Whether you prefer Bing as a search engine or not you might admit the daily pics are brilliant. I used to love the daily bing theme, worked fine for windows 7 but just sits blank doing nothing on RT. Other bing dynamic themes work but I cant get the daily pics to actually download - the script installs fine, I even get the option to download attachments as usual but nothing downloads - all scripts I have found are aimed at windows 7 - Help please.
My surface is jalibroken and able to run unsigned code fine.
Here is one I found that doesn't seem to work yet installs OK

The way I do it is install the theme (Bing Desktop) on my windows 8 laptop. Since Windows 8\RT sync the desktop wallpaper I get the Bing pic of the day on my Surface. Not ideal, but works fine for me. And if you don't have a Win8 machine this solution clearly will not work for you.

I tried to install gmail and gmaps.
However in the installation it shows the phone as an LG 500u. How do I change so I can download something for the tytn?
Mine is doing the same after the update of black 3.01... Any possible fixes guru's???
I tried to download the gmail app to see what your problem might be, however it will not even install on my 8525.
However, I have a pocket pc version of google maps if you want to try that instead of gmaps.
Also, I have MS Live Search and really recommend that over google maps. It's much easier to use and is a little more feature rich. It's also much better than Windows Live IMO.
most importantly is the GMAIL app.
i can't be without it - I might have to go back to black 2.5 or somthing.
even the lsv... newer versions doesn't work with gmail.
I was able to install it using the cab that JJ posted about here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1253997&postcount=9
However, I am finding it very difficult to run Midlets. They are very clunky. Is there a regular pocket pc application for gmail floating around out there?
http://www.theunwired.net/?item=dev...gory=01-general-news&category=01-general-news saw this seams like a great idea also could as it says make a remote control for vista/xp media centre that works would be fantastic think of the possibilities any devs fancy a challenge..
Cooooooooooooooooooool
this is what i have been waiting for. Thankx for the update
Cool, I can't wait till there's something downloadable to play with. I used Rudeo MCE control with XP MCE, but I don't think it works with Vista Media Center.
Cube Dev leading to a Sideshow Enviroment (Raven_coda and Kona_Mtbkr???)
Seeing the work that Raven_coda and Kona_Mtbkr have done to emulate the Cube, I wonder if they would be interested in turning their hands to emulating the, so-far, unreleased Sideshow for Windows Mobile.
It looks like a pretty swanky interface and I'm sure that, if it were available now, most people would be racing to get in onto their devices.
Obviously it is more complicated than the Cube in that each page has live/updating data displayed, but what a project to get your teeth into.
It could be created in page form like the Cube, with sweeping motions to move to the next page and even be called up by the DownUp sweeping motion used to open the Cube. The opening could also included a rotation of the screen.
Just a suggestion...
i like that idea of having the information from sideshow, whats playing now with wmp, or rss, or stocks or email from the mail sideshow, that would be great.
or on the HTC Home screen where you go left or right to view each sideshow gadgets displayed information.
They finally got around to releasing a version of SideShow (this is MS's official beta, not a 3rd party). Tried it on my phone with Ricky/Kavana's v23. It works (no crashes yet)... some problems with browsing the media files library (content malformed).
The real bummer is that the home plug-in works does not work with the new 6.1 panel home (you either have to revert to the old 5/6 home screen to browse email, content, feeds, etc.). You can go to it as a regular app but that somewhat defeats it's purpose.
Anyone think that it can be ported to to work with 6.1 sliding panels?
Free download on MS's site without having to contend with RapidShare:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...84-f862-4e02-a2b0-0003b4565f34&DisplayLang=en
Thoughts anyone.
What does it all do this new program?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_SideShow
this sounds freaking sweeet can't wait to try it out tonight....
i get it working. the bluetooth setup takes forever and and is not very stable, also i can not get the windows media player gadget working (the main reason i downloaded this).
Just read the documentation from the download. States not compatible with toshiba BT drivers. Too Bad
oh yah I see thats cool
Ah bummer, looks like it's for Vista and Mobile not XP - doh!

Same here, it looked graphically promising but oh well.
I stumbled upon a new Mobile Browser for our HTC Dash, its called UCWEB Super Browser v6.0.1. While it is still a Beta, it is very stable (has not crached or froze up yet and I've been using it for a few days), it is very fast, has TONS of options and well (I hate to say it) is a bit better then Opera Mobile. It works flawlessly with Google (like Googles new "my location" feature on mobile search, GMail and others where Opera does not work or only half works. Security is very good and its fast as heck in rendering (it renders pages on the device not a remote server) pages and gives you the option of preformating to your devices screen size.
A quick feature summery:
Main Features:
• FREEWARE - Its free cant get better then that
• Adaptation for small screen
• Data traffic statistics
• Visited history
• Domain name quickly input
• Supporting multi-formatted file
• Supporting web local-storage
• Multi-windows browsing
• Page dynamic optimization
• Picture optimizing display
• Shortcut Keys (user defined)
• RSS Feed Subscriptions
• Built in E-mail Client for POP3 and IMAP, full support for attachments
• Comprehensive search features (user definable)
• Download Manager - Resume broken download connections
• Personal Data Manager - Saves web sites to your device, export bookmarks
All in all I give it a solid 9 out of 10 (and its still in Beta)
Check it out here: UCWEB Super Browser v6.0.1 beta
Download the Windows Mobile 5 and 6 CAB file here: UCWEB Super Browser for WM 5 & 6
Crashes Dash on first try will install to phone mem and give a try.
No such luck just shows a black bar @ top and crashes phone
I can't get it to load after installing the cab. Freed up memory and closed everything in task. Hmmm when I get time I'll try again. I checked out the website and phone model not supported. They have a generic option. What phone did you select Keith?
I download the HP -> iPAQ 512 and installed fine.
Could be that the cab Keith upload got corrupted.
*Thanks to NRG for suggesting compatible phone to Dash*

Which one did you go for as there is 2 with different file names?
http://wap.ucweb.com/dl_platform/publish/scripts/mobiledetail.php?project_code=100&mobileid=3000
Or could you just media share the file please.
Thanks in advance
Honestly...you're not hip to the Chinese language?? wow
I honestly flipped a coin and picked 2. lol
Here you go
Update: Although playing with it, not knowing if that is the right picking, it is a bit buggy.
I installed the generic, Java. I like that a whole lot better.
Maybe Keith can enlighten us on picking the right phone for our Excaliburs.
Yeah I installed the java generic earlier today and it worked fine but the Chinese is a killer. It makes you crave rice...
It's quicker than skyfire but not so sure it's faster than mini.
I'll try the HP cab.

Nice one, how did you know which Java one to get? Or was it lucky dip again?
Look @ this for a translation http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translat...pts/webcommon.php&lp=zt_en&btnTrUrl=Translate
rather funny
i didnt download the cab
i did it through wap site on phone
I saw "English" and clicked on it and it translate the steps.
Any idea if this works over t-zones??.....
Visit the wap site with your phone http://wap.ucweb.com . I downloaded mine directly from the wap site and it autodetected my Dash (I run 6.1 Kav by the way) and I had no problems. The above CAB is for WM 5 or 6, I guess it looks like it wont work on 6.1 or perhaps the CAB got messed up on upload.. I'll reupload it.
this is what you want right?
the Dopod 720w is the same as the Dash so this is the version you want am i correct?
also acording to translation the first download link is the most current version where as the second link is last stable.
I find that the fist link does not work however the second link works. (as far as running the programm goes)
i must also say its very beautiful nice find, its fast like opera mini but functional like skyfire of corse sacrific on both but meets in the middle somewhere.
The English version works fine on my HTC Touch Pro (Raphael). Up to yesterday, the file name for HTC Diamond (should be OK for Touch Pro I believe) is:
UCWEB6-61-300-31-08081214.cab
Chinese HTC is re-branded as Dopod or 多普达, Touch Diamand is calleds900.
I love the browser not just because I speak Chinese but for its unmatched features that not found with other browsers. But I don't put all my eggs in one basket, BTW.
It can use vodafone's 3G high speed Internet or Wifi (not USB with ActiveSync ).
The function that I would like to have in future versions is Flash!
Thx for the info on ucweb
thx bupahs ucweb is awesome i like it more than opera mini,more options plus when i edit my cpr file my font is the font for all applications in ucweb ,cool
It took me several tries to get the right version from their website. First I should have scrolled down to where I could switch the language to English. Instead, I downloaded the first one that appeared to be for a Windows Mobile SP. It turned out to be the latest Chinese version and even the chinese characters wouldn't show up on my phone.
Then I installed a Windows version, but I got warnings that it wasn't for my phone. It worked anyways, but I did want to get rid of the warning so I tried again. I recall someone mentioning that the HTC Dash and the Dopod C720W are the same. So I found that particular version and it is really fast! It's amazing as well that it's running natively and not as a Java App.
Uninstalling the other incorrect versions didn't go so smoothly though. The icons remained in Start/Programs. Therefore, I restored my phone from an earlier backup and then reinstalled the UCWeb browser.
Thanks again for this great find!
Thank you,
Tim
Screenshots are a must!!!!
UCWEB....
I downloaded,works great except for streaming videos.Says i need the latest version of flash player....when i try to update,it asks what OS i have.i`m not sure which to pick...I feel stupid but can i get alittle help?A link maybe? Thanks in advance.....
i have to say this is my new favorite web browser.
Definitely a great browser so far! It's quick, renders well, and is very flexible (options-wise).
the only thing i don't like is that i can't see facebook like in opera mini otherwise is awsome
i have the latest version 6.3
Hello...
I'm working on a mobile version of a website and I don't know anyone with windows phone 7.
Would a couple people be willing to try and break it and tell me if something doesn't work?
I have access to test with windows mobile 6.5, android, iphone, and blackberry.

Looked good to me. Navigation was clean and fast, and the audio links all worked fine.
The only problem I saw was that all of the "Most recent" links on the free downloads page took me to the same place - the current schedule page.
Oh, boy...
Thanks for pointing that out.
I used ? instead of &.
JJ
That showed up another problem.
Apparently, my code on listseries.php was funked and it showed the same Recent Messages instead of the messages for each series.

Functioned well for me on a Samsung focus

Runs smooth and looks good on my HD7.
Do the mp3 links just start playing or does it require the file to download and open separately?
WM6.5 only downloads.
JJ
They started playing immediately for me.
it is working very well
Hello, again...
Would some of you wp7 guys test another link for me?
I'm working on some streaming mp4 video and it's working for iphone/ipad, but not android or desktops.
I'm wondering if it works for wp7.

No, it does not work. It tries to play it as a video (in full screen), but then it says that it can not play the video. Are you using a video format that Windows Phone 7 is supposed to support?
I don't have the foggiest idea.
It's a live stream that is going through a third-party streaming company (we encode, live, and stream to them, then everyone connects to them for the stream).
I've just implimented the code that they provided and it works for apple devices, but nothing else.
JJ
Edit...
Apparently, it works on a mac with safari, but not windows with safari.

Sorry, we can't play this file on your phone.

I'm not concerned about how things look or function, just what background color shows up in portrait and landscape.
In theory, it should be blue for portrait and orange for landscape.
Please test with any browswer that windows phone 7 supports, if possible.
Thanks...
JJ
Seems to work with IE9 (WP build 7712)
However you can't read headlines/Links in portrait mode since they blend with the blue background
Color changes (so does the font size but i'm guessing that has to do with whatever you tied to the orientation). So to verify above, you're good on the 7712 mango build.
Yeah, the functionality of it is meaningless, at the moment.
I was in the middle of testing some xml loading and decided to try some css media query stuff.
It's lame, though, as my windows mobile 6.5 internet explorer isn't using media="handheld" or min/max-width.
JJ
Worked perfectly here.
