So Excited To Be Back!

Found an original Focus semi cheap while I'm waiting on the 32GB Galaxy Nexus and the 900 to be released. So I'm moving back here for at least a couple weeks. Last time I was on WP was just when Mango dropped. Looking around YT and our WP app section. I feel like a kid in the candy store. So many users and new apps. Good to be back, I really really enjoy this OS.
Anything cool I should check out? (Vable Browser looks Chrome-ish!)

Depends - what you are looking for? games? navigation? tips?
Play with tellme some. Ask it weather in san fransico. Say start app. Say find "insert address here) and you'll see the map program come up. Say find pizza (or if indoors and no gps find pizza (your city name)
There is so much to play with - you have to give us an idea where you want to go 1st.

Anywhere dude. I'm really missed "Hello everybody I'm George Ponderer for WPcentral." Listened to everything on thier YT channel last night. I just went back into my WP account and cleaned that up. Looking for a decent TBT Nav app. Got a couple browsers listed to try. Put Ziggy on the list. What's cool? What apps do you have on your WP?

I'm an app whore lol.
The best offline TBT would be navigon. It's 3d also and the most expensive. For 2d, turn by turn works good (online one is pretty cheap) Built in bing works great also but doesn't auto voice announce.
Grab an app called AppFlow.
It will show you the trends and has good recommendations.
Freda is good ebook reader
Keyring for keeping shopping barcodes
Urban dictionary is hilarious along with I LOL'D
theChive is good
xda forum app of course
The most used ones that i use for keeping up with WP7 and technology are WP7 News (Which rocks as it scans like 2 sites for news) and Tech news now
If you like four square, 4th and mayor is the best.
...I'm a WP7! rocks
Amazing weather or weather channel are great weather apps.
Forward contact is great to share contacts with via qr code and scanning with bing vision (no bluetooth needed to share a contact)
Titan is a great FREE game.
That is just some i could think of.

If you're into twitter check out Carbon (other thread about it)
The devs are planning a sweet update too.

If you're looking for a beautiful weather app use Weather View (former called Vädret).

Scalado

Another new innovation from Scalado, cannot wait to start using this app....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flNomXIIWr4&feature=player_embedded

I am curious about the quality of the picture.
After removing people would it still be 5mp?

Ooh this looks promising!
I will ask my brother about this, he's actually a developer at Scalado!
*EDIT* He happended to call right after I wrote this, and yes the full resolution will be intact! Scalados' idea is to sell in their applications to companies rather than as separate apps, so hopefully we will see this implemented in phones in the future!
And stay tuned for more info at MWC

Could it be implemented to HTC phones first as in the Ad?

Looks like a fantastic idea. Would definitely get this app even if I hardly take photos. Conceptually it looks sound, but I wonder how far they've actually got with the app as I would assume the video is just a concept they pieced together.

It actually works! Look at the hand-on at engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/14/scalado-remove-clears-up-your-photos-we-go-hands-on-video/
And I don't know if I would call it an app, really, since it propbably won't come as a stand alone app for download.

Chameleon Launcher BETA Overview [VIDEO]

I just wanted to share a video of the Chameleon Launcher. Overall the Launcher is nice but in its Beta form it is limited in wallpaper and widgets. Couple points listed below but watch the video to see in action
Only Chameleon Widgets Allowed (Limited Right Now 5)
No Folder Support
No Apps Shortcuts in the Main Screen
Works in Landscape and Portrait
Home dock selected based on Time of Day, Location, and/or Connected Network
Overall Appealing and Smooth Design
I feel it has great potential
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUI2oPNqBW4&hd=1

I just got an email from the Chameleon team saying that I should be receiving instructions on how to activate my pre-order of the Chameleon launcher this week. It's different from any other launcher that I've seen and I'm really excited to finally be able to load it up on my N7.

Just got my beta invite.
Activated and launched.
So far I like it. It will take some getting used.
Definitely has some great potential.

I personally didn't like it much. Too limited ATM, but it has some great potential.

will wait for the official pack then purchase.

So Far so Good
I got my invite and install today and I can gladly say that I am pleased with it! For a pre-beta I only had it crash once or twice while pushing it through a lot. It has so much potential and is going to get so very great! I would say by mid-September this will be complete and ready for a full release. My only problem with it right now is that it is a little odd having only 6 spots on a 7in device for my widgets (other users, you will understand). But my N7 is rooted and Parandroid is looking good, so with more time and tablet ui really expanding I can't wait to force the app into a larger dpi! That should give us more options!
Cheers,
Vanka

Just installed it and played around with it for a bit. It's too buggy and crashes all the time. And every time it crashes, my widgets mess up so I have to redo them.
Twitter widget only let's you read them or click links in tweets. Can't reply or do anything. Email widget only shows NEW email instead of all email.
I'm sure they'll iron out the kinks.

Same here. I'll give it a shot once I get the the activation email, but I don't expect much since it's in beta. However I hope they frequently update, I'd be happy to see improvements every few days.

as stated above, not much use at the moment, but has potential

Where, exactly, is the potential benefit you guys are seeing beyond already available launchers and modifications?
Just looks to me like they figured out how to get $10 out of people for something they could do for infinitely less and about the same time commitment.

The beta launcher is nice,.. but i dont want to buy 8$ for a beta launcher

Unlike Minecraft, which costs 7 bucks and has been in beta for about a year now, teknision stated the official version of Chameleon will be released in late Sept. So backers and preorders are getting the beta a month early. I have a feeling they are going to charge more once it's officially released.

I kind of view the potential like Google Now. Which learns basic things and aggregates some information that it thinks useful for you, whether it be baseball, directions getting home, or the weather. If they can effectively achieve a user interface that can evolve to your day, and present the information that matters most to you on the homescreen, it could be really neat. Right now it doesn't really show that and is limited.
The other thing that really interested me and they showed in one of their concept demo but it seems was removed (anyone confirm?) that you could have multiple user profiles and have a login screen. Which especially on a tablet that is used by myself and others, I would love to have. The other thing they showed is to stream media from your tablet to your tv, but while this is streaming you can still use your tablet, the streaming is in the background. Again it seems this feature is not going to be included, but perhaps enough friendly :angel: nudges from the community can put them back on track

THe widgets are HTML5. So if you can code HTML, you can make a widget for it when the API is released. People who haven't developed for Android in the past will be able to develop widgets for this without having to know Android code. Plus with the way the app and widgets are designed, you won't have those funky size widgets that don't fill the space, so you end up with the edges of the widgets not matcng up and it doesn't look too good.

You can have multiple screens that the app can automatically switch to depending on various factors. Like you can have a morning screen, ten when you go to work, it can switch to a work screen. There was never multiple "profiles" unless that is what you consider a profile to be.

[BETA] Aluminum Case design for HTC ONE - Looking for couple/few Beta Testers

EDITED for UPDATE:
BETA CLOSED - Thanks to everyone for your interest and comments!
The Badasscase for the HTC ONE has been Released - Picture below!
End of EDIT
Hello XDA Members!
I am looking for a couple people to beta test a PROTOTYPE version of my cases for the HTC ONE.
Interested in people who can provide detailed feedback, enjoy experimenting, and hopefully have some knowledge of building/fabrication/hard core tinkering, etc. - Also, "vision" is a major plus... what I mean is if you are the type of person who sees and old, rusty, beat up classic car... and you immediately visualize the "Showcar" in your mind.
This is limited to the USA for shipping costs (which I will cover) and you absolutely MUST own the HTC ONE.
Social media nuts, bloggers, reviewers, would also be a plus.
I will be posting some pictures of the prototypes on Monday or Tuesday, and am also looking for feedback here on the different designs I have going so far.
If interested, shoot me a PM and please let me know a little bit about yourself! I will probably not reply back until Sunday/Monday, but I will reply to everyone who inquires.
Thanks

YYYYEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH BOI!!!!:laugh::good:

If one was to pay the extra needed to ship to the UK, would you consider shipping it someone in the UK?

definitely interested in this, let me in. Thanks

Might be interested too. Love to see what you have in mind

I'm buying my HTC One tomorrow and I'd be totally down to testing this out.

I'm interested.

I'd wanna test it out, but I'm in Aus. What if I was willing to pay postage ?
Edit: And of course, I do have a HTC One too.

I would like to beta test! I currently have my HTC One

In Florida, ordered my Stealth Black today, definitely interested.
Update : Picked up my Glacier Silver today.

HTC One Beta Tester Application
I would like to participate!

I'm in Florida and I have my HTC One in hand and would love to help you out!!

I have my silver One in hand. I'm in PA. I've also had several aluminum cases for my various other phones, so I might be able to offer you some insight in that regard.

Definitely interested, in California, with a silver One.
Also, if it helps I have a 1983 supra restored + modded (showcar, haha)

Man this is right up my alley as a conceptual design engineer.....shame I'm in the UK.....let me know if you want any drawings thrown together......

Thanks for the overwhelming response!
Hello all,
Thanks for the huge response! I have a ton of PM's to go through and will be doing so throughout the day. I will make some decisions within the next 24-48 hours.
As far as shipping outside the US, there are a few reasons for this. Mainly the time delay involved getting it shipped/received.
From the responses, it seems some of you have not seen any of the cases I have done. I was thinking most would see my signature, but alas that doesn't show up when viewing from a phone (as far as I know). So below is a link to my facebook page (also in my sig) to give you an idea of what the case is going to be like.
In late March I prototyped the HTC ONE from pictures for this first run and have a company that laser cuts these for me. And I have 5 variations of "backs" and 2 "fronts" that I will have tomorrow. It takes a couple weeks to get parts from my vendor, so I have to be quick with my designs!
Since having my ONE, I have made some adjustments to the design, and will be double checking everything tomorrow with the first set of prototype parts. I will be sending off "version 2" later this week for a small production run in order to have product ready and available as quickly as possible for an upcoming trade show.
What I am looking for in testers, is mainly someone who can and will do some of the following.
Testing signals - Network/Wifi/Bluetooth/GPS/NFC etc.
An example, GPS - Let your significant other drive, while you have your ONE in the case and another similar android phone (no case) set to the same destination. During this trip, take notes of both phones if/when they lose GPS lock, how long it takes to reestablish GPS lock. Any differences between the two devices should be noted.
Also, as a control, run the same route, with both phones without a case taking the same notes to compare. With case/without case.
My main concern it signals. I do not want the case to degrade the ability of the phone in any way!
In my current production case for the HTC EVO 4G LTE (Full Back), the only issue is NFC, which is non-functional because of the aluminum back. For this reason I created an "open back" version to have a fully functional device. I prefer to have just one version for the ONE.
I will of course be running a multitude of tests myself, but am looking to compare my experience with a few other users to ensure a perfect product!
Also, I know some of you will be able to provide ideas/feedback that I might not think of. I do not plan to change much in my physical designs, but might do so according the feedback I receive.
Again, thanks for all of the PM's and I will be getting back to everyone within the next day... in the meantime, check the facebook page to see a few of the EVO LTE cases!

[APP][BETA][Android][FREE] BoozeMap, your guide for the cheapest drinks aroud

Hey there.
I've been developing an app that tells users places around them that sell cheap drinks. These places are added by others users, who also tell the kind of drink and prices there. Being so, I need beta testers that, besides the testing, will help me getting an initial database of users/markers.
I have a beta page where you can check some more details, but here are some features developed so far:
- FB and G+ login;
- Set a radius around you
- Filter by drink
- Filter the cheapest place
- Get directions to a place
- Add/Edit/Remove markers, that get associated to your account, so you can login on several devices and still have them
Other features I'm considering:
- Real-time markers (no need for users to move their marker to update the area within their set radius)
I'll probably launch the beta during this month.
Thanks in advance!

if this was my app i would target all the places that sell booze, that way you would get the proper prices as the way you have it now anyone could just say anything and end up making your app useles, a bonus would also be by having all the places that sell the booze update there cheap deals then you could charge them on a month basis like say 5 dollars.

Yeah, I've thinking about that as well, and I think you're right. I'm not sure about charging bar owners, maybe that would kill the app, just wondering.

Do you have something like a "report-button" or a "Up- or Downvote" - function so that places or fake-entries will be deleted automatically? But actually I like the idea

Now it depends on the paradigm (places by users vs owners), but in both cases I think it makes sense to have at least the upvote/downvote. Thanks, let's see how it goes, this approach based on the owners is quite demanding, got to get lots of contacts :good:
