Alright so everyone can prob agree... We have all these sweet ass phones that we mod ourselves to give it our own touch. Well don't you hate it when people go to see your phone and they're all like, "Hey let me see that, it looks sweet!!" blah blah blah... then they go and look in your text messages. Kinda annoying when I let someone play with my device and they try to get into my personal business.
Well basically what I am asking with all the talent out there... Is there a simple program that someone(s) would be willing to try to create that makes our SMS passcoded. Basically anytime you want to go into your messaging folder that includes your inbox, sent, outbox, drafts... that they need to enter in a simple 4 digit passcode. I bet I'm not the only one that would like this program....
Thanks in advance!
i would love to have something like this...not just for sms but for all programs. i remember my first cheap phone (motorola) they have this feature to block/allow apps and be passcoded. it would be great to have something like this....just a question as if its a popular request i guess....
great idea!
i love this motorola function, i'll love to see an application to do this on our phone.

I have been wanting this since I pulled my Tild out of the box. Couldn't find it so I eventually bought this;
http://imate-smartphone.handster.com/product.php?id=521
It's okay, but as I said in another thread it can be a little *clunky* to use. And I know I paid WAY TOO much for something that should eb relatively simple.
yea...ive been wanting a program like that for a whileee!! i know somebody out there can develop a nice simple program that ask for a password for certain app...

Been trying this out for a while today... works pretty good... Just kinda plain and boring looking though. So if anyone is still up to the challenge to make something very similar but maybe a little more modern looking.
Hey all,
I agree with the fact that this type of software could be in high demand. I am not a developer myself, but I did design a Wisbar theme called VistaMobile, so I would definitely be willing to skin the program if someone could do the coding. I really love this whole PPC scene (started with an MPx200 Smartphone about 3 years ago, now using an HTC Uni), and I really want to give back and be a part of something more than the VistaMobile theme I had created.
I should also be able to host the file with a dedicated page on my protogenLabs site, if any developers are out there and wishing to team up.
That might just be wishful thinking, but regardless, it would be great have a stylish version of this type of program. More and more people in North America are finally getting used to Windows Mobile being somewhat mainstream, so I think it's a good market ready to flourish!
Sorry if I went on a bit of a tangent, but I'm all for a program that would do this sort of thing.
PM or contact me from my protogenLabs page if you are a dev interested in partnering up with a designer for ANY projects really...
Thanks!

it's called Ez Secret SMS and works great but on VGA devices the password keypad is unusable
We need a simple software to ask for a password when entering messaging. That's it, no funky lists and fluffy software. May the Force(of developers) be with us
glad to see everyone agrees with me, its nice to think that this is something that everyone would enjoy as much as me. So developers check this out! If your a developer or someone that think you might be able to take this on... leave some feedback on here instead of just reading then leaving... again thanks everyone, we'll be waiting!
yea i need something like dat badly!!!
ILL Try to develop something...

There's to be no talk of WAREZ on this site.
You should try reading the rules
11. Don't get us all in trouble
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does in no way mean we agree with everything Hollywood, the record companies and the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here since otherwise we'll end up dealing with your legal hassle. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
Has anyone made a free program for this yet?

i don't think so... i think a simple password prompt for accessing SMS/Email messages would be cool.. problem is, all the software currently out there is bloat and full of extra stuff that most of us don't need.
this can probably be done with mortscript but again, it requires additional installed programs..
i'm still looking around, but there isn't much in terms of what we're looking for.
now if we could only get some interested coders in this thread to whip something up
eye on privacy is a good one... theres alot of other stuff like a "safe sms" inbox that stores txts you don't want other people to see when you enter a 2ndary password. It can also lock dialing functions, call history, contacts, calender, tasks, and notes.
Then it gets into some really paranoid features that no one will ever use unless you're 007.
The pin screen that comes up when you go to your inbox is very finger friendly but the one that comes up when you go to the program to set the password and change settings is not.
As a frequent RSS user I still didn't find an RSS Reader which uses the snappy interface and touch friendly buttons of TF3D. So I created some screens hoping an enthusiastic developer feels challenged to create an ultimate RSS reader for TF3D.
Some requirements should be:
Import feeds from OPML file and/or sync with Google Reader
Update All, Update Channel or update Feed seperately (conveniant when using roaming abroad)
Auto update (every .. minutes/hours/days) and notify when new items arrive
... And more
A great wish would be to add the program in the tab structure in TouchFlo.
So the big question is: Which developer feels the urge to create this baby????
If someone feels this urge, I will make more screens, but I first want to know if there's somebody out there who wants to help me...
Hmm that's a good idea, especially love the "sync with google reader" part, browsing google reader on opera mobile is just plain madness.!
Love to see this becoming a real program! Hope someone will help you out nielsepiels!
yeah ! good idea !
Hi,
I'm waiting for it....
BYE, Bobo
hopefully it will become true..i know people in this forum are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really good idea!!!

Got my vote too - I could offer my services beta testing on my AT&T Fuze - I would definitely donate for this - Heck, I'll give someone a few bucks as soon as i see a beta!
same.. i would def donate some money for this, was thinking of something like this the other night.
anythings better than RSS Hub - buggy as hell with its constant freezes
maybe this is the right place to post it.......i would love to develop such an application (and other tf3d plugins) but i didnt find any documentation on tf3d development so far......the only thread where someone asked for a documentation is only available in google-cache with no answer posted....
maybe you guys or someone who reads this thread do know where to find tf3d-dev-docs...
thx!

TF3D is developed in Lua. D-MAN666 is one of the few guys who knows how to edit TF3D and develop TF3D applications, like his calendar application.
@ Nielsepiels & Mandragore: THX!!
wow, this looks cool. would be awesome if you could code this app. and props to the thread starter, nice screens!
I think we need more threads like this. that way we get more finger friendly and nice looking apps!
Hi guys , i'm sure it's a very useful idea.
I'm thinking about coding this (i'am learning on mobile coding) , waiting for any suggestion , so let's go for making this cool stuff.
ps: sorry for my bad english ;-)
Came across this thread and thought it was worth reviving
There was a thread about this a long long time ago, but I think people just forgot about it. Its such a good idea - and yet HTC havent even mentioned any RSS enhancements for the new version of TF3D on Diamond2, etc :s. I hope someone can make this - they would definately get a donation from me for it
Upping this to see if there are any developments.
I wonder if the email tab on TF3D can be "tweaked" to receive RSS headlines instead of sending and receiving from an email account?
I'm going to try and found out how that tabs is put together it might offer some ideas.
I'd love to be able to flick through the headlines/stories from my favourite feeds like you do with text messages or even better have a "ticker" running across the screen with the latest news..... that would be cool
Hi,
We have some HTC HD2s in at work and want to send one out for testing but we don't want the person testing it to be able to open any applications or games, just the application we want them to use.
Is there any software for administration rights on the phone?
Cheers!
Make your way over to SPB Softwarehouse. They have a program that will fulfil your needs. Not sure if there is a free version...
You could also remove all of the links under the Start Menu. That might hamper their efforts. But I can see a couple of ways round that...
Incidentally, your a tease giving someone an HD2 then locking it down.....
Thanks will have a look!
Yeah we have to lock it down as they are meant to be conducting surveys and we don't want them getting lost playing on games!
Can someone tell me what is the best application for news on the HTC HD2?
It is best if it can update news in real times on the homepage with compatible font for the HD2 screen.
I look but cannot find such program thus it would be great if someone can help? Thank in advance.

I don't know if it's the best but you might check out the AP News app. It's free and very easy to find. on the Microsoft Marketplace.

I have been using it for a while now. I like it a lot. Another thing you might want to try is some rss reader app.
Decided to look on the Marketplace and cannot find that AP News app on the UK Marketplace.
Is there anything else that is suitable or am I being useless in my ability to find it on the MS MP?

snaptu has a few news channels on it not very consise & not totally utd but for a basic news feed try this
i have not come across any winmo rss reader that is even close to what you get for the iphone or android devices (i have an iphone 3gs, nexus one, samsung i8910, archos 5IT and motorola milestone - and i consume news from all these devices depending on which one is the closest!).
anyway, after having tried multiple apps on various platforms, i find myself returning to google reader's mobile version.
i would suggest you set up your feeds one-time in google reader using a desktop, and then from your phone access the mobile version located at google.com/reader/i (note the "i" at the end of the string).
you can use opera 10 - the formatting is a bit off, but the headlines wrap properly. you could also try skyfire.
if you consume lot of feeds, you will love the way stories expand in place, and flicking down takes you to more headlines. this vertical approach is much faster and elegant than the horizontal approach implemented by dedicated rss apps. those apps take you to the story in a new window and then you have to retract back to get to the list. you are always backing in and out, rather than flicking downwards seamlessly...

I have tried Daily News and AP News app and gotta say Daily News was better - until I found Yomo Media... Take a look at it...
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-yomomedia.html
BTW - you want to install OMarket as well as it stores about 500 free apps for WinMo devices....
More devs should start developing apps with the ManilaSDK. It is pretty much aweseome, and makes us able to create state of the art apps for the, in my oppinion best mobile plattform!
Freewarepocketpc.net is an awesome plattform to share the products!
No HTC Weather and no navigator Copilot. Camera looks like crap also.
I just upgraded to W7 not because i wanted to but because I got so sick and tired of 6.5 not working. Not a thing I could do, 3/10 times I had to reset.
But Now where is all the applications? Where is the HTC weather application and the games and everything else my phone use to have. Maybe I am missing something or it is so obvious i have not seen it. BUt I want my home page to display critical info like it did in htc with 6.5. And I need my navigator maps back also. Co-pilot cannot find any navigators anywhere.
And is there a work around for the market place issue.

read the stickied threads in this forum and all questions will be answered.
Here is the short answer.
You can get full Live services working (with Market access) to download all of the apps you want with the simple tutorials in this forum

you can use navigon with uk maps.
New camera full resolution is available plus htc weather is downloadable also you can get the weather channel on app market.
Wp7 is excellent for my hd2 you just need to search & yee shall find my friend.
HTC weather app link
Do you have a direct link to download the HTC weather. I use this app a lot as I do photography in different countries.
either download HTC Hub after you get marketplace access or just flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
it's cooked into the ROM, as is chevron etc.. so all you have to do to get market access is call MS and get a code.
God help u another issue
Now that problem has a solution I have to spend 3 years in PhD School just to sync the dam thing. Why would i want my contacts and agendas in cyberspace? Sensitive info is between outlook and my phone.
These guys are forcing us into a place I am not comfortable with. Too much is syncing with too much. I visit Imdb and all my friends know. I go to the toilet and it comes up on skype "In the toilet"
Soon they will just digitize us into F.B.
More reading existing threads and less *****ing please.
I am venting because I though technology should make it easier. Drop the device on the cradle it syncs and that is that. Why is it so hard to sync. Why change a good thing? I have no idea why improve trivial things like the aesthetic and lose the things business people need (the entire reason for the smart phone is not music and videos)
I can vent cant i?
My Business HTC has now become a Toy Iphone, better at music than anything related to work. I think after reading the sync issue is a deal breaker, let me get this thing off my phone I have work to do.
http://www.companionlink.com/windowsphone/outlook/
maybe a fix for the sync issue
bravo.... afraid of syncing with the cloud, and solve it by syncing with g**gle? lol...

I think in your case its going to be alot longer than 3 years!
You've just installed an OS on your phone that you know nothing about, did you not think of doing a little bit of "reading" about WP7 before you put it on your phone
I'm not going to tell you whats just happened to your SD card
honestly why did they make it so hard?
Why force people to depend on the internet?
Why stop all the features that made me get rid of my Iphone.
Yes the UI is a dream, and 6.5 was a punishment but the good thing was flexiblity. Drop stuff on your SD card. And what happens when you are in some strangers house and need to give them a photo or a file?
Document sync needs another PhD.
I am on teh fence cuz I like the user interface because it works so fast and clean.
W7 the best way to convert your Business HTC into an Iphone.
I read about it, and the reviews didnt tell me about the sync issue or the office issues. Would it be so stupid to assume that a bloody smart Phone (i.e not a stupid phone) should be able to sync with easy. Now I have owned every smart phone known to manking even the good old Psion and the XDA o2, for the first time I have seen a smart phone turn into a normal phone.
Sell the phone, leave this forum. It will only mean fewer pointless spam threads like this one for the rest of the members who actually are able to read.

You can set WP7 to sync that stuff automatically with your skydrive. You can just give people the URL...
@ chumaj001 if you dont like a thread why are you replying Is communism forcing you to make useless remarks? NEVER understand these kind of people. You dont like it but you feel good by talking trash. Some of us actually buy these phones for their applications in the real world not for gadget boys toys.
I do have the solution to all you problems.....
Send me your HD2 and I will give you my old Nokia 6110 phone. It has no issues at all and does a great job calling and receiving calls. Seems perfect for your needs and level,
Cheers !
