Hi there,
I'm searching for an app to learn playing piano.
My idea of the functionality is as follows: I'd like to use my own, real-life piano with the app on the android-tablet providing the sheet of music. The student plays the music from the given sheet of music. The app analyzes the played notes with the integrated microphone in the tablet. Correct/Incorrect played parts will be marked respectively.
All the existing apps I found just work by simulating a real piano on the touchscreen of the tablet. I'd like to have to connection to the real thing, as described. Perhaps somebody can point me to a better implementation or at least I could inspire someone!
Kind Regards,
airflow

I'm really sorry, but my investigations didn't turn out anything usable. I once downloaded and tried a lot of piano-learning apps, but not a single one with the needed functionality. But please keep in mind that it's already some time ago and the app-landscape can change quickly (as I learned in other similar cases)
Did you have any luck?

Hi Guys,
I’m looking for a good tide prediction app to use on my HD2 when I’m out fishing. I’ve had a play with ctide but it doesn’t get on with the HD2 very well. It works but the screen layout is a bit screwed up.
Please google ctide for info. I tried to post a link to the site but the forum rules won't let me!
What I'd ideally like is somebody much smarter than me to tweak the code to work on the HD2 (and rotate when i move the HD2) or take the xtide reference data that ctide uses and write their own wonder app.
I hope somebody fancies this challenge and gives it a go. I'll happily test and report back on any apps people come up with.
Thanks guys!
Hi,
i don't know, if it fits your needs, but have a look at http://iphone.magicseaweed.com in opera mobile. you need an internet connection, because it is a website, but you can see worldwide swell charts, period charts, wind charts and city based forecasts on a day-by-day base including the tide.
greetings,
malte

I'd like to have an application like that as well - also for fishing

Same here. I miss the TideApp on my G1. I hope cTide isn't all there is to offer. I really need a tide app for fishing as well. I hate looking through the book and calculating.
Add me to the request list. And my request is for more than just fishing. I'm a Hydrographic Surveyor and need to know what the tides are doing on a daily basis.
Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is that my wife has a Tide Prediction on her Iphone and there's nothing for WinMo?!?!?
There's even one for Android now??

Hi guys, I'm new to xda-developers. Can anybody help me which android apps are mostly widely used now a days...
Thanks in advance...
Your question is a little broad. Games? Productivity? Flashing?
I think most people on this forum would agree that Titanium Backup is near the top of any list.
Seems like everyone but me is playing Angry Birds.
Most people get a lot of use out of the Music apps. And if you have functioning GPS (you should be able to get there from studying the posts on the forum) you'll get a lot of use out of Google Maps and Navigation.

Thanks for the reply, Soccer_Dad.
Well, I'm asking about the Android Games. I've bought a new android mobile and I don't know what games to be played. I like adventurous kind of games.
Can u suggest me some websites...?

Thanks a ton PhilDsT and Jamay for the your support.
Can I know which is best among Android, Iphone, Blackberry, Symbian and others. I've searched a lot for this, but I can't get right answer.
Of course this is not a poll, I'm just waiting for someone telling me the effective answer.
Thanks in advance.
I will try with my simple english (and a little help from google =)
(for thanks, there is a button at the bottom right of each post)
This is not a poll, this is a troll
There is no best mobile operating system, and no right answer...
That depend on your needs, android is open (a little free), iOS is closed (but can be open), Symbian doesn't have the success it deserve and i don't know blackberry.
My favorite is AOSP ; android open source project (with custom rom), because I find all apps I need and all mods I need...
@ Jamay......Sorry for my bad English......

Thanks found this very helpful. There is a lot out there nice to see what others are using and like.
I have been programming with Java for about 6 years now. I am currently getting my masters in college for Computer Science (Programming).
I just finished reading the book Hello, Android by Ed Burnette. It was a pretty good book I must say and got me on my feet towards developing for an Android device. For those who do not know the book, each chapter you gradually build a Sudoku game. In the later chapters it discusses some openGL, sound, video. Overall the game is pointless and a waiste.
I never really liked game programming, I wish to do something such as tools, or a feature. However I have hit a roadblock and do not know where to go from here or what to read. I get the structure of the app, the XML setups, etc but the book did not give me a good enough background on the Android System for what I would like to do.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help in advanced.
Travmanx I think the way to go from here is use your Java experience to assist in unlocking these phones. I know these guys that are doing the hard work would appreciate all the help they can get.

I'm very new to android programming too and I agree there does seem to be a big gap in going from the usual tutorials and guides to really getting your feet wet and digging into proper coding.
I think the key here is to think of a simple idea and start to program it, by choosing something simple you can get the basics working quickly, while still giving you room to experiment further with extra features and improvements later on (where the real learning happens).
As to what idea... that is more difficult, I would suggest you do something which you will use so that you've got a drive to keep working on it and improve it.
i.e. If you travel, then a quick currency converter could be useful...if you play tennis then perhaps a score board...it doesn't matter much as long as the incentive is there to code it.
Look forward to hear what you decide to write!

first of all +10 for ^ meltwater
i did an app to (scoreboard) for a card game, instead of using paper and pen.
then:
i am a Java Developer to,
and recently started doing some android apps
i already have 2 of them in the market...
i am just like you, don't like to do games, i prefer tools and other staff...
however, my point is, whenever you can build an app whatever it is,... all you need now is an idea
try to find an idea and start developing it, and on every problem you face try to dig and fix it, then continue on ur main target... otherwise i don't see any advantage of reading more books, because you have to find something to do, then try to find how to do it (based on your input with 6 years java dev)
otherwise i think you will get lost.
my opinion, find an idea and start with it, then fix every block you face.
Good Luck
Hi Devs,
This one is for you:
After having had some time with Mango on my HD2 to test and discuss with my wife, we decided to buy her a Mozart and upgrade it to Mango.
Only after doing so, we discovered, that music cannot be set as Ringtone. Please, do not tell me tales of all the little helpers used to create ringtones and sync them via zune etc.
I also have already found a nice App (easyRing) on the market, which lets one grab plenty of tones from the amazon mp3-preview store and set them as ringtones. nice idea actually.
But we are looking for an App, that offers the following 2 basic features:
- Pick a song from the Library on the phone, clip down to 39 or less seconds.
- Save as Ringtone/Set as Ringtone (actually this is two features, the first being a native mango command for Apps).
Anyone interested in developing this?
That'd be THE KILLER.
Actually i totally underestimated this feature. I never ever thought that this could actually be a buy/not decisive. My wife wants to get rid of the phone fast no matter what. the only way making her keep this is to have this feature available. She actually likes the OS. Weird, isn't it?
So, what's keeping you? Off you go kids!
The phones music library isn't accessible by third party apps so it's not possible right now.

Snickler actually is working on this already. His app r1ng3d is out for a while and has the features you find in easyRing. He is currently working on
Soon v1.2
* Localized strings.. I need translations for different languages. PM me.
* Ringtone creation on device (I freaking hope!)

wow. I have seen that app of Snickler but i didn't notice how close it came to my request.
Am gonna go check it out now. Thanks for pointing that out.
@Ren13B
And the library is not accessible by third-party apps? This is why? Where did you get this information from?
I am aware of this new command for Mango-Builds, "save as ringtone", as some MS Person pointed that out in a blog. Why shouldn't there be a way to access a song and apply that function onto it (i wonder).
[EDIT]
Since i have talked to Snickler and found out that he is working on just THAT feature i consider this threads purpose being served. unfortunately i haven't checked Snicklers R1ing3d before. Could have spared this thread.
So this just is a jumper to the mentioned thread. People looking for this function finding my Thread may want to go there. Have fun. Thanks for dropping by
Hi there,
I'm new to this android stuff, I use a... Uh, okay I use a different phone...
I'm blind and am exploring android with one goal... To see again. Okay, maybe that was a little over blown but let me explain before asking for some help from you lovely people.
There is an app called 'the vOICe', by seeing with sound, their home page here:
(Noticed I can't post links, do a search for seeing with sound and the voice and you'll find the one, it's also on the app market, just don't mistake it for the app accompanying the TV series...)
Who are using a system to help blind see. In a nutshell, it scans an image from left to right and layers sound using different frequencies to represent the image. I'm sorry if I'm a bit vague about this as I've not really had a chance to fully experiment with it. In short, it turns visual images into sound and it would appear that some fantastic results are coming from it and actual stimulation of the visual cortex is happening. In effect, the android device is the a to d, and the user's brain is the d to a. Amazing.
The problem is, currently it's not very usable. It can process a live stream from a video camera built into an android device but, of course, no one wants to wonder around with a 6 inch sudo-tablet strapped to their forehead. There was some excitement with the idea of google glass, however, aside from it not coming to light, I'd not really want to spend several hundred pounds on a device which I can use for just one thing. Okay, now the specifics...
I want to be able to route a webcam, or a similar camera into an android device, the device to accept the images from the camera and to process them into sound using the vOICe app. From what I understand from the Doctor who is pushing this forward and the inventor of the system, android does not yet allow external cameras to act as the native camera device. Can you help?
My perfect rig, and I'm making the huge assumption that it's the rig that most blind people would settle for, is the phone in my pocket, a hat or headband containing a camera, and a pair of headphones, preferably bone conduction as they give better awareness.
My question, my request is for someone to help make my device accept a video camera through usb and use the vOICe app to process the image.
Thank you in advance.

PS... I'm new to all of this, so I apologise if I've posted in the wrong place. If admins could move this post to the right place if I have messed up, I'd be very grateful.
