That app looks really smooth. I now truly believe that this will live up to the hype and will be worth the wait. Thanks for making the video lucas.scott and keep up the great work TheRedDrake.
[Android Software Development] bchsun:
donation sent!
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Donation sent to you
[Android Software Development] :
Please don't oversaturate the thread with "donation sent" messages. I am talking to everybody . You should post your opinion about the app for example.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Its extremely smooth .. and pretty. Only things I see are ( you can see this in my video) , when you flick to scroll down the list, it wants to go to the left or right. Almost too sensitive there.

The other, is when you click to edit a regular contact (not twitter or Facebook), it doesn't pull up the correct contact at all .. if I select to edit " Lisa ", it opens " Chris' " contact card.

I'm sure that's being worked on. I'm very happy with it. Literally been following this from day one, and was one of those that was starting to lose faith. This was enough to rekindle the spark. Can't wait for the following releases.

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
AWESOME APP! thanks RD. I noticed that as well, re: the contact editing brings up a different name. Also, when you pull up a contact>under services>links are blue, but not active. I'm not sure if that's by design or WIP. Again, great app! Can't wait to the rest...best contact app to date!
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Also when you long press a contact and select merge, WP7 Fc's
[Android Software Development] BigD18t:
This looks fantastic, currently running launcher 7 asi love the windows phone 7 look, if you need a Beta tester for the Zte Blade im offering my phone for its services :cool:
[Android Software Development] Benitho:
... he hasn't responded yet ...
[Android Software Development] mohitrocks:
Yeah, I pmed him as well... I didn't get any password pm back... Still eagerly waiting!
[Android Software Development] purian23:
As long as you guys donated for the project, he should send you the password for the 'closed' beta. If not, that's prolly why you haven't heard back yet, idk tho, just fyi incase.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
keep in mind ... hes in Romania i think , time zone is way different . i got mine at like 2 am
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Flashable stock WP7 notifications and ringtones for you guys that i whipped up.

just install via recovery.

tested on OG droid , fascinate , and incredible . Those were the only devices i had on hand . I had no issues but as always, backup and flash at your own risk .

[Android Software Development] anzoshi:
What is the performance of this like? Will it be able to run smoothly on lower end devices (E.g. HTC Dream)?
[Android Software Development] ssimmmo:
Right the contact app can't seem to download it right. Always gets error when I unzip it can I we get a mirror please..thanks
[Android Software Development] :
New version available with known bugs fixed + minor features added(press all to sort contacts/ in search page letters writen are now highlighted). And for those that don't know, the zip file is password protected that's why they get an error. Also yes the application will run on slower devices like the HTC Dream.
[Android Software Development] isaac12:
what is password?:confused::confused:
[Android Software Development] syrenz:
If I understand correctly, you only get the password and into the beta if you donated. Full (paid) version for everyone is supposed to come out in a matter of weeks.
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
cant merge contacts yet, unless I'm doing something wrong
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Thanks RedDrake for updating so quickly. :)
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Do I have to manually select the tones or are they auto?
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
how do I select them? I'm in notifications, I don't see anything different
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
If you flashed in recovery they should be the ones simply labeled "ring' and "alert" . There are like 30 rings and 15 alerts
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Okay , so after todays update , "Edit" now brings up the correct contact , info saves correctly and everything. "Merge" is working for me , but some times doesnt find an obvious match, but when it does , it works . Scrolling is still smooth but still seems to want to go left or right when you fling it . Solid update with improvements. thanks drizzy ....
[Android Software Development] fsalazar504:
Somethings I noticed, when editing contacts, if they full info (meaning it fills almost all fields of contacts) scrolling down to edit other causes a problem (I can't click on other since the animation tends to do the bounce animation too much). Not sure if that made sense but I guess I can take a small video later if necessary. another is on the People title, the 'e' is cut off. These aren't bugs or big problems, just small things that i noticed.
[Android Software Development] purian23:
I'm not 100% on the first part, maybe a short vid would help. The 2nd part, the People, the e is supposed to be cut off, this is how windows phone 7 is, its in a panaramic view, so once they integrat facebook in this app, the people name will shift over to the left once you swipe.
[Android Software Development] fsalazar504:
Ohhh makes sense then, I tested out a wp7 but never really paid attention to that PEOPLE title. Thanks for that. Ill see what I can do with the video.
[Android Software Development] dsmitty166:
One thought would be to add a letter visual when scrolling on the side. This way when scrolling fast you could hit a specific letter and it would jump to it.
[Android Software Development] dragshawn:
how to apply this

how do u apply this?
[Android Software Development] purian23:
Could you be a little more specific?
[Android Software Development] dragshawn:
how to apply this

im on evo,when i go to apply theme its say there a problem parsing the package
[Android Software Development] dsmitty166:
You need to donate to the cause, or develop something for the cause. Then you will get the password and it's just a .apk file. All you have to do is put it on your SD card and then browse for it with a file manager and install.
[Android Software Development] bigcvm:
I can beta test. Droid x and i9000t (botw rooted)
[Android Software Development] bigcvm:
Where can i donate?
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Under the OP's info first page, it says donate to me.
[Android Software Development] davidstre:
it is in poor taste issue a mandatory "donation" for users to beta test what is nothing more than a clone, of Microsofts work. It would be completely fine to charge for the finished product, since the final version will be the result of lots of time and effort, but to charge people to beta test and bug report to you is crazy. I do hope all of the people working on this project for you are getting a cut of any money you see.
[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
So he should give out the beta test for free to whoever wants it to what will soon be a paid app? I think the more accurate way to look at it is rewarding those who have chosen to donate by getting them first crack at where things are at in the process and get their suggestions. also, the people who donate and help eventually get all the apps for free (and xda members who are not donaters get 3 of the apps for free) which is all layed out clearly in the very first post of the thread in bold text. There is nothing in poor taste about that.
[Android Software Development] davidstre:
beta testers are a necessity. not charging for a beta does not mean it has to be given out to everyone who wants it. he could do what millions of devs do and have a closed beta where they pick 10 or 20 or however many testers and then close off the beta. this isnt a closed beta, its a paid beta and that my friend is in poor taste.
[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
I'm fine with this if the people who paid won't have to pay for the app they are testing...If not, it is problematic...
[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
wah. you are still getting the apps for "free" or potential a drastically reduced price by contributing a donation to help get the project finished. so that really isn't a paid beta. a paid beta would be paying to do the beta and that being the end of it. just sounds like you want something to complain about.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
i think its really smart what hes doing . i donated , mainly because i cant contribute in any other way ..and love instant gratification . Drake already said he is paying devs out of his own pocket to make all this happen ... the more people that pay now , the faster we get the releases in my opinion . The beta is just the icing on the cake .
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
+1 lucas/scott
[Android Software Development] fliparsenal:
Waiting until theredrakes WP7 contacts goes out of beta before i purchase, i came upon another awesome WP7 like contacts viewer.

find it here:

https://market.android.com/details?id=milkmidi.minicontact.

You should implement that letter search from this app.
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
Wow good find! So simple but i love it. Im probably going to stick to this till theredrake releases his app
[Android Software Development] :
I've just been contacted by the Launcher 7 dev. He wants us to join forces.
[Android Software Development] syrenz:
Sounds awesome. Launcher 7 is very impressive as is, currently a lot better than Metro UI. Maybe with him you'll be able to do live tiles in first version (seeing as he already has started with live tiles)?
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
I'd take Metro UI over Launcher 7. Just sayin.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Agreed. But maybe this will make him step his game up. We need 1x1 custom tiles
[Android Software Development] fsalazar504:
so whats the difference with the both? I tried them both the paid version for metro ui also and saw such little difference? Maybe the metro was a bit smoother but they both have live tiles. Just curious, i didnt spend a whole lot of time on metro ui
[Android Software Development] timmy16744:
only difference i have noticed is the amount of updates and improvements metro ui gets over launcher 7. metro ui also seems to run a bit faster in the long run and has a few more customizable options than 7 aswell. still wishing one of the launchers would add a right slide to maybe a customizable screen (mix of android and wp7)
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
GO FOR IT! join forces and create the ultimate wp7 beast. He's already got the launcher done so that's one thing checked of your list. You could perhaps give him some of your expert wisdom so he can fine tune that launcher and make it perfect.
[Android Software Development] Note2Frat:
I like the WP7 Look and was making things for windows mobile when I had a phone. I now have android, no wp7 on verizon. I have used both of the lauchers. I like the Laucher7 because it has live calendar view. Would like to see live weather or ablility to add widgets to a blank tile.

Donated :)

I also like the animation in the Launcher7, Metro UI the images stay and just keep cycling. In Launcher7 it is more like wp7
[Android Software Development] syrenz:
Oh. Still Launcher 7 is free.

I was thinking the same. Would be incredible if someone could do that.
[Android Software Development] fsalazar504:
This is good, launcher 7 is coming up. Just got an update to customize 1x1 tiles fully and it got rid of some fc issues. You should combine forces and add all those extras you were going to make to that launcher.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Thanks for the info. Just switched to launcher 7.
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
That, would be.... awesome!! Nuf siad

(Or have metro ui and launcher 7 help out)
[Android Software Development] Note2Frat:
Newest version of launcher7 now has the ability to have vertical tiles :)

He also released a paid ad free version
[Android Software Development] Benitho:
Ehhh, I probably wouldn't use it. I want the most WP7 look ever and WP7 doesn't have 1x2 (vertical) tiles.

CAN'T WAIT for Facebook integration and the "Favorites" section done. Lovin' it

Also can't wait for Zune Player. :D
[Android Software Development] losty-1H:
been tested on htc dhd?
[Android Software Development] Benitho:
Uhh, does anyone know where I can login to Facebook on the Contacts?

Or has that not been implemented yet?
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
Hi
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Hey can someone please help? I gotta? I heard that there is a live calendar function on launcher7. I've already selected calendar > extra > 2x1 option but nothing shows up but the calendar title and date. What should I be seeing? Or maybe its a function on the paid version. HELP!
[Android Software Development] Arsaw:
The calendar tile 2x1 works like widget. It will show your appointment or event for current day.
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Free or paid version? Or both?
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
From what I understand is that donate (paid) is launcher 7 without ads
[Android Software Development] syrenz:
I'm using that widget, but it only shows me the date and not my schedule for some reason.
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Syrenz, you using the paid or free version of the app
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Double post, my bad
[Android Software Development] Arsaw:
I'm using free version. It will shows only today appointment/event. Once you pick Calendar tile 2 x 1, make sure you check which calendar to use for the tile.

Note : The tile shows upcoming event just one event at a time.
[Android Software Development] eunice3:
Thanks, got it!

What is the password?
[Android Software Development] purian23:
Read through the 1st post a bit more. At this time it is a closed beta, and only the people that donate will get the password.
[Android Software Development] Note2Frat:
Bug report- I tried to add picture to a contact using the app and it wouldnt work. I picked it and it showed, will not save it. It saved, but no picture will display. Wen save picture outside the progam, it showed just fine.

Can't wait for the Zune implementation. That will be awesome.
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
Please I have a question for all member which are active in this PROJECT.

How can I donate or buy this app for testing? Or where can I find all apps with Metro UI style such as Music Player, Galery, Messaging, Contacts etc? Because i don't understand so much first post. And I wrote to TheRedDrake through Twitter but without answer.

Thanks for all if you help me :)
[Android Software Development] Arsaw:
Just click "donate me" on the left panel below the name of TheRedDrake.

After donating, just PM him.
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
And does anyone know when will be all aps relased in Market? :)
[Android Software Development] syrenz:
He said like 2-3 weeks a week ago I believe.
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
So 1 -2 weeks from now

[Android Software Development] Stalte:
Hey OP how do I update my current beta? I am still using the Feb 25 beta. You said you would try to update every 2 or 3 days so I think I may have missed something.
[Android Software Development] :
Just download from the new link.
[Android Software Development] Stalte:
Ouch that was my noob moment for the month. Thanks OP great work
[Android Software Development] bchsun:
Just wondering if anyone ran into a snafu in development. I know TheRedDrake said there'd be an update every 2-3 days, it's been about 6. Not that i'm not super pleased with the current one, or think less than a week is too long, i'm just anxious for the facebook sync implementation. In fact, how is the fb sync implementation coming?
[Android Software Development] syrenz:
Launcher7 widget support is great. Now it's looking like what I always wanted to see (best of android and wp7 launchers working in harmony). Hope more sizes get added, but for now using BW selection of 1x1 widgets is looking great.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Yeah . Launcher 7 is where it at now . I'm using the my taptu widget in a 2x1 tile , like having my live news feed there . Its awesome
[Android Software Development] syrenz:
Love the WP7 launcher UI but want a screen full of widgets or anything you could get on a normal android homescreen as well? Someone mentioned a few pages back having a screen where you could swipe from left on WP7 launcher and get a screen like that. I didn't think of this before, but saw it mentioned in a comment in a user review for it, but using QuickDesk gives you that (although instead of swiping from left you just double tap home). Using this with launcher 7 right now. Phenomenal idea.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Brilliant
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
It was i who said it! Anyway, you don't have to always bash the home button twice (at a particular speed) to bring up quickdesk. You can make it easier for yourself by setting quickdesk as tile. So now all it takes is a single tap of a tile to bring up quickdesk.

Also, for anyone who has status bar set to not visable but still wants to have easy access to the notification bar... Search for an app called hellostatusbar in the market and set it as a tile. Tapping it will pull down your notification bar
[Android Software Development] :
New version available(9th March) with hidden features. Who discovers them all first will get a special prize. Good hunting :)
[Android Software Development] Arsaw:
The "PEOPLE" title can be scrolled. But it scroll to much. It should scroll at much slower pace.

When trying to edit contact, it keep bouncing back to the top when try to scroll down.

Still unable to link to facebook and twitter.
[Android Software Development] crackedvenom2:
Is that all? The people part can scroll? Its a bit laggy too if you do it slow.
[Android Software Development] :
Nope, the features are hidden not in plain site. Search more
[Android Software Development] bchsun:
found some bugs in this one: the quick scroll tab disappears below the visible screen after scrolling through a fair amount of contacts (somewhere around 120?), the last contact's name is cut off, and when scrolling through a contact's information page, anytime you release your finger it dials them (this one's real annoying).
[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
downloaded the new file and the zip was empty.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
being able to view "all with phone" and "all with email" , thats cool . is it the feature?
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
and the search button on my phone is now working with the app .. which is also nice .
[Android Software Development] Stalte:
I like the new swipe to call and swipe to text feature
[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
nah that has been in all versions.
[Android Software Development] ragdoll20:
Hi, so i just donated, really like this project. can anyone tell me what im getting? because i already have the launcher7.. its free.. :P
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
Wondering the same thing
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
If you send Drake the confirmation he will send you a password to get the contacts app that is in the OP ...
[Android Software Development] FrameCityJackal:
This would be sick to get the Zune player on my Epic.

good luck on creating this and thank you
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
Donate send. [edit] ;)
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Not cool
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
god I hate people like THaltof!!!! They are working hard on this project and then you do this! shame on you...
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
What I did? I don't explain it. He wrote me this

Please edit your post with donate sent. ***********

Thanks

So. What I must to do. I realy don't understand what happend or if he or I can't speak english.
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
Please. Tell me what happend. I did only what he wrote. Edit my post. He didn't write it exactly
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
if people have to donate to get the password you cant post it here for everyone? the only person that have those rights is TheRedDrake and I dont think he wanted you to post it here....
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
It's my mistake. I badly undrestand his request. I think that this is a number for donating and I must edit MY post in this thread and then he will send me a next PM with password :( sh***. What i can do now for fix this. This was only misunderstanding :(
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
okey if its a mistake its okey but please try to get your info right before do anything :) just download the .rar file in the second or third post and then use your password to open the .rar file =)
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
I think that he delet all files. Because there's only empty space. And I don't know that my current password would be functional. Maybe he edit package and my password will be wrong :(
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
At least it was at like 4am not pm haha
[Android Software Development] THaltof:
I'm from czech republic and here is about 12PM

Wow those zune screenshots look absolutely fantastic ... can't wait to get my hands on that .
[Android Software Development] crackedvenom2:
yeah thats what im talking about
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
I know man .. honestly .. I might donate more if its fully functional , people already drool over my launcher and contacts app ... if I add that zune player ... I dunno what ill do haha
[Android Software Development] Feltwo:
One of the best developer project i've ever seen.

tired of similar ROMS , that improves only speed ..

Can't wait for the release of Zune player .. the best I've seen !!
[Android Software Development] crackedvenom2:
like honestly. that was really the only reason i wanted a wp7. i had a zune hd and i miss that thing. it rocked.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
I did too . Sold it when I got my fascinate . Pretty excited . I wish android would a get a lockscreen like the hd had . I have talked to a few devs and they all said it would be hard.
[Android Software Development] :
Camera app it's on it's way too.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Fantastic man . If you had to guess .... how soon do you think ? Sorry to ask for eta , I'm just very excited again haha . Wish I could help more.
[Android Software Development] Feltwo:
If devs make android device get WP7/Metro UI lockscreen or ZunePlayer , I would go crazy , this would be AWESOMEEEEE... Love them !!! can't wait for that ;dd
