Hi Everyone -

First off, I apologize if this is the wrong place for this message. If so please feel free to move it, mods :)

I own a Samsung Continuum. My wife is absolutely in love with the ticker. A couple days ago (while flying out for vacation!) she asked me if there were any widgets that function like the ticker, or if I could create one for her.

So I got thinking and I think it might make for a pretty useful widget. However, there are already a lot of "show sms/calendar/etc.." widgets out there, does the world really need another?. Also, there are things that the ticker on the Continuum can do that a widget can't, mainly Gestures.

Knowing all that, I still think an "information ticker" widget would be rather useful. Here's what I'm thinking -

Show events on the home screen (SMS, Email, low battery, etc) in a ticker like display (ie: every X seconds the ticker moves on to next item).

Group "like" items so you don't end up with 100 ticker items, meaning there is one view for SMS that can be navigated (maybe up/down arrows?)

Provide next/back buttons for navigating the different ticker items (since we can't have gestures in widgets)

Have default view which shows just a snap shot of events (how many SMS, etc), much of the view on the Continuum.

Provide a way for others to plug into the ticker and provide their own notification/views

I hide the notification bar on my home screen (LauncherPro). I would love to build the widget in a way that it can *almost* replace the notification bar. Since you can't actually intercept the notifications there is a limit to what can be done.

So that's what I'm thinking. I'm sure there's a bunch of other stuff that I could/should add to it. However I don't want to start building it out if there wouldn't be interest in something like this. And that's why I'm here, would you find a widget like this useful? If so, what would you like to see in it?

Many thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] xaffron:
That's a great idea - I would prefer a NYSE/NASDAQ style ticker to the item-by-item widget you describe. Battery life is a big concern however... I had a similar idea to yours a few months back, but the battery life thing gave me pause.

But what have you got to lose? Code away, have fun and learn something in the process... do it before I outright steal the idea from you!
[Android Apps and Games] sijju:

are great!!! I am particularly, interested in the last one... replacing the notification bar with the ticker... I mean half the time i dont get notification so why not have the ticker instead... thts brilliant!!!

So when are you planning on putting the recommendations to action???? would be a revolutionary :)

cheers,

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Divr:
How's lg in general? How's the customer service? And software support? And how's the hackbility? I'm recommending my friend to get optimus 2x when it came out but I at least to know these things.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Coffei:
It's my first LG and Android phone, but I was very surprised with it. So far I've heard only bad things about LG phones, but this one definitely changed my perspective. It's quick, responsive even on stock ROM (sooo much of a difference between WM and Android). Except the sometimes-annoying SD Card-reboot bug it is hell of a good device.. I hope they will upgrade it to Gingerbread :cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gontadu:
same here!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Honestly, I kinda feel the phone (P500) was rushed. Other than that, everything feels the way it's supposed to be (even better) for a budget phone.

LG in general:

I still can't say much about it, since this is my first Android / LG phone. When I get Gingerbread, maybe I can say some stuff.

Also, you have to note that even if a company has good software support, especially with the firmwares, it's always the flagship phones that get most of the attention. Sometimes the others just...get forgotten.

This is just my opinion from my experience with my older phone :D Promised an update, never got them.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mdkathon:
I picked up an Optimus T in Seattle for $150.00 US used (like new condition) and moving from a MT3G Fender to this was like night and day. I paid the same for the MyTouch and the Optimus has a much better CPU/GPU, build quality, feels nice in the hand, better dimensions (thinner, yet same size screen and larger battery), nice screen for its size, etc.

I've taken the time to root, install custom ROM(JoeMom ROM) and overclock from 600MHz to 724MHz and everything seems fine.

If I had one gripe it would be the plastic that is used on the screen and the 'rubber-ish' non slip coating on the phone. It is much "softer" than the MT3G. My first day I put a "ding" in the non-slip coat near the top and a very fine scratch on the screen. I know there are screen protectors and cases but it was in the first 4 hours that this happened and I am not rough on my gadgets. If you plan on picking up one of these "value" devices I would suggest a case and screen protector at time of purchase.

LG's support site and forum are strait forward. It's easy to find the USB Windows drivers for those who need it. They seem to be ahead on the communication bit saying they're going for Gingerbread on the Optimus line. Most manufacturers are playing the silent treatment on which of their already released devices are going to be upgraded.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xtho:
I once wrote an e-mail to the customer support. One week later I got a reply (cited from memory): "Dear Mr. [correct name], Due to technical problems, we were not able to read your e-mail. Please write again if you have some time to spare." Would you trust an IT company that either can't get its contact forms right or that doesn't want to reply to customer queries?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ferossan:
Very good until now. I do own several LG products and all of them are working very well. At least here, they also have a "help-line telephone service" for some products to help on "how to" do something (washing machine).

The Optimus One is my first LG brand and seems very good. It feels solid and not "cheap". Working very well.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wankhade:
It is an awesome phone.

Reasons:

1) I checked sony experia mini running on 2.1... Total waste of money..

2) rightly bundled specs..

and many more.....

Only missing thing (As per my need)

front facing camera for video calls.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ranjitsmilewithu:
Dude Honestly plz dont go for it instead u can go for any HTC android or nokia c7 coz the reasons are here

1) No flash 10.1 support though it states on phone pack that it has 10.1 flash support so LG is not honest in this the reason is the processor Arm V6 as flash adobe doesnt support ARMv6 processors but LG created a deception

2) I rooted my LG phone and phone went dead within 3weeks so i got a replacement though but after waiting 5 long days and fighting with LG area manager about this

3) everything else is good but not excellent
[Optimus One, P500, V General] k4ce:
LG O1 was my first LG Android fone ... got fed up wid my iphone 2g's pathetic battery and nokia 5800xm's general useability .. The points I am mentioning is wrt to O1 (bought in India):

1. Build quality : Good (better than what I was hoping for)

2. Retail Box and accessories: Sufficient (except for the user manual which was pathetic)

3. Customer Service: Surprisingly prompt (but to be honest, I just had a question if my fone came with insurance as there was something mentioned in the retail package)

4. Overall: Better than what I have hoped for from LG as their mobiles fones have never been upto the mark
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raylgo:
LG is generally ok for the most part. This is my first smartphone and the only problems I had with the O1 are those that i created on my own (trying to apps2sd on a slow memory card and panic-resetting which broke a few features). The LG service center was able to fix my phone after a week. Had to go back there multiple times though.

After installing the void ROM and custom recovery, I haven't had problems since. Battery gets me through most of my day with some gaming and music (I always bring my charger though...)

I'll have to test its bluetooth compatibility with a new headset since my old Nokia BH-104 doesnt work with it (even though they say it can...)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gontadu:
I guess the only we don't know yet is how competent they are with updates and bugs. But build quality is great! And the tweaks to android are minimal. Closest to stock experience I would say
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
just dont post negative as u end up bricking your phone due to some reason

As for me i would rate it 3.5/5 obviously we cant compare it with higher end phones but a phone in that budget is just excellent. NOKIA sucks with symbian.

phone make 4/5

resloution 3.5/5 (at this moment lot to come in future)

tweaking 4.5/5 (huge cappabilities)

official gingerbread support (on its way) whereas mik's rom rock still

good customer support,prompt service

great gaming capabilities (except few game dont run-playing angry birds,nfs shift,pes 2011 ,dark ninza,home run battle 3d-3d gaming supoort is good)

very much customizeble.

ALL IN ALL EXCELLENT IN THE BUDGET CRITERIA
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pachuau86:
P500 is a great phone for the price. I had owned a HTC TyTn II and been using Wm6.5 and Android 2.3 on it.

LG customer care replied the day after i emailed them, and called me the next day. SO i geuss customer support is decent.

I hv used (not owned) HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy Fit and Pop and Ace and Galaxy 3 before, they were all not worth the price. whats the use of a higher resolution camera when the device screen itself is such a low resolution? QVGA on a 3.2" screen is not pretty. :) (except Samsung Galaxy Ace which is same resolution as 01 if im not mistaken) Galaxy 3 with 667 mhz cpu was not able to run angry birds properly. its very smooth on 01 void #echo rom.

Only things im missing in 01 is a LED flash, dedicated camera button and trackball, better camera would have been a plus.

But i dont regret buying it, and i can laugh at my friends 20k+ Nokia phones.

Life's Good
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dreiberg:
It's a good phone if you don't have the SD unmount bug or you can fix it. I wouldn't recommend it unless there is a recent firmware in your country that fixes the issue (there isn't in mine), or you are willing to take all the steps to install a custom rom that fixes the issue. This was the only way I could fix the issue in my phone, because LG customer service said the phone was OK and didn't solve anything.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hon kin:
As many comments above, Optimus One was my first smart phone.

I have some hands-on experience with these droid, such as Desire HD, Galaxy Ace, X10, X8, Wildfire, X10 Mini. Well, with my experience on them and comparing them to my phone, i this the O1 is the best of the range. Some claims that Galaxy Ace is better for now but i still think O1 is better, as it is more capable to customize it.

O1 is great for everything except for the part that it doesnt have a camera flash. I really really wish i have one on mine phone, but who cares about that? I seldom use a camera flash as a flash light, but more as a torch light. XD

Talking bout LG, they have a great customer service. I had emailed to them before, and their reply were really quick! While Sony doesn't reply me at all...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pachuau86:
i agrree O1 is more customizable than Galaxy Ace, community support is also better. I chose to buy the 01 and didnt have any regrets till now, and gingerbread is coming soon.

and i never had the SD unmount problem from the start even while i was using stock rom

anyways, this is my first LG phone, but its great
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hon kin:
Exactly what i was thinking. And regarding the SD unmount problem,it doesnt happen on mine too, maybe i was using a correct card =/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] saswat:
i think optimus one is one of the best midrange devices available.its well worth the price.the 1500MAh battery that it carries is one of the biggest in android phones.

specs wise it can be compared to galaxy ace but O1 is a lot cheaper.and its 512 mb ram is a huge +point. Lg has promised a gingerbread update on it. on the other hand ,there's no word from samsung abt updating the ace to gingerbread. they havent even provided the froyo update for most of its eclair phones except the galaxy s and the galaxy 3.so u cant trust samsung abt updating the devices .
[Optimus One, P500, V General] clawsright:

[Nook Color General] RSchmauk:
Hi. I just received and rooted my nook color using auto nooter (with the 1.0.1 firmware).

I have noticed that I can only share paragraphs or reviews of books from B&N, and not from the ones I sideloaded with calibre. Is this OK, or am I doing something wrong? Maybe in the process of converting my books from fb2 to epub there is an option that blocks that feature…

Thanks

http://androidforums.com/fascinate-all-things-root/221347-clockwork-restore-kernel.html

One reply says it does backup the kernel as long as it is a non-voodoo kernel.

This seems right since the backup directory holds all the files that is from the kernel.

I am quite sure that on my phone CWM backup (in recovery mode at least) backs up literally everything.
