UPDATE - 20.10.2010
--------------------
Due to overwhelming interest in the source-code I've decided to attach it here in the frist post.
Maybe some of you can collaborate, or do your own twist on it.
Some specs:
ASP.NET MVC2 (.NET 4 & C#)
Entity Framework as ORM
SQL Server 2008 (Express used for development)
Scripts for creating database and inserting some dummy-data is included.
Don't expect clean and tidy code. Some places it's a real mess...
Enjoy!
UPDATE - 12.10.2010
--------------------
The reason for updating this first post is unfortunately not the reasons I hoped it would.
I'm sorry to say I no longer have the time or energy to uphold the devotion and work required to finish the marketplace site. Being in a full time job, having a life and everything that includes simply does not allow for a project of this scale to be developed in a timely fashion. It's with regret I'm prematurely ending the project, and I'm sorry for disappointing you by doing so.
In addition to the lack of time, it's also a lack of motivation - reason being the introduction of WP7, already existing similar solutions for Android and Apple has it's closed-up AppStore.. I'm just not sure I see the potential I once did.
If anyone would like to have a look at the projectcode, I will more than happily zip it down along with the database script. Please PM me if you're interested.
Once again, I'm really sorry.
[ANNOUNCED] XDA-Marketplace
Hi all!
I have mentioned this in another thread, but wanted to hilight this request.
I`m woundering if there is a chance that some one could make a "XDA Markedplace" for the phone?
So all Themes, tweakes, programs and other could be collected in one place
Would also like to see something similar on this site. All in one place!
Or an external site with categories. Graphics, info and download on the program, tweak, theme etc, and discussion her on the board.
I dont know if some of this things are doable, but i would really like so se somehing similar
-Exlo
a marketplace would be nice, because you could highlight programs as functionalable or not to secific devices or OS!
Some time ago I thought of creating a new marketplace for WM but I'm not so sure if we really need it.
Wow that would be awesome! It'd be like cydia.. only for WM!
Great idea, moreover, nothing to pay to Microsoft for a app on this kind of marketplace, so we can imagine to put others free apps (which are not on the microsoft marketplace)
Ok, so lets say someone will create a new wm appstore/marketplace, which features do you want it to have? So far:
1. Many apps (unlike MS marketplace), including from xda developers.
2. Requirements by OS/tested with devices.
3. Accessible from browser and/or WM app.
What else?
World wide acces to all apps. No more regions!

4. Screenshots of application
I think this is a great idea. The xda forum is hard to navigate since there's no categories. The forum should only be used as support and beta.
Martin
the main idea was to gather all apps, tweaks etc. in one place since its very hard to navigate in the forum without categories.
Would also like to se a section her in the forum(or external) with categories and graphics.
I have tried to write this many many times, why and how this could be done, but my english is so poor, that i almost couldnt read it my self
doesn't sound hard to achieve, there are so many windows mobile app sites but none it seems really stand out.
If we can create a website which can be accessed via pc, mobile friendly website and also a wm app then we have a winning combination. All we need to start is some web hosting - and that's not exactly expensive. Surely we have enough people on the forum who have the right skills to make and design the various bits.
+1. Great idea.
MarketPlace and its stupid region restriction is so frustrating.
I'm on it
Anyone feel like whipping up some design sketches?
What I have planned so far:
- No login required unless you want to upload your own apps or leave comments/ratings on apps
- Only freeware/donation-apps will be allowed in the beginning
- No limitiations regarding phonemodel or os
- Of course no regions
- Anyone can upload their own apps, update with new versions.
- Commenting and rating funcionality
- Screenshots
At the moment I've set up the database structure, and most of the "business-logic" layer of the application, but no web-interface has been done yet.
I've written the service-layer with an open API in mind - That way we might encourage the more savvy WinMo-developers to create an app for the phone, since I'm no good at that.. I'll make a simple mobile-friendly verison of the web, and I'm also implementing automatic QR code-generation and support for Microsoft Tags for easy scanning and downloading to your mobilephone.
When I get closer to finish, I'll probably open a new thread announcing it, but for now, let's keep the discussion going here.
+10 Spot on...

I think it looks lovely, could have a block above the categories showing "What's new" "Most Popular" Etc.
+ The App should have a feature to check compatibility of App with device + OS + Custom OS. - This is a must included feature.
+ Ability to add extra sources
Excelent idea guys, the cydia compentence is completly necesary for a new interest, and possibilities for HD2 and powerful hardware and screen multytouch
good idea, keep it up!
greetings from spain!!
Big fan of this project. I would call it the best possible marketplace because of all the support you can get on this forum and although the quality of apps in this forum, but till now it has been quite uncomfortable to follow all these great projects. This could be awesome.
This is one BRILLIANT idea. +5 for this project.
i got to say i think this is the best thing i have ever seen and not only that it will force microsft marketplace to lower its prices, improve and be mroe free like andriod/apple app stores....
can i just ask one thing, could you have phone specific as well for applications like BSB Tweak and all those Touch X cabs and so on, and i was thinking it would also be great if the martketplace had a customizable skin, think of the fun people could have creating their own looks

Hey all,
I recently wrote a new program that you can all have if you want.
This will log all incoming and outgoing calls and publish them as private appointments on your calendar.
This is great for logging when you talked to someone, or you can just go back and edit the new appointment and add notes directly to it.
After you install it you must either launch it manually by browsing to the installed file location, or you may simply reboot your device and it will launch upon the next boot automatically.
Requirements:
Windows Mobile 5 or greater
.Net Compact Framework 2
I have only tested on my HTC Cingular 8525

Enjoy!!
Also, let me know if you have suggestions

-------------------------------------------------
Update: A user pointed out a bug with the date in this app, I have corrected this now please uninstall the old and redownload the app and reinstall.
Sounds really cool I am checking it out now.
I am also starting to develop some windows mobile apps. I am a web app developer by trade. All of my professional work goes into developing .NET 2.0 web apps. I just started developing on the compact framework. I find the compact framework to be very easy but I am starting to wonder if I should just focus on C++ for the mobile platform instead. It seems that everything I want to do is done through interop and only the interface is done on managed code. What do you think?
I am new to developing for the windows mobile platform as well, but from what I have found is there is a lot you can do with the compact framework, but the documentation is virtually nill.
That being said, you could still develop using the .net cf 1.0 and not require the 2.0 to be installed as 1.0 is already embedded into the rom.
My personal thought is take advantage of the .net it saves lots of time and coding. I wrote my program in about 3 hours.
Also, let me know if you want my source code, I'll be glad to offer it up.

Source code would be cool. It doesn't seem to work on WM6 unless it doesn't log outgoing calls. Or perhaps I need to soft reset to get it to work?
I am working on an app to get the time via an internet timeserver. There is one available for $15 but I think I can make a better one myself. Do you have the new SDK with the WM6 device emulators? It makes testing a lot faster for these litttle apps.
Let's get this thing going, this is XDA developers, most people here are like where can I get the latest rom, which is cool but I think we can put our heads together and develop some apps that will solve problems or extend functionality on the platform.
I will gladly offer my source code also. Do you use VS2005?

I do use VS2005, the WM6 SDK is at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3A-A651-4745-88EF-3D48091A390B&displaylang=en
Did you launch the program when you were done installing it? Do you have the Compact Framework 2.0 installed? A reset of the device will launch the program automatically so if you haven't launched it you could simply reset. Let me know and I would like to get it working for you.

Ok it does work after a soft reset. That is pretty cool.
I am going to do a little more work on my internet time app then I will release the source code for that also. Right now it is the most basic of apps. I only spent maybe an hour on it. Most of that time was spent looking around on the net for how to use the interop to set the time and whatnot.
I can't load the project, it says something about not being able to load something that doesn't exist in my datastore.
Question, why use VB if you know all those languages? Your resume says that you do all sorts of development. Why o why use VB?
You don't have the WM5 SDK installed

I installed your new one and it caused the time recording to be off by -4 hours. I am in EST (-5)
Old one ran perfectly.
Modified CallCalendar
I have taken KingFetty's app and modified it to have more functionality.
* Added menu's
* Configurable to optional minimizing on startup. (Running it again will restore the app.)
* Added a list box to show the records.
* Added the option of recording missed calls as well.
* Added notification. Using WM notification services, it can optionally show a popup when a tracked event occurs. I used this for debugging, but some may like it.
Let me know what you think, and any suggestions for additions.

Cool application and pretty simple. Thanks!

It will keep track of your minutes on outgoing and incoming separately. You can also reset the values when you want. It will remember the values between launches.

Hello!
My colleague has pulled of the amazing achievement of installing some sort of malware on his phone, i have no idea of how he did it or what .apk he installed to get it.
It shows itself by randomly showing a notice in the pull down bar, saying something about improving battery life, when the notice is clicked it opens a website:
hxxp://get.batteryoptimizer.net/lp6.b/index.html?utm_source=cb&utm_campaign=2012-01-13.c.pro&utm_term=sweden&custom_tag=en-minasmstips-Sweden
(disabled the automatic BB-code link, site contains mentioned malware use with caution )

I can not find any suspicious app anywhere on the phone, and the phone is not rooted so i can not open a ADB shell to find it either.
Anyone have any idea of what this is? How can it be removed?
I cant find any information about this when googling it either.
He had the same thing on his old phone, Nexus One, so i dont know if he got the virus when it re-synced installed apps through gmail account when installing the new phone or if he succeeded to install the same malware .apk manually on both phones.
Ill be happy for any hints at all about this.
check all .apk's in /system/apps/ and try to remove those u dont know via titanium... also try avast! internet security from market... its free and imho the best anti-malware out there for android
PS: w/o rooting forget the titanium method...

I have seen people mention it on twitter
And from what I recall it was another app they have installed already that's spamming them with ads
this is only from what I recall from my twitter stream however, ask you friend what apps he has installed lately and check the market comments on those to see if other people have had the same issue
Uninstall all recent Market apps.. It may have been hidden inside another app, so just uninstall some apps. If you get forced to, you might have to clear data in recovery.
Its an ad nor.ally by airpush. Developers have been using this as these ads pay more. Look for an airpush locator app from the market. It will tell you what app has it built into it.
Great stuff! Quite helpful for me.
Thanks for the help everyone.
I found the app, some spanish learning app. link
Found it using theese two apps:
Addons Detector
AirPush Detector
Thanks everyone
is useless app
Received a notification of this batterycrap already 2-3 times. I will now use airpush detector to find out which damn app is the root cause for that stuff.
App removed
Hi Guys
Thanks for the advice on this piece of malware. I installed airpush locator app, and it identified my humble 'notepad' app (that was recently updated itself)

Phew!
Hmmmmmmmm nasty indeed !!!!!!!
But everyone needs to stop calling junk like this "MALWARE",
It is "ADWARE" a well known form of spam essentially.
Where as "malware" is an application that either degrades system performance or is involved in malign activities.
It being hidden installed on your phones, against your will doesn't make it malware
The reason it matters is the rather rapidly growing assumption amongst the general public that Android is a malware troubled flatform. Which it is not.

Hey Guru
Good point about the naming of the problem! Although on this occasion, whether it's 'malware', 'adware', or even 'underware' the name is less relevant. I think the point is that someone has infiltrated our phones and we needed to find the culprit
Personally, if it's 'pushing' stuff to my phone without me knowing, then in my book, that's 'malign activity'.
Glad I got rid of it though

Well said! Yeah..and that's the point. The original app - Notepad - was a 'safe' one.. so I let it install when it said that an update was available. The latest version introduced 'extra' permissions that I didn't look out for because I assumed it was still essentially the same app and therefore it would NOT allow ads/apps to be pushed.
I'd say that was 'less-than-honest-behaviour' - Maybe it should be called 'ReadTheSmallPrintWare'

If you install via market and an apps permissions change later it does highlight them in bold to bring them to your attention.
But they should say "can push notifications to your phone".

It does take away the ability to use libraries out of the box of course but with some work it's still possible.
Biggest draw back for indies is the license fee as soon as you want to push it to a device. It's only free for emulator deployments :/

I didn't know that until now. It looks like an interesting alternative. But looking at it also permitted me to refresh my news and Xamarin's solution now use a size cap for the free version (instead of earlier a the limitation to not deploy on devices)

Some people have inquired about the possibility of having a Google Play alternative, sort of like Cydia is an App Store alternative. While that may sound like a good idea, it’s not absolutely necessary like it was on iOS. With iOS, Apple would outright reject any app or tweak submitted to the App Store. Google is much more lenient on what it will accept, and it has less strict rules about the openness of certain apps. That’s why it is possible for Saurik to submit WinterBoard to Google Play and get approved. There is no absolute need for an alternative like there is with iOS.

With all of that being stated, I think that an alternate store would be beneficial for a couple of reasons, but one sticks out above all others. I think that a Google Play alternative would be good simply for organizational purposes. On iOS, you know you go to the App Store when you want to download an App Store app, and you know you go to Cydia when you want to download a jailbreak app. The lines are rarely, if ever, blurred. With the Android situation, I can see things becoming a lot more confusing with everything being mixed in together.

Not quite. There are some tweaks available, That includes Winterboard (theme chooser for any rom, also use icon packs for any launcher on a stock rom).
This is just the beginning, as you see in the below image. But I hope it turns out to something big.

you can check it out on google, its a major hit for android, but I guess I won't be seeing it as I no longer own an android device, but an iphone
I did see it... Absolutely ridiculous.. Didn't even work, very poor... There's Xposed Framework for such and much more options... Anyway what have you done ?! Im no fan of iPhone nor the shi*y OS, we chose Android for a reason... And it your choice, enjoy

LOL, the iPhone was a present from my uncle, I can't say no. But I'm sure I will return to android some day.
On Topic again...
If you use the Winterboard app found on the play store you can transform your phone into one another, I haven't tried it yet, but people are saying it has issues

I am terribly sorry it did not work for you, but I will point out that it was just released when you tried it. I will also ask if you meant that WinterBoard didn't work (which is somewhat to be expected: it's kind of hit-or-miss) or Substrate itself. Finally, I will point out that Substrate (in comparison to Xposed) allows you to inject into daemons, hook native code, supports Intel devices, runs on Android 2.3, and has constant-time performance (Xposed gets slower the more hooks you install); while there are certainly more things developed right now that target it for a user, I think it provides many more options to the developer. Over the last couple weeks I've been able to get it rapidly supporting all of the corner-cases people have been throwing at me with regards to random ROMs, so if your issue was with Substrate (not WinterBoard), then I somewhat expect that you might not have issues anymore with a more recent version. (If you are on an HTC version, a workaround for full support is coming in 0.9.4008, to be released to the Play Store later tonight.)

I'm sorry for the late reply. This is actually caused by a bug in your Superuser application, which is stripping library paths from executions of setuid programs. This was fixed in later versions of most Superuser programs, but some people don't have that fix. I actually made a new version of Substrate a while ago that totally bypassed this kind of issue entirely, but for various reasons (mostly life stuff: life sucks sometimes) I did not get around to releasing it. There will be a big update to Substrate in the next couple days that includes this change.
Hello guys,
We are a small team which is about to make its first game. It is a realtime multiplayer bubble shooter. So far we have some design tests and almost no coding done. It is going to eventually be released for Android and iOS for both smartphones and tablets.
We are also looking for a good realtime backend API platform. Do you have any experiences with such?
We think we have picked the right ad platform:

Here's a design test:

Oh, thank you! We are working hard so we can make a video of the game in action. We will alsp be revealing some very cool game mechanics as soon as we have them implemented.
Available in China?
I showed this to some of my Chinese friend. They are interested.:laugh: Do you think you can make this game available in China?

Hi, I've been reading about releasing games in China and so far I am not really sure how to do it. I know there are dozens of app stores other than google play and the app store. Putting the game there won't be a big problem I guess, but the in-game purchases will have to go through the google and apple accounts of the users. Now that I do not know if will be an issue for Chinese players. How do Chinese players pay for games? Do they use credit cards?
Also there is localization which I will do my best to get at least in mandarin and spanish.
If not, the single-player will be free anyway (albeit with ads), while the multiplayer will get a candy-crush style system of hearts you lose for a loss and you have to buy in order to play more.

Releasing game in China is tricky but not impossible.
First you must decide how you are going to make money.
If you go with the mobile ads route, then just find company that has an SDK that provides ads.
If you want in-app purchase, you just need to find a Chinese payment SDK that takes Chinese payment methods.
Google play is not supported well in China so you will have to find a different submission service that takes your APK and send it to all top stores in China.
My favorite is appigniter.com
They have payment and mobile ads SDK. And pays you through your paypal account.
There are others like
papaya
onepf.org
inmobi
All interesting choices but not sure how good they work.
Thank you very much! That did help a lot. We will surely try to include a Chinese payment method, it is a gigantic market after all.

Hey PopNationOnline
Uploading to each of the app stores in China can be a painstaking process. To make this process easier, you can try App Publish by InMobi. Its free and you will have to upload your app once and your app will be published to around 160 app stores across the world. I think it'll really help you.

Haha, free advertisement. Still, thank you! I might just end up using it.
I talked to a Papaya representative in China and he was very keen on making me give up the idea of using their payment SDK and dealing with China in general. I found it very strange.
