FAQ
What is it?
"I Am Rich HD" is an imitation of the useless "I Am Rich" iPhone app that was around some time ago and by association is completely useless as well.
But whats the point then?
Well... there isn't one. Its just my venture into the world of WinMo development. And its pretty.
(On that note, could someone recommend some websites/tutorials/ebooks on the specific topic of using VS2008 for developing WinMo apps. Thanks.)
How do I use it?
Theres 2 buttons.
- Info Button -> shows you the matra. (recite it at least 3 times a day to make sure you have your wealth forever)
- the X button -> closes the app
To go to the main screen from the mantra hit the back button on the HD.
For the about dialog tap the mantra.
But there already is an "I Am Rich" Windows Mobile app.
Thats not a question. But anyway the other app that is out there did not display properly on my HD. I believe it was developed for the Diamond.
Something isnt working.
Again not a question but honestly I have no idea. I thing you need to have .NET Framework 3.5 for the app to work properly.
How do I install it?
Just copy the exe anywhere in your device and run it.
Can I help? / Can I have the resources?
Sure. If you are interested in doing some pointless fun programming PM me and I will send you all the graphics. I would like to include some further changes to the program, unfortunately my VS2008 programming skills are pretty limited. PM me if you can lend a hand and/or answer a few specific questions.
Thanks for giving it a try. Any feedback is appreciated (and I mean any).

nice my friend lol
thank you for your share

Ive had little to no exposure to VS before but making this "app" didnt take more then a couple of hours. And that includes Photoshop time. But knowing some programming is a must just to make your way around VS. I started here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445396

KINdroid(Vermine Droid Clone)

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
Please clear temporary files and cookies to see changes.

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.

Cut features - What I miss in Windows Phone7.5 Mango that was in WP7

There are many, many (and more to come) new featurs in 7.5 and I love them all!
But I miss something in WP 7.5 (7.10.7712.60):
(red marked)
1.
Was nice when listening to long audiofiles. (also on lockscreen)
WP7___________________________________________________WP7.5
2.
The "search website" features is missing
3.
Please MS, let us change the reload icon/button to the tabs or favorites icon/button!
4.
The Imagequality when uploading from picture hub to Facebook is horrible now!
5.
The colors have been renamed. i.a. limettengrün to lindgrün.
Some (all?) of them (I noticed it on limettengrün/limegreen) are less colorful
Do U miss more features from WP7.5 that was in 7?
6.
Several Members: Transparent lockscreen wallpapers gone (IMO this isn't a cut feature, some of us just used a glitch...)
7.

Whoa, and I thought the picture quality was horrible already in WP7 NoDo.
Hope its not worse, maybe just a bug that now appeared on your phone too?

Damn they removed that track timer in MANGO??? Thats so important.. no bar showing length?

I miss the old browser, don't really like how the new one is set up now

Don't forget, they removed transparent wallpapers too. I was looking forward to this feature.

Why so?
I think the new placement of url etc is awesome.
What is it that is bad?

I don't think there'll be one single update,wp7 is too big a mess to solve in one swoop. Next year April probably we'll be smiling from ear to ear and sideloading apps we haven't even thought of. Until then its slim pickings,should have waited for the bloody Nokia.

I'm wondering if the transparent wallpaper "feature" was actually a bug that we just took advantage off. I noticed that the squares in various hubs, such as office and picture, no longer go transparent when I move from page to page like they did before mango.

Yeah I'm pretty sure wasn't a feature, it was more of a hack

Yeah man, they had to do something with Zune on the lockscreen, and it made it a huge mess. It's too bad, I did it to my friends focus and it looked beautiful. And I don't own a WP7 currently, so I will never get to enjoy it.
Maybe if we get a poll going, we could bring this to Microsoft's attention?

well i miss the favs button and the tabs button being on the screen, instead of having to use the menu, i honestly didnt mind the URL bar at the top, but whatever, I cant wait for the official Mango update to come out

Editing (saving) old Word files (97-03) ... doesn't work anymore. -.-

I have to agree about the browser. It's not a make or break problem for me, but is kind of annoying to have that extra step. I also wish they'd give IE a Forward/Back Button instead of using the hardware Back button. Would be nice for the URL to be on top & auto-hide, swipe down to show it in portrait & landscape. Make it thicker since it'd auto hide. Just my 2 cents on it.
Also, don't like them (MS) breaking homebrew native app (INTEROPSERVICES). That is a big deal for me. That's the main reason I'm not using the Beta2. The new features are nice, but the lack of homebrew kills it for me.

Gee I wonder what other apps will be going to iOS too?

I don't know why there's an app since the built in functionality is already really good.

After you've read the blog entry you will (or "should") understand.
If you don't, then you don't need the app.

This app nicely proves my point I made long time ago....
Anyway nice thing and probably very functional.

don't know what the big deal about this is either. At least they aren't saying "if u want our services buy our devices " like google is (still no google apps on wp7) and there are many wp7 users who want this, there are also people on android who want easier access to hotmail or windows live messenger and there's nothing wrong with that.

In order for skydrive to be successful it has to be multi-platform. Dropbox is where it is today becuase of the widespread support and api for it.

I'm betting that with Skydrive seeming to be a big part of Windows 8, that Microsoft really doesn't care what device you use, as long as they can get your foot in the door with Skydrive.

Will it make you less emo? I hope so
Microsoft is late as always. Dropbox and box.net have already given iOS and android users 5-50 gb of storage which isn't tied to a Windows live id. Their apps were out a long time ago.
Microsoft needs to push its platform. WP7 can and will push their services by proxy. XB360 as well, to a lesser extent.

This is pretty sweet. Being both a user of Windows Phone 7 and the iPhone at the same time, it will make it very easy for me to access the photos I've taken with my Windows Phone 7 from my iPhone.
I doubt Apple will be so open with their iCloud?
This is also great for Windows Phone 7 users to be able to share docs with co workers that are using an iPhone.

iCloud and SkyDrive are not the same type of product. It was developed as a storage solution primarily for Mac/iOS users and apps, and not necessarily to be general purpose like SkyDrive and Dropbox. Box.net gave 50gb storage to ios users so most probably took that offer and ran with it. I know I did.
I mean you can't really go in there and browse it like the hard drive the way you can those other products.

^^^^This article is about the availability of the SkyDrive app, not about the "superiority" of dropbox and box.net.

I have tested both versions: WP7 and iOS.
The WP7 version is a bad joke:
- I can´t upload or watch videos (possible on iPhone)
- I can´t open word documents or pdf files (download error and offer to try it in the browser ?)
- Only upload of pictures is possible
Edit:
- not even my in the office hub created notes I can open
What I like is that I can delete files or folders and that I can see all shared folders of my friends on one page.
I hope the app will be updated soon...
I don´t understand either why MS allows better skydrive support for iOS than for WP.

Hm.. Not true.
1) I can open and stream videos and music. Pay attention that the codecs you used are supported by WP7.
2) I can open PDF, Excel, Word... No issues here.
The only thing I currently don't know about is the possibility of uploading videos. I just haven't tried it yet. But I believe it's possible as long as they are still in the appropriate section of the pictures hub rather than in the Zune hub.

lol... enjoy, haha

Not available in all markets
The Skype Beta seems to be limited to certain markets. I cannot download it in Germany. Hopefully Microsoft is extending the Beta to more countries soon.
EDIT: The Zune Link is not working, but the web marketplace link (from Skype Blog) is working in Germany.

Strike_Eagle, thanx for the nice information.
Now I have one reason less to hate WP
ultrashot implemented RAPI (WMDC runs and gives full access to file system and registry from PC), you pointed on Skype...
Now - I miss only VPN .... and probably REPL....

and Hey!
heads up!
SDK 7.1.1 is live!

I put a note upthere, confirmed it work with IE only, haven't tried on Firefox and Opera.

Anyone who can't download properly, please look at post 1 for updated link for web version, please let me know if you still can't download.

This.. is great!
Finally Windows Phone has the Skype app..
Just wish I could use it properly with my HD7 (with a front camera)..
Oh well. good enough xD

It not support multitasking...
You are disconnected from Skype when you press home or back.
XAP for sideloaders.

Also I have a greek friend in my list and his name does not pop up in the contacts, but it does pop up when I click the plus to start a conversation...
But its a beta of course. Ow weird, I'm restarting the app now and the greek name shows up now, very strange haha. Never mind then.
I hope they can somehow use the ringtone when there would be an incoming skype call. This is what prevents tango from working correctly atm.
Unfortunately the design is not as nice as the mockups joe belfiore showed a year ago (!). But its better than nothing and I'm certainly happy with it, have been wanting this for long time

I can't download it, I get an error message saying I need a "newer version of Windows Phone". There is no update available for my device, HTC Mozart on Orange UK. Any ideas?

I put it onto my LG Optimus Quantum using Application Deployment and seems to be working great.

You can only download it directly on the phone. Zune on the Desktop only work for US users (because zune:// links don't support a locale parameter). It's not searchable in the marketplace either.
I recommend using the QR code in the official blog post.

You need Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" to install it.

Why not just get it from the marketplace? What's the point of side-loading it?

I would say people try it with IE. Yes, i mean Internet Explorer

I can't download in the UK.

i recommend try the Marketplace Link instead of the Zune Link.
