[APP] Quiet Time for ICS - Please help me test my first App

Hey everyone. When upgrading to ICS broke my favorite app, I decided to try to make my own.
The app is supposed to monitor your calendars and automatically put your phone on silent during events/meetings/classes.
I would love it if anyone would be willing to try/test my app and let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions.
And if any more experienced (than me) developers would be willing to take a look at the source code and tell me how I am stupid and should do things some other way that would be even better.
Thanks for looking,
William

shockem and nick w. Thanks for taking a look.
____________________________________________________
I just fixed two bugs and updated the apk in the first post and on the android market.
If you are actually planning to use the app, you really should get it in the market so I can push updates/bug fixes to you.

What a great app! Thank you very much!
It would be great if you could select different ringer modes for different calendars. So I could eg. have the phone muted when I'm at work and on vibrate when I'm at school.

Thinking about this more. How would you expect it to handle double bookings?
If at this moment you were supposed to be in a meeting at work as well as a lecture at school, which mode should the phone be in? Obviously it would depend on which on you were going to play hookie on. But the app obviously can't know that.
The way the app polls for events now it would be controlled by which ever one started first, and if they started at the same time, it would be random/which ever event the android OS decided to give a lower event_id. Would that feel broken?

Would it be possible to give some calendars priority over others? Or perhaps a possibility to prioritize a ringer mode over the other (eg. always use silent mode over vibrate, or vice versa).

Great idea, but you must have the do not copy feature turned on inn the market for this app. If you turn it off I will be glad to test as well.

I just checked, I do not have copy protection enabled. Why would that give you trouble anyway? The app is free on the market, why would you need to copy it?
If it is just not letting you install, are you on an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM? Your signature makes me think not. This app uses the calendar API which was introduced with ICS so it will not work on older ROMs.

If you have copy protection turned on and someone is running a custom ROM, I am, then they cannot download your app. I've had to update my only pay app with market licensing and remove the copy protection.
I'm currently running CM 7.2.

Thanks for the info on the problems with copy protection.

If you had not figured it out, that's why you can't install the app; CM7 is based on Gingerbread. To use this app you would need to upgrade to CM9 or some other ICS based rom.

Thanks for the update, it's great!

*Edited* NeoBuddy's ICS v7 Is open again and this thread is now closed !

TO All NeoBuddy was able to make amends to the dev he offended and I want to thank Jrummy for his stand up attitude and assistance in resolving this issue.
Listen carefully now, no more trolling or flaming will be tolerated, if we see this going on in the any of neobuddy's threads they will be closed. ***Heed this warning***
Move forward and enjoy your ICS as I do.......***The Moderator***
Just in case anyone was wondering, I believe the thread was deleted by a moderator because it contained pirated apps.
anyways, it was deleted while i was replying to some of the comments in the thread, good thing i ctrl+c'd my reply before i hit 'submit'. I'm sure we aren't allowed to link to the rom any more, but we can still discuss it and any issues with it.

The lag is noticeable. I hope we can get a solution with both quadrant and no lag. I was getting 2600 with 1.2 oc but phone would not go into deep sleep.

Ok, so I added .nomedia to my clockwordmod folder and titanium backup folder in the root of the SD card. The media scanner quit eating battery after that. Results may vary... (i have not done the init.d mod, wondering if I should)
So far no big hiccups, I'm really digging v7. Great work.
Problems:
GPS when turned off doesnt appear to be to happy trying to turn back on without a restart.
Cant find/mount my external microSD card (doesnt show up under external_sd or sd)
Samsung official car dock will not keep the display on (but whats cool is in the desktop dock i now have a neat clock with the display staying on)
In car mode the phone goes to side orientation, but the actual call (when your in a call) does not switch to side orientation.
Can't edit the display settings for the home screen (icons, and "dock options) they just activate and never go to a menu.
Question:
I KNOW I saw a TV out option somewhere..... /sigh

how'd you do it? i did a "batch restore" and it seemed like it worked, but none of the apps show up in the app tray.... but titanum shows that the apps are "restored".... also i'm trying to restore the "data" for a couple games as well, so it has my scores and stuff that i've unlocked...

hey guys, just curious what is the notification toggle app used for? i've never used it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it lets you put shortcuts in the notification pull-down bar, for example, the most useful in my case would be the "USB tethering" page, so when i click it, i can choose to tether via wifi or usb, simply by pulling down the notification bar. the "icons" are completely black so it doesn't get in the way.... also the actual button you press on is extremely dark so it's barely noticeable, but just noticeable enough that you'll see it when you need to click it.
my question is, it might be a simple question, but in settings > more > what's the "WiFi direct" button do? and how come the apps that i attempt to restore with titanum backup aren't showing up at all? are they even being sucessfully restored?
also some goods tips would be in Rom Toolbox, go to the Performance tab and click on build.prop Tweaks and change the Wifi scan interval rate to 180 from 90.
also in Settings go into Developer Settings and turn on the Force GPU rendering and also in that screen, also change the HDCP checking to "never use HDCP checking"

I knew that would happen eventually when I saw things like root explorer in some of his roms. Bummer, I like his work.

yeah, but all he has to do is remove those apps, and simply reupload.... well since he had an ongoing dispute between the mods, it might not be possible to repost on xda, but there's always gonna be http://rootzwiki.com/forum/71-vibrant/

Looks like his backup, rootzwiki post was taken off too...

oh, and for reference, for people who have lag on their v7 roms, here's what neobuddy posted to fix it (again):
I suggest you need to flash fresh after doing these steps:
1. Open zip file on your PC.
2. Delete /system/etc/init.d
3. Place THIS file in system/bin
4. Flash it. Enjoy no lag but less quadrant.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you would "right click" that link, and save it to your desktop and remember to DELETE THE EXTENSION (the .txt), so you would have to "view extensions for known file types" in your windows explorer to be able to erase that part.

For titanuim backup i restored by doing a batch but having the apps ask to install one by one. Takes time but thats what brought them back with their data no system apps.
Didnt know what happened thanks for the clarification on the removal.
Hope things get straighten out.
Still on the hunt for the hd playback issue anyone got some ideas.
Choppy vid playback

yup, its not in the rootzwiki vibrant developer forum

hope he can repost soon or get another forum up and going. Just got home and was looking forward to reading the thread more... Good luck nb

Sorry guys, first of all.
I am pretty sure which guys/group reported and got removed Passion thread, not worth disclosing name.
XDA got topic removed due to no Source Code posted and Hacked Apps included.
I agree its my mistake to include hacked apps (which I won't include in next versions)
RootzWiki removed due to such apps used without consent of main app developer. Yes, the app code was from other app.
There are many topics in the Developer Section which contain such apps without consent of Developer. However, they were never reported..
I will be cleaning these apps and make new Topic at other Forums after having talk with Nelson.
I have PMed moderator at RootzWiki to clean the links and restore the topic but I am not sure if they would.
If you are on Facebook, please join this GROUP.

If anyone's interested, 911 works on this rom.

Just to clear things up here for everyone, I figured I'd give this app a try on my Galaxy Note 3 running the OEM Stock Android 4.3 Verizon ROM and I haven't had any of the issues that ya'll are having. It's worked perfectly for me from the very first time I tried to download anything from Shazam. I was actually very surprised at how quickly it started to download each song...it was almost like I could press the "Share to ____" button within Shazam, the downloader app would kick in, then almost immediately I would have the little "Downloading to..." notification pop up in my status bar. I'd then pull the status bar down to check it and the download would already be finished, or 1 or 2 seconds away from being completed. I've been very satisfied with this app so far, minus the ads on each side of the "change download folder" button in the app. So, to clear up the fact that you guys think this app is just for android 4.2 and older roms, that's a very wrong assumption, as my android 4.3 Note 3 has done very well with this guy's app so far. Actually, there wasn't one single song that failed to initiate to download....I'm batting 100% so far with this app...I think I've tried like...9 songs so far and ALL 9 searched/initiated FAST and downloaded FAST. Thanks for this!
--my only gripe is your decision to place an ad on each side of the "change download location" button...it's VERY frustrating when I'm half awake and trying to press the button and then I miss-press and click the ad 2 or 3 times in a row. Move the ad(s) to the bottom of the screen or somethin...please? lol Aside from the advertisements aggravation, this app is fantastic! Thanks! :good::good::good:

since the app is not on google play (i dont want to be banned from there lol), to update you need to download from the link again.

I am somewhat confused as to what your link actually does? I can't get it to do anything. When I click on the how to use, I get the pop up window that says to share it to a shazam downloader. And then it does nothing.

I've tested this on a nexus 4 running 4.4.2 and a Galaxy s 3 running 4.3 both hang and eventually time out.

"download songs directly from shazam"
I understand its use from inside the Shazam app, but does this actually download the song from the Shazam website/storage or does your app search the internet for something that follows a specific naming convention?
In other words, where does the file being downloaded actually come from?

Can you make it for soundhound? Thanks. Works magically! !

Excellent idea, but I also wonder where the songs are downloaded from and at what quality. Maybe different quality options and Soundhound support would make it a little better?
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk

fur fixing purposes....doesn't work on my Nexus 5 4.4.2 either. Timing out.
like the idea of the app!
+1 where do the songs come from?

Hi,
Thanks for the interest in the app.
Next month my nexus 5 should arrive - be sure to check for updates and fixes
The app currently checks the best match from youtube and uses an online MP3 you tube downloader to download the song.
I like the idea of soundcloud, and soundhound, I have to check that.
It works for youtube share though

[APP][ROOT] Scheduler for Whatsapp v2.1

ROOT PERMISSION NEEDED, 4.1 or above
Hello everyone, some days back I was searching an app to program some whatsapp messages, and I found 1 or 2 apps, but are so hard to use and takes so much time so, I made this app thinking that to create a new messages not takes a lot of time.
The app is very easy to use, you only need to pick your contact, write the message and select when you want to send the message. Take care, because the app is a BETA version for now, but I need some feedback on other phones, obviusly, you need ROOT PERMISSIONS.

I need some feedback mates

Yes mate, for now is only compatible from 5.0 and above, but when it works okey in 5.0 I will make it compatible with below versions, anyway thanks for try the app
Edit: The app works okey from 4.0 and above I think, but not works always. The problem is that this app needs to reconect from internet to force whatsapp to update the messages and I can only do that from 5.0 (using internet data, not wifi).

Version 1.21, compatibility from Jelly Bean
In this new version must work from android 4.1, but take care, if at the moment to send the message you are not connected to wifi, the message will be delayed. I will fix this problem as soon as possible.

Thanks for this questions are very interesting.
I gonna explain the conditions, are very easy:
If you are connected to WIFI, the app turn off the wifi and reconect again in 5 seconds.
If the WIFI is off then turn off data and reconect in 5 seconds.
I think with this two conditions I maneged the comun scenarios.
I will work to add group messages.
You have any other idea to add to app?
Thanks!

Version 2.0
Hi, I'm here again, I uploaded a new version to google play solving the most popular error.
- Now if you have not the sqlite3 file, the app will automatically add it to your xbin folder.
- New design.
- Solved problem with some country phone number.
- Now you can modify manually the phone number.
If you see any error contact with me please.
Thanks!

I need some testers, some people is reporting that not works :S, but I don't know why...

I found the main error with the sqlite3 file, so now must be working on all rooted phones, I hope.
Is very important to download the new version if before was not working.
Thanks.

Android for Work compatibility?

I've done quite a bit of searching, and input every search term I can think of, but haven't been able to find an answer to this question: Does anyone know if the Zenfone 2 Laser ze551kl supports Work Profiles for Android for Work?
*EDIT* -- I figured out a way that people can test to see if their phone natively supports Work Profiles (required for Android for Work using Google's MDM): Test DPC, Google's profile test app for developers. If you (or anyone else reading this) is able, could you download Test DPC on your ze551kl and at least go through the initial steps in setup? If the phone doesn't support Work Profiles it will through up a message saying as much (tested the app on an s4, which got that error message) in the first few steps of the setup.
All more general searches I do only bring up results for the recent firmware update that added support to the ze551ml (not the ze551kl). When I narrow the search enough to exclude that model from the results, I only get results for lists of articles or queries that have separate, unrelated posts for ze551kl and Android for Work.
It's too bad all manufacture's don't just include support for the Work Profile (i.e., the AT&T S4 I currently use issued as a work phone still doesn't support it).
So -- does anyone know the answer to this question? I'd really appreciate it.

Its got the ability to have different user profiles, but I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to. Is it an app or would it be in the settings menu somewhere?

Its got the ability to have different user profiles, but I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to. Is it an app or would it be in the settings menu somewhere?

It's a bit different than user profiles, but similar.

It essentially creates a containerized section on the phone for Google Apps for Work. You end up with "two" hangouts, gmail, contacts, etc (which is nice, because it removes the account from switching account options in apps -- like when you share to Hangouts and it makes you select an account everytime if you have more than one). Instead of the work accounts device policy enabling it to see all apps installed on phone, have permissions to remote wipe, the Work Profile makes it so that the work account device policy can only see information in the Work Profile, and only has permissions to remote wipe the work profile.
I currently use Android for Work on my Moto X Pure 2014, and carry a separate s4 issued by work. I'd like to just put both of those sims into one phone, but I need something decent, that supports data on both sims (data connection active on both at same time not required), that also supports Android for Work.

Gotcha, I don't really see any Android for work options anywhere in mine, is there anything you had to download from the Play Store on your Moto X to get it working?

Unfortunately it's only something you can verify if you start setting up a Google apps account that can use it. Otherwise it doesn't show up anywhere.
I really appreciate you digging around for it though.

Ahh gotcha. If I hear something, I'll let you know. Might be worth a shot to email ASUS about it.

I figured out a way that people can test to see if their phone natively supports Work Profiles (required for Android for Work using Google's MDM): Test DPC, Google's profile test app for developers.
If you (or anyone else reading this) is able, could you download Test DPC on your ze551kl and at least go through the initial steps in setup? If the phone doesn't support Work Profiles it will through up a message saying as much (tested the app on an s4, which got that error message) in the first few steps of the setup.

Unfortunately, we have an answer. Maybe there's hope they'll add support with the Android M update?

We can only hope. Really appreciate you taking the time to test it!
Still trying to figure out if all devices on Marshmallow (whether launched with it, or updated to it) include support for Work Profile. Seems like that's the case, but having a hard time finding a definitive answer.

That would be awesome if 6.0 supports Android for work natively, at this point it probably should.
