[Android Software Development] Misleadingg:
What is wrong with your rar. files? when i try to decompile it asks for a password???
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
...because there is a password. Must help develeop or donate to development to get access. Its stated over and over in here man.
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
How much for the donation? I'm seriously considering getting these apps.
[Android Software Development] bchsun:
Don't donate just yet, if I were you I'd wait and find out if donators get the apps after the closed beta is over (which for the contacts app is now)

TheRedDrake didn't mention it in his last post. Originally he said they would, but in his most recent post he said pay and then PM him for the app.

Soooo... In summation, wait to donate until he's responded. If you're donation doesn't get you the apps you might as well just buy them as he releases them. I mean he only released three closed betas of the Contacts app, and juuuuuust released the first closed betas of the launcher and zune apps. He vaguely mentioned that the camera app would be released soon awhile ago, but hasn't mentioned it in almost a month and has released other apps in the meantime without addressing it.
[Android Software Development] TheSobadef:
Waiting on PM for my Contacts app purchase!!

Can't wait to give it a try :D

After reading through the forums though, I haven't found too many people who commented on it? How is it?
[Android Software Development] :
I will upload the contacts today. As I said donators get the apps for free. I am a man of word.
[Android Software Development] moky2008:
The arrows are not revered... that's the way they suppose to be. They show the direction you have to drag the screen to show the next screen. Why would the tile arrow point to right if the page actually slides left? (i guess is only a matter of perception)

To delete a tile just drag it outside the left screen margin (about half it's size).

As for the tiles disappearing... they only do that if you activated FiledPreview, meaning you've selected a category. When you pinch on different tiles (you have your two fingers on two different tiles and pinch) you'll get the category screen. You have "All tiles", "Single tiles", "Double tiles", "LiveFolders" & "Widgets" categories. You navigate through them sliding left/right/up/down. When you selected the category you want pinch on it and your tile screen will allow you to see only that type of tiles. Repeat the process to change back or to other categories. The default is "All tiles".

You can also try this live tiles (Weather, Notes & SlideShow). Install them, pin to tiles and click on the tile for config. For the weather to work activate the weather service first from the launcher settings menu.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
is there any plan to make tiles be a full image bmp or something? thats really the main thing it is missing from the competition . if it had that it would be awesome due to the additional features thats been included .. about to test out the new apks now and see how they work .

as far as the arrows go.. it is backwards from actual wp7 . but i can definitely see your argument . Another thing i would recommend is losing the lines in the app drawer . give it a more "legit" feel.
[Android Software Development] bchsun:
I owned a Windows Phone. The arrows are most definitely reversed. They'r supposed to show that there is more is this direction.
[Android Software Development] andslide:
What's the arcive password??
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
alright .. the new weather tile is neat .. reports fine on samsung fascinate . the slideshow however , FCs when i direct it to DCIM>Camera . so not so great there . Sticky note is great , but i would like to see it cover the FULL tile . As well as have to have the option as setting a custom picture on any tile and have it cover the entire tile .

thanks for the update though :) were getting there!
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
i made a little banner if you guys wanna start sporting it :D im very proud to run the wp7 apps that we do thus far . I also made a theme for the fascinate . i know there is one for the i9000 as well . Surely there are others . Id say we have the people to justify being called a "team" haha .
[Android Software Development] :
Uploaded the released contacts app. Hope you're happy now :)

Also I will provide a free copy of the apps to the ones who will make the most publicity to the app and can prove it.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
"an error occurred while granting permission to the application"

get that when i try to get into facebook through the contacts app.

edit: after about ten tries it went through . looks great :)

Has anyone with a qvga phone tried the wp7contacts app? i'd like to know before i donate :D, and if it fits the screen properly bla bla
[Android Software Development] TheSobadef:
Just purchased the contacts, and here are my thoughts:

The gesture recognition is overly sensitive and if any angle is present when swiping down, then it will move somewhat left or right accordingly, making the scrolling somewhat unusable...

Also, when I try to log into Facebook, the Facebook screen just loops and kicks me out.

There also happens to be a black page at the far left which I assume is for pinned contacts, but nothing shows up...

Finally, you didn't seem to implement any view-settings, which means that half my contacts are email-only, often without any actual name. Moreover I found a delay with opening individual contacts, and with no semi press animation, I'm not entirely sure what some of the functions actually do.

If these things could be tweaked for the next version, youll have yourself a winner! Also one thing that would really set this out, would be to includ the option to manually link contacts like in HTC Sense.

EDIT: after looking into individual contacts, I noticed how there's a plus that reveals the function of each button and that the link button will, I assume, be used to manually limp contacts...
[Android Software Development] Pearson85:
Im wondering if I should purchase the contacts app (2.5$), or just donate him some money..

If I donate, I get access to the betas and the final versions of the apps?

Well I seem to have figured out how to sort contacts, but through Facebook and swipe problems still stand
[Android Software Development] Note2Frat:
Launcher

I tried out the launcher and found a bug. When I turn on the notifications, all the single tiles disappear. Also you can not add any single tiles, they appear and then disappear. The double tiles remain.

Thoughts on the launcher

Arrows should be reversed

No way that I could find to remove tiles once Pinned

No options to change Icons right now,not sure if it will be a feature

I would prefer the titles to be in the lower left hand corner not the center under icon

Two things that I like are the way it rotates and the menu

Is there going to be an option to change tiles to the Original Windows Phone 7 Colors

For now I prefer launcher 7 till this one gets better
[Android Software Development] paulosman:
Unfortunately I too have the loop when trying the Facebook login button in the Contacts app. It seems to be going to the login/permission screen but just backs back to contacts app straight away... weird

HTC Desire

CM7

If a logcat is needed I'm happy to provide one when I get home
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Im working on a video buddy :) will have everything thats been released so far.
[Android Software Development] midnight93933:
Thanks. lookin forward to it
[Android Software Development] bchsun:
Anyone else unable to open the new contacts app? The launcher and zune apps open fine, and the closed beta versions used to open fine too, it's just the 1.0 version.

Running a G2 with CM7.
[Android Software Development] :
Could you send a logcat?
[Android Software Development] Munkee915:
So i just bought the app through the website. Is this the same thing as a donation? Either way, I await my password :)
[Android Software Development] bchsun:
It opens now. uninstall, reinstall, reboot fixed it.

Go Sms Pro

Got a Go Sms Pro theme almost done if anyone wants . Got a few things to do still . Its nothing special really ... but neither is the actual wp7 sms haha . trying to keep it accurate .
[Android Software Development] Pearson85:
Really goodlooking :)
[Android Software Development] sualfred:
hey cool. i want it :) can you provide it?
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
i certainly will . just gotta finish first ;)

im having trouble finding a couple parts . but will either be done tonight , or this time tomorrow .. always gotta wait for the lady to fall asleep haha .
[Android Software Development] sualfred:
a little off-topic:

how do you manage to build a new go sms theme? I edited all .xml settings and .pngs from an existing go sms theme. After that i resigned it with "signapktic" on my phone but i'm not able to install it.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
check your pms :D
[Android Software Development] sualfred:
there is no pm ;)
[Android Software Development] Benitho:
I would like to know too please :D
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
i have actually hit a brick wall .. i have enlisted help haha . as soon as we get it figured out completely , one of us im sure will make a thread explaining .

GoSMSWP7

I'm not trying to hijack lucas.scott here but recently I stumbled across a GoSMS theme here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/130700-request-wp7-messaging-mod.html

...but it wasn't complete enough or me so I took the liberty to make it a bit more authentic and also updated it for GoSMS Pro. I still have a little more to do (some xml text editing and updating to the latest GoSMS version) but if anyone wants to try out what I've done so far I have attached the apk.

Just play with the Appearance Settings to get it how you want it.

Enjoy!
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
hahaha awesome man . saved me some time . thats pretty solid . I might make a few tweaks of my own to it if you dont mind . or may just finish mine anyway .. which may be pointless since this is pretty much the same thing ;)

edit: ahhhh , i see you edited the actual gosms app , not a theme ... so in theory , what i have been doing isnt pointless :) thank you very much for this new base though :) definitely puts it to another level of authenticity .
[Android Software Development] paulosman:
i did a bit of both actually. some of the images are the base app, some are the Dark theme. you need to apply the dark theme for it all to look correct. it wasn't the 'tidiest' way for me to do it but it works ;)

Hack away at it, sir!
[Android Software Development] Note2Frat:
Contact app works really good, are you going to add a call history (recent) on blank panel on the left. That would be awesome.
[Android Software Development] digitalcoder:
How does this contacts app compare with wp7contact from the market? Same sort of deal?
[Android Software Development] Note2Frat:
Contact app has 3 pages, one blank, one that has all contacts (can select all or tap on it and it then changes to contacts with phone numbers and tap it again and it has contacts that have emails listed), 3rd page has facebook.

Much more than the simple wp7Contact.

Also you can enter contacts and edit them as well. There is more that I am missing.
[Android Software Development] digitalcoder:
Cool, thanks
[Android Software Development] sualfred:
Hey guys!

scott and i discussed a bit and now im managed it to build a valid theme for gosms WITHOUT editing the main app by itself.

here you go:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13428027/GOSmsThemeSimpleBlueW7.apk

have fun with it :)

after it, you have to choose "simple blue" theme in gosms because the app has its own index of available themes. I tried to give it a own theme name, but when i did it, it doesn't in the themelist.
[Android Software Development] kevin2516:
I can't link Facebook as well, it just loops back to the app.

Facebook works for now on CM7... so it might just have been the rom I was using. Also, it's not all that useful without the ability to download the facebook phonebook, so I guess I'll wait for an update, but overall, this is great stuff!

Launcher

I did a wipe and reinstall of my phone and then installed the launcher, I added one tile and it stayed (WP7Contacts). I launched the file and closed out and it was still there. I pressed on the arrow and it is now gone. I tried to pin an application and it appears and immediately disappears. The launcher looks alot like 7launcher.

I am running MIUI 1.4.15

Do you know when there is going to be an update?

Is there going to be animated tiles?

Is there going to be an option to have WP7 pre-defined colors as an option like in Metro UI?

Thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] Knackstulle:
... now, i'm waiting for a PM :))

i can't wait :3
[Android Software Development] radiance26:
Why don't you post your app on android market, it would be easier for me to buy it.

BTW good work, seems great.
[Android Software Development] Shadewalkerz:
hey guys, how can I get the launcher?
[Android Software Development] :
Ask your beloved Google why Romanian devs can't sell apps.:mad:

Anyway here is the latest Launcher atached
[Android Software Development] hanschke:
i have bought now. the pp adresse is the same like i will send you within the pm ;)
[Android Software Development] radiance26:
Ok, too bad for you, hope to see your app on market one day. Until this I'll keep one eye on this thread.
[Android Software Development] hanschke:
any plan when the launcher will come?
[Android Software Development] Note2Frat:
Thanks for the updated launcher, arrow bug is gone and like some of the New pin functions.

To anyone using the launcher, I just figured out to remove an unwanted tile you slide it to the left. :)

Would like to see it more like the launcher 7 option if it is possible.
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
Got the app, seems I could not log in to Facebook as well. Hope it gets fixed in a future update.

How do I send a logcat? :P
[Android Software Development] shohid1234:
Hi WP7 Team, just bought the app, Thanks for sending it quickly but its force closes upon starting on my xperia arc. Have you built in any support for this phone? its resolution is 480 by 854.

So how long do I have to wait until I get the app? I purchased it a couple of hours ago.

[Android Software Development] moky2008:
If you get instant FC try wiping the data first. The db was modified to accommodate the full tile/custom tile picture functionality. Also check out the new contact tile concept(pin from contact app)... waiting on opinions.
[Android Software Development] :
Forum on the official site is done. Feel free to post here or there as well.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Wipe just the apps data, or the entire phones data. And if you just said you added full picture tiles, you're the man. Was waiting on that to make the video for YouTube.

Ill get on that today and direct people over to the new forum :)

Ill report back here too with the opinion of the launcher .. if wiping data works.
[Android Software Development] jnad32:
Will this be available through the market?
[Android Software Development] :
I think I already answered this question.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
data wipe on just the app fixed the FC issue :)

full tiles look great , although we need the option to remove the title bar if we want.

i have pinned both the wp7contacts app , as well as the stock contacts app. so far its not doing anything . so i cant see what the concept there is .

would still like to see that arrow reversed to match actual wp7 . and the line dividers taken away from the app drawer to match actual wp7.

also , would it be possible for you to either implement segoe ui light font in the app itself ? or at least make the font default to the system font ? i made a wp7 theme for the fascinate , and with other launchers , when i go to the app drawer it looks legit because it uses the system font . which in my theme is segoe ui light . would just like to see everything play nice with each other .

other than those few things , the launcher has already come a long way . enough to the point where it could replace launcher7 or metro ui . it would be a no brainer if you could get those above mentioned details worked out though .

thanks .
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
And I believe that answer is no. Sad, really. How about publishing it on YAAM or have someone trustworthy enough to market it from another country (assuming it is legal)?

Still getting loops while trying to log into Facebook. I'll send a logcat later after school.
[Android Software Development] moky2008:
I'll look in to that...

To pin a contact you must have the WP7Contacts app installed. You do it from the pin button of the WP7Contacts app.
[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
Not exactly, pas vraiment...:)

I like Sliderscreen because it is different and very practical. All your info in one screen (although larger font wouldn't be a bad thing !). Plus, it has a professionnal look that I like.

BUT : not enough updates. Development takes ages on that home and major features are missing (music row, quick settings, etc.), making it hard to use on a everyday basis. I HOPE they'll start to work harder soon but if not, it will just be a missed opportunity.
[Android Software Development] lukky19:
ok I hope this project will be enable to run on HTC Wildfire and yea I can test it on this phone but I need it to be able to make phone calls and send sms or mother will just kill me :D
[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
Any news for the project ? A twitter account would be great. Seems like a lot of testers, which is pointless for now, and very few developpers.

I think it would be nice to add categories to the application list. Because scrolling through hundreds of applications won't be intuitive at all...:)

For an alternative :

It's the new project of the Zone Home app. Looks way more promising...
[Android Software Development] :
No It's not dead just slow going.
[Android Software Development] EggoEspada:
I can see that. I wish I could help development of this, as I have been wanting something like this on my Droid. If you'd like though, I can help find developers willing to contribute with this project.

Also, might I suggest contacting Faded Divinity and working on a WP7 launcher being hes working on a Zune launcher currently, which is similar.
[Android Software Development] DigitalDementia:
Count me interested ;)
[Android Software Development] :
Thanks for the assistance, if you could find and contact other developers for me it would be great. Waiting forward to this! :o
[Android Software Development] :
How are you willing to contribute?
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
@TheRedDrake

Good luck man! And I don't agree with DannyBiker on the sliderscreen. The Zune HD lock screen was magnificent and relates better to the metro ui.

@All

Looks like the OP and the creator of Zune Home/Faded Divinity are working together now:

[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
The sliderscreen ? I don't recall talking about that...

Also l.m.prowse as I remember you have donated, you can get the app from the third post.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
I believe its "yet another android market "

You should look into androidpit as well. I know they work with foreign devs really well.

Im not sure about appbrain or Amazon appstore. Would definitely be beneficial to you to get them on some sort of store though. Instead of just website.
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
Yep, I recall YAAM is developed in-house here at XDA, so developers have another repository in which to publish apps. Other repos as Androidpit and Appbrain may also welcome you for publishing.

Good luck. :)
