Hello !
I'm very new in this community, but I thought I could start with a topic. I'm searching for an app where I can meet new people around my new hometown. I changed my home two months ago but I didn't find new friends yet. Are there any apps where I can search people for common activities? So I didn't search people to flirt or date, I just want to do something with people in my neighbourhood.
Hope you understand what i'm searching for
Thanks and have a nice day!
You should be meeting them face to face or go to your local community centre to "break the ice". So far I don't think there is an app that does this.

of course, that's one way. But I thought the qoute "there is an app for this" is correct. Maybe there are some apps that I can use to accelerate this progress of finding new friends.

Yes but I use my Facebook-App only for privat friends or my work. So I not want to chat with new people or write under pics from other people so that my real friends can see this. You know what I mean?
Just want a new app like Tinder and so on but not with this dating part. Just for friends.
Found some apps called MeetMe, Meetup, Mico, NewFaces.io and WeChat. Did anybody know some of these apps ?!
I know Wechat lets you talk to strangers...

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.

Its been quite awhile since this thread was active, but I'm hoping someone has something new on this topic. I can't find any other threads that cover this issue...
Hi! Is there any way to sort search results on the Google market e.g. after downloads or views or rating? Thanks.
Ad
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
Not currently possible in the app, but it should be possible on the website.
Yeah on the website it works but whyyyy is Google not integrating it in the app.
Isn't there the possibility to integrate this function in a mod somehow?
Thx
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
Even on the website, the only options are by Popularity and by Relevance.
I wish i could sort by Rating, by Developer, alphabetically...
google seems to make it on purpose not to let you sort the results... MADAFAKAZ!! :x

It can barely find information about anyone asking about sorting results from play store. xda developers must be only ones who think outside the box.
How we can make it sort every search results as i want.
Like downloads, stars e.t.c.?
Sorting seems to have been removed from the website as well. Damn it Google, why must you turn everything to ****.
I've just had to reinstall after a full reset, and this has to be one of the worst aspects of the play store. I wish I understood programming, but is there anyone can make an app to fix this lack of sortability and lack of filtering?
I'm with @Newtoys, why does google always go one step to far and mess up perfectly good things?
Agreed: Google makes it Harder, not Easier!
Searching for a small business collaboration app
Only returns results with app that have the word "collaboration" in the title?
If I was a developer, I would be reluctant to ever get involved,
how are potential customers supposed to find your App if you don't give it a name that sound too much alike all the other apps in the same category.
And Furthermore: I don't care about the icon, I want to be able to scan an encapsulation of the capacity of the app... Who cares what color the button is going to be on my screen !!!
If Google is the "Ultimate Search Engine" why then can't I use a Google search to go through the Play Store Apps..?
NO !!! Instead it returns a listing of Other Web Sites and the Apps that they recommend ?
I am with you guys on this. Been wondering this for years now. I also found it weird that when I try and Google search this issue, this thread is the only one relevant to our problem. I'd be willing DL a modified play store app even. The worst is when I want to see about any new/updated apex themes and I have to browse a library of themes I've seen before.

lol, exact same f##@ up when im going thru Layers themes !! Usually we need the latest updated themes since they work as expected with updated AOSP Roms...but stupid google wont let me sort a list of apps by the 'last updated' date !!
Any 3rd party apps that browse the entire play store app catalogue and have the ability to sort them by their last updated date ?
same here... i want to sort apps by it size since the day start using play store but never see such feature or any proper useful sorting method in play store.. and when google for sprting apps, i end up right here... hope some1 has the solution for this... seriously...
Been using this app for years but lately it seemed to have stopped and I see dev gave up on it..... what does everybody use ? or any way to get this working again ???

Sort of in the same boat but haven't really been too motivated to replace it, but just for context, the reason for the stoppage seems to be that Facebook retired V1 of its public API on April 30 2015.
In theory anyone could take up the task of updating the haxsync source but afaik it hasn't generated any interest from a willing and able party.
Damnnnn sucks, which somebody would get it working again
Damnnn Surprised no other dev has taken up on this....... Haxsync had a nice fanbase and it was a paid app also...... Anybody found any alternative ?

In May 2015, Facebook dumped it's old API which supported getting a complete list of all your friends from within an app. The new API does not support this. The only friends it can see now are friends who have the same app. Facebook basically broke every app that does what Haxsync does. This is why you don't see any new ones.
I'm not an android dev. I'm just repeating what I was told. I do wonder why my dialer app on my LG G3 is still able to sync all photos, though. I think that is done automatically through the Facebook app. Maybe it has more permissions allowed through Facebook than standard apps. I don't know.
Hey!
Need your help guys! Recently my app was banned from Google Play Store with claim of repetitive content. I send immediately e-mail back to Google to find more detailed info about situation. As a reply I got again that it is a repetitive content. Now I am confused, because I am not sure what was wrong, because everything was made by us and there is no affilates to anything. We are trying to contact Google, but it is not possible. One thing that I was the most surprised, that Google always says that they are so reachable and always are in to help it users, but here I am convinced that it is not true.
Maybe some of you have experienced this issue and could maybe explain what could be possible reasons for the ban. Please share your stories!
Hmm, I have checked the policies of Google Play before, are you sure that the app content is unique and do not replicy other apps?

Yes, I am sure, because the code we wrote unique for this project, nothing was copied. My biggest concern is about that there was no explanation. I understand that it is their platform, but there should be some kind of service.

What "useless"? Searching for a useful answer and not for such a useless comment! Tried to find something in the web. Couldn't find anything regarding my request. Since my last device restart the Google search looks like in my screenshot. Square, simple and without the "G" logo and microphone.

Don't wanna blaim anything nor anyone. I just wanna know if it is normal and if someone else's got the same look of the search bar. Is it kind of new design or is it an ui failure on Sony devices. That's all. Hope some useful answers will follow!?

Yes I know. But it's kinda implemented in the Sony UI. And no one else of my friends with smartphones from different brand got the Search bar looking like in my Sony at the moment. And I don't mean the widget. I am talking about the Sony Homescreen setting option.
That's a Google mandated feature for "Android" phones. A lot of people change launchers to get rid of the search bar. You could do the same to change it.
I quickly switched back to the Xperia Home launcher to take a look and yes my google search bar is the same as yours now. All generic looking rectangle. I tried changing the way it looks in the google app, I tried clearing cache and data of both the google app and the xperia home app, and nope, it stays that way. It maybe a bug introduced by Sony, or it maybe on purpose, we will never know. Sony's customer service is one of the worst ones out there when it comes to communication so asking them will probably never work.
(I use nova, but unlike all these "elitists" I do not scold ppl for using something they prefer and I try to help them if I can, so on the behalf of the old xda when there used to be more helpful ppl compared to the current generation, I apologize)

While it maybe mandatory to have the search bar a part of the launcher, it is not forced upon the user they way you mentioned, as we can opt to not show the search bar in the Xperia Home launcher settings. We don't need to change launchers just to get rid of it like how you implied.

Thank you very much. That's kind of answer I was looking for. Just wanted to know if someone else got the same. So I don't have to look for a solution or start troubleshooting. Will stay with. For voice requests I can still use the assistant button and for the rest the search bar is still working the same.
I'm on stock Android 12 with stock Sony launcher. Mine looks the same as always

Just done the same test also. I can confirm I have the same issue.
Currently on FW 61.1.A.11.36 if it makes any difference.
I use Lawnchair so this issue doesn't really effect me, but still Sony should fix it.

Found the same request in the Sony Support Forum but no answer/response yet.
Sony Xperia 5 II Search bar is strange
I have a strange search bar. I made a screen capture video and took a picture from it, of topic question, can you make a screen copy of the home screen in an android phone? As you see in the bottom the search widget is square and not with the Google G. Just the word Sök, Swedish for search...
community.sony.co.uk
FYI: Issue got solved due to the current Google app update!
