[DEV][4.2] Shortcuts for Waze 2.0 - Android Apps and Games

Waze does not provide a built in way to add shortcuts to places. So about a year ago I wrote a little app to provide them. Since then the app got moderately popular, and while the reviews were good (4.5 stars), people who wrote them kept asking for some features the app was lacking. So I added most of the requested features (and a few others that made sense) and released version 2.0.
Download from Google Play
Features:
* Use them anywhere shortcuts are accepted
* Custom Icons
* Double Shortcuts - add a via point [beta]
* Address autocomplete
* Can now enter lat/long coordinates directly
* Select current location
* Select addresses from contacts
Note: the in-app purchases are all completely optional "donation" types.

good work

[APP] Hubroid - The Awesome GitHub app for Android - 2.0-beta4 updated 6/4/11!

2.0 Update:
Version 2.0 brings about a major redesign and refactor of the code. It has been brought up to date with GitHub's API, so the frequent crashes should be gone. See the feature list below to see what else has been added.
First of all, I'd like to thank a few people:
Prash for the awesome logo
GitHub for their awesome services
famfamfam for the really cool icons
This app currently allows you to do the following:
Search Repositories and Users
Show Watched Repositories
Show Followers/Following
Commit Log
Commit Info w/ Diff viewer
Repository Network Listings
Public/Private Activity Feeds
View, add, and comment on Issues
And other cool stuff...
2.0 Update:
New and improved interface
Internal links in the News feed
Better diff viewing
Tree browser
File viewing
Much, much more!
Hubroid can be found on the Market here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.idlesoft.android.apps.github
Please download and test it out! I'll appreciate any bug reports and suggestions I can get.
With 2.0, the free version is no longer ad-supported and the donate version has been removed. I found it tedious to maintain to separate uploads without getting much in return, so I thought I'd just release it as a free, no-strings-attached application. However, if you would like to support me, there is a donation link in my signature.
I've made it open-source, and have published the code on (guess where?) GitHub:
http://github.com/eddieringle/hubroid

edit: nvm, found it in the market
edit2: hmmm, doesnt seem to work on my desire running cyanogenmod, crashes during login

First of all : great app !
But i've some issue when i check my repos since i think 2 or 3 weeks...
It seems to be on Cyanogenmod repos. I got a FC when i try gingerbreak and thème exp repos..
Check out the original post, I've just released 2.0 to the Market.
Great App

I don't plan on releasing a paid variant of Hubroid from this point forward. It should stay 100% free from now on.
I just installed this app, but I found that I couldn't login my account while I can login on github.com using the sam account. Is there anything wrong?
Same thing, can't log in.
how do i use this?
OMFG - love that you are doing this!!!!!!
Does this app run on MDJ Gingerbread 2.3.2
not compatable with 1.6 doughnut nowere in the store and unable to install it, if i am in the clear someone tell me whats wrong thanks
The login issues seemed to be a problem on GitHub's side. They should have subsided by now. Also, make sure you're using your GitHub USERNAME, not your email (hence why the text field is labeled "Username").
@baric88 Hubroid 2.0 requires Android 2.1 and up. There are currently no plans to support versions less than this, sorry.
Still can't log in. I am sure I use correct login details
Just a quick update, the latest revision of beta 3 is in the Market. Since mid-February, the login bug has been fixed, support for Android 1.6 was added, and a whole lot of other stuff.
The school year is starting to wind down, which has given me lots of time to work on Hubroid. The latest version on the Market is 2.0-beta4 (remember, I often release updates under the same version while the application is in beta!).
Beta 4 includes tons of tweaks, fixes and improvements. Get it on the Market.
Why can't I get this on Play store on my One X? Says device not supported...
After a long hiatus I decided to rewrite Hubroid from scratch for ICS, while retaining compatibility with previous platforms.
No idea when it'll be ready to release (I want to get as many features in as possible in order to match it to the existing 2.0 builds.
You can follow the progress on GitHub.

[APP] Pubtran London 0.1

Hi, I just released a London public transit journey planner app - Pubtran London. You'll find it on the Market. Can you try it and give some feedback?
FEATURES
Intelligent autocomplete with all London stops / stations
Easy to use and neat interface
...more coming later, this is the first version
This is based on my "Pubtran" app (journey planner for Czech Republic, #4 top rated on appbrain.com). I want to create versions for more cities / countries in the future, if you are a developer willing to cooperate on this, please let me know. I'm working on making it really easy for developers to add support for other public transit networks.
Hi there,
Just installed the program. I am guessing the lack of stations is because it is still in beta.
I like the interface, simple is nice.
However, I get constant FC on my Samsung Galaxy i9000. So i cannot fully test the program .
@benG1
Thanks for trying it! What stations are missing and when do you get the FCs? I know that when you enter a station that is not in the autocomplete list, it usually crashes.
I will fix that obviously but I think that users would rarely enter the whole station manually - they would select it from the autocomplete (if it's there of course).
BTW are you from London?
Oh wait my bad. All stations are there. Just only the stations beginning with a are shown in dropdown box with no input into search box which is what confused me.
Fc's when i click find journey...
And yes i am from London but in newcastle at the moment.
Hope this helps.

The newest version from the Market should fix some crashing issues.
But there is still one bug - it crashes when you enter stop name that contains apostrophe (').
I was asking if you are from London to find out if nearest stop suggestions are working but now I know it doesn't...
Just downloaded the new one.
For some reason, even though I am in Newcastle it gave me my 2 nearest stations back home... whether or not that is because I put in my station last time.
But gave me the correct route, just some buses came up as D...what does that mean? Rail replacement?
Otherwise, gives good routes and such. Looking good, potential app for me to use at home
The stops are sorted based on several factors - previous use, time of previous use, importance (tube stations are more importnt than bus stops) and geo distance. So the 2 were suggested because you used them previously.
What is bus D - I don't know too , probably replacement.
Looking good then, just the apostrophe issue and i say good to go! Loving the simplistic theme so please dont change .
Simplicity is one of my top priorities, so you don't need to worry
But I guess it'll take some time before final release is ready - there are still some minor issues and I want to add some features (search options, add to calendar etc).
Definitely has more stations than any other existing app on the market.
The interface is very simple, which I like, but it takes time to realise what means what. I mean like how the transfers are marked, etc. Maybe you could include some help with the app or starting overview.
And the only visual bug I've noticed on my Nexus One is that if the station name is too long, it goes under delete button and looks a bit messy. I think the button should have a white background, so that it hides text under it.
@Karolis
How should I modify (or completely change) the results to be more understandable? Also please have a look here: hhttp://ui.stackexchange.com/q/2270/1565
The visual bug - it will be fixed in the final version.
Any other feedback is always welcomed!
(deleted my duplicate post)
I think the results are easy to understand imho.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I don't think you should necessarily change anything. It's just that I was used to some other apps, and it took a good couple looks to get used to this one, but when I did, I just love the simplicity.
What I'd like to see in this app is a bit more advanced planning options, so that I could exclude some modes of transportation. So let's say I want to travel only by bus, I should exclude everything else.
@Karolis
Search options are definitely coming in the future (departure/arrival time, modes of transport - bus/tube/tram/... etc). I'll probably leave the layout unchanged for now.
Nice, but needs more functionality
I like it, but it could do with some more functionality.
Likes:
Nice clean interface
Ability to see the endpoint of transit
Could do with:
Ability to record home and bookmark other destinations
Ability to get geolocation
Transit maps
One of the other London transit apps I use is London Journey, which offers a lot more to me than something like this to be honest.
@adesweb
Ability to record home and bookmark other destinations - I don't think this is needed. The autocomplete dropdown suggests stops that you have used before.
Ability to get geolocation - This is not working for some reason, I can't test that as I'm not from London...
Transit maps - I will add that sometimes.
London Journey app - I hope my app will be better eventually
New version on the market:
* Option to choose departure or arrival time
* New icon
* Minor visual changes
* Nearest stops suggestions should work now
* Improved stops list
* Fixed crash with stops, that contain apostrophe
What should be in the next release?
Downloaded the new version.
Not a fan of the new icon, but minor details.
Like the new journey interface, looks nice and still easy to read. Apostrophe crash sorted on my phone too.
Next release, choose bus or train, direct route/fastest route/less congested route etc? Dont go through station or dont use certain transport ^_^
Try version 1.0 from the Market. What's new:
* Advanced search options
* Route details with traffic disruptions
* New icon (again)
* Visual changes
* All National Rail stations in the UK included
* You can enter postcodes as departure / arrival
I think it's the best app for journey planning now
Any feedback is appreciated.

How To Keep Your Android Phone From Being Hacked By Malicious Apps

Steve Kovach | Mar. 3, 2011, 10:11 AM
Yesterday we told you about the 21 malicious apps Google yanked from the Android Market.
Now at least 30 more have been discovered and removed. These apps are designed to gain root access to your phone and steal information such as your carrier ID. It also opens up your phone to even more malicious code.
Many of the apps have seemingly innocuous names like "Scientific Calculator" or raunchy ones like "Super Sex Positions." If you're ever in doubt about an app, err on the side of caution and don't download it.
One of our commenters pointed out a free Android app called Lookout that will scan anything you download to your phone for malware. We've used Lookout before, but haven't found a need for it until now.
Download it for free in the Android Market and allow it to run in the background. Lookout will notify you if it finds a virus or malware on your phone.
So far, it looks like three developers are responsible for the malicious apps. If you see an app from we20090202, Kingmall2010, or Myournet do not download it.
Here's the list of the malicious apps from Lookout's blog that have been identified so far:
* Falling Down
* Super Guitar Solo
* Super History Eraser
* Photo Editor
* Super Ringtone Maker
* Super Sex Positions
* Hot Sexy Videos
* Chess
* 下坠滚球_Falldown
* Hilton Sex Sound
* Screaming Sexy Japanese Girls
* Falling Ball Dodge
* Scientific Calculator
* Dice Roller
* 躲避弹球
* Advanced Currency Converter
* App Uninstaller
* 几何战机_PewPew
* Funny Paint
* Spider Man
* 蜘蛛侠
* Bowling Time
* Advanced Barcode Scanner
* Supre Bluetooth Transfer
* Task Killer Pro
* Music Box
* Sexy Girls: Japanese
* Sexy Legs
* Advanced File Manager
* Magic Strobe Light
* 致命绝色美腿
* 墨水坦克Panzer Panic
* 裸奔先生Mr. Runner
* 软件强力卸载
* Advanced App to SD
* Super Stopwatch & Timer
* Advanced Compass Leveler
* Best password safe
* 掷骰子
* 多彩绘画
* Finger Race
* Piano
* Bubble Shoot
* Advanced Sound Manager
* Magic Hypnotic Spiral
* Funny Face
* Color Blindness Test
* Tie a Tie
* Quick Notes
* Basketball Shot Now
* Quick Delete Contacts
* Omok Five in a Row
* Super Sexy Ringtones
* 大家来找茬
* 桌上曲棍球
* 投篮高手

oh man... I thought this might be helpful info for us here. be careful with leaked apps as well. You never know if they've been modified in some way. You could be opening up your phone to an exploit.
Great!
I´ll upload my article regarding this
Will stick for the time being
Is there no checking of apps before being allowed onto the market?

So, is Lookout now a needed App ? And do i have to register to run Lookout ?
My market does not work, can anyone please attach the lookout apk here?
Nice and the war begines Virus makers v anti virus
Hi
Thank you for the important info youv shared
my first questions to acctualy start looking for defence against malware
lookup seems good by all the feedback iv got but who is lookup?
why should i trust lookup?
yeh you can call it paranoia but better safe huh.
Not sure about other options, sure there are more around.
I got this as a recommendation and so far it´s doing the job

Can´t tell if it´s a needed app but it´s better to have it and see if it feeds your needs.

See, that to me is ridiculous on google's part.
Applications need to be vetted, if that slows down the app population growth then so be it.
I'm pretty sure that the MS Marketplace doesn't just let people upload apps to it as when an excellent train timetable app stopped working and needed an update, MS took ages to allow the update onto the marketplace (I would imagine they were somewhat tied up prepping for the release of WP7 which makes sense).
If an app that runs on our phones is able to detect such malware, then why can't google even impliment an auto scan on uploads to the market?
I've always been cautious of the market as I've suspected that apps aren't vetted, the official sources of apps HAVE to be safe no matter what OS
does anyone know if your gmail password gets stored anywhere in the phone, just alittle curious, cause if they can only get my phone number and email address
Very nice, thanks for the info!!!
Will download and give this a test run. Btw some of those raunchy apps, maybe they shouldn't have dl'd them in the first place. D=
What's lacking in all the commentary is how to check whether your device has indeed been infected.
Now I didn't have the various raunchy/boob/japanese school girl apps installed, but I may have had the scientific calculator installed as well as Advanced Barcode Scanner (I need to check when I get home).
Sod's law says that the one time I boot Android in weeks (device is normally being used for Meego/Ubuntu development) I get a virus.
This article gives some information about what the installer does:
http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/03/03/droid-dream-android-market-malware-attack-aftermath/
So I guess I should check and see what services are now running, see the names of the app publishers, etc. to determine whether I am indeed infected.
Thank you for share,, I install only market applications, have a lot of apps and i only install applications if are a cracked version of an application available on market
Will antiviruses sold on the market particularly help protect you from malware?
I heard a while back that antiviruses on Android weren't essential...
I believe you guys should give Lookout a bit more credit, too.
Their website offers a great service if you actually sign up and use it.
They have a free "Phone-Finder" service that actually works very well.

[APP][2.2+] Simple lists app: Lists!

Update: 7/13 - added free version (ad supported) to market.
I've always wanted a very simple app to let me have lists on my phone - shopping lists, to-do lists, etc, but it seems like the ones on the market have too many features that get in the way of easily creating lists, adding items, marking items as complete, and that's about it. So, I went ahead and wrote my own.
As of now, I'm happy with the app, and I've been using it for a couple of months now with no problems. But, being my first Android app (I am a professional programmer, but work in the web & desktop worlds), I'm sure there are opportunities to add features/functionality that would enhance the pure list-making experience. I had though about drag-and-drop reordering of the lists, but that seems to be more difficult to implement than I anticipated. Aside from that, I'm all ears about how to make the app better, prettier, more efficient, and more useful.
See attached for screenshots:
1) Main Screen - add/delete/backup/restore lists here
2) Back up is a simple SQLite DB file copy to the SDCard
3) Here are items in one list. Notice that some are gray - these have been "cleared" or "marked" as being complete by the user, via a simple click/toggle. An item's "cleared" status persists in the database
4) Once you're done clearing items, you can remove them from the list and database. Or, alternatively, you can unmark all of them.
See attached for APK file...
As I said, any suggestions or criticisms would be welcomed - but keep in mind that this app has a narrow focus, and I want it be very good with regard to that focus.
EDIT: Forgot also that now the app has a minimum SDK version of 8, so this app will run on Froyo (2.2) and above
I've done quite a bit more work, and now this app is available in the Google Play store. Since I don't have 10 posts yet, it won't let me include a hyperlink but here's the URL:
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kozzer.lists&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5rb3p6ZXIubGlzdHMiXQ..
You can also find it easily by searching on my Google Play developer name: WebKozzer.
The additions include:
* drag and drop reordering
* 2 themes (light and dark)
* Optional numbering of list items
* Edit list name, or item text
* Delete contents of list without deleting list itself
* Configurable backup path
and more!
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!
Added free, ad supported version to the market. Any feedback or feature requests would be welcomed. I was contemplating attempting to integrate voice commands. Like, once the app is open, you can use voice commands to do everything the app lets you do via touchscreen. It appears that this would require a fairly significant coding effort, and I'm not sure how useful that'd be either.
Both the pay and free versions have been updated. Some UI changes, undo functionality, and ability to add items using voice.
Play links:
Pay version
Free (ad) version
Update: 12/12 - Removed ads from Lists! Free.
Also/including:
More general cleanup
Removed network state / access permissions (since they were used for ads only)
APK size reduced by about 100kB (removed AdMob library)
Improved error handling
nice job keep working on it
