Hello everyone!
Samsung has launched a new suite of device optimization apps for Galaxy smartphone and tablet owners called Galaxy Labs. Like Good Lock, which lets you customize various elements of the user interface, Galaxy Labs is a container of sorts that lets you access the actual apps that let you optimize your device from a single location. There are four apps: File Guardian, Battery Tracker, Battery Guardian, and App Booster.

They seem to work on my S9+. Only Battery Tracker is crashing. Going to play with them a little bit later. If anyone wants to try, can download them from @SamMobile or my mirror from MEGA below

Battery Tracker not working!!?
Yeah, It seems to crash, I forgot to mention in the first post. But, also, with all my respect...After testing, I could say those apps, at least for the moment, are useless and can be considered bloatware.

Hello everyone!
I've just built and released pressureNET 2.0, an app that collects user-submitted barometer readings with hopes that I'll be able to use the data to improve short-term, local weather prediction and eventually give users a personalized, 30-minute-range weather forecast. While only the Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Xoom have barometers, all Android devices 3.0+ can run the app and view the map.
Currently we attempt minimal interpretation of the data since we have only about 1,200 active users. However, as we grow our user base we will overlay useful weather information on the map, such as changes in atmospheric pressure over time. This can be correlated with radar imagery to provide improved weather forecasting.
The source code for both the Android app and the server side is on our blog at cumulonimbus.ca. Thanks,
Jacob

Testing now....
I am downloading it now to check it out.
This app is pretty dang cool!! There are a lot more devices with a barometer now. Galaxy Nexus is one of them. Everyone who has a Galaxy Nexus should download this. Once it gets big enough cool things are going to happen from it I'm sure!
The OP has asked me to post the market link:

and his blog post announcing the 2.0 release:

Hi everyone,
I want to update you quickly: we are now receiving almost 500 barometer readings per hour from our users, which means we have grown massively since the launch of 1.0 and even since the 2.0 launch. For some perspective, just two weeks ago we were receiving only 80 per hour.
We really want to grow this to be a large network that will enable us to improve short term weather prediction as well as contribute to collecting global climate data. And so, pressureNET 2.0 has a whole bunch of new features:
- My Info button to show personalized statistics and your recent submission graph
- Log Viewer to see your last day’s worth of submissions
- Pressure tendencies viewable on the widget
- Export user data now available in CSV
- Multiple UI improvements and fixes, including a fully revamped widget
You can read more in the blog post and download the app from the link 0vermind posted above. Thanks!

Hi there,
I'm khashayar, the developer of Palm Note. Palm Note is a minimal note taking app built for speed. It simply takes the headache out of note taking.
Lets start with screenshots. They can probably convince you that Palm Note is worth trying
About the app
- Different note types for easily interacting with the notes. [Youtube demo]
- Real-time note syncing across all devices. [Literally happens in real-time. It is truly awesome.]
- Works great with the tools that you love. [i.e Google Maps for address notes]
- Looks great on all of your devices. [It's user-experience is great]
- Built using Cordova (phonegap) and Ionic. It works both on iOS and Android.
How to get it
- Join the Google+ community here
- Wait for me to add you to the community.
- Download the apk file.
- Sign-in using your google account.
- enjoy!

One more thing ...
Palm Note is open source (Github Organization). I haven't yet added main codebase for the app to the organization because I need to organize it first.
Please let me know what you think of the app
Btw here are the planned features for the next version of the app. http://palmnote.github.io/blog/roadmap/
Hello Guys,
After doing app re-skin for a while, i decided to stop and do some real things instead. I've started learning android programming for the last 4 months. I used Lynda.com, Team Tree House, Android Hive as learning resources and a lot (i mean a lot of) stack overflow threads! I created the app using Parse.com as BaaS (Backend as a Service) It's a great service to get your app off the group. I still don't have users to test it's performance but i hope it will do.
The app i created Called FoxyKards, It's a simple app where you can discover Life hacks, tips and tricks the easy way. Filter them by categories, places and supplies. Add to favorites and comment. There are a lot of amazing hacks on the internet some works perfectly and some didn't work at all! I built the app with one reason: to make the maximum use of these tips in your everyday life, to solve problems the smart way and to improve your life, that's why i've added the filters (categories, places,....).
In addition to the android app i created a website for it and an admin panel using Node js / express js.
I hope that you check it out, it's on the playstore and if you like it, it would be nice to see a review/feedback from you.
Playstore Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handykards.lifehacks
Website Link: http://www.foxykards.com
What i'm doing now:
I'm filtering through a large list of life hacks and adding them in daily basis.
I'm learning to market the app via social media website
App Store Search Optimization (ASO)
App indexing
What i'm planning to do next:
Learning the most from users.
Adding a really smart feature i've thinking of and the reason i started android dev. The feature is when a user check-in to a place such as restaurant, gas station, airport ... via foursquare or other service, the app push a notification with tips and tricks you can use in that place.
I'am using Parse in one of my apps! Great platform.
I've downloaded the app. Check your inbox i sent u a message!
Great start!
Hey,
This is my first major app I've produced by myself - it's called Shuffle My Life, and it generates random activities for you to do depending on where you are, what time it is, the weather conditions, and so on. For example, if you're near a park, there'll be outdoor activities. If it's after 10pm, you tend to get media-based activities like news, new music discovery, and so on.
It's currently in beta and being heavily developed, so I'm looking for feedback and ideas for where to take this in the future!
PS - here's some info about the permissions used:
Location - used to determine what places are near to you, to feed Google Places API (e.g. are you near a bakery? a restaurant? a park?) - Location is only stored on the local device, so if you delete the app, the data goes with it. You don’t need to use the app with location if you don’t want to.
File storage read/write - To be able to save images/videos you’ve taken with some tasks (this is upcoming for an expanded sharing functionality)
Find/use accounts - used for Google Play Games
WiFi connection and disconnection/network access - This can probably be removed, it was a relic from when the built in web browser needed to check if you were on WiFi before automatically loading a page (it now always prompts before loading a page).
Control vibration - For some fun feedback when completing tasks
Some ideas for the future:
- Localization and better support for other currencies
- Lots more tasks
- Some multiplayer element
- Better task submission system
I'm hoping I can take this idea and run with it, expanding it as I go - but I wanted your feedback first! Thanks for checking it out!
Oh, and the Play Store link is here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gadsby.shufflemylife
I like the idea but I think users need more info (may be more screenshots) about app.
Is it global? What about preferences? Why isn't it in Play Store?
It is in the Play Store, but I'm a new user so can't post direct links yet - I'll update it when I can!
It's not localized, if that's what you mean? The app should work anywhere in the world, though currency (I.e. the estimated time it takes to complete a task) is in dollars only at the moment. I'll add an automatic conversion at some point!
I'll add a couple more screenshots, good idea!
I just updated the app with a few fixes, including the ability to opt out of Google Play Games, faster loading times, a new splash screen, and crash bugs resolved. Any other thoughts?

Wow, that's crazy!
Last night I updated a lot - 1.7 should be a lot smoother, have a look!
3C Battery Watch, available on Play Store only, the battery monitoring tool for Wear OS smartwatches.
★ Display %, mA, mV, temperature and remaining time in one screen.
★ Tap to display historical data for each.
★ Mobile app can connect to wear app to show full historical data.
Beta 0.3
In this beta, I've made both the wear and mobile app.
Both must have the same package name to be able to communicate with each other. So the mobile app cannot be the toolbox nor battery manager. At least not directly.
Here are the possibilities:
- One independent wear app for each app accessing it: toolbox or battery manager.
- Existing wear app + plugin mobile app, toolbox or battery manager communicating with plugin to access wear app (itself going through wear os app).
The mobile app currently shows the main watch screen, the estimate graph, and full history using a graphic and list view.
I'm thinking of putting estimates summary (run-time, screen-on/standby/charge) and calibration summary (capacity) into the main screen, with taps to open new screens for graphics, history, detailed estimates and detailed calibration, similarly to battery manager.
It's in beta, so any feedback is welcome.
I've downloaded and paid for the full version of the all in one toolbox you've created. Love it!
Would you know of anyway to get this working with my galaxy frontier 3 watch and note 20 ultra 5g? Would love to test this out on my Samsung devices.

The frontier 3 is tizen-based if I'm correct, so it won't work on it. I'll be looking at Tizen development to see if I can port the app to that OS.

You are correct... id likely assume me along with many others have the galaxy watch series vs. Google wear OS watches.. once you are ready, I'd more than be welcome to testing tizen based version.. as I feel the Samsung based watches goes more in depth with watches vs. Wear OS.

I have the mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 2020 and it delivers everything I need. I'm not into sports so I disabled all mobvoi specialized apps and I'm getting 3 days and half on full charge, 2 days and half before. It has google pay, talks and is perfect for my need. I'm looking into getting the ticwatch Pro 3 which has longer battery life and is faster. The pro 3 is impressive with all sports feature one can wish. My wife had the Galaxy Active 2 but sold it for a Mikael Corss watch running Wear OS, she's very happy with it. No sports addict either, so health features are of no interest to us.
On the developement side, it's way easier to develop for Wear OS than tizen where one will have to code the watch app in C/C++ and the Android app in Java. I've setup the dev environment which requires both Eclipse IDE and Android Studio IDE to be installed.
Anyway, smart watches have a long road ahead to become way better.
