NovoTalk - a free Google Chat client

Hi,
I have written an application for QVGA devices (240x320). I felt the lack of a genuine google chat application that was free of charge.
History
v0.1 Beta
Text messages
Avatars
Finger Touch/Scroll Friend List
Marquee for long status messages
New email notification
Tab based Chatting
Notification on new Message (sound + vibrate)
Detect Invisible Users
Friend list sorted just like Windows client (Gtalk) on basis of availabilty and name.
Cool GUI
Notes
NovoTalk is written in C#, so .Net CF 3.5 will be required.
Might not work properly on smartphones.
Tested by me on WM 5,6,6.1 and on HTC Touch with WM 6.5

As of now, I am giving out the cab installer to a selected few beta testers. Once the initial testing is done, I will attach the RC cab file here. There are plans that this application might be open-sourced at a later stage.
Please help me in testing this application.
If you are interested to be a beta tester, please add your request here :

not bad but what better than nimbuzz or talkonaut?

Nimbuzz requires registration to its own service( which I refer to as third party registration). Talkaunaut is good, but again it adds gtalk2voip bot to your contacts without approval and call features does not work many times. IMHO these according to me are the only good free options, but not clean as the Gtalk Windows client.

a free client is always welcome. any chance it will support other chat platforms ?

Oh yes, the future versions will definitely support other platforms. But my first target is to make it compatible with smartphones.

I am in for beta testing.

It looks good, I going to testing

damn man! you should make yahoo messenger like this...cool app..thanks...

jockeylol & AxlR,
Please PM me your contact info, so that I can send you the .cab file.
chelsea_fc
Thanks! I just want this encouragement to make this application better and more stable. Yahoo Messenger! You read my mind, actually I will be working on it when NovoTalk has a stable version released.
I have sent you .cab file for test purposes.
PS : A call to designers to give some ideas, as I am planning to introduce themes in NovoTalk.

This looks so sweet! Will it also support WVGA in the future?

@jockeylol
I have sent the .cab file to you
yeah, the next release will have support for all resolution, and hopefully for landscape modes too.

nice! Brazil and India will be happy with a Orkut compatible app
we rulz there!

@boto
That's a nice idea. If you meant to say orkut scrap notifications should be done, I tried looking up for that feature, but google has no documentation on it as of now(or at least I could not find one).I don't promise this feature, but I will try to include it in the next release
Thanks for the suggestion!

Wow this looks like a great app, I'm in for beta testing if needed.

@trinest
Yup, you are in [Check your mailbox]
EDIT : It seems Hotmail and other accounts on Live services reject mails from my domain, not sure why though. Do you have alternate contact e-mail?

Looks like a really nice app. I would love to see WVGA support in the future.

@trinest
Sent to your alternate e-mail
@xenokira
Thanks! Yeah that's definitely going to be supported. The feature requests that I have received will require me to code the framework from scratch.So, I expect a much better GUI and faster application.
I think that there is a little less interest in my application at XDA? Please prove me wrong and designers may help me

PrecieUX: Opulence is a one-click-applicable home screen decoration pack for BuzzLauncher users. Even if you have never used BuzzLauncher before, you can easily apply this beautiful home screen on your own device (whichever phone it may be) with a few clicks. If you do find it appealing, how-to-apply procedures are prepared for you at the bottom of this post.
Before moving on, please watch the teaser video I've prepared for you. I took time and care producing this video, so please watch in HD!
As the video read, certain privileges are available to only a number of special people. . . people like you. Opulence will bring the luxurious life-style that you deserve to your phone.
Ground up photoshopped matching pixel-to-pixel accuracy, tile-icons boast elegant details in even the phones with the highest resolution available in market today: Full HD (1920 x 1080). Designed and developed using Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4, Opulence is compatible with devices with other resolutions such as but not limited to HD (1280 x 720) or WVGA (800 x 480). Do not worry whether Opulence is going to look the same on your phone, because BuzzLauncher will automatically adjust layout and size of icons for your phone, whichever screen-size or resolution it may have.
Opulence is composed of 3 tabs: Main, Media and RSS. When you're in each of the three tabs, bottom of the tab you're in will glow to indicate the tab you're in. To switch to a certain tab, simply touch the tab you wish to switch to. Switching tab-to-tab is simply gorgeous: it feels like turning on a light-bulb by pressing on it.
The first tab of Opulence is "Main". Graceful widgets intuitively deliver to you information regarding date, time, your schedule, location and the weather. It has never been easier to see the important information so conveniently and so tastefully. Bottom third of the screen has short-cuts to the most necessary functions of your smartphone: downloading new applications, contacting your friends through social network services (folder containing short-cuts to different apps) and using your telephony services. The bottom dock is constant in all 3 tabs. Left tells you the percentage of battery you have left, and right tells you the time. Pressing the "Apps" icon will summon your phone's app-drawer that has all of your applications.
The second tab is your playground. It is worth a lot to live up to tight schedules, but sometimes you should enjoy good music or watch sensational movies. A big album-art of the album you're listening to decorates your second tab, so this tab will be automatically personalised to you individually according to the music you prefer. Without having to leave your home-screen, you can control your music player using the stylish control-icons already prepared for you. The Internet icon connects you to Google Chrome (but the short-cut can be directed to another application if you prefer another browser), and the Multimedia icon is a folder that contains apps most frequently used when listening to music or viewing your pictures and videos.
The third tab, as its name implies, has a gigantic RSS reader widget. Just pull out your phone from your pocket and unlock; the information you want to read will be updated and ready for you. (Press the bottom right corner of the RSS widget to add/remove RSS feeds). If the website you like does not support RSS, you can also choose to make bookmarks to your favorite websites and store them in the Bookmarks folder on the same screen.
To have PrecieUX: Opulence as your home-screen, please follow these steps:
* for convenience, you can choose to access http://www.bluepremium.co.kr/entry/PrecieUX-Opulence-Global. Then you can simply press on the following links.

3. Press "Download"
4. After applying Homepack, you can apply icons as you wish by downloading the icon pack for Opulence from the following link: http://bluepremium.co.kr/attachment/[email protected]
5. If you like Opulence, please take a minute to press the "like" button on Buzz Launcher. I've thoroughly explained the process in the following link.
http://bluepremium.co.kr/236. 1 minute you spare for me will mean a lot to me. Thank you.
Thank you, and enjoy your opulent life-style.

I have the galaxy s3, I download many apps

Wow, another list of so-called "Must have apps"... Great!

Sorry, thread looks okay, but is pretty unnecessary...you're always going to miss out on what others find 'Truly Esssential'
If you're really going to keep it:
- At least add some links....
- remove Advanced Task Killer........that really is NOT 'essential'

You're missing music players, Google play music works in like 5 countries and Apollo is quite terribad. DAE poweramp?
Brb creating one true list of essential apps, all other are false prophecies

Don't mean to be rude... but why would we want to see that? You don't justify any of your choices or anything (and frankly I find a number of your choices questionable, to say the least).

You are being rude, and you should go elsewhere and keep your mouth shut unless you have something useful to say.

I think this could be moved to to Q and A thread or General Thread. since it has no real need in this section.
specially since there are no links not even google play links.
