[REQ] Real (Hardware) Touch Pad for HD

Inspired by the zoombar projects (link below), I thought that it could be possible to convert the hard button area of the touch HD to a more useful thing: a touch pad.
I think we have enough room for left-right and also up-down movement. Also a double click could be considered as pressing the Enter button.
I believe we have skilled enough developers who can make this dream a reality (like XaKing and namuk).

Although im no developer, i'd love to see this!
Although, would it only enable in certain applications? Because i want to answer a call when one comes in and not be zooming! lol
Also, if i get a call in camera mode, will it detect this and revert the buttons?

It all comes down to the limits of our imagination. Maybe we could have a blacklist/whitelist approach, where we could define the applications for which this touch pad should be enabled. This could be in some conf file or registry.
But we need the real thing first, these nice little touches could come later.

[Q] Perform custom application action using NFC

I am trying to set up some NFC tag actions using my Galaxy Nexus running stock ICS 4.02. I am using the pro version of NFC Task Launcher. Right now I can create a shortcut to launch a program via NFC, but I want to do more. For example, I want to create an NFC tag in my living room that will execute a Wake On LAN command. Right now, I have the option to launch the WOL program, but then I have to click a button on the screen, which is such a pain. I think I can do what I want using the Custom command line option which should "open a specific activity within an app", but I don't know how to figure out the custom activity command. This command would be formatted like "com.google.android.talk.BuddyListCombo", which I found in reference to Google Talk. How can I figure out custom commands for different programs? Thanks.

I beleive that you will have two choices.
1. Contact the application developer.
2. Launch application from Eclipse, then you will see the intent.
Or is there anybody else that has a better solution?

Flash transfer

What is Flash-Transfer?
It is an app which provides a file-sharing functionality to your smartphone using Wi-Fi tethering. It can be used to easily connect to another android smartphone and then transfer apps,
images or any other files you may want to. We all have to agree that it is indeed a clever way to transfer data faster, given the slow speed at which Bluetooth works. This doesn’t even use your data plan, just connects to the other device over Wi-Fi.

}
Why Flash-Transfer?
Though similar apps already exist in the market, what defines Flash Transfer is its unique style of sharing files, aptly termed as Swipe & Share. It allows swipe like gestures to share photos, that seems more like magic rather than a useful feature. As illustrated, the photos being swiped out simultaneously comes into view in the receiving device, which is really a fun thing to watch. There is also a shake and share feature.
Its simple enough to configure and use, that once you open the Flash Transfer app on your phone or use the Swipe & Share option from the Gallery or File Manager, you can invite someone to share with. This invite appears in the form of a QR code which need to be scanned by the receiving party on their device to get connected. Once done, both phones can simply share any number files or apps that you want without any data charges.

Dashboard for university app, need some suggestions for rework

I made an app for my school, it is currently on google play. I need help on designing the dashboard as there is another data to be added onto it.
Currently the dashboard has 2 parts, academic requirements (plain text) and schedule (tabbed). On the next update there is another plain text to show which is academic interventions much like requirements, just plain text. I'm thinking of redesigning it because if I add the academic interventions below the requirements, it would push the tabs below and would not look great for small phones as they could only scroll a little of the tabs.

Here is the website version of it:

Hey ,man, what kind of feedback or help are you looking for? Give me a shout on here or email. [email protected]

I think you are right, the "header" (academic requirements) is way to big and the scrollable part gets to small. You could do different things:
1.) Put the academic requierement in different activity and let them open it via the menu.
2.) You could just popup a small info message if requirements are available and give the user the possibility to click on the message so the requirements will open in a different activity/popup
3.) Remove the title "Requirements for Clearence" (because it is actually very big - and it is only a title, isn't it?).
These are my thoughts so far

I kinda agree with spcialx I think you're wasting a lot of space with the title "Requirements for clearance" and even more space by saying "No pending requirements posted", you could just add a : 0 in front of the first title so that you save some space (for example, Pending Requirements for Clearance: 0 ; Pending Academic Interventions : 0 ) and if there is 1 or more, maybe make it clickable so that it shows what they are.

[ALPHA][5.0+] Contextual App Folder (C.A.F.)

Hello everybody,
we are looking for alpha tester for a new app that we’ve been working on for a long time: Contextual App Folder (C.A.F.)

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
C.A.F. like the name suggest allows you to create contextual folder on your homescreen and access to the right apps and shortcuts just when you need them. The app offers 9 different trigger (e.g. Headset, Bluetooth, GEO Location) to create your custom scenarios and it should also work with Tasker for more advanced stuff. Custom folder styles and color options are also available.
If that sounds interesting for you and you’re willing to accept minor flaws which come with a early access release then join our Google+ Community to get access to the app on Google Play:
https://plus.google.com/communities/114562739170140440710
It’s currently a closed group (some components are not ready for a public release) so you need “ask to join” but we’ll try to give you access soon as possible. A open Beta through the Play Store beta program is also planned in the next weeks.
Things to note:
The App requires Android 5.0+
You may have to adjust the folder size if your device is not in our database or you are using a custom launcher
Looking forward hearing your feedback!
*Edit*: The app is now in beta and can be downloaded directly from the Play Store. Thanks to everyone who participated our alpha test!
