Can anyone make a homebrew version of the 3G data usage? As in how much I use and warnings when it go over the limit. I know this is not possible on the marketplace, so can developers make this??

That would be a very cool thing. +1
As far as I know is that not possible at this time!
and you know this how? you do not look like recognized develop but i am not denying that you arent, just i have never heard of you.
It would be good if we can get some developers to work on this idea... This kind of app is available on iPhone and android....feels inferior if we can't even reach this function

no i'm not a developer right now, but i read a lot and long time in this forum.. often is this question ask, therefore i know it.
the windowphone7 has public API limitations. so developers in this forum can't create that kind of app, only cell-providers. at&t (provider) has create a app for data usage counter. but i don't know, whether other cell provider has apps like this.
maybe it is possible in future..
The current windows phone SDK does not offer the ability to know anything about data usage. It can tell devs if your connected to a mobile network and that's about it ... one could write an app to know when the phone is on a mobile network and then have a background task that listens for any network traffic being used. However, listening to the traffic would probably need to be a homebrew hack to get that info and it would be quite a bit of work to accomplish this correctly.
I have heard that win phone 8 will have this built in and much more for easier data tracking and laerting the user.
Windows Phone 8 will have this built in ... but for now you should use your carrier's app if they have one

I'm sure there are millions of developers other devs haven't heard of.

has a feature like this??
would love to get it
thanks...
not really, altought there is something i found, a automatic searcher for not secure wifi points..
search for "penetrate" on the market...
Sorry, but if I was to find out someone was hacking into my secured network, there would be some serious ass kicking going on.
Additionally, this is considered illegal... unless using it solely for the purpose of testing the security of your own network

"wardrive"
There is this app "wardrive", of course it only preforms wardrive operations but it does it very nicely!
I have looked at some forums for apps for WEP-cracking, injecting and similar actions for Android, but there don't seem to exist at the moment.
People talked about booting a Debian/Slackware/Backtrack distro, and I for one would love backtrack tools like aircrack-ng etc on our devices.
But all in do time, I think it will appear when the platform is more mature. Until then, we can map with the wardrive app and use our lappies for the more serious stuff. For fun, here in Sweden these kinds of apps is not illegal
Hey!
So I want to buy the HTC Mozart, but I am not quite sure, because if there is no good community it wont be worth the money. So does anyone know if somebody is working on a root or jailbreak for wp7?
It would make the platform even greater
Thanks in advance!
People are working on it. I'd be surprised if there isn't a jailbreak available in 3 months after it is released.
Ok thanks I am just interested as the beta was already available and the roms have leaked in the htc Mozart category.
To general!

the windows mobile community is the reason this message board exists. I wouldn't worry.

Also, XDA calls "root or jailbreak" for WM "HardSPL"

"HardSPL" is a bootloader that allows custom Windows ROMs - like flashing to BIOS in your PC to a 3rd party version
Windows doesn't have the concept of a "root or jailbreak" because there is no root account or Jail Shell.

WM (Windows Mobile) is not equivalent to WP or (Windows Phone) Windows Mobile is the past, Windows Phone is Microsoft moving forward. I think they might actually have something with this new OS
Mhh interesting Thanks!
I tested the OS and it feels great, like my iphone 2g at first and after JB i noticed that it is crap without JB XD so just wondering ^^

I don't see much of a point in jailbreaking, because there's absolutely squat in regards to API documentation of Iris UIX. No one will be able to write up alternates to the system components.
The only thing that'll make sense right now is unbrand phones, to get carriers out of the loop in regards of updates.
Some of these people think wp7 is ios with a new skin. Let them keep asking about this, Lol.

@Tom Servo
I am not sure but isnt it running on a silverlight platform so it would be rather easy to develop different apps?
A large part of the base system, especially UI, is .NET code but uses a different framework called Iris UIX. It's a descendant of the MCE graphics framework, and also used in the Zune desktop software.
Third party applications are forced to use Silverlight instead.
That's also why there's a disconnect between UI features and performance between the first party and third party apps.

Oh ok thanks!
Now thats kinda stupid from them.....
A long time ago, they hired more developers to work on UIX. Seems like they were more occupied porting it to mobile devices than documenting it and prepping it for general release, or something.
I still hope that it'll be made public at some point in time. It seems to be a way better solution than WPF, judging both the phones and the Zune software, even tho the majority of it is still .NET. Maybe a little less flexible, tho. Seems like some teams over at Microsoft went like "**** it, this is overengineered slow crap" and continued to work on MCML, which turned into UIX.
WPF was on the table long before the flashy Zune client ever came to be, which is also mostly .NET. That tells you something.

How about enabling PInvoke, getting the same access to native WinCE APIs OEMs have? Getting access to filesystem, sideloading, tethering, you name it.

Thanks a lot! I just saw the app you created looks interessting
Is it in the market yet?
So as you develop such apps i have to ask you:
Do you think the problems you mentioned can be overcome like MS says.
Like in one or two months?
Or would you say that the market will not evolve as much as apple and android?

Microsoft doesnt allow native code for 3rd parties, amd pretty much said they'll keep it that way. I doubt WP7 will support unsafe code for 3rd parties. It's too obvious a workaround...

seeing as we have jailbroken windows phone 7 with chevron i was wondering why there has been no development towards a cydia like packaging app. surely thats what windows phone 7 needs to bundle homebrew apps and tweaks. i havnt seen many homebrew apps or tweaks at all yet and i was thinking if there was an app like cydia then it would be much easier for other developers and users. windows phone 7 needs to be very easy for the user and this would be good with a cydia app.
let me know whats happening with this

Check the app and games or the development threads in xda... you will just have to look and sideload yourself. I posted some xap's like some others... your mostly a bit ahead of the marketplace or will get some stuff which will not enter the marketplace
alright well thanks but is there any development going into custom theming and other tweaks that there are for iphones like categoreis from cyda etc.
just give it time for full customization xaps
Like everyone else has already stated , READ THE FORUM , theres unlimited information in here ,all for your taking , but you have to search for it ,its not that hard!
So...I've owned my HTC Titan for about a month now, and overall I love it. But we all know that some of the apps that exist on the 'other' OS's, don't exist on Windows Phone.
Heres the idea:
How about an app, that acts as a petition..... It could be designed to simply email the top 20 or so app developers that have popular apps on iPhone and Android, requesting their apps be ported to Windows Phone....
Just an idea I had....and I felt like this was the best place to vent it.

+1 as long as it's not considered spamming!
+1
but, It is not a spaming App if you describe what the app does. ? So each user knows what the app will do.
PS. I would definetly use/install this app.
i would use it
My Vote too +1
It's bad idea. If you are thinking, the developers don't know about WP7, you are mistaken. Second one: most top apps written not by individual developers but companies; only you can get a company's general contact email or tech support email. So you can't really spam the devs (and it's perfectly fine! LOL )
Yeah, that's a double edged sword. It would get ideas out there, but I can just imagine the flooded inboxes.
How to identify if the smart phone connected to the PC runs Android. I want to identify this information from an application running in PC (say Windows PC), without enabling USB debugger in mobile.
I tried to figure out using the IMEI number, but could not find.
Is there any API or smarter way available that uniquely identify if the connected device runs Android? Like verifying the folder structures or something? Does the device drivers contain the OS information which I can use? How the PC-Suites like "MOBILedit!" identifies it?
Also, how www[dot]imei[dot]info gives me the operating system of my mobile just by IMEI number?
Looking all these makes me to believe that there is some way for this , please help.
nice

Interesting question dude. I'm not sure if this will help but its what I've got. If you use Tor, the free proxy, they give you a way to check your anonymity by going to ip-check.info. and if you do a full test it shows a bunch of unique device id's and stuff for your IP, but it also tells what device, os, build number, and even which browser your using. Now I know this is all over the internet and for a different purpose than what youre looking for but if they can figure out what device I'm using over a browser, I think you can accomplish what you want here. Check it out and maybe it'll inspire some ideas. And keep us posted!

Well, when it goes through internet, there is a way. The User-Agent string that is passed during request will have all the info like OS, browser version etc.. I am more looking at the specific scenario of mine.
