Based in part on my experimenting with OpenGL ES here, I've now written a fairly pointless application that utilises hardware accelerated graphics on devices that support it.
Notes:
Essentially, you get a coin, and you can flip it. If you hit the "enter" button, or hit "stop/centre" it'll flip the coin round to have a flat face on the front.
It can be skinned by replacing heads.bmp, tails.bmp and side.bmp with a power of 2 for the height and width of the image (preferably square).

umm... can we have a version with british 1 pound coin instead of euro?? JK. I hope that if fpsece 1.0 is going to be ever released You can try to compile a nice opengl plugin for it.
[EDIT]
ok. doesn't work on xperia stock r2a rom. untrusted certificate something sh.. oh well. good work anyway.

I couldn't find a nice picture of a pound. You can swap out the images in \Program Files\l3v5yCoinToss for anything you like (check the format of the ones there, and you should get an idea of what the new ones need to be like).

Have you relaxed the security settings on your device? (I'm guessing not...)
Have you installed the extra things (l3v5yExtendedFunctions and l3v5yOpenGLES)?
Sweet! Had something similar on my Storm, but now I've got the Touch Pro ! Always great when you don't have a coin.
Just realised I'd accidentantly linked it to GLUT|ES, without using any of the functions it provides, so it wouldn't work without glutes.dll, but didn't need it...
That's (hopefully) fixed in 0.2, which is up now...
umm... nope?
I belive that security options are well relaxed on my device, whatever it means , but to double check can You tell me what shall I look at?
also got those two cabs and will try them straight away.
thanks for answering and keep up the good work.

Do you get warnings about unsigned ... when installing cabs?
The two cabs are a requirement for this to work at all, as is a libgles_cm.dll file in \Windows
never had any warnings and all I did was just to install those two cabs, after that it simply works and works very well. the other thing is, that this app is quite pointless indeed.
anyway, good to see that some talented brains are learning to utilise opengl in our chips.

Sorry for having to install 3 cabs, it just lets me separate things so that bits like the button controls can be updated without affecting all the applications that utilise it (I have loads of half finished things that I'm gradually working through).
Also, for anyone that's interested, I've managed to get almost all of GLU|ES 1.3 running on the OpenGLES on our Diamonds... And I've also created a wrapper for setting up OpenGL at runtime which makes it much simpler to create an openGL application that works... I'll be releasing the code once I've cleaned it up, and optimised it...
as I said before - I really hope that all this research will help to write proper opengl plugin for fpsece. that would be the sweetest thing on the planet to have accelerated psx emulator on ppc.
Works pretty good on my KS20 only there seems to be some problem with the button overlays they are only shown when i move my finger over them and they are flickering

Here you go.
On the screenshot you can´t see the flickering. But I noticed that the flickering occurs on all overlays (s2u2, volume control, startmenu, etc...)
It looks like opengl es redered stuff tries to stay on top. (This happens allso on your ogles test app)
I love those days when I can add a new link to a pointless app in my start menu

I know you can download different today plug-ins, and i know about VisBar and such, but I don't see how your today screens look so different from mine (after looking at various 'today screen' threads).
My screen is just several horizontal lines, with the usual "no new messages", "active tasts", etc, and a couple of plugins.
I see people's screens with a completely different layout.
Cheers for any replies
matheprat: it might be worth reading through some of the threads on this subject, eg here:

Thanks for the link, very helpful.
How do you get rid of only the bottom toolbar in WM5? I downloaded the program that other people had used, but I could only get rid of the top bar (which i'd prefer to keep), and not the bottom one.
Cheers
matheprat: If you're referring to the program ToggleToday, I haven't released it yet for WM5, but it's coming very soon.

If you need an alternative, try Wisbar Desktop Advance.

Note: Wisbar 2 or desktop is very very laggy
Use PPX instead if you want better speed, its just as good as WisDesktop.
This is the skin I m currently using
Does PPX work on WM5? Looking on their website it doesn't mention specific compatibility, but has anyone got it runniung satisfactorily?
Cheers,
Fin
Yes, I forgot to mention PPX. It takes quite a bit of headscratching to get it set up, but it works well in the end. Never tried it on WM5.

I'm still looking for a alternative interface for my phone to operate more easily with my fingers instead of my stylus.
It's so hard to quickly find a contact in my contact list while on a bike, in my car, etc since the scrollbar is like 3 pixels wide. Or to lock the phone or close an application, the icons are to frigging small
Not that I have big hands, rather small for a guy even but still...
Any suggestions?
matheprat: not sure when it'll be released, when I get time!
I'm working on too many other things as well, it's really just when I get a few minutes to work on each bit. Hopefully release fairly soon, as I said, WM5 is done, I need to join it to my old WM2003 code and then check it against a companion today plugin I wrote. Quite a bit of behind the scenes stuff involved

I didn't mean to come accross pushy, sorry if I did. I know there's a lot of work needed in developing programs, and no doubt it will be worth it when it is released.

matheprat: no offence taken at all, didn't think you were being pushy.
ToggleToday was one of the first programs I ever wrote, and then I bought myself a Universal to start development on, but accidently wrote VJBigPhone and that kept me busy for a month or so
Now VJBigPhone has gone quiet, I'm finally getting around to re-writing ToggleToday! It's a messy program to write, particularly for dual WM5/WM2003 compatibility, but the basic code is written. Now I'm wrapping it together and will work on a GUI for it.

The MOST stable Today Information plugin eva
By the way, can someone recommend the most stable Today Information Plugin?
I was using latest PowerLevel plugin by ScaryBear but it has lots of memory allocation/deallocation problems. Then I switched to simple 15Kb "TodaysInfo" plugin by Lou Terrailloune (v1.7) and it is quite stable but it has significant rendering delays when rotating screen. So, what is the most stable/fastest one to show battery/memory levels and perhaps it can inform you when your battery charge completed (aka PowerLevel/AudioInformer)?
Thanx!!!
Sounds good - any chance of a link?
Since my next device will be an xda diamond (at least i hope ) where Today-Plugins can't be used together with TouchFlo 3D.. i've release a very early alpha version of SecondToday.
An application that behaves like the default-todayscreen. This way you can use e.g. TouchFlo 3D and all your today-plugins (wrapped by SecondToday).
Tap and Hold on a free window area will open the settings-dialog!!!
Project: http://www.chi-tai.net/tools#SecondToday
Feedback, Bug Reports, Suggestions are welcome either here or at discussion-forum http://www.chi-tai.net/discuss
if it is a useful program, then i guess there will be feedback

Hey ikarus, i'll gave your SecondToday 0.25 a shot and I'm quite impressed. I use it with the Diamond on the Left-Softkey on Hometab.
The only todayplugin I use is TodayAgenda ... there are some redrawing glitches after changing its preferences: it shows only a quarter of the screen, maybe you didn't notice this with qvga, but if I restart SecondToday everything is OK
Very nice work so far
My only wish is that I can hide the SecondToday by pressing left softkey, this would be great because i could toggle the two today screens.
will try it right now...
When I start SecondToday I get the message
Failed to load System Today-Watermark!
what the hell is the reason?
I have Bepes 0,53 ROM
i run second today with bepe's 0.53GER - rom and it works. i only need battery status to run in background to keep track of my call times and data amount, so i only switch to second today once a day or so. most of the time i have to kill and restart it to get in on screen though...
but so far: thumbs up!another great piece of work!
Some screen shots would be Amazing please?
Thanks very much.
I would reaaaally appreciate some screenshots
Also, maybe a stupid question, but that's VGA-only, right?

hm.. good question..
at first it should behave like default-todayscreen
then some features for plugin-developers are already implemented and used by BatteryStatus.
e.g. Performance features for quicker response or faster drawing like TODAYM_REQUESTREFRESH (which isn't supported by old windows mobile builds) to immediately recalculating the height..
So.. the most important feature is stability and performance.
I have some ideas to integrate trayicons, but this would only work with BatteryStatus since i don't want to hook the system or something similar only for trayicons.
And of course if you have ideas for a "better TodayScreen" then let me know hehe

Wow, just tried it, and it's really cool!
Tested it on a Wizard though
Thanks a lot fot the prog!
great tool!
tried with spb diary and works well
I like it
Great idea. This is a must for those who use other plug-ins. I'll stick with you on this one. First I installed it, however the image I use for the today background (which with FLO 3D creates the background for the start menu) also creates the background for 2ndToday, can that be individualized in the config menu with a simple browse to file type function. Be cool to have a normal flo 3d background, and a naked chick in black heels on the secondtoday screen .
2. Is there a way for a checkbox option to bind the touchflo3d right softkey to activate the secondtoday screen. Right now I use WKTask which puts the minimized icon at the top to quickly switch over. Using it on one of the launcher buttons doesn't make for a super fast switch to hide the naked chick
3. Is there an option to make the naked chick dance
Keep up the good work. Just questions, not suggestions, just glad you did it. Can't wait to see the progress.

Hey i'm quite impressed how my thread-bump worked out so far and even more impressed how fast you reacted on my suggestion great piece of software even in this early stage.
Here is my setup so far:
I made a little something for you!
Tippy is a bill splitter and tip calculator for Windows Mobile. It was designed to work on all resolutions and to never require use of the stylus.
I improved many things with v.1.1. Lots of bugs were fixed, UI was made easier to use and a big button SIP was added for number input. You should definitively update if you have 1.0!

I was affraid the demand would be too small but seeing people are interested I'll pursue development a bit.
VGA for devices is ready (Force QVGA) but it needs .net CF and I didn't want it around for a first release. I'll also add more currency symbols as suggested on another forum.
Something I did that I would like to see more often is settings saved to text files. It can be edited easily by anyone and leaves nothing after uninstall.
Thank you for sharing!
I am definately going to try this out.
Great idea!

i still haven't been able to put it on my phone, but i'll have a crack at it tonight... from the screen shot on your site... i like how the tip percentage and number of people are configured with finger friendly buttons... what do you think about adding an easier way to add the amount to tip? i don't know if you've used g-alarm... but maybe something like how you set the alarm time in that? where you have add/subtract buttons below each digit (that way u wouldn't have to bring up the keyboard).

That's interesting. I'll try G-Alarm and look for what you are talking about.
I might add a pop-up form with a keypad when you click the text box and see how this work.
I don't like the look very much so I might add a cuter UI (skinnable ) if it doesn't slow down the launch time too much.
I love the idea, and tried it. BUT the calucation is WRONG. Hope it will be fixed soon.

Oops! You are right! Once you start messing with the amount of people present it gets ugly. I'll fix that soon enough!
I don't test my apps enough
I fixed the results so they should be accurate now.
I'm currently working on a big keypad to type the amount. I will also add some languages and currencies and eventually skinnable interface.
UPDATE:
I made the following changes:
-Tip is now accurately calculated
-The amount is entered using a SIP keypad
-The + and - buttons for tip and people are now changing individual digits instead of the whole number. It's much faster and easier to enter it now.
-Changed the look a bit, fixed control resize errors when rotating screen, VGA should work well.
After all I won't add a skinnable UI to save space and keep the app fast and usable.
I only have a few minor fixes left to be done so I should release v.1.1 tomorrow. (I'm on Ubuntu and I'm too lazy to reboot... and Vista sucks).
Ta-da! An update!
A lot of stuff was fixed, including all of the suggestions except languages

Hello boys and girls!
Here's my little Chrismas present for you: iDiamond Project public beta
As for now, it's nothing but a fancy application laucher, but it will be developed into complex UI over time. I'm too lazy to write more, so look for yourself.
And yeah, a feedback (or even an usability review) will be appreciated.
Special thanks to:
mun_rus: for your help in manila R&D (reverse-engineering and development)
bepe: for your useful hashing utilities
nestore5: for your help with decompilation
chainfire & guys: for QTC converter
Thank you all guys! You all helped greatly to make it happen!
System requirements:
TouchFLO 3D enabled VGA device
The official beta testing period of v.0.2 is over, coz all valuable information is collected and we got into flood&flame stage.
You're supposed to stop using the beta and wait for next releases (in Feb-Mar). The beta will forcefully expire after Jan, 15th.
If you haven't got a chance to try, here's the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VWsOUt41X4
Attention!
If you're going to distribute this to other forums, please do not remove credits.txt from the package, so users can always check back for newer versions in this thread.
Interface modders, if you're going to change some graphics, please leave loading screen logo untouched. This is my personal request
Regarding HTC Touch HD version:
I can not develop HD apps without actual device, and i don't think i will get any, coz it's not even sold here. But as soon a i get one (by some miraculous means), you can count on HD releases along with Diamond releases. You heard me
Donations:
I don't need money for this project, coz i write it for my own pleasure, and Paypal is not available in my region anyway. I wrote it just above, but i will state it more clearly: what i really need are Touch HD (for HD version) and iPhone itself (to look how things are done there), so, if you want, you can look in the direction of fundraising via someone trustworthy in the community, but that's just an idea...
Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Manila hangs or restarts sometimes during adding a shortcut
- Clock icon does nothing - it's just showing time (for now)
Impossible features (do not request them please):
- Locking the entire interface
- Integrating TF3D tabs into iDiamond UI
- Integrating iDiamond UI into TF3D
- QVGA version
Upcoming features:
- Setting wallpaper
- Built-in applications: picture viewer, music player (with coverFLO), messaging, etc.
- Active icons for applications: showing number of missed calls, new messages, etc.
Tips & tricks:
- Adding shortcuts to special places/actions, like Settings and New SMS (workaround): I haven't tried that personally, but i'm sure it's possible to create a special .lnk (with special parameters) for such actions (just goggle it) and add em like regular application.
"New SMS" shortcut attached. Just put it into your Programs folder
SMS Inbox: 00#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS"

Edit: So wait. This means my TF3D won't run Awe. I was hoping to secondtoday this....any way I can get two versions of TF3D running at the same time? I would like to keep TF3D and have this run on my fuze. Suggestions D-Man?
Good job, man. Can't wait to try...
1 min review:
Seems very usable. I like the look. I'm a compare it to the iFonz, like that it's not an app, but I still feel that if you can seperate the bottom four icons and put the page dots above it and have the same docking look as the iPhone. You're good to go Oh and I hate the fact that I can't have TF3D and have this running on Second Today I can only have one. No bugs so far. It seems pretty fast.

Yeah, i know, but i can't help here - i'm developing it in manila platform and it's not designed to run in multiple instances.
Cool ! man I love this UI
no qvga huh?

Um. Respect people please. This is a proper forum. Not for retards. K? Thanks. And if you were smart enough to know that TF3D (VGA Version) can run on QVGA devices and since this just replaces manila files, it should run on QVGA devices.
wow, saw the youtube vid, really fast! will try this when i get back home.
meccax5, why don't u "-mod removed moronic remarc by meccax5-"? heheheh
sorry for another flame...
Gonna test this out on my FUZE get back to ya ASAP!
thx

I understand the UI, but wondering if it was possible to make it so that TF3D still is the main hompage, and this becomes a replacement for the programs portion of WM6. I understand that it is iPhone like, but I like the TF3D, but would love to replace the programs folder with this instead of the WM6 version. Or even replacing the TF3D programs tab with this. Using it as a today screen cuts out alot of essential info. Just asking and giving feedback.

I basically said the same thing I think it would be possible, but D-Man would have to re-code it and change it, because I think it'd be hard to keep both of them. If you're want it like this only for the programs, I suggest you look into TouchXperience by schaps which should have a public beta by christmas >.> (I've been waiting ever so patiently for him to come out with it since it looks too good to be true and it's uber awesome and I could like talk about it all day since it's so awesome, but I won't because it's going to clog my whole post with TouchXperience)

To me (personal opinion) this is more of a app launcher (a nice one at that), and as far as TouchExperiance, I gave up on it and I think it has been abandoned.
tried it and like it!
it somehow slows down menu popup when im in app launcher thou, not at home screen
one more thing is sometimes it will restart itself when u add a shortcut, and u have to add a different shortcut instead of the one causing prob, then only able to add the one afterward
Hi to all,
it's about time to release my new GSen-controlled game...

This game is about gravity and balls. With the movement of your hand (left/right tilting) you control the paddle that explodes the balls. Tilting up and down changes the gravitational force applied to the balls. This way you can accelerate them, slow them down or even make them fly to heaven again...
Let me know about ideas, bugs or improvements!
*change log*
v 1.00
*added native WVGA support for Touch HD
*better response of the paddle to movements
*all new graphics and finger friendly user interface
v 0.93
*fixed backlight dimming while playing game
v 0.92 initial release
If you like GravityBalls consider a donation and buy me a beer.

looks interesting, going to try it out
Nice
Sick game good work! is their a way to make the gsensor more sensitive??
pretty nice. I did notice my backlight was dimming and timing out - any way to override that?

I haven’t tried or downloaded the app yet but if the developer looks through Klaxon's source code it shows a method of preventing the backlight from turning off while the app is running.
Hope that helps, now to give this game a try...

Yes, download if you don't have it already, called Diamond Config. v3.3. Here you can do a lot more than just tweaking Gsensor polling.

Hi,
good to hear that you like the game

I will look into this for next version of GravityBalls. It's not as easy as copy&paste from Klaxon's source because I don't use the .Net CF. GravityBalls was made using PPL (Pocket Programming Language).

I'm afraid tweaking the GSensor polling won't help here. I poll for the data 10 times per second; if I try shorter intervalls the GSen-data freezes and becomes kind of static. I heard other programmers had the same problem, even though with the "native" .net SDK for the GSen the polling intervalls might go down to about every 32ms polling and still workin fine.
It somehow depends on the general CPU usage of your device in the moment of polling - and GravityBalls really graps every CPU-cycle it can

zehlein,
It iwas just a thought for an easy fix...
Good luck!
Looks good, I'm giving it a shot tonight!!! Thanks
thanks worked perfect
Nice little game....good job! ....and yeh, wish the gsensor was more sensitive. Find that it can be a little tough to get the paddle from one end to another quick enough. Found out a little technique though, is to hold the device almost face up so that the balls don't come down full speed.
p.s. on a side note...the sound choice for this game makes me laugh!

Yes, tilting up and down changes the gravity. Clever use of it can prevent quite a few balls from not being exploded. Even in the higher levels with the balls coming down quickly you won't survive too long without using this. You might even reverse gravity's direction and let the balls fly up again...
Uhmm, yes. The sound. Nice one, right!?
I posted a new version 0.93 for download. The backlight dimming during gameplay is fixed now.
hi zehlein
can you make a video
Thank you for this latest release!
Pity that WVGA resolution is not supported... it's great, but on Touch HD (800x480) it has one bright white stripe at the bottom of a page... Not quite the same effect as a whole black background.
please dude make a wvga compatible game .
great game btw.

As soon as I will find some time I will try to shoot a video. Not that easy though, simple screencapturing won't do - you won't get the idea of moving the device...

Sorry for this but at the moment there is no way I see to let the game run in WVGA.
Thanks loving this
hey, works great on my shadow 2009. The only problem is that it is not a touch screen device. Is there any possibility that you could make it so that some of the features can be accessed from the key pad? Most notably choice to retry or exit the game.
