Hey guys @short_sam here,
So for a while now I've realized that your devices don't get the features explained that you would benefit from. So I would like to propose a video series where I explain these 'features' or innovations that make things easier for you. If you would like to me to feature your Rom, Bootloader, Recovery, or even news in my video shoot me a pm, a tweet, a Facebook message, or G+ hangout. My twitter name is short_sam, my G+ is +Sam Short, my facebook username is samshort13, my email is [email protected]. What will happen basically, is you will send me a video request and I will try my best to cover it in the video. I hope to bring to light what all of you amazing developers have been working on. You guys honestly have saved me a lot of trouble when it comes to support for my phones. I look forward to working with you all! The op will be updated as new videos are added.
-Thanks fellow xda members!

Any news on a new TCPMP + FlashVideoBundle? I used to love it because you were able to view YouTube as if you were on a computer and then see the videos and download them as well. I hope some developer can make another build to make it work with the new YouTube format.
Yes, I was looking for this as well.
Yea I thought about that for a while, I guess most users are depending on Skyfire nowadays.
hopefully some developer can remake it and be compatible with the new YouTube. Lets just hope some one hear's us. ;]
Come on developers! Answer our call please!
Hello fellow xdarians..
I browse WMexperts and WMpoweruser daily and I found this article:
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=12990
Has anyone already heard about it?
They simple take ideas of people and if it is good enough they will make the app and even share the profit with you but money is not important here, is it??
To the point!
Since everyone is aware that MS Facebook app really sucks, I decided to write these guys to make a decent FB app like iPhones have.
What do you think?
Good idea?
Please share your thoughts in this poll.
PS: This is what I wrote them...I will also post their reply if I'll get any.
LET'S HOORAY FOR A NEW FACEBOOK APP THAT KICKSASS
Hello Appubator Team
I stumbled across an article about your plans to simply make people’s ideas come true.
I would like to get straight to the point.
Since we, Windows Mobile users (no offense to current FB app developer) have really crappy FaceBook application, I would like to ask you to create a perfect Facebook app. Like iPones users have. Even better
Is this possible?
Please let me and the WinMo community know what do you think.
Thank you.
PS: I don’t want 30% of the revenue.
All I (or rather said, we, Windows Mobile users) want is a good Facebook app.

Well, since the MS Facebook application did have a lot of negative comments, it would be nice to see someone trying to make it better for the WM users. And, the request itself can't hurt, so - yes is my vote.
Good idea.
Just do it, do it, do it do it do it, nooow=)! It would be great!!!
Surely want one. Microsoft's Facebook app is extrememly ugly even I don't wanna show that screen to my friend. And I cannot accept that lack of funtionality.
Please make one.
Hello there fellow developers. I recently made quite a progress in developing skype for WP7.
I want to share my current progress with you, so maybe someone will want to join this little project, which, in future will be released for free, and probably with source code .
I'm not designer, as you will see from the screenshots, but, if you are, and want to join this effort in making skype, contact me asap.
nice work
i'm waiting for release
I'm not really a designer myself, but I'm pretty experienced with WPF/Silverlight programming, and I'm always up for a bit of open source work.
PM me if you want me to help out.

I second that.
I don't have much free time but i'd love to contribute to this project.
I've got some experience in Silverlight/WPF programming, so there should be several points where i can help out.
I've more on the development side as well but I've been doing lots of work with the notification system in wp7 and am happy to help out.
Pm me i could be useful.
this is great it should remain a sideload project though? Skype probably would not like it, or will they?
Anyway very very usefull and nice idea! If I would have some time I would love to help. Or at least test and bugfix and **** I'm not an educated designer, I'm just a perfectionist and hate ugly apps
nice job man!
I made a quick mockup about how the message thing can look.
I thought about just having 2 pivots or panorama pages with a contact list like you have now select a contact and swype t the left to chat with this person swipe to the right click a diffrent contact now it loads the chat of that contact. So that you will always have just 2 pivot pages, otherwise you might get lost if you have multiple people chatting at the same time
I made a mockup of how your conversations can look in metro style. Idk if you like it. I made it quickly the icons etc. are but ugly but just to get an idea. All the images are just copy and pasted from skype and wp7 haha so it was just pretty simple and wont pass the marketplace (not with the skype header at least).
It very similar to what you already made with the contactlist and just a logical next step of your work. I could code the layout for it for you ,but I dont think its that hard to code this design or to get these images.
(Ow and yeah the credits in the sample text is towards you ofcourse, great job, great project man!)
This is great, I know there is a long way to VOIP but this looks promising. Thanks pal!
I'm a Designer
I'm a pretty good deisgner. Well i have a lot of free time and i would love to contribute to your Skype client. If you would like to have somebody wih a lot of experience with design like photoshop, and expression, then please write me a message.
that is amazing... waiting for release
So niiiiiiiiiiice !! GJ, you could submit it to Skype...
as author respond me, private beta will be after 1 week, but public will be released after 2 weeks. :s
Any news on the progress of the app? Skype is one of the very few things I really miss on WP7 and to be honest chat is more than enough for me
if you need a designer,im in to help you,just ask
Again, I want to offer my help to the OP.
Coding C#/XAML is not a problem to me - But I'm not a good UI-Designer
Maybe i can help
Hey, i can make icons and layout for you, and i have some knowledge too, beside am in for beta testing. PM me in anyway you want me to help in coding and designing some icons too.
I have deleted all of the "I want to beta test" posts...the OP did not ask for beta testers, he asked for developers.
I'm sure he will ask for beta testers when he is ready, so no more of these posts please.
Thanks for the support.
I think that Skyper application will be delayed for a while.
Not sure how long, but, we are working on it.
Just recently implemented avatar support, enjoy!.
Hi guys,
I'm a senior .net dev, if you want a help for complete the voip part of the app you can contact me.
Nice work...
THIS IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SKILLS AT ANDROID DEVELOPMENT, OR ARENT CURRENTLY PLANNING ON OR CURRENTLY MAKING SOMETHING NEW FOR OUR DEVICE DO NOT REPLY. THIS IF FOR DEVELOPERS ORGANIZATION ONLY. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE BASICS OF DEVELOPING THOUGH, OR WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN HELP US, DO NOT POST HERE, ASK ANY DEVELOPER THROUGH PM.
Well, I had to get that out of the way.
Me and Adriel were talking for a while today, and were thinking of having a developer conference for all developers of our device on the weekends. He has a business gotomeeting account we can use to audio chat, and share our computer screens live (and not use actual cameras for privacy reasons). We can have up to 25 people at a time. What we want to do is to get as many developers as we can on so we can talk about all our current projects, ways we tried to get stuff working, and what we want to do going forward. We also want to use it so that people (like myself) who are newer to development can ask the more experienced devs questions to get themselves better, and we can all maybe be on the same skill level eventually, and in general get more stuff for our devices going. Me and adriel are both able to do this on Sunday (me in the afternoon, Adriel TBA), and we wanted to see who else can join us. I want to be able to get this as a monthly thing if possibly on the weekends, and maybe weekly per availability on a smaller scale. Also if we can get it working, I want to find a free version to do the same thing, and allow anyone with development experience to host a group to allow general users to ask questions, and try to learn development themselves. I believe besides just normal test/audio chat being able to see each other's computer screens (hide anything personal first) would allow us to use much easier visual learning, and help the community as a whole. Tell me what you all think.
You can count me in.. I'm pretty new to development though... I'm just starting to get my feet wet... My only dev work (sorta)... Is the porting of the Lewas Rom to my beloved EVO 4G .... But I'm definitely interested in developing for this device (well at least learn something)...

Another original Evo user! awesome! Well instead of using gotomeeting we might just use google+ hangout- much easier, and dont need adriel to be on each time. I suggest taking your username and creating a google account with it for the hangout. for example mine is [email protected]. I will be on all weekend on google+ now.
Count me in!
I may or may not be available but most devs know how to contact me.

well the only issue I see here is gotomeeting doesn't support linux, so that eliminates me.
Whats wrong with everyone just hoping on an irc channel?

Shelnutt2, i was gonna suggest this type of thing. i noticed the current irc room is just noobs and what not who need help fixing/lgnpst'ing their phones. why not make two rooms #lgog-help and a dev room for you guys and testers.
that way, the dev talk isn't washed out with people needing help fixing their phones and dumb questions about eta

We decided to use Google+ instead. Much easier since its browser based, but only ten people. If someone wants to get $3 we can get up to 250 on oovoo.
Also IRC is good, but it doesn't allow us to see the persons screen, so no visual help. I can then see exactly what you click on, and just talk and not worry about talking while working. And if someone's getting help they can just listen to suggestions, and not have to look at a chat screen if they don't have multiple monitors. Also for chat for developers I was thinking of maybe using something besides freenode. Its not very mobile friendly, and I personally don't like it. Gtalk is the best for one on one it seems like, but we something like palringo- download the app on any OS for any smartphone/computer/tablet. Chats as big as we want for free, and it supports pictures and short audio clips. Also private messaging, bots, and such. And you just right click some bodies name to mod, admin, ban, or silence them. And permanent ban is possible. Then we can keep anyone not wanted out, but still let normal users that don't bug the channel float around and watch our chats. If anybody has another alternative to palringo, please tell me. I want us all to be as connected as possibly, and in all formats without it being a hassle. I want us accessible to each other, and even to normal flashaholics through chat, screen cast, and audio. Always accessible in case someone has an issue with a ROM or mod. Makes development easier.

Gtalk can have multiple people in a party chat. Also, there are several irc apps for Android.

Okay. How would you go about doing that on GTalk? Still fairly new to it.

On android, just open a chat, then menu, add friends and you can pick who to invite... Probably something similar on other clients.

I'll edit this as needed; however, I would like to get this seriously off it's feet. These are the following courses that I would be the best to learn for now. And have different developers teaching the course work once a week.
If we start tomorrow, we'll literally start extremely easy; however, it'll get harder. I think it'll be best if dedicated an hour and a half to all lessons (More for more difficult subjects) and developers teaching should have an agenda in mind. Here's a weekly schedule that sounds like it'll be beneficial.
Week 1: Copy & Paste Rom
Folder and File Structure (10 minutes)
Top Level Modifications (20 Minutes)
Updater Script (Commands and Permissions) (20 Minutes)
Implementing Aroma Scripts and Modified Updater Script (40 Minutes)
Week 2: De-compiling and Theming
Week 3: Setting up Linux Development Environment
Week 4: Developing a ROM from Source
Week 5: Developing a Kernel from Source
If you're a developer and want to teach any one of these, please reach out to me.
Some responsibilities for teaching include recording your screen as you present. This is specifically to be able to upload the video to youtube afterwards so that anyone can watch if they miss the session. The only disadvantage for users that watch the video is the inability to ask questions during the tutorial.
I'll also make accommodations for the developer depending on what they need. I'll help find solutions for video capturing software, which shouldn't be difficult.
Hopefully we can get this off the ground so that people are more knowledge about ROM development. Most of these tutorials can already be found online; however, it's always difficult to get started.
Thanks,
Adriel
If anybody wants, I am on right now. I can do the week 1 tutorial for new people, or talk about current projects with other devs.
I am on google+ under evo dev. my gtalk and email to find me is [email protected]. If you cant find me on google+ shoot me an email, and ill send you invite to a hangout. just put your hand over your camera so you can switch it off, then turn on screen cast. You can also use a normal chat if you dont have a headset or built in mic.
Last month we have gathered a lot of feedback and we have been working since to improve the app and the global experience. We had 700 new downloads. We have fixed a couple of things on the back-end and the app has been stable for few weeks.
For those who don't know Jungl, it is a place to share and discover mobile apps with your friends and people you can relate to. Everyone selects their favorite apps. You can browse other people's selections and see their discoveries. Like Tinder, Jungl is a swipe left or right and learns from your habits.
Link to Playstore
We are at the second round of feedback and already made massive improvement. We a few hundred users and I'd like feedback from XDA devs and readers.
We are working at putting out new updates as people find things the app needs, so please let me know of any feedback!
First post: I'm building a tool to have one single place to collect our favorite apps, make it easily viewable by anyone and discover other apps. At the moment I have an APK (beta) and a webapp (alfa) for testing.
I need testers and feedback to continue the development. If you want to test you can PM me and I'll send the version you wanna test. It is facebook connect and the test would work better if you get at least two of you facebook friends to do it with you.
I look forward to get some feedback !
