Was wondering if there are any applications out there that can change the way your voice sounds while on a call
Sounds like a cool app and probably not impossible to make. Looking forward to someone making it.
+1, awesome idea....
me too
would be fun to screw with friends
yes! It would be cool...

Im pretty sure it is quite difficult to make since I vaguely remember something along the lines of the GSM radio taking over the microphone & speaker while on a call which means the OS can't get to the sound input/output without a lot of hacks and tricks.
Besides, doing live digital voice changing would cause a lag and increase the CPU usage a fair bit so expect the battery to drain..
I could live with that...
Even some distortions could do for amateurs ,we're not talking professional use, are we?
omg - if someone does this I will probably regret it
I have a (almost) 2 year old daughter - and she is alway trying to get a hold of my phone anyway.
It would be great to have something on it she could play with (me holding of course) - so my idea was this:
Display like 6 pictures and assign sounds to them.
Example: farm would be a cow, a pig, a rooster, ... and the corresponding sounds they make
another: family and friends with their own voices stating their names
For occupation in boring places like the doctors or whatever 'waiting-place' this would really be neat.
There would probably be many more ideas for kids - although it might not be to hot of an idea having them play with our Diamonds....
I'm no programmer - but this sounds to me like not too big of a deal right?
Anyone?
I've no problems taking this on for you, but you're right about letting your kids loose with your diamond...
What kind of things did you have in mind, like one of those things you get attatched to the side of those kids story books?
Would not take long to generate a simple re-usable interface, with a simple config file for assigning pictures and sounds to little picture boxes.
yeah - that was exactly what I had in mind!
And I am not planing on really 'giving it to her hands' - perhaps if it were to run on different resolution I might give her my charmer (looks like s*** anyway as I dropped it about a zillion times).
thx for posting - was not sure to get an answer since my idea does not include any sensor-functionality
hope to find some spare time tomorrow - I would check for some example pics/sounds
I'm interested too!
ME TOO... Please
I don't have any kids...
But it sound like fun ..
Will keep me occupied for hours!!

I`ve already got that but what i think schmeichler is after is something with pretty colourful pictures on that when pressed play childrens sounds. Not lazer guns and i fart in your general direction!!
me too.... sign me up....
x 2 girls 4 years (twins)
x 1 boy 5 months
Yeah, this is a great idea!

yea i figured this was a start since it does basically what you guys are looking for and it uses flash if you get the ok from the creator you could use a flash decomipler and change the works so instead of accepting text it accepts images because you can add whatever sounds you want
looks like this might be a solution i asked the developer and he said it will load an image so it just takes the user playin around with it to get it the way they want it to be
Bubble Breaker and Teeter work great for my 7 year old twins!
I'm just gonna go have some tea, and feed the dogs, then i'll start on this little project for you. I should be able to make it simple enough to modify, by restricting the config to a single file.
It will most likely have 6 buttons taking up the whole of the screen, which could be mapped to different images and sounds (Any more, and they'd be hard for little fingers to see and press, especially on non-VGA screens). For example:
Cow,./Farm/Cow.png,./Farm/Cow.wav
Chicken,./Farm/Chicken.png,./Farm/Chicken.wav
Hopefully it should be reasonably simple to get the structure in such a way that you could make a new folder for a theme, which had the ini file, along with a collection of sounds and pictures.
Any objections to this kind of layout before I begin coding (In about 30 mins)?

yeh I also have a two & half year age son, who wana do something with HTC

That should do the job for yu, although it was built quickly. If you need it to do more, than ask, but that does all you originally wanted. Instructions are on the page.
This sounds awsome.

I was just thinking one day and thought of a couple of simple but neat apps that any one of you talented programmers / coders on here can probably make happen. If you think their stupid thats ok too but I was just thinking...
1). "Knock on Wood"
This app would just be a simple picture of a tree or a 2x4 or a piece of plywood, etc. and when you knocked on it, it could just have a wav file sound of "knocking on wood". I am sure you could add vibration and haptic feedback to it as well. It would / could be used by all the superstitious peoples out there for when they need a bit of luck and are somewhere there is no real wood to knock on. I think it "wood" be neat... LOL!!!
2). "Karate Chop" (or something to that effect)...
This app could be a direct spin off of the "Knock on Wood" app mentioned above implementing a stack of 2x4's or bricks etc. and depending on how hard you tap the screen (or shake the phone) would break so many pieces of wood or brick or ice etc. Once again I am sure you could add vibration and haptic feedback to the app as well.
Unfortunately I am NOT a programmer and I only came up with the ideas but if one of you talented people out there want to take a shot at making these I "wood" love to see it!!!
What do you think? Can you make it happen or do you know anyone who can? Let me know...
Thanks...
I have made a new boot animation for NRGZ28, it's still in its early stages, and can only hope I have time for more. I'm a huge fan with what he has done to my phone, and he has compelled me to give back to the community.
My goal here was simple. Sometimes I forget(as im sure some of you do to) what it was like owning a stock Rhodium, and i cant even remember what the GUI even looked like. NRGZ28's ROMS, although amazing, does not change dramatically enough for me to be mesmerized everytime i pick my phone up as it used to. Although I'm sure this wont entirely do it either, it will at least remind you of what you hold in your hand! Or something like that anyways, i was never really good at public speeches
This should work for any of his ROMS
P.S.~~if anyone could post some feedback on how far the animation goes on your devices that would be great! that means the leo, rhodium, Raphael... and any other devices that have a screen of that size, on both energyrom and stock roms.. or any roms for those devices. and if you know a way to change the length given for the animations let me know pronto!! I recieved a new warranty phone and the animation isnt playing the same length anymore. not sure if this is due to newer updated roms or the fact that the energyroms tp2 splash screen isnt on there anymore, just shows the ATT splash screen. thanks
Follow me on
Buy me a beer!
​
Updated July 8th!
Cabbed/Shortened/Resized---No more BS work for you!!
Additional Notes:
1) At least on my Rhodium, the last second or 2 wont play. (the fade out) It will simply hang on the image for a few seconds. (which works just as good) The orginal was 14 seconds long and i had to speed it up as i am unaware of a way to customize the time wm gives for the boot animation. So if anyone knows of a registry setting or a program that will do this. let me know ASAP!
2) I will also work on getting a sound file for it as well if this becomes popular enough.
Install
1) Download .cab
2) Installs it directly to windows
3) It will ask you to restart
Uninstall
1) Go to settings->system->remove programs
2) Will automatically put back the default animation
Please be patient as doing 3d animations takes a long time, as well as tweaking issues just to have more arise. And don't even get me started on getting a decent gif animator, and then trying to get it to do what its designed to do
Downloads
NRGZ28-Thinking outside the box
hotfile download
Video Preview
Screenshots taken at different intervals(for those of you on outdated phones)
Reserved post 5
That looks really cool from the screenshots, the bouncing and then the electric explosion looking thing... haha. Cool work.
Any chance of having it just say HTC there instead of NRG? I think you would get quite a few more downloads/donations.
Also, a short video or gif would be cool so we can see what we're getting!
Idea for Startup Animation
Hi There,
I am a huge fan of energy Roms as well!
I thought the following would be cool!
X-mens wolverine blades comming through a screen shot making the famous-x and the at the bottom Energy ROM...
Wish I knew how to but maybe you can do this for us??

Hmm.. that sounds like a fantastic idea! so the problem is.. start up a new thread for more generic animations, or just change the name and make categories in this one?
Will most likely be uploading a youtube video of it today.

Yes, this was my first concept design.. but depending on where the X goes, it might require that i make hands and wrist at least(which is a little bit of work ) unless it slashes with the blades coming through the background..i forget.
i don't know the legality of putting the original wolverine slash in there, (and wheres the fun in that? ) but i will see what i can do
If anyone knows of some good x slash video's, post them up! as i seem to be having a ridiculously hard time finding any. people need to make tags better! you would think there would be hundreds popping up! but no, with the game out all i find is gameplays for origins-wolverine
i like it alot
i think its awsome. wish i had skill like that !
I agree, this is a stunning job!!

GREAT work man, i installed it,and it turns out that the XBOX360 startup sound lines up nicely with the animation, thats what i use now, if anyone wants the sound i'll link it up
what course man
i want some ! get some Comp on the table. better then heating and AC

I went for 2 years. I got 2 weeks off for winter break, and 1 week off for summer break. if you want your summer off you can have them add another 3 months for each summer. thats just for the associates degree. its another year for the bachelor degree and that gets you ready for making video games.

I will work on it as soon as i get a chance. Hopefully tomorrow or the next day. I will also try and do this for every boot screen I make. There will of course be a few that are only for energyrom
So, I got the vibrant, and overall I like it because its much more responsive than both my G1 and MyTouch, but kind of have the following thoughts.
1. I feel having an LED has to be a big mistake/oversight. I cant imagine the LED would have much added cost for samsung nor be very big/require much space. Yet would have a GREAT improvment on the user experience. I hate not being able to glance at my phone and see what happened. Plus, it's alot less battery than having to turn on the screen. There are some hacks - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725458 - being done to compensate, but none are 'great' solutions, although clever.
2. Battery life - for an AMOLED screen, I'm surprised my battery drains as fast as it does. It lasts me 3/4 of a day more or less. I do have a few things installed, and do use the feed widgt for facebook etc, and have gmail and work email synced. I think it still doesnt last as long as it should. I'm considering removing the facebook widget and adjusting sync times to get more battery back, but still feels lacking.
P.S. : Isnt there some sort of App that can help me identify which apps are using the most battery/CPU time?
3. Calendar Notification - This is something I cant understand. I have worke mail synced to my phone, as well as my calendar for it synced. I get long vibrations and sound (if my phone isnt on vibrate), but there is no way I can find to adjust the notification to be less annoying. I know other users have noticed the same issue
4. Bloatware - I dont mind the fact that they install alot of apps on the phone that other users may find interesting, but I really feel they should make it easier to remove them. I shouldnt have to go through extra effort to get the bloatware removed.
5. Camera App - its a nice app, but I dont like how after taking a picture it does not switch back to camera... you have to hit the back button.
6. Power on button - You already have to do a slide to unlock... why on earth is the power button so small and obtrusive? I feel this is a bit quircky.
7. Proximity sensor - I dont know about you guys, but it took me a while to figure out why, when I am on the phone, the screen kept lighting up on and off. I *think* I figured out that the proximity sensor right next to the ear piece detects if your head is near the phone, and if it is away from it, it will light up the phone. I find this rather annoying, maybe I hold the phone awkwardly, but several times it has lit up while talking and I've accidentally muted etc.
So ya, </rant>
Overall, the phone is nice and a well needed improvement over my previous phone, but I feel there were just a few simple things that samsung could of done to make it a solid release.
What do others think?

Waaaaaaa, I had to work last night and it sucked, When I got home the house was dirty obviously the wife didnt clean... I then proceeded to the bathroom where I stepped in a big turd from my dog, damn. After the turd I went to eat something and found the bread to be stale.. Now all the sudden My car wont start and I dont know whats wrong. On top of that I accidently sharted myself and now Im a Mess.....
Whooo cares, most of those are personal gripes and should have been checked out on the day of launch.. Sorry for my rant.

I think this should be posted on the Samsung forums rather than XDA. I am pretty sure nobody here can do anything about it and I am also pretty sure that nobody cares if you don't like your phone.

I'm glad you felt the need to be a complete jerk in your response. Very smooth and professional.
FYI the rant was partially so others (who may want to get the phone) know what issues and downsides I've personally experienced, and partially to see if anyone has any suggestions on ways to imrpove/fix some of my issues.
If you have nothing smart to say next time, it may be best to just keep it to yourself.

this posting was worth it allow for this fine joke of yours...nice one do you do stand up?
@temperbad - the reason people on this forum will harass you about your post is mainly this:
xda-developers is just that - a DEVELOPERS forum. Most people who want to complain about devices go to forums for those devices that address general discussion. This forum caters to people who "mod" their devices. While many new-comers do come to this forum and are welcomed - it is appreciated if they stay on topics related to app modification/generation, themeing, developing and modifying ROMS and such.
So, while many do get on here and post about other crap - it is only tolerated by those that seriously want to use these forums for the intended purposes.
Your rant about this device will most likely only be heard by those who own the device out of necessity or desire - AND, by people who are already committed to owning the device. THEY DON'T CARE about hearing someone complain about a device they are already committed to!
So, in the future please make these kinds of posts on forums on which people discuss more general topics or cater to the device "generally" instead of on a forum that is dedicated to DEVELOPMENT and MODIFICATION.
I am not attempting to be harsh - however, hopefully, others will read this and will not post topics that are not related to this forum.
MOST OF THE REALLY GREAT DEVELOPERS ARE RAN OFF from Development forums because of all the off topic comments. We hope that one day this will stop.... But, I am beginning to feel like all hope is lost...
@shaneaus - yes, I understand that, but I did post in the GENERAL section. Also, I understand this is a developer forum. I'm a developer myself and have trolled the forums for a few years, and there are some development solutions to the problems I mentioned (like notifications) etc...
Thanks for the thoughtful response though.
Every phone has it's shortcomings
Return it or whine about it
At this point I would suggest you move on
wait for the froyo update and some of your issues may be resolved.

Are you people serious? You don't know how a Proximity sensor works on these phones? "Bloatware" as if T-Mobile hid it from you and has SO much of it on this phone? "Photo review, a feature that YOU CAN TURN OFF IN THE CAMERA SETTINGS?!" "PS isn't there an app that will tell me what is using the most battery" - Wow. Just wow. And you call this a "rant"? Maybe you should consult the owners manual before creating threads like this.
You knew or should've known that there is no LED Notification light on this phone. If you're trying to tell me that the battery life is worse on this phone than the G1 you're doing something seriously wrong.
