i will try to help as much as i am learning day by day as well and i encourage new members to search and read before and take a proactive approach in solving problems n such and learn day by day :)

[l3v5y]

Damnit! Some of us like flaming people :D

Good idea though, and I hope to be able to help...

[rorydaredkign]

yep, great idea, but will they ignore it, just like they ignore the rule called search?

OK, I'll give it a try then!

I'm looking for a program that intercepts incoming calls, just like S2U2 does, then displays the name, phone number and picture and has two large buttons accept or decline the call. I don't like the HTC dailer, it doesn't work for me..
I now use S2U2, but I don't need the sliding/locking part. Any suggestions?

Are you only looking for apps or would skins do aswell?

If a skin could fix it, that's ok too.

This is a great idea! I think the Mods should step in and make this one sticky. Then for every noobish thread, move them to the end of this thread to keep the forum clean.

Noobies may not immediately realize this is where they should ask questions, but Mods can help. Or change the rule a bit to someone has to make at least 10 posts or so before they can start add new topics?

You should be able to turn off the sliding lock in S2U2 settings. In other words, turn off "Lock when device wakes up" and "Lock when backlight turns off."

In the S2U2 setting you can enable or disable one feature called: "Slide to asnwer"..
if you disable it it will work just as these 2 screens (these screens are from s2u2).. else it will work using the slide feature...
all good?

I'm looking for a very simple profile manager (Nokia like), I need only to switch from "normal" to "meeting" or another or two custom profiles, then I need the possibility to choose for how many time, then, after this time, automatically switch back to normal.

I dont need to switch wifi or bluetooth on and off, only the possibility to change ring volume and/or switch vibration on and off.

Thanks, Andrea

[flaviopac]

WELL DONE...
Finally a great idea....

Why doesn't a mod stick this thread??

I mean... Not here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397610 but in the first page of "Development and Hacking" section.

Because surely noobs don't read the sticky rollup thread....

I plan to put this in my signature for sure. I may come here as well if I have a question, answer/resolution, or after thought. It's an excellent way many to give back to the community as well.

I have been looking for a Calendar similar to iPhone. I am not an iphone fan. But I like the calendar, I mean their agenda view. I would like to have software which shows agenda view for a year or so. I am using today agenda which is good one but that shows only 30 days max. Dont ask me to try agenda fusion and the other huge applications I have tried them too heavy and complicated. I dont use most of thei funtionalities. What I am looking for is a simple program which can show agenda view for a year or may be more
THanks
jug

[TweakMan]

Reply to jugulator:
In my opinion , I would def recomend Thumbcal. Type it in on google search, it is on here somewhere. Thats by far the most iPhone like calendar I've used, pluse it's pretty, it's functional, and No bugs, that I've noticed.


Also, I would really like to thank the noobys that have actually used this thread. That has saved four unneccisary threads from getting started already, and look how fast your questions got answered. If you would have made a new thread, then you would have just got flamed. I really hope more ppl support this thread, and the mods stick it. More noobs would see it, and therefore use it. Once they see how quick the replys are, then why wouldn't they. But thanks for the support, and I hope you keep it up, and get others involved. This is my cotribution to help clean up. Also , I'm going to start something new.

For every question that gets posted, and then gets answered, I will personally PM the person who asked , to let them know that its answered. I will check the site every night, and morning, and for sure do this. I hope this helps provoke more use. Thanks guys.

[TweakMan]

Also, for the guy with the question about a call intercept app, if your still working with that, i agree S2u2 is your best bet. Cut off all of the features on the entire settings menu, except for the CID setting, and either slide to answer, or the end key settings. I checked it out, and it will do exactly what you want, while the lock screen never comes up. Hope youve got it going. But thanks for using this thread first!

[TweakMan]

Hey fella's. Need some help here. I have been using the YouTube Player I downloaded from here a week ago. I love it, but I would really like to make a skin for the thing. Im a wiz kid when it comes to graphics/skins, but nothing else. So is there anyway someone can post the skin files for this app.

If so, I will create a diamond version, vista, and maybe a couple more. I'd reALLY appreciate your help.

Hope I this thread actually works. I've been preaching on it, just trying to get the crazy amount of unneccisary threads down. If it doesn't I guess ill look like an idiot huh.

Thanks In advance though

[wacky.banana]

TweakMan,

If you want this thread as a front page sticky I suggest you PM one of the mods directly e.g. Flar or MrVanx.

Great idea, by the way. Not everyone will use it though as some people simply like using these forums as a resource where others do their searching for them.

I recall somebody coming on here last year who actually said that he did not have time to search as he was too busy in his day job as a project manager. Needless to say he got a severe slapping on his way out...

Hi,

SPB Mobile shell is more than just a profile manager, but it does have the option to switch between normal, silent, and Vibrate modes.

I find it to be a really cool software..

[pjc007]

I've posted this in the Universal Forum, with no reply! It seems most developers are either no longer working on the Universal, or are unwilling/unable to actually help out somebody just starting out in ROM cooking.

Here is a cut/paste of my question from there:

Well - my plea to ROM cookers to post their kitchen didn't produce any concrete results, so here's a different question/plea:

What kitchen tools are you using?

I use the HyperCore kitchen downloaded from here (Many thanks Anchillus):

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324682

I follow the process described here (Many thanks Laurentius):

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=47

[EDIT: At the PKGTool stage, I do 'Manual', not 'Automatic', and fix any missing files before continuing]

This was all working great for me for quite some time and let me build custom versions of the ROMs posted here. Nothing too fancy, mostly just adding in Ranju's voice notifications, making sure wktask was present, and removing the odd application that I don't use.

Now, however, this process rarely works, if ever.

For Ranju's ROMs, (at least up to 7.4 - I haven't tried with later), the process works, but the Flash Drive disappears -- annoying, because I like to use it for the browser cache.

For PDAViet ROMs, the extract fails with lots of 'overlap' errors.

For mo3ulla's latest ROM, everything *seems* to work, but the ROM locks up when I flash it (and yes, I have fixed the PP=8MB for it).

My 'test' process is to rebuild the vanilla ROM, btw, with NO changes (decode/extract ROM, extract XIP, build ROM, encode ROM, flash). This used to work 99% of the time, but now rarely works with the newer WM 6.1 ROMs.

I greatly admire all the work the various ROM builders do here, but really want to be able to make those little changes (and maybe learn more so I can at some point add in User Customization, etc, to speed up my CAB installs after upgrade!).

Any suggestions for different/better tools, and/or a better recipe for cooking, would be wonderful!

-PJC

I've been looking for such an app too, and i ended up using ppcProfiles pro (freeware). Its original tread is at modaco forums:http://www.modaco.com/content/ppcprofiles-pro/205779/latest-version/
But if you don't want to register there to download it, just google for it, you'll find a plenty of mirrors.

You can use this program to create up to five profiles with different ringtones, vibra and volume settings. You can switch the profiles by a today plugin, a popup window (shown if you launch ppcprofiles popup.exe - you can map it to a hardware button),, or by showing clicking an optional icon in systray (it will show the popup window). I don't like unnecessary today plugins, so i'm using the popup mapped to a hardware button plus a systray icon to notify me of currently active profile.
It might still have a bit too much features, but i'd recommend giving it a try - you don't have to use all of them, and at least the program is free :D

Does anyone know of a program that will auto launch programs on replacement of the storage card? Basically I have a program installed to my storage card that is obviously stopped when I remove the card. I need something to auto start it again when I replace the card so that I don't have to navigate to programs every time to execute it.

ThanksOn your storage card, create a folder called "2577" (I think it's that for ARM processors) and place the exe in that folder you want to execute. Call it "AutoRun.exe" now, every time the storage card is inserted, that program will be run.

Hi all and thanks for this useful thread: i'm a programmer, .NET basically, and it sounds weird but i really don't know how to start to make a WM5 application (the fastest env for what i've heard is the c++ env, is it right?). Is there an easy online tutorial or something i can search on google?

When I had a short interest in developing for WM, the MSDN libraries proved very useful, both the online ones and the ones in Visual Studio.
Also, C++ is the best language for stability and speed. I have seen a lot of programs start in .Net, or flash, until the developer realised it was super complicated and then rewrote it in C++.

Not sure if its any better/worse then the SPB suite but here's another possible. PhoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html).

[poorlyduck]

I have a suggestion to the mods, I think its time to split developement and hacking in subforums, as u can see there is alot of skinning threads, so it will be good idea to have a sub forum called skins or themes, then another one called software developement, then requests or something like that, as long as software development and skins are separate that would be great, because I see that some some software developers disappeared just because their threads got buried by a tremendous amount of skins.

[Genius2000]

Not sure if its any better/worse then the SPB suite but here's another possible. PhoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html).

Thanks for your suggestion, I took a look to PhoneAlarm an PocketZenPhone features, but none of them fits my request :) First of all they do too many things, second none seems be able to switch profiles for a choosable time, of course you can set every program to automatic or time based switch, but I'm looking for a really really simple profile switcher. I owned many nokia phone, and every one was able to do this simple action, I.E. switch to meeting for a hour then back to normal.

C++ is faster and more responsive, but C# .NET is easier to use IMHO....

MSDN is the easiest way to find things out though...

Hi,
I would like to re-ask a question that I already asked, me and other people, without success.
The tasks app of WM6, when applies a filter for active tasks just make disappear the completed tasks. Meanwhile the task app of WM5 and previous, when you filtered the active tasks just showed you the tasks with a start date before to the current day or the tasks without a start date.
Besides the today plugin still considers as active the same amount of tasks that would be shown with the tasks app from WM5.
In consequence, it is quite annoying to work now with this formerly useful app.
Has anyone a solution?

I really want to thank you all for using this thread. I was doubtfull when I made it, but its doing good. Searching is getting easier, thread by thread!!! :)

Heres my question though:
Is there any possible way to configure S2P(slide 2 play) to work with HTC Home Plug? I would really love to be able to use it instead of the Audio Manager or WMP. I dont know if there would have to be a program designed to make the buttons (rewind, pause, etc) work correctly, but it would be really great, and I'm sure alot of ppl would enjoy this as well. Thanks in advance.

ALSO, I just now started PM'ing ppl to let them know there answers were posted. Hope this encourages you all to use this thread more.

apologies for this, that may seen a dumb Question, but i am compleltey new to this and cant seem to find the answer anywhere else.

I was given an ASUS p550 (well Vodafone V1520) thru work and had to give up my HTC wizard :-(

I cant seem to find a 6.1 rom for it. is there any reason why i cant use an HTC rom for it or are they model specific?

thanks in advance for not laughing at me too hardily and i hope i can get some help.

regards richard.

[TweakMan]

Sorry man, but I'm pretty sure all are for specific devices. Touch rom wont work on moguls and vise versa. So I dont think any will work on yours unless its for your device specifically.
Hope that helps.

But Also, No question you post in this thread is stupid, and you will not be flamed or put down for it what so ever. That is why this thread was created. You done your part and didn't start a new thread, so you wont be jumped on here.

Post again any time!!!!

I own an Htc Touch XV6900 anytime i do a soft reset and i make a call my volume setting is always one notch down from being set at the loudest. I have to always set my volume to loudest due to working in a loud environment.

If the TCPMP that is out right now doesn't work, then Im pretty sure theres not a version of TCPMP out for the diamond specifically. There is however a version on this forum, tha is made specifically for WM6.1 cooked roms. If I was you i would try that. Post back and let us know if it works. I would post the link, but Im not sure of it. It's in this section, a few pages back by now, but its there.

Also, if you post a question again, make sure to PM me the post number. It will help keep up with the questions, so yours doesn't get looked over.

really nooby question ...but this driving me nuts & i know its a really simple answer somewhere.

i have accidentally copied all my sim contacts to the phone contacts.
This has created a double up when i open my contacts folder.
where can i find the contacts folder using activesync, so i can delete all the phone contacts & just run off the sim contacts?
i've looked just about everywhere for the folder.

I'm not sure you can delete all your contacts in once....

Just remove your sim card, then delete al contacts in "Contacts", then re-insert the sim card.... That's all....;)

I may be wrong, but on the newest version of S2U2, the weather icon display is automatic once you choose the correct weather app under settings.

Program Files --> S2U2 folder --> S2U2 Settings.exe --> Information: -->

Today's Weather Forecast from --> change this from "off" to the weather program you use.

I made an earlier post, but didnt have the correct info so here it is. I am a real genious with graphic design such as skins, and things of that nature. But a real dope when it comes to programming or things of that nature.

I have a pretty good layout for a skin for the YOUTUBE player. The one I am speaking of is the YouTube Player 1.0.7 by Milesmowbro. I think thats how its spelled, but Im sure you know which one now. I only need the skin files. Nothing else. I'll create them , then post them if someone can help. So please get them to me if possible.

Before I go, I want to thank all of you again for supporting this thread. I didn't think that it would be used this well when I made it. But at this rate, threads will stop sooner or later that shouldn't be there. I really hope you all enjoy the extra effort put into the way question numbers are posted, and the messages sent when you have an answer. A lot of you dont have PMing activated , but if you want, activate it on your account for ppl in you contact or friends list, and add me. This wil help get your answer faster, or at least letting yo know its here. Otherwise just keep check on your visitor messages.

Ive noticed that alot of the senior members are also Posting in your visitor messge when they answer you questions, and I really would like to thank them. But thanks , and please get me those skin files! :)

Hey all,

I got a question.
At the end of this month, I will be going on a longer road trip.
We will be driving in 2 cars and I was wondering if there exists some kind of software that enables communication between 2 Windows Mobile or Java enabled phones.
I don't want to use GSM since it will cost a fortune in Roaming costs.
So I was kind of thinking perhaps Bluetooth or Wifi.

I did find this one: http://www.4pockets.com/product_info.php?p=62
But as far as I can read it requires an Access point in between.

I was more thinking of a software that can set up a type of Ad-Hoc network and use it to communicate.
If it has Video support it would be awsome since the front camera could be used to have real time comm between the two cars. :)

Regards.
Brian.


PS.
Great idea with this QA thread, a suggestion, when listing posts with Questions and Answers on first page, perhaps a quick summary, so to identify If one can answer it without having to search for the post on the different pages.

After doing some research, it looked like using J2ME with MMAPI extensions to send MIDI events would be do-able on a Windows Mobile device running a JVM. However, after trying numerous JVM's (Creme, Jbed, IBM's J9, Sun's Personal Java, etc.) I have yet to find a JVM that implements enough of the MMAPI to be able to make calls to send individual MIDI events. I found some sample code on Sun's site, called MMADEMO, that contained some code that looked like this:

MIDIControl mc = getMIDIControl();
// some notes on channel 0
// 0x90: Note On
for (int i=0; i<niceChord.length; i++) {
// Note On, note number, velocity
mc.shortMidiEvent(0x90, niceChord[i], 127);
}
// some drums on channel 9
mc.shortMidiEvent(0x99, 35, 127); // bass drum
mc.shortMidiEvent(0x99, 35, 0);
mc.shortMidiEvent(0x99, 58, 127); // vibraslap
mc.shortMidiEvent(0x99, 58, 0);
mc.shortMidiEvent(0x99, 57, 127); // crash cymbal
mc.shortMidiEvent(0x99, 57, 0);


I think some of the JVM's I've tried support playing a MIDI file in a player, but what I need to be able to do is send individual MIDI event's similar to what is shown in the above code snippet, not playback a whole MIDI file. So, I guess my question is: Does anybody know of at least one JVM that runs on a Windows Mobile device (other than smartphones), that supports sending individual MIDI event's (either using MMAPI or any other method)?

Hey all,

I got a question.
At the end of this month, I will be going on a longer road trip.
We will be driving in 2 cars and I was wondering if there exists some kind of software that enables communication between 2 Windows Mobile or Java enabled phones.
I don't want to use GSM since it will cost a fortune in Roaming costs.
So I was kind of thinking perhaps Bluetooth or Wifi.



You could use BLUETOOTH connection....
But maybe its range could be too tight....

Correct me if im wrong or im taking your question the wrong way - cant you hold on to the icon for like 2 seconds and options come up -> isnt there a "Remove from List" or somethiing?

Hi. I would like to transfer my 'contacts' from HTC Touch, to another PDA I have... or vice versa... is this possible?

Thanks.

Also, I have a Dell Axim X51V, can I use many of these programs that appear to be designed for phones on the PDA?

[alisto]

So glad to get much info from your website! (http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/serial-protocols.html)
however, When I check my HTC9000(PPC), I couldn't find the two DLLs(serial2.dll & serial3.dll). My PPC's OS is WM6, some info is as following:

Your wireless carrier can do this for you, or should be able to.

If not, backup only the PIM (contacts) data and transfer it with a SD card.
Or, use Outlook.

[TweakMan]

Hey man. I am not really sure I understand your problem, if you have one? But heres what I done. I have the HTC Touch/Vogue 6900 from Alltel. I have been running WM6.1 Custom ROM's on it, so I had to flash back to my original ROM to be able to see what you were talking about. But I searched thru my entire directory using Total Commander, and didn't find those files either. I dont think it's a problem.

But I may have misunderstood your question, if so just let me know and i'll try to help some more. If your just worried about them missing , I wouldn't worry unless you started having trouble. :)

ALSO, If you post another question, make sure to follow the instructions, and PM with the info on your post. Details about what to send are in the first post in the thread. Im not being an a**. Dont take it that way. I only ask you to do this so I can post your question in the first post. This ensures your question isn't looked over, and it helps for future refrence, but thanks and I hope this helps.

[TweakMan]

Some Carriers actually charge for this feature if they do it for you. Alltel charges me $10 every time, unless I know the person doing it for me.

Another option would be to transfer them using your bluetooth, or the beam feature if thats available to you.

[TheChampJT]

could someone kindly send me the text of the mortscript they use to show weather icons in the lower left hand side of S2U2? ive tried several times and cannot get it to ever work. also, if anyone knows of a set of legit icons, id be extremely grateful.

In S2U2 change the weather option to display "UserWeather"

Read this thread to get the file you need, you will also need to install MortScript for this to work. Everything is included in the thread.

Google the forum for icons, just search for "S2U2 weather icons"

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358952

All you simply need to do is, install MortScript, change the file with your location code, and place the files in the correct folder, and now you can see your weather.

Removed: Moved To Diamond App & Oem Thread

[tanalyw]

Hi guys..
I would like to know if there is any good HTC diamond theme for my htc touch?
I tried afew, but they seems buggy. Thanks

[TweakMan]

There are several "Diamond" themes available right now. I've not tried every single on yet ( Im in the process) , but the two I have tried , are rather slow, and very buggy.

But that is expected. The Diamond themes are a work in progress. My personal favorite it the XIAmultitheme. It's by far one of the best looking, and most functional. But it is still very slow, and it's very buggy on my touch. But , it is the one that I will be keeping up with, and waiting on a new release which solves those problems. Once its done, it will be amazing.

There are a couple more on here that you can try, but they probably have some of the same problems. But give them a week or two, and try again. Thats what I suggest. The second release usually is ready to go for me. But look for the one using throttle launcher as well. There towards the front of this section since there new.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using this thread.

[TweakMan]

Removing this question from the list. This app cannot be skinned as far as I know. :(
If anyone finds out different, please let me know.

[TweakMan]

Ive done some researching, and currently there is no program or application that will allow me to interchange the Audio Manager or WMP with S2P on the HTC Home Plug.

I really wish there was a way. It would be nice to use S2P instead of these two apps, and be able to remove the contact tab, and use S2V, or an app of my choice in its place. It would be great even if it only opened the program when the tab was pushed.

But guess I can keep dreaming. At least Im clearing up the unanswered questions board. :(

[Chamuel]

Hi all together,

i am new to your community and wonder if one of you could give me a hint on my problem.

I'm developing a midlet that, among other things, should read out NMEA streams from the GPS receiver in the HTC Kaiser. As i did not find any KVM that supports JSR-179 on Windows Mobile devices i decided to realize this by opening a stream connection to Com4.
I tried this once with IBMs J9 KVM and it worked with no problem. When i tried the same with the Esmertec Jbed KVM i got a "ConnectionNotFound" exception and when i try to list the available com ports with "System.getProperty("microedition.commports")" i get a NULL string back.

Now my question is, doesn't the Jbed support local com connections or do you know any way how this can be realized as for some reasons it would be necessary to use Jbed instead of IBMs KVM.

Jbed Version : 20080222 3.1
OS Version: WM 6 Pro CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

Thanks in advance!

[TweakMan]

Sorry it has took so long to get you an answer on this subject, but I've done a heck of a lot of searching, and dont think there is an application out there to do what you want.

I believe you are looking for a program , that will allow you to communicate with your friend in a different car, without using your actual phone minutes, or carrier provided services? If I'm right, then I'm pretty sure theres nothing out there. I may be wrong, but I've searched and searched , and then searched some more.

What you need is an application like the push to talk feature, but free, and user made. Maybe one of these days it will be out there, but Im pretty sure it isn't yet. This prob wont help but its an idea. I've seen a few programs out there, at least I think this is what they do, that turn speech into text. Most ppl with PPC's have unlimited data and text, so it would be free. You could talk you message into the phone while driving, and only have to hit send. And I actually think there is an app that turns your text messages into speech and reads them back to you. Im not sure, but I think there is one.

Im sorry there wasn't more I can do, but I tried. Maybe you can just grab some walkee talkee's for the trip. LOL :)

[anheuer]

If the TCPMP that is out right now doesn't work, then Im pretty sure theres not a version of TCPMP out for the diamond specifically. There is however a version on this forum, tha is made specifically for WM6.1 cooked roms. If I was you i would try that. Post back and let us know if it works. I would post the link, but Im not sure of it. It's in this section, a few pages back by now, but its there.

Also, if you post a question again, make sure to PM me the post number. It will help keep up with the questions, so yours doesn't get looked over.

I found one that works, but still in development.
very slow and laggy.

Any other ideas for the moment??

No man. Sorry. I dont know anything else to reccomend. If I'm not mistaken, development on TCPMP has been pretty much stopped. I'm almost a hundred percent sure that CORE player will be available for the Diamond.

Have you actually tried Coreplayer yet? I would suspect that if the TCPMP worked, that Coreplayer would as well. All TCPMP is , is a low grade version of Core. If it worked, then core should as well. I'll do some checking the next couple days, but thats what I would think. Dont take my words for it though.

I do know that I'm using core player on my touch. Im running a custom gps rom from ppcgeeks kitchen, and core is working just fine. No lag, no probs. Hope this helps.

but its not freeware.

so before buying anything i always try to see if there is a freeware app who can do the job.

There is Google Maps. That'll interact with the GPS hardware, but it downloads the maps as you go, so should be used with an unlimited data plan/WiFi.

If all you want to do is ensure the GPS hardware is actually working then GPS Test (http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail.asp?id=3170) will do.

Pulling my hair out here.
I've been trying for months (on and off) to change the little keyboard icon for the TouchPal keyboard...it's horrible, but it's the best keyboard I've ever used, but it's embedded in the dll.
I've used icon changers that replace icons in dll files, and ive used dll explorers to try and edit the image, but the only icons found are 2 black silhouettes of the icon and I get all types of errors when I try and replace them. They're in files called 506 and 507, but I just don't know enough to change them.

Pleaase can someone help me lol, this is so frustrating. If anyone can help, I'm using the second version (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-cootek-touchpal-v2-0.html).
If anyone could change it for me I'd be more than happy to donate a bit. I'd like to use the default keyboard icon (shown below) if possible, although I know it needs converting...

Its been proven that you can run professional on a smartphone, you just have to add in some extra features.

Is it possible to do the reverse? Can you run smartphone edition an touchscreened ppc? Alot of us have broken screens but otherwise peachy hardware.

I suppose it would be similar to creating hybrid builds or cooking roms

anyway, interesting about the ROM. Did it work out? Did it work well?

Congrats on 3000th post, by the wayI haven't been on all weekend! :o

I believe it worked alright (well enough to see that the GPS was - at least in part - software disabled). I think what it'll need is the smartphone XIP to be ported to other devices along with the core OS files...

Yes I agree with post 95. None of the current PPC's support USB functions like a laptop. I actually searched and searched for a way simply to get my Touch to read my USB 1gig Flash Dirve. Its not able to be acheived by software , the prob is that the hardware isn't present in any ppc i know of to do this. Hopefully it will be down the road. But all we can do is dream.

Hey guys, I need some minor help here. I started using the New Throttle Launcher yesterday, with the whole Manilla TouchFlo 3D skin/setup. It's by far the best out there right now in my opinion. It's still a little slow, but no bugs that I have found as of yet that will keep me from using it for a while.

But Im having a little trouble getting it setup. I dont think its the theme I'm having trouble figuring out, but throttle launcher. So here goes. When I activate the Throttle Launcher Today Plug, from Settings/Personal/Today/Items, it loads it on my today screen as a plug.
With the Manilla style theme , it has the Icons at the very bottom of the screen.

All of the different tabs (home, weather, contacts) are working fine. I figured out how to get them to work. BUT, I cant figure out wat to do to get the "MUSIC" tab, or the "PHOTO" tab to do anything. When I click on one it says its loading music page, or photo page, but does nothing. Ive tried to find a way to fix it, but cant. I know its prob just a simple settin , but this is my first time with throttle launcher, so please help.

in the setup , or cofiguration, there is a box for the photo section, i think thats what it for, but i've tried using ,s2p.exe, and htcalbum.exe, and all kinds of things. but no luck, and the music section, there is no way to choos a path. Just different today plugs that will come up , when you click the tab. And as far as i know , theres no music player today plugin out there. Can someone please help.

The S730 and Kaiser are essentially the same hardware so hardware compatibility was not an issue with them. You could cook a ROM with the OS parts of a smart phone ROM (SYS and a ported XIP) but with the drivers specific to the device (What's in the OEM folder).

[l3v5y]

Ouch! I hate it when that happens, but I stand corrected. :)USB OTG is a pretty new standard... Very few things at all support it (some Archos players do...) so what you made was a reasonable assumption... I think more devices will probably support it in the future, as what it gives is truly awesome!

You can use PIMBackup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705) for this operation
It's just an exe. Put it in you device, make a backup of your PIM data. Then copy the file it creates to the other device along with the exe. Run the exe in the other device and restore you PIM data. It's really easy to do.

Regarding S2P, when I'm using it to play music (via earphones) and a call comes in, the music is muted (correct behaviour) when I answer the call.

Hi TweakMan!!

I'm glad you like throttle. I'm working on it full time to make it faster and more flexible ;). About your questions, for the images page, you have to select a path containing the pictures on the configurator. To do it just click on the "..." of the "Picture Path" on the configurator and when you've selected the folder (select it, do not open!) click Actions\OK. The path should be selected.

For the music player, you can use Gullum's skined HTC Player as today plugin ;). You can get it here:

But when the headset is pluged in, the sms notifications, alarms etc is ONLY heard through the headset. Only when the phone is ringing, the ringsignal is both in the headset AND the loudspeaker

But I most often have my headset attached to the phone - eventhough it is just laying on the desk. But if the headset is attached, I can only hear the phone ringing out loud.

I've found numerous and numerous junk and scripts that puts it to sleep and soft resets, but I'm looking for something that will turn the device off (as in the next time I press the power button, the device will boot up).

If I missed something on here, please point me in the right direction. I have found a couple threads with people asking the same question, but have never found a thread where it's been solved.

Maybe a stupid question, but i'll start with the most obvious way: You know that when you hold down the power button for a few seconds the device will shut down (after a confirmation), don't you?

Or do you need a program for this, so that you can shut down the device with a mortscript as a given time, or something like that?


Sorry, just noticed your post count - you probably DO know that ;)

Yes I'm aware you can power it off like that. You also have to say yes to a prompt as well as holding the button. I'm looking for a program like psShutxp or a mortscript with a single button touch to do this.

Pulling my hair out here.
I've been trying for months (on and off) to change the little keyboard icon for the TouchPal keyboard...it's horrible, but it's the best keyboard I've ever used, but it's embedded in the dll.
I've used icon changers that replace icons in dll files, and ive used dll explorers to try and edit the image, but the only icons found are 2 black silhouettes of the icon and I get all types of errors when I try and replace them. They're in files called 506 and 507, but I just don't know enough to change them.

Pleaase can someone help me lol, this is so frustrating.

Thanks

Problem solved thanks to mr_deimos. Image of new keyboard icon below, and the dll file is attached if anyone else would like it.

HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369399&highlight=speaker) you go.....;)

Thanks for the answer - but pls explain how that program can help me. From what I read, this program automatically turn on the speakerphone function of the device when an incomming call is received. Or is there something I am missing?

My problem is, that when the headset is inserted in the divice, all sms notifications go through the headset and not through the loudspeaker. So if the headset is inseted in the device, and I am not using the headset, I don't hear when a new sms arrives. To hear the incomming sms, I either have to pull the headset out when I am done using the device, or have the headset pluged in my ears all the time.

[mr_deimos]

I'd recommend the first option - pulling the headset out.
If you use the headset for listening to music and don't like pulling the plug out because each time you do the music starts playing trough the speakers (it was like that in my case), this might interest you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2243093&postcount=478
It will start the music player when you plug the headset in, and close the player when you pull it out. I guess it could also be modified to start playback after plugging the headset in.

ugh thank god, i figured it out...after putting the recipients/contacts in the "To:" section i clicked on 'menu' and 'check names', when i did this it deleted one of the two names for some reason? i then re-entered the one deleted and put a semi-colon (i noticed there was not one seperating like usual) clicked check names again and this time it didnt delete. i hit 'send' and it WORKED!!! WOOOO...after messing with it a few (hundred) more times i figured out my device was not automatically entering the semi-colon after every contact/recipient, so it wasnt reading the 'name' or number at all. ANSWER: make sure u have a semi-colon (;) after every contact to send mass text...-thanks again

Alright guys...not new to these boards...searched and searched for an answer to this both using built in search and google, no luck.

I'm wondering if there's a program similar to psShutxp, or even a mortscript, that will power the device off COMPLETELY.


Okay, i guess i've found a solution while looking for something else :)
On HTC phones, there should be a program PowerOffWarning in/windows dir. Once run, it will display the same prompt you get when you hold the power button.
this mortscript should do the trick:

Run("\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe")
Sleep(700)
MouseClick(80,185)

You might need to tweak the sleep time so that the mouse click isn't simulated before the window appears.
It's not the most elegant way to do it, but it works.

I see the file in \Windows, but nothing happens when executing it. I don't get the popup window.

With all the software out there to soft reset, I'm surprised no one has come up with something to do this....perhaps add it to psShutxp instead of the stupid Turn Backlight Off.

Hi all,

I've still got my Hermes, but been away for a while and back to see loads of lovely new cabs/roms to play with - firstly huge thanks to the chefs (and yes, I do donate before anyone asks).

Sleuth's UC facility has caught my attention in big way.

Flashing a new ROM is a time consuming business (for a noobish like myself). Cooking one takes me even longer.

I'd like to know what is the benefit of having an application in ROM rather than installing it via SDConfig ?

The only things I can think of are:
1) OS must keep a record of installed CABs - is this also true of CABs installed via SDconfig and is the resource used (memory) negligible ? i.e. Somewhere the "uninstall" info must be kept?

2) Does the ROM take up a fixed portion of memory (i.e. if the flashed ROM is not very big, then there's a load of unused storage which is inaccessible)? I know what the RO in ROM stands for, however most chefs publish how much free storage you get with the ROM's which would imply that a smaller ROM frees up more usable storage.

Where I'm coming from with this is if there is negligible difference between putting apps in ROM versus loading via SDconfig, then (for me) I may as well have the lightest ROM's possible and manage the apps via SDConfig.

It's much easier for a noob like me to manage CABs and config files than run through the Kitchen (although not detracting from the kitchen's, they are great).
Would also mean you could move the SD cards between devices (for apps) and add exactly the same apps.

Hope this thread makes sense, but from my limited understanding, this SDconfig of Sleuth's could change the face of cooking?

Thanks guys & apologies if I'm talking nonsense!

Hi

I'm runnig really low on available RAM (Datenspeicher - 2.17MB) on my Touch Elf. I think this is mainly due to the fact that I've installed almost all of the SPB-Apps. But since I really love those apps I'm looking for another way to free up some RAM. Could you give me some tips? Would it be possible to delete some apps that are in the ROM (since I'm using mobile shell I don't really need the cube) and would this free up some RAM?

In ROM means there is no need for a cab file, and things can be tighter integrated. But: if an update to that software comes out, you need to recook the ROM.

The only things I can think of are:
1) OS must keep a record of installed CABs - is this also true of CABs installed via SDconfig and is the resource used (memory) negligible ? i.e. Somewhere the "uninstall" info must be kept?
That is neglible memory wise. What is a bigger memory issue is that if you make an OEM pack and leave the initflashfiles as they are, you are left with two copies of all the files (one in \Windows, and the other in the default install directory of the cab).
2) Does the ROM take up a fixed portion of memory (i.e. if the flashed ROM is not very big, then there's a load of unused storage which is inaccessible)? I know what the RO in ROM stands for, however most chefs publish how much free storage you get with the ROM's which would imply that a smaller ROM frees up more usable storage.In theory, the smaller the OS part of the ROM (Read Only Memory - misleading, but it's what get's flashed onto the ROM part of the devices memory) the more space you get. However, some devices do not perform quite like this...

Where I'm coming from with this is if there is negligible difference between putting apps in ROM versus loading via SDconfig, then (for me) I may as well have the lightest ROM's possible and manage the apps via SDConfig.If you don't want to mess around with initflashfiles, and tweaking the registry (and have a large memory card) SDConfig is the way to go.

It's much easier for a noob like me to manage CABs and config files than run through the Kitchen (although not detracting from the kitchen's, they are great).
Would also mean you could move the SD cards between devices (for apps) and add exactly the same apps.

Hope this thread makes sense, but from my limited understanding, this SDconfig of Sleuth's could change the face of cooking?

Thanks guys & apologies if I'm talking nonsense!The cabs and SDConfig can be swapped with the memory card. SDConfig is very useful, and has been around a few months now, but I think the point of it is User customisation, so if you release your ROMs, I'd suggest trying to reduce the amount of reliance you as a chef have on UC.

Thanks a lot for your inputIf you feel like flashing a ROM, flash a "Clean" or "lite" ROM. This will have more space for software, and will normally have more free RAM at start up.

Also, try something like oxios hibernate to free some RAM.

As the finger-friendly programs pop out every day, and I was wondering why there isn't still a simple and touch-style alarm program.

The most finger-friendly program I tried was Spb Time, it's very easy to add a new alarm. You simply make a long press on close to the exact time you want your alarm, and u can move it easily with your finger.
BUT - the programs takes a HUGE amount of memory, sometimes more than 1 MB of ram, something inexplicable of a simple program like that.

I also tried FizzAlarm. Nice concept, but it's 1000 years far from being finger-friendly. I simply didn't like it.

Any other recommendations? All I need is a program which adds an alarm as easily as possible, with possibility to more than 5 alarms a day. Sort of Spb Time "lite". Nothing too complicated

Hi,

I just tested a ROM that had some very nice skins for some of the HTC applications. But the ROM itself was unstable, so I have to flash with another one. I want to copy the skins for these applications to my new ROM, but I don't know wich ones. Anybody that can help me?

I want to copy the files I need to keep the skin from these applications:
-End Button
-Dialer & Call History
-Comm Manager
-Random Access

Thanks

[oseven]

Right, I wanna skin my Comm Manager as it's the last thing on my list to complete my theme. Like the rest of my theme though, I want to include the text within the image so that it looks smoother, so I have 2 questions:

1 - How do I disable the text for each button so that it's blank? I've deleted the text from the registry files but from the error message I get when I then open comm manager I'm assuming it's not possible via that method, as they're required for the fuctioning of the app.

2 - How can I use my own images? I've tried overwriting the ones in \Windows using Resco Explorer, but it doesn't work. Am I correct in assuming they are part of the ROM? I'm guessing there must be a way though otherwise there wouldn't be skins available...

And a kind of side question...is there a background image associated with comm manager aswell? As far as I can tell there are only image buttons but I don't know what file name to search for.

If anyone could help :)
Thanks

About mortscript - additional answer to post #110
think of it as the Windows Mobile version of Batch Files for DOS. Its used to run scripts that can achieve the desired result
Pretty close description, but it's way more powerful than old DOS batch files, it's more like linux shell scripts. It's really easy to use and learn, since it's rather forgiving on the formal (syntax) side (for example you can as well use command Run("program.exe") as Run "program.exe" ), and is a great way of running multiple programs with one file, but as you learn it it can be used as something more like a programming language since it can do really much even by itself - read and write files, connect to the internet and download files, send keystrokes, etc. And if you combine those options with ability to run and control external programs - possibilities are endless.

[levenum]

dinscurge: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1037909) You do not use the emulator to develop for WM.
It just emulates devices so you can test your programs without using an actual phone / PDA.

To develop a program you need to create a "smart device" project in VS.
In the 2005 version this option was available in the full VS only and not in the express version.

I have not tried 2008 but the situation may be the same.

Regarding your copyright question:
It is my understanding that you want to use someone else's work in your game?

If you can do so or not depends on several things:
1) The license under which the original work is published. Some works are published under licenses such as "common creative" which allow free use for non commercial purposes.

2) The "fair use" clause of the relevant copyright law. (In many countries you are allowed to make use of copyrighted work for parody, review etc without need for special permission).

3) The mood of the owner. Best way to act in such situation is to ask the copyright holder if you can use the stuff or not.
This will clear up any legal confusion.

Hi,

I have benefited from the great work on everyone on this forum. The programs that people come up with here are really amazing.

I am wondering if any has come up with a program that gives animation, or a fade, as you close one program and open another. I know that throttle launcer and ultimate launch have animation between tabs, and when the home screen come back on. What I am looking for is something that makes a fade appear everytime you open a different program.

In other words, pointui has great transitions between menus and the built in contacts program. But, when you touch the icon to open your messages the default outlook program pops onto the screen without a transition. It would be neat if there was a program that created a default animation every time the screen is redrawn between programs, etc.

I tried the google search on the forum but couldn't find exactly what I described above. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Randy

Ok. I will try and be as specific as I can. I have only seen a couple of .cab operations. I downloaded the iphone application. It works only when I select it in the file explorer page after the start menu. Upon selecting that skin, I try and go into the 12 icons on the home page, and when pressing one, they say that there is an error with loading them. The battery icon works, as well as the calendar. They dont look like the iphone apps when I go into them. It seems as if the iphone skin just looks good, instead of actually working like an iphone. From the pictures that the guys on this website have fully functioning iphones (damn near). Their browsers look like the iphone, as well as contacts, etc. Do I delete everything and if so, where can I get everything done right??

@guru

What launcher and apps are you trying to install?
There is no "one-step" install for the theme, you basically need a launcher, like iFonz, then use certain apps, that are finger-friendly

Here is a list of, in my opinion, the best to use:

ALL APPS CREATED BY THE GOOD PEOPLE OF XDA!

Contacts: PocketCM or iContact
Calendar: ThumbCal
Launcher: iFonz, iTask, FreeStyl (just updated I believe), or my personal fav UltimateLaunch (not free but worth the money)
Browser: Opera Mini (free, but you need to install MIDlet Manager, also free), SkyFire (but don't bother really), or Opera 9.5
A_C's S2 Suite: S2U2 (screen locker), S2V (Photo Viewer), and S2P (Music Player)

If you want to add extra functionality, you can use FTouchFlo, this will enable you to move through certain apps, basically it will reduce the need to use the stylus.

Also, to add more to your theme, find some wallpapers, Themes (.tsk), and icons, they are all over.

That's just the basics, once you read up on the threads about these apps and what you can do with them, you will have a kick ass phone, trust me!

Update for iFonz???? What was the exact message? If not try FreeStyl, I used that for quite some time, not bad, closest free launcher to iFonz.

Wisbar is really just an app that adds extra features to your phone and custom themes, unless you plan to use an already created Wisbar theme, don't bother.

Currently, there is no special SMS app created, for now just use the original, or try shogunmark's Threaded SMS, really nice, but I could never send MMS with it.

For the rest, just use the search feature up at the top :D!

Look for:
"iContact"
"ThumbCal"
"MIDlet Manager"

The one for ifonZ said that it was an error because it needed an updated version. Im trying to find a browser and i contacts now... besides the iphone skin, what else do i need? and if and when i get it, how can i keep it as my home screen?

[TheChampJT]

Everything you get from the forum will most likely have instructions included, to keep items on your today screen, you need plugins. Most launchers you will find are "external."

The best advice to give you for finding what you want is look at the threads for the apps i mentioned before. Almost every thread you come across will somehow tie up with another thread, and on and on. So just do some browsing and before you know it you will have everything you need.

We are all here to help, but finding the theme that fits your phone, and most importantly you, will take some reading up to see everything that's here.

Some simple steps:
1.) What kind of theme do you want? Eveything on today screen or external launcher (today screen will be faster most likely)

2.) Do you still want iPhone? There are tons of threads created with custom themes by users.

3.) Find general apps you will use, there are so many apps on here it is rediculous. Sometimes just looking at my installed apps, I can't help but laugh at the fact I still have 75MB of memory.

4.) System tweaks and graphics. Once you have found all your items, adjust every setting the way you like.

[guru8]

Oh okay... I downloaded the midlet manager, but have no idea on what its used for... now, im going to find i contacts with the back button like the iphone..

[guru8]

and where do i find plugins?

I'm looking for a for a video player that can do AVI, but with a finger friendly interface. AC's S2P does a terrific job of turning the WM phones into iPods. The only piece I'm missing is a video player that's finger-friendly.

I have tried TCPMP, and WMP. Anything else out there?

one thing u could do is try finger friendly skins like this (http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/06/10/touchflo-manilla-touch-diamond-windows-media-player-skin.html) for those applications..and Ftouchflo (http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/03/29/ftouchflo-v141-finger-scrolling-for-windows-mobile.html)for scrolling

[the0ne]

Alright guys...not new to these boards...searched and searched for an answer to this both using built in search and google, no luck.

I'm wondering if there's a program similar to psShutxp, or even a mortscript, that will power the device off COMPLETELY.

I've found numerous and numerous junk and scripts that puts it to sleep and soft resets, but I'm looking for something that will turn the device off (as in the next time I press the power button, the device will boot up).

If I missed something on here, please point me in the right direction. I have found a couple threads with people asking the same question, but have never found a thread where it's been solved.

Thanks.

Hold down the power button for a few seconds , it will ask u for confirmation if u wnat to shut down ur device , select yes and that will turn off ur PPC.

My personal suggestion would be to link poorlyduck's WM skin to his thread.

[TheChampJT]

The MIDlet manager handles .jad/.jar files, you can use it to download games and a few other apps, I use it only for Opera Mini. Since you have that installed, point your browser to operamini.com, be sure to download the signed version, the MIDlet manager will install it for, just follow the steps.

For the plugins, there everywhere.

To list a few:
UltimateLaunch
AudioManger Plugin
HTC Home
GPSToday
Spb PocketPlus
Metrix
Battery Status
I'll stop now, don't want to overwhelm you.

Hi does anyone by chance know of a program or utility that could display not only a particular colour but also its hex and/or RGB values?

Hi guys,

I've attached a zip archive containing 2 small animations made for flash, something easy and really fast. My question is:
can anybody change the textures I've used for my animations using flash (for example replacing the .bmp I've used with a contact photo to texturize the model)? In that way we could have a sort of contact applet similar to the touchflo 3d one...
I'm a 3d modeler not a flash guru, so please help...

cheers

Another question from me!

Is there a application or any way to make a new sms appear on the today screen? I'm thinking if I assign a shortcut to an button for example, the new sms(s) appear on the today screen so I can read them. Some softwares have a function like this, but I have to use the today plugin and then click the message to get the preview.

Thanks

I use SPB Diary for the calender, however it has tabs and one of the tabs is for messages. If I read your question correctly, the software does what you want. In other words, you can have the messages notify via the calender tab OR use just the messages tab and have the messages displayed.

I would suggest you download and give it a trial. (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/diary/?en)

OK thanks, I didn't know if that was a 1 step cab or the install that everyone was saying you had to go through all of the steps with.

EDIT: After going back and reading again, that IS the cab that everyone is saying to be aware of and to follow all of the steps. If you read the thread, someone mentions trying to make a one-step cab and that's what I was asking about. Thanks anyway though.

Odd. When I used Mobile Shell, the cab install worked for me. Why not just go through that install process instead of waiting for a new cab?

Hi,

you have to provide the contactname to go2contact including double quotes (").
Your Mortscript will launch go2contact like this: go2contact.exe AAA BBB, without any quotes, the quotes you used just tell Mortscript "a string is inside these quotes".

In order to do what you want you have to provide the quotes within the string.
In most languages (java, php, ...) you would do something like this: "\"AAA BBB\"" where the double quote behind the backslash s passed to co2contact.

Now to the solution of your problem :-)

In Mortscript you have to enter double double-quotes within the string, e.g.:

Run( "\Program Files\go2contact\go2contact.exe", """AAA BBB""" )

The first quote is interpreted as the beginning of a string, the next 2 quotes are interpreted as a double quote within the string and so on.

I hope this helps you out.

Cheers.

Hello.

First of all, I'm sorry for having posted a thread with this question. I haven't seen the questions & answers thread before.

I'm trying to make a phone call from my application, and it works, but when it calls, it opens the dialer of my pda, and when i hang up, the application doesn't recover the control. I'd like to make a call without giving control to dialer.

I've been using PhoneMakeCall, and I've seen the cedialer sample from windows mobile 5 sdk, but I'd like to know if there is an easier solution than this last one.

Thank you very much.

Photo album there is a very good program by A_C here it is S2V

for Music plugin : HTC music Plugin , or better : Pocket Player (I Have this one ) not free but really very good) , or spb ToPlay

@TweakMan:

Why not simply create a sub-forum "Questions and Answers"?
Threads beginning with [Question] aren't solved yet and threads with [Solved] are, you guess it... solved ;-)

I think this would make more sence, this thread will become bigger and bigger, someday the only thing you'll do is browsing through this thread ;-)

Another advantage: When I open this subforum I can directly see the title and immediatelyknow if I could help or not. No need to browse through a large amount of pages...

Just my 2 cents.

Hi,

I'm searching for a method to backup my favorite contacts in PocketCM.

I didn't find anything in the registry. I compared two dumps of my registry, one before adding a contact, one after adding one to the favorites, so the reg should be clean.

PocketCM is built into my ROM, so there is no directory for it in my Program Files directory. Thus I looked into my Windows directory and found this file contacts.cache.txt.
Here in front of every favorite contact is a bool value 0/1 for favorite/not favorite. Changing a 0 to 1 also adds this contact to my favorites, but after deleting this file this tweeked contacts aren't favorites anymore, the normaly added ones are still there.

So, where else is this information stored? I can't find anything.

Thanx a lot.

Do you have touchfloconfig installed if not find it, probably on these forums, if you do have it installed then go to Star/Programs/Ftouchfloconfig/Gestures and set up how you like.

Hi,

i'd like to try to use built-in voip on my x51v with Lennysh ROM. I saw the thread "{SOLVED} How to configure VoIP/SIP client in WM6" which mentions missing dll's on some models but it didn't work. Lennysh explained me that there are additional, basic phone related dlls also missing on the x51v, and he advised against it because it would mess up the ROM. However, I thought, why not give it a try?

1) what dll's are necessary to make VOIP work?
2) Would they mess up my rom, or work at all on an x51v?
3) where could i find those dlls, to give it a try?


Thanks in advance!

[kevystyles]

Hello,

I'm probably asking some basic questions here, but I've been searching and reading up on Extended_Rom what I would like to know is the following;

If I choose to unhide Ext_Rom and I am able to modify it after making a backup of it to the PC, by removing the useless cabs and leaving the essential setups like '3 Mobile' carrier settings or what not, am I able to restore this backed up Ext_Rom to the phone again later if I choose to hard reset and restore this phone back to factory '3' ?

Also a question regarding hard reset, a couple of days ago I decided to do a hard reset, had the Dopod 838 Pro for almost a year and after trying so many wonderful applications on here my phone started becoming sluggish so I decided to hard reset and only install the applications I found useful, when I hard resetted the phone, a white screen appeared and decided to sit there and do nothing until I chose to do a soft reset, is this normal?

Now before anyone flames me I know that if I hard reset and then when the phone is about to install it's 'necessary software' to soft reset again to put the phone on factory standard (i.e. minus the 3 mobile carrier branding etc.) I wasn't sure if this would void my warranty. If I had done that when I chose to hard reset, say hypothetically if I wanted to hard reset again would I be able to reload the 'install necessary software' stage again?

Not sure if I am clear on my questions but hopefully someone can help me out here.

Thanks!

Dear bros,

I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.

Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.
This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:

The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help :)
I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.

Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.

Thanks once again!

Cheers.

Sounds like you have a Mortscript that runs on startup. And it sounds like there's an error in the code for that script.
Can't say how it will affect the PPC - something that should be running is not running.

Is there anyway for when a sms msg comes in and the baloon comes up saying you have a msg that when you hit reply it opens the pocketcm instead of default txting window

Thx in advance

[bananasplitkids]

I used to have PocketCM on my 8525 and I really liked it, but I did not like how I couldnt get my contacts from my sim card. Is there a similar program that can import my contacts from the sim card?

hi,i have seen a lot of modification of the SPB home screen tabs become 5 tabs,so are those modified SPB still can change the tabs by swiping the screen for all the 5 tabs???

Every layout is different, some have multiple of each tab, so two contact pages, or two for apps. So, when you swipe, you may get stuck between the two pages of a single tab, then you'll have to tap the tab icon. But, some of the themes, off the top of my head, Greatbal's diamond theme, has a few layouts. I believe the "C" layout will give you a continuous flow, only one page per tab.

Might be a dumb question, but which are you using? My Touch didn't come with the Action Screen stock, so I was wondering which one your using, in fact, I'm not even sure if their are different builds, but I do know there are a few variations floating around here.

Also, poorlyduck did one in his Vista Suite, he may have an answer for you.

Hi,

I'm looking fo a software that backup the SMS in real time, not scheduled once or twice a day

I mean that the SMS received and sent are stored elsewhere from the poutlook as they arrive

I mean it stay in memory loaded as a service or something like that and when an SMS is sent or received (a new entry in the database) the software will just store it in a text file a something like that

I don't mean a complete backup but one by one...

Is there a way to do this ?

[abdelrahim]

I have a strange problem in my xda stealth wm6(yuc)....when I go to setting>>remove programs , I STILL find the names of many programs which I HAVE ALREADY DELETED FEW MONTHS BACK!!!!.....These programs are actually not found in my program list ....when I try to remove them from remove programs setting, it gives an error message....I have tried to remove these by using pocket mechanic but they are not there in installed programs list !!!

Is there a way to do this ?It could be done programatically...

I can give it a shot tomorrow! Few questions:
would you want the SMSs stored as a single file, or as individual ones for each SMS.
Would you want them restorable?
Would you want outgoing as well as incoming SMSs saved?
How much info would you want about the SMS? (date, time, sender etc)

The basic, saving an incoming SMS as a text file with basic details and no restoration shouldn't take too long!

I think Individual file is a good way (with the today storage card volume)
Restorable .... I don't know... I don't need it
Incoming AND outgouing SMS saved with date to be ale to have chronologie
For the informations.... the date/time, the sender, the destination of each sms

The best would be to compress the archive... the text is well compressed... or scrambled (simple like XOR) if someone find the phone or the storage card...

To simplify.... an exec to lunch the service, an exec to stop the service, a file to configure the service. No GUI, no message or directly in a text file. In that way the App would be very light then.

You're a master ....

Blackberrys hotlink phone numbers, email addresses, and url's automatically out of the box. MarkNDial and TreoSelectText do this on POS but you need to select the text first. I can't find anything to do this on WM. Does it exist?

For those of you not familiar with MarkNDial for the Palm OS, it allows you to highlight a phone number (in a task for a calendar appointment) and dial it directly.

Does anyone know of a similar app for WM (expecially one that works in Notes)? Any help would be appreciated.

What is needed needs to be as simple as a click or 2. Selecting items is too much against my Treocentric ease of use. On Blackberrys it auto recognizes phone numbers, email, and url's in its notepad and other apps out of the box. Scroll to an item, click it, and it asks if you want to do the selected thing. One more click executes the instruction. Beautiful it its simplicity.

I have hundreds of numbers in notes I started in my Blackberry days for contacts I use infrequently so as to not clutter up my Outlook contacts, then I carried them over to my 700wx and found out that this functionality was sorely missing (not a big surprise for WM, but where are the third parties here). I am now a WM/Treo convert and am longing for the 800w.

The pending arrival of the 800w has renewed my interest in perfecting my Treo device and I would love to see this super efficient function added to WM to make the 800w even more useable then it will already be. Of course your device may vary but this would be a boon to all WM devices.

So is there anything out there like this or anyone to write it? I would gladly pay for a program or a script to fix this WM annoyance.

I like my Treo 650, and I am not upgrading yet - personal choice, nothing more. But recently I ran into a snag while looking for a replacement for my aging Jabra.

I tried out several replacements and settled on the New Jawbone. (I sometimes deal with PCs in very noisy locations and it works very well at filtering out the noise.) It works well, with one exception - it shuts itself off after 15 minutes of no activity, and it shouldn't.

After much discussion with the people at Jawbone, and after trying the ear piece out with other phones it would appear that the problem is with the 650.

The 680 does not have this problem. From what I have read it seems quite likely that the 650 and 680 use similar, if not identical Bluetooth hardware, but different software. In fact, there are more files associated with Bluetooth (BT) on the 680 then there are on the 650.

I, of course, tried the easy way out first and replaced all of the BT files in the 650 with the 680 ones. This caused the 650 to reboot continuously. If I held down the up arrow, for safe mode, I could access the phone, but not turn it on. Pressing the home key caused a reboot.

I can see, from reading in various forums that some people have succeeded in upgrading the BT software in the 650s, but I have yet to see a description of how they did it and what files they used. However, most posts about BT on the 650 are from 2005/2006, in archives. I would not expect to be able to post to most of them, and I would expect even fewer responses - that is why I am here.

This is what I know about the files, right now:

680: --------------------------------------- 650:
BtCommVdrv.prc ----------------------- BtCommVdrvLib_Device.bprc
BtCommVdrv_enUS.prc --------------- BtCommVdrvLib_Device_enUS.oprc
-------------------------------------------- BtDeviceLib_Device.prc
BtDunMgrLib.prc
BtDunMgrLib_enUS.prc
BtExgLib.prc ---------------------------- BtExgLib_Device.bprc
BtExgLib_enUS.prc ------------------- BtExgLib_Device_enUS.oprc
BtExt.prc -------------------------------- BluetoothExt_Device.prc
BtExt_enUS.prc
BtHandsfree.prc ----------------------- BtHandsfreePnl_Device.bprc
BtHandsfree_enUS.prc --------------- BtHandsfreePnl_Device_enUS.oprc
BtHsmLib.prc ---------------------------- BtHsmLib_Device.prc
BtHsmLib_enUS.prc
BtLib.prc -------------------------------- BtLibLib_Device.bprc
BtLib_enUS.prc ------------------------ BtLibLib_Device_enUS.oprc
BtManager.prc ------------------------- BtManagerApp.bprc
BtManager_enUS.prc ----------------- BtManagerApp_enUS.oprc
BtManPnl.prc --------------------------- BtManPnl.prc
BtManPnl_enUS.prc
BtStack.prc ----------------------------- BtStackLib_Device.prc
BtStack_enUS.prc
BtTransport.prc ------------------------ BtTransportLib_Device.bprc
BtTransport_enUS.prc ---------------- BtTransportLib_Device_enUS.oprc


The files (above) are arranged to indicate which files are equivalent to each other and which ones have no equivalent. While the file names themselves are different the internal names are near matches. While I do not know what the changes are to the files, on the 680 the "bprc" equivalents are slightly larger then their match on the 650.

The "oprc" equivalents are nearly identical to each other - same internal name, same apx. length, but the code is different.

I am not attempting to get new features on the 650, I just want the improved BT of the 680, if that will only cover the features the 650 has now I will be happy. I do not use my 650 for DUN or anything.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
