[4.4+]KitKat Screen Recorder

This little app allows you to utilise the native screen recording system in Android 4.4.
It allows you to enter the file path to record to and how long to record for, and then starts recording.
It hasn't worked for me without root, however you may have more luck
You can upgrade to the full version via an in app purchase - the full version allows you to modify/provide all parameters, and set the time limit to the max of 3 minutes instead of 2 on the free version.

[ROM][CM11][grouper] OpenPDroid-patched CyanogenMod 11 builds for Nexus 7 2012 Wi-Fi

Main thread: OpenPDroid patches for CyanogenMod 11
WARNING: OpenPDroid is not compatible with ART for now. disable ART before flashing. enabling ART will cause the device to fail to boot. if you enabled ART and are unable to boot, flash official CyanogenMod temporarily to be able to fix (will cause privacy leaks). or if you have ADB access in android or recovery, you can disable ART by using setprop or editing a file.
these are grouper builds of CyanogenMod 11 patched with OpenPDroid. find them here.
update: releases will now be distributed as overlays to the official CyanogenMod snapshots. first flash the official "M" snapshot corresponding to the OpenPDroid overlay you want to flash, then flash the overlay.
update: device-specific builds are being phased out in favor of the generic overlays. please refer to this post.
note: OpenPDroid does not affect the recovery nor the kernel, you can use whatever you want.
CM11-M6 broke OpenPDroid patches, so i forked OpenPDroid to restore compatibility, fix several bugs and clean up the code. sources are here.

Quick question do you have a recommended GApps package? Or do you have replacement( open source app market, besides fdroid)?
---------- Post added at 04:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 AM ----------
? ? So far very nice! This things SMMMOOOOTHH!
I haven't added anything as far as apks yet. Just testing everything out. Rotation, from portrait to landscape and back again while loading browser on resource intensive page, was super responsive. And as far as initial boot up after install, WOW - fastest I've seen.
This works very well inside MultiROM Manager. I'm using 3.1.10 M-Kernel a69 dirty. @Lanchon Really looking foward to what updates you have for this. ??

Camera and video are the best quality so far on any N7 ROM, most others are very grainy. I've installed ShowBox v2.3 (movies,shows) and haven't had any freeze ups. TuneIn Radio plays smooth. YouTube through the browser works great also.
Getting ready to stress the system with some apps for the next couple of days.
No complaints yet.☺

i dont know about gapps really.
hey thanks for the comments, but im afraid this rom doesnt have any performance improvements over official CM11 M9. in fact, it should be slower due to OPD: it introduces db lookups during many API calls. i suggest you try official M9 unless you are using PDroid Manager.

update: releases will now be distributed as overlays to the official CyanogenMod snapshots. first flash the official "M" snapshot corresponding to the OpenPDroid overlay you want to flash, then flash the overlay. full rom releases are unsupported as of now.

UPDATE: OpenPDroid support for CM11 M10 for all devices has been released!
PLEASE NOTE: device-specific builds are being phased out in favor of the generic overlays. please refer to this post.
enjoy!

UPDATE: OpenPDroid is now compatible with ART!
get the new generic overlays here. enjoy!

UPDATE: CM11 M11 OpenPDroid overlays for all devices released!

[App][5.0+] MuPDF Material Design (open source)

Hi!
What's the best open source PDF-reader? - MuPDF
What's the the problem with MuPDF? - The design.
Because of that I decided to fork MuPDF and give it a material design. I used the most recent stable release (1.9a git build). I used the compiled version from here.
I changed to material theme and removed the print and the text reflow function, because they didn't work for me. The rest is working fine.
The app is, as you know, complete open source. So here is the source code of my fork.

Do you know why I have an update from F-Droid as soon as I install your version?

It's because I used a prebuild version (link in op). But I think the 1.9a git build is identical to the 1.9 version.

I don't know if you follow the F-Droid updates but MuPDF has been updated to v1.10.
Merry Christmas buddy :highfive:

Nice! Pls make icon material and update it to fdroid version

Thanks a lot. I've merged it. Because an update - I will look on it in few days... (after the christmas days...)
Have nice days in the meantime.
Regards
Gaukler Faun

Since now I wasn't successful of compiling MuPdf from source. The source I use (see OP) wasn't updated also. I will upload a version with the new icon here in the next days.

Update v2
As promised: in the second post is the new apk with the new app icon.
I didn't found a way to compile the actual MuPDF version. So I think in the next time, there will be no update.

MUPDF: Can not add comment on scanned PDF
Can not add comment over scanned PDF.
1. PDF will be scanned (not OCRed or else)
2. I want to add comment(add/edit text, change added text color) as displayed on screenshots over scanned PDF at anywhere. After added text, I can also edit or remove text from text.
Currently I am unable to add comment on scanned pdf using MuPDF.
Please let me know.
thank you.

[App][4.1+][CAF] Chromium for Snapdragon

CAF no longer updates the source so this project is in limbo. If CAF ever starts updating again, I will post new builds.
This is a Chromium Browser built on the CodeAurora source (optimized for Snapdragon devices).
Main changes from source:
-added extra webrefiner (adblock) lists
-changed icon / branding / colouring
Notes:
This browser has no Google Sync. See this link for more information: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...owsers-android-citing-security-vulnerability/
If you have root and want to have sync, see this link: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...-with-third-party-chrome-browsers-on-android/
Stable: m59
Changelog: https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src/log/?h=m59
Download: m59.0.3071.125
Beta: m60
Changelog: https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src/log/?h=m60
Download: m60.0.3112.78
Install Instructions:
Enable "Install from Unknown Sources"
Navigate to Settings -> Apps -> Chromium (or Chromium Beta) -> Permissions -> Enable any permissions required
I was maintaining this build for myself but I've had a lot of requests so decided to release it publicly. I will be posting new builds as CAF source gets updated, along with any branch changes.
I am not responsible for any damage this app may cause to your device!
Thanks to @danieldmm and @arter97 for help.

Yep, I'll add it in the next build. CAF should be promoting m58 to stable and m59 to beta in the next few days.

m59 is out, build coming later today.

Nice work.
Can you add fullscreen mode to your builds?

As soon as I'm finished upgrading my build VM I'll give it a go (m59 requires 14.04).

2017-05-03
Updated m58 to Stable
Compiled m59 to Beta
Tonight I will try merging the fullscreen / DuckDuckGo patches and see what happens

I've updated the links for m58 and m59 with new builds, fixing a few things. I've added DuckDuckGo as an option for search engine, but could not get the fullscreen patch to work without it constantly crashing (the code seems to be for an older version of Chrome).
[Edit]: If you try and change the search engine through settings, you may get a crash, but when you go back into it again it should work the second time. Trying to isolate why this is happening.

Nice work! Love using it, please keep going

@lexcyn, your build is awesome. Faster than Tuga in every benchmark and rock solid. Is it very complicated to add the pie control the same way the venerable old AOSP vanilla browser did? There is an Xposed module for that, ChromePIE, but having it included in the browser code as an option would be awesome and fully compatible with Nougat. The sources are here: https://github.com/JayT5/ChromePie. It was originally ripped from the code of the AOSP browser.
Nice build!!!

AWESOME!!!
:highfive:
By the way, the sources of the original AOSP browser (deprecated by google after Jelly Bean) are here https://github.com/ShinyROM/android_platform_packages_apps_browser . The java class PieControl is located inside the src/com/android/browser folder. Also available from the Google Git. This could ease the implementation in your browser. It would be unique with this feature !!!!
The AOSP browser was my favorite, faster and lighter than Chrome. However changes in the webview made it incompatible with Lollipop.

Tons of changes (see changelog link in first post), uplevelled to m59.0.3071.49

2017-05-19
Merged latest patches as seen in source log. Not much going on here!
I looked into the pie controls but the code from the AOSP browser is REALLY old and some of the things it needs to run don't even exist any more... it would mean re-writing a lot of code for the newer V8 engine, which is beyond me sadly.

Chromium Browser [Updated weekly]

Hello, here's the open source Chromium web browser. Can't find it in the play store due to it having nightly updates/builds. I will try my best to give a weekly updated build. Thanks and enjoy. Don't forget to hit the thanks[emoji106] button.
BIG THANKS TO @andDevW FOR THE APP THAT COMPILES IT FROM THE SOURCE AND TURNS IT INTO AN APK.
Chromium.apk 5/5/18 Download Link

Thanks for the shout-out.
Here's the direct link to my latest release APK: https://anddevw.com/assets/apk/getchromium/app-release.apk
The app is entirely open source so you can verify everything that it does and if you have any questions or issues, you can get help here.
Building Chromium from source requires more memory (8GB) than any current production Android device has, so I went with downloading the official Chromium Team release from Google's repository and unpacking and installing it. You can do the exact same process manually (if you have a good file manager like Amaze) by downloading the official latest build of Chromium for Android here https://download-chromium.appspot.com/dl/Android?type=snapshots, unzipping it and installing ChromePublic.apk.
I designed getChromium with developers and Debian users in mind, so updating is a deliberate user-initiated process, generally followed by revisiting chrome://flags and enabling new experimental features that weren't available in the previous build. There's no point in automating that, and anyone unfamiliar with this type of manual updating and enabling flags would probably be better served by *Google's Chrome Canary.
*For the record, Google released Chrome Canary for Android 6 months after I released getChromium.

can you please take a look at this Brave Browser issue especially the commit that fixes it , https://github.com/brave/browser-android-tabs/issues/167
it's literally identical to the one that affects Bromite where it request permissions on every boot up.
For those of you who have MyAndroidTools app on your phone, 1)open it 2)click on Services 3) click Third Party 4) Click Bromite 5) Disable ChromeBrowserSyncAdaptiveService and ChromeGcmListenerService 6)open your terminal emulator and type Reboot so as to skip the shutdown animation.
Enjoy without the nag for account permission ??
