My App Wish List
 

wishing my n900 fairy grandmother is browsing through the pages, here is a list of apps i would want for the n900.

1. Baby Book app - where any parent can list memorable stories anecdotes, baby pics, milestones including funny ones like the first time she got lost or pooped in public or threw up on someone else.

2. Better Calendar Desktop Widget - something more customizeable

3. Desktop Dialing Pad - no shortcut, just directly dialing on the desktop
*similar*
Usual Contacts App - a desktop widget that will take you to the top 10 most dialled (not most recent dialled) contacts.

4. Flashlight modification - opening lens and a double click from power button automatically opens flashlight

5. Rainlendar for N900

6. Get Out App - an app to set a timer for your phone to ring and engage in a phantom conversation to get out of dates, meetings, reunions

7. Stumble Upon app - not in conjunction with FF. just an app on its own that will just stgumble unto a new website. with appropriate settings.

hey ive seen number 3
its called k9 call

Re: My App Wish List
 

^just tagged you as fairy godfather. thanks

**just realized i typed grandmother in my post... fml. =p

Re: My App Wish List
 

I don't think anything can get more customizable than QueenBeecon Widgets.. you should try that. So #2 is solved ;)

And have seen the #3 here somewhere..

There is a flashlight app but i am not sure it does the double click thing.

I saw someone working on a Get Out App but am not sure if they finnished it or if it was just talks.

Edit: Ops.. didn't see "Calendar" in the 2nd request.. But as you can see in a couple of posts down you have Calendar Home Widget.

Re: My App Wish List
 

For 7, doesn't Stumble Upon have bookmarklets you could use? (you can add bookmarklets into the N900's bookmarks).

I believe Rainlendar is Windows only (and probably X86, I haven't used it in ages so I can't remember).

Re: My App Wish List
 

There is an improved (and much more customizable) calendar widget in extras-devel (works well though... for me) if you haven't tried it out already.

Re: My App Wish List
 

Hmmm, i'd like to see an equalizer on the default media player, and an app to change it so songs aren't saved by meta tags and by file names instead like easy player does.

Re: My App Wish List
 

I'd love to have nr 1 :D

Re: My App Wish List
 

thanks for everybody's 2 cents.
i know about the other desktop calendar widget as a "newbie" im anxious about installing apps from "unchartered territory"

for the flashlight app, i dont know how others do it but i have to click on the status bar to open it, and close the camera. sometimes (like in a movie theater) u just want that flashlight on..now!

--------------

oh, i want apps for kids too. like sometimes, kiddies just want to play with whatever mommys playing/tinkering with. so at least they have options without wrecking the phone. something like a screenlock deac by power/camera button so they can swipe, push and click as much as they want without doing anything to the phone.

Re: My App Wish List
 

the media player is great by it self ( better than others). plays my music really well. but the need of a bit more power (amplification) is there, also the bass area of equilization needs to be looked into ( the sound layering is not that pronounced). probably an equilizer can sort it out.

Re: My App Wish List
 

Maybe a QueenBeecon widget could do something like that. It has dbus support. So it would just be to connect the right dbus call to the widget. It would not be double click tough..

You mean like a visible screenlock? Where you can see the icons and stuff but not press them..

In other case you just need to lock the phone with code.

Re: My App Wish List
 

maybe something like a button here for an animal sound, then something else there...
cause when i let my kid sketch on it, she goes nuts but would accidentally hit the dashboard/status bar. lock on all otherscreen details except for the ones meant to be kid-friendly.

oh great now im not making sense, at all.
apparently, none of ur toddlers play with the n900.

Re: My App Wish List
 

an application to import sms (and maybe mms) from other phones

Re: My App Wish List
 

Mine:
1)- Restart widget.
2)- Lock widget.
3)-different tones to different contacts.
4)- option to make ( new folder ) in the main menu.
5)- Quick launch ( to Extras)
6)- portrait mode.
7)- Up-grading the recaller so it will not conflict with Media player widget.
8)- Importing sms & mms from other phones & PC.
9)- option to save sms, mms & emails on memory card.

Hope the above will be seen soooooon.

Tnx

Re: My App Wish List
 

1)- Restart widget. = (QBW)
2)- Lock widget. = (QBW)
3)-different tones to different contacts. = (Custom ringtones for your contacts)

5)- Quick launch ( to Extras) = (Quick launch)

Re: My App Wish List
 

thanks dear, but wat is the QBW??
regarding the: Custom ringtones for your contacts & Quick launch, i mean when these 2 will be promoted to Extras???

Re: My App Wish List
 

You might want to try Zim.

Re: My App Wish List
 

everytime TMO user write a wishlist app thread, god kills kitten. please save kittens, keep it in one thread

Re: My App Wish List
 

when we will have the following in the Extras:
1)-(Custom ring-tones for your contacts)
2)-(Quick launch)

Tnx

Re: My App Wish List
 

Quick-launch is currently in extras-testing (link) and could be promoted (provided it gains 3 more votes) when quarantine ends: 2010-07-30 04:15

Custom ringtones is in devel. Haven't tried it and I'm not sure it will even hit testing at all.

Another alternative would be MyContacts which allows custom ringtones per groups. It is currently in testing (link) and has 3 votes as of now. Quarantine ends: 2010-07-31 16:45

You could of course enable extras-testing and download these apps right now yourself. They SHOULD be safe (but of course I can't guarantee anything).
