now everyone has root what next

Now that everyone is happy to get root back. What do you think the next big thing coming for this phone is.
Qtronix

I want to see something like OpenArena get ported :-D, or some game that actually uses the 3D power on this jawn!! Pref FPS and using the accelorameter.
Anyways, good looks to everyone who helped in getting this going, I was stuck with an unrooted rc30 for a minute!! thanks!!!

When I get time, I want to play around and see if any emulators can run and access the framebuffer without going through Java.
Plenty of the major console emulators (nintendo, sega, arcades, neo-geo, etc.) have been compiled to run on ARM processors already (GP2X/GP32). I'd love to see them on a G1, tho it might take doing the Debian thing to get to where they'd actually work.

Free sim unlock Or porting windows mobile

Yeah another 1+ for Windows Mobile on the G1.
More apps being developed that require root, (Home Today Screen) like WinMo....
Someone should just write out a list of things to do after root.

Can you WinMo-on-G1 guys keep your posts on this thread pretty please? That way the rest of us only have to ignore one thread.

I'm a little disappointed* that the pace of things is going so slow. I don't recall the timeline but when the iPhone was hacked, there were little programs popping out all over the place as people recompiled things for the OS.
*I'm not a programmer so I'm not going to tell others how to do their work. I presume native apps are coming and I'll be grateful when they get here at whatever pace.

What about flash? Iphone has a little app that lets them use flash. When's ours coming?

Let's see.... iPhone came out how long ago? They still don't have cut & paste? They still don't have MMS? They still don't have ...... A LOT
Yet you are worried about the pace we are seeing things? Sorry, but major problems are being resolved daily.

It's already been developed, just give it some time to actually be released.

isn't that kind of a silly question?
how many times a day do you check these forums, or other android news sites?

Our google friends are working hard we are developing a lot of thing at the moment if you hop on irc once in a while it filled with devs. G1 it juss take time u got to wait. I been trying to get copy and paste ported but it need to developed in the sdk better. I am also porting touchflo to g1, well a knock off verison lol.

I would like to see desktop widgets. Like an RSS reader, weather forcasts, and music player.

Is it really though? Granted, while we will all eventually get it, would you know if it was being pushed OTA right this second? Historically, one or two people got the OTA update and they announced it.
However, now that everyone has OTA blocked (minus the people that don't bother and also don't frequent boards)...who is going to tell us if Google doesn't post something up the very second it is available?

then youll have to wait a few days.

Check the t-mobile forums, nothing yet.

There's alway the question of the dev phones. No OTA update for them anyway, and google is going to tell the devs to upgrade their phone. There will probably be some kind of announce on android-development mailing lists as well.
Don't worry, we'll know, one way or the other

But I wanna know NOOOW

Our updates are blocked really? I honestly wondered if our phones downloaded the updates then tried installing the update or it sends the keys then updates. But the answer is not that important to search. As for things being done I believe Jf recompiled busybox from 1.8 mb to 700k and linked it to the system. That's a big step forward

How about an XDA-Dev App Store?

There are zillions of apps and ROMs and stuff here on XDA-dev. Some are buried in forum threads going back years.
I quite like to browse through software and fixes just to see what's there, and in the forum format it's really difficult. Anyone think it would be good to drag all the software into a common, browsable location? We don't need all the threads of people saying that they are downloading now, or the development process of new versions, just the latest version and a description with a screen shot.
Ha, I hope this doesn't mean I'm volunteering to do it!

thumbs up for it.
great idea. it would make it easier for lot many people.

That would be great =)

I'm sure I posted something similar a couple of years ago, maybe I just thought it, not sure. Either way, this would be awesome. There was a ROM a while ago that had a built in program for getting updates for programs and new programs, can't remember what it was called; what happened to that? I think it was a Hermes ROM.
Is the Microsoft Marketplace an option, or are there costs/hassle involved with listing free stuff on there?

Apptodate it was called.

that's just to keep some apps updated, not to install new ones.
and the reason for not using microsoft marketplace is because 1: it needs to go through microsoft first and 2: it costs money to get your app there.

I think you're thinking of Pocket Download Manager. You can download it seperately from the ROM, but you have to register it (for free though).
Also, an XDA-Developers App store has been done many times. There was Pocket Download Manager, Jak Portal (which became OpnMarket), Gecko (now defunct it seems), FireSale (Gecko successor, also Defunct). It seems only the first 2 are actually still active, but IMO OpnMarket is the most promising.

Sound idea
Might have gained me a night's sleep

Great idea!
I'm volunteering to do it too.

Sounds like a plan to me, lets home some mods read this.

Auto tune app

So after searching, and doing a lot of research I still haven't found a decent auto tuning application. Were are the devs at?? Im willing to pay, and im sure there are plenty of more people who are. With the release of the "I am t-pain" app on the iphone, android hasn't been able to keep up. I love the **** out of my evo, but I feel like there should be more in the app market. Theres no good drum apps, no auto tune, no good keyboard/synth apps, no recording apps. Why are we slacking so hard here. What the hell do we need to do to get this going and produce apps people want that aren't pointless. Please, lets shed some light on this!

Thank you, even if they made an app that could port iphone apps that would be amazing. Or even make apps on the iphone compatible with bump, cause I noticed you cant put apps in bump on the iphone like you can with droid. Maybe something along these lines would be better and cut the hassle of making apps for different platforms, and at the same time everyone can be happy.

Anyway, I feel your pain. There really aren't any really nice music apps for android.

They can't even pay developers to jump ship and develop for android

Hahaha I love all the hate I'm getting for saying something I would like to see. Feels like I'm back in high school again with all the little immature kids.

check out ULOOPS and SIXTEEN BARS

As someone who's actually tried to get something like I Am T-Pain working on Android, I can tell you the reason you don't see more music apps like the ones Smule does for iPhone is due to the relative lack of any sort of low latency audio API in Android. See here for more information: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434

I just found it amazing you said Android been behind the curve ever since the t pain app for iPhone, as if that's THE app that defines how good an OS is. Wow. Just as you said its a time waster, cool, but ultimately useless, and therefore I'm sure its not a priority right now.
Would be fun to play with though, all I have is my 1g ipod touch so I never got to mess around with it. Just not somethin I'm hurting for

Why so much hate in this topic? The guy is looking for a neat app on the apps discussion board. Big ****ing deal. If you don't like it, then don't even post and save everyone else the time of finding out what a baby you are.

Something up with Launcher Pro?

The website and forum are offline, and people over on Android Forums are reporting that their version of Launcher Pro has 'expired'. Anyone know anything?

Mine is working

Not getting the expired message but wanted to search the launcher pro forums for an issue I have and get a 403 Forbidden page.

My LauncherPro is working fine, it seems these posters may have downloaded something - two threads so far, but one of the guides said these reports are popping up all over the place. Be careful what you download and install!

a coworker of mine had the issue today of the launcher actually expiring and had no way out of his browser, and i guess the launcherpro website was down? anyway, I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

My LPP is also working fine. ADW or GO launchers would work for people with issues. I was also able to get to the site just fine (launcherpro.com), but yes, the forums were down.
Most likely a switch to a different server or hosting company, or website update. That's the simplest explanation.

Same with me - no problems.

Here's an update
Seems the developer has screwed up on this one. From this post on Android Forums (this is Fede speaking):
That's my bad actually, I didn't realize that if you had an old LP Beta set as your default, you wouldn't be able to use it to open the market to download a newer version after it expired.
Future versions will automatically send you to the market to get the new version. At this point, the only thing you can do is install ADB and use it to install a newer version, or use ADB to uninstall LP and then install from the market again.

He's generating a lot of ill will from this.

For some reason, a small percentage of LP users decided to be idiots and not update the app for the last month (0.8.2 came out Dec. 7th) and now the previous version has expired.

No, that isn't the problem. They're running an old beta that has expired. Those who use the market version, and those who paid for the app, aren't having the problem.

Can anyone access the launcherpro website? I get a blank page. This is really weird because Fede is usually very responsive.

Fede seems to be hiding, this is a PR disaster for him. The best thing to do at this point is to be forthcoming, own up to it, and give clear instructions on how to fix it.

I have to agree, Fede needs to own up to whatever this problem is. Even though I think the vast majority of LauncherPro users like myself have no problem, we keep the app updated and got it from the market. I wonder if this will effect his re-write of LauncherPro he has been promising?

Fede is doing a complete Rewrite.
Changes take time.....Not, everything is as easy and as fast as we would all like it to be.
Complications do happen. Its part of the game.
Be Patient......I'm sure he will get it all fixed soon enough.

With all due respect, This is more than a little 'complication'. Rewrites do take time, but if your customer base has lost faith in your product because you don't show excellenct support on a critical app like a launcher, you won't have anyone to rewrite for...

I don't think many will lose faith with Fede at all. And those that do can find another launcher to moan about.
Fede has a very loyal fan base, and most will stick with him as his is one of the best, if not the best, creation on this os.
People will always moan, and then find something else to moan about.

Who said it wasn't? The point is, his program is everywhere on Android phones, many people who have no technical skills at all have it, and it seems to have 'broken' their phones. His lack of statement regarding the problems and offering workaround for it are the problem. As for 'finding another launcher to moan about' really? That's all it is, the consumer's fault? I think there's a job for you at AT&T.

No, not really. The anger is all over the internet. He needs to do damage control to help his reputation.
I love the LauncherPro program, I've had it since I started, I paid for it right off the bat. I do that with all developers. I will say I haven't found him to be very forthcoming with assistance - then again, until now (and still, for me), there haven't been issues like this that needed addressing. My only point is he needs to get in front of this and fix it or yes, his reputation will be damaged for many. Not you, not me, but there are plenty of others who are extremely unahppy.

Apparently Lifehacker has been in touch with Fede or found a response somewhere on the interwebs.

New site dedicated to 'true' tablet apps

I just saw this site listed in an article on AndroidSPIN. Here's the link to the article:
A New Solution for Finding Tablet Optimized Applications
The part of the article that piqued my interest the most was this:
It’s not an alternative market but rather, it displays apps that have been SPECIFICALLY designed for tablets then links them back to the Android Market. Many devs claim their apps are optimized for tablets but in truth, they simply mean the app now stretches to fill the screen on a tablet-that’s far from being optimized. None of this “optimized” nonsense here. Each app is tested to make sure that it is actually designed for tablets; meaning the UI has been enhanced in some way to take advantage of the large display. It’s definitely worth a look. Thanks!
The site it refers to is: Tablified Apps
It's worth a look.

hey bro i saw the site, it looks good , i was looking for something like this, thanks for the heads up

This site just made me sad. It is a great idea and I appreciate the work put in, but it only serves to highlight the utter lack of tablet optimized apps currently available for Android.

Great site. Thanks for this (Thanks button used with pleasure). I've only had a quick scroll and already found two apps that I hadn't heard of that look really good.
It's great to see people furthering the cause of Android tablet optimised apps. The more exposure there is, the more developers are going to be encouraged to develop for tablets.

It all depends which country you live in. I think it's only in the USA you get the tablets section (possibly Canada too).
Edit: well I hate to be a killjoy but the first app I saw on that site is the game 'Stupid Zombies', which isn't a tablet optimised or made for tablet app at all and certainly isnt a 'true' tablet app. So not sure how that site is sorting apps just for tablets, and perhaps others on there are the same, but I didnt look further. Maybe that's a one off.

A lot of tablet apps are missing from that site.

If you found a missing app, there s a "submit an app" section on the main page. This site should fulfil itself if people just take 1 minutes to share their discovery.

let me explain how it works for games because there isnt a clear cut line. a games doesnt need to be 3.0 specific for it to work on tablets. people complain about not having a tablet games section then complain when i put a game up. this is how i determine if the game is a tablet game or not. i actually look at the Apple app store version. Stupid Zombies is a tablet game. how do i know? because the same version of that game is offerred on the iPad and on the iPhone. I know this because you see that theres is only one version of the game in the app store and there is a little "plus" sign on the corner of the app icon. this game was designed for tablets and phones. same thing applies for the Android market. Im not sure if you even bothered playing the version of stupid zombies on the ipad and iphone/ipod...but i have. theres no difference between the two. i spend a lot of time testing these apps and games. if one app didnt make you want to look any further, well, i guess its your loss then. i hope people understand that its not always clear cut. thats why theres a voting section. if you think the game/app shouldnt be on the list then please send me a quick msg. it takes two seconds. theres a button right under the app that says "send enquiry". notify me and ill let the people decide if it should be on the list or not. perhaps i should add stupid zombies to the app voting section.
as for the people who have apparently gone through the entire site in a day, im sorry i cant fill the apps fast enough...im the only person doing this right now. hopefully help comes soon. if you find an app then take a second and submit the app. thanks!

I agree with this methodology 100%. Keep in mind this site is brand new and is still growing. That coupled with the sad fact as many of you have pointed out that there are just not that many Tablet designed apps just yet. Give the site a chance folks contribute to the list... we will all benefit from it in my opinion... not that it should mean much since I just joined.... but still!
as far as stupid zombies I play that game on my transformer daily (its addicting) based on the above criteria it fits as a tablet app imho
Thanks and I am glad to be a part of this community and looking forward to getting flamed/ accepted here.

You totally misunderstood what I was saying and the tone. I wasn't slating your site by only saying id looked at one. I was saying id looked at one and not had time to look at more, and was unsure if all the apps were not 'true' apps or not, so i didnt want to judge just from looking at one, just report back immediate findings. I can see why you thought that though. I applaud your efforts.
Anyway I disagree with your thoughts on 'if an app is works fine on an ipad it must be ok in honeycomb, or for an android tablet', but hey if all humans agreed with each other the world would be a boring place. In the case of stupid zombies yes it works fine in honeycomb but its still not a 'true' tablet app and the developer doesnt claim it to be.
I think we can all agree there arent that many honeycomb specific or optimised apps anyway. Get developing people!

IMDB, Movies and about a dozen other apps dont have any mention of being a tablet app in the market, does that make them not a tablet app? Sure they aren't games but still, by that definition it would weed out a lot more than just games. honestly, if i waited around for all developers to post that their apps are for honeycomb/tablets then i would have nothing on the site.
anyway, until someone give me a better solution for posting up games, im going to do what i think feels right. comparing them to their iPad counterparts is CURRENTLY the best solution there is. i check for graphics, gameplay, controls, etc. if its identical, like how stupid zombies is, then its a tablet game.
games like burn the rope will not be on the list because the controls differ from the ipad. the ipad has on screen controls to move the rope instead of having to wave around your tablet, looking like a fool. so thats an example of where the game looks good on phones and tablets but still NOT for tablets.
i hope this clears some stuff up. if anyone has some suggestions on how we can distinguish tablet games then please let me know. thanks!
