Develop Bugs

NOTHING

Closed ok ur welcome

you want to create something revolutionary that everybody will want to use, yet you don't know what it is and you are asking for ideas :/
if you truly want to do something for WM community, don't waste your time on yet another home screen or shell replacement. We have plenty of those already.
Create a framework so that other developers could code apps around. Make that framework flexible, look good, light and fast. Maybe even extend .NETCF35 with a new UI widgets.

I am one of the thousands of users who are getting tired of WM. It's old, clunky, slow and there's no games. I am writing to tell everyone, i will be creating a new user interface for the windows mobile platform. TF3D is ok in my books, so is the today screen. SPBs software is by far the best but it needs a lot of work. I am looking to make something revolutionary that will make them iphone users want to switch to WM lol. What i am trying to do is make something everyone will want to use. Because of this i need your help to get an idea of what are some of the things you would like to see in such a program. Also throw me some names i can call this thing. Thanks for reading.
P.S. I will upload some pictures of what i have in mind later.

Just buy a different phone and leave. I don't really want to be associated with a phone dominated by games and farting apps. And I don't really think professionalism is anything close to this:
Interests
Phone, Cars, Drums, Woman
Occupation

LOL
The above post is a joke lol. Bet he can't make his woman happy. Second i am 16 so what do you want it to say? I have my own company and make millions? I just thought it would be nice to have something i wanna use. I avoid my tp2 if i can. I upgraded from the original so i can say they both suck. I worked very hard to get them phones and wm just keeps letting me down and down again. all i want is a flippin nice music player. That's it, i can't even find that so yeah I'm gonna make my own. So what at least i can do something like that. Can you?

If your claims are legitimate i also would like to see some screen shots as well as some of the features of this new "item"...
If you really are planning on implementing a "new user interface for the windows mobile platform" I suggest a name appropriate for something of this nature, The Genesis Project!

Plenty of high school/teenagers post here -- nothing wrong with that. Some contribute helpful solutions and even maintain threads.
Still...it is kinda funny when anyone proposes a big project and then it turns out that all they have is a vague concept -- without the means to carry it out.
And yeah, isn't "a flippin nice music player" called an "iPod"?

Now thats bad
Omg you don't think i know what i want. I know what im doing. I have the plans all drawn out so yeah. I was seeing if people wanted things that were missing from the home screen or tf3d. Something that could make life a lil easier. So yeah i have started the fun part right now.

Yeah about that

[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

Tehpriest said:
Looking for someone to put together a small app for me

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...

This one has gone way off topic based largely on assumptions which is very unfair on the OP.

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

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

Whats the facepalm for????
I seriously would like to have this game on my android phone (Epic touch ).
I know the game is for iOS .
I know i should try contacting the developer (which im trying to find out how is the best method right now)
I know its not easy to have a game ported, as it is themes, and roms are hard but the developers on here do a crazy job and have alot of knowledge and this could be something they might want to do.
I dont use any iOS device but my nephew was playing it on christmas and i liked the game.
If the developer of the game would to ported to Android and put on the play store i would purchase it .
again im trying to find the contact info for this developer..

radiant defense is sooo much better and its in hd and on android

you know all of this, yet you still ask for it to be ported. no one but the developer will port it because its illegal (im pretty sure) to do, especially if its a paid app.
and if its an old game, then chances are the developer will never port it because if he had any plans to, it would of been done already.
so in conclusion
facepalm

New App/game idea, I need a developer.

So, I've come up with an idea for a simple yet addictive game for iPhone/Android. Without going into too much detail, it was something I used to play with when I was younger and was just thinking about it the other day, and thought, hmmm, that would make a great idea for a game on my phone. The more I think about it, the more I want to do it, but I have no experience with coding etc, or even where to begin... I searched for the name of the app and there is nothing like it out there.
So, I was just wondering if anybody on here knew a trusted developer I could share my idea with and develop it for me? If so, please message me.
We would be partners on the game and can arrange a mutual % before any work would be carried out.
Thanks in advance.
