Hoping this is the right section?
I'm wanting to develop my own app that accesses the Galaxy's Dual Camera abilities. I'm aware that Samsung has disabled third parties from accessing it and hoping that someone can point me in the right direction of some libraries or information on how i may achieve this.
Edit**
Does anyone know if it's possible to attach the Samsung Dual Camera APK which is a plugin to an activity to add other functionality around it? Putting together a proof of concept app.
I believe some people have done this but i'm unable to find any helpful information or links.
I hope i've provided enough information but please let me know if anyone needs more info on what i'm trying to achieve?
Appreciated in advance. Cheers.

This may be a really stupid question, but is it possible to create a tab for practically anything? I know they have updated the Weather Tab in the Touch HD to pull more weather data, and there is also the stock tab where you can get stock info right from the tab. My question is if these tabs can be formatted to show anything from an internet source or feed. For example sports scores or news. I've seen this in Bell's UI for the TP, but is it possible to do if you can find the right source? I don't know how to program and wouldn't be able to do this, I was just throwing it out there as a question to see if its possible. Thanks!
does anyone have any ideas on this?
I'm wondering the same thing. Some tabs on TF3D like the People and Mail tab are pretty far from useful. It would be great if these could be edited or replaced.
It's entirely possible. I've stumbled onto docs and dev tools for writing your own tabbed whatever on this site. It wasn't of interest to me so I don't know where they are offhand but a little searching should bring them up eventually. Maybe check the wiki, also.
I'm really intersted in this so I can make some useful tabs. I'm so sick of the music tab!
I've been keeping an eye out but haven't seen anything useful in the way of docs or info yet. If anyone finds some info could they please post links here?
Please!

Yes, I am interested in developing new tabs, too. Seems to me that developing a visual voicemail tab that would work with the youmail.com service just makes a lot of sense to have on a phone.
I asked that question before, and got the following links in response.

Unfortunately, I've got a ton of VB6 experience that does no good here. I'm willing to write some good psuedo code, if there is anyone with LUA experience that can help me with the tab.
Whoa guys and girls you have no idea what you are asking. This is not something you do by editing a tab a little bit. Creating new tabs will requires you to be able to create mode9 files from scratch and have some real experience with lua coding. Only one who's done that on this forum is D-man (calender tab). I've been working with xbox on the rhodium manila editing mode9 and lua files I can do, but creating them from scratch is very hard and will consume a lot (like a whole lot) of time. For someone with experience it will be hard, and I'm ready to team up with someone who thinks he can but it's probably a project of weeks or maybe months. But hey I might be wrong here , 12
I had no idea where to look for this so I figured I would start here.
I would like to find a list of the most commonly used Android camera package and class names. If such a left exists could someone please tell me where to find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks, Rich
I'm trying to work with a custom build of Android based on KitKat to incorporate a stylus, copying some of the functionality (though not code) from Samsung which sells Android-with-stylus builds for e.g. the Note 3. I'm not including details of the specific device because right now I am working on a custom dev device and my aim is to write code which is generic enough to be usable from any Android (based on KitKat). The build (written by others) already incorporates drivers and sends stylus events correctly as motion events etc. Programming at the app level I can receive onHover, ontouch, onClick etc
The specific functionality I am trying to achieve is to pick up a stylus-button-click while hovering. It's perfectly possible to do this in any app, using an onGenericMotion Listener.
However, I want to make my "stylus-action" have system-wide effect - so that anywhere (in any other app, or in the launcher or whatever) I will pick up the event (prior to any other app) and bring up my custom menu. (just like AirCommand in Samsung Note 3) I guess in my custom Android this would then make that particular action somewhat protected or unusable for other users, but I'm ok with that.
In older Android (prior to ICS) you could try something by putting up a System Overlay (i.e in regular app code, without hacking the ROM at all), but this is no longer possible.
This is not an attempt to tapjack or whatever, I understand why this functionality has been removed from the domain of the regular programmer, and I don't want to regress my ROM back to pre-ICS behaviour by allowing the System Overlay hack. Now I am programming the system (if my change is good enough I'd like to submit it back to AOSP) so I would like to know the best method to address this. Since Samsung have already done this, it must be legal (using legal in the terms of "Android will allow it"), and I want to do it right.
Is it possible to write something similar to the System Overlay when you are running from a system service? Or is there a good choke-point to capture events before they are broadcast to the current running apps?
I was looking at (sorry, not allowed to post links) AndroidXRef /frameworks/base/core/java/android/view/View.java specifically in the function dispatchHoverEvent() which looks like a promising place. My naive idea is that I would place code here checking the MotionEvent to see if the button is pressed and if it is, don't call any listeners and instead call my little menu app (or broadcast a custom message, or something anyway). However, I've never written code on the ROM level before (LOTS of experience writing app code) so I don't know if this is a really bad point or a good point to add in code. Should I be putting things at a higher level or a lower one? Will this capture all events or not? Is it all just trial and error?
If this is the wrong place to ask questions like this, please tell me where on XDA I should be asking it. If it's the right place - please answer

The guy above me is a ****. I stumbled across this post looking for something completely unrelated (title interested me). Five words in I knew this was something completely out of my league, but I still read the entire post. If I may offer you some probably useless advice, I would talk to the devs in the note forums. The only problem I could see is that the AOSP guys don't have this function in their roms because it's locked up Samsung code and the guys modding the stock roms leave it alone for the same reason. I could also be completely wrong. Like I said completely out of my league.
Hi
I'm hoping I am posting in the right place.
I have an apk game for my little boy. It has a bug that needs fixing. The company behind it no longer exists.
It's a simple hidden object game and 9 out of 10 levels work, so I would hope comparing them would show what's different about the level that hangs.
Is it possible to employ an apk expert to have a look at the apk to fix the fault so my boy could have the game fixed please?
Please let me know how to go about it thanks.

Just to add to avoid confusion, I am expecting to pay for the services employed.
Also, all the artwork and such is within the apk, the stuck level just hangs as it is supposed to open, so I think it should just be a bit of code line wrong or something as all the components are there, so I dont expect this is a mammoth issue, but I need somebody who knows apk coding to be able to do it please. I have the apk available for emailing.
Please help
PLease, havent had anything yet. Can anyone help, or do you know another place I could go for this type of help please?
Thanks

I am a volunteer fire-fighter in Aus and I am trying to find an app that allows internal communication between my brigade.
I have found an app that would be perfect for what I want except a lot of it doesn't work.
I myself have no idea on how to build apps or how to edit them.
I would like to find someone with the ability to build/modify an app.
I am willing to help with information where I can but am useless when it comes to the coding of such things.
Any help or direction to help is greatly appreciated.
