[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] CodeMonkeyUK:
I originally posted this on deviantART earlier today but have received no responses. 1800PocketPC recommended that I also try here. I didn't even think there may be designers lurking in the developer ranks...!

[EDIT: Apparently I'm not allowed to add a link to back-reference the deviantART link because I'm a newbie.]

I'm a software developer from the UK with absolutely no graphical ability. None. Every time I come here and see the awesome visuals that you guys produce I am literally blown away. The sheer range and quality of graphics are mind-blowing.

I'm primarily a web developer but in my past I've been involved with creating Flash-based games along with designers, but my eye's recently been caught by the Windows Phone 7 system that Microsoft are producing and the XNA architecture that you can use to develop games for it.

If you don't know, basically MS are throwing a tonne of money at their new phone operating system (coming out in a couple of months) and will have an application ecosystem similar to Apple's. My plan is to get a few (simple) 2D retro-style games up on their app store to try and capitalise on this surge of new people.

I am more than capable of developing the architecture for the game. I have experience in developing tile-based gaming engines and have already produced one example of a top-down "fighter" game using XNA and some dodgy graphics as a proof-of-concept. My plan is to take this and some other games I have ideas for, develop them in conjunction with a designer (or two) and put them on the marketplace.

I'm looking for someone interested in creating some retro-style game graphics/sprites to help me achieve the goal of selling these games and making us both - hopefully - some money. I'm hoping that someone out there there's someone, possibly a student, who'd like help. Even if the games don't get off the ground (and/or don't make any money), I will provide Windows-executables of the game that the artist might be able to use for course credit, CV, or something similar.

Please note that this is not a paid job. Not up-front, at least. However it is something that I hope will take off and we can arrange a profit-share for. I'm willing to accept the costs of getting onto the approved-developer-list (so that we can submit applications).

Is anyone interested?

Craig.

Have emailed you both. Anyone else interested?

I think this is a great idea and my plan is to work with a number of designers on a number of different games/applications/projects over the coming few months, so as many as possible!

Where are the APN settings stored? I mean the file or whatever. Can I backup them?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y_n_t:
They are not in the phone. You should add it manually. You can contact your network operator to configure it correctly or you can find the settings on your network operator web page.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlefevre86:
Actually, they are :) In some database, or something...

You can backup and restore them using an app on the market ("APN backup and restore", or something like that, not using it personally...)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y_n_t:
But is more easier to add them manually. :D

well, thx for that I will have a look in the market ... I thought they are stored in a file or whatever, on the phone.

File with APN is stored on "apns-conf.xml" somewhere, i dont know exactly where, sdcard or root (cannot serch, charging my galaxy with power off, right now). I have same file from cyanogen firmware, but dont know prepare for our device, always have some error. This file have APN data almost from all world operators.

Best regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicOnline:
yes I saw those APN of the other operators. after backing up with the app I looked into this .xml file which is generated by the app and I got 60 entries. but i see only mine in the settings pane on the phone, how come :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miro666:
That was me strange too. But i think, maybe when you etc. go in roaming or chnging SIM card from other operator, connecting with this other operator, we got other APN points in Settings panel.

Mine is also ok now. Now connecting to the internet using my notebook via Wildfire "Internet Sharing" function.

How to connect ?

1) Turn on notebook

2) open HTC Sync (on notebook)

3) Connect Wildfire to notebook using USB - select HTC Sync (on Wildfire)

4) On Wildfire - Open Settings - Wireless & Networks - check Internet Sharing.

Now you can browse the internet using your notebook.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsinc1962:
I recently purchased my Captivate through Radio Shack using my upgrade an re-upped for another 2 years. Like a lot of folks I too am having problems with random shut offs and poor GPS performance so I'm contemplating bringing it back. I can't live with a phone that shuts off randomly. I'm not sure I want to get another Captivate. Not because it's not an awesome phone because it is, but more to do with the fact that it doesn't appear like there's any solutions to these problems in the near future.

My question is if I return it what are my options for a replacement from Radio Shack? Another Captivate (obviously but how will it perform?) the Aria which my wife has but is too small for my taste, the Backflip (no way) or ??? RS doesn't carry the Xperia or iphones. If I flat out return it for my money back and just stick with my Nexus what is the deal with my contract? Null and void or am I stuck? Can I return it to a regular ATT store and get another phone there? I went with RS because the Captivate was $50 less than through ATT.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukulele_ninja:
Honestly I think if you get an exchange you have a very good chance of getting one that will work right. The GPS issue will get resolved but in the meantime its really not as big of a deal as everyone frets over.

You cannot take the phone to ATT for a different one because they will know that you didnt buy it through them and therefore wont take it back. The other phones you mentioned that RS had are garbage compared to the Captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ld006:
AT&T has no other phones that can even compare to the captivate (besides the xperia or iphone like you said). Radioshack carries both of them via direct2u (ask an associate about it) which just means they ship you a brand new phone directly to your house for free so if you really don't want the captivate again you can pick one of those instead.

you have 30 days from the date you got your captivate to back out of the upgrade and un-extend your contract. After the first 30 you are stuck with the renew of your 2 year contract. you cannot return the captivate anywhere else besides radioshack (can be any radioshack).

Options:

*exchange it for another captivate (30 days to exchange for any other at&t phone and 90 days exchange for the same phone if defective)

*return it and have the upgrade reversed and get an xperia or iphone (both suck in my opinion, iphone 4 has lots of problems and xperia x10 only has android 1.6 with no update in sight)

*return it and have the upgrade reversed and go back to your nexus one

I work for radioshack so this are your actual options :/...good luck with your decision :D

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
Hi All -

Firstly.. Please don't burn me for being thick!..

I've been trying to see how much I can get out of my phone since I got it, without having to root and mess about "under the hood" of the apps I've installed..

But now I'm getting curious and for my first attempt at this I will remain "unrooted"..

I've got ADW and I want to amend some of the .png files - so I tried extracing the app from the phone, openned the APK using winzip and amended some of the .png files.. I've uninstalled ADW from the phone and then tried to reinstall the updated version which I've put back onto my SD card - but it says "Cannot install ADW on this phone".....

I've had a search around XDA but can't find anything that helps..

If there is already a thread that talks me through this please point me in the right direction, otherwise if someone could explain to me if I'm missing a step I'd appreciate it!..

Cheers!

Alan.

EDIT - Ok - It's solved... I downloaded the SignApk app off t'internet signed the new APK that I'd created and then sent it back to my phone - which worked.. finally solved.

Thanks for all who helped me..

Solution is - YOU HAVE TO SIGN the Apk if it's NOT a system APK..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
if i read correct you have extracted the apk ? If yes it won't install unless you sign it. All you have to know about signing is here .

Or you can just open the archive with 7zip or whatever you want and drag the files there and it will work just fine.(Haven't checked though but it was pointed out here ) .
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
Hi - Thanks for this...

By Extracted... What I did was I used astro to back it up to the SD card then bluetoothed it to my laptop - opened the APK using Winzip and edited some of the png's within the archive.. then I saved it, bluetoothed it back to my SD card and tried to reinstall it from there..

that's I got the message "can't install ADW on this phone" message...

?? Perhaps I need to extract it differently? or would I need to re-sign it first?

Thanks again.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gavriel18:
Use 7zip instead and right click the apk and hit open archive instead of extract. Then drop the files u edited into the correct folder. It should install...

Hope it helps. :-)

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
Drag n drop works for system apps but for apps like the ones in market ul need to remove meta inf folder, sign the apk file n all should be well. although I think because the certificates have been changed you won't be able to update it via market. I've done quite a bit of editing..

Hi,

I know u can uncheck the wallpaper scrolling option in ADW, but i was wondering if someone has a trick to modify the selection area for setting your wallpaper.

Basically I would like that selection area of your wallpaper fits the size of N1's screen.

Right know the selection includes the scrollable area and when u make it "un-scrollable" you end up with just a part of the wallpaper ,

any idea?

I see a couple of posts in the dev section about fixing lag (with OCLF - not the best choice in my opinion, but might be all you got for now), but no mention of actually having lag. Almost feels like people just assumed it had it, and were also tempted by higher Quadrant scores.
