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
Hey,
I just got my myTouch 4G Slide, and I have a few annoying issues. It could be due to the fact that I bought it in China (it even has some apps with Chinese names).
I don't like the "genius" button - I won't use that, and it doesn't work whatsoever. Is there a way to replace its function with, say, search button (like I had on my previous Android phone)?
Music: firstly, I don't even have a music application - I have to open it with the File Explorer (so I can't multitask). Could be because it's Chinese. The main problem is that the music is played from the speaker in the back of the phone. I like to sometimes listen to music without earphones. Is it possible to play music from the same speaker I use to talk?
When I scroll the applications menu, it "jumps" rather than scrolls smoothly - kinda like the difference between scrolling with the mouse wheel, and hitting "Page Down". Is it also a Chinese issue?
Pictures: so far I'm loving the camera. The only issue is that the pictures it produces are named IMG001, IMG002 and so on. That's really annoying. Is it possible to have the pictures named like on my previous phone, which was simply the time it was taken (yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss)?
Thanks a lot for all helpers!

The music icon in the app drawer is one of the apps hidden by Rosie (Sense Launcher). /system/customize/MNS/default.xml has the hidden app list in it.
I don't know if it's possibly to play music through the front-facing speaker at this time, though there's no reason why it can't be. A fun project for someone.

Yea, that's the way it's supposed to be. I don't like it either. You have to edit the Sense launcher directly to change it.
I just spent all day digging around in a decompiled Rosie.apk (Sense launcher) pulling out Kidzone by it's teeth. I've been fixing that kind of stuff since before the sun came up today, funny you should post those questions.

Dunno about this one. I don't think it's a native option, but don't see why it couldn't be written in after the fact.
Thanks for the reply.
Firstly I think we can be sure all the things I posted in OP are solvable - simply because (I think) Android is a Turing-complete machine
As for the "genius" key, I suppose it requires root etc.? Well I guess I would have to root it sometime
For music, how do I un-hide it, then? It really makes no sense to hide such a basic application!
I hope you'll keep me and the rest of the forum updated with the other stuff mentioned. Best of luck!
Have a nice weekend,
Ron.
Can't you get google music from the market? If not, download a room, pull the apk and install it. And this phone is much much much much better rooted. Thanks six btw, enjoying the rom.

You have to... i dunno wut da fuhhh T Mo did with this "OS Overlay?"
So, are there any available solutions to the presented problems (except for the first one)?
In addition, I think that when I firstly got the phone and got a call, I got two circles (accept/reject), which I had to drag to a ring (a bit similar to the lock screen). Now it just gives me the standard accept-reject buttons. I couldn't find anything about it in the settings - what have gone wrong?
I believe the answering screen alters depending on whether your screen was locked, or unlocked, at the moment you received your call. Correct me if I'm wrong...
Anyone knows why they removed the Stocks app? Or it is hidden? If hidden how to enable it?

How did you root it and what did you install in it?
I'm just a bit scared of doing that.
Awesome Beats for SGS3:
-Root required
1) Tested on SGS3(i747) and GNote(i717) and GNex(GSM)
2) Root Required (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1746665)
3) Download the attachments “AwsomeBeats.apk” and “com.motioncoding.beats-2.apk”
4) Copy AwsomeBeats.apk to /system/app/...make sure to fix permissions to rw-r-r ( you can use Root Explorer or similar software)
5) Install “com.motioncoding.beats-2.apk”
6) Use“Beat audio installer” in the app drawer to install “Awesome Beats” and it will ask for reboot.
7) After reboot, head to settings> sounds>music effects and change the music effects to “Awesome Beats” ( music fx stopped working message may come up, but it only happens once)
8) Head to “Awesome Beats” app in the app drawer and enable audio boost for speaker, headset and Bluetooth.( and any other changes you like)
9) Done….
Note: if it doesn’t work for you simply reset the music effect to Music Fx and uninstall the app.

There is a much easier way.
If you are rooted, just get the "Beats Audio Installer" from the Play Store (It's free). Run it, let it install, then reboot the phone.
I did it yesterday and it worked great! Makes my $20 Sony ear buds sound better than any I've ever heard.

com.motioncoding.beats ist actually the App from the Play Store. The only difference is that we keep it updated in the Play Store and this static link won't be updated I guess.

Does this really replace all the OP steps? It doesn't create an app in the app drawer called Awesome Beats, but every time I boot the notification bar does say "Beats Audio On" .. More than one way to skin a cat, or different thing entirely?
Awesome beats is working so nicely on my skyics ROM. You get an actual app that gives you options to customize your music instead of just a logo.
I originally installed the play store app (beats audio, root required) and it did nothing on my ROM. No noticeable audio difference.

edit!!!! I just realized what I was missing, and I didn't fully read the first thread. So I'm going to try that, and then see if I need to delete the original post I made, seen below in italics.
I've tried this twice, reloaded my GSIII rom R4 from scratch twice. If the screen goes blank, the audio sucks and goes back to normal sound. If I turn the volume up, the sound returns to normal. Then when the sound level bar goes off the screen, the sound quality goes back to normal. When I adjust the volume setting, the super sound returns. Then when the sound level bar goes away, the super sound quality goes back to ****.
What am I Missing?
Model: SGH-I727
ANDROID: 4.0.4
BASEBAND: I727UCLF5 (I'M GONNA CHANGE THAT TO 6 IN A FEW MINUTES.)
KERNEL: 3.0.8-1.5-CYMBALINE mohan_kr

or any similar program?
Hi Everyone,
One of the reasons I love CM10 is that you can skip tracks without tunring on the screen with the volume rocker. I love CM10, but I thought it would be great to be able to have this in stock.
So I was searching and trying to do it myself, and found a great tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728236
BUT I have a lot of problems deodexing the files. So I wanted to ask if there is any experienced developer that could be kind enough to help us modify the android.policy.jar and just post it here so we could replace our stock one and finally have this great mod on our stock devices.
Saludos,
Gustavo
UPDATE: I managed to deodex the files using apktools. Will try to manage a way to get the hack working

Ok,
I´ve given it a try, sort of understood how to make things. But then when I try to get the /system/framework/android.policy.jar from my stock ROM and then I deodex it, I find out that its empty!! I already tried putting CM10 and extracting it, to see if I did something wrong. But no, when I get the android.policy.jar from CM10, I see it has a lot of stuff.
How can we actually mod the stock ROM? Am I doing it wrong?
If any of the more experienced DEVs would like to help, it would be great. Otherwise, I'll keep looking for info on this and when/if I find out something, I'll tell you guys.
For anyone willing to do this, I found some usefull posts with "examples" here:

Do you use any of those with stock and does it work? I have tried several apps that people say in forums that "work with longpress" but most of them work with a headphone button longpress.
What we would want with this mod is have the volume rocker of the phone sort of work as the headphone button, allowing it to longpress to skip tracks.
Yes that feature works in stock rooms using the alternative music apps... It is built into their setting check either player pro or power amp both support it... But it will only work with those music players

I have used poweramp basically since it came out, and ATM such a feature is not available. As I said, they work with headset buttons, not with the phone's volume rocker. I really do wish you could show me I am wrong.
What we would want with this mod is have the PHONE VOLUME ROCKER longpress to skip tracks. In other words, have the volume rocker work as the headset buttons.

Check the control settings for premium version of player pro.. As you see the option is there... I just have it grayed it out cuz I don't use it... It's on the lock screen part of it's settings
I just bought it and after 3 minutes I decided to get a refund.
First of all, what it does is that when you have its lockscreen activated, and the phone's screen is on the player's lockscreen replacement you can switch songs with the volume rocker, which is not really quite what i want. I want to be able to do it while the phone's screen is off (like in CM10). unfortunately CM10 does not have audio over BT which kills it off for me.
Besides I feel like Poweramp (which I have bought a long time ago) is an overall better looking player.
I got an idea, someone could test? See above!

Hi, i have a question/problem thats been bugging me for a while and i couldnt find a solution...
I want to be able to listen to music while playing a game/ using an app, now some apps are ok with this and "shut up" the moment you start playing music, but others, such as kingdom rush for example, shut down the music playback the moment you open the app.
Is there a method to controll wich app produces sound? Much like on the pc?
Thats in advance for your help =]
(Also i read some where that the best way to get an answer is not to ask a question but instead provide the wrong answer, so here goes: ANDROID SUCKS BECAUSE THERES NO WAY TO CONTROL WHICH APP PRODUCES SOUBD!! =] )
Hello @Moldat
Firstly, this can be quite easily achieved if you're running a device with Android 4.4.
I'm not sure if "App Ops" is available on lower android versions. But if you're on KitKat, you can simply go into App Ops, scroll through the apps, find you game. And turn off the "Media Volume".
This stops the game from using inbuilt music and sound fx. This means you can keep your music on in the background.
Hope this helped, if you need to ask anything else, please do so.

Oh you're in luck mate, go to the play store and search for "App Ops" download and install it. There are many choose the one that you feel like having. And its pretty much the same procedure, scroll lthrough apps and disable the media volume.
