Introducing, the Windows Phone 7 Android Project!
This project was launched by mobile enthusiasts to combine the ultimate mobile experience. The freedom of Android and the grace and elegance of Windows Phone 7. Anyone that has not used Windows Phone 7 is missing out on the sleek and beauty of the OS and the style of the applications. However, on the other hand, those that have used it will also notice the limitations and lack of apps that everyone is used to using.
With the WP7Android applications, you can pick and choose how much WP7 that you want on your device. This is not an all or nothing solution. You can show off your "WP7" device and wow everyone with how much freedom you have and access to ALL of the android applications!
There will be a total of 9 applications in the package that you can chose from.
*Launcher - A Metro UI launcher written from the ground up to ensure that the ENTIRE WP7 experience can be utilized. Not just a skinned or tweaked existing launcher, this is the real deal!
*Dialer - Integrated with the stock Android contacts app or the WP7 contact app, this launcher will look and feel the way it is supposed to. With enhanced Facebook integration to just stock settings.
*Contacts - Full contacts support with Facebook integration. You can scroll through your contact list and also view their updates and other status changes. Evert hing you need in one app to stay connected!
*Mail - Manage all your mail accounts through one sleek interface.
*Message - WP7 Message app with thread view
*Browser - WP7 Browser and extra features
*Camera - WP7 Camera
*Gallery - WP7 Photo/Video Gallery
*Zune-Player - All of the look and feel of the Zune music player, None of the restrictions! You can view, play and see all of your media, no matter where it is!
For XDA users 3 apps will be free(Users who donated or Devs who brought some real contribution will get all packs for free). Not all apps will be available at first. Also the apps will be closed-source and paid on the market(somebody requested that I say this clearly). If you have any comments I would love to hear them!
UPDATE 6.1: The Contacts App has been updated to version 1.1. Known issues have been fixed. This version should work without problems on Xperia X10 and Eclair. Also the Zune Player has been updated as well. Known FC's have been fixed. Buyers PM me, donators download from third post.
Attention!!!: Please note that some parts of the site are still in construction including the Shop. After you buy send a Private Message here on XDA with your email so I can send the application. If you won't I will send it only to the PP mail address.

You wouldn't need the bootloader cracked if this is a launcher replacement.
I.e. equivalent to ADWLauncher.
I dont want to start the 2.1 debate again (theres another topic for that) but we may need the upgrade before we can make a better home replacement app. (LauncherPro requires 2.1 for example)
I'll be interested in testing this though, should the project come to something

wow...nice to hear that...i wanna be tester too...
Would definitely test on dx and help with any audio related needs. Also can put me down for a massive donation if this thing takes off. Was planning on two hundred going to a wp7 device but doesn't look like Verizon will have it for a while. If this is legit... more than happy to give it to you guys.
If you guys can do it, ill beta test it

This is a duplicate post of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594055 since I figured out that maybe some other people would like my icon packs, not only the Galaxy Nexus owners.
-----------------------------------
Hi everyone,
I finally decided that my app is functioning reasonably well so I have released a Beta version to the Play Store. You can find it here:
As I said, it's a very early version of my first app but the main features work. With the app you can:
EXCLUSIVE (for now): get access to my new icon pack, Blue Flare!
EXCLUSIVE (for now): download the 3rd Addon from Splash!
Download and extract any of my packs
See which icon is present in which packs (search)
Donate to me if you feel like I deserve it
For the future I plan to add some new features including (but not only):
Ability to request icons directly from the app
Improved search (visually and functionally)
More management options for the downloaded packs (browse to location, delete, etc.)
See which icons a pack contains
Notifications of new packs available or new contents for existing packs
Please let me know what you think about it, if you have some suggestions or if you're good at Android programming (because I have a looooot of questions that need answering and would always welcome some help )
Also, please keep using the [ICON PACKS] mrFenyx's Icons thread for requests for now including for Blue Flare.
Enjoy!
I'm currently making an app that installs some stuff to make emoticons work on anything on the Android system, with a free part of the app that installs the font from the guys at No More Boxes, which allows you to see almost all of them, and then a second part, activated by either one in app purchase of either "emoji_keyboard" which installs a custom emoji keyboard, or "more_emoji" which installs a second font as well as the one that displays almost all of them, to see all but a few ones that you can see on iOS and some that iOS users can't see
Right, that's the background done
The idea is to use In app Purchases. However, using multiple guides, I have not been able to get them to work. I tried the Blundell guide, but I was left with it working but no way to respond do a successful purchase and don't know how to get it to query purchases manually
I also tried the official way, from both the Android developers site and the blog branched off there, but was left with force closes when the activity started as it couldn't set up the service correctly - the instructions aren't the most clear either
Finally, I found the AndroidBillingLibrary, but that's for API version 2, which is now depreciated.
So I ask, what methods have people on here used?
Thanks

I received build MRA58R today via official OTA. Device is unmolested (bootloader never unlocked). It was 702 MB and everything went very smoothly. The device is really snappy--I'm a happy big red customer!
Nice explanation of Marshmallow new features:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/google-nexus-6-update/
Here's the text from the link posted above.
Google Nexus 6 Software Update
[Updates]
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a software update for your device. This software update has been tested to help optimize device performance, resolve known issues and apply the latest security patches.
Before you download:
Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network, or make sure it has a strong Verizon Wireless network connection.
Ensure your battery is fully charged before starting the software update.
Current Software Update Benefits
Software Version: MRA58R
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software update for your Nexus 6. Android™ 6.0 Marshmallow improves your mobile experience with new battery-smart features and enhanced app permissions that give you even more control.
Now On Tap: spot-on answers, fast
Now on Tap, a new feature powered by Google™, helps you stay on task by instantly pulling up relevant information, like driving directions and restaurant reservations, letting you get more done.
A battery that works smarter, not harder
Android Marshmallow's new battery features help your device retain its charge longer.
Doze: When your device is at rest, Doze automatically puts it into a sleep state, but will still allow all your alarms, notifications and calls to ring through.
App Standby: Your seldom-used apps will go into App Standby in order to conserve battery power for the apps you use more often. If an app hasn't been used for several days, its power consumption is reduced to zero. Apps will come out of App Standby immediately once you interact with them.
New app permissions
You now have specific control over what info you share - no more all-or-nothing access. Android Marshmallow lets you define what you want to share and when.
Simplified app permissions
Permission requested only when relevant
User controls to turn on/off any permission, at any time
Link apps without a prompt
Android has always let apps register themselves to handle web URL links. With the new app links feature, the transitions between apps are even more seamless. The platform can determine the default app to use for a particular web link and skip prompting users to select an app.
For example, clicking a LinkedIn connection request in an email could automatically launch the installed LinkedIn app to complete the action, instead of showing the user a disambiguation dialog or launching a web browser.
Direct Share
The Direct Share feature lets users share content directly to targets, such as contacts, within other apps. Previously when sharing content via the Share menu, the user would have to go through a two-step process. First, choose the destination app and then choose the target, such as particular contacts, within the destination app. But apps can now define direct share targets that launch a specific activity that is directly exposed to the user via the Share menu.
For example, the direct share target might launch an activity in another social network app, which lets the user share content directly to a specific friend or community in that app.
Text selection & text editing
Selecting text is easier in Android Marshmallow, with word-by-word forward selection and character-by-character backward selection for increased precision.
After you select the text, actions such as Copy, Share, and Search are shown in a floating toolbar above the selection. When you use an external keyboard to edit, you can use Ctrl-z and Shift-Ctrl-z to undo and redo changes.
Easier device migration with Auto backup for apps
When apps are installed on a new device or an existing device that's been factory reset, they automatically retain previously associated user data. Account information, settings, game scores, and even the layout of the launcher are restored. Default app settings, sync settings, and keyboards are also automatically backed up and restored on new devices.
Simple notifications and volume control
Android Marshmallow adds a Do Not Disturb feature (formerly Priority) with improvements to the design, including:
None/Priority/All are now activated with simple on/off switch.
Clearer options such as Total Silence, Alarms only and Priority.
More precise control of Priority modes, such as for repeat callers, and also by notification category, and starred contacts.
Additional rules flexibility, including those based upon events or with a custom duration.
Each sound stream can now be individually controlled.
Peeking Notification (formerly Heads-up Notification)
Has smoother animations and the ability to configure the behavior of each app.
Next steps and additional links:
Please allow additional time for the apps on your device to continue to download after the software update.

Good question, thats what i wanted to know also, i assume the base is the same as everyone is using in their roms, or the roms might even have a newer marshmallow base

Confirmed mine is 27R.
Ditto... 27R here, as well.
Can anyone let me know if they now are able to use the voicemail icon in the dialer after this update? I dont have this on pure nexus, but a friend with a nexus 6 that just took the OTA says it appears now
The voicemail icon in the dialer (it's actually in "recents") says my VM box is empty. The Verizon visual VM correctly shows what's in my inbox. All messages predate installation of Marshmallow (MRA58R). I'll test to see what a new message does and advise.
Result: VM in recents still shows empty. Verizon visual VM apparently overrides it (IOW, they don't both work). Does the VM in recents work OK on Verizon for non-Verizon Nexus 6's?

Installed on my 950 XL and had a quick play with it. it seems to work very well, nice job! :good:

I'll test it further later, but this is a nice start

@Pasquiindustry
Thanks for this great app! I hope you'll add authentication for developer mode soon.
Logging would be very handy for anyone trying to troubleshoot issues. Might help to find a rogue process or something. Is this something you could add down the track?
@the_scotsman I will try to add more functions within the next release, I'm writing a to-do list with every suggestion and that's a very long list XD
Unfortunately, that's an IAP error within the Store :S
Update available! (v 1.5)
Changelog is available within the opening post
Great job! Thanks for implementing authentication.

Crashed during start up, can't pass through the startup screen.
@Pasquiindustry, the app is cool but it never remembers the password..
1. Install app from Store
2. Pair with phone
3. All OK & works
4. Close app & open it again
5. Need pairing again......

I've notices something similar within the latest insider build. It seems that Windows is taking too much time to load the app. If you try multiple times, the app will start.
I'm pretty sure that's not a bug related to my app because there isn't anything running at the app startup.

Yes, that's normal on phones with TH2. This got resolved with Redstone, but this require an update (don't worry, it's coming really soon and will contain a lot of new features ).
It seems that the "remember this device" function is bugged and return an error if enabled. So if you want authentication, you need a new passcode everytime you run this app.
can you save last IP and connect again during app start? Currently I have to connect each time again to my local IP of my phone to see the data
I conect to host: 127.0.0.1.
I also do this, but I have to go to configuration and connect each time I start the app again. I want to start the app and the app should connect to localhost each time
