Case4Glass - Glass General

Hey guys, so this is not my project but I really would love to see it get funded. Anyway, it is a simple case for Google Glass. the bag given by Google is nice, but just not very practical, personally. This, however, looks very nice and should protect nicely.
Mod Edit: Sorry kickstarter links violate xda rules.
Take a look, maybe pledge.

I need to hire a developer!

Howdy, the name's Mike. I've got an idea for a comics app that I think has legs. I want to release it for the Android Market, but I'm a graphic designer and I'm absolutely useless when it comes to code. The App Inventor isn't robust enough for my needs. So, I need to hire someone who can take my graphics, concepts and instructions and make it into a real app.
I'm planning this as a commercial application (~1.99/free with ads), so you will be paid well for your work. Preference will be given to developers who can code for multiple platforms (Android/iOS/WP7), have proven development and Android Market experience, enjoy internet comics, and who can meet in person in north Texas.
I've been lurking on XDA since I got my HTC Touch three years ago, and I can't think of anywhere else I'd like to start looking for talented developers. I supply the ideas, the capital and the interface. You supply the rest. Let's make an app. Email me at aggie20x at gmail dot com to get the ball rolling.
[Mods: If this post violates XDA rules, please take it down and email me to let me seek alternatives. I don't want to make any trouble.]
I was wondering a similar thing, but a search doesn't give much.
I didn't want to make a new post, I'm surprised there wasn't a long list of devs for hire already
Please post here if you might be available. I have a rather simple app request.

Let's hear it.
Basically I just want an app for my site (see sig below) which will give the posts in a list, have a tab for comments and a tab for videos (from our YouTube channel).
My idea was it would be a way for people to say thanks (I would charge 99p for it) and it would maybe help fund further progress of the site...

Graphics Designer Needed. Any amount of experience welcome!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I'm making an app with a friend of mine and we both are terrible at making graphics (we both code). The game is a simple dice game yet what sets it apart from other dice games is online play and a level of polish above the rest. Our code is pretty polished, even in its humble beginnings, so we are looking for a graphics designer who is willing to help show to users a polished interface.
We don't care how much experience you have as long as you're willing to learn (we can't teach you though obviously). The only thing we ask for is that you give at least 3 hours a week to the project. I believe that is not a lot to ask for. We are doing this project as a hobby and we hope to add another member (or two) to our team. Once again thank's for your time.
If you would like to know more about the app please post in the thread so other people can benefit from the information and if you have more personal questions feel free to PM me.
I'm actually interested. if it's not too time consuming I will gladly give it a try.
you can take a look at my deviant art profile to see what graphic works i normally do
http://aoisora9x.deviantart.com/
send me an email @ [email protected] if you want to contact me.
i do lots of traditional paper and pen design then move it over to digital paint.
let me know if you need some help and what your ideas and i'll toss up a few test designs you can look over.
i do very little in terms of actual 3d renders and modeling.

Nice Deadmau5 head
not hijacking, but it'd be really cool to see resources designers kicking around here make. which could then be used in projects by devs. just putting something out there will encourage others to use it. ie. icons and so on.

The only problem with that is that some people don't like other people to use their work. It's the same thing with code (i.e. open source or not). In any case it would be better to submit work you would like to share on Open Clip Art instead of a thread that would be hard to upkeep and search through.

The time it will take depends on you're proficiency with creating buttons backgrounds and stuff like that. Right now I have three people that want to work on this and I always had in mind to have different themes for this app. I'm going to ask Aoi_sora9x if he won't mind other people making other different themes. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

i thoroughly disagree! so if a designer didn't want to share, they're not forced to post whatever they've made on here. and as xda is a large community, you never know who could be reading about your work. maybe a new forum would be best.
I think the main reason is that XDA is a developer forum and not a designer forum?
artists and designers mostly will post on art forums, like how developers will only share stuffs on developer forums. When i wanna share a new icon set, XDA is not the first place i would think of. :/

True. The new forum idea has potential.
I would like to try that, too..

Otterbox :-)

I emailed a P.R at otterbox about cases and they responded saying
Hello! Thank you for your interest in our product! Unfortunately,we do not have any information ifthis particular case will be made at this time. I have put in a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as well as, becoming a fan of ours on Facebook. It will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have. Additionally, here is a link to a surveyyou can take regarding new product suggestions if you would like to take a few minutes to fill it out: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OtterBoxCustomerService_CaseTiming I can let you know that I received a similar request for this yesterday… the more requests we get, the better!
Lets all submit so we can get a really durable case
For now I went with a Full body Invisible Shield protector!
The Acer case is nice, it's not an Otterbox, but it provides some protection.
Anything new, it has been so many months, yet Otterbox has not produced a case yet for the Acer A500.
I just contacted them as well. Hopefully we can get one.

I e-mailed them a few days ago and got the same response. Iconia isn't getting any love.

Wow sounds like the exact same e-mail response for a defender case I was asking for if they had plans to make.

Attention, one comment on Amazon says that this book was badly port from Apple App Store to Google Play.
Exchange Reviews with other developers
Lets face it, become successful on Google Play market is nothing easy, yes you need a very unique app but you also need a good marketing campaign in order to get enough downloads and a good rating, most indie developers can't afford that. But wait... there are many apps submitted everyday to android market, that means there are many developers trying to show their own apps, so that means... we are a lot.
Why not help us each others?
Join AndroidKi community and Exchange reviews with other developers!
How it works?
In order to submit your app to get reviewed, you need to review other 3 apps too. Each review gives you 5 AndroidKi points, you need 15 to submit your app. Simple, effective and SEO friendly.

Nudge - promising messenger project on kickstarter (WhatsApp alternative)

Hi everyone,
I just discovered a promising project on kickstarter which - in my opinion - is worth a look and might deserve some more backers.
It's called "Nudge" and is a very slick and straight designed Messenger app. Next to the design and some promising features I appreciate most the promised cross-platform experience. I always hate to type WhatsApp messages on my phone while I'm sitting in front of a computer anyhow.
Have a look for yourself: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/f1f1rul3s/nudge-the-instant-messaging-app-like-no-other
As with every WhatsApp alternative the most important question will be whether enough people will install the app and form a relevant user base.
Please note that I'm not affiliated with the project in any way, I just thought that XDA would be a good place to find some people who appreciate promising app concepts.
Best,
Becksman
Hey,
I backed Nudge. Lets hope it will be successful in funding and after that popular.
And it looks like "Nudge" needs a lot more backers, so go ahead and give the guy 5 bucks so he can build the messenger.
Yep. Backed them too.
While the goal of 150k GBP might seem a little ambitious as of today, I really like the idea. And if they shouldn't reach their goal - no-one gets charged. So c'mon - back this project.
