[Rada-Dash] Launcher Design

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.

kewl one waiting bro any expected date for release

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.

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

Elocity A7 tablet section request

Hi guys,
As we know that Elocity A7 start shipping and some had received their toy.
If possible can someone create a new Elocity section.
I am sure a lot of people exited with its new tegra processor
Thank you.

I second that thought

Third it!!!
So far scouring the net i have read one review on Amazon only by someoen who actually got theirs.
Its not vapor eare ad is quite intriguing. Seems it could also be a 7 inch kin to the g tablet

can't wait for your unboxing
Keys for me are :
1)viewing angles and that resolution is good enough
2)responsiveness of Ui
3)rootable to get market on it
4)battery life

Well my A7 now is at ups truck, can't wait until ups guy knock my door
For resolution I am sure will not be a problem since my archos 70 has some resolution.

Agreed, this needs a section. How can Notion Ink already have a section yet availability set for late January???

Yes new section for Elocity A7.
I ordered yesterday and it shipped today. I'm so excited I shaking.

Received my A7 few minutes ago, it is extremely fast.
The only let down is this device doesn't support hardware multi touch, I think.
Browser that come with it have pinch to zoom support but its jerky and does not render properly, pinch to zoom on dolphin hd is not supported at all.
This defeat the purpose of having tablet as internet browsing machine.
Well, I will wait for few days to see if there is any fix about this issue, otherwise she will go back to tigerdirect

I support the petition.. please create Elocity A7 Forum section!

Agreed. Please create this section.

Video Player in Elocity to play 1080P movies?
Can anyone tell me what kind of Videoplayer insalled in the elocity to play 1080P movies. GTABLET doesn' t play 1080P movies with Hardware decode. Also i like the launcher if some can post the APK!!!

Initial feedback
Just my random notes, I'm not an Android developer, but I have been running a rooted Droid for quite awhile. And advanced novice...
-Rooted out of the box, able to install Superuser. Getting fc with SetCPU, but Titanium Backup works fine.
-Wifi connected immediately. Hasn't lost connection. Streaming Pandora for two+ hours.
-Feels very quick. Page downloads in Dolphin HD are quick with minimal latency. Quadrant = 1900
-Able to stream video from Orb via the web interface with no changes to settings (nice!)
-Running apps with no problems: Newsrob, Pandora, Skype, ADW, Act 1 Video, Dolphin
-Winamp wifi sync working
-Speedtest.net: On my 10/5 Comcast account, scored 5/3.5. Droid scored 1.3/.7
-No multi-touch: Tap to zoom in Dolphin.
Wish list:
-Cyanogen ROM
-Overclock
-Marketplace
-Multi-touch
Overall, I'm very pleased for a $299 tablet and I'm definitely keeping it. If 1-3 on my wishlist come true in the next few weeks, I'll be absolutely thrilled with this.

I'd love to see a elocity section. Thanks!

Elocity Section
I'd like to see one created also
Thanks

Give us an eLocity forum please XDA.

Please make this happen XDA! We're making progress on this thing!
It's rooted, out of the box, we figured out how to get into recovery, we got adb working over wifi, we got LCD Density working...
We really need a forum so that we can pull together and get a better recovery installed, we need GApps and the Market, and on to custom roms!
TIA,
Billy

Also you can play a fantastic title named Capcom Vs SNK NEO and the control is really accurate
Second for every android system owner:
Square enix did an announcement earlier this week about the famous Imaginary Range being nearly available For Free for Android device.
hopefully pretty soon
Here is some pics of an android device running the game from the official site:
More info there: http://blog.jp.square-enix.com/imrb/
I just hope that more and more japanese company will come to android platform and specially the Sony Xplay

Speaking of Square Titles. How does FPSE handle FF8 / FF9? . Would you be able to Test Either of these games? I was having issues with both of these using psx4droid.
Thanks for the Imaginary Range update though . I love Squarsoft ! (Err. Enix_)

There is a fix for Final fantasy games on FPSE that need to be done
Just google this and u will find many information out there

thanks kenshindono , actually just read about known issues,
Thank you anyways!

I just paid $5 for this app yesterday and can't get it to work.
It asks me to select the BIOS then keeps asking me to select it.

That's because you need to give it the proper BIOS to run the games.

Could u give a link to where i could get the iso/rom for the second pic

What do you mean by "voice fixed"? Valkyrie Profile's developers smartly inserted synchronization "checks" via the game's voice sound files into multiple parts of the games to prevent emulators from progressing further into the game. The first "check" is near the beginning of the game, where Lenneth and Freya are about to teleport down below into Midgard.
Are you saying that version 0.10.48 is able to bypass these "checks"? I have not been able to get version 0.10.48 to bypass these "checks". And for the record, I have not been able to get the lastest version, 0.10.54, to bypass these checks either.
Were you able to do so?

I tried Valkyrie profile with the latest version of fpse, it wont go past the first bit where you meet some floating woman, the game hasnt crashed as you can press LT to bring up a box with text in, but it will not progress any further

As expected, because you were at the first "check" that I had described in my first post. The game did not continue because simply emulating a PS1 is not likely to pass the "checks".
OP seemed to have implied that v0.10.48 has a way to bypass the "checks", but I am not sure and have not found a way myself. So, I am asking for clarification.

[APP] FlipFeeds: Flipboard 'esq reader for all Android Devices. Complete it?

Hi all,
I have been working on an HTML5 based reader similar to Flipboard that would work in Android, iPad, Windows 8, etc. However, with news that Flipboard will be releasing to Android this year, I'm debating on if it's worth my time to finish. A few things of note:
It's powered by google reader
It actually has a better image grabbing engine that FB for image detection
Around 32 page layouts thus far
Scales areas and fonts dynamically to fit any resolution tablet/screen
Grabs the first few pages, then keeps going in the background for quick start

Here's a link to check out the super-pre-alpha: http://youtu.be/g3hNYtNVGJM (so you can see it already grabs articles and sorts areas and images)
What do you think? Should I put the time in to finish it for everyone?
Thanks,

I think if u can manage to create and page transition effect that makes flipping through them as exciting as it is on Flipboard then ur App will sell itself....i don't see that on your video.... it's laying out new nicely though.
try to focus on visuals and gestures.

Yea, it's complete alpha stages right now. I don't even have the code in for viewing an article. I won't be taking the exact FB effect, but was planning on making a swipe effect of some kind, but don't want to spend the million hours finishing this out if everyone says "Why bother, we'll use FlipBoard."
Thanks,
B.

Put in mind that Flipboard announced that the company will release the app only for chosen devices ....so if your app suits older less powered devices and have some cool features that are optimized for smooth browsing and doesn't consume battery ...then i think u should work on it and don't give up .
second of all you should know by now people lke to try out new apps every now and then ...we get bored fast my friend
good luck developing ..but if u loose interest then it's also ok .....maybe u will come up with something even better

Yea, now that the APK is out I'm seeing that Flipboard is working fine on older devices, I think I'll hold off. While I'm happy to continue building this, I don't see much point unless Flipboard doesn't come out tablet optimized. Happy to give people another option, but I only have a limited amount of time, and could never compete with the feature list that FB provides.
Thanks,
B.

Anyone using WINK app on WEAR?

Its very cool..you get WINK notifications and can set up shortcuts aka 'tasks' that you can control from your WEAR device.
However mine seems to 'lose' the WINK shortcuts every time i restart my phone or exit the WINK app on my phone. I'm hoping this is just a software issue that is being worked on.

We at CastleOS will be releasing on Android Wear support soon. The Wink app is pretty limited. Our app includes the ability to adjust lighting, thermostats, activate and deactivate scenes, and check sensor status. And best of all, everything is automatic, you don't need to manually create anything like shortcuts. Just install CastleOS from the Play store and you're good to go! CastleOS works with INSTEON, Z-Wave, UPB, X10, WeMo, Nest, Sonos, Ecobee, LightwaveRF, and more!

Oh the irony. We support dozens upon dozens (maybe hundreds) of more devices than Wink does, yet none of your devices are currently supported You'll have to wait for the December/January releases for those. We currently support the Z-Wave Honeywell thermostats, but not the WiFi ones yet (we had been waiting for the official API). GE Link is still new and we are in the process of building the interface for that, though we currently support INSTEON and Z-Wave bulbs, WeMo bulbs if they ever launch them, and Philips Hue color changing bulbs. Sorry about that, it will be worth the wait I promise!

I'll save everyone the trouble of downloading their useless app. Not only do they lack the support stated above, but they also want $199 for the "OS" and $499 for their oversized hub... ha
