Okay,
I have this problem where I am never pleased with anything I do, so I keep trying to improve it and improve it even further. The time has come.
I have been coding the new features for my website (www.touch-innovation.com) and here is the list I have thought of and has users suggest via email:
- Live submit (Submit directly onto the site... instantly. With lots of security though )
- Screenshots on category lists
- Download names instead of random hash.
- Add comments to news sections
- And lots of admin panel updates which you don't need to know about
Another thing is, what do you think of the design. Does it need a re-design? Does it need to be minimilsed or what not?
Help me out come on, throw me some ideas!
<3
dude, this sounds great
all of those features sound like excellent additions. good work on the coding
no, the site looks fine the way it is
Why do you want to change that site it's clear easy to use and looks cool
Because people have complained about the fixed backgrounds on the left and right. I was thinking of making them a bit thinner to make more room for content and shiz.
Thanks for your compliments, so you don't have any other feature requests? And the Live sumbmission idea, would anyone use it?
Thanks again
Anyone with a decent knowledge of php drop me a line. I'm having problems editing filenames on the fly (sounds easier than it is trust me, complex scenario).
The one and only thing I'd like to see changed? Not use javascript when clicking on applications to take you to their detail page. I get annoyed when I can't open it in another tab
It only uses javascript for the onhover effect and to make the whole td a link. If you want to open it in the new tab, just right click on the name (which is a hard link, for people without javacript).
It's been like this since first release, I did it just incase of no javascript

I guess I need more specifics, but a nice little loop with the function rename() should do the trick. I am sure you have looked at some resources, but the php.net site is great, here is rename with tons of good examples, some of which I have used in the past:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php
Hope this helps, FYI the site looks great!

Thanks, rename isn't on the fly though. I'd have to rename it, then let the user download it... wait till the user has downloaded it, and then rename it back. And what hapens if someone else trys to download it in the proccess of this, they'll get a 404 for the file. I'd have to copy to a new location and do it that way. No point, I need on the fly not permanent. Normally I would use the rename function but it's not helpfull in this sutation.
I just need to play with the headers for a while and get them working .
Thanks for your help though
And thanks for the compliments.

hell yeah, I know that feeling...I´m never pleased with my designs as well
And no, it doesnt need a major refresh yet but try to make the background a bit lighter so the whole site gets a bit more contrast. Just lighten up the background by 10-20% or so and show us what it would look like
And tell me if I´m wrong...but "Touch friendly programs for the windows mobile" sounds extremly strange, what about leaving the "the" out ?

Martin

I didn't understand what you needed, and I think now I do, you want to change the name as someone is downloading a file correct? If so, check this sample out, modify the header section as needed, ie this line:
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
you could do any type of processing on the name you need, then just pass the string like above. Here is the link to the rest:
http://apptools.com/phptools/force-download.php
Hope this helps
m.schmidler:
Thanks, I'll try that now. And the "The" bit... Well it makes it sound like it's the only decent phone - aka unlike iphone . Its pronounced th-eee not th-u. So it sounds slightly different.
Get what I mean?
mjg7876:
I've been looking into the disposition header for a while, but the way I currrently download files is quite simple but to interlock these 2 things togeather is complex. Especially considering I will need to do checking, exploding (for the file extension) and redirecting if it's not hosted on the server. I make things too complicated lol.
Thanks for your help guys btw
Anyone else?
Is it me or does the logo from this site in this post look very similar to yours?

Great Site
I love your Site. In my opinion : it doesn't need any re-design.
But i do have one suggestion : it would great to have your tables with worting features.... One could just click on the title of one column and it would be sorted.... Understand what i mean ?
Thank for your work.
Thanks for your kind words
And btw, you can already sort them (programs list only atm). Simply click on the title, download, views, etc. and it will resort.
Try it
BTW: That logo looks like a skeleton version of mine :/. There's everthing thats on mine, just minimilised! What's going on? :/
ATM work is up to my eyes, so I've had to slow down on the development. It's not something I can rush due to security.
Any more suggestions I will be more than greatful

Alright so everyone can prob agree... We have all these sweet ass phones that we mod ourselves to give it our own touch. Well don't you hate it when people go to see your phone and they're all like, "Hey let me see that, it looks sweet!!" blah blah blah... then they go and look in your text messages. Kinda annoying when I let someone play with my device and they try to get into my personal business.
Well basically what I am asking with all the talent out there... Is there a simple program that someone(s) would be willing to try to create that makes our SMS passcoded. Basically anytime you want to go into your messaging folder that includes your inbox, sent, outbox, drafts... that they need to enter in a simple 4 digit passcode. I bet I'm not the only one that would like this program....
Thanks in advance!
i would love to have something like this...not just for sms but for all programs. i remember my first cheap phone (motorola) they have this feature to block/allow apps and be passcoded. it would be great to have something like this....just a question as if its a popular request i guess....
great idea!
i love this motorola function, i'll love to see an application to do this on our phone.

http://imate-smartphone.handster.com/product.php?id=521
It's okay, but as I said in another thread it can be a little *clunky* to use. And I know I paid WAY TOO much for something that should eb relatively simple.
yea...ive been wanting a program like that for a whileee!! i know somebody out there can develop a nice simple program that ask for a password for certain app...

Been trying this out for a while today... works pretty good... Just kinda plain and boring looking though. So if anyone is still up to the challenge to make something very similar but maybe a little more modern looking.
Hey all,
I agree with the fact that this type of software could be in high demand. I am not a developer myself, but I did design a Wisbar theme called VistaMobile, so I would definitely be willing to skin the program if someone could do the coding. I really love this whole PPC scene (started with an MPx200 Smartphone about 3 years ago, now using an HTC Uni), and I really want to give back and be a part of something more than the VistaMobile theme I had created.
I should also be able to host the file with a dedicated page on my protogenLabs site, if any developers are out there and wishing to team up.
That might just be wishful thinking, but regardless, it would be great have a stylish version of this type of program. More and more people in North America are finally getting used to Windows Mobile being somewhat mainstream, so I think it's a good market ready to flourish!
Sorry if I went on a bit of a tangent, but I'm all for a program that would do this sort of thing.
PM or contact me from my protogenLabs page if you are a dev interested in partnering up with a designer for ANY projects really...
Thanks!

it's called Ez Secret SMS and works great but on VGA devices the password keypad is unusable
We need a simple software to ask for a password when entering messaging. That's it, no funky lists and fluffy software. May the Force(of developers) be with us
glad to see everyone agrees with me, its nice to think that this is something that everyone would enjoy as much as me. So developers check this out! If your a developer or someone that think you might be able to take this on... leave some feedback on here instead of just reading then leaving... again thanks everyone, we'll be waiting!
yea i need something like dat badly!!!

You should try reading the rules
11. Don't get us all in trouble
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does in no way mean we agree with everything Hollywood, the record companies and the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here since otherwise we'll end up dealing with your legal hassle. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.

i don't think so... i think a simple password prompt for accessing SMS/Email messages would be cool.. problem is, all the software currently out there is bloat and full of extra stuff that most of us don't need.
this can probably be done with mortscript but again, it requires additional installed programs..
i'm still looking around, but there isn't much in terms of what we're looking for.
now if we could only get some interested coders in this thread to whip something up
eye on privacy is a good one... theres alot of other stuff like a "safe sms" inbox that stores txts you don't want other people to see when you enter a 2ndary password. It can also lock dialing functions, call history, contacts, calender, tasks, and notes.
Then it gets into some really paranoid features that no one will ever use unless you're 007.
The pin screen that comes up when you go to your inbox is very finger friendly but the one that comes up when you go to the program to set the password and change settings is not.
Hi all!
About a year ago I'd created this Flash application at the request of a few colleagues around the office. Couple weeks back I stumbled across the source files on my home PC and thought it'd be a funny idea to tweak it into a Pocket PC friendly app that anyone could use on-the-go to create some funny office-speak.
The current version supports two "modes". One to create random or custom-crafted phrases, the other to randomly generate full sentences of corporate jargon with a rolling history that you can peruse. The phrase mode allows you to randomly swap out verbs, adjectives and nouns independently.. or to specify a custom noun of your choice.
The app uses an XML file as a word database, so you can easily add or change the pre-supplied words and phrases!
I do plan to add a few more features to it in the near future, as well as make the interface slightly more finger-friendly. It works pretty well now but the performance could use some tweaking (animations get a little choppy at times).
So, hopefully some of you can have some fun with this. Its been a riot around my office so far and a few of the guys have put it on their phones to fool around with in meetings
Install is easy, open the zip file, copy folder to device, run SWF file. Flash Lite 2.1 is the only requirement. It should support all standard resolution configurations (elements should reposition themselves based on screen size/orientation) as well as both touch and non-touch screen devices.
If anyone has any issues running it, please let me know and I will try to fix it
Oh yeah, you can run this in a regular Flash player on your desktop as well in case anyone wants to fire it up there instead.
This, sir, is going straight to my device. thanks for the great app.
I love it! Great work
Thanks guys Much appreciated!
Haha... this is cool. Downloading now....
My friend, I just tried this and it rocks! I can't wait for the next staff meeting! I'll be getting a nice raise very soon...Thanks!

Attention:
The Release is Here
I do alot of skinning but finally decided to jump in and try and actually create my own program, and i need a little help
Some of you may be familiar with trinket softwares "fake call." If not you can do a quick read up with this link.....
http://www.trinketsoftware.com/FakeCall/
I am in the middle of developing something similar but a freeware version (if you didn't know the software isn't freeware any longer) I had put a very basic but working program together in basic4ppc, i then found out i had to buy the software to compile the program. Since i already own visual studio 2008 i decided i would go ahead and try to rewrite my program in vs.
I have completed my design, but i need help with the code....
i need a help with-
"sound" - i obviously need to be able to play sound, i have looked in ms help in vs and they provide some keywords but i am getting errors when i debug.....
-how to load images from an xml file- (in need code for the call)
These will all get me rolling and allow me to release a beta......
I'm getting closer and closer
Because everyone has a different dialer or "incoming call screen," i have decided the best way to go about your fake call is to allow people to select a screen shot and a sound of their choice, creating a very customized realistic experience for every phone (as it would look just like the dialer on your phone) without having to input an obsessive amount of information. (caller name, picture, ect..)
thanks for your help in advanced
THANKS TO-
MRABIE
Attention:
The Release is Here
Wow, this is great. Ya, since fake call is no longer free this is a very amazing idea. I know a lot of people here will help you. We just have to wait. =)
Great idea, I downloaded that app a while ago when it was posted and was rather disappointed to find out it was fake freeware. A couple of suggestions, the aforementioned app would use the default ringer. The suggestion seems pretty simple from a logistics point of view but may be more difficult to program than I would imagine, when selecting a person with a ringer other than default associated use that one. Maybe have a call timer that will stay up and count until the end button is tapped. Hope this helps.
I didn't realize that the other software had gone commercial. Thanks for stepping up!!
bump............
What programming language are you using, considering Visual Studio supports several.
In vb.net your Wait method could be replaced by Sleep(milliseconds). Documentation. I am not sure, however, it this method is included in the compact framework, assuming that's the one you are using. Hope this helps somehow.
Full .Net documentation can be found here.
I am using .net but may consider rewriting again later after getting a release to rid the program of dependacy on the .net framework.
I Have updated the list, as i have gotten some stuff already figured out thanks to different people on the forums, THANK YOU
If you guys can help me out with this other stuff it would be greatly appreciated

thanks for posting.
just as a reference, there's something called DOWNCALL which is free and simple.
edit: my bad, this calls someone at a scheduled time.. doesn't fake a call.
this is nice of trinket but will only last until the 24, and is really only supposed to be for our webpage.
UPDATE:
i'm working on xml now
still need help with sound

Heres an app I use called PhoneyCall
http://www.aimproductions.be/titleview_comingsoon.php?title=PhoneyCall
I'm on a mission! These are the things that I want to change on my x1. If you know of a way to fix any of these then please please please let me know how.
Here they are in no particular order
1) Auto Que text messages
By this I mean.... if I try to send a text message with no signal I get a big nasty red message saying something along the lines of Message Was Not Sent. Try again? and a loud annoying beep to follow
What I want...... Is to be able to hit send, jam the phone back in my pocket and get back to what I was doing. Happy in the knowledge that if I didn't have signal when I sent the message, it will automatically re-send as soon as I walk into signal.
2) Find a free way of making video calls (I can only get skype to make voice calls)
3) Skin the text messages or find a text message panel to make it easier to use and less ugly
4) Add a storage card shortcut to my start menu
5) Stretch the landscape pin entry to full screen
6) Get the OK button to actually cancel and close things
PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I can hit the x button then select "close" or "close all"
7) Stretch the landscape keyboard to the full length of the screen
PROBLEM SOLVED With Finger Keyboard 2 the keyboard is stretched across the full length of the landscape screen. Plus I no longer have to sharpen my thumb nail to a point to be able to send a text message
8) Totally Remove today screen lines (not just change the color)
9) Play Game Boy Advance Roms in full screen landscape mode
10) Remove "today" and recent programs icons from the start menu.
11) Stretch the top right cross button
I have installed gtrabs SEX1 "F" series Task bar icons and I love them. id also like to stretch the x at the top right of my screen to twice its width. To make it easier to press.
PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I have skinned the x button its not allot bigger but it dose make it easier to press.
12) Make it easier to change tracks whilst driving
I have a sat nav style phone holder that sticks my x1 to my car windscreen in landscape mode, with the buttons out. I connect my x1 to my car stereo and pump out the tunes via my car speakers. But with the media experience panel its so hard to change tracks without looking, the button is so small its dangerous
PROBLEM SOLVED The driving panel is more than what I was looking for it has mph, track shuffle, sat nav button, and perfectly sized volume, track skip, and pause buttons, Xuanlong got it to me 10 days before it was released!
13) Stop the experience panel changing color I want it to stay ocean blue

(Pre Release) On The Road Panel
(Pobierz = Download) right click, save target as. some people have problems downloading I managed to get it to work on Internet Explore. Other new panels here but are reported to be a bit buggy.
On the Road Panel looks great, but the navigation button/config does not work
Where can I get my TT maped to the button?
now, that's just lame... this problem fixed by someone @ sonyericssonx1.proboards.com... it sort of sounds like:
'the xda community has once again proven to be unfriendly and unhelpful but thanks god someone at proboards helped me out there, so why don't you guys and gals all come along and let's help ourselves by posting links to stuff that's on xda'
come on dude, you could have just read through topics on this forum to see what's out there that might be useful or used the search option, most of the issues you had and wanted resolved were quick hits
To make the reply box larger in messaging you can use Total Commander to search for and edit the file thread_sms.htm in the windows directory. It's a hidden file so make sure you have 'show all files' checked when you search for it
Look for this line:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell focus count .. .. ..
Change height (in this case 35) to 70 and you get 3 lines for text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you and soft reset after editing the file...
Still an ugly interface but much easier to use. Mine is set at 140.
Sorry, but I had to post this. I saw the other shameless plug for your site on another thread as well and didn't bother to comment. I hate people who say "this looks like an ad" and "you should use search"... but this looks like an ad and you should use search.
I personally don't really care if you want to share your website with others, my only issue is that you should give credit where credit is due.
Might want to change your post to read "problem solved thanks to X @sonyericssonx1.proboards.com WITH solutions that could have easily been solved by using the search function from XDA developers" since most of those tools came from here anyway (apart from the driving panel. wktask is a japanese program, but it was adapted into english on these boards).
But to be honest, if you cant use the search function here, it's probably best to post elsewhere anyways.
PS most of your other points can be found here as well. Just use search.

Classic QFT.
Like I said before, I have no problem with you and your board, but don't rub it in our faces every chance you get.
Again, most of these questions can be answered fairly easily using XDA search.
As I imagine it can be hard to do the storage card shortcut, I'll give you a hint on it. On your phone, navigate to \windows\start menu. There you'll find a whole lot of shortcuts. Copy and rename the extension one of them to .txt and open it. You'll see a nice and comprehensable path there. Adjust it, save and rename back to .lnk. You're all set!
For the shortcut problem (storage card): why don't you try the easiest way "copy"->"paste as shortcut" in File Explorer. That's the most standard way to create shortcut.

Damn you dudes are harsh. He has an awesome site. It's like XDA-dedicated to the X1. Give him a break?? He doesn't get paid for anything, and spends alot of time on that site; only to contribute to the X1 family.
And the comments of [email protected], come on?? No one here knows who some1 is if he just like posts 'xuanlong' or so, but he refers to one of the members of his site. I can tell you now that you wont find all of the contributors and be able to pm them if he just gives their nicknames?
Place yourself in his position before posting your 'comments'.

very very debatable... um, actually, very not true
Jeese, some of you guys are like spoilt little kids,
All this guy has done is to take some of his time to make a site dedicated to the X1 and simply gives you links to other websites that have some cool programs on them. It is actually very useful for people who dont have the time to go searching through all of the XDA site.
XDA is a good site but can be difficult to find things relating to the X1 specifically through the search when you only have 5 mins.
You guys are just slating someones hard work for no reason, if you dont like it then don't go to it and dont comment on it.

Ah wow dude, thanx. Someone actually understands and realises this dude's work. It's so much simpler to get around on his site.
I admit, nothing will beat XDA, but this site is dedicated to the X1, much more userfriendly and easier to find things.
All we need is more members and contributions, and that site might become the number 1 Xperia site.
Just take a look at his site. If you don't like it, your loss. And keep your comments for yourself. If you do like it, help out a bit!
Thanx for the GREAT site W I N D L E. Don't give up

As for you other lads who feel like being windle's knight in shining armor, you're behaving just as bad by "bashing" those who oppose his website. Not everyone has to like it, but they have just as much right to post they don't as windle has right to post about it in the first place. Basically, I'm pulling a "right back at ya" here - if you don't like their posts, ignore them!
Besides, he's still advertising his own site, with links to this site, on this site! Doesn't that strike you the least bit as odd?

Resco Contacts. It'll reskin the dialer, the call registry, your contacts and messaging.
PointUI Pro (unreleased).
Touch-IT v4.5 - The new Touchflo pretty much covers over the Winmo interface entirely.
There the ones i've used, others might have other solutions. Touch-IT is the best, but of dubious legality. PointUI will be great eventually, but it's still in early stages. Resco is OK, needs work but it's perfectly useable and better than the standard Windows Mobile stuff.

now, that's just lame... this problem fixed by someone @ sonyericssonx1.proboards.com... it sort of sounds like:
'the xda community has once again proven to be unfriendly and unhelpful but thanks god someone at proboards helped me out there, so why don't you guys and gals all come along and let's help ourselves by posting links to stuff that's on xda'

Gee, how could anyone find XDA unfriendly and unhelpful? I wonder... do you think... it could be posts like that?
Again, I love XDA, it's got good stuff, but all too often, on receives replies that are not friendly or helpful. My opinion is, if you dont have something worth while to contribute, dont bother replying, if it's just to tell them to search, or complain, etc.
And there's nothing wrong with giving a little credit where credit is due. I've seen plenty of links on other sites and blogs, crediting users at XDA in a similar manner.
Since you've already acknowledged some of XDA's perceived flaws, perhaps we could try to improve that image, rather than just taking shots at another site?

come on dude, you could have just read through topics on this forum to see what's out there that might be useful or used the search option, most of the issues you had and wanted resolved were quick hits

If somebody from xperiax1.net had helped me I would have put problem was solved by jimbobjoeorrob @ xperiax1.net and somebody had helped me on xda ect. just giving the credit to those that took the time to help me out rather than ***** about my posts.
I know I didn't invent the wheel or anything but I always wanted a way to send the .cab files I find here straight to my phone and couldn't find a way so I created the site: http://sendtophone.info
basically it gives you a badge for people to click, it sends the link to the cab to their phone over txt. I also made a firefox extension so you can click on any link anywhere and send it to your phone. full details are on the site including a code generator for the lazy among us.
Just thought I'd give back a little, you guys are welcome to use it. You have given me countless awesome apps and top notch advice.
Example:
i wont be eager to use this or give my phone no/details online but maybe others might find this useful!
I just download the file and email it to my phone. Why get another party involved?
i guess it's another way to be able to dl from your phone, but if i'm on a computer, i just send an IM with the link to my mobile aim name, which sends a text to my phone.
edit: actually, how does this work? do you get charged for sending the text from you site? and i'm assuming you can send any links...
i think he's using some sorta script from their website (ie.att.com)
I wish this site supported Rogers....wink wink...nudge nudge
but for now i use msn ...which stopped recently...gotta get that working again....
Nice idea have added it here : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/07/13/send-to-phone-a-site-to-send-links-to-your-ppc-via-sms.html
Glad some find it useful. Just to let you know we do not store ANY info. we have no logs, no database, nothing. the only info that COULD be saved is your phone number & carrier can be saved in a cookie on YOUR computer. hope that makes people feel better. I wrote the script with privacy in mind for people like xda users.
If your carrier isn't listed go to our about page to send us a message.
RE:
Bundo: I also downloaded and emailed, but its 2009! "they" should have this worked out by now. and most importantly I'm lazy and impatient.
downloading, watching emails send, waiting to receive, downloading again all suck. I love it every time I use it.
Too much security !!
I like this a lot, but find it a slow drag to have to type the two words! Since you can select to create a cookie, can you skip the security if cookies is checked?
By no means an expert, so this may be a dumb question.
well with bots the way they are no, i can't remove the captcha. maybe if I think of some other way. but no promises

Now that I think about it a little more . . . . I'm on board.
glad to hear it!
tell me by rogers do u mean rogers wireless in canada?
I'm pretty proficient in php. Does this just send an email to [email protected] (ex [email protected])?
So you only send the link... not the actual file?
Pretty cool stuff. If it is php it doesn't need much to run so it should be pretty safe. I'm just wondering if it comes across as a message or an email. Would be cool to just send the whole file, but it would be a lot more complicated and require uploading files (which can get bad).
yeah its just simple php. it sends the link as a txt message. i wish i could send the actualfile! it works pretty well, i use the firefox addon i made so it works on every link everywhere
Looks like a good plan any chance of adding support for O2-UK? Or is it stuck to US networks?

it would work on any carrier that allows [email protected] message conversions. He just has to know the ending so he can add it to the drop down box.

Well, what if the file is later pulled from the internet, or you can't find it again? If you first download it to your computer, then you have a permanent backup in case of phone failure or loss, as well as an easy way to send it to friends.
very cool ...good job!
Incredibly useful....See what searching does?
