hey guys im trying to find someone to create an app, I have no idea how complicated it would be to do it but I am looking for an app simialer to strobox for the iphone. if I was smarter I might be able to understand the code so I could make it myself but I have bought and read several books on how to do it and just dont get it. if anyone wants or can help let me know.
I too have been craving this app since I got an android phone. This is way beyond my experience, but if someone makes it, I'll buy it.
it woldn't be OVERLY complicated...
This would be complicated for me, just because I don't have a clue what the hell it does even after looking at the website.
Not saying I can write it, looks like it would take a good bit of dev time.
Couple of weeks for anything work able.

It is an application for photographers that allows you to create lighting diagrams of strobe and camera placement in a scene for reference.

Well, If you find someone that could tackle the UI, I could work in the rules for you. I just wouldn't have a clue about what rules to use unless I was given them by someone who knows. That's over my head.

UI design or coding? I definitely couldn't do the coding, but the design maybe.
Oh yeah, the Strobox app is under a creative commons license, so the UI could probably be used as longs the the app stays under creative commons. Which, would probably restrict the app from being sold.
yes the dev put it under CC because she wanted to make sure that it was a free app that being said I would be more than happy to "DONATE" to anyone that could do this, and would be more than happy to help with the graphics aspect of it if someone can code it. The code is WAY over my head.
@bernard_photography: its nice to see someone else intrested in this. I have been trying to find a way to get ahold of the dev of strobox since I got my hero. I use speedlights a lot and it was a life saver for repeateability on location.
and the thing about it is that yeah you would have to make it a free app but if you where really looking to get into app dev this could really get your name out there just like it did for the strobox dev. I mean as soon as she released it it was all over ALL of the major photography blogs.
I'm in contact with the dev now to see what I can work out.

Saweet. I hope this comes together. My wife just got an iPod touch and the app is pretty sick.
Have you guys looked at this:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/discuss/72157624143703396/
Search "Photo Studio Buddy" in the market or scan his QR Code.
Wow, that saved me a lot of work! LOL.
The dev of StroBox pointed it out to me. She wasn't very willing to share her source...iPhone users...go figure.
Thanks, that works pretty well. It could use some work, but it is a start for sure. I appreciate your help.
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.
+1 Great idea

Anyways...
Glad that people could use something like this. At some point I'll deifnitely start to work on it.
yeah, would defiantly appreciate something likes this. I spend so much time with 360's i hardly have time to mess with my phone and this would make it a much easier task.

No its on winmo which means I'm sure windows owns it. A Dev would have to complete code their own browser and create their own code fore the cube affect... pain in the ass so yes id say there's a 97 % chance we will never see a standalone apk for it.

Hey guys, I am the developer for SurfCube. First, thanks for liking it...
FYI, we didn't have to code a new browser engine, SurfCube uses the built-in browser. However, we did have to do work for the cube effect, accelerometer support, orientation lock, bandwidth saver, and a lot of other features.
Let me know if you have questions.

I would like this on android as well! That looks really badass, if it was full function.. it would be sucessful as a paid app IMO.

Well dev, I say listen to your customers....you are talking to a community of devs & users that say they like your work and want it, yes we could find a way to code it, but I can say that I would be glad to pay a buck or two to have this rather than spend the time to get it up and running, and I'm sure that others here feel the same, most of us have put in the time to build things and have no issue with paying others for their hard work.

Sure I am listening... but I am a Windows Phone 7 developer, and have no Android experience. That's why I said that if somebody wants to work on SurfCube for Android, I am willing to pay. Especially if it can be done in 24 hours (which I highly doubt - this was a lot more on WP7, which is the most productive dev platform out there).
Hi Guys
Looks like there's a pretty good ICS port for the Vibrant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961
Has anyone attempted to port this thing to the SGS4G? I read the guide on how to do it and it doesn't sound like there's a ton of work, since you only have to compile one file.

I just realized that was my 1000th post. Good thing it was a joke.
I read a lot, and talk a little, so my perspectives are often skewed.
That being said, it AMAZES me how often think "just compiling one file" is so simple. Really? Just sending one monkey to mars should be easy too...start flapping your arms, and I'll meet you there.
The point being? The tools aren't there yet, and anyone who utilizes the amazing superpower of literacy knows that.
Guess I'll get off my soap box now.

Did you read the porting guide? Pretty sure the JDK and the other tools the author specified can do the job. Specifically decompiling, hex editing and recompiling. I used the amazing superpower of literacy to read that, btw.

Well, there is this fancy 'search' tool in the upper right coner of the web page.
This conversation has been going on for quite some time.
You sure could port the rom, but the kernel for the sgs4g will not work... yet.
The other problem is that it would be better to have the source for the rom then to just mod the vibrant rom. Reason being is that if we have the source we can use normal debugging tools to find and solve the issues, instead of trying to reverse engineer open source software... which just seem silly to me.
I just got my "bryan fun pack" from sparkfun today, which is what I've been waiting for to get moving on cm7 and u-boot for our phone. Please hold...
Remember about a month ago when XDA came out with a book about rooting and flashing ROMs?
I was just wondering if there were any books (or guides maybe) like that, that showed how to make ROMs from scratch, not through all of these annoying kitchens. (Don't really like them, they make me feel like a noob... of course I suppose I am)
So whatever, that's really about it. Thanks guys!
(Oh by the way, I have tried Nero's ROM guide and wasn't a huge fan, also I'm getting another computer solely for the purpose of Ubuntu too if that matters at all.)

Pretty awesome, never heard of Lubuntu before now. I'd consider it, but any recent tutorials I've looked at use Ubuntu. (Sadly though, they're ridiculous! For example, there was a post about compiling Jelly Bean from source code, and its practically not even in English! I mean I know some coding and all, but despite that, nothing is explained. It just do this like "do this and then do this and this and then we're done. An don't worry, there won't be a troubleshooting page because we know all you out there are experts.)
Whatever, that's my rant. Hopefully a mod will come along some time soon and point us in the right direction. Fingers crossed. :highfive:

Lubuntu is basically a lighter version of Ubuntu, still runs on the same principles as in version number etc. I understand your frustration with regards to where to find "how to" code, but, my view on tutorials is exactly that where aspects of what you're supposed to be doing are not explained. I think we need to be looking into another category for books, e.g. a coding practice used for android. See what happens
Yeah I suppose you're right. Off to Google/Amazon!
(of course if anyone sees this and would still like to post, by all means, do so!)
EDIT: After a god half an hour of searching, I think I finally found it. The problem is, you're gonna need $50 if you want to snag it.
http://www.amazon.com/Android-Foren...-Security/dp/1597496510/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk
It is by far the most in detail book I've seen. Just look at the overview of the chapters! It's just like what I was looking for! Woohoo!
Oh man $50. Hard being a broke student.
I would love to learn to. Anyone can tell me where to start? What languages i need to learn (java, linux, c++, etc)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If your tomato just so happens to be running a version of android that can support the Kindle app, you can actually get it for about $40 too...
And while I'm not an expert in this field (in fact I really don't know too much) I do know that android uses java and converts it to another language using the dalvik machine. So if you really have no where to start, try learning some java.

This is a great guide thanks
Thanks, good guide !
That book looks more related to security than anything else. Anything for development in particular?
If you look at the insides though, it shows how to create the internals, with step by step pieces. Chapter 7 (I think) also has 6 popular methods to obtain root access.
Look at the sneak peek and read the summaries of the chapters. It's definitely going on my Christmas list.
EDIT: As for anything solely for development, I have yet to find anything like that. Hence the reason for posting this thread.
Well, my tomato can support kindle.
Anyway, great thread. Hope someone who can help us reads this and decides to help us further.
