I'm a developer and I want to develop my first official market app. I've developed a couple of applications but just for personal use and experience. I have gathered a group of very talented developers and we are onto something big.
What would be an app that you would like to see developed? The app (or apps) with the most popular demand will get started on immediately.
We've been considering a couple of ideas. Anyone down for Airplay for android? tun tun tuuuuun..or maybe not. Maybe a crazy cross platform game?
We are open to suggestions.
Thanks

This is an easy one
Develop and apk that fully integrates your Contacts with your Calendar. So if I want to schedule an appointment with John I just go to is contact record and select "make appointment". It then creates a link between John and the Calendar for that appointment. So if you are looking at the appointment you can easily call John, navigate to using address or add notes to his record.

Thats not a bad idea. I understand where you are coming from. It would actually come in handy. It would have to be an extension to the original android operating system. Unless I were to make an entire new contact app that would integrate these features easily.
Towards the end you say "..looking at the appointment you can easily..."
do you want to be able to just click his address from the calendar and open up navigator?
I'm too lazy to pick up the books and relearn what all I need to know, but, I've had this idea tossing around in my head for awhile.
Make an app to basically create a data set and determine your battery estimated maH, and if you need to recallibrate it. Once you have all that data, there are tons of things you can do with it as well, its just a matter of making the program light weight enough to run in the background so it doesn't re-do calculations and eat up juice.

Considering most TVs use IR, and the evo lacks an IR port, there is quite a substantial hardware limitation.
How about a torrent app? Utorrent?

The concept is so that you can create an appointment for a contact in your calendar that is linked between the contact and the calendar.
For instance, when I make an appointment with Joe, Joe's information such as his phone number and address are instantly accessible from the calendar. That way if I need navigation to Joe's address I can access it directly from the appointment without having to manually type it into the calendar program.
These links could also easily allow me to say "show me all appointments for Joe". Or if I am on way to Joe's and running late I can call or text Joe from the appointment record instead of having to look it up.
The idea is to automate and reduce duplication of effort. Never type the same information twice - link to it instead. There is an app called "Contact Event" that comes close to doing this the but it doesn't actually create a link, it just pastes contact data automatically into the calendar record when creating it. The difference would be the link which would make it a relational database concept as opposed to just cut and paste.
When creating a new contact your app should also generate a Primary Key that uniquely identifies that contact. Then when you make an appointment for that contact, you simply drop their Primary Key into the appointment record, link the two tables and you are done.

Phajen is absolutely correct, the problem comes with the hardware limitation. It's almost ipossible unless the tv itself is on wifi

Trust me if I knew how to develop something like this I wouldnt be looking for ideas on forums.
What you CAN do is take one dollar bills remove the metallic ink they have on them if you put them to soak in sodium combined with carbon...ehhhh.....never mind.

Interesting...I'm gonna check Contact and Event and see what it's like, I would just have to beef it up a little bit. I will get back to you one this but I like the idea.
An app that lets you add on to the existing code to your liking.
Or a series of apps, a basic twitter client, a home launcher, a clock widget. Something easy we could build on *from the phone* without the use of Eclipse. If that's at all possible.
We now have Stericson's Signapktic app that allows us to sign zips, apks, and jar file from our phone so we're slowly getting closer to something like that.
Stericson's apps are pretty awesome.
How about and app that lets you dynamically re-arrange your homescreens without havin to drag icons around?
You can do this in the MIUI Rom but I hate the apple-like interface so I dont use that rom.
I know u woild get rich off the apl alone lol

in line call recording
please create an evo ap that will record calls without the speakerphone activated.
I remember when I had my G1 there was an app in the market that would allow your to use your camera and write a vitrual note on any surface and then post it for anyone with the app to see. You could then find other notes in real-time with the app using the camra and it would tell you how far away the note was from you and listed the username that posted it. As you got closer the text got bigger and became more readable. what was this app that used augmented reality?
I have hundreds of old pdf books that are formatted as 8-1/2 x 11... so they look like crap on Nexus 7 with any of the readers I have tried. What I would like to find is a reader app that will convert -- on the fly -- the files to a format easily read on N7. Any ideas?
I know I can use Calibre, etc. to convert the files before transferring them, but this is a royal pain in the rear. My files came from multiple sources so there is no consistency in data field info, etc. I would spend days converting them.
So the ideal world would be a Nexus 7 app that would take the existing format and display it in a more readable form.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,

Thanks, guys! I bought the $2.99 version and it does what I need and more.
Do you ezPDF users know how to change the font size in text reflow mode? It says it can be done, but I can't figure out how.
Ezpdf is the best well to me it is

Mantano is a kluge but it allows you to crop the margins which I dont think repligo and or ezpdf can do, and can definitely change text size on reflow as well

In ezPDF I just do a tap with 3 fingers and it fits the text to the edge of the screen, getting rid of the margins. It can do that with columns too.

I personally just use calibre portable, batch convert everything into epub and walk away for a while. Then do a windows search for *.epub and dump them all in an 'ebooks' folder. Bam.
I'm having some problems with opening textbooks with ezPDF and Adobe. Are there any other apps that handle large pdf documents (~1000 pages) better?

Weirdly,the method I used most I couldn't get to work when I was checking things before replying. When in pdf display, tapping with 3 fingers would expand the text and get rid of the margins on my nook color (CM7) but now on the n7 its switching to text reflow when I do a 3 finger tap. Another way is to tap the middle of the page to get the bars on the top and bottom, tap the 3 horizontal dots on the bottom right bar to get the menu and choose "Fitting to Text Column". This also locks the scrolling. Or you can zoom to the size you want and use the menu to lock horizontal scrolling.
I found a manual for ezPDFat:
https://www.google.com/url?url=http...manual&usg=AFQjCNExz7WM3UoPlQX44LP1AOAOc5fHaQ
This is the first time I've seen one.
+1 for ezpdf. it even reads text back to you

Tap with three fingers switches to text reflow mode on my ezpdf, which is not the same thing as cropping margins. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong?
The "fitting to text column" thing is actually kind of annoying to me, because I can't just scroll down after doing so (it actually locks me in a particular page unless I manually go to the next column, which is also annoyingly highlighted). If there's a better way to use it, I'm all ears.
ebookdroid is the only other app I've tried that that gets the correct margins. It also reads djvu. (Disadvantage: the official version doesn't have search; you have to download a beta version from their dev site.) The mantano margin fit was terrible, at least for my documents.
Adobe reader is quite good also

While doing my search for the perfect writing app. I realized that there arent too many quality apps in the Play store for pepole who want to write or take notes. But I did come across an incredible app after months and months of search. Its called xWriter.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.epsilonmobile.xwriter
Although it does lack for some features like Syncing across devices using Dropbox or Google Drive, you can definitely export everything you write to either of these services. Moreover, there isnt a single app in the market which features Syncing. Evernote sucks to be very honest. Its paid version is extremely pricey and I dont like the clunky interface.
xWriter does have a free version with limited features, but I found that my 3 bucks were totally worth it. I would say anyone who is looking for a decent app for Writing or taking Notes, this is it.
I use quickoffice for school and evernote for notes.
Evernote is free and has all your syncing needs with an outstanding ui

Try Hovernote in playstore. Its a note taking "hover" app that allows you to share notes with evernote, dropbox, Drive etc
I am using FreeNote and i think its perfect and it is free It has export functions (like export to *.pdf), the ability to take handwritten notes or handmade pictures (i hope you know what i mean^^) and a widget which shows the latest taken note. All in all i would say it's like S Memo on the Galaxy Note but for everyone.
Try out Handrite. It is the east I've seen on Android. The developer is also really quick to respond to requests.

do any of these apps allow for in line drawing (of graphs, etc) .
i really like supernote, but the scribble function shrinks the 'scribble' to text size
I really like freenote, I've used asus supernote on the transformer and enjoyed it, but never liked how you could only export PDF's one page at a time and u couldnt see the full menubar on the N7 without a DPI change. Attached are some of my notes so far in class (only been to a couple days of classes). batch export so i can create multiple "notebooks" when i export as well as categorize the pages by classes. Also allows in note drawings and sound recorder but i havent tried out the sound recorder yet. Im still finding out new features, so the attached notes may have inconsistent stroke sizes while i figure out which one looks the best for me.
Still trying to get used to the new environment of freenote, but i really like it out of all the ones ive tried for the nexus 7

in comparison the jpg labeled ASUS is from my TF101 (transformer) using supernote, the picture doesn't do the app justice, it was a lot more legible in the app.

Halo!
I am a fanatic note2 user but have came up with the following annoying limitation for my work:
Under contacts I need to save large amount of information in the notes field.
Problem is there is a size limitation and after that nothing is displayed or can be inserted!
That is annoying as I have large notes created from my iphone which does not have a limit, or allows for more text, and I cant read them in my contacts.
Any solutions?
