Do you like listening to music while you navigate?
Have you ever wanted to skip songs while composing Email or SMS?
Do you hate returning to home screen and then to the music player just to switch songs?
Do you like multitasking?
If you answered YES on one or more of those questions, this app is for YOU
Top player is a music player that stays on TOP
instructions:
use the + button to expand player
and the - button to minimize to top
full version has 3 player panel sizes and Show\Hide button, just in case you want it to disappear for a moment.
it is still in development but works well.
try it for free!
seems interesting, good job!
requirements? knows bugs? thanks!
you know, the usual...
.net cf 3.5 and winmo 5 and above.
tested on vga and wvga ppc
Very interesting, I'm going to give it a try!
Doesn't appear to work with HTC Sense, the window disappears when interacting with the Sense UI.
Great app! I encourage further development. I would like to see it skinable (changing the buttons, background, font and font color), without the "Small" / "Large" text, and a Play|Pause button (when "small") but overall really nice little app
...(for some reason my post appeared multiplied times, sorry 'bout that)
... (yet again)
Mortplayer already has the ability to use the Navibar which stays on top of other apps. Although the feature probably isn't as good as this player.
... (and the last one; sorry again)
Brilliant idea!
Thanks a lot!
Nice app, but it doesnt work for me. On the one Hand i have wma, but it seems that this format isn't suported, isnt it?
On the other hand, the player doesnt stay on the top in any program or in manila. Maybe it is incompatible with my Rom? --> Goatrip 4.5 which include wm 6.5.x . Could that be?
But if this will work this app is definetly that want i searched for a long time and i want to buy it
Do you think you can fix the issues and add WMA support?
THX a lot !
THX. great work
But dos'nt work with Htc sense...
yep, I filtered only mp3 files. will add soon support for wma
as said, it is still in development...
I am very happy to see you here in the forum yossio!
Continue with your work already started pretty well.
I have some considerations about TopPlayer:
* Support for other audio formats, as it has said.
* Different skins
* Finger friendly hide/show button
Basically these are the main things that I miss. But it was the best one dollar that I have ever spent!
Thanks man
pretty nice idea...
Keep it up!
hey i was trying to pay for the full version but it wont seem to load thru to the payloadz site. let me know if i can just pay you via paypal. thanks man! i`m lovin` the top player when i am texting or reading emails. very handy
Wow, looks promising!
Will streeming music be possible like shoutcast (pls) or asx?
/FluKe
Can we have a shuffle button please?
Some kind of skinning support would be great, but the real killer would be for it to hide and only pop to the top on a track change, for say 5 seconds, so I can skip it. That way i get full screen for my apps (particularly sat nav), and can then bin the tracks when I wish.
Great app with loads of potential, keep up the good work.
why not just send prev/next API calls to other existing (and great!) players ?

Hi,
This is really directed toward Nocturne.op.15.
I've been trying out the various HTC Touch cabs that are available on the Wizard Mobile 6 forum and they look really nice. Especially the Dialer and Comms manager.
The problem with installing these cabs is that adding all the extra stuff to the windows folder has an effect on performance, so I was wondering if you could possibly consider using the Touch Dialer and Comms Manager as the default in future roms? Or, would it be possible to have a rom without any dialer or comms manager so that we can install our own?
Thanks
pjam
do not afraid ,-)
if performance will persist, all modern things will be inside...
Great! I hoped you would say something like that.
If you could get the Touch home plugin to work without slowing anything down that would be fantastic!
(I realise you're after a clean rom)
Thanks.
home screen plugin will not be used. i have never seen something so slow - even after uninstall, system startup is 2 times slower (something remained there).
the second reason is that this plugin is absolutely, realy absolutely useless. It just consumes precious screen space, memory and cpu. easy one-hand operation is aslo hardly possible with it.
If you like something like this, use spb mobile shell, which has almost no effect to device speed. It has also many more functions, is almost the same size. Latest 1.5 Beta3 is really fast, stable and brings many new functions against v. 1
Final result: i will not include this useless plugin, no discussion about this please. slow your ppc yourself, i will not do it, i'm trying to make it as fast as possible. easiest way to slow ppc down is to underclock it to 95MHz
I will check dialer and comm mananger and inform you later.
Cheers Nocturne,
You are right about the usefulness of the plugin, I just think it looks nice, which is not a good enough reason to have it on the phone, slowing things down
Think I'll have a look at the shell tool.
thanks for your thoughts
pjam
Dialer is great, really easy to handle it i one hand. But i don't like its graphics, used font looks really horrible.
EDIT: no, dialer will also not be used. it has really pleasant size of buttons, but there's one thing i'm missing: hide keypad button. if i want to see more contacts and not to use smartialing (which works), it's impossible. i will work on it - maybe just some registry settings is wrong

I actually really like the font, it's really simple.
There is a contacts soft key available to show more contacts.
I also use a handy programme called QDz photo contacts. You can decide whether or not it shows the photo's, choose surname or first name order, and instead of one long list of names, the list is 2D. Works really well.
DO NOT use Touch dialer
Well, guys I've tried the TOUCH dialer as well. It's really slow (compared to the standard WM6 dialer) but much worse is the fact, that used smartdialing technology prevents me to select contacts with diacritics (crazy czech signs ).
Radek
The more i use this HTC Touch dialer the more i like it.
The smart dialing works really well and makes it easy to select a contact to either call, sms or email. The contacts softkey makes it easy to view more contacts.
There is alot of discussion about this on the wizard forum. There it talk that everything runs faster if the dialer is in the Rom. (I don't know why.)
There is also talk of virtual extended roms, but i don't have a clue about all that.
Once the various apps that i use have been opened and minimised i find this dialer doesn't cause a problem with regard to speed.
Update: Actually, after performing a hard reset I've come to realise just how much this dialer and comm manager were slowing things down. Love the dialer, hate the slow down.

I developed very simple application - stop-watch with sound. The application provides sound every second. The application is useful for creating nervous environment for some tasks with time limit
Tried on HTC Touch HD and HD2.
Attached Russian version as well (TickTimerRus).
I am going to test.
Thanks
Hi!
I like simple timer + stopwatch like this
But this type of app would be more useful if their running values are visible at the home-screen so I can easily check their values by just pressing home-key instead of taskmanager.
Another advantage of home-screen plug-in is that I will never forget them running in the background eating battery.
cheers!
New version
Ok, for you I made special one - but, since home plugins are rarely used with new devices, now the ticktimer status is displayed as taskbar icon. Works well on HTC HD2, not sure about other devices. Also changed the colors to dark.

I put some sounds in the last posted cab. The wav files are to be located in My Documents folder.
I've done a similar application for Android devices as well - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19098913
Tkank you testing.
Hi Guys, here is my first attempt at making an App for the HTC HD2.
There are 3 sounds for each character, 4 for Vader. Keep selecting the character to select the next sound.
This will only work for touch screen devices, i haven't included any code for 4 way button phones.
Hope you like it.
Bollux.
<edit>
Hi all, here's version 2.
I've listened to the requests and added some extra buttons after selecting the character, and hopefully fixed the install to Storage Card option.
Works on my HTC HD2. Should now install to %instdir%\Program Files\StarWarsSounds\ by default.
Regards
Bollux.
WOW! Thank you!
I'm so over the moon with this. I was really hoping someone would do one. Fantastic picture interface, so much fun!!
When you said it was your first app I thought it was going to be really basic - but it's absolutely great. You should post some screenshots!
There just seems to be a minor issue with the sizing of the Luke icon at the bottom that's causing scrollbars to appear on my HD2.
Cheers,
Ian
Screen Shots
Thanks, Here's a Screen Shot on the test Device.
Not sure why the sliders are there, the code to show the pictures should only fill the available screen size. I used the me.width and me.height parameters. The icons are a much better fit on the HD2 screen 480x800.
Vb code used,
PictureBox8.Image = StarWarsSounds.My.Resources.Luke_lg
PictureBox8.Height = (Me.Height)
PictureBox8.Width = (Me.Width)
All the icons are sized with similar code to fit width and height.
'Luke
PictureBox8.Image = StarWarsSounds.My.Resources.Luke_sm
PictureBox8.Height = (Me.Height / 4)
PictureBox8.Width = (Me.Width / 3)
I did take out the keyboard icon toolbar, that shouldn't be there..

Just ran it again and can't recreate the issue I was having (the Luke icon was stretched off screen). It's working fine now. I'll keep playing and see if I can work out a consistent way that recreates it (or maybe it was just my phone going a little loony!)
Minor thing, but I notice that if you tap multiple times (even when a pic is showing?) it queues up all the tap events - it would prob be nicer if it just played one sound at a time and blocked the event listener until a sounds has completed if that makes sense. (Accidental taps cause it to go on a while)
hehe - even the icon in the start menu is cool
Cheers,
Ian
Nice work keep on making more ones!
Not working...
Hi,
being a StarWars Fan for years, I just had to try your app, but doesnt work.
I see the graphics, but when I tap on a picture, I just get a short "beep" and the pic is flashing.
I can play the sounds via MSMediaPlayer w/o probs.
Using Tosh TG01, WM 6.5.5, NetCF3.7
Maybe you find a solution, would really love to use this little prog.
"May the force be with you"
Installed to device memory, still had plenty of space.
I have the latest netcf on an hd2, and I cannot really hear anything.
I see the main screen, click on any character, I see what is a brief flash of a bigger picture (with associated scrolbars around), that lasts a splitsecond, but then the program goes back to the standard view, and all in all i can hear anything.
I can open the files in resources folder ok with nmedia player tho
Hi bo11ux!
Nice Idea! Do you plan to do some Star Trek / Babylon 5 / Battlestar Galactica version of your work? Would love to see that!
Thanks,
Future

Maybe you use reg edit for non sound notification if change volume system/call ring volume.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\volume] key mute get more than 1
After this i hear the sounds from SW
I have that same problem. Just a short flash of the picture and a little beep. Hope someone has a solution to fix this.
thanks
works great on my sprint diamond wm 6.1 stock rom
hehe, i like this - well done
Thanks, my son will love this! Installed on LG iQ (GW825) in memory, using COM2(21901) custom rom from Dark. Works great!
Works well on my HD2 with stock Telstra 1.72 Rom & Manila 2.5.2012. Worked even better once I took the phone off silent. Oops!! Nice work
Tested and works well in HTC Touch HD.

Try this regkey change, I have same problem and now i can hear the sounds.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\volume]
key "mute" get more than 1, i have there "7"
I have HTC Topaz, but i thing that on HD2 it was similar.
Great app, I like the Star Wars apps! But I have also that problem: just a short flash of the picture and a little beep.
I have a HTC Touch HD with WM6.5. I hope someone can fix this.

Just changed from 3 to 7, but I now hear a beep. But apart of the sound, it works on my diamond, so also VGA.
As many are aware the new Max-Sense Manilla Mod for windows devices isint perfect, but there are many things that do give it a nice feel. I thought i would open this thread to help in posting bugs/things that could be better or more intuitive.
Let start guys, if there are some helpful comments in this thread ill be happy to add them to the OP as suggestions. Please post what you would like changed or made better, and keep flaming out of the question.
Personally What I'd like to see added in future updates:
Internet link widgets for the homepages
The ability to have more than one blank widget
Live Facebook widget, kinda like the sense tab
Sync Calender with Facebook events
Would like to see a picture Slideshow widget..
i'd like to see the memory and battery widgets have assignable actions, ex when you touch the memory widget it opens ark switch, taskmanager, clean ram, or a program of your choice, and battery would open the power settings, etc.
i would like to see more favorite people widgets
i would like the option to change the max sense taskbar from just minimized, maximized, or none to the windows default taskbar as well
i would like the backup/restore script that beegee_tokyo created implemented into the menu under max sense settings
i would like to be able to press the whole widget for your notifications to take you to the sense tab not just the icon.
it would be nice if the left soft key in the home screens was easily assignable, some people like have the start menu assigned or an app of choice.
i wish the back hard key did somthing, even if it just sent you to the homescreens instead of actually backing up.
i'm not trying to be negative in any way, i absolutely love max sense and all of the work everyone has put into it, but these are all features i think everyone would appreciate
lastly just somthing that came to mind would be a notes widget
I have not tried it. I am still waiting for the author to get back to me about being able to use it my roms. As soon as i am able to use i will let you know. Thanks

+1 for these, especially the "press the whole widget, not just the icon" one. I though my installation was broken until I figured out that you have to push the icon, not the number (eg. missed calls)
My personal feature request would be the ability to insert a table of quicklinks into one of the three main home screens, rather than only on the home button flick left action.
i.e. To fill-in the empty left screen of my theme here:

I agree...I'd love to have my pictures at my main screen and be able to scroll like favorite contacts.....
Okay i have used every ROm on this planet and so far MAX is the most intuitive yet. Here are a few issues i have come across...
1- when returning from a tab based application there is a pause or slight hesitation where the notification bar return to back to the max sense appearance
2- all max sense ROMS are having the small MMS issues and for some reason the quick fix works and then doesn't and reverts back to the original settings
3-MAJOR battery eating - although i did notice when removing all the tmobile crap and the facebook tab that it was a HUGE success on saving batter...Now after one day of minimal use and testing often i was able to have 80% battery !!
4- I think that the Favs. widget could be smarter...quick sms mms or email buttons should or could be applied
thats all for now im sure I will have more ideas soon....thanks devs for making my windows phone make the iphone look retarded ....Nothing better then to see my buddy who just got the iphone 4 and then is caught staring at my HD2...And i know exactly what he's thinking...what phone is that? Phone envy is a sin i say....haha
well.. when we put a new widget, for example want to put a music player widget.. i put it but I want to choose a specific widget (of music player) to put.
So I want to have the option for me to choose what widget I want to put, and not put one itself that maybe i dont like it
First of all, I absolutely love this app. It's so easy to use yet powerful and the variety is just incredible. I remember a few years ago when I still had a jailbroken iPhone 3GS, it took me a whole afternoon just to make my phone look like one of these themes, now it's just a press of a button.
I just want to voice a little suggestion for the designers out there and if anyone disagrees with me, please send it right back. I think one of the coolest things about Android compared to iOS is the widgets and one widget that many people use often around me is the calendar. Unfortunately, even though there are so many amazing themes made for this app, very few of them actually dedicate enough space to a calendar widget (and often not at all).
Every theme though seems to dedicate a whole page to a music app. From my experience, this isn't really necessary since when a song is playing, i can see it in the notifications shade or when I want to start a new session to listen to music, I probably want to go into the app and choose which song to start with.
So I'm just making a suggestion to include more calendar widgets in future themes because at the moment, there's not enough themes with them but there are too many themes with music widgets. What do you guys think?
or better yet, make a theme yourself and include whatever you want =)

A good way to start finding your work-life balance is to challenge yourself to identify one behavior that you can change. What makes you happiest? What stresses you out the most? Determine your answers, then focus on a few areas in which you can improve, whether it's socializing more at work or planning out your day better. Soon you’ll be living happier, too!

Thanks for the self-help tip. It's funny how a suggestion for future themes lead to a lesson on life management! I guess I better keep this in mind the next time I write an app review in the Google Play Store.

well that sorted my life out !!!! seriously how is this helping anyone !!!!!
I understand what you mean that many do try and have more music apps etc and as you mention are not always useful,I am guilty of this myself in some respects,but when I create a style I create them because I want to not because they may or not become popular,as this doesn't concern me.It is all down to personal taste I suppose.
I maybe give this a try in a future theme,to be honest it is a good suggestion in my opinion

Yeah, right now it is the shades of green the only really good theme, if you want events on the home screen. I also feel that all the themes go in a direction of fun and design, and there are only very few, that at least add basic organizer options.
More work related themes would be welcome
I have to second the request for a calendar widget in more of the themes.
I LOVE themer and it's my default launcher now. I use the agenda view of the calendar all the time which gives me the option to scroll through my appointments and meeting times. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of themes that present this option, such as 'Series', 'Silver lining', 'Coordinate' and 'Violet'.
I usually just end up inserting an agenda widget in one of the unused whitespaces in the screen.
I would make my own themes, but I don't have a creative bone in my body. I couldn't hope to come up with anything half as nice as what you guys do on a regular basis.
Thank you for all your hard work. I will certainly be paying for this launcher when it comes out of beta. :good:
