I need to put a bit more research in this, as it is cannot read OV Chipkaart fare/balance out of the box: it needs some encryption information from that card.
FareBot by CodeButler is open source, and it might even be possible to write information to the fare cards.

Cool, I just found out that Wikipedia has a Screenshot topic, listing how to take screenshots (and often shots of the current window) on many platforms, where (*) means I verified them:

Great! And it is open source at https://github.com/google/nogotofail:
The Android Security Team has built a tool, called nogotofail, that provides an easy way to confirm that the devices or applications you are using are safe against known TLS/SSL vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Nogotofail works for Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, Chrome OS, OSX, in fact any device you use to connect to the Internet.
There’s an easy-to-use client to configure the settings and get notifications on Android and Linux, as well as the attack engine itself which can be deployed as a router, VPN server, or proxy.

This year I presented Push notifications with Android. Here are the files mentioned in the session!
- Here is the android project: CodeRage Delphi
- Here is the TGCMReceiver Component and java file: TGCMReceiver
- And here is the post that helped me albeit out of date! Link to StackOverflow
Android Push Notifications
Want to send push notifications to your clients or employees? This session goes over setting up GCM, installing push notifications into your application, and calling GCM to push those messages to your app.

Too bad a Mac – no matter the OS X version – does not interoperate out of the box with Android like a Windows machine does.
On a Mac you need Android File Transfer to access the Android storage from your Mac.
This transfer app is very fast though and is way easier to use than doubleTwist.
From the Nexus help:
Mac OS transfer
- Install Android File Transfer from www.android.com/filetransfer, and follow the instructions there. (If you are using Android File Transfer for the first time, double-click it to open it. After the first connection, it opens automatically whenever you connect.)
- Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable. Android File Transfer starts, if it’s not already running, and opens a window that displays the contents of your phone, along with storage space details at the bottom of the window.
- Work with this window much as you do in the Finder window: open and close folders, create new folders, and drag files to or from it and other Finder windows.
- Disconnect the USB cable when you finish.

That’s what I did: transfer the apps I really needed through the Google Play website.
What may be faster is to get on the Google Play website and initiate the installs from there.

I just installed the Google Now Launcher on my Nexus 4 that runs KitKat (Android 4.4) from the AppStore.
Looks nice, though I could not get “Call Brother” configured (it thinks there are 3 entries for him, and selecting any of them does not make a selection).
But being able to start voice stuff with one click less is convenient.
Now hopefully the battery duration won’t be affected by another piece of software.
