APPs to be developed

This thread is 4 user to post Ideas of Apps they are not on the market.
This thread invites all Developers to pick up the ideas and use them for developing.
I´l start with an App i would like to have. A simple
MIRROR
I use I9000 (JPY) and would like to have the Frontcamera used as Mirror. Showing me my Face looking at the phone.
This is interesting for alle they need to profe if the Dinner ist eaten or the Hairs are done bevore a important meeting, the tie is correct and last not least the ladies would also like to proofe the style of theyr face sometimes.
One push on the homescreen ON, one push on the mirror (picture) OFF.
Thank you in advance

good idea on the mirror !

A folder hiding app, like the old (Encrypted) Magic Folders for Windows, that makes any folders you choose and any files within those folders completely invisible to others. Possibly with encrypting capability. Only your password lets the folders reappear in a file manager or the open file dialog of any given application.

[Q] 2 Questions, Android Desktop, BlueTooth Mac Address

Greets All,
I have a couple of quick questions, the first one will probably be easy to answer, but some roms have 4 desktops you can finger swipe or use the home key to navigate to, other roms have 7, is there a way to add more then 7?
Second question, I asked this thru PM but never got an answer so now I'll ask here. As we all have been searching for the bluetooth mac address fix that doesnt put a generic Mac, I went on the hunt and found so far only 1 Kernel that actually has either a unique address or the actual address, and no answer as to why the only one I found is a kernel that works on an SDcard version of android.
I am of course not talking about gingerbread since I am not using that, but 2.2.1, I tried to figure out endlessly for days and weeks, but I am not a programmer, but I would think it wouldnt been that difficult to make it work on nand roms or zip roms. Obviously I tired to take the kernel and push it into the rom I use which is a zip DesireHD build, and it just hung at the boot screen, I tried it with other roms and the same problem. Someone said that SDCard kernels are different then nand and zip roms and thats why it hung.
But I guess the question is if the solution is in the kernel and obviously credit to the kernel dev, why cant it be implimented to our current roms? Now if there is already a fix for this without having to manually enter it, then please point me to that thread, cause all the ones that pop up either have no replies or looking for the same thing.

No idea for the BT thing, but the amount of homescreens simply depends on your home app. I believe both LauncherPro and ADW Launcher (both free on market) support more than 7 screens, not sure on either of them though.
You should however seriously reconsider if you really need more than 7 homescreens. If you need them for shortcuts to apps: why? There's no use transferring everything to your homescreen when you can just as easily scroll through the app drawer. Create a few strategic folders if you need some more structure.
If you want all these homescreens for widgets, take into account that this is bad for both performance and battery life. 7 is already quite a lot, crossing that barrier doesn't seem like a wise decision to me.

Well I wasnt looking for go crazy with the screens I was merely talking maybe 2 more, and not for shortcut to apps, thats what we got the app drawer for. I was talking more like (just an example):
1- Home screen
2- Email
3- SMS
4- Weather
5- Facebook
6- Social Hub
7- Shortcuts/widgets
8- Calendar
9- Music
Wow 20 reads and 1 reply, either I ask really hard questions or no one cares. amazing.

GO Launcher EX

How can I add folders to my dock? If anyone can help me out that would be great, thank you!
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App

I use GoLauncher Ex and I've never applied a folder to the dock. I don't think you can,correct me if I'm wrong but you can only add to the screen which I have two folders on mine. Just long press on any free spot on the screen till you have a pop up you will have options to choose ie.,Widgets, shortcuts, applications,and folders choose folders you will get another popup asking what folders you want,contacts ,starred folder , new folder ect. Choose new folder it will exit back to the screen you choose you will see a plain square then hit your apps drawer long press your apps drag to the bottom of your screen where it says add to home screen once that is on your screen drag that app to the folder(plain square) and release it. Now its your folder repeat the process for your desired apps or for as many folders as you want. Hope it helps.

That won't help you with GO EX,but with ADW EX you can put Folders in Dock
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

Thank you and some discovering I did
Hey, thank you so much bullswife98 and mblaster4711 for giving that advice.
I must say since I left that last post, a lot has changed with GO Launcher EX now. They came out with a beta a couple weeks ago and its great! It allows you to do exactly what I had wanted to do, but it doesn't have the feature to let you put folders into folders, but its cool, I love this new one now.
After I posted that question, I had decided to look for the best folder organizer out there that worked well with me. I did find a app tool called, Folder Organizer 3.4.3. That allowed me to not only put folders created within that app on the dock but I was also able to easily change the folders icon and also put folders within folders! I had a it for a good while, but I still had to do some discovering. I tried out ADW Launcher EX but it didn't work so well for me, it just didn't have enough the customizing features like GO Launcher EX did. I like a lot of things about adw but I was just more comfortable with GO more then anything. I tried a couple other launchers but found myself back with my usual. lol.
About a week ago I found a app tool called Elixir2 and I'm so glad I found it because ever since I started messing around with it haven't been able to put it down, literally. It makes you think for sure. It has features like allow you to put customized widgets on your screen, you can find out pretty much anything about you phone from that app. It's very useful and clear for anyone. I'm still learning about all of this stuff so I have found it very helpful and useful. The app also has add-ons that give you other features. You should check it out if you're interested because I know I haven't even said everything that it can do. Plus the best thing is.. it's free!
Once again,
Thank you very much.

[Apps] for I'm Watch Smartwatch

I started on the wrong foot, but finally found that it likes Android 1.6 Apps!
- Angry Birds!!!!!! (with music and usable, albeit, it just takes a little time to Start just Once Initially, the everything is quite normalish after initial start..... But the initial Splash screen looks so cool on the smartwatch it is worth the wait).
- Dolphin Browser
- Opera Mini Browser
Hints:
- To download anything in Opera Mini, select the DCIM folder, it seems it does not like to download on initial root. Warning, it is not fast downloading.
- When typing remember that it is a good idea that when typing in the small keyboard, that if you are fast, and keep pressing a key and notice it was not the one you intended, before releasing the key, if you do it fast enough, you can move your finger towards the correct key before releasing your finger. This is much faster than having to delete a wrong entered letter. If you keep pressing and fail to move fast, it would suggest alternative based on the wrong letter and you can no longer move to next, but if you click elsewhere, it won't type the wrong letter.
- Dolphin Browser is great because you can define shortcuts for common menus (remember you don't have a menu key), with its gestures. I made a gesture for settings and other to go to downloads and for full screen!
More Apps come!!
Please Share your Apps!!!

More Apps!
- Aptoid works quite fine to install new apps.
- Backgammon Free
- Bazooka Rabbit works! (albeit, not all the screen appears, but it is playable).
- ES File Explorer
- .... more to try ...

Are you running the latest 2.1 os?

I'd be interested to see these apps in action on the watch. Anyone want to make a youtube video?

Rooted it

I just recently got my imwatch and I'm already using the amazing side loader machine to load random apps onto it. I'll try to get a video going of it if I can but otherwise not many apps seem to work on it. If you can give me some ideas and a link to the apk to make things easier I will have more examples to show.

Great little thread. Lets hope more people post the names of more suitable useful apps.

I'd be interested to see how some apps work compared to my Motoactv. So some examples would be emulators such as gbcoid, snesoid and n64oid. Maybe some android games such as Hill Climb, and Hardest Game Ever. Apps, I dunno, maybe root explorer (or just explorer), a browser (I use boat browser mini), and mxplayer playing a video would be cool to see. Everything but the emulators I just got off the Google Play store. If you can't access the store on the I'm Watch yet I remember being able to take apps off my phone. Just download the app on your phone, then use a file manager to browse to /data/app/, then send it to your computer (I use bluetooth). I can send you the emulator apk's, just PM me your e-mail.

Use bluestack make it easier to grab the apk and download multiple apps at the same time,
Games or apps compatible with android 1.6 will have a much better chance of working...

Good info

apps
Got some more apps that seem to work on the i'm watch after the 2.1.2 adb update
go jkeyboard works
mobicalc
advanced task killer
voice search kinda works, cant find netwrok connection. would like someone to get that working.
dropbox works
graffiti pro keyboard works
dolphin browser works
gesture search
but there arent many people who are rooting and or doing things for the watch,. So if you can give me any ideas as to what to do to it or how I'd appreciate it,. Such as unlocking the bootloader
What I'm finding is that anything where you can draw or speak is more useful for this watch.\
rooting with super on click was the best way of doing it honestly .

Ok so I found a useful group of apks that make customization something a greater thing.
email me @ [email protected]
for the link. (don't have enough posts for links)

Thanks!

There is a new ADB version out. The last was 2.1.2 but now there is a 2.2.0 which I am going to update to now and attempt to see if it changes much.
Heres hoping.

how do you install those apps on the watch , i just got me a i'm watch 2 weeks ago and this sounds interesting:good:

Well theres two ways to do it.
1. you can do the whole rooting process by getting the ADB software from imwatch and using super one click to root it then install it through a sideload manager.
2. you can download all the apks in there and go to the im market and get Sideload Manager app from there. Then you'd put the apks in the DCIM folder and go through the Sideload Manager and install it that way.
Note: You should disconnect from the pc when trying to install through sideload manager app for option two.

Hello, could anyone help me check "Endomondo" and/or "Runtastic" apps can work on the I'm Watch pls?
Very BIG thanks !

I'm watch with last july firmware
Hi all with this smartwatch. How is it with the last update? Better sound in conversation?
Or still buggy?
Thanks all

It's still pretty buggy. But from the things I've seen android phones have apps that are capable of handling and changing the volume and etc on there.
Don't quote me but its just what I've heard. I have an iPhone 5 so I can't really share from experience.

[PROBLEM] Nova Launcher Shortcut Limitation ...

I discovered this problem earlier today after several days of testing. I had originally thought that the problem was with CM10.1 ROMs, but it now appears to be a Nova Launcher limitation (unrelated to ROMs).
I have been using Nova Launcher ever since it first appeared on the scene. It’s a great launcher and, regardless of the problem in question, I will continue to use it.
As many of you already know, Nova not only allows you to place shortcuts on your home screen(s), you can also create folders with shortcuts contained therein. App shortcuts are easy (using the drag-and-drop method); however, if you want file shortcuts, you need an appropriate file manager, such as Solid Explorer (my favourite), ASTRO File Manager, ES File Explorer, or Root Explorer, etc.
I have five home screens containing numerous app shortcuts, as well as quite a number of folders that contain both app shortcuts and many file shortcuts.
After more tests than I care to admit, I have been able to determine that Nova has a limitation on the total number of FILE shortcuts (not app shortcuts) that you can have on your home screen(s). For me, this limitation is 61 file shortcuts. If I have more than 61, and I then attempt to up-date my ROM (currently using CM10.1 Nightlies), Nova force closes the moment you reboot to your home screen. Nova boots properly after a ROM up-date if there are 61 or less file shortcuts.
Exception: If you never up-date your ROM, you CAN have as many file shortcuts as you want; however, the limitation takes effect the moment you up-date your ROM.
Caveat: Even if you ultimately bypass Nova Launcher, remove it from your device, re-install it, and then attempt to restore the shortcuts via your novabackup file, it won’t work.
To repeat, this limitation applies ONLY to FILE shortcuts. There does not appear to be any limitation to APP shortcuts. For example, I reduced my file shortcuts to 61 (allowed), and added another 20 app shortcuts to a sixth home screen (just as a test). There was no problem after up-dating the ROM. All file shortcuts were there, as well as the additional 20 app shortcuts.
While the 61 limitation applies to me, I’m not saying that it couldn’t be a different number for other users. I’m simply stating that other users should be aware of a potential limitation.

Jesus. Who would want so many shortcuts? Half of those I bet you barely use.
I suggest you emailing nova launcher with your beef.
I use nova launcher and it rocks.

I absolutely agree. Nova is the very best. However, I need the shortcuts. It makes my daily work life much easier to quickly access files when I'm with clients. And, yes, I do access about 80+% of them on a daily/weekly basis.
I've come up with a solution, though, using Solid Explorer (my favourite). It isn't exactly what I wanted, but it's almost as good.
Peter

I doubt this problem should be adressed to XDA, the limitation is app related, the dev has to know
I would also suggest you moving all your files to a folder you create, then shortcut that folder instead of each individual file

Damn that is ALOT of file shortcuts!

Thank you for your comments. I have already sent a note to the app developers. I was simply posting it on xda to let others know, as I first discovered the app via xda a couple of years ago.
On your second suggestion, I have already done that. Thanks, though.
