Google Reader Petition - General Topics

As most have heard, Google Reader is due to be shut down in July.
This petition has been gaining a lot of steam in a short time. If you are an avid user of Google Reader or the apps that use it's API, it's worth trying to get Google to change their mind.
Please sign the petition here.

[Req] Dummy App

Hello everybody, I'm fairly new (ghoster mostly) to this forum and yet I'm already making a request.
I've got a Dreamspark account with Microsoft since I'm a student right now, but I have no background in any type of coding. I'm registered with App Hub as a student developer, but I need an app to submit to them to get verified. Any crappy app works, but I just don't know the first thing about creating apps. After I get verified, I can get Mango beta from them legitimately rather than going through the side steps as some of you've posted here.
If anybody could make me a quick, easy app, I'd really appreciate it. I won't publish it or anything of course.
Thanks!
Why not look at the tutorial videos over here? -
http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Phone-7-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners
Within a video or two, you'll know how to build a "Hello World" application that you can submit to get your account validated.
Thanks for that, that was kinda interesting actually although minuscule. Thanks for the link!

No Google+ Hangout? Are we the "out" crowd?

Since July, I've been eagerly awaiting the ability to video chat with friends using google's Talk and today I read that the Google+ android app has added the ability to to start a "hangout" (Google+ videochat with more than one friend at once).
Are we non-rooted MyTouch 4G users forever in the "out" crowd on this because google won't give us a basic video chat feature for their Talk app? I mean c'mon already, we are at Android 2.3.4 on this wonderful lil powerhouse of a phone with front facing cam, and I don't see any video support for google apps yet....
... have I missed something?
... or is this T-Mobile locking us out of this functionality?

From http://www.androidcentral.com/google-app-set-receive-big-update-will-now-allow-you-initiate-hangouts
The Google+ Android app has continued to evolve at a rapid pace. Back in September, Google added the functionality to be able to join a Hangout from any Android phone running Android 2.3 and up. One of the biggest frustrations, however, was not being able to initiative a Hangout from your mobile device. Google has finally brought that ability to the app by allowing you to start a Hangout from Messenger. If you've started a a Messenger group, you'll now see a camera icon that will initiate a Hangout with a simple tap.
Great features just keep coming. Google announced on their blog post that the app will update in the next few days, so keep your eyes out. They also announced that similar functionality will be brought to iOS so you'll be able to Hangout with your family and friends even if they have iPhones and iPads.
If you don't yet have the Google+ app, please find links to the free app after the break.

And even if the app doesn't show up in our market i'm sure one of our awesome hackers/devs will be able to fabricate the app to work on our phone. But their blog says it's work on any device 2.3.x+ so yes it will work on our phone.

Neither rude nor childish. What was irresponsible was posting a question that has been clearly answered by the Developers themselves.
I never claim to be nice, i just claim to be honest.
edit :
You have no clue how i posted that. If you took it as insulting the problem lies with you. You can ask anyone of the other members here. I am never insulting or demeaning to any of the members. It's pointless to be rude to people that you've/i've/we've never met.
What I read yesterday is that the Google+ app already had the ability to join a hangout in progress, but that the new app being released adds the ability to start a hangout.
Now, I don't think the Glacier ever had the ability to do video chat with google apps. But, after reading yesterday that the Google+ app has already had the ability to join a hangout, I've tried joining an existing hangout with my google+ app but could not find a way to do so. My app is up to date via the Market, but that can be difficult to verify since the market lists the version as being device dependent (and so we could be left out of the latest versions), and since we never could do video with the Talk app., I kinda wonder if I'm chasing my tail here or if video DOES work for us now.
So, has anybody with a non-rooted MyTouch 4G had any success in video chatting with Google+, or have we been left out of having this ability?

Possible for a non-rooted phone? Have you tried it with success? If so, where are the .apks and .libs (more than one?) and how does a non-rooted phone have these successfully installed (instructions)?
And yes, please understand before you insult me again, that I HAVE been searching this forum for these answers (by my ability to read). I'm asking for someone to explain how this is done; not just confirm that they know someone else that did it... I mean it's nice to know that it can be done, if that is indeed true, but you have already started this conversation off on the wrong foot, matey, and it would be nice if you would just give up your fight and let someone else respond if they actually have HELP!

good riddance, it was of no help anyway. Your rudeness was public, so I moved my responses to private (PM) out of respect for the forum.
I'm sorry people, for that display; can we get this back on topic now?

He wasn't rude. You didn't read. He made it more clear for you. You're overreacting. I'm done.
Cease the fight people. We must unite.
If I remember correctly I have successfully joined a hangout using the stock ROM, but it was definitely rooted. I know I've used CM7 to hangout. Decent feed as long as you're on wifi, the mic is a little sensitive though and gives some feedback, esp if you're in a room with someone else in the same hangout.

The information that was highlighted in GIANT RED LETTERS is about the release of a feature to INITIATE a video chat, BUT, the google+ app has allowed JOINING a video chat for a while now. Here, let me repost what information I already read before starting this post:
"Back in September, Google added the functionality to be able to join a Hangout from any Android phone running Android 2.3 and up. One of the biggest frustrations, however, was not being able to initiative a Hangout from your mobile device."
SEPTEMBER! this ability has been around since September. And yet I haven't seen or heard of it working with our phones this is why I posted a thread.
Regardless of the latest release, it seems that a non-rooted MyTouch 4G cant do video chat with the google+ app., nor could it do it with the Talk app. I would like to know if anyone has had success with making video chat work with google apps on a non-rooted MyTouch 4G.
But, it looks like you guys didn't read my questions -- those are the sentences with the question marks at the end. I quoted them above, but I'll try to make them simpler to understand. (Some of you senior users need to just move on if you see something that annoys you, instead of attack dogging people because you don't like or understand the way a question was posed.)
Has anybody with a non-rooted MyTouch 4G had any success with video chat for the Talk app or the Google+ app?
If no...
Is this because Google left out this capability with the Talk app?
Is this because T-Mobile has locked out these features?
And this is implied:
If yes...
How do we make video chat for the Talk app work on a non-rooted MyTouch 4G?
How do we make video chat for the Google+ app work on a non-rooted MyTouch 4G?
I guess I could ask one more question:
Does anybody have a non-rooted MyTouch 4G that can answer these questions based on experience?

Do not worry it does not. But if you do not believe me, here is the SOURCE code is made with beta AppInventor (http://beta.appinventor.mit.edu/)
View attachment Developer_Console.zip

			
				
believe me now?
sorry to sound truly negative but it is with best interest; but why would you be rfeleasing source code that is irrelevant to others to be able to check? if you are going to post a source code using a developement software thats minimally used to begin with? you might as well just make a simple layout, use buttons, and just load webviews to just load the mobile website for the developer console... as stupid as that may sound thats basically all i can truly think would be a good use for that because when its something as secure needed as the app developers developerconsole u will NEVER see too many people use random apps to access it, let alone using .shm and othe runknown file formats that dont open with notepad; so posting such soruce code is no use to any developer to "check for yourself" as it is still unccesable to the developers to check...
in other words basicly this topic should be marked as closed as there is no true way to check the legitmacy of this app and the codes submitted apon requested to see if its not malicious is irrelevant; as a google account hacking may be one thing; but a hacking to a developers console cannot be acceptible to other developers and thus why not many apps are made for the console as it just isnt trusted by other develoers to use unless it is really from "pub:Google inc." on google play

So for example, I use a different google account for google for play and store in the browser I'm not always logged accaunt with my App Maker wherefore I use this app because I do not have an extra logout. And I can only repeat it is not a hack app that would AppInventor with the impossible
Based on the screenshots it seems like the app is just a bunch of WebViews that load the mobile version of the Dev Console. That isn't much different from just loading the page in the browser....and there's the added security concern about stealing account credentials as someone pointed out earlier.
Also, if you're going to make your project open source, don't share a proprietary format. Share the raw java source code on Github.
If they tell me how happy ... in a normal app with eclipse but I knew this I did with AppInventor as I have already written ...

exactly! developers appericate when u "open source" to use a format we ALL can use and are comfortable with; i would prefeer even obfusticated java code that u need to route where all the things go thghen some random format they send out to use their program; but i have deminstrated to people in my local area that just because the app uses webviewsx it does not mean safe; there is still intents you can use to monitor keypresses in certain feilds (also why newer keyboard apps say they dont keep logs in their privacy notes because such things are known for keylogging)
and even if it is build in eclipse i dont feel i need to use an extention as he seems to make it sound like to just view it as i tried reading it in eclipse (as i removed notepad, wordpad, microsoft office so i can use eclipse on all documents) so even if i could see "the codes" why push your application to read the codes as even if u released the source, its still not readable without your extention program you made, and it may seem legitable to you as the developer (trust me on my app sms Tasks some things i do to it are questioned by some just for the fact its a sms-reciever client to control phones remotely with a pass phrase, u can see it in my sig for more details if u wanted further looks) but in regards to this not many people trust these things as you either need to use someone elses program to even read it, people dont trust random tools with little credits to it, and expecially when the app is sketchy and its logcats (and apk tool'd decompiled source codes when de-obfusticated) does show indeed this is WEBVIEWS but instead it also throws some exceptions, some exceteras, and a few more things then just loading a webview as it does, so im just saying that when you are doing stuff like these expecially something as secured needed as the developers console to release their apps, to release monitations, to make money and review statistics, not many people will trust a app to do so, and are even sketchy using mobile browsers to do so expecially from mobile internet (not wifi) as all networking is tracked from them and everything done on it even more then wifi-internet-compatible companies do even with VPN's and stuff theres some things that are truly not trusted in 3-rd party sources without true credibility, some people never trusted paypal in its early years due to it keeping logs of peoples creditcard information, social security information, and other details for tax-based incomes as even at its early times the encryptions used were minimal to what they have now
basicly if you read all the comments here, and all whats in them u will see that if you release the codes that made it, use it in a format we can all truly see and use as the sources u released are useless to debug or see its true credibility
Well said
-_- I gave you the source aso ....
