Just had a great idea for a new launcher that I think would work really well on the Android platform (well, what doesn't? [don't answer that]). Going to post a mock up pretty soon so watch this space, hopefully if people like it then maybe someone could build it?
I wouldn't have the first clue where to start to actually build one, but would really like to learn how.
Tell us something about it or maybe someone will help you with it.

Will do, I just made the post so I can add to it as I go along designing things
Here is the first mock up of the messages and how it would look:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The idea is that the dock has all of the apps in it, and you scroll through them easily, and if you want to view say, the messages for instance, you scroll through to the messages tab (would have to be a nice smooth fast action, not scrolling through pages) and then drag up on the icon to reveal the messages.
To close the app you would then have to simple drag down from the top bar and it would slide away into the dock at the bottom.
I feel if someone could help me make this that it has a lot of potential, the only problem is that standard apps would have to appear within the constraints of the bubble, which may be a problem, but hey, it's day one so I'm open to suggestions.
Please let me know what you think, I'm going to making previews for as many apps as possible if I can today, but I have other stuff to do, so watch this space!
Obviously some apps won't be all lovely and transparent like the mock up here, but if they could just appear within the bubble that would be pretty awesome I think. It's a much more swipe friendly design that some of the launchers out there at the moment, that I feel are constrained by what is already on the market or what others have already seen.

It looks very very promising, altough it looks complex and hard. I hope you can find the way to do it, because you can go really far with this.
Good luck, I will definitely have an eye on this.
Mock up of an actual message being written. If I could create a transparent keyboard I would do! Don't have the time at the moment.
Forgot to add the back button at the top, oops :|

This does not help me at all, but thanks for the demeaning comment.
Not wanting to pour water on your fire. I can tell you are all 'fired up' about this launcher, but why waste your time making these lovely screenshots and 'hoping' that some dev will come along and make the launcher for you.
You are obviously talented, why not do some reading on the forums and have a go at making your own launcher. Once you have a basic one running, I'm sure there will be plenty of members of the community willing to help you.
Just a thought
That's what I'm trying to do, i just don't know where to start!

Not trying to demean you or this launcher just trying to describe this launcher using existing os ideas like those of webos. But the fact that the os isnt designed for this type of use would inherently make it not as good as webos.
And yes ill agree that the documentation on home screen replacements is rather lacking. Your best bet would be to look at the source of the Android default home screen
From something awesome
All great things have to start somewhere. I think the concept is good, real nice. I also will be looking out for it. Can not help with building it (no idea how) but I can offer to help test it.....

My second game for Windows Mobile!!!
yay?
This is a remake of an old Nokia 3310 Game that I used to play all the time.
Good old days!
Explanation of the way the game is played:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mancala
This game is made for 2 people to play against each other.
I might add a singleplayer if I have the time to!
Since everyone has their own rules for this game I will write them down real short:
When ending your "seeding" in a empty hole on the opponent's side you will capture a point.
When you end up in your own main hole you get an extra turn.
The opponent's main hole will not be skipped while "seeding"
There I hope I explained it well enough.
Any suggestions or bugs reports are more than welcome!
Enjoy gaming!

Hi Freckle
could it be possible to get som screenshots please ?
And a single player version would be awesome !!!
Screen shots are a must, some users never put something on there phone without knowing how it will look
oh I totally agree, I would never put something on my phone without seeing a screenshot or a video of it.
Definitely not from an unknown developer like me
Video is uploaded, check my first post!!!
Can I be honest with you ?
The graphics are not really beautiful...., I would love to see it looks like a real wood one
I do love this game, I spent hours playing on it on my nokia and I also have a real one in my house
something like this would be definitely better

Seconded. Since that 3D dice app was cancelled (I was working on the graphics for that) this could be a fun project to take on. Give me a day and I can whip up something that's at least on par with the above screenshot - I'll try to make it look better .
Not everyone knows how to create apps like the one you showed us from the screenshot.
I appreciate your honesty, but I started giving C# a shot 2 weeks ago.
And I haven't ever made a 3d/graphical application before.
Also I'm not following a ICT/"Programming" education yet, have to wait 1 and a half years for that.
If someone could give me a push in the right direction, that would be appreciated.
***I think I have an idea to spice it up, give me some time.

I'd use a ImageButton with transparency set to true,
this should also help you "catch" the clicks
But IMHO I think it is better to complete the the coding prior to the cosmetics, I'd rather see a fully functional game which doesn't look that nice then a not working game which looks great.
with fully functional I meant including a single player version...
because that is the real challenge
Anyway I'm glad you started this thread, because I almost forgot about this great game. thank you
keep up the good work

My first post said mostly text-based. My view on that is like whenever you find an item, I want the item to be visible.
When you see a monster, I'd like that monster to be visible, I'm not asking for 3d. I want a not too heavy game, there's no need for having an environment with a character that you can walk with.
It's not that I prefer this, but I think that this makes the game compatible with every single windows mobile device on the planet. Also you can play the game when you're in the waiting room waiting for the doctor without having to make the game load and make it feel like they can jump right in.
It will be a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing game, all players are connected to the server, the server decides what happens.
I will use the same "internet engine (lol)" as I created when I made dRemote.
This can go really big.
I'm sending each and everyone of you a PM.
Great project!!! Please let me in on it!!!
I can help with the script (history and such) if you would have me. I can also draw a little, so please let me know. This is such an appealing project!!!
P.S. here is a drawing of mine, not finished though.
Hmm sounds cool but maybe it could be a little more than just text? Maybe like those 2D mmorpgs lol?
Well I can be a graphic designer... I'm pretty decent in Photoshop but my computer is crappy as hell but I can give it a try?
I can help testing... Got device i-mate 9502, VGA... ^^

That's what I'd love to see as well, but I'm not the kind of guy that has that much time on his hands to make it 2d and stuff.

What do you guys think about basing it on an existing story like Lord of the Rings?
Lord of the Rings ok!
That would be cool, since there are different clases and everything is pretty much mapped out. We have the light side and the dark side very well balanced, and since it would be text based, we can focus on a good story for each side. The question would be where in time do we place our story, since we need really strong objectives for each side to complete. My particular choice would be at the age of the Silmarillion, since it has stronger and much more expectacular beings, (Sauron was a mere servant back then) and it is a much less explored age.

I've seen the movies but it was a while ago so I'm not very familiar with it atm.
My idea is:
Make the game very very long, the objective is to bring the ring somewhere and destroy it (can't really remember where they destroyed it )
Just make endless quests that are still interesting and challenging for newbies and pros. Then once the ring is destroyed, the game will start over and hopefully we can reinvent the game by then with new quests. They can then choose a different class, this way the game won't be boring quickly.
What about making the battles similar to the FF's ones?

Ok I am in but in ONE condition, I can do XML editing but I am not spending time on what they have edited and how. If the MIUI team give their sources on what they have edited to you then im definatley in.
MIUI is fully opensource. I think the biggest roadblock is that the UI was created through java rather than xml.
Personally, I'm not BAD with XML, but honestly, it might not be really helpful.
I'm not known, I'm sure, in the Captivate forums. But I am jellette/Heathen of the Einherjar Dev Team over in the Vibrant forums. I and other members of EDT would be interested in taking part in this project.

SDK ports are garbage. Anyone who actually wastes time working on them is not all that smart. Nuff said. BTW, when are people gonna stop promoting for r2, getting tired of constantly seeing a new thread about him and his work.
I'm really not seeing the point in this port.
Agreed. Honeycomb is not meant for phones, period.... Will people stop wasting their time on something that is pretty much pointless? This is like shoe horning an elephant into a stroller... Why bother?

Who are you guys to say how the devs are spending their time? It has absolutely nothing to do with you. Everyone here besides them just sits back and waits for them to bust their ass and put out. Regardless of if I do flash this or not, I think its rad that they're trying. To each his own.

It's r2's history, he was banned for putting paid apps in his ROM's im pretty sure.

I don't see how that's well said. This is is a somewhat pointless port. It would be better for this to be ported to say, a galaxy tab. This android isn't meant for phones so why waste the time?

Some people enjoy having an extremely large resolution, like me for instance. I would love to see this fully functional, as I usually change my density to a rather large resolution so as to make things smaller and have more screen space.
I'm a rom-whore, and I'm damn proud of it
If you read my threads and ask the devs, you will find that I set up bounties, and donate unlike most freeloaders on these forums. And I help some devs test their roms/kernels. My opinion is based on a desire to have our phone be a really cool dev platform but not go in directions where devs try their best to please 4 or 5 ill informed people and then give up. That would just lead to disenchanted devs. I don't think most of us want that...
By the way, I have an iphone, and will be getting a webOs tablet too. You know why? Because its pointless to be faithful to one thing when you can learn from many... Monogamy is meant to be practiced with a spouse, not a gadget... I'm not a fan of any. Just a shameless user of all.
Edit: and I have a galaxy tab

Adjusting the DPI is a personal preference and doesn't change the overall resolution. In my opinion our screens don't really benefit it because the overall size and resolution is small.
A device like the Tab which is scaled like a cellphone screen benefits from the DPI adjustment since it has a much greater screen resolution.
Dell Streak is a fine example of why DPI adjustment isn't needed. Things just aren't right because of the 480x800 screen.
ROOT IS HERE! Go get it! Tutorial is here. Post is here.
I noticed there a lot of people around here waiting fervently for the release of root--checking and rechecking the forums over and over. Fear not! For I have come up with the solution for you all!

Turbo Root Update
Are you stuck at work and want to know if we have root? Are you away from a computer? Did you just get in a car wreck and are laying there, taking your final breath, with only your phone in your hand, wondering, "Do we have root?" Then this is the app for you.
I was messing around with Google's new Material Design standards I decided to throw this together. It'll be updated the moment a root method is discovered.
Another note: this will only work only Droid Turbos.. I can add other models to the list upon request, however, I didn't make the app responsive, so it only looks right on 2560x1440 screens.
Enjoy.
EDIT: This will now work on ALL devices!
EDIT_2: I realized just now that I chose the same material design color as SuperSU and did the same icon design completely by accident. No correlation there, just sheer happenstance.
FINAL EDIT: A root method has been discovered and will be release shortly. The latest update of the app will point you to the root video so you can root whenever ad wherever. Thank you all for downloading!
Neat little app haha. Hopefully we wont need it for long!
However I must say this is in the wrong section of the forum, the more appropriate location would be -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/themes-apps
Does it push a notification when the device gets rooted? Or will it just replace my xda refreshes with opening the app every 5 minutes?

I agree. I would have put it there, but no one will see it cause they are checking here for root. Thus the post in general.

Push notifications would be an awesome thing to have!

I can add an update for it. I don't have a subscription to any push services currently so I'd to re-up for that.
I'll call it, the are-we-there-yet? App
Why not make it so others can keep tabs on it, too? I have an LG G3 and would like to know when the Turbo gets root.

More like "Are we rooted yet?" Makes more sense

I was limiting it because I didn't want a bunch of phones with 1920x1080 resolution wondering what the deal was cause I didn't make it responsive, but I think I will just update it. You convinced me.
Man, this is great... Genius. I check these threads lately about once or twice an hour, just waiting on good news. When I open a new tab, Chrome goes, "Oh, lemme guess... XDA Turbo General?" This is a time saver. Thank you, sir.

You're exactly the person I made it for! You are welcome!
Sad your effort cannot be easily installed on older moto's. We would not care about a skewed image of an unlock graphic!! Would not the ultra/Maxx be an easy one?
But what do I know about generating apk's.
Great idea anyway!!

At the office now, but when I get off tonight, I will be opening it to other devices.
The graphics won't be skewed, but rather they will be blown up. I will probably write in a line to scale the graphics accordingly on smaller res phones when I update it this evening. :good:
Kinda curious why you chose Lua and Corona.

Kinda curious why you are decompiling my apk.
Been bouncing around trying some different things. Noted that the Corona SDK used lua-- a language I had previously used in the form of eLua to program microcontrollers. However, 80% of the code draws off of Corona's predefined functions which makes it feel like a "copy and paste fest". I also remember reading that a lot of WoW addons were coded in lua (easily embed-able) which spiked my curiousity. I'll have to say though, it is incredibly simple to use.

I decompiled it because I was curious.
Doesn't everyone do that?
Check out NativeScript when you get a chance.

Actually I've noticed a few online games now have used lua in encrypted game files (to prevent hackings and game mods, but lets face it someone is going to crack it at some point) not just add-ons.
Just wondering, how does it work? Do you just monitor XDA for "root" threads?
