Neat Official Google Tool for Showing Off Homescreens - Android Themes

Was just having a look on the Official Android Develops site (http://developer.android.com) and noticed google had added a tool which allows you to upload your screenshots, and the tool automatically overlays them onto the screen of your device.
They only list the Pure Google devices, Nexus 4,7,10 and the older models etc, but it is still really handy. Even has options for shadow and glare.
Maybe I'm just late to the game, but I had never seen this before? Will certainly make posting in homescreen threads a lot easier.
Link is http://developer.android.com/distribute/promote/device-art.html
It's certainly a tool I will be using a lot, so I hope this is of some assistance to others too :good:

Very nice find! This should certainly help with making apps look more professional in Android Market screen shots, plus you could use it in tutorials to point out what buttons to press when doing something, or highlighting what each function of an app does.

A lot of people use this for their screenshots. There is also a version in the play store.

Not to burst anyone's bubble, iirc, Google has had this for months now.
Jelly Bean 4.2.1 (JellyB-TSM) / Apex Pro / BreezeHD theme

this is the best one out there supports many phones and he is constantly updating
and adding more phones

I dont want to be the 1 to ruin all the fun but I read when I was publishing my theme, when you upload screenshots, you cannot have a border, so im assuming this will get your product removed from the Play Store

Thinking Space : Preview of new Mind Mapping app for Android

Hi,
Here's a special XDA preview of my entry for ADC2: Thinking Space
Thinking Space is a Mind Mapping application for Android.
Features include basic compatibility with Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net) and XMind (via Freemind import/export)
Heres a image export from the application, which helps to explain its purpose:

If you are in to Mind Mapping, I would very much appreciate any feedback you have at the moment.
It's been a massive challenge to get this to where it is now in the couple of months since the Android Developers Challenge 2 was announced, so some bits are still a bit rough around the edges, but overall it's quite complete now.
The Cloud support is very basic at the moment, however I hope to have a web frontend soon that will allow you to download your maps and also upload new revisions from your PC.
Thinking Space is freeware, I may even open source it once I've had the oppurtunity to tidy the source up abit!
Edit:
Now on Android market:

cloudify mind map

but I have a question about the publication in the cloud.

Hi,
The cloud function uses Google App Engine to the store the maps online.
I've done an update for Droid and Tattoo screens users.
If anyone has a Droid, and particulary a Tattoo, I'd be really interested in hearing any feedback you have!
Any UK devs going to Android Labs on the 19th November?
great app
works great. Thank you
I use the programme for some time and I think it is one of the most beautifully crafted apps.
It is just GREAT!
but where do i find online my maps?
Is there any way to download file

Hi,
I'm the developer of the MessagesWidget and all designers I had told me they would do a layout and disappeared.
If you could do a layout, I would be proud to include it in the next version.
What I need is a 4x2 layout and a 4x1 layout.
If you're interested I could send you my contact informations and we could talk through GTalk or ICQ.
Thanks.

I'm doing this to keep Android rocking with a better overall experience, so I'm just asking you guys to keep writing killer apps.
If you're interested, just post:
1) App's primary function
2) Images to be replaced (or screenshot w/ relevant image sizes)
3) Idea of the look you're going for, if any.

Hi, just found this thread,
My app is currently in the latter stages of development and I'm looking for some inspiration when it comes the front end.
1) aDyno (a beta ver is on the market for you to dnload & play with), its a car performance app, measures & logs speed/hp/gforces etc.
2) If you glance through the app screens, a lot are simple list views which I'm OK with, but the presentation may need reviewing. The main views that need 'some work' are:
. The main timer view (pic1), I need to overhaul the whole thing from scratch.
. The graphs view (pic2), something prettier.
. And the g-meter/g-pad views (pic3 & 4), again, my first efforts are pretty poor (though the code used in pic4 is far from complete).
3) What I'm looking for? Nothing too OTT but I'm open to suggestions.
Looking forward to hearing what kind of ideas you have, or if this is of interest to you.
You can also catch some dev info on this thread...

BLS Drug Profiles

Hey, I was bored so I figured I would code this app and throw it on the Android marketplace. It as all of the BLS Drug Profiles based off the Arizona Department of Health.
Before I throw it onto the market I figured I would ask what you guys think of the GUI. Do you guys like the way it looks? Or should I change it, what do you think I should do to make it better? Also keep in mind this is my first app.

Looks interesting. What I can see looks pretty good but you should post the apk so we can install and really check it out for ya.
This is a sorely needed app!
Thanks.
I wouldn't use blue for the text color though.
In bright lights or outdoors, that is gonna be very difficult to read.
Since this app could possibly be needed in an emergency situation, it's vital for everything to be able to be seen without any fuss or confusion.
Make it high contrast ... white text on black.
As for the overall ui, it's perfectly fine other than that. This isn't an app where asthestics are important. It's not something people will be glaring at for hours on end. It's utilitarian, it's reference. And keeping it simple is exactly what's needed.
One thing I might add at some point is a link to Wikipedia if there is one (at least I don't see it from the screenshots). Or if the material you're using for reference has other online references available to the general public, that's fine too. Especially something with links to pictures to help identify pills/capsules etc. That's just an idea.
Great job.
And if you're needing a beta tester, please let me know.
Thanks.

Ok, I will experiment with the color of the text I suppose. I can also ad a link to the Arizona Health Department Bureau of EMS. I also have a disclaimer to add, and it should be ready
Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let everyone know that I posted this on the market

What’s in the Box?
Think of the Gboxapp as a jack-in-the-box, in which there are many goodies that await your discovery. Whether its utilities or games you want to make use of, this box has what you need. When you first download it from the Gboxapp website, there are about 16 various applications that are ready for use. One example is the calculator, which obviously does not require any explanation with its purpose. If you are looking to cut down on what you eat, there is also a calorie calculator app in the box. Now, if you’re stressed out from work and want to sit back and relax, you can play the classic Pacman game in it as well. These apps are just scratching the surface as there are so many more functions with this box.
For more information please visit our site: gboxapp.com
