So, I'm a graphic designer by trade and while working on expanding my portfolio, I started thinking about an app concept. Slowly I worked out the concept for a honeycomb app, this included UI, functions, visual identity, uses, targeted user base. The main idea was to create an app that was both visually appealing and useful since most android apps around frankly look like ****.
Now what I'm looking for is a dev to translate this concept into an actual app since I'm a lowly designer and my programming experience doesn't go beyond jQuery. Now for all I care the dev interested can sell it or distribute it for free, all I want is credit for the design and initial concept.
Now because of this I'm not going to just post the idea for the app here since I put a lot of time and effort into it, but any dev willing to help can PM me and I'll give detailed information. I must tell you that it is a relatively simple app.
Also to prove I am not just talking out of my ass,
here's the logo design:

and here is a screenshot of a part of the app:
I must note again that I'm not looking for profit or money, just credit.
EDIT: please fix the title.

Hello, hope you been getting some responses. Can you at least let us in on what kind of program it might be? Just curious.

I have gotten 2 responses, and it's a productivity app aimed at people who enjoy drawing.
And no it is not a drawing app.
bump again

sadface bump ):
that logo looks like a electrostatic tablet pen for drawing. I'm guessing you're trying to make a tablet driver for Honeycomb?
Or, probably you're tying to make a simulated pressure sensitive drawing application with one thumb on that slider on the side controlling brush size.

From the Logo, I thought it was smoking related... like smoking a big ole reefer or something.
In all seriousness, if I may critique the logo. The colors are working great as red black and white always seem to harmonize nicely.
What I think could work better is if you got rid of some of that negative... actually empty space around the stylus. In other words, crop in closer to the actual tool. It will put much more emphasis on your focal point, the pen.
Also fix the sinuous lines coming off the tip. Right now, it looks as if you're tyring to illustrate smoke.
I think those are the only issues that I personally see. Good luck and keep us posted~

You see the first N1, the interface looks really good and then if you read the comments from the user, it says:
"I also added the first look at the new Deep Blue user interface that will ship in a ROM update that has yet to be decided. For those who root, watch out for this one. It will be complete and may add a few new widgets you don't get with the stock Android interface. Please read the legal note below regarding the new interface."
There is also a legal notice on this so no one can copy this work....
So what do you guys think?

Hmm Gingerbread anyone ?
Doubt anything official would ever look like that, personally.
Really do NOT dig that dial-like theme...
I'd love to see it becoming real, but those pics are really old and still nothing....
I love the missed calls / emails / text messages...to bad he doesn't know its Sergey Brin not Bin

looks great. does anyone know what that clock widget on the darker version is?
Seems like the dock at the bottom is a colossal waste of screen space for the number of buttons it has.

You guys are hilarious! Thanks to commenting on my theme. It WAS in development for Ultimate Droid Rom but Blackdroid and I kinda parted ways on a good note. So that leaves this theme in limbo. Anyone interested in working on making it a reality? Contact me at zandog (at) gmail dot com I also have a few more themes on my smartphone design concepts at zandog.deviantart.com
wait so we can download this already? check out the download button on the side. we can download already?!
I hope you are not being serious. It's only a psd file for photoshop if anyone wants to make theme.

actually i was. sorry that i didnt know wtf that was
lol it's cool. Now if someone can actually make them really that would be just awesome. For starters I'll settle for the widget with missed calls and text count and all those goodies
lol yeah i would like that too
Is there anyway to get that red android wallpaper? looks really nice.
Hi everyone,
i am expecting my DHD to be shipped on Monday (hopefully )
so instead of waiting restlessly in front of my computer screen i decided to design my own case for the DHD since most online cases don't fit my taste.
as of now i've made the first prototype design and would like to ask you for general advice and help.
my two questions are as follows:
1. since i do not have the device at hand i don't know the exact dimensions so could anyone tell me (based on the pics) if you think the prototypes are of the right size?
2. i am not sure which design to go for, could you tell me which do you think looks best and the criteria on which you based your opinion?
thanks
note about the pics: i also included pics of a smaller card holder which i had previously made to show how the laser engraving actually looks like (i think this time the laser strength was too powerful as it cut through the material xD) and how the thread is supposed to look like (i made the android one in a hurry as i had to finish an essay before i could go out xD)
also, my favourite atm is the androids design but the wax which i tried melting on it seemed to make it look worse than i thought it would, probably cos the laser cut out too much xD, so i would also like to ask you, do you think i should make the background androids larger to increase detail or do they look ok that way?
heh another note: TEKBOI/ TEK301 is my usual nickname, that's why i engraved it
finally, the case prototypes , i hope you like them
EDIT: Thanks apprentice for letting me know about the pics :/ i think they should work now

are they visible now?
tomorrow i should have time to cut out another case but i'm not sure if i should keep the same design or not, i am not sure wether to blame to intricate design of the androids or the higher laser setting, i'll trychanging both probably xD
wow. they are amazing! i prefer the simpler design, but both are very cool.
I actually remade the Android one but enlarged the background androids this time. I attached a pic I just took with the dhd cos I'm not home. Once I got the phone I made a smaller design as this one is slightly too big and I also changed the Android sizes again. I haven't had time to go cut it yet though :/
Thanks btw xD

Basically SudoTape lets you mark up images on your device, images either saved on the device externally or using the built-in camera intent.
I found that being a code monkey most my life my writing with those ancient things calls pens and pencils sucks. Recently I found I needed to take some notes for measurements of things in my house and found I couldn't read my own damn writing so I thought, "Why can't I just take a picture of what I want to measure and just draw on the picture"?
This is the premise for SudoTape.
Here is the market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.pixelsystems.sudotape
Here is a link to the documentation: http://pixelsystems.net/?page_id=66
The app is free so it costs nothing to try it out. Your device doesn't need a camera in order to use the app even if the market suggests a camera is required.
Just curious what became of this app? I'm looking for an app for photo markup and this might have fitted the bill. Not available in the Canada play store though.

I haven't had time to update the app, it was frozen in time on Android 2.3 or something ancient. The entire camera functionality changed since I wrote the app so much of the camera functionality didn't work, or didn't work well enough to keep it in the store. I was getting tons of negative reviews so I just pulled it.
Not sure if I'll ever get back to updating it.. last I looked there were a bunch of similar apps out there so maybe you'll find something that will do what you want.
Funny thing is, it's harder than you'd think to find a really good photo markup app.
* SnapMarkup comes close but lacks text boxes
* Nimbus seems a bit overboard....

Too bad, I liked how the app worked.. Since I can't read my bloody writing anymore I used it a lot when doing some changes around the house. Sadly the SDK around the camera was in TERRIBLE shape, Android 2.X was a mess at the time with each manufacturer doing their own thin in regards to retrieving images from the camera. It made it a nightmare to try and debug and hack through all the different odd behaviors.
Chances are though, even if I managed to rewrite the camera portion to use the new SDK the whole UI is also frozen in time with the notion of having a menu button (which almost no phones do now).
Maybe some day, but not anytime soon. Thanks for the interest though.

Hey XDA! I think you guys will be able to appreciate the Apple humor here more than anyone else It was inspired by Dilbert: http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2010-09-23/
Reality Distortion Field (RDF) is a technology that enables one to manipulate reality itself. It has been used for decades by highly influential people to excite, convince, and rally; to bring peace and to incite wars; and mostly to sell mediocre gadgets at premium prices.
For the first time, the secret to the RDF is revealed. The Reality Distortion Field app by Elemris is the first and only to bring this incredible power to your Android phone. Using space-age science, this app allows you to project a small Reality Distortion Field around you to help in your daily life.
Influence your peers… charm anyone... have people marvel at your smartphone even if it has a tiny 3.5 inch screen … now you can have it all.
The RDF is maintained by the battery's electric energy. However the battery drain is minimal because the battery is being fed back by Reality Distortion energy from inside the field. In effect battery life may last longer than usual.
New: SHAKE your device, and the app will convert your body's kinetic energy into RDF energy, for a temporary energy boost.
Results may vary; use for entertainment.
Works best if used at least 3 times a day.
Support
If you run into any problems using Reality Distortion Field, please tell us and we'll do our best to help. As you probably know, it's not possible to provide support through the Android Market - so contact me directly either at elemris.com/contact-us or here on XDA. Thanks for your feedback and support! and if you like our app, please rate and comment and let the world know

Yes indeed. Though I hear the RDF implementation in iOS 5 is not functioning correctly.
Fuzzy clock watch-faces, first of such kind for the Sony SmartWatch2!
The watchfaces are actually clocks (not widgets!) and thus work even when the Bluetooth connection is lost. Also, the clocks don't occupy the full screen of your watch, so you can place other widgets on it as well!
Here's a link to the app

And below are two of the watch-faces. Hope you like them!

They cost money because they require time, skills and effort to make. If you do them (and I mean all of them, as you say) for free, I guess you'll find many people would be grateful for that.
Until then, the symbolic .99 USD price is a cool enough way to say "thank you" and keep me motivated.
I agree

First off, thank you for your time and effort creating this app for the SW2. I downloaded your app already. With all these new apps taking advantage of the new firmware and manu0466 hack to allow overlapping you guys are doing a great job making this watch what we wanted in the first place.
What I wanted to ask you is if you can add new widgets with smaller size; It looks like the second font is very similar to the default one used by Sony and it is very legible is smaller sizes. Thanks again!
