I made a little something for you!
Tippy is a bill splitter and tip calculator for Windows Mobile. It was designed to work on all resolutions and to never require use of the stylus.
I improved many things with v.1.1. Lots of bugs were fixed, UI was made easier to use and a big button SIP was added for number input. You should definitively update if you have 1.0!

Enjoy!
I will tell you right now this is one useful program. Great Job, I will let you know of any problems as I use it more.

I was affraid the demand would be too small but seeing people are interested I'll pursue development a bit.
VGA for devices is ready (Force QVGA) but it needs .net CF and I didn't want it around for a first release. I'll also add more currency symbols as suggested on another forum.
Something I did that I would like to see more often is settings saved to text files. It can be edited easily by anyone and leaves nothing after uninstall.
Thank you for sharing!
I am definately going to try this out.
Great idea!

feature request
i still haven't been able to put it on my phone, but i'll have a crack at it tonight... from the screen shot on your site... i like how the tip percentage and number of people are configured with finger friendly buttons... what do you think about adding an easier way to add the amount to tip? i don't know if you've used g-alarm... but maybe something like how you set the alarm time in that? where you have add/subtract buttons below each digit (that way u wouldn't have to bring up the keyboard).
keep it up

That's interesting. I'll try G-Alarm and look for what you are talking about.
I might add a pop-up form with a keypad when you click the text box and see how this work.
I don't like the look very much so I might add a cuter UI (skinnable ) if it doesn't slow down the launch time too much.
I love the idea, and tried it. BUT the calucation is WRONG. Hope it will be fixed soon.

Oops! You are right! Once you start messing with the amount of people present it gets ugly. I'll fix that soon enough!
I don't test my apps enough
I fixed the results so they should be accurate now.
I'm currently working on a big keypad to type the amount. I will also add some languages and currencies and eventually skinnable interface.
UPDATE:
I made the following changes:
-Tip is now accurately calculated
-The amount is entered using a SIP keypad
-The + and - buttons for tip and people are now changing individual digits instead of the whole number. It's much faster and easier to enter it now.
-Changed the look a bit, fixed control resize errors when rotating screen, VGA should work well.
After all I won't add a skinnable UI to save space and keep the app fast and usable.
I only have a few minor fixes left to be done so I should release v.1.1 tomorrow. (I'm on Ubuntu and I'm too lazy to reboot... and Vista sucks).
Ta-da! An update!
A lot of stuff was fixed, including all of the suggestions except languages

I know you can download different today plug-ins, and i know about VisBar and such, but I don't see how your today screens look so different from mine (after looking at various 'today screen' threads).
My screen is just several horizontal lines, with the usual "no new messages", "active tasts", etc, and a couple of plugins.
I see people's screens with a completely different layout.
Cheers for any replies
matheprat: it might be worth reading through some of the threads on this subject, eg here:

Thanks for the link, very helpful.
How do you get rid of only the bottom toolbar in WM5? I downloaded the program that other people had used, but I could only get rid of the top bar (which i'd prefer to keep), and not the bottom one.
Cheers
matheprat: If you're referring to the program ToggleToday, I haven't released it yet for WM5, but it's coming very soon.

If you need an alternative, try Wisbar Desktop Advance.
V
Note: Wisbar 2 or desktop is very very laggy
Use PPX instead if you want better speed, its just as good as WisDesktop.
This is the skin I m currently using
Does PPX work on WM5? Looking on their website it doesn't mention specific compatibility, but has anyone got it runniung satisfactorily?
Cheers,
Fin
Yes, I forgot to mention PPX. It takes quite a bit of headscratching to get it set up, but it works well in the end. Never tried it on WM5.

I'm still looking for a alternative interface for my phone to operate more easily with my fingers instead of my stylus.
It's so hard to quickly find a contact in my contact list while on a bike, in my car, etc since the scrollbar is like 3 pixels wide. Or to lock the phone or close an application, the icons are to frigging small
Not that I have big hands, rather small for a guy even but still...
Any suggestions?
matheprat: not sure when it'll be released, when I get time!
I'm working on too many other things as well, it's really just when I get a few minutes to work on each bit. Hopefully release fairly soon, as I said, WM5 is done, I need to join it to my old WM2003 code and then check it against a companion today plugin I wrote. Quite a bit of behind the scenes stuff involved

I didn't mean to come accross pushy, sorry if I did. I know there's a lot of work needed in developing programs, and no doubt it will be worth it when it is released.
Many thanks
matheprat: no offence taken at all, didn't think you were being pushy.
ToggleToday was one of the first programs I ever wrote, and then I bought myself a Universal to start development on, but accidently wrote VJBigPhone and that kept me busy for a month or so
Now VJBigPhone has gone quiet, I'm finally getting around to re-writing ToggleToday! It's a messy program to write, particularly for dual WM5/WM2003 compatibility, but the basic code is written. Now I'm wrapping it together and will work on a GUI for it.

The MOST stable Today Information plugin eva
By the way, can someone recommend the most stable Today Information Plugin?
I was using latest PowerLevel plugin by ScaryBear but it has lots of memory allocation/deallocation problems. Then I switched to simple 15Kb "TodaysInfo" plugin by Lou Terrailloune (v1.7) and it is quite stable but it has significant rendering delays when rotating screen. So, what is the most stable/fastest one to show battery/memory levels and perhaps it can inform you when your battery charge completed (aka PowerLevel/AudioInformer)?
Thanx!!!
Sounds good - any chance of a link?
Guys,
Please look here onwards to find out what VJSihaya is about, and why the hell I haven't finished VJOkButt yet.
This is not released, not finished, not even entirely contemplated yet. But, have a look and tell me what you think. No testers required for now...

cool stuff. if only I had a vga
Ady, it works on QVGA, VGA, WM2003 and WM5. There's less point using it on QVGA, but it works. Useful to keep contacts open while you're dialing on the phone etc.
V
Amazing VJ,
What does it look in QVGA landscape, cause it seems very promising to me. & now back to fix VJOkButt pls ;-)
Cheers, M
oltp - at QVGA, it looks like the screenshot but 1/4 the size It's obviously less useful, but you can see the skins more clearly.
I've promised I'm not working on anything new for a while now. I'm going back and rebuilding my old apps this weekend so I can move on with this one. So VJOKButt will finally be OK. I hope
V
VJ,
For me there's no hurry to get a new VJOkButt, I bypassed the phone prob & the red button has it's default behavior. I now QuarterVGA is small, on a magician VGA is really pointless. But landscape may be worth trying.
Regards, M
Damn VJ
That is looking smooth.
I'm waiting impatiently 4 a full release...
But now ya have a lot of VJ progs isnt it possibly
2 put them all 2gether in 1 piece? easy and effective?
VJ Operating System or sumthang? :idea:
VJ2005 has been suggested, but as ever, it's too obvious a name for me. Will have to think of something obscure!
I was just thinking - VJSihaya is going to use some low level code to implement windowing. In this way, it might be possible, and this is a big >might<, to grab notifications and show them in an alternative fashion. No promises, but we could then have MSN style sliding popups to show new appointments, incoming calls etc. But I won't try to build up expectations, just directions I'm thinking in.
V
Keeeep on thinking mate, keeeep on thinking mate.
You will bring us lots of nice apps.
oltp: one of my testers has posted some screenshots for QVGA.
It's not very clear, but will give you an idea:
V
V: that looks very promising & at least worth a try. Are you multi-threaded/multi-core, so you can develop your projects parallel?
Man you must be busy with all these developments.
M
Am I multi-threaded? Put it this way - about as well as most Microsoft products are . I have the occassional BSOD, and when travelling on the Tube in London, will occassionally hang, dribbling saliva onto the next passenger. Not a pretty sight, but a good way to get seats...
Seriously: many apps happening at the same time, some overlapping which is useful, some confusing which is frustrating, and many you guys haven't seen, and many I haven't fully envisaged yet.
I have a cool idea for entering new appointments. On the Smartphones I could do it with about three clicks. With Wm2003 and Wm5, I still need a stylus. Am working on an app for that.
And just this lunch time, I thought of a name for another app that I'm writing: VJGreyGoo. It's a long story!

This is VGA resized to QVGA.....
Yes, but he's running it without the VGA hack, so it's >almost< QVGA. VGA is such a tempremental hack, I don't want to risk going back to QVGA. I'll try to get some shots from my magician if I can.

Wow, what a great idea. it looks beautiful. VJ you have to hide for Windows CE seekers. Great. When will it released? Come on: One Test version...
Hello VJ,
I like the theme/backgriund on these images.
Can you share it, our give a link where to get it?

I was waiting so long for your app

GREAT GAME for 0.01 Alpha
Wow, looks nice on Tytn I
Will in future come a VGA version?
nice work!
bye
It should work on VGA (with upscaling). I might do a VGA version later on (not for the buttons though) as it's all vectorial anyways. But I'd rather concentrate on a base portrait QVGA version for now, sorry :/
FANTASTIC.....
Nice job Mollusk...
You'll receive my donation very soon...

Thanks for this! Gonna work out what to do now...
Just got one problem... If you delete the base (red) bar, you can't replace it... So everything starts falling off the screen. I know you can just restart, but I think the option to make boxes or objects similar to the red one would be beneficial.
Edit: just found out you can so now I look like an idiot
omg very nice! Thanks

You can... you change the icon in the bottom right area of the icons on the left hand side of the screen to toggle whether the objects are fixed (like the red bar at the start) or if they move.

(ignore the arrow - look at the circled icon (its actually squared but you know what i mean)). You click the circled icon to toggle fixed objects/moving objects.
Just worked that out but thanks!
Two ideas:
1) Be able to draw straight lines
2) when selecting/dragging objects the ability to select multiple objects within a rectangle or something similar...
Brilliant! Donation on the way.
Idea-wise - how about being able to zoom out and user a larger space than 320x240?
Surur
Maybe use the d-pad to move around a larger area?
It's a shame our phones don't have an accellerometer (sp?), to detect the physical orientation of the phone. But a cool feature, and purely cool, not that practical, would be to change orientation of the screen and make all the objects fall to the new center of gravity.
Not sure about how possible this would be... But is there any way to build a bunch of accelerometers into a package, attach that to the back of a device and then somehow link it up to an SD card?
An idea based on the one above would be to have a grab style option to move the whole game area around and rotate it.
EDIT: UNDER DEVELOPEMENT AND WILL BE RELEASED WHEN READY! KEEP AN EYE ON THIS THREAD!!!!
Here's an idea... when you turn your phone off, it locks... when you turn it on, you must roll your thumb/finger to the right around the wheel of the diamond to unlock it...
as you wheel around, the white line around the circle begins to fill from the top, moving rightward around...
sorry for the poor image quality, i just threw it together as a thought.
I hope a developer can throw this together, prolly isn't hard at all and would really be cool for the diamond. Better graphics and glowing line ofcourse.
its simple and utilizes the unique hardware of the diamond, and also the pro.

anyone like?
anyone down to try and create it?
Wish i could, but i have no idea where to start. i'm in the dark here.
to clear up any confusion that may come up, the lights on the wheel itself don't need to light up as you wheel around... only the circle on the screen.
as you would pass a point on the wheel, another section of the ring on the screen would fill in.
Sounds like a good idea. Hope someone have the time to make it.
im sure that 'wheel-2-unlock' is one of the features of the TouchXperience ROM but it would take a long time for this rom to be released i guess.
TouchXperience is a ROM? Not just a cab installation?

sounds good, i hope someone can do it
Ok guys, i got a good man to try and put this together... he's farther along than he thought and will be releasing something when he feels its ready to meet the world!
Sounds like a good idea - I posted something very like it in the AnswerKeys Disabler thread a few weeks ago!
Glad someone has the skills to make it happen!

CapacitiveFingerLock
I am working on such an idea already for a week or so:
CapacitiveFingerLock.
It will have another locking/unlocking mechanism on top of StylusLock, as described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2681112&postcount=62
Because I am now on a business trip in America, I had not much time to work on the program. But I haven proven already that it works. I have to remove some stuff from the proven program, and integrate it with my already existing StylusLock. The goal is that it does NOT cost extra battery power and CPU and is really simple to use.
The reason to add this, is to have it possible to lock and unlock "one handed". The StylusLock approach cannot be done "one handed", e.g. on a bike. Also some people do not like to operate with the StylusLock. The combination with this new CapacitiveFingerLock and existing StylusLock will suit more people. And sometimes people will use the Stylus, so they will get the right behaviour depended on the usage.
Good idea, as I do not use any locks or such applications, but this one sounds nice. Just remember that this app should not conflict with, or somehow overcover and incomming call

Woohoo, I've been asking for such a thing for weeks now. Do you have a working version already?
That would be awesome.
Definitely MUCH MUCH better than SensorLock and all the - no need to mention - rest!
Especially because SensorLock is still buggy as hell!
Hello,
First of all, I hope am posting in the correct location. Anyways, in windows mobile, we receive different tooltips, ex: call summary report from the provider, credit report, and many others, the ones am talking about are the tooltips that appear on the top right corner of the screen.
These tooltips are so annoying since the buttons they carry are totally not finger friendly. After using "Yota Phone" on my HTC Touch Pro, i noticed that they mapped/changed the default tooltips with the title "PHONE" with their own nice finger friendly one.
Is there any program that does such a thing? searched a lot and couldn't find any. If nobody knows a program that does this, can someone tell me what are the commands/code of those functions/events? maybe i would do a small application for that one.
Thank you

This is an awesome idea!!! I too am suffering from sausage fingers syndrome
I'm not exactly sure how this could be done but I there is another application on XDA that changes the way our Context Menus look. He does is via dll injection and my guess is that that is how to do this also.
This would be awesome, I hate those little popups as well!!!! Maybe you could ask francarl (creator of FingerMenu), your idea sounds similar to what he did.

thank you m.schmidler. I was thinking about how to replace standard tooltip. It will be very useful if someone finds which is the Win32 API (if exists) that opens the tooltip!
I would totally use this! Anyone wanna pick this up?
Great to see you guys interested in this idea, but wish someone could actually implement it. If only creators of "Yota Phone" would reply. Since they successfully changed the "Phone" tooltip.
If only they share the knowledge. already posted a question regarding this matter on their thread, but no replies on that so far.
I will look into this as soon as I get some time. I'm working on wFacebook for now but as soon as I release a new version (hopefully by this weekend) i'll do some research and post my findings.
Add me to the list of the intrigued.
while you're at it, could you have a look at the default windows popups as well? you know, the ones with that incredibly tiny and impossible to hit ok thingy in the top right corner? even *with* a stylus it is annoyingly hard to press ok.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/ToolTip_Class.aspx or http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/02/15/373120.aspx do there help any? I am not a programmer! so if they don't help at all!

Thank you very much computerjunkie, wish you finish the wFacebook program and while i test that for you, you'd do everyone a favor with this program idea
Cheers mate
i hope this will change from within the OS itself in the coming WM 6.5 or at least WM 7. microsoft should hire you, francarl, or buy your FingerMenu code

I mean the standard "Are you sure" type of popups, the square ones in the middle of the screen with the impossible to hit tiny square OK 'button'.

Oh, yeah those too are so damn annoying!
If there are things that amaze me in pocket pc they are the following:
1. PPCs are more than 10 years old, and we still have THAT FEW RAM with SUCH SLOW PROCESSOR?
2. A message to Microsoft, WTF are you doing? We here at XDA can create a better OS with MUCH smarter tools and you as an enterprise suck that much in your own OS?
Hope we get a fix / program for the tooltip AND those middle confirmation messages, like the one that appears when you try to shut down the device. Buttons are non user friendly and still needs a stylus. Idiotic menus/tooltips.
Cheers
Any updates?
