Java & PQzII with Kaiser.....need help...Menneisyys where are you??!! - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi all.
Of late I deceided to try out some QVGA Java games on my Kaiser and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at the sheer quality and volume of the midlets available.
Now my Kaiser can run most of them without issue using the D-pad in portrait mode (Landscape is not an option as the Games are 240x320!), but I have come across many games that really do need the use of more of the phone pad buttons i.e. we have buttons 2,4,6 and 8 for directional movement (in most games) with number 5, being the Action key..great! But in many of the more advanced games, one really needs access to some of the numbers (0,1,3,7 & 9)and or characters (* & #).
Mein
In short, after reading Menneisyys's incredibly detailed and informative 'Button Enhancer Bible & great button config tips for Opera Mobile / Mini users', I am still no closer to understanding how to map and hardware buttons to application specific PQzII vitual buttons.
I really need some help here if there are any gurus here in this department.
I must stress the importance of this for me. I love the polished look and feel of Java games over the purpose built Pocket PC games and also love how virtually most apps are less than 1/2 a megabyte!!
Space saver or what? Besides my 2 children both have the HTC Wizard and are desperately wanting Dad to get this sorted...so please help an old fella out or take pity on my kids who are currently Javaless. lol.
No seriously any help is truly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

bump......

I'm not aware of any guides - the one coming with PQzII is pretty bad. Moreover, the GUI isn't really intuitive, unless you already know some other button enhancer tool. However, if you just play with PQzII, you'll surely learn it. It took me too some half an hour to learn its GUI.
Let me know if you don't succeed at it and I post a more detailed review as soon as I have some free time. (Dunno when - I'm very-very busy.)

Oh well...not to worry. I'll keep at it. Thank you very much for replying though, it's appreciated.
For anyone else interested, Vito Button Mapper is supposed to be the best application for application specific button mapping...so I'm trying the trial version of that too. If anyone knows how to get this going foe Opera mini too, that would be great. Cheers.

PointUI on the TyTN II

I just installed the latest build of PointUI (www.pointui.com) on my TyTN II, and really like the slick interface and touch capability. Anyone else running this app, and if so have you run into any issues? The fact that the software will remain a free product makes it worth the "testing".
Thanks.
James
Theres a couple of threads on this already. I have installed it but my TyTN II locks up every time within 2 minutes of starting, even after a soft-reset so have given up for now.
I may give it another go when they fix all the bugs listed on their forums and add more features to make it more usable and by then hopefully my lockup issues will be solved as well.
I did use it for some days but I hate that the 'close' button is not an actual close button at all. It just minimizes the app instead of closing it. So it is very memory consuming.
But I did like the interface and the way it worked. Just wait a little longer to have them some issues solved.
plexat they have just fixed the close program issue today with this update
http://www.pointui.com/files/tests/hardwarekeys2/home.zip
Copy the exe over the old one and you now have a close button instead of a minimize one!
It also fixes the issue with hardware buttons not working.
the background color is horrid and the icons are goofy. but the app itself is pretty slick and i like the update manager.
i haven't used it that much, but the only bug i've experienced is while swiping my finger from side to side to move the applet ribbon the touch cube activates. i didn't know it could activate with a side to side motion.
anyway, for a beta product this thing is incredible. it has huge potential. after revisions, i think this will be a must-have app.
just installed it on my phone and it works for about 2 mins before freezing, once already its reduced my screen to randon red and yellow dots, so thats getting uninstalled.
shame really as the 5 mins i did get to spend playing with it i was quite impressed
or i would if it had a proper uninstaller
very nice!
Just installed this in a WM6 emulator (having no real WM6 hardware at this time) and I must say it is superb! It feels like an iPhone (heresy to say something around here, I know). I almost have to say that it is better then TouchFLO (Yet another heresy to say something around here).

This is a great update! I didn't like the idea of all my apps running in the background. Thanks for pointing this out.
yay! it lets me get to the hardware buttons!

No problem. I dont really know how I found it I have a tendancy to go to forums and open all threads that interest me by holding ctrl down and clicking on them. Then I read through and close them as I go.
I just happened to come across the update in one of the threads I was reading! One of the developers had posted a link to the file in the middle of a thread.

The cube activating is due to your touchflo config file. All you need to do is edit the config file to exclude pointui and the cube will not activate while pointui is open.

Where did you get an emulator from, i would be interested in this.
PointUI - some notes
Great app, but the problem is it cannot start my 3G connection when e.g. updating weather, or using update manager.
DAMN!
When I start the connection manually from normal WM6 interface, it works then, but it's annoying...
Any help with this?
Thanks,

You know, the saddest part about it all is that even with our $700+ dollar devices (unless you're like me and sold your soul to AT&T... $150 Kaiser baby!) we're all dying for a UI like this. Tell you what, if it wasn't for you guys and the xda-developers community, there's no way in hell I would have gotten this phone. Dutty's ROMs are magical stuff, man. Tell you what, after a few more weeks/months of dev. and a full version with a less... erm... blue background, I'd pay $50 for this program if it allows me to get through my day without ever seeing any part of the traditional Windows Mobile UI. I'd pick it up for $100 if they included integrated task manager, file explorer, media player, web browser, and other essential software. Hell, I'd gladly go higher if they allowed me to never have to see any part of Windows Mobile GUI again. The Kaiser kills the iPhone in functionality (that's why we're all here, right?), but man pointUI is a step in the right direction towards closing the "sexiness" gap.
Okay, rant over.
I'm note sure I would pay $100 for the UI, but I do agree that this is exactly what Windows Mobile needs. Overall function is great and with just a few minor fixes/changes this would be the killer app for any WM device.

I cannot agree more than what you say. HTC is a superb tool designed by engineers with some "help" from designer people. I love it, but my god the interface is sometimes not sexy at all (just compare the icons of pointui as an exemple
Iphone is a superb tool made by designers. I love it from a purely design point of view, but it lacks a lot of things engineers love (openness, 3G+, GPS, etc.)
Now the TYTNII plus a pointUI type interface would be the top must. The very few minutes I spent with pointUI, I loved it. I will keep it as soon as it really work and have more customization.
Now, I am sticked to HTC, because it is quite easier to adapt a new interface to an existing device, than the contrary
Thx
hi, i just downloaded this PointUI but i dun quite like it yet..so i decided to uninstall it. The problem is now my left softkey is stuck with 'Home' even after uninstalling and removing everything that is PointUI related (i think i've done everthing )
so, would anyone be kind enough to teach me what to do next?! please!!
thanks in advance!!

I had the same.. fairly easy to fix:
get yourself a registry editor (PHM for example)
navigate to: \HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112
change: Default string to 'phone' (from Home)
change: Open string to '\windows\cprog.exe'
then i'd do a soft reset.
should work..

Doom on my kaiser!

and here it is!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig2NIxeMqRE
hope you recognize the music, It's the songs that were used in doom, which were made into midi versions in the game.
nice. the playback looks smooth. do you know what frame rate you are getting?
and, where can I get that!?
Excellent! Didn't know that existed, I've downloaded and been playing it myself for the last hour. Controls take a bit of getting used to, but otherwise its ace!
For those searching for this game, search for gfdoom to get the program then doom1.wad for the maps.
hey Mikey! would you like to release your configuration files or are you using the default ones?
this game is tha bomb. first game I played on my first PC. imho doom2 wad is the best. I just love double barrel shotgun.
thx again
bro
Download link???
Settings???
Any more info to help the rest of us re live this timeless classic???
Is there an option to make it into landscape mode?

Giles! its nice to see you on the forum!
First off, I'd like to thank danits for showing me how to configure doom with the keyboard.
ok so to make it landscape you must go into options and toggle the quality from low and high. this wont really change the quality, it rotates the screen.
as far as configuring keys, check out the other doom thread I made in the Development and Hacking section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369438&page=2
there is a program you can use, that when you press a key, it gives you a code. this code is required for assigning keys in doom. see my examples in the other thread.
and here's my skin file, with keyboard support.
the controls are the same as all my other config's if you've used them.
and keep in mine ive made the windows key the button to flip the screen.
That is soo cool... thanks for the video =)

its really a shame the author never finished his last update. he came soo close, it was literally just a a couple days away, then he disappeared.
his updated WAS going to contain a much easier way to configure keys
proper keyboard support
MUSIC
improved peformance i think
he was also working on a zdoom port.
its too slow, but that would have been worked on too if he didnt disappear.
Where is the WAD
ANy one found where you can get a functional WAD file.
THe link to Jimmy software is either dead or just a front screen.
google.com
Ok after playing with it last night, it works, BUT
it does not work with gfDOOM Launcher.exe.
it gives me an "Doom Error"
You cannot -file with the shareware version.
register!
If I start from gfDOOM.exe it works but I can not get it to landscape mode
no matter what I do.
I dont know why is everyone makes this hard to get this game with all necessary files.
Careful. If you have posted a link to the full game its against the forum rules (it is warez).
I'd remove it if I were you.

Apps that will make your friends jealous

Ok, so I have been around here a couple months silently eating up all the great info posted on this site. I have flashed my fair share of custom ROMs and have found one that I am comfortable with. So now I need to load up my TP with the best "goodies" I can find. Sure I can email, text, surf, dial...but I need MORE! Looking for cool apps that will help me get my moneys worth out of the device (and amaze my jealous friends). A couple fun ones that I have found include security apps, torch , sms bombers, shazam etc.. Any suggestions, .cabs and/or links for cool/fun apps would be greatly appreciated. Paid or freeware.
Sorry if this has been posted and I am sure there are individual threads for these apps but my patience is limited to 20 pages of forum digging and custom search phrases. I did find many "must have apps" threads but all seem to be for the android.
This would be good for me since I am a new Raphael user too.
Specifically if there is an alternative email client app that uses a different UI than the standard Outlook, meaning not ProfiMail or FlexMail
you can't go wrong with hdWobble, serach it
Warcraft 2 will make you the centre of attention.
Seriously look for it. It looks great and unlike many of the other 'impressive' ports, it is really fun and playable! I find fps games are a pain to conrol on this type of device.
Diamond hologram is really cool to. It uses the accelerometer to do a 3d effect on the screen.
Search these things up
The last couple of days I have been playing with PockeTwit. Cool little app. to play on Twitter.
Any emulator. especially the FPSECE playstation emulator, maybe mID, google maps?? WMwifirouter so they can use their ipod touchs to surf the web off your phone, youtube player,htorchflashlight...too many to name really.

SPB Mobile Shell is so great!! you should show this to ur friends: especially the contacts carousel!!
anotherone is ShootME v2.5 thats one of my favs, i love when iphone owners show me the shotgun app they have then i whip out my uzi haha, and i actually had one of my friends freaked out with the hair clippers one. it really sounds and feels like you are getting a chunk of hair cut off haha
SPB Mobile Shell 3 and Kinoma Play are my two favorite apps.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention emulators like this one and PicoDrive works well for me to emulate Genesis ROMs. I played several games all the way through, ppl go nuts over Sonic, etc. So many great games on the system.
Many emulators I find work well enough to show off, but when it comes to quality of play they are limited. For example, without mapping of keyboard, using an "on screen" controller paddle, you are unable to simultaneously hit 2 "buttons" at once, due to the limitations of the resistive touch screen (no multi-touch). So for Mario turning mid-jump, forget it. To have the keyboard slid open while playing these emulators typically results in terrible performance, only a few ppl with a select combination of settings and ROM and d3d drivers managed to make it run reasonably with keyboard open.
im sorry mate but whoever told you that resistive screens dont support multitouch lied to you in the face.
there is multitouch out ther it just is in proper use by every one , take a look at fuzemobility and search there . there is an article on it along with a playstation controler completely mapped out to use multitouches ,no lie ! . the idea behind it is when you touch two places the place the exact same distance from both of them is registered, so with good placement and good mapping its possible :]
Slide to unlock has to be the best app for this phone hands Down..
I cant stand the basic winmoble unlock feature this one gives you the iphone slide to unlock so far works great for me..

go to right side, it also has a link to the latest xda thread
Personally I like the netflix account one along with the getsportz. I have also played with WebTV and a few bartending apps. I would also like to mention RSSHub and BeejiveIM as nice apps... I dont use facebook but there are a lot of social netowkring apps to show off if you do use them.
As for showing off... I personally like TF3D2... with the people tab and the stock tab!!! Apple has nothing on us with those two tabs.
And if you liek games there a thread with a super and mega pack of games that you can get and it will install a ton fo games to play with.
SoBBie
Impressive doesnt always mean eye-candy....
Have them bring along their laptops and whip out WMWifiRouter.
People are always impressed when I whip out iGo with TTS enabled.
Skyfire with MS Silverlight 2 support is pretty friggin awesome considering it has (and is) taking linux programmers months to get going on their systems.
MS Voice command is another...tell your phone to play music by tracks and artists and have it read aloud text messages. Not availible on the iphone until just recently I believe.
Any capacitive programs (touchlockpro and how you can program a personal "touch" combination to unlock your phone also gscroll
Incallrecording...
Software that will text you with the SIM card information and exact (by GPS) location of your phone in the event it is stolen and another sim card is placed in it..
The list goes on and on...but the best thing I like is that it makes calls!! I say WOW everytime it rings!!!

I Need Ideas - Raphael Programming

Hello all,
I recently started a course here at Purdue University on Mobile Software development (Windows Mobile).
I need some ideas for programs I should write. Please reply to this thread or PM me if you'd like.
I have experience with C#, VB, C++, and C, among other languages.
Thanks
Jason Flittner
how about a dedicated xda forum app?
How about a sports ticker. I'm still surprised there isn't one yet.
BTW, I think I saw a xda app when I was poking around the other night.
I'm trying to think of ideas but my minds drawing a blank...
Here's the XDApp
Gonna expose my nerdiness here, but you asked...
How about an app that accesses the D&D Insider online compendium of rules and data? Not sure what would be involved, but I'm betting that there's no API available, so it'll probably never happen.
OTOH, it would be nice to see a really high quality dice-rolling app that takes full advantage of the g-sensor and the hardware accelerated graphics...something that looks like dice inside a tumbler, you know? Maybe start with a really slick Yahtzee-style game, and build up to polyhedral dice for us game-geeks?
I'd be happy to provide you with some guidelines for building. I'm sure we could find you a suitably good graphics guy, too, if you're not up to that part (I could do that, in a pinch).
I want my phone to do this:
But until then, I would like to see an ap like Skype, but for mobile that will easily switch you from cellular network to VOIP.
I have two ideas:
#1 - I don't know if this is even possible, but an application that turns on WIFI and/or Bluetooth in a receive only mode briefly every few seconds and listens for user selected devices in range and then performs user selected actions.
The idea is that the it would use less power than leaving WIFI and/or Bluetooth on all the time, but when I get in range of my wifi router at home, it turn WIFI fully on and sync my phone. Or when I'm in range of the WiFi at work, it could turn my ringer to vibrate. Or when I get into the car, it detect my Bluetooth stero, connects to it, and opens the music player.
#2 - Probably simpler than #1, a program that turns WiFi and/or Bluetooth on automatically when the phone is plugged into a charger and then performs specific user defined actions, similar to idea #1.
I don't know if programs like this already exist, but I haven't found them.
Dylan
I like these ideas, please keep them coming. I am not sure what the requirements will be as far as our programming projects are concerned but from what I understand I have alot of freedom in project choices!
I am in another robotics programming class working with the iRobot Creates and I was thinking it would be really sweet to program something that could allow the 2 to interact in some way/shape/form!
I am also very excited about GPS technology I wouldn't mind programming something that would utilize the GPS or triangulation!
Thanks for the contributions all, please keep them coming!
~JFlitt
With all that programing skill you could create some pretty neat apps.
Ive always liked the windows desktop interface.
How about a windows xp-like launcher?
Complete with movable desktop icons, windows, etc.
I am aware that wisbar advance desktop allows you to do this, but alot of those skins are a hassle, and they are not very complete. Plus they dont exactly take advantage of any 3d graphic drivers..
But anyways back to the point, with a windows xp desktop like interface it would be easier to use the phone.
I would not have to stretch my thumb all the way to the top left of the phone.
Oh and you could possibly utilize the touch pros capacitive touch panel for controlling the mouse.
You could also get google android working with more functionality. I am aware that there is work being done on it, but someone with so much programing knowledge could really speed up the project.(Im android crazy)
Or, if all that is too much to complete in limited time, then how about an application that will allow multi touch using the touch panel?
And also, resistive touch screens are supposedly multi touch capable.
I hope i gave you enough ideas.
Good luck.

ye s a facebook like app
But would love to see a app recreate the zoombar
on my tp
VOIP
Hi,
I have an idea and it is possible.
how about having an app on your phone to configure your SIP provider settings in it ( 5 different proxy ) and then when you want to dial a number, you can right click on it and chose " voip dial ".
Skype already gives you a the menu for skype calls when u right click on your contact .
if you can add a menu to TF3D settings->communication->VOIP and we can add 5 different proxy in it and we can activate more than one proxy at the same time in order to RECEIVE AND DIAL voip calls from our phone it would be awesome since microsoft is not allowing this kind of apps on marketplace .
Tnx

a good "made for raphael" nes or snes emulator would be great since all the other ones out there are out dated and seem to work grat on old phones but are horribly laggy on the touch pro...wierd... the only good one ive found is a jap build of nester (nesterj4u) built for an hp phone or pda im not sure but the keyboard slides out to the right so landscape mode is upside down when i want to use the keyboard >_<
a good streaming media app thats a bit easyer to use than the one that comes with the phone would be great with some tv links on it like surfthechannel or tvdome would be great.
a youporn app to copliment the youtube app would be awsome
hmmm a good compass that simply points north (true or magnetic) with degrees would be awsome for when i drop mine on the roof trying to point my sat.
a simple freeware level would also be awsome since ive only found trialware levels so far
an hourglass would be a fun pointless app for when i get bored of pouring digital beer.
a goofy clip art picture editor could be fun just to mess with. maybe with some fish eye lens and carnival mirror opptions would be fun.
a free streaming radio app would be cool too....
sorry for the long list cant sleep ... figured the more ideas the better
ps. im not sure if any of these already exist havent checked lately so if anyone know if they do feal free to point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated
ok, I'm gonna try to have this make sense, but no guarantees. how about a simple titanium plugin framework? something that **doesn't** use mortscript? as mscript is good for certain things, it's not for others. this way there is an easier way for developers to make new plugins for it without having to use a slow scripting language. does that make any sense?
How about a talking GPS
I was out on my mountain bike today. I have a Garmin unit on the handle bars for navigation and listening to music from my Touch Pro in my pocket.
I was riding a fast downhill section through the some trees when I realized I was taking my eyes off the trail to make sure I was still on course.
I've used this http://www.basicgps.co.uk/ for Geocaching but it can only take you to one waypoint at a time. You can't use it to follow a route.
How about making an application which can steer you along a route using voice commands.
(Tomtom and others can only do this on roads, not off-road)
mixture of gps and accelerometer
well can u create an app the tells u ur speed while u are travelling like there is one app which does it in i phone it uses motion sensing and gps there are apis for both you can code it in c# with .net fw 3.5 and if u require help i am available i too know c# .
sound control
What about an app. that would control all of the sound feature such as the ear speaker,speaker phone speaker,and possibily microphone independitly,like bass,trebl,vol. That way a person could tailor the phone to sound the way they want it to sound when they are talking on it or whatever.
Just a thought.
Programing Ideas
A project that I have been toying with is a "Now" button for the calendar. Those of us in consulting need a simple and quick way to insert the current time in the Start Time and End Time field, which ever is selected. I've not been successful so far.

How about that app the iPhone has where you can transfer contacts by putting the phones next to each other and shaking it to transfer or sliding it across to the other phone.
All for now will think of more
*edit* Forget this its kind of pointless when we can send contacts via sms/IR beam
How about the ability to use our Fuze's as remote controls like you could with PDA's, open your garage door, turn on your 360 or TV, forgot to turn your laptop off, send it a signal to shut down from anywhere
There're some cool applications on Android. One application changes the ringtone based on GPS location. It sets ringtone to loud at home, lower the volume in office and automatically sets the phone to vibration when you are in a theater.
Another application is about setting alarm based on location. You can set an alarm about buying some stuff in a store, next time when you pass by the store, alarm goes off.

My 1st TyTn II, what 'must do's' are there?

I'm a complete newbie to this phone and the MS operating system. If you're able to offer any advice on 'must have' or 'do this now' revelatory tools or apps or settings I'd be very grateful... I think
It's a Kaiser with 7200 400Mhz processor with an 8Gb card.
It was on Orange but is unlocked and I've been using it with my works Vodafone sim,
(which supports Blackberry, but as our IS bods won't let me use my own handset on their system and won't give me the password I'm doing without).
My main uses are for Music, TomTom and Office Apps.
I ride a motorcycle & want to be able to connect it to an Autocom for TomTom and for hands free calls.
Two things I'd like to sort now are:
The orientation of the screen for pictures (camera album) is the wrong way up when the screen is in 'tilt' position and I can't find a way of changing this.
The scroll wheel doesn't operate volume when playing music and I can't persuade it to.
Okay guys and gals, hit me!

The search function of this site is a must know.

Firstly, welcome to the forum
Xda-dev isn't really setup for dealing with newbie type questions so as well as the search function already mentioned read-up at the Kaiser wiki which will make you highly Kaiserliterate - stick at it, there's lots to read and a steep learning curve. FWIW I have my TyTN II set up as per my signature only (nothing extra) and all works fine with none of the problems you're experiencing. Good luck with the searching/reading up.
[Edit: Re-reading your post and stylez post, I've realised my TyTN II does in fact 'suffer' from the camera/album orientation issue, it's just not something that's ever bothered me enough to realise it wasn't right.
The volume knob controls the sound in Windows Pocket MediaPlayer as do the D-Pad buttons (which ones depends on screen orientation).]
As others state read stickys\wiki and it will help with your knowledge regards your device & windows mobile in general, the search will pretty much answer all questions as guaranteed if your asking someone else did
Regards album here is an album opens up correct way.
The volume i'm not sure about as have always used PocketPlayer via BT, if you need quick adjustment of volume you can use volupop with AE Button Plus say mapped to long OK or any key of choice.
Hope that helps.
