I was playing around with ADW and I was adding a custom shortcut.
I went to ADW.Activities and was looking around for something fun to put on the home screen when I came accross a videocall.videocall intent under call settings
I will include screenshots for those who want to see it.

/*
I know this is a repost. I believed it didn't belong here at first so I posted it in GENERAL, there was no response at all. I was rethinking it and I am pretty sure this could be development related (Hopefully it will spur some much needed movement and inspiration to do more in future ROMS.
If a mod feels this belongs in GENERAL just delete this as one exists there
If a mod feels it should stay here, please delete the one in GENERAL

**READERS***
Is this a setup of sorts for native videocalling on the phone? Is this sprint only?
Do other people have this on there phones?
The shortcut opens to a window with options for setting up how the phone handles video calls but I dont see anything in the phone anywhere about making a video call.
Any ideas.

P.S.
anyone who wants to see this on their phone should add a custom activity to their adw home screen and goto callSettings-->video call(videocall.videocall)
My guess is that they are anticipating the use of the VIDEO_CALL (or whatever) intent. Pure speculation on my part, however.
I read through that and don't see a video.call intent... Could you highlight it for me? Or maybe just quote. I have been developing for android for quite some time now, with the occasional hacking and library modification.
I have never heard, other than a rumor, native support in an android phone. (and the rumors I have heard all talk about gingerbread.) A platform update would not need seeds in the system for future usage.
I dont mean to rip on you sorry it sounds like it.

Oh don't worry about "ripping" me, I haven't started development on the Android yet, I've just been reading up a bit on it.
As you pointed out, I was just speculating on how ADW would have support for video calls when such apps aren't common yet. I guess any new intents would be in the OS already, which they aren't. Sorry!
Anyone have any idea? Wheb I get home I will pull this file and baksmali it to see if I can find more from it, using a debugger.
By the way, the activities menu in adw just polls the phone for intents built in to the applications to add as a shortcut these do not belong to adw

I was given a TMobile G1. I really like the hardware of the phone; however, I detest the Andriod OS. (I know everyone LOVES it, but I'm not among that crowd) My Main phone is a Kaiser. (Which I have a long running Love / Hate Relationship with) I need Windows Mobile, but I love the G1's hardware layout.
Is there a ROM out there (or is someone developing one) that will let me flash Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro onto the G1 instead of this awful cartoonish OS?
Thank You,
Karl N.
Sadly there is no support for those who can't figure out how to search.

Android is the future anyway, if you don't like it as-is just stick with the Kaiser. Winmo won't support the capacitive screen anyway.
Hey - Neoobs - Bite Me
Neoobs, I've been a member of this forum for as long as you. I just don't go around flaming people for posting a simple question. And since I was doing so FROM my Kaiser while on a SLOW GPRS Connection, searching the site wasn't really an option.
It was a valid question. Yes, I have since searched and found the other posts.
So in short, BACK OFF! It's people like you that make this place less and less friendly every day.

If you have been watching these forums your first post is identical to many others that were started by trollers. I don't get your logic and the reasoning behind it. You feel special because your browsing these forums on a phone on a slow dial up speed connection? So that means you can post and ask for help instead of search?
Maybe if you had posted around a couple times you wouldn't be seen as a troller. It is people like you that make developers want to stop helping those who indeed know how to search and use the search function.
In short, don't put yourself on that pedestal just because your too lazy to do the actual work.
Please direct all WinMo question/concerns at this thread.
This thread will be closed.
Thank you
Under most popular apps, #6 is an app that monitors your service time if you're a Jehova's Witness. Really?

I agree...horrible organization and what not, if theres one thing that makes the iPhone what it is..it's the ease of the app store and the number of apps, not to mention there quality apps. One of the few things Google could learn from Apple.
Lmao, I had to check for myself, and sure enough.. It was there lol. I guess a lot of jehovas use Android.
I had to check.....
You would think Google would have some kind of relevant idea of how to properly organize, sort, and search data. I think might be cool for them to move into that field of research. What? That is Google's business?
on a serious note.. wtf is up with the market anyways, very poor features.. why cant we search by downloads number? rating? seems like basic functionality requirements of a marketplace to me.
sigh..
I believe that the best seller apps update or are reset once a month or once a week. That's the only explanation I have.
Is there somewhere to make an official request for a market filter (blacklist)? I would love to be able to blacklist publishers so they don't show in my search or any listing in the market. Genwi comes to mind as a garbage publisher that needs blacklisted.
Also, do "test" apps have to show up in the main Market? Really?? Come on.... Maybe devs should have their own sandbox market to play with.
That'll be great
What a joke, now that Jehova's Witness crap is #4. Is that organization paying Google or is the Market organization just ****ing retarded? I know that's not the 4th best selling app.
I love my nexus, but the whole market/app thing seems to be way over googles heads.
I sure hope we're not waiting for Froyo to get a better market.

I was curious to see a "native theme" and to see if it asked for any Permissions when I went to install it.
It installed and I am able to select the theme and it even applied (pretty nice, even the icons are sans-backgrounds) but it's been showing as "Installing..." the entire time...

}
I did a Restart to see if that would kill the ongoing "Installing..." progress and that took care of it. I'll email the Developer and I figured I'd post my experience here, in case anyone ran into the same *issue.
It's a pretty slick looking theme, although the circuit board image is a bit too much for me. I like the clear icons and the Android-green throughout. I'll ditch the circuit board lock image, but it persists throughout (e.g. in the App Tray).
Some screen shots...
I'm one of the few that actually likes the mySense/TMO twist on Sense and while I've tried LP and ADW, I'm quite happy with stock. Standard issue just feels better sometimes.
I also realized some might not like the images posted inline, but I'm a fan of not having to click to open an image (unless it's got a thickbox wrapper).
I talked to the developer of this theme also (really nice guy)
He did an amazing job on it.
but the green is not my thing so i have been talking to him about how he was able to make it. (only one i have seen)
he said it has to be done by source so im looking into that.
i would love to start making themes for the my touch 4g.
i dont have the phone im just working on a port for the incredible and would like to make some themes for all the people using the port and would post them here also.
Just figured i would point this out incase no one else has seen it.
looks like we can get xoom based roms going.

Okay, since no one on XDA knows how to operate the search function or even read a thread on the first pages of General or Android Development that they post in, I'll make this tutorial.
1. Click this button:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Type in what you think is a useful post:
3. Check the threads that result.
4. If they don't pertain to what you want to talk about, then make a post. Might want to do a few searches.
5. If search is down, at least look past the first thread.
For the love of God, please do not make any more HC threads.
The Nook Color has a very ghetto-rigged version of HC that barely works. We don't have it because the AOSP hasn't been released and the boot.img hasn't been grabbed from the Xoom (more important than the system dump). Another issue is Nvidia hasn't released the Tegra 2 proprietary libraries.
No one on XDA knows how to read apparently. Just a few threads for HC:

Really? 14 threads in General about HC and 2 threads in Android Development (not counting deleted/moved threads).
If you don't want to be flamed here, don't post things that have been posted.
P.S. Sorry to go all out on you, but I and many others have gotten tired of sifting through all this clutter.
Ugh... Nevermind.

Thanks for seeking to be involved. I am sure that TheJesus (non-deity for sure) meant no ill will.
Search can be daunting to say the least as it's not very intuitive - I do know that some changes are in the works for searching at an undetermined time...
Closing this thread to stop flaming.
So, I was very bored, and I made a concept. I'm sure you've all seen GridOS, and I know that you've probably seen many people asking for it. I really wish we could get something like this going on android. I know literally nothing about creating apps (yet) but I wonder if the designer of Launcher 7 would be interested, my concept is basically a 4-way-scrollable version of his existing app. I'd be willing to help with graphics in ANY way.

I feel that this should be in themes
It would be nice to see grid os, I thought it was built on android? They say they can use android apps so I'm assuming yes we just need to port or *a* port.

Actually, this isn't just a theme. This is a hopeful development thread for a full-fledged home replacement app. I contacted the developer of Launcher 7, and he said that he doesn't have time to work on anything right now. He did say, however, that he was playing around with the idea of a Windows 8 launcher for android, but that this looked much more interesting.
Very interesting idea, actually more interesting than the Win8 layout itself. I haven't got right now time for coding tablet, but if I prototype it again, I'll definitely look at this approach over win8.
