I got the idea to make a application finder software for Windows Mobile. Specially designed to HTC Diamond, with many G-apps & games and other nice apps. It's under development now, and i will release one screenshot for you.
This app will not be just an styled IE-frame, like many "appstore" like apps that have been released before.
19. October 2008:
New Screenshot of the start screen.
Development stopped, becouse of the Gecko project.
I think this is a phenominal idea. The idea that went around recently was an internet based solution through ie explorer and it just was not device friendly. To have a device based solution is much more sensable. If you could create a server that developers could upload their most recent programs too that would be the best.
Maybe contact the system admin on this site and see if he will give your program to access the sites FTP server or something. Then a user could use your device based program that would seemlessly connect to the interenet in the back ground, poll the server for software, sort it and place it into a thumb friendly interface on the phone by which it could be sorted into categories of games, utilities, themes, programs etc etc....
Of course the admin would have to create those categories on the site's side and the developers would need to upload their program to the correct one but I think everyone has been in such a need for this that they would be willing to do it without much arm twisting.
Or, you could create device user interface that interacts with Orb.com... But then you would have to get the updates of programs and upload them to ORB for your program to work. But ORB does already have a sorting feature that your user controls on the device could be made to access for sorting etc. It even has a video section that a user could download tutorials of different programs that someone took time to make.
All just ideas. Some you may find good or not. I am excited to see a device based program though. It make user intereaction easier.

yes
Its a good idea, keep working on it
seems to be a nice idea
I like the idea but this really depends on what will be offered / how updated the actual site behind the store application is. Have you had any thoughts on that yet?
i second that.
at this time i browse via opera tho xda to download stuff... but having a app that simplifies things would be even better...
maybe all the downloads here could be managed and put upto "youre" server in an automated way..
I remember seeing this article a few weeks ago about Microsoft creating their own app store.
http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/n.../job-advert-reveals-microsoft-skymarket.phtml
Either way, it's certainly a good idea!!
I forward the notion. An app that has all the apps at hand for easy download by category would kick some serious asss..
If I can help in any way let me know.
Greetings to all.
Love this development. Maybe this progress will open up eyes on new skilful programmers and we will see an increase of good looking apps and games. Not that I don't just love the things going on here at xda. But the more the merrier, right? The only complaint that I might have on this forum is the all the threads with wallpapers and especially the ones with half-naked women...But that's me...
So an app store (or two) is going to make it easier for us to sort out what we are interested in and only that.
If needed count me in I can help develop..
Great idea.
In the spirit of AppToDate, which I found worked very very well. But with YouTube-app like interface, all connected to database were latest apps can get installed.
Great idea!
I'm working to figure out how to connect to MySQL from a windows mobile based device, does anyone here know?
double post****
i think if these two threads could be incorporated
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428480
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433913
that would be a good way to do storage
each developer could use have there own account and then whenever they updated there app they update the wapps link via web or give it like some type of flash capabilities that would be really great
or there could be a generic account that ever one uses to upload too
looks like this is in the works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436127
maybe some collabo might be nice
Nice project!! GoOd Luck!!
If there was a way to advertise this app when it gets made. the diamond would sell millions
Why not just modify a RSS feed reader?

Maybe Sqlite is more accurate for a mobile device ?
And you just download the sqlite file available on a server, this way requests would be very fast.

Yes, every time you start it will update from the web or you can click on a button to update (or an 'update every x minutes' function
please keep up the hard work!!!!! love to see this appstore happen!
Hi.
I'm trying to use my G1 with the bluetooth pan network from my computer or from my mogul (which has an unlimited data plan) to go to the internet instead of using wifi to be more energy efficient.
So far, using wifi tether's bluetooth option, I manage to establish a pan network between my G1 and the computer running windows. However, traffic is not routed properly, I get "network unreachable" from the terminal when I try to ping something outside the local pan network.
Any ideas?
you cannot access the interwebs on your G1 from a network on your computer. you cannot reverse tether. it is not possible at this time, please people stop posting about this stuff
if you had searched you would have seen that it can't be done and you would have found a thread where theyare trying to get it working
I know it is not possible at this time, hence my post here.
I need someone with linux networking knowledge to have a look into this, the android platform is a bit peculiar to me, ifconfig is behaving differently on it then it does on a regular linux distro. I need help setting up the right dns entries, figuring out where they are stored in Android (resolv.conf? a property set using setprop?), etc...
The idea is to have Android connect to an existing bluetooth access point. Everything is there to do it, pand is working, a virtual bluetooth network adaptor can be created, I can even give it a proper ip address and I manage to ping it from the access point and I can ping the access point from android...
This is the perfect forum to post such a question.
Anyone else with a more useful comment?

You use the term "linux distro". Now, I know I may be beating a dead horse here, but linux is just the kernel--the rest is GNU software. Many things are going to behave differently on Android.
Exactly, what works in Fedora 10 possibly will not work in android... (and thats giving some ambition there.....)
that's exactly why I am asking here instead of elsewhere.
To tubaking182 : the really usefull answer would have been to give me a link to the right thread instead. The search features of this forum sucks.
Thanks anyway.
Hi stanelie,
I too am very interested in doing this VERY same thing. I've also searched and come up empty handed. If there is anyone out there with more information that could help please feel free to post. Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry some here do not like people asking questions but I too would very much appreciate REVERSE BLUETOOTH TETHER functionality for my Android phone. Despite what tubaking182 so very helpfully writes above (thank you ever so much!) there remains no EASY solution for this.
I will happily pay for an easy to install, reliable Android Market app that does this. I think lots of others will too.
So that there is no misunderstanding I wish to connect my phone as a Bluetooth PAN client to a Bluetooth PAN server. The server functionality is NOT required.
Thanks,
Paul
Greetings!
I've been looking for quite some time now for a way to get around the Chinese firewall on my phone. I have a paid VPN tunneling account that I use on my desktops but have had no luck getting my phone to access it. I tried openvpn client here but the program won't start on WM 6.5 (Energy Rom), all I get is "Default Ime" displayed in the upper right corner of the screen and nothing else. I've got the config, cert, ca.cert, and key files from my vpn service, but can't get the darn program to start to import them or initiate a connection.
Is there another way to do this? I really miss the Facebook integration (facebook blocked in China), YouTube (blocked), and Skype (blocked)....anyone had success with this client on WM6.5? HELP!!
THANKS!!
Am I really then only person who wants to use something like ultravpn on their Wm phone?
RealVNC makes a Mobile Viewer
you need to turn off the TouchFlo3d to see the openvpn icon
Start->Settings->Today and disable TouchFlo3d
A bit of a pain in the arse
Am still trying to get it work
Yeah, I found that. Have been getting down into the nitty gritty of the config file, I think I've got it sorted out and will be posting up here this weekend when I get some time to test. Thanks!
I am not sure if my issues are TAP Vs Tun issues. Hoping that I get to the pub early enough this weekend to get it sorted.
I sorely miss hulu.com- took them a while to twig that that the 194.xxx.xxx.xxx range was t-mobile UK.
BTW who do use for your VPN acc?
I have just signed up for a vpsville.ca openVpn account. Great price and they seem to be reliable- btw google for life-time discount codes.
Any progess with this? I have gotten to where I can get the client to connect to my vpn server and request my login info, but no dice getting the phone to route traffic through the vpn tunnel.
I've been using torrentfreedom but am looking to change as they have become REALLY unreliable lately. THanks for the tip on what you're using, checking them out now!
I hope we can get this working!
To be honest I've been too busy to play with the config files.
Forgot to mention that the vpsville.ca option is a vps server that you are allowed to run openvpn (or any other software that you want). The T&Cs say that it must be private use but I believe that you plus a friend or two on openvpn would be ok.
I like their refreshingly honest approach- unlike the those of firms/rackets such as fasthosts.co.uk.
vpsville say that you can pretty much do whatever you want so long as it is legal. I believe that they had a major ballsup last year but I have been with them for 6 months, a UK vps and a more basic USA vps and have been very happy.
Set up is pretty straight forward with root access- they have templates- if you (decide to go with them and) need help I can assist- although a Linux noob I had no real problems. Incidentally I dont need to log in with passwords etc as the set up is my own.
EDIT+++++++++++++++++++++++++
BTW what is your avatar- dont think I have seen it before- never studied archaeology
Remove openvpnmgr.lnk from Windows\StartUp folder
I got around this by removing the openvpnmgr lnk file from Windows\StartUp folder - seems like there are some bugs with the openVPN manager running on wm6.5 (it was even buggy in wm6.1) on my Sprint Touch Pro2.
any luck so far
hi guys..
were u successful in bypassing the firewall??? im also in china and tryiing to do exactly the same thing as u guys..
did u get openvpn working????
Has anybody seen, or considered developing a program similar to WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP) for the Android?
I've always been interested in hosting my own sites, and usually purchased the hosting simply because I never leave a computer on all day.
But given I leave my phone on all day, who's to say there can't be an application developed to host and constantly stream a website from the phone itself?
Would anybody be interested in developing something like this? I'd honestly throw down 10 bucks in android market for such a thing.

First, why? what's your use case? You're going to host websites to the internet off your 1Ghz mobile device? interesting thought but it'd be cheaper and less stress to just pay that web host.
Second, that'd be one hell of a way to chew through your battery?

Thirdly, you will have high bills for your transfer and users will have to wait ages for page to load.
Ahh and if you really want to do this, then you shouldn't think about neither Apache, MySQL nor PHP. You should use, what you have onboard: sqlite + Java (or maybe C) + some simple HTTP server (Java or C).
It wouldn't necessarily be for a professional site so to speak, more or less to fool around with.
For example (even though having use of facebook renders this completely useless) a blog hosted directly from the phone. Or with password protection, an over-the-web ftp to add apps to your phone from anywhere should you not have your cord on you.
Just little things to play with.
Nice addition Brut. But to clear the confusion, by saying WAMP, I was simply using it as a reference tool to get the point I was trying to make across. I didn't mean actually waste time making a work-around apache server on the droid, but simply a program that uses what's available on the phone to achieve the same ends.
Thanks for the input gents.
@Ruxton as far as chomping away at the battery, I wouldn't suspect it would use a high amount for what the uses are. Now to host some high-traffic sort of thing like google.com for example, ha, there really wouldn't be a chance to use the phone before it died. But as stated in my last post, little things for small uses. Of course, I didn't specify that in the topic start.

5 seconds (really!) searching on Google ;-) It's everything you need and I doubt you will find something better
What kills me, is I searched google for such apps using keywords (no lie, straight from my cookies) "Turning android into webserver" "host webserver from android" and "webserver app for android".
And then you come back with this. How peachy.

I'm quite sure that I requested "android http server", but now I don't see that site in search results I think it was a miracle! ;-D
EDIT:
Ahh, I have mistaken, it is right on top of results ;-)

The magic behind that miracle was that one acronym, http. Had I only used that.. lol
Another problem is connecting to your phone from rest of the world. Does your telecom give you external IP? Is it static (but this could be fixed using dynamic DNS)?
MediaWiki on Android?
Hi...
I'm interested in an "AAMP" too as I have lots of information stashed away on my laptop via MediaWiki running on WAMP. I'd love to be able to carry it around with me on my mobile phone by uploading it from my laptop's MySQL DB onto the phone (in my case, HTC Desire) if it can run "AAMP".
I just downloaded i-Jetty and what I can do with it isn't entirely apparent. Is it something that would run an AAMP and therefore allow me to do the above?
Cheers..

Not sure why the thank button is so close to the quote button... but oh well, I digress.
Have you considered dumping static pages from your mediawiki setup and then pushing those to the phone? If you don't need to edit the content, then having the full db backend on the phone is pointless. Just set up a script to dump the all the pages in an elegant way (wget comes to mind but there is probably a better way) and then bundle them for transfer to the phone.
Thanks for reply! Sorry for delay (floods tend to take you off the grid).
Not a bad idea about dumping static pages..but I would like to be able to navigate around & search through the mediawiki. Anyone have thoughts on AAMPing a mediawiki?
AAMPing a MediaWiki?
Anyone have any further thoughts or smart ideas on pulling this off?
Have you tried PAW Server?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for the reply. PAW server is an interesting bit of kit and certainly is a demonstration of what the device can serve up.
However..it isn't exactly what I'm trying to achieve. Basically...I need something which will run the php files and the MySQL database which are what MediaWiki is comprised of.
Whilst I could simply generate static pages from my Wiki's & read them directly on the phone, this means I lose all the advantages of links & searching which is one of the reasons why I put my notes in a MediaWiki to start off with.
So..anyone know of something like an AAMP?

hi i would like to learn and develop applications for android mobiles but icant get any idea about what application i should start to develop . I know java and i can understand the most of how the sdk workds with eclipse ...
The problem is that idont know what kind of application to do
Well, I dont know if anything like this exists, but I've wanted an app that would provide an in-depth view of wifi networks. For instance, my school's wifi is crap and only connects half the time. I want an app that will give me a log of errors that are disabling me from connecting so i can troubleshoot and attempt a fix.
I dunno, might be a dumb idea, but it's something I would use.
