so I decided not to abandon development, competition is a good thing, right? and I am going to update the first post with a new build... in this new build there are a lot of improvements
- all 50 levels from the classic lights out, before it only had the first 5
- after level 50 new levels are randomly generated... I believe there are more than 8000 solvable
- added a hint engine... press the menu key and select the "Show Hints" and you will see a small red dot on the keys that you need to press in order to complete the puzzle, updates in real time, you can turn off this feature if you want by going back to the menu and selecting "Hide Hints"
- the state of the application is saved across instances... this way you can continue a game even if you restart your phone
any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
My main question is this: Does this app feel the like it is the sae quality as other apps on the Market? Or does it seem cheap and too simple?

(mods: if this is not the correct forum to post development of an android app please feel free to move the post or tell me where to move it to)
So I put up a thread a week or 2 ago requesting android app ideas and at first it seemed that games were in demand, so I started working on a simple game...
NoLitez is a simple game that take inspiration from the old simple handheld video game "Lights Out", (wikipedia link)
basically the idea of the game is that all spaces in the gird can either be turned on or off... the goal is to get all of the lights off. When you touch a light, you toggle the state of that light and the 4 lights immediately north, south, east and west of the light
I ran the apk using the latest android for titan build and it worked as I would expect.
So now I am curious if any G1 owners want to be a beta tester for me and tell me if this apk even works for them, and if so what they think of the game.
I only have very basic features implemented, and only the first 5 levels...
This would count as my first android application so please go easy on the criticism, but I am open to hearing all things good and bad
thanks for any feedback
i tried it out, good game. No crashes or hangs, works as described

cool, thanks for the feedback
Nice. Clean interface and classic gameplay. I remember when they advertised these things on television in the '90s.
On a side note, how's Android running on TyTN? There's not a week goes by that there isn't a new device Android is running on, but it seems that most of the devices still need some spit polish.

well I have a Titan rather than a TyTN (PPC6800, CDMA device, aka Sprint Mogul vs P4500 GSM aka AT&T 8525 here in the states) [but they do seem to be named the same]... and I have to say that android doesn't run too well on it, I have been able to get android up and running on it since July thanks to dzo's vogue releases but even with the latest editions the touchscreen doesn't work quite right and the button mappings aren't very intuitive to me... maybe I just need to give it more than 5 minutes, but my plan is to buy a Android Dev 1 or some unannounced 2009 android phone so I shouldn't have to rely on testing on an unsupported QVGA device... but I just got laid off last Friday, so it could be a while until I have a proper android device to develop with
Works like a charm, no bugs at all and a pretty fun game! Do you mind if i throw it in my g1 files in my sig?

I am glad that you are enjoying it, it is not a problem to put the apk up in your directory, I have a few more things that I want to do before I make a proper release in the android market, but I have a few questions and I am not sure if this is the proper place to ask them
1.) Does this application behave as you would expect it to as far as saving and restoring its state? Like if you get a phone call or have to leave the app for some reason when you restore the app does it save the lights on/lights off state? Does it at least behave as you would expect it to when compared to other G1 apps?
2.) I am not fully sure if this application would be allowed in the market because Tiger electronics has the "Lights Out" game patented... does anyone know if any other game "clones" exist on the market like say a tetris clone?
thanks again for the feedback
There's an app on the Market called 'Lights Out" already...? Seems to be the same game? Not sure who developed it though.

wow... you are correct, this exact same game already exists for android and I had no idea. Looks like I am going to abandon development unless someone thinks it is good to have diversity in the market, since I don't have a G1 there really is no way for me to test to see the differences that may exist...
I enjoyed putting this together, but I wish there was some way to browse the titles available on the market other than directly from a G1, that way I would have known to work on something different. (and after a quick search my second game that I was planning on making "4NARow" (a connect 4 clone) is already on the market too...
maybe if I pay the $25 and register as an android developer I can see the different apps available in the market?
so I decided not to abandon development, competition is a good thing, right? and I am going to update the first post with a new build... in this new build there are a lot of improvements

+1 I'm not sure if there's been an Android device that relied this much on the brilliance of devs to unlock its potential.
Agreed. The device is a great value for what it can do rooted. Thanks again for all the hard work.
The rooted Nook Color cured my tablet fever this Christmas. Thanks to everyone that made that possible. Sorry if this is hijacking the thread, but wanted to include a few comments and tips below for folks considering the NC + root.
I love this device. I'm not a gamer, so it's OK that it isn't Tegra 2. I wanted a nice reading, browsing, music and video pod (so to speak). I have been waiting a long time for an Android tablet (Apple makes a great product, but I like the open Android platform). Thought long and hard about Notion Ink Adam and Viewsonic G Tablet, but I couldn't justify the price premium, considering availability and vendor support issues. The Nook Color is a compromise, to be sure, but at the price point it can't be beat.
Things I like:
- Screen is awesome
- Multi-touch
- Android
- Accelerometer
- Form factor (I thought I wanted a 10 inch, but 7 is more portable)
- Price
Missing:
- Quite a few sensors - mic, camera, GPS, bluetooth, 3G
- Flash
Fingers crossed hoping someone will be able to enable:
- bluetooth (chip is there, antenna is open question)
- USB host mode (to allow NC to use peripherals, like a camera or a flash drive)
The device is pretty great out of the box, but I rooted it to be able to load other apps. A couple of things I worked through that I hope will help the next guy:
1) WinImage threw an "access denied" error when attempting to write the Auto-Nooter image to the SD card, but the ubuntu project app (wiki.kubuntu.org/Win32DiskImager) succeeded. After rooting, I had the Nook itself reformat the SD card.
2) SoftKeys is great, but I had to find the right settings. I didn't like the floating SoftKeys button or the popup toolbar, but the notification tray toolbar is perfect. I enabled all the buttons, which show up if you tap the tray icon. This works great, keeps the screen clean and leaves my hardware home button as a simple home button.
For the record, and in case it helps anyone piece together the mystery, I did have one spontaneous reboot. Nothing was reset, so it was no big deal. It happened a short time after I had entered the B&N store, accessed their wifi and accessed the Store app. At the time it actually happened, I had left B&N and the Store app and was fiddling with trying to connect to another wifi service.
This evening I see a new radio.com Android app announced (it wasn't there earlier today). Again there is the stupid no-Android-phone limitation in the Android Market. I've tried all my tricks in the various search engines to no avail. If you have a link for the apk file, would please post it? Thanks!
Tom
I haven't tried it yet but I went ahead and downloaded the apk. Still a new member so no links but here's the address with / replaced by (slash)

Thank you for grabbing this for me.
Thank you very much for taking the time to snag this radio.com apk file for me. But now I'm sorry if I wasted your time. The app loads quickly and displays the lists of stations. but will not play any stream. Whatever station I try -- e.g., KRLD-1080 Dallas or KYW-1060 Phila -- the station logo displays and the gTablet grays out the screen, "buffering" with a whirly graphic. The audio never plays. In Settings I turned on Mock Settings and restarted the unit. No go.
At least the stations play when dialed up in the Web browser, but if you leave the specific browser window the audio stream stops. There is no sharing multiple browser windows.
Again, I appreciate your time and effort. Perhaps Android phone users can make use of the app. I just don't get it. These Android tablets have been out for 6 or 8 months, apparently selling reasonably well, and the apps won't load or run on anything but cell phones.

It's coming. Google is just now making Android for tablets (Honeycomb.) Now that Honeycomb's sdk is on the way you can expect to see many more apps being built for these devices.

Have you tried TuneIn Radio? It works great and it's free. You can download it at freewarelovers.com.
Thanks for the tip on Tunein Radio. I use iheartradio and Pandora on my Blackberry Tour from time to time, but I'll take a look at this app for the gTablet. The radio.com was interesting to me in that it provides access to many of the 24/7 all-news AM broadcasters around the country. In our situation, when away from home, we can listen to New York and Philadelphia news. And... these past few days... I find it amusing to listen to KRLD-1080 with the wailing and cries of pain on the weather in Arlington, Texas. Poor babies. Heck, here in the Pine Barrens of NJ, we've had significant snow cover since the days before Christmas (and today with it finally at 44F I managed to chip off a 1" layer of ice on the part of the driveway).
Tom
Blackbird, that TuneIn Radio app is great. Thanks! Audio streams begin immediately, and there are a ton (or two or three) of stations in the inventory, including the all-news stations I like. There is one station that I listen to that is listed as not streaming: WNAR-AM-1620 is a 24/7 old-time radio low-power broadcaster that actually does stream audio at http://wnar-am.com/. Gotta listen to The Shadow Sat and Sun evenings at 10 Eastern ... but I use an app on the PC to automatically record the shows I like whether I'm around or not. This TuneIn app was a great recommendation for me. Thanks again.
Tom
asdr, thanks for the reply. Actually I think the next question has be to answered by Viewsonic. Will these gTablets be upgraded to Android 3.0 Honeycomb? From what I read and in talking with a knowledgeable friend I get the impression the end user features are more gingerbread than substance and the hardware requirements don't appear to be all that different if at all. My perception is the underlying code will offer programmers and developers significantly more and better options to make their applications fly. But then I stopped programming with dBASE a long time ago and my skill set is sorely lacking, so what do I know?
Tom
TuneIn radio
I discovered TuneIn a few weeks ago after reading about it via another post. I had used IHeartRadio on my phone but could not get it to play on my GTab. Without the XDA development and this forum I may have been an ICrap victim.
With more and more radio stations streaming using flash players you could search out sites such as radio-locator.com and try out those listed there. Found it most entertaining in the past!
Just wanted to add my thanks for the heads-up on Tune In radio - great find!

Has this happened to anyone else. When using this application it causes my tablet to either reboot or it shuts off and hitting the power button causes the unit to start up again. Looks promising but I guess I will uninstall and stick with tunein radio.
Been using MediaU for the last two months... its doing the job for me!
Regards,
Been using radiotime and it is the best radio app available I think. It was not available for me in the market, so I downloaded it on my vibrant and transfered it over to the gtab. The interface works great on the gtab!

While the Radio.com app didn't work for me -- upon launching just showing a non-stop whirlygig -- it didn't stop my tablet from working. I could just back out to the [classic] menu.
The TuneIn Radio application works very well for me. It drops to the background for listening while I'm tooling around the Web looking at news, finance, whatever.

Has anyone tried this app to see how well it works?

I found it to work great between my Nexus 7 and my Galaxy Nexus, and I'm wondering if it's worth nootering my Nook for
For anyone willing to try it out, you simply import the epub file on both devices, then after reading on one, from the other, with the book open, press menu and "sync reading progress". After that, I think it stays synchronized between the two devices as best I can tell.
Keep in mind for testing that the sync uploads and downloads don't appear to be instant so it might take a few minutes for changes to get pushed, which is fine by me.
I spent a long time trying to find a good solution for a reader app that would stay synced between devices and I found this one to be the best! Hope it works well on the Nook!
Just installed, when i open it, it just flashes and go back to launcher screen.
Tried it also, same result. It's a pity... Sounded promising.
can anybody get a logcat of the app crash? I'm going to point the dev to this thread..
i never did a logcat before, i hope its right.
just opened ddms, opened logcat, then go to pageturner and opened, this is the result:

PageTurner for Nook Touch
I've been working on getting PageTurner to work with the Nook Touch.
The changes aren't in the main PageTurner build, but you can get a preliminary test build here:
http://www.projectgus.com/files/pageturner/PageTurner.apk
Please let me know if you find any issues. The PageTurner author Alex hasn't reviewed the changes yet, but in theory he's happy to merge them - so at some point the Google Play versions (PageTurner Pro, etc.) will also support Nook Touch.
Source is at
https://github.com/projectgus/PageTurner/tree/nook_touch
Changes for Nook Touch:
* Fix segfault at startup (seems no OpenType font support on Nook Touch.)
* Support hardware buttons for page forward/back (direction configurable in Settings.)
* Better defaults (disable animations, bigger font, etc.)
* Workaround broken Nook theming, so no white-on-white text in dialogs.
* Disable the shelf background image.
installed and it work \o/
I have not test all function for the moment. but try all this week

I'm quickly chiming in as the author of PageTurner... I don't own a Nook myself so I can't test it.
I have been coordinating with projectgus to see which changes are needed for the app to support the Nook without compromising other devices.
In the mean-time please post your experiences, either here or in the PageTurner forums or Github page... especially if something doesn't work right or crashes the app, I'd like the hear it.

Hi NightWhistler,
For my part I've been using PageTurner on my NST daily with no crashes. I'm loving being able to read on my Nook and seamlessly switch to my phone. Battery life seems very good also, even with the wifi left on.
I have some commits for the comments you gave me on github, I just want to test them a tiny bit more and then I'll push them.
I did change my font from Gentium Book Basic to Droid, I got eyestrain reading on my Nook with Gentium. It might just be me, or it might be the sub-par font rendering on e-ink displays (Android libskia still has anti-aliasing enabled but the screen doesn't render it well.) My eyes are fine with Droid, and I still use Gentium on my phone!.
I noticed one weird thing, which is PageTurner seemed to forget my (local, not synced) book position one time. I noticed because I opened the book on a tram so I didn't have wifi available to do a networked sync. I'll try to reproduce this and let you know, I don't think it's Nook related.
Great e-reader in general. I'm looking into the possibility of making an update that removes everything from my Nook apart from it (because I don't really use it for anything else.) It's not really necessary though, works fine for me now.
Cheers,
Angus
Have posted a second test build, incorporates Alex's latest changes and should fix the bug I mentioned above (PageTurner Nook sometimes forgetting where you were up to if the sync server was unavailable.)
http://www.projectgus.com/files/pageturner/PageTurner.apk
Commits also pushed to github. Comments & bug reports from NST users very welcome.
Just installed on my nst. Unfortunately I need an access key to test the sync feature.
I'll try it for awhile and see how it does before deciding...
Thanks for paying attention to NST users though!
Hmm, I can imagine that you'd like to test the sync feature before deciding if it's worth paying for.
On Google Play you can do that by using the ad-supported version, but there is no ad-supported version of the dev build yet.
Here's the alternative though: you can e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send you a trial key for free that expires after a week.
If more people are interested in this I can set up something more formal / automated for it.

Sure, smart thinking
I've formalized it a bit now, all the temp keys have an automatic lifetime of 30 days... that should give you enough time to try it out.
I would like to ask that you grab the APK file from the beta folder on the site. There's a link at the top of my dev blog (I'm not allowed to post links here).
That's the beta build I'm currently testing... it should be pretty stable, but I want to get as many bugs out as I can before putting it in the Google Play Market.
Thanks for the app it works really well, syncing on my phone tablet and nook simple touch. Is there a way of changing it so the screen updates fully every six page turns as in stock nook app.

I don't own a Nook myself right now (any pointers on webstores that will ship one to the Netherlands are very welcome!), so I can't really implement that behaviour at the moment.
If someone can send me a patch for it I'll gladly accept it
A new NST on eBay goes for about £55 including postage to you.
There is a post in android development regarding a custom kernel and fast mode there may be some info that is useful to you there.

Other then the obvious time.
I like mine, but debating taking it back because in not using it as much as expected. Maybe i just don't have enough uses for it. Hence this thread
I use mine for notifications whilst at work so I'm not constantly getting my phone out.
Use it for music using Bluetooth ear phones when I'm out running or in the gym.
Controlling music playing from My phone so i can leave my phone plugged in.
Controlling my phones settings easily, again without getting the phone out.
Ticking off the shopping list as im getting dragged around tescos with the misses.
Use the camera app quite a bit too have a look in hard to reach areas when working on my car or fixing generators at work, also handy when playing hide n seek with my kids.
Quick text messages and replys.
Starting and stopping My Tracks easily.
And lastly just enjoy geeking out with it.
When working out, I use the heart rate tracker with Endomondo. For real time heart rate tracking the entire workout. This helps give a better idea of how many calories were burned. It works best during treadmill walking, not as well when weightlifting. But even what it does during weightlifting is better than nothing.
Shopping list as was mentioned already.
Cooking: I use "My Cookbook" app. To view recipes on my watch while cooking. This is so much easier, than trying to pull out the phone, book or tablet, to read a recipe while in the act of cooking. It keeps the hands free for the actual cooking.
Weather: I use the "Bright Weather" app. Which keeps a persistent weather card on my watch. So anytime I want a quick view of the the weather I can pull up that card right away.
Easy reading and replying to text. I use the "WearResponses" app, to easily reply to text messages. It's also easy to create and send a message via voice.
Watch faces, wow there are so many. I'm very much a watch face junkie .
Calendar: I always have the calendar card open for easy lookup of my daily schedule.
Step Counting: Aside from tracking steps during my workouts. Google Fit tracks steps all day. So I can see when I'm getting a good number of steps in a day overall.
Navigation: When using Google Maps, I can see directions on the watch while walking.
Calculator: I use the "Multi Calculator" app, to be able to use a calculator right on my phone.
Sleep: (Last but certainly not least.) I use the "Sleep As Android" app. To track my sleep patters, pause tracking when I get up in the middle of the night momentarily, to stop sleep tracking when I wake up and even dismiss alarms.
There's more, but that's the regular everyday stuff ,

I have to add answering the phone. It's so nice to get caller ID on the watch. No need to pull out the phone when I get a call. I can look at the watch and decide if I want to send the call to voicemail or answer. There have been times I would have never taken any action on a call. Because my hands were not in a position to pull out the phone. But I was able to send to voicemail, because I could at least get one finger to my watch .

@phil gpx. How are you taking pics with the watch? Also what app do you find best for the shopping lists on the watch? Keep?
@Darnell_Chat_TN. How is the heart rate tracker with Endomondo? Google fit sucks at it as I get a BPM after a run at 70. There's no way.
How do you like my cookbook?
Edit: I just did a search for some of those apps: which cookbook app? There were 2. And, which endomondo app? Pro or basic?
Thanks guys. I just got this watch a few weeks ago. Played with the basics myself, but I know it can do more for me.
Sorry for the off topic questions
Definitely more then I'm using it for.
I wish i could get it to work with my fitness pal

For camera, have a look at the "ZenWatch Remote Camera" app. It will work with any Android Wear device.
Heart rate tracking with Endomondo is good. It's not always perfect, but for an hour walk/run, it does give a good overall picture of BPM average and high. It's best to just allow the arm to swing normally during the activity. Trying to keep holding your arm up to look at the watch I have found messes the reading up and gives low numbers.
The watch only works with the free version of Endomodo, but if you want extra features you have to get the paid version. And then, the free version will work with the watch, plus have all the paid features too. So you'll have 2 apps if you get both, but only use the free version, that will also have the paid features after you buy the paid app .
I'm using "My Cookbook (Recipe Manager)", by Maadinfo Services. It's very nice, since I can put in recipes however I like them and then see it on my watch. The last viewed in the phone app will show on the watch.

Endomodo is "supposed" to automatically feed data to MyFitnessPal. But I have never been able to get that to work. So I always have to enter the data into MyFitnessPal manually .

As mentioned above or camera for wear or camera remote etc as there are many on the play store.
The shopping list is called Bring. You can have multiple people on the list and you get a alert when someone updates the list.

For camera, have a look at the "ZenWatch Remote Camera" app. It will work with any Android Wear device.
Heart rate tracking with Endomondo is good. It's not always perfect, but for an hour walk/run, it does give a good overall picture of BPM average and high. It's best to just allow the arm to swing normally during the activity. Trying to keep holding your arm up to look at the watch I have found messes the reading up and gives low numbers.
The watch only works with the free version of Endomodo, but if you want extra features you have to get the paid version. And then, the free version will work with the watch, plus have all the paid features too. So you'll have 2 apps if you get both, but only use the free version, that will also have the paid features after you buy the paid app .
I'm using "My Cookbook (Recipe Manager)", by Maadinfo Services. It's very nice, since I can put in recipes however I like them and then see it on my watch. The last viewed in the phone app will show on the watch.

I just tried the ZenWatch Remote Camera app with the LG G Watch R and it basically **** the bed told me in no uncertain terms it only supports the ZenWatch. Too bad, it looks like a neat app.

Start the app on your phone. Then it will open on the watch automatically.

When starting it on phone it has a popup saying that it could not pair with watch and asking if I still want to continue using it with the option of "yes" or "no thanks". Absolutely nothing happens on the watch. Maybe you have an older version? Either way thank you for trying to help.

I have had it a while, but get all update. So I'm using the latest version now.
