This is very important to me, please take 10 sec to read

Hello guys,

I'm a WP7 User and a photographer. It would be really helpful if dev's can make a DSLR Remote Control App. I'm tired of being teased by friends who use iPhone and Android telling me my decision about WP7 was wrong(These dumb asses dont know how awesome WP7 is).

Here is the one for iPhone :

Here is for Android :

I'm damn sure that photographers including me would be more than pleased pay for such app.

P.S. Ignore if this is not possible (I don't know anything about Software Developing)

P.P.S. Please Post a link if such an app is already in marketplace or xda-developers forum

Thanks,

Akash.

just an idea

I am asking the developers that be to cook a ROM with a difference....maybe like a wallpaper behind the tiles or the list....or a different front screen that does have the tiles. I have been flashing any new cooked ROM but they all have the same tile screen.....the difference is the addition of languages......please DFT, intrinsic and all the others...pleaseeeee

I have few small requestes for Developer/Unlockers

* To Type the message "HELLO" (All Caps, I have to hit Caps button everytime for each alphabet. Instead of this, if first two letters are typed in Capital letters, set capital keyboard until next Caps button is hit. (It's same as in Symbian/Nokia phones, so far which I used) -- It could have been small registry tweak

* Save message Application - We know we have to keep some of the messages for personal use. There's no way of saving a message in WP(if I want to clear inbox, but want to keep important messages aside). A small application to save important messages. An extra option for each message (delete/forward/copy/"Save")

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in developing a Sickbeard app for WP7.

Sickbeard manages your TV Show collection, metadata, etc and downloads new and old TV episodes using SabNZBD => www.sickbeard.com

It's awesome.

They also recently developed an easy-enough-looking API to view and control Sickbeard => API - JSON

This has led to the development of an Android app and an iPhone app, and they look pretty awesome. Admittedly the iPhone app is having a bit of trouble getting on to the Marketplace, but since MS is cool enough to allow uTorrent control apps on the WP7 marketplace, there shouldn't be any trouble with a Sickbeard control app.

I can't code. Simple as. I tried to resurrect some of the stuff I learnt in college and it turns out that I learnt nothing in college, so that was the end of that. But I'm wondering if someone here would like to give it a go.

Go team! Sickbeard 7!

Marine chart plotter / routing / information

There are several nice GPS / routing apps around however still nothing truly marine oriented, maybe with the exception of Nautical Charts by Nomad Electronics which unfortunately is only good for the U.S.

There have been applications for winmo such as Memory Map and Pocket Sailor which more or less suited the needs of leisure sailors but such efforts by traditional software houses are absent from the wp7 platform and that's a shame.

Especially with the hardware now available tons of innovative features can be included in such an app; from simple position plotting to directional input (magnetic /gyro) to live weather, rolling-waves period in relation to stability, AIS live traffic, well sky is the limit...

I can totally agree that such an app could be possibly targeting a limited group of users and maybe that's why traditional developers so far do not bet their chips on wp7 but I guess all users deserve to have options.

I do not have any coding skills but I am a master mariner and I do have extensive knowledge and experience of almost all chart plotters / ECDIS programs out there.

I can provide the know-how about the required features and layout, ergonomics and quality / safety assurance.

If anyone's interested please let me know and we can give it a go.

[Q] ZuneStore.sdf Editor

Is there anywhere a Editor for the ZuneStore.sdf? This seems to be the Database on Windows Desktop, to hold the Zune Library. Main purpose for me is to relocate the files in the Database. For Instance: Im using my Library on Computer A, there my MP3 Files are on Drive D:\ and then i will move to a new computer B. For some reasons my MP3 Files are now on Drive E:\SomeFolder\.

I would like to keep the State of my Music , specialy LastPlayed-Timestamp and Playcount, since this is not stored in the MP3 Tag, its stored only in the Database.

Does anyone know of a simple calendar application whereby us poor souls who work shift work could have a bold colour-coded month by month calendar showing us our shift patterns for the year ahead?

I would specifically want one which would show the shifts I work coupled with the slightly different shifts my wifeworks, so that, at a glance, I could see whether we are working compatible shifts on a given date?

At present I have a simple laminated card with a heavily shrunk copy of our shifts calendar but would prefer something a bit more usable on my phone.

Is there a way you can do this via office? I did log into hotmail calendar but it seemed quite unwieldy. I don't need any functionality in the app, simply a means to look into the future (?!? - lottery numbers anyone?)

Kindest regards,

A notification app

Just like a notification bar shows ALL the notifications, windows doesnt have any centralized notification bar.. U have to have all ur apps as live tiles to see any missed notifications, instead make a single app that shows the notification msgs or number of notifications from apps like watsapp, IM+ etc. Thus, helping reduce the number of tiles required.

Doesn't seem like this thread gets much attention, but I have a request/question. It seems WP7 lacks a good deal of emulators and I'm curious as to why. All I have seen is the NES one and the classic gameboy emulator. If I recall correctly, one of the problems was the inability to use native code, but that appears to be doable now.

I would love to see a Gameboy Advance emulator for WP7. Back during the Zune HD days they even had an emulator for the Gameboy Advance. If the Zune HD had a homebrew Gameboy Advance emulator, then what is stopping WP7 from having one?

Here is a link to the Zune HD Gameboy Advance emulator. I'm not sure if its helpful, but they have the source code: http://code.google.com/p/visual-boy-zune/

Aircraft refueling calculation app

Hello all! It's been a while since I've been on XDA (sidestepped to Symbian for a while), but since I own my Lumia I've been searching, waiting and hoping for a specific app. :(

I'm an aircraft technician and on daily basis I'm required to do certain calculations when refueling aircraft (e.g. converting liters into kilograms by multipying with density and calculate difference in indicated and actual fuel uplifts)

Ofcourse I can do this with a pen, paper and an old-fashioned calculator, and when I'm feeling lazy I use a selfmade excel-sheet with automated calculations which does the trick.....

But an app would be very handy and possibly a bit less time consuming. I know apps that are able to do this are available for IOS and Android (like "Fuel Uplift Calculator Lite"/"Fuel Uplift"/"Aircraft Fueling" for IOS and "Aircraft Fuel UpliftCalculator" for Android)

Anyone willing and able to be the first to create this for WP7 and make it available through WP Marketplace?

Basically it would come down to this (and I could send the excel for reference):

Uplift 1: xxx liters

Uplift 2: xxx liters

Total uplift: xxx liters (uplift 1 + 2)

actual uplift: xxx kilograms (total liters multiplied by density (s.g.))

Remaining fuel: xxx kilograms (indicated fuel)

Departure fuel: xxx kilograms (indicated fuel)

calculated uplift: xxx kilograms (departure fuel minus indicated fuel)

discrepancy: xx kilograms (calculated uplift minus actual uplift)

discrepancy: xx percent (discrepancy in kg's divided by calculated uplift x100)

Probably any pilot or technician using WP would be interested in having an app like this available on marketplace, but appearantly none of us are able to create it :p

Best regards! Frrrits :D

Notification Alert application ?

Hi All,

I am not a developer and I was wondering if its possible with the new SDK from Heathcliff74 and the fully unlocked roms to develop an application that will use sounds to alert us of a new "missed call", "sms", "calendar event" and so on... This must be customizable as to how many times to alert us, what sound to use, maybe a scheduler for this to run. The alert should go off as soon as you see the missed call or read the new sms.

I think a utility like this will be very useful. What do you think??? Any developers out there that can give us some info if this is possible?

Thanks. GIPAQ

Telldus Tellstick Net Windows Phone 7 app

Hi

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I will anyway, because if you don’t know the answer maybe you can direct me into the right places.

I recently bought Tellstick Net (telldus.com), and is now home automated, with all its features. What is Tellstick? In short it gives you possibilities to remote control lights, switches, heating, sensors +++

The problem is that Telldus only has phone app for apple, there is also one for android, called RemoteStick.

this tellstick can control a lot of switches,dimmers, temperatur, log data, and it is not locked to brand.

My question 1: anyone who know who would be interested of making this app for windows phone?

Question 2: is there any channel/media/chat for suggesting or requesting other apps or ideas for windows Phone?

Skydrive App backup for unlocked ROMs

Specifically, this app should reverse lookup the IDs to get app names listed in the Applications\Data folder, and allow you to, using checkboxes, batch upload selected entire folders to skydrive.

This app should also be able to batch import these folders from skydrive, also via checklist.

Basically, whenever I flash a ROM I need to go and manually back up the isolated stores of all my games for gamesaves, because none of them support backups... and a lot of apps don't either. Moreover it's simpler to have apps be restored to the exact state you left them at (tango for example, which requires you to reregister for every install). It'd be nice to have a utility that could move all of these things to and from skydrive for me.

Optionally, there could be a way to set a weekly reminder to back up your data.

If someone wants to do this, PM me and let me know you're trying!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] dragonide:
Yea I think this is priority too ...

A first step would be to backup the list of applications, having the marketplace reinstalling them without manually selecting every single one of them.

Backup of isolated storage is a further step.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] link68759:
Isolated storage is significantly more important to back up, as it often just *cannot be replaced*.

Reinstalling apps can be annoying, but it should NOT be a priority above backing up isolated storage.

Hi devs!

Do you think it is possible to tweak the volume bar, where you can switch from "ring+vibrate" to "vibrate", to include more options? Because if I want to go full silent, I have to go to parameters and turn off "ring".. A bit annoying.

So is it possible if you press several times to switch like this:

1) Ring + Vibrate

2) Vibrate

3) Ring

4) Silent

It would be very handy!

Even greater, an app like I used to use on Symbian: "Situations"

Not as advanced as the Nokia one, but at least to automatically turn off ring when you reach your wifi's work or a gsm antenna or GPS position..

Thank you very much and keep the good work!!

start screen profile manager

[IDEA] with the recent leaks of wp7.8 roms, the tiles layout offers more function i am currently almost changing the tile layout daily according to my tasks, wherther at home, work or going out.i noticed that for every occasion, i will arrange and pin certain tile as i have a better way of accessing apps/services related to the thing i am currently doing because scrolling down and trying to find that certain tile can be taxing.

is it possible to have an app that can save a particular tile layout into a profile. and these layouts can be assigned to a small tile that can be pinned to the start screen, so that i can save say, 4 tile layout profile - work, home, going out/social and travel, with different tile layouts, where i can change the layout by pressing them.

i realize that most change made to the registry have to be applied after a soft reset, but i guess it is easier to have profiles than to have to rearrange them again and again by memory alone.

I am a dev, but this seems out of my realm and ability. What I would LOVE is to have my phone re-notify me when I miss a call, text, or email, it would re ring me or vibrate me. WM6 used to have an app for that, I know the app was third party but it still did it. It seems like something that could be possible maybe through reading the registry or something, just not sure how I could proceed myself. Maybe have some settings on how many renotifications and how long to wait kind of thing. A homebrew app is fine for me since my phone is unlocked.
