self-keygen tutorial by synack

previously, i posted a keygen tutorial and challenge, and synack has put his solution forward along with an interesting tutorial on creating a self-keygen, or a keygen that makes use of the original code to do the heavy lifting. it's very clearly written and organized, with plenty of good insight into the thought process as opposed to low-level "click here change this with no idea why" style tutorials.

Reading app

Read It Later: Very nice app for those of us that travel a lot or spend a lot of time in areas with poor wireless coverage. With this app you can save web pages or videos to your phone or tablet to view later. It can be very handy when you're stuck in an airport or in an airplane with no wireless connection. Once saved you don't need wifi to read articles or watch the video. The article view converts all articles in a nice format that's easy to read and allows you to change the text size (for those like me who are almost blind). Here's the link.

Workout app

Jefit: This is an app targeted mostly towards the people interested in weigh lifting and body building. It's designed by pros and has a large exercise and routine database. You can track your workouts, body statistics and lifting progress. Also, customizable routines and exercises to create a weekly workout routine of your own. I wish I could use this app, but I get tired just by looking at the pictures. Here's the link. Happy workout!

==========

Common Questions/Answers for Poweramp v2.x:

Q. Poweramp 2.0 skips on Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
A. Please set Large in Poweramp Settings => Audio Engine => Advanced Tweaks => Audio Buffer Size.

Q. My songs are missing from folders/library.
A. Please ensure you have all your folders with music actually checked in Poweramp Settings => Music Folders.
Your original Android Library is not changed, nor any files deleted.
Poweramp 2.0.1 has Auto-find option in Settings. This will import your Android library folders into Poweramp.

Poweramp library is a separate, completely independent library. When you installed Poweramp 2.0, it just got filled with the files scanned from your sd card/other flash memory, as specified in Music Folders. By default these are /music, /mp3 and Google music cache directory, or the Poweramp 1.4 previous music folders settings.

Q. Freeze/too slow folders/library scan
A. You have (semi)broken SD card. Please check your SD card for errors on computer or try another SD card.

Q. Where is Auto-advance Setting now in Poweramp 2.0
A. It's merged with Repeat modes. Just keep pressing Repeat mode until Advance List.

Q. Volume too low. Volume changes weirdly. Other volume issues.
A. Try to disable Direct Volume Control in PowerAMP Settings => Audio Engine => Advanced Tweaks.

Poweramp 2.x uses Direct Volume Control by default on 2.3+ mid-to-high end devices. On stock ROMs this produces much better audio output. But many custom/buggy ROMs, while supporting DVC, can fail with it.

Q. Poweramp 2.0 widget becomes white/doesn't work on phone reboot
A. This can happen if something blocks Poweramp from starting on reboot and updating the widget - task managers, auto-start tweaking. If you use such apps/tweaks, you may need to add Poweramp (or/and WidgetPack) to exceptions list.

Q. Can I get Poweramp v1.4 look?
A. You can download "Poweramp Classic Skin" on Market.

Scanner Radio v3.5.1 - Download APK

Scanner Radio v3.5.1
Scanner Radio v3.5.1


Description

Listen to police and fire departments from around the world on your phone.

Listen to live audio from over 2,900 police and fire scanners, weather radios, and amateur radio repeaters from around the world (with more being added daily).

Features:

* Add scanners you listen to the most to your Favorites list for quick access.
* View scanners that are located nearest you, sorted by distance, by clicking on "Near Me"
* View the top 50 scanners that have the most listeners (updated every 5 minutes).
* View list of scanners added most recently (new additions are being added all the time).
* Browse the directory of scanner feeds by location or by genre (public safety, weather, railroad, etc).
* Configure alerts to have the app notify you when lots of people are listening to a scanner (indicating that something big may be happening).
* Add Scanner Radio widgets and/or shortcuts to your phone's home screen for quick access.
* Add a "Scanner Radio Favorite" shortcut to your home screen to launch a scanner feed via an alarm clock app or automation app.

This is the free version of the app, below are the benefits of purchasing the Pro version (for $2.99):

* The Pro version contains no ads.
* Allows you to specify what times of day you want to receive listener alerts.
* Allows you to setup listener alerts for scanners located near you.
* The play button at the top of the directory screens and on the widgets is functional.
* Allows you to listen to archived audio (from the past 30 days) if you have a RadioReference.com Premium Subscription. Their premium subscription is $15 for 6 months, without it you will not be able to access their audio archives using the app.

The audio is provided by volunteers using real scanner radios. If your area is not available, see the menu in the app for information on how to get it added.

Explanation of why various permissions are needed:

The "Modify global system settings" permission is needed in order for the app to be able to change the device's "Wi-Fi Sleep Policy" to "Never" (but only with your permission). When you run the app, it will check the setting and ask you if you would like for it to be changed to "Never" (if it's set to something else) so that the scanner audio won't be interrupted if the screen turns off while you're listening over Wi-Fi.

The "Phone Calls / Read Phone State" permission is needed by the app so that it can detect when you're placing a phone call (or when one is being received) so that it can automatically stop the streaming of the audio to prevent it from interfering with the call.

The "Fine (GPS) Location" and "Coarse Location" permissions are required so that the app can determine what scanners are located in your area when you click on "Near Me". When you click on "Near Me" the app first attempts to determine your location via the network, if that fails the app then tries to determine your location via GPS.

The "Automatically Start at Boot" permission is required so that a small portion of the app can be started when your phone boots if (and only if) you turn on the listener alert checking feature of the app (that feature is turned off by default).

If the audio repeats or the app stays connected for only a short time, try returning to a directory screen in the app, then select "Settings" from the menu, then "Player settings", and then try changing the "Streaming method" setting.

Note that the widgets are not available if the app has been installed on an SD card. If you can't find the widgets, move the app off of your SD card.

Follow "Scanner Radio" on Facebook or ScannerRadio on Twitter to be notified about service interruptions, new beta versions, etc.
