iPhone App for WM - LookAlike

Please close this thread someone

I like it, good work. I like it especially it is a 3rd party software so that I can keep my Today screen. BTW, whats the diff of yours compared to the one at the other thread?
Anyway, although getting the aye-Phone interface is good for a start, I think it ought to be able to get some artist to make a better looking interface than aye-Phone.
BTW, as suggestion (for feature), I'm just wondering if you can make your app to respond to the D-Pad (the directional button), like those (say) SonyE phone and then display another graphics to show that the button is being selected.
Design case example:
All icons are black-white. Using your directional button, it goes from one icon to another. The selected icon will have colour (depending on design), and pushing the 'action' button will make it launch the app.
Final thing, whats the difference between yours and the one mentioned at the other thread?

The Difference is that the other one was in 12/24 hour format, it has no exit button, its 1Meg in size, it has some memory leaks that people complained about. Im sure mine has issues as well so please test and let me know.
I can possible make it work on the dialpad with different icons when they have focus. I just wanne make sure it wont eat too much memory and become to slow. Im not good with graphics at all so any suggestions will be appreciated

I was thinking of a config module, for easier? configuration.
interested?

Good Idea, Ill work on that unless you wanna make it? What do you mean by enabled, should it not show or should it be grayed out?

I can try make it(i hope). Kinda newbie at programing, but i think i can make it work.
should i make it a seperate app and just make it change the config files?
think that would be the easiest, maybe.

Yep write a new app if you want and access the config files it would be the easiest. Im also new at programming. What i know i taught myself so thats why its so difficult to do this. This app took my 8 hours to write and im sure someone else could have done it faster and better. Lemme know if you know how to get the Network operator name and Signal strength and battery level out of the registry. I know where they are stored but cant seem to read data from the registry

try this one: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4640/2/
dunno what you can make out of it, since im learning VB.NET atm and have no clue about C#
found something from a previous app i made for windows, here is some of the code i used, dunno how it's done in C# but im guessing it wouldnt be very different
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey
Dim regSubKey As RegistryKey
RegKey = Registry.LocalMachine
regSubKey = RegKey.CreateSubKey("SOFTWARE\Example")
regSubKey.SetValue("ExampleDwordValue", "0")
i think i would have used
regSubKey.GetValue("ExampleValue")
in VB but you should just try to find it.
hope it helps you in some way.

Lightweight and fast is good. As what you're doing is basically possible with WA + WAD. BTW, as for the settings, you may want to have the (4 x 4) + (1 x 4) icon grid flexible, incase people want to have large icons (less stuff to launch?). An ayeFone alternatives design, take a look here

I was thinking of removing the whole icon if you dont want it
edit: removing as in hiding

Follow Up
I got the signal strengt working as well as reading the operator name from the registry. The only help i need now is to get the battery level from somewhere withing the registry, ill update the zip files on th first post

sounds good with the provider and signal info, will test it right now.
the icons: since i just arrived home, i did not have any new icons yet. but for workaround reasons, i attached a zip-file with the original iphone-icons , and a zip-file with the alternative icons. i numbered them in the original-iphone-order and added an additional rss-icon (for the 16. field).
(i was not really shure why you choose these other icons in the release (where are they from?)), but the original icons worked just fine for me. the alternatives also.
a blurry picture with before-and-after (left->your release right-> the original icons) is also attached.

roger that! and thanks for the screen-capture application.
i'll try to install it via parallels (a mac and a pocket pc is a disastreous combination )
one request: maybe you should use version-numbers by now. its hard to follow which iphone-zip-folder is the "up to date" one.

Tried using SNAPI?
Trying to remember but I think it was something like SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.PowerBatteryStrength).
Will test/check when I get home
*Edit* If you don't want to download the sn api then I think wm stores all state information in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State (battery strength, display orientation, num missed calls, num new sms's etc) */Edit*

Erg, sorry, just noticed the "Visual Studio 2003" part now. SNAPI requires 2005 afaik. Gonna have to grab it from manually from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Status\Battery

ok just tried the latest release. could it be that other file-extensions then *.exe are not recognized?
i.e.: .tr3 or .lnk (i tried to access a tomeraider file and a link to my contacts - but no luck)
furthermore, german pathnames including umlaute ÄÖÜßöäü doesnt work
attachment: was in need for a quick wikipedi /wikimedia icon

does this one have the slide lock?

[APP][Update 07-11-08] LockDown, keeping stuff private

Don't you hate it when you let someone play with your shiny new WM phone
they usually go right to your SMS inbox?
jonesj8 had the same irritation, so inspired by him I threw something together
Original thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375057
I created a new thread to have a bit more overview, and also to get it under the attention of other users who might be interested
@mods
I can understand if you close this thread...
How does it work.
this version requires you to change all the .lnk files pointing to tmail.exe, or to the dll...maybe even other ones...
I say all lnk's but the most important are the ones the "friend" is going see/use.
I've included a shortcut creator in the attachment.
In FileList.ini specify the application to block,
in the included file it's \WIndows\tmail.exe
and i've used msg as argument.
so in the .lnk would point to lockdown.exe with the argument msg
if the passcode is correct the file will be opened.
it's not very quick (since it needs to be opened) but this should change in the next version.
the passcode can be changed in the settings.ini, default is 12345
Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas
Update Version 0.4
Well I finally got around to an update, which is attached below
The application has been rebuild from the ground up, I've used a Lock and Key method, e.g. the lnk uses key.exe which communicates with the server (the lock) this way the server only needs to read the filelist once which should save time.
<note>
because of this you will need to enter the items in the FileList.ini prior to starting the server, when the server is running it will create the used shortcuts for you
which you can then place.
if you add stuff while it is running the shortcuts wont be created...
pointers on making the FileList.ini is in the readme below.
New in this version
- installer (cab)
- app to date support
- redesigned layout
- support for arguments, opening the sms should work now, it does for me
- locking of other files should work now too (thesed with a html file)
- automatically create the proper lnk files in sub folder
To do
- include support for different screen sizes
- way to customize the colors
- mask input with *
- skinning...?
In case someone is bored and wants to create the graphics, be my guest,
My creativity in that department is next to null

Sounds great. Any chance of a screenshot of the lock screen?

Thanks, trying it now

works good, cant seem to get arguments passed to tmail.exe in settings.ini
ie.
msg=\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS"
just opens account picker, is on todo list? not bugging you, good app,
thx!

great will it run on VGA? make it as simple as you can so when we are in hurry the soft won't load so long

This looks nice and configurable.
Are we able to make it request the pin for any application listed in FileList? First try didn't work, I want to restrict more than just the inbox

sorry, double post

Correct that isn't working... also i'm not sure if it will be in there,
the reason is I wanted to change the app so it looks at the window name,
this would close all message related windows, and there is no need to change the .lnk files

Currently any application can be restricted by providing a ID + location, e.g
xyz=\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe
changing the link to tcpmp would have lockdown popup first
What application would you like to restrict?

Basically, no
but as a workaround you could try making an lnk to tmail.exe with the -service etc. in there, next change the FileList.ini pointing to that new lnk...
not sure if it will work though

Can test it you want.

now, that you mention it yes, i have tried it and it does not work, if it is the specific html file. the lockdown screen would still appear but nothing happens after entering the code. maybe it will work, if the iexplore.exe itself is lockdown but this will lock down every/all html files. would it be a big change to code it, just for specific html files? i'm also thinking on specific text files just like the said html files. i keep notes on pure text files like tax account number, passwords, pincodes, etc in a text or word file. maybe this is pushing too far. maybe in the next version/release? hehehe thank you for sharing and more power...

Sorry I was on holidays
I've tested with PIE.exe and i plan this for the next version.
Please note though that this tool is only for making sure "friends" don't read your personal stuff very easy, but passwords/pin codes might be a bit too high risk..

I think this should be further developed! It really should come standard on winmob... hey Gee, if you need a cab builder or photoshop, I'd be happy to help! Let's make this idea the next ROM must-have!

I wanna use this program because every time someone wants to see my phone, they get to snooping into my personal info. However, I'm afriad if I start changing things manually, I'll screw my phone up.

[app]Autosms by snoman to automatically send SMS

Without detailed knowledge about the background of this request, I'd say: try this automation task with Mirko Schenks' MortScript
http://mort.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29

i just want to send an automatic sms to the service center that request the detail of my usage. i want to keep track of how many MBs and minutes are left from my account
i think you forgot to post the script

fatso485 said:
...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that was a good one... uups ;-) I'm serious now:
<MortScript>
MortScript is a script interpreter that allows you to do a lot of task automation stuff and even a quite huge command set for implementing logic, it is not a ready-to-run script that matches your "autosms sending" needs. I dont know much about MortScript but I know that is it very powerfull.
</MortScript>
Perhaps you'd like to have a look at this: autosms 0.43 (Feb 04 09), created yesterday
Motivated by ur request, I did some dev playing with sms coding yesterday on the train and here's a WinMobile prog that's doing the job... but caution: this is a very early (and ugly looking) version.
There is currently no MINIMIZE but you can simply keep the prog open.
Some menu items are not set so far, i.e. EXIT. If you want to exit, just use the upper right 'x'.
The STARTBUTTON toogles between Start to STOP and starts/stops the timer.
The first message is sent directly after pushing on START.
When STOPPING, sending shortMessages is stopped and the timer is reset to the cycle time set in the form field 'send every ___ Mins'.
The settings are stored in autosms.ini and are loaded at prog start and saved at prog end.
The prog works fine and stable on my X1, anyway there is an issue with VGA devices but as I told you, this is an early hack...
Be aware: autosms comes "as is" without any guarantees or warranty. You use it for your own risk. autosms automatically sends short messages every X Minutes (preset X to 2000) to the set cell phone number. Using autosms can cost u a fortune, so, I'm not responsible for any financial desaster or data loss or and legal trouble you might produce when bothering others through sms flodding.
so short

thank you so much for your work. it really does work.i need to leave it for a couple of days to test stability. i will also add it to the start up programs
a few things to look into in case you get borded and decide to update this:
-as you said, needs to minimize. starting it again does not seem to work.i had to reboot my device
-used vga3fix to get vga resolution and it seems to work fine
-i changed the default 2000 to 2 just to test and it started sending every two seconds not minutes (thank god service center messages are FREE) i got
- the dialog that has 60,1440,2880 doesnt do anything

sorry!!! I am internally multiplying the field value with 1000 because the internal timer counts in ms... and of cause: 2000 ms = 2 s

did you try power sms ?

seems like a nice update. .. thanks
will look into power sms after i test 0.44 properly. thanks

Try RJV SMS Scheduler

thank
Thank i will try it out

where were all these replies before. you made snoman reach his 3rd version before answering.......jk
snoman, for text version. how about you make it more friendly for phone startup. i just want to make it easy to autosms start without me having to manually run it and then click "start".
how about you just make it come with another executable (that is fully automatic) that we can create a shortcut to from the startup folder from win directory

good idea. I'll make a parameter just only need to add after the .exe in the shortcut, i.e.
'autosms.exe autostart' if'll then reads the settings from ini and automatically switches into start mode

Thanks again. I just made the first CAB file for installation. If works fine on my XDA Neo.
Would you mind checking out if it works on ur device?

the cab runs just fine on my device and the qvga wizard. thanks for your work. your program is set to work from startup
now im just being picky with the following wishlist:
-but why did the size grow from 25k to 115k for the same thing. any way of making the cab smaller. maybe recompressing indivsual files?
-not important but also can you somehow make it work as single portable executable (like pimBackup 2.8 that everybody loved to just keep in the SD card)
-also the red square icon is a bit on the plane side how about you just reuse the envelope and stopwatch used in the program as the icon for autosms

Thank you for testing and the reply!

Well, the size is mainly given by the exe and the dll and the bitmap I use and they need approx. 110 KB. My CAB builder does not compress, maybe he cannot or I havn't found the flag. I'll check it out these days.

Beside the need to deliver some dlls the single-file-solution means to give up with saving the parameters like "Cellphone No" or "Message Text" who need at least a file for storage and I'd like to avoid the registry.

Thanks alot for this, I wasn't keen on the other 1 but this is perfect! Good work!

it looks nice

I like your choice of items a bit more
Thanks!

well done
really usefull

Cheers! Good to see you people like it.
If there's anything you'd like to see improved, post it and I'll consider the good ideas.

edit: opps. i just realised i was posting this here should have been in the original thread...ohh well. mods feel free to delete this
----------------------------------------------------
i like it a lot as it is but there are a number of things you might want to consider:
1-i think an extra raw of apps can be added while keeping the the finger friendliness.
2- make it startable as an executable or soft key from tf3d hoome or button
3- option for discovravle mode blutooth
4- make it easy to change default apps

ohh btw, why is it relatively big 1.6mb for an app starter. can it be redused? mabe change the color depth or something

It's mostly the skin. The original application uses a sucky compression. There's no way I can reduce it and to me, 1.6mb is squat.

"Shutdown" gives an error (it didn't with smaberg's):
"Couldn't find PowerOFFLNK.lnk or PowerOFFEXE.exe"
Also "Calculator" gives the waiting icon and then nothing - I probably either have to edit the shortcut to windows default calculator or find HTC calculator from somewhere... Any ideas where to get the one that works with this setup?
Is the editing of application paths the same as with smaberg's? BIOTOUCH etc?

I actually like this one more then smabergs one, but it still isn`t perfect. Would it be possible to create a setup tool which would allow you to edit all the buttons?
I can`t imagine it being too hard since it`s just a few reg changes you would have to make?
//edit: I would love to make it myself but I guess it would take ages (at least, maybe longer) before I would be done.
However, if anyone knows the command you have to pass to the text client to automatically start the message for a certain person I would be more then pleased .

And yes, the calculator points to HTCCalculator. As this is based on smaberg's app, the paths are edited the same way.
You can download the HTCcalculator from this forum.

I actually like this one more then smabergs one, but it still isn`t perfect. Would it be possible to create a setup tool which would allow you to edit all the buttons?
I can`t imagine it being too hard since it`s just a few reg changes you would have to make?
//edit: I would love to make it myself but I guess it would take ages (at least, maybe longer) before I would be done.
However, if anyone knows the command you have to pass to the text client to automatically start the message for a certain person I would be more then pleased .

Creating that setup tool would take me longer than it would take you (and everyone else) to find out how to edit it.
Also, you'd only be able to edit the execute paths, not the icons (skin).
And I don't know the parameter for a certain person (even if it's possible).
*** EDIT ***
Updated to 1.1.

True. That`s why I`m editing it right now.
I want to make a cab of it cause I reinstall allot!
But I have a little problem creating a new cab.
I used a cab extractor to get all the files out, but what did you use to create the cab itself?
I used several tools but they all fail to install..
Thanks in advance for the help, I really appreciate it.
//edit: I managed to create a cab, actionscreens rock

Great. Thanks for 1.1.
I found the HTC Calculator and now everything not only looks great but also works

I actually managed to create a cab. Furthermore, I was able to make a shortcut for a sms contact (well technically it`s a number, but it stands for a contact)
The shortcut should be to tmail.exe and its parameters are:
Code:
-service """sms""" -to """the number"""

Hehe, nice one. Making cabs isn't hard, just use WINCE cab mgr.

great app and good things added to smabergs port
but i think with this u can do so much more.
beginning with the skin. the shadowsong skin doesnt fit on any x1 and the manila skin is boring for me.
i really like to give a contribution to this app in form of a new skin/design
but i dont know how to do it. can u pack all the image files in 1 rar and upload it here so i can modify them?
thnx in advance
(oh and sry for bad english...)

just a word of advice to all who use this app.. I have american x1a and used phone (babied) it was pwerfect, until i tried to take battery cover off and inadvetantly put a finger on the power button while leveraging it off. my power btton sunk in and jammed, staying with no way of extracting. cost me 185 to repair via sony, they formatted my phone and were less than helpful... DONT ABUSE UR POWER BUTTON! IT MAY JAM!

I vote +1 for "funniest post in the X1 forum". xD
Oh, and Kid_DC, the shadowsong skin fits perfectly with my TF3D shadowsong theme
I know what you mean though. I've already improved the black skin a bit.
The skin files are installed to your \windows\AnX1\Actionscreen folder, they're .brn files. You can find a converter brm <-> bmp here on xda.

and why do u use brm, when u first have to convert them?
are they smaller?

best calculator for PPC ever

I found SFR Calculator is actually gorgeously BEST!!
it remains the entries and results in the onscreen papersheet,I thought this is not neat thing,but after I tried it personally,it's rapturously good.
In simple calculation, I think SFR Calculator is better than Hicalc,iSS SciCalc,Panoramic Calc Pro,Omega One 1-Calc etc.
Hicalc etc are very cumbersome.
Try to calculate 750/9654 for example,in SFR Calculator v2.0.0,the result is 0.07768800...
(if the result is not this,you can go to Menu >Extras >Preferences >Rouding >no rounding)
If you try iSS SciCalc,Panoramic Calc Pro etc,the result is 7.768800 -002,there is no setting to make the result become 0.07768800...
So which one is best?
If you want to see the screen shot and download,pls search Google "SFR Calculator v2.0.0 mobil***",the first result. [edited:the site the google search will direct to is against xda rules]
You can go to Menu >Extras >Preferences to make buttons bigger,so it's very finger friendly.
Forget about HTC calculator,yes,it's very good looking,but it only supports 9-digit in portrait mode. see my complaint:

pffff...
I think you have some problems with maths/physics.. Do you know what is scientific (exponential) notation ??? FYI, 0,077688 = 7,7688 * 10^(-2)
Exponential notation is standard form of number writing, so the answer should be written in this form

Hmm, if I use HTC Calculator, and simply rotate my device (don't even have to slide out the keyboard) that same calculation (750/9654) results in 0.07768800497203. So, which one is better?

Just thought I'd raise the fact that you're directing people to an illegal warez site, which is against forum rules. Suggest editing your post to remove that...

I know this. but it's not easy to rotate the screen...anyway,it's awkward movement,when you move your hand to write the number,maybe the screen "eacapes' back to portrait mode,everyone knows what i mean.
plus,some roms....there is no auto landscape mode for HTC Calculator,you must slide keyboard out,moreover....in landscape,it's kinda scientific calculator,in screen it appears like this" 3+5*6-9". I want a calculator like the one we use in our office.

thanks for comment,yes,my math is indeed bad,so I dont want to stand there using my brain to figure out 7,7688 * 10^(-2) is 0,077688.
I want the screen to show exactly 0,077688.

thanks for reminding,I edited the post.this way members will not be able to get the correct result.

i if you want a really powerful calculator, you should try SMath studio (it's freeware) . Maybe, the interface is not user-friendly.. it is quite similar to MathCad : )

thanks for recommendation,I checked SMath studio website,it's good software,but probably not for me,it's more like for colleage students.
