Quran with many features ///Benedict.s/// Portrait and Landscape modes - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi there
this is an OPEN-SOURCE program
After looking for a Quran program for a long time, I realised that there is not a single one which works on these new devices (Specially touch HD)
It has all the functions I have been looking for myself!
I have attached a picture.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have tested it on the following only:
HTC Touch HD
HTC Touch Diamond
+anyone who tests this on other device please tell me if it works!
So here is a program for those of you in need!
Here are the functions:
1. you can bookmark pages
2. It will save the last page that you are in automatically
3. It saves the last orientation of the device
4. Both vertical and Horizontal views
5. Next, Previous buttons
6. Clear, big texts
7. Tap and Hold on pages to choose to:
bookmark
go back to the main page
exit
8. You can choose to go to certain : Page, Part, or even chapter
9. Choose orientation in the main page
10. tap the screen to "Page Down" (particularly useful in Diamond which has a smaller screen)
If this is used in any way, or it is to be published in any other place, IT HAS TO BE FREE as this is an open-source program. And the source code should be included if you change anything in the program!
A work by Benedict.s
Hope this is usefull
Cheers
Instructions:
just unZip and copy the program anyware you want the run the "Quran (Benedict.s) .exe" using the file explorer!
You can make a shortcut in the start menu if you want for easier access!
Note: You do need the latest .net framework installed on your device!
Download Links:
I would prefer it if you downloaded from RAPIDSHARE!

thanx my friend I'll try it and give you the feedback

Really a brilliant piece of work,
Precious item for me...

Jazak Allah-u Khayer

Quality Check
Hi there
Do you guys have had any problems so far?
Anything you want to tell me?
And by the way, would anyone consider any sort of donation if I gave my paypal acount address?
Let me know
Cheers

stupid mistake!
I meant "have you guys had any problems so far" not "do you ....."

Thanks for the great application
I have been looking for such a program even before this Ramazan, but to my unfortunate i couldnt find any.
Once I download and install it, I will post a reply once I go through it thoroughly and check every feature.
Edit:
After going through the screenshots, I can say that this program is based on screenshots of Holy Qur'an, but not a textual version.
This isnt a real solution for those who are looking for features like enlarge and shrink font, so that word wrap will occur accordingly.
However, once I download this, I will post again..

After installing this application, I can say that it didnt live upto my expectations. However, I am happy since i got Qur'an installed on my pocket PC, which is really great and my desire.
I will be looking through for a program which can actually use text, not scanned images of pages of Holy Qur'an, so that I can zoom in and out and read easily.
Thanks for the share once again.
May Almighty Allah bless us all and show the right path, Amen!

Thanks,brother I like yhat it's simple than others as you need to install Mobidiv arabizer to use thier quran

Can someone reupload the source files, it's been removed from the original link.

Update
Hi there
Thanks for the enormous amounts of feedbacks that you gave me! Seriously though, tell me something.... could you tell me if it works on pother devices or not?
And by the way, what other sites do you want me to upload the files?
Tell me the ones you want.
And for the source code, I will reupload it whenever I have time (there is something wrong with my internet recently, I get disconnected regularly!)
Cheers

thank you and may Allah bless you.

Jazak Allah-u Khayer thank you very much, could you please re-upload the source code as I am getting an error message that it has been removed
Thank you

Update
Mirrors on zshare (check first post)
Updated link for rapidshare source code!
I do prefer if you guys downloaded from rapidshare!

Links are now up & presumably, they work!

anyone tried the new links yet?
Look guys, 1153 people have downloaded this application! could you at least give some feedback? any errors? have you tried it on any other device other than the ones stated?
Come on!!!!

Alternatives
benedict.s the following quran apps work on my Touch Diamond;
uQuran from guidedways [dot] com
(navigate to Downloads > Mobile Softwares > uQuran: Micro Quran Reciter)
and
Pocket Islam from pocketislam [dot] com
(Download page link is on the right hand side under the blue Pocket Islam clock icon)
I've tried quite a few and between them they offer the best features (translation / transliteration / bookmarks / recitation etc.)
Out of the two Pocket Islam is the fastest but the font is pixelated and uQuran is slower but supports the higer screen resolution Diamond screen.
both are free
but uQuran Pro has lot more features. check out their website for more info.
Hope this helps,
Habs

Try Pocket Islam... it has quran, namaz timings, audio, qibla etc etc.. and I think its free..
but good effort though

I made this for touch hd! Since the screen size was different than the previous ones, I did not find a working quran program!
About pocket islam, I do not know if it has any support for the Touch HD, but I believe you cannot have big texts in it while having kept the page format!

New Version
OK guys,
a new version will be coming out soon...
with new pics (thanks to "kareeem" for providing the new tajveed pages)
Just thought I should let you guys know...

Love the black style. Hate that rapidshare has a stupid captcha that is next to impossible to solve >.>
If someone who has downloaded it would be so kind to upload it somewhere else.

EDIT: Is something wrong with the file? It said file cannot be accessed. Make sure you have JavaScript enabled. I have JavaScript enabled though.
I have this problem, but i resolve this. i open a firefox browser and i download a file.
I am using Firefox...
EDIT: Solved. The problem was I had Grease Monkey enabled. To download from Rapidshare, if you have firefox and use grease monkey, please disable it.

nice black skin!
very nice black skin. i really like the dialer =]. but the only thing is i only want to use the dialer skin, but dont know which file to copy and paste on my windows folder. please help!!
any chance at all on making a version like the T-mobile diamond or the O2 version? not sure why but I like the white and pink t-mobile theme and the O2 blue is pretty awesome too.

Texas Holdem Calculator

For those of you interested in Texas Hold'em, I'm developing a calculator for assistance in computing pot/hand odds as well as some other useful tools, for example replaying hand history for games played online. You can find the source/install here, which has been developed for windows mobile 5/6 on the .NET framework v3.5:
Texas Holdem Calculator [Stable 1.1]
.NET 3.5 Redistributable CAB/MSI
I tried to use your program, but there were some issues.
1. There is no documentation or help anywhere, so it is difficult for me to even figure out how to do anything. For example, I could not get a hand to flop.
2. There is no way to exit the program that I could see.
3. The options tab was blank.
I really want this program. I and my wife play Texas Holdem all the time and we would love to have this available.
Regards,
Devin
Here's a link to the doc.
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=239546&package_id=291930&release_id=633229
There's both a .doc and .txt for instructions. The exit is in the context, i.e. press and hold the stylus on the screen.

Excellent. Thanks. You may want to link to your documentation on Freeware.ppc.net and some of the other sites that have your program.
Thanks for the heads up. I was unaware that any other sites had the app since the project is hosted on sourceforge.net, Enjoy.

Looks like it needs some more effort to work on an Touch HD Blackstone:

Also, the only way to exit the program is via the task manager.
Hope you're willing to get it working on the Blackstone!
The context menu holds the exit button. Simply hold and wait for the pop up. Sorry it's confusing, I did include an instruction guide in the download. As for the Blackstone I don't know much about it but I would be willing to see what I can do. It looks like the screens resolutions are different than the Titan I use and the simulators.

Hi! Blackstone (HTC Touch HD) has a WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) screen. Lots of applications don't work very well with the Blackstone (yet), but it's only been on the market for a few weeks now. I just thought I'd give this one a try.
Could it be I downloaded and installed the wrong file from the sourceforge website? I thought the only difference between the 2 downloads was the added source code, right?
Resolution, therein lies the problem. The Titan only has a screen size of 240 x 320 which is near half that of the Blackstone. I'll look in too it but it might take a while as I'm in the middle of purchasing a new home.

Easily solved:
Go to wisbar settings, press Taskbar, go to the 'Other' tab, and UNcheck 'The network icon uses the default icon' (aswell as the phone icon and optionally the notification icon)
Good luck with it, and thanks for the kind comments (thought i would get flamed or whatever for posting crap in this forum)
really like the theme.....as for further, next or future releases, it would be great if it was more finger friendly.
nice work
Also: i can't access the default task manager from the top right of the home screen(TF3D).

Wisbar isnt ment to be that finger friendly (yet), however you can enable an option to make the icons bigger then pressed, exactly the way touchflo does
i really love your theme but its a shame that wisbar is so finger unfriendly...
i deinstalled it with a tear in my eye
if been trying to download the file from your site tryed about six times always hangs halfway through the download :c dont know if its my pc or your server :s
anyway would realy appriciate if someone could mirror the file...

I think it works but you have to press the icon at the very left side of it.
It's a small bug in Wisbar.

HTML Dev Panel V1

So I decided to make a panel just to see what I could get the phone to do.
Basically, this should start as a background so people can see what it takes to make a panel.
Its pretty simple to be honest. Here is the panel for anyone that wants to take a look and have a mess about:

Current Bugs
Camera doesn't seem to launch, however it is told to run CameraRunner.exe. When CamerRunner.exe is ran independantly the exe launches the camera, just won't run from the panel
Current Problems with HTML Panels
Maximum height of panel content can only be as tall as the landscape view of the panel....
nice one!
hopefully that encourage more panels to be developed, at least a designer panel, never mind it's just a collection of shortcuts
Indeed, its only version 1 as I cant figure out how to do anything else at the moment.
Im trying to figure out how/if I can include information from .exe such as the battery life etc.
However, im not entirely sure I can
Im wondering if I can create something that will allow people to log in and out of an external website.
Ie, could I create a xda-dev panel where people can log in and out, check latest posts and pms etc..

i know google is my friend but i was wondering why it said that the display size was only 240x400. But now i know that i somehow doubles the size af all elements on the page/panel ... very strange.
I guess i will have to wait for my own x1 for testing..
Mark
Where is the source code? Both download the cab file....

thank you very much
Bummer, I had just come across the size issue myself.
How stupid is it to render your HTML bigger than 1:1 ratio?! Surely it makes sense to do it 1:1 as you are crafting the HTML specifically for this device and resolution so you are going to ensure yourself that the font isn't too small etc and it looks so much more sexy with these tiny pixels on the X1 at 1:1 ratio as you can put insane detail in. The first thing I loved about the X1 is the screen is so detailed its like looking at a hires printout rather than an LCD.
Trust Sony to screw up what would otherwise have been a REALLY handy way to code a panel. Fingers crossed they either update the SDK to correct this issue or we find some hidden option in the dll that switches view mode.
UPDATE:
According to Microsoft, changing <meta name="MobileOptimized" content="240"> to <meta name="MobileOptimized" content="480"> should tell the rendering engine that the screen is 480 pixels wide. However, the panel does not seem to support this. It did however stop an annoying 1 pixel outline I was getting at the left and top of the page, so it clearly does something.
I also discovered a REALLY nice line you can add, <META HTTP-EQUIV="cleartype" CONTENT="ON"> enables cleartype on the text so it looks nice. You probably did that already but I haven't been able to check your source code yet as I am on Linux and its a PITA transferring files between the X1 and Linux all the time.
Links to exe on storage card
It would be great if the code for a working link to exe files on the storage card and even stable none /windows folder exes could be supplied.
Can't get start menu links approach to work either.
Source code for an html panel would also be nice
Found this code mentioned, but not working (or doing something wrong):
Google Maps
Replace %CE1% with any of these to go to the directory
%CE1% = \Program Files
%CE2% = \Windows
%CE11% = \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
%CE14% = \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
%CE17% = \Windows\Start Menu
%CE18% = <default volume, dependent on device configuration>
%CE19% = \Application Data
Am working on a four-page, finger friendly, non iphone, panel and just need this exe linkage issue sorted, please
What do the /windows exe files do
Came across this page: http://www.ppcsg.com/lofiversion/index.php/t51866.html - quite a good collection
Have not tried all , but X1's bluetooth settings and phone settings not valid or present.
anyone know which exe file to link to for Bluetooth or phone settings?

[APP][2010/07/02]AppGrouper, a simple catagorised app launcher

Hi!
I'm a longtime lurker, ever since I got my Touch HD when it first came out and I NEEDED to have an english rom instead of a dutch one. Thanks to this place, my phone runs exactly how I want it to (most of the time ).
Except for a decent app launcher. I HATE the win6/6.1 scrollist ones, allthough the startmenu after that sucked a little less. I liked the yotacenter launcher, but in the end I just ran out of space and had to hit the "all apps" button too often and scroll through a huge list.
So I wrote my own in c# under .net 3.5.
And, seeing as I got all my tweaks and fixes from you guys, I thought I should give something back; in essence a quick and dirty app launcher which does exactly what I want: organise the programs I use the most.
It's a catagory per page, has menu, contextmenu and top-scroll-bar driven UI and you can add your own background:

I wrote it to be as device independant as I knew how, but I've really only tested it on my Touch HD1, so I'm really curious as to how it runs "in the wild" (or even on any other HD ). To save some effort, I've just packaged the .exe, which should run from any location. If it doesn't, \Program Files\AppGrouper\ should do it.
It should come with a default background and an icon...for this initial release [call it a beta] I didn't create a cab, so you'll have to copy/edit an existing .lnk file to get the program to show up in the windows\startmenu\ .lnk files so you can use a launcher to launch my launcher (yeah, I get the irony ), or just start the app from the exe.
Anyway, as I said this is the first application I'm releasing to the public, so please give me some feedback I have no idea what "unknown unknowns" this app'll run into on different machines than my emulator and my own Touch HD. The only deletion the program can do is to a specifically named .xml file it generates itself, so it should be safe enough
PS: as I was entering the tags to this post, I realised that this type of software could have been made and released many times: I've only used MS's launcher and the yotacenter one, so any ideas and/or other similarities to other launchers is coincidence and a case of simultanious devellopment (or in my case, retarded devellopment ). Again, any feedback is appreciated, from bugs to implementation to "you've totally ripped off x!". 'Cause I didn't, but I'd like to know about x
Anyway, I hope someone can use this!
Nice apps. The Title Folder box ought be longer to fit the text
Hehe
Ok, so I guess I'll have to set up an auto resize routine for the textsize and the textbox ... check back in a day or two
BTW, what device did you use this on? I'm curious to know if the program works correctly on devices other than touch hd's, too.

Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
I think mortbutton can do better than this
Ok app. thanks for sharing
By default can you pick up start menu and folder under it as group?
Else I think mortbutton can do far better job than your program. + .netcf 3.5 requirment
Thanks for sharing it. Few things I noticed
while trying to add an to a folder a drop down menu reveal 3 options - the first one is to add an app, what is the second one? it is blank on my tp2?
after running an app it stays in memory. is this how you designed it? i would prefer if it closed after running an app
finally, can you list here launchers that you came across that are standalone apps, meaning they do not sit in memory or eat CPU. i am looking for something like that with folders/tabs like yours and self-close after use.
thanks for sharing. i have one single question. i have installed it on my herald, but i cannot add more then one app to a group. am i missing something?
Sweet launcher! Thank U
I like your application!
As being an anti manila user Until now I was addicted to Program Finder plugin (attached) running on the Today Screen. Unfortunately the Today Screen does not have the SIP toggle in the bottom bar plus sometimes the Today Screen needs a refresh, due to Program Finder being an very old program; its messing up the Today Screen.
Therefore I searched the whole internet and finally after searching for 1 year I found [attachment]ToggleInputPanel.exe[attachment]. I'm executing programs via icons by running Easy Today Launcher.
Your application is a welcome alternative, thanx again! o/~
