Is there a surf report app? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

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

(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.

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

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

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.

I guess you found this forum by searching on net. So you could use same method on the forums too. Just a simple search would give you excellent results.
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-2900107662879704:fs7umqefhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=apps+for+hd2
Don't take it personally.
Was recommended this forum from a friend off BBS air guns he said it was a great forum where the people are very helpful and this is the place to fined all I need for my phone.
I have had a look through but it all seems gobblygook to me I just know I will end up doing something to my phone of shouldn't
Get registered at freeware pocket pc then download oMarket on your phone. It is a free app marketplace similar to WM marketplace. Also, go to hd2apps blog. Tons of apps and games (all free), best site imo. If you like to know people's recommended apps, go to TMobile HD2 forum, there are several threads there dedicated for that, just do a search. That is where newbies should go first before dabbling into XDA as in my opinion this forum is more for relatively advanced users...for tweaking and customization, a little less on apps and games.
Cheers for that
Welcome to the HD2 world here on XDA.
I totally understand how everything can be/is confusing at first. Having the phone for a day or so and not knowing what is out there to do even a general search. Reading the posts here will give you a general knowledge of the cab files that will enhance and customize your new phone to your liking. It really isnt that hard once you start playing around a bit.
Might I suggest bookmarking this forum, and keeping an eye on it. Lots of stuff here to do to your phone. Also read though all the posts in the "post your leo today screens" thread. tons of stuff there, and everyone shares what they have.
Please do remember the search feature is your friend. New threads with the same old questions that have been posted and answered 50 times will most likely only get you a few pointed responses.
Hope you enjoy your new HD2 phone and your time here.

Friend off an Airgun forum??
Bet he's got some really silly username trying to make himself sound like some crack shot hero too hasn't he? Sad. Very sad.
Don't worry mate, they're not all that unfriendly on here, as the other two posters have proved.
This place can be a bit daunting, just read lots for a few days and it'll start becoming clear, drop me an email or PM on here if you get stuck.
What sort of stuff are you looking for?
Finding my way round got some top apps already my phone is starting to become mine now

Hey livebaituk,
Have you formatted the card before using it? Try that first....
Otherwise, did you buy it from eBay?? I had the same problem with the one I got from there, did a quick test on it and it turned out to be fake!
Use the program below to test the memory card and see if that's the problem....
(you will need to have a microSD convertor to use direct with your computer, either to usb or to SD if you have a SD card reader).
That's all I can think of, hope that helps,

So...who got a Chrome Book?

I and some friends registered Tuesday but nothing came in today. Just curious if anyone here got one.
I am so surprised and happy that I got picked by Google to test out there new Chrome laptop. I came home and found it on my front door wating for me from UPS overnight air! Hope I get to keep it after the program is done!

I really don't know about that cause it didn't come with any paper work about it or the program and the email didn't say anything like that.

Nope, its optional if you want them to collect data or no. good luck to you
i've signed up lets see if any luck here
I registered for one. We will see whether I will get it. It will be complementing my Galaxy Tab now.
I want one too. For anyone who cares, I have found this forum on slickdeals.net, it's pretty interesting, 137 pages so far...
And also a Google CR-48 Tracker to see if there is one coming to a town near you...
I just checked that tracker with my zip code. Two were heading to my town but both were already delivered
I signed up on Thursday so I guess I missed out on the first wave.
Maybe third time's the charm?

Let's hope. I have seriously applied so many times. At max, five separate times under my own name, once under my alias name, and my mother. Let's hope the tracker reflects something tomorrow for my area.
And I know this netbook may be cheap and the specs may suck, but look, I want one of these just to feel like I actually won something (that isn't the lottery) for once. I feel like I deserve it, truly. I could provide decent feedback, and maybe contribute a great way to their developing OS. Plus, I love Google. I love Android, I own a Nexus One, soon to own a Nexus S, and I think that this book would be a nice addition to my Google collection, not to mention, I bet there will be awesome ways to connect between your Android device and the book... I apologize for the rant.

I get what you mean. I NEVER win any contests or anything. I really hope I get this though, and the fact that two people in my zip code got one overnight is pretty reassuring!
I would love to own a Chromebook as I don't have a laptop/netbook/any kind of advanced portable device like a smartphone. It would be really great to have a laptop for classes (I'm in college) but I can't afford it right now so Google could really make my Christmas! Plus I never wanted a full-on slow, annoying Win 7 netbook anyway--it just didn't seem ideal. My ideal portable device is pretty much exactly what the Cr-48 is!
I have high hopes, but I know there's a pretty good chance I won't get it.

Dont want to start a Thread on you know what..
and dont even want to mention it..
As it will come when it comes..
but here is something pretty cool, that I am sure is going to kick it along a bit..
http://pandaboard.org/
Not sure if it has anything to do with Blade as I was reading in his thread he was spending some time in a Pandaboard..so I did a google search and came up with this.
Anyway check out the 2nd youtube video.. now thats cool..
I can see some home entertainment systems getting built with this thing..
I am wondering how long it will be before we move away from windows all together, as with the support from the hardware manufactures it is really as they say becoming "A train full of steam"

huh............??
That's a very cool little bit of kit. I'd certainly build my HTPC around Android - it's much better suited to an air mouse than virtually any Windows app.
Oh, don't mention the war.
I think something like a dual mother board in one case would be cool..
The could have best of both worlds for a media center..
