Database Info

Android Town

Ok, Android Town is now an obsolete name and application on the market. It was renamed to Peeples. Peeples is a seperate app on the market so you would need to download that one. It uses the same DB as Android Town so all your information is saved.
Peeples is a social community application which is location based. It enables users to see other users of the application on the map and strike up a conversation with them. Privacy options are also available.
So far the application has over 11k users.
Peeples has the added options of:
- uploading profile pictures and avatar through the application
- sending files from SD card with messages as attachments (5Mb limit for now)
Try it out and let me know what you think.

Running it on a G1 running CM 4.2.15.1.
Noticed a few things.
1) Registration via App Only (not a big deal, just no indication on the site as such)
2) Registration within the app resulted in "passwords do not match" ANY time I left a password field even when they did match
3) Map reacts slowly when being moved or zoomed in/out
As there's no one yet in my area run ning this, I haven't tested many of the other features. I'll report as I experience more.

Thanks for giving it a try. Hopefully some more US citizens register so you'll be able to interact with them. 5000 kms (around 3100 miles) is the biggest radius so far. Most of the users are in Europe at the moment.
Thanks for the heads up on the registration part. I will definitely try to improve it.
I was also thinking about adding content from social networks if users have any (FB, Twitter, FLickr...). What do you think about that?
And thanks again for testing

Have yet to install the newer release for testing, but looking forward to it.
The concept of linking other social media is a fine idea, provided that there are switches set in place to allow for selected/unselected status. I know plenty of users who would want to publish information for their Facebook, but may want to avoid doing so on other networks.
Either way, yeah, further integration with social media is a fine idea.

ill install and test tmmrw probably

seems pretty cool ill make sure to throw it on my EVO as soon as it freakin comes out

Added to my G1. Will let you know what happens.

Cheers. I sent you a msg in the app as well. Can you test how the send message screen looks on lower resolution please?

Testing it out now , but not many *users* in norway.
I'm the only one

Application is still in its's early days. If you choose a larger radius you will see more users (around 45 accross the world right now)

Application has just been published to the market as well, under the Social category of applications.

How about making a public chat channel that every one is in , when we connect . And late maybe switch it so it will be local / country only.
All depending on how many users this app gets

That's actually a very good idea. I'll be sure to do that as soon as possible...shouldn't be that hard (at least for a single one for starters)

Good nice app!

Already tweeted this. I'll Buzz it as well.

Private Messages look fine on the G1. No issue there.
I'll be comparing my experience to my friend's on the Nexus. Hopefully provide you some better feedback concerning how this works with the G1's older hardware.
Edit: First things we noticed, "Passwords do not match!" error is still present when registering via the app, even if the passwords do match. This issue has been replicated on the G1 and the Nexus 1.
Other noted issues:
Attempt to "Add as friend" on the G1 results in a toast of "Error". No other information contained in error.
Sending a picture on the G1 took about 1 min 45 seconds from time of shot to "Picture sent!" toast showed up.
I'll see what I can do to provide better information (such as screenshots, etc)
Let me know what else you could use.

Just a thought, an option to register via the desktop(internet) as well.
i couldn't figure out how to register until I found it as an option in settings when the app was open.
Doh.
It's lonely in the south of england......

Working on the mentioned bugs as we speak. Will probably release an upgrade today that might fix a few things.
@squirreleater: the internet register option is definitely needed. I agree.

anyone from germany?
feature request: please include option to add user with the username directly so that people from here can invite eachother other than searching on the map

Wont install on my Hero ??

[APP] Droid2Desk - now with alpha release(s)

So I've been working on a small project in my spare time with my Nexus One (although is should work with any Android 2.0+ device). Basically it allows you to connect to your phone via WiFi and do a few different things like view/send SMS, view notifications, remotely control the camera and/or transfer files to and from the device. It's a work in progress, I just figured I'd post some screenshots here to see what kind of interest is out there.
An example of a few notifications:
{
"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"
}
Showing some extra details about the device we are connected to:
SMS view (show's all the current SMS conversations on the device)
and of course, an individual conversation view that allows you to carry on an SMS conversation
Remote camera control. Currently it does stills, but I'm going to work in some video as well. Not sure how much demand there is to turn an Android phone into a WiFi spy camera
That's it for now. Should I keep developing this beast or what?
edit:
It also runs on any platform that supports Java. Here it is on a CentOS linux box
Edit - alpha release post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8148550&postcount=170
Ok, first off let me stress this fact:
THIS IS ALPHA SOFTWARE!
This is only being released here to get it running on a few different devices and see if it complete implodes or not. There are lots of bugs and lots of things that aren't close to being finished. I just don't want to put in tonnes of development time only to find out it only works on my Nexus One. If you're an Android/computer noob, this probably isn't for you. Also note, a WiFi connection is required for this to work.
There are two pieces to the application
Android Application (Droid2Desk.apk)
This is to be installed on your device and currently you must manually start it to enable Droid2Desk to work. In the future this will most likely be a self starting service. The first thing to do is install the apk, start Droid2Desk, tap to stop the service, set the name of your device and enter a password, then tap to restart the service. Note that when you install the apk it needs a lot of permissions. These are all required for the functionality provided by the application. Currently, if you want to receive notifications on your desktop you must go into Settings, Accessibility and enable the Droid2Desk accessibility service. This allows ALL notifications on your device to be captured by Droid2Desk. This may or may not change in the future.
Desktop Application (Droid2Desk_xxxxxx.zip)
This zip file contains an executable Java JAR file along with some prerequisite files required to run Droid2Desk. It should run on any OS that supports Java. Extract everything in the zip to a folder, maintaining the folder structure. On most systems you can simply double click Droid2Desk.jar and it will launch. If this doesn't work, navigate to a command prompt/terminal and run the application with "java -jar Droid2Desk.jar". Once the application is started, it should find your android device and you will be able to Connect, enter the password you picked above and hit Connect again. At this point, Droid2Desk will connect to your device and sync some information. The first time you do this it may take a minute.
You are now in the main application. If you get a notification on your device, it should show in the Notifications Tab. The Camera tab should allow you to snap a picture (the Droid2Desk application must be in the foreground on your device for now). The SMS tab should show you all your conversations and allow you to continue them. You can't start a new conversation yet! Finally the files tab, should show you a tree with your sdcard contents and you should be able to navigate the directories. You can't download or upload yet.
I think that's enough to get you running. If anything goes really wrong, screen shots and device specs are a must. I'm going to sit on development for a day or so until I see what kind of feedback I get here. As I said previously, I don't want to get too far ahead until I have some idea if this works for others.

Video is an absolute. I use droid cam (wifi video) to watch the babies remotely, use on a laptop with no camera, tour my house and also caught a little sh*thead throwing rocks at my house with it. Wifi streaming video webcam rocks!

awesome work!, keep working...!

sounds amazing. i'd pay for it.

You can have a full sms conversation on your PC, everything is routed through the phone.

I have a friend who was just about to start development on a way to send MMS/SMS through his phone, I'm sure he's interested.
I don't text much, but overall this program is pretty cool, particularly if as said, if you can stream video or series of snapshots.

Why does it need Internet connection and my location? Looks suspicious.

I would have purchased the pro version, but the permissions it asks for include location and full internet access.
Sorry, I don't buy programs that ask for those permissions.
If you will remove the crapware and malware from the pro version, I'd be happy to buy it.

Hm...I can't see the video here at work, but I'd still rather have a version that didn't have all that stuff. I'd be happier with just allowing the app to save the files someplace that a dedicated app can get to it for doing those functions.
Guess I've become a minimalist after having to fix my wife's phone so many times. I no longer like apps that appear to require more permissions than are obviously necessary to accomplish the task. This looks like it might be a great app, and I'd be happy to pay the cash for it, but only if it's an offline app that saves files locally for other, dedicated apps to synchronize with whatever service you desire.

Okay, update: I had a friend check the video. It looks to him like the author is using a Chinese-language phone.
I'm a security professional. Perhaps you didn't read about the Android Trojans that have been found on Chinese apps last week by Lookout. Also perhaps you don't know that China has a cyber-warfare unit that actively attempts to compromise systems in other countries. Heck, look at what they did to Google!
Again, sorry, but I'm not going to put an app on my phone that's asking for all of those permissions.
Dev, I'm sure that you've put a lot of time and effort into your app. I'd love to purchase it, if you'll put out a version that doesn't ask for those other permissions, so that I'd feel safe in using it.
Thanks

Nice app, will be great for flowcharts.

What do you think? Have I achieved my goal?
Your feedback is much appreciated!

good app
the app is good the ui is nice if possible try to add lock option and what are the restrictions for lite version mention it also and try to add google drive option to backup

Lock option may be really useful.
I'll consider Google Drive synchronization also
Lite version restrictions are:
- synchronization
- adding new categories
But they could be easily unlocked even in free version
Thank you jeevan_500

You just need a network connection. Features is unlocked by watching several videos or installing a couple of apps

how
i have an network connection dude how to watching several videos or installing a couple of apps to get full features can you give step by step procedure i like your app and want to try full features in your app

You should go to "Settings" on the right pane of the main screen and tap on "Synchronization".
After that you'll see the list of offers with videos and apps. By clicking on them you'll receive Points which are needed to unlock the feature.
The same list will appear when you add new category while adding new transaction.
Of course, if you want you can just buy Pro version and get all the features unlocked)

not working
i have followed your procedure and pressed the dropbox option it opes two option one to google play store to buy and another update points after that when i press both option it does not go either to playstore or shows how to increase points it strucks there and shows no internet connection while i am having internet connection and all my rest apps are working fine kindly fix that bug and try to add lock option

Fix is coming soon
"Get on Google Play" button will be fixed today. Thank you for pointing it out!
If you see "Refresh" button it means that your network connection is not stable. You could try to find more powerful signal

Looks like a really nice app. Can you add multiple account support & transfer money from one account to the other?

Thank you for your feedback!
Unfortunately, for now we do not plan to add multiple accounts support, because we want to keep the app as simple as possible.
The main goal of Monefy is to help you to track the expenses very easy. If an app is too complicated, it is boring to add all transactions. We really want to avoid it

I don't think it would make your app complicated for the user, in fact it is a major feature great in demand by most users.
This feature can be added while maintaining the simplicity of app. For example you may swipe on the main app screen to change between accounts.
Sent from my One V using Tapatalk

Sounds reasonable. I'll consider adding this feature in the future
Thanks a lot!

Just discovered this AMAZING app. I was using Financius (good app but too simple). I tried a lot of others apps, but none of them have all the features this app has. Not to mention that the interface is really easy to use. It's nearly perfect! I will definitely recommend it.
As a suggestion, it would be great to have some sort of graphs mode (like Spendee) to see the ups and downs and the overall of the money flow.

Everything is cached. I did major improvements in the Google Photos loading process. Only new photos are loaded and not all every time! Also thumbnails don't expire anymore! New photos are mapped automatically now! It's just crazy how good it performs now...
Here is the Service Provider Dialog where you can switch between the data sources within seconds:
Supported data sources:
Your local storage (device folders)
Google Photos (in combination with your location history for the FIRST setup)
Google Drive
OneDrive

PS: I will also try to integrate the cloud support to the full gallery as well!

I can't get this to find the zip file i download for location. And when i paid for the app originally, i didn't have to mess around like that anyway

Just select the download folder where you've downloaded yourt file. I improved the instructions recently. I'm sorry, but currently there is no other way. Also, thats only needed once!
if you purchased the previous version, you will get that one for free.

Okay, i was doing that before but I've now got it to work. 2 things.
First your instructions need to state 'you won't see the downloaded file when searching for it, just choose where you downloaded it to and press okay' second saying it may take a minute or two is a serious understatement, it took about 10 minutes! My phone is a galaxy note 8 so no slouch.
