[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
hello xda. i'm a new android developer, and this is my first android app. i've been doing web development for 14 years, and this is my second mobile phone app (first was for windows smartphone 5.0).

the idea is that i wanted a quick way to view and open my browser bookmarks. usually, one has to open the browser first, possibly wait for it to reload whatever page was last viewed, open the bookmarks view, and find your bookmark in an unsorted list.

my solution is a lightweight app that simply displays your browser bookmarks, allows you to sort them in various ways, lets you search by name, provides the ability to edit and delete them, and gives you the option to choose which browser to open them with. you can quickly open any bookmark with two finger presses. one to launch the app, and one to open the bookmark. it's nothing fancy, but it does save a little time.

the app shows your system bookmarks, so you are looking at and managing the same bookmark database that the default browser uses. any changes made in either this app or the browser, will be reflected in the other.

for a little icing on the cake, you can choose a background image for your bookmarks list. i like to use my home screen wallpaper from launcher pro.

if you find a bug, or the app crashes, please post a detailed description of what happened. reports like "it crashed" or "this sucks" don't help me. please try to reproduce the problem, and post the steps required to do so. also please state what device you're using, and what version of android you're running.

the app requires android 1.6 or above.

this app is licensed under this creative commons license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/

changelog:

1.2 - share a link from any app with Bookmarks Light to create a new bookmark. you can also now share a link from within Bookmarks Light.

1.1 - add new bookmark feature

1.0 - release version. no code changes. now in Android Market!

0.9.3 - fixed force close on eclair (2.1). added move to sd ability for froyo.

0.9.2 - added tips dialog. license change. gingerbread compatibility. app renamed to Bookmarks Light.

0.9.1 - added "about" dialog, and changed names of tabs
[Android Apps and Games] Captainkrtek:
Cool stuff! Will write it up for the XDA portal hopefully get you some testers :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
great, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
anyone? bueller? i need a few people to at least install it and confirm it works on some other devices before i release it on the android market.
[Android Apps and Games] overground:
So far working great. On Miui 12.03. Wonder if you could set default browser for each bookmark and note it next to each in the list? Nice job! Like the wp choice too.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
thanks. glad to hear it's working. i uploaded a new version with minor tweaks. upgrading is unnecessary, unless you feel like it.

i did consider saving the choice of browser for each bookmark. that would require a separate database to store that data, since there is nowhere for it to go in the system bookmarks database. perhaps a feature for version 2.0.

Works on HTC evo
[Android Apps and Games] dre89:
Works fine on my Moment, but I get FC when I press about in the menu
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
Wow, perfect. I also use LauncherPro gesture on browser icon to show bookmark pop-up.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
Interesting. What version of Android do you have? Custom rom, or stock?
[Android Apps and Games] epakrat75:
Awesome! Downloaded. Going to try it on my SGS Vibrant running 2.2 JK6. Would love to see this app also available as a scrollable widget that could occupy a whole empty home screen if resized by Launcher Pro Plus and the like.

UPDATE: Tried all six menu options and all Tabs. Multiple browsers. Installed quickly without issue. App responds well and scrolls smoothly. No FCs here. Well done!
[Android Apps and Games] mynicksucks:
Installed on MIUI 0.11.26, I really like it so far. All buttons are working.

Suggestions for upcoming versions:

-Folders

-Thumbnail view

//Edit Export/Import, yes
[Android Apps and Games] CoyoteTech:
I would like to see the ability to save and restore my bookmarks.

That is one of the pains with doing a wipe when trying new ROMs - having to restore all the bookmarks. Of course, the saved bookmarks would have to be to an sdcard file or online since the wipe would get them if saved in app stores, right?

[Android Apps and Games] popezaphod:
Works well on my Droid 2. Make it import my Dolphin bookmarks and I will be your best friend. :)
[Android Apps and Games] gab1972:
I'm assuming this utilizes the bookmarks already on your phone? I sync my bookmarks. So, say I sync them using an app, will this still pick up my bookmarks?
[Android Apps and Games] DesireFreak:
Real nice app! Works great on my desire.
[Android Apps and Games] dully79:
+1, and also if possible an option to import/export bookmarks.

Running perfect on my GSM Hero/ floyo 1.1.9 rom.:)
[Android Apps and Games] felixchess5:
Working smoothly on G2 ;) Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] torres76:
Hey sweet thanks like that you can add a wallpaper, works great on galaxy s rommod v9.
[Android Apps and Games] Doxola:
So far, so good

Working well on Dinc, SkyRaider 3.3.3.

Looking forward to the implementation of the browser-selection-per-bookmark option.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
glad to hear folks are enjoying the app. thanks to you all for testing it.

i'm hearing a lot of good feature ideas. i wasn't really planning on putting a lot more work into this program, but now i'm wondering if anyone would be willing to pay 99 cents for a "pro" version with import/export, persistence of per-bookmark browser choice, folders, and maybe a home screen widget?

i'm unemployed at the moment, and will be starting a job hunt soon. however, i could justify putting off getting a job if i can make a little money on this app. please leave some feedback about whether you'd pay for a pro version!
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
yep, it shows you the bookmarks from the system bookmark database. what sync program are you using? as long as it's syncing with the system database, my app should show your up-to-date bookmarks.
[Android Apps and Games] mynicksucks:
I think I'd pay for it. But a pricing like 0,49€ would let me press the buy-button with less thinking. Don't know how much you get from that value, but imagine 50k downloads...
[Android Apps and Games] pingels:
I'll pay at least $2 for the import/export and i guess per-bookmark browser options. Dont really care about the per-bookmark one yet (I mostly use the stock browser), but whatever. I cant speak for others but you'll be giving android users something they dont have already. Another thing I'd pay (more than $5) for would be periodically syncing with my google chrome bookmarks...
[Android Apps and Games] dully79:
I'll happily pay a few £££'s for a scrollable widget and import/export options.
[Android Apps and Games] epakrat75:
I'd definitely pay 99¢ for a resizable (a la launcher pro), scrollable widget alone and import / export alone. :D

EDIT: While I have access to the Bookmarks widget that came with Launcher Pro Plus, I like your app better. So, having a widget replacement of it would be awesome! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] o4kareg:
Installed to Tattoo. No FCs, works fine till now.

Feature request: bookmarks import from Opera Mini, Dolphin, etc. And as for Opera Mini, wish Bookmarks to import quick launch icons as bookmarks, too. Thx in advance! Would even pay for it, though we, Russians, usually don't pay for software :D
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
new version uploaded

if anyone can help translate the app into other languages, please contact me

it sounds like a pro version is a good idea. i will see what i can do. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ishkarioth:
I'd love to use this app and maybe helping to translate to spanish, but get FC every time I try to tun it.

HTC Hero on Android 2.1 (original spanish Orange ROM)
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
there was a problem with the app on eclair. thanks for finding that. uploaded new version.
[Android Apps and Games] o4kareg:
0.9.1 FC on About window. 0.9.3 - problem fixed.

Also, I placed your app at one of Russian Android forums, maybe, we'll find translators into Russian so :)
[Android Apps and Games] torres76:
I would pay for a pro version problem is i always get charged more for an overseas transaction fee.
[Android Apps and Games] ijustbme:
I'd pay for it. this app works great
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
Bookmarks Light is in the Android Market! uninstall the version you downloaded from this thread, and install the version from the market. it's the same version, but i think you need to install from the market to get update notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Works great on a Desire HD.

Dave
[Android Apps and Games] ishkarioth:
OK, working perfect.

Now we can talk about this translation. PM me or tell me what to do.

If you take requests/feedback, I have two things:

First, tab text color keeps white when active tab background goes white, making it hard to read.

Second, I don't know if is possible to set categories/folders within Android bookmarks...

Downloading now evo running myn's warm two point two

Sent from the evo collective via cybernetic implants
[Android Apps and Games] o4kareg:
Glad to see this app in Market. Re-installed 1.0. Go on!
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
new version. you can now add new bookmarks from within the app. please test, and give feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
new version - 1.2! if you try it, PLEASE post in this thread noting whether it works for you, and your device name and version of android. help me out - don't be a leech.

there are two new features:

1) if you "share" a link from any app, and select Bookmarks Light, it will open up the Add Bookmark dialog in Bookmarks Light. this could be handy for Dolphin users. dolphin keeps it's own separate database of bookmarks, but you can create bookmarks in BL by "sharing" the link from dolphin.

2) you can long press on a bookmark in BL, and choose Share Link. this is like sharing a link from any other app. for instance, you can share the link with Gmail, and email it to a friend.

enjoy!
[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
I'm using a wifi adapter on my Xbox and using the hot spot on cyanogen 6 to tether it. It says the Nat is modarate and needs open. How u do this?
[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
Is this possible?I'm connecting to Xbox live and can do everything except join a game in call of duty.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
Wow.. I wouldn't even have thought about trying to run Xbox live through the Aria's tethering! Good for you! Now getting open NAT will probably be difficult, because usually it's a setting in the router that needs to be changed, but in your case the router is your Aria.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
There's a video on this site showing how to set up Xbox Live using your Android Phone, but they use PDA Net and run the connection from the phone to a PC and then to the Xbox. It's 13 minutes and I didn't want to watch the whole thing to see if it addresses NAT, but it might be worth a view.

http://phandroid.com/2010/06/28/how-to-tether-your-android-phone-to-connect-to-xbox-live/
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
...and another one. Also using the PC in-between.

[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
I had PDA net but laptop broke so this is my only way is wifi tether. I actually can pick up my neighbors wifi but only when he is there. I dunno if it has some kinda idle mode or what.
[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
So no way to fix Nat settings?
[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
Dang I guess that's it...
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
I've tried searching on how to do this but haven't found anything. I wanted to change the DNS servers that my phone uses for 3g/1x data. Maybe someone that is a little more knowledgeable with Android can help out. The closest thing I've found in trying to do this is in the /system/etc/ppp/ip-up file. It seems that this is what sets up the DNS servers and other items when you get a connection for 3g/1x. Could I just change the following lines and replace $DNS1 and $DNS2 with the servers I want to use?

NAME=${LINKNAME:-"$1"}

/system/bin/setprop "net.cdma.ppp.interface" "$NAME"
/system/bin/setprop "net.$NAME.dns1" "$DNS1"
/system/bin/setprop "net.$NAME.dns2" "$DNS2"
/system/bin/setprop "net.$NAME.local-ip" "$IPLOCAL"
/system/bin/setprop "net.$NAME.remote-ip" "$IPREMOTE"
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Anyone have any ideas if this would work?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dolinas:
After I make a call the screen goes black for few minutes and the phone does not responding at any keys.

I have WM 6.5 3.14.479.2 the official build and I try a lot of Android build but I have the same problem. When I start a call the screen goes black and no answer from any key minutes after the call is ended. After 3 to 10 minutes the keys working and the screen is on again ...

Where is the problem ? Proximity sensor ? No such problem on WM only on Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OrionCarl:
try holding it up to the light see if it comes back on, latest kernal dont have this problem i think!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pedroxxx:
I am not sure if everyone has this problem

I have also noticed the same problem. Even worst it is in Desire HD builds, screen stays off all the time and removing battery is necessary to restart the phone.

But it is only when the call was finished on my side by pressing HW button. Software button is of course not visible because screen is off.

The only workaround for me is wait till call is finished on the other side of the line, then the screen turns on again itself :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] potsykate:
I as just going to post exactly the same thing,especially on HD versions. Going off those at the moment,as I've now bent my battery contact pins.

I thought it was something I was doing wrong.

Going onto my 5th diff rom this week,, cant help but try them all as they are so good and different in their own ways.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dolinas:
It is not posbile to disable proximity sensor so the screen remain on when I start a call ?

Agree with you the problem is more annoying with HD builds.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
mine still says Sprint

Looks like a new version of the Android Market is being silently pushed out to devices running Froyo, complete with a "Similar" tab to find related applications. While we can't see behind the curtain, it's pretty certain that there's more on the way, either with Gingerbread or as an addition to existing versions of Android. (And, yes, this looks like what we saw in that Gingerbread video earlier today.)

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-market-similar-apps
[EVO 4G General] oxeneers:
This doesn't replace the Sprint tab on the front Market screen, only adds a "Similar" tab under each app description so that you can find similar apps for the one you're looking at.

[Nook Color General] sark666:
I have a friend who is visting the US (I'm from Canada) and I asked him to pick me up a nook. Not finding clear info in some of the reviews, mainly concerned about charging.

This charges over usb when hooked up to your computer right? Just want to make sure it doesn't use a proprietary cable for charging. I read on the ipad side, that older computers don't give out enough power to charge over usb, is that an issue with the nook?

What adapters/cables does it come with exactly? And is it just a standard mini-sub for the charging?

Also, this has a headset jack correct? I've read no bluetooth, I guess there's no way to get a mic working on this then.
[Nook Color General] sisith:
Micro USB, will charge VERY slowly using a computer. Includes a 2amp wall socket and special cable to quick charge (still micro usb, just more pins). Has a headset port but does not come with a headset.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
I've only had a few mobile devices. I read the ipad can charge over usb if the mobo supports giving out that extra juice. Some mobo's have a new firmware update to enable this.

The connector is micro-usb but just more pins. Hmm. so if the cable breaks or I misplace it no other micro-usb will charge it?

edit: i read a little more and found that it's 30 pin proprietary cable to speed up charging. I also read the galaxy tab does something similar.

Does anyone know if they use the same pin configuration? probably not, but I can get tab usb cables here.
[Nook Color General] ixampl:
I know you didn't ask for it but I'll tell you anyway ;)

In case you are worrying about registering your device (mandatory at initial setup).

I'm NOT in the US and it worked fine.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
Good to know. Thanks.

But I'm more concerned about charging it and relying solely on their cables.

I read the ipad can trickle charge on newer computers but some wouldn't provide enough power. Asus et al have released utilities to increase the power to the usb ports.

I can't post the links but endgadget has an article about it providing links to those utilites. They just talk of apple devices but does this work with the nook?
[Nook Color General] ixampl:
It comes with a charger for US-type sockets and only if you charge your nook with this (and yes, it is proprietary :() it'll charge quickly. It does seem to charge when you connect it to a standard PC USB port but at an extremely low rate.

On the device Micro-USB (not Mini) is used.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
You say it does seem to, do you mean from personal experience? How slow? It sounds like that if you do own one it was so slow you didn't let it finish.

Like if it's 8hrs overnight, I can live with that, but I want to confirm that there is a plan b and not solely rely on their cables.

And as I mentioned asus and others released utils to give more power output to the usb (although these seem like their were only created for ipads). Wondering if those utils speed things up.

for ex, google asus ai charger to see what I mean.
[Nook Color General] ixampl:
I received my nook Color a mere few hours ago so I can't tell you a lot about its charging behavior :( It "seems" to load slower via standard USB... if you want to know about the details check one of the large threads on the NOOK and its rooting. I remember reading some information about the USB connector and its peculiarities there.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
Ah you just got it. I see.

I found this on the root thread:

'

"There are 12 pins coming off the connector. It looks like there are no pins for the standard micro USB portion, only the extended 12 pins. 2 pins are used to bring in +5V, 2 pins are for signal ground providing a hefty circuit for the 2A charging. USB takes up two pins, and as far as I can tell 2 more are for each LED via current limiting resistors. Two more pins go to discretes that I haven't identified, and two more pins are unconnected. I'll take my scope to them when I have some time."

Not sure what he means when he says no pins for the standard micro portion...
[Nook Color General] ixampl:
Maybe the plug doesn't have standard USB pins, but the NOOK itself does have standard USB pins as well as the proprietary ones. Because I have trouble inserting the original B&N plug, I went out earlier today and bought a standard Micro USB cable...

I connected it to the nook and it said "not charging", so I went out to do some shopping (10-20 minutes max) and left it at 89%... when I came back it was at 93 %.

So it DOES in fact seem to charge albeit slowly.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
Thanks. It's weird, lots of comments of its own cable not fitting properly.

As long as it charges with a normal cable I'm good.
[Nook Color General] ixampl:
I guess it is charging... however there is a slight chance, that it's NOT charging and the battery charge display is lying (de-calibrated). I don't think so, but I'll only know for sure after a few more days of using only the standard USB charger cable.

I flashed stock firmware. Didn't fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iacopo91:
my phone is bricked too, but your isn't really bricked, you just have to download Odin, 512.pit, 812.pit, JM8 fw and JPO fw.

1) Go in download mode (press volume down, the front button and power button, at the same time);

2) Go Odin and tick Re-Partition, select 512.pit, and JM8 fw, and press Start;

3) Turn back in Download Mode;

4) Go Odin don't tick repartition, select 812.pit, and JPO fw, and press Start;

[Vibrant General] nearblack:
Hey guys, just wanted to make this little post, as it will probably be my last on this forum.

Yesterday I traded my Vibrant for a Nexus One...

I just want to use this post to say goodbye to the Vibrant community. Since I no longer have a Vibrant, I won't be coming to this forum too often.

The phone was fantastic, and I really did love it. It performed flawlessly, and it was a true beauty. I just moved to the N1 because of the dev that's out there for it and the nice build of the phone. I wish I could have both.

I want to tip my hat off to all the developers that there are the this phone.

Eugene, Master, and Team Whiskey (that I can recall) really brought this phone to life, along with everybody else that contributes to this community.

Thank you all so much for being the ****ing brilliant group that you are, and hope to see you around elsewhere.

- nearblack
[Vibrant General] Five0nIt:
Im thinking of making the same trade. Nothing against the vibrant, just want to try something new.
[Vibrant General] nearblack:
I would definitely advise you to do it.

The N1 really is a collectors item, and has some really great features.

The development for the N1 is unmatched and is guaranteed to get gingerbread.
[Vibrant General] Five0nIt:
How much space is there for apps? How is the N1's screen compared to the vibrant
