[APP] Tip calculator... yea i know its been done 4 million times before - Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games

**UPDATE*
See the bottom of this post for XAP
**
g'day all.
I'm currently writing a quick tip calculator for WP7, i know there are billions of them but there arent many free apps on wp7 yet with everyone trying to make some money and i wanted to release something quick, easy and free just to check out how much hassle the approval process is and see how long it takes MS to get something out once submitted
I wanted to keep it in styling with WP7 as much as possible, let me know what you think

**UPDATE**
Evening guys, finally getting off my lazy ass and submitting this ( year 5 months later and yes I'm aware no one cares about tip calculators ) but I just wanted to give it out here first see if anyone wants to give it a go and make any suggestions and whats broken or what would be better. I designed it because tip apps are everywhere but they always look like ass. Whilst they are always going to be rubbish , you might aswell have one which fits the WP7 metro theme... and the name tip metro, I'd like it changes, so suggestions please !

This is a great design. A very unique take on the function. Great work!
BTW, how did you get the image?

Thanks for the kind words.
The image was just found on google when searching for windows 7 phone. its just the stock one also use in the emulator. Then added my app front end image and then skewed at an angle.

Looks really nice and refreshing from some of the apps that don't look like they belong in the metro UI. Good Job!

With 90+ tip calc apps on the marketplace... I cannot find your app!! Please help!! The interface looks awesome!!
What is the icon I am looking for on marketplace? Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed response.
I intend to have this fully released on the marketplace ( for free ) soon.
If it takes too long to go through approval ill host the .xap and distribute it here for you and anyone else who wants it

Bump magic Bump.... new info in main post

Hiii
Looking a nice design

Design makes a difference!
I really like the use of the panorama here. This app is a perfect example of how the use of a simple control change the perceived quality and the functionality of an app.
Liking it so far!

Also really like it. Clean, simple, and easy to use. Great work!

Thanks for the nice comments guys, apologies for the delayed response.
when it's fully finished ( still a few small issues ) ill put the XAP here but an Ad supported one will hit the market place. I have just been really lazy at getting it finished

Iphone App Review And Ipad App Review

This custom pack is dedicated my late grandmother whom i love very much...
Great, that's really promising !
So simple and so nice, well done
Wow! This looks really good. Keep it up man. Im looking forward to it.
Looks very sweet, just subscribed to your thread
The blue looks great...good job!!
any link to dowload??
hey this is great, subscribing.
Beautiful !a dood job !
Looks good. I'm subscribed also. Sorry, I don't know how to fix the issue with the tab though. You may end up with an easier job using RL Today or Battery Status, though I much prefer HTC Home.
Good!
Nice quest you started , I wish I could help with relocation of the orb icon.
If may I suggest: The clock leaves are very clean proably the best I´ve seen around), however looks for me that the gloss effect at the top is a little too big (imho)

tnx mhan. i was by inspired by those who are trying to make our devices have a wm7 feel of some sort.
about the clock, it's not the final though. and yes it sucks i just can't come up with an idea of a different clock which is far from the looks of the diamond clock. if you will look at the number "2" at the upper portion, its not yet clean. hehe... i hope anyone can give me any ideo about how the clock would look.
**hope someone can help me about the tabs
anyone?
first suggestion: use a really clean font, eg Calibri (vista default font). Try a few different versions, one with more effects, one with less, one without any.
If you´ve got Photoshop, its really easy to play around with these things. If you haven´t got, I suggest you ask anyone in this forum to do this. Normally I´d suggested myself for this work but atm I´m too busy to do any additional (design-) work
regards,
Martin
The theme looks good.
There was some DLL file that was around before that I think might have allowed for repositioning of the tabs, but I can't remember. If that doesn't work, the actual HTC Home dll might have to be hacked on to make it default to tab 3.
When the fill image was modified, was it saved in the exact same format? Was it set for the same transparency?
Where to download?
Congrats mategreat work
We all are waiting to download it and test it!!!
Cheers
Very promising theme, I'm definitely looking forward to this to come out. I like the home icon being in the center and i can see the idea of the clock resembling the diamond but it is still unique in my opinion

if im to modify the dll itself, maybe some can point me where and how.
@m.schmidler
i'm using photoshop..like i said the images are not final and im open to suggestions...thanks for suggesting calibri...i think ill try it...why did i never thought of it..hehe...tnx m8t..
@orb3000
ill post the files as soon as the problems are fixed... im also kinda busy in my office..but if someone can post the solution for my problems, it might be done easily.
thnks guys.
Nice artwork, looking forward for the release.
I'll see if I can figure out how to possibly mod the DLL to load tab 3 first. No guarantees on my success though, since I'm not a pro at this kind of thing.

Yeah, you can chop, sample, mix, effects, and just about anything else you can do with a full sized drum machine. I know this is an extremely complex app, so chances are, we're SOL. but here's to wishful thinkin!!!
Yes this could be good, plug your TP into a mixer, brings a whole new capability to the device.
I also think though, that to port such an app would be an enormous task.
+1 on wishful thinking
Close thread
I think it's safe to say we can go ahead & close this thread. It's not getting too much interest, so i'm assuming it's either damn near impossible to port, or none of the dev's are really willing to give it a shot. Hopefully someone will drop a similar program from WM.
can somebody please port this i need this in my life.
People People...Look
You people have to Do your homework there is ton's on ppc Recording Studio Apps a big one is Called phoenix Studios /you have pocket music Studios/you have pocket jamz/ So go look them up

no my friend... while these are all nice apps, they are NOT beat maker. None of the afore mentioned apps have a full functioning drum machine built into it. Not to mention, NONE of the apps allow for 3rd party plug-ins like Pro-Tools export, rewire, t-racks, etc. Beat Maker is the real deal. I'm seriously debating buying a iTouch SIMPLY for this app!!
Maybe you should contact the maker of the App and see if he would port it himself. Maybe he's already making a WM version to sell on the Windows Marketplace.
For the record, I would also be willing to pay to get a port of this app.

damn, why on EARTH didn't i think of this myself?! i might have to look into this.
i have this app "phoenix Studios" and i love it but its not vga and i stop using it because i didnt have enought memory to keep it going on my old ppc6700.
i almost got an iphone just to get that drum machine apps.
Wouldn't the fact that Raphaels do not have a capacitive touchscreen really hinder this Apps original functionality/awesomeness?
Our touch screens are resistive, and are thus incapable of multitouch like an iphone or g1 for example. (I have seen a demo of multitouch on a supposedly resistive screen around on the nets, but never seen a resistive device with multitouch capabilities released) http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/stantums-mind-blowing-multitouch-interface-on-video/ here's the vid
Just a thought, hope your dreams aren't too dashed.
no need to multitap and such.. we just gotta contact the maker of beatmaker and see if hes brewing a version for WM6.1 platforms!
so is this thing ported yet?
Omniano the Band, is the closest thing to date. The other would be Little Snazzy Drummer, which has a free Lite version as well as a paid version. Neither of these are quite as complex as the app. you mentioned, though I find them both very usable and entertaining.

[ Self Promotion ] Need Windows Mobile Users Feedback - Review Site

Hi
A wonderful New Year Wish to everyone ...
I have been working on a new Windows Mobile App / Game Review site. It has been in the work for a while now and I think it is a good time to introduce it to you guys.

We try and review each app / game trying to focus on the Pros and Cons of each of them.
Site URL : http://www.bestwindowsmobileapps.com/ ( if thats too hard to remember plz use wmArcade.com it will redirect you to us )
Games Category : - it is a work in progress : http://www.bestwindowsmobileapps.com/windows-mobile-games
If you guys can give some suggestions as to what is wrong with the site, how we can improve it etc. That would be great. Praises are welcome too
If you wish to Subscribe via RSS : RSS link
We are working hard to add more content. Thanks to the great team of reviewers we have. Looking fwd to hear your thoughts
We find the interesting Windows Mobile Apps and Games, then we test and score them so our readers can make an informed choice before purchasing or downloading these apps. If you are after Windows Mobile Freeware then you might want to check our sister site : 1800PocketPc.com
How to Interpret our Rating System :
We rate the Windows Mobile on various factors like
User Interface : is it finger friendly, does it look nice, etc
Features : what does the app do, has it got any feature that makes it stand apart from other similar apps
Ease of Use : is the app intuitive, has it got good documentation on how to use, etc
Re-use Value : Once you install it will you go back to this app or just forget about it and why
For games we also consider
Graphics : has the game for good graphics ?
Sound : is the music and sound effect appealing or annoying ?
We rate all of the above mentioned criteria from 1-5 , one being the least appealing and five being the very best. Then we give the app an over all score.
It looks good and has useful info. I will take a longer visit later but I liked it. Thanks.

you are welcome. I am glad you like it.
Just had a quick look...
maybe you should categorize the games by supported screen resolution, cause there are games which are not supported by WVGA resolution, and it would be rreally nice If you could open the games section and view only the games which work on your devices screen!!!
Sorry if its already on site and I missed it, as I said - just a quick look..
Truely we required this type of info sharere..
Thanx for sharing bro..Excelent work dear..
Is it possible that you can provide the beta or under testing app info for WM6.5 also.
I think when your reviewing games do graphics, gameplay and sound
Because gameplay is what motivates you to play the game further.
and i like your site!
It looks like a blog site a bit and when i go to a review site it turns me away when it look big and like a blog.
flyboy
@ Kristaps-K9-Lv : with the level of fragmentation on WM it will be hard, but we will try and include the supported resolutions ( provided we can get the info from the developer, coz we currently dont have the resources to test it on all available resolutions. May be this will change in the future )
@ psolunke: thanks . At the moment we are trying to focus on games and apps that are out of beta and ready for widespread use. If we get more reviewers down the line we might be able to include those
@flyboyovyick2k9 : excellent idea we will try and add gameplay in to the future reviews.
I have never been to this site, but its one for the bookmarks! Looks nice and clean. Easy to use and very useful!
Maybe a new URL though? I dont like the bestwindowsmobileapps.com too much of a mouthful. Thats my only complaint though!

Those look pretty good. I really like how each icon is nice and uniformed...like they should be.
Feel like taking a few requests?
(If you get your Icon count to ~300, you could probably start selling it )
A few that pop to mind...
-IMDB
-Xfinity
-Notepad

Hey gang, I posted another set and I hope you like them. I was in a bit of a rush before I leave for my marathon. If there's one you didn't like let me know so I can work on them to make it better and if any other request let me know, if not, then I will work on misc. apps to accomadate majority of the apps that people would down load.
Thanks again and enjoy them. I'm still working on some more and will start working on my other project as well. stay tune.

- Feel free to use the icons in any ROMs or themes, but credit me or I might just shed a tear or 2
- Last but not least, I hope you all enjoy them
EDIT: OK, so here is a small update including some requests. Also included in the zip is a CS5 .ai file that I have used as the base for these. Fonts are 'Arial Regular' for the headers and 'Dimitri Swank' for the text based icons. Dimitri Swank is available for free from most of the usual font repositories so I won't be putting it up here.
Thanks for the kind words so far folks, now let your skills run wild with the attached ai. Remember to keep the designs simple so that they fit nicely.
Peace
EDIT2: Added MIUI .mtz pack
Reserved in case I need it.
