Service Planner request

Hi,
without getting into a religious discussion because I'm not sure how that would go over on this site. I have a big request, I'm not sure how hard it would be to create a program like this
http://www.serviceplanner.co.nz/
The only reason that I would like a similar program is because this one uses sprint dp wich for one isn't free and two isn't very fluid. I appreciate any feedback, if it is too difficult that is fine but I know there would be alot of interest in this program. They make one for iphone that is similar and very popular with alot of jw's.
thanks ahead of time

hi
nice to see a JW on board... i'm one too.... i use service planner too.. but i purchased the sprintdb software(belive me its worth the money).. i belive the brother working on SP will be releasing a version that does not used sprint DB or i think he said he is about to get exclusive rights from SprintDB to include the app with SP!!!
hope this helps
ps people here wont be getting into any religious discussion.. they just dont have the time LOL... all techies around here

cool, thanks for the reply. I'm gonna keep an eye on his site. I've used the software before, I just don't like sprint db. by the way I love the elfin... almost as much as my phone.
glad I'm not the only cell phone geek around that's a jw

[Q] Any proper Dev's here? Fancy a small challenge ?

*sigh*.. It's like asking for permission to ask a question. You'd be best off asking here directly.. Developers tend to have different strengths and weaknesses

You should at least describe what kind of app is that

If I were to say openly then it would give someone else the opportunity to make the same app and the Dev (if there is one) who would agree to make it wcould lose out even if only on the credit for making it.

Im guessing in order to get help you can't automatically presume that most developers are d*cks who steal ideas from other people.

Now you are putting words into my mouth. Not really helpful that. Though the vast majority are not there is always a small number who plagiarise as is seen in the market. Now may I thank you for your comments as I await an answer.

I'm guessing you wont pay them either? I think developers might be reluctant if they feel that after hearing it, they might get in trouble for deciding they wont go ahead (I've been in that situation before)

As a developer... what? I have no idea what you're on about.
If you want a developer you need to:
1. Make available information about what you want developed.
2. Pay someone (a reasonable sum), or have a genuinely interesting project. The later being substantially less likely than the former.

Yeah...even if I pm'd you for information, and then decided I can't proceed on developing it... isn't it the same? I would have heard your idea anyway, so you're better off saying it directly. ;-)
Or... you could apply for a patent on it if you fear there are lots of thieves here lmao

OK thanks for all the replies I will put my idea to a Dev forum that welcomes them.

Guys, please try and keep this on-topic without resorting to flaming the moment I close this tab.
@OP, XDA is all about sharing and working together to achieve common goals. As a result, developers here tend to work best when others can get involved. This kind of post pops up now and then, but these ideas usually end up unfulfilled due to the lack of information available.
And remember this is people's hobby, not necessarily their job, so most people aren't about to commit to making an app when they have no idea what it is. If it's not interesting to them, they likely won't want to do it.

awww sulky wulky. Hey any devs wanna build an app for me? I'm selling it but won't pay for it, and have no way of supporting it further down the line? No? Didn't think so. Flan.

How would you know if the developer that you share the idea will not simply use it for his own profit?
This is xda-developers (a developer community) and I never heard about a case of stolen ideas here.
If you'd like to find some help implementing an idea, you should at least describe the developer profile, technologies,...
i.e. I'm looking for a developer to build a simple 2D game that connects to a website to load pictures using http protocol.... No previous experience required, All source code should be sent to me and I'll share the profits.... please PM me for details.
You can try rent-a-coder and, for a fee you have your idea implemented.
Your arrogance is not welcome here pal.
Good luck with your idea.

I make a post offering to give someone my idea for an app that if they can make they can do what they like with and I get flamed for it. I am not a Dev, I am very new to Android OS. I see a need and think someone may find it easy to meet that need so try to make it known so an individual may even if the want profit from it. And for this I get called arrogant and told I am not welcome.
And as for the trolling I will not comment.

good luck, you won't find any! you come here asking for someone willing to do some stuff for you you won't tell them about before they agree to do it? lol! why should ANYONE agree to that. i, for one, am not interested on this conditions. also, this here (xda & android) is about community development, open source and therefore open ideas where everyone can profit.
if you wan't to sell the app then hire some dev for 20$/h but then you are indeed @ the wrong place here. otherwise just tell everyone about your idea and IF it's interesting, some people might pick it up...

Go and ask an iPhone dev if you wanna behave like that...not because youd fit in being a wanker but because they're much more commercially minded. It's funny in your original post you kinda imply most people working in this section and putting out material are not 'proper devs'. This is xda and this is open...people suggest apps all the time and people make it for free and maybe include ads or small charge to cover there costs, see lag fix, noled and galaxy s sim unlocker on market. You can be like the idea makers from there and just go 'that covers my needs and it's cool' or you can merrily skip along to an iPhone dev who is all profit.

So let's make it clear: you are offering the dev the idea and if he realizes it, all profits would go to him? He will publish it and everything? So why don't tell it straight away, if it's interesting someone will do it. Even if 2 or 3 people do it, there will be 2 or 3 apps for the same purpose. So what? How many im clients or gps navigation software are on the market, and still coming out? Do you think only one of them is getting money and the others don't? Users also like to have choice...
However you should at least tell what kind of skills are required? 2/3d gaming? Databases? Web connection? Kernel hacking? I think even if you aren't a developer yourself it shouldn't be difficult answering these questions... at least you are selecting potential candidates... that would be the minimum requisite for posting such requests, how can I know if I could do it if I don't even know what skills are required? Not all developers have the same background you know...

Well that's just the problem. You haven't put your idea to this forum.

I bet it was a clock widget.

Guys,
This one has gone way off topic based largely on assumptions which is very unfair on the OP.
Closing this now.

You are not going to dev it by the sounds of it, so it is really not up to you to keep such a project closed, isn't that exactly what you are asking to happen anyway? ( have another dev make it for you. )
You are coming on a forum, asking if any dev is willing to work on a secret project... ?
If there is money involved, and thus a reason for secrecy, do mention it.

[Q] Struggling Dev - Please help

Hi,
First off, you guys rock. These forums really bring the community together and include some of the brightest minds this century has to offer.
Basically, I'm trying to get a foothold on the Android game scene and am at a bit of a loss of what to do next.
I've written a free game and couple of live wallpapers (see signature below - originally released 19 Jun 2011), which I am spending all the time I can developing. These have have had a number of downloads - but nothing spectacular.
I don't have any funds to throw into any advertising (I was hoping some sales would raise some to do this).
I'm not getting much in the way of feedback either - which I am at a loss of how to encourage. I don't have any willing beta-testers that are willing to work for appreciation.
So, I'm either doing something wrong, not doing something I should - or everyone is being polite because my apps are so poor they aren't worth commenting on (which I would take on the chin as I am constantly trying to improve them).
Have I released them into the market too early?
Or am I simply being impatient and should shut up and keep slogging away?
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I really want to make this work as games writing may be a lot of work but it is way more fun!
Cheers,
Paul

If ur wanting a tester let me know mate ill get a few people to try it out

festa20,
That would be great! I'd really appreciate it.
I'll put something together to send to you later if that's ok?
I can't really offer any compensation at this stage apart from my gratitude, but that may change when the money comes rolling in.
Cheers,
Paul

Depending on what kind of game it is, I'd like to help test.
I'm somewhat of a dedicated gamer across different platforms, but I'm focused on games that do not have a storyline to follow (ie., no RPG games). Action games and puzzles are my forte.

It's a top-down tower defence game. There is definitely a level of action and strategy involved.
It's my first android/java game and I'm trying to improve as I learn. I hope you like what you see so far and maybe even see some potential.
Ver 1.2 of Livestock Vs The Undead is on the market (see sig below) - so if you wouldn't mind checking that out before I can get a beta to you (hopefully in the next week or so). There have quite a few tweaks since that version, but it'll give you an idea of what it's about.
Many thanks,
Paul

Yea mate just pm ms when u got something lined up for us and i downloaded that game bout 2 days ago i saw it on market cheers man

Trade GamerTags for Leaderboards?!?!

Hey guys, I have like 1 friend who I've been able to talk into gettinga windows phone and when Mango hits on the 27th for EVERYONE else, it's gonna take off I think.
But until then I don't have anyone on my leaderboards, so if you don't mind adding me or swapping gamertags and I'll add you, let's do it!!! Maybe we can get some really good gamers from XDA and have an awesome leaderboards going for all kinds of games.
The420Dank - GamerTag
Please let me add someone LOL, I want to use that feature.

Not sure what you are trying to do with this. Are you wanting people to become friends with you on XBL so that they can send game invites on Windows Phone?
If so, that's a good thread idea!
But this will probably get moved to the general discussion forum.

Yes, I figured apps and games is a good spot for this thread since this is where the gamers should be looking but yes, let's trade gamertags for invites so I can have some people on my leaderboards and myself and others on theirs.
I think it's a good idea.. Thx for agreeing with me. Do you wanna be the fist one? You should see my gamertag, go ahead and invite me to your friends list if you would like to see me on your leaderboards and vica- versa or however it's spelled.
ADD ME SOMEONE!!! LOL

Download the im a wp7 and add people from their.

"have an idea, need a developer"

How classic is this. I have a pretty solid idea and I've always been on the business side of things. Need a technical co-founder. I think I have a really friggn solid idea, willing to give up a percentage of my company that doesn't yet exist..if we can arrange a deal.
I already have detailed mockups designed and general wire frames. I want to be primarily in charge of the UI design stuff and the business side of things, but this is going nowhere unless I find help. I recently graduated, have an unrealistic sense of how much work this will be and I have little money to throw at this. However, I'm as driven as they come and I think this is a legitimately good app/business.
It involves the local sharing economy and craigslist.
If interested at all, please let me know. Again, I'm naive to most of you, I already know that much... But I also know that it does no good to write and plan ideas out without ever trying something out in real life. I'm sure a genius kid programmer developer can crank this stuff out in a weekend without even trying. Anyone trying to jump on board?
