Can you post the apk for me I have a kindle fire HD and the play store doesn't work for me thanks

sent from my unrooted kindle fire hd
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Yes. That would be a nice thing. I will implement a popup that would be enabled in the settings activity. However I will not use exactly Xbox sound due to copyright issues, but I'll look for something cool nevertheless.

Noted.

Yes. I will add that option. This way the UI would look much cleaner.

I'm sorry. I tried fixing it but apparently it didn't work. I added some debugging but they didn't make the update. I will add more today and publish it.
[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
Strange, did you add extra code to the settings?

Maybe my device does not support that string of code.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Yes I added. Could be. I made some changes during the updates. I will add more debugging and then after you update you would be able to see where it fails to load and hopefully why.

Bug was solved and regarding photos, in the weekend I will get my hands on a phone where it's not working (on mine it is) and I will do some debugging so I can fix it.

ideas & suggestions

thx for phonechievments, it really is fun!

what i wanted to ask you: since it seems that you are open for suggestions for achievements, do you already have a place/list/whatever for users to put them in to? wouldn't it be useful to have something like that instead of having all the suggestions here in the thread? would keep this thread clean for reviews, bug-reports, changelogs, problems and similar. maybe a suggestions-area in the app and additionally a voting-area to vote for these suggestions would be cool, too. on the one side that would take some load off of you and on the other side it would result in even more user-engagement.

i don't know where you wanna go with your app, but a way to maybe make profit could be achievments as ads: developers/companies could contact you and you would put in their app for money as part of a phonechievement, for example stuff like "play game xyz for 30 minutes in a row", "complete the tutorial and its examples in app xyz" or "place all versions of widget xyz at least once on one of your homescreens". that would be interesting for developers/companies cause this way would ensure users to really take a look at the product and not "only install" it. just my thoughts, though...

a few suggestions from me for achievements:

-group-achievements: achievements a user can't get alone/on his own

-special time-based achievements: stuff to do on eastern, halloween, xmas, friday 13th and maybe others which are not so obvious (birthday of android, stuff like 21.12.2012, etc)

-combined achievements: flash a rom after achieving steam powered (a bit like last words), keyboard addict while eco friendly plus close call, etc

-superstitious: clear battery stats, placeboss: clear battery stats five times

thx & keep up the good work!

greetz,

[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Thank you for posting so many useful ideas. They sound great and some of them gave me some other new ideas as well. Very nice suggestions and I would like to add that regarding suggestions I have a list planned in the new profile website that is under construction. There will be a box where users will be able to post their suggestions/achievement ideas/etc.

Regarding monetisation, for now there is the Donate button. I really am not a fan of adds and secondly I will not add such a method while the app is still under development and not stable for everyone. Nevertheless I will think of a way to reward and support my future work but I will choose one that will not be invasive for the users in any way. I hope I will come up with a good solution and I hope those who like it will help by donating in the first place. As for companies using this as an advertising method would become possible only when I reach a certain number of active users. For now they aren't enough.

I like very much the idea of group achievements and I will think about a method of implementing it.

Thank you for taking the time to think and put together these ideas and more are welcome any time :)
[Android Apps and Games] MrBC:
I just had a thought or two. How about one to track updates of apps. And how about a screen on achievement for 4, 5 and 6 hours on a single charge.

As for a donate version why not simply do what a lot of themers do and just upload a donate version that is exactly the same. Perhaps have a hidden achievement that unlocks when you open it for the first time. But other than that they are exactly the same.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
In order to be able to upload an app for money I have to complete some forms and provide some tax related stuff that I cannot. I am not from USA and things get a little complicated. In my country I would have to file for a tax payer number and provide a lot of papers and forms and it's a very long and painful process and there's also all the account stuff that I would have to do each month. That's why I prefer the Paypal donation option, it's pain free...
[Android Apps and Games] Acerbus91:
Sadly not working with gosms on PA jellybean. Is not counting messages
[Android Apps and Games] monkey hung:
Looks like an awesome app, but based on the pictures you have in your original post, I don't like the idea of installing something to unlock an achievement. It's too easy, it's not difficult to achieve, and it seems pretty pointless. Is there a way you can make it say "get to level *insert level here* in Angry Birds *or any other game*"?

Same with the Reddit Is Fun. Too easy to just "install an app". Something else must be done in order to make it a little more worth while like "Make 10 threads using Reddit Is Fun app" that way people can try out new apps and new things and they take their time to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
You are right. But regarding Installed Apps achievement I'm afraid there's nothing more I can do. You don't have access to other private apps so I can't really see what you're doing inside that app.
[Android Apps and Games] Rican Bx Bomba:
Uninstalling and installing fixed my crashes..
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Just published a fix for the GPS issue in the next update. It should be available soon:

* GPS Battery usage reduced drastically. Now GPS is queryied only once every 10 minutes or once every 5 Km. If GPS has signal, then app will get location and stop querying for the next 10 minutes or 5 Km. If signal is not yet established, app will try for like 30 seconds and then stop and try again in 10 minutes.

Those who were having this issue please let me know if this helped or should I add a higher values.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Please give it another try after the latest update. I added a second method of counting incoming sms. My guess is it has something to do with some sms apps but maybe with the second approach will work for you as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Rican Bx Bomba:
Working for me.
[Android Apps and Games] hanschke:
can you do a achievements sync between phone and table? so I dont have to install for example all angry birds game on my phone only for getting this ;) because it is installed on my table
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
This is a feature that would require some sort of user based authentication. This could be included in the website feature I am working on. You will have a user account for sharing your achievements on the online profile and this profile would the be accesible from each of your devices allowing you to sync. So long story short, it will be a feature in the upcoming versions. You can leave this achievement for that time :)
[Android Apps and Games] fabokid5922:
Hi, nice app with exciting achievements...can u add an achievement based on the number of times the phone is switched on or off
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
You mean the times you switch on the display (bring it on from sleep) or actually power it on/off ?
[Android Apps and Games] Acerbus91:
Well now it counts messages sent. We'll have to see about received. Also how about a "close call" set of achievements ( number of times you phone has almost died) also maybe a set of zombie ones (phone has hit 0% and turned off for more than an hour before being charged and turned back on)
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, those could be an option
[Android Apps and Games] Acerbus91:
Nope, still not seeing received.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Ok. I completely changed the way incoming SMS are counted. I implemented counting received SMS messages identical to the way I implemented sent ones so if sent worked for you, received should as well. I am publishing the update soon and I am waiting for your feedback. Also others please confirm that it is still working for you as well... I hope this will work for everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.04 is out there

What's new

Added two new achievements in a new category: Disco Disco Boom Boom and Truly Lost

Fixed some crashes and bugs

Added actionbar icon for the Settings menu for newer Android versions that support it. Older ones still have to press menu to bring up the context menu and get to the settings

New possibilities introduced by adding more counters

Reworked counting of received SMS as someone reported it wasn't working for him. (please report if any issues)

What's under development

GPS switch to allow you to permanently disable GPS query for this app. You can enable it only when you wish

Crash fixes

Profile website with sync features (you will be able to save your progress and also sync it between different devices)

More achievements (of course)

Two new achievement types (Randomchievement and Hiddenchievement) - more details when ready

Twitter integration

All of the above except (more achievements) which is always under development are being ordered by priority, first having the highest priority

Thank you all for the suggestions and feedback you provided and all your ideas are being taken to the GREAT TODO list I have and at some point when they fit in they will be added to the app.

Please continue to bug me with feedback and in case you are having crashes, the more details you can give me the better chances are to fix the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Acerbus91:
Well now it works both ways! Thank you :3 already got the disco achievement lol although when trying to prank my sister we noticed that it didn't count the messages sent from spam cannon. Counted the received ones though
[Android Apps and Games] batano:
Just looked at my Battery drain 41% caused by Phonechievments while having GPS active for 4h and 15m!

I hate asking for ETA but i ask because i don want to delete this APP but there is a massive battery drain...

is it possible that you just do a small update and built in this switch? You cann put all the other fetuares later into a major update!

Thanks for your Work :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
As a matter of fact I have an ETA for you. It's NOW :laugh: (well actually aprox 1-2 hours - the time it takes for Google Play to publish the update). Please let me know how it works for you.
[Android Apps and Games] meshoe:
Ha ha, I did the disco disco achievement also. I see that the on/off button still works :D

Great app, it reminded me that I have a smartphone and I can do a lot of stuff with it :)
[Android Apps and Games] romitkin:
Thanks for the great app!

A suggestion : In my opinion, the location-based achievements could also rely on WiFi/mobile location instead of GPS. This type of location service is indeed less accurate, but I think it's accurate enough to determine the city and country.However the altitude-based achievements still need a GPS signal.

My phone would never connect to satellite because of a design flaw, and many Vibrant users have the same problem, could be with other phones too.
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
I got a 30-50 meters accuracy with mobile network + wifi, so it's not a bad idea.
[Android Apps and Games] Wells.p:
Donate achievement is maybe a good way to donate this way you get money and it is a donation so its ok with the tax or doesn't work it that way?

<= $0.79

>= $5

>= $10
[Android Apps and Games] Xirix12:
Yea that is a good idea! Cmon I need more achievements. 4g is currently being rolled out in my city so I feel generous! Haha
[Android Apps and Games] Acerbus91:
Hey any chance of including a screen touching achievement? Maybe by utilizing an app like phone addict?
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Yeah, if it is a donation there's no problem with taxes.

Ok. I will add location based on Mobile as well.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.21 is here

What's new

* Added new phonechievement: ABC

* Fixed the notification so it will take you to the unlocked phonechievement when you tap it

* Other fixes

* Added some debugging info for the settings activity to help solve a reported issue
[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
The settings list now shows up. :D

I unlocked the ABC achievement once I have updated and I have all the applications in alphabetical order, hehe...
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Yeah. I actually found out where the issue was coming from and I fixed it :) Glad it's working
[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
So what was the issue? O.o

Can there be an achievement for creating 5 shell scripts (.sh), that would be awesome. :D
[Android Apps and Games] ivanpu:
ABC unlocked, while I was thinking, what to install for L.

:what:

So I now have the achievement, and still no L-app.

How can I help debug this?

:D
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
I know about the issue. It will be fixed in the next update. It was caused by the fact that you have an app starting with a number or another character and that compensated for L or for any other character. I will restrinct this to letters only. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
To help you out when the achievement is locked again install Google Maps and then it will give you a shortcut with the name 'Local'. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.22 comes with new goodies

What's new

* Added new category: We are stronger together

* Added new phonechievement: All for one and one for all

* Added a new Hidded phonechievement

* Added changelog: You are reading it now :)

* Added preference to show or not show the changelog after app update

* Fixed a minor issue with the ABC phonechievement
[Android Apps and Games] ivanpu:
Thanks, but I've found something:

I have app "Live Wallpaper Picker", that does not have icon in launcher.

Looks like I'll not need to install Maps :)
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Moderated Phonechievements

Since adding the group category (where you will be able to unlock achievements by doing group tasks with other users) a new idea came to my mind: moderated phonechievements. What does that mean? Well... phonechievements that would be very hard, if not impossible to implement (due to phone limitations) but would be fun to have (e.g. Grab a drink with 4 other phonechievement users or do a video promoting phonechievements or take a photo from a high building etc...). This type of tasks would require the user to send a proof by any mean to me (the dev) and I would verify it and add the achievement directly to the sync profile. Then you would be able to sync and get that phonechievement on your phone as well.

This could open up to a lot of crazy and fun ideas :)

So what do you think :confused: Please use the poll to vote

PLEASE NOTE: every proof would have to be made public ... this to ensure transparency of course.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Nice idea. You know you'd have a ****load of emails and pms, right?

Anyway. I already have one idea: Take a photo/video underwater. I think the ones you mentioned (by drink or promoting would be hard, but).

Not based on this, but another ones would be speed ones. The phone, with GPS, can have a idea of your speed. Based on that, could be interesting. Obviously you won't be able to be driving (you don't want people and police and such coming to you).

You could also share with us the progress on adding the suggested achievements. Like a queue list.
[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
I thought Phoneachievements only detect applications with icons. O.o
[Android Apps and Games] Scooby00:
AW: [APP][2.0+]Phonechievements

I'm on v1.22 and if I click on the notification for a new phonechievement it doesen't lead me to the phonechievement. It only opens the app...

Gesendet von meinem GT-N7100 mit Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
It counts all the non-system default apps by the label name (the name that appears on the shortcut in the all apps display)
[Android Apps and Games] romitkin:
No need to install maps, you can just search for "L" in the play store, and you will get some apps that start with L.
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
On the ABC phonechieve, it says I only have 19 letters covered, in my app drawer though I count 22... Lolwut
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
There are apps that do not count because they are considered system apps (e.g. Gmail, Youtube, etc.). Please note that not only Google made apps are considered system apps. All apps that come preinstalled in the ROM (even for custom ROMS) might be considered system apps. I will release an update tonight that will include in the description the missing letters to ease things up :)
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Could also mention in the description that system apps don't count lol :)
[Android Apps and Games] romitkin:
Do widgets count as apps? (trying to get the "high capacity phone" lol)
[Android Apps and Games] chreddy:
I guess everything that can be installed from the Play Store or sideloaded counts as an app. Not sure though, but that would make the most sense :)
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
Mmmm looks like sharmaneeraz is cheating :P

Latest phonechievements:

A Trip To Remember

Explorer

From Paris With Love

X City

Y City

Z City

Travel Addict

Perhaps a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] Xirix12:
I was just thinking the same thing, but about jonathan.bruha he had 55 yesterday and now 65? Oh well it is helping the All for one and one for all Phonechievement.
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
He made the same phonechievements. Maybe they found an app to cheat the GPS phonechievements
[Android Apps and Games] Acerbus91:
All it takes is a GPS spoofer. And having allow mock locations enabled. Some apps have the ability to detect that setting (ingress anyone?) Simply disable GPS query if mock locations are enabled
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.23 is out

Thank you for the hint.

What's new

* Fixed some exploit with GPS achievements

* Added info regarding letters missing for ABC achievement

* Updated Spanish, German

Regarding the GPS achievements, I will think of a measure that I will take against those who used the exploit. It's true, the app allowed it but as in today's modern games, exploits are not tolerated by the devs and are often punished using a ban system in order to keep "the game" fair for everyone. It is quite obvious that someone that unlocked in a matter of minutes all the location based achievements that it was an exploit.
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
True, but personally I wouldn't punish the ones who uncovered the exploit while it was open... As far as they're concerned, it was fair game.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Yes. But I am not sure if you are aware for instance how Blizzard or Valve deal with these situations. For instance if you discover an exploit in one of their games, it is ok to report it. However if you continue using it, then you get banned and you lose your account :/

I implemented a method that excludes from TOP 50 the ones that used the GPS stuff. Now I am waiting on some input from you guys and I will act in consequence.
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
Right, 8 unlocked achievements with exploit is far too much.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Yeah...

And one more thing. Please do not post any exploits you find publicly. Just PM me and report them so I can fix them, but do not make them public because some will just take advantage of them. Thank you

Also if you helped discover it and reported it it won't be a problem. Just don't abuse it afterwards...
[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
I have forgot to mention that the Navigator achievement was automatically achieved even if I had 11 access points saved..
[Android Apps and Games] MrBC:
I understand about your paid app/donate options. When I have a bit of free cash I will send a bit your way.

And I agree about taking a line with people exploiting the app for gain. I did consider using a GPS spoofer but I did not feel right about doing it. It is cheating and really at the end of the day makes light of those who the right thing and really get that achievement.

And speaking of loopholes I know of one which I will PM you regarding (if anyone asks me about it I will ignore them)
[Android Apps and Games] romitkin:
Does this also mean it won't be possible to use an external, Bluetooth GPS receiver? ( In Android the use of a 3rd party app is required, which connects to the GPS receiver and gives mock locations to the phone, to make it 'think' it's still using the internal GPS receiver).
[Android Apps and Games] Acerbus91:
I thought you could go into settings, then location settings. There is an option of GPS source there with no need of mock locations. That might be on ICS and higher though.
[Android Apps and Games] _Variable:
Can you count pictures saved in ext sd card in the high defenition achievment? Not really into using internal for camera.

Theoretically it should count external as well. However HD achievements are not working for now on some devices and I am currently working on a fix. Stay tuned

Feature request ;

Please make the achievements titles bigger. I mean"App addiction" or "Byte Surfer". They are so tiny comparing actual acvhievementsç
[Android Apps and Games] MrBC:
That's because they moved it.

Coming up in the next update

Popup notification with Card UI interface:
[Android Apps and Games] bmtdan:
Nice! A friend of mine just suggested quadrant based achievements?
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.24 is out

What's new

* Added Polish

* Added popup notification with Card UI. By default the notification is disabled. In order to enable check the settings

* Added new phonechievement: Update Manager

* Some other exploit fixes

Card UI Popup notification:

Each new unlocked phonechievement is added on top of the stack. If you swipe a card it will be removed from the list.

If you tap a card it will open the app.

If you want to close the popup either use the home or back button or swipe all cards from the list.

I am still working on the photo based phonechievements and also on some WhatsApp implementation. Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
If a user tries to cheat by modification of the files, will the application force close with the IllegalException Java error to make sure they don't cheat?
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
In theory it won't throw an exception, it will just reset all stats
[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
Will the data come back after they sync?
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Yes. Sync data cannot be deleted by the user. You can always recover data using sync. However not every data is syncable. You will lose stats that are not syncable but you can not lose unlocked achievements, even though their data is not syncable.
[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
Interesting, a good way to troll the cheaters, hehe...
