Thanks!

nice app. much easier than android browser I cant figure out the favorites.
EDIT: you cant favorite entire forums. Just individual threads

downloading now!!
the app looks great!

I believe Tapatalk is the application they are using which also supports other forums enabled for it.

Here you go
*edit* it works pretty well, i dont like having to find the vogue forun every time i boot it up though

Do you plan on releasing the source of this app? I had a project I was working on for a forum, but ran into some issues. Some example coding would definitely be nice.

Very nice but no way to bookmark forums = no good for me

I love it! ill use it when I can't get to a computer. Very good for show off threads because it takes 1 less step to upload pics!

I'm pretty sure that unfortunately is not possible
You could always install a theme that looks like iOs but there aren't any good themes that actually look like iOs

go launcher ex with classic theme looks similar to iOS app drawer wise with placing apps onto one another to create a folder. The MIUI rom also has a lot of the same look as iOS but it hasnt been fully ported over to galaxy s yet

Almost impossible, iOS is closed source. This question has been asked so many times, search before posting!

There would be a lot of trouble with drivers, gsm and just everything, so it's almost impossible to port. Why don't you buy iPhone then if you want iOS?

Cause i dnt affort a iPhone.... As per a post in site Its possible... So plzzz try to help me...
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app

You have three options really:
-MIUI, and maybe then find an iPhone theme if there is one
-This rom, although its Gingerbread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964099
-There's a developer on Play Store who released almost exact replicates of iOS apps. You can find them by searching things like Hi Music, Hi Videos, etc etc
And I mean almost EXACT replicates of iOS.
So you coud get any rom you want and just download those apps to use

You have visual options like iOS, but never the iOS

You could port it your self but it would be a pain in the a** but the iPhone 4 has the same CPU/GPU and ram but you would need the boot loader need a modified kernel to set proper screen size and other hardware features and since its closed source it would be better to buy a piece of sh*t iPhone and use it

I'm just wondered, why someone wants to change Android to iOS?
Especially on our great phone, which can handle latest Android 4.3 without lags?
Last years I only see how Apple trying to catch up Google, copying features like panorama or extended notifications...

Is it possible to upgrade xperia mini to android 4.3 official???

Just Java means
Java Programming Language
Or in just a word
Java
printf("random signature because I have got nothing else in my mind right now");

Yes Java is the main Language for apps.

Also found on xda-university. But yes, you are going to need to get thirsty to read. Then learn how to use that knowledge to make something. If you need help there are plenty of android development mailing lists and forums out there, including the ones here on xda.
The guides by Adam are pretty good! I also recommend them.
There is also MIT OpenCourseWare and tons of other things you'll find if you google around enough.

It depends on the complexity of either. You can make them as simple or as difficult as you wish.

Thats cool if everybody make own apps.. And share..
But learning java language for noob like me it take a year
Sorry for bad english

I went out and got several books on JAVA and Android development to get myself started. I finally decided that if I worry about how long it will take to learn, I will never even start.

Not at all.
Having made a few apps myself, I can say this for sure : all you need is maybe a week or two. Android app development needs java and XML. The XML part is pretty easy and can be learnt on the go. The java part, well if you know data types, functions syntaxes and commands syntax, it's sufficient to make a basic app

Learning java

What books or pages of Internet do you recommend me? (if it's in spanish better but it doesn't care me if it's in English)

Go to the new Boston tuts on YouTube

Check Head First Java book if you want to have a hard copy you can check any time

Are you using that to learn java? Is working for you?

In Spanish i use Oracle Java 7, it's great

Get all the documentation you need, on line straight from the horse's mouth.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index.html
Sun originally developed Java, before Oracle bought them out.
The "Java resources" panel to the right contains some pretty useful stuff.
Like C# and the .NET framework, Java has thousands of objects you can use, to the point of almost total confusion.
You will need to keep one eye on the API definitions, unless you have a specific IDE that is aware of the version that you are trying to code, and can prompt you for the parameters to methods etc.
It is currently only in English, Chinese or Japanese.
Tutorials: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/index.html

Bruceeckel.com. the best
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

IMO it would be better to buy a book that teaches Java... it is not a simple language so you'll have to study it very hard

Use roseindia website. Java mentals and genious group there. All tutorials are there.
Use console dont use IDE for beginning. Good luck.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

Also this site here is great! I've taken a look at it and it teaches the basis of the language, very well done.
https://www.udemy.com/java-tutorial/

Google is my master for programming.
Sounds cheesy, but I am serious. I usually look for ebooks and youtube tutorials through google. I think someone above has already suggested this, but boston tuts is great. Other than that, I use stackoverflow for any questions i have. they are a very professional community that is able to provide very clear and detailed answers to any problem you are having.
Just make sure that you program while you learn. Just watching 3 hours of youtube tutorials will not help you. You will definitely have to spend a considerable amount of time actually writing programs and debugging them(80% of that time will be you banging your head on the keyboard : P )

Stackoverflow good for android too. Main is usage of our own brains. Even oracle may not help in many cases.

it depends on which part of android you want to develop java is a very small part of android, basically apps... xml is pretty much everywhere... but i would recommend to study C because you need it for kernels and many other stuffs

Look I am not interested in kernel right now but want to develop apps & port mods too ? Any idea what I should focus on ?

Java it is.
But learning C won't be a time waster because its the kindergarten class when a student wants to become a programmer. But for the sake, learning Java is more than enough to develop apps.

How to make 3d button images

Please tell me how the 3d looking images in framework and themes are made.I am not able to make them using paint.net or photoshop
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app

Never used paint.net but I know you can make that kind of images in Photoshop very easily.
There are like 1000 guides out there but the thing is if you know how to get them.

you need at least basic skills to make it look good, or you can use presets and plugins and make it look like crap

Yackovsky is right...you do need basic skills first.
And some good Google skills too if you want that.

I know how to draw basic images I only want to know . How the 3d effect is given. I know that are only some shades nothing else but those are not such easy to make. I have already searched Google but I don't want those video tutorials as I have not such good connection.
Now I am goin to search any plugin etc for photoshop

It seems like you have some misunderstanding here. It's quite easy if you know what you're doing just a little time consuming in some cases.
And you need to improve your Google skills too as I learned from Google only. There's a lot of information out there.....only if you know where you're looking. No one's born with this knowledge, you have to search and learn yourself.
