Hey all,
I'm working on a new mp3 player for windows mobile devices. I took inspiration from the iPod function in the iPhone. This should integrate well with the existing iPhone based themes for windows mobile devices.
I'm using .NET CF, PythonCE and flash to create the app.
Here's the youtube link of what it looks like so far:
Melody 0.8 Final Sneak Peak!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNUyIHEIv-M
Enjoy .
Chad.
To everyone who has problems with current Melody:
Just to let you guys know, I've officially stopped the development of the .NET version of melody, and I've started intense learning of C++ Win32 development. Having said this, I wont be able to support any errors or problems you might have with the .NET version, in an effort to have a native version of melody out ASAP. Once this is done, a new thread will be created. However, I have posted the source for version 0.7, and anyone is free to pick it up and even release new versions if they so desire.
You can check out the C++ implementation of Melody (PocketMelody) here:

Thanks for the responses, I'll post files up as soon as I get home.
@Marcos200
Thanks as well, I'll be checking out those apps ASAP.
-Chad.
It really looks pretty cool !!! great job !! can't wait !
cant wait to try will you be posting the files soon
Man, please don't become a film maker. The phone was so blurry that I am now dizzy.
All phones really need to have flush screens like the Touch so you aren't digging your finger in the corner or hit the side when scrolling on the screen.
The application looks nice, is it heavy on system resources?

i think this is a dell x30 not a ppc phone.. its a regular pda probably with the upgraded specs of 624mhz instead of 312 and its still on wm2003se no way its wm5.. i miss thesed ays but i dont miss losing my info for a depleted battery

Okay, just to answer some questions:
Coding in native C? I've done some C programming before, but doing the album art animations in C seems very near impossible for me. I'll definitely take a look at it though.
The Machine:
Yes, it's an old Dell Axim X30 High, with 620mhz. Which is why I would love to hear how it performs on phones, that usually have much slower processors. I've got some ideas for speed improvements, but looking forward to your feedback guys.
Please note though, I didn't really want to release so soon, but all the requests have made me go against what I originally thought was a good release candidate point. In other words, EXPECT BUGS! Lol. And PLEASE READ THE README file if you want things to work properly.

Where exactly did it give that error??
I was thinking it would be sweet to have an app that would upload your gps location to the internet so a third party could track your location. Anyone have any interest in making it?
Thanks

its done, but doesn't mean it can't be redone
I'm working on the same type of project (the main reason for buying an XDA Orbit ).
Only works on my PC and website at the moment, but will be making a slim wm6 client for posting data to my website plus incorporating some other logging sites as well (your man TrackMe, GpsGate, plus some others).

I got the idea to make a application finder software for Windows Mobile. Specially designed to HTC Diamond, with many G-apps & games and other nice apps. It's under development now, and i will release one screenshot for you.
This app will not be just an styled IE-frame, like many "appstore" like apps that have been released before.
19. October 2008:
New Screenshot of the start screen.
Development stopped, becouse of the Gecko project.
I think this is a phenominal idea. The idea that went around recently was an internet based solution through ie explorer and it just was not device friendly. To have a device based solution is much more sensable. If you could create a server that developers could upload their most recent programs too that would be the best.
Maybe contact the system admin on this site and see if he will give your program to access the sites FTP server or something. Then a user could use your device based program that would seemlessly connect to the interenet in the back ground, poll the server for software, sort it and place it into a thumb friendly interface on the phone by which it could be sorted into categories of games, utilities, themes, programs etc etc....
Of course the admin would have to create those categories on the site's side and the developers would need to upload their program to the correct one but I think everyone has been in such a need for this that they would be willing to do it without much arm twisting.
Or, you could create device user interface that interacts with Orb.com... But then you would have to get the updates of programs and upload them to ORB for your program to work. But ORB does already have a sorting feature that your user controls on the device could be made to access for sorting etc. It even has a video section that a user could download tutorials of different programs that someone took time to make.
All just ideas. Some you may find good or not. I am excited to see a device based program though. It make user intereaction easier.
Curious G.
yes
Its a good idea, keep working on it
seems to be a nice idea
I like the idea but this really depends on what will be offered / how updated the actual site behind the store application is. Have you had any thoughts on that yet?
i second that.
at this time i browse via opera tho xda to download stuff... but having a app that simplifies things would be even better...
maybe all the downloads here could be managed and put upto "youre" server in an automated way..
I remember seeing this article a few weeks ago about Microsoft creating their own app store.
http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/n.../job-advert-reveals-microsoft-skymarket.phtml
Either way, it's certainly a good idea!!
I forward the notion. An app that has all the apps at hand for easy download by category would kick some serious asss..
If I can help in any way let me know.
Greetings to all.
Love this development. Maybe this progress will open up eyes on new skilful programmers and we will see an increase of good looking apps and games. Not that I don't just love the things going on here at xda. But the more the merrier, right? The only complaint that I might have on this forum is the all the threads with wallpapers and especially the ones with half-naked women...But that's me...
So an app store (or two) is going to make it easier for us to sort out what we are interested in and only that.
If needed count me in I can help develop..
Great idea.
In the spirit of AppToDate, which I found worked very very well. But with YouTube-app like interface, all connected to database were latest apps can get installed.
Great idea!
I'm working to figure out how to connect to MySQL from a windows mobile based device, does anyone here know?
double post****
i think if these two threads could be incorporated
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428480
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433913
that would be a good way to do storage
each developer could use have there own account and then whenever they updated there app they update the wapps link via web or give it like some type of flash capabilities that would be really great
or there could be a generic account that ever one uses to upload too
looks like this is in the works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436127
maybe some collabo might be nice
Nice project!! GoOd Luck!!
If there was a way to advertise this app when it gets made. the diamond would sell millions
Why not just modify a RSS feed reader?

Maybe Sqlite is more accurate for a mobile device ?
And you just download the sqlite file available on a server, this way requests would be very fast.

Yes, every time you start it will update from the web or you can click on a button to update (or an 'update every x minutes' function

WinMo app is not there anymore (page removed)
gmm 3.2.0 cab
I don't know why google makes it such a pain in the balls to get gmm cabs but here it is.
thanks mate
the link is dead...
never mind, it worked a couple of minutes later...
ya the link on their website for it isn't working.
Anyway it's nice they updated it with the new features.
Now if they would just give us lowly windows-mobile users that google-voice app that they released for everyone else.....
Sweet!
Having traffic accident info is EXACTLY what I have been hoping for.
Good F'n job Google!
Now if they can just integrate weather updates based on cell tower/gps location it would be brushing up against perfect.
(And yes I know Live Search/Bing already does this.)
don't work on Diamond2???

You installed to Memory Card, right?
As the website said, you have to uninstall, delete any files in the Program Files/ folder for Google Maps, and then restart your phone, and then re-install.
I hate Google's impossible links. Annoyingggg.

Can always count on you to deliver the goods when the manufacturer can only provide a 404.

You know das' right my man, I deliver! Can't claim I've got the fastest connection in the world (dsl...) but my server's had 100% uptime since I flipped the switch on for blownfuze back in december.
In google's defense you don't want to be giving out your new hot software to people unless you're sure you're giving them the right version for their phone's OS and with all these different browsers for all phones and I guess it's getting hard to tell what kind of phone they've got based on their http user agent. Almost everybody who uses winmo phones are not like us, don't flash new roms of new builds of different winmo releases, don't use leaked betas of browsers... still, why not let people download from their computer like everyone else who distributes software. For example, here's a user agent that just hit my server log:
"Opera/9.50 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/4.2.13216/574; U; en)"
Hard to tell which OS that guy's running and google doesn't want to release crappy java versions of gmm anymore.

I hear ya.
Via devices ... makes total sense.
Via PC however, which is the only way I download CAB's, Google could save themselves tons of issues by following the lead of other manufacturers ...
Drop-Down List 1: Device (or O/S)
Drop-Down List 2: Language of GMM to download
Button: Download
... done. It's simple and requires no complex auto-detection, just a PC user who can read.
At least that's how it's done, I'm told, on Omicron Persei 8.

DUDE! We run similar sites! Except I support the T-Mobile Wing while you're all for the Fuze. But I've gotta say my site looks better: http://thewingster.com/
Hehe. That's cool that we ended up doing the same thing though!
And Screenshots of the new Google Maps: http://thewingster.com/googlemaps.aspx
Taken Directly from Googles maps page:
Supported Phones
Google Maps for mobile works on most phones, including those that run the below platforms. You can always download Maps to your phone using your cellular connection -- just visit m.google.com/maps on your device's browser, or send yourself a text message using the button at the top of this page. Some mobile phones also support the ability to sideload Google Maps onto your phone.
Android
BlackBerry
Java
Windows Mobile: Download Binary
Symbian S60 3rd Edition (most new Nokia smartphones): Download Binary
Palm OS: Download Binary
iPhone (pre-installed)
If you're not sure whether your phone runs one of these platforms, just try sending yourself a text message to get Maps. It will probably work!

Hey buddy, cool app! I'm into doing my own hardware repair myself. Also, I'm an XDA News Writer and I'm awaiting approval to do an article on your app. I'll let you know if I move forward with this. Thanks foe your work.
Thanks for the interest Tim, its usually cheaper to fix a phone than to buy a new one, so i hope this app helps many
