This would be a nice setting
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
IT LIVE!!!

Hey everyone, GeekBytes is now on the Play Store!

Edit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.techtalk.mschussler
[Android Apps and Games] Marshy919:
Main thing in common between this app and flowly - and the one posted above is...

Its all made by a very simple app builder - http://www.appyet.com/

So if you don't need specific websites on the app. Make your own, takes 10 minutes :)
[Android Apps and Games] hhlady:
What about GSMArena.com?
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Sorry guys, back on the Play Store! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.techtalk.mschussler
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
Not seeing it in Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Sorry, looks like there are still some issues, it should show up in the next few hours AT the most! Please keep checking back! I'll post back on here when its back up. Sorry again.
[Android Apps and Games] FoferX:
For what it's worth, I am seeing it in the Play Store just fine... clicked then link above, and there it is...
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Should be there now!
[Android Apps and Games] pavik62:
Please add the largest Russian site http://4pda.ru/
[Android Apps and Games] Sezyara:
Good app!

Hello. I like this app. Please, add 4pda and other russian sites. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] syedtahir16:
Brilliant

This is brilliant. Smooth, fast and the user interface is awesome. It would be great if users had the ability to select/de-select the forums they want to have. Fantastic work! :) Love it

[Android Apps and Games] TheWMDev:
Just a suggetion

hey dev,i just have a suggetion request to add news corners for other OSs(ios,windows,linux,firefox) also.It will improve the app and also the popularity or you can just add all the the tech at one place.I support the devlopment :o KEEP IT UP, and hope you will listen my post.
[Android Apps and Games] codified:
Can you explain the permissions?
[Android Apps and Games] droids@m:
I was about to write the same about Pockenow searched the thread and found this :D:D:D
[Android Apps and Games] :
When is geekbytes coming for ios as well ?
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Lol wow... Gotta love people hijacking your thread.....
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Hey bublz, that would be a little ways down the road.
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Hey guys, I was planning on making this a pure Android news app, but do you guys think it would be better to make it an all around tech app? I am going to setup a poll, I hope people will vote!
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Alright polls up guys, please vote!!
[Android Apps and Games] uppon2:
I chose the middle selection. I know the sites I mentioned focus on Android pretty heavily but do have some apple garbage,

Add the most popular tech sites but not all of them; just the cream of the crop
[Android Apps and Games] FoferX:
Stick to Android news only. There are plenty of very excellent RSS newsreader apps out already, most of which allow the user to select precisely what sites and feeds to include. And there's no set "list" that everyone will agree upon, anyway. uppon2 just above me calls Apple news "garbage" and yet others, like myself, may appreciate following that sort of news. So why would you want to get into the business of trying to pick what appeals to most? I'd say, pick one the specific category of Android news, with a tightly curated list, and leave it at that.

Given that your app is created with AppYet just like the others (mentioned via aforementioned thread hijackers) there seems to be a limited range of how much customization/differentiation is going to be possible with GeekBytes, anyway. Therefore, don't try to compete with the more full-featured, custom-built RSS newsreaders out there. Your app would only end up getting lost in the shuffle.
[Android Apps and Games] droids@m:
Sticking with Android only would be nice I guess nobody over here cares about other systems anyways but pocketnow daily coverage is pretty extensive brings all the tech & rumors stuff of the day together would be nice to see pocketnow... Keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] anthonyg45157:
Love this app! Def gonna become an app i use often. Please keep it Android news related only...i have google news technology section for a more generalized news feed.

Keep up great work! Love the black theme. Scrolling is smooth. Interface is clean. Thankyou
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Dude for real get off my thread! Have some respect, dang!
[Android Apps and Games] HumpDdumpD:
Just installed it, but so far it looks wonderful. Very smooth and predictable behavior. I will definitely be following and using this app for a while! Thanks Dev!!
[Android Apps and Games] samvithvr:
I think you have summarised it perfectly! Developer - please take note.
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Thank you for you feedback everyone, and I agree we need to keep it Android only, so this will remain an all-in-one Android news app only.
[Android Apps and Games] FoferX:
This app has been mentioned at least 3 times in this thread. It's poor form at this point. It may be a great app but each time it is mentioned here, I think less of it.
[Android Apps and Games] Latheman:
Please leave this thread and make your own for your app. We don't need this thread hijacked all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] udit96rc:
Ha ha AppYet.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
Thanks for the fantastic app! Also for the dark theme. Please keep it Android only.
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Thank you, and I decided to leave it only Android.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
That's great news.
[Android Apps and Games] Wh1t3Rose:
It's very disrespectful to advertise your App in Another Developer's thread. Have some decency!
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Working on a Pro version, with no ads, updates first, few extra sources, and some different categories! Looking for it later tonight!
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Alright, the Pro version is uploading to the Play Store now, it will be up in a few hours. I'll report back when its up!
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:

[Android Apps and Games] hhairplane:
Any possibility of including source in the little blurb-currently includes Headlines, short 3 sentence caption, date, time and comments. I tend to really like the articles by Androidpolice, but in the app's current state I still find myself going to the website itself or scrolling down to the Name of the Website category. I realize this is probably more of a niche feature, but having the option to do so would be much appreciated. Furthermore, some websites tend to publish more reliable leaks than others, which is nice information to know. Being able to quickly differentiate would be much appreciated.

Also, is it possible to turn off certain websites?

Thanks so much this app has been pretty amazing so far and definitely a must have.
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Hi, thank you for downloading the app! For the source I'll see what I can do, and as of right now you cannot turn off the feeds.
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
So I want to get your guys's thoughts about an update.. What do you think about consolidating all of the sources into one? so that they aren't all there in the menu. It would just show as one, but would have all the news I have now, so one for news, YouTube, podcast, root info and maybe others.. thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] FoferX:
I would like the option, to see them all together (a consolidated list of articles) or as individual sources (separated by site.)

I don't think offering only one over the other is the way to go. And if you had to pick one, I'd leave it as is, with each source site having its own list of articles.
[Android Apps and Games] hhairplane:
I prefer what it is now, or a choice.

Also, it would be great if expanded notification was supported. I keep trying to expand the notification to get the headlines of the first few articles, but keep realizing it's not there. Definitely would improve app quite a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] y0himba:
Purchased pro, looks and runs great on my Droid Turbo.
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:

[Android Apps and Games] y0himba:
It is actually kinda meh. There are issues with it, which are covered in the Turbo forums here. I had to return my first one.
[Android Apps and Games] cybernetus:
There is a way to migrate the data of Geekbytes to Geekbytes pro?
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Hi Cybernetus,

Do you mean your starred articles? If so, as of right now there is not unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] cybernetus:
yes, the starred articles. But i solve this copying all urls and 'starring this' on my read it later.

[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:

Added Phandroid forum!
[Android Apps and Games] Unknownkj:
Good source of tech news,love it
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Great app. Some suggestions as implemented in other such aggregaters:

This downloads 10s and 100s of mbytes of data.--> data usage and battery drain. Might want option to pre-download only title (and blurb) of articles. The whole thing when I chose to read it.

Option to pre-download only over WIFI

Option to pre-download only when plugged in
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Hey there Dovidhalevi,

Thanks for the feedback, if you go into Settings > Synchronization and uncheck Automatic background sync, this will help with the battery and data usage. Also you could check the three Wi-Fi options (or just the ones you want) and those will help with data usage as well. Updates to come. :)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] hhairplane:
Hopefully expanded/detailed notifications will be coming soon...
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
+1

Now for the UI. This is a really nifty app but reading through the numerous articles is very tedious. Maybe a swipe right to delete, left to archive (keep, mark read) instead of in addition to the long-click menu. Had the app fail trying to delete all read.
[Android Apps and Games] cybernetus:
Anyone have problems with the widget when you have more than 100 articles unread?

The widget shows an error : widget not loaded
[Android Apps and Games] paarthdesai:
material design would complete the app :)
[Android Apps and Games] jibinj:
Pease add phonearena and pocketnow

[MENTION=4414567]grilledbacon32[/MENTION] Can you please add "Phonearena" and "Pocketnow".
[Android Apps and Games] jettimadhu:

[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
Update coming soon, will come out to pro version first, then free.

Hi Elnrik,

This is strictly used for statistics. this allows me to see how many people use my app, at what times, what countries, what devices use it the most, and the best information it gives is how many crashes there are. There is no personal data shown or gathered what so ever, I can not see the device ID or anything. All the information is pulled in and displayed with Google's tool at - https://www.google.com/analytics
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:

I have been using this app for many years, moving the APK from tablet to tablet. Unfortunately the version that I have 4.0 is now force closing and no longer appears-usable, I have no idea why not. Does anybody have a more recent version, or any idea why it may be Force closing?

Did anybody tried rooting using towelroot form geohot??

also did anyone try the safetrap recovery used in the s5?

Towelroot does not work....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
I tried a couple days ago and it didn't work. Which is exactly what I expected but I wanted to try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Loglud:
It is theoretically possible to make towel root run* on the Note 4. This does not mean it will work. If someone wanted too they could dpkg the towelroot.apk and change the scripting to enable the root exploit on the Note 4 if it is in there. The other option would be to dpkg it and pull the binary, and then use adb to run the binary on the phone. If I remember correctly he used libexploit.so to run.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Vortex_User:
i wonder has anyone tried editing the machine code or editing it at all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] graydiggy:
They patched the exploit used for 4.4.2 in our current 4.4.4 version. Even if you can get it to run, like I have, it will either FC or do nothing at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Snakeisagod:
I'm pretty sure the exploit towelroot used was blocked sometime in June. Everything says it should work on most phones with kernels older than june 4th, so I just assumed kernels after that were unfortunately fixed.

I wrote this app mainly for fun and to explore android, but I thought I would share it here in case anyone finds it useful.

HasItChanged is intended for personal use when a website you're interested in updates irregularly, but you still want to know when it changes. Instead of firing up your browser only to find nothing has changed, let your phone do it for you!

While the app does have the ability to keep track and notify you when a site goes down, it is not intended to be a professional uptime tracking tool. Please don't use for sensitive or critical purposes.

Features

Ability to specify individual update intervals

Utilizes Android's built-in sync mechanism to reduce battery usage [This requires the Identity Permission]

Doesn't just check to see if it's up (although you certainly can); only be notified when the website changes!

Utilize HTTP content caching technologies to reduce network usage

Control specifics such as connection timeouts and network usage

Supports HTTP/HTTPS/FTP connections

No ads. Open source. Feel free to contribute!

Please submit bug reports via Github. Feature requests welcome! As this is a purely hobby project, no support is guaranteed, although I'll certainly try to do my best!

Play Store
[Android Apps and Games] Fabian Rï¿½ling:
Bug report

The app doesn't work for many websites, for example mojang.com, YouTube channels or YouTube Playlists. Every check if the website changed gives a positive result, so I keep getting notifications for those sites. I tried with smart compare on and off and also cache on and off.

[General Questions and Answers] ryantju:
So i'm trying to unlock my bootloader on my LG optimus 4x HD (p880) Running 4.0.3 ICS

I've installed my adb & fastboot.

But when i try to do commands from fastboot it says: Waiting for device...

Tried it on my pc (win7) linux & on another windows 7 in virtual machine...

Still fastboot wont recognize my device

Can't really find any solution :(

I tried:

- usb 2.0 / 3.0

- run CMD as administrator / run ternimal with sudo

- windows 7

- windows 7 clean installation

- linux (ubuntu & debian)

Can anyone please help me.. I want CM so badly
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Your device must have "USB Debugging" enabled.

All drivers for your device must be installed and make sure your adb and fastboot files are not corrupted.
[General Questions and Answers] ryantju:
USB debigging is enabled
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
[MENTION=6094674]ryantju[/MENTION] And what about the others. Make sure the drivers for your device are correctly installed.
[General Questions and Answers] ryantju:
Yeah i did it all.

what i tried is to update my phone to JB v20b

and whenever my phone wants to get in recovery mode i get this screen:
[General Questions and Answers] root-expert:
Are you sure you have reboot your phone to bootloader mode...? If not type:

adb reboot-bootloader
[General Questions and Answers] ryantju:
Doesn't work :(

some people are telling me to update to JB first.

but whenever i do that i get the notice error listed above
[General Questions and Answers] root-expert:
Can you recognise your device with adb... If not try to reinstall your drivers...
[General Questions and Answers] ryantju:
Yes adb sees my device and i tried reinstalling, using another computer & using linux nothing seem to work
[General Questions and Answers] root-expert:
When you type the command:

adb reboot bootloader

Does it actually reboots to bootloader... With this command should work...! :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] ryantju:
I don't know what i should see. The command works and it reboots but after that the fastboot commands still don't work
[General Questions and Answers] root-expert:
What do you see on your screen...?

Also have you tried this command:

adb reboot oem-unlock

I think you have to have a JB version...
[General Questions and Answers] ryantju:
hmm well than i need to wait for an anwser from LG.

Thanks for the help :)

I've seen quite a few people with much better screen on time on stock rooted roms too. I'm not sure what is going on with my device but I suspect it has to do with my crashing the phone when I first got it. I was stuck on a Tmobile screen when I was trying to root the thing. Not sure what happened but I'll give this firekat a shot.
