[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mohnishgs:
eagerly waiting.... :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
All The Best... :) Waiting for this one... :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
All the best dude! :D

btw, you building cm7 from source or just your apps over marcellusbe's rom?

IMO building from source would be better (if you aren't doing so already), as you'll be able to customize a lot of things.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ak700:
All the best for the ROM. Sounds really great.

BTW Can you integrate Xda in the social hub thingy??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I was indeed planning to build from source. However, for just testing my apps, I use Marcellusbe's cm7.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
This is indeed a nice idea, shall loo into it!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Eagerly awaiting :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] josip-k:
dympy please upload,i cant wait to try this one...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
I think it already has support for Google Reader out of the box with RSS support - just create a Feed Bundle of some or all of your Google Reader feeds and copy the OPML link into the Social Hub (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-create-a-rss-feed-bundle-on-google-reader/ shows you how to create a Feed Bundle)

Of course, if you mean native integration, that is completely different (ie log into Google Reader via the app). Dympy would have to build something with the Google Reader API.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Shall look into it.

Also, testers wanted for the non-integrated version of the Social HuB soon, PM me if interested.

Before this test is rolled out, I want to finish the YouTube part, and add the customization.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I'm kinda stuck with a lot of things..

I'm going back to the drawing table and come back with some new stuff, probably packed in a video(Paper Prototype).

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] aropop:
What you've got already does look awesome, i would say to keep the social part and launcher!

Good luck
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yeah, the launcher stays in it's original concept, but the UI of the Social HuB will be different (mainly the main screen, but I already thought of a way to do it).

I'm also going to take a look at how the whole framework works, so the SystemUI.apk, the Framework.apk and the .jars, so I can modify the whole thing to my likes.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
You guys deserve a little update (:

I'm currently reworking some of the apps to add more compatibility.

It should now also work on ICS, so the switch towards ICS would be more easy if the time is right.

I also reworked the main Social Hub UI, screens follow fast, along with some concept "art", though I wouldn't call it art..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Squashed a dirty bug in the Social HuB (Yes, current Main Focus is the Social HuB and the music app, just don't really feel like working on the framework or launcher) and finished some options in the settings.

Going to add newer version of preferences screen, back buttons in the action bar, other buttons in the action bar, some fixes in the Weather code/UI, re-implement the new main UI(IDE deleted my changes after update of some android plugins), start of the YouTube part and maybe a part of the mail section (it's going to be based on the email app from CyanogenMod with UI tweaks (going to try and achieve a split screen effect in landscape mode!) and some removed settings).

Just a quick question, do you guys want pics from the newer music UI (the UI is still a WiP)? And how many of you are interested in me uploading some sources to GitHub so you guys can follow the process?

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
I would definitly like the pics, would help me to help you. If you post percentages of everything you plan to do to github would be cool, but i cant understand your codes so i must give white vote to that one
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bscraze:
Definitely some screens :D

Cheers:)

Good progress so far.+1 for screenshots

I read somewhere that miui released their sources.Maybe you could take a look at it for the music app?

Edit: The sources are here

https://github.com/MiCode/

They haven't released the code for the music app till now though.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Okay, it's clear to me, I'll start uploading to github this afternoon, along with adding ToDo lists to the wiki pages and I'll try to post issues and such :P

I still have to mess around with certain parts of the Social HuB, so everyone who wanted to try it, just wait for a couple of days, Youtube is being hateful again.

But Screens are coming up (;

Next post of mine in this thread will be a status update (once again) and some screens.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
What about linguage you'll integrate in apps

I'm french :D and i know that ther is a lot of different nationalities in this forum :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
you mean translations for apps?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
Yes :)

I don't have a lot of problems with english but prefer a french translated ROM and Apps ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
Cyanogenmod has all translations for it's UI, given that Dympy didn't sacrifice them :p I really like the Persian translation, it was really funny :D

but for the apps, I agree, languages would be nice. By the way, I don't know how much French Dympy can talk, judging by his Dutch accent, he speaks Dutch originally (Also he live in Holland xD) But I guess we can contribute to the project by providing translations :D I can most definitely provide Persian translations but I doubt anyone other than me is going to want to use it xD:rolleyes::cool:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
@dympy if you need help in french english or spanish (i'm not very good but i can help) translations PM me i'll try to help ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Hey all, update time!

So first of all, sorry, but still no screenshots, I did something wrong and messed up the source code for the music app..

However, I got the YouTube part working in the Social HuB! Well, more or less.. I'm able to receive the data from YouTube itself, the playing of the video is still.. Not really working..

However, it seems I just used the wrong URL for the MediaPlayer, apparently I need a RSTP or RTSP instead of HTTP? Just have to go through some trial and error for that..

As for the multi-language discussion here:

Ofcourse I won't delete, for me, obsolete languages from the CM7 Sources! I mean, it's just more work for me :P

But I was planning in using Google Docs for the translation part of the custom apps and then just implement it into the apps.

Also, I will pause developement for about 3 days, I've got some stuff coming up which will keep me occupied. (Tomorrow night the TechDays NL GeekNight, all kinds of seminars about HTML5 en WIndows Phone/Windows development, Friday some school projects, and Saturday I'm going to try and finish my first paid jig so I can take up another (this one pays me 500 euros and I really need money, I have like 20 euros left or something, and trust me, that's not a lot..).

So yeah, that's the current progress.

Oh, and I'm converting from Windows to Ubuntu for Android Development, it's a bit quicker and compiling Android from Source isn't really do-able in Windows..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
Take your time ;)

However if you need help as i said in my previous post PM me :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] umangsagar:
Take your time young brother, wish you all the best, no need to ignore your studies for this, that anyday is a priority, we will wait a bit longer with no issues at all :)

god bless you always for all your effort.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
Nice Updates!! :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I finally have soem more free time on my hands, so I cna finally write the code which will parse the JSON data from YouTube to the app so I can use it in the Social HuB.

At the current pase, don't expect Facebook or Twitter in the first release, they're the hardest to implement (For Facebook I need to make some kind of Facebook App, and I haven't even looked into Twitter yet, but it seems they have API's).

Email shall be implemented, I'll update the first post with more info about everything which will be available in the first release in a few minutes.

I'm also going to try out something new, more info will follow.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tomsi191:
this is great! keep up the good work!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I suddenly remembered I would upload the sources to github a while back, so here you all go!

So far just the Social Hub (The older version of the launcher is also on my account, go look for it if you're interested :P).

https://github.com/dympy/RA_Social_Hub

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mohnishgs:
Great work man.....eagerly waiting for this rom :-)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, after a busy week of school and another App I make (A man got to need some money), I finally have a week off and I'm, planning on doing daily updates starting tomorrow!

I also hope to add new Screens every update, but I'll have to see about that (:

I finally found some good sample code to implement Facebook and maybe Twitter, still kinda stuck with YouTube, simply because it hates me (Nah, just kidding, I just haven't found a good way of getting the data I want).

The thing is, since I want to compile from source, I first need to get the sources, and a lot of tutorials warned me it will take some time..

So I guess I'll have to re-watch every single episode of Sherlock to find out what exactly happened in the end (Not going to spoil, don't worry :P)

Well I guess it's back to work then (:

Updates will follow guys, promised!

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Oh, stuff is really going to happen this week :D

PixDev just uploaded the first version of the RA-mod site to dropbox and it simply looks amazing!

Along with that I just made a minor breakthrough with the Social HuB, I got YouTube to work (somewhat).

In my original plan I'm writing my own Video Player thingy, but that would require to much work to get done in the coming week (I've set myself a deadline for the Pre-Alpha).

So now it's directly being streamed to an installed Video Player, which means it can also be opened in the Official YouTube App if you have it installed.

This works and I'll keep it this way for the first Pre-Alpha.

Right now finishing another app, when that is done I'll start on the full integration of YouTube.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
Thanks for the kind words - I've finished uploading the missing files now! :-)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
And so the saga begins.. Nah, JK :P

So starting today I'll focus on some of the main components of RA-mod.

I got YouTube to work in the default video player, which I think is a pretty neat fix for the moment.

Of course, one day I'll write my own player for the program, just to make sure there are no dependencies to other apps at all.

Now I need to write some code for retrieving everything I need from the YouTube API.

I'm currently re-setting up my Ubuntu, because the other install got corrupted or something? Got weird error messages while booting and ended up in a boot-loop.

After that I'll pull the sources for CM7, re-write the Launcher (Going to make the default ADW Launcher from CM7 my base, it's open-source, so it should be ok) and redo the framework.

Then new screenshots will appear probably on the new site, depends on the current state of the site.

Now back to developing/setting up!

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
Good luck bro!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Thanks, and once again many thanks for redoing the BootAnimation, still using and enjoying it every boot up (:

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
Lol.. Anytime.. I'm using it on ICS now :p, but gonna move back to CM7 for a while.. More stable for me as of now.. :) Gonna miss all the eye candy
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
Is there any link to the Ra-Mod website?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
PixDev is still debugging, when he's done he'll PM me and then I'll post the links here (:

Right now messing with Twitter, had enough of YouTube. As it seems, getting an App Id is pretty simple, and there are quite some API's out there I can use to simplify things.

Also, pulling sources for CM now :D

Though I got some errors saying: cannot fetch cyanogenmod blah blah blah

But as it seems, a simple repo sync will do the trick :P

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Use http all the time

Go to your cm folder, open .repo/manifests, edit default.XML to use http for fetching (fetch = blah blah )

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Hello all,

Just realized I haven't given you guys an update today.

Well probably because not that much has happened..

My Laptop was mostly occupied with getting the CM sources, and it was successful!

So this means I can start building from source as soon as I get the stuff done I want to get done :P

I still have 5 days of holiday left, but I reserved 2 of those days for school stuff, so I have to get stuff done the next few days!

This means 2 things:

1. I won't be getting as much sleep as I would like, but sleep is overrated and I'll probably get it back somehow.

2. My IDE should actually work.. This is however not the current situation as Eclipse decides to randomly corrupt projects, which is kinda bad since it already destroyed a little test project of mine..

Right now I'm installing my old trusted IDE, NetBeans, with Android Plugins, hoping this will work.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Today I was/am messing around with the Twitter Client.

Still having some trouble with the Twitter API (Especially the CallBack), but I'll get there.

When I have finished that and Facebook I'll post some screenshots.

Also, new Music/Framework Screenshots coming soon ;D

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] alen1901:
Looking farward to see screens of framework. :) 1 queation. What rom look style it will be when finished? Ics, ginger or your own?

Sent from my GT-I5800
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
GingerBread (Since that's the base) some elements integrated in my custom Apps from ICS (Because it's awesome) and also my own touch (Which makes it personal) :P

Also, got the Tweeting part working, I tested it on an App I have to make for a local music theater, check here and in the part of how it was sent (Normally TweetDeck, web, mobile, whatever, in my app it says "P3 Purmerend" (Name of the music theater)) .

Now I can safely implement it in the Social HuB (:

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] josip-k:
Dympy,when we will get the rom?I'm dying to try it :) will you make an update.zip?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
Seen as Dympy is giving you regular updates on how the ROM is going, I think I should give you updates on how the site is going as well :-)

Basically, it was nearly finished until I looked at it on a Galaxy 3 - it renders as a complete and utter mess. I'm rebuilding it to auto-detect your web-browser and redirect you to the appropriate sub-domain (not that hard but means I have to code another website for mobile visitors :eek:). The pages are, as part of this, transitioning from static to dynamic, as the content is either going to be loaded via AJAX (if I have enough time) or just via a simple <?php include ?>.

Apart from that, it's going really well (with the exception of a slight hosting scare today when I logged into the FTP server and was faced with a wiped filesystem... fixed now though!)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I was hoping I could release it at the end of my holiday, but that would mean I only have 4 days left.

Keeping in mind I also have 3 running school projects, I don't know if I'll make it in time..

Now I also want it to be as less buggy as possible, not going the Google way and release 4 other updates after release (ICS :P).

So I'll do my best to release it ASAP (:

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] josip-k:
Thanks for the quick answer bro :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I almost forgot to post an update today!

Today I was messing around with the Facebook sdk for another (now finished) app I had to make, and I successfully posted something on my wall.

This basically means I have all the code for the Social HuB, so I'll try and implement a lot of this tomorrow, still have to think about the UI though :P

When the Social HuB is done I'll focus on the launcher and then it's mostly done!

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Sorry guys, no updates today, or tomorrow, simply because I just found out I have to make a complete javascript framework from scratch for a school project.

This is due by next Monday, so that means I just have about a day and a half left..

When it's done I'll try to finish RA-mod ASAP!

I'll also make a new video in a study break, screenshots don't seem to work (getting a null error at saving), so then I'll just have to make a video I guess :P

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ak700:
Whoa. In total how much has been completed at this point?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I have the sources to build from source, the Social HuB is mostly done, the Music Player is done, but gives FC's now, have too look into that, Framework has some minor graphic bugs, Launcher is still at the same state as when I decided to work on the Social HuB, Settings aren't touched yet.

So I think about 70-75% is done.

I don't know the current state of the site, PixDev knows better :P

Dympy.

hey dympy

i hope you remember me i am planning t develop an app for my university which will fetch results from my university website can you please give me code of twitter app which simply fetches data from twitter website?;)

If you can just wait a week I can easily help you.

Because the code will be Opensourced on GitHub by then :P(Besides the Twitter App ID's, those are mine and mine alone :P)

Looks very nice.

Hey guys,

while I was working on the javascript framework for a school project I found out the current Icons I use for the weather part of the app aren't free-to-use after all..

Nearly everything is working! The only exception (as far as I know ;)) is mobile redirection, which I am pulling my hair out over. It doesn't work using JS, and when I use .htaccess rewrite rules navigation on mobile simply stops working... :confused: Will tinker some more and see if I can get it to work.
