The app is free for the moment - and will be free (even the pro version) for everyone that helps me my sending me bugs/features.
If you have any ideas, you are more than welcome to send them to me an I will try to implement them as soon as possible.

Nice app, nice to be able to see how many sattelites I'm connected to right in the status bar, beats having to open a seperate app to check

Working on HD2 with TyphooN_CM7_v3.3.7.

The service itself is activating...but the service doesn't aktivate GPS.

Nice App! Is it possible to change the color according to the status searching for sats = yellow / fix = green?

Hi,
Installed on my DHD with CM7 and it works perfectly. I really like the little notification telling you that service is actually switched on and off when you open and close apps, does this show that my GPS unit is actively seeking sats or just your service? I need to have a test on the open road as i am sat in the office at the moment and can only see 1 sat. I'll have a look and see if i am getting much drain.
Personally, my suggestion would be to have a option to have a timeout on the notification icon and keep the info in the drag down drawer as it is at the moment. I don't really need to know that GPS is active but i often find myself wondering if i have a good fix when Maps has me driving in the sea.

On Garmin-Asus A50 it works ok, exept u get a notice "GPS position changed" wich notice will not go away.

number of fixed sats instead of sats i can see
Hi,
I think that number of fixed Sats gives better information than number of sats i can see. I am currently using GPS Status program to see how many sats are fixed when i am using GPS program without feature that can show fixed sats. Your program with notification in the bar will be definitively better alternative.

Nice little program OP, can't see the PRO version in the Market though

I just installed the app and so far it's working ok... I like knowing how many satellites are locked in.. I believe this is an app that has been needed for some time.. I'll be interested to see how much battery it uses.. I'll be looking forward to more updates..
Edit: my phone info.. Droid X running Liberty v .8

Hi,
nice app. Thanks.
But logo in taskbar ist hard to read (grey/green). Not enough contrast.
Maybee you can change logo for better readability.
Thanks schrej

Please add a 1x1 widget that allows me to clear GPS data and redownload with a single tap. I'd tap it before entering Maps so that I can have some super fast precise location results.

The application is supposed to be passive, the notification icon won't be visible unless the GPS is in use actively by an application (eg. Google Maps)

I try to do the same thing and it runs.
I saw the error on the market and it seems a very strange error coming from a missing string resource but the string resource is well in the application because for others devices it runs well.
Could you tell me what is your device please ?
Sylvain.

Galaxy Nexus 4.0.3( http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/skankwich/?id=maguro)
The app doesn't respond to the soft key menu button, and the in app menu button makes it FC. Just tested it on my Nexus One thats also on 4.0.3, and exactly the same happens there.

I try to regenerate the entire gen resources directory and to change the way where the string resource is getted from the menu.
Could you try again with the updated version of Live Weather Lite please ?
I'm going to try more tests on Android 4.0 as soon as possible if the problem persists.
Sylvain.

OK. So, I found the problem.
I fixed it and I updated the LiveWeather Lite application on Android Market.
Now, It will run for Android 4.0 also. I wait your confirmation of that on your device to validate my solution .
Thanks for your help !

Works now

A little detail about the LiveWeather Lite Action bar. It's a custom Action bar that emulates Ice Cream Sandwich Action bar for older versions of Android.
So for the moment, there is no connexion between hardware Android menu button and that Action bar.

[APP] [2.2+] Should I Wear Pants?

"Should I Wear Pants?" is a novelty weather app that takes your location, gender, and temperature preferences, retrieves your local weather, and lays out for you what to wear.
In addition to the novelty, it really does save me time in the morning - I was surprised, we conceived it as just a fun little novelty thing. Previously, I'd go to the office, turn on my computer, go online to look up the weather, and infer what to wear; now, I no longer need to even enter my office in the morning. I suppose this is mitigated if you have a decent weather app already, but I never really found one I liked that much. Those also don't tell you what to wear
We tried to make the default temperature preferences sane, but they're easy to adjust.
Link:
Free version
Basic features:
Jacket versus T-shirt
Pants versus shorts
Temperature preferences for all available slots
Temperature units preference - Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
Optionally, fun holiday outfits on major holidays (US holidays, that is - for those outside the US, we're open to adding outfits for your holidays, we just don't have them yet)
Premium features (in addition to everything in the free version):
Sunglasses
Hat
Gloves
Umbrella
Shoes versus flip-flops
Swagger mode - this, like Swagger Mode in AOKP, is a surprise
"I wear my sunglasses at night" mode - this is fairly self-explanatory
This isn't exactly a feature, but the premium version also doesn't have advertisements; the free version does
Upcoming features (in approximately the order we're going to do them):
Solar position during the day - a graphical indicator of the sun's position
Long-sleeve shirts - these would be used at some point between T shirts and jackets; possibly have a setting to control what point that would be
A dew point setting for flip-flops - nobody likes walking around in cold, wet grass with open footwear
A setting to weight the average we take between the low and high temperatures for the Today and Tomorrow tabs
Some live wallpapers with weather and/or wardrobe information
Home screen widgets - one per "slot" from the main screen

Changelog:
1.5.0 - 2012-12-20
Both versions
Added the capability for users to specify their location. To do this:
Open the preferences screen
Under "ABOUT YOU", uncheck "Use Current Location"
The "Location" option will be made available - open this to set your location.
Refer to the Help topic called "Specifying Your Location" for more information on supported formats, etc.
Added Christmas outfits; these will run from the 23rd to the 27th if you're in Calendar Fun mode.
Fixed a number of small issues with location and weather detection.
This was made possible by some new automated testing; we now have approximately 275 cities around the world verified as working and accurate, while ensuring no regressions occurred for the common case when fixing the edge cases.
Note that this doesn't cover the entire world; thus far, we have the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand covered. We are working to add coverage to the rest of the world.
1.4.0 - 2012-12-03
Both versions
Added a new system for reporting to the user when problems occur. This will make it significantly more clear what's happening when something goes wrong, and adds an easy way to E-mail a problem report to us.
1.3.5 - 2012-11-27
Both versions
Fixed an issue in holiday calculation that was causing the entire month after a given holiday to still be considered that holiday. This was presenting itself with the rest of November after Thanksgiving still displaying holiday clothing when Calendar Fun mode was on.
Fixed an issue with icon sizing causing the full 512x512 icon to be displayed in certain positions, in certain ROMs. In particular, we noticed it when a lock-screen shortcut to the app was created in CM10.
1.3.4 - 2012-11-22
Both versions
Updated the "Geocoder fail " error message to be a bit more descriptive and helpful.
1.3.3 - 2012-11-18
Both versions
Added an American Thanksgiving outfit; this includes a T shirt with a roast turkey on it, and will be shown on Thanksgiving and the preceding day
Extended Halloween outfits to also include the preceding day
Premium version
The Thanksgiving outfit also includes oven mitts in place of gloves, a colonial pilgrim-style hat for men, and a colonial style bonnet for women
1.3.2 - 2012-11-12
Both versions
Changed the landscape layout to make better use of all the horizontal screen real estate
1.3.1 - 2012-11-07
Both versions
Finally put the empty wardrobe issue to bed for good, we hope.
Free version
Fixed an issue causing free-version-capable slots to be marked as premium-only for approximately half of users (by our estimate).
1.3.0 - 2012-11-06
Both versions
Fixed yet another issue that was causing empty wardrobes, in particular on screen orientation change.
Laid the scaffolding for the sun position feature.
1.2.2 - 2012-11-02
Both versions
Fixed another issue that was causing empty wardrobes.
1.2.1 - 2012-10-30
Premium version
Added an individual temperature setting for hats; previously, the hat was enabled any time the jacket was enabled.
1.2.0 - 2012-10-29
Both versions
Fixed an issue causing empty wardrobes.
Added "Calendar Fun" mode - this gives fun outfits on holidays.
Free version
On Halloween, the T shirt will have a skeleton on it.
Premium version
The Halloween outfit also consists of a jack-o-lantern bucket in place of the umbrella, a pumpkin beanie for men, and a witch's hat for women.
1.1.2 - 2012-10-27
Both versions
Added an option to set preferred temperature units - Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
Added the "Special thanks" page to the help section.
Premium version
Added Swagger mode.
Added "I wear my sunglasses at night" mode.
1.1.1 - 2012-10-25
Both versions
Fixed some minor issues around interface scaling.
1.1.0 - 2012-10-24
Both versions
Added a help section to explain and work around common issues.
1.0 - 2012-10-22
Initial app release

Space reserved for future use

Space reserved for future use

Love this app!
Great job! I must say that I've been using this app since it came out on the Play store, and it's been great. I used to check weather.com every morning, and I would have to check the daily forecast and click through three pages of "hourly" weather predictions in order to figure out two things: (1) did I need to wear pants, and (2) should I wear a jacket--when I rode my bike in to work in the morning.
Now, when I wake up, I just open up Should I Wear Pants?, check "Now" and "Today", and wear what it says. I've already customized it for my style, and now that it's getting colder out, it's been critical to know when to man-up and drive in, and when to put on my gloves and ride my bike.

Useful and fun app
I was one of the first to download this app and I must say that it is very useful. I always use to go on websites on my computer or use some other apps (none of which I really liked) to get the weather for the day and still I had to figure out what to wear. This app not only pulls the weather for the location you currently are, it also (thanks to preferences and customization within the app) suggests to you what to wear.
When I frist got it, there were a few bugs, but since the original download, I have downloaded a few new updates (some with pretty fun features such as holidy mode, and swagger mode) that have fixed any bugs that I encountered.
I would overall rate the app a 5/5 for its purpose and the fun things you can do with it as well.
P.S. Listen to what the app tells you if you have your preferences right. I was recently in Atlanta which is a bit warmer than where I am from (the North East) and I wore jeans one day which is not what the app told me to wear based on my suggestions. Lets just say I was sweating a tad bit that dat. The app really works and is helpful.
Definitely reccommended!

Brilliant.

Just pushed an update that significantly improves the layout in landscape orientation. Feedback welcome!

Just pushed an update that adds American Thanksgiving outfits. These will be run on Thanksgiving and the preceding Wednesday. The outfits include roast turkey designs on the T shirts, oven mitts in place of the gloves, colonial pilgrim style hats for men, and colonial style bonnets for women.
Enjoy, and as always, feedback welcome!

This is just like Swackett! I loved that on my Mac. THANKS.

Damn, and here I thought our idea was unique =p
Glad you like it, thanks for the comment

I just saw the description and ran straight for the paid one! Amazing idea! Can`t wait to play with it.
One thing I can tell is missing right away, though.. WIDGET! Please make a widget for this. it`d be awesome to switch to my weather page, and see what I should wear right away without needing an app

That's one of the next things we're releasing I don't think it's going to make it into the 1.4 release, which is going to have a significant overhaul of the settings and an addition of several other items of clothing to each slot. I'm in the process of learning how to make home screen widgets, though - we're currently thinking one widget per slot.
If you have a weather page, though, one widget per slot probably won't work - in fact I'd imagine every slot wouldn't even fit on one dedicated page. I hadn't considered this use case - I'm thinking we'll also make a large widget that contains the whole thing.

Pushed an update yesterday that makes the "Geocoder fail " error message a bit more clear. People who have gotten this error message - please check out our help screen under the "Geocoder" section.

This app goes great with the Should I Change My Underwear app!

Pushed an update yesterday that fixes a problem with our holiday calculation - basically, every day of November that occurred after Thanksgiving was still considered Thanksgiving for the purpose of the outfit. We also fixed icon sizing - I noticed that our 512x512 icon was being displayed at full size when I put it in a lock-screen shortcut in CM10.

Just pushed yet another update - this one adds a new system for reporting problems to you when something bad happens. This will make it significantly more clear what's going wrong when problems occur - it makes it easier to fix problems yourself, while at the same time providing a very easy way to E-mail a report of the problem(s) to us for assistance.
Edit: Also, we would really love some feedback on this! And in addition, if anybody in this thread is someone who 1-starred the app because things weren't working, I implore you to re-evaluate the app now that we've (A) solved the major issues and (B) provided this great new error reporting system.

Hi,
it says application not compatible on the playstore.

What rom do you use?
I believe it's a common bug with devices working on CM based roms that users can't download it from GP, but it work fine if it's installed from an apk file.
http://www.speedyshare.com/WWCZ6/Barometr.apk you can download it here.

I'm currently using stunner 2 which is a cm10.1 ROM.
Thank you for the link.

Translating strings and arrays in res.zip:
All who help with translations will be acknowledged in the app. The res/values directory contains the files strings_localizable.xml and arrays_localizable.xml with the English (US) words and phrases that would need to translated. As an example here is how the translation to Brazilian Portuguese worked:
Step 1) Copy the strings_localizable.xml and arrays_localizable.xml files from res/values to another location.
Step 2) Complete the translation of the words and phrases inside the xml tags.
Example 1:
<string name="app_name">Weather Station</string>
becomes
<string name="app_name">Estação Meteorológica</string>
Example 2:
<string-array name="pref_notifications_when_entries">
<item>Rising</item>
<item>Falling</item>
</string-array>
becomes
<string-array name="pref_notifications_when_entries">
<item>Subindo</item>
<item>Caindo</item>
</string-array>
Step 3) The translated files are placed into a new directory inside the res directory called values-pt (or values-pt-rBR). I can take care of this last step I just need to know what language it is and if it is limited to a regional dialect.

Works in other devices?

Dude, read the ops first sentence...
Sent from my SGSIII

That's cool. I'm going to give it a go.

works good on i9500, loving it , gr8 work!!!

why always with the crappy "auto start" on phone boot?

The pressure will work on any device that has a barometer (e.g. Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, etc). The temp and humidity will only work on a Galaxy S4 b/c it is the only device right now with a ambient thermometer and hygrometer.

As I explain in the Google Play listing, the auto start permission is to run a very short service to re-set the alarm so background readings can be taken. The service only runs for a split second and then kills itself. If you disable background readings the service won't run on restart.

I am very interested in knowing how accurate the temperate sensor is working on the S4. Can someone test this out with a dedicated temperature reader and tell me how accurate it is or how off it is in Fahrenheit? Thanks.

if u can add a temp warning notification , then it will be perfect...
like i am able to set it to warn if the temp goes over xx degree..

Oh thanks mate! I got these readings, first is in my home and second is from outside. That second is littlebit weird because internet shows that there is only +4 celsius.

How long were you outside for? Perhaps the phone needed to stay outside longer in order to read the temperature correctly (away from other heat sources like yourself or the sun)?? Or worst case scenario is that the S4 temp sensor is not that accurate (we would need to find some specs on the sensors that Samsung is using).

Adjust Temperature
Is there any way to calibrate the temp sensor.?
Currently most readying are way higher than actual readings

I spent half an hour trying to find out why the thank you button is not available for me but couldn't find out why.
Thank You.Vry nice app.

About 10minutes. Maybe i need to try later, but usually i'm outside only 5-10minutes when i walk to train station or to grocery shop.

This was debated by me when I was making the app and I decided not to include it (but may put it in a future release if it is greatly demanded). The logic is that the temperature sensors are supposed to be calibrated to high accuracy at the factory and should not lose accuracy over time. Thus the "actual reading" you are referring to IS the actual reading that the thermometer on the phone is reporting. If it is higher than another thermometer nearby, it is higher for a reason (probably because of your body temperature heating the sensor, or the sun, or some other reason). The question is why fudge that?

i guess your mobile must be in your pocket.. try expose it to the weather..

This will be in the next release.

I've noticed that the temperature on the S4 is always higher. The reason is probably that the S4 is a heat source in itself! Unless the temperature sensor is incredibly well insulated from the rest of the phone then it will always be affected. I might test this and take a reading but only after having left the phone off for some time like 30 minutes (to let it cool sufficiently) then switch it on and take the reading before too much heat has built up in the device.
