(New Release 3/31/08) Todayview - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

[03/31/08 Release Version Beta 1.2] - Now able to add launch program items., which gives you the ability to add any program to an item and display the programs icon. See the second thumbnail.
I have made this plug-in because the HTC Home just took up to much room on QVGA device.
Right now it’s pretty much just text based but the font size is adjustable, borders can be added and items can be moved around in the plug-in window which gives you ability to position them where you want. Also when an item is touched the corresponding program will popup.
Installation instructions
To install this plug-in: Execute the cab file and then go to setting/today/items to force the today screen to pickup this item. Also there is a sample layout which can be accessed from the main menu, load sample. To select the main menu: Tap on the top left side of the plug-in, which is the same position as the icon. This is the same for all modes.
The sample layout has some empty launch program items, they have "no exec" text in them. If you select them it will bring up a select program dialog, where you can select lunch program.
Note: I have not updated instructions document for this version, this will come soon.
Pervious users please delete the layout.dat found in the /program files/todayview/, this can cause file locking problems if you try to load old version layouts.
System requirements: PPC Windows 5.0 or higher

Some appreciation.
Plus I would love to take this, I need something simple.

Hi
I would like to try it.. thx

Looks like a much-needed mash-up of LVTime and HTCPlus. I've used both of those and was totally satisfied with neither, so I'd love to take it for a spin.

I've been looking for a clock plugin like this - I have an iPaq, so no HTC Home. I also don't have a phone, but if you could create a view displaying email and tasks and date, I'd definately be glad to have it on my todayscreen

If you need any help with graphics, let me know.
Here's a sample of my:

Would be very interested in testing - can you let me jave a download link? Could be just what I'm looking for

give me pls ^_^

I'd be intereseted in testing aswell, if u still looking

looks promisng
if this can make a good replacement for the HTC home please let me try it out

I found a bug during layout editing so I am going to hold off releasing it till I corrected it. hopefully I can get it out tonight.

This looks like a very promising Today plugin.

I'm in. Send it when your ready.

Hi,
count me in as soon as you have a correct version!
Bye,
Paulo

I'm interested, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

This looks like the plugin where I have been waiting for!!
So count me in, if you need me to test it!

The program looks good and it feels good. Maybe I'll make a mistake but (MDA TOUCH, WM6) The phone button responds with a error (File not found \windows\vtkey.exe). Same error when trying to use the battery button, \windows\power.exe.
Is there a solution ?
Now all we need is an iphone like photo viewer, what you can navigate with your fingertips..
Any idea?

Yes its different for most devices/Os's so go into the \windows folder and find out which files do what and simply change the config1.txt file

NICE APP
Grumps,
VERY NICE APP. I am using it and it is great. Works well with S2U2 version too. My input for cometics only:
a. Can we put the operator name closer to the signal bar? This will allow room for other indicators such as Wifi and BT.
b. Can we have BT and Wifi indicator on the top bar? These two will make the SW going from COOL to WHOA!!!!!
Thanks and cant wait for your next release.

If i make it smaller it might say HSDPA Vodaco or something and ill hear more people crying? Any suggestions
And yes only QVGA, I dont have a VGA device to develop with sorry
This is a great app except...
There's no animation when you launch something. Or highlight. So sometimes you press again while waiting for something to start up.
Can we please get some sort of feedback when it's accepted the fact you pressed a button? Not sure how this works on the fruit based phone but I'm sure there should be some feedback.
Thanks.
ok just want to say great app.
here are some suggestion for you on the next version.
add scrolling to the app so if you want to add more icons on one page you can.
let it pick up default icons from the programs so you don't have to waste anytime on picking an icon for it. (but you can if you want too.)
scroll with finger to go right or left to go to the next page.
i have some other ideas and i would like to share it with you. if you are interested please P.m.
thanks,
the changelog says it has animations now. I just can't see any. What is meant by "animation added"?
Great work anyways.
BTW: Being able to scroll only one of the horizontal lines from left to right would be great, for, let's say, less important apps. So you have 3 rows of static buttons and just one row that can be scrolled by finger gestures... Saw that on iPhone, looked amazing...
I Concur
IMO, it would be great to have a scrolling launch page. Either horizontal or vertical. Also, annimation and vibrate with icon color change to reflect program choice.
Does the calendar icon keep up with the actual date??
Thanks,
CG
Thanks for such a GREAT app - assigned a button to it and it works like a charm. I do have one question \ request: is it possible to move the title bar elements up a bit? I use an app to hide the Windows Start bar and the softkeys (it is one of Vijay's tools) and your app then acts as my home page for most running applications (there are a few exceptions but overall it works great). The only issue is that the elements on your app (clock, battery, signal indicator, etc.) are a little low (2 pixels or so) so things look a little "off". I was hoping it was or could be a user changable setting.
Please don't take this as a complaint! Your app, combined with S2U2 provide an excellent UI experience. Thanks again for such excellent work.

Good idea to assign it to a button, I was trying to figure out how to integrate it better as a complete solution. Only problem is that on the Touch there is only really one button I can use and I was using it for the Full Screen Keyboard and to hold it down to get voice dial. I'm sure I'll work something out though.
I saw the link in the first post talking about how to get the .lnk files right and I assume that means for the Phone/Calc/etc which do not have .exes that I can easily find. I'll do some research to get that working.
Thanks for a great app!
Thanks for the info

Grumps,
Thanks for the info. I can see the name is an issue. If it is moved left align one space right after the signal strength then it will be good even with the longer operator name. If it is done that way, then if the BT and WiFi indicators are needed, that is when they are turned on, then they can be arranged to the left of the clock. These will cover the last portion of the long operator name but I think it will be acceptable because many things operate in the same manner due to the fact that there is not enough space for everything.
Thanks again for this VERY NICE APP. IT ROCKS!

[THE] TF3D Tab Icon Theme

Afraid i have had to discontinue all work on this due to big time time restraints. If the download links don't work then please feel free to message me and i will email them to you however I won't be logging in here much so you may get a faster response by sending me an email - [email protected]
All the best!!
*****Updated 28/09 21:00 VERSION 5. Includes Trasparent scroll highlighter*****
First things first - I would like to give a big thankyou to MRE-net for the original idea for my theme, also for his help with setting up a CAB file. Without his input i would not have been able to have achieved this. Also for this task i have used the Manila ed tool to great effect so thanks to the developers of that as well.
The original idea for this came from this thread by MRE-net
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420423
Warning: The usual caveat applies to this, use it at your own risk. However the CAB file works perfectly on my 1.37 ROM and has also been used successfully on a 1.93 ROM so you should have no problems at all.
Here is a link to download from,
http://rapidshare.com/files/151841827/TFL3DTABICONSV5.cab.html Version.5 NEW CAB
http://rapidshare.com/files/151842796/TFL3DTABICONSV5.theme.html Version.5 NEW THEME
http://rapidshare.com/files/148760101/TFL3DTABICONSV4.cab.html Version.4 CAB
http://rapidshare.com/files/148762347/TF3DTABICONSV4.theme.html Version.4 THEME
http://www.uploading.com/files/RDM8W5TX/TFL3DTABICONSV3.cab.html Version.3 CAB
http://www.uploading.com/files/54B3SUKA/TFL3DTABICONSV3.theme.html Version.3 THEME
if for any reason any file is no longer available on the links above, just drop me a PM and i will email the CAB to you.
Version History
Version 5 - 29/Sep/08 - As version 4 but with a transparent scroll highlighter (looks good). If you have the large icons showing on each screen then V5 is not for you as the large mid screen icons will dissapear. if you do then use V4 and download Pama's transparent slider(which itself may not work if you use the CAll history /callendar tabs) See post #42 for full details
Version 4 - 28/Sep/08 - Lots of new Icons here See post #36 for full details
Version 3 - 19/Sep/08 - At the request of user 'skizZO' Now includes Icon for Calendar tab, with relevant Manila files edited - *Important* You must already have the Calendar Tab enabled for this to work. If like me you do not have a Calendar tab available then you can get a CAB file to install one by searching this site. Also at the request of the user 'timoline' i have Inverted some of the icons so that they all face the same way(Don't know why i didn't think of that! Thanks!)
Version 2 - 18/Sep/08 - Now includes enhanced 'Messages' Icon and new 'Email' Icon
Version 1 - 16/Sep/08
Here is my icon set, All the files are PNG with transparent backgrounds.
***Updated to now include lots of new icons for the first level menus, see my post on page 4 for full details
The Call history - Messages - Email - Internet - Photos, and Weather icons i made myself using various downloaded icon files and a bit of 'cut and paste' wizardry. The Home - Contacts - Calandar and Music icons are files i downloaded without any editing. For the Settings and Programs tabs i used icons supplied by MRE-net(thanks again)
In my opinion they look great on the Diamond.
I don't use the Email tab which is why you won't see it in the screenshots, but there is an Email icon included in the CAB. I'm not %100 convinced with the Music icon, but i couldn't find another one that i feel fits better, i'll change this if i find a better one.
I particularly like my Weather Icon, took me ages to find and then Paintshop it to my requirements. It's amazing how hard it is to find good 3D weather icons!!
I have these saved in CAB file, which installs perfectly, so once again if anyone would like to try my icons you can download the CAB from here -
http://rapidshare.com/files/151841827/TFL3DTABICONSV5.cab.html Version.5 NEW CAB
http://rapidshare.com/files/151842796/TFL3DTABICONSV5.theme.html Version.5 NEW THEME
If the file is no longer available on the above link then please drop me a PM and i will Email the CAB to you.
To install simply- Disable TF3D
Install CAB (Automatic soft reset will occur)
Enable TF3D
And you're done!!
*** If you are updating versions don't forget to uninstall any previous versions of the CAB first!!! as the new CAB won't overwrite the old one***
Once again i give a BIG THANKYOU to MRE-net for his icons and also the original CAB file, without which i would not have been able to put this together.
All the best
Steve
Tnks, but the dwload not work
No prob with download Time before downloadin counted twice
Will try n post results...thx man
used it and looks great ! thx you mate
@ Stevedpl7 Tab Theme for TF3D
you said I'm not %100 convinced with the Music icon?
can you make a htc diamond or anything to do with htc music icon , just a suggestion
@ lucag
Keep trying, it appears that the free download countdown timer is counting down twice!!!
If you still have no joy, PM me and i'll Email it to you
@ Dynomite232
I'm in the process of trying to create an icon showing a Diamond with headphones in a musical type context, struggling a bit getting it to look good though so i'll post once i've succeeded!!!
Regards
Steve
Great job, like I said in my thread. Looks really nice, especially the sms icon. Keep up the good work mate !!!
I see that the screenshot tool is also working well for you ?
I do like the music icon btw....just like the camera icon. Wish I'd found that one earlier
Thanks, I've certainly got the bug for this now!! I'm working on some other stuff like new icons for the Call history list and various other bits bobs so hopefully i can come up with some good stuff.
Thanks for showing me the screenshot program, i'm anmazed how easy it is to use!!!
all the best
Are there also the missed calls and calendar icons?
@SkizZO,
Hi, unfortunately i didn't include a calander icon as i don't have the calander tab(don't think i have the original Manila file), as far as the missed call icon goes are you talking about a seperate 'Missed call' Tab? or do you mean call history? there is a call history icon but no missed call, this is because i don't have a seperate missed call tab. That said i could quite easily amend the call history icon to a 'Red' Missed call icon for you if yo want.
Sorry i was speaking about call history
Is it also possible for you to make a TFL3DTABICONSV2.theme file ?
Thank you
@ SkizZO
Yeah it's the top row third from the left. I will look in to a calander icon when i get chance.
@ timoline
Afraid i don't have the technical knowhow at the moment, i will look into whether i can do it when i get chance.
regards
Steve
Making *.theme files is really simple.

User interface yrgo 2.3 beta 2

Hi all,
I've something to play with for you . New yrgo 2.3 beta 2.
This version is dedicated for 320x240 devices only! The 640x480 version will be released later.
Installation notes
Since this version implements new graphical layout system, you have to uninstall the version before and delete "\Program Files\yrgo\Skins" folder. This is valid even if you are running 2.3 beta 1.
What's new
File explorer supports Create folder, Delete file/folder, Copy, Cut, Paste (using context menu).
In-build SMS Writer - works in Contact detail's page or when you press Reply in SMS details.
Complete new graphical layout system - Color Themes, Images (icons, buttons) and Wallpapers are now separated. There's no way how to change icons at this moment.
Wallpapers can be changed using File explorer and its Context menu (need to be applied on jpg images).
Repaired bugs you have noticed me on.
Please, let know what do you think about this version and report me bugs you've found.
Download link: http://www.2daysoft.com/yrgo/beta/2.3beta2/yrgo.cab Please DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE it anywhere (you can of course distribute link to this page). Thank you.
Features of yrgo 2.3 beta 1:
This list controls were completely redeveloped so they support variable height items.
Complete new graphical design (with PNG alpha support - give me feedback whether is it too slow or not).
On the fly help almost everywhere.
Today plugin gadget bug fix - yrgo should exit properly now
Desktop gestures - left, right switches the desktops
Analog clock in Clock gadget
New Calendar gadget (it shows wrong month yet)
New Connection manager Gadget
Gadgets can be re-sized - (doesn't work on all gadgets yet)
Gadgets border shown in design mode
File details when you click the (+) sign
Specific Control panels allow direct access to the specific tab (click on (+) sign)
In Contacts you can directly access all contact's phones using (+) sign
Completely new Contact details page (some functionality is missing - will be added later)
Completely new Task details page
Plenty of new settings
Dialog boxes that prevents mis-taps (can be set-up in Settings)
New Calendar page in Office menu (without Appointments support - yet )
New Help menu and all its items
Contact's hide/show keyboard bug fix
I'm sure I forget lot of new features or bug fixes .
Known bugs:
The main menu takes a looooong time to appear at the first time (I know what causes this - just didn't have time to fix).
Help wizard should not be added to the Favorites or Desktop.
Some of them I've already written above ;-).
Because new icons in yrgo are bigger, you current desktop setting may not fit.
Enjoy .
Regards,
Luky
Look sweet, will try now!!
awsome
gonna try it now i will come back with feedback after some playing time with it.
wow
wow is all i can say. Ive only used it for a couple of minutes and this is just amazing. Could use the flow feature like in icontact but this is great so far. Well done. Im excited about this app and cant wait for future updates
Thanks for the positive feedback guys .
I am patiently awaiting a VGA version to test with my Diamond. I remember using yrgo a while back when I was investigating all the WM shell options. It seemed pretty cool then, but the lack of true VGA support was disappointing.
Very nice, but will better interface with the default is WM7

User interface yrgo 2.3 beta 5

Hi guys,
I have released new yrgo 2.3 beta 5 so you can check it out on my forum here.
If you are new in yrgo - yrgo is highly customizable User Interface Shell written for Windows Mobile 5/6 Professional devices. It allows much more that any other Shell and goes more deep into the system - the memory footprint is also held low.
I highly recommend to see the presentation video (the video was recorded with older version - doesn't have as nice graphic as it is there now and it has much less functionality, but it is good to understand yrgo's concept).
So let me know what do you think .
UPDATED: There's a bug in the version I linked to my forum - it has only Czech version. Please scroll down the thread there, download English.zip a follow the instructions in the post to get the English version working. Sorry for that.
Regards,
Luky
Oh yes,
the gadgets for almost all resolutions are not arranged properly - it is still the beta version and I will work on this this week.
But you can of course easily re-arrange it however you want very easily (just check the video I have mentioned above).
Thanks.
Luky
it is really nice and fast. on start up there was too much gadgets on screen, I would say try to make the desktop really clean aligned properly on startup. but it's a good work you're doing.
I'm not sure if this is a bug: using the file manager to explore my windows directory seems to hang the app, or maybe my windows directory is just really big. after it hanged and I terminated it manually, the app still populated my top and bottom bar, and half my screen, I had to soft reset.
plus how to change background?
Hi,
thanks for your feedback. I'll check out the problem with Windows folder.
To change the background image, just find such image in the yrgo's file explorer and use Context menu and scroll down to get ability to use such image as a desktop background.
Regards,
Luky
I really like your app. your design mode is very innovative, resizeable icons, etc.
*why the "hide" button? after going deep in the settings and want to go back to the home screen I had to click back button all the way back to home. it is possible to make the hide button "home" button so one click will bring me back to home? I know I can click on an empty spot and it will bring me to home, but I don't think everyone will know that.
*when not in full screen mode some of the icons/info is cut off at the bottom because the icons\layout doesn't resize accordingly.
*is it possible to add the "running applications" button as a gadget?
*also could there be some transition effect from desktop to desktop?
know I'm asking for a lot but I wouldn't be saying anything if I didn't like the app.
Hi,
thanks for your feedback. It's ok, your questions are really relevant and helpful for me.
Yes, you're right. It makes more sense to have button "Home" instead of "Hide". I'll change it.
I know about the problem when switching off the full screen mode. The previous version had auto-rearraning the gadgets but it made a big mess when you switched from landscape/portrait mode so I temporarily removed it.
Yes, running appliactions can be add to the desktop easily - as any other item in yrgo - just 'tap and hold' on the Running application icon a use "Add to desktop"
Yep, some transition effect would be nice - but at this moment it is not my priority. I need to release current 2.3 as soon as possible. After that I'll start to think about new feature.
Again, thanks a lot for your feedback- it was very helpful.
Regards,

Infinity v0.2.8 review

Just tried Infinity v 0.2.8, I should say it feels better than old version and it feels much lighter than SPB Mobile Shell.
I love Infinity’s looking!
Infinity will be definitely my next UI I will use for my mobile devices if developers can add the following modifications:
1. please do not totally replace original WM top taskbar.
1% battery indicator, Phoneweaver profile’s indicator etc etc are all displayed in WM top taskbar, after launch Infintiy,they are gone,this means Infinity completely replaces original WM top taskbar.
If you cannot change this,at least design a nice 1% battery indicator. We cant live without this.
2. to continue point No 1, Infinity also replaces other program’s toolbars, for example, Resco Photo Viewer v6.33,the toolbar is gone! This toolbar (contains zoom button etc) is very important for me, allowing me to zoom pictures accurately and quickly, that’s why I will not use Resco Photo Viewer v7.0 or higher,because they don’t have this convenient toolbar. Resco Photo Viewer v6.33 is best for viewing pictures; Now Infinity takes away its toolbar, I doubt I can use Infinity like this.[IMPORTANT]
3. Infinity also replaces original “X” tap, in WM you can go to settings/system/task manager/button/enable the "X" button to end running/end programs by tapping "X". Yes, I want program to quit immediately after I hit “X”, but Infinity disables this,the program is still running in the background after you hit “X”,there is no option for you to choose as to end program or minimize program. [IMPORTANT]
4. pls design a nice task manager widget with the option to assign it to the right soft key. [IMPORTANT]
5. pls add an option to make the desktop only one page. With now 3 pages, you can slide to left or right,it’s fun,but if you accidentally slide the page to left or right,you have to slide to find out the right page where you put all the shortcuts, this is not productive, for most of people,one page of desktop is optimal.
6. cannot we just use any picture to be desktop background? This is a easy script for programmer to write,isn’t it? So pls add this option. [IMPORTANT]
7. at last, I think it’s nice if Infinity can backup all the settings. Adding a program’s shortcut to the desktop is not straightforward, for example, I want to place Phoneweaver in desktop, the procedure goes like this: tap the desktop for 3 seconds>click right corner + button>Shortcut>click this new shortcut icon in the desktop>Show widget options>Path>(find the Phoneweaver icon>ok> tap the desktop for 3 seconds to finish.
You can imagine how much pain and time you will go though if you reinstall Infinity,if you can backup all settings and restore in future, you can save lots of trouble.
These are not bugs,just improvements that one of users want our diligent Infinity programmers to consider. Thank you for this excellent software!
Please note Infinity is still under development, Infinity v0.2.8 is not yet a finished product.
A quote from the developer himself:
I've just uploaded v0.2.8
We have to be honest: we don't know when and if we can finish Infinity. You're right - there are only some small parts missing to make it more usable but we don't see a big future for it as WinMo 6.x dies and it definitely won't work on WP7 or any other platform.
That's why I just added some small functions (add/edit contacts) and fixed some bugs. I also removed the time limit as we really don't know if a new version will be released in a few weeks or in months.
I hope you understand that.

Not very hard to locate -> http://forum.ageye.de/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=1369
All you had to do was change forums to www in that url that was linked and knock off the bit after the first / that follows the ageye.de and you could have found it. Think people, think.

I know right? It's like when someone creates a thread for a product and asks for opinions... yet they don't provide links or details....
annoying right?
but yes, it looks like it will be outdated very soon.
spb mobileshell/mobilesense looks to remain very promising.
plus we know they have support and will continue to update.
its not free, but its worth it if u can find it.
i use it and it is everything i need.
To the OP, your comments would be better suited on the developer's site. Ageye has stated that further development of Infinity is unlikely since the current WindowsPhone OS will soon be obsolete. Too bad. I really liked this shell.
