it's a paid application, why don't you hire a professional?
So you want someone to create content for your app for free, so you can sell it? At which point you will shamefully acknowledge the winner as "the sucker who did your work but you didnt pay?" Am I missing something here...

might be harsh statement.but creating a flash screen thingy,without knowing the application logo/image thats in the drawer,is kinda hard.
because the might both be TO different from each other.

They don't need to match, but if you would like you can enter in both contests.
One week left. No entries so far for the splash screen. We may extend this contest's deadline.
We have 5 entries for the logo.
You are asking something that requires:
1) AT LEAST one hour of work to put out anything good (usually a lot more though).
2) Decent artistic skills. Without any concept whatsoever, logo, icon, etc. the designer here needs to basically invent everything from the ground up.
3) High technical skills that usually come after years of experience.
People are happy to help out their fellow devs here, when it's a free project. But for something commercial, 20$ just ain't going to cut it IMO.
This is below the hourly wage for a decent graphic designer in most places.
Personally I'm a hobbyist in that department, and I'd be happy to spend a couple of hours trying to create something, but my time is quite expensive and 20$ is pretty far from worth it.
Just my opinion....
This is not a high volume application. We currently don't have the revenue to hire a graphics designer. We realize that this contest isn't ideal for everyone. We are looking for hobbyist or new graphic designers that want to get their name out there.
Some possible themes.. radar echos from the radar app, radar domes, radar rings, lightning, hail, tornadoes (or hook echos), pickles, L3, .. please no sweep lines.
Thank you brkgnews.

We are looking to upgrade our splash screen graphics. Submit your ideas and if you win you will get the $20 (USD) cash prize and will be credited within the program.
We are also having a contest for a new app icon. Find more info on the icon contest at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976234
Pykl3 Radar is an Android app that takes raw 8-bit level 3 radar data from the National Weather Service and renders it from the native format. There are no re-sized bitmaps and the flexibility of vector graphics illustrates the benefits.
Find more info on this app at pykl3radar.com
We need a landscape 1280x800, and a protrait 800x1280 version.
The preferred image format is PSD or PNG. Ensure that text is no closer than 15% of the width from any edge. The application title is "Pykl3 Radar". Bold Arial typeface is suggested, but not a strict requirement. Themes may make use of a pickle in the design. This is also not a strict requirement. Entries should portray a professional product as it will be used by various users from storm chasers to emergency managers to professional meteorologists.
The work must be your own. Winning contestant consents to artwork being used in the PYKL3 application, promotional material, web pages, etc. either as original or modified for the particular purpose of use. No additional royalties are extended to the winning contestant. Credit for artwork will be limited to the application PYKL3 Radar and may appear on other works without credit. Final acceptance of artwork is reserved by the author of PYKL3 Radar. We reserve the right to select a null winner in the contest. Questions and seeking of feedback is encouraged.
Entries are due by March 15th, 2011.
If you would like feedback before you post your entry, please contact via PM or email pykl3radar @ att DOT net.
Please post your ideas below and on March 15th we'll open a poll for voting and we'll announce the winner on March 25th, 2011.
Do you mind extending the entry date by 1 day, I would love to submit an entry or two to add some more variation to the competition!
Thanks a bunch!

for testing purposes only. If you like it, Please purchase the program to support the author.
[PP: link deleted]
So let me get this straight. You bought the program for $22, like I did, and are now posting it here? And since you're posting it on this BB, it uploaded it to xda-developers servers, which means xda-developers are now hosting pirated software? Not something a webmaster wants to find on his site in this day and age.
Doesn't quite sound like a smart idea, now does it?
We may be hackers here, but not pirates!
I think he forgot to mention that he posted it for testing purposes only and that if the person likes it they will purchase the program themselves so enabling the author to carry on programming and feeding his family from his efforts.
tho i dont support piracy, i must admit, programs are very expensive now days! i mean $22 for this?
i got several games for $6 - $15. and quite good ones too!
why dont they keep prices low? its not like they're making state of the art programs! most are like a pig&poke.
the ONE program i refuse to pay full price for is the iastyle caller id, and that is because they give v2.0 for free , yet they charge $16 for v1.0
thats not right. atleast drop the price!
Can't get it to work anyway :?
think it is a kind of a bait. the file isnt working. think it is a fake.
I fixed it...
it seems very strange that when upload the programs to this server...It is modified automatically.
so I just put the file in my server, it is ok now.
if you like it, please do purchase it to support the author.
Granted the trial version only supports 6 calls, but really - how many of us really go out and purchase things we downloaded full-version for free unless we have an ultra-guilty conscience.
Oh, and to get it working I found you need to put nothing in for country code (even though it complains). Most of my contacts are formatted (xxx) xxx-xxxx not +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx like the program seems to expect.
Hello,

You post in this thread and ask why prices are high?
If piracy grows prices will grow too... It's a simple calculation:
Product price = Development costs / (estimated) number of purchases

Well Im not an economist but I know the converse is also true. High cost of softwares (compared to what is reasonable for the usefulness of a particular software) actually drives piracy. $22 or about 1/10 of the cost of Windows XP is too much for this particular software. I will be glad to get a pirated copy!!!!!!! :twisted: But if this is say $5. I will be ashamed to steal it.
Give it a try and reduce the price of this software and see if turnover will not increase.
NB: The software is good, though!
Hello again,
since there are not many devices on market (compared to windows XP machines) the price must be like $80 per copy ...
But I noticed one simple fact now. Most people of you don't want software for mobile devices...
So I think about a very simple thing. I will stop making software for mobile devices and wait until their are MANY users and I can provide cheaper versions.
Maik
Hi
Better stop this discussion as it is.
I already bought this product. It is good. Compared to CallerFirewall (you'll find it on this site, somewhere), it offers the possibility of having different profiles (but the other program is free).
One thing I noticed though, is that in order to work, this program must be kept running minimized. So if you have a task manager that actually closes programs when you press the X button, you should not use it. There should be an option to keep it running on the command bar, or present it as a today plug-in.
Hello,
the closing by taskmanagers will be fixed by the upcoming update (I think we will release it this week).
Maik
For the people that use SPB PocketPlus, this task manager contains a feature to add programs to an "ignore" list. You could add smartfilter.exe ... works like a charm.
With my aquisition of thomspon clinical xpert I had an epiphany on the type of rom I eventually want to create. It would include things such as handy sniffer, bluezard, sniffi, a mac address changer, thompson clinical xpert and some form of an app that can measure weight via the touchscreen (digital scale). lol..

You want to make an app that turn your tochscreen into a digital scale?!?!?? Who said being a "geek" wasn't cool. If possible i wonder what the range would be??? Even just a couple grams would be awesome
I just want to see a rom solely dedicated to pentesting. All out, cain_ppc.arm, etc, etc.
Lol, i like your idea.. a Weed weight Scale
handy for all those junkies out there.. including me
Weed Scale?!?? Who would need a weed scale *puff - puff - pass * *cough* cough* ... I dont think we promote the use of such substances here.... The PC term would be a "jewelers scale"
Hmm... Touchscreen scale...
You know what, that is theoretically possible. Touchflo programs have a pressure measurement associated with them and it shouldn't be all that difficult to utilize the same api (and a few calculations) to get an accurate measurement of (up to) a few grams.
Damn, I wish I had time to play around with this.
If anyone could point me in the right direction for the api's or NETCF 3.5 classes to look at, I may be able to come up with something. I just don't have time to do the searching myself.
I get pissed off when I get tobacco on my phone's screen from having it in my pocket with a pack of cigarettes ...
so I can't imagine using it to weigh weed or any other powdery substances... Plus in my opinion, these types of dealings would require a degree of precision that I don't know most people would want to trust their phone for ... when it wasn't made specifically for.
I think you should stick to a good ole AWS

I think the screen scale app would be great. Even if it isn't accurate to the 9th decimal place.

Agreed. Sandwich bags weigh nothing...
Imagine the look on their faces when you whip out your phone/scale.
Where I come from a sandwich bag weighs .2g . (depending on size) Seems like this idea is getting some play. I'm gonna have to do a little research. This may have been attempted before.
and dont forget to add dopewars to the game section to let people new to the game to practice
The Batman version if he owned a Wing.
Just before ascending on his powered grappling hook, Batman assesses if he can carry Vicky to safety with himself.
Batman (to Vicky Vale): How much do you weigh?
Vicky: A hundred ten...
Batman: Here, hop on my Wing, it's all I carry on my utility belt, besides this grappling hook, but I digress.
The screen cracks.
Batman: 110 huh? I doubt that. You'd better go alone on this ride, hang on. Batmobile, come get me and take me to the T-Mobile store, stat!
Hey everyone. I'm working on a new launcher for my T-Mobile Dash (S620). Its in its infant stages. i have a few sketches, and 1 fleshed out concept. I'd like to get some feedback and see what y'all think. The pin-wheel above the clock would rotate to show day and night. It was inspired a bit by the layout of the xbox 360 dashboard... and every other according menu ever made (microsoft wasnt first)
codename: Rada-Dash

love your mock up. Imo, I would see what those tabs cascading from highest on left to lowest on the right might look like. then make every one a different color- user customizable even. I really dig what you got there othrwise great work.
I don't have a dash, but that looks pretty sweet. I would use it if I did and I do have a few friends with Dashes and I would definitely let them know about this.

I have a little bit of documentation reading to do before i get started on development. I'll try to keep this thread updated for y'all. I'd love to work along side someone who knows what their doing. i can write actionscript and parse xml all day long... What will hold me up this project, is my unfamiliarity with developing software for wm6.
looks great.. hope to try it soon..
Radakast,
Looks good. Hope to see the finished article soon.
WB
Looks like the blade style like the xbox360 uses. Nice! This would be an awsome launcher for my 8525. I must commend you on taking the launcher gui in a different direction. Most people are stuck in the Diamond/Iphone theme rut and its causing a lot of repetitive results. Enough of my babbling. I definitely will be keeping an eye on the development of this launcher.
Brilliant idea! Your design is way too dark however.
Seriously one of the best home screen concepts!
Forgive my ignorance but is your device a smartphone? What program will you use to develop your screen? Having just left a smartphone (Moto Q) I was under the impression that the homescreen customization is limited except for a few programs (i.e. SBSH Facade, phoneAlarm). If there is hope for homescreen customization, i'm all for it. I am just curious how it is possible.
Hey guys. I spent a few hours working on this this weekend. thanks for everyone's replys
@Vision77
Thank you. I'm a web interface designer, and im trying to bring alittle bit of that action to the smart phone platform.
@N1c0_ds
Yes it is way to dark. I designed it in my pitch black room at 2 in the morning and it looked plenty bright. I made a demo for my phone (linked below) and i was tryign to show it off to people yesterday and had to cup my hand over it... not good! my next revision will be much lighter.
@jerkules
You are forgiven. Its written in Flash Lite (Targeted Flash Player 7 written with Actionscript 2). I can blabber on and on about the technical abilities of flash player 7, but I'll spare you. pretty much its going to work like this:
dash.exe will be written in vb or c# and will work as the glue between the phone's api and flash. it will interpret the phone's commands (ie: display that you have missed a call) and my flash api (which will be open source when im done so you can all make custom phone aps in flash...) will update the flash movie with the new information. and then wm6.1 will be told to use dash.exe instead of regular home.exe.
And now for the update.
I'm really excited for this project. yall seem to enjoy it so ive added it to my stack of things to work on.. Here is the progress i've made
And because its made in Flash. i can post a real example, not just screenshots of it.
http://www.motionharvest.com/forums/xda/dash/radadash/examples/clock_and_sliding/
I've made a small movie too. this examplifies N1c0_ds analysis that its too dark. im also not going to win any cinematic awards for my camera work.
http://www.motionharvest.com/forums/xda/dash/radadash/examples/clock_and_sliding/dashexample.wmv
enjoy
reserved for possible update
Great Idea!!! i really like it, if i may just make a suggestion, maybe on the slider for texts, have some type of notification that there are unread texts. maybe something for missed calls as well? cant wait to see where this is going. Good luck!!
Great idea, love simplistic designs. If you need any help with the flash stuff I would suggest twolf, he's done really great work with flash for throttle launcher.
I've just seen this & I must say it looks really interesting. Has there been anymore progress on this recently?
To the OP - are you able to update us on progress please?
Thanks

The blogging-service Tumblr is really great but it would be even better if we had a mobile application (like the iPhone guys do).
I´m no developer myself but I hope someone could help. Of course I´m prepared to donate and I think others are as well.
[For users:]
If you are prepared to donate please post the amount you would donate, if the app delivers you needs and wishes.
[Bounty so far:]
20€ by me for a fully functional, good looking app.
10$ by hrhnick for full dashboard experience
[For devs:]
Here is the API documentation, seams like normal HTTP requests and some XML.
I could help with graphics as well (if needed). Here is a first sketch how the app could look like, I simply took the graphics from the official site and put them together in Photoshop.

def interested. i'd donate for the full tumblr dashboard experience. $10 USD
Maybe everyone adds the amount of money he/she is willing to donate!
Posted a first sketch of how the UI could look like. Basically I think a mobile app of a service that already exists should always resemble the look. I´m not sure how far my sketch is doable in reality (I´d say that depends on the dev ^^) but basic things like the logo or the colors are realistic.
Screenshot from the opensource app "OpenTumblr"
Its pretty much scaled to the right small factor, and runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Maybe a dev could port/modify it to PPC?
I don't use tumblr but any thoughts on using a java version? Here are two:
http://www.daneshzaki.com/post/42011810/tumblej1-1
http://code.google.com/p/tumblrj/downloads/list
I hate Java...nevertheless I will try it, thanks for the tip.
EDIT: Ok, I did a bit of binging and found a Windows-client based on .NET; maybe this Open-Source app could provide the basis for a mobile .NET app!
http://feedfeast.com/wintumblr/
im so jealous with Iphone users because they have this app for free.. but i can still donate 10$ for using this apps.. this is the best UI that Tumblr client should have..
have now become opensource!
let the magic begin devs!
http://feedfeast.com/wintumblr
the bounty is too low
to be honest, no dev in the right mind will go for a mere 50 dollar bounty which asks for a full function. i'm writing one right now and to include the full dashboard experience with only a 10 dollar and 20 uero promise is crazy.i have better luck posting it in market place when its done later, even with cut down funtionality and sell it at 2.99.
update,
just studied the source for wintumblr and for the moment, i think an app for posting is totally achievable, but for an app with dashboard... might take longer.
now i have a working text and photo posting function. its enough for me. will post screenies from the device emulator later.
I tried both of the java ones on my HD2 and when it asks if I want to install, it attempts to then says the file is corrupt. :/

I can offer some help , basically I develop for .net3.5 framework , not for compact framework, but still. ojosdegris (at) gmail dot com
Is this project now dead?
i really wish they made a tumblr app for htc hd2
ok so i got a bit bored doing my Law Case Study so i quickly chucked together this Google talk widget concept.
its very much in the zune/windows phone 7 look but at the same time i tried to make it match the new gingerbread colours and be comprised of very minimal elements to make it easier for people who like to skin things
in my mind it works very simply, the bottom displays a series of dots each dot represents a contact to switch between contacts you simply swipe left / right along the contacts gmail at the bottom (localised swipe to prevent issues with home screens).
you type in the top box black represents incomming the grey / white represents outgoing. green dot is obviously status (contemplating making contact dots at bottom represent status colours to)

well if you would like to put me down as a designer you can , but that's about as far as my usefulness will probably go on your project as there is no way id be able to code anything for a very very long time.
ideally i would like a code partner lol so i could design blah blah they can make it work then we can split market profit LOL!, ahh dreams
You can start designing for the dialer application. MDPI and HDPI must be done. Just tell me when you're done.
Omg that looks awesome. I was hoping someone could FINALLY make a gTalk widget of some sort considering it's my primary mode of communication.
Hopefully something arises from your concept. Will be monitoring and donating if something like this would come to fruition.
Wow, this would be awesome, one of the few apps that I'd actually pay a couple of quid for (as long as it was relatively bug free).
Times like this I wish I could code, would love to see this.
I'd love it too. Really raises questions as to why one isn't included in stock..
wow this widget would be badass.....
ill keep an eye out for it in the future
if only I knew coding id be happy to help..
let me know if you need any testers
Looks like a great concept, id love to test for it.

It will require the gtalk app to be hacked and a new api must be used to bring up the keyboard on homescreen and send typed letters/words to the widget.
btw: swiping left/right for changing contact won't work, it probably have to be implemented with two buttons.
And: The conversation list will probably have to grow from bottom to top so you can see what you are typing..
this widget is really needed ^_^
As a real Android AppWidget, this seems quite impossible.
Read the docs and you'll see how limited android app widgets are.
It is possible to integrate it in a launcher's code directly, and I would love to see it somewhere eventually. Nice design
And?
Scrollable widgets have also been impossible until developers agreed on a proprietary scrollable widgets api.
I'd love to see some sort of popup rather than a widget. If you're already going to press home and scroll over to a widget to check/send messages, it isn't much more work to just open the app. But if you could make some sort of popup that could come up over any part of the screen, that would be much less work and actually be useful.
