Special thanks to Prisma Puzzle Timer, TNoodle and PlusTimer for being my inspirations to create this project :).

twistytimer's Issues

Option to make quick action buttons bigger

Import from txt or backup

Doesnt show or update the new best times

Share averages of 5/12

Option to add custom puzzles to the list

Puzzle substeps scramblers

It would be nice to have scramblers to train some specific substeps of a solving method. For example one for F2L (that puts the cube in a solved cross state), one for PLL or OLL.

The one for F2L could be easily implemented by adding the moves to solve the cross (generated by the hints section) to the scramble.

Also a timer for the cross that uses the standard 3x3 scramble (this is related to #24) would be useful.

Metronome

Android wear module

Is it possible to add an android wear module to this project?

It will be really nice to control the timer via the wear module

Option to hide time when solving

Graph times over time

Currently from my understanding graph displays times(solves) over count therefore I can see how I progress over time.

IDEA: For this there could be graph over days (Average of day). (Maybe with days without time as empty space? So it's more accurate representation of data over time)

Add category to list even if the user hasn't done any solves on it.

Importing from txt crashes with ClassNotFoundException org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils

Finally managed to export my old times from Cube Companion but it seems a jar is missing from this latest build that is preventing me from importing them.

Maintain state on orientation change

Adjust scramble text size

Verbal 8- and 12-second warnings during inspection time

In WCA competitions, the competitor does not see how much inspection time they have remaining, and instead only gets a verbal warning after 8 and 12 seconds have passed. I'd appreciate Twisty Timer also providing such verbal warnings, so as to more closely imitate the format of a competition, and so that I do not have to look away from the puzzle to see how much time is remaining.

Crash when pressing "back" while in inspection

missing drawable resource 'ic_code_white_24dp'

the drawable used for contributors button is missing

Category indicator text

There should be text (maybe optional) which will show in which category you are because when I have 2 sometimes I do solve in wrong category. I'm talking about that pencil icon in top right corner where you can make and change categories.

P.S. Not a big problem just minor addition

Automatic backup

[FEATURE] MBLD

Multi blindfolded support.
It's should give as many scrambles as you want.

Back button to cancel solve

Sessions

Support for custom RGB colors

Special scrambles (OLL, LSE etc)

Pause button

Proper keyboard for adding times

It currently opens a full QWERTY keyboard. I haven't found a way to show a digit keypad but still allow comma, period and colon.

Add a visual cue that the timer will start

Add PB mean of 3

Rolling averages

The graph could also display a rolling average to see overall trends within a session/overall.

incorrect syntax in translations file (it)

there is an unclosed tag in values-lt/strings.xml. Which causes issues while building the project.

Press back button twice to exit

I find quite annoying that when I'm on the timer, times list or graph "page" if I press the back button the app will immediately close. I suggest that when I'm on the times list or on the graph, pressing the back button will take me to the timer "page", and pressing the button twice will close the app.

[BUG] left over inspection +2

Reproduce bug:
*Get +2 on inspection
*Start timer
*Press back to cancel solve
*Do next solve normally
*And you will get +2

Exiting app by pressing back button (BUG)

*From references
*From other tabs (like graph). It would be nice if after pressing back button you will get back to main timer tab

And it would be nice if you needed double back button press to exit app. It could show dialog or pop up "press again to exit"

Best time line

Graph could also display line of best time. Not straight line of current best time but line for every record until it's beaten.

Don't keep the screen on when the timer is not running

the line#8 in fragment_timer.xml causes the screen to keep powering down as the android:keepScreenOn flag is kept true throughout the fragment lifecycle.

The same can be done programatically using getWindow().addFlag(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON) when the timer is started and clearing the flag later when the timer is stopped. This keeps the device from going to sleep only when the timer is running.

This behavior is consistent from other time keeping apps (e.g., the default alarm app on android)

Add option to change scramble image size

Scramble list

Cross and XCross finder

Median

I think that would be a nice addition.

F2L references

would be nice

Switch to hide 100% algs from alg list

Drop to stop

Stop the timer when you hit the table.

Import solves from other timers

Aa and Ab PLLs have same scrambles

Timer/Graph page disappearing

On the hamburguer menu, press "Timer", then change phone orientation or app theme.
The fragment still gets created (onCreate and the rest are called), but the page is blank.

Annoying graph (sometimes)

There is to many lines on graph and I can't see clearly.

Fix: Add toggle for lines.

Remember last puzzle

When opening the app the timer starts automatically with the 3x3 while it would be useful if it started with the last puzzle solved.

This should be a setting probably.

Trend line

Example format for text import correct

The example format shown in the dialog when importing a .txt format is incorrect. The pop-up shows:

"1:32.15"; "R U2"; "2016-03-16T08:16:42"

But it should be:

"4:24.58";"R U2";"2016-11-22T23:52:48.000+01:00"

Importing a file just the first sample line leads to a crashing application. Importing the correct format works without a problem. I found the correct format by exporting some results and opening it with a text editor.

Stackmat Timer support

Recording time via speedstacks timer will be a good feature, I think.

Option to disable alert before removing a solve
