Project OSX aqua - spb mobile shell 2.1 [alpha v0.02][Last update: 8 sept 2008]

Hi all,
i've always been a big fan on the design of osx aqua,
therefor i decided to make a spb mobile shell theme with the same looks.
since this is the first skin i'm making for the spb mobile shell i've started on a
desing wich i found here.
"our theme - inspired by degavim & marfanuk" from that theme i'll start changing all the graphics and after that i'll try some adjusting in xml.
So far i've managed to do some testing on my Hareld wich looked great,
now i'm building all the psd files. When i'm done you will be able to download this theme here. I'll keep you informed on what i did and let you guys help me test it.
here is the first teaser :

WOW! Very nice. Definitely keep us posted.

I love OS Aqua and your skin.

Nice
Very cool, keep up the good work
will be waiting for this

ok i'm getting along pretty well, but as espected i stumbled accros a problem,
on the top right of the screen there will be the volume icon (speaker) like in
the theme i'm basing this one on. the problem i have is that the speaker on the
original theme is white, however i can't find the image for that icon in the .dat files
can anyone point them out or help me out where i can find them ?

Nice theme keep it up as I know you can edit the icon of sound at the above by editing the qp menu btn.dat

Great Idea!
Can't wait to try it out. I love the osx aqua look myself.

great work go ahead

Wow,
That looks great!
Could I make one small request, and feel free to tell me to shove off?
Would it be possible for you to leave off the Apple logo for the Start Menu, I know it runs counter-intuitive to what you are doing, but hear me out.
Apple has great design, no doubt about it, I love them, I covet their products more than a MOC Boba Fett with the kid unfriendly missile launcher, but this is a Windows Mobile Device that this theme is going to be used on. Lets keep the Windows Flag, but maybe sexy it up a bit, hell for all I care make it anything you want just not an Apple. When I hand people my phone, it happens sometimes, I want them to know it is a Windows Mobile device and that the iPhone is not the only game in town. I don't hate the iPhone by the way, I just want Winmo to get the credit it is due. Now like I said you can tell me to blow smoke, it's your design, your hard work, and thank-you in advance for creating it. I love the bottom row icons btw.

Agrea that ppl should know a htc phone is more powerfull and less expensive and can do much more so i'm gonna do everyone a favour and make 2 zip files, one for the windows logo's and one with the apple logo's.
cheers and thanks on the comments, just got home and started working on it.
expect the first demo version soon.

[GAME]Bantumi Diamond (Old Nokia 3310 Game)

My second game for Windows Mobile!!!
yay?
This is a remake of an old Nokia 3310 Game that I used to play all the time.
Good old days!
Explanation of the way the game is played:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mancala
This game is made for 2 people to play against each other.
I might add a singleplayer if I have the time to!
Since everyone has their own rules for this game I will write them down real short:
When ending your "seeding" in a empty hole on the opponent's side you will capture a point.
When you end up in your own main hole you get an extra turn.
The opponent's main hole will not be skipped while "seeding"
There I hope I explained it well enough.
Any suggestions or bugs reports are more than welcome!
Enjoy gaming!

Hi Freckle
could it be possible to get som screenshots please ?
And a single player version would be awesome !!!

Screen shots are a must, some users never put something on there phone without knowing how it will look

oh I totally agree, I would never put something on my phone without seeing a screenshot or a video of it.
Definitely not from an unknown developer like me
Video is uploaded, check my first post!!!

Can I be honest with you ?
The graphics are not really beautiful...., I would love to see it looks like a real wood one
I do love this game, I spent hours playing on it on my nokia and I also have a real one in my house
something like this would be definitely better

Seconded. Since that 3D dice app was cancelled (I was working on the graphics for that) this could be a fun project to take on. Give me a day and I can whip up something that's at least on par with the above screenshot - I'll try to make it look better .

Not everyone knows how to create apps like the one you showed us from the screenshot.
I appreciate your honesty, but I started giving C# a shot 2 weeks ago.
And I haven't ever made a 3d/graphical application before.
Also I'm not following a ICT/"Programming" education yet, have to wait 1 and a half years for that.
If someone could give me a push in the right direction, that would be appreciated.
***I think I have an idea to spice it up, give me some time.

That's alright mate ;-)
I'm working on the board right now, the board is almost finished.
I'm trying to add some cool text that will look like it's sort of cut into the board.

The new board (without buttons)

now it looks better dude
Your on the good road

I just can't figure out how to get the picturebox transparent so I can put actual round images in it without having a white overlay.

I'd use a ImageButton with transparency set to true,
this should also help you "catch" the clicks
But IMHO I think it is better to complete the the coding prior to the cosmetics, I'd rather see a fully functional game which doesn't look that nice then a not working game which looks great.
with fully functional I meant including a single player version...
because that is the real challenge
Anyway I'm glad you started this thread, because I almost forgot about this great game. thank you
keep up the good work

Maybe, but it can also be used in other development languages,
I use Basic4PPC to develop and there the control has already been created

Great launcher idea!

Just had a great idea for a new launcher that I think would work really well on the Android platform (well, what doesn't? [don't answer that]). Going to post a mock up pretty soon so watch this space, hopefully if people like it then maybe someone could build it?
I wouldn't have the first clue where to start to actually build one, but would really like to learn how.

Tell us something about it or maybe someone will help you with it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Will do, I just made the post so I can add to it as I go along designing things
Here is the first mock up of the messages and how it would look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The idea is that the dock has all of the apps in it, and you scroll through them easily, and if you want to view say, the messages for instance, you scroll through to the messages tab (would have to be a nice smooth fast action, not scrolling through pages) and then drag up on the icon to reveal the messages.
To close the app you would then have to simple drag down from the top bar and it would slide away into the dock at the bottom.
I feel if someone could help me make this that it has a lot of potential, the only problem is that standard apps would have to appear within the constraints of the bubble, which may be a problem, but hey, it's day one so I'm open to suggestions.
Please let me know what you think, I'm going to making previews for as many apps as possible if I can today, but I have other stuff to do, so watch this space!

Obviously some apps won't be all lovely and transparent like the mock up here, but if they could just appear within the bubble that would be pretty awesome I think. It's a much more swipe friendly design that some of the launchers out there at the moment, that I feel are constrained by what is already on the market or what others have already seen.

It looks very very promising, altough it looks complex and hard. I hope you can find the way to do it, because you can go really far with this.
Good luck, I will definitely have an eye on this.

Mock up of an actual message being written. If I could create a transparent keyboard I would do! Don't have the time at the moment.

Forgot to add the back button at the top, oops :|

This does not help me at all, but thanks for the demeaning comment.

Not wanting to pour water on your fire. I can tell you are all 'fired up' about this launcher, but why waste your time making these lovely screenshots and 'hoping' that some dev will come along and make the launcher for you.
You are obviously talented, why not do some reading on the forums and have a go at making your own launcher. Once you have a basic one running, I'm sure there will be plenty of members of the community willing to help you.
Just a thought

That's what I'm trying to do, i just don't know where to start!

Not trying to demean you or this launcher just trying to describe this launcher using existing os ideas like those of webos. But the fact that the os isnt designed for this type of use would inherently make it not as good as webos.
And yes ill agree that the documentation on home screen replacements is rather lacking. Your best bet would be to look at the source of the Android default home screen
From something awesome

All great things have to start somewhere. I think the concept is good, real nice. I also will be looking out for it. Can not help with building it (no idea how) but I can offer to help test it.....

I tend to agree.....just reading through in order for the first few pages has stumped me...but I have a very basic, basic idea now.

On my XPlay :)

I wanted to make a little thread, to let everyone know what I have done to my XPlay, if anyone really cares, lol.
Obviously, first thing I did was unlock the bootloader and root it
Titanium Back-up Pro is my best friend, I removed LOADS of bloatware and all the crap I didn't need. Lovely.
SD Maid Pro helps to keep everything in check and my system and apps clean and tidy.
Now to the fun, that has got to me where I am today...
I made my own UOT theme, which can be found HERE.
I then started adding some of the Xperia S apps from THIS THREAD. Some worked, some didn't, so I have ended up with the new conversations app, contacts app, and dialer that look great, I also started using the Home.apk from that thread, but wasn't too keen on it, so found THIS THREAD where the Home.apk files work great, with all the new tweeks, so I have 3 home screens, 5x4 icons in the app tray and fading home screen indicators.
Only problem with the new Home.apk was because the Xperia S has a higher res than the XPlay, the text looked wrong, so just messing around I used Font Changer (from the market) and added the old skool Playstation font, called Zrnic.ttf and now it looks GREAT!!
Of course, I am using some other app's too, like Fancy Widgets for my clock and weather, the Type & Send widget, and Widgetsoid for every kind of switcher I could want. Went thru loads of calendar app's to find one I liked, and ended up using Simple Calendar with a nice 4x3 widget.
In addition to this, I have flashed the old CRT lock screen animation from HERE, Bravia Engine, and Reboot options in my theme from AdamTt (find the mod HERE)
Now to the OS, I'm on 2.3.4 with .62 firmware, running DooMKernel V11 and I am finding it great!!
Well, I think that's it to be honest, So this is where I leave u, lol.
If anyone whats any more info about anything in this thread please feel free to ask, before I got my XPlay I had NEVER used an Android phone, and now I wouldn't be without it. And I think I have learnt a lot and that is all down to the people of XDA forums, so I give a MASSIVE thank u to everyone who has answered my stupid n00b questions over the last few months. I wish I could list everyone who has helped me, but there are far too many to remember but the few I do are:
DooMLoRD - For everything he has done for me, and the whole XPlay community with his kernels.
cyrusalmighty - For all the help with the lock screen on my theme.
vr5411 - For the amazing work on the Xperia S Home.apk files.
AdamTt - For the Reboot options that work on many devices
AndroHero & Cat_On_Droid - For just always helping a n00b, with REALLY stupid questions, to find the answers.
And many thanx to anyone else who I have forgotten to add.

I've got some problems with Zrnic
Strange question marks. It happens too when I recieve long sms while my phone is in landscape mode. I see some words on the status bar but then there is big area with these "??" and nothing else. It's strange because i have no problems with standard font. How can I get rid of that problem?

Basically that is to do with the actual font, some characters may not be supported, so where as a "normal" font just puts a [] shape, zrnic puts a big ? lol, I have also found a symbol that looks like a massive copyright info panel, lol, I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done about it, seeing as it is just built into the font and not to do with Font Changer or anything I have done.
Hope this has helped.

Like Your theme and they way You approach it. I need a lot more experience to start making my own roms or roms mods to get my Play look as i want.
Love this site and Play community, which is very helpful and helps newbies like me. Hope in the future i will help You too somehow. Thanks!

[APP] Turbo Root Checker

ROOT IS HERE! Go get it! Tutorial is here. Post is here.
I noticed there a lot of people around here waiting fervently for the release of root--checking and rechecking the forums over and over. Fear not! For I have come up with the solution for you all!

Turbo Root Update
​
Are you stuck at work and want to know if we have root? Are you away from a computer? Did you just get in a car wreck and are laying there, taking your final breath, with only your phone in your hand, wondering, "Do we have root?" Then this is the app for you.
I was messing around with Google's new Material Design standards I decided to throw this together. It'll be updated the moment a root method is discovered.
Another note: this will only work only Droid Turbos.. I can add other models to the list upon request, however, I didn't make the app responsive, so it only looks right on 2560x1440 screens.
Enjoy.
EDIT: This will now work on ALL devices!
EDIT_2: I realized just now that I chose the same material design color as SuperSU and did the same icon design completely by accident. No correlation there, just sheer happenstance.
FINAL EDIT: A root method has been discovered and will be release shortly. The latest update of the app will point you to the root video so you can root whenever ad wherever. Thank you all for downloading!

Neat little app haha. Hopefully we wont need it for long!
However I must say this is in the wrong section of the forum, the more appropriate location would be -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/themes-apps

Does it push a notification when the device gets rooted? Or will it just replace my xda refreshes with opening the app every 5 minutes?

I agree. I would have put it there, but no one will see it cause they are checking here for root. Thus the post in general.

Does it push a notification when the device gets rooted? Or will it just replace my xda refreshes with opening the app every 5 minutes?

I can add an update for it. I don't have a subscription to any push services currently so I'd to re-up for that.

I'll call it, the are-we-there-yet? App

Why not make it so others can keep tabs on it, too? I have an LG G3 and would like to know when the Turbo gets root.

More like "Are we rooted yet?" Makes more sense

I was limiting it because I didn't want a bunch of phones with 1920x1080 resolution wondering what the deal was cause I didn't make it responsive, but I think I will just update it. You convinced me.

Man, this is great... Genius. I check these threads lately about once or twice an hour, just waiting on good news. When I open a new tab, Chrome goes, "Oh, lemme guess... XDA Turbo General?" This is a time saver. Thank you, sir.

You're exactly the person I made it for! You are welcome!

Sad your effort cannot be easily installed on older moto's. We would not care about a skewed image of an unlock graphic!! Would not the ultra/Maxx be an easy one?
But what do I know about generating apk's.
Great idea anyway!!

I noticed there a lot of people around here waiting fervently for the release of root--checking and rechecking the forums over and over. Fear not! For I have come up with the solution for you all!
Turbo Root Update
​
Are you stuck at work and want to know if we have root? Are you away from a computer? Did you just get in a car wreck and are laying there, taking your final breath, with only your phone in your hand, wondering, "Do we have root?" Then this is the app for you.
I was messing around with Google's new Material Design standards I decided to throw this together. It'll be updated the moment a root method is discovered.
Another note: this will only work only Droid Turbos.. I can add other models to the list upon request, however, I didn't make the app responsive, so it only looks right on 2560x1440 screens.
Enjoy.

At the office now, but when I get off tonight, I will be opening it to other devices.
The graphics won't be skewed, but rather they will be blown up. I will probably write in a line to scale the graphics accordingly on smaller res phones when I update it this evening. :good:

Kinda curious why you chose Lua and Corona.

Kinda curious why you are decompiling my apk.
Been bouncing around trying some different things. Noted that the Corona SDK used lua-- a language I had previously used in the form of eLua to program microcontrollers. However, 80% of the code draws off of Corona's predefined functions which makes it feel like a "copy and paste fest". I also remember reading that a lot of WoW addons were coded in lua (easily embed-able) which spiked my curiousity. I'll have to say though, it is incredibly simple to use.

I decompiled it because I was curious.
Doesn't everyone do that?
Check out NativeScript when you get a chance.

Actually I've noticed a few online games now have used lua in encrypted game files (to prevent hackings and game mods, but lets face it someone is going to crack it at some point) not just add-ons.

Just wondering, how does it work? Do you just monitor XDA for "root" threads?
