[REQ] Homework app (included illustration) - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hi, used the two past days searching and trying different homework apps. Today it was enough, i needed something simple and practical and that just didnt exsist! So i am looking for someone who can bring my idea to life! I will gladly make the graphics for the app, but i have no coding experience. I have included my suggestion for a UI. Simple and practical!
# Features
Add homework
Delete a task (finished)
Set completion date with calendar pick dialog
Present added tasks in a list sorted by due date.
Show how many days intil due date
That is everything! I Hope anyone would help me!
Toughts about the sketchup are welcome!
Im not permitted to post outgoing links yet, therefor the sketchup are added as a attatchment.

It seems hardly worth the effort when Pocket Outlook Tasks can be set up to do every one of the above features, and nag you to death when it needs completing.
Why reinvent the wheel?

True, but the UI are ugly..

Check out alternatives for the calendaring side of things.
Personally I use thumbCal

Hey
has anyone thought of an ui replacement (an app, which accesses poutlook) for the ugly wm task app? Is there any app outthere??
@iNzzane: if noone else has alreade done the job, and you're going to paint the graphics (like in the nice sketch up), why not?

Maybe one of the following apps?
SenseTasks
ManilaTasks

Task App with Sliding Panel Support

Cool idea for Sliding Panel
Hello group, I was loking the panel today, getting to know it better and I realized that the Tasks are not in there; it would be great to have a Sliding Panel to view your Tasks by Categories or at least by Due Date with a similar interface like the Calendar where you can create a task but with the option to select a category eg. Inbox, that would be awesome option; since you all helped me with the Vanilla OS which I plan to use Rickys v14, I would give the contribution to this project.
So to recap here is what I would want from this panel option or addon:
1. Have a panel for the Tasks that shows you which task s are due
a. Today
b. Past Due
c. to create a Task into a category called Inbox
or if all those options are too tedious to code just option C would be good.
So there you have it, anybody interested please let me know.
Thanks in advance
ps. is there a way to backup your current ROM just in case you want to put it back
Dude, You JUST TOOK THE WORDS OUTTA MY MOUTH!!!
I don't know how I forgot to post this but I've always wanted tasks in my sliding panel, infact, more than appointments, I would use tasks anyday.
I'll see what can be done about this. Thanks for reminding me.
P.S: I have use for this, big time as I really need it for school and for personal productivity.
EDIT: Yes, there is a way to backup everything. Google Sprite Backup or SPB Backup (Either are good, I think SPB would be more stable, haven't tried it yet but sometimes, Sprite doesn't copy over everything properly)
Awesome
That's funny, telepathic minds, but yeah this option would be super useful for anybody, after all the native Task app is so old school this would spice things up a lot, for productivity this would be superb, I'm envisioning a nice Vista like icon to match the cool Calendar icon wow I can almost taste it, lol, well hopefully somebody can help with this cause.
Why not work that idea plus calendar functions into the CAppointments panel somehow? There are only two pages there, and they're all about the same general theme... Task, To Do, Calendars, Appointments, etc.
Can you explain further

If you mean me, then not really... I've only been playing with WM and my phone for two days. Really new to this stuff... but I was just throwing what I thought might be good ideas out there.
Well, hopefully somebody with programming experience can chime in
Showaco, Outerdepth or Organic - These are your guys.
I'm in need for this app. Who can help us out?
I think it'd make a good app since most of us need some task management.
Another idea how about making a panel to launch either google maps or the actual live search app, not the crappy Live search on IE and as a bonus a panel for Jivetalk, wow the possibilities are endless, if only I knew how to program

What rom are you running? Ricky's V24 has a "My Programs" panel that you can customize to add various apps using CHome Configurator. I added Live Search to it in about two minutes, with the majority of the time spent trying to find the Live Search icon in the file system.

Great idea
Somehow I got used to the fact of not using Tasks because they weren't on Home Screen, but I'd really use it. So I'm willing to help in anyway I can to make this possible.

Oh really, the actual Live Search application with all the modules, eg. weather, maps, movies etc. Sweet, I have to update my OS to that one, question for you, how fast is it and memory efficient, I tried to upload it but I got an Error 260 hopefully I'll have a little more time and upload this OS, I'm dying to try it.
Cmon, Guys. Someone look into this. I'd love me a Tasks App on the sliding panel. I actually would love to work on this but too bad, I don't know what to do and don't have the time right now. If anything, I'll look into it this weekend and see if I can come up with something.
yes, please someone rescue this idea, imagine being able to input task right the panel, that would be great, then as icing on the cake - create that task to a specific category, OMG, that would be golden better than the Dark Knight lol
this would hands down be the most used app for me everyday.
Good morning, does anybody know of a task app that has support for the Sliding panel to at least view your task, I know it can't be done with the native task app but perhaps a 3rd party app, if anybody knows please let me know. thanks
I would love to see Task sliding panel, so
*Bump
This would be the one of the most used things on my phone if it could be done.

Facebook Application - The big question!

Hi guys,
I Found the Facebook application of xperia phone on the net. The only problem is that you can't start it is because you need the xperia panel system.
Now my question is: Can anyone make this app work on the Touch HD or other phones (without making use of the xperia panel system)?
Any voluntiers for this job or is it simply impossible?
Damn, this is the same questions I was about to ask. It's been 18 days since your post, someone must know something, or be working on something by now.
Or alternatively use the search function on this forum!
In the Developing section there is a thread about this and someone has already tried to port the FB Xperia app onto WM6.1 without much success.
Regards
Xperia's Panel system is used as a framework for applications, so if this Facebook Application use it, I don't think you can easily use it without the panel system.
The only chance is to port the panel system correctly.
just use opera and link: http://m.facebook.com .... it is the best.....!!
put this link to your fav !!!
I have it as my homescreen you can use as well iphone.facebook.com but I don't like it as much as the original mobile site.. Just try both and use the one for your needs. The only thing I miss in the mobile facebook is the chat, other I have everything. hehe, I even forgot how the normal facebook page looks like
greets, cad^^
Well guys I use http://iphone.facebook.com/ ... for now... I see a lot of interesting facebooks apps being made for wm but none have really been released. We'll just have to wait some time
yeah the iphone site seems to solve all needs for an actual app. Thanks for the tip.

I tried Snap2Face last year and it was fine. I just don't do much photo snapping with the HD (for obvious reasons) and uploading to facebook is mostly from my excellent Lumix FZ28
am I the only one that cant get the http://iphone.facebook.com site to work. It brings up all the tabs but no info displays. I'm using the stock AT&T rom. Do I need to upgrade my Opera version?

Guys, you obviously don't know that there is a leaked new Microsoft Facebook app that works quite well on Touch HD!
I have installed it few days ago (search the general forum) and have been very happy with it. Some bugs, yes, but it's like 0.4 version, so it's really early beta.
However, lot of cool functions are there - my favorite: Facebook phonebook! It lists all your Facebook friends that have entered their phone numbers or e-mails and sorts them into alphabetical order. Very useful if you need to call someone and you don't have him / her in your Contacts.

Hi Rozenthal,
I am using this at the moment as well. It is a nice start, I hope MS are doing something more than that. If you look at the video of the Xperia Facebook app, then that's the way to go. It is also based on Windows Mobile, but it uses part of the SonyEricsson panel framework, that's why it might be hard to port it over to other phones.
I expect a lot more apps coming in the next time who are a bit more interactive and more than just a bunch of lists. I am also missing something like the INQ1 from Three already has and is expected on the Palm Pre which does full integration with the phonebook.
If I had some know how of the Facebook API and somebody who is better with graphics than I am, I would love to do something based on the .net CF framework...

Yes, I think for such an early beta it's very promising. And I'm without doubt that this app is only a hint of what's coming on WinMo regarding Facebook integration. I don't have to remind everyone that Microsoft is quite a large Facebook share-holder, so I would guess this alone will enable them to produce better app's then what the competition has to offer.
Not to mention what's gonna happen when Microsoft launches it's WinMo app market system.
As for the full Facebook - WinMo Contacts integration, there's a hint of it on latest Dutty ROMs. There's Facebook integration support that will enable the user to associate his phonebook Contacts with Facebook accounts. Probably with Calendar as well. The integration does not function yet, tough, but it's pretty easy to guess what it would do.
I've been discussing the theoretical functions of this ever since first Manilla3 ROM came up. I predict that it will pull data such as birth date, phone number, e-mail, contact photo, home address etc. directly from Facebook and integrate that information into WinMo Contacts. I also assume that it will pull "upcoming events" into Home screen.
Btw, from what I know (not much ) Facebook API is very stiff and far from being friendly for 3rd party apps pulling data out.
Indeed, it works perfect on the touch hd.

[REQ] Timetable program that's finger friendly

Hi guys,
Unfortunately it's that time of the year again where students go back to their universities and begin the process of temporarily absorbing material so that they can pass exams in order to get a piece of paper (Certificate) =P.
I have been looking for a program that will list all of my lectures/tutorials in a way that will integrate with TF3D, but unfortunately, most of the programs do more than I need and don't really look nice. I don't want to use the Home Screen for this because it would be too cluttered, and I don't want to use the Calendar for this because I want to reserve this for important/once-off events.
I am wondering if anybody would be willing to make me/teach me how to make a program that will simply list all of my lectures/tutorials for the day? Ideally it will be accessed through an additional tab in TF3D (using Singh's 15 tabs? or something else?). I am thinking that the list will give the subject name/title, location and time details. There is no need for things like assignments, due dates, etc, as this can be done through Calendar. Preferably this program will also be finger-friendly!
Is there something I can use to program it myself (I have basically no programming experience)? Or is someone able/willing to help me? I am willing to help out with the interface.
I think that this may be a relatively simple program to write, but I have no idea how to do it. Or is there something out there that does this already? I have searched the forums for "timetable", and also Google for "timetable windows mobile app", but nothing seems to suit.
Thanks guys!
Okay, by the number of views on this thread, I can probably guess that this is something that people are interested in...
...but nobody seems to know how/interested in doing it =S.
I am also thinking that this can be expanded into other uses, say, a To-Do list that's available at a glance, or a shopping list. I think it would be look best if it looked like the other TF3D tabs, both icon-wise as well as the theme wise (ie: see-through/big entries/smooth scrolling).
If anyone is willing to point me in the direction of how to make an app like this, I am more than willing to give it a shot. I only have a basic understanding of Visual Basic (from high school, lol ). But I can give it a shot.
Can someone point me in the direction of how to make this app? Or better yet, do it for me?
My bad about the double-post, but nobody seems to want to post!

Im a developer, I know some basics. Give me ideas.

As the title says, Im a developer but I dont know anything majorly complicated.
I want YOUR ideas for something to make.
Stuff I know:
Things to do with the file system - copy, paste, delete, create etc
Read/write/create text files
Simple or even more complex UIs (nothing too extreme though)
most of the basic stuff
Heres a video of stuff Ive done before:

Maybe a new app to replace and improve SmileySMS ( development is stopped, and on windows mobile we can't have smileys in sms without this buggy app).
I wish a prog for my HD2, very simple : Use Webradio (with url) as ringtone !
Hi Cris,
I am looking for an app that can do the following:
Disable the touchscreen.
Why?
It's annoying when you watch movies and accidentaly touch the screen (especially with core player).
The app would have to disable the touchscreen after a set time, so you have enough to start the movie (or other application).
A certain area of the screen would have to be defined as touchable, so that you can disable again. Maybe with a gesture? ie. swipe from bottom left hand corner to top right???
just an idea

I would like a app that does the following:
All for the Sense music tab!
When NOT in a call:
Long press : Play / pause
Pressed twice : Next song
(If possible:
Pressed three times: previous song
pressed shot : call)
When you are being called:
short press: pickup / hangup
PLUS
The hardware buttons (buttons on the PHONE) MUST be disabled,
But ONLY when the headset is plugged in!
With no headset plugged in everything should be as normal!
Could some developer please make this?
Maybe you can use code from the following:

Great Greet Giblet
I've actually been pitching this one around but no luck yet ... A small GPS toggle cmd app. Here's an OSS project that may have usefull code.
What I would like it to have is:
1- Commands to toggle GPS on or off
2- Stay running and output number of connected satellites and connection status (position fixed/not fixed) as a reg name/value
3- Maybe other stuff (like coordinates, hour/date, update system time... but what I really want is the first point 1 and 2).
Why would I want such an app? To add a GPS connection manager to my today screen HS++ skin (also maybe make a script that will only launch my device navigation software when it has a position fix).
PS:
Other stuff I'd like to see are either other small cmd apps or small updates/fixes of some OSS apps like GSFinder+ or even emulators (small stuff like adding onscreen controls using existing sources, emulate mutli touch or improving controls by mixing the use of oncreen keys with hw ones or minor GUI standardization and fixes related with new devices screen resolution).

Slide2Action
Hi cris, How about a simple slide to do anything? Just a scrollable list of blank sliders that you can assign a function too, eg launch an app, blank screen, reset, close all, new message, WiFi, bluetooth etc. the list could be endless. Just a scrollable action screen with sliders instead of buttons. Transparency would be a bonus for a nice visual.
well folks, youve given me plenty of ideas.
A few of them ill try to work on, sadly many of your ideas are a little beyond me
Anyway, Ive got some stuff to be doing so I wont be checking out this thread anymore.
If any developers feel they want to take up any of these, please feel free ^_^

Hi Cris,
if you can consider my suggestion to develop a "shopping List" + "Inventory" apps I think is not that difficult to develop. It almost similar to like any shopping list app & you be able to keep track of the inventory list maybe with photo or pic is good enough.
pls do consider this apps, as both iPhone & WinMo still do not have such app yet. If you do build up, you will be the 1st to come out with.

yes let's steal some more apple patents!!! The idea is great! Few months ago I already asked this topic in the S2U thread but no response, probably my request got overseen or the guy is just too busy with other stuff.

[Q] Need something to make this app easily and quickly.

I need some help with an app I'm developing. It's a farm/ranch management app that sets notifications in your calendar to remind you to do essential tasks as well as events that should occur on that day (i.e. insert nesting box, kits due today, etc.). I plan on starting with one or two animals and adding updates later to include any animal that might be on a standard farm. I've attached some screens of what I want my design to look like that i made in photoshop below. If anyone has any recommendations as to which coding software I should use or how to implement features I would greatly appreciate it.

In order to better supply an answer, it would be beneficial for me to know your background. Do you have any software development experience? Coding Languages? Etc.

I work for Kinetise.com, which might be just what you need. You can make fully functional apps (including adding items to the user's calendar, which you said you needed) without writing a single line of code, and they are purely native. You can try the editor without even registering (and download an test app on your phone as well, it will just expire in 24 hours if you don't upgrade it), so give it a try.
