Updated with NCAA Football support
This is for WM6.1 standard, smarthphones ONLY using sliding panel homescreen.
Thanks to ScottyMoMo for this pocket sportscenter app from this thread here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=161402
This is a homescreen plugin for ScottyMoMo's Pocket SportsCenter for smartphone. This plugin will display any teams that you select in PSC. Teams only as of now, may add more support later. PSC allows you to select teams from MLB, NFL, NBA, or NHL. Once you select the teams in PSC, select the option to exit and save teams to panel.
NCAA football Top 25 teams are now available for scores and updates on page 2 of the sports panel. Since my feed only gives top 25 scores, and most teams I follow are in the top 25, I went ahead with a top 25 scoreboard instead of including team support. When activated it will provide the top 25 teams scores and start times on the text loop in clock panel. Scheduling will not work for auto updates. It will have to manually be started and stopped since there are so many different game times.
The first page of panel is for PSC setup and options. The second is NCAA football. The rest of the pages are for your teams( I allowed for up to 20 teams to be added). From the teams' pages, The ActionURL will do a manual update for that team. The softkey URL will open auto update options which are as follows:
1) stop auto updates
2) 5 minute intervals
3) 10 minute intervals
4) 15 minute intervals
5) Custom intervals
6) Setup timezone( for auto updates scheduling)
After selecting an interval it will save it and run an update. Only one team at a time on updates, both manual and auto. You can go to another page to manual update another team while one is on auto, but only 1 auto update can be run at a time.
I added an automatic scheduling for the auto updates also. When you click on auto update, it will check to see if game is already started or if it should wait till game time. If it finds a game time, it will then set itself to wait and start the autoupdates at that time. Once it gets the final score, auto update will stop automatically. Auto updates should not be started until game day and should work when set the day of game, but not if you try to set before that day.
It now has clock panel text loop support for the auto updates. So if auto is running, it will display game info for that team in operator name text area along with team icon. When auto stops, then text reverts back to network id or weather along with icon that was there before auto started.
TO INSTALL THIS:
1) Install either with the cab . Install to Main memory for now, I'll have to make a few adjustments for the storage card(should be ready in a few days).
2) After installation, go to the start menu and find Pocket SportsCenter. Click on this and setup your teams.
3) After selecting your teams, click on Exit and Save Teams to panel.
4) Now, if all has gone correctly, your homescreen will refresh and the new Sports panel will be visible with your teams, ready for use.
For anyone that needs to replace/fix their team icon folders, all league zip files are in post #135.
To Uninstall: Use Remove Programs and uninstall this cab. Then you will need to reboot or refresh your homescreen to remove the Sports panel.
If there's enough interest in this, I will take the time to make this real nice. Lets see a "show of hands" or keyboards... or whatever..lol
here's a hand and keyboard thumbs up!
would be huge
Would love this. I have Pocketsportscenter but not like this!
I'm Swiss.
I would absolutely love this on my dash, if your gonna do it then i can't wait because your chome weather is awesome so I'm sure this will be as well!!!

Can i raise a few sets of hands?
i got my hand raised
definatly go for it. that way when basketball season comes around again ill be ready
Awesome! I wanted you to take it Org, but I knew you were busy. Thats why I posted, hoping you couldn't resist. Get your new house taken care of, and then show us the magic.
I'll work on it slowly at night... So it might take a few days. Besides, it looks like most of the work is already done, so I just have to make it pretty and useful

Oh yah for sure I am waiting for this to be a nice program... it should be exciting...
here's a hand and can't wait
My hand is way up!!!
Showaco, Even though I'm not into sports - I would like to thank you for spending the time to make this for our community. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this, good idea and good program...
This hands up here!
O! You could make this real nice! Im interested!
1) Copy and paste (its really irritating that i must memorise number and type manually into notes)
2) Wallpaper background (animated tiles is not enought, the menu screen looks really bored)
3) Customise tiles (i wanna put my own picture on my own tiles! some stock tiles looks really bad)
4) Custom ringtone
5) better video capability and zooming function on my hd7 (the current video function is worst than my 3years old sony ericson phone~)
6) my camera setting keeps going back default. i must switch off my flash and lower down the camera sound manually every time i use it.
7) LED flash light.
8) cheaper apps/games. iphone are selling their games at $0.99, WP7 $10.99 (omfgbbq)
9) Bing is really lousy, i prefer google search...
10) turn by turn navigation with voice direction.
11) Multi-tasking (i know wp7 is capable of multitasking, but wat i want is having the game to resume to its window without reloading another 1 min..)
12) screen capture (i want to show off my screen to my frens!
13) able to off the hot keys below my screen, when ever i play game, my fingers will touch it accidentally then everything in my games will be gone!
thats it for now! =D
I just want mine to have a bitten apple behind, and keep this sexy UI, so we could have updates
The best of both worlds

1/. Coming in NoDo, whenever the hell that is. Well documented, read about it.
2/. Do you stare at your phone? I never understood this
3/. People work hard to make their tiles. It's actually up to them to give that option anyway, not MS. Case in point, Pin to Start.
4/. While you can't do it without dev-unlocking, can be done easily with TouchXplorer
5/.Agreed, but that's not MS's fault either. Blame OEMs
6/. Apparently it's a feature, an annoying one, but a feature none-the-less.
7/. The HD7 has dual LED flashlights.
8/. What game is $10.99?
9/. Bing search is more accurate than Google search because it uses Google search and other algorithims.
10/. A to B
11/. Mango update whenever that is. Also well documented.
12/. Whenever that app happens, it happens. Maybe you can code it for us?
13/. Don't get so excited while playing games!

Not sure, but apps are definitely more expensive on wp7 compared to Android/iOS. Even the same exact app. Hopefully this will change when there is more competition.

I so know what you mean about points 11 and 13. Games are so slow to load and have terrible resume function. If I get an email when playing a game, I dare not try and read it until I am finished gaming. So annoying.
The rest for me is not so important though I just dont get the custom ringtone thing.

5.I think MS can do that since WP7 are take control everything in the hardware..
ex. Battery charger.. you can't charge WP7 device if the OS is not running right ?
10.A to B using Bing map for navigation, and it useless when you live in other country. (I live in Thailand and Bing map is many suck for sure.)
11.It must wait too long since wee see they made it already.
12.With no multitasking, It's useless to release the screen capture app because we can't run this app in the background and use shortcut to make it capture right ?
(With this thing, I will already said we have wait too long.)
13.Why ? we have playing game for... ?? Entertainment right.... ?

Where do you live that A to B isn't good enough?
And you have a HTC phone right? Get the damn flashlight app. It's pinned to my start screen so I can see where my dogs **** at night!!!
Are you in America? Because in America, there are no games for $10.99. Not one.
If you're in Australia or somewhere else, I can't speak for you, but where I live and where it is automatically assumed you are from unless you state so on this forum, is America.

A to B does not use Bing maps dude. I used A to B successfully in Germany when Bing Maps wouldn't work.
MS have minimum specs for hardware specs. The quality of the sensor is up to the OEM. MS can't do a damn thing about that without pissing off the OEM.
Saying we play games for entertainment isn't an excuse. That's like button-mashing on a console game and saying I was too excited so skill went out the door. Using the game controls while excited is also a skill.

Excellent list of wants! You won't get 'em. Well...at least not all of them...for a very long time. You'll likely be tired of your WP7 device long before you see the majority of those items and be looking at moving on to something new.
But hey! If you do hang on long enough, you'll get the majority of them.

Damn, it seems like you would settle for anything microsoft gave you, and then just make up excuses even if some of these things actually would make the OS better.
2. I don't see the problem with letting someone change the background. Both iOS and Android have this function.
3. It's interesting that he mentioned that some of the stock tiles look bad. Today, I showed my friend (who's a girl) a windows phone for the first time, and her immediate reaction was that the tiles were ugly. Unfortunately, like iOS, I doubt this function will come anytime soon without "unlocking" the phone.
6. I just have to say, that this so-called feature is really annoying. I really hope they change it. Or allow us to turn it off.
8. While I don't think most games are 10.99, I believe he was making a point (and a correct one) that prices in general are much higher compared to iOS and Android. Fortunately, prices should slowly decrease once the app number increases, more developers creating games with increasing quality, and with more people realizing how refreshing WP7 is.
9. Honestly, I don't have much experience comparing Bing and Google search, but even iOS lets you change their search engines (Bing, Google and Yahoo). I'm not sure if you can on Android... anyone know?
10. Do you really not want turn-by-turn gps? Or voice directions? Those were the things I LOVED about Android. Google maps is genius. Bing maps is good, but it could be so better if it has these functions. Oh, and allow voice searching for maps. (Edit: I actually tried A-to-B... that application is pretty bad. It's slow and looks pretty unprofessional. But hey, it's free)
13. I'm really surprised more people in general don't want physical buttons. I'm a big fan of the single, depressed button that Apple uses. It allows the phone to stay flat and still not by hypersensitive to accidental brushes of the finger. I'd like to think that older people (maybe >40 years old) would be more receptive to these new OSs if more phones had physical buttons (not necessary just one). But that's just me hypothesizing.
Since we have plenty of YouTube app alternatives in the marketplace now, I was just curious to see which one people preferred the most. Personally I really love LazyTube because I'm sort of a power user on YouTube myself.
As a Focus user, Supertube is my go to.
i dont use youtube on my phone...
ill stick with msn video and ustream
HTC YouTube Supports Account Login, comes from a company I'm certain will support it, supports HQ streaming, and is free.
So yea... I prefer that until Microsoft gets their better YouTube client out the door.
I use the HTC app both on my Focus and Arrive.
supertube supports account login now...I like my supertube
but where would I find the HTC youtube app for my focus
forgive my ignorance
Yeah I know SuperTube and HTC have login support, but the way subscriptions work on LazyWorm are better than those imo. In the HTC app all of my subscription videos show up out of order and there's no way to sort them by most recent.

You can only get the HTC YouTube app if you have developer unlocked your phone either officially as a developer or with the ChevronWP7 hack. It will only work if you have a firmware before NoDo. If you want to know how to jailbreak, you can go here for the beginners' guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106
I'm not such a YouTube power user that I care that much about subscriptions or how they're sorted, and if that meant that much for me I'd just use my Vibrant. I carry it and my HD7 everywhere with me, anyways...
And even if I'd cut it off, I could still use it sort of like an iPod touch over WiFi
I don't see a point in paying for something like that, and I've already been burned by Board Express (Terrible Performance, etc.) and Birdsong (still haven't added a Live Tile, etc.). Don't think I'll ever buy another mobile app again, Lol.
I have an Omnia 7 so no HTC app for me. I like both SuperTube and Lazyworm but the latter is the better one overall (downloads are pointless as far as I'm concerned so no need for that). Lazyworm supports likes and HQ over 3G and links to the Zune hub, that's pretty cool.
One thing I will say though: the Lazyworm icon is damn ugly, specially when pinned to your main screen. It's like it was made by/for a kid and is in total contrast to the SuperTube icon which looks very nice.
Anyway, like someone else said I wish Microsoft could release a proper app already.
I couldn't care less about being able to log into my account on a Youtube app, but I what I have seem to work for different situations:
I have SuperTube for the HD videos (the quality on small screen is amazing), and for downloading some videos to watch on the commute.
I have RealTube for good streaming on 3G, and for other sites with video.
I use the LazyWord Youtube app just because the new version looks so pretty, and the UI is very well thought out.
I sideloaded the HTC 2.0 Youtube just to see what it's all about, and it is pretty good, but not my standard go to Youtube app.
And of course, the Youtube "enabler" from Microsoft.

This I totally agree. The Lazyworm icon is really terrible .
Hope they can change it.
It's the only downside I find. I hope we can have a more sober icon, just the YouTube logo would be perfect (why this worm ? Why this brown color ? ).
Otherwise the UI of LazyWorm is very nice and it's my favorite YouTube app at the moment.
I really don't use the download function so SuperTube is ok but not so useful to me.

After people requested a new icon, they came up with that for the next release:
http://twitpic.com/4h688o
I know what you're thinking: What The F...?!
Currently just using the HTC Youtube app, or just via IE if I wanna find videos from users i subscribe to, might check out SuperTube.
Aww where is the love xda... sitting in last place !
Seriously though, great poll and it's very interesting seeing where we are falling short. We are in for the long haul and plan to continually improve on what we have so getting constructive feedback like this is EXACTLY what we are after.
I'm curious as to why people prefer the HTC app over our solution considering our free version supports more features and many have said sports a superior interface / experience?
We have been receiving several comments, suggestions and feedback from our users via ratings, emails, facebook and twitter. We will be releasing 2.1 very soon which should hopefully address some of these issues and include some awesome new features (so please stay tuned).
Thanks to those who are voting for us and for those who didn't we will strive to win you over next time!
Finally, I'll leave you guys to comment on our YouTube 2.1 (free) & LazyTube 2.1 (99c) tile icon concepts attached
Thank you for contributing to the thread. I'll go straight to the only 2 things I don't like about your app:
- I would like an option in settings to pick the light or dark theme independently of my actual phone theme.
- Your icon is too childish, sorry I can't find another way to put it. Smartphones are for adults and the cute worm doesn't cut it I'm afraid. I'd like something that looks good and cool like when SuperTube redesigned their icon. Even just the word Youtube with nothing else would be better.
Great work otherwise, I love the app and appreciate the fact that it remains free with no ads.

Hello,
Thank you for the feedback.
No offence, but sorry I really dont' like the current icon and the ones you suggest above.
I totally understand that you would like to keep the worm since it is a symbol of LazyWorm, and therefore a part of your identity.... But unfortunately it is not very beautiful and not very sober, so it ruins the beauty of the icon.
I do adore Lazyworm and it's the only negative point I find. I am not very happy when I have to stick the live tile on my start screen
I hope you will not feel offended by my comment, it is not my purpose.

Thanks for your reply, but my question was how can I find the HTC Youtube app, not how to unlock my phone, LOL. I would have asked that question first if thats what I wanted. No offense. Ive searched the forums but may have missed it. can someone else help me out
I use LazyWorm and HTC YouTube. Even tough I prefer LazyWorm, which has a great UI, quality, speed and smoothness, I sometimes just want to know what's new on YouTube that comes from Germany. HTC YouTube supports regions, LazyWorm sadly doesn't.

Even just the word Youtube with nothing else would be better.

Yes, I agree. The same icon without the worm would be really better, or a simple YouTube logo (maybe replacing 'You' by 'Lazy')...
Also, if LazyWorm could supports regions, like HTC YouTube does, it would be cool indeed.
I like it.. Keep up the good work. Dont listen to these fools. Thats your logo. Stand by it.

i would just love wp7 to look like that, lets hope that after mango rtm release, hackers and modders will start to make such a great things
it looks a lot like bada
I saw this some time ago. Great design.
That is a big negative for me. Don't mess Windows phone up with Android style.
Just let the Metro UI be itself. The only thing i want in Metro Ui, is the ability to change the background (not the lockscreen) and the icon has a glassy style, in order to view the background through the list of apps.
That is all i want, Microsoft WP teams are doing their best to give a top performance for Windows Phone user, i perfer that way to a OS that everyone can touch and then the OS is given the worst feedback from User because they use a bad-coded custom ROM.
Just take Android for an example. Android itself , or Google Build, never hear any complaination, or less than all other Carrier/Factory Custom Build.
About making a good custom ROM, i will give HTC a go, they usually make the best custom ROM from Windows Mobile 6.5 to Android.
Looks ugly. The current UI is much better, simpler and better looking. Shiny buttons and gradients are way overused.
sure it's different, but not using the space wisely. one widget can display time, date, news, weather, and a favorite rss feed or two.
ok, TILE, one tile can. widget, tile, whatever.
i was too slow on the screenshots to get teh time changing, and video, well, video screen casts are just annoying to edit, so here's a couple of stills. much less space used, and the information is still there.
ugh, leave metro alone, i left android for a reason, and a bad UI is one of them. :\
...oh no...please don't......
If I wanted an overload of ugly widgets, I would have bought an Android device. Metro is simple, clean and beautiful just the way it is.
noone said that metro looks bad, i just think that with mods, wp7 scene can make it better, i love wp7 but for now i have to scroll whole page to get to bottom tiles,
Some informations should be visible right after screen unlock, and limiting them to 8 tiles (that are visible without scroll) is not enough.
And honestly its xda developers for god sake, so dont tell me you wouldnt like some mods.. : O
Do it yourself
ok, thanks for useless suggestion useless guy

there's been other concepts which i feel were better in the design department to get more information on the initial start screen such as these:
http://www.wpcentral.com/fan-concept-ii-what-if-windows-phone-had-folders
http://www.wpcentral.com/fan-concept-what-if-windows-phone-had-smaller-tiles
those keep in line with the metro design better imo.
i'm all for mods, but i'd rather them take longer and put some thought into the UI as to not ruin it
Screw the mods. MS got it right the first time lol. I have an Android and want a WP7 sooooo bad because of the simplicity and those sexy tiles.
And the cool menu pages, sliding right to left and vice versa. Sweet as candy.
I think WP7 should stay the way it is, because its just right. Maybe android can look like that, lets all remember android is the one os that embraces customization. WP7 don't.
I don’t think MS will or should allow to change the UI, WP7 identity is the UI... beside the smooth OS....
ppl have to chose what they what tile or widgets...
Yeah if they change the ui at all, I'm sticking to Android. Mine as well have all of the customization if I can only have "some". It is beyond perfect the way it is lol.

Metro is just fine.
Hello all - Mr. TechDunce, UK here ....
Seriously, I am of a generation that struggles valiantly to cope with IT, and is looked at pityingly by offspring with the odd comment that "well, you do try, Dad " and " well, you usually get there in the end...." !
Which is about right I suppose ! He also tries to sort me out, but is a way away, so not always on tap ....
However, having succumbed to the delights of the Tab S 10.5 (white, 16g, 128micro card) following an intensive "WHICH" test and review (which gave it the edge over ipad-ery), I am struggling a bit with some simple features - but love the tablet itself, a delight to use, superb picture, very long-lived battery life, excellent response etc...., easy on the eye, and nice to hold.
In short, I'm generally thrilled with it .
But a few things beat me, the main annoyance being I can't figure how to simply bookmark a site/page for easy reference - i.e. how to do it, and then how to access it when needed.
For now, it's my biggest bugbear, but if anyone can help with this, I'll master that before exposing my ignorance any more just yet - I do prefer to find out for myself, but this has me flummoxed !
Here's hoping a kindly soul takes pity on me .....
You should see a star at the end of the address bar ( at the top of the page). Touch it and this will give you the option to save the page as a bookmark. The star will turn yellow when you have successfully saved.
