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

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.
Hey I was wondering if there any Devs out there who would mind helping me develop a rom based on assassins creed 2 the game. I had an idea. A red colored rom with the Animated custom boot screen and shut down screen. If anyone has ideas please let me know. I will be in the.process of making this tonight.
How exactly is this a ROM? What you're proprosing is simply a "theme," you don't have to make a ROM to change the boot screen and shut down. That doesn't fall under the definition of a ROM.
Interesting idea, though I haven't played the game in a while and don't remember what animation you're referring to. As the other poster politely mentioned, it wouldn't be a rom, but could probably be a fairly simple metamorph theme.
As for the animations, if they're part of videos from the game, there's a good chance they're stored as bink files somewhere so you could download the bink player and pull frames to use for the phone animations.

i think he meant theme... you should not be so condescending - especially as a sr. member.
ask clarifying questions rather than be snippy with a "definition"

You shouldn't assume anything based on a person's amount of post counts. The number of post counts doesn't change how a person thinks. I don't need to CLARIFY questions because I'm stating it since it is pretty obvious that it isn't a ROM.
@ajftl: You're just upset because I criticized on your thread about Angry Birds.

No. We need to be as condescending as possible to people that don't understand the difference between a 'rom' and a theme' and scare them out of the Developer's section. This topic does NOT belong here, and their topics don't belong here.

Then why does XDA has a successful forum and you dont?
my only point was that even if it is the wrong section - if someone can help, then be helpful if not, then don't.
we were all new once and if someone hadn't gone beyond the normal flame and redirect then we wouldn't be here contributing or helping.
just saying, we should help first then redirect and not be rude and condescending.
Yes OP this is the wrong section for development - True, OP what you are asking is not considered a rom.
i was a sr member once and before changing my handle and i used to try to help as much as i could regardless of whether the question was in the wrong place.

Thats all I ask
No you do not have to be as condesending as possible. I know the difference between a rom, and a theme. I making a rom, with a whloe new gui. The reason I wanted to make the rom instead of just the theme was to test the vibrants HD graphics. The type of gui I want to make can not just be apllied by a simple visual style change. I love this fourm and I have been here for the last 3 years. This fourm has taught me alot of the knowladge about phones and rom development I know today. Im sorry I dont post much or develop anything frankly, because I just dont have the time. Please dont ever assume that because someone doesnt elaborate what they mean that their "stupid" or dont know what their talking about. Anyway, as for the rom, I have made some progress. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a couple of boot animations I could put in my rom, I was thinking one that would show Ezio behind a target and then leaping in to the air with his hidden blade and stab the person in the neck, then the next screen show the assassins creed logo and ad assassins creed rom. I have already made my gui and used an custom kernal to OC my rom to 1.2 gigaherz. Battery life is still a very big problem. Anyone have any ideas ?
Hey dady says, I love your pictire bro, that sould be googles logo. Lol.
sounds awesome, hope it works out for ya! i wish i could help with boot anims but i dont know how to make them. good luck~

All I gotta say is good luck hacking those .qmg files. They are what hold and run the boot sequence, and they have yet to be cracked which means you can't replace them.
The thread was moved to Q&A.
@all,
Wouldn't it be simpler to just tell the OP that what he wants to do is theme a rom and not make an actual rom, instead of a 2 page bashing?

The OP was told this and he still wants to make a ROM.
OP, its going to be hard to get someone to help you on such a ROM, since most people probably have never played AC or are not big fans. Good luck.
Hi
just wondering if there is anyone out there who is prepared to make me a custom rom the way i like it.
there are so many things for the sgs2 but so many roms are over done with the same colour or they have that nasty overscroll glow
i liked the black theme someone made but his requirments meant i had to have certain things to make it work, things i didnt want
to give you an idea, im a fan of stock look. im also a big fan of black and white themes
so if there is someone willing to give it ago please let me know and i'll donate a few $$
thanks Garth
I don't mean to be rude, but you're clearly a newbie here.
You simply don't ask devs to make custom ROMS according to your personal preferences. You can learn to do it yourself, or use one of the many available and awesome custom ROMS.
It takes much much effort to create and test a custom ROM.
Another point, if you did not create "it" then it does not belong in "Android Development" but in General or Q&A.
Here i made you a rom to your specs
gtda's Custom Rom
MD5: 1431431BAE34F3E3D41AB434
BASED ON KG2
instead of pointing your fingers on him, try to help him or if you can't then stop yelling at some one because you are not special or genius too. You also depend on this forum thats why you are wasting your time here.
mate here is your rom, this is not exactly as you want but its at least closer to your requirements
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15782324&postcount=403
as per other posts that clearly don't belong in the dev forum, the OP gets the video.
we all are new to many things, if we are not able to help then we also should not point out fingers. Simply get respect by giving respect.

wow nice response
i guess being a 30yo man with a 6month old to take care of i dont have the time to sit down and make roms. i have tried nearly every rom and theme and i dont like them. back when i had a sgs1 a guy posted he would make custom roms for ppl, figured someone here mite do the same. if its too much effort, dont make me one, simple
ppl add too much stuff that is useless to me and looks unatractive and makes the ui look like a preschool child drew it
things ppl add that i dislike
overscroll glow
battery percentage (i use fancy widgets, it has battery percentage)
changing the wifi and 3g/H to green. i prefer white on all of them
i dislike transparency on menus. makes it hard to read the menu
i like having customisable ext menu
i dont like making all the menu items one colour, stock colours are fine
id like a aosp style lock menu, or at least change the message colour from orange to blue
crt off would be nice as long as its working properly
so as you can see there is no other rom out there like that
i offered to pay so its not like im being a cheap skate expecting someone to stop everything they are doing just for me
video was funny, so im not offended if thats what u were trying to accomplish

The posts are due to you not reading the rules i guess rather than the fact you have asked for a personal rom build .
Personally i dont care what or where you post as forum gone to hell in a bucket as regards rules .

I don't think your wishes are irrelevant but they may be a little unrealistic - poll 100 people in here and they'd all want something slightly different from their ROM. So building a ROM may be unrealistic given the other demands on your time, but learning a bit of theming - which is what most of your wishlist seems to be about - isn't and may be your way forward. You may even get a more positive response to your enquiry on the Themes forum.
You are getting the negative vibes because your post is clearly posted in the wrong place - this is not the place for questions of this type, as clearly stated in several places.
ok so i wrote it in the wrong section
move it then, im not a mod so i cant.
whats wrong with the world today, i asked a question and got smashed for it, instead of baggin the **** outta me, point me in the right direction
ive looked at every theme here for sgs2, none interest me. and i wont flash a rom with things i wont be happy with.
i honestly have hardly any time to learn how to make them, i work, i take care of baby, i sleep (very little) i work again. i get a few hours every now and then to mess with my phone, so far its just been flashing the latest leaked roms
if i had more time i wouldnt be putting this request out there, id try make one myself
like i said, u dont wanna make it, then dont
u wanna help ppl, then move my thread to the right section
i apologise i put it in the wrong section im a n00b after all

You have the time to try each roms but don't have the time to try to learn by yourself.
You are ready to pay for it,it is your choice but please, just be clear.
You don't want to make your customROM ( others occupations)
You wan't to pay someone to do the job for you . the end

Find a ROM you like that's the closest to what you want. Then you could theme it using Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen. Hope that helps.

If you don't have then use the ROMs here or don't buy a phone your not happy with. Nobody will want to make a ROM for you. No time that is your problem. I am a noob too but I read the rules.
I guess you can wait for the public rom kitchen once available ( you proly dont need to wait much longer )
After that you should be able to learn just a few things about themeing or some1 will probably make a black white theme.
I understand that it may be easy for some1 experienced to make exactly the rom you want but i don't believe some1 will bother , having to deal with updates/bugs e.t.c.
Rom kitchen and a few themeing abilities is the most realistic approach as i see it
p.s. sorry for my miss-spelling , too many beers
Well someone out there was kind enough to make me one and is helping with updates. I had a look at what was involved in making one and I just don't understand everything. I look forward to the kitchen release coz ive used it with my sgs and it was great. Thanks to the ppl who actually helped

Hey guys! I don't want anyone to see this as fishing for compliments or thanks, so let's kill that idea first.
I was recently nominated and accepted as a Recognized Contributor here on xda, so I just wanted to kinda give you guys a formal and friendly introduction.
Username: RegnierD -> IRL: Todd
I've been an Android geek for nearly two years now, and have absorbed a lot of information in that time. While I may not be able to build my own rom or submit fixes on github, I do retain information very well and try to help out everywhere I can. I just want everyone to know that if you guys ever need help with something or just need a little guidance, feel free to ask me and I'll do the best I can to respond in a timely manner. I know the big world of root and custom roms can be a bit daunting at first, but that's why we help our newer members learn rather than gripe at them.
You guys can either post questions here or PM me, but I do ask that you try and figure it out on your own first. You'll learn a lot more that way. I promise, that's how I learned everything I know.
Devs, this goes for you too. If you need a last minute tester for something, I'm almost always available to help. I'm willing to switch roms on a dime and flash/push files to the phone. I'll be putting my GTalk ID on my profile soon, so you guys can reach me if need be.
I hope I can be as useful as possible to you guys! Happy rooting to you!

thanks brO!! its nice to see there still are some decent people who are here to help.. i respect that..
same here...good to see some more help for sure. But anyways ive just got one question here for ya and you may or may not be able to help me. ive tried to ask this in the forums and haven't got an answer so here it goes.
My phone gets warm up around the camera area almost immediately it seams like. it starts when i start using data such as scrolling around Facebook or downloading an app, etc...and was just wondering if that's normal or should i get a replacement? $590 bucks is a lot for a phone and i just want it right ya know.
Now the only reason i ask this is cuz my gnex does the same thing but it gets really hot after about 15 to 20 mins of using data.
thanks a lot for all your hard work and support for dummies like me that dont know anything lol...
This is my first time here. I love the way Android can be customized n played with. I keep reading tech stuff daily. After every hour I guess. Tech is something I indulge my most of the time in. I love, worship it. It is the most important part of my life that I Cnt live without.
But i dont have an understanding about Rooting, Flashing, ROM n other stuff associated with it. When I hear or read these terms I feel missing some thing important. I wanna root my GSIII someday when it stops getting update or taking centuries to come. Since this is my first time here please help me in learning all this. If possible put down some links for beginner's level which is easy to understand.
Thanks XDA.

You sound like me when I first started. Rooting is being able to run programs and commands with root/ administrative rights. Its like logging in as a user who has God mode on. You are not restricted at all from anything have have full command over everything.
A ROM is a version of the operating system. Like cyanogen mod, PAC man ROM, omni ROM. They take the android source code and heavily modify and tweek it add add special features .
A kernel is , kinda hard for me to explain. Its kinda the heart of the operating system it . hope that helps a bit.

Just now I have opened and saw the FAQ and Stickies and the general thread. I'm overwhelmed now after seeing so much coming on to me. Wow tomorrow is my first exam of my 3rd Sem of MBA and I'm more interested in learning this stuff. May be I'm the one of the techies. As of now tech-lover would be wise to call myself. I'm a very impatient kind of person and I never seen anybody more impatient and desperate than me. If I find out something I dig it to the core and try to learn everything about it no time. I wanna be an active member of XDA. Just like I'm seeking bad help today, I wanna help others tomorrow. I hope I will be able to do that soon in the future. Anyways, if there's any other way you can help with like YouTube videos etc. in addition to FAQs and Stickies. I would appreciate that.
Thanks XDA.

Its all in the stickied faqs and guides on this developers forum .
Its your choice to read them or not .
Impatient persons usually brick their phone as they are not bothered to read the faqs and guides .
First port of call is general > sticky roll-up thread > understanding the basics before rooting.
You need to absorb this before starting other articles or videos

How did the exam go? Just a word of advice - it can be very easy to get distracted with all this stuff but you'll always regret prioritising it over more important things like exams!
I got involved with flashing new ROMs from a practical point of view years ago when I had my HTC HD2 and I loved it! The speed, the tweaks and the customisation were fantastic. I'm only now learning about the theory of it all.
Two words of advice:
Always back up everything! - do nandroid backups (once you learn what that is) and save all your important files/pictures/music/videos onto your desktop too
Leave plenty of time when you start rooting and flashing - initially I was spending 4-8 hours figuring how to root and flash my first ROMs
Always search for answers on the threads before posting - it will be much quicker, you'll learn more, and you won't annoy other people
Enjoy and I hope you have as great an experience on XDA as I have done!!

The exam went good today,57/70. I just love this stuff. Everyday I keep reading about the tech stuff. I know I won't regret. How can anyone regret doing something he loves. I bought my first Android handset, S3 in this May and prior to that I had no experience of Android. I know I won't Root my phone before my phones warranty actually expires but I'm very keen to learn this stuff. I mean this is one area I know nothing about it. I Love forming. I use many forums n following many communities on g+, XDA is one of them. I will love to participate here one day like you all do. I know this feeling. When a newbie joins ha forum n his questions are too lame to ask for, well my wasn't lame. If I'm a beginner I need support. After all what we are here for? Anyways, I hope I Dnt have to annoy people here much and learn as much as I can do it on my own. And
Thanks for posting.
