I've seen a few App Requests posted as threads here, and I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to act as a catchall for App Requests. I gather that we have Dev Dudes from major tech corps roaming around these halls, so why not have a list of apps we want as consumers easily available to them!
I'll kick things off with these requests:
-A good, integrated guitar/bass tuner with metronome and practice timer(s)
-Adobe Camera RAW interface
-Adobe Bridge for tablets
-VLC Player for tablets
-DJ mixing software that can use headphone output and HDMI [audio] separately for cue/mix output
Feel free to point us to apps that fill requests as they are developed or if they have existed before the request
Way to develop/compile your own android programs.... (or at least just do the developping/autocomplete, etc would be AWESOME!) and well. an app that could launch a ubuntu distro

I'd like an app that you can instantly take a snapshot of the screen or take a camera snapshot and start to annotate on it right away, e.g you were browsing and came across something of interest and you want to add your own comments and underline or mark a specific area.
I know this can be done using repligo or ezpdf however it will involve a few steps to achieve using the Asus's in built snapshot feature and then converting the document to pdf in order to annotate but I want something instant without having to convert the file first, similar to htc flyers note taking app.
Can't you do this with Evernote? I just downloaded this last night but it seems really slick.

Unfortunately, you cannot annotate using evernote although it is fantastic for taking notes, i use it at work at meetings. I want to be able to take a snapshot of the meeting agenda which is usually printed and then start to add notes against agenda items.
I'm just going to make a list of the things I think will make this brilliant - I'm a very small time developer, and don't have the skills to do these, unfortunately:
Something similar to Microsoft Onenote - Drawing/notes/annotations all in one
"Phone Sync" where you pick up your tablet, and it also becomes your phone for SMS, MMS, Calls, and you can share clipboards between the two - This would be brilliant!
Decent Twitter and Facebook widgets
Modified Launcher with resizable widgets, folders - ideally, LauncherPro optimised for Honeycomb.
I'd like to see the Monkey Island games and some of the old Cinemaware titles such as Defender Of The Crown on Android.

You can play the monkey island games nicely using ScummVM.

I designed an Android app for tablet which I think would be pretty easy to make, UI, name, logo and all, but... I'm not a programmer. Also I believe this will be an app which would be handy for a lot of people.
Since I designed, thought of and branded the app I really don't just want to give the idea away to anyone, but if any app developer is interested feel free to contact me and I could explain the concept to them.
PS: I don't want a share of the profits or to get paid for it or anything like that, all I would want is to find a developer who could do justice to not only the concept but also to the design since there are so many well functioning but terrible looking android apps.
Excellent posts!
Thanks for the interest and the activity on the thread!
I'm watching a thread where a couple Asus dev dudes have actually weighed in on an issue users are having, so I'm gonna see if I can't point them to this one so we'll have some ears that can make a difference. Hopefully some [all?] of the ideas here will filter thru and become reality!
Kudos to everyone!
I'd like an app that can sync via bluetooth (not via the web/cloud), incoming sms messages/caller id/missed call info, from an android phone directly to the transformer with notifications.
I know there are lots which do it via the web, but this isn't an option for me (pre-pay sim not contract).
EDIT:
Another idea for an app, don't know if possible to implement or not. When browsing google search results it would be nice to have an app that lets you see how many kilobytes or megabytes a website requires you to download, before you accessed the page. So that mobile users can see how much data is required and can manage their free allowance better, or not be charged a fortune.
A media player app that can
1. have gesture controls like moboplayer
2. have good codec support like moboplayer
3. can stream from server
4. and can hide the honeycomb taskbar!!!!
Settlers of Catan map generator
Would be cool to see a Settlers of Catan map generator with support for Seafarers, Cities and Knights, Harbours and a roll counter.
did it ever occur to anyone that now that there is a keyboard and mouse capabilities that someone should port an fps to the transformer?
I would love an app/widget that monitored the battery of both the Transformer and the keyboard dock. It's almost impossible to tell how much juice is left in the keyboard. If someone knows of an app/widget or a built-in way to do that, please let me know.
Edit: I would also love to see a folder app that integrates data from the Market, so if I download a game, it automatically adds it to the Games folder, etc.

Eye-Fi for Android
I'd like to see a version of the EyeFi manager/control center for Android
still hunting for the torrent app to work with private torrents
alternate keyboard
since the dock is still in short supply it would be nice to have the ability to use my android phone as a keyboard/trackpad for my transformer through bluetooth or something. the entire screen could be a landscape keyboard that you could swipe down to access trackpad.
Hi everyone,
Thank you in advance for taking the time to check out our new Android app: memosaic.
We built "memosaic" with the goal of making it easier for users not only to note down their thoughts and ideas on their mobile, but to make it also easier to re-arrange those memos in a visual structure that can add logical relations among content of the memos, or simply a visual layout for clean and organized memo.
While the above scenario is the idea behind the app, we think the current implementation is simple enough to allow much more creative ways of using it.
Since the early days after releasing to Google Play, most of downloads have been from Japan, but we believe the concept is universal,
and we would love to get feedback from as many of you as possible. Hopefully some would share the same enthusiasm for the app as we do.
App Features:
1. Can take notes by typing texts, importing photos from gallery, or directly from camera app
2. Allow to arrange the pieces of memo in a visual tree structure with constant spacing for better overall visibility.
3. Can copy/cut/paste or swap memo pieces, we call sheets, to re-arrange the content of the note.
Download link:
Could not post link, so please search for "memosaic" on Google Play.
package name is co.memosaic.mg. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Feedback is most welcome.
Hi everyone,
Big thanks to those who already checked memosaic out.
Your honest feedback and function requests are the most welcome.
Thank you for the time.
Sincerly,
Team memosaic
I really like the concept of this, being aesthetically pleasing is a huge plus as well.
The one thing i'm picky about is the ability to get data out, do you have any export possibilities planned? preferably in some way that is readable by other software (whether it be on a computer or android)? maybe html or xml?
I really don't like using an app for a long period of time, then finding out it has turned into abandonware and there is absolutely no way of exporting it in a human-readable format aside from yanking whatever database it uses internally and trying to reverse engineer a way to export it.

Thank you very much for checking out memosaic, and bigger thanks for the feedback. We are so glad you liked the concept and the design that we tried very hard to keep it as simple as possible.

Yes, yes! Exporting data out is definitely a key feature that we are taking a little time to get it right. HTML is the format we are targeting for, so stay tuned.

We have a few ideas on how to backup/share memosaic notes, and we will try to make it as smooth as possible. With you +1 request we will work even harder on this.
Thank you again

Thanks for the reply! I'm excited to see it progress, the functionality has grown on me ten-fold since I started tinkering around with it, the grid system is ingenious
Alright, so without going into too much unnecessary detail, we've got a backend (Golang, Postre), and a web frontend (Angular) that, among other things, displays a horizontal grid of images (4 per screen).
The plan has always been to, once we complete the backend and web frontend, hire devs for the apps. And we still intend to do that - for Android, iOS, Windows and even Glass, but.. The other day I had a crazy idea.
I've always loved programming. A LOT. When I was in junior high I learned how to build websites, and have been hooked ever since. Last year I updated my knowledge of CSS/HTML, and coded for the first time in probably a decade.. it was AMAZING. Incredibly incredibly addictive - you feel like you are creating something ALIVE! It's an incredible feeling..
Yeah, so the crazy idea..
I thought that, just for starters, I would try to get the Android app running myself.. Now, mind you, I have never done anything programming-related outside of HTML and CSS, and certainly have never made an app, but.. I figured.. all I need to start is a horizontal grid of images, 4 per screen.
And you just scroll horizontally, and click whatever image you like to maximize it. That can't be hard, right? That's all I need to start - later I can add the menu, etc. But to start.. I just need to pull those images off our backend, right?
And then in the future I can enable adding images, swiping, voting, sharing, whatever - but one step at a time right.
And then once I no longer have enough time to dedicate to the app and it grows too big, I'll pass it on to a mobile dev, along with the iOS and other apps..
So.. question.. if all I'm looking to create is a horizontal 2x2 image grid that pulls them off our server.. how do I do that?
All depends on your server. recommend looking into post and get http protocols on android. as for displaying the images. this might be what your looking for https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/186 if not, just check on other parts of that site. it would have everything a beginner will need.
Hello,
First let me say that I am not a developer/scripter. I teach graphic design and would like my students to be able to create a digital magazine. As a graphic designer with no programming experience whatsoever, I thought one of you might know how I can take all the pages we've created (each as a separate image in Photoshop) and cluster all the pages of the project together so that the end user can swipe through each page of the magazine. Perhaps it's simpler that what I'm thinking, but I haven't done this before. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everybody
Small intro:
I'm building a startup to create the first HumaneTech smartphone experience. For you.
Our project is to create a smartphone experience that is: Excellent. But not addictive.
A smartphone experience that respects your brain. And doesn't mess with your neurotransmitters. To allow you to use your phone without getting hooked, If you want.
To do that, we want to remove/redesign features that are addictive (believe me ! ) :
Glowing colors on screens
Notifications (the pings, the red numbered icons)
Thumb scrolling down (twitter/fb/etc news feed scrolling)
(and many other things)
We understand the psychology of it but we don't have tech skills (yet).
Let's say you have a smartphone/internet/p*rn addiction. And you want your own phone to help you.
Can you imagine android with :
AI based image recognition & filtering
One unique browser (designed to filter p*rn)
DNS/ HOSTS file based p*rn site filtering
Forced Google/Bing/etc SafeSearch
Phone use analytics (amount of time spend on X website/app etc)
Customisable "self parental controls" (limit the amount of time you can use an app, access a website,etc to keep you more productive) that you cant easily remove once set, to protect you
Customisable internet filters (hard to remove)
And in a moment of weakness, no easy way for you to remove it?
We thought of an app but all it takes is to boot in safe mode to bypass it (or not?)
Can we develop a customised Android that flashes like a ROM on a users phone and makes these changes?
We realise anybody motivated enough could do most of the above on his phone himself. By installing 4-5 third party apps, for example. But it wouldn't be perfect.
It could be easily removed. And the average user wants it easy to install.
Any ideas? I have very little technical skills and I'm still looking for answers on how to do this.
Thank you !
P.S.
First post so I'm not allowed to post links
Please go to HumaneTech dot com to understand what this is about.
There is a already a Chrome extension that filters nude images using AI. Its called vRate and works through a server
P.P.S.
I apologise in advance if I posted this in the wrong area.
This is in no way intended to promote a product. Nothing has been coded yet. I'm even willing to pay for a short conversation with someone who can answer these questions.
