Did you test Notion Ink Apps?

Here you have a link if you want to test them -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928832
Thanks to gojimi!

I'm not sure if any of that is useful other than the OfficeApp, but I may play with the others. Thanks for the link.
EDIT: The keyboard is lame other than the arrow keys feature. A keyboard with arrow keys and a num-pad would be the way to go.

Having an onscreen directional control and an almost full size keyboard is terriffic.
Thanks for the heads up

I suspect they're thinking about the PixelQI screen in transreflective mode where the increased contrast of the keyboard will still make it very useable.

Sign apk? ahh, i'm a designer not a programmer, i merely opened up the apk, modified one of the skins (a png file) for a test.
so, all ive done is altered the filesize and date of one of the inner files.

Anyone got maild working on the Vega? I flashed via CW but couldnt locate it after reboot... doesnt seem to install anywhere

got mail'd working but can't get contacts to show up. i didn't flash it though. unzipped the file on the vega and installed the apk from the folder

I've tried some of the apps here, I'll leave my two cents.
mail app: Brilliant. I love the way it manages the accounts and the look & feel.
Sniffer App (file manager): Looks kind of cool, but doesn't recognize the USB drive.
Calendar: Looks nice but I don't use it ,so can't compare.
Browser: With the email, the best of the lot. Just one annoying thing. I have to reinstall it every time I reboot. Weird.

[LWP] Minecraft Skin Live Wallpaper

I'm not sure if i'm in the right section, but i do need help testing on other platforms cause the emulator doesn't support Open ES 2.0. and i only carry a 2.3.3 device. Thanks for the support!
This is a 3D live wallpaper of your Minecraft skin! put your username in for minecraft and show off your skin as your wallpaper!
*****This is a BETA version*****
Please e-mail me of any bug and avoid negative reviews! This live wallpaper will up updated constantly to support more features!
* To keep this live wallpaper FREE I have implemented ads. Completing the ad once will stop is from coming back forever!

please let me know if there are bugs or force closes. the Android emulator doesn't support 3D so it's very hard to program to support all environments. i use 2.3.3 and it works fine. and if you guys have any ideas you want to see let me kno. Thanks!

This app works out great on ICS. Nothing to report. Just my opinion: It gets boring after sometime... sry if it hurt you.

The post may be referring to PlayStore compatibility.
Unfortunately I receive an incompatible message on HTC Sensation. (Android 4.0.4).
It looks like a great LWP though. Thanks for the share.

Hi there,
Just some feedback for you.
I've just installed this on SGS2 with no problems at all using a 212 dpi screen resolution. (Hdpi).
Great start! There's a lot of Minecraft fans out there, so the potential is huge.
Cheers.

Its fine on my S2.
My sensation has a screen resolution of 540×960.
It could well be that the Rom at the time may of needed a Market Fix.
Bear with me, I'll try with another Rom that's now installed.
Cheers.
P.s, I've gave a playstore rating also.

OK yes it's fine.
I was running a CM9 nightly at the time, but now it's downloaded just fine with another build.
For reference I've downloaded it twice at different resolutions, 240 ,212 with no issues.
On a side note, check out this game:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindblocks.blocks
It's not just an ordinary Minecraft clone. Highly recommended, and definitely one to watch.
Good luck, I'll keep my eyes on this thread.

haha, it's not that i only care about money. but money helps. to keep this application free i implemented ads, i rather not make this only paid.
this is also the first time i'm using lead bolt. i also filed some complains about not completing even tho the user has completed the ad. i'm looking into using something else that is more reliable. they did email me back that it takes a few days for the ads to fully implement into my application. don't know what that means but the app only has been out for 4 days.
thanks for letting me know about the char moves with slightest touch. i looked into that before, i did not add a frame / time counter so next version will be fixed.

Or use any simple ad service and create your own unlock content after clicking an ad. i made a crappy one before but ditched it... got alot of hate mail and comments

I went to install this, but then realized: why does it need the following permissions?
- Coarse (network-based) location
- Fine (GPS) location
- Read phone state and identity
This looks like a fine app, and I would like try it out and help with its development. However, I do not want my privacy invaded. It's a live wallpaper. It shouldn't need these permissions. The only reason why I think you would need these permissions is if the ad-providing plugin required them, in which case I'll skip on this app. Please remove these permissions.

yup your right, it is from the ads. the only permission i need for my lwp is internet to access the skin.

[Wallpaper pack] Material walls v4 (Dec. 17, 2014) - Hand Made

So I decided to make some wallpapers and share them with everyone.
It took me about an hour to make and I will be taking requests for specific colors and ideas. Buy you can just download gimp for free and customize to your liking. Its not very hard.
Bellow are some examples of what to expect in this pack. It will be updated regularly (hopefully) and don't worry, no donations or anything, I was just bored.
All wallpapers are in HD and compressed in a .zip file. Might need winrar or 7zip to open you know?
Wallpapers will be updated regularly. I now have a partner working to copy these to the nexus 7 (2013 and 2012). If you have any requests contact me by XDA messages. And we will work from there.
Examples of wallpapers i do are located bellow in the attachments.
Change log - sort of

[V3] - December 11, 2014

NOTE: versions are not merged. You will have to download the new version which does not contain the previous version wallpapers. Sorry I'm doing a lot of the compression and uploading from my phone.
If you're nice enough, link people here and distribute. And hit the Thanks button. these take a good bit of geometry and math to get right, plus going through personal requests and conversions to various resolutions.
And thank my friend Jaron Moore from the Nexus 5 Central community on G+ for working on the nexus 7.
-- Planned --
1) convert wallpapers to nexus 7 size.
2) convert for nexus 6 and 9.
Note: I won't give ETA's. I have no idea when and where I make these, my schedule is hectic so I can't plan ahead to make these.

I don't even know if that's possible. I think it just uses your desktop wallpaper, that's all. Maybe decompile framework-res or systemui and see if you can find anything, but I doubt it.

This is nice!! I would like to be able to long hold on the window to move it.

Something tells me that multi window didn't get mentioned because I don't Think multiwindow will be ready by the final release. It will most likely be in developer settings. Although nice to have is not as functional as Touchwiz. For instance I can't really watch YouTube and use hangouts. Sure I can but as soon as I responded the video paused as soon as the keyboard popped up. I hope when it is release in prime time even away from development settings would be to minimize windows. Back to youtube, if I were on Facebook and wanted to listen to a YouTube video I can minimize the window barely taking any screen real estate and continue doing what I was doing.

Yes it is. I'm glad they are developing it though. As our phones get bigger and bigger, it just makes sense. If they truly want tablets to take the place of laptops, this is the right direction. It's extremely buggy though. I thought scrolling inside each of the 2 apps was smooth, but as soon as you try to switch apps in either screen, it gets really buggy.

I know this is a somewhat old thread but I just attempted to flash this through multirom and seem to be in a boot loop now. Know how I can fix it?

Good Lock 2018

I don't know know if your familiar with this app but I absolutely love it. This combined with Substratum gives you the ability to customize your phone to its fullest. I was able to theme my notifications shade to match my note9 colors and that's not even the half of what you can do. Give it a try. Search Good Lock 2018 in the Galaxy Apps store.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I've seen these two things mentioned here and there. I'm downloading and giving them a shot now!

This is one of Samsung's best. Why doesn't it come on the phone? It has like 5 different amazing additions.

Just installed it and it is really good. Changed my recent apps so it is similar to android pie where you can scroll from left to right and vice versa. Much easier to multitask this way.
Nice find!

Wow! Love this! Thank you! Now we just need an app to control the settings theme and we're good to go

Aptoide? Really? Welcome to adware land!
Personally I just grab the apks from apkmirror and install them.
You have to add shortcuts to each app because they are not accessible from the app drawer. Use a shortcut maker app for that.
