Hi all!
About a year ago I'd created this Flash application at the request of a few colleagues around the office. Couple weeks back I stumbled across the source files on my home PC and thought it'd be a funny idea to tweak it into a Pocket PC friendly app that anyone could use on-the-go to create some funny office-speak.
The current version supports two "modes". One to create random or custom-crafted phrases, the other to randomly generate full sentences of corporate jargon with a rolling history that you can peruse. The phrase mode allows you to randomly swap out verbs, adjectives and nouns independently.. or to specify a custom noun of your choice.
The app uses an XML file as a word database, so you can easily add or change the pre-supplied words and phrases!
I do plan to add a few more features to it in the near future, as well as make the interface slightly more finger-friendly. It works pretty well now but the performance could use some tweaking (animations get a little choppy at times).
So, hopefully some of you can have some fun with this. Its been a riot around my office so far and a few of the guys have put it on their phones to fool around with in meetings
Install is easy, open the zip file, copy folder to device, run SWF file. Flash Lite 2.1 is the only requirement. It should support all standard resolution configurations (elements should reposition themselves based on screen size/orientation) as well as both touch and non-touch screen devices.
If anyone has any issues running it, please let me know and I will try to fix it
Oh yeah, you can run this in a regular Flash player on your desktop as well in case anyone wants to fire it up there instead.
This, sir, is going straight to my device. thanks for the great app.
I love it! Great work
Thanks guys Much appreciated!
Haha... this is cool. Downloading now....
My friend, I just tried this and it rocks! I can't wait for the next staff meeting! I'll be getting a nice raise very soon...Thanks!

Please do share! I will update the included default file with whatever else you guys come up with. I have a few slated for addition now based on some conversations I had at work recently
"living document" is definitely going in ASAP LOL
Hi Everyone,
Im new so go easy lol
Im wanting your help with regards to my thesis im doing at University. Im conducting an experiment with regards to people interacting with my andriod application. Its going to be the most simplistic application and probably only needs 1 button ie 'enter' and Im wanting to find out if there are any ready made andriod apps out there, fully sourced etc for editing and publishing... Or starter kits that input the code for you. I have no software dev experience and could use some help, as I say im just looking for a smal app with just one button that says "enter" really, but allows me to put a logo on... quite basic
If anyone can help with this, that would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to XDA
In the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) There are usually about 5-10 example apps for each version of Android (such as Android 2.2 or Android 3.0)
They are very simple, such as a notepad app, or a business card manager. And they are great ways to learn if you dissect them and poke around.
Have a look here to get started:
http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html
Good luck!
Thanks very much, thats really much appreciated
If your app is indeed that simple, private message me if you need something coded.

Hi Well-Esteemed XDA Developers
May I ask for your expertise in changing the battery icon as well as the color of the toggle buttons in the notification bar up top?
I've already rooted my Note and tried the paid version of ROM Toolbox, but even after rebooting, the battery icon refuses to change. I understand that the toggle widgets might be harder to modify, so I'll be patient with this, hoping someone would find a way around this.
I apologize in advance if this is something that has already been fixed, my last Samsung was the Omnia i908 for Windows Mobile 6, and I've checked other threads specific to the Galaxy Note and nobody has yet brought this up.
Thanks once again XDA for the amazing experience you've bought to my Android experience!
You may need to wait a little while until the devs get their hands on this device. Be sure to check out the "GN Android Development" forum instead of "General" for this kind of modding.
You can use uotkitchen website to do it. Works perfectly on my GN
how did you manage to change the icon... i have kitchenpro but i'm a noob, so i'll be extremely grateful if you could share how to change it
I am interested in creating and android based app where short posts like twitter can be shared with a group of people who has that app. So for example if 10 people have this app and one of them decided to create a post and share it then all the other 9 people should be able to see it in there feed. I am new to app development and was hoping I can get some kind of guidance from here as to where to start. I am not sure what kind of platform or technology is used in facebook and twitter for this specific purpose but I would like a similar setup. I really appreciate any help or guidance to help me get started and thanks in advance.
Google Cloud Messaging might be helpful in that case: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html
I'd, however, suggest to create some easier apps first, just for learning. Keep in mind, a twitter clone is a big and difficult project.
Smaller project
I would like to start from a smaller project but not sure about this area at all. I was thinking to just create a small app first where I create a post and it appears on the other end. Any ideas as how to go about it? thank you for your help.

I don't know how to do that as I've never really been interested in networking. I'd suggest to do something without networking as your first application to get used to Android's UI elements and to Android code in general.
As soon as you understood that you can do as much networking as you want but I would start with something that is easier. (A calculator is a typical beginner project. )

i ll give the example of Facebook
there
newsfeeds run on Hadoop
messages are on nosql not sure about this
all the searches you perform on the new graph interface (exculding those on messages) are through FQL
its a language of their own Facebook Query Language
Python is the backbone of it all, chief scripting language on thier server
of course the webinterface you see is php and javascript
........ this much only i know
but there are a few more
as u can see there's more to it than it seems to be so starting with such a thing won't be a wise decision !
"no hill too high to climb" - proceed this project if you really want to !

after hours of browsing and finding no help i figured out a easy way to get diag mode with diag port for my pc my tab is 90% flashed im stuck at writing a regular prl every one iv tried to write i get an error saying something about the prl length is overloaded / to much for this device the prl i tried are the basic 3g prls used when flashing to Verizon pp such as 0001,2 and 3 and such; any help would be appreciated
to get into diag in this device root is not necessary all you have to do is install a app called shortcut master.apk i used the full version the lite version might work but i dont know,
once installed open it and go to app explorer scroll down till you see usb settings you will see two choices
usb settings and usbsettings
touch the 2nd one usbsettings
you will then see three choices choose the 1st one usbsettings
you will be giving three choices choose the 1st one which is launch viola magic
choose the option all the way to the bottom you you are now in diag mode and have diag ports in device manager on your pc
spc is the same as all verizon devices and 16 digit pw is the same one for samaung i920 i dont know it its integrated into cdma ws if you dont have it look it up
this device flashes like all other verizon devices with the exception of the dang prl issue where im stuck at any help on that would be nice
this is info for the know hows im sorry i dont have the time or patients teach ppl how to flash thats not why i made this thread so please dont ask me how to do this and how to do that ive helped as much as i could here
PUNCTUATION !!!
And this seems suspiciously like a question, which probably belongs in q&a.
no clue what a prl is, but about the overload/oversize portion of your thread/post,
have you tried trimming out padding [hex]
you're flashing the crap out of your device
and can obviously manage your business so,
it couldn't hurt to experiment...,
and use a comma once in a while.... and the occasional period.
:silly:
m
after thought, dd write to dec/hex address ?
1st off all i was typing from my phone with swype but i care nothing about punctuations, 2nd if you are coming on here to criticize then move around , this is in a since a help thread but mostly to help others,i haven't seen anything anywhere providing the info i have, and last but not least i don't run a bushiness i don't even flash for money i do this for fun and for fun only so i am asking you to please stay out o this thread with any negativity

My question in response to yours was about attempting modifying the file via hex editor to remove padding, and so reduce the size of the
file, and maybe achieve a successful flash since, from your jumbled mess of a post, the best i was able to decipher was that may be the
issue.
My compliment to you was to aknowledge that you are clearly skilled in managing your device. As such, I passed the suggestion
concerning the hex editor approach and alternately the dd approach to circumvent the issue, [risky yes]
Since you want to be a fathead , my insult to you is as follows;
If you lack a sense of humour, then shove your head in a blender and you may find it. :good:
If you are meaning to create a guide thread, then do so neatly and clearly. You are not as bright as you think.
You are certainly free to request the moderator to remove my post. However "Genius" my question remains.
m
well i apologize, i m no t here for grama nor does anywhere in the faqs require one to use it, i am also not here to argue with you , i am getting the point across and that is that . with that being said thanks for the compliment , i am some what a seasoned flasher but do it only for fun don't have a business here., and i know nothing about editing prls. this maybe a help tread in a since to you but it is more so to help others whom were seeking this info but didn't know where to find it
What about the trick with any cut.apk and test.prl ?
