Hi there
I am not sure if I posted on the right area but I am trying some days now to find out how can I develop an app idea.
I am not familiar with these kind of things.
Anything to propose? Is there any kind of trusty companies out there where I might be able to have a deal?
Any help will be appreciated.
Sorry for my poor English.
Regards

Btw...
I am pretty sure that this idea will sell or it will be used by millions people.
I might be looking very sure about it but believe me there is nothing like that on Web right now and for sure it will make people of all ages to have fun with it.
So if you know any trustful companies to point... Please do it.
Thank you in advance

First, wrong section. This forum is only for those that have something to contribute to development, ROMS, kernels, tutorials and what not. Questions belong in [email protected]
Edit, looks like it got moved. :thumbup:
Look on XDA tv.. There are tutorials on how to make an app..

I can tell you with certainty that no developer will make this for you without significant money up front.
Your only good option is to make it yourself. Learn the language.
Also, wrong forum.
I am not looking for a developer!
I didn't asked for free help!!!
I already mentioned that I wasn't sure if this is the right section!
And for sure I am not going to learn on this age how to make apps lol.
I only asked if anyone knows a trusty company for such things.
Thank you.

Sentence #...
1. He is just saying that it will cost cash, not that you want it for free.
2. You are
3. Use your common sense. Better yet, read the damned rules.
Never make the excuse you don't know where to post. If we could learn where to post, you could also learn. And you most definitely not going to find a company who does not develop but also help you make this app. I'm guessing since of your slightly off english you want an app, you have an idea, yes? If you don't know how to make an app, you must request for the services of someone else to make it for you. So you ARE asking for a dev, or a company of the sorts who develop and market apps. Also, you might not be asking for free help if you want someone to make an app, maybe you do want to pay them. He is just pointing it out. Its like paying a construction company to build a successful resort but not paying them. And make it yourself its not extremely difficult to learn coding and application making (except when it comes to more complex examples, i.e. an app with A.I. or a game which rivals the likes of shadowgun). If it is simple, make it yourself. If the idea is complex, well make sure you got some serious cash before asking a company to do it for you.

For the end, I didnt want to be mean or something with my previous reply. I just wanted to make clear what i am looking for.
Best I could tell you aside from what's already been mentioned is to look for a prominent developer (one known for quality and good support) on one of the app stores, who has similar apps or seems to deal with the type of stuff people who would like yours already use.
Once you've found one or a few, research them, check their website, and if comfortable with them, initiate contact and ask to be put in touch with someone about an app idea you have that they may like to hear about.
If you make it that far it's up to you to sell them on yourself and your ideas.
Good luck with it.

Try contacting a company as they said. We could suggest you some if you give us the broad topic of it, not exact idea, since you know how things like this could play out.

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...

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.

Honestly no one wants to hear it from some jackass that TALKED SOOOOOOO MUCH **** ABOUT SOFTWARE ROOT ANYWAY.

No one cares that you just found this out and you really don't need to open a thread every time you find something new out. This isn't Twitter. This is why the Dinc2 community is CRAP.

I have to check the website. Curious if there is a way to block users who spam the forum. I actually hope a mod deletes it, nobody wants to hear your useless arguing. As for me creating useless threads, I think I have created 3 threads total so far, and one of them helped quite a few people with their alarm clock issues.
For now I am just going to manually ignore you guys. Type away at me, not even going to bother reading them. I will be the mature one.
Edit: wow, just checked my other thread and you argued with someone else in that thread. Do you actually do anything on this site besides argue with others because reading through your comment history it sure seems like all you do is argue, you are ignored for sure.

I may not be getting OTA in my location. So I went fishing and came across this.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...8-605-4-same-as-the-official-gingerbread-ota/
They claim it is the same as the OTA but since it can be RUU'ed will work on all phones, incl. those with modification to the ROM.
Has anybody tried this one? Also, since I have never gone the RUU route some additional instructions will be most welcome.

If you are not s off, just flash it. If it has been tampered with than the update should fail. It isn't todays ota though, it is the one from a few weeks ago.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Thanks @kingsway8605. This is the only one I could find. About two weeks old. Any other URL's?
Presumably the flashing involved copying the file (with changed name) to SD card root. Remove the USB cable and then do <volume down> + <power>. I hope the follow up is pretty simple and straight forward. I do not have much Android experience.
So what's the scoop? It looks like a sweet ROM I was curious what the major differences are. I assume it has some extra functionality or something but I haven't been able find much of substance the wiki page on it wasn't exactly useful...
I've been wondering myself what differences come along with a "bravia engine".

Yeah, everyone links to the Wiki page for BRAVIA which has next to no information about cellphones and pretty much completely worthless unless you want to learn about their advertising campaign...

That's typically my method, but I research before flashing a new ROM, saves me a headache and spares devs from stupid questions. There just seems to be a lack of info on just a few areas & I don't want to play the flashing game to only gain a few icon changes and transition animations. I'm currently on calks' 2.8.1 and love all aspects of it. Smart guy, that Calk! Don't mistake research for laziness, that's not my thing.

And about the map thing if you still can't find your way out of the forest with a map. Then you need to go back to the boy scouts and study up a bit.lol.geesh.

See the thing is I asked one question. When a ROM is so different than the rest I like to have any idea what the extra stuff DOES. Even playing with it I am unlikely to figure it out if I don't know what it's for to begin with. I figured I would ask what the other people here knew about it. You are obviously ignorant of any useful information so while your contribution has been worthless it has certainly wasted a few people's time so there is that.
In regards to the map I take it you've never actually been in the woods without a way to tell what direction you're going have you? Must be nice to think the sun shines every day, maps show everything to be seen, and compasses/GPS grow on trees.

You can disagree with him all you want but, he makes a valid point. The thread for the ROM had pretty much all the answers you need and the OP for the ROM has been more patient than anyone gives him credit for. Try it out. Nand your current ROM flash the Bravia ROM and see for yourself. Q and A is a great place to ask questions but, only if you've exhausted all other avenues. Otherwise you're just clutter.

Agreed and you just validated his point. Nand then try it out for yourself. You'll get your answers through first hand experience. He'd get the answers to his questions a helluva lot faster and he'd have something to share in the ROM's thread.

Also it's a great ROM. Sure it's in alpha but, that's expected it's pulling all kinds of cool stuff from another OEM. The time he spent would be worth it in my opinion...drunk or sober lol.
just seems like a theme to me.... bravia wont run correctly unless the hardware is there... i guess its like installing Radeon HD9500 video drivers on a intel vga adapter... bravia engine was the video cards used inside Sonys TVs and such... how his applys to a non-sony phone? I have no idea... but regardless, its just something to tinker around with.. no harm done.

I agree, I tried the ROM the other day. It had Sony's launcher and the ROM was nicely themed. I have no idea what the Bravia engine means and running the ROM won't tell you either so not sure why the other dude was being an ass and telling you to flash. He was probably hoping you could tell him.
Nothing wrong with asking a question about a ROM if you don't want to flash it just to find out. Everyone just needs to ignore the assess.

Well that means by your standards they must ignore you. Because your the ass my friend.
I'm outa this thread.
Some games I don't enjoy playing on the touchpad and I think it would be better on the dpad. Is there an app out there that can change the mapping?
Thanks.
I'm assuming you're referring to EA games, and no there is no app and there likely won't ever be.
They're completely different inputs,so no.
It could be done though

Unless you're an Android dev, you are not qualified to post something like this.
Its nothing against you but this forum seems to have an epidemic of "Someone HAS to be able to do this" , well no its just not that simple.

Less of the disrespect. He has done more for this community than you ever have. I class him as a developer so quit your crap. For all you know he could work for Google and be a developer for Android. You do not know everyone's life.
And as for what he said IT IS POSSIBLE it just wont be easy!

Cut the attitude pal. You don't know squat about what I've done for anyone, nor do you know anything of what he does as you just said. I don't care about your opinion or how you class him. While I wouldn't classify myself as a dev (for this device) I do post quite a bit here and try to help (except when people continue to push out stupidity). Point being though his contribution or mine has nothing to do with the point of my post.
My point was dev or not posts like that get taken on a run by this place. its why we have so many threads that won't die about how the PLAY is going to have Native PSP emulation and crap like that.

THIS IS XDA IT'S ALL ABOUT THESE POSTS SO STFU
technically a Android dev is anyone who has created something for Android well I have created apps for Android although for personal use.
well I never said it was simple, I am creating a programme for windows and I decided I wanted to add a feature so I did. now I need to work out how to make it work. same principal.

Wow,
I will apologize and say my original post was a brash and I should have explained myself better, the second part of my reply to DeanBoro is what I really meant.
My point is the same, I've made android programs too, but have no idea what would go into trying this (I haven't taken a look at the SDK at all).
Posting "it could be done" with out some sort of backup is what I am pointing out. If you're gonna post something like that do some research. You said yourself you don't dev for this phone either so you don't know how. Otherwise as I said the dreamers will have it already working and 30 posts on it in a week. Look around this forum you know I am right.

not to sure who this was directed at but. I will apologize to. sorry. I dev for this phone although only things I need like a App for my website or something. I didn't say I could or couldn't do it. But I did say it possible cause any one could see it is possible, a App could read and redirect movements however it would require skills and may not work in general use like gaming due to lag many apps already do this do this but not for touchpads. I don't. need to do research cause essentially it is possible.

I was apologizing to you, and thank you.
I believe anything is possible with the right programming. Feasible on the other hand is a different story, and in this case it could be simple or something that just plain isn't worth the time you'd need to put in.
Just leaving an open ended "but it is possible" from someone such as yourself that has stature in this community can lead to what I said, which just leads to more and more useless posts here (not by you).

Awww, everyone made up!
Anyways...
It would be possible, just like it would be possible to redirect dpad to touchscreen.
You would need root.
All input/output goes through /dev/input/eventXX
You would make a service which reads from eventXX and when it receives something translate it and put it in eventYY.
The problem is that this is not part of the SDK, so what works for one device, will not work with another.
Or you can make your own IME (input method), that its part of the SDK. No root required.
This its how Change Shoulder Buttons and OnLive Helper work.

Mind you as I said before I'm not experienced in programming with this phones SDK, but the "analog" touchpad controls basically mimic "analog" touchscreen inputs (I put analog in quotes because we all know its not really analog), but those controls operate differently than simple key inputs (such as the camera helper) that remaps a specific coordinate event input to a button.
I would think that the IME way would be the only way that this (in theory) could actually work. But that I would assume also depend on how the game in question handles inputs. As we have seen some games are far different than others.

I would also love an app that could do this, i hate hate hate hate hate the touchpads in games!!!

I would pay no matter the price for an app that could change from touchpads to dpads.

Hi,
I am a software developer, installed a rom in my cellphone from this forum and have some bugs to report.
I cant! Why? I'm a new user, need 10 threads... Ok let's post some threads,
I cant! Why? 5 minute beetween eath thread.... Ok, since I love this forum's community and respect your work, let's buy the pro-xda-forum app from the store. Maybe being a premium xda-forum member I can post.
I cant either!
OK, guys. It seem you are preventing both SPAM and potential users in the forum with your rules...
Just a constructive critic.
PD: don't need a reply saying the importance of prevent spam, and so... There are better ways to manage this issue.
Its to stop idiots posting useless crap in the dev topics.
Pointless *****ing from someone who thinks he is better than everybody else. Reported.
We all had to deal with this, and those of us who put the time and effort in are thankful for these restrictions as there would be even more idiots and wasters without them.
Suck it up, take the fall do the time. That made you what you are. That makes you what you are. How long have we been around this thing of ours?

Seriously? Is it so difficult to get 10 USEFUL posts?
Just look around! You'll find plenty of noobs asking the same question, all you gotta do is make the day for 10 chaps...
And as a software developer, you should very well know the potential and threat of spam...
Also, the 10 post rule has a deeper meaning attached...it is there so that users inculcate a habit of assisting in the flow of knowledge...
They should realize that the journey is more important than the result...
I see that you have 3 more posts to go...do try and help out a few blokes on the way...
I don't know about others, but I am actually interested on your 11th post in the dev section...

Think I did a useful proposal here. I read in the explanation for this noob-spam issues that if we know of a better alternative to filter users just propose it.
If you read me between lines you have a proper alternative by just letting the ones, like me, who contribute in the xda-premium app to change their user status to something less restrictive.
Don't you think it's a good idea to both enhance the app-buys and give users like me an alternative?
Don't want to mess with the forum, just report a bug since yesterday jejejeje

No, I think it is a really bad idea. A total of $1 to get some sort of 'Special' status? Because the people who want to come on here purely to spam and try to get commercial crap posted won't want to pay $1 to get a quicker and easier route to doing that will they
While your proposed idea does look good on paper, the issue of piracy pops in...
Android is the worst os when it comes to development, from an anti-piracy point of view...
Granted that piracy is rampant on other os's too, but it is much much much more than any other os of its calibre...
I can bet my whole work on xda that more than 80% of all android users have pirated an app or game or theme or whatever...
So, as I said, granting dev area access to all junior members is not such a good idea, as it would actually increase app piracy, rather than push up sales...
2 more to go...

Thank you for your concern.
This is the ROM-post (FOXHOUND for GalaxyS3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708371
This is the issue:
Hi, I’m having issues with the phone-number recognition algorithm. Is there any tweak with it here o just a JellyBean error?
Here in Buenos Aires, Argentina we have this numbers: +54 11 0000-0000, if the number is a cellular phone, we add a nine like: +54 9 11 2222-2222. I have all the mobiles in my contactlist like that. But because the ’9′ is not used for internal calls, The network providers don’t forward the nine and I see +54 11 2222-2222.
So When an incoming call / sms says the number is +54 11 2222-222, The phone doesn’t show the proper contact because it’s missing the ’9′ in front of it.
In stock rom from my galaxy S3, my old iphone, and some other roms I tested I didn’t have this issue. Any ideas?
thanks!!!

Contrary to what I had believed, your post doesn't have a close precedent (from what I could conclude through a quick google)
While I do not know the solution or what causes such issues on your device, I can suggest a workaround...
You obviously use call log pretty much...
In my phone, there does appear an option to edit numbers before calling...what this does is simply copy-pasting the number to the dialler where you can freely edit it...
There, its a simple matter of adding a 9 in between...
P.s. I don't run jb, so the exact option may vary

Thank you for your time looking for a fix and the workarround.
I found another one, just putting both phones in the contact works for me. Now I have my regular contacts with both with and without the '9'.
Why do you need the contact with '9' ? Because if I am abroad and have to talk to a mobile phone in my country, the 9 is a must to establish the call.
Why do you need the contact without the '9' ? Just because the phone can't recognize the contact if not.
Really appreciete the devotion in solving others issues. Keep up the good work making this forum the great place it is.
If it was an open source rom, I'm sure you could patch the framework to ignore the lack of 9 for caller id
I'm a bit noob on Android, had I Phone since it's release. But I'll be checking if I can review this in the source.
Was my first thought
