Petition: Fring for Android - General Topics

Hi there,
I wonder why there is no fring for android. There is a big thread in their forums:
http://www.fring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8336
(unfortunatly the Blackberry thread is bigger :ugly)
Maybe the dont get enough feedbacK from the android community?! So what do you xda-developer members with an android device think about an online petition?
Alternativly you can hammer their "Your handset is not supported ... yet." form:
http://reg.fring.com/app/newhandset... your Email Addres&country=Enter Your Country
You probably have to choose the G1 because its the only Android phone in the list...

Hi There,
Omri from fring here.
We are working on the Android version. It takes time but I can promise you that this version is worth the wait...
Re: Blackberry
Unfortunately it is not possible to develop an application that will play and record audio at the same time on the Blackberry platform, that's the main reason for the lack of a Blackberry version.
I will add a few more Android devices to the waiting list so you can leave your email and we will let you know once it's out.
You can also follow us on twitter for the latest news (@fring) or subscribe to our blog www.fring.com/blog
I'll be around so if you have any questions I'll be happy to assist.
Have a great day.

Hi Omri,
thank you for your answer. Happy to hear that you guys are onto it. I hope that it is going to be a full version, not crap like skype lite (no voice chat) or any other im app for android (which unfortunatly are all not satisfying, regarding function and quality).
Thanks again...

Thanks for the reply... been waiting for this for a while. Would be interesting to find out the time scale of this!

Found "maybe' New PPC Free Softwares Site in Cab/Zip formats

Hi all,
i don't know if this has been made known before but anyway here is a link http://www.freecabs.de/ to a site that serves to provide ppc users a place to find free/commercial softwares/games in cab file-ready format and zip. just to mention a few like Pocket Rar, PPC Skype, Mem Release, VLC Media Player (that can stream video), Virtual Earth Mobile, UI tweaker etc. As for version compatibility, as most is not mentioned, i guess it's up to the user to find out.
I've tried to look for the proprietor's name of this website but could not find any so i could not pay any tribute directly as yet but anyway if he/she reads this, "A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU" so if any of you guys do find his/her name please mention it here. he/she did tho' include his/her e-mail "[email protected]". I think he/she deserves our thank you.
Cheers. (P.S as the url suggest softwares are free but i could not confirm this as i don't use much of them only those that i need)
The site is by Holger Schmidt
Danke Holger
Yes, i'm sorry. it's listed just below the title. Thanks.
And thank you again, Holger Schmidt.

[Q] New app with

Newbie post!
We've come up with our first app---uHeart. It does a nice job controlling or manipulating the camera, display and vocalization functions. I post here because I think this forum might especially appreciate seeing what my coding partner works through the Eclipse plug-in for Android. Is he any good? What do you think? How could we make it better?
uHeart on the Android Marketplace (or linked below here)
Let us know what you think or how we can improve. All feedback is welcome, particularly if it is constructive.
Thanks, S

also available on the Android Market or here

[Q] Application advice

Hi all,
My name is shai and I'm new to java and android, this is my first application, most of my experience is in c, c++ , vb, pascal.
My question is, is it common to publish the application before it was debugged?
Just to tell about the features and to read your comments,
tnx
shai
A lot of guys release apps for beta testing on here, to benefit from bug reporting and such like.
I think this is the thing all developers do on this forum...
I can only speak for custom ROMs. They get better after sharing and testing.
Must be the same for your apps.
Please share and I'm sure a lot of people would be glad to test them.
Hi, I'm a new developer to android also. I do most of my debugging before publishing in the market. For beta testing I usually ask in forums and then send a limited version of the app via email. If you are looking for a beta tester I have an HTC Flyer with Honeycomb if you need help. I'm always willing to help out a new person. Just email me at [email protected]
Based on how people review on the Google Market, your best bet is to have a stable version before release on the market.
Also a good description of its features and screenshots make all the difference.
First, it was nice to read your post s, now I know that I have someone to get advice from.
At the beginning my partner idea was just to develop an application to transfer the phone microphone audio to the Bluetooth head set. I took his idea and expend it to more features like:
a. Transmitting audio from the mic to the head set
b. Recording to an audio file
c. Hiding the app window (so no one knows u r spying on them)
d. Transmitting audio from the headset to the phone so the users can have conversation
e. Blocking incoming calls
The app is 80% finished all I miss is
Retrying Bluetooth connection after incoming call (Have no idea how to implement this feature…..if someone have one…..pleaseeeee tell me) and of course debugging ,which haven’t done so far because I don’t know which phone to buy 
Thanks for all your help
shai

Lets get this app on Android. Cinemagram

I hope this falls inside the rules for this section.
I now have yet another reason to be jealous of iPhone users. This does not often happen, but at times it still does. Cinemagram, is an app for building cinemagraphs right on your phone. Here is a tumbler feed with supposed examples of what the app can create. http://cinemagram.tumblr.com/
I contacted the developers of this app, Factyle Inc, and did my best bit of groveling for an Android version. It seems I wont need to be jealous for too long. Here is the reply I received back in a matter of minutes.
"LOL!!!
We'll get there soon "​
If you want this on Android as much as I do, please email the devs and let them know there is an audience for this app on Android.
I dont want to post up their email, so take a look at the bottom of their site for their email link. http://cinemagr.am/
Great idea ...
171 views, but has anyone actually sent them an email?
we have many developers on here and cinemagram has a posting on there site looking for android developers. http://cinemagr.am/home/jobs

Galaxy on Fire 2 - SuperNova - Request from XP Users

Supernova is an additional add-on not available apparently for android devices yet. I have gone ahead and emailed Fishlabs
- Apparently you have to go through their own email system now as I got an auto generated reply informing me to go here:
http://support.fishlabs.net/
to send them an email.
I asked if they would please continue to support our device as I have thoroughly enjoyed this game. I would like to encourage all xperia PLAY users to just take 30 seconds to email fishlabs at the above address and ask them to please continue supporting our phone with the future release of Galaxy on Fire 2 - Supernova.
Your welcome to just copy and paste what I sent to them but if I were a fishlabs rep reading the same email over and over from different addresses I would think it was either spam or not a sincere email. As I said your welcome to use my email but I feel it would make a more powerful message if everyone just asked that they continue supporting this device.
My email:
"Hello,
I would like to know if there are any plans to support the Xperia PLAY for the GOF add-on SuperNova? I am a big fan of the series and have greatly enjoyed it on my Xperia PLAY and would love to see it released to this phone and to all android devices. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
<Your Name>
Edit - For those curious here is the official trailer for Supernova

Edit 2 - Posted a short blurp on the Youtube video again asking Fishlabs to support our device, there was already a reply below mine with the same request.
emailed !
edit : i also created a new ticket with the request , it's seems that's their new request method
sorry

Ah...bummer. can't say I'm surprised but it would be cool if we got it. I have not received a reply yet. Not doubting you but still hopeful we may be able to have them reconsider. Even if its a paid game I would jump on it.

great news , they responded to my mail , expect a all-android version very soon
the downside is that it'll probably only be available for 4.0.+

*holds up Nook HD+ * I'll be ready lol...just have to find the non XP version of GoF.
Got another reply from FishLabs regarding the Xperia PLAY:
"Hello Jesse,
my name's Tobi and I'm a Senior Social Media Manager at Fishlabs. I'm filling in for Sven today and I'm happy to help you out and answer your question.
Right now, it is not planned to support the special controls of the Xperia PLAY right from the start. However, depending on how successful the app performs on Google PLAY, there's of course still a chance that we'll add such an optimization later on. So fingers crossed...
If you've got any more questions, feel free to ask 'em right away.
All the best,
Tobi

***** So everyone pay for the IAP and or make lots and lots of downloads of this game so that FishLabs can see all the download for the Xperia PLAY and support it.
I wrote back sayin this:
"Hello Sven, I replied to your email about requesting that Xperia PLAY gaming controls be supported. I have made a thread over on XDA specifically for this game in hopes that it will bring awareness and will also hopefully encourage FishLabs to add support for our phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41450496#post41450496
Myself and many others would be thrilled if it supports the Xperia PLAY. Despite the age of this phone I actually just bought another one to use as my daily phone as I really enjoy gaming on this phone and Galaxy on Fire 2 is one of my favorites. I would like to kindly request that it be considered, myself and many others will be crossing our fingers an hoping that our wish comes true. Thank you Sven for your time and your replies. I will remain optimistic of the Xperia PLAY seeing support.
Kind regards,
Jesse
One more response to my email:
"Our customer support team personnel has replied to your support request #806812
Hi Jesse,
thank you very much for all your support and encouragement.
I noticed that Tobi has already responded to provide you with a detailed answer. My fingers are crossed for a Xperia Play support.

So it looks like Sven is now going to push for Xperia PLAY support.
Well, as much as I like their game, they have been an asshat to me eversince. As expected, they haven't replied to my e-mail. It's been a week.
Heck....while we are at it asking for xp support....I'll ask for ANDROID support too lol......based on their site all their games are apple or blackberry......apparantly they are fruit lovers
sent from my rooted nook hd+
I received another reply and although it is virtually the same as my last posted reply, it does give a tid bit more information:
"We're already working on an "All Android" version of GOF2 HD incl. both add-ons, Valkyrie and Supernova. It'll support about 200+ different devices and will hopefully be out later on this year. As soon as there are any more concrete news, we'll surely keep you posted."
Crossing fingers.
Supernova is out as an in app add-on. Updated the game on my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it showed Supernova, on our device under add-ons supernova is not listed.
Wondering if we should start another email campaign to request the PLAY gets the supernova add-on as well..

Did a search for Xperia PLAY on the forums at Fishlabs and here were some results:
Our device is specifically listed as still being supported until the Supernova All Android version is released:

Another link for the new updated GOF 2 Supernova:

Just attempted to install the apk from my tablet onto the PLAY, it gives me a parser error.
This is HD version my friend, it requires Android 3.0 or higher, even if XP can make it, that would be too laggy. maybe we should wait for SD version's coming

yeah, I figured the same.... time will tell. Currently only the All devices HD version is out, perhaps it will change when the SD all android devices is released.
