Hi has anyone seen the Iphone ad running in the UK at the moment which has a handy app on it called the tipulator.
This is a simple calculator in which you type in the total amount of your restaurant bill then how much in percentage how much you want to tip then choose how many people you want to split the bill between and it tells you what each person has to pay.
I'm sure this would be pretty simple to build on the WM platform - has anyone seen anything like this?
Ye I second that. Would be a good idea.
I just use me brain. Time I got the HD app to do it, I'd have figured it out in my head!!
Just wondering if you even searched on Google? Because in less than 2 minutes i found these.

Or just the normal calculator...
Hmmm sounds like another excuse for iPhone owners to get their phone out and bore people stupid with how wonderful they think its is... the resturant as well as the pub now...
I'll stick to me head.... probably good but how difficault is 10%?

Same here.
wow - you need a special application to calculate total bill x 1.1 / people? What's wrong with the calculator?
I knew iPhone users can't think for themselves but we're supposed to be the smart ones.

Some people are obviously very lazy...
there is an iphone app for absolutely everything , and most of it is pointless, like the spirit level which is actually just the gsensor calibrate screen on the touch hd , there may be apps but good quality apps is what matters so let them have there mass load of rubbish, once we get a few 3d games we'll be laughin
We have freekin excel in our pockets you can calculate almost anything!
F Me! You are a miserable bunch of b*stards
I think its a pretty good idea. There are plenty of people out there who do not know how to reprogram a WM phone. Sory I'll rephrase - not SAD enough to know how to reprogram a WM phone!
So a neat little app like the tipulator is probably quite appealing.
"Oh we can't have that *geeky chortle chortle* why can't you write a few formulae in MS pocket excel" - Jeez, give me strength!
If I went out for a meal with a group of people and someone used excel to calculate the split, I'd think they were a complete tosser, and tell them so.
But then most of you aren't old enough to go into a pub let alone go out for a meal and not have your parents pay for it.
So I'll "third" the proposal.
stop making waves!
of course i am not expecting from someone that is preaching us about laziness to bother and make a search so i did and found in less than 15 seconds this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499829&highlight=tip+calculator
see, i used the search button and made the great effort of typing 2 words: tip calculator. well, i'll do anything for a little peace and order in this forum

Firstly if your asking for help then ask for it don't assault the people who could be programming this for you!
Secondly excel does exactly what you want it to do, if your too stupid to write a simple percentage calculation then your too thick to own a WM phone!
Thirdly I'm a comfortable programmer, I do it as part of my job, but I do have a life, I'm surrounded by good, intelligible friends, I enjoy power kiting and surfing, I probably have a much better life than you!
Fourthly if you think someone's a tosser for using a WM application (Excel) to calculate the tip then you MUST think they would be a tosser for using an identical application that someone's put on their device but with pretty pictures so rambling buttock scrapings like yourselve can use it without confusion!
Finally learn to use the search facillity it's really very simple, I also hear Google do these searches aswell!
So don't sign up to a developer forum calling all the developers misserable Bas*ards!
Don't retalliate with a barrage of insults when people try to help you!
And don't post without searching!
Oh yeh and I'm 22 more than old enough to drink in this country!
Just realised hurst didn't start this, sorry to the thread starter and hurst you're a gimp!
@joey
don't feed the troll! an undeserved effort to try and explain something to "his kind".
he doesn't know to use google and u are asking him to use excel??!! imagine asking him to make the calculation using his head....lol! another rude a..s hole!
did you guys miss my post in the previous page? I posted a bunch of tip programs.
I dont think anyone really wants a "tipulator" cos its useless. More useful would be the bill splitting thing that they showed on the iphone advert. I know its another thing from the iphone n stuff....but that is actually gd unlike half the apps from the apple store.
Has anyone got anything like that already? if yes then pls share with us!
Ok so... I have tried many apps for our touch HD but none has kept me entertained for long enough!!!
So suggest something interesting-- anything games, apps, cool features--something for fun and to spend time!!!
Please when suggesting apps add some links to the app(but remember no warez)
Ill try to make a list in post 2!!!!!!
Ill list the apps here!!!!

Once again Spartan takes the high ground, when I stupidly get annoyed by the school bully being mean to the new kid and retaliate by knocking the bully's lunch on the floor... When will I learn?
WTF?
Stop fooling around guys, this thread is really good.
I suggest erasing this one and making a new one with the same topic.
I would also like to know if anyone came across some good stuff...
I am personally checking almost every day if there is something new.
But still nothing that is that much of interest.
Lately it was PointUI2 - I really like it but I am gonna stick with SPB Mobile Shell 2 for some time. But PointUI is really nice and has good functions.
So who's next?
Anyway way back to topic, anythink interesting for touch HD that stays interesting for more than 5mins. I would recommend Music ID and the default youtube app
Music ID = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439974
Fairplay. The least I can do is make a constructive addition to this thread.
And that is.... Drum roll.... PDAcraft paint http://www.pdacraft.com/paint.php
A very cool little a painting/drawing app that works on the HD. Hours of fun

A better question might be, what exactly do you want your phone to do?
Other than the built in stuff, (the camera, the mp3 player, video player and internet tablet... is there something more that youare after?
GRemote: is **** hot... allowing you to control media player on your PC.
Music ID: is essential if you have even a passing interest in music.
An RSS reader: to have all your news delivered to your phone just in time for breakfast and/or lunch breaks.
"MYplayer": is worth a try if you are having trouble with the getting iplayer to work.
omniano: is good for a laugh, but without multi touch very limited
S2P: is nice to flick through your album covers...
Google maps and live search maps: do what they say on the tin.
Also Microsoft voice commander is quite fun... at times even useful.
Microsoft Recite is good too - a dictaphone with speech search (altho not touchscreen which is annoying).

could you post some links to these apps!!!!
ill try to find some links but i cant find all of them!!!
hey guys !! how is it going ???
hoooooooly cow, whoa there, just whoa.
seriously buddy, I wasn't ripping into you you started off with a pretty mundane post and in my infinate bordeom I wrote a simple lame observation and then had fun with it, and as for the others jumping in suggesting that I get banned, thats...thats insane thats not 'attitude' your reading its light heartedness quit jumping on the 'troll TROLL TROLLL!!!' bandwaggon its overreactive and very offputting to those of us who enjoy this forum and want to inject a little humanity into it.
Anyway this has surprisingly turned into a semi interesting post;
QuickMark http://www.quickmark.cn/En/basic/index.asp has been fun, it scans in barcodes and you can link it to a central database such as upcdatabase.com, it can re-encode QR codes into url's and contact information etc. great fun to make your own QR/Barcodes.
Scrobble http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474373 is so far the best port of Scrabble on the WM platform, the guys done a cracking job and allowed custom dictionaries to be used.
I think Xtract has been mentioned, I lovely little game, but painfully short and easy.
Fair enough mate, you clearly didn't mean to offend the guy. That's the problem with making jokes in writing. It's very easy to missinterpret. If you look back at what you initialy said, you can see why we might of thought you were just being out of order rather than tounge in cheek.
Anyway, apologies if I reacted a little harshly myself. I got a bit carried away

WOOWW... Amazing project!
Thanks to the TS.
I will give it a try when it's ready.
if you really want that sort of ui u will get in few mins just go to wad and create it one its as simple as creating a silly html webpage and i am not that perfect in those things but i came to know when i used concept theme very recent.
why dont people start better ui rather den copying a simmillar one even the placement of icons...
so pity.
sorry if i offend or hurt anyone but thats damn truth anything mere ui is appreciated den a silly copy
Hm
it looks good and it appears to go further than any other UI with the exception on Touch Flo 3D. I am impressed with what you have even if you appear to have taken the photographs with a pinhole camera from the early 20th century!
What I feel is needed in such a project is a set of icons that have a similar theme running throughout, that are hi-res and professional looking.
Get a good graphic design artist onboard from the outset. There are plenty here.
Good luck and I wish you well.
H
u guys seriously like the iPhone UI look? i hate it. it reminds me of my desktop. icons everywhere.
GooGooGOgoOGo ! ~
Guys,
Are you working on something similar to this?
Cheers.
What about animations? Can we expect such stuff as sliding between screens/ rotating animation or anything?
I do like the effort of making a new UI but if I wanted an iPhone I would have bought one.. This is just to much of a copy for me..
Good job, but I never understand why there is so much enthusiasm to do with a Windows Mobile device an iPhone ! It's just my opinion,but in this case I prefer to buy an iPhone ...
it's very wonderful work man
not bad
It's really great.
is it consume much memory while this ui is loaded ? as compare with HD TFLO 3D ?
Let´s See how it works!Looks very good!
Looks interesting~ Wish could see new release very soon.
I am more interested in what this gives over things such as ifonz or iphonetoday, both things which emulate the same sort of UI design. As someone posted earlier, does it come with animated transitions or is it gearedtowards being fast/
Either way, im interested to see how this turns out.
I have to admit though, it doesnt seem entirely logical to make an expensive phone look like a not so expensive, widely used phone...
I was using an iPhone 3G before my current HD and I did not like the screen full of icon look. I prefer the TF3D where I can view my calendar at the home screen right away so I'll probably give this a miss. But what I DO like about the iPhone is that everything is designed for touch use unlike WM where beyond the UI, it's still the touch-unfriendly interface where I have to use a stylus. If there is a UI that allows for that in WM, then it's perfect for me!
It´s amazing the iphone effect on people. The apple marketing guys are very efficient in creating a worldwide desire for that fruit.
You can see a lot of iphone type interfaces for every platform. I´ve recently found one for symbiam.
I would like to see a touchflo for iphone, for instance........
Had this on my Diamond and wondered if there was anything available similar. I have checked myself on the net but so far couldn't find anything.
Maybe someone could create one.
i was looking for the same thing, but i geuss nobody has done it yet.
to bad, it would be really cool to have somthing like that.
Re VR Hologram
Yes, loved it on my Diamond.
Come on guys, someone must be able to create one.
no disrespect, but i'm geussing it might be a lot more difficult then it sounds or looks.
i'm really NOT a computer-specialist, but it sounds really difficult to create a software that can do the things this program can do.
i mean, it checks your movement, it calculates the motion, it adjust the picture, etc.etc. and all of that on several levels.
maybe it's just not doable.
I'm sure integrating the accelerometer and the Compass, that can be achieved.
Interesting, but then what ? I mean, would this application be useful in some way ? orientation+accelerometer and some math *_*

yeah, like there are no widgets or apps that are useless, but just fun.
i've got a few apps that don't do anything, except something a bit funny.
does it have to be usefull?
i've got quake 3 on my phone, is that usefull?
it's just cool to show that your phone can do that, besides that VR program (which they had running on the htc diamond) looks really cool.
it has no purpose, but it just looks awesome.
but perhaps it's just way to difficult to port a windows mobile app to android.
This thing? What's the point?
I want!!
..
It's called cgPerspective
I almost was worrying that nobody would ask for it.
I loosely ported the application to Java and OpenGL, you can find it on the market as cgPerspective. (cgPerspective)
I would appreciate feedback in how I could enhance it even more.
Thanks
Excellent stuff

do you know of 1 single app that shows a really cool virtual show off wath a phone like this can do with visual entertainment?
there is none.. except for this thing.
there is no app that uses it's possibilities, and no game that does.
still, it's possible, but apparently nobody ever though that visual beauty would work great in games (ooh wait, they do, but no programmer for phones ever thought of it...).
so it's an awesome app to just show you what can be done.

looks great dude, awesome.
but i wonder why it reacts a bit sluggisch...
there's this tiny delay between the movement of the phone and the movement of the image.
to bad i can't zoom in or out.
but still, it looks great.
it's almost the thing that i was searching for.
oh so cool!!
any more ports of iphone 3d hologram apps?
There are so many wonderful hologram apps for the iphone, those must be possible to make for the iphone too right?
looking forward to see them in the marketplace
cgperspective works like a charm on my Desire..
Dennis
VR live wallpaper:
where can I download this? It is awsome..
Heh, that is really neat!! Thanks for doing it. The only thing that could make it even better is if you could add a zoom feature. I have the HTC Desire.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but this is pretty cool on the ipad:

VR Hologram running on my HTC Touch HD... I think, an Android-version would be great!
Edit: Ohh, VR live wallpaper seems to be great...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FEcG0kx7_0&feature=player_embedded
it looks freaking awesome
You also forgot to mention advanced config tool is coming to wp7 as well from the great schaps. Not sure if they will be sideloaded or from the marketplace yet.
Stuff like this was cool back in WinMo, but I wouldn't dig something like this on WP7. It takes a lovely interface and yuks it up.
It looks very boring and silly. The standard is far away... On the better way
Exactly, I won't install this 2007-looking-****. That is why I don't think I'll EVER install a "facelift" tweak/app on a Windows Phone if it doesn't come from MS.
I love the minimalistic big clean UI . There's nothing like it on the market and it's one of the main reasons (if not the main) of buying my HD7
I think advanced config tool will be much needed for wp7. It is a good os overall which has left me chill on modding heavily
I saw more black screens than anything else on the video.
I really hope this is not the future of wp7... Respect the skills of the programmer, but I think Microsoft, who put a huge ammount of money and time in the Metro design, did a pretty good job!

don't worry this will be the same as htc hup (if not it wound be in the marketplace)
if you look at the youtube video you see that julien is only using the back button and not the windows button.
here isa link to his profile http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=354354
well...I liked the initiative for the project personally and there are elements I enjoy. I really wouldn't mind a program that functions similarly to htc hub but adds a lot of useful things to wp7 experience
so I would love to test this once betas are released
Probably wont be approved, looks like it has system access which isnt allowed. Plus it really is pointless, WP7 is fine the way it is.

don't think so , way would he make a complete UI only for phones that are dev unlocked , batt is a simple .reg key , wifi is a simple .reg key , netwerk (3g , H eV) are also simple .reg key's .
the rest you see are simple links to marketplace (same as marketplace search)
Mmm, not interested. I like Metro just fine, thanks.
the problem is that it is to little and to late , I WAS really in love with Touchxperience on wm6.*(but it was never ready ) but on wp7 I really don't want it .
You can't modify reg keys, it won't be approved.
Yeah, I agree with pretty much everyone else here. This app is similar to the Xperia X10. Offers too little and too late.
The current UI is badass, brilliant and intuitive. Why would we want this anymore?
It would've been killer on 6.5 but now? NTY
