Hey,
I am wondering if it is possible to create Today screen plug in that displays how many calls have been missed and if less then a defined number (say 5) displays the callers names/number if known? Has something like already been done? If not, how hard would it be to implement this? Any clues to help me to start this project?
Thanks
Check if phoneAlarm with an appropriate skin suits your needs.
Absolutely, PhoneAlarm is my recommendation.
If you're asking if it's technically possible, of course!

[unfortunately the bit you want, last caller info, is obscurred because it was my Mistress or somesuch]
From a technical point of view, this is very easy to do on WM5 using the state and notification broker.
DKToday might also be helpful and is free.

Any idea which skin I should use to get the functionality I need? MOst of the skins just show indicator or number of missed calls. I want to see whose calls I have missed from the Today screen.
PhoneAlarm skins can be built to show this info as standard (most skins have this feature hidden until "maximsed". But there's nothing to stop you doing it by standard)

Over at Howard Forums we have a fellow with a setting that came on his unit that lets him map his soft keys. The thread is linked below. Can anyone help us get this thing out of his unit so other Wizard owners can enjoy it too?

This is just a registry hack.

Actually the setting we are talking about is coming on TMobile Wizards in the UK. It enables a icon in the Settings area called "Softkeys" that allows people to change their softkeys without a registry editor or making changes to the registry.
That is what we are really looking for. Sort of "native support" of changing the keys as opposed to a clumsy registry hack.
Aegeas
Sorry, I meant it is possible to achieve easily in the registry.
If you follow the brighthand thread, it's also included in the upcoming Tweak2k. But if you find the native app, it'll be useful.

Yeah, I don't find the registry hack clumsy at all. I have reprogrammed my buttons several times, and its really easy.
Ok.
Perhaps clumsy was too blunt. How about uncivilized
I noticed my friend's Treo 700w has a number of pictures as quick shortcuts to the contacts on his phone. Each one of these pics when clicked immediatedly calls the contact...
How is this achieved? Any idea, tools?
Same on my Linux phone. But not on Windows Mobile. MS prefers the "list view" instead of the "icon view".
You guys should read this board more. Sigh

i added the Treo 700w today contact hack. after installing it i realized that 90% of the time i use voice dial, it's just easier. hit the button on the side and say the name John Cell or John Home
Yeah, I use my phone as a PDA more than a phone. So, I don't fancy having an extra plugin that may be slowing down (the already slow Charmer) the phone. However, I've also notice that I've only like call 5-10% of the contacts in my phone, and it would be nice if there is an application that (say) open a new screen showing the name/photo of people that I call most often (or that of I configure). Any exisiting ones?
Hmm.. or I should consider using the speed dial feature
can any one tell me what toggle program this is from this picture
its the blue bar at the bottom i like it and it looks cool

It's the lock plugin built into the new roms. Check out a solution by me called VJDeviceLock, which was then superceded by another one. Read my short thread, find the link and then use the other app.
However, if you're talking about bluetooth toggle etc, the plugin is PhoneAlarm. It's fully skinnable (at the top)
V
thx alot and what program are you using on your today screen is that wisebar or somoething
gizm0luvsu: bunch of stuff, phonealarm, alarm today, I think SPB weather, VJTodaySpacer and VJEphemeris, all on top of VJToggleToday I.
V
When you use SPB weather does it cost you something ? I mean maybe will it connect first to GPRS to recieve the infos ? Or is it totallt free and doesn't cost anything by using it ?
Vijay,
I love your programs, and I am currently using your bluetooth toggle, and wifi toggle. I am having a problem changing the icons though. I just have a plain folder and that is it. Could you post a Dll, and explain to me how to type it in. I have tried everything and cannot get it to work. please please help

Hello all,
First, apologies if this is not the right place for this questions. Admins, feel free to move this thread to the most appropriate section.
I'm wondering if there is a way to customize WM5's standard notifications. By standard notifications, I mean the little pop-ups that inform the users about new messages, event reminders, incoming calls, missed calls, etc...
I know that some applications, like PocketCM and SU2U, already provide the ability to intercept such events and override the standard behaviors. However, I'm interested into any system, utility or application that would allow to customize every aspect of these notifications, and if possible provide the ability to skin them.
Maybe this image will better explain what I'm thinking about...

70 views and nobody got an idea ? Come on guys, I'm pretty sure that gurus like you have something to say about it !
It's definitely possible, as SMS-Chat by VITO gives very nice text notifications similar to what you've shown.
However, I think for this to happen you need to disable the system notifications and make the program create its own notification.
Dear bros,
I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.
Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.
This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help
I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.
Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.
Thanks once again!
Cheers.
