[Apps] The Seven+ Project

Roughly three weeks ago I decided to take the user interface library I was working on for Android to the next level in the form of The Seven+ Project. Myself, along with a number of other talented developers, are working on a suite of applications for Android using this user interface. Ultimately we are working to have this suite efficient, fluid, and interconnected. Do continue to check in on these applications as more features get added and bugs get fixed. We are always looking for feedback and bug reports. So check out our applications and our website and let us know what you think!
Unlike past initiatives we are a cooperative organization composed of independent developers, who, when using our using interface retain complete control over their applications. We are also about more than just copying; the PLUS in Seven+ is all about adding more features, customizations, and more.
Also a note to developers: we are looking for skilled developers that have made applications previously and want to adapt them using our user interface. Pretty much any standard application is fair game, so whether you have an email, calendar, set of widgets, or something else, if you want to make an application using our please contact us.
Links to a few of our applications:
- Launcher 7 by Timo Kujala
- Seven+ Calculator by Thomas Barrasso
- WP7Lock by Sami Musallam
- ZPlayer by Temitayo Odesanmi
- StatusBar+ by Thomas Barrasso
- Messaging7 by Omkar Deshmukh
Also follow us on Twitter, Google+, and check out sevenplusandroid.org.

Looks GREAT so far. I'm a fan of WP7-styled apps and I think this is a great project.
Thank you!

Haha ok so I don't know if you have any idea if what's going on but I downloaded the lockscreen to check it out (pretty cool btw) but went back to widgetlocker and everytime I press the home button it comes up with all my home apps and then I select one and I set it as default then when I launch a diff app and press home the ssame thing pops up. Its like the defaults keep getting cleared for some reason. Any idea what's going on?

In which way are you affiliated with the guys of WP7Android.com ?

@HearthC0re The closest thing to an affiliation is that some of the developers (notably those of ZPlayer and WP7Lock) are now part of our project. We are a collaborative organization of independent developers using a common user interface library that will hopefully make its way into a number of applications.
@dodgersrgood I suggest you send Sami Musallam an email as he is the developer of WP7Lock. His email is [email protected]
@xriderx66 Thanks, glad to hear it!

looks like an interesting project. keep it up

i think that you ought to offer a free version of your UI demo so that you can build some momentum support for your project. I think the windows phone UI is great and I would like to see it thuroughly baked into a rom, not just sitting on top of cm7 or something. Keep up the great work and I would encourage you to keep the community up to date with developments.
Also, there are some grammatical problems with your website.
Good luck!

@SimianJones I am not too sure about a ROM as we have neither a developer who knows where to begin, nor the honest desire. The problem with a ROM is that it would reach so many less people and require that one be built for each and every device. The UI I am building uses the Android SDK and is designed to work well with any application. While a ROM would be nice, it would have to be in the distant future when the UI is more mature, bug free, and when we find an interest in building a ROM.
Phew, that is enough of that. As far as updates, will do. We have/ are working on a better blog, our Twitter, mailing list, and more to keep those interested up-to-date.

I like the launcher but how do you add more homescreen?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I tried out the launcher and I like it. It does pose some problems with larger widgets. The launcher gives size options of one or two tiles. This squeezes 4 by x widgets making them harder, sometimes impossible, to use. For example, I can use BeWeather by using a larger font size in that widget's settings. I cannot use PocketBreeze because it cuts off the top of the widget and makes everything too small to see or tap, even with the large font.
I also noticed Launcher 7 pretty high on my list of app using the battery. I don't recall seeing my launcher high on the list, if at all. This is with a custom AOSP ROM, Gingerbread Deck.
This looks promising.

This looks like a great project. Keep up the good work

@Vertig Thank you!
@scottjb The developer of Launcher 7, Timo Kujala is aware of most of your concerns and working to fix them. With each update he hopes to use less memory and battery. He has also told me that he is working on a way of fixing widget sizing and such, but I am not sure how. Just pay attention to the updates and if possible purchase the donate version which gets updates earlier.

I just discovered that you all merged in this sevenplusnadroid project. Really nice to read. I eventually bought Launcher7 Donate 2 days ago so I could have latest update after using Free for a while.
Besides, I have battery drains and reading Launcher7 posts, some say it is, so I guess I found the culprit... but I won't stop using it (I made my own full WP7-style themed ROM including MMS, Notes, WhatsApp, Camera, Phone, Contacts and Calendar, although just themed them of course, so also installed Launcher7 and won't let it go).
Anyway, really waiting for the rest of your WP7 apps!! And you have my help here, although I think you all know much more!

Most probably, we don't have the same phone, since this isn't a specific phone's thread. Mine is a LG Optimus Black with NOVA ROM → WP7 Style
Just get any ROM you want and spend days and days theming it
I even made a WP7 keyboard (which looks MUCH more real and gorgeous than those "android wp7 keyboards and keyboard themes" that are published. But it's based in a paid app so...

Thanks for the response. I did purchase the donate version and am using Launcher 7 now. I look forward to the development of these apps.

how bout a good wp7 contacts app

Certainly looking for a developer who would want to work on a contacts application, but none is in the works currently.

This looks awesome. Very excited about this project. Played with launcher7 a bit
Thanks to everyone working on this.

Hey, great project.
But I'd like to request something.
Something, that every theme and project to resemble the Windows Phone 7 style.
A decent SMS app.
The only thing I found that resembled the style pretty good is this theme for MIUI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174126
which also themes the SMS app.
But, well, you need MIUI for it.
So, please, consider doing a nice SMS app in the style of WP7. We really need it.

Catapult Launcher Project

Hello everyone!
This project is for the Catapult Open Source Launcher or just Catapult for short
What is Catapult you may ask?
It is a launcher that I have started that is currently a port of the stock launcher and CyanogenMod's Trebuchet.
What does it do?
Not much ATM, but with the help of this great community it can do a lot
Currently I am the only developer on this project but I would love to get other devs involved as well. With help we can turn this into one of the most powerful launchers yet
Currently the sources reside at https://github.com/LG-Android-Coding/android_packages_apps_Catapult but if it picks up speed I'll move them to another place.
Please help in this project
Thanks!
Rashed

What are the aims/objective that will be different from other launchers currently?

I wish for it to be a powerful yet open launcher. The last one similar to this was ADW Launcher and hasn't been updated since 2010
There are many powerful launchers out there, but barely (if any) are open source
I aim to change that. Any feature you want, if you code it, we'll add it

I guess it will be up to us: What will this do that Trebuchet does not do (besides the name translation to English ?
The look is certainly similar (both draw from "stock"). Trebuchet has been ported to cm10, will likely try one lifted off another ROM.
Trebuchet's problem now is fragmentation. For cm9, I have found several downloads, mostly different. Some have properties right on the main properties pane (I prefer this), other have them buried somewhere under system properties (I have never found them), others have none (but honor my desktops). We should have one place, GIT or other download place, for Catapult current version.
Because of the common source and because many of us are using Trebuchet on cm9, it would be a great convenience and boost for Catapult if it honored the pre-existing Trebuchet desktops and settings. To be up and running after flash (or push), not having to fall back to adw, would be great!

Oh god, don't remind me of the ADW CM days...
As for honoring the Trebuchet desktops, I'll look into it. Mainly Catapult is basically a modified Trebuchet right now, but that changes soon (it's a secret what I'm doing )

must wait for secret....

I think ICS launchers (Stock/CM/Apex/Nova/Holo...) look and feel quiet similar. However SGS3 launcher has many advantages eg. able to create folders in the appdrawer, sort apps, hide apps... I like it very much. If we can have these plus themes, this launcher will be the best launcher.

Actually what i really would like to see here is speed, Im about to flash your CM10 and we both know the P500 is fairly underpowered but a very good work horse when it comes down to it. Theming should also be up there as a priority. Im gonna download the source and scratch around a little, if i get a theming solution, i will push it back to git. Simple things like frame/border colours, icons for now

If you get a working theme solution I will love you forever and ever
I'm simply out of time to try. School is a time hog...

This may end up a new thread if some Dev takes the -- multitasking launchers for small displays:
1. Tiled, side by side a la note 2. Resizing so do in paranoid.
2. Cascaded -- first one still relevant and maybe best: web OS, now open source. Resizing so for paranoid.
3. Pulse! This reader has elegant and usable interface. Can see a whole launcher based on this. But less radical and quite relevant here: the bottom program bar becomes slide-able and includes icons or thumbnails of active apps. Select or slide between as in pulse.

Did some searching around. There is a window-managing launcher around--looks like it runs its own utilities, though, browsers, editors and such. Probably no way to do this with regular apps without paranoid?

Apex has a card stack option--anyone used this? There are youtube videos of such things but nothing on Play.

There are several sliding taskbars around but from what I read of their descriptions, they are more customizable app-drawer subsets rather than task switchers. They also waste screen space with another taskbar--what I have in mind would use the regular one.

I think I'm just gonna let this die. No public interest at all. Might develop it on my own and if it gets good enough I might actually release it.

[MOD] SuperXE Spoiler -- some not-so-pure additions to SuperXE ROM

SuperXE Spoiler
This is just a flashable zip I originally created for myself to contain all I changed in my installation of SuperXE, thus "spoiling" the pureness of the ROM. Maybe someone else could like it, too, so I decided to add some explanations, disclaimers and credits and upload it here.
Every modification can be selected separately.​
Contents
XE Volume
This raises the sound volume of your device, for headphones to the level of the original Sensation XE, for the internal speaker to the maximum possible. The mod is described here.​
No battery indicator
This removes the stock battery indicator from the status bar, freeing up some horizontal space. Useful for example together with widgetsoid's battery notification icon. The mod is described here.​
Apex Launcher as default
This replaces the stock launcher with Apex Launcher. Useful to save space if you don't intend to use the stock launcher anyways. The Apex Launcher included in the zip is just an unmodified version of the apk from the market. If you like Apex Launcher, please consider supporting it by buying the pro version!​
Widgetsoid
This installs Widgetsoid as a system app. Widgetsoid needs to be installed as a system app for some features like one-touch GPS toggle. Included in the zip is just an unmodified version of the apk from the market. If you like Widgetsoid, please consider supporting it by buying the donate version!​
Cyanogenmod's cLock widget
This installs the (imho VERY neat) cLock widget (launcher and lockscreen) from Cyanogenmod. I recommend to install Apex Launcher and create an "Activity" shortcut to cLock preferences in order to configure it. But you can also launch cLock's preferences from the commandline: am start com.cyanogenmod.lockclock/.preference.Preferences​​
Credits
cile381 for the superb SuperXE rom
Android Does for Apex Launcher, a great enhancement of AOSP launcher
jaumard for Widgetsoid, best custom widget app I'm aware of
Cyanogenmod for their new cLock widget that's so neat and useful
mudhi for figuring out how to tweak maximum volumes on the Sensation
amarullz for the powerfull AROMA installer
Download
only for SuperXE 4.2.2 builds: SuperXE-spoiler_4.2.2-1.zip
only for SuperXE 4.2.2 Build 2: SuperXE-spoiler_4.2.2-build2-1.zip (removed)
​
Changelog
4.2.2-1: should now install and work on any SuperXE 4.2.2 build
4.2.2-build2-1: Initial release, only for 4.2.2 build 2
Remarks
This uses a custom built (linaro) AROMA that links dynamically, making the zip smaller. It expects recovery to have /sbin/linker and the glibc shared object. If there are any problems, please report.
If there are any issues with redistributing unmodified apks, please let me know, so I can remove them from the archive.

Thanks very much for your feedback
I'm not so sure about this request. As I wrote, this just started as a "convenience zip" for myself. I really want to use AOSP, so I didn't think about this kind of stuff, just some minor tweaks and enhancements for me.
That said: Maybe I'll have a look to see how deep theme chooser needs to "dig" into the system. If it's just a system app (and maybe some minor tweaks), I could add it as an option, but I doubt that. And I don't want to include deep complicated mods here, that would make it hard to maintain, so my feeling about this tends to: If you want themes, try albinoman's CM10.1 build

Makes sense, i completely understand..
But with that said, His ROM is too bloated for my taste. Yes, i can always download T-Backup and uninstall unneeded apps, but thats just a process i dont like doing -- Takes too much time. So, with that said (lol) I love TimV's ROM aka Codename Lungo.. He strips Albino's and Cile's ROM but i really want to flash an AOSP ROM. Dont like AOSP ROMS because i love my theme's haha.. Thats the only thing stopping me from flashing AOSP.
So once i saw this thread, i was like, "Hmm. this could be interesting, i could flash TimV's stripped AOSP ROM and then flash this bad boy" (i really like what you've done) then i saw there wasnt theme support for it and was like :crying:
haha, so this is why i asked what i asked. But like i said, i completely understand where you're coming from, nonetheless great job! Im happy that more and more people are developing/making things for the Sensation :victory:

What kind of custom features do you want for your Galaxy S4?

Well considering we have a good month to actually play with our phones before any real custom development begins, we could use this time to come up with ideas that would be great to have on custom ROM's specifically for the Galaxy S4. I myself believe the next two years are gonna be insane and month is nothing compared to the fun we are all about to have!
So let's hear, what do you want your GS4 to do that it can't do right now. I personally would like to see someone make use of air wave more effectively and air view.

I just want some SlimBean love.

4.2.2. Stock. That's all I want.

I want to be able to change themes on my phone with EASE!

Mass delete of the 14.7 million crapware apps that come pre-installed....

just to be able to mod the hell out of it battery,clock,wifi,themes etc.....have kick ass kernal with kick ass battery life...

Exactly what I was hoping for. There's no point in buying a phone with so many "exclusive features" and immediately flashing CM and having the exact same user experience you had on your last phone. I mean, do I love AOSP? Of course I do. But why not try to get the best of both worlds? Can't wait for it, akira!

I am generally happy with my S4. Screen is great, the features I am interested in, Navigation, Translation (sTranslate), tethering ( I am on the plan), Bluetooth, and many others working. I am waiting until my 2 week return period is over before rooting and then debloating. I am using Nova launcher and have had no problems with lag. I did find that the home button with the smaller lower bezel than my SIII sometimes causes me to hit one of the dock icons; will require getting used to. Here is what I don't like and would like to see change:
1.The phone dialer. the white is awful
2. Contacts. Also in white, awful
3. Battery icon. Would love to be able to change it.
4. I personally like the 4.1 lockscreen with weather and time. I installed dashclock and used that a one of my Lockscreen widgets but still am not happy. I would love to see the opportunity to change the lockscreen style and type.
I am sure that I will find others, but that is it for now.

All Samsung features with the look & customization of AOKP, PA, Rootbox or Xylon.

idea of the year right here
and i can't believe it wasn't implemented by samsung and shown off at all the demos..
almost every website on the net today incorporates hovering the mouse to expand menus, show list options, features, toggle content, etc
this i would argue is THE biggest shortcoming of not just android, but all mobility today. there's no solid solution to imitate this on a mobile phone.
the galaxy s4 is the first phone which can overcome this shortcoming with its ability to support scree hovering. but what did Samsung choose to implement instead? a zoom in option baked into their stock browser .. which they removed flash support for, crippling one of the biggest breakthroughs in mobile innovation we've seen yet.
any developer who implements this will make front page of xda for sure

Extended desktop mode, the status bar takes up to much screen real estate. Pie controls love them on my nexus 4!

Id love to be able to re-map the double-click of the home button. More options to edit toggles. No need to have that many toggles Im never going to use. Dark themes throughout UI. More apps that can be utilized in Multi window. Using the calculator with the browser or banking apps for example. Swipe the status bar for brightness control, no need to have the slider taking up space in the notification drawer. Swipe between tabs on phone app, same in any other tabbed touchwiz apps. Let me use Wallet dammit!
Love the idea of AOSP/touchwiz mashup. There actually are some features Id like to keep. Too bad Samsung's design team is still stuck on Gingerbread aesthetics...

Remote
A cool feature would be a timed t.v. remote to go off say at 6:30 to wake me up for school

Some PA love would be ideal! DPI changes are necessary with this awesome screen! Plus PIE and Halo would be awesome to have! Oh and remapping of hw buttons is a must for me.

[ROM][AOSP][4.3.2.1.000.000] OpenMaster Nightlies [grouper]

I will be compiling AOSP's master branch (almost) nightly. This branch is, at times, very unstable and can have many issues. Most issues cannot be fixed without upstream changes.
I guarantee no stability or the fact that your device will work. It's your choice to use this. Don't blame me for something that goes wrong (even though nothing probably will).
You will need to flash Gapps in order to use the Play Store. You can get Gapps from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

I may make another ROM at a later time that is a tweaked master branch, but for now, this is staying pure AOSP. I haven't seen any frequently maintained master branch builds, and I think that the n7 community needs that. It's nice to have an up-to-date build of what Google is working on.
And remember, if there's a super awesome feature you think it oughta have, maybe AOSP will merge your contribution!

Features I was thinking of were mostly addons & some performance some ui tweaks which I don't think an aosp purist would likely agree on:
Cpu/ I/O memory management
Battery bar (miui, not a big break away from stock but not important)
Quick Settings toggles: extra buttons
Nav bar button editing
Kill app on long press of back button
Recent apps clear all & memory display
Battery statusbar options (I've always used %)
Statusbar clock settings (right/centre)
Some of those are purely subjective but things like kill app on long press, QS and navigation button settings should be built into the aosp source IMO. I get your philosophy behind this and I don't mind the missing features but I don't think I can keep pure aosp for very long after being spoiled with so many feature rich roms over the last few years
There are many people who would appreciate this though so I hope it gets the respect it deserves. Thank you!

Essentially, yes. As I am sure you probably understand, each git repo can have multiple branches and Google creates a branch after each stable release. However, they also have a working branch that they push to frequently (many times per day) with changes called "master" and this is a nightly build of that branch. So, this is like the stock ROM, except it is on their working branch, not their 4.2.2 branch. In the build files, this is referred to as "OpenMaster", and Android version 4.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.
You'll notice some features that aren't in the stock ROM and you'll notice some (but not all) of the features reported to be in the 4.3 ROMs.
This branch tends to be slightly less stable, but it also is very interesting to use. I use it as my daily driver and have for awhile. There are some bugs, but they tend to get squashed within a few days.
If you want to see a changelog, check AOSP review.

I have two more questions:
- How can I get notifications about updates?
- How can I build the Master branch for my Galaxy Nexus?
Oh and btw. good rom! It is really interesting to test those new features and have some bugs.

Sorry, but at this time, you'll need to check the downloads page daily (probably around 10PM GMT-5 I'll have done it if I will) to see if I've posted a new build for the day. Maybe I will later make an app and put it in the Play Store and it will notify you when a new build is posted.

You'll need to sync AOSP and it includes the source for GNex. You'll need to download the proprietary files separately and unzip them. If you have questions, PM me. Also, http://source.android.com/source/building.html may be of some help.

Thanks! I literally just synced the source and built it, but thank you.

Getting a late start on today's build. It should be up in about 1 hour.
Edit: It's up.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll consider those if I ever work on another ROM. In the meantime, let's keep thread fully focused on AOSP and this ROM. I really do appreciate the suggestions.

I have respect for the stock aosp. If I could pick only one feature though it would be one in forgot to mention "statusbar brightness slider" I use it so much I forget it's there.
I can live without those though, I'm glad to see openmaster working on the n7 and I'm going to try to live e without the frills! Thank k's for this pure rom,

Check out this handy tool. I'm usually anti widget but this lil tool is amazing for setting a brightness slider anywhere on the screen.
I've used it since way back before the status bar mod was available and I still use it pretty often if the ROM doesn't have it included.
Can be configured I'm about every way possible.

OpenMaster with 4.3 (officially versioned as 4.3.2.1.000.000) is available for download. Grap the latest nightly here.
SuperUser is almost definitely not working; additionally I cannot confirm how well the gapps package works with 4.3.
This release is 4.3 plus what you see merged on AOSP Code Review.
This build was made with the 4.2.2 proprietary binaries. A build with the 4.3 proprietary binaries will be released later today.
Edit: The build available (AOSP-OpenMaster-kalaker-grouper-20130724-fixed_binaries.zip).

IMPORTANT: As of 20130724, the OpenMaster builds are based on Android 4.3. With Google's official release of Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 (grouper), a new bootloader, version 4.23, was released. OpenMaster builds after 20130724 have only been tested with the new bootloader. No support will be provided for users of the older bootloaders.

Just to be clear apps like adaway won't work since it requires root?

That is correct.

Is this JSS15J or JWR66V?

It's neither. It's not 4.3. It's newer.

So this rom not rooted can we just flash the updated supersu?
