For those of you who have a psp you may know something about Portals. Offline web pages that give you the feel of using a different operating system. Well I've been working on making portals originally designed for the psp compatible with the KIN and then hosting them on a server due to KIN not being able to load web pages from it's flash storage.
I call the project I am currently working on KINdroid. It is based on the verminedroid PSP portal which is a PITA to work with because of the fact that it was programmed in french.
*UPDATE*
Recent changes include:
Fixed Maps link
Fixed calculator app
Added calendar link
Fixed weather link
Fixed duplicate backgrounds on some pages
Changed IM link to ebuddy

Give it a try yourself by going to http://173.89.0.47 on your KIN
Also try the windows phone 7 portal by going to http://173.89.0.47/win7phone/index.html
Use to have a psp, sold it for 50 bucks, modded xbox controller, and alot of other ****. And i had the same idea. All you need is a universal server with that on file so we can use it. Its not that hard. But hey, send me that vermin droid, i dont have it [email protected]
I saw someone also posted something about this portal on the Facebook page.

That was me. Dezmond Grzenia = dezgrz
this is a pretty cool thing you've got going here. i'm not sure how useful it is right now, but it certainly has some potential.
it doesn't display quite right for me though. the background is tiled and everything is really small. i'd imagine it would be a relatively quick fix.
also i would suggest a back button, as the built in one is inconvenient as hell.
if anybody here knows javascript that might be a better option than html. loading each page is sort of inconvenient (especially on my awful internet).

Just double tap to zoom and it looks alright. Like I said on facebook some things have to be worked out but as a proof of concept it works...
I think making a WinPhone7 portal would suit the Kin's style better.

Like any website, doesnt matter, and it's just html & javascript on the end.
You could do this anytime, but the real problem is always the same. You can't store it locally. If we could do local websites, then a pseudo app could work so well.
But storing it remotely.... not so much improved.

Well, the phone does cache simple sites like google, and I think maybe facebook. I just tested it and it does seem to work with this site as well.
I can fix the duplicate image problem and the language but you have not sent me the files yet. I can aslo fix the invalid links. Send me the files and I'll fix them. Send to [email protected] or [email protected]

Removing the duplicate images is as easy as adding this code of css:
HTML:
background-repeat: no-repeat;
Why do you need him to send you the files. It's a simple webpage. Can't you just save it through your browser?

Yes, it's a portal, but it's still an html file. It doesn't matter if he's hosting it on a local server. Just because you have to enter numbers in to access it, instead of a domain name doesn't make it any difference. It's just like any normal website.
In reality, the web could function without domain names. The thing is that no one wants to remember a string of numbers.

Tyler, you can simply open it with lets say Firebug plugin and make changes and tell him what changes you made. You don't need to have the entire website to do that.

There's version for Chrome. I use chrome. Everything is fast-n-easy.
btw, for the up-and-above topic, i was reading a games site within a public WiFi site and the cache didn't work when exiting the WiFi range and pressing back, even after passing ~10 pages of comments.
i wouldn't rely on that cache. Well i wouldn't rely on ie mobile in general but, ignoring that.....
Wont work on my KIN TWOm
Im curious does this only work over wifi? I always get a timeout error when I try this. By the way Im fairly new here but have an extensive knowledge of programming. I also was able to jailbreak my kin twom.

Also, different roms will need redesign the layout. (Or else, the number will not match!)But it is easy for me to do so! However, I will not publish them in free of charge now. For those who are polite, friendly, sincere and rational guys, I will still extend my helping hand to them and treat them as my friends. Just like in this post of our forum

For those who are childish, silly, rude in manner, I just neglect and treat them merely as "spam".
Finally, I need to say Millions thanks to those who are sincerely support me and even economically support my dailpad design. "You" are really my friends and I am willing to serve you by all means.
It looks great mate!...will give a tray for this dial pad

The problem with registering with any new site is that within 1 week of registering on it (no matter what type of site it is), is that your spam content seems to increase and people then have access to your IP (which leads to trojans, attacks, etc.).
I, like most people, like to keep as much of my information for myself. And, that whole attack thing, it just sucks.
I never got good marks for sharing in grade school.
That being said, I personally am glad that you have shared this with us. At least with the mirrors listed, you know where your file is being distributed. It is not like someone put it on emule and you have no earthly idea where it is.

When you say "All rights" are you talking about the:
The IPHONE brand?
The Artwork including icons?
About the legal stuff:
If you are giving this "software" away for free, under which license is your work protected?
Can we have a copy of such license, if any?

Everything is ok although...

Well, I know I'm rather noob but maybe someone more clever could think it out...
We have many attempts to flash our devices with "white screen effect".
Some of us reports that have bad blocks, but in different areas. Think that mayby this is way with no way out.
Symptom remains the same always. White screen.
Important is that in fact - system works good (eg filesystem, core, etc...). After taping a screen with stylus - we can calibrate it and go on.
Then we have today screen with no background, a telephone pad with no background, media player with no background... In fact it's such annoying that we can't use our system.
We can even use our camera and record a video or take a picture, but we can not see it.
But not always... if we use "full screen" mode - we can see our films... - strange? isn't it?
Maybe system after flash have some "very small" defect concerning missing ability to scaling down bitmaps or something?
Maybe some stupid modification of graphical engine of our phone after flash will result in getting fully healthy system?
Maybe someone wiser will think it out?

I do not expect support unless I pay for it ... hm...
Anyway, did anyone with white screen effect tried to put into "white" phone registry file from "healthy" fresh flashed one?

Fully support xelashiu. The dialpad is a nice job.
Building a dialpad is quite difficult, i fully understand the feeling of xelashiu.
Thanks alot for this dialer I really like it
xelashiu, you are doing an excellent job with these dialpads, and it is completely within your right to restrict others from mirroring your works. However, you must make it clear on your website and/or in your posts what rights are given to people in regard to your works. If it is just a download without any license info, people will usually assume "public domain" which means anyone can do anything with it. I am not saying that people should assume that, nor am I saying that it's a correct assumption. What I am saying is that you should tell people what they can and can't do with your works, otherwise they will assume total freedom.
Please do not let this incident discourage you from making more of your great dialpads.
Recently i was searching for a "usable" Browser for my Hermes.
I was tired of NOT being able to view webpages with flash and no crashes at all.
I googled a lot and visited opera's website with excitement about version 9.5 beta http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/..... until i found out it was officially buggy and cames with no flash and probably "out of Memory" messages because of Hermes Rom.
Then i visited netfront website http://www.access-company.com/products/mobile_solutions/netfrontmobile/browser/index.html, but again.... disappointed.
After 15 minutes looking around i read a name which i wasnt familiar with. SKYFIRE. (Saffari and Firefox deja vu?).
It says that comes with full flash support and a desktop browsing experience in your mobile. Sounds too good to be true i thought.
But it WAS true!!!
Skyfire is everything i've always wanted in my Hermes. Full flash support, Zoom, Bookmarks, Terribly fast.
How to get it.
In Skyfire webpage http://www.skyfire.com/product you have to Sign Up with your USA mobile number and your email address in order to download. (HINT: Enter your real email address and if you are not a USA citizen (like me, i'm from CHILE) enter ANY mobile number, the number you enter here will be your password). In 30 seconds you will receive an email giving you the download link, thats it!!.
Try it, you wont regret.
I think this app should be cooked in future ROMS. Im using ROM 3.62.502.19 (Manila2D) HERMES http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437571 and works like a charm.
download link
thank you for the info but you could post here for those who don't want to submit a false mobile number, right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=123797&stc=1&d=1224625522

So you need that number to sign into skyfire once its installed on your Mobile.
Sounds interesting...the only issue I have with IE is the memory usage of around 12MB. About How much memory does Skyfire use?

you do of course realize that Skyfire is almost as bad as Chrome in terms of tracking.
You don't actually web browse on the phone but via their servers and they send a compressed subset down to the phone plus you are doing it with signed account.
Yeah sure they are free just for the sake of it
At least with Opera 9.5 it's running locally
I am not suggesting you be paranoid but just realize why it's so fast and what the gotchas are with that.

Yep, I am all aware of the technology behind it. You only use it for certain things just like how you use your ROM.
I have skyfire, opera 8.5 and PIE on my phone, ...
why should we be paranoid about such thing? as long as we dont live in one of these countries where internet is all restricted and you could be shot in the head just for saying the word freedom, I think it's a quite good browser for a pda. read newspapers, blogs, facebook... these are good things. however i wouldn't use it for purchases... like putting in credit card details or real private data.
far from being paranoid but it got me wondering how they would make profit.
Skyfire looked sweet as hell, I got it a while back in the first beta and it would devour my fully charged battery in about 30 mins and the phone would get hottt as hell. If they've fixed it I'd be willing to give it a shot again. Are you having any battery issues while running it?

Hi!
I use the skyfire since some days. It is good, only you need to know, it's a beta! there are still so few errors which skyfire gradually be resolved. e.g. breaks with me after about 20 seconds of audio stream (at existing EDGE / 3G connection) from. wifi with no problems.
pages are sometimes not displayed, sometimes can not save favorites. These are just some errors that often occur with me. skyfire in the forum are more described.
Nevertheless, it is a great browser, if only because it is now possible, swf and flv streams to see.
Can you only wish so much fun!

The KIN's browser has javascript... and I've been playing a few javascript games on the phone and they work wonderfully. And it's really nice that you can pin the web pages on the apps screen. Some games require arrow keys that the kin lacks so games like tetris don't work properly. What i'm trying to get at is why don't we try to develop Javascript applications designed for use with this phone? Downside is you have to have a data plan or be on wifi to use the applications. But on the brightside it is a solution to the lack of apps on the phone.
Below are screenshots of some Javascript apps and the app menu.

or we can develope applications that download to the phone and dont require internet?
Personally, two things: no connection needed, saves.
The nvidia part is a monster if used right, and we have a qwerty to map as keys for random emulators (if the OS protection is broken).
And i will use javascript to do some jailbreak or something, like i stated and/or normal website ajax requests....

I see where you're coming from. It's just this phone is so locked down and we haven't been able to get around it... Possibly some time in the future we may. This is just a proposal for one of the possibilities. I also like the idea of jailbreaking through javascript.

as far as i know, KIN's browser doesn't support urls starting with "ftp://" and "file://"
So, i see no way to access files through browser.
JavaScript App Development in Browser
I've experimented with developing hosted applications to run in the web browser (data connection required). Unfortunately, the double-tap delay introduces an irritating latency into the browser's response, making it seem slow. It waits for a second tap for zooming in, then responds to a single tap if the second tap doesn't occur within the wait period.
My experiment was to clone the Calculator application, adding scientific functions below the first step of buttons. When the phone is held horizontally, you have a basic calculator. Turning it vertically reveals the extended functions. Anyway, this latency causes the application's response to lag behind your input.

This is great, thanks for posting up this website. Does anyone know of other places to access these types of games?
The scientific calculator is finished as a proof-of-concept test, but the browser's tap lag makes it difficult to use. If there was a way to eliminate this lag, browser-based apps may be an effective solution.
I know this sounds noob-ish, but if this thing is based on WP7, then we can
a) get the Windows Phone 7 people to help us create a virus/something to crack the system.
b) Use the Chevron WP7 unlocker to hack the KIN. http://www.chevronwp7.com/
c) Connect an external harddrive/USB to this and see if we can get a connection. If we do, we can load up some sort of program like CWM to flash ROMS, edit the system, etc.
I know my ideas might be stupid, but doesn't hurt to try.

i found a game that is cached on the phone so it can be played without a connection... www.iminesweeper.com. it's as the name implies minesweeper, but it's better than nothing

Correct. The phone was originally planned to be the first WP7 product, but due to time and other issues, they used a very customised build of Windows Mobile 6.
The phone will always attempt to cache the last page loaded so that you can access it offline for a while. However, some pages can't be cached.
Just a thought
Before anyone freaks out on me, know that I haven't done any programming in 10 years (so I'm pretty much useless there), but I can do research for things people have done in the past. I stumbled across a method to cache games called "cache manifest". It seems to have been used by iphone/ipad users a lot (not sure why since they have apps). However, I did add a couple of the games I found that use it to my "apps" page on my KIN and while they can't be played (I guess not a compatible Java), I was able to pull it up 10 hours later without WIFI and see the start screen and some counters and drop down menus. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this and can mention if it may help. If this is useless sorry for wasting every bodies time. I'll give a couple example below.

UPDATE: New incremental search on page ("Next" button)!
So, one thing that has annoyed me about Mango are the changes to IE's user interface. I love the new rendering and JavaScript engines, but the UI is a pain. It wasn't enough to hide away the Tabs and Favorites options; they completely removed the "Find on page" and "Forward" menu options.
However, these can be (somewhat) implemented in JavaScript, and stored as Favorites (sometimes called "bookmarklets") that execute the script instead of navigating to a page. This is the approach that was used for iOS 3 and below, for example (which also lacked Find on Page). It also works on the desktop, incidentally.
Together with XDA member @byobge, I set out to create bookmaklets that would reimplement these features on Mango.
Forward was easy. You can simply create a Favorite from any page, change the Name (I use "! Forward" to help it stand out), and set the Web Address box:
Code:
javascript:history.forward()
Find On Page was a lot trickier. For one thing, it's a more complicated action that doesn't have a built-in JS function like Forward. For another thing, IE on WP7 doesn't support the JS prompt() function, for no discernable reason (Mobile Safari does, which is how their version was implemented). To fix this, we created a pseudo-prompt that puts a highlighted bar with a text box and a button at the top of the current web page view. The actual searching and highlighting code was taken from multiple sources through various attempts to make this work, with the final version being borrowed from Jesse Ruderman’s bookmarklet collection on his blog.
UPDATED VERSION: Now adds incremental searching to the page, so it will auto-scroll you between them using a "Next" button!
Just like Forward, create a Favorite on any page, change the name (I used "! Find On Page"), and change the Web Address (Copy/Paste are your friends; make sure you get all of it!):
Code:
javascript:eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return(c<a?'':e(parseInt(c/a)))+((c=c%a)>35?String.fromCharCode(c+29):c.toString(36))};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('(4(){4 e(s){b B.1z(s)}4 8(s){b B.1r(s)}4 12(){5 o=w.1w;b o==F?p.1v:o}4 Y(){5 o=w.1P;b o==F?p.1I:o}4 z(s){s.1J=\'1p\';s.1m=\'1M\';s.1i=12()+\'14\';s.1h=Y()+\'14\'}4 G(){5 2=e(\'2\'),9=e(\'9\');k(F==2){2=8(\'T\');2.r=\'2\';5 s=2.7,l=8(\'v\');z(s);s.1g=\'1e%\';s.y=\'#1f\';9=8(\'v\');9.r=\'9\';9.t=\'1d\';2.f(9);l.t=\'1k\';l.u=\'1o\';l.H=4(){P(9.u)};2.f(l);p.f(2)}10{2.7.O=\'S\';a=0}}4 P(s){e(\'2\').7.O=\'1l\';k(s===\'\')b;5 n=D(B.R,s.x(),s.Z),m=8(\'v\'),d=8(\'T\'),c=8(\'v\');1c(s+": "+a);2.13.18(2);d.r=\'U\';z(d.7);d.7.O=\'S\';m.t=\'16\';m.u=\'1b\';m.H=4(){N()};d.f(m);c.t=\'16\';c.u=\'1j\';c.H=4(){1L.1K()};d.f(c);p.f(d);i=a-1;N();b n}4 N(){5 s=e("J"+i),Q=-V,M=-V;s.7.y="X";++i;i%=a;s=e("J"+i);s.7.y="1G";1H{Q+=s.1q;M+=s.1R}1Q(s=s.1O);w.1N(Q,M);z(e(\'U\').7)}4 D(6,K,L){5 q,A,g,h,17,E;A=0;k(6.11==3){q=6.1u.x().1t(K);k(q>=0){g=8("1s");g.r="J"+a;g.7.y="X";h=6.15(q);17=h.15(L);E=h.1x(1y);g.f(E);h.13.1D(g,h);++a;A=1}}10{k(6.11==1&&6.I&&6.W.x()!="1A"&&6.W.x!="1B"){1C(5 j=0;j<6.I.Z;++j){j=j+D(6.I[j],K,L)}}}b A}5 a=0,i=0;5 w=1E,C=B;5 p=C.R;5 1a=C.19;G();C.1n(\'1F\')})()',62,116,'||pf||function|var|nd|style|dce|qt|ct|return|||gebi|appendChild|sp|mN|cur|ch|if|sb|nx|||db|pos|id||type|value|input||toUpperCase|backgroundColor|PAT|skip|document|doc|sN|mC|null||onclick|childNodes|fsp|te|len|yo||display||xo|body|inline|div|dv|30|tagName|red|PXO|length|else|nodeType|PYO|parentNode|px|splitText|button|eB|removeChild|documentElement|dde|Next|alert|text|100|FFFF00|width|left|top|Cancel|submit|none|zIndex|execCommand|Find|absolute|offsetLeft|createElement|SPAN|indexOf|data|scrollTop|pageYOffset|cloneNode|true|getElementById|SCRIPT|STYLE|for|replaceChild|window|stop|yellow|do|scrollLeft|position|reload|location|99|scrollTo|offsetParent|pageXOffset|while|offsetTop'.split('|')))

Improvements are totally welcome to this! Neither of us write JS professionally (or at least, I haven't in many years), and there are probably improvements that we haven't even thought of. There are also probably other useful bookmarklets that could be created. Go wild!
New script from @Martin7Pro to view the current page source:
Code:
javascript:h=document.documentElement.outerHTML;document.open("text/plain").write(h).close()
Note that this will "navigate forward" to the source view; you can return to the actual page just by hitting Back. If somebody finds a way to get it to open in a new tab, that would be awesome. window.open() doesn't seem to work as expected on WP7.
From @roqstr, a simple bookmarklet to jump to the top of the page:
Code:
javascript:scroll(0,0)
A few things to keep in mind:
Mobile IE doesn't support CSS position:fixed. Thus the shenanigans with figuring out the current view box.
Bookmarklets must be kept below 2048 characters in the mobile browser, thus the compacted form. You could definitley compress it further, though (for example, replace "document.getElementById" with a single-character variable).
Features that would be cool:
A way to find text that crosses an element boundary. This version only finds matches that occur entirely within a single text element.
A way to un-highlight without needing to refresh the page (although, in Mango, the Refresh button *is* sort of right there all the time).
Hope this is useful!
EDIT: Some additional bookmarklets for the phone that may be useful, such as translation and removal of non-mobile-friendly content, can be found here: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/bookmarklets-for-windows-phone/22429/. Thanks @the0ne for the link!
EDIT2: A nice way to get the bookmarklets in an easy-to-copy way is to visit this link on the phone: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/shared_files/Bookmarklets.txt
However, that currently only has the original Find On Page version. Hopefully they'll update with the incremental version soon.
This is awesome stuff. Thanks a lot for your work, I think it will be useful to many of us.
As an alternative, Browser Plus also has the feature to search within a page.
That's awesome! Thanks~
You're welcome! It was fun putting it together.
Alternative browsers can be very cool, but are somewhat crippled by the lack of a way to set them as the default. I think it is actually possible to change the default browser - the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry hive has configurations for the default open action for the HTTP and HTTPS protocol URIs - but nobody that I've seen has done it yet.
I like the idea, because indeed the IE UI is a pain.
As Marvin_S and snickler are working on a new browser maybe they can add some features....

Well I've discovered after half an hour copy and paste are not my friends....in the xda app I can see the full code on one page not a stupid scrolling box. but in the app I can't copy and paste the whole thing.

[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

^^^ 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?
(if you see no changes you have to refresh the page to force a new fresh request - instead it will show from your browser cache)
Okay i'm checking it out! Is it your website?

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

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.
