Hi all,
I have quite a bit of developing experience but unfortunately have no idea how building roms works. Since now HALO from the PA rom is open source I was wondering if it has been ported as an APK. If it hasn't I was wondering if any kind folks out here know what needs to be done to port it and if anyone was willing to help. I understand pop up mini apps are not possible, and thats not what I am looking for. I just wanted the chat head style notifications. Also I know there is an app that does this, but I like the HALO implementation better, plus who doesn't like choices.
Thanks.
Just a friendly bump. If anyone perhaps knows how I can email someone from PA or knows any other dev who could help me out I would be much obliged.

I developed this ROM for TF101 2 months ago. So I've some experience with it.
So anyway, Its not ported as an APK file. Don't think all things in Android are an APK file. Its coded by Paranoid Android developers in the Android System. Then the HALO is being added into the Settings app, by modifying and adding some java and xml files in it. Then it need some time to test whether its working or not. If you want to know how the ROM build works, you can just Google for it.
If you want to see their work go to Paranoid Android github. That's the source for the ROM.

Yup, I know it was baked into android and isn't an app, but I was wondering if anyone knew how I could make it a standalone app. But thanks for the heads up, now I know where to look for all the code that HALO uses. I think it may be a fairly comprehensive code rewrite but Its worth a shot.
You might want to try these.

Yup I have seen those, the halo app is an addon that lets you pin apps to halo when you run a PA rom. The second has a very different execution style.

Thats not an app for HALO. That jus selects apps to be pinned n trigered.
And the 2nd 1 looks like halo but is not HALO at all
I know this is rather late, but I have been looking at the code lately and I was wondering if anyone has made any progress or has some deeper insight. I haven't been able to try because my computer is on its last legs and I wont be able to work on anything till it is replaced later.

best is always to go from stock, as it forces you to implement things and know what you're doing.

Hey Guys,
I'd like to get involved with making Android ROMs as well. I have a Droid and would LOVE to make my own Droid ROMs . I am already a student software developer so I don't mind getting into the nitty gritty, in fact, the deeper the better, so I can fully learn how to build and work with Android. I also hope to be able to make Android apps eventually too. I know Java and Perl fairly well and have recently started C and C++.
Any suggestions for where to start would be greatly appreciated, i.e. tutorials, videos, guides, what languages I need to know, what tools I should use (eclipse, etc., with what plugins, etc.). Thanks a bunch, and let me know if you guys have ideas for apps you'd like to see on the Market .

i am trying to compile from aosp. since i have no programming experience at all, it is a slow learning process so far. my ubuntu has redo and git running perfect now. i have eclipse working but have not used it at all yet. androidsdk 2.2 adb is fine but fastboot is a hassle.
so far, two froyo alphas both flashed but buggy. not one decent tutorial that makes the kernel compile/framework/gapps process clear
My AOSP 2.2 for passion/n1 alpha2 is pretty darn solid now. It took mushing together instructions from 5 incomplete tutorials to fill in the blanks.
What a great feeling to have a ROM not kanged. The Repo/Git tool has gotten easy to use after several long sessions using it in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Anyone on the same OS, I suggest you research and install both Java 1.5 & 1.6 and get use to switching between the two. Also, I have not yet used Eclipse but it isinstalled and it works with SDK.
The Android Open Source site does a decent job of walking you through Repo...Git...and getting the source. After getting that far, I stumbled through setting up a "vendor tree" and looking through all the folders and files to see what it was all about. Much of it was totally over my head. But after attempting several crap builds, the "compile" process is sinking in a bit.

I found this site to be very helpful for building from AOSP...

for getting source to compile ^^^
So I completely understand that we don't currently have an unlocked bootloader, and that the bootloader is encrypted, and the you may or may not have to have an unlocked bootloader in order to create custom ROMs.
This thread is NOT intended to be a discussion of that at all, instead I simply wanted to put out there that Cornerstone built into the ROM would be way cool, and those guys put the source code out there for this.
So, since I am asking for a dev to cook a ROM when they can that includes Cornerstone (for info: http://groups.google.com/group/cornerstone-dev), what can I do to help?
thanks!
There are already threads for suggestions,
What exactly is corner stone

I'm guessing something that lets you use two apps at once? Putting them side by side or something like windows 8?
Have clicked on the link and checked the info there but havent really found a description that makes sense but sure looks interesting!
It lets you have one large main app and two smaller app windows to the side in a slide out window. Looks pretty cool.
Agreed
i would like the two apps at once and also the ability to pin apps to the to the status bar
The problem is that you need the Android sourcecode to implement it the way it's meant to be implemented.
But Asus won't give us their sources

Asus is a party pooper.
I know it's possible because manufacturers are able to add custom UI sounds to the OS but I'm yet to locate the files to do so. I want to be able the default sounds that my phone came with like the Charger_connection.ogg and the Power_On.ogg which custom devs seem leave out of their builds for some reason.
Any help on this topic would be very appreciated!
Yes... I know i could just add them to media/audio/UI/ but if the OS is missing the code to load these sounds, the phone will ignore/not know they are there for use.. just to clear things up a little
Bump...
C'mon, someone must know..
You mean like iSounds for iOS? It's a little app that adds UI sounds for every occasion. I want to see something like this in Android, but no one has done something like this yet.
OMG I'M REVIVING A THREAD YAY.

no one know ?
Hi there,
Does anyone have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or know where I can get the launcher apk from? I want to test it on my HTC Flyer. I really like the way you can split the screens so you can do two things at once! Anyone care to point me to the apk?
Thanks all,
Kim
EDIT: Ok I found this http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/ and it even includes source code but how do I install onto a HTC Flyer? Anyone out there know how maybe? Would be quite cool to have this!
Kim
thats a no-go. its highly integrated in their framework, so to make this run you need to start learning how to program and develop in java, and when you experienced enough, you can start porting the functionality to work outside samsungs framework, which probably is in 3-5 years time. and that on top 1-2 years development for you alone to do it all.

What about if I try http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/ on my Leedroid rom installed on my HTC Flyer?
if you are a good kernel developer, you might get it done in 1 month or so in your spare time its not an app, its a kernel and framework environment.

Got it, would be nice if this can be made into some kind of .apk.. I'm just dreaming now! If you include the framework into the apk it might work? I know some java / android dev, I'm going to look into this.
It does't work like that. The Framework is a major piece of the ROM built during compile time and is ROM specific. It sits between the apps and the GUI. It ties into almost everything on the ROM and supports widgets, apps, etc.
Check this out for basic information and how it gets built and used.

can anyone modify the last working google music apk to not look for updates and or clone it and make it standalone. I know i for one am looking for something that allows me to have the nexus q enabled music apk and the new one both on my phone at the same time.
or is someone can inform me what to do I will work to try and do it.
I am willing to donate for the guy who can.

If you don't care about using Google Play Music 5.0:
Find old apk (4.5.9 I think)
Uninstall 5.0
Turn off automatic updating in market
Install old apk
???
Profit
This is the only thing I did, wasn't too wowed with the new features of 5.0.
I also don't know what it would take to add the functionality to 5.0 :/
Hope this helps.

Ok well the no updating might not be possible from editing the 4.5.9 app.
I looked around the 5.0 app and it definitely doesn't have the Tungsten support files so it isn't just missing visually
I'm wonder what is involved with porting the Tungsten code to the 5.0 app...
