I have done the battery mod, stock lock screen, and Cognition (latest version, voodoo enabled) on my phone. Im getting bored now even though the phone has everything I need/ want. Are there any other cool things Im missing or dont know about? I would like to know all of the cool, well what you think is cool, mods that you have done to your phone.
Learn to make your own roms. That should keep you busy for a LONG time.

I actually have been thinking about making an app. Any ideas for a good app?
A Cifs.ko implementation for our Captivate. Don't worry, I keep mentioning it and no one seems to answer. . I'd do it myself but don't have a clue of where to start.

I've always wanted to make an app for "ambient noise." I wanted my phone to "poll" the noise level before ringing and making adjustments appropriately. I like to have my phone on full volume for when I'm driving and got the radio up or out in the loud shop, but not so loud when I'm in a quiet enviroment such as a meeting, bank, store, etc.....
I see some problems with the idea such as delay on the ring and what not.....but I always thought it was a good idea....
And yes, I know how to put my phone I silent or hit the volume button to turn it down before hand.....jeez....I just like automation!

I just fount the coolest feature. You touch the phone icon and push seven individual numbers. Then hit the green button that has a phone on it. If you wait a moment a "person" will start talking to you. It appears that AT&T has assign a different automated voices to each number combination. The voice recognition works very well because they seem to provide very logical responses. If you use the same number more than once the automated voice seems to become irritated and threatening. Some of the ones with "sexy voices" don't seem to work anymore. I think I used the number combination too many times. Maybe we should make a list of working codes?
Its actually a good idea. Seems do able i mean you have a microphone and they already have apps out there that will put your phone in a certain volume mode depending on appointments in your calendar. Theres gotta be a way. There are sensors that work for brightness so why not this? I haven't made an app before so it will be a huge undertaking for me but ill look into it and see whats possible. I love a challenge.
Really?

This is a joke or for real? If its for real then post one of the "individul number" combinations. Sounds interesting. If its a joke then its not funny and you might need to read a joke book or something to polish up on your skills.

This sounds like DLNA or am I wrong? I just googled cifs.ko and thats what it looks like to me. If it is DLNA then the AllShare app does a decent job of it.

I agree this was a great idea. I even pulled out my phone to see if Tasker had a variable for mic input. Though it does poll proximity sensor and light sensor, it does not check the mic through preset variables. I am curious enough though, that I think I will head to their website and see what manual input might get that result.

It is a sarcastic reference to our excessive expectations and lack of reverence in some of the more simplistic aspects of our miraculous devices. I sympathize with your original post and understand the need to constantly scour XDA for the latest release or mod. With that understanding I found humor in mocking "ourselves" with the most basic and intended function of our phones...TO BE A PHONE!
It is easy to misread humor. A forum does not allow for pitch change, facial expressions or sarcastic tone. It can be hard for some people to communicate efficiently and enjoyably when they are reading something outside of the intended interpretation. When you combine this with the varying levels of intellect, age and types of humor within this community you are bound to find those who cannot interpret or understand a bit of sarcasm. We are not all born with a "Bevis and Butthead" idea of humor, but I will do my best to include a fart joke for you in my next post . I hate to exclude anyone in my audience.
-"Everything in the world will be laughed at by one, but nothing will be laughed at by all." <--- I just made that up. I don't mind if you use it later. It's cool.
Before I go I want to prevent any confusion.
This post contained the following emotions in various degrees and locations:
Had a feeling!
I had a feeling it was a joke, and more often than not people will post ridiculous stuff about how the poster is an idiot because they did not search the forum and things of that matter.
Its hard not to get a little defensive when you feel like someone is making fun of you. Im glad that you put that part in there about sympathizing with me because I honestly look through tons of pages each day looking for the next best thing or project.
You are correct about how some of us tend to lose site of the fact that it also works as a phone so im glad that you pointed that out. After i found out it was a joke it did seem funny. I rarely use it to call people now days because I would rather text or send them an email. So yeah that is funny.
P.S. I am a pretty funny guy according to my mom <---haha and fart jokes are always appreciated.

I'm glad you got a smile out of it...finally!
On a more OP related note. I am beginning to feel like a sales rep for Tasker since I have mentioned it in 3 posts today BUT... it has allowed me to expand/experiment when not flashing. Here are some things I have done that may interest you or give ides for apps.
1. FaceDown - I have the phone automatically go to speaker phone and max volume when it is placed face down during a call. Got the idea from my buddy's Tilt2 (winmo).
2. QuietTime - Phone automatically switches to silent during weeknights from 10:30pm-5:30am and when I am in class based on my selected schedule.
3. CarDock - When headphone jack, usb power, and left side orientation are all enabled/plugged it triggers the following: BT ON (connects to car stereo), GPS ON, Volume Maxed, Car Home launched.
4. GoodHusband - Widget that automatically sends a "Thinking about you" or "I love you" message to the wife. It works nice and quietly without opening the messaging application. Unfortunately I have not figured out how to make it randomize through a list of messages. That would make it perfect.
5. PhoneFind - Specific text message sent to my phone will make it quietly reply with a current GPS location and battery level. (I'm a lucky owner with GPS)
I hope some of these are inspiring. I have enjoyed toying with them.

Are you talking about the key pad for entering the super master codes in? Thought it was some glitch from my last flash. Wow, glad to know I'm not the only one.
Hows the recognition software work for you when drinking alcoholic beverages? Will the 2.6 ota promised upgrade revert the root and make the speech synthesis less Irish-ish? Huh? FarmBoiGadget had the article but Ican't find it nor do I care to back my beliefs up.
So, debate it.......6 or a half dozen? You tell me.

Im actually messing with the Android SDK and Eclipse and all these other things I have no business messing with. Luckily there are tons of tutorials on line and hopefully I can learn something. Im starting from ground zero with this app making stuff. I dont know anything about coding or anything of the sort so it should be a fun process. Ill let you know if i get anywhere or if its even possible once I learn what the heck im doing. Could take a couple months and by then someone will probably make one. Ill keep messing around and let you know whats up or down.I have my music on shuffle, and im in a hotel room for work with nothing to do so...unfortunately today is my last day here.

Maybe you guys shouldn't respond if you don't know what the program is. TheftAware is a 3rd party app that survives a flash and even a simcard change. It's a program that takes the administrative rights of your device to ensure that you get it back. Since it communicates thru SMS, it provides the number of whatever sim is inserted by texting it to a series of preferred contacts provided by you. You can set off a car alarm, disable the device and much, much more.
Here's a couple links for anybody who doesn't know what it is or hasn't actually read anything about it
Here
&
Here
Theft Aware is a great app. Been having it since my MT4G. It's great because if you swap out some cards, hard reset the phone, etc, you can still track down the phone and try to recover it. It has a greater value for phones that are rooted. Sometimes, just for fun, I send a text to my phone "lock on" and it start to say super loud " this phone is stolen or lost" and won't turn off unless I text it "lock off".

Ah, I missed in the OP where it mentioned an application or setting. It was such an in depth post. Congrats on deciphering it
I've been using it, I love how it gives more options for Root users. I haven't been unfortunate enough to have to use it, but it really gives me piece of mind.
Apparently you can activate GPS in the background, you can even silently call the phone and listen in. Taking remote camera shots would be AWESOME too, but I don't think it can do that (yet).
Plus, the app is German, so you know it's good.

Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried Wifi Tether or similar apps with the new gingerbread stock Rom.
I didn't have much luck with Wifi Tether on froyo (had some issues), so I haven't used anything other than PdaNet, but I don't really like PdaNet because it's a little too much (like having to install application on a computer, etc).
If you know anything good, please let me know.
Thank you,
GT
Root your phone and install a custom gingerbread rom. You won't have to worry about wifi tether not working.
Off topic: this is like the third thread I've seen been created asking the same question. Is there something in the water?

No. That's a guy saying his default wifi tethering option is not working for his stock ROM. It is not the same thing.
My thread, if you read carefully, is meant to be where people can share different apps and experiences on gingerbread regarding various tethering options.
I am not a moron. I can read. I will not double-post or do noob stuff like that. I can imagine how many people here are annoyed by that occurrence, but let's not be so quick to jump to that conclusion?

Right, because just one person's word is absolute and everything, right? And, only market apps are our options, right? Not to mention, that comment posted by that person still doesn't change what that thread is about. In most forums, posting a different topic under a specific topic is considered hijacking. Furthermore, when you do a search, you can't possibly be expecting people to read every single post under every thread that shows up in search. Maybe that's how you do your search, which is both unrealistically impressive and unusual, but most of us do search in a normal way. We read the search results, which are often just the thread titles and a few posts.
If you are in this forum, you should know better than that. Before you make a post like this, you might wanna think a bit harder.

first quit it with the attitude. Nobody giving you attitude so drop it and you can google it but nobody found one yet maybe att made sure we can't with the ROM
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Ok guys wuusssaaa. Being rude will get you nowhere.
Now as for tethering there may be away around it but it going to be short lived as ATT finds more ways to tell if you are tethering and blocks it. I am one that if you want to tether then grab the plan to do it. We have already seen what happens when data is abused. We get teired and next we will be throttled.
So let's all just get along and chill.
It helps to not confuse wanting to use the hotspot feature and wanting to tether with a USB cable. The hot spot feature requires using a custom apn if you are not going to pay for it. Then AT&T can see all that data passing thru "wap.cingular", instead of "phone" like it should. When tethering using a USB cable, you can use the stock "phone" apn, so data useage properly shows on the account. In the past, with Froyo, I did test out PDA Net, and it worked great with the stock apn. Since I have no need to tether, I haven't used it since and I haven't tested it with Gingerbread.

I've read threads about those, but it seems that it only applies to people who "abuse" it as you stated. So, this isn't really a reason for all users to give up on other tethering options.
For example, in the past 2 years, I've only used tethering twice, both on occasions when I traveled to a place without wifi. It is not reasonable to pay that over-priced tethering plan for rare use of this feature.
I also doubt that AT&T will be able to catch all tethering use on all of their customers. Obvious cases with excess abuse make sense, but not rare and low use, like mine. I read somewhere that Verizon began policing tethering use on their customers on gingerbread, but even then some users reported they were able to get around it.

Thank you, fernandezhjr. That's an excellent point and helpful.
If that's what makes the difference, I wonder if it is possible to write an app that can create a wifi spot using the stock apn. It doesn't sound too difficult to do, but maybe I'm wrong.
I also wonder if tethering via bluetooth makes any difference too?

Well the TF can replace a book. It's a multi-use device and one of those uses is ::GASP:: an e-reader!
It's the modern equivalent of people reading a book on the toilet back when these didn't exist. I don't personally do it but there's nothing strange about it IMO, it's business as usual in this age of fancy electronics. I'm sure they took craps while reading papyrus books too.
Slightly off-topic, it has been said that those who read on the toilet are smarter than those who don't. I forgot where I read this, it may be junk science. It may just be that if you're willing to get your "read on" while crapping you're obviously more interested in reading than those who don't.
It has also been said that you can get some nasty hemorrhoids if the reading keeps you in there longer than you normally would.

All that dude does is go around posting pointless insults. And not in the "search first, noob" kind of way, but rather in the "I don't get enough attention and have to take out my lack of self esteem on internet forums" kind of way.
Best way to deal with people (and I use the term loosely) like that is to completely ignore them. Nothing pisses of someone trying to seem important or insulting than completely disregarding what they're saying. You can't reason with ignorance. But you can piss it off by ignoring it.

Lol, some people... good response OP.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Actually some of these "gimmicky" features, as some people refer to them, need highlighted. So, thanks OP--:0
And yes a few here take every opportunity to bash someone, they are on every Forum I have been on from day one. Just best not to respond. Playing Devil's advocate though, I do sometimes respond to those who want the step by step answer with no research on their own. Main reason I don't like that is that they are doing themselves a disservice by not learning the how and why things are done the way they are in flashing roms. It will come back to haunt them.
I actually use a number of these features and they work very well. Except :eye" scrolling. Hopefully that will be improved and hope app devs and Goolge allow more programs to use these features.
There are too many negative comments on these features here and in reviews along with the screen issue to cause people to hesitate buying this phone. So, these goodies need highlighted in these threads from time to time. It is absolutely a fantastic phone. Functional and Fun at the same time--
Best I have ever owned. Not that I didn't love my Nexus One and HTC One S, but technology just keeps producing better products. And 5 inch is perfect screen size for me.
I agree, good post. I have been trying to figure out how to use air view but it just won't work for me (tried it on the gallery). What other apps work with it?

I personally found this thread useful. I didn't know that airview worked with flipboard. Pretty cool!

Just noticed that Flipboard uses the Air View option, in the home screen you can hover all over the topics and it gives you a preview of the articles, for me it's very cool, nice to see Samsung's features available on Third Parties apps.

It will work on Flip Board and Stock Calendar. Do you have it selected in Options?
Can't recall what others atm
EDIT: Oh, works on speed dial--hover over number and contact comes up. don't have to memorize my speed dials now--
Also, by accident had it work on Music Player. If you hover over the lower Next and Previous symbols it will tell you next/previous song. These are when Music player is full screen with Album Art.
