Click to collapse
I'll test it on my Diamond

Yup works great! Thanks!
Awesome works on VGA can't wait for the rating to be there..
Nice! Going to try it out now
Excellent app.just what have been needing.works great on my kaiser qvga.
thank you.
regards
lohtse
Cool app.
I can't wait to see it with more information displayed within the app though. Like which actors played which characters and the trivia and goofs and that such.
Keep up the good work.
awsome!
dude,
Great job..its quite simple and fast !
i was looking for something smiler, coz no app as my knowledge does that in our lovely WM, I have the reader with IMDB data base, but for the new movies what shall we do !!!
anyway, I think if will add more info, i mean every thing should be shown in the app it self will be more than perfect, and also i think the most info is this :
1-User Rating
2-Plot
3-Genre
4-Actors
But, dude, thanks again and may god bless you
see you in next version bro!
Great App. Thanks.
Ya think Steve Jobs will try to restrict use of iPhone API's?
I applaud you for releasing the source code. Have you considered creating a Google Code project for this?
Blade0rz, many thanks for this really nice application to tap into IMDB's vast resources. Like shabek, I look forward to additional info especially Ratings, Plot/Sypnosis and Ratings. One comment is that I noticed the image aspect ration is distorted. WOuld be great if we can have the correct image aspect ration for posters and actors. Thanks again and I will be tracking this daily
app runs good on my omnia i910. it would be great to have a synopsis of movie and ability to select the actor and have their info come up. also, i cannot go back once i pull up a movie. i have to close the app and reopen it again and perform another search.
this is a great idea and thanks for contributing it. i look forward to future releases
Nice app, it works on my Rhodium WVGA, but has some problems installing.
When installed (I can't choose to put it on my phone or external memory), I can't find it in the thumbnails. To open the program, I have to search it in my Explorer (my machine / Program Files / IMDB Mobile).
It also has some minor problems with the landscape; I can type, but it doesn't respond on the 'enter' command and the pictures are stretched to halfway my screen. The text doesn't go to fullscreen either, only to halfway.
The landscape thing is not a biggy (especially since it's the first beta and you cracked the iPhone program), but am I the only one who's having the installing problem?
But besides this, a great app! It's the #1 app I've been searching for lately and I'm very thankful that you've been putting effort in making it!
[edit]
I've noticed where the installing problem is. When you instal the app, it sends the shortcut to the folder "Windows / Start Menu". Maybe it's because I've got the official Dutch 6.5 ROM, but my programs are in "Windows / Startmenu".
Thanks Mate , very Nice , works like a charm
At the moment,its more of a proof of concept more than anything. I have implemented Plot, Tagline, Directors, Writers, Rating so far from the movie details.
The API also contains data for Quotes, Cast, Trivia, etc so all of those will eventually be implemented.
The app isnt a port of the iPhone one, it just uses the same data. Any interface issues are my fault
Hopefully should have a fully functional beta by the end of the week
can't wait buddy!

It's way too basic.
No undo/redo.
No automatic cloud backup.
No selection tool.
No thickness setting for the pen.
Unable to create separate notebooks.
Unable to insert text.
Those are just the basics that I found to be missing, but it really lacks so much. S Note is fantastic and came free with our phones. :thumbup:

Snapshare
Share images and videos via Snapchat
Note: This project was seemingly abandoned by stammler, (original thread). I have decided to continue support for for this app, in accordance to the GPL. I will do my best to maintain this project, and to finish the previously left todos.
This Xposed module lets you share any image and portrait video via Snapchat, not only pictures you take with the camera from within Snapchat. When you are viewing an image and click on share, Snapshare will pop up as an option. It will load Snapchat and lets you even paint on the image as if you had just taken it with your camera inside Snapchat. Snapshare will crop your images so they fit into your display.
It uses the Xposed framework to intercept launches of Snapchat from Snapshare and do the magic. Because it uses the Xposed framework, it is device and rom independent
If you find any bugs, please report See the section Troubleshooting/Bugs on Github about which logcat filters would be helpful etc.
Confirmed to work with Snapchat 5.0.11.0 (2014-05-14)
Installation
Install the awesome Xposed framework on your rooted device.
Install and activate the mod, which you can download from the xposed repo or from the the releases tab. Don't forget to do a (soft) reboot.
To Do
Clicking on the upper left X should return to the Gallery, not the Snapchat camera. Minor priority
Release Notes
1.6.6a Added compatibility for snapchat 5.0.9.1
1.6.6 Added compatibility for snapchat 5.0.2 Please check here for details regarding videos
1.6.5 Added compatibility for snapchat 4.1.12
1.6.3 Added compatibility for snapchat 4.1.10
1.6.2 Fixed another bug that corrupted original videos, added GB compatibility - use at own risk!
1.6.1 Fixed a bug that corrupted original videos
1.6 Added preferences. You can now choose if an image rotates, and whether it will crop or scale.
1.5.2 Fixed a bug which didn't attempt to try to work for newer versions.
1.5.1 Support added for new beta versions.
1.4 Functionality is now the same as it were for previous versions.
1.3 Fixed to work for newer versions of snapchat. (barely)
1.2 Proper handling of video deletion.
1.1a Fixed version to work with newest Snapchat version 3.0.4
1.1 Support for sharing videos added.
- So far only Portrait videos are supported, as Landscape videos are shown scaled down in Portrait mode in the upper half of the screen.
- Also, if the video is too large, which can happen quickly if recorded with an external app, Snapchat will refuse to send the video. I actually don't even now if you can share any other videos than the ones originally created with Snapchat and saved before sending. Or videos saved by the Keepchat mod.
1.0 First working release. Only image sharing supported.
You can find the sources, technical details, bugs and troubleshooting discussions at my Github repository. This software is released under the GNU GPLv3.
Cheers and enjoy!

It works on the latest non beta (4.1.01).
I just released a new version, which has preferences, (rotation, cropping/scaling). Let me know if there are any bugs / problems!
Thanks for the update! The scale thing works great! It does crop pictures if they are beyond a certain width though. But overall it's a huge improvement!
Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
I don't think the new crop/scale/rotate feature works. At least for videos anyway. I was trying to share a video with SnapShare and the video was in the top half of the screen and the bottom half was blank. So I tried every setting to scale or rotate it and none worked. When I tried using Scale, the video wouldn't show at all and it would just say "Video cannot play" or something similar.
It works great with the holo snapchat apk

Thanks for the info. I should have mentioned that the crop/scaling is for images only. I'll edit the main post to reflect that. Also about the video cannot be played, I just tested it then and you are absolutely right. If you cancel q video, the original video will be corrupted. I will fix this asap

Thank you! Will the crop/scaling become available for videos in future? Also I was sending a normal picture taken with my phone camera via SnapShare and I turned the Rotate off and kept scale on but it rotated the picture to the side. So I turned rotate on and then the picture ended up flipped horizontally. I had to screenshot the original picture and share the screenshot via SnapShare for it to work.

Updated. As for the rotation bug, I realise that there is a bug that sometimes doesn't update the settings. You may need to change the settings and change them back again for it to register. I will look into why it is doing this.

Downloaded it to check if it could replace my secondary browser I currently use.
One small thing I noticed is, that you cannot have incognito tabs.
There is one bug that is crashing the app, here is how to reproduce it:
Open settings, try to scroll with your beginning touch of the swipe on either one of the ListPickers. App crashed 3 out of 4 times trying.
You should look into setting
Code:
e.Handled =true;
in "Application_UnhandledException" in App.xaml.cs.
This would prevent the app from crashing on minor bugs that the user would not even notice.
I think I encountered the same bug in one of my apps. No way to catch it, since it's caused by the wptoolkit.
(Though you might also want to log these errors to make sure there are no other unhandled exceptions crashing your app, that can be prevented by you)

Seems good so far, but I can't really judge a browser with only a few minutes usage. I'll use it for a few days and get back to you, if I find things that I really like/don't like/are missing compared to other browsers.
One thing I noticed though that would probably cause some bad ratings is, that I could not find a feedback or contact the developer button. That will cause users to give a lower rating when they have to report a problem via reviews/ratings. You will probably still receive some of those but most users with problems will use a feedback button and write you an email when they have a problem if you provide the means. This also gives you the possibility to respond to such questions/problem reports/feature requests.
You will receive feedback from stupid users that are simply to dump to find/use a feature, but this way you can respond and avoid an unneccesary bad rating.
