REQ: iphone app ported to android, or something close - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have no developer skills at all and I'm illiterate when it comes to writing programs, so I'm hoping maybe someone is here who's infinitely more adept at this stuff than me who's willing to take this on (if not, well, thanks for reading anyway! )
can't send the actual itunes app link since it's blocked at work, but there's a review of an app here (http://www.iphonefreak.com/2010/09/midnight-hd-ipad-app-review-visual-delight.html) which I couldn't find anything similar on the Marketplace.
Anyone else interested in getting something like this app running on our platform? If so - can you do it since, as already stated, I can't do anything to help get this done?

There are tons of android alternatives.
Just search "Particles" in Play store.
Cheers.

Questions should be asked in the Q&A forums, not Development forums.

How do themes work?

I was just curious if anybody could point me to any information regarding how to start *making* themes. Like how they're assembled...it seems to just be a bunch of media, but what exactly, I don't see a manifest or anything in there that directs what to go where. Also trying to figure out what's in the APK's? Anybody have any input here? A link? Some knowledge? A simple theme to tear apart (and/or how to do it)?
I'm not much of an artist, I'm just trying to figure out how this stuff works, nobody wants to tell anybody anything, it seems, I don't get why .
Also, how does the theme tie into the framework at all? I'm assuming this is the framework/SDK version? Like they're typically just icons or pictures and the like, no?
Thanks in advance, guys .
No manifest? Have you ever unzipped a theme?
I would do a lot of reading. But since it is in a sticky... Im def not going to link you.
The apks contain the modified images and xml's.
Oh and this is a question. This goes in the q&a section.

Yes, this is the 3rd one I opened, I don't see anything like a manifest document. Some have the installation script, but that's just boiler plate stuff regarding installation, the rest is just a .JAR or .APK - both of which are most commonly used for compiled code.
I apologize for asking this in this forum, I keep forgetting that this isn't a forum dedicated to android dev, but only postings of android dev, not questions. My mistake. I ask that an admin move this to the Q&A section.
I didn't see nor do I see any stickies here regarding theme structure .
I'll report my post now.
Try the themes board? There was a guide there last I checked.

Thx, and I do want to give back and help the community. It's what I like doing. Unfortunately I'm not getting much headway in the realm of Kernel or ROM work, but I'm sure eventually I'll find something.
People get antsy when the rules aren't followed, which is understandable. I just keep forgetting the dev section isn't a place for Q&A - blah. 2nd time this happened - this will very hopefully be the last, though >.<.

[Q] Moving to AOKP

I'm currently rooted, but running stock ICS.
How do I get to AOKP without loosing my apps and their data safely?
I'm fairly comfortable with ROMs/rooting on my Droid phones. Just a little nervous with my spendy tablet.
Thanks guys.
Titanium backup. Oh and if you want AOKP, you might want to check another site for the latest version.
Thank you! XDA doesn't have the latest version? Wha?
Man I am soooo nervous to unlock.
Also I guess my next question is with AOKP updates. How do I apply those without wiping cache/data and all that every time like on my Droid?

Sorry, I would speak my mind about moderators around here, but I'd probably be banned for free speech.
It's easier to bash the President than it is to say anything negative about an XDA moderator.

Glad to see freedom of speech is still alive and kicking. Hehe. Not the only forum with that problem.
And I wasn't trying to be negative. I thought that XDA was THEE place to go for Android stuff. Am I wrong? Where would I locate the newer version? AOKP.co? Just don't wanna download from Uncle Jimmy's used Android ROMs or anything.
Thanks.

I concur with you completely. I thought XDA was THE place to be. Apparently, there are other discos in town and there is a lot of fighting in between them.

It is not the popular opinion but simply put the forum is not controlled by the government. There is no free speech here.

And you're ok with that? Wow....
Back on topic though... how do I easily update AOKP versions?
all I ever do when trying a new rom, is back up with Titanium Back up and also with Clockwork.
I install the new rom and see if its working fine. Then reinstall my apps and I am good. If all else fails, i restore to a back up on Clockwork
Of course I am ok with it. Those are the rules I agreed to. Do I think the mods are fair? It depends on the situation.
But simply put this is not a public board. It is a private board that the public at large may view and join as they wish. Grow up.

Yeah maybe its not a bad idea, it could be called 'Free Speech XDA Developers & Forums'
Sorry was hazying away from Topic while thinking about the freedom of speech thing.
But too many good devs and good people with great ideas get kicked out because many mods do not know how to not involve their personal feelings in their jobs as mods.

Grow up? I try to exercise my rights and you tell me to grow up? Maybe you should take a quick look at yourself before you judge others.
I found Build 34 of AOKP and I think I am gonna go with that version. I also successfully got a backup made it Titanium so I think I am good to go.

You are still having an issue understanding this.
You have no rights on this message board. This board is not in any way run by a government body and as such does not have to respect your rights.
If you want to test my assertion I suggest you try breaking a few of the rules and see what happens.
If you wish to go somewhere with no censoring may I suggest 4chan?
Congrats on finding what you were looking for.

All of what you said is the reality but it doesn't make it right either. This is why my involvement here is limited. There are certainly other places to have community, a little more "free speech", and get Roms.

I agree. It's just so bad for business, when you kick one of the most popular and one of the few devs for this device. I'm refreshing the competitors website more now then xda because my dev isn't here. I'm sure i'm not the only one.

It's this way on tons of forums out there. Someone becomes an admin, they think they rule the world and then it gets to their heads. Find a welcoming forum, and stick with it!
If you want to ban me for saying that. Go for it, I won't be stopping by here too often anymore anyways, just like many others. Just solidifies my views and quite honestly makes the XDA community look bad.
However I did find what I was looking for at a different site and the users there were very helpful and I was able to successfully get to AOKP, and they even helped me troubleshoot some other issues with CWM.
So I am sorry XDA, I've loved you for a long time, but there are much more welcoming places out there for Android Development.
And thank you for the users that did actually try to help me get to AOKP on XDA.

Small Apps Functionality

Hi all,
Has anyone decompiled the new ICS browser/calculator/remote control apps to work out how the small apps function works? I have a couple of ideas for utilising the small apps, but I've no idea how the function is called or manipulated. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Dude I really appreciate your enthusiasm and would love to help you and all... I just don't know how. The only reason I say this is because not many people in this community like to respond to anything and leave people hanging. Didn't want to leave you hanging

Yeah, I figured that might be the case. The Development forum is depressingly low on activity, but just thought I'd check if anyone had any ideas.

I'm pretty sure the only Sony Dev links I've seen were pre-ICS, but if you remember where you saw it, that'd be awesome. I'll have to check it out.
There's a small app SDK download available it teaches you how to make a hello world app, Istanbul an official sont thing so google it

Some people have it working on the original Note using Chainfires plugins but last time I checked they didn't work on JB.
That being said some people have said they got it from the Samsung App Store, whether or not that's true I don't know. I don't know it shows up for me on the Samsung App Store app.

I've tried the samsung store version with no luck. I remembered it loaded but something was off... I think it was the graphics dimensions and colors but I dont remember. Also needs to run on Jelly Bean unless someone can refer me to a tut or rom on ICS which I rather not do. I defiantly would like to stay on JB. I know it works on GNI through Chainfire ICS lol

There is no way to go to ICS unless someone makes a ROM which they won't do most likely.
The only way to get it to work will be if Chainfire updates his mods, which he said he had no intention of doing, or they port it to our phone.
I'm waiting for Rigonauts and the devs of that are real assholes.

Chainfire is in such demand. It doesn't even have to be free. I'll pay $10-15 for an app like this. I'm sure other DEVs can take over the project. If I knew where to start I'd do it my self. Within the last 2 months I've learned to make my own roms edit apks and flashable mods. I don't know that much about programming. Just web languages. HTML CSS PHP and a Little Java. Admins/devs enlighten me please I'm willing to learn and do the work myself. Maybe some help but you guys get the picture I'm willing to put forth effort.

Chainfires app shouldn't have to be completely rewritten, I don't think, just updated enough to work with 4.2. Maybe you should post in the Android Development thread and ask there. The general one for all android, not the one for a single device.
