Has anyone got TodayPlus http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=843
up an running on the wizard. It is/was the best todayscreen plugin on my old Ipaq. I can get it to run as a stand alone app. but not to integrate as a plugin.

Hmm.. I reviving this threat after 'discovering' something called 'TodayPlus'. I did a google to it and it seems to be a very powerful program. From the looks of it, it seems to have the potential to cover both PocketBreeze and PocketPlus.. and yet it seems to be not often being discussed here. It seems to be able to do everything, by scripting (feels to be like the PPC version of Samurize.com)
I'm bound to give it a go this weekend.
Those who are interested, take a look at this MASSIVE forum just for this today plugin/application.

French version http://www.todayplus.fr.tc/
You may able to download the software from the link above (post by `wizzzard`).
Note that, there are a lot of software named TodayPlus, which includes a Palm based software that tries to emulate PPC Today. So, it is rather confusing to do a google for it. Anyway, the 'head' of TodayPlus seems to be at this site
http://www.dark-mojo.com/
But it seems to be currently down.. interesting...
i got it working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=360201#360201
but i couldn't get it to update weather, rss,radar
attaching the program
Todayplus is/was the best plugin I found. It worked perfectly on my WM2003 Ipaq2210 and works on my WM5 Wizard. It was designed for WM2003 and does not support landscape correctly. There is no support available from the author but remains for me the most adaptable today screen plugin.
Don't work for me...
I got only a blank screen. Any suggestion?
Ciao
blank screen
i have given edited dll also in that archive.
Skip the steps for editing it and you have to follow these steps
phuntum (05-27-2005) - v0.11.0
On your PPC use a file explorer that will allow you to see extensions and hidden files to find the file “todayplus.dll” in \Program Files\TodayPlus and copy it to your PC. On your PPC turn off the TodayPlus plugin (uncheck in the Settings/Today screen), soft reset, and move “todayplus.dll” from \Program Files\TodayPlus to \My Documents. On your PC use a hexeditor to open the “todayplus.dll” and search for “7D 1E A0 E3 03 08 A0 E1”; replace “7D” with “8D”; save the edited “todayplus .dll” and copy it back to \Program Files\TodayPlus on your PPC. Delete” todayplus.dll” from \My Documents and reset your PPC. On your PPC turn on the TodayPlus plugin (check in the Settings/Today screen) and soft reset.
phuntum (05-28-2005) - v0.11.0
The above fix is permanent. Save the new todayplus.dll in a safe place so that if you have to reinstall (e.g., after a hard reset) all you need do is install, disable, and replace as per above. You might want to save the instructions just in case. Free hexeditors are abundantly available. Do a web search for one. It's a great program and the effort is worth it. When you're ready, surf over to http://www.jhollin1138.com for a goldmine of help. There is a great debate as to whether the fix should be shared--somewhat hypocritical in my estimation, since those who were lucky enough to get it before it disappeared are using it.
these are the directions from ppcfreewares i followed
after doing this go to this thread http://forums.jhollin1138.com/viewtopic.php?t=1292
and start with no 6 in instructions
good luck
I still need to reinstall this plugin after upgrading my ROM.
There are loads of diferent skins available my favourite is attached.
The Dark Mojo forum closed ages ago but discussions particularly on the "Hammerskin" skin are ongoing on http://forums.jhollin1138.com/
Hammerskin is awesome but it was too much of a resource hog last time I tried it.
Sorry for the double post
updates?
did u get weather and rss updated?
I have tried it twice on my Kjam. Used the modified dll provided. however, I can only see a white screen when trying to access the settings! :S Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Thanks
Ok, I found it! I was missing the .net!
Very nice application with beautifull skins! Only drawback is that it does not auto refresh when you add a new apointment or task!
Apart from that its a really nice application!
Arrgghh,
Reinstalled on my Wizard after upgrading to Molski's ROM. I can get it working as a plugin rather than as a stand alone program, which previously was my stumbling block. Now I can't get the config utility to remember my location or get weather and rss feeds updated. This did work on my old ROM. I think it is just some reg settings that need creating but why it worked before and not now I do not know.
Hi Guys,
Im a newbie to this plugin but so far I understand that its able to make short cuts on the "desktop" just like a normal pc....and thats what Im looking for.
Ive followed the instructions carefully and the first time it went okay....i.e I got the slider.txt in the skin box. However I didnt find the "okay" button on the top.
Well I followed the instructions but it didnt show up on my desktop....strange so I uninstalled.
Now Ive been reading a bit further and read that the reason why it might not have workd could be the date so I decided to set back the clock 2 years and reinstall it.
2nd time around I dont get the slider.txt option, it has saved my settings from my first install....and it still doesnt work.
help help help
Well after som struggle I managed to get the slider.txt into the "Select Skin (DLL)"
But its still not working on my today screen. I can choose it as the only item on the today screen however its just blank.
Is this because I use a special black screen (tsk file) for my back ground ?
Also its seems to forget my location (Lat/Long)
Any help so that I can get it working ??
Im using a Qtek 9100 with WM 5 OS 5.1.195 Build 14847.2.0.0
Oh I'm happy again
I finally got Todayplus running properly again. Weather and RSS are updating correctly.
This is what I did.
1 install Todayplus cab
2 Disable Todayplus from Settings/Today/items
3 Soft reset. Or power cycle the phone.
4 Overwrite todayplus.dll with the modded one
5 create directory \program files\todayplus\Buffer
6 Connect to internet and verify connection with PIE, minimise
7 Run todayplus config
6 Tab to Weather/RSS add new weather cities and rss feeds
7 Tab to Time/Storage add new timezone and set storage path to \Storage Card (case sensitive and device specific for Wizard?
8 Close Todayplus config
The config utility would not save my location coordinates on the owner info tab so I manually entered the values into HKCU\Software\SRSSoft\TodayPlus\coords\1 (string value of the form 53.483,-2.053) You can get your city coords from http://www.heavens-above.com/
9 Disable all other today screen plugins and enable todayplus. Close the settings program.
On returning to the today screen after a short wait Todayplus should be working. This worked for me but there is loads of information at http://forums.jhollin1138.com/viewtopic.php?t=1292 if you need further help.
hey,
have any of u tried this application for pocket pc? check it out on this link http://simpleos.iroot.ca/index.php
apparently, it makes ur pocket pc GUI exactly similar to a MAC or Windows XP (an emulator of some sort). It comes with additonal plug-ins that you can download which emulates applications such as outlook, word, media player, etc
It's a freeware and it looks pretty interesting. My PPC has been in the shop for repair so I have not been able to try this (and probably wont be able to for at least a week) but if anyone out there can give it a shot, let me know ur feedback on this app (is it stable?does it mess up ur PPC?). from the screenshots and videos, a WM2003 version was used so I dont know if it's compatible with WM5 or WM6. I cant wait to try it out when my PPC gets back from the shop.
Initial testing shows that is it quite slow. But that maybe due to the wizards slow processor on WM6. Does not install as it should. I believe that to be an WM6 issue. Other then that overall looks good but not recommended for a wizard. Also get designed for VGA resolution. I think that is due to the fact that it doesn't install and does not configure the software.
My initial view is positive. but need to do some more testing. A cab install file would be useful.
Cheers,
thanks for checking it out! According to the support forums in the site, u can change the VGA setting. Quoted "if you unzip the files from zip, unside a "bin" folder there is a file "kernel.xml" open in notepad and change the 64 to 32 and save". Dont know if this will fix it though.
Also this application is open source i think, so if any of our great programmers here at xda-developers can have a crack at it, i'm sure someone can improve this promising application and make it fully operational for all of us here (like what A_C did with the ILock). The programmer did say that he is open to the idea of someone continuing the development of this program as he does not have a lot of free time to work on this (check the forums section in the site)
PROGRAM IS NOT WORKING AT 100%! AT THIS MOMENT ONLY FUCTIONS LISTED BELOW ARE WORKING. OTHER FUNCTIONS UNDER DEVELOPMENT.
Current Version
- [NEW] Birthdays button/indicator works
- [NEW] A little bit more comfortable clock setting
- [NEW] Fade-in effect now depends on your device speed
- Clock Settings
- Clocks, Indicators
- Balance update
- BlueTooth, GPRS/EDGE, WiFi, GSM on/off

Install: unpack to Program Files to your device.
Scale factor and balance setting are in HKCU\Software\MaxHome
Day's period to search birthdays in the same regestry.
To Do Next: sort birthdays in order of days, alarm settings, maybe screenlock
Hmmmm. so i'l be the first one
I'me more into icons and launchers but nice icons
I'm sure that a lot of people will like this
Very nice...can't wait to take it for a spin
It's amazing ! I really want this ! Good job !
Thos application seems to be verry good.
nice!!! quite tired of the normal todays screens..too much cluttered plugins...
hope you could share with us soon very much interested to try out...
nice work keep it up =) hope it is also support VGA..coz many developers develop QVGA soft huhu
looks good, keep it up!
I'm begginer in programming. So dont promise a VGA version. I wrote it with Windows Mobile 6 SDK. I think it will work with 5.0 and 6.0 of coarse.
Actually I doing it for my personal using (QTek S200, WM6).
Will be glad if some one else will can to use it
hi MaxKysh, im a beginner too. Is possible to use grafic libs like XFlib in your project?
Don't know I use only API functions.
Please, try it
Here it is if somebody want to try Please report of your try.
Tested on QTEK S200 - works well.
Tested on Asusu p525 - don't work BlueTooth swith (will try to fix it).
WiFi switch don't realised yet.
Place into Program Files on your device.
The balance USSD request message stored in HKCU\Software\MaxHome\Balance\Message.

I've got an normal htc elf p3450
And the program doesn't work correct, the background doesn't load therefore the transparant icons doesn't show.
I can enter the settings tab but i don't think any of the settings work.
I know you are a starting programmer (and i can't program anything so i have deep respect for you) but could you concider something like total customization
Greetz
Did you extract it to Program Files? (I meen Program Files\MaxHome\, and not to Storage Card (!)). Don't promise full customize but will work on it

As i have a dutch elf i don't have the program files folder but i made one by hand and copied the whole MaxHome folder to that directory but it still didn't work.
Greetz,
Hmm... That is my big mistake Will try to fix it
hi, just tried it, unzipped to device/Program Files/Max Home
tried running MaxHome01b.exe and comes up with error:
"the file 'MaxHome01b' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
I clicked on accept when it said it wasnt signed...
Not working for Wizard
Date and time displayed correctly, the "Comm Manager" displays correctly but the Bluetooth button is the only one functioning, the rest do not have any effect.
Icons at the bottom do not work at all.
Anyhow, good idea, keep the good work!
Forget to say:
realized at this moment only:
- Clocks
- BlueToot, GSM, GRRS switch (WiFi - not yet)
- Balance Update
The bottom icons just for full view They are not working.
Please tell me, which Software to programm do you use??
Can you post the source code, so that we can help you to make a realy realy good home screen?
Thanks
This is what I got from the iGuidance support team. I was excited to hear the solution was so simple.
Hi,
What you are asking is the capability to keep both QVGA & VGA.exe's on your PPC and be able to switch back and forth depending on your applications.
iGuidance will initially install both VGA and QVGA.exe's, but after first launch on your PPC, the program will automatically detect and keep the file according to which mode your PDA has and delete the other one.
For example, immediately after you've installed iGuidance on your PPC and BEFORE you try launching the program, under your program files\iNav\iGuidance directory, initially you will have:
iguidanceVGA.exe
iguidanceQVGA.exe
iguidance.exe
iGuidance.exe isn't QVGA nor VGA. It launches when you launch iGuidance, checks resolution of your PPC, deletes the wrong one, and relaunches the right one.
Thus, the only way to keep both VGA and QVGA exe's are to delete iguidance.exe immediately after installation, then launch iguidanceVGA.exe or iguidanceQVGA.exe manually from the program files\iNav\iGuidance directory based on your need.
Hope this information helps.
Thank you.

In the next few days I hope to whip up a mortscript to see what the current res is and launch the right version for it and also test the VGA version on 128dpi (the default for 128 is QVGA, which is why I asked in the first place - it works, but the icons overlap & some other funky-but-useable stuff.)
Awhile back I posted an even easier solution. Set both of the resolution bound exe´s as “read only”. By doing this you can use the standard launcher in the usual manner.
One caveat, in 128dpi, using this method, the vga app will launch. The menus in the qvga app are better for 128dpi.
Why wouldn't you just create a .lnk to whatever executable
you wish to initiate Iguidance in qvga or vga?
That's what I actually use now. Just wanted to point out that writing a script was not necessary.
The blessing of the developer
RO is, quite frankly, much more ingenious than this solution! Sorry I didn't find it before I spouted off.
I do like the idea of doing things that are supported, and the QVGA does look better, if not perfect, in 128dpi, so I just made shortcuts to each. Also, this way if I have to flash, I can restore my start menu/programs and not worry about blowing one away if I forget to change the properties. It's more clutter, but worth the safety.
Ninja1, the world needs more brains like yours. please keep posting your thoughts!
Hi,
This is my first post and hopefully it may be helpful.
I have created a nice solution in order to run both UpToDate and Internet Explorer 6.
This solution was originally posted in this thread, but as long as this may not be visible, I have started a new thread
What you will NOT need
1) You will not need Fix UpToDate by doctorcete.cab
2) You will not need to cook your own rom
What you will need
1) Fix IE.cab
2) The files, which are attached at the end of this post.
Instructions
There are 2 different versions.
Version 1 - Best - If you use MortScript
1) Use the two .mscr files.
2) Each of those files contains a registry modification and after that it executes Uptodate or IE respectively.
Be careful: If you installed UpToDate in a different location than the default you should manually open and edit the file UpToDate.mscr and replace "\Program Files\UpToDate" with your installation pathway. (You can use Notepad to open the file)
3) You can use these files to launch the applications instead of the default shortcuts.
2nd version - If you do not use Mortscript
1) Use the 2 reg files
2) Before opening each application, run the corresponding .reg script
3) Files are universal independent on your installation location. Therefore no change is required.
I hope you enjoy.
Step2p
I can only launch it trhough mortscript then, not the default shorcuts right? or am I missing something?
@doctorcete
You should build new shortcuts pointing to mscr files.
If you want to have also the correct image on those shortcuts, you can download the file attached.
UpToDate shortcut will only work if it is installed in the default location (/Program Files/UpToDate)
If you have another installation location, you should manually edit the shortcut and fix it accordingly.
EDIT: If you want to use these shortcuts place the mscr files in folder "/Program Files"
Step2p
I don't want to hijack this thread, but has anyone been able to find a hack to increase font size within UpToDate?
good work step2p, it works alright with the shortcuts, congrats!, im very happy uptodate is finally getting some attention (after 6 or 7 months since the problem was discovered). Thank you!....
Fix UpToDate by doctorcete.cab
Dear All,
I still prefer to use Fix UpToDate by doctorcete.cab. I don't like IE6 any way. The simple solution is to run Fix UpToDate.cab. You can set Opera as you non-default browser, and Opera still works fine.
so what does this do? use PIE as the manilla internet browser???
what i imagined it would do is make PIE better with zoom, so might be able to zoom a bit better and it might be a bit faster? can anyone explain to me please?
Thanks
UpToDate is an Electronic Medical Database for Medical Drs
If your are not a Medical Dr. You don't need to read this thread
good job... it works nice.
Good evening to all,
I know this is not the appropriate thread to post this but i do hope to get some help
I have installed a trial 17.2 on my pc.does anyone knows which file is held responsible for expiring the trial version in the registry?
cheers
V
how can i check the version of IE?
Don´t mind the version of IE. If UpToDate works out of the box (without any hacks) then you do not need this. If it doesnt work. Follow the steps as described above on the first post, Then it will work.
great work guys. any way to have finger scrolling work?
Hey,
Just wanted to say that UpToDate works perfectly without needing any fixes if you access it through a proxy connected to your medical school, assuming that's an available option. It doesn't work using opera but does with IE, including zooming, etc.
well that's if you use an internet connection be it a data connection or wifi. this discussion is about uptodate completely on the phone (flash card) requiring no internet. thanks though

Oh, I assumed it still connected to the internet to access some kind of database. So this program alone contains ALL of the information that's available online!?? That's pretty amazing if it does, especially if it updates with new articles. I'll have to look into this now...
Yeah, it's huge >2GB. If you subscribe, there should be an option for them to deliver a DVD to you for you to use with your Palm/Windows Mobile device. UpToDate updates periodically, currently it's version 17.2. Articles are not updated on a rolling basis, but rather in increments corresponding to new versions. The flash card version actually does not update automatically. So whatever version you initially received, it'll remain that version with the same articles. The only way to update articles is to get the new version. Fortunately, the updates do not occur that often and medicine doesn't change drastically between versions.

Ok, I haven't gotten this to work. I'm not quite sure what to do with the files. I'm using a Sprint Touch Pro. I placed both files in Programs/Mortscript. I can get everything up, but when i go into the drugs and press headings, it freezes. Any advices?
