Introducing "Home Screen Customizer" - A finger friendly app available on Marketplace that allows you to customize your Titanium home screen.
v1.5 Screenshots (Showing new Favorite Apps/MRU panel on the right):
This app allows you to rearrange the home screen panels to your liking by simply press & hold then drag the panels around (See left most screenshot). You can also add additional panels or remove existing panels.
Download
The app is on US Marketplace under Tools category. Or use keyword "home screen" to search for it.
The app is also available in many other regions. If I have translation for a language, then it's likely available in that region. Note that v1.5 is not yet available outside US but will be rolled out as Microsoft approves the app for other regions.
If it's not available in your region, you can still switch your Marketplace application to US English or another region that has the app in order to download the Customizer.
Changelog for v1.5:
- Fix for Omnia II
- Fix to stop TARecordExecution message from coming up
- Some minor fixes for search panel
- More translations: Czech, Spanish, and Dutch
- Maybe other stuff that I forgot
For Developers:
If you submit your panel to Marketplace or want to plug into my app's experience, I have built in plugin capability so that you can show an Add form and an Edit form in the UI.
Just download the app from Marketplace and copy \Program Files\Home Screen Customizer\TitaniumAlloyPlugin.dll to PC to be referenced in your .Net CF project.
Please see the attached zip file for a sample of how to implement an Add form to be shown when user adds a panel to their home screen and an Edit form for when user wants to configure something already on their home screen.
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\TitaniumAlloyPlugins]
"Your Plugin Name"="Your Plugin DLL Path"

Nice job, I'll try it for sure
edit:
Works like a charm, thanks!

Error
I get an Error when running this application says "An unexpected error has occurred in TitaniumAlloy.exe" Any ideas?

If you're not in US, please try the following:
Go to Start->Settings->System->Regional Settings
Change region to "English (United States)"
Reboot
See if you can find it on Marketplace now
Go back to Regional Settings to change back to original value

Somebody emailed and told me there seems to be problems with Imagio. Is that the device you're using?
I'll have to do some investigation to figure out why, maybe go to a store and play with the device or something.

I saw on a forum somebody said those steps might work for non-US markets, but I guess it does not. I'll go figure out the right steps for it to work and report back when I have something.

Love the app. Got it from the Windows Marketplace. I had been using chome editor, but this interface is less complex and user friendly. Not sure if your looking for feedback, but I'll offer some anyway .
I like the contacts panel, but it displays companies rather than person's name as the default. If the company field is empty, then it defaults to name. I think having the name always as the default would be more popular. Just my 2cents. Thanks for the great app.

After changing your location you should reinstall the Marketplace - it worked for me.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I can see why you'd want the name always since these are your favorite contacts and are probably close friends or family.

Thanks! By the way, I updated the first post to include instruction on how to make weather panel work for Non-US cities.
For Melbourne, you'd use "wc:ASXX0075"

just found your app through the marketplace. the weather and contacts tab was the only thing that I missed from touchflo3d, now my home screen looks just like I want to
it works great! I tried showaco's chome editor before with no luck.
the only thing missing (for me) is an opera favorites panel (or just launch opera instead of internet explorer from the favorites panel) and the search panel also opens internet explorer by default, I would like it to open opera.
thanks for your work

I'm also getting the Titaniumalloy.exe bug but I'm using a touchpro2 with mighty rom.

Really a nice app! With the MarketPlaceRegionSwitch it was easy to install on a German device.
Just one Problem so far: The weather plugin shows the temperature in °F. How do I switch to °C? And german texts would also be nice...

To switch it to celsius:
Run Home Screen Customizer
Select "weather"
Press "Edit"
Press "Menu"
Press "Celsius"
Press "Save"
As for translation to other languages, I could use some help Google and Bing's machine translations are not good enough.

Thanks for the info. But wouldn't it be better to place this setting on the page (below the zipcode) instead of "hiding" it in the menu?
Regarding the translation: I can try to help you. Just post the string file(s) here or send it/them to me (the address is on my website).

Marketplace doesn't think this is for Sprint TP2?
On my desktop, it says I've 'bought' Customizer, but it doesn't have it to download on my phone. It doesn't find it when I search for it either. And yes, I'm set for US English, though at one point on desktop it thought I was in Australia?
Thoughts?

Thanks Peter. I agree with you. In general I'd like the UI to be better, but right now the weather panel UI is just what I had time to put together. I have some offers for doing translation, and I still need to put together all the strings being used when I get a chance. Once I have that complete list then I can seek out more help for translation. Thanks!

[APP] (Updated 20100627) Slide2Send 0.9.1 beta

Hi all,
i decided to start a new thread to facilitate Slide2Send 0.5 beta and further versions.
The idea for this application comes from this thread
The program makes use of this wrapper, created by rwt33
Special thanks to Daddy2k for his help with adding a send message in the send items folder.
Issues regarding Slide2Send can be posted here from now on.
Slide2send has the following features
Folder View (Swipe from right to left in inbox view)
New SMS (Swipe from left to right in inbox view)
Slide2Send (in new message view)
Slide2Reply (in detail message view)
Skinning options
Sent sms to unknown contact(s) (my own suggestion to do this)
Sent sms to multiple contacts (contacts will be displayed, you have to click the contact image (or the area where a contact image would be) to select a contact, select it again to deselect)
Mark sms as read after reading
Delete all SMS
Delete SMS
Mark sms as read after deleting
Refresh Inbox after new recieved SMS
Language section added to settings.xml
First letter search in contact screen
About screen
Conversation mode and normal mode ,conversation mode currently works as follows, sms messages are grouped by contact/number and send/recieved time, the last send or recieved message is displayed first. if you select a message it is either opened and the details are displayed or a new list is displayed that shows the conversation history. you can then again select a message and the details will be displayed. a red arrow indicates a send message to a contact and a green arrow indicates a recieved message from a contact. Conversation mode can currently only be turned off by setting the <ConversationView> item to 0 in the settings.xml
It should display in both QVGA,WQVGA and VGA,WVGA.
The latest version is 0.9.1 beta
This version has the following:
speed improvements, initial startup time will probably still feel a bit slow, but overall performance will be much improved. (although scrolling could feel a bit unresponsive on some devices, still working on that )
bugfix: NullPointerException in draft folder
bugfix: sms inbox not correctly displayed when recieving a new sms
bugfix: sms inbox not correctly displayed when sending a new sms
bugfix: sms inbox not correctly displayed when deleting a new sms
more tweaking of the UI
Skinning
If users would like to use their own images in the application, all images in the UI folder can be replaced with your own. The program resizes the images if needed, but for best results please use the same dimensions at the original images.Please also read post #3
Known bugs
The program currently has performance issues, this is work in progress.
Some screenshots
Inbox / Conversation mode / Details / Contacts / New message (Swipe from left to right in inbox view) / Folders (Swipe from right to left in inbox view)

Language settings
The setting.xml contains a language section, that looks like the following. The program uses these entries to display menu text and messages. The properties code and Name are currently not used, because i am not sure what to do with these. For now simply edit the values where you see fit!
<LanguageSettings>
<Language code="1" Name="English">
<About>About</About>
<InboxText>Slid2Send - Inbox</InboxText>

<ChooseNew>Choose message type and contacts</ChooseNew>
<UnknownContact>Unknown contact</UnknownContact>
<FromContact>From contact</FromContact>
<FromMultipleContact>From multiple contacts</FromMultipleContact>
</Language>
</LanguageSettings>
Also feel free to post your language sections, so i can include them in later versions, or for use by others

Color settings and custom images
If users would like to use their own images in the application, all images in the UI folder can be replaced with your own. The program resizes the images if needed, but for best results please use the same dimensions at the original images.
The settings.xml contains a skinning/color section, that looks like the following. All color values have to be HTML hex values (inclusing the # !)
The next version(s) will expand on ,and add to, these settings for a hopefully richer skinning experience.
<ColorSettings>
<ListBackgroundColor>#FFFFFF</ListBackgroundColor>
<ListFontColor>#000000</ListFontColor>
<SelectedItemColor>#0000FF</SelectedItemColor>
<FormColor>#000000</FormColor>
<UnreadColor>#FF0000</UnreadColor>
<SliderLeftColor>#FF0000</SliderLeftColor>
<SliderRightColor>#00FF00</SliderRightColor>
</ColorSettings>

unZIP the archive into a folder on your phone, and then run the executable! As its still in BETA - the author hasn't fully completed the software, and in this case, that means no .CAB!!!

version update
Hi all,
a small update, work is progressing quite smoothly, but i have again made some changes that has made it neccessary to redo the settings logic. I will need a few more days to get things sorted out.
thank you for your patience.

I'm really interested in your application. It would be really nice to implement a custom send provider functionality. In the way that someone can choose if he wants to send from his mobile device directly or a provider on the internet. (I'm currently working on a project to archieve that, so maybe we can work together, which language do you use?)
I saw that you have problems saving messages to the SMS Store. I made a DLL for that purpose. I hope you can use that

thanks for the dll, it works very well! . I am programming the app in C#
for those interested i am calling the dll method like this:
[DllImport("SMSStore.dll")]
private static extern bool createSMSinSentStore (string toNumber, string message, string displayName);

Looks like it will be good, can't wait!

Version 0.5 is here
Hi all,
finally version 0.5 has been released. currently there is no installer and no program icon, this will be added in the next version. This version has also no splashscreen at startup.
if someone would like to make a program icon i would be very interested !
Please see the first three posts for more info

Here is the translation in Greek Language.
There is no translation for menu items: Exit, Delete all and About.
Can we add the nessesary strings for these items, or we must wait for the next version?

Tested it in Touch HD, but the resolution is not correct, everything is very small.

[Released V1.3]Daily Series : Tv shows tracking app

Hello,
The app is composed of 3 main screens:
1 panorama containing
- "my daily" : the incoming episodes. with buttons to mark episodes as acquired / watched. orange is for "aired" blue is for "acquired"
- "manager" : to manage favorite shows / add shows to favorites
- What's new : a random selection of the last updated shows.
Here are a few screen caps :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
White theme
1 other panorama containing the details on a show :
and a page containing details about each episode.
Off course, settings and "about"
it shows the number of episodes aired since the last launch of the app
video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3sh6jF4t6o
This app has been released in french, english and spanish, german should come soon
Data about episodes and shows are available thanks to tvDb.
V1.3 :
- language bug fixed, you can now look for a show in your native language (if supported by tvdb)
- show posters can now be saved to your picture library (they make excellent lock screens)
- diverse other improvements
http://www.dwilin.com/

Hey man, looks pretty good.
One thing that popped out at me: The refresh/sync button in the first set of screen shots. It looks like it will be a bit hard to hit (I've got fat fingers ). For an end users point of view it would probably be better in the application bar (although it may look a bit lonely there).
just my twocents

hello
Thanks for your answer !
it's a good suggestion, we will take care of this tonight
ps: video is (finally) working

youtube tag doesn't work?

Looks good. I really like the fact you get info on every episode of the show. It would be cool if would add reminders and live tile notifications of upcoming episodes. If that was added I'd pay $1.99 and if not $.99.
It is a nice app either way, but it would be a hard sell for more than 2 bucks.

I had one of these types of apps in progress before I just gave up on it due to not really feeling like finishing it. One idea that I wanted to integrate into mine, but never found out if it was possible was something like a calendar sync. You hit the button and bam, it will add it to your calendar to remind you which night a certain show might be premiering or returning to TV.

thanks yor your answers,
for the calendar, we wanted to do so, but no api is available in WP7, the only possibility was for us to access the users gmail account and send reminders in.
But it implied storing personal connection data, and we don't like that.
If new apis are available in new wp7 updates we will probably check it out
for the live tile, I think it will be in a V2

Looking good. Was actually looking for an app like this. I assume it will only show the original airdates in the country of origin? Would it somehow be possible to let the user add a custom day of week, so they can check what shows are on that day?

Hello
We originally wanted to convert airtime to the users timezone, but we don't have the "original timezone' information on tvdb.
For your other question : I didn't really understand what you mean.
(or maybe?) : you would like to see what airs on tuesdays for example?
or for a specific date?

Let's say I've added Big Bang Theory to my watch list. In the UK this show is on a Wednesday, so I'd assign that day to this show. Someone else might be watching the repeat on Fridays, so they pick that day instead.
Then somewhere in the app, I could check what's on each day of the week and if I looked on Wednesday it would list Big Bang Theory and any other shows I've flagged for that day.
It wouldn't have to have to say what episode or anything (no dates or times either), just that the show is on. Like a reminder and personalized TV guide.
I think it would be a great feature considering the fact that most shows air on different days around the world.

Appologies if this is already covered in the app, I didn't see it in the screenshots or video though.
Protip: Please add a notice in the app saying something along the lines of "All data provided by TheTVDB.com" and "if you enjoy our services and can afford it, please show us by donating" linking to our Donate page.
Also be advised there will be an official TheTVDB client in the future, with interactive functionality - i.e. ratings, personalized recommendations and so on. You've done some good work here though. If there are any API calls you feel could be optimized for mobile, do let me know (some have already been re-written specifically for WP7, although they are still in private testing).

Hello,
there is already the "about" section containing informations and links to tvdb. (I contacted Scott about this app)
News :
we added the live tile functionality!
If a new episode airs, the live tile will be updated.

As for price, most might disagree with me.. But I do value the effort developers put towards their apps, and I am not afraid to go as far as $4-5 depending how fast updates and the application works. It's a service to us and an income to you ;-) Hopefully lol.

Hello,
We are currently tweaking the app to make it as fast as it gets and once it's done, it will be sent for validation to microsoft.

The last freezes are gone.
Globalization works well ! (French and English for the moment, we should be able to do Spanish and German)
Thanks for your posts !

Good news. Thanks for the update. Looking forward to this app. Hope it's out soon.

[Q]: How do I remove duplicate contacts from "Phone" app.?

Hi everyone!
I've had my One X for about a month or so and I'm really enjoying my phone! Although there is one thing that really bugs me! When I want to send a SMS to a new contacts, or call a person, every single contact I have shows up. That means both Google, Facebook and SIM contacts. The funny thing is, they only show up in the "Phone" app and the "SMS" app contacts list. If I manually go to "Contacts" app, then only the SIM-contacts show up. I really only want my SIM contacts showing up there.. Is there any way of working out this problem? Here's a picture showing the problem: imgur-dot-com/ZxEGo
Thanks in advance!

You can "manage" contacts at: on your phone, go to People, select Menu (3 dots on top right) and select "Manage contacts". There you will find options for "De-duplicate contacts" & "Merge contacts". Use Merge contacts if you have multiple accounts synced.
Additionally you can go to each contacts and "Edit" and link them to their duplicate entry.
Hope this helps.

That is in the People app, not the Phone app.
Unfortunately there is no way to remove these additional numbers unless you disable contact syncing from within Facebook. It's especially annoying when someone changes there number but doesn't update it in Facebook. You then end up two numbers for one contact and don't know which one is correct

What do you mean by changing it from within facebook? Does this affect my specific problem?

Why not just phone or text from people? You can set it to show whatever contacts you like. Long press whoever you want to phone or text and bobs dad pumped your gran.

[Signatures] ☎ Create your own mobile devices timeline (phones history) - super easy

[Signatures] ☎ Create your own mobile devices timeline (phones history) - super easy
Hi,
A new free web service has been just released - Mowned.com.
You can create your own mobile devices showcase (timeline).
As users creates timelines (eg: add phones and year when they got them), some interesting data will appear (such as: appreciations, devices owned by years, etc - for example check this page).
.. but let's go back to the forum signature. You can create easily signature image that can be used in forums, etc. For an example of a generated signature check mine.
Steps:
Login with Facebook - just click that button, confirm the dialog from Facebook then your account is automatically created
Add your phones - the process is intuitive, you will see once you finish step 1
After you added all your phones click "Activate image signature" from bottom of your dashboard
Copy desired BBcode code generated with the signature image
That's all. You can have your signature in minutes.. in the case you remember all the data .
You may observe that some years in the signature are in gray color instead black. Black means that device is still owned, gray = device gone.
PS: phone years is not mandatory but nice to have (for statistics, as written above)
The service can be acccesed via:
mowned.com - users mobile devices timelines
Available signature formats

Re
thanks i will try it out

Would be great if you didn't need to use Facebook for it to work.

XperienceD, "Login with Twitter" may be implemented soon. It's that ok for you, since Twitter share less information than Facebook?
Thanks

Not really, no. I don't use anything that requires a login from either, especially when it's something I'm only ever going to use the once. Good luck with it though.

^^^ Exactly what he said ^^^ I have no FaceBook account. I have no twitter account. I only have a G+ account because I need a Google account for my Android phone to function fully.
I look forward to the day when FB suddenly goes out of business and all these other companies are screwed - why they can't simply create their own log-in - or even better not require one - I don't understand.

Love the idea but why do you need a login in the first place?
I would remove the need (maybe give the option to) to get more people using it.. what's to stop someone else making a site that does the same but with no login?

Yeap, but in future you get new devices so you need to update current phones list (timeline). If the phone's aren't linked to an user account you cannot edit..

I guess sites uses Login/Connect via Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Facebook because:
1) users that are using those platforms don't have to complete registrations forms.. just a few clicks and voila, you have access to the site. I personally prefer to login with Twitter and if I like a site and have this option I would sign in using this alternative
2) sites programmers don't have to stress with users creating process, eg: captcha, e-mail validation,etc.. Plus they got extra information, especially from Facebook, such as interests, etc (mowned.com doesn't store such information)

Login it's needed because:
- phones are linked to an account
- edit phones list in future (eg: add new device, correct device year from - to, etc)
- user-based phone list helps improve the statistics per phone, for example see this link: http://mowned.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250
- rate phones (for the sake of statistics again)
So.. what's the purpose you may ask? Well, this way we may see most appreciated phones by owners, phones owned by years, most owned phones.. It's true that you need some amount of data to a have a proper view..
I will implement in the next days a solution for login with e-mail and password (so an valid e-mail and password is needed for registration).
Edit:
Has anyone tried this?

Hello,
Now there's the option to sign up with an e-mail.

Seems to work, but I didn't get the timeline signature picture at the end.
Maybe it's because of my username with the underscore => "IT_ler" ?!
Or do I have to wait after creating my timeline before the jpg will be made and provided?
This should be the link for my timeline signature picture:
[url=http://mowned.com/it_ler][img]http://mowned.com/sig/it_ler.jpg[/img][/url]
EDIT:
Now it's fixed and working fine !

It_ler, yeap it was the underscore, the route didn't know about it (only about "-") so an 404 error was triggered. Now it's fixed.
Thank you for the report!

Cool! just don't like the red ad
Thanks a lot anyway!

XxStatiX thanks, now the logo part is tweaked a bit. Indeed it was too bulky and took too much space. + now it can show up to 11 phones instead 10. Do you think it's ok now?

Thank you.. and yes

Used your website.. nice.. can you make it stretchable? I mean to different size option for image..
Just a suggestion to improve.. its nice already.. thank you..
Sent from the MUST have app!

nitubhaskar thank you!
Now the image stretches horizontally (its width) automatically. Eg: if you owned only 3 phones no need to make it 500px long..
Thanks for giving me this idea. So your signature image is 324 x 80 instead 500 x 80.
That's what I could do at the moment. The signatures aren't customizable per user (at least ATM).

Yay its Fixed! Exactly what i wanted,Adding phones now! Wait
Thanksssss!

Wait im checking it here,Nice thanks! will spread the word.Like it!

Glad you like it and thanks for sharing!

Hi,
Now minimal information about most popular mobile phones (from mowned users input) is shown in main page of the site.
I'm thinking to add in near future an option for those who want only to generate signature images without creating an account. This data will not be merged with user phones database, so it will not help/affect the main statistics.
