Possible revolutionary feature idea! - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

So I have pitched this to a few of the major android ROM makers on this site but I have yet to find anyone that says they have the know how to create my idea.
Well you know how you can select a custom picture and ringtone for people in your contact list? Well what if you could select a custom 15 sec video clip?
Abilities
- Custom clip from phone or internet video
-15 sec limit like ringtones
- Interchangeable sound, (Original video sound, or custom ringtone)
- Retain the Answer/Decline/Number/Name Overlay
- On cal will come up and play in loop until answer or decline
- On call pick up stop and phone operate as normal
What do ya'll think? Anyone have the know how to program something like this? I honestly think this could be the new big thing.

thanks for the help mate, but for some reason the link is not loading up..
however, im trying to access it on my vario III so mayb that's why
thanks,ive gotten it working and stuff and the albumflow, etc is pretty cool, but i was wondering if anyone knows how to get slide2play to display tracks by their track number rather than alphabetically??

It's still a work in progress, so that feature is probably to come and/or not implemented yet. My guess ..

Just put an "01-" in front of the first track file name, "02-" in front of the second track file name, and so on...

[APP] NameBuzz - A new concept for Caller ID, and SMS ID.

Hey Guys,
Was hoping for a bit of constructive feedback. Wrote an app called NameBuzz:
A new concept in incoming Caller ID and SMS ID technology. Silently know who's calling, without your phone leaving your pocket!
- Vibrate pattern based on syllables in contact name
- Create custom vibrate patterns per contact
- Speak contact name out loud
- Vibrate on call end
- Press volume key to disable during call
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The idea is that with only 5 or so people calling you regularly, their syllables should be enough for you to differentiate between people. And if not, you can always create a custom vibrate pattern for that contact!
As an extra, it also allows you to set up speaking caller ID - for the situations where you don't need your phone to be silent!
You can install with the following link:
NameBuzz Install
It's only tested in English for the time being, and on a Nexus One and Desire Z (HTC Vision).
If anyone gives it a go, feel free to let me know what you think!
Cheers,
Daz.
Cyrket link for all who are on a PC right now with screens : http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.dazbradbury.namebuzz/
Thanks, and here is an appbrain link (good for remote install):

Although, Cyrket does always seem more up to date.
Nice app! If only the voice was more enjoyable not so roboty if possible. The buzzing will take some time to learn, especially if you have friends with similar names..
AIM mobile IM = buzzing out of control!

Thanks! I intend to add some options around the voice output when I get a chance.

I think it should be fairly intuitive, as you can work out the number of syllables, and then the name. I would use the testing function a little to familiarise yourself.
AIM mobile IM = buzzing out of control!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This shouldn't buzz out of control, it will be the pattern of:
Buzz-Pause-Buzz-Buzz-Pause-Buzz - and then repeat.
AIM-space- Mob -ile -space-IM
So AIM = 1 syllable
Mobile = 2 syllables
IM = 1 syllable.
And I put little breaks in to break up words. Does that make sense?
could always use morse code for the vibrate patterns
I think I will try this.
Idea is truly nice. How about Froyo Support!
and just to let u know, i featured u on one of the biggest independent german tech blogs

Hi,
Yeh, the problem with morse code is that it would take forever to spell out a name entirely. Plus, someone has already done this. Look for "MorseRing".

Awesome, thanks! However, I guess you should warn people I've only tested this in english, and I coded the text-to-syllable engine to only really work with english letters. Hence, I'm not really sure how it will perform in german! Special accented characters that should be treated as syllable indicators probably won't get picked up...
Let me know if you give it a go, would be interested to know if it's really bad, or just not perfect!

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately, it's a little more tricky than that. I use certain knowledge about english to turn words into a number of syllables. Hence, it's not really a translation as such. I will have a think... if I can make into a translatable list, I will be sure to let you know!!

im at your service....just lemme know
I translatet also titanium backup to german
Going back to the topic, anyone have any thoughts/improvements?
Would love to know if anyone is getting to grips with it... Maybe I'll give you guys a few days to get used to the idea...!
Going on holiday for two weeks, so if you guys can come up with any feature requests, I'll implement them when I get back...
Hope you like it, and any ratings/feedback is much appreciated!
Cheers! Daz.
Is it just me or is this App no longer available in the Market? I've tried numerous barcodes and looked under Tools but only get told the app cannot be found.
Is there an actual install file available I can download so I can install this manually? I had it on my phone but my phone died and took the program with it.

I think I found the problem with this app not showing up in the Market for me. My phone was missing an update and once I performed it, NameBuzz showed up and installed without a glitch.
Great app. Makes phone calls a little easier to screen.
NameBuzz 1.2 now available:
- Works in collaboration with in-built ringer state. If your phone is in silent, it won't vibrate/speak, if in vibrate mode, it will vibrate but not speak, etc...
- Disabled during Call Waiting - simply provides call waiting tone rather than vibrating.
- Add custom speech text (ie. Incoming Call from Joe Bloggs)
- Added ability to set silent ringtone.

Ringtone suggestions?

I want a ringtone that's unique, maybe something from a video game that isn't heard often. IE: Metal Gear codec ring.
I tried the sonic drowning countdown, but it just isn't doing it for me. Just doesn't sound right as a ringtone.
Any suggestions?

I'm going to be a really pedantic fu**er right now.
Dictionary definition of the word 'Unique';-
Being the only one of its kind
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Therefore the only way you will ever get a truly unique ringtone is if you record a noise or tune that you have created or written and ensure that nobody else is ever able to copy it.
Failing that, just think about what you actually do want, go and search for it (try SoundCloud for some ideas that you can possibly copy out) and decide what you like.
OP, post your request here or just monitor this thread maybe you can find what your looking for...
There are apps, that allow you to make your own, check the GPlay Market, Thank you and Thread closed.

Helping finding "Hi" Notification Sound

Had this on one of my ROMs - Lost it. May have come in an app...
But it's the notification sound "Hi" it was simple, 3 notes. Low High Low.
Thanks guys, hope someone remembers and can point me to it!

That's going to be hard to find unless someone knows specifically the sound you are referring to. If you know the ROM it was in, download it and extract the files, see if it's in there.

[Q] Can someone help recognize this ringtone please?

Please help, anyone, its a little faint but here's the link:

Appreciate any input ! Thank you thank you!

Hi,
You may download the ringtone you like and put it on Ringtones folder. If the ringtone is not detected, convert it into Vorbis (.ogg) format.

Thanks for your reply, but I need to know what ringtone is it before I can search and download it in the internet. This is just a recording of the ringtone, not the actual ringtone(its recorded via phone mic).
Is it a samsung? Or an apple? HTC? Or custom tone..?
That was my question I guess.
Cheers
Hmm I normally am good at picking up tunes but that is a tough one. Is there not a longer clip? It sounds like a chord sequence to a pop song though where someone would come in and sing if it was not a midi version that is.

You can do a try before downloading. It varies (you can find some other Brand [meaning: Samsung and even old Nokia phones] ringtones, too) on the genre you like.

I would like to recognize this tone, which is a recording of a tune. :fingers-crossed:
I would like to download it, but I need to know what tone/song it is first prior to searching and eventually downloading it.
Catch ma drift?
