[DEVS] [APP] xda forum browser! get your dose on the move! - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

I thought this would be a good idea for an app.. I know this isn`t the apps forum but this needs developing!
Sure you can browse to xda from the phone`s browser, but wouldn`t it be so much sweeter to just to have the app on a home screen?!
I think so anyhow!

I support this 100 % sounds like a really great idea

i`ve seen similar apps on the market... just search for forum in the market... you will see what i`m getting at!!
Shouldn`t be to hard to implement... not that i`m a dev

that would be useful for sure. no more navigating small button on this page from the phone browser.

totally support. its nice to have a widget too
most of all it must b FREEE!!!!

So come on devs...!!
Anyone going to have a go???

Can't you just create a bookmark shortcut for the home screen?

a bookmark is fine... but you still have the tiny links to click, and the zoom buttons get in the way....
wouldn`t it be nice to see all the threads in the same theme as the OS??
easier to read, easier to scroll... just easier!
I think it wud be a hit with most of the xda addicts on here!

I can nothing but agree to this. It would be awesome to have as an app with widget. Damn, I wish I knew how to make apps!

They made one for winmo check the xda general forum. Maybe try porting it might be easier than starting from scratch

It's a very good idea!
A widget with direct acces to the forum you like : Sapphire (for exemple )
A 4x4 widget for best view. I vote for it!

This would be great! after having a good old look over xda forums you geta massive browser cache buildup!

you are narrow minded indeed.

Can't we get XDA to make this site more mobile-friendly? Or have a mobile-friendly version? Or is there one already and I'm unaware of it .

yeah there is a version, it's called PDA layout but it lacks everything that makes a forum, a forum. try it http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php

Tanks NguyenHuu. Yeah it doesn't feel like a forum. Haha. Can't xda-devs do something about it? That way we have a universal mobile site that works well, instead of a app/widget that works only for Android..

Correct me if i`m wrong..... but winmo is completely different to android!
It would not just be a case of 'porting it' because they are so dis-similar!
yeah sure u cud use some of the graphics / icons etc... but an android version would pretty much require starting from scratch anyway!
i am not narrow minded... I came to android from winmo... and since using android, I can say, imo android is far superior!

htc cube:
and that's on the two page. what else are you wanting?
If you want a simple theme why don't you go to http://www.ppc-theme.com
They have lot of standard themes that dun have to use wisbar or stuff like that
well i dont really want a simple theme, but a theme that makes you say WOW. gives everything a lot of detail, like the vista themes, but they all seem to be for Wisbar.
and again..no iphone please.

oh,where not choose shoes from www.fine-nike.com
try ultimate launcher, simple looking or advanced whatever you like have as many scrolled and or tabbed links as you like and you can embed today screen apps into any page you set up.
search on handango uk or germany or look for the thread here that's titled "tabbed launcher " or something close to that !

Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369315
That theme really gives you detail and it doesn't slow doen your ppc at all as long as you don't use Wisbar Advance..
That theme will completely only using Wisbar Advance Desktop
Checkout pointui.com most usable interface I've had on my phone yet (for touching anyway). I wish it was customizable but you can't have it all right?
i agree that ultimate launcher is very useful. easy to set up and it works.

Are you retarded, extremely confused, or is it just a language barrier. Well I think its all three.
-One, stop posting the link we don't care, the shoes are fake!
-You make Asians like us look bad!
Why fakes! One guy attempted to sell me the worst iPod clones ever at my warehouse yesterday. And he keeps insisting they are real iPods. What's hilarious was that I let me see a real iPod, he says its fake. He says "Apple made an update to iPods where it doesn't need to use iTunes. That really made my day

Guys, I was about to ask you why are you so sarcastic... but then I read the last two posts ... man I laughed so hard that my girlfriend heard and I had to tell her why am I laughing Trust me I am not laughing now....
Anyhow I think that Skype can deffinetely be improved but let's face it- Skype for Winmo was never good therefore I never really used it. Maybe you guys should have told the guy that nobody (here) would modify an official app with copyrights like Skype.. Also the Landscape issue could easily be fixed with some registry tweaking or using BsB Tweaks (correct me if I'm wrong).

Is this Helpful?

Was going through google labs page and found this.
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/
helpful to any one?
Admittedly, Android's development environment makes life pretty easy, but you're tied to a computer to do your work. ASE lets you develop on the device itself using high-level scripting languages to try out your idea now, in the situation where you need it, quickly.

YouTube Tab? ...

Is there any YouTube Tab out there? I have searched and cannot find one....any ideas?
thanks in advance...
I think this would be nice, however I have never seen anything about a stand alone YouTube Tab. I wonder if someone could write the program to add the tab like the guy did for the Facebook Tab.
I searched for some info on how to make a custom tab, but I cannot find anything related to developing a tab.... any ideas?

so I hope someone can help me out here, I am willing to put in work -the only problem is I cannot find the resources ?.....

I think the guy working on the facebook tab found that HTC had done alot of the development work themselves and had hidden it away. Atleast thats how it reads. So maybe this isnt such an easy thing to do

Ah sorry mate, misunderstood. Like a FB thread going around, ive read this is not such a simple thing to do either, good luck.

Same here buddy, would be nice but doubt we'll se it happen any time soon..
yeah, I agree that it does not seem easy...seems like too much b$ just for something so simple....i dont know, I am not a newbie to programming, but this is like a whole other world of programming (or w/e you will call it)...
in theory: I would need to put a place holder for a new tab OR take an existing one and change it... have that tab point to/open up the YouTube executable and thats it!...
in practice (it seems): I would have to recompile/decompile/edit multiple manila files...? which even that is sounding much more easier than actual 'practice' of this theory...
any ideas?
this is such a great idea it would be very nice if they could figure this one out
it'll be even better if the dev's could skin the YouTube app a little so that it really intergete in sense
i really hope somewone is workingon this
sorry for my english hope ya'll understand my idea

this is a very difficult project for a very small gain.... to be honest - it may not be done at all, I would very much like to do this, but I think I should put my time towards something more significant...

Would you guys be interested in an all-encompassing theming guide?

As I've eben working on my own theme, I've asked a lot of questions , and (obviously) learned a ton along the way. I've been keeping a log of a lot of it, but, I was wondering if you would all be interested in an "end-all, be-all" guide to theming from scratch? With things like important file locations, tutorials on .9 pngs, decompiling and editing xml, etc. etc.? Maybe I'd even PDF it and have screenshots and everything.
Just something I've thought of, but, it's REALLY not worth it if people aren't interested, bc it'd be time-consuming.
I would definitely be interested. I have been looking for something for awhile now. I have found bits and pieces haven't been able to put it all together and figure it out. I have an app I have been trying to theme to match the clock I am using and cannot get it right. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
This is what happens when I try to theme SwitchPro widget.

Yes, I don't have time to figure it out on my own like you did. So that would be pretty fly.
Hey dmoses, go ahead and attach that .9 png you did for the background of switchpro, and I'll fix it for you real quick.
uhm that would be awesome ive tried changing a bunch of things on my phone on to find out that maybe half ever work and not knowing why lol
I'd love to see this too. I was spoiled with theming for the Palm Pre & would love to get into theming for Android now.
I am always open to answering questions about theming. If I can anyway.
Personally, I learned a lot of my android business from SDX-Developers. There a bunch of us brainstormed and basically relearned android. We pulled a lot of info from XDA yes. And for that I am greatful. However, since so much had to be relearned, a lot of info is documented in the forum. And most devs are still active so getting a response to a question, or at least someone to bounce ideas off of, is pretty easy. Android across the board is very similar no matter what device.
I would first recommend google search being that there are a ton more forums beyond xda with information. SDX is where I usually go for more technical questions or discussion, but then again it is where all the Moment users went when XDA shunned us.
Documentation is key if you want to remain open source so the mods can be used or altered for future use.
