Release 0.92.5 of iTask:
-------------------------------------------
Please don't get upset if I change something on each release, or that it is hard to modify. I know all this, and it is in everyones interest to make iTask work smoothly in every way, before making a good settingsprogram. If not, the settingsprogram would need changes every time I modified something in iTask, and that would slow down the whole development progress.
This is a development-in- progress app. This means you can use the beta, before the final release, and I get some feedback on bugs. Thankfully some in the community has taken a keen interest in sharing feedback, and therefor iTask Betas are still coming pretty often.
I know it's hard for some people to edit the input.txt and I hope someone with programming knowledge will be up for the task of creating a settingsprogram for iTask when I come to 1.0. I do not know much programming, only Flash.
Thanks, Rhov23

ROOT
VIDEO OF ITASK 0.91
-You need to install Flash lite 2.1 player
-Itask.zip is the old version. itask_0_92.zip is the next and itask_0_92_5.zip is the newest.
-WHEN YOU OPEN iTask for the first time, or after a soft reset, or if unread sms or contactlist is not working, run SERVER.EXE.
Server.exe runs invicible in the background.
OPEN WITH ITASK.SWF
A GOOD TIP FOR EDITING: If you have a copy of the itask-folder on your computer, you can use flash player in Windows to play it there as well, for quick reference when you add images or text. Instead of dpad button, press enter
Newest 0.92.5
-Added many variables to input.txt so non-english can modify more.
-Added some variables to new background images, so you can for example change the background of the Minical or contacts
-Made contactapp a bit prettier, and you can now click on phone to make a call, or email to email a contact (if you have email for that contact).
-Teleprovider name
-Name of wifirouter
-Name of bluetooth connection
- Username
-Small fixes
Done 0.92:
-Unread sms
-Unanswered calls
-Unread email
-Buttons can now be gif/jpg/swf/png(with transparency)
-20 more app buttons ( open apps, slide to right)
-Slide to unlock has been changed to be a execute link instead, so now you can use a better screenlocker
-Changeable background for news and settings.
-You can use gif/jpg/png/swf for background-image as well
-Write has been moved to iProgs, so now mainbutton1 is open for external app.
-Rubik's cube game
-Soccer tricks game
-Sokoban game.
-Tetris look upgraded.
-Contacts app Alpha version.
-Many small fixes
-Volume and network or other system info not fixed yet.
Done 0.91:
-Rewritten from flash 7 to Flash lite (Painstaking!)
-New news reader (looks the same, but all new because of flash lite limitations on the old one.) It's faster, you can add as many feeds as you want. Use right/left hardbutton to change feeds. Also added browser link for reading the whole article.
-New calendar (because the old one didn't work in flash lite)
-Rewrote parts of weather. (because the old one didn't work in flash lite)
-New drawing app. Much smoother, more functions.
-New timer. (because the old one didn't work in flash lite)
-New snake game
-New bubblebreaker game
-New solitaire! (this took an awful long time to make)
-Added 4 search functions to write
-Added urls.txt: rss feeds addresses should be put here
-New loadani.exe: Screenshot app. Takes screenshots of all your apps and saves them as the appropriate loadani. Start the exe and see what I mean.
-Many small fixes
To do (in the near future)
- Your ideas (not to complex, please)
MODIFYING:
-Input.txt is where you do all text/execute modification.
All buttonimages are adressed in this file by numbers from 1-X, from the top left to the bottom right. Same with text, executelinks etc.
-Buttons should be 40x40 pixels.
Background images: 240x320 pixels.
-All jpg files MUST be NON-PROGRESSIVE. Keep the file sizes low.
Hope you like it!
This is a developing in progress app. I need feedback!
Please DONATE what you think this app is worth for you, if you like it of course
Downloading...
Edit: this is really nice! it is from my first tests very stable, not found any bugs at all yet.
maybe now you could try and make the frame rate per second higher, so that the animations would go smoother,
i am no programmer and i dont know if thats possible with mortscript..
keep it up! o and the spider walking down the keyboard is funny!! haha
PS: Thanks
Its a very nice looking interfece, but i agree that it needs a larger frame rate, so the animation is smoother. Starts instantly though. Ive got a problem in that it launches calculator no matter what icon i press. And, before it launches calculator, it says please post a screenshot of the application you use here or something similar.
Looks very promising, I'll try it soon...
Any chance of some screen shots guys?

Very nice for a first release. Well done !
1) Still didn't check all options, but as tomazez stated, a better frame rate would be great. It's not as smooth as Pointui or other UI replacements.
2) I don't know what's the need for the page that opens after clicking on a program's button (the one we should replace with a jpg pic) I'd prefer getting immediately to the program/settings page.

This is where your modification comes into play.
The image that comes before you launch calculator is to be replaced by you, with a screenshot of your program. If people will begin to share screenshots and icons, this will be a lot easier for all of us
Most links are defaulted to calculator, but in the input.txt file you can change the links to whatever you want.

Beautifully done! With some work, this could blow FreeStylWM and PointUI Home out of the water! Provided that we all get the video driver needed by all HTC products using the MSM7200 chipset, do you think that this will improve on the speed with some DirectX code thrown in? I'm no Windows Mobile developer (yet) but I'd love to help with this wonderful project (even if it's MortScript modifications or beta testing!)
PROGRAM IS NOT WORKING AT 100%! AT THIS MOMENT ONLY FUCTIONS LISTED BELOW ARE WORKING. OTHER FUNCTIONS UNDER DEVELOPMENT.
Current Version
- [NEW] Birthdays button/indicator works
- [NEW] A little bit more comfortable clock setting
- [NEW] Fade-in effect now depends on your device speed
- Clock Settings
- Clocks, Indicators
- Balance update
- BlueTooth, GPRS/EDGE, WiFi, GSM on/off
- Support for all resolutions (hope so )
- Support for scale components of main window (may be useful for big resolutions)
Install: unpack to Program Files to your device.
Scale factor and balance setting are in HKCU\Software\MaxHome
Day's period to search birthdays in the same regestry.
To Do Next: sort birthdays in order of days, alarm settings, maybe screenlock
Hmmmm. so i'l be the first one
I'me more into icons and launchers but nice icons
I'm sure that a lot of people will like this
Very nice...can't wait to take it for a spin
It's amazing ! I really want this ! Good job !
Thos application seems to be verry good.
nice!!! quite tired of the normal todays screens..too much cluttered plugins...
hope you could share with us soon very much interested to try out...
nice work keep it up =) hope it is also support VGA..coz many developers develop QVGA soft huhu
looks good, keep it up!
I'm begginer in programming. So dont promise a VGA version. I wrote it with Windows Mobile 6 SDK. I think it will work with 5.0 and 6.0 of coarse.
Actually I doing it for my personal using (QTek S200, WM6).
Will be glad if some one else will can to use it
hi MaxKysh, im a beginner too. Is possible to use grafic libs like XFlib in your project?
Don't know I use only API functions.
Please, try it
Here it is if somebody want to try Please report of your try.
Tested on QTEK S200 - works well.
Tested on Asusu p525 - don't work BlueTooth swith (will try to fix it).
WiFi switch don't realised yet.
Place into Program Files on your device.
The balance USSD request message stored in HKCU\Software\MaxHome\Balance\Message.

I've got an normal htc elf p3450
And the program doesn't work correct, the background doesn't load therefore the transparant icons doesn't show.
I can enter the settings tab but i don't think any of the settings work.
I know you are a starting programmer (and i can't program anything so i have deep respect for you) but could you concider something like total customization
Greetz
Did you extract it to Program Files? (I meen Program Files\MaxHome\, and not to Storage Card (!)). Don't promise full customize but will work on it

As i have a dutch elf i don't have the program files folder but i made one by hand and copied the whole MaxHome folder to that directory but it still didn't work.
Greetz,
Hmm... That is my big mistake Will try to fix it
hi, just tried it, unzipped to device/Program Files/Max Home
tried running MaxHome01b.exe and comes up with error:
"the file 'MaxHome01b' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
I clicked on accept when it said it wasnt signed...
Not working for Wizard
Date and time displayed correctly, the "Comm Manager" displays correctly but the Bluetooth button is the only one functioning, the rest do not have any effect.
Icons at the bottom do not work at all.
Anyhow, good idea, keep the good work!
Forget to say:
realized at this moment only:
- Clocks
- BlueToot, GSM, GRRS switch (WiFi - not yet)
- Balance Update
The bottom icons just for full view They are not working.
Please tell me, which Software to programm do you use??
Can you post the source code, so that we can help you to make a realy realy good home screen?
Thanks
Perpetual is a simple image zooming demo.
You can zoom on any of the 200 images, and the pixels will turn into other images to zoom, perpetually.
What is it for ?
Nothing ! It's just a proof of concept and a demo I made...
If you have any images to submit to add into the demo, feel free to post in the forum and we'll update as soon as possible ! I'm looking for images that have nice colors and an overall dominant one (that'll be used for the color detection) Thanks for helping support this useless project !
Download Perpetual​
Also available :
Perpetual Image Maker
Sexy Image Pack
Kaiser47's DeviantART selection (really awesome pack !)
SaintSeya pack
Zen nature pack
v0.3 (03/29/08)
- New prp format (old ones should still work though) with additionnal data : author, icon, etc...
- New menu using the new prp format data, looks much better !
- Now saves viewed purcentage !
- Now works with Smartphones !
- Fixed menu bug if you had too many packs
- Much higher image quality while zooming
v0.2
- Fixed image bug when you have more than 256 images (that was stupid)
- Fixed potential crash when moving around too much
- Fixed surface bug when you moved around
- PerpetualMaker updated, smaller exe
- Improved performance
- New image viewer to select start image
- Now over 300 images !
- New Image Pack maker : just put in any directory, and it'll take all the images from images/ (still requires 240x240 jpeg images) and do a pack (.prp file)
- New splash screen, with possibility to select pack to display !
- Fixed random crash when changing speed while in auto mode
- Speed button : x0.5, 1, or 2
- Auto button for lazy people
- Surface button to come back to the unzoomed image
A video is available on that page if you want to see what it looks like without downloading/installing
Thanks for the feedback, suggestions, and images !
Fascinating software - it works perfectly in portrait, its a bit slow and landscape, and it doesn't handle the change from portrait to landscape well.
Thanks for making my Kaiser much cooler however.
Any way the process could be automated, to make it into a semi-interactive screensaver?
Surur
Well, technically, it's automated on my PC (there's no way to add all the needed data for the colors of the 200 images alone ^^) : I just have a folder with the images, launch my .Net app, and it scans through all the images, sorts by color, and outputs both miniature views (to avoid overloading the memory) and a huge array with the number of the image to use for every 16bit color ^^
It takes a while to run on my PC, so it's unlikely to work on in realtime, would have way too much loading time. I have just thought of an alternative method to build the color array, it could work much faster, but would only be available for real-time if you have only a few images... and if you don't have many images, well... It won't work to well ^^ You need to have at least 50 or 100 photos, ranging in pretty much all the possible colors (my PC app outputs which colors are overpopulated and which aren't populated enough, to know which images to remove and what colors to search for) ^^
While it would be cool to use my own pictures, it would be nice to see it zoom through the stock images without me having to touch the screen with the stylus too, independently.
Surur
Well, this is a first release, I just wanted to have a quick proof of concept and that's it ^^
The future stuff that could be added :
- "Surface" button (to move back up)
- Auto button (could be nice to for lazy people ^^)
Anything else ?
A zooming back feature would be cool

Well, it should work on VGA, just that it's upscaled. I tested on emulator and the performance was good.
In theory, a 100% VGA version could be done. But the program is already 5MB, uses a lot of ram for all the images, and a full VGA version would just use 4 times more ram :s
Btw there should be alot more pictures kind of ^^

Feel free to post some images (or send them by mail/PM) and I'll add them ^^
*Edit*
Ok here are some random Pictures i found and had on ma system! I extra made them 240x240 so you dont have any work rescaling them
Btw i would like if the "zooming" effect could be more smoother and slower if its possible...
Hope you like ma pics!
Regards
Thanks, let me check that out.
As for zooming, the speed can be changed, not a problem I didn't actually test on hardware, just on emulator, so it might not be optimal yet...
TODO list (note to myself) :
- Auto-zoom
- Back button
- Speed button
edit : hey, nice set of pics I'll definately include most of them in the next release (either as additional pictures or as a remplacement. like flickr-color-picker.jpg which will be perfect to replace a sort of crappy image I had in the same style ^^) Thanks !
edit2 :
Better not or are you willing to made a "special" adult version ?

Could be fun if you know where to find nice pics (IE, with nice and different colors, won't be as simple)
edit3 (last one, I promise !) :
Still looking for a good theme for the icon and the viewer, if anyone has an idea, please share !
I found few random pics... hope you can use them
Yay, those are awesome !
I'm currently finishing a set of 50 sexy photos, then I'll see if it works good enough with those
Cool and amazing app! Works perfectly on WM2003! Keep working
I think that you should make other app like that: http://www.mazaika.com/mazdownload.html for ppc (WM 2003 support for sure! ).
Nice work!
Thanks for the link. That one seems nice too, but the images are in 64x64, whereas I use nice and big 240x240 images ^^ I'm thinking of modifying my PC .Net exe and redistributing it... It could produce a file like myimages.prp which would contain all the data needed, and could be copied on the PPC to open it...
As for SexyPerpetual, tested, it works pretty well ! The images aren't the best as I used the first image pack I could download on bittorrent. Not sure what the forum policy is for the kind of stuff, so I will not post a link to download it. Just send over a quick PM requesting the link and I'll answer back
As for the video, if you want to take a look, here the link for the normal version's video : http://www.palib.info/blog/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.xflib.net/Games/Perpetual/Perpetual.flv
Just keep replace the name by the sexy version's name and you should be able to view it (if the admins don't want this posted, please just tell me and I'll remove it !)
yes it woudl be cool if you can provide a tool that we can use to compile "our" versions with our pictures. it would be simpler than having to make special requests to you and sending many pics ?
but also if you really want pics, perhaps we can all send some to you ? public ftp or classic sharing sites like rapidshare ?
SexyPerpetual is very nice But insert "more naked photos" xD
BTW: I like kaiser47s idea
Kaiser47, feel free to use any method to send of photos
Yeah, I know, the sexy version misses a few naked photos ^^ But I just took a pack found on bittorrent, and used the ones with the most colors (because if I use only naked women on a white background, the transitions will be crappy, so I needed to have blue, red, etc....). If you have a pack with nice naked photos, I'll add them to the pack
I'm currently modifying the PC part of the code to generate a special file which could be distributed and read by the PPC app, that way anyone can do an image pack
Cool idea
I do not have ones so I will w8 for new versions xD
A few weeks ago I started skining the 5.04 Camera to look like 6.08. That was fairly successful, however the main issue, lag time, was of course not affected. I then started trying to hack AF into the 6.08 Camera version & had issues getting it to function as it relies on some different resources that I could not get functioning concurrently.
So, last night I started playing with a new idea. Renaming & resources from one of the two camera versions allowing for both cameras to be installed, having one called to initialization by a long camera keypress.
Anyone familar with widows mobile (Arm) executables & resource hacking willing to help out on this idea & test it?
Is this something people would like to see in a cooked rom? Would the ability to toggle the camera depending on what you need, Auto-Focus or Speed, be appealing?
It really wouldn't add too much weight to the ROM, as both Camera use primarily the same resources/DLL's. Would having a choice of a macro/micro (AF) mode bee something you'd like to see?
Hi man,
Realy great what you want to do but to be honest I don't like the camera atm cause the front camera isn't working with the 6.8 build (correct me if I'm wrong).
I would rather have both camera's supported on my Kaiser to use this build.
Together with the Opal dialer with videocall enabled that would be a awsom job!
Grtz,
Leo
Great Suggestion!
I have not looked into that at all, My last TYTNII is dead, so I am on a Tilt. If you are willing to give it a test since you have both cameras, I will look into implementing that as well.
BTW, I will be moving this into the Development & Hacking thread soon. I just wanted to start it here to see if any Kaiser users had any camera hacking experience or suggestions.
I would be glad to help you my friend.
Please let me know when you have something!

I have been able to specifically locate the function handling the camera AF uysing IDA Pro, I also see that there appears to be some hard coding of FPS information/limits in the camera executable for the 5.04 Kaiser Camera.
This info is not present within the newer (Opal) camera as far as I can tell & may be a reason why it seems to outperform the Kaiser Stock Camera. There is also no information or AF calls within the Opal Camera executable. Hence, without a complete rewrite of the program I cannot simply integrate AF into the newer camera.
Lost...
Anyone???
I have tried renaming the resources & creating a new registry tree all to no Avail.
I seem to have enough resources available to operate trhe second camera, however I cannot get it to initialize. Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you found many functions involved in the AF management, in the old version ? I'm a bit busy with the Dialer, but since we're both using IDA Pro, I may take a look to what you've documented so far in the IDA database... I'm not a big expert in camera apps, but who knows...
BJK
There are about 6 or so references. Both cameras use primarily the same resource files, so it appears to me that the AF function is coded into the executable.
I had pretty much given up on the addition of AF to the new 6.8 camera & had decided it would be easier for a novice like me to just add support for a second camera program.
However, that task is also throwing me at the moment. I have built a new cab, with renamed files & some hacks to point to the renamed files, I have also created a moddified registry tree to co-exist with the one for the OEM camera, yet when I select the newly moddified camera it tries to launch, but won't initialize.

That's why I asked. It seems a single-threaded apartment issue. If it is an external .dll, maybe it could not be designed for multiple concurrency...

When I get a moment I will post what I have found, the differences in the executables & the AF refernces & coding.
It may all be moot however, as I take a look at the Raphael camera, which allegedly has AF as well as a newer camera. We shall see.

Good, thanks !
Again, need to reiterate that arm executables are not my thing, however, I have hacked the Ralph Camera & it uses the same icons & resource (Mostly) as the Kaiser & Opal.
However when I build a new cab just to see if the AF is working already on the new Fuze ROM Camera I get an unsigned error message.
Can one of you ARM pros give me some insight?
Fuze Camera is new version & definitely has AutoFocus support!
Works with the existing hacked QVGA .mui & icon files, but when trying to create the cab I still get unsigned error.
Anyone???
Here is the start of an OEM QVGA package. Exe still won't launch.
Anyone want to take a look? Do I need to resign the app, the exe?
It includes all files & images resized & hacked for QVGA including the .mui files. The exe is throwing me badly though.
The OEM can be found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/159104147/HTC_Camera_6_Fuze_OEM_QVGA.rar
However, it seems the sensorSDK references are giving me the issues. Maybe need to find a way to null them out or default landscape.
If I'm understanding correctly, you'd like a switch to use the camera version with AF and the camera version without AF. Correct or am I completely missing something here? If I AM understanding correctly, then I would be all for this, as this would really make the camera on the Kaiser at least sort of useful, as opposed to only usable in certain conditions.

Have you removed the signature before patching the files ? You have to remove it from each signed file you're going to patch, to be able to use it. I can do it for you, if you wish...

Hi
first, sorry that I interrupt this thread and asking about improvement of frame rate for shooting video throw HTC camera, am have Cruise and has low frame rate in video recording and I think that Kaiser has the same issue, am using the famous camera trick " run camera program, hiding the lens, power off devise and waiting for Sec's, then power on again" which rising the frame rate from 4 to 19 frame/sec in video shooting but with darkens pic, did any one analysis this trick and try to get solution for camera low rate problem or found why 6.08 camera is faster than 5.04
finaly i hope that see this project come true

I second that. ist there still any development?
As I mentioned in the previous thread (which may be deleted now), I'm playing with the snake sample game. I was trying to create a menu following this guide (the XML way). I did exactly as the guide says but when I tried to run the project, the console said "main.out.xml: Error parsing XML: no element found".
Now there's an error in the project, but all files seem valid (there's a red cross sign next to the project, but not next to any one of the files). When I try to run the project, it tells me to fix the errors. WTF ? This is driving me crazy
Of course I tried googling, but I found nothing that could help me.
Another thing I wanted to do with the Snake app is change the way the snake is controlled - instead of keyboard I want it to be controlled either by swipe or by the accelerometer. Can any1 help me with that ?
I already got swipe, now off to accelerometer movement.
And any help with the menu thing would be appreciated too.
Guys help me out here. I'm trying to make a menu for the snake app, so one could set up things like max. apples at a time, move delay decrease rate and stuff like that. How should I do this ?
I thought of creating a new activity for the options which will be called from the menu (this menu will be shown after pressing the menu button). Is that a good solution ?
Seriously... WHAT THE **** ?!?!
I create a folder under 'res' named 'menu'. I create a file under 'menu' named 'menu.xml'. I instanly get an error message : 'error: Error parsing XML: no element found'. Now I can do whatever the **** I want (I put some menu items in it), I will NEVER EVER launch the app again, because it says there's an error in the project even though there are NO ****ING ERRORS ! FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Are you sure you didn't try to run the .xml file instead of the whole project? When you do that you get an error, a 'main.out.xml' file and your app wont run until you delete it
For the first time I did. But the app didn't run even after I restored everything to the previous state. I had to delete the whole project and create it again.
Now I didn't even press the run button - I got the error right after creating the xml file.
But now I get it - I can create a menu, but I always have to delete the project (keep the files) and create it again. Kinda sucks.
Now please could any1 give me advice on how to handle the snake by tilting the phone ? I googled my ass off, but didn't find anything I could use.

Next time you get an error, try simply deleting it from the error log. Eclipse is buggy as hell and sometimes that can fix things (if not the error will just appear again).
As for using the accelerometer, i can't really help you but it looks pretty complicated!
Try looking through the source code of "Amazed" - http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/source/browse/#svn/trunk/Amazed/src/com/example/amazed - It may be of some help!
Well if it's complicated then screw it, I don't have much time to funk around.
I'll try the menu, but I'm still not sure if I shoul create an extra activity for the menu. How do I save the settings if I do ?

That's an overstatement. It's a lot simpler to do than implementing your own listview adapter, for example.
Anyway, all you need to is just let your class implement SensorListener. Then you will need to override two methods; onSensorChanged and onAccuracyChanged. Each are pretty explanatory. Inside onSensorChanged however you will need to check the sensor type, and before you can listen to the sensor you need to register it with the SensorManager (system service). Remember to unregister when you don't need it any more else it will just pointlessly suck battery.
There are many tutorials, but it is really easy to do. Just Google them if unsure, the link posted by Meltus doesn't make it easy to see how it's meant to be used.
OK, first I need to make the menu work.
So first I need to create an activity that extends PreferenceActivity. Then I create a preferences.xml file and an arrays.xml file, that's more or less clear to me.
What bothers me is that I only found 4 types of Preferences - List Preference, EditText Preference, Checkbox Preference and Ringtone Preference. Is that it ? A ****load of apps uses a number choosing preference, where you have a text input a + and a - button - did they all have to create a custom preference type ?
And I have one more dumb question - I just can't for the life of me call the damn preference activity. How do I do that ?
OK, preferences are all done.
