Help with my new evo4g !!!! - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I recently changed my HD2 for an Evo....Mix feelings!!!!
I noticed that on my Hd2 I could send,change and even create Word documents..
I can not find a way to do this on my new Evo4G..Any help?????

the hd2 is windows mobile based thus providing users with the mobile version of microsoft office.....the evo is an android device that is still capable of viewing, creating and editing documents......buuuuut u have to purchase the office app from the market.....or i may know a way to get a free version if you can find a way to contact me.....

Documents To Go is a great Office app.

The EVO comes pre-loaded with QuickOffice, which I believe allows you to see/edit word files.

Most apps can be developed using Mircosoft Visual Studio. You can download free versions here (http://www.microsoft.com/express/). Although they might not support mobile development I can't remember it's been so long since.
As for books, I am prety much self taugh other than the odd C# book to get me going.

Having just checked out how to start WM6 programming yesterday, the requirement is Visual Studio 2005 or later (professional for touch devices I think). Express wont work.

Looking for freeware app:Grandasoft Xdesigner

Hi folks.
Not been on here for a while but I got a new XDA (Touch Diamond) and I'm looking for a freeware app that used to be around for producing forms. I figured the vga screen would make it a less laborious task than last time I tried it.
The software is called (I think) X Designer or X Forms by Grandasoft. The Grandasoft website is gone so I guess they aren't around anymore but I was hoping someone would have a saved copy I could snag. Not asking for illegal software here as I said it was free anyway.
Failing that, could anyone suggest a similar software I could possibly use. I want to be able to tailor and produce a daily report sheet from a template and then send it back to my office by FTP or email.
Cheers!
Pete.

Google is your friend.
Cheers buddy, but I had already got those and they don't work. You need a key (which is free) but I can't get one because their website doesn't exist
Key for xs designer

I use google voice. I use last.fm to scrobble. And pandora.
None of this are on windows mobile marketplace.

Okay... look here for all the apps we use on our hd2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603880
On Windows Mobile.. you can look for apps outside of the "marketplace".. you download them as a .cab file (on pc or phone) and place them on the sd card if you want... which out the box is unique to windows mobile (doesn't eat up phone memory (but not that we lack it on the new hd2 lol))
Once the .cab file is on your phone/sd card... in the phone you go to file explorer (in the start menu)... click on it and navigate to where you placed the .cab file and run it. You can save the installation to the "device" because there is plenty of memory and tends to run better.
To awnser your questions;
[1] Google voice idk, but im sure google will have a wm app out soon (if not already, im not 'in' google voice so dunno)
[2] Last.fm Googling around a bit i see they (or someone) released a windows mobile app in 2008, but all links to it trow a 404, so check out their mobile forums, specifically this sticky
[3] Pandora, just read this; http://www.pandora.com/on-windowsmobile (Point your mobile phone's browser to www.pandora.com)
[4] Incomplete emails Thats just a setting since most people use gprs/hsdpa, im sure you can change it, either somewhere in the settings or trough a registry edit
Though i just have to say/write this, DONT GET ME WRONG but honestly, you shouldn't try to make this like your iPhone, although Microsoft/HTC are clearly trying to 'collect' some iPhone users, overall the HD2 isn't user friendly enough to be a iPhone (yes i sayd it) That doesn't mean you shouldn't stick with the HD2 though, just forget the iPhone
To put some strength behind my 'user friendly' statement, if your ROM is from before 1.66, the HD2 will have quite some silly bugs, like SMS messages that get stuck in the outbox but only (if your lucky) send 3 weeks later, problems with the camera, not beeing able to read/write large miniSD cards & more.
On the other hand, if your in any way IT related or just in general good with computers, this is currently the best phone on the market (counting HD2 and HD2b as one) it does the latest wireless connection methods, has build-in gps, compass and g-sensor, a 1ghz gpu, a 'gpu' (kinda) and more geeky features, and hey, it can emulate most psx games at full speed (www.fpsece.net)
I'd just strongly suggest you to get a new ROM from the HTC site, assuming you have a device with pre 1.66
I hope the above helped a bit, not trying to make windows mobile even more confusing for you, just trying to tell you that it cant really be compared to iPhone/Android, it can be compared to windows, there are actually millions of apps, nobody ever felt the need for a windows marketplace until iPhone got one and Microsoft had to compete, at which they currently fail hard i agree, the windows marketplace thing is a joke, just use google.

[APP]Skype 3.0

I have been searching for ages but unable to find skype for my HTC HD2... well my troubles came to an end last night! some time after midnight.
I am sure this may have been posted here before but i couldnt find it, possibly because i suck at searching, but anywhos, for anybody who cannot find skype for their HTC HD2 or for that matter any WinMo Handset here it is.
Source: CNET
Download It From Here
Extracted from donwloaded exe file
SkypeSP.cab
SkypePPC.cab
i have the PPC version installed on my HTC and the only issue is on the create account screen, and you will need to download a patch that fixes the sound coming out of the wrong speaker
i think this is the correct one i am at work atm and havent had a chance to test it can somebody confirm this is the right patch?

Peace 'n' Love

Why can’t I download Skype Lite or Skype for Windows® phones?
Unfortunately, Skype Lite – a version of Skype for your mobile phone – and Skype for Windows phones are no longer available for download from our site.
We’ve chosen to withdraw Skype Lite and Skype for Windows phones because we want to offer our new customers an improved mobile experience – much like the version that has proved so popular on the iPhone, and which is now available on Symbian phones. Our focus is on providing a rich user experience that allows you to enjoy free Skype-to-Skype and low cost calls as easily on the move as you do at your desktop.
We felt that Skype Lite and Skype for Windows phones were not offering the best possible Skype experience.

What is skype. I've heard about it for these past 2 years but never bother to check it out.
I just went to the official website and the only thing I got from it was People paying for a skype credit to use skype services such as "free calling" and not using mobile minutes.
Can someone tell me what use do you use skype on their HD2 for? It seems like its great but I am not convinced enough to try it out.
I can upload to u a skype cab. but I suggest to use fring, since it allows to speak with earclip. voice experience provided by skype.cab is very bizzarre...the only loadspeaker will work!
I have Skype 3.0 for Windows Mobile which must be executed from your PC and an Active Sync connection and I have it installed on my Rhodium and it works great via Wi-Fi and wherever I have 3G. As just mentioned there is a CAB version available as well. I don't get this decision to make it unavailable to Windows Mobile users given that Verizon Wireless has Windows Mobile devices in their stable and if you get your hands on 3.0 for WM devices why no love for these devices?

What a shame... they cant develop good interface for winmo and they blame it easily on the OS itself
There is nothing the HD2 cant do what an iPhone does but there are a million things the HD2 can do but the iPhone can not

The Second link i quoted in my original post, has an app that you run as well as Skype that reroutes sound to the earpeice, or louspeaker.

[Q] Conversion of iOS app to WP7..

Hi lads,
There is an app called AFL Supercoach on the iOS app store. I want that app on WP7 but have absolutely no hope that it is in development. I was wondering whether it would be possible to convert it using the tool MS had released. The tool with all the indexed codes and stuff..
Would it be possible? In a WP7 layout (Zune like)? And how hard would it be?
I'm not an experienced developer..
cheers guys, Abz

Its too early for me to dig up a link but if you go to MSDeveloper pages, there is a link for porting apps from iOS to WP and Android to WP. I am not an experienced developer either but love tinkering stuff from days of WM and android. I am currently porting 2 Android apps to WP. Takes time initially but isn't that difficult. Give it a shot. If you fail to find a link, holla me, when I've opened my eyes I will search it and paste it here. Hope this will help. Happy developing for WP!
Hey dude,
Got the link and also the app that I'm working on. But how do I know which file from inside the iOS app corresponds to which file within the WP7 app? They have different names....
And for the corresponding APIs and codes, do I have to use the online"directory" on the MSDeveloper or is there an alternative program available?
Cheers, Abz
