On a HD2 we use search button for "focus down" in the "camera trick" to reduce battery drain i.e. hit camera button, then video, then focus down and battery drain is reduced from -400 to -6

That is really terrific - works great thanks very much :fingers-crossed:
I've adjusted the display name (etc) to put a space between the words i.e. "Bing Launcher". I think it looks better. I've attached it - hope you don't mind.
I'll load it on the HD2 forum later when I get a chance - with your acknowledgement and a link here

Thanks for the apps! I've used the bing configurator for awhile now but it has stopped working for me. It will no longer let me change the picture. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it but nothing. I've also tried the new release and it still won't work. I'm running a fully unlocked HTC HD7 with a custom 7.8 rom. Even though the rom is fully unlocked, I tried trusting it in WP7 Root Tools but still nothing. Any ideas? Thanks!
Good work......
I Like it.......

I have finally got a nook
so, I have started porting my Sony homescreen replacement to work on the nook
so far it can get the list of books and shelves (collections), but not much else.
http://code.google.com/p/sonyprst1home/
I'll try to keep this thread updated with how it's going
please let me know if you would like to test this out (I can send you an apk to install)
All new releases will now be made on the google code page above.
it would be grat to have the apk and some screenshot
i would be interested to see a screen shot...
Awesome! Time to test it! I'm at school right now, so this is probably a terrible idea, but I might as well have something to do, right?
Edit: Have some screen shots. Ignore the 10:16 in corner of all the screen shots, I have an app that does that. (Sorry for the massive post)
Mini-Library / Homescreen
Pressing Menu on the Homescreen
Pressing "My Home Settings" here brings you to this screen
Library
Apps Page 1
Apps Page 2
It still seems to have various elements in color besides the app icons and the book covers.

if you use the apk from this thread, it uses a different method of accessing the database, and doesn't need permissions changed on the database file.

Wow, thanks for the great work. Really nice application for too many books and collections.
However, as the project was opensource, are you going to release the modified source somewhere? in a branch or tag or something?
I would like to see the screensaver feature working for last launched book, would try myself if the code was available.

As you mentioned the APK here has a different way of accessing some file, and I don't see a tag or branch for the nook, I understand that the code is the one for the PRS-T1, correct me if I am wrong.
It's the same code. I am making a single apk that will run on a Sony and a nook (and other devices in future)
First general release (0.1.0.00) which runs on both the Nook and Sony is now available on my google code page.

Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)

Usually it means there was a problem with the parser. I will try to fix this for your site today as I also noticed it.

Currently I am building and shortly will be done with my Facebook Metro App for Windows 8 and the idea is to have 2 UI's.
1). Full Screen w/Most Features.
2). Half-Sized w/Basic features so you can use your favorite App's while still accessing your Facebook features, feed and etc.
Question is, what would YOU want added to either UI?
Well u should post some pictures of the program so we can see what it has and hasnt so we can give you opinions When its really upload it and i will test it for sure
After or on Tuesday, I can share the design as I am scheduled with a MS Engineer to help my App have the final touches and tested as well and hopefully first Facebook App in the Store.
Also thanks for responding.

Please implement off line messages because the Messaging app won't let you send them

Well FBMetro is really just the project name, Facebook already has an App registered as Facebook Metro.
The half-sized mode is in fact the snapped mode... I have included old-SS of which the actual App does not represent anymore as of my meeting with my Microsoft sponsor who wouldn't permit me to go any further with the design, even though I was nowhere near done lol.
Note: Job Discovery is my other App for Win8 and is actually currently a free WP7 App. In the photo you can see that my Facebook App can be used by other Developers to post information from their App using my pre-established Auth to the end-users Facebook Account. Yes, they can actually implement my App to be used by theirs.
nice, where can I get it?
It's coming, very soon!
and here is my idea....
as you may know in our country (iran) we can't access FACE.BOOK...we have to use v.p.n and other pro.xy apps...
it'll be gr8 if you add setting to your app so that we can add pro.xy and these kind of things...(especially pro.xy...)
thanks...

hy. I just want to know, when it will be available? could we download it from windows store? I'm a really big METRO UI fan, and I would be happy if I can use facebook in this way.
and of course sorry for my bed english
Cool App!!
I am actually working with someone from Microsoft to get the App Certified, I had to really redo A LOT of the UI as they have made the standards really rough.
Right when it's ready, I will immediately provide the link.
Thanks for your interest!

Just for the records:
sideloaded apps (which have been installed in the settings menu) you can uninstall with Windows Phone Power Tools, you just have to know the GUID or if you have deployed them with that tool you will see their names instead of the GUID...

update 1.1 is in the first post.
Just made a little tool to make ring tones from the music you have stored on your phone.
It's alpha-stage and needs "some" improvement.
known issues:
- doesn't work on samsung devices
- some songs can not be saved if the start time is 0 seconds (just move the left marker 1 pixel to the right)
- if you load a song after changing the splitter marker the labels showing wrong informations about the time/duration
- play/pause button doesn't work correctly

When I used the SDK to access the artist pictures with my app mpatool them it doesn't work without changing the policies. maybe the new SDK version changed something ?

OK, thanks. The app is supposed to crash when clicking " click to browse" because I removed the music providing model from the code. Normally the model loads the data on app start to reduce the time between clicking and showing the library content. Now I know where the bug is located and I can search deeper.
