Today Plugins: which is most used?

Cause of low memory space i need to know how many users prefer a today plugin instead another.
Ps: If is Others (must have similar today functions of the softwares in the poll) , please write something about it!
Thanx for your contribute and sorry fotr my BAD english!

SkizZO: that's a very big question. What do you want your plugin to do? Many of us use many different plugins for very different reasons.

I generally use cLaunch as a launcher, or my own plugins. But if you want to read about different plugins, please have a good long read here and here.

I know I know (...i've forget claunch!!!)
You have to install ONE of this Plugins, and i want to discover which is most used by Magician users.

As a task closer, I use my VJOkButt. It's not perfect, but it works well for me. For launching, I use cLaunch. With SmallMenu as a startmenu replacement, that's pretty much everything I need.

I use PZP.

PzP Has not the function to put icons on the today screen...
however i hope spb is + used... but isn't a little heavy??
Currently i'm running Ilauncher (for icons)+ GSPocketMagic (taskManager)
(+Pocketweather+PZP+Egress+messaging)
and i would to change this "configuration"
@vijay555: i am talking of Today Plugin that put icons on the screen (and others individuals functions)

I use Resco explorer's Plug in.. I find it very nice and light... it shows battary, memory..etc, also allows you to add your own apllications shortcuts into the today screen....
very nice one indeed

You did not specify that in your original quote. You just mentioned Today plug-ins, not specifically ones that allow you to add icons.

ok you've right! but all the software in the Poll has this function.
xcuse me

Calendar+ and PPCprofilesPRO.
Regards,
Arto.

Currently ?
- JGUI Zodiac Date (jeus for the date, and it doesn't pop up anything if you accedently tap it )
- tAgenda (used to have Tasks, Inboy and CalenderPlus, tAgenda makes all three obsolete)
- Oh, and Nakka's TDLaunch, because it let's can configure Iconsize and margins !
Not really a Today Plugin, but it replaces Todays info perfectly : W-Tools ResInfo (yes, Battery stats, Storage and Mem gauge in the Tray! It even shows charging )
My taskmanager is PocketNav, and i use the camerabutton as TodayToggleOFF and the memobutton for TodayToggle (Hi Vijay ! Great tools ! Normaly i would have taken a dozen pictures of side of my pants !
Now nothing really serious happens if the buttons get pushed accedentaly!)

Wow, someone actually uses TodayToggle?!
There's a name I haven't head for a looong time
I like it, but I will really have to think of something useful to do with that app some day!
V

Well, it's usefull enough for me.
I used to have "Today" under a button, but always shutdown the PPC afterwards, so.......
And if i use TTN5, i don't want to PPC to trun of, hence....
AND i always had a problem with accendently pressing the side buttons, and now the at least don't open "Tasks" or like i said, worse; the camare and starts shooting...
Btw, i tried Hidestart, but it doesn't seem to do anyting but temp. show time and batt %....
I'm still looking for all kinds of "Thumbs only" or "Thick fingers" solutions, i use my PPC a lot 'one handed' or in the car...
Espec. setting snooze to 15 min. or so in the car is considdered 'reckless driving'

I haven't developed HideStart any futher than a very early preview a long time ago. I've got some ideas about changing the way notifications are presented, particularly in VJSihaya, but I still like the idea of HideStart.
However, I think that when you "ghost" reminders, they still try to silently activate themselves from time to time, which causes your current app to lose focus, which is irrititing if you're typing something. I thought it was a bug in my code until I realised this. However, I still use it to ghost reminders from time to time when I'm too busy to snooze them all
It's possible some code I wrote for the upcoming release of VJOkButt (used to get around incoming call notifications) might be of help here... but HideStart is not a priority right now unfortunately. I actually just developed it for my own use in a modified version so that I could switch between Start Bar, New Bar and ToggleToday. It shouldn't really have been released, but I thought the reminder remodeling code was a useful idea to demonstrate... more later, I've got work to do

So do i, if it worked If i only could find a decent prorgamming/scripting language for the PPC. Although Mortscript is pretty nice, it misses so features....
And i'm not really a programmer, more like a scripter... Maybe i should take some time to dive into VB or eVB (I can do quite nice things in Acces on the desktop !)

New version 0.3a is out

Looks nice and simple. Will try it out. How exactly does it work? tap tap a button to go to the next alphabet/character?

no no... tap to select character group and second tap to enter the desired char. So for every char you must tap twice. Looks maybe very slow but give it a try write some test messages and after a while you will improve in write speed

Why do you have to tap first to 'select' a group? Wouldn't it be easier to skip the selection and type an 'a' with a single tap?
Second, Maybe it's a good idea to change the layout to the default layout. ([abc] [def] etc)
But keep up the good work

What might be a good idea is to incorporate a function like to PCMKeyboard http://www.pocketcm.com/index.php
If you tap & hold say the shift key, then a popup with choices appears and you slide over to the choice, that way you keep you same setup and a user only taps once for a letter.

hmm... I can try to make clear TapTap layout. When you want to write on touch-screen with one hand and one finger (thumb) and don't want to concentrate on it (imagine when you are walking the street so you cannot&don't want to concentrate only on your PDA) you need REALLY BIG controls. But when you have big controls you haven't much space for other things like for the program you are writting in. So you want SMALLER keyboard what has BIG controls. And that is exactly what TapTap layout is all about TapTap is also adjusted for all people. You can train your thumb and write very fast but when you don't want or cannot write fast there is no problem TapTapSMS won't rush you. On standart GSM phones you must press button once (perfect state), twice or three times (sometimes even more times) to write desired char and it must be in time limit. In TapTapSMS there is no time limit so you can write how fast you want/can. Of course pressing real buttons is really different than pressing "nothing" on touch-screen. But on PDA you haven't real buttons I mean PDAs without hardware phone keyboard (e.g. Asus P525) or big hardware keyboard like on Vario (BTW "Vario" keyboard is not very comfortable because you must use TWO hands and two fingers).
So I hope you now undrestand
BTW can somebody test it on any slow device (e.g. 200MHz CPU) like Vario? I'm interested if it is usable (fast buttons redrawing) on slow devices. On my A701 it's fast but it has 520MHz CPU...

Thanks, I understand if this is the direction you want your app. to go.
I tried using the PCMKeyboard and it worked fine except it did not increment the character counter.

I get it
Looks Good, I see the idea you're goin' for...prolly wont b the most popular app in the world but looks very usefull for those who are looking for a one hand intuitive sms keyboard. I'll try it out tomorrow n let ya know what i think.

Hi, I'm using a HTC Prophet, overclocked to 221MHz using the stock ROM 2.2, WM5. Your program runs without hitch and without lagging on my device, probably because I'm not used to the interface and am very slow when using it.
I like the idea of big buttons for one thumb use but it seems very slow to use, but then again, I'm still not used to the interface and it could be just me. Another thing is the space button, I'm used to having a space button below the alphabets, like a computer keyboard. To me that is more intuitive.
Just my 2 cents worth.

BTW TapTapSMS is for now oriented mainly for right-hand users so on the right side you have the most used controls: SPACE and BACKSPACE.

Great Job
Works fine on my wizard. WM6 touchflo clocked to 247...send lags slightly, but not much more than usual. Overall its a great app. I agree with the spacebar idea...seems like it should b below alpha. keep up the good work

seems to be a nice idea. just need to be familiar with it. thanks man.
keep up the good work.

The link you posted (http://www.miousers.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=19705#19705) points to a forum which has a secondary link (http://mujweb.cz/www/birkof1/A701/TapTapSMS_nova-alpha.zip) that cannot be connected to. Can you post the file to the xda-develoopers forum instead of some czech server?

I don't know but for me the link is not broken Try searching google Sorry about it

BTW one of the main goals of this program is to reveal programmers that it is possible to make program which can be easily controlled only with your finger (and also with joystick - it's still one-hand controlling) and still is there enough space for other things.
EVERY PROGRAMMER who wants to make FREEWARE program and wants to use this controlling technology is welcome and he/she can FREELY use it and modify it to his/her own needs/ideas (of course it would be nice mention my name in program's credits). And of course there is no need to ask me for any permission... I have done it for the PDAs community FOR FREE
Of course if you wants to use it for commercial product you must contact me for my permission (BTW I have already gave some for now ).

small UPDATE... if you choose bad char group then tap on small "x" above main write buttons.

installed on Himalaya WM6 Aku7, most recent .NET,
MissingMethodException
Can't find Microsoft.WindowsMobiile.Forms
Version 1.0.0.0 Culture=neutral
PublicKeyToken=31xxxxxxxxxxx
or one of its dependencies.
Have seen this with rare other .NET programs, most do work.

hmm... try to delete DLL libraries provided with the program.

your taptapsms download comes as a stand alone .net exe with no dll's. It does start on my PC, .net can be so funny
update, sorry, did something stupid while unzipping, found the dll's still inside the zip.

TapTap Keyboard - write without stylus!

Hello all,
maybe many of you tryed my previous application for SMS writing TapTapSMS and maybe you like this new way of text inputing. So here is NEW native SIP (software keyboard) for your PocketPC (all resolutions - WM5, 6, 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5.3). I must mention that you must get used to this new technology because it differs a lot from the classic PC-like input method. It's because standard PocketPC (without hardware keyboard) differs a lot from the classic PC. So enough about it... try it!
P/S: It chanced that I found a THIEF who stole my technology without any word that I'M THE AUTHOR OF THIS UNIQUE TYPING METHOD: http://tikilabs.com/app/tikinotes/
UPDATE1: VGA version available
UPDATE2: New black skin!
UPDATE3: Fixed missing equal char ("=") and some other chars added.
UPDATE4: Fixed uninstall problem.
UPDATE5: Now supporting custom layouts and skins.
UPDATE6: I have added new US/German optimized layout to customize section.
UPDATE7: Added two new panels (navigation panel & basic operations panel).
UPDATE8: Added HVGA version.

bkf1,
i tried ur keyboard and find its the right screen size. only thing i don't like its the repetitive taping to choose a letter. it would be better if u make one tap and give options kinna like T9.

Hi, idea is quite interesting. Is possible to create it as SIP? So it's usable with others programs, not just writing SMS?

I'm sorry. It is SIP. At first I clicked at TapTapSMS link. Really good work

right, as a SIP and with word completion/suggestion/correction and skinning it would be very nice. I write a lot on my device but hardly any SMS

TO Hundera:

UPDATE: VGA versions (low/high resolution) available!

please a request
can someone put a cab file here? thanks in advace

I have already downloaded them If you want VGA version with high-res graphics you must download it from my site Use any downloader (e.g. Download Accelerator, DownThemAll (Firefox plugin), etc.).

New black skin... !!!

Big BMP images replaced with small PNG images... so now it's smaller especially the VGA version...

I'll try this out and report back. Thank you.

It's freezing Sorry to you all I must replace it with previous version

UPDATE: Fixed uninstall problem.

Suggestion
I like your app.
i suggest that after tapping a letter i prefer that we stay at the same group of letters and if we want to change another group we tap on the back button thanks.

While long-term testing I have found out that I need to use chars from other char panels more frequently than from currently selected char panel. Anyway thanks for your suggestion

thanks for your answer.

Great idea but I must admit I had thought of a similar method myself but lack the time or patience to implement myself, so I figure i'll see if you want to do anything with it
Same idea, click on a group of letters and it brings them up larger, but instead of grouping a,b,c,d,e etc into 1 group, why not group it as it appears on a standard keyboard? it'd be more intuitive for most people as the same keys are found in the same general area as a normal keyboard...
So have what looks like the normal WM keyboard on the screen, but have thicker lines seperating the different groups. So left of the keyboard can be the letters q,w,e,r,a,s,d,z,x then have t,y,f,g,h,c,v,b,n as the next group followed by u,i,o,j,k,l,m or something along those lines? Basically it has the user looking for certain keys in the same places as there already used to.
It's just a thought but a good one I think personally though others may not agree

It is definitely very precise.
While I like this aspect of it I do like the idea of a qwerty layout however.

Believe me I have tried the QERTY layout (btw there are only 7 keys, the 8th is for ENTER) but typing with it is very hard to learn (remember a,b,c,d,e,f,g it's much more easier than e.g. q,w,e,r,t,y,u). It's because this keyboard HAS NOTHING COMMON with the other keyboards. This is completelly new original type method.

Resco Keyboard PRO 5.0

Major upgrade released, version 5.0
Upgraded version comes with a new attractive skin that allows the use of the new features:
Thumb mode which makes it possible to write quickly even without a stylus and thus makes this keyboard ideal for one hand use.
Correction mode in combination with the Preview feature ensures users only write the letters they intend to.

Appreciate the heads-up. Looks very nice and appears much more visually dynamic than SPB FullScreenKeyboard.
WB

Just tried it and I'm not getting on well with it. Usually though it does take me a while to get used to a new keyboard, "touchpal" form teksoft is my preferred keyboard at the moment, It also has a new commercial version out. I'll try the resco a bit more, but my first impression is unimpressed.

Uniqueboy,
Set the keyboard size to the one where you can use your thumbs, then either use your thumbs or, as I do, use a stylus on that size keyboard. Works for me but I appreciate we all have different tastes/preferences.
ATM, for me, this stands above SPB FSK.
WB

really nice improvements! goin to try it immediately!
but it seems like xda is becoming more and more a post new apps forum is becoming hehe

I agree. I tried SPB Keyboard a while back and found it just plain hard to use (especially with SMS). This on the other hand is a breeze to SMS.

Looks nice but I can't get a simple answer as to how to enter a "_" (underscore) char using the iPhone-like skin on Resco's forum. Also, there's not much info on how to customize the keyboard itself although there are various ini's and config settings.
PocketCM seems to be a bit better as far as customization is concerned.

$20! Yikes. I mean, well if you don't want it then don't buy it. Currently PCM keyboard is free and probably better because you can skin/customize it to heck. But it's good to see more usable soft keyboards coming out. I still can't believe it took the iPhone to make WinMo developers to do this. We(WinMo users) could have used somthing like these years ago!

Agreed. I need a period and comma on the first keyboard screen, as well as the ability to get to a "_" and "\" without using the full keyboard. If there were some decent layout choices, this would be a winner, as the spacing and response is good from what I have seen thus far.

I'm not going to pay $20 for something that should have been on the damn phone when I bought it, as good as it may be. I use PocketCM keyboard now, which works fine. I like Touchpal too but I only use it at home where I sms in 1 language. I could pay for it but won't because it should have been there in the first place.
The same could be said for PocketCM contacts and some other tools. Why does someone have to make this in his free time? MS should have done it and if it wasn't for the iPhone craze we'd still be without these great pieces of software.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying for software. I just don't pay for software that fixes problems that shouldn't have to be fixed by end-users.
(Sorry for the rant)

I have resco keyboard pro .rar where do I put it to work?

I used PCM Keyboard until the newest Spb came out a few days ago. I used it for 5 minutes before paying $15 for it. The key spacing is intelligent, and the layout are the best I've seen anywhere. What really sold me was the convenient placing of the ctrl key and the intelligent way the keyboard changes when you press it.
I don't expect I'll ever find better, though I can still hope. Seems clear just from the screenshot though that the Resco still has a lot of catching up to do.

a rar is a packed file like zip, so unpack it and install the file or whatever is in the unpacked folder.
The other thing is that this is really basic knowledge for any user of a computer, so play a little with a PC will help you

MOD EDIT: SHHHHHH!

ponde said:
Thanks! That was my first post here and I really was amazed how fast you guys answered that. So I downloaded a program called winace and I unpacked it. I got the actual keyboard which I installed on my storage card and a resco keyboard keygen. Where do I put that. I am sorry that I am a noob.

This is not a particularly good place to talk about keygens. It implies pirated software and that's sort of against the rules here.

I am sorry. I didnt know what is keygen.

If you like the software you should buy it! XDA is no place for trading warez. Please stay on topic.

[6/10/08] Tippy v.1.1 [Open Source] UPDATED!

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).
keep it up

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?
