Fellow XDA members,
Im currently busy trying to build a (basic) (outgoing) minute 'monitor', based on your personal input in free minutes in a textbox in the program.
The idea:
Input your allowed free minutes for this month and save it as a Registry Value i.e. MyMinutes.
Get the current Value (OutgoingVoiceCurrent) and copy it (OutgoingVoiceThisMonth).
This to insure you DON'T loose any values which could brick your phone.
Then simply do a math:
MinutesLeft = MyMinutes - (OutgoingVoiceCurrent - OutgoingVoiceThisMonth)
My programming skills are super basic, so IF it works, it'll could work for the Touch Pro 2 (maybe more phones, it should work as long as WM creates the registry values we need). But any help here would be appreciated.
My idea is to make it a free program once ready and working, and perhaps work with a little donation.
So is there anybody who wants/could lend a hand?
Version 0.1 beta:
- Code works
- Output to registry works
- Rounding to minutes works
- Set a new month works, yet doesn't recalculate the fields yet.
- Contains 'debug' output fields to check values set/calculated
Screen & Explanation:
1. Your currently Set Free Minutes
2. Field to input your New Free Minutes (will post to Register and Update field 1.)
3. Is your total used minutes during your phone's lifespan if you haven't reset the registry value / Installed a new rom (The original value is in seconds)
4. Your currently Used Minutes this Month
5. Minutes Left (kind a obvious)
6. Clicking 'New Month' will copy your currently used minutes from box 3. and calculate box 4.
Debug:
7. The value set by clicking 'New Month'
8. The original OutgoingVoiceCurrent value from the registry in seconds
9. Check the rounding of the Minutes

Update:
So far i've been able to get my program to get the required information from the registry.
It shows the current total called minutes (OutgoingVoiceCurrent) and displays it in a textbox as a value.
I've been able to set up a box where you can set your Free minutes this month.
All that rests now is to find a way to 'calculate' howmany minutes there are left.
And possibly reset the counter without resetting ALL the values, i.e: A button named 'New Month' which resets the counter so it shows how much Free minutes you would have at that time.
Update:
It's working! I guess.. It has a self installing cab + Start menu link.
It saves all the values needed in the Registry and does a Math based on the values.
It takes the value 'OutgoingCurrentValue' converts it to Minutes and rounds that up, so to be sure that if you call 90 seconds it shows 2 minutes, not 1.5.
It then calculates your minutes used this month based on the input it's set on (you can manually 'reset' it so that every new month starts with '0' minutes used)
You can manually set your Free Minutes per month. After changing the value it automatically updates the form.
If anyone is interested in testing, please let met know!
yeah this was No2Chems idea but he has been mia for a few months he has a working verison for qvga carrier sprint find it @ nuerom.com
i would test it....
@adrianh85:
i didnt know No2Chems was making one. if that one gets released publicly it will probably kick my program's ass..
@Jurcek:
See the attachment of this post. Let me know if it works, and what you think of it. Just keep it mind it 's not perfect. I'll update the startpost with two screenshots and explain how to set it up.

If i am been remembered of a task, a window appears. I can delay this window by pressing the right button and can adjust: 5 min, 15 min, 1h or 1 day. Can i edit these settings, maybe in the registry?
The difference between 1 h and 1 day is very huge...

Yeah, I miss the 2h and 8h option too, it was there in 2003SE. I don't know if we can change this, though...
Some kind of problem her, and more ;
Don't you all hate the itsybitsy tiny buttons on the reminder ?
It's hard to select "snooze" while driving your care, and even worse to set the "snooze time" to 10 or 15 minutes.
a 5 Min. snooze is rather useless te me if i'm driving....
So i'd option for a total replacement

Vijay555 made something for this for WM2003SE. Search in the forums or on his homepage.
Hidestart, yes i know.. but it doesnt work, at least not on my Himalaya
Hidestart isn't on my webpage, it was a research beta that I stopped developing because there is an issue.

Don't you hate it on WM2003 when you've got 5 reminders pop up, but no time to deal with them all immediately, eg press snooze 5 times etc? However, the reminders block all access to any other program.
So HideStart had a feature to let you move reminders, not snooze them etc, and bring them back when you can deal with them ("ghosting"). Hidestart also remodelled reminders to be easier to use with your thumb (FYI code turned into VJBigPhone). However, reminders have a "feature" where they will always steal the focus to remind you that you have reminders, even if they're hidden.
Anyway, I'll explain further later, but just again, FYI, VJOkButt now features a super duper version of reminder ghosting. I'll report soon, I'm playing with the beta now.
I don't know how we can reformat reminders on WM5. On VJSihaya I intend to do this in a nice way, but on the standard OS it's difficult to represent the info in a nice way. Although, I have an idea - perhaps we can monitor when a reminder balloon comes up and show enhanced, enlarged soft keys. That code will grow out of VJToggleToday... eventually

I have looked high and low. I cannot find a setting anywhere that will change the time from military time to 12 hour time? Anyone know what i am missing?
Thanks.
Settings > System *tab* > Regional Settings > Time *tab*
Look at the options under "Time style"
when I change the settings under the time tab, nothing changes. Calendar still has 24 hour time. I am truly stumped. Any other suggestions?
Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time
Go to Time Style : Select h:mm:ss tt
the suggestions so far do not work. I have changed the setting followed with a soft-reset with no luck. My time seems to only change from 24 hour to 24 hour.

You can try to change to a different regional setting in the region tab.
Some regions use HH:mm:ss or H:mm:ss which is for 24 hour system
Some reigions use hh:mm:ss tt or h:mm:ss tt which is for 12 hour plus "am" and "pm".
I have also been unable to change the time settings. I learned to live with it..
just to be clear are you both sure you've scrolled up in the time selection field. You have to scroll to the very top. It starts out about 2 down from the top and the format looks very similar. it all needs to be lower case.
If you've done this then I understand your resignation.
Also a thought, what region are you selecting?

Haha. I told a 16 year old what problems I have been having with the time for the last week and he fixed it in about 3 seconds. I simply didnt realize there was a scroll bar on the side. I hadnt scrolled all the way up. I am a goof.
Thanks for all the help.

Hehe, good call on that mtarro! Glad it's sorted now :lol:
Use Resco Registry editor or other program to Edit Registry: 8)
Add the string values:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
create string value:
"STFmt" for h:mm tM
"S1159" for AM
"S2359" for Pm
Then soft reset,

Heya,
This is my first WM app, and the first time I've ever had to motivation to finish an application programming project! (I'm more the webby type usually). I hope I've posted this in the right place - I did have a good look around first!
The motivation behind it was that an official Phaser application came out for the iPhone, but it's more of a gamey type app. I wanted a 'phaser' application for my phone (XDA Ignito/HTC Touch Diamond) and there didn't seem to be one out there - so I figured it was time to have a go!
This is based on the Type2 hand phaser from Star Trek: The Next Generation and words on both my phone (WM6.1) and my old iPAQ 2790 (WM5). It seems to require the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 to run.
--
Known bug: the deployment CAB forces the device to install the application in the internal memory rather than the expansion card - otherwise the sounds don't work. I'm working on getting that sorted along with some additional features for version 2.

Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated by this humble n00b.

Nice idea, but two bugs atm:
* Doesn't play any sound (path is hardcoded?)
* switching from on -> off -> on the phaser lavel isn't saved
Wishes:
* +/- buttons needs some kind of repeat.
* some nicer gfx
* Output level should be redesigned
* fullscreen
No sound on my device (Blackstone) also being the app installed on main memory. Maybe you have harcoded the %ProgramFiles% path as well? Since I have a localized rom (\Programmi)
Works great on my Tilt. Sound is good, On/off switch does power it down, but no big deal, one would want any fatal accidents caused by accidently turning it on in disruptive mode.
Very nice useless app. Now that's all that you need is WM useless app store, like iPhone and you will be rich.
Nice one.
If you need a layout more "Federantionish" let me know.
---edit---
Found this on google, hope it helps:
Thanks for looking all
Sound bug: I tried putting in relative paths and even just everything in the same folder - but that didn't work at all on either of my devices. Not sure what I'm doing wrong there. I knew that hard-coding wasn't a good way to go, but I'm hoping to work out how to rectify it as I work on the other couple of app ideas I've got, plus version 2 of this.
The line which plays the sound currently looks like:
PlaySound(("/Program Files/ST Apps/sounds/Stunsnd.wav"), IntPtr.Zero, SND_FILENAME Or SND_SYNC)
When I just put everything in one folder, it looked more like:
PlaySound(("Stunsnd.wav"), IntPtr.Zero, SND_FILENAME Or SND_SYNC)
This would definately account for your problem bbonzz. I didn't think about localised ROMs - but of course! Will make sure to remember that. Definately won't be hard-coding paths from now on - I've learned my lesson
Power level drops when switched off 'bug': That was actually deliberate! Personally, I felt that it should reset when you switch it off and on again. However, I may be in the minority here, so I'll take that line out if people would prefer it to save the state.
Small additional thing I put in to help get from 'on' to max' in a hurry is - if you use the up and down buttons on your device, it'll 'jump' to the beginning/end of each level (stun, thermal, disrupt, explode/disrupt), meaning you can get to get to max power in 5 presses rather than 15
I might bind the left and right buttons to be straight to 1 and straight to 16 in version 2 for the same reason. It's nice to be able to get from one end to the other quickly.
Also - re: wishlists and suggestions - all noted and will be taken on board for the next version. Thanks
The software Help! displays a student or pupil on base of their time-table / schedule,

Does this application displays the pop up schedules according to time automatically or does it needs to be opened manually to view the schedules...
Cheers

Looks very good, if it could join with the main calendar then this would be a fantastic peice of software for me (uni student).

Normally the application shows the current and next hour - but after school (if no lessons are left) the packing list is displayed automatically without clicking on "Show packing list".
The whole schedule of the day can be viewed by clicking on the option in the menu.
For more information check out the description of Help!.
edit: ok, I see - you meant if it displays a pop-up message when the lesson is coming closer.
No, it needs to be opened manually (e.g. by clicking on a predefined softkey).
Otherwise a running application could be affected by the appearing window.

Hello! I REALLY need your help! I have an asus a002a, worked fine, but the battery started to die with age. Today I found out in the evening that he sat down to 0, but I had to go outside and I left him like that, came home after 20 minutes, put him on charge. I turn it on, and it shows me the picture "Launching Android", which I have not seen before (picture for spoiler # 1). Then I look, and the notification curtain has become very small and does not unfold as before (spoiler # 2) ... do not change the brightness, etc.. I also look, the date and time have gone wrong .... system settings and it asked me again enable the checkbox to allow installation of packages from an external source. Then ... THE BUTTONS Home and Browse open applications DO NOT WORK, only the back button (the home button and applications work, they glow when I press it, but the return and review functions do not work) .... I DECIDED TO GO TO THE SETTINGS FOR DEVELOPERS ... and what do you think??? It writes to me: This user has no developer options (spoiler #3) I'm Awesome! I thought maybe I have some kind of safe mode.. restarted through the recovery in normal mode... nothing has changed... The "zenui system interface or whatever it is" disappeared from the list of applications ... downloaded a new one installed the same version from the Internet (I wrote it down a long time ago) ... nothing has changed .. I have NO KNOW what happened ... but it’s obvious that the bodies sat down so much that they didn’t receive power and reset all settings ...! There is an assumption that after the reset he should have shown the phone settings program (I read on xda that if you reset the bodies it asks in this screen to connect to wifi, but this model a002a wifi only works in the usa (above you can read how I hopelessly tried to solve this problem in this topic) ) And in general I have a suspicion that it should have shown this settings window and blocked the exit keys so that the program could not be exited and did not give full access ... but I turned off all the standard verizon applications because they worked in the background and ate the battery ...: unsure: And now it can't show the window and unlock the bodies, but this is just my meager guess ... I really need your advice and help .. how to return access to the developer tools, make the buttons work and return the normal curtain? I'm very sad....
