ICQ for Windows Phone 7

Hi everybody!
I'm writing ICQ Messenger for WP7 now and have a VERY BIG ISSUE with it:
WP7 Silverlight does not support SOCKETs!!!
Does anybody know how to workaround this?
The only way I see is create a SERVICE on my home PC with static IP, that will be a link between WCF classes to communicate with WP7 Client and ICQ Server, that (to my mind) only supports Sockets...
Waiting for your comments and suggestions! ))

Post in correct sections.
General/Questions etc go in the "Q&A" forum
Developments go in the "Development" forum.

This forum is named "Windows Phone 7 Development"... Where should I post if not here?

Would be best to post in the "Q&A" forum or the apps forum. This is mainly for posting of dev work.
This forum is mainly for posting of work not general discussion as then we would get all sorts of topics created here and then we will have to soft through a load of crap just to find the devs posts.

maybe there should be a board section "winp7 coding". but for my understanding developers of tools for wp7 should ask their questions here in the dev section, like the rom-chefs do. like it says, it's about developing. maybe somebody has a tip for the op and can guide him to a nice coding community manly working with wp7.

Excellent point, this.
Purely based on OP's post, there's nothing HD2-related about the issue he/she's encountered.
Unless OP has a specific reason for keeping this in the HD2 section, this thread might be better off in the general "Windows Phone 7 Software Development" section. There's almost certainly more WP7 experts browsing there.

Exactly. This is in no way related to HD2 WP7 development so shouldn't be here.

@OP
don't give too much on those ppl *****in' around. try to open a thread in wp7 development or apps and games.
perhaps there you get real help. i appreciate your attempt to make a icq client =)

[Q]best memory ram optimization app

There's a script over in the I9000 dev forum. does any one know if it works for the captivate?

yes, it's included in many current kernels (and ROMs i guess)
and btw, wrong topic

A lot of this is already incorporated into existz Talon kernel and they have taken it many steps forward from just a script. Also, this belongs in Q&A, not Dev.

you see the forum that says Q&A? hmmm maybe try that place instead of dev. also you spelt MEMORY wrong.

Thread moved.

It was pointed out by several others that this thread was posted in the wrong section of the boards. Both previous posters included some form of relevant information, to assist the OP in at least some fashion.
You have provided no useful information, and are criticizing people for misspellings, when you can't seem to spell or use punctuation yourself.
I'm sure both the moderators and members here would appreciate more contributions and less usefulness.
2Quik, several Kernels I've seen have different iterations of a memory script. They haven't been that in depth as the one Juwe11 posted in his original thread, which is not surprising considering it is relatively new. I think your best bet would be to try and contact him directly, and moreover do a bit of testing yourself. Find out as much as you can about what it does, and then determine if it's something you and your device will require.
If you have success with it you should post your findings both here and to the original author. Good luck.

^^^Don't get all butt hurt because someone pointed out someone's forum failings whether they helped him or not. And the mods appreciate any help from members in keeping the boards tidy and users respecting the forum rules. With 5 posts since February you're in no position to be dishing out a scolding to anyone.

*Applies band-aid on butt.
Just to follow-up, I'm running that script on my Captivate and I'm having excellent results so far.
I'm running Serendipity VII on Talon's 2.1

No worries, it was just a flesh wound. Thanks for the great PMs.

My fault for posting it in the wrong section.

Droid Bionic Source

I know this was posted in the General section, seeing as it pertains to development I Figured that if anyone not familiar with their way around, interested in development, would like to get their needs in one forum without having to switch to another.

I strongly disagree. Genereal should be for the people who dont know the standard operation of their phone (ie. first time droid owners). This developer section should be for software modifications to the system.
Of course my credibility is probably limited in that the forum moderator doesn't seem to agree either. I started a thread on making the bionic able to use the available recording software by modding it, and it was moved to the themes and apps section, lol.
At any rate, thanks lemonoid. this is very useful developer information. could you post the original thread so we may thank them as well?

Already a thread discussing this same thing

[Q] [Poll] Why have 2 development forums, it's just annoying! *Poll Added, Vote!*

I was just wondering why the Razr i has 2 separate developmet forums, as in RAZR i Original Android Development and RAZR i Android Development?
I just find this really confusing and am always clicking the wrong link. I can't help but think this may be slightly hindering development. The Pillama ROM is one of a few threads that have been duplicated which means information is hard to find with it being in two places.
Anyway, not sure where to post it but maybe replying to this thread or clicking thanks in the bottom left will mean that both forums can be combined, if anyone else agrees?

One is mods and the other is original work? Or at least I assumed that was the intention. Reality seems to be not enough traffic to warrant both anyway.

Couldn't agree more

Glad we are on the same wavelength, does anyone have any idea who to ask to change it?
I have sent an email to the webmaster with a link to this thread, I'l let you know what happens.

I've sent this to the webmaster, see what happens.

Hello, on the above link I have asked members if they like having two forums with a very similar topic (RAZR i Android Development and RAZR i Original Android Development). The answer has been that people agree that it is confusing and possibly slowing down progress of development for this phone.
I am always clicking the wrong link and am unsure of the purpose of the two forums and am wondering if it is in fact a mistake? Current work and development is even beginning to be duplicated (Pillama). It would be great if the two forums could be combined and I write this email in the hope this could be done.
I look forward to hearing from you,
regards, Cuben.

Re: [Q] Why have 2 separate development forums, it's just annoying!
Its confusing i agree.
In the original android its stock android from OEM, just thats why root and unlocking bootloader its there, no changes as how it work.
In android development its for mods and such things (roms, kernels, etc)

It's very confusing and counter-productive.

Agreed.

Hello, here is the reply from the webmaster:
Hi,
this is not a mistake. Most devices have both of these subforums.

People seemed to support it originally. I'll ask if it can be removed on our forum - don't hold your breath tho!

Here's my reply to "webmaster"
Hi, thank for the reply. the thread here has a unanimous agreement of general confusion from the multiple forums from junior members, senior members and developers. I / we were wondering if the two forums could be combined?
I have started a poll on the thread, if the community could make this choice this would be great.
Regards, Cuben.

Guys, this is a site-wide forum structure. All fourms have this. We generally won't change our forum structure just to suit one small device.
To save me explaining it fully, allow me to quote from that article:
Original Development is for:
Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them
Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.
Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:
Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.
Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.
Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.
Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.
A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.
A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)[

First and foremost, this structure is here for our developers. Developers are what make XDA Developers possible and this was done as a compromise to allow their work to be better classified.
At the end of the day, it's not too difficult to look in two separate forums, depending on what you are looking for.

Yea, that's what I'm hoping for. I think we'd need quite a few more on the poll. Once it levels out I'll contact the webmaster with our democratic vote!

My reply to the poll is as follows:
Hello, I wondered if it would be worth asking you to look at the forum below when you get chance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214946&page=2
There are now 24 people unanimously voting to combine the two forums.
let me know the outcome, I personally think the forum has spoken. Let me know if you require any more to change the forums into one. If the forums are to remain separate then that would be a shame as I see no reason or desire for the separation. I think the general view (certainly for our small development) is that the two separate forums cause confusion and impede development.
Regard, John

Hopefully we'll have the forums combined. I'm not sure what else would be needed if this unanimous vote isn't enough.

Nothing to see here, delete me. Rom was cancelled due to nougat 7.1.1 update.
Delete please

Move this to the General Forums please. Rule 15 states that the Development Forums are to post actual releases not teases.

Nougat? Trying to decide if I should go with OTA or wait for a 7.x release?

I just thought I should let you know because a tease might make a user upset or impatient. I ended up here on accident trying to get to the S7 forums but I saw this and thought I should let you know it's a General discussion rather than actual development unless you're going to provide the user with something via this thread

Actually its not a general discussion forum. If u look it is a development sub forum for this variant of the j7

Development.

General discussions include news and announcement, and is that not what this is? Announcing a new custom firmware being developed by you? (Well, cancelled now unfortunately) or discussions designed with an end goal, which this is not because it is only an announcement of a [new] custom firmware in development. But if you think otherwise, that's fine. I just thought maybe you should know. Have a good day, I see you are involved with many parts of the development here so I'm pretty sure you know what you're doing
