This question should have been posted in the Android General q&a section.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] Linexus:
Yeah that make sense.

anyway I posted it here so..
[Nexus 7 General] frozenspark:
In my experience as a software developer I usually start with what would be useful to me that isn't exactly available yet. This way I would be motivated to do it. More like putting a user's hat, think of what you need and then putting your dev hat to create it. It's difficult for others to decide for you.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
For my first "real" app, beyond book tutorials, I made a database to store my internship hours and activities. At first it was simple and I had to type in all the fields. Then I expanded it to allow for drop down lists, radio and check box selection and date picker type things. After that I learned how to export my database into both a comma delimited CSV and Excel format. After that I went a step further to allow that information to be uploaded to Dropbox as well as backup the database to Dropbox and the SD card. Lastly, I learned how to let me send the spreadsheets to apps like e-mail and Printershare so I could print straight from the device. Its ugly as hell, but I might clean it up, make it look pretty, and sell it on the Play store if I get time. Currently people in my field have two choices...pen and paper, or a reasonably priced but ultimately pain in the arse online website that charges like $60 a year and we need to track this info for 3-4 years.

So, in other words...as someone else noted...figure out something you need or could use and work on it. If you can do like I did and find something useful for your field, all the better because you could make some money off of it.

One app I would like to see is a decent invoice program that would allow me to store my invoices, backup my database, print invoices to wireless or cloud printers (even using 3rd party stuff like my app does) and have it not cost stupid amounts of money like most of the decent invoicing apps on the market now. I could probably figure it out, but the above app took me over a year of casual programming to figure out...but I work in the medical field...not a developer.
[Nexus 7 General] Linexus:
Thanks I'll come with something upp
[Nexus 7 General] rlreddy:
Try omething easy like using Appcelerator to develop something.
[Nexus 7 General] Linexus:
What is appcelerator?
[Nexus 7 General] alferret:
Google would be your friend!

You know, that search engine thingy that finds things for you!

[Nexus 7 General] Linexus:
Maybe Im stupid but not that much :cyclops:

From what Ive got, it's an app that you can create apps with?

Like Java and Eclipse or something like that?
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
i to have just started playing around I got my first app it has two buttons one says boobies and the other button1, now to make them do something tomm
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Just ignore things like that. There are a lot of rude people on the internet and they love visiting forums.

Personally I used Eclipse. Most development books focus their tutorials on this and its free!
[Nexus 7 General] ThinksAmoral:
I'd buy that for a dollar.

He wasn't rude, sarcastic maybe.

He is just pointing the lack of initiative to find answers that already exist, cause its more easy make the question? ( im not a saint, did it already after a lazy search)
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
So if I say "Wow, you must really be dumb, huh?" Which is also sarcastic, that's OK? It's not rude? I'm just checking because you are, obviously, saying that all things sarcastic are not rude...making you some kind of expert, right? Wait, that's not rude either because its sarcastic! I'm going to love this, because now I can put down or talk down to anyone, as long as I do it sarcastically, and not be considered rude, condescending, or an ass! Awesome!

Listen, rude by any other name is still rude and by the OP's response it is easy to see he was offended. I would be as well. Perhaps you are comfortable being told to use Google every time you ask a question, but some people prefer talking about things. Maybe hearing about stuff directly from those who have experience with it, etc. Oh, and please, before you respond, don't even go down the road of how the OP could have asked this or said something that way or another. That's just semantic bullsh¡t and I have no desire to hear it.
[Nexus 7 General] Linexus:
Please guys, back to the topic.

ExploreMN, you seems to be an expert with this stuff,

Do I need to be very advanced with Java to develop a simple app?

Or it's ok if I'm a begginer?

Sorry if I'm bothering :D
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Nah, not a bother. I don't think you need to be am expert. Hell, I learned what I did while in graduate school (nothing computer related), while working full time and raising a newborn baby. I started with two books...Android Programming for Dummies and Android Development is 24 Hours. Those two books alone gave me the basics I needed to do everything and I would guess if you really sat down and worked it, you could chew through them in a few weeks. I was doing about a chapter every 1-2 weeks and had to reread a lot because I would forget things between reading and practice. At your age it probably wouldn't be the same experience. At 42 I've already started the natural cognitive decline that makes learning new and not familiar material more difficult on top of being incredibly busy. LOL
[Nexus 7 General] Linexus:
Thank you, I'll read this books.

Are you 42?
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Yeah...
[Nexus 7 General] Linexus:
Nice for you(I think), Im 13 O_O
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
I agree with you on that, and as i said: i did it before

But what is your reason to unload that crap on me? Take you frustrations to your bed.

For Op sry if you disagree with my opinion. I dont mean, for any reason disrespect you.

For ExplorerMN your answer dont make you right. If you saw someone doing things wrong help make it right.

Maybe i was rude, but you was a idiot for sure
[Nexus 7 General] jasdinggo:
I suggest you make calculator app. It's a very basic useful application.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Then you wonder why someone would unload on you... Oh well, at least you provide me job security, so thanks for that.
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
Well...

Are you already familiar with databases ?

I think you can start with some kind of basic phone book/agenda

I have no knowledge on this, it just an sugestion
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
I agree with Maz on this. If you are going to focus, work on database things. Most decent programs will need some kind of database unless you fancy yourself a game developer, but I think a more business focus could lead you to more cash.

Again...a good invoice program...I would buy it! LOL That would use a database or three (one customer, one item, one for the actual invoices).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] msosa91:
So I've followed all the steps from QBKing77. I:

1) rooted my phone

2) put FI03 on it

3) put agat on it

4) put both files (the rom itself and the caulkin file)

but every time I install the rom, my phone boots up normally, then goes into Kuban (I think thats how you spell it) recovery. What could be the problem?!

If anyone knows the answer, I would greatly appreciate an answer :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mremale:
Why don't you just root, download clockwork mod from play store, go to a gingerbread rom. Make sure you have a clean download (downloaded through pc or wifi) of the rom you want to use and follow the op instruction which is usually, going into recovery, formatting cache, dalvik, and factory reset then flash desired ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Kuban recovery is what is built into that ROM.

Flash ROM

Then reboot

make sure all is OK.

boot to recovery then install Agat's kernel if you wish.

Both Agat's 5.4 andd rujelus22's kernels are built from source.

Seriously, take some time and read through the forum's for ROMs, Q&A etc. You will find the answers you are looking for and quite possibly save yourself from making an expensive paper weight.

OH and DON"T download clockworkmod from the Play store! [ROM Manager]

If you use it you will likely BRICK your phone!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylesq:
Hi Everyone,

I apologize as this is probably a newbie question but, I`ve just installed CM9 (the latest flash) onto my HP Touchpad (which I just bought).

How do I go about getting apps onto my device? How do I get the google play or market onto my device? or do I simply download apps onto my computer then open them on my device?

I`ve spent some time looking through the forums and youtube but haven`t been able to find an answer.

Thank you for your help
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
On the CM9 nightly thread, there's a link to gapps (Google addons) in the first post. You will need to flash it each time you flash the ROM. Make sure you use the latest ICS one.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
here's the gapps that will work for you on cm9.

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

you can download it right from the browser on your touchpad if you want. then the easiest way to install is to reboot into CWM ClockworkModRecovery and select "install zip from sdcard>select zip from sdcard" then select the gapps zip file to flash it should be named gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip and be in your /sdcard/Download/ folder if you downloaded it from your touchpads browser.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m0j09987:
Which is more stable in term of battery and speed. I just feel that jellybean has more features and ice cream sandwich is more stable. So I'm undecided
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aghasi24:
As of right now I would go with cm9 beta 1 because it is extremely stable compared to the jb roms and it has pretty good battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
Ics of course. There is no source released yet for JB. Read through the threads to see what people are experiencing on the browser you are interested in. It might be that the issues that people have with jelly bean you don't care about or can deal with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m0j09987:
I just want a really good battery rom.... I'm sick of touchwiz. But I'm guessing they have the best battery life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
Supposedly. There is a lot you can do to effect your battery life. I get excellent battery on cm9 beta 1 which is aosp. Who's know how the people who complain about battery life use their phones or what they have synced or if they use proper install instructions. I never had battery issues on the ff18 or fh13 otas either. So I'm not sure how much you can count on people. I did a factory reset and wiped cache after updating on the otas. And I make sure I do exactly as the OP says to do when installing a rom. If you do flash something go through the thread to see how people help with battery life like un syncing stuff you don't use etc. Also give the rom a few days to settle before freaking out and reverting to something else. You can always really tweak with stuff and under clock and what not'
[HD2 General] hardav:
I am running NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.3 which is working great, is there any advantage in upgrading to a later version and if so do I just flash the new ROM from recovery.
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
1. Title with [Q] then your username? Really? :')

2. v1.3? You're a good few months behind there mate, obviously there's going to be a huge advantage to updating. There have been so many fixes and improvements since then, I don't see how you can even use that as your daily ROM tbh.

3. On occasion there have been major updates which require a wipe and fresh install. Check the changelog to see if this is the case for any of the versions after v1.3 I think the required partition size also increased at some point. Since you're so far behind I'd recommend backing up your data with Titanium backup and CWM, fresh installing v2.7 (just wipe in CWM, no Task29 BS) then restoring your data.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zain34:
Hi

My SGS3 was originally on T mobile but then unlocked by the person who I bought the phone from months ago, but I accidentally wiped the whole thing including backups, so I had to use odin to flash a stock rom

I followed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671969

I then rooted my SGS3 successfully using the Samsung Galaxy S3 toolkit

then I flashed the Android Revolution HD 11.0.0 rom

but now although my phone has signal, it asks for a SIM network unlock PIN after boot. I can dismiss this and carry on using the phone but it won't connect to my network (which is three)

I have the Voodoo Galaxy SIII sim unlock app but that says READ ERROR when detecting the lock

also, I can't even make emergency calls because it says 'out of service area'

can I flash a kernel or something like that?

I apologise for my ignorance, I haven't done anything like this for a while....

I'd appreciate any advice

Zain
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Voodoo SIM unlock doesn't work on newer firmware. Flash back to an older firmware and you can unlock it again.

Is there anything like a database for roms, similar, i suppose to the play store? Things like sorting by downloads, ratings, etc.... Doesn't have to be here.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imjohnh:
As the title states, does anyone know of an app that I can launch and load a specific image file without having to navigate to or choose a file every time? Or maybe a script (dunno if you can put a script in a slider shortcut though)

I have my contact info in a QR code and I want to be able to display it from a lockscreen slider shortcut quickly. I want to choose the shortcut and have the QR code display on-screen without further user intervention.

This is the best way I could think to do it, without requiring multiple touches after selecting the unlock shortcut.

Please don't ask me to code it myself, I'm not a dev.

thx in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desiloader:
Hi,i'm a noob and i don't understand this thing about bootloaders. I have successfully flashed to CM9 (9.1.0 captivatemtd), now i feel like updating to [ROM/MOD] 4.1.1~Jellybean~AoCP CP3~The Collective, but it says it needs Gingerbread bootloaders? prior to flashing to cm9 i had the rogers gingerbread update for my captivate. At the moment i have CM9 (9.1.0) with devil kernel, so how do i get a gingerbread bootloader?or do i already have it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
U have the i896 GB Bootloaders now, since u were updated to Rogers GB firmware before. So u should be good to go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desiloader:
but since i changed the kernel and i flashed the cm9 9.1.0 rom (i followed the how to flash any rom including ics tutorial btw), wouldn't have my bootloaders have changed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Not unless u specifically flashed the i897 gb bootloaders in that guide.

And not unless u went and flashed a stock firmware that contains bootloaders.

Bootloaders are not contained in kernels...Or Dev Roms. Just in Stock firmware (unless it states no bootloaders).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desiloader:
i had at one point odin superclicked to stock gingerbread with at&t bootloader and then after with this info

"2.3.3 STOCK! from rogers no changes. DO NOT USE .PIT FILE WITH THIS STOCK! if you need to repartition use 2.2 with pit file then upgrade to 2.3.3 with NO PIT FILE!!!

ALSO, IT CONTAINS BOOTLOADERS!! necessary to upgrade to gingerbread!

this is THE FILE keis used.

The rom below will NOT fix an ATT bootscreen issue, rogers did not change their params.lfs partition so it is not in the rogers keis update. To FIX ATT Bootscreen flash THIS FILE in odin PDA box before or after 2.3.3 stock"

it was a one-click odin again, then from this i went to ics... so am i still ok or should i do something else to make sure?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
U r good to go. U have the i896 GB Bootloaders. U can proceed. :thumbup:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desiloader:
could you just explain how i could get other bootloaders and what the point is in changing bootloaders?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
To run a Gingerbread firmware u need the GB Bootloaders (as opposed to eclair/froyo boots). And gb bootloaders are backwards compatible...u can run froyo or eclair firmware with them. Also once u have them u don't need to worry about flashing any bootloaders again because of the reasons just stated. And as well Roms such as ICS, JB, CM, etc. may require u to have the gb boots as part of their installation requirements.

If u want the i897 GB Bootloaders, see TRusselo's Guide that is a stickied thread in the q & a forum. He has a link in the OP.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstractbeats:
I'm experiencing this strange glitch with at least the left and right buttons of the D-pad. They don't respond at all, then they respond, then they don't again annoyingly, by which time I've crashed or died or whatever.

This is only in FPSE and N64oid, I've not experienced it in an Android game, and it's often at similar points in the level I'm playing, which made me think it was a software issue rather than a hardware fault I'd have to send it in to Sony for.

I first experienced it about 3-4 weeks ago. It seemed to be related to .58 enhanced firmware v1, because it went away after I made a fresh flash of .42. It was fine for all of those three weeks, in which I went back to .62, ran ICS, GBXPlay, NXT 1.3 Light, all on different LuPuS kernels, but now it's started happening again, and is still happening whatever nandroid of any of those I restore.

Anyway, has anyone else had this or got an idea what it might be...? I'll hold off reflashing the firmware and starting all over just in case anyone knows what this is... :confused:

edit: Hmm. It's happening still on DoomLord's Advanced Stock Kernel for GB .42/.58/.62.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstractbeats:
I'm at a total loss now. :crying:

I thought it might be a soft keyboard service interfering with inputs from the D-pad so tried freezing those, no joy... The D-pad freezes up within seconds of playing an actual game on FPSE or N64oid.

Did a complete reflash of 2.3.4 .42 generic firmware with Flashtool, installed FPSE even without rooting or doing anything and the D-pad is still locking up.

The problem is I don't see how sending it in would get it fixed, because it just seems to be a problem with emulators. It works fine on every Android game and would no doubt work fine in the service menu too... they'd just send it back to me.

Gamepad is OK: GTA 3, Blazing Star, Asphalt 7, Super Crate Box.

Gamepad is weird: FPSE, N64oid, Tiger Arcade.
