[REQUEST] BeatPad/Sample Pad app. - Android Apps and Games

I have been searching around for something like this but the best I could find is this archaic abandoned app called beatmaker but I can't link to it. I know it exists in the Google Code database. It's not a bad start though I'm looking for an app like that but hopefully with some more advanced features like what's found a device such as the Boss Dr. Sample. (I can't link to show what I'm talking about, just look up the SP-202, I still own one of those.). I'd be very willing to beta test this and I am now producing music on my MotoXoom using Caustic 2 and would like to have something more interactive to use than just the sequencer in Caustic. I would be using my Samsung GTab with ICS on it (AOKP CM9 build7) as my primary test device.

Have you tried "Su-preme MPA"?, it's more like an AKAI sampler but might be what you're looking for. I agree my app is not meant for this kind of live performance.

Yeah, what I'm looking for is something that is directly interactive with the samples. I'm giving SU-preme MPA Lite a try. The price for the full version seems kind of steep but I don't even know if it's worth it for me. Thanks for the app suggestion.
P.S. HEY! I'm a huge fan of Caustic! Been working with with it for over a week now trying to work on new material since I got my MotoXoom. And I'm far from saying your app is not meant for live performance. I truly believe I can use it when I get to the live performance aspect of my music. It'd be a great sequencer for songs. I hope to see you improve upon it, especially with tempo changes.

[APP] Extensive Notes

So I've actually had this in the market for a few months now but never actually posted here. This was one of the first apps I created and it just sort of grew and got an assortment of features. So if anyone wants to give it a go here is the market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.flufflydelusions.app.extensive_notes&feature=search_result
If anyone finds this app too complex, do try my other app I've developed to address this issue. It has nearly all the same features though very easy to use. Here is the xda link:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/classic-notes-lite-for-android/
I like this; "So many features, it's bordering on insanity."
This was the first app to make the App of the Week feature on my site. It's still one of my favorite apps I've ever used. Definitely the best notepad I've ever seen!

Was the first app I bought for my new Galaxy SII. Crazy amount of features.
+1 for sync! PLEEEEEEASE!!!!
Edit: Nevermind.
Love this POWERFUL app. But love to have the following changes in the upcoming version.
1. Memorize the settings selection in Extra. E.g. "from" and "to" language for Google Translate, Currency converter.
2. Sorted list for Currency. (e.g. ANG > BHD > VEF ...etc). It's quite hard to find the currency I am looking for the current implementation.
Just downloaded it, very nice app, seems to have LOADS of functionality.
Thank you very much
Glad you guys like it. Yes still lots of work to do with it
Just downloaded this. looks awesome, will be testing it today

Anyone looked at the Grid10 Tablet?

Has anyone seen the Grid10 tablet? it looks pretty good. Check it out here
I don't foresee any tablet having a specific advantage over my phone/PC combo any time soon, so I can't say I'm interested in purchasing one, but I really am impressed by the Grid10. I hope it does well, it looks sweet.
Looks sweet
I read about it before, I really would like to get a hands on with it and check out the user interface, it seems like a whole new idea. It is a very intuitive idea, but like a lot of things, we will see if it actually turns out as cool as they intended
The fact that the OS is based on android is pretty cool. I'd like to see what devs could do with it
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
only based on the android kernel though right, I think the UI is all it's own
true but it still looks like devs could do some great stuff
Got the "Fusion Garage" Grid10 10/13/2011
After update it became very fast and responcive, side loaded "google maps, Samurai 2, and Netflix", so far "Netflix (tried 7 diffrent APK's) is the only APK the does not work well, it kinda works but the video does not load, also I could not get the the "Android Market" to work tries 2 different APK's. I am thinking I will have to spoof the device ID, using the Astro. They still have a Gmail bug, should be fixed soon, just a token issue.

[ROM][Metro][MIUI] Metro UI ROM for Android

So at this point I would like to think that I am no stranger to Android development, however, as I move into the world of ROMs this is clearly not the case. I have had a number of people suggest that as part of the Seven+ Project we developer a WP7/ Metro UI ROM. I think that is a great idea, but just do not know where to begin.
With that said I would like people's feedback on the following:
Would you use such a ROM?
What features would you expect in such a ROM?
What ROM/ source should it be based off of?
What is preferable, open or closed source?
Would you be interested in working on a ROM?
With the unimaginable success of MIUI it has come to my intention that open source may not also be the way to go. Also, I would like to reach as many devices as possible but am not sure how. Basically, I am no ROM maker and that is why I really need people's feedback. This could be the next major ROM, or a novelty that few if any find valuable. So please, let me know what you think and who knows, perhaps we can get started on a ROM!

I'd use it,
I would like to see integration into social networks
maybe based on CyanogenMod, that way it may be easier to port to lots of devices?
Open source would be nice too
I would certainly try out the rom, I mean it would be a brand new experience. Now I would expect a full WP7 experience and with the innovations of Android (Take a look at HTC Sense, You can get some ideas what people like there). I agree this should be based off of Cyanogenmod. It has a large user base and should be easier to port from device to device. I tend to disagree with your view of closed sourced is better. Sure MIUI has been successful but it's no where near where it could of been if it was open, and also don't forget it's also based off cyanogenmod which is open sourced which allowed such creations as MIUI to be made. Open sourced allows software to become better and having it closed source just limits the rom. I don't have many if any skills for developing a rom, but if you needed testers I would be glad to help.
Would you use such a ROM?

Definitely, I thought about even making one but lots of the items are paid for items and it's against XDA rules to add pay-for items into a ROM.
What features would you expect in such a ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Launcher, Status Bar (Native, not an app), contacts, phone, framework-res mods (so the WP7 look is universal, and not just limited to the app alone), WP7 style texting app, keyboard, Lockscreen, and more.
What ROM/ source should it be based off of?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Cyanogenmod 7. However with MIUI's theme engine it would be a better choice, but then it would be more of a theme and less of a ROM. Also you might have issues if you're using the status bar + app, since for some reason, it appears under MIUI's status bar.
What is preferable, open or closed source?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anything Windows styled shall remain closed source, while Android itself remains open source.
Would you be interested in working on a ROM?

Click to collapse
Sure, depending on the circumstances. Could simply port to myTouch 4G from DHD, or G2 (or it can be the other way around) and have a synchronized release.. or other options.
My 2 Cents.
Very Good!
Yes Please! WP7 with google apps? Who doesn't want that?
So it seems that either only people interested in such a ROM found this forum post and replied, or people really do want a Metro UI ROM.
The closed/ open source issue is one we could ultimately decide on in the future, but making the UI open source would essentially eliminate the profitability of my work, and if the absolutely impossible were to occur and M$ realizes that Android could be a better Metro UI platform than WP7 should it be open source it would simply become theirs.
As for framework modifications that is certainly my intent. There is no reason TabHost could not be replaced with a Pivot control, use the same API perhaps with a custom XML namespace for additional control, and simply ignore the icons. Much of the same goes for menus and contextual menus. Other features like Panoramic controls would be additional features that would need to be explitictly used.
Now the suite of applications is important, and likely leads to a potential profit area. The ROM could be on XDA because it would be free, and for a fee all applications could be unlocked to become the full featured version. I certainly think CM would be a great base because of its broad compatibility. Otherwise thanks everyone for the feedback, I hope to get more soon.

Being completely honest here, but no, I wouldn't use it no matter how good it was.
The simple reason being that I really don't like that people keep trying to emulate the look and feel of OTHER mobile OS's in Android. What's wrong with Android's OWN look and feel? We should be trying to make THAT stand out as much as possible, not pretend to be the competition!

I would definitely use it! I feel like it's very important though that it has the feel of your UI demo App. With the notifications being the same access color and coming from the top. Pop-up 7 just doesn't really cut it when it comes to that. The variable alphas and low res buttons make it seem quickly put together. That being said I've been wondering for a while when/how you were planning on putting together/implementing a rom that had ALL of the components together and meshing well. I'm really excited to see this and will be checking back often (if not daily). Thanks for all your good work!
I would use it! if it's compatible with HTC wildfire, nobody work on ldpi device neither roms nor themes, only cm give somenthing compatible for us, an alternative would be appreciated, especially if it is somenthing light such as the wp7 ui

Why? It is simple: Android has a terrible user experience and from the looks of things (Honeycomb, ICS leak) it is not getting any better. That, and who even gets to see Android anymore? Carriers even with Honeycomb slab their UI and suite on top of Android to the point were frankly it no longer is Android.
I guess then the question is why make a WP7 ROM. Well the Metro UI is simple and effective, not to mention it could be easily done more performant than other (cough, Sense) UIs. Also, I have a great deal of code for Android that can give it that look and feel.
While a suite of applications is great it does not cut it. There is simply too much that can only be done as a ROM. Lately Android has been becoming more closed (no HC source, removal of APIs and permissions from the SDK), so before its too late I should think most would be happy that they get the best of both worlds: Android has a large application catalog and WP7 a great UI.
Just my though process, and if I can find developers to collaborate with I would love to begin a fork of CM7 for this ROM.

i would definitely like to help on this ROM, and I totally agree cyanogen should be used as a base.
but, it wouldn't be that hard to compile everything on top of cyanogen, but building the replacing apks is a lot harder. for those, I should knock on the door from the devs from www.wp7android.com they have already a great start with several applications. And maybe they are interested too in creating a ROM.
So if you would like to let me join you, you got your chef for the desire s.
Edit:
And because I don't know everything, I'd learn from this too.

Most of the devs in Seven+ project are from Wp7android.com which kinda collasped as far as I can see
A WP7 Rom would be great. I would use it. CM7 is probably the best AOSP platform to adapt, imho.
Would you use such a ROM?
Of course
What features would you expect in such a ROM?
Speed and less CPU consumption.
What ROM/source should it be based off of?
Nexus Prime or Sony Arc S
What is preferable, open or closed source?
Open Source
Would you be interested in working on a ROM?
I try my best to give suggestion or design a few things for it.

Custom sound "Theme Packs" , yay!

Hey guys,
Hopefully this post is okay in here. If not, sorry!
I've been on and off XDA for a while now. Haven't been too active because every phone I've had until now was outdated/lame/old and so on.
Loving the Galaxy S III. Very surprised by how good this phone is. I actually replaced an iPhone 4S 32GB with this.
Anyways,
Currently I work with 3D and Photoshop as a living and I spend 90% of my free time with music production and sound design.
I'm going to start work on one by one making my own custom sounds for my phone. Most of the current sounds I'm not to fond of so I figured I'd get some experience with this.
Wanted to let you guys know I can do custom sounds for you if you like. Just let me know what you're thinking and I'll see what I can do!
At times my life gets a little hectic so I'll try and keep up as much as I can.
The XDA community rocks, keep it up guys! <3
Thanks,

EDIT:
Alright! Here's the first two packs.
PLEASE NOTE
I am not responsible for anything bad you do to your phone
Changing sounds within the system files requires your phone to be rooted!
If you are not rooted then please check out this awesome how-to for rooting/unlocking the bootloader/ and so on, here.
There's two methods you can go about installing these packs.
1: You can simply download the .zip packs, place them in the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery, and run them!
OR
2: Using a file explorer like ES File Explorer, ASTRO, or something similar, copy the contents that are in the "audio" folder within the .zip, and paste them over the original files in your: system/media/audio directory on your phone.
NOTE: Some file explorers require you to enable an option in their settings to even allow you to see the system section of your phone. Also, since you're writing new files, you need to make sure the file explorer will allow to write files in these sections.
Some of the file explorers default to these settings off for the safety of your phone!
ANYWAYS,
Here's what I have so far:
GS_III_FlashableSoundPack_customSTOCK
- All stock sounds except for the annoying "power on" and "power off" sounds
GS_III_FlashableSoundPack_MGSedition
- A Metal Gear Solid Theme pack
- This is an early version for now with the following changes:
- NEW "Call_Connect" Sound
- NEW "Charger_Connection" Sound
- NEW "Lock" Sound
- NEW "Unlock" Sound
- NEW "LowBattery" Sound
- NEW "PowerOff" Sound
- NEW "MGS_Codec_Call" placed in Ringtones
- NEW "MGS_Found" placed in Notifications
That's it so far!
Do keep in mind, I'm only testing these on a Galaxy S III. I don't know if the sound files of other phones are named and placed the same as this. So, for those of you with other phones, please let me know if you would like to get these to work on your device and we can work together to figure it out.
ALSO
For now the flashable .zip I'm using is unmodified (besides the files it's delivering) and I got it from here
I would like the zip to say something else while it runs but I can't figure that out yet!
Either way, it works, AND Be sure to thank papayayoghurt in some way or another. The flashable zip makes this soooooooo easy!
Thanks again guys!
Please send me more suggestions, ideas, devices you want to see it on, and so on.
I will be gone for the weekend so I won't be able to get a whole lot done on this, but we'll see.
List of what needs to be done:
1. Football Theme
2. Ninja Turtles Theme
3. Legend Of Zelda Theme

Okay,
The Metal Gear Solid pack is pretty much done. Just had to convert the sounds to the proper format and that's it!
Obviously there's not a ton of MGS sounds out there so I'm only replacing the important ones.
Only issue is. I want to create a simple .ZIP so that all you guys have to do is boot into recovery, run the .ZIP, and it's all set!
I'm not really experienced at all with this and I simply want it to overwrite new .ogg files over the originals and place some ringtones/notifications in the proper folders. Any help?
Just FYI, I will be testing all of these packs on my Galaxy S III to ensure they work and eventually I could adjust them to work with other Android devices if that's necessary, and of course I'll create a pack that will bring you back to stock sounds if you like.

I haven't actually attempted it yet, but it explains how to make flashable zips.
Just wondering, what is the kind of process involved to make sound files like the ones we find on our phones? Like the water droplet, or the notifications sounds and whatnot. What kind of software is involved, what plug-ins, virtual instruments, synths, etc are normally used for something like that? I find it all really interesting and would love to learn how to make custom sounds!

Thanks for the link, I really appreciate it!
Only problem is, is apparently this type of code is not supported with this version of Android so I have to do it in the new standard but I can't find much on it and it's got me quite confused now.
The creating and editing of the samples is not the hard part really but creating an easy install method is turning out quite hard! :/
As far as sound creation goes, it all depends on what type of sound you're trying to create.
Like you mentioned, the water droplet, it probably could have been made by a very experienced sound engineer with a synthesizer, BUT the easier route would be:
1. Record the droplet with a somewhat decent microphone
2. (now that we're in the digital age. Haha!) Bring the recorded sample of the water droplet into some software (in my case, I use FL Studio { NOTE: a lot of people HATE it because it's "cheap", but I personally LOVE it! , easiest to use and most unrestricted workflow hands down!})
3. Editing wouldn't be much with something like this, you would simply cut out the "bad" frequencies. So, typically, the unnecessary really low frequencies. Also, the sample would be cut so that the excess audio is not in there. You only want the sample to be of the audio you want!
4. Export the final sample as the required file type, so in androids case, it uses .ogg in most cases I think?
That's it!
But then there comes the part of creating sounds with software, and that's were the possibilities are truly endless!
A lot of musicians, producers, sound engineers, and ect tend to have VERY biased opinions about software, and frankly it's downright low. Almost all of the big DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) out there are so similar now it doesn't matter! And then they start saying that you can tell by the way a track sounds they know which DAW it was made with, which is also a load.
In the end it doesn't matter which tools you use to "cook" your latest awesomeness, it never does, but what really matters is how those tools were used!
Try not to be overwhelmed by the DAWs out there. Once you learn one you can seriously learn them all! They all have extremely similar sections and run on the same ideas.
When I started learning audio production and all that a couple years ago I didn't have internet so I kinda just learned it on my own so I don't really know of any good places for tutorials off the top of my head, BUT Google and Youtube should be a good start!
I know ImageLine (the creators of FL Studio) have tutorials up on their YouTube for almost everything they make.
Something I LOVE about working on music on a Windows PC is that most of the DAWs use a standard plugin format and no proprietary bullcrap. This would be VST. There's COUNTLESS free VST plugins out there that you can do soooooooooo much with. Which is freaking sweet! Haha
Well,
I've got to get some rest, I'll be posting more on here tomorrow. Let me know if you have any more questions and sorry if this isn't clear, hopefully it is!
Thanks!

Wow! Thanks for the extensive explanation! I'm just always wondering where I can get some more experience. I'm not so much interested in it as a career, but more as a hobby, and I have played around a bit in Reaper (my personal favorite DAW), but again I don't know too much yet. I guess I'll have to try some of those methods some time, and perhaps give FLStudio a shot too.
Thanks again, that was really an awesome reply!
Not to go on the contrary, but I've been mixing for some time now, and any actually experienced musician or producer should be able to tell what daw you use. They do all sound different. I actually create sample packs for musicians to use... if your cutting up audio, you should be using something like Amadeus or audacity. None of the daws go to enough detail in a sound file to create truly clean samples. Trust me on this.

Try audacity. It's free and is a dedicated audio editor, not a music creation studio. Audacity will allow you to zoom in enough to really separate what you're trying to sample from the rest of the sound.

How about some Simpsons sounds???
Homer - "Doh!" "Aaaaaaaaaoh!"
Marge - her trademark grunt of exasperation
Bart - Don't have a cow man!
Mr Burns - Excellent
Nelson - Ha Ha
Dr. Hibbert's chuckle
Dr. Nick's "Hi everybody!"
Ralph - pretty much anything he says
etc.
Would love a Final Fantasy pack.

Wow! Thanks for the extensive explanation! I'm just always wondering where I can get some more experience. I'm not so much interested in it as a career, but more as a hobby, and I have played around a bit in Reaper (my personal favorite DAW), but again I don't know too much yet. I guess I'll have to try some of those methods some time, and perhaps give FLStudio a shot too.
Thanks again, that was really an awesome reply!

Not going to go into a big argument here, but that's totally not true and never will be. Google it,countless forums trying to prove that they sound different but no proof that shows they truly sound very different, and even if they sounded slightly different. Why does it matter? We're all different, we all like different things, the software/tools should never matter, just what we do with them.
A lot of DAWs come with stock sounds that over time you can ASSUME came from the original DAW they were bundled with, but how do you actually know for a fact which DAW they came from? Who really knows, the artist could have taken those stock sounds from one DAW and put them into a completely different DAW! Haha
Creating sample packs can be a lot of fun! Do you do more of the digital stuff or foley work to? I personally love both
As far as cutting the audio goes. Most DAWs are good. I'm not saying all of them, but I've personally been using FL Studio, I've used Digital Performer, Pro Tools, Garage Band, Ableton Live, and a few more and had no issues. It's all in your head, sure some DAWs make it easier than others, but it's not to the point where if you use a certain DAW to edit sounds it just totally ruins them. Haha!
Audacity is a pretty good program and the fact that it's free is awesome. Do check it out guys if you're interested!

Haha, added to the list of themes to get done!
Thanks for suggesting which sounds to use too. That's actually quite helpful, but now what to use those sounds for. Like which one would be the lock sound, unlock, and so on?
Check the first post guys, thanks a lot for the suggestions, and stay tuned for future updates!
When the zelda theme is done ill be all over this thread

[DISCUSSION]Post your wishes for android 5.0 aka KeyLimePie !!!

Preface :
Well i know that its too early to call android 5.0 keylimepie and all (or is it ? ) but just for the time being let it be so the title says the rest
Aim :
To let people post there wishes on what Google should alter or add into the latest and greatest version of their mobile operating system when it comes out some time next year !
Aftermath :
Nothing no Google employees are ever gonna see this but we'll get to know what people are expecting which may help us better judge KLP when it comes out
Well i have a long list of wishes too but i need a physical keyboard to type em all out so I'll edit this post with my wishes are soon as i reach home
Wait ....
Are there similar threads ? - no worries just report and delete this one - i mean no offense just wanted to gather more info from a creative discussion
Thanks for viewing !
To be honest it is unlikely it will be called key lime pie i am saying that because of what many users have found in the jelly bean easter egg looks more like kandy kane or something similar
im what Willis was talking about
My first wish is please change the name other than key lime pie... If sounded repeatedly it feels like some chinese words or something. lol.
i wish google could reduce the OS battery consumption.

Then your probably in luck as there are reports of Google introducing project road runner which is aimed at increasing overall battery life

Yes i heard about it before, but i haven't search about it until you mention it.
It would be great if android smartphones can last 1-2 days longer with daily usage.
My wish would be to make all the worth while apps FREE for everyone for a day"only joking?". Would like to see more apps for photosphere to work along side with. Would like to see all the advertising removed from all apps. I would like more interactive ideas with say tv that works flawlessly and not so much fuffing around, 'dear me im sounding like an applesaurus!!" And yeah Roadrunner sound the business I'd like that, kinda smooth and chill out name!!!!

Don't think there is anything Google can do to increase battery life beyond a certain extent - oem's must come up with some sort of innovation !

I want app data sync (that works) so I can play a game on my tablet and continue on my phone

Since they have a new "Chrome" (really some other alloy) statue at MountainView, maybe it'll be called Khronium. Android 5.0 Khronium sounds so cool xD.....but yea it'd break the dessert line...but maybe it'll be so epic it HAS to break the usual naming convention.
I want to see these features:
Root Access choice by default
Lockscreen Customization by default
Group MMS by default
A more Gesture based interface like Ubuntu...(xD copying isn't so bad >.> ) or at least a new UI that has the different Settings, and such, much more consolidated to reduce the need to press this, then that, then this, then back to that.
Google Play Music upgraded to include basic and advanced music features, as extensive as the Sony Walkman app for example and built into the Stock ROM with full voice controls like Samsung's music app
Stock file manager with root access
Revamped and fully functional Google Docs integrated into the OS completely.
Full Desktop Experience when docked would be cool.
Features that are more outlandish:
Insta-Porting. Instantly port the latest AOSP version of Android to any device. (rofl yea to the right)

Yea, that's a great idea!

Better keyboard layout...commas are hidden away and I can't remember the number of times I accidentally clicked "Go" when trying to press the backspace key.
