[APP] WMx - Your game console buddy - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Ok.
I am closing in on an imaginary target release for this app. I keep saying it's coming... and it doesn't.
The app is 90% complete, maybe more, but i have been drag-assing. I dont have a XboX, or a job. But I have made a cardboard box that looks like XBox so i can play. I play picture in brain so now i am good gamer.

Name the Baby
Hi.
So I am picking up where I paused.
I am going to work on the buddy list storeage now. So we can add/remove buddys from our list.
I already got the import from WMLive app if anybody is using that.
I am putting out the call for testers and a web person to make the html part. If you like XBoX and want to "make the magic happen", please let me know.
Also I need a ini file from Amnaya Xbox app and the Buddy Alarm app if i am to make the import function for them as well... I guess I should make an export/sync option too so this app can manage any buddy list synchronizations between all the xbox apps.
I should have the XBoX tool ready shortly so we can all make feature requests...
And we need a name for this thing. Keep in mind that while XBox will have the most features we can access, this app will move on to Playstation Network next. So words like Buddy, Console, and Notifier are keywords.

ok.
so i was hoping to use KVV HtmlToday to display info, but i can't seem to get the url working locally. No big deal. I am still messing with it but doesnt seem to be happenin.
I will code up the IE loading process and send it on out to the bunch of people who wanted to try it.
I wonder who is running what today screen?
WM6 titanium panels are going to be the most interesting.

Hi.
So I am working on the console app. Seems to work pretty good on the first test. IE pops open and zoop its gone.
The irony is i cant get activesync to connect. gotta find the IE cache and copy it to my storage card and then zip it up so i can get a good look at it.
then zoom i will have data.
I had to write the bluetooth sync Utility into my Mortifier app so i could update scripts.

---

OK.
Where was I?
I am working on this as we speak.
I am wondering about IE running in the background?
more soon.

---

Ok.
Here's the core of WmX.
XboX works completely.
PSN network is a few hurdles away from being ready.
I have questions.
Hurdle 1. My internet explorer will actually close if its in the background. Before it has downloaded the whole PSN page. Yet IE will sit in the foreground no problem
Two options: CBrunner.exe which works great to minimize IE, or just open IE with Mortscript and then switch to the today page. This should also work great, except for IE irregularities on the phone i am using with wm653.
It may be that only my phone's IE closes early. If you try it, whether through my app or on your own, if IE sits in the background and loads PSN no problem, then I can push forward.
I may wrestle with this some more this weekend.
Hurdle 2. If you had the PSN data what would you like to do wit it?
If you have titanium, a plugin could be made with the graphics and data from the web site. thats what i was going for.
this data could also be incorporated into a theme for mobile shell3 or iphonetoday or whatnot.
At some point i may pick up the xbox part and incorporate it into my StatusTicker app just for s&giggles.
If anyone wants to pick up the titanium plugin, let me know and i will help.
Hurdle 3. If we can get a KVV HtmlToday plugin that can show a web page from a local directory on the phone, we can have a WmX today plugin. I have asked the author if it is possible, but he may never respond... I know the @ sign has something to do with grabbing a file locally, but when i try @\Storage Card\WmX\Web\MyConsole.hml it doesnt work.
Enclosed is a complete directory of the XboX.mscr script, which does both, XBoX and PSN, you can just switch back and forth.
Also are the IE Cache files.

Wowee.
Thanks much.
I will try that!

KVV Html Today
Well whattaya know,
The today plugin works great with local html. Thanks much.
Let me just say what a big fan I am of KVV's work, not just his html today plugin, but darn near every one of his softwares is also excellent.
Here is a link to his site. (Google translate works great).
Well now that that hurdle is removed, I will press on and get the xbox Today panel fleshed out.
If people report that they dont have the same issues with IE closing prematurely, then the PSN part will proceed as well. I can mock it up using the cache files right now. Once you can see it in action you can tell me how much more effort to place in the Today page.
Thanks to KVV.

cant waitttt

Yeah this does sound like its gonna be pretty interesting. I have been looking for a way to monitor my XBL acct. I came from the iphone to the HD2. So dont let me down heh.

Hi.
So here is a better test version to mess with.
Most stuff works sorta, but this test is for PSN and running Internet Explorer to grab datas.
So if u view your PSN stats u can begin testing.
(Should say PSN actually)
If u want to test the non background version, run the no-cbr.mscr
if it seems stuck, run the wmxkill.mscr and u can test anew.
Next i will tidy up the xbox output and set it to work with kvv Today plugin.
Of course u can mess with the XboX buddy menus by switching to XboX from the Menu.
This version leaves all the debug stuff out and PSN isn't prematurely Exit'ed.
