Hey everyone,
I have made a small app to launch websites for you, its very basic.
Will post this onto DevDB later on
It will launch most of the websites that people use the most commonly
I hope all of you like it
Update time!
Changelog:
Made a toast appear at the start of the app
Made the app have the ability to search any URL you want!
Added XDA onto the app
A little housekeeping
Sooo...., why? I mean it works but just why not fire up chrome or whatever browser you use and open the website directly? Having an app that starts the browser and opens the site seems bit overkill for me

It was an app I did for fun, it was my first proper app I did from scratch, it took me a couple of days to make it fully working, its also great for people who keyboards are too small
great work

Just small bug fixes
See XDA labs for more info
Thanks,

Great news,
Another update will be available Tomorrow this will bump the version number to 2.0 I will move the 1.1update1 to the beta channel
Hey op, quick question. I'm also trying to upload my app to Labs, but I get errors every time I try to upload my apk. All the required fields are filled out. What's your process for this? Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Description
I wrote this app because I constantly forget to look at the free app of the day on the Amazon market and have missed out on a few really good apps.
Help Needed
This is version 1.0 so I expect there to be some bugs. If you have any questions,comments, or issues with the app please let me know.
I've added a good bit of info to the notification and plan to include more info with the addition of a custom layout.
How do I use it?
Once installed open Appstore Reminder from your applications. Click on the reminder time option and set what time you'd like to be notified. You can click on Test Reminder option to generate an instant reminder to see how it will look.
Clicking on the notification will dismiss the notification and open the Amazon Appstore app where you can download the app.
Thanks to everyone who test's this. I'd love to hear feedback good or bad. I plan on posting this to the market after it's been tested by all you fine folks!
UPDATE 5/24/2011
Now on the Android market as Amazon Free App Reminder. If you'd like to donate for future development please consider purchasing the Market version. This will also ensure easier updated in the future and I've got some good ideas for future enhancements.
UPDATE 5/26/2011
I've attached three new icon suggestions. Let me know your thoughts and if you like any of them. Also any modifications to these three you feel would help.
UPDATE 6/01/2011
I've attached the final three icon's for voting via poll. Let me know what you all think.
UPDATE 10/04/2011
It was taken down as requested by Amazon trademark department. They requested that the name be changed in the Market. During this time my wife had our third child and I unfortunately haven't had enough time to get back to this. Three kids under the age of the 3 and a full time job is quite the workload on it's own.
When I get home today I'll be uploading the latest version that's in the market here for everyone that needs the update. Unfortunately my big update that I was about to release right before my baby was born was lost due to some data corruption. I'm finally getting back into things and will hopefully have a newer, better, aster, more enhanced app out within the next few weeks.
Again sorry to everyone for the delay. I greatly apologize for the time it's taken me to get back into things. So the app is in the market now and I'll be uploading the latest version later tonight.
Thanks,
Cody
Change Log
Version 3
- Force closes should be fixed. With the exception of when there is no data signal
- Added options to enable/disable vibration, soundm and LED when notification is triggered
Thanks,
Cody (RaueSoft Development)
Here you can download the application
I've installed it and it seems to work rather well. It's nice that it tells you what app is available so you can decide whether or not you want to open to download, and that it provides quick access if you do want to. I'm curious though, why does this app need to access the sd card? Thanks for a great notification tool.
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App
Very nice! Good work. This is something that should be built into the appstore. I don't see any issues at all.

esoomenona,
Thank you for testing. I believe the sdcard access is coming from using minsdkversion in the manifest file. There is a bug in Android that will show that permission when installing an app out of the market. Once it's loaded on the market that permission will not be needed. You can see the screen capture below from the market.
Thanks,
Cody

sorry if this is a noob thing, but mine is downloading as a .bin file, and ASTRO says it can't open it. what am I doing wrong?
Looks good. An option to toggle the vibrate on the notification might be nice.

Thanks, nice little helpful app.
I always try to get the free apps I like but there are times I forget and feel bad later.
I hope this app will serve as a reminder.
Not sure why but the notifier didn't umm, notify me, at the set time.

This is a great idea and I've installed and will let you know if there are any bugs. Well done!

I don't personally agree that app's currently free in the App Store in "BETA" should be locked to specific users. IF you want the BEST product, you should let as many people test it as possible.
So here you go, Chameleon Launcher for EVERYONE
ROOT REQUIRED
Install Chameleon Launcher Beta via the Play Store.
Run Chameleon Activator, and click Generate
Launch Chameleon Launcher and enjoy updates via app store
Enjoy

As far as I know, there were only a few widget's. I have no access to the official binary(unpatched) but all that was changed was a single byte in the entire app.
Grep'ing the widget catalog smali shows nothing about facebook(checking facebook, fbook, face, book, etc as terms).

It's a beta, I didn't write it, just felt more people should be able to test it. Hopefully the developers will watch the feedback here as well so they know too.
I believe it is not allowed to be posted in such a manner on the Play Store, so the developer is wrong to put it up as a selective beta.

When do you get the force close? log cat?
I've only personally tested on Moto Xoom w/ OTA JB, and my Galaxy Note(CM9).
Some clipping occurs on the Note, and on the Xoom I get force closes with the widgets if I add/remove them certain ways.
It works awesome on my htc one x! But looks like its created for tablets
working very well on my touchpad
but i think its not fully release . where is other widgets ?

This would be perfect for tablet, since you dont need a dock for the phone and such. How did you get it onto your tablet (I am assuming that you did).

I designed SickSky for phones and not for tablets. The problem is if I allow it as compatible with tablets on Play, then a lot of people would not be happy with how it runs on a tablet (ie no landscape, no tablet-specific layouts etc). Anyhow it is still in beta for now.
Unfortunately the Play Store says it's incompatible with the HD2.
Says its incompatible with my Galaxy Nexus also.

It was like you just disappeared, and other than some scant tweets from your feed, felt like it's been forever.
On-topic: I take it unless otherwise, do you plan to include the ability to create additional homescreens, or is SickSky just a "single screen" deal?

From what I remember Slimbean has a non-standard DPI by default, so you will most likely get compatibility issues with a few apps on Google Play. I have however had quite a few reviews from Galaxy Nexus owners.

Not ignoring, didn't have an answer. Not sure why it isn't compatible on market. I don't have a ton of free time for SickSky.

It has been a good couple years. For now I am going to focus on building panels to suite most needs. Next up will probably be a shortcuts panel. Not impossible to add widget panels later on, but going to stay clear from that for now since I wouldn't use that myself.

That's cool. When I saw that development ceased on Zeam's Google Play page, I downloaded ADW EX Launcher (I still hold the Zeam apk files). The one feature that these two have that no one else seems to include were the ability to hold a good number of apps in their dock drawers.

id like to share this with the community, ive been using it for a long time on my android devices and have no problems. its the OGYouTube app. it is youtube with a download tab to get your favorite songs downloaded as mp3's. i dont think the mp4 download works but mp3's work perfectly.

Haha actually bigfau ive had this a loooong time,just posted it cause i keep seeing people grumble about the youtube app. And its a standalone app so no installation of a rom is needed. When i was using your rom i also installed this it removed the one you provided cause i thought it was stock until i noticed that it was the ogyoutube.
oh and and another thing @bigfau, if i recall correctly the ogyoutube you used in your roms were not able to get mp3's. only video. the one i have has both.
