Hey guys,
I'm a Windows Phone dev who's thinking of maybe starting an open source WP7 project, if I can find a few other people who'd be interested and if anyone has an idea for an application which people would want?
Drop a response here if you're interested
I would but I just started learning programming,. But I would be a tester fir sure.

Windows Phone needs a good podcast app.
I'd love an app to rival DoggCatcher on Android. It would allows you to subscribe to feeds, download episodes, and listen to them, all within the app.
I plan on working on this if/when I get my Windows Phone device.
yeah would love to see a decent podcast app that can download podcast rather than just stream.
Podcast apps on marketplace is great but with 1Gb limit on data cant do alot of streaming
GPS application with offline map
I would be interested in working on this. And by the way, SlapDash Podcasts lets you download/subscribe/stream podcasts, I don't know why it's less popular than the other ones in the Marketplace.
I will be a beta tester if you want.. I know a little about programming but not so confident..

I am willing to help you if I can. just let me know.
shinaku,
Are you a seasoned developer, or just starting to learn?
I was thinking of a simple application that could prove to be a bit challenging to implement. Specifically I am thinking of a remote touch pad application. You will connect this app (client) to a computer, which has a service installed. The app will send mouse commands like move, click, etc to the service, which in turn will control the mouse cursor on the computer.
What do you think about this?
I would love to see a Gameboy Advance emulator. I have no skill at programming, but I can help with the graphics (already have some layouts created from my work on the Zune HD gameboy emulator).
I will volunteer my device for testing if you need. Unfortunately I don't have the time to co-op a open source project. Best of luck though.

Spotify is set to launch a new toolkit this week, opening up its application programming interface (API) in order to encourage developers to build the service into a range of comms and entertainment devices such as mobiles, consoles and TVs.
Someone who arises?
This woud be AWSOME!
Please, anybody?!
Would love spotify in my mobile!
That would be a fantastic app for the Touch HD. If you check their homepage, they have been advertising for developers with Windows Mobile experience, presumably for exactly this reason.
I can't imagine iPhone users will ever see Spotify - it would kill sales through iTunes!
According to Swedish IDG they will focus on iPhone and phones based on Symbian. So I think it will take some time before we see this for the Windows Mobile platform. And it will also be premium service, which will cost a few bucks.
This is the article translated into English with Google Translate:

please somebody develop this
PLEASE - Spotify is one of the best things i've seen in AGES - if someone could make this - I WOULD PAY MONIES!
I'm pretty sure Spotify won't allow any 3rd party applications to connect to their service. At least not if you don't have a premium account.
yep, premium customers are able to connect to spotify with unofficial clients.
I've created a survey for peeps to fill out, I'll then forward it onto the guys at Spotify for them to see the results. Hopefully there is enough interest to persuade them to develop one!!

I have been working on a Windows Mobile Spotify client called mySpot.
The first alpha version is complete and I have uploaded it to the forum today.

If we can have ubuntu on our phones (we can I have it setup) How cum it isnt next to top priority to refine and improve it
Look at the potential to have a linux operating system with all of the cool things you could do, in conjunction with our phones.
If 1 or 2 of you smart people could look into it maybe you could pic up some beers or cokes or watever.
You could install darwin streaming server stream video,music from your phone
Games: (personally i wish i could get echess to work so i can play against computer. however You can use it to play online against humans its cool
Firefox: works
Networking: wish i could get samba to work I tried to get Hamachi to work, almost
Im sure the possibilities are endless.
Please you smart programmers out there, help us
Thread moved to Q&A.
I for one would like to see one of this on the WP7 platform. What are your thoughts?
I hate to say it, but I don't think we will ever see any emulation programs on WP7 until we are allowed to side load data. I doubt Zune would allow loading of roms therefore the program would be useless. This is also assuming Microsoft lets these programs on the market. The emulation/rom market is mostly piracy and Microsoft likely wants no part of that.
I'd love to have a good snes emulator but i just can't see it happening.
if it does itll only be for unlocked devices....
It's definitely possible. Silverlight is powerful enought to emulate code (see here for example). However, the version of silverlight / XNA currently built into WP7 may not be up to the task just yet. But full silverlight support is due to be integrated in upcoming updates.
EDIT: SNES Silverlight Emulator too
Legally speaking though there's little or no chance that an emulator would be allowed on the marketplace. Although MS are open enough with their Marketplace (eg allowing a Kamasutra app and many uTorrent remote clients), emulators need roms and roms are usually copyrighted.
What we will see eventually are emulators that can be sideloaded using Chevron or similar tools, or possibly via a future alternative Marketplace like Cydia. The roms themselves, due to isolated storage in WP7, will need to be loaded from your PC using a Zune Desktop-style tool, or alternatively downloaded from the emulator app itself (eg from a private webserver over Wifi).
It's all definitely possible, there are just a few steps to go first

i would love to have sega alongside my nes on wp7 !!!
Oh MAN I hope so.
Shadowrun on on my phone would be beyond incredible.
not going to happen as long as MS tries to pretend to be "moral" about copyright infringement...
I don't mean to necro this thread, but I figured it'd be better than creating a new one.
I've seen NES and Gameboy emulators around, but I've still got my fingers crossed for Master System, Game Gear and (dare I dream?) Genesis/Mega Drive.
I just hope that someone out there is thinking about making these. I, for one, would be eternally grateful.
I am not the dev but there is a free GrooveShark client out in the MarketPlace so I thought it should get more exposure.
It's very functional and just needs a tiny bit more polish. The sound quality is great even through 3G.
MOD EDIT: Please post app recommendations in WP7 General, as the Apps and Games section is for app release's only as stated in the sticky I made.
THanks man. Been waiting for a GrooveShark client.
Awesome. Seems to work great over 3G though it needs a better way of adding multiple search results to playlists/queue.
Nice. And free !
The interface just needs to be more polished indeed.
Interesting. Too bad Grooveshark isn't going to support WP7. They are open to the idea so with enough support you never know. Keep bugging them via forums and twitter.
Where I can I download MusicShark.xap? I am aware that is not longer in the marketplace available

I think I might have it at home. Pity I restored my phone to NoDo not realising I couldn't unlock it again.
bah, I hope GS isnt deliberately flagging these clients if they dont plan to produce their own. Methinks they made a deal with a competitor :/
Here's the xap
I installed the xap file on my windows phone (E900 7.10.7720.68), but it didn't work. Loading failed with a message, "An error was presented, you have internet conectivity?"
So, I decompile the xap and found out, the server to get the grooveshark data from grooveshark's server is no longer working.
Can anyone use this app?
For people who really love music,
I would recommend the "The Hype" app for WP7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145616
It gives access to all the Hype Machine catalog. Hypem.com is a great & free music blog aggregator.
You can make a search, select the songs you like, make a playlist (which will also be available on your PC).
for instance... Here's my playlist (indie, The Smiths, Mountain Goats, Josh Rouse, New Order, Wedding Presents, Balmhorea, etc...): http://hypem.com/#!/eric_sc2
Hey Guys,
I know this is a little weird to post on XDA, but figured it was still worth it. I know we have the flash web hack (thanks Prax) for getting Spotify running, but it would be nice to get a native app added. Spotify seems to use an online "voting" system in their member forums to determine where to spend dev resources. With that in mind, Spotify users, if you head over to this link:
http://community.spotify.com/t5/ideas/v2/ideapage/blog-id/ideaexchange/article-id/11293
and add a "kudos" to this post we can all help raise their awareness of the need for an RT client. I didn't create this post in the community, just figured I'd bring awareness to it over here.
Looks like Spotify will not release an app for Windows RT and Windows 8 according to this answer I had from support
Dear sir,
It is not up to Spotify to develop programmes for other operating systems. The problem here lies solely with Windows and their refusal to make an app for Spotify.
The same is reflected with their OS on phones, it took them a while to make a Spotify app, by which time many users had left us.
Though there is small scale success with users downloading the WindowsPhone app for WiNRT, I would not get your hopes up.
Try it here : http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/store/app/spotify/10f2995d-1f82-4203-b7fa-46ddbd07a6e6 but know that is it not made nor designed by Spotify.
If it does work, I hope you will stay on board. Of it refuses to work even then, do have a look on the market for a good alternative.
Sorry about all this,

I ditched Spotify and started with XBox music. I'm very angry that a respected (not anymore) company uses these arguments. I'll hope they get bankrupted for this kind of arrogance .

They are bull****ting you. It is *solely* in the hands of spotify to develop the app for their system, its only because of their reluctance to do so that microsoft eventually did one on the phone. Also windows phone apps are entirely incompatible with Windows RT, they are only compatible with windows 8 if you have the windows phone SDK and the windows phone emulator but you need the source code to the app to use the emulator and its damn slow.
We are lucky users.
Spotify isn't able to create an app, but there is one of our forummembers who did an awsome job creating an app for us
