I'm just a newbie here on the board as well as a user of an O2 XDAII.
I would just like to ask if anybody have made a stop-watch or timer software that could be installed on the XDAII?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, actually I have as my first attemt at a .Net CF application.
It is a very simple stopwatch/strokecount application. If you want it, I can upload it.
That was a quick reply... please do upload it. If it is not a hassle, can you also indicate on how do I load it....I am really very new with my new toy..it's too high tech for my existing knowledge. TIA Kim
Now, as you will be able to see, it is an application in a very rough stage. AND there is a little thing that is not implemented (Save splits).
What you do is you unpack the zip file to a folder on your harddrive. Then you uploade the exefile to your XDA II using ActiveSync and Explore. (You just press the explore button in ActiveSync and you can copy/paste the .exe file to your device there.)
You can put the exefile anywhere, but you have to your Explore on your XDA II to execute the file. (I think you can make the program show in programs by placing a link in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder)
Now, in order to use the app, here is a little explanation of the buttons.
Time gives you the pace of your presses. You have to press this button 3 times before you get a result. It gives you the number of presses you would have if you continued for 1 minute. (Used in rowing and swimming)
Then you have your start/stop button, and a split button. And the reset, just clears the boxes. Unfortunatly I have not made it pause. When you stop the watch, it starts from 0. This will be in another release
Hope you can use it, and do not hesitate to come with some surgestions.
Oh, and by the way, if you have .Net framework 1.1 installed on your pc, you can try out the application on that too....
You can also try these freewares:
Pocket Counter
StopTime
You may find them in the PocketPCFreewares site
tnx to you two
I don't know what else you are adding to the app but I would suggest button mapping.

You could look at Spb Time - multiple up and down timers, very nice.

Actually that was part of my first alpha version made in eVC++ 4.0. But after switching over to C# and .Net I haven't gotten around to it. BUT it is going to be in there.
anyone know a stopwatch for the wizard - supporting wm5?
thx
I asked a few days back if this was possible and ended up e-mailing back and forth with a guy at TAO and he showed me how to do it after we figured out that the wizards java manager could handle it.
This is what he told me (I'll explain it all afterwards):
-r"<suite>","<vendor>","<name>"
where:
<suite> is the name of the MIDlet suite and can be obtained from the
MIDlet-Name line in the jad file.
<vendor> is the name of the MIDlet vendor and can be obtained from the
MIDlet-Vendor line in the jad file.
<name> is the name of the MIDlet and can be obtained from the first
parameter to the relevant MIDlet-<n> line in the jad file.
the shortcut to the manager program is \windows\jmm.exe, so a specific link would be \windows\jmm.exe -r"<suite>","<vendor>","<name>"
To find all of the information you need, you need the .jar or .jad file on your computer.
1. Open the .jar(.jad) file with winrar or 7zip or other unzipping program
2. Open the META-INF folder
3. Open the MANIFEST.MF file with a document viewer, I used wordpad.
Here's what google local gave me: I've bolded what you need to know
Manifest-Version: 1.0
MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.0
MIDlet-Name: Google Local
Created-By: 1.5.0_04-b05 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.2
MIDlet-Vendor: Google
MIDlet-1: Google Local, GoogleMapsIcon.png, com.google.googlenav.Googl
eNav
MIDlet-Version: 1.0.0
MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-2.0
4. Create a shortcut to the java manager(\windows\jmm.exe) on your ppc and open it for editing. I used Total Commander for this.
5. Remember that the shortcut has to be in -r"<MIDlet-1>","<MIDlet-Vendor>","<MIDlet-name>", so here, the full path should be \Windows\jmm.exe -r"Google Local","Google","Google Local"
6. Now you can link that to a button or put it in a launcher. When activated, the link will open the manager first, then the midlet.
Opera mini is \Windows\jmm.exe -r"Opera Mini","Opera Software ASA","Opera Mini"
I dont know how to link icons, so if someone could help me with that, I'd appreciate it. Now, all the links have the MIDlet manager icon.
I'd also love to hear what other cool midlets people are using.
Excellent information! Now I can link to Google Local from my Today screen with Pocket Plus!
Brilliant! I was looking for this exact information . Checked around on the Tao site but didn't find any documentation.
Changing the icon is done by adding the following to the end of the shortcut:
?\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe,0
The number is the n'th icon in the .exe file find out which using a resource hack tool. But it's usually 0 or one of the first ones, so simply try it out a few times. The two midlets I have come with their own icon displayed in the manager, and I found this file as a PNG image inside the Application Data directory, under Tao and then ever deeper down you'll find it.
But using png as icon didn't work for me. I'm guessing it needs to be converted to ICO or even BMP. Haven't had time to try that out yet.
And for the last part of your post, these are the cool midlets I'm using
Opera Mini - http://opera.mini.com (You obviously know this one)
MidpSSH - http://xk72.com/midpssh (Excellent freeware SSH client)
works with newmenu by saman as well thanks for the tip.
btw any more cool midlets for ppcs? the only thing i have so far is opera :|
I noticed the shortcut only works if you've run the applet atleast once. Otherwise only Midlet Manager opens up. Not really a big deal though
Question?
Is there a way to do this with IBM's Java Midlet Manager. I tried the syntax listed here and it doesn't work. It opens up the midelet manager, then closes right away.
BTW, this thing is case sensitive. I tried GMail and it didn't work.
This is for Gmail. Copy paste and enjoy.
46#"\Windows\jmm.exe" -r"Gmail", "Google", "Gmail"

It would seem that you need to have opera mobile installed for this to work though right?

Did you ever figure this out? I'd like to know how to get it to work.
Anyone managed to do this on esmertec's java manager because this does NOT work:
"\Windows\jeodek.exe" -r"Gmail", "Google", "Gmail"

The answer to your question is HERE
You have to thank the author of the article and the great Menneisyys for posting the link in this post
Bye
(Hopefully) final MIDlet Bible main feature & hack & standards compliance chart published!
It was yesterday that I’ve published a larger excerpt from my forthcoming MIDlet Bible (a full roundup & tutorial explaining what MIDlets are, why you would want to run them, what applications there are to do this etc.), focusing on mostly 3D games. I haven’t been lazy in the meantime: I’ve made some serious updates to the main feature & hack & standards compliance chart of the Bible. The reason I’m posting it as a preview is pretty simple: it will still take me some two or three days to completely finish and, finally, publish the MIDlet Bible. In the meantime, however, you can already check out the new chart. I’m absolutely sure you’ll find it useful if you’re into gaming or running probably the, after Opera Mobile, second best Web Browser for Windows Mobile, Opera Mini 4 beta 2. Or, alternatively, the really unique and useful Gmail MIDlet, which is far more usable than any other Windows Mobile mailer tool.
I’ve, as has already been stated, greatly enhanced the previous version published over a month ago. I’ve added discussions of ClearType / font smoothing, automatic network connection, proxies, text input fields / areas etc. and I’ve even published the source code (!) of some of my test MIDlets I’ve written specifically for these tests. (I’m a Java pro.)
The chart is HERE, should you want to check it out before I, finally, publish the MIDlet Bible.
Comments are REALLY welcome!
Try this:
60#"\Windows\jmm.exe" -r"Opera Mini","Opera Software ASA","Opera Mini"
my opera mini link works great using jbed and the permissions fix, BUT...
I want to know if it is possible to make a link to a page (favorite/speedial #1) within opera. I have some shortcuts for PIE (default browser) on my today screen and wondered if I could do the same with opera pages without opera being my default browser. I have seen some shortcut creators that look interesting, but I am not sure about what path this link would need.
Any ideas?
thanks

I can't get my Opera link to work using jbed, where do you get the permissions fix... maybe that's my problem?
I'm using:
60#"\Windows\jbed.exe" -r"Opera Mini","Opera Software ASA","Opera Mini"
jbed permissions fix is at the bottom of this page...
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html
Does anyone have this working with the ne Opera Mini 4.1? Latest Jbed.
hey can someone turn this into english for me haha sorry. i wanna get opera 4.1 shortcut into launcher. im not good at this stuff unless there is a step by step for dummies
I downloaded the latest 4.1 and it works great... Because I downloaded the new version before I deleted the previous version, I had to change my shortcut to point to r1 not r0. The new version has permissions fix already added I believe.
Everything is working brilliantly
Hi, I would extract the task switch and "alt-tab" included in spb pocket-plus... I think that it's the best, but the entire suite is too big.. about 4,5MB. Anyone can tell me a way for do that.
Does anyone had already tried to do somethings like this...
Thanks

Install Pocket Plus trial.
Activate the 'alt-tab' program.
Isolate it.
Remove Pocket Plus.

What do you mean with "isolate it"?
It's possible to make a separated cab with this? I would built it in on my ext ROM.

Here Check this, I just packed that into cab from my ROM's OEM Package.
It will assign the voice button to alttab
WORKING CAB
I have rebuild your cab because the link inside was corrupted.
I've tried it, and works... perhaps when you invoke the app,it switch directly to the next switch. With SPB ALT-TAB you can see all apps opened, and also select with finger what do you want to restore... It's so cool.
All the other that I've seen, switch directly to next apps like your.
Then here it is, the Spb One:
ANyway in spb plus option there is an option to remove unused component
see in start-setting-system-spb pocket plus
click tools and click uninstall component
It's just an .exe file I copied to my windows directory, created a shortcut and maped it to my ptt button. worls as a standalone app like a charm.
Yes...I have tried too and works great.
It's wonderfull
Thanks.
I've installed on my PDA, it looks very nice!
In the beginning; I couldn't found it. It doesn't make automatically a shortcut to Programs. So I made it and made a shortcut too in the Traylaunch of Battery Status and as first shortcut in START. Where did you made shortcuts to this program?
Its cool~
And how about a soft-reset short-cut??
SPB Pocket Plus Voice Command Functions
Well, this thread already solved my Alt-Tab need from SPB. Has anybody been able to get the Voice Command functions to work without SPB fully installed?
I'm a voice command fan and use it constantly with a bluetooth head set. It was great to just say: "Start - Suspend" after ending a call and the phone would go into standby or "Start - Screen saver" and the screen would turn off when I'm on WIFI downloading something and want to save some battery life. I looked for these on SPB Mobile Shell and aren't available.
Anybody solved this?
maybe this is interesting for you:
MSCEInf is a nice tool which lets you analyze every .cab file:
it shows you all files, all directories and registry entries. and you can extract single files if you want.
with it i simply extracted the alttab.exe file from pocketplus and copied it on my ppc. so i didn't need to install the app.
A little more help
Ok, I could consider myself a power user, but I'm not at that level just yet. (better said, I gotta long way to go)
I got the software, I was able to Identify the executioner which would be spbservices.exe, now, how do I pull it out? Would I need to modify any registry?
Thanks
this one is really easy:
just drag&drop the cab file into the WinCE Cabs Analyser. then go to the "files" tab (if it is named so. i use the german build) and in the list with the file id 20 there is a "alttab.exe".
one simply drag&drop and you have your file ^^
I'm getting there
Trust me, it'll be easy for me after this last question:
Where do I drag and drop it? I select it and drop it in which folder? As of yet it's not working. I tried selecting it and dropping it over any other folder in Windows and it tells me it's unable to read the file, i've tried it on a browsing folder on my PPC and it doesn't answer anything, nor do anything.
Thanks for your patience.
Thanks man!
I was looking for quick-Alt-Tab applications. wunderfull....
Guys, is this copyrighted software? If so, please remove it from the thread.
We don't support piracy on this board. I will be forced to evacuate my bowels on those that are assisting and persisting. We ban first and ask questions later.

Try this one, works on my Triny
posting here as well as general thread in the hope anyone with c++ skills can assist i am aware that badbob001 has managed this with the mort based version, but was hoping someone could help with the c++
chrisd1a1 said:
both the Mort and the C++ work in the same way. click on an email link and the script auto opens jbed and the 4.1 midlet.
is it possible by using this to auto open the midlet when jbed is selected directly?
for example, i have edited the lgmenu and set the link on my cube so the internet explorer links to jbed. this works fine but i then need to click on the 4.1 midlet to open it. so in essence its 2 presses instead of one.
this would be more effective if when we select the jbed link, 4.1 auto opens.
(yes i know a lot of folks have other midlets. but suspect there are those like me who don't)
if anyone can help edit the c++ option, (attached again) or put together a small c++ app to do this i would be grateful.
i don't use the mort version as, overall the c++ takes less space than Mortscript and the mort opera app combined on my dev.
Cheers

brain on hold this morning, setting the shortcuts directly to the app works
Hi, I'm new to the forum, and have tried to find a solution searching on it (here and on the web) to my problem, but couldn't find a thing.
Mi problem:
I've got a .NET Form with an embeded Flash 7 player (the activex using a custom AxHost class, etc. not using a browser).
Everything works like a charm.. except for the fact that I don't want the Tap-n-hold menu to pupup, because my application is based on drag and drop, and it's awful when the menu pops'up sometimes.
Has anyone tried to do this before.. and succeded?
Things I've done:
- FlashControl.Menu = false
- Hooking to the Hwnd of the control and handling WM_CONTEXTMENU
- Lots of things like hooking on my form and checking for a WM_NOTIFY
from SHRecognizeGesture or calling SHRecognizeGesture before WM_LBUTTONDOWN is invoked (silly but had to try.. dont blame me
I believe the problem is the control uses SHRecognizeGesture on WM_LBUTTONDOWN... is there a way to prevent this?
Perhaps if I could disable completely the feature in my aplication would also be nice (I don't use it at all)
Thanks in advance just for reading
Tried, but failed
Tried, failed but found a way out! Install "FlashPlayer 6" on the PDA and put a big, transparent button in the Flash application you created. Don't forget to put it in the bottom layer of course...
In FlashPlayer 6, the menu does not appear when you are clicking a flash-button.
Sadly, the FlashPlayer 6 does not support FLV-videos, so I hope you don't need to use those.
You can find FlashPlayer 6 on http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/pocketpc/2002.html . Remove FlashPlayer 7 from your PDA and just run the executable on your PC, with your PDA attached to it.
Regards,
Daniël
