October 6th:
Im working on the website now for us. I'll be changing this thread from "gauging interest" to the "development thread" for users of the portal to post comments and such on this thread.
a good idea my friend, but a question:
A webpage containing info for herald users, or a kind of startportal with links?
If so, that is a good idea, because there is portals, like htc's one, but it sucks big time, there is never any new stuff there, and the links provided is not so good.
I have done alot of webdesign myself, but im a better graphics designer then a coder so if you need help, just say so
Great idea, am also a web page designer and would be glad to update the page with new links as they found.
A few basics to start with would be good such as:
blogs in mobile version (engadgetmobile,gizmodo,msmobiles,modaco...)
not sure if its possible but some sort of e-mail client would be nice such as google has done with their homepage.
ofcourse you can't forget to add your fav vidz for the week or month (or atleast what you would type to search cuz everyone uses their own means for viewing videos)
of course everyone would love to see some apps on there (i'm guessing if this became widespread you could only add freeware)
the main one would be a link to the herald forum here on xda dev (im sure i ain't the only who would use this)
Thats all I can think of now, keep us updated and I'll b glad to help with anything that I can.
Great idea btw
cheers
Yes, more of a portal idea.
I'll get to work on it tonight!
Please share links you believe would be of value to have in this portal.
Suggestions anyone?

I second those ideas! Joystiq.com blog would be awesome.
I can offer you webspace so you don't have to use your school's server. I can also register a domain. Let me know if you need anything. Send me a PM and we can discuss things. Good idea you have there.
id like to built a small, only herald based forum. if you got a webspace with php imma do my best to get a fresh designed mobile device board

Sounds good man!!!
Can you rigester .com's?
In this event, I'd like to leave suggestions open for website ideas..
www.HTCPortal.com?
Whats nice is, this could be used by ALL browsers of XDA, not just us Herald guys.
Tha1nonly,
If you would like to design a forum that will run in 320x240 that we can post messages from our device, that would be AWESOME! Let me know what you plan on doing with that, and I'll be sure to include the link in my portal.
Yes, of course. Send me a PM
This is to request a Xbox Live gamertag app for winmo. There is one for the Iphone of all systems, how come MS hasnt done one for WM is beyond my imagination. There was talk back in 2006 for it, but was never launched. Can anyone create an app, Im sure alot of live gamers would be interested
Thanks
Alot of views, but no postings ...
I would love to be able to create programs but I cant
But this would be kickass!!!
Im sure MS will include this soon.
Some Assassins Creed as I type this.
Greets.
Anyone else interested ?
i'd like to see this happen. right now i just have my friends list page favorited in my browser...
sounds good, but would probably get a better response in teh developement and hacking forum
I think that is a great idea. I'm in!!
Alot of interest, but is anyone looking into this possibly?
Thx
If the OP wants, can a Mod move this to the Development and Hacking forum? Thanks.
Hello.
I discovered Mirability but unfortunatly, I am a student and I just can't buy it.
(If author read this, congratulation, it looks amazing).
Anyway, does somebody knows an alternate way to have the same result?
Thx and hope my english is not so bad

I would have a look at Fluid.
Fluid has many similarities, it looks great and it's free. The downside is that there is no real design time support in Visual Studio, there are no controls in the toolbox to drag to the form in order to design the layout. You have to design the screen with code, which means you'll only know the result by looking at the device emulator.

Check it out, have fun and good luck with your projects!
I was wondering if someone might be able to help make a pokedex app for vga phones. It doesn't have to be anything special. Just a list of the pokemon including their description and a small picture of the pokemon. It wouldn't have to look super amazing but just look nice. I was hoping to get at least the first 151 but if someone adds more that would be great. I am not a developer which is why I am making this request. I am willing to provide the description and info for each of the pokemon if someone does decide to start developing. Also I was hoping that the app could support a trainer card like it did in the games. Possibly from pokecharms.com/trainercards
Thanks

The main reason why you will likely never see such app is because unless the dev gets the explicit consent from its creator, they will get sued from here till the middle of Kingdom come for copyright infringement.
But if it is freeware and gives credit to nintendo, gamefreak, and the creators of pokemon as well as those who own the rights to it isnt that okay. I mean they even have an iPhone pokedex app and I'm sure that Nintendo didn't give permission.
You might be able to get someone to make a flash based one. I looked online, but couldn't find one.
yeah, im sure all the pokemon sites in existance all need explicit consent from nintendo.
they're not coming after you for a small WMapp that you're not making money off of.
Only for your information. I have found this..: http://forums.crackberry.com/f131/would-u-pay-pokedex-style-theme-232633/
Excuse for necroposting..
I know that 2 years have passed since someone wrote the last post but I'd to know is there any PokeDex app for Windows Mobile Device?
Hey guys,
today I come to you with good and bad news.
Bad news first: Flemmard decided finally, that he hasn't got enough time anymore to support and develop M10Tools fulltime.
That means, he is quitting the main development. This is very unfortunate because Flemmard and I are the only two person who actually know how to reverse engineere the *.m10 format.
Therefore I am searching a new developer now, who can take Flemmard's part over.
And here comes the good news: The next version is going to be OpenSource (most likely some kind of GPL).
(This doesn't include the upcoming Virtuous Ten Studio, only the decoder/encoder for the m10 files itself)
Now let's get to the actual search. The requirements are quite hard:
We search (Flemmard will be still here as some kind of help) one or two very experienced C# or C++ developers with the following requirements:
Very good experience in C# and/or C++
Windows dev of course
Experience with reading/writing binary data would be helpful
Experience with reverse engineering file formats would be also helpful
Good spoken english required (German would be nice too)
Communication is done via either IRC or Skype
Development uses SVN, so knowledge about SVN and how it works is quite helpful
Having a HTC phone with a sense 3.0/3.5 ROM is strongly advised. You don't totally need it, but it helps a lot
Now lets come to the tasks that needs to be done and the usual workflow
We do know everything important about the m10 file format, so the hard work is already done
But you still WILL be starring at your hexeditor four hours (no joke here), so if you don't like digging through hexcodes you are totally wrong here
This is not a halftime job. Writing such a decider/encoder requires quite a bit of spare time
Once I explained you most of the things we know about m10 formats, YOU will start writing a parser for those files. This is much trial and error.
The time will come where you understand the basics of the format. Then you need to finish that decoder/encoder and start working on the addtional things (mainly image decoding/encoding)
Image decoding: The images saved in m10 have different special file formats. We do know how to decode them. There is just ONE format that needs further research.
One last thing: Flemmard won't give out his current source code. We have to accept that.
As I am too lazy to put up another G-Forms thing, I'd just like you to answer here in that post if you are interested in becoming a main m10tools dev.
Flemmard and me had a great time developing this tool, so I guess this will repeat with the new guy(s).
Did you ever speak to THIS guy?

Nope, everyone should have a chance of getting in here if he is still interested, he can just post here
This is sad for our HTCs , I used to build some themes but HTC new m10 files are as bad as locking the bootloader!
Why the hell do they play like that?
Unfortunate that flemmard can't keep putting his time on this but we all understand that all devs do what they do here out of their passion and hobby not because they have to do it.
That being said, I will more than happy to help you guys here. I have been a c# developer since .net 1.0 and work with svn day in and day out. As far as reverse engineering goes, I haven't worked with hex editor much but I'm pretty comfortable with IL. Though I know we cant compare binaries with IL. Please pm me if you would like to know anything else.

because they hate people like us, messing with their files prolly
I'd say : it's as bad as a locked bootloader AND closed source camera drivers
HTC is taking a piss out of Android and open source, unfortunatly their phones have the best build quality, otherwise i would own a sony or samsung phone ...
I have a large experience on C++, and free time too

i lack on those three requirements
Experience with reading/writing binary data would be helpful
Experience with reverse engineering file formats would be also helpful

I do not have experience in C. I have experience with free time at work (midnight shifts) and looking at hex code most nights. I would love to help when and where I can with that portion of it. I also have an HTC EVO 3D (Sprint CDMA, not rooted, has 1.50 hboot which I am trying to bypass), an HTC Thunderbolt (Verizon & rooted & primary phone), and an old HTC HD2 which has had android and winmo, all of those are available for testing if need be.
Good to see M10Tools is coming back hope to see OSX and Sense 3.5 support soon. Thanks so much for all the work you (Diamondback) and Flemmard did and hopefully will continue. You make it easier for us to theme Sense and we are grateful for all of the work you have done for us.
sweet hopefully m10 tools will make a comeback!
Wondering if you guys ever found the extra help you were looking for? I love m10 editor
