[TOOL] iAPK Suite v0.9 - Drag & Drop APK Installer

Alright, straight to it.
This is iAPK Suite 0.9. The newest incarnation of iAPK. It's functions have been vastly increased, while keeping it's sole purpose still unique.
The new version of iAPK merits it a new name, iAPK Suite. This means it not only installs APKs, it is a full fledged manager. It installs, deletes, backups, and restores APKs from your respective Android devices. Aside from being drag 'n' drop friendly, i've incorporated a tremendous amount of useful features. Hell, it even signs APKs with a simple click.
There are currently two versions. iAPK Suite and iAPK Mini. The Suite version allows full APK management, while the mini just has simple drag and drop as well as the docking panel without any other APK functions which makes the file size practically cut in half.
Mind you, the usage of this application gets a lot easier when you learn all of the shortcuts I implemented to making things a lot quicker. A wiki will be made to explore everything about iAPK and how to use every function i've built into it, even the not so obvious ones

This application works globally for ANY Android Device. Posting it in here is just because i'm in this sub-forum a lot. But this application will work with ANY Android device. It would be nice if this thread was pinned for easy access

Pretty cool. Heres another alternative i use. I just created a batch file where i made it pickup a file as an argument and "adb install -r" it. I compiled it to an exe and gave it an icon and set it as a default program for apk's. Here it is for those interested. You can either set it as default program for apk filetype, or just drag an apk into it.
Link

I like it. Simple and nice interface and easy to work with it

Thanks

Hey xda inhabitants!
Here's something I made to shorten APK installing. This is my take on an easy drag and drop apk installer with quick and to the point functions. It's very simple and straight forward, drag and drop your APK onto my program, and it will install it over ADB to your phone! Very simple as opposed to using the 0.04 second long browse button, Dragging and dropping saves a bunch of time!

Interesting. Does it support multiple/batch apk files? That would be useful for a restore.

wow..nice one
if can drag multiple apk files and batch install would be nice

Hmm..You guys are right.. it does not support multiple apks... It might since it's through adbs command, not sure if that would work. But I have a method of making multiple apks work at once. Lemme throw that on the table.
...Done.

Updated, and fixed v0.2 link.

pretty sweeet

sweet, love the idea of batch installs! Save a lot of time when switching between roms

Thanks! If anyone has anything else they want added. Let me know.

color me stupid but i cant get this to work...
may be that im on a pc at work.
there is nothing fancy needed to get it to work is there?
i am able to use the sdk tools and ADB can see my phone but the app keeps saying failed
any ideas would be great.

I did some quick debugging and I found out that I broke the single APK installer by adding the multiple batch one. Damn lol. Well for now, untill I release the completely working one, just drop two or more apks on it for them to properly work. That is an error on my part, must have forgot an if/then/else somewhere along the road, I'll fix it now. Should be compiled within an hour. Thanks

Terribly sorry for the confusion. I have fixed the weird problem. Everything now works as it should. Please re-download v0.2 from the original post.

This is a really Nice utility

I have a couple of requests. Feel free to make them come true
1. Make it so if set as a default app for apks, when i double click an apk it launches this program, installs the apk, then shuts the program.
2. Make it so it detects if adb is currently in $path, u can do that using something like errorlevels in batch. So if it detects it, then it shouldnt have to extract the files such as adb and the dlls.
Just my $0.02

Great!! thanks!

This.. is not the easiest thing to do, since I would now need to make my app utilize commandlines in win shells to allow me to add apk file locations to a command to be installed quickly. It's definitely possible, but unfortunately i can't complete it within an hour so, that'll take a bit longer.

This is definitely an easy task, never thought of that, consider it done as I have the exact code in my head
I'll compile everything when I get homerz.
$0.2 is actually 20 cents... wow. You put a lot thought into this one. lol
Anyway, keep in mind, I can do..just about ANYTHING with this app. So don't hold back with your suggestions.

Anything? Lol (I won't go there!) What is the advantage to this verses using su file manager to just copy and paste within the phone? I guess I should just try it out, but didn't want to waste my time cause I have no problems with adb commands, but some of my friends might like it! Thanks!

[APP] Mount Manager - Device Mounts Manager [01/17/11]

}
Available on the Android Market
If you have any issues, please post them here so I can work on getting them fixed.

Change log
v1.0.29
Fixed the readonly issue for cifs
v.1.0.13
Fixed issue of the newly added mount not showing until you refresh.
The internal log will clear if it reaches a maximum number of log entries to stop it from just growing for ever.
fixed issue where it was requesting su access even when it did not need it.
minor bug fixes
fixes related to accepting the license key to remove ads
v.1.0.10
/mnt/cifs/ set back as the default. I guess some people cannot browse /data/ to select the path
I added a check for adblocker, you will have to buy the license to use this app if you have that app since the license is not yet available, you cannot yet use this app. Don't complain to me about it either. This app
is supported by the ads, if you block them, then its not supported now is it...
added a check to setup the default mount point so the app should have access to it. This is hard for me to
fully test because I already have access to it. So consider this an initial implementation of this until I can
get some feedback on it.
modules are now set to load when you add them.
v1.0.9
improved wifi state actions to check if connected/disconnected from wifi
Changed the default mount point base from /mnt/cifs/ to /data/mnt/. This should help with some people having issues
creating the mount folder.
fixed issue that passwords, usernames and shares could have issues mounting if they have spaces in them.
improved the loading time of the main screen
fixed bug with changing the mount path
root is now only requested when needed.
v1.0.8
Added more info about the device to the log collector info
Improved the initialization and checking of the mounts
v1.0.7
Added better logging for help with identifying issues
Logging can now be viewed in preferences
LogCat can be emailed using "Log Collector"
Password field, when creating share is now a password field
better checking for existing mounts
v1.0.6
Better checking if the mount point is already mounted
broadcast that the mount status has changed. - com.twimager.cifsmanager.intent.action.MOUNT_STATE_CHANGED
Option to automatically load existing cifs
v1.0.5
Fixed issue that would cause the modules not to load
Added the change log view
Added FAQ page for common questions
Added the option to unmount when disconnected from wifi
Should now support rooted devices that don't have busybox

First!
Great, someone finally made that app!
I was thinking of making it myself and playing with commands.
Will test in a minute.

Tried it - looks really cool, but can't seem to get it to connect to my SeaGate NAS. IP, Share and credentials are correct - I can map from WIN box, just not galaxy tab using this app.

Try the latest version, there was a bug that could cause the cifs modules not to load when they needed to be loaded.
I will be adding a "log" so information on what is happening in the background can be viewed. This way if there is an issue, the log could help track it down.

Looking forward to those logs to help troubleshoot connectivity.
In the meantime, I'm using Mount Manager just to load the two modules at boot, then CifsManager to mount my Win 7 shares. Although I'd prefer to use Mount Manager alone, this totally works! Combined with Rock Player, gives me exceptional streaming of nearly every video format I've tried (including seek). This works much, much better than any Allshare / DLNA combination I've found. Many thanks for this tool. My home entertainment system will never be the same!

Hmmm, mine won't mount. Mounts just fine with Gscript or terminal... same module, path, mount point and all.
Any ideas?

Is it possible with this application map the phone as network drive? So I can access files in phone via PC over wifi? THX

At the bottom in preferences is LogCat. and in there you press menu and you can send the logcat... it does use "log collector" to send the log.

how do i know if my "AXURA [2.2.5.9] released jan 5th 2011" ROM for the Samsung Vibrant has the CIFS enabled??
from what i see I should be able to just load the modules and have it enabled??
in that case, can you please point to where i can find these two files??
thank you

This thread over in the vibrant dev forum has the files you need.

Made some big improvements in the speed of checking the mounts at start up. also a big change was that I set the default mount point to be in /data/mnt/ instead of /mnt/cifs/. a lot of people were having issues with /mnt/ being readonly. But if you have installed previously, it will not change your default. if you have issues mounting, try changing the default mount point in the settings.

Posted an update to mount manager. Much improved speed for checking the mounts. improved the method to use the default mount point (changed back to /mnt/cifs/ too). Added a check for adblocker, if you use it, the app will not function unless you purchase the license. The app is supported by ads, and adblocker removes the ads, thus removing the possible support that can be earned by them.

Hi camalot, good fixes with app. And now i got some progress. Now i see error mesage when try mount. Its "mount: mounting //178.xxx.xxx.xxx/htc on /mnt/dscard/share/ failed: invaled argument" I try make "/mnt/sdcard/share/" (with / at end) but dosnt work. What i must do.

Ive seen invalid argument when the modules are not loaded. but I also get that on one of my shares on my router. i have 3 shares on my router, i can mount 2 of them just fine, but the 3rd always fails with invalid argument. even if i manually mount it.
Check the preferences and look at "Force Load Modules" the summary should tell you if the cifs modules are loaded.

This apps is working with Motorola Droid ?

[App] SyncIt Public Beta

*** THIS IS A BETA PROGRAM ***
(Though it is fully function)
SyncIt is a basically a Dropbox extention, it uses the Dropbox API and your Dropbox Account to keep any specified file updated in you Dropbox as well as on any other Android devices with SyncIt installed.
What this means is say you have to have a certain game always up to date on all of your android devices? Well simply select it in SyncIt and have it installed on both devices and SyncIt will monitor that file and keep it up to date on both devices.
*** How To Use ***
Device 1 - Simply use the built in file explorer to select any file or folder(Pro) you wish to sync. They will automatically be uploaded as the files are updated. If you wish to add another device first go and long-press the given file/folder and click "Backup" for all of our files/folders listed.
Device 2-Ect - Simply login to, the files will be downloaded. Then go long press each file/folder and click "Restore". Once done for each file/folder you are ready to go. This is a one time process.

This is a great idea, thanks! I'm gonna try this on my Atrix/Cap. Does anybody know what directory most games save their progress files to.? Lately I have been playing PvZ, Peggle & Cut the Rope.

This app supports both regular file system and root file system. For plants vs zombies it is /data/data/com.popcap.pvz/ but I personally have not gotten pvz to work. But I used the hd version n regular version. If u have the sane version it should work. In the pvz dir ure gonna wanna sync /files/userdata/user.dat n user1.dat(there will b more if u have more users)

I like the idea of this app, but can't completely test it out because my tablet is at home at the moment. I have some questions. I have tested sharing a file, but it hasn't been uploaded to dropbox. I just have the SyncIt folder and the xml file in my dropbox. Do I have to have it installed on another device before it will upload? Any ideas what files I need to sync Angry Birds Rio and Cut the Rope? I was thinking about just syncing titanium backup files, but the actual data files would be more convenient.

No it should upload with just one device, but the version up right now is quite outdated now. I will upload a new version hopefully tomorrow. With this release there will b a paid ($1) n free version. Both versions are fully functional with the free version being linked to syncing 5 files. The full is unlimited with the additional feature if syncing while folders (dynamically).
As for angry birds this app works great for it (i use it for this my self lol) u would want to sync.
/data/data/com.rivio.*.files/.flurryagent.*
/data/data/com.rivio.*.files/highscore.lua
/data/data/com.rivio.*.files/settings.lua
Syncing these work, idk if they are all required tho.

I would be happy to pay for an app that does this. I am actually surprised it hasn't got more attention. I imagine google eventually adding a native solution much like how apple has icloud to backup/sync application data. Anyway, I still haven't been able to get it to upload anything. The xml file in dropbox lists the file name I tested, but that file isn't in the SyncIt folder in my dropbox. I then deleted the first file I chose to sync in the app, and then chose the 3 files you mentioned for Angry Birds. However, the xml file has not been updated to reflect the new files, and nothing has been uploaded to dropbox. I'm running a version of CM7.1 (Android 2.3.4) on my Evo. I suppose I can just wait for the updated version. I do have some suggestions for future versions of the app. Using a file explorer to share with the app only lets you choose one file at a time (unless there is some other file explorer program that will let you). If you allowed file choosing within the app, you could probably allow for folders and multiple files. Also, what would be really cool is if you could just choose from a list of apps the data you would like to sync. I assume this is possible since Titanium Backup lets you backup and restore app data associated with an app. Also, a few more control settings would be nice like only sync while connected to wifi and/or while plugged in.
EDIT: also, every time I turn my screen on a get a Loading Finished bubble a few seconds later.

Yes SyncIt runs every time u turn your phone on or off(thats when it checks if there is anything new). While this sounds like a bad idea(battery wise) the way ive implemented it it uses very little. I will most likely remove the "Loading Finished" toast.
As i said in my prior post(but did not elaborate on, or maybe i didnt say it. im to lazy to look xD). The new version will support adding files from external file explorers as well it will have a internal file browser that supports root. With it you will be able to select files(not multiple tho, maybe in an update) and folders. When selecting a folder it will sync all files in all sub folders up to a certain cumulative size(dont wanna kill dropbox lol).
IDK why my ur version wouldn't work, tho to clear it out completely u would need to delete the syncit folder in dropbox online then clear the cache of SyncIt. Otherwise it will just download the version from dropbox. New version will have an option to clear all.

Will this work with every game bc I have to admit their are quite a few games that I hate having to start over again just bc I got another android device to play it on.

Honestly its trial & error. I have tried with two games Plants vs Zombies and Angry Birds, PvZ did not work(very sad about this) but Angry Birds did. These are the only two games ive tried.

Well, I eventually tried this on my asus transformer and got it to upload to Dropbox. It did start syncing to my phone and all my progress from angry birds on my tablet synced over to my phone. However, when I completed a level on my phone, that would not sync back to the tablet. I did get my phone to upload to Dropbox, though, after reinstalling the program. However, when I turn my tablet on, my tablet won't download the from Dropbox. When I open angry birds back up, none of the progress from the the phone is there. Then, I go to my phone and my old progress from the the tablet is synced back to the phone and I have to complete the level again. I will keep testing to see if I can get it to work correctly. There are definitely some bugs. Sometimes I get a force close on my phone. Also there is a big delay in asking for root permissions. I completely uninstalled/reinsalled it from my phone yesterday and it wasn't till today that it asked for root permissions.

will this remain free after the beta period ?

great idea. i've been thinking about this for a while. how about making it with an extensible architecture so that people can register plugins for certain games such as 'PvZ' or 'Angry Birds' with options such as HD, non-HD (tablet/phone) free/paid, etc... and with multiple (relative?) paths pointing to the directories with files that need to be sync'ed. this way, people won't have to manually add directories. this would probably drive more user adoption.
i used to do this on my ubuntu laptops to sync firefox pref's and such. it's great that you actually implemented it. thanks!

I thought i had discussed tho i guess not. After beta there will be a Paid and Free version. As of right now free version will be limited to selecting specific files and a total of 5(maybe more) to sync. The paid version will be able to sync whole folders(as long as the total size of its sub files are under a set limit, dont wanna kill ur phone/battery/dropbox lol) and an unlimited # of files.
As to the user below "Plugins" would be easy to do, hard part would be distributing them.

Look above , tho what do you mean such as "HD, non-HD) ect?
Also update on SyncIt it is damn near done, i should have finished the RC already actually. All functionality is done(minus plugin architectural mentioned above), i simply need to restructure it so that all the functions run in the background. Which in the scope of everything is fairly easy.
EDIT: Also i have no intention of charging more then $1 for this .

Ha, ya near me too it. I'd been thinking of this as a backup app for a while. Now that I have a tablet I started playing with the dropbox api to write it. Looking forward to testing it.
Can this handle file system files (ie use root)? Does it sync the ownership/permissions correctly?

Perfect timing for me - looking into a tablet and was wondering how to sync things. When this works (still in beta, so bound to be bugs), this will cover anything file based!
My initial thought that I was wondering how I would deal with - how to synch my location in eBooks. Now just need to see where that info is stored in iReader & Cool Reader & Kindle (for non-kindle books).
--
Edit: With only 1 device (for testing) is there a way to tell the phone - "Go look for new versions of the files in dropbox now!" So when/if I manually change something via my pc, it will copy to the right place on my phone?

Thanks
This app is a great idea! A little buggy on the stock evo4g running 2.2
Tends to force close periodically after locking up. Have had to uninstall/reinstall three times.
Are you anywhere near an update?

Back in the PalmOS era, I used iSilo for reading websites offline and it worked great. Nowadays I still want to read sites offline as there's no cell signal in the subway. I searched and tried a lot of "Offline Browser" apps from Play Store but they are mostly badly designed (ugly UI), they are intended for single pages and suck the most when it comes to reading - they do not restore reading position.
Offliner is an attempt to fix that. It focuses solely on reading/viewing as it doesn't have any download mechanism. Even the site resources fetching functionality of tools like wget and httrack is often problematic. Instead it relies on prepared archives in a simple format - zip archive of a site fetched using wget. (Offliner reads files directly from the zip without unpacking it to your precious storage.)
I focused on Android Developer Docs and included few hacks for compatibility with the official zip archive provided by Google (docs-24_r01.zip, 400 MB). Unfortunately the content is currently almost one year old and it lacks various sections. Most importantly material.io. I fired up wget and created up-to-date archive containing both developer.android.com and material.io, having 1200 MB. Find the latest links here: brouken.com/offliner
The app is completely free, without any ads or extra permissions. Offliner lacks Internet permission so it can't access the internet at all . I hope it will work great for you just as it works for me. Find few more details in the site linked below (known limitations, script for self made archives etc.).
Let me know about all your thoughts, complaints, wishes, reports, bugs... and make Offliner even better.

Can you provide me with more details like what device is that and when this occurs? What data are you trying to load?
So far I used/tested archives created by zip on linux. I use Google's library for reading zips which doesn't support ZIP64 (see wiki) so supporting that is not trivial. Are you using any existing archive or are you creating your own (what size/number of files and archive manager are you using)?

Please use "Deflate" instead of LZMA. LZMA is part of the newer ZIP standard (from 2006) that is not supported by the default Java utils.
I guess this would be another good reason to switch to Apache Commons Compress. I will add that to my list. However the priority is performance of the non ZIP64 archives with the deflate method so if it won't use more memory or be slower, I can switch to that.

Packing time should be irrelevant as it's done usually on much faster machine only once. Much important is the overhead on mobile device during decompression or decompression speed (BTW deflate unpacks 4 times faster than LZMA which can make a difference).

Clicking search results works in the up to date custom mirror available from my site (the 1.2 GB archive; it's that large because it also contains material.io). I can confirm that this doesn't work with the latest (1 year old) docs from Google. I already included couple of quirks to work around issues with missing or bad JS files. Seems like this is another case. I will try if I can make it work but I would recommend you to use either the provided up to date archive or to create your own (with the help of provided script).
Anyway thank you for all your feedback, it's much appreciated!
EDIT: I don't think I will be able to fix that easily. Seems like that the search depends on additional dynamic response so it won't work offline. The current version of their site doesn't require that so it could work if they ever update the docs again.

I see what I can do when I will be updating the mirror. Right now I'm waiting if Google releases new offline docs so I can handle all the changes at once.

Could you add it? Or is it already included into bash scripting packs? I guess, no...

I found an issue. When opening new zip. I see nothing when loading wheel is gone. I don't know why, but page is showing only if I switch to recents window and come back (onPause & onResume).

Here is full dump of ss64.com & unix part of computerhope.com. Both have catalogs of bash commands. Computer Hope is better.

Are you sure that it's not just the loading taking a while? BTW during onPause/onResume it should only pause/resume Webview and it's timers (JS). I didn't enabled any logging in the release on Play Store but isn't there anything interesting in the logcat?
What Android device do you have anyway?

Yep, that's something I would like to have eventually. One thing is all archives in the navigation drawer and another allowing navigation among them (depend on the archive file name or keep indexes of archive entries... ?). I don't have it figured out much but I guess allowing faster switching between zip archives could be a start.

No. I tested many times. When I have already loaded zip. Press Setup and select other zip. Loading wheel is gone... Nothing. Wait 1 minute. Nothing. As soon as I switch to recents and back all is showing.

[APP] Rename and Organize with EXIF

}
What Picture Manager can do for you:
Renaming:
Rename your pictures with different timestamp formats and other EXIF metadata like camera model, manufacturer and many more.
This is useful since some manufactures like HTC and Sony (probably some more) save pictures taken with an incremented number in the filename, instead with a timestamp like other manufactures do.
When you factory reset your device, buy a new device or clean flash a custom rom, the camera picture counter gets reset and starts with e.g. IMAG_00001 again.
This can be an issue once you backup your files to a harddrive on your PC, because you will have duplicate filenames, although the pictures are actually different
Organizing:
Bring more organization into your picture collection by sorting your pictures into dated folders or even named by the location you've taken your pictures.
E.g. If you been on vacation and made a roundtrip, you don't need to remember the city anymore you've taken the pictures. Picture Manager will do that job for you by sorting the pictures
into folders named by the location the pictures were taken.
The organizer also offers a feature to move your images to your external sdcard or even USB Storage.
In the premium version that can be done even automatically.
A useful use case is also to move Videos to another location to prevent Google or Amazon Photos to sync them to the cloud.
Clean up your images collection
Picture Manager offers a duplicate image finder to get rid of duplicate images and restore some space on your phone memory
Also there is an option to find similar images based on PHash and AverageHash.
EXIF Editor
Edit exif metadata directly in Picture Manager, either single images or in batch mode.
Use conditions to only edit EXIF attributes matching them.
Add location data from GPX
Your digital camera does no have a gps module? If you recoard a gpx file while taking photos you
can inject the location gps data from the gpx to your images.
Requirements
You have to be on at least Android 5.0 Lollipop
How does it work
Picture Manager relies on the EXIF Metadata that is stored into each picture. The EXIF Metadata contains a lot of information, the one Picture Manager needs is the date the picture was taken.
With that information Picture Manager can reliably rename and organize your pictures.
Tasker Plugin
Picture Manager comes with a Tasker Action Plugin. That means that you can start a batch process on different events, like time, when usb gets connected etc.
Premium features
If you want to use the custom format, background service or the Tasker plugin you need to upgrade to the premium version.
To upgrade you can use an in app purchase. Or you paypal me and I mail you a premium code. That way google doesn't get 30% of the income.

Downloads
Picture Manager is available in the playstore:
FAQ
Q: What about videos?
A: Picture Manager can also handle mp4 recorded videos.
Q: What about other manufactures than HTC and Sony?
A: I just know about those two that use an incremented number in their filename. If you know more, let me know. If your files are already timestamped you can still use the organizer to move your files into timestamped folders.
Q: After using the organizer I have sometimes missing files in my gallery?
A: Use the media scanner built in Picture Manager to make those files visible.
Q: Will the background service drain a lot of battery?
A: Picture Manager makes use of Androids JobSheduler, like Google Photos and Amazon Photos instant upload and is very battery friendly. When checking GSAM stats, it is nearly at the very bottom of the list.

Version 1.1.0 available
Additions and updates:
Timestamper format is shown more user friendly now
Added an info button to the custom format field with some examples.
Added "Month as number" switch to organizer tab. Default now, since that way your folders are properly ordered
Fixes:
Fixed Picture Manager not working on external sdcards
Fixed force close caused by JobShedulder getting triggered by batch organizer
Tasker plugin shouldn't need reboot anymore after unlocking premium

Can you maybe consider add a leading zero to the "month as a number" option - as it stands when we get to say Oct it'll appear before May in the list in most file explorers (1 in the 10 for Oct will be before the 5 for May) :good:

Hehe yeah, that's what i tought and that's why i didn't give a 3 start rating but came to this thread.
Sorry if it sounded a bit rude. I just got surprised by the omnipresent buy premium options. Not like i have anything against the FreeBasic/Premium model, and i do think the 1.99$ is a fair price, but if the basic function is too limited from what you expect that leaves a bad aftertast.
BTT. While i completly undestand the usage of DD-MMM-YYYY on paper work it's not usefull in the computer age anymore. Even in a hierarchical folder structure where you have Year/Month/Day most companies use 01 January 02 February 03 March ... for chronological sorting. Simply because having April, August, December .... would be a PITA. And thats why the World Wide Web Consortium recommends the use of ISO8601.
That's why i recommend the addition of this format to the Basic choices

Enough of ungrateful guys out there giving bad ratings, and don't even bother you change it, even if you fix the issue.
Lot's of people really don't know how much work goes in such an app...that seems to do just a few little things.
I spent a few months on it to get it to that state.
...and yeah, felt a bit attacked, when you blamed me to remove that standard format on purpose.
Sure I'm happy for every €, especially because the active app installation are below my expecations with below 400..altough it is a unique app in the playstore.
Don't know any other app offering such features..especially with external sd card support.
Check the attachment buddy, it is a prerelease version though, so report bugs if you find some.

It's only been a few weeks since release... it takes some time to get famous. I only installed the app because a friend recommended it when i was ranting about multiple fotos with the same name in different folders.
P.S You sure you uploaded the right apk? Version number isn't changed an the only difference i spotted was a "rate me on the playstore" that pops up every time you start the app.

Didnt change the version number, since it is a prerelease.
I didnt added a new format, but edited an existing one.
There should be also now a button to delete logs.
Premium option now offers to select multiple folders for scanning.
..just installed it, definitely the correct one.
The rate me dialog pops up after 2-3 days passed after the initial installation of the app.
That was already present on the initial release of the app.

Indeed weird^^
But it works as intended now.

Now then.... just updated to 1.5.0 via market. Time for Feedback.
The [Start] Button is cut off. (see attached Screenshot) Not sure if it's due to german localization, or 18:9 aspect ratio. But that's not how it's supposed to be right? the plan was for the button to be clearly visible.
The Banner is quite big.... imho too big... especially because it's fixed and not scrolling. But that's just my opinion.
The Mediascanner button does provide feedback when pressed, but only by slightly chaning color, this could be improved by a Popup saying "Rescanning media has started" or something like that. (a Toast message might be cool, notification seems a bit overkill?)
The Icon is really beautiful! But it's grey... and the app is mostly red. It's hard to find the App in the drawer because i'm always looking for something red subconsciously.
If you're now wondering why i only point out negative points? Duh. People will find out how great this app is by using it themselves . In no way i think of my opinion as important or right, it's just these thingies that cought my eye while using the app.
