Hi,
I started testing a kaios powered smartphone for usabillity for blind people.
There is much work to do for kaios on their readout feature, but that part depends on kaios.
a bigger problem is they use a text-to-speech engine that supports just a few languages, dutch(my language) is not in the list so an english voice tries to talk dutch with delivers nothign understandable.
I guess maybe in the time of firefox os there was made an attempt to port espeak to it, but i have no idea how to implement this in kaios.
I am affraid their own development team does not have much interest in fixing this issue, so i am hoping someone here can help me out.
I realy hope to see a reply in this case.

Hi there,
As with some I am new to the world of XDA. I never new this kind of subculture existed!
Firstly thank you to the volunteers who have put a lot of effort in to getting a site like this up and running! Well done.
I should get to my point now...has anyone got a comprehensive list of characters/fonts the XDA2 can display. I have checked the official pages, and also the XDA itself but I am pretty dissapointed with the level of support. I surf lots of pages and also communicate in a number of languages namely Eng/Jap/Kor. But I cannot find any patch to enable display of these languages?
Asking the offical support sites gets the usual response of "We are thinking about it, but have nothing in the pipeline".
This is very frustrating.
If anyone knows when/where I can get this kind of patch I/we would be mutually greatful.
Cheers
Mebius
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

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

Hi everybody.
I wrote a little program for display TV guide for Polish people. This data are getting from tv.wp.pl.
This software has possibility to translate to other language and getting data from other services.
i'm looking for people who can prepare some script to make data for another countries.
My English is not excellent, but if somebody can write php scripts and want to share it to other users, please contact me.
TvV you can see on http://inform.ovh.org - Polish

I would be happy to modify your script to work in the US. Might be little more difficult due to the number of cable/sat providers, but shouldnt be that big of a deal. Let me know what you need me to do
do you work with xmltv?
I think this would make it easier to get a generic result that can be addapted easily to every country...
I'm using TVGuide which is working very well (with xmltv downloaded by PC application jXMLTV). But I miss the possibility to download the xmltv using ppc only.
can you make an english versio of http://inform.ovh.org? I think this will help alot to get other people involved...
I'm tested this program for many days. Works great

I do alot of skinning but finally decided to jump in and try and actually create my own program, and i need a little help
Some of you may be familiar with trinket softwares "fake call." If not you can do a quick read up with this link.....
http://www.trinketsoftware.com/FakeCall/
I am in the middle of developing something similar but a freeware version (if you didn't know the software isn't freeware any longer) I had put a very basic but working program together in basic4ppc, i then found out i had to buy the software to compile the program. Since i already own visual studio 2008 i decided i would go ahead and try to rewrite my program in vs.
I have completed my design, but i need help with the code....
i need a help with-
"sound" - i obviously need to be able to play sound, i have looked in ms help in vs and they provide some keywords but i am getting errors when i debug.....
-how to load images from an xml file- (in need code for the call)
These will all get me rolling and allow me to release a beta......
I'm getting closer and closer
Because everyone has a different dialer or "incoming call screen," i have decided the best way to go about your fake call is to allow people to select a screen shot and a sound of their choice, creating a very customized realistic experience for every phone (as it would look just like the dialer on your phone) without having to input an obsessive amount of information. (caller name, picture, ect..)
thanks for your help in advanced
THANKS TO-
MRABIE
Attention:
The Release is Here
Wow, this is great. Ya, since fake call is no longer free this is a very amazing idea. I know a lot of people here will help you. We just have to wait. =)
Great idea, I downloaded that app a while ago when it was posted and was rather disappointed to find out it was fake freeware. A couple of suggestions, the aforementioned app would use the default ringer. The suggestion seems pretty simple from a logistics point of view but may be more difficult to program than I would imagine, when selecting a person with a ringer other than default associated use that one. Maybe have a call timer that will stay up and count until the end button is tapped. Hope this helps.
I didn't realize that the other software had gone commercial. Thanks for stepping up!!
bump............
What programming language are you using, considering Visual Studio supports several.
In vb.net your Wait method could be replaced by Sleep(milliseconds). Documentation. I am not sure, however, it this method is included in the compact framework, assuming that's the one you are using. Hope this helps somehow.
Full .Net documentation can be found here.
I am using .net but may consider rewriting again later after getting a release to rid the program of dependacy on the .net framework.
I Have updated the list, as i have gotten some stuff already figured out thanks to different people on the forums, THANK YOU
If you guys can help me out with this other stuff it would be greatly appreciated

thanks for posting.
just as a reference, there's something called DOWNCALL which is free and simple.
edit: my bad, this calls someone at a scheduled time.. doesn't fake a call.
this is nice of trinket but will only last until the 24, and is really only supposed to be for our webpage.
UPDATE:
i'm working on xml now
still need help with sound
did this die out or is it still in development?

Heres an app I use called PhoneyCall

Hello everybody.
My pocket guitar app is hobby work, and I must do my main work.
So I decided to publish the Pocket Guitar sources.
Those who wants to take a party developing can offer suggestions about the CODE in this topic.
Anybody who wants can declare themself as a main coder who will compile and publish the versions.
Information about the sources:
C++
VS2005
Pure WINAPI to get maximum performance from hardware.
Assembler inserts for ArmV4 and ArmV5.
Problems need to fix:
1) crackling sound:
Audio buffer is 23ms.
To fix: either increase buffer size to get slower response, or test any modifications on devices with crackling sound to retrieve the problem.
2) screen compatibility
3) app stops working when inactive (incoming ring etc)
And my main HOPE is that in any of your apps you will use only WINAPI, rejecting suxx like .NET and other brakez ****.

I'd really like someone to figure out how to re-orient the strings so you don't have to flip your PPC to get them stacked like a classic right-handed guitar! Other than that, this is a super app!
App
i can run the app, but i try to swing the string
it doesn't work - -
i am using LG KS20
thx
thank you 4 great app but My LGks20 has the same problems. i dont know why !
Hey, i dont understand the difference between the "winapi" and .net?
if i have .net on my ppc will i be able to install this "winapi" and will program`s that require .net still work?
Sorry if this question is qrong in context, i really dont know what they are.
lol! dont worry guyz! iv figured it out!! hahahaha!
google is the best thing since sliced cheese
Does anyone have the source code of this program?
I hope u can fix this
Can u reupload the source please ? thank you
reuploaded
Thank you !!
Can anyone help me to get it installet on my HD 2? Cant get it working.
did anybody start on this project??

Wow!
Thanks for opening the source code of an amazing software!
I wanna take this and will make some change, corrections, improvements, and so on...
Can you inform me that there is any code that must not be opened?
I mean, is all these source files in the zip file are your own?
Then I'll apply the MIT license and post them on code.google.com.
Please reply me. Thank you.
