is a couple of days that i have the g1 i found everything i needed except an instant messaging program

the im that came for default maybe is good but when i try to connect with msn or aim pop up a funny screen that says it cannot read my sim card ? what hell i junt want use internet not send text message.

i tried meebo but often loses the connection and im+ i tried it with wm and i don't like it.

SNES Controller

I have an idea for an app that will turn your G1 in to an SNES/emulator controller using BT/wifi. So we can use our BT/wifi enabled netbooks/pcs to run the games and use the G1 as the controller.

Is the api out for this to be done using BT yet? I can't be the only one that hates to use the keyboard..:confused:

There are apps/activities I'd like to run periodically, like backups, MemoryforLemmings, etc. For some reason I'm not finding anything that will do this except, like, profilers or sometimes internal app scheduling.

seems pretty straightforward to me, but I don't understand Java at all.

Anyone seen anything like this? Anyone want to pubilsh an app like this on the Market?

Trackball reassignment

Remember on WinMo devices where you could reassign the soft keys to open a specific program or do some other action?

What if we could make a program that can do the same to the trackball? Have a long press on the trackball open up a circular menu (somewhat like the Sims...see screenshot if unfamiliar :D). Then maybe have more sub-menus coming from the main 4-8/however many menus we have first displaying from the trackball press.

Hello,

I have an agreement with my mobile phone provider. The Steps are continuously 60 seconds.

I would like to save some money. We could save money if we would know how long we are still talking.

So I would like a program which makes a sound after 50 seconds. 10 seconds before one minute is re-

ached. and then every minute a sound.

I hope you understood my confuse explanation ;).

Site survey app for IT pros?

I see the potential for a site survey application on the G1. Using GPS, wifi and maps to plot out the layout of buildings, map access point locations, ESSIDs/encryption and signal strengths etc. Might even be able to take user input via touchscreen to create rudimentary maps of the internal layout, ie: hallways, offices etc. or use GPS to track location and movement to map the building on a room to room basis. For instance, when entering the lobby, tick "new location", enter a description and then walk from North to South and East To West while tracking to map that room.

I haven't been able to find any references to this kind of application yet via google... has anyone else bumped into something similar?
[G1 Apps and Games] :
GPS doesnt work very well indoors, and its not very accurate anyway, and using mobile networks is even worse.

But i do like your idea of mapping access points, so you could go on 3G and find your nearest wifi point if you needed a fast/free download.

As an adaption to your idea it would be pobbile to 'tag' buildings at the door, say you're standing outside a library, you could tag it with 'library', 'book', 'wifi', the opening hours, then someone searching for a book nearby could see it. it would be very similar to wertago though.
[G1 Apps and Games] ganny:
An idea/request: an app which tells us phone usage costs based on calls, data and SMS, like the equivalent for the iPhone, iiQuota (http://www.southfreo.com/iiquota/Home.html).

It doesn't even need to be as easy as iiQuota where you select a plan, even just the ability to input costs, such as:

SMS cost: 12c

Call cost: Flagfall (12c) + rate/time period (12c/30 sec)

Data usage: 30 of 120MB, after that excess data at cost

If someone could make this, I would pay for it.
[G1 Apps and Games] innerspace:
re: GPS and site survey

My GPS seems to be frighteningly accurate, especially after the cupcake roms came out. Granted GPS doesn't work indoors, hadn't really considered that fully when I posted. I'd imagine there would be other ways to go about tracking distance. Consider this scenario: You arrive at a new client. Start the app and begin to "trace" the outer perimeter of the building by walking around it. Either use GPS and/or the accelerometer to track distance somehow. Once you've traced the perimeter, enter the building and begin to tag rooms. Each room could be mapped using the accelerometer, or you could simply enter rough dimensions and create a map of the floor plan. Once done "tracing" the layout of the interior (including floors if applicable) you could scan for AP's using something similar to Gmon, wifiscan etc. and have the app keep track of ESSIDs, signal strength and location. Once completed the app could sift through the collected data and map out the AP's locations based on the signal strength.

Now I'm no programmer and won't ***** if this never gets made, I'm only just beginning to break into the "Hello World" tutorial, but good site survey apps are hard to find and typically very expensive. Having an app on the G1 that could do this would be extremely convenient. Having a free app on the g1 that did this would be kick-ass. :D

[G1 Apps and Games] DarkFoxDK:
Nice idea. But the problem is that plans can become pretty advanced.

Pilot Logbook

I would love an app that is a logbook for pilots. It could be fairly simple, just a space to input type, tail number, departure and arrival points, primary, secondary, day, night, instrument, combat and nvg time. If there was an option to export the data to a spreadsheet, and a widget for easy data entry that would be awesome too! All of those features are easily worth $20 to me, plus whatever you can sell it for (logten mobile sells their iphone version for $10).
[G1 Apps and Games] ganny:
Yeah, mine's the same, first 120MB free. But surely it wouldn't be too hard to input an included quota, and then rates for once this quota has been passed.

I'm not entirely sure, I have very little (read: none) experience in programming, so I really don't know how hard it could be.

Slider sounds

What I have been hoping for since the day i got my g1 is for open and close noises. I know its sounds kinda dumb but miss it from my older phones pluss with the g1 an app could be made that you could chose the open and cose sound separately. So like if you wanted you could have the codec open and codec close sounds from metal gear solid or the comunicator open sound for open and nothing for close from star trek or something.

I have what I think are a set of very good ideas for apps that I have not seen anywhere on Android or the Iphone, but I have absolutely ZERO knowledge of developing anything at all.

I would pay for a Total Commander or Midnight Commander file manager. Also a keyboard remapper would be a very useful utility - one that included page up/page down.

{rant mode} How do you get away with producing a keyboard with no arrow keys, almost no useable navigation keys (space bar in the web browser excepted)? Why bother if you have to use the trackball with everything? And while I'm not left-handed and could be wrong, I think the keyboard/trackball would be horrible to use if someone was. {/rant mode}

SU Root File Browser

I think they get away with no arrow keys by making it a touch screen device.

SU Root file browser and terminal
[G1 Apps and Games] terryowen:
I just tried SUFBS and the terminal locked up my phone. I did like it better than some file explorers but even so, I have to say I just like uncluttered plain text-based screens better than all the rounded edges and animated effects. The android interface is clunky and non-intuitive to me and I haven't seen a theme that has interested me yet.

I want file folders, properties, plug-ins and two-paned browsing. Sliding a bar to move between file and terminal icons doesn't do that for me.

It's partly a generational thing. I suppose someone could put together a mainframe theme - that might help. :-) But it's also a personal user interface usability issue. I can't read comic books or graphic novels either, the story gets all jumbled - but I can read most mystery novels in a few hours.

There is an aviation weather app that I love because it will switch from a graphic screen to low-res green on black text - and I only vaguely remember how to decode a METAR. :o

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

scale app????

Quick question as I've been wondering about this for quite a while. Is there anyway to make a digital scale app on the g1? One that has the ability to weigh grams and other denominations. I don't know if its possible but I hope it is....
[G1 Apps and Games] OFinch:

[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
I would also like a Pokemon/Zelda/Golden Sun/Breath of Fire/ RPG game like that. I use emulators and its fun.

But I think the games would run better as a solo app and save battery,

I would also like a app that sets the screen to landscape.

And even though the g1 doesn't have enough ram, It'd be an amazing home replacement that:

Disabled the auto allign grid for apps, could resize the apps.

Hide them in the add new folder to hme screen menu

Use the camera as a light sensor

Disable key guard

etc etc etc.

It would be amazinggg!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] terryowen:
Just to expand on my rant regarding page up/page down - is it possible to create an app (like a floating toolbar, more or less) that would sit at the bottom of the screen, but it would be customizable with icons that could pass unavailable characters? Like when I would remap my hardware buttons on my Axim but virtual...

Just a thought and yes, I would pay for a working implementation.
