What is PiCAST?
I couldn't get a Chromecast cause it was sold out, so I tried to build my own and within 3 Days I decided to release the PiCAST and now almost a week in and we have [YouTube] Video! So, I am trying to make it like the Google Chromecast BUT completely open, free, and hopefully get others to contribute to make it better. So at this moment in time, it will throw a website or load and play a YouTube Video. Soon you'll be able to have the ability to control remotely or have Desktop Sharing.

How Can I Help or Try it?

Thanks!
Is this an emulation of Chromecast? or totally different project in the same direction?

It seems like a similar project going in a similar but slightly different direction.

Will it be like Miracast sticks? I want to mirror my phone (S4) with something other than Samsung ALLSHARE CAST dongle

Actually yes, the whole project has gotten a re-design in general. Less requirements, faster loading and only need a single web page. Using Sockets, so the project is smaller and a lot safer.

I don't know what that is, but from your explanation, I will say no, unfortunately.
Any screen your Pi is connected to, will have processes performed on it remotely.
Ill be subscribing to this thread and wait for it eagerly.
Can any updates be expected?
Is it, or will it be, possible to stream audio from applications on your computer like Spotify?
Hi, I'm trying to get this working on my Pi currently, once I get down to the "SETUP DATABASE" section, I'm really not sure what to do. are there more detailed instructions anywhere?
Hello, I'm very interested in the project you have here, but is there anyway to send the PiCast from an android device to the Pi?
will picast work with services such as netflix?
Has there been any progress lately? Any updates or fixes?

Hi,
This app in the Play Store is not compatible with Android 4 ICS and apparently the developer has abandoned it. (play.google.com/store/search?q=WebSMS+Developergar)
Is there a chance that someone here can continue this project? It is a really great app (sends 10 international sms/day for free) and I don't want to miss it when upgrading.
There is also an api available from developer garden. (w w w.developergarden.com/apis/apis-sdks/send-sms/)
I would be really grateful if someone here were to take over this project!
Cheers!
P.s.: also see this thread for description of the issue: code.google.com/p/websmsdroid/issues/detail?id=635&q=ics&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Product%20Component%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
It's sad that the developer abandoned the project. It used to work great.
However, the developergarden APIs are publicly available. When I have time, I will dig in the code, and attempt to build a little PHP script that can be used to send SMS via a browser. Once that is done, I will port the working prototype to an Android app/fix the connector.
Is there any progress with this? Would still love to use this!

Hi friends
This app seems like a good document editor for MS office and pdf, the user interface looks decent and there are dropbox, Google drive integration.
I'm curious on trying this app, but my Tablet isn't eligible for the download due to region restrictions.
Could a kind soul grab the app for me on Google Play and post the apk here?

It's incredibly amazing, though also paaaaaaainfully slow... not the connection, just the interface. I'd mainly need this for Excel (haven't found an Android Office suite that does XY scatter plots!) but the sluggishness would need some getting used to on my otherwise very fluid device.
The interface is pretty annoying to get around in, since it's so cramped. Luckily my dock's touch pad can help with that. What's weird thuough, is that it doesn't recognize some physical keyboard-specific inputs, like arrow keys. You'd think they might have tested for that?

There was an update for Cloudon posted in July, does anyone have this version? Can't get it from the play store on my phone or my tablet (HP Touchpad). I need it for school, my laptop is in for warranty and I don't have a lot of spare time to sit in a lab, I have to work while taking a bus.
Edit: Version 2.0.7.33 is the latest.
Thanks.

Could someone with a tablet upload the latest .apk
I got latest phone version through my old HTC Desire(Bravo) but when I install it on my Padfone 2(Which does not have official support for this app yet) it only enables the phone version of this app.
While the version posted up here enable the tablet mode but because they are to old it won't let me login. Giving me an error that these version of the app are to old and no longer supported.
If anyone is interested the phone .apk I can upload it.

Hey guys, just found a new app called Hovernote for $.99 in the playstore:
'It's simply a note app that hovers over whatever you're doing. In a world where it's necessary to launch a full-screen app on a ten inch device to jot down three words, Hovernote is a godsend. You can have multiple notes open, copy, paste and share from them, and even use the app on phones/tablets"
The more apps like these we get, the more I can appreciate what Android brings to the table!

Very cool. I can see how this would be massively helpful for studying and taking notes from e-books.

Hey, yeah its a great app. Will do!
Thank you mjlim for creating another floating app to add to my arsenal . I bought it instantly once coming across the android police article to show my support for more floating apps (hint: I buy all floating apps )
Woot! Another floating app bought.
Really useful app, and if they keep popping at those prices I'm gonna buy all of them ^^
Read the save locally feature is being worked on... the app is looking really neat. Great work

Currently, no. I might do one in the future, but for now you can purchase the app and try it out for about 10 minutes; Google Play has a 15-minute return window in which if you don't like an app, you can have your purchase refunded (more accurately, never charged) via a button on the app's page.
great app..just purchased
It's funny how I and another person who commented on the Android Police post about the floating app library were just hoping for someone to make a floating note taking app and a day or 2 after, there we have it!
Too cool. Bought it in a heartbeat. Thanks dev!
Got this app and I love it. I works over everything, video, office, browser. Swiftkey is active on it so spellcheck is also available. Nice.
To the author;
New features that I'd love to see. A widget instead of status bar notification and direct text file save.
Thanks!

Hi!
Just so you know, I released an update yesterday that includes:
text file read/write
window transparency
an option to turn off the notification that appears after you close the last note
I'm not too sure about using a widget, since you can only access those from the homescreen... maybe I could display a list of recently opened files in a widget eventually, though.
I've gotten some feedback on there being too many notifications, so I'll see if I can come up with some alternative means (configurable, because I don't want to force it on people) to select individual notes.

Really liking this app. Its nice being able to use this app and sending the notes to my regular note taking app. I'm liking the floating window apps that are starting to come out.

Love the app. There is a method to get it free out there but after 3-4 days (when I got paid), I bought it to support the dev.
One thing I would like to see is an option to set a default open/save location. I usually save mine to sdcard/notes/.

Thanks for buying it. I didn't include any of the licensing or antipiracy libraries because it would be inconvenient, and the app is open source anyway; I definitely appreciate your purchase!
In the last version hovernote now remembers the last folder you were in when you opened or saved a file, and that's the default next time you open the file picker.
Thanks for sharing this. Its exactly was I needed.
Great job to the developer.

Doesn't seem to be working for me then. Just tried it on my TFP and it is going to the SD card every time.
so there's a free book on Play Store about making photos with Android smartphones:
The basics, and I do mean basics, are covered here. The book opens with a description of the best way to hold a phone for both horizontal and vertical pictures, and while this may seem obvious to some users, there's no shame in admitting if your picture-taking form could use some work.
This book is written with the Nexus line of products in mind, and it's geared towards users running Android 4.2.2 or higher. If you have a Nexus 4 and are moving over from an HTC or Samsung product, this is a good way to get familiar with the latest version of the stock Android app. Brown provides pictures and goes through all of the app's options. Once you've taken your photo, there are sections dedicated to both sharing it and editing it using third-party applications such as Snapseed.

Hi everyone,
Mizuu is an app which will gather video files on your device and create your movie & tv show collection, then sync with trakt.tv.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for alternative apps that can do the same thing? I think they're called "scrapers" but I really am not sure.
Thanks for any help.
So a few months have passed now, and Mizuu is officially retired. I haven't been able to find a worthy replacement, any suggestions?
Sent from my HTC_0PJA10 using Tapatalk
Today Mizuu stop fonctionning for TV shows, no more update from the TVDB and other sites
Still working for Movies, but cant see an alternative software I like like Mizuu !!
Hope the developer health is good as he stop to develop and maintain for that reason
Yes, unfortunately Mizuu has been progressively deteriorating without the support of the developer. I believe he made the code available for anyone else to continue working on, but I haven't read anything else about that.
There is hope though, the Mizuu developer has started a new project, similar to Mizuu, called Jolly. Check out the blog post on the Mizuu website for more information. No updates in a while though...

Old thread but found an alternative that looks just like Mizuu. Search for Mozee or com_stumi_mozee_1.1.4_10_31_2018.apk, and Nova Video Player (Achros fork) seems to work for the most part. Also found this comment elsewhere:
I'm still using Mizuu can't access sd card in it the since marshmallow. Workaround: install older version of the app, add sources and then update to latest version SD no crashes, no issuses on oreo.
