Very nice little app! Maybe, integration with Diamond Tweak by Montecristoff (in order to set your prog, as a left soft panel at Manila), could be interesting!

Thank you for your work.

[maxpain]

nice app

could you add option to choose appointment date from month view ? (by one finger tap) ?

f.e. insted 3 first scrolling buttons

thanx for your work

Thanks for your feedback.

I'm working to integrate this app with standard Calendar. I think the better solution is to replace default "new appointment" form with my application when you click on "new appointment" of the Agenda menu.

[Blob8me]

:cool: Just installed and already tried it - works really well :) Thanks for sharing your hard work......

It would be great if this could be either made into a stand-alone Tab or even linked in with the work D-Man666 has already done on the Calendar Tab????

Good luck and keep it comming!

[ascorpion]

Really usefull app but... When i tap on ^ to chose date on next day it goes down for example from 9 to 8 and it should go up. am i right?
anyway good job

I'm not sure to understand... (sorry for my bad english)
All the "^" button decrease values (ex. day 9 to 8, houre 12 to 11...) and all the fields (day, mounth, year...) are totally indipendents.

[crocodile010]

Really useful nice app. Many thanks.

I attached it to left key of Second Today and launching it instead of standard Calendar from this place.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Open="Program Files\GekoNewCal\GekoNewCal.exe"

Then soft reset.
I'm thinking of adding it to "Exclude" in task manager for launching it quickly, but dunno if it would drain much battery when in background.

[El_Mariachi]

Lovely app!

[crocodile010]

Update.
I tried to exclude the app from removing it from memory but "Cancel" option always shuts this app regardless if it is on "exclude" list or not.

[Omar68]

Thanks for your feedback, crocodile010!

Yes, you are right, I defined that "Cancel" button shuts the application to reduce battery and memory usage.
If is more useful I can change this behavior in the next version, maybe with a messagebox that ask "Close or hide" app.

[koven]

Maybe integrate it with the calendar tab in manila

[crocodile010]

Thanks for your feedback, crocodile010!
If is more useful I can change this behavior in the next version, maybe with a messagebox that ask "Close or hide" app.

I think that as few messageboxes as possible is essential as this app really should help to adding appointments in hurry. No need to click more boxes than necessary.

Maybe the suggested option with adding it to exclude list will be enough to let everyone choose if he wants to close it after every use or keep it in memory.

But again, well done.

[curious george]

What do you think of adding some annimation to the wheel? Like maybe flicking the wheel and showing it spinning through the dates?

The ability to set an alarm or noise and how far in advance to alert of the appointment?

Length of appointments definable.

Reoccuring appointments. Categories. Status. Attendees.

The ability to set the back ground.

Integration with OEM calendar.

These are just ideas. Thought you might be looking for a little brain storming.

[Riel]

This is the simple version, when you need more you have more time and use original inputs?

[detroix]

yay finally a great looking calendar input app...

was getting sick and tired of missing the drop box and the retarded response on the wm6 platform..

well done!

i wan it on the tf3d!!!

[dickenz]

If you could cover tasks, appointments and to-do's and then integrate it with the standard calendar's data and maybe even integrate it with the Calendar tab from D-MAN666 then I think it would be pretty much a MUST HAVE app.

[giangishanghai]

great looking and very simply!
nice work, thanks a lot!
ciao

[Mkevin]

I tried to find with WinCe cabmanager but don't find answer which file is contains language information?
I suppose it's hard coded in .exe file and it's pictures...
Could I ask you to translate it if I send you translation to russian for each of description?
Thank's forward

To make it work with Fabil Action Screen 9 Btn Diamond v6 just make this overpatching:
HCLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_3\Path and overwrite \windows\poutlook.exe to \internal storage\Program Files\GekoNewCal\GekoNewCal.exe please note that internal storage is directory there you install GekoNewCal and if you install it on device just exclude it from the path that i describe.

- Animations are planned for the next versione, I'm working on it...
- I'm working also on recurring and alarm, but my goal is to keep the app very easy and light.

Thanks for your feedback.

The scope of this application is to add appointments in hurry, during a meeting or when you are talking with a friend. It's an essential tool, if you need enter more info you have to use original form. :)

I'm working also for the spanish and french version... :)

[kutil]

Omar68 very thx for good work. It is helpful app. I will look forward to your new version.

[vijaydesor]

great app - but would def be a must have if integrated into manilla.

One obsvertaion though .... when i press the up arrow, it should increase the values and not decrease the values as it currently does and vice versa

i.e. if time is 10 and I press up arrow, it should go to 11 (goes to 9 in this version)

But still like it :)

I agree with you about integration in Manila but I'm not an expert about it so I need help, all suggestions are appreciates :)

About up/down arrows I'm working to replace static button with some wheels that increase/decrease values sliding the finger. Stay tuned :)

Nice one Omar68

Thanks for sharing.

[Ddriver]

Great work, is it possible a GER version to make?

Greets Ddriver.

[ennoinfo]

Please give me the opportunity to set an alarm:)

[Mkevin]

Actualy IMHO don't waste your time because all things integrated in manila are based on unuseless visualisation of simple function (Calendar just could show real calendar by month) and couldn't be such useful like your app.
To make something additional but look-like and iterface-like it's more simple (for ex. ShutXP or Action Screen)
and actualy it don't use memory and slow speed of interface...
D-Man is already answer you in his topik that it's impossible to make your app integrated in his calendar. His and mun_rus developing could be usefull in the future but first of all it's for visual effects (by the way mun_rus is one of the best russian ROMmakers and I think manila patching it's his hobby):D:D:D

[Omar68]

Great work, is it possible a GER version to make?

Greets Ddriver.

Yes, of course, could you send me german translation?

[curious george]

Omar,

I don't know if you would have been around to remember OtO. It was a One Touch Organizer, calendar + task freeware program that was developed by ArtiCat on this site. Unfortunately, the developer was never able to complete the program but it had a lot of great ideas you may find useful in the development of you program. One in particular was the date scroll wheel with annimation and the ticking sound. At any rate, if you have and old QVGA device setting around somewhere you may want to load it and see what you think. Some of it may or may not be the way you want to proceed with your program but it is atleast some good ideas. Link and screen shots below:

Thanks George,
I remember this app, it inspired me about the look. I'm working to add wheels and animation. I have an "old" Kaiser TyTN II to test OtO app, maybe it will inspire me again... :)

[helpme]

Hi,

this little application allows you to quickly type a new appointment without using the stylus. It's a finger-friendly tool, very simple and easy to use.
For my job this tool is very useful, I hope will be the same for you too!

Disclaimers:
- Only VGA are supported (it's in Diamond theme...)
- English and Italian languages (at the moment)
- Default duration for appointment is 30 minutes
- No recurring meeting supported
- You can only enter object, location, start time and duration (but I think it's enough...)

Thanks you for interesting in and if you like my work please donate (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=5MK5UHC7ZE4VS&lc=IT&item_name=Geko%20Mobile&currency_code=EUR&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donate_LG%2egif%3aNonHos ted) me some coffee I could drink while I develop a new tool for you.

Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you very much!

very nice app. I really hope the all the poorly designed standard form will be replaced by these nicely designed finger friendly one.

[diggy128]

Hi everyone.

Omar how about making the app scroll like the settings tab in manilla?
It would be great to have all the basic fields on the first page (view) as well as the OK/cancel button and be able to flick downwards to have access to more fields.
What do you think?

[ucxoq]

.



Please, make little edition to the app in order we to have GekoNewCal with Appointment, and GeckoNewCal with New Task addition!

interface should be the same but with Priority and Category options for the task.

that would be absolute and more people would use it.
someone needs quick appointments, someone needs quick to-do and tasks additions!

[lparee]

+1

the ability to enter Category for appointment would be great as well.

Great application !!!

[madd_dogg_914]

I had the old version installed, and I saw that in this new version you added the alarm function (you are my savior), but when I installed, it installs in some other language (Italian maybe?). Is there an English cab like there was for the first version?

[boglll]

very nice and useful app! straight to the point!
in next release if possible can you add also a recurrent app by x days? i mean repeating every (i.e.) 6 days. you know, i work shifts...
good work!

Version 2.x has a new resources file for each localisation. In "GekoNewCal" folder you will find "xx_settings.txt" files, for ex: en_settings.txt for english, it_settings.txt for italian version and so on.

Set english language is easy: rename "en_settings.txt" to "setting.txt" (replace default file), close application and restart it. It's all. :)

[bonsaiboyz]

categories added into this would make it perfect (for me at least :) )

hi,

unfortunatly, the program does not work fine on a Samsung i900 Omnia. I suppose, that there are resolution problems;the graphic is messed up. Is there a chance to resolve this? I love the idea of this program.

Program resolution is VGA, I developed it specially for HTC Diamond. Honestly Omnia is not my priority but I'll can consider it (is not a promise ;) )

ok.. you should post a warning on the introduction page...

[MadMax1978]

Works gr8!! I translated it to Dutch..

[crocodile010]

Hi Omar,

nice, again. :)

I went straight on and translated the settings.txt file into Czech. But whoa, the app omits all the local chars. :confused:
I was editing the file on TP with notepad.

see the attached file.

edit: just updated the file and it is attached to my post on next page of this thread.

[Omar68]

You are right, I added a warning...

[gutte]

Nice little app - would help if you could make it work om my HTC Touch Dual running Win Mobile 6.0. Is this a resolution problem, not VGA?
I made a translation to Swedish, but the program does not display the special Nordic characters.
Is it possible that you add "Category" as a variable to set under "Details"?
I too look forward to a GekoNewTask that works on my Touch Dual!

I attach the Swedish translation

Any chance u will release also QVGA version ?
Thx.

Any chance u will release also QVGA version ?

As I wrote to racok, different resolutions are not my priority but I'll can consider it (is not a promise :) ). Code is the same, I must change all graphics element and this required a lot of time for me because I'm not a graphic designer...

[eihtball2]

hey there geko regarding ur app 4 newcal. Could u pls tell me how to get the english version on my phone. Tried tha settings.txt but its still in a different language. Tha app looks cool though if only in english. PS i have tha XDA from o2 which should b same as diamond

[midastocar]

I really love this app!

For quick appointments etc.. this really is the biz.

I think HTC were asleep on the calendar side of things.....

[Omar68]

I have the HTC 6800 and I tried changing the en_setting to setting.txt and it is still not in english Any more suggestions

You must have settings.txt file in GekoNewCal folder. Program searchs to open setting in this folder, if not found it uses internal default language (italian).

[dancer_69]

I just now discover this beautiful application and I translated
to greek(attachment below). I didn't use it at all, just test the translation
but I saw that the "new appointment" text its not centered, appears to the right and only the first 5 letter are visible. Is there any way to fix
this from a config file?

EDIT: Just now read that some people having problems with translation local characters. I have similar problem and it solved
when I save the file in UTF-8. Maybe this is helpful.

Thanks a lot dancer_69! You are right, if you save resource file in UTF-8 format it works well!! I inform everybody in the main page.

I already resized graphics which is in external files. It solved troubles with seting up recurring events and alarm. But some graphic is hardcoded in .exe file :((. Is it possible to extract it into separate files as well .. ? I'll resize it and send it back so u can release qvga version.

[Giannis86]

EXCELLENT program..this should have come with th diamond/Touch Pro :D

now the fun part..figuring how to incorporate it in action screen 9

change this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScr een\APP_3]
"Path"="\\program files\\gekonewcal\\gekonewcal.exe"

[garcia-gonzales]

exactly what i was searching for.
There's just one more thing missing.
The "category".
To select if it's "private" or "office" or anything else.

I select calendars in outlook and have a choice between private, office or all appointments. so it would be grat to have the possibility to define the category right when i add the new appointment with this little program.

Keep up the good work

[Omar68]

exactly what i was searching for.
There's just one more thing missing.
The "category".

[sonnybravo]

Thank you!
Wow, this is amazing! Hope you can put in the integration with the original calendar and task creation!!

One of the best apps around! Keep up the good work!

[pirlone]

looks very promising...
eagerly waiting for qvga version

Thanks for the nice program. Is it possible to add more option for the alarm tab. Some of my appointments/meeting need three days advance notice (meeting held on Monday, I need send reminder to people on Friday:().

[davidd1205]

it's fonctionaly with gmail agenda and oggsync ?

thanks
David

[winwiz]

this is one of the best apps i have installed on my diamond. Bravo to the programmer ! :)

[Omar68]

thanks
David

GekoNewCal add appointment on standard calendar application, you have to synchronize it with gmail agenda or oggsync as normal PocketOutlook appointment.

[skwarek]

Could you please add an option to select all day appoitments

Thanks

[b2btyr]

Great app! I've just have one little feature request:
Can you show the day of the week of the selected date somewere? It's makes adding an appointment like 'next saturday' allot easier. Thanks! You've done a great job.

[Giannis86]

change this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScr een\APP_3]
"Path"="\\program files\\gekonewcal\\gekonewcal.exe"

PERFECT:D


i dont know if this was mentioned before (or if i missed it in the program itself), but there are a few things that i would love to get fixed :D

1
i would like to be able to increase the duration of a task to more than 12 hours..
For example, i wanted to add my vacation to the calendar (which takes 3 days). Geko will only allow me to set 12hours between start and end. So i have to edit the appointment in the normal calendar.

Could we get an option for this?
For example maybe a button which pops up a menu for choosing a different end date.

2
would it be possible to have a version for the touch pro too? when i view the gekocal in landscape mode it doesnt use the screen fully.

3
It would be nice to have the option to disable/enable automatic SIP keyboard. i find that the SIP keyboard is limiting the speed of a new appointment as i have to turn it off to be able to use the details or change the duration & date. (I believe having such an option would greatly decrease the required time on the touch pro)


I hope you consider any of these points. Im loving this application and i would love to see it more developed:D

[tjotji]

is there a qvga version of this app?

[mail@thomasdige.dk]

I have made a few changes to the danish settings.
It is correction of spelling and adding danish letters, where it was needed

[koven]

polish settings, but can't make my WM show PL signs, so it's "n" instead of "ń" and so on

[Omar68]

You have to save your file in "UTF-8" format (Notepad, "Save as...", "Codify" code UTF-8...)

[Harts@J]

Here some notes after installation:
- How about the date format from the system settings? My system date format is dd.mm.yyyy the app shows dd/mm/yyyy.
- Could the recurrence icons be only pics with descriptive symbol without any text?
- The color is standard green, how about blue, red (like Elvelynn's) etc. versions? Many of us has some colored theme.

In generally a marvelous little app. Thanks!

- Date format is defined internally, it could be define in resource file (next version...)
- Icons and graphic objects are external file (.BMP format in GekoNewCal folder), you can modify them as you prefer.

Thanks about that date format.
I know that those are graphics, but I'm a bungler to make pics. It would be nicer that somebody with talent could make them.

[genoso]

Nice application, here you have an spanish translation.

Some comments:

* It takes too long to load, it could be great if load time is decreased
* Could it be possible to launch it from Action Screen 9 Btn Diamond
I answer myself the second one: check how (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2807944&highlight=GekoNewCal#post2807944)

Good news!
But still, is it possible to add New Task functions to your great app?
so we can choose what to create Appointment or Task.
Tasks are important calendar entries too.

There are lots of people here (including myself), having very heavy schedule, and all Appointments and Meetings are clearly predefined weeks and months before they start, and they are not planned spontaneously.
Though tasks are being created/completed every 20 minutes.
Keep up your good work!

[del4]

Looks promising. Didn't see anyone else mention it, but could you add in landscape support for quick use of the hardware keyboard?

Good work man!

:cool: Just installed and already tried it - works really well :)

... even linked in with the work D-Man666 has already done on the Calendar Tab????

Combining these two apps would be fantastic!

Here the text file for Hebrew Translation... thanks to Ronen Peleg!


* because the LTR direction of the programming (in Hebrew I need RTL (Right To Left) direction), it's still look bad, bad but with hebrew :-)

Nice app!

Attached is a Brazilian Portuguese translation.

Congratulations!

[fourcc]

Any progress about the upcoming category feature?
it would be a great feature!

[Treasure58]

Great, easy to use program. It would be perfect if it included support for Categories. Is there any chance that a future version will include this?

[IceEyz]

GekoNewCal 2.0.2. works fine on the Touch HD.

Just installed it and it's all looking good, except that the extra 160 pixels are white instead of black, but that's nothing to worry about. The extra space could be used for more useful things though...

[del4]

Been trying this out and it definitely fits the TF3D theme a bit better and is more finger-friendly than the default new appt screen.

However, I have problems with the start time entry because if you try to increase a value, you effectively block the current setting. Seems like it would be better to put the values on top, with the increase/decrease arrows below.

Also, tapping on the Subject or Location fields brings up the SIP as they should. However, when you tap on the Start field (shouldn't this be shifted to the left BTW and all fields lined up evenly???), the SIP doesn't go away and just sits there blocking the entry area...

Looking forward to the next release, which hopefully will come soon???

[ericsson68]

I like this and it works great for spontaneous appointments if added as the default Add Entry method on the home page.

Couple things missing for me are all days and the ability to add attendees. Even if you can't code the latter in, a way to get through to the standard form with all the items so far filled would be very useful.

Thanks

[nick007]

I love this app on my Touch HD!

Please add the name of the day in your next versions like MON/TUE/WED/THU/FRI/SAT/SUN. This helps to set the right day :rolleyes:

AND: We need the same for our ToDo´s. Please make "GekoNewToDo" :)

Thanks!

Is it possible, and if "yes", what do i have to do to open "GekoNewCal" when I want to make a "new appointment" in the normal Calender of WM 6 or in the Calender of Pocketinformat?

Also request to have the option to have a reminder > 45 minutes for a New Appointment ....

[TimJuPe]

Hi,

nice tool there! Thanks a lot!
But this one little thing batheres me:
Most of my new appointes are like "on next Tuesday!" Or "sunday one week ahead..." - every time i have to search and/or count to the date... so an option that gives me an arrow for Monday, Tuesday and so on would be marvellous!
I don't know if this was mentioned befored - if it is so, sorry for this post!

Merry Christmas guys! :D

[sonnybravo]

Hi Omar68,

Just wondering, are you still working on updates for your magnificent calender app? I really love it!! Would be too bad if this project would dis-continue :(
This app is a must-install for me, every time I flash a new ROM ;)

Here the text file for Romanian version... tested, respekt for sharing
(redenumiti fisierul ro_settings.txt in settings.txt si scrieti peste cel existent)

[varvocel]

Thanks for the great application. It works flawless on my Diamond.

I have two requests too:
first - small (I hope :) ) - daily recurring appointments
and second: tasks.

I'm Pocket Informant user for years and I think if you add some features to your application many users of PI and Agenda Fusion will prefer your app's great touch interface over sophisticated features of other PIM's (or like I plan use PI as second PIM ;) )

[BustedNuts1]

Great program. I really like it, just one question:

Any way to decrease the appointment intervals from half an hour down to like 10 or 15 min?

Like Im trying to make the appointment for 15 min, is there setting to change?

[jolas]

If project is still alive, it would be perfect to have it work in WVGA screens, too!

In order to get the application working in English mode (or other language) you should explore the folder you have installed app to, and rename file "en_settings.txt" to "settings.txt" (replace default file). Close application and restart (same for the other language files).

* Thanks to dancer_69 for greek translation (gr_settings file is in page 8).
* Thanks to NikNak for danish translation (da_settings file is in page 8).
* CAB file contains English, Italian, French translations.
* ZIP file contains CZ, DAN, GER, GRE, NL, NOR, RUS, SWE translations.
* In order to get the application working in English mode (or other language) you should explore the folder you have installed app to, and rename file "en_settings.txt" to "settings.txt" (replace default file). Close application and restart (same for the other language files).
* Important: save your "xx_settings.txt" file in UTF-8 format (Notepad "Save as..." and then "Codify option") in order to have right accents.





And that's what's up!

Hey I just dl this app, and it's great!!!!

Only one request. Is it possible to add an option to make the appointment "private" and add it under a group off appoinments like "work" or so?

But again really great app.

[lacie]

Guys... really.. there are so many questions already answered... just read the whole post, it will cost you less time, than ask.

@topic:
AMAZING App ;)

Some suggestions:
- WVGA Version (it is working, but not using full screen size)
- daily recurring appointments (mentioned before)
- support for task (mentioned before, but pretty PLEASE!)
- Default Manila App. Editor


Some more (for beginners joy)
- default language: englisch
- Maybe a config-app to choose language/other settings

and maybe change the way you choose the time and date.. this uses so much of the screen.

This is only what i would love to see in future :) the program as it is now is amazing... just keep up the good work!

lacie

[jolas]

I'm afraid that this project is 'dead'... It would be very nice if someone can take this application a step forward to include more of our suggestions.

[basbroens]

is it possible to change the black background? would be nice to include a wallpaper to let it blend in with my homescreen.

[peterpan911]

Hi Omar68,

I love this app. Because so many fellows wish to have the same for task-input, is there a big problem to adapt this app (or a separat app) for tasks? Excuse this question, I have no idea of programming :confused:

Peter

[Montesumy]

Is there a way to link the right softkey of TF3D calendar to GekoNewCal?

[yahuto]

polish lang.

[F-Styla]

If project is still alive, it would be perfect to have it work in WVGA screens, too!

Hey,
will you release a WVGA version of this program?

[jolas]

Hey,
will you release a WVGA version of this program?

Unfortunately, I'm not the author of this application, and I haven't the knowledge to make any changes on it.:(

[Thomascarson]

I am unable to get the english version working ?. I have installed the cab on my HTC Hd and followed instructions to change to english version, but will not change the language. Cany ou explain in simple terms and set by step how to change the language. many thanks for a great app

[SavageDeath]

Is this program still alive?? Help us please @author!!
This application ist fantastic and I really missing the categories!!!

Please add a support to check the categories in the programm!!
An option to select a private appointment is also very important for me (and others?)!!



Best Regards SavageDeath

[mcbyte_it]

Well, this is what i was looking for, i made it default shortcut in smabergs ActionScreen (even though that i would much like to have it connected to "New Appointment" link in Manila TF3D, but seems impossible for the moment.

but i think it need a new feature: Show the day name...
When i am adding a new appointment, i can set the date but i see no day name, for example i want an appointment for next monday, but at a first glance i don't know what's the date of next monday...

note:
on my xperia, which is 480x800, i see a lot of blank white space, is it a bug with wvga devices or what?

[itm]

I'm currently a Pocket Informant user - is there a way of configuring PI to use GekoNewCal for new appointment entries?

[Zänker]

Is there anything like this to make the default windows mobile alarma app more fingerfriendly? I know there are some third party alarm apps that are fingerfriendly, but I would like to see just a fingerfriendly interface to set the default windows mobile alarm. I think this is included in tf3d2, which I don't have nor want on my diamond.
Any help would be appreciated!

[SavageDeath]

Hello to everybody!! I'm still alive.. :)

I'm sorry for this long period of absence but I was very busy with my professional job. First of all I would like to thank you all pleople that are using this simple tool and that wrote to me, it's a pleasure to know that GekoNewCal has a lot of users.

For this reason I decided to update this tool, adding most of the features required in this forum. I will start to work on it during my vacation, probably the new version will be available at the end of August.

Stay tuned!

[linrifeng]

it is great,I translated it to "simple chinese"

[mbpiano]

Very nice application- have a touch pro and would be nice to have both landscape and portrait modes availbale since touch pro has a full keyboard...

Hurray!
I'm very glad you decided to update this app, it will probably be the app i will use the most of all! If you really can make this as good as it is now with the feedback and ideas people in this thread gave. i bet thousands of wm users across the world will use it!

I can understand it's hard to combine this with daytime work. but when it's finished it will give you a great feeling! Plus it won't look bad on your resume either ;)

[k1sr]

This app is one of the best ones around...

As with all good apps it perfectly does what MW does soooo badly...

Anyway, what would be great is if when you select the date, the day name is also shown somewhere... the main reason for this is that I might organise to do something 'friday next week' - I then have to work out what date that is... If I could see the day name, I'd know I just have to scroll past Friday once and then stop at the next one - voila 'friday next week'

Nonetheless - beautiful app.

Thanks for your appreciation.

I'm working on new version trying to add all suggestions from this thread. Next version will includes:
- categories
- daily recurrency
- all-day appointment
- different screen resolutions: 240x320, 480x640, 480x800
- skinnable

Second step will be to develop a new Geko application to manage tasks (with some look-and-feel...)

I will spend my holiday to develop this apps.. :)
Stay tuned!

[Repetitor]

Great app, I'm already exclusively using it to make new appointments. Love it...

Would be even better if it was possible to make it so it launches automatically when you choose "new appointment " in calendar. Or implement it in some other way into manila, even better solution, so you don't have to start it as a program on its own. Would that be possible? That would improve overall feel of using this app daily, it would give it more stock feel and improve efficiency when using it (golden rule, don't make the user do more clicking and scrolling that absolutely necessary - you know, click start, go into programs, choose app, or open calendar, check old appointments, close calendar, open programs, open app, add apointment). Maybe it's too much work?

An extra option could also be to implement alarm settings into the app, as WM clock and alarm are also finger unfriendly. Than you could do all your time related settings with this app. (I don't know how much work that would take, as I never tried to do something like this, but these are just suggestions, so hope you don't read it as criticisme to your work)

Great job so far, keep it up!

[SavageDeath]

Hello...
are you still working on an update? ;)

[Omar68]

Yes, of course!

New version will be available in two-three weeks, I'm testing the candidate release and implementing the graphic skins. This delay is because I've decided to re-write the entire application to be more attractive and user friendly. I added also kinetic roller to select the date (iPhone style..)

As I wrote in my previous post, it will include most of the features required and the support of QVGA, VGA and WVGA screen size.

Stay tuned, GekoNewCal is really arriving..!

I've found this application very useful. I miss the spanish translation and I decided to translate by myself. Fins attached the setting.txt file translated to spanish, to be used by anyone who needs it.

Hello Omar,

what's the status of GekoNewCal ;)? Everything allright with the translation?
Best Regars SavageDeath!

[IMGMORLEY]

Thanks for your feedback.

I'm working to integrate this app with standard Calendar. I think the better solution is to replace default "new appointment" form with my application when you click on "new appointment" of the Agenda menu.

Whatever happened to this idea :(

Very nice app.

However, for me, I dont like that the logo is visible like it is. it's way to large and prominent.

[Ciuccigno]

Thank you guys! My mobile phone is 2 years old and has not so many features... I have downloaded the GekoNewCal and it looks great! I will wait for your future applications. Keep me up to date! :D

[Stencil]

Hello everybody! I have seen a lot of comments on forums and blogs about the Geko. It seems that the application is becoming very popular. Congratulation guys! :cool:
The picker is fancy as the iPhone's one, but I also find useful the invitation via SMS that I use with my friends.

Any ideas?

Download the new trial version, it works fine.

When will next version be released? Gekotask still under development?

When will next version be released? Gekotask still under development?

We are working to release the new version 3.1 of GekoNewCal, with a rich list of new features with an improvement of user interface, new graphical skin and new screen resolution of WQVGA (240x400) typical of Samsung Omnia.

GekoTask is based on GekoNewCal, most of the features/screens are the same. We have decided to wait one week more in order to take benefits of news introduced in GekoNewCal 3.1.
We will deliver GekoNewCal 3.1 at the beginning of next week and GekoTask one week later.

[Tatsch]

We will deliver GekoNewCal 3.1 at the beginning of next week (..)
"Next week" means "sometimes in a while" or this week now? :)

[RobertdeHoop]

Looks cook, I wil give it a try. Thanks Mate

Hi,

our delay in the launch was because we are following some rigorous rules to add GekoNewCal in the apps store.

In any case, 3.1 il ready and we will deliver it on Friday (in two days..)
We will inform you on our website and in this forum.

Thanks.

It's Monday, January 25 and still no release ?????

Just one question: will version 3.1 have the option to edit an existing appointment?

[Tatsch]

Version 3.1 is relesead, but unfortunately there are some critical issues.

I used it in my Touch HD (WVGA), and I have the same problems.


And a second disappointment is the lack of the option to edit already made appointments...:(

[SXT82]

Same problems on Samsung Omnia 2. very very disappointing :(

Hi guys,
we uploaded a public beta and not the final release!
Now we have uploaded the right file and the version is 3.1.3680, please download it again.

Sorry, best regards.

You talked about a release before. If you want to publish a beta-version, please write it down.

And I can't find a new version, actually your webppage provides version still 3.1.3677.

[Ciuccigno]

I downloaded the 3.1.3680 version and works fine on my Samsung Omnia II.
Great job! :)

There seem to be still critical bugs in the final version, look here:

Because I am tired to testing all these 'final' releases, could you please tell me if in the last final release (3.1.3685) the bellow problem has been fixed???

(it is from final release 3.1.3681.0!!!!!)

Yes, it solve the problem.
In order to be clear, I tested the app with 3 differents devices (QVGA, WQVGA and VGA) and with the emulator for the WVGA, and all the "final" releases (3677 and 3681) worked fine. It's clear that the emulator has a different behaviour of a real device.

Furthermore, 3.1.3685 introduces two little improvements:
- [NEW] Sorted languages list in the configuration tool.
- [NEW] When opening option tool, the current preferences are selected.

Problem still exists in my Touch HD (WVGA).
It's funny to find out that an updated version is not supporting the same as the previous versions!!!

So, WVGA is no longer supported!!!!!!!!!!

Jolas,

I re-uploaded the WVGA file (same version) in order to understand if something was wrong/corrupted. Please, could you download and install it?

Thanks,

WVGA does not work yet (v3.1.3185), see here with screenshots:

Omar, for now and until you have a version that for sure will work with WVGA resolution, I returned to the previous version 3, that I have to admit that it is a very very nice piece of software!

I have nothing against you, but I think that you already know that this kind of problems with releasing 'final' releases that it is not really final, is not the best thing for the developing group.

As Justin suggested into your site, most of the problems you and we are facing now, would be solved if you have given public beta versions...

Anyway, I know that you are trying hard to fix all of these problems, I will wait for a fixed version and I am willing to buy your new application GekoTask when it will be released. :)

[jolas]

Omar68,

If you like to use and make any alterations you need, here is my skin for GekoNewCal 3.0, that I'm currently use (I prefer better black and white, rather than colors).

Hi Jolas,
issues fixed with the new 3.1.3690 available on www.gekonewmobile.com/download.

Thanks to Justin for a quickly test of this new version and for a correction of German translation.

About graphic skin, this new 3.1 version is more flexible and open to custom skin. We will publish more details on our website to create custom skins, of course users can create their own skins replacing images file.

It's important to maintain the same filename, image size and file format (PNG) in order to obtain the same result (transparency, positioning...).

Exactly same image size? :eek::confused:

"...exactly the same" in order to have an optimal visualization.

The application adapts all images scaling them to fill the right size, but the scaling process is not so accurate than Photoshop...

No possibility to mark the appointment as privat?

You can set "privat" in categories. Because you are german, have a look here. there is a screenshot:

But when I mark the appointment with a category privat it is still visible for my collegues in Outlook.

Yes, you are right. I told just about category "private", it's not what you want to have.

You might suggest it to the author.
