Vito Winterface - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

July 7, 2008 - VITO Technology releases Winterface - a major breakthrough in the world of Windows Mobile interface. Winterface is the Next Generation Shell for Windows Mobile comprising the options of a launcher, a task manager, and a multitude of Today plug-ins. Winterface gives the user unprecedented freedom to easily lay out interface exactly the way they like it.

As a shell Winterface removes the necessity to turn to default Windows Mobile interface: Today screen and Start menu. Winterface opens instantly whenever users draw a simple gesture on the screen. It allows users to have as many screens as they need and put on them icons for applications, settings and contacts. The screens are flipped through with sliding finger gestures. The icons for such applications as phone, sms, email, battery, clock, calendar, memory, etc. - all show relevant information and thus replace a number of Today plug-ins.

Pros:
- it is vast and very sensitive
Cons:
- just another iphone ripoff
- it is just several pages of buttons, nothing more. No reason to use it.
- it looks ugly when compared with other products like PointUI or SPB MS 2
Conclusion:
It is waste of time.

Yes software is too simple and not today plugin ( No clock, no singnal, no battery...no.....) . Ones is here have onlied in screenlock but also obscurely exept clock it be visibility .

Maby they released it quickly before iSwish is released.

Nothing special here move along..hehe

Thanks, I like it.

Well... It has some problems.
- The program launches by adding a finger-gesture to the os. The gesture is a curved swipe from left to right.
This worked well with my right thumb. Too well perhaps, becouse it works everywhere.
Like in googlemaps and opera mini. It pops up the winterface every-friggin-time you pan to left.
- You can't turn off the "slide-to-unlock" feature. Which is insane. Why do i need it in a device that has a power button that already locks-up the buttons.
- There is no "settings" menu. No customization, no nothing.
- It seems that it drained my battery over night. Had a nice tone of "battery depleted" to wake up to, this morning.
- I added a bunch of contacts to the menu. Then i realized that i would physically have to drag every single one to a screen that is 3 slides away.
In my opinion. This is not a finished product.

i agree that the software is unfinished product, it shouldn't be 1.0 version, i suggest this should be 0.1 version
1. no setting, and battery, time, etc which should be on the top of screen, now they are taking place of the first page (or if you want to go to second page find out what's battery situation?)
2. the screen lock stopping music play, when i press the power button, it should just screen off, but the winterface make the phone off, even during my phone call, when i press power button, i cannot hear other side,(i guess they won't hear me either)
3. the screen lock freeze the screen, the slide button may stay in the middle of the bar, and i have no choice but reset my phone.---how stupid! how dare they put 1.0 on the version?
after 1 day surf, i just have no choice but uninstall it.

lock screen
if the lock screen gets stuck in the middle just go to your normal task manager and end the program. the swipe your finger to restart it and it should be fine again.

Wow. I'm almost to the end of the trial period and I've had almost none of the problems listed here on my Tilt. Except, of course, for the left-right swipe which is VERY irritating when using Opera. But, I've never had it affect music or calls. As far as the power indicator, there is a bug when you first load it in, but I went to Settings on the menu and added the Power option. Now, there's a power indicator. Granted, it's only on the first screen.
My only other gripe is that not all of the applications on my phone are on the application list and, therefore, I can't make an icon for it. That kind of sucks since it makes a program like MoNotes useless.
Other than that, I thought it was really solid and prefer it to Pointui or Mobile Shell. BUT, I use other Vito software, so it's more geared to my phone anyway.

It was fun to play with for about 3 minutes! then I uninstalled it as there is no comparison to Spb MS....

same here...loaded and used shortly. has potential, but lacks customization. also, does not support 5 way navigation - touch only. didn't like that. unistalled as well.

Thank gawd it's no comparison to PointUI --- I can't stand that thing. I like a simple interface that lets me start programs, close programs and tells me what time it is. I don't need spinning menus and cubes and suns and moons, etc...
Curious though, what is 5 way navigation -- I only have touch on my phone so maybe that's what I don't know? lol

it could have been a very nice thing - 3 years ago
but i think it's really not interesting now

I tried it and now I love it.
Whatever I need is there (time/date with links to alarm clock/calendar, programs shortcuts, task management, quick dial for contacts). Moreover It's really responsive and lighter on memory than both PointUI and SPB Shell.
I must say, however, that it has also some small annoyances:
the "too much common" startup gesture for example.
Winterface is not perfect but IMHO a very good option as a shell replacement.

any one have problem with battery drain?

vito icons
here are the ones in currently using.i also found out if you have pictures set, the boarder around the pictures will mess with the pictures. so if you have pictures set on winterface just keep that in mind. i dont have pictures set for contacts so it doesn't bother me.
Download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?cyfztycc0de\
put these two files in Program files/vito/winterface/skin/bin
and if you have it on your storage card just go to your storage card first.
Then you just close and restart winterface. Both the first pics i posted and the s2u button are included in the download.
YOU WILL FIND PICTURES OF WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT HERE(original post)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406233&page=6

thanks for this! love this app. fits perfectly with my others like sms-chat, s2v, s2p.

I think this program certainly has alot of potential, and like the interface and how easy it is to customize it exactly the way you want it.

thia is a great app. I have been testing this today and it very fast and easy to customize.

adding progs to the orientation & wireless manager launc

Hi,
Great forum, I've had a shufty around a can't find out how to add icons to the section at the bottom of the screen where there is a line and you have the two icons for the wireless manager and orientation.
It'd be good if you could add your own icons to this don't you think? Like TDLaunch but it's already there!
I'm gonna add a moody picture with an daft arrow just in case I've been rambling away!.
http://www.billylondon.co.uk/exec.JPG
Be interesting to see how its done.
Billy
Have a look here
HKLM\Services
particularly Power\ShowIcon
etc.
I believe your program needs to register as a service to be allowed into the lower status bar.
bubster mate, are you very new to the pocket pcs?
The row of icons are called the Tray, displayed on the Today screen.
You can use various programs to add your own applications to the Tray.
I recommend PHM Tools, check it out normally here:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/PowerToys/
however, the link doesn't seem to work. You're looking for a prog called TrayLaunch.
However, if you're interested, I wrote my own, called VJTrayLaunch.

Check it out on my website:
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJTrayLaunch
You will need to be able to make shortcuts; do this using an explorer program like GSFinder+, my personal recommendation.
EDIT: Guys read through the thread. VJTrayLaunch is only for launching one or two apps. Don't use it for 15 etc, read lbendlin's posts.
I will be updating this at some point. It's safe for a couple of icons, but more than that and you'll be limiting resources for other programs.
V
wow, learning a new word every day... "annunciators"
I guess it's back to reading the Boling book...
Vijay, why is your program resident once for each icon? Couldn't you make it re-entrant?
lbendlin: which version of Boling are you reading?
My program is resident for each app because I wanted it that way, absolutely basic and lowest resources possible without any configuration.
Each icon can be unloaded from its menu subject to user's choice.
I don't actually use the tray at all, preferring to entirely remove it from my today screen:
However, VJBigPhone needed a tray icon, so I had to learn the code, and this was merely a spinoff from that exercise. Someone had asked if there was a fair alternative to PHM's app, which is what I would use if I used the tray. I didn't know of one at the time, but since I could write the code, I did, just in case it came in handy...
What are VJTrayLaunch's overheads like? I've never used it in practise, so have no real experience of it, and haven't measured it...
V
reading the Third Edition.
I have replaced my cLaunch today plugin with a number of TrayLaunch shortcuts. Much better use of real estate. I'll watch the performance impact.
Does WM5 still have the 32 process limit?
lbendlin: I'm really not sure, I've not looked into it the task limit.
re Boling, yep me too. I'm learning everything I know from there and a huge Windows reference book, and C++ for dummies I'm only on Chapter 5, so obviously you'll see the theme of my apps change as I progress!
Re cLaunch, if you're using many shortcuts, or even a few large ones like me
a tabbed icon launcher is useful for thumb friendly size. My cLaunch setup is configured to give 4 banks of icons (1: quick calls, 2: apps A, 3: apps B, 4: phone profiles and volume control), tabbed with the arrows on the left.
So all is easy to navigate with the thumb (I've actually moved over to my unreleased plugin VJEphemeris that replaces several other plugins, but it works on the same principle).
The tray is very small, and good for some apps, depending on use really; I'm always looking for a better thumb friendly Today screen. Hence tabs and claunch, tray is too small for my use. Post a screenshot so we can get an idea!
On WM5 I've already written code to remove the tray from WM5 and shrink the soft buttons:
which I will provide as an option in VJToggleTodayWM5.
However, I will also be working on an expansion of my program HideStart to allow me to relocate the tray to somewhere more useful for me on WM5 (this is WM2003 screenshot):
I think the tray is very useful, but it's a crime it's not always visible. But there's just no space on QVGA. So I made it optionally visible anywhere, toggled with the start bar.
I've just had a cool thought: tabbed tray icons! I've not seen those before, and they could be quite feasible. Might look into it. What do you think?

I like the idea. I was planning on investing on a launcher, but after reading your post, I'd rather wait for you to develop this. Plus I'd rather pay for this rather than a launcher. EXCELLENT idea!
I'm such a glutton for punishment coming up with these ideas!
cktlcmd: I still highly recommend cLaunch. I had some good exchanges with its author and the code is mesmerisingly cool from a geeks point of view! Way over my head, that guy's a genius.
I just had a thought about how tabbed tray icons might be doable. I'll try to look into it, but I'm afraid it won't be too soon, unless I really find myself possessed by a eureka moment and can't stop myself (they happen surprisingly often!)

I am sad to report that I have switched back to cLaunch. The 32 process limit still seems to stand, and my 6 TaskLaunch instances created all kinds of funny situations where other programs would be closed for no apparent reason. So, Vijay, time for a re-entrant version? ;-)
lbendlin: I'm really sorry, I didn't understand why you were asking about the 32 task limit, but of course now I understand!
I believe WM5 is also limited to the 32 tasks as before, and this is "addressed" by using services! That's not a solution. for others, read this
You've made a good observation. I clearly recommend PHM tray launcher myself (I never use the tray, I use smallmenu personally) but this was made just for launching one or two distinct tasks. I'll amend the first post to reflect this info.
I'm giving thought to how to do tabbed and multi icons. I didn't address this previously because it wasn't what I wanted, but I can see the value of it with some of my other hacks. It probably won't happen too soon, I'm developing another couple of larger projects before I can come back to this, but I will work on it. Hopefully someone else can do it first!

Favourite Trinity Program

My phone company, 3, have just released these finally in Oz and am heading out to get one tomorrow.
Now is the best time to ask everyone what are their favourite programs they have installed on the Trinity? Saves me searching around forever....
I need one that closes all programs totally (so they dont continue to run in the background), switches what hard buttons do (unless you can do that automatically), plus whatever else people think i need......
I thought this would be a good thread for all newbies and others who want to know what are the best ways to pimp up their Trinity.
thanks
Scott
You can stop all running programs from Start button->Settings->System->Memory.
Also the new ROM i got has an option somewhere with the ability to change the behaviour on the closebutton.. It says HTC menu util or something similar.
Get magicbutton (for the task closing), its free and works fine....

It's under START->Settings->System->Task Manager.
It has 2 options;
1) End programs by tapping X
2) End programs by taping and holding X
MagicButton sucks pretty hard, the last version has some issues with the telephone application (it doesnt close it).
The most kick ass application you'll ever get for your trin is this one:
Spb Mobile Shell: This a pretty good application that enhance your today screen with tabbed menus and give you alot of nice features like enhanced menus, task manager and alot of other cool features.

thanks for that. what are the programs down the bottom where you can have all the shortcuts on the today page? The one with the tabs for Big,Apps, Car,etc plus the little icons below that....... same program?
That is my only shortfall of this beautiful phone- the lack of shortcuts i can program.
Matterhorn, it looks like you would benefit in battery time and also speed, by using the option to properly close your apps rather than minimise them when pressing the X button. I am judging this by all the apps that appear to be open in the bottom of your today screen.

The apps at the bottom of the screen are all just shortcuts, they aren't running. The program iLauncher allows you to make shortcuts at the bottom of the today screen. These are the apps that I use very often and don't want look for them. The other groups of shortcuts "Big", "Apps" etc. are also part of iLauncher and I make the icons big so I can use my fingers to launch the apps. I have iLauncher programmed to close some apps with the X while other programs are not allowed to be closed with the X, such as Messaging, Mortplayer, IE etc. I use the "close all" option when I really want a clean system. Believe me, I don't let apps run unless I need them running .
how do you make it so the ilauncher bar is all the way down the bottom of the screen? mine sits about halfway up....
Montalbert,
Go to start>settings>today>items select program shown and select move up or down!

BIQ

It is a bit tricky because when you have items in your calendar plug-in it moves the whole today screen up and down. That is why I use TodayAgenda instead, it is an app that allows you to set the length of your Task and Calendar list. This way you only scroll within TodayAgenda and not the whole screen. This makes it possible to make the iLauncher stay at the bottom. You just have to set iLauncher to manual height and experiment until you get the proper height for your today screen.
I hope that helps

It has profile selection..
Well..
Too bad it's not free...
where is the original web address mate?
Thanks for info..
Yes this is a good application but, why it isn't a plugin today launcher.
That will be good when we turn on the pocketpc we arrive direclty on the screen with hour and lock.

put it in startup folder
pro:
- nice interface good scrolling e clear view
- nice the real clock with second even if it could be not so readable in day light (in the "action" menù it should be visible a digital clock or a more readable analogic clock)
con/desiderata:
- too many icon to scroll (all the apps and the settings) may be better if you can minimize the program and the setting list in vertical folders.
- nice interface it would be great if with a 2.0 release, dial, contact and messaging are integrated.
- with trinity and lasagna WM6 3.05 some problem with activesync, dunno if the same with other device/OS.
- does'nt display battery charging and sincronizing
- lack of usefull shortcut (music player, weather, or favorites call number)
- some problem with lanscaper/portrait switching
- no theme selection capabilities
- it could be great if you can choose from vertical or orizzontal kind of scrolling apps and setting (imo the orizzontal scrolling (like a book way) its quite bit more natural)
- check the sms/email/mms behaviour of the interface when system is Locked; When receive an sms or a mail the screen, should be locked even with the notify displayed if you want to interact you should unlock screen.
This is Quality Application! Makes my Touch look more like a mobile... kewl...
I agree with Dodba : this software needs a GUI messaging and calls.
Me finks the guys over at pocketcm.com will be interested in this!
Hebrew skin for VITO GoodWin.

Not Bad
This is a nice app I like the look of it. This is a trial version though a license cost 19.95.
Has anyone tried to Skin this?
I've located the skin files on the install directory, but had no success.
They are .bmp but I can't seem to open them or edit.
Nice app.
Is it skinnable? Any htc touch screen?
I think this is a great start and hopefully it continues to see updates because right now it works well, but a little more customization and organization would be nice. Having just every single program and setting link roped into one giant long page that takes 3 minutes to scroll down just isn't for me right now. I imagine if a version 2 is released that addresses the ability to organize it better i'd be all over that for 19.99
well.. skin masters!.... a htc touch skin for this??
The Time/Lock Screen must also show the next appointment. Then it would be perfect.

with you there!
Also a weather app would be nice!. not sure wether there is one or not but a slide to lock as well as unlock would be great! another thing that would be nice is a bounce back back to the top of the screen after a predefined time five seconds perhaps?
ouch! slows down horribly when running htc audio manager in the background! thats on my vario 2 with four programs in total running (including phone which it wont turn off!?) and with 8 meg of program memory spare and 11meg of storage mem on the phone.
Yes wecan skin it !
Just have to edit shell.bmp in photoshop (the other bmp file is for the about page) and save it in the same format. fushia color is for the transparency.
Only one default when changing backround to white to grey (for example) there is no icon transparency It's so ugly...
May attempt to have official skin or a pro
Its the same editing for Vito FunContact.
Some stuff are missing:
- What to do
- Calendar
- Weather
but it's a good start, keep working
Battery
I just LOVE this application...
BUT: it's a real battery-eater !
Cheers

I like it, but the lock feature isnt very usefull. When device is put to sleep with the powerbutton... screen is off

[[[Improve You HTC with Different Ideas]]] POst your IDea of an Application u want!!!

I have lodes of Ideas for Application that can Improve our HTC Diamond Like Hell!
To Start With...
1. SAY CALLERS NAME.
this Feature is available in Nokia E Series Handsets ...
It will say the Name of the Caller During an Incoming Call..
Can this be made available for HTC Diamond..
mmany more to COme!!!
what say!!!!
Well...I would love to see a software where we can have Blinking white LED signal light on the round scroll panel. Unlike HTC TOUCH where they have blinking green led to show that phone is recieving signals, there is no such thing in Diamond. LED flashes only on unread sms, missed calls , incoming calls and on charging the phone. But there is no blinking light for signals. If somebody would make it , that would be great as i love that white light around the ring scroll.
Regards,
Vishal
light sensor aplication
here´s one,
use the light sensor to wake up and to put to sleep the diamond like this:
when it senses a for about 3 or 4 seconds (time configurated) and the sensor is 0 for light it turns off or lock the diamond, the same like when the sensor is 30 or above it wakes up the diamond.
And i think that you may choose the two or only one option, like (on+off) or (on or off)
Thanks
why not something realy hightech, something cool and unusual would be awesome =)
I've asked for it several times, but a tab on TF3D where it shows your usage would be awesome. But, I think that's easier said then done, since no one's done it yet.
i'd like to see a good news reader/ticker as a TF3D tab. ideally it would scroll each headline either across or top to bottom like scrolling through a text message with a tap to open the news item fully.
also would love a tv tab on tf3d that you can configure to use with some of the great tv apps out at the moment. iplayer/myplayer/webtv/spbonline etc. the 'player' would be on the page of the tab similar to the music tab. ie large 'screen' box in the centre of the page/tab with up/down buttons to switch channels
my penny's worth!
i want an application that will map hardware keys (from my diamond 2) to each application i want for example i want the call button in coreplayer to raise the volume or go forward, and in resco explorer i want it to go back (for example)
so an application to sign buttons to each application specifically
A timesheet application
I have yet to see a simple application that can track the amount of time you worked, calculates the total time per day, per week and so on
Like this Palm application that I loved so much
http://www.jsankey.com/software/timesheet/timesheet.htm
I tried using styletap palm emulator but it's far too unstable.. every now and then it would crash for no apparent reason

change voice
it would be nice to have an apps that could change the default voice on the voice command. Kind of like the gps garmins have different voice options.
A finger friendly gym app to enter sets, reps and exercises. would love that.
Would like to see a simple app to control incoming calls:
You are able to set from start time to end time, all calls go to voicemail without ringing, but your alarm clock still works if it fall within the time parameter above and if you like to listen to music and do not like to be disturbed by phone calls.
Now that’s something I could use...

I have yet to see a simple application that can track the amount of time you worked, calculates the total time per day, per week and so on
Like this Palm application that I loved so much

I tried using styletap palm emulator but it's far too unstable.. every now and then it would crash for no apparent reason

+1 for this
I am looking for a call, data, sms tracker that lets you know how many minutes you have used, your data usage, sms usage, etc. There is LCMinutes which is free, but it can't seem to calculate the balances right, and it is not very easy to use. Someting like phone dashboard has a great GUI but it is only a today plugin, I guess I could use the today plugin page and put phone dasboard on that?
I'd like an application that would make my HTC Diamond (XDA Ignito) beep when I have a message/text waiting.
I would love to have an app who gets me a new GF every week, & with whom my operator doesn't charge me anything. LOL. I believe some nice registry tweak would do.

[Design] Note-Tailored Multitasking Launcher

I'm a little crazy about user interface design. And while I am no professional, new ideas for how software could or should work can keep me up late into the night, sketching on my Note. The night official ICS was released a really simple idea hit me as I was falling asleep: the multitasking tray should take advantage of the Note's massive screen size.
For those of you with ICS, take a look at the multitasking pane. It takes up all of the screen and displays relatively little. In addition, compared to other multitasking solutions, it lacks in features. It only displays the recent/running apps. It could really use a re-design.
So I took some time, researched the alternatives and imagined what would be best, and sketched up a design on our favorite drawing device.

With this design, the multitasking app windows are arranged horizontally near the middle of the screen. You swipe left/right to move along the list of recent apps, and swipe up/down to close an app. At the bottom is the music tray, with - left to right - the music app button, previous/pause&play/forward, track/artist/album information, and an image of the cover art. Above the multitasking area, there is tray for recent messages and mail. Any recent messages or mail, regardless of read status, will be shown there. You can swipe up/down on the items to scroll through a small selection of them, and tap on one to open your mail app of choice to that message/email. Above the messages/mail tray, there is a quick settings tray for brightness and volume. The volume is assigned to media if there is media playing, or if none is playing then it is assigned to call/notification volume. At the very top, there are buttons for tasks and settings. All of this is located inside a solid textured window that sits on top of the current app, with the current app dimmed/greyed-out a little.
I was very careful with the placing of all of these. I am still undecided as to the placing of the top most three items, but I feel confident in my design thus far. I placed the music tray at the bottom - closest to the thumb, which has just pressed the hardware button for multitasking - for quick, easy, comfortable and intuitive access. The multitasking area takes a large section just above the bottom of the screen and near the middle, to give it the main visual focus of the window. The multitasking app-windows are arranged horizontally near bottom for quicker and easier access, as the thumb/fingers are near the bottom of the screen so the reduced distance and the horizontal swiping motion are the most ergonomic for the form factor. For most people the top three trays are typically accessed less than music and multitasking, so that's why they are near the top (farther from the thumb/fingers). Messages/mail also looks very good near the top of the screen, aesthetically speaking, as the eye tends to look near the top of the screen for important/interesting things. I am tempted to swap the tasks/settings buttons for the messages/mail tray, but that would make messages/mail less easy to access for the fingers and they are a main focus of the device (it being a phone and all).
There are numerous coding implications of this multitasking launcher but they are largely self-obvious (ex. having an option in settings to allow the user to set which music app to use for the music tray).
Comments? Questions? Thoughts?
P.S. Please note I am not familiar with the Android customization scene and do not know if there is already something like what I have designed.

Seems like you took that idea and modified it a bit for Android.

Took the first paragraph, it's a well written introduction. Didn't take anything else. Got my ideas from stock ICS multitasking launcher, stock ICS recommended design language, WebOS cards multitasking launcher, default iOS mulitasking launcher and the iPhone notification pull-down tray.

Yeah, I definitely like the old way of multitasking better. Having so few items on the screen makes it take almost as much tune as just hitting the home button and finding the sop in my homescreen. The long press seems to take longer on ICS too. I'd definitely prefer the iOS method of double clicking to multitask and long pressing for voice actions. The million dollar question, is any of this stuff even possible?
