I'm announce I rewrite my program Phone Profiles to be compatibility with Windows Mobile Second Edition.
My goal is: fix all bugs from the previos versions, and design the most understandably and easy to use interface.
To do the best work, I'm awaiting all your comments and suggestions.
For the person who give me most of feedbacks I will give a free copy of the new version.
Below you see first screnshots of new settings dialogs.
As you know, the Second Edition software have to run on 240x240 240x320 480x640 both in portrait and landscape orientation. I designed these dialogs in main area 240x240 always. The title will be move to the right side in landscape mode and will hide in the smaller 240x240 devices.
For Phone Calls, SMS, Email, MSN Messanger and Alert settings all dialogs will duplicate. But in this version there are 2 dialogs for each feature. 1: for general options and 2: for selecting the sound file and volume.
You can notice I added the feature: Reaction. This will allow you to set what your device should do when the new phone call is upcoming or finished. For example you can turn off the device power automatically after your talking will finish. Finally I added here the possibility to turn on the speakerphone mode automatically (without car-set connected).

1st recommendation
...
FIX THE DEAD LINKS ON YOUR WEB SITE!
Now, if you do that, then I might believe you're serious about listening to your customers about bug fixes.
I apologize about being so harsh, but you've really irked a lot of people.

?
:?:
excuse me: which one (link)?
I thought I updated some pages lately.

question
Can you set repeating alert for missed calls and SMS?

sms reply
As you can see above (refresh, I just added more screenshots):
I added the auto-reply message for SMS.
8) :lol:
The feature of SMS arrived sound has the following values:
Sound: nothing
Sound: once
Sound: normal
Sound: longer ( = 2x)
Sound: longest ( = 5x)
I dont think the continuous repeat is necessary. It is danger because it can discharge your battery (for example when you use PPC with no fully charged battery, long day).
If you really want a looooong sound of SMS, just make your own sound with a long time of playing. As I did it for my friend some time ago.

More than four profiles would be very useful, JGUI. Example:
Normal (medium sounds, no vibrate: desktop)
Loud (loud sounds, vibrate: pocket)
Quiet (tiny sounds, no vibrate: late evening)
Vibrate (no sounds, vibrate: cinema)
Silent (no sounds, no vibrate, light flash: sleeping)
That is the only thing missing from My|Phone Profiles Version 3.1, which IMHO is still excellent software and works perfectly for me.
Version 5 was not good. Too many features, and too many bugs.
Keep it simple and make it work perfectly! Good luck with the new version.

ok
with respect to your suggestion:
less features
5 profiles will be
or maybe to be more conveniently I will give the selector: 3/4/5 profiles
thx

check out PocketZenPhone...its much much stable then Phone Seriously..or wadever its called...and its has updates every few 2-3 weeks time, zendrui (owner of PocketZenPhone) listens to our bug lists and wish lists and he makes an effort to add it in every update...
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, ITS FREEWARE
heres the link if you miss that out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6162&highlight=pocketzenphone
the killer software

spot
please David, this is SPOT,
please use another way to do so
:twisted:
(maybe I should ask the author: why his copied my design of interface - icons placements, features)

For WM2003 Second Edition? Who would want that? The first Second Edition WM2003PE will be out sometime in June/July? The Motorola? Then It will take another 2-3 months before O2, I-Mate, Qtek provide upgrade to WM2003 SE. Serioously, shouldn't you put developing Phone Profile Seriously for WM2003SE at the bottom of your priority list and start listen to your customer first and fix all the bug that is still there in the current version. You probably should have at least 5 betatesters with different providers to test it for you before releasing to the public. Not using your paid customers as betatesters. This would be my suggestion for you.
I have not try your software yet and seeing so many unhappy posters in your thread I am a little bid reluctant to try especially when PocketZenPhone is working fine and Free.

Maybe you should ask the author why his software is working as expected, as opposed to the current version of Phone Profiles
As for the icon placement and features etc., Zendrui is listening very carefully to the users of his software, and his speed of implementing features requested by users/testers is awesome!

Give your product for free to be even with your customers
JGUI,
I bought your product and I was very disapointed because it never worked, even mor, the people from handango returned me the money.
I think that when you had a stable product you should give it for free just to compensate all the people you damaged.

excuse me
I have many customers use this program without problems. I'm too.
I dont understand why should be a free. This is my time of working. And "time is a money".
All my software has trial free versions. You can always test the trial version before you decide to pay. I think it's honour.
By the way, I made a few another freewares.

hey pal...you got to fix your problems first before venturing into Second Edition...
learn to walk before you run...
just my advice to you

Product should be free
JGUI,
You say the product should not be free because you spent your time writing it. We don't care how long it took you to write it--we care about whether the damn thing works!
How would you like to test drive a car for 30 days, only to find out it's running on 7 of the 8 cyclinders and 5th gear doesn't work!!! DO YOU CARE HOW LONG THE MANUFACTURER SPENT BUILDING IT? Hell no!
So, LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS and make a product that works. I think PocketZenPhone identified a need in the marketplace, recognized deficiencies in development and filled the gap with a good product!
Many-a-great software programmers cannot run a buisness. It sounds like you're headed down that path.
WE ARE YOUR CUSTOMERS--LISTEN TO US!

Ough! Basically you're saying "Well, since I cannot reproduce the problems some of my customers are facing, and other customers have no problems at all, I will not look into the issues some of my customers came up with."
In other words, you're like an internet Service Provider's helpdesk who doesn't care about the 2% people who are having odd problems...

Ok, fair enough, but at least you should ask people their hard-earned money for a working product, and give then valuable feedback where needed.

guys...we should all just forget about phones profiles and move to PocketZenPhone instead...trust me, you WILL NOT EVER regret it...
one thing i love about PocketZenPhone is that although its a freeware, the author makes a point to fulfill wishes of users although he doesnt make a single cent in it, zendrui is a patient guy and comes out updates 1-2 weeks once and i can say it meets all his users basic needs...
try it to believe
http://zendrui.free.fr/

I've tried JGUI Phone Profiles and had no problems at all. And i liked it much more than ZenPhone personally.
So stop those childish flame wars and give it a try so U can judge this new version.
BTW. I havn't tried any previous versions so i have totally no idea about those problems U R writing about. This ver. looks like nice peace of software IMHO...

personally i love pocketzenphone; tried out phone profiles but it had a lot of loose screws. zenphone is not only free; it also works.
cheers

If you are talking about this version as " Windows Mobile Second Edition Version" Then you are a big liar because this version is not even available yet?

i would appreciate feedback and feature-requests.
GOOD JOB!
I'm SO downloading this.
thanks for the support
Some initial comments and thoughts about this app:
- The tick at the top right feels naturally clickable. I guess that's because to the average windows phone user, that top right has always either been an "OK" or a "X" so it's somewhat natural to assume whatever icon is on the top right is clickable
- The physics of the flow of the menu items are very very sensitive. If I drag them for a distance equivalent to half of my screen height, they disappear for quite some time before they bounce back. It is also kind of laggy. I understand alot of this has to do with windows mobile OS itself, so I'm not blaming you on this. This is really a good UI effort.
Otherwise this application feels way beyond good comparing with the average windows mobile application. Its metro-like UI is REALLY appealing for a change for my windows mobile device. All functions are working great and browsing the news is a pleasure.
Definitely recommend this app to any windows mobile users in Singapore. I'm gonna spread this app to some friends and partners of mine in Microsoft. I'm sure they will be impressed with this! Good work!
Tested on: HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz) running Windows Mobile 6.5

ahhh its the sync icon. will display some other icon instead of the tick in next releases... did not occur to be since i been using 6.5.3 for some time

It is also kind of laggy. I understand alot of this has to do with windows mobile OS itself, so I'm not blaming you on this. This is really a good UI effort.
did not really got to test it with resistive devices. But much of the credit for the physics of the slider goes to Obenix. I think he has done a great job with that wonderful control. i would refer to him on the matter of being able to lower the sensitivity for non capacitive models
Otherwise this application feels way beyond good comparing with the average windows mobile application. Its metro-like UI is REALLY appealing for a change for my windows mobile device. All functions are working great and browsing the news is a pleasure. Perhaps an addition of font size option perhaps in the forms of + or - will be good.
i was hugely inspired and loved metro UI when it came out. was around the same time when i was designing the backend, so heck decided it should follow the WP7 design elements.
The A + or - was orignially a feature request from 'wm007' of mobinauts, credits to him for that idea. Will follow your advice and add the option to change the font size for all other windows in the next release as well. thanks

Most of the best pillars of this app would not be without the input or ideas of fellow users. thanks once again for the input.
oh ya, and here is the app compared against other variants on other platforms:
I have tried it on Omnia II and the application is well designed but abit of laggyness in scrolling up and down in the tiles section and the stories text section, if u reach the very end of the text, and overscrolls it, it will take a while to jump back to the text area. Overall i find the application simple and light
Btw, i noe the app through aeronex haha...
Wow! Great! Haha I guess the developers network for Windows Mobile in Singapore is indeed quite small! ^^ I know of several other windows mobile developers also working with not only Chris but also many other peeps in Microsoft.
In any case, The HD2 has the most capable processor, so I'm not entirely sure if it's a very fair test, but I can definitely vouch that this user interface is the best I've seen. I love it!
Apologies about the font + and - actually. I just realized that your app already has the small and big "A"s which in my opinion is more than enough. Very strange I missed that just now, apologies ^^

the only other wm i have is a LGKS20, it has the bounce lag issue. Also the part where the screen is QVGA and cannot "sense" the clicks on tiles. news loading times are averge. lol will do a comparison with all 4 devices next time

i am glad its working for you. i am still trying to find a permanent fix for my other samsung users who face the "outofmemoryexception". Do let me know if the app hangs for your device or what nots errors. So far this problem seems peculiar to the two samsung devices only.
Okae. Yeah, Ismael. The other Chris ^^
lol ya
anyhow, on a side note, got a nice email with some good news from microsoft this morning
Great! All the best for that!
ops, haha after the second try of the app and after i click on a news title to load a full story, i experienced a out of memory exception, it will go on and on even if i restart the application. Would you want the error details?
haha not to worry, am looking into that issue. hope to get it sorted out by this weekend
Congratulations on being featured on the frontpage! Read it on the twitter widget on my nexus this afternoon!
lol did not know until you informed me bro. wow, XDA is as supportive as what i always heard them to be. Thanks
Ooooops... this should be on the general apps forum instead of TOPAZ forum???

Live Watches (SE LiveView)

EDIT, 05/15/11:
Note: You will only care about this app. if you own a Sony Ericsson LiveWatch device!
v1.2
* Now with several more, aesthetically pleasing watch faces and hands
* Upload your own png file as /sdcard/livewatch.png (girlfriend picture, pet, etc.) -- Beware! The LiveView device is very picky with encoding, color set, etc.
* Flashligt! (Why not?) Click the select button, then touch the top border.

EDIT, 04/27/11:
Make sure you download it from the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.voilaweb.mobile.liveview.livewatches
***
I am going to talk about a plug-in I wrote for the Sony Ericsson LiveView.
However, if you guys wish to discuss development for that device or how to make it work better, this is also welcome because it is both intriguing and under-represented (and a bit maddening at times)
Anyway, I was flabbergasted when I realized that there isn't any straightforward "watch" plug-in for the LiveView so in a couple hours I figured out how to use the SDK and created one.
I am not releasing it yet and I will only make it available it there is interest for it and I get the appropriate permissions from the people whose art I have used for this proof of concept app.
By the way, more face and hands art would be welcome!
A few (terrible) screenshots:
My LiveView was sent from the website i ordered it from, today=) I would really such an addon=)
And i can make you some artwork if i get something to work with=)
Oh, that's good.
I hope it works well for you. The device losing its pairing can be quite aggravating.
On the other hand it is a breeze to develop for; actually simpler than writing a home screen widget.
A friend of mine got it last week and said that he had lost his pairing once since he got it set up.
To me no development is a breeze i know squat about programing
But as said i would love to make you some graphics you could use so that you can release this=)
^^
I just received a sms from my post office that my LiveView had arrived
and here are a little graphic preview of some artwork you might use(?) It shows the whole thing, background, minute hand and hour hand=)
I really think you should release this addon
Ha! I like it a lot, in fact.
Can you post it as three files as described at http://www.voilaweb.com/lv_faq#createtheme?
Oh, and I updated the OP with a link to the beta apk
Will do, Just have to make some minor changes as the big and short hand are the same. and also added some indicators on the clock face.
Edit: Also, will you support this addon? i mean like bugs and stuff?
I guess, I will have to, yes
So, anyone go any feedback for me?
hey man.
i just installed your app from market and it's looking great.
i guess you can make a clock with digits or maybe a digital one.
it still disconnects but at least i have a watch
one other thing maybe you can ad an always on screen option
MrJay, first off, thanks for your feedback
The "always on" option would be nice but I invite you to think about this some more...say until your device dies on you because its damn battery is already too weak for the plug-in's current version
EDIT: OK I really don't want to sound negative. The device is really nice. I just wish it had better connectivity and battery life.
In fact, the tricks I read on how to force it to reconnect using AutomateIt, etc., end up sucking battery life like crazy.
The only thing i have to say about this addon, is that its a bit slow to update when i wake the screen. might take a sec before the clock shows the correct time.
Other than that, i love it
Thanks Marius.
Yes, I know about the 1 sec. delay it's due to sending as few updates to the device as possible, to improve battery life.
But maybe I could slightly alter this behavior for a "wake up" event.
BTW, I hope you guys are using the version from the market! It's free, but more likely to get updates than the one on my blog.

i stopped using automateit. it didn't do that much and yes you're right about the crappy battery life .
anyway keep up the good job. it's a nice to have application.
I ordered one of these devices today after seeing this post, fantastic plugin! this is perfect for when I'm at work, seeing as I work outside and don't have time to check my phone for any updates, much less the time. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Where can I order this I'm interested I live in California if that makes a difference
Well, Spitfire, so do I. I ordered from these guys: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E2V4NM and it was shipped from Florida.
Have you updated this with any new themes?
Ive been away over the easter and haven checked in here for about 2 weeks. also i've been flashing a lot of ROMs lately so havent gotten to hook up my liveview yet. Will look in to it today th0=)
Can someone make a theme like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib9GTkImEwQ&feature=player_embedded#at=20
(watch the video it has a bunch of different themes as well)

Awesome design. I fear that the LiveView's limited resolution will not be able to display something this complex, though. Not even something as good-looking as a TikTok

[CONCEPT] Nexus Q: Q-Dash - Completed

This is something I had an idea about as soon as I saw the Nexus Q. I saw the potential this device has, however the current setup is just lacking. Good thing is hackable and runs Android though.
I am not a developer, I just come up with concepts in the hope that either Google or a developer will like the idea and begin to implement it.
What is it?
The Q-Dash is a customisable dashboard powered by the Nexus Q. Every morning, we wake up and check our phones for the latest news, weather, Facebook updates etc. If you can get it on your phone, its likely that we will check it.
However, you have a Nexus Q, why not put all that information onto one screen.
When your alarm goes off, your Android Device sends a command to the Nexus Q to power up the Q-Dash.
Q-Dash is your daily dashboard of all the information you check in the morning and its fully customisable. It can give you any Google Now Card, the latest breaking news stories, RSS feeds, Facebook/Twitter information, Live TV or Audio Streams. Q-Dash also shows you notifications you might have missed during the night.
How does it work?
Q-Dash is a completely 'hands free' experience from the moment your alarm goes off. When the alarm is activated, your Android device automatically listens for your voice, enabling you to snooze or dismiss your alarm without getting out of bed. Once it receives the dismiss command, your Android Device powers the Nexus Q on in Q-Dash mode.
From then on, your Android Device listens out for a hotword. When it hears this hotword, it activates the speech recognition so you can control Q-Dash.
Ask it to show you your RSS feeds from the Google Blog, and thats what it will do. Ask it to read you an article from a RSS feed - it'll do that as well.
Change the Livestream, post a Facebook/Twitter update, see the weather forecast, check your daily agenda or go to your favourite website - Q-Dash can do all this an more. It also has the compatibility to launch Q-Dash optimised applications from your device, right onto the Q-Dash. So if you want to see your favourite news application on Q-Dash, just ask it to launch. If the app is Q-Dash optimised, it'll launch for you.
If you have multiple Nexus Q's in your house, you can take Q-Dash with you. Simply tap your phone on any Q-Dash to bring it up. Q-Dash also knows when you have left your house, so can power down the Nexus Q automatically.
If you like this concept, don't forget to click Newsworthy in the top right and share this around the web!
[CONCEPT] Nexus Q: Q-Dash
I legitimately had to register to give you props on your idea. That is an amazing concept. I'm not sure how much voice sounds and my video editing is none existent, but to support your idea I would be up for chatting on skype or the something else to see if you could use me.

Video editing isn't needed. Just record yourself saying a few sentences from above and send it

This is an absolutely amazing idea. I don't really have much to add, just wanted to say good work and I'm looking forward to seeing someone do this.

Nobody have anymore feedback?
Final version has been submitted, complete with voiceover etc
Dude, all I have to say is the concept sounds pretty awesome. However, and this isn't the fault of Q-Dash at all...unless if the Q gets a lot more functionality, and quickly, I doubt too many people are going to be paying $300 for a gimped device. I mean, it's a networked media consumption device, but it can't even do local streaming of audio or video (at least not natively, and I haven't seen anything 3rd party that can do it either).
Three times expensive than Apple TV,I'm not sure it's worth enough
Yeah I best you.
Its been hacked to runs apps hasn't it so things like this shouldn't be to far away
This is an amazing concept for the Q! I can't wait to see where this goes! This is the future!! I just picked my Q up on ebay today. For those of you interested but not wanting to pay 300+ tax check out ebay. I got mine for 195 and saw them come and go for 170-210 from the Google I/O folks. Following this thread and can't wait to see where this goes! This just made me 1000 times more excited about picking up the Q.

Thanks
It doesn't seem to be gauging much interest like my notification concept.
Feel free to share it round, submit it as a news tip to sites etc

What are you looking for from the community? Backers? Interest? Do you have plans to launch? What do you need to launch or begin development?
Sorry for all of the questions but I'd really like to know where your vision is for this new concept, as this is something that has really got my interest.
Thanks

My vision would be for either a developer or Google to jump on board and develop it as its only a concept. If I had the time in my life, I'd sit down and attempt to learn Java and see what I could do myself, however I have pretty much no free time at the moment
Congrats!
Mas, it´s great.
I shared it on my Google Plus.
Thanx for this concept.

[APP][Android 2.3+] Simplest Reminder

I forget things quite easily so I have been using my phone for years to help me remember about certain tasks I need to do. I tried few applications but did not fall in love with any. They are often too complex and require too many steps to create a reminder / note.
Therefore I decided to make my own. I learned the basics of Android development and spent 2 months developing "Simplest Reminder". I was working on and off and only during my free time which was just a few hours a day at most.
Without further delay I present my first android application :laugh:
It is available for free, with NO ads, in the Play Store:
Here are the screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you notice any issues please let me know instead of leaving 1 star review. I will get back to you and solve the issue ASAP.
If you can think of any improvements don't hesitate to post them here.
Again, app is available for free without any ads here

UPDATE, May 22: I now have a donation version of my application in store. It is located here: Simplest Reminder (Donate)
If you like my application please consider buying the "donate version". Both apps have the same features so buying my app ($ 0.99) is just a way of saying Thank You for my hard work.
UPDATE, October 16 2013: Donate version has just became PRO version with new, exciting features based on user feedback. Simplicity has not been compromised but functionality has been greatly improved.
It is available at the same URL: Simplest Reminder Pro so that anybody who donated to me gets free upgrade. Thanks to the bunch of you who supported me with nice words and especially those who bought my app! I hope you all enjoy the new features
Here is a list of new features in the Pro version:
- Recurring reminders. Choose between daily, weekly, monthly, or annually
- Pop Up dialog. This can be disabled in Settings
- New, analog style Time and Date pickers inspired by Google Calendar's app
- Self-repeating reminders. Reminder will repeat itself every 10 minutes so you don't miss it. This can be disabled or interval can be changed in Settings
- LED light notifications. This can also be disabled in Settings
- Swipe notification away to delete reminder. This can also be disabled in Settings
- Swipe notification away to dismiss recurring reminder
- Help screen
- Improved user interface and performance
Pro screenshots:
UPDATE, October 17: APK for free version uploaded as per user request. This is for people who can't use Google Play for any reason.
UPDATE, October 18: Version 1.8 of the Simplest Reminder Free has been released. I refreshed the looks to be as nice as the look in the Pro version. I updated the screenshots in this thread.
UPDATE, Nov 12 2014: Version 2.1.1 of the Simplest Reminder Free has been released. I fixed bunched of things and added minor improvements such as ability to choose more sounds.
Pro version now has Pop Up dialog option.
UPDATE, Dec 2 2014: Version 2.6.2 of the Simplest Reminder Pro has been released. I added new, analog style Time and Date pickers inspired by Google Calendar's app. They make picking date and time much easier and they look great too! I attached new screenshots.
Thanks for your interest!
Hey this looks great! Gonna download right now and test for you.
I love the example you showed... "PAY YOUR BILLS!" hahaha

Thanks lurtis. I really appreciate that!
I'd download it, but I can't. It's not available in my country.
Not all those who wander are lost...

Hey Teadious. What country are you in, if I may ask. I can enable it. For now only US and Poland are enabled. The reason is that my app uses this time format: 12/25/2013 which is standard in the US but not other countries (not even in Poland but I enabled Poland because other tester is there )
Thanks again for your interest.
EDIT: I enabled ALL countries. It will take couple hours for the changes to take effect.
I'm from the Netherlands, I'll try the app out for you now

I love this app! :cyclops:
Thank You all for the support. In just one day the number of installations went from 6 to 24! Awesome.
I spent few hours recently trying to find a very frustrating bug in my application that was causing reminders not to go off under certain circumstances.
I found a potential issue, fixed it and pushed updated version 1.2 to the Google Play yesterday.
I really hope that it will permanently fix it! However, if for any reason a reminder doesn't go off for you it would be very helpful if you could provide some details here or PM me (version 1.2 and up only).
Thanks!
EDIT: Just pushed version 1.3 to the market because there still was a bug. Third time a charm... Hope it is gone for good!
Today I pushed 2 updates to the market.
Version 1.4 is meant to put an end to the mysterious bug causing reminders not to go off (I am 100% confident I nailed it this time and it turns out it was not even a bug but rather a missing feature, lol - simply put, the alarms were not set after phone reboot [Android OS removes all alarms on phone reboot])
Version 1.5 introduces new option in the settings panel - now you can decide if screen should be turned on when reminder goes off.
Thanks for sharing your work!
A nice feature would be, if we can decide Yes/no Notification Sound per reminder.
So one is with notification sound as set up in settings, one without because of not beeing so important.

While this is a nice feature, I don't think I will be implementing anything that would add complexity or increase number of taps required to create a reminder. The main goal of my application is being the simplest to use out of all reminder applications in the market.
There are many great applications in the market that have all that complexity and extra features including colors, note priority, sound per reminder, vibration per reminder, repeatable reminders etc. The reason why I don't use those apps is because setting up a reminder takes a minute or so.
I realize that limiting the number of features in my app may turn some users away but at the same time I am confident that it will be appealing to users who expect mobile apps to be simple and intuitive to use.
With all that being said, I really appreciate your feedback and please keep it coming. I may actually build another application based on Simplest Reminder that would have whole bunch of additional features.
Will give it a try! Teamed up with NotifyMe or such, could be very useful indeed.
Nice app, but how hard would it be to add some sort of calender view when picking a date?
So instead of scrolling, you just tap the date/day.
Would that make the app more complex?
can I get an .apk? I don't always have an active internet connection.
Great app, but I'm afraid that U.S. date format does my head in...
looks great!
going to try this on my s 3 i9300 with Paranoid Android 3.00 )
Awesome, just awesome and it looks beautfiul!
Thank you so much!

[APP][4.4+] LVoicemail

Greetings!
Few months ago a friend of mine ask me if it could be possible to create a Voicemail App that allows to:
Answer the call automatically
Play a pre-recorded voice message to the caller
Start recording the voicecall
Save the conversation to a local audio file
Then I started the development.
It acts like an auto answering machine.
In Italy listening Voicemail costs something at each call, so this friend of mine would like to get a free voicemail service (obliviously it doesn't work if the network is not available in that moment).
At this moment the App is 65% done and it works well on three different devices (Stock and Rooted) but me and my friend are the only two people that are using it.
Screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here I leave a poll because I would like to know if it could interest someone else.
Author reserved
But, how it works?
I mean... Their can hear anything when the phone take the call?

Obliviously not because the microphone is muted.
Very interesting project. Would love to try it.
I like.
Would love to try it out bro. It seems a really good idea. Keep going on. You can mail me your app so that I can try it as well.

It doesn't seem someone is interested.
The poll was viewed by 200 people but only few voters...
LVoicemail is done at 70% at this moment but a I'm not much interested to continue in the development if poll result is something like this.
Waste other many hours is not what I'm interested to do.
emandt, I shared your post at Facebook, Google Plus and Twetter. I think we should announce this project to groups.

What did you expect?
Thousand of people that's interested in an phantom?
I bet, if you finally finished it, they will come. But grow with your project and don't stop doing your stuff bcz of other guys. It will be nice to see you app and test it. But if you stop developing it it's your decision!

I was wondering if the App could interest others.
I already have developed few other Apps that I use for my own only, but them are a lot specific for my needs and I'm sure them don't interest others.
LVoicemail was requested by a friend of mine and I found a lot of different people that were interested in similar things in the past (few years ago) so I create this poll to understand if people are still interested in an answering machine.
I choose to develop an App if it could be used by someone, not just to waste my time...and finishing the remaining 30% will take a lot of time because I'm a Programmer and not a Designer. In fact from now most of the time will be "wasted" in draw interfaces, choose of colors for many visual components, move/choose layouts, translations in different languages, set animation for fade in/out of visual components, draw icons, test all possible user cases to avoid bugs when the "dummy user" will touch randomly buttons without a specific pattern, etc...
As many Programmers I could write hundred rows of code each day but if I have to draw/create an icon it takes few days for me.
So finishing this App takes more time than develop all main features, so you can understand if I'm worried to not waste my time (I have other ideas for other Apps that I would like to start developing).

You are missing the point. This is not an official Android or even Android phone forum. A lot of potential users, in fact, vast majority will never see this thread. It will only be seen by people who really need something like this. This is me! I would be more than likely first downloader, and if we're talking about an app where I can create custom rules, one for witheld numbers [Hi, I am not answering hidden numbers. If you'd like to talk to me, reveal your number and call back.], another rule for numbers range [Hi Marketing, I am not interested in your products, don't call again.], another for crazy ex [**** off *****!] and last rule that doesn't fit any other criteria [Hi, I am currently on a meeting, please leave a message after the tone.]. I will be more than happy to pay for it, any time! Don't scrap the project just because people don't vote for it, release it and I am sure you will get a good response because there is nothing like this out there.
Registered on forums just to tell you: yes! there are people who would like an app like this - there are a few apps on market but it seems they don't work properly.
I think some users will need that kind of functionality.
Please share your app somewhere to try it. Thanks in advance!
Yes, Lots of ppl interested in this project, Once you post test version of beta, You will see.
Please share the app
Had to login just to say yes to that poll lol . And would like to say I have been looking for this type of app since the old symbian days. It was possible back then but not now. So we need someone to make an app that actually works. And once you have posted it somewhere you'd know for sure how many are actually looking for it. Post it already ✌. Atleast some pre release beta of a beta so we know you actually are working ✌
Please keep awesome project, pro! Thanks your work and cheer

I would be really interested in such a project, and available for testing or help (if there's something I can do in this regard). Please keep coding / development alive!
I'm Italian too.
I would also be interested in an Answering Machine app which is currently missing from the android ecosystem!
