[ROM] Android4Autism v1 Ready for download - Epic 4G Android Development

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!

Lol look again ......

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.
Zach

Way to be on top of it iSaint!

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.

A great app for children is Zoodles or kid mode. Check it out. Endless games and videos for kids.

my greatest recent autism awareness came from watching the movie Triangle
this movie defines lost and tired and deals with autism and sacrifices for the child directly

PS: And mods plz don't delete this for being in the Dev section I believe it is about Devs and I would like you to be part of this rom as well ^^
Hoping to start 4th of july so getting everyone ready to put stuff in or ready for it to start ^^
0o ill list down every single person no matter how big this gets up till july 4th and after july 4th and even testing is fine ^^
If it works or not at least we would had tried and at least even if we do fail we have gained knowledge, experience and had fun
A POLL WILL BE MADE TOMORROW SO THE COMMUNITY CAN CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT ^^ AND ANY OTHER NEW ADDED STUFF THERE WILL BE A LIST TO ADD TO ^^

I can't help..but I'll test anything that pops off
Please. We've been down this road before. When the glory and satisfaction of solo or small team ROMs isn't in play, development suffers. We need creative individuals pushing the limits to advance the scene, and unless they have their name on the ROM, things will slow down. This goes for life (free enterprise vs. socialism) and ROM dev.
Also, keep in mind, all the ROMs are community! There are thousands of man-hours of work already in every aspect of Android. The ROMs we see build on all that. This is a solution in search of a problem.

lol I have created over 7 successful roms some in a small team others in a big team lol and it worked out xD and I would disagree check I left a bit ago about a month if that lol and no everyone should get a chance not just one person thats just selfish also I think if one big rom is made we can keep some G1/MT3G users for longer lol we need something new and exciting can't you see that ^^ well whatever you say I will try and continue this IDK if it will work or not THE THING IS EVERYONE WOULD HAVE FUN TRYING ^^
If you are serious about this, I think it's a dumb idea. The best thing about having a rooted Android phone is that you can choose whatever ROM suits you.
Personally, I want a fast Donut ROM. I don't care for all the extra bells and whistles in SuperD/CM4/etc and I don't have any interest in running an Eclair ROM as I don't think they perform well enough on our phones. Given the popularity of OpenEclair/SuperE/CM5, there are obviously other people who feel differently and I expect a vast number of people here wouldn't switch back to Donut if you paid them.
There will never be "The Ultimate ROM" because everyone's needs and wants are different. Just let devs make what they will and let users choose what they want.
i have very little experience in the overall creation of the rom, however i am very willing to learn more and would jump at the opportunity to be of any help, if someone was willing to show me a little bit of how this all works i am positive i can be of great help.
To me I could care less about credit.... I rather help where I can then be selfish... Knowledge isn't a competition, it is a struggle as a group I would love to learn what I don't and Help others where I can Ego is the one thing that could destroy this project ...
SpeedTeam is there whenever you need us....Right K =)

I swear, when I read this, it sounded like you died from lack of oxygen at the end. Please, for the sake of readers, could you use punctuation? Throw a few commas and periods in there.
As for the idea, I would flash a beta version or two, but I can't see this working out as well as some might hope. There will always be disagreements. Some people want 2.1, others, 1.6. Some like SenseUI, and others don't. Words like "perfect" and "ultimate" are very subjective to whoever reads them.
Good idea, probably very hard to execute. Good luck.

PadKite™ : The first multitouch mobile mouse.

Hi xda-developers,
We are about to launch PadKite in the Android market and we are currently collecting feedback from real users. Beta version now available for download at padkite web-page. As a new user we are not allowed to post links, please let us know your feedback on the application. You can also subscribe to our Beta Program. We are eager to hear your opinion.
PadKite is also an excellent app for tablets so we are also looking for people to test it on their tablets. Whether your multitouch device is a phone or tablet. Your feedback is very important to us. For any questions, please reply to this post or contact us at PadKite Contact us.
More about PadKite™: PadKite™ is the first multi-touch mobile mouse created to manage the tiny content on our cellphone screens. Never fumble or miss a target again. Breeze through favorite websites in a flash with customizable multitouch gestures. Post media and text to Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, all at the swoop of a fingertip.
Wow! This looks like an awesome tool!
There's only Éclair and Froyo versions available though, I'm running custom Gingerbread on my N1.
I tried running the Froyo version on my N1 anyway, but it Force Closes as soon as trying to open the app.
Any ETA on a Gingerbread version? I'm quite eager to try your product!
They said a GB compatible copy will be along soon.
I really wanted to try it but it force closes on me.
Always wanted to tryout multi-touch...
nice stealth edit trololol...
Sounds interesting, I'll check it out.

They included the complete libwebcore.so in there effectively including a complete web browser in their so called mouse driver. What up with that?
Just sitting and clapping my hands :]
looks wonderfulll .. Did anyone try it already ? does it seem safe and real?
btw: So I've understood that it is a browser like dolphin and others. .. does it include Flash? (btw does it have hebrew as other browsers?)
Hi xda-developers,
Hope you are enjoying flying the web with PadKite, the first multitouch mobile mouse.
Yes, it is a web browser. It includes extended Webkit libraries that makes it heavier. Hopefully these will be able to be submitted into the WebKit build on the near future. The application does not include Flash for the moment and does not run on top of the OS or other applications. As a new concept we are starting small running as a stand alone browser aiming to grow bigger. We are braking the mold on multi-touch interaction and that has to be gradually. As you might have notized it has a lot of potential.
Currently we are making adjustments in order to run in all versions. This requires a lot of effort however it will allow PadKite to run in almost all devices. If you want to run on a Gingerbread version, let us know via our contact form and it will be delivered shortly.
Some users have experienced problems with Android versions of FRG83D and FRG83. We are currently looking into this and we will come up with a solution shortly. If you have problems, running PadKite on your Froyo, please contact us via our contact form too or join our beta program. We need as much information as possible from our users (especially your Logcat). Also, take part in our beta program and you will be the first to get updated on new versions.
Please follow PadKite on Twitter and get up-to-date info on new builds at padkite account.
Thanks for helping us make PadKite even better!
Cheers,
Jose Vigil
RoamTouch CEO
looks great, I'm looking forward to trying it when its available for Gingerbread.. also it would be great to get the adobe flash integration working.. But looks like a great concept, original and useful.
Bumping this, as it is a clear winner as a productivity tool, but so few people seem to have heard about it. I'm a huge fan, and that's based on only having seen the videos, as well as it partially working on a mate's Xperia X8 (the X8 lacks multi-touch, so is unable to take advantage of some of the more powerful features, such as text-selection via second finger-rotation, although as a pointer it works perfectly)!
Hoping they get back to me soon with an offer into the Beta program, as I'm dying to get this app! Also hoping they take it further, and fast, so that it becomes an integral Android feature, rather than just a browser tool.
This is a game-changer, people, so get on board and bring your family and friends!

Don't hold your breath on this one buddy. I gave up. I recieved 6 APK's from the dev...not one of the worked. FC every time. I was working on it with him for quite a time, and it never worked. Seems to only work on one or two phones.
Won't be holding my breath, but certainly won't be abandoning hope! If those who have been able to get it working could post details of which model phones they have, as well as the models that haven't worked, plus current Android version, the devs might be able to narrow the issue down. Not sure if I'm able to start a new thread, being a noob and all, so if people could list the following in this thread it would go a long way towards getting us what we want:
Phone model
Android version (stock or rooted)
Whether it worked or not, and if not, at what stage it crashed, plus any further comments.

Send the dev any info you like...it didn't help. I was in contact with him for a few weeks. I don't 'abandon hope' unless it's time to abandon it. After emailing back and forth for a few weeks, then not hearing back from the dev for the last 3 months, I would say it's abandonment time.

Crappy app, perhaps, but only in terms of its failing to work for most who've tried it thus far. The idea itself is a brilliant one, I believe!

95% of brilliance is implementation.
I can think of a bazillion good app ideas...but making them actually work is where the real skill is. I am upset with padkite because they seem to have spent all this time on making a website and sharing the idea...then they spent 2 minutes actually BUILDING the app...and it's garbage.
This looks fantastic. I downloaded and try to join beta program, to improve your software.
And 14mb is nothing, nowdays phones have 1gb or so of ROM space. Or move it to SD card.

Are you suggesting that they faked the videos of padKite working on the Motorola (Droid?) phone? Because unless they did indeed fake the videos, then they had the app working on at least one phone! Obviously more than 2 minutes were spent, and I'm guessing the problem to be overcome is actually a rather minor yet befuddling one.
As stated earlier, I've seen padKite partially working on a mate's Xperia X8, so we aren't talking vaporware, here. Please, Mean Mr Mustard, change your heart and let hope in, and encourage others to do the same, instead of working against what you've already acknowledged is something good enough to upset you by virtue of not working for you.
There must be some out there who've been able to get padKite at least partially working. Chime in, fellows, and let's make this fairy well again!

[REQ] Input for new video. Tell me what YOU want!

Greetings All!
With the onslaught of questions and concerns that have been directed at me, I have decided that there may be a few items that would need to be addressed in an additional video. I am looking for input from you, my viewers, as to what you would like me to cover.
I have already decided that I am going to go over the installation of khalpower's new v2 and I will step through the usability and features of it. I will also discuss the differences between the versions out there, and what patches are. I can discuss the differences between apps2sd, link2sd, and all of that stuff. I will also probably give me own opinions as to what everyone SHOULD be running, and what I deem to be the perfect setup.
I encourage you to speak up in this thread and tell me what you need from a new video. Obviously, YouTube restricts me to 15 minutes per video, so if I need to, I can always do more than one. I was originally going to make a new video tomorrow, but I decided that I would give the XDA community a chance to give me your thoughts first.
Try to be coherent, and if something has already been requested, request it anyway. The more requests for a specific subject, the more likely it will be covered.
With your input, and my mad editing skills, I hope to help as many of you as possible with this new series of video.
Let the requests begin!

Setup of apps2ext or link2sd
pleeease explain the setup for the khalpowers apps2sd, there have been so many versions and setups directions. The choices don't help either, this will hopefully make everything clear for us noobs! your 8 min tutorial and instructions helped me start out. So thanks again for all your hard work sometimes we forget how hard it is to figure things out the first time, now looking back, it seems to be a breeze.

Yeah, to this day, I'm still on stock 2.1 with App2SD. It's more of a MOTOROLA Y U LOCK BOOTLOADER issue for me.
Links2sd
your videos have been great.
A video walkthrough of how to activate links2sd would be superb. - conflicting information out there has me confused
....and like you said the differences between links2sd, apps2sd.. apps2ext etc... like which one is faster/ your recommendations
this may not be relevant or urgent but if it is...(if this still hasn't been fixed yet) sorting out the keyboard dictionary, my english version 2.1 one was brilliant but since 2.2 versions auto-correct has been hopeless
Much appreciated. your first videos helped a noob (me) improve his phone
Right now I'd like to see a clear tutorial for installing Khal's ROM (whatever version is current) and his honeycomb theme for that, since those are the things I'd like to do (though I may have already figured it out by the time you get the vid up) ).
EDIT:
Oh and if you could clear up if ROMs like Khal's can be installed over things like Mioze7ae's patch (currently running Dexter's 1.3 with Mioze7ae's patch .2) with no issue, that would be fantastic.
Thanks, it's great to have people like you on this forum.
How I do apply theme? I'm a bit confused. That video would be nice for beginners for me. Cheers!
Sent from my XT720 using XDA Premium App
I also vote for good apps2sd instructions!
side note: what is the best partition software for a mac?
would be nice to have good video explanation setup-Dexter-kal rom, patch, it's not always clear to everyone and everything .... thanks a video would be very appreciated.....sorry translation
Putting Things back as Was ..
REV -
I would like to see a video where we can back up a phone with all its content before say applying a new custom ROM. Then if the ROM doesnt work we can put the phone back to as it was. THis may then give a bit of security to people wishing to flash about etc knowing that they can put all back as was.
thanks

i just realised your previous videos on using gparted etc has enough information for those wanting to use link2sd on khals Rom. So all one would have to do is follow those directions- add a 'Link2sd' folder instead of an 'apps' folder and flash the Rom like in your dexter videos.
Tell me if i'm missing any key steps so i'l wait for your video!

It doesn't look like there are very many requests here.
I've just gotten back from holiday and will be creating new videos this week.
Stay tuned.
backing up using nandroid and how to reboot into nandroid when booting from a power off situation, such as a crash.
I just wanted to thank you, first of all. Your videos have been great for me since I am also a Cincinnati Bell customer. I loved my first smartphone (BB Curve) for the email and flexibility it gave me as a small business owner, but Cincy Bell was no longer offering a large screen BB and I was having trouble reading email and web on the small Curve screen, so I got the XT720. Once I realized the memory limitations of Eclair, I set out to find a way to get Froyo on my XT720 and your vids were perfect for me.

I will also probably give me own opinions as to what everyone SHOULD be running, and what I deem to be the perfect setup.

This is what I want to see, but if there is a way for you discuss the best setup for performance, battery saving, and a good mixture, I'm up for that too since it seems to be the one common downfall for just about every large screen smartphone owner.

Good to hear. I was actually going to try and figure out how to do it, but I prefer being lazy and watching your walkthroughs so I decided to wait (+it does have the added benefit of making my phone less likely to explode).
The steps to disable the default app2sd and the set up of the Link2sd.

Galaxy 7 Plus Devs.

This may seem like a redundant request but if you are or are GOING to be deving for this device could you post your Twitter or G+ id's here so we can follow your work?
That would be great.
+1 ...we fought for a forum...now no development...kinda disheartening.
I guess I need to get back with it now that I have kernel source...
You could follow me all you want, but you probably won't like where I'll lead. I usually don't bother with twitter, g+, facebook, or any other "social" site. (On the other hand, if you find any anti-social sites, please let me know.)
need to brainwash the tab8.9/10.1 developers to do the custom ROMs for us as well..
btw, what are we looking for in a new custom ROM?
EXT4, i think Samsung already moved to this...
Optimization
- Hardware Acceleration? Already ON by default in Honeycomb, I have done this mod and no difference at all.. it depends on the app to utilize this feature...
Theming ? Once rooted, you can modify the framework files.. should be quite easy, but abit time consuming... and requires creativity...
- Bloat removal? just ROOT and remove those excess fats..

My two yr old son plays fruit ninja and the calculator/calendar/etc opens. I bet a lot ofyou experience the same annoyance of the bottom bar mini apps not having the option to hide or lock on games and other apps on fullscren.
I'm not likely to be getting the device but I'm gonna stop by and help out to get things off the ground.
In terms of speed of development, keep in mind this thing "soft launched" in the US - I didn't even know until a few days ago that it was available at all. It's typical for a device to take a few weeks to get off the ground, the I777 was an unusual exception due to being 95%+ identical to the I9100 and being a majorly anticipated handset launch.
I'm going to start on something here soon, buy this will be my first developing for any device, so you prob won't want to follow anything I do, its gonna be slow and buggy

You can use "Honeybar" ROOT from the Android Market. It lets you hide the bar in Honeycomb.

I realize that you are trying to get all the Devs in one spot and thats a great idea in a new forum... however since nothing is being developed here (rom/kernel) Im going to have to move this to the General section.

If it gets big enough then I will. The Dev thread is for development, not asking questions or asking for people to raise their hand.

umm.. but they have to raise their hand in order for you to smell their armpits. How else will you know who is a dev and who isn't? (I think I might have just insulted myself... hrmm)
I just posted this over in the 10.1 community's General section, hopefully someone can help me get started!
Maybe someone here can hep me get the ball rolling as well?

Hi all,
I just got my hands on a galaxy tab 7.0 plus and was hoping to build a rom for its community (no one has really built a rom for 7.0, its a small community and we just got CWM).
Ideally I'd like to kang together a stock Honeycomb 3.2 rom, free of touchwiz. I was hoping to port over one of the Google I/O Roms for the 10.1. I figure our devices are close enough that I can try tossing over the build props, make sure to use the boot/recovery images from the 7.0 and maybe, just maybe, get lucky. Or at least have a good start.
The problem is that I can't seem to find any of the Google I/O roms, past 3.1. Do those device not get updates? Is there another Touchwiz free rom I can start from? I remembering reading a while back that TWUX is an optional update for the 10.1. I've been looking around, but I'm have a heck of a time finding links that clearly imply I'm dling a Touchwiz free rom. Most of the just say "Stock" which is a bit ambiguous.
If someone would be kind enough to point me to an ODIN and CWM mod version of the sorta rom I'm looking for I'd be greatly appreciative(and hopefully if I can get this out the door, so will 7.0 community)
Thanks!

[APP] (In-development) Sketch 'Em, a "how to draw" app for Android

This app has been released and is now available on the Samsung Apps Store & Google Play
Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but here goes.
I'm part of a team developing a niche app for the Note. It's a drawing tutor, that's supposed to teach users how to draw in different art styles. We're looking at anime/manga for initial release, with different "style packs" to be released in the future as downloadable content.
Here's a video of the app trailer (goes up to 1080p for full Galaxy Note screen, though cropped, resolution):
I'd just like to know, for the kind of people who might be interested by this kind of app, what kind of features might you like to see?
My team has a deadline to meet so we definitely cannot promise implementing every feature right away, but if the app does reasonably well, it's safe to say it'll get the long-term update treatment.
And yes, there is a very similar app out there called "How to Draw - Easy Art Lessons" in the Google Play store, but we hope to better execute the same idea.
I think it looks awesome !!! I Love drawing on the Note but Im really **** at it lol So having something like this would suit me down to the ground !!
Looking forward to it
Hey azzledazzle, thanks for that. I hope we can pull it off well.
KABAYAN
i will you all the success in this app. i too am a fan of drawing but drawing does not like me that much, i hope this app mends our differences, lol.
Haha, yeah that's half the reason I'm liking this project so much. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
I love drawing, drawing hates me! I hope this would help me though
Edit: Saw the video and it looks pretty neat. One feature I would like to request is.. I don't know how to put it but anyways.. I would like to select a image from the gallery, say a cute lil puppy, and be able to trace that picture on a blank sheet (or canvas??). So after I finish tracing, I could edit it a little, a few finishing touches here and there, and save it.

Thanks for bringing this app to our attention! I didn't know something like ours was already released, but I suppose it was inevitable.

So you mean to say that any device running Paranoid Android has no Samsung App store? That's a shame, because we were looking to submit our app there to join the Smart Apps Challenge.

As far as I know, any non-touchwiz ROM can't access the Samsung App Store. I tried installing the apk, tried the website. Nothing helped. I wonder if there's a workaround that I may not know of though.

I've tried a little bit of drawing with the note but not got very far.
Would be interested in an app to help me develop it further. Not seen video yet (no wifi atm) but will check later and let you know of anything I'd like to see implemented.
Would be happy to perform testing if you need anyone.

Hi guys, just letting you all know we've uploaded to the Samsung app store and it's currently undergoing review. Additionally, according to the Samsung Smart Apps Challenge rules as well as the general Samsung developer agreement, they don't require exclusivity for titles on their store. So we'll be uploading to Google Play afterwards, too.
Some tidbits about the current version:
Creator mode is done, in very rudimentary form. Users can make their own drawing tutorials in a step-by-step manner with up to 13 steps, upload the tutorial, and view/trace the tutorials of others in the community category.
Aside from anime characters, the app now has a dinosaurs category!

Thanks! May I know what you like to sketch? We need ideas for what other theme packs to work on next.

To be honest I just like sketching anything, Anything that helps become a better drawerer (is that a word ????)
I would like an option to sketch pictures I have taken with my camera ? Theres an app called 'Tracing Paper' what allows me to do this, But i would prefer to be able to do everything with just 1 app - Your app !!

Yeah, I could've worded that better. My apologies.
Some trivia about the app if you care to know: it started out as a kind of maze game where you control this glowing lump of lava lamp goo by using the S-Pen, and depending on the amount of pressure you apply, the goo would grow or shrink in size, making it more difficult to traverse the maze if you're heavy-handed with the pen. But the S-Pen SDK doesn't really have any functionality for animations so it looked really stale.

well Im glad you changed it because I flash Paranoid Android the other day and i doubt the app would have worked as the S-pen is now just a fancy stylus lol
