Hi All!
I searched this kind of app but with no results ... maybe someone hase some suggestion. I am searching an application that can tell me "who is calling" in those cases where the called number is not in among my contacts. To do this the application should access via internet to databases such as yellow pages, white pages and tellows. It would be nice if the same application could use all of these 3 databases and, if a match is found, a pop-up should come up on the screen with the information found.
According to me such an app would be really usefull ... don't you think? Is there already something in the wild?
I recall hearing of such an application at least once before, but I can't remember the name or where I heard of it...I will have a look and see what I can find.
EDIT: A quick search found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webascender.callerid&feature=search_result (whitepages only, official app seemingly)
Also this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gogolook.callgogolook2&feature=related_apps (seems more broad, but no list of what databases it uses)

Yes. This is the kind of "look and feel" i was searching. Now the only problem is that this app is based on the US white pages. It would be nice to have more choice (white pages+yellow pages+tellow) and also the ability to choose (among a definite set of countries) the county of interest (like USA but also germany, italy, uk etc ...).
I am interested in the italian yellow pages (and similar) services.

Have a look at the other two apps I posted, both seem to be more international.
In the meantime i have found this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tellows#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiZGUudGVsbG93cyJd
It is only based on tellow but it is only the german version If only this app could allow the user to select the country of interest ...
It seems that TrueCaller is not available on Google Play anymore ... it has been removed ... why? Should i trust such an app?

However, i will begin trying the other app, WhosCall. Let'see how it works. I will also email the developer about the databases they use. Maybe there is the possibility they point it out more clearly.

Hi, are there any UK based custom 2.1 ROMs?
flashed Villain3.4 but it seems the market is the US one so all the location specific apps are US and doesnt work properly
anyone point me in the right direction?
@nortynort
Sorry for writing this, but did you inform yourself before you wrote this new, unnecessary thread?
sorry it might've been daft, but the only way to get informed is to ask right?
MarketEnabler
Install market enabler and set your location to UK.
http://uploaded.to/file/en3pg4
nope mate ... the right way would be to make some research.
but I will give you the answer, have a look at page 1 from the Villain thread. Villain 3.4 basis is from an Eris dump, means the sources are from a US thought software leak.
There is no UK based ROM even no Mongolian based ROM, why? Because no official 2.1 release exists.
thanks niclas90

it is not only unnecessary, it is also in the wrong subforum.
Wiki; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM
"RTFM is an initialism for the direction "Read The ****ing Manual". This instruction is sometimes given in response to a question when the person being asked believes that the question could be easily answered by reading the relevant "manual" or instructions. It is also used to tell people to try to help themselves before seeking assistance from others."
So according to wikip phanes used the term correctly. And who wants to start a discussion concerning the validity of wikipedia? Not me. I believe in the peoples opinion.
Edit; Oh how i love metadiscussions..
As far as the original question goes. What is not working, market is fine for me using VillainRom 3.4?
Things submitted by U.S developers will show in $ anything in UK will show in £ and some will be Euro's you can still purchase them all the same.
Have you checked to see if you can change the "LOCATION" and "LOCALE & TEXT" options in SETTINGS?
I'm honestly trying to help, but no matter how I try wording the above, it always sounds a little condescending.

I'm not too knowledgable in this, but whatever app I download seems to be set to be US centric?
For example Yelp, which worked fine in the stock tmob uk ROM, now can't find my location at all. I set the currency thing in the settings to UK and it still can't find my location.
Other apps like pocketauctions for ebay are set to US by default but that one is managable as setting it to UK works fine.
Shopsavvy barcode scan feature no longer works, it doesn't recognise any barcodes anymore, I dont know if thats a US/UK thing as well. Typing products in by name brings up US prices. There's no setting to set it to UK.

Going to Settings ---> Location only gives the options "Use wireless networks" (Checked), and "Use GPS satellites" (unchecked)
Can't find a direct reference to Locale and text, but in the keyboard settings there's a LOCALE setting and clicking on it you can only choose a language

hi
here's a little pet peeve of mine
whenever i go to share a picture, website link, etc i am presented with a *huge* list of apps that i could ever possibly use
but here's the truth - i only ever use three (maybe four) of those apps
and, just an extra bonus, those three or four are distributed all up and down that list - and yeah, the gmail icon is at the bottom! lol
is there *any* way to modify that list??
or an app that lets us mod that list??
i'm asking you guys cuz you would know
and... if anybody wants an idea for an app to build... there ya go! i'd pay 99cents (heck, probably even 1.99) for such an app!
and, while i'm asking, i might as well say what would be just killer features ---- allow us to pick the say top five apps that would always show up, and the last entry says "all" so the entire list becomes available
would be good to be able to sort the apps that show up in that list too
anyway.. just gonna throw that out there
??
no one has anything to say about this?
Shame that there are no replies, as this is also bugging me. Here's a bump for the topic.
Annoying me as well. Recently downloaded a QR app and the damn thing added TWO entries. I'd love to be able to remove everything but email, facebook, and messaging...
How can this still be an issue
I can't believe there's no way to filter the list or at least sort the list in order used.
'Intents' and MIME-types
Recently I find that I've become rater annoyed with the list for "share via", and started wondering how I might go about deleting specific items or at the very least rearrange the order in which they appear.
I've been unable to find the answer, as most threads, only consist of the question, and no answers.
I did however find out that what causes an app to appear in the "share via"-list is an 'Intents'-argument with regards to MIME-types (.jpg or .txt etc.) when coding the app.
See: (add the http yourselves, as I'm unable to, with this being my first post)
stackoverflow .com/questions/7891473/how-to-write-an-android-share-plugin
&
stackoverflow .com/questions/3553017/android-share-via-dialog
That means, that in order to remove them from the list, we would need some app, like LBE Privacy Guard, that could limit the "offending" app's 'Intents' in certain regards.
However I've been unable to find anyone that seems to know which file to tweak in order to rearrange the order in which they appear.
I doubt this helps anyone very much, but it may just lead someone on the right path to maybe coming up with a fix for this.
Try 'Andmade Share' from the market, seems like it would be what you're after.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRtYWRlc29mdC5zaGFyZSJd
or
share customizer
Play link
Feature request added at code.google 2012-01-25
It would appear that a feature request has been put in at code.google at 2012-01-25
(Again add the http-part yourselves)
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24741
While we are waiting for this "obvious" feature, the above reply's seem to offer what I'm asking for, at least in an app, though it ought to be built in...
Thx a lot itscro & biopsin
EDIT: I think I'll pass on the Share Customizer, with all the funky (chinese?) writing, and dec. 2011 latest update.
Andmade Share however looks like a winner, and I like the fact, that it doesn't require any permissions...
Awesome. Andmade Share seems to do the trick. Love it when old threads are brought back to life and solve a problem.

Hi there,
I recently installed JellyBam into my i9100. I have the standard Trebuchet installed with the Google Search bar widget.
When I type in Amsterdam weather, the weather is nicely displayed but the values are in Imperial.
How does one change it into Metric?
( It would be interesting to query the value of product.locale.region, but I don't know how)
( Please note I do not wish to install a new app for this. I simply want to know how to change the existing Google Search app. There are no options in the Settings menu).
Cheers, F.
There is a small "C" next to the temp displayed in Fahrenheit. Tap that, and it will change to Celsius. All future results will then be in metric.

Do the search at www.google.com via the browser, then try doing what I said. Then repeat your search using the search widget. The preference should carry over.

Nope. A search on Google.com gives it in Metric. The change is not carried through. It is specific to Google Search widget/app in Android.

That's totally weird. My results always get displayed in a browser window. Your results appear to be something else.
Check in the ROM thread?
EDIT to add: it's probably different for me since I'm on stock ICS, and you're running the JellyBam custom ROM, so this is about as far as I can go trying to help you, I think. Sorry.
OK. Shall try there. Cheers for the suggestions.
Did you check in Settings->Google Now->Weather->Weather Units?
Btw. which Jellybam Version are you using? The one based on 4.1.2 or the one based on 4.2.1?
V 4.2.1
Thee is no Google Now settings section .
Enter your search term; once the result is shown hit the left touch key and there should be a settings entry (at least it's like that in the 4.1.2 version).
Yes there is a settings entry, but nothing there adresses measurments.
Screenshot of Settings in Google Search widget
Well it looks like that for me.
You do have a google-account, right?
burnnie said:

No. Can you offer proof that a Google Account is required?
If no Google account was configured then one would think it would base results on GeoIP or the handset locale, which is the Netherlands and UK English, which would always prefer Metric.
My wife's i9100 does not have a Google Account, and it gives the results in Metric. However she has stock Samsung/ADW.
Actually no, I don't have proof. It was just a guess.
Maybe it's a bug in the 4.2.1 Jellybam (or CM) version.
Edit:
I just found another thread on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827768
You have to activate Google Now to be able to change these settings. But I guess you can't activate Google Now without a Google-Account (still guessing, sorry).
When I bought the Tab S, Paper Garden was one of the Samsung apps I was looking forward to use. Unfortunately, us Canadians got screwed over and hence, the Paper Garden app was not included. Any chance this app will be added later on through an update? Can an apk of this app be used on my Canadian tab S? Any help or input would be appreciated guys.. :fingers-crossed:

I tried it as i read a lot and i wanted it to work on my tab pro 8.4. i really hope someone ports it. it installs and loads fine but then says it isn't available in this country which is weird considering i live in the U.S
I had never heard of this app before today and was looking forward to it. Either I am missing something or there are only about twenty to chose from.

Right,
But I was asking about a locale, and I meant if you can tell us from which country does your tablet come from. US?
And the question results from the fact that on my device the app displays only an info that it won't work in my country and then closes...

So it's probably not really a country issue, as it gives two different results even for devices from the same country. I bet some components like additional app, library or most likely additional framework component may be needed; my very first idea is that the app cannot resolve the country at all because of missing additional framework componet designed to be a proxy between app and some Samsung core mechanisms. Checking country using that interface fails, but as there is no fc it seems that programmers assumed that such a situation may happen and the code is probably handling the exception in some trivial way, ie. by providing bulk country code, which isn't indeed papergarden-enabled because... it does not exist. That's the reason of displaying an info about unsupported region.
That's only a theory but better that than nothing.
Can someone look throughout the contents of /system/framework or /system/lib for a files with a names that can be easily connected with "papergarden" or "adobe" or "magazine"?
Is it possible to provide a ONLY filelist of whole /system of Tab S? Dont want to download whole dump....
Would be awesome if someone with programming talent unlike me lol figured it out
Hi, you can use TUNNEL BEAR app.
I installed the app on my S 8.4. I created a Samsung account and added a few of the free magazines to my library but why I try and read any of them I get a "failed to install. (300)" error.
Tablet was bought from Amazon in the UK but the CSC is for The Netherlands.

The OP spelled the app as two words. I just searched for the app and found it, it's one word. I was only suggesting that maybe that's why you didn't find the app. Either way, it's not the end of the world; first world problems )
For what it's worth... I found the app by spelling the app's name as the OP spelled it (two words), but I also didn't search for it as one word.

How to find new apps?
Hi,
Just wondering if there is an efficient way to search for new apps. I have 3 issues:
1. Interested in anything new just developed that may not have been available the last time I checked
2. Still searching for an app that allows me to control ppt slides on my laptop that are being projected.
3. After finding an app that I searched for, the app is being displayed with the header:"about 2 results" even though only 1 app is displayed. What is that about?
For issue 1 I have been going to the Gear Manager>Samsung Gear apps>Top>sort by new.
That shows me 300 apps. Is that really all there is? Using the category tab is not that useful, since you can't sort by date and many apps show up in pretty much all categories. I thought there were over 1000 apps available? So where are they?
For issue 2, I have tried PreGear, but it required download of additional programs and admin password, which I don't have for my work laptop. Someone suggested a YouTube video that promoted an app capped Air PPT for Samsung Gear S, but no matter how I searched for it, I can't find it in the Gear store and the video did not provide info on how to get it. Any other ideas as to this type of app? Is there another place to find apps for my Gear S besides the Gear manager?
Issue 3 is just plain irritating. If this is caused by something I am doing, would be good to know, because right now it feels like the gear store itself has no clue as to how many apps it has...
