Iphone Gmail interface on Windows Mobile ? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi all,
I would like to have the iphone gmail interface you have on google.com/gmail but on my WM device.
If I make it by changing the user agent on NetFront, it works but not really well...
Has anyone found a solution ?
Thank for your answers;
Regards

not clear if you are asking for a stand alone app or a browser
if browser i would try opera mobile

Chat logging Windows Live Messenger?

Just wondering if this is possible on WM6, and how would I go about doing it? I'm open to third-party IM clients.

Hi,
Take a look at http://www.im-history.com
It's an application that save your history from many IM Clients (including Messenger). And there is a client for WM too.
IMO it's a great idea, and free...

I was convinced that I saw a version for Windows Mobile on the forums of IM-History, but I can't find it now.
If I find it I will let you know.
Sorry for the false alarm.

Latest Gmail App For Windows Mobile.

Hi All mates download gmail directly. from
Code:
http://m.google.com/app/v2.0.6/L1/gmail-g.jar
or find the attached file. and simply run.
Anyone get a screenie and a little feedback?
You can actually set up Gmail through TF3D though, right?
you can set up GMail in pocket outlook....
Yeah, that's what I thought, so I was wondering why you would want a seperate app for it...
This is a java application, that is not intended specifically for WM. So I think it is actually for java enabled dumb phones...
But this application has some advantages. If I refer to desktop PC, it is like using web address of gmail instead of configuring MS outlook. So you can use gmail web interface if you find it more useful.
Also you have access to ALL emails via the gmail app, not just the last 5 days or howevery ou have set it up.
This isnt really new, its been out awhile.. Major bug I have with it is that the timezone for my emails is different from my phone, so it says I recieved a new message 5 hours into the future. I posted on Google Mobile Help, but Google doesnt seem to give a ****. Wish they had a good REAL WM Gmail app. Using Pocket Outlook sucks for gmail as well

Where? Please post a link...
dont think so... searched gmail/google. culdnt find anything
You are the best, that gmail 2.0.6 you've attached works perfect and really fast on my SonyEricsson XPERIA X1 (WM 6.1), but download link from google site don't work. Maybe they've relocated it.
I dont see the point unless you need activesync for a different email account.
Hi guys,
After installing Gmail app v2.0.6 on my HTC HD2 and running it via jblend everything is OK except; after entering user ID and pass, clicking on sign-in ( on the bottom - right) move me to password filed and wont log-in att all !!

Or any solution to sign-in ??
Tnx in advanced

IDEA: Easy way to have a native GMAIL app on Windows Mobile...

I had an epiphany today, I want to share this idea, perhaps someone here has the knowledge to pull it off, unfortunately, I am not a C programmer:
Gmail already has built in RSS feeds. Every Gmail account hass RSS feeds for every label at https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/LABEL/ (This also works for Apps at https://mail.google.com/a/DOMAIN.TLD/feed/atom/LABEL/ ).
The only requirement is that the feed reader support authentication.
Now lets bring pRSSreader into the equation (http://code.google.com/p/prssr/)
Supports SSL, Yes!
Supports Authntication, YES!
Source Code Available! GPL!
So to start: A competent developer begin with the pRSSreader code, change the UI a bit so that it will revolve around inputing gmail accounts and it will be able to read our mail)
The next step is to add a simple SMTP component that will send outgoing mail through the GMAIL smtp.
What do the smart people here think?
I'm not critisizing your idea by any means, but why not using the mobile JAVA app done by google?
It works flawlessly with JBED or JEODEK for WM. The functionality is also great. Of course, it's not native WM app, but it's still worth a while.

The JAVA app is great... except that the text font (including menu and everything) is too tiny and small on my Diamond. Otherwise it's great app...

Go to m.gmail.com on your phone, and then download it. It should automatically recognize that you have a windows mobile phone and offer you the JAVA version to download.

^^ that was the point of ethanpil's suggestion.
@ethanpil, I think it's a good idea, the only hole I see is that it's mostly for people who actually use the labels now, yes?
wait....maybe i'm not understanding u guys properly...u dont wanna use the mail program that it came with?? i have a diamond and i synced it to my outlook which has gmail..so when i'm on WIFI it vibrates when i get a gMail.....
so what is it that Java program do that this one doesn't??
Why not use Emoze? That has true push and works great with Gmail. Gmail also has a Exchange server for your calender and contacts.

sinara, look for VGA hacked JBED (here on XDA) - it solves problems with small fonts on our devices.

You can fix the font sizes with simple regedits.
Why do ppl want this?? Outlook can link to IMAP from google natively. Which All wm6 phones have...so why does anyone care about an external app that windows can do by default. I'm not discounting it or anything I'm just really confused on this issue

I am with you here, gmail with imap is the way to go. If your device automagically finds gmail settings, just misspell gmail when entering your email addy, then fix it after you have unchecked to automatically find settings.
I believe the reason for doing this is to get away from the built-in (WM) applications which for the most part suck. Not to mention that the emails are stored in a database and not in individual files (as in Qmail). Even if it was stored in a database, the database should be easily manipulated to allow for quick backup and recovery operations (SQLite?). Not to mention that such an application can implement great features like imap-idle and connecting over 1x/gprs to save battery life (and privates).
Just my two cents.
The reason is as many have guessed above:
1) The Java version sucks for WM users: its not native, and a few times alerady if I exited hastily by hitting the X instead of through the menus then my DB was corrupted and I had to reinstall the app
2) Something native will be able to take advantage of all of the features of WM and run in the background better.
3) The native apps also suck.
4) Push IMAP and activesync take horrendous battery power
Anyway, I have been using NewsBreak to read my gmail by RSS and it works great, updates once per hour, and runs real fast in background and I get notification of new emails and I only downlod the labels I need... Its just a pain to then login to gmail app to reply...
I have a small application (in VB.NET) that I am working on but in this moment it is "work in progress". I am able to connect to GMail over SSL in POP3, SMTP and IMAP.
In this moment I am trying out POP3 but I have some problems when downloading larger attachments from GMail (out-of-memory exceptions) which I have to sort out.
I guess I could make a native application for GMail - however the first beta version would not support attachments (at least larger attachmnets - let's say more than 200KB - until I have sorted out the problem mentioned above).
In order to produce a first version, I still would need some days but if there's interest, I could give it a shot.
Rgds,
Tilleke

Add spellchecking to your applications.

this would def worth a shot since it's a bunch of shareware ideas taken into an all in one freeware app to add to our collection of greatly developed freeware. i'd rather use a custom made freeware app that will always add features rather than waste memory with certain shareware programs just to have all the bells and whistles scattered across the cluttered memory

I've been doing that since my 8525.. I can't believe that anyone would rather 'fight' with a 3rd party app.. I can see the argument for push, but if you really need up to date inbox, just get a scheduler to set your 'active' hours so you get faster updates when you need it. Typically I get emails at the same time though.

There are a few notepad applications on the marketplace but they are sub-par IMO. No, dreamweaver or anything like it is not on Android.
Export your contacts and upload them to your Google account "contacts" section then sync your phone.

Opera 9.7 and Gmail web interface

Is there an option somewhere in Opera 9.7 which allows you to determine what mobile view you'd like for sites like gmail?
Using Dutty's ROM's I get a nice view of gmail similar to that on the iPhone which is nice and finger friendly.
On almost every other ROM I use it is formatted differently and much harder to use. I even tried installing the version of Opera from Dutty's latest ROM onto other roms and still not the same. The option in Settings for using mobile view isn't what I'm looking for either. Any ideas how to get other ROMs to look like Dutty's when using Gmail.com through the browser?
Hi that's probably because the Opera app in Duttys ROM has fake iphone "User Agent" so that web pages believe it's an iphone.
Anyway, fortunately for you, you can force gmail to display the nice iphone interface by going straight to this specific gmail url:
http://mail.google.com/mail/x/gdlakb-/gp/
Bookmark that url and every time you click it you'll get the nice interface.
Also you can check the different interfaces/modes of gmail here:

Hope it helps Cheers

Thanks for the link! That worked great for Gmail.
Unfortunately, I also have a gmail hosted corporate domain and I'm not sure how to translate that link to access my corporate mail. How can I fake the user agent?
Edit: I found out I could change the Custom User Agent setting in the registry to match Dutty's. Now getting the same mobile experience I was hoping for in other ROMs... It wasn't actually the iPhone view but I like it.
