The Samsung SIII has a briefing alarm on the clock app. It allows a tts voice called "briefing" to announce news, weather and most importantly to me, calendar items at scheduled intervals. Is there anything like this for the nexus 7? Nothing on the play store offers the ability to use an alarm to announce calendar items. I even installed a custom touchwiz rom to allow me to use the samsung clock, but, it does not have the "briefing" tts or any of the samsung tts voices so, it only seems to announce the time using the pico tts, no news, weather or calendar items. If I use the Google tts, it crashes the clock app. I just want this feature on my nexus 7. Is it possible? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Agreed. This would be great addition

How did you get a touchwiz rom on your nexus 7? Or was it just themed to look like touchwiz?

There is a rom or two, including a galaxy tab port, as well as an addon pack that includes the TW launcher and a few Samsung apps.

I tried the CodenamSammy one but, it had no features of the Samsung clock that I described. Then I tried this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038920
and it is pretty close but, I guess the real question is, can I instal the Samsung TTS set into my Nexus 7 and if so, how?
iirc there was a tasker workflow that could make announcements - not sure if it can source it's info from apps like weather etc, but maybe? (I really need to try and use the app for once ha)
Well, if there is any way to do this, I am all for it. I'd gladly move back to the stock image if it would do it there. There has to be a way. I found a samsung TTS apk. Installed it but, no briefing option. In fact, it also crashed the clock app.

I was in verizon store (att hadn't got there shipment in) to check out the tab and continuum, the continuum wasn't in and they took down the fascinate display models. But the tab was up. I noticed that the email app appeared to be updated from the port we already have and that it has a different browser and all share app. Is the tab software dump still around? And have things like the launcher all share and browser been tested on the cap? The launcher has a launcher 2 aosp look to it, and the drawer is a 4x5 view.

I think there is a thread in the development section about the email apk, I don't know how up to date it is though.
Yeah I use the email app from the leak, the one on the team appears to be a little different.
I would like to try all share and maybe the browser if I could find the system dump that was around somewhere.

I'm taking ideas for new apps! I'm starting to develop for Android and am looking for ideas on apps to develop. What apps would you like to see developed?
A clone of the TW stock clock for CM7. I loved having an alarm clock with gentle alarms, stopwatch, and timer all in one app. I haven't found a suitable app that combines all three as elegantly as the stock clock did.
I haven't seen this option yet in file managers (if there already is please let me know), but I would like to see a batch file delete with a confirm delete option. That would be nice.

an app that tells you if your battery is calibrated correctly. Nothing like that out there. I know there is a battery calibrator app but not one that tells you if it is calibrated or uncalibrated I think that would be awesome! So you know after you flashed a rom or kernel or something else just pushed it out of wack.
Wifi calling like the T-mobile app.

I have to 3rd the request for a very basic clock app like the stock Fassy clock. All it would need is an Alarm, Timer, and Stopwatch.
An added bonus would be to somehow make it use the ASOP upper right clock notification instead of a proprietary icon that would have to be placed in the upper left.

I know there are multiple restore apps out there but I think there's room for improvement. I would like a backup and restore app that puts your phone back basically just like it was before you wiped. Especially home screen setups, also games and what not that you have spent hours, days, or weeks getting to where it is only to have it all go down the tube is pretty frustrating. I can't speak for others but I would easily pay 25 bucks for something like this.

I just want a app to modify a status bar, this would be rather difficult to make I think, start with AOSP ROMS. Or, go the high road, start with mods like CM7.

Hi everyone, I have seen some of the apps from the sgs2 which I really like the look of, e.g mms. Apk and such
It would be great if some devs could port some of the apps from the sgs2 to our phones. I can get copies of the apps from the system if you need them.
Thanks happyland.adventures

Hi all,
I love the calendar on my Note and I absolutely hate the calendar on the One.
Has anyone successfully ported calendars from other phones? More specifically the calendar from the Note/S4/S3?
I'm wondering if the Google edition S4 calendar would work on the One.

I'm sure there are tons of choices in the play store.
I would just try google calendar and see if you like that one.

Try 'aCalendar'
They have a free and paid version.
Neither have adds, both have nice calendar widgets with different color themes available (I'm using black/orange because yay Halloween).
It syncs with my google calendars nicely
I found this gem of an app long ago when I got tired of google calendar widgets.
Here are a couple screenshots of the widgets. Month view and day view.
