Organized Way to Find or Become an Alpha/Beta App Tester
Users are fickle, and the only way to avoid their wrath when it comes to app development is to perform your due diligence by testing, testing, testing. For developers, this means finding people who know what they’re doing and have a range of different devices that you don’t own. On the other hand, how many threads have you see where a developer describes what they’re working on and the thread is immediately flooded with users wanting to get a copy right now in order to ‘help’ with the testing?
But there is a solution, which is to finding dependable Guinea Pigs or become one yourself. Check out the App Tester registry thread over in in our App Development forums. XDA Senior Member Benkxda is maintaining the thread, which starts off with the ground rules for the program laid out for both testers and developers. People willing to report back on Alpha or Beta versions of a new app can be added to the list by sending a PM with the exact device you’ll use in testing. This gives developers an idea of which devices are represented in the pool of pigs (sorry, I couldn’t resist!). Rather than having to line up each tester separately, a developer can just post to the thread asking for help and interested individuals will respond to them.
App Development: The Future of App Development Forums at XDA – XDA Developer TV
Recently, XDA added a set of forums focusing solely on App Development. We knew that XDA was missing a central hub for app developers to converse about things like development tools, prototyping, analytics, monetization, testing, security, localization, education, and so on. In addition to the forums, we are providing assistance to app developers in any way we can.
To assist app developers, XDA Developer TV Producer Jayce takes a break from talking about how to become a hacker and hacker schools and asks you what you want to hear about regarding app development. Jayce will then find experts and get their insights on the topics you want to hear about, so leave a comment and tell us what you want to know, and be sure to check out this video.

Record Your Phone Calls with Incall Recorder
Call recorders are often sought out for a myriad of reasons. However, the phone call recording apps out there are always a hit and miss for certain users, with some reporting desired functionality while others only get a buggy memory placeholder. If you find yourself needing to record a call for whatever reason, maybe give Incall Recorder a go.
Developed by XDA Senior Member zakiancel, Incall Recorder’s primary function is to, as inferred from its name, record calls on your Android smartphone as well as doubling up as a voice recorder. The app presents itself with an intuitive user interface that’s logical and straightforward. On it’s initial start up, Incall Recorder introduces the main features and aspects of the app so to get you familiar with functions and interface. There are a couple of ways to record calls: through a hovering recording button that appears when a call is active, automatically recording all calls, and recording by tapping the notification in the drop-down notification area. Zakiancel claims an hour of recording is encoded to just a 7 MB MP3 file. Playing, searching, renaming, sharing, and deleting recordings is also extremely simple, as Incall Recorder has its handy own record manager.
Again, if you have had a lackluster experience with other call recorders out in the market, the 1.6 MB Incall Recorder is definitely worth a try. If Incall Recorder sounds like an app you would like to try out, check out the original thread for more details. Just be sure to keep in mind that in certain areas, call recording may be illegal. Furthermore, even where it is allowed, you should always inform the other party that they are being recorded out of common courtesy.

Now Playing Beta, a Google Now-Themed Music Player
As Holo UI-themed applications are gradually streamlining the Android app market with pleasing aesthetics, it’s with no surprise that more app developers are naturally conforming to these standards. XDA Forum Member Jack Underwood has developed Now Playing Beta, a music app with the design philosophy of Google Now in mind.
Now Playing, for an app still in it’s beta, is a well designed and polished music player for Android that bundles an intuitive and minimal interface with the clinical yet fresh and elegant appearance of Google Now. Users navigate through different categories of the music library with horizontally sliding screens displaying albums, artists, and songs, as well as other classifications. The ‘now playing’ screen again, consist of 3 sliding screens: album art, currently playing playlist, lyrics. Each screen is accompanied by a bar at the bottom with the standard play/pause, previous and next, shuffle and repeat buttons.
However, it’s also the little, subtle touches that gives the app that extra finish. Next to each album and artist, there is the associated album art and artist picture that Now Playing draws from the web. Now Playing also has widgets and equalizer support if your device supports it.
If this sounds like something you would like to try out, head over to the original thread for more details and a free download.

[Q] Users lost system groups
Hi.
I hope you will understand my english.
5 days ago i bought chinese tablet PC (CUBE U21GT) it have Android 4.1.1 (that’s my first android device, so i have no experience in android. But little experience in linux).
Right to the problem – i rooted it and it worked great. Then replaced folder /system/etc/permissions with folder from other tablet. And that was bad idea.
After reboot “com.google.process.gapps“, “youtube” and “system update” crashed. And alot other programs was unable to run because of crash. Wifi disappeared from settings.
I rebooted it more 2 times and nothing changed. I placed old “permissions” folder back (i backuped it before replacing) and after reboot wifi appear in settings. But wifi icon is gray and programs still crashing and browser and google play says that they don’t have internet.
Youtube client have log so i looked there – and it got “java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied (missing INTERNET permission?)“
So after investigation i see that users don’t have groups. I run console and do “ping google.com” and it says “You must have internet permissions to use ping. Aborting.“.
I googled source code of ping and see – “if (!isInSupplementaryGroup(AID_INET))“, from list system groups from google i see that AID_INET=inet=3003.
I asked friend to run console on his tablet PC and do “id” and he have groups (sdcard_rw, sdcard_r, inet) i runed “id” in virtualbox where i have android installed too, and i have same groups there.
Console program have user u0_a99, so i did from “su” command and then “ping google.com“, and it works! I did “busybox adduser -G inet u0_a99” and it says “unknown group name: inet“. Group “root” also don’t exists.
For test i created group “inet” with id 3003, and it created. But that didn’t help, but that mean that group really deleted.
But when i created group it created file /etc/group that dont exist in android by default. So that mean that that those system groups somewhere in other place. So maybe they not deleted, maybe they just disabled.
How i can fix that? I even can’t google how to see list of existing groups. Google shows me “SMS GROUPS” and other stuff that i dont need.
I can just reinstall firmware, but its more interesting to fix this problem.
Thank you.

How do I customize all icons for all apps?
Hello everyone. I would like to change all the icons for all the apps on my phone. How would I go about doing this? I have Desktop Visualizer, but I don’t think that is going to do the job. I have many icons to use, just not sure where to put them or how. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
