Develop Bugs

Is it ok to post free apps that you have modded?

Well I have a couple apps that I am modding to my liking. I'm modding the actual apk file itself. Is it ok to post them when finished, or could that be an issue

If they are free I don't see why not.

Free does not always equal open source or give you the right to distribute.
You should email the developer to make sure.

I just figured it would get deleted by a Mod due to the fact it wasn't my work originally. I got a couple I know people will like.
Fancy Widget, working on a clear Pandora (couple versions actually), and Some more that I come across.

I second this. An e-mail to the dev would be the best idea.

Wonder how Pandora would respond to a bad grammer, spelling, and sounding email? Hey look at this email this no body actually thinks we will give him permission to distribute our program, just changed to his liking. haha

Haha, post it here and I'm sure we can proof read it for you.
Pandora was only a small start-up not too long ago. Although I think your chances are VERY slim on getting them to give you permission to redistribute their APK. Think about it, what if you started putting in a virus and everyone blames it on Pandora?
If you have a clear theme you want people to use, you're probably better off packaging something yourself that requires users to download the official APK for Pandora and modify the contents themselves.
What I just described is pretty common practice as it puts the modification of the content in the end users hands which is (arguably) within their rights.
So posting a zip of some original images (not modified versions of theirs) and instructions on downloading their APK and making the modifications is the safest way to do it.

Yeah I know they wouldn't give me permision haha. I don't know how to even create a virus. But your point is clear to me. So my easy install of clear Pandora will just sit in a folder for personal use.

How about posting a not-do-easy install?

I've never looked into the structure of apk files but I thought it was compiled code? How are you modifying it?

i've seen plenty of roms that have pandora (themed) included. would what you're wanting to do be any different?
i've even seen an "adless" version of pandora floating around somewhere before.

All I wanted was a transparent Pandora. I made every widget 50% transparent. I know there is metamorph and there is a theme/skin floating around that will do it. But, I dont like having to go through the process of downloading Metamorph, download this, download that. Just wanted to have it as a apk. I haven't used Metamorph since nexus one sold it 2 months after buying it. Might have changed since then, but it used to fail on doing some skins.

you should just make the theme, and let people morph it themselves. a theme is not the same as distributing the application.

The previous thread was closed by the moderator. I contacted him but he didn't answer. Though this isn't my work, i uploaded it to google docs. I hope it is reachable to everyone. If it isn't please suggest an other way. Download the attachments zip if you can see it. I repeat this has nothing to do with btunes, it has coverflow and it works pretty well though it can be more stable. Hope someone can improve it...

Why not just post some screenshots and attach the APK to the forum like everybody else?
Did you seek permission from the developer of this mystery APK before your attempts to post it? If not, that's also a rules violation.

So now that everyting is cleared i want to tell some people to stop acting like they own the forum. We are not all developers and we don't want to be. I think the purpose of this forum is sharing information. We don't want all to mislead, take advantage of you or steal your work. Stop being so suspicious

You're sharing something you don't have permission to share, since you didn't even know where it came from. This is against the rules.
One of the people you're complaining about is a forum moderator.

Me too, but for three years now i ve been using android phones, i 've never seen a music player with decent graphics. Maybe Uber music but this is a clone of wp7 player too.

[FREE][APP][2.2+] Timesheet

Hi testers,
I've developed the app Timesheet. It's an app for keeping track of your work hours for payroll reporting, billing etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217159
I think, compared to the competitors, it got the most complete feature set. But i'am only getting 60-100 downloads a day, and currently the retention rate is a dismal 25%. Why?
The few ratings the app got is good (4.3), but i need critical feedback!
Why do downloaders uninstall the app?
Is the app to complicated?
Is the app poorly designed?
Is the app missing some key feature?
Is the app buggy?
Is it the ads?
Is is the lack of translations?
What is it!?
Please download, it's free, and give it a try. Then tell me whats wrong, the cold truth!

Hey! I saw your app and was really eager to test it out. However, I decided not to because I saw it required a lot of permissions; most of these permissions I did not feel comfortable giving the app. I was planning on using this to audit my payroll for myself.
I think having too many sensitive permissions is not good for this type of app in my opinion. Things like reading my personal information, my accounts, to me seems a bit much for something I was just going to use to audit my payroll.
I hope this helps! Good luck And I look forward to see how this project progresses.

Thanks for the feedback.
I've suspected potential user might see this as an issue. I think i'll move some features to optional plug-ins to reduce the permissions requirements, like READ_CALL_LOG (used by phone tasks) and MANAGE_ACCOUNTS/AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS (used by ftp client).

Very good

Sweet alright thanks for the tip. Ive never used illustrator im a Photoshop guy but ill give it a try. Also i tried the app and i had a few issues getting around the UI i got a bit lost but i looks stable and also idk why but maybe just integrate the 3 icons you have installed into one that way it doesnt clutter the homescreen, i know some users dont like having 3 icons for one app. Maybe include a side bar sorta like G+ does.

Thanks for the feedback.
I've heard others getting lost . The problem is that the app is a bit complicated. The view and data structure is both hierarchical (Main > Projects > Tasks > Expenses/Breaks) and wide at each level (Details, Tasks/Breaks, Expenses, Files). I've looked at the side drawer but it doesn't really fit the hierarchy part.
The app actually had three seperate launcher icons in earlier versions. Now it just adds the two additional home screen shortcuts. But even these will be removed in the next version.

I love the set up and the simplicity, one thing I think you could add to make it better is a start date on the project page, I found it confusing to backdate my project until I went on the calander and added it that way. Also as a former door-to-door salesman and now a subcontractor for construction one other thing I found frustrating is there iz no pay by the week, by the sale or by the job option sometimes I work odd hours and get payed compensation, sometimes I work odd hours and get payed by the job, and sometimes I work odd hours and get payed by the week so if you could add that it would become the perfect app for me

Timesheet is should really be used to punch in every time you begin work. That's why the start date is set to today when creating a new task. But as you found out, the History tab is the quickest way to add past time entries.
Change the timespan in the Overview/Details tab to see income, overtime and expenses per day, week, month, etc..

Timesheet isn't intended to be used as a calendar to register future work. But that sounds like an interesing feature we could incorporate better support for.

I was looking under internationalization-> currency and noticed there was no UK (Pound Sterling) or have I missed something???
My first impression is that the app is a little daunting... but then I have never looked at a timesheet app before!
If you are you using Androids analytics you can get a good understanding of the areas people use the most. This is a good way to analyse your app, and make decisions in terms of UI.
Sorry I can't be more useful I'm not your target market

Yeah, it’s a bit over engineered. But with so much features it’s hard to keep it simple.
Since i posted this thead, we’ve added alot of features and made the UI a bit more flashy, and it helped alot. The app now got 300+ downloads a day with a retention rate around 30%. It’s top 5 of it’s kind so i think the app has reached it’s peek.

Hi there. I tried your app months ago when I was searching for... well a "timesheet" app. I was one of those who uninstalled your app. One of the common problems here in our small company was having to fill up these excel sheets. I thought your app could help me track my work hours, just to find out it was a bit complicated than what I was expecting. I only wanted to track my work hours. Basically I just wanna know how many hours I spent in a project for that day. In your app I needed to input my hours first before actually starting with my task. I know this is not the proper way to handle projects and all, but there are times when we need to insert some side jobs in between projects. So there you go.

You don't have to input the hours before you've done the task! You just begin the task and then later end it.

Are you downloading the torrent right now? And then you will mirror it for me on your server? And send me the link so I can post it to the top. I will be working on keeping this fully updated and the total guide as a how-to for everything GS4. Let me know if anyone has a spot that I can upload these files to. I think all rared up it's around 2.5gb. At this point in time. Of course over the next few months it will continue to get larger and larger. So I'm eventually going to have to categorize everything in sections. But it's a process. As for now this is everything you need to know and to have to be up to date what us with our locked bootloaders can do.

Or create another thread with a different pack or something. I will have to do some brainstorming. I'm open to ideas. I'll probably just break down and pay for a dev-host account.

Alright. Got it. It'll be done uploading here in about an hour and a half.

Since you're posting live links while uploading, you might want to consider sharing the MD5 of the complete package so that downloaders can be sure they have the correct and complete file.

Ok the MD5 Hash for the Newb pack is: 6FE5D348EEEFC66ACA359F51F330540A
Thanks for the heads up.

Seeding the torrent on my box for the next 60 days. Great package!

I did something like this and it got moved to General.
Swyped from the 4th Galaxy on XDA Premium.

Thank's for seeding! Keeping good torrents isn't hard to do if everyone plays there role!
I will continue to update it with more useful tools as they become available. I'll upload a new torrent with all the new stuff in a rar. And I make sure I paraphrase in layman terms sot that even the newest of the new should have no issue
And to take it even farther I plan on having a few rar's that will be for certain sections if they wouldn't need the others for some reason.
Simplifying everything down into about 5 to 10 folders root, pseudo roms, Roms, tools for debloating, an xposed folder,odin and recovering, and eventually in the very new future, custom recoveries, Full on Roms, kernels.... etc the possibilities are endless.
Simple for us but if someone had never dealt with android before it is no walk in the park. But that's why I am here putting out simplified packages with organized and easy to follow instructions.
The number one concern is getting our damn boot loader out of att jail, after that its all gravy. when I get some more time I will start making a guide on everything anyone should know about the galaxy s4 and what tools are available and what devs we have working on them and what the future holds for us with the Gs4. It's going to be a lot of work but it will cut down on a lot of flaming and ignorant questions.
P.s. On storage cow... The link for newb pack says its 0 kb just ignore it and it will download fine its about 2.7gb.
And also thanks for support.

Thank you for the n00b pack! I just got my new S4 ATT phone the other day and was looking around to see what I could do to it.
Took me a bit to find the torrent for this pack, but I did. The link in the OP points to a Torrent file that is no longer used. Instead, use the following link:
http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8503670
I will be seeding this torrent as well for as long as I can.
Thank you very much for putting it all together and I can't wait to see what I can do to this and with this phone.

My Watchfaces - Now with watchmaker files.

Hello Everyone,
I made my 1st watch face today. It is not perfect, but still looks good. Hence wanted to share it.
Have got both watchmaker and facer files now. But henceforth will make for watchmaker only since it is a much better app than facer.
The zip files have both the versions in them, so extract and choose the correct version.
Thanks

Too bad it doesnt open in watchmaker
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

The latest Facer update enables "copy protection" so Watchmaker won't import anymore.
Any chance of creating this face - http://www.authenticwatches.com/tag-heuer-kirium-wl1180-ft6000.html#.VKK5xf-CADA?
Thanks.

Hi Bikegeek. Right now I am not taking requests since I am still learning how to make watch faces. I will keep your request in mind once I get good at it. The Tag Heuer F1 was something I was trying to remember my old gimp skills on.
Sorry for now BIkegeek.

As of this version, his "copy protection" is laughable and won't take more than a few seconds for the WatchMaker dev to get past it, if he wants to. The Facer dev is taking the json file and converting it to base64.
For example, the OP's latest watch face's "protected" watchface.json file looks like this if you open it in a text editor:

I'll make sure my next update to my Face Viewer app 1) works with these new files and 2) un-protects them for ya.
To the OP: very nice job on the two you've done so far. Very good eye for detail.

looking good, keep up the good work

My 3rd watch face is up. Check the 1st post for details. I used the badapps.fr version as a source and modified it.

The Helvetica Mondaine is up.

Does anyone know if I can get the #Dd# date displayer to display with two digits. For example : 04 instead of just 4.
Thanks

Have got both watchmaker and facer files now. But henceforth will make for watchmaker only since it is a much better app than facer.
