Windows Phone Homebrew app roundup

Lots of little things have been happening if yous have a developer unlocked device, preferably with the new interop level needed to side-load some more accelerate apps.

Showtime off, over at Windows Phone Hacker they've detailed a more than simple method for getting Internet Sharing onto your Samsung Mango phone (Omnia 7, Focus). Once you accept your developer unlocked device also interop-unlocked, it only takes 2 files and a reboot to get the much-coveted feature on to your phone. As y'all can encounter from the pic below, we manged to practice it for our AT&T Focus and it works similar a charm (seriously, information technology's a nice tethering solution).

Next up are some HTC apps. Yeah, so long equally HTC tirelessly works on specialized apps, those mischievous fellas over at XDA will exist trying to port them. This time, they've managed to grab the Omega/Radars's OEM files, which includes that new HTC Hub. We loaded it onto our Focus and it works quite well. In addition, you can even add the Dock Fashion app, which nosotros're big fans of, for a more complete device. Stay clear though of Circumspect Telephone, the sound enhancer and camera apps equally they won't exercise anything for your non-HTC phone.

Finally, there's a unique app from GoodDayToDie at XDA called MultiTaskToggle:

"Threw together something fun for y'all: a one-click (don't sue me, Bezos) app for enabling or disabling multitasking on Mango. Fast app switching + full multitasking = awesome! Disabling multitasking when you demand to save battery = convenient!"

"Features: Secondary tile with deep linking! Shows current multitask land and toggles information technology when tapped. Supports HTC, LG, Samsung phones [NEW]. Works on Mango! Uses no homebrew DLLs."

Basically the app allows you to set multitasking on/off with one tap on a Alive Tile. Here's we're talking about the total-fledged, instant-resuming multi-tasking. It sucks upwards more battery life, but it as well faster and allows things to run in the groundwork. Being able to turn it on/of with a simple touch, therefore, is a much welcomed add-on for the ability users out there. Y'all can find that thread correct here.
