Application help [request] - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hello
since I'm new in developing apps,I have a request.
I work in a sale store as an IT salesman,and I have lots of tablets and phones exposed on a stand...I wanna create an app that keeps the display always on,and which shows a little presentation of our store,like the Retail Mode application the one Samsung has (http://retailsamsung.com)
Something like
- a presentation,and when you touch the screen,you can use the tablet normaly,but when the screen is off,the presentation should start by itself.
I would really apreciate some help .Thank you
(I know this isn't the place to post this,but didn't know where to.so if a mod can guide me to the right topic or something,it would be great)

First: this should be in the Android development and hacking section.
Second: I say, make a video for your store and play it on every device with Repeat: ON. You don't need an app for that.
But then again, every device I've had in my hand has a 'store demo' app installed. Look into that, might come in handy :3

thx.I used an video as a presentation,but ppl keep closing the video and tested the tablet,and when they were done,I had to start the video again.and trust me it's not easy to do that 32438 a day on 57 tablets and phones....that's why I wanted an app that started by itself.
I'm gonna look on other apps,but I'm not that good

Haha...

[Q] Android "Cydia"

Hey all,
Since that junk iGarbage has that Awesome "Cydia" App to download and use ANY Program in the App Store for free and to use Apps that Steve Jobs didn`t like , why can`t Android -AWESOME- DEVELOPERS make such an App ?? or didn`t anyone think about it! (in this case here is the idea so start working ) lol
Best Wishes.
While it is good to support developers who put time into making stuff - there's already such things like black markets... some available in the actual android store too.

althought apps like apktor can be used to download off illegal repo's, im pretty sure there made for freeware ones lol
OP, what you are suggesting is illegal, and not likely to work, since Google would just disable it. Either way, thread closed as this is turning into a warez discussion.

App Ideas for Developers

I have decided to create this thread to brainstorm some application ideas for developers.
Post any ideas that you would like in an app that would make our SII better and more functional
Please be reasonable in your ideas Thank you
I'll get started with an idea.
I'm looking for an app that regularly makes a cwm backup while I am sleeping. It must boot into cwm makes a backup and reboots successfully like nothing happened
No one has any ideas?
Im looking for a picture app which can rotate pics with gesture? Something like google map.

Probably it could be done with a simple script, but I have not studied cwm, actually I do not know if ithave a command line.

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.
im looking for a gps better then aura in graphics..aura its the best but

i know this don't sound professional and to be honest a litttle annoying but
i wanted to try this mod

the BB10 lockscreen but i don't understand it's instructions
How to :
1) Apply patch(diff) with resources.
2) Compile.
3) Done
...? huh ? i don't get it ...any help ?
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.
Edit: Seems like there's already a how-to link posted.

The patch is for people that compile their own roms from source.
good day.
there's tutorials on both subjects.
i would think most don't have the determination to get there.

First of all Welcome to XDA.. and great choice. Note 2 is amazing.
Start slow. If this is not your first android, then start with what apps you already had on your prior phone,
Go thru all the settings, some of them are very cool.
Try the motion sensor help and tutorials.
If this is your first android get used to the android world. Key is to not hurry. and you will learn and get used to things.

hello and welcome to xda !
first of all try read to learn about amazing android features (root, flashing, etc)
if you have any question, ther's Q&A section
and don't forget to search before asking because i bet that all your questions had been asked before :fingers-crossed:
Hi there and welcome. To add on to what the other guys said, the best way to go is to just look through all the menus and get familiar with where the various settings and options are and what they do.
Look up some blogs or posts that go over the basics of android and customisation. For example alternative home screens like apex launcher and Nova launcher are quite popular and really great if you want to make your home screen really stand out.
Also look into alternative keyboards if you find that the stock keuboard doesn't suit you to well. Keyboards like swift key and thumb keyboard are quite popular.
And as someone else already mentioned, going through the q&a section is a good way to learn about any issues and questions others have already asked.
Have fun

Just get used to it. Don't rush. I also bought this great gadget a few weeks ago. If you are an avid reader download Kindle, Kobo, Aldiko Premium, or UB Reader and enjoy thousands of books. Look which browser suits you best. Download Opera Mobile, truly great browser. Download Polaris Office from Samsung Apps or get Quickoffice Pro or Kingsoft Office from Google Play. Get app Note Everything, looks like a must have app.

[LIST] Must Have Nexus 7 II (2013) Apps

I plan on transferring all of my apps and games over to my Nexus 7 II with Paranoid Android ROM installed from my Note II via Titanium Backup minus the Samsung only stuff in the coming days... will be using both devices depending on situation. Note II will be my never leave at home device while the Nexus will be for school and work. Figured I'd post this to give other people ideas about what to install on their amazing new devices since it can be time-consuming to search and navigate the market sometimes if you are new to the Android scene. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Here are some screenshots of my Samsung Galaxy Note II smartphone as of 08.12.13. Four Apex Launcher Pro homescreens running in CleanROM V5.0 with Perseus Kernel V36.3... The screenshots include my most used and favorite apps somewhat sorted by category... have around 220 apps installed after months of stability and battery testing, but have narrowed it down to the best to be displayed on the 196 available spots due to the custom 7x7 grid... check it out if you need some new Android apps!
Nexus 7 II (2013)... transfer from Note II a work in progress, but feel free to find some new apps and leave suggestions about ones that I should try in the comments. Thanks!
...Reserved for OP
did you throw up in this thread jeezzzz
Amazing job :victory:
OP, with all due respect, you might just be stark-raving mad. Why are you dumping all of your apps on your home screens? Are you aware that the Android operating system has an app drawer?
I have the Nova Launcher going and I have only 3 homescreens enabled and really only use 1. The app drawer is where I have defined categories (e.g. 'Media' or 'Games') for my apps. My homescreen is limited to providing quick access to the apps I use VERY FREQUENTLY (e.g. 'Tasks', 'Maps', 'Messaging') and for the widgets which relay the most important information to me, such as 'To Do' lists, which use the Google Tasks API.
I can't begin to understand your approach.

In going to have to agree. Also seeing all those persistent notifications is driving me wild...completely defeats the purpose!
One question, considering you recommend these specifically for Nexus 7v2.
Are all these apps compatible with Android 4.3?
Because I can't say that they can be a "Must Have" if they'll crash or only work 50% of the time.
cool
I was assuming the OP just installed all of these apps, and hadn't moved the icons to their permanent location yet. I could be wrong, but I can't imagine anyone just plastering their home screens with all of their apps! Could be how the OP has it setup for use though, who knows and who cares! Who are we to judge how anyone else uses or sets up their devices? It's their device and they can set it up and use it however they please. After all, it would be a boring world if everyone setup and used their devices IDENTICAL to everyone else. Not my cup of tea, but to each their own, and definitely not anyone's place to judge how others use their devices......

Oh for crying out loud. You are just being a bleeding heart. The guy posted 20 pictures of his home screen on xda...he made a topic just to share his setup. He was obviously looking for some sort of input. If he was self contiguous about his home screens, making a topic and posting his home screens isn't the best idea in the world. I wasn't being disparaging, so your long, politically correct post is unneeded. Wasn't even making a big deal about his homescreens, just left a sentence stating my opinion.

I didn't quote you or point a finger at you, so cry to someone else because I don't care to hear it. I even said that I don't like the setup myself, so I was pointing the finger at myself as much as I was anyone else! Read my post again! Sorry that you got your feelings hurt over something I said in my post.
He did NOT start this thread "just to share his setup" and get feedback on it, you might want to re-read the OP. He stated these were "must have apps" and was sharing the app titles, NOT sharing his setup and "looking for some sort of input ". Lol. Again, sorry you got butt-hurt over a post that wasn't even directed at you. You might wanna get some thicker skin before posting on a public forum for the world to read. All I did was state my opinion, like you said you were doing as well. The only "big deal" that was made was by you, getting so defensive about my post which wasn't even directed at you.
Also, what do you mean by "self contiguous"?
Have a nice day, and refrain from quoting me in the future.

Woah, this thread turned bad.. anyway...
These are the apps that I currently have installed in my new Nexus 7.
Before I get verbally attacked too, these are in my app drawer on my TSF Launcher.
Rick, any questions about my apps, feel free to ask, or if you recommend anything that I should have just let me know.

I haven't looked at your set up and all your apps but before I thank you for sharing your app list, I have a question....
"Where did you get the LTE-version of the Nexus 7? How and where I can get it? I couldn't hold off much longer so I crossed the border and got the 32GB wifi-version over the weekend. I can still return it "
And by the way... Thanks for sharing the screenshots.
NEVERMIND... got a little too excited when I saw the 4G LTE symbol. After re-reading your post I just realized..
