My WebComic Reader - Android Apps and Games

Hey guys, One weekend I was creating a list of all the webcomics I read on facebook and had the idea to get an android app instead. I looked for some time but most of the already present apps were very limited in the number of comics they provided. So I created one of my own. It has got decent response initially and I have made some updates to it.
Features:
Allows you to select any webcomic or online comic of your choice.
Top comics from Reddit Webcomics subreddit.
No login required.
A huge list of famous comics provided to get you started.
Save/share comics.
Limited size image caching on your device to allow for optimal bandwidth usage.
Simple design.
Here is the link to the app store listing : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viv.comicreader
Needless to say, any feedback is very much welcome. Would love to hear your thoughts about it.
Thanks.

[app requests]

I've seen a few App Requests posted as threads here, and I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to act as a catchall for App Requests. I gather that we have Dev Dudes from major tech corps roaming around these halls, so why not have a list of apps we want as consumers easily available to them!
I'll kick things off with these requests:
-A good, integrated guitar/bass tuner with metronome and practice timer(s)
-Adobe Camera RAW interface
-Adobe Bridge for tablets
-VLC Player for tablets
-DJ mixing software that can use headphone output and HDMI [audio] separately for cue/mix output
Feel free to point us to apps that fill requests as they are developed or if they have existed before the request
Way to develop/compile your own android programs.... (or at least just do the developping/autocomplete, etc would be AWESOME!) and well. an app that could launch a ubuntu distro

I'd like an app that you can instantly take a snapshot of the screen or take a camera snapshot and start to annotate on it right away, e.g you were browsing and came across something of interest and you want to add your own comments and underline or mark a specific area.
I know this can be done using repligo or ezpdf however it will involve a few steps to achieve using the Asus's in built snapshot feature and then converting the document to pdf in order to annotate but I want something instant without having to convert the file first, similar to htc flyers note taking app.
Can't you do this with Evernote? I just downloaded this last night but it seems really slick.

Unfortunately, you cannot annotate using evernote although it is fantastic for taking notes, i use it at work at meetings. I want to be able to take a snapshot of the meeting agenda which is usually printed and then start to add notes against agenda items.
I'm just going to make a list of the things I think will make this brilliant - I'm a very small time developer, and don't have the skills to do these, unfortunately:
Something similar to Microsoft Onenote - Drawing/notes/annotations all in one
"Phone Sync" where you pick up your tablet, and it also becomes your phone for SMS, MMS, Calls, and you can share clipboards between the two - This would be brilliant!
Decent Twitter and Facebook widgets
Modified Launcher with resizable widgets, folders - ideally, LauncherPro optimised for Honeycomb.
I'd like to see the Monkey Island games and some of the old Cinemaware titles such as Defender Of The Crown on Android.

I designed an Android app for tablet which I think would be pretty easy to make, UI, name, logo and all, but... I'm not a programmer. Also I believe this will be an app which would be handy for a lot of people.
Since I designed, thought of and branded the app I really don't just want to give the idea away to anyone, but if any app developer is interested feel free to contact me and I could explain the concept to them.
PS: I don't want a share of the profits or to get paid for it or anything like that, all I would want is to find a developer who could do justice to not only the concept but also to the design since there are so many well functioning but terrible looking android apps.
Excellent posts!
Thanks for the interest and the activity on the thread!
I'm watching a thread where a couple Asus dev dudes have actually weighed in on an issue users are having, so I'm gonna see if I can't point them to this one so we'll have some ears that can make a difference. Hopefully some [all?] of the ideas here will filter thru and become reality!
Kudos to everyone!
I'd like an app that can sync via bluetooth (not via the web/cloud), incoming sms messages/caller id/missed call info, from an android phone directly to the transformer with notifications.
I know there are lots which do it via the web, but this isn't an option for me (pre-pay sim not contract).
EDIT:
Another idea for an app, don't know if possible to implement or not. When browsing google search results it would be nice to have an app that lets you see how many kilobytes or megabytes a website requires you to download, before you accessed the page. So that mobile users can see how much data is required and can manage their free allowance better, or not be charged a fortune.
A media player app that can
1. have gesture controls like moboplayer
2. have good codec support like moboplayer
3. can stream from server
4. and can hide the honeycomb taskbar!!!!
Settlers of Catan map generator
Would be cool to see a Settlers of Catan map generator with support for Seafarers, Cities and Knights, Harbours and a roll counter.
did it ever occur to anyone that now that there is a keyboard and mouse capabilities that someone should port an fps to the transformer?
I would love an app/widget that monitored the battery of both the Transformer and the keyboard dock. It's almost impossible to tell how much juice is left in the keyboard. If someone knows of an app/widget or a built-in way to do that, please let me know.
Edit: I would also love to see a folder app that integrates data from the Market, so if I download a game, it automatically adds it to the Games folder, etc.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Eye-Fi for Android
I'd like to see a version of the EyeFi manager/control center for Android
still hunting for the torrent app to work with private torrents
alternate keyboard
since the dock is still in short supply it would be nice to have the ability to use my android phone as a keyboard/trackpad for my transformer through bluetooth or something. the entire screen could be a landscape keyboard that you could swipe down to access trackpad.

[APP]Scan to pdf - redesigned

Hello all,
Just wanted to make you guys aware of an app that I installed yesterday to convert images and docs to pdf. I have used quite a few of these before however this particular one has been redesigned and is of excellent quality. The new version has been on the market since the 8th july 2011.
The app itself is easy to use and the quality of the pdf's produced are very good. You can also enhance images when creating your pdf's if the images are not that great and they do improve considerably. You can also choose from a number of different paper sizes and the orientation of the docs you produce.
Another excellent feature is when you create multiple pages, you can reorganise the order of the pages by dragging and dropping before creating the pdf.
To view your pdf's, after loading pages and ordering them to your liking, click on the view button and choose your preferred pdf viewer and save as necessary.
Search for "scantopdf free" by a company called "NYM computing"in the market, the free version is fully functional without ads and watermarks however to support the developer, I have purchased the app as it is currently under £1.
If you download and like the free version, leave your positive comments for the developer.

[Free]CardCloud Flashcards Study App

Hi, I recently took an Android Development at my school where I made this Flashcards Study App.
There's still a lot of work I want to complete before I call it finished, but it's a good start I think. I still want to add more quizlet functionality to it (since quizlet.com doesn't seem to have an android app yet.)
Download the App!
Some features:
* Offline Mode to study on the go without an internet connection.
* Adjust card flip speeds in the settings menu
* Long press on a deck to view options
* Shuffle your flashcards
* Search Quizlet to access millions of flashcard sets.
* Edit, Delete, and Create new flashcards with a breeze
* Text-to-speech integration
* Multi-language support
* Identify your strengths and weaknesses by keeping track of how well you know a card.
* Reverse Question and Answer sides on cards
* Improved UI
EDIT:
I attached an apk that you guys can use since I can't seem to post a link to the play store.
Or alternatively, You can search for "CardCloud FlashCards" in the play store to get the official app.
I'd recommend it since I'm planning on pushing a lot of new features in the upcoming weeks.
Thanks!

Hey. Sorry. It doesn't seem to let me post links since I'm a new member.
Here's an uploaded APK file you can use in the meantime
Or you can search for "CardCloud Flashcards" in the play store if you want the official version.
Thanks for trying it out!
Definitely let me know if you run into any problems.
So far nice ui
Works good. Is it possible to share own decks with friends? It would be amazing, also an option for read only and read write permissions for shared decks.

Thanks for the compliments!
Sharing is definitely a feature i'm going to be adding in the feature. Right now i'm torn between integrating some sort of facebook social network to allow for easier sharing. I've been busy trying to learn Ruby on Rails Development and Android Dev at the same time, so the cardcloud website is a bit lacking at the moment. But Sharing is definitely a big feature I want to implement.
Currently I'm in the middle of adding an ability for users to mark each card as easy/hard and then creating an infinite shuffle that will have a smart algorithm to show difficult cards more often.
That should be about two weeks out, and then I'll start working on the Deck sharing.
Great suggestion on the Read/Write permissions too! I think that would be an awesome feature, I've written it down on my notepad, so definitely stay tuned to this thread for any updates I make!
Thanks for trying out my app!
Redesign Icon
Hey buddy I think this app is great for studying and for group activities. Love what you have done. I also like the UI I made this icon for you just cuz i like messing around with Photoshop haha hope you like it
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvTWhEWnlrbFBna2M
Full icon without background or text: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvOEV2U1FEWkVfWXM
Hi. Great app. Is it possible to manually edit or create a set on a PC and transfer / open / import into the application?
A quick way of implementing this might be to add CSV or XML export and import?
Perhaps a link up to Google docs for cloud storage and on line editing?
Also, would you consider the addition of images on the flip cards? Perhaps a HTML format would make this easy to implement? A picture paints a thousand words and all...
Keep up the good work and I hope its a great success.
Steve.
**************************** [Edit] ****************************
Opening a quizlet with images renders nothing visible on the card
Steps to reproduce...
1. Search 2010 Honda Cars
2. Select any of the results
3. See the text (e.g. "2010 Honda civic") but on clicking the card to see the flip side - there is nothing.
Here is what is should look like... http://quizlet.com/1935486/2010-honda-cars-flash-cards/

CardCloud - Flash Cards
CardCloud,
Great effort thus far ... you've added the ability to create card sets! This is HUGE.
Some tips I hope you're able to fix in the coming updates, please.
1. Settings - there should really only be on 'settings' button for the app (the vertical elipses button; top right/bottom right corners).
2. Logon - should be a little more clear "what" service the logon pertains to.
- I thought the ability to logon to Quizlet would work with this ?? I'm an Android newb and I've already realized things are "assumed/presumed" to be known to new users, which its not clear on many applications or the OS itself.
3. KEEP the "skip logon" this is critical and I've come across many notes type apps that I cannot even create a note when in the subway because they require a persistent internet connection = total pain in the ass and useless! You've got a good thing going with this "skip logon" ability please KEEP IT Much appreciated.

Thanks! I'm planning on adding that feature pretty soon. Right now I'm on the verge of adding support for marking cards as either correct or incorrect. Also I'm adding in an in-app purchase to remove ads. I've also been working on the website portion of my app (cardcloud.net) which will allow you to upload your local decks onto a website (once you create an account) once it's uploaded, you'll be able to export from the site.
That's still a work in progress, hopefully in a week or two, I'll have that ready for you.
In the meantime, you can expect an update for marking the correctness of each card in the next day or two!
Thanks for the compliments, and thanks for trying out my app!

Hey! Supa_Fly, thanks for the kind words.
I really like the idea of the skip button for logins. The reason the login is there is to allow users to sync their decks with the website portion of the app. (CardCloud.net) But I've been busy working on the app and haven't had a chance to get the webapplication completed yet. Hopefully in the next week or two You'll be able to backup your local decks/cards onto a website, where you can save them on a computer.
The settings functionality is a bit confusing, so I've done a bit of tinkering with it to make it more intuitive to use. Thanks for the suggestions though! I really appreciate the feedback.
In the meantime, I'm working on a v1.2 release which will allow users to mark cards as either correct/incorrect/half-correct/etc, to help with remembering your learning progression. Keep an eye out for that. Hopefully I'll be able to push that up to the google store by tomorrow. I'll also update this thread once that's complete!
Thanks again for trying my app!
Hey. Just uploaded an update to the current App on the Appstore.
Some New features:
* Identify your strengths and weaknesses by keeping track of how well you know a card. Mark a card as Correct/Incorrect/etc
* Reverse Question and Answer sides on cards
* Improved UI
* Settings AutoSave when changed, rather than having to hit a save button
* When Viewing a Deck from Quizlet, download the deck directly from the cardview for your convenience.
* Change your settings (flipspeed and question/answer reversal) from the cardview.

Hi, my girlfriend wrote out 20 sets as study for her exam on Wednesday. Her phone updated your app and it seems her card sets have been deleted (or lost). :crying:
Is your new updated version deleting user inputted card sets?
I'd greatly appreciate a quick response if you have a way to retrieve them.
PS, where are the card sets saved? In files (what location in phone)? Perhaps we can retrieve them manually?
Thanks, Steve.
Hey sd00, I'm really really really sorry that happened.
I found a bug in my code that was clearing the sqlite DB on updates.
I fixed the bug, but unfortunately it looks like her cards have been wiped.
This is embarrassing, I'm a noob and didn't realize that would happen.
There's nothing I can do, but promise it won't happen again.
For what it's worth, If I sent you guys an ad free version of that app, would that help?
Again, I'm really sorry, let me know what I can do to try to make it better.
I'm working on the ability to create decks online and then sync them to your phone, so hopefully that'll make it easier in the future to recreate the decks.
(If you'd like, you can even send me the questions/answers and I'll type them back up for her myself.
if you pm me an email address, I can send you an apk for the free version too.
Again, I apologize for my noobness.
For such a new app - this was an unforeseen mistake by the developer. The fact that he's VERY apologetic and this app does offer some great features over the competition I'll still support this app!
As experience is gained and more testing directly by the developer we'll this app continually excel and grow in feature sets and less bugs. Not many people appreciate developers' hard work and even less developers are as humble as this one.

Hey Supa_Fly, thanks for the kind words and support! It's been a lot of fun working on this app and I've learned a lot from the experience. Hopefully as I improve, so will the app. Sorry again to sd00 for the bug. I spent a few days testing and retesting to make sure it wouldn't happen again before I pushed up the newest update this afternoon.
I've been working on the syncing functionality the last week or so and I got it finally working the way I wanted. Not 100% yet, but allowing users to create their decks online I think is a necessary feature, since writing out individual cards on a phone is a pain. I'd like to tweak it a bit to make syncs work faster/better, but I'm slightly limited by my web server since it's a bit slow. Hopefully if I can generate any revenue through the app, I'll be able to put it towards faster servers. I'll keep an eye on the bug log to make sure nothing goes awry though.
I've pushed the new features up onto CardCloud.net allowing users to login to their accounts and create their cards online. Also, I uploaded the app updates to the google play store so users should be able to get the updated app with fixed functionality. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up this time .
In the meantime, I have a couple new features in the pipes that I'm working on that I think should improve the app. Hopefully I'll be able to get these pushed out in the upcoming weeks:
- Image support for flashcards. Definitely a top priority feature, should have an update for this within the next few weeks.
- Rich Text Editing. Another top level feature I want for the app.
- Better Quizlet integration. Search for usernames, and returning public decks, recently studied, etc
Anyways, sorry for the wall of text. When I get new features implemented for this app, I will post them here.
Development stops?

PhotosphereViewer.net - Easily view Photospheres online

Hey guys,
Hope this is the right place to post this. If not, please move it to the right section. Thx.
Just wanted to draw your attention on a small website for easy Photosphere viewing I created a few days ago:
PhotosphereViewer.net
What is PhotosphereViewer.net?
We provide a service to view one of Android's latest and most exciting features: Photospheres. Photospheres are 360° panoramic photographs which can be viewed interactively on your mobile phone, tablet, Google Plus and Google Maps, whereas the two last-mentioned ways of viewing Photospheres are only available if you upload your photos onto Google's servers.
Personally, I don't like to share everything with Google, especially in times of PRISM. That's one of several reasons why I built this website:
I wanted to be able to view Photospheres regardless of Google's services.
To view them anywhere at any time.
Even without an Android device.
To view other people's Photospheres without copying them on a mobile device.
And to give users running older Android versions the chance to view Photospheres as well.
How does it work?
This website is based on the amazing work of Joe "kennydude" Simpson, who developed a way to display Android Photospheres in your browser with ease. PhotosphereViewer.net is wrapped around his efforts, making it easy for everyone to enjoy fascinating Photospheres within a few seconds. All my thanks go to him, I just made it look a bit nicer and made it available for everyone within a few seconds.
Will my Photospheres be stored on your server?
No! We do not save any of your data. No files, no EXIF data, no porn bookmarks. The Photosphere images are loaded locally in your browser's cache, that's it.
Is this a free service?
Yes, enjoy it and spread the word!
How does it work?
Simply watch this video:
That's it, hope you'll ilke it.
Step by, visit: http://photosphereviewer.net/

Hey guys,
did some tweaking during the last weeks. Rendering should now look a bit better and should be a bit faster.
Also, some minor design changes and a new tutorial.

[App][2.2+] Stats Calculator

Hello everybody. Hopefully, I have something that some of you will find pretty handy. My app is a calculator for statistics (if you couldn't figure that out) that I think is the best-designed and easiest to use on the market so far (why else would I promote it?). It covers most basic statistics like mean, median, and mode and also many permutations and combinations (full list below).
I wish I could post some pictures or a direct link, but unfortunately I'm brand new. Hopefully, I don't get in trouble for this, but I'd like to at least make it easier for you, if you're interested:
/store/apps/details?id=me.nickpierson.StatsCalculator (3rd reply has full link. Thanks cyansmoker!)
Also, I've included the APK with this post. The app has no ads in it and the source code is open for viewing on Github (message me for link).
Here's the list of ALL the calculations that it can perform:
Size
Sum
Minimum
Maximum
Arithmetic Mean (average)
Geometric Mean
First Quartile
Median
Third Quartile
Interquartile Range
Mode
Range
Sample Standard Deviation
Population Standard Deviation
Sample Variance
Population Variance
Coefficient of Variance
Kurtosis
Skewness
Factorial
Subfactorial (or Derangements)
Permutation
Permutation with repetition allowed
Combination
Combination with repetition allowed
Indistinguishable Permutations
Pigeonhole
The app also contains plenty of handy features to make calculating statistics easier - like saving lists, and a custom built-in keypad. If you would like the full details, I encourage you to check it out in the play store ("Stats Calculator", blue Sigma picture, or search "Piersync"). If you would like a quick back-story, read ahead:
This is most certainly not my first android app, but it is by far my most successful one. I'm not a designer, but I did my best to make the UI as clean and useable as possible. Other devs out there are really setting the bar high, and functionality alone doesn't cut it anymore. I've never had an app reach over 500 users, so this is also the first time I'm recieving actual user feedback, and so, I highly appreciate any thoughts that you may have about the app. I'm also the sole developer if you haven't realized that by now. There is also a pro version of the app out there if you'd like some additional functionality.
Lastly, this is my first time making a post on XDA. Hopefully its a good one and I hope you enjoy my app!
Looks very promising, thank you.
No problem! I'm glad you like it.
If anyone has questions or feedback, please comment. I plan on checking this thread frequently.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.nickpierson.StatsCalculator
Thanks cyansmoker! I've updated the OP to point to your post.
checked it.
Effective.
