Hello gentlemen,

First of all sorry for the delay. I was very busy finishing a couple of projects and the little time left was totally booked for my two kids and my wife. Now I'm just coming back from vacations, and ready to continue working on fleux.

It's good to see the interest on Fleux stills alive. Answering some of your questions, Fleux is a development component, it's not a theme, skin, or an application. Fleux can be used by developers for building compelling apps for Windows Mobile (it's not for WP7).

Fleux is not just a Panorama control, it includes an animation engine, gestures detection mechanism, and other useful controls like a pivot and a touch scrollable list.

About design-time support, it's not on my list for now. I agree it would be a nice feature, but a good design time experience requires a huge effort and I don't think it's a priority right now, and I know what I'm talking about, I work for one of the companies that has the biggest expertise in Visual Studio extensibility, and for Fleux I decided to prioritize an easy to use API, which can help to build a natural adaptable and responsive UI, over a design-time experience.

I'm glad to see that there are some apps already using Fleux. I know it stills in development, but I think the code base you can find on CodePlex is a very solid starting point for any further development. However, I will continue working on it, and my first goal is to have a faster version allowing compatibility with older devices. This was something I wanted done last year, but unfortunately I didn't have the time for achieving it. But now I can complete the work in progress, I was very close so I think I'll have some good news soon.

About the Windows Mobile Last Stand thread, I like the idea. I'm currently using a WP7 Samsung Focus device as my daily cell phone, but I went back several times to my HD2 for using the WiFi tethering or for using a better GPS Navigation software. And I should say that if we can patch the usability issues on WM, it stills unbeatable.

I know most of you want to test fleux on your devices, and I'll try to make it possible soon.

Thanks again!

I am very happy to see that the project is still alive!

I tried the demo application on my Raphael and, despite some slowing down, I was impressed with the quality of the system.

I can not wait to try a version optimized for older systems.

Excellent, I've been meaning to download and try out the samples.

Will watch with interest.

WooW WoooW !! I have watched your video and it's very very beautiful and smooth :)

I will try this SDK when you publish it !

It'es very very nice to you to keeping support wm6.5 :)

I hope we will have some news about windows embedded handeld.

Just a question, is this sdk compatible wm6.5 and wm6.5.x too ?

Thanks a lot my friend for your hard work !!!!

I've only done this on stock roms. What happens when you do this if your on a custom Tom?
[Captivate General] bash_array:
If you perform a factory reset on a rom using the phone's factory reset under privacy it will brick your phone more than half of the time... Would not advise.

Have the captivate odin3 one click stock flash on the ready and before you do anything, back up your apps with Titanium back up. Type "captivate bible" in google and it will take you to the proper place.

I thought it might be good to have a central place to post information about Gingerbread for the Dinc. I am thinking we can use this thread primarily as a clearinghouse for "news", speculation, rumors, etc.

I remember the way Verizon and HTC left us twisting in the wind for months with Froyo, forcing users into wild speculation and a lot of useless "inside information". Use this thread as you see fit. I would ask, however, that you do your best to include a citation and/or weblink for information you provide here to help users decide the value of your information.

I imagine the devs will have their own ROM/Theme/Kernel-specific information regarding Gingerbread in those threads so obviously check there also.:D
[Droid Incredible General] ptgay49:
Senior Member "DS36" posted some information this morning regarding Gingerbread in a thread I started yesterday asking if we should start a Gingerbread. Here is his comment from that other thread:

"Yes start the thread

Thank you, DS36, for providing this information. Apologies in advance for cutting and pasting from your original post.

Eric Schmidt Demos Nexus S Running Gingerbread

15 November 2010 by Dylan Bailey

Google CEO Eric Schmidt was on stage at the Web 2.0 Summit and then all of the sudden he pulled out one of the most talked about phones of the last few weeks: The Nexus S. He didn’t go into much detail, he even left out which manufacturer is making the Nexus S, even though it’s very obvious.

While he was on stage he also mentioned that Android 2.3 should be out in the “next few weeks” and Google TV integration with major networks is going well.
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I believe I'm excited
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I just realized the minimum requirements for gingerbread are what our phones have do you think this may mean well miss updates after 2.3?
[Droid Incredible General] DS36:
The hero and Eris have froyo....
[Droid Incredible General] jbrowning37:
@Lee Like any great phone, this one is becoming obsolete. Some time after 2.3, our contracts will start to be up for renewal and we will get the next latest, greatest phone just like this one once was. It's a vicious cycle that never ends. But with advances in operating systems, there will always be advances in hardware. Who knows, our next phone may have a quad core processor. Let's just hope battery technology advances lol.

[Droid Incredible General] ptgay49:

Good point. Since the Dinc is my first smart phone, it seems like I'll want to use it "forever". But with electronic gadgets changing and, for the most part, improving so rapidly, I guess that is not realistic.

My goal is to brick my Dinc exactly 730 days after I bought it.:D
[Droid Incredible General] Riley1524:
Personally, I believe the DINC will still be able to handle a couple more updates with ease. If you look at lower end phones like the G1, Hero, Eris, etc, there will always be those awesome devs tweaking the code to make certain phones work, even if the update wasn't specifically made for a particular model( i.e ERIS and the froyo uodate.)
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I just love my dinc. I actually got mine rather recently and I doubt ill ever wanna give it up. Although I will throw it off the bridge if I can get a quad core lol.

Random extra thought... What is the word of dual core phones? I remember reading something about some phones possibly being made with dual core.
[Droid Incredible General] DS36:
Chips go on market in 2011

Dual 1.3 and 1.5s

Plus most high end phones should sports samoled in 2011

Looks like Google won't be waiting for the Nexus S to debut GB..

Windows Phone 7 and Android (Gingerbread preparation) Marketplace updates

November 21, 2010 By Joan Lee

Android’s upcoming update with codename “gingerbread” still unavailable, but report says Android marketplace will get few tweaks before the launch. Plus, Windows Phone 7 catching up with new apps.

Google’s mobile OS, the Android 2.3 with codename “Gingerbread,” is just around the corner. And before its launch, reports say few changes on Android’s marketplace interface for developers were seen.

This only means one thing, more “cool” apps for Gingerbread are possible.

There were improvements last week called ”Recent changes” for applications. In this new section, users can now see the details of every changes made with the app. For example, if the developer creates one new feature like “share,” the update log made will be visible to the user who wants to download it.

In the Android developers interface, a 325 characters of space is now available, where app creators can mention bug fixes, support for additional languages, new options, and more.

Users can also feel the application “more” with the developer requirement of 1024×500-pixel graphic, plus a YouTube video link. With a bigger resolution, users can see a bigger screenshot of the app, plus developers can now add videos to give users more insights like how-to and preview. Perfect for game apps.

These updates are expected to give the Android apps more purchases, more profits and more fun (for the buyers).

Andy Rubin to release Android 2.3 Gingerbread on Dec 6?

By Chris Davies on Wed Nov 24th, 2010

Speculation is mounting that Google will launch Android 2.3 Gingerbread on December 6, when project mastermind Andy Rubin is expected to take the stage at the “D: Dive Into Mobile” show in San Francisco. The prediction, says IntoMobile, fits in with Google CEO’s Eric Schmidt’s suggestion that Gingerbread would see a release in the next few weeks; Rubin’s appearance will be three weeks from Schmidt’s confirmation earlier this month.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread will roll out to the Google Nexus One initially, and then it will be up to individual manufacturers to put their development money where their mouths have been and deliver updates to their handsets. As we’ve seen with previous Android updates, however, the timescale for that will likely vary from weeks through to months.

NOTE BY POSTER ptgay49: That last sentence is a buzz kill.:(

[Droid Incredible General] BDempsey777:
So I just happened to come across this forum while I was searching for features of 2.3 Gingerbread. Thought I would let everyone know that I got the message to download Gingerbread this morning. Have not had time to check out everything since I am at work but will once home and try to put up changes I see.
[Droid Incredible General] pchuk815:
Gingerbread hasn't been released yet. Even if it has, it takes carriers months to get it up to their standards with their own GUI's (Like Sense on HTC phones) and whatnot. You've probably only received a notification for Verizon's latest bloatware.
[Droid Incredible General] DS36:
I hope gingerbread is better than I think because it looks the same.
[Droid Incredible General] JimJohnson:
I'm sure Gingerbread will bring many cool new things - personally, I'm just hoping HTC brings Bluetooth up to snuff so I can use an external (mechanical) keyboard. As great as the DINC is, hindsight tells me that, at least for me, virtual keyboards suck for several reasons.

Gingerbread Coming to Verizon Androids Soon?

5:30 PM - December 15, 2010 - By Kevin Parrish - Source : Tom's Guide US

Verizon Wireless may be serving Gingerbread in Q1 2011.

Verizon DROID owners were recently teased with an over-the-air update almost immediately after Google officially revealed Android 2.3 (aka Gingerbread) earlier this month. Much to our disappointment, the update was merely the miniscule v2.2.1 Froyo patch that was released months ago on other devices. Sorry, no Gingerbread for us yet.

But perhaps Verizon's Android-based smartphones will get the fresh baked goods soon. According to a Verizon document to service representatives dated December 13 and obtained by Droid Life, the wireless carrier is currently determining which Android phones will receive the highly-anticipated update.

"Google's just-announced Gingerbread software is generating buzz in the media," the document states. "Initially, it is not available on the Verizon Wireless lineup of Android phones. BUT... we're working with Google as they release source code for device manufacturers to begin integration. We are also assessing which devices will get Gingerbread within the coming months."

Android 2.3 may actually arrive on all DROID models including the original DROID, DROID X, DROID 2, DROID Incredible and DROID Pro. Samsung has already stated that its Galaxy S series will receive the update, however, based on the amount of time it took for Froyo (v2.2) to land on the DROID X, it may not be until late February/early March before Verizon subscribers get a taste of Gingerbread.

I found this news story this morning on the toms guide website. Just FYI. However, the xda devs are going to be way ahead of Verizon/HTC on this.
[Droid Incredible General] SynbiosVyse:
Yes I would expect CM to be the first Gingerbread ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] csseale:
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/17/gingerbread-source-code-released-headed-to-aosp-now/

source released...
[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
I'm still not understanding what significant advantage it will have over the present 2.2. Will it be something major or just cosmetic?
[Droid Incredible General] photonmedia:
Awesome? Or Lackluster?

So we kept hearing that Google was going to be refining it's UI with Gingerbread and offering a "more polished user experience" but now that we have a couple of solid GB builds for our phones I'm wondering what everyone thinks? I mean, the UI looks pretty damn near identical other than being a little more darkly themed. And the interfaces and settings seem to be laid out in a very similar manner (some identical).

I really don't see how this is supposed to do away with HTC, Motorola, and others feeling the need to create custom (sexy) skins for their devices.

Is it just me or are others a little disappointed at how "vanilla" this Gingerbread feels? Maybe I was just a little foolish in hoping for something closer to the stuff TAT and SPB have been demo-ing for the past few months.

Gingerbread certainly runs better but doesn't seem real huge, in the back of my head I'm wondering more "if" the Incredible gets the update...at least while I still posses it.

One way to start custom executabled in windows phone 7 is following method:

1) create a exe file that runs in phone

2) create a zip file and put exe inside

3) upload zip file to some internetpage and create .html page for it with <a href.. link for it.

4) navigate to the page with phone IE.

5) when clicking the link the phone can open the zip file and display its contents (tap to open the file ...zip)

6) when clicking the .exe file the phone asks are you sure you want to run

(The program ...exe is from an unknown publisher. Running it could harm your phone. Do you want to continue?)

7)enjoy your homebrews
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
will this also work on a phone that isn't developer unlocked ?

if that is right than this is the ultimate way to jailbreak a wp7 phone :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] athompson:
Never-mind
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Nope, he isn't, and described above method works (I guess because of MS ZipView executable bug). But I can't get my apps running, probably because they are not compatible with CE 7.0 and WP7 .Net (I've tried CE 6.0 native code and .NET code).

now we need some code that works to test this

lets say an .exe that run the file explorer
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ChrisKringel:
yes. right now we don't know whether the apps are opened at all. Are the managed Apps in VS compiled into an exe? Maybe we could extract one from an xap for testing purposes...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
Silverlight XAPs use XAMLs and DLLs, no EXEs involved I'm afraid.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ChrisKringel:
Hmm yes you're right. Are there extracted executables from the leaked Mondrian ROM?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] athompson:
There are, but they are not GUI apps, they look mainly like command line executables provided by Qualcomm, and some of them look like they could mess up your phone if you don't know what you're doing.

There are some GUI apps, but they come disassembled. I've been trying to assemble them but haven't had much luck yet.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WithinRafael:
Neat. I shall put together a sample application to test this. (I have Visual Studio 2010 configured to pump out CE7 native executables.)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
I think the executable run is blocked. They left typical MS (say - stupid) dialog box but, I believe, ignore the user input...

However the Word and Excel documents can be opened this way.
