[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Alright guys!

Here's an experimental build. It's experimental because I am unable to make any changes or run any tests, because I (much to my disliking) am out of town.

There's lots that need fixing, but it should run.

The major reason I built this cab is to introduce the Peoples hub, which allows you to update your Facebook status. The status messages are tagged with "from Windows Phone 7 Series", which is a pretty nice touch to show off to your friends.

So, here's the download link:

http://windowsphonehacker.com/wp7s.php

Enjoy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] julian2596:
when would the next update be
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Casey_boy:
Jaxbot,

With regards to posting status updates... perhaps you can make the new status appear in the me hub without having to go back to the main menu first i.e. I guess when you submit the new status it should auto-refresh.

Also, I'd recommend the okay button be renamed to submit? Or share? Something like that :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
It's actually meant to update that, I guess Facebook just doesn't work fast enough. I'll just manually change it, then have it sync later.

And yes, Okay probably should say Share. I'll add that to my notes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nayaknish:
Looks very promising.. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayAndDie:
Hi,

When I try facebook. I get an NullReferenceException. Are you thinking of implementing cinetic scrolling?

Edit: I´ve found a bug. people with a "ü,ä,ß" are not correctly displayed on people´s hub and it´s not possible to click on them.

Edit2: How to use the lockscreen? or is it useable? because it´s possible to select a lockscreen picture but when I lock the device, the windows standard lockscreen appears. Or you going to make Lockscreen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Yes, I've been trying to get kinetic scrolling to work, but I've had some problems (Eg, GDI+ has choppy rendering).

I'm not sure about letters with accent marks, as none of my contacts have them. But I will look into it. (Probably because it stores each letter A-Z, so it might not be able to understand accented characters.)

There is a lockscreen, click on the top bar on the homescreen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayAndDie:
Thank´s for your effort :)

Wow the lockscreen looks very awesome :eek: but how do I unlock? I´ve somehow managed to unlock it but I don´t know how :D And I was able to scoll it when I pressed once on it. Are you going to make it like the real wp7 lockscreen? I mean with scolling up to lock and down to unlock?

I must say it very fantastic ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Casey_boy:
Scroll up to unlock the lock screen.

Casey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Casey_boy:
Lockscreen image

@Jaxbot,

I'm stealing someone else's idea here; but perhaps you could make the lockscreen the day's Bing image? Or, at least, have the option to set it as this?

http://www.windowsphone7series.com/...theme-lock-screen-wallpaper-current-big-image

(I think you're a member over at the wp7s backstage forums)

Casey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Yes, I am a member on the backstage forums. That's a good idea, I'll probably make it an option, as well as making the Bing image optional for search (to speed things up).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rebelx:
should we install to memory card or directly to the device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rebelx:
Just installed to device....this is what I'm experiencing so far.

Very laggy interface, it takes a second or two for the command to register before any animation appears. I know there's a fade effect, but on a TP2, I don't think it should be this slow.

When you scroll up and down on the programs list, it seems as if there are jagged edges under and on top of the text of the programs, so that it seems as if the part of the physical text is cut off.

When I open up the TP2 to be used in landscape mode, everything goes whack. Is it not meant to be used in any other mode except portrait?

If you use the task manager to close the program, it seems as if it doesn't actually exit memory. Instead, the program goes away, and when you press the start menu on the 6.1 home screen, the 7 series program list appears. Scrolling up and down and launching programs is fine, but when you attempt to swipe to the left (or use the software soft key on the screen), it defaults back to the stock home page. Is this normal? Why can't I exit out of the program without a soft reset?

Good work though! I'm liking the Facebook integration...I just wish it carried over status updates and stuff from my newsfeed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Casey_boy:
Best way to exit the program is by long tapping the empty black strip on the right hand side. You'll see a menu with settings and exit pop up - obviously then click exit.

This shuts the program down correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deers:
cannot login to facebook, always crash after login and close opera. i use htc diamond p3700.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Can I have the complete error message?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayAndDie:
what kind of things are you going to fix or implement in your new release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Lots of bug fixes, hopefully new hubs.

I'm waiting to see, too, because I'm hoping to get my hands on an HD2 soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Casey_boy:
Looking forward to that :) Would like to see some new hubs and the kinetic scrolling.

Whilst you wait, as always, I'm happy to alpha/beta test any release with my HD2.

Casey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Yes I'm very grateful for that :)

However, I'll probably be able to solve some of the strange problems that are occuring with Facebook, the Pictures tile, and WVGA resolutions if I can test it on an HD2.

Hoping to get one this next week, meanwhile I'll be working on the build.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] julian2596:
i maybe be getting the htc hd2 phone if i do i will test them out for u untill u get yours
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xtntx:
Its SO SLOW ....

bleh ... =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eghoti1:
x7501- really is operational only in portrait mode and is pretty sluggish, but looks nice :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quanhoang:
I installed this cab file on my HTC touch2. It looks nice but not like in the youtube file in your website? The main screen is ok but I can't find the "me" hub, and when I hit the arrow button in the top right corner, there're only "help", "search phone" and "phone", cant scroll down cuz nothings there, and then an arrow to go back and that's it, just two screen and almost nothing(!)

Im not quite sure what happened :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
This is not a skin for a theme, rather it is an app. Because of that, a lot of stuff is dynamic. The arrow button should take you to your start menu, that is, a list of all .LNK files in your start menu. If your start menu is located in a different path, certain icons may not appear.

Also, the Me hub only appears if you have Facebook enabled.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] juliuscezar:
Version 1.14b

Any dates for the release of the new version?.. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
No dates, but hopefully sometime next weekend. I've got a lot of changes to work on, but also I want to be able to test some things on an HD2, which should be arriving sometime next week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nkola:
On htc touch all goes not badly:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Thinking about adding this to this project. What do you guys think?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] federaly:
Example: SMS

Basically whenever I click for example SMS/Text. If reverts to the regular Windows Mobile and not the awesomely new WinPho7 SMS screen. I read you said something about directory paths. Is there anything I can do to correct this or?:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
There is no WinPho 7 SMS reading screen (yet, that is). You can send an SMS to someone, but reading must be done on the old SMS client.

However, I'll see about changing some things around (:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayAndDie:
Wow that´s a great idea :) do you have to double tap on screen or on the blue top bar to ignore?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Double-Tap on the screen (any area that ISNT the blue bar).

I'll edit the other post to clarify.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Casey_boy:
Cool :)

If this is how WP7 handles notifications; then it should be implemented!

Casey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Couldn't find a video (naturally, the device doesn't exist yet), but it looks close to this:

http://www.wmexperts.com/more-windows-phone-7-series-notifications
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbezja1:
i dont like the looks of that notification popup, but i think if this is how WP7 will do it, then your theme should do it exactly like that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayAndDie:
+1000 for implementing it :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Just an update: Pretty much finished with the games hub, lets you pin games onto the hub and then launch them from it.

Screenies if you want them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] juliuscezar:
That was nice. :)...Does the WM7 theme has an option to add a program on one of the hubs on the Home screen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Not yet, I would add it but I would need to create WM7-themed icons for the programs, which would make things complicated. I could make a favorites hub though
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayAndDie:
Sounds good looking forward for your next release :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soterman:
13b runs fine on my HD2, keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Glad to hear. I just bought a European HD2, should be arriving soon and then I'll be able finally kill the HD2-only bugs.

Meanwhile, I have most legacy bugs killed, and a couple of little UI tweaks that I think you'll like. I should have a build out this Saturday.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayAndDie:
Man I can´t wait for it :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roshiel:
I can help you to design the icons if you want. I've been doing WP7-style icons for a WAD2 theme and I can adapt them and create new ones.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apax:
nice work, i'm going to keep in eyes on this one...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
That would be great! I just need like common programs, such as Internet Explorer, Opera, etc. that can be used as tiles on the start screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Casey_boy:
Sounds good jaxbot - keep it up :)

Casey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chichoko:
What exactly do you mean with "integration with Steam" ? Be able to view your games catalogue, the store, and community tabs for example? Even chat with Steam friends? That would be awesome if you manage it! :O
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Probably more basic than that, just info about your score and such. I'm not sure Steam would appreciate me making a client for them, even if I had the time :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rast4man:
I'm going to give it a shot since I've used pretty much everyone's themes here and settled on iDiamond for now. I liked Androkkid but the functionality was limited and made my phone act crazy. I'll give it a shot on my HTC Touch Diamond. I'll report back performance, bugs, etc.

It looks good so regardless, keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
To keep you guys posted, got my HD2 in the mail today (finally!), and just real quick: that phone is beautiful. If you have one, you know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I'm back on development, focusing mainly on getting it to run stable on the HD2.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Casey_boy:
Yay! Welcome to the club :) looking forward to a HD2 tuned version!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] solarone71:
any way to get the tile for the weather working....I see that it's there in the options....just can't get it to show up.....thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
It's included in the latest build.

Which, by the way, was supposed to be released yesterday, but I was having some issues with it. If anyone can test it out for me, PM me and I'll send you the CAB.

Also note that the latest build is meant only for HD2s, it will run on other devices but probably fairly slowly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] juliuscezar:
Could you release two versions? one is for larger RAM i.e HD2 and the other are for smaller RAMs i.e Atom Life. Because I've tried your 1.12 and I'm satisfied with its performance. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
I'll have to see how well the HD2 version runs, I think the biggy is that the startup animations are on the slowest speed, which would probably lag a lot on an Atom, but I'll certainly see about that. Wouldn't want to leave everyone else in the dark :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wil_dee:
jaxpot, great theme...

apart from the bugs ppl have already mentioned and the lags, it is brilliant! (also uses up less ram than the good ol' spb mobile shell)

definitely can see the potential in this project!

keep up the good work mate!

can't wait for the next version to come out!

just a note: i wonder why the facebook integration only works with wifi and not gprs data connection??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apax:
1. is there any special requirements for install this app? or just install the app and your good to go?

2. will this work on a stock rom tilt 2 device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
1. Nope, just install it.

2. It should.

It does, you just have to have GPRS already enabled before running the application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wil_dee:
hi jaxbot, thanks for your prompt reply...

i did try it with GPRS enabled before opening the app, and it always comes up with an error message that starts with:

_____________________________

wp7s.exe

FacebookSigningException

Incorrect signature

.....

.....

_____________________________

it's a very long error message let me know if you need the full error message to work out what this issue is...

and if i close the app, and enable wifi and restart the app again, it loads perfectly fine with no errors at all (opens a opera browser and prompts me to sign in to facebook

has anyone else experienced this same problem as I did?

your help is greatly appreciated

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Very strange, what carrier do you use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayAndDie:
When can we expect with a new build :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Soon :) Maybe today, maybe this weekend.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Here's the latest build, 1.14.

There's a couple of issues that I know exist, but it should be a good overall improvement if you are using an HD2.

Download it Here: http://windowsphonehacker.com/wp7s.php

If you do NOT have an HD2, you will probably experience laggy animations. Adjustments for this will come in the next build.

I'll probably nice if the boxes will scroll back down?

After clicking the Pictures
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbhocky19:
just tried on tmo hd2

gets to loading... then crashes. tried with sense off and after soft reset. nothing
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Thanks for the feedback. I know what is causing most of these problems, so it should be easy to fix.

Also, the Startmenu has different text sizes based on length of name. I was hoping this would work out, but as you can see, it just looks awful. It will be removed next build.

What was the error message?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] biernes_atrece:
tried it and still laggy on my X1. (& +1 to nullstring's comments)

but to be fair, i know it's still on a very early stage.

but it's very promising so keep up the good work.

one small question, how do we remove a fave people entry?

i'm looking forward to this one!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
To remove a favorite, double tap on that contact.

Well, at least thats what it says in the code, but as I later found out, you can't double click since a single-click is already handled (/facepalm).

Otherwise, you can delete wp7s peoplehub settings file on the root of your device.

Deleting all wp7s_ files on the root of your device might help.

When is this error occuring? Right on load?

It happens in loading. It shows your boot screen and in the title bar it says frmsplash.

What device is it?

Is the ROM English or another language?

error for me too bro....

HD2 1.14 is my first try..

so i think file on root device is not the reason of error

there is the loading page...and hen

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Doesn't really make sense, but is the device English?

Is there a storage card installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dicksonma:
this is not a english device.....<---------could be the answer

in the error details

wp7.exe

DirectoryNoFoundException

System.Io.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String fullPath, Boolean file)

..........so many of them
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
That's probably the issue...but to test, try creating \Storage Card\DCIM\100Media\ and see if that helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dicksonma:
it already exist
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Alright well in that case the problem has nothing to do with the pictures tile. I'm not sure what else might have a different name on a non-English device, but I'll do some testing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dicksonma:
thx bro...

i think the problem is the root directory...

like my device -->"other language"my device

hows it going with new release. need tester?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
I'm not a full-time developer, and school is my top priority, so I'm not always able to get a lot of developing time in. Hope everyone understands.

In the meantime I'll have a new build out sooner or later, stay tuned.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Thanks for everyones patience, had some extra time this weekend so here goes :)

Smoother scrolling, some fixes with text, lock screen password, and other bugfixes. Try it out and give me some feedback!

Edit: Oh, and WP7 Notifications are built in.
