[SUMMARY ARTICLE] Release Notes for Tasker's upcoming beta - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hey all, I posted an article on my website summarizing the confirmed updates/changes/additions from Pent's Release Notes page for the upcoming Beta.
Some highlights include:
Photo for a Material Design facelift concept (from Pent)
Photo for App shortcuts (my design)
Photo for Quick Settings (my design)
The second and third photos were not confirmed by Pent but if those aren't close to (if not exactly) what quick settings and app shortcuts are going to look like then we have even bigger news to hope for! haha
Enjoy!

1800PocketPC.com -- What do you guys think ?

Hi fellas
I have a windows mobile site 1800PocketPC.com, its just over a year old. I was wondering if you guys have heard of it ?
We usually post about freewares and the latest hardware news about windows mobile. We dont have a forum for people to hang out coz we think as long as xda-devs and ppcgeeks are there why would anyone need a forum for windows mobile. I was hoping to get some constructive criticism about the site and ways we can improve the site.
You can also subscribe to our RSS ot Twitter
I know your site for some time and it´s very good, I like the format (exept for a narrower line of adds on the right)
Congrats!
I go all the time
I really like the site,
only thing is you could be be a little bit more "selective" or "picky"
At least what I think this could be "Pearls and beauty" of xda-developers.com for the average guy.
- I really like the category style!
- The Wallpaper stuff: Naaaahh I think you will catch some fishes with this but is it really needed? I think it makes the site look a bit cheap.
- RSS and twitter is great: every Headline was a hit so far (well some exeptions but I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder).
- Customisable rss and twitter by categorys and user would be the ultimate I think (but this would almost need the power of a socialnetwork)
- You are already on the top scores of google! (at least when I search for something)
- You can discover the real beauty of google translator when visiting your site Microfi Nitrogen -> Microfi Stickstoff (Germans get the joke)
but besides of the jokes it can be really usefull.
- I can´t test right now but have you checked "freedom from barriers"? The new "touchscreen generation" of phones might be great for handicapped persons. Would also be great to have a rating system for them as well.
So far really great
THX for this site
thanks for the kind words fellas.
@ moesfeld : Customisable rss and twitter by categorys is a great idea, I will look in to getting it done in the near future.
I am in the dark about "freedom from barriers" , do you have any links from where I can read more regarding this ?
Hi sajio,
You have really done a great job with the site, i actually am now quite addicted to your site to catch on the software which i miss on XDA. So keep up the good work and i hope with all the frequent updates and personal attention, you have made it full of valuable resources. What i think is keep your site fresh alway like you do now, and you would not need anything additional.
Regards
Sharif Ansari

Well it pretty much depends on what cms you use. Many have the "accessability for disabled" already inbuild.
I found the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Also I found the Web Accessibility Toolbar that lets you check if you meet the guidelines.
I know your site a while ago, and I like very much.
Keep it up
I go there @ll the time nice job!
thanks guys
i love it and subscribe to rss for it. thanks for you hard work.
you are welcome

Mobile Facebook (Not the official app)

I saw this on the market, I hadn't seen it before so I don't know whether it is new or it has just been updated but there are no reviews of it and I can't read the website so I'm not sure what to think of this app really.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/oms.sns.facebook
I haven't purchased it so I don't know if it is any good. Have any of you guys seen this before?
Thanks,
Simon.
Yeah it is new as I just noticed it as well. Anyone wanna take the dive and purchase and post impressions?
hmm based on that one review doesn't seem good :/
probably just another mobile facebook wrapper.
I emailed the Dev, asked him if it's a native app using FB's APIs or a wrapper, and asked for screenshots.
We'll see what he says.
Got a reply:
From Email said:
Hi Jordan,
Mobile Facebook is a native application, not by Browser, which using Facebook APIs,
FBook is a Browser,
Our application is totle different from FBook, we can access Facebook very fast, and also enable user access wall message, phonebook, friends information,
Enable you upload photo, video to Facebook,
Show news feed,
We will find a website to show more information about Mobile Facebook.
Thanks your mails

He sent me a ton of screenshots of the app in use. Screenshot attachments continue in the next post.
Continued screenshots.
Conclusion: The app doesn't look as pretty as Bloo does, but it looks far more powerful and integrated. I don't know if it's worth the $3.50, though.
I like Babbler myself. The first true native Facebook app.
Is it just me, or are those screenshots totally confusing? It's not the language barrier per-se, but I can't tell what any of those pages are supposed to be showing.
The thing that has me wondering though is, I thought there was no mail API - that's why Bloo and the others don't have mail yet.
Edit: Ok, I downloaded it and took some screenies of my own.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolageek2/sets/72157621869871714/
My opinion - it does a LOT. But it's kinda fugly and not fun or intuitive to use. I couldn't figure out how to view people's photos or reply to their wall posts, but I only had it for about 10 minutes and decided that I didn't like it enough to keep playing with it.
You could reply to e-mail, that was kind of cool. You couldn't do it from the message-read page though, you had to long-press on the message title on the message-list screen.
Mail is the only thing I saw that this has that Bloo doesn't (I haven't used babble). And with blue it's a LOT easier to comment on walls, photos, etc...
As you can see though, from the screenshots, it's got a LOT of options, so maybe I missed something.
Thanks for the review, nolageek.
If the interface improves, I wouldn't mind trying it. It'd be nice as well if the author could share their hacks with the Bloo and Babbler devs. Unless he's just recoding the HTML from the m.facebook.com site.
i like bloo the best so far, but i'm going to reserve judgment until the official app comes out next week.

Apps like Babbler and Bloo *could* do mail, but if they did they wouldn't be an officially approved Facebook app, since they wouldn't be following the guidelines of using strictly the API.
Neither of them are an officially approved Facebook app. There is no officially approved Facebook app, and no official Facebook app anyway.
And Babbler originally had mail, but it redirected users to the mobile site. Kind of a botched version. They've since dropped it in favor of pure API access.

Whats this about an official app next week now?
I don't like any of the facebook apps, I use the facebook mobile site ESPECIALLY for android.
x.Facebook.com -----Thats the best so far...don't use m.facebook.com
You can do what ever you want there...

there is rumored to be an official facebook app releasing with the launch of the MT3G, which happens next week. I see this as being strongly possible seeing as facebook, after years of TMO hating, just decided to open up mobile alerts for TMO customers.
It's not just T-Mobile they hate, it's Google as well.

wrong. there is a difference between an "official" app and an "approved" app. facebook approves apps and puts them on the web site if they follow all of their guidelines for apps. since facebook has announced they are making their own OFFICIAL app, they aren't listing android mobile apps anymore.

Not made for android. Made for all phones not iphone. But same page. Have you compared that feed to the real site? Its brutal. 1st few items are new, and then it just tosses a bunch of crap in from 24 hours ago or older. For anyone that uses facebook a few times a day, x.facebook is awful. Pretty tabs, but if feed is wrong, useless

[APP]MJ's Strain Guide Free[V1.7]

Hello everyone on this forum,
I have been working on continued development of my app MJ's Strain Guide which can be found from this Thread. I have taken the idea that was being developed on WM6.5 and brought it to WP7 after seeing no one has made an app for us medical patients. I have programed so far over 340 different strains ranging from Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid. This app tries to focus on the patient as a grower and a smoker to help a patient locate a strain that will best address their symptoms with the proper properties. This app does not promote nor condone smoking illegally and/or commercial growing. This app is an educational tool for the patient who is seeking more knowledge on what they are putting into their body and what relief will come.
Here is a preview of the app running:
Updated Video!!!!
This video is of the premium version but on the free version there are ads displayed at the bottom. They both contain the same amount of strains.
MJ's Strain Guide Free:
Deep Link to MJ's Strain Guide Free.
***history***
Version 1.7 - Added a new item into the app. The new item is called Cannabis THC Info. This section gives information on what THC is and an explanation of why I wont include THC levels as there is now way to accurately determine an amount of THC in a strain as it is mainly related to the growers skill level itself.
Version 1.6 - added several more strains. this is a mini update but the app is now available to every WP7 Marketplace around the world!
App Version: 1.5.0.5 - initial release
The app is released in many different WP7 markets!
I hope you all enjoy!!!
now thats a fine app!!! when are u planing to release it and is it going to be on the marketplace?
Thank you. I have already updated it to be mango ready as well as added more as in interaction. Instead of a visual showing a selection now there is hepatic feedback. I also fix a few typos as well as made the main page a pivot control so it's not cluttered with links on the bottom. The new pivot page is an about page which contains the links now for strain suggestion. Tomorrow will be day five of submission. Its so close to passing once its approved I will push this update. It should pass as I ran it though the market submission tool and it passed everything as far as I know. Full boot time was 3 - 3.3 seconds. In the current release I am currently waiting for publishing has set up in the @Support link a pre setup email template the makes it easy for me to know what u want to see. I might make the template more complex. I will add a support email link as well in the new version.
Edit: super tired have some typos in this post. I will post the link asap once it is approved.
Edit 2: i have attached some screenshots of the updated version. I really want to get this update out as it has much more in it compared to the the one currently. i have not added any more info just functionality and made things look a little nicer.
Is it going to a paid app or a free one?
Its a free app. Here is a paid version but there is nothing different between the apps. They are exact clones of each other just the free one has a ad bar at the bottom but it not really distracting from the app plus there no way of accidentally hitting one. I have spent several hundred hours building this app but have learned a lot in the process but broke as hell so i have ads, sorry. I will also give the same feedback response time for both as in feedback or suggestions. I will be at times a few days slower to update the free one depending on my time restraints. I am also currently in the process of making a MJ cookbook app as well. I'm just getting my recipes organized. It will go through how to make butter and other cooking ingredients which requires marijuana. This will be good for those who don't smoke or can't. I am also working with a diabetics person to design some recipes for those patients. Must have love for everyone.
Update:
I am still waiting on Microsoft to accept my app. its been 9 days now. I have in that time done more work on the app and have added more strains to the list as well as change the home screen UI a little bit. i also improved speed on the app as well as improved the animation on the home page. The emails you would send on suggestions or support has been updated to a @cannapps.com email address instead of the current email. this will allow me to be quicker on contact. I am ready to push this update ASAP so once i get word i will push it through. Im hoping to hear from them tomorrow
Well after a month of waiting and fixing one minor thing just related to theme (as in white theme, black theme) The app has been approved. It is now live in the marketplace. Check the first post for the link
Just wanted to post an update for everyone. I am planning on updating the app with new strain and some new features in the next two weeks after my move is complete. Also a cookbook app is in the works as well.

italy was not on my initial release of regions. i will add it soon...
update: i thought it would be simple but with ms it is not. i will add it to the next update so it can be found on your marketplace.
i'll stay tuned ;D
just an update. i should have it up for submission by the beginning of the week as i am now finally moved. I am now adding more strains for this update. I will try to hit every marketplace this time around if allowed.
Looking forward to itAny idea in the cookbook?
Sent from my LG-C900B using Board Express
I have already started the initial work on the cookbook. It will take me a couple of weeks to complete.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Just a quick update... I have submitted a mini update to the app that adds a couple more strains to the list that I was able to confirm more stats on. Takes a while on each strain as I strive for accuracy. This update also should be available globally upon Microsoft approval. The next update should have a search feature as I am learning how to implement it and maybe a save image feature.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
update is now live. if you cannot find it yet give it a day as sometimes Microsoft is slow to update there marketplace but full approval went through for the update. This will now allow the app on all markets. updated first post.
I am planning another update soon which will add more strains as well as the ability to take notes on a strain your growing within the strain details page. That will come once MJ's CookBook is complete which its looking good so far. More updates soon

Thank you for your feedback. I do encourage feedback and suggestions.

New update has been submitted to the Marketplace. It should be available in the next few days. Version 1.7.0.0

[App] le verge - The Verge news reader

Hey folks,
I recently launched a news reader for The Verge. There isn't much branding but I spent some effort on making it look like a native app and optimization. Give it a try and give me some feedbacks! This is my first app so I would really like to know how I can improve it in the update.
Screenshots:

Or just search "le verge" on the marketplace.
Let me know what you guys think!
A very nice app for starting specially because its fast and follows the metro design. There are two suggestion from my side :
1. Option to make text bigger or smaller.
2. Caching of posts for offline reading.
I have done video review to share with my readers you can check here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQwgxA-MsB8
Wow, very nice! It's fast and looks great.
Just a few minor thoughts:
1) Agree with wpxbox about adding a font size setting
2) I'd buy it! Would love to see a paid version without ads offered
Nice app, thanks for posting it in the market!
"You sir is a genius!" (read with a quest-like voice from a knight lol)
Thanks very much for this app! Now I can get rid of the mobile web version of their awesome site. Joshua should tweet this and post on their Featured page so it gets the attention it deserves

Best tracker music ever

https://youtube.com/TrackerNinja
Channel is dedicated to vintage tracker music: MOD, S3M, XM, IT, whatever.
Music made with small computers, but great minds were involved.
Multiple styles: from chiptune to trance.
No pseudo demoscene. ONLY THE BEST!
Mankind produced 288.000 mods in total.
Almost all of them are *pure crap*.
Approximately 0.88% worth your attention.
You can find all of these *music gems* here, on my channel.
Listen to the MODS & be cool.
Music is rendered via XMPlay v3.8.3.4. All quality settings maxed out.
If you don't know what the heck i am talking about, check out wiki for detailed explanation:

No problemo!
I don't care about views & subs.
I care about quality of content.
Enjoy!
If you are interested in tracker music perhaps you would like to know in which software all these delightful music were created. If so, follow the link, which brings you to comprehensive and most complete catalog of music tracking applications.
I was permanently banned on all ugly g platforms.
So there is no yt channel and tracker base anymore.
Countless hours or work were sent to trash bin.
This is what is happening when you are messing with monopolistic corporations.
Don't trust your information to them.
Ultimately, here is the download link to the best mods ever created by mankind:
https://mega.nz/file/ml4WlBjT#tPOOhOfVFg9BWwLWGCsHs2CCQ3iTnVysqeWMczJacbM
~700Mb of compressed joy.
Also there is a mirror on my personal web-page.
Hope that someone will appreciate this collection.
Just updated mod archive. Removed some dups, sort thing up a bit.1472 mods after final clean up.
https://mega.nz/file/ml4WlBjT#tPOOhOfVFg9BWwLWGCsHs2CCQ3iTnVysqeWMczJacbMAlso you can find working links on my webpage.
