be flipped…. NICE
The Popup feature of this app (which is just as customizable as the main app) is one of the features I like most. Unlike most of the apps where the clicked link will open in the phones web browser, Minimal readers opens the link in a convenient pop up box, allowing you to read the whole article (feed permitting of course) from the home screen. From this pop up you can open in a web browser, share to social networks and add to favourites.
Foot Print
I have 2, 2x2 widgets running on my home screen using a manual refresh,. At current they leaving a 0.99mb footprint, not bad yet being a total noob in the area of Memory management I am happy to be corrected.
Verdict
I feel there are things in this widget that could be work on, the main aspect of that is adding links into Google Reader, in future versions the developer will be adding a ’Scrolling’ feature which would make the widget much more like a news ticker. I personally feel this would be a welcome addition giving the phones home screen some life.
I would defiantly give the free version a try, and see how things look for your phone it’s a very nice looking easy to use RSS ready with plenty of features!
That concludes my first review for you guys, constructive criticism is welcomed, don’t forget to say thanks is you found this review useful

App Drawer Concept - Need Developer

I was thinking about a stand alone organized app drawer ( by stand alone i mean like "all apps organizer, you can find it on market).
This was my concept (very childish paint but you shoud get it)
{
"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"
}
The main objective of the app drawer is to have all the apps organized by type in the same "screen" and if they does not fit into one screen you can down scroll to see the remaining apps, just like a normal app drawer. Then to change type (like games,apps,utility,internet etc) just side scrool.
Everything would be organized alphabetically on a screen and there should be the ability to move an app throug the screen to change category. Last "screen" should be uncategorized and over there will be placed all the installed apps to be moved on the right category manually.
i don't know if this has been made but i think it could be a very good app drawer
sorry my english and say what you think about this concept
This post is to find someone that would like to develop this

There is something similar in ADW LauncherEX.
You can create groups of programs and swipe through them on the app drawer. Although it doesn't have any transition between the groups, it just changes, which is a bit dull.
I do love the idea though

i really like the concept!

This is a really great idea!
I think it would be even cooler if the app categorized the apps for you. If it gets a few wrong, you would still be able to move it to a different screen. I would hate going through each app to add it, if you know what I mean.

That's more like the webos style, pages and categories of apps. I like this design a lot.

This is MY IDEA!!
The day I bought my Captivate several months ago, its the first thing I thought of that Android could do with its app drawer that would make it awesome. Have all apps categorized by user created categories and then in alphabetical order with new programs automatically going into these categories or else placed in a temporary folder for the user to categorize them later on.
And then for navigation you could have a side scrolling menu that lists all the categories so that you can immediately jump to that category at the touch of a button. I have it completely mapped out how it would work in my mind, but unfortunately I have zero programming capabilities. Crap.

This is a very neat concept. I think it would be really cool for the app drawer to categorize all of your apps for you by default. Obviously there should be room to reorganize and create your own categories of apps as well.
Very neat!

Categorizing things is annoying just the first time then just install and move the application. With multi select it would be fast to move application.
The only thing we need now is a developer

I agree this is an awesome idea and would be much easier to use than the standard app drawer
By the way, the app AppCat is vaguelly similar to this idea but not very user friendly but i dont know if that helps with anything
RDS

I know this is on webOS phones, but great idea for Android! Sometimes I feel my app drawer is too cluttered, loving the idea.

I'm trying appcat to see what it is.
EDIT:
YEs, it categorizes verything but too many categories and is not ok for daily use as main app drawer. too long to find an app between those categories and interface

take a look at appGrouper aswell it may be closer to what you are looking for
RDS

actually, look at the home replacement tag home. It's app drawer is very close to what you want and is quite a nice launcher alternative

I already have a app organized app drawer (all apps organizer). I justed wanted to see if someone would like to develop my concept as i think is simpler,eye candy and effective.
And what home replacement are you talking can you post full name or link^^?

bump this topic still looking for developers

You could have been learning how to code for the entire time this thread was inactive! Then you would be able to bring your own idea to life.

How hard would it be to build this ROM design

This ROM features a spinning radial app wheel, with 7-8 primary user apps
The central (hub) area would be the number one used app (probably the phone or browser).
The user can choose what app to put on the wheel and where.
The notification bar is on the side
Time, date and day is transparent / opacity in the background of the wallpaper.
At least what do you think of the layout?
I transitioned from a blackberry to an Infuse so I had some preferences stick to me I suppose.

Just an idea for the spinning part
Both for fun and how the radial app manager functions, one could theoretically (as it hasn't been made yet ) spin the wheel when bored, and the wheel would spin maybe 3 times in circles depending on the speed of the swiping motion.
I was thinking about how this could possibly function, when scrolling through a list, one can sort of pull on the list as it were a rubber band, the list seems to bounce off of the borders of the phone (if you're looking through Gmail try this).
Could this be a way that the radial app manager would be built? Based on this property/effect from the digitzer?

Shoot a pm to our 2 best dev in this forum gtg and mikymike, if anyone they are the two can help you with your idea. I like your design though.

I don't think either of them have done any launcher app development... And that's what you're probably going to need to do.
You might want to see if any open-source launcher apps exist. Looks like ADW is open source:
http://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/

Well alright, perhaps let me ask this instead.
To graphically and functionally design a 'look' of a phone, what does that fall under?
I mean positioning the notifications bar on the left side (right handed people) and pulling some of the notification icons from the main notification window and placing them elsewhere (in my case under the wheel) what is the level of difficulty to do something like that?
I had this program once to shift around the icons on a black berry (battery icon, signal icon etc...)
Is that theme designing?
The whole wheel idea isn't exactly this.
How the wheel functions:
Has an imaginary axis that this circle of radius r (not sure how big yet) spins on.
The wheel can spin in either direction and the spinning speed varies on the swipe speed of the user's finger.
The user can assign which 7-8 apps are placed on the slots on the wheel (equally divided say 45 degrees apart for 8 apps).
Also to put the clock stuff sort of dissolved in the background of the home screen, how hard is that to do? (Optional but I'd prefer it to be fixed).
I don't know who the top 2 developers are (no offense to those guys) I just see a lot of different developing software out there.
As always thank you guys for your replies.

Didn't someone post something that had been done along these lines a few weeks back?
not sure where I had seen it originally...but here is what I believe I had previously seen..it's the "chariot effect" in GO launcher EX

Could very well be man.
There's 7 billion people so lots of mind.
This is just for myself sure I'd share but I am highly an aesthetics guy (ie going to school for industrial design/engineering).

Seems like an awesome idea to me .. as far as I can tell though it would need some rom development as well as an entire launcher. I dont think you can just move the status bar. I could very well be wrong though. the rest im pretty sure could just be done with a launcher though. I'd help if I could but I wouldnt know where to start :/

well it is possible for apps to hide the stock notification bar and then you could in theory get access to the notification and status interfaces and do that with just a launcher app. but it wouldn't be as efficient as a framework mod but it wouldn't be easy either way.

A food for thought
I'd also like to not have the stupid giant time in the top portion of the screen
I was thinking that a see through calendar appointment / list would be there instead (business)
I also (space optimization) would place the notification as a concentric outer circle on the outside of the app wheel with a small tab with the time on it.

[THEME] Opulence - One-Click Downloadable Home-Screen

PrecieUX: Opulence is a one-click-applicable home screen decoration pack for BuzzLauncher users. Even if you have never used BuzzLauncher before, you can easily apply this beautiful home screen on your own device (whichever phone it may be) with a few clicks. If you do find it appealing, how-to-apply procedures are prepared for you at the bottom of this post.
Before moving on, please watch the teaser video I've prepared for you. I took time and care producing this video, so please watch in HD!
As the video read, certain privileges are available to only a number of special people. . . people like you. Opulence will bring the luxurious life-style that you deserve to your phone.
Ground up photoshopped matching pixel-to-pixel accuracy, tile-icons boast elegant details in even the phones with the highest resolution available in market today: Full HD (1920 x 1080). Designed and developed using Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4, Opulence is compatible with devices with other resolutions such as but not limited to HD (1280 x 720) or WVGA (800 x 480). Do not worry whether Opulence is going to look the same on your phone, because BuzzLauncher will automatically adjust layout and size of icons for your phone, whichever screen-size or resolution it may have.
Opulence is composed of 3 tabs: Main, Media and RSS. When you're in each of the three tabs, bottom of the tab you're in will glow to indicate the tab you're in. To switch to a certain tab, simply touch the tab you wish to switch to. Switching tab-to-tab is simply gorgeous: it feels like turning on a light-bulb by pressing on it.
The first tab of Opulence is "Main". Graceful widgets intuitively deliver to you information regarding date, time, your schedule, location and the weather. It has never been easier to see the important information so conveniently and so tastefully. Bottom third of the screen has short-cuts to the most necessary functions of your smartphone: downloading new applications, contacting your friends through social network services (folder containing short-cuts to different apps) and using your telephony services. The bottom dock is constant in all 3 tabs. Left tells you the percentage of battery you have left, and right tells you the time. Pressing the "Apps" icon will summon your phone's app-drawer that has all of your applications.
The second tab is your playground. It is worth a lot to live up to tight schedules, but sometimes you should enjoy good music or watch sensational movies. A big album-art of the album you're listening to decorates your second tab, so this tab will be automatically personalised to you individually according to the music you prefer. Without having to leave your home-screen, you can control your music player using the stylish control-icons already prepared for you. The Internet icon connects you to Google Chrome (but the short-cut can be directed to another application if you prefer another browser), and the Multimedia icon is a folder that contains apps most frequently used when listening to music or viewing your pictures and videos.
The third tab, as its name implies, has a gigantic RSS reader widget. Just pull out your phone from your pocket and unlock; the information you want to read will be updated and ready for you. (Press the bottom right corner of the RSS widget to add/remove RSS feeds). If the website you like does not support RSS, you can also choose to make bookmarks to your favorite websites and store them in the Bookmarks folder on the same screen.
To have PrecieUX: Opulence as your home-screen, please follow these steps:
* for convenience, you can choose to access http://www.bluepremium.co.kr/entry/PrecieUX-Opulence-Global. Then you can simply press on the following links.
