What kind of app do you want/need made?

[Lino]

I would like an app that would auto kill programs that run when I don't want them to run, like City ID.

 

[Lino]

An application that could find and record TV shows of choice or movie, or porn videos for watching at a later time.
This app would work with hulu, or netflix online.
By recording for later viewing it would run without pausing.
This would be limited on the SD card space available.

This might be an enormour undertaking. But, hey, you asked for ideas...

I like posting pics on the forum, have you seen the Photo Scavenger Hunt thread?.

Anyhow, my options for posting pics are (in my opinion) limited:

--Google's app, Picasso doesn't let me see the code to cut and paste when accessing the site thru the Android browser. Seriously? This is Google's native photo sharing app and it's not Android browser friendly. Am I missing something? Is this user error?

--Facebook, uploading is easy, Android app makes for easy viewing. But, again, no love on the [img] code.

--Flickr, lousy UI, uploading is not very seemless and not much Android love.

--(the one I use) Photobucket, It has a great mobile app, easy & fast upload, [img] code is easily and quickly copied. Viola, done! Here's the rub - you can't resize the pic and you get this ginormous picture which looks like crap on the PC forum and makes the page load slower than snot on the mobile version.

So, please suggest a better app, explain to me what I'm doing wrong with Picaso, FB, & Flickr, or explain how to resize PB pics

OR.... here's the app idea: have a method to allow pictures taken with the Android camera to be posted to forums and resized to a decent (not thumbnail and not enormous) size.

I know this sounds like a photosharing site and there's bandwidth issues and hosting issues and you want to just create an app and not a website and all of its issues. But, now that you see my dilemna - propose some sort of solution. I need an [img] link and the ability to resize.

Hulu blocks phones from viewing their website. Netflix does the same I am sure. If you want to record stuff, you would have to do it on your computer and transfer it over, a screen recording app would probably work well enough. Hope this helps!

I would like a first person shooter

Hi, I was looking for experienced Android developers and looks like I found one . I am creating an application called ReverseSnake, which is basically the opposite of snake. In this game, the snake has to avoid the apples.

I am getting the following error: The application ReverseSnake On a Phone(process.shankar.AndroidMaterial.eclipse.Reve rseSn ake) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I checked my code and xml files and they all look fine. I am running this on the 2.1 Android emulator. I basically used Google's Snake code and altered it.

If I can get your email, then I can send you all my files. This is my first application, so I would really like for it to work. I would also appreciate if you can help me get levels in the game. For instance, in Android, how would I have the game have like "Level 1, Level 2," when the player has earned a certain score?

I have been disappointed with the interaction between the stock "People" program and the way it flows (or in this case doesn't flow) with other applications it interfaces with. It just isn't as intuitive as the BlackBerry solution. Kind of hard to put a clear definition around what makes it "clunky" but as an example if you call a person using the "search people" program when you try to hang up from the call you are still at the search people app not the phone. Similarly from search people you can't add a contact but from the people program you can't pull up the keyboard if you want to search by keystroke instead of scrolling. I have over 800 contacts and scrolling takes longer than entering a couple of keys. Also when you pull up a contact you can't see their full address. If you press on the address it takes you to Google maps but most of the time I just need to send someone something not drop by their office. It just seems like something that was put together by a either a committee or a group working on individual elements without ever talking to each other. It really is the only issue I have with the Andriod system. It's a great product especially when you consider it is still in it's infancy.

Try dialer one in the market

 

[Blacker.the.berry]

How about something like BBLight? I loved it when I got an SMS or MMS on my BB and the screen would light up.



This was also a must have for me when I had my 9630.

There is an app called missed call that does this for phone calls handcent sms does it for text. They are both in the market.

 

[Blacker.the.berry]

Coming from a bb storm I miss the ability to customize my email notifications to be different for each contact. I want to hear a different ringtone depending on who is emailin me. This helps so when I am busy I know how important the email is.

In fact my storm you could customize every tone for incoming communication to be different if you want, IM email phone SMS mms you could individualize each of these to be specific for each contact..... I miss that. Also why can't I get a simple notification when one of my IM contacts becomes available? My stupid storm could do this. You should me able to receive a notification anytime an IM contact changes his/ her status.

If you make an app please make ones that enable these features.

androids notification system is just not that good!

I would love to have on my HTC Incredible:

1.) Social Networking Aggregator similar to Socialscope, Facebook, multiple Twitter accounts and other similar apps. FriendStream, Vodafone, SpiderSS, nahh.... Horrible.

 

[bobsimoneau]

I am new to biking. I find that I get get to distracted and travel to far in one direction. The grandkids then have a rough time with the return ride. I need an app that I can set an alarm so once I travel 5 miles, it warns me. I currently have to keep pulling out the phone and checking mytracks.

 

[Terry4505]

The Yahoo Fantasy Baseball Apps in the market suck. Yahoo is the best provider for fantasy baseball, but I have to use the full site to manage my rosters, it can be a bit of a P.I.T.A.

I would love an app that allows me to manage my rosters, make moves, adjust my lineup, view my weekly matchup etc.

now make it happen... hahah.

Hidden World Hut - webOS

I can't believe something like this doesnt exist for android yet. It just aggregates the feeds from a bunch of those lulz sites. All the FML/TFLN/MDT apps on android just pull up the mobileUI, in a kinda shell window. Each generally only have 1 or 2 supported feeds as well.

Weak sauce.

Try Life Stories.


I'd like an app that will print by bluetooth (that would be a great adjunct to my Documents To Go). Also, they have those small portable photo printers out there with bluetooth. It would be amazing to take a picture on your phone and be able to make a print of it to give someone right away.

An app that will act like a barcode scanner "keyboard" would be great too. I want the barcode scanner to show up under "Input Method" so that I can switch between my usual Swype keyboard and a barcode scanner. It's much easier to scan in a string of random alphanumberic characters (UPS tracking numbers and such) than typing them in with a touch keyboard. Having it as a "keyboard" would allow you to switch to it within any input box, rather than exiting, going to the Barcode Scanner app, then returning to whatever app you were in. Connecting to a secure wifi network by scanning in the key would be another use for a barcode keyboard app. I'm sure people will think of plenty of other things.

It would also be nice to have an app that tracks battery usage per app. You can then track which apps are using the most battery and shut those off with a task killer.

I would LOVE an app that allowed a watermark (text or maybe even png) to be added to any photo taken from the device camera before uploading it to facebook or twitter.

I think some celebs or people with their own websites would love this as well. I would pay money for this.

This is a really interesting idea, I assume you would have your own design for the watermark as a .mpeg or something right? Then you could load the picture into the app and it would auto go through pics and add it or something.

 

[frunkiss]

It would have to be an image file, and preferably with transparency so png or gif, but png is usually better quality. An mpeg is a video format.

This is what I would think, but I'm not familiar with Android's SDK enough to develop for it, but I am a web developer.
An online server maybe needed to upload the original camera image & the watermark file or text entered.
Using PHP the server would then overlay the watermark on to the camera's image.
The app would then upload it to a picture hosting service like Facebook, Twitpic, Tweetphoto, etc APIs.

This would be a great and profitable idea I'm sure. Especially if you made a trial app that only allowed text to be the watermark. I can see celebrities, gossip blogs, and businesses using this.

I have more ideas. PM if anyone wants to hear them.

 

[JohnnyBeGood]

So, please put your suggestion here, or if you would rather keep it private just feel free to PM me. You could even hit up my AIM (linked under my name on the right ----> ) if you so desire!

Record current call in background. All apps seem to record only one way.

 

[Pro9Chance]

What about one to confirm sending a text message??? Sometimes I'll accidentally hit send and then realize that I sent it to the wrong recipient.... On a non-smart phone device you can just hit end and it cancels it... this app would greatly be appreciated.
