Are there some coders with some time here ?
We can see that the mail apps on Android are not so good.
Is there one coder who can take a look to port "npop" a well known mail (pop) app on Windows Mobile ?
I have the sources available.
Thanks !
Unless the sources are in Java (which im sure windows mobile is programmed in some C derivative) then it'll be hard to just port it over. a vast majority of the code will have to be rewritten and it'd hardly be the same app. What are you looking for in a mail app specifically? Perhaps someone can write one with those features. Unfortunately I have very little experience in coding (I can do non-GUI stuff in Python, Ruby + C#) But I could have a go, some of it is probably very simple and i'm a master at editing already written code to make it better
Yes the main code is available in C and I know that the app have to be rewritten.
Maybe it can help to get some ideas to build a new app really similar.
What's so special in npop that the default G1 mail app lacks?
/Mats
That's what I was trying to get at... if, for example, it has IMAP support, or something the default mail app doesn't have, it'd be better to ask for a program to be written with that purpose in mind... but rewriting a program is a lot harder in many respects, not to mention depending on the liscence, you have to ask the auther for permission etc.
I use the default mail app to connect to my second gmail account via IMAP and it works just fine. There's a forked version of the default app called k9 that improves on the default app a lot. Google "g1 k9 mail"
I second the recommendation for K9, which lives at http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/ and is open source.
Perhaps give that a try and come back with suggestions for anything you don't like about it?
leon_citron is yet using k-9 and he is not happy with it...
Yes, clearly....
Try to read a file included in a mail for exemple, works sometimes, sometimes not...
Other exemple, you can delete mail from the phone, but not from server.
With npop, you can add filters, delete mails from phone or server, or both and many many more things
Android developers,
There is an app for windows mobile that allows users to add any custom city that has a code on www.accuweather.com see link below: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141
I’m assuming that the database used for android is the same SQL Database, any chance a similar app can be developed for Android?
I’m sure it can be done manually using a SQL database editor, but for that the android device would have to be rooted.
better try Weather Widgets
There used yr.no database (huge one), as I tested this app, there were no mistakes in forecasts.

I too would love that someone develop this. My city is not listed in the stock HTC weather widget. However it does exist in the accuweather database. When I was using my Jade (WM) I could add my city using several apps. I've been searching all around in the android forum but so far to no avail. Thanks
Quiet a grave-dig, but searching the forum i didn't find another thread that would answer this question. Did anyone find a solution for HTC weather - how to add city to the database?
Please help, i am very interested for this solution, and just can't believe that Windows users have such functionality and Android doesn't.
An answer and a question:
Answer - The DB is in SQLite format and is stored (on my DINC, at least) in the data\data\htc.provider.weather\files folder as WP_0409WWE.db.
Get a SQLite editor (I got the free SQLiteExpert Personal edition) and edit the locationlist table. You can look at other entries to get the gist of the data entries you need. Just be careful that you get the timezone info and the Accuweather codes (in the "code" colum) correct.
Caveat - You will need a rooted phone and Root Explorer in order to copy the db to your PC and put it back on the phone.
Now for the question - Has anybody else had the clock/weather widget on the home screen get "lost"? The "current" location is usually right on the money. Just noticed a little bit ago that it is now showing Simpson Bay. By the temp and weather, obviously Simpson Bay, St Maarten (don't I wish!)
Everything else, Google, Google Maps, etc, shows my correct location (Charlotte, NC). But the weather widget insists that I am on St Maarten. Wishful thinking I guess...
Same here HTC Desire, a smaller town about 15 miles away, it's really random when it 'lies' but it is quite annoying, also it may be a conspiracy but it seems to mostly do it when I'm trying to show off the awesomeness of the phone to BB and iPhone friends.
This is probably a noob question, but how can you view the coding of an android application? I just had a small test app developed for me and I would like to look at the "guts" of it.
I downloaded the emulator but I haven't been able to figure out how to see my app's code using it. Maybe there is another way that's easier? You know, something akin to the "view page source" tab enabled in many browsers that allows you to see an html page's code?
I tried opening it with TextEdit on my Mac but it says its not readable.
What's an easy way to take a look at/edit the code?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Android-apktool
Android-apktool - A tool for reengineering Android apk files ...
http: / / code.google.com/p/android-apktool
It is a tool for reengineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.
It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms and other GOOD purposes. Just try to be fair with authors of an app, that you use and probably like.

Google "apk manager"
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thank guys, however it says it can't be found - see this screencast I recorded: screencast.com/t/kII8UcBqE1RQ
Any ideas?
I feel like it can't be that complicated, but there is almost no info about in on Google...
I opened time a go a thread where you could get 10 TBytes free and synchronized: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506195
Tencent was behind this service and its eternal rival Qihoo countered with a service that allows you to obtain more than 36 TBytes. Also free and also with synchronized tool.
Leaving aside confidence issues and service continuity, this solution is better than Tencent's one and not only because the increase in disk space.
The synchronization tool is better with more available information about the process.
Qihoo also provides a desktop tool that allows you to access to your cloud disk as it were a USB external hard disk.
Another difference is that when you share a folder, the guest can see the content before download.
Some of the features included:
36 TBytes free
Desktop tool
Synchonization tool with Explorer plugin
Android and iPhone app
Audio/Video streaming (web content)
Recycle Bin (web)
Time machine: File control version (web)
Fast upload/download
Android and iPhone app
And some that needs to be improved
Only available in Chinese.
Desktop and synchronization applications only for Windows.
Probably the first point is the most annoying for people like me that doesn't understand this language.
I've written a full review in my blog: http://imahgin.blogspot.com.es/2014/01/yunpan-disco-en-la-nube-gratis.html
The post is in Spanish and the link redirects you to an automatic translation to English so don't expect a perfect result.
The problem with the language is that I'm not being able to translate the synchronized tool for Windows. Sentences are not in an XML file so it's hard to get it in other language.
As for the Android app, I tried to decompile and compile it again but the apk detects itself it has been modified and doesn't starts up.
Fortunately, @imapk found a breakthrough in a previous build and he managed to translate it to English.
So, these are the steps if you want to get 36 TBytes for free:
Register here: http://yunpan.360.cn/reg.. You'll receive 5 GB
Install the desktop application from here: http://yunpan.360.cn/index/download#windows and sign in into your account. I installed the client for Windows. Not sure if it works if only installs the Synchronization tool. This will give you 10 TBytes
Install the Android app from here: http://yunpan.360.cn/index/download#android and sign in again in your account. You'll receive 26 TBytes.
Attached is the translated apk to English but remember, it's not the last version. All credits goes for @imapk

nice... got new 36TB drive.. Thanks for the info.
After much trouble,I received 36 TB of space. After registration,I got 360 GB. With android client, 26 TB. The main problem was how to download Desktop tool from the Yunpan. Every time connection with their server was extremely slow and at the end cancelled! I search Baidu for backup of the client to download it. To save your time and nerves, here is my mirror:
Code:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/63kx59x12bqh/360wangpan_setup.exe
Enjoy! Yunpan is really better than Tencent as cloud storage service.
I need to use it with a proxy, before i can login, does the windows app let me do that?

Hi, thanks a lot for letting us know about Yunpan. Got 36TB But it'll be AWESOME if anyone can translate it's desktop client to English like weiyun. Thanks :highfive:

The normal windows app does not upload for me anymore?
I still use Tencent instead of this, you can upload with high-speed at Tencent but not YunPan. I don't know why, may be Tencent's server is better ?
And I don't know Chinese, so I will not move to YunPan even it provide a lots of TB. :good:
very good :good:
yunpan 360 v3.7.32250 Partial Translation
i have translated the yunpan 360 for windows, based on version 3.7.3.2250, using Google Translate, and the file "language.ini" i found inside the installation directory,
this translated some of the menu items and submenus.
the translation is not accurate, feel free to change and post your modification.
Also attached small screenshot.
there is a small files inside the installation directory called 'language.ini'
in my case its under "C:\Program Files (x86)\360\360WangPan"
unpack and replace this file with the attached one, it will translate the menu and sub menu in some locations, and can be helpful
note, i modified the original file based on version 3.7.32250 (version can be found when clicking on the menu button on the upper left corner of the application and pressing "A")
hope it will help, 36TB is absolutely nice, and worth the struggle with the Chinese language.
hopefully there will be native English for the entire application bundle from yunpan
Enjoy.

Hello, I went to filefactory and searched for that but it showed nothing. I have installed this on PC and Android but have not a clue
on how or what to do to set things up.......Welcome any advice or walkthrough.........
unable to registered account on 360 website... It requires phone no. but did accepting mine.
Ok, seriously confused. Referencing the 360 desktop application, the log-in screen has three fields, one with a person icon which I assume is the user email address, then two with locks on them. I'm using a 20-character random-generated password (thank you, KeePass), and it doesn't matter if I put it in the top, the bottom, or both, I get red cn characters telling me I did something wrong.
Can someone who can read simplified Chinese tell me what goes in which field? And lord help me, is this like Tennant which while allowing a long password in the web version will only allow 16-characters in the desktop app?
Edit: Ok, got past that to the log-in (apparently main screen is sign-up screen), and logged-in for the additional to 10T. Now trying to log in with Android app, and consistantly get "Operation Failed" (in the English translate, and I assume a similar error with the latest Android app from yunpan). So what am I doing wrong this time? Even changed my password from 20-characters to 15 to see if that would help, but no joy.
Edit (redux): I just can't get my phone to log into the yunpan account, so I downloaded one of the Android emulators (actually the Andy VirtualBox machine), installed the app there, and logged-in easily getting the entire 36T added to the account.
Works perfectly, can someone post an updated english apk? I can put it somewhere more permanent
Hardly sounds sustainable
How can they offer these things? Obviously not every user is going to upload 36TB. If they did, I'm sure about 10 users would fill up their drives
It's a bit like airlines over-selling seats because they expect a few people to no-show!

you probably right, but this also applies to all Cloud Storage solutions, including Copy/Apple/OneDrive/DropBox Etc...
