will the new sandbox ui and api system be based off of themes written in xml with provided images or by installable apk's ?

i wish it was like throttle launcher was for windows mobile. in that the main program had xml commands it recognized and you could just write code with the recognizable commands and include the images and the main program interpreted and renedered it as.a displayable ui.

this was the genius that was throttle launcher... i hope this is similar to the direction you guys are going

As I said guys a couple of posts ago I already managed to get the funds to make this project happen. Donations are welcomed but not needed to sustain it.

And very soon I will have our site up and beta testing enrollment can start :) . As for the beta testing itself there will be too things to test, the UI creator and the apps themselves. There will be a contest with several prizes for the best testers and best UI makers. The prizes will include lifetime ads free, T-shirts, stickers and so on.

As far as functionality goes, code will be heavy optimized. The lowest spec device we are testing on is a HTC wildfire. But as the UI, that depends on how you build it. I will offer a short doc with some advice. If you will follow some basic guidelines you will be able to build a fast and good UI.

What do you think about a search app? It would be cool to type a keyword and it shows you everything which can be important for you (Wiki, Maps, Translation, YouTube, Wolfram Alpha, Amazon, and other search engines). Similar to the Quick look app from HTC Sense.

Looks very interesting.

Hate to say it, but if it becomes too much of a hit then Microsoft could most likely sue for patent infringement. That being said, keep it coming!! WP7 is rad, and to have the Android possibilities with a WP7 UI would be killer.
[Android Software Development] :
Well you can make a wp7 UI with the UI builder but for obvious reasons I won't publish it on my site or on my market account. You can still use yours if you want. So in case of copyright stuff I and the project won't be in trouble. That's why I switched from w8 UI in the first place.

Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G
[Android Software Development] Felimenta97:
You don't need to make it before the beta or the first release. I mean, just keep the sugestion somewhere, and after the first release, you can make it slowly.

Another thing: Make a "store" (in app or site (maybe a mobile version too)) so people can donwload other layouts and themes from other people too, if uploaded or allowed or something like that.
[Android Software Development] :
The store is a good idea but you do realise that no themes like wp or iPhone.

Well we are just building core functionality for now. I won't publish any more pics and videos because it will fall into concept category. What's the purpose of spending time making imaginary concept videos/pics and waste the time doing so. And even if we did it that content will be preliminary and subject to change. As time progresses things will change and we will have to make more concept videos/pics and waste even more time. Isn't it better to spend that time working on the apps themselves? :)

Of course you are right ;-)

What I am curious about are not the concepts that can be created with the engine, but the engine itself: I mean HOW we will work with it!

But don't worry, I can wait :)
[Android Software Development] :
Think of it like a combination of 3dmax and dreamweaver. So you will have a object builder with lots of options and effects and a layout builder where you can position objects and assign functions. Now it sounds pretty complex for a normal user and to some extent it is. What I want to say is that the more you learn and play with it the more cool and original things you can create.

Hey can you add the ability to add the calendar as an attachment in an email? Like an excel document... My current company has people who need access to a copy of my schedule but refuse to attempt a shared calendar system...

This will allow me to get a call and make notes during the call then post it as an event on the calendar... I could then send the event to my boss with call duration etc, and the notes so it can be posted to our crappy CRM using copy/paste... I could also use my calendar to recall "I talked to Jim Dec 19th 3pm about xxxx".

Why the phone and calendar are not linked like this I cannot understand... I don't know if you will need to code in compatibility with 3rd party dialers... But I use go dialer for skinning purposes... I so skinning on the dialer app would be nice too.

Dear Vlad,

sory, but I'm a little bit confused...

In post 3 you are talking about $2.50, in the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21408342 you have attached a zip-file with contacts V1.7, email V2.9, launcher V2.0 and phone V2.0 for free. Visiting http://www.wp7android.com/ I will find a WP7All donate version for $10.99.

Well, I'd like to get an add free version for all apps (apps in development too) ;). What do I have to do to get this apps and comming updates too?

Thank you for a clearing word and sorry if I am to dumb to understand what you probably have explained allready.

Best Regards
[Android Software Development] :
The apps from the WP7Android project are for free. The 10.99$ donation is just to support development of this new project.

As for the apps from the current project they will be available for free but with ads. The 2.50$ price is just for yearly ads free. Again price could change. You can't do nothing for now to get them. They are in development now and they have no UI yet. But don't worry once we launch it will be on the market for you to download.

[Android Software Development] EwaldB:
Thank you.

Hopefully in an addfree version
[Android Software Development] :
I'm aiming at over 10.000.000 active users so ads version is certainly needed.

Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G

Edit: I was thinking. This is supposed to be maintained from money from ads. What about people who run adblock apps? Impose limits or put frequent popup messages...
[Android Software Development] Felimenta97:
I can stop using it as long it don't annoy (some apps request some time before opening because it's the free version, others put the ads on most bad places).

But I will keep it until I convince my mom to let me uses her PayPal account to donate (I can do this, instead of buy the ad free donate version on Market, right?)

If I do this way, you should try to implement a auto update feature.

Another thing, make a auto backup-able the setting and the layout for everything, save it to a file and, when there is connection (data, for who use it, and Wifi) and upload the file for some server (maybe with the Share apps, using Email, and cloud apps).

And there is going to request root permission to who have it? I don't know by now what you could do with it, but this is a option.
[Android Software Development] :
Even if you disable it it doesn't answer the question. How about the rest of the users? I'm looking at ways to make them work even with adblock installed. But they will work only in my app. Don't want to spam anyone. Where btw you don't find ads annoying?

So guys. I've just purchased an expensive 285$ vBulletin publisher suite for the website. It is time to start working on the site as well. So there will be options to have blogs,news and many more. The site will be an extension of the android app where you can view your mail,news, stocks or whatever.

[Android Software Development] Felimenta97:
Make like Smart Keyboard Free (or some other keyboard app, free version), after some it, it opens a popuop eachtime you open the keyboard, but it is easily removable pressing back button. Dunno if it's bad developed or something else. And some ads aren't intrusive. Some of them open 839256749 of screens and freezes my phone (low end phone make that...) Some of them just have ads on setting screen, and you need two touches to open the browser or whatever it will open. The majority opens just with the simplest of touches.

Whow... Good news about site. Create a base layout, maybe with a little forum if possible, to share themes, layouts and such. (don't know if possible in vBulletin, but only allow download if you have a account. If I happens the way it will happen, I may share my creations for free on them, a link to donate) and for other places (such as here or Android Market) only allow paying a little. (How much you would pay for a theme?)

Make something like "Theme of the Week", tips. And time to time, you change the theme of the site. ICS theme, Metro UI theme (like this http://blog.gsmarena.com/this-is-what-windows-8-on-desktop-should-have-looked-like/ )and allow member to send themes too.

I am asking too much? Man, I wish I had knowledge to help you with this.
[Android Software Development] :
About the ads. Since its a pain in the ass to try to keep ads running for people who use adfree apps, I've decided the following.

- traffic limit for apps.

- black space for ad location

So if you disable ads you get a lite version. That should do it. You could always try to whitelist the SkyD app. But don't know if its possible.

There will be forum,polls and whatever. Look at publishing suite for available features.

Edit: I think that the site design from 3rd pic on that website looks nice. Maybe that shall be the official theme

[Android Software Development] EwaldB:
