Is it an act? Maybe I really proposed to her....maybe I really met her and filmed this so that If she said yes, I would have it on camera

Awesome video dude! I don't know of many Android developers willing to go as far as make a video....Well done and hilariously awkward!

TMZBEME,
I took the stock Android camera, so this app has the exact same permissions. GPS is because the stock camera allows you to geotag photos, record audio is a remnant from the video recording, which I could do away with.

hunterp,
That is and awesome and very creative video! Kudos to you for a great sense of humor and a way to introduce your app. I will certainly keep your app in mind (how could I not? ). Very nicely done.
Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the encouragement!!
Have you seen Android's new official app webpages? You can actually click the install button on the webpage (on any computer!!!) and the app downloads on your phone....amazing....
I have two versions of Big Camera Button which you can obtain using the new web buttons at:
http://www.bigcamerabutton.com/
Thanks!!

I removed the logo from all versions of the free app. Now the free app is really usefull

Woo what an innovative app. Lets make a big button and charge $0.99 for it lol.

Well, it was a response to my first app which is quite innovative. Its called Shout n' Snap http://shoutnsnap.com the thing is, its socially awkward sometimes to yell at your phone. Therefore, the natural step is to make a silent version.

[Q] AddressBook Apps?

do you guys know of an app for your contacts that is simplistic? i'm not a fan of the photo thing next to each of my contacts and im pretty sure, it makes the phone lag a bit when scrolling through the list. I'd also like a contact widget, like the one that came with the phone, minus the photos...
-thanks

lag? srsly?
perhaps you want a flip phone?
but for real, i can't think of any replacment app that removes those features, those are pretty much big selling points for this type of OS and phone.
what phone are you coming from?

In cm7 there is an option to turn off contact pictures in your contact list. I'm pretty sure cm7 uses the stock gb phone/contacts app.
Don't know what to tell you about the widget except I use the starred contacts folder for quick access to my favorite people. You can add it like a widget.

there is a slight delay when i pull up my contacts because it has to load the photos. it isnt anything severe, but when it comes to calling folks, i really dont need to see their photo. that's just my opinion. secondly, i had a nokia e71x before this phone, and i really liked how simple the address book was on that phone. just a name, and an option to text or call. HAHA

[Q] Tlert and Intelliscreen for Android

From the forums it seems like the infuse's timing was right to grab a lot of former 3GS owners like myself. I'm wondering if anyone else has found or knows of a good replacement for tlert and intelliscreen. I've asked on a few threads but haven't gotten any responses. Right now I'm using executive assistant which I've seen suggested elsewhere, but it doesn't mark emails and texts as read after you look at them which is annoying. I'm currently using Handcent for texts, but the pop up is huge and annoying. Tlert was great because texts were so unobtrusive on the screen. Texts wouldn't get in my way on a the 3.5" screen, but they take it over on the 4.5" screen, just doesn't seem right.

bump. I'm getting used to the lock screen but the lack of quick text is killing me. Anyone want to develop an app?

As someone who long used iOS as well I found tlert missing as well. I found that ChompSMS does a great job of making texting more like the iPhone experience. It also does in app and lockscreen quick reply. As for intelliscreen no real advice for you. Hope that helps.

Use widgetlocker for intelliscreen-like experience. Lets you put any of your home screen widgets on your lockscreen (i.e. Calendar, contacts, etc.). Handcent or chompSMS for the texting stuff.

Oh you mean GO SMS PRO?
Don't ever use that term LACK with regards to customization on Andriod, I am an iPhone lover for a.long time, but now I see the light lol, don't get me wrong Steve did a great job on his devices, but gets boring in just 1month of having it, in Android all you got to do is make a new customization every month it's like having a new phone again
Enjoy
NOT TO MENTION APPS HERE HAVE NO BOUNDERY, no rejection unless your app has some kind of stealing identity.

For quick text try SMS pop up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

All these sms apps have very similar text pop ups. What I miss about tlert is that they would pop up but I literally could keep reading what I was or whatever because they wouldn't be in the way. These popups take up the whole screen. I'd rather just have a notification I can look at when I want to (if I can't have an unobtrusive pop up)

I have Stumbled upon this post also looking for a Tlert like app.... It is an amazing texting app... (for a jailbroken iPhone)
All the apps that I have seen on the android market place are bulky and not as streamline as Tlert is
Also sent a message to the dev to see if he is going to be making it for android

Nice time, use a site like http://bitly.com/ so they don't see it coming. I've ran into a few of those... Saw it coming... :/

Twicca is barebones, and customizable. Runs really smooth. Allows you to only install the add-ons you actually use.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

I use http://goo.gl/d4gHQ

i've tried a few, but to me, tweetcaster is by far the best and easiest to use. Tons of features.

Tweetdark is pretty nice. Simple nice UI and works well.

I use the official app. It's cleaner than everything else. Plume is pretty good also, but I had an issue where the text box wasn't visible when my keyboard and predictive words popped up. The official app appropriately shifts everything up, so nothing disappears.

I use Plume but I like inline previews pics and Twitlonger

tweetdeck is better for me, it just keep it simple and has twitlonger and more

Can't figure out for the life of me how to view replies to a tweet in Twicca, does it not have this function? You can see what I mean by going to Twitter.com on a desktop PC and clicking any tweet, a nested area opens up showing replies.

Tweetcaster is my favorite because I can customize it.

Facebook Home Discussion

Quick recap of today's event. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Liveblog-Facebooks-new-Home-on-Android-announcement_id41518
Anyone else going to try it out? Opinions?

Ooh yes, i really like it! I hope it will be extended to other phones because i havent'got one of those. I think it's a perfect launcher for those that use a lot facebook
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app

Just don't trust em anymore - Let's see..
I lost trust with Facebook after all the issues they have had with privacy. Also when adding the Facebook Android app about a year ago to my Android phone it basically merged all the pictures and put them in my contact list, sounds fun but it was actually a pain.
Think I'll wait for the reports to come rolling in in this thread before I try it.

Useless waste of resources... So no.

Using it right now, takes a little bit of time to get used to. But if you use Facebook allot then i say get. The chat heads are pretty useful.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

The best part is chat heads and you can use this without installing Facebook home,just update the FB and FB messanger app and allow chat heads I. Settings ,works great and includes sms
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I started using it day 1 and I think it has potential. It allows me to do what I usually do on my phone, but right from the launcher. I didn't really use widget, but it doesn't prevent you from using the regular launcher. I love the Chat Heads, as it helps with texting and keeping track of who you are talking to. Once you are done, just drag their Head down to close the chat window. I like it cause it reminds me to check if I replied to anyone. Some things I don't like is that there is no way to manage your contacts, save contacts, or anything you can normally do on any SMS app. You have to go to the People or SMS app to do that. I think some stuff will be added/fixed over time. Overall, a pretty good experience once you learn how to use it. Took me 30 minutes to find out my apps were a swipe to the right away. Big learning curve.

Here is the app for those with non compatible devices. Good luck.

Not everyone is running high performance apps. As one coworker said, it is iOS for Android in a way. No widgets, just put the apps you will use on the main app window. Everything else is still there, just centered around updates. For most non-power users, it will be fine.
Hey, it is not for everyone. I'm running Mastamoon's CM10.1 unofficial S3, and it runs well for me. Don't like it, just uninstall it.

How to use facebook Home If it is not Supported in my country.
In India

Got it on my htc g2/vision/desire z
I made that my facebook phone, and had before this thread only the fb app installed, got around 5-7days with stock battery and constant w-lan connection
Since fb home I am down to 3d without constant w-lan connection (off over night)
So, although it is very nice and I personally think that this is no lockscreen anymore in a sense of LOCKscreen, so you can go right ahead, it kinda drains very much :/
Will leave it this and maybe next week, but then I'll see how it works out
Also, needing quite much of the little RAM I got there :/
