Hey there, I was just wondering if anyone out there can possibly have, or can create, the fallowing apps in WP7 style for android. I am trying to bring new ideas to the Seven+ project and I am open to test any wp7 style apps that anyone may have or can create.
Fallowing wp7 Style apps are: WP7 Camera, WP7 Calendar, WP7 Browser, WP7 Gallery, WP7 Facebook, WP7 Notes, WP7 Clock/Alarm and finally a WP7 Email app.
Remember, the apps must me for Android System(APK), if anyone is successful in creating any of these apps I'm pretty sure that the Seven+ project team will be happy to add you to their Dev team, also you can make some serious money if the apps are pushed to the Play Store.
Please Message me or email me ([email protected]) ASAP. Thank You.
I don't think it's possible they are specialy designed for WP7
Yea its possible, it has been done before but they removed the files so now i gpt to find people who would make them.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a visual basic 2010 plugin that enables me to develop an android app within the visual basic environment. I've searched everywhere and found these apps that don't do the job :
1.Basic4Android (Has its individual UI)
2.Mono for android (This is one is integrated in C# only )
Please help,
Thanks
What about this?

I have same problem, basic4android is actually ok for basic apps, but 2 big minuses:
1) Lot of windows, would like all in one, like example Photoshop.
2) App isn't popular, addons only on forum, with very loyal members, so no leaked additional libs for something more serious

I think you'd actually be surprised what you can do in Basic4Android! I personally love it, I've built games in it as well as a homescreen launcher. There are actually tons of additional libraries - you can make floating apps for instance with one of them. And if you know how you can always make your own libs and still enjoy the much easier interface and set up...

Yes, I use B4A. But these minuses still stay... UI windows should be merged, like photoshop...
I'm in the process of brainstorming and gathering people to build a Cydia style ROM modding app and would like everyone's input on what you would like to see in the app.
I'm going the repository route where all modifications for a specific ROM will be in one repository so you can access only packages, files, apps, etc for the ROM you are running. There will also be wallpaper, apps, font, widget, etc repositories so you can get the content you want when you want it.
As I see it, developers could put only the specific files that will be updated each ROM version in a downloadable package so you can flash say a ten megabyte file instead of going the route of downloading an entire ROM to update a small amount of the whole file system.
I figure it'll start with just the evo 3d then other people from other phones can make and add their repositories for their devices and it'll end up having all android devices with active development.
So please, give me your ideas and let's make this work.
Also if you are interested in helping to develop this app let me know.
I'm personally against his idea because I think there's plenty of alternatives to this idea that do what Cydia does and they do it better in my personal opinion....BUT if it does leave the drawing board and becomes a reality, I'll give it a shot just because
Also just to help you out because I see you're lacking information on what exactly Cydia is and all, I've provided a few links and videos so people can see what this Cydia thing really is.....

I am aware of what Cydia is. It is an iOS program basically that has repositories for apps, tools, modifications, etc. I've used it before when i had an itouch. What are the alternatives you know of? I'd like to take a look. And you're speaking of android alternatives correct?

HAHAHA I know you're aware BUT since you're asking for help for the development of the app, I figured I let people that are completely unaware of what Cydia is, know what it does and what exactly you're trying to bait them into helping
BUT like I said, I'm against the idea and to be honest....I highly doubt this will take off considering the reason the iPhone or iPod Touch or whatever, has the Cydia store is because you'e not able to flash zips and flash different types of ROMs like AOKP, CM, Codename Android, Paranoidandroid, etc....
On Android, you don't have to depend on a store like app to download simple things like center clock or clock widgets or features that are sometimes already included in ROMs.
Please don't take this as a bashing post or whatever because as you can see above, I'm trying to be as helpful as possible BUT your idea on Android doesn't apply.....it really doesn't

Not sure how it doesn't apply.....
It would be an app like cydia where you can go to download fonts, wallpapers, modifications, apps, ROM updates...
How does that not apply?
And like you said.......'sometimes already included in Roms'. What about when it isn't and you would like something? Or for people who need certain parts of Gapps. For example they want the Play store but not the rest of the 88 or so MB of random apps. It really makes sense to have each app downloadable via a repository to avoid having a bunch of apps you never will use or having to go back in after installing Gapps and deleting a lot of it just to get the play store....
P.s. What are the cydia alternatives you spoke of? I'd like to check them out.
Let me think:
If you want apps: look for it on the play store
If you want wallpapers: you can try zedge or flickies.
If you want to download ROM's: GooManager or the xda apps.
If you want fonts: look for a apk in the play store
If you want a single app from the gapps: look for it on the browser or xda app
...Just saying
Maybe you can develop the "cydia app" and post it here

That's the thing about Android. It doesn't lock you into one way of doing things.
MIUI and other AOSP ROM versions use themes and HTC Sense uses skins so depending on what ROM you have installed the approach to customization is different. HTC has their hub to get wallpapers and skins, while themes can be downloaded from many websites including XDA. The type of customization you are describing, including deciding which programs will be installed, can be done during installation of the ROM using the Aroma installer (SOS M and Viper3D are good examples). Some ROM's have their own customization apps like Venom Tweaks and Hub for the Viper3D ROM.
Apps like Mimimalistic Text and Desktop VisualizeR can really personalize icons and home sceens, but that's not something that could easily be configured in an external app.
Yes, it's more complicated in Android than iOS, but also much more flexible, and most of us prefer it that way. If you want something simple to customize programatically, stick with iOS, where Apple tightly controls the environment and options.

I like the idea of a "hackers" app store where all the unofficial apps could live. The problem is it could be used for malicious purposes. At least apps posted here are vetted by the community.
I know there is an updater app that Tommytomato (I think) made for Rom devs to use, but the few ROMs with the app don't seem to take advantage of it.
Why Google doesn't force developers to update their apps with Holo theme.?
For eg. Every app on Windows Phone has that metro theme.
So many apps look like iPhone style.
Many apps look like mobile webpages.
I love Holo UI, but so many apps (for eg Whatsapp..) have Gingerbread UI, and then I feel like am I using Jellybean or Gingerbread? ??
Android is an open platform and for the most part Google keeps their hands out of 3rd party apps. This is a good thing as it would drive away some developers. I suspect the reason apps are still using a GB UI is either because they haven't been updated recently or because the majority of Android devices still run GB.
Yeah, imagine trying to draw that line between what is allowed and what isn't. And the previous poster makes a very good point regarding holo in particular. You can't make a holo app and maintain gingerbread compatibility without doing a lot of special-casing based on which android api level the app is installed/running on. It's a lot of work. So many devs just design to the lowest common denominator.

Hmm, ICS & JB share is increasing, so I guess, We'll just have to wait, till developers realise this and make Holo apps.
One good thing is, apps which are 4.0 up, they all use HOLO apps.
Why doesn't Google make a polite request (...if not force...) to all top developers, like Twitter, Facebook, Limkedin....etc to update their apps to HOLO theme..?
Atleast this much Google can't do...?
Linkedin app is like iOS port. Painful to use. And there aren't many Linkedin Clients except DroidIn...but that is limited features.
Facebook I use Stream for Facebook. Its OK, so so.
For Twitter, I use Twidere, its Great. But I'd love a Official Twitter app.
All new apps to Android look like iOS copies. Google must do something....

Hey!
We know, that we can't run Android apps on Ubuntu Touch. The UT is a great operating system, but it has a big problem. It doesn't have any "neccessary" or "must have" applications NOW. These apps are the following by the community's opinion: FacebookMessenger, WhatsApp, Google Maps, a browser (like Chrome, Opera mini or Firefox), instagram, etc.
So, I want to know, that we are possible to port these (or any other) Android apps to UT, or not? If the answer is yes, i want to create a team. In this team i want to port Android apps, or create this apps alternatives.
Guess not much up in the forums
Request: Simyo Call Status App [Netherlands]
Hi there,
I haven't been on the xda forums a lot since the end of 2009 I believe but, since Canonical announced Ubuntu Touch this year, I have my reasons to pick up browsing the forums again. The Ubuntu Touch region, specifically.
Now, you were asking if there's any Android Apps to port to Ubuntu Touch.
I have a request that might not be of interest to a lot of people but will get pretty important to me once a 'user version' of Ubuntu Touch is released:
Simyo Netherlands provides an App to check your current "Belstatus" or call status.
This app provides me (on my iPhone) with the current remaining minutes/sms messages and remaining data (megabyte) for the current month within the contract.
Below the link to the Android equivalent in the Play Store, which might be portable to an Ubuntu Touch app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.simyo.mijnsimyo
Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in doing.
I might be of some help being a C# programmer, but I still need to check out the Ubuntu Touch SDK (my HTML5 and QML knowledge is poor) and that's something I won't be able to very soon....

I have a little bit of C# knowledge, but i'm good in HTML5, so this is a good beginning i think.

You can port any already existing apps that are found on Android, you just need the API from the app developers.

No, there's no tool like that for Ubuntu Touch (yet?).
I'd be willing to port my Android apps to Ubuntu touch. Does the work need to be done from scratch? Is there a simpler way to port a java, native, android app to Ubuntu?
I can't contribute anything app-wise, but this sounds like a really good idea; best of luck!
Ubuntu-Touch must LIVE! I have use it and it is cool system. Some problems with applications time to time appeares. And it is very hard find developers for apps. But I think if required apps appeares -- more people move to UT. And first of all that system must use NOT for games.

Till last some years UT has some changes. For example appears OpenVPN network manager in a base apps. But unfortunately that feature with unresolved bugs. Also I didn't find any browsers like QupZilla/Mozilla FireFox or Lynx. So As for me we required updated OS for first. And normal browser. Current versions of browsers are unusable. That i big part of work. For that required powerful developers group. I try to compile and run some examples to UT but unfortunately unsuccessful. But I try. Who also try do something but with successful result?
Hey,
so i wanted to ask if someone knows mor about when 3rd party apps adapt their icons to material you?
Not even those popular apps like Instagram or Whatsapp etc have adapted to it.
Is it even possible? I never developed android apps so i don't know if its possible, but i'm sure if google can do it other devs can too right?
