I checked the first 3 pages of the forums and didn't see this posted.
Here are some upcoming home replacements for Android. One name that should be familiar to us old WinMo users and a "newcomer."
http://www.tat.se/home/
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pre...gs-support-for-symbian-and-android-along.html
they both look pretty cool but I think tathome looks like it might be a little more to my liking.
SPB isnt out yet, is tathome available yet, i didnt see a download.
+1 for TAT home it looks like it could be NICE I checked out the video (good music and all ;-)) here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/tat-home-the-gesture-powered-3d-home-screen-your-android-device/
I used SPB Mobile Shell 3.x with my Touch Pro and I wasn't too impressed.
*** EDIT ***
Here is a video of Mobile Shell http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/mwc-video-spb-mobile-shell-50-on-android IMO Mobile Shell is suffering from what it always has LAG!!!!! Even on the N1 it looked slow, maybe because it's BETA.

I don't think it's out yet either. You can sign up for the preview here http://www.tat.se/home/ They said that "more information" will be sent later.

Looks cool! I signed up for the TAT preview.
Hrm, TatHome looks like what I envisioned Android 'should be' , I'm liking the look it quite a bit!! Next: to find out whether it really runs that smoothly on my Hero. 3d and graphics are great, but if it slows my phone down in the slightest its automatically going to get turned off.

cant imagine that it would slow it down anymore than sense but time will tell
muahaha, smooth as an iph*ne, and yet still kicking the pants off of it in terms of functionality = complete win for Android.
See, this is why Android is better, and why most everyone here bought an Android phone Since mostly everyone here probably signed up for that preview, the first person that gets the .apk for this, can you please post it up here incase they delay the preview to some people?

+1 on this but at the same time this is why some dont want to develop for android
Why would it make them not want to develop for it? Because some devices have different specs? I'm just curious.

Yes there are a lot of different spec'd Android phones out there but I think he is referencing the fact that Android apps are easier to "warez" than the apps on other OS's. All you have to do is sign up for the paid app extract the .apk post it somewhere. Also any dev can try to "reverse engineer" the app, change a few components and BAM it's on the Market as their "original" creation. Just my .2 cents

that is correct. when swype was first leaked I was actually talking to them about the bennifits of releasing it through the market instead of through manufacturers and one of the biggest concerns that was brought up was the fact that security for apps is too lax. now dont get me wrong everyone knows that for every security mesure there is always a way around it but android security just sucks thats why for the most part people afften have a free version and a donate version. if people can try it and like it then they are more likely to buy it rather than just pirate it. setcpu is a perfect example of this. sure the dev could have made it a protected app (but being a member here at xda he probably knew it was pointless) but he offers it free here and then if you like you can buy from the market to donate to help keep him developing.
so basically all im saying is...ok we all (me included) have pirated apps but if you like the app make sure to go buy it from the market and help keep these people developing for us.
I know I went off on a rant there but without intrest in app development this great platform will fail.
I might be the only here without pirated apps then haha. I did have CoPilot once, but I didn't like it much so I got rid of it. The only time I ever use something pirated is to try it. If I like it and feel the developer should get credit, then fine, I'll donate/buy it.

same here the only thing I am using pirated right now is swype but thats only becuase there is no way to buy it. but thats also because im a cheap ass and maily use free apps unless I really find something useful but to date the only things that I have bought are setcpu and beautiful widgets. im trying cachemate now but it really doesnt seem to be very helpful. I wish I knew a little more about programing there is an app for the iphone that I would love to have on my hero.
i played around with "pandahome" some yesterday. it seems beta right now but they are apparently coming out with pandahome2 soon. it's a good idea, just not quite finished yet. (fc's and whatnot)
anyway you might go check it out (if your feeling froggy).
lots of options and skins ect.ect.ect.
marketplace. free.
So, I am working on a new Android app and I would love some input on it.
The basic idea is that you can easily "chat" with other random users. I find this very hard to explain without showing so I will just run through the process here. You launch the app then you can write something in a text box and "shout it". The message gets uploaded and then you download a message that someone else has shouted out. You can then either download another message or reply to the message you have, effectively initiating a conversation with that person.
All comments and feedback appreciated, preferably on the Connect-UTB forums but I will check here as well
UPDATE: The app is now out on the Market.. feel free to give it a go!
Interesting
Glad you think so! It will be on the Market soon enough I think, depending on what feedback I get from this limited beta test.
Add different colors for each user and make it like a live update not to press the Grab new shout then it updates Other then that the UI is Good.
Thanks for the ideas. I will make it grab a new shout when you post one (i think, maybe make it a setting).
Not sure what you're thinking when it comes to the colours though? Give each user a unique colour? As in their name? Something like:
Reply from Bob: Hey darling
Reply from Alice: Hey handsome

I am not sure how to implement the live updates though. Been thinking about it for a while and havent decided on the best way to do this yet, so any suggestions would be welcome!

You could ask some twitter developers because they have the auto updating feature.
sorry i cant personally help im just learning java.
Yeah I agree, maybe there's an open source twitter app?
Re: [BETA][UNDER DEVELOPMENT]uShout
Its not the coding that is the problem, its just figuring out how I want it to be.
Also I'm figuring out how I shouts should be grabbed. Now it just grabs the newest (if you don't have any replies) so if lots of shouts are being posted then most of them might never be read. However I don't want users to get the same shout twice so I have some thinking to do.
Thanks for testing it though. I think it can be a fun app once it gets published on the market

1. Maybe add an option to make the random user a favourite or friend?
2. Also add an icon/picture to your name?

Would be neat for proximity shout and preference like only want to receive from a female/certain age/or only pictures if not already implemented.
Hmm, interesting. I have been wanting to keep images and pictures of it due to the nastyness that tends to show up. However, a male/female setting would be nice.
So after searching, and doing a lot of research I still haven't found a decent auto tuning application. Were are the devs at?? Im willing to pay, and im sure there are plenty of more people who are. With the release of the "I am t-pain" app on the iphone, android hasn't been able to keep up. I love the **** out of my evo, but I feel like there should be more in the app market. Theres no good drum apps, no auto tune, no good keyboard/synth apps, no recording apps. Why are we slacking so hard here. What the hell do we need to do to get this going and produce apps people want that aren't pointless. Please, lets shed some light on this!

Thank you, even if they made an app that could port iphone apps that would be amazing. Or even make apps on the iphone compatible with bump, cause I noticed you cant put apps in bump on the iphone like you can with droid. Maybe something along these lines would be better and cut the hassle of making apps for different platforms, and at the same time everyone can be happy.

Anyway, I feel your pain. There really aren't any really nice music apps for android. I use beat maker on my ipod touch and its damn near a production center, unfortunately we just don't have the developer support. Not sure w are gonna get any support any time soon. They can't even pay developers to jump ship and develop for android
Hahaha I love all the hate I'm getting for saying something I would like to see. Feels like I'm back in high school again with all the little immature kids.

As someone who's actually tried to get something like I Am T-Pain working on Android, I can tell you the reason you don't see more music apps like the ones Smule does for iPhone is due to the relative lack of any sort of low latency audio API in Android. See here for more information: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434
I just found it amazing you said Android been behind the curve ever since the t pain app for iPhone, as if that's THE app that defines how good an OS is. Wow. Just as you said its a time waster, cool, but ultimately useless, and therefore I'm sure its not a priority right now.
Would be fun to play with though, all I have is my 1g ipod touch so I never got to mess around with it. Just not somethin I'm hurting for
Why so much hate in this topic? The guy is looking for a neat app on the apps discussion board. Big ****ing deal. If you don't like it, then don't even post and save everyone else the time of finding out what a baby you are.

By changing the density like I did, it gives the illusion of an HD screen with a superAMOLED display which isnt even coming out with the S II :S.
I believe that this is far superior to the atrix's screen and it is in essence turning your captivate 'HD'
I think the title is justifiable.

What kind of a calender widget are you using?
It's great that you're doing this for the community Here's some hopefully constructive feedback:
Try to be more to the point. I was curious to learn some stuff, but i found myself getting bored and impatient, which is a shame. You basically spent 4-5 minutes on unlocking the screen with WidgetLocker, without really explaining what WidgetLocker really is, and on ADW EX, but only showing the setting for the number of desktop columns and rows. There are lots of neat things about both these apps, yet i didn't get to see any of it
Keep in mind who your audience is. For the people who are not familiar with the apps you're showing, you want to make sure you explain things. And you want to keep it brief enough so that people who are familiar with the app you're discussing don't get too bored and quit watching. My expectation going into a video like this would be that you will cover several things, and that i may know about a few of them, but not all of them. So the ones i already know about, i'd like them to be short enough that i don't get bored. And the ones i do not yet know about need to be informative enough that i get a basic idea of what it is and does.
My suggestion would be that for each app you try to give a 1-3 sentence explanation about what it is / what it does, and then demo a few features, without dwelling on it too long. I think you could put together a great video if you were to use a rule of thumb like that for each app and cool thing you want to show. Before you start recording, make a shot bullet list of the things you want to mention, so that you can stay on target. (Don't make a script with sentences, because you'd end up reading the script to the viewer, which really doesn't work.)
I hope that that helps you in some way. Again, it's nice you're doing this. I'm just trying to provide some feedback to help you get better I'm looking forward to more videos from you!

Hey guys. I think everyone is aware by now that I'm preparing to launch Android4Autism. As far as ROM development goes, I think I have the basic structure down for the Epic. I haven't yet worked on anything else, device-wise.
Anyway, this ROM is based on EE05 Froyo and is along the lines of the BYOR Editions previously released under the midNIGHT ROM banner. I have some ideas and a beta currently in place but I still ironing out the final feature set. My goal is to provide future upgrades if at all possible as well.
I will be in need of testers (preferably with young kids) for the Actual ROM itself and feedback on the following:
1) Apps that should be available (keeping in mind this is for a special needs child)
2) Suggestions for FREE children's software from the Market.
3) I'm thinking of replacing the Samsung "splash screen" with a picture of the child receiving the device along with emergency contact information. Thoughts?
Anyway, I will try to get this up in the next day or so. I have spoken with Fede from LauncherPro and was given permission to use that as the devices launcher. I choose LauncherPro because it can easily be customized by the parents and it allows for the hiding of icons like the dialer for example. So thanks to Fede and the team over at LauncherPro for their support.
For the latest updates you can follow me on twitter @Android4Autism
Also on Facebook at Android4Autism
The main site is under construction as is the Facebook page but I am making progress. Baby steps.....right.
Please remember to consider donating your old devices....NOT YET.. Just hang onto them for the time being.
Thanks Everyone....
UPDATE:
The Android4Autism v1 ROM for the Epic is up on the Development Page.
THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. This ROM is a test ROM based on midNIGHT ROM v5.3 EC05.
This ROM is designed for children with Autism. While it will function basically the same as a BYOR Edition it comes with children's apps preinstalled.
I'm interested in how your children can utilize this. I have had a few revisions of this ROM already. In previous revisions I had launcherpro preconfigured to hide all the apps but the kids ones. However, for some reason the apps couldn't be unhidden. So when these devices ship out the extra apps will be hidden.
This is a stable ROM.
In the final build the following will change:
journaling turned on.
The wallpaper will change
more kids and Autism friendly apps
PLease let me know what you guys think.
Reserved........
Thank you rob!

Thank this mans children for his inspiration to mod/develop roms.
Awesome idea Rob. My sister-in-law was asking if I knew of something she could put on (besides toddler lock) and let her kid have at her phone.
Something like this could get a LOT of interest beyond Autism. Perhaps raising money for it in the process?
Thanks everyone for all the feedback so far.
Rob,
I would be interested in beta testing for you. Would you be willing to email me at [email protected] with some details.

Hands down brilliant. Let me know if I can help test etc. Already liked on FB and have several friends to mention this to.
While reading the description the "splash screen" bullet sparked an idea. When a phone is locked it will allow emergency calls. What if this was altered to provide quick instructions for any third party and also allow a "call" tab to include parent and local emergency? This would allow anyone to pick up the phone and know what to do vs searching for a contact number and guessing. My son has a wallet card indicating that he has AS and it describes what he may be acting like, what to do, what not to do and who to call. This has worked out well but sometimes he it too far into an episode to remember the card or anything else besides the cause of the episode.

this movie defines lost and tired and deals with autism and sacrifices for the child directly
