Nice work. You have given me some inspiration I'm not very creative when it comes to my homescreen.
what transitions did you use for scrolling on both wallpaper and desktop?? yours seems to match perfectly.
Transitions are:
Adw: tilt

Free Skinnable Calculator!
Calculator is an application which must be in all devices, because no one knows when and where you need to calculate something. This calculator is very easy to use, it does not have any scary and complicated functions, only those that are in the usual everyday pocket calculator. In addition, you can always change the color of this calculator, if you're tired of everyday gray colors... You can for example choose the pink
The main advantages of this calculator is:
- Simplicity and ease of use.
- Stylish design.
- Ability to change skins (colors), you just need to click the menu and go to the settings.
Hope to receive feedback
Yea...
It's not very pretty. And also you market it as stylish, while it's filled with ads? ...Really?
There are enough calculators as it is, and almost all of them are prettier and more functional.
Sorry :c

Stylish with ads.. why not? if you use it offline, it will be without ads ..
And about almost of them are prettier, i don't think so..
I don't really like it.
The idea itself is nice but badly implemented. The themes are anything but stylish, the color combinations are not the best. The font you're using is ugly for a calculator.
I respect the will to monetize an app, but there are some free calculators that don't display ads. Even worst, there are nicer free calculators that don't display ads.
When I read stylish calculator I think about Holo Calc (free, no ads, clear or dark holo themes) or Calcbot (shame there is not an Android version)

Hey Nightwolf, don't worry about the criticism. Its everywhere and it happens. I can say that the app works well and does what it needs to.
But as the guy stated that there is already many calculators out there. Many with great styles, and if I have to be honest (don't get upset) the interface of yours isn't as great. The ads should be removed as well.
The app itself is fine, just re-think the layout and buttons. Match it with the current state of android layouts. So its more consistent and not just random.
Here's some tips -
Re-think the layout.
Now create the new layout replacing all the old buttons and stuff. If you need help with the designs, private message me.
Make your calculator unique.
I hope to see you around here with more apps to come. Good work and good luck!
I'll reserve my Thanks for now and wait till a better version is out.

Thanks for your feedback..
And i'm not fully understand your point about layouts Is something wrong with it? Or you mean only placement of buttons?
Use flat elements(buttons, windows. And the ui) and icons. Avoid using things with gradients. They just look bad.

This looks like a great app but obviously launcher support is very limited at the moment.

Yes, hopefully devs from launchers implement this as it is a terrific idea and adds another level of customization to these launchers. Nice work.
LEGALIZE IT.

I have finished my development for this app almost 2 to 3 months back.
I am having very difficult time to get it supported by launchers.
God only knows.

A lot of the big name launchers are pressured into redoing their launchers from launcher 2 base to the new launcher 3 base. Which in my opinion is a huge step backward, Nova just relessed his materinova like 3 weeks ago, he's still trying to appease everyone and implement all the previous features into the new build. Just bad timing for you, lol. I've already seen people ask the dev of nova to update to the android M launcher which isn't even official yet. Lol. Only thing we can do is email the devs asking to implement this request. Thanks for this cool feature, hopefully devs will implement it soon.

As an Icon Pack creator/designer, I'm wondering if people could be able to create a new apk or something with the combined icons, and redistribute it.
In that case, this is really bad in terms of legal stuff because of some paid icon packs.
really very nice and practical app.
Is it possible to add the possibility to select own icons for an app ?
There are always some apps you can´t find icons for .
it would be awesome :good:

Yes, but if this app allows it, then means this is another app for that purpose and that's not fair.

Any chance you will support stock launchers or Nova??

I have API for this app and explained in this thread
Please ask you're launcher developer to use api to support this app.
I'm slightly confused as to exactly what this does. I have a series of iconpacks named Chromeatlix. If I were to rename all of my drawables to the naming convention that you have, it is my understanding that a user who has multiple packs from this series could then have multiple variations applied throughout? This is not a slam against your work but how is this different from how most launchers work in allowing users to select different iconpacks icons ...thus allowing multiple variations for individual icons? Does this allow for a random setup, ie..phone from one pack,contacts from another, etc. automatically?

yes it allows to choose any icon from any icon packs for any applications.
Since 2016, I have been developing a habit tracker because I saw there were many theoretical books but there were not so many tools to help us get started.
What is Habitify?
Habitify is a multi-platform habit tracker aimed at helping people form, track and measure new habits.
Why is Habitify "for Devs"?
After many interviews with my users, I came to realize Habitify is used mostly by devs, engineers or designers. The pain point of devs is sitting all day at the screen and forgetting to do important habits such as working out, drinking water or meditating. So I focus on tweaking Habitify to match devs' preference:
- Habitify is available on both mobiles, laptops, and watches, so technically it can remind devs wherever they are, whenever they want.
- I have integrated X-callback for automation purpose.
- I also simplify the design and make it tap-and-go. Devs are busy, so am I
Download
You can check the app on habitify.me or download Habitify on the Google Play Store. As I'm a newbie I cannot put the direct link here... so sorry about that.
Since I'm new to Android (been an iOS dev as a starter), I'm not sure if the app's design and function have this "Material Design" feeling, so can you guys share your thoughts and feedback? I just discovered Xda and I believe this is a good learning curve for me.
I'm happy to provide the Premium version if anyone is interested.
Hey mate!
I really like the app you've created. Im not a dev or a designer, but i use it for my personal stuff.
I really really love using the app, It has all the stuff neatly laid out and it does correspond to material design but still has a bit of the iOS flair.
I think you have just ported this app from iOS becuase the i've seen mentions of iTunes in the app.
If you fix these bugs, i think this will be a great app.
A small suggestion too - Create an AMOLED theme and maybe charge for that? Dark theme is really essential these days and i dont think it must be pay to use.
Hey mate!
Hey mate,
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, I port the app from iOS and since the app does exist on other platforms, I decided to leave iTunes there.
What do you mean by the Amoled theme? Is it different from the dark theme the app already has? If it's that important then we should charge for it, right?

Dark theme is where apps choose a darker color palette like yours does. The dark Blue shade.
Amoled theme is having a pure black color scheme. Everything menu, submenu in black.
I said it because, many apps in android have a basic dark theme and pay to use AMOLED theme.
Ah I see. But why should we focus on Amoled theme instead of Dark Blue? What if the Dark Blue looks better on some specific apps?

It does yes.
But AMOLED themes help have that consistency that people love to have on their phone.
I love your new app and I would like to have a promo code if it is possible to discover all the possibilities of the application
