vNESLight 1.0 is now live, bringing a redesigned GUI, new controls, improved save states and much more. It has also been split up into a fully functional ad-supported free version and a paid version (vNESLight Pro) without ads. Unfortunately that means the xap file will no longer be available for sideloading. Both versions should be up in all of the marketplace regions by the end of the week.
vNESLight (free): http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=3d8e51b8-1884-4aa7-bb2c-2eda47745a27

(Optional) zip, or rar all your ROM files to more easily add a batch of games at once.
2) Login to https://skydrive.live.com/, you can use any Live account u like xbox, hotmail etc.
3) Upload said zip/rar file or nes games to SkyDrive.
4) Hit the + icon inside vNESLight, hit sign in to SkyDrive and navigate to your zip/rar or nes file then just tap on it to add the game(s).
Method 2: (via webserver, or direct link from dropbox)
1) Upload the files to your webserver (or dropbox)
2) Hit the + icon inside vNESLight and enter the full link into the Url box and hit add. Support for zip, rar and nes files.
As always thanks for all the feedback and testing done.

Yeah that's what I'm most worried about as well, wish dev's had Mango already so I could do performance profiling on the phone, but at least it's possible on the emulator.

Looks like you're prayers were answered as dev's got it today apparently.
Aye still waiting for the invite e-mail for the Mango rom update, but I've already installed the new tools.
Currently pushing about 20-25 fps without sound atm, it's abit lower with sound.
Will be great to actually do some profiling on real hardware.
Did you receive your mango invite? I'm running the official Mango beta on my Focus.

Yeah, actually more or less done with the beta version for Mango already, you can seamlessly switch back and forth between the game thanks to the new multitasking.
I'm just trying to figure out how I'm gonna do the UI for the Nodo version.
As for the age old question on how to add roms to the app;
What I've come up with so far is, first you add all your rom files to a zip file called "nesgames.zip" then you open the xap file of the emulator in winzip (or another zip manager).
Finally you can just drag the "nesgames.zip" file into winzip to replace the standard "nesgames.zip" file and voila all your roms are added easily.

Sadly it didn't really, but it's helped a great deal by beeing able to performance test on a actual device.
I'll get the Mango beta version up in a couple of hours, just need clean up a couple of things.
Ok, just wanted to bump the thread to let u guys know that the beta version for Mango is out:
http://nudua.net/files/vneslightbeta1.xap
Check out the first post for more details (Update #2).
Awesome. Going to download and try it out.
Very nice for the first beta. I'm getting about 26-30 FPS on the games I've tried so far on my Focus running Mango beta 2.
Pros:
I like the way you add games to the XAP.
Multi-tasks
Pretty fast
Cons:
Controls
If you reopen the app (via icon) while its running, it relaunches it from the start. I remember seeing a command that you can add that will make it open like it does from the multitask window.
One thing to note. I saw a post about mango got rid of the 30 FPS limit by adding a new line in the program. But I can't remember if it was just for XNA games or if it included silverlight. Not sure if this would help your or not.
Very good work so far!
Yeah the controls are extremly basic, will definitely make them work a lot better.
Gonna check into resuming the app while it's still running, sounds like a much better way.
Tried getting rid of the 30fps limit, but the problem lies with the cpu, can't run the logic fast enough.
Cheers for the feedback
I submitted this to WMPU and they have an article about it. Hopefully this will get ya some more feedback.
I've been messing with the emulator more and it runs much better than the other NES emulator.

Cool cool, yeah I originally checked out that sharpnes based emulator myself, but getting something like that up to par would be a lot of work, considering the original project is so incomplete.
I'm currently checking out various ways to speed up the code even more.
I got my trophy unlocked pretty much just for this... Do you have a list of games tha run fine or is there issues with some games ?

Since this is a port of mature emulator called VirtualNES, most of the mappers (MMC's) needed to play are already done, so most games should work just fine.
The only problem game I've seen so far has been with Kid Dracula, but it's pretty easy to modifiy any single mapper.
But keep in mind, this is still a very early beta.

Most of the games I've tried run fine. Maniac Mansion doesn't display properly in some parts, but I've seen the issue in many emulators.
I see the controls on the first page, I don't have a QWERTY keyboard on mine, is there on-screen controls for this ?
Also for adding/removing games, why don't you look into the USBdriver option ( HERE ). There is addon (works with Nodo and mango) where you can use your WP7 device as a USB drive (same folders as music and pictures), you can create a NESROMS folder in there and anyone could manually add or remove games with out re-deplying the app, just by connecting with USB and closing Zune.
Please hit thanks if this helped !

The controls in the emulator are touch only, as for the controls mentioned in the post at the top are for the Silverlight 4 version, I'll clean up the original post so there's no confusion.
USBdriver looks pretty interesting, but I really don't want to complicate things.
And there's no reason why you can't add your ~50 most favorite NES games from the get go.

CURRENT VERSION NUMBER: 8.0 Beta 4
Hydros Media Center[/CENTER]
Catcher
Are you tired of the same old boring activesync of wmdc for your Windows mobile device? All of us who have used Microsoft’s so-called sync utility know that it’s nothing compared to their Zune software which they have created. Anyway, you’re now in luck. I have finally gotten to the edge of my patience trying to sync up my phone with their software and ive started making my own replacement for it. Currently, Hydros Sync Center supports being used as a normal music player as well as a device sync utility. Due to it being only a beta, you will not be able to transfer files with the phone, but already it is much more user friendly than the old Activesync. All you need to do to install is unzip the package and run the setup.exe installer.
Side Note:
For those of you who don't know what im doing, im trying to make an efficient media player for windows which interacts with windows mobile nicely. As a model, im using many things and features which have been included in Zune Software 4.0. Anyway, I have been working on this alone for a long time and I think it's time to reveal this to the public for some help as well. I would like to post the source code somewhere but im not sure exactly what the process is so please help me on that if you can.
Features so far:
-Settings panel added to beta 4
-View songs on device
-Splash Screen
-Sync With box.net
-Music Library
-Pictures Library
-Apps Bazaar
-Device Support [NEW for Alpha release 4] - you can add and remove songs now
-You can now delete files [New to Alpha release 4] - works now
-WIDGETS [updated interface for beta 4]
Alpha Release 6 - 5/24/10-First ever widget (facebook widget) - lets u chat to facebook within the app
-Fixed the full-screen issue
-Fixed issue of dissappearing songs
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR ALPHA 6: http://www.mediafire.com/?2nlz2yuznhn
Alpha Release 4 - 5/20/10
-Added the ability to add and remove songs in library and device library
-Fixed the comment dialog to show up (it notifies you of any things that are important...like a device being connected)
-Still uses activesync dll so you still need activesync to be installed
(and i cant distribute the dll due to legal issues)
-More stable than before (also faster)
--DOWNLOAD LINK BELOW--
Alpha Release 3 - (5/19/10)-Just added device support (just getting started with it)
-added device song playback
-unfortunately still haven't found a way to connect to device without RAPI (the activesync dll) so it still needs activesync to be atleast installed
-Fixed issues with resolutions under 1333x768 (all over 1024x768 is ok)
-modified the layout of bazaar
-Enjoy!
-Fixed the bug of not having an x button (lol)
*Download link Below*
BIG IDEA I NEED HELP FOR
-In order to keep things away from Microsoft ActiveSync, I need to eliminate the who idea of using RAPI as an interface for communication, so I decided that the easiest other method is to impliment my own thing based on TCP. I tried some stuff with TCP and it's actually quite fast, and it allows WIFI SYNC!!!
-Anyway, the part i need help with is the wired sync. With TCP, i need it to be under a wifi so for those devices without TCP, im not sure how to use the COM port it's recognized as for doing TCP transfers. If you have any other recommendations, please do comment below.
-APP IS CODED IN C# so please do consider that when posting code. I am also familiar with other languages but i would prefer this (anything is welcome though).

good thing, i have an omnia i910, and it has the same resolution. ill let you know what i find.
edit: check the link, it just takes me to some website called directors cut.

Oops...
Im sorry. i think you misunderstood me. This app is meant for the computer and it syncs up with the phone....maybe i forgot to say that
Anyway, so far, the player only plays stuff. it doesn't have device support yet. I am releasing a new version tonight which may have device support.
Great to know this!

Edit: pictures posted as well...enjoy
Flashing a ROM
Is it possible to use this application to Flash my phone like I normally do via Active sync?
how do you flah your phone with activesync? you would need access to firmware...however, you CAN flash your phone (not yet though) but ill add that feature in...
EDIT: can anybody please test and respond if this app works for them? if so ,please post up your system specs...
just posted alpha release 4. check it out now!
Doesn't work it crashes as soon as I launch the app.

dont worry take the time u need, looking forward too the day u publish a full release cuz i hate media player and the way it syncs. Make sure it doesnt autosync all songs in library like media player does. Keep up the good work
what type of sync do you want?
here's version 5. please try it and tell me if it works....thanks
i think doubletwist is better
well thats why i want to make this better. Did you get this running yet?
would this work on a samsungjack device or only professional devices with touch screen
After surfing at XDA i saw this thread about NES emulator found (here) and tried it out, but soon discovered it fps'ed slow, so i created another clone of from another engine "SharpNES".
The SharpNES actualy runs faster without fps hack i did (2 CPU update, 1 CPU Draw) and gain enormous speed.
No sound (like the other one that i know of)
Only one game (Super Mario Bros 3)...
No save
XNA is hard to make a GUI as advanced as Silverlight so no game-change or save
Well i hope you like it
__ Zip in attatch -> rename as ".xap" and deploy

Wow runs very nice!
good job mate
Good!
Great job! It's amazing!
Oh man, you gotta keep working on this; this is fantastic.
Have to say, great job. No slowdown at all. Are you going to continue to develop this or collaborate with some of the other devs working on NES emulators?
I can't wait till there's a final version. Zelda needs another visit!
I will continue for this project, but this was a small in between job because i could not stand the other emulator (just freaked me out, making my brain explode of all the lagg). My cause of small pause is that im developing a real marketplace app at the time so thats priority 1, although im 75% done with that, later i will update (if not anyone wants to provide an UI under the time).
Zelda, yes, for those that have VS2010 can just recompile it with ".nes" file of any game and change "LoadCart( ... ) in UpdateMenu()", although tested zelda and it runs fast ... slow ... fast ... slow ?!?!
"Are you going to continue to develop this or collaborate with some of the other devs working on NES emulators?"
> Just doing what i like most, dev in Wp7
I wouldn't mind helping with the graphics. I used to use photoshop quite extensively until I stopped for awhile. I'm not sure how the developer tools for WP7 handles certain images (or calls for them I should say), but I can help if need be. I created some graphics for the Gameboy Color emulator on the Zune HD. I get ****loads of homework so I can't commit to doing a lot though.
"I get ****loads of homework so I can't commit to doing a lot though."
Sure, me to :/ Just 17 so.. that makes me go to school + programming..
But as i said, got a priority 1 app that i will sell @ marketplace, so this will wait a while. sry.
Glad u asked.

nice work! but im liking tuskas better. maybe contact him and join forces
i cant exit the game using the back button either lol
I 2nd that I can't exit the game. Just have to use the windows button to get the start menu.
Yes, the back button, i used that as [Select] and [Start] button when navigating the emulator without touch navigation (early stages). Probably forgot to delete that code =/
Good ur saying.
About Tuskas, will see how much free time i have, very "real life" busy right now.
Thanks! This is a great first step.
This is an awesome app. I guess the only problem that I have with it is that the controls are at the top thus my hands tend to block much of the screen during game time. Other than that it is amazing...no lag either!

The only way to run this emulator on your phone is through side-loading. In order to do with you WILL have to unlock you phone using ChervronWP7 unlocker. There is no other way to run this app. You cant just sync/copy the files to your phone. As of right now its pretty much going to be a hit or miss when you try to unlock your phone. I have two HD7s and I had no problem unlocking either of them. Good luck!

Hello again
I figured out a quick little change in the WMAppManifest.xml file that allows you to make your XAPs resume, rather than restart, when clicked on from the start menu.
Here's a demonstration:
So here's how it works:
In every WMAppManifest.xml file, located inside the XAPs, there's a line called "DefaultTask". In the Visual Studio IDE, there's little you can do with this line, but if you edit it post-compiling, you can actually do a lot of things. In this case, adding the term ActivationPolicy="Resume" to your DefaultTask will make the application resume the task, rather than replace it (default action). Here's an example:
Original:
Code:
<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="PivotPage.xaml" />
Resumable:
Code:
<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="PivotPage.xaml" ActivationPolicy="Resume"/>
This follows the same rules as the back button resuming, for example, if my dehydration hack is enabled, the code will resume instantly, and otherwise, it will resume with the usual "resuming..." message. It'll make sense
Should be fairly easy for you guys to figure out, and hopefully we'll see some developers integrate this directly into their code
For the end users, though, I've created a simple tool that does this patch for them, then deploys. Info and download over on my website:
http://windowsphonehacker.com/resumablexap
I'd say more, but I'm in a bit of a hurry. Let me know what you guys think, if you have any questions, etc.
Your friend,
Jaxbot
Awesome. Imma try this in a bit with some .xap files I got stored somewhere... jejeje
Sent from my []D[][]V[][]D ARRIVE using Board Express
thanks for this app
really nice find
Cool hack thanks again
I have been experimenting with some xaps with this.
I found some quirky apps:
- Facebook (u already know)
- IMDB
- NU.nl
- Daily motion (does not play the video anymore)
All others I tested seem to work fine. I did not test any games.
Its probably bad coding or not storing the back history or something.
Thanks for the tool. It helps with productivity.
I btw notice more quirky behaviour with the dehydrate on (I could be mistaken)... how is your batterylife Jaxbot? Is it fine with normal use? Or do we have to be sure to close the apps etc?
Are the apps stored in ram temporarily?
Does it affect general performances if you have 4/5 apps in "soft sleep" ?

If you have my dehydration hack enabled, yes, they're in the RAM.
In my experience, no, the performance isn't really affected (there's a reason for that), and as an example, I've had Twitter open for the last few days and I've seen no negative impacts.

Not really. That dehydration hack allowed applications to stay open in the background. This method allows applications to be resumed from that state, directly from the start menu.
Eg, the instant resuming allowed Twitter to be instantly resumed when the lock screen popped up, or when you dive into messages and then click Back.
This allows Twitter to be navigated from, and then returned to, say, a day later, and it will still be where you left it. Nifty, I thought.
Does this new hack improve IM+ functionality? Will the app still have to reconnect with this hack? If so is this related to the lack of sockets in NoDo?

It has to reconnect yes. This is the way IM+ is coded. However the contacts will still be displayed on the screen so its less annoying for sure.
It will look the same as opening IM+ then exit by pressing windows button, than click back, the exact same effect... only now you will have the same if you press a live tile
Thanks for the quick reply, guess I'll have to wait for Mango for true messaging functionality despite all the hard work of devs.

If you use native sockets, you can get around this, but it means you'll have to code your own IM client, which is no fun.

Indeed yes... Unfortunately in some cases it screws up the order of the backbutton press and you will not be able to "escape" from apps or go back to the main Menu. IMDB, FB, some others as well will have to be recoded in order to work with this hack

This is for *current* Windows Phone builds, not Mango. Mango already has this feature built in.
Eg, if you have a developer unlocked device, you can use this on NoDo, pre-NoDo, RTM, etc. You don't need Mango.

The new DolfinX looks very good performing Standards like HTML 5 and passing the Acid 3 Test. All other Systems are worser even Android don't supports more than the new Dolfin, i can only say thank you samsung for the good work even in a pre alpha release.
Performance Tests are currently not possible, cause the Emulator slows down the browser, only the real on device test would bring results. Testing on browserbench brings me only an fatal error while getting results, ...
The Pictures are made with Greenshot, the System is the Emulator 2.0.0b1rc1
The best thing Microsofts Internet Explorer 9 is worser than a mobile Browser
Hey there! Thanks for sharing first of all. There is just one thing which is not clear to me ^^
What does the first picture show? Homescreen editor, theme changer or tab switcher of the browser?
Best regards.
it shows theme switcher
good to know that new dolfin is that much powerful
everything looks great but it seems again we can not switch the browser to full screen mode (like bada 1.0) or maybe I am wrong I hope
i have already posted it that the address bar is like in android dolphin.
sorry I have not read the other topic for some time. Can you do one more test browser (on exactly FlashLite 4) may have opened a website video "vbox7.com" (sorry it is in Bulgarian) who works with "Ajax" technology.
yes on next sdk release, currently the flashplugin in the browser don't works correctly, it is still a beta sdk. please be patient, aslo performance test are not possible, error messages are shown after testing, on the site.
but there are also not much bugs left in the newest sdk revision, it smells like an early public version.
http://static.bada.com/releasenotes/2.0.0b1.html
this means that it deosn't work as accpected, many errors, maybe html5 will also get more features than yet, this is currently the beta 1 emulator. This would be cool, but as an alpha it supports more features than the opponents.
The older sdk 1.2.1 has more issues than 2.0 i think they wonna make it, nearly without bugs.

DO you know if now it is possible to create folders on sd card with SDK 2.0 ..
and what about the sd card? is it still read only?
It's a good news. MAybe the public version will come first half of the July. I hope.
@badamental yes
and the sd card isn't read only if so you would never be able to save something on it, or even delete.

SD card and Phone Mem is read only Please refer http://static.bada.com/contents/doc.../basics_bada_programming/bada_file_system.htm
for read and write permissionon phone memory and SD card.
try to construct a file directly on /media/ or /storagecard/media/ in a app. your app will crash and give exception Access_violation (something like this). For Now there is a workaround to construct a file first in /Home/ folder and then move it to sd /Phone memory using content manager.And thats how we could save a file on SD card or on phone memory.
Any way i dont care about creating a file. Actually i cant find a workaround to create a folder on /Media/ or /Storagecard/Media. Thats why i am asking about write protection.
You have understood it wrong man, yes it is read only for direct io writting, but think about, how you can download with youtube downloader videos on sd card?
You should also know that there is an extra api for such things with that you can delete, add or remove, replace content like video audio and image.
This is only for developers important not for a normal user, you can add remove blablabal files from windows or on the device. Apps must get a special api that they can use such things.
Or rather the privilege which is double testet by samsung to not hurt any personal informations. Funny you are installing apps on the sd card, replacing pictures, deleting files, renaming it, and you think it is read only.
It is a little bit complicated but i have no time to explain you how to develop an app in bada http://static.bada.com/contents/doc...rk/classOsp_1_1Content_1_1ContentManager.html
the content privilege is needet for the whole namespace
http://static.bada.com/contents/docs/apis/bada-V1.0.0a3/framework/namespaceOsp_1_1Content.html
The restrictions you posted are related to apps, they must be better programmed to use such functions.
Do we know something about text reflow?
yes there is text wrapping as option in the other topic you can see a picture, should give you the answer i hope.
This is really great.
Thanks for posting the screens.
btw do you know if it also has a 3D carrousel when you want to switch between different website that you running in the background?

yes definitely already implemented.
looks great tbh,
but when when when ? hope we will not wait for another 6 months..
what about fullscreen navigation in new Dolfin X? the hateful lower and upper bars were finally removed as in Dolfin 2.0 or not (as Dolfin 2.2)?
thanks for your reply!
look at third post beyond yours.

MODERN BROWSING
FEATURED
Massive Overhaul - completely rewritten to optimize the code and unify the overall interface
OTA Updates - updates require little to no user interaction
Security - hide and lock the browser with the touch of a button
Privacy - browsing history is only stored locally and can even be automatically deleted on exit
Auto Complete - suggests words depending on your history
Screenshot - nothing special, but you may take HD screenshots right within the browser
Notepad - notes that save automagically
Open Source - the source has now been released

BUGS
Outdated Browser Component - this browser is based off IE7 on some computers
Mishandles Links - links that open in a new window or tab will most likely open in your default browser

Lemon has been abandoned for quite some time now and I have removed the screenshots and download links. I am considering coming back to this project in the near future when I have time to put Windows on my MacBook. Until then, however, you may play with the source.

I wonder why this is not working on the RT.. I wish I had this device to test some things on. Anyways, this build was focused on 4.0 .NET framework made in visual studio 2012 for windows 8 Desktop. Thanks for trying.
EDIT: Problem is with the installer, download the ZIP below it and use that. I will try to find a fix for the installer. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You would need to target "Any CPU" in the .NET code, and recompile any third-party x86 libraries that you are using to target ARM, and it would probably work then. Most (although not all) of the system libraries on Win8 are also on Windows RT, and (at least in the case of .NET libraries), the ones that aren't can sometimes be brought over from a Win8 box anyhow.

At the moment, I am trying to get geckoFX 15 and xulrunner 19 added to the project so I do not have to use the default WebBrowser component given in Visual Studio. If you would like, I could send you the source and maybe you could help porting to Windows RT and adding geckoFX? Btw after v1.0 this will be Open Source to all Thanks for all the support guys.
Works now thanks, scrolling is a little hitchy how ever its a great start. On another note would it be possible to make the onscreen keyboard auto pop up?
Will the flash be optimized, the browser is really fast. Its just the flash side of things that is buggy.
Seems to bypass the Flash whitelist on Windows RT. That's quite handy.
Re: [APP] Lemon Browser v0.9.7.3
I can surely attempt the auto pop up on screen keyboard, also the glitchy scrolling will be fixed soon. Thanks

Just FYI: a web browser requiring Administrator to run is absolutely unacceptable. Browsers should run with extremely limited permissions (lower than standard user, ideally) rather than elevated permissions. I fixed this by hand-editing the .EXE file's embedded manifest to run AsInvoker (rather than RequireAdministrator). You should change the manifest in VS. Preferably, the whole thing would run in a low-IL sandbox the way IE does, and/or use some other sandboxing technique.
Also, there's little reason, especially for RT-targeted builds, to use Debug unless you include the source files and expect people to use them when reporting bugs. Release builds are typically smaller and faster.
Finally, could you get this to use a somewhat less awful rendering engine than IE7? I don't mind using Trident in general, but IE7 is archaic and awful. How do you justify "faster than Chrome" on a browser that can't even pass Acid2, much less run a modern speed benchmark? Gecko would be awesome, though I don't believe anybody has managed to port it to RT yet so that would be x86-only at first.
There are other things I'd like to see, ranging from simple UI conventions (double-clicking the tab bar, tapping Alt to show the menu bar, etc.) to some significant security issues (loading mixed content - that is, HTTP content on an HTTPS site - is a potentially serious risk).
Re: [APP] Lemon Browser v0.9.7.3
I appreciate the feedback, about the debug, i honestly did not even think about that, its just much faster to update using the debug folder. I will make it the release build next time. Next - about the admin permissions - Unfortunately this is needed to enable the temporary download of version.txt (allows OTA updates). And I was not planning on targeting the RT at all. I simply made this on my windows 8 laptop and released to the public for however they would like. I am now working on a 3D FPS though and will be releasing the code to this very shortly. And for the IE7 subject, I tried using firefox component but it does not allow the "LoadComplete" sub. Simply put, I do not know how to do 'if web page loaded' do this. I need this feature so i can load favicons etc. Please understand that this was made < 1 week ago. I highly appreciate all the comments though because I can not even begin testing all of these. Plus with school and other activities I do not expext this to be a huge project. Just simply a fun project (focused on gui) to add to my projects. Thanks again

No worries on the Debug/Release, just a tip.
The admin thing, though... that's a serious problem. If the problem is just downloading a file, download it to the local application data folder instead of the install directory. If auto-updating is desired, make a separate updater that runs as Admin, and have the browser launch the updater program when it detects an update.
That said, though, admin is only needed if the browser is "installed" to a location where Admin is required to write. Programs installed in (for example) the user profile don't require this. In fact, on machines where the user *can't* get Admin (think about computers at a school, library, or office), the fact that it can install and run without requiring admin is a major advantage.
I understand that this is a side project for you, and I applaud you for hobby programming and sharing it with us, that's fantastic to see. I also do quite like the GUI, although I find it a bit bare-bones at the moment. Additionally, you getting it to work on RT is fantastic. However... I cannot in good conscience recommend using a web browser that sets the state of environment security back by nearly seven years. The web is an extremely hostile "place" and we've learned many lessons over the years. one of the critical ones is that web browsers are simply too easy to attack for them to be trusted; the only safe way to use one is to assume it will be compromised, and run it in a suitable contained environment. Microsoft did his with the IE7 Protected Mode on Vista betas in 2006, but even on XP it was possible to run IE as a non-Admin.
Re: [APP] Lemon Browser v0.9.7.3
I will admit chrome will always be my favorite browser Just wanted to throw something visually appealing together though after seeing all the horribly designed ones on youtube lol. If anyone would like the source just email me. The code is (slightly cluttered) but OCD friendly. everything labeled and named properly. If someone would like the source, i recommend also downloading the android holo icons from their site. That is what I am currently using and this allows identical pre-made light / dark icons.

Hello !
really thank for this build ! :good:
A question:
Can you integrate a download manager which allow us to download files with screen off but which avoid the complet stand-by state of the tablet during the download ?
Because with IE it's impossible to download something with the Surface screen OFF.
It could be a really cool feature, and the only browser which allow that ! :highfive:

Edit:
Oh......
Your browser yet intagrate this feature !
Cool... Now I can download big files with screen Off !
I love you

Thanks! I appreciate that aha. Major update (kinda lol) will be released soon. Have to work on Mango Tools first (I might toss a thread up on this tool) but this can be found on my site mellowdev.net It just allows you to easily perform ADB commands on android phone. Anyways right after this I will work on v0.9.8! Hoping to add lots of cool, unique features to give this browser an edge. I know that speed means a lot and I have received many complaints on using the IE7 component. However my focus at the moment is to add features. Web browsing for most is just type in words and search. I want this to be so much more. So anyways aha thanks again. Love the support here!
