Participate in the Ubuntu Core Apps Hack Days and get involved in developing the essential apps of Ubuntu on phones.
Starting this Wednesday, and during the next three weeks, we’re organizing a set of Hack Days inviting all interested contributors to bring Ubuntu Touch up another step closer to a production release and to ensure all core apps have reached a state of functionality to be used every day.
With the Core Apps Hack Days we’re targeting several objectives:
Get all core apps into a ‘dogfoodable’ state
Find and fix critical bugs in core apps and their dependencies
Identify, record and fix gaps in functionality
Get new developers involved in Core Apps and Ubuntu Touch development in general
Have fun with Ubuntu App Development!
How the Hack Days will work
The Ubuntu Core Apps Hack Days will be run as virtual hackfests on the #ubuntu-app-devel IRC channel on Freenode
Everyone is free to join the channel and encouraged to pick a task related to the set of goals to get core apps to a dogfoodable state
The development and testing tasks will be posted on the Hack Days wiki before each day’s hackfest starts
Ask Michael Hall (mhall119), David Planella (dpm) or Alan Pope (popey) on the channel for any help when you join (or just say hi!)
When
Starting on Wednesday 10th of July until Thursday 25th of July
From 9:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC
We’ll be following this schedule:
10 July - Calendar
11 July - Music
12 July - Clock
15 July - Calculator
16 July - Weather
17 July - Sudoku Touch
18 July - RSS Reader
19 July - File Manager
22 July - Document Viewer
23 July - Terminal
24 July - Dropping Letters
25 July - Stock Ticker
Join us!
Participating in the Hack Days is extremely easy: you just need a working Internet connection and access to IRC. We simply recommend some preparation beforehand:
Learn how to get started developing core apps
Join the #ubuntu-app-devel IRC channel on Freenode
Looking forward to seeing you next Wednesday at the Calendar hackfest!

Help shaping up Ubuntu Touch by joining the core apps development teams
Community-driven apps that will power the next million phones
The Ubuntu Core Apps project started as an initiative born out of the initial Ubuntu Touch announcement, with a call to our community to participate in building the core set of applications which will be considered for shipping on Ubuntu phones.
With this, we started an exciting project that provides a unique opportunity for community members to create Free Software that could run on millions of handsets.
If you’re running Ubuntu Touch on a device, you can already see the results of the work our amazing volunteer developers have been doing: Calculator, Clock, Calendar, Weather, Terminal, File Manager… these apps and more are part of this project. Together with the Canonical designers and other community designers, we’ve also got a solid UX and design story for our applications.
In essence, each core app development team organizes their work and time in the way that works best for them, where the Canonical Community, Design and Engineering teams participate in several different areas:
Development infrastructure
Engineering management
Community mentorship and support
Design guidance
With this post I’d like to share how any developer can contribute to core apps and join the core dev teams. It’s not only an opportunity to shape up Ubuntu Touch, but also to work in a truly open development environment, with the best Open Source developers and designers out there!
Participating in the core apps project
Getting started to contributing to core apps is just a few minutes away. Here are some really easy steps for developers to get all set up.

[SHARE][APP][2.0+] Phonechievements

Note : I'm just sharing the work of the XDA Member slackydroid.This app was tested on this device and it was working fine.Here's a little introduction by him :
slackydroid said:
Phonechievements is back
Phonechievements (latest version 1.35)
About
Phonechievements brings achievements to the mobile phone. For those who are gamers the concept isn't new, for those who are not, achievements are just rewards you get for accomplishing a goal. You don't get an actual prize, it's just a form of reward that you get in writing. Moreover, this app allows you to brag on Facebook with them (for now).
Open the app and navigate through the list. Each achievement has a description on how you can unlock it. Want to let everyone know how you master the phone? Share on Facebook the unlocked achievements. Just open the app and go to the achievement and a Facebook logo button will allow you to do that.
With each update new features and of course new phonechievements will be added.
If you like the idea and want to help me improve or have any suggestions for new achievements, please check it out.
The app is available for Android 2.0+. If you find any issues please let me know so I can fix them.
Thank you.

IMPORTANT

Useful implementation! Most of apps are correctly open in foreground in the smartphone/tablet after a shake.
It works fine to toggle device connections. Yes, some bugs like transfer clipboard
Good job at the moment

Yes I will squash some bugs and new implementation with Shake next week. New preview with Google Play and LG AppWorld might come next weekend.
By the way, any testers on JB? I do have devices on KitKat and Lollipop devices but no prehistoric Android versions...
Alright guys after dozens of commits and thousands of lines in code, most of the app is done. Right now only couple of stuff is pending. So apologies but I won't be releasing another preview it will be delayed till release date.
You can check my progress on G+ with some of its teases also a brand new community has been created. This thread and specially the OP will be cleansed soon too.
See you!
Everything is finished and ready for the next phase in the competition! The app is already in the play store and is being reviewed on the LG Appworld but there's no ETA. Please check the Original Post for extra information. Also please don't hesitate to join the community and help us by translating it to your main language!
By the way bear in mind that soon you'll be able to choose your favorite app, so stay HubToDate!
