Good evening! I just released the source for my very own slimserver client for windows mobile! (I was very frustrated as I couldn't find any free/open source ones out there).
This is the first release ever, and hence very very basic. Thus, I have only released the source, and no binaries..
It does work, and it does satisfy my current requirements, so I don't plan on spending a lot more time on it. If you want to see it evolving to meet your own needs as well, please do help, by donating your time and coding skills
In order to make it work , you will have to manually edit the libslim\core.cs file with your slimserver details.
There are no GPL notices, nor attributions in the files yet for the various pieces of code that I used. This will change soon!
The scrolling list control is called Kinetic Scroller, and I found it on this forum. Many thanks to dosfan for releasing the source to that excellent and extremely usable control (I did some minor changes).
I found what was the basis for SlimXML somewhere on the web, I don't remember where. Many thanks to the developer In order to compile it, you might need Visual Studio 2008.
You will also need SlimServer version 7 beta installed, as the previous versions do not provide any CLI functionality for browsing the music folders

Nice..
This sounds great. Currently I am using the handheld skin and mplayer. It works but a real client would be sweet. The only problem is I don't think I can get a C# compiler. Do you know of a free one or would you be able to get me a binary? I'm running duttys 6.1 on a at&t tilt.
Thanks and good luck with the project.

NOTES:
The projects if developed will become a generic code baseline for each and every developer seeking codes.
This means projects in this thread is just to give everyone a basic working conceptual code which can be used anywhere in similar projects.
Just think people has great ideas to work on, but they dont have baseline code from where to start as most of them might be learning.
So this thread should help them out giving a working base code..
Any1 interested in building couple of OpenSource Projects for PPC? Ill post concepts.
Lets built next generations of applications together as open source which people can use to learn things as well.
The reason open source is so that everyone can contribute code for a project, and work together to built the best.
Anyone Interested???
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project 1: File Indexer for PPC [FIndexer]
Not Sure if it exists or already available.
Added:
01 Feb 2008
Description:
To index each and every file on PPC with custom options on indexing.
Purpose:
In todays world where 1gb,2gb,4gb cards are available, we store tons of file on our PPC like ebooks, songs, music, videos.
Many times it is not possible to search using a search utility as it may consume battery and we need to wait till file is being search.
This is the place where this FIndexer comes in to picture, where we index our file either manualy or scheduled.
And then searching a file will just take 1 second to return the results.
Language:
C++ is best language for this kind of project because of speed.
Database:
Not sure, but either SQL or Access DB.
Type:
Open Source
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project 2: File System for PPC [PFS (Pocket File System)]
Not Sure if it exists or already available.
Added:
01 Feb 2008
Description:
Idea came from Microsoft new file system WinFS.
Correct me if i am wrong, this File system is a file table itself where it keeps track of each and every files in details in Real Time.
Purpose:
In todays world where 1gb,2gb,4gb cards are available, we store tons of file on our PPC like ebooks, songs, music, videos.
Many times it is not possible to search using a search utility as it may consume battery and we need to wait till file is being search.
This is the place where this PFS comes in to picture.
Why use any indexing software also?, let this File system handle it in real time.
Language:
C++ is best language for this kind of project because of speed.
Database:
Not sure, but either SQL or Access DB.
Type:
Open Source
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project 3: Tic Tac Toe (x & 0) Game (BlueTooth Enabled)
Not Sure if it exists or already available.
Added:
01 Feb 2008
Description:
This is a game which we always played for fun in good old days and still we play.
We might have wasted good amount of papers to play this game. Classic X & 0
Purpose:
We hardly see any bluetooth enabled games for PPC. Thats the purpose to built a very basic game with 2 players mode on bluetooth.
This may be a good code for all the developers round here who wants to start with some bluetooth code.
Language:
C++ is best language for this kind of project because of speed.
Database:
Not sure, but either SQL or Access DB or XML
Type:
Open Source
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project 4: Multipurpose Single Line Marquee Scrolling Today Screen Plugin [Like Stock Tickers]
Not Sure if it exists or already available.
Added:
01 Feb 2008
Description:
A today plugin which scrolls like a stock ticker in 1 or 2 lines, and provides useful configurable information like battery info, world time, live money rates, notifications, one liner quotes, jokes, appointments, bluetooth status, and much more, in 1 or 2 scrolling lines.
Purpose:
Many might have noticed too many of today plugin gives a scroll bar to your today screen which dont look good.
This is where this plugin comes in to picture.
This should be completely customizable right from scrolling speed to colors to information to flashing colors speed, bold and much more.
Language:
C++ is best language for this kind of project because of speed.
Database:
Not sure, but either SQL or Access DB.
Type:
Open Source

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project 5: Application Specific Backup Tool (Can be a great tool)
Not Sure if it exists or already available.
Added:
04 Feb 2008
Description:
There are several backup tools which takes backup of PPC as a whole and can be restored easily, but:
How many times you feel that you had installed tones of applications and had taken a backup of those, and now when you get a new PDA, you feel like you dont want to again install all the applications installed previously due to certain reasons. By restoring the backup you end up again with all unrequired applications again.
This tool will help you to eliminate those problems by taking backup of each and every application configurations seperately with version informations. Yes now you can backup configurations of your games, your theme managers, your music player configurations and everything and have choice to restore them back again seperately as required.
Yes people who develope tools with configurations involved may have to coporate to tell us where they save the data of their application so we coders can add a plugin code to backup that particular application.
You can say that this tool has a builtin database information of most of the application to backup the configs.
Purpose:
Description above says it all
Language:
C++ is best language for this kind of project because of speed.
Database:
Not sure, but either SQL or Access DB or XML
Type:
Open Source
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project 6: Application data which synchronizes with Web Services.
Not Sure if it exists or already available.
Added:
07 Feb 2008
Description:
Again this is an application which most coders are going to like who are learning mobile codings. This application mainly shows how to communicate with mobile device application with web service to keep data in sync. Data can be either contacts, games scores, or any text based details.
Yes a today screen plugin would be nice to show some information on sync or other details.
Purpose:
To provide generic code to each coder seeking this kind of communication.
Language:
C++ is best language for this kind of project because of speed.
And either .Net or Java for Web Services.
Database:
Not sure, but either SQL or Access DB or XML
Type:
Open Source
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

zbop has done something similar to what you are looking for in number 4. You place info in reg. keys and then update that info via Mortscript (or however you want) and then it gets scrolled on a today screen line.

I wonder how does open source developers meets and work together
I decided to give this initiative a fighting chance so I am going to 'sticky' this thread for one week.
If there are no takers I will 'unsticky' it.
Unfortunately, I do not currently have time to take part in this project my self as I am learning to program for Linux and OpenMoko specifically.

They don't, they start by making something, small, runnable, interresting, then share it, with the source.
This is more than i could expect from this forum. Thanks a lot.
This is a try to bring many great people in this forum and to develop something great for the forum.
Projects mentioned in this thread is just for start.
People can give their own new ideas so all work together and make something great for all the forum users.
i have no other intentions to start this thread other then bringing all together.
Starting this thread i thought i will also put my skills to help new guys.
Thanks again, and i hope this works out.
Here's a project idea that came up in the herald forums - use your touchscreen as a psudo-wacom tablet while tethered. Yes it would only be on/off and wouldn't sense pressure differences, but would still make for a cool project.
Heared of Android?
I guess you have heared about android,an all open-source linux based platform.And about the total of 10M bounty by Google as an award for the top 50 applications tha will be developed for the platform.So I'm guessing any developers with the skills to do such projects will have their hands full.
After all it sould be reasonably easyer to programm for an all opensource platform than for WM,a closed source platform.
Just my 2 cents.

Count the number of applications developed in this forum by everyone for so called 'closed source platform of wm6'
I do agree with your thoughts and dont say you are wrong, but hey thats a whole different ball game.
Always remember
When a company runs out of concepts, then company organises a competition with great prices. At the end company gets thousands of new concepts. winner gets the price, company gets new product.
same thing happens in open source world as well as close sourced.
If all think in this direction then i can bet, xda will run out of members.
not trying to defend, but this is something which simply cannot be debated or this is not a right place.

Then lets make something small, runnable, interresting, and share with the whole world!
It was very dificult to find this kind of groups, thats the reason internet became so famouse, where we can find different people with great skills from different country and make things possible.
Hello ! I am working on CEPC x86 platform. I want to use a bluetooth device on this platform. I've read on the blogs available on the net, which say that we can simply enable the bluetooth from the Catalog items of Platform Builder. But then some people have written that the steps specified have not worked for them. Is it possible that the driver available on Wince works with the Bluetooth devices from specific vendors and not for all. If somebody is having any experience in this please help.
Thanks anyway.
Sudhakar.
this is not the right section to post questions. there is a Q&A section for that.
thank you
Hello guys, I have a query about Mobile App Development Platform. What is the best and easiest Mobile App Development Platform that I can use in creating a mobile app? Is it open source or I need to pay for it? tnx guys.
Appery is a cloud-based mobile app builder that you can use to create apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone, and includes Apache Cordova (Phone Gap) with access to its built-in components.
Since the builder runs in the cloud, there's nothing to install or download, and it's easy to get started quickly. It includes a visual editor using drag and drop components to build the UI. You can connect to any REST API and use it in your app, and instantly add a cloud database and backend to your app if you need to store data.
You can add powerful functionality with the Appery plugin catalog, or create your own custom private plugins to use in your apps. Collaboration is simple, allowing you to share your mobile project with development teams, business users and customers in real time.
Price: Plans start at Free and go up to $180 per month for Premium
Thanks 4 the info @MihaelYank

TRooTech helps with native mobile application development by providing mobile design satisfactorily as based on needs and preferences.
On startup generation, mobile technologies offer segregated internet-based utilities and knowledge in smart devices maybe called Mobile Phones, Smart Watches, Smart TVs, Tablet Devices and many more hardware progression going on to come.
We offer Customized Android App Development and iOS App Development.

Fork it on Github (deeponion/Android-DeepOnionJ) - Always free and open.
DeepOnion is an open source blockchain project with the aim to bringing privacy and anonymity to anyone that wants it.
We've recently released the DeepOnion Mobile App template. This will enable anyone to rapidly build and deploy a Tor integrated mobile applications that can connect to the DeepOnion network.
This is a key step in opening up our blockchain to new opportunities. Most blockchain based services need to rely on centralised backends that suck information from you before allowing you to use them. This demonstrates our progress in being able produce privacy first, decentralised applications (DApps) and I'm here to invite the XDA community to have a look at what we are doing, let us know what you think and hopefully use our SDK to develop world class DApps.
The project is new and quite raw at the moment, though any Android Dev should be able to see the basics of how the project is integrated with Tor, syncs with the DeepOnion blockchain and provides an interface to interact with it. I'll be updating it over the coming weeks/months to be fully fledged module that you can just add using gradle.
