I like it, good work. I like it especially it is a 3rd party software so that I can keep my Today screen. BTW, whats the diff of yours compared to the one at the other thread?

Anyway, although getting the aye-Phone interface is good for a start, I think it ought to be able to get some artist to make a better looking interface than aye-Phone.

BTW, as suggestion (for feature), I'm just wondering if you can make your app to respond to the D-Pad (the directional button), like those (say) SonyE phone and then display another graphics to show that the button is being selected.

Design case example:
All icons are black-white. Using your directional button, it goes from one icon to another. The selected icon will have colour (depending on design), and pushing the 'action' button will make it launch the app.

Final thing, whats the difference between yours and the one mentioned at the other thread?

The Difference is that the other one was in 12/24 hour format, it has no exit button, its 1Meg in size, it has some memory leaks that people complained about. Im sure mine has issues as well so please test and let me know.

I can possible make it work on the dialpad with different icons when they have focus. I just wanne make sure it wont eat too much memory and become to slow. Im not good with graphics at all so any suggestions will be appreciated :-)

I was thinking of a config module, for easier? configuration.
interested?

Good Idea, Ill work on that unless you wanna make it? What do you mean by enabled, should it not show or should it be grayed out?

I can try make it(i hope). Kinda newbie at programing, but i think i can make it work.
should i make it a seperate app and just make it change the config files?
think that would be the easiest, maybe.

Yep write a new app if you want and access the config files it would be the easiest. Im also new at programming. What i know i taught myself so thats why its so difficult to do this. This app took my 8 hours to write and im sure someone else could have done it faster and better. Lemme know if you know how to get the Network operator name and Signal strength and battery level out of the registry. I know where they are stored but cant seem to read data from the registry

[Inphyy]

try this one: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4640/2/
dunno what you can make out of it, since im learning VB.NET atm and have no clue about C#

found something from a previous app i made for windows, here is some of the code i used, dunno how it's done in C# but im guessing it wouldnt be very different

Imports Microsoft.Win32

Dim RegKey As RegistryKey
Dim regSubKey As RegistryKey

RegKey = Registry.LocalMachine
regSubKey = RegKey.CreateSubKey("SOFTWARE\Example")
regSubKey.SetValue("ExampleDwordValue", "0")

i think i would have used
regSubKey.GetValue("ExampleValue")
in VB but you should just try to find it.

hope it helps you in some way.

[hanmin]

Lightweight and fast is good. As what you're doing is basically possible with WA + WAD. BTW, as for the settings, you may want to have the (4 x 4) + (1 x 4) icon grid flexible, incase people want to have large icons (less stuff to launch?). An ayeFone alternatives design, take a look here

I was thinking of removing the whole icon if you dont want it

edit: removing as in hiding

[Grumps]

I got the signal strengt working as well as reading the operator name from the registry. The only help i need now is to get the battery level from somewhere withing the registry, ill update the zip files on th first post

[nicolas]

sounds good with the provider and signal info, will test it right now.

the icons: since i just arrived home, i did not have any new icons yet. but for workaround reasons, i attached a zip-file with the original iphone-icons , and a zip-file with the alternative icons. i numbered them in the original-iphone-order and added an additional rss-icon (for the 16. field).

(i was not really shure why you choose these other icons in the release (where are they from?)), but the original icons worked just fine for me. the alternatives also.

a blurry picture with before-and-after (left->your release right-> the original icons) is also attached.

I was just messing around to see if the autosizing will work, the icons you have look good so ill use them. I still need an .ico file for the actual app. Any Ideas? O i attached a screen capture app you can try so you dont have to take funny pics hehe

roger that! and thanks for the screen-capture application.
i'll try to install it via parallels (a mac and a pocket pc is a disastreous combination ;) )
one request: maybe you should use version-numbers by now. its hard to follow which iphone-zip-folder is the "up to date" one.

Tried using SNAPI (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=dc6c00cb-738a-4b97-8910-5cd29ab5f8d9&displaylang=en)?
Trying to remember but I think it was something like SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.PowerBatterySt rength).
Will test/check when I get home

*Edit* If you don't want to download the sn api then I think wm stores all state information in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State (battery strength, display orientation, num missed calls, num new sms's etc) */Edit*

[Glipsie]

Erg, sorry, just noticed the "Visual Studio 2003" part now. SNAPI requires 2005 afaik. Gonna have to grab it from manually from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Status\Battery

ok just tried the latest release. could it be that other file-extensions then *.exe are not recognized?
i.e.: .tr3 or .lnk (i tried to access a tomeraider file and a link to my contacts - but no luck)

furthermore, german pathnames including umlaute ÄÖÜßöäü doesnt work

I am a newbie here so hello everyone. =)
I got only one request. Can someone of you tell me (e-mail maybe?) from time to time about new updates regarding this iPhone's emulation you guys wrote/write? I want to keep people who read my website well informed about the development of this software. I will appreciate if you send me those files. I can host it too.

Thank you

and please tell me what your requirements for the icons you need, are.

what kind of icon for the application and what filetype for the others. *.ico ? which size , transparency ect. ;)

Yeah, being able to execute a .lnk file would be awesome.

If you make the following LNK file you can create a new SMS (which makes that icon different than the Mail icon):

Paste this into Notepad and name it <something>.lnk
20#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""

Then I wanted to assign the action for SMS to this LNK file.

thats a nice trick ;)
it seems that there are thousends of things you can do with the tmail.exe. go to your inbox, auto-compose new mail ect. lnk-feature would be definitly awesome. lets wait for the programmer... is it doable ?

[A_C]

Nice progress. You really do it fast. May I have a request here?
As you may already watched the demo of iPhone, once u tap on an icon, all icons will spread away from the centre of the screen. Would you add this animation? I know you still get a lot on your to-do-list, but please queue this feature at your list.

Thanks,

Hi there,
I was using Slide to lock the handset today (an 8525 that's pretty vanilla) and it seems to error out pretty badly when the phone sits idle for a while (like 5 min). It also seemed to become very unhappy when I got a phone call while it was locked.

I didn't write down the errors, but it was some sort of exception.

Did anyone notice that the time doesn't update in the iPhone screen? My battery indicator seems to be correct in Slide.exe, but not iPhone.

Anyhow, it's just cool to be able to use this as a demo. Good work!

I got my config file to work pretty well... just hoping for LNK support. But I have Live Search instead of Google Maps now, and ADBWeather Plus mapped to Weather, and Excel mapped to the Stocks icon.

TTFN

[eriklb]

I am not much in the programming area (yet) but I can do graphics so if you need help with any part of the graphical interface, let me know

[Grumps]

Oki havent managed to do transparency yet so they should be 42x42 but the app will autosize them if smaller or bigger. The icon for the actual app should be .ico

I manged to get the battery status from the registry but not sure if its the same on all phones please can a few people check their currnet battery level and respond with the following example

Battery Level = 80%
Status = Charging
Registry Value in HKLM\System\State\Battery\Main : 5308418
Not Charging reg key value : 5308416
Phone Make : HTC Tytn

As to the other requests i wrote them down. And will work on it, will update later today with a new version. Please check page one for version updates and questions that are answered before posting duplicate questions. Thanx

[nicolas]

Battery Level = 65-70%
Status = Charging
Registry Value in HKLM\System\State\Battery\Main : 2686978
Not Charging reg key value : 2686976
Phone Make : HTC Artemis

[A_C]

For the battery level, could you try this out...
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms955703.aspx
Then the battery level is stored at .BatteryLifePercent

Cheers,

[christopherwoods]

Ace, I for one would be glad to help out with the beta testing (have a Vario 2) - and it would be pure genius to piss my mac-loving housemate off :D

[Grumps]

Ok I got the battery level sorted out, its live now as well as the signal meter, time and operator name. It checks every 15seconds and updates these controls. I loaded the new version on the first screen 0.92

Hi Grumps,

Nice App. Just wondering as an idea to add sub menus as to add more links or to split them up into catagories. I had a quick play with your app and can get two versions to run with different menus and just use a icon to switch between either version, but this means running two apps not one with different menus.
also any chance of adding an exit button. Keep up the good work!

[ianrulz123]

I just installed Slide v1 031

I keep getting this error:

Ok i didnt write the slide application so cant really help there. Try and leave the whole slide and launcher app complete and just reference it form this application. Its seems like there might be image files missing. Do you have the image files installed??

Thanks! No problem at all... I think it's just cool... I realize you're doing this out of spare time and curiosity, not to make a shipping product. But I will use it for evil trickery on some friends ;)

I figured it out; the problem was that I only installed the most recent update for "slide.exe" I didn't put the button files on my device (duuhhhhh)

Got it all fixed and working, looks great :)

[greggerca]

On the slide.exe thing, Slide 1.31 is only the exe file, you need to get the previous Slide 1.30 RAR, unpack it, and copy it to your device somewhere. It has all the graphics in it.

Then copy the Slide 1.31 slide.exe over the one on your device.

Then open the signal.txt from the iPhone folder and type in the path to the Slide folder you just created. Then it should be executable from tapping the Signal strength icon in the upper left of the screen.

I still get errors, but not the missing M.bmp type thing. PPL seems to throw an exception once in a while after I start slide and let it sit.

It's a nice demo, but not a real locking proggy since once it bombs out, your device is unlocked.

It is open source so im sure someone here can change the setup background. Im not that proficient with linux.

Can some here take a look into slightly modifing the setup background with nice fish for pietrucci????

Only the setup part shows something not very graphic. And the program is very small and useful. I am very into functionality.:)

pietrucci didn't finish his scentence, he ment to say "we need the iPhone look and feel". The Slide lock renders that look and feel. If you're really into functionality, then you'll appreciate the UNIX philosophy of dedicated programs. So, i have the fancy Slider lock for iPhone look and feel, BatteryStatus for locking my device on wake up (with Slider), and InClose for turning off my screen when I play music.

Alright, one more noob question;

I've figured out how to map the various buttons, but I can't seem to get the "Phone" button to work properly. Does anyone know the path for the phone on a Cingular 8125?

I've searched the \Windows\ folders to no avail, but I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Its not a big deal since I just have to push the "Send" button, just trying to make it as smooth as possible :)

[Grumps]

I dont get something, everybody is suppose to test this app but im not getting any feed back??? Did anyone notice that if you run an app like sms from the main screen and return to the IPhone screen does the time/network/battery keep updating or not??

On my tytn it didnt until version 0.93. Please let me know

[greggerca]

I'm still on 0.92 and I've been on a plane for 14 hours. iPhone picks up my carrier in the UK, but the battery indicator is a bit aggressive. The phone says 60% charged and iPhone shows that the battery is almost depleted.

When I run another application (like Slide) and then return, the time does not appear to update (in iPhone 0.92).

Slide (which I know you're not maintaining) has its battery indicator completely missing. There's a rectangle where it should be, but the clownfish background isn't faded and no battery icon is there.

And Slide just crashed again after the time updated. Says:
Proc: GAMEPROC(4,1)
Opcode: Rendersprites
Access violation at 0xf93e4

I didn't see a link to 0.93, but I'm a little tired. I probably missed it. I'll try it out though.

[nicolas]

appoligies for replying so late. i tested all releases recently.
the 0.93 works good overall. no crashes , fast startup. the new indicators are all right in their displayed infos. (time, network, battery) but - you mentioned it - only as long as i didnt start any of the linked programs.
if one prog. was startet and close, i retunr back to the iphone-screen, but the indicator wont update until i restartet the iphone app. my phone infos are posted 4 posts ahead, maybe thats an phone-related issue.

edit: made a mistake, i was talking about 0.92, will test the new release right now.

I just installed 9.3, seems to be working fine.

I did notice that on 9.2 last night my alarm didn't work, and also my phone wasn't ringing through, but a soft reset seems to have fixed that (I'm chalking it up to a WM5 error, as I usually have to reset at least once a day to keep my device functioning properly...)

Also, I've used UITweaker to change my task-bar colors to black, and I've installed a Windows Vista dialer skin to match this theme a little better.

Can you make the button with a pressed image like the original iPhone theme does?

[nicolas]

all time relaeted issues i was expiering are now gone.
with version 0.93 you did an exelent job. even if the phone goes to sleep, or i use some other apps, as soon as i get back to the iphone screen, every indicator is up to date. (provider and signal . working, but that was also ok in v. 0.92)
battery seems to stay at 50% , with no change
thx grumps.

ps: i hope you get a clou with the lnk-issue. any ideas yet?


ah, and folks: here is a freeware app. that should work fine with the weather-icon: http://www.singerscreations.com/AboutWeatherWatcherMobile.asp
i was used to spb-weather, but spb brings only a today-screen plugin, no executable application. havent tested it yep, but it should work ;)

I'm going to try to concoct some icons, perhaps one for "contacts" and one for "games" I'll be sure to share them if I can come up with something decent...

Hi i followed the installation instructions but couldnt get it working. What exactly do i do after the installation process? Running Wm2003.

great piece of coding Grumps... do you plan on sharing the source code so that other contributors can update your wonderful piece of code?

On the WM5 device the registry keys i managed to find that shows battery level have the same values for when the battery is on 10/20 and 30/40 and 50/60 and 70/80 and 90/100 which means if you battery is form for instance 31 to 49% charged it will show 40% im still looking for code to make that work a bit more accurate . I cant seem to find a way to run .lnk files, the code i call is startProcess when calling an external app but it would only execute .exe files, one can however add parameters after it so im looking at changing the code config.txt so you guys can add the exe then a , and then parameters eg \windows\fexplorer.exe, -t -g -v

Ill work on that and let you know. Unless anybody knows what the OS actually runs to execute a .lnk file.

In windows it woulde be Explorer.exe shortcut.lnk for instance so the OS in XP passes all exe run from explorer.exe. If we can find out if there is a way similar to XP then i can do this.

great piece of coding Grumps... do you plan on sharing the source code so that other contributors can update your wonderful piece of code?

I can its written in Visual Studio 2003 in C#, do you have any experience in that? i need some advice in how to load a background image and then make a transparent image over that. Busy working on the slider app but cant get transparency to work so for now the guys will have to use the other slider. Also do you possibly know how to run another application from within this iPhone app, I use call Process but it will only run .exe files and not .lnk files??

[Grumps]

Hi i followed the installation instructions but couldnt get it working. What exactly do i do after the installation process? Running Wm2003.

The WM2003 devices dont support reading the Network and battery levels from the registry and the OPENnetCF.dll file was coded for WM5 devices so unfortunately it wont work, i can give you version 0.90 which will read the network operator name from a file called signal.txt and display fake battery and signal strength meters. THere is no other way of doing this for now as far as i know

yes, that was the point.

in the meantime i have google a lot regarding the lnk-issue. as far as i can tell. there is no working lnk2exe converter (this could have solved it the easy way ;) ). but i have contacted the developer of rltoday (http://rotlaus-software.de/blog/2007/03/18/rltoday-version-0121/), he has included lnk-support in his last release maybe he knows a way.

tomorrow i'll look into creating some hover icons. greetings nicolas and thx again grumps for all your work!

[SMK]

.lnk and .url (internet shortcuts) were both functional in the original version of the launcher.exe - I had settings mapped to a shortcut (lnk) to memory settings and weather mapped to an internet shortcut (.url) to weather.com; so the original source code should give you an idea on how to do it. I switched to your version due to the nasty memory leak of the original - plus the nice extras. .lnk and .url support will make it much nicer.

Thanx for your finger in the pie buddy. :-) I didnt write the original one and it wasnt written in Visual Studio either. Was written is some other language and thats why i cant use their code to do the same thing. Im trying to find a way tho. I promise if there is a way we will find it.

Thanx buddy. Im looking on MSDN to find a solution. I dont think the battery is a big issue anyway its close enough to be correct. Im working on a slider as well btw. Will se how far i get this weekend. Well keep well and chat soon. Seems like our GMT times are way of Im GMT+2 and yourself?
O and hang on with the hovering icons. There might be a way to put a transparent image over the current ones

So, the cofigurator-app i started with earlier is getting close to usable.
Could you integrate an ability to turn each images/buttons on and off by reading a 0/1 value from the config file?

Well what you can do is to load a completely black .bmp file and remove the text for the image description that should work? Or what do you think?

If you dont assign it an image file at all, it would just go white right?
so if you change the "BackColor" attribute on all the pictureboxes to black instead of white, wouldnt that be better?

Edit:
but personally i would have used something like

if "input lineinfo here" = "1" then
picturebox1.visible = true
else
picturebox1.visible = false

and so on

Cool i can change it, the only thing is that it takes time to read data from files so the startup might be a bit slower, unless we add a ,0 or ,1 after the image file?? for instance \icons\sms.bmp,0 to hide? When do you plan on having it ready?

Another thing, i wanna write the slide app as well but cant find a way to use the clowns as a background and use the other docks but make them semi transparent to put over the background

On the contacts list could you add a alphabetical list from top to bottom on the right hand side in small text so the user can access specific names quickly by choosing the first letter of the contact info.

Great App!!!
I'm using it on a HTC P3300
I had to rename a few button links because the apps have different names on my P3300 but that I can fix the problem I have is with calling the slider app from the signal.txt file.
What ever I fill in in the text file the slider is not coming up (the iphone app is closing) do you know how to fix this???
Ohh btw the slider app is working when I start it up directly

Is anyone working on the editor or should I give it a go? My "native" language is Java but I have programmed couple .NET apps (C#) so it should not be a problem.

[Glipsie]

Actually, if you're using HKLM\System\Status\Battery its far more crude than that. Microsoft defines the values as follows:
0 = Very low; 21 = Low; 41 = Medium; 61 = High; 81 = Very high
The dword in status\battery stores 2 pieces of information. The upper two bytes is the battery level, indicated by the values above. The lower two bytes represents the actual batter state i.e.:
0 = normal, 1 = battery not present, 2 = charging, 4 = low, 8 = critical
You need to do bitwise operations on this value as it can represent more than 1 state. So if you for example got a 6 from the lower two bytes, this would mean that the battery state was charging and low.

Taking posted results:
Your values:
5308418 decimal = 00 51 00 02 hex
51 Hex = 81 Dec = Very High
5308416 decimal = 00 51 00 00
51 Hex = 81 Dec = Very High
0 = Battery normal

nicolas:
2686978 decimal = 00 29 00 02 hex
29 Hex = 41 Dec = Medium
02 = Charging state

2686976 decimal = 00 29 00 00 hex
29 Hex = 41 Dec = Medium
0 = Battery normal

Hope that helps

Its not really about not being able to get it from the registry. I program in VS2003 and i use an addon library OPENnetCF.dll to read keys from the registry and it seems like that dll doesnt wanna work on WM2003. Ill try and find another way and let you guys know.

i've just seen a iphone type app called ilaunch over at http://www.dvdtoiphone.com

It has a slider that works very smoothly and web links for stocks etc in the interface.

It looks like you can't customise it as much as your version however and it doesn't have any clever hidden buttons for shutdown and lock.

Any chance of joining forces to create a really kick ass iPhone app?

why would you want to make your kick ass phone look like a dud? the iphone isnt great all on paper, if it isnt good on paper its not good in real life. (just look at the ipod)

if this is to impress newbs, i would rather show off some real technical innovation, like using world card mobile to import business cards to outlook or show an Xvid movie.

O yes an the self cenetring of the text has also been fixed in the new version

O yes the other thing. The guys who want it for WM2003 devices please give me a day or two. I want to make it with all the features of .94 without hte obvious other problems tho. Thanx for your patients

Look at the demo video! I wonder how aye-Fone PIM looks like.

[beardmutant]

I agree that WM phones are better than an iPhone.
The problem with WM phones is the interface. Apple have always made easy to use, well designed, great looking interfaces.
WM interface hasn't changed since well windows CE days. The features are there but you have to trawl though to find them.
All this is doing is improving the user experience though a well laid out, good looking interface.
I think that this is a good starting point to design even better interfaces that look really good and make the experience more enjoyable.

[dinomight]

Ok here is another suggestion(which some might not agree with me on).

1. While the its handy to have a signal link to the slide lock it might be nice (and i would bet fairly simple to add a few gesture recognition. for example a slide up gesture could activate the lock. I figure it would be simple to detect like 4 gestures (slide up, down, left, right(and possibly the diags))(just find the slope using start,end point) and have each execute some function.

2. I really need the mail icon to indicate how many unread msg are in my inbox (i don't know how difficult this would be to do.

3. It would be cool to have the source, so others can help.(but i totally understand the argument against it

[dinomight]

4. support for multiple pages of icons (little button on left/right to cycle through them (possibly with some cool sliding animation.))

Well you guys asked to run link files so i assumed that you actually know how they work, lemme explain. A link file is a shortcut to another exe file so its in the following format. if you would open a .lnk file you will see this

23#"\Windows\iexplore.exe"www.google.com

the 23 indicates the actual length of the "executable" as in "\windows\iexplore.exe" including the """" and the www.google.com is the parameter that is passed so it will opene iexplore.exe and then pass www.google.com to it

I made a envelope to show over the battery icon when there are outstanding messages and if one would click on it it would take you to the inbox, BUT i dont know which registry key shows unread messages. Thats for the next version tho, should be ready tomorrow

People want to see missed calls, unread sms and unread email. So what i thought of doing is making the first three of the bottom icons static. Not as in you cant change the icons but the first one will show missed calls, the second unread mail and the third, unread sms's

Please lemme know what you guys think. O yes i will also need new icons with they greyish background. On each of them two icons. One for normal and one for outstanding alert

[Grumps]

Is there any way to just indicate that a call is missed, or a new message has arrived? Possibly with icons like this...

Can you make a new one for email and messages with the carbon fibre look please

[cra3y]

You can do a goole search for "Control Panel Applets" WM6. Some of them are listed of M$ site.

Here is a list made by me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34658&d=1172638901:)


have someone trick to launch "Settings" from shortcut? (like pressing Start -> Settings)

[beardmutant]

Here's a quick phone icon with a separate missed call icon.
Also here's a carbon fibre background.

I will post something decent when I have some time.

[stukes]

have someone trick to launch "Settings" from shortcut? (like pressing Start -> Settings)

I do not have that info. However you can make a folder with all the links and link to that folder.

[nijhof]

And the same question for the phone app. I cant open it nor link to it.
Is it possible to put some kind of link in the windows\startup folder so iphone starts up after reset?

Highlight iphone.exe then go to edit copy, then go to \windows\startup and say paste shortcut

[Grumps]

Ok version 0.95 is out, changes made :

1. Adding a ,0 at the end of a icon will hide it eg : \Icons\01-sms.bmp,0
2. Implementing notification for sms,missed calls, and unread emails so the bottom three icons will be used as fiollows :
1. Missed Call
2. Unread Sms
3. Unread Email
3. So change the config.txt file to show an icon to display when there are unread smses. I attached my Config.txt file as an example, it will be icons 13,14 and 15

I need icons please as requested before

[nijhof]

hi,

thanx for the earlier tip. I seem to be missing vtkey.exe for the phone application? cant find any similar file.
any tip?

[hylandb]

Can we get the time to display in 12 hour format instead of 24 hour format?

I'm not a fan of having the bottom icons locked down... for example I don't need a Phone Icon because I have a hardware button right below the screen on my ppc-6700. Just a suggestion but I'd rethink the notification issue.

Finally, could we optionally lost the gradient gray bar behind the bottom row of icons? I like the "All Black" look and the ability to use what appear to be non-square bitmaps (by coloring the edges black).


Keep up the good work!

[vsa]

Hello Grumps, great job! The "theme" is really beautiful and the user interface is easy to use.

There are two questions: I use an (german) xda orbit, which shows on my Tody-Screen (with an extra-tool, what was included by o2) my "Homezone". Is it possible to integrate that anyhow to your theme?

How can I add more Programm-Icons to your theme? I mean something like an icon with a link to a 2nd page, where I can place more programs. Eg. I click a "more"-Button and another page opens with tools or a Contact-Page opens with all the Icons with Pictures of my friends. If I click on one person it would dial the number... (The Idea comes from another iphne theme form ozan killic (http://www.ozankilic.com/?p=31 He uses wisbar to realize that, but is is very beta...)

Greetings
vsa

[hylandb]

By the way, I notice on my ppc-6700 using WM5 that I cannot get the Iphone to minimize and stay running so I can task switch to my Today screen. Using a task switcher I am only able to get the title bar (with fully functional start menu) of the Today screen to overlay the Iphone icons. Can this be fixed?

Thanks.

[dinomight]

Looks like there is a bug in v .95. For me it bombs every time i try to start the application (.94 worked just fine) Here are the details from the error:

iPhone.exe
NullReferenceException

Form1::GetMissed+0x20
Form1::Form1_Load+0xf7
Form::OnLoad+0x15
Form::_SetVisibleNotify+0x1d
Control::set_Visible+0x1f
Application::Run+0x7
Form1::Main+0xa

I have an htc apache (xv6700) with verzion wireless.
Btw I love the alt icon for when there are messages/sms/missed calls. I would love to see the text for the icon be appended with the number of missed calls/new messages, Also it would be great to be able to define which icon could be what type of icon (so that we could move the sms icon back to the upper left, or remove altogether one of these special notification icons (for example i don't need an sms indicator just mail and missed calls). Oh and i'd love to help with simple gesture detection (if you decide to include the source). Thanks again for all of the great work.
-D

[SMK]

I get the same error. I'm using a Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard).

[greggerca]

Yeah, me too...

All the files seem to exist in the right places... .94 worked fine.

TTFN

[michalis1961]

And me too...
In ETEN X500

[kwstump]

I too get these errors after a soft reset. But it seems to work after I go and look at my call log under the phone application. Almost like it cannot load the missed calls till we go into it first... Just something I was noticing on my 8525 with LSVW 4-23 release. Do not know if that will help

Kevin

[SMK]

Yep - that must be it. The registry key you have to look at to get missed calls doesn't exist until after you look at the call log (I just verified this) - the app must be always expecting this to exist. In contrast, the registry values for unread email and sms always exist.

[ed8widge]

I have the same error messages :(

[dinomight]

I can confirm that it looks like the reg key is missing and that causes the crash. After checking my missed call list the iphone app works great.

[tiwanx]

I Made some Icon that slightly resemble the eye-fone alert icoms

[dinomight]

I Made some Icon that slightly resemble the eye-fone alert icoms

Wow those icon's are so much nicer. (no offense to those that created the previous icons).

[greggerca]

So in post #1, Grumps refernces a "mail.txt" file. What would that do? I don't see an example of it.

On a related note, I couldn't get my SMS lnk file to work yet. The LNK file doesn't really seem to execute when I add parameters like:
20#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""

Which does work right when I just tap it from File Explorer.

Also, I did the "missed calls" filter on my call history and iPhone .95 started up with no error... I guess I haven't done that before.

TTFN

[geovass]

Latest version works very good on my Trinity as well !

[ianrulz123]

I Made some Icon that slightly resemble the eye-fone alert icoms

Very nice!

[deviusdragger]

Working really good on my 8125. have no problems at all on it. Thank you very much guys.

[Cire6789]

it's very nice , i love this app so much

and the problem is solved =)

[diaftia]

This is probably a WM6 issue but I get a Error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException when I start the application.

[deviusdragger]

diaftia you most likely have an error on your config file. i had the same problems. i had to mess with the config file and it worked just fine.

Edit: Sorry....But im a Senior memeber now. Hooray for me!!! Sorry for that

ROFL! Congrats! haha! :)

Thanks for the quick reply. I will go in and look a little deeper. The only thing I remember changing is the entries that pointed to the storage cards program files by default. I will start with the original one again and go from there.

[diaftia]

Nope... I even verified that all links pointed to something. Like I said I am running WM6 so it could be doing a call to something that might be in a different place. I will even post it so you don't think I am a llama:

Also is there gonna be a version that is in 12 hour format. Im not too much into the 24hr format. And that will also show when you press a key. LIke darken the button or something like that. Thanks guys

[deviusdragger]

Well this is what mine looks like and it works just fine. i didnt use the email one because i done use many of those. and changed around a couple of keys.

Nope... I even just tried using the stock config file and that doesn't work either. Thanks for the tips. So far the only app that I have not been able to run on WM6. Well there was one other actually. A Task manager called inclose. Great one. It wasn't even WM6 in that case it was the Dutty v2 ROM that I am running on my 8525. Could be the same thing in this case too.

[CBRich]

Just a few things here:

0.95 does not work unless call history has been previously opened (universal problem i think)

newsms shortcut with parameters go to a new sms in explorer but simply opens tmail.exe from iphone

some other parameter shortcuts also do not work

[diaftia]

ROFL! That was it. I imaged my phone a couple of weeks ago and never opened it. So simple, yet so obscure. Thanks!

[afguard17]

that fixed my issue too. So that means I have to have call history open first before I can use Iphone app?

[diaftia]

I thought it was to be short lived. Seems there is also a problem with having all the extra icons in the directory. What I did was deleted the icons in the regular folder, copied all of the icons in extra icons into that folder, and then placed some alert icons on top of that. It didn't like it. Go back to the originals and it works fine.

Another thing I found was that since I cannot seem to use a task manager (program will exit to today rather than back to iphone) I created a running.lnk with the shortcut:

22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2

That goes to running programs. Iphone exits on error. Seems like this error has been discovered to some degree though. Just thought I would post what I have found. The app looks pretty damn cool though!

Your format is wrong but i explained it 4 pages back, but here is your solution :

21#"\windows\ctlpnl.exe"cplmain.cpl,4,2

[Grumps]

Seems like people enjoy complaining.

I released 0.96 and ALL known bugs are sorted out it only had one though as far as i know.

Other feutures is that it now shows number of unread messages,email and missed call count.

Please test on WM2003 as well. If you guys use a WM2003 device and it shows Searching... in the network operator name then please change the following registry key and enter your operator name where it says searching

\HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name

O yes and thanx for all ur comments

Ah, thanks for the tip. Works like a champ! It even works good with the inclose task manager. It didn't like PBar but its not the first time I have seen pbar be finicky.

Much appreciated! Thanks!

Nope as i said i have tried almost everything but couldnt find.

[samy.3660]

Grumps,
I find out something that people who are using wizard can open start menu by an application called smartskey, but if we can make shorcut that will trigger the start menu that will be good.

And can we change the background of the launcher, i like clownfish one, like we change the icon

Thanks

[Grumps]

Thanks

You know ill mail the author of smartskey and find out how he triggers it and see if get a responce. As with the background : The clownfish are actually used as a screen saver and not th main IPhone screen. The problem with doing that is the text under the icons will have a black background and not transparent. Im trying to figure out a way of resolving this issue. As soon as ive done that ill make it so anyone can load any background. Please be a little patient.

Thanx

[nijhof]

There shouldnt be a problem paste your config.txt file here and ill check quickly

i'ts the same config as pasted on page 18 (not in a position to paste it in myself right now) however I do not have the vtkey.exe but i use cprog.exe

thx

[Grumps]

thx

On startup the app only loads images and nothing else, so if ur getting a file not found error the file is either missing, or name is spelt incorrectly or its not a valid .bmp file. please make sure of the spelling

[Grumps]

0.97 is uploaded.

There wqas a lot of changes so please dont complain tooooooo much if there are any bugs.

Yuo can now load 4 additional pages instead of just the one use the words page2,page3,page4 o3 page3 instead of an .exe file

To NOT use any notifications for sms,email,missed calls add a ,0 after the .bmp files eg \icons\phone.bmp,\icons\phone-alert.bmp,0

Im only gonna be online again on monday so lemme know about the bugs.

O yes and can someone tell me if it works on a WM2003 device

[sagivhadaya]

grumps, amazging progress, its nice to see this application comes out so fast.

couple of requests:
1. can we make the buttons presses down when clicked?
2. can we combine it all to a basic package? (with contacts and slide)


thanks!:D

and ofcourse add to that a uniform finger scrolling app which can be used with all apps including music/calendar etc etc :)

Hello Grumps,
wow - great job. I just installed the 0.97 and it works fine so far. Switching to the second or thrid page works also fine if there are 16 Icons. If you put less than 16 Icons, the program crashes.
I try to figure out how to diala number out of an icon/shortcut.

I hope there is a quick fix for this as I am very egger to get this program up and running as I have spent 1hr working on custom icons lol

Sorry that was for v.94 my browser was catching the first post-page so I never saw the latest version just had to hit refresh o.O

[ianrulz123]

Wow, I love .97!!!

It seems to be working perfectly on my 8125. I absolutely love the missed call and new text indicator (I don't use the email interface, so I can't say anything about that.)

Has anyone brought up the possibility of a Voicemail indicator? That would be sweeeeet too.

Thanks again for all the hard work!

:D

[richardlai]

Yeah, being able to execute a .lnk file would be awesome.

If you make the following LNK file you can create a new SMS (which makes that icon different than the Mail icon):

Paste this into Notepad and name it <something>.lnk
20#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""

Then I wanted to assign the action for SMS to this LNK file.
TTFN

I created this .lnk file as instructed by the launcher still doesn't do anything.

I am also trying to make a button for "Contacts", so I will need to know what I have done wrong above.

Is the time difference (Mine displays 8:50 instead of 9:50) a known issue?

[xpsypiex]

So you need someone to work with the images? What kind of work needs to be on what? I'm down for what ever images you need.

I am assuming any image is going to be around 24x24 pixels in size. I used to play this game called Ragnarok Online. Here is some of my work for the game ( pink shows up in game as transparent.): http://jrfma.net/other/roe/

Chiming in with incremental improvement request:
The screen buttons take up a lot of space from frequently used app buttons; can you make one button to toggle through the screens, or maybe toggle by clicking the service provider name?

One other thing that could enhance the app is displaying the correct number day in the calendar icon. Prolly not important tho.

Depressed button images attached at your request. Hope this is still helpful.

Unfortunately I havent looked into 0.97 with the number of missed calls/sms/emails displayed yet so the depressed alert buttons attached may be superfluous in this case.

If anyone wants to replicate this for their own created buttons; do a colour overlay in photoshop - black at 50%.

Has anyone else tried running this on a Prophet? It seems to run just fine - for a few hours or so. Then it starts causing strange problems such as apps not running, back-light won't come on, general slow response. If I quit the program everything returns to normal. It's a shame as it's a great program otherwise.

Grumps/All- I'm a newbie and the collabortion here is incredible! I am using the 0.97 version but the background on all the text is showing up gray instead of black. Majority of screen is black, except the blocks just around the text (including the time and apps text). Any suggestions on how I can fix this? I'm using an iPAQ hp4150. Thanks again.
