App Idea...But no knowledge of how to build it...

Hi all.

So my mobile provider offers mobile data and what they call "socializer" data too. My current plan is 1.25gb of mobile and 1gb of socializer data. I know that you can set data caps on data so you don't exceed you monthly usage but I had an idea of an app that you can set data limits in and once that limit is reach only selected apps will use mobile data.

I know that IFTT is a very powerful app but didn't see anyway of cooking up such a recipe. Is there a way to do this with IFTT or is there any other app available that already does this? If so I haven't managed to find it. If I knew anything about app development I would be creating an app to do this myself but I know nothing of android development or app development.

Any one keen to have a go at creating an app like this or maybe tell me how I might go about developing this idea into a functional app??

Cheers all

Developer ROM + SuperSu Root + Custom TWRP Recovery + google apps
Download these:
- mi note pro developer rom (full ROM pack) from http://en.miui.com/download-273.html or from a mirror in the second post
- copy the zip to your device (dont extract the zip)

- twrp.img from https://mega.nz/#!q40WWSIB!tZN38HAzp...UPaIZkxt3Bfiak
- copy the img file to your device

- opengapps in the configuration: ARM64 > 5.1 > nano from here: http://opengapps.org/
- copy opengapps zip to your device (don't extract the zip)

Then:

1. flash developer rom via updater app (click menu > choose update package > select downloaded rom zip)


2. wait until rom is completely flashed and phone reboots automatically


3. install super su from google play, start it, allow root access, let it install super su binary via normal mode


4. install flashify from google play, start it and grant root access

Important: You permanently flashed TWRP recovery, so the MIUI Updater app will not work.

Reboot to TWRP recovery (hold power + volume up button) and install the downloaded full ROM zip.
