PLEASE READ THIS!!
Hi.. just to announce, that I'm making serious efforts to make the iPhone-like musicplaying capability on a Windows Mobile device, I show you now what I have been cooking for a while now..
This is only a proof of concept thing. It won't play any music now. It just shows the possibilities.
I was quite busy in the summer-time, so I had no or little time to develop, but it's going to change.
Anyway, a few things you should know:
- only 240*320 portrait mode (for now)
- .Net Compact Framework is required.
- it's filled with some random data.
- there is a syncing software on the desktop-side, which transfers a playlist from iTunes (not included in this release)
- without cleartype enabled, it's ugly.
- again, it won't play music now!
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU SOFTRESET YOUR DEVICE AFTER INSTALLING.
FAQ
-----------------------
Q: Will it have a coverflow-ish cool feature?
A: Yes, there will be.
Q: Will it support landscape mode only screens?
A: Well, landscape mode will be used for the coverflow-ish view. I'm still considerind this.
Q: Will it support smartphones?
A: I hope so.
Q: Will it sync automatically with my computer?
A: Of course it will!
Q: Yeah, but how?
A: You have to select an iTunes playlist then decide whether use the activeSync connection (more convienient but slower) or select a drive, and let the Bridge program on your computer do the rest (less convienient, faster)
Q: Wait, you have to have iTunes to use with this thing?
A: Currently, yes. iTunes offers a great API to work with, so it's very efficient to use. Also, in iTunes, most people has georgeous album art in tracks, and in Lumen, album artwork uses a lot of screen real estate, making it look insanely great. In the future, I'll consider fetching MP3 ID3 data, and so.

Things I'd like to see with this application (in comparsion with Audio Manager):
1. Integrate with HTC Home music tab - so that it can be controlled via that tab.
2. Possible to turn-off phone/screen while the music keeps on playing (to conserve battery)
3. Lists/plays tracks according to track numbers, not alphabetically (Audio Manager has this problem)
4. Library option - by albums, artisits, genre , etc.
5. .ogg support.
Possible?

1. I don't know "HTC Home music tab" and I don't know how to communicate with it, but I'll take a look.
2. It's already implemented in a previous unpublished version.
3. If you go to an artist, and select an album, it'll show it by track numbers if it's given. Any "view" that contains songs from a single album uses this mode.
4. I think it's already in.
5. Well.. i'm using Windows Media Player component, so it plays it if your device already supports it. (I'm looking for a better audio playing solution) So in theory, it can work.
stephano nice works...!
Hope nice programs in the future from u..!
Just tried it out. Nice and cool.
Looking forward to your release. Good job bro!
wow
the second iPhone Media player in two days? I'm really impressed.
Will test soon
EDIT: Great concept, but try to speed it up. Oh, and mine does not play any music. Please fix it
mindless ramblings aside, this looks neat. You made it on to my 'watch-for-further-developments' list.
What to say.... WOW!
Scrolling smoothness is really impressive I must say. Some other developers playing around with iPhone like applications should implement your scrolling routine as it is almost perfect.
I had many problems with selections at beginning, until I realized that, differently from other apps, I had to double-tap , so ppl please DOUBLE TAP'em :-D
You could join efforts with the other guy messing with an iPhone like mediaplayer (His already playing trough WMP features), but I think those 2 are developed in different ways.
Hope anyway to hear news from you soon
I'd love to see what this app looks like, but I Can't since I don't have a WM5 or 6 device. My player and this, are coded in two very different ways, so it would be hard to sort of combine the two, or use his scrolling routine, although from the sounds of it...I'd LOVE TO! I'll be keeping my eyes here though...
In truth I would like to see other developers using YOUR scrolling routine. I truly love it!
Have a nice evening.

WOW! Thanks!! Really!
Anyway, you don't have to double-tap.. It goes into things with one tap, but I'm working on to make the app realize it much faster. Since it has to mess with databases, then draw the list, it isn't as easy, as you may think.

Hey great app, this is the kinda thing i've been looking for, anyways once you get everything working properly, i have a suggestion for a cool feature, maybe once ur in the player u could have a coverflow type thing where u can flick thru album covers to select songs, srry if i'm asking for too much too soon but i can't contain myself when something this cool comes up.

Cool down buddy Your wish will come true. I have a proof-of-concept app built, and it performs quite well. Keep watching this space.

You mean like what I've implemented so far?
Not really sure how to explain this -
I have an Orange HD with stock ROM.
I have tweaked something (everything) in the last few days and now I have white expanding and collapsing window frames on screen whenever I open or close an app (any app).
It was quite interesting for about 2 minutes but now I am thoroughly pissed off with it.
Has anyone any idea what I might have done and how to undo it. I REALLY don't want to hard reset if at all possible.
Thanks.
Frames
I think that's Advanced Config>User Interface>Animate windows option. Just disable it
Yes. Thanks very much. I found it earlier while messing around.
I kind of remember enabling animations somewhere but I didn't realise I had both Advanced Config and HD Tweak installed.
Pretty disappointing animations I must say.
Anyway, thanks again.
What feasible feature additions would you like in the upcoming Tiamat XOOM ROM? Leave your ideas here, and I'll implement as many as possible.
Thanks!
please do a Euro one too!

I hope tethering is included. Phone to Xoom to PC. ;-)
for those of you interested in wifi only and europe versions, I need a system dump and the boot.img. i'm still trying to get this thing to boot. almost got it. xoom hc 3.1 is fully deodexed. It looks like a data and cache wipe will be required. So make sure you have the latest recovery from solarnz and do a good titanium backup. It looks like the initial release will be minimal. the idea is just to get everybody deodexed. but i've got some epic stuff in mind. Oh, somebody mentioned timeframes. Well, my wife said she's been feeling neglected and I love the androidz more than here. So i have to give her some attention for a while. But i bet if you go by #xoom on freenode, you'll have the most up to date info
also, this thread probably wont be the release thread. Get me those dumps. Also, start posting what type of features you are interested in. the more ideas the better.
also, be sure to stop by the Transformer board and give a big thanks to Roach for giving me the spark to get this thing going. The xoom community and the Tiamat Xoom Development Team are in his debt. Epic pwnage Roach!

Well I'll tell you of one idea, though I highly doubt that it will be possible. But the ONE feature or mod I'd love to see above *ALL* others for the Xoom is the ability to adjust contrast & saturation on the screen. Again I know this isn't necessarily a typical ROM feature in the classic sense, but regardless if there is any way this can be done I'd be more interested in this than in any other single feature or improvement.
Only suggestions i have for a rom are improve the lag with the launcher, that is really the only thing that annoys me with my xoom. Also desktop as the default for the browser.
Can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Thanks

Some nice transition windows effects, also the numeric battery like the one you are using, the turn off animation like the gingerbread but in landscape mode. So many, so glad the hear that you are working on a rom.
Patiently waiting. Thanks.

Cyanogen style tweaks please. Home app locked in memory. "Status bar" power widget also please.....
im just a measly noob but here are some suggestions....
change the recently used apps to tile across the screen instead of having to scroll through them
desktop browser mode permanently set
any HBOgo/netflix mods if possible
tv off gingerbread animation
bigger geebeez and the wifis
any good ported widgets/live wallpapers
ext4/swap file system?
customize LED notification color
neon green colors!
Feature Requests:
Fix wallpaper scaling. I want to be able to set wallpapers without having to crop.
Built in screenshot.
Colored keyboard themes.
Built in OC options.
Custom Widgets.
I'll edit and add more later.
how about a way to lock out screen inputs so we can watch video or use GPS without worrying about bumping the screen. That would be useful for folks with kids who watch cartoons, etc.
Midway through typing this, I thought of a better option.
Map hardware keys (i.e hit both volume buttons at once) to drop down the bottom notification bar windows style, so that it isnt there when we're watching movies or playing games. Then you hit both volume keys again to bring it back up.
My original idea was to have some way of hiding it when you bring up certain apps (emulators, moboplayer), but still have it retain it's functionality. Like you dont SEE the back button, you can press where it is and it will still work.

THIS FEATURE IS WHAT DRIVES ME NUTS
I think I might donate if we can get rid of that notification bar while playing games/movies. My only real problem I have with my xoom.

Also maybe there is an app? But adjusting hdmi out resolution. And custom light levels like Cm7.
Also its annoying that I can't turn off xoom screen and still output hdmi.
So glad to hear a Rom is coming!

hi there, i recently bought my first android, a nexus 7 and before i started to mess with it, i noticed something cool that i been missing a lot on apple devices: when i clicked small buttons or links in the browser, it zoomed that area so it was easier to choose. SUPER COOL i thought..
ofcourse later i had to root it, change rom to PA, and all the stuff a new android newbie has to, and i didn't really see this little feature anymore, is it something i have to install again, did i loose it when changing from stock rom > PA rom? don't even know what this "feature" is called
any help appreciated

I can't get it to work all the time, but it seems to happen most often on dropdown menu links or where there's a lot of small links close together (like page number links in a long thread on XDA.) I'm still not 100% sure what activates it, but I just loaded this subforum on my Nexus 7 and touched the lag thread title/page number links and it popped up magnified. Same thing for the "Quick Links" dropdown menu at the top of the page. I clicked the menu, then tried to click "Social Groups" and the section of the list I was on became magnified. I think it only happens when there's a certain text density on the screen, because when I zoom in I eventually stop getting the magnification box, but at that point it's really easy to click individual links.

Does Paranoid android use Chrome? It probably doesn't. That very useful feature is a google chrome thing. Here is the Play Store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en
And if at any time android ask's you which browser to open, tap on chrome and tap on "Remember" or something like that.
as there is no other browser on stock on nexus 7 i assume you have been using chrome before. and this feature pops up most likely when you are not zoomed in and navigate through a site where diffrent links are very close together. just to avoid clicking the wrong link of course.
as McMichael96 said, you can just install chrome afterwards when using 4.0+ on your nexus which is quite common obviously haha.
maybe you should also check out the other browsers which are available in the market which also have their unique advantages compared to e.g. chrome.
for once there is Opera Mobile, which renders the text on pages when you zoom in to match the screen width which makes it very easy read without scrolling sideways.
for chrome, the major advantage is, if you are using chrome on other devices as well, that everything is synced.
if using e.g. opera on other devices, syncing is available as well.
there are even more browsers like firefox (which i don't like much) even though favourites and bookmarks are accessable quite nice, dolphin browser which is very popular and have a sleek userinterface, or more.
consider to give them a try... happy to hear your feedback after trying out. cheers.
Should have it by the 17th. Really looking forward to it.
There looks to be a lot more info here on Remix in general ...looks good! ?
One thing is I am hoping for is a way to safely increase the ram. Seems I read that the Ultra is already rooted, so hopefully there is an easy way to do this!
OH... The Ultra is on sale at Amazon for $199 ...says it includes keyboard! Sweet!
?
It's not rooted. But its easy to flash a custom recovery and install the su binary.

If you can find the Cyanogen Mod recovery then you can download the supersu from the market. Boot into recovery and then apply the supersu as an update. Once done you cannot get OTA updates, but supersu lets you unroot and then you can repeate the process of replacing the recovery and rooting. Very easy to do and much easier than using other root tools out there.
Got it early. Ordered Friday... delivered Monday.
Already updated to 2.0, which changed the settings app. Then the mouse stopped working on the keyboard, so I may be looking to reset the tab and start over... not that big of a deal.
Unless someone chimes in here with an idea to get the trackpad working again.
Neat tab. Made a video I may post later.
Thanks for any helpful input.
Reset the tablet, all is well for the trackpad.
So this is supposed to be a multi-tasker, but for the life of me I cannot find the feature that was on version 1.5 ....the ability to have phone sized windows.
Where did that feature go? Anyone know?
Thanks.

Thank you. I found it and it is un-checked.
I have since found a few apps, like calculator and another I installed ...Ccleaner, do open in smaller or larger windows, and can be moved about on the screen.
Still none of my larger apps, that I use for business ...like Polaris, seem to have any options to change.
I am thinking I am going to have to carefully check my apps and look for those which may work and fit with the Remix multi windows setup. So far there are not many.
Not quite what I expected, but I will keep working with it.
Thanks again!
I mentioned this in another post here. It applies to version 2.0.
The way to determine if the app being used can be brought down to a phone sized/smaller window is to swipe down with your finger from the top. To the right will be the option to expand or contract the app. Works on some apps, not on others, but at least now I know where the option is.
Hope this helps.
App Freezing
Anyone having problems with apps freezing, mouse still working, but cant scroll or select on apps.
Giving me trouble in facebook messenger and google drive
oh yeah. i have to hard-reboot mine at least once a day. video is usually the culprit, specifically youtube.
support didn't have any advice so i've just gotten used to it.
Its an ongoing problem. Video is the first notification of it you'll notice, but I've seen it in games too, specifically Alto's Adventure and The Room 3.
According to the errors I've captured with logcat its an issue caused by the nvidia drivers.
yes, i have noticed that in logcat too. is it that NVIDIA is not meant to work with android? surely there are other android devices on their chips... it is so frustrating.
