weather tab...

hi guys...
i wander if posible to add more locations to weather tab cos i live in small country (macedonia) and i got just 1 town from here(capital1) , so if posible to add more info for here ill be thankfull , or at least some advice...
ty in advance

If you search, cause I don't remember off the top of my head, there are ways to adding citys if they aren't listed. Unfortunately they don't have every city so you are going to have to make due to whats available. Search a bit if you can but I'm sure someone will step in and show you where to look if you haven't found it by then.

Read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Tweaks
Full of useful stuff , including how to add "small cities" to weather tab

thanks alot guys, u did great pointing me on that page, now i got every towns from my country ...

Send To: Phone

I know I didn't invent the wheel or anything but I always wanted a way to send the .cab files I find here straight to my phone and couldn't find a way so I created the site: http://sendtophone.info
basically it gives you a badge for people to click, it sends the link to the cab to their phone over txt. I also made a firefox extension so you can click on any link anywhere and send it to your phone. full details are on the site including a code generator for the lazy among us.
Just thought I'd give back a little, you guys are welcome to use it. You have given me countless awesome apps and top notch advice.
Example:

i wont be eager to use this or give my phone no/details online but maybe others might find this useful!

I just download the file and email it to my phone. Why get another party involved?

i guess it's another way to be able to dl from your phone, but if i'm on a computer, i just send an IM with the link to my mobile aim name, which sends a text to my phone.
edit: actually, how does this work? do you get charged for sending the text from you site? and i'm assuming you can send any links...

i think he's using some sorta script from their website (ie.att.com)
I wish this site supported Rogers....wink wink...nudge nudge
but for now i use msn ...which stopped recently...gotta get that working again....

Nice idea have added it here : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/07/13/send-to-phone-a-site-to-send-links-to-your-ppc-via-sms.html

Glad some find it useful. Just to let you know we do not store ANY info. we have no logs, no database, nothing. the only info that COULD be saved is your phone number & carrier can be saved in a cookie on YOUR computer. hope that makes people feel better. I wrote the script with privacy in mind for people like xda users.
If your carrier isn't listed go to our about page to send us a message.

RE:
Bundo: I also downloaded and emailed, but its 2009! "they" should have this worked out by now. and most importantly I'm lazy and impatient.
downloading, watching emails send, waiting to receive, downloading again all suck. I love it every time I use it.

Too much security !!
I like this a lot, but find it a slow drag to have to type the two words! Since you can select to create a cookie, can you skip the security if cookies is checked?
By no means an expert, so this may be a dumb question.

well with bots the way they are no, i can't remove the captcha. maybe if I think of some other way. but no promises

Now that I think about it a little more . . . . I'm on board.

glad to hear it!
tell me by rogers do u mean rogers wireless in canada?

I'm pretty proficient in php. Does this just send an email to [email protected] (ex [email protected])?
So you only send the link... not the actual file?
Pretty cool stuff. If it is php it doesn't need much to run so it should be pretty safe. I'm just wondering if it comes across as a message or an email. Would be cool to just send the whole file, but it would be a lot more complicated and require uploading files (which can get bad).

yeah its just simple php. it sends the link as a txt message. i wish i could send the actualfile! it works pretty well, i use the firefox addon i made so it works on every link everywhere

Looks like a good plan any chance of adding support for O2-UK? Or is it stuck to US networks?

it would work on any carrier that allows [email protected] message conversions. He just has to know the ending so he can add it to the drop down box.

Well, what if the file is later pulled from the internet, or you can't find it again? If you first download it to your computer, then you have a permanent backup in case of phone failure or loss, as well as an easy way to send it to friends.

very cool ...good job!

Incredibly useful....See what searching does?

add stock quote from other countries eg australia

took me forever to find this but could not find anything on the net or in the registry to help but finally found the answer so thought i'd post it here for others. if you want to add a stock to the stock quote tab on your HTC HD for stocks other than the US and Canada you need to put in the stock quote that yahoo.com uses.
To find the stock code go to http://c.finance.a1.b.yahoo.com/ and under market summary chose the region you want so for Australia chose Asia. Under Asia select view more indices and you will see the All Ords symbol is ^AORD. If you use this code when you click add quote in the HTC stock tab it will find the All Ords stock. If you want to add individual stocks click on the Components link on the yahoo page and it will show you the stock codes for all the aussie stocks. eg for Wesfamers the stock code is WES.AX and i think you can pretty much assume the stock code for all AU stocks is "aussie stock.AX". hope this helps others.
i only got this answer by stumbling across this wiki page which showed how to do a currency conversion using the stock tab which is pretty cool as well: http://pocketnow.com/wiki/HTC_Touchscreen_Tips_and_Tricks#news

Thank You very much.This has indeed been useful.

NICE!
Thanks I was very curious about that.

[Q] Pin Code Kepper app like this, is there one?

I used to live in Denmark where the banks provide you with a coloured wallet card on which you write a load of numbers including your 4 digit pin however, only you know the location of the four numbers you need.
I have seen an iphone app or two that do the same thing:
http://www.mochasoft.dk/iphone_pin.htm
or
the HideYourPin app on this page http://bragoszewski.com/iphone/
Basically I would love to know if there is a similar app for the Android platform.
Regards
David P

If this isn't already available, if someone can make it (preferably like the top link in the post above) I would be eternally grateful and you never know, it could make you a few bucks on the market as well
Cheers
David P

I agree, that would be a nice app.

good idea... i think it's not very hard to implement... i will try it this weekend

Fabulous and thanks in advance for trying

did you get my PN last friday? i have a first version that needs to be tested, an translated to correct english

just seen the message and am grabbing it now. Will test and get back to you by tomorrow
Thanks again
David P

@troedi,
It looks great and I wouldn't even change the english within the instructions very much. I will send you via PM later on today any changes I think would be benefificial regarding the wording.
How difficult would it be to have multiple patterns? So you would start the program and then have a list of your saved PINS, one per pattern, and selecting the required PIN opens up the appropriate pattern for viewing or editing?
Regards
David P

An absolutely brilliant idea!
And, could you possibly make this an 'open' beta? I would love to start using this.
Thanks.

thanks for your comments! i think it isn't very difficult to manage more than one pattern. should be realisable in a few hours! as far as i can remeber i've coded the app well-structured enough.
@LukeHandle: i will send you a pn in the next minutes

Why didn't you post it here, so we can all be beta-testers and thus the app will be out sooner?

ok... you've convinced me
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2817943/Pin%20Code%20Keeper_beta.apk

Let me know when you have the multi pattern version up and i'll give that a test too and well done, looking great so far
David P

ok, gonna give it a try and post back

Any news on a multi pattern version of this app? I couldn't find fault with your help text so far hence not sent any PM with verbiage.
Looking forward to testing the latest version once it's ready
David P

the multi-pattern version is nearly complete, but there are little bugs when saving a pattern! but i can't spend much time on the app the next two days. I think the app will be ready for testing on friday evening!!

oooo nearly time for more testing

>>> Here it is <<<<
Enjoy testing my app and please tell mi if you think it's ready for the app market
_________________________________________
Edit: download link removed -> use market to download. Look for "Pin Code Keeper"

Downloading and installing now
Thanks again and will feed back shortly
David P

Instructions are great.
2 things to mention though:
1. It wouldn't install over the top of the previous version even though it identified that it was an updated version so I had to uninstall the old and install the new.
2. Might I recommend that on each patter, net to the Pin Code Kepper in the title bar, you also add the pattern name given when a user edits the words "New Pattern" to something to better remind themselves?
So the title bar Might look like this (see attachment)
Kind Regards

[development]Filgoal app

hi
i found an easy way to make quick apps for websites
it is in that link : http://developer.bada.com/badaforum/board/thread/view.do?boardName=tools&messageId=33230&startPage=1&curPage=1
i tried to make my first app right away
My first app is for Filgoal.com (Egyptian football news website)
that app is totally based on RSS feeds and a youtube Channel
after trying the app i found a serious bug
the bug is when you load the first line of the news it loads normally but when i press back and load the second line of the news it loads the first one!!!!
i found out that all the news are shifted by one
of course i don't know how to fix this so i attached the whole app and waiting for anyone who finds where the bug is and how to fix it
Thanks in Advance

Yes, i am trying to steel the way for the scrolling, it seems that this guy added the webcontrol on a scrollable panel. that could be the solution for my problem the other things, i don't know the code is to modular to check it quick out, sorry.
By the way this example is from arun.sd this guy send me the Premium Partner E-Mail as i entered it, i think he is one of the main bada developers, and he is realy good, respect.

ok i understand now
he is a big developer but he didn't notice that bug!!!!!
i really need anyone to contact him directly to tell me how to fix it
i already wrote on his twitter page,developer.bada thread but he is not responding
if anyone know him please contact him

Yes i have his e-mail don't worry have you tried the installer method or the one with the source code?
You could post to his topic on the developer page there he should look out sometimes
And by the way have you ever seen a programm without any bugs? I not.

Thanks larioteo
it is just one method completes itself
i posted in the topic already
i thought it should be bug free as it is in the tools and libraries section
i am angry because i already uploaded the app to the seller office and i need to fix it quickly before being refused
i'll wait for further info from you

Dont worry, have you forgotten the mail? they will delete it automatically. or you can also do, but one question have you try it with another site? i am also interestet in this info app, its cool, and the scrolling is that how it should be

Already tried it with several sites and the same bug exist in all of them
when i get it fixed i'll make a one for XDA of course
maybe you can make for you sites too and give it a try it is really cool with its youtube feature

yes i will take a look after the next voluntas update ok?

of course
here we are a free community
you can do what you want when you want
we don't force each other to do anything

Please don't hurt me^^
No i think a little bit politeness isn't bad. We are all here for the same thing, making bada more suiteable for us and others.

@mylove Application XDA for bada sounds wonderful, especialy for bada OS section.

e-mailed Arun and here is his reply
Thank you for your email.
I shall be away from office till Jun 2.
I shall attend to your email as soon as I return.
Thank you for your patience.
Regards,
Arun S Devarajan

so when he is back he will see how to fix it
@baza14
of course it is interesting too
i think it won't be approved at Samsungapps so i'll contact morata to help me with its installble package making
i'll make it from tomorrow

Yes this guy arun is cool, i couldn't imagine it that i got the premium partner state, he is fantastic.
@mylove90 you could give it a try, how, pn me

Already made XDA app put there is a bug also so it can't get data from RSS feeds on the bada forums
it now can get data from the portal,twitter and XDA TV
to me it is useless because it doesn't support bada in anyway(the whole world in it revolves around Android and WP7)
it is pointless to release it now
will try with Arun to find a fix for it too
P.S : you are a noob video is so funny

could you send me your sourcecode? i will fix your problem. please make a file called
Changelog.txt
and list all bugs in it that you have found, detailed when it apperas and what you have done to get it. I am a little bit confused, in the last time, i need this file
For the appbuilder itself i dont have enough time due to sdk2.

Sorry for being so stupid and not posting the source from the beginning
Actually if you fixed XDA app you will fix the AppBuilder
i attached the whole folder from the SDK
i was all that time waiting for Arun as he sent an E-mail from two days that he is so busy and will try to fix the app this week end but i don't think he will have any time for it
Thanks in advance

I know he is currently coding on bada 2 i think this is more important.

Got the fix for the app from Arun finally
i'll try it and report my feedback to him

Hej cool, he is fantastic, isn't he`?
Then you don't need my Services?, Mabe change the gui or icons, that it looks more in your wishes.

yes he is so cool
but said at the end of the mail if you faced any more problems don't come to me back
he is just too busy
still i need you
he just fixed one issue
the first one in the changelog file
maybe some polishing in the app would be nice too
it is yours now
take it seriously i have not done anything in it to take it as my app (just collected RSS feeds)
here is the indexing fix
Credit goes to Arun
1) Go to: XDA Developers\src\ListForm.cpp
2) Search for this function in that file: "ListForm::OnItemStateChanged"
3) Replace the existing code ["LoadArticle(index-1);"] with "LoadArticle(index);"
4) Compile + build the project

Click to collapse
found another fix for the UI to make the Logo pic over the articles bigger to fit all that area
Credit goes to me this time
1)Go to XDA Developers\inc\Globals.h
2)Search for LOGO_MAX_HEIGHT
3)Change values as below
#define LOGO_MAX_HEIGHT 90
#define LOGO_MAX_WIDTH 480
4) Compile + build the project
