FAQ ? WIP

Looks phenomenal mate!
I have yet to put any time in the app beyond the initial few minutes to check it out but I am confused about few things:
1) I see duplicates of app on all screens. See attached pics.
Might have something to do with the fact that I have selected all the repos?
2) Sync log - What exactly does that mean that the following failed: 06, 12, 22, 23? They are always failing. Tried to sync from multiple networks.
Is there an retry attempt happening? Where can I find the reason for failure?
3) Any way to make the sync notification to show progress like how it is happening for F-Droid now + Can we make it go away after sync has finished?
4) Suggestion: Make it possible to see somewhere from what repo the app is displayed.
Thanks for the hard work.

Suggestion:
Add "Pull down to refresh / sync", so that we no need to sync everytime by going into the setting.

I think I love you... The Fdroid app is ass, and the alternative apps aren't much better.

Works great so far. Only thing, it would be nice if you could copy/paste a repos info.
Most of them have the url and fingerprint together. The F-droid app works that way.
Thanks and keep up the fantastic work.

In upcoming updates will be disponible to login with the google account with 2fa?

There is an option to do so, go to repolist & at the bottom click on 'Add Repository' you can either add repos manually or scan Qr to add.
You can also share repos, long press on repolist its to view info and share option.
Will write FAQs with such details soon.

I'm not sure why you would require logins in Aurora Droid.
And in case you are asking about Aurora Store, you can login with 2FA enabled account, you just need to generate app passwords and use the generated password to login.

Thank you, I appritiate your time.
I want to share 2 of my latest findings with you:
1) Search results do not display all of the possible results - I was searching for a specific manga app that I downloaded from F-Droid but I couldn't find it via Aurora Droid.
From what I can see it is because you do not search within the app's description for matching keywords while f-droid does.
I've attached few pictures for reference.
2) Icon loading times when browsing / searching are extremely high - Sometimes they will not be loaded at all.
Entering the apps displays the icon instantly.
:good:

Amazing app! Can I disable the view of apps from Google Play? I want find only from F-Droid ones.

Great app, more like what F-droid *should* be.
Couple of things tho:
>>When sorting by 'Date' it's from oldest to newest—lots of scrolling to see newest entries in categories.
>>Some app showing 'Incompatible App' even though they are not. Able to d/l and install from F-droid, but blocked from doing so in Aurora Droid.
Love this thing, keep up the good work. And, Thanks!

#Update : New build is up

Cool! The 'Incompatible App' issue is fixed for me, but still >>When sorting by 'Date' it's from oldest to newest. Not really a big deal, though.
Thanks again

Fixed ! Wait for next release

Search function is still not up to par with official client.
Dunno what the reason this time. Attaching pics with the search term of "manga".
Thanks again for the app, it's a very cool one

Refreshing applications lists oesn't seems to update the repo applications.
So, in order for a application update to appear in the update section, you need to manually resync the repos. Well, It's he case atleast for me, would maybe be better to replace what the refresh action to directly resync the repos if it doen't already do that.
Issues aside, Aurora droid is as good as Aurora Store, very happy by both overall applications, and really appreciate its design (which has support for AMOLED screen which is a plus for me)

Real SVN Client for android (OASVN)

The first functional SVN (Subversion) client for Android that correctly uses the SVN protocol! Works for http:// https:// and svn:// repositories! svn+ssh:// (and private key) has been added, please email me with input on it.
OASVN is a free and Open Source software licensed under the Lesser GPL. This Professional version receives bug fixes and general stability updates that the free version does not get and helps support development of OASVN. I will be adding additional nice features to the pro version only, but I want to keep the free version fully functional as an subversion client.
Major changes in this version include
• svn+ssh:// + private key support
• a local and repository browser with many features
• Conflict detection and resolution!
• Working copies can now be saved anywhere in the filesystem.
Google Play Market link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.valleytg.oasvnlite.android

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This version of OASVN supports the following SVN operations:
• Checkout (Head or Choose Revision)
• Update
• Commit
• Add (files added to the working copy directory are automatically added on commit
• Export (allows complete export from the remote repo or just exporting just one file from either the working copy or the remote repository).
• Cleanup
• Revert
• Conflict Resolution!!!! (Notification of conflicts happens during update and conflicted files are marked in the local browser, clicking on the file in the local browser presents resolution options
Additional features:
• Remote Repository browse allows the ability to export any single file to your local file system
• Remote Revision list with complete details of files added/deleted/modified, author, commit comments, date, etc.
• Log keeps track of all successes and failures on a connection basis and retains information until you clear it out.
• Local Repository browsing allows you to export from your local copy, open files via intent by mime type (should present your with the correct application choices for the job, it is up to the application to respect opening the file by URI) and also shows svn status of files in conflict, or locally updated.
• New svn+ssh code with private key support! (again this is not well tested, I would appreciate feedback using the jira: http://www.valleytg.com/jira
• Now allows you to save working copies and exports anywhere on the local file-system. (the predetermined /mnt/sdcard/OASVN has been removed)
Major Contributors to the project include: (Thank You!)
Tim Jagenberg : svn+ssh with private key
Sascha Zieger (qxontic): local browser and export ability
Also there is English and German language support. Currently looking for help with French, Japanese and Russian translations, if you can help, there is more information at these links:
French : http://www.valleytg.com:8090/browse/OASVN-35
Russian : http://www.valleytg.com:8090/browse/OASVN-15
Japanese : http://www.valleytg.com:8090/browse/OASVN-14
Translations in any language welcome!
We have taken every precaution to ensure this works correctly, but please make sure to back up your repositories regularly!

Note: svn+ssl is still experimental. I have received some positive feedback but I do not have access to do in-depth testing yet on this protocol, please send me any feedback using the Jira, my email or website.
I found that interesting. You might want to expand on the features, and add some screenshots here.
For those interested, this is the direct Google Play link.
OASVN
Sure... Thanks for the input.
See first post with update screen shots.
I usually use it like this...
open oasvn
add repos / checkout
all checked out files will go to your mountable storage (most of the time /mnt/sdcard/OASVN or OASVNlite
Once the checkout is complete I open AIDE and use the file browser to navigate to the directory where the checkout took place.. If you use eclipse for your projects you can just click on the project to open it in AIDE..
Do your changes and testing..
Go back to oasvn and commit.
Done. (until next change )
I did a minor update to add a scroll view to one of the activities..
Also currently svn+ssl is not working (regular svn:// http:// and https:// all should) But I am working on adding it...
Version 1.0.3
Did a pretty big update... changes:
* A lot of enhancements intended to make it smoother to use.
* Added the ability to add comments to the commit! (PRO version only)
* Spinning Dialog when performing network action (checkin / checkout)
* Better visual feedback on what is going on
* Fixed a couple of bugs dealing with GUI changes from the threads..
* svn+ssh:\\ support is now experimental.
* Added full local path to the GUI
new version
Newest changelog.
Lots of bug fixes (think i have them all), some enhancements:
- improved svn+ssh:// (still experimental)
- stopped rotation of screen from crashing network activity
- screen will stay awake while doing network activity (sleeping was causing failure)
- Add repo form does validation
- checks local folder names to avoid collisions
I've been using this application and I congratulate you, it's really useful!
I just want to ask for some functionality, when you have the time you could implement some way to check the repository history - all the commits and comments associated with them.
I believe most android users just need an app to check for updates in their repository rather than checkout the project on the device.
Thank you again, the app is really good.

Thank you very much... I have just committed code that will handle a local log of what is going on. And I agree with your point about seeing what the status / history is of the remote repository. I will make this a priority, it is right in line with what I have planned..
Thanks again..
I'm trying the application pro version and it's a great idea., something that i was really missing in Android.
I'm finding a major issue, i'm able to checkout the porject but when i try to commit any change (just a new file created) i'm getting an error (-1 field in the screen) and the revision field is reset to -1, i don't detect any communication attempt in httpserver logs.
I'm using https (with http the behaviour is similar) and the device is a galaxy nexus with 4.0.4

Thank you for this app! I am currently exporting my ROM to my phone, AWESOME! I might go paid soon once I play with it Only one suggestion, add a downloaded content percentage like tortoise, or an estimated time to completion. I've been downloading the ROM for well over 30 minutes lol and no idea how close to done it is Thanks again!
Thanks
I have been looking at ways to get show some sort of feedback on how far along it is... I created a jira for it you can check the progress here: http://www.valleytg.com:8090/browse/OASVN-48
I checked your r146 out and it took over 30 minutes... Exporting is alot faster for getting the full rom (more like 10 to 15 minutes), but every export takes the same amount of time. But checking out and updating, the updates are much faster. I updated from r146 to r164 in just a minute.
very interesting

[4.0+] HoloIRC - an IRC app [2.5.6] [Stable]

Hey everyone. This is my first real app for Android which I've been working on and off on for quite a while now. It's called HoloiRC and it's a lightweight IRC client. Since I will have some time over the next few weeks, I can put some effort into it and really bring it up to scratch.
Basically my motivation for creating this is simple - I felt all IRC clients fell into two categories - overloaded with features and not enough focus on design or not open source. What I've tried to do is stay on the correct side of both the items.
Things that you need to know before installing:
v2.3+ compatible - Gingerbread with Holo!
Multi-server support
Fully open source!
How to help me:
If you know how to work with Android then please feel free to fork https://github.com/tilal6991/HoloIRC and send me a pull request
Join #holoirc on Freenode to ask me questions or just for a chat
Things planned
Much more stuff

OK. I have no idea what the conflict between this and Expense Manager is. I don't have it installed but I don't understand what the conflict could possibly be...
Pretty cool irc client!
Any chance of adding the ability to join irc servers not in the default port?
Haha. Of course. That should be an easy addition so will deffo make into the next version.
As the commits on the repository indicate, a lot of progress has been made. Multi server support has been added and many many bugs have been squashed along with various other improvements. I hope to release another alpha later today.
App has been updated to v0.7.0 - see the second post for the changelog.
If you are coming from the previous version a data wipe or a full uninstall/reinstall is required since the server settings have been completely overhauled in the backend.
This looks like a nice alternative to AndChat. Any screenshots of it with a couple of open channels?
(Is there a dark theme?)

Yeah I'll put those up. Sorry not yet (although it's an option I want to add in a future version - I'll add that to the todo list )
Edit: the new shots are up - they are a lot clearer than the old ones.
Aw nice!
Well, according to the screenshot you already got me as a user. Will evaluate it with my ZNCs, thanks! Looks great so far.
Greets tilal, the client looks neat and sleek, better than the usual bloated clients on the Play Store. Was also nice from you to put the source code up - hope to see more updates soon
Just commited another slew of fixes along with the ability to delete servers - all this will be in the next version.
Any opinions on what you would like implemented next? I have ideas but not sure which would be considered the most important.
A dark theme.

Yeah it's already a WIP on my local code. TBH it's a one line change but the setting implementation may take some time. That and the fact that the cards ui for the main server list looks horribly out of place
Maybe you should improve the one line then.
OK I think I've managed to implement the switcher. It works fine but can be a bit jarring in places which I plan to work on.
I just experienced a crash. I disconnected from my ZNC by clicking Disconnect and LightIRC decided to stop working.
v1.1.0 is now on Google Play testing area. Lot of bug fixes in the release - see the first and second posts on how to get it and what changed.
I am new to the whole IRC thing, so, I was wondering how one might go about making his own channel?
My friend is making a forum for his guild in some game, he thought it'd be nifty to have a mobile chatroom for it! Rather than some java/flash chatroom on the forum.

Amazing UI! Replacing Keep from now
Anyway, could you make it more Material? Like adding FAB, removing icon from ActionBar and changing hamburger menu to new one (see app screenshot in attachment)
Looking forward to next releases and Drive backup support
Your minimal use of permissions is greatly appreciated. Ads have now been removed (I paid), and I look forward to the upcoming Box integration.
Source code
upload the source code to github please?
Great app! I've been unhappy with the overcomplicated bloat of Evernote, and the inability of Keep to back up or extract in a readable format. This is a good looking, lean and mean app, so thanks! If possible, some type of import function would make this much more useful for people like me who would like to migrate over from another note app.
Thanks for the great app. Looks very clean and functional. One question. I enabled the Dropbox sync, but can't figure out where my notes are saved. Even after I saved the note and close the app, the desktop Dropbox icon doesn't show any file activities, and I wonder if the sync is actually working.

In the coming updates, definitely! My first priority for the app is to fix its bugs and add sync options for Google Drive and Box, but I will work on features like what you suggested once I'm finished with them. I experimented with a FAB, and it looks awesome

Thank you for supporting the app! I plan to keep the most minimal amount of permissions on BrightNotes as much as possible. A lot of people want a good notetaking app that doesn't use a bunch of permissions, and I intend to fill that gap.

Thanks! I developed BrightNotes partly because of what you said, other note apps are overcomplicated.
And I would love to add an import function to BrightNotes, but I do not wish to get in trouble with the other developers. I hope you understand

The type of Dropbox Sync used by BrightNotes is different than what you would expect. The notes don't show up in your Dropbox folder, they're stored on a special place called a "Database".
The notes are there and tied to your account, just not in your typical Dropbox folder. Because they're stored on that special place, you can only view your notes through the BrightNotes app for now.
But rest assured, your notes are synced with Dropbox

The notes are tied to your Dropbox account, just not in your typical Dropbox folder. This means the notes aren't lost if you happen to uninstall the app with Dropbox enabled.

Thanks for the reply. I am a bit disappointed since I liked to access the notes from both iOS and Android devices. A Dropbox based text note app is surprisingly rare in Android side.

Blame Dropbox for that. There is currently no API available for accessing notes between different apps on different platforms
Looking forward to the Box integration.

Is there any possibility of adding an encryption option for those extra sensitive notes such as bank accounts etc?

What a nice looking and bloatfree note taking app.
My wishlist
- option for directly deleteing notes instead of having to move them trough archive and trash

Features:
pin apps/tasks/documents to access them quickly from any screen and app
jump quickly to your most recent task
or your whole tasks history
doesn't restart your tasks under Lollipop like similar apps
[ROOT] Disable the app-switch-delay
extremely customizable
smooth & cool animations
Material design
integrate your browser in PinTasking to:
easily pin your browser whenever you open a link
collect / preload links without to leave an application
quickly share or open links in another app
works with nearly all browsers

Short Youtube clips:
I'm currently working on a new app but Pintasking will still receive a lot of updates in the future!
Upcoming features & improvements:
a new mode for the browser extension (preloading on Andorid 5.0+ without root)
activities & shortcuts as home actions for the swipe pad & assist action
automatic recreation of pins after an update or reboot
auto-hiding pins in black-listed apps
more customization options like pin color
custom toasts implementation
translations
In form of independent apps:
hardware buttons remapping on Android 4.3+ (without root)
a gestures based swipe pad app with a lot of possibilities
News writers can drop me an email or PN to get temporary access to all PRO features. In order to do that I have to add the reviewer's email to my testing access list in my Developer Console.

It's possible with some limitations:
- no preloading / preopening (Quick opener mode) of webpages
- a click on Evernote, Google Docs and etc. will bring you to the latest document or screen of this app and maybe not to the document you actually pinned
- a few apps may reinitialize and lose text in input fields, scroll progress and etc. after switching to them
I'll implement a non-root mode if there're enough interested people that are okay with this limitations.
btw:
PinTasking is live on the Play Store:
wow, you added even more options!
nice update

Okay, I'll implement a non-root mode before or after the full release. May I ask you why folks with a rooted phone (?!) want it? I wonder if it's for security reasons? You can install the system helper by yourself with a root file explorer. Even system apps need a confirmation to gain root and the helper app declares only two additional permissions and shares them with PinTasking.
I am rooted but their are plenty of people who arent.
My phone is rooted, running plenty of rooted apps, and it says I am not and asks to install the helper or uninstall. Do I have to install the helper? I am on Android 5.1.1 HTC One M8.

This could help you:
1. Make sure that you haven't accidentally denied the root pop-up.
2. Restart the app and try it again.
3. It takes a while on Cyanogenmod to show up the root dialog. Tap "verify root" and wait 2-8 seconds.
I experienced the same bug once but I couldn't reproduce it and a simple application restart solved it for me. I'll look into it again.
Anyway, thanks for reporting.

hi ,
Your app PinTasking looks very interesting and practical .Thanks !
One issue i am trying to understand ................
I have Note 4 ( N910F ) rooted and on Lollipop 5.0.1
i installed your app from Play store,granted root access etc .
But i found app a bit confusing at first ( functions ..how to use etc ).
i uninstalled app ,as i wanted to see your video and then decide.
After watching video ,i was happy i understood functions better and reinstalled from Play store .
This time app was installed ,without asking again for root ( as in 1 st time when i installed )
It is working fine ,tested it rebooted etc ,but PinTasking does not show up in Superuser..?
However ,whilst typing above ,i had idea and went to PinTasking /Root helper installer and reinstalled
helper then was ask for root access etc ,( even though it was never uninstalled ,as i could see it in Titanuim )
and activated it ,and now app shows up in Superuser .
I have solved my issue ,but want to bring it to your attention.
Very impressed so far with apps.........practical /functional uses !
good luck

*** APLHA DISCLAIMER ***
Remember, this is an ALPHA, 90% of the features are either incomplete or missing. There is bugs and it will crash.

Alpha Information
As you can see, this project is currently in alpha. I have about 5-10% of the app coded, there is a lot of bugs, it will crash, and you "might" lose assignment and class data if you choose to use this for your schoolwork while it is in alpha. I am allowing an ALPHA download because I want to get early feedback and suggestions that will make this app the best of the best. If you do decide to download and install this, please leave feedback, that is all that I ask. Also, if it crashes, a bug/crash report will automatically be sent to me so I can take a look. (via Parse Crash Reports). ANY suggestions are appreciated! Feel free to leave feature requests also!

Update 7/28/15 (Sorta!)
It's been over a month since the last update, that is mainly because I chose to focus my time on other things this summer but I am getting back on this project. I am currently debating switching backends and rewriting some parts of the app. If I choose to do this (I most likely will), it will hopefully improve some stuff when it comes to logging in and stuff. The bad part of this is that it will push back the final release version to around September or October (Possibly November). But, while this is into the start of the school year, it will improve user experience and functionality all around and make for a better final app!
I do like the grading plan...that's a feature not found in other planners. Definitely get this when you can...

WooHoo! v0.0.5 is up!
Great job I am really hoping sync comes soon because that would be perfect
The concept is great I'd love to use this. Only problem... I cant finish the task, the check mark doesnt work... And class crashes the app. I know its alpha but being able to add something is the main thing that should work xD. Anyway hope you keep updating this.
Regards,
Bart
