What do you think about the migration to Couchbase: will it be the best way for synchronization of data across devices?

Hi there! We are a group of iPhone / Android developers who have developed a suite of web services to assist us and other developers in building great apps.
After numerous projects we have become tired of having to set up the server scripts to do all the same things for different clients. Most of the server functionality
is typical: 1) storing location data for Google Maps; 2) storing users' high scores / ranks; 3) sending Push Notifications; 4) storing files / XML; etc.
We couldn't use the existent solutions because in some cases they didn't provide the required functionality and in most cases they require your users to be exposed to some social network of theirs, while our clients just want a simple functionality without users knowing of any services behind that.
So we have launched what we call Mob1serv, a universal server solution for the typical needs of iPhone / Android apps. It consists of modules which deal with most common tasks:
• High Scores - a powerful online high scores table
• PushNote - a module allowing to send immediate or delayed Push Notifications (you can build instant messengers or alarm clocks, anything with this)
• GeoPos - stores locations of Google Map objects, their statuses and 'last seen online' time
• OAuth contracter - allows you to implement transparent authentication and integration with Facebook, Twitter, Google etc
• More modules to come!
We have tried to make it as simple as possible for developers, so you just need to register at the back end and then you can add as many apps as you want and start using these services. From the client (app) side, you need to add a library to your project and put a corresponding ID there, that's it.
The service is free, it's a 'freemium' model. It has been built by developers for developers. Some developers and apps are already using it as it was open for alpha testing before, but now we are launching it open for the world so that we can see what you're thinking of it and also get your feedback of how we can improve the existent modules or what modules to add next. Welcome to Mob1serv - mob1serv.com!
I am working on putting together an app to develop and was wondering what the best features successful apps include? Its similar to foursquare in that it uses check-in technology, but around that, what would be key features that draw people to use an app?
This app is currently running and working on the Skyrocket using Embryo 5.1 Big thanks to Fahrbot for making this work for ICS users currently a feature like this is only going to working for JB only
Please Make sure to show your support to Fahrbot by purchasing this app Pro key
As featured on Lifehacker, Engadget, XDA Developers and many more!
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.
Some of the benefits of this technology:
Privacy - Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.
Kids - Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.
Gaming - Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games
Speed - Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.
Testing - Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!
Battery - Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.
CRITICAL USAGE WARNING:
Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.
CM 10 is not officially supported and milage will vary.
READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES
Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.
Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.
Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.
Stay tuned for new features, and please rate the application by pressing the star button on the main screen - good ratings help us improve and expand functionality!

CalDAV Tasksync beta free is a free app which can be used to get your tasks and todolists from your own CalDAV Server to your Android device.
FEATURES
Manage tasks which are stored on your CalDAV servers.
Supports displaying recurrent tasks
Filtering and ordering of your task list
Automatic CalDAV task storage detection
Automatic and manual sync
And much more
Please only rate already existing features and keep in mind that this is only beta. I will constantly update this and add new stuff and improvements!
PLANNED FEATURES
Additional translations
Categories and Location
Widget
Tablet UI
Editing and two sync sync
And much more
LIMITATION
Currently the app only supports it that to sync tasks from your server and not the other way. I have spared this feature because I want to release it combined with a nice handling of changed (e.g. edit or delete) on recurring tasks. But this is a lot of work (I also have invested many hours in preparations for this feature) so probably I will release the two way sync independently and add the recurrence handling later! Stay tuned. Currently the UI focuses mainly on phones, but future releases will also bring additional enhancements for tablets.
OPEN SOURCE
I'm planning to release this as an open source project as soon as I feel that the codebase is advanced enough for this step.
BETA
Please keep in mind that this is only a BETA so there can be issues. I have invested a lot of time into testing it so hopefully there wont be any bugs
FREE
The app is available for free

The inital release is now available
Apologies if this question is naive as I don't have much technical
knowledge.
I am sure that many of you are aware of projects like PostmarketOS
that aim to provide a longer life cycle for devices, among many reasons
to reduce the environmental impact of needlessly creating new devices.
They are doing this by building the everything from scratch and have
just gotten devices to boot, with their goals being to build up support
for features slowly, starting with the most essential.
So my question is are there attempts in the interim to essentially meet
them from the other end. By creating ROMS for older devices keeping only
the essential features updated.
i.e. Keep providing android feature updates and security updates for old
devices. But...
If a feature is not supported by the older hardware, remove it.
If a proprietary blob is not update-able and posses a security risk then
get rid of it.
for e.g. loose the camera blobs and of-course all photo/ video features.
If and when someone creates support for the feature or updates the missing
blob then add the support back in.
Are there still technical challenges with supporting even the most basic features
like calls/ sms / clock/ gmail etc?
Or is it simply that such a ROM has no demand?
