Recommended WP8 Apps - Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games

Hi all. I just got my Lumia 920 today and am loving it so far (except for a yellow tint my hardware buttons have). I have never used any Windows phones before and had a couple of questions. Is there a decent app that will let me put a clock live tile on the homescreen? Also, does anyone know if you can put your own custom notification sounds on it? Thanks for any help anyone could offer.

You should be able to modify sounds in your Settings.
As for the LIVE Tile for a Clock? I would say, give it a Month and I am sure something will come out. Just recently we got the SDK (well, the general public). Also takes forever to get these App's accepted.

Plenty of Clock apps in the store. If they say "With a live tile" then they should have the ability to be pinned to start.

For anyone with the HTC, the HTC app may be pinned and will display a nice large digital time.

I just got my 920 Friday. I too want a live clock that has big numbers. But I tried every clock in the store and so far none have a 'live' tile. I'm assuming that some devs will make them soon now that they finally have the SDK. In fact the HTC clock states that 'due to limitations' it's not live so I expect it will probably be one of the first.
I'm hoping for the same with a calendar. The clock and the calendar are the two things I dislike about my phone. But give it a month or two.

I love this about my HTC 8X. I wish this app was available for other Windows Phones or something similar to it. Just like the other member pointed out, the SDK has only been out for a few weeks. Should start seeing some more apps popping up.

It's unfortunate that there have to be exclusive apps.
I mean, no one is going to buy an HTC phone just because it comes with a big clock live tile.
What's the benefit of exclusivity?
Why not help further the entire Windows Phone community?
I have the HTC 8X and I quite like the integrated clock / weather tile.
I would just just as happy with two, separate, tiles.

I was directed to http://www.wpcentral.com for an HTC 8X forum.
They seem to be a much better place to talk about Windows Phone.
I have also found that you can only add custom ringtones (not notifications).

Real HTC Flipping Clock!!!

What the heck is this???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HLKL4jVu6A
I mean, if springboard can do the real flipping action and look neat like
this one, why cant it be done decently on other Android devices?
Ive spent a few hours searching for a decent app... they all suck! Can anyone help me?? PLEASE??!??
Sense analog clock
About the closest I've found is "Sense Analog Clock" on the market.
I think the MIUI interface has one that is close also.
https://market.android.com/search?q=sense+analog+clock&so=1&c=apps
Thanks for your help!!! But I'm looking for the actual animation FLIP...
Thank you nonetheless though!!
have you tried "Animating Flip Clock Widget"?
Is there really a market for this? I've always used HTC so I've always had it, but I don't see why it would be difficult to write one from scratch. What's it worth? I might give it a shot.

Thank you for your response, and yes.. I have tried that app.. but it is not getting updates from the vendor at all.. It think it's just an anonymous data collector.... Can't resize, Cant do Weather... Yadda Yadda, Oh yeah, and it also get's clipped when you go landscape.
Geene Poole- I think there would be a market.. the issue is, I heard that it has been done in the past, and the dev's have gotten C&D letters from HTC for patent infringement... If I were a dev, I wouldn't give two squirts of piss about the C&D letter considering HTC is a China owned company, and we all know how much China respects other peoples patents and trademarks
If I were a Dev, I would have done this a long time ago... Can I assist with anything?

Huh? All HTC Android phones running Sense 2.0-3.5 have the flip clock. ( Those running Sense 1.9 like Desire has it too but it doesn't have the flipping animations though.) Which version of Sense are you running?

Notification Center/ Status Bar Menu Tweaks & Add-On?

Does anyone know of tools or tweaks to add weather, stocks, notes, favorite apps and calls, etc... into your android status bar menu/ notification center like on the iphone?
Besides installing different Roms which lack add-on functions....

Most of what you want to accomplish will be done with individual apps.
- There are a lot of weather apps that have the option (BeWeather, Weatherbug, and others). Do a Google search for "weather in status bar android market," it'll turn up more.
- I'm not aware of a way to get stocks in the pulldown. I suggest starting with perusing the stocks apps in the market and looking at their features. There are a ton.
- StatusNotes is a great application that will allow you to make notes to yourself. They stay in the notification pulldown, and you can change its icon.
- Smart Taskbar is an example of an application that can give you quick access to favorite apps. It doesn't put them in the notification pulldown, but I'm sure there are apps that do. Also, check out Super Status Bar. It has a lot of options to theme your notification pulldown, and its functionality.
- Not sure what you mean by "calls." Shortcuts to contacts?
*This is not an attack against you or anything, but I HATE when I see "like the iPhone" questions. Soo annoying. Android is a complicated OS, but far more advanced than iOS. If you want to do something in Android, there is a way. I'm sure of it. I've been using Android exclusively for a while, and I'm still learning. It will take time to learn your way around, but once you do, you'll be amazed.

I agree.. I used android for a while, and then bought and iphone 4. Everyone is always saying that with iOS "there's an app for that!" - but guess what... THERE ISN'T! I'm IT support. Android is so much more network admin friendly than iphone when it comes to apps. I ended up selling off my iphone and going with a Galaxy S2. Best decision I ever made.

I somewhat agree. I'm guilty of it myself since I came from the iPhone. I have asked questions before and I have used the "like the iphone". But not to make it sound like "well the look what the iphone can do". But knowing there are people here that have used the iphone in the past, they may know what im reffering to when I ask.
Also, Simba..thanks for the list. I may be checking some of those you listed myself.
Palmary weather pro is pretty legit.

And to think that Android has all this cool stuff like the iPhone does, years before the iPhone did. To reiterate Simba here, not an attack on the OP, but the perception that the iPhone did anything first is my pet peeve. The only thing the iPhone did first was great marketing.

Anyone notice the lack of Lockscreen weather

So there's no dedicated lg weather app, besides triggering it from the lg home screen widget (won't work with nova). This is clearly different from the g3 ports I ran on my now "old" g2 which had a weather app, and lockscreen animations worked. Is this why the lockscreen weather animations aren't working? Wtf Verizon, and what is that God awful messaging app Verizon added?!... One word.... "frozen!" - thank you ioroot!
I also tried making some nova shortcuts to the weather app (which appears in the list for activities), but it says the app is not installed....
Another oddity, where the hell did my weatherbug elite app go? It's gone from the playstore! Only the free, ad supported one is available to me....
Yep, your weatherbug, also can not find Flowly, ESPN sportscenter, apparently Verizon also wiped out the LG tasks app (although I see it in the app manager). Only weather animation or anything I've seen on the lock screen is when it's raining.
I also can not figure out how to get a message preview on my lock screen of a text rather than just "test".

yeah my lockscreen was covered with rain drops and i have espn sportscenter but i did restore all my apps from tibu
I noticed a few things missing, so I'm currently downloading a different rom and I'm going to see if I can pull those apks, add them to my Verizon G3, and get the proper weather animations along with a few other missing goodies. If someone could help compile a list of all missing features, that would help.
I know the weather animations are off, no stock browser, and no access to the Task app, but what else was there? (This will give me something to do at work today. :silly: )

Nice, I'm still plucking through, but I'll keep this thread posted with my findings. Much like the verizon g2 we also don't have the "hiddenmenu.apk", so no dialer codes will work. @xdabbeb came up with a great solution by pulling the apk from another varient, pushing it to system/app and firing of a terminal or adb code to execute it on the g2. I don't see any this wouldn't work here either.
Thanks for doing this. Is there a native flashlight app, or a way to set mms limit so pictures look better, or a way to see a text message preview on the lock screen (like the g2, had an option to read part of the message vs "New message" ) on the other g3 variants

will the home screen weather widget from the G2 work on the G3?
Anyone notice the lack of wallpapers? And literally no live wallpaper! LG should have that out the box..I shouldn't have to go look for a live wallpaper or a nice wallpaper on day 1

I also noticed that if you set an Alarm, it doesn't show up on the Lockscreen. So if you want to check what time you set the alarm, there is no way to know unless you check the clock app. Talking about the weather info on Lockscreen, on the S3, after the JellyBean update, Samsung took away the Weather info from the Lockscreen. Why? I don't understand why Manufacturers are removing these simple and useful information.
That sucks, coming from a G Flex, probably the best stock weather animation out of the box, I am going to miss it. Granted I switched to Nova for awhile and lost the awesome weather widget, however still have the weather on the lockscreen.
Oh well, shouldn;'t even say I will miss it, as I will be currently rocking two phones. Flex for at home and LG G3 will be my work phone as I don't get service for crap in PA from Tmobile, my current provider. Great in the city, terrible in the boonies....still!
Should have my G3 Tomorrow, hopefully. Their CS is a joke compared to Tmobiles...also their online site!
I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to, but in your post title it says you lack lock screen weather. If you go into settings, under lock screen, you can set it to show widgets and add the widgets you want, which includes weather. From there, when you wake the device, the lock screen will show the weather widget on top.
I saw where you can check that box, I don't see any place you can actually add a widget though.
The lack of apps on Google Play is due to the screen resolution and size. When more developers start including it in their app development we will start to see more apps available from Google Play. You should be able to side-load them ok though. However there is no guarantee they will work.
You should have better luck from the more active/better developers .

If you prefer press and hold the lock screen, you can drag it down and it only displays lock. Once that's done, you can press and hold the clock and drag up to the trash. After that you can add the widget you want in it's place.
Got some rain tonight and got the animations. Definitely cool, wish they showed for all types of weather.

'Strawberry Weather' a beautiful way to weather!

Hi people, I am a Windows Phone user since last 3 years. I loved it a lot and I had quite an interest in these sort of gadgets.. So I decided to make beautiful apps for the platform!
Fast and smooth even on 512MB RAM. Tested on LUMIA 520!!
Strawberry Weather, the app shows you current weather, with next 5 days forecast in details (I mean quite the details).
You can let the GPS locate you or can set location manually. Can choose the units (Metric/Imperial)..
The places you search, sync with all your Windows 10 devices. There is no hassle of searching and favoriting places. You just search and they sync with devices. If you want to remove a place, you can. Simple!
The live tile updates hourly and if there are any upcoming alerts, a toast informs you!
Personalize with themes and icons!
Give it a try, I'm sure you will like it!
https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NBLGGH4NQ3T
Well, I think my app stands against other weather apps quite well! It is completely free!!
And that's not even the best part of it! I plan to update it frequently with better features and evolve into ultimate weather experience, it's just the beginning!
If you showed support, I will get encouraged more and will make different kinds of apps! Thank you! And don't forget the name 'Strawberry Corp'!

Would you like yo share how was your experience? What you liked and what you didn't? Any feature recommendations? It's my first app. With only 2 months of experience in coding. So, I'm a bit nervous how it performs for users and how do they like it! I'm glad that it loads the weather faster than Microsoft weather app though! Esp on lower end devices. Hoping to hear from you soon!
I am sorry
I have it installed and it has worked well in lumia 520
I have some suggestions for you:
1. You can add more languages example (spanish)
2. Add more icons weather
3. time
4. Pin in the screen with icons because now I only see information
5. battery%
I think asking a lot but in the future could be much better
and have more downloads.
With two months as a developer you have taken the first step into the world of applications and just follow what you like

No you are not asking a lot. I have some of these things on my mind. Thanks for the feedback. I will update with these features as soon as possible!
Strawberry Weather v1.2.14
* Now you can set Strawberry Weather to show detailed lockscreen status.
* A new wide tile design to match the lockscreen status.
* Set the duration between live tile updates!
* Faster GPS lock, as well as improved performance. Battery consumption which already was pretty low is cut down to half of it now!
See the attachments for screenshots. Hope you like it!
Strawberry Weather v 1.2.38
* Toast - Now we tell you to take umbrella with you, if it is going to rain!
* Setting to set bottom command bar to compact or minimal!
* New theme creater UI! created themes sync with your devices!
I must say I am quite satisfied with my app. I never got to test my app with other apps (I have MSN weather and Acuuweather just to test my app against), as it was a very hot summer where I live and every app would show similar temperature reading sans the difference of 1-2 degrees. Sky would be clear with a few coulds at the most! But yesterday was something else. I and one my friend had plans to go over to my another friend's home yesterday evening. And as usual, my app gave me a toast notification, saying it would rain in the evening. So, I checked both the apps, MSN weather and Accuweather too and surprisingly they showed clear sky and at the most it would go cloudy. But my app was showing, light rain/ moderate rain/ thunderstorm throughout the night. I chose to believe in my own app, and took umbrella, raincoat with me. And boy, it rained.. Followed by a thunderstorm. So much that we had to spend the whole night there at friend's home! Had I not believed, I would have catched cold or fever today!
Thank you so much..

Discussion for BoredSigns — Custom SignBoard Widgets

Ever wish that LG had given the V10/V20 more widgets in the second screen? Well, wish no more! BoredSigns adds many more widgets to your SignBoard (get it? SignBoard --> BoredSigns?), ones you may need and ones you may not.
The best part about BoredSigns? It doesn't need root! That's right; you can get some brand new widgets on your completely Stock V10 or V20. In the future, ADB may be necessary for certain widgets, but right now, you don't need your computer at all.
Current widgets:
— Information
— Weather
— Image
— Navigation Bar
This app is open source! If you aren't willing to pay $0.99 to buy it, feel free to build it for yourself. I only ask that it not be re-distributed without substantial modifications (i.e. more than changing the theme and name).
GitHub: https://github.com/zacharee/BoredSigns
Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/105544332208886942595
Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to suggest a new widget!
Package name is com.zacharee1.boredsigns
I already have it and its working flawlesly ?

I bought it in the play store (I want to support any development for the 2nd screen).
I have to thank you just for the simple fact that at first, I didn't know how to run it... so I went into the 2nd screen options. I had no idea that I had other widgets that I could run. I never thought to tap the "..." on "Show when main screen on" so I have been stuck with the basic options this whole time. Worth my $1.05 right there.
So, after using it for a few minutes, I noticed the persistent notification for BoredSigns, so I long-pressed it and turned off all notifications. Will this negatively affect the operation of the app? I did notice that when I swiped my notification shade down, or when switching between widgets, the 2nd screen options would come on, so I restarted the phone. It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore, but I did have to toggle weather on and off a few times to get a real location and not 100*F in Philadelphia.
Bonus question... where can I find out more about the "yet unreleased AOSP implementation of the 2nd screen?"
Found the perfect image for the second screen a mod one of the best football team in the world...perfect fit and color !
Happy user here....thank you again for this :highfive:
So someone suggested I do a navigation bar widget. After lots of Java reflection (the actual tool, not thinking about my life with Java), I went with a simple Accessibility Service.
Because of that, these functions will be available:
- Back
- Home
- Recents
- Split Screen
- Power
