The idea for a “personalized Love Calculator” I got from one of these TV commercials for expensive Love Calculator apps. Why not to make an own Love Calc, which basically works exactly as useless as a “normal” Love Calculator , but with the small but important “fix” that it returns 100% when two special names are entered. That would be a nice gift idea for your significant other for christmas .
Who directly wants to jump to the files, just scroll to the end of this post. There is a ZIP file containing a ready-to-compile B4A project, made for a 720×1280 resolution.
Since I am not a Java coder, I was not in the mood to set up the SDK, IDE, paths and so on for a one time programming in Java. So I searched for a alternative for creating Android apps with as less setting up work as possible. I found B4A: Basic for Android. This is a development environment in which you can develop native Android apps in a Basic-like language. It also has a graphical GUI editor. One big advantage is is that no setting up of paths etc. is needed, since B4A offers the oppertunity of “Remote Compilation”, where the program is uploaded to a server where it is compiled. So you just need to install the 30 days trial version and you’re good to create an app (the Java JDK only needs to be installed). The only downside of this program is, that for a few seconds after opening the app, a message box is shown that the app was created with the trial version.
So here now a short guide, how to make your own, personalized Love Calculator:
Installation of the software:
1) Download and install the JDK (here)
2) Download and install the Basic 4 Android Trial (here).
3) Get the B4A Bridge App from the Play Store (here). This app is needed to test the compiled APK later.
When the softwares are installed, you can directly begin with the app itself .
Adjusting the app:
When you start the IDE from B4A the first time, you land in screen like this:
Via Source->Open Source you can load the project from the Love Calculator (at the end of this post). Then the source code should be loaded.
Now you can insert the “special” names : Just replace the value of the variable name1 and name2. If for example the names Dog and Cat should produce a 100% result, the following lines have to be changed like the following:
Code:
‘HIER DIE NAMEN ERSETZEN!!!
name1=”Cat”
name2=”Dog”
Te first line is simply a comment and means “Change the names here!”. This is the only part in the whole code which need to be changed. In the actual program it does not matter, which name is on which position or if written with capitals or not.
I adjusted the GUI to a display resolution of 720×1280. If you need an other resolution, you have to to this in the “Designer”.
Via “New Variant” you can create a new resolution. In the “Abstract Designer” you can scale and adjust the position of the UI elements. I won’t go here too much into details, if you have any questions, just write .
Save the project and choose “Release” from the dropdown list right beside the blue arrow. Then start the B4A Bridge App on your mobile. Click on “Start Bluetooth”. Then go to Tools – B4A Bridge – Connect (Bluetooth) in the IDE. First click Find devices and then your phone. Then you should be connected with your phone. Now you just need to hit the blue arrow and you’re done! The app should be installed several seconds later.
The compiled .apk should be placed in the project folder under /Objects . Surely this App won’t win an innovation or design award, but thanks to the little “Fix”, which gives a specific name combination always 100%, it is a nice little gimmick, especially for christmas time .
The ZIP-file of the project you can find on this site.

A Home Screen replacement that can be easily activated/deactivated so you can switch your mobile/tablet to a child mode.
Features:
You can turn your tablet/mobile in a family device by just enabling the app. It behaves as a launcher so it blocks most of the access to unwanted features (it even blocks the taskbar without being root, only in Android 4.0, 4.1 has disabled this).
Dads can filter which apps are available for their kids, so they can avoid them to access to unwanted apps.
It recommends new apps for installing (from third party at the Google Play Store), reviewed by the Cience Education Institue of the University of Girona (Spain).
The desktop, called MILAN Playground is an interactive environment, with a lot of elements that react and move by touching them, so the desktop itself is like a game.
Parents can protect the configuration with a password.
New scenarios/desktops coming in future updates.
Now the story behind this (you can skip it, is not that interesting but I wanted to share it):
Not so long ago, I decided I wanted to develop games and interactive apps for different platforms. I got really lucky, and a company hired me as a freelancer to develop a software they were planning to include in a tablet for launching next August. This was at the end of the last year.
I suggested them an interactive desktop for kids (the tablet was family oriented), with a lot if interactive elements so the desktop could be like a game itself. They liked the idea and I started to work on it part time, combining it with my full time job and family.
Some weeks ago, I got fired from my job, and instead of feeling miserable (well I feel like it a little bit, but not too much: being fired never is easy) I realized how lucky I am now for being able to work full time in something I like and, hopefully, will pay the bills (for now).
So here it is, an interactive desktop for Android, that can be easily switched by changing the default desktop (just press "exit" and it will ask for your default launcher). I'm really excited as it is my first big app designed and made by myself. It maybe has some rough edges, so here's where I need your help, I need your feedback.
The company that hired me is called MILAN (like the Italian city), so the app is called MILAN Playground.
PS: They are considering to add some specific features available through an unlocker. I'll update the post when I have news about this.
"Pomni" IS NOT CALENDAR OR REMINDER, our application has no reference to time. This is LISTS OF TASKS TO REMEMBER, and does not matter - daily, weekly, yearly or non-periodic. We propose you a new approach to solving regular problems, it is a distinctive feature of the app! Core principle of the work is the speed, which is achieved through the least amount of actions when dealing with a list of cases. As a rule tasks consist of a pair of verb-noun, or even a single word. Thus there is the most popular words that have to be used several times a day or a week, and it would be logical not to write them every time, but choose from a short list in one-touch. With this program, the most popular activities, such as "call the customer" or "charge the phone and the laptop" can be made out FOR ABOUT FIVE SECONDS, in three (four - in the second case) touch. Extrauseful feature is to create new lists based on existing ones. For example when you go on vacation, you can create a to-do list for today on the basis of pre-filled lists of "Holiday", "Car" and "Products" by selecting (or excluding) the only necessary positions in these lists. The more you work with the application, the more it saves your time, because arsenal of lists, templates, and popular words grows after each trip, project, list of tasks etc. Therefore, ONCE CREATED TASK OR LIST WILL NEVER NEED TO BE CREATED AGAIN. You can easily operate with them, and, if necessary, modify.

Thank you for the comment!
About font, in the screenshots set default system font. On your device, it will be simpler. Now we are working to improve our app and the next abilities are in our plans for future:
v1.2
- search through records of all lists
- saving templates of search (filters)
- notes and tags for records
- custom UI (layout and order of components in screens and screens themselves)
v1.3.
- nested lists, folders
- sending by SMS\MMS\e-mail
v2.0
- new design
v3.0
- using accounts, for enter for different devices
- sending lists to other account
- loading useful standard template lists from server
- backups for important lists
v4.0
- one more way to make work faster, our competitive advantage

Invertase
Invertase is a hex inverting app for developers, programmers, themers and Android enthusiasts who want to invert the normal hex codes to inverted ones used in some of the smali files in Android Apps.
Scope
Though the scope of this app is very small, confining to very small occurrences of inverted codes in fewer Android smali files, it may prove handy to people who are more into exploring part of Android. Trying different color codes for getting a perfect color combination can be very time consuming, specially when you have to invert them with a pattern. Though working and principle of this app is very simple, it further simplifies the rather simple process of inverting.
Use
Use of this app is very simple:
You are provided with a text box where you can write the hex code you want to invert.
For example,
You want to invert the hex color #ff33b5e5, write ff33b5e5 (Values without alpha are also supported, for example : 33b5e5) in the text box and click the tick button on the right side of the box.
(Note: Text box is only for hex codes, any other text in the box won't work).
A panel will appear with your entered Old Code and inverted New Code.
As per this example, new code will be #cc4a1a. A color preview is also provided for a better look on what you're dealing with.
Note that the color will not change but only the code will, the color will remain blue but the new code will be required in some Android files such as Clock.smali in SystemUI.apk, BatteryHistoryChart.smali and LinearColorBar.smali in Settings.apk.
Though the new code will produce the same color effect as normal hex codes in Android files, it will refer to a different color in normal hex files, as if refers to a different color in normal hex system.
In similar way, you can invert the Android inverted codes to normal hex codes, but the color shown in this case would not be the real hex color, to see what the inverted Android hex is referring to, click on the New Code panel and your new code will be treated as normal hex and it's true color will be shown with the New Code again being the Android one.
You can long press on New Code or Old Code to copy it to the Clipboard.
To know more about how to use these new codes you got, see this guide on how to change the color of your Battery Statistics Graph:

Black Box is a biased decision maker. You just have to tell it the choices you have, and give each choice a score. Based on the choices and the weighing, it will pick a random choice for you.
It is called “Black Box” because it comes with an invisible hand. Apart from the choices, you can also create rules to manipulate the random draw, and that’s why it is a biased decision maker. It never makes a fair draw.
Features:
Create multiple Black Boxes for different kinds of decision
Allocate weighing for each choice, and the weighing will affect the chance of the choice being picked
Create rules to manipulate the random draw, by setting the result directly, or changing the weighing of a particular choice
Provide statistics showing how many times each choice is picked (only valid for each application session)
Types of rules available:
Autocracy (The rule will always be valid)
Weekday (The rule will be active on specific weekday)
Day of Month (The rule will be active based on the current day in the month)

When working in office, it's difficult to decide where to have lunch, especially in urban like Hong Kong where huge amount of restaurants are densely packed in a small district. So during my last job I had an Excel macro to randomly pick a restaurant from a weighed list. And since I left that job and I wasn't able to bring that Excel file away from the company, so I wrote this app for the same purpose. And this is my first app and therefore it does not have many features in this initial release, but the idea is here - make a choice with your own manipulation.
The Chinese name of this app literally means the same as "Black Box Operations", pretty much describing what is happening in Hong Kong.
