Hi all,
I have lurked on this forum many times and have found it very useful especially in terms of my recent ROM update issues with my new Diamond .. which turned out to be the HK version - gah! .. but that is another story.
I just wanted to let people know that I have written a tool to show storage space use on your Windows Mobile in a TreeMap. There probably are other tools like this kicking around, but I couldn't find one that was any good.
Main Memory fills up pretty fast on the Diamond if your not careful to install absolutely everything to the storage card, and also set your default save location to the storage card.
The screen shot below is of the app and the Main Memory of my Diamond after I found and killed off the offending files.
Anyhow, if your interested you can mosey on over to the download page: here
Cheers,
James.

Update 1.2 Standard:
- Added a version for Windows Mobile Standard (or Smartphone in the old terms - non-touch screen)
Update 1.2:
- Improved performance, added more status notifications to indicate what its doing during delays
Update 1.1:
- Orientation switching added
welcome to our forum. interesting tool!
Thanks for the welcome
I am curious to find out if anyone will find it useful. I have put it on several phones of guys I work with and they have found all sorts of garbage clogging up their phones.
Will give it a few days - maybe some people will try it out.
J.
thank you for the app/tool!
working fine and showing all...
in yr pic i can see you are using the app in portrait but it takes all the screen.
warning: this app is better viewed in landscape. this mean i have to stop tf3d and rotate the screen or use the gtool....in portrait the app is 1/3 of the screen. anything i should know? vga/qga related?
i can not see any garbage but this might be as a result of intensive use of SkTools and it's cleaning tools.
opera is a monster in device and iGO8 is the champion on my internal memory.
i'll take a better look in the evening.
Thanks for trying it out!
Yeah - I'm not handling the switch to landscape mode, however if you start the app while already in landscape mode it should be fine.
I'm using the HTC stock ROM in my Diamond so I'm not really sure how to disable TF3D and change into Landscape. However its fairly easy to change the code to handle the event and have it recalc for the new dimensions. Will put it in 1.1! Shouldn't take long
Cheers,
J.
thank you
will try this out on the rom im using when i get home later
Oh yeah - and something that is probably not obvious to everyone is that you can click on the folders to zoom-in and take a closer look at the folder contents.
Maybe I should underline the folder names or colour them blue or something ... Hmmm.. will have a think about that.

lol i already tried with no success! maybe because is too small (1/3 of the screen).
btw, disabling tf3d is easy. go to settings/personal/today/items and disable the tf3d like any other plug in . after that you''l have the "old" today screen.
go to settings/system/screen and rotate yr screen.
i did the above, rotate the screen and open yr app but again i got only 1/3 of the screen!

Thanks for telling me about the Setting->Today->Items. That did indeed turn off TF3D, but then on the Settings->System->Screen couldn't find the screen rotate thing. There are three tabs (Alignment, Clear Type, Text Size) - It is 1am here, perhaps it will be there in the morning.

i have 3 tabs also: general, clear type, text size.
on general you have on the top of the tab "orientation" with 2 options "portrait" and "landscape" and underneath you have "align screen".
ye, sure try again after a good sleep..lol
interesting that you have "alignment" and i have "general" containing "orientation" and "align screen". this is wm thing...why different?
Very nice app, thanks
Version 1.1 Support for orientation changing

Hmmm checked it again this morning but its still not there - HTC must have taken it out of their latest stock ROM (I'm on 1.93.831.1)
Oh well - I tested it in the emulator and new version (1.1) handles the orientation change fine now
Can you tell me if it works for you on your Diamond? 1.1 CAB is here
Cheers,
James.
Tried doing the rotation automatically using GSen with v1.1, rotates the screen and app fine but can take up to 15 to 20 seconds to rotate.

Could you try 2 scenarios for me?
- Start up the app and then rotate to landscape before doing a scan
- Start up the app, do a scan and let it render, then rotate.
If there is a major time difference in the time taken to rotate between these two scenarios, then the problem is something to do with MobileMonger. Otherwise it must be something else. Hmm.

Did that and the screen and app rotate instantly.
- Start up the app, do a scan and let it render, then rotate.
Doing the above and it's a little quicker, but still takes and average of 10 secs to rotate once the results are displayed.
looks like a great tool , is this QVGA compatable ?
@ Jamzb ... does 3 have the Diamond on a plan or did u get urs from elsewhere ?

Yes - should be - I have DPI detection to change the font sizes up for devices less than 192 DPI ... i.e. 320x240. Obviously since there are less pixels the folder depth displayed can be less ... but on the up-side rendering is faster

I got mine pre-release from Hong Kong and since had a difficult time getting the official updated 1.93 stock ROM for it. (It came with 1.34!!!)
3 do not offer the Diamond as one of their supported phones, but I can tell you its works really well (Just have to get the URL for their Planet 3 service - which I have if you need it)
I'm on the $8(100MB) data plan and have push HTML email from Exchange 2007 enabled with full attachments - and it works very well. Small email takes 5 seconds from the time it hits exchange to then hit my phone.

Great little application ... thumbs up.

Hi,
is there a way to include an overview about the RAM usage into this program?

Guys, this is an update to my old program VJSmallIcons. To say it's long overdue is an understatement
This version retains and persists settings between folders. It can also make the Programs launcher fullscreen. When you go fullscreen, there is a menu option to permit navigation back up to the previous folder.
On a whim, for no good reason at all, I've also implemented my interpretation of the Vista View Mode slider, as seen here in Vista.
The slider can be used to toggle modes. Even if you don't need the app, try the slider! I quite like it :wink: Hopefully you'll see this again in VJSihaya.

nice unlike the first one, this one works on my device %)
the slider's a bit silly, I suppose, but kinda cute
( are you supposed to be able to drag it? only seems to respond to taps )
However... I just got stuck in a subdir :x VJSmallIconsII disappeared, and tapping 'OK' (which normally goes a dir up) did nothing. Not sure what I did to get in that state. Edit: Found it, check follow-up posts
and a suggestion... the 'go up one level' bit, perhaps it should carry the name of the level above, instead of the current level?
bug report.. if you run it twice, you will seemingly just be using VJSmallIconsII as normal. But changing any of the modes does nothing. If you exit it, it becomes apparent that you were already running it a copy of it - as that instance with its view (which changes correctly) is still there.
btw - nice UI (not sarcasm.. it really is nice!)
whewps.. now it locked up my device >_< I'll try and repro
yay repro
I have PHM PPC Powertoys installed, so I have a dir structure...
"\Program Files\PHM Tools\PHM PPC Powertoys\"
from a fresh boot:
1. Start > Programs (required first-run)
2. Start > VJSmallIconsII (in program history, still)
3. Start > Programs > PHM Tools > PHM PPC Powertoys
4. Tap VJSmallIconsII floater
result: floater disappears
expected result: pop up menu should appear
at this pont everything still seems fine - you can navigate around, etc.
5. Tap OK button
result: nothing happens, you're stuck at this level
expected result: should go up a level
-----
With MagicButton running - Steps 1-4
5. Tap (MagicButton) OK button
result: device locks up
expected result: should go up a level
-----
I don't know if it's the length of the folder name, or the fact that there's two spaces, or... etc. Can't keep poking at it right now
ZeBoxx: Many thanks.
I'll look into the hang. That's not when you're running it twice is it?
It's hanging because it's subclassing the Programs screen, and if for some reason VJSmallIconsII crashes, it'll take the Programs screen down with it.
It does contain code to detect multiple instances, but it occurs to me that because of the way the window is created it's probably not being detected. I didn't contemplate it being run twice I'll fix that!
Yes, slider responds to taps not sliding :wink: Not sure if I'll fix that! At least for now, it's just GUI...
The folder name - good idea, although it's basically for showing what the current folder name is, if you've got it in fullscreen mode and can't see for yourself. I don't mind incorporating either way, whichever you guys think is most logical.
Bug is confirmed with PHM (I have a similar folder structure). I'll look into it when I get home.

Probably doesn't matter - the hang is just when using MagicButton, so I suspect it's because it's using a different method to 'close' the window?

Well, that's why I mentioned two spaces.. e.g. "PHM Tools" - if I'm in there, and I tap VJSmallIconsII - no problem. But once I'm in "PHM PPC Powertoys" - boink.
I'll give it a more thorough testing and report back

Pooh, I think I remember now. I think I used a 16 char buffer for the folder name. Should be easy to fix. V gets his beautiful ass bitten by a buffer overflow... now to the XBOX 360

drat.. I had a reply window still open with:
It's the length of the folder name...
"123456789012345" is fine
"1234567890123456" is not

What os is this supposed to work with? I put it on my 2002 devices and no go. I don't like to try unfinished stuff on the newer phones that I actually use (as phone).
This is a bit off topic....
vijay555, your programs alway seem so slick. You obviously put a great deal of work into them. My question is, why spend so much time on programs that help the user interact with the device when the there is a lack of programs that provide real usefull functionality. I am not critisizing any of you projects, more just pointing at what I see as a lack of things to actually do with a ppc once you have it working.
Hey unable to download this app from your site!
OdeeanRDeathshead: not sure about 2002. It's been tested on Emulator, WM2003SE and WM5. I don't have any 2002 devices to test it on.
Either way, I'd suggest waiting about 45 mins so I can get the buffer overflow bug fixed.
Re the offtopic: I've got a lot of new stuff to write, but for me, I do a lot of playing around mainly as an offshoot of reading. For this app: I wanted to make an app to hide reminders. Thus I wanted an app to remodel the reminders. Thus I wanted to change the button style of the dismiss all button. As a result I thought I'd try the same on the Programs window. It was semi-useful (I never use Programs), so I released VJSmallIcons. I know one guy who used it - it's a small market
Next I'm working on VJToggleToday II. For that, I needed to make a subclassing routine. It was easier to debug that in VJSmallIcons II. So I wrote the subclasser as reusable code.
At the same time, I got interested in owner drawn menus for a TV Listings app I wrote on the PC in VB, which I want to move over to the PPC eventually:
So I experimented with owner drawn menus, and then for no good reason the slider.
So circling back, the subclasser will be re-used in VJToggleToday II, which is a useful app, and the slider will reappear in some form in VJSihaya.
I don't really have time to write "big" apps like a word processor etc. I write what interests or distracts me, or is otherwise being used for research. It's a hobby My stuff is mostly for my own use, or research, but some of it occassionaly might be useful to the wider world, which is why I release it publically. But there are a myriad of bugs and issues in the Phone OS which I like to address for my own use, eg why does it take so many clicks to start a new calendar entry? Why can't we add numbers to existing contacts? If it bothers me enough, I look into my own solutions, more as an academic exercise.
Phew, time for lunch

Guys, I've put the new version, v2.01 back on my site. Fixes the crash on long folder names and prevents loading multiple instances.

I've posted a minor update to version v2.02 to fix a small bug where the vertical offset wasn't being taken into account correctly in fullscreen mode.

Hello everyone!!
After a lot of work I have something stable to give you . There are still some little things to polish but I think this is worth for you to try .
It includes also a mini theme that's made by chriscsh. Thanks pal!!
You can find the details at my web at
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/
It's in the second news entry .
Hope you like it!! Of course I look forward and appreciate all your feedbacks (nice ones and constructive critics ;-) ).
Thanks!!

Hi!!!
Here you have a little preview of what's going to come in the new release
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/index.php/the-news/1-latest-news/82-094-beta-video-preview
-----------------------------
Hi!!!
0.9.3 Released!!!
Details here:
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/
To ask for support visit: http://www.throttlelauncher.com/forum
I'll try also to give support at this same thread but I cannot guaranty it as this thread is getting too big and unorganized.
Lot's of changes but this are the more relevant:
- Landscape mode support.
- Truetype support.
- Page changing almost automatic (after first load ofcourse...).
- Experimental support for flash plugins (need to be configured through TXT files) Thanks TWolf!!
- Experimental support for 3rd party plugins (new contacts page layout using plane or Direct3D mode, and clanedar page. See below a link to a how to develop you're own Throttle extension)
- Many others!!
To configure Twolf Flashes included on 0.9.3 for each flash (clock, contacts and weather) theres a txt file located at ThrottleLauncher\Setups\Touchflo3D\Twolf\. In that file look at each file items descriptions for more details.
Flash sources provided by TWolf here: http://www.throttlelauncher.com/foru...72&postcount=2
Hope you like it!!

Is really eassy to fit any .NETCF development inside throttle .

Hello,
if you would like to uninstall the applications, then deactivate first the today plugin,then do a SOFTRESET, then do the uninstallation via Settigs/System/Remove Programs.
I made the experience, that this works to 100%.

- Weather problem (solved by using this patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2480618&postcount=979 Thanks cesc!!)
- On some devices contacts 3d mode is slow or may not work. Use plain mode instead.
- Flash may be slow on some devices and may drain battery faster. Understand flash implies very intensive CPU usage.

Just tried it on my Blue Angel WM6.1
Runs a little slow, seems quite buggy too graphics wise, but a great idea and once refined could become very nice indeed!
Great work!
Coolest app around
I will upload my setup when I get my stupid 19701 build rom working properly
looks great! but, i cant get the default setup cab to install, just keeps telling me install unsuccesful. i tried soft resetting and installing again, to no avail. the actual program itself installed fine. also tried the exe setup and get the file is corrupted error.
nevermind. right clicked then saved target, now file size is right. thanks again for the great app.

Hi!
Sorry for the bug you may have found... May I ask what kind of bugs are you experimenting? Theorically it must work quite fast on a 400 Mhz CPU like your's. I've tested it on my Herald and works quite fluent.

Hi again,
I tried running it again when I got home from work.
The glitch is now gone. What happened was the wallpaper of my today screen turned grey and stayed grey until I did a soft-reset. Also the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen kept showing up on top of the Throttlelauncher icons.
One thing I notice is that when scrolling the bottom icons, there is a freeze when the second hand moves on the clock.
Also, I tried adding a contact...it seemed to work fine. I tried adding another...then it stopped responding...the new contact didnt appear. I could still scroll the bottom icons, but selecting any of them didn nothing, it didnt respond. I had to soft reset.
Hi!
Thanks for the quick answer!
Are you using the main app (ThrottleLauncher) or the today plugin (ThrottleToday today screen plugin)?

One suggestion tho, when you scroll the bottom icons, the background turns black, can't it be transparent?

Hi!!
You can try making it transparent by two methods (both experimental) but probably it will be too much for a 195 Mhz processor... It's is for my Herald (overclocking to 273 make faketransparency look near smooth). If you wanna try it, access the setup config dialog (Through ThrottleConfig app) and go to experimental tab. There set to true even truetransparency (the slowest option) or fake transparency, click save, exit and then click the reload button.
Thanks!!
good program and it will be a great program once the speed and the bugs get worked out.
I can't wait for the next release.

Thanks for the comment but.... can you be a little more specific with the "bug" thing... If I don't know them I cannot solve them! .

Thanks!!

Most of my errors were due to Certifications, but I changed the rom yesterday night and all that went away. I did what the post said, but no luck. I think that the problem was that I tried to manually uninstall it before I read your post, and I erased the other reg key as well as the program folder before erasing the one in "Security". For future reference (at least for me), order does matter Aw well, i guess it is back to re-flashing for me. Thanks for your help though

Thanks for the screeny . I'll try to figure out a way to hide the tray bar....
About the touchflo 3D... I'm currently working on a new way of scrolling similar to the footer of touchflo 3d. I've it already working but I wan't to improve graphics before releasing. If you mean if you can make something similar to the weather animations and that stuff.... I'm sorry to say no.... Any way I can try to develop a setup close as possible to touchflo 3D.
Thanks!!
[size=+2]Now supports ALL HTC Diamond/HTC Diamond Pro variants![/size]
Gyrator has an advanced graphical configuration interface which can be used to create
thousands of combinations of events to suit every users needs. Windows can be excluded
from all events, or only some of them. Customisable sound events can be triggered, and
the device can be made to vibrate for any event. The keypad can be locked, the screen
can be turned off, or the entire device can be instructed to suspend.
There's alot more information, too much to display here, along with advanced information
and guides on the project website which can be found at: http://gyrator.brins0.net

Requirements:
- HTC Diamond / HTC Diamond Pro

A big thanks to my beta tester "LucidObscurity" from the forums, who's helped me iron out some of the small bugs.
Also a big thanks to one of my kind users, "Kiekeboe100", for donating the webspace gyrator.brins0.net is hosted in.
Forum user "starbase64" has written a useful tutorial for German Gyrator users which can be found here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/windows_mobile_6_6_1_forum/54564-gyrator_screen_rotator.html

Doesn't rotate programs on the Touch Pro here, but it can somehow rotate the TouchFlo interface.
Same on HTC Diamond. Rotates main screen (messes up graphics for the icon tab) but still rotates it. Wont rotate anything else i tried so far.
Got an error 2 after few rotates

- Make sure you have the .NET Compact Framework v3.5 installed. It will work with 2.0, but can have issues (I've run my tests with 3.5)
Also, there are known issues with the touchflo interface. Normally screen rotation is completely disabled on the diamond to remove any possibilities of program messing up, so it's bound to cause issues i'm afraid. When I ran tests on my device, I didn't come across any errors, although I have completely removed TF3D from my diamond.
Can you try and make the error happen again, and record the steps you took to make it happen, as well as all the information the error window gives you, and i'll try and correct the problem.
Edit 1: Forgot to add that the library cannot retrieve orientation information on some devices with certain roms installed, but that's out of my control i'm afraid. It will affect all programs that rely on the "Sensors" sdk library.
Edit 2: Can you also tell me which roms (OS/Radio) you are using as well, as this will likely be related to the problem in some way (See Edit 1)

As I mentioned in a previous post, Manilla (Touch Flo 3D) is known to cause problems in non-portrait orientations...
The options are in the top of the right softkey menu, there's 3 of them:
Enable Rotation
Enable Sounds
Enable Images
Application is ver similar as gsen in regards to Telus Mobility Diamonds.
Rotation does not work except for within the programs list. Any where else (text messages, ie, etc) absolutely does not work
darn!

Yeah, i'm afraid that's a limitation of the library which has been made availabel to us. It Telus want to go and destroy the ROM/device, then unfortunately we have no control over it. It's like T-Mobile removing 64MB of the RAM when they changed the shell, it's only got 128MB now. I do wish I knew why companies like to bastardise perfectly good phones, then sell them on as if they were the same... It's quite insulting sometimes...
[2008/09/22] New version!
A new version has been released, so have added this post to bump the topic up.
This is a large update, and should be used instead of the older version as it confains various new options and features, as well as performance updates.
Link to information post concerning the updates, as well as download information.
Thanks for this mate,works like a charm.Tried the rotation out on most of my programs and it works flawlessly.My contacts rotate fine and the text message also,the text input even changes to full qwerty keyboard on rotation,amazing.

I've disabled TouchFlo 3D on my device, so unfortunately I can't get the window title/class for it, to add it to the blacklist. If you would be kind enough to find the class for it (i'm guessing the entire today screen) then it can be added to the configuration file for all to see.
I've added the "Applications.ini" file to my server for folk to download. this will be updated more frequently than the application, so keep an eye out for changes
I don't think it likes my Touch Pro. It works fine using File Explorer but that's it. After trying to test it out in the all settings and all programs menus it gives the error that Levka posted.

As previously stated, i'm afraid this is out of my control, although hopefully in the near future, the library will be improved, and will be able to deal with these "different" devices. As soon as support has been improved, i'll be sure to include it in my latest build.
[2008/09/23] New version!

2)install Framework v3.5 via ActiveSync?
Hello,
I'm following the beta's off the release from Mobillityflow Touch-Shell.
More info: http://www.touch-shell.com/beta
I'm testing this all on my HTC Kaiser (Tytn II) with WM 6.1.
It has a slide-out keyboard, so that explains the screenshots (portrait & landscape)
They release the one beta after the other but don't update what has been changed.
I posted in an other post a review how i thinked about the program with screenshots and they liked my review:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412823).
So i got a free copy!
Because off that i want to follow the beta's more. I started this new post so i can manage the first posts and it's easier to follow the updates for you guys.
For now there are my older reviews in the #2, #3 & #4 post, please tell me what i could test and what you want to see changed in the program (the developers will read it to!)
If there are enough people enjoying, giving feedback, etc. I'll update this post more and more.
It's a bit messy for now
Ow, don't forget to fill in the poll!
Tested on 2009-01-22 Version 0.0.2.28 beta
Today i tought again about this program and installed the new beta.
They don't say what the diffirent is, they just uploaded it.
2009-01-22 Version 0.0.2.28 beta:
Changes I notifced:
It corrected displayed now all the tabs when switching from portrait tot landscape (unlike in earlier versions, see post #22). I do this by sliding out my keyboard on my Kaiser.
BUT when removing to much tabs, it shows something off the last page (see what I marked red in screenshot 7 & 8)

- The music tab seems to function, i miss the buttons repeat and shuffle, but that's all. First time you press play or something else on the page it will load Windows Media Player.
- Everything seems to work smoother (switching to pages, clock animation, weather animation, etc...).
Touch Shell uses 3.3 MB memory on my Kaiser without Windows Media Player playing. With Windows Media Player it uses 3.5 MB
Everything was slowing down when playing music, but i noticed that Windows Media Playser used 33.6 MB (!), so i killed it and everything worked normal again.
I will test this more (I don't think this has anything to do with Touch-Shell).
Older beta test 1/2
1/2
I used many different Today Shells (spb, m2d, m3d, ultimatelaunch, touch-commander, etc.)
Touch-commander was great, but was to simple for me.
What I think is about Touch-Shell (tested it with M2d shutted down):
- It's a program, not a plugin.
- Nice lay-out on my Tytn II (320x240)
BUT when i turn it to landscape by sliding my keyboard out (240x320) sadly enough it doesn't re-allign.
Screenshots:
- The Weather page looks great, many chooses (accuweather & gismeteo) and great graphics.
--- Continued at next post (i may only post 4 images) ---
older beta test 2/2
2/2
- The launcher and contact page are both the same (you can add contacts and programs whatever you want). Disadvantage: one click call, so no link to the contact to choose call or sms, but 1 click calling.
- Music page is just a link to Windows Media player, nothing more!
I was playing music in the background, but you can't see it in the screenshot.
So I think (and hope) it's developing. Support for coreplayer, TCMP, etc.?
- The plugin page, is just 1 page where you can add plugins (hope there will come more support. Like plugins below the clock or something).
- The lowest "menu" where you can choose wich page you wanna go isn't as great as m2d but works fast.
- Choose to close pages you don't use (see plugin page, there i've left the close button)
- Choose the start page (after booting, wake-up)
- Much options if you compare it with m2d: Very short most off the options (hope it will be more)
-Load on Windows start
-Home page: 12/24 hours clock, blinking every 1-5 seconds on or off. Date format (dddd dd MMMM yyy for exapmle)
-Weather page: choose all the citys from AccuWeather or GisMeteo. Units. Connection, choose wich one to use, or default. Auto update interval, show or don't show connection status balloon.
-Plugins page: wich plugins and move them up and down
-Choose wich page is the start page and when to display it (device wakup, device idle for...)
-Switch page visual effect: Horizontal Slide, Page Turn, Rotation and choose a background color
I think it will be a great program, i've played a couple of hours with it.
It is to much beta to say anything really good or really bad about it.
Hope you enjoyed my review (feedback is welcome...)
You can ask questions, the program will stay a couple off days (15?) on my phone .
does it support square screen?
I have installed Touch Shell on my Wizard and is working fine. But it needs to be activated. Please let me know the activation key...

It should support it. Not sure about it.
If you could test it and report it in this threat it will be great
Omnia (WVGA) is not supported as i readed it from 2 "testers".

works with vga?
I´ve copied some post from the original post:
BUT, that was before the newer betas come out.
Before it doesn't reallign on my Kaiser (from portrait to landscape), now it does. That does mean that the application probaly is "streched" to the screen where it was before just 240x320 and nothing else.
The best thing you could do is test, make screenshots and post it back here
Answer is short: probaly it does, not sure, test it yourself please.

Touch Shell does not work on VGA devices which is a let down for me. Or at least it's not working on my Fuze... I did however test it out on my wifes Tilt and it only seemed to be a glorified Touch Commander.
I was highly looking forward to this so I hope future versions become more robust like TF3D. I know it's early beta so I still have high hopes.

thank you
i'm waiting for a new release
Touch-Shell v0.0.2.46 is out still not fix the animate weather on HTC Touch and little slow on respond.
I was a big fan of Touch Commander and made many skins for it. Now since getting a Fuze and having TF3D, Touch Shell seems too far behind and is no comparison. It may have taken too long to get Touch Shell going and people might have moved on. (Just my opinion with no facts to back it up)
With the popularity of the Touch Pro / Fuze / Diamond / Touch HD, all with TF3D included, can TS compete? I'll still support them and will most likely purchase when there is a full VGA release and crank out some skins..

VGA has been supported for weeks now ( not sure about official though). I used it on my Diamond but it's still not quite up to speed and is still a little buggy so I again uninstalled it.
Also, TS CAN compete in one way to TF3D. I offers something that TF3D does not: a complete Today Plugin tab within the shell that exactly mimics the traditional Today screen. That one feature sets it apart from any other shell I've used.

Hi all If you already follow my Thread of" Pocket Gforce" you know that i stop working on it because of the lack of time.
Atm igot myself whit some spare time and whit lots of requests to continue the project.
So i start developing a new Pocket Gforce (v2) that is fully customizable and works in any Resolution(VGA, WVGA, etc and Landscape or Portrait) as long you got a proper skin.
This is where you come in.
This is the skin that i made and i will explain how you can make one.

BIG UPDATE
The "basic.png" is the skin that i create (i advice to use paint.net or other program to make the skins using layers)
The "basic.ini" is the configuration of the skin like this
//Starts Here (don't change the lines order)

dial_a=29 (aperture of the dial)
dial_color_r=255 (dial red color 0~255)
dial_color_g=255 (dial green color 0~255)

graph_background_enable=0 (show background on graph or transparency 1/0)
graph_background_color_r=0
graph_background_color_g=0
graph_background_color_b=0
// the file continues for the Y Z T and Speed dials (at the moment speed dont work)
(Midle dial is "S", left one is "Y", right is "Z" and bottom is "X"
And this is the part that show all the skins that you have in the skins folder and where you can change them. To access it push middle button or open "Pocket gForce 2 Options"
Unbaliveble only one person post something and actually no one contact me about skins or beta testing so i suppose no one really cares... but i had 1215downloads of it
So if the community don't want to help i just gonna sell my project as i was always for open source but...
Any way the program is now working whit the Sensors and in the next week i will test whit the gps part.
So do you really care/like about Pocket Gforce ? What to see Pocket Gforce 2 at max capacity, the way you like and above all FREE?
So Start making some skins...

any way i already downlodad ir lets see if its work on my omnia ill let you know
Please keep up the good work, if you received no big feedback for your apps, this might be just because the people are happy with it and got no problems. I see most of the replies for any application is based on errors and bugs.
Hi all i made some major updates as the Sensores are now working and i implemented a graph system.
Check the skins i made so you can understand the possibility of this program, and ppl plz contribute whit some skins tips or critics cuz i need some incentive to keep it free

It should work but back then the sensors where not activated, check the latest versions, but as the originals skins don't have the proper size you will not use the full size of your screen.

I suppose your right but no comments at all is very frustrating...
I have downloaded it. I will reply after the use.
Ah thats awesome
I love the version befor, hmm i dont remember the version number but i truly love it!
One thing i think you implement or change is a tab or mode that the speedometer is the same size as the overall g-meter.
That i think would be nice
Just PM me if you need any testing!

EDIT
I noticed one thing, I have SPB Mobile Shell, on a Touch Diamond, and when i start the app and it change the display to landscape, it wont change back to regular mode after exit.

hi !!
i've never used your app, but i can test the last version if you want !!
I'm searching such an app for a long time, because i can't buy me a Nissan GTR !! (To understand the joke, ask google to show you the computer screen of that car !!)
Have a nice day !!
love the v1 app but couldn't get it to show in MPH, so thought i'd give the new version a try. Looking good so far but the screen doesn't fill properly on my TouchHD. Also, can't find a way to exit the app, other than taskmanager which leaves the screen in landscape mode. Thx

As i say there is a need to some one to make some skins for other resolutions so my one skins fit best on VGA devises, wi dont you try to make some skins and post them here for other also? And dont forget that is not only backgroud is also what you whant to display.

Actualy i forgot that not all devises have the Dpad so my new vertion will be totaly TouchScreen controled, sorry for that.
Any way the new vertion will be release next monday or so whit the GPS working.
I've no idea how to make a skin, but if you give me some pointers, or links to tutorials i'll have a go, I mean, how hard can it be?? LOL (ducks)

I supose my explanation on the first post is a ls some what confuse, so here is a temporaty tourial as i supose i can make a video and post in youtube
I recommend you grab a copy of the free Paint.Net whit as me tool "magic wand" for select parts of images and have multi layer capability. There are lots of tutorials about it.
1. google some gauge dials like this one for example
2. find some nice background for it
3. use Paint.net and the tool "magic wand" to cut only the dial (normally you need to adjust the % of the tool to get the part you need.
4. you wil get a clean image of the dial without the background, remove also anything you dont want, like needles if it there is any or any text you dont need.
5. make a new image whit you device resolution whit the background
6. Put a new layer on top of the background and copy/past the dial in the spot you want
7. repeat the last step fot the rest of the dials
8. save it as "test.png" MUST BE PNG
9. Open one of the already created skins like "basic.ini"
(check post one for a explanation of the ini file)
10. disable anything that you dont use (like some dials digitals or graphs)
11. start putting coordinates and sizes (use paint.net to get the coordnates for some poits like the center of the dial.
12. save it as "test.png"
13. copy the "test.png" and "test.ini" to the skins folder
14. enjoy
Ok, thought I'd try something simple to start with so i just made an HD version of your basic skin. I wanted to put the speed on there too, but it shows as huge 'g' numbers so i just turned it off in the ini. Once i figure out the concept of skinning properly i'll come up with some others (i prefer a portrait style). Incidentally i the middle dial is 'T' not 'S' as stated in your instructions. Couldn't figure out how to make the dials eliptical rather than round either.
I think i'm getting the hang of it. Tweaked gfAnalizer for the HD and created a new skin from scratch. Let me know what you think, obviously the speedo isn't working but i've left it enabled anyway.
Nice start whit the skins, im going to put the layer files of basic so ppl can use them easy.
Im compiling users skin on then 3post, after some more skins appear
Just been for a test drive
There are a few things i think this app needs:
Exit option
Calibrate or Zero option when installed in car.
0-60 time which starts when car moves off and stops when reaching 60.
Log facility, ideally with gps info stored for overlay on google maps
