Thats true, but it is good, if you want to learn binary code, this is best what you can do.

If anyone have some good idea how to improve it, post please!!!
Nice idea, but one little suggestion.
Why not change the display order, like:
Hours
Minutes
Seconds
I think that would make it lot better.

All right I will make new release v1.1 in few minutes
nice if there was an option in the menu to display a standard digital clock on the screen simultaneously so those that do not understand binary can learn.
just an idea.

i would like it in a today plugin... but maybe something like this:
h:m:s
0010:010100:110001
all on one line and nice and neat. I would love it just like that
P.S i love that i can hide the 32 16 8 4 2 1 above the binary values so keep that
So, if i've understand well, when a 1 is put you'll need to sum to find what time is it, correct ?
Why no to put it like the binary clocks, like these ones :
This should be very funny to read !
Some more details on : http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/watches/6a17/
BTW, nice idea and program !
wow another geeky program to further obfuscate my XDA.
can't wait to try this out... unfortunately, I have to lurk moar and figure out how to install (and its prerequisites) the WM 5.0 on my O2 XDA II mini. (or confirm if it is out yet)

No install, only copy .exe file to your Documents, but you must have installed .NET 2.0, i tried it on iPAQ 4240 and it works fine.
WOW! COOL! THANXX!!

you must make a DLL file with defined interfaces, but i dont now which. Is there anybody who know how to make today plugin??
Don't you hate it when you let someone play with your shiny new WM phone
they usually go right to your SMS inbox?
jonesj8 had the same irritation, so inspired by him I threw something together
Original thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375057
I created a new thread to have a bit more overview, and also to get it under the attention of other users who might be interested
@mods
I can understand if you close this thread...
How does it work.
this version requires you to change all the .lnk files pointing to tmail.exe, or to the dll...maybe even other ones...
I say all lnk's but the most important are the ones the "friend" is going see/use.
I've included a shortcut creator in the attachment.
In FileList.ini specify the application to block,
in the included file it's \WIndows\tmail.exe
and i've used msg as argument.
so in the .lnk would point to lockdown.exe with the argument msg
if the passcode is correct the file will be opened.
it's not very quick (since it needs to be opened) but this should change in the next version.
the passcode can be changed in the settings.ini, default is 12345
Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas
Update Version 0.4
Well I finally got around to an update, which is attached below
The application has been rebuild from the ground up, I've used a Lock and Key method, e.g. the lnk uses key.exe which communicates with the server (the lock) this way the server only needs to read the filelist once which should save time.
<note>
because of this you will need to enter the items in the FileList.ini prior to starting the server, when the server is running it will create the used shortcuts for you
which you can then place.
if you add stuff while it is running the shortcuts wont be created...
pointers on making the FileList.ini is in the readme below.
New in this version
- installer (cab)
- app to date support
- redesigned layout
- support for arguments, opening the sms should work now, it does for me
- locking of other files should work now too (thesed with a html file)
- automatically create the proper lnk files in sub folder
To do
- include support for different screen sizes
- way to customize the colors
- mask input with *
- skinning...?
In case someone is bored and wants to create the graphics, be my guest,
My creativity in that department is next to null
Sounds great. Any chance of a screenshot of the lock screen?

Thanks, trying it now
works good, cant seem to get arguments passed to tmail.exe in settings.ini
ie.
msg=\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS"
just opens account picker, is on todo list? not bugging you, good app,
thx!
great will it run on VGA? make it as simple as you can so when we are in hurry the soft won't load so long
This looks nice and configurable.
Are we able to make it request the pin for any application listed in FileList? First try didn't work, I want to restrict more than just the inbox
sorry, double post

Correct that isn't working... also i'm not sure if it will be in there,
the reason is I wanted to change the app so it looks at the window name,
this would close all message related windows, and there is no need to change the .lnk files

Currently any application can be restricted by providing a ID + location, e.g
xyz=\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe
changing the link to tcpmp would have lockdown popup first
What application would you like to restrict?

Basically, no
but as a workaround you could try making an lnk to tmail.exe with the -service etc. in there, next change the FileList.ini pointing to that new lnk...
not sure if it will work though

now, that you mention it yes, i have tried it and it does not work, if it is the specific html file. the lockdown screen would still appear but nothing happens after entering the code. maybe it will work, if the iexplore.exe itself is lockdown but this will lock down every/all html files. would it be a big change to code it, just for specific html files? i'm also thinking on specific text files just like the said html files. i keep notes on pure text files like tax account number, passwords, pincodes, etc in a text or word file. maybe this is pushing too far. maybe in the next version/release? hehehe thank you for sharing and more power...
Sorry I was on holidays
I've tested with PIE.exe and i plan this for the next version.
Please note though that this tool is only for making sure "friends" don't read your personal stuff very easy, but passwords/pin codes might be a bit too high risk..
I think this should be further developed! It really should come standard on winmob... hey Gee, if you need a cab builder or photoshop, I'd be happy to help! Let's make this idea the next ROM must-have!
I wanna use this program because every time someone wants to see my phone, they get to snooping into my personal info. However, I'm afriad if I start changing things manually, I'll screw my phone up.

Without detailed knowledge about the background of this request, I'd say: try this automation task with Mirko Schenks' MortScript
http://mort.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29
i just want to send an automatic sms to the service center that request the detail of my usage. i want to keep track of how many MBs and minutes are left from my account
i think you forgot to post the script
fatso485 said:
...
i think you forgot to post the script
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that was a good one... uups ;-) I'm serious now:
<MortScript>
MortScript is a script interpreter that allows you to do a lot of task automation stuff and even a quite huge command set for implementing logic, it is not a ready-to-run script that matches your "autosms sending" needs. I dont know much about MortScript but I know that is it very powerfull.
</MortScript>
Perhaps you'd like to have a look at this: autosms 0.43 (Feb 04 09), created yesterday
Motivated by ur request, I did some dev playing with sms coding yesterday on the train and here's a WinMobile prog that's doing the job... but caution: this is a very early (and ugly looking) version.
There is currently no MINIMIZE but you can simply keep the prog open.
Some menu items are not set so far, i.e. EXIT. If you want to exit, just use the upper right 'x'.
The STARTBUTTON toogles between Start to STOP and starts/stops the timer.
The first message is sent directly after pushing on START.
When STOPPING, sending shortMessages is stopped and the timer is reset to the cycle time set in the form field 'send every ___ Mins'.
The settings are stored in autosms.ini and are loaded at prog start and saved at prog end.
The prog works fine and stable on my X1, anyway there is an issue with VGA devices but as I told you, this is an early hack...
Be aware: autosms comes "as is" without any guarantees or warranty. You use it for your own risk. autosms automatically sends short messages every X Minutes (preset X to 2000) to the set cell phone number. Using autosms can cost u a fortune, so, I'm not responsible for any financial desaster or data loss or and legal trouble you might produce when bothering others through sms flodding.
so short

see download and Changelog here
thank you so much for your work. it really does work.i need to leave it for a couple of days to test stability. i will also add it to the start up programs
a few things to look into in case you get borded and decide to update this:
-as you said, needs to minimize. starting it again does not seem to work.i had to reboot my device
-used vga3fix to get vga resolution and it seems to work fine
-i changed the default 2000 to 2 just to test and it started sending every two seconds not minutes (thank god service center messages are FREE) i got
- the dialog that has 60,1440,2880 doesnt do anything
thanks again
ps why not post this in the hacking and development forum i'm sure a lot of people will find this useful and they might develop it farther

sorry!!! I am internally multiplying the field value with 1000 because the internal timer counts in ms... and of cause: 2000 ms = 2 s

where were all these replies before. you made snoman reach his 3rd version before answering.......jk
snoman, for text version. how about you make it more friendly for phone startup. i just want to make it easy to autosms start without me having to manually run it and then click "start".
how about you just make it come with another executable (that is fully automatic) that we can create a shortcut to from the startup folder from win directory

good idea. I'll make a parameter just only need to add after the .exe in the shortcut, i.e.
'autosms.exe autostart' if'll then reads the settings from ini and automatically switches into start mode

Thanks again. I just made the first CAB file for installation. If works fine on my XDA Neo.
Would you mind checking out if it works on ur device?
the cab runs just fine on my device and the qvga wizard. thanks for your work. your program is set to work from startup
now im just being picky with the following wishlist:
-but why did the size grow from 25k to 115k for the same thing. any way of making the cab smaller. maybe recompressing indivsual files?
-not important but also can you somehow make it work as single portable executable (like pimBackup 2.8 that everybody loved to just keep in the SD card)
-also the red square icon is a bit on the plane side how about you just reuse the envelope and stopwatch used in the program as the icon for autosms
Thank you for testing and the reply!

Well, the size is mainly given by the exe and the dll and the bitmap I use and they need approx. 110 KB. My CAB builder does not compress, maybe he cannot or I havn't found the flag. I'll check it out these days.

Beside the need to deliver some dlls the single-file-solution means to give up with saving the parameters like "Cellphone No" or "Message Text" who need at least a file for storage and I'd like to avoid the registry.

eh i want to ask u ppl.
how come when i use the calculator
e.g i press ==> 18.90-10%= it give me 18.80
did i press wrongly?
Yes, that is "correct". "Correct" in quotes because "percent" really just means "one-hundredths", so 10% is exactly equal to 0.1.
Other calculators might decide to interpret it differently, but the operation 18.9 - 10% = 18.8 is still a technically correct answer. You might want to try 18.9 * 90% instead.
omg...
older version of htc is not count like tht.. sigh!
I hadn't noticed until I read your post and tested it, an you're right, it sucks!
But I have the solution, look for mobilecalculator.exe in the \windows folder. Create a shortcut to it in your \windows\Start Menu folder and you're set!
This is the original version that works like normal people expect a calculator to work

Well. I'll be blowed, didn't know it done that!!! Only had the phone a few days
The % was incorrect also; 100-20%=99.8??? How strange
In portrait mode the calculator operates as a business calculator, but in landscape mode it works as a scientific calculator.
To demonstrate this enter the following exactly as written into your calculator in both modes:
3 + 2 * 5
In portrait mode it will give 25 as the result, whereas in scientific mode it will give 13 as the result. Both are correct in context. In scientific mode it will use operand precedence - hence the multiplication will be carried out before the addition if it's not used with parenthesis.
For the OP's original question, the correct result will be obtained if you divide the original sum by the (percentage plus 1) you wish to deduct. e.g for 10% use 1.1 for 17.5% use 1.175 ... and so on.
So to deduct 10% (say as a discount) from 18.90 then type in 18.90 divided by 1.1 to give the result 17.181818r
Conversely to add on a markup multiply the net amount by the percentage value plus one.
Simples!

haha just need a calculator which can use the feature we buy from store that kind of calculator.

mate, now I know maths isn't the greatest subject in the states... but all of you?
ok, j/k
2% = the second part out of one hundrer = 0.02... hope this is clear
so if you press 2% and then equals, you'll get 0.02, which is correct
if you try, 100-20%, you will get 99.8, which is correct again. if you want to get 0.8, then you have to use the brackets (100-20)%
and i case you didn't know it yet, what % does is to devide the number to 100... obviously
and since, in the equation 100-20% (which really is 100-20/100), the division has a greater priority, that's the operation that comes first...

The PM I got was how to change the default icons which isn't what I asked. I don't want to replace any icons I just want to know what is missing. With 5.2.23151 I think I had 9 shortcuts/icons on the 1st settings page. With 5.2.23152 I now have 8. If someone can compare this page with theirs for me?
Thanks, Andy
The energy roms have the same icons with 2 extra (get carrier time and start menu layout switch), but they aren't standard.
