After lots of hours of hard work snickler and I are almost ready to release the first beta of our latest app Metro Browser.
Metro Browser works similar as IE10 Metro Browser on Windows 8, but without tabs implemented yet (full screen browsing, swipe down to reveal address bar).
Some of you might wonder why use this Metro Browser if IE9 Mobile is good enough on its own... Now thats where our browser differs from all the others, IE9 is certainly a good browser but it also has its severe limitations.
IE9 can't play FLV videos and not being able to play FLV videos will rule out the use of most of the popular video websites. Since we don't like to have these limitations on our devices, we designed a browser to handle the FLV video playback of those popular websites.
SUPPORTED VIDEO WEBSITES
- MegaVideo (also MegaP**n)
- Videoweed
- VideoBB
- Videozer
- Movshare
- Novamov
- Sockshare
- Putlocker
- YouTube
- P**nhub
FEATURES
- Tabbed browsing
- Easily share a webpage
- History/Favorites
- Find on page
- Scan page for embedded videos
- View in Desktop Mode
- Search directly from the addressbar
- Advanced built in video playback capabilities (FLV and MP4)
- Auto-hide Addressbar and Applicationbar for full screen browsing experience, swipe down from the top to reveal them.
PM if you would like to have another site supported.
This app allows you to seek trough the video as well, so if the connection drops or you have reached your MegaVideo limit, you can skip forwards and backwards without the need to fully download the video and to watch it from the start.
The video class is optimized for mobile phone usages and will not use your isolated storage, and it is limited to prevent out of memory issues. It provides an excellent quality and is optimized for streaming smoothly, both on 3G and on WiFi. The video's can be played free of charge (but it will consume large amounts of 3G data naturally, so be sure you don't exceed your 3G limit or switch to WiFi).

Open source is out of the question. As a student we will need a tiny bit of ad revenue so we can be able to continue developing of great apps. And we put weeks and weeks of development into this. So please respect our choice, we have good men on board who can improve the app and make it available to all of you. And implement your suggestions.
Instead of giving our knowledge away we would like to improve the app by your input. As beta testing has started we are anxious to hear about your opinion.
Also please dont not post here that we need to contact you, you can only apply for the private beta by sending snickler a pm and you may not share the xap, this is to make sure we can have a controlled beta and can come up with a first release with bugfixes to all of you asap. Without the beta and releasing interferring with each other.
Thank you all for the great amount of interest! We already had some usefull feedback where we can work on.

I'd be willing to try the beta

[APP] LiveCam - Watch the image from your pda's camera in a Web browser

Hello, this is my another release (though you may not remember previous ones).
My little app is called LiveCam and it allows you to watch what your phone's (rear) camera sees. Currently still images are taken every 5 seconds, and you can only see still images in browser but in future I'ma make it able to transfer real-time video! The app is totally uncustomizable for now because I only wanted to make it work. It contains whole lot of bugs. The app consists of 2 parts joined in 1 executable:
- a camera server that takes picture every 5 second
- a small HTTP server that allows you to see the most current image.
App could be possible only thanks to Alex Mogurenko's DirectShow .NET CF
How-to:
- Copy LiveCam.exe and DirectShow.NETCF.DLL to one folder wherever on your device.
- Ensure you have at least 400kB free space on your device root folder.
- Check your device name in Start > Settings > System > About. E.g. mine is HTC52, some may be Pocket_PC or alike. You may change it for more friendly for you or easier to remember if you want but do it now.
- Connect your phone to WiFi or ActiveSync/WMDC. Wait until the connection is established.
- Run LiveCam.exe. Click "Enable Cam" button (don't worry there's still a camera disabled text, if you see picture from your camera then everything's allright). Click "Enable HTTP" button (same here, don't worry of the HTTP disabled text).
- Run your PC's web browser and point to http://your_device_name:1222/
e.g. http://HTC52:1222/ Should be working.
- If you want to use it via data connection you must first activate it, however it won't work if you don't have external IP service.
- If you want to access it from an Internet computer (not in your subnet), please redirect 1222 port on your WiFi router, check your Pocket PC's IP.
Tested only on HTC KAISER. May not work on other devices. Please report.
Note this is a pre-pre-pre-alpha-release and it has maybe 10% of the functionality I want it to have.
Known bugs/limitations:
- Only 240x320 available res (will be fixed)
- Only still images, no video (5 seconds)
- No auto-refresh in web server must refresh manually to see current image (will be fixed easily)
- No customizable HTML page (will be fixed easily)
- No customizable HTTP port (will be fixed easily)
- No way of turning Flashlight (should be fixed)
- May hang up or eat memory as I didn't try it for longer time. Please always use the Give up button to exit app so that resources are believed to be released then.
If you like the app, I will make it really usable in next version but I must know that I don't work just for myself.
.NET CF 2.0 IS REQUIRED!
It works on my Blackstone(Touch HD)
It crashes when you click on init server multiple times and it doesn't show that it's running but you can access it through the browser.
I'd really like to have a webcam app that really works because other software I tried always had bugs or didn't work at all.
wonderful idea.. and it works great! (touch hd as well)
U dont work just for yourself, keep it going bro
Edit: Touch HD - working! Qtek 9100 - not working!
TyTN Stock
Frakken Awesome!
Works on my unbranded stock Kaiser. Keep up the good work!
its great for my htc touch hd .... owesome and it would be bloody owesome if it would be motion i mean video
Awesome!

Works on blackstone wm6.5 via web ^^
but config screen doesn't update to "enabled", even if server and cam are enabled. just says "disabled" but works. keep up your pretty idea. looking forward to new versions.
some feature-wishes:
- option to turn off the display during stream
- password lockable web interface, so you can only watch the camera if you have the password (htaccess)
- auto refresh in browser and choise between photo and video
- autosave video to sd
- option to switch between main and front camera
- portrait/landscape switch
- ... ^^ sry
where do I enter the address ? is it under LAN settings in IE ?
Thanks!
It works on my old Dopod 818 pro
hi, welcome back video should be possible, it is no bug that after clicking 'initialize' nothing changes, the app was written very fast and therefore not fully implemented. But if I happen to find some time, I may make it better. But no promises Thank you very much for feedback, I thought no one except me could find use for this.
This ideal is good if video streaming is included.

[APP] [0.8] [June 26th 2010] TrophyToGo - PSN-Trophy-Viewer

Hi there,
one of the first things when i received my new HD2 was to look for a PSN-Trophy-Viewer. To my surprise i did not find one, so i decided to build my own.
This is a very early version and will as such have bugs and missing features. Also, even though you can specify when to download infos, there will be traffic that may cause additional costs for you - depending on your network plan.
Still, if you would like to test my first Windows Mobile App, i would appreciate feedback and feature-requests.
The app needs CF3.5 and is created with the help of the excellent SenseSDK by eboelzner
Current Features
- Watch your rank and trophy-details (no PSN-password required!)
- Watch trophy-overview per game
- Watch trophy-detail per game (due to trophy-source hiddens are still missing even after achieving them - only in detail-mode, overview works fine)
- add friends and see and compare trophy-stats
- downloading of thumbs for each trophy (0.8)
- recent trophies (0.7.8)
- credit screen for SDK! (0.7.8)
- an icon and startlist entry (not perfect but in 0.8)
Planned Features
- bookmark trophies you want to tackle
Known Bugs
- some trophy names and/detail descriptions may cause the app to crash (please post)
- some games are truncated after apostrophe-signs
- some gamethumbs are not identified (please post those cases)
- sometimes on switching connection type the app may crash
===========================================
EDIT: June 2nd 2010 - 0.7.4
- fixes several crashes - at least improves stability
- autodownloads avatars if image was not available when adding friend
- several more games are shown (ACII, RDR, FIFA10, +) [NOTE: If you have already downloaded the game info and have broken data, go to settings and enable 'always download game info' under temporary settings. This will force the app to refetch the gamedata - please post games that are still broken]
- thanks to sergio76 the app should now have a shortcut (it appears under 'Applications' for now - will be fixed in the next release)
EDIT: June 26th 2010 - 0.8
- fixes several smaller bugs
- downloading of trophy thumbs is now possible
- again more games fixed
If you feel like donating, here's the button. Of course it is not required. This is a free app!

Thanks Nice Idea Here is a cab that installs With the Icon a made for you if you like it use it and a shortcut on startmenu/Applications.
EDIT: UPDATED THE CAB NOW INSTALLS WITH THE ICON.
Nice! I have been looking for something like this for ages! Good luck with your development
Thanks alot for this app, its a really awesome one, I have also been looking for an app to see my trophies myself, but was never really able to make an app...So thanks, would like to see the bugs get fixed btw (alrdy had a crash trying to see my AC2 trophies)
Great App!!!
PS3 all the way great app and will be posting any bugs.

Dude, where is you donation button this is soooo F-ing handy no more slow XMB to view your T-phies.
This seems to be very cool but I can't seem to get it working. I'm on Chucky's GTX (WM 6.5.x ROM). The app quits after a few seconds and it says that I Need NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab.
Where do I get that? Isn't it the same thing as the NETCF v35?
The program doesn't create a shortcut nor does it have an icon? Any fix for this?
Thanks a lot.
finally an app for PS3 Trophies on Windows Mobile.
got paypal ?
BTW any warhawk / RDD players in here ?
Hey guys, I'm glad you like it. There will be an update tomorrow. Hopefully with Icon/Shortcut for good.
So far you can use Sergios Mod - that is the same like my app but with icon.
As far as this 3.5 Message is concerned, all you would gain from installing it is a better error-message - so don't. The update will fix a couple of crashs and a few games that had issues with information display.
I will also add a donate-button to the first post later. Of course, ypu don't have to donate.
Great app! ..though upon installing this app on my HD2 i get no program shortcut. where am I supposed to launch it from?
As i wrote in the first post, there is no shortcut yet. Download Sergios Mod, which adds a shortcut. I hope to have mine in in tomorrows version.
does ur app work for the TP2? i downloaded ur app but when i go into it whats shown is just a sample.....
SAMPLE is the predefined PSN-User. Just go to settings and set the PSN-ID to your ID and it should download your data.
Hi guys, I know i promised an update for today but currently i am having weird connection problems, so i will delay the update to tomorrow.
Right now, more games show without error. No game should ever crash the app but throw an error in the worst case. Some other crash-issues have been fixed and in the case that avatars could not be loaded on the first try, the app will try again later...
looking good!!
I am assuming the app is not able to download all of your friends because it does not sign into the playstation network?
If you would like I will post a link to this thread on my playstation id app on facebook... currently I have 20,000 users and growing!
(http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=203720519608)
Unfortunately I will be getting the htc evo friday so I will not be able to play around with this app after then.
You are right, the app does not sign into the PSN. I really did not want to have anyone use his PSN-password, since most of us have credit card info in there and even though i would of course not misuse your data, putting your password anywhere else but into the PSN always feels risky. So it will not automatically fetch your friends. You can however add them manually.
Feel free to post about the app on facebook.
The new version works well for me and will definately be posted today.
will do! thanks!!
are you going to get on the android side of things?!
it would be cool to see if your friends were online or if they are playing a game!!
I struggle with these scenario's with my app on facebook. I wish playstation would code their site differently!
keep up the good work
Unfortunately i have no Android-device so i can't build an app for it.
I would definately love to show the Online-Status and the Comment of everyone, but since SONY does not have an API it is really difficult to get any data anyway.
New version is out. Please check the first post for the download.
Enjoying new release.
Thanks

PSA barcode reader
Whe've developed the first barcode reader app for Windows Phone 7. Since version 1.3 we've got a significant better barcode detection and product serach. At the moment there is no way to access the video camera, but I think we've found a good alternative solution.
At the moment the app can only detect EAN13/UPC barcodes, EAN8 will come in one of the next versions.
Games games games
Update - version 1.3 is out. Enjoy!
I've published a Tetris (TM) clone on the marketplace right now, which is getting very good reviews, especially considering there is an official Tetris (TM) game from EA out there.
The name is Tetrada and more info is available here:
http://www.appsfuze.com/games/windowsphone.puzzleandtrivia/tetrada,2947
http://www.karios.gr/?p=109 (this also includes a very nice video of gameplay)
Version 1.3, which is a big improvement, is pending acceptance right now, so v1.2 is the current one.
There is a trial version available that allows you to play a single level at a time, with no time limits.
My second game is almost complete, but I will post more about it when info is available.
My First App: Math Flash Card
http://www.appsfuze.com/games/windowsphone.puzzleandtrivia/math-flash-card,2967
This is an app for your K-5 kids to work on their math skills, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. You can select the number range to work with, and which operations to use. It keeps your score/grade overall and for each area.
I have an update in the works that gives you finer control over the # ranges.
I don't have too many rating, but have sold about 30 copies in a month.

Beat Drop
Think this thread is a great idea to get feedback on apps from the community directly .
I created Beat Drop a month ago and is meant to fill my want of hypem for the phone.
Beat Drop is a music blog aggregator that allows you to follow popular music blogs and stream their music straight from your phone.
It's free 99 so download it and let me know what you think!
http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=8dcb4dac-bbf7-df11-9264-00237de2db9e
and yes, I would love to add the functionality to have users add blogs. But with blogs not having a standard way of hosting music, I've opted for somewhat of the Hypem approach of having set blogs that are validated/tested to work w/ my app.
I wrote a game where you touch a highlighted square 20 times as quickly
as you can & each time you pressed it, more squares would appear,
plus they would move & change size. Then I decided I could do slightly
better & expanded it to have 5 levels & to keep record of your fastest times.
I called it TouchMeQuick, its free & its now had over 25,400 downloads.
Its completely blown my mind how many people have downloaded it.
The last app I made available to the masses was for windows mobile & I
remember being over the moon when I hit 300 downloads, so this really
has been quite epic for me.

[App] Kickstarter Browser

Hello fellow windows developer.
I guess I'm not a frequent poster but I need your help!
I need your feedback on my latest Windows 8 app: Kickstarter Browser. The thing is, I just got it release just to have a initial release but I need feedback on it. It's easy to feel satisfied with your app because you are familiar with it. I do have a general idea where I want to go with the app (adding twitter share, add favorites) but as far as GUI I'm not really sure. So any critic is welcome to just post here, perhaps even screenshots if there is anything specific you want to point out. If you have good things to say you can also review it windows 8 store. (Please do not post reviews/low stars saying it's bad, remember this is just my first release and I will improve it over the coming months using your feedback and then you can give a proper review ) If you give me feedback which I'll use to improve the app I will, if you want, add you to a thank you list in the App description.
As far as adding, login/pledging from the apps etc. there are no official Kickstarter API and the API I'm using is Very restricted.
Anyway, please give me feedback and I will be very thankful.

hmm, well I tried to install your app but the MS store is insisting that I am not connected to the internet, it worked fine 2 days ago on the same connection and I am clearly on the internet right now. I'll have to takes its suggestion of trying again later.
Picture looks alright but I cant see myself using the app if I'm honest, I just dont browse kickstarter. If I can get it to download I will pop back with something more useful to you

Thank you for trying and thank you for giving me you 2 cents on the screenshot, hopefully you will be able to download it soon. I am at hard work to bring another release of this app within two-three weeks, but I do hope some more people would give me their opinions.
Update
I've made an update for this app. Though I have not received a single piece of feedback.
This time I bring the ability to see videos in the app and to search through descriptions of projects to find specific words (This is something the normal kickstarter.com website cannot do). I also updated to GUI to look much better and fixed bugs, you can find the app update here:
Please download, try it and give me some feedback.
Thanks.
Nice! Just gonna give some friendly feedback here: first, it would be nice to have the spotlight words in the top-left clickable, so I could select technology or whatever. Second, the tiles for each result could use a little more modern. By this I mean separate each tile a little, get rid of the rounded effect, and maybe make the background for each tile the project picture. Other than that, maybe some more background colors on the app would help. But really, nice work!
Thanks

Wow, thank you. It was very observant of you to notice the kind of "Rounded effect". I have taken your advises into consideration for my next release. I will be releasing a Halloween update within the next few days and will post here when it is certified and live. Thank you SO MUCH. You are the first to give me some suggestions, and I've asked for help on quite a few forums.
The next update will have many new features I hope you all will enjoy.
Update!
Well, you could say I really buckled up last night and started my code, because here is the halloween update!
I focused on customization and user experience this time. The change log follows:
-Changes in version 1.2.0-
Big GUI update
Multitask support added (view video while using other apps)
Added tool tips
Added FAQ to project description
Significantly improved search times when searching through descriptions (by 20 percent)
Search now list projects as they are found (not when search is done)
Added settings for spotlight
- It's now possible to add/remove and enable/disable individual spotlight categories (found under settings)
Added the possibility to to favorite projects
Added favorite page (accessed by swiping down from top or right click the top of the screen)
Removed crash bug when no internet connection
Anyway I hope you all will download it and try it (and tell me what you think). I will be taking a one week break from coding Kickstarter Browser to recharge my batteries and get inspired to do some more work.
Update
I hate how it feels like I'm spamming/bumping my own thread but I just want to keep you guys updated and hopefully get more feedback from you guys!
So I've just got the post-Halloween update certified. Change log:
Revamped start screen
Added playback controls (Play, stop, mute, video time bar)
Added video full screen playback
Added sorting projects in search
Added backgrounds
Added browsing categories in search screen/start screen
Squashed bugs
So this is the first update based on feedback from users and feedback I've asked for from various forums. One point of feedback was really important. The user felt that when you first start the app you are welcomed with a screen with a huge gap in the middle. So I made the middle part dedicated for browsing through categories and all the searching should be done through the search screen. Another user told me that the app doesn't bring anything new to the table in terms of searching and finding, so I added more search options. The third big feedback I got was that the app was boring, colorless and not nice to look at, so I reworked the layouts and made it possible for the user to change background color/add background image. The last feedback I did take into consideration for this update was that the search screen was a bit confusing and that the video playback lacked features, so I rearranged the search screen a bit and added video playback features (it now has play, stop, mute, full screen and a timeline)
So you see, I use the feedback I get to make the app better, please keep it coming and I will possibly implement it.
Thanks
Live tile update
I guess you all know what this post mean by now.
I've just release update 1.2.5. Inspired by another app this update brings the ability to create live tiles of projects to have them on the system's start menu screen and keep track of projects. Change log:
Added more backgrounds
Added ability to create live tiles of projects
Added all subcategories to browsing
Refined browsing
Fixed bugs
Added Help/FAQ to top appbar
Moved settings to top appbar
Thanks
