[Q] Awesome Apps/Widgets ideas!!!

Hello,
I'm new here and I see a very smart guys around...I would like you to challange to give me some new, fresh ideas of apps/widgets. Doesn't matter how strage, crazy or funny is!
Can you do this?
Best regards

1) A srollable widget in witch you can place icons or other widgets so it acts like an app drawer
2) An app that can control an other android device like a remote control (already there for pc's). For axample: you can control your tablet that is connected to a tv.

As you said idea may sound crazy so would be great if you develop an app that cover the naked bodies when a porn website is opened on your device.

I don't think that would be possible with an application.
I think thats more of something that would need to be developed by the website owners.

You obviously know nothing of image recognition. That's actually quite a simple task, for a seasoned developer, using existing (and publicly available) libraries.
Maybe not actual clothing, but it could certainly cover nudity.

make a widget 1x1, 2x1, 4x1 size (or any suitable) that shows missed call count, unread sms and emails
should display something like:
(in 1 row) 2 calls, 1 sms, 2 emails
or
(in a column)
2 calls
1 sms
2 emails
or
instead of text, put small icons
then ability to hide if count is zero or change color if number is greater than zero.
don't forget to have ability to choose email inbox (if many are used)
for 2x1 widget, add ability to have battery percentage display and next alarm (this can easily fit if icons for missed, unread "stuff" is used)
The idea is to have a small, yet very informative widget that packs only important information: missed call, unread sms and email, battery level, next alarm. and ability to configure each information (color, position, icon, ability to hide)
I'm sure if this is implemented (or at least 50%), people will like it!

Nothing crazy but just a music control widget (► Play ▌▌ Pause ■ Stop) for google listen and maybe a universal control for whatever is playing at the moment.

Great!!! Keep it up!!!
Thank you guys!!! Very nice.
You are creative minds, more ideas, please, come on!!!
I would like to develop a very good application, original, useful and funny and can offer a prize (like money) for the best idea.
I think I can set up a "Top 20" Ideas and to the first 3 some to offer prizes.
What do you think?
Best regards

Interesting...
1. Do you mean a launcher? There are some very good launchers (LauncherPro).
2. Like an Android Remote Control (something like VNC or Remote Desktop)?
Beast regards

I have one, and that, is to create music controls from the notification bar. Not sure if it involves a widget ;/ but would be great if someone could make it possible.

Augmented reality?
What about augmented reality? Some ideas? What is your opinion about it?
Something using sensors, camera, gps?

No offense - if some people know more than others, it doesn't mean they have got a license to degrade others. Come on add some wit and real fun in your lives too. He said go crazy and give ideas, every body participated just like I did. At least my words made some of you smile and I believe what I wanted, I got.
I just wrote to make such application in fun; but since now top 3 ideas gonna have some prize too, so I'm gonna think deeply after my Monday's exam Chill folks.

[Q] about Gun bros
I am motorola milestone user and I use CM7 11-02-18 's ROM. I have problem with GUN BROS game I can not play it.I can open the game but when the game try loading to begin it crash to desktop .Someone help me please.i like this game.
thank you

Please please please please please make a Google Talk widget! Tons of people want this but it seems like no one is up for making a widget.
A good widget would maybe being able to view your messages or quickly reply to messages using the widget without launching gTalk itself.
Going further, maybe a better gTalk client in itself that allows for popup windows and quick replies. There are tons of apps/widgets like this for SMS, just wish gTalk got some love as it is used fairly widely.
I'd say it would be a surefire way to rake in some dough as there is absolutely no competition on the market. There is only client available is the official gTalk client (not counting multi-protocol IM clients) and only 1 gTalk widget on the market (status changer).

How about the ability to take a picture of documents with your camera and be able to use the data in excel. Sort of a text to column app using your camera. $$$

[APP][2.1+][v1.0.0]EpDetect - epileptic seizures detector

EpDetect is an free accelerometer based mobile phone application that uses advanced signal processing to detect epileptic seizures. It runs on most mobile phones that support SMS messaging, movement detection and GPS position location.
EpDetect will monitor the movement of the person while the phone is in their pocket or worn on a belt. The software will differentiate the movements associated with epilepsy from normal movement.
When a seizure is detected it will warn the person that it is about to send an SMS message to a carer, in the case of a false alarm the person will be able to cancel the SMS alert. The SMS message contains time, GPS coordinates (if the phone has GPS) and a short message, allowing the carer to raise the alarm and take remedial action or call an ambulance. When the person recovers they press a button to cancel the alarm, which will initiate an end of emergency SMS message.
Available at Android Market & soc.io mall Market.
You can also visit official EpDetect site.

That's a really nice idea. Well done!

Because of problem with the patent, we have to change the manner of distribution (hopefully temporarily). See updated links in first post.

Application returned to the Android Market

Hi dally ,
good to see you back here too. My times on wm6.5.x are over and i was searching for your app again. And i have found it on the market and then on XDA.

Thank You very, very much...!!!!

[App][Free][2.1+] My First App: Fast Time Calculator!

I just published my very first Android app!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pauldavidsantana.timecalculator
I initially created this app for my girlfriend so she could easily calculate when she needed to clock back in for lunches and breaks, and after a few months, I decided to publish it for real and become a true Android developer!
What do you think? Any comments, feedback? Features you think would be worthwhile to add? I'm a new developer and looking to learn!

Ok, here is a question:
When the screen rotates and sometimes even when re-opening the app, the timepicker times get blanked out.
How do I stop this from happening?
I tried creating a SharedPrefrences object and saving/restoring the times but the above still occurs.

Updated for Holo all the way back to Android 2.1! (Via ActionBarSherlock)
Vastly improved look. Attached is a before and after. Huge improvement eh?
Anyone have any other design suggestions for me? Or perhaps new features to implement?

Developing an app for S3 - feedback request

Hi guys, I'm in my A2 year of school studying Computing and am wondering if anyone is willing to spare their time to help out a stranger on the internet :laugh:
I'm designing an alarm clock application for my Computing coursework, as it allows for a good degree of complexity without being too difficult to build.
Currently I am researching for feedback to features that I can add to the application. I wrote up a questionnaire to be answered for the coursework. If I get responses to this it helps my marks a lot in the Analysis section of the coursework. If anyone has a few moments of spare time to answer, that would be muchly appreciated.
Questionnaire:
1. Have you ever used your default alarm clock application?
a. If yes, continue with questionnaire​b. If no, please take a moment to review your alarm application.​2. Do you find the alarm to be an effective application?
3. Do you use it as an alarm in the morning? (Skip if 1b) Is it effective at waking you in the morning?
4. What is the best feature about the application?
5. What would you improve about the application?
6. Have you ever tried any other alarm clock applications for you phone?
a. If yes, what application(s) and how did they perform?​7. What is your preferred method of getting up in the morning?
8. Would you willingly pay money for an alarm clock application?

[APP][4.0.3+] Dog Advisor: a simple and funny reminder tool

Hello!
Our Yalos development team is currently working on a small but very useful App called „Dog Advisor“
You can find it here: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advisor.advisor.advisor
Current version: 1.1.4
Supported Android versions: 4.0.3 or higher
Supported languages: English, Russian
Category: Entertainment
App type: shareware
It's a combination of a useful reminder tool that helps you to control such important events like missed phone calls or unnoticed sms-messages with a funny Dog buddy that lives in your smartphone and entertains you like a kind of digital pet. Most of the time the Dog remains invisible but as soon as one of the events happens, it appears on the screen and reminds you about the missed event with a funny cartoon style animation. Besides that the dog can entertain the user by different animated scenes on the smartphone screen like sleeping, eating, reading a newspaper or doing sport exercises. All together it creates the impression of a friend that moved into your smartphone.
The App has many settings that allow to define all notification and entertainment functions according to the requirements of each single user. If necessary, you can disable the sound effects and the dog will remind about the events with a closed mouth. You can also set up a “quiet time” - a time interval when the Dog works only in a silent mode. This is especially important for the night time or weekends. If you don't want to see the dog on the screen, you can simply wipe it away with your finger. If you press the dog, it will show you the screen referring to the current notification type (calls list, messages, calendar or alarm clock menu)
Currently supported events are:
missed phone calls
unread sms-messages
calendar events
built-in alarm clock
We are constantly working on new features and would like to hear some new impressions about our app. In future we plan to develop the Advisor into a big assistant app that will help with many different functions, we also want to create new characters to chose from. Sadly it's impossible to work on all appearing ideas at the same time so maybe you will also share your thoughts on the features that you feel are extremely missing now?
The app is shareware but the 14-days trial version has no functional limitations and works exactly like the full version which can be purchased after the trial period.
We are looking forward to your comments, ideas or maybe critical remarks about our app! Thanks!
