Guys,
Please look here onwards to find out what VJSihaya is about, and why the hell I haven't finished VJOkButt yet.
This is not released, not finished, not even entirely contemplated yet. But, have a look and tell me what you think. No testers required for now...

cool stuff. if only I had a vga
Ady, it works on QVGA, VGA, WM2003 and WM5. There's less point using it on QVGA, but it works. Useful to keep contacts open while you're dialing on the phone etc.
V
Amazing VJ,
What does it look in QVGA landscape, cause it seems very promising to me. & now back to fix VJOkButt pls ;-)
Cheers, M
oltp - at QVGA, it looks like the screenshot but 1/4 the size It's obviously less useful, but you can see the skins more clearly.
I've promised I'm not working on anything new for a while now. I'm going back and rebuilding my old apps this weekend so I can move on with this one. So VJOKButt will finally be OK. I hope
V
VJ,
For me there's no hurry to get a new VJOkButt, I bypassed the phone prob & the red button has it's default behavior. I now QuarterVGA is small, on a magician VGA is really pointless. But landscape may be worth trying.
Regards, M
Damn VJ
That is looking smooth.
I'm waiting impatiently 4 a full release...
But now ya have a lot of VJ progs isnt it possibly
2 put them all 2gether in 1 piece? easy and effective?
VJ Operating System or sumthang? :idea:
VJ2005 has been suggested, but as ever, it's too obvious a name for me. Will have to think of something obscure!
I was just thinking - VJSihaya is going to use some low level code to implement windowing. In this way, it might be possible, and this is a big >might<, to grab notifications and show them in an alternative fashion. No promises, but we could then have MSN style sliding popups to show new appointments, incoming calls etc. But I won't try to build up expectations, just directions I'm thinking in.
V
Keeeep on thinking mate, keeeep on thinking mate.
You will bring us lots of nice apps.
oltp: one of my testers has posted some screenshots for QVGA.
It's not very clear, but will give you an idea:
V
V: that looks very promising & at least worth a try. Are you multi-threaded/multi-core, so you can develop your projects parallel?
Man you must be busy with all these developments.
M
Am I multi-threaded? Put it this way - about as well as most Microsoft products are . I have the occassional BSOD, and when travelling on the Tube in London, will occassionally hang, dribbling saliva onto the next passenger. Not a pretty sight, but a good way to get seats...
Seriously: many apps happening at the same time, some overlapping which is useful, some confusing which is frustrating, and many you guys haven't seen, and many I haven't fully envisaged yet.
I have a cool idea for entering new appointments. On the Smartphones I could do it with about three clicks. With Wm2003 and Wm5, I still need a stylus. Am working on an app for that.
And just this lunch time, I thought of a name for another app that I'm writing: VJGreyGoo. It's a long story!

Would be very nice to have that, hate it to use the stylus often. OSV-J then?

vj,
I know youve heard it a million times but you do rock dude! I would love to get my hands on this great app as soon as you make it available.
Seriously, thanks for all your hard work and the fact that you do let everyone enjoy your genius.

This is VGA resized to QVGA.....
Yes, but he's running it without the VGA hack, so it's >almost< QVGA. VGA is such a tempremental hack, I don't want to risk going back to QVGA. I'll try to get some shots from my magician if I can.
V
Wow, what a great idea. it looks beautiful. VJ you have to hide for Windows CE seekers. Great. When will it released? Come on: One Test version...
Hello VJ,
I like the theme/backgriund on these images.
Can you share it, our give a link where to get it?
Conchas: I love the woman's face.
Even more beautiful enlarged, and part of the motivation behind VJSihaya. I want proper wallpapers I can see!

I know you can download different today plug-ins, and i know about VisBar and such, but I don't see how your today screens look so different from mine (after looking at various 'today screen' threads).
My screen is just several horizontal lines, with the usual "no new messages", "active tasts", etc, and a couple of plugins.
I see people's screens with a completely different layout.
Cheers for any replies
matheprat: it might be worth reading through some of the threads on this subject, eg here:

Thanks for the link, very helpful.
How do you get rid of only the bottom toolbar in WM5? I downloaded the program that other people had used, but I could only get rid of the top bar (which i'd prefer to keep), and not the bottom one.
Cheers
matheprat: If you're referring to the program ToggleToday, I haven't released it yet for WM5, but it's coming very soon.

If you need an alternative, try Wisbar Desktop Advance.
V
Note: Wisbar 2 or desktop is very very laggy
Use PPX instead if you want better speed, its just as good as WisDesktop.
This is the skin I m currently using
Does PPX work on WM5? Looking on their website it doesn't mention specific compatibility, but has anyone got it runniung satisfactorily?
Cheers,
Fin
Yes, I forgot to mention PPX. It takes quite a bit of headscratching to get it set up, but it works well in the end. Never tried it on WM5.

I'm still looking for a alternative interface for my phone to operate more easily with my fingers instead of my stylus.
It's so hard to quickly find a contact in my contact list while on a bike, in my car, etc since the scrollbar is like 3 pixels wide. Or to lock the phone or close an application, the icons are to frigging small
Not that I have big hands, rather small for a guy even but still...
Any suggestions?
matheprat: not sure when it'll be released, when I get time!
I'm working on too many other things as well, it's really just when I get a few minutes to work on each bit. Hopefully release fairly soon, as I said, WM5 is done, I need to join it to my old WM2003 code and then check it against a companion today plugin I wrote. Quite a bit of behind the scenes stuff involved

I didn't mean to come accross pushy, sorry if I did. I know there's a lot of work needed in developing programs, and no doubt it will be worth it when it is released.
Many thanks
matheprat: no offence taken at all, didn't think you were being pushy.
ToggleToday was one of the first programs I ever wrote, and then I bought myself a Universal to start development on, but accidently wrote VJBigPhone and that kept me busy for a month or so
Now VJBigPhone has gone quiet, I'm finally getting around to re-writing ToggleToday! It's a messy program to write, particularly for dual WM5/WM2003 compatibility, but the basic code is written. Now I'm wrapping it together and will work on a GUI for it.

i use .mobile contacts on my jam and it makes finding contacts and calling them much much easier while driving. don't know if its completely compatible with WM5 but won't hurt to try. heres the link http://www.sygic.com/mobile/phoneedition/index.php
The MOST stable Today Information plugin eva
By the way, can someone recommend the most stable Today Information Plugin?
I was using latest PowerLevel plugin by ScaryBear but it has lots of memory allocation/deallocation problems. Then I switched to simple 15Kb "TodaysInfo" plugin by Lou Terrailloune (v1.7) and it is quite stable but it has significant rendering delays when rotating screen. So, what is the most stable/fastest one to show battery/memory levels and perhaps it can inform you when your battery charge completed (aka PowerLevel/AudioInformer)?
Thanx!!!
Sounds good - any chance of a link?
Hey all, dunno if this should really be wizard specific, but here goes...
I'm looking for a way to apply an animated background to my today screen, using a single GIF file. I'm not sure if it is possible myself, but the flash ones soak up so many processor cycles, on an already limited device... I have run a basic search, but i've not come up with anything other than how to use one as a sort of screensaver.
Would be nice to have some slowly animated backgrounds, like the ones I stole off my mum's new w950i (which is also very nice, although not a scratch on the wizard).
Hope someone can help, thx
Brins0
Hi
iwould appreciate something like this aswell, but another thing that would be awsome is Animated caller ID or mayb if we can set short .mp4 or 3gp or .wmv file to playback a video instead of just a picture!! i no that on my symbian devices i can do it with a third party application, it has the ability to associate a .3gp as the file for a specific caller then a music video plays instead!!!!.

i suspect that FaceLift is just embedding an HTML control on the today screen. Can be very resource heavy for the solution. There are better apps for that job...

Thanks vijay
I am testing activetoday (diff from facelift), any recommendations V?
EDIT Activetoday works v nicely, only 47kb install and takes 200kb ram. I would consider buying
EDIT2 Seems a little buggy - you have to soft reset after each change of animated gif, but still good Still works after standby etc....
I don't know if it's actively developed anymore, but there's an app called SideX which I think is great. Lets you float keyboards, plugins etc.

I no others are trying to get this interface to work on other HTC phones is there anyone trying to get it on the Universal? As I use my phone in portrait mode 65% of the time it would seem the best interface to have for a portrait device?
Try this and reply
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/2120/implement-the-new-htc-touch-interface-to-your-pocket-pc.html
This is for qvga only !! and not for ours Universal which is VGA...too bad ...
I too am also very interested in seeing this made for the Universal, any developers here thinking about making a VGA version?.... :-D
Thanks for the link, I guess when I get WM6 will give it a shot. The only thing it does not have is the "cube interface". Unless we can get a ROM chef to incorporate it in to OUR ROM. But thanks again.
I tried the ivan's wm6 touch rom posted in the Universal Mobile 6 board, not good, all the nice touch interface become ugly, waiting for someone get a vga touch interface.
So your using the final beta? I've heard mixed reviews of that ROM. Have you tried the files in the linked posted above they say it will work with WM6. I guess we need someone with a vanilla ROM to try it. So does Ivans ROM have the "cube Interface" or just the HTC home plugin and the comm manager?

I tried that rom and found the touch interface is ugly then switched to other rom. I don't think the linked htc home plugin will work unless you know how to set it to work on vga mode. In the elf2 rom there is only htc home plugin, I didn't see the "cube interface", I maybe wrong since I didn't play too much in that rom. I am still trying different rom and haven't found one that is better,
Vanilla WM6 with linked CAB
Has anyone tried a vanilla WM6 with the linked CABS in this thread?
HTC Touch
I think people are overestimating just how good the touch interface is. I don't have one myself, but after watching every review on the net, it just doesn't look like the (*rolls eyes*) iPod equivalent everyone is saying it is. Sure, it looks pretty, but the interface is slow as hell, and the swipe feature will be hard to use on any device where the edge of the screen is raised.
I'll stick with Spb Mobile Shell with black theme on KDSKamal's WM6-Beautiful thank-you very much.
I hear ya', but I don't care about the Ifone, this an HTC product made for a specific phone Touch/Elf. Our phone is not going to be supported by any carrier anymore, so we as the collective need to make use of what our phone maker has to offer. The Touchflo is the newest thing, wether or not Apple came out with there phone or not I would still want that capability on my phone. Sure I could go buy WAD(Wisbar advance desktop) and recreate the look of it and some functionality of it; but with so many bright minds in this forum, as well as so many other phones of the HTC brand porting it to their phones I thought we might have a chance as well. Hell if I still have my phone and WM7 comes out I will try to get that as well! Please don't take this rant as personal attack, just had a hard day.
Peace
Peace back at ya man.
I agree that we should try to keep our Unis as up to date as possible, and I absolutely agree - when WM7 comes out, I want it on my Uni. What I meant was that, although TouchFlo IS the newest HTC 'innovation', it also seems to be one of their poorest. As I said, I haven't actually used one yet, but after a few hours of video reviews online, it just looks like a s l o w gimmick that HTC Touch users will get annoyed with after a week or so, and wish they could un-install.
Regards
I have both the Jasjar and the Touch and so far I am happy of having them both.
I really like the size of the touch and if you don't want to use the TouchFlo interface, use it like the ordinary PPC. There is no need to uninstall because the default interface is the same as the other PPCs.
Opps
Any updates about TouchFLO for Universal..
Neo users are having it!
Try this it's fantastic, though it has some bugs still.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328010
Its just a flash program!
Right, it is *.swf file.
You can create a shortcut *.lnk file that link to the *.swf file and place it \Windows\Startup\, bingo, your PPC boots up to Touch Flo.
But anyone figures out how to remove the demo wordings on it?
Wohooo!
HTC Home works on my SPV m5000!
But, looks like crap, fonts are under the skin, the contact icons are bigger than the frame so i can't see the face.

Oh and the PDA was slower.
EDIT: UNDER DEVELOPEMENT AND WILL BE RELEASED WHEN READY! KEEP AN EYE ON THIS THREAD!!!!
Here's an idea... when you turn your phone off, it locks... when you turn it on, you must roll your thumb/finger to the right around the wheel of the diamond to unlock it...
as you wheel around, the white line around the circle begins to fill from the top, moving rightward around...
sorry for the poor image quality, i just threw it together as a thought.
I hope a developer can throw this together, prolly isn't hard at all and would really be cool for the diamond. Better graphics and glowing line ofcourse.
its simple and utilizes the unique hardware of the diamond, and also the pro.

anyone like?
anyone down to try and create it?
Wish i could, but i have no idea where to start. i'm in the dark here.
to clear up any confusion that may come up, the lights on the wheel itself don't need to light up as you wheel around... only the circle on the screen.
as you would pass a point on the wheel, another section of the ring on the screen would fill in.
Sounds like a good idea. Hope someone have the time to make it.
im sure that 'wheel-2-unlock' is one of the features of the TouchXperience ROM but it would take a long time for this rom to be released i guess.
TouchXperience is a ROM? Not just a cab installation?
http://www.touchxperience.com/en/touchxperience.html
I really want this app....I miss many calls...
sounds good, i hope someone can do it
Ok guys, i got a good man to try and put this together... he's farther along than he thought and will be releasing something when he feels its ready to meet the world!
Sounds like a good idea - I posted something very like it in the AnswerKeys Disabler thread a few weeks ago!
Glad someone has the skills to make it happen!

CapacitiveFingerLock
I am working on such an idea already for a week or so:
CapacitiveFingerLock.
It will have another locking/unlocking mechanism on top of StylusLock, as described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2681112&postcount=62
Because I am now on a business trip in America, I had not much time to work on the program. But I haven proven already that it works. I have to remove some stuff from the proven program, and integrate it with my already existing StylusLock. The goal is that it does NOT cost extra battery power and CPU and is really simple to use.
The reason to add this, is to have it possible to lock and unlock "one handed". The StylusLock approach cannot be done "one handed", e.g. on a bike. Also some people do not like to operate with the StylusLock. The combination with this new CapacitiveFingerLock and existing StylusLock will suit more people. And sometimes people will use the Stylus, so they will get the right behaviour depended on the usage.
Good idea, as I do not use any locks or such applications, but this one sounds nice. Just remember that this app should not conflict with, or somehow overcover and incomming call

Woohoo, I've been asking for such a thing for weeks now. Do you have a working version already?
That would be awesome.
Definitely MUCH MUCH better than SensorLock and all the - no need to mention - rest!
Especially because SensorLock is still buggy as hell!
I made a little something for you!
Tippy is a bill splitter and tip calculator for Windows Mobile. It was designed to work on all resolutions and to never require use of the stylus.
I improved many things with v.1.1. Lots of bugs were fixed, UI was made easier to use and a big button SIP was added for number input. You should definitively update if you have 1.0!

I was affraid the demand would be too small but seeing people are interested I'll pursue development a bit.
VGA for devices is ready (Force QVGA) but it needs .net CF and I didn't want it around for a first release. I'll also add more currency symbols as suggested on another forum.
Something I did that I would like to see more often is settings saved to text files. It can be edited easily by anyone and leaves nothing after uninstall.
Thank you for sharing!
I am definately going to try this out.
Great idea!

feature request
i still haven't been able to put it on my phone, but i'll have a crack at it tonight... from the screen shot on your site... i like how the tip percentage and number of people are configured with finger friendly buttons... what do you think about adding an easier way to add the amount to tip? i don't know if you've used g-alarm... but maybe something like how you set the alarm time in that? where you have add/subtract buttons below each digit (that way u wouldn't have to bring up the keyboard).

i still haven't been able to put it on my phone, but i'll have a crack at it tonight... from the screen shot on your site... i like how the tip percentage and number of people are configured with finger friendly buttons... what do you think about adding an easier way to add the amount to tip? i don't know if you've used g-alarm... but maybe something like how you set the alarm time in that? where you have add/subtract buttons below each digit (that way u wouldn't have to bring up the keyboard).

That's interesting. I'll try G-Alarm and look for what you are talking about.
I might add a pop-up form with a keypad when you click the text box and see how this work.
I don't like the look very much so I might add a cuter UI (skinnable ) if it doesn't slow down the launch time too much.
I love the idea, and tried it. BUT the calucation is WRONG. Hope it will be fixed soon.

Oops! You are right! Once you start messing with the amount of people present it gets ugly. I'll fix that soon enough!
I don't test my apps enough
I fixed the results so they should be accurate now.
I'm currently working on a big keypad to type the amount. I will also add some languages and currencies and eventually skinnable interface.
UPDATE:
I made the following changes:
-Tip is now accurately calculated
-The amount is entered using a SIP keypad
-The + and - buttons for tip and people are now changing individual digits instead of the whole number. It's much faster and easier to enter it now.
-Changed the look a bit, fixed control resize errors when rotating screen, VGA should work well.
After all I won't add a skinnable UI to save space and keep the app fast and usable.
I only have a few minor fixes left to be done so I should release v.1.1 tomorrow. (I'm on Ubuntu and I'm too lazy to reboot... and Vista sucks).
Ta-da! An update!
A lot of stuff was fixed, including all of the suggestions except languages
looking good! now for a splash of color instead of that plain white background?
keep it up, thanks

I might try an alternative later.
