Widgets WM 6.5 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi All,
Please help! Do you know how to create widget for wm 6.5?
Do you have any idea from where to start and how to make it work?
Thanks!

I don't think the SDK is out yet but they are just like web pages. They even run inside a IE shell.

I'm no developer, but I downloaded a few sidebar apps and with just a few filename changes, I was able to get the text part of the widgets to run.
It should be pretty easy to get the images working, if a developer takes some time to look at it.

i remember having seen a video were wm6.5 was presented. The microsoft guy said that the widget engine is made by a common widget-standart so you could even use Opera or Firefox widgets ("so no secret microsoft stuff")...
But if have to tell: i understand only very little about programming so i could have got i wrong

I'm looking for cabs of the MSN weather, money and stock widgets. Anyone know where I can find them?

is there any way to modify windows xp widgets for a winmo phone?
Yoji biomehanika?

I'm surprised there has not been any developments in this thread? In the SDK there are some examples and code to create your own Widgets. Seems like a pretty simple setup.

Copy or download the file to the device or the emulator and open it.

There is no specific folder where you have to put widget files. Save the .wgt file where you want or select Open if you download it to the device.

it installs the same way cab files do, copy it to your device and run to install.

Ensure that you have the following registry key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\riapp\Shell\Open\Command]
@="wmwidgetinstaller.exe %1"
If the wmwidgetinstaller.exe is not registered the .wgt file will not be installed.

Unfortunately also the new version Windows Mobile 6.5 doesn't have a feed reader. Everyone with a Windows Mobile device sees XML code of RSS feeds. Therefore there are two options: You install a feed reader or I will modify my widget to display such feeds with the feed reader of my application.

OK, I take the second one. Thanks

Perhaps in the near future. Currently it is more important if users can install the widget on a physical device.

HTC Weather Update

Hello everybody:
When you click to update the weather HTC's Home, what program runs? What can I do to run my own script?
Thanks.
It contacts an Internet website. Don't know the name of it.
It downloads a file wich is compatible with HTC Home.
Running your own Weather Script.. Well i think you need to build your own Weather App.
The name of the site is "www.accuweather.com" but..., what is the program?
That is the question.
Thanks.

Really what I want is to find out the script that is used for upgrading from www.accuweather.com, and replace it that by my own script, made in MortScript, which updates from www.aemet.es.
Any idea?

Slide2Unlock question

I just downloaded an installed the latest version Slide2Unlock 1.21 and I also am using the newest version of iLock. I am trying to change the clock to the digital style. I downloaded the clocks pack and placed the clockHS folder in the gfx folder of Slide2Unlock. Then I read that you have to go into slidesettings.exe and tell it to use the new clock pack. Well in my Slide2Unlock folder I have no such exe file and I cant find it anywhere else on my phone. Am I missing something here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hey,
I am a bit confused. The latest version of S2U is 1.05, posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
Check that thread for lots of helpful info....
unless you are talking about some other Slide 2 Unlock program.

In your /Program Files/S2U2 folder, you should have 3 programs, ilock.exe, S2U2Settings.exe, and S2U2.exe. Inside your gfx folder you should have a folder called clockH which is your digital clock. You need to open S2U2Setings .exe and scroll down to "clock font folder", set it to option 2 which is clockH, then save your changes and restart iLock.exe. If you dont have S2U2 Settings.exe on your phone, my suggestion would be to download the lastest version of S2U2 and install it on your phone.
He simply installed the outdated S2U.
Do a search on s2u2 and you will get what you want.

Don't you think it would have been smarter to bring this question up in AC's s2u2 thread. Why would someone start a thread about something that is already on the forum. Would it not make sense that the best answer would come from the creator or those using it. Daaaahhhh, you are living up to the first part of you screen name. lol

A simple fix for OperaMini as your default Browser in Manila2D and Manila3D.

Here's a simple fix for setting up OperaMini as your default browser in both Manila2D and Manila3D. It doesn't require any editing of anything. Just drop this file into your Windows folder. It links to OperaMini assuming the ROM was built with Esmertec Java and OperaMini or that OperaMini was the first thing you installed on Esmertec Java.
I created it using an older program called LaunchPad that I found online. It basically creates executables that act like LNK files.
OperaMini
Internet Explorer
Does anyone want links to something else?
I thought I'd be used more than it was. ^_^
Oh well...

This brings up a different question. How do you create a link to a Java program so you don't have to open up Java first?
Is there a simple way to do it?

Looks like you answered faster than me. But yes, that's it. You'll also need: http://www.orbworks.com/wince/#Download
Use that software to create the links and then the links can be used after without the program.

AudioManager is not linked but embedded so this wouldn't quite work. Sorry.

Look at the first post in a few minutes to see it updated with a link to IE.
Could you make a link to Opera 9.5 on SD Card (\Storage Card\Program Files\Opera9\OperaL.exe)? Would be cool!
thank you for this.....my elf is almost complete now
I had installed one of those all-in-one opera mini cabs, so the file on the first post did not work for me. I was able to download LaunchPad and create my own working file. My question is, is there a way to open opera mini on a web page, or will it always open on that start page? The same for Skyfire, can that be opened on a web page, or just the start page?
Could you link the "audio manager" to "windows media player"? Thanks a lot! I appreciate it.

HTC touch pro 2 customisation

I looked on the internet how I could change the lay-out of my touch flo 3D interface but I only found manila.
when I installed Manila customizer it needed a newer .net- thing.
I'm not confident with pocket pc-programming but how can I instal a working manila customizer?
does someone have other programs for a nicer lay-out?
thanx
try maxmanila, i dont use it but have tried it, very customizable

Was it CF.net 3.5? That is the compact flash program from Microsoft. Do a search and you will find a download link. Many WM programs are made to work only with this program. It is free.

1. Point your mouse over the word maxmanila.
2. Double click it to highlight.
3. Right click and select copy.
4. Up at the top of this page you'll see a drop down labeled "Search"; click it.
5. In that drop down right click and select paste.
6. Hit enter.

I'm not clear on what you want to customise specifically, nor which ROM you're rocking?
