Bluetooth Proximity Lock - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I feel I should have posted this as a contribution quite some time ago.. But I failed.. So here it is now!!
Quite some time ago I developed a bluetooth proximity lock application for Windows. It uses python and has the ability to control multiple computers.

This works with ANY bluetooth device as long as it is discoverable.
Enjoy!

Awesomeness.. Happy to contribute.

Hey all,
I wonder what happened to this. The DL link is broken ...
... is this project still active?
There's a new shareware called LockItNow!, claiming "Up until today there are no programs that detect when you have left the computer and then automatically locks it wireless."
So, XDA was quicker again?
Would be good to have a valid link to try.

The page linked to in the original post has now expired, would anyone be able to explain how to do this using C# please?
Thanks!

Uploading GPS Info

Hi There
Ive tried searching high and low for this type of feature and I cannot find anything. Let me explain..
What I want to do is on my Pocket PC with a GPS unit, is basically have a program running that grabs the Long/Lat data from the GPS at a specified time interval (say every 60 mins) and uploads that to a website or FTP via GPRS.
What I plan to do on the website side of things is to have the website read from that data and load Google Maps to show where the person is!
Anyone already know a program to do this kind of thing?
Thanks in advance
Gary
Hi
I have made a program that will get the gps pos of a device and send it back to a pc via SMS it can send it to a server over gprs.
pjcltd is there any chance of a copy of the program.
Darthgus, hers a laptop solution, I am sure there is a pocket pc solution somewhere.

GPS
Try www.pocketpccreations.com
I have used it to get the location of an operator when tacking data. I have not tried to run a timer it get the data when a user clicks the button. You have to add the gps custom point.
Let me know if you need any further info.

Heh, thats exactly the sort of thing but with Pocket PC. I wanted to get the POS to a website, then use the API of Google maps to show the position.

Yea, Im not really wanting to run a program like that to do it, basically I just want something sitting in the background dropping the GPS point every x mins or x hrs type thing to a website/ftp.
We use this for our workers on the road. They send back positions every 10 seconds via their XDA & we track them on maps in the office.
However, it's part of a larger 2-way data app.

Cool will be good to have a look at, but not much use without some code or whatever as I dont want to send sms's but upload the data to a http/ftp site.
I look forward to testing this program. How do we get the unlimited version if we find it useful?

Wanted: App that autoruns another app every 5 secs

Hello all,
I was wondering if someone could write a tiny app for me if its not too much trouble. I want the app to autorun another app if the device has been idle for 5 seconds. If theres already such a script or app can you please point me in that direction as I could'nt find anything.
Thank you in advance,
Akshay
You can do this by yourself very easily using SKSchema.
Once you get SKSchema, be prepared. You can create your own scripts to do anything from answering a phone to turning off your phone if the wife calls!
Is that like MortScript? Just going thorugh MortScript at the moment. Thanks for the info though.
Regards,
Akshay

A little help if possible, since I'm new to mort scripts, can somebody what command must I use to figure out if the screen has been tapped or not?

That's not possible. At least not with any documented Windows API... (OK, mouse hooks are documented, but they don't work...)
Thank you for your reply Mort. Is there no way we can find out if the phone is idle or not?

Audio recognition 100% WORKING NOW WITH TOUCH SCREEN ENABLED

Hi guys i know that iphone has a application on their phone called Audio recognition.
The way this works is that if you hear a song you like, you select a particular software in the iphone and what it does is that it records the first 5 seconds of the song and it sends that sample to some database and then reports back to you with the name of the song and who sings it, now i know i have been in a situation where i have heard a song and liked it but cant remember or know the name of it.
Is their away to implement this into a HTC diamond, like has someone tried making this happen?

SEE POST 8 FOR NEW VERSION OF MUSIC ID
hahaha, funny I just came across that when my friend was demonstrating his iPhone... would love to know if there's a similar WM app...
i have installed what u mentioned and it worked thanks mate.
Hopefully someone will make one to work properly on the windows mobile operating system, anyone know where i can get this from as the one mentioned above works but isnt 100% visible on the screen
Also using MusicID, and when I demoed it a year ago to my friends they were astonished. I also find it better than iPhone app. MusicID needs VGA support, which it lacks as of now, so it fits better our Diamond phones.
surely it cant be that hard to create, like if people on here can create custom ROM's then surely someone can have a crack at this? we got any takers?
come on guys, their has to be someone out there that can do this, can anyone help plleeeeeaaase
Finaly i got it!! Fully working on the Diamond!
thank you so so much, i have been waitin for this for so long now. just tested it and works great, u see all the buttons and it is touch screen enabled too
work fine thanks man
but it's a trial version????
sorry but who makes this software? do they have a web site?
is this "fixed" version something hacked to work by you or the company released a new version?
sorry I am confused

You won't be seeing it in the program list. You have to start it using Explorer.
Wow!! This app works great!!
thank you so much.
this is awsome, works like a charm, thanks for that, but i have another idea if anyone can make it possible i would like to have another feature in this application. it would be great if the app can make a tag from the radio and record a sample without checking the ID, later time you can check ID when you are conected to wifi or activesync, this could save some money on data connection. but it is only my sugestion, thanks anyway.

Wow, this is very cool!!
I got this to work on my Touch Pro. To run it click on the simpleos.exe once you unzip it. It took a few times to get it running with a few crashes, but now it boots everytime np. Once it boots, click only in the password box and it should boot right up. It crashes if you click anywhere else. Actually this software is very very cool. Very stable once you get it to boot. Not very finger friendly though. Almost seems like development has stopped, which is too bad.
Also notice there are multiple desktops with widgets ect. You can access from the shortcuts in the upper right corner. Unfortunately on the 3rd desktop it crashed.
Open Source Code?
It WAS open source? I can't seem to download the source no more. Anyone willing to Hard Google and find the source? It's just too cool to not be in development. :\
Is this just an overlay for Windows Mobile? or does it actually reboot into a Linux shell?
Looking at the screen shots, it seems it is just an overlay.
It's skin
It's just an overlay everyone. I tried this last year on my touch and it works great! I'll see if I can if the sources somewhere and post at my site later.
I emailed the developer and got this reply....
"The program is no longer in active development. Feel free to download full source code in C#.NET. I am glad it sparked your interest, I hope you can contribute and make SimpleOS better. This is the reason it became Open Source!
Go head spread the word at xdadevelopers.com"
I will try and get them to provide a working link to the source code.
Source Code link has been fixed. The file is too large to attach. If you can't download let me know and I will split it into 2 smaller files. Enjoy!!

Direct link is here

I think it looks great to be completely honest. Maybe if someone were to develop on it, it might be a more feasable option than using the standard windows 6.0/.1 interface until 6.5 becomes a bit more stable.
Are there any developers out there that would be interested in continuing this project? I think its has great potential.
yes it is way better than copying iphone interface and also trying various interfaces to get better user friendly apps .
it also boots there is a option for it to boot

Handmark TV Guide cab

I actually had some version of this, but when I first use it and register all of my information, it kicks me out and tells me my connection is in airplane mode or too weak (wifi and 4 bars of 3G at the time).
I think I might have a bad cab.
I know they don't make/support this anymore, but the program still works. I downloaded the one I have from FreewarePPC (http://freewareppc.com/hobbies/tvguidemobile.shtml) so I know that's not a good one.
Not much help, but I've been running the program for a long time (8525/Tilt/Tilt2) - and a few days ago it stopped working and giving me the same message. I finally just removed the program and use their website - http://wireless.tvguide.com. I liked the way it worked on previous phones, and it never worked well on Tilt2 anyhow.

Oh then maybe it's not the cab itself but the feed for it. That is helpful. I guess I'll just have to add this to my internet bookmarks.
I am looking for a good program to replace the TV Guide, currently using their website but it only allows you to set 5 shows for reminders. I would like something that keeps up to date and only reminds me about new episodes, no reruns LOL
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
So is it confirmed that this app no longer works at all?
I had it on my Ozone, but the CAB I had for it will not work on my TP2.
Looking for a CAB for it, since it has been pulled from Handmark's website.
But I guess the point is moot if it really no longer works.
Yeah, I haven't gotten this baby to work at all. Sad really. But it fits into TV Guide's gradual demise into CRAP.
