?s on Creating a WM6 app from an XP app

Hey all, newbie here!
Let me just say that this is a great forum and you guys do wonders to borring phones...
I am interested in learning how to build an app for PPC. I have a program I use for work and would love to try and port it over. Can someone send me links and just basic info on how to get started?
Just a background, I am in IT and have programming so I am not a newbie to that world, just phone apps.
Thanks for any advice and keep up the awesome work. Timmay!!!

Do you have access to the source code of the program you want to port over? What is it written in?

A new way of downloading content. please give feedback

Hi XDA,
I'm a theme developer that requires your help!
I am asking for volunteers to test out a new way of downloading our themes. Our system detects the make of your handset and delivers the compatible wallpaper, animation or theme to personalise your mobile.
Important: to download this you must have a wap or Internet enabled mobile phone.
Using you mobile browser - Please visit www.mobilemakeover.mobi and enter the code below:
BA01-1A2BC
Please could then submit your feedback here:
www.mobstarmobile.com
As with any redesign, it will take some time to get everything looking and working exactly right and your feedback really helps.
If anyone can give me any help on this or know any problems using the open source wurfl please let me know.

Cheers,
Mark

[HELP NEEDED] Cool User Interface

Hi all,
I'd like to write some apps for mobile but I don't know how to have a "cool" (you know what i mean, iPhone like) interface instead of the flat one offered by .NETCF controls.
Please, help me or give me suggestions about where to find nice controls such as buttons (like the one used in phone dialers etc), scrollers, and so on.
Thanks,
Sergio

so are you asking for help with graphics and layouts? send me a pm. id love to work on some UI stuff.

heres several to choose from.
Free:
Manila Interface SDK:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566188
Silvermoon: http://silvermoon.codeplex.com/
Fluid: http://fluid.codeplex.com/
Commercial:
RescoeMobileforms toolkit: http://www.resco.net/developer/mobileformstoolkit/overview.aspx
Mirabyte Touchcontrols: http://www.mirabyte.com/en/products/windows-mobile/touch-controls-suite-for-netcf/information.html

Hi all and thanks a lot.
@Ren13B : I have just downloaded fluid, but i have serious problem on creating controls at runtime (no designer or my mistake) so if you have experience i'd like to see some rough/basic example code for vb.net
@S.V.I : I'm at office, when I return home I'll send you a P.M., thanks and see you soon!

I could help you with some graphics as well .
If you want, PM me.

I took a peak at the fluid demo application but never really tried using the controls in any of my projects. I think the developer has stopped working on it and is concentrating on silvermoon now. There's a forum section there so you may want to add a post there to see if anyone can help you.
Im waiting and hoping one of these days Microsoft will bless us with some finger friendly mobile controls. Perhaps the next .net compact framework will provide this but they arent releasing any information about it so who knows what it will provide.

[Q] App question

Hello Community,
I am extremely new to creating Android Apps. I was curious how difficult is it to create an app that has 4 buttons. 2 of the buttons will take you to parts of my company's website, 1 will call our support and 1 will open the email client to email our support address. I am going over the tutorials that are free for android and just want to make sure that this is possible. Please let me know.
Thank You,
Zack

Hey Zack,
Yes your idea is possible and I think it isn't very difficulty.
What you need are intents. Here is a link about this topic. It was very helpful for me.

I hope my first post was helpful.
PS: if you want contact me and I will write you an example app with the 4 buttons and the corresponding functions. Sry for my english I'm from Germany
