17-12-2008 Beta Release 4 (version 1.0.BETA-4)
Fix some stability problems with regards to Navigation windows manipulation
Fix localised folder path support for non-english rom
Added support for Garmin Que (Garmin Mobile XT predecessor), on top of existing TomTom & Garmin MXT.
14-12-2008 First Beta Release (version 1.0.BETA View attachment 137081
First Beta Release
Support following configurable settings (see screenshot)
Navigation Application - Currently Garmin Mobile XT & TomTom Navigation are supported)
Screen Orientation - support portrait (default) and landscape
Volume - Enable (default) or disable the option to set the system volume to maximum level automatically
Bluetooth Mode - Enable or disable (default) the option to turn on bluetooth radio automatically
Display Brightness - Enable or disable (default) the option to turn display to maximum brightness automatically
** You need to set the navigation software in the panel configuration UI for it to work **
To Do List
Improve the UI with animated icon, to replace text status
Revamp panel UI as a navigation dashboard, instead of Garmin or TomTom navigation screen. Garmin/TomTom will be activated/displayed on demand.
I have posted something related to the topic in another thread, but thought I would now create a thread separately to discuss this topic, given that there's some progress being made over the weekends.
Of course, this panel was developed as a prototype, based on a personal need, as well as for me to examine what panel SDK has to offer. so it may not necessary be suitable/useful for others (different spin for different people!). But I do welcome feedbacks/ideas, if it helps to bring the panel development to a new height
After I owned the Xperia, and read about the concept behind the panel, I thought it was a very innovative idea. The point about panel, in my own interpretation, is that different people has different primary usage of the pda phone, and for each individual, the primary usage also changes based on a certain event or time of the day. For e.g, when I'm in the office/meeting, I uses the phone PIM software to ensure that I don't miss the next meeting. Once I'm taking my break, or having some personal entertainment time, I would be either watching a movie or listening to mp3. Each panel indicates the primary "theme" of the moment, and so I thought I could create something similiar when I'm in my car.
So there comes the idea of Navigation panel, since I always switch on my Garmin Mobile XT, while making sure that the volume is set to the maximum while my car's handsfree carkit is connected to my pda phone.
The prototype has shaped very well over the long weekend.
1. Garmin Mobile XT is the background application for the panel (could extend to other navigation applications such as TomTom or Mapking)
2. Automatically set the volume to maximum, turn on bluetooth (so that I can connect to my car's handsfree carkit), rotate the screen to landscape mode
3. Toggling panel (i.e. pressing of the panel button) will quit the Garmin application automatically. Quitting Garmin (i.e. pressing the 'X' button in the UI) will switch back to the panel list page (finally found the way to call the panel manager, but would be checking with nelsh to see if there's a better way to manage this)
4. Will automatically revert back to the original volume level, bluetooth mode and orientation once the panel is unloaded.
5. Could have turn on the display brightness to maximum and disable pin-lock, but at this point, I have not done anything since I don't need them yet grin.gif
here's the video clip of the prototype in action

nice... could be useful...
, awesome to see ppl dev-ing panels
Cool...
would be nice if you could make a tomtom panel as well or make the panel configureable
Awesome idea!
Would be willing to test if you need testers.
Nice to see panels being developed..
why does it turn on and off bluetooth?

yes, that's the plan, but it means I have to start working on the configuration UI, which I have not done so yet. However, I do need the executable path of Tomtom, and the window name of Tomtom, so if you can provision these information, I can work on it later.

I hope I can release the alpha version this weekend for limited testing. The current panel is alittle flakey, so that's what I'm hoping to resolve in the next few days.

Probably more for my own requirements. I don't need to use bluetooth unless I'm in my car (so that the phone can connect to my BT car kit) In anycase, it doesn't turn off once the panel exits, it merely reset back to the last bluetooth mode prior to the navigation panel activation.
Would be looking at TomTom as well. If you could disable all notifications (maybe allow incoming calls) from poping up, and then return them back to the previous state on exit that would be REALLY useful.
well I'm just suggesting here, but perhaps it will be better if panels are for things that DON'T NEED to be able for multitasking ---> that is multi'panels', like TF3D and others UIs out there; because IMO it is useless if an important application had to be stopped just because we need to see our real today screen regardless what application is that.
so tomtom normaly installs here on german rom:
\programme\navigator\tomtom navigator.exe
window name should be "Tomtom Navigator"
Zenkinz, could you tell me where you got that System Status tweak for Xperia?
I found something called HTC Enlarge Title Bar in an old Kaiser post, but it doesn't seem to do anything on my phone.

Ok, I have added TomTom in my first beta release
it's now available for download btw, see the first post in this thread. You need to select the Navigation software in the panel option UI.

The panel does nothing here
I installed the cab, softrested the phone and chose the panel. Then I just see the Panel picture and the phone freezes. Not even the power button works, had to remove the battery.
Are there any programs that need to be installed for using the panel?
I use the TomTom Navigator which is installed on the Memory Card.
Update:
Okay, after a few more restarts the panel doesn't cause a crash anymore. But it does not seem to find the TomTom software, so everytime it starts it turns the screen as I wanted and then puts me back to the Today-Panel.
same thing here.... just the navigation panel screen but not going anywhere... I can open up both garmin xt and tomtom in its own program tho

did you guys run the option setting UI? Go to panel manager, select the tool button (at the bottom right corner), then select the nav panel, and click on the 'tool' icon.
Tried this out and the panel loads and the reverts back to my original panel. Does garmin need to be in a specific location for this to work? If so where? and what is the file name the panel is looking for?

It assumes garmin to be in \Garmin directory. Do you have \\Garmin\\Que.exe?
My garmin is on my storage card. and its in "\storage card\garmin\apps\wm\queppc.exe"
Can the location its looking at be changed? Also will it work if its a lnk file?

ok I set it and it does something... then jump back to today panel...
I have the QuePPC file in my storage card\garmin\wm folder and tomtom in my storage card\navigator folder.... neither 1 of them work and they both jump back to today panel
maybe I can try to copy the queppc to garmin and try it again
EDIT: that didnt work =P garmin wont even start XD

I suggested the following to Spb ( because I use Spb Pocket Plus & Spb Diary )
But mabye ( I know there is a tool for Ringtone Profiles, but I want more! ) there is a software out there that maybe does what I am looking for.
----
Hi, I have an idea for either a new product or a plugin for Pocket Plus. I call it "Power Profiles". As a business & private user of an MDA Vario I also have docking stations, one at home and one in the office.
Many MDA Vario Users ( which is basically the HTC Wizard ) use their PPC the same way I do. So bascially when I get into the office, first thing I do is turn of the phone volume and give the PPC only half the volume ( for appointments, reminders, etc. ).
One special thing on some dockingstations is that you can have your PPC sitting in front of you ( in the docking station ). My dock has the neat option that you have the MDA sitting their in landscape mode, which is great but also bad at the same time. Because with Diary & Pocket Plus installed in landscape their just isn't enough space on the screen.
So the Plugin would create Profile Shortcuts and do the following. I have two profiles setup, one called HOME the other called OFFICE.
I tap on a shortcut on the today screen (OFFICE) it:
1. Sets the volumes as I need them
2. Turns the screen into landscape
3. Turns off Pocket Plus ( or hides it, it only matters that Diary gets the full landscape view )
4. The Display light gets turned up all the way
Once I am on my way home, I tap on the another shortcut (HOME) which then:
1. Sets the volumes as I need them
2. Turns the screen into normal view
3. Turns ON Pocket Plus ( or makes it visible again )
4. The Display is set to my normal level ( two levels under the max )
Of course their could be lots more stuff that a realy Profile Program could/should do ( Different Ringtone Settings, Different Theme in the Office then at Home - don't wanna show your boss your girlfriend all the time now do you ;-), Different Items displayed on the Today Screen, etc. etc. )
So maybe you are able to think about my suggestions, it would be a great addition to your product portfolio I believe )
Very good idea! Not seen any software like that and just done a search in my normal sites - mainly freeware. Maybe a commercial one somewhere but none on a google search. Hope SPB listen to you
Hmm, funny, i was thinking in the same direction.
And why not let the 'Power on/off and 'USB connect' (etc) events trigger the profiles also ?
After developing the Tomtom Navigate2 script, i think i can do it, if i get enough information on the desired settings.
- Like BT on/off ; Needs a 'real' tool, there's no internal command, and changing regkey ain't enough.
So solved it with a script that calls BTon/BToff tool and changes regkey of the BT headset profile:
Ok, BT On/Off + BR Profile Toggle works !
What do i need then ?
"What setings should be changeable ? "
My suggestion :
- BT + BT HeadsetProfile (Done !)
- "ActiveSync when Craddled" option On/Off (Done !)
- Change Today Theme ? Would be nice.. (Not even looked at...)
The suggestions i just heard :
- Change ScreenRotation (isn't there a free tool for it ?)
- Change Today Items.
- Change Display Birgightness.
"How do we change these settings ?"
- BT is done,
- ASync is done,
- Screen rotation; Need commandtool (Doesn't VJ have a tool that does this ?) + Subroutine for script. So done, apart from writing it in the tool
- Screenrotation; if there is a commandtool for it, same as for 'Screen Rotation'
- Change Today items; Haven't got a clue, is thanging regkey and refersh today enough ?
- Display brightness; idem as Today Items....
So, let's get it rolling then
That would be so wonderful if this could be achieved! I have absolutly no plan on how do to it - but I have the ideas 8) :lol:
Pocket Plus lets you also rotate the screen with a tap on the screen, but what I wanted to achive is automation - simply by click ONE shortcut it does the whole thing for me - I am know I am a lazy person but hey thats a reason I got myself a PPC :wink:
This is similar to the one thing I miss from my nokia phones which is one click profiles for outdoor, indoor, meeting, etc. hope something comes of this.
What about PocketZenPhone???
PZP lets you set up anywhere from 2 to 7 profiles, controlling virtually everything you might associate with a profile, such as:
- ring / vibrate / volume / flash (and about a dozen variant combinations)
- the above for notification on just about any kind of event
- power settings for each profile both on battery and corded power
More features than it makes sense to list here. But I've been playing with it over the last couple of days. Very clean, and very functional. Many ways to use it also -
- today plugin (just tap an icon to switch profiles)
- task tray popup
- menu
- automated switching in sync with pocket Outlook
I've also traded email with the developer (zendrui) and it turns out to be pretty straightforward to get MS Voice Command to also switch profiles - I should have this all set up in the next hour. Love the idea of tapping the button to invoke Voice Command and just telling it to go to "silent" or "meeting", and having all settings adjusted at once.
Pocket Zen Phone
Hello all,
Check http://zendrui.free.fr . This sw is very good and keeps beeing updated.
Yes, this is a great program.... it is amazingly small for what it does and it does an amazing amount. It even controls which radio's are on or off and when.
Anyway... here is the link to open the forum thread that has 6.0 beta 7 http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPForum/viewforum.php?f=5
When I had Nokia phone, I used a program called miniGPS from Psiloc.com. This was the best program for profile switching. It worked by detecting all the cells at a location and allowing those cells to be put into a group. Then I could create events like "upon entering group, switch to meeting profile, turn off bluetooth, map the keys to do this...change screen saver, change wallpaper to this one..." etc. and upon exit from the cell group, change the ringer volume to max, switch wallpaper, and so on. Unfortunately, the Windows mobile equivalent of this program does not work on 8125. The PocketZenPhone is nowhere close. It works on fixed time basis. What if at that time I am not in office? Though I like the 8125, I badly miss the miniGPS program. It is sad that such a nice utility is not available for Windows.

Sounds really powerful, although I'm not sure I'd want the phone deciding when to switch profiles for me.
I've been experimenting with a set of shortcuts to invoke each profile, renaming them to be meaningful to me, such as, "HomeProfile", "OfficeProfile", "Silent", etc. Then I can use Voice Command to switch by saying something like "Run Silent" or "Run HomeProfile"...and it does.
One thing I liked about the built-in profile capability on the Nokia's we have is the fact that they would switch to my headset profile when I plugged in a pair of headphones, or when I simply turned on my pre-paired BT headset -- THAT was nice. I'd be curious to see how WM5 recognizes such an event -- I'd think that zendrui, the author of PocketZenPhone, would be able to hook such an event and offer us the option of having it trigger a profile change.
Here is the freeware version of Pocketzenphone 4.5.1 tested on my phone and works well. You have to fiddle with the settings but I got it working properly . If you like it can buy the full version 5 euros I think which is cheap. (me prob will)
I bought the currently shipping version (5.52?) and it works fine...but I wanted to try installing the shortcuts to invoke the various profiles, and the cabs that automatically create and install them (and the associated EXE's) in the right dirs assume NEW directory structures different than what the currently shipping version (5.52) uses. Instead, the new dir structure corresponds to the beta of version 6.0 -- currently at beta 7 I believe, and quite stable. I suspect it's nearing commercial release.
Anyway - ver 6 beta 7 can be downloaded free, and will function for a month. If you like it, it's something like $8 directly from the site, or $10 via Handango or a couple of others. This also buys you all future releases, and the author continues to upgrade this regularly. It's a good deal.
I tried to download 6.0 beta 7 but unable too. If anyone else has any joy please post
what about this one found on modaco http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=205779? it's free and wm5 compatable. i've not tried it. if you do, please report your opinion.

Just looking at the screens suggest to me that, while this one might work, it has far less control than PZP. Might be worth a try, but I like controlling power, backlight, vibration, etc along with ringtones and volume.
The Modaco Tool works, but as stated is by no means as powerful as ZenPhone.
Another problem with the modaco tool for me ( and many others, just check their forum ) is that after you UNINSTALL the tool it will most likely mess up your ringtones/settings.
Lucky me I had a backup of my system so I could recover without a hitch. The problem was that I had some weird ringtones listed that did not work and were actually never on my system and I could not choose any other ringtones after the uninstall.
I am gonna give Zenphone a try, it looks promising but also time consuming to setup - will give it a go this evening.
thanks jon for both tips. pzp beta won't download I think cuz I am browsing on pda and sometimes cabs won't download. Got ppcprofiles though great find well done. Initial testing promising.

This program could be what you're looking for: http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJVolubilis
It's developed by vijay555 of this XDA-forum!
It creates shortcuts in the start > programs menu, to toggle BlueTooth, WiFi, IrdA and in the latest version it even toggles Phone Radio. You can put the shortcut tot Bluetooth toggle and wifi toggle as an icon on the todayscreen usining any program launcher or you can put them in the system tray using PHM traylaunch as i have done. Only nag is that you have to switch wifi on from the Commmanager only once before the shortcut works. Then no problem until the next soft-reset.

thank you i'll give that a shot now
I use this tool to turn/off Bluetooth for my headset in the car. Its a really usefully little helper!
You can even edit the .ink files so that you do NOT get a status message on the screen ( which I would have to click away to see my today screen again ).
i installed the cab and have found the shortcuts, however i get an error when i tap any of them- any ideas ? Also how do i intergrate your cool icons to the shortcuts ?
thanks,
malty
maltloaf: you may be getting errors because you installed to a non default location. There are warnings I hope on my site, but I've been too busy to write a custom installer, so the provided shortcuts are hard coded for English default installation. If you change location, they don't work. But just edit them and you should be able to change the location so they point to the right place.
I've (hopefully) added GPRS control as well, as of yesterday, so can finally re-visit Wizard wifi and get it fixed as a next step to global domination, bwaa haa haa...
The status messages will also be tarted up as an upcoming update.
To change icons - search my username for the word "completeness" for various posts.

ok can see the link working now i installed it on the device rather than the storage card. I'm having a little trouble getting a working link to your ready made shortcuts in phm traylaunch.

how to change the icons:
step 1:
Find the icons you would like to use. My bluetooth icon comes from a program called CicleBT, which is also a Bluetooth switcher but has an annoying confirmed-message. i got it here: http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/cbt/cbt.aspx
My wifi-icon comes from the wifitray.exe file in the \windows diretory.
Step 2:
Modify the shortcuts (also to redirect them to the locationwhere you installed Vijay's VJVolubilis program.
The shortcuts are placed in the folder:
\windows\startmenu\programs\vijay555\VJVolubilis\
I changed the BT-toggle shortcut from:
73#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJVolubilis\VjVolubilis.exe" -status -bluetoggle
to: (i have a Dutch rom so my Program Files folder is called Programmabestanden)
73#"\Programmabestanden\vijay555\VJVolubilis\VjVolubilis.exe" -status -bluetoggle?\programmabestanden\CicleBT\CicleBT.exe,-101
(where after the questionmark is the location of the icon)
and changed the wifi-toggle shortcut from:
73#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJVolubilis\VjVolubilis.exe" -status -wifitoggle
to:
73#"\Programmabestanden\vijay555\VJVolubilis\VjVolubilis.exe" -status -wifitoggle?\windows\wifitray.exe,-105
(You could also remove "-status" from the above strings so that you don;t get a confirmation message.)
you are a star, i just go my wifi icon working perfectly using your instructions. Thank you.
maltloaf: what are you using for your wifi control app?
V
PS anyone tried the GPRS yet? It's untested AFAIK... I'd like to know if it works
@ vijay555
Hi! I'm also using VJVolubilis and i like it very much! I have 2 shortcuts in my bottomtray to toggle Bluetooth and Wifi. (see above screenshot)
I tested the GPRS toggle and this also works like a charm!
But i'm having some problems with the radio toggle: when radio is on and i click on a shortcut to switch it off (- radiotoggle) it switches perfectly to flightmode. But when i then click again on the shortcut (- radiotoggle) it tries to switch the radio back on again but i get an antenna-symbol with a explanationmark, No Service! This problem also accures when using the command -radioon, but does does not appear when using the build in (clicking the network icon an selecting flightmode off) way.
Furthermore i tried -AGon and -AGoff commands and they also work fine!!! I have paired my bluetooth headset to my device a couple weeks ago. When i now click a shortcut -AGon it turns on Bluetooth and i get instandly the sound over my (mono) headset (I do not have to push any further buttons to make it work). Soundquality is not so good but that surely has to do with my lowbudget headset! Also -AGoff works just fine! My question: does this mean that when i buy a stereo bluetooth headset the sound would be much better?
So the only problem i ran into was to switch the radio back on, that doesn't work for me!
My configuration:
- T-Mobile MDA Vario
- Latest version VJVolubilis (downloaded today april 12th at 09.00 am)
- ROM version: Qtek 2.18.7.6 NLD
- ROM date: 2/22/2006
- Radioversion: 02.07.10
- Protocolversion: 413.1.03
- Windows Mobile 5.1.195 (build 14847.2.0.0)
- Headset: Cellink Mini Bluetooth Headset BTHS 6023-F
- Not using Voice Command
1-2tje: I'll look into it. I have the same headset as you, I think it's a generic - mine was branded "Medion", but I know other shops that sell it
Not sure why the radio on off wouldn't work. I'll look into it. You're not using a sim switcher or anything are you?
Has anyone else tried this on WM5? I've only tried radio switching on WM2003 and the WM5 Emulator.
Regarding the stereo bluetooth, the sound works in a different way and is a much higher quality. Read some reviews though, some apps don't work well with the limited bluetooth bandwidth, but it will certainly sound better then the little headset

No not using any sim switcher or something like it. It would be nice if radio toggle would work
I created some icons to put in the traylaunch for your shortcuts. Maybe someone else is interested
The icons are in the attached toggleico.dll.

bluetooth = -2
radio = -3
wifi = -4
vijay555, or anyone, I'm using your VjVolubilis and VJDevicelock to turn off my wifi, turn on my bluetooth, and lock my device before I ride my motorcycle. I'm using two links, one for VjVolubilis and one for VJDevicelock but would like to do it all with one button. Is there a way to execute 2 programs in one lnk file or some other method to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. VjVolubilis will not turn my wifi on for the first time ater a reset but works fine for on, off and toggle after I use the connection manager to turn it on. I have a cingular 8125 with the new Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE rom.
holmanm: I only have a Universal (and Magician), not a Wizard, so I'm stuck when it comes to testing on that hardware. But I'm trying to work on a more generic solution, not hardware specific.
To execute more then one app, use mortscript, or if your Japanese is slightly more fluent then mine, ExecMulti. No, I can't tell you how to use it
1-2tje - that's a great solution! Looks cool - any chance of a bigger screenshot though, for context?

Just to clarify re: the GPRS function, does this totally disable GPRS? At the moment I have a dummy GPRS connection set up as my default (to stop GPRS accidentally being used when I'm surfing over a wifi connection), and switch back to the 'real' GPRS connection when I need to use it. Obviously, though, it's a bit of a PITA and having a 'disable GPRS' option (without disabling the phone) would be really handy....
large image with my custom made icons:
I'm not happy yet with the GPRS and Radio icons. I 'borrowed' the Bluetooth and Wifi icons from other programs but the GPRS and Radio i have to create myself and that's not so easy. I would really like to have "interactive" icons such as Comm Manager icon. Where you see a red cross when disabled en the icon turns green when enabeld! Any idea how to do this? Is it for a part programming or is it just a maater of putting different icons in a dll file? I suppose there is a programming aspect because the program has to know wich icon to use. Do you have any ideas about this?
Webreaper: no, hopefully it's just the same as tapping the GPRS icon and perssing connect/disconnect. It should use your default GPRS connection. I haven't made it disable GPRS (yet).
1-2tje: Nice shot, thanks.
Just an idea - you can rip the original icons from the OS, they're in shellapp.96.dll or something like that. I've got some posts on the issue somewhere.
What you're suggesting would be fairly tough to implement. I could make VJVolubilis return a return/error value to indicate if a particular function is enabled/disabled (eg Wifi is on = 1, off = 0). However, returning several values (eg bluetooth, wifi etc) would be confusing. But either way, you would then need a tray launcher app able to respond to this error value and update the tray icon accordingly. I don't know of any app that can do this.
Theoretically I could build tray icons into VJVolubilis, but I think for now it goes against the idea of what the app is to me (a tool to be used with other launchers). I may consider building in an interface and other interface options later.
This is a confusing possiblity, but you could, I think, use something like mortscript. This would work thus:
Make a mortscript to:
1. Launch VJVolubilis -wifion.
2. Use a taskkiller to kill a VJTrayLaunch icon.
3. Launch VJTrayLaunch to ANOTHER mortscript to launch VJVolublis -wifioff.
Also making a matching companion for the OFF version.
So the idea: launch VJTrayLaunch shortcut to mortscript for ON version. The ON version would do wifion, and remove the old icon, and launch a new icon. So clicking the icon removes old icon and adds a new one.
Complicated, and might not work, but could work!

GPRS Toggle
Hi,
My question might be
But how do you toggle the GPRS connection with VJVolubilis ?
What is the command line or how do you do this ?
Thanks

moGo beta v.0.4
moGo is now independent
The new version of moGo no longer needs the freestyl server. At the moment this most likely will not mean to much to you guys but it means moGo is no longer restricted to the freestyl features. The new server pushes data to moGo to save on power as previously moGo had to ask the server to see if there where changes at regular intervals.

}
Features:
Finger friendly application launcher
Quick dial of favourite friends
Highly configurable menus and menu items
Missed call/sms/email notifications
Slide to quick launch(needs to be set in sets.txt)
Vibrate on touch(needs to be set in sets.txt, also probably not recommended)
Requirements:
.net compact 2.0
flashlite 2.1
How to use:
download and unzip the .CAB file
Transfer moGoInstall.CAB file to phone then click file to install.
INSTALL ONTO DEVICE!
Look in programs and run mogo.
Config:
There is still no easy config app but you can delve into the settings by editing the sets.txt file. In this file are a lot of setting values where you can change the wallpaper, icons and the menu items. After editing the sets.txt file you will need to re launch moGo.
Change wallpaper
wall=wallpapers/01.jpg -- after the = sign put the location of your own wallpaper
Change icons
menuIcon1=Phone.png -- change Phone.png to the icon you want to use. You can find icons in the icons folder.
Change menu Items
m1_iName1=Contacts -- This is the menu item title
m1_iDesc1=See a list of your conacts -- A small description
m1_iIcon1=Contacts.png -- The icon of the menu item
m1_iType1=launch -- Launch type. Can be: launch,web,call
m1_iAction1=\Windows\addrbook.lnk -- Depending on the launch type. Either location of app, web address or phone number
Multiple menus
It is possible to add your own menu. You can currently have up to 4 menus per button.
m1_Menus=3 -- This needs to be set to the correct number of menus you want.
The following would create a third menu for the phone button. Having m111 means it is the 3rd menu. m1111 would be the forth.
&m111_Style=big&m111_Ani=fromB&
&m111_iName1=Friend 5&m111_iDesc1=Ring 01234567890&m111_iIcon1=Contacts.png&m111_iType1=call&m111_iAction1=01234567890&
&m111_iName2=Friend 6&m111_iDesc2=Ring 01234567890&m111_iIcon2=Contacts.png&m111_iType2=call&m111_iAction2=01234567890&
&m111_iName3=Friend 7&m111_iDesc3=Ring 01234567890&m111_iIcon3=Contacts.png&m111_iType3=call&m111_iAction3=01234567890&
&m111_iName4=Friend 8&m111_iDesc4=Ring 01234567890&m111_iIcon4=Contacts.png&m111_iType4=call&m111_iAction4=01234567890&
&m111_Style=big -- means it is using the 4 big menu items style. Setting it to grid would make it use a 9 item grid menu. If using the grid you will need to add more items to the menu.
&m111_Ani=fromB -- This means the menu animation will slide from the bottom. Other options are "fromU" is slide from the top, "fromL", slide in from the left and "fromR", slide in from the right.
Slide to quick launch
&slideLeft_iType=none&slideLeft_iAction=\Windows\fexplore.exe&slideLeft_iIcon=FileExplorer.png&
&slideLeft_iType=none -- This means the slide to launch is off. Set it to "launch" and add the correct location to launch an application like a locker program for example. You can set an icon for it. You could also set it to ring someone by using the iType=call setting.
Possible problems:
I have built a brand new moGoServer instead of using freestyl and I have found the xmlsocket class in flashlite a little flaky. I do believe that I have found a good work around to make it stable though. See if you have any problems and let me know.
I only see a black window titled moGoServer...
You either do not have flashlite 2.1 installed or flashlite is not associating .swf files. If you have flashlite installed run it and open a swf file manually by clicking open. You can find a swf file in the flashlite folder or moGo folder. Now it wil associate swf files and you never ned to do it again. Restart moGo.
Download moGo v.0.4
Hope you like it
Steve
very nice and clean
it would be nice to make top bar in the same color
Gives me a black window named moGoServer when I run moGo in Programs.

Have you got FlashLite 2.1 installed?
If you have flashlite installed and you still get the black screen open a swf file manually with flashlite by running flashlite, clicking open and finding a .swf file. There's one in the flashlite folder or moGo folder. After thats done close it and run moGo again. Flashlite would have associated swf files with it now so you will never need to do that again.
I'll edit the first post so it has this info in it now.
thks for this very nice log; the "call history" don't work ...
Very nice!! Working on some customization now.
Fantastic first release. Great work! I love how quick and clean it is.
Suggestions for future releases:
Weather
RSS Reader
include # of voicemails along with SMS, email, and missed calls.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
kinda cool, but it would be nice if it auto saw all your applications. still testing it some though.
@ monamibouli
Have you got the tCallHistory.exe file. It should be in your windows folder by default really. Sometimes yet rarely I have found windows mobile wouldn't launch my call history at all until I restarted.
@ mfrost67
Nice. I would love to see some screen shots when your finished. Same with anyone else who may be adding their own skin. In the following versions I will increase the skinning ability of moGo too.
@ bigevs
Personaly I dont use weather apps but you're the second person to ask for it so I guess I should do it. RSS reader would be cool and I totally agree with the voice notification which will defiantly be in the next version.
@ ROCOAFZ
Yeah I have already thought about that. I think the way I will do it is still have a favourites menu type thing but then have a show all programs button that will launch a list view.
I've had some time to tinker around with this program and I am still loving it. I've used itask animated, freestyl, and several other set-ups and I like this one the best. It works great for my fat fingers and it seems to be very stable. A few thoughts on how to make it even better...
*Ability to include today plug-ins on a page
*Next appointment on today screen
*Bluetooth icon on home page
*More customization options such as:
*Option to remove curtain under the clock on the homepage
*Ability to change background on every page
*Time and date format
I can't wait for the next release. This program is fantastic.
Thanks bigevs,
A lot of your suggestions are being worked on for the next release. What do you mean by "Ability to include today plug-ins on a page" suggestion.
this is working for my dopod 818 pro??

Sorry. I meant embedding today plug-ins into moGo so that you could cycle between them. I've seen other programs that do this (i.e. Throttlelauncher)
I use Today Agenda, and it would be nice to incorporate that into moGo so I don't have to close moGo to see it on the today screen. I would rather have them integrated together. Or, you could build your own calender/tasks app.
I also seem to be having a little trouble with the SMS notifier updating in a timely manner. Did I mess somethihg up, or is this a known issue?
EDIT: It works fine if I hit the Outlook icon and then SMS inbox, but doesn't work if I tap the Blue SMS notifier.
Once again, great job! Keep up the good work.

I second this request I have been looking for a launcher like moGo that would also incorporate today plugins. I've been trying to get the iFonz developer to do it, but I think he has too manu requests as it is . Having a page for today plugins would be great, then I could have phonealarm and my schedule(schedule = most important to me), on a single page with easy access to moGo. Just a suggestion .
I will have to look into incorporating the today plugins. Any ideas on how you would like this to work? I think I will have to install a plugin to test this out.
@ bigevs
The blue SMS notifier button is linked to the same lnk file as the menu item labelled SMS Inbox. If you are having trouble with one you should be having trouble with the other. So i'm not sure what is happening there. The notification is hard coded to use the lnk file too so you couldn't of messed anything up in the sets.txt file.

hi thanks for sharing
Is it fo VGA only or QVGA also ? and is it going to work on my hd also ? (WVGA)
Great App! Absolutely love it and use it daily!
2 things:
1) When my phone goes into stand-by, the alarm does not go off - just a quiet vibration.
2) The top bar is very, very tiny. It's impossible to click the area to minimize or close the app.
Suggestion: Add soft-keys on the bottom bar, like Menu (close; minimize; about) and Settings on the other side.
I'm using it on:
Sprint HTC Touch Pro; WM6.1pro; VGA screen
thanks a bunch! Great Work!!!!

It's designed to work on all resolutions. But it's only tested in emulators. Please report your reesults here.
No problem for me, just working fine on trinity except the fact that's it's for wwe rom, the cab doen't put the fonts in the "police" folder on my french rom so it made an error. I created a Fonts one to put the .ttf and all works fine. Thanks for sharing.
On my Tytn2 with WM6.1(HTC dutch Rom) it doesnt even start.
I get the following error:
DirectoryNotFoundException
I do have Net CF 3.5 installed.
Won't start on a Touch 3G - it reports "An unexpected error has occurred in TouchWatch2.exe" and "This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on the device." - which is very unlikely given that this is a brand new handset from HTC with ROM dated October 2008 ?
Congratulations for TouchWatch application! Like it over G-Watch for one main reason, I was able to minimise it to do other stuff.
I'm running it in a TyTN II. Works great.
I've some suggestions:
1. Put icons over the top three locations (Main settings, minimise and close). Users don't need to guess what to do next once they launch the application and they don't read instructions .
2. Increase the size of the two icons signifying timer and stopwatch (older people like me with poorer eyesight have difficulty distinguishing which is which).
3. Or put the words Timer and Stopwatch above the icons.
4. Possibility to change the background of the application (best is to use three colour slider).
Keep up the good work. Thanks.

This is coming along very nicely! The problem with v1, where the form filled only 1/4 of the screen, has been resolved, and I like the addition of the stopwatch and the additional options. I also like the way it now ties in with the TF3D look.

Agree with both of these points. The standard top bar, with the Windows menu, system icons and close button, should be retained, and menus added to the bottom bar (Menu and Settings or File and Options, perhaps).
Final suggestions: it would be good if the sound selection dialog allowed browsing to other file locations, and it would be helpful if there was a sound test button.
A great little app - thank you!

The timers will stop if the device is in standby. There is no workaround. It's depending on the Windows Mobile architecture.

Does Chronos suspend the default standby, and just lock the keys and power the screen off? - WM stops most processes running to extend battery life.

Chronos even keeps running when i put my tytn2 manually in stand-by with the power button.
So i guess it goes realy in stand-by or chronos is doing something even when you put it manually in stand-by, not for sure.
Hi all If you already follow my Thread of" Pocket Gforce" you know that i stop working on it because of the lack of time.
Atm igot myself whit some spare time and whit lots of requests to continue the project.
So i start developing a new Pocket Gforce (v2) that is fully customizable and works in any Resolution(VGA, WVGA, etc and Landscape or Portrait) as long you got a proper skin.
This is where you come in.
This is the skin that i made and i will explain how you can make one.

// the file continues for the Y Z T and Speed dials (at the moment speed dont work)
(Midle dial is "S", left one is "Y", right is "Z" and bottom is "X"
And this is the part that show all the skins that you have in the skins folder and where you can change them. To access it push middle button or open "Pocket gForce 2 Options"
Unbaliveble only one person post something and actually no one contact me about skins or beta testing so i suppose no one really cares... but i had 1215downloads of it
So if the community don't want to help i just gonna sell my project as i was always for open source but...
Any way the program is now working whit the Sensors and in the next week i will test whit the gps part.
So do you really care/like about Pocket Gforce ? What to see Pocket Gforce 2 at max capacity, the way you like and above all FREE?
So Start making some skins...

Please keep up the good work, if you received no big feedback for your apps, this might be just because the people are happy with it and got no problems. I see most of the replies for any application is based on errors and bugs.
Hi all i made some major updates as the Sensores are now working and i implemented a graph system.
Check the skins i made so you can understand the possibility of this program, and ppl plz contribute whit some skins tips or critics cuz i need some incentive to keep it free

It should work but back then the sensors where not activated, check the latest versions, but as the originals skins don't have the proper size you will not use the full size of your screen.

I suppose your right but no comments at all is very frustrating...
I have downloaded it. I will reply after the use.
Ah thats awesome
I love the version befor, hmm i dont remember the version number but i truly love it!
One thing i think you implement or change is a tab or mode that the speedometer is the same size as the overall g-meter.
That i think would be nice
Just PM me if you need any testing!

EDIT
I noticed one thing, I have SPB Mobile Shell, on a Touch Diamond, and when i start the app and it change the display to landscape, it wont change back to regular mode after exit.
Cheers

hi !!
i've never used your app, but i can test the last version if you want !!
I'm searching such an app for a long time, because i can't buy me a Nissan GTR !! (To understand the joke, ask google to show you the computer screen of that car !!)
Have a nice day !!
love the v1 app but couldn't get it to show in MPH, so thought i'd give the new version a try. Looking good so far but the screen doesn't fill properly on my TouchHD. Also, can't find a way to exit the app, other than taskmanager which leaves the screen in landscape mode. Thx

As i say there is a need to some one to make some skins for other resolutions so my one skins fit best on VGA devises, wi dont you try to make some skins and post them here for other also? And dont forget that is not only backgroud is also what you whant to display.

Any way the new vertion will be release next monday or so whit the GPS working.
I've no idea how to make a skin, but if you give me some pointers, or links to tutorials i'll have a go, I mean, how hard can it be?? LOL (ducks)

I supose my explanation on the first post is a ls some what confuse, so here is a temporaty tourial as i supose i can make a video and post in youtube
I recommend you grab a copy of the free Paint.Net whit as me tool "magic wand" for select parts of images and have multi layer capability. There are lots of tutorials about it.
1. google some gauge dials like this one for example
2. find some nice background for it
3. use Paint.net and the tool "magic wand" to cut only the dial (normally you need to adjust the % of the tool to get the part you need.
4. you wil get a clean image of the dial without the background, remove also anything you dont want, like needles if it there is any or any text you dont need.
5. make a new image whit you device resolution whit the background
6. Put a new layer on top of the background and copy/past the dial in the spot you want
7. repeat the last step fot the rest of the dials
8. save it as "test.png" MUST BE PNG
9. Open one of the already created skins like "basic.ini"
(check post one for a explanation of the ini file)
10. disable anything that you dont use (like some dials digitals or graphs)
11. start putting coordinates and sizes (use paint.net to get the coordnates for some poits like the center of the dial.
12. save it as "test.png"
13. copy the "test.png" and "test.ini" to the skins folder
14. enjoy
Ok, thought I'd try something simple to start with so i just made an HD version of your basic skin. I wanted to put the speed on there too, but it shows as huge 'g' numbers so i just turned it off in the ini. Once i figure out the concept of skinning properly i'll come up with some others (i prefer a portrait style). Incidentally i the middle dial is 'T' not 'S' as stated in your instructions. Couldn't figure out how to make the dials eliptical rather than round either.
I think i'm getting the hang of it. Tweaked gfAnalizer for the HD and created a new skin from scratch. Let me know what you think, obviously the speedo isn't working but i've left it enabled anyway.
Nice start whit the skins, im going to put the layer files of basic so ppl can use them easy.
Im compiling users skin on then 3post, after some more skins appear
Just been for a test drive
There are a few things i think this app needs:
Exit option
Calibrate or Zero option when installed in car.
0-60 time which starts when car moves off and stops when reaching 60.
Log facility, ideally with gps info stored for overlay on google maps
Regards
