Like many people I find it annoying that the forum users posting with tapatalk often do not turrn off the default spam, "Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk" which is added in to the body of the post. This forces us to read it over and over and over and over and over and over and over....... Here is an ongoing thread about this in N1 general ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669354
A couple of solutions mentioned in that thread and elsewhere are.... make it a policy much like searching before posting to turn off the spam in settings which by default is on. Add in a divider such as you see before signatures that separates it from the body of the post so that like signatures it is easy to ignore. Many forums have not enabled it because of the annoying spam and this forum could disable support. Others?
Agree, it's very annoying spam...
What about the default signature do you dislike the most? The TapaTalk part, or just its existence in general? We may be able to change the default signature or remove it for the next version. That said, he helps to let people know that XDA has an app. I can understand that it may get annoying.
Maybe if you change the font, so it won't be confused with the rest of the message. It's important to advertise the app.
Put another line-break in and maybe a "divider" (----) to make clear it's a sig.

It's ridiculous. Why does it need to be so long?
A) We don't need to see the device name. We can clearly see the forum they're posting in (and people usually put their device in their profile or signature anyway) so 99% of the time this information is completely useless.
B) The whole "mobile application powered by blah blah blah blah blah" is excessive. We know it's a mobile application. This entire site is about mobile devices!!!
Can you just shorten it? Something like this:

+1. The problem isn't the fact it adds text, but the fact that so much of the text is unneeded. IMO it should just be shortened and possibly in a variation of the font used in the post, like bold or in a different size.
Personally Im fine with just a divider such as the short one used for signatures. To me the bothersome part is that it appears in the body of the post and I end up reading it over and over. Signatures are easy to ignore even when they are fairly gratuitus because the are outside the body of the post.

Would tend to agree with you on this one. I like your shortened version "Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App". Think this would be more appropriate
Will work on this for the next version. Hopefully within a week or two.

It would be easier if I was the author of the app-- because I could make these changes much more quickly. I'm more like the guy who convinced the Tapatalk folks to make the app for the community.
Anyway, doing my best to get this done. Thanks.
Actually, I stumbled on this thread on accident; but I like the signature the way it is, which is the reason why I left it. Yes, it's a bit long, but it's a good way to get the word out about a fantastic android application. Is it difficult to believe that people who use this application honestly don't mind giving a bit of free advertisement for amazing products?
I don't see how the sig's length is a problem. Look at almost anyone's sig that lists off the phones they've used and it'll be easily 5-10x the length of the Tapatalk sig. Maybe tweaking it to be a bit shorter, like "Via the XDA Tapatalk app - Nexus One"; but still, honestly, compared to any NORMAL signature, it's nothing.
However, it WOULD be nice to be able to set what your Tapatalk signature is manually.

for me it's no problem that a good app is promoted and I wouldn't mind it at all, even if the current length would be preserved (or extended)
what I mind is the following: the location where it is printed into the message, there is only one blank line between post and tapatalk ad and I always read it because I think it's part of the post itself, but it's not
and that's the major diff compared to sigs (independent of their size and format): though signatures are also only separated by one blank line from the post they are always preceded by "__________________"
that way they are clearly distinguished from the post, you always know what's coming next and it's up to you to read or ignore it
so why not make the ad part of the signature (e.g. as a check-box in User CP, freely configurable text/format)? I would be much more happy then
but independent of how long the text is: as long as it's part of the post I don't really like it (and that's w/o saying anything about the app)
thx

^^^ This.
Put ___________________________________ above the signature and 95% of the complaints would disappear.
.
There was an update a few days ago, the changes in that build were, "v1.3.1:- Add Signature Customization". I'm not sure if this is related to some other issue or not. If it was supposed to addrress it then it was a failure. Paul and others are correct. Get this thing out of the body of the post and its all good.
On another forum I frequent people were asking for tapatalk and they refuse to do whatever it is that they have to do to provide support for it until tapatalk changes the spam. Good call IMO. I like this forum. The knowledge base is unmatched, the moderation is good. The brilliant little widget you added up in the top corner makes getting to a different section a breeze. That was the one complaint I had before, as more and more handsets were getting added it was starting to be a chore scrolling to the sections that interested me. Pretty much all in all a well hashed out forum. I guess considering the subject matter here it isnt a surprise that the number of tapatalk users is very high. Not sure if its something that anyone would really see coming but because the number is high the number of times you get spammed is high as well. I can only ask once again, please help us out.
On a personal level I dislike this kind of in your face spamming. No matter how good tapatalk is I will never use it until they change what they have to know is an irritant to many people. Not the kind of people I want to support.
The past few days I've been looking for a way to disable these messages on my end and I figured out a way!

I don't so much mind seeing other people having that in their signatures. I just dislike the fact that if I personally use the XDA app, it insists on adding an annoying advertisement to the bottom of my post *without my consent*. If there could be a way to turn this off, I would greatly appreciate it.
Edit: someone didn't do a little looking around to find the option to turn it off. xD

Hi all,
I am trying to write an app using the following component to access the message stores on the phone...
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/windows/PocketPCandSmartphone.aspx?msg=2742467
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mapidotnet
Has anyone else used this? Is there a way to actually create a new message and move it into one of the stores?
Cheers
Yes...you need to either do it Natively [CE MAPI] or get a wrapper class of the CE MAPI for the .NET Framework.

yes i have used it in 2-3 apps of mine. and to create a message u need to use native code as suggested by cyclone... PM if you need help on that... beware i m not good in c++. but i have written a wrapper in .net for it.
Ok, I might take you up on that offer thanks!
I am going to give the 'In the Hand' component a whirl in evaluation mode to see if that helps, so I guess I would have to pay for that eventually, but if I can get it done in eval, then I only need to run my app once.
The script should show an extra "button" while the phone is ringing. Sliding your finger right over this button will disconnect the call and redial it back right away.
I did this because of the switching to an "unlimited minutes" plan, while some of my friends that call me are on some very expensive ones. This allows calling such a person back in one single swipe.
Attaching the tasker xml as well as an exported "application". Please note, those "applications" are a new tasker feature i am not very familiar with, i have no idea of what are the dependencies of those, why it puts what it puts in the manifest, how the implementation looks etc. If you install that apk, you do it at your own risk. All i did was exporting the same tab into both xml and apk from tasker, i did not code a single line in Eclipse to make it, nor i've signed it myself.
PS: Not sure if this is of any interest to anyone, but i've decided to share anyway.
Thanks for this, It will be very useful for me.

Very useful, thanks.
I addedd a button to reject the incoming call and send a courtesy SMS to inform that I'm busy now and I recall as soon I can.
Just a question: I didn't find the association between swipe to right and scene (rectangle or whatelese).
Is it possible to add the association between a swipe to left gesture too?
How can I associate a gesture (not a tap or long tap) to an object?
EDIT:
Found!
Stroke->Direction
I understand that only one gesture can be associated to an object

all devs should implement this mod in their rom
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
This is not even a mod, just a little tasker script. It cannot be "implemented in a ROM"
I suppose I'm fairly stupid since I can't import the file in tasker. Any tips? (the prj.xml file, not the apk obviously)
---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------
Quick note,
Your post inspired me. Ever since switching to pay as you go, I never answer the phone. I call back using groove ip.
Did this quick setup in tasker:
When Incoming call:
Copy CNUM (incoming number) to clipboard
If wifi is connected, launch groove ip
Very simple, the second I swipe to deny the call, groove ip is already open, and I'm ready to paste the number! Very sweet!
It would be awesome if there was Reject the call and remind me in 30 mins or 1hour or it creates a reminder in my calender.

Reminding from tasker is definitely possible. Not sure about calendar reminders, though. It is possible to add reminders using the normal (java) app API, though.

Should work, but you will probably need to edit it a bit and move the "reject and call back" button to some better location.
PS: Maybe i should code an actual "real" app with this stuff, "coding" anything but the simplest things in tasker is a pain in the butt, really. The problem is, i don't have any real experience (nothing beyond a simple hello world plus wandering around the activities/services/broadcasts/etc concepts) coding Android apps or even coding in Java, nor i have much time to learn the stuff.

Exactly. But, seemingly, tasker allows exporting it's scripts as standalone apps. That's the attached apk. Hence, installing this apk, without tasker, as a normal app, may work as well. Note that i've never tested this, so you will probably be the first

Been searching via google for these but no luck so far finding an answer. Here is what I am trying to figure out.
1. Is it possible to display the active tasker profile in Zooper? In know there is some functionality with tasker and Zooper but not got enough knowledge of it.
2. Is it possible to link my Google + profile picture to Zooper so it shows up on widget.
3. Is it possible to display the mah of the current charging the device. Much like Gsam battery monitor does.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

1) The Tasker variable %PACTIVE displays a comma separated list of all currently active profiles so it's just a matter of passing that list to a zooper variable.
2) Not that I know of.
3) No. You might be able to put something together using Tasker, maybe.

Time of all day events is 00-00 but Zooper. Eg. Today is 11 of June and I have all day event on 12-th of June, and I'm using +#C0STd# to show days left till next event, so that event is shown as +0 instead of +1. How can I fix it?
Here's what I did in Tasker and Zooper.
See the attached, you will need to rename the .txt to . prf for tasker and .zw i think for Zooper.
