Minute tracker (alternative to LCMinutes) - XPERIA X1 General

Appologies since this isn't really an X1 specific query.
Does anyone know of a good minute tracker, which counts time by the second? It's pretty hard to search for because people call this kind of software all sorts of different things.
At the moment I'm using LCMinutes, but it counts 61 seconds as 2 minutes and is difficult to set up properly and maintain. It also counts 1000kB per MB, and more importantly it can't exclude certain numbers (like voicemail and network operator) from your allowance.
Thanks

Is it really that bad at math? I was just thinking to give it a try.

Yep. Really really. Apparently in the US 61 seconds is always charged as 2 minutes, so it's not too bad for over there.
Still, most sites I've seen which mention the program hail it as something brilliant and make no mention of alternatives.

No-one know of anything better?

I´m trying to get this integrated into spb wireless. Maybe you could leave a note about how great that would be too.

Cool 1 button audio task creating application request...

I'm not a developer. One day maybe but for now I only marvel at those who can actually create applications. But I could really use this app. Perhaps there is a developer that could too and will run with the idea?....
The Application: Task created by one button press on PPC that records an audio task reminder, creates task dated today with subject "Audio Task" and attaches the audio clip to the task.
The idea is that you can create tasks on the fly with 1 button press (say you are driving or whatever) as long as you have your PPC and remind yourself later. 1 press and say "Pick up beer for Friday" (okay not likely I'd forget that, but you get the idea). It beeps to confirm it worked and then the task is created and shows up in outlook after syncing.
For me this task then shows up in my outlook 'today's tasks list' which I live out of and I can take it from there.
How hard would this be to build? Just a script of some kind I'm guessing - maybe not as I say I'm not a developer. Any takers? Should I pass the hat?
Cheers.
Nice idea.
I'm quite busy right now, but consider using PocketMax AlarmToday, or alternatively a poor man's alternative is to use the built in Notes Voice recorder (hotvoice) and couple it with the plugin AudioNotes, to show your audio notes count on the today screen.

The key is getting it into Outlook....

Vijay thanks for your comments. And yours suggestions are good and get the solution part way there, and as you say would serve as a stop gap.
But the key to this app (and people loving it) is that it integrates seemlessly into the way they manage there lives now. For me (and I've found for a suprising number of people) everything flows through outlook, having another location to check, even on as front and center as the today screen, simply won't do.
The key to the idea is to have a zero headache and 100% reliable way to record and then forget a task until it needs either done or alocated to the day it will be done.
I actually thought I was a bit of freak managing a lot of my life through tasks but I have come across a bunch of people that are way more organized and 'freaky' than I am.
Anyway, thanks for you suggestion. If you get some time and find this interesting let me know. I could draft up a non-technical spec doc pretty quickly. I've got several versions in my head starting with a basic utility to do what I mentioned (which is all I'm really after), right up to one that uses speach to text to fill in the details for you and location positioning to remind you to do things based on where you are (ever been right near the dry cleaner but forgot to pick up the cleaning?). But that's a whole other story.
Cheers.
Hmmm. Speech to text is something I'm still working on.
I'm unlikely to get time to focus on this immediately, but if you see me loitering on streetcorners some weeks hence, stop me and ask me if I'm still "doing business" - ie send me the spec over.
Thinking about it in theory, it doesn't sound too bad. Use POOM to create a new task, use the sound/voice recorder control to embed into the associated note, grab the current date etc. However, like all programming, theory is easy, execution takes time and Jolt.
I use tasks for staying on top of updates for my apps - it's the only way I'd remember all of the requests, otherwise I'll forget everything. My brain is useless Needs a firmware update.
V
Loitering on street corners hey. Be careful who you meet doing that sort of thing. :shock:
I'm in our same boat, very pressed for time at the moment (just started a new job with Siemens), which is one of the things reminded me why this app would be so handy. That said I'll see about putting a spec together.
Ya I like the theory too, but that's as far as I get. But as you say it seems a lot of the foundation is there from existing apps. I guess it just depends how easy ol' MS has made it to work with them. Does POOM have a reasonable api?
If you know of a Brain Firmware upgrades other than the stock version sign me up. Without task to keep me on track I'm lost.
We'll just see how the time comes together and seeing as I can't help on the programming side I'd be more than willing to provide the jolt. :wink:
Cheers.
I program in native pure C++. In that, POOM has a horribly arcane API. It's much easier in .net, so if anyone wants to try their hand at it, jump in.
But I'm not a .net convert yet... too sloooow.
V
Not that this is a substitute for the OPs original proposal (which is really nice),
here is an interesting AudioNotes/Today Plugin combo that is meeting you half way...
Blade's Audio Notes
Of course Blade uses .net (1.1 in this case) so it does run slower than C++, but it's free
Blades Audio Notes is a start. But can I send my Boss to blade when I forget to make the phone call because it Outlook wasn't reminding to do it? :wink:
Am I the only one that uses Outlook pretty strictly to manage getting things done? Just curious. I've been called worse than "outlook freak" before and likely again...
...but thanks for the heads up malatesta.

AGEphone Mobile 2 Softphone

For all of you who were searching for a decent VoIP Softphone that supports multiple SIP accounts, is not in beta since 2 years ago. doesn't bring your PPC down to a crawl or is nearly unusable, search no longer: We have released our AGEphone Mobile 2 just today and it blows away every competitor from Xlite over SJphone to Skype. Big words? You bet! But why don't you just test it yourself? Just point your browser to http://www.ageet.com/files/AGEphoneMobile2.CAB OR point your cellphone at http://mobileage.notlong.com and install the softphone on your Windows Mobile 5 or 6 device. You can try it as long as you want without any limits but a duration of one minute for each call.
"And, who the heck are you?" I hear you ask. We, that is the ageet Corporation in beautiful (and far) Japan and we simply couldn't stand watching the Windows Mobile VoIP market dragging along... with an SJphone version right out of the stoneage, the wannabe softphone Fring with its horrible interface ans support for but one SIP provider and not to forget Skype which single handedly brings your PPC to the knees should you only think about calling someone. AGEphone does things differently and it does things BETTER (see our press release under http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372992) and we hope that it will be of good service to many people. And that is where you come into play:
... cause our AGEphone has been in programming for quite a while already, but we know well enough that we are just not there yet. We're selling our software and that is why you can expect only the best. So, why not give the current version a go and let me know what you like and (more importantly) dislike about it. Right now we're working on bluetooth support and chat functions are planned for the future. But I know that there must be many more features that you would like to see in in our program and we don't even have a clue about it... until now. A little post might just be enough to let us know!
And we won't just leave you with the good feeling of having helped out to improve the best VoIP client on the Windows Mobile platform - that's just not enough. And so we put out two free licenses for board members who provide us with the best suggestions (and many ), bug reports and new ideas. And if you are really convinced that AGEphone Mobile is the way to go VoIP and if then you happen to sit in the right seat: We pay well for relayed 3rd party orders and redistribution. So just let us hear from you and the least you get is that we work hard to create a better softphone for you. Whether it will be more depends just on YOU!
Will be nice if you had a proper English web site. Clicking on the English still keeps you at the Jap language. Why come and post here when you cant even get a proper web site with English on??
I'm very sorry for that. The new page is still pretty new and there are some quirks that need to be sorted out. The problem should be fixed by now, but if it persists please PM me your OS and browser version and we will look further into it. Apart from that, rest assured that we can serve you in fluent English, German and Japanese if you give our products a try.
Still doesnt work. Im using Firefox 3.0 Beta. Also tried it in IE, still no dice.
Atleast give a direct link to the English site or have a splash page to choose a language instead of taking it fully to Japanese.
Languge option works for me, OK it's a USA flag to click and not a Union Jack, but i still see a site in English.
Wierd, I dont know what you are clicking on but the US flag has a link to http://www.ageet.com/us/ and if you click on that it reverts back to Japanese in both IE and FF for me.
I'm sorry, raaj, but unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce your problem using FF 2, IE 6 and 7, Opera and Safari (minor template quirks) from work and home. I haven't tested Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8 though as we simply can't support any beta versions. Please have a look at
http://www.ageet.com/us/products-agephone-mobile.htm
for some information about our softphone and go to
http://www.ageet.com/us/download.htm
to download either of our products in a free trial version. Please also clear your browser cache and cookies if you haven't done so already. I hope that this works for you, but if not: The /us/ always turns any page into English if a translation is available. Please let me know if anybody else is having trouble with changing the languages on the page.
AgePhone Mobile
This is the best voip sw I have tried for Windows Mobile.
I have tried:
iFon
SJPhone
Xlite
internal WM6 using Schap settings
Fring
Skype
plus others I forgot.
It displays well on my HTC Advantage with RealVGA at 128dpi, call quality is good, integrates with contacts, works well with my BT headset and is generally slick. Highly recomended, and I don't work for them...

Trick Question, you cant
Is there anyway to choose the codec used, or is it done automatically? I'm running it on a 200MHz phone, and the audio quality was a bit choppy. I checked the server log and it shows capability for g.711u only, but I see on the website that gsm is also available.
Thanks.
bluetooth head does not work on my orbit 2, and the voice comes out of the back speaker as with all the other voip software.
is there something i have done wrong.
@ayking: The codec gets selected automatically and on mobile devices we usually force GSM. You can override the settings in the INI files. Just go to "My Documents / My Phone Booth" and take a look at the sipd.conf. You can find the codec settings under the "General" section as
MediaTypes = 3 0 8 101
where
0 = G.711u
3 = GSM
8 = G.711a
101 = DTMF setting (ignore)
Sometimes this might come out as
MediaTypes = 0 3 8 101
in which case you should change it to the first version that prefers GSM. In general, please try to raise the the jitter buffer in the programs audio settings to 240ms and see if that improves things. If it doesn't help you can also experiment with "OutBufferCnt = 3" in the INI under "Audio". I hope this fixes the choppiness.
@itolson: No, you haven't done anything wrong and neither is it our fault. Most HTC devices simply don't support routing the audio to the earphone speaker and thus you always end up hearing it through the external one. We are keeping an eye on any developments that have been able to fix this for some Japanese WM devices already. That is because contrary to the HTC guys who don't even bother answering our mails Sharp has been a bit less secretive and told us the DeviceIoControl ID of their device so that we could fix the speaker settings.
As for Bluetooth, there is no support for it in the current version of AGEphone and thus you can only use your headset if you use a little hack. Search the forums for "BTAudioToggle.exe" and start it before you make a call with AGEphone. It enables all audio to be routed through the BT headset and also allows you to use the headset microphone. You can automate this process with AGEphone under "Settings - Other" where you can enter "BTAudioToggle.exe" to get started when a call connects and to get disconnected when your call ends. I hope this is of any help until we add official support.
has the software been tested with a connection over gprs / 3g / hdspa or only with wifi?
Is there support for going through the operator proxy ? (there are operators with unlimited 3g plans that only work using the operators proxy)
@trv: We have tested our AGEphone with WiFi, 3G, HSDPA and PHS (EDGE equivalent) and it worked fine on all of them. PHS / EDGE can be a bit borderline though and we didn't include it in our requirements for that reason. It's more than worth a try though.
As for the proxy support, it depends solely on your provider: If they decided to use their proxy to block VoIP traffic you can make AGEphone work only over a VPN or otherwise encrypted connection. Please feel free to try our test version with your provider to see if it works.
Agephone codecs
Falk,
You say you force GSM codec, I see that is that one selected on my implementation. Forgive newby questions, but by GSM do you mean AMR, or AMR-WB with a 16kHz sample? G.711 is an extremely simple algorithm from (1972?) so is not very bandwidth efficient. I'm wondering if there is a route to the high quality sound I get with my laptop/WiFi Voip implementation with my pda over HSDPA using some of the newer bandwidth efficent packet loss tolerant codecs like iLBC, G.729, G.722.2 etc, which I see you have on your desktop version? Is the limit processing complexity in the pda? I know my service provider voiptalk supports iLBC, G.729 and G.722. I know there are license issues with G.729, but not iLBC.
Surely the latest devices (mine has a 624MHz X-Scale, 256M Rom and 128M RAM) could run the advanced codecs? I understand Skype uses their own special sauce, but based on iLBC.
I would really appreciate your expert input here.
Sorry to dive in to all this, but xda-developers is a 'pushing the boundry' type forum!
James
WOW, not to sure about all this, set up servers, limited to 1 minute, have to buy the software. Want to use it for free, then you have to go out and sell the software yourself? Whats next, make money selling the software by having your own sales team? I see another "Work from home" pyramid scheme coming on here, just my skeptical point of view here. I think I'll stick with skype for now, especially since i can answer the call from my home phone, computer, or pda phone since any of these can be logged on at the same time.
@iscajames: Don't be sorry - that's what the thread is there for and I hope that I can answer all your questions! So let's get started: When I wrote GSM I did indeed mean AMR 8 KHz. Right now we limit our AGEphone to ARM and G.711 for simplicities sake and to keep the SIP stack small and efficient. You are right again when you suspect that some of the other codecs put a lot of stress on mobile CPUs, but that is not the main reason.
Codecs like AMR-WB and G.729A cost a lot of initial and licensing fees and so far we simply could not integrate them because of that. We are, however working on a solution to that right now and you might see some additional codecs in our product in the future. iLBC would be possible even now and the only reason so far was that it would add some size and hasn't been requested much by our customers.
I will talk it with our programmers again and see if we can find a good solution for this. I think that iLBC might be a good addition for now - be it for some providers that support it or people using AGEphone in P2P mode.
@NiteStalker: Let me explain a bit to clear up the whole thing for you: First off, this is no pyramid scheme or get "rich with software" scheme. We just thought that it might be a nice idea to reward the people that are helping us to bring our AGEphone a bit further. It's not more than those two licenses that I spoke about in the first post.
And if you use a SIP-softphone then of course you have to register with a SIP-server in order to place your calls. You are also registering with the Skype network anytime you log on. The only difference is that YOU chose the server and by that get much cheaper prices than Skype could ever offer.
They give their software away for free because they hope to hook you up with their service. ageet doesn't offer any phone service. Just see us as a vendor whom you buy your phone from. Without a provider it's nearly worthless as you can just use it in peer to peer mode.
If Skype does what you want to do and does so for a good price then there is no need to use our software. For many people though being locked down to just one network, having to put up with a crappy PPC version, financing Ebay's wish to make some money out of their billion dollar buy ain't all that great and for those AGEphone Mobile might be worth a try

[APP] Co-Ordinates Application - Final [updated now for droid too]

Hi All Site Engineers out there,
I had searched for ages to find an app for windows mobile devices that quite simply calculated either new grid co-ordinates from a know point given its bearing and distance or to calculate a bearing and distance given two known points.
I had written a program for a personal computer using (BASIC) but why carry a phone and a computer with you on a building site!
I couldnt find one that was simple, meaning less mistakes when "in the field", so Gino wrote me one. Feel free to download, use and change. Many thanks to GinoAMalone for this simple app, so please donate to either him or XDA of course
The app has a simple home screen giving you 3 choices:
1. New Co-ords Calculator
2. Distance & Bearing Calulator
3. Pythag Calculator
The app is tested on Touch Cruise 6.0 & 6.1, Prophet 6.1. & Blackstone 6.1 & 6.5, Touch Pro & HD2.
Other devices not tested so please give feed back & Screen shots to come.
UPDATE: December 2010: This App has now been written for Android also, please head over to this for info and give thanks to Captainkrtek & Scary Alien
How's this...
Here's a first pass at the app. This sounded like an interesting challenge and something to get me started learning more of WinMo programming. This is my second or third app for .Net. This is written in C# and should only need CF .Net 2.0.
I still need to clean up some rough edges. Right now it doesn't do anything about formatting the output how you requested and most input errors will cause it to crash.
I'm not sure if it's using the same distance algorithms you used. I got my code from http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html and http://bryan.reynoldslive.com/post/...2c-Cardinal-Direction2c-Distance2c-and-C.aspx. The algorithm I used is called the spherical law of cosines on the first link.
But, let me know if it looks like the sort of thing you need. I'll PM you with my email address.
Thanks,
Gino A...
Update [20 mins later]: I had a boneheaded mistake in the CAB. Fixed now.

Hey Gino,
THanks for the app. have given it a test and come up with error on coords and vector parts:
"latitude value cannot be greater than 90"
ALso suggestion, can you also have metres and millimetres as units too? sounds daft maybe, but if working out bearings and new co-ords for setting out a building units would be in metres or mm. This woud prob explain the latitude error.
Also when im inputting in the bearing how should it be inputted? like this: 95'32'25' ?? or have you done in decimal.
Ok, after thought. I know the reason why the latitude error occurs, its beacuse the co-ords input is in degrees, minutes, seconds. I would need an option for co-ords based in meters for example, easting=500.735 northing=345.321 This is important when calculating results for buildings setting out. Can you please put an option in for this, or even purely base the program in metres/mm rather then degress. Obviously the bearing would still need to be in degree, minutes & seconds.
Thanks Gino, the app looks great and im sure with minor tweaks you will have it running in no time!
What about a simple GPS related program which allows you to put in waypoints? It'll give you the distance, heading, etc.. Most of them you can also do offsets of X distance and Y heading, etc..
They do not imply having or using the GPS. Generally you turn the GPS on if needed, but you could use the coordinate related stuff without it.

Khaytsus thanks for your thoughts. I dont think the GPS is the way to go with this. Yes it would calculate distance and bearing, but i need to input grid line references (co-ords) like 500 metres east, 200 metres north. the calculations in my basic code are based on a 2d grid line system. the app would not need to to use gps. Sometimes when working out co-ors or bearing and distance for setting out a building, the distance from 2 given points could be 100 metres but anything as little as 3 metres. GPS may not provide 1mm accuracy.
If my code was used in the app, it would work, i know it does as i have used it many times before. dont think about curvature of the earth or lon & lat think more grid lines like a flat map. see next post for example.
BASIC - code
Ok my BASIC code below, also attached is a simple (apols) jpeg of what the app should be doing. You will see a red house situated in a grid line system, with its grid co-ords above the relevant point. Hope this is of some help to Gino and anyone else

330 End
please note symbol "~" means to the power of (could not find the proper symbol on my keyboard)
also DMS$ = degrees minutes seconds (the new bearing should be displayed in this format, not in decimal)

Aha, okay. I was thinking larger scale, less precision, etc. I have to 'deal' with northings and eastings every time I look up benchmark documentation and I always have to figure out how to convert it.. Grid, datum, etc..
Hi Guys,
Any updates? Please dont think im impatient, im certainly not, just willing to help in anyway i can

I didn't get as much time last weekend to make progress as I hoped. I did do some cleanup of the UI and add several more units. I believe there are no more circumstances where poorly formatted input causes crashes. I also eliminated the "calculate" button and have it calculate whenever enough info is available. The biggest motivator for this was so the UI works fine with a SIP open.
I still need to look at formatting the output and spend some time with your algorithm.
Thanks for the challenge. this is working as an excellent vehicle for me to learn about .Net CF programming.

Gino,
Thanks for the heads up, the app is comin on great. Did you understand my rarther poor explanation of what i meant about inputting the grid line co-ords and did my crude diagram help? I am very thankful and glad i am able to help stimulate you grey cells Get back if i can be of any help please.
Hi All,
Does anyone else want to have a go at this, seems to have fallen by the wayside
As stated in the first post, i will help in any way i can, test and donate of course!
Good luck!
Take a look at this try.

Gino,
Well done my friend, i think you have cracked it. I will test it for accuracy when at work monday with results i know are correct (simple tests like 500.000E & 200.00 N with bearing 90 and distance of 100) work fine.
I see the bearing is entered in decimal, which is not a problem, but it is favourable to enter it in DMS (saves having to calculate this before hand) for example 45o30'00'' (which is 45.500 in decimal)
Really brilliant and im very pleased, let me know if the DMS thing is possible? Cheers Gino.
The labeling of the bearing fields isn't entirely clear. But, it's looking for Degrees, Minutes and Seconds.
I'm pretty sure I'm doing the DMS conversion correctly, but don't trust it till you've tested it. Let me know if it's right.
Thanks.
Gino,
Many thanks my friend, the app with the bearings works very well (dms works). One final thing, could you set the eastings and northings to be rounded up to 3 decimal places for example 500.216 and not 500.21578767.
That would make the app perfect
Well done, you know there is market for this app if you are interested?
I rounded all outputs to three digits.
I've also put a BSD license on this. So, you're free to share it with others if you want. Also, they'd be free to make changes.
If anyone wants to tip me for it, I won't object.
I can't figure out how to do the cute little PayPal button in an XDA post. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=3275014
Congrats to a sucessful app Gino, get that button working and i will happily donate!! I will have a look and see if i can get it working for you!
I too am a site engineer and produced an excel spreadsheet to calculate bearing and distance about 10 years ago. I have just tested and it works on the touch pro so I have attached it here in case it is of use to you.

Kool, nice one Dougalls!! the more the merrier!! Have you tested Gino's app? I did some brief testing and it appeared to give accurate results, but test it and let me know on here please!

Applications/Software to track Data/Voice/Txt Usage???

Hi everyone!
My first thread in this wonderful XDA community! Let me start by thanking everyone for being so great! Not only are the custom ROMs/apps/themes for my Elfin and Diamond are amazing, but the support and kindness of everyone here is AWSOMER! I get warm fuzzies when I visit these forums!
Ok I digress! So My first question: does anyone know of a good application that monitors data usage, minute usage (supporting free weekends and evenings, and my10 free calls), txt messaging, etc?
I used Phone Dashboard on the Elfin but with no Today screen since I use manilla, a today screen utility is useless ! As far as I know SPB wireless monitor is pretty powerful for data monitoring, but as of yet I cannot find an easy (LCMinutes scares me!), powerful and all inclusive program to make sure I stay in the confines of my plans preventing overage charges!
Any help would be appreciated, and though it is no easy undertaking I am sure, I think a lot of people would benefit from a Phone Dashboard type app that works on the HTC devices and they would of course support the developer for their efforts! I'd way rather give me money to the devs here than to the greedy wireless operators!
SPB wireless monitor is amazing for data tracking with good breakdowns of usage, and reminders. and very simple to use
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/wirelessmonitor/
for minute tracking you might want to just try google
i'm sure theirs something out there
Help, I'm desperate!
Yeah Wireless Monitor is perfect for data! I agree
But I have searched for months now and can't find anything, through google or otherwise for a good app that tracks voice usage.
LCMinutes had hope but it requires Microsoft NET CF 2.0 which causes Manilla to crash since CF 3.5 is already installed. So that's a no go!
Dashboard was amazing for the Elfin but only works as a home screen plugin so it is a no go with TF3D.
Pocketbill didn't work reliably
Smaatocost has dead download links and is nonexistent it seems.
So i was wondering if someone from XDA has a solution or could come up with an easy one. My ideal app would be one that could accomodate free evenings and weekends, and free calls to my10 (certain numbers are always free). I have searched all over the place and come up short so I could really use the community's help. Am I correct that there is nothing that will work with the Diamond? Someone please prove me wrong!
Thanks in advance!

LOTTO for WinMobile (REQ)

Hello Dev`s i have a request and idea about app if anyone like the idea can create app like this:
Im talking about Lotto for Windows Mobile 6.X WVGA VGA etc
One litle application with beautyfull interface
How to work:
By scanning the past draws, this program can detect patterns and calculate probability to predict the next set of numbers. After each draw, new numbers are added and considered for the next draw. The Picks can be exported to a text file.
For example, Lotto649 has 6 balls, 1-49. With 2200 past draws imported into this program, 5 lines were purchased to test the new version,
So i know its hard and i dont ask you to give me the lotto winning numbers but sometimes when you play lotto and you don`t know any numbers and you are pissed of you can try playing with this litle app... also will be easy to be used worldwide i mean for example if the file with all draws is some kind txt file so im in Bulgaria and here we have too 6/49 so i can download all draws in the past 5 years for example and transfer them to the app, everyone will be able to set the application depending of what lotto he wana play..
i found already app like this but is very OLD designed for WM 5 non touch screen and the interface look really bad.. http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?productId=120196&platformId=30
If anyone like the idea is up to you.
probablitity and statistics, and perhaps a tiny bit of chaos theory. In the long run you will probally spend as much on lotto tickets as you win. By developing this program you're stating that lottery numbers can be calculated via an algorithm and thus defeating the purpose of the lottery being random.
I don't think chaos theory is that easy to calculate lol...
i'm not putting you down or something, but i suggest you start on a smaller scale, like the output of sets of numbers followed by an algorithm to predict the next set of numbers and growing from there. try programming in java i suppose GO GO GO! time to go take my engineering final
Like i say i know this already and of course its not easy and i dont think that someone will make a software everytime i play lotto to know all the numbers the point was that this app can be something like fun tool for example of course i dont trust to this apps but sometimes you are going to play numbers and you dont have any numbers in your head then probably you can use app like this and to play lotto with this numbers.
Have few options the one alogithm to calculate the numbers from 1 to 49 how many times they appaear in the draws for example in the last 5 years but this is not working because for example 21 appear alot more times than all other but like you say its a chaos so this time 21 will not appear again because he already did so many times...
I think better variant is algorithm to calculate combinations of 6 numbers NOT only witch numbers appear mostly but Combination for example if appear the number 21 then have big chance to appear in the same draw 27 this is just example.. im talking about a pattern of 6 numbers combination, i think this is more corect calculating because if we chek for the last 10 years the numbers of course we can`t do it without a program but if we have a program like this we can see some pattern im not saying that this patern is 100% sure and you will WIN but its good to have it..
By this pattern i mean for example when appear the number 21 in the draw and the algoruthim to chek this that 70% of the draws for the last 5-10 years when the number 21 appear 70% from the times appear too the number 27 so for this im talking about.
On the final i will say again THIS APP IS FOR FUN when you wana PLAY LOTTO and you dont have in your head any NUMBERS.
Sorry, but your idea of stochastic is wrong. The draws are independant from each other. Impossible to predict.
Dont think, that programmers are as bad in math to waste there time building such an application.
Before answering, please consider to look in some stochastic books
