*Concept* Omnia like interface *Need suggestions*

Hi all,
After I seen the Omnia interface, I decided to try making one that is similar or maybe better functionality. Currently, itz just a basic concept which I hope to develop more.
*Note* This is not a release version and hence it is not fully functional yet. I am just seeking ideas and opinions at this present moment.
Thanks!

wow!! can't wait for this!

Is their a link to see what the Omnia Interface is like since I have never heard of it and have no idea what it is for.

its the Samsung interface..great thinking..if u need any help i have some knowledge in C#

So what are the essentials besides the clock, battery status, operator? I intend to make all these into icons and can be hidden or shown and placed any where on the screen.

text, mail, missed calls, call history, calender, task, alarms, comm manager, phone profile (ring, vibrate) & link to program launcher
That is what i usually use

Looks like something you could make in WAD very easily.

Yes but i was looking at developing it native so it keeps the memory small.

Fantastic idea, I was planning to start a thread like this.
In addition to the other feedback, don't forget some of the other functions of the HTC home, such as - weather and media player status.
Is your plan to imitate the TouchWiz II interface with the drag and drop icons, this would be an incredible addition to the current HTC offerings. Also, any plans for VGA for Universal and Athena owners?
Best of luck

Sound like a great idea!, keep working....thanks

A settings button would be very very useful.. I find it hard myself to get to settings without a sylus in a short amount of time.
A Quick SMS button would be a wonderful feature also.

icons
Hi there, would be great to see stuff like this. I aprreciate to test this one
In my opinion the icons of the samsung themes are too coloured. I would prefer to habve more "simpler" icons. - as these attached.
in case you want to get somethig like this let me know in case you want somebody to do some icons for u

[REQ] Bloomberg App

Hi guys,
First of all i wanna thank you all for making great apps and themes here.. Got to love it!
I work in finance, and uses my phone to check news, stocks etc. I just love the Bloomberg app for iPhone, and hope there are/will come something simular to this for Diamond/WM6.
Here is a review of the app for iPhone;
http://www.macworld.com/article/134571/2008/07/bloomberg11.html
Does anyone know of such a app, or could this be something to look at?
Sry for my bad english, and thanks..

unfortunately it doesn't work for diamond.
it should support 6.1
or can it be problem with the rom ?

Is there anyone that has actually used this app (bloomberg winmo) successfully
I have also installed it on the HTC (touchpro), but it doesnt work - cannot find any reviews or anything even related to the use of this app anywhere

Something wrong with Bloomberg app
Installs on Diamond successfully, however for some reason it fails to recognise my login/password properly. Am left with front screen only.
Another idea would be to try http://mobile.bloomberg.com if you insist on a Bloomberg interface. Many other providers (Yahoo, Quote.com, Reuters, etc) also provide their own versions of same thing.
A good implementation (based on Yahoo data) is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441204

Even if they developed the software bloomberg for winmo, you will not be able to use. you will need to be bloomberg anywhere account user, which will cost u a subscription free of mayb 1k per month? (called and checked with bloomberg) normal login don't work.
On the other hand, Iphone is giving the bloomberg app for free. Honestly speaking, I think Microsoft really have some major catching up to do. The Application for Iphone have far surpassed microsoft. and their application is really neat and cool. yahoo have abandoned all project to develope winmo application, but focus to develope iPhone app.
Even google mobile app is a shortcut to mobile view webpage. OMG, I'm quite disappointed with my winmo in this aspect.
If anyone can use the winmo bloomberg. please let me know how you did it. how did you get pass the login / password page.

[DEV STOPPED!!!] wFacebook [QVGA & VGA] - SEE POST #284

EDIT:
DEVELOPMENT HAS STOPPED! Microsoft released a Facebook application which far surpasses anything i could have done. Please use that app for all your facebook addictions. It does not have Facebook chat but you can use Palringo for Facebook Chat. I've been using it for about a week now and LOVE IT! Thank you for all your support. It was a good learning experience for me!
Inspired by the other development efforts on here, I started developing my own version a facebook application.
As promised, another beta. This one including a VGA line.
See Second Post for Features and change logs
Directions:
You need .net cf 3.5
Unzip, Start app, Login and enjoy
BOTH FILES INCLUDED IN THE ZIP NEED TO BE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY!!! If you want to make a shortcut, make sure you make a SHORTCUT of the .exe and don't just copy the .exe alone
(Please not that it does take some time to first log in to facebook (some times up to 2 minutes). We are working on this issue and will hopefully reduce this time as much as possible.)
wFacebook is now full screen. To exit you must do the following:
QVGA: There is an exit button on the Home Screen (temporarily placed here)
VGA: There is an exit button on the bottom bar
NEW PICTURES COMING SOON!
Hope you guys enjoy and I will be updating this regularly. Planned features include facebook chat and other goodies. Stay tuned.
Thanks go out to the people that have helped me (in no particular order):

I am admittedly very weak in the graphics department. I want to make this look like what the Windows Mobile Community wants.
I am getting help developing new controls that will provide a more intuitive User Interface. Stay tuned everyone. Big things are happening. There are a decent amount of people behind this project and together we can get something very good out. Maybe start a whole series of wSomething products

i am willing to help with the graphics designing..id like to make sure that this thing works on vga though..the other application doesnt work at all on my touch pro..
just tell me the formats and size (both VGA and QVGA...i can make them in VGA first and then downscale to QVGA so that no quality is lost) of those images and i'll do my best
edit..i tried the qvga version and it does work up to one extend but the layouts are messed up
anyway let me know if you would like some help for the images
iv used a lot of photoshop tutorials recently to learn a lot of things.. here are a few icons i made recently

does this need to be authorised on facebook? if so do you have a link?
i have installed on my diamond to test (i know the graphics will be out) and am currently passing 7 mins for first logon.
that can't be right can it?
ps this looks very promising, keep working on it looking forward to seeing the vga version working

It does not need to be authorized. Please exit and restart the application. I have noticed a bug where if you recieve a call or text when it is connecting, something goes out of wack. Exit and restart and it should connect just fine. It does take a bit to connect but never that long.

I would be willing to help you with graphics just let me know and I'll whip some up for you

Ok just tried this app ( I can't get the other one to work at all on my wizard ) and unfortunatly when I try signing in it gives me a really long error message something bout system.indexoutofrange exception or something like tht

Is this right after you were logged in? Which button did you press? I will be uploading another version shortly that copies the error messages so you guys can attach here.
The most important thing is funtionality so I will be tackling these issues right away so any directions you can provide about what you did to get the error would be extremely helpful (if I can't reproduce it, I can't fix it).

Since facebook can be user customised with various applications and stuff, replicating an error might now always be feasible. Plus handling someone with a few thousand friends (yeah right ) could be troublesome.
Maybe for the first versions you can add a full debug log? Before every major function call you can write to file the arguments you are using (or at least a note of you are going to do). It might be slow(er) from a user perspective, but could make your life and debugging *much* easier.

As with the other Facebook application here, this one logs you out of facebook from other machines/devices when you log in with this app.

[APP] MySpace for 6.5

This is nothing special, but I was searching for it and couldnt find it, so I threw it together.
It is simply a wrapper for the Myspace Mobile site (m.myspace.com) and should render in all resolutions.
It makes use of the widget capabilities of Windows 6.5, and thus is ONLY FOR 6.5. This is not a ".cab" file it is a ".wgt" file.
Extract the ".wgt" and click to install it!
The only know bug is when installing some users may get the "There is no application associated with Myspace. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application" error depending on how the ".wgt" association is setup . To fix it, install Themuzz's solution which sets the association to open the Widget Installer.

works good so for, nice job.

it will be nice with screenshot

It is a Windows Mobile "Widget"
MSDN Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd721906.aspx

this is pretty sweet. too bad I almost dont use MySpace anymore.
running on my tilt, I had an issue; fonts are TOO big; and there is an issue that it does not take up all of the available screen like the other widgets do. the scroll bars are useless in winmo6.5.
great thing though. works very quick and loads images quickly too. it would be nice to be able to save images in it (for contacts) but that is probably asking too much. lol.
thanks. this will stay.

Hi,
nice widget, but small letters. Please make it finger friendly. My Device - Touch HD with 480 x 800 pixel.
with friendly greet

very nice
thanks for sharing mate
