Tapatalk search help - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I love the new update for Tapatalk. But one thing I haven't figured out yet is how to search a specific forum.
For instance I want to search in the Skyrocket sub-forums instead of the whole xda community. I know I'm missing something small to accomplish this but I can't figure it out!

Android-gotchi

I was at the Walmart today and was walking through the toys section and saw a tamagotchi. I didn't know they still made them. So I was holding it in one hand and had my EVO in the other and had an idea. Android-gotchi. Not aware if it already exist. But I think it would be an awesome widget on the home screen. if anybody know if one exist post it. If not any dev out there can put time into this will be awesome. I am not a dev. Idea is welcome to anybody.

i was wondering the same thing. i would love to know if theres already an app like this
Wow this would be AWESOME.
Well there is one called droid pet widget. Is kind of simple but is the same concept and it lives in your homescreen. Would love to see one of the amazing devs here make one.

i have to feed my mini android!!

HELP WANTED!!!! Devs, coders, grapic artist and all!

Hello, I'm posting this tread because I have searched every inch of the market/internet for a good First person-Role playing game in real time. I know about "Deadly dungeons", don't get me wrong it's a great game but its not in real time and not free roaming.
So, see that it might take awhile for someone to make said game, I've decided to make one myself. Only one problem. I don't know any code, and I suck at graphics. I'll be doing plots, quest, main quest, and music. So I'm looking for a team who would like to help me put this together. It will be a paid for app will a free trial so in the end, if it is any good there will be money. No guarantees thought. But seeing as it will be the first of it's kind, there is a good chance.
Imagine a game like "The Elder Scrolls" or like the iOS game "Necromancer's Rising". That is what I'm looking for. So if your interested in seeing this come to life, PM me and I'll give you my email ASAP.
Please, I know many people are waiting for such a game, and there is money in it IF it is completed and turns out well, but that all depends on how hard your willing to work. Think of how many "These guys just made my day for making this game" there will be. I personally am a HUGE Elder Scrolls fan, I mean I got every game. From Arena to Skyrim. That is what starting my love for, as I call them FPRTRPG games.
Hope to be hearing from you guys!
-Andrew
P.S If you are not interested, or not a developer or what now, please spreed the word, if you know someone who might want to help, tell them about this.
If you don't know any code and wouldn't be doing the graphics what exactly would your contribution be?
Yeah what you be contributing besides an idea? And if you can contribute and would like to make a team with some people, im starting to learn coding and would love to help out if i can. Pm me if interested

This would be awesome. I'd love a good first person RPG. I have not found a single RPG on Android I like. I like turn based but they are all the same now. I prefer real time RPGs. A game called Earth and Legacy is very close to what I want to play, but lacks a storyline. I can program but I am not familiar with building a gaming engine.

good point :/
Normally you would be right. But i thing this one's a bit different. Why? The author said it's a role playing game in 3D. Yep it's quite hard coding but don't forget about a plot... it would be freakin hard to think up entire world, characters, etc., etc... so his effort could be great, only if he has some ideas of course
If anything I could try to think of worlds names and the story plot , if it's needed. I've played MMORPG's all my life and know what's a good story plot and etc would be like

[Help] What Happened to Link?

Link, you know the green fairy boy of legend? The Hero of Time, and the wielder of the Bane of Evil. If not Click Here. So I'm having this debate, it's been a debate I've had for the past 5 years or so. What happened to link after the Ocarina of Time? He beats Gannon, and Navi leaves him. Link then sets out on a quest to find his only true friend. [Warning this is my POV from lots of Googles] After link leaves Hyrule, he decides to find Navi in the only place that would make sense, the Lost Woods. Link not being a Kokiri, or having a fairy can't find his way in the woods. Legend has it that Kids, and Adults who venture into the woods turn into either Skull Kids. Or they turn into those Skeleton Knights. Now this is the most accepted tid bit of information. Here is my weird theory.
After going into the Lost Woods, link spends for ever aimlessly wondering the woods, looking for Navi. After being lost for what feels like years. He comes across the Skull Kid. The skull kid hits Link over the head, causing him to die (This is also symbolic of life setting in. He's a Skull Kid, but has no clue of it) . But link is sent into purgatory, having no clue he is dead. That's when he chases Skull Kid into the cave. Upon reaching the cave, he falls. Seeing images from his past, present, and future. This is kinda like his soul being decoded in order to make his purgatory. So he is later cursed, and changed into a Deku. Why? That's him being able to relive his life as a week, defenseless "Child". Since he was pretty much reborn, he's given the one thing he's spent his whole life looking for. A fairy, but it's not his tho. So the story progresses, and he meets the mask salesman. He's kinda like that guy in American Dad who gives you IceCream right before he says your dead. But it being link, he wants a flipping quest. So he has to venture and find Skull Kid in order to become human. In Order to find Navi. Navi can be seen as his "heaven" if you would. He needs to do one final quest get the peace he's wanted. So as he leaves the building, you see almost all the characters in the town are from Hyrule. It's the only thing he knows, the people of Hyrule. All the lives he's saved, he needs to save again to find eternal peace. So that's it, for the weird theory. Here's side info to make more sense of this.
The Goron is a representation of being a powerful leader, and his connection to Sarah.
The Zora is him as a teen, falling in love. His guitar is Navi/Quest that he choice over Zelda.
The game has a darker feeling in it. It's link being able to live real life, and not just battling evil. He helps to lovers get together, he dances. He makes deeper relationships with characters, and has a chance to live a normal life. Once he helps out all the people, and obtains the mask (makers proving he lived his life). He can battle the Skull Kid, and can also receive the Fierce Deity's Mask once you get all the mask. A part I find weird is that the kid wearing the Evil mask is giving you this tool. The ultimate mask that makes you a full blown adult, with god like powers. This can be seen as link doing everything possible live his life. Now he has the power to defeat the mask, and go to his "heaven".
Once Skull Kid is free, and you saved the world. Your off to venture for Navi. The one thing you've always wanted to do. The one thing that made you feel alive again. I feel like link is stuck in this purgatory trying yo find his only friend. Refusing the fact that he's finally dead, and free to go away.
Any Ideas?
Haha whoaa.. did not see it like that.. makes sense. Wish I had some input to contribute :sly:

Cool droid story

http://dvice.com/archives/2012/10/ethiopian-kids.php
Ethiopian kids hack android. Could not even read before finding the device.
Via my Google Galaxy S3 running magic beans
That is just amazing, those children learned to do something that most adults can't even do with a detailed walkthrough!
Thank you for posting this!!!

Amazing kids. It certainly gives me a warm fuzzy feeling reading that article. Great these kids now have resources to learn.
Good article. Goes to show you how quickly kid's brain's can adapt to use new technology. Many adults (looking @ my parents here) would obviously be able to probably use the device but they would never figure out how to "hack" it on their own.
edit: I also read this title as "cool story, droid" as if it were "cool story, bro" every time lol.

It is interesting they did that, I'd be curious what exact "hacking" took place compared to the "hacking" (term wise) that's done on these forums.
And it is interesting how kids can do so much more learning easier than adults. You would think the brain would grow in ability like that rather than wither.

Net Navi/Mega man PET style app

So I got to thinking earlier today that it would be kinda awesome to have "net navis" on our android devices. It could be somewhat based on the Megaman games where you would have a character that would "live in your phone" and it could be your personal assistant along with going into the net and doing cool things like in the games. So it could have a practical and helpful use and a game/fun use. It could be an interesting idea that a developer could take and run with or maybe there's even something out there like this already. If anyone really likes the idea and would like to create it, i have a whole gameplan layed out for the specifics. I'm just not too savvy on app making. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Haha, I thought of that 2 minutes after I started playing MegaMan Battle Network (the original game for the GBA)! Unfortunately, I don't know how to code. If I did, I would have made a PET app already. It's crazy that Capcom hasn't and isn't planning on ever doing it. It seems like such an obvious thing to make. MMBN was ahead of its time but now we have smartphones that are just like PETs from the games and anime and we have assistant-like programs like Siri and Google Now.
I'm seriously considering learning how to code and program AI bots just so that I can make a NetNavi program. It would be even cooler if I could make AI programs self aware but I don't think I could ever do that. If I ever learn to code I'll make the app and let you know ;P
I'm actually kind of interested on the "gameplan" you've got laid out Maybe we've thought of the same things.
What I would not like to see this turning into is a fighting MMO. That would totally ruin the concept as NetNavis were supposed to be useful programs and not just toys.
I think i would like to get into this once i start getting the hang of doing android development. i already do other kinds of development including web based and some back end game development.
Let us know if you do. I would soooooo love to make the program but even if I did know how to code it would still be incredibly hard. It should be some sort of launcher and not just an app. Kinda like the way Facebook Home works: it doesn't take away important features but it customizes the whole experience in order to do its job. That how I imagine this. You get a call and, instead of ringing, your phone vibrates intensely and when you get it out of your pocket your Navi says something along the lines of "X is calling you. Wanna pick it up?". Of course Navis would speak differently depending on who you are (age, job, personality etc). When somebody sends you an email, your Navi would say "You got an email from X. Want me to read it?".
On to the interface, I think most of it shouldn't be easy to customize. Everyone should start off with a default gray humanoid Navi and from that point on, if somebody wants a custom Navi they should program it themselves so that they can make it look exactly the way they want it to look. There shouldn't be a Navi customization feature where users can pick a set of eyes, ahead shape, a helmet etc because that would make it too childish. The maker of the program should offer advice on how to create a custom Navi an should make that possible to do but that's about it. Remember how in the game not many people had custom Navis?
If you ever need alpha/beta testers you know who to ask
Good idea!

Thanks Anything you've thought of?
Yo I honestly think this is a good idea. Ive been DYING for an app like this to come out. You could combine something like iOS Siri and a Launcher/Theme app with a netnavi sort of mini game rpg type thing close to the gba game. You could customize the everything about the netnavi and level up find new weapons battle other people and all kinds of things as it progresses. It could make a whole lot of money too it could end up as its own Operating System like in the game. A real artificially intelligent app/OS game or whatever you could take it in a whole lot of places really. Someone needs to work on this idea.

Well, if I were to make a NetNavi program it wouldn't be a game. It would be a useful AI virtual assistant that would sort of combine Siri with Google Now. Like, it could intelligently predict what you wanna know and would know if you are interested in something specific during that time (like, say, an upcoming video game release) and it would help you with your life so that you don't have to open a billion different apps in order to do a single thing. One app (or rather, one OS) would be able to do everything and people would be able to download add-ons but not apps. The experience would have to be uniformed and everything should be accessible by the Navi so that it can do its job.
Of course, it could still have a gaming aspect. In the GBA games and in the anime NetNavis are personal assistants/anti-virus programs first and online gaming avatars (NetBattlers) second. So that would be nice. People who are only interested in a personal assistant could use the Navi that way while people who are into gaming could also train them to battle.

That sounds perfect lol i mean i honestly think it can be done and would love for thos to happen. Someone could even make a custom ROM or something or Launcher for now til it gets out there and does good cause all that coding and programs to make this would be expensive in the beginning. Someone could create an add on to a rom already til it gets popular or anything really lol i jus wanna see it done i been waiting since i was a kid and i know its possible now.

Hahah I've been waiting for it since I was 6 xD (I'm 15 now)
Now that I've finished all the 6 MMBN GBA games I want a NetNavi / PET more than ever. And since nobody is making one -even though it seems so obvious and the resources are here for the most part- I'd be happy to be the one who creates it IF I had a team of scientists, engineers and programmers to help me. But I don't. And I don't know how to code. But if I ever learn how to, I promise I'm gonna do everything I can to make this a reality for everyone.

The resources are ~mostly~ here. What about the killer AI? I don't think we could make such smart bots... Maybe in a couple of decades and with enough dedication.... Actually, we might be pretty close; take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tqt2TurCnI (you're gonna love it). Gotta get more info on this thing. Also, take a look at this amazing concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8iGWzG5wyU .
I think I'm gonna work on some "prototypes" (sketches and stuff) during the summertime once the finals are over. It would be fun. And who knows. I'm interested in programming so I might learn how to code and make a working PET prototype one day :silly:

Hey guys, hope this is still an open topic because I've been planning on starting a project to create an AI suitable for an app like this, then continue to work on it until it becomes a general AI. (or "super AI" capable of emotion, perception, interaction, education etc. like how human are to an extent) I've been a fan of Megaman for a while but took most interest in MMBN series because of the net navis and what they could be capable of. Toonwar, do you mind discussing to me your game plan lay out for this? you, or anyone else here really can just E-mail me at "[email protected]" in case Im not online at the moment or something. look forward to the dawn of navis and maybe a team that could help!
Hey guys:
Just wanted to say I'm passion too about AI...and love net navi's and megaman in general. I think it would be pretty cool if we could put together a team...even if not everyone can program well...we can all put our minds together and start getting the ball rolling right? Looking forward to this..

So you're best at making websites? The way I always envisioned the "jacking-in" and net navi battles would be a website based for navis to battle or meet up (because of course the internet doesnt look like it does in the show, and if navis could discard viruses there wouldnt be a fun battle that comes with it) so I think your skills would become really helpful later on in this! At the moment I'm actually learning the adroid SDK and java coding so that I can know the basics for starting an app for the AI's. It seems like youd be willing to help out in this? It'd be sweet if we could start a team!
