META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

Guys is anyone having trouble with text and background colors?
So far so good.. Been having a problem of not updating the widget properly with a previous version.. But it's resolved now..
I use it for a local weather website, however, when I'm setting it up, I can choose the image (with difficulty) when I'm on desktop or android mode within the app . But nothing shows up.. As if it's transparent.
But if I choose iphone mode. It works..
Dunno if u got my point.. I'll attach pictures
The website is http://meteo.search.ch/geneve
Thx for trying to fix it.

Looks like there are some dodgy tags around the images. Try using the buttons to avoid capturing the wrong element.
Im sorry but html is very difficult to represent visually - the selector is as good as it will ever get.
1.0.2.10
Reworked parser logic for compatibility
Reworked padding system in some circumstances
Fixed compatibility issues with Nova and others
Fixed title text size caching issue
Fixed a number of device specific problems from user logs
works well thank you...
thanks a lot..
The best thanks is a nice review on the Play Store - good ratings help me spend more time on improving the app
Hi,
I have recently installed Meta Widget. I thought i could use it to grab the market headline from www.ft.com, i have managed to grab one article, but i want to be able to scroll all the market headlines.
Is this possible?
Many thanks in advance,
Mike
Yes, it should be possible. Remember, you need an element that has a lot of similar elements if you want to make a list. So for example, in ft markets it should be the title of the ones 1/3 down the page that say EQUITIES CURRENCIES etc.

Everything OK with the recent JB updates?

First of all: bravo! The browser looks awesome!
After that, I'd like to show you some little problems I've met on my lil' Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0": (sorry I can't add pics)
if you compare the real space for the page that Chrome is giving us:
http: //dl.dropbox.com/u/315701/Screenshot_2012-09-17-22-44-47.png
with the one that your app is providing (is it yours, btw?)
http: //dl.dropbox.com/u/315701/Screenshot_2012-09-17-22-53-03.png
you'll discover that there's really too little space for the web pages :\
I know, there are maybe just few pixels less, but that big fat gray bar is killing me lol
why don't you use all the available space for the bookmarks/start page?
http: //dl.dropbox.com/u/315701/Screenshot_2012-09-17-22-43-57.png
could you please provide the user agent for tablets in the list of the available choices? just use the one that the Nexus 7 is using, for example (as a workaround I've set the one that Chrome is using)
Keep up the good job!

Whats the difference with tint browser?
Im using tint... and would using holo too if there will be playstore automatic updates)
But i want to know whats the difference with tint
Not bad. Maybe takes a second to render clear text when scrolling but its good.
Good one! But still a plenty of work to do. SwiftKey is not showing predictions wherever I type - a login or a message. Used it about ten minutes, in the end I couldn't launch the keyboard tapping on a blank field.
The good thing is I could choose the words to quote in a forum. Stock jb browser and opera fail to do it.
Bravo! Looking forward to seeing this updated!
Great browser, pages loads extremely fast!
2 things though:
- That bar on the end of the page could be more transparent so we could be able to see more of the page
- I don't know if it's just with me but after typing the web adress I want using Swype keyboard and hiting enter button the page don't start loading, I need to click on the browser button to do so and it's a bit annoying.
Despite those 2 things , congrats, it's a great app and definitely I'm setting it as my main browser!
This is tint I assume?
Need better navigation between tabs and get rid of that stupid semi-transparent bar at the bottom.
Sent from my XperiaS via transwarp conduit.
Pretty good so far. Sexy as hell. Not liking that white bar at the top though, and it has some lag/stuttering.
So far so good on my Sensation running Jelly Bean
Very fast browser. Should add a option to toggle the bottom search bar from showing after scrolling the page. Also a dark/blue theme would be awesome. Look forward to future updates.

IF YOU'VE FOUND THIS POST, OR ANY OF THESE APPS USEFUL, BE SURE TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!
If you know any unique or useful applications, games or widgets please suggest them in this thread so I can check them out. If I think they're good, I'll add them to the list.
*NOTE* - If you wish to know what the best app is regarding your needs, ask in this thread and I, or others, will be able to help you out.
So, if you want to know what the best music player is, ask here and I'll suggest the best ones available.
If there are any apps that you feel shouldn't be in this list, please let me know and suggest a better one. I can then test it and maybe add it to the list, in place of the other one.
If you don't suggest a better app, I won't change anything.
Must Have Apps for the Note 10.1
Due to popular demand via PMs, I've decided to add a slot to this thread to display some of the best games we can get on our Android device.
As with the app list above, if there's a great game you'd like to be added to this list, let me know and I may well add it in
1. Pool Break Lite - If you like to play pool, snooker, billiards etc. on the go then this is a great app you. There are a few different variations to play in either single player or multiplayer online mode and even more variations if you buy the pro version.
2. FIFA 12 - This game speaks for itself. It's the latest mobile version of the FIFA franchise and is easily the best so far, with it showing vast improvements. There's a load of different cups and leagues to play through and with great graphics with no lag in the slightest.
3. World Series Of Poker - Probably the best game from EA (in my opinion). If you like to play poker I totally recommend this game. You can play Texas Holdem and Omaha in either cash games, tournaments or play for a WSOP bracelet as the main prize. Guest mode is now available for no login from Facebook is needed.
4. iAssociate2 - This is a good choice if you prefer a bit of a brain tester. iAssociate2 is a word association game you have to figure out which words and phrases are associated to each other. Sound easy? Give it a try and you can soon find out differently.
5. Need For Speed Most Wanted - Another brilliant addition to the EA family, Most Wanted finally brings one of the best racing experiences to Android. It's a brilliant game all round but the only thing it's lacking, in my opinion, is 'free roam' mode. But apart from that, it brings brilliant graphics and flawless gameplay.
6. Grand Theft Auto III - Grand Theft Auto III was a crime game which changed the future of gaming and is amazing to play on the go with our Androids. The full console game with great graphics, full features and surprisingly no lag considering it's such a huge game. Countless hours of gameplay, HD quality resolution and visually stunning graphics make this a must for our devices.
Must Have Apps for the Note 10.1
The idea to add widgets into this thread aswell was an idea taken from Goku80 and I hope you lot like it.
So, the list in this post is strictly for widgets. I'll add some widgets myself as a base, but as always feel free to suggest some of your favorite widgets and they may make it into this list.
1. Beautiful Widgets - Beautiful set of Widgets containing clock widget, clock and weather widget, weather widgets, date widgets and toggle widgets with skins/themes support!
2. Fancy Widgets - Personalize your Android home screen with highly customizable clock widgets, weather widgets, home (clock & weather) widgets, forecast widgets, and more with lots of customization options.
3. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) - If you enjoy customizing the look of your homescreen then this is pretty much a MUST HAVE app for you. It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like. However you want it, you can make it with UCCW.
4. Desktop VisualizeR - Here's another really useful widget if you love to customize your screens. This gives you the ability to make shortcuts and widgets with any image you specify, rather than just the default logos. You can also use this app to give apps a custom icon of your own, which is handy if your icon design doesn't currently exist.
5. Minimalistic Text - Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way. It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable throughout.
6. Eye In The Sky Weather - This is for all those who like their weather clean, simple and beautiful. The app includes 12 of the best weather icon sets and the ability to add your own icon sets.
+1 AirDroid. Airdroid is an absolutely fantastic app. No cables required.
Here are a few to take advantage of all the screen real estate:
Google currents
News360
Flipboard - only configured to operate in portrait mode.
S-pen
Sketchbook Pro - great for the artist in all of us.
Music Apps:
These music players also take advantage of the screen real estate. Both are paid apps.
Ubermusic
Zplayer - only configured to operate in portrait mode
Camera
Paper Camera - great effects and simple interface and operation.
Glimmr - Best flickr app available. Thanks to XDA member brK3

I don't actually have the Note. I just figured it would help you guys out a bit, so I can't actually know if some of these apps will work or not.
Can anyone else confirm that Bar Shortcut doesn't work? I can then remove it from the list
I'll also update the list soon, once I've had something to eat

Hey everyone,
I just released Refresh for XKCD, a Material Design XKCD browser.
Refresh for XKCD currently has the following features:
Material Design
Dedicated pages: Simply touch a comic in the main page to view a full page dedicated to the comic, filled with important information and actions
Shuffle: View random XKCD comics at the touch of a button
Explanations: Don't understand a comic? Each comic has an explanation, provided by explainxkcd.com, available on its own page.
Panning & Zooming: When inside of a comic's page, simply tap the comic image, and you can zoom in and pan the comic to view smaller text and content.
Favorites: See a comic you like? Add it to your favorites at the touch of a button, and the comic will be available at any time from the favorites page. (Swipe in from the left side of the screen on the main page to access the favorites page)
Sharing: Text your favorite comics to your friends, or post them to your favorite social networks.
Easy navigation: Refresh for XKCD offers easy navigation between comics
Here are some screenshots of the application, for those interested: http://imgur.com/a/HIQ1F
Refresh supports Android devices running versions 4.0+.
If you're interested in downloading the app, you can get it from Google Play here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jordandebarth.refresh
Thank you in advance to anyone who tries it out!
Bump. If anyone tries it out, let me know what you think!
Version 1.5.2 was pushed yesterday which fixes up a few bugs, and adds some much needed UI tweaks.
Bump, let me know if you try out the app!
Version 1.6 was pushed yesterday, and prompts users to download all comics on initial startup. This decreases load times, network usage, and enables search functions throughout the application.
Version 1.6.1 is now available, and allows Refresh to intercept links to xkcd.com, so that you can open XKCD comics by default in Refresh.
Thanks, was looking for a Material Design XKCD reader since ages
Works right as intended.
Regards.

Thanks a lot! Glad to hear you're liking it.

nice! Thank for this app! It is very usefull, i like it alot!
Drywall is a wallpaper management and Dashboard combo, an open source alternative to Google Wallpapers. The app consists of 3 pages. A wallpaper management page, a featured page and a wallpaper category page. The app is designed to be a utility for wallpaper management and a custom homebrew built dashboard for wallpapers. I was alittle bored of other open source dashboards because well, who keeps an app installed in their device that just holds wallpapers. Your gonna download the one you like and be on your way.
The Device Page shows your current wallpaper. From this page, you may adjust the offset, blur it, clear it, or set a custom image as a background. The Dashboard is also smart enough to count all of the items currently available to you so you as a user can compare the change and variation in content over time. The app has a default count but as you start to browse, the counts will increase or subtract and the dashboard will keep track of this.
The Featured Page just show cases a specific category to the user.
The collections tab works the same way. These wallpapers can also be downloaded for personal use. Drywall will also find any other wallpaper providers installed on your device for other uses.
These wallpapers are loaded via RSS rather than JSON. Reason i use RSS because i use the Title, Description, Author, and Image strings of which RSS usually provides so it works for me.
Majority of my collections will be forked from Unsplash.
Usage
You are more than welcomed to use the code for any other projects but just credit me where needed. EX: Custom Roms, fork into launcher projects, implement in wallpaper Dashboard project or repackage as your own. Link here for reference.
Contributing
I am very grateful for any help if anyone want todo a pull request.

Feedback on the concept is appreciated. Not doing this for fame, I'm doing this for a learning experience.
A new update is in the works for my Wallpaper Provider App, Drywall
Update should be releasing this week on Google Play and Xda Labs along with the source code of the revisions made.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sapphyx.gsd.com.drywall
New update is live on Google play. Il be adding it to xda labs and updating the code on github soon.
Latest update is now live. Available on xda labs and Google Play. Source code updated on github.
Il be working on an update for this soon and as with every update, a new collection of wallpapers will be added to the categories.
The goal of Drywall is to become the open source alternative to Google Wallpapers. To offer the same features, plus some.
Todo list for next update
-Add a category to list currently installed live wallpapers
-Revamp splash screen to material design
-Dependency updates and AndroidX conversion
-Maintenance to wallpaper customization
-Revamp preview activity
-Add crop support to custom wallpapers
Feel free to contribute to the project on github!
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi 5 using XDA Labs
Released an update yesterday.
This update migrated the application to AndroidX, updated dependencies and a slight revision to the user interface. Users have already noticed a huge difference in performance and wallpaper rendering.
I wanted to build a category for live wallpapers with my own interface but I haven't figured it out yet without tapping into mirroring.
