(29/05/2009) iShell 0.32 - All change...

This is the first release of iShell. As such, there may be some bugs. If you find one, post it here, send me a PM or whatever - I want to fix them!
iShell supports Gecko and AppToDate (0.27 needs to be updated via a cab and not through AppToDate due to a change in host)!
What is it?
Currently, it's a fairly basic launcher application, built on the foundation of my "iProphet" ROMs, in the style of the iPhone. It also has "widgets" (currently one, the clock) which aim to replace other applications and so integrate as much functionality as possible.
Press the end call button to exit.
Requirements:
WM5 or above
Anything bar square screens...
400kb free RAM and 400kb free ROM.
Change log:
0.32 - Lots of changes. More efficient routines for most things, uses l3v5yExtendedFunctions to reduce code size, faster loading
0.31 - Added iShellPopulate, thanks to supbro
0.30 - Widgets!!!! Updated registry settings (images are 50x50 for QVGA, 100x100 for VGA), lots of little changes, faster loading, bug fixes, cleaner code...
0.28 - splash screens, some fixes, better drawing routine
0.27.1 - fixes some bugs
0.27 - Multiple screens, directly customisable application launching, faster performance due to bitblts rather than strecth blits (can enable scaling in HKCU\Software\l3v5y\Stretch, and transparency in HKCU\Software\l3v5y\Transparency), true VGA for vga-devices, completely rewritten loading, drawing and app database code.
0.25 - The cab now asks whether you want to use the default settings. Select yes if you haven't got a version installed...
0.24 - Adds customisable position of warning bubbles (for unread SMS, EMail etc), rounding of warning icons is better, and some bugfixes.
0.23.2 - Finally fixes the analogue clock!
0.23 - Fixes the clock, the battery in VGA, and settings should now be persistent for future upgrades.
0.22 - customisable backgrounds have arrived, along with custom text colours and some bug fixes.
0.21 - now supports VGA and WVGA/WQVGA, changing the TransitionSpeed actually works now.
0.2 - Bug fix - SMS now loads the correct path, and you are asked whether you wish to run iShell after the install.
0.1 - Release
Coming soon:
Landscape
More widgets
Square screens
Some other things...
Maybe happening:
3rd party widgets

This is written in C++, so doesn't need .NET CF and should be faster.
It's my take on the iPhone interface, and I just felt like doing it!
You don't have to use it, but try it and see...

i will wait for vga version!

same for me, I run on a diamond so I need vga.
looks great anyway
Cheers

Can You put this on storagecard? or should it be placed on device memory?

Should work on a storage card.

The SMS button may not always work.
To fix it, edit the App1Parm string to
"-service "SMS"" without the outermost quotemarks.
I'll try and fix it, but the issue is there due to the way the cab creation works.

I can't find it with Gecko...

I submitted it earlier, it's possible it hasn't yet been added to the active database - I haven't checked. If I hear anything I'll let you know.
One thing to check though, have you updated the database?

I updated database! Yes!

I can't wait until this application gets developed more!!
Its awesome, just needs more features.
BTW, I added this app to touch-innovation for you

[APP] LED Watch [v0.5, updated 27/07]

As requested recently, an LED watch application. It's very easy to read: the first column corresponds to the hour, while the remaining 5 columns are the minutes.
IMPORTANT: This is VGA-compatible only. Sorry, but it's too much effort to make something like this DPI-aware. If there's enough demand I'll fix it.

thx mate, just trying

Just realised I can fix the time update without messing around with threads, and this'll sort out another glitch at the same time. Will update later today or tomorrow.

Can I make a request for another LED watch like my oberon ?
More led watch you can check here:
http://www.tokyoflash.com

thangkls - how do you read that watch?

@David Horn:
My English is not good so I'll try to explain and I hope you can understand:
The first round ( the farest ) is hour
The second round is the min ( x1 min - maximum = 9 )
The third round is the min ( x10 mins - maximum = 5 )
At the sample above: the time is 10h:36PM.
The LED at 10 position of second round is display AM / PM - it's on when the time is PM.
Or you can read its manual here:
http://www.tokyoflash.com/pages/000034/000034.pdf
http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/s-mode/oberon/

Good work
Hi David, good work. Dont be discoraged by the lack of responses.
Now a few sugestions if i may...
Perhaps a background image in the form of a watch (with actionable buttons?) would be a nice addition & make the LEDs more LED like - to add some polish!
Also, you may wish to put some logic into the design to allow skinning so we can end up with the whole TokyoFlash shebang
My personal favourite.
[edit]
Nearly forgot, this would probably be a good candidate for a CHOME / Titanium plugin!

very nicely done

good stuff

David, great app!
I've actually got the Pimpin aint easy watch so to have it on my phone too is wicked
If this could sit in a Manilla tab it would be awesome!
Oh and for what it's worth, on the actual watch, when you press the button to display the time, the LEDs light up in a circular motion from the centre outwards. Dunno if that's something you want to add?
Have you thought about doing the Saishin Diode too?

works..ok.on my... hd
works fine.. have not noticed any errors...( on my htc..hd..).also looks very "cool "... further the black background of the clock, compensates for the size of clock (to make it look fullscreen ...as hd is... wvga ) ).... and in my view enhances.... the appearance of the clock ..thank you

Could you please explain how to read this clock clearly and simply ???
Many thanks

@gt112:
the 1st picture: 3h52
the 2nd picture ( with D on top ) :31 July
the 4th picture: 3h56

GT112
The first column is the hour or the month, and it's simply the total number of LEDs lit.
The remaining five columns count either the minutes, or the days. If, for example, all the blocks up to the 45 line are lit, and three above that, it gives a total of 48.
In the clocks below (sorry, thangkls!) the times / dates are:
1) 3:48
2) July 27th
3) 3:52
4) 3:49 -- note the clock in the taskbar says 3:48, but this app updates slightly faster.

Cool. Il ike this app
You must make this more realistic (led-images, no cubes)
I hope you will make qvga version

[JOURNAL] The making of: a Launcher

Today I began to make an old idea into reality: a new, lightweight launcher.
The basic idea was derived from iPhone: an easy-to-use menu, without a home screen (thus light-weight).
So basically, this won't be the favorite of the people, as it does not include widget support, or anything like that. Just a bunch of icons, and a bottom dock (what is editable of course).
After mixing the good features of the latest launchers (ADW, LauncherPro, TouchWiz, original Froyo, Donut launchers), I came to a feature list:
- Pages of icons instead of a list
- Page indicator dots (top or bottom)
- Icons get background like iOS (or like TouchWiz)
- Icons are placed based on position - new app goes to the end (not alphabetically ordered - like in TouchWiz3 Launcher, layout loaded from an XML file)
- A nice clock screen (this one is my idea - to have a clean area, where are no icons, just a clock, maybe with weather and music player, and with notifications)
- Use labels if possible (so the GMail account will have an incoming messages circle at the top, just like messaging and Phone (for missed calls, etc).
- Customization by skins - icons can be replaced with a custom theme, and this time, the app icons aren't loaded (lightweight!!!!)
- Customization by settings - select layout style (4/4 or 4/5 icon layout, page indicator position and color)
- Settings backup to SD card
After this list, I made a little mockup what shows how I imagined iLauncher:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What you can see here:
- The basic layout
- Page indicator circles on top (first page - clock, second page (current) - icons, third page -icons)
- Incoming indicators on icons (GMail and messaging)
- Running background process indicator (Google Talk is running in the bg)
What you can't see here:
- Icon labels - it will be the usual icon label, nothing really big change
- Icon backgrounds - when the mockup was made, I did not decide whether to have them or not
- Anything else I forgot to include
Then, when the mockup was ready, I began working on the code.
As a beginning, I took a look at android-7's (Android 2.1 update 1) samples, namely the Home sample (actually, the whole current AppInfo/AppIcon class is from there). That gave a pretty nice look over the stuff, so I grabbed what I needed (the icon classes) and began working on the bottom dock.
More will come as I develop each bit of the app!
Please note:
I do NOT need help in this. This journal is merely a share of my experience what I got coding iLauncher. Any time I code a bit of it, I add here what I did, and what happened after.
If you want to help me even I told you I don't need it, you can do so by collecting tutorials, code samples on these:
- The (not so) random icon background - still haven't figured out how to add them based on icon color, etc
- The paging system (the whole page system, flipping around, needs to be done)
- Notification labels

I will test it for you.

Inside Android 4.2: Notifications and quick settings

COURTESY OF ANDROIDCENTRAL!!
Now we have all waited to see the much anticipated quick settings be incoperated into android and now it is and i must say it looks amazing and overall a amazing feature androidcentral has brought us a quick preview before android 4.2 is released
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Finally, Google has added quick settings to the notification pulldown in Android 4.2. That's a feature many have wanted in stock Android since, well, forever. Enthusiast ROMs have added them. The manufacturers have added them. You can download apps that add them. And now, Google's added them in the latest version of Jelly Bean.
Only, Google did it different. Whereas quick settings generally serve as toggles in the notification pulldown, Google's gone a different route. Crazy, or crazy like a fox? Let's take a look.
The gist is this: Pull down the notification bar, and you see your notifications, just like always. Only, where there used to be a Settings button is now ... something else. The icon shows a person, with five thumbnails below and to the right of it. It's actually a preview of what's to come.
Press that button, and the notifications section flips over to the quick settings. (And the icon in the top right of the screen switches from the quick settings icon back to a notification icon.) The settings listed are:
Your Google+ profile: If you're signed in to Google+, your name and profile picture will appear. Tap it, and you're asked if you want to view your Google+ profile. (Not sure why I'd ever want to get to my G+ profile that quickly, but chances are Google will tweak that at some point.)
Brightness: Tap this, and you get a little popup that lets you adjust the display brightness. This is different (and better) than the full-screen brightness notification. I use this a lot already.
Settings: Ah, there it is. A shortcut to the full settings menu.
Wifi: Shows the network you're own. Tap, and it takes you to the Wifi settings.
Mobile data: Shows which carrier you're on, and signal strength (in bars).
Battery: There's a visual indicator and percentage remaining. (Numbers FTW!) Tap and you get the battery section in the settings menu.
Airplane mode: Shuts off the radios for when you're on an airplane. (Or if you want to pretend you're on an airplane.)
Bluetooth: Takes you to the Bluetooth settings menu. (The quick setting will show on if on, off if off.)
One finger for notifications, two for settings
Here's the really cool part -- Google's given a way to quickly access the quick settings side for of the pulldown. Here's how it works.
Pull down from the top of the screen with one finger and you get the notifications area.
Pull down with two fingers and you immediately get the quick settings.
Presumably this will work just fine on all smartphones. (The worrier in us, however, is slightly concerned about strange touch panels behaving weirdly, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.) In practice, we got the hang on the two-finger swipe just fine, though we're not quite at 100 percent in practice. Most of the time it works, sometimes it doesn't. Chalk that up to prerelease software, perhaps, or (more likely) operator error.
Quick settings and tablets
Things are pretty much the same on tablets in Android 4.2. You have the same quick setting buttons -- with auto rotate swapped in here for the cellular connection button. (Presumably the mobile network button will remain on any tablet that has a data connection.)
The other difference for tablets is in how you access the notifications and quick settings pulldowns. You still drag from the top of the display (in either portrait or landscape orientation). But notifications are on the left, and quick settings are on the right. There's no one- or two-finger swiping. (And you can't full both down at the same time. We've 'shopped that picture for sake of example.)
It's not yet known if applications will be able to add items to the notification menu, or how they'd be able to do that without breaking the iconography. As of now, there's no way to add or remove settings.
Be that as it may, quick settings are a welcome addition in Android 4.2, and Google's implemented them in a smart manner.

We know?

Nice

Nearly wet myself when I read title as thought someone had ported this, wishful thinking on my part anyway thanks op.
