Re: [APP][2.2+]MyColorScreen | New Updates! [v1.62][24Feb]

Try to reinstall.

Download aLogcat from Play Store and if you're on Jellybean. Convert it to system app first. Open up MyColorScreen, which will then crash. Then go to your aLogCat app and send me the logs. I'll try and fix the crash if possible.

If you're unable to get the logcat or don't know how to, I'll PM you a special version of MyColorScreen. But try the steps above first.

Thanks!

Re: [APP][2.2+]MyColorScreen | New Updates! [v1.62][24Feb]

Ah, i think there's something wrong with the checkupdate function. Try unchecking the auto check for updates in Preferences. Then restart the app.

I'm not home currently. I'll have a look at it soon.

Edit [irrelevant to FC]: There seemed to have some problems with the gallery. For example, page 2 is loading page 1. Will have a look at it soon.

You're welcome! Sorry about the crash earlier on!

I'll have a look at it. Then probably push a small update or together with a big update later this month.

Flava69, update me if it works for you as well!

Re: [APP][2.2+]MyColorScreen | New Updates! [v1.62][24Feb]

I apologize if this has been asked... But will mycolorscreen.com login support be added to allow account access and uploading abilities?

Huge Wallpaper Collection
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
I really am not 100% sure about this. As I said before. MyColorScreen have no API that I can access. This app grabs data off the website's gallery as it is accessible and viewable by all. I can try to add in login support but I'm pretty sure it won't last long. I'll have a go at it when I'm free, but for now, I'm going to concentrate on this.

I hope you understand.

Re: [APP][2.2+]MyColorScreen | Minor Updates! [v1.63][3Mar]

Thank you for the quick and courteous response sir. I completely understand and hope it'll maybe be a possibility down the road. I do have another thought.... Would a search option be possible?

Huge Wallpaper Collection
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
I hope I can implement it in the future, but no promise :crying:

Yes, search option is 100% possible. I'll try and implement it in the next update! Thanks for your suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] hsn97:
thanks alotttt for this man! was looking for mycolorscreen app from so long, thanks again! :good: ;)

Edit : when i open a screen it shows nothing ? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Is there any popup from the top that writes "Error getting data" or "No internet connection" or something? Is your internet connection switched on?

Make sure your internet connection is on, and restart the application again. The app should automatically load data from the internet.

Else you think there's something wrong with the app, please get me a logcat :)

Thanks by the way! ^^

The next version should be out in a few days time. Just cleaning things up and adding as much features and keeping it clean and minimal.

Re: [APP][2.2+]MyColorScreen | Minor Updates! [v1.63][3Mar]

No,theres no pop up , connection is fine, it just says no applications or something like that..

Sent from .....™
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
No application? Are you at the single item part? No application means the author did not post/use any application for his screens.

Example :

The top part is the description of the screen, whereas the bottom part is the application list used for the screen. If there is no screen/description, the part will be empty accordingly.

Is your gallery list [when you first open the app] loading?

Example :

If this is loading, everything should be okay.

Please verify if there's still a problem. Thanks.

Huge updates coming tomorrow! Stay tuned!(:

Just finalising everything now.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Hey guys, this may or may not be the final update. Sorry for the long wait too. I know it's been a long time since I've updated this app.

Motivation may be the reason why I did not code much these days. This is the first app that I've completed and done seriously, and before doing this app, I thought this app would receive lots of attention as I know many people are requesting for an Android app of MyColorScreen and that there are many users of MyColorScreen. But after releasing it, my thread has not been receiving much replies, as much as I've expected it would. My friends have helped me to advertise at MyColorScreen's Facebook but to no avail. :(

Alright enough of me being a douche bag. I'll try and continue development of this app for my "followers" and if you have any features request or anything ,feel free to reply this thread or email me ^^

Please like this post so I know I can have your support! :victory:

Very amazing app!!!

Thank you! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Pens and DreamS:
Thank you!

I for one love mycolorscreen.com and bringing this app to life is greatly appreciated. Hope support continues! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Pens and DreamS:
App is coming along nicely! There are some weird grpahics here ans there like some black gradients that I think don't belong but it is a great job! I do have a mayor cosmetic flaw that I think can be simple to fix, the App Icon itself is quiet small and low res. I know it is beta just wanted to point that out. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Reading your comment made my day :') Finally have reports on my app after a long time.

Anyway, what do you mean by weird graphics/black gradients? Can you take a screenshot and show me? Thanks!

I'll fix the icon in the next update! Should be easy after reading some documentation on the Android's site!

Thanks for your comment!

Re: [APP][2.2+]MyColorScreen | New Updates! [v1.70][31Mar]

I get the notification for updating widget even though I don't use the widget. (Tried it and removed it later) no issues with that but it looks weird.

Re: [APP][2.2+]MyColorScreen | New Updates! [v1.70][31Mar]

Here is the screenshot. Was also javing problems getting images from the app today. But that may be net issues in my area but don't know for sure. Anyways the black line at the bottom appears on every photo even when loaded. Don't know if its because of a fheme I have on my s3 or if its the app. Also sometimes one image may load correctly and the next won't and so on.
[Android Apps and Games] Pens and DreamS:
Re: [APP][2.2+]MyColorScreen | New Updates! [v1.70][31Mar]

Here is how I normally would see them on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
This is really weird. This shouldn't be happening because I'm using 9patch image which would stretch the content inside to fix the black box behind.

Example :

I've pm some of the users and hopefully they would get back to me if they have this error too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the loading of image, it's supposed to be like this. For example when I'm viewing image 1, the image would be downloaded into the SD card and shown on the screen. After you scroll down, image 1 would hide to save resources and image 2 will be downloaded into the SD card and shown to you. But when you scroll up again, the default LOADING image would be shown to you first, and then the downloaded image would be fetched and shown to you. So give it some time for it to load. This process would continue for every image you view on your phone's screen.

I'll contact some developer to see if this image loading can be improved! Thanks for your reply! ^^

Yes mate, the dev contracted me by PM, he is on the case now mate!
[Android Apps and Games] tinyXperia:
I contacted you earlier about the widget updating even though there is no widget on any homescreen. Some more issues/notices:

- All screen of the days are downloaded to my sd card (probably this is the widget updating doing).

Will the app still work fine if I place a .nomedia file in /SDCARD/MyColorscreen?

Can you make the folder for sdcard storage not on the root but in \Android/data/com.mycolorscreen? that would make my sd card less cluttered ;)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Drhedphuk:
Great update, the only gripe I have is that when I come out of looking at a screens details it takes me back to the top of the list and not from where I left.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Yeah! I'm having a go at this currently. Hopefully I'll get to the bottom of the image!

Not many people are having this problem. Worse come to worse, I guess I have to remove the black 9patch image :(

Widget - I'm still trying to see why is this happening. Give me a few days to find out what's wrong! Furthermore, I have plans to make the widget as an individual app itself.

.nomedia file is just for Gallery usage. It means not to show up in the Gallery app. Because I'm using custom library which downloads image into the SD card, I guess there's nothing I can do about it :( But there's a clear cache button in the Preference screen which will conveniently clear the cache for you.

That shouldn't be the case. Weird. But I'll still have a look at it. Do you mind trying scrolling down to about page 2 or 3, click on a screen and press back? Does it bring you back to screen 1 on page 1?

[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Guys, I need a help from you all. Since I'll be releasing this app on the Play Store soon [hopefully before the end of this month], I need a new app name as I think the name "MyColorScreen" itself is copyrighted. Thus, I've opened a poll for a week and I need your help to see which is nicer. You're allowed more than one option and this poll will run for a week.

Hopefully I'll be able to get some response and continue with the updates.

These are what I have in mind. Please vote at the top of the thread.

AweScreen

MinimalScreen

SimpleScreen

Others [Please reply in thread]

Thanks in advance! Feel free to post any suggestions etc.

I just emailed the admin of MyColorScreen in the afternoon, asking if I infringed any copyrighted materials. Hopefully he will reply soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Pens and DreamS:
Hey Frenzy remember to change the app icon before release. A higher res one is needed :):thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] housry23:
This is a great app people and keeps getting better with each and every update. Thanks frenzy! I've spoken through email to you, but thought I'd pit it out there in this thread too. I think it would be great to have options to see 'popular', 'most viewed' and other parts of the site as well. Maybe as a slide out menu or tabs. Can't wait to see where this goes. As soon as a donate version is available, I'll certainly buy it to support your work.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Thanks so much again for this reply here :') Appreciate it so much!

Yeah! I'm currently trying to code and put them together. Give me a few more days. Currently I'm adding slide out menu to it and looking well. Will post a screenshot in a few hours time.

Once again, thank you so much :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Bad news : The admin of MyColorScreen did not reply me. I don't know what to do now. Proceed on and upload to Play Store or not :( As far as I know, there should be no copyright materials that I copied. I've given credit in the app too. Furthermore, this app acts like a third-party client to the main website, similar to many 9gag's app out there. So I supposed it's "safe"? Please help! :confused::confused:

Good news : Been porting sliding menu for the past few days. I'm lousy in this kind of libraries so pardon me if there's any FC in the next release. I'll try and test it on different emulators first though. Secondly, launcher icon has been changed. Did this from scratched. It's now flattened with a small beta tag on top of it. Followed the Android Developer guidelines so it should be clear on

MOST

of the phones regardless of size.

Here's some screenshots. Hopefully I'll be able to push an update before my school starts on the 20++ this month, together with the "Category" suggestion few post above.

Lastly, I hope you guys can spread the news of this app with your friends etc so as to gain more users! Thanks!

Sliding Menu

New Icon
[Android Apps and Games] flava69:
Love the icon mate! Great stuff on sliding menu to! Guess it will be a new name for the app then
[Android Apps and Games] c3n_dhol:
great but buggy...
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Thanks ^^ Hopefully you'll like the upcoming app too ^^

Buggy as in? Maybe you can elaborate more instead of saying those 3 words so I can fix it? Buggy as in slow or?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] housry23:
I think you should leave it named MyColorScreen until the admin of that site tell you otherwise. The other names just don't sound right to me. If they tell you to change it, may I suggest "Custom Android".
[Android Apps and Games] flava69:
Yes I love it mate! Just thought of a name to call the app if your still up for ideas? How bout my android screen??
[Android Apps and Games] Pens and DreamS:
Great work man. Looking awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] housry23:
Just wanted to add, I don't see why naming it MyColorScreen would be a problem. There are many Craigslist apps simply named Craigslist and no copyright lawsuits have ensued. Maybe add mobile to the name. MyColorScreen Mobile.
[Android Apps and Games] tinyXperia:
I also tried contacting the guy via Twitter, he usually replies within an hour, but this time he seems to have disappeared. Very weird.

I'd also say, just name it MyColorscreen until someone complains.
[Android Apps and Games] Okluzhion:
Keep up the good work! ;) Also, I don't think leaving the name as it is now would cause you any problems. Btw, I agree adding "Mobile" would be a good addition to the name of the app. Maybe even MyColorScreen (Mobile) Viewer?

Sent from my cracksperia Arc
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
I'm just afraid that the name "MyColorScreen" is copyrighted. Like only the owner of the website can use it to name his apps/website whereas the others are not allow to use it. Does it works this way? Or does he have to sort of "buy" a patent to/for it?

If all else fail,

WE

will come up with a name together! ^^

Weird, because I see many updates on Facebook and their Youtube. Would you mind helping me to contact him if possible? Thanks! And by the way, just asking. How many people are operating MyColorScreen website? Are the people behind the Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and the website the same?

---------------

I think for now I'll just stick to "MyColorScreen". I'm just afraid that when I upload the apk to the Play Store, some one would just report/flag the app for copyright. Furthermore, I'm still a student now and I don't wanna waste my dad's 25 bucks to open an account for me on the Play Store just to get it ban :(

Anyway, just some small updates for the app.

Sliding Menu

done

.

Coding "Offline Mode". So that you guys can view screens even when there's no internet connection. Hopefully this will be done in a few days time.

Category. Will be doing this at the end of this week and hopefully complete it by next Monday/Tuesday.

Widget will probably be an add on and removed from the official app itself.

Thanks everyone for your replies! ^^ Especially those who support me all along since I started this thread! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] flava69:
Change the name mate! I would, sounds like to me your not 100% sure of using colour screen as name of app cuz of your doubts! So I say change name to be on safe side! Should call it my android screen or even my theming app?
[Android Apps and Games] Pens and DreamS:
I'd go with MyColorScreen Mobile like suggested before if you're not so sure or MyOwnColorScreen.
[Android Apps and Games] hsn97:
I guess changing the name would be more problem than leaving it original. Thats because the app will still be connected to the official website and if you change the name so it maybe like you've stolen the work or something (its not like that) but still those guys can think like that. So without making you confused, ill say just leave the name original, concentrate on the app, AND for the safe side just write in the description of the app that it is a 3rd party app made for the fans of MyColorScreen and the original site belongs to the owner. Im sure everything will go fine.

Good Luck.

[Android Apps and Games] dmonzel:
I agree with this. There are several unofficial Imgur apps that use that name. So unless someone complains, I say keep using MyColorScreen.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Ah! This kinda make sense! Yeah I think I will stick to the original name. Then I shall add a description etc that states the screens etc are from MyColorScreen.com and a note for the Admin too ^^ Hopefully I won't meet with any trouble, or worst, my apps get taken down due to copyrights :crying:

If all else fail, MyAndroidScreens sounds good. Ah alright shall not think too much and should now focus on the app itself. :o

--------------------

App update:

Offline mode done! Hopefully there will be no bugs or FCs. Hard working with images as there are limited images/memory the phone is allowed to use. I shall beta test it with different emulators before releasing.

Starting on "Category" as soon as I'm free tomorrow. Gonna be a long coding time as I need to code both the server-side PHP part and the app itself :(

Widget will still be remove.

Fullscreen option will be remove too. I guess nobody actually use it? This will make start up faster by a little.

Oh! If anyone don't mind beta testing the half-done project to check out the Sliding Menu or Offline Mode, feel free to drop me a PM ^^ Hopefully I can fix any bug or FCs upon testing.

Sorry for my bad English!
