[Discuss] JustMe - 4 flavors (formelly Just2Stuffed) [Update 06/23/08]

[ivanmmj]

UPDATE 06/23/08
I'm having some issues with a few things. As usual, time is amongst them. In any case, the LZX version is just too slow for my taste... but maybe it's because I've been using a small pagepool with it.
In any case, attached is a teaser. It's the today screen that I've been waiting for.

As far as bugs go:
LZX version: Will not display the proper XIP version. I had a problem with the LZX compression and had to use one of Aserg's LZX ROMs as a skeleton on to which to graft the ROM. This worked but introducted this issue. I'm assuming that it's an issue with the cecompr.dll used and that Aserg had hex edited the XIP number unto the imgfs.bin.
All the "full versions" That today screen is not Landscape compatible so you will not see it properly when in landscape mode and in the today screen. Also, the background interferes with the start menu's functionality. I'm working to fix that now, though. Although, it's time for sleep...





Hey guys. Just messing around with a possible full ROM (as supposed to my usual stripped ROMs.) For now, it's based on the Diamond ROM.

It has the following so far:

Arcsoft 4 (I'm having some problems with 5... my MMS stopped working, even though they work with Just2Clean.)
Custom looking HTC Home 2.1 with proxy patch for those who use it on Tmobile's network - This is changing into something else... You'll see it when the author posts it.
Big start menu icons
Big X-Button Icons
black calculator - (My ROM users know I don't ever include calculators. lol)
PocketXpdf
TMPCP
Office 6.1 + OneNote
PHM RegEdit
Advanced Config
Audio Manager
Battery Status - This will be PART of the today screen...)
Esmertec Jbed + OperaMini 4.1 (4.1 was not buggy, the newer Esmertec I was using with it was. This is a stable version.)
HTCAlbum
Internet Sharing
TotalCommander (newest version I believe)
VoiceNotes (something else I tend to remove... I'm not sure if I'll keep it...)
NETCF v3.5
RandomAccess
Oxios Hibernate/CloseApp


This will come in 4 flavors at first.
1. Standard JustMe
2. LZX JustMe - A little slower, but with much more space due to the LZX compression.*
3. A UPX'ed version - Adds a little more speed and storage, but not as much as LZX.
4. A Just2Clean variant with LZX compression. Basically, the 70MB free one.

I MIGHT add a 5th version, a 'la Ttran's biggy if people tell me what they want in it.


*LZX compression is giving me a strange bug that causes the wrong WinCE version to show under the about tab.

The list looks good ivan... only things i wouldn't like would be Total Commander and PHM Regedit, since i use the excellent Resco File explorer which includes both functionalities in 1 app :)

Btw... speed & Voice dialing would be nice to be included ??

Thanks again for your hard work!

Speed & Voice dialing - Agreed
TotalCommander can also edit the registry, but I prefer using PHM Regedit. Resco is great, I agree, but it's not free, so I can't cook it in. I might make a version like this, though... might.

[GAMBIT999]

Your ROM looks very interesting may I suggest adding HTC RandomAccess to your ROM to make it handier browsing through the contacts.

Estimated time of release?

[taspankya]

i would use this :-) , i agree with gambit, too... icontact or something for contact browsing would be nice. other than that, it seems to meet all my necessary apps, nothing more, nothing less. :D

[ivanmmj]

Oh I forgot to mention that was added, too. lol

EDIT: OK... the letter images that appear in the center for randomaccess are broken, so I'm gonna have to fix that, too... :p Thanks for reminding me, though, or I would have never caught that.


EDIT2:
Estimated time: Whenever I get to it. :-p I'm a perfectionist, and I tend to have too many projects going on at once... plus I rarely have time to mess around with things... and I'm very disorganized... sooooo.... soon. lol
I have a working version that I may be able to fix by tonight... So sooner than I even thought maybe...

Which reminds me... I have to update my signature. Make it J2C, J2S and kitchen and maybe a bigger donate button.

[GAMBIT999]

Oh I forgot to mention that was added, too. lolOkay, good to know now I can go to bed and wait for the release;)

[pseudoproto]

I know HTC Home is kind of a standard for Today Screen, and I used it for a while.....but, I'm kind of liking the functions of BS. It doesn't take as much power or space and I can configure it with a little HTML.

I started using it shortly after flashing J2C and really like the space. Plus I have more space on the SD for music, since I'm not using HHC now. Just a thought. I sent a screen shot of my modified Aurora theme. I'm running BS with rlToday for the clock, Weather panel, both integrated in BS, and "BS Home" for the bottom buttons.

I also like Network Folders cooked in (runs smoother).

Does TCPMP include plug-ins?

That's my two cents ........

[monkey_knight]

perhaps a program that most people don't use...but it does benefit me personally, since it lets me use the phone as a removable usb drive at work...where I can't install activesync...so that i can transfer files as need be...and occasionally use portableapps, like portable firefox through the removable drive...since the work network won't allow users to install software on the computer.

wm5torage is a fairly small program, so it shouldn't take up too much room...

[monkey_knight]

for those that might flash every so often, but don't connect to outlook to sync, PIM Backup is a great way to backup contacts, sms', and calendar info...

Actually, I'd be ALL for it if you can provide me with the needed files. I've been looking for something like this, and although I'm good at making things work, I'm not good at making them look pretty. ^_^
Is the weather panel proxy compatible?
If it is, this will be great!

Network Folders?

As far as the plugins, it will. The version I have on it right now is a place holder until I can find a more decent package, though.

I back up everything through an exchange server, so normally I wouldn't use PIM backup... I might add it depending on the size of the program.

[papamopps]

@ batterystatus = of course best APP ever...still don´t understand why people use HTC HOME

@ wm5torage great aspp for using device AS USB massstorage on my autoradio with usb-support ;)

@pimbackup...why to include...just put pimbackup.exe on SDcard...and run manually from tim to time...

Just my 2 cents

All I have are the cab files. I've been reading a lot of the post in the Prophet forum for BS themes (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510). prscott1 has quite a few different themes up and knows this a lot better than I do.

I'm sorry I misspoke earlier, I did mean networkplugin; HTC or Schaps. They both seem to work fine. Schaps is just 5K smaller as a cab.

This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371049) is where I got most of it. I just use weather panel in place of using UL as a plugin. I really can't take credit for someone else's work. I did a little rewriting of the HTML for the bottom buttons though.

Weather Panel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307781) does have an option for proxy settings.


Just what you need....another project. :)


@ batterystatus = of course best APP ever...still don´t understand why people use HTC HOME

It's easy, and compared to what you get with a stock ROM it's the next best thing to sliced bread. Battery Status bakes, slices, and toasts the bread. :D

HTC home is easier to setup and it's buttons are big enough for my fingers... but if you want to help me setup a working HTC clone with batterystatus that does what I need it to do and has big buttons, by all means, tell me. :p

This is the HTCHome BS theme. It's the same theme I'm running on my previous post just different lines showing. The message buttons are included and can be changed just by tap and hold on them.

I've attached the latest BS and the HTCHome theme, the HTCHopmeskin and the XML file are placed in the BS folder and the HTC Home files are placed in the \windows dir. It basically is editing the XML file to point to the progs you want to use. most of it is set for you. The on thing is the weather tab and the prog tab. I've seen a few setups with UL and as you can see I have it as an option in my setup.

Hope this helps. Keep up the excellent work.

I used that theme for a while, and I really like it. Using BS for themes is a bit easier, assuming you know how to edit the .xml theme. I second using BS instead of HTCHome, more customization.

[CommZ]

Looks, maybe I will use it when it is released :) Still no success with the kitchen and your j2c files :)

I would trash this:

Custom looking HTC Home 2.1 with proxy patch for those who use it on Tmobile's network
black calculator - (My ROM users know I don't ever include calculators. lol)
PHM RegEdit
Audio Manager
Remote Desktop (I MIGHT remove this one...)
TotalCommander newest version I believe
VoiceNotes (something else I tend to remove... I'm not sure if I'll keep it...)
RandomAccess

ooops...:D

[prscott1]

HTCAlbum
Internet Sharing

VoiceNotes (something else I tend to remove... I'm not sure if I'll keep it...)
NETCF v3.5
RandomAccess


That's the list so far since I'm at work and can't mess around with it. As you can see it's a semi stripped ROM. No games, but things that I use on a daily basis have been added. All this and you still get 50MB+ of storage free. This is mostly a "I use it, it goes into the ROM" kind of ROM so far, but let me know what you'd like to go into it and you think should be removed and I'll think about making those changes happen. Remember, it depends on whether I also believe it's a useful app or not. :-p

sounds like an incredible ROM! I am more of a BatteryStatus / Mortscript fan than I am of HTC Home, but I do like the touchflo scrolling. I would still enjoy trying your stuffed ROM. there are soo many great BS themes available now - some imitations of WM7, iphone, etc. I have added Ultimate launch recently (mainly for apps launching) so I have a BS/UL combo that is driving my latest themes. I'll post some screen shots when I have a chance (at work now) to see if anyone is interested.

Edit: I'm uploading a few screenshots of my latest (and colorful) BS theme that has UL, todayagenda, searchtoday and RSSNews integrated within.

first, second and third screenshots are the clock page with various rows showing.
fourth, fifth and sixth screenshots show some of my UL sides and cube in action.

I've been in a colorful mood lately. ;)

[ivanmmj]

The only thing I would require out of a BS theme would be the message indicators which I use quite heavily. I know that pappamopps uses them, so maybe he can add them to this BS theme being as nice as he is. ;)

[DrogenDiego]

I'm on for this too if you remove remote desktop cuz I think it's useless! I would keep the voice notes though since it's kinda funny sometimtes to record sth with the phone...I'm exactly searching for something like this with the newest build since I have most of the apps in a folder called cabs on my wing :P Cuz in my opinion everyone needs different progs but this sounds like a good base to build a customized ROM on!

Funny you should answer "the call." I spent days checking out some of your work in the BS Themes thread. I even mentioned you and some of your themes in a earlier post.

I'm kind of new to the BS themes and think you would be great help to Ivan...a lot better than I would be.

[prscott1]

Thanks for the mention! Your theme looks good.

Ivan, I'll offer my help if you need it - I think you are in good hands with pappamopp though.

Here is one of my earlier BS themes that I posted last year. It is only battery status, but sort of looks and acts like HTC home (sort of). HTC Home look alike (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2018281&postcount=221)

[pseudoproto]

Is this happening somewhere in time? I know you have a lot on your plate but this thread started going stale.

Just wondering about this and the Ultra J2C.....can't decide between the two when they both come out.

[ivanmmj]

Updated on first post.

[waynehathaway]

Been keeping a close eye on your next release. I am real interested in seeing you hit the 70MB free storage on my Wing. Maybe soon. We'll see. Thanks for your work here.

[CommZ]

So LZXed ROMs are faster tham uncompressed ones? Great!

[prscott1]

This will come in 4 flavors at first.
1. Standard JustMe
2. LZX JustMe - A little slower, but with much more space due to the LZX compression.*
3. A UPX'ed version - Adds a little more speed and storage, but not as much as LZX.
4. A Just2Clean variant with LZX compression. Basically, the 70MB free one.



Wow, great list! I'd love to try any / all of these! Please let me know if I can help beta test any of them. I would really enjoy being able to help test these out.

[wshader]

I'd also like to help beta test... I've been waiting for your new Just2Clean forever (well maybe a week :p).

[cbbplanet]

yayyy!! ivan is coming with a new rom!! looking forward to it! and remenber, better looking =D

ps. i really agree that you should take off voice notes. and keep us updated! i'll definetly use your rom this time if its at least a little visually appealing =P

[pseudoproto]

So LZXed ROMs are faster tham uncompressed ones? Great!

The LZX is a little SLOWER, but more storage.



Looking forward to the rollout.

[kweng_ca]

Hey Ivan,

Have an Eta on this release? I'm really looking forward to trying it out. :D

[ivanmmj]

I would have worked on it yesterday had I not spend the whole day throwing up and delirious. I've got either food poisoning or a really nasty case of the stomach flu (as I almost NEVER throw up.)
I'm basically waiting for the theme artist to finish the theme. His PC broke down so it's taken a while to rebuilt the thing from scratch. I suppose I could always release the Just2Clean variant since that's pretty much done.

It would be cool to try out the variant. what build is it based on?

[veekay]

J2C would be great - I went back and redid my whole phone so I could start fresh with the last release of this. I really hate having things built-in that have future upgrades, just a waste of space in many cases.

Wow, thats terrible. Food poisoning blows... I hope you feel better. looks forward to the rom. :D

[fzzyrn]

so you're still working on it?
I was worried that you had developed a propensity for abandoning projects *cough*cookingguidejust2cleaneasybakeoven*cough*

anyway, i'm also here to ask you to take on one more project. and you know what it is.

I may or may not have an issue with said problem... not to mention that the limited time I have horrible time management skills and my fiancee is not happy with me spending it doing things like "playing" with my cell phone.

hope your ok now...but ivan i could be a theme artist...kidnamedalbert taught me to do it

[ivanmmj]

Les petite update.


I'm also waiting on MEXICAN3 for the dialer.

[wshader]

So is that htc home or a battery status theme for the bottom part?

[ivanmmj]

The theme author used HTC home for the bottom but BatteryStatus is also used... originally it didn't use batterystatus but because the original app that controlled the SMS and call counters was not a freeware, he added batterystatus. I wonder if he could use bs for the rest as well? The only program would be the rlToday clock that's sitting in between...

In Battery Status Extended you can incorporate other Today plug-ins. just number the rlToday and give it is own dedicated line it can go in between other BS lines without a problem. (This works with most Today plug-ins)

[N3xt2N0N3]

finish this rom...i want it lol
