It should work but I don't have any headset so can't check.

I've just tested sWM on HTC Kaiser. I've connected and disconnected the watch many times without single problem or error. Only requirement is restart after pairing/com seting. Communication over incoming port is stable.

I've already implemented bitmap -> hex converter so now Im looking for the right fonts. We need:
1) Probably bold and good readable font, height 16 pixels
2) Smallest and readable font, 8 pixels height (for two lined text output)

Any suggestions?

Dr. Brainiac: Install Resco Explorer with included Registry Editor Plugin. The trial version should be enough.

Thank you! I have a headset, now I have to borrow a watch to test it.

Yeah man, I've been using the Nokia HS-12W and the MBW-150 with my X7500 for 2 days.

Can it be a pixel font? There are plenty of pixel fonts out there. I'll see what I can find.

I can give you my exported registry entries. All you have to do: edit the bluetooth-address string, enter the one of your watch. Then execute the files and it automatically changes and creates the right registry keys. There are several tools available which are able to read registry files. Resco Explorer is probably the best of them, it's commercial though. But the trial will do.

For your convenience, I'll copy moneytoo's instructions and complete them with the registry files.

1. Backup your registry. Turn off WiFi and/or other network connections.
2. Delete all BT devices and COM ports. This is not necessary but recommended.
3. Turn on BT on the watch, then turn on BT on your WM device. Try to pair them. After entering the watches passcode (0000) WM will most probably cancel with a wrong passcode message. Just try again, after the second try it usually works. If it still doesnt work, try disabling BT on watch when you get to the enter passcode screen. Once the devices are paired, turn off BT on the watch.
4. Check your BT device address. On the PC, rightclick the MBW-150_1.reg file, chose "Edit" and follow instructions in the file. Safe the file and transfer it to your device. Now execute the file MBW-150_1.reg on the PocketPC and merge it to your registry.
5. Now you can add and assign a new outcoming COM port to your MBW-150 (it must be COM5) in your BT manager. Check the Bluetooth settings, it might be already there. If not, create and assign it (COM 5 on MBW-150).
6. Now execute the MBW-150_2.reg file. You don't have to edit it, it contains general information.
7. Now go back into your Bluetooth settings. Check for an incoming COM port. If none exists, add new incoming COM port. It must be COM6. Now softreset/restart your device.
8. Start smartWatchM and select Start . smartWatchM will output screen messages, telling you to start the communication on the watch.
9. Turn on BT on the watch, watch the devices screen if smartWatchM produces some communications output. If it doesnt after a couple seconds, press left top button (FF) on the watch.
10. Few seconds later, the watch is ready. Now you can test vibrate / ring / message events.

Good work, schaggo
Yeah, "pixel font"... This is the right term. That's I wasnt able to find anything useful using phrase "smallest font".

Just a really really small update (v0.1.4.1) - new icon and cab installer.

http://www.robbythek.de/pixelfonts5.php offers some. I just really quickly scanned the site and found "Orange Kid" and (I wonder why ) "Ericsson GA628" to be good candidates.

The pictures: Since pixel-fonts are created for specific font-sizes they only look good in that size or doubled or trippled etc.
Above how it looks in its 'native' size, below scaled to readable size (usually double the size it's made for)

Damit. Only 4 pictures allowed per post. I have to manually compile a big picture then. Just a sec, I'll attach it later to this post.

Back in the days, when I did webdesign, I remember SEVENET7 and SILKSCREEN to be my favourites. But IMHO Kharon and Teachers Pet looks quite suitable for the task ahead. What do you think?

I installed Resco Explorer with registry editor, edited the reg file, and transfered it to my phone. When i try to execute it with Resco Explorer, it ask to import the file, to which i respond "Yes"

But then i get an error: "The specified file is not a Registry script"

Any ideas? Thank you soo much for your help. I hope i can get it working soon...

EDIT: I looked around and i think i need to enter another first line in the file, but i don't know what. I think it is windows mobile 6 (HTC S710)

Now it is "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" but that is not working for me

If i get this working ill make a decent tutorial on my blog with screenshots for pda-noobs like me and post the link here.

I got the scripts imported!

It seems you need to open and edit the files with notepad, and not another editor like textpad (what i did first). When i opened them with notepad, and saved them, transfered the files to my phone, it did work.

I have another problem now, i cannot select COM5 for outgoing port, only COM6 and COM7. Any ideas on this one?

Thanks again

Hey Moneytoo
It's Lunatixz from ppcgeeks...
program has been working great... looking foward to your updates...
Is there a chance you will make a version as a windows mobile background service?

BTW please post your paypal donate link

This is 04b_03 font. (I hope it's not too small )

Kharon (Bold) does look good as the larger font.
