Hi everybody !
After a year of lurking, i've published my first app !
It's called Tick! and it's a simple timer but i've worked hard on making it easy to launch.
Since there is no wheel selector on the sdk, I've developed one to set the number of minutes wanted. With three clicks, you can launch a timer to remaind you that your pastas or your eggs are ready !
Your comments are welcome !
Since I'm new on the forum, I'm currently not allowed to post external links, so if you want to try it, search for Tick! on the market or SlideMe. I will put images, links and QR-Code as soon as i will be allowed !

Nice app. Any plans on releasing the source
Any chance for an APK for those of us without data?
Nice
Good Work Buddy works perfectly on Xperia X10i
Thanks for the replies ! I've added the apk posted on the market.
I'm working on an improved version !
Agreed, Great work RabugenTom. Love the custom wheel selection.
Have to admit, though, I'm dying to have multiple timers. I'm not sure off the top of my head how they would fit in with your snazzy countdown timeline, but I'm sure it could be done.
+1 for release of the source
Love the app... Mightve been nice if it worked with 30sec increments as well but that might just be me, and there are other more robust timer apps for when you need that i guess.
One thing I noticed though... If the app is open and showing on the screen (IE - not in the background while working on something else or on one of the home screens), Tapping the app notification (in the notifications pane) will "reopen" the apps interface, and this can be done multiple times.
Basically you end up with multiple instances of the same timer... So if youre looking to go back to whatever was open before - home screen or other - by pressing the back button, youll just close the last instance you "opened" via the notification, taking you back to the previous instance of that same timer, and so on until you reach the first one that was opened when you started the app.
It doesnt seem to affect the functionality of the app in any way that ive seen, but it is rather odd.
Sort of like tapping the notification calls on the wrong "show" function, opening a new window rather than un-hiding the original.
Thanks for the feedbacks !
I'm working on an improved version with pause mode, multiple timers and 30s increments. I will maybe release the source later, after a lot of cleaning !
For the notifications, it's the behavior of android which works by intents. Theses are sort of messages send to applications. Intents depends on something they call Context. This is very powerful since you can launch (or do whatever you want to) an application in different ways, and the behavior of the application can depend on the intent. For example, when you launch an application from the launcher on the home screen, you actually send an intent to the application.
In the Tick! case, when you click on the notification, you send an intent to bring back to foreground (if hidden) or relaunch (if closed) the application GUI (which is different from the counting "engine" which is a background process called Service). The intent sent from the notification is different from the one you used to launch it, thats why it relaunch the GUI because the system thinks it is a different context (which is the case).
You can try it : launch from the launcher, launch a timer, go back to the home screen. Now, the GUI is no more in foreground. If you open the notification bar an click on the notification it will relaunch the GUI as expected, and if you continue to click on it again, it will do nothing (as expected). That's because the second time you launched the app, you did it by sending an intent from the notificiation bar, which is different from the one from the launcher.
Now, i don't find this behavior very annoying, and I don't want to write 100 lines of code to handle differents cases! A trivial solution may exist, but I'm too novice with Android to look at it. If someone knows this easy solution, it will be a pleasure to implement it !
Very nice timer. However I have found two problems:
1. When selecting the notification tone, "Default" plays my ringtone when previewing, but when used for real it plays the default notification sound instead.
2. I used Tick for a five minute countdown several hours ago, and afterwards I exited the program and cleared the notification, but it still prevented my phone from sleeping all these hours, draining the battery severely. I had to use a process killer to get my phone to sleep.
Do you really need to keep the phone from sleeping, even during the countdown? A timer is just an alarm with a countdown, and alarms work even when the phone is sleeping. You just have to update the progress every time the phone wakes up. Right?
Hi,
1-I will look on the notification problem. It is quite strange since it always worked for me. Note that the parameter are set for the notification at the launch of the counter. Every change you make will affect only new countdowns. When you exit the app, it always save the last parameters, even made during a countdown, and restore them at a relaunch. So it is strange, and since i've improved again the counting engine, I hope this will be solved in the coming release.
2-You're right, I've found conditions when the wake-lock is not released at the end of the countdown. It's set now. However, the wake-lock requested is partial and does only concern the CPU, not the screen. I've tested again your version on my unplugged G2 and it behave just well.
The CPU is required to fire an alarm even in sleep mode. Thats because i don't use the alarm service of the device which only check every new minute if there is something to do.
And when it's in sleep mode, only a tiny service is counting. The GUI is stopped and it's memory given back.
May I ask what model of phone you use?

I'm using an HTC Desire.
I've just added here (and on the market) the version 1.3 which resolves a lot of issues (for exemple, the service exits as soon as it's no more used, thanks to bugmenever) and adds a pause mode (long click on the button)

im fairly certain there is something simple out there to handle this, but as opposed to you being novice with android, i have 0 experience programming for it. and youre right, its not THAT annoying, and certainly not worth most your work time at this point.
Happy to hear about all those plans though! look forward to seeing them in action
keep up the good work!
!!!If you have Android 2.1 the app now is in the market!!!
Android 2.2 and higher are also still supported
This is not another Auto Task Killer, no.
Thanks for all the help from everyone! We've moved into a lite and full version now on Android 2.2 and 2.3 phones.This is a new program which allows the user to specify alert levels to phone tasks and give you insight into what your phone is really doing. Make a call, ever wonder what apps may be listening? What's going on when you phone is in standby? In creating this, I will say that I've been surprised a few times at what is really going on. I want any and all feedback as well as we are trying to make this into something special. I am the actual developer of this app.
The full version has:
-Common Names and Actual Application Icons
-No Ads
-Access to all App Settings
-Ability to change alert level from List Tasks
-Removed Internet and Location Permissions
And we have a slew of other features planned for only the full version, but we don't want to spill the beans on those quite yet, but they will enhance the tool greatly!
Both versions now have the new UI as well.
Anyone who had the beta should be notified to upgrade to the lite version now.
Download Task Identifier Lite from your phone:
market://search?q=pname:com.task.identifier
Download Task Identifier Full from your phone:
market://search?q=pname:com.task.identifier.full
I've also attached a QR Code to scan for both versions. Or just search for Task Identifier in the market.
I hope you all find this useful and enjoy!!

Hehe, I like how the only comment for the app (5 stars and "awesome" as comment) is currently by a user named 'x2k'. Hmmm.
I've just installed it and it's been less than a minute and I got an alert from an app that no longer needs to sync...So I disabled it (every little bit of non-sync means longer battery life!).
So far it's looking very promising! I'll definitely report back on my experiences!
Okay, first big thing...
Can you please resolve the cryptic app names to their more friendly name variants?
It's hard to read and make out the com.blah designations.
Thanks!
So far it seems like a cool app. I've been using WatchDog for ages to alert me when an app misbehaves.
But I'm confused about this app. When would you want to be using this? Can you give an example?
I'll keep it installed and see how it goes. Thanks.

Thanks for trying. This is more of an app to alert you as to what your phone is doing, ie what loads at a given point in time on your phone.

Thanks. I'm playing around with it and actively trying to make notifications pop up I opened Facebook and Google Reader started, as did Maps. Weird.
Which brings me to a question: how do we know whether the task started was CAUSED by the current app I'm using, or Android just randomly started it?
For example, it's possible Facebook opened Maps in order to try to get my location, but I don't see the connection between Facebook and Google Reader. Which is why I ask if it's random, or the app I'm using is causing other tasks to run.

You're welcome.
Sounds like a great troubleshooting tool. Nice work!
I'm liking this app more and more. A few more comments and requests.
Comments
* I like the main app window. Large fonts, long-press to get quick-help or short press to go to the item. Nice
* Screen off app start notification, nice!
Requests
1. Possible to get more detail about why or how an app was triggered? Like, was it triggered by a service? another app? etc. And did the triggered app take any actions? Like sending network traffic or queried the GPS and such?
2. The 'Setup Alerts' window is hard to read through, could you maybe add color so all the status 'Green' items have the word 'Green' in green font and so on?
Just added a 5 star rating on Market, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the suggestions. Those are features we truly will consider adding as it will just make the tool even better. Thanks!
There will probably be updates from time to time through the market
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
First of all, thanks for a great app.
I really like the fact that it reports on tasks/processes started while the screen was off!
I have some suggestions though:
1: When I click the icon in the app list to open the menu, it just shows the "Starting monitor" message and nothing else. I have to open an app to get the message in the pull down bar and click on that to start the application it self.
2: On my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 the layout of the application is just a bit to long for a full screen. We are talking about 1 cm or something.
3: I would very much like a log, so that I can check back, what applications started during screen off, and at what time/date.
4: The way the Android memory management works, I guess it's normal for Android to start and application/process to memory by itself from time to time. Is it possible to show this somehow? For what is interesting here is when an application is launching another application or process, and not when Android memory management is putting an application in memory.
Thanks for your great work, I'm looking forward to further updates to the application!
Just saw this on the front page and thought it looked pretty interesting. Installed a few minutes ago, but so far I like it. Not too intrusive with the pop-up.
As Namuna posted though it would be nice to get more detail.
Also to have the actual app name rather than com.xxx.
Really good work.
Installed.
I like the idea that we can see what tasks are really doing in the background. But as noted by some above, the notifications are a bit cryptic at the moment.
After installing and running the app, I started updating some of my other apps in App Market and my phone crashed. This has not happened before and I seems from my layman eyes that too many things might have been running in the background.
When the phone restarted, it too forever for anything to be displayed and the 3 widgets I had on the homescreen refused to load up. Again it seems to me that this app is popping up too many notifications - I have now stopped the app from starting up and running on start up.
I don't know whether this is unique to me or not though. I am running the app on Samsung Galaxy S (international) on stock Froyo with LauncherPro.
Still, I like this app and will use it more. Keep up the great work and many thanks.
Edit : just checked app settings again, and although I explicit unchecked app running on phone startup, the box is checked again. I unchecked the box and pressed save again. Re-entered app settings and the box is checked again. Am I missing something?
This looks very interesting.. So it's installed and ready for testing
Thank you very much for that app, it's awesome. I agree with the recent posters that the name of the app in addition to the com.blah.blubb would be a great help to identify the task. Also I'd like to see a possibility for a logfile.
Keep up the good work!
EDIT: I can hardly read the small, dark font when setting task levels since I use almost the very darkest display settings to save battery. So being able to chose the font color would be great but has absolutely no priority. Again: great app!Using it all day long now and I am surprised what tasks are being started!
______OVERVI3W_____
Now you see all calls, bookmarks, internet history, text messages and contacts through your web browser. Track down and Lock down your phone remotely and many many other features. Geo-fencing capabilities now added!
PLEASE, IF YOU LIKE THIS SOFTWARE THEN RATE IT OR ADD COMMENTS TO THE ANDROID MARKET. IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE FOUND HERE
** MAKE SURE YOU REBOOT AFTER INSTALL **
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD V1.50 DIRECTLY FROM HERE:
http://goo.gl/prtJf
PLEASE UNINSTALL THE OLDER VERSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING NEWER VERSIONS
If posting back any issues, please include your phone model, android version, phone carrier and ROM (if not stock)
****** CHANGE LOG ********
___________________________
V1.50- November 20th, 2012
* The issues with the block lists have been fixed up. You can add a block for any number 4 digits or greater and it will be found if the transmission ends with those four digits. Example: if your block is 4567 then the phone number 555-123-4567 would be found. so would 34567,234567,123457,...,5551234567
* The GPS module has been rewritten and is MUCH more efficient and accurate at the same time.
* Geo-fencing has been added so now you can define regions on a map and set rules to alert you as to if the phone entered or left those regions during stated days and times.
Keep in mind that this feature is still beta. Try to give extra ~30 feet extra room just to be sure you don't get false positives. This will do a check on every GPS check-in time to see if you have entered or left defined areas. So accuracy is only going to be as accurate as check-in time periods. In general I recommend people don't ever alter the default 15 minutes however.
* The "discreet communications" option didn't make it into this release because of time constraints, but will be available in the next release. Time-estimates will be posted when available.

Windows Mobile tester, subscribed. Email sent.
This sounds like a GREAT application!
I have a question though... Does your app NEED to have GPS enabled to track down your phone? If it does, what happens if you don't have GPS enabled? Is there a way to enable GPS remotely through the web interface?
Also, does it track the content of the sms messages? Or only the phone number?
Thanks in advance! I'm loving the features on your app already but just wish for a few questions to be answered
The app does not require GPS to be enabled. If no GPS is found, it will triangulate from cell towers. This method is not as accurate however.
I currently do not have a remote "enable gps" command, but I will look into that. It does sound like a great feature to add.
Email sent. Looking forward to a reply.

Thanks chetstriker! This is the one thing that I feel that the other (2) apps I've tried have been missing. I won't name the apps since this is your thread and all but if you DO find a way to enable gps remotely, I think that you'd be ahead of your competition. Best of luck with your app
On the Atrix it force closes when selecting the enable button after entering my password, i tried several times.
On the Captivate (no sim) I was able to enable admin. I then went to the unfairwair website and "locate" showed the phones exact location. I also tried the "turn on ringer" and was given the responce "false" twice.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll have to take a deeper look at what could cause the Attrix to FC. For the Captivate however, It's normal to see "False" on the transaction tab. All commands have a completed status of False until the command has actually launched on the phone. This could take up to 5 minutes.
You would also have to refresh the web page to see the change of status.
<< important note >>>
The "goodies" tab (the one with all the controls.) runs great on all browsers EXCEPT IE7+
typically if you press commands such as "Lock Phone", "Send Message", "Wipe Phone", etc. they should pop-up commands to ask you for more information or confirmation. Internet Explorer version 7+ has javascript alert command and others disabled by default (unlike every other browser.)
You'll have to use any other browser to use these commands, until I re-write that part.
Just sent an email, looking forward to trying out your application!

Good job mate!
I dont see anything thats flipping.. or are two sided..
For starters, check your People Hub tile. Should be flipping pictures.

Download the WPCentral app, it has a double sided tile. At least the paid version does.
The app has to be programmed to use it.
Wonder Reader does, Flixster too
Accuweather, Weather Live, or ...I'm a WP7 apps. Make sure you enable live tile setting in the apps. Also, if you pin a person or group I believe you get a flipping tile if they call or message you.

But I think my apps are not updated to mango version..
My Foursquare app version is showing 2.4 but in MP I see its 2.70 available.. i check FSQ and dont see any deep linking option.. it seems i have to manually update all my apps to mango version one by one..
I have the paid version of WLive, but i cant see my version number in 'about' menu.. i never got or saw any mango apps in MP when i had nodo..
I uninstalled samsung now app when i was in nodo and never saw it back in MP, but after mango i saw it today and installed it.. but its nothing different in livetile.. its just like it was in nodo.. version: 2.5.0.1
Create a group and pin to your homescreen. Thats a perfect example of a double sided tile. When somebody from that group sends a text/email/updates facebook ect it will show up on back side of tile.
More apps will take advantage of this feature in the next weeks/months.

You're using the Omnia 7, right? Do you have firmware 2424.11.8.2?
I have version 2.5.0.1 of the Now app and there is definitely a live tile option in the settings menu.
You can download StickyTiles from the Marketplace - it's a good way to test the double sided tiles.
Yes I have that firmware version.. I just checked...
I just created a group and its flipping.. But there is nothing mango about my now tile.. I have pinned it and can see it... But it's just a pic with today's temperature... No flips no movements... Just.a stagnant picture...
I should be getting automatically update notification for my Fsq application too.. But I didn get it.. My previous nodo apps are not updating to mango versions on its own
.. I am not getting those updates from MP ... I think maybe because I forced mango.. Mp is still thinks I am using nodo and hense no automated updates to mango versions of these apps...

Just wait a little, your app updates will show up sooner or later. They don't get pushed to the phone instantly.
Another way to check it is to pin the Me-tile and make a statusupdate to your facebook wall. The Me-tile should flip after a while and show the new status.

If you want to force update an app, go to it in Marketplace and hit back, then go back into it and you should have an update button. Marketplace has never been immediate about giving app update notifications and I'm guessing with so many people updating to Mango at once that it doens't help.
There is nothing "Mango" about the Now live tile. They do have a secondary live tile for news that you can add that has flipping.

Mine didn't get pushed at all - none of them.
I had to write down every app that I had installed, Factory Reset, and update them all one by one by searching for them and reinstalling. After updating to Mango, everything was broken. WLM/Facebook Chat, Facebook Login was Messed up. Live Tiles and Push Notifications were inoperable. Not even my Email was pushing from ActiveSync. I have to Factory Reset to get it all working.
Some apps that I had before updating, like Sound Enhancer, not tell me that it doesn't support my device. WTF? Some apps had different names for NoDo/Preloaded and Mango Versions (Slacker vs. Slacker Radio).
You can install from the web marketplace vis an SMS-trigger, as well, btw. It will trigger a background download+install.
I still haven't seen anymore updates, but I don't think there are that many apps that have been updated to Mango, TBH. At least not many that I actually use. I expected more...
HTC Connected Media says it doesn't support my device (T-MoUS HD7). There is no other update available.
Microsoft didn't even update most of their apps for Mango (Last.fm, Facebook, etc.) and nor did other popular apps like Twitter, Board Express, Birdsong, etc.
Also, my battery life is beyond terrible, now.
I must admit, the Launch phones do have the "Lipstick on a Pig" feeling with Mango on them. I think the Wave II phones will be a lot better, but not sure I'm willing to invest in another WP7 device so soon given what's coming out of competitors these days... ... There are artifacts in some transitions, etc. You can tell the hardware is already being taxed a bit, esp the GPU.
Later today when I get some time, I'm restoring back to NoDo and will just wait for an update notification. Something is definitely wrong with the "forced" updates and some apps are definitely saying that they can't install because my software may need to be updated (cause I know they aren't locked to certain carriers or regions, so that's ruled out).

Strange enough that you seem to be the only guy around here having so many different issues with the update. The only common issues seem to be some HTC apps that refuse to install or work and firmware not being updated properly. I for one have several "mangofied" apps and games already, not to mention that I haven't seen any artifacts in transitions so far. Not even in Mango Beta 1 or 2.
As I believe this is more an app problem than a device specific problem, I didn't post this in the Nexus 10 forum.
Following problem: I use the official up to date Twitter app on the Nexus 10 (4.3, not rooted). Normally I check my timeline once a day in the afternoon. When I refresh the timeline when opening the app it never seems to load all the tweets, there is a gap (attached a picture). It shows e.g. the tweets for the last 5-7 hours, but then nothing till about the day before when I checked for the last time. I don't follow a massive amounts of people, so it's not like there would be thousands of tweets.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
