Thanks for this, its a great idea.

A bit of feedback though:

Why cant I use one of the snapshots I've captured in the homescreen widget? Or have I missed something?

Would it be possible to implement an easier way to expand a selection? I would like for instance to be able to select the first 10 topics in the Sensation Development Forum on XDA but the program only seems to allow me to capture one topic and if I expand further it captures the whole page which is then unreadable in the widget due to the tiny text.

I do appreciate its in beta still so you may already be looking at it.

If this becomes a paid for app I'll definitely pick it up.

All the best

So I was loading up a round of ShadowGun and everytime I go to load my game or start a new one it leiter bumps back to the homescreen or reboots my phone. I even went as far as redownloading it from the market and wiping the games cache but still the same result. Is anyone else having the same issue? I have tried to play it every day for 3 days with the same issue every time. Getting annoyed as I love this game....

Hmm, I had the issue with Fifa 12. I wanted to play it but it forced closed the app everytime i´ve wanted to play a match. So i´ve replaced the SD-Files from a earlier backup and it worked. Maybe you´ll have to redownload the SD Files because some games maybe don´t delete them when you deinstall the app and they are damaged by faulty SD Card and the game doesn´t recognise it.

Can you guys help me with my issues too? I'm having the same.:( for me, NOVA 3, mass effect infiltrator and shadowgun. But what I encountered is SUPER LAG. It's like, my phone just hangs or doesn't respond. Tried v6 and/or ram manager. But my reboot is kinda weird. Usually if you reboot you can see the doomskernel logo, then only Sony Ericsson right? What I see is only the Sony Ericsson logo only. And can i ask what is nitro lag nullifier from v6?(or is it spelled like that?

Oddly I aggree with most of that, esp the marketing, you know I just found out just how good google voice was the other day... I have had android phones now for 3 years... Lol.
[General Topics] dB Zac:
funny you should bring up google voice. That was one of the things that I was thinking about when it comes to advertising short comings. It has been a great feature and a solid performer and now with Jellybean, it has every function of Siri, with the performance level I have come to expect from Google voice.

google needs to talk about it in plain English with every day examples of implementation
[General Topics] alpha-niner64:
All of those faults/cons/criticisms can be attributed to just about any device/thing/object/concept that endorses an open-ended nature. The one off the top of my head that fits the OP's bill nearly word for word is Windows (technically Windows is closed-source). The Playstation 3 is a similar concept too. It's got all the nice bells and tech but its advertising sucks.

Google doesn't need to do any advertising, but rather the respective manufacturers. They're the ones that should be selling what Android does for their phones and why people should choose their phones over the others. If there are feature discrepancies from one phone to the other, the manufacturers should work to get those features implemented, that's the real strength of open-source software. It helps a lot if a manufacturer works together with their modding community to make it happen, which in turns makes your product/device more competitive and play on that.

Google caters to the developers because that's what Google is: a developer. That's why Google has their own line of phones: Nexus. Their phones are catered to the developers and well...us XDA'ers. They do a good job at advertising where it matters: recent one being their own conference just a week ago. If it reassures the OP: the rumor that Google plans to expand the Nexus line to more manufacturers is a good thing for us XDAers and friends of XDAers.
[General Topics] dB Zac:
1st off, other companies doing it too, its not a reason to ignore said issue. Also, windows is taking steps to correct the hardware issue and make there OS consistent (for example)

If you think google doesn't "have to" advertise, I guess your right but even companies like 3M who sells many products to OEM's that then sell to the end user (like google) advertise to further there brand and promote the use of there products by OEM's. Also, 3M knows more about the products than any one OEM that uses there products, not to mention, the OEM's that use 3M consider 3M to be one of the reasons there product is good, and will not focus on key points of the 3M element.

Also, look at gorilla glass from corning, another product that isn't sold direct to the end user. They do there own advertising to promote there product and increase brand recognition to better sell there product.

I also disagree that google is a developer selling to developers only. Google nexus 7 is a perfect example of that. The nexus 7 tab is meant to further the "play store" brand, and is being sold at a vary low price point in the hopes that play store sales will make up for it just like the Kindle. I also don't think the Galaxy Nexus is a "developer device" at least, not exclusively.

So does google have to, no. Should they want to, yes.
[General Topics] alpha-niner64:
What would you have Google advertise about that other companies should be doing in their stead? Google has brand recognition already and it's pretty clear by Google I/O that their intended audience isn't the Apple crowd: so who else would there be to advertise to? If the Apple crowd is whom you're referring to: that should be Samsung, HTC, Sony's job to do. What can Google do to help those manufacturers sell their features to the consumer that those companies aren't already doing themselves?
[General Topics] dB Zac:
This is where we are going to disagree. Google has brand recognition but Android has far less. Verizon, did the best job and now the "droid" brand has more recognition than "android", many times "droid" is used and the general brand for all android by consumers. I don't think Google should depend on hardware companies to advertise there product. Even windows advertises there software. The OEM's should ALSO advertise but not ONLY advertise.

Advertising that the Galaxy nexus has a "unlockable" boot loader is un needed and doesnt further the brand. 98% of the people who want a unlocked boot loader, knew the galaxy nexus had one before the ad hit the streets.

The fact that apple fans are oviusly not googles target market is or should be false (proven by samsung). Google should be polishing there OS so that more of apple users would be interested. Google will not be able to continue on for ever just appealing to a small market such as the XDA community. OEM's will abandon them if that was the case. Look at the OEM's and there behavior, they are not interested in selling phones to the developer community only, otherwise Motorola would not lock there phones down as they did, or at least they would offer developers unlock tools like HTC has done. HTC is a little more "developer marketed" but lets be real, they still drag there feet when ever they can or feel pressure from the big 3.

That leads me to the Carrier's, they do not want to sell phones marketed to developers that are easily hacked and modded. they want control. Google should want to sell the most units they can within reason. This means helping the developer community with there goals and helping the OEM's and Carrier's with there's. Google should be (and I think they are) trying to make android more marketable to the masses and then lead that marketing campaign by example.

Its like that old saying, "alone with your principles". You can stand here and say that the OEM's should do all the advertising but it doesn't change the fact that they aren't doing what needs to be done and google need to sell product that is dependent on the platform. They are an advertising company so do they sit back and hope HTC and Samsung start talking more about there product and doing more to show how it will improve our lives or should they step in and show the OEM's how its done, at the same time increasing the value of there products
[General Topics] MissionImprobable:
I think a lot of your issues are going to be solved for the mainstream with more Nexus devices rolling out. The other great thing is that as more people start looking at Nexus flexibility and timely updates the more other OEMs will be forced to follow suit if they want to stay viable. It seems Sony and to some extent HTC and Samsung are pretty serious about both the hardware and update side of things so anyone else will just have to play catch-up.

As a whole though some of these things will continue to persist. One of the draws of Android devices is having smartphone abilities without ridiculous cost. There will always be people who want the goodies but don't have a lot of extra funds and those devices will simply be a little behind the curve. With the optimizations coming via Jellybean though OEMs won't have the excuse of claiming that newer versions are too complex for older phones and I would hope that they continue to push updates for a reasonable period.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Stupid post. Why? Because you have no clue what android is. Android is an open source operating system. OEM's take android, and just so you know, they don't need google's consent, and manipulate it the way they want to put on their hardware. Google has no say in what they do to it, how they arrange their buttons, or the UI that they add to it. So your post is more directed at OEM's than google.
[General Topics] dB Zac:
if you read my post you would have seen I acknowledge that some of these issues are a side effect of open source. They do in fact charge for the "gaps" suite. all hardware sold with gaps on it has paid licensing to Google.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
So? Google gets no say in how they manipulate the OS. I mean seriously...battery life? How the f*** could that be a google issue?

[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Ok let me help you out.

#2: Actually, Droid branding is owned by motorola, therefore they will only be using blur UI.

Marketing: Google is not in the business of advertising an OEM's phone. That is up to the OEM and the OEM only.

Ease of use: Apple owns a patent that breaks up the long text AFTER it is typed. Therefore, it would be illegal for Android to use it. Example invalid.

Conclusion: Verizon sucks.

You really did not point out 1 thing that google has control over in your whole post.
[General Topics] koooba:
http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/03/14/android-isnt-really-open-its-just-less-closed-than-apple/

Google only cares about advertising (and like to snoop in on what you do, say, what you buy, where you shop, visit, etc... ) of course.

But they do have pretty good control over Android.
[General Topics] dB Zac:
1st off, "droid" always running blur was not the point and incorrect. Verizon owns the "droid" name, as it is licensed to them by Lucus Industries. hence the HTC phones under that same brand name. I was commenting on the superior advertizing and Branding that Verizon did. The Droid 1 was a great vanilla phone that did well in a large part, due to advertizing. The verizon campain made "droid" a household name, more so than "Android".

2nd google can advertise features and the OS without advertising a specifice peice of hardware, windows does it all the time. Also, since google does have Google branded harware (nexus), they are in the hardware biz and should advertize aas such.

"Verizon sucks" based on what I can only emagin was your reasoning for this statement, I'm sure all major cariers "suck, not really the point here. Out of all the cariers, Verizon, furthered the android the most in the last 3 years out of anyone. Only now is Samsung beging to be the leader in promoting the android platform.
[General Topics] Raul77:
I agree with you on this, anyone who ask me what phone to get, i personally recommend iPhone UNLESS the guy knows his stuff, i myself LOVE android, been using it for 3 years now but i am software developer and very much familiar with kernels and bootloaders and and and , someone was aksing me the other day, since Android has much bigger marketshare, why everything comes out for iPhone first?

answer is simple, as a developer making things for iPhone is sooooo much easier, you only have "ONE" screen dimension to worry about, you only got 3-4 phones to worry about which 90% of them are similar, now compare this with android phones !!!

and last as everyone mentioned is advertising, personally i think google and all manufacturers do a HORRIBLE job promoting , remember when iCloud came out? nothing new really, just another DropBox, but Apple made such a big deal about it, everyone was AMAZED !!! same with siri, and so many other things,

Personally i think iPhone WORKS, its great for people who dont think outside the box, they want something that WORKS and thats it, they like to be TOLD what to do, how to use your phone , and they follow it.

Android is for thone who like to explore, install custom ROMs , play with OC/UV , etc.
[General Topics] nicholas1520:
I actually came from a blackberry, where in convention they make and market their devices.

When I switched to android now essentially Samsung was giving me their flavour of what they call android through Touchwiz and I really hated it.

Google should really take sometime to ensure manufacturers aren't dumbing down the platform for consumers and give users a clear overview of how it can serve them. Which is exactly what Google does with its Nexus.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
That whole article was about the marketplace...not the OS.

Right now, the droid branding only applies to Motorola. No other OEM uses that branding on Verizon. THEY ARE NOT IN THE HARDWARE BIZ! The Nexus is contracted out. Google does not make the hardware. One more thing...define emagin for me. I was able to read through the rest of the mess you typed, vut that one really stood out for me.
[General Topics] Nigeldg:
Really? Having a healthy debate is great, but you're just being uncivilised and insulting him here. Saying that you can't understand a clear typo? When people sound stupid, I can understand questioning spelling and grammar but in this case it's downright pathetic. Also note that you yourself said 'vut'. Please define that for me :P

Back to the OP, I think some of the things you're saying are valid as are some of the things the other guy says. Overall though I still largely agree with the things you said in the OP especially about advertising more. So what if different manufacturers have control over different things? Surely Google should be better at getting across their USPs which are central to all Android phones?
