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.

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.

I was just messing around to see if the autosizing will work, the icons you have look good so ill use them. I still need an .ico file for the actual app. Any Ideas? O i attached a screen capture app you can try so you dont have to take funny pics hehe

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?

Hi guys, hopefully this'll be a simple one. Like the TF3D calendar app, I'd like to see this one with a TF3D tab. It's just a notepad, really. I'm not bothered about loading/saving different note files, would just like a note to appear on the page, editable of course. It would be up to the user how to use it, but for me, it would just be for reminders, or to-dos.
I'd like to see what peoples' thoughts are on this one, and look forward to seeing what happens
Thanks!
I second that!! I think it would be great to just write something quick and sto store it in the TF Notepad tab. that should be great!
I'd be interested to see what ideas others have for this.
I was also thinking about text entry... maybe it wouldn't be done through TF3D, but more like how text messages are written - a button leading to the note editor, and all the TF3D app does is reference a note file for display or something.
Or more, like Notepad/Paint..
could be quite nice to have a paint-program in TF3D
Maybe something like this!?
Use the stylus to write something directly in a TF3D Tab!!
It's a fake!.. so no comments like 'Please, Please can u make it for me!?' or 'Where can I download it?!
Like that indeed
Put a TFLO3d border around it and a tflo3d scrollthingie and off you go.
Just slik.

I'd also like to see plain text entry, as my handwriting is appalling, doubly so on the Diamond
Well, text-based notepad is planned for my new iPhone-like UI (and then for standard manila). But no handwriting possible - manila don't have any drawing API.
this software allows you to write within any other program running, you do not have to be "in" TF3D.
the problem is, that when using stylus - insead of being able to write - you scroll.
http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=calcnote.html
any ideas?
you should desactivate scrolling in touchflo maybe with some registry key like i do on my trinity with the adapted touchflo (touch scrolling features and cube in trinity). But scrolling will be desactivated for all others app...
perhaps on top of the notepad.. could includes note browser to choose archive notes or start new notes.. and better off have page navigation..

this was a feature available in TF in trinity etc. you cannot edit TF on diamond.
however- the builtin notepad works fine with scrolling - other software does not work as well: calcnote, and Phatpad - same issue.
ideas?
Like I said before, I think something that worked similar to how you write text messages, where it displays the messages in TF3D, but editing takes place in the standard text messaging app. So, for this idea, you'd see the notes in TF3D, but editing them would be done in the notes app or something. That's not inconsistent with the way other TF3D apps work, and it gets around the scrolling problem. You could probably flick through notes like you would a text message.

hehe, i knew it, nisse you were just asking for it don't start a fire you can't put out
now, happy developing once you get fed up with all those ppl pm'ing you and asking for the cab
but, seriously, if anybody really gets down to it and makes a tab for taking quick notes, i bet many ppl will be grateful (including me)

Not sure exaclty what your looking for but I use an app called "The Pad" from www.visualit.co.uk installed and remapped my right soft key to open the pad. Really useful for scribbling notes, telephone numbers etc on the fly.

Hey,
my questions:
1. I love Evernote app but I just hate the fact it's just online app!
Do we have any comparable normal, offline application??
2. One thing I deeply miss on my X1 comparing to P1 also by SE,
is advanced photo/picture editor on the phone.
Do we have it available?? With working on contrast and effects....
Grateful for any replies....

did you actually manage to save any changes?
I can't seem to be able to save ANY changes made to the picture.
After choosing to submit any changes the picture comes back to it's original state.
Are there any tips to do that?
You have to choose one picture, then change what you want and then you have to click "set" (don't know if it is really "set" because I'm working with the German version; if not something similar). Then the programm saves automatically a copy of the edited pic with all changes. You should just click really through all the options-dialogues and see what you can do there

Actually i did so ;-) and couldn't save it.
Anyway I will check it again, the app promises alot!
Ok, I got it to work!
It saves the picture when you choose to submit/set it on the second page,
where the first is the options like contrast etc,
and the second is the file type/quality choice.
Thanks again.
The app works quite nice. Can do enough with the pictures to really enhance it or completely remake it graphically.
Almost like a PC app!
Hey guys,
Since i found the icon size pretty big on the HD2, i want to make them a lot smaller.. so there'll fit more on the screen at the same time.
How can i achieve this?.. i already found some forums on the internet wich indicate i have to hack the register and change some regs.. wich i dont prefer

There are cabs that makes the changes in registry for you.. If you don't want that then its not possible =)
Icon size changer
I found a useful program: Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.5.4.cab
Simply copy the file to your SD card, run Windows Mobile Device Center, File management, and click on it to install it.

As stated above, use Co0kie's Home Tab. You can select 3x3, 4x4, 5x4 or 5x5 quicklinks on the home tab (amongst other stuff).
Incidentally, don't go for v1.54 - that's way old. There's v1.61 available now with much more options in it.
You'll probably want to look at the CHTEditor that helps you change the settings for it. You can get the link for that out of my signature. I've read that the author of that application is particularly handsome and smart, and all the ladies love him! lol

Keep an eye on that thread for news and updates
I asked in a thread but thought that seeing a few people liked the idea maybe the right people would see it this way.
Is there a way to re-map a button?
Say the button that is to the right of the phone button,(add a widget) I think there are a few to many ways to do that and that button would be better off as a camera/text/web button. Really just about anything else.
I'm really hoping this is possible. It would open up a lot of possibilities, such as a dedicated camera button. Great idea Chaos.
best idea i have heard in a while, i want a dev to pick this up.

+1 on that idea. If there was a way to reassign it that would be great. although at the moment I don't know what I would want it to do I'm sure I can come up with something!
I am not sure it would be that easy as the sense apk's are what control that and the program would have to be rewritten i think but ya your right i would love it if it was possible.
This would probably be really difficult, seeing as how android is under the apache license, meaning that htc doesn't need to release the source to sense and more specifically rosie, we can't do much to change that. So unless someone is a guru in assembly and can edit those xml's to point to different locations, its most likely not gunna happen
the GDE "hero" themes have the option to change what that button does...

Thats clearly because gde is a 3rd party app and the developer most likely added that ability to his app. I think what the TC wants is a modified rosie where the icon's on the bottom bar do different things

You guys need a dis-assembler. You know executable in - symbolic op codes out. Get one, and you got any change you want. All the assembly level guru's are working for atoyot.

i completely understand this.. but i was pointing out that instead of having a dev spend hours/days working on this problem, he should just use GDE since he is within the 1% that thinks this problem is so bad that a dev needs to waste time on it
