[Q] Widget Creation: Help - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So I know everyone has seen this image that was leaked from a company in Germany and promoted as the concept images for the SGSIII. Well that was far from the truth apparently.
I would like to make this widget, or hire someone to make this widget. But I have no dev experience at all, just graphic design experience. Is there anyone that would be willing to toss some helpful info, tutorials, guides, or programs that would help with the creation of this widget?
Once I get my feet on the ground I would love to start making more custom widgets for everyone here.
Thank you all.

I'm kinda in the same boat as you in that I want to start contributing rather than just consuming, but I think we are just going to have to learn to code. No other way around it. I am currently doing that through I book I bought, and eventually I hope to be able to create some apps and stuff. It'll be a while until then though.

Yeah, its rather confusing. No disrespect to anyone, but if I was a dev I would enjoy helping others create widgets, icons, etc. Can't wait for the MIT Android Development site to start up again.

MIT Development site? Which one would that be?

Google created a application for creating apps called "App Inventor". Its made for non-coders to create apps. Its a really cool tool, and I just started diving in to it when Google decided to not support it anymore. Instead they gave it MIT and its going to be a open source application for free. The site was turned off at the end of 2011 and some time this year it should be back up on MIT site.

Oh App Inventor. Yeah I heard of that. I even tried it a bit myself. It seemed neat, but I think learning real programming is still the way to go if you want to do anything serious. If I ever need some help with artwork for something I'm working on, I'll let you know. We can partner up.

but for XPERIA, or WM in general...? Its a great app, you can still use the online version thru your Opera browser but it's not fully operational, you miss certain features
Cheers, and have a happy new year!!!
Come on...... no one...?!
Try these or 495 000 other results.
www.google.com: Results 1 - 10 of about 495,000 for project management software winmo. (0.25 seconds)
first two sites:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-tag-project_management.html
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/pocket-pc/ppc-tag/project_management
google is your friend. (And eventual omnipresent overlord)
happy project managing
Why do you think I haven't searched...?!! Just I havent found anything as good as this one
I'm just asking for feedback, maybe someone knows the best one for WM, maybe someone knows one simillar to this iPhone app, things like that...

DAMN THAT WAS HELPFUL....thnx a lot now next time save it for urself...now honestly if one feel a newbie here is askin a question not worth an answer then....DON'T....but this attitude isn't productive
to avoid any more flamewars.... does anybody know of such a well made, easy to use app?
Have you tried this one?
Times Professional 1.5
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/pocket-pc/download-times-professional-1-5.html Its an ugly interface, its not free, but there is a trial and it claims to be pretty functional. Includes synching ability with other PDAs.
Yeah, that was one that I looked at, but still, I'll be looking at this multiple times per day, I kinda wanted this to be a bit more pretty I'm a graphic designer, and tables and tree-views and drop-downs just don't do it for me. Maybe such an app isnt at all available for a WM device but still, I have some hope that someone has stumbled upon something like this

Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy theme or wallpaper: wanted

So I was searching and could not find a theme for hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. I think it would look awesome on android, with clear cut and definitive lines. Has anyone made such a theme??
Also along the same lines, does anyone have a really epic hitchhiker's guide wallpaper, feel free to share here (i am hoping us fans can 'assemble' here and get all the hitcherhiker's guide parafanilia here)..
thanks! and thanks for all the fish..
I have this wallpaper of Marvin i found on here a while ago...

Black HTC Sense clock (Fancy Widget v1.3.0)

Maybe someone has already done this, since I have seen few screenshots with this black clock elsewhere. But I couldn't find a download link. So I did it myself. Inverted the images of Fancy Widget v1.3.0 to make it black. I'm not sure posting a link to the moded .apk is legal (since the app itself has some legal issues). But if its ok, then I can upload it.

I think that is ok because this app was free.
Unless you want HTC to slam you with a lawsuit because it is too similar to their Sense UI

Lets hope HTC guys are not roaming around Samsung forums ...
my guess is that they do roam around in here.. to laugh at Sammy because there are tons of whine topics and posts now about Froyo and Samsungs way of improving performance on their most important and commercial succesfull smartphone
thanks for this...

[App] Saev Mah Battery!

Hello guys,
I was working on a project today that lead me to create this app for myself, and I thought I could share it.
Basically, Saev My Battery! let you reduce your brightness below the minimum possible, without your phone needing to be rooted.
For now, the battery saving will occur only with AMOLED displays (like the SGS2's screen), but I'm planning to add the reddish tint for other displays in the next few days.
Let me know what you think about it, if you find any bug, if you'd like some more features etc...
Thanks for being my beta testers fellow SGS2 owners

There already is this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haxor#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhheG9yIl0.
which I personally use since SG1...But more is always welcome
I will try it although one of the let downs with your app for me is the name (I just don't like when people use words that aren't the real words) and the design.Make more polished..More eye appealing.Those are my sujestions.
Keep it up

Hey, thanks for your quick review. I'll definitely work on the design, but I've been too lazy to find a more appealing name I guess

I'm also using Screen Filter, but if this program will also have features of "Soft Screen Tuner" (plaing with colors, saturation...) and "Voodoo Screen tuning" so it will be "all in one" =) But anyway thnx! =)
How about SMB?

[Q] College App

I am thinking of starting an app for my college. Pretty much I want the app for it to have users or students in this case register make a username and password and then just for it to be forum kind of style where users can create threads and also for it to have a messaging system incase someone is selling a book both users can communicate with each other. the thing is i have no idea where to begin if anyone can show me a step by step or just a summuray on what to do to make this.

Buy domain from namecheap, hosting from dreamhost. Use phpbb as forum software (completely FREE) or vBulletin. Start a web forum, install Tapatalk plugin. Share link.
Tada! No programming at all.

This may sound like a good solution but it becomes complex for the user when they have to use forum software. I am not sure you have can limit functionality with Tapatalk. OP is trying to create an application that is simple and includes his/colleges branding. Another problem is using Tapatalk since it's a generic application and you can't rebrand it for his college or niche group. I know it looks like OP is trying to redesign the wheel but I think he's trying to do it in a way that makes it more efficient and, in a way, more useful for users.
@OP
I am quite new to Android dev and I learning by using "Google: Android developer basics" (I can't post links since I have < 10 posts) I am not sure if it's the best way but I think it would be a good place to start.
Quick one please. Which hosting provider did you choose here if I may ask?
