Ideas for a killer android app - HTC EVO 3D

Hey I am kinda bored so I want to try app developing, I want to make something useful and gets many downloads such as root explorer or titanium backup. Could you guys toss some ideas this way?

Idiotic games are usually the most popular

You do realize that developing apps isn't just something you can do in a few hours right? And those apps that get hundreds of thousands of downloads have entire companies behind them?

If I had an idea for an app that would get 100,000 downloads, why would I share it?

I know how to make apps, i have made quite a few for personal use. Because maybe they have a brilliant idea and they don't know how/can't code, we can team up.

I've always wanted to make a better First Responder app.

How about an app that steams movies from the pc while on the go..one that a lot cheaper than vlc direct and one that easier to set up

Thanks guys I have enough for now

I know you say you have enough, but here is a request I hope would be easy... An app that would allow a long press on the volume buttons to change tracks from the current music app in use. Example, I use power amp, the HTC music app, and doggcatcher for podcasts. But most roms I can only use long press for the HTC music app. If possible, I would be grateful.

That isn't possible as an app, and even if it is, it would hog up a lot of battery running in the background, you would need a new rom or tweak to accomplish that
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2

I would like for an app to top me off in the morning and make me a cup of coffee.

I would like to see an app like Boot manager, since is no longer supported and I personally have trouble making dual boot on my phone with that app (bot loops). I heard it has something to do with jb.
Model: Evo 3d GSM,

A PRL Manager for HTC evo 3d

PRL's can't be flashed in recovery, you need a program like qpst to do that, and as I said before my 3vo is gone, so no device specific stuff
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2

I did not expect device specific or flashing PRL's in recovery I simply want QPST running and connecting to the device through root.

How about an app that transfers my save games from my old device to my new device?
I mean how come iOS does this and Android doesnt?

Titanium backup already does that and so does appbak and any other app backing up tool

No I meant without the need of root access. Titanium Backup without the root access is what I'm talking about. Not every user understands rooting. I'm talking about a simple app with a click of a button just like iCloud.
But I'm guessing save datas are stored in a rooting access required location am I right? If thats the case, then only Google can come up with something.

if you are still accepting ideas..
have you seen the google glass' video that says how it feels like to wear google glass?
try making something based on that model, like the camera viewfinder is our eye and we say to give commands. Let's say we speak "what's the weather" and it shows the weather in viewfinder just like it is shown in video. other features can also be implemented.

XDA App not working on Nook

I spent some time looking through forums, if I missed the answer to my question you can throw me in the fire.
Running nightlie #95 and dal oc [email protected] 1200 mhz. 7.03 stable all the way up to this nightlie I haven't been able to run the XDA on the nook. It loads up and I can make a few selections than it fc's.
Is this because I changed my build.prop for netflix? Any ideas?

NOT TRUE!
The XDA app (free version) looks for an IMEI number which the Nook does not have. DizzyDen has put together an app to patch your framework.jar file to give your Nook a fake IMEI based off your Serial number so apps like the XDA app, Swype, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app which look for IMEI numbers will work.
Is using Tapatalk just the easier idea?
Guys i hate to break it to all of you but the XDA APP has work on cm7 since day 1. No mods no tapatalk pro no nothing. install it from the market and run what ya brung. i have never had a problem with it once.
EDIT: This is without any hacking of the IMEI at all.
I will have to try out the imei file. Sick of seeing "process com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity"
Thanks for the ideas

This is true on phones (which have an IMEI) not on the Nook...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
In my experience the XDA never worked right. On both NookieFroyo and on CM7 I could use it to browse but once I tried to login it would force close. Works great on my Eris though!
I wonder what is the advantage of the app is anyway? I just use Opera and go to the website. I'm doing it right now.
again i beg to differ I have never once had an issue with the XDA app from the day i got my nook. Never hacked anything. It has always worked perfectly every single time. Not to say other people my not have issues, but both my Nook and My Wife's nook has never had an issue.
edit: Question or clarification perhaps. Are you guys getting errors just trying to load the app or when making a reply?
The error it's typically upon logging in.

When you say it worked from day one, which version of the app and CM7 are you referring to? And what are you on now?
I have a recent SD install CM7/n87 and a fresh download of the XDA free app, and it FCs everytime when you try to do anything relating to log in. Can you confirm what you're running, may have done special to get it to work?

fuul, what you describe is exactly the problem I am having
I owe this thread an apology. I had never actually tried to login on the XDA app. I just browsed forums.
Note However: Now that i have logged into the app. I can still browse fine, the only time i'm getting a FC is when i try to reply to a thread.
Again i apologize for not testing further before spouting off at the mouth. Yes there is in fact a problem, i just don't experience "as bad" of a problem as some of the rest of you.
I gotta say that its kind of rediculous this app has problems running on the nook correctly since xda seems to be the center of Nook Color hacking universe.
Then again the app is pointless when I can just use my browser. In fact I'm now getting rid of any and all apps that can be replaced with my browser. What's the point?
just get the xda premium app, that does not require an imei number or do the framework hack.

But why? What does the app offer that browsing to the full site does not? Besides looking like crap and taking up space.

Anytime I can use an app made for a particular forum I use that over the browser anyday. Having multiple bookmarks saved for each forum thread and for each forum starts to clutter up the rest of my non forum bookmarks. An app like XDA lets you save favorites within the app itself, therefor freeing up adding 20 some odd extra bookmarks of threads I like to keep up on.
The site provides that same functionality. You can subscribe to threads eliminating the need to fill your browser with extra bookmarks.
When I open my browser and click on my xda bookmark I'm automatically signed in and ready to pickup on all the threads I have participated in or have interest in. I just don't see the need for a xda app. There has to be a reason for the app. There must be something it does for the user the website will not. WHY!?!?!?!? LOL

Lower bandwidth for one? Noticed that with the stock browser and dolphin HD, there are times when browsing the XDA site directly it has issues rendering certain pages. Could be luck of the draw and a misbehaving ad banner for all I know, or a bad internet connection from my side, no idea. But overall the XDA app feels like it's lower bandwidth.
Since I haven't been able to get the logged in version of the free XDA app to work, I couldn't tell you beyond just this if it's worthwhile.

Rooting and apps coming from EVO

Well so I finally root my thunderbolt , today I had enough time after work, anyways , I have the original Rom the I have to download to root and it has all those Verizon apps and other crappy like rock band and what not, in Sprint you could practically take everything out, is it the same for Verizon ? Or are there any apps that I can't uninstall everything form Sprint or are there any apps like backup assistant that I can't ? Thanks for the help , and what roms you guys recommend ? I was using synergy Rom rc1 on EVO but it looks like the only got nightlies on thunderbolt , anything else that includes HTC hub and such ? Thanks for the help again

Here is a list of the roms. I am running Das-Bamf's Gingrebread de-sensed, stripped down version. I like it, but if you go Gingerbread, you will have to download and flash the new radio. I would suggest trying a few of the fryo Roms first, and go form there. here is a link to a thread with a list of roms.

Renaming them should remove them from your app drawer. Root Explorer or another app like it should make this very easy.

gaming with same data on different devices

say, i wanna play gta 3 on my phone and after a while i switch to my tab and go off where i left off with my phone
is there any app or way that shares the same game data on different devices?
If you're rooted you could copy the data folder from /data/data/ then blue tooth it, then paste it.

You can also skip adding another app entirely and just do it using Tasker. Method here. No ads, no extra app running, great solution IMO.

I'm not sure that this particular method would work if you keep those names, but who knows, there may be a workaround. I actually keep the files with descriptive names in dropbox, but when I move the ones I want to use over to the SD card, I rename them 1 through whatever. That way, I keep the names for my purposes, but they behave when they're on my phone.
Definitely worth the effort to learn how to use Tasker, it's really a revolutionary app. You can eliminate a LOT of standalone apps that just do specific tasks like this using Tasker, and make your phone behave in ways that are positively magical.

Aroma app package

Hey everyone, I have been creating a list of apks for a personal aroma app installer for myself. I'm sure most of you know about this but I haven't seen it around here. Since I have a decent list of apps already, I'm offering to share it if enough people want it. I will take app requests as well to add to it. I just wanted to get an idea if people want it before I ask permission from the creators to use it. I would like to give a little something back to the community even though it's nothing difficult or spectacular.
Let me know if it's good or a waste before someone starts flaming me lol.

I've been thinking about this question, but I think I know the answer. If people submit apps, they will need to be free apps, because most paid apps don't have advanced enough license checks to prevent users from side loading them without them having purchased the license in the play store.
So am I correct to assume that the aroma installer you publish will be with free apps only?
Right off the top of my head, titanium backup and kernel tuner come to mind and nice freebies, android tuner free is another good one if you like it better.
Absolutely, only free apps. I know some obtain paid versions without paying but I will not be doing that since I do not want to cause problems for xda, myself, or others. I would be including apps such as internet browser, sms, root tools, social apps, tools, etc. Several of the more popular options for each

You can create an update.zip of TB from the settings and it places a flashable zip on your sd to flash in recovery. But it will definitely be in the package anyway. Was the first one I added.

It would be useful to be able to load a file manager from recovery... I use Solid Explorer (paid) but I don't know if it would work to sideload the trial and then restore the key with Titanium. Maybe you could include Solid Explorer, and ES Explorer as a nice free alternative?

Like I mentioned in the previous post, I won't include paid apps for obvious reasons but es file explorer and astro will be in there. I will add solid as well.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Just to be clear, I did mean that you could include the trial, and then users could restore or re-download the key (although I'm not entirely sure that that will work - I know that for Fancy Widgets, I have to download both the app and the key from the store unless I restore my previous Android ID, but it works fine to restore Apex and its key, and Titanium stores its license on the SD card, so I never have to install the key at all).
Although many paid apps are readily available for free, I don't see why anyone should avoid paying an extremely modest sum to help the developers maintain their devices and services and hence their apps.
Ya I know. I will add the trial version like you mentioned. And I agree. I used to get all the paid apps for free but I guess I grew up and realized I should help support them. They are so cheap to buy anyway.

You could create an empty folder for people to put their own paid apps in. Aroma does not care if the folder is empty. Just call it paid with /data/app in it.
You could also create another folder for people to drop their apps in it that you did not include.
Just don't pre select them in the menu
