Hey all
Just wanted to let you know that my next app in the auto-mate series is out.
Its called: auto-mate (offline edition)
If you don't know auto-mate is an app for tracking the mpg, mileage etc of your vehicles. I know this has all been done before and there are other apps in the market which do the same but my app has things they all DONT have. My app will:
1) Schedule your services based upon your vehicle usage
2) Allows you to take pics of your cats
3) Looks amazing
If you drive more than £12,000 miles / year this app is invaluable, this app will tell you when you should be booking an oil change or an interim service and because you can see when its going to be due, you can save up for it and not be hit with an unexpected bill.
This version is the offline version, not syncing the data online (which the normal version does and a lot more) allows me to market the app at a really low price
This price is $1.00 or £0.79.
So please, take a look and I will keep adding things all the time.
Now I have to go back to the normal app to make improvements.
Link to the APP
Only WP7?
Is there any way that we can get this on Windows Mobile 6.5? It should be possible. WM6.5 phones definitely have all the hardware to do this. So can you please port this to Windows Mobile, or refer me to a similar (obviously not as good, but similar) program designed for older devices?
It would be difficult as windows phone 7 apps run completley under silverlight and reference windows phone 7 api. To make this work on 6.5 would require an almost entire rewrite.
If there is enough support, I will do./
I have purchased the application.
Whenever I go to crop an image for my vehicle, I can select the crop area, I press the crop button and the image dissapears, I press the check mark and program hangs for a couple of seconds before return to the application list (or start screen if I launch the app from there.)
Hi, thanks for the info. This seems to be a device independant issue as it is working on my omnia 7 and another omnia 7 I know.
I have released an update that should help with the issue. This should be on within 5 days. I have tried to catch the issue and send me back the error.

Hi All,
First time posting here, I've been developing an Xbox Media Center remote for Windows Phone 7 as A) It's fun and B) The other available ones are crap.
My app is called XBMC Remote7 and I'm about ready to submit it to the market place, I was wondering if there's anyone around that uses Xbox Media Center and has a WP7 phone (Developer or otherwise unlocked) that would be keen to give my app a go and give me some feedback?
You can browse your media libraries and control Xbox Media Center via a virtual remote.
I have both. are you on gpforums as well?
my device is not developer unlocked so will need to download it from the marketplace.
More pictures (I can't link to external image sites yet )
And that's all the pics
@powersquad Hey yeah I'm a member on GP. Hopefully this will be on the marketplace within a few weeks
cool. can you please update this thread when it's in the marketplace. I use WMC on 360 a lot and have a samsung focus. will provide feedback every now and then.
Does will have a free version?

There will be a free trial version that limits the amount of media items you can view. Everything will work the same as the full version you just won't get all your movies and music etc. in the lists.
Ok that sounds good, if you post a download link I can write an article on our portal
let me know
Here's the free trial version if anyones interested - mediafire.com/?89eda202b9fe9fz
You need Xbox Media Center 10.0 or newer and must have the web interface enabled in the settings menu.
Would love some feed back!
Here attached as well, thanks!
Going to give those a go and I'll report back ... Looks pretty decent from the screen shots though.

Thanks to some awesome feedback from williammel I've been ironing out bugs and tightening the UI.
Will post up a new build soon and really looking to get this on the market place within a few weeks.
Any feedback is appreciated
It's named 'XBMC Media Center'
Looks really nice! Would give it a try, but I have no unlocked device! So I will wait till its in Marketplace!
btw, hope your app will not spy the phone/owner identity like the other remote apps
I'm not able to test the app, but I'm using the XBMC remote for iOS. And I would love to see some kind of listview for the movie library. It takes to long to scroll through pictures and descriptions of every movie, if you have a bigger library.
Sure thing good idea The long list selector makes this less of a problem on WP7 but it can still be an issue on larger libraries.
The first release will essentially look the same as the screenshots in the first post, but I've already started working on extra "skins" that can be changed by the user that completely alter the look and feel. I'll put in a large library/minimalist skin

Since you mentioned it.. I'd like to see a way to switch from Banner/Poster mode in the app. Basically, when you are caching the image, perform some sort of guess based on the LxW of the image, and determine if it's a banner or poster. And then display it accordingly.
The other XBMC app I have made me switch to banners. Now yours is making me switch to posters. It would be an awesome feature to support both.
I have four XBMC devices in this house and a HD7 that is developer unlocked and running nodo update.
Hi guys,
I've just released Tiny Flashlight v3.9.8, which has full support for LG Revolution.
You can check it here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight
Works good, thanks. Was looking for one that worked on the Revo the day before you posted this.
Works well, thank you.
Thanks doink, I've been waiting for this update. Been using Tiny Flashlight for months on my fascinate and love it.
downloaded last night when i found that tesla flash light would not work... love it...
Why so many permissions for a flashlight app?
NETWORK COMMUNICATION
FULL INTERNET ACCESS
Allows an application to create network sockets.
PHONE CALLS
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY
Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.

Did you read the developer's description of the app?? Wait nevermind, I know the answer.
But if the mood strikes you, click on the link in the first post and expand the description.
Quoted from Android Market app description:
"Permissions:
============
Why Tiny Flashlight needs so many permissions and how are they used:
* TAKE PICTURES AND VIDEOS (CAMERA permission)
- In order to start the camera led (flash) on some devices, Tiny Flashlight has to use a small part of the camera hardware and it needs this permission. Don't worry, I'm not taking any pictures or videos without your permission. Tiny Flashlight is just accessing the camera led (flash).
* CONTROL FLASHLIGHT
- This is the old method of accessing the camera flash on Android 1.5 and 1.6.
*** As you know, Tiny Flashlight is free, but also is one of the best supported apps on the Android Market. Currently, this is the only app that supports almost all devices with camera led (flash) and fully supports all versions of Android (1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0). This takes huge amounts of time and effort and in order for Tiny Flashlight to remain the best flashlight on the market, I have to use ads inside it.
The following permissions are required by Google's own ad provider (Admob) and Millennial Media (the biggest independent ad network). Both are respected industry leaders.
* INTERNET
- Used to load ad info from their servers. Nothing more.
* MODIFY/DELETE USB STORAGE
- Temporary caches some ads on your SD Card. This is another method used to save bandwidth.
* READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY
- Some Motorola devices have factory bugs. These devices don't have unique IDs and this became a problem for ad networks, because they can't function without it. There is a workaround for this problem by using the PHONE IDENTITY permission. This permission is used only for getting a unique id. Nothing more."
Have it and love it! Thank you!

hi,
i used some hints from this forum and created a little app around it.
It's called 'Light Source' and i wanted to provide it for free on the marketplace.
As you might expect, it fails marketplace validation.
The response, i got from the MS developer forum is, that only OEMs and Device Manufacturers are allowed to use the ID_CAP_CAMERA capability. To avoid a complete waste of the time I spent for developing it, I want to provide it here in this forum.
It is completely free, does not show adds and uses the video-camera light to show a constant, flicker free light. Additionally it has a red, green and blue-light mode and a metro-style icon that respects the user theme setting.
It also uses the suggestion from this forum to remove teporary stored video data in a background thread, so it leaves no junk on your phone.
Have fun, using 'Light Source' and may the source be with you!
regards,
Hannes
Hi....thanks so much for this app....LED function works perfectly on my Omnia 7
and is very stable.....as well as the switch ON / OFF.....very useful for me
Very nice, thank you very much Installing now. I've been dying for something with a consistent light and a nice Metro icon.
Thank you! Very nice work.
Hi there guys.
That's strange, I have a flashlight app that was certified and is now on marketplace. It is called LED Flashlight, probably works the same way.
I checked and I do not use the ID_CAP_CAMERA capability.
hello. quick question how do i open up this XAP file? thanks
You need the developer tools installed on your PC and an unlocked phone to do this.
Start - Windows Phone SDK 7.1 - Application Deployment.
Use this tool to deploy the .xap to your phone.

Do you use the camera or the video camera to turn on the flashlight in your app?
Using the camera (and constantly focusing) turns on the light but it flickers on every "onfocus".
Using the video mode and turning on the led does NOT flicker but this is not allowed for third party developers in the marketplace.

I use the video mode with light ON, no flicker, at least on my Omnia 7. Of course, it does not work on phones with xenon flash, like the HTC Mozart.
You could test it if you want, its free. I won't give a link here, because its a thread about your app, but you could find mine in the marketplace, the publisher is Enless Soft.
Hi guys Im one of the developers of SwitchMe - an app that creates multiple user spaces. We have just released a new build which should fully support the T2s. Please have a look and let me know if everything is working as it should!
Thanks in advance, PR after the break:
.................................................................................................
SwitchMe - share your device!
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.
Some of the benefits of this technology:
Privacy
Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.
Kids
Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.
Gaming
Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games
Speed
Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.
Testing
Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!
Battery
Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.
Critical usage warning:
Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.
READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES
Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.
Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.
Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The free version allows the creation of two profiles and has no security features.
Screens:
Looks cool. I'd try it out but I hate crippled apps that need a key to work properly.
Good luck.

And yet there you are, trying it out.
Also, the free app already gives you everything. You just have to use you brain to make it work.
Attitude... it affects the best of us.
Anything to report?
oh, this is great, now you can share the tablet with family members

Hi

everytime i switch profile a android OS update is done, and after a few seconds im loged out again, after second logon it's OK
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 4.0.4 XXBLH4
Installed it on my GT2 3113 this morning and have been playing around with it. I do get the same android OS update thing as listed above when switching users. Also sometimes when the app opens it is a blank screen with no profiles or details listed. Running RomsWell V1.1 stock rooted/deodexed 4.0.4 rom

I've noticed that if I don't use the switch screen options then the app works fine and doesn't give me the blank main page that I was experiencing previously.

Im looking into it.
/DATA/.PROFILES is where everything is kept.
Guys there have been reports of the app being blank sometimes. Im trying to work out if this is something to do with superuser vs supersu. If youve experienced this, please let me know and be sure to tell me which of the two youre using...
I haven't been having that problem since I disabled the "switch screen functionality" in the settings. I do use the "fast switch" option and just open the app when I want to switch profiles. I am using SuperSU v0.96

You disabled the two main functions just because you sometimes couldn't see the statistics page? That seems a little extreme...

No, not just because it didn't show statistics, but I wouldn't be able to switch users unless I rebooted the device. When the problem would occur it also wouldn't bring up the switch user screen on the lock screen after waking up. If the icon notification was enabled it just opened up the statistic screen, not the user switch screen. I would get stuck in the current users profile until I rebooted and hoped the switch user screen would show after start up.
I like the functionality of the switch user screen but with it glitching like that on my device the only sure way to be able to switch profiles is to disable all that and just go into the app/statistic screen and click switch at the bottom.
I just noticed that there is a widget for this app that allows switching profiles without opening the app.

I think your problem is with supersu (if thats what youre using). If possible, change it to superuser or at least make sure that youve set supersu up to always grant and whatever.
Supersu is very green and i wouldnt recommend it to anyone.
I have used this app for awhile now and really love it as it allows both my girlfriend and I to separately use my nexus 7 without interfering with each others settings. However, I recently flashed a CM 10 nightly (which i really like) and the switcher no longer works, freezing during each switch attempt.
I know it says CM 10 is not supported at the current time on the app page, but are there an plans to include this support in the future? Any info is appreciated and thanks for your work.
