The menu still needs a lot of work, it's far from done, like most things in the game.

I don't have any plans to make it open source as the code isn't extremely tidy (although it is well commented if anyone were to ever help me on it).
But if you wanted to take a look, I'd be fine to show you, I can give you repository access.

Wow it's a great job for your first beta ! I remember the taikosanjiro game that was really buggy on the android :lol:
Can't wait for a stable version of it ! :3
But I've got an HTC Desire, so shitty touchscreen :cry:

Testing with Samsung Epic 4G:

Game crashes during refreshing if you start with a gigantic songs folder :P

Rarely got any songs to sync properly, but thats to be expected with an alpha stage project.

Skip button stays there throughout the entire song, and pressing anywhere on the top of the screen (not just the skip button) causes the song to "skip" to the start point of the song.

Were you playing a song that actually had a skip button? because I'm pretty sure it happened to everyone song I played that needed a skip button.

yup. although, if I don't skip, the button just stays there even while playing, and upon touching it goes to the beginning p:

Looks fun, i'll have to get it when all the kinks are worked out.

Also regarding to the front post: "HTC devices also suck, your touchscreens miss rapid touch events, tough."
My HTC EVO never does anything like this when I play stepmania / random games that require rapid tapping (Like tap so many times to charge something)

I've never got to the bottom of it, it happened on my Desire HD and whatever peppy tested on too.
If you write a simple piece of code to output taps and their count in debugger and tap various rhythms at various speeds, some taps will be missed. It really does seem like a hardware issue.
Doesn't happen at all on any other devices AFAIK

There are a few little bugs that I wanna point out (Not sure if this has been pointed out already because im to lazy to read back.)

1: TaikOsu maps that have 1/4th kick back sliders which should show up as kkk (or any other pattern) but instead they show up as short drum rolls.
2: After leaving TaikOsu, lets say I start up another up which has the average black screen loading time, the T-Aiko main screen is there until the app itself loads. (I used appkiller to end T-Aiko to see if this issue would fix but regardless that main screen was still there)

Slider ticks are fixed now (they appear same as in osu! taiko mode), although still all sliders in osu! mode appear as sliders in T-Aiko. We will work on making sliders of total length shorter than 2 beats to become dons and kats instead (like osu! taiko mode).

It sounds like an excuse and I hate saying things like this, but I think this is out of my control. Its up to android what is shown while a new app is loading, and this has never happened to me on my phone, so It's likely to be to do with whatever phone provider/manufacture skin of android you have.

If you give me some phone details, I can try it out in emulator, but that's about all I can do. Things like model, android OS version, maybe carrier.

@Guy-kun: Russia, Ukraina, Serbia/macedonia, not so multiple at all. There are not more countrys who use cyrillic in this way. So please don't say it makes no sense. lol
Anyway, I just said, I was wondering that srbija is also involved in this project. Good luck with this nice project.

place them on your SD-card in /T-aiko/Songs (place .osz files here or beatmap directories)

Yep, this was already on my todo list, sorry that it wasn't done already.
I'll detect the osu!droid directory and ask if you want to use it's songs folder next version.

In the meantime, if you like, you can move your maps into the T-Aiko songs folder and set the osu!droid folder manually to point to it (since it already has this functionality)

Oh dear, I installed it on my Thunderbolt and it was going great, but the longer I played the more it lagged until everything pretty much froze and it took 5 minutes to even exit out of it.

What map was this?
This is extremely surprising since it runs smoothly on MUCH weaker phones, including the pitiful android emulator.

If your phone has trouble exiting something, it's most likely to do with your OS.

Well, it wasn't just the exiting. I was going good, but then I noticed my presses were lagging a bit and little by little over the map it got worse until the frame rate dropped and it was jumping ahead randomly and the feedback was the same. So I paused to exit and it took a few mins to even get out of T-aiko. Once I closed it and started back up it was fine though, I am afraid to try it again though haha. The music kept going perfectly fine though.

Very odd, sounds like something was going on with your phone if anything, tell me if it does carry on happening, could circumstances of some sort.
I tested all the difficulties on that map and they were perfectly fine, so the map isn't to blame.

Well I tried another diff. and same problem, tried another couple maps and they worked fine, dunno why that map hates me but oh well. Other than that seems solid, the red center drum hits are incredibly unresponsive for me though, if I hit near the outer half it doesn't always take it and if I use 2 fingers or thumbs it doesn't read the taps fast enough, and if I go to a certain speed of tapping it just doesn't accept any of it. (Blue hits were perfect and worked for as fast as I was able to tap though which is why it seems odd)

Are you definitely sure that blue hits work fine? I used to have a similar issue when I had a HTC Desire HD and struggled to no end with it, testing it in every way, it turned out that the phone was just not registering rapid successive taps sometimes (especially in a certain rhythm, it'd miss a touch or two every so often).
I've never heard of this on any other device than HTC phones.

I tested this by logging raw touch events after tapping a rhythm I knew involved a certain number of touches and finding some were missing.

Shame about that map for you... Worked fine for me <:

Yep, I was tapping blues as fast as I could to see if it worked and they were firing about as fast as I stream on standard and registering just fine. The red on the other hand will not work that way and actually seem to get slower in response to me going faster. More than 1 finger absolutely screws with it. If my camera wasn't my phone I'd show you what it's doing heh. It is possibly due to the blues being on opposite sections of the screen, while the drum for red is center, the multi-touch might be reading them as one press, unsure though.

If you're curious enough to find out, I could give you a debug build with blue/red swapped (as confusing as this would be) to see if it really is regions of the screen that have trouble?

This would be a bad idea.
By Android application fundamentals, you do not 'quit' your app. You send it to the background and let the OS handle clearing the memory when it is needed. You waste more battery force killing your apps rather than letting Android do so when the memory needs to be claimed by something else. (This is an interesting topic if you read up on it, the more you know)

The game is entirely inactive in the background and presents no notifications so there is no purpose in a 'quit' button. The home button is there for suspending apps.

Well, at least exiting to the home screen or terminating the application when hitting back button on the device when you are in the main menu of T-Aiko would be better? Like other applications.

Score system(combo bonus or gogo-time bonus or something?), barlines, gekki-renta or spinner or something like that... More to improve, I guess?

Some issues I've met until now.(I'm using Samsung Galaxy S2 and I don't have SD card.):
- The application got error when trying to read files in songs folder with USB storage mode enabled.
- Some songs got duplicated when refreshing after modifying the song folder manually.
- Removed songs never got removed in the song list after ^ happens. Currently my db is screwed up.
- No lead-in, and this bothers me quite a lot in some maps.
- Significant delay between hitting the Taiko and acutal effect of it. (This is a rhythm game, you know.)

Well, that delay (or lag, whatever you call it) issue is quite annoying. Can't play somewhat hard maps due to that. Offset settings were ok when I check auto-play. (I also have an iPad with Taiko no Tatsujin for iOS installed and I know even that app have slight delay, but not that significantly affects gameplay. Can FC even some maps with high note-density like Kurenai with that thing.)

I think I've experienced multi-touch issue too. Maybe due to small screen and relatively small taiko drum.

...Yeah, still lot more to go, but at least this may be a good application for playing Taiko in Android before Namco notices it lol.
