[APP] AmazonIt! 1.3 [2010.09.13] barcode price lookup
What It Does
AmazonIt! helps you shop. Ever see an item on the shelf that looks interesting, but you wonder
A) if you can find it cheaper online?
B) if it's any good?
That's where AmazonIt! comes in. Using AmazonIt!, you can scan a product's UPC or EAN barcode, and see its Amazon.com price and ratings.
AmazonIt! will also show you if the price of an item has changed since it was last updated.

Hey... This app sounds great. Would it be possible to choose between amazon.co.uk and .de ? Should be easy to implement in your app. just a variable with the .tld inside. what do you think. with this trick you can use your app all around the world.

Yeah, that'll be in the next version. I just wanted to get this version out as quickly as possible.
Yay, front page again!
Just to clarify:
Currently, you can only see the average rating and number of reviews, but not the actual reviews - this will be added in a future version
Also, only Amazon.com prices are checked - future versions will check other online stores/resources as well as allow you to enter prices found in the field.
This looks great.
You mentioned that it will be able to use other sites. Would it be possible to have the ability to manually add a site or a location for search? I'm thinking, in the U.S., most people would use it for electronics, toys, etc.
The sites I'm thinking of are:
Wally World (ugh...)
Target
BestBuy
TigerDirect
NewEgg
Toys'R'Us
Fry's Electronics
B&H Photo
Adorama

The main issue with adding sites is whether or not they have an API for me to query them. I want to avoid having to parse HTML in order to search and find items. So unfortunately I can't make it so that anybody can plug in any search site.
However, I could provide a list of common search sites, and then launch that URL with the barcode, which would then open in your default browser.

Ah, I think that would actually be better. I think it would be nicer to get the list of the site you wanted to look at and then just check that. Sometimes you may not want to deal with online shopping, and may just want to check your local stores.
That sounds good man, keep up the great work!!
Love it thanks!

Will it work on a QVGA device?

Thanks for the app, now i need to go out shopping, heh heh
This app is totally cool. I snapped a shot of my Windex bottles barcode and it knew what it was instantly. Lol..... A bottle of Windex appeared on the Amazon screen. I nearly crapped my pants in disbelief. Very cool if you're a bargain hunter or missing Amazon while out at the store. I can't wait to actually put it to practical use.
good job zaijian.
Will wait for amazon.de support =)
thanks. can be useful
thanks been waiting on a savvy shopper like tool
thanks for your work
Looks like a great app, but it does not work properly on my HTC TyTN II. When I try to recognize a barcode, it launches the camera but never does anything with the captured barcodes. Am I doing something wrong? I am using WM 6.5.1. Thanks!
awesome, works great on my touch pro 2
AmazonIt! launches the device's built-in camera dialog. Take the picture as normal, then hit the back/close/ok button or close the camera dialog. AmazonIt! will then try and detect the barcode. If it can't detect it, it will ask if you want to retry - if it does detect it, then it will add that item to the list and attempt to retrieve product information from Amazon.com.
If the application does not behave as I just described, then that's a bug, so please let me know.
Would it be possible for AmazonIt delete the photo when it is done? I was surprised to see all the UPC photos remaining on the phone when I was done.

will try this out. thinking of getting a house here across the tasman...
Great program
Thank you. I've been using it for years!
Bloody awesome.
Thanks
This version of MortgageCALC is an update which has an “improved’ user interface. I increased the size of the “Touch” areas for controls, and added ability to swipe on graph control to change from one graph to the next. I also included “swipeability“ to the list box for the amortisation listing.
In writing the program I have tried to make one version of the program which will install across as many Windows Mobile platforms as possible (ie smart phone and touch screen type devices, in all screen configurations.)
I have found that not all Windows Mobile devices are created equal, with inconsistency in hardware keyboards being an issue in achieving a “Universal” version of the program.
MortgageCALC should work on all Touch Screen (Professional) devices, with the Microsoft NETcf2 framework, and has been tested on Imate SP5 Smartphone style layouts. BlackJack devices may have a problem. The original Blackjack had an unusual keyboard layout, current version (the Blackjack II) is more conventional in its layout, however I don’t have one to test on, so I would be interested in feedback.
The original version of MortgageCALC, written some years ago, was coded in eVB. This version uses the NETcf2 framework.
The original version also had many more features that this release. Some of these feature required many updates each time a new OS’s was released by Microsoft, and many hardware compatibility issues. (ie.. never worked on Smartphones) This version of MortgageCALC is a very much simplified program, whilst still being able to do fairly comprehensive loan calculations.
Greg
Hi Greg,
Just would like to start by saying thanks for such a great product.
I would like some advise or direction with programing/tables. Is there a forum or a discussion somewhere about how to work or program these to better work with USA financing? I would like to figure how to create a script where it where auto-calc mortgage insurance, property taxes, home owners insurance (Impounds = yes or no). I would like the ability to manually edit the default factors if I wanted. I would like the ability to choose FHA (which adds an Up Front Mortgage Insurance Premium to the base loan amount) or Conventional (which doesn't). The "UFMIP" and monthly mortgage insurance can vary based on risk based criteria. My other question: is this programing available on the Windows Mobile version or should I attempt this on the older version?
Thanks in advance,
Luis
Luis,
The original version of MortgageCAL, which was written in eVB (embedded Visual Basic) had the feature of programmable 'Calculation Tables'.
The user of the original program can input formulas for local government charges, stamp duties, or any other cost, and the program would then calculate these costs automatically when working out loan costs.
The formulas are in a standard JScript syntax. Any reference on JScript formulas would give you an idea on what type of calculations are possible, and there are a number of example calculation tables included in the program download.
With the final release of the original MortgageCALC I was getting very frustrated with the continual changes to the code required each time Microsoft released a new CE version. The program accesses an undocumented interrupt address in the OS to enable JScript to run in a "Shell". The final version of MortgageCALC was written with a detection routine, in anticipation of Microsoft changing the address in future OS releases. This has enabled the program to continue to work on Windows Professional 6.0, however it does not work on Windows Standard 6.
I have not included calculation Tables in the re-written version of MortgageCALC (most recent release is version 1.4).
There are a few of reasons for this:
1. The new version is designed to be a much simplified program to the original. Aiming to be more user friendly.
2. The calculation table function had to be coded differently for different Pocket PC versions.
3. The time required,
4. The lack of access to the many different PPCs for testing.
I have written some code to test the possibility of inclusion of the Calculation Tables feature in a future release of the "new" MortgageCALC, however have not released a version with this feature yet due to the amount of programming time required to get it to the standard achieved with the original program. (Time is a issue with my other [paid] work commitments).
Anyway.... I plan to update the present release in about a week or so, with some minor user interface improvements, (But no Calculation Tables).
PS.. I anticipate that my Web Site will be taken down by my service provider in the next month or so.. I have had the site for a number of years, however a recent change in my ISP's billing arrangements means that once the present billing cycle expires I will not be continuing to use them. I have always paid them in advance, so have approx a month up my sleeve before the site is taken down.
I have yet to decide which ISP will get me as future customer. I will post the details on this site when the time comes.
Thanks for your feed back and much appreciated time you have put into this project. I currently have a Touch phone with WM6 and the older version works for now. I'll install the newer one as well as they shouldn't have any conflict with you each other, right? I will look forward to the new version, especially the one that will included tables. I realize this maybe a long time coming but most of us are faithful fans/users of program.
Thanks for heads us up on your site, we'll look forward to you see up again. By the way, I noticed you don't have a "donate" button on your site. I, for one, have really benefitted from your program and would like to donate some cash. I believe others feel the same way. Let's us know how we may support you in return.
Thanks again for the work you have done,
Luis
Can't enter more than one digit
First off - it's an awesome calculator. It has a very clean interface and very professional looking! I do have a problem with the latest version (v1.5) and was hoping you can help. I can't seem to enter more than one digit in any of the fields. I'm using this on a Samsung Blackjack II with Windows Mobile 6.1. Do you know of why that would be?

I personally don't. The only I can think of is that it doesn't like your keyboard or input method. Try selecting another method. Good luck.
pkngo
Try changing the keyboard input by selecting Menu>Option>Setup>Menu>NumPad
Key a string of characters to represent the keyboard numpad layout on your device.
For example : 0ERTDFGXCV.
To represent: 0123456789.
Don't forget the keyboard entry for ".", which represents the decimal symbol key, to end the string.
Let us know how it goes.
Use with Blackjack II
I also have the issue of only one digit entry on a Blackjack II. I also notice after typing the digit, the battery indicator in the right hand corner goes away and the digits "12#" come up. After moving to another cell, the battery indicator comes back.
I tried to change the NumPad layout per your instructions, but when I get into that screen, I can't change anything except the two options under the menu selection - "0ERTDFGXCV." and "0123456789." Same issue with the "12#" coming up.
This give you any ideas? I'd love to be able to use this program...
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for the info. Without feedback I (and other developers) can't fix issues with their projects across the various Mobile Platforms.
Your advice I think has helped me identify the issue.
The "#12" symbol appears on the screen as the text box in MortgageCALC is switched to take numeric only input. On most devices this is the right thing. On the Blackjack it appears to cause problems.
If you can advise the corresponding Alfa Keys for Numpad layout for the Blackjack II, I will release an amended beta version of MortgageCALC for the Blackjack, with a new option to turn off Numpad Alfa/Numeric switching.
For example : e = 1 ?, r = 2 ? etc...
Thanks
e=1
r=2
t=3
d=4
f=5
g=6
x=7
c=8
v=9
?=0
.=.
All are accessed using the Function key if e.g. I am writing a text message with the exception of the "." button.
Looking forward to a version where I don't have to amortize $9 over 5 years at 8% ;-)
mkuether
I have posted a update of MortgageCALC to 1.5.002 which I hope will fix the issue with the Blackjack II.
After installing Menu>Options>Setup>Menu>NumPad>Menu>?ERTDFGXCV. should fix issue on Blackjack.
You may have to exit MortgageCALC and stop program from running (see Task Manager?), then relaunch, to get change in MortgageCALC keyboard to be recognized properly. If you can advise if keyboard fix works I will release another update to fix the issue of having stop and relaunch program. (Restarting may or may not be a required?)
See POST 1 for new cab file.
Worked perfectly! I removed the program, then reinstalled using the new CAB file with no issues. I now have the ability to amortize at will...consider the Blackjack II issue put to bed.
Any other updates planned? I would love an amortization calc that would also spit out a balloon payment of principal at the designated time...saves time scrolling down to the month required.
Thanks for this app very useful.
Great to hear that it's now fixed.
Sometime its hard to get it right when you think your have fixed a problem, and there is no feedback on the offered solution.
I think everyone here at Xda benefits from feedback.
In regards to "balloon payments", MortgageCALC already has a method to calculate a balloon payment at a given period over full loan term.
1. First calculate loan over full term,
2. Change loan term to the shorter term required.
3. Select amortize.
MortgageCALC will then calculate loan over the shorter term, with a balloon payment.
If you amortize both the full term and the short term loan (with the same periodic loan payments) you can see a comparison of the two loans by scrolling the graph screen. The final balloon payment is shown on the amortize listing screen.
Whilst I've have considered an option to put in a fixed monetary amount for a balloon payment, option's inclusion in the program is unlikely due to the increased complexity it would add to the user interface.
I will be releasing an update of MortageCALC in the near future, however it will only be a minor update incorporating a refinement of the coding for the Blackjack fix.
Anyway, thanks again
Update 1.5.003 posted - Only change to program is the optimization of the keyboard code to fix Blackjack keyboard issue reported above.

Looks nice, trying it today! Please see if you can make the links PPC downloadable, and if you haven't already, make it support AppToDate.
I use Egress right now, but it's WAY to too twitchy to scroll, hopefully this one is more natural.

Excellent! I've just started using it today, noted a few bugs, and a suggestion.
I had never used Google reader before, so I didn't consider to go to the website and configure anything first. When I logged in using your client, it crashed because of a zero index. I didn't write down the exact wording, but I suspect it's because it had no subscriptions.
Another consequence of me being new to Google Reader, I did some quick initial setup of some feeds I watch and then looked at them in your client. Then I decided to move some things into different folders, but those new folders do not show up in the client, even after manually refreshing.
Wait, interesting. I refreshed once, no updates. I exited, no updates. But I've just launched it again, and the new folders are showing up. Perhaps some quirk here?
Suggestion! Is it possible to make it (at least optional) to show two lines of the headline? Overall the presentation is very nice, and the scrolling is very very nicely controlled, but there's just not enough headline shown to really see if I want to read something.
And is it possible to scroll in the Browser? I assume you're just embedding PIE, so perhaps not, but worth asking.

Thanks for the headsup on that crash...I'll get that fixed.
Whenever you change your folder configuration in the desktop client it will not reflect those changes in Speeed Reader until you exit and log in again. What I am doing is mimicking the tag/subscription/article structure in Google Reader in Speeed Reader, however, I am still working on ways to refresh the whole structure (efficiently). Long story short, that ability is coming.
I can make the two line headline an option.
Scrolling in the browser is (very) limited since I am using the webbrowser control in .NETCF. I am looking for other ways to get around this problem though. I am going to be implementing gestures sometime in the future so touch scrolling will be added in the browser tab.
Any chance of adding support to star and share articles?

Yes, its already supported. If you go into settings and uncheck "Hide Google Tags" (requires program restart) it will display Starred, Blogger-Following, and Broadcast tags. I will investigate shared items. However, there is a bug where if there are no articles for a tag and you press it, the application will crash. I'm going to have a release out in a day or two to address that bug.
My thoughts on your program:
Once the data loads up, it is a great little program. I find it more useful than GReader's Iphone interface (www.google.com/reader/i) in Opera, particularly because the images fit properly in a story.
That being said, the initial load up time is prohibitive. I almost always want to fire up my google reader feed on my phone when I have a few free moments at work or in line, or something similar. Waiting a few minutes while the RSS data is retrieved every time is really a killer for me. I need it to load up fast so I can read quickly and then go on my way. I also want to see a lot of articles, not just a few. I know this is probably not a change that can be made, but if you could somehow get the RSS data to load very quickly...say, in 15 seconds or less, than this program would be very useful and would supplant my use of Opera + www.google.com/reader/i.
Thanks for the app.

Thanks for the feedback. There are definately someways I can speed up access (more threading or only downloading the articles as the user needs them <-takes the most time). I'll keep this in mind for future releases.

I made some updates to v0.6 (pending) that will significantly reduce the initial load.
Some background
My method of constructing the tags, subscriptions, and lists is as follows.
1->Retrieving list of subscriptions from GReader
2->Retrieving list of tags from GReader
3->Retrieving list of unread counts from GReader
I used all the above to construct a skeleton structure (no article data) that mimicks what you see in GReader desktop. This is very quick.
4->Then in, v0.5, I retrieved ALL the articles at startup from GReader which is slower (depending on the number of subscriptions) because I had to make a separate HTTP request to GReader for each subscription. I then add each article to each subscription as needed.
Now in v0.6, I do 1,2,3 only at startup, which greatly speeds up the first start. Then as the user browses to each subscription, the articles loaded when needed. (only one http request so only a couple seconds to load). The first load is always the slowest because once they are loaded, the articles are cached into memory, which speeds up subsequent accesses.
I still do 4, however, it occurs in the background (when you do a manual refresh or at the automated refresh time) and is undetectable to the user that this is occurring because you can still browse articles as before.
Another special request
You should use AppToDate to push your update.
Thanks

Testing it right now, thank you very very much...
Hi,
great application, many thanks.
Can you integrate a search function for older movies? For example via cinefacts.de
with friendly greet
starbase64
Great app. I reside in the US, so I'll be waiting for North American support. I'll be following this app. Maybe you should put version numbers next to your release title, so people know how far it's coming along. Just a suggestion.
Thanks
I've updated the first post with details on the new version of Flix, 1.0.7.0
Please let me know of any problems you find!
I've only done a little testing of Spain and Italy - I noticed with Spain especially that it often didn't seem to find much for a given town. If you encounter this, please visit the Spain Yahoo site http://es.movies.yahoo.com/ and try the same location as you put in Flix - if you get the same result, then Flix is not broken
If anyone would like to improve the translations, then please pm me.
Next up will be support for the US/Canada hopefully. That will be version 1.0.8.0.
In addition will be some interface changes users have requested, but these may wait for 1.0.9.0, depending on how long the new country support takes me!
I've also only played with multiple locations a little - but they should work as it basically calls the same routines for each location specified.
Split multiple locations using a semi-colon ( without any spaces.
Thanks for all the comments (good and bad) so far!
I'm starting to look at adding US/Canada to Flix.
The Yahoo Movies site for those areas is significantly different to the European based ones, and one thing I've found so far is the sheer volume of information, and I thought I'd ask here what you guys feel is the way ahead...
Being from the UK, I naturally popped '90210' into Yahoo to get some results up.
This returns 119 cinemas spread across 12 pages, and that's only showtimes for the current day, not the coming week as per the Euro site. So, pulling all this data out would be pretty slow and memory hungry in all likeliness.
So, i'm thinking of maybe downloading just the first page results, but for all coming days; however I don't know the relevance of the results. Can anyone offer some information on how the cinema list is related to the zip? Is the first result the closest and they slowly move "outwards" in distance? In which case it's perhaps ok to stick to the first page... or are they in a pretty random order? If the latter, then a lot of people might find that their usual theater doesn't come up...
I'm aware 90210 is probably a pretty extreme example, but i'm curious as to some pointers on how the data coming back is relevant...
any further developments... It does work well as is.. but was hoping you may be inspired to develop further
I'll shortly be releasing support for US and Canada - it's about done. Also in that version will be an 'update' command line switch so that the download can be scheduled once a week automatically (using something like CTScheduler Lite or RunEveryday.
After that, I'd like to spruce up the interface for the next version, but if there's something specific you're looking for, let me know and I'll see if it can be added.
Flix has just been updated - see the first post
Main new feature is the addition of support for the US and Canada, but existing users may also find the "update" command line switch useful. If Flix is started with this switch, it will run, update, then quit. Schedule it overnight once a week and you won't have to manually update again!
There have also been a few under the skin improvements, mainly in the parsing of information.
For more advanced users, you can pre-ignore cinemas before updating for the first time, rather than updating and then ignoring them. This option is on the manage cinemas screen (just click "New" at the bottom). You'll need the ID number from the URL of your cinema to be ignored, so head off to Yahoo to find it.
As ever - if Flix doesn't find cinemas you expect, please visit the Yahoo movies site for your country and enter the same location to check what comes up.
Hi,
Good job but I have a problem :
Hi,
At what point did the error come up? Could you also see if there is extra information on the detail button?
Thanks!
I have this error when I want update ...
I have WinMo 6.5 ...
The details :
Thanks - can you let me know what location you used so I can debug the code? Thank you
My location is :
France
62800
If I replace 62800 by the city ( Liévin ), it find Troyes :s
OK, that is good you fixed it, although the error should still not show up. If it cannot find anything for the postal code, you should get a friendly message, so I will still check this and fix it
I edit my post :s
Because, I see if i bit "Liévin", it find "Troyes"
I think, it bug when the cinema name have a "é"
Because, in Lyon and Lievin, the cinema name is : " Pathé "
Sorry for my english :s
OK, I can check that the ' above the e doesn't cause a problem.
However I checked the locations you gave me on fr.movies.yahoo.com and neither Liévin or 62800 show anything for me, so I don't think Flix would show anything either.
EDIT: OK, the error you got was because Yahoo have changed the message that is shown when no cinema found. Flix didn't see this so still tried to process the data. A new version will be uploaded soon

Introduction
CoPilot is an application designed to manage all information about your car. You can record and keep refueling and information about your avarage consumption, prices of fuel and visited petrol stations. Records of upkeep will help you track information about what everything on the car repaired, when and price.
CoPilot also allows you to record videos of your trip. This can help solve some complicated situations or accidents . The video is automatically saved position so you can see where and through which route the video was acquired. You can also take individual photos.
CoPilot is also designed to communicate with OBD module, through which it can read information about the car from its control unit. All data are recorded and saved during the ride. CoPilot can also be controlled by voice. The guidelines as start recording , photographing or add a new refueling is possible to do so while driving just using dictation application information.
Manage your maintenance and add reminders for technical inspection or insurance. You can enter reminders that are bound with the odometer and you will be notified in advance. You can also enter reminders, which are bound with date, such as technical inspection or extension of your liability insurance.
The web interface allows you to access the data via a web browser. Just connect a mobile device to WiFi network and enter into your browser address that was generated by CoPilot. Then you enter this adress into your browser and you get a simple interface where you can view the data from the application.

Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: 1.0.3
Stable Release Date: 2014-10-11
Created 2014-10-20
Last Updated 2014-11-17
Version 1.0.3.5 is available
Currently there is a new version of CoPilot app. And what new offers? Better evaluation of the speed from a GPS sensor, which enables better use the application without connected OBD module. Than has been improved upload of large files, so you can upload videos on SkyDrive around one gigabyte of size. Unfortunately, this can not be done in the background. When uploading is therefore necessary to have application running on foreground. This is a limitation of the Windows Phone platform, and it can not be otherwise resolved.
Change log for this verison:

I have to admit, this looks very cool! Can you, for us that aren't familiar with how a car communicates with the phone, explain what cars this will be compatible with and what it takes to connect?
dude! you steal copyrighted name CoPilot?

You can't copyright a name, so I assume you meant Trademarked. If it is trademarked, you may need to rename your app or it will be blocked from the store.
Reaction on questions and app name
Hello,
I apologize for writing so late, but I was outside. I will try to reply to all responses.
Regarding the application name.

When I started writing the application I did not know about CoPilot GPS at all. I was coming out of it that my app is a "the second pilot" which is a "co-pilot" but the dash is not like for me. Anyway, this is nothing against CoPilot GPS and certainly I did not want steal anything. There is no problem to rename application. I wrote them an email, but so far nobody response.
Regarding to connectivity.

It is possbile with OBD module (10 - 20 $) and OBD connector contains 99% of the cars after 1995. With the application communicates via BT and allows you to read information that will provide a car. That depends on the type and year of manufacture. However, most of the cars is the ability to provide speed, rpm, load, temperature and engine oil.
I hope I answered to all.
Sincerely,
Stanislav Hacker

Hi, I have OBD II interface (ELM 327 BT)

Diagnose your car
OBD Auto Doctor
OBD Info-san!
and Nyoom (only for fun )

Yes it is exactly this module I know of only one application from videos, however I use to diagnose CarDash that it also capable enough. Anyway CoPilot is not a diagnostic tool but mainly a tool for recording and presenting data .

I have taken up a few flies, and I would like to introduce you to work with video on the web interface.
Perhaps you will like it and if you have a suggestion for improvement, I will be very happy.

Hi guys, I'm glad to announce a Windows Phone port of PrBoom, called D00M (Di-zero-zero-Em)
This port supports all mods (original and custom wad files), supported by desktop PrBoom, i.e. original Doom demo, Doom.wad & Doom2.wad, Plutonia, TNT etc.
But store version came with FreeDoom.wad only (because of copyright limitation). Trial version has only one limitation: you can't add new wads to the game and should stay with FreeDoom.wad.
Here are working TNT & Plutiona mods (working with this PrBoom engine version):View attachment wads.zip
W10M store: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh4rql0
WP81 store: http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=a3ec4994-9f7c-438a-a12f-abb3c3542e87
Enjoy!
Work's fine.
Thanks
If i install Doom and Doom2, the saved games are stored in different files or the same?
On PC
if i launch Doom with "prboom-plus"
Play game and save game, saved games are stored in "prboom-plus-savegame0.dsg" and if i launch Doom2, go to "load saved games" Doom saved games appears in the list.
The only way i found is create a batch file who rename file before launch.
Hmm, very good question... I'll take a look and will apply a fix (if needed). Thanks a lot for testing and asking that kind of questions!
[UPDATE] It looks like game published in store has some problems with saving games; I'll try to fix it ASAP.
OK, I've fixed the bug (it was my fault, instead of "LocalState" save/load path was pointed to the app's install directory). Also, now games will be saved or loaded for the selected wad only so you may enjoy multi-wad game stage saving
P.S. Small tip from my experience: right after starting, game is kinda busy by loading and starting demo playback; from the user experience it may looks like "load" game is not working or failed. It's not true; give game engine a little rest (demo should start playing) and try to load saved game...
So, new version 1.2.0 is on the way to the store. BTW, now you may check an actual game version on the game's "help" page.
Thank you, Can you add Import and Export Saved Games on One Drive?
To play on my 830 and my 950XL.

Hmm, another good question What about synchronization via "RoamingFolder"? It's a built-in feature of WP8.1 and up. But in that case you must have the same LiveId on both handsets.
All my phones have the same LiveID
Hmm, unfortunately, MS limited roaming folder quota to 100K only; average doom save game file size is more than 100K Sorry, you should wait for another solution (maybe with OneDrive).
I just submitted update 1.4.0 to the store.
Changes:
game controls redesigned: right on-screen "joystick" replaced with tree buttons, one for run forward, and two for strafes. From the practice, instant action buttons are much more useful than triggering 'cause you don't need to synchronize both finger at the same time
added external (USB or BT) keyboard support
cheat codes now working
added ability to backup & restore saved games
joystick sensitivity control added
various bugs fixed
@titi66200, especially for your feature request, I've added ability to import/export saves. Unfortunately, standard folder picker dialog don't have an "OneDrive" location, just a device & sd-card (however, the file picker has this option; I can't completely understand m$ devs logic at all!) so you'll need an extra-step to synchronize saves between handsets. Maybe later I'll add zipping/unzipping all saves to one archive but for now it's OK.
Thank you sensboston. :good:
You're welcome! By the way, I have a question to you: could you please test updated controls on ultra violence complexity and tell me what do you think? Please check controls settings page, you may want to play with "sensitivity" setting...
I can't test now because crash of my 950 XL on update to last RS.
Reflashing my phone but now i must paid again D00M.
I am waiting if MS can solve my issue.
OK. If you want, I can send you a code. However latest game update still on certification, not published yet Hope, it will be published tomorrow.
Hi, I bought D00M and looking forward to play Plutonia.wad, but this wad and others can't load, because if I want start it (wad) D00M will shutdown. Only doom.wad (but shareware) is working. Please, help.
@Smog1995, I've added working freeware mods archive link to the first post. You may find a lil-bit more on the FP of Russian support forum (use Google translate)
On Lumia 1020 and Lumia 950 XL in 'Save Game' when I tap a name for the backup it shows twice the letter.
Ex:
Titi01
TTiittii0011
But not on the Lumia 830.
With the previous version this worked on my 3 Lumia.
Hmm, it's weird I tested on L-950 (official bits), L-635 (WP8.1) and emulator, everything is working fine (I've added external keyboard support and has "double chars" before releasing (SDL keyboard codes was submitted twice) but already implemented fix for 1.4.0 release (submitted to the store). Right now I've re-tested downloaded version on L-950 & L-635, looks good to me.
@titi66200, could you please try to re-install the game (just in case)? Unfortunately, I don't have 1020 or 950XL right now for tests (btw, what kind of OS bits are installed?)
Reinstalled and same thing.
Lumia 1020 OS Win10.0.14385.0
Lumia 950 XL OS Win10.0.14385.0
Lumia 830 OS Win10.0.10586.456
It seems Redstone issue

Yeah, kinda... Usually, I don't support "dev preview" (aka "tricky free m$ QA replacement") bits but will try to find a solution just for you. I don't promise anything; first I need to find a handset good for the Redstone build (I've sold good old ones L-920/925 on ebay and now have only cheap WPs in stock, like L-635, L-520 etc. excluding L-950 but I don't want to become a "free ms tester" at all, sorry!)
