Develop Bugs

Twitodo

hey guys
I'm kinda new to programming, done a bit at college and now and then i read up about it at home but i know the very basic skills. anyways i thought i would test myself and see i could come up with an idea for an app.
its not a windows mobile app but i suppose in a way its for developers (can save progress of development and tweet it to followers). the app is called twitodo and it basically saves a todo list to a txt file in the install directory. it can also open a text file from a custom directory. it can also tweet the todo list to your twitter account and you have the option to view twitter in a browser window.
the ui is ok i suppose but it could be alot nicer.. would apreciate it if someone could do a few graphics for me. also if anyone has a link to a good guide for making installers because im not sure that my program install correctly, i think you may have to run it from the program files directory.
anyways feedback will be apreciated very much, anything i can add or remove at all just leave below please i really wanna make this app better, but go easy its my first program unless you count "hello world" then its my second lol.
EDIT:
Changes:
permissions to write file at startup fixed (moved TodoList.txt default location)
fixed crash when user doesnt select a file in load todo list window
Attached Files Updates!

just thort id put a pic of the ui on so u can see what it looks like

[Q] Which XML to edit to fix this?

Hi all,
I use a custom theme that is just a hodgepodge of things I liked from other themes, plus my own touches.
Recently I've noticed an issue where certain text boxes will appear with black text on a black background, making the text invisible. If I click in one of these boxes, the background will temporarily turn white and I'll be able to see the text, but it means clicking on each box that looks like this.
I'm experiencing the issue in multiple apps, but not all.
Here's the problem for a contact. Notice that the first name and phone number are not visible:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But it doesn't always present an issue. Here's GMail looking fine:
Can anyone tell me which XML entry (or entries) I need to update to fix this?
Thanks!

Your skills probably outreach my own but I think its in values/colors.xml in either com.htc.resouces or systemui. Should be one of them if its a shared value.

This might be tough to track down. What Rom are you using? Do you notice it more in third party or market apps as opposed to system apps?

Sorry - I didn't realize how little info I included in my original post
I'm using CM7 nightlies and this is a Theme Chooser theme. I don't notice any pattern between system apps and non-system apps, but I've switched back to an older version of my theme for now.
I've been able to narrow it down to a point in time... I have one working version "before" and one broken version "after." Now I just need to comb through them to figure out what I changed... then evaluate each change to see which one caused this.

[Spyware] QXDM2SD and Smith

Since the 2.14.401.1 version (2.14.401.1 and 2.24.401.3 at this point in time) HTC added two spyware apps to the stock ROMs.
To open a settings menu screen type *#*#76484#*#* (*#*#SMITH#*#*).
IMO, delete this sh*t. HTC = pathetic.

Yep I researched those and removed a long time ago.
Apparently it could be for HTC to remotely control your phone if you contact support, but I'm taking no chances.

Me and another user found this some time ago. There is some info about it online, if you look hard enough.
As far as I can tell the Smith app doesn't send out logs to anyone. You have to manually input an IP address for the logs to save at, or it defaults to the SD card. It doesn't have anywhere to save the logs but the SD card by default. (Maybe if you opt into sending HTC statistical data? Its the first thing that happpens when you boot a stock ROM)
You can delete it if you want. It won't affect how your phone functions.

Just FYI...This is the list of loggers that I deleted a while ago.

I didnt know that!!!Ty for the info......altough it's of no use for me....just dont prefer sense

I just recently found this on my phone. Can anybody tell me how it got there? I was thinking my girlfriend did it. However, after reading this I'm having second thoughts. Was it placed by sprint or HTC or is it something someone buys to put on the Evo 4g?

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.

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.
