New to development need some guidance - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I am looking to convert my old S5 into a glorified MP3 player. The main feature I am looking to implement is a fully customized GUI centered around music and videos so on startup there would be no need to have and navigate to a music player app. I would prefer to develop what I can, if not everything, in python, my side goal of this project is to become much more familiar with python.
I would like to know if this is possible, and if there are any recent tutorials I could follow to get a basic understanding of what I can and can not do, most of what I could find through google search were around 3 years old and dealing with python 2 so I was hoping there was something more up to date I could follow, or at least someone could share their knowledge with me.
Thanks!

[dev] "fake call" freeware [coding]

Attention:
The Release is Here
I do alot of skinning but finally decided to jump in and try and actually create my own program, and i need a little help
Some of you may be familiar with trinket softwares "fake call." If not you can do a quick read up with this link.....
http://www.trinketsoftware.com/FakeCall/
I am in the middle of developing something similar but a freeware version (if you didn't know the software isn't freeware any longer) I had put a very basic but working program together in basic4ppc, i then found out i had to buy the software to compile the program. Since i already own visual studio 2008 i decided i would go ahead and try to rewrite my program in vs.
I have completed my design, but i need help with the code....
i need a help with-
"sound" - i obviously need to be able to play sound, i have looked in ms help in vs and they provide some keywords but i am getting errors when i debug.....
-how to load images from an xml file- (in need code for the call)
These will all get me rolling and allow me to release a beta......
I'm getting closer and closer
Because everyone has a different dialer or "incoming call screen," i have decided the best way to go about your fake call is to allow people to select a screen shot and a sound of their choice, creating a very customized realistic experience for every phone (as it would look just like the dialer on your phone) without having to input an obsessive amount of information. (caller name, picture, ect..)
thanks for your help in advanced
THANKS TO-
MRABIE
Attention:
The Release is Here
Wow, this is great. Ya, since fake call is no longer free this is a very amazing idea. I know a lot of people here will help you. We just have to wait. =)
Great idea, I downloaded that app a while ago when it was posted and was rather disappointed to find out it was fake freeware. A couple of suggestions, the aforementioned app would use the default ringer. The suggestion seems pretty simple from a logistics point of view but may be more difficult to program than I would imagine, when selecting a person with a ringer other than default associated use that one. Maybe have a call timer that will stay up and count until the end button is tapped. Hope this helps.
I didn't realize that the other software had gone commercial. Thanks for stepping up!!
bump............
What programming language are you using, considering Visual Studio supports several.
In vb.net your Wait method could be replaced by Sleep(milliseconds). Documentation. I am not sure, however, it this method is included in the compact framework, assuming that's the one you are using. Hope this helps somehow.
Full .Net documentation can be found here.
I am using .net but may consider rewriting again later after getting a release to rid the program of dependacy on the .net framework.
I Have updated the list, as i have gotten some stuff already figured out thanks to different people on the forums, THANK YOU
If you guys can help me out with this other stuff it would be greatly appreciated

thanks for posting.
just as a reference, there's something called DOWNCALL which is free and simple.
edit: my bad, this calls someone at a scheduled time.. doesn't fake a call.
this is nice of trinket but will only last until the 24, and is really only supposed to be for our webpage.
UPDATE:
i'm working on xml now
still need help with sound
did this die out or is it still in development?

rom / rom tweaking... newbie help request

Hey guys...
not an IT newbie, but a newb to fiddling with winmobile phones.
I have the CeRegedit tool, and the BuildOS tool from PPCKitchen...
But what I'd like is if someone can point me to a step by step newbs guide to this stuff?
Basically, i want to keep all the sprint APPS (music, etc), get rid of anything that is crap (and you guys can surely advise on that eh?! ).
I want to add a few apps, like YouTubePlay, and maybe a keyboard that is more useable / iphone like? a more flexible Cube to which I can assign apps? (I mean, sprint App Store? A default for your quick access? Marketing dudes at work!)
But I want to Optimize... Ringtones, media, music, camera, app install, etc. default to the SD card, etc.
so, what tools do I need that I don't already have? What advice can you give? Step By Step??
Thanks!!
John
a good place to start would be to do a lot of reading on these and other forums such as ppcgeeks....then i would start with a simple kitchen such as ppckitchen.org

I would not have asked if I'd not already don a **** ton of reading here, and on ppcgeeks... Damn...
no need for an attitude and if you have done a lot of reading you would know how to do just about anything as there are many tutorials on this site alone. the easiest way to fully customize your rom is with a kitchen. i gave you a link to the easiest one to use just follow the directions.

First, you need to know Java.
Next, then you can adapt and use that for the Android platform.
There are a few good sites... anddev.org is descent with code and tutorials and a few others. But there isn't as many as you would think.

You have to apply for AppInventor for now. It's in a BETA stage (as is a lot of google products) and it might take a while for them to approve of you.

[Q] Android App: create twitter feed platform

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 !
