Upon finding out that I can't upload my programs made in app inventor to the market (currently google restricts this), I decided to help some other AI developers out and allow them to post their apps for download on my website: www.xxthe3dmanxx.com
Curently I am only accepting apps that fall under these requirements.
1) The app must be useful to the android community (no fart or porn type apps)
2) The app must be free (currently I have no way to accept paid apps)
3) OpenSource is recommended but not required.
4) The app must have been made by you.
5) Only app inventor made apps will be accepted.
If you are interested send me a pm with a description of your app and your name for (application credit), if your app is a beta please list known issues with it. If I approve your app I will send you info on where you can send your app. Also if you would like, once your app gets approved you can also send me an icon for your app and I will replace the stock app inventor icon for you (currently there is no way to do this inside app inventor).
Please allow 2 days for a response from me.
Thats a great offer,
OK well I'm trying to make a simple app that lets people record voice messages, like " there is ice on the road here" and allow other users to be able to see such warnings before they get to the point in question. I thought it could be used with a compass to determin the direction of travel.
With out building a whole navigation system, do you thinkthis could be achieved ?

I like the idea. Sounds difficult but just about anything is possible. Its gonna require a nice database. Let me know how it goes.
a friend of mine had the idea of making an app and thought that id bring it to life, well the idea is that it lets u choose which keyboard u want to use in landscape mode and portrait mode, example being swype in portrait and stock keyboard in landscape... can this be done?

Possibly the app would have to recognize which way the phone is and auto switch the default keyboard for you.

Except that Andriod security stuff restricts that. You can't auto-change the keyboard, you can pop up the dialog to select one, but you can't change it without user intervention.
It makes sense, as keyboards can steal passwords and such, so you don't want to allow a trojan to install a keylogger AND enable it. It would be nice if they would let you pick keyboards to enable switching between though.
This could be bypassed, but it would require a full custom ROM built from source.

That makes perfect sense. Its always the simple sounding apps that become difficult lol.
Is there any other way to use app inventor other than getting an invite? Google is stalling on me.

Hello i want to ask how can I transder my sms from telephone to PC ,and then from PC to telephone.Thanks
If you have a full unlock, and want to do it from Windows Phone to Windows Phone, you can use the SMSBackup app.
Otherwise this is not possible.

It is possible using Mirolg's full back up app.
It is found in Windows Phone Development section of XDA.
I've never tried it but I know it exists.
Answer is accurate, but not helpful - any backup app will probably allow this, but no backup app will run on a locked phone. SMS Backup is very user friendly, and can transfer SMS to a TXT file on Skydrive for you to read later. It can even filter out messages e.g. from a specific contact.
Read the dev forum if you want to unlock your device (not currently possible on Titan II unless you buy Developer unlock)
Can these app be installed on non Samsung devices? I really like the look of the RSS Times Reader..
I have come from an android background and we could just install an apk file. Do we have a simpler approach that can be taken for windows devices..
Thanks in advance.
No u cant do it .like android.

Just to give a little more detail on this...
Only way you can "sideload" apps is with a Developer account. If you have edu email, you can get a free dreamspark account but othewise it's $99.99 a year (close to that, dreamspark 3 apps, Dev 10 apps limits) but, as a factory locked device, no you can not just sideload a app like you can on Android devices.
If the hackers have their way, maybe soon but, nothing besides dev right now...
in wp7 people had figured out how to enable the OEM store sections, i don't remember how it was done, but it may be able to be replicated on wp8
AW: Samsung Apps
you need a unlock 4 your device...otherway u cant get out of the sandbox or get access to the registry...
and till now there is no unlock 4 wp8 phones!
they are good protectet by ms...but where a lock theres a unlock...so lets see what comes in future

GDR3 no officially released yet...
to get GDR3 preview for developer you must have developer unlocked Lumia.
is two way to get this: pay annual subscription to Microsoft or free via student dreamspark account or AppStudio
here is free solution
1. Register for the Windows Phone App Studio. The Windows Phone App Studio is a free tool for developing Windows Phone Apps, it doesn’t have as many features as the full software development kit, but it’s simple and easy to use and most importantly it includes the ability to developer unlock one Windows Phone so that you can install your own apps to it for testing. You’ll want to register using the same Microsoft ID that you use with your Windows Phone.
2. You must install the security certificate that is emailed to you after you sign up for the Windows Phone App Studio program above. Find the email on your phone, download the attached security certificate and tap the install button when prompted.
3. Install the Preview for Developers App on your Windows Phone. After the install completes, launch the apps, and follow the instructions to enable your phone for the preview program.
4. Go to Settings > Phone Update and check for updates. After a while of “checking for updates”, your phone should find the GDR3 install files and from there you’ll be able to download and install them. The phone will reboot, show some gears animations for a while, then reboot again and perform a data migration step. After that you should be running the latest built of Windows Phone 8.0 GDR3!

good
I had a weird bug on my Lumia 920 with GDR3 preview, the system just stopped opening any app, even those wich are system app, like Setup or Phone... It all came back to normal after I've rebooted my phone.
Hello,
I have updated to GDR3 on my Lumia 920. Its kind of great really to close apps in the multi tasking window, saves the trouble of pressing back button like a million times. I miss it though.
And also ability to change custom ringtones for messaging & other notifications. I don't really care about the other updates as of now.
But am worried about its battery life. Wifi, Location is always on. While on GDR2, with light gaming & messaging & a few calls it used to last 10-12 hrs.
But with GDR3 which I updated to about 3 hours ago & with full charge, I've used half hour to 45 minutes gaming & after no usage what so ever & with wifi, location always ON, the battery has gone down to 38% in just 2 hrs 36 mins.
Is it the case with everybody who has updated or does the mobile has to get adjusted to the update (like in changing a rom on an android mobile, doesn't give you a good battery life after 2-3 cycles) ?
Thanks & Regards,
Narender Reddy
---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------
And also, in some forums I read that the heating on the back of the device has gone a bit low after GDR3 update, but its not the case with my mobile at all. I was so looking forward to having less heating issues in this update.
Turning off location also didn't help. Anybody got any solution, I'd deeply appreciate it.
Thank you.
battery on my Lumia 920 with WiFi on 24h, Skype on, hold up to 40 hours but i disabled most of background services (in settings - applications - background tasks), turned off auto email checking, facebook chat off, BT off, use data service only when need

Hi,
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515453
@dxdy
Is it recommended to leave it that way regarding future updates?
Will it also allow our phones to download preview/unstable versions?
Should we disable it after GDR3 update is complete or just leave it as it is?
Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
Is it possible to develop apps or watchfaces and distribute by Samsung store for new Gear Fit 2? Some developer can confirm that or not?
Yes you can. Just need to sign up through the Samsung Tizen developer site and then build the apps/watches faces to the store.

Thanks for your reply. I am curious how to test an app. I bought device Gear Fit 2. I will able to test on device or need some emulator from Tizen developer site?
I have an idea for small quiz app from school time and maybe will be possible to push it to gf2, maybe.

space below music player on gear fit 2 drop down menu
The Gear Fit 2 drop down menu has an empty rectangle below where it says music player. I wish this could be assignable or at least let you tap home. In order to go home in a lot of cases you have to hit the home button. I wish you could swipe and tap your way through on the screen itself.

There's no support from the Tizen Studio (installed latest version 1.1.0). So, there's no template, you'll have to start from scratch. There's also no Emulator template either. There's great examples included, incl. native app which shows how access sensors (runs great in the emulator). The Fit2 is fully Tizen RTOS compatible. I tried to use one of the S2 examples to make it Fit2 compatible. Not luck, W/o a working template and a working emulator I give up...
So at this moment we can't really develop apps unless we know how to make it from scratch? No help for amateurs?

Correct, Samsung policy, buy at your own risk...
The screen res is 216x432. I made layout pics to use with the emulator. The db-file is the button assignment file. But haven't figured out yet, how everything works together.

Such a shame. It has lot of potential. Decent hardware and software that offers a lot as well. Could you please let me/us know if you figure something out? If Samsung doesn't want to help me use my watch to its full potential, I would happily spend my time doing that myself.

I got an emulator working, BUT the screen settings are not ok, screen elements are being cut off, have to investigate...
Somebody interested helping me?
Emulator running: http://imgur.com/Uzdk0zB
Settings cut-off: http://imgur.com/nYeKZLi
Settings itself ok: http://imgur.com/pBaPrEk
Power Off ok too: http://imgur.com/Ir0p5sd
Both buttons (back and Home) are working.
If I find a way to make the emulator robust, no screen cut-off I can transfer sample apps from Gear S2 to Fit2. That's the first steps of developing own apps for this thing.

This looks promising. I would gladly help but I don't think that I would be of any use with my lack of skills.
I have Neonto studio installed which looks like an easy way of creating apps but I could not figure out how to get the app on my watch. Probably because there is no emulator for it in Tizen Studio.

You need the Tizen Studio to get apps onto the watch. In developer mode.
There's no template for this watch for Tizen Studio, so the interfaces are not declared (API to sensors), the screen resolution is not set (see my cut-off settings screen) and the GUI elements are not defined (swipe, L/R. D/U, no ring like Gear S2). I doubt that there'll be apps for this watch until some skilled person adds this to the SDK...
if somebody is interested I can send them what i did so far, it'll save some time in doing the emulator templates.

Three questions/requests:
1. What SDK did you use for Gear Fit 2? Wearable 2.3 or 2.3.1 or is there one for Gear Fit 2?
2. Are you able to push your app/project into your Gear Fit 2 via debug mode or something?
3. Would you be able to share your sample project that is tested to work on Gear Fit 2?
Best regards!

Hi only started to experiment today with my new fit 2. And got a hello tizen app on the fit 2. I was only following the samsung step by step guide.
1.) Used 2.3.2
2.) Yes, debug mode is working
Now i need to investigate how to build a minimal ui. I want to build a small app, that unlocks my smart door lock.
1.) enable wifi
2.) wait until connected to my router
3.) get thet state of the lock
4.) send the unlock command
5.) close app and disable wifi
So i'm able to go running without any additional key or phone.

Hmmm I am running mine on Windows, that might be the reason.
I think I know the reason now, I downloaded the Tizen SDK 2.4 not the Tizen Studio 1.1.1 so now I have the 2.3.2 option. =D

Nice. That's exactly what I would like to use my watch for. I don't have a smart door lock but I'm planning on getting one in the future. Right now I wish I was able to make an app for MacID or a simple shopping list/reminder app
Great idea - I am starting research to try something similar

If you make any progress, I'd be keen to hear, and I'm happy to share what I get done too.
I will probably look at it sometime over the next month when I have time as I am a complete noob to Tizen.
I never thought to have the watch directly open the door (but now I am going to copy that idea - thanks), originally I just wanted to have the watch trigger phone to open door (to avoid getting phone out to open door) I previously had tasker detecting the phone shaking trigger my door unlock, but It would be much neater to get the watch to do that instead.
Door unlock is simple https request with authentication token.
