LedBanner for wm5 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

hy there,
http://youtube.com/watch?v=dO_OWpp8vT8&feature=related
is it possible to make it work on wm5?

possible - yes
Whats the point of this application?

That's actually a pretty cool idea.
Wonder if something could be made where you wave the phone in the air and a message is displayed like you had on that Nokia phone or those message clocks.

the point is that if you are in a place where is too much noise (disco) or no possibility to hear one another (train station, two different cars etc), you can transmit messages very easy. the display of a pda is wide enough to be observed at long distance. a flash lite program for this app would be excelent.

Great idea for WM application! "Programable" (text and color) led banner. For me very usefull (on lesson) and cool looks...

Seems to me like a big waste, that's why it's avail on the i****e, nothing much more it's good for, except a LED Banner. If anything, a today plugin with this would be cool.

I only know a piece of software that creates LED gif animation. Like this:
{
"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"
}
I would think it's not that difficult to program for WM. You just need to make font template or pixel matrix (the latter should save memory since each character is like 16x12LED = 16x12x2 bits) for a-z 0-9 A-Z .,'... then scale it up to screen size and let it scroll. Just that it may be hard for the more serious programmers to justify spending their time on this.

maybe a less serious programmer will do it, after all

How about creating the program to create LED gif images on the devices, to be used as backgrounds for S2U2.

Easiest way is to use flash

I can`t believe no one wants to make this up...half an hour for any decent programmer. wtf

How much do you pay?

yeah.. would be one awesome program

I won`t pay anything... sooner or later someone will do it just because he can.

LED Pov(persistance of Vision)
THIS would be much cooler.. someone should really do something of this..
its easy to make..
using a pixel font blink in a certain frequency waving your arm, due to persistance of view) we see the message writen in the air...

Well it's not that hard. Flash -> download a tutorialfile from the internet on how to make it. Adjust it to your wishes, save as flash 7 or flash lite 2.1.
But why won't you do it, when you want it?
If it's an easy way to program it, this would be an excellent first project for you to jump into.
Good luck!

it will be more nicer if its not flash program..well maybe likje .exe file

It only takes 1 click to open a flash file. It's fullscreen and you can make lnk files to it.
Flash is a programminglanguage, much like any other language. It has it's disadvantages, but when it comes to animation and graphics, like what is requested in this thread, it's superb! Easy antialiasing of all objects. Smooth animation.
It's possible to make an exe file run flash animations, but then you need some other programming languages to work it out, or you can use mortscript and make an .exe

Animated Today Screens

Hey all, dunno if this should really be wizard specific, but here goes...
I'm looking for a way to apply an animated background to my today screen, using a single GIF file. I'm not sure if it is possible myself, but the flash ones soak up so many processor cycles, on an already limited device... I have run a basic search, but i've not come up with anything other than how to use one as a sort of screensaver.
Would be nice to have some slowly animated backgrounds, like the ones I stole off my mum's new w950i (which is also very nice, although not a scratch on the wizard).
Hope someone can help, thx

Hi
iwould appreciate something like this aswell, but another thing that would be awsome is Animated caller ID or mayb if we can set short .mp4 or 3gp or .wmv file to playback a video instead of just a picture!! i no that on my symbian devices i can do it with a third party application, it has the ability to associate a .3gp as the file for a specific caller then a music video plays instead!!!!.

there are no free solutions as far as i am aware. Some software that does the trick here http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=3372 and there are others too - google to find
I think you've misread my request. I don't want to use flash, only GIF files...

Ha ha sorry i misread your post try active today http://www.pocketfacelift.com/activetoday.html
Let us know if it works well, i am interested 2.
i suspect that FaceLift is just embedding an HTML control on the today screen. Can be very resource heavy for the solution. There are better apps for that job...

Thanks vijay
I am testing activetoday (diff from facelift), any recommendations V?
EDIT Activetoday works v nicely, only 47kb install and takes 200kb ram. I would consider buying
EDIT2 Seems a little buggy - you have to soft reset after each change of animated gif, but still good Still works after standby etc....
I don't know if it's actively developed anymore, but there's an app called SideX which I think is great. Lets you float keyboards, plugins etc.

That came with a great today screen html plugin, but it probably does no more then the one you mentioned - however, in the SideX package you get a ton of other features with it....

Ball Breaker
Hi,
I started to make a new ball in 3dmax and imported it in PScs3 and make it all the needed colors. Unfortunately when they scaled down (so they match the sprites) the loose quite a bit of there appeal i would also like to change or recreate the background to a glossyblack so they would pop really out.
anyways here are the file's i created so far the sprite one may need some more alignment to match the orginal, i made a quick match to see how they would look.
I put this project on hold for now due the dissapointing results, i think recreating the game (in 3D?!) would be the way to go, so if your a kickass coder with nothing to do , let me know, m'kay.

Customize HTC Home

I tried to modify HTC Home, because it is IMHO to big. I only need the Home Tab so i wondered if it might be possible that the tab selection is not being displayed to save some Space (in the pic is shown what i want to be displayed).
The greatest thing at all would be if only the Files needed for the Home Tab would be installed. But that is not necessary at all, because i would be able to figure that out by myselfe and create that cab file.

Maybe someone knows an other application, that is able to display that i desire. Or a SMS, Email, and Call Notification as plugin for Pocket Plus as Icons that can be plased free into the Tabs.
I'm looking forward for your help
Greets so far.
rltoday has a skin that will do what you want. Free program that works very well.
rltoday still have bugs, It can not work properly in my hima I have given feedback to the creator
It would be much nicer if the area you want to disappear could appear and disappear by selecting the tabs. That means when you click onces on the Home tab the clock display appears when you click it again it will disappear. And that way for all Tabs of HTC Home, that would be a great development for the HTC HOME.
Why not use HTC Home Custom 1.0 beta5? (HHC 1.0 beta5?)

Why? Cause what he wants to do is not possible with Home Customizer.
AFAIK it is not possible at all yet.
I would really like it if it was possible. Ideally with the custom if there's only 1 tab used the tab bar should disappear... It would be perfect
If rlToday doesn't bug for you, you really should give it a try.
I've been using it in place of HTC Home for weeks now, and never looked back.
It looks better, smaller, more customizable... simply awesome
Should check out the skins made by a person known as FOXCAT:
http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=762#p762
Thnx for your help so far.
RLtody seems to be a nice tool with great capabilities. Unfortunatly the HTC Theme doesnt work for me. It gives me odd graphics, but i havnt had the time yet to change the skin.xml for my needs.
But I'm shure i'll get what i want from this app. Indeed i'll get more i've ever hoped when starting the thread (A today plugin, exacly like i want it and fully customizable).
@PAPPL
It isn't possible to do what i want with any customize tool for HTC Home, because all that they are capable of is changing the reg keys in HKLM\Software\HTC\HTC Home and replace the Images. For both i dont need any tool at all. But there isnt any reg key (at least i found none) that is responsible for the task i want. Nor did i find the place of the prog, where the graphics are defined. I think the only way to find that out is to get a hand onto the sourcecode. But i dont know anything at all of reverse compilation.
Maybe someone knows an other application, that is able to display that i desire. Or a SMS, Email, and Call Notification as plugin for Pocket Plus as Icons that can be plased free into the Tabs.

Not too sure what you are looking for here, but you might give HTCPlus! a try. I find it a bit smaller and does what I am looking for.

Would you use this?

help me dev it... i'll do all the graphics, if anyone wants it and knows how to implement it
Looks good, are trying to make this for rlToday?
i have no idea. i literally opened up photoshop and did my thing. i need all your know-how from here on out, if you guys would use it.
Not bad IMO - original concept/layout.
I'll tell you the easiest, and best way to customize this, would be the new WAD2. It's $10, you won't regret it, trust me.
Great design. I would use it, but the only issue I would have is the weather. I am in love with Rumball's weather icons so I like to use that in weatherpanel as my weather program.
Well, we could use whatever weather icons we want, I'd assume, right?
Let me know who can help.

Try to use WAD2 it is quite easy to use..just load all your images and done
i can add functionality to all the buttons and make the clock function as well?
not for nothing thats pretty sick! awesome job!
i personally dont use wad2 nor rltoday, due to personal prefrence..but if ur gonna do it, im pretty sure users will be all over it!
what's wad2 anyways, i see wisbar advanced desktop on their site but it is not 2.0... is there another program?

What are the cresents on either side of the clock?
I can do the majority of this using rltoday. Only things I wouldn't be able to do are:
-alarm notification. I know there's a way to do it using mortscript but I don't know the code.
-the battery indicator can be done using sys-2-reg. not hard but another program to install.
-the volume button would just link you to the volume control or maybe toggle between mute/loud?
-the signal and connection indicators I couldn't do.
-there's a weather mort script on the rltoday site that I could use.
-the hour and minute hands on the clock would just be straight lines. I could use PNG files but for some reason doing that sucks up a lot of memory.
What else? Just need graphics.
EDIT: I think I just figured out what the cresents are!!! If they're indicators for the battery, volume, etc. then this is way out of my league.
yes they are meters... it's sort of like a hud. well... is there any way around using wad or rl to program this... are there any crazy programmers on this board even capable of something, or this just too extreme. i can give you the graphics, just tell me the formats you need everything in.
Looks promising.
I like today screen with many information displayed.
It would be fine if that could be used with SPB shell.
Really nice design skanndelus.
Cheers

If that's for me then the files would need to be in PNG format.
The "HUD" is a great idea but no way would I be able to do that. I'm sure someone else can....
Actaully, if you can find, or make a font file that has those shapes I think it can be done in rltoday. Would need sys-e-reg though.
Now you have me thinking. Great!!!! I'm going to be up all night!!!!
Yes WAD 2 can do anything..you can set the path to the app and clock, weather, everything gestures also..WAD 2 is still in beta..so try it
ooo where do i DL
WAD 2 download on their site... or do i need to sign up, or pay?

ONLY FOR MANILA 2.0
Sooo.. The idea was to create a sleek, minimalistic design to reflect the quality and aesthetics expected from a phone like the HTC Diamond. I tried my best with those goals in mind and this is what I came up with. The original HTC design, in my opinion, was and still is absolutely stunning, so I decided to keep and incorporate most of it into the design, but then introduce a little more space and freedom.
GlassFLO is meant to be used with AllBG_RhodiumManila (ONLY for Manila v2) by showaco for versatility to allow a wide range of user-created styles - Just grab any nice image from the wallpaper setting and go! The previews really don't do the theme any justice, but whatever lol- I really wasn't planning on releasing this.
GlassFLO2.0.cab: Original lined tab theme
GlassFLO2.0_noline.cab: Clean glassflo design, minus the lines
For somewhat experienced users only.

yeah, very nice,good job~
i haven't tried this yet but it looks really nice. i'll be watching this thread to see if you do any updates. how did you get the slider to be invisible? again, very nice theme. thanks for posting it
nice imma give it a try.
Can you please turn this into .theme file so we can easily install it through Diamond TF3D Config application?
Thanks
Beautiful Only suggestion, can you also include the call history tab icon? All the icons on my device are transparent except the call history which looks a bit funny

not backrogund 4 all tab?
where do you get all those cute wallpapers? they are very nice!!!
I have tried looking for the background on all tabs app but couldn't find it.
Can anyone link me to it?
i like the first background (the black one) can you share it? thx
I think I got the right Call History file, but I don't even have that tab, so I can't really check to make sure. And oops, I meant to say BackGround4AllPages. Anyway, I've linked to the topic it's on. I'm actually hoping they finish the Sprint clock part of it because that one seems to fit a lot better for this theme than the flip clock.
Very n1 theme!
can do a theme file?
Not sure I know how to do that.. But I thought someone said on their theme that it basically uses the same format as .zip files, so all you need to do is rename it from .zip to .theme?
I'm probably completely wrong, but I'll look into it lol
Any update on a theme file for this?
How can i install????
dunno how to install it
total newbie .. plz help thx
Very cool thanks very much.
Also a newb. I'm not to familiar with manila's. I kinda understand what they do but if it's not a cab. file I'm kinda lost... Any help on how to get this on my Fuze, and maybe how to get back if I don't like. greatly appreciate it.
thank you very much,and i will wait for .theme file
