Looking for a business partner. - Android Software Development

Okay, I have been software/computer guy since the 80's. I have a pretty good knowledge of most operating systems and how they function etc. Most all the learning that I have done has been through countless hours of woodshedding.
I worked for 16 years as a tech in a local business, that in January of 2009, closed for good. This past year, I have been developing a portfolio as a photographer.
So now I need to start making some money at it.
Here is what I am looking to do.
I would like to turn my HDRI photos into wallpapers, both live and dead for the Android Market. I need a developer to write a small app that represents my wallpapers in the wallpaper applet on the Droid. I want to make the collection live, so that I can "serve" new wallpapers as updates through my website.
For example, user buys the wallpaper apk from the market, it includes a live gallery from my website. Basically a lifetime of free high quality, HDRI wallpapers. The app needs to be able to read tags from the site and categorize the wallpapers into groups based on subject matter.
Please, if you are interested contact me. I will pay you a percentage of sales.
My photography is at: Http://river.adwheelerphotography.com so that you may see what I am talking about. Thanks!!
~Andy

I can t help u with the development of the app, but if it s ready i buy it!
Love your photos.

drop me an email. my username at gmail.

i love Letchworth State Park!

Wow those photos are amazing. what type of camera do you use? my gf wants to be a photographer , and my thoughts are best to learn with good equipment lol

@djh816 email sent.
I use Sony/Minolta. Best advice for a new photographer is not to worry about megapixels or bodies. Its the glass that makes the camera. Get the best lenses you can afford and that you can upgrade bodies if you need more features down the road. Don't skimp on the lenses.

WOW, I am impressed with your work looks fantastic!

Thanks Drew, with a little help hopefully I can get my photos on everyones Droid.

Android App Developer

Congrats on the photos' dude! I'm into photography too, however I don't have a good camera.
I would recommend going to dAmn. http://deviantart.com/
you can make a quick buck on there Have fun!

New App idea! Looking for Android Developer

I am a Technology Consultant by profession and I am fascinated by Android. I have some creative Android App ideas but I am not so good at java so unable to make things work by myself.
That's why I am looking for a developer (Preferably from India) who can help me out with this thing. I cannot pay anything but just looking for someone who has the potential to develop Apps but still did not get any attention.
Why should you help me for free?
1. App's developer section will have your name with me.
2. I guarantee that the App idea I have will be a hit.
3. There is no such application still in the Android Market.
4. You have got nothing to lose.
So if you have the zeal for developing android app and want to be famous (Yes, I believe my app idea is that good), Please leave a comment and we can then discuss things.
Thanks for reading!
okay, I'll bite, but I only develop for android in my spare time.
im in....just PM me or email [email protected]
sure ill help
RE
[email protected]
thanks!
Thanks for replying guys, I'll contact you by this weekend and discuss the details.
You guarantee your app will take off even though you can't spell correctly. I hope you're right.
Lol, kidding. Good luck.
I have an app idea for the healthcare industry so as you know what that industry has been like for many years you will know anything that can help healthcare and put money in workers' pockets is going to be a winner.
it will also save care homes and the NHS a small fortune.
parliament met me and nearly fell off their chairs they couldn't believe what a great idea it was.
but with a lack of funds its getting it made.
if someone could make it without money upfront I would happily go 50-50 on it.
and i cannot guarantee fame if it took off it would be innevitable.

Small Photo App Idea (w/ a twist). Need help!

Hello. I have an idea for an app but unfortunately have no time/idea how to write code ect. Knowing that this is the only place to find good info on android development I went straight to this forum.
Basically I need help building an apk that will allow you to frame a picture from your camera with different templates(animals, celebs, ect.) as well as add different effects to it (stretch, skew ect.) I know that this sounds fairly common and there are several apps that do this already (placeface?), but my idea has a simple twist.
With all the news lately about people getting into trouble over lude cellphone pics(favre,(R)weiner,kanye to name a few), why not capitalize off of it? My idea is to take a simple photo app but gear it to the invetible "**** pic" capturer. Yes, a **** pic app! With this app you should be able to take a picture of your junk and frame it like an elephant, girraffe, or place your own member on someone elses frame. Am I the only one who thinks this would be hilarious??
Please respond with your thoughts or PM me with ideas. Thanks in advance!
*I dont know how much developers charge or if that is acceptable on this site, but I have a paypal account
Hahahaha. Wow... dress your member.
All i can say is that this would never fly on ios.

Nudge - promising messenger project on kickstarter (WhatsApp alternative)

Hi everyone,
I just discovered a promising project on kickstarter which - in my opinion - is worth a look and might deserve some more backers.
It's called "Nudge" and is a very slick and straight designed Messenger app. Next to the design and some promising features I appreciate most the promised cross-platform experience. I always hate to type WhatsApp messages on my phone while I'm sitting in front of a computer anyhow.
Have a look for yourself: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/f1f1rul3s/nudge-the-instant-messaging-app-like-no-other
As with every WhatsApp alternative the most important question will be whether enough people will install the app and form a relevant user base.
Please note that I'm not affiliated with the project in any way, I just thought that XDA would be a good place to find some people who appreciate promising app concepts.
Best,
Becksman
Hey,
I backed Nudge. Lets hope it will be successful in funding and after that popular.
And it looks like "Nudge" needs a lot more backers, so go ahead and give the guy 5 bucks so he can build the messenger.
Yep. Backed them too.
While the goal of 150k GBP might seem a little ambitious as of today, I really like the idea. And if they shouldn't reach their goal - no-one gets charged. So c'mon - back this project.

Dear developer, I've tried this app. Tough there's Ad banner under the screen, it's very useful. But some how it can't open my mp4 shoted by my phone showing "no subtitles". Pls fix. Besides it could be better if you could add some guiding UI or instruction pages at the beginning of the program, when this app is opened by user at the first time. 5 stars. Keep it up!
Would you like to have a try on Locker Master? If find it good pls rate it. It won't disappoint you.

Cheap marketing for your app with @Apps_and_Game

Heya guys, im here to share some news with you all.
I started working with a Marketing Company a month ago, and one of their branches does marketing services for Apps and Games developers, specially for Indies... They have a big community in Instagram with over 20.000 users, being one of the biggest Apps Page on Instagram, their page is called @apps_and_Game.
I proposed to my Boss to do a special offer to our community developers since im from this community and so on, I've found it usefull and could be useful for you guys as well, to shoutout about your games and projects... but more important than that, to do it CHEAPLY.
From my personal point of view as a Game Developer, I've found this Advertising option incredibly good for us around here, specially for mobile developers.... why?
-Instagram is a Mobile Social Network... This means if the user is checking the @apps_and_Game page, and reading about your game, they are doing it through their mobile devices, and if they like your App they will directly download it since they have the device on hand! Its a different effect than getting the advertising while surfing on their PCs.... People are more likely to jump to the Appstores and get the app they just saw in the palm of their hands, even if its awesome or kinda good since there is no need of a big effort.
- Instagram is a combination of Visual and Textual Advertising (since you publish pictures and images) but also text and information can be added, so its a quick method to catch attention of any kind of public.... and you can even ask to publish videos of your app!
- Followers are from your niche.... This means that if you like a page on instagram, you click to "Follow that page", that way the 20k+ community they have on @apps_and_Game are all people that are APP HUNGRY, they want to receive news about...well, apps and games to install them right away
- But the most important... Its economical dude. When i was in my pursuit to advertise my game i found tough options, coming from 50$ to up to 500$ to get a featuring, which is a hard investment when you are starting on this business, but this guys have friendly prices for developers, and much more with the nice discounts i proposed for our community, being as low as 5$ for publishing and talking once about your Product, and you can repeat it as many times as you might need, adapting your strategy to your budget since they show different prices and offers.
Hope this info is useful for you guys, ill also keep you informed around here the following weeks!
I've seen this work well with Instagram and Vine influencers extremely well. However it's more for LIfestyle/Social apps, but still another channel that definitely is underutilized.

Bots? how can u say that by the likes? engagement comes from content type, not from users amount... and if it was the case, still an average of 600likes and more than 4k views in videos for only 5$ per post is WAY TOO ECONOMICAL for any developer, a single instal costs around 2$ depending the country so do your maths my friend
I do understand all that instagram thing, the average likes per subs percentage is around 5% however yours one is 10 times lower. But yeah perhaps it still provides a bit of effect to your client.
I didn't intend to post more negative things, don't know why you are willing to continue this discussion.

Im not continuing the "discussion" im just replying your post because it did seem as a negative post and may affect an honest business reputation, specially if coming from you under a -dont really understand the instagram thing- state, just chill!
