Description- Looking at something worth taking a picture of? Use PhotoSwap and send your picture immediately to another randomly selected PhotoSwap user. In exchange, you'll get a picture from him. You can reply to each picture you receive with another picture. PhotoSwap lets you engage in a real photo-based conversation.
Each picture taken has one and only one recipient. Be surprised by a unique glimpse into someone elses life.
Any thing like this for Windows Mobile??
Could something like this be made?
I like this but dont want to get an iphone to use this app,
i'd put money on it that people would start sending 18+ images. Problem with that is that kids will start to use the service so they can get dirty images.
Haha they have u get like banned for like a week on the version from the iphone. E-mailed the Maker of the App. Says there considering it but no plan of action yet..
Sounds like MMS......
I would love for an Android PhotoSwap clone. That would be awesome.
is there now an app like photoswap?
greetings from Ger
there is always pic swap, but needs updating badly.
(not so) long time reader, first time poster
Ive been working on a Photoswap clone for Android recently after being annoyed at how much Picswap crashes. While not 100% complete, the only real issue so far is that it relies upon a php/mysql web host for hosting the images during transit, which I don't have the funds for. Im going to look at free php/mysql hosts, however I don't know how far they can be trusted. The app so far works better than Picswap, as it offers (without force closing) the following:
- Take a photo and swap it with someone elses
- Send a reply photo back to the person who you last received a photo from, and receive reply photos from others
- Press the 'search' button to autofocus the camera
- All commands available by pressing the menu button, they do not take up screen real estate
The app still needs some polishing, as do the PHP scripts that run on a web server to handle the transfer of files, but otherwise its ready to go (if/when I can afford/find a suitable host for it)
On another note:
I ran wireshark and figured out how picswap operates and could easily make a copy of my app that interfaces with picswaps server, although it would lose out on photo replies. When picswap seems to say the image is corrupt, it looks like the image is not actually corrupt, it is just picswap not able to process it. Ive been able to access the picswap network via a php script to upload an image to it, and receive an image from it, and all images that I have received from it load fine (although some are very high resolution, while others are much smaller in size)
wow this will be really cool, i hope it is just as good as on the iPhone, and "your" programm also receive pictures of iphones!
sry 4 my english !

It won't send/receive photos with iPhone users as I don't have details of how the iPhone app communicates If you have an iPhone (or have access to one) and you are able to run a packet sniffer on the app, Id be happy to look at modifying my app to interface with the iPhone photoswap server
I have uploaded the neccessary scripts to run from a free web host for now, however I cannot post a link to the APK here yet as a new forum user. As there are (obviously) no users of it yet, there arent many images available (Im seeding some into it myself), but with enough users I don't foresee any issues with a lack of photos being seeded into it.
The apps also not complete, and given that its running off a free web host I don't know how long it will currently run before they shut-off the hosting In which case I would need to recompile it with a new host setup. I have developed the app using the Android 2.1 SDK and tested only on a HTC Legend (unrooted). I don't believe there is anything present that would stop it working on other Android handsets/versions, but as I have not tested on anything else I cannot guarantee compatibility.
As Im a new user, Im not able to post links to outside sites until I have been verified by a moderator, however if you PM me your email address I'll be happy to email you APK file (not sure if Im able to PM links to outside sites?)
This sounds great! I'm excited to see how it turns out. Especially if you can get it to interface with the iPhone users as well. If you could send me the APK file, Ciela, that would be really awesome. I have a Droid, so Ill definitely let you know how well it works with that. Ill PM you my email address now. Looking forward to seeing it in its completed form as well.
Ive sent it across to you now
Apparently the app does not run well on the Samsung Galaxy S, whether or not it is related to the lag issues that SGS has is unknown though. It runs fine on my HTC Legend, and I assume it will run fine on other HTC devices as well. Hopefully works well on other non-HTC devices
If I can get access to an iPhone to run a packet sniffer on Photoswap, I don't imagine it would be difficult to integrate with that.
Hi Ciela,
I've got access to an iPhone with Photoswap, and all the tools I require to dump all the packets you'd ever need from Photoswap's transactions. I've also got access to a Galaxy S and a HTC Desire to use for testing.
If you need a hand, give me a shout and I'll devote a fair chuck of my time to helping you get this off the ground, be it by cloning Photoshop or starting something new from the ground up.
It may be wise that if you decide to clone Photoswap, that you get in touch with the developers and see if they're happy for you to go ahead. It'd sure give the Android Photoswap community a great head-start, being merged with the iPhone community. You never know, they may be happy to divulge the API data to you if they like the idea. Without yet dumping any packets, I'd imagine it's all done over HTTPS though, so Padadaz's co-operation would probably be a good thing.
If you decide to go your own way, I've got about 750GB HDD space free on my Xen node, so could spin you up a Debian VM if you need one.
Shout me if you need anything,
Chris
I too would like a copy to test, I have a rooted Desire and Galaxy Tab
I used to use PhotoSwap when I had an iPhone
Hi all,
I'm a noob app developer trying to do it for the first time. I'm trying to create an event calendar app for company's internal purposes. So that everyone in the company (which uses a lot of android phones) can be updated on company events that are coming up.
My approach is to create a database with MySQL for events input, and to use PHP to connect the database which is in a server and to push it to the android devices that are used in the office as that's how I found it in a tutorial from HelloAndroid.
My questions are:
1. is this the best approach to create such app?
2. Can I use Android's default calendar to input these events? if not is there some kind of calendar template that I can use to display the information to the users.
Probably will have more questions as I progress, but please help if anyone is more experienced in these matters than I am.
Thank you very much, and really appreciate the inputs that I'm gonna get
A simple solution would be to use Google Calendar.
By using GC you can add/edit events either from a PC (work or home) or your Mobile anywhere in the World.
All that is required is for someone to first set up the calendar on Google and push it out to all those who you want to see it.
This way you are not isolating anyone who does not have an Android Phone.
that's a really good point. Especially in a closed environment like an office. I didn't think of that before. THank you very much.
However, if let's say I want to try to build an app for that for public use, not just confined to limited numbers of people in a company.
Would that be the best approach or if there's any better way to approach it. I may decide to build the app after all just to learn and gain experience in app development.
thanks again for the feedback, really appreciate it.
I can't really give you advice on developing an App sorry.
All I can say is the method I mention is the one which I use to keep all my Operational Team (Surgeons/Doctors/Nurses/Admin/etc) updated and advised.
There's nothing short in you developing your own Calendar App but you would have to ensure it would be available to all and that includes anyone anywhere regardless of the fact they are at work, home, holiday, with Android or not, have a Phone, PC, Mac, etc... etc...
For that there's already a stable tool by the name of Google Calendar.
If you do develop one I'd still be interested in seeing what ideas you could bring into practice that would have a benefit over GC.
I understand your point of view, and actually you got me thinking, maybe if I really want to do the apps, I can create an app that calls the Gcalendar events, and display it from the app. I can find out the API to do that, and that would be much simpler.
Thank you again for your input, really appreciate i

No problem.... I wish you well on your venture.
Do please let us all know how you get on.. You never know, if it becomes that good I may even use it myself over the stock calendar App or any of the other's that already link to GC.
Is it possible to send anonymous MMS?
First of all I have the curiosity if it´s possible and if YES, I would like to know how this can be done with Android.
Thanks in advance!
So, I change a little bit the question
Is it possible to send anonymously a MMS? Generally speaking ...
Depends, you could try to use an app, Text Free, and set up an anonymous info. Or you can try to use an email to send a sms/mms. Pretty easy actual and seems like a better route too. Just gotta find out what services provider the number your trying to send the mms too.
Ill pick an example:
So lets say my friend has Verizon and I wanted to send them a Pic.
I would use 10 min email for a fake email.
http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html
Compose email with this as your blueprint:
Verizon [10-digit phone number]@vtext.com
[10-digit phone number]@vzwpix.com (MMS)
Example: [email protected]
[email protected]
This is a list of other carriers:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/email-to-sms/
Attach pic and send away.
Anonymous as that gets and no trails back you.
Happy sendings. Let me know if that works for you.
As a precaution I would test send to your self just in case of unexpected feedback or worse.

Oh and for phone use, use email setup with the email
Thanks a lot for answer. I'll give a try in the next days and I'll come back with a conclusion. For the moment I'm struggling with understanding some things regarding 10 Minute Mail and those links, but time is my friend for the moment.
Thanks again!
Any other suggestion is welcome!
Answer
So, finally I have found an answer to my question.
@masterchiefb117
I have tried your solutions but none of them helped me. But, thanks for your efforts. In the end, trying what you have told I found some other answers So, not always you get what you want.
After some researches I´ve discovered an web-site that allows me to send MMS as anonymous or with a different nick The delay was minimum possible, I think, took just seconds! Since I am not allowed to post external links I´ll give only the name of this site -> WIZDROP (here is a share-knowledge and not advertising)
Actually, this site gave me the answer Yes, it´s possible to send MMS anonymously!
Enjoy sending, but do not abuse
I was recently looking for a way to do this as well and found out that there are some limited options. I found for Android, you can use an app called "Ghostly | Anonymous MMS" that will work to send anonymous MMS to most US based phones.

I know this might be the wrong place to ask (and any suggestions of a better place would be much appreciated), but I was hoping one of you would be able to help me out.
I've been using the official Twitter client because of it's ability to notify me of individual tweets. Like, when I mark someone with the star and when they tweet, I get an individual notification for each person who's marked with a star.
Now, I haven't been able to find any other client that can or will do this. Fenix will give me one notification with multiple tweets listed, but when I touch it, it just takes me to my general Twitter timeline. I couldn't seem to get the Falcon Pro one to work at all. :-/
Does anyone:
a) know what I'm talking about
b) know of an app that does this besides the default client
c) know if it's possible for an app to do this, or if this is one of those features that Twitter makes impossible for devs
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Lol
Here is what I want to do. I would like to mod the Netflix app to also have a Facebook login just like the web version. It sounds simple but I am sure it is much harder than I think it is. I tried myself but my knowledge is not sufficient to do so. Any help would be appreciated. When you login the regular way you don't see any friends recommendations and well I think it is something Netflix should consider doing. Any ideas?
It depends what the mobile client uses for authentication, if it's the same as the website then you can try adding it by decompiling the app and creating your own version of it. However it would be a bit of a challenge.
Before you start anything, just send them an email about it as well asking for it to be a feature.

I have decompiled the app but like I said Java is not my thing. If someone wants to take a look at it I will post it here. Looks like I got in way over my head on this one.
Watch the warez talk please. Thread cleaned of a couple posts concerning an app that hacks paid apps.
Thanks,
