Here is a little one I did a while ago. Just to get some idea. I was thinking of something sort of like the Facebook app. Maybe someone else can put together something better?

For the app, I was thinking that it would be very helpful if you could post screenshots directly from device. Not sure if it was mentioned yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktemkin:
I don't think a mockup will be neccesary- I'm designing this in C#, after all, which has a visual form designer- designing the interface will probably only take slightly longer than making a mockup, and will be much more realistic.

Did some work on the backend last night- I have what I think to be a working login solution (letting the /device/ handle the POST requests to the server in some cases, removing the need to send the pass to a third party). The HttpWebRequest class on the .NET framework is kind of finnicky, though, so I'll have to spend a few more hours smoothing out the bugs in that before I can actually get started on threadview.

Optimistically, I'll have screenshots of the working threadview by the end of the week. I'll post more on my progress when I'm not posting from my phone; I'm just about to start a shift at work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
Yea, let's restrain from making the mockup's right now. If you made something revolutionary though, just PM ktemkin, and maybe he'll create the interface based off of it. Otherwise, there's no need for the rest of us to see the mockups.

I can't wait to see some screenshots of the real version!! (I can't believe this is happening!)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DatDereX1:
hella sweet bro
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] krook6023:
Happy day! Let me know if you need a very excited beta tester!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greeneyemonstruo:
I'm in for $15. Willing to test if needed!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
Awesome! Bounty: $125

I should be able to promise some $$ soon. XDA has been SLOW recently, maybe they're working on the mobile stuff?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktemkin:
Okay, I just finished the cookie-handling scheme for login. A lot more work than it sounds like (and should have been) considering the .NET framework has built in cookie-handling functions. Of course, they didn't see fit to put those in the compact framework, so I naturally have to reinvent the wheel.

I'll put more work into this tomorrow, maybe, depending when I can get off work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aiden-Athena:
How decidedly curious. The sheer awesomeness of the idea made me forget the immense difficulties of actual implementation for a few minutes, and all sorts of possibilities scrolled through my mind (uniqueboy, I understand the workings of an excited imagination! :) )

I cannot donate any money (daughter + investments, you guys get the idea), but I am wiling to help beta test as much as the next guy. I can only stress the importance of how streamlined and efficient the code must be, because I don't think people would want to see an obvious difference between using 3G/HSDPA or Wi-Fi to access the forum app (i am having plenty of headaches with the FB app and 3G here in my part of the world).

ktemkin, I see you know your tools well and know how to use them, and I wish you all the best, good sir.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3it3r:
I'm in for $15 if it's not limited to XDA vbulletin forums. I'd like to be able to communicate with other vBulletin sites with it. Maybe even have a server side product that can get installed on vBulletin sites in order to facilitate some of the features specific to XDA?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
Idk if that's possible.

Developer, could that be done? I don't wanna put him on the bounty if it's impossible or improbable.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blauze:
Why not do like me...

http://xdaforums.com/external.php?type=rss2&forumIds=260

at least it's usable. What kind of features you guys thinking of?

i'm thinking doing a CPanel for it, maybe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
Did u read through the first post? I have the planned features, benefits, etc. on there. Plz read it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktemkin:
Okay, seems I'm going to be having a busy weekend, so I probably won't be able to get any more work in on this until Tuesday or Wednesday. I might be able to have a few screenshots available about then, though.

Right now I'm designing for QVGA, but the design is 'scalable' so all I'd need to create a VGA version would be to make higher-resolution icons.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3it3r:
Why not? The APP would just be accessing the database based on the permissions of the logged in user. I'm sure that if the app is designed with the ability to change the default sites and user login information it wouldn't be hard to use it for another site.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktemkin:
Here's the trouble with supporting more than one vBulletin site: everyone has different themes. There are two main methods of retrieving information:

1) Mining: An external server/application reads data from the forums, using the archived versions, fully rendered pages, and RSS feeds.

Advantage: Doesn't require any server-side module to be installed on the site in quesiton; can grow and change independent of the server-side module.

Disadvantage: Data mining is dependent on the PHP-rendered pages, so things like theme, version, etc. all play an important part in the development of the application. Thus, a piece of software that works on one vB board may not work on another.

2) Communication: the target server (in this case, xda-developers) sets up a script designed to pass on the data required to the device, as well as handle login and sessions from the device.

Advantage: Faster, almost always. Less data sent to/from the device; data is much more customized. Scripts tend to be easily portable between different vB installations.

Disadvantage: Requires server-side implementation by the target site, which is usually a deal-breaker, especially as the server-side piece has to be tested and integrated with a live system. Systems integration is a nightmare where live systems are concerned, unless the methods are completely tried and true.

In the end, it really depends on what the XDA admins want to do; the code I've written so far is based on the mining method.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
Yea, so it'd be tough for other vBulletin forums to work with the app. I'll postpone putting you up on the donation thread then.

Dude, ktemkin, you're doing some awesome work on this! Keep it up!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bijdehandje:
Is it me or have the admins made vBulletin working on XDA. I noticed it yesterday. :confused:

The onloy thing i cannot access is CP
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktemkin:
Okay, still not much more work done on it, as I've actually been pouring through the HTC Sensor API hoping to get some ideas for another of my projects.

I'll be posting updates to my website (ktemkin.com) later this week when I have more significant progress, including screenshots and etc.

In the meantime, does anyone have suggestions for a kinetic scrolling algorithm? Right now I'm using realistic physics (i.e. touching one's finger to the screen decelerates scrolling instead of stopping it instantaneously, moving one's finger in the opposite direction 'grabs' the screen), but I'm not sure what users most prefer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] uniqueboy:
Hi ktemkim, my personal favourite type of kinetic scrolling was the type used in point ui 1, I never got into 2, but basically the way it worked was that a list would scroll in the direction of a finger slide and keep scrolling untill the finger was released. The speed of scrolling was relative to the distance the finger was moved and you could also flick a list up or down. So in a long list of say programs I could slide my finger from any point on the screen downwards just a little and the list would scroll down slowly untill I released my finger. If I slid my finger form the top of the screen to the bottom the list would scroll very quickly right to the bottom of the list. Well I liked it any way! I don't much like to finger scroll through long lists with several flicks with a tap to stop a list as it is very easy to go past the item I was looking for and sometimes a tap to stop can be confused for a tap to select, I seem to have this problem a lot with resco explorer, also sometimes when I slide it thinks I am making a multiple selection.

It would be nice if you were to implement some kind of gesture recognition, imagine just write cp on the screen with your finger and it takes you there, or maybe some invisible buttons in the corners of the screen (back, forward, home etc.) and a way of showing a list of all downloads which are posted in a thread being viewed would be useful when cab hunting through long winded threads.:)

Looking forward to whatever you give us and thanks for taking this on.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] krook6023:
@ktemkin I just checked out your site...very cool. Thanks for your hard work!

@ace10134 With ktemkin’s permission you should update the first post with some of the info on the developers site (i.e. the graphic & write up). We have a serious developer working on this now….such an update might encourage a higher bounty and add to the general excitement.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3it3r:
I run a couple vBulletin sites that I'd be happy to work with you on :cool:

Seriously, if you could do a version that would directly tie into any site with the plugin via username/password and native vbulletin permissions, I'm sure I could find a way to make your bounty SIGNIFICANTLY higher. vBulletin is one of the most popular pieces of software on the internet and I can tell you from an admin's perspective that a mobile version that would operate like a native app would be KILLER. (even better if it were cross-platform of coure ;) )

The data mining aspect is cool too though. Would you be releasing the code after your bounty is fulfilled?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
I LOVED the PointUI v 1 scrolling too!! We should have a vote on that.

And I'm gonna update the first post really soon...First post updated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sc00basteve:
I wish

I would wait and only use a WM6.5 widget version. It seems so much more powerful a platform.

So I'll wait till you crazies get ahold of the SDK :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
I wouldn't. There's gonna be a bunch of users that only have 6.1, or even 6.0. Heck, people still use 5.0. Making a 6.5 only app will decrease the userbase greatly, and that decreases the bounty.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] uniqueboy:
And then there will be 7...wm7 that is.:)

A today plugin would be good though and a tf3d tab and a mobile shell widget.:D

Seriously though I was banging on about scrolling and invisible buttons on screen and I totally forgot about all the non touch screen users we have here!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bijdehandje:
There is no SDK available for 6.5. Only the DTK is available. The SDK for 6.1 can be used for 6.5 and on top of that for gestures api's and stuff the DTK for 6.5 can be installed. The DTK for 6.5 can be downloaded

HERE
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktemkin:
The SDK for 6.5 is actually the same as the SDK for 6.0/6.1, with a Developers Toolkit package which adds a couple of APIs (gesture-related) and emulator images. Google 'WM 6.5 SDK', you'll find the DTK available from Microsoft.

As for using the 6.5 controls (Widgets are GTK concept, they're slightly different than controls), they're pretty much (read: exactly) the same as the 6.0 controls- considering they're provided*, in my case, by the .NET framework. It's the OS that actually handles the way they're different- by adding touch scrolling capabilities to normal (i.e. scrollbar) driven applications.

*really, they're provided by the OS, but the .NET framework acts as an API wrapper

Theoretically, a program that's designed to run on 5/6/etc would be able to take advantage of 6.5's touch scrolling capabilities, but only under 6.5 itself. In order to not alienate a large percentage of the market, it'd be necessary to manually implement kinetic scrolling.

As for touchscreen-less devices (smartphones), the interface will probably feel a lot less organic, but should be supported. Invisible buttons can still exist- one just needs to associate them with a soft or keyboard key. Even on devices with touchscreens, it's nice to have hard-key operation sometimes.

[Edit]Apparently was beaten to the chase. Oh, well.[/edit]
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
I didn't read this:

"Should we ban all other program development in order to focus on the XDA-Dev App?"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
muahahahhhhaaa!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktemkin:
Yeah, that does a pretty good job of leaving a bad taste in one's mouth, and scaring away developers.

Anyways, I'll have a pretty little update on status for you guys soon, hopefully with screenshots!

Update: modifying my UI to work with something I found earlier called 'Fluid'; will see how that turns out and post back to you guys.

Update 2: Fluid is miserable to work with. It's built on a model that defies the standard way things work, there's like no documentation, and the implementations are uncommented, and buggy. I may not use it.. it just looks so nice.

Update 3: I'll decide if I'm going to use Fluid or not tomorrow. I spent a whole night coding tonight, so I may be able to get a technology preview (read: pre-alpha) out with only a few more days of coding. Unfortunately for the project (but fortunately for me), I have a life, so those days may not exactly be consecutive.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

Sorry for my last post, it's that I got a little scared - since my project (Nitrogen) is basically hosted here.

Anyway, thanks for the great job! I'll certainly use the app when it's ready because Internet Explorer and Opera (for WM) are not handy to answer topics on the forum.

And, by the way, considering that the project is freeware, you're doing us a big favor dedicating your time to it.

Thanks again, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] acidbath5546:
Yes...Thank You

Thank you so much for taking your freetime up working on this project.

I want to add 10 $$ to the bounty for a WVGA version.

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktemkin:
Hopefully, if all goes well, the software will be completely dynamically sized and rendered; it won't give a damn if you're WVGA. The graphics I've put in so far are all VGA-quality (double DPI) and are automatically down-scaled to QVGA.

I suppose eventually I'll build a QVGA-only version with smaller images to save memory- which I'll test/modify as needed on my old Wizard.

I'm probably going to stick with a Opera UI, where the application is fullscreen until you hit a button and display the toolbars and buttons. I'll get out screenshots as soon as I have something pretty to give you guys. (I'm concerned with functionality first.)

As for whoever asked if the project would be open-source... of course it will. I never have understood withholding the source to a freeware project.

I have this and then a sensor interface project coming up, and if I'm not thoroughly tired after all of that, I might think of making an APT-compatible package manager for Windows Mobile, using CAB packages instead of DEB packages.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
Bounty Updated.

Enjoy your summer, developer. (I still gotta learn what ur username is, but I'll call you "developer" for now)

And Hi to the Nitrogen guy! I love that app, it's a great music player.

And back to our developer, it's great to hear that you're starting with the code first and the functionality, instead of starting with the interface. That's awesome. I don't mind waiting for some screenshots as long as you say it's actually working soon!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] acidbath5546:
nice...

Thanks....lookk forward to some pics...

I agree with the Opera UI...the tolbar aspects seem to fit perfectly with it.

I wonder about user customization...

Whether or not it will save password and log in....allow PM views and responses....maybe even allow user to access their CP as well....although this is not a priority, well accept the log in factor...

Whats ur plans for downloading? I think that instead of just downloading thru the app...perhaps and option to hit link and open via Opera....so kinda like a "ink" file embedded in the app...that can be added and customized, depending on opera build, so perhaps its a right click on the xda download, allows 2 choices...

Hmmmm this would actually be nice....

Im rambling...lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
Don't make it open Opera just to download! Please! Opera is a memory hog! Then it'll end up closing the awesome XDApp just to open Opera, I don't want that. Download via IE, if anything.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] acidbath5546:
How you use IE and get anything done is amazing to me....LOL

Well im sure we can agree to disagree...

At least i didnt ask for that pile of crap Fennec beta...lol....

I was just wondering if he could, as an option, and it wouldnt have to close the app at all...

U could just as easlily hit ur task manager and return to the app....it would still be running...

:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktemkin:
The initial version will probably just contain basic link handling, where a link falls into one of the following categories:

Internal XDA Link: Process inside the app.

Internal XDA Download (Attachments): Process inside the app. See note for browser complications.

External Link: Open default browser, or select a custom browser in preferences or by right-clicking.

External Download (direct):Use internal downloader (possibly via a compressing proxy), or right click for custom browser/application.

External Download (RapidShare, Megaupload, etc.): User browser.

The problem with attachments is that they require login before download- so if I download them via an external application, the user then has to re-log in. I may have a potential psuedofix for this; give me a second and I'll post it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
I don't use IE on my phone. I use Opera...but...using Opera Mobile JUST to download a file is rediculous. Mobie uses lots of RAM, and I don't have much to spare.

But.....man that sounds awesome, developer! I love your plans, they are perfect! I think everyone will be happy and want to donate more now! I'm gonna put your last post's info on the front page (as long as XDA isn't too slow right now).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nitrius:
Just wondering if there is a updated list with software/apps from the official HTC rom, mainly for the Touch HD, but other as well.
[Shift General] curvyjomanjy:
Hello guys,

Sorry for starting new thread with this request while there are plenty of similar threads in the forum, but non of them has a link to download the files on the recovery partition. And that is why I'm starting this thread. (there is only one dead link)

I must say that I've rendered my lovely HTC dead after I've played with the files on the recovery partition. Hence I need that original HTC English Vista system. Not a played with recovery image.

I don't understand about commands, and that guides on dumping ...etc. All what I need are the recovery partition files, simple copy past. Is there is any, please? Can somebody direct me to a link here or anywhere, please? Or copy past the recovery partition, upload it, or burn it on a DVD and I'll pay for hem, please?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kr1tikalMas:
Hi guys

Ok, first of all - this is my first post. Woohooo. K now that that's out the way, lets get down to business.

Had a new slider and clock etc and then I saw XenRed (http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/) ... Decided to install it (using Diamond TF3D Config) and it works. But can't change the wallpaper. Tried using mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02 and then my clock just started ficking through numbers and sticks at 12:59. I Used Diamond TF3D Config to reset to defaults and I just can't get the wallpaper to work (I tried in Settings - Wallpaper and Start - Settings - Today - Use the Picture as the background).

I'm not a developer so I can't exactly go write my own manilla files or whatever. Does anyone have any ideas?

P.S. If possible, I wanna have a different today wallpaper to every other one but wanna customise both. I came across this:
