I've been developing a client app for Delicious for android and its pretty close to being ready to release! Thanks to all the guys that helped me test it! If you find any issues, concerns, or have any suggestions to make it better, let me know in this thread or by opening an issue on the project site.
* UPDATE v1.0.0
Initial Market release! No real changes over 0.5.0.
Changelog
Features
Why DeliciousDroid? Aren't there other Delicious clients already in the market? Here are some of the features of DeliciousDroid:
Supports OAuth authentication (for Yahoo based accounts)
Notification of new bookmarks in inbox
Background sync for bookmarks and network contacts
Bookmarks are cached to allow offline viewing and to reduce network traffic
Accounts managed through Android's built-in account manager
New bookmarks by network contacts displayed as status updates
Bookmarks can be added in several ways:
A menu in the app
Directly from the browser via the "Share" menu
By long pressing a friend's bookmark and choosing "Add"
Bookmarks can be edited by long pressing and choosing "Edit"
Bookmark details can be viewed by long pressing and choosing "View Details"
Bookmarks can be deleted by long pressing and choosing "Delete"
Bookmark titles, tags and notes are searchable from both the global search and from within the app
Support for live folders, add a folder to your home screen that takes you straight to bookmarks within a specific tag
Code is licensed under the GPL v3 and is available on Github
Note: Requires Android 2.x (API Level 5+). Android 1.5 and 1.6 are not and will not be supported.
Known Issues
These are some of the known issues in the current build of DeliciousDroid. Feel free to open an issue on the Google code project site if you encounter a bug/issue not listed here, or have an idea for an enhancement.
Only a single Delicious account is currently supported.
Clicking inbox notification just takes you to the main app. As far as I can tell, delicious does not provide any way to get the contents of your inbox via the api. There is a feed for it, but it requires having a secret key that is used as a parameter.
Viewing the bookmark list for your network contacts only shows up to 100 bookmarks, this is a limitation of the api.
Syncing is handled by the OS and appears to happen every 24 hours. Froyo (Android 2.2) allows for setting a different sync interval, but I'd like to maintain compatibility with 2.1 for now.

Installation
DeliciousDroid is available on the Android Market. Make sure and rate it up or leave a comment if you like it!
Nice! I have *THREE* installed right now.. Two which view Delicious in two different ways, one I like the view of but it's online-only, the other I don't like the view, but it caches.. And the third to Share to Delicious.
Hopefully this one can replace all three. Having 3 is really ridiculous.
First observation; no obvious way to set up the account. No link from the application, doesn't forward you to the Accounts if it isn't set up. Just crashes. I suspect this is included in your "unelegant" mention, but wanted to say it. If there's no account set up, it should automatically send you to the Accounts settings IMO. And I think you should also make a quick link to the Account Setup page so the user can add/change, or even force a resync.
Once set up, mine synced, and I see "Network" recent but I'm seeing nothing else. Nothing in My Recent, nothing in My Tags. according to the Accounts setup, the sync is finished (It no longer says cancel sync). I tried to force it to sync again, and when I went back to the Accounts settings noticed Sync Delicious was not checked.
Maybe it didn't do this by default? It should unless you have no control over it? Once I checked this, my bookmarks showed up. Maybe I did something silly here and accidentally de-selected it.
Biggest problem so far; it seems to add random /'s onto the end of URLS!? I've got several bookmarks that won't load here, but I can load them fine on the PC. So I compared the URLs it's sending, and in my desktop it's h ttp://.....blah.html where in Android it's h ttp://....blah.html/ <-- trailing slash
So some stuff I've seen but looks like I could toss out the other 3 once they're fixed, so cheers!

Yep, that's what I meant about unelegent. I agree, it should either take you straight to the Accounts & Sync screen or at least display a message that you need to go there instead of just FC'ing. I'll try to incorporate that into the next build.

Yea, the Sync Delicious part is not checked by default, I suppose it probably should be (or at least there should be a message or something in the My Recent or My Tags screens directing you to go check it.

I'll have to look in to that. Its only adding them in the cache, so don't be worried that its corrupting all your bookmarks on the server. It'll be fixed in the next build.

I forgot to ask too, what device are you testing it on? I've only tried it in the emulator and on my heroc, so I'd be interested to see if its handling other devices/resolutions fine.
Also, are you using a legacy delicious account, or a yahoo based oauth one?
Working nice in 2.1 HTC Hero, but I found that every bookmark shows twice in both Recent and by tag views. And everytime I have to select a listview it asks me to open with Delicious or with... Music.
But working ok and plays nice with browser.

Nexus One using Enom's 2.12.3 ROM (I'm a little behind, not a ROM flashing addict) and using a legacy Delicious account.
I'm going to try Sharing from the browser later, and maybe try Yahoo, although Yahoo's password management is all screwed up on my account. I can't login to IM, but I can login to Yahoo Mail, and I can't login to some other thing.. all using the same Yahoo account. Maybe I need to change the password again, maybe it'll "sync" then.

If you uninstall/reinstall the app does it do it again? If so, can you provide me some more details about your setup? Delicious username, authentication type (delicious or yahoo), etc. You can PM me if you don't want to post it on here.

Ok, I think I know what's causing that. It should be fixed in the next build, probably tomorrow.
Uninstalled and reinstalled, repeated items are gone. BTW, using classic delicious login.
Thanks.
Great feedback so far guys, keep it comimg. I've just updated the app with fixes for everything mentioned so far, the download link is in the original post.
Changelog
Installed latest version over previous version on my i9000, Yahoo OAuth account.
All the information disappeared when I entered the app.
Tried to remove the account and retry, both sync options were ticked. No information in all 3 view options. Is there a problem retrieving? Is there anyway to force a re-sync?
edit : did an uninstall, reinstalled the latest version. working again.

Yea, while you're in the account in the accounts and sync screen hit menu, there should be a "Sync Now" option.
Thanks....totally didn't think to hit the menu button. Did as stated above, everything is fine.
Perfect. No more duplicated items so far, thank you, but still missing something. No more chosing between Delicious or Music when entering a list-view, but it still happens when selecting a single tag on second level. Might be the same issue, just different location so you didn't update that.
Thanks a lot, for this app and for this support.

Oops, yep, forgot that one. Its fixed for the next build. I've got a couple new features cooking up for it too, so stay tuned...
Tried to use Yahoo today, and it FC's on me. Looks like when it calls back from the OAuth it gets a 404, which pisses off your program.
Tradition login worked but I got nothing except "recent bookmarks".
So I uninstalled, reinstalled, put in Delicious username, synced, works now. Seems like there are issues with the upgrade?
It's also possible that it's a problem I launched it before it was finished syncing? I exited, even killed the program, re-entered, still had no bookmarks synced I could see, but it was fine after the reinstall. However after the reinstall, I waited for it to finish syncing first.. Possible a problem there?

Do you currently use delicious with that account? If you've never logged in to delicious with it then it wont work. You have to go in through the main delicious site to set up a new delicious account that gets linked to your yahoo id, it doesn't create one by default.
Another day, another update, version 0.2.1 is up. Download link on the original post.
http://code.google.com/p/deliciousdroid/wiki/Changelog
Edit: v0.2.0 had a nasty bug preventing Delicious accounts from being added, 0.2.1 fixes this.
Installed version 0.2.1 and works for my. This could be my favorite Delicious app. But on my Motorola Milestone (using Froyo), the font is so tiny, that I need magnify glasses to read it (looks like 4pt/5pt).
Haven't found an option to change the font size. Maybe this just occurs on high-res devices?

Could be, I haven't tested it on one yet. I'll get the emulator set up with the Milestone's specs and see if I can reproduce it. I'll either see if I can make a setting to change it or see if I can just detect the resolution and change it automatically.

Really? We never had any hiccups while adding exchange accounts. Can you send us the logs from your device? Open CloudMagic > Go to settings & tap on Send Diagnostic logs. We'll take it from there.

OK. I had to use another account to get into the app itself. I then tried to add my exchange account and upon failure went back to the settings screen and sent a diag message.

IMAP Account
Hi there,
I'd like to use an IMAP account where my email adress in NOT equal to the username used to login to the server.
Is this possible? I wasn't able to get it running...
Looks quite nice--possible alternative to the K9 I have been using since getting Android. I do have a pop3 account which gets fed into my own imap server. If that is not available, I might want to get to it directly.
Search capability is great but would want to integrate with other (google now) phone search options. How large is the index. Maybe the option to place it on an sdext partition would speed it up and ease your server load (not to mention security).
Great looking app! :good:
Some suggestions if I may:
Give the user a choice of email address in setting up their CloudMagic account. The first email address I added was my work account, mostly to see if your app would work with my archaic Exchange server setup (it does!), but now my CloudMagic account is tied to my work account, which is highly undesirable.
Display and sort through nested folders and subfolders in Exchange. I have a folder hierarchy in my work email that can go 5 to 6 folders deep. In CloudMagic, all the folders are listed in one long list.
Desperately needs the ability to multi-select emails for read-status toggling, archiving, moving, and deleting.
Looking forward to watching this app develop!
Is e-mail security policy optional within this app?

This. Nice work on this so far. I have no issues with my one yahoo account and my gmail account. But the ability to long press to select multiple emails is much needed.
I really hope that this app can replace Moxier Mail on my phone!
But I can't use it as long as there is no textbox in the Exchange settings where I can define manually my device type..
This is essential for my company (don't ask me why, I have no idea!)
Is it possible for you to add this little feature?
Thanks in advance :good:
I am having the exact same problem with IMAP as others have mentions - IMAP account where the username is not my email address (actually I have almost never encountered setups where that is the case).
Also it would be nice if you could make it possible to set SMTP user/password+port
Privacy concerns?
ashwinsadeep said:
* Why can't you add more than 3 accounts?
CloudMagic creates a high performance index of your emails on the cloud to offer blazing fast search on mobile. We incur high server costs, hence the restriction. Moreover 3 email accounts are good enough for most users. Having said that, we are continually working on reducing our costs and in turn pass on the benefits to you.

How is this data indexed? Is it encrypted? Single master key? Can we opt out of this indexing service? I'd prefer not having my email indexed by yet another cloud service.

The ability to add IMAP accounts which have separate username and email address is coming very soon. I admit, not having it in the first place was pretty short sighted on our part. But hey, we all learn from mistakes. Rest assured it is coming very soon.
As for seperate SMTP credentials, we are still investigating it's technical feasibility. Hopefully we can implement it in the short term.
Another important thing is to have tips during the TO: typing if using Exchange.
So if I start to write "rais" he will propose me "raistlin74" based on the Directory service and not on the received emails.
Thanks.
@ashwinsadeep
Ah. If it's like this, forget about the email I just sent to [email protected] , consisting of a question concerning local-part-only IMAP logins and a convincing, yet a little bit polemic pamphlet for the addition of this feature and the correlating opening of market ...
In other news: nice app, works - aside from the above - absolutely fine and looks just adorable!

Actually, we already have that feature. The app will auto suggest contacts for GMail, Exchange & iCloud accounts. In fact we have an awesome algorithm in place which will rank your contacts based on how often you mail them.
Is it not working for you? Please note that suggestions are based on the contacts only and not on the basis of sent mails. If you are still having any issues, just write to [email protected].
This app looks awesome. I do have one question though. Is it possible to remove "Sent using CloudMagic" from the signature? I can manually remove it from the message before sending, but that can be a nuisance, and leaving things like this can look unprofessional. I don't want to deny the developers recognition and compensation, and would be happy to pay a reasonable fee for a pro version or something along those lines that would allow me to leave this line out.

Shareboard
Multiple social network posting
Tired of opening different apps to speak your mind across the multitude of social networks you use? For such situations, a handy and compact app to share contents to multiple social networks from under one screen.
You can post status updates to Twitter, Facebook and Google+ (not fully supported : see 3rd post) simultaneously, optionally along with or without a picture. You can toggle which networks you want to post from within a simple minimalist UI.
No useless running in background.
[*]No "Google analytics mumbo jumbo" data collection.
[*]No privacy infringing usage statistics collection.
[*]No online caching/buffering of posts.
Currently Twitter and Facebook is supported and application is under active development.
Indirect Google + is added since v1.5.0 (hacky workaround against API restrictions from google)
Permissions and Privacy
The app only uses Network access permissions to connect and post to requested social networks.
External storage read permission has been added so that selecting pictures from memory card doesn't crash the app.
There is no advertisement in app.
Nothing is posted to user profiles without the user content (Basically the only function of the app is to post only when user wants it to), so you can be assured of your privacy.
Unlike other apps, there's no middle server that'd reroute your posts to multiple networks. All updates are direct from your mobile to official API.

Video review from XDA TV
http://youtu.be/3y9-xSy6BQc
Changelog
v1.5.0
• Added Google Plus sharing
v1.4.7
• Compiled with latest sdk and support library. Gingerbread users should get the full Holo ui now.
• Improved Twitter login process.
v1.4.6
• New login , web based, to solve fb login problems.
• Fixed the share intent.
v1.4.0
• Enabled the share intent. Now you can share pics/text from android share via menu.
• Fixed crash on some devices while selecting picture.
• Fixed Twitter log in bugs.
• Enabled SSL(https) enforcing to comply with Twitter API changes.
Google Plus support is added as an experimental feature since version 1.5.0.
Due to restrictions from Google, the Google + API is read only and could not be used to post content to individual timelines.
There is an API available, but that is only for posting to G+ pages (and not profiles) and it could be used only by substantially big companies (like Buffer) under permission from google.
Therefore, the sharing mechanism in Shareboard is implemented to pull up the Google+ app's sharing dialog with the contents already filled in, so you have to click the share button on g+ once more to get the job done.
Also the G+ sharing dialog will pop up as a separate task, so that you can keep it minimized and come back to shareboard while it's uploading/posting.
This is as streamlined I could make the process. After this method, I've been feeling easy to share more frequently. I hope this would similarly make G+ posting a little more easy for lot of people like me.
Please feel free to give feedback and more constructive ideas and suggestions if any.

It shouldn't be having any dependency on official fb apps. I'll look into the matter and update soon.
Update : first time you post, it'd ask for permission instead of sharing the post. Once you grant permission, press the SEND button again.

You may try one thing, completely remove fb and messngr official apps and try this login.
I'm unable to reproduce the problem. Probably something related to user's fb account
I've tried this on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, both have the exact same result.
I'm able to log into Twitter just fine, I can post messages to Twitter just fine as well.
When I attempt to login to Facebook I get a popup telling me that "ShareBoard would like to access your public profile and friend list", I click OK....nothing happens. I do not get the login script I would expect to see. I try to post a message and choose Facebook and I get a toast telling me that I need to login to Facebook first.
I do not have the fb messenger app installed, nor am I going to install it.

thanks i tried this and it worked, logged into fbook, authorised the app and posted.
On a side note - when posting I set privacy to "only me". I saw the post no problems. But there is no way to change privacy for future posts afterwards without logging out and log back in to fbook within shareboard. Or just update it on the website.
Anyway I reinstall fbook app and it still posted ok. When I logged out of fbook on shareboard and tried to log in again it wouldn't work (this is with the fbook app reinstalled).
On a different matter I got a fail from Twitter this time. See attached screen.
Anything else I can try to help?
Edit : actually I can't change privacy at all even with logging in/out of fbook. Think I will have to remove authorisation manually on the fbook website and then re-add it thru shareboard.

I have an issue where I receive no notifications for gmail. I have searched for answers already and most issues seem to be from sync or notification settings in the app. I have checked both of these and still get no notifications. It has been present on my account across a couple of phones, gmail app versions, etc. Anyone have an idea what to look at next?

1. clear your cache of Gmail.
2. If you on Android 4.0.x/ 3.x/2.x remove updates and update from the play store.
2. If you on Android 4.1.x or newer check if Show Notifications is enabled. (disabled? Just enable it. enabled? Re-enable it.)
3. Check auto-sync settings to be sure it's enabled and app settings.
4. Reboot your phone.
Have already done all of that, but did it again and still nothing.
This issue has also persisted across multiple phones.

I found this on internet, maybe it helps?
To configure notifications for sub-folders:
Select an Inbox folder (e.g. Social) from the slide-out window.
From the overflow menu (i.e. the three dots in the upper-right corner) select Label Settings
Toggle on "Label notifications" and configure to your heart's content.
Rinse, repeat with all the other folders.
To not have to put up with this nonsense:
Go to your Gmail Inbox via the web.
Click the gear icon in the upper-right and select "Configure Inbox."
Uncheck all the sub-folders and click Save.
PROFIT!!! Also, get all your mail notified like before since the Inbox will revert to the old style.
(Source)
I found that before and have played around with my label settings and I still have not been able to get it to work

Also I have 2 gmail accounts, one personal and one work. I can receive notifications from my work email but not my personal.

I may be wrong but it is likely that you can only get notification from the email account you signed in your phone during the setup of your accounts. If you have a multi-user acount set up it is likely only the principal account will get notifications. Best luck.
The account I'm receiving notifications for is not the original account I setup with

Sorry I don't have any suggestions that you haven't already tried.
However, you could get an app to read new emails directly from your gmail and give notifications. I use enotify, only because it has a notification reminder setting, but it does receive direct push from your mail account just like the gmail app is supposed to be doing.
If that app doesn't work either, I would say something is likely wrong with your gmail account beyond your fixing, and you may want to look for a gmail support page to contact them about the issue.

All phones I have used thus far offer the option to create and save contacts on the "Phone", but the Pixel's contact app makes it mandatory to link contacts to the existing Gmail account - which I am not keen on doing.
Any workaround that folks here know of?
Suggestions appreciated. Many thanks.
It's possible that a third party Contacts/Dialer app in the Play store might offer the option, but I have no experience with trying to not use Google to store my contacts and I haven't fooled with a third-party Contacts/Dialer app in years. I do agree that just as you say, I've seen the option on some phones to save contacts to the phone itself instead. Off topic but my first experience noticing this was helping someone with their HTC Evo 4G and I saw that there were at least 4-5 different places you could save a contact - way overkill in that case.
Agree, that's indeed an overkill.
Yeah, searching for reliable contacts app too. Darn it, Google. Got this baby earlier today; traded in my XZ (which, sigh, gladly offered phone storage for contacts).
Good luck! Please let us know how your search goes.

So... There's "drupe". Highly, highly promising. It allows me to create a contact under "Phone" (even offers SIM).
However, it doesn't bulk import from a vcf file and so that can be a pain (adding a few hundred contacts one-by-one). Found another bug too - encountered when trying to associate more than one number with a contact - and I've written tothe developers. Let's see.
Other contact apps, well, less said the better.And yes... Will keep updating this space.
Hope there's a workaround out there!
Tried a couple more apps.
ZenUI's Dialler and Contacts. Looks and feels all good, but no use. As in, doesn't fit my requirement. Likewise, with ExDialler.
Unsurprisingly, HTC's People app keeps crashing despite installing their Service Pack. Was hoping to get lucky trying it. Sony's apks don't even install for that matter.
Then tried an app called "Import Contacts (old)" which seemed to do the trick, only to realise it chose the Gmail account by default (despite the app description). Didn't want to try the paid version later, might reach out to the Dev to confirm before making a purchase.
BlackBerry's seemed almost perfect (allowed importing from.vcf) but it's a trial!! Need BB Hub subscription after 30 days. ?

Guess I found the near-perfect workaround, @roirraW "edor" ehT.
Install this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.mylocalaccount (it will NOT show up in the app drawer)
Go to Settings\Accounts\Add Account; click "MyLocalAccount". Then, return to the accounts screen (or list) and enter MyLocalAccount. Allow it to SYNC your contacts.
Head to the default Contacts app (in my case, Google Contacts which comes with the Pixel) and IMPORT - or CREATE - your contacts. You will then be presented with the option of choosing MyLocalAccount, an equivalent of storing your contacts in the phone storage. Select, import/create, et voila!
If there's one thing I need to remember, it is to not pull down the Contacts screen. Bl**dy thing force syncs Google contacts and the only way to remove them will be to remove and re-add the Google account. *cringe*
Anyway... Phew. For now.

Awesome for the most part! Thanks for sharing your research and mostly solution. I'll try to remember in case this comes up elsewhere, or if I ever want to do the same thing. Heck, this might be a good start to a Google Sheet (irony) I was thinking of doing for my own reference only, to record links and details of apps that provide workarounds for any problem I come across that's worth noting.
BOOgle!
Glad if this is of help to anyone. I have this OCD-esque mindset when it comes to how things in a gadget should be, micro arrangement, etc. *insert headdesk* and I think I'm not the only one (and naah, this has nothing to do with G having phone numbers, ha ha).
Oohhh, we'll definitely need a reference sheet like that one! Who knows what we'll end up recording.
My next itch: to find codes that bring up the service test menu on the Pixel.

I am a little narrow-minded about how I want my phone to work, too. I don't even care about how it looks/theming although I prefer apps to be dark. I care a lot more about how the software and hardware work.
I actually tend to keep things relatively simple, as much as possible, anymore. About the most invasive thing I do these days besides flashing TWRP/PureNexus/SuperSU and using Nova Launcher Prime and Titanium Backup is that after a fresh ROM flash, I install the last version of Google Voice v4.7.xxxxx because 5.x versions make it no longer appear as an option for voicemail in the Pixel and HTC 10's Phone app.
My "trick" is to install the last Voice v4.7, configure it and select Voice as my Voicemail provider in the phone app, then I can update it via the Play Store and the setting will stick. You can note that if you go into the phone app's voicemail settings after updating to 5.x, now it appears as if nothing is selected. There's only one option, Carrier voicemail, and it's not selected. I've done tests and this workaround works every time reliably.
Hopefully, this trick doesn't stop working and Google reinstates things so that Voice v5.x will be recognized as a Voicemail provider sooner than later.

Oh likewise! I like it when widgets on the screen complement to the front face of the handset, especially when bezels are present. As is the case with the Pixel.
Was not aware of that, I'm afraid. We don't use Google Voice here, although I have noted that trick. Might be flying down later this year and, for all you know, might end up using Google Voice!
Been aeons since I rooted/flashed, though. HTC Desire (A8181) was my first and till-date only rooted/modded device. Didn't see a need to root/flash ROMs on my Android One and Xperia XZ, and not sure if I will need to with the Pixel either. Happy to wait and observe. Not even 96 hours since purchase
But from the little I have observed, guess the software is still a bit buggy (e.g. updating/downloading from the Play Store can suddenly become long drawn). And the touchscreen can act funny (albeit rare). Oh, and just noticed - while on a call, the DND blob shows up on the notification bar, which means I won't get any email or SMS alerts. That's a first. Slowly figuring ways around.

I think there may have been a front page article on the DND issue, which I'm led to believe was by design, although I think it's a stupid idea of Google's. I know I read an article about it somewhere, anyway, within the last few weeks.

Oh, ok, will search it out. Thanks for the tip.
I simply went to Settings\Notifications and allowed Mail, Calendar, Gmail, Hangouts, Messages, Messenger and Phone to override DND.

This My local Account app is simply fantastic and does the job well. Thanks for guidance

I've tried this solution and it works. One simple question - why do I need to enable account sync option? It seems that everything works and without this option...
This MyLocalAccount option works well with any phone that does not have its own contact manager.
And does not want to sync contacts with google account.
But i do not see the option in Google Contacts app to select which contacts to display. I see an option, but the MyLocalAccount is not there.
It shows up in other dialers/contact managers, but google contacts seems to be ignoring any non-cloud options.
I can create a new contact or choose default storage as MyLocalAccount no problem. But i cannot force the displayed contacts yet. Any ideas?
Edit: at the home screen, the top right corner, you must press the icon. Then you will see dropdown menu for the different "accounts to display". And select local contacts (MyLocalAccount) or all accts. Duh.
