New App/Widget Idea... Hear me out... (Fans of LOST)

[Erob.Phillips]

I'm new to the forums, so don't flame me too hard if this isn't the right place to post this. I'm running UltimateDroidv8 on my Droid that I've had since release. I work at Best Buy and live life. Stoked to be on the forums too!

Alright, so imagine this. You have an app, or a widget that is a countdown clock like the one in lost when they are in the hatch. It has a countdown every 108 minutes, just like the show. At that time, if the numbers aren't entered, and the button isn't pressed, then it starts turning to the hieroglyphics and starts making the noise. (and eventually stop, of course). Somewhere around the clock, maybe below, there is a button you can press so you can enter the numbers. And then hit execute, resetting the countdown. An idea I would definitely love to see, and I'm not really sure how else to request an app... So any guidance on that would be awesome.

if it was free id totally download that, just for fun ofcourse...it would be cool if there was a setting to make it like make a noise or vibrate when it gets past 108...obviously have that as the option since well i dont wanna be woken up every 108 minutes when im sleeping

hahaha imagine if someone made this app and they made it so you could never turn it off so you had to press the button

+1 for all of that...I want this widget! Too bad I have no clue how to go about making it...

Yeah! I'm glad I posted the idea. I don't think I've read it anywhere. I've always been a stalker on the forums, been too lazy to sign up. But this idea is too good to let go, IMO. Which is obviously why I signed up.

I even tried google-ing "How to request android apps" and no luck. Someone needs to figure it out and let me in out the secrets of requesting apps.

there is no "place" to request apps....like there isnt a list of suggested apps that devs would choose from people just make what they want to you just gotta find someone to do it

If you don't enter the numbers in time, the phone turns into an ultra-powerful ultramagnet and implodes. And then you can see the future.
