Hey there, everyone.
After a long time, I decided to rebuild my application from scratch.
The new version - IOU 'Revamped' - includes more functionality, and is generally better 'under the hood.'
Some of the new features:
The first is archiving IOU’s: instead of deleting an IOU completely, you can now archive them for future reference. It’ll also save the date on which you archived it, in case you want to look it up.
The second is adding return dates: when adding a loan you can now add a return date. Next to the three current pages (‘Overview’, ‘I owe’, ‘They owe’) a fourth one shows only loans with a deadline.
The third is a live tile: IOU is a Windows Phone 7-exclusive app, and Live Tiles are a Windows Phone-exclusive feature. Makes sense to implement it, right? The back of the live tile now shows you your upcoming deadline plus how many deadlines you have in total.
The fourth is pinning a secondary tile: tapping the secondary tile on your start screen, immediately brings you to the ‘New IOU’-page.
I think I'm pretty much done now, so I'm looking for betatesters.
Screenshots of the new version van be found here:

BELOW THIS LINE IS OLD STUFF!
Ladies and gentlemen!
On the first of July, I finished coding my first WP7 application.
Since then I've been fixing bugs, adding new features, and polishing the designs.
Right now, the app is pretty close to finished. So I decided to post a .xap here for you to try while it's submitted to the testing queue.
Tombstoning is not implemented yet, but not very essential either.
News regarding the app, updates, and the changelog can be found on the corresponding dev-blog.
Feedback can be sent through the app, via the blog or posted here. Whatever you prefer - it'd be much appreciated!
About IOU
IOU, an online abbreviation for “I Owe You”, is an application for Windows Phone 7. IOU provides you the tools to keep track of anything you borrow - or others borrow from you.
Key elements are an easy-to-use interface and high performance.
IOU started as a personal Silverlight learning project. The concept had potential, but the execution was unfulfilling. By the time I had mastered the Silverlight basics I began a complete, structured rewrite, with the final application as result.
Features:
Keep track of all the stuff people borrowed from you, or you borrowed from them;
Keep track of both borrowed items and money.
Edit loans to keep them up to date, or to correct mistakes.
View loans in a mixed list as well as separate lists of what you owe others or they owe you;
“Glance and Go” & metro design philosophy: you can see most information about a loan right there in the overview list, without having to tap it to see all of its details;
Full theme-integration, using the background and accent color from your phone;
Animated page transitions for a smooth and visually-appealing interface.
Choose one out of four different tiles to fit in with your theme.
Some random facts:
I intend to update the app regularly, adding new features and polishing existing functionality;
IOU will always have a fully featured, free version available;
IOU was submitted to the Windows Phone Marketplace for testing and certification on the 1st of July, 2011;
This is the first application I’ve submitted, and the only application I’ve submitted so far;
Screenshots
Screenshots can be found here, while an overview of the possible custom tiles can be found here.

IOU v1.3 is now available in the windows phone marketplace. However, because of trouble with my developer account, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEND UPDATES. Therefore I have removed the link.
That'll also provide you with easier updates, and the app no longer counts for the limit of sideloaded applications.
Thanks in advance for the feedback,
cPT.cAPSLOCK.
I like the Interface, very Metro. Also: the fact that you can pretty much "costumize" the Tile icon is a nice touch.
It would be nice if the splashscreen would also use the proper accent color, right now it's blue by default.
EDIT: I am not sure if the tile actually works right. I set it to black and inverted and pinned it afterwards but it still shows up as white and "normal" Does it take a while if I pinned it after setting the tile?

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, the splashscreen uses a static image while loading the app. Therefore, I can change the color, but it's impossible to have it fit everyone's accent color.
It's one of the things bothering me too though - I use a Lime as my own accent.

My suggestion would be to use a white arrow with black text then. That way, it'll fit all accents. But then again, its's just a splashscreen, a very minor thing
How could I've forget that!
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll implement it in the next update
So, I just added a bunch of IOUs to the app. Here's a few suggestions:
-setting a due date would be nice
-also, it would be cool if the app could ring an alarm if that due date passes.
-when you succesfully add a bunch of IOUs and then use the back button to get out of the app, you'll "re-open" the add entry page again and it'll keep asking "You are about to discard your changes. Continue?". It would be cool if the app did not try to backk through those entries. (I am not a friend of "tombstoning" my running apps, I like to "cleanly" back out.)
Thanks for the suggestions.
Setting a deadline is already on my list for upcoming features. Same goes for reminders.
I hadn't noticed the back-button issue you mentioned, but I'll look into it.
Thanks again!
Updated first post:
IOU v1.3 is now available in the marketplace!
you should add currency options, i know its not some big flaw, but it looks silly for me that i owe my polish friend 15 pounds, not zloty : )
anyway app is simple but looks and runs very solid, kudos for you

The app uses your phone's region settings. So Americans see USD, the English see GBP, and so forth.
Try going to settings, "region & language", and change 'Region format' to "Polish".
It should show up correctly then.
Dear cT. Can you please make your app available in the South African marketplace.

Dear cT. Can you please make your application available for the South African marketplace.
I'm sorry, I can't.
I have lost access to my developer account. Something went wrong, causing the app to be lost in limbo.
I might be able to release it again sometime, but I'm not sure when that would be.
Sorry. Had bad connection and it didn't look like my question already went through.
I can't seem to PM you. I have a name of someone that you can email to recover access to your account. Can you PM me your email address?
Updated first post.
tl:dr;
Built a mango version with a bunch of new functionality, and I'm looking for beta-testers.
replaced screenshot links with new, working ones.
Any feedback is welcome.
If you'd like to be a betatester for me, please PM your live ID so I can include you.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody,
I wanted to learn some (basic) programming in VC# and the .Net Framework. So i looked for an idea. After a short time i had this idea, to create a program, in which you can keep track of your Fuel consumption of your car. (i think it is kind of useful, because the prices are changing every day).
I thought i'd share it here.. maybe someone is looking for a piece of software like this.. if not, just ignore it
you can test it, use it etc (whatever you want)..
Currently, there are two languages: German and English, but i dont love my English translation...
News:
v0.1.1 is now online:
I fixed the bug but another problem appeared: people who upgrade to the new version will lose all their data stored in data.xml with the uninstaller...
So i decided to create a simple Backup-Restore Function. Now, with the new version, you can Backup your Data before Upgrading and after that, you can restore it... If you use the Backup - the files will remain in your memory, until you delete them..
This is not the best way to solve the problem, because these files will stay on Memory even if the user uninstalls the program...
I read, that there is a way to costumize the setup process with a custom "Setup.dll" but i could not figure out how this works.. if anyone knows how to do this, please PM me..
Changelog:
v0.1.1 - 10/20/2008
fixed: storing units did not work
added: simple backup-function
added: simple restore-function
v0.1 - 10/19/2008
inital release
Beware: I will not guarantee for damage on your devices
If you have Bugs, ideas for new features or other feedback - let me know ..
This is a cool little program, would help a lot of people who have to teavel to work, etc..
I wish i had this when i was having some mileage problems with my car.
FuelCal
It looks good. I will give it a try.
Don't worry about your English, you can program!!!
Have a great day.
Glenn
FuelCal
Now for some more fun programming.
The store function is not storing the updated info.
It would be very useful for me if it would also calculate Mile/Gallon
Thanks.
Glenn
thanks for the feedback...
well i did not test the "Store" Feature for the Units ... bad in this case...
is will release a fixed version soon, stay tuned...
have a nice day
Just what i was looking for.
Thank you very much.
A bug
Hi. Excellent idea. You should check that on "Evaluation" the "price per Km" should be divided by 100 because it is done in cents but the unit says, when you change it, $/Km and not $cents/Km
Thanks.
Suggestion
Nice idea g3eB4Y. I will try the app.
This is something that could grow into a larger application if you want to track vehicle maintenance too. Also, I think that it would be helpful if you could simply enter the odometer reading and fuel quantity and allow the program to calculate distance.
First of all, thank you for your feedback...

I think there is nothing really wrong with the calculation.
When you change something on the settings page, you will only change the mask, but it will not affect the calculation..
The first Textbox under "Currency" will change the display for the "big-currency-unit" (€,$...) and the other textbox will change the "small-currency-unit" ($Cent, €Cent.. )
I can include a feature, that you really can change the calculation and display mode (€/km, €Cent/km, €Cent/20km ...) but at this moment, it does not

g3eB4Y,
Very nice app you have. I've been using a excel spreadsheet to do this and now, I'm moving over to your app.
I wonder if you could add in another method of calculating the fuel consumption.
Distance travelled / No. of Litres = km/litre
Hope you can add that in to your next update.
Thanks once again.
PS:
No big deal but if you could name your cab file with the version number, it would be great!
It would be awesome if there was an application to use the MBW-150 bluetooth watch on the G1. Is anyone developing one?

I'll bite. I'd buy one if I didn't have to use a sony ericson phone to use it.
[IDEA]A new contact app(2 preview screenshots)
Does anybody think the built-in contact app is not easy to use?
I'm working on a new contact app called aContact which provides a new UI to access to contact data and some more features.
So,anybody has any idea about this new app or found the disadvantages of the built-in contact app??
THANKS
I will post the scrrenshots after I finished the first version.
Thanks again for your advices!
---------------------------21th December added---------------------------
There are two screenshots.Any advice?
The best contact manager I've used was the one built into SPB Mobile Shell for Winmo.

nice idea even though i dont mind the g1's contact app i know it can be better.
some things i think you should add:
-ability to view contacts in groups or categories
- if possible assign ringtones to group
- have the number/letter show up when scrolling like the icontact for wm
- integrate it so that when someone send you a number you can long press and add number to you contact manager or you can make it retrieve contacts through google.
- have birthday

[REQ] Android App Ideas
hello android users,
I am a developer on the windows mobile side of things (see the M2DC thread for an example of my work) and I am thinking I might like to move over to developing for android.
I have a few problems, first, I don't have a device, this is not a huge deal at the moment because I can just use the SDK emulator for now, but I will be purchasing a device later on if I like developing for this platform. The second problem is that I need help with ideas for some simple apps... since I do not have a G1 to handle on a daily basis I don't really get the chance to feel things out and discover where an app might come in useful.
So my request is this. Does anyone have any ideas for "simple" android applications? Anything they wish the phone did better? Or a simple functionality that they wish the phone had? Reading through this forum it looks like there is a demand for OCR and possibly something to make applying new themes/skins easier? Or the TextTwist Game?
Of these 3 the game sounds the most interesting, the theme changer sounds good too because that is what my current development in windows mobile does, and the OCR is most likely out of my league at the moment.
I am open to any app ideas, I'm just looking for something to get me started and get me interested in the platform.
A few apps i would like to see as follows
1. A reboot option in shut down menu "if possible".
2. Digital Clock for homescreen
3. Screen Capture
4. Camera Zoom option
5. Checkers
Hope this helps a bit, good luck!
An application that kills tasks running in the background (although most folks say it's not possible right now), video recorder, night mode for camera, or Sirius/XM internet streamer similar to SiriusWM5 (I'm not sure that one is possible at the moment either...). Of course, you could create widgets (something more simple) but the source code won't be available to next year allegedly.
- Office suite (word and excel file editor)
- Youtube downloader from phone (like iphone mxtube)
- Super Mario Chronicles !!!!!
- FlightGear portable
- compiz fusion !! (not important but just tto test phone power to my friend that have an Iphone)
- More widget

You can view contacts in groups - Contacts - Menu - Display Group (created on GMAIL page).
Ringtones to groups would be nice, but for now you may just display a group and assign them all a ringtone
The long press to dial/save numbers in SMS has been addressed and should be in the final version of Android 1.0.
A birthday? Ehrmm.... Would personally prefer that to stay where it is (in my calendar).
I would like it to integrate the Dialer and searching for contacts, so i can just start typing a name or a number and it would show me the matching contacts. (I think SpellDial does this but is not very robust).
Thanks

If possible I will open source the beta version of my first program and post the beta packages here on xda for everyone to use without charge... I am still learning the whole process so we will see what happens in the end
Thank you for the suggestions, and I am still open to hearing more
I guess "simple" is also relative to your level of proficiency in Java and mobile development. As far as holes in the shipped operating system that could use fixing, there are many points to attack. Some could be done in the JVM, others would have to be done in native c. Examples include:
An office suite
Video recording
Touchscreen text input (API will expose this in 09Q1)
A simple but high-quality word or puzzle game would be great tho.
Edit: welcome aboard the Android side too ;-)

I agree with you 100%, the system stuff sounds good, but of the posted ideas and from what I have seen there is a small demand for "simple" games, and this is the direction I plan on going initially, games are fun to make and they should give me a decent overview of what is involved in throwing together an app.
As far as my java proficiency... I can definitely get by. I have a few websites that rely completely on the google web toolkit, and my bachelors degree was typical of an early 2008 CS curriculum, 2 years of java to learn what OO programming is, and then 2 years of C to learn about the fun stuff (pointers, threads, compilers, OS's, etc...). but like I said before I am just looking to make a traditional application, and I think that it is going to end up being a game of some sort,
I don't have a device yet, if I get one it would be pretty much a development only device, so I am trying to get my feet wet with an app or 2 before I decide to get one. I did manage to get a few minutes with a G1 today and I must say that the device feels so much better than my Titan, that capacitive touchscreen is awesome.
Once I get something going I will startup a new project on google code so I can take advantage of the free svn server and start posting my progress

Capacitive touch screens feel great and and quite responsive but they do have their caveats too. The main one is that accuracy of input is lower than with a stylus. You'll have to keep that in mind when you design the UI. You can scale the size of the emulator on screen to match an actual G1's physical screen size (emulated pixels might be mangled though).

Hello all.
I decided to start developing apps for WP7 and since I really wanted to have my own Translate app I decided to make one. I only started C# programming yesterday but it looks that it's really similar to VB.Net (which I have been doing for 3 years ). This is my first app I made for WP7 therefore it's really simple.
Simple UI: (GoogleTranslate.zip) the simpliest ever Google translate client (prototype) with basic features. Most languages are available though not every combination has been tested.
It can remember default language settings by selecting the 'set default (target/source) language' option in the menu.
Version 0.1: (GoogleTranslate-0.1.zip)
Added country flags
A few graphical effects when an item is selected
Auto save of current language settings (no more set as default)
Added an additional page for choosing source and target language
Version 0.2: (in development)
Renamed to GTranslate
Added Korean language
'Language Settings' page renamed to 'Settings'
Add About subpage in 'Settings'
Activated text wrapping for textbox on translation page
Globalisation support (application needs to be translated to different languages though)
Added 'History Page' with date, time of translation and a 'tap and hold' menu
Using a blue gradient as a background (no matter what phone theme is)
New logo
Added a nice tile based start-up page
Changed/revamped transitions
Added a progressbar to show progress when translating
Some other bug fixes
No Marketplace Yet! Only to be installed on Chevron unlocked devices.
I need some beta testers! PM me if you are happy to help

Enjoy and please report feedback.
P.S: I just realised the posts release date was 2010 not 2011! What a fail!
Hi,
Thank you very much for developing.
I've installed the translater on my HD2 WP7.
Working great.
If I find a bug I will let you know but first I need to play with it.
Grtz, Leo
thanks mate...
great work
tried now and no problem for now
Hi Laurentius26.
Thanks for the first comment.
I may improve this app a bit when I have some free time but the college work is currently killing any bits of free time I have unfortunately. Also please increase my Thanks Meter + 1 if you know what I mean.
I am also looking for suggestions for apps to make. If you have an idea to make something good. Please let me know.
@Alesscam: Thanks and enjoy.
Hi,

Can you extend the app bottom bar with a button that switches source and target languages? Wouldn't be so hard to code and it would be a nice function to have I think.

Hi, I got some feedback about colours legibility, so I've added a poll about it.
My idea was to colour code data, in order to avoid repeating labels.
Even if you don't want to install it, I would be grateful if browsing the video you could leave a feedback here. Thanks
Hi again,
we are in the process of adding more locations worldwide. We would like to get (if possible) feedback if you are finding your particular location or at least a close one. Next update will geolocate you and find close locations.
Live Tiles
Hi again. I get quite a bit of feedback, both in comments and via email, about the absolute _imperial_ need of a live tile, without which no application should be published !
Just to make things clear: the live tile is coming, but there are a few more important sections and improvements that should be taken care of. Moreover, there is a good reason why it takes a bit to implement and why people are reticent to do so: it just doesn't work reliably yet. It has been clear now for some months, that push notifications in the current form have met the obstacle of carriers network management and while the issue is being worked on and improved, they're still not very reliable. Basically the network operator doesn't want to keep the connection open for push notifications too much and on the other side the ms protocol is failing to 'force' the network to comply.
Some more informations here: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2011/02/17/push-notification-status.aspx
Again, the live tile is coming, it has been working almost ok for a month on my test unit. But really, while impressive and cool, there are more useful updates to provide first.
Hi, this application is quite complete regarding forecasts. Are you planning to include webcams at some point ?
Yep, webcams are planned for the future updates, not in the upcoming one, though, maybe the one afterwards
The problem in implementing them is that you can't just link random webcams on the web, you have to get a list with permissions given from the owners
Updated today with GPS location, autorefresh, news feeds and some other stuff.
Coming up: webcams
Nice look. Needs °F option, zoom for maps, scalable text. Would consider buying no-ad version.

Thanks a ton. You're right about farenheit degrees, considering I've already implemented english language.
Zoom for maps was implemented at the start, then the fact that it wouldn't work very well with the swipe gesture and the relatively readability of the maps made me remove it. Do you think they need zooming because you can't read them well enough ?
Scalable text in which section ?
No-ad was an idea from the start, however we're considering releasing every future feature (live tile, etc) for free anyway.
Thanks for the feedback
I HTC HD2 (with WM 6.5) and although I have a couple of meteo apps.installed
I would like to try yours, which indeed seems very atractive.
Any chance and, if yes, how to do it ??
I installed it today... very nice graphs! the only thing I still need to do is to see if the forecast is indeed right... if it is, and when the live tile comes on, I may even cancel my daily e-mail forecast from my preferred forecaster

hehe thanks good to know. I'm obviously very unrelated to those that provide the forecast itself, but in the weeks I've tried it, it seems to me it works even better than the other more famous italian provider (more famous for consumer-level, actually this is a lot more business-level).
Try to avoid updating the forecast for 24/48 hours and see if the 'now' detail is correct !

To the best of my knowledge there is no way to use wp7 apps on winmo... you would have to install wp7 !
If you want I could do the German localization for you.
I like your app and it will replace Weather Duck asap when the live tiles are ready ;-)
If you want me to do it just DM me your mail or ping me on Twitter: @cyruss1989

Thanks ! that would be cool and I just might contact you as soon as the next update resource files are done. On the other hand, my girlfriend is german, I hope she won't be jealous hehehe
Seriously though, I'd rather send you the resource files to translate when they are 'complete' so that you don't have to do that twice, even if they would have to be updated now and then.
Again, thanks for the offer

Do you want to give it a look in the meantime ?
Translations
Ok, looking for translators for french and spanish. I can read both but I'm not sure about syntax in writing.
So if you're interested, drop me a line here, the resources file aren't big at all
Hi again,
I'm striving to pass the next update through certification, however it seems (as reported by some) that certification parameters have become more tight recently and they won't let you pass the small things as before.
This is maybe good, but that also means that it might take a while to 'fix' the application, especially in the most complex parts, i.e. it's not that the updates aren't coming, it's just that it needs some polishing.
As mentioned, next update includes webcams, the one after that 'could' include live-tiles, if there isn't any other important weather data to include in the application.
Victory ! Certification passed in record time this once !
That's weird, it took only one day...
First post updated as soon as I'm home
Really nice app. Are you going to release also a paid version ad free?
JotPad 1.3
What is the Jotapad? It's a Windows Phone app to jot down anything you want. Having a conversation with someone and really need to do a drawing to illustrate your thoughts? This is the app you've been looking for!
Want to scribble over a picture of your boss just for fun? Add a moustache and a beard like you did in the high school? Have a blast!
Just want to pass some time doing some doodles? You've came to the right place!
Anyhow, on with the show and the new features:
- SkyDrive upload, use your Windows Live ID and upload your doodles straight to your SkyDrive!
- Custom background images, use any image you have on your Pictures Hub as the background of your doodle! You can annotate in any picture.
- Save to phone, save your pictures on the phone, look at them anytime you want!
And the old favorites:
- Live Tile support, if you pin the app to the start screen it will show the last drawing you made.
- Multi touch support, using two fingers you are able to zoom, rotate and move around the page of your drawing.
- Various colors and image backgrounds, use one of the three lovely made backgrounds for that extra flair on your sketch.
Let me know what you think about it, and what should be improved. Just post in this thread and I'll be notified and get back to you.
BTW, in the next version, which I'm testing ATM, I've added advertisement, AdDuplex to be more specific to see if I can get some nice exposure for my app. What do you guys think of that? Is AdDuplex a good way to get some exposure? Can anyone with experience on this area leave some feedback please? That would be most appreciated.
looks like great app.. Any beta testing is available.

You can get the app here http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=dd496842-8119-4420-9bc6-1d39a58a6b87, straight from the Marketplace. Or just search for JotPad. Let me know what you think about it.
Nice app, I like it! I especially appreciate that it syncs with skydrive.
What is the best way to select a new background or pen color? (It's early and I probably need more coffee, thanks for bearing with my question

Press the middle button on the application bar to choose a different pen. For the background you have to go to settings and the swipe to the page background page and choose whatever background color or image you want.
Another thing I just realized, I probably should include a help page so that people know how to use the app. I was watching a review of my app on YouTube and the guy had no idea on how to use it and made it look kinda bad.
I would need it in classroom

Oh dear, I really did need more coffee earlier!! I didn't even think to swipe right in settings, although the settings page headings make it very clear there's more info available. My apologies.
Not a bad idea to have a help page, but you'll always folks like me who just weren't paying attention.
Nice app... it's a keeper!
