Windows Live Search Today plugin?

Hi I've done a couple searches and come up emtpy. I'm looking for the Windows Live Search today plugin. Also does anyone know if there is a way to edit it to search google instead of Windows Live Search. I've got it on a ROM on my Wizard and would like to put it on my Kaiser. Thanks.

It comes automatic, when you install windows live messenger on your PDA.
By first goin in the net, the messenger ask you, do want the today plugin live search.

Gotcha, thanks. That's horrible. I don't want full blown Messenger I just like that today searcher the best. Well, better then "SearchToday". I might have to give in though. Do you know if it's possible to edit the reg or something to have it search google instead. Or would you happen to know of any good replacement Today searchers off hand? There was one that wasn't free I think that let you search from different places like, images, google, wiki dynamically.

i'm pretty sure that either kaisertweak or advancedconfi can edit the livesearch on the today screen to search google. i dont remember off hand, but i think its in the lasted advanced config.

Yeah the Advanced Config allows you to change the plugins search engine

weather radar app for ppc ::wanted::

Does anyone know of a good animated doppler radar app that i can zoom in close enough to see a few big streets for ppc? Its been raining here alot and using skyfire to look at an interactive doppler map is really a pain.
Ive tried
RadarWatch2 -only one level of zoom.
weatherpanel by mars - radar broken.
memory map radar - cannot install "device incompatible"
dopplermobile - i have no idea whats going on with this app. I was told it was a weather app but you open it and it seems more like a blog reader.
Im running wm6 on a htc touch. All i want is radar thats animated so i can see what direction the rain is moving in. And to be able to zoom close enought to see some major roads. Ive used the search function and havent found anything.

WeatherPanel is the best, I'm sure many will agree. But why do you want to zoom in to see streets with your weather radar? Seems pointless honestly, anyways, when you say it's broken, are you referring to some of the preset maps not working? If your in the US, use the map marked "2", that one works.

Sounds like you must be here where im at...
Weatherpanel works with the radar, but only the 2nd one for the US. I really don't know why. BUT I do wish there was a program like google maps with a radar overlay. aka whats on weather.com

Marsware WeatherPanel radar images DO work...probably just the default URLs that the program uses are now dead links. I have posted a short tutorial (generated by Storyr on WeatherPanel.net) in my Diamond WeatherPanel Theme thread. See post #95 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781
Using the tutorial you can add any number of radar images to WeatherPanel and auto-update them to your heart's content. Any image that you can link to via a URL can be used by WeatherPanel.

Thank you i will try using weatherpanel again, that was my problem was the weather data could be seen but no image to go with it. Can you zoom in close enough to see a major street?
The reason why i want the zoom function is so i can see exactly where the rain is and which way it is headed. When its zoomed out you really have to just guess weather a certain area like a park is wet or not.

Every radar image is different, so it is possible, you just need the right one. If your looking for a major street, check to see if there is a traffic cam posted, then you can use that. But radar will update as fast as every 30 min.

im confused. how will the weather app know what image im using so it can put the weather in the right places? or did you mean id have to swap the image with a working one that has the radar already on it?
Also i didnt mean zoom to an actual street level view. I meant to be able to zoom in and out as much as google maps... or close to the level of zoom.
this is what im using now with skyfire http://www.weather.com/weather/map/interactive/?animation=true .. but its a real pain. i dont see a reason why it couldnt be made as an app for ppc. Wishful thinking, i guess.
thanks for the suggestions.

You just select the images per city, 8 max. The first will be displayed as default. The image itself, at least the default, is just the image, nothing interactive, so zooming too much will just blur it. But, you can use any custom image URL, try using that image from that site, it may work.

Im sure it wont work... its not an image on that site, its flash. although, that would be pretty impressive if weatherpanel supported flash. Also im looking for something animated. Does weatherpanel support animations?

if you mean icons then yes, check weatherpanel on ppcgeeks.com, much more info there

Yes I'm using the stardock animated icons for the small images, with the phatphinger 2 theme. Done by storyr @ ppcgeeks

Make Your own Panel (I think)

Hi All,
Don't know if somebody already posted this, but I couldn't find a thread about it.
I just saw a link in a Dutch forum regarding a website where you can create your own panel.
Here's the link: http://www.mysonyericssonblog.com/x1panelcreator/index.php?step=1&lang=en
It's just that my Italian is not that good, so I cannot find the guide. Maybe somebody here can find it and explain how it exactly works. But it sure looks promising.
Herman

Here is the English tutorial
BTW. It's an HTML panel designer

WOW Nice find,
without reading it all yet, will do later, it looks like it will be incredibly simple to do something such as a program launcher.

cool, i'm thinking of making a Hyves panel (dutch facebook like social website)..
Groet, Steven

this sounds great but i dont know how to program in html
anyone one able to give me a basic guide

Wow! This is a great find!
Now I just need to come up with some good panel ideas...

Nice!
What you guys want?

Get hold of a WYSIWYG website editor and use one of those..
I think dreamweaver is still available as a trial, try that to build what you want to see, then save the page as html.
otherwise there's huge amounts of websites that give tutorials on html, it's not difficult at all.

SE Panel SDK supports native panel (i.e. panel developed using windows programming technique) and html-based panel. the latter will be more designer-friendly, but probably won't be sophiscated as the native since API will be limited. That said, with all the panel request on running certain app as the background, I got to say html-based panel might just well do the job.

This is a really awesome find. Makes things simpler/quicker...

Try a simple program launcher, that should give you a taster of what to do.

what about some sort of task manager panel, maybe if possible with more info than the standard task manager. it could include info for battery, ram, cpu use, heat etc. a sort of all in one info panel/task manager

Sounds like a good idea.
At the minute im just making a simple development panel.
Just so people can see how it works when they look at the HTML of the panel etc.
Ive managed to open .exe's etc, just wondering how to open sections of the .exe.
For example: clock.exe opens up the alarm bit where you can set alarms. However im wondering if the tabs on that part are also part of clock.exe
Does anyone know how I can access \\Windows of my X1 on my PC? I can only seem to access it using Total Commander on my X1 and to be honest. Its hard to scroll through thousands of files on such a small screen lol

how about a games panel?

Thats dependant on the games you have installed. I could do it with the games already on the phone but other than that, each person would have to customise it for their own phone

could the panel have settings in the panel manager, where the user could add and delete games?

As long as you've got activesync or the vista version installed you should be able to go through my computer.. But I'm on my linux machine at the mo so can't say what exactly the path is.
I don't think you can overwrite files in x1 windows btw direct from the pc.

Offline google maps?

is that possible on the hd? after a thorough search over the internet i found an application called gpsproga that claims to allow you to save google maps on the storage card but to my luck it is in some weird ass looking language i think russian so i am back to square one :S.. the maps i need are for the middle east hence tomtom or other similar applications won't help me.

It is available for (jailbreaked, as no official Apple app) iPhones ... but someone might contact the author and see whether it is possible to port it to WM 6.1.
Cheers,
Eriol

Opera 9.7

I'm not sure if this has been already. covered... but i don't know exactly what to call it... but when i browse using opera.. and use eitherpinch to zoom or the double tap... the page on the screen starts shaking and moving.... like it jumps from one part of the page to another... has there been any fixes or tweaks to at least reduce it? and also do you guys even know what I'm talking about... thanks

hmm... can someone at least tell me the proper name for what i am experiencing so that i can research it myself?

let me answer your question. this problem is caused by text reflow. Period. thats it. that is the answer. you try to zoom on something,you get there, but then the screen jumps all the way to the left for some reason/ yeah. that is reflow at work. and it sucks.
i tried to find a way to disable it for many many days. re-bumping my thread again and again.
there is a way to disable reflow, but it comes at the cost of ugly webpages. usually text are aligned in a way that is not natural.
Search my threads. I am still trying to find a way, but I hoped i answered your question.
let me know if you find something better. =)

You need to download the newest build of Opera 9.7 from this forum. I have build 3600, and it is very smooth. Pinch-to-zoom works properly, text reflow doesnt cause the web page to jump all over the place either.
The update is just an exe file that you overwrite in the Windows directory.

try this. Worked wonders for me

I'm using the 3600 build as well, it's still not perfect in regards to the jumping but it is massively improved.

I have this installed as well. Its is a conbination of registry hacks to improve the smoothness of Opera. But the main tweak is to change the virtual screen size to 1024 pixels wide. Although you would need to change it to 1020 pixels to ensure that double-tap continues to work in portrait view.
The cab previously posted comes from this thread and page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627441&page=6
Here is another link for Opera Smooth tweaks, which I also installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626157
Maybe a combination of the above and build 3600 will change your opinion...
