Can the QuickOffice in Rogers builds edit word documents?
If so, is there a way to get this in different builds? (ie Cyanogen)
I can view, but I can't exit.

Hey everyone,
I developed this app as a part of my final year project. Initially I had big plans for it (I still feel that PPC lacks strong apps in this area.. OneNote doesn't cut it for me), but got busy with work/studies and forgot all about it.
I have also created a web version for it (sync your data with a web url), but thats too alpha at the moment. If anyone wants to beta test it, please let me know.
I'm uploading the last versions I made of this app to gather some bug reports, problems, crashes, new features etc which people might be interested in.
Keep in mind, I want this app to be so good that people can finally leave their paper notebooks home
I know some things aren't working well or at all, for e.g. synchronization.
Play around with the buttons (the tooltips etc should tell you what they're for)
Features:
arrange data in notebooks and pages. (basically you create a notebook and then insert a page into it..)
There are two modes.. view/edit.. edit mode gives you basic text input where you can format text using the following wiki syntax (effect of formatting is only visible in view mode):
*text* - bold
\text\ - italic
_text_ - underline
+ (add more pluses upto 6) gives you heading (e.g. ++My heading)
~color:green~ any text after this will be green. you can use this for most named colors
[link to another page] link between pages (linking will automatically happen if you use CamelCase/wiki syntax.. you can enforce linking by putting [Notebook/Page name] <-- in square brackets as such. Links can be renamed as well [[renamed link][Notebook/ActualPage]]
[image:image name]
You can insert images using the button/menu options. these images are imported into the notebooks directory.
Search notes
tag notes
bookmark notes (you can even bookmark searches, the stored search will be re-run every time, so for e.g. if you bookmark a search with dates later than last week, then it'll give you new results every time)
Maintain clipboard history and auto insert copied stuff into current page. (keyboard is polled every second)
Most important feature:- You can just copy over your notebooks/bookmarks directory (or sync it using any sync tool), and the same notebooks/pages/bookmarks will be available on both PPC and Win32.
Download:
http://ace.xhaven.net/DN-Win32-PPC.zip
Installation:
- Just unzip the win32 and PPC directories to your desktop and PDA.. click on the exe to run program. Should work on wm2003/wm5/wm6
Known bugs/issues:
- clipboard isn't working on PPC
- PPC version is slower, doesn't have softkey support yet
- PPC Icons look wierd
- .... add more?
Disclaimer:
I make no claims that this will work properly, or even execute on your desktop/PPC. I dont owe you anything. Please try this at your own risk.
no one tried it yet?
Nice Idea
Thanks,
This is great idea, i tested the note book, it is good.
But quite difficult to use on mobile, can u change the interface to make it easy to understand and write.
You're right, the PPC version is not that easy to use. Hopefully I'll get some time on this weeked to fix that up, as well as allowing common actions to be performed using hard/soft keys.

Yes that would be cool, waiting for your new version.
Weather broken on Today after update to WM6.1. CANNOT overwrite WeatherCities.xml!
Yay, I have GPS, Rev A, and for me the machine is noticeably faster.
Problem is the flash trashed my HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml. I know my AccuWeather International API code is correct as it previously worked and I can currently use the link via my browser.
I see tons of posts, here mostly, where the solution given is "add a line to the XML file."
I try that and it barks about access violation (Read Only). If I try to modify its attributes it reverts by the time the folder refreshes.
So, anyone, seriously, is there a definitive answer to whether or not it can be edited *easily* or is N2A's still the wisest choice?
Thanks!

I had the same problem. Using Total commander I was able to overwrite the file, and also found another file identical to it under mydevice/htchome. I wrote over both and all is back working with me.

After the flash to WM6.1 (the "official" ROM) I do not have an "HTC Home" or anything similarly named at all.
In WM6 I could upgrade the Home plugin to 2.1 and I could update both XML files.
There is only one XML file now in the entire device and it allows you to overwrite it at the cost of it saying "this could damage your ROM" and so forth. However, it will let you overwrite it and it merely adds entries to the "database."
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings' "LocationCode" key is updated upon your selection in the weather options.
I have manually modified this key and can input cities that DO work (use "Location" to call it whatever I like) and see the update. Currently my weather tab reads:
"45m/N of This Sh**** Weather"
45 miles North of this... well, you get the idea.
The Region/Country/State/City code is valid. I can click the link at the AccuWeather site and get the weather for my city. I have verified that the Weather plugin is working for other cities.
Did AccuWeather change the URL that serves smaller cities?
I guess I should ask someone if they can teach me how to take the newest HTCHome.dll and cook it into one that has my city by default. Or the customized URL and/or data that will get my city displayed again.
Sorry for the ramble/rant.

I'm not sure whats going on, but I did have to have a new htchome for my updated rom. Check this out
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=25019&highlight=new+rom+tabs+problem
Post #13.
I installed this and HHC Home customizer,
added new lines to the .xml file,
Once I had the files the way I wanted I put the file in the root of my storage card and used total commander to move the weather.xml file to windows.
It asked if I wanted to overwrite and I chose yes, worked like a charm. I have to use HHC Customizer custom weather for the weather hack to work, but all is going well so far. Hope this helps.
Here's the deal: new ROMs have this stupid Push Internet thingie I want to get rid of. The problem with it (beside not really working properly sometimes and being useless) is that it launches Opera on startup, which I find incredibly annoying. So I figured it would be nice to have a custom tab which would basically be the Manila v1 internet tab but with new softkeys (left one launching new Bookmarks, right one launching Opera's bookmark editor).
I've done some homework and identified the code in new Manila's 3fb3a68_manila which sets the left softkey:
Code:
HandleLeftSoftkey = function()
DummyFocusHolder:Focus()
_application.Store:SetIntValue(Lifetime_Application, "Internet.ImmediateLaunch", 1)
_application.Navigation:Navigate(URL("Manila://internet/bookmark.page"), true)
end
The old Manila's 0ee99cb5_manila opens bookmarks via
Code:
HandleLeftSoftkey = function()
LaunchBrowser(OperaLaunchFavoriteUIArg)
end
Which should, in my view, become the right softkey of the custom page. Maybe editing bookmarks is from the right softkey is not a good idea and something more useful could go there but I don't know what exactly.
I've found the files responsible for this stuff in the new and old Manilas (attached), so what's needed is somebody familiar with lua (or at least Manila Kitchen) to modify and recompile the internetportalnopush.page. This part, unfortunately, is way beyond my ability to dedicate time to learning new things.
you can just deactivate the launch of opera on startup by editing
HKLM\Software\HTC\PushInternetEngine\Enable to 0
if it would work ok, pushinternet would be a very interesting feature. i hope it will be fixed soon

Well, it doesn't work with all pushinternet packages - Opera is still launched with mine at least (and yes, it's removed from Bootlauncher/init/startup/everywhere.

I don't need it anyway, fixed or not. And I know for sure I'm not alone. So I want to cook ROMs in a way that gives the user a choice (and doesn't leave unused softkeys, which is my pet peeve).
Internet Tab Search Engine
Has anybody figured out how to use the search box on top of the Internet Tab. Mine does not do anything when used. I would like to change which engine it uses but at this point it simply does not work...
Thanks!
GSlide Pocket Outlook provider 0.0.1
Hi Yall
Just posted a new cool provider for GSlide (or any app that can read JSON...). Its called GSlidePOOM. This little app exports all your appointments and tasks to JSON. Hmm i wonder what i can do with that....
Its a simple exe which takes 2 mandatory arguments and 1 third which is optional.
1. Type of objects to be fetched ("tasks","appointments")
2. Location AND file name of the resulting JSON file ("/Whatever folder/whatever_name.js").
3. Optional app/script to be called straight after export.
Download at www.gslide.mobi/gpoom.rar
PS. Look in the Actions/Resources/Applications folder of GSlide (should you download it). Theres a small Alpha app called GImage.exe which scales bitmaps using command line args. Handy Its early apha so it will get better
Keep checking the site for more GApps.
Well?!... Now go code something interesting!
Ciao,
Lars
Any way this can work with Contacts?
But of course
Already did it. I will implement the same api pattern as GSlide with read/write xml-rpc.
More important i think is to mirror out the email, sms etc messages. What the phones seriously need is a new email client!
This is the original intent with this provider.
I wish i could get some more comments on GSlide (www.gslide.mobi) which is a really nice framework with so much potential... I wonder if the docs and examples are to unclear?
Any suggestions?
Ciao
Lars
New 0.1.5 version
Hi again
Now also exports Contacts...
Download at http://www.gslide.mobi/GPOOM_0_1_5.zip
This is as you understand still just a lab, even though it works... I will keep updating it. Keep checking the site.
Ciao,
Lars
Comming from a TP2 with Sense 2.1. Under the application tab you could bring up a list of all the programs installed on the phone. I can't find anything like this on my US Tmo HD2. Only time I can see the full program list is when I add a new icon to the home page. It is probably sitting right in front of my face.
press start.
No help now, I know, but I'm releasing an app in a couple of weeks (or so) that will allow you to bring up the program list you get for quicklinks, but for executing them instead. It's basically a program starter that uses the nice list that HTC have supplied for us.
