This thread was created to have a single place for walkthroughs, program add ons, icons and FAQ's for iPhone Today made by MiToNiOeS (and now by tronikos).

The disclamer (everything has them now)
ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR PHONE; As with anything that you can do to your phone, if you do somthing wrong, you may have to hard reset (very rare); but if you backup your phone first, you will not loose anything. MiToNiOeS, tronikos and j101399j(myself) take no responsibility if you mess up your phone from doing something stupid. This program in no way can mess up or cause problems with your phone. Now that, that was said, back to reality...:D

Please do not post in this thread unless you have something to add helpful. If you have a question PM me or post it in the iPhone Today forum here:

The Walkthrough

Preparation


FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT: Back up your phone

Updated Feb 27,2010; based off v1.4+

How to install:

1. Start by downloading one of the iPhone_Today.zip files from here (http://code.google.com/p/iphonetoday/downloads/list)


This will install all of the needed files for iPhone Today to work.
If this is an update and you have already installed iPT; backup your icons.xml and settings.xml files. Install the new version and then put your icons and settings files back in.
2. Copy the iPhone Today cab onto your phone.

3. On your phone, navigate to the iPhoneToday.cab file

4. Click the iPhgoneToday.cab file and install it to your phone. DO NOT INSTALL TO THE STORAGE CARD

5. You have 2 versions installed;
a. The exe version is opened like a program (start menu --> programs --> iPhoneToday.exe) This is full screen mode. And it will exit if you press home or end. This works very well with programs that use tabs, like TF3d.
b. Or you can use iPhoneToday as a today plug-in. Go into "Start --> Settings --> Today --> Today items" and disable all other today plugins besids iPhone Today
6. Use the icon and settings UI managers to add/edit icons (See below for UI instructions)
Adding Icons and UI instructions see post#3

How to update:
If you have v1.3 or older; uninstall iPT and follow the directions for a fresh install
If this is un update for v1.4+ then do not uninstall iPT; just download and install the new version. It will ask if you want to save your fles, select yes, and you are good to go,

Advanced Functions

Advanced:

1. There are two great weather script/applictions that display an icon for the weather.

#1 From michoob

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603817

http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1148/weatherinbackground.th.png

#2 from arealityfarbetween

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882110

http://ubuntuone.com/p/YPi/





1 (again). How Create Shortcuts (somewhat advanced)

1. Open NotePad on your PC
2. Type a one line command to what the link points to
a. The number before the # sign is the number of characters after the # sign
b. The text following the # sign is the location of the command
i. If this points to a file, it would look like “\windows\start menu\starfire.lnk”
ii. Since there is a space in the location, use quotations
c. The text after the file location is the paramters for the file; the below example pases the commands to open the SMS account and display it’s inbox location
3. Save the file with .lnk at the end

19#:MSINBOX -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"


2. MY XML EDITOR (more for editing text, link and mscr files)
I was unable to (no matter how much I tired or where I put the files) get PHM Notepad. I did find pocket text editor, which does work. Just copy the files to My Documents, and you can edit it from there. So far it works perfectly and saves the file correctly. File Attached

3. How to create a link to a phone number
I found using vj555 phone tools, you can have an icon call a phone number. You can download the phone tools here:

http://www.vijay555.com/

Just make sure you aim at the dialer.exe and set the phone number as a parameter. For Example

<icon name="Home" image="home.png" exec="\program files\vijay555\vjdialer.exe" parameters="8881234567" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>

When you hit the button, it will automatically dial that number. Remember no dashes in the phone number.

ANOTHER OPTION:
Here is a really cool program that will automatically create the contact links:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555574

oldsap said it perfectly:
Manually creating shortcut files for sms and call sending to specific contacts requires using a text editor (in PPC and PC) and then manually typing text codes and memorizing the phone number for that particular contact, then repeating the same procedure again and again for each contact.

oldsap created a simple application to automate all of this.

4. Create an icon to a website

To create a link to a website, select the program you want the site to open in, in mycase, I use Skyfire. Under the parameters, put the exact website. Here is my icon to this forum.

<icon name="X-divs" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\XDADevs2.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Skyfire.lnk" parameters="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508429" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>


5. Create an icon to a folder

Set the exe file at your file explorer and set the paramaters to the exact location of the file to open. This is my link to my games folder
<icon name="Icons" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\icons.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\File Explorer.lnk" parameters="\windows\start menu\programs\games\" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>

6. Create an icon to a SMS and E-mail
Use the attached e-mail, outlook and SMS shortcut files, readSMS.lnk for text messages, use readHotmail.lnk for hotmail, ReadGmail.lnk for Gmail, and ReadOutlook.lnk ActiveSync e-mails; do not add parameters if you use these links.

Or you can create a shortcut (See #1 above)

SMS
19#:MSINBOX -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"
Outlook e-mails:
54#\windows\tmail.exe -service "ActiveSync" -open "Inbox"
Hotmail
40#:MSINBOX -service "Hotmail" -open "Inbox"
Gmail
38#:MSINBOX -service "Gmail" -open "Inbox"


7. Link an icon to a Settings
Attached are my "settings" shortcuts. These shortcuts take you directly to settings and functions on your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3858415&postcount=547

I have also attached an all-settings-link zip file that contains all the settings available. They do not have fancy icons, but it covered everything. Please note, that some of the links go to a settings tab. For example the Backlight_Settings.lnk and Backlight_Battery-Power.lnk shortcuts go to the same backlight settings location, the difference is the Backlight_Battery-Power.lnk goes to the Battery-Power tab. Not all of my tab commands will work on all phones (sorry). So for that example, if you click both links and they both take you to the 1st tab; then tab selection is not supported for that settings location. And you only need one of the link files.

8. How do I rotate the screen
I have attached a switchrotation.zip file at the bottom of this thread. That will allow you to rotate the screen. {Thanks Jeannette for the program}

9. Link an icon to a Call History
To link to call history (files attached):
1. Download the LaunchMSItem.zip
2. UnZip the LaunchMSItem.zip and copy the LaunchMSItem.exe to your phone; (I reccomend your storage card)
3. Edit your "phone" or "call" icon and set the type to "Missed calls"
4. Set the ExecuteAlt to LaunchMSItem.exe's location
5. Set the ParamsAlt to CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS

This will, when you have a missed call, goto call history

10. Creating MortScript Files

This can be easy or complicated. I recommend vising the new thread dedcated to Mortscript, or tyhe one for icon programs here:
new thread for v1.4+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5718197#post5718197

11. How to create an apple icon for Manillia Today Page (a tab for iPT on TF3D)

Back on page 207, post #2063 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4381541&postcount=2063), bbonzz created Apple slider tab icons that can be used with Manila Today Page to have a unique slider tab for iPhone Today (instead of having to use the boring MTP Today tab or a tab that you weren't using).

On page 208, post #2079 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4385967&postcount=2079)(or around there), bbonzz has a .zip file of two manila files that will allow you to have a pretty basic Apple slider tab icon (similar to the old-style whitish slider tab icons of TF3D 2.0 and earlier.

Well, being the generous fellow that he is, bbonzz created a colored Apple tab icon for me that fits in just right with my TF3D 2.5 icon set that is a part of Herg's 23412 build. See pic below.

Just unzip and insert the two files in /Windows, replacing the current ones, reset, and select Today tab in Settings--Customize Tabs.

Please visit his post or the other 2 linked posts for the zip file...

12. Adding a link to a contact card


a link to the go2contact tool

forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367332

It help to show a contact card with the contact name in parameter :
go2contact.exe "Doe, John"

[j101399j]

Here are the FAQ's:
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Q: How do I make the bottom bar go away? (aka the soft keys)

A: I have come across a few solutions; if NueNoBar does not work, try question 2. 1st try NueNoBar, there are 2 versions (v1.3 and v2.0); I recommend downloading both, v1.3 works on some and v2.0 works on others.

I haver attached NueNoBar v1.3 & v2.0 to this post at the bottom

2. Q: NueNoBar does not work at all, no matter what I try!!

A: Here are 2 more options:

------2a. Try dciNoBar; NueNoBar did not work on my 2ed phone, so I tried this and it works perfectly. You can find one verison of it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356978
I haver attached dciNoBar to this post at the bottom

------2b. Also try a program called Second Today (thank you dustinmcd for this one and how to use it) http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm#SecondToday; It has an option to hide the bottom bar and also gives the flexibility to use another plugin (such as Titanium) easily. Just enable no today plugins, set up iphonetoday as their "Second Today" and run it full time with minimal memory use.

3. Q. How do I have my calender show the days in my language?

A. Attached at the bottom of this post is a file called Settings XML files.zip this file contains the settings.xml files for all 4 phone resolutions and in English, Espanol (Spanish), Deutsch (German) and Français (French). Just replace your current settings.xml file in your "\iPhoneToday" folder on your phone with that one. Then restart iPhoneToday; now the days will be in your language.

I only speek English, so if I messed up; please PM me.

OR

You need to edit the settings file (located in: /iPhoneToday/settings.xml). Copy your settings.xml file to your PC. Open the file with notepad (ONLY USE NOTEPAD). Change the text inbetween the bracketed days:

ie:
English
<Sunday>Sun</Sunday>
<Monday>Mon</Mon>
or Espanol
<Sunday>Dom</Sunday>
<Monday>Lun</Mon>
or my favorite

<Sunday>Rest2</Sunday>
<Monday>Hell1</Monday>
<Tuesday>Hell2</Tuesday>
<Wednesday>Hump</Wednesday>
<Thursday>Better</Thursday>
<Friday>Party</Friday>
<Saturday>Rest1</Saturday>

Save the file, and copy back to your phone. And reset iPT (disable it and re-enable it)

4. How do I add a new page?

A:
. 1. Go to your last page

. 2. Press and hold in any blank area to get the pop menu to add a new icon.

. 3. On the icon add/edit page, in the upper left corner is the screen # selection, it should already have a number. (I have 5 pages, and since the 1st page is page #0; it has the number a 4 in it).

. 3a. If you want to add the icon to the bottom bar, change the screen number to -1;

. 3b. If you want a new page, change the number up by one. For example, I have 5 pages, and I want a 6th page. So I changed the number from 4 to 5 (Remember the 1st page is #0, second page is #1, third page is #2; and so on...)

. Save the icon and now you will have a new page. Also, if you delete all of the icons from a page (like if you are moving them); once the page is blank, it will be deleted. So if you do not want the page to go away, there must be an icon on it.


5. Q: I was editing my icons and everything disappered

A: Chances are your icon's executable path has a special character in it !@#$%^&*()_+=-/.,<>?; or one of your parameters has a " in it. The extra " in your parameters will crash iPhone Today


6. Q: I get a small keyboard at the bottom of the screen
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e379/james27007/crap/sip.jpg
A: Your screen height is a little too big. For some reason NueNoBar has a bug and causes this issue. Start by shrinking your screen height by 1. Open your text messages and close them. If the screen is still too high, the keyboard will still be there. Keep shrinking the screen height till it goes away. Unfortunatuly this will leave 2-3 lines of background/empty spcae on the bottom.


7. Q: How do I create icons to the settings on my phone

A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Link an icon to a Settings

8. Q: How do I link to my call history

A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Link an icon to a Call History


9. Q: How do I Link to my sms and e-mail

A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Create an icon to a SMS and E-mail


10. Q: My bottom icons are messedup/gone after switching back to portrait after landscape mode

A: Disable the landscape option in iPhoneToday settings. This is a problem on some phones and there is no real fix yet


11. Q: I have a scroll bar on the side

A: Your screen height is too large, or you have another today plugin turned on (under or over iPhone Today), or your icons are too big and over laping. You need to lower your screen height.


12. Q: Can we have a clock?

A:For those having problems to see the digital clock:

1 add a new icon, a blank one or one with only a colored background
2 execute nothing or, if you have, a shortcut to the winmobile clock
3 change the Type from 'normal' to 'clock'
4 Enjoy your time Thanks CU

13. What is the "dll" version?

This no longer applies


14. I have iPhone Today installed; how do I update

A: If you are going to install a new vrsion.
1. 1st back up your icons, icons.xml file to your storeage card.
2. Uninstall your current iPhoneToday
3. Restart your phone
4. Install
5. copy your backed up files back to the main iPhoneToday folder to be safe

Please note that for now you cannot backup your settings

You have updated your phone

15. During installation it says that the software in compatible with the operation system. I accept and continue the installation. When installation is completed I cant see the today plugin in the list.

A. {Thanks Jeannette for the answer and cab} you have to install the "RemoveSecurity.CAB " attached at the bottom of this post to remove the security warning. Also you have to install iPhoneToday to the device. If you install to 'My Storage' it doesn't show as a today item


16. How do I create icons that turn Bluetooth or Wifi on/off?

A: Download and install Raiisak`s Bluetooth Button and Raiisak`s WLAN Button from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398050

AKToggleWifi is also a great program for WiFi Toggle.

i have accidentilly deleted the third screen, how do i get it back?

[j101399j]

i have accidentilly deleted the third screen, how do i get it back?

How many pages do you have, was the 3rd page the last page, or was it in the middle.

If it was the last page:
Press and hold to create a new icon, on the icon details page, in the upper left corner, you will see a "screen" option; change it to "2" (0 is page 1, 1 is page 2 and so on). Give the icon a name and save it. This will add a 3rd page. Now create as needed.

If you have more then 3 pages
You will need to move all but one icon off that page (to create a new end page see above steps). Then add a new icon to page 3 (if there are no icons, the page will delete). Move the last icon to the new last page. Since you have that new icon on page 3, it will not delete that page. Then you are ready to go.

Is it possible to create an icon that opens a new screen in IphoneToday? I created shortcuts to several phonenumbers. I'd like to group them. I mean when I hit the icon a new screen opens with the grouped shortcuts to the phonenumbers.

You would have to create a new icons.xml file that has just those icons and use MortScript to swap the files and refresh iPT. See this post:

[cyberhern]

Can you go over adding pages..

[j101399j]

Can you go over adding pages..

Sure,

1. Go to your last page

2. Press and hold in any blank area to get the pop menu to add a new icon.

3. On the icon add/edit page, in the upper left corner is the screen # selection, it should already have a number. (I have 5 pages, and since the 1st page is page #0; it has the number a 4 in it).

3a. If you want to add the icon to the bottom bar, change the screen number to -1;

3b. If you want a new page, change the number up by one. For example, I have 5 pages, and I want a 6th page. So I changed the number from 4 to 5 (Remember the 1st page is #0, second page is #1, third page is #2; and so on...)

Save the icon and now you will have a new page. Also, if you delete all of the icons from a page (like if you are moving them); once the page is blank, it will be deleted. So if you do not want the page to go away, there must be an icon on it.

iPT does not disable or mess with the hard buttons when ran as a today plug-in. If you are using the exe version (start --> programs--> iPhoneToday.exe); then you will loose your hard soft keys bcause you are running it as a program, not a plug-in; same as any full screen program. If you run iPT that way, you will need to create icons to those settings/items. Since every phgone is different, I can't really create a guide how to add them

I've been using iPhone Today for months and love it (no problems). But I thought bbonz's Apple slider tab was great. But I couldn't get it towrk.

So I uninstalled it no problem. And then wanted to update to iT 1.2.5. So I first tried to uninstall the old version (1.0), but, using Settings--System--Remove Programs, it said that it couldn't remove iT. I then tried to overwrite the old version of iT, but during the installation, it said that the old version couldn't be completely removed and installation was unsuccessful.

Can someone help me to uninstall old and install new?

Thanks.

Well it depends. For the main files (the icon.xml and settings.xml) they must be on the device in the \iPhoneToday\ folder. The icons and all the programs that the icons point to and open do not. I don't recommend using icon (png, jpg and bmp) files that are not on the device. Since your sd card load differently from time to time, you can get blank icons from time to time. However liking to programs, mortscripts and links on your sd card is just fine. I place all my shortcuts to programs, my icons and my mortscripts in the \iPhoneToday\ folder, so yes you can do that. The beauty of this UI is how useable it is.

Yes, I need to remove that. It does not work correctly anymore. Plus all of the previous mortscripts do not work with the new version. The new version stores the files in /program files/iPhoneToday folder. If you get yours working for this one, please let me know and I'll add it to the link.

Actually, if you install IPTWeather in the \iPhoneToday\ folder and not the \Program Files\iPhoneToday\ folder, IPTWeather will still work, because it doesn't use iPhoneToday's files.
And you can change the installation folder of IPTWeather by editing one line in two files if you want to install it in the root of the device for instance.
The only problem, due to MortScript, is you cannot run a script with the notification system if it is in the Program Files folder, so you cannot put IPTWeather in the Program Files folder...
So yes, IPTWeather works with iPhoneToday 1.4, and soon, I will rebuild it to have better performance thanks to the new features of iPhoneToday 1.4 :).

EDIT: hum... I have forgotten that the iPhoneToday path is used by IPTWeather when you use the exe version of iPhoneToday, so I must admit that IPTWeather won't work with the exe version of iPhoneToday 1.4... I'll correct this soon by adding a parameter to set the iPhoneToday path :)

I have a way that I do it. Not sure if you would be interested. If you use iContact (goes with the whole iPhone thing right? lol.), -when you open a contact are given an option, "Create Shortcut". Use that option and it will stick a link to the contact in your Start Menu. Then you just create an icon and point it at that link.

Don't know if that is what you want. But it is a working solution.

The notifaction bubble is an image file (in the skin tab). Just create a new image and link to that. Height is stuck, font is stuck, but if you change the font size it will change that font (and all the others)

Correct, windows shows that you have 4 appointments within the next 3 days. Plus it will not clear today's appointments untill tomorrow, even if you dismiss them

If you are using version 1.4.9, go to options> about and reset settings. now try to open the applications and close them. The white screen should go away

If after resetting the settings it works fine, change the settings as per your requirement one by one and try i.e. debug. There could be a possibility that a certain setting might be causing the issue.

Thank you very much.

If you want to circumvent mortscript you need to find a way to insert values into the windows registry to reload the icons and, at the same time, run a third-party tool to actually do the volume toggle.

Please let know, if you find a way to do it. It would be interesting to learn from this approach.

There is a command line that cycles through the volume meter- but i don't think it includes vibrate. It is


--volume:++10


if you choose "volume" as your icon type and enter this in your executable the icon will cycle through the volume at intervals of 10. I also tried 20 and 50 and they all worked- so you can probably use any number.

In the iPT 1.4.x thread more and more questions arise on how to create shortcuts to all sorts of things and/or where to find special registry keys. Also in this FAQ thread they come popping up increasingly for my likings. Perhaps it's time for an own section not only on "how to create shortcuts" but also an overview/collection on what shortcuts are possible.

Having that in mind I did a good share of googling and came across the following sites we might be able to use to get us started:
http://code.google.com/p/rltoday/wiki/AppLocations
http://code.google.com/p/rltoday/wiki/RegistryKeys

Perhaps we can even set up some sort of Wiki for that so we can all update that stuff? Perhaps hosted on the IPT-code.google page?

What'd you think?

You have just created a wiki, no? Well, that's perfect: no need for google-codepage then.

iPT reads unread voicemails from the registry; if yours does not show up, then it is a device difference.

I don't have an HD2, but you should be able to use iPT as a today item instead of using the exe version.

I don't have an HD2, but you should be able to use iPT as a today item instead of using the exe version.

Yes -in the process of installing iPhoneToday you should be asked "Enable Today Plugin?" and you want to answer "Yes". Because it does sound like you are running the Exec version. If you did not answer "Yes" you can just reinstall and answer "Yes". If you did answer "Yes" then enable the today plugin in Start\Settings\Today(or Home) and choose the "Items" tab. Deselect Sense and select "iPhone Today".

I am not sure the path will be the same on HD2 (but it should be similar i think).

EDIT: Version #4

Here is my Battery Level Script. It updates only the icon(s) related to the battery (as opposed to the entire icon set, which is slow), at 10% intervals or when connected to External power. It checks on regular intervals (by default every minute).

You will need Battery Icons in a folder (../iPhoneToday/Battery) to correspond to levels 0, 10, 20 etc. and two charging icons one for full and one for not. The icons should be named battery0.png, battery10.png etc and the charging ones batteryc100.png and batteryc50.png. I use chancer63's icons, which are found here. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4386463&postcount=65)

Note: If you are not using MioPocket, you must delete the first two lines, and manually edit the path value. If you are using MioPocket, place the script in the scripts folder as is.

I am quite interested in your script. Nice but for the moment not working for me. Therefore some questions and remarks:

1. you should place iPhonetoday in skinfolder not in programs, for Miopocket it will be an additional skin
2. I get an error message at execute Line 2 Call_Variables_Common
3. All the icons are in subfolder battery that's clear, but where is the icon battery.png placed, which is picked in IPT's edit icon? In you previous script you based it in iPhoneToday folder.
4. Does the script work for you?

Edit:
After your edit script is perfectly working in Standard iPhone installation, but not in the adaption of LockscreenToday. What could be wrong

Edit:

1. OK
2. That shouldn't happen if the script is in the scripts folder of MP.
3. You don't need the battery.png in the new version. It uses the original icons. This saves power by avoiding all the copying.
4. Yes.

I have edited the script again. This third version should be more efficient and use less power.

It works for me with Lockscreen today. You need to set nScreen1 to -2 and the icon to 1 (if it is the second icon, like in Osprey00's version.) Try the newer version.
EDIT: I just realized that it only works after the script runs while LockscreenToday is open. When LockscreenToday is first launched it reads from its icons.xml file which apparently is not being updated, even when I set the variable to 2 (write to xml). i'll have to see what can be done.

In order to properly test if its working, you should always delete the file battery.ini in the battery folder. This forces the script to refresh the icons. Otherwise, it will only refresh when the battery drops to the next 10% level, or the external power is plugged in.

[meirh18]

Ok - I have tested the script now and posted the newest version in the original post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6302851&postcount=85). It should now work with LockscreenToday, without messing up the top bar in iPt. In order to have lockscreentoday display the correct icon right away when it loads, you will need to launch with the following script (MP users that want to use the other features of the script can remove the commenting before those lines) Regular users should delete the first three lines of the script:



#ErrorLevel("off")

[jayleeds]

First, I'd like to say this is a great app! I am really enjoying it and having fun setting it up to my liking.

1) Is there a way to get the icon bubble to tell you how many unread mails are associated with each of the "other" e-mail accounts individually?

Right now I have an icon set up of for Outlook/Sync mail with a bubble that indicates unread e-mails. I also have separate icons set up for Yahoo!, Hotmail, and GMail accounts individually, but no bubble indicator associated. Then I have an e-mail icon set up with a bubble that will tell me the total number of unread e-mails for all accounts.

This is okay, but knowing how many unread e-mails are in each account would be better.

2) Is there a way to set up an icon using a shortcut that will open the HTC weather tab from TouchFlo 3D? I have a US Cellular HTC Touch Pro (1).

3) Can anyone point me to 94x94, .png type icons for the following APPs/services?

Microsoft Reader
Mobile Micromedex (or something Rx/medical)
mobiletag
Omarket
hdWobble


Thanks in advance for any help!

[jjdavola]

Sorry for posting here.

[SenorZorro]

Thx for this great job. IPT works fine for me.
Anyway, I can't get the bubble appointments. What do I do wrong ? Is it because I use a french smartphone ?
I use the standard icon, with the Calendar & Appointments "tag". The bubble "icon" is correctly set too (notify one). Infortunately, it doesn't work ! And only for the calendar. The sms & unread messages works well...
In the today option, I can see my appointments...
So, what's wrong ?

Another weird thing, but not important for me : for some zoom factors, the wallpaper is stangely "sloped".

Best regards.

Yes and no, you may be able to create a shortcut (*.lnk) file that when it opens iPT, it sets the goto command to that page, or if you use Mortscript, I'm sure there is a way to do it. Since I don't have my kaiser anymore, except when traveling, check out the mortscript thread (linked in the FAQ's) to see if they can create one for you

sorry i don't understand what U mean... :(

[j101399j]

sorry i don't understand what U mean... :(

No problem, I was really thinking out loud;

I grabbed my phone and will play with it today. A "*.lnk" file is a shortcut, like any shortcut on your computer but for windows mobile. You can add commands and things in the shortcut to make the program being opened do something. I'm hoping to have the shortcut open iPT.exe and when it does request that iPT also opens to page whatever. If I get it working, I'll post the result here for you.

[taospirit]

ok thx j101399j i know what is a .lnk :) but what i don't understand is how can u make what u said. i don't know parameters of iPt...

[j101399j]

ok thx j101399j i know what is a .lnk :) but what i don't understand is how can u make what u said. i don't know parameters of iPt...

still working on it; I was hoping I could pass one of the executable commands into iPT.exe (like when you create an icon with the executable of --goto:2) but that is not working yet. As soon as I get it, i'll post it

[taospirit]

thx good luck ;)

[j101399j]

thx good luck ;)
Ok I can't get it to work; I'll keep working on it and will post if I am successful. In the mean time I would check with the mortscripters to see if they have any ideas.

it would be a milestone if :D

[j101399j]

What buttons and/or menu selections do you choose to get to the music?

For example for media player in my multimedia folder has this executable:

"\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia\Media Player.lnk"

Or do you have to press a button to get to it? There should be a program link that you cabn direct an icon to.

Create a new icon; set the executable to your web browser (example: "\windows\start menu\programs\Internet.exe" if yours is called that). Then set the parammeter to the web site (example http://forum.xda-developers.com)

Now when you press the icon it will load the web browser and then goto that website.

Hey guys,

Just starting using iphone today and I'm very happy with the results.

Theres a few things that I'd like to do but I'm unsure on.

1 - I have a twitter app installed but have noticed that when i create an icon for it there is no 'unread/new tweats' in the type field. Do we know if this is something that will be added later??

2 - I'm looking for a picutre/album app to replace the boring wm one. any ideas?? Oh, will also need a iphone style icon.


Cheers in advance guys :)

[j101399j]

1 - I have a twitter app installed but have noticed that when i create an icon for it there is no 'unread/new tweats' in the type field. Do we know if this is something that will be added later??

That would need to be programed into the iPT program and not something that easy to do without that

2 - I'm looking for a picutre/album app to replace the boring wm one. any ideas?? Oh, will also need a iphone style icon.

not sure on this one since I don't use WM much anymore, sorry

[blastman]

arh ok, cool. Thanks for the reply.

One more question if you dont mind...


I'd like to have a settings icon (already have .png file) that when pressed opened the \windows\start menu\settings so I can then browse all the wm settings apps.

Currently the only way i can do this (that i know of) is to use a file explorer and pass the settings path as a parameter but that looks rubbish.

Is there a way of creating a new menu? or maybe a hidden page that isn't accesable by scrolling left or right from the home screen but can be openned via a icon press??

Thanks in advance :)

I hope this hasn't been answered before;
from what I remember in previous versions of IPT, it
was possible to have one single icon for all accounts
(email, sms, mms & so on), instead of a separate one
in order to get the little bubble showing new emails &
sms/mms, like it is in the present version. The setting
"unread total email" also used to cover new sms & mms.
Am I failed by my memory, or has this possibility gone?
Thanx in advance, for any input You would like to share.

Hey,thanks for this excellent UI for my HTC pro2!

I can not believe this is freeware! it's worth at least as much price tag as SPB Mobile Shell.


I feel iPhoneToday's fingerprint is much lighter than SPB Mobile Shell,Now it think SPB Mobile Shell is facing serious competition from iPhoneToday!

If iPhoneToday can add the following three features, I think i will forget about SPB Mobile Shell altogether:

1. add a folder in which we can put program shortcuts,in SPB Mobile Shell it's called Favorite(under Launcher); In iPhoneToday,we only can place program shortcuts in desktop only.

2. enable icons to be placed in anywhere in desktop,I tested this newest version iPhoneToday v1.5.3 (June,24,2010),the freedom to place icons is still limited,the icons are automatically sticked together in rows.

3. backup and restore settings and icons. there is none, imagine how headache next time if we install newer version or reinstall the iPhoneToday.
But the good news is that we can manually backup both icons and settings, the files you should backup is \Program files\iPhoneToday\icons.xml and settings.xml.
Copy both icons.xml and settings.xml in storage,after reinstallation,copy them into \Program files\iPhoneToday\,replace the original ones.
Then have a soft rest. Done!

Hi iPhonetoday is amazing!

its simpler design and much less fingerprint(ram consumption etc) than SPB Mobile Shell,now iPhoneToday is my main UI for my HTC Pro2.

By the way,anyone knows how to change the language? I want to make Chinese and Malaysia version for my hometown folks.

I downloaded Wince cab manager,and defiled iPhoneToday-1.5.4-wm.cab,but which file contains language?

settings.xml?iPhoneToday.dll?Setup.dll?

I cannot find anything like lang.txt.

Really clueless,anyone got an idea? :confused:

But you can create a link to a phone number, and then an icon in iPhoneToday that will run this link with any picture you want.

Hi Michoob
I created a button for BtSync with mortscript that activates active sync and Bt but I need another button to disactivate them. Is it possible to have the same button to do both ?

sure can... just make IF ELSE statement... simple example....

If(ProcExists("BtSync.exe"))
Kill("BtSync.exe")
Else
Run("BtSync.exe")
EndIf


hope that help !!!:)

2uk3y, I don't think tito12 has a process called BtSync.exe, but just a script BtSync.mscr that just toggles the bluetooth and ActiveSync.

I would rather use a registry status entry that would give something like that:
If(RegRead("HKLM", "Software\Mort's MortScript\tito12", "BtSyncStatus"))
#PUT HERE CODE TO TOGGLE BLUETOOTH AND ACTIVSYNC OFF
RegWriteDword("HKLM", "Software\Mort's MortScript\tito12", "BtSyncStatus", 0)
Else
#PUT HERE CODE TO TOGGLE BLUETOOTH AND ACTIVSYNC ON
RegWriteDword("HKLM", "Software\Mort's MortScript\tito12", "BtSyncStatus", 1)
EndIf

But the best would be checking for Bluetooth and ActivSync status in the OS registry values, so you don't even need to add your own status values...

OR, you could just call in your MortScript script a program that toggles Bluetooth (like VJVolubilis (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis)), and another one that toggles ActiveSync (don't know if it exists, but you should be able to find a registry key that gives you some information on the ActiveSync status).

[tito12]

Hi Michoob

Thanks for the answer, indeed i use this mscr:

Run("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk")
Sleep (2000)
SendRightSoft()
SendUp()
SendCR()

While(ProcExists("repllog.exe")=TRUE)
sleep(2000)
EndWhile

If (ProcExists("repllog.exe")=FALSE)
Run("\Program Files\Small Apps\btonoff.exe")
EndIf

The If function works after I manually turn ASync off, so how can I make the same button turn off Async?

[michoob]

While(ProcExists("repllog.exe")=TRUE)
sleep(2000)
EndWhile
Such a loop is pretty ugly and battery consumptive, isn't it?
Why this loop?
Can't you just toggle Bluetooth on/off?

Hi Michoob

Thanks for the answer, indeed i use this mscr:

Run("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk")
Sleep (2000)
SendRightSoft()
SendUp()
SendCR()

While(ProcExists("repllog.exe")=TRUE)
sleep(2000)
EndWhile

If (ProcExists("repllog.exe")=FALSE)
Run("\Program Files\Small Apps\btonoff.exe")
EndIf

The If function works after I manually turn ASync off, so how can I make the same button turn off Async?
Can't you turn off ActiveSync in a similar way as you SendRightSoft, SendUp and SendCR commands?
OR, as suggested by 2uk3y, if repllog.exe is your ActiveSync proc, couldn't you just kill it?

[tito12]

ASync.exe creates 4 processes, one of them is repllog, I did manage to kill it but didn't try to kill all of them separately. I'll do it and tell you if it's Ok.

As for the loop it's prob a fossil from an old copy/paste:o

Edit: When I remove "while" Bt stays on after disconnect from Async

2- Can you tell me how to add the shut all function when I press the button a 2nd time or to tell the script to wait until I press this button in order to shut all?

Thanks

[tito12]

So here I am with 2 working scripts

1 BtsyncON:

Run("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk")
Sleep (2000)
SendRightSoft()
SendUp()
SendCR()


2 BtsyncOFF:

Kill("\Windows\repllog.exe")
Kill("\Windows\maapp.exe")
Kill("\Windows\rapiclnt.exe")
Kill("\Windows\udp2tcp.exe")

Run("\Program Files\Small Apps\btonoff.exe")

How do I combine them ?

Edit: Ok, solved! I created a 3rd script with an IF/Else function

If (ProcExists("repllog.exe")=FALSE)
Run("\Program Files\Small Apps\BtSync1.mscr")
Else
Run("\Program Files\Small Apps\BtSync2.mscr")
EndIf

Thank you and 2uk3y for putting me in the right direction :-)

[michoob]

You could try something like that:
#ActiveSync toggle on/off
If (ProcExists("repllog.exe"))
Kill("\Windows\repllog.exe")
Kill("\Windows\maapp.exe")
Kill("\Windows\rapiclnt.exe")
Kill("\Windows\udp2tcp.exe")
Else
Run("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk")
Sleep (2000)
SendRightSoft()
SendUp()
SendCR()
EndIf

#Bluetooth toggle on/off
Run("\Program Files\Small Apps\btonoff.exe")
I would also try to avoid the Sleep, by trying the following one:
#ActiveSync toggle on/off
If (ProcExists("repllog.exe"))
Kill("\Windows\repllog.exe")
Kill("\Windows\maapp.exe")
Kill("\Windows\rapiclnt.exe")
Kill("\Windows\udp2tcp.exe")
Else
RunWait("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk")
SendRightSoft()
SendUp()
SendCR()
EndIf

#Bluetooth toggle on/off
Run("\Program Files\Small Apps\btonoff.exe")

[tito12]

You mean ONE script? It would be more elegant :D
I will try it right now!

Edit:

1st one works well, 2nd only runs Bt, another press launches Async, so it probably needs the sleep :)
Now 1 last thing, how to get rid of the bubble that shows cradled? it stays on after I disconnect. It disappears only when I disconnect the traditional way.

[michoob]

Wow, quite hard to follow you tito12, with all your edits ;).

Yes, I meant you could do it with just one script.

[tito12]

You're right, I should open a new post. Can you pls read the last edit ;)

[michoob]

Kill("\Windows\maapp.exe")
Kill("\Windows\rapiclnt.exe")
Kill("\Windows\udp2tcp.exe")
RegWriteDword("HKLM", "System\State\Hardware", "Cradled", 0)
Else
Run("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk")
Sleep (2000)
SendRightSoft()
SendUp()
SendCR()
EndIf

#Bluetooth toggle on/off
Run("\Program Files\Small Apps\btonoff.exe")

If you're using Firefox, you can right-click on that image in the post and save the image with all 5 icons, then use a program like IrfanView to crop and save each icon by itself. They don't have to be .png--.jpg images work fine too.

Damned, will TRITitaniumWeather kill IPTWeather? :p
I had a quick look at TRITitaniumWeather and it does have some nice features.
It is good to have a choice between two weather scripts for iPhoneToday. It will give me some new ideas of features for IPTWeather... :D

[michoob]

1. There is a great new weather script that display an icon for the weather. Found here

Hi j101399j, you totally mixed up TRITaniumWeather (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882110) and IPTWeather (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603817) in your post.
These are two totally different weather scripts!
You cannot say that one is newer than the other, or that one is the original, as the base source code is also totally different.
Actually, TRITaniumWeather is specialized for the Titanium interface, with some features for iPhoneToday and S2U2.
Whereas ITPWeather is really specialized for iPhoneToday and S2U2, with much more related options, but has nothing to do with TRITaniumWeather.
So please update your posts #1 and #4 because they are confusing.
IPTWeather is still alive! :D
Many thanks in advance.

No offence ment, I love your work and is what I personally used when I had my tilt2. I changed the 1st and 4th threads around.

Of course no offense, I just wanted to clarify things and also to make sure people are aware of all existing weather scripts ;).
Also to add that to my mind, IPTWeather is the best for iPhoneToday :p, especially if you don't use Titanium.

Hi! I like your IPT most of all, nice work!
I have a question:
How can i make my "GPRS" button not only the status icon (i want to use it to turn on/off gprs (edge))? My device is htc touch diamond with last offical rom.
thank.

P.s it would be great if u tell how to make stand alone callhistory key too ;)

[michoob]

To toggle gprs on/off, you can use VJVolubilis (www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis) (Execute field VJVolubilis, Param fields -gprstoggle).

For callhistory, use the search button...

[Flex[i]ble]

9. Link an icon to a Call History
To link to call history (files attached):
1. Download the LaunchMSItem.zip
2. UnZip the LaunchMSItem.zip and copy the LaunchMSItem.exe to your phone; (I reccomend your storage card)
3. Edit your "phone" or "call" icon and set the type to "Missed calls"
4. Set the ExecuteAlt to LaunchMSItem.exe's location
5. Set the ParamsAlt to CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS

This will, when you have a missed call, goto call history

It's the only what i've found, but it isn't what i want.
I need to create single key only for call history wich opens without any missed calls. Is there any command like :MSCProg for phone (i have it in "programms" and can launch without :MSCProg but i cant to do the same with callhistory) beacause:
1) i havent got it in programms tab
2) i dont know the command of it

Sorry annoying questions.

Try this program. Does it do what you need?
Unzip this and copy the callhistory.exe program to your phone. Then just tap on it. it gives your choices on the bottom of the screen to very easily see what you want with one tap.

Use a top bar. Like the bottom bar, but with screen number -2 and not -1 :).

You can set --winkey in the execute field of the icon that will open the Start Menu.

For Start menu type --winkey in execute field. As for Settings, extract the file attached and move it to your device then create an icon linked to it.

And your settings.exe is a great job, but icons are very small (maybe because my device is vga?)
Any for display programs directly?
