Hi! I've been noticing that's appear very hard to figure out what is working on each device, with what downloaded files...
Wouldn't be possible to be created, by you Android Masters (since I don't have any skills ) an application that would collect all that information?
The user would install it, use xdandroid, and could submit anytime a score to that combination. And maybe that application could detect if wifi, bluetooth, etc are working! Or send some precious pre-determined logs.
Is that possible? Wouldn't it be useful?
I guess powerful users do logs and use them somehow for debugging. But regular users that want to contribute may have a hard time helping out. And I'm sure many of us really would like to help but don't now how or have a very hard time doing it correctly...
I guess an app of this kind could speed up development, and maybe with minor changes could be reused for new Android releases.
What do you think?
quite agree with you
Hey guys!
No opinion? Not even one developer to say it's useful or it's dumb?

I'm interested in developing for Windows Mobile myself, and I don't even have a mobile device yet. I've looked into it a little bit, and it sounds like it'll be a little bit of work to get everything setup, but once it's setup it shouldn't be too hard.
I found a lot of info directly from Microsoft. Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsmobile/default.aspx and check out the links in the development section on the left.
It looks like you'll need the SDK, the .NET framework, an emulator to simulate different devices running Windows Mobile, and Visual Studio .NET. Visual Studio may not be absolutely necessary, but I'd guess it'll make things easier.
Hi everyone!
Since I have been developing software for more than six years now I installed Eclipse and the SDK yesterday out of curiosity.
Now to motivate myself to really learn developing for the platform I have to have a little pet project ;-)
I thought of something like a manual GPS logger, a program that you start, it gets a GPS fix and asks you for a comment. Then this data is saved and you can later export to KML, CVS and perhaps others.
My idea behind this is to save battery life when compared to loggers which save in intervals of i.ee 5 seconds. Furthermore I think it would be a more easy way to later identify or search for a spot if you have just one point with the comment "Here be dragons" instead of a trace around the Lonely Mountain ;-)
So, as stated above, I just installed the SDK and Eclipse yesterday and did the first Hello World, so do not except to see anything within the next few days. I just wanted to hear some general remarks or if there already is an app like this out there which I just missed.
So any comments are welcome and I will keep you up to date if I start developing this.
Kind Regards,
Thanatos81
I wrote something like this so I could more easily add POIs to OpenStreetMap.org
droidcollector on android market.
Oh, okay. Well then I will have a look at it. After that I will decide whether I pursue the idea Thanks for your reply!
Hi!
I have been on this forum for sometime now and developers here have given me so many apps, tricks, twists that I am proud of my winmo.
I have one annoying problem which I presume is faced by all winmo users. i.e. ppc freezing on you. all we can do is remove battery and restart. Its not at all the end of life, but wont it be charm if we had an app that prevented freezing?
The idea I have come up with is - how about an app that can kill all tasks/processes and bring winmo to the state it is at start up? i know task manager can solve this issue if one particular task is a pain but we generally dont know what freezes winmo. In windows desktop we can use control+alt+delete to end all frozen windows when it hangs, is it possible to create something for winmo?
I have no technical expertise, but testing. So if moderators or developers think Im taking rubbish, please delete this thread. I will test if anyone can make this happen. I presume it could be a roughly made with some reg edits that go off when phone is unresponsive for say 20secs?
It could be done but its going to take sometime.

Time is not an issue at all! But if it's possible, it will solve the issues esp. when new roms are flashed, when some buggy softwares or apps are installed but we don't know which ones.. and it will save the irritation and damage caused by removing battery and restarting!
I believe most of the developers are busy enjoying their weekend, but will soon get some encouraging replies?!
Don't you think Microsoft would have thought of this when they developed the operating system ? Not like some backyard developer is gonna develop the holy grail of winmo applications that stop winmo from being.. winmo.
Closing the thread as it's going to be pointless.. and in the wrong section to boot
Hello All,
I have two small App Idea's that I want to implement on the Windows Phone 8 platform. The problem is I'm a little unsure where to start for resources.
The issue however is that for all the Dev resources MS has given us, they mostly start at weird points and has no or little impact on where I want to, or figured one should start. So stuff like, setting up a DB, or Using an Azure Server etc.
If not that, most other help I've found have been off point starting as well. XDA's own vids start off with OAuth etc, which are all great, but I'm not even near there yet for what I want to do.
Most other guides, like even MS's own recent JumpStart videos all hop and skip over certain things. So you're following along (Or I'm trying to) and they jump forward, skip tasks and pull out pre-done code so I assume I need different foundation before I can jump in at their stage.
So, I have my idea of what I want to do, buttons, calculator, lists. But I don't know how to start from some basic things. And I am a little reluctant to jump in to what they have for WP7 cuz I don't want to use anything that's been deprecated.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Check out LinkedIn. I started a group a long time ago for Windows Phone developers and enthusiasts. It's filled with programmers, Microsoft people, and there's lots of good references and people to ask.

Thanks for the reply, any specific link to this LinkedIn... I gotta admit, I never thought of LinkedIn as a place for help in this kind of thing...
As an update though, I already have started on the app I had in mind and now have some specific "How-do-I" questions, but undure where to post these. Thanks again however.
Here's the group. There are some pretty active members who are programmers.

As weird as it may sound: I would suggest you get a beginners book on programming C# on the Desktop. That way you should learn to program from the ground up and get a solid foundation on how the language works (classes, properties, attributes, events, etc.)
Everything else later on is different libraries you will use. That is what most of the introductory videos are about. They show you which classes you use for certain functionality, how you properly wire everything up so it works together.
When you have the basics of how C# works (and most current programming languages like Java but also Objective-C or C++ share the same concepts although there are differences) the best way would be to start with a small project and ask questions when you get stuck or first have a look at StackOverflow if the same question has already been asked and answered.
Teaching someone how to program from the ground up in a forum only rarely works in my experience. But the previous poster might have had different experiences.
i have heard someone that wp8 has still not been hacked?? is it true??

That is true. Microsoft has made it even more difficult for us to find working exploits in order to do things such as modify the registry and modify look & feel. It will be quite some time before real progress is made. I wouldn't expect for anything to happen soon, but please keep checking at these forums to see if anything has been done.

@snickler: stupid little question to that: shouldn't it be possible to edit the keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive?
as far as I know from Windows 7 and 8, editing this hive doesn't need administrative privileges. Am I wrong?

With WP8, policies are enforced to limit modification to just about ALL parts of the registry. With what I've seen, certain apps (Nokia apps for instance) have specific certificates installed that gives them a specific right to a registry key. Basically Microsoft really didn't want us touching ANYTHING.

another silly question is windows phone 8 ever gonna get hacked? I mean did you find anything so far? it seems that you cannot touch the registery in no way ... in other way you cannot send fake xml to phone that it can accepted as developers? (can't we make a fake webservice?!)
well then how can we access this?! did you get any attention for that? how long do you think it will take to get this windows hacked? (even an approximate time will do help much )
thanks
To be fair, that's the same as it was on WP7; apps couldn't even modify HKCU directly (short of being elevated by WP7 Root Tools). The early registry editors used high-privilege OEM drivers, not their own permissions. I'm hopeful there will be *something* we can tweak, but it won't be much until we find some EoP exploit.
EDIT: Asking "how long" is a ridiculous question. It's like asking how long until the current iOS version is jailbroken, or something like that. Nobody knows. Nobody can know. If we had the answers, it wouldn't be research. There could be a breakthrough this afternoon; hell, there could have been one last night. We could keep pounding on it for years. There's no point in even attempting a guess. This isn't something iterative, something where progress can be measured.
the fact that some of the guys have been able to find a way to read (but not write) to the registry is a start, but there's still a long ways to go. Considering Windows Phone 8 has been out since what, oct or nov of last year? There's even HeathCliff that has taken a glimpse in the .cabs. There's a way to run programs out of the sandbox, but even that is limited. Snickler wrote a registry reader, but doesn't allow editing of dword . And we've got GoodDayToDie's Webserver that *JUST* recieved the ability to read the registries, but its very picky. Slowly things are coming together and eventually with everyone looking, someone will stumble upon something. It's taken months to get this far.
Working on

All Windows Phone Comunity are trying to hack the OS, but for a lot of problems (secure boot, ecc), it's so hard.
Essentially the current roadblocks for flashing custom roms are Secure Boot and BitLocker, not to mention knowing how to write back to the new ROM files. For accessing internal apps and stuff, we are having trouble finding how to set/change permissions. There's a ton listed in the registry, but its not fun finding out the how atm.
