pPod

Hi
I know this project was put on hold, but does anyone have any contact details for the team behind it? I can't remember the company name.

Are kidding, right? You can't be that much of a noob, no one can. Have you even heard of google??
Type your query and the FIRST hit you get gives your answer.
Do that before creating useless threads.

Now read. They went out of business.

/me claps at agovinoveritas
Yes I knew that, I've been to their now ex-website http://www.starbriteltd.com
My question was, who was behind it and where are they now, does anyone know?

Oh yeah, I've also emailed the current owner of the domain name in the hope he has the contact details for the previous owner.

I have that little app on my 8525. Works great.

so please, upload it here!
thanks

why not just download it?

i think LlamaV3 is looking for the people behind so he can maybe get the source code to work more on the project like adding support for other formats then just mp3

Yeah, i have htc audio manager and mortplayer, but i hope somebody can pimp up pPod just a little bit, love that little app!!!! Good luck, hop i get a copy :-D

It's not that hard to find it. I wish they used image files like .bmp or .jpg for the skins so we could at least reskin it to make it like the newer generation iPods.

I got it years ago, but there are a few things which could be improved: the skinning, setting a default music folder, D-Pad action button support, ... (all of this is of course my own personal wish list!)
Hope theres someone who knows a bit about how to do this stuff (and maybe more...)

Why not just apply this skin to WMPlayer? http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14162

Because of 2 reasons.
1) It's ugly as hell.
2) It doesn't have the scroll wheel function like the actual program does.

pPod is still easy to find for download. I found it about a week ago.

I agree :-D
but a "real" options or settings page with a few more options to choose from would be great ( i wish i knew how to edit pPod :-D)

no source code still, I've been trying to start something from scratch but for the life of me I can't figure out how to play an mp3 on the mobile platform (first time programming mobile). It's embarrassing, can't even find any example source code that works.

PictureFlowWM5/6 NEW Version 0.7 Released!! [0.7 Hot Fix, Download Now!!][1/24/08]

Hey all,
Well, I've been playing around with this for a few hours now, and the prospect looks pretty good. I haven't touched QT since I was about 16, but I seem to still remember a little . I'm sure you've seen the videos of pictureflow running on the the HTC touch, well, now it's your chance to test it out on your own device!
It runs perfectly smooth on my Wizard, but I haven't been able to test it out very extensively.
It has been compiled with the re-worked version that Jesper did for the chumby, which adds simple mouse support, and fullscreen ability. Link:http://ariya.blogspot.com/search/label/pictureflow
Things you should know:
This demo will load up any image files that are in the same directory as the exe.
Supported image formats:JPEG, PNG, BMP, XBM, XPM and PNM
I think that's pretty much it, I'll be looking at optimizing things, and researching the dropping of some of those dll files. Otherwise, our rom cookers will have to weave them in there somehow.
Looking forward to hearing about how it runs. .
PS.
No windows mobile 2003 support.
Thanks to alipendier for working with me online to make sure of proper WM5 support.
Updates::
Version 0.6 [1/21/08]:
Ok the long awaited 0.6 Release. Basically, there is only one bad thing about this release (for me at least), and I'm going to say it now.Please don't complain about this, I know it's a prob. Fullscreen images look like crap! It's a small problem, and will be fixed, possibly with a hotfix soon. Why? In an effort to make Everything as efficient as possible, I asked myself? Why load full sized images in the PictureFlow ribbon? So on load, I get the thumbnail versions of each picture, and load those instead. The result is, A MUCH MUCH MUCH faster loading time on my wizard! It was really noticeable for me, and I hope the same for everyone else.
Re-Added support for all the other picture formats that your device reads natively.
I'd also like to extend a HUGE thank you to A_C for sending me a PM alerting me to the Imaging API for our windows mobile devices. Imgdecmp, truly pales in comparison. I threw the funkiest pictures at PictureFlow, and they all load up BEAUTIFULLY, and quickly. I'm talking 50+ images, of all different formats, and even a few 1mb+ images in the mix up. And this is all from the storage card.
If PictureFlow doesn't like an image (for some strange reason) it shouldn't reload the last picture it loaded over and over again. This release is the biggest step towards efficiency, I really hope that everyone else experiences what I have experienced on my Wizard.
Oh, and I've erased the download links for all the previous versions, except 0.5. This version should work for both WM5/6 users.
Enjoy this one guys.
Version 0.7 01/24/08: (Hot Fix For 0.7 Below) <<< Everyone should install it!
Finally, version 0.7! Instead of typing a paragraph I'll do this one list style.
1)Full screen pictures don't look like crap anymore when you full screen them.
2)Aspect-Ratio problems FIXED! So your pictures of all resolutions should look good.
3)Appleton's graphics have been added, so PF looks a lot better than before.
4)All graphics are loaded up dynamically, and can be found in the gfx folder. So you can make whatever changes you'd like to them. Advanced skin support will come later. But for now, you can change the buttons to whatever you'd like, once they've got the same size . Artists, go crazy!
I think that's it,
Let me know how things go.

works lika a charm on my htc Prophet @286Mhz.
Keep on developing i would say!

Hi,
Dexxa05 has just put up a compiled item in appleton's thread just above this one. Is his compilation different to yours or can we test either?
Thanks for putting this up, by the way.

my prophet just shows me a blank (black) screen.

This version includes simple mouse support, as well as joystick support. I don't think he compiled his own with mouse support . Also, his own comes with some nice testing images.
@E_Shinobi
Are your pictures in the same folder as the exe? Also, remember, they must be in PNG, BMP, XBM, XPM or PNM format. No jpeg.

BMP wouldn't work. Tested it with PNGs and now it's working nearly flawlessly on non overclocked prophet.
This is very promising! Glad to finally see that work.
@lijnsane: As he wrote, he FORGOT to compile it with jpeg decompression. Sometimes reading actually helps

It works perfect on my Cingular 8125

@thundershadow14
You've done it again!! Just when I thought I couldn't get more surprised by your work, you've managed to make me fall on my ass one more time. I know it is still in very early stages, but it works like a charm in my BA!!!
I will report bugs as I see them.
Bugs so far:
*Having a way to close the program would be nice
*jpeg support (of course you already know that
*zoom
*directory support would be a nice feature
*transition could be a little smoother, but I guess it might have to do with the fact that I am running from the SD card.
Other than that, keep it up!!!!!!!!! Great Job!!!!!!!

As indicated above, I forgot to add jpeg support while compiling QT. For demo purposes this isn't such a big problem, and it actually is quite useful for testing. Anyone who wants to use this method will just have to compile QT with jpeg support. Or do on the fly conversion, I think QT has a method for this, but I'm not sure.

I can't wait for it to work with jpeg's. Excellent work my friend.

Ehmm guys, can i ask you something.
Where do i put this program because i copied the files to my storage card and run the exe but what ever i do (copied a gif file in every single folder i tought the program would get it from) it doesn't show the picture.

place the complete pictureflo folder in your programfiles folder "programmabestanden" and then copy some files: PNG, BMP, XBM etc (see first post for suported files) into the pictureflo folder and start the .exe
Close program with the call end button

Okay back again, and now i know why it didn't work :ashame: i used an animated gif to test. I never looked futher than the extension .
Nice app still in the kids shoes but i look really good, i think once more developers notice this app the development will go very fast.

Make Your own Panel (I think)

Hi All,
Don't know if somebody already posted this, but I couldn't find a thread about it.
I just saw a link in a Dutch forum regarding a website where you can create your own panel.
Here's the link: http://www.mysonyericssonblog.com/x1panelcreator/index.php?step=1&lang=en
It's just that my Italian is not that good, so I cannot find the guide. Maybe somebody here can find it and explain how it exactly works. But it sure looks promising.
Herman

Here is the English tutorial
BTW. It's an HTML panel designer

WOW Nice find,
without reading it all yet, will do later, it looks like it will be incredibly simple to do something such as a program launcher.

cool, i'm thinking of making a Hyves panel (dutch facebook like social website)..
Groet, Steven

this sounds great but i dont know how to program in html
anyone one able to give me a basic guide

Wow! This is a great find!
Now I just need to come up with some good panel ideas...

Nice!
What you guys want?

Get hold of a WYSIWYG website editor and use one of those..
I think dreamweaver is still available as a trial, try that to build what you want to see, then save the page as html.
otherwise there's huge amounts of websites that give tutorials on html, it's not difficult at all.

SE Panel SDK supports native panel (i.e. panel developed using windows programming technique) and html-based panel. the latter will be more designer-friendly, but probably won't be sophiscated as the native since API will be limited. That said, with all the panel request on running certain app as the background, I got to say html-based panel might just well do the job.

This is a really awesome find. Makes things simpler/quicker...

Sounds like a good idea.
At the minute im just making a simple development panel.
Just so people can see how it works when they look at the HTML of the panel etc.
Ive managed to open .exe's etc, just wondering how to open sections of the .exe.
For example: clock.exe opens up the alarm bit where you can set alarms. However im wondering if the tabs on that part are also part of clock.exe
Does anyone know how I can access \\Windows of my X1 on my PC? I can only seem to access it using Total Commander on my X1 and to be honest. Its hard to scroll through thousands of files on such a small screen lol

As long as you've got activesync or the vista version installed you should be able to go through my computer.. But I'm on my linux machine at the mo so can't say what exactly the path is.
I don't think you can overwrite files in x1 windows btw direct from the pc.

[DEV STOPPED!!!] wFacebook [QVGA & VGA] - SEE POST #284

EDIT:
DEVELOPMENT HAS STOPPED! Microsoft released a Facebook application which far surpasses anything i could have done. Please use that app for all your facebook addictions. It does not have Facebook chat but you can use Palringo for Facebook Chat. I've been using it for about a week now and LOVE IT! Thank you for all your support. It was a good learning experience for me!
Inspired by the other development efforts on here, I started developing my own version a facebook application.
As promised, another beta. This one including a VGA line.
See Second Post for Features and change logs
Directions:
You need .net cf 3.5
Unzip, Start app, Login and enjoy
BOTH FILES INCLUDED IN THE ZIP NEED TO BE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY!!! If you want to make a shortcut, make sure you make a SHORTCUT of the .exe and don't just copy the .exe alone
(Please not that it does take some time to first log in to facebook (some times up to 2 minutes). We are working on this issue and will hopefully reduce this time as much as possible.)
wFacebook is now full screen. To exit you must do the following:
QVGA: There is an exit button on the Home Screen (temporarily placed here)
VGA: There is an exit button on the bottom bar
NEW PICTURES COMING SOON!
Hope you guys enjoy and I will be updating this regularly. Planned features include facebook chat and other goodies. Stay tuned.

I am admittedly very weak in the graphics department. I want to make this look like what the Windows Mobile Community wants.
I am getting help developing new controls that will provide a more intuitive User Interface. Stay tuned everyone. Big things are happening. There are a decent amount of people behind this project and together we can get something very good out. Maybe start a whole series of wSomething products

i am willing to help with the graphics designing..id like to make sure that this thing works on vga though..the other application doesnt work at all on my touch pro..
just tell me the formats and size (both VGA and QVGA...i can make them in VGA first and then downscale to QVGA so that no quality is lost) of those images and i'll do my best
edit..i tried the qvga version and it does work up to one extend but the layouts are messed up
anyway let me know if you would like some help for the images

It does not need to be authorized. Please exit and restart the application. I have noticed a bug where if you recieve a call or text when it is connecting, something goes out of wack. Exit and restart and it should connect just fine. It does take a bit to connect but never that long.

I would be willing to help you with graphics just let me know and I'll whip some up for you

Is this right after you were logged in? Which button did you press? I will be uploading another version shortly that copies the error messages so you guys can attach here.
The most important thing is funtionality so I will be tackling these issues right away so any directions you can provide about what you did to get the error would be extremely helpful (if I can't reproduce it, I can't fix it).

Since facebook can be user customised with various applications and stuff, replicating an error might now always be feasible. Plus handling someone with a few thousand friends (yeah right ) could be troublesome.
Maybe for the first versions you can add a full debug log? Before every major function call you can write to file the arguments you are using (or at least a note of you are going to do). It might be slow(er) from a user perspective, but could make your life and debugging *much* easier.

As with the other Facebook application here, this one logs you out of facebook from other machines/devices when you log in with this app.

[Info]E-reader

Just thought i would share my search for a good e-reader for my HD2.
I have not installed doc tabs or ereader from HTC so looking for 3rd party options.
Freda looks ok - but nothing special that stands out. just a good solid app.
Lexcycle - dont do one for WM.
Mobipocket seems interesting and snazzy with desktop integration and is the one i chose -it does sync, and guttenberg also has mobipocket files, and it can import pdf and html and text etc. it seems well featured with most features you would expect and want.
HOWEVER, just be warned that the cab from their website did not work on first install. I had to uninstall it, and then install to my device via the mobipocket desktop software before touch navigation and menus would work.
It seems adequately features and not as nice as stanza, but OK. If you have touchscreen woes though, install through the desktop app.
Other suggestions are of course welcome.

I think there is one called AIreader that everyone recommends...might want to look it up.
I haven't tried it personally...I like the HTC ereader, but I need to find the cab for it alone since my new rom doesn't have it on it...

I am in love with AlReader! Just perfect!
Im attaching the (freeware) English version. Hope that's okay (it's so hard to find on the web)

I'll give it a try tomorrow and update my post
p.s. I am reluctant to give htc's ereader a whirl as apparently it is quite buggy.

I also like this one...but it would be soooo cool if we got a fingerfriendly version for our HD2...anyone up to the task.
I admit I still have a longing for the tabbed interface and large book covers that you get from the HTC e-reader

Yup that is the one is perfect for the HD2 and I love how you turn pages (I inverted top tapping to forward a page and bottom tapping to return to previous page) I found it to be very good, fast and with a lot of extra options
try it! you will not regret it!

The best Ebook reader on Windows Mobile is Allreader+. Unfortunately it isn't free but is worth the money, it can read all the important formats as far as I'm concerned and it has so many options that allow you to set it up exactly as you want.
Other options which are good are uBook and Mobireader.

Of course Freda already has finger-friendly navigation (configurable swipes and taps) to change page etc. As for finger-friendly settings screens, bookmarking and table-of-contents navigation, I am working on it ...

Thanks for Freda by the way, it really is gorgeous. I think I will end up using it over AlReader when it loads a little faster and can open in fullscreen mode by default.
But love it!

Can you check the build number on your start-up flash screen. If it is less than 804, it might be worthwhile for you to download a new version (use the dropbox link on my website) - because build 804 should be capable of starting up in fullscreen mode.

Hi Jim,
any chance of Freda supporting the .pdb format ?, All my old scifi books are in that format & I can't find any updates for them

To be honest, adding support for extra formats is not one of my priorities for Freda development - because it would make the program bigger, slower and buggier, and in the long run I expect EPUB to become the format of choice.
That said ...
1) As Freda is open-source, someone else might feel differently, and might develop a version to read additional formats. I'm doing some refactoring at the moment, so that adapting Freda in this way will become fairly simple.
2) Calibre is a good (PC based) package that can convert various formats into EPUB; it might be a good solution for you.

I am in love with AlReader! Just perfect!
Im attaching the (freeware) English version. Hope that's okay (it's so hard to find on the web)

Thanks for the tip! Will check it out on my HD2 1.66 WWE

Big thumbs up here for Freda! Finally an e-reader which natively supports epub format. No more hassle of converting with Calibre and using Mobipoicket (although not a bad e-reader).
Some minor naggles but I can live with those...
