It is the memory requirements for this application that has forced the company to discontinue any new versions/updates and provide the last one for free without any support.
They stated "at this point in time WM devices can't handle the next level we want to take our software. So instead of producing an application that does not meet our standards we have decided to pull it from the market"
Perhaps more of an excuse for the software developers not being able to work within the constraints of current PDA limits- who knows.

Right you are... eats up about 6mb of memory. But still I enjoy showing it off to my buddies. I'm not sure if this can be installed and run from a storage card. Will do tomorrow.

Hey, if you want your PDA to look like Windows, use Windows

Have you tried to create a webpage from the screen of the PDA??
I would actually make use of your TSC program had I a suitable device- unfortunately still stuck with JAM- no point of term. services via bluetooth!
Wouldn't mind having one of those up and coming mini-tablet style devices that are due to run the full blown version of XP though.

I'd like to have an OQO or something Unfortunately even the Universal's screen becomes too much work on the eyes after a while. Such a dilema: want a big (VGA) screen, want a small phone. Not gonna happen.
I don't think I'd like an OQO day to day, but nice in bed. But yes, VJFullscreenTSC could be used to write webpages from the Uni.
As I understand it, Experience is a flash app isn't it?

I just tried it.. it is awesome....
to bad it's not free any more
This program will be much easier to use, if the PDA's screen is large..
using this program on a small screen like the magician's will be useless IMHO
Should be fairly easy to re write. Will try to investigate later!

PPC Tablet
You might want to try this, it's a commercial product, and as such it serves the purpose well.
http://www.aacompserv.com/AACompweb/PPCTablet/WhatIsIt.aspx
It has several predifined layout :a drawing tablet, touchpad, numeric pad, presentation controller, windows media controller. You can even create your own layout or modify existing one.

Yep, you should give it a try if you're bored one day or another. The trial works OK... I like the idea of using the XDA as a universal remote for the laptopo via the design mode but as a pure Graphical tablet the thing sucks. And aside from this I have trouble getting decent connections. Direct connections over ActiveSync (USB or Bluetooth) for some reason are the most dodgy. And if they work they are hopelessly sluggigh - i.e. a few pixels movement a second. If you get to work on this, lemme know. I might have the odd idea for a feature.

That crappy wm5 'wait' thingy

Please if any of the rocket scientists on this forum know of some way to change that 'simon says' looking wait animation for wm5 then let us know.
I cant stand the way MS makes their interfaces look like a frikkin Fisher Price gadget and each time that thing loads and makes me watch it cycle red, green, blue, yellow the more angered I get.
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Never gave this much thought, but if it bothers you that much:
1) Get a coreres.dll.0409.mui file. (should be in any good ROM dump, or use TestWM5.exe by mamiac)
2) Change the bitmaps using ResourceHaker or any other res editor.
3)Check Asukal's posts for how to re-sign the file, then put it in windows directory.
Good luck.
This is the thread on changing for WM2003. The info might be helpful.

sorry, just gotta laugh at the prospect of having a hamster on my screen now...
though i'd take that over the spinning thing too...
I loved the little hamster!
Although a few frames of VirtualGirl might not go amiss!

lol, indeed sir, indeed.
so...anyone want to try this on WM5? I know it should work but still....
Very cute idea, I will try this my self soon with a custom graphics.
Just one problem I am not anxious to combat:
In WM5 system MUI's will not load without a signature. This means creating a certificate, provisioning device then signing DLL. I know it can be done, but still, a lot of extra hassle.
Exactly. I don't think it worked when I tried it way back when, but I don't think I signed it...

Need simple today plugin to add large icons to today screen

I would like to add a couple of large icons to my today screen to start a couple of programs i use in my car (mainly pocket player). Pocket player does have a today plugin, but its to small to hit when i am driving.
I have tried stuff like iLauncher etc, but i dont need all the extra functionality and find them to fiddly on the small screen. They also slow it down for me. I have resco explorer but the icon are to small and cant see a way to make them bigger (as big as the battery/storage icons).
I just want the most basic 'no frills' app that simply puts large icons on the today screen, nothing else.
Can anyone recommend anything?
I like claunch.

I don't think this forum is hardly the place to be advertising where you can get PDA software for free that you should be paying for. A lot of these users are software developers that SELL their software on the internet and some offer it as FREEWARE. There's a difference. I suppose you've also found cracks for Pocket Plus on the Internet, too??
To give newbie2's post context, I should add that stinkie pointed towards a popular p2p network as a means of getting this software. Now we all know how to use p2p, but I'm not going to endorse it as a way to take money from developers who might well be members of this board.
I'm not one to talk when it comes to intellectual property theft, since if t'were not for said half inching, I'd be a mental pauper, but still, let's try to keep the board as clean as we can.
Assassination contracts, prostitution, that's all fine, but no piracy if poss, m'kay?

VNC options for trinity (have searched)

hi all
Recently got an M700 and am loving it. Since discovering this place I've been amazed at what customisations you can do, and with flashing to WM6 using AX3L's fantastic ROM, getting TomTom6 working, and a few choice other apps to allow FTP etc., i've now got a device that does pretty much everything I could ask of it anywhere! (Probably matter of time till I brick it though...).
What I am missing though, is a decent VNC client (although I've used the RDP client semi-successfully).
I've searched for 'VNC' but no joy - surely that can't be the case when there's so much other stuff available? or is the search function not liking the term...?
thanks for a great forum & resource
Did you see the posts re zoomVNC on PocketPC Thoughts? Looks nice!

i have now
thanks - looks excellent
i guess there's others out there i couldn't search for too!
For me the best is PTPocketOffice.
It was recommended by Menneisyys:
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1572&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
It consumes a lot less data than the others VNC.
It's fast.
It has fullscreen.
It can be used one handed.
The server side can resample the pictures to make it smaller (less data and better image than if it was done by client side).
The only minor thing I'd like to see improved is their proprietary softkeyboard. why not using the system keyboard? I don't want to use a new keyboard with each of my apps...
that's a great article
i hadn't thought to even try logmein until reading it there, i'd assumed that with their remote screens always being slightly fuzzy and smaller it mightn't be great - wow, was i wrong!
just tried logging onto a client's SBS server and the screen scaling and rotation together make it nearly as useable as a standard desktop! the screen scrolling at the side of the screen is a great interface! there'll be occasions where i need VNC, but for know i think I've got a favoured solution

Widget-Game morpion free

hey! I have created a little widget which is a game named Morpion in french. You can play with in four modes: vs. Computer easy, medium or hard or two players.
hard mode is really hard, but if you beat it, I want to kow it!
You can download it by searching for MyMorpionWidget on the market.
I will post bar code as soon as possible.
I hope you will comment my job and enjoy yourself with it!

thought you'd like to know ive beaten the cpu 3 times on hard (i won the first and lost 2 times then i won 2 times/ same strategy)
I suppose it is not hard enought... You are a good gamer, if you give me your strategie, it won't be able anymore, but if nobody can win, does the game be still interesting?
You should be able to balance it. If people win to easily they will be bored, if they never win they will be frustrated. Either reaction will have the same result: don't play with the game.
I'll try it as soon as possible.
I understand, that's why, there is three mode of difficulty.
The real probleme is that this game is a kind limited...
I am thinking about a cheat mode. It will change a little the rules. Can't finish with a null. After one or two turn you will be able to erase circle or cross where you wan't to play. I'll test it and if it is cool, I'll publish it.
The problem with the game is indeed that it is too easy. With that I mean that optimal play can always be achieved by both CPU and human player. If the CPU does not make mistakes intentionally, it will always end in a draw (or CPU win). However, since the game is so simple, making mistakes intentionally is too obvious and makes the AI look stupid.
I propose that you change to another similar game that is not that easy to beat. I assume you are French, so you might know "puissance quatre" (connect four). If you can get it to fit into the dimensions of the widget, that would be a much better choice.
Anyway, good work, keep it up
