[Android Software Development] palmtrees:
Is there a website where you post what you want and developers bid to do the work? I've used similar services before for html / php / java and was wondering if it was available for android apps???
[Android Software Development] Sluzpuppet:
sites like guru.com and rentacoder.com you may be able to find people.

Do you mind explaining the project"s" your looking at having done. Might find some people here who will be able to help and assist
[Android Software Development] rufflez2010:
I thought i saw something similar on www.anddev.org
[Android Software Development] palmtrees:
Here is my thought (remember, I'm not a developer):

A super basic app: a single icon (like wifi tether) that opens a predefined url that has users info appended to the end as arguments, see example below:

mydomain,com/page.php?name=mike&id=1234&color=blue

Users info are just text fields with no validation and are setup from the menu button.

This would be a customizable app. A person could modify the app by adding (changing) three files

icon image

url.xml - contains the base url and perhaps the app name

user.xml - contains the users data fields

above example users.xml would add 3 setup fields for name, id, color

by changing the url xml file, you could setup app to piont to any domain

by changing the users.xml, you could setup any number of arguments

by changing icon, app image would match users preference

Ideally it would be best if it could have multiple occurances of the app (maybe just app name being different would work) because I may want it for mydomain.com any you may want to use it for yourdomain.com

Hope this makes sense.

Has anyone been able to get a bluetooth keyboard to work with the incredible?

I know their are some issues with spp.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mahkee:
I would love full b/t support as well. Am I correct in assuming that if new .32 kernels built for 2.2 come out, the issue should resolve itself? The chip supports it, and HTC did release the source, or am I missing something? Maybe the OTA remedies the problem.

[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Dude! Are you kidding me?! Did you bother reading anything? I'm stating that I'm probably coming right back to Android.
[EVO 4G General] carlos64030:
In on page one. LOL!
[EVO 4G General] garekinokami:
I guess he didn't. First post on here and I was wondering if I should hold on to my Evo, lol. I've got a little light shining from under the bottom lip of the phone and while it does annoy me slightly, I'm gonna keep this baby.

I saw an iPhone 4 on my island (St Thomas) and it looked pretty great, but man, I enjoy tinkering, watching video, and music on my Evo. I also love how there are a good bit of free apps to do all sorts of stuff (and the pay ones are pretty darn cheap).

My wish-list is that there are more quality games (not Emulated) built specifically for touch and that getting good battery life didn't require either doing voodoo or running a custom ROM on the Evo. Oh, and that Froyo is pushed out to us -- officially -- soon. As for build quality, well, the device is already on the market so I hope the next one will be more solid at launch.
[EVO 4G General] AdidasNYR:
I hear what your saying. I have the 3gs and I bought the evo as my first android phone. The evo is just so much fun to tinker with. As I came to my thirty days I kept trying to decide what to do. At least android is in the iPhones league where as a year ago it was always iPhone hands down. Its actually nice that we have a tough choice.

I ended up keeping both phones like an idiot LOL. But knowing that I don't have to make a choice of which to keep I'm almost always playing with my evo.

I never really play or tinker with my iPhone. Its jaail broken but that's not even enough to keep thins interesting.

Sure the iPhone is nice software wise but I really want to be on the ground floor when android surpasses that iphone because it will.

Google has more resources than apple and apple is way too controlling.

Some ui improvements and some love from devs and this platform will be amazing.
[EVO 4G General] SiL3nTKiLL:
u just gotta get used to it man! give it some time and ull love it in no time!
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Don't worry about him. Spork is a decent enough guy but he's the king of snarky comments :D

I'm glad you came to your senses. Why people love iCrap so much is completely beyond me.

Two coworkers came in today with their new i4's... I cannot describe how happy I was to be the guy with the EVO :D
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Same here! I had a Hero before my EVO and thought the screen size was fine, except for the portrait keyboard. When I got my EVO I gave the hero to my mom. Now it drives me crazy how little that screen is whenever I have to help her with anything on it.

I don't think that I could ever go back to anything smaller than my EVO.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Haha, that makes 3 of us. I never gave the size of my hero much thought but to use my girlfriends hero now is comical. I can't believe how small the screen is and I never noticed how very recessed the screen is.

I was actually thinking the other day how spoiled I am with this phone already. U don't think phones could get much, if any, bigger practically but I think it would be hard to go back to a smaller device after this.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
AshMa - everyone gets snarky from time to time. It's all done in good jest. Don't take it personally. I get snarky at times too. But it's only worth getting "cyber" angry over it :)

I am lucky enough to have different brands of phones given to me from my various clients. It's always a constant upgrade for me if I want it. The EVO is a better than some tech blog sites give it credit for. If we sat down and nit picked every phone we would find something. It just so happens the EVO got a lot more attention since many people wanted to make it a duel between IPHONE and EVO. The IPHONE suffers from some build quality issues internally as well as a flew blemishes eternally. No one company makes a perfect phone but APPLE has consistently made a better phone hardware wise through each variation. HTC can create a solid design like the Legend in regards to unique and art like. If that phone came with a 4" or a 4.3" screen I would not be on the EVO board. Well maybe :)

What makes Android great is its community. You will find that out more and more over time. The DEV's are not one or two groups who claim to be the best but a motley crew of Devs just wanting to release some cool ROM's.

The phone has been out just over a month and the amount of work the DEV's have put into it so far is nothing short of astonishing. It's only the beginning.

The glue has been upgraded so i think its a good time to get back in. Stay a little longer and enjoy the ride.
[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
Seriously, get rid of the iPhone. Once you use a big boy phone, there is no way that locked down toy will be satisfying. The only thing the iPhone has going for it is aesthetics, and even that is lacking. It's basically a big launcher and that's it.

Anyhow...when I see someone using an iPhone I usually say "wow, people still use those", much like the RAZR.
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
I hear you, I think the evo is actually the best size for me. Even anything slightly larger like the dell streak or droid x is a deal breaker. Hope newer phones follow this form factor.
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
I was on the fence about returning my Evo.

I feel absolutely insulted by HTC, and the thought of them getting even a cent of my money infuriates me. I wanted to vote with my wallet, really I did. The 30fps cap topped the list by a longshot...but there was a list. I will never buy another HTC device again, sadly. Hopefully I'll pick the right device in the future. By 'right device' I mean the device that garners so much community support so furiously and so rapidly. Every generation of every type of electronic device there is 'that device' that gets a rabid cult following. This time around it's the Evo.

...That's a tough call to make, too, since the Android world is full of MANY hard-core followings. We're stuck with these things for a year...two for some. It'll happen.

But after I saw that massive support, the all-star dev community, the absolutely tremendous user/tinkerer community...and HUGE amount of IMMEDIATE action on the part of the developers....and the constant attention they give...

I mean, We've got Amon-Ra, JoeyKrim, Bugless Pete, Toastcfh, Flipz, to name but a few.... We've got all-stars from The Moment, Droid, Hero, etc etc etc....

There was no way I'd take this phone back. No effin' way.

I'm 31 years old...I grew up a nerd...started with phreaking, random hacking, programming, hardware hacking, video games, BBS's, the usual 'nerd stuff' for guys my age....I owned my own computer business....worked at a fortune 500....left the computer business. Computers just became boring. Found a new industry...

...But I really got into this smartphone thing, and I was wondering why. It's cuz this is the new (or soon to be newest) "BIG EFFING THING" in 'information', it's your PC in your pocket--for most uses.

That's exciting. This community is exciting, this phone is a blast.... 4.3" screen, 16:9, 1ghz in my pocket and a huge hacker community around it.

Iphone is a toy. You'll be back.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
Cost the same on a 2 year contract? Ha.

Evo:

$199.99

16 gb memory card - $59.99 at a retail store

Plan: 450 mins (With unlimited calling to cellular customers) unlimited text and data - $69.99 *Also includes 7pm nights and weekends*

Premium data charge - $10

$80 x 24 = 1920 + 200 = 60 = 2180 Total 2 year cost

iPhone:

$199.99 (16gb)

Plan: 450 mins. 39.99

unlimited text 19.99

2 gb data 24.99

85 x 24 = 2040 + 200 = 2240 Total 2 year cost.

So you pay less total for the evo, and get more for your money.

To get similar talk time on AT&T it will, cost you 70 for unlimited calling, + 25 for the 2gb data and 20 for the texting x 24 = 2960 Total 2 year cost :eek:

Almost $800 saved over 2 years AND all the data I want to use? Yes Please.
[EVO 4G General] toenail78:
first off that comment was a huge FAIL!!!

for the others that actually read it.. it was actually a really good read!
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Dude...you gotta be way more concise in your posts...talk about rambiling.

IPhone4 looks so much smaller than 3GS...not so really.
[EVO 4G General] joshuadb20:
I thought about leaving the evo too after the third defective phone, maybe annother android device but NEVER NEVER let me remeat NEVER for a proprietary software using device such as the iphone. Just my $0.02
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Missing the Evo already even though its sitting right here. I like a lot of things about the iPhone but I can feel the walls closing in around me. I want to try and load non app store apps but it doesn't seem like jailbreaking the iPhone 4G is out yet.......This really is starting to feel like the Evo is a car which can drive any way you'd like and the iPhone is a train on tracks.......
[EVO 4G General] notown775:
you forgot unlimited calling cause technically they dont have unlimited mobile to mobile, and the gps with voice aint free either.. LOL but your math is still on.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Hehehe

This made me lawl.

What's with these threads popping up every other day.

What do you expect to accomplish :p

I read the whole thing, and agree about those same points, but the truth is that all of these issues are either fixable or already fixed..
[EVO 4G General] krizno:
I got the epson screen on my evo so the glue and angle part doesn't apply to me ha ha screens great I do hasn't a 1 st generation ipod touch and that was more than enough apple for me can't wait until google launches there pc os I'm sure it will be great sure apple is a big company but overall htc and goggle are doing a great job I love my evo then again I used to have the touch vouge 6900 ha ha android will be here to stay with many more integrations soon to come I'm sure
[EVO 4G General] Harfainx:
I do appreciate the math here as much as the next guy, but I must ask... Do they seriously charge $24.99 a month for 2GB of data? o.O

I use that much data in about 10-12 days (I either hit my 5GB usage, or go over each month. Thank goodness for 4G being unlimited)... No way I would be able to manage on a plan that gimps my data usage that much.
[EVO 4G General] Dacian:
One reason I decided to jump to Sprint from AT&T. I was using an unlocked Cliq and got tired of A. Motorola and B. A(pple)T&T with their sucky Android picks. Note this was before the Aria was announced, but am very happy about the switch.

4.3" vs 3.2"

1GHz vs 600MHz

8GBs vs 2GBs.
[EVO 4G General] :
Bro I have the same light under mine too. If I press down ion the bottom portion of the screen it goes away for awhile. I figured it was the screen separation thing. It is not too noticable though.
[EVO 4G General] :
I am sorry dude, but the posters are right. The iphone is a kids toy now. It really had it's time and it was good. I have too many people that use the phone, not to know it weaknesses and big/small strengths.

DO NOT BECOME AN MG SEIGLER AND DISS EVERYTHING NON IPHONE

This phone beats it in plenty of categories. And so are many upcoming droids.

The Evolution raised the bar and set the standard and the iphone couldn't follow in certain aspects.

It is not our fault we decided to be educated consumers and understand the product we are buying.

You gotta grow up, you can't stay a toys r' us kid forever.

DO NOT BECOME AN IPHONE 4 ROBOT LIKE THE BESTBUY VID.
[EVO 4G General] makoto:
Thanks for your post. Glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. I came from an iPhone, and was a huge iPhone fan. I felt that it really revolutionized the smart phone market. I was practically evangelizing the iPhone.

I had my Evo for a few days and fell in love with it right away. Then the magic of it started to wear off as I've had a few issues with it, such as short battery life, occasional reboots, and missing some apps that the iPhone has.

I was debating on returning the Evo and going back to AT&T... which I will say did have really good 3G speeds here in Orlando.

However, after giving the Evo some more time and playing with my iPhone 3G with iOS 4, I really did start liking the Evo more and more. The freedom that it has, and the extra buttons, along with the bigger screen size were some factors that persuaded me to stay with the Evo. I just felt so restricted on the iPhone, and actually became frustrated with its one button interface. Even the way all the apps feel like they flow together smoothly on the Evo (such as being able to open up another app, or press the back button to return to the previous app) just felt right.

I've also been able to find replacements apps for all the frequently used apps that I'd use on the iPhone (such as an app that I can use to view my surveillance cameras remotely).

I've even picked up several books on Android application development and plan on contributing some apps to the Android Marketplace.

Personally, I feel that the Android user base will grow, and will catch up/surpass Apple's share within the next two years. There is definitely a lot of potential.
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
You’re welcome!

Well, I’ve been using an app called ListPro on the desktop and on windows Mobile for nearly 10 years now. I use it for both business and personal and I can’t do without it. The dev are about to release (sometime this year) an iPhone version and so for now I’ve been stuck having to just access it on my laptop. I also use either Spb Wallet or eWallet and in regards to all 3 mentioned apps, I have not been able to find anything as good on Android. Having those apps on a mobile device and being able to sync to my desktop with a desktop version of the app that has all the same features is very important to my needs.

I love games and always have but my Smartphone is more of a tool than an entertainment device. Regardless, I did install Myst and NOVA on the iPhone last night and I was pretty blown away by that gaming experience with both games. Music on the iPhone right now is the best I’ve seen on a Smartphone, most of all for someone coming from iTunes and an iPod. It was just so simple. I also really liked using iTunes to do one click on about 20 apps, connect my iPhone, walk away and come back 10min later and they were all installed to the iPhone. All nice BUT……..

I really miss Android on the Evo after 2 days now. I can’t stand how limited iOS is. I keep opening apps, looking for more options and menus but in a lot of cases they just aren’t there. It’s as if Apple decided what I need and don’t need and left out what they thought I don’t need. It’s like a cheap DVD player or TV that comes with remotes that have 10 buttons total.

Anyhow, my point is that we are in total agreement as I too see Android as having a bigger future as it is now, it's great. And as it looks down the road with 2.2 and 3.0; things are only going to get much better. iOS is good for some folks with simple needs. But for people that even know what a site like xda is, they want more and Android gives that to us. You guys with Evo's with no screen issues are lucky in my eyes. I want a new Evo but it looks like I'm going to have to wait or jump through hoops again to get a new one around here. For now I'll keep testing the iPhone and hope for a new batch of Evo's to come out and or just maybe the Galaxy S even though I'm liking it less and less the more I read about it.

The Evo seems to be the best overall device to have right now for people like us. Too bad that will probably change by the end of the year but for now the Evo is the best in many ways (Droid X is ugly to me).........
[EVO 4G General] Jim M:
Bye Bye Windows Mobile

I came from several phones running Windows Mobile, and I got the EVO for the screen and my old feller eyes. I've had some net connectivity problems but I really think that's Sprint and their messing with 4g in the Denver area. (Although my work issued crackberry has had no issues).

I love my EVO :D
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
That's another good point about having a larger screen. I had read a research report a while back that talked about the younger generation growing up with bad vision and how they believed reading too much and too often on all the small screens was a contributing factor. The iPhone has the sharper screen but that sharp text is also smaller. I enjoy reading anything on the Evo and HD2, more so than on any other device I've ever tried.......
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Are you kidding me?!?!?!

Yet another reason to stay with Android:

All of you guys who said stay away from the iPhone just might know what you're talking about. I'm sitting here, trying to insert custom ringtones, the same ones I've been using since the days of my Verizon Motorola E815. Okay after few steps I was able to create ringtones but iOS does NOT allow you to use custom tones for anything other than incoming calls. You only get half a dozen stock tones for text messages and this can't be changed until a jailbreak for iPhone 4 comes out. This is just one example of me getting what I deserve for wandering off into Apple land..........

Things like the above have nothing to do with stability and everything to do with Corporate ego fueled control. Why don't the blogs write about all the little details like this when they talk about Apple?!

Come back to me Evo!!!!!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsMA:
Hey Guys

I wasn't sure exactly which subforum to post my question in so hopefully this is the right one.

I am trying to replace the bottom center launcher button. I believe I know what the png file is named that relates to the bottom center launcher button (icon_p_phone_on & icon_p_phone_rest) The only problem is though that when I override the existing png files with my own they do not align properly. I have attached a screen shot to show what I mean. As you can see the center button is not flush with the bottom of the screen.

I also attached the png file that I am using.

I am using Aloysius 2.1.2. His launcher looks like the Helix launcher so single icons centered with a clear/transparent background. The original HTC launcher had black/gray buttons with icons in the center of them so maybe I am overriding the wrong png files I am not 100% sure.

Downloaded opera 10 and now my camera and video won't work.

error: unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device.
[HD2 General] cederrowe:
ok Camera started working but the screens keep freezing. How do I remove the program?
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Start Menu>Settings>System>remove programs ....

btw this is a known issue, search would have found it ...

Also, just an observation, you should really learn about installing/uninstalling apps before you install one ...
[HD2 General] cederrowe:
got it just forgot were the app page was. Removed the opera now back on the hunt for a good browser...lol Thanks
[HD2 General] SecrtAgentMan:
I'd suggest Skyfire, pretty good and wickedly fast IMO.
[HD2 General] spikegotti:
try this one, it works for me with no probs :)

slightly edited
[HD2 General] hashimi87:
This "slighty edited" one works great, THANK YOU!!

The only problem i still have is that if you are in landscape and then leave opera the other screens become landscape, and sense crashes. The only way to undo the landscape orientation is to go back into opera and go into portrait again. Hopefully HTC will come out with a new rom that has an updated browser, 9.7 is pretty pathetic:(
[HD2 General] SH4YD33:
Try this....
[HD2 General] hashimi87:
Aww man, I had to reflash the rom and now opera 10 wont work right anymore. For the life of me i cant figure out what i did differently. Back to 9.7 again. Does anyone know whats causing these memory issues with opera 10?
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Does Opera 9 really suck that bad? Also the version of Explorer on our phone is actually pretty good. It doesn't do pinch zoom, but it does flash... Between Opera and Explorer that came loaded on my phone, I'm more than happy...

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] _Burst_:
Hello all. Here is a little theme from me called Gator Boots.

There is a lot of history behind this theme. Too much, but basically it was my touch up to Sense. Go easy on me, like most things, this is a work in progress. Hope y'all enjoys it.

Thanks to many people so Ima just say thanks XDA and SDX for the valued support and knowledge.

Special thanks to Toast, cuz that is how I got root and I eat it too. Mmmm.

And special thanks to Flipz cuz I'm using his Rom too. :D

*P.S. It does not say flipz on the bottom* ;)

*Do a Nandroid backup just incase!*

This morph should be good to use with any rom with Sense UI.

How to use:

-Install Metamorph (market app)

-Extract theme zip (Use metamorph to open the theme to your sdcard)

-Apply all! (Or you can do different parts if you like)

*Note:

-When applying all, Market will force close. this is normal. just press ok.

-After applying framework-res mod, phone will reboot.

-Initially, pic won't show in preview, Stericson knows of this bug. (Special thanks to him for his amazing tools.)

Well that's about it.

Enjoy! :D

Extra:

If you wish to go back to the stock Sense look after using this morph, you can use Metamorph to flash the following file to return to the stock look.

Nice to see you developing for the EVO. I really liked some of your themes and icons for the Moment
