it won't be a web wrapper but it will however use IE's engine (trident?)

Why do you think so, any proof link? Opera has own engine; C++ is available for programming WP8 so it may be a WP8 port...
Yeah, there's no reason somebody couldn't implement a different rendering engine in a WP8 app. This isn't iOS, where things like JS interpreters are forbidden.
With that said, We Shall See. Thanks for the link!
EDIT: Their beta filled up in a few hours, LOL.

i'll look up a source asap, afaik web browsers aren't allowed to have other other engines than IE's.
which is also why the chromium developers didn't make a WP port (which they wanted to do)
edit: I swear I have read that you couldn't make browser that didn't use the trident engine, but it seems like @GoodDayToDie was right

Web browser is just a regular application which makes HTTP/HTTPS requests and renders HTML responses on the screen, nothing more. There are no any prohibitions at all for this job.
I remember Chrome/Firefox devs being annoyed that you can't change the default browser (the OS doesn't allow apps to specify themselves as handling the HTTP/HTTPS URIs, or to otherwise change the default away from IE). There are also certain things that might make such a port difficult/expensive in general, such as the need to re-write the JS JIT emitter to produce Win32/THUMB-2. The rendering engine itself isn't that hard to port, though.
Has anyone received a download link from opera yet?
Last night i was contacted them, they replied.
"Thank you for joining the Opera Mini beta testers group. As soon as the build is ready, we'll email you a link to the build "
here is link for download!!!!

Lumia 920 too...works but can crash during some site loading.
Edit: After today's update it now crashes on every page load.
Todays update (.903) now loads and functions well on my 920. Pretty fluid, actually. Hopefully more features are added like swipe gestures etc.
The poor standards support is disappointing, try for example to load www.telerik.com .
The sunspider JavaScript test isn't even starting, well, they got a lot of work on this if they want this to be a viable alternative to IE.

Knowing Opera Team dedication for their browser (desktop, tablets and phones), they can pull this out and make it awesome browser. Great thing about them is that they are listening their users and heavily counting on users feedback.
Altho, since first version, Opera Mini on my phone (Samsung ATIV S i8750, WP8 GDR3), was working fine, no crashing, no whatsoever, just that youtube bug that can't play videos. But they will do that, look how many updates they have in few days of releasing a beta. That means, they are working hard. kudos for them.
Let's face it, we all LOVED the Opera Mini and Opera Mobile on our Windows Mobile devices, so by that we all want Opera Mini to succeed on WP platforms, right?

DESCRIPTION
Hi all,
I have been trying for a while to find some GPS/CellID tracking programs that work fine but most of them are buggy and not very accurate. That's why I decided to write my own!
Features:
- Ability to generate KML and GPX files that can be opened with any tool that supports that type of file.
- Realtime tracking with Google Earth or Google Maps.
- You can create and manage your own trips
- No internet connection is needed when using TrackMe (Offline mode)
- Ability to display your current position on your PDA
- Geofence with SMS and email notifications
- You can send your current position by email or sms to other person
- Ability to upload pictures. TrackMe will extract the GPS information/Creation date (if any)
from the pictures and it will match it with your existing GPS data
- Search for closest user based on your last uploaded position
- GPS powersave mode available
- You can use your own server instead of my free server
- Stealth mode
- You can force updates with your own custom icon and comments.

If you guys are interested in this program I will keep it updated, otherwise this will be probably one of the last versions!
Please leave your comments, suggestions and ideas here.
Have fun!
Regards
You can Donate if you like my tools. That's always a good motivation for future developments!! Thanks a lot!
that's pretty dope! Where does it upload the data to? Any chance of sharing the source code and people could add to it? maybe open source it?
Thanks kireol.
Right now it's uploading the information to the mysql database that I have with my web hosting.
Regarding the source code... I think it could be a good idea. Maybe once the program is completely stable I may do it. Thanks for your suggestion.
for sure man, you did a great job! And I for one would love to get involved. I was a programmer at Ford for 15 years(C++/PHP/Perl/Java) until those jobs went to India and forced me to throw away my college degree. I've been dieing to get back into programming (5 years now). This last weekend I snagged MS visual studio .net and the wm6 sdk and started compiling. This might b a good transition for me to get back into thinking that way, if you decide you'd like to OS it that is

Thanks ishkatar.
You just need to go to Config, and enter there a username and password.
The account is created automatically as soon as you start uploading GPS data.
If for any reason the username already exists or there is any other error, you will be notified.
We always approve such moves!!!! Go on and keep up the good work!!!
Very cool.
Maybe you could release the table structure and a way for people to host their own data...like a personal web app.

Wow ... works perfectly!!! I just did a test walk around my office and it mapped it perfectly!!! Good work Staryon. I'm really eager to see how you did it.
Thanks a lot for all your comments. That really encourages me to keep updating the software.
laakness, at this moment the data is inserted into the mysql tables by using HTTP calls. My website gets the HTTP call and depending on the command it will do the specified task. That means that what you mention it would work if they have a website with PHP and a mysql database. A nice feature that I could add in the future is to make the inserts directly to the database instead of using HTTP calls.
However this is something that may not work for many web hostings because they usually don't allow access to mysql from external applications (which is my case by the way)
For the KML files (Google Earth's files) I used a structure that I liked in one of the tools that I found that does something similar to this. I made some modifications though.
I edited my previous post. Obviously where I said URL calls I meant HTTP calls.
Sorry for the confusion!
I have not yet installed it but it looks really cool from the screen shots. I have been using 3DTracking (free) but it is not without its problems and does not look as comprehensive as this. Does it carry on logging position after you power-down (standby) the Kaiser? 3DTracking does and its a real pain as it means you have to keep the screen on all the time!!
Thanks for the info.
I actually do host my own site using PHP/Apache/Mysql which is why I was asking

This app lets you shut the screen off which is great. This app also alows you to set your upload and update intervals. They are great and needed options.

Very good. In that case I can provide everything that you need to use your website.
However, I will have to make it some changes in my code because at this moment the HTTP calls are hardcoded to my website. Once I have this done I will post it here.

We must be neighbors of a sort. I work in Herndon (Worldgate) and was pretty surprised to a bird’s eye view of my office. Hope you aren’t getting stuck doing that toll road shuffle for an am commute – lol.
I installed it on my Wing, but it is not responding.

I changed to port 1 and what I get is - waiting for gps respond.

Hello everyone! We have some great news regarding Saturn Liberty™ Desktop Mobile.
Over the past few months we have been getting newer bigger and better screens on mobile devices and the old VGA version was not big enough. So after you told us that the application was not working fine, we started the development of the Wide Touchscreen Version, some beta versions were sent, feedback was received and bugs were fixed.
So today we announce the release of the final version of Saturn Liberty™ Desktop Mobile for Wide Touchscreen Devices (WVGA).
We hope you enjoy this new version specially made for those amazing wide screen devices such as the HTC Touch Pro 2, HTC Diamond 2, HTC HD2 and many others.
We also want to remind you that the Saturn Liberty™ Accounts let you access to almost all the benefits from Saturn Liberty™ Desktop if you don’t want to install the application.
You can get your copy of the software at http://mobile.ardcorp.tv using your mobile device.

Links don't work for me so I googled it and their website wouldn't load properly either. I'll try it if I can.
Was able to install.
All the software does is embed PIE and give you access to the services via IE (at least, from what I saw).
It's the equivalent of storing two favorites in your IE favorite directory.
Unless it does something else, I would avoid installing it.

Mostly performance upgrades.
Like enable a faster Internet History Cleaner, speed up the graphics by enable 2Mb on cache, adding missing codec’s or updating the existing codec’s.
And thanks to the Microsoft. Net Compact Framework the whole operating system will be more stable and in some cases more responsive.

So what exactly does this application do? The website seems to claim you can listen to radio and watch tv but you are claiming it enhances your ppc. This is all quite confusing...

"Saturn Liberty™ Desktop Mobile Edition Is the version of Saturn Liberty™ Desktop that enables mobile devices to enjoy a faster , simple way to enjoy all the Saturn Liberty™ powered High Definition Radio, and Digital TV Channels.
With Saturn Liberty™ Desktop you only need tree clicks to enjoy your favorite station."
But as any other ARD Corp product we add fixes to the Windows OS and twakes to it will work faster, with our app and overal system
Thats why we recomend installing all the updates and software
Also Liberty Desktop will (once HDTV , DTV and Mobile TV hit the final release) give you more stations/channels that wont be on the website
like some DTV from Fox or Discovery
those are channels for Liberty Desktop Users.
Now as for the fixes on the PPC it will load alilbit more faster and apps that the program uses
Like IE and WMP will run faster because we twake them to work faster so our services will be faster.
Sounds pretty weird. Maybe you could explain a bit what you're tweaking exactly (without giving technical details if you don't want to), as I guess no one wants to be the first to try such an obscur stuff
Caution advised
I'd be very sceptical about installing such an app on my PPC. The site doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that this is a legit product, and you may find it is spyware. If that isn't the case then I apologise, but without an actual feature list...
+1 Sounds like Spyware or even mobile Virus warez....I would probably steer clear. Use ORB or a slingbox for your mobile tv, music and stuff.
lol!
this has been posted a couple of
times now...server is always offline or unavailable. this guy claims to work for this company but never gives any details. i advise everyone to leave
this well alone i dont trust it and i
dont trust him. updates my rom?
this is some sort of bull or
misinterpretation from somewhere.

i will try it
i cant get the wmcontroller app to work in WIndows 7 RC'
does anyone knows what to do
I tried to get this potentially great software to work with Vista Premium incl. TV Pack but whenever I start VMC I get an error message 'can't load...' :-(
Any help is most welcome.
what are the limitations of this software, evorgevol?
specifically the following 4:
- what type of connection(s) does it use to connect to VMC/w7MC (wifi only, or bt optional)?
- is it intelligent enough to work with VMC plugin's? (my movies, MCEweather, daemon tools etc)
- is this a complete replacement for an MCE remote - ie, could i remove the IR-transmitter/reciever?
- is it intelligent enough to realise what menu it is in, and filter out un-used options (ie: 'channel change' and 'record' would be removed if in pictures/dvd area)?

It connects over TCP/IP, so it would have to be connected to your local area network.
This is only really a simple program that interacts with the VmcContoller application, so can only do reasonably basic stuff. I have added functionality to so that it can use the MyMovies application metadata, though most of this is still in progress.
It depends on what you use your remote for as to whether this can be a complete replacement. I currently dont have, and have no intentions in the near future of, having a number/keyboard pad. So if you use these a lot, then it probably won't be a full replacement.
I had planned to make the now playing screen a bit more wise about what type of media is playing, and display different icons accordingly, but this has been marked as more a of a 'nice to have' in the application which i might work on in the future, but have other things I'd rather get working first.
Hope that answers some of your queries...
evorgevol
indeed they all are 'nice-ities', and it wont stop me considering playing with your app.
thanks for answers
Unfortunately, the media center network controller software can not be installed on a Vista X64 pc. I would really like to use this app on my mobile device!
Regards,
André
Man this is absolutely awesome!!!
I don't have a MS MediaCenter solution but MythTV, so I wanted to do the same app like you did but for MythTV quite a while.... I already gave up in searching a usable GUI framework like your Fluidity and started writing my own (Which took basically up all my time so far - that's why there is not even an app yet ... But your solution kicks the living sh**t out my little approach.
Is it ok if I borrow up the framework and perhaps some junks of code from your app??? I don't think I'd get it done better if I would try myself, so it would be nice if I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. I will of course list you in the credits page of the app.
I spend some hours browsing through your code and I think I got almost through in understanding how the controls basically work. The only thing I miss is the complete overview of how the binding to the actual data is done. The idea with the Templates for the single Items is pretty neat and makes it extremly flexible!

Thanks for reminding me... I forgot to give the original author credit!!! The control framework I use on TouchRC is called Fluid controls, and it's on codeplex here.
I will update my codeplex to give him the credit he deserves, I certainly wouldnt have been able to do any of my app without it!!
Just for thought though, if you create a TCP/IP server for your app, and use the same receive commands as VmcController, then you should just be able to use my app entirely! Or, if you do make it different, and you want me to, I can add your commands to my app too, so that the user would be able to control both windows and myth from the same application!

Can you load up the http server for vmc? (ie, on a diff computer, go to http://hostpc:40510) and see if that works? if it doesn't, then it probably means that VmcController isn't working properly. If this is the case, then revert to the codeplex site of VmcController to ask for help.

Ah, I saw the codeplex page but I somehow thought you guys were the same
Thanks a lot for the offer, but I plan to build a 'richer' remote client for MythTV. Means, besides a remote control function I want to be able to browse the Program Guide, Recordings, Movies, Music, Pictures on the phone and select them to play on the PC/TV.
And I have some other ideas which would be pretty neat, but for now I am already happy if I get the above items finished. (technically thats usually no prob, but once you solved all the tiny little problems and know how to code the whole thing it often gets boring )

Hey evorgevol,

I now have the basic server + client API done so far for my project. I hope I'll reach the alpha state up to your level within the next 1 or 2 months... Then it should really go quick...

I've been stupidly busy recently, so haven't had any chance to work on it for a while. I'm hoping that will change next month. I have made some minor updates to it (but not checked it in), but won't be making another release for a couple of weeks yet. Hopefully soon though!!! How's yours coming along?
I was looking for a way to stream my media on the go. I tried VLC, but that was too buggy, orb was too slow and then I came across TVersity which works great.
You can access it with the webinterface when you are on the road. It works very good on the A101, but it is lacking some features. So I wondered if there is an apk available with some more features. If there isn't I think I am going to write one or adjust the webinterface.

I had some time this weekend and am almost done with writing my own app and webinterface for android to access the Tversity webserver.
If there is interest in this, I will develop it further, so that it is end user ready. If not I just fit it to my needs and I am done with it.
The program is a small apk that needs to be installed on the archos and some webfiles that needs to be copied to the server where Tversity is installed.
Maurice
I'm definitely interested!
me too on archos 10.1 and 7.0
love to get this app too
Nice work divx118!
Shame TVersity don't have a linux alternative. I do believe there is one in the works though, so I'll be keeping an eye on your project... if you undertake it that is.

Unfortunately there is indeed no linux or mac version available. For now it is windows only.
If I find some time next weekend I will see if I get a beta version ready no promisses though. For serving videos I have it almost ready. There are however some issues with streaming audio when you are not on the local network. With some files the music player on my 101 will crash. I think it is the long url that is the problem I had no time to investigate if this is indeed true. I myself will not use music streaming, but I see if it is possible to solve this.
For video files I have thumbnail support, with a work a round. It needs the thumbnail with the same name as your videofile in a folder where also my webcontrol will be.
If you however have XBMC installed it is just a few minutes work todo this. I am also looking if I can get it to work for the parent folders, now it is only working for the video files itself.
Maurice
very interested, i already use tversity for 360 streaming.
I'm interested also!
I'm interested as well...
I am still working on it. My free time is however limited. That is why it is taken so long. Atleast this weekend I have some time available.
A little update on what still needs to be done and what is ready before a first release:
1) creating the APK to install on your archos. This is ready and is working for videofiles streaming. TODO for the APK is cleaning up the code and put in some error catching. Also I still have to decide if I use a new intent to play audio files or integrate the mediaplayer in the apk. For videos I use a new intent, this means it will start the default videoplayer for playing your videofiles. For audio this didn't work so well in my testing.
For handling the pictures I decided to do that entirely in the webcontrol, which is much easier.
2) The webcontrol is also almost ready. TODO is integration of pictures viewing like a slideshow etc.
The features are pretty simple. You can add two urls in the apk one for if your are on your local network and on for when you are on the road. Further you can adjust the number of items that will be displayed in one view. I tested with 100 items and it was very fast.
You can choose between thumbnail view and listview for pictures and a seperate item view setting when in thumbnail view.
If you have anymore features that should be added you can just post a reply with your suggestions.
Maurice
thanks for this.
the default video player isn't cutting it for me.
Can't wait to test this out when it's released
ditto, can't wait to test it out!
Hi,
Try Qloud Video, it is same as 'AirVideo' on iPhone,
search it in market and you will surprise.
Leo
Any chance we can get a look at your current app? I am dying to get my hands on it. If not such is the way of life.
Interested, this would be awesome to have.
Just a little update:
Playing audio in the apk is ready. Audioplayer is pretty simple start, pause, next song, previous song and shuffle the playlist. You can also click on a song in the playlist. Only playing mp3 gives sometimes a scrambled output. It seems to be an archos issue.
You can use a horizontal swipe to switch between audioplayer and the webview.
I also want the same implementation for images, because displaying them in the webview is a bit slow. That is what I am working on right now.
Another feature I added is when rotating the archos the GUI rotates too.
However it still needs some work before a first release, it is the first time I code in java and on android. So I need todo some research to see how things are done. Also I don't want to release a version that only half works and then putting my time in answering questions "when do we get an update?", "Why doesn't the app work?" and so on.
Please be patient
The release will be in the near future, I guess I need a few more free weekends, maybe less to finish it.
Thanks to all for your interest.

If you pay me the loss of income I have no problem doing that
BTW I am going to add a new feature, downloading files.

I think we can all agree, for the most part, that using facebook on an Android tablet leaves a lot to be desired. I started off with FriendMe because it didn't pester me with ads, but then switched to FaceDroid after FriendMe got too buggy. I found FaceDroid's UI to be far too busy and it started getting a little buggy as well, so I switched to FriendCaster, which does as many things wrong as it does right. Further, I haven't found a browser that handles Facebook's desktop website well enough for me to use it full time.
So I'm curious to find other peoples' opinions. What is everyone using to access facebook?

I don't even bother with Facebook on my Prime anymore. It's irritating. I just fall back to my laptop or Nexus.
Hopefully they develop an HD Facebook app for tablets soon.
Friendcaster
I'm using FriendCaster. I think it's the best... It really fast.
Facebook official App for android is really bad...
I tried Friendcaster but it's widget never updates automatically.

plua one. And the photo functions are great.
I just use touch.facebook.com. It's simple, albiet a bit plain, but it works. Except for when the site is down which happens weirdly often...
Don't do Facebook, thats how.
I use the facebook app, but very, very begrudgingly. It's a horrible app. Awful layout, doesn't take advantage of real estate, and there are a multitude of basic functions it can't perform.
I don't have a solution, I just came in to lament the fact that one of my most-visited websites has such a terrible native option =P

+1 I have to agree
Stock browser for full desktop site works wonders for me.
For messaging however, I use the messaging app.
I use "tinfoil for Facebook". It doesn't have those invasive permissions that the other applications have. It just loads the website in a sandbox environment. No tracking cookies, reading history, looking at my contacts or getting my GPS location.

I just use m.facebook.com in Dolphin. If you want a decent rendering of the Desktop facebook.com then use Chrome.
Just go to Facebook on your browser.
I don't get why there are all these apps for websites. You can replace all of them with a decent browser.
Scroll through theverge.com and then scroll through it via Google Currents. It's a matter of usability, not capability. Anywho, I get some weird artifacting and hotlinking when I use the desktop facebook through the browser. I'm just curious as to what everyone else uses.
I have tried a lot of options, so far the best option for me is the stock browser, Shame on you facebook
I want to like FriendCaster but when I compare newsfeed with the Facebook app, it is always missing posts

I use Google+ and Blogger. When I post something on Blogger, it automatically gets syndicated to RSS, Twitter, and Facebook by way of external services, and I hope someday to Google+ without having to share posts out of the browser. Contacts have been beaten with a club enough that they know better than to Facebook me in reply.
When I used to use Facebook regularly I took to using the mobile site in Opera Mobile, much better than the app was back then.

Try out the official Facebook app for iPad and then try comparing it to the browser.. you will quickly understand. The webpage is not optimized for touch.. and chat is not working at all on the prime's browser. You have to use the messenger app.
