Guide for writing a service? - General Questions and Answers

I've searched all over the place but, due to how common the search terms are, I can't find the right result. I'm looking into developing something that I'd like to run as a service. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where I can learn about writing a service vs. writing a normal application?
Thanks!

HELP PLEASE!!
I've had my HTC touch/vogue for some time now and only just realized it was capable of so much more than I thought. I stumbled across this web site and dicovered an Iphone theme that I was interested in through this link http://www.iphonetheme4ppc.com/ I payed for & downloaded it to my PC and then discovered that I'm in way over my head, I don't know what to do next.
Could someone please tell me what I need to do from here??

You got robbed...
I cannot believe you payed for that, because even more you have to pay for the additional software. How much did you pay? And WTF were you thinking?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
Threre are tons of software like this here on XDA.....
Next time SEARCH!
This is what happens to people like you, who never search......
Yes I am noob, new to these sites.Thank you to the guys who were actually helpfull with their posts, shabicht inpaticular thank you for the link. With my inexperiance I was unsure of where to appropriatly search for the right info. I figured that being as how I discovered the link on THIS SITE in the first place that I'd start by looking for help on THIS SITE. However all that I received were and very un-helpfull replys,there must be a lot of bored people out there with nothing better to do then to insult someone with little experiance in this area looking for some help.
I only paid $11 for the theme, addmitadly after receiving some actuall helpfull advice from others I did discover that there are better ways to improve my device.
I'm not sure how this site usually works,the site was recomended to me. I'm disapointed to see the amount of rude remarks I received when simply looking for a helping hand.

Are you going on every section and posting a thread with this title that asks questions that are vague and easily searchable?
Well i have different questions that should be in different parts of the forums, I dont understand while people insist on submitting that on the forum. If you wish not to help just move along.

I am helping you. I told you to use the search, which is going to help you a lot more than you think. Even browsing through these threads, I'm sure you see that a lot of these processes can be a bit extensive. And, especially when you ask vague questions like in the original post, no one can help because you're not saying anything specifically (WHICH launcher are you looking to change to? etc. etc.)
Get it? Gonna' use that search? Hope so.

I normally don't like this kind of answer but in this case i would have to agree with TJ, start from the beginning first, have the device rooted and flash your custom ROM then everything will come easier
These guys are just morons. In the time you guys wrote all that crap, you could have just answered his question or atleast guide him.
Even thought you can somewhat modify the appearance, and customize it to your linking, you will need to root your phone in order to modify certain elements.
For beginner I suggest you download a few apps that will allow you to do some minor tweeking. Here's a list of a few apps to start you off.
Launcher pro
Beautiful widgets
Pure calendar
Flickie
Switch pro
Here's a screen shot of my evo.

So we're morons because we didn't post a broad answer with suggestions of five different things like you? I think you should wisen up before you start slinging around insults that describe yourself more than anyone else.
There's an old saying that goes, "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for the night, but if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime."
THAT'S the mentality that goes into showing people the usefulness of the search tool. Unless it's something profound or newly developed by that particular person, odds are it's been discussed and can be found with the search tool.
You above just gave him tips to different kinds of launchers, and suggested things like rooting his phone, but didn't post any kinds of links to tutorials or downloads for the apps themselves... are you expecting him to SEARCH for these things himself or what?... exactly.
Get the **** outta' here with that **** guy.

At least I didn't give the guy a smart answer. I gave him an actual answer to my best knowledge. Dickhead.

I didn't give him a smart answer, and I not only respected him, but gave reasoning as to why I gave the answer that I did... in fact, the only person to be dissrespectful and give an answer that doesn't truly help is... well... you. LMFAO. IN fact, I think I called you out pretty in depth, and your response was a childish sentence with a "name" inserted. Get real. But, I guess you were "answering me with the best of your knowledge", so I shouldn't expect anything more, eh?
Anyways, have fun with the "flaming". I'm a bit too busy actually theming and trying to have something to contribute to really care about the petty. ;-)

Pseudocode isnt really code, its more like a placeholder of english arranged in a code like manner that sets a template for the code that you are going to write in the future.
For example if i have some really long code that does a bunch of math, in pseudocode you can instead just write something like "doMath(). Pseudocode isnt actually there for getting stuff done but more there as a way of planning how your code will work when you actually start writing it for real.

I know I get some of the aspects of it but I have a actual pseudo-code assignment for my class due in about a week or so and I'm hoping someone knows how to go about writing pseudo-code and ill post my assignment for some help if anyone minds helping me out.

where to start for first time app?

ok so i have had a few ideas for apps and i finally think i have a great one, ya i know we all think our ideas are great. without going into to much detail it will allow users to scan barcodes and look up/ add info about that item kind of like a wiki page. there is alot more too it but i dont know any of you and am not just going to give my idea away ;p so my question is where to start. i have little interest in learning to code im more of an idea guy, im thinking finding venture capital and hiring coders? im not looking to make it rich off of this app so i dont mind offering up most of whatever proceeds that would be generated, i just want it to be the app that i want with the features i want thats why im not willing to just put all my ideas up here for someone to take and skew. so what are your tips/ stories from starting your first app? what do i need to have? stay away from? etc?

where do i find independent iOS developers

Hii
i am someone who has ideas but is looking for someone with adequate experience in building ios apps to help me transform my idea into an application, i had multiple ideas and when i searched google, tried to find people to help me in my country, i found out that the cost if way high for a simple app, maybe because where i live is not a place for independent developers.
so some of my friends suggested that countries like india for example have many developers who may be willing to work with you with an affordable pricing, as i searched over the internet i found couple of companies that i already contacted.
the reason i came here is to find independent people, not companies, and i was wondering if anyone can help me or guide me through knowing if its possible to find independent people here or somewhere else.
thanks in advance :good:

You might want to ask that question on iPhone-Developers. That site used to be part of xda in the past...
