Phone GuitarTab: open source guitar tablature viewer

Guitar tab viewer for Windows Phone. Currently supports guitar pro 3,4,5 (.gp3, gp4, .gp5) and text formats. It's developed in C# (Silverlight). Provides search&download tab/images engine (uses ultimate-guitar.com and last.fm).
I have no time to finish it and have no opportunity to add to marketplace (I live in Belarus). So I’ve decided to make it an open source project.
Briefly speaking this project consists of the following parts:
Guitar tab search&download engine: uses web services of ultimate-guitar.com site for direct searching and downloading.
Guitar Pro parser: can open gp3, gp4, gp5 files (Guitar Pro)
Guitar Pro viewer: can show tablature from guitar pro files using custom viewer (features of Silverlight are used)
Text tab viewer: can show tablature in text based formats
The following tools and technologies are used here:
Development approach: Silverlight
MVVM framework: Microsoft Prism
Special controls: LazyListBox, LongListSelector
Currently there are some issues and improvements that should be fixed before it is publish:
Improve guitar tab viewer and parser
Add authenticate engine for guitar-ultimate.com (token is required for downloads)
Fix issues with tombstoning and back button press
Source codes: phoneguitartab.codeplex.com
Screenshots: dropbox.com/gallery/20298658/1/PhoneGuitarTab?h=c75baf

Thanks for the gift !
I'll download it to test, upgrade and maybe publish !
Regards

Sounds great! Hopefully some devs pick it up and run with it.

This is something that I am extremely interested in. I am subscribing to this thread, I look forward to seeing this Project Develop. I use the program Guitar Pro 6 all the time on my PC. I would absolutely love a mobile version on my hTC HD7. Best of Luck... And please do not get discouraged or lose interest. This is definitely something I want to see through till the end.

Nice! I'll check it out when I get home.

Is this only going to be available for people with unlocked phones? Or does the developer plan for the marketplace

I haven't developer account for Marketplace because I live in Belarus and there are some problems with it. Sorry...
I hope this application will be developed as open source project. I will fix some major issues in my spare time: right now I'm investigating how to fix issue with tab downloading from ultimate-guitar.com.
The decision about sharing the source code was made on the spur of the moment and I can provide some comments about my code for developers if it is necessary.

1.adobe flash can export gif instead of swf.
2.there are apps that convert avi to gif, just google
3.it is also possible to convert flv(youtube) to gif files

Hi, I noticed on your link that the "Terms of Service" do nothing. Is there a link this is supposed to got to? When clicking on it nothing happens.
Also, I think this is a good idea for boot animations, but looking through your previous posts, you seem to be requesting help a lot, (not that that is bad, but none of it is relative to this). How did you come up with this site, and where are the uploaded files going to?

Thanks for reminding me about that link. I removed it
My background is mostly web development and system managements in php and linux(most redhat and suse). So making this site was not that hard. I had the idea for a while, I only decided to get it done about two weeks ago. I found a few documents describing the bootanimation.zip structure and found a very nicely detailed document inside the atrix bootanimation which gave me a lot of details I wanted. The rest was simply playing around in php and linux to create a simple version of aboota.
For now I am keeping the files on my server so in near future when search and browse are complete we can share our creations with others, and hopefully on other phones too.

Cool. Thanks. I'll try your site when I have time at my pc.

[WP 7] BSA Eagle Tracker v1.1

BSA Eagle Tracker is a program I make that lets a boy scout track his progress towards eagle scout. The program is meant to be an unofficial means to track requirements done for the various ranks. The official scout handbook is still the official way to record that a requirement was done, but this gives boys a way to track their progress so they can "pocket" it and take it anywhere. The program was designed for offline use and to be totally independent of the Internet, so boys can use it "in the field" where they might not have the scout handbook with them. All of the requirements contained in the scout handbook for each rank are found in this app.
In the future, I plan to include the WHOLE merit badge requirements book and the scout awards, including religious awards.
More information on the program can be found on my blog entry here.
The link to download is: http://bit.ly/Mm1Upo
Update (6-25-2012): version 1.1 is out, with the merit badge section layout redesigned and some other bug fixes; a fix for an obscure bug I recently found it it is coming soon

--reserved--

Version 1.1 of BSA Eagle Tracker is out on the windows phone marketplace, with a redesign of the merit badges and some other bug fixes. Download the updated version using the same link as in the first post.

[APP] - Bus Finder - [R] - 21 May 2012

Name: Bus Finder
Lots of people in India travel by bus and use the popular site REDBUS to do their searching and booking. It was a surprise to me that I couldn't find an app for the same in iOS or Android. I decided to do it on WP7 and claim UNIQUE for the platform
This application is meant for users from INDIA only. It lets you search bus between cities and view its details. What it does not is let you book through app. I have left that to internet explorer do it. I will direct you to a page where you choose seats and enter details and book the ticket.
The UI is meant to be as metro as possible, I would welcome your views and feedback on this application.
You would need a developer unlock phone to sideload the application, it does NOT need any interop unlock or full unlock to launch it.

1.The Search Result page is very hard to read.
2. The background image is distraction.

thanks for your feedback. do you mean the background image in results page or search page? I tried to introduce an image fit for the theme..
Regarding search result, is it the font size or the colored tile?

Both. Also check on light theme, you will know what I want to say.
For tiles and text, the combination is not right. Fonts are too small, plus the tiles are not making any sense there.
