From the Forums: More Notification Center talk, Temple Run 2 and random adverts

As nosotros set to hitting Fri and head into the weekend, we'll have a quick gander at what's been happening on the community forum here at Windows Telephone Central. Should you not be familiar with our community, you're missing out on some top discussions with thousands of other Windows Phone fans. It's a place for all to mingle and communicate inside topics related to the platform and across. So, what'due south been hot on the thread list?

Kick us off is a thread dedicated to the potential Notification Centre that Microsoft is believed to have in the works. Forum fellow memberJosephHaubrich93 has provided an example of how the company tin can enable consumers to customise the organisation to suit their needs and requirements. Offering upwardly four options:

"The first will be to enable all apps to display their notifications in the Notification Center. The second option will be to enable all apps that are not pinned to the start screen to display notifications in the Notification Center.

The tertiary option will enable the user to cull which apps he or she wants displayed in the Notification Center by presenting a list of all installed apps, from built in apps like messaging and email to third party ones like twitter and draw something, where the user tin can individually select which ones they want displayed in the Notification Center. And the 4th and final option will exist to completely 'disable' the Notification Center. Merely similar kids corner, if it is disabled, it will non display at all so swiping from the left will do nothing merely like our phones do at present. "

It'south certainly a possibility, just what would you like to run across Microsoft implement? Are y'all in need of such a characteristic to manage notifications, or a Live Tiles and toast notifications more than plenty? Be certain to add your thoughts in the "How to Accost the Notification Center, on Windows Phone, Debate!" thread.

Jogging through the Temple

There's no denying that Temple Run is extremely popular (even my old man has got into the gameplay), simply it's not available on Windows Phone only yet, which is causing some business for those who accept read news that Temple Run 2 is heading to iOS and Android. While it's valid for anyone to mutter that their favourite app isn't on the platform, how does i go about fixing this? Here'south the trailer if y'all're interested:

It's noted in the thread that Temple Run is built on Unity, which has pledged back up for Windows Phone - so is this the gateway the developers could use for an piece of cake Windows Phone port? Near definitely. Why wouldn't they launch it on the platform if it takes piffling effort to port the championship over?ImAdrian23 has fabricated a valid point though. Microsoft should exist on top of things similar this.

The visitor used a superb strategy for the Xbox to push button information technology hard into mainstream video gaming. Microsoft made information technology popular. This is where it's losing it for Windows Phone, both for apps and as well gaming, which we've continuously highlighted. Could the visitor non just pump money into a puddle where developers' efforts are invested? It'southward certainly worth questioning them on the topic, just where is the funding for such strategies?
