Create an app which contains mobile website?

Hi, is it possible to create a app that will just contain a link to mobile website (bookmark of some sort but an actual app). So when users click on the app on their devices they are taken directly to my mobile website. I know there is google app inventor but I couldn't find tutorial on how to do that. Any idea?

Yes, an app can either launch a url which will open in the phones browser or you can put a webview(browser) inside the App.

do you know if I can find a tutorial on how to do that? How do I make custom app icon and so on?

The icons you need to make in a graphics program and output them in the required sizes, go to the official android dev site there are photoshop templates and everything.

Its not that had to do with app inventor. There are two ways. One which will launch the defualt browser to the site (easy) or one which will create a webview inside the app using a third party app (hard). I made a youtube video on how to do it the browser way a while back. It takes about 5 min. Then another 10min if you want to put it on the market. Both vies can be found on youtube by searching cmoney12051

[Q] "Gallery 3D" Application Messed Up Gallery in App Drawer

For some reason, the other day I saw the gallery 3D application in the market. I dunno why but I downloaded it on my Evo. Now in the App I now longer have the Gallery application, but instead ".com.cooliris.media.gallery" application.
The icon isn't the regular gallery application, it is that green and white android square
The app fails to open every time you click on it the first time, second time it opens
I'm unable to uninstall the "Gallery 3D" application from the market, or the applications area in settings.
Any suggestions?

Guess if anyone could, can you post your gallery app back up from titanium.
Thanks

Youtube app...

Hey guys the only problem I have with this app is everytime I play a video it starts in hd ...which I don't want always....(and I know there is an option in the app's setting but it says its for cellular data....P.S. I have tried it and it doesn't work)....
So is there any way to stop this ....??

Youtube

Not a developer so take it easy. Was wondering if anyone can make a YouTube mod where music will keep playing even if you hit the power button. Thanks

There are apps on the market that do this. Not sure of the names off the top of my head right now, sadly, but they're on the Play Store.

Try this modified Youtube app:

I found it from the Omega ROM
This app let's you listen to videos with the screen off and even let's you download videos if you want. But for some reason, you may or may not be able to sign into your YouTube account.
You need to push this app to /system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r--, and then reboot. If you already have a YouTube app in /system/app then you will have to delete your current one (or just rename it). If your existing YouTube app was installed from the Play Store then this one should not conflict with it. This one has a blue icon.

I can't remember exactly where I found this apk. I believe it was from the GSii forums, as part of a custom ROM.

You can just install this app like a regular app, and it will not conflict with an existing YouTube app. This one has a blue icon.
EDIT:
This modified app comes from the Omega ROM

I tried it but I get a parsing error when trying to install. I'm trying this on one of the jelly bean ports so that could be why. I'll try placing in system and see if that helps

Oops, my mistake. You do indeed need to place it in /system/app/ to install. My above post should have the correct instructions now.
Also on JB, at least on the SDK port I'm using, the pre-installed Youtube app is installed in /system. That means you'll have to remove or rename it if you want to use the modified version I posted (unless someone knows of a way for them to coexist?). And for whatever reason, the YT app on the Play store is listed as incompatible with JB.

Hangouts always crashing help

Hi
Well the title is very self explanatory.... Every time I try to connect to a hangout from any custom rom the video fails and the app force closes other video call services are working....
