Nominations for Apps & Utilities on WM

9. Special Recognition for Multiple-Year Achievements in pre-2009 Development of the Most Widely-Adopted Apps & Utilities on the Windows Mobile platform*

I would like the developers of the following extremely useful freeware WM programs in this list:

(i) WkTask - waku

(ii) PIM backup - dotfred

(iii) File Explorer Extension - Hou Ming

(iv) GSFinde+ - Mr. Y.Nagamidori

Also I fail to understand why Microsoft have decided to kill WM 6.x.x. . Even if we were to ignore the fact that WM is still the most capable Mobile Platform or that there is high probability of failure of WP7 due to it's various limitations, the fact remains that if they really want to succeed in the worldwide mobile space then they will require an operating system capable of running in lower end devices and this can't be achieved by WP7 . If you consider a device with a 200 MHz processor and 64 MB RAM & ROM, then you can make WM 6.x to run on it pretty nicely but will iOS or Android run on such a device.

Nokia/Symbian are the world leaders in Mobiles precisely because of the ability of Symbian to run on even the most low end systems. Google, WP7 & Apple combined are unlikely to change this equation in the near future.

If Nokia can have Symbian S40, S60 & S90 series phones available together in the market for such a long time then why can't WM 6.5 & WP7 co-exist in the market.

The present loss of market share of WM is not because of any fault of WM, it is because of the confusion created by Microsoft in the Minds of Consumers, developers and phone manufacturers, following the premature announcement of WP7. If microsoft really want to continue with WM, as announced then they should come clean on their Mobile Strategy, in my view they should develop and differentiate the existing line as Windows 7 Pocket PC and the other locked down variant as Windows 7 phone. Lets hope that sense prevails at Microsoft.

Hey quicksite!

Nice to see all this is just about to start!

I can´t wait to see the nominated:)
[General Topics] quicksite:
Just clarifying: In nominating developer achievements, you can nominate multiple people per category, you can nominate as many as you like.

Then in the voting stage, perhaps there should be a vote for 1st place choice, as well as 2nd place choice, as well as 3rd place choice... not just as possible tie-breakers but also to increase the recognition, and emphasize the non-competitive nature of the intention. So the results of voting would include, for each category:

First place:__________

2nd place: _____________

3rd place: __________

( to all: Comments? Suggestions? Views? ... please help shape this to be meaningful yet not exclusionary in its results )

================================================

Wait -- are you saying this should be a category -- for those who have assembled and compiled great instructional guides and process instructions?

That's a very overlooked role in general in life, since, in general, I think the "perception" of consumers is they remember the BAD instructions, and tend to gloss over the really excellent instructional guides... They are ignored because they caused no "bump" of annoyance... but rather flowed so easily it's easy to overlook completely the actual work that went into the "instructional design".

I'm not joking; I don't know if you were.... :confused:
[General Topics] quicksite:
I think you're probably right, however, it will be an explosive category next year, and to be fair, there ARE widgets this year, even if few... Off the top of my head, there are FEWidgets, and also a series of widget's being created for the "android-like" application/interface "Androkkid" on Windows Mobile.

What do others think?

--- as for sticky: I can't be presumptuous. I haven't known if this would be supported by community members or really disliked. So i will leave that to mods on their own.
[General Topics] stylez:
Pretty sure Dave isn't joking and i'd like to see this too as we have contributors who don't provide software\roms\themes yet provide information support and help without many of these people XDA wouldn't be so eazy to grasp the processes that many of us just take as second nature these days.

Outstanding Achievement for Widget development WM

I'd like to second the nomination for MSkip for his continued & tireless efforts in creating new widgets (& more) for the SPB MobileShell UI. They include:-

MSkip ProPlus Ultimate for MS3.5

MSkip ProPlus Elegance for MS3.5 &

MSkip ProPlus Ultimate Elegance for MS3.5

MSkip has created literally dozens of modifications & new widgets !!!

MSkip's widget packs have improved the MobileShell UI beyond anything SPB had envisioned & has improved not only the look but also the useability of the interface. MSkip has also been very helpful & responded to numerous requests by xda members. Well Done !!!

NRGZ28 for His energy rom series, Frequent updates for multiple devices, regular contact via his posts and giving people options on the style of Rom they want, (Stable, Latest, Sense 2.1 /2.5 etc)

However I would like to add... There are a lot of amazing cooks out there, and all deserve praise.

Luke's right. I wasn't joking. There are many folks on here (a few names spring to the top of my head: mskip, Fallen Sparten, ClydeB1, haree) that have provided user friendly guides and helped support new starters no matter how bigger "n00b" they act. Or, people like Da_G, Hilaireg, Ameet, who write tutorials on ROM porting and other techie stuff and just help everyone along.

But, hey, it's your show, you run it how you like... :D

THAT'S EASY ! Look at it like Film Writer-Director-Producer

Answer: In every category where there is noteworthy achievement! If that means in 4 different categories, that's as it should be. No different than Clint Eastwood being nominated for Actor, also for Writing, also for Producing. Just be specific (as you have) about which thing you are nominating for in the specific category.

Brainstorm needed please! Pre-2009 Foundational Software like HardSPL

This raises an issue that I think can be addressed swiftly with the help of those of you who are nominating... if we can knock this around just a bit:

There is quite a bit of foundational & groundbreaking work done over the years (PRE my time here but I know about most of it since it's part if the essential toolkit that enables the whole "flashing roms" concept work in more streamlined ways.). For some reason I thought the username was Olipro, but i don't know where I got that.

But OliNex's Hard SPL solved a primary hurdle that's enabled so much other successive app development & ROM development work, to get deployed.

It seems to me like this is a Special Category, and that there are probably more peers like OliNex who also engineered or solved a foundational hurdle in the preparatory processes that the phone device must go through to make the rom-flashing practical and within the reach of non-techs who are truly afraid to brick their phones.

Does anyone feel similarly? I can't think of the Special Category Name, but I don't know, maybe it revolves specifically around Operating System hacking and refinement...

It;s like a Special Technical Breakthrough Achievement.... and though the following may not be considered a peer to OliNex's work, how many people here have seen the astonishing accomplishment in areas of Operating System and device drivers, and in general just the overall coolness and audacity of the group of developers who hacked their Windows Mobile Phones to run Android. Not emulators, mind you, but running linux on their devices by building the drivers, then loading Android and running it! ? (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aakZoAmHJg )

(contd)
[General Topics] quicksite:
And how best to treat the recognition of Apps from prior years like S2U2, Mortscript?

This is my second question based on freco's posting: I think that, if this recognition series were to succeed this year, then in 2010 and 2011 we're going to be seeing all sorts of single-focus apps (such as what flooded the iphone app store, things like using your phone as a level, a compass, and the outstanding iStethescope which has been hailed by cardiologists from around the world as a true life-saving tool that has revolutionized the way they treat patients around the world, remotely, via the high-sound-quality results produced by iStethescope)

I think that this should try to focus on a single year's achievements in various apps/roms etc.

Yet there is a large body of invaluable work that has preceded 2009.

In addition to A_C's apps, and MortScript's now widely-adopted scripting app that add all sorts of functionality and control to many many apps, other foundational work includes PCMkeyboard and its predecessors and peers, and the breakthrough finger-controllable iContact apps begun by larna, and further developed by supbro, Burt, and now thx1200; and dotfred's app suite,etc.

I guess what I am suggesting is that rather than have these apps "competing" against apps/roms developed specifically in 2009, what do you think about Special Achievement Awards that honor ALL of these early stage successful and widely adopted apps?

It would then designate a category/classification that would be reserved in future years for things that really demand special recognition because they don't quite fit into the category. Like at the Oscars, when they awarded Eastman Kodak film for a Special Outstanding Technical Achievement Award, for the foundational and essential development and refinement of color film that enabled not just vivid daylight scenes but also high contrast nightime scenes. Similarly, the Steadicam was awarded such an award.

So, the question is, should all of these early successes be recognized in a Special Achievement category, in which they each are receiving the recognition? (sorry i am so wordy.)

(i don't know how to create a second poll but I don't think that's the best way to address this anyway. Notwithstanding the process/methodology concerns expressed in the poll by freco, mdg212, Noonski, texascbx , which I understand and acknowledge, I am looking to lay down track before the train arrives, and try to seed something meaningful for the beginning of January, rather than succumb to the inertia-killing need to get it perfectly right this pass. My major caveat is already expressed upthread: If, at the end of a voting period, which probably should be held throughout the whole month of January vs a very silly 3-days i initially threw out, there is a lot of dissatisfaction in the way this was aggressively (time-wise) put together, then I would propose at that time to confer amongst those who are saying they will help organize, and decide whether this Recognition Series for 2009 should be viewed as a beta.

[General Topics] freco:
Since this is the first nomination, I think that OliNex, Mort and many others, should be definetely awarded because of their "foundational" achievement. Without their work, flashing roms and many other applications/utilities would never exist.

So maybe special categories for all those OliNex, Mort, Da_G, bepe (what a big mistake to forget him, sorry man, I 'll update my votes), have to be.

I cannot come up with titles at the moment, but I 'm sure we will find them.

Maybe "Device independed", "Overall essential achievements"...
