Train Departures..
Nice one sproxy, good find. Very handy...

Thanks,
Let me know if you have any issues.

Hi i get cant connect to server will this be the national rail end down?

Pretty sure the web site is up
Was you Internet connection ok at that moment? Could you access the site in the browser for instance?
It downloads directly from their web site so there are no other servers involved.

Very handy, thanks!

Connect to Server..
@hardm2000
It seems not to connect to the server if you select a minor station along the route between two major stations..

Hi,
Could you give an example so I can see if it is possible to fix?
I have performed the following test:
Selected Huddersfield as origin and Dewsbury as destination.
Looked up the journey and the application has downloaded Manchester Airport to Middlesbrough service and displayed the information correctly.
If you could give me an example, I will give a try.

Network Rail..
OK. There is a service that goes from London Liverpool Street to Norwich stopping at stations along the way. One of these is Diss. If you select Diss to Liverpool Street it will not connect to the Server..

Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I have fixed it and will be uploading the new version soon.

waiting for the update version with fix...also was having issue with server not connecting.
also its a brilliant little app...

Hi there,
When did you download it? I have uploaded the fixed version yesterday evening and it seems to have fixed the issue for me.
Let me know if you tried the latest and still have an issue.

Connect device to computer. Press 'Explore in Activesync window. Then go to the folder where you've unzipped the files. Right click on the UK Train times.exe & select 'Copy'. Then go to Windows/StartMenu/Programs folder, right click 'Paste Shortcut' & you now have a shortcut to the app in Windows Start Menu. This will allow you to add the app to your Quicklinks in Sense. Cheers!
By the way sproxy, many thanks for this useful little app.

You are welcome and thank for helping out.
I have also added a cab file (same version) and updated the original post. I still think zip file is the easier way but at least now there is an option.

Thanks for this brilliant little app sproxy, it works perfectly.
As you said in the instructions, it currently only works on direct journeys. Have you any idea, if and when this will change ? It would be great if you could put in your final destination and it will tell you where to change and the train times from there aswell.
Also, arrival times would be handy.
Thanks again for your work on this.

[APP][3.0+] NOTEify - Color Sticky Notes And MUCH More During Live Calls!

UPDATE 05.06.2014
-Fixed German Language item names
-Side Bar now change color according to application theme (dark/light)
-fixed note saving bug inside contact
-Fixed group deleting and not disappearing immediately bug
-Fixed group renaming
-Added an option to show the contact you were talking to, right after the conversation with him
-Fixed list jumping back to top when selecting multiple contacts.
I AM LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO TRANSLATE NOTEIFY INTO MORE LANGUAGES SO USERS CAN GET THE APP IN THEIR OWN NATIVE LANGUAGE .
NOTEify Reviewd by XDA Developers:
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...t-and-view-rich-contact-notes-while-in-calls/
There are quite a few techniques and tools available to help you better remember important details about your work contacts. For example, you could manually keep a journal of key information or store these facts on their business cards in your Rolodex—that is if anyone even remembers what a Rolodex is. But of course, manually writing things down is a bit too last century for most of us here on XDA.

A simple reminder for your contacts
Welcome to NOTEify, a helpful application that will be useful for creating a clear schedule and be reminded of all the tasks you need to do in order to live your life in a more organized way.
Sync your contacts, create color notes and have them show during calls, so you always know what you want to say to them. You can drag around the notes to hide them or have them present, whatever feels more comfortable. In addition, feel free to send the note to other contacts if you find it useful.
The design of NOTEify is great, everything is minimalist and clear and NOTEify becomes a helpful and simple tool for professionals and also people who merely want to organize themselves better.

-Notes can be minimized or be dragged along the screen during call for maximal convenience.
-Notes saved within the app or during a phone call will also be saved to the other contacts app on your device.
-Many in-call or in-app specific note options, including navigate to an address written in the note, send the note displayed to other contacts, create reminders of a specific conversation and much more…
-This app is equipped with its own designed widget for maximal convenience to activate or block notes from being showed during a phone call.
-Many more options and possibilities can be found inside the in-app options for your own convenience…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxdeMi7oAwo

Added New Poll
Hey Guys,
Many thread view, many downloads and not so many comments..
So I decided to add a new poll with a usefulness question about NOTEify.
Thank you for your time :good:

I tried it but it was taking to long to sync so I stopped it.

Hi, thank you for trying it out.
The sync is only one time proccess. It needs to take you entire contacts list and ALL of their data (everything including addresses, emails, more than one phone number, images and other details..)
*it is a Contacts App so it needs the data so you can use it in NOTEify with ease.
After your are doing it ONLY one time, the app is listening to you contacts apps and adds contacts that where added in other contact apps automatically..
Im happy you tried it, and hope you might give it another shot sometime.. I promise it worths it

New version
Hey guys.
A new version (1.6) with syncing problems in some devices was fixed.
Also the syncing performance is now faster and more reliable.
Also added new screen shots to the main thread. :laugh:

@mdmdmd27 the initial contact sync is a pain as it takes too long. Find a way to make this faster and work on the design and it will be a top app.
Thanks

Hi DrunkUncas,
Thanks for trying, I would love to hear your comments :laugh:

It's ok. Just tried it. Import was at good speed. :good:
My suggestions:
1. Other languages? I want it in german, please.
2. Dark theme. White is nice, but hurts my eyes. :cyclops:
3. When in list-view with notes showing, you can't see where the next contact begins. Or: Gridlines are not visible.
That's it from me. Overall I like it. THX

Hi ds1508,
Thank you for trying and thank you for the suggestions!
1-I wish I could find someone who could translate NOTEify to other languages..
I only know English so this is the main language for now.
If you know anyone who can translate it (for free at the moment, not a lot of text to translate though..)
I would love to talk with him
2-I might add an option to change between themes in the next version, I am thinking about it.
3-Thanks for stating it, I will fix it in the next version.
Thanks again for the contribution
Peace.

Actually it was to include your app into F-Droid repo.
1/ 2/ I think there are free tools for these purposes. I don't remember the names, though.
3/ What is FCM?
4/ Is this specific to Firebase ('accross devices'). I have already seen import/export feature into FLOSS apps like AFWall+.

1 & 2: I was using Fabric for the old version but then since Firebase got acquired by Google, i thought of centralizing things and rely on one service instead of multiple to reduce Complexity.
3: Firebase Cloud Messaging (AKA Google Cloud Messaging) its for push notifications. (No spam trust me :laugh
4- FA does not require you to export & import its stuff which is abit of tedious thing to do, instead FA offers you to click Backup on your lets say primary device & then lets say in your secondary device you click restore and that's it, whatever you have in your primary phone from settings, folders & apps will be in your secondary device without the hassle of doing them manually. i think this is a really cool feature that unfortunately nobody still know about it. i need to find a way tho to let FA users knows about it and use it, because its an awesome adds-on.
I'm thinking of adding Widgets for the future, maybe in version 11.0.0 it would be nice to have some floating Widgets that you can access them seamlessly, but it's still just an idea and haven't really yet start working on it as im currently working on Making a Github client that really suites me & i think it will suites others as the current ones in the Playstore are just either tooo ugly (no offense), featureless or both.

I'm a new user of FA and I have 2 suggestions if you are interested
1. Possibility to hide the floating button
2. Add actions like Recent apps, Enable/Disable WiFi or BT and so on...

These are really great suggestions:
1- This would be really nice tho. i'll think of how to implement it and do it asap.
2- I don't think this will be applicable for FA tho, hence the point of the APP to allow you to fast access your Apps, these Wifi, BT toggles are on also a swipe away from any screen, it won't really make sense to have it in FA, did you know, that you can double click on FA to go to your home? i doubt that hahaha, cuz i never mentioned it. alot of stuff to be addressed, but i just don't know how i address them lol.
Thank you very much for your continuos effort to reply and suggest ideas, i really appreciate them.

I have access to my homescreen thanks to my Home button
BTW is there a way to reorder my apps into the folders (instead of in alphabetical order)? (FA Floating Mode set to Folders)
EDIT: last suggestions @k0sh
- Being able to choose into a built-in list of icons for each folder (instead of having the first two letters of our folder names).
- Auto close FA after selecting an app.

Hi, please report and crashes. I think signing in the account is going to be difficult.

Thanks a lot
I have already given a thumbs up to the post. But still wanted to just say thanks. This guide was really helpful! Cheers!

Works in CM14.1, Moto G 2014. It would be nice to have an option to store to the external SD card with DocumentProvider storage.
I am able to store to the external SD card if I create an app folder like "/storage/SD_CARD_FOLDER/Android/data/com.randomapp.blah", however, I would prefer to just store to a custom folder.
Anyways, thanks for this. I have been looking for a youtube-dl gui for Android for a while. :good:

Yes, it does. But needs to be tested.

Audio download support perhaps?

I was panning this feature but since the app hasn't become much popular, I'm not sure if I can afford to work on it.
BTW, you can download audio by selecting the m4a format in YouTube. Some other sites should work too, like SoundCloud.

New version 1.05
- Fixed in app youtube-dl update and apk update.
- Doesn't need yt plugin anymore
- Fixed some notification bugs
- Fixed some crashes
- Better wordings for some stuff.

OHMYGOD! You Sir royale1223, are a gentleman and a scholar! Thank you so much for making this. While there are so many youtube downloaders out there, youtube-dl is the best because of how many hundreds of sites it supports.
I would love to see this app developed further and would gladly donate for this purpose.
Some suggestions for the Avidd app:
1. Keep the last search stored in cache in case someone wants to download multiple formats (so it doesn't have to search for formats for each attempt). Even better, allow selection of multiple formats when downloading.
2. If I understand correctly, this app runs youtube-dl in the background and theoretically should support all the command line switches that youtube-dl supports. In that case, please also allow the option for advanced users to enter the command line code the way they would enter it on a computer. This way we can customize playlist downloads, automatic numbering, naming format etc.
3. One amazing feature in the youtube-dl program on PC is how it can automatically use ffmpeg to mix the best audio and best video files. I don't know if ffmpeg runs on android (or even if it is needed) but the ability to download bestaudio+bestvideo combination and automatically mixing it would be amazing.
Again, thank you so much for making this.

[APP] Latest News [28.10.2017]

Hi all,
I've made a super simple app for reading news using news-api. It shows sources (groupped by categories). So in short, app can:
Add xml feeds sources to the app
Show each source latest news
Show a preview of news (with basic Share and Open in browser options)
Tries to fetch the full content of the news including images
Show latest news of Favorite sourcess
Shows you a bookmarked list or articles
Download on Google Play Store: Latest News
Screenshots:

TODO:
optimization everything for the tablet devices
select preferred language
Thank you for being an alpha tester. Please keep in mind that...
I'm opened for requests/ideas
I'll even fix any bugs you find!
Will change the name of the app to something better, since "latest news" will return at least 3029482093480 items when using search on google play store.

Gregor :good:

Rollout of new release has started:
Version 0.0.1 build 6
- Improved speed of scrolling in Favorites list and News of Source
- Implemented the grabber system which fetches the whole article and parse possible text of article including images (this is alpha of alpha app!)

Nice app, can you please add CBC News (Canadian Broadcasting Company)?

Thank you for your feedback. One of the next major improvements to app will be possibility of adding custom news pages. I will try me best to add it as soon as possible :good:

@paed808 & others
next release brings adding custom news sources:
{
"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"
}

Another huge update being rolled out today: Custom feeds!
There's been lots of refactoring, small fixes and improvements, but the biggest thing is finally implemented. Adding custom feeds. Just add the url of the news page or direct feed url (example http://www.cbc.ca/news), select a category and hope for the best!
Feel free to report any bugs you find.

After some release-break, here's yet another one. This has been an amazing month with a-lot of effort going towards development. Started as a simple newsapi client, I've got a few requests for which, I was sure it will take a while to implement them all. Since today, Latest News includes:
- a superb wizard just to remind you its beginner friendly,
- revamped source adding, which doesn't relly on newsapi anymore but uses own methods to fetch xml feeds and parse the data,
- super awesome grabber(tm), which downloads and parses the whole article from the websites, removes everything except the text story and images.
- an awesome back-end synchronization, which makes sure, your sources are always safe,
- and increadible new and redesigned menu (yea, this deserves a place on the list too!) and extra animations
It has been an awesome month.
Now, its up to people to start using it

Another update has been pushed to beta channel:
- added feeds Gruenderszene, NBA, JS weekly, Android Police, XDA-developers, Mac Rumors
- update sync so it will now handle a conflict between different remote/local entries; you will now have options to overwrite local, db or merge both,
- added read flag to article after it has been read.
- fixed the issue with images not being overwritten after refreshing the articles
- fixed the width of items which text isn't long,
- synchronizing favorites should now also work better
Enjoy!

Hi everyone! I'm happy to announce the first PRODUCTION release being rolled out.
Enjoy and don't forget to submit any bugs you find or feeds suggestions you would like to see in the app.

Wow the app is really cool. I will give it a try for a few days and see what It can do.
Just a question: can you add a way to login using Google account? There's a lot of passwords to remember and using Google is much better, with synchronization is superb.
PS: If you need someone to help you translating to portuguese let me know.

Finally an app that allows me read short rss feeds in full. Loves it. Please any plans for an import feature so I can import my feedly subscriptions? Thanks

plans to add to XDA labs or f droid?

Hi @udegbunamchuks - Just checked the OPML generated and yes, this is doable. You woulld like to see an option to import the exact OPML file, right? Sadly, it will take longer than one afternoon. Hope to keep you in the app until then :good:

With that, do you just mean if I plan to list the app on both services or completely open-source the code?

listing mostly but OS would be nice also.
feel like it would get more love at xda and f Droid.
btw been testing it and working great. been looking for a good rss reader for a long time.

None of my sources in this app shows any pictures. I even added MTV News since you used that in your screenshots and yours shows pictures for each article. It doesn't show any pictures on mine.

good evening @sourbear and thank you for your report. Just for test, please try adding "neowin". There are A LOT of sources, that just don't add image as leading article image (default rss image for specific article). However, it just happened none of your picked up source articles currently dont include any images.
MTV, at that time, had images, I've tested it again and what you found is correct. (Shame on them! ). Give them all a day or two.... you will start seeing them eventually. :good:

math in blogs
This is a great news for me, as I have been using feedMe for some time, but it cannot display mathjax properly.
So, two questions, do you plan to add mathjax/mathml support, and offline support as well?? Right now I tried https://terrytao.wordpress.com/feed/ and the math is not shown properly. Some formulas appear too big, some don't appear at all. Thank you for your work @greglord

Hi there
I will take a look immediatelly what's going on with those formulas!
Update @gilcu3
Just checked the source of the article and... oh my So far, I've made the formulas visible, however, since there is so much mixing between paragraphs and images (formulas), the "grabber" does not add texts to the full story. I humby ask for re-test after new update. If the content isn't something that suits you, I will invest more time and refactor the grabber to be more smart.
