Hi everybody. When I write SMS with my girlfriend I sometimes mess with the text. For example I write the text down on a paper and writh it backwards like:
Hi sweetheart. I just wanted to say that I stay here one more day. I love you --->
ouy evol I. yad erom eno ereh yats I taht yas ot detnaw tsuj I. traehteews ih.
So that she has to read it from the end.
Unfortunatly I am not a programmer. Could anybody write a tool that can mirro an sms text please. Then it would be easier. No need of paper anylonger.
And if anybody else has more funny ideas it could end up in a fun sms tool.
Thanks alot.
Greets Alex
oh yeah great fun. I suggest you ask your girlfriend to look at the phone facing a mirror and read the text from the mirror image. Just joking no offince There are serious issues which need to be resolved with XDA2 SMS before we can make fun out of it.
Kufi, have you really thinked on what you said ? did you try the mirror ? was the same effect ?
Alex, if i have some time, i'll write a simple app to do it in the next days and post it here
regards
Hey Hbatista! Sounds great!
Thank you very much!
@ kufi if you turn your display off you get a mirror
Alex
loooool guys, you are wonderful! I tried the mirror but what I saw was the ugly me..
here's your tool with source code
Glad that good humour still persists!
Here's your app. I'm including source code and a ARM cab to do the installation. You should copy the cab and dat file to your device and proceed to installation.
Hope it helps
regards!
talking about good humor..
I included in the about box a small credit to Kuffi!
Hi hbatista! Thank you very much for your cool tool.
A copy function would be cool though. Because then I could copy any text into a sms or mms using the normal tools which also stire the send messages.
And... Nice Mirror Pic Man!!
Thanks.
Alex
right away!
no problem!
here's the new version with a copy/paste menu!
Thanks Man.
Really nice one.
Alex
Now I get an error:
MirrorSms.exe
MissingMethodException
Application::Run+0xf
frmSendMirrorSms:Main+0xa
Is anything else exept the files you attached needed to run it properly?
Alex
sorry!
yep.. I only tested it on emulator, and I don't know why the opennetcf is not being correctly installed...
this new version is working...
Now another funny thing. Does anybody remeber these secred languages form childhood? We were about 5 children and we had such a language training it for weeks. At the end we were really fluent and nobody could understand us. My sister and I still use this language for fun every now and then.
Now we could transfair this to SMS.
For example: Iluvi aluvam coluvomiluving laluvateluver.
which means: I a m co mi ng la te r
I am coming later.
The rule is: After each vowel you put luv and then repeat the vowel if there are more vowels in a row like ea you take all of them and put luv there like ealuvea.
Do you like my suggestion?
Any other ideas?
Alex
lol
well, and what about random ? :lol:
the source code is there, so any other posters can change it. now i have to come back to my vehicle tracking system
Thanks anyway.
Very nice tool
Greets
Alex
phonenumber?
Do you need to type the phone number in by hand? I don't know any phonenumber nowadays ...
Copy/paste doesn't seem to work in that field

contacts integration only available at commercial release
(read this post title) :lol:
I'm just kidding.
Well, integration with contacts will be a little more difficult. There is no library to do it in the language i used.
Even the clipboard integration was more difficult than sending the sms (can u imagine ?), because compact framework does not support CE clipboard.
I'm not fluent in eC++, but maybe other posters can do it...
Although, if i have some time i will do it...

Hello hbatista,
I'm trying to find a simple programming language to program small nice functions for my Qtec. can you suggest an affordable language ?
thanks
See OpenNetCF
Hi Abalgir
Right now, the best choice would be eC++ (embedded visual c), but for someone initiating, it could be complicated. You can also choose embedded visual basic (eVB).
Although, Microsoft operating systems are migrating to "Managed code" and .net technologies. This means that you should start thinking on using .net to program the devices. In .net you can choose your favorite language, like c# or vb.net, but i prefer c#.
With .net compact framework, you can do a lot of things, but some core fiunctionalities are still not available, but you can use something like OpenNetCF (see www.opennetcf.org) to do core things like sendsms, etc
hope it helps

I'm on a mission! These are the things that I want to change on my x1. If you know of a way to fix any of these then please please please let me know how.
Here they are in no particular order
1) Auto Que text messages
By this I mean.... if I try to send a text message with no signal I get a big nasty red message saying something along the lines of Message Was Not Sent. Try again? and a loud annoying beep to follow
What I want...... Is to be able to hit send, jam the phone back in my pocket and get back to what I was doing. Happy in the knowledge that if I didn't have signal when I sent the message, it will automatically re-send as soon as I walk into signal.
2) Find a free way of making video calls (I can only get skype to make voice calls)
3) Skin the text messages or find a text message panel to make it easier to use and less ugly
4) Add a storage card shortcut to my start menu
5) Stretch the landscape pin entry to full screen
6) Get the OK button to actually cancel and close things
PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I can hit the x button then select "close" or "close all"
7) Stretch the landscape keyboard to the full length of the screen
PROBLEM SOLVED With Finger Keyboard 2 the keyboard is stretched across the full length of the landscape screen. Plus I no longer have to sharpen my thumb nail to a point to be able to send a text message
8) Totally Remove today screen lines (not just change the color)
9) Play Game Boy Advance Roms in full screen landscape mode
10) Remove "today" and recent programs icons from the start menu.
11) Stretch the top right cross button
I have installed gtrabs SEX1 "F" series Task bar icons and I love them. id also like to stretch the x at the top right of my screen to twice its width. To make it easier to press.
PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I have skinned the x button its not allot bigger but it dose make it easier to press.
12) Make it easier to change tracks whilst driving
I have a sat nav style phone holder that sticks my x1 to my car windscreen in landscape mode, with the buttons out. I connect my x1 to my car stereo and pump out the tunes via my car speakers. But with the media experience panel its so hard to change tracks without looking, the button is so small its dangerous
PROBLEM SOLVED The driving panel is more than what I was looking for it has mph, track shuffle, sat nav button, and perfectly sized volume, track skip, and pause buttons, Xuanlong got it to me 10 days before it was released!
13) Stop the experience panel changing color I want it to stay ocean blue

Where did you get the on the road panel from??
(Pre Release) On The Road Panel
(Pobierz = Download) right click, save target as. some people have problems downloading I managed to get it to work on Internet Explore. Other new panels here but are reported to be a bit buggy.
On the Road Panel looks great, but the navigation button/config does not work
Where can I get my TT maped to the button?
now, that's just lame... this problem fixed by someone @ sonyericssonx1.proboards.com... it sort of sounds like:
'the xda community has once again proven to be unfriendly and unhelpful but thanks god someone at proboards helped me out there, so why don't you guys and gals all come along and let's help ourselves by posting links to stuff that's on xda'
come on dude, you could have just read through topics on this forum to see what's out there that might be useful or used the search option, most of the issues you had and wanted resolved were quick hits
To make the reply box larger in messaging you can use Total Commander to search for and edit the file thread_sms.htm in the windows directory. It's a hidden file so make sure you have 'show all files' checked when you search for it
Look for this line:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell focus count .. .. ..
Change height (in this case 35) to 70 and you get 3 lines for text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you and soft reset after editing the file...
Still an ugly interface but much easier to use. Mine is set at 140.
Sorry, but I had to post this. I saw the other shameless plug for your site on another thread as well and didn't bother to comment. I hate people who say "this looks like an ad" and "you should use search"... but this looks like an ad and you should use search.
I personally don't really care if you want to share your website with others, my only issue is that you should give credit where credit is due.
Might want to change your post to read "problem solved thanks to X @sonyericssonx1.proboards.com WITH solutions that could have easily been solved by using the search function from XDA developers" since most of those tools came from here anyway (apart from the driving panel. wktask is a japanese program, but it was adapted into english on these boards).
But to be honest, if you cant use the search function here, it's probably best to post elsewhere anyways.
PS most of your other points can be found here as well. Just use search.

Classic QFT.
Like I said before, I have no problem with you and your board, but don't rub it in our faces every chance you get.
Again, most of these questions can be answered fairly easily using XDA search.
As I imagine it can be hard to do the storage card shortcut, I'll give you a hint on it. On your phone, navigate to \windows\start menu. There you'll find a whole lot of shortcuts. Copy and rename the extension one of them to .txt and open it. You'll see a nice and comprehensable path there. Adjust it, save and rename back to .lnk. You're all set!
For the shortcut problem (storage card): why don't you try the easiest way "copy"->"paste as shortcut" in File Explorer. That's the most standard way to create shortcut.

Damn you dudes are harsh. He has an awesome site. It's like XDA-dedicated to the X1. Give him a break?? He doesn't get paid for anything, and spends alot of time on that site; only to contribute to the X1 family.
And the comments of [email protected], come on?? No one here knows who some1 is if he just like posts 'xuanlong' or so, but he refers to one of the members of his site. I can tell you now that you wont find all of the contributors and be able to pm them if he just gives their nicknames?
Place yourself in his position before posting your 'comments'.
Have respect, keep your thoughts for yourself

very very debatable... um, actually, very not true
Jeese, some of you guys are like spoilt little kids,
All this guy has done is to take some of his time to make a site dedicated to the X1 and simply gives you links to other websites that have some cool programs on them. It is actually very useful for people who dont have the time to go searching through all of the XDA site.
XDA is a good site but can be difficult to find things relating to the X1 specifically through the search when you only have 5 mins.
You guys are just slating someones hard work for no reason, if you dont like it then don't go to it and dont comment on it.
RESPECT!!!

Ah wow dude, thanx. Someone actually understands and realises this dude's work. It's so much simpler to get around on his site.
I admit, nothing will beat XDA, but this site is dedicated to the X1, much more userfriendly and easier to find things.
All we need is more members and contributions, and that site might become the number 1 Xperia site.
Just take a look at his site. If you don't like it, your loss. And keep your comments for yourself. If you do like it, help out a bit!
Thanx for the GREAT site W I N D L E. Don't give up

As for you other lads who feel like being windle's knight in shining armor, you're behaving just as bad by "bashing" those who oppose his website. Not everyone has to like it, but they have just as much right to post they don't as windle has right to post about it in the first place. Basically, I'm pulling a "right back at ya" here - if you don't like their posts, ignore them!
Besides, he's still advertising his own site, with links to this site, on this site! Doesn't that strike you the least bit as odd?

Resco Contacts. It'll reskin the dialer, the call registry, your contacts and messaging.
PointUI Pro (unreleased).
Touch-IT v4.5 - The new Touchflo pretty much covers over the Winmo interface entirely.
There the ones i've used, others might have other solutions. Touch-IT is the best, but of dubious legality. PointUI will be great eventually, but it's still in early stages. Resco is OK, needs work but it's perfectly useable and better than the standard Windows Mobile stuff.

Gee, how could anyone find XDA unfriendly and unhelpful? I wonder... do you think... it could be posts like that?
Again, I love XDA, it's got good stuff, but all too often, on receives replies that are not friendly or helpful. My opinion is, if you dont have something worth while to contribute, dont bother replying, if it's just to tell them to search, or complain, etc.
And there's nothing wrong with giving a little credit where credit is due. I've seen plenty of links on other sites and blogs, crediting users at XDA in a similar manner.
Since you've already acknowledged some of XDA's perceived flaws, perhaps we could try to improve that image, rather than just taking shots at another site?

If somebody from xperiax1.net had helped me I would have put problem was solved by jimbobjoeorrob @ xperiax1.net and somebody had helped me on xda ect. just giving the credit to those that took the time to help me out rather than ***** about my posts.
hallo developers,
i can t write notes using aebuttons, maybe i could use an other sw freeware recognized by aebutton?
Thank yofor the attention
an other little thing: Since i have bought the phone to read there is some post that collect all the possible issues? I mean e book viewers pdf viewers editor to take notes on the fly back light control, lumo etc I think could be such an usefull idea to open a long post .I imagine thatch exists already but unfortunately I cannot find
cheers
trocchietto sorry for my swype mistakes
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

So, I'm writing a new book. One thing I hate to do is write it by hand and then convert it back into a digital form. So I'm looking forward to writing it onto my phone (Desire) , because I carry it around everywhere and you never know when inspiration might fill you up. Any good apps ? Currently I'm using colornote (An awesome App!) But something else with some extra stuff like with additional formatting options, features to insert images, etc. would be great. Could use some help from you guys. Thanks.
