[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catire:
Right now i'm debating whether to use Cerberus or Avast, both feature sms commands and you can track your phone via sms ( cerberus also has a website), both can be hidden from the app tray and can be installed as a system app so a normal wipe wont uninstall it.

Avast is free, you need to install the antivirus, from within that app you can install the anti theft software and then uninstall the antivirus if you are not going to use it.

META WIDGET

Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.

Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!

Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.

Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.

Features

★ Create widgets from almost any website element

★ Parse graphs and images

★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites

★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)

★ Automatic updates

★ User defined click actions

★ Lots of other cool stuff

Status

The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!

Play Store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget

The free app has everything but automatic updates.

Good job !!

Hey,

I had this (huge, at least for me ;) review written, then at the end hit backspace and freakin firefox took me a page back. WTF Firefox, I could kill you for that.

Anyway, so here is the short version:

Love your amazing design, with one exception of the settings menu (where you can choose the titel and all that)

I could not quite work out the difference between the up-down arrows and the left-right arrows

I did not understand the option to display as a list. I just didn't understand what it does

The text size didn't always work properly, sometimes when I would choose a bigger text size, it would actually be smaller

Everytime I had the widget done, I always had to manually resize it, but I guess that was because of sense

The widget itself was always just one big text and not nicely organized the news thread on the webpage, so the widget itself was kind of useless to me

One more tip; if you had chosen more than one element (e.g. an entire news thread), that it then should just open the single element, not the entire website with all the elements

Again great work guys!

The two websites I tried it with:

apktops

manga-access
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
Not sure what your problem with the menu is... its just like any other android menu.

Regarding the arrows - they will work better or borse, it all depends on the content.

"Use all as list" - this will use all the items listed below in list form, instead of just the element you clicked on.

Havent seen any problems with text size from anyone else, so most likely user error there, or some sort of parsing issue on the sites themselves.

We will make a bunch of sizes in the next release.

Lol.

Not going to happen.
[HTC Sensation] bigwichtel:
Hi!

I installed the app from Play Store but I don't find the Widget or the App.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
Reboot your device. Sometimes widgets need a reboot because of launcher errors.
[HTC Sensation] bluejee:
same here. i installed it but do not see it anywhere in apps drawer or widgets tab. i check in installed apps and its there but thats the only place i see it.

running caulkins v1.5 ICS rom.
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
its a widget - it shows in the widgets drawer and may need a reboot for gods sake:
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Don't feed the idiots ;)

Been using Meta Widget to display headlines from sites for a while. Not much to complain because it does what I want it to do. Only thing I would like toe see is the option to make the widget title bold or underlined.

Great app!
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
It shall be done. There will also be a minor release in preparation for the widget constructor we will release next week.
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
Guys, please rate the app on the market, that will help a lot!
[HTC Sensation] q9650:
Will test! Give you Feedback later bro ;)
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
OK thanks. Do keep the feedback coming.
[HTC Sensation] Masteroshi:
Hello,

Is it possible to update the widget from a stat website protected under an username & password login ?

suggestion :

I think the widget title is far from the content,there's a too big space between both ... so the widget takes a lot of area for nothing imo.
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
1 - yes

2 - use Widget Maker
[HTC Sensation] Resendiz:
Help

Hello, new here. I have a dorid razr. I am trying to create a widget that is basically acts like a live internet browser (I would like to use the 4x4 size) and refresh every 2 minutes.

The closest thing that i can compare this to is the way Business Calendar functions, they offer app and widget. I use the 4x4 as well.

I have a basic website that always has live incoming quotes from customers so having a widget refresh each time to show my latest quotes would be sweet.

Can this be done?
[HTC Sensation] Diamondback:
Okay so I think we should start that again.

@Resendiz: This forum is here to discuss things like the ones you asked for. So no need to "skype" you :)

@OP: Software is only as good as its support ;) Try to be a bit nicer :)
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
Guys is anyone having trouble with text and background colors?
[HTC Sensation] R3nrut:
I had some issues getting it to parse a user agent php code from here:

http://r3nrut.com/detect.php

It seems that it only wants to display the items that have tags, which may be by design. I might just need to add in tags for the values that are populated in the php code.

Thoughts?

This is a very handy app, I love having freedom to put whatever I want into a widget. I'm definitely getting the "donate" version so I can have refresh intervals. I use this to monitor an application build at work that is displayed in a text file. Helps a ton when I'm out and about and needing a quick reference. Keep up the good work!
[HTC Sensation] ftgg99:
Everything OK with the recent updates?
[HTC Sensation] Louer Adun:
I just tested out the app and it is pretty cool, but I do have some suggestions to make it useful for my purposes...

First of all, can we have some sort of custom input tags for the URL? For example, I have a statistics page on my website that keeps tracks of orders, totals etc... but the page is referenced by a querystring with the date to display. So for example, the URL would always need to include today's date in the querystring to provide the data I am interested in.

Second, A couple of my statistics pages are simple text documents being returned in a browser. When attempting to grab a paragraph out of the text, the entire document is selected, but it does not give me any options to add a selection area for the widget... I assume this is because there is no HTML formatting within the document, but I do have static headers and other items that could be used as a parsing reference.

Third, I would like to see formatting such as Table tags to be implemented instead of all the text being wrapped into a single line.

Fourth, I would love to see an option to preserve all the HTML formatting combined with a size % feature (as an optional feature). This would allow you to include an entire div with pictures, text etc. This sort of widget would potentially be up/down (and maybe an option for left/right) scrollable.

Just my 2 cents, but so far a great idea/concept. I haven't messed around with the Widget Maker yet, but maybe it has some better support for the features I'm looking for.

Hi there!

I got a HTC Chacha and love it, but there is one problem that i have.

When the screen is on an someone calls me i cant accept the call with the green button or any object on the touchscreen

when the phone is in standby (screen off) i can just unlock the lockscreen and it accepts the call automaticly

any advice? :(

Here is the screen where i cant do anything:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jrock2004:
So with being new to the Android community, when you are going to download an app, what are the things to look at to see if it is legit? Is it really taking a judgement call on permissions? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Panos_dm:
All the apps in the play store are safe to install (or at least a lot safer than the apps outside the store) and they are as you say "legit". I don't understand what you mean about permissions. Weather apps for example require an internet connection to update. Music apps require permission to read from the sdcard and so on... Before you install any app you can check the permissions and if there is something fishy then don't install! For example if a game wants to sent and receive sms, I'd say it is suspicious... Anyway watch out for cracked apps. These are the most dangerous, because he who cracked them can easily include all kinds of code in it...(ok I am being a little bit dramatic, but nevertheless you should be carefull).

Sent from my amazing 10.1 galaxy tab :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GorillaPimp:
I wouldn't trust what Panos said about Play Store or Amazon App Store apps being legit or safer in general. They're just safer than warez apps and that's not saying much.

In general, downloading hacked/stolen apps or any app from anywhere but a store is risky. When downloading from a store I stick with apps made by well known developers, apps that have a lot of installs and have been around a long time or apps that have reviews on major tech sites if they don't meet the other two criteria. So let's say my camera shutter app- it only has 10,000 or so installs but the dev is active and the app has reviews where writers spoke to the dev. That lets me know it probably isn't shady. Then I check permissions to make sure it isn't asking for abilities it doesnt require. Then I run Lookout's ad network app which scans apps for which ad networks they use. Some ad networks are very nasty and intrusive and some arent. Many games have this spyware spam crap in them including some non-free games.

I also make sure to root and download adfree which will update your hosts file (a networking configuration tool in your system) and block domains of ad servers. This will block spam in apps and websites without blocking functionality or your good stuff.

Many people have used picture apps from stores that were spyware and stole user data. Some of those had tons of installs before being removed from stores so you need to be wary. If you download bs apps like naked chinese girl wallpaper apps and crap like that from stores you're more likely to get burned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I am sure if I owned a smart phone it would have a reasonably good explanation. But i went to bed at some time during the night took the charger off while checking messages and woke up to a dead phone.

At first I didn't even think it was dead I have had one other day where I woke up with it off. It wouldn't turn on at all even after a battery pull thought it was bricked for some ungodly reason. Tried download mode which actually told me it was dead so I plugged it in to investigate.

Screenshot:

Its not entirely abnormal after a few partial charges for some discrepancies in charge level. But thats a huge one if something was not severely draining the battery. Being half asleep I definitely messed up the screenshot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
There is a known issue with LED notifications causing a wake-lock on our phones. I see that you have a text message in your notification bar. Could the LED be the culprit here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Could be it and I didn't have anything else installed to verify wakelock. But the stock battery stats doesn't show it being awake. The LED itself couldn't drain a decent battery in 2 hours but if the phone was wake locked hell yeah.

Of course I am on CM9 so there is a bit of an issue with the LED among other things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
Wow that's pretty shocking. I wouldn't think a led wakelock would cause it, but maybe a another background process being stuck. One thing i was never clear of is the network signal colors. I see alot of green, so is that supposed to be good reception? What about grey, light yellow, dark yellow?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MajorTankz:
Even with no leds on i get slightly worse awake to screen on ratio. I highly doubt it has anything to do with wake locks. It must be something with the ics leaks cause once i lost 30% in just 30 minutes while my phone was on standby doing nothing. Wasnt awake according to stock battery stats either. I left school with 30% charge left when i usually should have ~50%. I flashed back to calkulins GB rom after that. And now i get 30 minutes more SCREEN ON time. and life is overall better even though i dont have juice defender on unlike when i was on AOKP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
and on the stock ICS leaks black as well lots and lots of black. Dont have that issue on CyanogenMod9 though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qualitymove13:
I too am curious about the blacks on the ICS leaks. The phone radio doesn't match the up time like it used to in GB either. Is it some sort of efficiency management tool of ICS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That has to be a wake lock. I think for the most part people are getting decent idle drain now. Looking at the screenshot, it doesn't look like something such as email where you have repeated lines equal distances from each other. That almost looks like something you would see if Sprint was working on the network and it was down so the phone was searching the entire time but your signal is green almost entirely

Edit..are you using a Task Killer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Was my other thought. Searching will murder a battery but is green not good? lol. I have never had signal drop off for a long period of time ever so no clue. But normally yeah the signal is all over the place in colors.

However this below was a day of me using my phone near continuously. Remote desktop into my server. Which is why the battery life was bad. Mostly solid on the signal which tells me solid green is normal for good signal?

Once again this is my raping my battery using it.

I put it on due to the missing task manager features from TW. The ICS swipe off method is annoying because it shows me apps that are no longer running. Can't tell me thats it though I mean 12 hour days of moderate usage with it and there is a problem in standby?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Green is great for signal. I am wondering if the task killer is somehow waking an app and causing it to run. That is seriously bad drain there. I didn't think it was possible to drain a battery in 2 hours no matter what you had running on your phone. The fact that you were asleep makes it even more strange
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MajorTankz:
It wasnt. BBS only reported pandora and audio out as a significant wake lock which only drains 5% from my 10-15 minute drive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I bet the task killer was fighting with the OS the whole time and your phone repeatedly opened and closed the same stuff
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Now why would it do that? There is 0 reason for it to close anything its not told to and I was clearly asleep :p It has no permission to auto kill applications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I've never had good luck with those things and battery life. Oh well 14 is out now, maybe you just stumbled on a bug in 10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Does no one notice I am not on Samsung firmware lmao. I mean reason for using a task killer since the TW task manager doesn't exist in this as i stated. That screen shot is no theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I guess I fail to see the point of this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
I had a similar issue with this woke up one morning and phone was very hot. Turn it on and battery was almost dead, yet battery stats show's similar screen of what you have right there no awake time. My only theory is that on some occasions the phone goes into deep sleep with out throttling the cpu back down to 200mhz or what ever it normally sleeps at.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I'm thinking the cpu had to be pegged at max by a background task; you don't show any wake lock in your ss.

Perhaps it's a specific timing of turning on the screen, checking messages, unplugging, and turning off the screen left you with a cpu/gpu maxed out. Under normal usage, you'd use the phone some short time later, things get reset, and no one would be the wiser.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Was it constantly downloading something over 4g? Looks like that's what happened
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
If your talking to me the answer is no lol. Wipe your phonw turn it on put in your gmail account and slap a couple apps on it. Restart it charge it take it off the charger. 2 hours later it died.

Hello people :)

I flashed the new rom Feralab v18 and DoomKernel v.06 on my phone x10i but I have seen that sometimes it block or it goes in spurts.....I don't sure that it's the kernel, but because I wanted to prove even more, I'm here to ask you :

What are the new and best kernel after DoomKernel with over / underclocked or not?? :) thx

has anyone ever tried this kernel?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Almost all of kernel for X10i are very similar, because are based on stock SE sources. I am using Doomlord kernels, because they are stable and have good scailng and undervolting capability.

It also depends if u want locked or unlocked bootloader version :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raschild6:
i have unlocked bootloader ;) now i search the best kernel for flowing, performance and without big bug :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
As I told - I recommend Doomlord kernels. There are not any kernel with "big" bugs (i know only about Usb host bugs). Look into section "Android Development" and choose the right one you thing is for you :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raschild6:
i had found this post :

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raschild6:
ok i try in this days and then I'll tell you how it went ;)

if you have other news write here :)

but.....i have 2.3.3 version stock but with Feralab Rom v18 i passed 2.3.9.

the Free Kernel 4.05.4 Cob06d is compatible with the Rom?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Goodluck!

Personally its just a guess for you - I am still on locked bootloader and tested all of locked kernels and free kernels were the best all the time.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raschild6:
thx :) so.....why you still on locked bootloader?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Anytime bro ;)

I am on locked bootloader still because I dont have any reasons to unlock it and because:

- there is no rom/kernel which requires unlcked bl which has something really necessary for me (eg. new major version of OS or some extra functionalities)

- once bootloader is unlocked you can brick your phone totally ;) (and I dont have JIG and UART adapter for X10i).

- i have completely modded WB rom by myself - extremely clean with huge of free RAM and great CPU performance. Didnt found something like mine yet :D

Only one reason why I will (in future) unlock my bootloader is CyanogenMod 9 which is in development but currently it hasnt deep sleep and camera working. Only one reason is Android 4.0 no else ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raschild6:
yes!!! it's true!!....but i have unlocked bootloader even when I was a noob xD

last question : you have learned himself to build and program kernel-rom?

I'd like to start doing something, in java for example :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Haha :D :D I am really NOT a noob, but still dont have it :D

No no its too difficult - yes I am able to build a android kernel from sources a make a really few mods in it, but I cant say, that I am a developer... Even I am programmer in desktop C++ and desktop Java, I cant write any app for android, its much more difficult than a programm app for PC in C++ and desktop Java is completely different from Android Java for a pity :( I have tried some tutorial for veleoping on android and I was disgusted how it works badly...

I recommend you to start programming in C++ or Java in desktop environment first and later move on Android Java ;)

And ROMs no, still modding released ones and for personal usage at a time. I wasnt ever thought about to release my mods here on XDA yet :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raschild6:
i just study 2 year of C# (class,OOP,windows form) and 1 year of C++ and java at school but i'm still far from create app :( :( :D

have you got some guide of programming in C++ or Java for create app or complete guide of developing on android ??? i can try with eclipse and some guide but there are only court and incomplete
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Bad school then :P I have studied half a year of C++ and year of Java and it tought me to build some apps myself now. Must note that all with no UI, just command line but its more usable and resources free.

No sorry mate, I bought two thin books for C++ and Java, but sold them back very early. I prefer myself playing with code :)

As I told, not evan for android app - few months ago I searched how-to make a Hello World! for android. It was for Eclipse as I remember... And was disgusted how long was the whole code for it - about 40 lines of something between XML and Java.

So I dont have any... :(
