The new thread for Cinemo is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516695
If you download it, could you please let me know what you think about it? This is my first WinMo app and I would like it to be as great as it can be.
Thanks in advanc,
Daniel Gary
I love where this app could go.
Suggestions:
* Rotten Tomstoes or Metacritic ratings and sortings
* Favorite theater settingd
* Next day or week times
* Imdb link
Thanks for the program!
Wow. pretty good app. its not heavy and closes easily. is this seriously your first? the only thing it lacks that i could think of is landscape support and a mileage option so i can search a few miles outside of my zip. im in st louis so i have the option of theaters in illinois and missouri. it wont read both. but thats nitpicking on my part. great app. and good timing also. my pocket express movie showtimes expired today...
Looks like is for USA only; any plans for a worldwide version?
I tried to install in a spanish rom touch pro. The installation was ok, but when I try to open the app it gives an error...
I`m very interesting in this app...
Thank you in advance
Regards
@jesusishere
I love your ideas for the most part. I am not sure I can pull next day or next week showtimes(it depends on if a theater reports them early or not). But I certainly like the idea of a rotten tomatoes or metacritic score and an imdb link. Thanks for the input!
@justin747
I hadn't really considered landscape support that necessary since it doesn't require in text input throughout the app. What would you use it for exactly?
@DANDANA
I would love to implement a worldwide version. It's certainly something to think about
@jrbarricane
What error did you get when you opened the app?
Well, if i try to open the app without a connection, it gives me an error, but I can't tell you becouse it says that i need to have the .neterrormeseges... or something like that, installed (not the .net 3.5 that I do have it...).
If I open the app with a connetion (activesync or wifi) then it opens, but when I try to see the file of a movie, then gives me same error...
Sorry for my horrible english... I do my best...

Yes, I just found the issue with movies with no showtimes in the area giving an error. I'm working to fix it right now.
also do you think you could possibly add:
Directions to the theater?
searching by specific movie? (To see where it is playing)
Searching by specific theater? (That one special theater you like)
Ill let you know of anything else i can think of.

"Searching by specific movie"
Isn't that how it works right now? You scroll to the movie you want, pick it, and there is a dropdown box of theaters to pick from?
As to the theaters, that is certainly something I have been planning on. It shouldn't take too much work.
yeah sorry i just did not realize the drop down box lol. Good work i love the app so far.
Outstanding application! Works fine on my Touch Pro.
Many Thanks!
I was thinking about writing something just like this. Awesome job. Where do you get your theater list?

Yea good point. i used it earlier today with great results. didnt even notice landscape was missing. i love the simplicity of it. i can find a movie time in like 20 seconds.
sorry... double post
works for canada?
I used to spend so much time trying to find movies in google through opera mobile!!
Way to go
how do you "enter" or select the new zip code, i see how to enter a new one, but not how to make that the zip code to find movies for
thanks
is this for the usa only??? cause im in australia and we only have 4 number postcodes.. hey can some1 try this for me plzz and reply back to see if it works with australia.. postcode 4001 thanks
I was bored and wanted a learning exercise so I wrote this because I always wanted had it on all my other phones.
Basically a stick note widget. A short title and then note body. Click on the note to display the body. Body text is fully link enabled.
Yes I know its not perfect and for some reason the H builds see the initial entry screen very thin ( this doesnt happen on G builds and the emulator )
FUTURE: Select your note colour.
Who knows what else.
Version 1.01: Ability to edit notes. Long press expanded note. I am still not 100% happy with the look of the expanded note.
Version 1.0.3: Added cork board background to expanded note - much better look. Used jpeg images app size now 1/4 what it was.

Hey!
Just installed it, it's looking good and actually pretty useful
Thanks for sharing.
Could someone upload it to a site that the g1 can download from? I would like to try this now.
reached download limit - could you put it somewhere else?
would like to try it
Cannot download
Awww, i would like to try this widget out, thank you for your hardwork. This widget would be very useful to me as i could see wat is my homework lol
Can you attach your widget to this thread? should be easier to pick it up
Can you post another link, first link either doesn't work or reached download capacity.
This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.
This limit is reached.

I am unable to get the file to attach here - regradless of making it a zip or what. so find it here instead, sorry bout that.

Fantastic little app. Thank you!
great little widget. I'm sure you're still improving things. my suggestion for now would be to change the pop-up note to look more like the little one. Something like this. http://freedomfighterskateboards.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/post-it-note.jpg
Great application. Can you do some modifications like editing the note, and bigger on screen size? It is verry useful. By the way, i can host it - if you need hosting place, please write me private message.
Works great. The intial launch screen looks a little odd but it works well!

I agree. Since the pop-up note is small why not make the input area the same size as the note. What about a way to edit the note? it would be nice to have a way to edit the text once it's been posted.
Just thoughts .. Thanks for sharing!!
I dl'ed this to my sd card, but I'm unclear on how to install. Sorry noob question I know.
DUDE!
This is a great concept...
I would think that you are still developing the UI and adding the ability to edit a note on-the-fly... having access to the live text would be great for cut and paste functions.
I look forward to the next update...
This should be a "STICK" topic... Get it... Sticky
I crack myself up
Good Work man...
That's a cool little app right there. Good job man!

Provided you have ADB Setup... (if not google it)
Connect the phone to the PC-
Open a command prompt
Type
adb remount
adb install C:\(where ever you have the file stored)
And PESTO!!! you have your sticky note widget...
That's how I installed it
DUDE.
This is pretty frickin' awesome.
Well done.
*********************************************************
2009-07-13 PLEASE USE THE NEW MAIN THREAD FOR FLIX HERE!!!
Flix has been updated today to 1.0.7.0
*********************************************************
Hi all.
I've decided to upload the first public release of "Flix". It's a movie listings app i've written, inspired by Cinemo, but for a UK audience. Be gentle with the comments, as it's my first foray into the Compact Framework!
First off, the features:
- Yahoo based
- Search based on Postcode or town
- GPS "Where am I" lookup
- Google Maps link from Cinema Info screen
- Call cinema direct from the app.
- Movies list cast info, Synopsis, runtime, and (optionally) a poster if Yahoo has one.
There is a little more detail on my blog (along with instructions) as I've just added it on there too.
I'm contemplating changing from Yahoo as their postcode lookups seeem to be getting more vague by the day. My own (PE8) has yielded nothing for the past couple of days even though it did previously - so if you find nothing matches up, check the Yahoo page to see what it does at that end.
You'll need to have CF3.5 installed for Flix to work.
Anyway, I'm happy to hear of any comments you have - if you have problems then let me know and I will try and help of course, and suggestions are always welcome too. As ever, if you find it useful then please consider donating!
Thanks
****UPDATE 2009-06-28****
Flix has just been updated! Changes:
-Now supports France and Germany
-Google Maps loading should work if it's installed in non-std locations
-Where Am I function now uses online Geocoding to work in the new countries
-Some improvements to parsing behind the scenes
I do still plan to update it to work in North America, however the Yahoo page is quite different so it's more work. Lots of Euro countries use the same layout as the UK so it's pretty quick to adapt. Expect Spain and Italy next...
As ever, if you find this free app of use, a small donation is appreciated (link above!)
This works really well for me. Nice one!
hey
this works very well..
in fact you need to say that its for more than uk. I am in west of ireland and it picked up one cinema. So it works for me too. I would like it to pick up the other major cinema though but still its very good... well done
Hi jmbilings, nice to see this hitting the streets, Great job so far.
Working well on my Diamond.
Oh and why not in dev and hacking?
Hi James, put a heads up over in the diamond forum.

same and im in N13, yet it still finds the nearest one (cineworld enfield)...
an idea: For future releases would it be possilble to have multiple cinemas saved, for example, it will find one near me, but not another near me, thus i have to go through the update process and lose the first cinemas results.
other than that, great app man, really useful

I think it is a problem on yahoos end, try going to their website and entering your postcode there and see what it returns, I seem to get better results if I configure flix using the name of my city rather than my postcode.
great app but unfortunately I'm in the usa, cinemo is alright but it feels like a first step and daniel gary is great for filling the gap in the app market with a needed app like this, but his is limited so far.
would it be very hard for you to tweek this a little to make it work in the states here. I really like your interface and features.
thanks
I installed this last night. What a great app! Works a treat. Many thanks for a very useful and easy to use application!!
Hi all - sorry i've not been back to check on this thread, I'm stupid busy at work and my home-time is currently spent sorting a website for a mate who was made redundant
Anyway - I still have plans for Flix ,including support for other countries. I didn't do the US out of the box because Cinemo existed, but if it's not too hard to add I will do, as it gives folk the choice.
Thanks to all who have tried it so far!
Problem with listing by cinema
First of all: great and very useful app.
One problem though: when I click on 'cinemas' and then 'Odeon Wimbledon' and then the clock icon for listings the software just crashes. Any idea why?
Thanks for looking into this issue, Alex.

Hi, I entered "SW19 2DX" as post code and it happened, but also when entering just "Wimbledon". I'm using this app on a HTC Touch HD by the way...
I also tried updating all data because I thought it might have been a problem with the data download - but unfortunately the crash still happens...
OK, i've just tested that here and it works fine.
I think it's not a data problem but something else.
What resolution is the HD offhand? There is a little bit of code that makes the button "bounce" bigger and smaller when tapped for UI feedback and I wonder if that does something odd on a different resolution... do you get any details of the actual error? (it may have a button at the bottom for more info; although you might need to install an extra .NET cab to give full details)
Have you tried going the other way as well? i.e. look up a movie and click the clock; does the same happen?
Cheers, and sorry you're having trouble!

Thanks so much for looking into this for me. The Touch HD has a native resolution of 480x800 pixels. When I go to a movie and then click on the clock it shows the times at Odeon Wimbledon just fine.
And very interestingly it now WORKS via the cinema route as well - how odd is that? Maybe because 'Wimbledon' only uses 1 cinema, whereas the post code found quite a few?
I'm just trying the post code again just to be sure...downloading data as we speak...
That is odd; I used the postcode as you mentioned and I get several cinemas:
Cineworld Wandsworth
Odeon Streatham
Empire Sutton
Odeon Wimbledon
However they all list showtimes without problem...
If it still happens, see if you can get any details on the error, otherwise i'm a bit stumped!
All good now, data download finally finished (b****y GPRS here at work) and no crashes anymore...
Maybe me restarting the device in the morning helped.
Sorry for troubling you and thanks again for trying to help. Keep up the good work as this is a great app!!!
I searched the forum to see if someone had done this and couldn't find it. I back ported the weather widget from 2.0 in case anyone is interested (works fine on donuts). This is the beginning of my development work. Hope this helps!
Please just take the .zip file and rename it to .apk
copy to your sdcard and install with any file explorer or
connect your device to your pc with development enabled
type "adb install MotAccuWeatherWidget.apk"
Red
G1 with latest Cyan
Thank you to this site and all the developers for their inspiration and hard work.
This has been around for a while...
Good work, though. Kudos and thanks for the effort.
Oh, sorry. I guess I'll probably get flamed by like 30 ppl now. lol. I guess I will try my hand at the Dock applications, unless that has been done too?

If anyone flames you, they're stupid. You did good work, even if it was in vain. Car Dock has been ported to Donut, though I don't think the little nightstand Dock from Droid is running on anything prior to 2.0... Not sure, though, as it doesn't interest me all that much.
thanks for the encouragement. is there a list of things that show what needs to be back ported or which ones have already been? I want to contribute.

Not to my knowledge. It might not be a bad idea for one of the leading devs to start a thread here on things we want from new phones to run on our phones, and check them off as they are accomplished. 75% of the list would be from the Nexus One, at the moment. You really want to help? See what you can do to get Launcher2 from the Nexus working on Dream... Just changing the build.prop doesn't work, so we'll have to fix errors one by one. Hope you're better at coding than I.
There is also more info in the Dream app section, where these apps are usually released...good work, keep it up!
Hi, there's a version that does not work with 1.6 (only 2.X). Which version is?
BR.
I'm not sure. I pulled this weather widget from Eugene373's AOSP Rom port and hex edited the AndroidManifest.xml to make the MinSDK 3 instead of 5. I can't tell you much more than that. I hope this helps you.
Red.
Give this widget a shot and see if it's the one you are looking for. At least one person might make use of it. haha

So, does anyone know if this will work on 1.6? Cyanogen MOD ROM?
It will work on any 1.6 rom. I am running Cyanogen's 11.1 (most recent.) This widget typically works on most people's "custom roms" as long as the 1.6 base is the same, it's just that there is a MinSDK value that prohibits users on a lower SDK from using the application. I dropped that value to 3, so I think that it should also work on hero roms (1.5 cupcake base) if someone likes the graphics on this widget better than the weather app that is included. Hope this helps.
Red.
Ps. I am going to be trying my hand at creating themes instead. My only experience with programming was C++, Pascal, and Visual Basic and that was close to 8 years ago! lol. I'm a little outdated as far as Java goes.
I'm really looking forward to using Stericson's Metamorph. It is such a great effort for theme development.
i sure could use it im new to xda im non root for now, but i would like to make a few nice add ons to my mt3g till i get the guts to root. is thr some good stuff here for a non root like me
Awesome job. I appreciate the work.
Odd question though, what do you do in the process of back porting? I'd love to learn..
Nice Widget, thanks. I was using weathereye before. I like this one better.
Thanks. In the case of this widget, it was ok to backport it because it doesn't call on any other functions that are proprietary to a specific rom (ie. Happenings widget from Blur calls tons of other functions in the home.Blur). There are a few places online when you look up backporting (I'll try to remember to post the links for people.)
You want to start by unziping the aplication you want to backport. Just rename it to a .zip file.
When you look in the file, you will see AndroidManifest.xml. This file has been compiled out as a binary file so you can't read it like a normal .xml file. You want to then download AxmlPrinter2.jar and run that to change the AndroidManifest.xml to AndroidManifest.txt by typing "Java -jar AmxlPrinter2.jar AndroidManifest.xml > AndroidManifest.txt"
The hard part is to find the byte offset in the AndroidManifest where it says the MinSDK value is. The MinSDK value needs to drop from 6 or 7 down to "2" so that you can use the widget on Cupcake or higher. There is a program online and I will post the link when I get home that you use with Eclipse to find the byte offset and then you have to use a Hex editor to change the value in the original .xml file.
Once you use the hex editor and save your changes, you zip up all the files and use the apkbuilder.exe that is in the sdk tools directory by typing "apkbuilder application_name.apk -z application_name.zip"
that will make an apk from a zip file and then you right-click and resign the apk file. From there, you just copy it to your sd card and you know the rest.
It is a pretty dirty and painful approach to porting an app. That is why I am more interested in working on themes. You can just unzip the apk's you want to use and edit the /res directory and then rebuild the app and sign it. Photoshop works great for it.
I'm planning on making a theme/rom that uses hero (1.5) for a base, but slimming it down and using widgets that are smaller like the one that I ported and changing a lot of the graphics for the clocks and such.
I hope this helps for anyone interested in developing.

Enjoy everyone
Great news..
I'm gonna test as soon as i get home
Hmm i hope i can somehow be able to install this on my mango beta lg e900 without going back to pre nodo... Thank you for the great work!
Do you have any plans for a snes emulator too?
Will check this out. Thanks!
Working fine here, hope you will be able to fix sound too =)
On my Trophy, I do notice a significant speed improvement when I select the "Faster screen" option. What does this do differently? Is there any downside to using this option?
Very Nice.
But maybe you could add a description how to add Games, as it took me a while to figure out what to do (I guess I'm not the only one)
Error
Hi!
I get this error when trying to add an .xml....
Can't load the game list! The remote server returned an error: NotFound
Could you please do a step by step tutorial on how to do the gamelist... and explain what is the "URI" you need to enter into warios jewels settings?
Thanks for your time!
http://gamelistcreator.codeplex.com/
There is what you have to to to create a GameList.
Afterwards - Upload your "Covers" and "Roms" folders to a webserver, as well as the GameList.xml
Then just enter this URL in the Game Settings. Et volià.
Where is the .xap? I'm getting the .zip, but there is no XAP file inside it.

Thanks...tried the Gamelist and added some roms... I have now ready the 3 files you said....
but didnt understand what you really meant when you said of uploading it to a "webserver"....you mean ...megaupload/rapidshare...and that sort of?...
or...is it another thing?
sorry for my poor knowledge on the subject...
new to this world
Thx!
You'll need a real webserver where you can access those files. So Rapidshare, e.g. is not an option.
Just wondering, what does the little Floppy Disc button do on the Individual Game page? It's greyed out for all of my games.

We currently do not but that is a good idea . If we do make one I will be sure to contact you XD
I have an issue with the GameList.xml.
I created it with "GameListCreator", then I redirected "GameList.xml", "Roms" and "Covers" with HFS (HTTP File Server), shut off the Firewall, pointed to the URL of the XML but I obtained the following error :
"Can't load the game List ! The format of the GameList is not valid !
NullReferenceException"
I tried your GameList.xml but I have the same issue.
So I tried to replace "Roms\" by "Roms/" and "Covers\" by "Covers/" in the xml file, unfortunately nothing change
Thanks for your work and help
love the website! amazing silverlight
gonna try the emu soon, much appreciate your work!
keep it up!
