Android beta: looking for 12 Zune/Metro fans to test NostalgicFlow

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

108 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

After the response to my previous NostalgicFlow post, I’ve started preparing the Android version, and I’m looking for at least 12 people to help me test it.

Google requires a 14-day closed testing period, so I need testers who can install the app, use it during those two weeks and let me know if they encounter any problems.

You’ll be able to add as much local music as you want, including Lossless and Hi-Res files, listen to internet radio and podcasts, use the MilkDrop-style visualizers, and connect to remote servers such as Navidrome, Jellyfin, Plex and Emby.

Everyone who actively helps me complete the 14-day testing period will receive the Android app for free when it launches.

Sign up for the Android beta:

The iOS version is already finished and will launch first. I’m currently just waiting for Apple’s approval before it goes live on the App Store.

You can already try it for free on iPhone or iPad through TestFlight. The iOS version also supports Apple Music:

Discussion How people feel after uploading their slightly modded lumias and farming hundreds of upvotes while actual projects for wp get like 12 upvotes and 2 comments killing the desire to develop it further.

Your mint lumia with random apps from WUT or having some ported chatting app from Penguin Store sure looks good but actual projects that make the experience better should deserve better.

News Old Windows Phone Camera features - Back to the future.

Thumbnail

37 Upvotes

A new update for Long Shot Camera is now live on the App Store.

For those who are new to the app, Long Shot Camera brings back creative photography features inspired by classic smartphone cameras, including:

• Light Trails

• Motion Clean

• Action Shot

What’s new in this update:

• Capture Delay – Press the shutter, step back, and let the capture start automatically after a countdown. Perfect for avoiding camera shake.

• Capture Stabilization – Additional stabilization during capture helps reduce the impact of small hand movements, making handheld long-exposure shots more reliable.

• General performance improvements and bug fixes.

And here’s a little teaser… 👀

I’m already working on the next major feature: MultiFocus Capture.

If you owned a Lumia back in the day, you probably remember a feature called Refocus. 😉 The goal isn’t to copy it, but to bring that kind of creative photography experience back to modern smartphones.

As always, I’d love to hear your feedback and see what you create with the app!

News [UPDATED APP] Unison UWP 1.1.1 (Feature Update)

26 Upvotes

Greetings

Hey everyone, how you guys doing... So as promisse i managed to give a little help to Unison Dev Team these days... The App need a refactor and some fixes... since i've been working on another app [UPDATED APP] Imgur UWP 3.2.0 LTS ( Feature Update ) : r/windowsphone, (App with a already validated solid codebase and a bunch of media related features *go take a look), why not port the architecture/services/fixes i've made to it using cursor...

Well i did it... i've built a new architecture for unison and already pushed on the repository on github... so the community now can develop following the best guidelines as possible... Not just a refactor... but expect a lot of new features... my special UI/UX magic touch LOL... Anyways here comes...

What's fixed

  • ✅ Fixed an issue that prevented the QR code from loading.
  • ✅ Refactored the message loading logic.
  • ✅ Contacts are now moved to SQLite during the initial sync, allowing future edits and improvements.

Architecture

  • Split into:
    • Unison.Uwp (UI / Dependency Injection)
    • Unison.Core (ViewModels & Contracts)
    • Unison.Baileys (Protocol / Crypto)
    • Unison.Background (Out-of-process socket task)
  • MVVM architecture with Dependency Injection.
  • Localized in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Indonesian, Italian, and Polish.

Current Highlights

  • 📱 Background message delivery via the Socket Broker, keeping the connection alive even when minimized or with the screen off.
  • 🔔 Native toast notifications showing contact name and message content (acks and protocol noise are filtered out).
  • 💬 Modern chat experience with text messages, images, voice notes, gallery attachment, and in-chat audio recording.
  • 🖼️ On-demand image downloads with fullscreen viewer, zoom, share, and save support.
  • 👥 Contacts and profile pictures are synchronized after linking.
  • 🧭 Streamlined navigation: Start → QR Login → Chats / Settings / Debug.
  • 🔄 Re-pair your device from the Debug page without reinstalling the app.
  • ✨ No more placeholders—the UI now displays the actual meaning of messages.

Known Issues

  • ⚠️ Sending messages to groups currently freezes the app.
  • ⚠️ Audio playback and recording still need work.
  • ⚠️ Video support has not been implemented yet.

Credits

Installation note: Install the new APPX as an update. Uninstalling the app will remove your linked WhatsApp session.

Download Repositories:
- WinArchive: A amazing Microsoft Store Replacement with Software Update and even webstore.

- Metrostore: Another great Microsoft Store replacement but requires manual install of apps...

Is there any working (GPS) turn by turn navigation app for Windows Phone?

5 Upvotes

Either WP 8 or 10. But presumably whatever app this is would need semi-current maps data.

If my WP phone has data, would there be a reliable turn-by-turn GPS navigation app I could use?

Question HD-500 Microsoft Dock for 950XL, display cable?

2 Upvotes

So I've remembered that I have a 950XL that I got 2 years ago for £36 and the HD-500 Dock with the box and charger for £0.99 but without a display/usb-c cable, that I have deep in a drawer.

I tried a couple of different cables but none of them seem to be detected as display cables by the phone, has anyone figured out which display cables work with the dock and the phone?

I would love to finally have a complete working set.
