[THEME ELEMENTS] Zune HD Basics

I'm sure you've already seen my post on the font from the zHD. If not see here.
Anyway, I don't have the expertise nor the time to make a full Zune theme. Here are some resources I made that could be useful if anyone gets the initiative to make a theme *wink wink @cacheinjection* lol. Anyway, I know at least one other person had expressed interest in this in the other thread.
I've attached the android-logo-shine.png file with a Zune gradient, and two boot screens designed as splash1 screens for now. Feel free to use them as you like, just give me credit please. I will be updating this post as I add more items to it.
Feel free to contribute some of your own icons, next up I have some media icons. If I finish my homework, they'll be up later tonight, if not then it'll be tomorrow night.
I AM VERRRY INTERESTED. My brother has a zune hd and i'm jealous
So yea. Very interested. very.
Cacheinjection is Da Man!

Ditto. Cache rocks, and yeah I love my zHD. At first I was wary of switching from carrying my iPhone to my G1 and a Zune, but the Zune media interface & the subscription service is WAY better than the iPhone media ecosystem, and they have way better sound quality. Then of course Android could kick the living crap out of any iPhone on Earth.
Also, I just now finished my homework, and since I have 3rd qtr finals tomorrow I'm gunna catch some z's. New icons tomorrow.
Very Nice! I like it.

What app did you put on market that has enough downloads to get you a N1?

Looking forward to see your theme. Since you develop for the Epic. Also can't wait to see the icons
I'm currently changing elements on my phone to have more Zune/WP7-like looks. I posted screenshots of my homescreen in the show-off thread, but I'm about to start attempting to make my notifcation bar and tray look a bit more Zune and/or WP7 ish. I'll post whatever images I come up with, starting with my boot animation (based on OP's android_logo_shine.png).

I guess this is my goodbye too

well i got a hero today, so i guess this is a farewell of sorts.
i have been running this for a long time like 1.0 days and i have seen tons of faces come and go, and dev or not you all are awesome.
but i would like to thank all the devs past and present for making this kick so much ass.
i will still swing by often as my vogue will still be around.
thanks for everything
I hope you had a good time with us! Enjoy your new device!
best of luck in Hero-land. Make sure to check in with us from time to time.
congrats on the new phone. i got a hero and if you need any help man just pm me
This is my goodbye as well, got my evo when it was released and have been thrilled with it. I do miss my vogue and you guys though.

[game] Armed! - Starcraft style

I do not know if this has been posted before, but Armed has been released about a week ago. I've been playing it like crazy ever since. Has multiplayer, turn based, etc. CPU AI is pretty hard too.
Check it out here.
http://www.armedgame.com/
wow
looks very nice, im gonna test it out. thank you!
xontec

A lot of reviews say it crashes on startup!
be sure to trial it, if possible, before you waste $4.00USD lol.

It still has a few bugs which may result in crashes every now and then. But it's very stable most of the time. At least for me. Its developers are working hard on some updates that address the bugs/crashes and add new features and maps. I for one don't regret spending 4 bucks for this - in my opinion - awesome game.
I haven't played/test it. I mostly just did some research of reviews. Seeing a good many people say it crashes during start up. They can't play the game. So, just a friendly advisory!
Try powering off your phone. It also has issues for region not being in English/US. So if that happens change your region I think. Otherwise, just wait for the fix.
I love the game, and $4 is nothing for this.
Hi guys.
I'm one of the developers of ARMED!
We're first time smartphone developers... we did a little Java phone development in like 2004, but most of our experience is in PC and console games. Try as we might we had some crash bugs... most of them related to non-US regions.
We spent alot of time before release testing the stability of gameplay... we ran thru hundreds of thousands of automated games driven by special stress test AI, but we made some rookie mistakes in other areas... like not testing the game in different locales.
It also doesn't help that it wasn't till yesterday that we got our first stack traces from Microsoft.... that was almost 2 weeks since our game was up on the marketplace. That's way too slow for the pace of moblie development IMO... we've learned our lesson there are have integrated Bugsense (google it... forum won't let me post links) for the next release.
Anyway the 1.1 release just appeared in the marketplace and it addresses all the bugs we knew of as of a week ago. I'm sure we'll find more, but at least the locale and a couple of dumb crash bugs were squashed and should make it playable for everyone.
Thanks for trying ARMED!
i like the graphics and control. Keep up the godo work.
Are the price depends on our country that we are residing or it's in standard USD.I mean for all the apps in the markrtplace.
Question to the developer:
I am an indie developer with Full-time job, and have my own game on Marketplace as well. How do you promote your game, and do you earn something for all hard work you put into the game ? As I see it right now, it would be really hard to make a living from it.
My game is free (with ads) and recently I added non-ads version of the game for people to donate something, or to disable ads.
What I found out is that from ads you earn ~0
Btw. As I said before your game is really an Eye candy
@Ttblondey
The developer has control over pricing in each region individually if they want to set them.
In our case we set the price for the US region and let it automatically set the equivalent price in all other regions.

I sort of agree... it depends on your app/game. Most of what i see on the marketplace are things one could build in a couple of hours or clones of other apps/games. It is hard to rally users behind you if you don't have a unique and high quality product.
At the current sales/ad rate we could not support our entire company (6 people) with ARMED! sales on WP7 alone. We could support one employee... but not 6.
To me this is a victory and shows the potential of WP7 in the future considering that its only 1%-2% of the smartphone market. With the push MS plans to make over the next few months i expect our revenue to at least double if we can keep the attention of the audience with updates and improvements.
That all said... we are looking at ports to other platforms to maximize revenue from the ARMED! brand and core tech. We're not ready to disclose what platforms those are yet... but it won't be Android.

We're struggling with our ads as well. It is all new territory for us, so i'm giving it some time before i pass judgement.
Our 1.0 release was missing ID_CAP_WEBBROWSERCOMPONENT which seems caused the ad network to not show near as many ads as it could. Still even after fixing this in 1.1 on my personal phone i still don't see ads at times which is really confusing to me. Still i see ad revenue improving, but its barely enough to by coffee for the office.
There is money to be made with ads... people are doing it now. Also WP7 often has a higher revenue on the same amount of impressions... but you have to get impressions.
If your game/app is not attracting users then you won't make money with ads. You need to be seeing 50K to 100K impressions per-day to really support yourself with ads alone. Most developers do this by shipping several high quality apps... not just a single one.
Looks very nice!
better then most of the xbox live games. you, sir, are a hero!

I already posted a short review of the game to support you guys:

Thanks xhirschix.
We're trying hard here to build ARMED! into a fantastic game. It really does help our motivation when people praise and especially buy the game.

We can use all the promotion we can get! Thanks Win_XP!
its nice and amazing
V1.1 work great , wish more and more item will join feture version.
I did the try on this I like this gamethat said I didn't have any issues with it at all. and when I do a try to use if I like it I'll buy it if not I remove it this game has been bought! I had a ball playing this. and didn't get bored at all with it. though It drove me nuts at times...you know when you don't play it well... over all the game is nice and nice work done on it by the Dev team....it's well worth the money....
Looks really sweet. You should consider porting it to tablet enabled Windows 8 computers seeing as the beta goes live in Feb. Then you would be the first indie to have head to head between phone and tablet

Lifelong tinker-er excited to be here!

I've ventured into the phone space to see what I can break. I'm interested in the different hats that cell phones can wear so to speak. I've (white) hacked a lot of things, so I'm excited to what's possible with cell phones. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to contribute and pay it forward! Cheers.
