First I would like to say I have been looking through XDA for about three/four months now, but haven't posted anything. I had the HTC Leo (HD2) from T-Mobile, but did not have coverage in my area (plus, WM was a turn-off...lol). So I switched to AT&T and got the BlackBerry Torch. After about 20 days with it I got bored of the lack of "good" applications in App World. So I decided to get a Motorola BackFlip...but when I saw the Samsung Captivate, I was in love. I have been programming for well over six years, but about two years ago got into Java (for the BlackBerry development, I had a BB Storm at the time). Android application development is pretty similar to the BlackBerry's (as I expected), so I'm pretty confident in my programming skills with Android.
Enough of my introduction, my point is I would like to contribute to the XDA Community...to give back something from everything I've gotten. I have two ideas:
1) Get application ideas from the XDA Community, anyone that contributes will get the application for free.
2) Help out some project such as KiteUI, or start one myself.
All feedback is appreciated! Thank you for reading!
Welcome to forums
Nice introduction
Howdy, Nick. I'm trying to start a project myself, but I've had no takers so far. I'm hoping to find a developer here on XDA and get feedback and ideas through a beta release to the forums. Interested?

Outlook App fior Android (working on 1.5 on) and a sync app that doesn't rely on the cloud!
I would really appreciate the following:
1. Ability to change fonts within the phone without having to go into clockwork and flashing zips. Some fonts are too massive for a small screen end too much scrolling is required.
2. A good google reader app and widget.
3. Better email and lock screen apps and widgets. Unified email inbox would be extremely valuable.

Thanks for the feedback! They all seem like great ideas. I'll start working on one and PM you when it's finished.
Nice intro. Wish I had mad skills (or rather any skills, LOL).
Anywho, I would love to see an unread email widget(s) that can show unread count from any and all email clients available on android currently, specifically default email client & yahoo, and of course gmail. I would that you could customize the icons and optional text colors.
Something like the current SMS unread count available in the market, only better just an idea.

I have gotten a few ideas, and I like yours too. I'll be thinking of which app to make (I might try to make them all, but one at a time), and I'll post on here which I choose. Thanks again!
Very cool. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. PM me if you some testing done.

Hello dear community!
Our CM7 stands in the wings and most of us are reporting bugs to CyanogenMod.
But apart from the bugs, there are other things that could be improved.
I noticed for example in the SMS app, that there is no way to force the line break through the return key has been replaced by the key for emoticons.
Okay, what's the problem, are now some thinking.
You can use a different keyboard or simply another SMS app such as handcent. Well, would not be a problem, but honestly - who would not like to have everything from one source?
I'm really pleased so far with CM7, the stock keyboard is better than Swiftkey or Smart Keyboard Pro and i like the stock SMS-App much more than other alternatives from the market.
Here my request to you:
Issue 2898 - CyanogenMod - Enhancement: Swap Smilie-/Returnkey in Stock Messaging App - Project Hosting on Google Code
Give the project a star, if you also like to have the line break back and if not, still give the star that does not hurt you and increases the chance that the project is implemented.
The whole was unfortunately already tried, but it has been there for more than 8 months and only 3 people starred this. I hope this time on more resonance, especially by the large community here. This is why i've opened this thread.
With best regards
Olli
Starred. I find this terribly annoying too as I never use the emoticon button but frequently want a line break.
Is there a way for toggle "android:inputType="textShortMessage"" ?
I've just decompiled mms.apk and deleted those lines from
..\res\layout\compose_message_activity_black and ..\res\layout\compose_message_activity
then compiled again and now i've got the returnkey back.
But that's only a workaround, can this be put into a option?

Just wondering, I love the reports of a better battery life but all the other bugs would just get the best of me.
i am running beta 2.3.3 roms and they have no issues for me.
I wish I had waited and just rooted beforehand... now I can't root and it's a buggy phone

Well after reading the community forums at sprint.com and android forums, Ive seen people getting different results/bugs such as:
-Netflix stopped working(posted on this forum)
-Other Misc applications not functioning
-Shortcut icons appearing default with no detail
-Voicemail notification continuously appearing with no voicemails
-GPS Icon appearing even when the GPS is turned off
-Text messages taking longer to send
-Calls not connecting
Im sure there is more but these are the ones that caught my eye.
So thats why I was waiting to make sure there isnt another update to fix some of these issues.
Not having Netflix after getting a taste sucks the most
I can say that my gps icon is on and it shows off on the top. Text messages show a number when there are none. Great I updated and now I cant root.
I waiting until the bugs are fixed,
Not updating till then.
Waiting on root also

+1 (Except that part about root, since there are already rooted OTA's)
Or until Synergy is finally released.
O wow, actually just replaced my evo through sprint. they sent me a brand new one, in an envelope(no accesories) thank god I have been living with a buggy refurb for almost a year.
Only problem is it is preloaded with 2.3!?!?!? the sprint rep said it was funny also 2 other customers received brand new ones, thats unheard of from sprint IMO
maybe they want to make everyone on 2.3 because so many using the wifi hotspots...idk
so I would have redone the universal root method like I did before hand, but read here first ......so no go on universal root?

Runs smooth no problem. I wish they upgraded sense it would make the phone more Customizable. But, I'm running on mik 2.1 3.0 sense it's a great rom try it out your self.

It's called "gaining knowledge, keeping informed, and keeping the options open". Some people, do not necessarily wish to modify every device they use, at every single opportunity. Since discovering XDA, I have had 6 or 7 different devices, and though I have not flashed a custom ROM to each one of them, I've done a couple. Flashing or not, this entire forum has helped me in some form with each device.

Seriously, I guess you'd have to ask yourself, "how did I find out about XDA?", in order to answer that. At one time, everyone on these forums was a stock user. The second part of your question is answered above.

I was running Mik 1.3 for a few days and upgraded to 1.4 yesterday. From the above, only two apply on this rom: The Netflix & the GPS icon. The GPS works, but in my case, it appears as off whether I have it on or off. The NetFlix problem is an issue that NetFlix is working on and not a "bug" of GB. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that somewhere on here when the problem first came up.
Having 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1 grealy outweight those two bugs for me. Out of all the 2.3.3 roms I've tried, this one has been my favorite by a long shot. You just have to set up the phone properly. It took me a good couple of hours to format the SD card and upgrade the ext3, transfer all the files back and forth from the SD card, restoring all my apps and reorganizing my phone, etc.
Well worth it, IMO.
The only issue I have noticed is my Exchange inbox icon sometimes shows that I have a new/unread email when I don't. Besides that, everything is working faster and smoother. The battery life improvement is by far the most dramatic change, imo. One more thing that I personally like is the message received notification toggle is now the first option under message settings...def makes shutting off the notifications faster, which is good when you need to hide new texts from the gf
this is wierd....Im having this issue and hopefully someone can help me out. I can group mms with all my friends except 1. He has a verizon s3 and everytime he responds to a group mms it just goes into his seperate thread. My wife has an iphone and when he responds it goes into the group mms thread like it should. Its really confusing the hell out of me since hes the only person it happens to and i feel like its just with my phone. I looked at his phone and he is responding in the group thread like he should be but it send a seperate text to me instead of going into the group mms thread.
Anyone got any ideas?

His S3 is not on 4.2 or higher I'm guessing so his phone can't do group SMS (which uses MMS to communicate).
Blame Verizon, they are always freaking late on everything! The last update was 4.1.2 which came out in May but was released long ago. The other Samsung S3s all got 4.2 already (I think) but Verizon is slacking.

Sorry to bump this post but I'm having the same exact issue..
My friend has a VZW S3 and his replies do not come under group chat.
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I've come to find out..if I use a third party app like handcent it works like it should. So its something with the stock app which sucks cuz I hate the third party apps

Ok, I get it to work, somehow.
It is an early release, not tested, use on your own risk!
It is not suitable to daily use, only for testing. It crashes often. It's not bad but this crashes are no-go for normal usage
I based on work from kasper_h and C-o-M so they should be credited for this.
I will post buildable sources later, but there are no changes from repos of this two guys, only some merging
As for gapps I used this one:
http://duckbox.info/android/gapps-wingray-kk-20131223.zip
but they are little buggy
you may try any from this thread or even some other for KK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593757
I am not sure what is working and what is not, but for sure these are working:
WiFi
Camera
3G
And HDMI output is broken as in every post-4.2 ROM
IT IS ONLY FOR P7300 VERSION (3G one)! When it wil be more stable I will build wifi version as well.
Ok, but you probably don't care about all of this and just want a dowload link
Here it is:
omni-4.4.2-20140103-p5-HOMEMADE.zip

Thanks to keep alive our tablet:good:

Thank you so much mate
so overall it's a great ROM and it has lots of working stuff in it like:
WIFI
Bluetooth
Camera [both] as for taking photos and panorama
Apps are working properly
Torch
3G
Power menu buttons
System UI
ART function seems to be working
GPS
Keyboard
Sound
but the not working stuff are quite huge, I know it is kind of alpha and early release
so this bug list is only to help you develop the ROM:
it is so laggy
lots of random hot reboot and some times normal reboot
lots of crashes
camera video recording
screenshot capture [Storage may be in use]
(which is why I didn't provide any screenshots)
Thank you again for your hard work
hope you'll be able to make this ROM better
Great! Since Kitkat is supposed to run better on slower devices i hope this one will be also faster than the older android versions
voice call
Sorry for the question, is the voice call enable and working???

no, even mic is not working in any app as for now
I dont plan to work on this feature as I have data-only card in tablet... Not before more important features.
and about screenshots they will probably never work. Guy from 10.1 tried to enable them and it causes even more UI lag...
Thanks for your work, man!
I was expecting for someone who will rebuild this rom for our tablets! (was reading gt 10.1 thread for a while).

I'll fix voice calling, as I use it sometimes.
BTW, our tablet need special patch for rotation animation:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/ac555b9ca9a76d13a26fc9ea40980fe57258761b
It requres rebase, though. Line 200 of services/java/com/android/server/wm/ScreenRotationAnimation.java is now line 223.
My own build still don't boot. Both boot.img and system files are broken after building..
Thanks for your work. In the 10.1 forum they have already a pretty good working version. Is it possible to use the same sources/manifests of the P75xx for the P73xx devices, so that whenever they do any changes that we also get the same changes for the P73xx?
@DemonGloom: I think you already tried it?

Yes, we are using almost the same device trees. Just wait for @pax0r to build new version.
Currently I cannot get mic working in phone calls. Incoming/outgoing calls with headset works great.
BTW, @pax0r, should i post latest TWRP for our devices or CWM is good enough?

To be honest I would prefer one CWM, because then I can switch easily between Android 4.4 and the previous versions.
I don’t see any reason that TWRP doesn't do that for you
