Any app for WinMo similar to "Lose It!" for the Iphone? - General Topics

Greetings,
Being an avid WinMo user, imagine my surprise when I opened up a new Ipod Touch on Christmas morning. The wife thought I'd be into it, what can I say? Anyway, the only thing I have in fact been using it for is this cool little free app I downloaded called "Lose It!" that helps you track your daily caloric intake and exercise activity. It's almost like a little nutritionist/trainer in your pocket. I've lost 2 pounds in a week already, just by actually paying attention to how many calories I'm taking in.
Anyway, the question is, does anything like this exist for WinMo? A google search has thus far turned up nothing. I'd like to ditch the Ipod and get back to carrying around just one gadget.
Thanks.
PS: here's the website for the Lose It app for reference... http://www.loseit.com/

I have not found anything. It is a nifty little application too!
Bummer because there are some real cool applications for the iPhone/ipod touch.
Now if we could get a version of WinMo to run like OS X does on the iPhone we would be in heaven!

I think the problem is that there are so many different WM handhelds, so its harder to create apps...

Try these...

Just write a spreadsheet I think im about to make one now. Excel formulas can be a wonderful thing if you know how to use it.

Yeah I use Excel everyday, all day at work. I haven't found the function in Excel that tells me how many calories are in a turkey wrap though. If you can tell me what shortcut I use to do that, I'd appreciate it.

iPhone for PPC - Which is the best?

I have been using Slide2Unlock on my WM6 Hermes now for a while and have really gotten to like it, so much that I want the iPhone look and feel on my PPC.
I have seen a few around but then seem parts of the full package. Is there one particular one that seems the best all rounder?
I came across this one but haven't tried it yet:-
http://www.ozankilic.com/?p=31
I would like a version that has the iPhone dialler but needs to have the smart dialler functionality so that names come up when I type numbers etc..
I would also like to continue to use Slide2Unlock
Also, I would like the icons on the today screen etc...
Can you please point me in the direction of a good version.
Many Thanks
Mark
Can anyone offer any input into this topic? or pointers to different iPhone themes
Thanks

That looks good but doesn't appear to have the animations etc..
How do you think it compares to http://www.ozankilic.com/?p=31?
have also come across this one but also don't know how it compares to all the others:-

These seems to be so many, is there one particular good allrounder?

Wisbar Desktop
Check out
www.lakeridgesoftware.com
Its a program called wisbar advance and desktop. They are great programs and will let you design your UI any way you like. If you go to the forum and under skins, search for iphone. You will find people who have done plenty of iphone skins and have uploaded them so others can use them.
Right now there is no way for our phones to handle the transitions that they show the iphone do. It take my phone (Hermes) 5 seconds to do a transition that is fade to black. So until Windows Mobile upgrades the way the run graphics we are out of luck.
For transitions, try iTask. There are actually a bunch out there right now;
Grumps' iPhone App (stable, fast, has animation of icons disappearing one after another when opening app, but no longer being developed)
iFonz (active developer, many features, but kinda slow startup, since it is written fully in .NET)
iTask (written completely in flash, if you can deal with that, it has iPhone-style animations and is fast, not much development lately)
In the end, it's all personal preference. From what I remember, Grumps' iPhone App is the lightest and fastest, but least featured (a straightforward launcher). iFonz aims the most to emulate the iPhone exactly, but iTask is pretty similar, and has built-in apps like Satellite.
This thread seems to be advertising in every post...
Ads on xda?
Good lordy, ban that person!
Anyway, I'm a sucker who goes through iPhone envy every now and then. I've actually tried most of the ones mentioned above, spending WAY too much money for the one using wisbar. To be honest, my favorite was iFonz, which, oddly enough, doesn't cost a dime.

I agree. I started using it a few days ago and it's great so far. I'm like most people who likes a 1 stop shop.....
*Edit*
I can't believe this is my first post!?!?!
ifonz is the best and its free. Try is first before you buy anything else. i promise you will like it. also the new update is available.

I tried a lot of iphone lookalike tools, but ifonz is far away from beeing the best!
Maybe its the best for you...
Best iClone
So far, Torx's theme has been the best for me. It allowed me the iPhone look, but WAD/WA3 allowed me to customize it even more to suit my preferences.
That's just my 2 cents, which may not even be worth that.

(req) Player - Girlfriend App

I was just wondering is it would be cool to make some kind off application to automatically silence several contact and incoming sms. I know there are some apps that work like this but i would be cool to act like this:
lets say: 4 girlfriends
amy - anna - annely - amber
When you at amy house select in the app your at Amy.
So automatically Anna - Annely - Amber is being locked or silenced.
All sms and contact are temporally removed. When you are going over at Anna the rest are being locked and silenced.
Would be cool to have a nice UI whit pictures.
Sound stupid but could be handy
Wow... that would be cool.
Sounds more like "I'm cheating and I don't want the one girl to know about the other" personally, I don't think that's the type of app we should be developing here...
You might be able to use callfirewall to do what you want! dont get caught though!!
This is not a thread to discuss whether you should cheat or not
every call firewall have profiles, you need that many profiles as much as your girlfriends are every profile will have blocking for a cetrain numbers you wish, yes it is simple - but you have to change the profiles manually

Nope, my love life is great, not that it matters to you... I just think that guys who cheat make the rest of us look bad and make girls suspicious of even the loyal guys... In short cheating and sneaking around makes it tough for those of us who are actually honest...
i know magicall works for that too
Sorry, no app is going to get you 4 girlfriends.
Don't think the OP was asking for four GFs. But i agree that this request does raise questions about male honesty.
hahaha its an idea that could be used in more constructive ways.
Like say you give your phone to one of those annoying people that just HAVE to see it. You can just change a quick setting and hide select things like say a couple folders (maybe ur pics folder) and texts for some of your contacts (like say your girlfriend). I mean honestly, who wants someone reading you and ur gf's texts? and then looking at all of ur pics? that way the only thing you have to worry about is them dropping ur baby. lol
EDIT: notice i said "girlfriend"....singular. lol
only 4??????
man, i wish i had this a few years ago, might have saved the first wife from seeing texts from the other gurls......... anyway i digress... yes the aps above do work ok, sometimes...., but if your life (wife) depended on it, i wouldnt.....
Provided you are not in a committed relationship with any of these women, I would suggest being more upfront about the fact that you see other women. A lot of women are surprisingly comfortable with this.
Damn, wish I needed an app like this...
Ok let’s close this thread. I think this app will never come to life. I should probably put more time learning programming so I could make it my self. But then again if I could do it my self with ease I think I would never ever needed it
Strange how one thread elsewhere makes you think of something totally unrelated on xda-developers.

Is there a surf report app?

There's a really great magicseaweed surf app for the iPhone. I was wondering if there was anything similar for the HD2 rather than just having to log onto the internet or bookmark a particular site.
Thanks
Rik
yeah a surf report app would be cool. but the one on the i-phone is on the i-phone and hence it sucks. plus how dare you speak of such rubbish phones on this forum. YAK..
yeah so anyone know of one
haha, yeah sorry I mentioned that other phone thingy.
You don't even surf spzero. lol.
This is like a total neccessity for me! Maybe we could design a snowboarding app...that would benefit both of us mate.
yeah but theres always nice snow at xscape & chill factor dude it would seam a bit pointless, lol tho we can go out for free now i might come over next week with my landrover and go drive us up some mountain for some sweet fresh powder.

But that's what the iPhone app is... pretty much anyways.
I thought it was a marvellous marketing swizz by Apple to rebrand internet shortcuts as "Apps"... sheez!
But that's by the by, the old Magicseaweed "app" (ahem) works fine for fashionably challenged phones too.
http://iphone.magicseaweed.com/#_home
If you want to avoid stepping thru' the location menu (Europe/UK&Ireland/England/etc) each time you browse, here's a tip.
To get a direct link to your surfspot,
Visit, http://iphone.magicseaweed.com/#_home
Drill down thru' the links to your spot
Look at the URL and make a note of your spot number (at the end of the URL)
In the URL replace the #_spot bit with forecast.php?id= instead
Save a bookmark for it
For example,
For the Bude report, the menu will take you to http://iphone.magicseaweed.com/#_spot6, change that to http://iphone.magicseaweed.com/forecast.php?id=6 and bookmark it.
HTH
Personally tho' I still prefer looking at the full webpage
(that's why I've got a 800x480 screen for, ain't it??)
Hey, thanks man. I must have been having a totally brain dead day that day when I actually did look at the link on the magic seaweed site. It is just a URL, not an app. I'm a total idiot.
So yeah I have saved my spot as a favourite that I can access straight from the HTC sense menu...one click and I am there. Perfect, now I can check on the fly. I seem to recall looking up the magicseaweed site on my phone and it not particularly behaving for me, that's why I made a thread asking for an app. This works fine.
Thanks mate. Now all I need is for my broken elbow to get better, then I can hit the waves. lol

App Request

Learned HD2 users and general clever bods. I love this forum and the stuff some of you clever people do, had my HD2 for a few months now and got it tweaked with all sorts from this site. The one complaint is always about the apps/app store/marketplace and I notice there are a few people working on a better solution than Windows own one and I cannot wait until this is up and running as anything would be better than that disaster.
I would really love if some can convert/create an Iphone app I was playing on a friends iphone the other day, its the Air Traffic Controller game http://www.iphonefootprint.com/2009...the-iphone-with-flight-control-from-firemint/
Any help would be great and I would happily "donate".
Cheers
Chris

[Request] Australian Developers

After speaking to a few university friends (none that know how to develop software for windows mobile). We were all interested in an application similar to the UK Rail Departures app, but for the Cityrail network in Sydney. I was curious whether there is a current application for this rail network.
I understand it may be difficult, but I'm willing to make a donation towards a developed application.
cityFAIL
yeah.... i can use an app like that
it'll be handy. instead of using 131500.info
"Sydney Transit" Tm
There is an iPhone (gag) app already developed.
While not port-able it would serve as an excellent template.
Just a thought??!!
Davej
wow... i never thought someone would suggest that!
I'd definitely find great use out of something like that too!
Although, since when do sydney's trains run according to their timetable?
+1 here. That would be very handy!
