Hi,
Don't know if this is the place but I fancy the thought of helping with the development of an android app or game.
I just want to take part in the growing android market.
And because I know very little about programming, I wish to make this announcement:
For more than five years I worked as a graphic designer and I am a currently unemployed. I am specialized within all areas of design from user interface to web design and 3D. Therefore, I want to take part in in any app or game.[/B]
I will not work for free if the app is a paid app or has in app purchasing.
rplus4immer[at]yahoo[dot]com is my email.
All the best,
N.
Nice gesture and great initiative.
Still here.
i offer mine too! can we collaborate in one big group ?
can i help.. maybe i can test it loll
I'm currently working on mClock but I have also been looking into doing a super metroid style game if you're interested in helping me.
Hello, if you wanna make a new UI for the FriendsRadar App on the Android Market, we give it for free, and put the names of the collaborators on the About screen.
Let me know.
I already was contacted by a few folks and took on my first project. I hope others will follow. Don't be shy to ask for my help for whatever graphics you would need, though .
Replied to everybody who contacted me to this date. Hope I didn't miss anyone
Thank you all.
I'm an Android and iOS app developer in need of some graphic designers to design some icons and glyphs.
Well, let's see it. Send me via email the details of the free app so I can play around with it and see what can be done.

kudos to you for doing this

Do you have an iDevice to test it out on? The iOS version is actually much more mature than the Android one and I'm planning on releasing the iOS version first.
No, I don't. As I stated, I want to help the development of free android apps and games.
If whatever you are developing has a free android version, I'm the man to see.
Now available mainly for hard body (lowpoly or not) 3D Modeling/Texturing.
Sadly, I am now unemployed and I will have a greater amount of free time on my hands.
I will now also take on paid projects as well ( where the case ). So feel free to drop me a line.
Thanks!
Did you guys see that on the g Tablet site under favorites, they mention xda as a site you should visit?

If that does not instill confidence in our devs I don't know what will!
That was a pretty cool day. Realistically it saved them tons of money sending people rather than Fielding questions and bug reports on their stock II.

Pretty amazing. It seams like this industry spends most if it time trying to stop people from using resources like XDA. Its really refreshing that they are backing the hobbyists even if its indirectly.
VS site has referred users here pretty much from day one.
They added that around the same time they released 3389, in December.
3389 was the first release with the "classic" interface, and I firmly believe that the complaints from users (XDA or otherwise) probably pushed them into that direction.
Notion Ink (makers of the Adam tablet) also added a nod to their blog, after we ported their UI and apps over to the GTAB.
Hey guys,
I have been an active member in the i9500 forum for quite some time now. I'm proud of the way our existing developers have made us a usable, in fact almost stable CM11 ROM. I applaud them for their genuine efforts. But I recently got the Nexus 5 and previously had the Galaxy S3 i9300. Being an avid flasher, I cant help but feel dissatisfied with the level of development we have for our current device.
So what I propose is this. Let's request developers to come and develop for us. Let's send mails, post in other forums, tweet to them and do whatever it takes. We have a solid base in CM already. I'm sure we can have at least some devs who'd be interested in coming and developing and look at this device as a challenge. I have already started this process with inviting Yank (those with S3 would be familiar with his work). He says he's bogged down with other devices but I'm sure if enough of us request him, he'll help us with his work.
Lastly, I'd like to thank @Alberto96, @runedrune, @intervigil, @AndreiLux, @al_iraqi, @iamsachin and everyone else who has contributed to this device.
Please post your thoughts or comments below. Let's take this initiative to make our device supported by maximum number of developers.

I agree but i think we should find the best developer's in the whole forum and ask them if they would like to help us if he wants then we should donate to get him an i9500 for the work

Let's bring it to the notice of developers of AOKP, Slim ROMs, PAC and others that we have an almost stable CM 11 base rom. I'm sure they'd be interested in supporting another device.

What exactly do you want as "development "? I keep seeing such complaints and mostly it's just hot air without ever any concrete feature request or technical insight in what's being demanded.
We don't need development for the sake of development. Other forums are riddled with crap upon crap of ROMs and stuff with everybody doing their own thing, and it's 80% nonsense and useless.
Then there's the nature and demographic of the userbase on this device; which in my opinion leaves much to be desired. I single-handedly brought up all the kernel stuff myself from scratch, but it feels like it didn't matter anyway because there's no audience for it save the few souls who really care. Not to mention <5 donations in the last 5 months, which will certainly cause me to sell this device in the next few months instead of keeping it so that I can offset the next purchase. The US/EU community was much more fun to work with.
So again, what do you really want? There's by now a bug-free AOSP tree and I'm keeping a fully featured kernel up. If you want development then work with the existing people, because frankly asking other devs to come in and magically fulfill your expectations seems overly dismissive of the existing options and reeks a bit of ignorance towards the notion of developments in general.

I respect your work. And I am actually amongst the handful people who use your kernel. But that doesn't mean that I'm happy with having one custom kernel and one custom rom. Every rom has its unique feature and every developer has his own signature. I love PA hybrid and Halo, I love AOKP ribbons and I love The Real Dark Slim. That's why I want these developers to come and develop for us. I thank you for your work and wish you don't abandon this device either. As for donations, I'm sure it's not donations that these developers work for. It's just a reward for them if someone donates.
No disrespect but everyone has their own point of view. Let's not generalize. There are plenty of people using this device. There's as good a user base for this device as there has been for other Sammy devices. Lack of development has in fact deterred people from active participation. Every day I see new and new people commenting on threads of cm 11 because finally we have a stable rom.
If you are offended by something I said, I would suggest you don't follow this thread.

Get cash from your hobbies, not the cash that is used to be your hobbies. I dunno what the better english for this as I'm not native speaker. I suggest you andrei to make synapse as a freemium app (some basic features of your kernel is free and for other you must pay or purchase full version apl to configuring it) or make it a full paid app/not free, and it'll give you sum of cash if you doing this as your main source of $. Just my 2cent. Dont flame me.

That will not happen due to Google country restriction policy, simple as that.
I'm just justifying why developers won't come to this device from my own experience and perspective. To even consider getting this late into the game makes even less sense.

I understand the ROM perspective, but still you don't really say what you want for the other.

Of course it is. It also means that it's unrewarding if nobody does. Like I said, this is plainly due to the demographic of the userbase. It is very very different from the S3/N2, believe me.
HQ Android is an android review website, focused only on applications. My initial plan was to review every major application, and then simply have them updated as time passes.
Besides simple reviews, there will be news about weekly app updates (including changelog), android wear app reviews, mock designs for app redesigns etc.
We were a larger team, but I went inactive for few months due to preparations for my marriage and honeymoon. In that period, some of them left, and now there are five of us still willing to work on this project.
All authors are allowed to put up to two adsense units in their reviews, and there will be no other ads on those reviews. Other ways of site monetization would be paying for review positioning on website (the three reviews at the top, and the wide one, currently Dashclock). In other words, visitors wouldn’t be spammed with ads. I will help out authors without Adsense account to get one, and those that have it ready can immediately add their ads.
Now I’m not a web programmer at all, I’m just pretty familiar with WordPress. I bought a theme on Themeforest, set it up and paid a designer for a logo. The theme itself is pretty good and has all the features a standard review website would need. However, there are some things I’d like to get implemented/changed, so I requested those from the developer. If the site gets fairly popular, I might hire someone to build a custom theme for the website, or build the site on a different framework.
What we need mostly is authors. You don’t need to write x reviews per day, any number of reviews will work. You can write when you have time, without any pressure. We’d like to review every popular app out there, so a large number of authors are welcome. Other forms of support are more than welcome too, like designers, people running the social media accounts etc.
I still need to polish the website a bit, and we need to put average author ratings instead of single author rating. Game reviews and sections need an update too. The site is currently in beta, until we finish those things.
You can visit the website at HQAndroid.com
All suggestions and critiques are more than welcome.
Hi. I am interested in writing for your website. Can you please guide me on how to apply for it and get started?

Going to send you a message now.
Regards,
Its a fine site mate, well done. Ill visit regularly.
Do you offer devs reviews? If so what sort of audience do you have?
Sure, all devs are free to submit their review. We'll check it before posting.
Well currently there is hardly something you can call an audience. We haven't advertised anywhere (prior to this XDA post or reddit) so we're slowly trying to build it.

Just thought I'd drop in and say hey and kinda give a short introduction. Firstly, I got started with XDA when I acquired my first smartphone, the HTC Rezound. Once my baby girl demolished that phone I kinda just went with the cheapest phones and deals I could find. Now I'm an owner of a Motorola droid turbo and couldn't be more happy with a device. I recently used the jcase sunshine method and am currently running CM 12.1 on the device.
My actual electronic skills are mainly on computers and laptops with the occasional modding of any game system. The phones (as of now) are a little out of my league but I'm constantly learning as I try to find similarity's between modding consoles and modding phones.
I'd really like to give a shout out and high five to all the developers that make a community like this possible. Your time and effort does not go unnoticed, and is especially appreciated by myself. Hands down, XDA is home to the leading developers in the Android community.
Well that's enough rambling for now. Y'all take care and have a great new years night.

I too am new to the Android community and am so thankful to the XDA-Developers for this forum and their work. There are so many excellent resources and ideas and help contained here that it amazes me each time I visit.
