"Minuum is a tiny, one-dimensional keyboard that frees up screen space while allowing fast, accurate typing.
Current technology assumes that sticking a full typewriter into a touchscreen device is the best way to enter text, giving us keyboards that are error-prone and cover up half the usable screen space (or more) on most smartphones and tablets."
"Minuum, on the other hand, eliminates the visual clutter of archaic mobile keyboards by adapting the keyboard to a single dimension. What enables this minimalism is our specialized auto-correction algorithm that allows highly imprecise typing. This algorithm interprets in real time the difference between what you type and what you mean, getting it right even if you miss every single letter."
Link to the APK for developmental use only, please do not install the apk unless you are a verified tester and are following the Minuum Teams terms of use.

I tried it. Unless you are very familar with a normal keyboard, you still find yourself looking for certain letters. I also found inserting puncuation marks to be somewhat inconvenient. In the end, it really did not save to much space over my Swiftkey setup.

I love it.

Still trying to get used to it.

I've dabbled with it and am starting to get the hang of it. Quite innovative. I think after a little more practice, I won't be looking back.

Interesting, will wait for a later build and then try it for sure

Using Nexus4 stock and unrooted, Kii keyboarding it up

Just tried it. Great prediction!
However, no gesture/or swipe features.
That alone makes it unusable.
Also, it's a real hassle trying to input periods and other symbols without stopping.

[App][2.3+][Alpha] Looking For Players

LFP (Looking for Players) is a simple app that helps gamers find each other. It tries to emulate the bulletins boards in real life. LFP does not require an account to use but does require a persistent Internet connection. The three tabs (Response, Post, and Search) contain all of the functionality of the application.
Response lists the games you have listed with a list of people that are interested in playing that game with you. Tapping the X next to the game title removes the listing while the x next to a name removes that user. This list refreshes every time the app starts and every 15 minutes if left open.
Post allows you add a game to the server specifying the game, in-game name, platform, days and the approximate starting time. Anything posted is automatically deleted after one week.
Search goes through the available listings and returns a list grouped by time. All times are corrected for the local time zone. Clicking a listing within the group generates a dialog to notify the person that you are interested in gaming at that time.
Currently, I want to know:
• How responsive the app is.
• Is LFP intuitive to use?
• Are the colors appealing? How can I improve the theme, nothing too fancy for I am not an artist.
• Does this app accomplish its goal of being a bulletin board for gamers?
• If this was in the app store how much would you pay for it?
• Bugs and annoyances.
This was designed for use on a phone but it does run on tablets but its not coded to take advantage of the additional space.
**EDIT** This is the alpha so there isn't a large user base so there are 0 posts at the moment. Therefore everyone needs to post and search for the same 5 games: Pirate Sushi, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3, Roller Rally:Snake Pass, Combat Wings: The Great Battles of WWII, and Quarrel.

Thanks for your work!

Cool idea!

Thanks, I'm contacting people on that UI designer list to create a new color scheme for this app. That's a common complaint. Which is not surprising at all really.

Very responsive, haven't ran into any glitches yet

Speed up Chrome for Android with this Tweak

Chrome for Android is one of the fastest and most feature-rich browsers for Android. But a persistent problem has ruined Google’s mobile browser for many users – janky scrolling.
Especially since Google replaced the AOSP Browser with Chrome as the default browser on new Android devices, people have been complaining about a perceived lag when scrolling through web pages (except simple ones) or swiping and resizing. And it’s not a problem of hardware, as the old Browser was consistently performing better in this area even on two-year old devices.
Now Redditor erythrocytes64 suggested a simple tweak that actually seems to work at making Chrome for Android scroll smoother. We tried it ourselves on two devices, and the change, while not tremendous, is visible. In addition, many commenters on the Reddit thread report positive results.
Without further ado, this is what you have to do:
Type or paste chrome://flags in the URL bar in Chrome for Android
Find the Maximum tiles for interest area (#max-tiles-for-interest-area ) flag in the list
From the dropdown, change from Default to 512
Tap on the Relaunch Now button to commit the change.
What the change seems to do is allocate more RAM to Chrome for Android, and improve the scrolling speed in the process. The caveat is that, especially on devices with less RAM, other apps might be purged from memory sooner because Chrome gets more of it. If that’s an issue for you, try experimenting with different values instead of 512, e.g. 256.
Flags in Chrome (for Android and for desktop) are experimental and meant to allow advanced users to tweak things that are not quite suitable for the average user. If anything goes awry, you can always clear application data to revert to the default settings.

i will try this as i use chrome very thanks for the tip

good tip. seems to work. thanks for sharing

This is a good bit of advice. Giving Chrome a bigger heap comes at a cost

[App Proposal] What do you think? -On the Edge of the World-

So, hello everyone it's been a while.
For those who wonder what the heck is this guy,
I made this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/themes-apps/edge-navigation-bar-button-t2950486
Anyhow, let's get to the point.
I've been around making this app... called 'On the Edge of the World', or 'the Edge of the World', or 'World Edge' to shorten a lot.
For now, it's quite simple. It basically works in three steps.
1.When loaded,(that is user swipes edge panels and World Edge shows up), it checks gps location.
2.Then it retrieves google maps image from online and shows the image on the edge panel
3.Also, it writes down the address of current location.
I have fooled my phone so that it thinks that I am at the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island.
See the image below of the prototype I have worked on.

GPS locations are not re-called automatically after once it's loaded due to battery issue.
You can refresh your GPS location manually by clicking that Compass icon below, though.
(Yes, it's the icon from Safari. Sorry Jobs, I have always been shameless about stealing great icons.)
So that's basically it, at least for now.
What do you think? Too gimmicky?
What kind of functionality does this app need to become a killer-app?
Let me know.

Reserved just in case

Good work again. And what about battery use?

Possibly a GPS navigation system using just the edge with voice prompts. It can display an arrow when you need to turn(flashing arrow for a hundred meters or so) and have the voice telling you where to go. Make sure it has downloadable maps so it doesn't cost using wireless internet.
Good enough idea for you?

Similarly to the Google Maps micro on Wear? I could get down with that!

Love the idea, can't wait to see it in action!

[APP][Free][Beta][4.1+ Phones] THING - a new behavior driven, API powered Launcher

Me and my team are developing a brand new kind of Android Launcher called THING that we think you'll find is really cool. Check out thing.se and sign up for our private beta! In short, THING is a behavior driven, API powered Android Launcher that simplifies and automates your life. As I'm a new member, I can't post proper links just yet - sorry. Again, thing.se is where you want to go.
THING listens to your behavior and presents you with apps you're most likely to use at any given time of day and activity. THING lets you create your universe - if you can write a text, you can create an Agent that listens and acts on your behalf. Any API can be implemented to enhance your power and reach – the building blocks of Your Universe. Thing puts you in control - of everything.
Thing analyzes your app usage history and activity to determine what apps you're most likely to want, whenever you want them. The idea is to make app discovery easy instead of relying on a wall of apps and muscle memory to know where a given app is. (Pro tip: long press on the secondary hotseat to force an update).
Thing uses NLP to interpret what you want to do and how to do it by letting you program your surroundings - to create your universe. For example, if you're in Boston, an agent might be:
Code:
When I land at Logan Airport on Wednesday, get me an Uber and text John "I've arrived safely" if it's raining in Madrid.
We interpret and map keywords to services and actions to create a logical flow of events that calls API endpoints.
Feel free to ping me or email me if you want to sign up for the beta or if you have any feedback - good or bad!
