I checked the first 3 pages of the forums and didn't see this posted.
Here are some upcoming home replacements for Android. One name that should be familiar to us old WinMo users and a "newcomer."
http://www.tat.se/home/
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pre...gs-support-for-symbian-and-android-along.html
they both look pretty cool but I think tathome looks like it might be a little more to my liking.
SPB isnt out yet, is tathome available yet, i didnt see a download.
+1 for TAT home it looks like it could be NICE I checked out the video (good music and all ;-)) here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/tat-home-the-gesture-powered-3d-home-screen-your-android-device/
I used SPB Mobile Shell 3.x with my Touch Pro and I wasn't too impressed.
*** EDIT ***
Here is a video of Mobile Shell http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/mwc-video-spb-mobile-shell-50-on-android IMO Mobile Shell is suffering from what it always has LAG!!!!! Even on the N1 it looked slow, maybe because it's BETA.

I don't think it's out yet either. You can sign up for the preview here http://www.tat.se/home/ They said that "more information" will be sent later.

Looks cool! I signed up for the TAT preview.
Hrm, TatHome looks like what I envisioned Android 'should be' , I'm liking the look it quite a bit!! Next: to find out whether it really runs that smoothly on my Hero. 3d and graphics are great, but if it slows my phone down in the slightest its automatically going to get turned off.

cant imagine that it would slow it down anymore than sense but time will tell
muahaha, smooth as an iph*ne, and yet still kicking the pants off of it in terms of functionality = complete win for Android.
See, this is why Android is better, and why most everyone here bought an Android phone Since mostly everyone here probably signed up for that preview, the first person that gets the .apk for this, can you please post it up here incase they delay the preview to some people?

+1 on this but at the same time this is why some dont want to develop for android
Why would it make them not want to develop for it? Because some devices have different specs? I'm just curious.

Yes there are a lot of different spec'd Android phones out there but I think he is referencing the fact that Android apps are easier to "warez" than the apps on other OS's. All you have to do is sign up for the paid app extract the .apk post it somewhere. Also any dev can try to "reverse engineer" the app, change a few components and BAM it's on the Market as their "original" creation. Just my .2 cents

that is correct. when swype was first leaked I was actually talking to them about the bennifits of releasing it through the market instead of through manufacturers and one of the biggest concerns that was brought up was the fact that security for apps is too lax. now dont get me wrong everyone knows that for every security mesure there is always a way around it but android security just sucks thats why for the most part people afften have a free version and a donate version. if people can try it and like it then they are more likely to buy it rather than just pirate it. setcpu is a perfect example of this. sure the dev could have made it a protected app (but being a member here at xda he probably knew it was pointless) but he offers it free here and then if you like you can buy from the market to donate to help keep him developing.
so basically all im saying is...ok we all (me included) have pirated apps but if you like the app make sure to go buy it from the market and help keep these people developing for us.
I know I went off on a rant there but without intrest in app development this great platform will fail.
I might be the only here without pirated apps then haha. I did have CoPilot once, but I didn't like it much so I got rid of it. The only time I ever use something pirated is to try it. If I like it and feel the developer should get credit, then fine, I'll donate/buy it.

same here the only thing I am using pirated right now is swype but thats only becuase there is no way to buy it. but thats also because im a cheap ass and maily use free apps unless I really find something useful but to date the only things that I have bought are setcpu and beautiful widgets. im trying cachemate now but it really doesnt seem to be very helpful. I wish I knew a little more about programing there is an app for the iphone that I would love to have on my hero.
i played around with "pandahome" some yesterday. it seems beta right now but they are apparently coming out with pandahome2 soon. it's a good idea, just not quite finished yet. (fc's and whatnot)
anyway you might go check it out (if your feeling froggy).
lots of options and skins ect.ect.ect.
marketplace. free.
Hi, I dont really like the actual status bar's size... is there any way i could make it bigger just like all the other android phones's status bar?

no hard feelings man.....but on there blog Rikard does not state that its finished...he clearly states according to his new blog that this isn't the final release but we are really close to releasing the final candidates into external and operator testing and approval. Which was posted on Oct 14th...which is why I believe all that wont get done in time for there end of Oct release. But yeah, your right, SE cannot afford to delay it again. My post may not help the OP, but I was just commenting on your comment.
Eumh sorry but this thread is not to start a stupid fight over 2.1 AGAIN. Im just asking simple questions and expecting answers from people here. and no fights

Looking through the Post Your Home Screen in the Android section, I'm not sure they are much bigger are they?
yeah they are like 1, 2mm bigger compared to ours. check the new android 2.1 video from the se blog, ull see what im talking about . or go to market check out apps with screenshots and ull see the default bar is larger

Hey guys. I think everyone is aware by now that I'm preparing to launch Android4Autism. As far as ROM development goes, I think I have the basic structure down for the Epic. I haven't yet worked on anything else, device-wise.
Anyway, this ROM is based on EE05 Froyo and is along the lines of the BYOR Editions previously released under the midNIGHT ROM banner. I have some ideas and a beta currently in place but I still ironing out the final feature set. My goal is to provide future upgrades if at all possible as well.
I will be in need of testers (preferably with young kids) for the Actual ROM itself and feedback on the following:
1) Apps that should be available (keeping in mind this is for a special needs child)
2) Suggestions for FREE children's software from the Market.
3) I'm thinking of replacing the Samsung "splash screen" with a picture of the child receiving the device along with emergency contact information. Thoughts?
Anyway, I will try to get this up in the next day or so. I have spoken with Fede from LauncherPro and was given permission to use that as the devices launcher. I choose LauncherPro because it can easily be customized by the parents and it allows for the hiding of icons like the dialer for example. So thanks to Fede and the team over at LauncherPro for their support.
For the latest updates you can follow me on twitter @Android4Autism
Also on Facebook at Android4Autism
The main site is under construction as is the Facebook page but I am making progress. Baby steps.....right.
Please remember to consider donating your old devices....NOT YET.. Just hang onto them for the time being.
Thanks Everyone....
UPDATE:
The Android4Autism v1 ROM for the Epic is up on the Development Page.
THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. This ROM is a test ROM based on midNIGHT ROM v5.3 EC05.
This ROM is designed for children with Autism. While it will function basically the same as a BYOR Edition it comes with children's apps preinstalled.
I'm interested in how your children can utilize this. I have had a few revisions of this ROM already. In previous revisions I had launcherpro preconfigured to hide all the apps but the kids ones. However, for some reason the apps couldn't be unhidden. So when these devices ship out the extra apps will be hidden.
This is a stable ROM.
In the final build the following will change:
journaling turned on.
The wallpaper will change
more kids and Autism friendly apps
PLease let me know what you guys think.
Reserved........
Thank you rob!

Cool Idea, I have a 7 yr old a 3 yr old and a 1yr old that all love to play with my phone. I have to find apps for them all the time to play with. I wouldnt mind helping out with testing. I think its pretty cool that you incorporate something that you love to do with a serious issue that may not be addressed commercially.
I really can't wait for this!!
Btw, you meant to say "EC05" rather than EE05

Thank this mans children for his inspiration to mod/develop roms.
Awesome idea Rob. My sister-in-law was asking if I knew of something she could put on (besides toddler lock) and let her kid have at her phone.
Something like this could get a LOT of interest beyond Autism. Perhaps raising money for it in the process?
Thanks everyone for all the feedback so far.
Rob,
I would be interested in beta testing for you. Would you be willing to email me at [email protected] with some details.
Thanks.

Hands down brilliant. Let me know if I can help test etc. Already liked on FB and have several friends to mention this to.
While reading the description the "splash screen" bullet sparked an idea. When a phone is locked it will allow emergency calls. What if this was altered to provide quick instructions for any third party and also allow a "call" tab to include parent and local emergency? This would allow anyone to pick up the phone and know what to do vs searching for a contact number and guessing. My son has a wallet card indicating that he has AS and it describes what he may be acting like, what to do, what not to do and who to call. This has worked out well but sometimes he it too far into an episode to remember the card or anything else besides the cause of the episode.

I'm sorry to say but the original NeverAgain was a bit misdirected. In the end, it was T-Mobile who held up the update to support sales of the Galaxy S 4G, not Samsung who had already updated their international models to 2.2.1 by December and to Gingerbread as of now. I suspect this case should be the same as it is the carriers who determine if a update will be pushed. LG only makes the updates, but it has no say in whether or not it will be pushed to the G2X.
its a shame that the us has convinced so many to just sit and take it. people have forgotten the voice of the people works. whats annoying is when some ddecide to use this you get these people saying it wont work when there are so many examples of it working in the history of the us and business.
ill get over there. although io think they know me by now from their forum
edit : ok theres too many please give a link to where we should post i cant find the right place./

I didnot register first time
And for past couple days i was getting server error.
Now it shows i can register but at the end it says maximum reached but maybe i thnk they will expand.....hope so i want the nougat badly
Same here with the registration
If they find a way to kick all of the Verizon beta users who are using the beta update against Samsung's will then maybe they will expand it for legitimate users.
I miss the good ol' days when the Odin files for future updates were leaked regularly. But that was like 5 Galaxies ago.

The smaller the group the easier it is for them to fix the reported bugs. Why would they want 100,000 betas instead of 10,000 it is easier for them to not have as many suggestions and bug reports.
I am just curious but why is everyone running to Nougat? It is my understand that there isn't any root yet out for it. Unless I haven't read enough.

Is English no longer being taught in schools?
Anyway, they limit the numbers of beta testers likely because they don't have server capacity to handle everyone who wants it, for bug reports and other metrics. And they probably only require a certain sample size and don't want more people than they need. They are doing the beta for them, not for you to have early access to 7.0.

After the Note 7 they're gonna want all the bug reports they can get.. They need to have 0 issues with this update when it goes live... Any small issue will be exaggerated greatly due to the note 7. They're projected to lose over 5 Billion dollars. That's a lot of spare change right there! Since the s7 edge is what they're replacing notes with, as well as pushing it like crazy now with a new round of advertising, they need it to be perfect.

English isn't my first language either, fyi. It's one thing to make syntax and grammatical errors, and it's easy to tell when someone makes mistakes typical to non-native speakers. Nobody would ever fault you for that. But typing like you're a 12 year old girl (see urself, gr8, evry1, etc) has nothing to do with being a non-native English speaker. If you are indeed a 12 year old girl, please accept my apologies. But if you are an adult, cut out the ridiculous shorthand and communicate like an adult.
As to your second point, nobody told you that you could not express your opinion. In fact, I'm pretty sure I answered your question. Also, they could very well increase the limit for the beta in the future.
