pocket sports center - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I am having trouble getting this app to work with [email protected] I am using OMJ's latest ROM and i have the ap set to not use the today plug-in, which should flash the scores on top of the clock. It works somewhat but the scores come up all garbled. Anyone got it working with touchflo 2d?

nope. I also can't get it to show on the today screen; instead it shows up all garbled across the top on s2u2 and manilla2d

Try this. Replace the original with this file. I guess when they made the script it was for a Palm device, and writes to your carrier name string in the registry. I just REMed out that part.
Also it writes to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\RIL\CarrierName" which is not your carrier name but just some other random entry. So with that being said, if you have an app that reads a registry key, you can change it to read this one and have your sports scores display elsewhere.

I had version 1.6 and it seems to worked in the today plugin, version 1.8 doesn't. I've started to looked at the scripts anyone else want to resurrect this?

I think there were some problems with using the carrier line, which is why it was released with the plugin.
This is a great little plugin, also he has Pocket StocksCenter.

I seem to have an issue. Where can I get the latest? What is the latest?

Here is 1.8. The file in the 3rd post worked for me. I don't remember, but I think if you ran the script at least once before replacing the csports.mscr file, you're going to have to go into the regestry and clean out the crap the file put in there so you can get your carrier name back. (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name)
I've attached a XIAMultiTheme theme as an example. It is just a black bar with the date and the registry entry so you can have it on your home screen without running the plugin.

how do I get it to only write to the plugin on the today screen, not where the top bar is? That is, can you point out to me what you changed in the script? Looks like I need to do the same for pocket stockcenter. Thanks!

You can make that change within the settings. Launch the app and make all the changes from there.
At least that's how it works for me.

If your just using a standard today screen, just enable the plugin in the Pocket SportsCenter options. If your using manila today screen, you can't add plugins to it. So only option is to use the carrier line. When I used Homescreen ++, I added the plugin to there but Pocket SportsCenter didn't recognize it as enabled. So I edited the mscr so that it would "think" of it as enabled without checking the registry to see.
So it really depends on what your using as a today screen.

I just disabled the manila and enabled the sports plugin to make sure. Here's what I did. I enabled the plugin in Today/Settings. This put it on the today screen. Next I clicked on the plugin and launched sportscenter. Went into setup options and enabled the plugin in sportscenter options as well. Set my sports to that I wanted(ncaa and nfl), exited sportscenter. Then clicked on plugin again and activated auto updates. Updates show in plugin.
Hope that helps.

this still won't work for me, I've replaced the Csports.mscr, but still can't get it on the carrier line.

If you install the cab it has the original Csports.mscr file that writes to both registry entries (carrier and the other). If you want your stats to be in the carrier you're all good after you install it. If you use ANY other app that reads your carrier name your screwed. S2U2 or IContact for instance do and your top bar will be displaying your sports scores and looks like crap. This is why I REMed that out in the 3rd post so it doesn't screw up your carrier. I would recommend replacing .mscr, but up to you.
I wouldn't recommend using it with Manila2d as it looks like the registry entries are hard coded within the manila2d.exe file. It would work, but again all other apps that look at carrier name are going to look messed up.

Did you replace the .mscr file? If you did it fixes the carrier name issue. If you want it in the carrier name just reinstall the cab file.

i really like this app, if this can be pkg'd in a nice interface (especially to indicate that it is retreiving data) it could be a real hit.

Exactly.

I love this app so far. But along with your request I'd like to be able to soft reset and NOT have it immediately try to down load info. That kinda slows up my device for a while.

the autoupdate feature in PSC conflicts BADLY with manila 2D, you will start seeing stuff all over the interface... replacing the carrier name, caller IDs, in addition to slowing down that machine.

Firt to reply :?: :?: :?:
i'm trying that, seems great application, THX :wink:
Is there a web page for it? I may wanted to try it out. PocketBreeze is a bit slow on my already slowed Charmer. However, I tried a lot of other plugins and PBzz is currently the best on for the price of $10.
One of the thing I like about PBzz is the integration of the Tasks and Appointments on the same screen, and birthdays too. Further, I found the others annoying is the fact that they named tomorrow just like any other date, which may undermined the importance of that particular task tomorrow. Hence, everytime I was looking at my Today screen, I have to particularly check todays date to ensure that if the next task/app on the screen is tomorrow or not.
Do a check
can any body from the ones installed this app tells me if it enables me to set the saturday as the first day of the week or no.
Handy little app meschle! Thanks for posting it.
And, gwassef, no.

Thats something your end - firewall or antiviral causing that. It downloads fine for me - try downloading on your wizard through internet explorer.
Ok. I've tested it. My comments as mentioned above,
It doesn't show tomorrow as 'Tomorrow' and, it doesn't even show today as 'Today'. Maybe someone would talk to the author and ask him to make those changes, which is, in my opinion a very good improvement.
But other than that, it is a very good today plugin.
@ meschle
Very nice find! at last I may of found a replacement for pocketbreeze Will have a play for the next few days and see......

Copy the cab file over to the device via activesync - place in \my documents on your phone - click on the cab file through file explorer on the device. Install to device not storage card. Do not unzip the file - cab file is a self installing archive.
right all done - is there anyway of tweaking it though so you can alter how many days it shows?

Click and hold on the panel in the today screen - and an option dialog will come up - you can change that through this.

Anyone know a Today Plug in that can do this?

I was wondering if there is a today plug in that will allow me to write or type my own message and show up on my today screen permantly (and allows me to change it through settings)?
Doesnt thebuild in tasks plugin work for you?? Or you want a more "post-it" notes kinda feel??
I just want like one line on my today screen to write whatever I want....for example......like the owner informations with phone number is 2 lines.....I want to disable that and write my own information in one line.....doesn't have to be owner info....just anything I want.....it's kinda hard to explain.....and I want to to be able to use chinese characters to write too.....

tbito, this was exactly what i was thinking of recommending to kiru...and i can confirm that it works with wm2005. i'm using a mio a701 and this is one of my plugins.
Yes, NotesToday is one of my staples. I think it's very useful.
I tweaked the default skin slightly to allow me to minimise it to a dot, (just above the weather plugin)

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and then maximise it to normal:
I didn't end up using it much, but nice idea, well implemented, and well worth the $5.
V
hey vijay, very interesting the way you made it look so small and efficient! mind sharing it? :wink: interesting little application; although i don't use it as much it's good as a quick scratch pad for all occasions...
Someone just emailed me about the skin.
I've found a copy on my ftp - I haven't used the plugin for a while, because I'm still migrating my setup to WM5 and deciding on new plugins.
But hopefully this is the skin shown:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/!tools/notestodayskin/notestoday_skin_new.zip
I modified the skin to take almost no room, but be stylus selectable, but particularly selectable with the dpad. I can't remember if I had to edit the registry, but basically you can switch minimised and maximised mode by scrolling down the today screen with the dpad and clicking enter. It'll shrink/expand accordingly

Hi Vijay,
I Guess this is off topic. But on one of the screenshots your have an extra blue bar underneath the start button. With two arrow vertical up anddown at the start and sms, phone, and bluetooth etc. in it. I also saw some sort of profiles program with the same arrows in a later screenshot. with seems like profiles to me.
Are those programs the same and if yes, which program is it? I'm tried several programs Pocket Zen phone and WM Profiles. But wasn't happy because the vibrate function didn't work properly on my wizard.
Let me know, thanks.
Cheers
Shah
Shah, the blue bar near the top in my 18 August 2005 screenshots is an early version of my PhoneAlarm skin. This was refined into the one you can see in my 5 April 2006 screenshot, at the top of the screen (being used via my VJToggleToday program).
This is used to select profiles (where the normal "Vibrate" icon is at the top of the screen, clicking this brings a drop down menu with my profiles, Work, Home, Silent, FlightMode)
PhoneAlarm is excellent, generally. Profiles are a very basic feature on any phone, and it's mindboggling that it's not a standard feature, but I like PhoneAlarm, and Bruce, the author (you can also see my slightly hacked version of AlarmToday as well in the screenshots).
My 5 April 2006 screenshot also shows claunch at the bottom (apologies for the stupid icons, I lost some icons when I changed phones), being used to change PhoneAlarm profiles with my thumb. So I can make calls/send SMS using VJPhoneTools, change profiles (PhoneAlarm), and launch selected apps all from the same plugin.
V
Vijay, do you not find PhoneAlarm is resource-heavy?
Also, is that skin on your home page? (I've had a look and can't see it)

Hi Guys,
First: THANKS YOU vijay555 for giving me the skin files! (I'll mail you later with my findings, regarding VGA and landscape use)
Second: Does anyone have the other zips that were placed on the NotesToday website? (which is offline now , anyone know why?)

Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
Puzom:
I may have the skins at home. Frankly, it's easy to write your own. The standard skins are nothing exciting!
Webreaper:
My phonealarm skin is towards the end of the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331&highlight=vjtoggletoday
I've used PhoneAlarm for pretty much my whole year on XDA devs, and never found it to be a problem on resources. There are simpler ways of doing what it does, but it's useful, and gives me easy control of profiles etc. Bruce is filling it up with stuff I can't imagine needing, like cell based profiles etc, but I'm happy with the basics - notifications, mail count, profiles etc.
PhoneAlarm or a similar app is essential IMHO for effective use of the phone.
I've had trouble with AlarmToday since upgrading to WM5, but the old WM2003 version was flawless and very useful too.
V
Thanks Vijay. Your skin looks the simplest and neatest I've seen.
I really liked the idea of the cell-based profiles, in particular for things like enabling wifi for when I'm at home, but disabling it when I'm at work. Unfortunately, my house and office are both on the same cell.

From what I can tell, vjToggleToday was never finished. The last version I saw was in alpha form and you need to create a shortcut with a command switch to make it work. I'm using dcinobar to remove the bottom toolbar and it's flawless. Install the cab, soft reset, done.
*edit* I do have the alpha version of vjToggleToday if you want it.

One more thing this will bring up the config option? thanks!
I have created shortcuts for you - in the attached Zip file. Copy the vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe to the Windows folder, vjtoggletodayAutorun.lnk to Windows/StartUp folder (if you want the program to be run at every boot) and copy vjtoggletodayConfig.lnk wherever you see fit.
Edit: I will put it to the folder you chose. You can try if config works on this version. And yes the config works (tested)
Links updated to your location. Hope it will work for you. If you changed the name of the exe (then the lnk will not work), or will change the location of the exe in the future you can edit the link in desktop windows in notepad.

Thanks guys.
VJToggleToday II was not finished as it straddled PPC2003 and WM5.
I've subsequently finished version III as a research app for my use, and version IV will be released, eventually, for you guys.
It's context sensitive, enlarges only the today screen, but the bars are back as they should be in normal use. Works quite nicely. I'm away for a bit, but will be back coding hard soon.

That is a great news vijay. Thanks for your efforts! Anyway there is only one thing that I did not like about the version we are using - it shrinks both top and bottom bar - I do not mind getting rid of bottom bar, but top one conveys much more information, but this is user definable so no big deal.
Current version, VJToggleToday II, has registry settings or a hidden config dialog that can be used to specify what height you want each bar. That way, you can leave the top bar at its default height of 26 pixels, and only shrink the bottom bar. I believe you just launch it from a shortcut, with a command line of -config or config.
Check the main thread for clarification.
Hiding the top bar was only really for my own use, inorder to use it with a special skin I wrote to replace the top bar:

VJToggleToday II was only ever distributed through this site I believe, never on my own websites, as it was still R&D, not final. If anyone's looking for it, look on this site!

*skin preview added* two instances of a today plugin (rltoday) - possible?

hi,
i would like to know is it possible to have two instances of rltoday plugin in the today plugin options? how can i duplicate it?
i would to like to use one rltoday plugin for one tab of ultimate launcher and another rltoday plugin for another tab in ultimate launcher. so that i can put different objects on the different tab.
if not, is there any other today plugin that would allow icon/image (link) to be in any size (very large) and in any position by determining its x and y values
thanks for the help
Have you by any chance asked that on the rltoday forum?
That would indeed be perfect for UL.

You MAY find renaming the dll and then renaming the 'new' today item in the registry in HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/Itemsand then repointing the path to the newly-renamed dll.
I just did this with Effcom's redio toggler to test it. Don't have or use rltoday. Now there are 2 togglers on Today on my hermes and both function. Today items that don't just have the 1 DLL would be more complicated - dunno where rltopay fits into that.
Glad you asked because now I know it can be done. Could be useful.
rltoday does seem to have oly 1 dll.
At least that's what I find in it's installation folder.
However, wouldn't I have to rename it before installing the .cab?
How would I fo that?
trying to come up with something different from the normal small or squared button/icons
this is what i have come up with so far... still not quite done
it doesn't show everything on the screen... but with a swipe of a finger, you can change to a different page view showing different items (thanks to ultimate launcher)
i also removed the top bar and bottom bar, plus replacing the need to press the ok/close (x) button by using center button of the (trackpad?) just like the iphone - one button and your back to the homescreen (in this case the today screen) using AEbutton plus
considering to use something like the vistahide battery gauge to show signal strength
tell me what you think

I was trying to do this a while back and indeed changing the dll name and registry values allowed me to have two instances of rltoday in the today screen. The problem was both rltoday were reading from the same ini file that sets up the skin, so basically I would have two copies of the same skin. If I changed one, so did the other. Unfortunatelly I could get around that at the time.

the question still stand
i would like to know is it possible to have two instances of rltoday plugin in the today plugin options? how can i duplicate it?
i would to like to use one rltoday plugin for one tab of ultimate launcher and another rltoday plugin for another tab in ultimate launcher. so that i can put different objects on the different tab.
if not, is there any other today plugin that would allow icon/image (link) to be in any size (very large) and in any position by determining its x and y values
I think you could achieve the effect you want by using BatteryStatus. It doesn't allow to position images by directly giving their xy coordinates, but instead places them in multiple rows. But you still have the ability to shift images up/down/sideways, so they don't have to be aligned.
As a bonus you'll be able to display signal strength, battery and memory state, and a few more things.
i would like to add the sms,call,mail sticky note to my today screen can you tell me how you did it. thanks

Manilla2d-styled locker and today screen

Manilla2d is really impressive shell of course, but there's no some really needed functions, that we can use in basic today shell. I was really disappointed in absence of two things in it: the first one is interface-styled locker/unlocker and the second one is an ability to use basic today plugins. Of course, we've got another software solutions to fix it, but their's problem is that they don't fit to manilla's interface conception. I've tried to solve this problems, and now i'd like to share my results. Dont kick me pls=))
Eferything posted below was made for using with this theme (with background from this one) with this clock pack. You can repaint it as you wish, consider this all an exampe or an idea=))
1. S2U2. S2U2 imho is the best solution for lock/unlock device. You can find it here. (My version is 0.86) We can use it as is, but iphone-like slider don't looks native to manilla2d. To make it looks more suitable i'd to fully repaint a slider, and this is what i got at the end.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Moving part is an icon of a padlock. When moving it looks strange of course, but the only another variant i got was without unlock animation at all. So this one better)) In archive you can find gfx folder from s2u2 (to install delete your current one, there's nedded some files not to be) and lang.ini file with fixed time format string (HH:mm instead of H:mm). This skin as it is is not suitable fot those who uses slide 2 answer opion, because i didn't paint it))
2. Today plugins. The main trouble of manilla2d as i guess is that there's no a widget to install another today plugins. To solve this problem i needed the following soft:
SecondToday - virtual today-like screen.
HomeScreen PlusPlus - today plugin that allows free positioning of elements,
MortScript - script language for pda.
spacer and spacer2 (attached) - two copies of today plugin what allows to make spacers between another plugins.
So what i've done:
1. Install this all;
2. Make a screenshot of manilla to set it to background of secondToday.
3. Run SecondToday and set spacer as a first plugin. The only way to configure spacers on SecondToday i found is edit the registry. So go to HKCU//software/pocketMax/Spacer and set height of it to 40 (maybe you like another height above your first plugin)
4. Connect in SecondToday below spacer plugins you need to be shown. Set spacer2 below them. Do nothing in tegistry for a while.
5. The most interesting. After the spacer2 set HomeScreenPlusPlus. Pot into its directory two setting sets from archive. The first one is to make setup easier, the second is working one. Open properties of HomeScreenPlusPlus -> advanced and select where sttoday_temp xml.
6. After that you need to change height of spacer2 to put tapzones on the backgoung images like it on the screen. This parameter is in HKCU//software/pocketMax/Spacer2. Don't forget to shut up second today after every try to see changes))
7. Put 5 scripts from archive into /Program Files/MortScript/scripts (or somewhere you want, but change paths in HomeScreenPlusPlus XMLs).
8. Try it. Of corse, sliding won't work, but tapping to zones will open vidget painted on background)))
9. Change sttoday_temp to sttoday it settings of HomeScreenPlusPlus.
10. Put a shortcut of SecondToday to programs widget of manilla.
11. Voila! You got something like below (Remember that you can't slide in this window)
I know it's not the best solution, but i don't want to change functionality to beauty)) This variant is a compromise i think)) In archive you can find S2U2 skin, MortScript scripts, HomeScreen++ themes and two spacers. Good luck in installation=))
ps. sorry my english))
Nice work!
Can you make a VGA version of your S2U2 theme?
another important feature about manilla 2d is NO notifications button or screen..u have to tap the taskbar to see them..
Wow

Jiles.....this is simply sweet!
Now I can have my own plugins on M2..love it
Give me a minute I need to finish configuration and I'll be back. I've a small request. I assigned second today to FtouchSL so i just need to swipe the bottom screen fast to open it. So I would like you to help me change motorscript files to point to specific tabs.
Jiles how can I change motorscripts files to assign the last icon to Programs, next one to Settings then the rest in order to Photos, maps and Internet?
2-Arturo- i'm in suspence about MortScript i'll try of course
2johanromijn thanks! about VGA sorry i'm afraid i have no device to try on.
ADD 2-Arturo- by series of taps only i'm afraid. As i remember, MortScript cannot slide, only tap (command MouseClick(x, y))
Thanks Jiles
Add2 about the swipes I was talking about this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143
I don't know if you heard about it but you can assign any aplication to "swipes" left, right, up, down etc. So I was saying that I assigned secondtoday to right swipe it's much more convenient because I don't have to access "Programs" tab to activate secondtoday. I just need to swipe somwhere on the screen from left to right to activate it. In other words you can open it from main screen of Manilla or from contacts screen etc. Try it out
Oh and thanks again for trying to change the motoscripts files. I appreciate it
Ok it took me a while but this is how my secondtoday looks like
http://img356.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screen001ys1.png
2-Arturo- Hmmm.. I on the contrary try to disable FTouchFlo on the today screen, cause it makes its native slide lagging The best solution would be to place secondToday on not-working manilla widget "operator", but i hardly can guess how to do it
