Twitter has the reason for delay.
Why did MS change the APIs?
To help merge the WP and RT?
damn it, I Wonder if it will be released one day, it's been ages since it has been announced ...

It's first birthday is soon. I think they went on holiday with the 75k for about six months before they even started.
I think that this refers to store apps being forced to use the WinRT API instead of the Win32 API and the VLC team simply showing disdain for this change.

This is only if the VLC team wants VLC to be downloadable through the Windows Store. If VLC is a desktop application, they don't need to change anything.

HA. That will never happen. All RT apps must be obtained through the Store. This way Microsoft can ensure its crippled it complies with their APIs and is at an unfair disadvantage in comparison to the native XBOX video application.

Did VLC announce the reason why the app was rejected on the most recent submission?
The first time it crashed. What was the reason for the 2nd time?
I guess it won't ever be released now ...

I think its better that they follow forum rules and actually search for a forum with the topic that they want to discuss (which this is) and post there (which they did) instead of opening a new thread to say just about the same thing. We all just want to discuss the progress of the VLC app for RT which has been in development forever now. (I donated so I think I have the right to be able to say that lol)

Where did you read that?
From their New year resolution comments on twitter it implied it was coming in 2014
I hope they release a formal status update soon.
Were the rejected a second time from thevapp store? Why?
I heard first time was from a crash.
Not sure why the devs have such a hard time updating the people who funded their project. Backers are generally pissed off on Kickstarter.

Unless I'm off my rocker, Silverlight is Microsoft's answer to Adobe Flash. It's a "web experience" application, and they've announced that they'll be releasing a mobile version so that developers can create websites and apps using Silverlight for mobile users too (it's already been out for desktop systems for a while). Presumably this mobile version will come with the official 6.1 release.
How you all got it confused with MS Update, I have no idea. I guess they might DISTRIBUTE Silverlight through MS Update, but it's not MS Update itself. They may even design parts of MS Update website using Silverlight in the future, but I certainly doubt it, as Vista's MS Update is built into the OS and doesn't even use the MS Update website.

Well... Someone gave me the Key for this one. But I have my own key from my own CD of Windows 98. But the key of this one I think is from the internet, but anyways this ver. Of Windows is outdated, so I can use it without any purpose of sell or anything so is all ok.
Just wanted to say, this popped up on Portal and absolutely made my day. I'll now fix the screen on my Pre Plus just to play with this! You are a champion Travis and people like you make this forum awesome.
As a token of my gratitude, I can provide you with a genuine (legal; legitimate) Retail key for Windows 98SE or ME if you need them.
Thanks again for making my day Champ!
Awesome work. Looking forward to Win98 as I have a key from years ago. I'm looking forward to you bringing this to the Pre minus. And here I thought I would have no use for my old pre besides a wifi device!

I've searched this and many results did come up, but they were pretty old posts. As of today is there any official WM7 MSN/Live Messenger yet? Or can anyone recommend me a decent one? Please don't recommend me IM+ or Miyowa as they are both pretty bad for my taste or they don't work as intended (either laggy or a bad layout, or not easy to use)
Many thanks!

Did you really think that Microsoft will not spam and force its live messenger on is? I won't be surprised if they reserve one whole live tile in front for its hotmail and messenger on front screen which you can't remove .. Just like its useless bing search button which is nothing more than a shortcut to bing search webpage after the upcoming mango update. A whole one big ass dedicated key just a short cut to a webpage.

You do realize that live messenger is the largest chat service in the world right? Also its paired with facebook chat which is the third. So no, Microsoft isnt forcing anything on you, they're just using whats already the most popular.

No, they are not. Open IE, go to www.google.com, search for what you want with google. There's even registry hacks to change the default IE search to Google. BTW, WP7 is a MS product so it will have MS products integrated just like Android has Googles stuff & iPhone has Apple's stuff. End of story, just like I told FiyaFleye in your thread to be civil, so should you. This thread has nothing to do with search anyway so you are off topic & violating XDA ToS. Stay on topic & be civil.

It is not because it is not compatible hardware-wise -- I have it running on my 700, and while there's some lag on starting the game, it runs beautifully once in-game.
The only 100% legal option you have is pay for it and subsequently download it while on a supported device, rip the apk out with, for example, Total Commander or Titanium Backup, and transplant it to your 700.
Humbug.
Thanks though

That's like complaining a Windows game doesn't work on a Mac. You're asking for a game on a totally different operating system. Every scrap of logical reasoning could've told you that it might not work beforehand.

The main reason is that you, OP, actually phrased it like you were upset that your favorite game from another OS was not available on the 700, not that it was available for Android in general, but not for the 700 in particular. :silly:

Your thread started out regarding PvZ specifically (it's even in the title!). You can't take a crap down somebody's back because you phrase things clumsily. My advice (which I myself mostly follow): take your time posting something, and think over your phrasing. I try not go get personal, although I admit I'm only human and therefore can take only so much before I explode.
A correre e cagare ci si immerda i garretti. Freely translated: running and taking a crap at the same time will foul your heels. Ancient Italian (probably of Sumerian origins), but very applicable to many of life's situations, like forum posting, sex, cooking, chemistry (which is my educational background) and military operations (of which I have had a taste as well). I should have this tattooed somewhere. (That would be a first, by the way.)

Can it work?
If everybody is done criticizing each other over how they've worded their posts, can we get back to the topic?
Is there a way to make this game work on a 1920x1080 Android device? There are more and more of them coming out...such as the S4 and HTC One. There must be a way to scale the display...?

Well, if you'd read my first post (or took in the message instead of only feeling the 'tone'), you'd know the answer: yes, we have. It works beautifully, and has done so for almost a year on my tab. Thank you for reviving this old, decomposing thread.
There was an android humble bundle a while back that had plants vs zombies as part of the bundle. It runs well, scales nicely, and as previously mentioned it lags a little during cut scenes.
