The Cornerstone fan thread! ^^ - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

In the last days I really became a fan of everything I can find about cornerstone. There are (already) many things to find about this rom extension which makes it easy to show multiple apps at the same time.
I start this thread for the following reasons:
*) I'd love to see a Cornerstone ROM for our Galaxy Tab 8.9
*) I want ta make a statement to the devs. This piece of SW seems to be awesome and should be integrated to your custom rom project!
*) find others which are thinking the same
*) find new news about cornerstone and discuss.
I start with some Infos:
What is Cornerstone?

Devices which already got cornerstone:

*) HP Touchpad
Rooted:
*) stingray (???)
*) stingray_cdma (???)
*) Asus Transformer tf101
*) Asus Transformer Prime tf201
*) umts_everest (???)
*) wingray (???)
*) and I'm sure even more...
I read that testbuilds for our big brother (Galaxy Tab 10.1) was already seen on the net so I expect that there is no reason why we shouldn't get it for the 8.9.
Other rumors tell us that CyanogenMod 9 will get it. I really hope so but I think this will take some time until we see the first nightly builds.
Anyway, maybe I can motivate some AOSP rom cookers look at cornerstone?

Would love to see this as well. That extra real estate has so much potential.

i think all the ICS devs have been notified of this and have looked into this.
if or when this gets merged with standard CM9 im pretty sure to see kallt_kaffee cook up a version for us.

Btw, you may want to give Overskreen a try. Paid app but check the demo in the market. Quite neat having a second screen.

Nice finding but it seems to be for browser only. I'm planing to use the split screen feature to use google navigation and a music player.

Agreed. Cornerstone will be a lot better. Still trying to find effective use of overskreen browser but nice having the option.

Oh yes... this would be awesome. But I would still like the i957 to get an ice cream sandwich upgrade as well...

Just Acquired a galaxy t8.9 and am loving it so far. Really excited about the cornerstone app and can't wait to have a ROM COOKED up for 8.9 use.
Hopefully the devs are watching this and we won't have to wait too long

On the homepage and in the article there are videos to see how it works. If this method works flawlessly it will definitely improve the writing speed a lot. Looks very promising from my point of view. I subscribted the newsletter to get a notice when this will be available (soon as the developers said).
I subscripted myself to test the beta! So i'm curieus to the result.
Subscripted also
Subscripte also. The app looks verry promising. Can not wait to use it.
signed up as well. looks like an interesting concept, especially on the diamond.
Repeated Thread?

and people would finally stop whining about not being able to type easily on their touch'es
not really a revolution... Just stumbled on something like this yesterday cus i really wanted that iphone feature

The symbols page is too small. Other than that - not too bad.
Unfortunately we'll probably never get to use it due to their business model of now downloading of it, it's just baked into the carrier ROM's. Kind of dumb in my opinion, but maybe someone here can make a cab file from it.

Thinking Space : Preview of new Mind Mapping app for Android

Hi,
Here's a special XDA preview of my entry for ADC2: Thinking Space
Thinking Space is a Mind Mapping application for Android.
Features include basic compatibility with Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net) and XMind (via Freemind import/export)
Heres a image export from the application, which helps to explain its purpose:

If you are in to Mind Mapping, I would very much appreciate any feedback you have at the moment.
It's been a massive challenge to get this to where it is now in the couple of months since the Android Developers Challenge 2 was announced, so some bits are still a bit rough around the edges, but overall it's quite complete now.
The Cloud support is very basic at the moment, however I hope to have a web frontend soon that will allow you to download your maps and also upload new revisions from your PC.
Thinking Space is freeware, I may even open source it once I've had the oppurtunity to tidy the source up abit!
Edit:
Now on Android market:

Hi,
The cloud function uses Google App Engine to the store the maps online.
I've done an update for Droid and Tattoo screens users.
If anyone has a Droid, and particulary a Tattoo, I'd be really interested in hearing any feedback you have!
Any UK devs going to Android Labs on the 19th November?
great app
works great. Thank you
I use the programme for some time and I think it is one of the most beautifully crafted apps.
It is just GREAT!
but where do i find online my maps?
Is there any way to download file

This release is HUGE! Sapphire has hit 1.0! Everyone is excited including us, with this release we have several announcements to make.
First off, Sapphire 1.0, with Verizon's release of the official OTA update we are proud to announce our 1.0.0 release. Many of you have been looking foreward to it for a while! A few features people will like are that Gem Settings has been moved to the actual settings screen instead of it being it's own app, kmob's lockscreen music controls, we've also modified the previous volume controls(when screen is off) when music was playing to now skip tracks on long-press and work accross all music players, including Pandora and Slacker Radio. Bug fixes include ##program menu, 50% signal loss bug, wifi signal loss issue.
For a full list of changes and bug fixes please see the changelog.
http://sapphire.ccroms.net/wiki/releases/sapphire-1.0.0
Next up we have our own website now!(no forums at this time) It's name is ccroms.net which stands for Crystal Clear Roms. This is now the blanket name for the group and all roms we produce. CCroms.net is a centralized location for all information related to sapphire, other upcoming roms, bug tracker, howto, etc. We hope you like it!
http://www.ccroms.net
I would also like to officially announce the addition of BGill to the ccroms team as the master of themes, or "The Jeweler" as he has come to call himself. He needs no introduction as you all know who he is. Though i will say he worked all last night to port themes for the 1.0.0 release so once he wakes up we should have several themes ready to go for everyone.
http://sapphire.ccroms.net/wiki/releases/sapphire-1.0.0
Lastly, we are also currently in a donation drive. As many of you know we are trying to expand our device coverage to the HTC Incredible to produce a rom named Ruby, which will be Sapphire for the Incredible. For more information on this should you feel like donating please see the below link.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/cvpcs/65218-will-work-incredible-ruby.html
enjoy everyone!
sorry i've been out of the game lately but, what is this?
Yeah, downloaded and flashed late last night along with the black glass theme. So far no bugs I've seen runs fast and smooth. The tweaks are nice also. Thanks guys. Will donate as soon as I can. Been waiting a while forcthis one.

it's a (really sweet) custom ROM with 2.2 and a wide variety of kernels and themes. Thanks to the devs for a job well done! This is running perfectly for me.
Damn, I was hoping it was FRG22. Nice so far tho. New notifications is a nice touch. Gotta wait for my apps to populate so I can really test it.

[Q] First Thread When Will it Get JB ?

I follow you, I think it's safe to say that JB will always be an acronym for jelly bean on android forums.
I think:
+ the skin isn't too heavy.
+ Googlora (googorola? how do people spell that?). Moto should hopefully do better than most with software updates.
+ No hardware buttons to reconfigure
+ Motorola desperately needs some good publicity. A little over a year ago, Moto was the company that released the first major dual core android device (not counting G2X), and was seen as innovative because of webtop. These days, Motorola hardly even enters the conversation.
but,
- The phone was JUST released. I bet we'll see an OTA update or two, or maybe even three, before JB comes around.
- I don't think this will be hugely popular. It COULD be, because it has amazing hardware, and for the subsidized crowd, $99 is a steal. But right now, with such little press, I sorta doubt it. The smaller the user base, the lower it will be on the list of priorities.
- Until bootloader is unlocked, we're can't do it ourselves.
If I had to guess, I would say October or November, but that's just a guess.
I think we can expect to see a JB update much earlier. It really isn't that much different from ICS. I've used CM9 and CM10, I know that they are not official, but the difference isn't too great.
You guys are guessing October/November to get a JB update?
I promise you this update will not come before next spring! Google will do itself a great injustice if it favors Motorola in the least and with such large clients as HTC and Samsung, that's the last thing Google wants to do as it will certainly strain relationships if not end them. Motorola hasn't even upgraded the Atrix 2 with ICS yet and it's been out for what, 9 months? Moto will not jump to the front of the line for updates now that Google owns it, trust that, they may still get JB on the AHD but it's gonna take some time.
Awesome?

Go Ahead and search this on Google as I am not allowed to post links yet
Found this today. I believe it is good news for custom roms and we will not have to wait for official updates :good:

Neat Official Google Tool for Showing Off Homescreens

Was just having a look on the Official Android Develops site (http://developer.android.com) and noticed google had added a tool which allows you to upload your screenshots, and the tool automatically overlays them onto the screen of your device.
They only list the Pure Google devices, Nexus 4,7,10 and the older models etc, but it is still really handy. Even has options for shadow and glare.
Maybe I'm just late to the game, but I had never seen this before? Will certainly make posting in homescreen threads a lot easier.
Link is http://developer.android.com/distribute/promote/device-art.html
It's certainly a tool I will be using a lot, so I hope this is of some assistance to others too :good:

Very nice find! This should certainly help with making apps look more professional in Android Market screen shots, plus you could use it in tutorials to point out what buttons to press when doing something, or highlighting what each function of an app does.
A lot of people use this for their screenshots. There is also a version in the play store.

this is the best one out there supports many phones and he is constantly updating

I dont want to be the 1 to ruin all the fun but I read when I was publishing my theme, when you upload screenshots, you cannot have a border, so im assuming this will get your product removed from the Play Store
