Anybody have any ideas?
Hey trib,
How about broadening your reach by using that creative, artistic flair to make themes or skins for QVGA devices? It may be fun and if you can find a niche in that market you can work your way into the other screen sizes as well. You have good roms already, you could create different new looks to keep them fresh since they are stable enough to use over long periods without re-flashing.
Another idea, just create icon sets for devices. Any creative idea like these could land you a lot of compliments, or better yet, donations, from those that like to freshen up their phone a bit without having to re-flash. On that note, have you figured out a way to skin the WP7 blocks that open the hubs? I have seen many screen shots, real and fake, that show a background image within the weather, calendar, etc, blocks on the main screen. I am still using your Trib7 rom and I really don't mind the HTC green that I have going now but was curious if you or another developer has figured out a way to alter the hub look without an additional 20 lines of code to do so.
Anyway, glad to see your new job isn't keeping you from xda. Good luck with whatever you decide to create.
nice topic, i got it
nice topic, i got it.
When I have some time, I think this sounds like a great idea. Thanks.
Hi all,
My friends and I are a bunch of developers & want to share our knowledge with others. Together, we've written an ebook about all things Android.
We'd love to know what you think about it - we're happy to give you a free copy of our ebook to get your feedback. If you like it, it'd be great if you could write an Amazon review (we sell it through the Kindle store). We're still trying to get the word out there and your help is invaluable. In general, we're just looking for great feedback as we iterate and improve upon this ebook.
If you are interested, e-mail me at mattlee at hyperinkpress dot com
Thanks,
Matt
I'm having trouble finding the right way to locate someone in assisting me with my inquiry... I have an idea for an application, but don't know where to really start. I need to speak to someone who has the brains, patience, and desire to listen. The application would be something that every single employer, company, agency, or individual could benefit from. Anyone willing to contact me via text or email? My name is Jordan.
sorry to break this to you bud, but ideas are like a**holes... everybodys got one.
best way to go about it if you really do believe you have a good idea and are driven to bring it to fruition is to learn to program yourself.
here are some resources:
teach yourself programming in ten years:

how to ask good questions:

wikibooks has material on many programming topics:

.... and if you really want to cop out:

good luck on your journey
I may get told off by the hardcore devs who know eclipse and java much better than I but if you want to write apps yourself but are new to it you can use a windows program called basic4android which lets you program in a visual basic type language that is very easy to learn and it then compiles it to proper apk file (no interpreter but a proper standalone market ready app).
I started using it last year and was able to code all sorts of apps from games to anti theft ones quite quickly, and it has a great user support forum.
It might be a good option to try as it is easy to learn but very powerful and means you could put your ideas into action yourself

I figured that would be the response I would get haha Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate the links.
Good Luck Finding Someone!
I still need a developer I can talk to so they can tell me whether this kind of app would be possible to create. Is there anyone on here that would be willing to contact me?
Google programming freelance
Google "programming freelance" and you will find lots of freelancing sites, I personally used odesk in the past, I had mixed success, my biggest problem was the heavy Indian accent, some things are just easier to say verbally then in writing, but if I dont understand his accent, this can be a problem
Hello to everyone!
I've been learning to code for a while so to create my own application/software idea but the problem is that I found out that it isn't really my "area". The thing is I still got this awesome idea that I really want to be developed. It's pretty obvious that I'm not just yelling out what the idea specifically is...but... I need someone that:
1- Knows how to develop an app and release to it in "play store".
2- Good all-round(by this I mean can easily jump from one problem to a completely different problem)(I don't need a "programmer or nothing")
3- Well motivated and friendly.
4- This idea obviously needs some funding. I can do that on my own if you don't want to. Without a doubt the profits will be split between us (This will be later accorded when we meet up)
The idea basically is: Develpment of an alternative market. Come on read on... By market I don't mean Aptoid,Snappzmarket where people can steal software...It's a different market.
The idea won't make you a billionare! But it has an incredible amount of potential if done correctly...and that's where I need you.
I currently live in Italy but can travel anywhere in Europe without any problem.
If anyone is interested in this please contact me via PM. I'm relitively new to xda developers but I have been reading loads of great stuff on it so THUMBS UP XDA! I'm not posting my email address for SPAM reasons.
Hey Guys,
One of my favorite apps was recently pulled from Google Play. I contacted the developer asking if I could modify some of the source code for my own personal use and he consented. The problem is I am in over my head and can't really figure out how to do what I want to do. I want to add in functionality that the app at one time had (so I'm sure the code is still in there somewhere just disabled.)
It is an app for viewing comic strips. Since I agreed not to distribute I am hoping there is ONE other person who would also like a comic strip viewer and would be willing to help me work on it so they could make use of it too.
If anyone is interested, I would really appreciate it, it would be a great learning experience for me as I am just now getting into coding/development. All I ask is that you do not distribute the app, post it anywhere online, etc and that you are patient enough to work with a beginner.
Thanks.
