This app forces the Android Media Scanner torun.I do this whenever I see duplicates in the music list, or when Imanually add and media to the device over USB.It works with the newer phones including 4.0 ICS/Ice CreamSandwich and 4.1 JB/Jelly bean, and now 4.2.To test the media scanner or to clean out the media cache:Go to settings.Click All Applications tab.Click Media Storage.Click Clear Data.Click OK.Now run Force Media Scanner and click the Scan button.It will take a long time the first time you do this, as it hasto read and process each video, and music file on the device.Afterwards, runs will be much faster, and it's just updating themedia store.It's new, so if you have any issues, please email me.

This app displays the Random Entropy Available as presented in thekernel.This should be used alongside Seeder or in conjunction with yourown performance testing.There is currently some discussion the loading apps requiresthere to be random numbers available.I got the idea after reading over this forum post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36359613I read up about random entropy seeding and I'm using thefollowing values:Performance changes:Do not randomize address spaces: Performance Gain at loss ofsecurity?busybox sysctl -w kernel.randomize_va_space=0Minimum number to write random numbers: (Goal is 4096, so thisis 25%.) Observed value 133 at beginning.sysctl -w kernel.random.write_wakeup_threshold=1024sysctl -w kernel.random.write_wakeup_threshold=4096Minimum number to read random numbers: // gives it more time toread?sysctl -w kernel.random.read_wakeup_threshold=512Also interesting: I took a bunch of screenshots for this apprelease, and the number dipped down quite a bit..

NEW!: Please enter notes about where you took the reading, whatlake, what water tap, what bottle, et.c.NEW!: Consider adding a map with quality data from around theworld. Please contribute accurate readings!NEW!: I'm considering adding a map or chart system where you cansee the water quality around the world. Please rate the app andleave comments if you'd like to see that.NEW!: Widened the search range to 100 latitudinal/longitudinaldegrees (to 690 miles/1120km, was 10 degrees or 70miles/112km) soyou can see those around you easier. More entertaining I think.This app came about after I started playing with the waterpurity meter that comes with ZeroWater Filters.The TDS meter measures total dissolved solids in water.Using the meter, you can determine how clean your water is.I started measuring things around the house, tap water, lakewater, river water, bottled water, to get a feel for it.This application allows you to submit your readings and searchfor other readings of people near you.

This app shows a list of plastic recyclingsymbols. It has information as to what temperatures are safe, whatthe plastics are commonly used for, and the estrogenic actioneffects and estrogenic potential for each category.I have wanted to do this app for a long time.When I was doing research for this app, I learned a lot aboutestrogen and plastics, and I'll likely produce another app todiscuss the interaction in the near future.

This application attempts to remount thewritable partitions with noatime and nodiratime of the device.This speeds up I/O about 30%.It requires the phone to be rooted.

Earl Shoaff, who explained life and philosophy interms of farming and growing.Jim Rohn and his lot such as Dennis Waitley were some of themost famous believers of The Secret or visualization of the1900-2000s. He did ground it in reality, however, as he advocatedworking towards your goals. It wasn't enough, he said, to dream anddesign your future. You had to stride towards it. The world willmeet you halfway, and friends and acquaintances will work to helpyou when you deserve it.He was the famous mentor to Tony Robbins.

Ok, so the story goes, I was out running andIcame across an old abandoned well.Fascinated, I attempted to spit in it, to determine how deepitwas.I counted the seconds, and then tried to remember theequationsfor a falling body. It is distance equals one half ofthegravitational constant (because I was on earth at the time,nearthe surface; which I recommend, you really should try it)timestime distance squared.So that nets you meters, but then you have to convert toftbecause I don't think in meters, and I couldn't remember ifyoudivided or multiplied by three point three...Anyhow, this app does all the math for you.Just spit or drop a rock or piece of dirt, count the numberofseconds until it hits the bottom and enter into app.Just, please, do not drop any object on any other objectthatmight care. No people, cars, etc.I will not be held responsible if you do.

This app turns your phone into a dog,whichmisses you when you're away.This app idea came to me one day when I realized how muchwetreat our phones like people. (CalledPersonification,Anthropomorphism... et.c.)Anyhow, I got the idea that when your away from your phone forawhile, it should say "I miss you" when you got back.So this app does that.It also emotes... it gets happy or angry depending on howlongyou've been away.It helps, in my testing, to think of the phone as apreferredgender. That way it's not [as] awkward.The app learns you, so as it runs, it learns what a "normal"timeaway is, and says hello less.There's some examples in the screenshots, check it out.Oh, permissions:Vibrate - so the phone can let you know when it's happy toseeyou (or angry.) Brief vibrate is used.Boot Receiver - so the app can start when you restart yourphoneso you don't have to run it each time.
