Database Develop

The Wingster - ROMs, Programs, and More for your Touch Pro 2

The Wingster: Access to all of the best ROMs, Programs, and Hacks for your T-Mobile Wing
As many of you already know, I created a website called "The Wingster", which is dedicated to everything for the Touch Pro 2 and T-Mobile Wing!
ROMs - There are a lot of ROMs out there, and since the cooks are busy creating newer versions, they don't always have time to make a nice detailed description page about their ROM. So I do it for them! Don't spend all of your time digging through a lengthy thread, if there was anything important that happened, it will be on The Wingster!
Programs - All programs are tested for compatibility with the Touch Pro 2, any bugs or issues are reported, screenshots are created, features are listed, and more. I'm making all the apps on XDA accessable by the common user!
More - The Wingster is the place for everything Touch Pro 2. If anything important happens about the phone, I'll be sure to tell everyone.
Enjoy using The Wingster!
And donations are always welcome! I've gotta pay $15 a year for the awesome website domain, so you've all got about 10 months to come up with $15 so we can keep the site! Just kiddin, I can pay that myself, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to. So yea, send the very optional donations via Pay Pal, here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5401195 (Remember, your cooks need tips, so save some for them too)
I hope I've helped all of you! And if anyone cannot or doesn't feel like donating with money, a nice reply saying how I helped you is always welcome! Just knowing that I'm helping everyone here makes me even more motivated to make the site better!
Thanks everyone, and thanks to Ivan especially, his awesome ROMs inspired me to make The Wingster.
I'm willing to help anyone here, so we can use this thread for troubleshooting too. But I created this thread so that new users would be able to find a link to the location that holds most of the ROM's for the Touch Pro 2, since digging through threads can be exhausting. I'm not dissin XDA I'm just helping it out.

I stopped watching TV because of all the infomercials...

Lol, what?
As I said, I posted this here, in ROM Development, because it's very related to ROM's. Most ROM's are listed on The Wingster, so users can find and locate the ROM's there. Just like how other threads (for different phones) may have a thread that keeps track of all of the ROM's that are made for the phone, well, this is that thread, except it just links to The Wingster, because that serves the purpose!
It helps to eliminate people asking, where can I find this ROM, etc. Everything's organized by operating system...etc. XDA is great, but some of the ROM threads can be tough to find, because they're not all on the first page, etc. I'm just facilitating the proccess!
You get it? Or did you not even want a detailed response, and I went over the top?
Night,
Andrew
(I used "etc" a lot in that paragraph, lol)

I think wingster is a good idea, also for the chefs. Im offering you free webhosting for it. If your interested, just pm me mate.
Greets,
Dennis

It is a very helpful website.

Glad things are working in your favor. Just wanted to say thank you for the work on the website. Haven't used it, but since I was informed by this thread, I will make use of that resource.

Weather forecast, women animation perhaps

I posted this Idea on PPCgeeks and was told to better post it here since all the GREAT developpers are here.
What would be really cool, if some developer would mod/tweak the weather tab or the weather on home screen with women animation for sene 2.1 and 2.5.
Example:
1-Sunny - an animated swimming suit model
2-Cold - a animated women with white coat on
3-Windy - animated Marilyn Monroe with her signature pic, flying white dress
I think that would be nice and an extreme hit.

Clever idea.
Not a developer, but most of the weather apps simply use a different numbered .png file for each condition. It would be fairly easy to replace them with static images of different woman pictures. The animation may be a bit trickier...

hahaha... I like the idea

Great idea. i hope it will be done some day=)

Most of the work for this would be more graphical and skinning then actual software development.
So i moved this thread.

You're so right ! people want skin and very graphic descriptions

I can help with the image editing if anyone can tell me details on what would need to be done

Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about it, but you could ask HERE or even track down and ask directly the 2 users who made the mods you can find in post 5 of that thread. Just read a few pages back from the end.

well can be done with towolfs 3d weather... it uses the swf file for the animation so you need to make appropriate swf file and change it....

wow~i like this idea!! this is so cool
looking forward for this

Woah...
This is an awesome idea, and I can't WAIT until this is done. I'll def be following this thread. Let's make it happen.

and maybe a version for those of us that like the boy types?

MarketPlace For Skins & Themes: Categories & Sections To Include?

We have been running WMSkins Gallery, with an aim to bring all the skins & themes for Windows mobiles to one central location. Now we are creating a platform based on WMSkins Gallery which will be a marketplace for all the skins & themes for Windows Mobiles & Android.
Designers over here go a great job & provide our devices a new look but they are not given full credit. We would like that designers get there share of advantage for their hard work. So, we will provide all the designers a medium where they can share their work either for free or paid.
We would like to know your thoughts about it?
We are also looking for name recommendations for the new gallery, So Please suggest.
UPDATE: Here's a preview, its just a design mockup. We are working on functionality.
Regards,
WMSkins Team.

Yes, That would be a great idea!

it is good to have something, however, lately I am making themes and wallpapers for S2U2 which I post here. I see them back on your site, no problem at all, but I think it is not more than polite to add the original author's name on it. I see now several themes, clocks and wallpapers which I photoshopped together ;-) and at some of them the poster (a guy from India) did not mentioned the author. And when you are really going to SELL my themes I want my share, all original PSD files are in my computer, I really do not want you to sell something and make profit using my work without notifying.
You took the themes and skins from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354111&page=714
I made this because I think it is fun and to do something back for this great community, I did not expect to see them on other sites without referring to the author (the one with the green lamborghini on wmskins for example)
Cheers,
Arnold

Hi Arnold,
We at our site respect the original authors & mention their name on the upload which you'll find under each image when you open it up, scroll down to the page for more information & you'll find authors name being mentioned there. What we mention below thumbnails are the uploaders name.
And on our new project we let original authors upload their work, set the price & get paid. We'll not be selling others work.
Hope you like the project,
WMSkins Team.

I would be great to have more of the themes in a centralized place, however charging for themes could be very difficult considering how many talented developers are just giving them away. Those who do make the themes deserve to get their do credit. I am in support of a "theme gallery", but not paying for something we are already getting for free or by donating.

Hi Irishpride,
Our current Gallery is short of many features. We are developing a whole new interface to it & added funtionality. We'll let designers choose whether they want to provide their work for free or for a charge. Therefore, there'll be both free & paid themes in the gallery. If a designer is paid for his work, he'll be more interested in providing more skins & themes, therefore user will get more & more awesome look on the device. Its good for both designers & users.

Well, good to hear that you respect that, I assume you and another one are having this site. So, take a look at this: http://www.wmskins.com/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=19&pos=1
My name is not there. Maybe it is an idea to let the people who post our work to force them to admit something in the field where to put the original authors name. That way, you don't have to check it, and you don't get any mail regarding to his from disappointed authors. (just an idea)
Further on I think to get a lot on one place is good, and as long as the free downloads are better than the ones you have to pay for, your visitors are happy too ;-)
Cheers,
Arnold

We are sorry that your name is not mentioned there, We may not have got it otherwise we would have added it there. Anyways we are working on the new interface which will improve it.

To be honest, I don't like the site as it is now.
You don't even provide a link to the original thread, which is really the least that is expected. But even then I don't think it's good to mirror the files without asking for permission, especially as you force users to register before they can download anything .

We do have input for Source URL when you upload the file. But we have not enabled it to show to the user as we are planning to develop new interface. You'll get this & much more features in the new version.

Dear Arnold,
We welcome you to upload your work to gallery, we'll be more than happy if you upload your work yourself. And when there's new version we'll be honoured to have you there too.

But it's not about anything you're planning in the future - it's about now. I think it's reasonable that I expect you to link to the sources and take the files down or make them available for all users.

Dear Livven,
We have started this thread to announce our new project, I know we have shortcomings in current version which we'll improve in the next version.

We are also looking for Name Recommendations for the new gallery. Please Suggest.

Preview of the Marketplace added in the first post.

My work is already uploaded to your site, but if you are going to use it for the Marketplace we will have to discuss it.
I don't think many people will pay for a skin.

Currently there is no site like this for Windows Mobile & Android. Everyone knows that WM doen't come with a good looking interface, so we think people may be willing to shell a little extra to get a new look for the device. Moreover if the designers get benefit for their work they will providing more great looking themes.

Sure I would be more productive if I would get paid.
I am 16 years old so I have not much money; getting paid for it would be great.
Just tell me when you've finished it!

Well, as long as you don't upload the work of others and then make people pay for it, I'm fine. Also, I don't see you're actively "improving the shortcomings in the current version"...

Name the rom you use and your opinion

Please name the rom you use and your opinion of it.
Its nice to have more insight.

though its only another "what rom is how good" thread its a nice idea
so...
I'm using Energy Rom (Sense2.5)
Opinion:
Very fast but i had 2 SoD's in one Day and there are many things in it i dont need ^^

what a nonsense is this thread????

its the same as his last thread lol... just phrased differently...
he needs someone to tell him what to use... because he's incapable of testing or trying for himself

X-2-TOUCH
"This is basically a revisited TouchX 10.1 rom updated, a keeper for any TouchX 10.1 lovers. (Looks, Speeeeeeeeeed and stability )"
For me is the best because is the fastest ROM ever, have a lock, the visual is so much great, everything works fine , responsive, with no bugs and very fast but you have only to revert the X2 dial to X1 dial because the X2 dial is incompatible with manilla, there's a cab for this.

yabiostarr - You obviously are a noobie and failed to read the forum rules. Let me help you out with a direct link to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=471
Here's a couple excerpts taken from the forum rules to help you understand why several senior members like myself become irritated when you post a thread that has been similarly posted several times before, and yet again...you reword and post a new thread basically asking the same exact thing!
1. Search before posting
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
DO check whether your question has been asked before!
There are some questions that have been asked before several times.
Use the “Search” function on the brown menu bar on the top of the page. There you have the options the have Google search inside XDA-developers site or to use the built-in forum search.
If your search has no/unsatisfying results, try with different keywords.
If your question has been asked, read the thread or use the “Search” function to search through that specific thread.
If you don’t find the answer, try posting in that thread as chances are bigger someone can help you.
Alternatively you can start using the XDA-Developers FireFox & IE Search Bar Plug In.

Hi rickyjune,
for me it is not 100% clear enough what you mean. There are now 4 official threads for the new CHT.
- CHT [Co0kie's Home Tab]
- CHTe [the editor to set things]
- CHTs [the scheduler that automatize things]
- CHTa [the artwork part of CHT, an open thread for all the things you direct too in your posting here]
It this to much? I think no, because evrey part of CHT have so many options. You can't handle this in one thread. Or whatelse do you mean? What we from the CHT-Beta_Team can do is one thread to collect all the CHT threads (links). But i think you can use the search function or start a thread at your own to collect them all. So please bring a litte bit light in my understanding darkness .

The CHT-Apps are form different developers - we are working in team. So you as user mustn't care, who has done for what.
But the Apps have a different Release Life Cycle - only for the 2.x-generation were to Release all at the same time. Later the used combination of CHT+CHTE will be, CHTS is updated in configuration automatically by each new CHT-version. So I can release the new features of CHTS independent from now and can be sure, that it's compatible with CHT.
The graphics .... CHT is Sense - and for skinning Sense we always have much different threads. Some guys made sometime collecting it - whoever wants can do this for all CHT-skinning. There we devs have no influence - we can make it only skinable, that these skins or switching of Skins is possible

Hi rickyjune,
you can start your own thread about that, or wait that the CHT artwork thread is 100% running. But for now and the next week i have no time todo things. But next weekend and the following monday i am free. And then believe me, it will rock .
When you have started your own thread i will collect the url to one of my 1st eight posts. There will be a place for all external CHT 2.0 things. But i have not so much time the next ~12 days, because my work and my childs... they need me too . You see the very angry little girl in my avatar. This is one of them, and then three..uuuaaahh i am afraid about hat faces .
