hi all...
i'm looking for someone to build a clone of the word-game boggle. I'd like to work with a developer to create this app. I' am happy to fund this project and work out any arrangement which would be in the developers best interest.
in the iphone it is called wurddle (http://semisecretsoftware.com/wurdle/), it is probably the best boggle clone out currently. there are several apps out for winmo (Wordly, Scramble, etc) but they are all rubbish; actually, Wordly is very good except that the developer didnt pay attention to several important factors( the algorithim for letter distribution is not thought out, so you can never make any real words due to the consonant-vowel distribution).
i am an avid word game enthusiast and would like to build this to proper specs (most updated dictionary, various dictionary options, 5x5 and 4x4 optionality, proper letter algorithim, i could go on....)
please note i am not looking to steal anyones work nor am i requesting warez. i would like to build this from the ground up and incur whatever costs are necessary to do so.
i am not super rich but i can afford to fund this to a degree, perhaps fully. mostly because it is killing me that the iphone has this app and my awesome hd2 has junk. i've attached a few pictures of wurdle, wordly, and actual boggle to give you an idea of what im looking for.
let's create something great!
thanks all,
jason
fyi: i posted an almost identical thread in htc hd2 q and a. im not trying to be a spammer-doubleposter, so please let me know if im breaking any rules and ill gladly have the other one deleted.
Fellow Mods,

Jason, i have deleted the post in QnA so you dont get spread out replys, cheers.
Hmm...This seems like a rather interesting project. I could take this on! I'm not the best dev out there, but this would def. serve as a great learning block for me, and I could definitely get it done. I just need the ideas and how you want it to look/work, and I can do the rest
PM me or email me at [email protected]

i love this site. love it.
Yes, like the idea of the program, You need a dictionairy for every language you create it in.
This will be one of the best game with a very good learning effect for mom and da for her childs . And for the game freaks under us ...
I can help you with the development if needed but actually I would like a program like this:
- http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cijfers_en_Letters
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countdown_(game_show)
Does it already exist too?
i would play this game all day, looking forward to it.

@the0ne:
that's a good sample, but there is no trail version. So it is not the solution to see how it works or do some tests before pay. I think in this case we must find out the wheel a second time .

actually that game sucks. i bought it, like many others. they all suck. there is at least one inherintly wrong thing in every single one of these boggle clones that make it nauseating for me to play. it has the right idea but clearly no developer understands how to create a great, realistic boggle app; which is why i have decided to step in and do this myself.
that game show thing looks pretty cool actually.

Yes, it does.
Could you make a little storyboard what functions, actions, options this program should have. I'm interested in the development but don't know for sure what should be in or out.
Any developers out there that would like to help me learn to develop
help in any way......
roms, kernels etc

Are you a software engineer? Do you actually know how to program? If so, what languages? You'll have to tell us your current knowledge level. There's a big difference between 'how do I set up the Android SDK on my computer?' vs. 'what's C++?'.

This,first off, develops won't spend large amounts of time helping you out to learn to develop (assuming you have some knowledge of C++ and Javascript) which would still take forever.
Second, you can learn to develop by yourself by using google.

Yes it was rude of him. However it is correct, you could post this in the general forum or in the question for if you re word it to a question. There are plenty of free tools out there that will help you learn to develop. Like stated earlier, Google is your friend.

Could you answer the questions I asked in my last post? I think it'll help you find help faster.
(Sorry for the prick who first answered you - ignore him.)
EDIT: nvm, I notice you answered my original post already.
will everyone settle the f down about the section. god you guys are like flies on sh*t. if a moderator feels this is the wrong section, it will be moved. DONE
to answer your question man: i hate to break it to you, but youre not likely to find much personal help here, much less on any forum. mainly because of what you are seeing in this thread: people are d*cks online.
like many people have said, and i know this isnt the answer you want to hear, youre probably gonna have to teach yourself. only because i guarantee you, even if someone taught you the steps on how to code, build, compile etc, you still probably wouldnt fully understand why it works the way it does.
i recently developed the desire to learn how to build kernels, but i never even began to think about asking for help here because i knew i would get the type of idiotic responses youve received, so i faced the music: if i want to learn, im gonna have to start reading.

So you want to know how to work on the Android OS, but don't know how to program? It seems like you'd first need to learn how to program.. and there are certainly better ways to learn than from an XDA developer!

You have a large amount of fundamentals to learn first. Software development courses are quite easy to find online. You'll want to learn C++ and Java... since Android apps are written in Java.
After you have learned the fundamentals of software development, *then* you might be ready to learn how to get the Android OS source on your computer to start playing with it.
I'm very inyerested in learning also and would gladly pay for a develepers time

Ok thats what i was looking for. Thank you, I appreciate it!!
Also note that if you learn one programming language - i.e. C++ - other programming languages will come more easily to you. Regardless of which language you're using, 60%+ of everything is the same - i.e. for loops, if statements, classes, inheritance, etc. Syntax is largely similar.
Also keep in mind the high level differences between languages like C++ (which is a very low level language) and Java (a higher level language).. for example, in C++ you *really* need to worry about disposing of objects correctly, whereas languages such as Java and C# have their own Garbage Collector which does these things for you. This is just one example.. there are many many others.
Hello everyone.
First of all, I don't even know if this question is noobish or not, but I just can't solve this "problem" (or not?)
So, the thing is, I don't like color "fading" on my GS3 display. I see layers that fade out one below eachother, and it is deffinitely not right. For example when I start some app like Solid Explorer, the second before the main page loads I see these annoying "layers". And also on any image where the color has to fade out into another color, it is also noticable. Then, as I guessed, it depends on kernel.
As I said, I don't know what kind of question is this ) and I don't know if someone knows about that but still, do you know something about that?
PS. I attached a screenshot of solid explorer before it loads the main page so that you could know what I'm talking about.
Thank you in advance
it's called color banding, try a custom kernel

I tried every god damn kernel I found, the best of them was Siyah 1.9.1 but it's not perfect either. I remember when I was on stock there were no such problems and color banding was perfect. Do you know any kernel? What do you use? I have samsung I9300

Thats the thing. No one can tell you what one will work for your device as each and every device is different. So you will have to test them out.
As for the language. The whole GD is not needed. While I dont really care this is a world wide forum and we need to respect everyone.

As I understand, the part of the main aims of this website is to share our experiences about different devices. So, there is a big chance, that someone has had a problem like me, this is why I asked? Why are you so aggressive towards me?
In addition, I am not from USA/UK and I'm not native English speaker, but this "GD" thing I hear everywhere, so I didn't know it is that "big deal", specially, when I do not offend anyone.
Anyway, if you don't have any suggestions, you should just leave and put your hating anywhere else.

Ok first you may want to rethink how you come off to a moderator of this forum. I was not aggressive in anyway. If I see anyone use that term they are told the same thing.
Now someone may have had the same issue but what worked for them may not work for you. That is why you were told to try out other kernels.
This is a developers forum not a support site. Most things here will always have a bug or two as we enjoy trying things out and breaking things to see if we can fix it.

To be honest, I really thought twice before posting the last comment, but still, I don't understand what you're saying at all. I said i'm trying lots of kernels to find the perfect one for me, but what is wrong with asking? What worked for them may actually work for me right?
I don't know about you moderators, but we, mortal users, sometimes support each other, so yes, this forum is somehow support site too.
Have a nice day.

No its not this is XDA Developers forum read the rules .
Anyway, if you don't have any suggestions, you should just leave and put your hating anywhere else.
You once more mistake the rules English speaker or not .
You where asked not to use such language all you had to do is not use such language and not reply as above .
What kernel best kernel what rom best rom posts are not allowed on XDA their is no best .
XDA does not spoonfeed .

My teacher gave me assignment to learn all about android OS and make presentation. I just need concept, how to start, finish, what is important to mention, etc. It would be nice if you give me thesis. I hope it is not much to ask
P.S. It is most important to concentrate on operatyng system aspects, "stories" are not so important.
Thanks, and sorry for bad english

If I was doing a presentation on Android focusing on the operating system aspects I might structure it something like this:
1. Title Slide
2. What is Android? (A brief overview of what the Android is, include a little bit of history and background on what Android is here as well).
3. Overview of the Android platform Architecture (Here is a good starting point)
4-7. In-depth of Various Android platform components (Here is a great reference source)
8. Android Software and Design Overview (Starting point for this topic, divide into multiple slides):
9. Overview of Custom Software (XDA is a perfect reference point for finding things for discussing briefly about this topic).
10. Conclusion (Connect all your points in a conclusion)
11. Slide asking audience if they have any questions
Overall this is a rough overview of a concept for laying things out but hopefully this gets you in the right direction. Let me know what you think of my suggestions and hope it goes well for you.

Yeah that's the plan.
I have (tried to) register ... guess I am waiting for the Moderator to OK it.
Maybe we could request a sub-forum in English for non-Native German speakers, so the poor German speakers don't despair with our Google translated posts
Strange is you cant find the Forum over the Page normally in the tabs but if you search for Forum than it appears I think they are shortly before official announce
I am not really satisfied with this format. It is a german Forum. But the G model is global. So not even all EU users are covered. That's bad and splits the G model community.
Just sign in Open an Thread in english but use google translate or something else that a thread get not doubled
You get me wrong. I am German and signed in allready, so no issue for me.
But I think this community is operated from ZTE Germany. That's the down side.
Why not global for G model
I am signed in, too
Lets hope they will at least create a global section.
I think you could post english content to the german sections, someone there should speak english and eventually they will create a section for non german speaking users
No but seriously the masquerade needs to end at some point. Yes that's a very welcome improvement (props to nuridurdu27 for their involvement!) but why is it that the community looks like a half baked student project (they really can't take the template of ZTE US community?), and most importantly why is it only in german? if ZTE germany is taking care of developping the rom for the international A2017G variant that's fine by me but they need to communicate with everybody in english and stop simply answering random questions in german on facebook. It's very amateurish, it's as if ZTE was outsourcing their product development to some companies worldwide and doesn't have a proper framework outside China/the US. I guess ZTE HQ should really step in and even out their efforts. Anyway, I'll try to whine a bit on ZTE france to check if they can do anything aside posting ads on facebook.
What is they are talking about?
