[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

[Widget] Speedlauncher app launcher

Hi There,
I am relatively new to XDA Dev forum, although a long time developer. We've got a vibrant community here so as a budding Android developer let me introduce myself with my first Android app! Speedlauncher app launcher widget !! Let me describe my app for your feedback.
Many of us install a ton of apps on our phone and have to constantly scroll up and down screens to find a specific game or app. Its pretty annoying at times. Speedlauncher is a different take on the launcher concept. Speedlauncher is an app launcher widget that launches any app by pressing a 1 or 2 digit shortcode. So for e.g. you might have shortcode 9 for Angry Birds, 18 for Facebook, 27 for Twitter and so on....
You need to add Speedlauncher on your homescreen from the widgets list to be able to use it. I'm giving the Android market link below as well as the QR code.http://market.android.com/details?id=com.bapatsoftware.android.SpeedLauncher
{
"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"
}
I have also attached few screenshots with this post.
Please give it a try and share your real feedback both negative and positive as that will help me in refining the app.
Thanks,
Omkar

I hav'nt tried the widget but my impression is that it might be a bit difficult to use, as you have to memorize the number of each application you want to launch.
What if instead you make an alphanumeric keyboard, where you can type in the first 2-3 letters of the name of an application and it starts listing all applications containing this letters in the name? From this pop up list you can then launch the one you want.

Very nice & useful app/widget osbapat But i think Claus is right, please think about it

It is a nice suggestion but an app for that is already available (kinda works the same way as SmartDial, but to launch apps).
This concept is not bad at all. Yes, you need to memorize the speed dials, but if you have some contacts on speed dials it should flow rather well. I would be nice to be able to have a reminder of what is what.
Edit: nvm, just saw the "Edit" button

Thanks to all of you for your valuable feedback! I will try to improve my app.
@egzthunder1, do you think a screen that displays only the app name and assigned shortcode, to quickly scan which shortcode is given for which app will be useful?
Thanks and Regards,
Omkar S. Bapat

Well, I rather create folder with apps. But you could do something like t9 search (similar to t9 dialer)

I think it will help.... kinda like having a quick guide on regular land line phones....

I think a t9 launcher makes more sense and is much easier to use. Indeed, reminding all those shortcut codes is not convenient at all. As far as I know there is no t9 launcher for android, so +1 from me for making one .
I also prefer an app over a widget...

i suggest you will use a t9 like suggestions :
lets say i configured number 10,11,12 as Email,Gmail,Phone
when i'l just press '1' ill see an icon of all 3 apps above as a suggestion.
i think your idea is great.

Speedlauncher Version 1.0.5 released!
Thanks for your feedback. Based on the feedback received so far I have made 2 changes to the app:
1) Added a new screen for quick reference of shortcodes to apps. To access this screen tap on the SCode button on the widget
2) Changed the UI of the widget buttons

Omkar

[APP][1.6+] App Dialer 3.0 [update: better ordering, auto hide keyboard]

Hey, it's me again. You may be using my apps like Mario Live Wallpaper, Video Live Wallpaper, or WiimoteController. This time I come with a completly free (early) Christmas present to you guys at xda-devs and all other users of my apps!
I present to you... App Dialer
App dialer is an app launcher that can be used to find installed apps and start them very quickly. Today's Android devices have a lot of memory that users often spend on apps and games. Some users have as much as 400 applications installed on their device and navigating a list of apps or swiping between screens and screens of app icons just to find one can take a lot of time.
App Dialer can be used to quickly filter a large list of apps down to just a few or even just one item in just a few seconds.
There are a few app launching apps out there but what sets App Dialer from the rest is the way app list is filtered. Instead of using an awkward on-screen QWERTY keyboard, App Dialer comes with a built-in numeric keyboard. You can just dial out apps' names just like you would dial a spellable phone number. Button 2 represents A, B or C, button 3 represents D, E or F, and so on. Want the Browser? Dial 2769737 (spelled "browser"). Want the Gallery? Dial 4255379 (spelled "gallery"). It is that easy!
Having a numeric keyboard means having big, easy to hit buttons that can be hit quickly and accurately with only one hand. The app list updates and shrinks as you dial so there is a great chance that you will not have to dial the complete name before the app is already going to appear on the top of the list. With some practice (you might already have years of practice writing SMS messages this way) you will be able to launch any app on your device in three seconds or less, regardless of how many apps you have installed.
App Dialer highlights:
easy to use
can be started by long-pressing the search button (if your device has it)
can be started via a notification icon
starts fast, can be made even faster by turning off icons
quick dial for up to 10 favorite apps
pin selected apps to the top of the list
donation-supported, but otherwise free and ad-free!
This app is completly free. However it is donation-supported like all of my other apps. If you find it useful, please consider donating.
Get it from the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.appdialer

this is a great idea! good job man

I've just made an update to this app. You can read all about it above. Changelog is in the second post.

Sorry about double posting, but I've just made another update. Details in the second post.

How is the importance order set? Does it keep a count of which app we choose more when we click them in app dialer? Great feature! It has really improved the speed and relevance of the result, I rarely use my app drawer thanks to this app

No, it's simpler than that. It is a combination of the alphabetical order and the position of the match (ie. the sooner the match is found in the app's name, the more important that app will be).

How can I make this the default app over the Google search box apk?. I move it to system and rename but still wants the long press to active the app.

[Request] Do It Yourself Keyboard

I didn't read anything about whether it is ok to make requests here or not, so I just give it a try.
If I do something wrong, please tell me.
######################################################
Introduction:
Many of you may already know it, the lack of functionality on your keyboard.
No matter what kind of keyboard replacer you installed, there is always this situation where you need some other functionality like a different key layout.
Just imagine those situations:
The standard android keyboard fits quite well for you and there are no problems surfing the internet and sending some mails.
But you work as an html and php coder and you like to do some work on the train. You could download a fitting keyboard for that, but now you have to change the keyboard all the time depending on what you are doing.
In addition you are a math/law/chemistry/whatever student and need those damn +-*/%&$§ so often it drives you crazy. Another keyboard would fit, but again: changing the keyboard all the time?
In addition you are from spain and speak german with your family. You would want to have äöü aswell as ñ in your keyboard.
There are so many scenarios a developer needs to consider when creating a new keyboard app, it's nearly impossible to cover all of them.
Those keys are there on the keyboard, but the user needs to press 1 or 2 additional buttosn just to find them!
So by bringing those buttons to the main keyboard (or wherever the user needs them to be faster) we can enhance productivity on tablets and smartphones a lot!
Just imagine you had a keyboad that allowes you to:
- create your own unique keyboard layout, fitted for YOUR needs!
- create profiles for YOUR activities and switch them easily with just 2 taps!
- asign profiles directly to apps, so they get set to active whenever that ap is opened!
Sounds awesome, doesn't it?
So how should this work?
Let me talk about the android keyboard and explain with that example how my idea could be realized.
This is what we have:
{
"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"
}
We can divide the elements in different parts.
The core of every keyboard are the letters, a-z:
(Note: I centered the keys)
These are the core keys on your keyboard.
In addition you have some advanced controll keys, like caps, tab etc.
And last but not least (actually the thing we need to fit stuff to our needs) are additional keys that can take various functions like '.' ',' '!' '?' '@' etc....
So these are the keys we need to add to make the keyboard work like we want, so it actually improves our productivity.
ok ok, we got that. Get to the real deal!
What does the user need to make a keyboard fit his or her needs?
1) Add rows
The easiest way is adding an additional layer above with more keys, for example the numbers 1-9 like ASUS did.
Easy, clean, exactly what we need.
But just adding more and more layers would result in confusion, so we need to change more stuff
2) Change the Size of the buttons
Sounds simple, but making buttons smaller is a real space safer! And that's exactly the point, we need SPACE to add additional keys. If I get space for 2 additional keys per row it can be a great advantage for my productivity!
3) Add buttons
Already talked about it and this should be the main feature.
We just got some nice space for buttons and we just add them with the function YOU want. need < > to fasten your html coding? add it to your keyboard! Using a lot of € $ + - / * since you are a smartass stockbroker? Add it directly to the keyboard! Learning another language you need other letters for at school? Add those to your keyboard!
Once again: you CAN get those keys on your keyboard already, but it always takes time and additional taps on your screen. if you want to have a key on your main keyboard because you are usign it so ****ing often THIS will save you time and enhance productivity!
If anybody of you guys is interested in creating something awesome, please contact me!
I am not a coder.
I just had the problems described above a lot and didn't find a fitting ap.

The truly greatest keyboard I ever used was the "Day Hand Input" (or something like this) for Symbian.
It's speciality was, that besides the ordinary button press you had 4 additional characters on each button used by pressing it und then sliding your finger in one of the four directions. You had literaly every available character reached by one button press. Also the thing was more or less easily configurable.
When I'll got some free time apart from college, I may start reviving this thing for Android.
Also, here's a screenshot of it:

that's not exactly the point.
What I mean is something like the possibility to create different keyboard profiles with layouts fitted for me + a fast switch so when I want to code something or write an assay it just fits ;-)

[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.
