I use for very long time SPB Shell and I am very happy with it, but what I was missing it was a direct link to a web site. For long time I used links on first page of Opera but they are only 9 and I need it more. Sow I start digging for a solution.
I find this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490447 on my favorite site (xda-developers.com) but it doesn't say nothing about web links. So I just try a solution by myself and I find it. Please remember maybe somebody else find this solution to, but personally, I didn`t find noting about this subject in my searches.
How you to:
1. You create a new .lnk file or you just duplicate one already existent (you can do this in other programs to but i will explain only for resco)
2. Rename .lnk file with any name you desire.
3. At properties on second tab named "Shortcut" on "Target" field write "http://www.website.com" were www.website.com is you desired website. Please do not forget to write the "http://" part because without the link is not working.
4. Deselect if is need it "Hidden" option on "General" tab other ways backup program will ignore the link and you may lost it on next restore.
4. Whit a specialized program change icon of link with a icon of your choice. I created a icon (png file) with a snap shot for every page I use.
5. Enjoy.
Here is my page in SPB Shell dedicated to Web (for icon used here please visit my blog www.everydaymobiles.blogspot.com)
Hellluuuuu there everybody!!!! :mrgreen:
I'm new to this forum as well as to Android programming!!!
I've bagged a semester project recently, called 'Social Data Mining on Smartphones'. I've added the task description as an attachment to this post. Do have a look!
Now - I installed the ADT/SDK plugins for Eclipse and tried out the 'Hello World' programme once following the Developer's Tutorial - that's it!
I'm all set to being my project... but.. there's a tiny snag in my way
--> I have absolutement NO clue where to begin
I'd be grateful to you guys if you could guide me through my project and be available for answering questions/solving problems.. I'm also open to new ideas/suggestions/creative input, etc.
So......... how to get started?
Okies - I managed to make the GUI.
Download it from the attachment.
Comments welcome : )
So, now I need to get started with the actual coding.
Step 1) Extract data from the contact application
Any ideas how to get started?
So as I like to listen to audio books very much and as I bought WinPhone I decided to write this app.
It does a really simple thing - generates a podcast feed from a folder that you give to app (with audio book). Than you "subscribe" to this self-made "podcast",set to play it from the oldest one, sync all "episodes" with your phone and that's it.
If you have a windows phone 8.1+ device please follow to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...oks2-audio-t2922308/post56362244#post56362244
ElAudioBooks - my new app for listening to audio books.
[0.1]
First release
So there are 7 steps you need to do. They a really simple
I'll comment them a little:
At step 1 you need to select folder with files of audiobooks.
Typically you will have smth like
01.mp3
02.mp3
03.mp3
etc. in the correct folder.
At step 2
I try to get and sort all files of audiobook.
You can have 2 types of sorting for now:
like string: 1.mp3 10.mp3 2.mp3 20.mp3
like int: 1.mp3 2.mp3 10.mp3 20.mp3
It's for setting up the right playing order.
Hope you got it
Step 3 is the name of the book. The same name will be on your phone.
Step 4. Select a free port for your system and press Start button.
If it hadn't threw an exception it is a good sign
Step 5.
Now you have a feed url.
It should be smth like http://localhost:8888/feed.xml
Step 6. Add podcast to zune with this feed. Set it up to play the older episodes first and to sync ALL episodes with your phone.
Step 7. Actually sync your device and listen to your book
There's also video available on how to:

Thanks very much for this
Wonderful!
What about albumart? (I'm downloading right now)
For now it's just a pretty picture of audio book.
May be I'll implement custom pictures in future...
Can this work with protected file?
I don't have any of them, so I don't know....
Updated with new version!
This is awesome!! I have just spent a ton of time trying to find a long and complicated way of doing what your program does in minutes. This makes life so much easier.
Custom pictures would be great.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
Updated with new version.
Now with custom picture for a book.
Awesome
This is really awesome. Keep up the great work.
Very helpful - thanks much!
Feature request: it'd be great to add support for a directory hierarchy instead of a single folder. (This would be helpful for multi-disc audiobooks that are organized into subfolders like Disc1\, Disc2\, etc.)
I'd be glad to assist with coding if needed.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Accepted, I'll code it. Shouldn't be difficult
This is great!
Very nice piece of software!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you! This solves the problem of getting them to list in the correct order!
Now that they show in the correct order under podcasts, is there any way to get one podcast to go automatically to the next file in the series?
I have short segments (5 minutes each, on a 6 hour book) and it's driving me crazy to have to go back to the podcast directory every five minutes and start the next one.
Just hit the play button on the podcast itself (the small triangle on the upper right of the album art) - that will play the segments in the order that you've set in the podcast properties. (For an audiobook, set the playback order to "Oldest first.")
Yes, in Zune set up that podcast should be played from the last (oldest) episode!
Great software, thank you so much.
Thanks very much for the app. It solved the Audio Book problem for me. I do have a "feature request/noob question" though. Can you make the custom picture start looking from the folder I choose the book to be in and not the last folder?
Also not that it really matters but when I start on the next book I get the error:
system.net.httplistenerexception: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request
at system.net.httplistener.getcontext()
at EIWPAudioBooks.FormCreateAudioBook.StartHttpServer(Object State)
I just close the app after each book so its not really a problem although I usally do a few books at a time.
