I've reposted this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133277. Please post there with any feedback and to download the latest version.
TexTab is an SMS app for Android tablets. It allows you to connect your Android 2.1+ tablet to your Android 2.1+ phone over Bluetooth and send/receive SMS messages on your tablet as if you were sending them from your phone.
I've been working on this app for some time now and I feel that it is ready for public beta testing. I encourage everybody to download and install the app on both your phone and tablet, and please provide feedback here.
I would have posted this in the Apps and Games section, but because I have less than 10 posts I was unable to do so. If this should be somewhere else, please feel free to move it.
App Features:
- Honeycomb optimized, though not required
- Push menu button to connect devices via bluetooth, with option to select a device to automatically connect to in settings
- Conversation threads use your Google contact information to display contact info
- Widget with button to enable/disable service, and displays connection information
Known Bugs:
- Service sometimes stops when tablet sleeps for long periods
- Widget buttons are disabled after changing screen orientation (remove/add the widget to re-enable the buttons)
- Service restarts on Asus Transformer if the keyboard dock is attached or removed, requiring the user to re-connect
Future Development:
- Wifi functionality for increased range
- UI improvements
- suggestions?
I look forward to any feedback/bug reports/praise/insults you may have!
Figured it out. Great app, just need some UI work and make it a bit more intuitive. Great start though.
Thanks for the feedback. Can you give some more specific details about what you had trouble with? Also please note, the thread I linked to at the top of the OP has a more recent version of the app and an ongoing discussion.

[APP][07/02/2014] Near Switches (NFC Actions for Gravity Box)
Introduction
Near Switches allows you to use NFC tags with Gravity Box. For each tag you can program 2 different set of actions that will be executed as soon as you touch the tag. For example, you can stich a tag near your home door and so:
When you enter home, you touch the tag and that enables WIFI, disables bluetooth, sets network mode to 2g and sets location to "Battery Save"
When you exit home, touch the tag again and that will disable WIFI, set 2g/3g and location to "High Accuracy"
You can use different tag for your home, your car, your office...
Images
Features
Launch Gravity Box Actions using NFC Tags, without dealing with intents.
Enable / Disable WIFI and Bluetooth.
Two different action sets for each label.
Actions configuration saved in your phone. So you can set different actions for different phones while using the same tag.

FAQ
What is a NFC tag?
NFC means Near Field Communication. NFC technology enables simple and safe two-way interactions between electronic devices, allowing consumers to perform contactless transactions, access digital content, and connect electronic devices with a single touch. NFC tags are little devices that doesn't even need a battery. It can be included in stickers, keyrings,... Stickers are really cheap (less than 4€ 5 stickers in ebay)
You can find more info about NFC here:
http://nfc-forum.org/what-is-nfc/about-the-technology/
What is Gravity Box?
GB is a a complex Xposed module targeted for devices running Android 4.4, which turns vanilla ROM into feature-packed "non-flashing" custom ROM.

Why is not this app in the Play Store?
Because I don't have enough money . A developer account in Google Play Store costs 30$. I don't need to earn money with this app, but I don't want to lose either. So I'm receiving donations only for that. When I reach 30$ (If I ever do) I'll remove the donation link and add it to Play Store.
So please, don't upload it with your own account. That would not let me to upload it in the future...
So, What about donations?
As I stated before, I don't want to earn money with this app. So if you can only afford a beer, please take it yourself. If you can afford two, donate one of them to C3C076. If you can afford three or more, I'll be grateful with your donation. But let me be clear, that will have no influence in what new features are developed. You can find the donation link near my name.
Why is Amazon showing NFC Switches as the applicattion name?
Ha Ha, good question. App was at first named NFC Switches. But then Amazon told me that NFC is a trademark and is not even registered by the nfc-forum, so I had to change the app name. But I don't know why Amazon is still showing the old name. I'll have to write them
Does this app work in Gravity Box JB?
I think it'll do. But it's untested. Please let me know. It works.
How can I help?
You can help me with translations. Just let me know.
Would like to try, but I don't want to install Amazon App Store and the other DDL link leads to a paypal donation?

Sorry. It was a mistake. Fixed.
You had the Downloads tab also
So finally it's alive
Great idea and the app looks quite sexy, too!
I'll try some day when I get opportunity to get some tags from somewhere.
Hi all,
We’re a small London based team with a mix of past experience directly at Android, Amazon & Apple and having built successful apps in the past such as utter! We’re creating a smart text based file manager called Gluru - built around the objective of trying to save time & trying to predict what you need (hopefully before you even know) - as a result we’re recruiting early testers and looking to get much needed feedback to improve the app. It’s really early days! The app is free for XDA testers - simply request an invite at: www.gluru.co
OR @ via the Google play link here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gluru.android.core&ah=uGBuHY10kqclbX5pnZdQIWsNjus
Ultimately as we develop this and role out future updates we believe this will supercharge workflow collaboration as a file explorer with a brain that learns from you either individually or as a team. It’s early days but we believe we’re on to something pretty exciting with the machine learning platform & algorithms that have been built and of course the early version of the app available at the link below - which we’re also quickly going to iterate because we know it’s not perfect. This is where you come in! As mentioned the app is free for XDA testers - simply request an invite at: www.gluru.co
Couple of example use cases to get the juices flowing (feature list further down):
- need a file for that call? receive a call and get the files you need immediately for that conversation
- need the slide deck for that meeting? get the files you need for that meeting in the moment.
- looking for that file and can’t remember where it is? search across & view all your connected sources in one simple place.
Gluru learns from you the more you use it. Simply swipe away the less relevant file suggestions and it will optimise itself.
We need your feedback to help tweak our event interaction. What use cases do you think we’ve missed?
You can give us feedback in 3 ways:
- via this forum
- via the specific XDA email address we’ve set-up: [email protected]
- or via the feedback form here: https://gluru.co/feedback/
We really want to understand what’s useful, what works, what doesn’t, suggestions for improvements, ideas for new features and just general feedback if the mood takes you Feedback is super valuable for us at this stage to help us build & iterate quickly.
A ‘highlights list’ of Gluru features is below for more info. We’ll endeavour to get back to all comments as quickly as we can!
Many thanks for all you help & valuable feedback!
Tim & Ben
Gluru - a simple file manager with a brain
Highlights:
- simple local file manager
- connect and manage external sources to consolidate storage in one place: Gdrive, Dropbox, Box, Onedrive, Evernote, Gmail, Gcal, Exchange
- create virtual hierarchy across all sources, simply add files from any source without physically moving them into a ‘virtual’ Gluru folder
- a simple view showing the most recent files sent by your contacts
- via the Gluru Footprint, get a quick understanding of the important stuff about each file - every file is summarised into its most important points, related files are surfaced, anyone who has touched it is surfaced, all links are extracted and any relevant news related to your file is highlighted
- switch smart notifications on or off so that files are sent to you in the moments you need them
- the more you use Gluru, the more it learns from you to enhance your recommendations
Please note - Gluru does not move your files unless you decide to - Gluru is just the connective link between them. They remain in the storage sources you’ve designated.
Gluru is currently in alpha invite stage - so we really value your feedback. As we can’t respond in detail here, please do leave any comments, feedback or bug reports via our feedback form here:
https://gluru.co/feedback/
Known bugs (that are being fixed!):
- Events - fix some swipe actions, fix dismiss/ delete animations
- Lag - occasional lag in some areas as the app is caching
- Visuals - improvements in some areas of design resolution
- Footprint news - related news accuracy not upto scratch - big(!) improvements coming soon
Coming soon:
- Auto-push - designate a cloud source and all email attachments which automatically pushed to a folder in that source
- Multiple user and device support for teams
- Notification learning acceleration
- Projects
- People Improvements
- Events Improvements
Platform & apps:
Gluru works by using its patent pending smart machine learning platform. The platform is accessible through the Gluru android app. There will soon be a website, an iOS app & an api for developers & enterprise to use the platform.
Language support:
Currently Gluru assistant is optimized for English. Other languages are coming soon.

Hi Rosa - thanks so much for posting. We're committed to being transparent and open. Security and privacy mean everything to us and as a result we've been careful to build this in a way that maintains that. We've talked about open sourcing this at somepoint in the future but we're not quite ready yet. Very happy to answer any questions that may come up and also keen for people to test the app and give us feedback. You can deauth the app at any time which deletes your account instantly. I hope this helps!
OK, thank you. I filed an invite request. :good:
Thank you all for the fantastic feedback so far via our direct email and feedback forms. Can I encourage direct postings on this thread so that any answers can benefit the community. Many thanks!
The new Trycorder 5.2.3 is in the download section on top of this page
Now with Trycorder5, The Trycorder is connecting with a central server who receive every orders from planetary trycorders. Those orders are logged, and executed on the server. (Some Text-To-Voice system here translate your action into an audible message on the bridge (the development computer area))
The Main Intelligence of the central server can respond to you.
Download : http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15530#downloads
Screenshots : http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15530#screenshots
Manual : https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22505
For the non-trekkies, a Trycorder is a portable measuring tool, communication tool, and remote-control tool for your Starship.
This is an itch I had to scratch for a long time.
I wanted a full fledged trycorder without announcements, free as a beer, and free public code.
I did'nt found what i was searching for, so I made one.
The wish to have a full trycorder was so strong, I had to Learn Java, Learn Android-Studio, Learn Android Programming, starting with a classic "Hello World!" program, Learn Activities, Fragments, Permissions, and the rest, and all of this Before I started a single line of my project.
After 3 long and painful months, I finally started the project, and drived it to a version 1.0, where I decided to share my fun with others.
With this Trycorder, You can do the following:
- Look, feel, and sound like the federation trycorder.
- Fits in your pocket, so you can beam out on demand.
- Scan your environment, temperature, pressure, light, magnetic, gravity, orientation,...
- Control the device by voice-command. (Press top left, and say "computer fire" or "computer beam me up" for example)
- Take pictures and recordings from your findings on new planets.
- Remote control your own starship, fire, communications, shields, transporter, viewer, ...
(You have to provide the starship, and make sure it is on the wifi router that you use).
- Consult logs of operations. View the pictures and recordings you got back from your away mission.
- View Magnetic, Orientation, Gravity, Temperature sensors values drawn in the sensor area.
- View Phaser, Torpedo, Transporter operation in your sensor screen.
- View Shields, Communication Waveform, Tractor Beam sensor animation on your sensor screen.
- The application is usable in space, provided your phone is space-proof, and you wear a space-suit.
- The application can be adapted easily for different starships remote protocols.
- For captains only: Crew Information and Evaluation module. (to be found under logs/crew) (Contacts access)
- The communication module is real and functionnal between all trycorders on the planet and in orbit as long you are connected to the public internet.
- And many more to come ...
Here it is.
Download the APK, and install from here in the Downloads section (on top of this page).
or Download the sources on github and have fun with android studio (Download link below).
Dont forget to come back here and give me your advice, comments, appreciations or depreciations as well.
And if you have some ideas to propose, or code to submit, i would be glad to add it to the main trycorder application.
Tested on:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GT-I9250): CyanogenMod 6.0.1, CyanogenMod 5.1.1
Motorola Moto-G (XT-1032): CyanogenMod 6.0.1, CyanogenMod 4.4.4
Samsung Ace-II (GT-S7560M): CyanogenMod 4.4.4
LG P705g: Stock 4.0.3 (unrooted plain stock)
Tablet Datawind 7Ci, Android-4.1
Please tell me of your success so i can add to the list of tested phones.
Remember: Every button has a function, and every surface is used and clickable. some functions may not be obvious, like speech recognition that you activate by clicking in the top left corner in the curve. (just try "fire" , "beam me up", "and others you think of..." , or read the source code for a complete list of words who trigger actions.)
The trycorder contains more than 40 operating buttons, 9 animations, dozens of sounds, around 8 sensors, speech recognition and voice interaction, and a new captains-only crew evaluation and information module, now, at version 1.9.1
Have FUN !!!
For those who have a Force-Close on first opening, make sure your android device is setup this way.
Have Google Text-to-Speech installed and running in default us-english (and more if you need)
Have Google voice recognition active for us-english (and more if you need)
Have Google map installed (optionnal but nice to locate yourself on the current planet)
Have Location service Enabled (GPS)
Have Wifi operationnal (for info about your internet connection in the info panel, and location service)
Allow all five permissions that the application ask for.
For those who write android code too, this trycorder is made of hundreds of differents examples
in the differents forums i follow. This is a good example of over-populated buttons groups, with a lot of
examples applications all mixed together, trying to look like to a useful tool.
This fantastic tool, helped me learn everything (hum! almost) in android where I had an itch for.
Now people on XDA have a fantastic toy, to play with, learn in, and impress friends.

Trycorder functions
Here is what this Trycorder can do.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Look, feel and sound like a real one.
Use your phone sensors to scan your environment.
Use your camera to detect alien lifeforms.
Respond to voice commands.
Control almost fully every operations of your orbiting starship, by remote control.
You can beam up to your ship autonomously, (you have to provide the starship).
And a lot of other scientific functions.
In fact, you can fly around the galaxy with it, and use it on every planet you wish,
provided that this planet is part of the federation, and have a GPS satellite system.
If your phone is Space-Proof(tm) , you can even use it in space outside the starship
(use of a Space-Suit is recommended for use in space)

Thank you for that. Just an FYI... When using the XDA mobile app, the download section doesn't show up. At least for me anyway. Now that I am on a PC, I see the download section and the link. Downloading now
For those who liked this trycorder, I uploaded a version 1.1 today.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sent from my slow development computer.
Since i cant stop adding features, here is the version 1.2 (Download links in announcement)
Changelog:
Added a sound wave visualizer.
prepared the code for many other enhancements.
A brand new 1.4 version just hit the download section today.

this application need a lot of permissions, on MM you have to set the permissions yourself
go to:
Settings -> Apps -> Trycorder -> Permissions
and then give all permission requested
I wish i could find a way to set it automatically,
with KitKat and Lolipop the problem do not happen

The version 1.7 is out.
Its supposed to solve all Force-Close. (mainly due to speech recognition)
Let me know of your success or bugs.
Wow! the 1.8 version is out. I will take a pause before the version 1.9.0.
mainly this version contains no specific changes from 1.7, and is declared stable enough for mass production.
I am working now on a brand new extension to the trycorder, (for captains only), and will keep it a secret for now.
Remember: Every button has a function, and every surface is used and clickable. some functions may not be obvious, like speech recognition that you activate by clicking in the top left corner in the curve. (just try "fire" , "beam me up", "and others you think of..." , or read the source code for a complete list of words who trigger actions.)

Have FUN !!!
The version 1.9.0 just hit the Download area. (for captains only)
It introduce the Crew Information and Evaluation Module. (Contacts)
Its found in the Logs/Crew button.
Have fun!
Oufffff. The version 1.9.1 is out.
Full integration of Crew Evaluation and Information module in the trycorder. (Contacts)
Lets take a break.... few hours, maybe days.
I will be back with starship inventory module. (hopefully)
If some of you have success running the application, please report to me ,
so i can know what you like or not.

Hi, I'm looking for betatesters for my first app. Well, it's neither the first approach of an electronic version of a shopping list nor is it the coolest, sexiest, or whatever app, but
- it is simple, useful and easy to control (one touch strategy for the most common operations)
- safe, as you can see when checking the required permissions
- free of advertising
If you want to give it a try, checkout play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.dirk_prueter.shoppinglist or search for Pruedis shopping list in Googles Play Store.
Getting your feedback would be great!
V1.1.9 available
added the new feature that the screensaver (for the list screen) can be deactivated (when you are on your shopping trip).
Features in the pipeline are a favorites function that enables you to select items you added before from a list and the possibility to ex-/import your shopping list.
Still in beta version?

Does in-app purchase use for extra features or is it just for donation?
Just for donation.
Thanx for your interest and as already mentioned - testing is free and unlimited, except the request for donation after one day.
Getting a feedback here or in Play Store would be great!
