[GENERAL DISCUSSION]Features suggestions & Discussion Thread. - Off-topic

As the title goes..is there any feature you miss from the previous versions?
Is there any feature on any other OS that you would like to see in Android?
Any new features you would like for android KLM?
As for me, i would like to see an OS which roots the device on installation..

There was already a discussion about this feature yesterday in the images thread but..
Wireless mirroring, like airplay. I think that would be an excellent addition to Android.

Oh no that's not what I meant. I like the idea of this thread, we need a place to request and talk about features. I just didn't want people to think I was beating a dead horse by bringing it up again.

We've got the means to do it, just not the software. We can stream 1080 video to a DLNA client over wifi, so we've certainly got the capabilities to stream the desktop.

Sweet! Hopefully its fully integrated into Android very soon.
Two more smaller features I would like to see are announcing the callers name before ringtone (which is on some phones) and strobe the camera LED flash during calls. Optionally of course. I know there are some apps that announce callers name, but I haven't found one that works the way I want: announce caller one time, start ringtone from begining and dont announce callers name again. And there are LED strobe apps too, but those haven't worked for me since Gingerbread.

Corrected...(but obviously not including the 1100 & all )

Theme engine. I use CM9 which has one, but if it was an universal function in Android, there would be much more good looking themes... So far I've only found one good theme for the new framework.

Holo Red is the one i like.
I mean sure, there are a few good themes, but let's have a silent moment thinking CM7 themes...
Most of the CM9 themes are too "fancy" for my taste. "Real" pictures as status bar icons, too many different colors etc. I prefer minimalistic themes.

[Theme]Android 2.0

I have made a quick theme that looks like Android 2 from the SDK. Some icons are a bit big and the search and power control are a bit bigger too. I'm looking into those problems.
LINK: Here! <-For CyanogenMod 4.2.1 (4.2.2 this weekend)
PICS(can NEVER get this lined up right,sorry,if a mod can,please edit and do.):
EDIT:added poll for quick feedback on my 1st theme(it was quick and dirty since my RC copy of Win7 seems to hate the way I use WinRAR.... so I had to find a different way to put files in zip)

Hey,some people may want a theme that looks like Android 2 but don't want the laggy,no wifi or BT 2.0 rom that's out now,or have no theming experience.....I just went ahead & did this for myself,and shared it with xda for people to use/improve.
Good job bro I just wish it had some Android 2.0 wallpapers.
hey, you probably dont want to be showing your friends phone number like the one in the first screen shot.
if that is indeed a real phone number.

[Home Replacement] SlickUI

I'm pretty stoked about this new Home Replacement App! These guys are really changing things up! Check out the link for video preview and screenies

I like! I will have to wait to check out the video when I get out of work though. Any ideas on when this may be fully functioning?
looks pretty nice.

I'm sorry but how is it changing things up as you say? The layout is the same as any launcher I've ever seen.
What HTC did with sense on windows mobile, now THAT is "changing things up."

Except for SenseUI is poop! Haha! I say changing things up for the preview bubble, and the fact that you can put your apps in categories.

3d droid

Hi.
I'm modeling 3d Android for one website, so I'll like to share with you my current progress; this is not finished model: I have to change hands (I don't like them as they are now), make legs, and add some more details. I have just posed what I have till now in to some quick pose and make quick render, to better see how it looks, and what to change.
I the end, this will be animated character and it will be used for banners, logo, icons, animated intro for videos, and some wallpapers and maybe even for theme for mobile phones.

I'm modeling this in 3d studio max.
And here is one more small update; I have remodeled hands, so that now I have more wide range of movement with them.
Awesome work, the first face looks better in my opinion, but the second is more original.
I also prefer the darker face. There is more contrast and makes the eyes stand out more. Also looks happier. Good details there. It is very difficult to make "green skin" look good at best of times!
Tnx guys for comments.
Face is still something I haven't decide yet what to do about it; I'll have to make some tests with expressions to see what will work best.
Now, I have to make legs; i'm thinking about making them somewhat similar to hands, but I'll put wheels on them (they will be mostly hidden; there will be a gap like for hands, where wheel will come out), so that he will basically role around; i thing that he will look cooler that way.

[REQUEST] Metal Gear Solid codec dialer.apk

i feel like this would be a solid hit, especially against i*hone lovers that are mgs fans too. any interest?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYN1yz5lU8A
Word!! Metal Gear Solid is an epic game, would love to see it integrated into the captivate
that would be awesome I'm gonna sit down tonight and see what I can do but idk no promises.
Here are two notification sounds I have for anyone interested. One is the codec sound, and the other is the gaurd alert sound.
Bump the eff out of this!

link didnt work for me.
i found all the image files but im trying to get an idea how this should look. the calling screen seems easy enough but things like the dialer i feel would would get cluttered if i did to much to them. anywho ill dable a bit. i dont publicly theme but i like to make my own stuff so i can say its a bit personalized. who knows maybe ill take this idea for a spin lol

im actually trying to find the slanted 'pin stripe' package to use..or thats what im going to call it. i found one BUT it looks like it might be missing some essential characters.

just might be my preference but when i think metal gear i think the above.

Been a hardcore fan of mg since day one on my nes. If you pull this off I will pay at least 20 usd for a dialer. And 50 usd for a theme, or at least system sounds replacement.

Where do I unzip these files to be able to select them as notification sounds?

I used Ringdroid from the market to convert the mp3 into a ogg file. It also puts the file where you choose, (alarm, notification, ringtone). Im sure there's other ways, but that's how I did it.
Just checking for update. This is my most anticipated relelase for my captivate since day one of ownership.

thanks worked like a charm
I've been in the hospital and away from my desktop for the last few days but I have pretty good idea for tackling this so once I get home I'll make a mock up and we'll see what we can do.
let me be clear about this, there are a lot of metal gear themes out there, all of which incorporate character models as icons this is the kind of thing I do not like.
I would rather really like to see icons made out of pick up items, or the L1 R1 item weapons scroll windows, ( you know the ones black box w/Red single line drawings) the socom; rations; and the cardboard box a.
when I press keys on my keyboard I want to hear the socom silenced pistol shot. Do you catch my drift?
my mind goes so deep all the details that I can imagine, however I do not have technical ability to make my dreams come true.

i wish i could have a filter over my contacts picture to make it look like the original game. i have a picture for most every contact so that would be cool. dialer in the middle with a number display above, mostly a black theme/background.
would be sweet with the original sound effects. and the gingerbread lock animation??? SICKKKK!!!

Parallax

I just saw the iOS 7 video, and I thought the parallax thing was pretty awesome. you guys think that this could happen with the android? or is there some hardware limitation?
and wow, other than the icon, I think the systems looks really aesthetic for the new iPhone. I'm sticking with my HTC One for another 2 years though
