Group SMS Solution - My Very Own

Hi Everbody,
I am Shailesh Ashar and this is the first time I am getting my hands dirty with Windows Mobile development.
So here is a little app that I developed : Group SMS Solution.
As the name suggest it is basically a program to send smses to a group of people at the same time.
Foll. are the features:
1. Category Wise Contact Pickup
2. Individual Contact Pickup made easy
3. works with WM5 and WM6.
4. Seems to be moderately paced as it is written using managed code but does the job well.
5. It is free.
PREREQUISITES:
.NET Compact framework 2
download here :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en
DISCLAIMER:
This program is written using managed code so it technically cannot harm your windows mobile device but anyways do not blame me for anything.

To Download go to http://shaileshashar.110mb.com/groupsms.php
Feel free to link to the download page but please do not link directly to the cab files. I want some traffic on my website.

Hey I am not a depressed soul although the quote is very thought provoking. Checkout the Superman logo as my avatar.

thnaks first
it is working with my imate jasjam although i installed net framework 2
the message appear:ERROR
"this application requires a newer version of Microsoft NET Compact Framework than the version installed on the device."!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:

Nice app - well done. Works just fine on my artemis, cheers

Hi Shailesh,
This is certainly a very nice and extremely useful app for WM devices.
I've tested it briefly on my WM5 Herald and it works great. I do have a few minor bug reports and feature suggestions for your next version:
1. When contacts belong to multiple custom groups, it lists the same group twice with a space before the group name. So if some contacts are in the group called Ping and others are in the group called Pong and yet others are in both groups, it will list "Ping", "Pong" and " Ping" and " Pong"
2. Could you possibly add a context menu for the text editor where you do Cut/Copy/Paste rather than the Paste from Clipboard button?
3. In the final screen, if you press Back, it takes you right back to the first text entry screen rather than just one screen back.
Will test and give you any further inputs soon.
Thank you for the excellent app that you've given to the community for free!

Hey thanks for pointing out the bug SayMobile,
#1. I have fixed the bug as pointed out
#2. I thought the framework would automatically provide the Cut/Copy/Paste feature but it did not, anyways the button is doing the needful.
#3. It have purposely kept it that way
Please download the new cab from the first page.

Please restart your device after installing NET Compact Framework 2.
If it still does not work then re-install GroupSMS.

ITask- Task manager with transitions 2.june New video!

Program with transitions when a button is pressed.
I'm using wa2, flash and mortscript.
-I use wa2 to control the some system aspects
-I use flash instead of Wad.
- I use Mortscript to execute all commands, so that the commands can be changed after building the flash.exe. Images are not changable outside flash yet, but I'm going to try that later, so every image can be changed.
Check out my second test video:
-Added calendar, calculator, drawpad to the program.

31. May: I've attached a flash movie (not for ppc), so that u can see how it's getting along.
I'm gonna update this as often as possible.
EDIT: ---And thanks to larna for publishing the icontact app

Very, very nice.
Have you thought of doing that in C ? It would be much faster i guess.
Anyway, keep up the good work.
larna

Wow.
I was told that that couldn't be done on a ppc because of graphics limitations...
Where can I get it?
PLEASE keep developing this!

If i knew programming it would be nice I started making this a week ago, and it was really really difficult for me, because I didn't even know flash, and actionscripts for ppc was difficult to find and get to work properly.. like the sip command etc...
Thanks for the comments!

Well, iContact was my first app written in c for win32. And it was and still is difficult.
I started with similar to yours, in C. If you decide to try to redo your app in C i'll be glad to help.
Good luck.

Because it seems to be very nice application, is it possible to have a download link, please?
Thanks.

This application is just a "semi" application. It will probably not work good on all devices, since I've implemented some commands that probably are specific for wm2003.
It's made in Flash, and Flash communicates with mortscript for all external commands (to open apps, import ram, change backlight, etc), except some "sip" commands and a few more.
The links to the apps can be changed through the mortscripts, but not the icons for now. I will try and research for a way to do it, but "flashplayer 7 for ppc" can only read normal jpg, so i'm not sure if it is possible. In worst case after I'm finished, I'll at least share the .fla file for tweaking, with some basic documentation.
You will also need a flash compiler that can build .exe files of flash files for ppc.

Thanks for your reply. I hope that you are going to make a full working application and share it with us.
Thank you.

Added new video

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry... I'm pretty busy getting the mp3 player to work properly... it seems that the flashprojector has problems reading xml files outside the compiled .exe file.
I'm trying to get a workaround, but with my feeble actionscript skills it takes a long time...
(the thing is that the xml files is needed to add songs, and load mp3s... not the perfect way to do it but the only way to do it with flash...) I'll post more on this subject tomorrow.
Some bad news: since you have VGA resolution, and this uses qVGA resolution, it probably won't look good on your device. I will hopefully have an .exe compiled until friday.

Sorry to bring an old thread back. Can you narrow the/a application to just the animation of the opening and closing of applications for the ones that dont want the complete app but want the window animations?

You can get all the latest updates of iTask in the Wisbar Advanced 2.x Skins forum at www.lakeridgesoftware.com

Make Your own Panel (I think)

Hi All,
Don't know if somebody already posted this, but I couldn't find a thread about it.
I just saw a link in a Dutch forum regarding a website where you can create your own panel.
Here's the link: http://www.mysonyericssonblog.com/x1panelcreator/index.php?step=1&lang=en
It's just that my Italian is not that good, so I cannot find the guide. Maybe somebody here can find it and explain how it exactly works. But it sure looks promising.
Herman

Here is the English tutorial
BTW. It's an HTML panel designer

WOW Nice find,
without reading it all yet, will do later, it looks like it will be incredibly simple to do something such as a program launcher.

cool, i'm thinking of making a Hyves panel (dutch facebook like social website)..
Groet, Steven

this sounds great but i dont know how to program in html
anyone one able to give me a basic guide

Wow! This is a great find!
Now I just need to come up with some good panel ideas...

Nice!
What you guys want?

Get hold of a WYSIWYG website editor and use one of those..
I think dreamweaver is still available as a trial, try that to build what you want to see, then save the page as html.
otherwise there's huge amounts of websites that give tutorials on html, it's not difficult at all.

SE Panel SDK supports native panel (i.e. panel developed using windows programming technique) and html-based panel. the latter will be more designer-friendly, but probably won't be sophiscated as the native since API will be limited. That said, with all the panel request on running certain app as the background, I got to say html-based panel might just well do the job.

This is a really awesome find. Makes things simpler/quicker...

what about some sort of task manager panel, maybe if possible with more info than the standard task manager. it could include info for battery, ram, cpu use, heat etc. a sort of all in one info panel/task manager

Sounds like a good idea.
At the minute im just making a simple development panel.
Just so people can see how it works when they look at the HTML of the panel etc.
Ive managed to open .exe's etc, just wondering how to open sections of the .exe.
For example: clock.exe opens up the alarm bit where you can set alarms. However im wondering if the tabs on that part are also part of clock.exe
Does anyone know how I can access \\Windows of my X1 on my PC? I can only seem to access it using Total Commander on my X1 and to be honest. Its hard to scroll through thousands of files on such a small screen lol

Thats dependant on the games you have installed. I could do it with the games already on the phone but other than that, each person would have to customise it for their own phone

As long as you've got activesync or the vista version installed you should be able to go through my computer.. But I'm on my linux machine at the mo so can't say what exactly the path is.
I don't think you can overwrite files in x1 windows btw direct from the pc.

[APP] MySpace for 6.5

This is nothing special, but I was searching for it and couldnt find it, so I threw it together.
It is simply a wrapper for the Myspace Mobile site (m.myspace.com) and should render in all resolutions.
It makes use of the widget capabilities of Windows 6.5, and thus is ONLY FOR 6.5. This is not a ".cab" file it is a ".wgt" file.
Extract the ".wgt" and click to install it!
The only know bug is when installing some users may get the "There is no application associated with Myspace. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application" error depending on how the ".wgt" association is setup . To fix it, install Themuzz's solution which sets the association to open the Widget Installer.

works good so for, nice job.

it will be nice with screenshot

It is a Windows Mobile "Widget"
MSDN Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd721906.aspx

this is pretty sweet. too bad I almost dont use MySpace anymore.
running on my tilt, I had an issue; fonts are TOO big; and there is an issue that it does not take up all of the available screen like the other widgets do. the scroll bars are useless in winmo6.5.
great thing though. works very quick and loads images quickly too. it would be nice to be able to save images in it (for contacts) but that is probably asking too much. lol.
thanks. this will stay.

Hi,
nice widget, but small letters. Please make it finger friendly. My Device - Touch HD with 480 x 800 pixel.
with friendly greet

very nice
thanks for sharing mate

Customizable Soundboard App

I've searched and searched and searched. But yet to find anything working well.
I'm trying to find a customizable soundboard app. There's so many sounds ide use (Dave Chappelles Rick James, Mr T, Anchorman... I could seriously go on forever)
If there's nothing out there you guys and gals could suggest for me, is there any devs out there that could point me in the right direction on how to write this app.
Cheers peeps

use this program http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wdaft-for-wqvga-vga-qvga-and-square-mobile.html as a base. in the explorer, you can switch the sounds and graphics to what you like. p.s. this program friggin rocks!

Dude, your gonna get busted posting warez here.

Dude, your cant post warez here. read the rules

how is it a ware? it says its beta and its listed as freeware on that site.

Sorry dude. Didn't actually read it. saw the site 'ppcwarez' and though it was
my bad
Nice lil app. but how would one change the sound s and such?

its all good. i installed to my sd. i go to my device/sd card/program files/godaft. in the two folders are the images and sounds. you can make your own images or go to iconspedia.com and grab some free icons and replace them with the originals. then you can grab the sound files you want to use and replace them with the ones in there. i dont know what format it is either .wav or .mp3, but you can grab an mp3 converter freeware app from somewhere to change it. the only thing you gotta do is make sure you rename the file you put in with the one you take out.

Sweet,
Ive managed to change the header and sounds to dave chappelle's rick james.
There's only one problem. The buttons still read 'harder, better, faster, stronger'
I cant find anything related to these in the skin folder.
Any ideas?

ok i just checked and there is no button associated with the words. my advice is to just reverse-engineer the app until you find the text written into it. try using a .cab decompiler/extractor or visual studio. if you dont know how to do this then maybe look around on here for people who deconstruct files. i would look and try to write you a new board but i dont have the time and resources right now. you might also wat to try to find another sound board like the fart app. not all of them have all images cooked into it.

Dude,... this is THE BEST app ever invented. Work has never been that easy,... I put "shut up", "go away", "bring me coffee" and "cu tomorrow" in the app and I never ever have to open my mouth again

Post your sound board once you finish

I didn't actually edit the program itself. I just created the 4 sound files (*.wav) I wanted and named them L1.wav, L2.wav, L3.wav and L4.wav
Then I replaced the original sound files in the Godaft/Sounds folder with my own ones and now the first 4 buttons play my sounds. The buttons are still called "work it", "make it", etc., but they play my sounds. So if I would add more sounds, it might become hard to remember, which sound is on which button,... but the 4 I have are all I need and easy to remember

I used 7-zip to extract the cab file and got loads of files. Extensions are .001 all the way to .052 (I'm guessing these are the resouces) and an XML file (used to install)
I've looked through the XML in notepad and cant find anything there.
So its in the resource files somewhere. How do i open these files?
Ive checked out Visual Studio, but not sure which version I'm after as don't know which language this apps written in.
I'll grab the all-in-one package though

it sometimes sucks that you have to use multiple extractors to dig out one simple image. i still got an eye out for another soundboard for you that is much simpler to edit to your liking. there was also a guitar app i seen that was crazy simple to switch...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482726. there is only 6 sound options and you have to skin the buttons the same as guitar strings.
