That zune app looks amazing. Eagerly awaiting update 4.5.0.1
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
Launcher 7 updated, some bug fixes, + its now possible to get the android application drawer back :)
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Its funny how this has turned into a launcher 7 thread too . Not hating at all . Just funny .
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
but thats what this guy is making.. so how is that weird :P lol
[Android Software Development] syrenz:
^heh

Yup, very awesome. Much better than the other drawer imo.

Also update so widgets can now take up full tile, which looks better.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Na man . Reddrake isn't making launcher 7 , he said that dev has contacted him to team up , which may or may not happen . Its just a cool launcher as of now .
[Android Software Development] KokyOK:
Really good work!

Thx a lot!
[Android Software Development] Stalte:
I just looked at the screen shots and noticed that in the contacts the people fits on the whole screen. This is what my contacts app looks like
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Yeah yours is right man . That's what wp7 really looks like . The screen shots in the op were an early build
[Android Software Development] tktouch12:
are you trying to develop this for any specific device or a port to all the good phones?

hopefully incredible would be one?

and so you are going to port over some of the cool apps too? either way the launcher would be pretty cool too
[Android Software Development] elmerendeiro:
I suggest to not copy-paste wp7...i would take ideas and inspiration from it and create a new ui ...i mean give it some personality...

This is the way to success, not copy...otherwise it will only be "fake wp7 experience"...just like a fake Rolex...it only makes you feel dumb...

Now go and create some new Android kickass ui
[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
Agreed, it should have its own ideas...
[Android Software Development] :
At first it will be developed for WVGA devices. Me and the other Dev's will make the launcher just as the WP7 with some extra features(Sense based)...so no just paste and copy. Personaly I will focus on the apps and a custom framework which will make possible to have a fully transparent notification bar. The notification bar will be the first to be posted on the download section. If other want to use it on a different theme or ROM please give credits.
[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
Aw...another WGVA Launcher project. I'm getting HVGA frustrated. Oh well, I'll stick with LP...:(
[Android Software Development] :
You can help to port to HVGA all I need is some png files. You must understand that currently there are to few Dev's working on this. If you want it on HVGA then help me to make it happen. What do you say?
[Android Software Development] elmerendeiro:
Had an idea...why don't you follow the gallery app style for the launcher and the whole ui of your apps...should be pretty awesome
[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
I would provide help for the hvga port...;)
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
same here.....hvga all the way!
[Android Software Development] ljbaumer:
pm me if you need any testers. sounds like a great project
[Android Software Development] fast2049:
I would gladly test this. I really want the music feature those most because I am running around with a Zune and my phone.
[Android Software Development] :
Please explain! I don't understand what you wanted to say.
[Android Software Development] elmerendeiro:
I mean you can make all your ui to look/behavior as the gallery app, with same animations, same dynamic background, etc.
[Android Software Development] sergioalvarezmac:
+1

That would be AWESOME!
[Android Software Development] Steke:
Will be a beta Tester on a Desire Classic. I love this UI. ZUNE UI!!!

But there´s no Zune Player in Germany or Europe, so I hope I can be a Beta tester
[Android Software Development] pppack:
Is there a way to follow your progress?
[Android Software Development] :
Of course if you wish to help developing PM me with a skype id.
[Android Software Development] miketoasty:
I am new to Developing but have skills with various programs, and would like to Dev/Beta test.
[Android Software Development] BChris71:
------------------
[Android Software Development] Stalte:
Alright that's what I figured.
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
this is going really fast! :D I cant wait for the next update!
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
Regarding whether or not to sell the apps outside of the market. I think it would be more difficult for the apps to gain popularity. I won't mind paying a little extra so that you get your efforts worth.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
wanted to let you guys know im working on a boot animation for us all , hopefully when its done Drake will add it to the OP with my ringtones/notifications . Im also porting the UI sounds (clicks and stuff).
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
Looking forward to it
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
wait so am i using the wrong launcher? or hasnt the guy of this thread made a launcher yet, only the contact app?
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
only contact app right now ... camera and zune are coming very soon . Launcher7 (I think in most of our opinions) is the best wp7 style launcher out there right now , which is why you will see us talking about it . The developer of that launcher contacted TheRedDrake to join forces , that may or may not happen .

for now , enjoy the contacts app , i know it doesnt seem like much right now , but things will be picking up very soon . it will be worth it .
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
Any estimates on what the final product prices are gonna be? For the packs? As I understand at the moment one app should cost $2.00?
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
I have a little problem with this Launcher7. I'm using a donate version but contact tile doesn't working. No previews of contacts etc. Only blank tile with custom title. What's wrong?
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
I believe the live contacts tile only pulls photos from contacts from your Google account . Facebook and twitter contacts pictures do not show .
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
Actually I have some people with photo in my Google account but nothing happend. Only blank tile :o
[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
i dont have twitter hooked up, but it pulls facebook images for me on my EVO.
[Android Software Development] CB620:
I'm interested in the zune player.apk for my nexus s.
[Android Software Development] crackedvenom2:
did you add the tile and then on the extras thing, click contacts tile?
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
Yes mate I already did it. But no change
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
if anyone here has bootanimation.zip experience , send me a pm .. im having issues with speed on the one im working on for us .
[Android Software Development] lakers1624:
I love how on the windows phone zune app the background of the interface is a large picture of the artist you are listening to. Will this be implemented into this version? Is it even possible?
[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
I don't know that they will be able to implement that. On the actual Zune players it is only for a small percentage of artists as it is.
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
it would be possible to implement if its only in the music app =) but we do need a good place to find images :P
[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
well the images they are talking about are directly tied to specific artists within the zune software/store etc. and not insertered by the user.
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
Yes I know that :) but I mean from the internet, there is image databases on the web that could be parsed or music sites or something like that :)
[Android Software Development] jriv:
Donations sent can't wait to try it out

sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
[Android Software Development] lakers1624:
Hmmmm. Maybe we could supply our own pictures somehow?
[Android Software Development] soundworkspr:
i can be a beta tester if you like !
[Android Software Development] trax26:
just donated
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
its been a while since theres been an update.. working on something nice? :D
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
I talked to roomtek last night , he said zune is almost ready for a release . He's squashing bugs still . But won't be long
[Android Software Development] roomtek*8525:
WP7 Android UI - Music Player

This is a ss of the Now playing screen.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Very nice . Thanks
[Android Software Development] :
The site will be ready soon. I am preparing a major launch in 3-4 weeks with about 4-5 apps for sale. Also sorry for the delays, the facebook API is very limited and we work on finding other ways of implementing all features.
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
I have a question. For developers of this project. Launcher 7 is a great app but I would like to have clock on right corner in fullscreen mode. It's possible? Only clock. Without notification bar. And also in app screen. There isn't fullscreen mode. Why. It's impossible to do it? Thanks for replies :)
[Android Software Development] :
Launcher 7 is no longer a candidate to this project.
[Android Software Development] losty-1H:
have this has been tested on HTC DHD? the resolution will fit?
[Android Software Development] KCutrer1:
Yes. The Desire HD has a WVGA resolution screen, so the apps will work.
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
Ok. So if I understand, you will make a new launcher, better that Launcher 7 :)
[Android Software Development] Benitho:
Will it have those nifty "flip" animations? 'Cause if it does I will be loving this. :D
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
I agree . The metro style is pretty reliant on those cool animations. Definitely need those
[Android Software Development] sketch2k278:
MDPI Compatible?

would this work on MDPI type phones? i would like to donate if it does my phone is a Motorola Backflip running Cyanogen v6.1.2 (Froyo 2.2.1) if that helps any.... its just absolutely flawless :eek:
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
I want to know to same
[Android Software Development] :
All screen resolutions will be supported as I said many times before. And yes I got another Launcher in development by a dev.
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
Cool I wonder how this one will be compared to metro ui and launcher 7 :)
[Android Software Development] dialupboy:
Better be :)

Launcher 7 is Super Awesome, and fast Update too.
[Android Software Development] XxsydenxX:
Ew, the latest update has some horrid instant snap back overscrolling effect that i cant disable...anyone know a way around this?....I dont want to have to uninstall.
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
Is the pinning of contacts supposed to work now? it does not work for me.
[Android Software Development] syrenz:
Pretty sure you can just go to settings and do that. Though I didn't actually have it enabled until I set it up myself...

Like the new tile transitioning according to sensor. Looks great. Launcher 7 is fantastic and having good updates all the time...
[Android Software Development] TooSlo:
Bouncing can be disabled in an update tonight.
[Android Software Development] roomtek*8525:
MDPI phone issues

The Music player works and looks good on the 800x480 device. on lower res screens, part of the screen text is cut and the swiping left only moves the screen halfway (wierd). On this note, the Music player wont work properly for MDPI phones at least for now.
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
Impatiently waiting for this music player :-)
[Android Software Development] thetiger1401:
What is the passeword of file .rar
[Android Software Development] trax26:
donate

and mp TheRedDrake for password
[Android Software Development] Androidboy35961:
Still needs more work, but it's good for now.
[Android Software Development] newarkhiphop:
love the project and i want that zune player lol , any idea how much its going to run??

Video preview of music + video player

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s44iQ88S2dc

This is a preview of the progress of the WP7 music player. :)
[Android Software Development] jnad32:
Looks pretty cool! Getting excited
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
Dude! Is that even possible!!?? (Eyes melt from awesomeness)
[Android Software Development] jvenkatreddy:
What was the password for archive file?.
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
What is the project status? I haven't seen any updates for quite some time now.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Oh its coming along. I was told to have my stuff done in a week. The site should be up in around that time frame .
[Android Software Development] pimpannara:
gaaah i cant wait for the zune player! :]
[Android Software Development] crackedvenom:
well its coming towards the end of the month. hopefully something happens
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
lets gooooooooooooooooo... developers!! :D
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
are the contributers going to get it before the site release?
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
double post arrrg
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
Good question i heard us donators get first cuts? :)
[Android Software Development] :
Yes most of them will. I've atached some screenshots to see the latest version of the contacts.

Anyways I will put the app on the market next week. Sorry for delays but I will be in hospital for one week. Health comes first.
[Android Software Development] losty-1H:
how much is this project worth to donate?, want to try it out but i cant see the amount to donate
[Android Software Development] :
The more the better. :)
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
Not too serious I hope? Anyways great progress!
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Not crazy about how "people" looks now.
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
Yeah, the font is not better than before. bring back the old one or let us have a choice.
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
+1!
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
Hospital?? Is everything all right man?
[Android Software Development] Jow24:
this is so great
[Android Software Development] TF1984:
I am somewhat disappointed at the speed of development here. I donated two months ago, for which all we have is a contacts app.

By the time the whole package is complete I will be on some other phone...

Don't want to be negative but really, what's going on?
[Android Software Development] KCutrer1:
Listen, the developers don't owe you anything. A donation is a sign of appreciation, not a guarantee that you will be compensated on a timetable that you've set. The project will be ready when it's ready, and until then I suggest that you just wait with the rest of us.
[Android Software Development] Rsloan:
Um not to be a Ass but the op

kinda set all the dates
[Android Software Development] NicoGig:
Can I be a Beta Tester? I would like to test the apps on my Huawei Ideos U8150 mid-low device.:)
[Android Software Development] fsalazar504:
True but he also mentioned he had to go to the hospital. It sucks but personal health issues are always first
[Android Software Development] Ganjagreenboy:
whats the password............or am i not allowed to open it
[Android Software Development] crackedvenom2:
Im going to jump in here and probably get scolded :( but he did say awhile ago, (besides this last time) that we would have a site in a couple weeks too. This app just seems like its going to be great, and weve been waiting for awhile now.
[Android Software Development] losty-1H:
donated, waiting on pw
[Android Software Development] flo09:
any new news ?
[Android Software Development] lakers1624:
Don't think so. I haven't received any PM's from anyone.
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
Sure would be nice to get an update, or maybe a preview for us contributors or something....
[Android Software Development] :
You got your update :D. Sorry to everyone for the delays. I hope things get better from now :)
[Android Software Development] anzoshi:
The password for the archives no longer seems to be working, was it changed?
[Android Software Development] :
Yes they were due to a user posting it on the thread. PM for new pass and don't forget about PP confirmation.
[Android Software Development] r4dik4l:
At what point will this hit the market? cool stuff!
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
launcher is kinda taking some figuring out .. but if nothing else the menus are sexy . the zune player is AMAZING . WAY better than i expected .
[Android Software Development] ms7p:

If you like this project please donate because this helps the Devs SO MUCH, they also help the project go on with the development. The Devs deserve it :D me myself donated for them!

I hope everybody else can wait till the release xD

Take Care guys!
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
niiiice , still playing around with the launcher .. looks like you actually edited in the feature for messaging that was in the concept video . impressive . :D
[Android Software Development] trax26:
nice work

i ve an omnia, so i can compare both

it's realy cloth,

controle volume menu ,in zune, are realy cool! exacly the same!

But there is still some work for a lot of little details (policy, smother animation etc..)

i'm pretty sure you are going to fix that

keep going guys and congrat!
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
doesnt work on my htc desire, just a black screen. i can get to the app drawer, but i see nothing in the launcher...
[Android Software Development] moky2008:
:( try adding some apps first...
[Android Software Development] ziggy34:
Wow, this looks great, I have a Zune and love the music player, to have it on my Android phone would be the best. Screen shots look great also.

Sent a small donation your way. hope it helps. Can't wait to see the finished product.
[Android Software Development] danielt021:
Can you provide mirrors? the problem i face is that when i try to download it straight to my phone it downloads as .bin format and it's useless, unless im missing something....
[Android Software Development] TooSlo:
I've run into that problem before. Rename the file and include the.zip extension and you should be able to interact properly with the file.

So I download the launcher and zine player .. But I can unzipped it .. It ask me for. Password .. Ehere do I get it., how much is it
[Android Software Development] danielt021:
OK, one more question, does the zune player play songs from zune pass???
[Android Software Development] domtra:
I just donated...please PM me the password!
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
This isnt working.. the screen is black, when i pin programs they show up for a second then dissapear.. the arrows in the top are reversed which makes no sense.. there is no way to delete tiles or widgets and the "about" doesnt work.

Plus the zune app wont stop crashing.. wow this is bad, sorry to say :(
[Android Software Development] bchsun:
the apps you pin are actually being saved at their placements, but there is a bug where they disappear. Switching the arrows so it's right is simply a matter of relabeling the .png's. I'm not getting the crash on the Zune app. It's pretty intensive. It quite possible that your phone's hardware simply cannot handle it. The about page probably has not been written yet because it is still in closed beta. The one point you have made that is viable is the inability to delete tiles and widgets. You must remember that this is till in beta. And not just beta, but closed beta. That means the developers do not yet think it is suitable for public use. There are bugs. There will be bugs. There should be bugs. It may be "bad" now, but that's the reason we are beta testers, to point out such errors so they can fix them.
[Android Software Development] CloudsITA:
Very nice project... i'm going to try it!
[Android Software Development] :
You can delete tiles by draging them on the left side of the screen.
[Android Software Development] jkat797:
please help

how come i cant do this? every time i try it says it says i need a password? can somebody please help? i really want to try the music player
[Android Software Development] :
You need to be a dev or to donate in order to gain access.
[Android Software Development] clark44:
Dident know you still needed devs. Im up for it
[Android Software Development] barnacles10:
*Hands over ears*

Didn't hear this. xD
[Android Software Development] lithid-cm:
I have a sweet looking turtle. Please donate if you want to see.
[Android Software Development] clark44:
Lmao made my day. This guys is only wanting money
[Android Software Development] :
Ok, so how should I read this? Hmmm....is this guy making fun of us.:mad:

The idea is to contribute in some way. Either by developing or donating.

Anyhow why do you even buy apps from the market....after all, all devs have a sweet looking turtle. Oh wait I forgot you use rapidshare, etc. to get those apps. You don't care about the devs work :mad:
[Android Software Development] asqwrd:
Zune player force closes whenever i choose a song from albums
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Same here. That's really my only problem with it though. That and sometimes it wont close. I have to force close it. But its so pretty it doesn't really matter. Im sure it will all get worked out.

Thanks for making all this happen Drake. I don't think asking for donations or contributions is wrong in anyway. you and the other devs keep up the great work.
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
Wow, I haven't had the slightest idea that you guys have actually pulled it off. I remembered seeing many naysayers claiming that a full Windows Phone 7 UI would never come to fruition. But here you are, already releasing perfectly capable betas of some apps. This is just mindblowing. Keep it up, guys!
[Android Software Development] roomtek*8525:
Zune player Force closes

Hi there, I am aware of the Force closes on selecting tracks and stuff. I am aware of any other issues. I havent had time to work on it, but I am back at it. I should fix the FC today, and send another *.apk .

I am removing the pause notification so it doesnt get annoying.

gridlayout issues will be fixed - *note not all screen sizes will be supported.

I am

hardcoding

this to work for 480 x 800 screens. Any resolutions below/ above this might have display issues with the music app.

screen swiping might still be a little buggy :o.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Thanks for the update man. What a gorgeous app you have created.
[Android Software Development] jnad32:
Are you going to put it on the market?
[Android Software Development] bchsun:
Soooo... I already donated. Do I seriously have to pay again for the contacts app? Was my donation only for the 3 closed beta versions? Because if it was, then you really should have stated that in advance. Because in no way was the amount of my donation worth the 3 very beta versions of the app.
[Android Software Development] roomtek*8525:
Ill get this sorted out...
[Android Software Development] clark44:
I just added u on gtalk.
