Apps you'd like to see for an unlocked platform - Windows Phone 7 General

Now that the platform has been unlocked, what are the first apps that you want to see written for an open platform.
First thing I'd like is perhaps a simple file manager

The platform hasn't been unlocked yet. What we can do now is side load applications without having to purchase a developer account.

Either or, im still waiting on a Flashlight app that actually uses the flash LED! hehe.

great how do i install it though?

an app to set mp3 ringtones.

That's already coming in an update, developers shouldn't waste their time and should focus on other things

I've got an LG Optimus 7 and also would be interested in an app that uses the LED as a flashlight
Maybe we can get the htc app and sideload it

Actually an app that lists files on the device that uses native code has already been demonstrated. Apps like this could never make it onto the market place, but could be side loaded.

RDP app FTW!

+29 for the HTC flashlight app side-loaded into a Samsung Focus!

All it does is list the files and directories. You can't modify the files at all because the security on them is still intact. It also uses a Samsung dll that doesn't work on most phones. It's a neat trick but rather useless right now.

I would like local outlook sync very much

There are like 400 flashlight apps in the marketplace?
Is the htc one the only one that works with the phone's flash?
I have the hd7 so I didn't realize this was a problem.

Those apps don't use the camera flash. They just, erm, do nothing. Show a white screen.

HTC X-button where can I get it

"HTC X-Button" application is included in latest Pocket PC phones manufactured by HTC and recently it even surfaced on the Internet in form of "HTC X-Button.CAB" file, that can be installed:
Does anyone know where this can be downloaded from????
Need that as well.
Me too...me too
Ditto to that. this seems a good way to alter the way the X works.
I've asked around to see if anyone I know can get it.

Yeah thanks guys, got it, used it and deleted it.
Its seems to close programs but makes everything slow down in the process - to the point of crashing. Think I will just use O2 task manager and close them my self.

No, exclude option. Just press OK if you want to exclude the running app. It will then be left running in the background. The X button works by closing apps only when you tap on the X.

I found on the net that you can use zoom on D-pad but with a resolution of 2Mpx, not 5Mp. But i try and nothing happened !
I have installed, but no zoom bar on my camera!!!!
This is not "an app that adds the zoombar to camera". This is nothing else than the old, original Blackstone Camera (that had the zoom function). In fact, the cab is simply the "Miri BlackStone Camera". Useless.

App for the Screen Capture?

I search for app with video capture of my display. Does it exists?
Only if you have root, in which case you can use the app Screencast - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5tcy5zY3JlZW5jYXN0Il0.
There is a demo app here (but it really is limited) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ms.screencastfree&feature=more_from_developer
You may find you need to tell the settings to record in a higher resolution to make it work.

No. It's not likely to be posted early on Nokia Care Suite at this point anyway. Nokia is locking access to the firmware servers down in 17 days. The window for that to happen is rapidly closing.

Nope, it works fine for me. You may need to refresh the marketplace. Try loading the Games hub, and let it fully sync. See if that works.

100% most definitely. Maybe not start screen tile arrangements as they may make some double wide and quarter size just to show the new sizes (Just guessing, who knows.) but for sure everything else will stay.

This also happened to my device.
So i removed the SIM card did a reset to the device.
I did all the initial configurations without the SIM, configured my Live-ID via wifi, after that the market Nokia appeared to me in the marketplace.
I just inserted the SIM after doing all this.
You do the same.
Flashed. Some ringtones are missing. I could not find the one I set before. Also the weather/usa today app is gone. I installed weather app from market but hen the live tile does not work any more.. also the official USA today app is missing in the market.
another problem is the background picture and fonts for live tile are not clear as before because the tile is enlarged.
Hi i flashed the new version but apps like ringtone maker and bluetooth share says that they want an update for my device to work why??
