Craftoid is an OS made to look similar to android.
Made from ChiknNuggets icon browser

pastebin get FgJszA48 craftoidInstaller

At launch you are will see a welcome screen as well as the lock screen, if the password in not " " then you will have to type it in. Then it will bring you to the apps screen.

As with ChiknNuggets original program, you use the mouse wheel or the arrow keys to scroll pages and click on an app to perform the current action on it. App are located in the "/installed/" directory. along with a .ico file with the same name.

On the app screen you can push a few buttons to trigger things.

Pressing d will let you delete apps
Pressing r will let you rename apps
Pressing ~ will bring you to settings.
Pressing anything else will allow you to launch apps aging.

You may also click the associated character on the status bar to preform the same action

The setting screen will let you see and change a few things.
You can view the Device ID, Label, Craftoid version, CraftOS version, and Freespace of the computer and disks,
You can change the background color, lockscreen wallpaper (with paint), and password.

It's actually pretty funny. Almost none of the "OS's" for CC are actually OS's like CraftOS. They are simply graphical shells that run on top of CraftOS – The real OS. They do not use their own Bios, they use CC's Bios. It doesn't really matter, I just thought I would point it out. So with that being said, great graphical shell Left4Cake!

Well, that mostly depends on the laptop, but I will look into this later this week to see if I can improve page scrolling.

Edit: Now you can also use the arrow keys to scroll, and I fixed seeing the available free space, and adventurer as an icon now.

Currently working on improving the app-store. Got some of the ground work finished, and am currently looking for submissions.

They can be on pastebin or anywhere on the net that can downloaded directly in plain text. (like somedomain.com/textfile.txt, or something.)

Also please include an app icon along with it. The icon can be uploaded by either of the aforementioned ways. It should be a nfp formatted file that is 14 width and 7 high. (also the name of the file is irrelevant because the app-store renames it on downloading it)

oh, and include a description of the app as you would want it to be describe on the store.

As for the app it self for organizations sack I would prefer it store any addition files it downloads or generates in appdata/<appsname> but this is not a strict rule by any means.

So, here's how to host you're own app:

http://mydomain.com/appinfo.txt - This will be formatted like this:


name: APP_NAME
ver: APP_VERSION
ico: APPLICATION_ICO_FILE
desc: APP_DESCRIPTION

Are you thinking of someone else app store?

The only text file I asked for was the app itself (already hosted somewhere either as a plain text file or pastebin). Other then that I need the info to add the download location and info to add it my app store.

Well, I was thinking that that would be the info file for the app.
Btw: I wish CC had better graphics. Then mabey I would use all of these shells.

Well, not saying you had a bad idea there, that's just not how I decided to handle it. I just have one file handling the whole list of apps and I will add them in as I app.

…also while better graphics sounds nice on paper, you got to deal with resources and lagging server, and the theme of the mod and blah, blah, (good reasons that have been said before a millions time on this forum, just looked at a lot of the locked suggestions) blah.

Ok. How would you go about updating apps on this store? Have them contact you every time?
Oh wait! You could probley do this:

--Craftoid Details
APP_NAME
APP_VERSION
SERVER_APP_PIC_FILE --Possibly include the hex file here (altho it would have to take up more lines
--Desc --Header for multi-line description
APP_DESCRIPTON
--Code

Alright, Apparently I never actually updated the link to the 1.1 version. Ops, oh and the app store is replaced with the first version of the new one. Right now it mostly as all the apps that can be removed with the delete function, and a few more.

You will have to either use the programs exit function or terminate it.

If some could point me to what I would need to know to implment alt tabbing that would be great.

Are you using a buffer or something to store the program environment, or are the just told to run using shell.run or similar?

That most likely means you are missing one of the image files, or I made some other mistake that makes it try to load an image that doesn't exist I will have to take a look at it soon.

That's unlikely to happen - L4C hasn't logged on to these boards for over a year now. I suggest you don't "test" any OS on a system that already has important files on it.

If you place a disk drive next to your system, you can put a blank startup file on a floppy and boot your computer with that in place. This'll take you to the CraftOS prompt, from where you may attempt to remove the OS files yourself.

The following files are downloaded by the installer, you probably want to delete them

files = { "startup", "craftoid.nfp", "craftoidOS", "dateAPI", "lockscreen.ico", "lockscreen.nfp",
"settingscreen.nfp", "installed/missingicon.ico", "installed/adventure", "installed/adventure.ico",
"installed/appstore", "installed/appstore.ico", "installed/ccTube", "installed/ccTube.ico", "installed/dj",
"installed/dj.ico", "installed/edit", "installed/edit.ico", "installed/firebox", "installed/firebox.ico",
"installed/html", "installed/html.ico", "installed/gps", "installed/gps.ico", "installed/html", "installed/html.ico",
"installed/id", "installed/id.ico", "installed/paint", "installed/paint.ico", "installed/pastebin",
"installed/pastebin.ico", "installed/shell", "installed/shell.ico", "installed/time", "installed/time.ico",
"installed/worm", "installed/worm.ico" }
