Sorry, I totally forgot.

It's a task organizer. You can add simple tasks (like a to-do list) (which can be also used as notes), timed tasks (which also have a due-time) and geo tasks. Geo tasks throw notification when you get to the desired place. Places can be chosen from the map, from your current position, or you can have your favorites. Tasks can be set as important or completed. There are a couple useful features like repeating notifications until you drag down the notibar, backup to SD card, or putting important tasks to the notibar so you always see them.

You can click on the "bc" tag on my blog and read those posts for more info.

Here's a screenshot of the main activity.

Just want to share some first impressions :)

Things I like:

Very stripped back and simple

Good choice of task categories

Good option set, very configurable

Suggestions:

Option to sync Timed tasks with Google Calendar

Option to choose visible tabs (i.e. don't show Geo tasks tab if not needed)

"Cloud sync" option will need to be well-explained (what server or service will it sync to? can I choose to use my dropbox account? etc)

I think this last one is very important because there are so many other ways to backup app data. I would strongly advise not to have this option reliant on a special server you provide, because people will probably want to use a service they already use.

If it's meant to sync tasks with a web interface which mirrors the functions of the app, that could be interesting. But like I say, this will need to be fully explained so users can work out if they want it or not. :)

I'm interested to see where you go with this. I've only tried a couple of similar apps and what I really like about this is that you have a balance between a good feature set and a minimal look with simple choice of options.
[Android Software Development] grandioso:
Thank you for the feedback.

I'm affraid #1 won't happen, because google calendar tasks have a different set of data.

I also thought about that. Does anyone else think this would be useful ?

Sync was supposed to work like this:

The app would send xml data to my server, which would be parsed and written in a database. The xml file would also contain the user's google account name or id, so the data will be assigned to it. The user could then view/create/update/delete his tasks online using a server side application without needing to log in (if he was logged in with his Google acc.).

But I'm not sure it will ever be finished. There are 2 reasons for that:

1) Most people must be freaked out about how unsecure it is and they would feel like I was reading all their data and sending it to the government and **** like that. So they would not use it at all

2) It's a hell lot of work and I don't have much time (+I'm a bit lazy :p)
[Android Software Development] sambwel:
That's a shame, but I'm glad you have thought about it at least :)

How different are the data sets? If a Timed task in your app simply has something like the following fields:

Date

Time start

Time complete

Name

Description

Couldn't these just be matched with similar fields in the Google Calendar data set? I am thinking here only about the Timed tasks, not simple or geo. Other fields could be ignored. If this worked, any changes to the above properties in either Calendar of smarTASK would be reflected across both locations (i.e. newest version would apply). If any other fields are used in Calendar, they would be ignored by smarTask - you could make a note in the application info to warn about this.

However I am not aware of the technical issues here, if the Google Calendar API allows for this, etc... just a thought!

I think reason 1 is definitely a big issue, and not just for security reasons. People want to know if they use a "cloud service" that the server will always be online. If you cannot guarantee 99.9% uptime, and cannot guarantee that the server will exist forever, people would probably not feel comfortable relying on this service.

So maybe the "cloud" option should be removed... Or maybe my suggestion about Google Calendar might work, so you could focus on that..? :D

French translation

Hello grandioso,

Here you will find a french translation of your 2 files.

Attention: in french there are many quotes " ' " so don't forget to add "\" before...

Tell me if you want more details about this translation.

Best regards and good luck.

[Android Software Development] grandioso:
Hi. I already had a french translation, but it wasn't from a native speaker. So I'll use yours :)

Thank you very much.

sambwel:

my timed tasks have: id, title, description, due time (in a specific time stamp), notification time in minutes, importance and completion status and creation time

google events have: title, start and finish time (dunno what kinda timestamp), time zone, "all day" status, location, description, calendar name, guests email adresses, repetition status and reminder time in minutes

What do you think now ? :D
[Android Software Development] Lesicnik1:
I can offer you slovenian translations if you want them.
[Android Software Development] Awassenaar:
Are you interested in a Dutch translation?
[Android Software Development] grandioso:
Of course. The more, the better :)

If I had to choose one, I'd choose dutch. But if you have time and want to do me a favor then I'd be glad.

btw no updates until July. I have my state exams on the 28th, then I need to sober up, and then I can start working again :)
[Android Software Development] Awassenaar:
I was going to translate the files to dutch, but when I open them in notepad they look really strange... When I open them in XML editor I can't make any changes... Some help please?

Edit: I can open and translate your files in WordPad.. Is that usefull to you?
[Android Software Development] sambwel:
Notepad is no good for editing unix format files like this... From what I understand, Wordpad should maintain the correct format. But something like Notepad++ is preferable, and should also be easier to use, displaying line numbers for checking errors etc. :)
[Galaxy S II General] widoo:
Hello,

I'm using the Samsung mail app with Exchange (push mail enabled). Everytime a mail drops in my Exchange mailbox, the screen wakes up for about 2 sec. Is there any way to disable this ? I remember that it was never the case with my HTC Desire whatever the ROM was (Stock, CM7, Leedroid, ...)

I'm on VillainRom 1.2 WKF1, it was the same on stock WKE7.

Help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] widoo:
Anyone can test if its device behaves the same ?
[Galaxy S II General] rdy2go:
I've got the same, real battery drainer (I receive >100 mails daily).

Change EX sync to / 1 hour instead of PUSH...
[Galaxy S II General] UncleScar:
Just to confirm, same here.

You can disable the notifications and that'll stop it waking up, but then you'll not see if you have any new e-mails so a bit counter-productive.
[Galaxy S II General] widoo:
Thank you for your answers, that confirms I'm not alone... It's strange in some way as it's the only samsung app that wakes up the screen for notification....

I don't know how, but is there any way to hack this behavior ? I don't know where to start looking after apk unpacking...
[Gen8 General] mallard6453:
I am currently using Elixir and want to put a widget on desktop to show how much space I have left on my 4gb ex sd card. It says I have to enter the path, I have used the following:

/mnt/sdcard/sdcard

/mnt/storage/sdcard

/sdcard

Nothing works so far, any ideas?
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
Maybe it ask you the path to the device, not the file system. You know, something like /dev/mmcblk** ?
[Gen8 General] mallard6453:
No, it asks for sd card path
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
(twice are the sd card path, but one is the device side, the other is the storage side)
[Gen8 General] mallard6453:
I would assume it is the storage side being it is the external sd card....so do you know the path or not?
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
It is /mnt/sdcard/sdcard

So you have done the right thing.
[Gen8 General] mallard6453:
thanks..must be something with elixir because it doesn't accept that. No biggy, just nice knowing I entered it correctly. Thanks eagle
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
Happy to help and sorry for your issue :s
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Just to wrap the thread up with a Summary:

It must be Elixer's problem, but to save some time when you need to enter the path, /mnt is unnecessary.

/sdcard/ = Internal Storage

/sdcard/sdcard/ = Removable SD Card

/sdcard/usb-ext/ = USB Flash drives, etc plugged into the host port

Titanium backup?

Fcuk Apple
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil-kin:
Hello,

I seem to have a strange issue - since today - with my desire.

I have the Desire plugged into the wall charger, if I unplug the cord from the phone, it reboots (completely, back to the white HTC logo).

I did the following tests:

- Unplug cord from wall charger: nothing

- Unplug wall charger: nothing

I've tried this from the recovery and the actual rom booted, and it reboots.

Doesn't happen when in the hboot.

Could this be a hardware problem?

Kind regards
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Sounds like it could be a hardware issue. Give HTC a ring.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kozlojak:
sounds like something is shorting out. The usb port has most likely come loose from the PCB board. so when you pull it out it moves, shorts and reboots.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil-kin:
I was afraid it might be something like that.

I guess I'll better RUU it before returning it to HTC, so they don't go all pissy on it.

Anyone any idea what RUU i'd need for a Belgian Desire?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] thedawg:
Pretty simple question, i want to upgrade to the latest build by mik. Will this basically wipe everything that isnt on my SD card ? i.e. everything on my desktop, all my settings, all my apps etc.

thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] onlymeipse:
Yes, you will have to wipe everything...

If you want, you can backup your data with apps like "Titanium Backup" or something like those...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Somyab:
U will lost all ur settings,sms,contacts,apps..nd u will lost ur data in sd bcoz u hv to do partition for aps2sd..Its recommrnded to do backup of all ur apps,contacts,sms,nandroid before flashing
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thedawg:
oh ok. so ill install apps2sd, move all my apps across, backup contacts and what i can with titanium , flash.

what is this google sync business with contacts ??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thedawg:
so i just flashed to the latest, and its booted back in, and everything is still on my desktop ? like nothing got erased.

i did a full batch titanium backup. did it automatically restore everthing ? even my desktop settings ?? im lost
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
Haha so luckily you got me and my patience on your thread lol :D and you questions are simple yeah but not short to answer! :p

For your question,

yes! flashing any rom will exactly wipe EVERYTHING on your phone.

BUT IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF MIK'S 2.3 ROM, it will NOT wipe anything except your google/facebook accounts information.

By the way, for the manual action of "wiping", it depends what android version you are at.

If you are using Froyo 2.2 NOW, yes wipe everything on the list of your custom recovery.

If you are using Gingerbread 2.3 NOW, then you dont have to wipe anything except [cache] and [dalvik cache]. <- You must wipe these two!

I dont get what you mean by "install apps2sd". But whatever you shouldn't do that before flashing a rom. If you mean the Non-froyo App2SD+ (What the hell is non-froyo a2sd?), you should flash it AFTER you have flashed the rom in order to let it activate in the new rom.

Yes. backup all the things with titanium is necessary.

For the google contacts syncing. It is a service provided by Google and it is for you to sync the contacts between your Gmail and your phone. So you can view all your contacts anywhere. You can sync your contacts to gmail and then after rom flashing, the contacts are gone. Simply login back to gmail with the newly flashed rom and then click auto-sync. All of your contacts will be back after a couple of minutes.

But remember one extra point, its sort of a new feature in gingerbread but BE SURE TO UNTICK THE OPTION OF "BACKUP MY DATA ETC TO MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT" after you login your gmail with android 2.3. Why? It actually doesn't backup your data (well for me, i couldnt see it anywhere) but DUPLICATES YOUR MESSAGES WITH NO REASON!

IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM ANDROID 2.2 FROYO

NO. After you flash, every single thing will be GONE COMPLETELY. You will have to perform a titanium batch restore to get everything back in order.

IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM ANDROID 2.3 GINGERBREAD (older versions of mik's rom)

Then Yes everything is still on your "desktop" (I think you meant launcher) and ALL SETTINGS WILL REMAIN. However in some cases, home screen widgets will have problems and you will have to place them again. Information in widgets (such as your city for weather widgets, your to-do-list widgets) are NOT BE ABLE TO BACK UP USING TITANIUM OR ANY OTHER METHODS. So make sure you have written down what you have wrote in your widgets!

And finally if you have missed or made mistakes in any step, dont panic! :cool: You can always restore your phone back with KDZ UPDATER (Picture guide in this link)!

And when you are using mik's rom, and you would like to have a try on franco.Kernel which provides excellent performance, dont forget to discuss them in the thread The fantastic combination of mik_os' CM7 and franco.Kernel!!

Hope I was clear enough and if any parts of my post have helped you, dont forget to hit the thanks button at the bottom of my post ;)

Good luck! :):):cool: Happy playing with mik's roms!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thedawg:
Thanks alot, makes it clearer.

I will definitely put francos kernel on, the phone still could do with some imporvement in performance.

next thing i need to learn about is the launcher. is it essentially just the UI ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
erm for the launcher its totally simple - ur phone can have multiple launchers, but you usually only use one. and they gives you the app drawer and some screens for you to place your shortcuts and widgets. how are they? what are their performances? differ on different launchers. :) they all can simple be found on the market, and after installation you will be able to choose the one you want to use, by clicking the home button.

ADW launcher and Launcher Pro being the most famous ones and you may try GO Launcher as some people are using and appreciating it too. :)

new users if i have given some help you know what to do ;) and happy androiding.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Barleyman:
I have been looking for a PDF reader that can either invert colors of the pdf file or explicitly set background black and text white.

So far only app I have found that promises to do this is Repligo reader. Ezpdf mentions night mode but from the description it sounds like it works only in text-only mode.

Can someone either recommend these or suggest alternative? Both are cash up front so can't check if they really work like I want..!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liqn7:
Ezpdf's only works in text reflow mode (not that good imo unless you have very well formatted text).

Repligo's works in the normal viewing mode.

Neither works for colours and will only invert text/background colour.

If I had to choose between the 2 for night viewing mode, repligo would be the way to go. Although ezpdf is far the superior pdf viewer overall.

I would personally go ezpdf and then just turn your brightness down if its a bit too much. Won't make that much difference in battery life.

Hope that helps :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Barleyman:
It's not about battery life as such, I just prefer to read text on black background with an illuminated source like NC display. With reflective e-ink, black-on-white is better.

Easier on the eyes..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lekofraggle:
If you get Chainfire working, even on rooted stock, you can get a red night mode.

PDF is not something that can be easily manipulated. Changing colors and all is next to impossible even on a computer.

~Leko
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] engrkid:
Edit: Sorry, I hadn't suggested an alternative, only an app the OP has already tried.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Barleyman:
Not really. Both acrobat and foxit can invert the colors. Most problematic would be the background image. These are commonly found in pdf manuals you get from Steam and other do stores.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Barleyman:
If you can share experience with Repligo, that'd be good as well! I have documents to go so I have a decent pdf viewer otherwise..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] engrkid:
Sure thing. I use Repligo almost exclusively for pdf viewing. I learned about Repligo while searching for a viewer that allowed highlighting and commenting. I find that it works especially well with the academic conference/journal papers that I read. I especially like that I can highlight text in a variety colors and that its zoom feature is very intuitive.

I also keep my documents synced in a dropbox folder and the changes made in Repligo can be easily edited on my pc in adobe when needed.

Hi,

I am having a problem with predictive text in the stock email app.

It works fine using the Samsung keyboard with X9 on, but with any 3rd party app (Gingerbread keyboard in my case) it doesn't work. Well, it works on the subject header but not the body text. Very annoying :mad: (I have attached some images)

I have tried using Swiftkey (including X beta) and neither work. All other apps are fine - messaging, What's App, & Gmail.

I have re-booted but still nothing.

BTW - Not rooted, running Go Launcher EX on KE7 kernel.
