The fourth public release of Pomodroid brings some new features and corrections:
- Fixed bug when rotating the device under a running Pomodoro. Pomodoro Activity is forced to stay in portrait mode
- Bigger Pomodoro Timer
- Pomodoro.java completely rewritten. Makes use of Handler and Runnable instead extending CountDownTimer
- Notification system completely rewritten: user is notified through real Notifications, vibrations and Toasts.
- The new notification system is also used in PomodroidException.java
The apk is already in the Market.
Everything else can be found in the official project page.

Being encouraged by the 130 downloads nine days after its official release, I’m going to work further on Pomodroid.
This release has a new feature: it permits XML-RPC calls on Trac as anonymous user. This is useful if you have XmlRpcPlugin installed on your trac but don’t have the permissions to use XML-RPC for your user. Pomodroid will work anyway, as it will perform remote calls as anonymous user, but it will query for your user anyway.
Moreover, this release improves the layout of the Pomodoro activity.
I’m always looking for volunteers to cooperate on the project!
Release 0.3.0 is on the market. Sources are on GitHub.

A tiny update for the (still) alpha project Pomodroid.
I added some new Power Management features:
- When running a Pomodoro, the Android phone is prevented from going stand-by. That is, it will never block the screen and go to sleep. The block is released when Pomodoro Activity looses focus.
- When running a Pomodoro, screen brightness is set at a minimum level to save battery. When Pomodoro either finishes or is broken, screen brightness is restored to its original value
From this version, I am also going to use Semantic Versioning rules.
The APK has already been uploaded to the Market.

I am looking for help in improving Pomodroid, the Android Agile Activity manager for the Pomodoro Technique.
It has just been released. The idea behind it is great but there are infinite possible improvements! As example, the possibility to add more sources besides Trac. The user interface can further be improved by a designer. Documentation is scarce. Any kind of help would really appreciated!
See http://wiki.github.com/BodomLx/Pomodroid/project-status for a (tiny) list of help needed.
Contact me if you would like to apply!
Cheers

I’m very pleased to announce that Pomodroid, a project on which I worked for three months with a University mate, has now been released for the general public.
Pomodroid is a Java/Android application that interacts with a Trac system, retrieves developer’s tasks and lets him work following the basic rules of the Pomodoro technique.
Pomodroid focuses on basic features of the technique. It does not focus on advanced techniques, such as the prediction of the number of Pomodoros needed for an activity. See “Features and limitations” for more details.
Welcome Activity
You can read more on the official page of the project, which is http://task3.cc/projects/pomodroid/.
The projects still needs some cleanup because of internal features used in the University that are not of interestet for the public. It is also very limited right now. Everybody is free to download the code and contribute. It will be soon published on the market. Enjoy!
A running Pomodoro

For those that chose ext4 as default file-system type for their boot partition, and are having problems booting their Slackware 13.0 distribution, I built a .tgz package containing the latest Grub 2 release (currently 1.97-beta4).
It also contains a default grub.cfg file.
Please download the file here: grub-1.97~beta4-i486-1.tgz for Slackware 13.0
It should also work for Slackware 12.x and 11.0.
Enjoy!
P.S. The package is based on the one created for Grub-1.96 by user mbvo on linuxquestions.org. I simply adapted it for Grub-1.97. I also provided a new description for the package and a simpler grub.cfg file.
