SMS Fun Tool

Hi everybody. When I write SMS with my girlfriend I sometimes mess with the text. For example I write the text down on a paper and writh it backwards like:
Hi sweetheart. I just wanted to say that I stay here one more day. I love you --->
ouy evol I. yad erom eno ereh yats I taht yas ot detnaw tsuj I. traehteews ih.
So that she has to read it from the end.
Unfortunatly I am not a programmer. Could anybody write a tool that can mirro an sms text please. Then it would be easier. No need of paper anylonger.
And if anybody else has more funny ideas it could end up in a fun sms tool.
Thanks alot.
Greets Alex

oh yeah great fun. I suggest you ask your girlfriend to look at the phone facing a mirror and read the text from the mirror image. Just joking no offince There are serious issues which need to be resolved with XDA2 SMS before we can make fun out of it.

Kufi, have you really thinked on what you said ? did you try the mirror ? was the same effect ?
Alex, if i have some time, i'll write a simple app to do it in the next days and post it here
regards

Hey Hbatista! Sounds great!
Thank you very much!
@ kufi if you turn your display off you get a mirror
Alex

loooool guys, you are wonderful! I tried the mirror but what I saw was the ugly me..

here's your tool with source code
Glad that good humour still persists!
Here's your app. I'm including source code and a ARM cab to do the installation. You should copy the cab and dat file to your device and proceed to installation.
Hope it helps
regards!

talking about good humor..
I included in the about box a small credit to Kuffi!

Hi hbatista! Thank you very much for your cool tool.
A copy function would be cool though. Because then I could copy any text into a sms or mms using the normal tools which also stire the send messages.
And... Nice Mirror Pic Man!!
Thanks.
Alex

right away!
no problem!
here's the new version with a copy/paste menu!

Thanks Man.
Really nice one.
Alex
Now I get an error:
MirrorSms.exe
MissingMethodException
Application::Run+0xf
frmSendMirrorSms:Main+0xa
Is anything else exept the files you attached needed to run it properly?
Alex

sorry!
yep.. I only tested it on emulator, and I don't know why the opennetcf is not being correctly installed...
this new version is working...

Now another funny thing. Does anybody remeber these secred languages form childhood? We were about 5 children and we had such a language training it for weeks. At the end we were really fluent and nobody could understand us. My sister and I still use this language for fun every now and then.
Now we could transfair this to SMS.
For example: Iluvi aluvam coluvomiluving laluvateluver.
which means: I a m co mi ng la te r
I am coming later.
The rule is: After each vowel you put luv and then repeat the vowel if there are more vowels in a row like ea you take all of them and put luv there like ealuvea.
Do you like my suggestion?
Any other ideas?
Alex

lol
well, and what about random ? :lol:
the source code is there, so any other posters can change it. now i have to come back to my vehicle tracking system

Thanks anyway.
Very nice tool

phonenumber?
Do you need to type the phone number in by hand? I don't know any phonenumber nowadays ...
Copy/paste doesn't seem to work in that field

contacts integration only available at commercial release
(read this post title) :lol:
I'm just kidding.
Well, integration with contacts will be a little more difficult. There is no library to do it in the language i used.
Even the clipboard integration was more difficult than sending the sms (can u imagine ?), because compact framework does not support CE clipboard.
I'm not fluent in eC++, but maybe other posters can do it...
Although, if i have some time i will do it...

Hello hbatista,
I'm trying to find a simple programming language to program small nice functions for my Qtec. can you suggest an affordable language ?
thanks

See OpenNetCF
Hi Abalgir
Right now, the best choice would be eC++ (embedded visual c), but for someone initiating, it could be complicated. You can also choose embedded visual basic (eVB).
Although, Microsoft operating systems are migrating to "Managed code" and .net technologies. This means that you should start thinking on using .net to program the devices. In .net you can choose your favorite language, like c# or vb.net, but i prefer c#.
With .net compact framework, you can do a lot of things, but some core fiunctionalities are still not available, but you can use something like OpenNetCF (see www.opennetcf.org) to do core things like sendsms, etc
hope it helps

I would be happy to modify your script to work in the US. Might be little more difficult due to the number of cable/sat providers, but shouldnt be that big of a deal. Let me know what you need me to do

do you work with xmltv?
I think this would make it easier to get a generic result that can be addapted easily to every country...
I'm using TVGuide which is working very well (with xmltv downloaded by PC application jXMLTV). But I miss the possibility to download the xmltv using ppc only.

can you make an english versio of http://inform.ovh.org? I think this will help alot to get other people involved...

I'm tested this program for many days. Works great

Want to start developing

Hi guys, I want to start developing for PPC, I do quite a bit of programming at work with a language similar to C++, but I'm still an amateur.
What I want to do is create some apps, probably using the GSensor, can anyone point me in the right direction??

nice idea !!!!

check the Wiki section of the XDA website

[Q] Another wp7 total noob, ex simbyan user !

Hi all! Like I've said it in the title, I'm a total noob on wp7 area! So I have a few questions for you! I've recently bought an OPTIMUS 7, found a gps app after a big research (nokia drive) but I can't find any way to port a java app to my device, since the manufacturer didn't put java on Optimus ROM. My question is: is there any way to port .jar apps to this device?
Thanx all and very much apeciated your hard work for those like me!

hi, and congrats on your new phone. as i can see, if you are able to load nokia drive, you have already unlocked your phone! unfortunately, as far as i know, there is no way for the moment to run .jar app on wp7. you could try to check the wp7 development forum to see if there are any project working on the specific app you are looking for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=607
hope it can help, and enjoy your new phone!

thanx for your answer and for congrats. I do hope that wp7 develops more and that we can have acces on system folders like symbian platform. I totally love this phone and it's my dream to make with it things that symbian allows his users to do.

you know, there a hack or an app here, on XDA to create folders, not officially but ofc it does the work. A quick search will help you.

I know, thx for the tip. Already used it, unlocked my device by reg modification, used (a lot) Tom Installer, I'm waiting for touch experience to be released and try it, or another coocked rom witch will give me full acces to my phone. I'm looking also for a taskman wich can give me the oportunity to close running apps, not just see them and after that use the BACK Arrow until i'm back on home screen. Maybe microsoft will give us the chance to use our phones not just download what they want and and in rest to stare at it.
