Android :: Personal Wiki / Offline Wiki App - NOT WIKIPEDIA?
Dec 8, 2009
I've got a personal wiki on my computer for organizing my thoughts. I want to be able to read and edit it on my phone too, and preferably have it synch w/ my computer.
Requirements:
- Shall run on Android OS
- Shall support both reading and editing of the wiki
- Could have version/revision control
- Shall be compatible with my PC in one of the following ways:
1) The same wiki app running on both. Maybe synchs automatically, maybe uses a file synch.
2) Different wiki apps, but markup is compatible. Synchs /w file synch.

I installed a really great wiki app. Then I had to reset my G1 and lost it. I went back to market and searched but all I found is DroidWiki, which I don't like. No other wiki app turns up when I search in market.

I downloaded and installed Wiki Notes but can't make head or tail of it. For clarity: The app I've got is named "Wiki Notes" (with a space in the middle there). I keep seeing people refer to something called "WikiNotes" (without a space) and I wonder if they're the same app or not. Wiki Notes (with a space, the one I've got) so far makes no sense. I can't create a new note. There's something called a Top Note. I can edit it. And that's as far as I can get. No new note button, no delete note button, nothing. I am completely stumped. I've read that there's something really cool going on here. But I am stumped.

Under the "Amendments" section, I want to get what each bullet point says, and display them in a nice list in an android application. I know there's a wikimedia api, but I have absolutely no idea how to use it, and from what I understand of it, you can get the text under a section, but I'm not sure if you can get each bullet point separately. What would be the best way to do this? Or instead of this, should I just spend my time copying the text from over 300 pages onto a text file, and reading it in the application?

I have had my Droid Incredible for a little while, but recently I noticed that when I view Wikipedia pages, they no longer automatically show in the official mobile format the way they used to, and now I just get the regular Wikipedia page. I would like to reverse this and get pages in the mobile view automatically again.

Has anybody used the program "Personal Assistant" by Pageonce for Android or any other phone? It seems like a useful little app, but I am hesitant to provide it with any of my account (especially bank account) information without first knowing if others have used the program and deemed it safe and secure. I haven't really been able to find any testimonials online save for a few forum responses that seem to be written by one of the program's creators, which obviously doesn't make me feel much better. If anybody has used it and can confirm that my information will be safe, please let me know.

Currently I use the desktop app quicken to track all my expenses. More and more I'm relying on my android phone to do my daily tasks. I have been searching and reading for weeks now trying to find an app that suits my needs and so far I haven't come up with what I need. Many come close but so far none can provide all three of my requirements. So, does any one of you l33t android users know of an app that can meet these three requirements?
(1) Must be stand alone - If it can sync with a desktop app like quicken for example, that's great but it shouldn't rely on that to function.
(2) Supports downloading bank data directly - My bank (USAA) supports just about every connection method. Every app I have tried for every phone that has this feature has been able to connect to USAA and retrieve my transactions without issue. Downloading to a file and importing manually is not an option.
(3) Must support recurring / scheduled transactions - I want to be able to plug in my monthly recurring bills and have some way of viewing my future balance as the bills hit. Quicken does this with a bar graph and a calender. Either one would work. The biggie (Mint.com) is great but doesn't support the third requirement even though hundreds of people have posted, asking for this feature (guess no one is listening or acting on it). Quicken doesn't have a mobile app. Splash money doesn't have an Android version. Ascendo Money doesn't have an android version. Seems like everything I have found is 2 out of 3.. I don't see how my list of 3 is asking that much?

Does anyone have a bead on a well-performing, well-design app that I can store personal data/info with in a secure fashion? Specifically, I want to store information such as my kid's Kaiser ID numbers, doctor's names, etc... but it has to be secure. Poking around in the Market hasn't really turned up any great options for me so I thought I'd turn to the community for suggestions.

I am constantly amazed at how many posts are made and how quickly they are responded to. So, a little personal question. . .
Who are you?
I assume that most of us here are adults who work a job that allows them to buy an expensive phone (or two or three) with expensive data plans, so are you all at work slacking off and following the threads?
I must admit I am guilty of that occasionally as I linger around here.

Whenever I see an app that requires the use of this information, 9/10 times I do not download it. I see a lot of games on the marketplace that require this information and I just don't see the point in a game where I toss paper into a trash can needing to know my location at the time I am using the app. Do any of the rest of you see any red flags that turn you off of certain apps despite how cool they may seem?

My company is going to be switching to Gmail for work. I will thus have a work and personal Gmail account. On Android, will I be able to run two instances of the Gmail app, one for work and one for personal?
I don't want to run one through the standard mail program because I don't want to lose the gmail features like Conversations.

Do you know any application to prevent other applications from reading your personal data (contact, identity, history, ...) ? That would be great to be able to use our phone without giving away to unknown company/people our very personal data.

I've been working on a game for a while now that relies heavily on UDP connections. Its been running great, but since releasing in the market, we've been flooded by complaints from Hero users that it doesn't run what-so-ever. We haven't received this complaint from anyone other than Hero users (seems 100% isolated to the device), and I haven't been able to reproduce using an HTC ROM on my personal G1 (thought it might be related to the OS), but I'm starting to suspect it's a hardware issue...
Does anyone on the list have access to a Hero, and adb that I could ship an APK with a bit of extra logging to see exactly whats going wrong?

I have a new HTC Incredible on order.
One of the big reasons that I am switching phones was because my Windows Mobile calendar messed up the times (shifted things an hour off) and totally messed up my entire calendar. I cannot afford to have any calendar issues, so I need a ROCK SOLID calendar that is stable, syncs well, integrates well, allows for recurring inputs, and has nice month, week, and daily views.
Most threads about calendar apps were started several months ago, so I was wondering what the latest developments and updates to these apps and widgets might have done to your evaluation of them. Personally, I would love to get in on the public beta of PI when it is finally announced. I have used Pocket Informant and Agenda Fusion on my Windows Mobile devices before. I have never used CalenGoo, but something like that would be wonderful, too.
What is the latest and greatest you have found regarding the DINC and:
Jorte App vs Calendar Pad Pro App vs iRT Calendar App vs Gemini App vs Hubkap Mobile App
and
aniAgenda Widget vs Pure Calendar Grid Widget vs Pure Calendar Agenda Widget vs Androidlet Calendar Widget.

I downloaded Photovault, thinking that it would give me the ability to go and hide particular photos, and it hasn't worked. I plugged my droid to the computer and dropped the photos in the "private" folder, however, they still show up in "Gallery", and are visible and do not need a password.
IS there any other app that works for the drod that functions like this?

I am a new to the Android world and am concerned with the creators of the apps having access to info and all of a sudden I am getting a bunch of spam. Today, I was going to download a wall paper app and when I went to install it said something to the extent of having access to personal information.

I have an android razr M and all my photos go to an album that I never make.
For example,
when I save a photo from Facebook, it goes into a album called "facebook"
when I take a photo, it goes into an album called "camera"
when I save a photo that I received through text it goes to an album called "messaging"
when I edit a photo it goes into an album called "edit"
I never made these albums, and I don't choose where the photos go. How can I create albums, and how do I put the photos I take/save into the album I want?

I want to backup my personal contacts but I am unclear as to how to do this. I though I read someone mentioned HTC Sync, but when I go to the HTC site, I can only find a upgrade and not the actual program. Is HTC Sync the program I want and if so, where do I download from? (Windows format). Will this also sync music?

I am a longtime iPhone user and I have recently been given a Samsung Galaxy S3 by my employer. In the past I have just used my old Android phone for Tethering with FoxFi so I can have web access at work on my laptop. I literally never made any phone calls with it for over 2 years. I have had the calls forwarded from my Verizon Android phone to my ATT iPhone since the day I got it.
Currently I have a (PERSONAL) iPhone 4 on AT&T with a 3G connection and I have this (WORK CELL) Samsung Galaxy 3 on Verizon 4G LTE.
I would like the ability to fully test out the S3 and leave the iPhone at home if I so choose. Call forwarding either way is not a problem at all. I can forward my iPhone personal calls to my work cell and I can forward my work cell calls to my iPhone (Currently this is how I have it). Call forwarding works great but I am looking for a way to handle text messages in a similar manner.
I would like to have the ability to send and receive text messages using my personal number from my Android Phone. I have Google Voice installed on both phones but I cant seem to get it to work at all or I am not setting it up correctly. I would not mind having texts show up on both devices or in my Gmail inbox. There has to be a way to do this. That way if I leave either phone at home it not a big deal I don't have to carry two phones. Nobody ever texts my work number, my only texts received are to my personal cell.

I was hoping to get some feedback from those of you that are in the advanced category for smart phones and media. I'm gearing up and converting many of MY videos to MP4 in anticipation of watching them on my hotly anticipated new 4.3" screen.
In regards to the conversion of MY OWN PERSONAL video files, I had some questions about settings and the process for making the videos look and work best on the EVO. I realize this question may be premature given the actual phone isn't out yet, but any info would be appreciated.
My main questions are:
What settings people would recommend for using Handbrake to convert the files?
What settings will use the least amount of resources and memory, but will still give the best playback/image possible on the EVO?
I have waded through what information I could find on the forum in the EVO and Incredible (closest match to EVO) threads and this is what I have found in case anybody wants to use it for reference. THANK YOU to those posters who have supplied the following information, it got me moving in the right direction.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Programs available to convert files to MP4: (These were the most often mentioned, but there are several others available to use as well)
XDA Video Encoder - [APP][REF]Video encoding GUI - xda-developers - Appears to be free, instructions listed on web link for operation. "Probably the best movie converter. It was designed for converting movies for older, less powerful HTC devices, but it'll still work great for this. Extremely easy to use, and produces small file sizes with great quality. Works pretty fast too. I highly, highly recommend it for converting movies to use on Android phones."
ANYDVD - SlySoft AnyDVD | any dvd, region free, dvd copy, copy dvd movies, dvd decoder, dvd ripper, macrovision, dvd copying software - Free for 30 days, $$$$ after that. Updates often and seems to be regarded as best for decrypting files.
DVDFAB - DVD Copy Software from DVDFab | Copy DVD to PSP, DVDR or iPod - Free for 30 days, then $$$ after that. Full package looks like you are able to convert files for all kinds of uses and to all types of players including mobile phones.
Handbrake - HandBrake - Free. Seems to be the most popular here on the android forums. Easy to use and so far has done a good job converting for me.
DVD Converter Pro - InterTech DVD Converter - Free trial, then $$$. 1 comment from poster "I'm impressed by dvd converter pro. It worked well and seems to be much easier than dvd fab. I will probably purchase it. The incredible photo viewer is not well suited for displaying videos though."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Tutorials and help: (comments taken from different threads here on Android forum)
- Well, to get the ball rolling, here are quite a few guides on how to convert DVD to an Android-compatible standard h.264 video format.
Guide, How To, Tutorial and Article list - VideoHelp.com
- Jerry Hildenbrand (Gbhill) @ Android Central wrote a great how to on video conversion using Handbrake as well as Double Twist on the Android Central Blog. It can be found HERE
- Here is another, more general, video guide which discusses Handbrake in more detail for those who are interested. I personally like the step by step guides with lots of pictures... I consider myself an advanced technical user, but sometime I just want to get it done quick.
Here are the links...
The Power User's Guide to Video Encoding with Handbrake | Maximum PC
The Last DVD and Blu-Ray Ripping Guide You'll Ever Need | Maximum PC
- If you use Handbrake uncheck the CABAC entropy coding under the Advanced tab. You can use it but it will limit you to yxflash (a pay for app) for the player. I can say that if you rip correctly it looks amazing on the AMOLED screen of the N1. Even Spongebob has amazing color resolution. But thats 90mb per 12 minute episode.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Resolution and Settings Comments:
- I am using DVDfab. I have read that they should be set to 480 X 272 and use the preset setting for apple tv. I have encoded some to mp4 and they play really nice on my computer.
- I would recommend keeping either the horizontal or vertical resolution the highest the device supports which is either 800 vertical or 480 horizontal.
- Isn't the display resolution 800x480? So how did someone come up with 480x272? To get the best picture, I would set it to 800x? or ?x480.
- If it's a dvd, you want to keep it at the same resolution of 720x480 (or whatever the 4:3 res is, but why you would use 4:3 on this phone is beyond me).
- 480x272 is a 16:9 aspect ratio, the ratio that is used for movies as that is the ratio that most widescreen TVs are (e.g., 720p = 1280x720 and 1080p = 1920x1080).
I think 800x450 would be the best resolution as it's the closest to the native resolution of the display while still maintaining the 16:9 aspect ratio -- important if you want the proportions to look how they're supposed to look. Use this resolution only if the source video is HD, though. DVD videos are 720x480 (I think 720x400 is viewable since it's letterboxed), so encoding to any resolution above that would just be a waste of space by creating a larger video file.
- Yeah, I just encoded a movie using 480x272 and it looks great. Even on my 15" laptop screen. I think when you encode a movie from 5 gig to 800 meg it probably doesnt make a huge difference if you use 800 x 480 or 480 x 272.
- Folks, this is a classic debate, but recording the vids at full Inc resolution has drawbacks with no gains (unless you also plan on playing them back on a bigger display- laptop is example).
1. Drains more battery
2. Takes up over twice the space
Please download a video for PSP or iPod, iPhone (or format one this) and you will see that you will not notice a difference between the vids on a 3.7" display.
Output from the composite video of the Inc will also not use the higher resolution either. Composite video out is the constraint there. Not 720p output like the EVO (that puppy will run hot outputting that res to a display).
- So i put a movie on my Incredible that was set to the 480 x 272. It plays perfect and looks perfect.

Why is it when I save a photo as wallpaper it stretches beyond it's normal size? I'm sure it's a setting that I've looked at over and over but sometimes you need another pair of eyes to look at the problem.

Other than just being spyware or something? Lately I've been afraid to download a lot of apps for these reasons. I can't figure out why a game for example would need access to my contacts list, or a launcher have to look at my call history.

Just curious to know which keypad everyone prefers. (Android, Samsung, or Swype?) I used the Samsung keypad for a while and just switched to the Android keypad today to try it out. I think it looks great. For anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about:
Menu > Settings > Locale and Text > Set default keyboard
