Ring Remover

Mon, 03 May 2010 22:10:46 +0000

This is a very simple application that does just one thing which was apparently left out of the OS.

If you've ever hit "Use as phone ringtone" in the music player by accident you probably had trouble *removing* the tune from the ringtone list. This app lets you do that, safely and easily. No more, no less.

NOTE: it is *not* intended to remove ringtones created by Ringdroid, Mabilo, etc. It is *just* for ringtones created via the music player. If it says "no deletable ringtones", it's because your tones weren't created from the music player -- please reread the previous paragraph if you don't understand this.

If you want control over all tones, try Ring Commander.

Yarn Shopper

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 13:07:01 +0000

For knit and crochet fanatics only. This app helps you see how many skeins of yarn you'll need and how much you'll pay for your project.

Ships with a built-in list of top yarns in each weight category, but lets you add and edit your own yarn descriptions as well.

Recent changes:

Data Bee Lite

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 20:39:43 +0000

Data Bee Lite is a fast, configurable viewer for spreadsheet/database content via the universal CSV format. It's designed around your phone's display, showing the data you need when you need it.

Amazingly fast and scalable. In just seconds it will open files that crash competing apps. 20MB file? 50,000 records? No problem. (However, recent tests have shown occasional out-of-memory errors for files of more than 1.5 million lines. We hope to improve this in the future, but for now this seems to be the effective file limit.)

CSV data may can be exported from Excel, MySql, MobileDB, or the Web. Whatever the source, whatever the size, Data Bee will show it to its best advantage.

Paid version remembers configs and edits files.

Recent changes:
* Improved Honeycomb display.
* Fixed occasional problem with file-switching.
* Recover more gracefully with out-of-memory errors -- typically only happens on files greater than 1.5 million lines.

Window Paper

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 13:07:12 +0000

Turn your phone into an always-current window on the world. Window Paper updates your wallpaper at regular intervals with the view from an arbitrary webcam.

Note: Program config isn't trivial. May not be for everyone.

v1.03: Use newer interfaces when possible. FroYo-ready. If updating, start program once to "wake up".
