So let the work begin and hope to see your contributions to this one as soon as possible.I will keep updating this thread every day in order to keep things in order. Good Luck!
What do I need?
1) Programmers
2) Designers
3) Beta testers: atomfix, JKshowman, Sellitus,MStott
P.S. Remember all who choose to contribute to this project please P.M me or post what are you willing to do in order to assign task based on your current skills.
MOD EDIT: thread close.

It's on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikebdev.refuel
UPDATE:
The app has developed quite a bit now and Im thinking of releasing it soon. Would love to get some more people for the Beta testing. Can't have enough feedback, right?

*Original Post*
Hey guys,
I started developing for Android about 3 Months ago. I published 1 really basic app on Google Play before. Now I am working on a new app.
This app is basically a Fuel Log App which also calculates consumption and a few statistics. At this time the app only works for Liters, Euro and Liter/100km but i plan to make this adjustable in the Settings, like you can already see. I just don't know yet how to implement this.
I still have to rewrite the hole simpleCursorManager stuff which is deprecated and also seems to cause problems on Android 4.0 Devices.
I would really like to hear some opinions about the current version especially about the design. Of course i would love to hear suggestions too. If someone wants to help, i would be happy, too.
I attached some screenshots below.
The App is for Android 4.0+
You can get the app here: (V0.4beta / 04.05.2013)

Thanks a lot
looks really nice ! definitely looks like something i would like to try out . i need to track my fuel consumption .
Looking good
GBP required and mpg also.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
thanks for your replies. Do you guys have any idea how i could support all those units? Until now i just populate the TextViews depending on the preferences.
update: See above. Beta Testers, raise your hands!
updated first post.
Any willing testers available? https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105919547307700899480
I have been thinking on starting developing applications for the Android Platform for a while, but never really had the chance to get a hold of sources to begin with. I was able to create my first android application and I thought sharing my findings in xda would only encourage me to work harder, and learn many more significant approaches to coding.
Anyways, I compiled my own root-checker or RChecker for short, and I though maybe some of you would like to try it out since the new 4.3 came out, and perhaps it works. I have only tested this app in 4.2.2 and still needs many more improvements to come, who knows, maybe I will create far more innovative apps. I'll share my findings and my link to sources.
Thanks to RootTools https://code.google.com/p/roottools/
and Stericson.
Don't be shy, test out my app and share your findings. Tell me if it works. PM any problems. Thank you.
Also, not granting super user permissions to the app will work.
Changelog:
v 0.1
First release.
v 0.2
More pleasant to the eye. Added "Override Failure!" for testing purposes only.
Still no display of commands
Hi,
I've developed a status sharing app that I would love you all to beta test - if possible. I have opened a beta testing thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444839
You can see my Google+ community here:
https://plus.google.com/communities/107832187650586554990
You can also see the XDA's beta testing community here:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/communi...4/stream/ddff7b06-a201-469f-a6d4-1af362de8aed
You can join either or both of the above communities (definitely join XDA's) and you will get access to my app for beta.
This is the first app I've created - infact I have both learnt Java and the Android stack with this app.
Please give your feedback, good/bad and help me decide whether the app is worth sticking with or dumping!!!
Thanks for any help.
Spotify DogfoodThe open-source ad-free version of Spotify for Android
Hello all,
First of all, I'd like to address about the reason behind making this thread, and the project that is behind it.
I thought to myself, why people are free to publish YouTube mods to avoid ads, but not Spotify? So there's why the project started.
Spotify Dogfood is a mod of the Spotify Android App, coming directly from the Google Play Store and in both it's Beta and probably Stable releases, and modded in the cleanest way possible. This mod is "open-source". The Spotify app itself of course isn't, but the alterations/modifications done to the app in order to avoid ads are clear and concise, well-documented, and are getting uploaded as patchsets, so that they are perceptible and crystal clear at plain sight. This is because people, starting by myself, don't easily trust modded applications out there, so this makes it easier for you all to "audit" the modifications, and even contribute to the project by forking it, making your changes and then pushing it back to me.
This project has been running for several months now, and it's been now that I decided to move a step forward and make it public.
Restrictions and limitations:
This application replaces your current Spotify installation. You need to uninstall any previous installations of it first.
If the app came bundled with your device, like most Samsung devices, you can't use this mod out of the box, since you need to change the package name to a different one.
This application has been signed with a different key than the one used by Spotify. This means that Facebook login won't work unless you don't have Facebook's app installed, or you uninstall and/or deactivate it, if it came bundled with your device. Once done, log-in to your account using Facebook and, once logged-in, re-download and/or re-activate your Facebook app, if you want to.
This application won't work with Android Auto, since it hasn't been installed by the Google Play Store's agent. Fortunately, there's a fix found by XDA's News Writer @MishaalRahman, which you can read here.
As commented by Senior Moderator @matt4321, please, refrain from asking for other premium features to be unlocked.
What is different from *others'* mods:
Like I said previously, I didn't feel comfortable trusting code I had never seen, then I started investigating on how to disable Ads and such on my own and with help of awesome pages like this one that helped me clear my mind on how to properly modify the liborbit-jni so file. Once I had finally understood how it worked, I've made it public so that anyone can revise it on it's own.
How to contribute:
You can have a bit more information in the README uploaded in the repo. But basically, feel free to fork any branch you want, modify or investigate the patchsets as you want and recreate them in a different package.
Cool story bro, where's the download??!1:
Whoa there, cowboy!
All downloads, both precompiled APKs and Source code can be found in the GitHub Releases section.
Please, also kindly note the following - Do NOT re-upload them.

Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: 8.4.39.612-dogfood
Stable Release Date: 2018-01-28
Created 2017-07-06
Last Updated 2018-03-01
How to apply the PatchSets
To apply the patchsets manually, you need the following tools:
Git, and preferably GitHub's app for Windows.
Java JDK and it's environment variables properly set-up
APKtool
An Android Keystore to sign your APKs
The version you wish to apply the patchset to, from APKmirror.
Android Debugging Bridge installed (perferably system-wide), as well as it's drivers if you're on Windows.
Once you meet all of the above, it's as easy as it follows:
Code:
#unpack the apk
java -jar apktool_WhateverVersion.jar d NameOfTheApk.apk && cd NameOfTheApk
#now copy the patch file to the dir you're on
git apply --stat NameOfThePatch.path #checks the stats
git apply --check NameOfThePatch.path #sees if it's compatible with the environment
git apply NameOfThePatch.path #applies the patch
#compile the result
java -jar apktool_WhateverVersion.jar b NameOfTheDirectory
#sign with your key
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore /path/to/your/keystore NameOfTheDirectory/dist/NameOfTheResultingFile.apk YOURALIAS
#install the final apk
adb install -r NameOfTheDirectory/dist/NameOfTheResultingFile.apk
If you want to review the patch itself, you can use git-am.
You have more info in GitHub's README file.
In order to comply with XDA's Rules and CoC, Spotify Dogfood has taken a new direction, and now offers *exclusively* Ad-free music playback. Any other features won't be included anymore in this mod. But, that doesn't mean anything if you're a true, a core user of this app, because there will still be regular updates to it, as there has been up until now.
However, all patchsets, branches and everything that has been posted up until now will be deleted progressively, in order to comply with the above mentioned.
Still have doubts? Read this:

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WON'T READ THE FIRST POST:
1. Dogfood only supports shuffle mode at normal quality with No ADVERTISEMENTS.
2. The mod had to be changed due to xda rules
3. This thread is not the place to complain. If you have an issue with the changes go to the telegram chat and talk with other dogfood users
4. There is nothing you can do to change the situation - be happy with what you get. No advertisements is still a really good perk
5. Support the developer if you can, monetarily or through teaching noobs about how to read the OP.
6. Look outside of xda if you can't handle the changes, but do not post any information on this board. Keep it related to dogfood

After a day of usage, Spotify now tells me to buy premium to play my songs.

How many songs/hours worth of music have you played non stop? Have you tried basic stuff like rebooting your device or clearing the app data? Can you try running Spotify in your desktop pc and let it run for a few songs to see how it reacts?
I've been using latest version at my workplace for 8+ hours, and I've a small group of early adopters that have been trying it out too, and none of us have ever seen that kind of message in our devices.

I haven't done any of that, sorry. I jist tried playing around 30 minutes last night then tried the morning and then it started giving me the message.
Let me try to do the following later.

Thank you very much! This is awesome, you are awesome!
I’ll try! Thanks!
Oh yeah!!!!!! Great work and great dev to make this open source app... Congrats

Nice, I'm currently using a modded one anyway but an open source version on XDA is always preferred. Can you add a changelog at all? The one I'm currently used to using shows all changes and features that it enables but I haven't seen a list like that here.
Awesome job I need this
This is amazing. Works like a charm. Thank you very much!
