[Moto G5 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Moto G5 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Again smooth scrolling - unless you throw the kitchen sink at it you won't be disappointed
[Moto G5 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Moto G5 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

[Moto G5 Real Life Review] TheFixItMan:
This maybe the one letdown - when charging or doing something intensive the phone can get very hot
[Moto G5 Real Life Review] bookworth:
Great, you just killed the little we had in this forum.
[Moto G5 Real Life Review] jib@rmi.ge:
It happened to me a couple of weeks ago - with friends we were trying out Hypernom, a vr app for walking in a non-euclidean space. Then we put the vr headset with the phone aside to discuss the experiences. After a while the phone rang, I got a call. I took it out to answer, and nearly had an earburn - the beast was seriously hot! It just continued generating the real time stereo, without even having to move it, and from that it became so hot it really did hurt my ear.
[Moto G5 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Moto G5's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

[Moto G5 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto G5 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).

[Moto G5 Real Life Review] p8tgames:
Not good. Gets a little weird.
[Moto G5 Real Life Review] MultiPDev:
Moto G5 takes good shots, I compared it to the Moto G4 and it's way more sharp. Contrast is ok. Low light, not bad for the price. Struggles to focus sometimes though. I also compared it to the G4 plus, and the latter is much better, you can really see the difference.

So, to sum it up, pretty decent camera for the price.
[Moto G5 Real Life Review] dtonshel:
The pictures it takes are okay for an inexpensive phone, but the images are not particularly sharp, and the HDR mode isn't very natural looking.

Clicking burst shots

Clickung burst shots by clicking volume down continues ly
[Moto G5 Real Life Review] w4r3zgod:
To be honest, I'm not disappointed, but they could've done better. With the G6 Play. Because my G5, is better in every way, so at the end of the day, whats the point of a G6 Play?

The camera shots are decent for a cheap phone (got it for £35 with speaker issues, fixed already =] ) the camera is exactly the same as the G6 Play if not better. The colours look more natural, sharp and clear on the 1080p IPS display, and the device feels more premium due to the metal backplate.
[Moto G5 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Moto G5 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

I wonder how does open source developers meets and work together :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
I decided to give this initiative a fighting chance so I am going to 'sticky' this thread for one week.

If there are no takers I will 'unsticky' it.

Unfortunately, I do not currently have time to take part in this project my self as I am learning to program for Linux and OpenMoko specifically.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
They don't, they start by making something, small, runnable, interresting, then share it, with the source.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
This is more than i could expect from this forum. Thanks a lot.

This is a try to bring many great people in this forum and to develop something great for the forum.

Projects mentioned in this thread is just for start.

People can give their own new ideas so all work together and make something great for all the forum users.

i have no other intentions to start this thread other then bringing all together.

Starting this thread i thought i will also put my skills to help new guys.

Thanks again, and i hope this works out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] simplicity05:
Here's a project idea that came up in the herald forums - use your touchscreen as a psudo-wacom tablet while tethered. Yes it would only be on/off and wouldn't sense pressure differences, but would still make for a cool project.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nstamoul:
Heared of Android?

I guess you have heared about android,an all open-source linux based platform.And about the total of 10M bounty by Google as an award for the top 50 applications tha will be developed for the platform.So I'm guessing any developers with the skills to do such projects will have their hands full.

After all it sould be reasonably easyer to programm for an all opensource platform than for WM,a closed source platform.

Just my 2 cents.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
Count the number of applications developed in this forum by everyone for so called 'closed source platform of wm6'

I do agree with your thoughts and dont say you are wrong, but hey thats a whole different ball game.

Always remember

When a company runs out of concepts, then company organises a competition with great prices. At the end company gets thousands of new concepts. winner gets the price, company gets new product.

same thing happens in open source world as well as close sourced.

If all think in this direction then i can bet, xda will run out of members.

not trying to defend, but this is something which simply cannot be debated or this is not a right place.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
Then lets make something small, runnable, interresting, and share with the whole world!

It was very dificult to find this kind of groups, thats the reason internet became so famouse, where we can find different people with great skills from different country and make things possible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shandar:
As for the file indexer, would it be an idea to have it index when the phone is charging then pause it as soon as the charger is unplugged? Since indexing is a _very_ cpu intensive process it will probably drain the battery pretty quickly on the go. Downside is that it wouldn't be instantaneous but if you're anything like me you transfer most files to your phone when it is connected to you laptop/charger anyway.

I'm tempted to give the file indexer thingie a go but I havent done any coding for Windows Mobile in ages so Im probably better off leaving it for someone else.

Edit: Thinking about it for a bit, how about just storing all the indexed data in a way other apps can use? Have an indexing app and an sql server then let the app connect to the sql server when looking for eg music files. Instead of having the audio manager/pocketmelody search through your memory card which takes several minutes it could just query the sql server for music files and have the list in less than a second. Camera Album could do the same thing (maybe the indexer can generate thumbs for images? that would speed the album up a lot but how much diskspace would be needed?). On the other hand I dont see that many other uses for this, what other apps would gain from having a centralised SQL db of all files?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
This are indeed a good ideas:

1. As you mentioned Index files when connected to charger/usb (this can/may be auto initiated as well, else it may consume battery power which is true.)

2. Create a database which all other applications can use to connect and query. For this feature i think there needs to be some kind of database password which can be provided to other applications when they need access or we trust them, else any application can mess the database.

SQL or Access both can be used.

Database should not consume more than couple of MB's, say less than 5 to 10 mb (correct me if i am wrong anyone).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
Added project no. 5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mort:
How is that supposed to work without having the system sourcecode? Or is this only for those who work for hardware manurfacturers? They're also the only ones who could publish the necessary ROM files...

Why a database for Tic Tac Toe? Count of wins/loses? Even for that, a simple text file would be sufficent.

There's a good reason most Today plugins are quite static: You don't want CPU hogs running all the time. A scrolling text would need a thread that constantly invalidates the marquee rectangle.

Something similar exists in MortSetup, which is currently used only for MortPlayer, but thought for a much more general setting handling. In the current version, you can backup and restore a given registry tree (with exceptions) and unicode text files.

Currently its source isn't puplished, but I planned to do it anyway...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
For query 1, i have a question, can we not monitor each and every file change done on ppc?

For query 2, Yes database for scores, but yes text or xml file fits the best.

For query 3, any other way or options to acheive this either by self activating it, and it finishes one scroll round with all udates.?

For query 4, cannot comment!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mort:
Not that I know of. But maybe there's a hack I don't know...

But even if, it'd probably slow down most devices way too much.

Besides, it surely won't recognize if you use a card reader to copy files to a storage card (usually way faster than ActiveSync...).

Doesn't sound very comfortable. If you'd have to tap something anyway, a popup window would be the quicker, more comfortable, and easier to implement solution.

Another way might be a linewise "scrolling" like phoneAlarm's info line. That'd take an additional thread, too, but it could sleep most of the time (and thus not cost too much CPU).

Let me an my pet request - digital photoframe screensaver for phones like the HTC Tilt, using UPnP and nice animation effects, to run when the phone is docked.

Surur
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
Thanks, its never possible whithout all of you guys.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
Will it be possible for you to elborate more on this idea?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
You need to elaborate more on this, may be with some example, as not all are familiar with WACOM
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Goatmaster:
I imagine simplicity05 means use the screen of the phone like a wacom tablet, IE you draw on the phone and it draws on the connected computer. I already solved this problem by getting a tablet pc ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] acc0101:
Support

Although I am not a developer , I fully support such kind of " Charity" for all of us. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
Hmmm. We need a good drivers programmer for this i guess.

Yes can make a good project, but trying to figure out the amount of people will use it and for what.

Also what all other can be built from this code, i mean how useful it may be for all in learning or using code.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] The Dutchman:
Already possible, Just Remote access your pc:)

Worked for me, drawing in Illustrator CS3
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mugglesquop:
i like this idea, if we had a program that was a screensaver of sorts, not that it would be doing much saving :p It could just scroll through a folder of pictures (set folder and time etc in options?) with nice slide effects, or random effects.... nice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
Yes but that may require some knowledge of network configuration i guess.

It may have limited options as you have to connect through your usb cable.

For the one who know to connect to same network can use RDP (remote desktop) or VNC and use stylus to draw.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
Sounds good and it reminds me of, after docking Russell Peter starts cracking joke :cool: kidding.

This idea is great and if developed some one can use the code, for auto initiating any application in phone once docked or connected to usb.

Not too productive but i am sure some one can use it for some sync applications as well which will be great tool for business use or other uses.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mugglesquop:
Bluetooth tablet would be nice :)

yeh docking...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Yannn:
i'am intersting a lot if it will develop in java !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
I doubt, but once all coders are here then all can decide on how to go.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mort:
If you're to migrate the J2SE virtual machine to Windows Mobile, sure... ;)

So far, there are just some 3rd party J2ME VMs, so you could as well write midlets for any other cell phone...

(Well, OK, maybe it might work with J# and .NET compact framework. But C# probably would still be the better choice...)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] utak3r:
Ha, great idea :D

Personally, I'd like to take a part, but... definitely don't have any spare time these days. So, maybe later... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mugglesquop:
why Java???

Is it just me or has this thread turned into a wishlist? Probably should focus on a few ideas and see if they are possible to make instead of just spamming the thread with "Ooooh, I want this" "Yeah, and I want this" "Make this for me kthxbai!"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greenhacks:
You are very much correct, even i noticed, but the reason i am not doing anything is because still there are not enough coders available to start something and then focus on it primarily.

Till then let new ideas be welcomed, might be useful to make them as a project themself whose code then can be used for different projects in same category.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] surur:
The Tilting screen of the Tilt is perfect for running desktop widgets, like a clock or PC status, or a My Pictures screen saver.

Most of the better digital photo frames can connect via Universal Plug and Play and render your pictures on your computer into a nice slide show. There is no real reason why this wont work on WM either, and with the nice animation effects we are seeing in Pictureflow and Flowtest it could really look like something special, if done well.

The phone can connect over WIFI or USB network, but USB would be ideal, as the phone would then also be charged at the same time.

It will turn our Kaisers into better desktop executive toys ;)

Re the wishlist part, maybe people can add their preferred apps, and then we could later vote for the top 3 to focus on?

Surur

Hi all,

I am a Radio Engineer but not good at program and usually used the phone to test the Mobile network. Can add a new project like fieldtest but add more function on it ? just like Nokia Net Monitor ? thanks !!! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mugglesquop:
had a thought today, what about a program which changes the Today background depending on Time/Weather or something else... Would be a nice thing to have :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] seanpu1:
Can i suggest the thread then be renamed along the lines of "wish list"?

Lets build opensource isn't exactly an inspiring title to a thread of ideas. Personally it actually drives me away. I've only read it cos I'm bored.

In fact your agenda with this thread, IMO, is somewhat dubious. Its your only post as a member of this forum and your contribution is squarely aimed at free software / gaining ideas. If its ideas you want, say so. If its free software you want, say so. dont hide behind some community concepts. Most software developers (like myself) make either free, donationware or opensource software anyway without some noob like you and I requesting it.

Unless this thread is renamed to something more appropriate I have voted for it to be unstuck. It does not rate anywhere near the worthiness of other sticky threads. Its had its run. No real worthy response. Unstick please.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mugglesquop:
agreed ^^^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Salz`:
cause i started an TicTacToe as my initial project for WindowsMobile development. Here some Screenshots. Hopefully i can release it in the near future :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] o2neouzr:
instead of posting 6 different projects, why not just start with one? and you should have started coding the software before even making a thread like this because it just seems like you want to group up a bunch of people to make free software for you. at least thats what it looks like to me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] seanpu1:
So, can we unsticky this thread please? It brings a bitter taste to my mouth.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] evilc:
I agree. However, I DO think that there is a place for an "I want this" thread, though for me Open Source is not a requirement. I think there are lots of ideas out there, and somewhere to present these ideas would be nice. I think a Forum in it's own right may even be warranted - that way we could have individual threads for each idea and maybe a vote (ie "Would you buy this - yes/no?") on each thread to give authors an inclination of how much potential market there is for each idea.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] seanpu1:
i like the idea, a forum for ideas, which can then be migrated to developer forum. nice!! got my vote

(please unsticky this thread!!!!)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LarryWMSN:
How about libraries?

Instead of starting with large projects, I think it could be more useful to come up with code libraries or application frameworks first. This would allow developers skip a lot of the tedious parts of creating applications.

I think that animation/transitions, gesture, button mapping and other similar libraries would get a lot of developers going.

It would be great if they could be developed in the various languages too: C#, C++ and VB.net.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] evilc:
Probably true also. I can code in various languages, but have no PPC experience. If there were some libraries to do most of the stuff for me, I just had to pick what I wanted to do and bolt it together, I may be interested in trying my hand at a bit of dev myself. I am pretty certain that the vertical gesture scrolling contacts list today plugin I am trying to find / have made would actually be quite easy to do.

I started an app request post here with a vote as to whether people would be interested in paying for such an app - this is the kind of format I think we should have a forum for.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KonikBujany:
Forget about C++. These projects really doesn't need speed. More important is to make clear code. It's better to use C# but ...

.. have you repository for your work ? Without Subversion or other version control system you can't work together.

I'm really interested in open source projects but in other areas such as GPS utilising, XMPP communication etc. Is there anybody with the same interestings ?
