software solving an issue of things I do .... - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

there is a list of things I often take care of (from small to big ones, I think it does not matter) .... but as they are occuring with different frequncy I would like to keep a list of them (make it 100, I do not know many) to:
1. avoid inputting each item each time I need it
2. keep the list of them for review (to look whether sth has not been done recently, so I need to assign some time in 2 days by placing into the calendar/agenda, let's say, to make it happen again)
3. keep track of few things that need higher priority (so I am aware when last time I have done it) and more attention
Am I imagining things or there is a simple way to handle that by in-bulit functionality ??? or else ...

Sounds like you need a heavy duty PIM or Task Manager to me:
Take a look at the following:
TaskPlus v1.33
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/taskplus.shtml
Taskview Today
http://www.developerone.com/pocketpc/taskviewtoday/
Agenda Today
http://www.developerone.com/pocketpc/agendatoday/
The Big Boys:
Pocket Informant
The ultimate in Personal and Business Information Management.
http://www.pocketinformant.com/
Agenda Fusion (PIM)
http://www.developerone.com/pocketpc/fusion/
I'll add a Project Manager just in case:
cyRisk
http://www.cywren.com/
a new application for mobile
project managers. cyRisk complements Microsoft Project 2000/2002 by
automating many risk management processes: identification, analysis,
planning, tracking, etc.
HTH

thank you very much for your extensive answer, apart from major item I have been looking for ... I am pleased with that project management link - I'd definitely follow that link as well

Virtual Orienteering - Find your way.

Allow me to quote egzthunder1 which described very well the application's scope in Android applications area.
If you are as clueless as I am about this whole concept, the first thing that you may have thought is: “there is a typo in the article’s title”. As it turns out, this is an outdoor activity where people will determine a path to follow and will try to make it in the least possible amount of time. This can be done either walking, by bicycle, or car, a good sense of orientation, a map, and a good compass.

The Android client is in beta testing but the Windows Mobile 6.5 client is stable and can be downloaded from http://vorienteering.com/downloads
Virtual Orienteering is formed by a team of passionate developers, lovers of nature and surrounding environment.
Together we try to create a large community of curious beginners in discovering the joy of this game, as well experienced players of real orienteering sports.
Everything we offer is free, all you need to do is register (very easy to do) on www.vorienteering.com make a track, download the application for your smartphone and start executing it. After that, if you want you can post a message straight to Twitter of Facebook so that everybody will know what you did The best players will be on top so everyone can see them.
Video tutorials on how to use the site and the application are coming in the next days, but it should be pretty easy to use it. Just give it a try. We also have a feedback button and you can tell us what problems or ideas you have. Every feedback is welcomed. Together we can improve the whole concept.
This community has done so much for me since I join, I'm glad that with VOrienteering we can offer you something in return.
Thank you xda-developers for the chance of showing out application.
Ah... did I mention that you can earn badges ? See you in top 10 users.

HowTo ... get answers and contribute

How to get answers efficiently and be helpful at the same time
I have been eagerly following this project for a while now, and gleefully confusing retailers when they see android pop up on my WM phone. There are several people who put in an exceptional amount of effort into this project, and unfortunately there seem to have been an influx of users lately who seem to be fairly effective at frustrating them. Often, instead of seeking answers already clearly identified within this forum and learning from the discussions, they step into an otherwise productive thread and ask to be brought up to speed, or to have their problems solved for them. Usually these individuals are well-intentioned, but are lacking the knowledge both of where to start learning, as well as how to be helpful. I hope this post is helpful in recruiting the many well-meaning new users into becoming active and helpful contributors in their own way, while answering their own questions and solving their own problems at the same time.
I think it's reasonable to assume everyone should do Step 1, and it would be nice if most people would also do Step 2. Step 3 is for individuals with some programming skills and a willing to learn the technological challenges at hand.
Step 1: The Basics, and asking questions well
Many, if not most of us here on this forum are driven here by curiosity, and kept by the challenges faced in this project. When we first start, there often is a very low level of relevant knowledge and understanding.
The very best place to start is the FAQ. It will help orient you to XDAndroid, and will answer many of your questions - so it's a great place to return to and do some reading.
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Faq​
Next, fortunately, we now have an excellent post by ryannathans on an introduction to Android – SD Card. If you haven’t yet read it, please do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980079​
You may also be interested in browsing and referring to the XDAndroid wiki:
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page​
Finally, a useful thread to read the first few posts, search with your questions, and follow the most recent few pages is the main FRX06 Page. (This will probably change to a new thread when FRX07 is released)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951962​
Once you’ve understood the key elements to getting your Rhodium (aka Touch Pro 2, Tilt 2,e tc) running Android, and know which model phone you have, you should probably install the suggested current base system (FRX06 at the time of this writing). Use it, learn about what works and what doesn’t, and do as much reading about your questions as you can. Almost everything has already been discussed on either XDA Developers or PPC Geeks. On XDA Forums, go to the main rhodium android page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=589), and click the 'search this forum' button in the top right.
If you want to look a bit broader, or use a more familiar search engine, use Google, and if you need to, constrain the searches to the given sites (substituting “ThisIsMyQuestion” with your question).
GOOGLE site:http://forum.xda-developers.com/ ThisIsMyQuestion
GOOGLE site:http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/ ThisIsMyQuestion​
Look first, and take the time to read. Even if you don’t find the specific answer (unlikely), you will learn a lot. I found it incredibly helpful to make an account with XDA developers so that I could identify and subscribe to the various important threads and be able to see when there have been new posts on issues I was interested in.
Now, if you still have a question, then find the appropriate thread and ask it. To pose a useful question, you need to be clear, concise, and specific. (Being polite always helps, as well as being patient)
Try to ask your question as simply as possible (ie, how do I enable/do ThisCoolThing on my Rhod 400? I am running FRX06, with _____ modifications on (SD Card / NAND / etc). I’m on Telus/Verizon/etc (CDMA / GSM). It is often a good idea to state what windows is running on your phone (ie, EnergyRom WM6.5, or stock 6.1, etc...), as some of its drivers/settings are occasionally relevant. If there seem to be some situational factor that seems important to you, briefly mention it (ie, everything worked until I did xxxx) If you have gone ahead and done something silly like overclocking your phone, state it, as it may well be a complicating factor. (hint: Don’t. ... At least not in Windows Mobile).
Secondly, try to make sure you get to trying everything suggested to you. Unfortunately, good advice is often overlooked simply because the first item didn’t fix the problem, or the solution seemed too time consuming. You may be asked to delete your data file – don’t worry, you can back it up, and if it doesn’t work, simply replace the new file with your old one. Installing a backup application such as Titanium Explorer (from marketplace) helps backup your apps and their data, speeding their re-installation (and saving you from having to re-download them).
Remember that by participating in this project, by installing new, testing versions, you are not receiving a polished or supported product. You are contributing to a community, and your few hours it takes will pale in contrast to the hours and contributions others have put in. If you do put in this time, as well as do some background reading on the issues and post your findings/solutions, you very likely will help advance the general understanding of the problems at hand.
Step 2: Provide Log Files
This may help you in getting an answer, but to be even more helpful, if your question or problem is new, or is something that hasn’t been solved yet, then having logs will help those answering your question to not fumble blindly. It may even help provide a better build for the next release.
How to get the log files:
Install ADB and DroidExplorer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099481​
From your command prompt, after the phone is connected, grab your logs by typing the following:
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
adb logcat -b radio -v time > radiolog.txt
adb logcat -v time > logcat.txt​
You can learn more about logcat, if you're interested, at:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/logcat.html
It is then a good idea to edit these logs to remove personal information (ie, your phone number from radiolog.txt (search for it in notepad/wordpad - it's 10 digits, no dashes, in my logs; your email address may appear in the logcat.txt, although I haven't found mine there). To simplify matters, I just do a search & replace for my phone number and email address, replacing them with XXXXXXXXXX.
If you're interested in catching an error in real time, you can omit the storing to file option, and the information will be displayed on the screen, continuing to report until you terminate the process with ^C (control + C)
If your computer isn’t able to find adb.exe, then you may have to either set the environment path to where you installed the android sdk (or where droidexplorer installed it), or simply type in the full path to execute the command
ie: C:\android-sdk-windows\adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt​
Once you have these files, upload them along with your question (note, the files will be created in the location from which you executed the adb command), and an answer may be found much sooner. If you want to look particularly good, read the logs first, and find the areas that you think are involved. Cut and paste the relevant sections into the body of your question, and say ‘I think the problem is this...’, and you may get an answer even sooner.
Step 3: Cutting edge / bleeding edge
If you’re really eager to help, or are simply really frustrated with a problem and have some coding ability, then this step is for you. First off, know that when you start to play with fire, you may cause problems with your phone, so make sure you keep everything backed up. Titanium Explorer is a common choice to backup your applications and their data onto the SD card, and it may be a good idea to backup the important contents of the SD card too, as they have been known to fail on their own.
If these instructions don’t make sense to you, then think twice if you’re wanting to become involved at this level. This will require some coding ability, and if you want to build it yourself, you`ll need a 64-bit recent linux installation with >1 GB of memory free.
The source code for XDAndroid is located at:
http://gitorious.org/xdandroid (git://gitorious.org/xdandroid/manifest.git)​
And there’s several branches from there that contain the useful areas of development. For example, jbruneaux is working on the new audio routing (and thus you can see/follow/contribute to better solutions there), and Howard Chu is working on a variety of hardware issues.
Useful reading can be found at the XDAndroid Wiki Page:
Getting the Source: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Getting_the_Source
Configuring the Build: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Build_Configuration
Building and Packaging: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Building_and_Packaging​
If you’re eager to help out with coding, spend some time getting familiar with android first, then ask around or pick something that grabs your interest and get working on it. The IRC is a great place to chat with some of the other developers/contributors, and a few others communicate directly with each other about specific challenges.
irc://chat.freenode.net/xdandroid​
The project owner of XDAndroid is Brian Stine, who’s blog often helps give some perspective on what is happening behind the scenes (http://southcape.org/).
Please let me know if there’s any changes you’d suggest to this. My goal is to round out the other guides that have been created with the goal of facilitating clearer communication and increased participation in development.
Great guide!
Couple of suggestions.
It's adb logcat -b radio, not adb shell logcat -b radio. Also, add -v time. Also add regular adb logcat, again with -v time. Also might want to mention the "things to scrub" from these logs - email addresses for example will show up in regular logcats, a whole slew of personal things show up in radio logcats. Seems like a good place to make people aware of that
That's all I have for right now, bravo!
Thanks Arrrghhh,
I had been using adb shell logcat until now, and hadn't noticed I could just use adb logcat - thanks for pointing that out. The -v time is an amazing tag - I wish I had been using that up until now, it's great to isolate when a problem happened. Too bad that's not an option for the dmesg. I've added your suggestions to the post - though I can't seem to find my email address in my current logs.
Cheers.
Great Post!
Hopefully n00bies shall read this
I think "READ THE FAQ" should be included somewhere in Step 1.
Thanks rpierce99, you're right it should be right at the top - and now is.

[APP] Spawt - A Location Bookmarking App for the Droid RAZR

Hi all, I'm a Singaporean developer and I'm here to tell you that I'm sick of idiots posting/bragging their daily life on Facebook, I mean, if you want to do that, why not do it so that I can ACTUALLY use that information next time? Thankfully, I'm a developer and I can actually do something about it.
WHAT IF, those stupid FOOD pictures taken at the restaurant actually POP UP the next time I am hungry and near that area? WHAT IF those slutty clubbing pictures could actually help me pick a club when I want to go? So here's my solution.
Spawt is a location-based experience bookmarking service so now you could actually point those idiots to the app and actually end up building a beautiful scrapbook of experiences that you and your friends can mutually share and discover.
Features
- Bookmark a great experience by creating a Checkpoint.
- Contextually discover interesting experiences from fellow Spawtters based on your current location.
* Spawt believes that your friends' experiences matter more, so your Facebook friends' Checkpoints will be treated as first class citizens.
- Builds a catalog of Checkpoints that will serve as a scrapbook of experiences for when you need an inspiration on what to do next.
- No need to create a whole new social network, leverages your existing Facebook network.
* Note, we send NOTHING back to Facebook, your privacy is MY topmost concern. (I should know, I'm a Facebook cynic.)
Download the app and tell me what you make of it, and most importantly how I can go on making it better for you and your friends. Search for "Spawt Beta" or get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jdHJsZWZmIl0.
PS: Oh did I mention Galaxy S2 kicks ass?
PSS: Oh also, if the app does crash, and it will, please click Report so I can fix it so you can swear a little bit less when the next update comes.

Time tracking app with parallel timers needed

Hello,
I need a time tracking app. There is a lot of time trackers on Google Play and I've tried a lot of them, but in every app I missed one important feature: parallel timers for different clients and jobs.
I need:
- to define my clients, to define my jobs I do for the clients, to define projects.
- to simply choose client, project and kind of job and then start the timer
- to simply start and stop MULTIPLE timers (start and stop one timer, while second timer is still running)
- to export all data in usable form (for billing my clients)
Example of what I mean:
- My job is phone support. I am sitting at home and answering phone calls. I am payed for hours, so I need to start timer and leave it running almost all day untouched (except of lunch time).
- Because I spent most of the time by waiting for calls, I simultaneously do other jobs. I write articles, compose music and do some other work for other clients. So I need to start and stop timers according to actual work - but the "phone support timer" has to be also running. When I am - for example - writing an article and someone calls me, I need to stop "writing article timer", pick up the phone and solve customer's problem. When I drop the phone, I need to start "writing article timer"... etc...
This kind of app with parallel timers I've used on my Psion PDA back in 1998, but I can't find similar app for Android phones. Can anybody recommend me the app I am searching for? Thanks a lot.
Hoi,
i am using for nearly the same actions the App StopWatch.
On an older device i used Multi Timer PRO, but for some reasons? it isnt availabale at the Store any longer, and i didnt find my Backup.

Which StopWatch exactly? There is a lot of apps called StopWatch on Play Store, maybe hundreds. 8^)
Hoi,
its this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.stopwatch&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcG9ydHN0cmFja2xpdmUuc3RvcHdhdGNoIl0.

TSheets Time Tracker
Check out TSheets Time Tracker (tsheets.com) you can set up multiple job codes for your clients and projects and click to start and stop each one. When you set up your account just make yourself two people (!!) - "Mr/Mrs scalex.cz Phone" and "Mr/Mrs scalex.cz Article Writer" so the clocks can run simultaneously...
Check out the free app Timesheet from LlamaLab. It can handle multiple tasks active simultaneously.
See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217159
Hi
Try out with the time tracking apps from Replicon. I have been using the same from a very long time and have got cool experience with the same on my work schedules.

AndriodOAP Project

Hi all
This is my thread for an ongoing project im working on called AndroidOAP
OAP is not Owesome Android Project, lol
This is Andriod Old Age Pensioner!
But WAIT!! This may have many applications to other areas in the caring community!
Background
My mum is 75 and has early stage altzimers. I have noticed a lapes of memory, eyesight and hearing. I have also just got her a 10" rk3066 4.1 tab for xmas.
The aim of this is to help her keep in touch with family and friends (social networking), keep up to date on the weather/news (she loves it), keep her mind active (games).
Aim of Project
This project has a few aims, guided by anyone who wants to contribute. some of which are :
BASIC
- Creating a simple UI that is easy for pensioners/handicapped people to use
- Identifying simple to use apps that perform complex tasks
- Utilise the accessibility capabilities of android specifically for the users needs
- Monitor the device remotely
- Monitor the users interactions and provide alerts (IE medication, doctors apointments, etc)
EXTRA
- Create a working rom that can be installed on devices that can be given to the target audience (OAPs, disables, etc)
- Obtain ongoing support for this project
This will probably not interest most of you but anyone willing to contribute to this nobell cause will be very appreciated
Please get in touch with any ideas
Thanks for your time

If I read this correctly, you want to develop an OS based on Android, but one that is extremely simple to use? All I know is that this would be an extremely time consuming project, probably half a year at the least, because you'd have to remove tons of drawables (images and stuff that is rendered) and code, and add in many more. It would be much easier to just install a launcher with big icons, change the system font size to the largest possible, perhaps use some accessibility settings, and debloat the tablet to the max.
Has your mother ever used electronic gadgets before? I forget the saying, but it's something like you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Considering that these types of electronics didn't exist during older peoples' generations, it'll be significantly harder to get them accustomed to such things. I don't know if I'm stereotyping or not, but it may be increasingly difficult to teach her how to use Android because she has Alzheimers. I'm not saying it's not worth a try though. As long as she doesn't feel overwhelmed or frustrated, I'd say to definitely try it out for a while and see how it goes. Happy holidays and have a happy new year. I hope your gift does good for you all.

Thanks for the input dude, but, I think your over complicating things. A custom rom doesnt mean rebuilding it from the ground up! The aim is to find the most user friendly apps and the best settings and then create a rom around that. no need for new icons, etc.
Just to let you know, even though my mum is 75 she has been a nurse all her life so is well versed on using computers (hell, she brought me up and im a developer, lol). Touching icons on a screen will be no problem for her, altzimers or not. To be fair, you are stereotyping and its pretty sad
Regardless of the support I will continue with this as its a personal project that I will persue. I was just after any help I could get, not negativity.
Have a nice day

Hi @Cass1977, I see your project as a great initiative to encourage older people to use technology. Although this project might be huge (and I don't have the tablet to test), I might be able to just provide suggestions for your project.
In the Basic section:
Simple UI: It should be easy, due to the fact that many launchers today are user-friendly and easy to use.
Simple to use apps that perform complex stuff: do give some examples.
accessibility capabilities: I don't know of much apps for that (there could be some in the play store) but once we attract the attention of some developers, we can start rolling.
Monitor the device remotely: what do u mean exactly?
Isn't monitor the user's interaction same as the point above? Correct me if I'm wrong.
More suggestions:
Create some tutorials for some complicated apps.
Better colour profile.
Less bright screen=less strain to the eye in low light conditions.
Bigger font=less strain to the eye.
More suggestions will come as I think of them.
Smack that thanks button if I helped!

Good advice, but I feel too many launchers have too many options. the main thing the user needs is simple to access apps. Maybe large icons, etc.My mum likes her news and weather too so simple widgets may help with things like that (A lot are provided with the apps).
TTS will be required too (Text to speech). Maybe an app that will speak highlighted words? Probably have to be built?

By the way, By 'Monitor the device remotly' I mean basically the same thing I have with my kids tabs. Screen Time (MASSIVE RESPECT TO THIS APP!!!) It monitors what my kids do on their tab and allows me to lock it at certain times and give them chores to earn rewards. NOT the same thing we need here, but, thats the kind of monitoring im thinking. Monitoring medication (pop up reminder and if its not used a remote notification)
Any more ideas you have then let me know, Many thanks for your input

I can help test launchers according to what u want and report back. Widgets are easy. (Most news apps has widgets.) There may be some apps for TTS designed for this but it's rare (if not none). (TTS apps are extremely complicated) yea, we might need to build it. (Build from Google voice search, possibility)
OK... I'll have to search it up on Google. (We may have to build from another app...) we can build from Screen Time (add some features into it, we could ask Screen Time's developer for help!)
P.S. I think editing a system file can increase the maximum volume of the sound...
