[REQ] Interactive Mario lockscreen (like the Throttle Launcher one) - Windows Mobile Software Development

was searching for a cooler lock screen and came across this skin for throttlelock **cannot post link cuz im a new mbr.... but w w w throttlelauncher . com /portal/component/option,com_sobi2/Itemid,99/catid,6/sobi2Id,528/sobi2Task,sobi2Details/
i was wondering if it was even possible to make an actually mario game with the level exactly like the one in picture and u actually have to get lets say 3 mushrooms to unlock the screen? i know battery life whatever this is wayy worth it. and also add the bad guys for difficulty. just incase some children under.....5? years old get ahold of ur fone??
[Mod edit: changed title]

Firstly, please be sure that the title of the thread actually describes the thread. Also, please try to use proper English such that non-English speakers can easily put it through an online translator.
Secondly, I don't think this would be very popular, as the whole point of a lockscreen is to prevent accidental (or malicious) access to the phone, while still enabling the owner to quickly get past it.
And finally,
Welcome to Xda-Developers!

[DEV] [12-3-08 ] Manila Style Gaming Preview [NEW DEMO]

hey guys... me and I3v5y
have been working on a ui for gaming on the HD... here is our template.... but as i do not have my HD with me nor does he... we need to find out how it works....
please post a screen shot and report problems.... the faster you do so the quicker we can get this project done....
Where are we in Development?
We have finished Ui development and are starting the game development...
*UPDATE*
New TEST VERSION
Download here: http://cid-cddbf77985693632.skydriv...A files/Programs/ManilaGames/base.Demo.02.exe
guys we need to know!!!!
does it work smooth....
almost no description
no screenshots (you're asking us to post some, yet you're the developer)
a .exe (which to my knowledge wont work on mobile phones, i dont have a WM-powered mobile phone but i've read that install files are in .cab)
6 posts makes you think you're new and therefore many ppl won't download it and trust you.
so either its a virus and the-like or its real but you provided almost nothing that makes us think its 'real'.
topic reported so mods can take a view
Edit: took a look at your other posts and it looks like you're being serious. So sorry if i interrupted your topic with my (probably) false-indication
Edit2: nvm, its real. a mod made this exe. so again im sorry for the false statement and the report
for people reporting this thread
all is good....just checked posts look here if still unsure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3114391#post3114391
there is nothing wrong or "fishy" with this thread.
thank you
thank you.... i think????
lol
so can someone give me a report on how it runs on the device???? and a screenshot?
The app runs smoothly on my HD (IT ram 1.14): see screenshot attached.
hey, apart the game: what about making it as a launcher too (as touchlaunch or M2DAppLauncher? it seems perfect! and those apps seems to be dead...
I tried your game and till now it works very well. The touchscreen reaction is very good. But on the top in the left corner of the slider is one litle blue line. I marked this with a red square on the second sreenshot.
thanks for that blackmonkey we will try to fix it but for now we need to get the actual game running
No problem...I´m waiting for more..good luck
New Demo Version check it out at the first post...
please post screenshots and tell about your experience....
ok i got demo 2 up and running,
let's say im at the home icon and want to go to stock. when i click on stock it shows the home icon. the sliding bar at the bottom wont go where my thumb is. it does follow the movement if i slide it over the screen (i hope you get what i mean)
also ermm the first time when im on a new screen it shows the icon for a very short time when i press the screen.
please post a screenshot i don't understand....
I pressed the stock button with my thumb on that pic.
oh i see...
yes at the moment it is made for sliding use only.... so you willl have to drag the slider from tab to tab.....
Maybe you will see an actual game release tommarow... nothing advanced... maybe a tick tac toe game....
but I will get the helicopter game finished
ahh cool, when i release my finger it does go to that spot so it does work like that the slider is just not sticking to my finger on the spot i press the screen. can't wait to see a game on this it runs smootly
Get read for the first actual game release tommarow!!!!!!!!
Can someone explain exactly what this is?
OK well the idea is to create games and applications that keep the manila style look....
so if you want to get to the settings portion of a game... you have the tf3d thing at the bottom of every app and game....
understand?
Ok. It wont intergrate into TF3D, it will just look like it?
first of all, fantastic work. i have a couple questions.
1, is it possible to get this to use the manila resources so whatever theme we're using is also used by the game?
2, how hard would it be to port across a few emulators into this? while things like morphgear work fine, the are hardly finger friendly. i'm thinking running game on the first tab, list of roms on the second, maybe in the style of contacts or music player so case pictures can be added. and then settings on the third tabs. that sort of thing anyway. how feasable is that?
i'm personally of the opinion that the more things that have a unified look the better so i think what you're doing is great.
many thanks

movie back grounds

Anywhere to do one? I have a friend that wants to try it not sure why talk about sucking your battery life..
what are you asking for ? your post makes no sence at all . Movie back ground ? Anywhere to do one ? not sure why talk about sucking your battery life ?
I like drugs too.... but id give it a rest for a bit mate.
well I said in plain english a friend wants to use a movie as a background instead of a still picture is their anyway to do this? basically what I said. Maybe I shoudl speak British english then no one would understand me
Please be nice (it's in the forum rules)! There's no room for racism here (or anywhere in today's world).
Besides, I concur that your initial post was difficult to understand. And your 2nd post wasn't much better either. Punctuation, grammer, and sound sentence structures would have helped.
Anyway, regarding your question, I assume you are asking for an animated background wallpaper? It's not possible with TF3D. The animation would have to be a GIF file or something. But once converted to a manila file, it'll be a still image.
Not sure if it's possible for an animated wallpaper on regular Today screen though. Perhaps someone else can jump in on it?
Btw, I don't really think this is a good idea. It'll probably negatively affect performance and battery life.
haha, your post is far from plain English mate
drawflex, you really shouldn't be so mean. Remember that English isn't the first language of many posters and as such there are lapses in coherence at times. Yes, the first post was confusing, in part due to a lack of punctuation, but your reply was just rude. We don't know where ajac is from so maybe English isn't his first language, maybe he (or she) was in a rush and wrote a run on sentence without reviewing it. We don't know and as such should not jump to conclusions. No need to flame.

I recall that S2U2 supports animated wallpapers. But it's not something I use because of high battery and resource usage. If you google "animated wallpaper windows mobile", you will find some other apps as well.
And seriously, please use punctuation. It sounds like your English-level is alright but you are deliberately typing with zero regards for the rules of the language..
Resco's Photo Viewer came with a screen capture.
You could capture some stills of a movie or show with this (or similar app) and use the files to build an animated .gif.
It would not be as much of a resource hog as a movie clip but it will still suck the life from your battery faster than a static page.

[Q] [Request] Simple number application

Hello,
I'm a starting devolper, i tried to install visual studio and the sdk's ect, but im stuck in a huge reducantion hell. but that aside.
I wourld realy like if someone is able to make me this application.
i want a simple application with 2 number input filelds (i would prefer if you use the sense sdk)
and the deafault value of both sould be 20, en max to 50, and min to 0.
I wourld realy like it if it has a scrolling function for the input.
it doesent have to do anything with the number.
for example of what i would like it to look like see atatchment
Hmmm,simple to do that.
May I have a question for what purpose do you need that?

For a game, Magic the Gathering. I would realy apriciate it if you made it
I can try to do something,but in different,bit simplier design first of all.
Scrolling or up/down controls?
Please describe better your requests,what exactly you want.
Well its realy easy to make, just ust the sense sdk, in the link upside, and it will graphicaly look right.
so that you can easly go up or down several numbers. so you can scroll it, it's nececairly
I could do that just using native code(I have knowledges just with Embedded Visual C++). I have no experiences with Sense SDK. Will be it hope enough. A will give a look at it within few hours.
Here we go.
Please check out this demo and let me know,if the scrolling is OK.
Exit from the app is by tapping area below 400pixels.
testing it now
---edit-----
works like a charm but a question can you make one box next to it, and some sort of line in the middle, so that you can see what value it has and maybe move it a bit away from the corner.
TYVM
Of course.
This is just a scrolling test. I started to develop it from zero.
Can you paint some layout you like?
The first one is how it curently looks the second one is what i like it to look like
Just so simple?
Sorry,I can't share it with this design
I will prepare something more clever okay?
sure, or jou could make it like this screenshot i posted in front. XD
---edit----
like the second one only bigger, and much longer
---edit----
look what i found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701177
Btw,what a device you are using?
This link you posted for my imagine of the design or did you found what you want?
i found what i wanted, thankyou very much
OK,no problem. However I'll finish that,maybe you'll like it.
Working on this design...
Tahts way better bit i dislike the brown, can you use red perhaps?, and i dont think its quite the resolution of my phone. i'v got the hd2
Well,little bit busy at work...
However I thought,you found your needs,so I start focusing on another things.
I can spend some time with further development...

Child locks?

I picked up a Samsung Epic for my daughter who is 6, has helped her a ton with reading and spelling by the excitement of sending and receiving text messages from some family members.
On her phone I would like her to be able to access select items that I create widgets or short cuts too on her screens, however I would like her to not be able to access any "settings", market or any app I haven't set on her desktop.
Anyone know a great app to do this with?
The apps that I have on her desktop are:
Phone/Contacts/Messaging
Camera/Gallery
My Coffee Card (widget)
Picture Frame (widget)
Zoodles
Chess
Pure Weather Widget
Pure Calendar Widget
and a Flash light widget.
She quickly figured out the phone, how to work the market, change her wall paper, change her ring tones and most everything else..Would just like to limit her access and use of the device.
Thanks a ton!

http://www.appbrain.com/app/toddler-lock/marcone.toddlerlock
Thanks for the links, but not really what I am looking for. More of something that won't let her create any short cuts or widgets, not not access any settings and not be able to open the app drawer without a code.
Something like this might not be present yet, however I think it is something many parents would pay for.
You could try using a custom launcher for example adw launcher
U can place whatever u want on the desktop and there's a "lock desktop" option so nothing can change wich can b found by pressing menu on the homescreen
And then u can go to the adw settings > general behavior > system prefences. And over there u can uncheck any option u don't want to show up on the menu button so uncheck "lock screen" so it won't show up and ur daughter won't b able to unlock the homescreens to change stuff
Also u may creat a category for the app drawer and remove any apps u don't want her to open so it will only show the ones you chose to show up
And I guess that will solve ur problem..?

Why not? My 4 year old daughter is rockin' CM7 on her Nook Color and she's got my old Moment too. These are great educational tools as well as toys for big boys.

I have to agree. We considered it for a while, the pros and cons. After all consideration we went with it as an educational tool.
We didn't want her to feel dependent upon it or become overly obsessed with it however there was a void in her spelling and reading abilities.. Almost over night her ability to spell and read increased greatly!
She has played Angry Birds and watched Hanna Montanna vids from YouTube (uncle and aunts doing), however her options to text message and play Zoodles has been great! One of the cool things as well, we went out to a Starbucks and she set up the Chess board for us to play, she has Chess on her phone.
Thanks for all the feedback, will try out that idea with a launcher tomorrow.
Adw launcher would have the better options I guess for what you seek. Glad to hear someone else realize the benefit of android for kids!
