THIS IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SKILLS AT ANDROID DEVELOPMENT, OR ARENT CURRENTLY PLANNING ON OR CURRENTLY MAKING SOMETHING NEW FOR OUR DEVICE DO NOT REPLY. THIS IF FOR DEVELOPERS ORGANIZATION ONLY. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE BASICS OF DEVELOPING THOUGH, OR WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN HELP US, DO NOT POST HERE, ASK ANY DEVELOPER THROUGH PM.
Well, I had to get that out of the way.
Me and Adriel were talking for a while today, and were thinking of having a developer conference for all developers of our device on the weekends. He has a business gotomeeting account we can use to audio chat, and share our computer screens live (and not use actual cameras for privacy reasons). We can have up to 25 people at a time. What we want to do is to get as many developers as we can on so we can talk about all our current projects, ways we tried to get stuff working, and what we want to do going forward. We also want to use it so that people (like myself) who are newer to development can ask the more experienced devs questions to get themselves better, and we can all maybe be on the same skill level eventually, and in general get more stuff for our devices going. Me and adriel are both able to do this on Sunday (me in the afternoon, Adriel TBA), and we wanted to see who else can join us. I want to be able to get this as a monthly thing if possibly on the weekends, and maybe weekly per availability on a smaller scale. Also if we can get it working, I want to find a free version to do the same thing, and allow anyone with development experience to host a group to allow general users to ask questions, and try to learn development themselves. I believe besides just normal test/audio chat being able to see each other's computer screens (hide anything personal first) would allow us to use much easier visual learning, and help the community as a whole. Tell me what you all think.
You can count me in.. I'm pretty new to development though... I'm just starting to get my feet wet... My only dev work (sorta)... Is the porting of the Lewas Rom to my beloved EVO 4G .... But I'm definitely interested in developing for this device (well at least learn something)...

Another original Evo user! awesome! Well instead of using gotomeeting we might just use google+ hangout- much easier, and dont need adriel to be on each time. I suggest taking your username and creating a google account with it for the hangout. for example mine is [email protected]. I will be on all weekend on google+ now.
Count me in!
I may or may not be available but most devs know how to contact me.

Shelnutt2, i was gonna suggest this type of thing. i noticed the current irc room is just noobs and what not who need help fixing/lgnpst'ing their phones. why not make two rooms #lgog-help and a dev room for you guys and testers.
that way, the dev talk isn't washed out with people needing help fixing their phones and dumb questions about eta

We decided to use Google+ instead. Much easier since its browser based, but only ten people. If someone wants to get $3 we can get up to 250 on oovoo.
Also IRC is good, but it doesn't allow us to see the persons screen, so no visual help. I can then see exactly what you click on, and just talk and not worry about talking while working. And if someone's getting help they can just listen to suggestions, and not have to look at a chat screen if they don't have multiple monitors. Also for chat for developers I was thinking of maybe using something besides freenode. Its not very mobile friendly, and I personally don't like it. Gtalk is the best for one on one it seems like, but we something like palringo- download the app on any OS for any smartphone/computer/tablet. Chats as big as we want for free, and it supports pictures and short audio clips. Also private messaging, bots, and such. And you just right click some bodies name to mod, admin, ban, or silence them. And permanent ban is possible. Then we can keep anyone not wanted out, but still let normal users that don't bug the channel float around and watch our chats. If anybody has another alternative to palringo, please tell me. I want us all to be as connected as possibly, and in all formats without it being a hassle. I want us accessible to each other, and even to normal flashaholics through chat, screen cast, and audio. Always accessible in case someone has an issue with a ROM or mod. Makes development easier.

On android, just open a chat, then menu, add friends and you can pick who to invite... Probably something similar on other clients.

I'll edit this as needed; however, I would like to get this seriously off it's feet. These are the following courses that I would be the best to learn for now. And have different developers teaching the course work once a week.
If we start tomorrow, we'll literally start extremely easy; however, it'll get harder. I think it'll be best if dedicated an hour and a half to all lessons (More for more difficult subjects) and developers teaching should have an agenda in mind. Here's a weekly schedule that sounds like it'll be beneficial.
Week 1: Copy & Paste Rom
Folder and File Structure (10 minutes)
Top Level Modifications (20 Minutes)
Updater Script (Commands and Permissions) (20 Minutes)
Implementing Aroma Scripts and Modified Updater Script (40 Minutes)
Week 2: De-compiling and Theming
Week 3: Setting up Linux Development Environment
Week 4: Developing a ROM from Source
Week 5: Developing a Kernel from Source
If you're a developer and want to teach any one of these, please reach out to me.
Some responsibilities for teaching include recording your screen as you present. This is specifically to be able to upload the video to youtube afterwards so that anyone can watch if they miss the session. The only disadvantage for users that watch the video is the inability to ask questions during the tutorial.
I'll also make accommodations for the developer depending on what they need. I'll help find solutions for video capturing software, which shouldn't be difficult.
Hopefully we can get this off the ground so that people are more knowledge about ROM development. Most of these tutorials can already be found online; however, it's always difficult to get started.
Thanks,
Adriel
If anybody wants, I am on right now. I can do the week 1 tutorial for new people, or talk about current projects with other devs.
I am on google+ under evo dev. my gtalk and email to find me is [email protected]. If you cant find me on google+ shoot me an email, and ill send you invite to a hangout. just put your hand over your camera so you can switch it off, then turn on screen cast. You can also use a normal chat if you dont have a headset or built in mic.

Hello guys. I would like to request a one hundred push ups app.
This is the website: hundredpushups.com/index.html
And there is already an iphone app for it. Maybe someone is able to make the same thing? So a little stopwatch + reminder when you need to push up and the weeks etcetera.
Great thanks!
I could probably make something like this. But it would have to be on my backburners until i finish up FFP_LockScreen (which shouldn't be too much longer). And put in the time that VisualGVoice deserves (*sigh*). If there were incentive to make such an app, I could push it up my To-Do list, but realize that my other apps have incentives as well (both monetary and challenges to my coding abilities).
It wouldn't be too hard to make, in fact. If someone wants to dev it, but needs the concepts on how to code it, I would be more than glad to help that way.

I don't suppose you'd have time to modify imgresize to report back the image dimensions? I love the app, but I would love it even more if I fed it an argument like "-find res" - and it returned the x and y dimensions, so that I can determine whether an image needs resizing or not. Sorry for the ot.

I will consider this after I release the next version of LateReader.
By the time can somebody post the screenshots from the iphone application. The screenshots really help a lot when developing a GUI intensive application.
Here are all the images you need:

If I happen to start developing this, it will have to be resolution independent then (usually no big deal), because I have a HD2 (WVGA).
Also the link contains only two images of the iphone app as far as I see. If we could have more screenshots (one for each screen), that would help a lot. I know, the concept is already very simple, but still having some screens to start with makes the development process real faster.
Edit : actually the link contains 5 images but still not all the screens covered. OK, whatever, this at least something to start with.
Some more images are over here,

I too have this app for my ipod touch and I have the sit-ups one. I been thinking about making this as an app, which should be simple enough. The only thing I need to figure out is the number of push ups required for each days etc.
For example, when you first use it you are suppose to do as many as you can and then enter that number. From there the program works out how many push ups you have to do each day. How do you work that out?

You can use the tables provided in the website. (www.hundredpushups.com, etc.)
nice! I will take a look
Wanted to say the same, check out the tables @ the website. when you start up the app you can just choose your table and from there a little timer appears and you have to do the pushup's your supposed to do
I have started work on this application and will keep you posted with updates. Any idea for a program name? Don't really want to call it "100 pushups"

Could i be a beta tester?
After just discovering the hundred push up site the other day and deciding to do it; it took one quick search to find you guys have just started making this program!
Would love to help with any beta testing if I could be useful!
You can all be beta testers
There are 3 main stages/versions I'm aiming for.
Functionality - This will be the first version which will have a rubbish GUI but its purpose will be to make sure the program works.
GUI - This will be as above but a nice polished GUI to run it :-D
Final Build - After I post the GUI version I will be asking if anyone wants features added or something changed etc. This version will have those changes.
Here's what I currently have and testing in the Functionality version.
* Databased filled with the 6 weeks programs.
* Main menu with 3 buttons. "Today's Program", "Log/Charts" and "Good Form". The last 2 buttons are currently disabled.
* Today's Program displays a test screen after every week and will create a program for the next week based on the results.
* Today's Program displays the week number, Day, number of sets and the number of reps for each set. There is also a working timer for the rest periods.
* After each program has been completed the data is recorded.
At the moment everything seems to be working, I simulated 2 weeks worth and everything recorded and the correct programs loaded etc. So, if I continue as I am I may have a first release ready by the weekend for people to play with.
Hi,
On the 14th of March i started a new project called XDA File Server. The purpose of the site is to host files for Dev's and give users a nice spot where they can find them. And so far it's been busy! 1,7TB has been uploaded allready and 11000+ vistors and more then 11000 files served!
The server it self runs on a 100mbit optic fiber line and should provide a decent speed to most people.
On the moment you'll find ROMS for the asus transformer, lg optimus 2x and xperia s (orginal firmware on the moment), i'm still expanding but it takes time and money! Hope you guys/girls like it !

You can also follow me on xdafileserver on twitter.

I'm still working on a easy and clean design so dont panic when you see one design first and a few seconds or minutes an other one, the downloads will go on.
Some stats so far:
almost 1000 unique vistors in only 3 days! 190GB downloaded so that's nice too. If any other dev's need xs let me know. I'll add some stock roms as well by gee one for restoring
Stock recovery might be a good addition as well.

Thanks for the tip
I'll find a good version and add it
Actually now that i think about it a good selection of tools like nvflash, adb, nachoroot, vipermod, drivers, superwipe, CWM 3.something and 5.something, Rogue recovery, other stuff that might be useful. Sort of like a one stop shopping kinda place.
This is such an awesome gesture. Thank you!
Another suggestion: Maybe you can have some pages (or the main pages) on your site link through coralcdn.org by appending .nyud.net to the domain part of your URL. By doing this, for public content, HTTP requests are automatically redirected through a custom peer-to-peer network using DNS and distributed amongst a huge number of caching proxies, reducing the load on the original server as well as bringing content closer (network topologically) to the requester.
Note: I am not connected to coralcdn.org in any way.

Good idea! I'll msg most of these dev's if they are ok with the mirror ( think they are but it's nice to do). And i'll make a folder for these things.
I'm still working on the site to make it as fast as possible for users that are on the other side of the world, but it's not going to be routed trough any dns service of anykind it's on a 100mbit fiber line it should be fast enough and it should support proper download managers (so you could resume).
I'll show some stats from this week later on
I'm in indonesia if that's far enough away for ya. Sometimes it drops out but that's at my end and it still maxes out my 3g.

If you are a dev or know one that needs a place to host their roms let them contact me and i'll see what i can do.
@Moderator Is it possible to sticky this topic? makes it much easier for me to keep people informed!
Ugg getting annoyed tried 15 times to download mar 27 cm9.
Keeps saying file is finished at like 15 megs.
Is there anything going on or is it just me?
edit: seems my 3g doesnt like your server. On a landline it seems to be working well.
Nopes it's running on full speed on the moment. But i'm going to change setup soon so perhaps that will fix it for you
oh and for those on 3g try: THIS and let me know of that works
Moving to a more appropriate place
I find your project very useful.
Do you consider including other devices as well?
Hi
Yes that's the general idea indeed. But i'm starting up slowly with some dev's and adding more while to goes on. First wanna see how much data this is gonna take .
A member of team xperia is uploading some files and is gonna use it for the 2011 range (and the comming 2012) after that i'll find and ask a galaxy 2 dev if he want's to mirror/host the files on my server
Just a note that the word 'you' on the website's main banner should read 'your'. As if you don't have enough to do.

I'm not surprised to see that not too many people are entirely open to sharing or giving away intellectual property rights to "their app ideas" on XDA... Considering, how many members are developers and looking to capitalize from their ideas and work. That being said, I myself am not a dev and could in no way, shape, or form, bring my ideas to fruition in a timely manner... So, I'll contribute to the think tank with the asking of only 1 courtesy, should you decide to use any of my "ideas"... A considerable donation on behalf of myself to XDA Forums for any profitable gains from any of my ideas and a PM sent to me, just to let me know you're working to meet my smartphone needs. Please, include app names, so I can enjoy the fruits of your labor ASAP.
Now, I'm just awaiting the approval of XDA MODs concerning this part of my contribution before continuing with my ideas.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Seeing as how you can connect an external hard drive to your smartphone via USB and also connect it to a Tv via HDMI... I would really like to see apps take advantage of these aspects in numerous ways. First being, a means of using your smartphone as a video capture device with various video format configuring options in app. So, with a micro USB to Female/Male USB; in theory you should be able to capture video on your TV,PC,Ect From a game console, set top box, dvd, or any other median to video content from your TV through your smartphone and store it on an external hard drive. Allowing for longer video capture and data storage. If this idea intrigues you, please feel free to elaborate on any further thoughts you have concerning it...
P.S. An external hard drive with charging capabilities while in use would be nice to have as well. If it doesn't exist already.

I think the patch method is for more experienced users. I don't understand it either. It seems like it might not matter though. As long as you are running a ROM with the T Mobile theme engine, it's going to be available through the Play Store soon. Just a heads up, rather than starting a new thread, wait a couple of days to see if the requests for more information in the original thread turn anything up. Someone might well be writing up a how-to guide, but that kind of thing takes time to do right. We just need to be respectful of the fact that the people who are able to provide that kind of information are doing so as a hobby. Good work takes time, so let a little time pass.

it's kinda rude, saying that XDA is doing it for bucks,
since they did this to provide users an independent forum app,
you justified the means without proper knowledge,
And to put it, Tapatalk is a paid app. And XDA offers free as well as premium app. So users who don't have Tapatalk has the option to get the free XDA app, if they have only registered on XDA for browsing the forums. Not many users are members of different forums.
i got both...but to be honest i only use XDA app now as this is the only forum i check. and if by me having the premium version helps support for the maintenance of the site, it is the least i can do for what i have learned from XDA over the last two years and the goodies that i have done to my phone to make it better
The reason? I find 1.50 € for learning english a very, very, fair price (i have both premium apps)

Reread your thread title and OP. Nowhere does it state that it's directed to people who use multiple forums, and you probably would have received different replies completely if you had made that clear. All you did was make the XDA app seem useless, which is wrong, because for people who only use XDA there's no point paying for tapatalk.

But I am having a problem with both and can't use any of the four forum apps I have purchased:
XDA Premium (phone)
XDA HD (tablet)
TapaTalk HD
TapaTalk 2
Don't get me wrong, I am more than happy to support the developers! I'm not bragging, but I have purchased about 300 apps in the last year and most of them worked fine without paying for them. I just wanted to make clear that this is not about complaining because of spending the money. I just sincerely want to be able to use them and I can't use any of the four.
What I mean by that, is that after scouring XDA and Google, I cannot find any help on how to view messages that I have received email notifications for, like when someone responds directly to one of your posts, or even when they post in a thread/forum you are Subscribed to.
I know that I can go into the XDA/TapaTalk (2) apps and go to:
LATEST >> PARTICIPATED
... But that doesn't take me to the posts that I have been notified about, like if I tap the link in the email and it takes me right to the message, ya know?
So I end up tapping the link and trying to view the messages in the browser on my phone, but since XDA does not have a mobile version of their web site, I end up double-tapping it to try to blow it up and then moving it all around the screen, back and forth, to try to read the message.
And of course, posting that way is Hell! It is very difficult to get it to go back up in the message and you can't even see a whole sentence, because it's blown up and the regular display is microscopic!
Does anyonne know how it is done? I love the concept of these apps, but I cannot believe that they would have left that sort of feature out, given that people would constantly be responding to posts they are notified about, right?
So I figure that I must be missing something. But I have looked at these apps for almost a year now (and recently purchased the new TapaTalk 2, hoping it had stuff the original doesn't) and I just can't find how to do this.
Does anyone know how this is done? Please?
Again, going to LATEST >> PARTICIPATED does not list/take me to the messages I am being notified about. The threads are in the list somewhere, I'm sure, but I'm hoping to do it like I do when I tap on the link in an email message. It would be really cool if you tapped on one and it opened Tap right to that specific message that you're being notified about!
I may have missed this answer somewhere in these forums, but I swear, I did scour them as best I could and I just cannot find this specific help! Nor did I find any help from the Tap folks, except how a forum owner could add their forum and a Google search produced the same result.
I apologize for the long message. I just wanted to make sure that I was absolutely clear, so that folks did not just guide me to "LATEST >> PARTICIPATED".
Thanks!!!

Big post.
So basically what you want is when you click on a link on any other app (mail for eg. since its giving you notifications). You need to clear all the defaults you have set around with your browsers. (do it from settings»applications»manage»here).
After that whenever you click on a link, it will show up a popup to chose the app to procede for the link. If the link is from xda use tapatalk (it'll take you to the post right away), if from other site, use your preffered browser. Again do not set anything as default as tapatalk cannot open other sites and you will need to clear the defaults again.
A Hero Can Be Anyone.
Dear Bruce Wayne,
Okay, I did what you said and it did not take me to the exact message. But it did take me to the same page, which makes it just a matter of scrolling down a few swipes up worth to scroll down to the message, which is certainly plenty good enough!
Plus, now I understand why this app's default posts per page is set to 10.
Thanks a bunch for your help, Bruce! I mean that! I can now, finally, use TapaTalk after a year of owning it! And that's because you took a few minutes out of your time to answer my question simply and plainly, without first assuming a certain level of knowledge on my part and I really appreciate that!
And I'm sincerely not trying to patronize you. As I said, I do mean that. It can be very difficult to get help, when so many people see a question as being "stupid" and you can't find anything on the web, ya know?
There was one thing I noticed though in the TapaTalk 2 app, which was that there was no option to "Quote" when responding (I wanted to quote a couple of sentences of you response when I replied).
Is there a trick to making it show that option that you know of?
If there isn't one, how would you know if it's responding to the message you're looking at on the screen?
Sorry to bother you again, Bruce! Last time, I promise!

That's for the XDA app. But that and TapaTalk are so close, that I yea, it just might help at that!
I'll read it and thanks for passing it on. I appreciate it!
