[Intro]
The result of a bored uni student on holidays, mConvert is a Windows Mobile unit converter.
And now, Version 2 of that slick, finger friendly converter is out. After much feedback suggesting more categories would be good, I have added 10 categories, meaning you can now convert in the following categories:
Area
Length
Power
Temperature
Velocity
Computers
Force
Frequency
Volume
Weight
Acceleration
Cooking
Energy
Pressure
Torque
This is now a powerful converter app, able to rival many of the other converters on the market. And best of all? It's still FREE!! But as before, donations are kindly accepted (on FreewarePocketPC site).
I have tried to make the UI as attractive as possible, as this makes or breaks an app in my opinion. Hope you like it.
I decided to make the app free as nobody likes paying for this stuff, including myself. The aim of mConvert was not only to make an effective converter for mobiles, but to also showcase the potential Windows Mobile has.

Hi, thanks for sharing this app....and welcome to the forums..
I have just downloaded and tried it out and I must say its the best looking converter I've seen and really easy to use too, works great on my HD2
Thanks again!
No worries mate, thanks for the great feedback!
Hope you enjoy it!
I agree. Simple and easy to use.
Just wondering if you could add weight conversions???

thex,
Thanks for downloading! The reason there are only five unit categories is basically because my coding skills are very limited at the moment. If I was to make a sixth category, it would disappear off the bottom of the screen, as the app does not allow the user to move the screen around, if that makes any sense.
If I can work it out, or someone can reference a site where it explains it, I might include it.
looks great, i hope you can make a VGA version soon, like it was said, this seems to be the best looking converter to date

Hello,
Please ... Can you do this program for VGA? ... Thank you.
Sincerely,
FreewarepocketPC Direct Link
Thankz for this app!
Hi Paul,
If you thinking of adding additional categories, rather than putting them on the same page and having to scroll down, you could always make a new page and add page number links to the top of each (if that makes sense).
it's just a suggestion, but thanks again for the app!
Hoping to make a VGA version when uni slows down, pretty insane at the moment.

Great idea l3mm!
When uni slows down I'll look into that - I'll see if i can add some more categories, and I'll try and make a VGA version - seems to be a popular request.

welcome, u did the work, I just copy/paste
Gets me to think of uconvert .. pretty close
Would it be an idea if the predefined converting options would be read from an XML file?
This way others can add to this list.
Very nice looking app!
Btw just wandering which language do you use to program this on?

Hi there mate, welcome to the programmers world ... Here is a little tip to add more calculations without losing to much space:
Remove the = button, calculate on the fly. Saves you some space, and saves the user a click.
Add a dropdown with categories: Weight, Distance, Speed, etc....
Add a second dropdown which is filled with the items from the selected category: Inch/feet, Inch/cm etc
I didn't do much VB.net/C# lately, but with a little research it wouldn't be to hard to do, keep motivated!
Thanks a lot!!
very useful app.
Great program! But do you think you could add "sq.ft. > acres" and "acres > sq.ft." in the area conversions? I work in a landscaping company and those are my 2 most used calculations.
I am the developer of an app for handwritten notes targeted at tablets with active pens. Since I don't have a HTC Jetstream to test on, I would like to ask anybody who is interested to give it a try. Pen detection / palm rejection works on the HTC Flyer in the newest version (6.2), so I am pretty confident that it works on the Jetstream as well. Here is some more info about Quill:
Handwriting note-taking app for Android tablets (Honeycomb)
A key design goal is quick response to pen strokes and 100% vector graphics. Developed on a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet.
Features
Very fast response to pen strokes.
"Fountain pen" mode supports pen pressure data, more pressure = thicker line.
Pinch-to-zoom.
Double-finger tap to zoom.
Two-finger move gesture.
Pen strokes are vector art, zoom does not pixelate your writing.
"Pen only" mode (optional) disables touch input while writing.
Android 3.x hardware accelerated graphics.
Open source (GPL), so your notes are not stuck in an opaque file format.
PDF export (save to SD card, Evernote, Share).
PNG (raster image) export.
Can backup/restore your data.
Ruled/Quad background paper
Tagging for pages so you can group them together.
The n-trig active pen has been tested on the ThinkPad Tablet and the HTC Flyer (Honeycomb). The basic functionality should work on any Android tablet, but distinguishing pen from finger data and pressure sensitivity might not work on others. Please let me know your results if you try it on another tablet. See also http://code.google.com/p/android-quill/wiki/SupportedDevices
There is a thread on the Lenovo forum http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-slate-tablets if you want to discuss anything.
You can also get the app for free (as in free speech) at http://code.google.com/p/android-quill. Also available on the Android Market.

YESSS!!!! Thank you for dropping by the Jetstream forum!!!
It is working perfectly to me!!! NO MORE Lag when making notes like the Notes app that came with the Jetstream itself.
The pen is working fine and the pressure variation is really good!!! Hopefully, the app would support the eraser button on the ScribePen in the future.
I know that this is mainly for handwriting, but option for keyboard input would also be nice.
Now I finally have a decent note taking app for my school!
Thanks again!
GREAT!
works flawlessly!
finally someone made it work. thanks for letting us know.
if only your app were more like antipaper. more paper patterns, better way of creating entire notebooks. i use the jetstream as an electronic notebook and the antipaper gives me a pretty good solution.
all but the proper pen support..
App works great on my jetstream! Much better than the HTC note app.
The only thing I miss is a better way to organize my notes in some kind of folders/notebooks. At the moment I have to tag every page I want to export. It would also be great if we could import pictures or even better take them from within the app.
Anyways thanks a lot for the nice work!!

you shoul try "antipaper"
it's a very nice app, really helps with organizing the notes.
i use while putting my hand on a piece of cloth, which prevents the screen from feeling it, and makes the movement across the screen smoother.
i know its not ideal (and looks ridiculous) but it works for me.
also, the developer there is also implementing this feature. the only problam with this feature is the lower right corner...whenever you touch it, it pops up and disturbes. in both apps.
Great app! Thanks!

Amazing app. Love it. Just got my Jetstream a few days ago (may be like 8 days) was struggling with the inbuilt notes app which refused to save anything new that i added to a particular note beyond a certain stage. No such problems here.
COOOLLLL!!!
Rocking! This apps is cool. I'll keep playing with it, so far so great.
Happy holidays
Have a relaxing, calorie rich, weekend everyone ! Dont forget, giving a piece of rainforest or a brick in an African school can make your Christmas Joy last a life time!
wow it app sounds awesome! Can you tell me if it will run on the kindle fire with android 2.3?
why wouldnt it?
Nice app
Works on a rooted kindle fire running miui ics.
One feature that would be great is the zoom box in which to write. That lets your see your document and write neatly.
Would it be possible to allow for inserting images into the documents?
Thank you for the honey bar hide setting. Could you include an exit or quit icon up on top? To quit now I go to tags so the honey bar is revealed, then I tap home.
Quill
Been using Quill since ver 6. Love it, use it almost everyday.
Thanks for the hard work!
I deleted my comment because I was actually thinking about the app Papyrus, not quill.
AWESOME, I took Quill for a test drive and I can conclude that it's way better than the Stock application
Hey, guys!
Let me introduce myself. I'm a founder of Hamster Beat team, which is focused on personalization apps development for Android. Most of our apps are live wallpapers, but unlike other live wallpapers, we are trying to implement only the most original ideas and not cloning existing apps like many others.
We're looking for promotions partners in US, Europe and all the world. Cross-promotion is also very interesting for us
So, if you have any idea we can work together in any way, you're welcome to contact me here on xda.
And here is some info about our work.
We started to work together with my friend on May 2012. Our first work was Metaballs Liquid HD. The idea come from PC machine graphics, and it was really hard to get it work on smartphones because of a complex computations. But we did it, spent a couple of month for coding and optimization research. The fate was not on our side, and application got banned on Play Store after a while due to sexual content violation, although there were completely no such a content inside the app. The discussion with Google Support team did not help, so we had to republish it with a higher maturity rating.
Here is how this app looks right now:
Then, we thought we can create an app that would be useful for those people who do not actually use live wallpapers. We started to work on a completely free app called Panoramic Screen which turns any regular 2D image into 3D panorama (not 360, of course, it's impossible).
This app is already featured on XDA main page. It was chosen to be included in top10 hottest apps on appbrain twice and few days ago we received information from Google Editors that they suggest Panoramic Screen to get featured on Google Play.
Panoramic Screen is free and you're welcome to try it. Here is how it looks:
Next time we focused on even more complicated idea. We wanted to create an application that can modify any other wallpaper and can animate something over any image picked from the gallery. Several months of coding leads us to Coloring Screen and Coloring Weather Screen applications. Coloring Screen was featured on xda and appbrain too. App allows to apply well-known photo filters and colors effects to change the entire look of any image. The full version is trying to animate current weather conditions, seasons and time of the day over ANY custom background. Although that was an extremely great idea, i can't tell we implemented it quite well. We had risen too high in India and received a very low percentage of active application installs compared to our other apps. So, i'm not actually sure if we can help it right now, but anyway we will merge Panoramic Screen with Coloring Screen into one app in the nearest future.
Our other apps you can always find on Google Play.
You're welcome to ask any questions if you want to know more about our experience.
Have a good weekend!
i once saw the review of PanoramicScreen on a blog and i tried it...very good app! Since then I have looked for information on how to create live wallpaper but with no luck
Anyway keep up the good work! ;D

What's going wrong? It seems quite simple to create basic lwp. Actually, lwp creation process is more about design, art and promotion instead of coding.
just want to drop in and say good luck in your endeavours! I absolutely loved panoramic screen as it was so simple yet customisable
Metaballs
Hi -- just thought I'd say how much I like Metaballs.

Thanks, since last update, Coloring Screen includes the same panoramic effect in addition to color and photo filters.

I just started working on a series of card games for Ubuntu Touch. I think these will be great additions to the platform's app ecosystem. You can view some screenshots of my progress here: https://plus.google.com/110587021591787005452/posts/9yRiPbRxSFJ
Please let me know if you have suggestions
Is it possible to change the background color? All Ubuntu Touch applications have this ugly purple.
Maybe green would look good.
But great work!

Yeah, that can easily be changed. Green could look like a nice card table. I'll experiment. But, form follows function!

I wanted to share a few screenshots highlighting the progress of the Ubuntu Blackjack app. The app has seen a number of significant improvements since I last provided an update here:
When I began, I intended to include several card games in one app, but somebody suggested that I focus on one game and try to make it really enjoyable to play. The idea was that the game would be the experience that other developers see and want to emulate. I heeded this advice, and focused on blackjack. Initially, the game was very simple. A deck was generated, and the player simply drew cards, but there was no real motivation to continue playing. I implemented additional gameplay features so the game would involve a fair amount of strategy, rather than sheer luck. Still, the game needed an objective, so I devised a system for keeping score, with increased stakes as the rounds progress. Naturally, I had to add a database to store the top 10 scores! Later, I realized it would be nice to share high scores with friends, so I utilized the Online Accounts and Friends APIs to allow sharing of scores on social media networks. Hopefully this publicity will draw more users to the Ubuntu Touch platform.
Next, I focused on audio/visual improvements. I incorporated feedback from the Ubuntu community, including an Ubuntu design clinic, to implement designs that are simple and functional, yet visually appealing. I included realistic animations and textures. It was important that the design be convergent so it will look good on all screen sizes and take advantage of the available screen real estate as it scales up. Consequently, blackjack is a great way to pass a few minutes on phone, tablet, or desktop! Next, I packaged a rich set of free audio and added a toggle to the settings page, so the user can choose to play with sound for a more immersive experience.
I want the user experience to be pleasant from start to finish, not just while the game is loaded. To balance all these new features, I had to make changes to improve load time. I also decided to add a splash screen, so the user has visual feedback while loading is in progress. A splash screen is much more pleasant to look at than a blank white screen.
Download the app today from the click store on your Ubuntu Touch device and let me know what can be improved!
I were just having a play with the new IPhone 6S Plus and find the new Touch3d, or Force Touch nice to use.
This is a link to demo the new feature.
If some developer can incorporate this into Android then I feel it would be a great addition.
What do others think?

I just hate people who post questions like these without researching. ForceTouch is a hardware feature, not a software one. If it was that easy there would have been two or three apps. General rule of thumb: RESEARCH BEFORE POST.
I'm just spit balling here. Yes, it is hardware feature but surely it can be integrated into say a launcher? If written into the Launcher code a time lapse for apps. Say tap to open an app, longer press for app options, even longer press or double tap to uninstall the app. It's just a rough idea but that is software written. If I had the knowledge then I'd do it myself, hence posting this thread.....
Something similar to Action Launcher but Touch3D features.
This is as close as your gonna get without it being made purposefully to support that feature:
