Database Develop

[Q] Which Apps Would You Like to See Developed?

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.

A better gallery you can organize and junk.

+1. I liked CM7 before it was mainlined, but the lack of gentle alarm and camera comparable to touchwiz really turned me away

Haven't seen this yet, but how about the ability to set each homescreen with a different wallpaper?

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.

What's your favorite power widget?

I miss the power widget that was packaged in the original loader, it's not worth going back just for the widget. What are your favorites?

What's wrong with the power widget in the pull down notification bar? I still have that after flashing the decrapped rom, and I love it.

Gotcha - the only widget I used on my Moto Droid was the stock Android 2.2 widget, so the notification bar widget is enough for my needs - it's basically the same thing only in a more convenient place

I'll take a look at the droid built in app. Thanks Ben. What I'm missing is the grouped switches on one widget. That and to be able to turn off sync without digging in settings.

I use "Free Power Widget"...im just trying it out, but will probably pay for the full version as I think its pretty good and customizeable...So far so good.

Just tried Extended Controls and Widgetsolid but both have broken functions e.g. gps and sync.

Full weather animations

Is this no longer an option with sense 5?
And the title should have said full screen weather animations.

No, this has been removed from what I understand.

Tap the Weather icon, and you will be taken to a full screen animation. But, full screen animation over your home screen, that is gone.

The only way is to install Beautiful Widgets and download the features package and on settings unlock animations.

That's true, but the sense version felt better. The BW version required you to tap the screen to get it to stop before you could use the phone, while sense would just make it disappear instantly without having to make that initial "exiting" tap

Yeah I know... I don't like beautiful widgets any more... I am hooked with Uccw instead.

There is a way to get the weather animations back but you have to change your wallpaper. Check in Live wallpapers and use the "Weather" one. It's pretty nice actually because it changes for day, night, rain, cloudy, etc. and the animation stops after a few seconds which I assume saves on battery drain. But you are locked into that wallpaper. Hope that helps.

Anyone know how to disable let the lock screen weather and calendar widget?

I can't seem to find a way to disable the weather and calendar widget on the lock screen. I have Exchange setup where I'm using Xposed to bypass the Exchange security requirements. Am wondering if this the cause of the widget showing up. Anyone having this same issue?

Do you want to remove it? Hold and drag down then hold the middle of the widget and you'll see a remove icon at the top appear.

I have tried that and holding the widget does not do anything on the lock screen. I want to remove it and just simply display a clock.

Its in settings/device/lockscreen/ clock widget options . Just set weather to never update, and uncheck dual clock and date.

Thanks for answering, but that's the first thing I did when I got the phone. I have checked all settings and can't seem to find out why it keeps appearing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Settings > Device Tab > Lock Screen > Multiple Widgets (first option) to ON
then you can manipulate your lock screen widgets, including removing the stock one I believe, I use dashclock
edit: just tried it and turns out it just pops back up automatically if you try to remove it, sorry about that!

Yeah that's how I did mine you must got a bum device.

I had trouble with this too. Every time I removed it it would come right back the next time I unlocked my device.
Make sure you have multiple widgets enabled. Then add a 2nd widget (mine was dashclock).
I actually had to turn off all notifications for the stock messaging app in order to make sure that widget went away completely. Also go into the settings of the messaging app and disable the alerts from showing up on the lock screen. Not sure why that fixed it for me but it did...

+1 on this can you also just disable the notification on the lockscreen and just have text notifacation appear in status bar ? I want to delete the weather widget and have just daskclock on my lockscreen . Lockscreen notifications show over daskclock covering it up

Yeah I think I can emulate the original posters issue. Basically he and I did what others mentioned. However when I swipe left then right again, I still see weather widget and notification widget etc. Even after draging them to remove.

My bad I meant can you also just disable lockscreen popup notifications and only have status bar notification?I also want to know a way to get rid of the weather/calendar /time widget and have it come back.

I havent been able to find the right app for it. I think its tied into the system ui. I did find a work around though. If you enable a pin code and set it to secure after an hour of inactivity it will disable the weather widget and only ask you for the code after a prolonged break in using your phone. Ive been doing it for a few days now and its only asked me for the pin like 5 or 6 times. Not nearly as annoying as that widget though haha

Yeah, I changed the DPI via build.prop and now they appear all the time as you said...
Any way to fix that? (maybe somehow using xposed app settings?)

If anyone is interested in just having a plain lockscreen wallpaper like myself(no weather no clock) just simply enable multiple widgets and delete the clock and add Invisiwidget from Google Play and you're all good.

I only found a workaround by setting pin code security and set my phone to lock after an hour. I use my phone so often it very rarely asks me for the code and I haven't noticed any negative battery life from it

I just figured out how to do it. There should have been a setting under lock screen that disabled the widget but in my lock screen settings it only asks what preferences I want. The weather widget on mine said AccuWeather.com on it so I searched for that and found it in my widgets that came on the ROM, ie you can't uninstall it. My device is rooted so I used one of those app freeze apps to locate the widget and disable it. Restart phone, all good. The app I used was called disable manager. The icon is a green android with a No symbol in front of it. It gives you two lists, one apps, the other system processes. The widget was under System tab under the name weather widget. Hope that helps. Took me a couple weeks to figure that out!

Can't on stock correct but I would think this would be possible with rooting or a custom rom.
