Please close this thread someone
I like it, good work. I like it especially it is a 3rd party software so that I can keep my Today screen. BTW, whats the diff of yours compared to the one at the other thread?
Anyway, although getting the aye-Phone interface is good for a start, I think it ought to be able to get some artist to make a better looking interface than aye-Phone.
BTW, as suggestion (for feature), I'm just wondering if you can make your app to respond to the D-Pad (the directional button), like those (say) SonyE phone and then display another graphics to show that the button is being selected.
Design case example:
All icons are black-white. Using your directional button, it goes from one icon to another. The selected icon will have colour (depending on design), and pushing the 'action' button will make it launch the app.
Final thing, whats the difference between yours and the one mentioned at the other thread?

The Difference is that the other one was in 12/24 hour format, it has no exit button, its 1Meg in size, it has some memory leaks that people complained about. Im sure mine has issues as well so please test and let me know.
I can possible make it work on the dialpad with different icons when they have focus. I just wanne make sure it wont eat too much memory and become to slow. Im not good with graphics at all so any suggestions will be appreciated
I was thinking of a config module, for easier? configuration.

Good Idea, Ill work on that unless you wanna make it? What do you mean by enabled, should it not show or should it be grayed out?

I can try make it(i hope). Kinda newbie at programing, but i think i can make it work.
should i make it a seperate app and just make it change the config files?
think that would be the easiest, maybe.

Yep write a new app if you want and access the config files it would be the easiest. Im also new at programming. What i know i taught myself so thats why its so difficult to do this. This app took my 8 hours to write and im sure someone else could have done it faster and better. Lemme know if you know how to get the Network operator name and Signal strength and battery level out of the registry. I know where they are stored but cant seem to read data from the registry
try this one: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4640/2/
dunno what you can make out of it, since im learning VB.NET atm and have no clue about C#
found something from a previous app i made for windows, here is some of the code i used, dunno how it's done in C# but im guessing it wouldnt be very different
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey
Dim regSubKey As RegistryKey
RegKey = Registry.LocalMachine
regSubKey = RegKey.CreateSubKey("SOFTWARE\Example")
regSubKey.SetValue("ExampleDwordValue", "0")
i think i would have used
regSubKey.GetValue("ExampleValue")
in VB but you should just try to find it.
hope it helps you in some way.
Lightweight and fast is good. As what you're doing is basically possible with WA + WAD. BTW, as for the settings, you may want to have the (4 x 4) + (1 x 4) icon grid flexible, incase people want to have large icons (less stuff to launch?). An ayeFone alternatives design, take a look here

I was thinking of removing the whole icon if you dont want it
edit: removing as in hiding
Follow Up
I got the signal strengt working as well as reading the operator name from the registry. The only help i need now is to get the battery level from somewhere withing the registry, ill update the zip files on th first post
sounds good with the provider and signal info, will test it right now.
the icons: since i just arrived home, i did not have any new icons yet. but for workaround reasons, i attached a zip-file with the original iphone-icons , and a zip-file with the alternative icons. i numbered them in the original-iphone-order and added an additional rss-icon (for the 16. field).
(i was not really shure why you choose these other icons in the release (where are they from?)), but the original icons worked just fine for me. the alternatives also.
a blurry picture with before-and-after (left->your release right-> the original icons) is also attached.

I was just messing around to see if the autosizing will work, the icons you have look good so ill use them. I still need an .ico file for the actual app. Any Ideas? O i attached a screen capture app you can try so you dont have to take funny pics hehe

roger that! and thanks for the screen-capture application.
i'll try to install it via parallels (a mac and a pocket pc is a disastreous combination )
one request: maybe you should use version-numbers by now. its hard to follow which iphone-zip-folder is the "up to date" one.

Tried using SNAPI?
Trying to remember but I think it was something like SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.PowerBatteryStrength).
Will test/check when I get home
*Edit* If you don't want to download the sn api then I think wm stores all state information in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State (battery strength, display orientation, num missed calls, num new sms's etc) */Edit*
Erg, sorry, just noticed the "Visual Studio 2003" part now. SNAPI requires 2005 afaik. Gonna have to grab it from manually from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Status\Battery
ok just tried the latest release. could it be that other file-extensions then *.exe are not recognized?
i.e.: .tr3 or .lnk (i tried to access a tomeraider file and a link to my contacts - but no luck)
furthermore, german pathnames including umlaute ÄÖÜßöäü doesnt work
attachment: was in need for a quick wikipedi /wikimedia icon
does this one have the slide lock?

Don't you hate it when you let someone play with your shiny new WM phone

jonesj8 had the same irritation, so inspired by him I threw something together
Original thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375057
I created a new thread to have a bit more overview, and also to get it under the attention of other users who might be interested
@mods
I can understand if you close this thread...
How does it work.
this version requires you to change all the .lnk files pointing to tmail.exe, or to the dll...maybe even other ones...
I say all lnk's but the most important are the ones the "friend" is going see/use.
I've included a shortcut creator in the attachment.
In FileList.ini specify the application to block,
in the included file it's \WIndows\tmail.exe
and i've used msg as argument.
so in the .lnk would point to lockdown.exe with the argument msg
if the passcode is correct the file will be opened.
it's not very quick (since it needs to be opened) but this should change in the next version.
the passcode can be changed in the settings.ini, default is 12345
Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas
Update Version 0.4
Well I finally got around to an update, which is attached below
The application has been rebuild from the ground up, I've used a Lock and Key method, e.g. the lnk uses key.exe which communicates with the server (the lock) this way the server only needs to read the filelist once which should save time.
<note>
because of this you will need to enter the items in the FileList.ini prior to starting the server, when the server is running it will create the used shortcuts for you
which you can then place.
if you add stuff while it is running the shortcuts wont be created...
pointers on making the FileList.ini is in the readme below.
New in this version
- installer (cab)
- app to date support
- redesigned layout
- support for arguments, opening the sms should work now, it does for me
- locking of other files should work now too (thesed with a html file)
- automatically create the proper lnk files in sub folder
To do
- include support for different screen sizes
- way to customize the colors
- mask input with *
- skinning...?
In case someone is bored and wants to create the graphics, be my guest,
My creativity in that department is next to null
Sounds great. Any chance of a screenshot of the lock screen?

Thanks, trying it now
works good, cant seem to get arguments passed to tmail.exe in settings.ini
ie.
msg=\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS"
just opens account picker, is on todo list? not bugging you, good app,
thx!
great will it run on VGA? make it as simple as you can so when we are in hurry the soft won't load so long
This looks nice and configurable.
Are we able to make it request the pin for any application listed in FileList? First try didn't work, I want to restrict more than just the inbox
sorry, double post

Correct that isn't working... also i'm not sure if it will be in there,
the reason is I wanted to change the app so it looks at the window name,
this would close all message related windows, and there is no need to change the .lnk files

Currently any application can be restricted by providing a ID + location, e.g
xyz=\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe
changing the link to tcpmp would have lockdown popup first
What application would you like to restrict?

hmmm, not sure i know what you mean. But basically, as it is now, I can't go direct to the inbox of sms using your lockdown? \o?

Basically, no
but as a workaround you could try making an lnk to tmail.exe with the -service etc. in there, next change the FileList.ini pointing to that new lnk...
not sure if it will work though

bLEhg! lol, ok, will look into that (scratches head )
some novelty things to add: skins, mask input with '*', maybe use symbols instead of numbers, 'jumble' keypad/symbols random for added security (if using symbols )
thanks for infos and keep up the good work

Any chance you can re-scale the images to fit a 240x240 screen res?
Can test it you want.

there are 4 basic resolutions right?

now, that you mention it yes, i have tried it and it does not work, if it is the specific html file. the lockdown screen would still appear but nothing happens after entering the code. maybe it will work, if the iexplore.exe itself is lockdown but this will lock down every/all html files. would it be a big change to code it, just for specific html files? i'm also thinking on specific text files just like the said html files. i keep notes on pure text files like tax account number, passwords, pincodes, etc in a text or word file. maybe this is pushing too far. maybe in the next version/release? hehehe thank you for sharing and more power...
Sorry I was on holidays
I've tested with PIE.exe and i plan this for the next version.
Please note though that this tool is only for making sure "friends" don't read your personal stuff very easy, but passwords/pin codes might be a bit too high risk..
I think this should be further developed! It really should come standard on winmob... hey Gee, if you need a cab builder or photoshop, I'd be happy to help! Let's make this idea the next ROM must-have!
I wanna use this program because every time someone wants to see my phone, they get to snooping into my personal info. However, I'm afriad if I start changing things manually, I'll screw my phone up.
I've tried a couple of weather database editors but they all just crash the new version of Manila, is anyone working on an editor that works for this version, or does someone know of one that does work that I missed ?
Much appreciation for any help or suggestions.
PS: I realize it's not "out" yet, but I'm trying out a ROM with it cooked in (EnergyROM 2.0 031109).

This is from Slawcop, all credit goes to him.
I tried this method, and it added the city to the DB but it would not update the weather for it. I verified my Accuweather code was correct as well.
For weather with this ROM....I have not found a weather database that works. The ones out there are causing the touchflo to continually restart and a HR is needed...I have installed my custom town on everyone of the Energy Rom's by following these instructions. I know it works....I have personally done it for some of my friends and there cities...
Go into settings and disable touflo3d.
Browse to the 2330fc3c_manila file in windows. Once you find it place a copy of it on your desk top. Then right click on the manila, click properties and turn off read only.
You then need to download sql-Editor http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/
Open the file and run the exe.
Click on databases, open, then go to your desktop where you saved the manila, find it and load it (you might have to click all files on file type to find it).
Once it loads you will see it loaded and a tree menu in the left column. You should notice Cities is expandable, so click the + sign and you see ID and under it you see city name click on it.
Once you click on it then over to the right you should see three tabs SQL Query/Result/ and Edit Data. You want Edit Data click it. If you dont see the chart of cities, states and countries then double click again on city name.
Now the easiest way I did it was find a city in my state or close to the same as mine and edit the information. For instance in number 1823 I inserted my city by editing it. You have to edit the cityname, state, Country, and then under accuweather code you have to make sure they all match EXACTY...capital letters...spaces etc...Also make sure the timezone matches your area. That is why it is important to find a large town close to the town you are trying to add and use the correct information.
You double click on city and a edit memo will appear with the city name edit it exactly. then move onto the next one and so on.
Once you have edited all categories that need it, which if you did like I said would only be the city name in lower case, and city name in upper case.
Once done close SQlite.
Go back to the manila on the desk top right click on check it back to read only.
Now using total commander or other registry editor install the manila file back to the windows folder. Then return back to setting and reactivate touchflo3 and your done. Go into the city and add your city...should be it...

Hi,
use 2330fc3c_manila from Rhodium-Thread Post #4 .. .this will work
It does not work for me too. It says "No weather data available". Whereas with the same accuweather code I was having no problem with Diamond weather. Where can I be wrong?
EDIT:
It worked after I added the registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Weather.ServerURLOverride"="http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"
Search for Weather Master. That is now fixed som it also works with rhodium!!
Thanks a lot, works for me on ROMeOS with Rhodium
I remember reading about some sort of program, script or setting to change to enable this:
From the home screen, start typing the name of a contact and/or the name of an application or program, and you'll be able to launch the program or call/txt the contact.
Yes, I'm aware that starting to type the name of the contact while on the home screen will search through the contacts and enable you to find your contact and place a call...
The difference with this script or program being it adds additional searching/functionality to also include being able to launch programs as well just the contacts.
I cannot remember where I read about this (possibly on another blog, in the signature of someone here on XDA, on Cyrket, as an added feature of one of the cooked ROMS, etc).
If anyone knows of the name of the program, the GScript, or whatever it could possibly be, I sure would appreciate your help. I know it's available (edit: maybe not, see post below), I just don't know what it is or where to find it.
Thanks.
Isn't this supposed to be a feature of Android 2.0?
Maybe that's what I read about.
No amount of searching the Market or Cyrket or anywhere else has turned up any results, so I bet that's it.
Look for "moov" in market. Sounds like what your looking for.

Hi, there seems to be a limitation on the number of elements one can show on each panel. I've got to the stage where every time I add a new text element it replaces an existing one... i.e. I can't add more. I've heard there's a way around this, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Yes - at the moment no solution, only workaround, like I wrote you.
But in the dialog of drkfngthdragnlrd there could come out some new findings.

Try manually entering it, do not use ATPluginInstaller, It's designed for known working formats, not trying custom code.
EDIT: Speaking of ATPluginInstaller, great app, but maybe time for someone to make a newer version as it is getting old now & custom code like this will give errors. Plus, it doesn't support writing to specific CPR's that aren't named Titanium_###.cpr. I wonder what ever happened to AppStar...
HUM: Just noticed something to do with T-Mobile's Myfaves Plugin for CHome. We're missing a dll.

Then we should find it
OK - I tried again - and Plugin-Installer is only used to make a copy to cpr in JMLToday for changing skins. No different to manual edit... but Plugin disappears with Layers per Page (No error message, only disappear)
Yes - we need an update of ATPluginInstaller. Mortscript 4.2. provides also a customized Setup.dll.
Perhaps we should go on talking about the limit in the thread, which Jumba opened:

to have the finding in one place?
I'll answer there and set a link to this page
