Freelance Android application development - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Hi folks,
I am interested in starting freelance android application development. I have a year of experience in developing android applications and background services. It was only recently that i decided, I needed to make some money using this skill, but unfortunately I'm from India and hence i cant publish paid apps to the market. Also, you guys are the best source of ideas for apps. So start demanding your ideas here and i could get down to realizing the best ones. I don't plan to charge for the applications, but donations would be welcome. Of course, that would come into the picture only once i have the apps ready for you.
Looking forward to your demands.
Regards,
manrock

Dude, that's a great. With self initiative you have entered our threads. We welcome every developer who can make our phone a complete candy
Yes we lack many features like two way call recording (now available only in chinese version), gtalk with wifi as optional (i mean even under gprs), full HD (1080p) video playback & many other formats, face detection while unlock, graphic support & performance, speed & so on....
If really interested why don't u start off with some custom ROM based on any recent version & kepp adding new good features (not some themes & colourful stuffs).
By sure donations will follow if proved.

I have PM ed the link for systemUI.apk of MIUI

Can you make a theme changer app?

Hi manrock,
there is an app on the market, which allows you to pick up calls by shaking (old stuff, rather boring) or by just holding the phone to your ear (using proximity sensor, awesome stuff - it's magic! ). Sadly, it doesn't work correctly, and picks up your call even when the phone is in your pocket. So my idea would be to program a similar app, which does it right: Picking up calls just by holding the phone to your ear. Very useful when wearing gloves or with dirty hands
I already have an idea to fix the problem: If the sensor reports "dark" when a call comes in, the app should not pick up, but wait for the sensor to report "light" for a second or two and then take the call when it is "dark" again. Meaning you could take the phone out of your pocket, and it would take the call when you hold it to your ear.
By the way: The app which does it wrong is called ShakeCall.

I would like to see nothing just video gtalk or any front facing camera video chat app (please don't suggest tango or fring they all SUCKS!!!!! ) But it needs drivers level knowledge . You can find video gtalk for sgs in app section and try to port it to our phone.

buddy if it that simple then why codeworkx is fighting so much with it...its related to camera drivers...!

What i'm upto
I have experience in android application development. User space, and not kernel/native level
programming.
Please do not ask me to join codeworkx in his attempt to grace our devices with cm7. He's pissed off as it is.
I have currently decided to work on vivek's idea, to mod our systemUI as per the MIUI notifications and toggle design. That too, is a new area for me,as i have experience in developing new apps instead of modding existing android framework components. Still i'm willing to give a try.
After that i will probably look at the call auto answer based on proximity sensor, accelerometer & brightness sensor.
P.S - Keep those ideas flowing

Is that all the ideas that we could come up with ? We need to keep this thread alive for us to benefit from it. Please dont stop sharing ideas here. Calling other devs too, if you have enough time, i'd love some help.
P.S - I will release a beta version of the CallMagic application in a couple of days. Hope you guys find it useful.

Can you make ICS like progress bar
In our phone the progress bar is based on color settings in progress_horizontal.xml in framework-res.apk but in some other roms there is special images in framework-res.apk for the progressbar
Can you make that framework file
Thanks

[APP] Vibration Notifier

Maybe you know this situation: Your phones lays on your desk, you're in the kitchen and you get called. You do not hear your ring and when you come back to your desk, you don't notice that you were called because your device has no notification LED (and you're not using NoLED)...
Therefore I made another small app, called "Vibration Notifier" (name is not final) which does the following:
When you have a missed call or an unread SMS, the app keeps vibrating every X minutes for Y times or until you turn on the display of your device.​
It supports missed calls, SMS, GMail and any other app which puts a notification in the status bar once a new event occurs (like WhatsApp, Google Voice, etc.)
I think the attached screenshot describe the intention of the app pretty good
App is now available throught the Android Market: Vibration Notifier
Current beta release: ---

Like vibrating every X minutes won't drain the battery? That's no excuse, make it work!
Nice idea for an app though, keep up the good work.
thanks
i also might have found a way to get some gmail notifications. i'm not yet sure if i have broken something now because i had to change some stuff, but it seems to work so far
This is a great idea for an app. I'll install it once it's in the market!
Also to people talking about battery use, vibrating uses hardly any battery at all. It is not going to be noticeable.
I have a tasker task that does something somewhat simmilar... when my battery level drops below 15%, my phone starts vibrating once every minute. It's a subtle "charge me!!!" hint.
I think this is a great idea even for the people that have LEDs like me. However, I don't think the limitation to calls, sms and gmail is a good idea. You should find a way of making all the notifications vibrate every x minutes or adding a lot more to your app. For example Whatsapp (I installed your app today but noticed it was only for certain notifications so uninstalled it ) and let's say Twitter, Facebook... all this stuff.
Looking forward to a more complete version of this!!

Nice one the thing I miss most on my Samsung is the notification light from most my previous phones. Will give this a go.

can I set it to (only) notify me for specific contact(s)?
Great idea!
Would be great if more notifications are available... (KakaoTalk?) Also, would be nice if there is a quiet hours option.

sounds like a good idea to me, but i wont install it as long as there are no "silent hours" to set in the settings or an option to enable/disable this using tasker as i dont want to have my phone vibrating on my nightdesk when sleeping ;-)
so see this as a feature request...
just uploaded a new version to the first post, can the SGS2 user test this version? thanks
i've put a "silent hour" option on the todo list

My Samsung Galaxy S2 vibrates fine now =) but if I set it to 2 minutes, it takes four minutes pause between the vibrations
The is one of the best app ever ! THX !
Works great on my Atrix! Thanks! I have the LED but find the app useful in case my phone is in my pocket and I dont hear/feel it the first time.
Great app, but 1 minute set is just under 3 minutes realtime. I seen you uploaded a new version, I got the previous one. It's running on a motorola Defy with 2.2.
Your notification toggles app is a winner too!
Great app,great work...

Change Shoulder Buttons

SOURCE CODE ATTACHED
This is the official thread for the "Change Shoulder Buttons" app.
Compatibility:
At this point it looks like the app fully works for some devices, partially works for others, and not at all for some. Different ROMS may also affect functionality.
I am currently working on a "configuration" option which will allow users to calibrate the app for their specific device.
Update
This app has been updated.
No more restart required.
2.3
1. App is now free!
This app is now free!
Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Change_Shoulder_Buttons
Description:
This app will allow you to use the shoulder buttons (L and R) of the Xperia Play for different functions.
You can use them to:
None: Stops the service. Shoulder buttons will stay at default.
Media: L will be previous and R will be next for media.
Camera: R will be focus and take picture.
Volume: L will be volume up and R will be volume down.
Up/Down: L will be up and R will be down.
Navigate: L will be browser back and R will be browser forward.
Advanced:
Tasker Support! (Kinda)
To change button modes do the following:
Action -> Misc -> Action Intent
Action: "com.hatcyl.android.Change_Shoulder_Buttons.ACTION_CHANGE_MODE"
Extra: "Mode:XXXXX"
See screenshot, no quotes, case sensitive.
Note: The game function of the buttons never get disabled. This app just listens for those buttons and then executes a command.
Coming Soon:
1. Custom Mode
2. Support for more Xperia Play devices / ROMS.
3. Real Tasker Support Way Later
4. Some automation maybe
Please post all questions, comments, bugs, and requests in this thread.
Thank You!
How about assigning the keys for volume control? In book reading Apps, L and R are much more convenient than the volume buttons when I have to flip the page.
A widget for quick mode switching could be nice as well.
Sure I can add that. But remember, a restart is still required.
Widget, probably not ... or maybe later ... im not so good with them.

Nice app...but when I set the shoulder buttons for media it keeps skipping and rewinding music when I'm playing a game... Lol.

You mean because you press L and R right?
Once I figure out how to change the buttons without a restart then we could use something like Tasker to change them based on different conditions. Camera if CAMERA is open, Music only if music app is opened, Game otherwise. Or maybe just manually change them faster.

Yeah it's when I press the L and R.
Oh ok...I'm not too familiar with changing stuff on my Play yet so I'm still learning as I go but great app nonetheless.

*Note: Yes there is a free app (which may not be working right now?) and yes, we all know how to do this mod (Simple file change) and yes, I made this app in a few hours and yes, it can use some more work but, this is like a fund raiser for XDA members. Please don't ask "Why is this not free?"

This seems like a paid version for an app that is already free.
https://market.android.com/details?id=seb.button.changer
Same functions, same results.
Yep, there's already a free app by an XDA member.
any way to achive this without restart? Would it work if you assign each button to a separate app (similary to assigning to camera currently I assume and probably restart first time only). The app you assign simply check what is required in an extra config file which can be changed on the fly without need to restart. Is this possible at all or is there a particular limitation how android works with those buttons? Thanks in advance

Yup, I actually posted that in the OP.
It hasn't been working for some people including me, maybe different models are different.
Anyways, if this app sells at all that developer will be first in the donate list along with the guy who found a way to use the official PSX emulator with custom images.

This is coming soon, it was in the market description but I posted it in the OP.
About your idea, it wouldn't work for two reasons.
1. You can't assign a button to an app (that I know of)
2. You wouldn't want to open an app every time you hit a button (especially when playing a game) it would be too slow.
I am exploring two ideas to get this working.
1. Find what causes those files to be loaded. Find away to restart that and force it to load the files again.
2. A much harder way, but this one will work for sure (I've got a proof of concept but no time yet.)
Thank you for explaining. I look forward to the no reboot version. Page up and down option would be great. Many thanks in advance

Can you add functionality to the default web browser? Like make L be the back button and R be the Forward button?
I really liked that function on my PSP browser (years ago when I used it every so often).
Also, add the functionality to the default Launcher? L for next left screen, R for next right screen. I'm not sure if either of these is even possible, but just throwing some ideas at you!
I'd be down to purchase it if you added either one. Thanks!

Take that even further, how about a completely Xperia-Play optimized launcher? ADW is open source if not mistaken.

I'd settle for the web browser L and R function
I will settle for pgdown pgup or even dpadup and down for shoulder buttons as long as they don't overwrite their function implemented already in games, emulators and camera mod apps. There is another post regarding shoulder buttons for ereaders - i'm away from my pc so cannot link - but it recommends another app there too.

Sorry, the files are different in 2.3.2 vs 2.3.3.
I will disable the app for now. I deserve that 1 star rating for that.
Anyways, download the attached file, extract the file inside and copy it (using any file manager, I use EStrong) to /system/usr/keylayout override any existing file.
Reboot afterwards, this should fix your issue.
Again sorry, I'm bringing the app down for now. I'll almost done with a big update that will not require restarts anyways.
It's alright dude! I fixed it myself, just restored from my backup. Thought you outa know though! Look forward to the no reboot version!!
(p.s. Yours is the only button change app that actually worked...apart from the obvious issue ...so thanks!!)
For anyone who was waiting. App has been updated.
No restart required anymore.
More modes coming soon.

This app pretty much uses the same approach I am going to use to translate buttons presses into touchscreen presses.

CM7.1 Bug List/Feature requests (G-FIT CyanogenMod Devs please read)

Hey XDA developers.
We have many talented developers here at XDA (Unfortunately I am not one of them).
I think for the owners of the Galaxy fit, I can say for many of us, we were glad that a talented developer amongst a few was able to bring us CM7.1. So at this point I would like to say a big thanks to vishwanathptl for bringing us the CM7.1 ROM here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324190
and I would like to say thanks to squadzone for bringing us an OC kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333883
Most of the Bugs are fixed, but there still just a few to kill off.
So here we go.
Basically I would like this thread to serve as a Bug/Fix request list for the Developers we have here for CM7.1 or for those who wish to help us. Hopefully we can get these bugs solved . Also I think it would be good to allow for suggestions also.
Bug list:
1. Camera. When setting Volume buttons for the ''Zoom'' buttons, it does not work, neither does setting the power button as the ''Take picture'' button.
2. Apparently you cannot make international calls ? (Cannot verify)
3. Occasionally the market place app will crash with a message of ''The application market (processcom.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again''. Unfortunately this is very intermittent but I did not get this with any other ROMs, only this one.
................................................................................................................................................................
Additions/Suggestions:
1 Smart dialer
2 Fonts
3 Task manager
4 Slide to call/text
.................................................................................................................................................................
These current bugs are bug reports I have taken from the above threads.
If anyone has any Bug reports, please post in this thread and I will add them to this list.
I hope this will encourage the developers to help us have a truly complete CM7.1 ROM for our Galaxy fit phones. I have messaged some talented Devs to see if they can use there awesome talents to help us
Thanks guys ! I hope this helps all the great devs out there
Would be good if it has support for
1 Smart dialer
2 Fonts
3 task manager
4 slide to call/text

3 day and 1 sigle reboot by it self. maybe is nothing jeje just reporting
Hmm I have not notice my phone to randomly reboot. So far the only bugs I have noticed I have listed above. The camera being the main issue. Would be good if we could get the OC kernel integrated as well.

I like CM 7.1 but there are 2 reasons why I should remove it..
1. SIM Menu doesn't function (It says "Please try again later" when I select an option in the SIM)
2. Contacts doesn't detect; SIM is detected but the contacts from the SIM are gone, I need to backup my contacts from my previous ROM to transfer on CM 7.1; and also cannot add contacts on SIM, only GMAIL or PHONE MEMORY
Please if these are fixed I'll stick to CM 7.1 forever

The Little Programs To Make Our Phones Better Thread!

Hi folks,
I do a lot of research and check several forums and come across those little known about apps that just make life better with your phone so I figured I would start this thread to highlight them and bring them more into the limelight. This is my list below and these are the programs that follow me always when flashing new roms, we all know the big boys like Titanium Backup etc but they are not for this thread so lets leave them out and see if we can't create a better experience for all One S users and get the dev's we feel deserving of some extra recognition for the work they have put in making our phones even better. Please where possible provide links to any app you add to make life easier and I hope you all enjoy!
Side note ~ First thing I highly recommend software wise is TWRP recovery, anyone still using CWM recovery please change to TWRP now! CWM is very old and outdated and causes more problems than its worth. I suggest using v2.2.2.0 as never let me down. See attached at the bottom to download it.
My List -
1) Flash Image Gui - Say goodbye to fastbooting boot.img's on ANY hboot this wonderful little tool allows the flashaholic in all of us to flash not only kernels but also radio's from within a rom! Simply flash boot.img and reboot to recovery, wipe and flash rom and reboot. Nice simple and essential in my book. I would also encourage people to buy the license for $0.99 as dev is very active to help and sort problems.

2) Ultimate Rotation Control - The one and only rotation control app that can REALLY LOCK your screen in ANY orientation and also FORCE the automatic orientation to override app specific settings. This is a seven day trail before needing to pay but it is worth it for the per app settings!

Thread Link - Not really a thread link but very detailed summary http://xyo.net/android-app/ultimate-rotation-control-0PkKMbs/
3) Velis Auto Brightness - I love this app! I hate the auto brightness handled by system but with this app I have FULL control of my auto brightness settings AND it has a cracking little setup wizard to help. Oh and the profiles settings is quality allowing me to for example have a profile for normal dark conditions (screen on lowest) or if I'm watching a film I have a movie profile to turn screen up to full. Also features smoothing controls and dev is always open to suggestions.

4) Button LED - All I can say is YES! BLN (Back Light Notification) for the One S. Never miss another notification due to the completely rubbish LED we have, from emails to messages and most things in-between this will allow you to have the back lights on the soft keys light up and pulse on and off when a new notification arrives and you get to set the blink pattern! Also features flashlight notifications too!
Market Link - Not in Play Store yet.

5) Screen Off And Lock - Free version does exactly what it says on the tin, turns screen off and locks phone, a nice touch is the working ICS fix which some other third party apps suffer where screen goes off and straight back on.
Included a donate version because the screen off animations are fantastic and you can play screen on and off sounds to if you want. Saves our power buttons any extra bashing and works a treat. It also makes my iturd loving friend jealous!

Thank you for starting this thread
And yes, Flash GUI is a life saver :highfive:
Guess I try Ultimate Rotation Control and Button LED because the led does suck.
Button LED is a ripass. Missed that from my old HTC Hero.
I always use the Power Toggles. Find it handy on stock rom.

Some older flashables don't have the updated updater script so fail with 2.3.1.0, everything I've thrown at 2.2.2.0 just flashes no problem hence my version suggestion.
CAPATITIVE BUTTON BRIGHTNESS
from HTC one x forum, works with the one s too.
You can enable or disable the button brightness. One s is not officially supported yet, but when it is, the app can dim the button brightness too.

Fantastic find thanks will be so useful for me when I'm watching a film at night on it being able to finally kill those softkey lights or playing games in low light, I always find them distracting
I would use this kind of lockscreen...I think full ring is more simple to touch
Do you know which is???

I've just ordered mine off ebay and if Titanium can't handle that mention to dev he is very responsive to feature requests. You can set where to back up too so hoping its nice and easy and shouldn't be too big of a problem to code if it doesn't work.

Em never tried Titanium Backup like that but can always move it over after.
"Kernel Tuner" for one to add, in case some people are unaware of the app. Even if you don't have custom kernel, also under misc tweaks, there is now an option added to the latest version on play store to use a regular cable for OTG. works awesome, have used it personally, but you will still need a USB hub of some sort to go from male to female.
And +1 for "usb otg helper.
One S | ICS Blue XDA Premium | MIUI Sense | Bricked Beastmode
great idea for a thread!
i personally use Screen On and Off, works nicely.
agree about Kernel Tuner, very nice app I wasn't aware of until a few months ago....

Anyone have any feedback about app?

Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would love to resolve the force close issue, Can you tell me if you are rooted or not?
Anyone else getting force close while using color picker?

Edit: the n7 is not rooted and its running 4.4.2(r1)
@opssemnik. Thanks for providing me the log, its working fine on my nexus 4 but I tried to resolve it. Can you please test this apk if it works?https://www.dropbox.com/s/cclcapg8qigh9y8/S Tools+_1.6new-signed.apk

lastest version works perfectly. thanks!
I can't understand why you get so little feedback for your app!? It works like a charm on my Nexus 5 and it has a great design. Thanks!
Looks interesting!
Works like a charm
I used the apk provided (version 1.6). All tools provided work well on my N4 :good: . Non rooted and running vanilla android. Particularly I love the compass. So simple and functional. No issues with the color picker too. Those having issues with the color picker can try using the apk provided in one of the previous threads in this conv. Also, try restarting your device once. Restarts work like a charm in resolving most issues.
This app help fix SIII Gyroscope accuracy or just let me see the sensors?Please can you add calibrate or i need to send my SIII to repair?
Hi,
Just bought the Pro version as I am impressed with your work
Do you plan to add multi-core infos (activities, frequencies,...) ?
Is there a way to record all the infos ? Live or in background ?
It can be interresting to record infos (bearing, GPS, Gyroscope) in, for exemple, CVS format.
A possible use would be recording a car race and get stats by lap
It could be usefull too to record frequencies of CPUs.
I tested all functions and all work flawlessly on my Xperia Z (see details in my signature).
Just noticed it is possible to stop sampling by touching the screen but cannot resume sampling the same way...
BTW : if you need translation in French, feel free to send a list
BTW (bis) : Congrats, you made it to XDA Portal !!!
I am working on a recording feature but it will take some time as my main priority currently is for fixing bugs on some devices and optimizing for tablets.
Also stop sampling is a way to review the sensor values on tap however it is impossible to resume the values from there tapping again to resume will reset the graph to initial values so that why I didn't integrate it.
Thanks for your feedback.
Great app! It will replace my 2-3 app I am used too.
Could it be possible to add a black font option (amoled-battery-use-wise)?
Thanks
very cool
I just started using this, very nice. It works on my galaxy tab 3 7.0 with Goodness ROM but not on my HTC ONE running ViperOne. The HTC is where I really want to use it but it uses a custom kernel. I will send them a message about it but I dont know how much they will do, they are some busy people working on a great ROM. Nice app for anyone who never has enough information about their device!

Maybe people dont know about it. I just happened to read the article on XDA which I almost never do. Also a lot of people are using custom kernels. If they get the message about contacting rom developer they may not go any further. I am not sure what needs to done by the developer to get this app to work with their custom kernals but it would be cool. Im sure they get tons of requests.
Maybe something else could be causing the issue on HTC one with custom kernel?
There shouldnt be a issue with app not working with custom kernels.
Anyone else can confirm if they are able to use to use the app with custom kernels?
App works great on custom rom and kernel. Also using xprivacy and we'll obviously app needs access to sensors but no problem or fcs. Haven't used color picker yet (kinda not sure what it's for but I'll just play around I just downloaded it) great work!
