is it possible???

Hi Guys
I've got a questions to all you guys who cook the roms as I don't and I think of my self as a strict end user of the HTC devices.
It is possible for you to create a nice and simple rom that will be ready to go after flashing and will contain a few things that I will alow my self to point out below:
- weather plugin on today screen (in WM6.1 or 6.5)
- a web browser that will display flash and all the rich content on the websites including youtube, vimeo etc
- favorite contacts with photos
- a set of nice games
- divix player with all the plugins
- google maps
- facebook, twiter etc
- MS office
- pdf reader
I think all those above are essential for any rom to be useful
Rom like this wold be ideal for people like me who just want to use it not constantly looking for all the bits and bobs to make it working. Call it whatever you want but this is why HTC don't appeal to that many people which is sad really coz it is a damn good piece of equipment.
Well i hope someone will get interested and maybe some of you guys will create rom like this for everyday user. and don't forget to make the theme sleek and sexy so my girlfriend will be jealous that her iphone can't look like this
Thank you

WELL everyone have there own preferences and when cooking rom the cheif have to think of everyone as a whole... so some might not want weather, or some might not need divx player or browser with flash or some one might use igo instead of google map.... so in short if you want you can install other app to get all of the above..., and just search this forum and you should get all of the above app....
Cheers

You might think those things are essential, but others may disagree. The best solution to your request is to flash an ultra-vanilla ROM and install everything as .CABs. For example, Facebook and FIM are both available as .CABS, as well as Google Maps. TCPMP plays my divx files and handles other formats very well indeed. Office and PDF readers are uncluded with quite a few ROMs already. Twitter widget came as part of SPB MobileShell, I don't use Twitter, but I am sure it works fine and is most likely available as a .CAB for a separate install.
Try something with lots of program memory available that includes only basics, each proper ROM will come with the list of things included and screenshots, so you can decide whether you want one.
After awhile, like most of us, you will have a small collection (or large) of .CABs you find absolutely necessary, my suggestion is to store them all on your SD card, that way if you flash ROMs frequently everything you need will be available within a few clicks.
Or.... you can ask nicely, donate to our fine chefs and get someone to create a ROM for you....

AHA! So it's a competition...

Ah! you are totally right about all the cabs ect. honestly I was going to do this but here is a problem. to find what I need is almost imposible, half of the download links doesn't work some of the stuff is not on the forum. It would be nice to have a ftp server where all the cabs and roms could be stored. Also is hard to find a 'plain' rom on which I could install the rest. It is to much of all this themes plugins ect and without proper ftp catalouge/folder filing system is just taking too much time That's why I 've asked coz whoever is actually cooking roms already have all that cabs and plugins on his/their computers nicely sorted But if there is no other option i will start building my own colection.

btw could u post a link to the facebook cab. It is inc in tomals 8.10 ver i can't find it plz help

Here you go.

Or... you can learn to use one of the kitchens provided by our chefs and create your own ROM...
You are not looking hard enough - simple basic ROMs are available, they come with no plug-ins or themes, FTP is also available, while you can look for .CABs you need in corresponding threads or use Search function.

Yeah agree, people just want to ask and ask to everybody supply their needs, but they don´t really do a research or donate or help in anyway.
This is nothing personal to anyone, just what I´ve seen along this years on this great site!

As I said, our journey just begin and you can expect many updates from us Ok for update target on 12/4.

This feature is actually in right now. You have to long-press the address bar to get it. Apparently, this is bad UI. We are adjusting)

Again, this feature is there as well. Just now it only work in a special directory. We will let you pick the directory where those bookmark files are
- YouTube related issues
We receive a lot of YT related issues. Please help us by being a bit more specific on your Android version and specific steps to reproduce. YT is blocked in China so it is very difficult to reproduce issues. Bear with us on this for a while.

We plan on Korean and Russian

We need help here. Different country have its own top sites. We included the English one in the attachment. It should be fairly easy to understand.

I created http://groups.google.com/group/miren-browser for MIREN-only discussion.
Thanks everyone. We will TRY HARD!!!!!

Russian translation
I sent you russian translation about two weeks ago. You can find it here . So if you'll include it to the next build, I'll check strings and UI aswell.
Thank all your team for great job.

keep up the good work, this browser has quickly and easily became my favorite.

I made a Dutch (nl) Top Sites list, please include it in the next release .
On the Android Market I saw a comment on the browser in Dutch, and the comment is very negative. I've translated it to English:
"Very slow browser, many lags when loading links. I shouldn't recommend it. Samsung Galaxy S 2.2"
Maybe you can do something about it?

I think you should try to improve the overall Performance (scrolling, zooming etc.) because this is imho the biggest negative aspect of your browser.
But nice work, it has very much potential!

Why do you keep opening new threads. Keeping your updates to one thread is much more easier. I don't even see you replying to my question about the screen brightness issue in my previous post.
Here is link to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9428813&postcount=11

i want this as default, but flash content renders over the address bar and it looks buggy and tacky. improve full screen settings. hasten loading times. and re-arrange text to zoom then im all in

Thanks for the feedback so far
Few points:
- We apologize if we didn't response fast enough. We will try to catch up
- Please suggest the best way to maintain a thread in XDA. We actually are very new to XDA and don't know the appropriate way. It seems not possible to change the Title of the original thread. Thus it is hard to tell we want to discuss a new RC instead of the old one. Anyway, please suggest. We want XDA members to try out new RC every one/two weeks and provide suggestions before it goes to market update.
- On performance. We are very serious about it. Please give us more specific steps so we can debug it out. Performance will be a main theme throughout our update cycle.

Yes, we got it thus why the RU version is possible.
Thanks again!

Cache to sd please. Or something. App is getting huge.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I'm having problems with flash playback. I get audio on videos posted to Facebook, but no visual. The same videos play great on the stock browser.
Flash on ESPN is very laggy.

I don't really have any of the performance issues that the others are talking about to be honest. I think the browser is actually very fast.
The one suggestion I would have is to highlight things when you are selecting them with your finger. This applies to the blue menu at the bottom of the screen and also to the bookmarks/history etc. When you click on an entry it should be highlighted, otherwise it looks like the screen has frozen.
Keep up the excellent work.

Feature request:
Saving web page as HTML or even PDF(Dolphin has thus .. )

We will support app2SD next week.

This is very important and should be made a priority, especially if it is a relatively simple coding task.

You got it!

Feature request:
When typing in a URL, have the address bar give a drop down that provides suggested URLs with a choice of common extensions (.com, .net etc). It would be awesome if you could also generate a list of choices based on your current location (e.g. if in Australia it would also suggest .com.au, or in china .com.cn)
But loving this browser already keep up the good work!

Hi,
Great Browser, I have two suggestions
1. Suggestions when searching
2. Bookmarklets (Javascript run as url). I use www.lastpass.com and they provide bookmarklets which will fill in log-in details. These work in Dolphin HD but not Miren. There are many other sites which produce bookmarklets for various reasons.
Thanks

1. should be implemented already. However a bug prevent suggestion showing. Should be fixed next week
2. We are investigating.

measuring apps

hello to everyone! i'm new in this forum (and sorry for my bad english, sometimes.. )
I'm going to buy the hd2 and I was looking for some cool apps.. I saw that there are some users that asked about "measuring apps" like light meter, angle meter, sound meter..
but without much success..
It will be great if someone could post a list of those programs (expecially a seismometer app, really cool! like this one --> youtube search: Seismometer App Demo For Windows Phone 7 || can't post the url cause i'm new..||
but for 6.5)
thanks!

try using the search function of the forum, than you'll find a few apps
or just browse the pages a bit, for example there is a metal detector app somewhere near the beginning of the themes and apps page
btw don't forget to say thanks to the developers and good luck with finding the apps you want

thanks gewoonian!
yes I've found some apps.. the only one I've not found yet is the seismometer.. I was searching for an iphone or wp7 (watch video) -like app.. but I couldn't find, also in other sites or forums..:\
maybe cause a hardware-limitation (g-sensor)?

Looking for Android Beta Testers - Please Participate!

Hello everybody and thank you for your interest in Beta testing my Android application. My app is called PulseLA and I am attempting to create a social media application that ranks people, food, movies, cars, etc…. for people to share what they love, hate, and always wanted to do… I have not tested this application on many devices and for some this app is getting (sort of smooth) and for others it’s a total disaster! I was hoping to get maybe a group of interested individuals to join my beta team for PulseLA. You do not need to reside in California or Los Angeles to use this app. But I do have more data centralized in L.A. in opposition to the rest of the United States.
Please contact me via E-mail or through this forum and I will send you an APK for install. I would greatly appreciate all comments, suggestions, and questions for further clarification and analysis.
My E-mail – [email protected]
Facebook Fanpage - http://www.facebook.com/PulseCaster
This app is currently on iPhone if you have two phones or an itouch and would like to see a live alpha version of my app. Please search for “PulseLA”. I have not done SEO modifications so you must spell “PulseLA” exact without spaces or you can do a search for “Pulsecaster”.
Thank you everybody!
Here is a direct link to download PulseLA
Thanks for the initial help. I have gone back to development! I will post back a link in the future.
If anybody is curious about how development is going then feel free to PM me or E-mail me. [email protected]

ehm, can i test this ?
got a tab to try it out on

Hi will try it
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Thanks. Sent Pm's with a link to download PulseLA.
If it will be easier I can send it to your e-mail so you can access the APK directly on your Phone/Tablet.

I'll test this out.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using xda premium

Installing now on my AT&T One X
EDIT:
Getting a white screen, when clicking on other tabs the loading animation plays but nothing happens. Clicking camera tab brings up 'create account' page. Notice a flashing 'camera roll' screen before creating account shows. Very iPhone-ish. Star = Favs? Finally loaded. Most of the other tabs don't. Just a lil advise, try to make the app as Android-ish as possible. A lot people hate, hate, hate direct iPhone ports to Android. At least have some sort of ICS elements in it.
P.S. Didnt sign-up.

This is actually the build for android and was not meant to be iPhone ish =[ However, we do need to go back in and redesign the app for better interface. Are there any apps that you think would be a good idea for me to look at to get a better idea of Android interfaces?
In the future the first tab which is feed will not be clickable as it is based on followers. Because you did not sign up for an account it will obviously be empty =] Upon signing up for an account you will randomly follow 5 people.
Loading the Star the first time is very slow. It will go faster on a wifi connection.
The star is a global ranking based on the top categories. If you were to click the Camera button then you could add things your opinion on just about anything based on the categories. *Note these are not working perfect and search is almost useless at this point. So you should be able to look up under category (things) movies, phones, brand names, food, etc...
So far thank you all for initial testing. What I really need some feedback on is whether or not facebook connect works as I've had a lot of problems at this front. Also if you are able to submit a camera pulse (In the app Camera Tab -> Use Camera) as some devices this crashes the app.

Seeking a x platform developer for simple(ish) app, largely RSS based

Hello!
I run an online site dedicated to bass music and news. One thing we're keen to push is a mobile app. I've previously toyed around with conduit and other app makers but clearly, these are a bit crappy, especially for some of the advanced features we're seeking.
Essentially, it would pull content from our site, bas.sx via RSS. However, we're looking for the SoundCloud embeds to play via a built in app player so that music can still be listened to as users navigate to other pages or into another app.
I've mocked up a pair of shots to give a rough idea of what we're after.
Initially we'd be looking at a native, tab optimised Android app and if successful, ported to iOS.
Anyone here interested? Please PM me! I'm not experienced at app development but I am a mega droid nerd.
Thanks!
PS, sorry if this isn't a good place to post. It seemed the most suitable thread.

Still learning but from where I stand, that doesn't look like it'd be too hard. PM me if you're still looking for someone
