[APP] Pandemonium VGA - Themeable Sound Board

Hi, Well I have finally got round to finishing enough of this application to give you a version. Unfortunately all the features I wanted to release are not there but its close enough. Future versions will incorporate these.
This application is basically a sound board with the ability to add user created content.
As before, requires .Net 3.5 CF.
The sample sound themes included in the application are a little weak and could do with some extra ones being created. Post your creations in the thread please
There are two types of themes available, a button theme and an image theme.
The button theme uses positionable windows image buttons to play the sounds.
The image theme uses an image to play the sounds. So for example you would have 2 images one for the background on the application for the user to see and one for the application to use. The overlay image will contain a single block of colour where you want to place a button, this colour is then indexed in the themes XML file. So when you press down on the background the colours are matched and the matching sound played.
The best way to get to grips with the themes is to look at two of the themes I have provided. The XML files are fully commented and quite simple to understand.
Example of ButtonTheme, \content\Roy Walker\RoyWalker.xml
Example of Imagetheme, \content\Mr T\MRT.xml
I am sure there will be bugs, but I wanted to get a release out as soon as possible to get some user created content. Please post any creations on this thread and I will include them in the .cab file with the next version.
Any feedback or suggestions please post on this thread also.
Future features:
Volume Control
More audio support, e.g. mp3 etc
Options to save last theme and other stuff
visual feedback on an Imagetheme button press, perhaps a greying of an area (Simple but havent had the time)
Any way have fun!!

Attached are a few screenshots of my bad attempts at themes.

The "wrong" button sound effect is not from catchphrase, but from Family Fortunes. As far as I remember, they didn't have a sound for that. Roy Walker simply said "It's a good guess but it's not right", which for me beeged the question, how is it a good guess then? Anyway, I'm not fussy. It's a great, useless, fun little program. We need more of these!!
Thanks.

Yeah you are right, I was just being lazy! But ah well, hopefully myself or someone else will create a family fortunes theme for it.
I also need to get some more Roy Walker sounds added in, a few people on the forum have given me links though.
Work seems to steal all of my time these days. Stupid work!

Cant wait to try it. Thanks for your hard work.

I can't play any sound when I'm on the phone. Neither I, or the one I'm on the phone with can hear anything.. What am I doing wrongd?

To be honest I never even thought about someone trying to use it during a phone call!
Interesting idea though...

I am slowing working on a few more themes, when I get time during work of course. Unfortunately my artistic skills are a little weak.
But I have created piano theme also, much like the one for the IPhone. Need to create some others also.
I was kinda hoping other people would create some content. It is easy enough

i am up for this....let me know how i can make some themes!

woooohooo
i have made a new theme! (well based on the mr t one supplied)
BETTER SOUNDS AND IMAGE!
i would like to know if someone can tell the screen size the program displays as it is not 480*800 as in the specs (it looses some from header and footer)
if anyone would like the theme i have made please Private message me i will mail it to you (as i do not know how to link)
i am currently working on another FAR TSUPERIOR theme just need the right images and screen size before i mail it out.
about time i found an app that i can have fun with! (like those iphone apps!)
cheers original poster for this!

I there, a have been searching for a while for an application that a could use to make something like the iphone idrummer (because of the daft punk kits) since i dont know how to make one, just modify them.
So here are my versions of Daft Punk "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and "Aerodynamic". Just ad the files to the content file of the application and select them on the application and you are ready to go.
The thing is, they were made for QVGA version (240x320), so for other screen dimensions just modify the size of the background images and buttons, and coordinates also.
Hope you enjoy them (sorry for my possible bad english)
Anyway thanks to the creator of the application, and if anyone could make a new application more suited for a possible version of idrummer for those that dont have a iphone its always welcome

Haha i was just about to come here and ask if someone could port this http://www.noblefart.com/ across from the andrioid but since this sound board is very similar then maybe it could be intergrated into this!!

Is it possible to make it so that someone on the phone can hear the sounds?
This would be then great for prank calls. It would then also be useful to let you set your voicemail message as an mp3 - just dial your vm, choose record greeting and hit the soundboard button...

is there any way u can make a soundboard for family feud?

TouchHDTweak - Any interest?

Hi, I'm a proud owner of a Sony Ericsson X1, and the developer of XperiaTweak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440035).
You can see the features of this application if you go to my website:
http://www.cliffords.nu
I've recieved some E-mails from people who are trying to use this application on a TouchHD, but that will currently fail (since it's developed for the X1), so I'm just wondering if there's any interest here for a special TouchHDTweak - version of my application? I don't have a TouchHD myself, but if there's enough interest I can try and develop a version for TouchHD and maybe get some help here when it comes to beta-testing it.

I think you would be a star in all our eyes for developing a version for HD. Please do go ahead. I know I will speak for all owners.

I would be very interested.

Would be very interested here too I'm sure there are a whole host of things to unlock about the HD architecture

I would love a TouchHD tweak! Right now I'd using Schap's Advanced Configuration tool 3.3 and the Diamondtweak program.
I really wish the ROM guys would get cooking too.

+1 please
HD tweak would be great!

Not to decry this generous offer from someone who has already been instrumental in what appears to be a successful porting of Panels from the Xperia, but i think before putting nelshh to a shed-load of extra work we should check to make sure the functionality he is proposing isn't already available in exisiting apps.
I haven't done anything more than a cursory assessment, but it looks like a number of the features of the Xperia Tweak are already available through existing TF3D and Diamond Configurators that mostly work fine on the HD. For example, some of what I spotted on the Xperia Tweak site is in Advanced Configurator. Other elements may not be appropriate to the HD.
So personally, i would suggest caution and that someone with a little more time than I have right now looks to compare the Xperia Tweak tool with exisiting tools.
Nelshh, do you have a complete feature list for your Tweak?

iain.fraser: you're absolutely right, There's some different apps that already does what my application is doing and more, but the idea behind my application is basically simplicity, such as a small number of the most asked for tweaks, and in addition device specific tweaks (such as the LED and Panel-tweaks for X1). And I'd be more than happy to write something for the TouchHD! If there's interest and if it finds it's own place amongst the other tools.

Really Interested too and I can help you (as soon as I've got the device) with the testing!

+1, It would be nice to have this at HD.

Tweak Away!
Your the man TweakMaster!!

If in light of my earlier comments you are still up for tackling the project, put me down as a possible tester

how many +'s are we allowed to give I would give +100 if my vote counts that many times

i'm in.
if you can make the LEDs work like the way X1 worked, you will be my god!

Tweak! Twaek! Tweak!
Sure I would appreciate such a project!!
Ascenca

I have a question - request. Have it for years now....
I hate the power off button.
I want to power off the screen and use: or lock or a slide 2 unlock program.
To wake up the device i just want to touch the screen or double click or touch the home button and wake up the device but not the F**** power button. Can this be done? Please?????
I use gsen and i can poweroff the screen and etc.

I see absolutely no reason not to

Lots of +s from me too please!

EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service) Animations

Hi all,
one thing I used to love on my Sony Ericsson phones was the EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service), mainly the little animations. For those who don't know EMS lets you include preset animations or sounds in texts by sending them as a code. The receiving phone then reads that code and shows it's version of the same animation/emoticon/sound.
Sadly the Diamond doesn't have this and I miss it a lot as they really brighten up texts. I believe though that the SE Xperia X1 does have EMS support so I was wondering if anyone knows how to get this onto the Diamond?
Many thanks,
Mik

hi mik, used to see you a lot on se-nse when I was a lurker modding my w810 lol
anyway I'm afraid I can't help you, also I think the x1 doesn't have the animations,it is really a htc device with an se badge.
I believe microsoft has to add the function to the messaging app for it to support the animations, but I don't think it'll happen.

Hi roflnova,
I'm still busy on se-nse, actually an Admin on there now
I had read that the X1 had EMS but obviously that info was inaccurate. However, surely this can be added with a software app and doesn't need M$ to implement it. I have found a few old topics referring to certain apps but they're all so old the links are dead or just go to something unrelated.
Anyone know which apps are available these days?

actually no has paid attention to this topic but its very good & urgent
just see this link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa919404.aspx#

I guess it's something that long time WM users have never had so they don't miss it and aren't bothered.
Thanks for that link, I had seen that before but doesn't that just enable the use of an EMS client and still leave us needing that actual client?

So is there no good EMS service for the Diamond?

Searching Friends problem on Facebook by using my HD2

hey guys,
I'm trying to add some new friends from Facebook by my HD2, but I can't search any new friends!! ;(
However, it works on IPhone but why not windows phone.
Anyone know about these?
Let me know Please
Thank u in advance

anyone can help??

You've not given us enough information to help you.
How are you trying to add friends? How do you expect it to work, and in what way does it not?
Incidentally, silly comments like "it works on my iPhone" will get you nothing other than silly comments like "use your iPhone then".

Thanks John,
Well, i go to "Friends" Tag, and click "Search" then i input the person's name which i'm trying to search, however, there is no other results come out apart from the person which i have added.
But my friend show me on his IPhone, once he input the name and then click search, there are numbers of results come out even he didn't add.
Did i make it a bit clear now??
Very Sorry if i confuse you guys, because English is not my first language

I have had this problem before on my TP2, it will search for people in my friends but not people I do not know.
Never managed to get to the bottom of why this happens, Sorry.

As far as I'm aware, the search function is for searching within your friends, not for searching for new friends. I don't think you can do that with the application.
The application is not meant to be a replacement for the facebook website, but rather a sort of middleware app that gets information from the site for you, and allows you to do some minor updates.
You'll still need to use the main site to do lots of things.
If it helps, you can use http://m.facebook.com/ on the phone to get the mobile version, which is a lot lighter than the full version and doesn't use any ajax or flash (which would slow the browser down considerably!)
Hope this helps

Are there any news app for the HTC HD2??

Can someone tell me what is the best application for news on the HTC HD2?
It is best if it can update news in real times on the homepage with compatible font for the HD2 screen.
I look but cannot find such program thus it would be great if someone can help? Thank in advance.

I don't know if it's the best but you might check out the AP News app. It's free and very easy to find. on the Microsoft Marketplace.

I have been using it for a while now. I like it a lot. Another thing you might want to try is some rss reader app.

Decided to look on the Marketplace and cannot find that AP News app on the UK Marketplace.
Is there anything else that is suitable or am I being useless in my ability to find it on the MS MP?

snaptu has a few news channels on it not very consise & not totally utd but for a basic news feed try this

i have not come across any winmo rss reader that is even close to what you get for the iphone or android devices (i have an iphone 3gs, nexus one, samsung i8910, archos 5IT and motorola milestone - and i consume news from all these devices depending on which one is the closest!).
anyway, after having tried multiple apps on various platforms, i find myself returning to google reader's mobile version.
i would suggest you set up your feeds one-time in google reader using a desktop, and then from your phone access the mobile version located at google.com/reader/i (note the "i" at the end of the string).
you can use opera 10 - the formatting is a bit off, but the headlines wrap properly. you could also try skyfire.
if you consume lot of feeds, you will love the way stories expand in place, and flicking down takes you to more headlines. this vertical approach is much faster and elegant than the horizontal approach implemented by dedicated rss apps. those apps take you to the story in a new window and then you have to retract back to get to the list. you are always backing in and out, rather than flicking downwards seamlessly...

I have tried Daily News and AP News app and gotta say Daily News was better - until I found Yomo Media... Take a look at it...
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-yomomedia.html
BTW - you want to install OMarket as well as it stores about 500 free apps for WinMo devices....

More devs should start developing apps with the ManilaSDK. It is pretty much aweseome, and makes us able to create state of the art apps for the, in my oppinion best mobile plattform!
Freewarepocketpc.net is an awesome plattform to share the products!
