SMS Fun Tool

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks anyway.
Very nice tool

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

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

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

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

Source code for phone pad?

Hello people. I have tried phone pad (the htc touch design) day for two weeks now, and I have an idea to optimize it to be more user friendly, so I will be glad if someone can give me a link to the source code so I can begin to work on it. Its ok with a old version, better than start from the scracth .

This will be GREAT!! Im not a programmer but Im a big fan of phone pad!! How can i help you? Will the cab file be of useful?
Guys please do help if u can!!
Cheer!!

The Phone Pad app is developed by HTC. As a proprietary app, source code is not available. The customized phone pads that are circulating around the forums were made by using a PE resource editor such as Resource Hacker to change the .bmp images of the phone pad. This way one can modify the look of the application without having access to source. Making any real changes to the internals of the application would be considerably harder and likely impossible.

if u were to rebuild it, i will gladly assist u in the graphic and testing with both wm5 and m6.

What´s the Programming Language of PocketCM

First Sorry for my little question..
i hope anybody knows that (or the developer of PocketCM say it to me )
What is the programming language the PocketCM (i.e. also the ImageViewer) is developed?
Is there a way to get a litte outtake from the sourcecode of the imageviewer? (the parts of moving the picture.. i looks so pretty "real"!!) i like that
thanxx 2 @ll

yes i wish there were more open source project in here.
but i think the developers need the donations. (not bad meaning)
are there some other open source (vb.net) projects?
is there a gesture ocx for example?

Opensource is good..
but you also have to further think if all our project are OpenSource, there will be more and more individual versions of the same program and at the end, nobody knows what is the right version.. so we have a "program - chaos"
but i think to get help for selfprogramming is not wrong.
I only want to know, how the routine of the imageviewer works to slide the picture, or the kinetic sliding of PocketCM
And i´m interessted in the programming language, which the pocketCM is developed in

The developpers aKa on XDA is Tene.
His site is www.pocketcm.com

I wonder if there is a way to use something like PocketCM to overtake Outlook or at least manipulate it. Outlook is very basic and it would make sense to have something like PocketCM if it is good for SMS why not e-mail?

ImageViewer (like Contact and Keyboard) is a C++ application. They all share the PocketCM Framework.
And sorry, it's unlikely to become open-source.
For achieving something like that, just try, it's always the same: start from a blank sheet, draw the required stuff when it's required... then optimize, optimize, and optimize again.

thank you tene
but great respect for that you created
Do you use c++ .net or another IDE?

that's the same problem like everywhere. (roadrunner or cpos for example(carpc soft))
but the chief developer can manage the versions or you download only his version.
i think there are so many good idears out there.
now i am searching an example for read in all contacts into a listbox (vb.net).
but i can't spy anywhere...
well, my project is opensource

[dev] "fake call" freeware [coding]

Attention:
The Release is Here
I do alot of skinning but finally decided to jump in and try and actually create my own program, and i need a little help
Some of you may be familiar with trinket softwares "fake call." If not you can do a quick read up with this link.....
http://www.trinketsoftware.com/FakeCall/
I am in the middle of developing something similar but a freeware version (if you didn't know the software isn't freeware any longer) I had put a very basic but working program together in basic4ppc, i then found out i had to buy the software to compile the program. Since i already own visual studio 2008 i decided i would go ahead and try to rewrite my program in vs.
I have completed my design, but i need help with the code....
i need a help with-
"sound" - i obviously need to be able to play sound, i have looked in ms help in vs and they provide some keywords but i am getting errors when i debug.....
-how to load images from an xml file- (in need code for the call)
These will all get me rolling and allow me to release a beta......
I'm getting closer and closer
Because everyone has a different dialer or "incoming call screen," i have decided the best way to go about your fake call is to allow people to select a screen shot and a sound of their choice, creating a very customized realistic experience for every phone (as it would look just like the dialer on your phone) without having to input an obsessive amount of information. (caller name, picture, ect..)
thanks for your help in advanced
THANKS TO-
MRABIE
Attention:
The Release is Here

Wow, this is great. Ya, since fake call is no longer free this is a very amazing idea. I know a lot of people here will help you. We just have to wait. =)

Great idea, I downloaded that app a while ago when it was posted and was rather disappointed to find out it was fake freeware. A couple of suggestions, the aforementioned app would use the default ringer. The suggestion seems pretty simple from a logistics point of view but may be more difficult to program than I would imagine, when selecting a person with a ringer other than default associated use that one. Maybe have a call timer that will stay up and count until the end button is tapped. Hope this helps.

I didn't realize that the other software had gone commercial. Thanks for stepping up!!

bump............

What programming language are you using, considering Visual Studio supports several.
In vb.net your Wait method could be replaced by Sleep(milliseconds). Documentation. I am not sure, however, it this method is included in the compact framework, assuming that's the one you are using. Hope this helps somehow.
Full .Net documentation can be found here.

I am using .net but may consider rewriting again later after getting a release to rid the program of dependacy on the .net framework.
I Have updated the list, as i have gotten some stuff already figured out thanks to different people on the forums, THANK YOU
If you guys can help me out with this other stuff it would be greatly appreciated

Whoa!

thanks for posting.

just as a reference, there's something called DOWNCALL which is free and simple.
edit: my bad, this calls someone at a scheduled time.. doesn't fake a call.

this is nice of trinket but will only last until the 24, and is really only supposed to be for our webpage.
UPDATE:
i'm working on xml now
still need help with sound

did this die out or is it still in development?

[HELP NEEDED] Cool User Interface

Hi all,
I'd like to write some apps for mobile but I don't know how to have a "cool" (you know what i mean, iPhone like) interface instead of the flat one offered by .NETCF controls.
Please, help me or give me suggestions about where to find nice controls such as buttons (like the one used in phone dialers etc), scrollers, and so on.
Thanks,
Sergio

so are you asking for help with graphics and layouts? send me a pm. id love to work on some UI stuff.

heres several to choose from.
Free:
Manila Interface SDK:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566188
Silvermoon: http://silvermoon.codeplex.com/
Fluid: http://fluid.codeplex.com/
Commercial:
RescoeMobileforms toolkit: http://www.resco.net/developer/mobileformstoolkit/overview.aspx
Mirabyte Touchcontrols: http://www.mirabyte.com/en/products/windows-mobile/touch-controls-suite-for-netcf/information.html

Hi all and thanks a lot.
@Ren13B : I have just downloaded fluid, but i have serious problem on creating controls at runtime (no designer or my mistake) so if you have experience i'd like to see some rough/basic example code for vb.net
@S.V.I : I'm at office, when I return home I'll send you a P.M., thanks and see you soon!

I could help you with some graphics as well .
If you want, PM me.

I took a peak at the fluid demo application but never really tried using the controls in any of my projects. I think the developer has stopped working on it and is concentrating on silvermoon now. There's a forum section there so you may want to add a post there to see if anyone can help you.
Im waiting and hoping one of these days Microsoft will bless us with some finger friendly mobile controls. Perhaps the next .net compact framework will provide this but they arent releasing any information about it so who knows what it will provide.
