Hey all,
I'm a very new user to Android, but the last few days I've been trying it out from the XDAndroid build and I love it.. I know what my next Mobile OS is going to be now. Which device is another question.
As I've used it and read some of the threads it occurred to me that it could be valuable feedback to users and developers to get a poll of several aspects of the XDAndroid build. Missing features, importance of existing features, how often you use the OS, etc.
This is my first time using this Survey Monkey tool, so forgive me if the questions aren't perfect. I've fiddled with it over the last few hours and I think it reflects most of what I've thought and from existing posts on the forum from other users.
Click here to take the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GFD2QKG
As I start getting responses I'll post the results periodically. A free account doesn't appear to have the ability to publicly post the results so I'll do it periodically manually.
Thanks for taking the poll, and a huge thanks to all of the people who have worked on it and facilitated making it this easy to use Android on our devices!

I'll post results every few days.. I have yet to figure out a decent way to scrape them. The HTML below looks the best but you can't see the free-form input. PDF you can see it.
Results as of May 05:

Cool.
I just took the survery.
I think I am the first one.
Hopefully, we will get a good poll on what people want the most out the features of the Andriod, which is already amazing as it is right now.
Great idea man, just took the survey ill say it was pretty nice taking it
Thanks for the poll. I've completed it although I did have to be creative with some of the answers because they didn't allow for a "none of the above" answer - I haven't used Android yet but want to as soon as GPS is working on the TP2. (Wishing I hadn't given my mum my TYTN2, otherwise I'd be playing with it already.)

Hmm, what do you think I could modify in that regard? I'm not sure I can edit it now that it's active but I'll take any suggestions.
your answers to the "how often do you use the MJG upgrade util" or whatever it said will be null bc you cant select "never" and there are quite a few of us that update through glemsons autobuilds and have never touched the cab version. I had to select weekly for it to let me finish.
Thanks though!
Sorry about missing "Never" on a few options, first time I've created one of these polls..
Results as of right now I've just posted. I'll post every 3-4 days as it makes sense to do so.
Hello guys. I would like to request a one hundred push ups app.
This is the website: hundredpushups.com/index.html
And there is already an iphone app for it. Maybe someone is able to make the same thing? So a little stopwatch + reminder when you need to push up and the weeks etcetera.
Great thanks!
I could probably make something like this. But it would have to be on my backburners until i finish up FFP_LockScreen (which shouldn't be too much longer). And put in the time that VisualGVoice deserves (*sigh*). If there were incentive to make such an app, I could push it up my To-Do list, but realize that my other apps have incentives as well (both monetary and challenges to my coding abilities).
It wouldn't be too hard to make, in fact. If someone wants to dev it, but needs the concepts on how to code it, I would be more than glad to help that way.

I don't suppose you'd have time to modify imgresize to report back the image dimensions? I love the app, but I would love it even more if I fed it an argument like "-find res" - and it returned the x and y dimensions, so that I can determine whether an image needs resizing or not. Sorry for the ot.

I will consider this after I release the next version of LateReader.
By the time can somebody post the screenshots from the iphone application. The screenshots really help a lot when developing a GUI intensive application.
Here are all the images you need:
itunes.apple.com/nl/app/hundred-pushups/id301174591?mt=8
Edit:
And if someone is developing it, could you please bring out a Qvga version first? I got a palm treo pro

If I happen to start developing this, it will have to be resolution independent then (usually no big deal), because I have a HD2 (WVGA).
Also the link contains only two images of the iphone app as far as I see. If we could have more screenshots (one for each screen), that would help a lot. I know, the concept is already very simple, but still having some screens to start with makes the development process real faster.
Edit : actually the link contains 5 images but still not all the screens covered. OK, whatever, this at least something to start with.
Some more images are over here,

Not yet... LateReader still requires my time I believe.
Anyway, I will definitely look into this if no one starts developing, but I can not promise for when I would start it
I too have this app for my ipod touch and I have the sit-ups one. I been thinking about making this as an app, which should be simple enough. The only thing I need to figure out is the number of push ups required for each days etc.
For example, when you first use it you are suppose to do as many as you can and then enter that number. From there the program works out how many push ups you have to do each day. How do you work that out?

You can use the tables provided in the website. (www.hundredpushups.com, etc.)
nice! I will take a look
Wanted to say the same, check out the tables @ the website. when you start up the app you can just choose your table and from there a little timer appears and you have to do the pushup's your supposed to do
I have started work on this application and will keep you posted with updates. Any idea for a program name? Don't really want to call it "100 pushups"

How about "Flexiones" or "Chester" or "Daily Break" or "Earth Mover" or "Parallels"???
Just throwing out what just popped in
Can I help you with the beta... PM me.
Push it to the limit!
Could i be a beta tester?
After just discovering the hundred push up site the other day and deciding to do it; it took one quick search to find you guys have just started making this program!
Would love to help with any beta testing if I could be useful!
You can all be beta testers
There are 3 main stages/versions I'm aiming for.
Functionality - This will be the first version which will have a rubbish GUI but its purpose will be to make sure the program works.
GUI - This will be as above but a nice polished GUI to run it :-D
Final Build - After I post the GUI version I will be asking if anyone wants features added or something changed etc. This version will have those changes.
Here's what I currently have and testing in the Functionality version.
* Databased filled with the 6 weeks programs.
* Main menu with 3 buttons. "Today's Program", "Log/Charts" and "Good Form". The last 2 buttons are currently disabled.
* Today's Program displays a test screen after every week and will create a program for the next week based on the results.
* Today's Program displays the week number, Day, number of sets and the number of reps for each set. There is also a working timer for the rest periods.
* After each program has been completed the data is recorded.
At the moment everything seems to be working, I simulated 2 weeks worth and everything recorded and the correct programs loaded etc. So, if I continue as I am I may have a first release ready by the weekend for people to play with.
Hello there fellow developers. I recently made quite a progress in developing skype for WP7.
I want to share my current progress with you, so maybe someone will want to join this little project, which, in future will be released for free, and probably with source code .
I'm not designer, as you will see from the screenshots, but, if you are, and want to join this effort in making skype, contact me asap.
nice work
i'm waiting for release
I'm not really a designer myself, but I'm pretty experienced with WPF/Silverlight programming, and I'm always up for a bit of open source work.
PM me if you want me to help out.

I second that.
I don't have much free time but i'd love to contribute to this project.
I've got some experience in Silverlight/WPF programming, so there should be several points where i can help out.
I've more on the development side as well but I've been doing lots of work with the notification system in wp7 and am happy to help out.
Pm me i could be useful.
this is great it should remain a sideload project though? Skype probably would not like it, or will they?
Anyway very very usefull and nice idea! If I would have some time I would love to help. Or at least test and bugfix and **** I'm not an educated designer, I'm just a perfectionist and hate ugly apps
nice job man!
I made a quick mockup about how the message thing can look.
I thought about just having 2 pivots or panorama pages with a contact list like you have now select a contact and swype t the left to chat with this person swipe to the right click a diffrent contact now it loads the chat of that contact. So that you will always have just 2 pivot pages, otherwise you might get lost if you have multiple people chatting at the same time
I made a mockup of how your conversations can look in metro style. Idk if you like it. I made it quickly the icons etc. are but ugly but just to get an idea. All the images are just copy and pasted from skype and wp7 haha so it was just pretty simple and wont pass the marketplace (not with the skype header at least).
It very similar to what you already made with the contactlist and just a logical next step of your work. I could code the layout for it for you ,but I dont think its that hard to code this design or to get these images.
(Ow and yeah the credits in the sample text is towards you ofcourse, great job, great project man!)
This is great, I know there is a long way to VOIP but this looks promising. Thanks pal!
I'm a Designer
I'm a pretty good deisgner. Well i have a lot of free time and i would love to contribute to your Skype client. If you would like to have somebody wih a lot of experience with design like photoshop, and expression, then please write me a message.
that is amazing... waiting for release
So niiiiiiiiiiice !! GJ, you could submit it to Skype...
as author respond me, private beta will be after 1 week, but public will be released after 2 weeks. :s
Any news on the progress of the app? Skype is one of the very few things I really miss on WP7 and to be honest chat is more than enough for me
if you need a designer,im in to help you,just ask
Again, I want to offer my help to the OP.
Coding C#/XAML is not a problem to me - But I'm not a good UI-Designer
Maybe i can help
Hey, i can make icons and layout for you, and i have some knowledge too, beside am in for beta testing. PM me in anyway you want me to help in coding and designing some icons too.
I have deleted all of the "I want to beta test" posts...the OP did not ask for beta testers, he asked for developers.
I'm sure he will ask for beta testers when he is ready, so no more of these posts please.
Thanks for the support.
I think that Skyper application will be delayed for a while.
Not sure how long, but, we are working on it.
Just recently implemented avatar support, enjoy!.
Hi guys,
I'm a senior .net dev, if you want a help for complete the voip part of the app you can contact me.
Nice work...
Hi All,
We've release a public beta version of our new app called "Bazaar".
This is an alternative marketplace for Windows Phone devices that allows you to install applications directly to you device.
For the developers among you -
If you want us to publish you app (for free of course!) in Bazaar, please send us a PM or an email and we'll be happy to help.
You can get more information in previous post we've published:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383648
We are planning to release a final release in the very near future.
Thanks!
Lidan and Ofir.
very nice we have been waiting for this
Wow! very interesting
Nice, thanks!
Looks really good!
Thanks guys...
If you have Apps that you have been implement lately, you are more then welcome to send me the details
Ofir.

WOW! Thanks for this awesome app!
Im using Bazaar for PC as my Optimus 7 doesnt support full unlock and it works really good.
We just need more apps to be in there, we should make this a sticky!
Some imporvements:
Maybe you could add a report update button?
And I dont really like the screenshot view, not really Metro like.
But keep on going with this, it's awesome!
THIS IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SKILLS AT ANDROID DEVELOPMENT, OR ARENT CURRENTLY PLANNING ON OR CURRENTLY MAKING SOMETHING NEW FOR OUR DEVICE DO NOT REPLY. THIS IF FOR DEVELOPERS ORGANIZATION ONLY. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE BASICS OF DEVELOPING THOUGH, OR WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN HELP US, DO NOT POST HERE, ASK ANY DEVELOPER THROUGH PM.
Well, I had to get that out of the way.
Me and Adriel were talking for a while today, and were thinking of having a developer conference for all developers of our device on the weekends. He has a business gotomeeting account we can use to audio chat, and share our computer screens live (and not use actual cameras for privacy reasons). We can have up to 25 people at a time. What we want to do is to get as many developers as we can on so we can talk about all our current projects, ways we tried to get stuff working, and what we want to do going forward. We also want to use it so that people (like myself) who are newer to development can ask the more experienced devs questions to get themselves better, and we can all maybe be on the same skill level eventually, and in general get more stuff for our devices going. Me and adriel are both able to do this on Sunday (me in the afternoon, Adriel TBA), and we wanted to see who else can join us. I want to be able to get this as a monthly thing if possibly on the weekends, and maybe weekly per availability on a smaller scale. Also if we can get it working, I want to find a free version to do the same thing, and allow anyone with development experience to host a group to allow general users to ask questions, and try to learn development themselves. I believe besides just normal test/audio chat being able to see each other's computer screens (hide anything personal first) would allow us to use much easier visual learning, and help the community as a whole. Tell me what you all think.
You can count me in.. I'm pretty new to development though... I'm just starting to get my feet wet... My only dev work (sorta)... Is the porting of the Lewas Rom to my beloved EVO 4G .... But I'm definitely interested in developing for this device (well at least learn something)...

Another original Evo user! awesome! Well instead of using gotomeeting we might just use google+ hangout- much easier, and dont need adriel to be on each time. I suggest taking your username and creating a google account with it for the hangout. for example mine is [email protected]. I will be on all weekend on google+ now.
Count me in!
I may or may not be available but most devs know how to contact me.

well the only issue I see here is gotomeeting doesn't support linux, so that eliminates me.
Whats wrong with everyone just hoping on an irc channel?

Shelnutt2, i was gonna suggest this type of thing. i noticed the current irc room is just noobs and what not who need help fixing/lgnpst'ing their phones. why not make two rooms #lgog-help and a dev room for you guys and testers.
that way, the dev talk isn't washed out with people needing help fixing their phones and dumb questions about eta

We decided to use Google+ instead. Much easier since its browser based, but only ten people. If someone wants to get $3 we can get up to 250 on oovoo.
Also IRC is good, but it doesn't allow us to see the persons screen, so no visual help. I can then see exactly what you click on, and just talk and not worry about talking while working. And if someone's getting help they can just listen to suggestions, and not have to look at a chat screen if they don't have multiple monitors. Also for chat for developers I was thinking of maybe using something besides freenode. Its not very mobile friendly, and I personally don't like it. Gtalk is the best for one on one it seems like, but we something like palringo- download the app on any OS for any smartphone/computer/tablet. Chats as big as we want for free, and it supports pictures and short audio clips. Also private messaging, bots, and such. And you just right click some bodies name to mod, admin, ban, or silence them. And permanent ban is possible. Then we can keep anyone not wanted out, but still let normal users that don't bug the channel float around and watch our chats. If anybody has another alternative to palringo, please tell me. I want us all to be as connected as possibly, and in all formats without it being a hassle. I want us accessible to each other, and even to normal flashaholics through chat, screen cast, and audio. Always accessible in case someone has an issue with a ROM or mod. Makes development easier.

Gtalk can have multiple people in a party chat. Also, there are several irc apps for Android.

On android, just open a chat, then menu, add friends and you can pick who to invite... Probably something similar on other clients.

I'll edit this as needed; however, I would like to get this seriously off it's feet. These are the following courses that I would be the best to learn for now. And have different developers teaching the course work once a week.
If we start tomorrow, we'll literally start extremely easy; however, it'll get harder. I think it'll be best if dedicated an hour and a half to all lessons (More for more difficult subjects) and developers teaching should have an agenda in mind. Here's a weekly schedule that sounds like it'll be beneficial.
Week 1: Copy & Paste Rom
Folder and File Structure (10 minutes)
Top Level Modifications (20 Minutes)
Updater Script (Commands and Permissions) (20 Minutes)
Implementing Aroma Scripts and Modified Updater Script (40 Minutes)
Week 2: De-compiling and Theming
Week 3: Setting up Linux Development Environment
Week 4: Developing a ROM from Source
Week 5: Developing a Kernel from Source
If you're a developer and want to teach any one of these, please reach out to me.
Some responsibilities for teaching include recording your screen as you present. This is specifically to be able to upload the video to youtube afterwards so that anyone can watch if they miss the session. The only disadvantage for users that watch the video is the inability to ask questions during the tutorial.
I'll also make accommodations for the developer depending on what they need. I'll help find solutions for video capturing software, which shouldn't be difficult.
Hopefully we can get this off the ground so that people are more knowledge about ROM development. Most of these tutorials can already be found online; however, it's always difficult to get started.
Thanks,
Adriel
If anybody wants, I am on right now. I can do the week 1 tutorial for new people, or talk about current projects with other devs.
I am on google+ under evo dev. my gtalk and email to find me is [email protected]. If you cant find me on google+ shoot me an email, and ill send you invite to a hangout. just put your hand over your camera so you can switch it off, then turn on screen cast. You can also use a normal chat if you dont have a headset or built in mic.
