Really? What commercial/video is that?
As far as I know, I don't think its possible to make a hub larger/smaller or change the style of it. Might have been some commercial trickery or maybe they used an older (or newer) version of Windows Phone.

Its in a couple of At&t commericals. There is also one where the guy is at a dance club which shows a Twitter app with a live tile showing the number of new tweets

I know I definitely saw that Twitter app with the live tile and I went straight to my phone and pinned Twitter to the start screen to see if it did that. Found out it doesn't.
A lot of it is marketing i'm sure. Apps have the power to show Twitter updates, and maybe even be two tiles long, but are there any? No. At least, not yet. Sad.

On social.answer.Microsoft.com they state that wide tile only happens when you pin an artist to the start menu. If I recall the ads it had an image of an artist on the wide tile.
Here is the answer

What I'm about to say is going to stir up a bit of controversy, but Android lacks any sort of good music app. Someone should try to replicate the iPhones Music player UI as best as possible.
man i tried so many times but no developers wanna go that route of duplicating..
so i tried something way different then hero..g1...iphone..
i havent seen one like this..
even if i can trade services/applications (mobile or computer) or something to get atleast a music app for me created lol.. that would be sweet!!!

Then may I suggest that you have bigger buttons. Remember most android phones are 3.2" screens. Simple, discreet, seperate buttons on the bottom.
One app will pwn them all. Tunewiki. 'Nuff said.

Well i dont own a G1 anymore..i now have a cliq
On my old G1 i never got to use earphones because it didnt support the 3.5mm....on the cliq it does! I love it buttt one huge thing is the quality of the sound. I have Bose earphones...they sound really great on my iPod and other MP3's but not on the cliq. The EQ is really nasty..so aanyways my questions are
Is this only on the cliq?
Is it possible to change the EQ at all?
Can someone please make an APP with this feature?
If this CANT be done, then why not?
Hope someone replies
thank you and long live ANDROID!
While your proposed layout looks great, that text is so small that there is not even any point of putting the info on there.
Basically you can get 8 lines of usable text with enough buffer around the words to act as buttons.
In your track list pic you are running 14 lines.
That's like a 10 point font change. And I think the phone's default is like 8 point font.
A lot of the functions you are showing are similar to Tunewiki.
And Tune wiki comes with last.fm built in. Has a built in widget. Not to mention the ability to interface with Flyscreen.
What would your player bring to the table that is new or different other than the basic look?

and as far as the text its just an idea not really much one needed just a feature of marquee type scrollin...

1. IT WILL HAVE A LONG PRESS MENU.. most MENU settings will be similar to original music player..
2. it will be a app in the market...and a .apk to install in here...and if anyone knows or needs it in a .update i guess i can find someone to sign it in there and ill load it..
**only if i can find a developer who is interested in makin a music player app**

yeah i worte my player with the intention of making it capable of doing that, as well as adding songs to the current playlist. it makes the initial writing a bit more complex but real pays off
Off topic slightly, but yes there is an equaliser it is VERY VERY good and really works.
I have some great headphones but always thought the sound from my Hero was lacking in treble.
You can even change the volume level for each channel separately.
Anyway screen shots attached, but wait for it....... it's £18!!!
it should be a good app comin.. cant wait!!

[Q] Contact app from Samsung Galaxy Tab

Hi,
i played this weekend with a couple android devices and i liked the contact app on the samsung galaxy tab. is it possilbe to get it on the desire, or is it special made from/for samsung?
cant find it in the market...
What's so special about it?I've never seen it
DarthGRE said:

i think it's the same as in the SGS...the contact application is very nice..it allows you to swipe right or left in order to make a call or send a sms.. i think if there is a way to import this in to DHD it would be very nice
and i also like the style and layout, but will probably look very tiny on the small display of the dhd.
but i like it. better than the htc one....
Its basically like the iPad's contact app, in landscape mode it shows the contact list down the left side and when a contact is selected it fills the right hand side of the screen with the contacts details. Is that what your after?
yep,
i also like contapps, like the portrait view with the name under it, but unforunately it sorts the contacts only by first name and i would like to have it with last name...
Im not a massive fan of contapps, however i can see the appeal. i would definatly like the Tab's contact app though, and i think with the DHD's 4.3 inch screen, it would work pretty well.
right now contapps is buggy, but i like the idea, the design is a diffrent story, but maybe they enable themes...i like the facebook integration in cotapps more than with the standard dhd people app and facebook for thc sense, because, this f**** always messes up my contact pictures...
i just would like to have the "updates" from facebook not the pictures and anything...
but i think the conact app from the galaxy tab is only for samsung...its not a open app for everybody....
Off, u can always override pic of contacts in edit mode,htc sense.
-- sent from htc z using xda app
yes i can overide it until the next sync, than i have all this nice facebook pictures back from facebook for htc sense or twitter for htc sense...*bullsh..*
i am looking for a goot contacts app who still does integrate stuff like facebook and twitter but let me choose what to do. like in contapps, i can choose which picture gets overwritten by the facebook one...twitter is not yet integrated, but i like the foursquare integration too...
i even looked at sony eriscson xperia 10 today, the integration of the networks look better there, but i could test if it does the same overwritting like htc facebook.
Had a unpacked (preproduction) Galaxy Tab rom laying around from my Galaxy S days (Way.. back) Here's the contact app from it, I assume it doesn't run on the DHD, but who knows, maybe someone can make it work
I don't know how to get it running on the DHD. If you have questions, please contact the Samsung or HTC Helpdesk

Hi team,
Nice app you have there. I like the way you advertise it on your website.
"Dude, I’m so
bored with my mobile
contacts…"
"Try contapps,
it’s free!"
Lol... keep up the great work.
EDIT: in dutch your app and company name sounds a bit funny. In dutch "kont" means "ass" .The pronunciation of "cont" is the same as "kont" in dutch, so in Dutch it sounds like ass apps
I suggest a fusion with a company named "kick" for the dutch app market

You're right. I was a bit to quick. Probably because I assumed beforehand that it cannot be installed.
anyone tried to push it via adb? might try it when i get home
any1 had any luck?
Just trying contapps, very nice i have a few suggestions which i think would work nicely
Using contapps too, but I don't like that I cant sort the contacts by last name and it shows me a lot of the items twice, like home and work address, birthday and so on, I think it's because, I have all my contacts in phone and synced with google too. also would like to link the contacts with other social sites and an overview of it in the info section

Nook Color Teardown

There's a gallery of NC teardown pics at zdnet. XDA isn't letting me post the link because i'm not verified, so maybe someone else can.
This was inevitable, but I hadn't been able to find it until today. I thought others might be interested as well.
http://www.zdnet.com/photos/nookcolor-teardown/487636 here it is
From the pictures I see a good possibility for a bigger battery, or even adding a second one. Lots of room, it won't be pretty but something could be fashioned to fit.

Looks good.
Nice to see some more details about the NC coming out, I have yet to find a *detailed* list of the real hardware specs though.. most of the "tech specs" list mention supported ebook formats...
I ordered one of these the other day via a relative in the US and hopefully will be getting it next week some time.
I will miss the haptic feedback though so am wondering if it will be possible to replace the useless mono speaker with a motor from a mobile phone or something..
/mrintegrity
Cool idea. But it'll only work for typing and maybe apps that have clicking sounds. Still, it should work just fine. Of course you'd have to attach it to the inside real tight. Duck tape won't do

Thanks, my mind is kinda running over with ideas actually
From the teardown pics the internals seem pretty basic and there is hopefully a good bit of space. I would love to know if there are any available usb / jtag / etc headers available though.
If not I was thinking also about the possibility of modifying the usb connector with a switch and a usb 3g dongle inside, I just don't know if there is a 3g dongle that is not based on mini pcie though.
As for the haptic feedback I guess you can just assign a "sound" to everything that should produce feedback.
What about the accellerometer, is that sufficient to control cars in steering wheel based games?
/mrintegrity
To answer your very last question yes.. I have Asphalt5 running and won my first race.

The usb dongle would have to support android. To my knowledge there isn't one... but physically it is possible to stick it inside. They aren't that big, just look big cause of the plastic casing.
I think realistically, for now a bigger battery should be the first thing attempted, given the OS limitations we'd face with other mods. It would also allow us to run the NC at 800 mhz at all times via setcpu.

Did you download from the Gameloft site? I couldnt get the version from my G2 to get past the license check, and the only other version I've tried is a pirated 3.13 version. I would be glad to pay for it if I knew it would work.
Tried disabling the compatibility mode and the top of the screen is blank and I have to press high to get selections to work.
EDIT: I figured it out. You have to load a version made for Samsung Galaxy Tab or Galaxy S. I downloaded a version from Gameloft.com with Galaxy Tab selected as my phone and the game displays fine. If you purchase from their website you have to do some trickery. When they text you a download link, just type the link address from your phone in a browser on the Nook Color and the download should start and install the game.
isolated_epidemic - I'm having the same issue as you with Asphalt, as well as some of the other GameLoft games. Does anyone have a solution for this?

AppsGeyser

Anyone know anything about this program? I looks pretty cool. Maybe you can take a web page and chop it up into a widget. That would be my hopes for it....
http://www.appsgeyser.com/
Wow, zero replies. Guess its not a very good post.
Looks to simple
Ill give it a try and see how it goes.
So far the web Grabber is not working
"Unable to clip content"
Still trying More.
Looks like an easy way for someone to rip off someone else's hard work. Honestly, they even tell you to just copy the code for a widget into it and create an app from it. No mention of intellectual property anywhere.
Yeh pretty much.
Good for people that want website code as an app.
But to be honest its pretty crap...all it does is load a Frame with the webcontent in it.
Here is one i "made" for weather in Perth WA.

Wow, that is some brilliant programming you did there, LOL!
Seriously, you are right. For that use it is almost decent (although their ad banner is a bit large). I just created a couple to check my area traffic cams with, much easier than opening the browser and going to the sites.
Could be fun to mess with.
it would actually be cool if it did what it said it does...
ie make Widgets...
But it doesnt..
Yah, i finally got a chance to try it out. Im sure there are some people who might like it. Its not what i had in mind though. I really need something that will display web content via a widget. Not an app, thats for sure.
I agree that it doesn't do as advertised, but it can really be handy. Just created an "app" for my favorite streaming radio station. Another for Hulu. It works really well!

Great Radon,
Im glad you found a use for it. Im sure i can figure something out for it. What I really want is a widget for Yahoo Sports. It would be nice to have the scores and news all on one widget.
Hi guys,
My name is Andrew, I'm CMO at AppsGeyser.
roguey, I really can't find where you saw that we talked about making widgets for mobile? Please point me.
we convert web widgets to apps, but we don't make mobile widgets. We do not offer anything that we are not really able to do, that's no any sense to start business on lie.
Our platform is not for someone who can use Eclipse and make an app for Android. We help those who have a website and barely or strong enough know HTML. You can quickly build an app. Some users use our platform to build proof of concept. Some just wrap up website and have great results, we constantly publish case studies on our blog.
nunjabusiness, we care about IP and sure we have a mention in our terms that users have to have all required copyright on all content they submit. If we have abuse from legal content owner we are shutting down the app.

Hi Andrew, welcome.
Yes, I did eventually read the T&C and see that you covered that. That is good. Problem I had is that IE9 really doesn't like your site and until I used Firefox I wasn't even able to get started in the creation process to see the T&C. Maybe put a small disclaimer on the main page?
Roguey, sorry but it is a WAY different process to widgetize an app. What they are offering is the opposite, which I honestly can't see any real value in at this point. I (and thousands of other people) would also like this ability and if it were easy, there would already be a way to do it. My understanding is that it is almost as difficult as writing the whole app from scratch.
I do, however, like the ability to turn a website into an "app" even though I could not get the engine to clip anything of value. I was limited to whole sites only for some reason. I am sure it is website-specific and the way the page is set up may keep them from properly capturing the part of the page I want.
It doesnt matter if its a different process.
Its possible, they just need the time do it...
Hi roquey,
Thanks for this brilliant idea, we'll definitely consider it.
What content you wanted to see as a widget?

I would like the abilty to make my own widget to show weather, ie capture a frame from a weather site. Have the option to Have the widget refresh from the net every 15 minutes - hourly, depending on what you want.
Its pretty endless really, Basiclly what your app does now but show it in widget form.
Prob keep the widget size to 4*2 in size, or if u can let the user choose, depending on the size of the frame that is needed to be captured.
There are already more than enough weather widgets, IMHO.
However, a resizable widget that will display (and auto-update) a definable segment of a web page is absolutely something I would pay money for.
Web Clip Widget Trial claims to do this, but I cannot get it to actually display any pages for me yet.
Andrew - It seems to me (a non-programmer) that embedding a webview with the webkit browser engine should be pretty easily doable. The key I think is to be able to snip a section of the page to display with no extraneous graphical elements.
I found this example code http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/android-sdk-embed-a-webview-with-the-webkit-engine/ in fact, I found a ton of tutorials to show how a developer would do this ... but no actual downloadable widget to accomplish it.
From what I can gather, you usually call webview with a specific url to display something in the app so I guess the hardest part would be making an interface to pass that info to the widget and then refresh on interval.
+1 for web clipping widget.....that works.
nunjabusiness
And it matters that there are lots of Weather widgets because???
That would be what i would use it for...i know tons of websites that **** all over fancy widget and the like.
It wouldnt be just weather widgets aswelll...

[Q] Does the One have HTC LinkifyDispatcher/App Assocations?

Does the One have HTC LinkifyDispatcher/App Assocations? Or does it have the standard Android URL handling? I'd expect it to have standard URL handling since Apple/HTC signed the cross licensing deal.
Bueller..... Bueller.....
Someone has to have this phone.... anyone with this phone, can you check this out? In the settings menu, is there an "App Associations" option?
very interested to know as well.. i know the lawsuit was settled and what not, but did they actually take this stuff out of the OS?

From some very careful watching of video reviews on youtube, I didn't see a top level settings menu item for "App Associations", but that doesn't mean it works like it should. With the phones out in the wild, I'd like to have someone with the phone chime in on this. Click a play store or youtube link in an email and see if the respective apps open.

Right, I just wanted confirmation. It'd sure be nice if they'd roll out official patches to revert tje behavipr on the affected phones. I know there are ways to remove it, but most people are not able to do that.
