WordNetCE

Hi All,
Well I've kicked off my first windows mobile project with a progam I call "WordNetCE". If anyone is familiar with Princeton University's program called WordNet you will know you can use it as a brilliant dictionary/thesaurus, amongst other things that are beyond a normal human's intelligence.
One thing I've found lacking for Pocket PC is a decent free dictionary/thesaurus, so I've set out to make one based upon WordNet which is free to distribute from Princeton. A person named Malcolm Crowe did the original .NET port for WordNet 1.6, so I modified it to work with the new WordNet 2.0 dictionary, as well as with the Pocket PC platform (it wasn't all copy & paste...).
It's free to download from http://www.ebswift.com/PocketPC/WordNet/.
Note though that I have only just barely kicked this project off, but the dictionary side of things is operating. You will find much of the other functionality isn't working, but will come online soon.
Please check it out and start giving me some feedback. Thanks.

Just fixed up a lot more of the functionality - it's more useable compared to what it was before if anyone had a chance to look. A couple of buttons are still not complete, as with most of the main menu, but it can do about 20 times more than what it could this morning.

Look very promising!
Just one question: Is it mandatory to store the WordNet database onto a storage card, or can I store it on internal RAM too?

At the moment it's mandatory, but there's no reason why I can't add an option. Not many people will be able to use main memory because the database is ~over~ 30 meg!

I wonder why? I'm using the T-Mobile 4.01.16 ROM on an XDA 1 and installed the CAB with no problems. Are you using an XDA 2? I'm not sure if there's any difference with the CAB installers between XDA1/2, or maybe there's corruption in the download file, I'll check tomorrow. VS.NET outputs CAB's for all the difference PPC processors, so I'll put them up ASAP to cover other devices than the XDA1.
Thanks for the feedback

Here's a screenshot that's also on the website :

I'm really sorry about that, my download algorithm had a response.end, so a "Thread Aborted" was being tagged onto any download. Changing that to Response.Flush seems to have fixed it, at least for that cab file.
Please give it another go, I do appologise for coming up with such a thread with a screwed download.

Hey man, no appologies needed. Great work, thanks for the great freeware. It worked great.

Thanks Iggy. Bear with me for a few minutes if there's any problem with the download, I'm just writing some referrer protection into downloads. It won't take long.
===OK, the referrer protection is finished and it's all working again...

I just uploaded a version I call 0.5 because it's 0.5% finished. Compared to the version since I posted last in this thread there's some major bugfixes; the adjective and adverb menus now correctly show, and there's versions for different processors.

sorry ebswift, the download links don't seem to work, and once you have fixed them what is the difference between arm & arm4 (xda ii maybe). let me know when it is fixed.

The download is now fixed ~again~...
I already responded to Iggy, but just so the group knows, ARMV4 is the one that seems to be uploaded to my device during debug sessions, so I can safely say that ARMV4 is somehow newer than ARM. So I guess anything XDA1 or upwards can use ARMV4. I have had both working on my XDA1 and I can't see any difference in operation, although I haven't tested for performance.

Nice job brother. Now works perfectly

Well I added the little convenience of the keypad popping up automatically, and popping away on lost focus. There's also a couple more menu items in operation. It's really not far away from working completely, most of the technical stuff is out of the way.

Just downloaded and tried, excellent work. Thanks for setting up the keyboard, makes it a lot easier. Looking forward to the final version, but so far excellent.

I just upgraded to 0.53 so the history works (or should work).
I'm really happy the way this project is going.

All features operating
I have just uploaded WordNetCE .99 with ALL features now operating. Please update to that version and let me know if there's any bugs. Thanks!

For those of you who tried that latest download and found it didn't work, it is now patched, you should be able to get it up and running now.

Skyfire on the X1?

It looks as though the new Skyfire beta supports 640 resolution. Is there any workaround to get it to run on the X1? Even if it isn't full screen?

Tried the WVGA Fix, however it's still not working. Loads and lets me login, however it's only using a fifth of the screen on the left.

It works!! Go to get.skyfire.com with your IE browser and you will get a htc cab.. download and install it.. run wvga fix and it works...!!
I downloaded it form the Netherlands.. They say there is already a UK datacenter...

Doesn't work. I changed the resolution but when I wanna start Skyfire it keeps "connecting" without starting. When I cancel the whole thing the whole phone gets stuck...

I got it to work, but frankly I'll stick with PIE and opera. Sure the flash support is nice and all but I didn't like the UI. It felt low-res. I'm gonna wait for the next opera/PIE release.

How then? What did I do wrong?

I read on some news site like msmobiles.com or so that the browser does NOT work in all countrys right now !
I live in germany and it DOES work here ! (With WVGA Fix 2 of course)
The low-res look is caused because Skyfire "emulates" VGA right now, so it only "dublicates" the pixel (from QVGA) instead of using the VGA display to get a smoother image.
I guess future version will improve this. This is the first version to support VGA and it is still BETA
My two cents : Use Skyfire when you HAVE to open a FLASH site which does not work with Opera/Flash Lite.

Just installed the latest Skyfire beta. Yep; worked for me with the WVGA fix program.
Yeah it's a double-pixel resolution but things look good if you zoom in. In any case, its rendering of CSS and everything is flawless; just like IE does it.

No link to download a cab file to PC? Gotta access the URL through the phone?

sorry for the obvious question...but where do I get the WVGA fix program?
thank you!

found it. Sorry, I didn't realise it was a seperate app (I assumed it was a fix specifically for skyfire)
WVGAFix 2 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442426

I manage to get skyfire working, Iplayer works but sound goes after a minute
then comes back on unexpectedly then goes again what could be the problem?
btw I am impressed pity about the sound
`

What can be so annoying about some member that post on this topic lol they say go to website download and there you go.
I manage to get skyfire working sounds ok too,
for xperia the file is for touch version and my version that works has a file size of 584,909 bytes. Install to device, The version I have running for that cab says is version : 0.85.0.7927 remember to run wvga fix first and set to vga mode, Then start Skyfire
Also if you have a problem with it saying authenticate and checking data go to your phone connection settings and untick your proxy for your internet connection (effectively bypassing it)
p.s dont worry t-mobile users since your using the same acess point your data cost wont be affected depending if your on web,n walk (uk)
enjoy next time any member posting please explain fully its anoying when they generalised to a point and expect everyone to get it straight away we all are not genius phewww.. i feel better now

[DEV STOPPED!!!] wFacebook [QVGA & VGA] - SEE POST #284

EDIT:
DEVELOPMENT HAS STOPPED! Microsoft released a Facebook application which far surpasses anything i could have done. Please use that app for all your facebook addictions. It does not have Facebook chat but you can use Palringo for Facebook Chat. I've been using it for about a week now and LOVE IT! Thank you for all your support. It was a good learning experience for me!
Inspired by the other development efforts on here, I started developing my own version a facebook application.
As promised, another beta. This one including a VGA line.
See Second Post for Features and change logs
Directions:
You need .net cf 3.5
Unzip, Start app, Login and enjoy
BOTH FILES INCLUDED IN THE ZIP NEED TO BE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY!!! If you want to make a shortcut, make sure you make a SHORTCUT of the .exe and don't just copy the .exe alone
(Please not that it does take some time to first log in to facebook (some times up to 2 minutes). We are working on this issue and will hopefully reduce this time as much as possible.)
wFacebook is now full screen. To exit you must do the following:
QVGA: There is an exit button on the Home Screen (temporarily placed here)
VGA: There is an exit button on the bottom bar
NEW PICTURES COMING SOON!
Hope you guys enjoy and I will be updating this regularly. Planned features include facebook chat and other goodies. Stay tuned.

I am admittedly very weak in the graphics department. I want to make this look like what the Windows Mobile Community wants.
I am getting help developing new controls that will provide a more intuitive User Interface. Stay tuned everyone. Big things are happening. There are a decent amount of people behind this project and together we can get something very good out. Maybe start a whole series of wSomething products

i am willing to help with the graphics designing..id like to make sure that this thing works on vga though..the other application doesnt work at all on my touch pro..
just tell me the formats and size (both VGA and QVGA...i can make them in VGA first and then downscale to QVGA so that no quality is lost) of those images and i'll do my best
edit..i tried the qvga version and it does work up to one extend but the layouts are messed up
anyway let me know if you would like some help for the images
iv used a lot of photoshop tutorials recently to learn a lot of things.. here are a few icons i made recently

It does not need to be authorized. Please exit and restart the application. I have noticed a bug where if you recieve a call or text when it is connecting, something goes out of wack. Exit and restart and it should connect just fine. It does take a bit to connect but never that long.

I would be willing to help you with graphics just let me know and I'll whip some up for you

Ok just tried this app ( I can't get the other one to work at all on my wizard ) and unfortunatly when I try signing in it gives me a really long error message something bout system.indexoutofrange exception or something like tht

Is this right after you were logged in? Which button did you press? I will be uploading another version shortly that copies the error messages so you guys can attach here.
The most important thing is funtionality so I will be tackling these issues right away so any directions you can provide about what you did to get the error would be extremely helpful (if I can't reproduce it, I can't fix it).

Since facebook can be user customised with various applications and stuff, replicating an error might now always be feasible. Plus handling someone with a few thousand friends (yeah right ) could be troublesome.
Maybe for the first versions you can add a full debug log? Before every major function call you can write to file the arguments you are using (or at least a note of you are going to do). It might be slow(er) from a user perspective, but could make your life and debugging *much* easier.

As with the other Facebook application here, this one logs you out of facebook from other machines/devices when you log in with this app.

nice app
thanx bro

Very nice app. Would buy it and use it on daily basis if it only didn't take so much memory. Just runing it takes minimum 10% ekstra memory on my phone(sometimes even 20%), compared to regular HTC touchflow. That is the only drawback of the program. Besides that very nice interface, setting ability, and all the other stuff.
Does anyone else have the same memory issue, or is it just my phone? (if it's regular memory use for this program, I understand it, runs alot of 3D stuff, it's just that it starts to lag the phone if you have 1 or 2 programs open)
EDIT:
Ok, after a little bit of reading on SPB site, I can se that 3.0 version is not yet officialy released (they still only have 2.1.5 version as the oficial version on their site). This version is a beta, and not all functionality is enabled. Definetly a better visual and user friendly update compared to older version. Just hope that memory issue will be adressed in finished version.

On HTC HD there is no higher memory usage comparing with TF3D, even less. It runs smoothly without any sluggishness. Very quick display reaction on every touch. In addition, I think this trial version is already full functional, apart from that it will not work after 15 days. Hopefully Spb will release officially by that time ... so common guys ... the way you "dropped out" and let us use for beta testing is the cheapest way for you

SlingPlayer on HD2?

Does anyone have a clue how SlingPlayer will be operated on the HD2? especially the tiny Controller interface, I wonder how it will be interfaced via a capacitive screen? (I know that Sling has a player for the iPhone, which I had never seen, does it utilize a more finger freindly interface?)
Thanks

Anyone has an idea on that matter?

Tiny but it works, it's the same size as on my Diamond 2.....but Full Screen mode rulezzzzzzz

Thanks

When I had the Toshiba TG01 slingplayer's video quality was far better than on any other winmo device I tried and the iPhone.
If you have a good internet connection you will get 30fps no problem all the time.
I believe the HD2 will be the same.

The controls are small but usable, bearly.
I have been trying to drum up support on the uservoice forum for sling to get better controls for windows mobile. I have posted request for support before but as I suspect the total amount of users that use a slingbox is quite low so its slow going.
I have recently done the same thing for the layar app and support for that is amazing.
So I'll try again and see if we can get some updates from sling.
Please register and give your comment & votes. If we don't ask we don't get!!

Hey Man, are you using version 1.6? How did you get fullscreen, mine shows black bars in the sides, no matter if i use letterbox or normal display .
By the way, I have a Slingbox classic...

Hi. It seems pretty quiet in this thread so I'm guessing slingbox/-player isn't that widely used. By HD2-owners at least. Still I'm hoping someone has some input for downloading the slingplayer on HD2.
I've noticed that HD2 isn't listed as supported at all on http://www.slingmedia.com/go/slingplayer-mobile but judging by this thread people are obviously using it.
When I go to mobile.slingmedia.com as instructed I only get the choice between Motorola and Sony Ericsson when choosing my country. The nearest I think I come to the HD2 is the Touch Pro II version by selecting US as country. I have downloaded this cab, but I haven't installed it yet.
Now I guess it won't hurt to install this .cab, but does anyone know if this works and if so is the best choice?
And it seems this is the 2.0 version which seems to only be supported for the US. If so, is it still possible to download the previous version? I can't really see them mentioning the different versions at all on slingmedia.com...
Sorry if this got a bit long, but I've just purchased a sling box solo and making it work on HD2 is kind of a key element

I don't download a device specific version, Some how you can get it to just say Windows Mobile 5/6 and Touch then it will give you the right version.

I do see the choice of windows mobile 6 on my computer, but I can only go as far as http://support.slingbox.com/go/dl-spm-winphone-spm2 and then it says that "Desktop downloads are not available for SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Phones". When i switch to HD2 and go to http://mobile.slingmedia.com I come to the previous mentioned country and phone choosing predicament.
Do you have a download link for me? And do you download the program on your computer first or directly on the HD2? I'm feeling kind of silly thinking this really shouldn't be this hard...

I have just been through the download web page on my phone and all you need to do is select "Other Windows Mobile" Then it will give you the option of Touch Screen WM6 or WM5 or Non Touch Screen etc.
Just Pick WM6 Touch Screen and thats the version you need. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for your efforts but I'm still not there.
In Opera on HD2 I don't se the choice of "other windows mobile" only "Windows phone" (I'm here: http://support.slingbox.com/go/downloads-spm). When I choose windows phone I do get the three choices you mention. When choosing WM6 Touch I come to http://support.slingbox.com/go/dl-spm-winphone-spm2 just as I would on my laptop. There I find no download link just that it tells me to go to http://mobile.slingmedia.com on my mobile.
Is this what you are doing? I really would appreciate a link to the page you start from and/or perhaps a link to a page with an actual download button...

Hmmmm
This is the link that I have in my bookmarks from when I first updated to Version 2. It definatly comes up with option "other windows mobile" in my Opera
http://mobile.slingmedia.com/go/phoneSelector

Thanks. It may be that you can skip the country choice page, but I believe I've been her before when I chose the US.
As I mentioned in my first post I downloaded the Touch Pro II version. The thing I was wondering most about was if this is correct for the HD2? And if it works even if you're not in the US? I can't really figure out why that should matter in the first place...
By the way, how is the sling player on HD2 working out for you? I saw there was some comments on a decrease in quality in v2.0? Weird, but still I might accept that for some better controls...

Didn't work with my Opera Mini
I had to use Explorer to see the options.
I also loaded it on my old Tilt to see if there was a difference in video quality from 1.6, as stated on the other thread in Themes and Apps, or if it was an HD2 issue. There was a noticeable negative difference, but good streaming. Went back to 1.6 and had same good streaming with better quality video. Try both and make your choice. Signal strength on both ends makes a difference. Poor quality images are better than no images at all.
