[APP]QuickCal - dedicated to HTC Diamond, Quick view to 6 calendar events!

Hi guys,
I've finally came up with a piece of software that will enable you to view up to 6 calendar events on one page. This software was done to counter the lack of calendar events shown on the first page of TouchFlo3D.
Updates: QuickCal v1.2
Fixes/improvements:
>Smaller filesize ~300kb
>Added Tasks page to show incomplete tasks
>Does not show "done" appointments from today
>Added quick menu to access pocketOutlook Calendar/Tasks
>Design change, to suit TF3D
>All in a *.cab installation package
Bugs/Glitches
>Uses up about 2MB+ memory while running
>Skips some full-day appointments
As for the problems stated above, I need you guys to evaluate for me. There were some full-day appointments that the app missed. These are really old recurring ones. When I create a new similar appointment, it works. I have no idea about this behavior, but I'm trying to find out.
As for the 2MB memory usage in the background, I'll need an expert on this. Don't know how to reduce this. It doesn't bother me though.
Here are the screens:
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can download it from below!
Remember, do post your comments/bugs!
Thanks!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.1
Here's a screenshot:
The design has been matched to the Diamond's and is specifically coded for VGA devices only. It's been tested on the Diamond, of course
The Exit button does not close the app, but it minimises it. It's recommended to leave the software running in the background, so as to have quick access the next time you invoke it. The page will refresh each time you view it, so you're assured of latest appointments upfront.
Like I mentioned above, this app takes quite a while to load (abt 5secs++) if run fresh. It's my first PPC coding attempt, so perhaps it's not optimised yet
You can download the app below. Simple installation instructions are included. You'll need .Net CF. Tested on v3.5.
Lastly, it's a freeware ..and do post your comments.
Cheers!

Beautiful and very useful.
Could you make the Exit button match the phone buttons on the Diamond, please (the red gradient)?

Hi!
Nice job.
Request:
- Can apts made to be scrolled like other lists in Diamond? With my finger?
- Can we include Tasks/ToDo lists from Outlook Mobile? Eg: on another tab? I really miss this one!
- I guess there is no option to incorporate it into TF3D. No plugin structure...
Keep up!

I already have a matching Exit button, but the problem is, I can't get the rollOver effects done. The image does not change. (I have both ON/Off images), so after quite a while of trying, I decided to release it as such and work on it later on.

My goal is to make the app fade/scroll in like HTC's SIP selector... but that's kinda far-fech for a newbie PPC programmer like me. I'll pursue for answers in time to come.
Task lists? I might be able to get those on on another tab or something. I seldom use the task feature, so left that out for now.
TF3D seems to be 1 whole complete application with no external access for now. I wish it could be incorporated into TF3D
Experts, if U guys can help me out in the requests, it'll be good. Also, I wanna know how to optimize the code.
Thanks guys for the comments and keep'em coming!

Please note that the program's icon is not transparent, it has a black background...
I have to say I really like the program. Once the 3 remaining isuues are solved, it will be really great. As a reminder, these are:
Faster loading time
Matching red Exit button
Including ToDo's
Thank you for your effort
Oops! I see a bug. For some reason, I get appointments displayed, but NOT the next ones! It jumps quite a few. Could you please check that out? Make sure all day events don't cause you problems...

instead of that huge exit button (which makes you think your TD will explode when it's pressed), why not putting "exit" on the right side of "about" ?

Good job!! Thanks!!
Suggestions:
1. Show month and date. Now I only see the date.
2. Scroll bar perhaps?
3. Black background, for fitting the whole HTC Diamond outlook.
4. Intergrate into the TouchFlo 3D (perhaps too technical requested )?
A beautiful application!!

Could you help me identify what causes this? I've tried multiple all-day events, and they all seem to show with the start time of 12AM.
Thanks

That's a great app, I don't get why there's no native way to see upcoming appointements in wm6 calendar, except by using normal today screen
One off-topic question :
What app do you use to have the open apps in the status bar like in your screenshot?

It's called WkTask. Great task manager.
You can view your calendar items on your default calendar, but there's no quick view to tell you what are your next x appointments.

Thank you, I just tried that task manager it's great, but I think I'll stay with the original one which is more simple

Did u use C# for this app?

Erm, I wouldn't advice replacing the WM6 calendar with this app. This app is just a viewer, nothing else. The WM6 calendar is the real thing which allow you to add/edit/del appointments.
If youre talking about changing the Calendar link on the TF3D screen to this app, I'm not sure how yet.

The more bitmaps you use, the more memory your app uses...
Don't worry. You have to make a choice.

I appreciate your hard work and like the idea, but MAN your design is ugly.

Alternative to SPB Mobile Shell *Today Plugin Only*

Hi all, I hate asking broad questions like this, but I've been looking around and just can't find anything..
I really like SPB Mobile Shell, but I only use the Today plugin. I don't use the Now, Cube, any of that other stuff it provides. Ever.
What I do use is the ability to tab other Today plugins, Most Recently Used/Pinned apps, and a single Photo dailer.
Seems like not a lot out of all of the SPB Mobile Shell functionality, so does anyone know anything that does the above? I'd just like to check out some alternatives, compare ram usage, screen real estate usage, etc.
The 'complete' list of what I have under SPB Mobile Shell, just in case it helps:
Tab1: MRU/Pinned Apps
Tab2: SPB Weather Today plugin
Tab3: Battery Status Today plugin
Tab4: Alarm stuff, but never actually use it except for times in 3 countries
Tab5: Photo Dialer
And on the today screen I also have PhoneAlarm and the generic Calendar today plugins, for a total of 'three' plugins on the Today screen. I like to be able to see the PA and Calendar plugins all the time.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I'll jump in before someone screams at you about using the search
THIS is my all singing, all-dancing saviour. Don't take much notice of the screenshots, because they look awful, it's all fully customisable.
If you like fiddling D) with your phone and you don't mind taking some time to choose your backgrounds etc, I'm pretty sure this'll satisfy your today screen requirements.
It's absolutely awesome, and so perfect (for me) that I can't believe it took me so long and so many searches and general browsing to find it.
Simply perfect imho.

Well, I thought it was clear that I'd searched, googled, and basically read up on all of the typical today/launchers/etc.. So just to make it clear; I did
WAD was one I looked at, but my god, people were talking about it "only" taking 6.5M of ram, etc...
I does look extremely flexible, but it's simply a ram whore. I suppose I should have mentioned that was one that I'd looked at pretty closely.
I haven't seen mention of what space it takes up with some sort of 'minimal' theme, but all the themes I've seen for it are really overcomplicated. But perhaps I haven't seen the 'right' theme yet. Most of them were based around viewing some interesting 'information' but few were showing off the abilities to use the device.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll keep looking at WAD, assuming that this 6.5M figure is for these huge themes I've seen and typical usage is much lower.

I use Today Revolution/T-Revolution/Hinavigator Touch-to-Go.
I use all these names but i enjoy it. mind you it does not have a lot of skins yet but it works for me so far.

did you not find Spb Pocket Plus?

Does SPB Pocket Plus allow you to put arbitrary plugins in tabs? I actually trialed it before SPB Mobile shell and I don't recall it having that ability.
Okay, I've dug some more, apparently it can do that. I'll have to re-evaluate it, not sure why I didn't stay with it before. Thanks for pointing that out to me!
Good thing is, I've hard reset due to switching ROMs since, so I can trial it again.

I don't know if you want something this complete but my sig says my favorite! THROTTLE!

Yes you can put whatever plugins you want in pocket plus. Its fine in WM 6.0 but has some little issues with WM 6.1. There is an icon refresh issue but its minor (after a soft reset, the icons are messed up, you have to refresh the tabs to correct them). Its due for update (Dec 07 is latest) and that may help.
That said, I went back to Throttlelauncher. I did try the new Manilla2d but you can't load your plugins on that.

I was just jumping into this thread to follow up and was going to gripe about that issue. I Haven't looked at their forums, but I assume they're aware of the problem. That is annoying.
I've 'reorganized' my home views a bit, now I have one screen with my main used apps plus what would follow behind them, since there's no MRU. And about half the time some random number of them have no icons. Fixing it is easy, but tedious, unless there's some way to refresh all of them that I haven't seen.
I'll peep at Throttle, I hadn't looked at it too closely, I thought it looked mostly like "canned" info, not stuff you could pull things into.
Otherwise, Pocket Plus seems to be working out fairly well. I'm playing with Diary too, but it's really slow to load so I think I won't stay with it. If I used it as "the" Today screen, it'd be fine I suspect.
Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone!

Here's what I have so far.. I am going to add a photo dialer somewhere I think, I was sorta using Diary for that but that's about all I think I'd use it for, so it's way too much for that.
The tabs are in order, but I didn't highlight the tab above so it's not obvious I guess.. The fourth tab is currently empty.
FYI, the weather is SBSH with the "Wonder" skin and Samurize Huger icons.

Touch pro simple shell?

hello users!
my father has a touch Pro, but he is really struggeling with it. the touchflo 3D is just too difficult to even make a simple call. (you have to go to home menu and then click keypad or something)
is there a shell (like spb shell) where you have a simple menu with contact, call now, email, internet etc? so u can quickly see what to choose? i know spb shell but are there more of these kind of shells?
thanks in advance ^^

You could always disable touchflo 3d.

So pressing the "green" key is too complex?

green key brings up a list of people you called and have called you... does not bring up a keypad to simply call people for as far i can remember. for people who aren't in your adress book. i'll check it tomorrow. and disabling touchflo 3D doesn't really make stuff simpler, windows thing sucks big time!

What I do is use rlToday. rlToday is a today screen plugin that is completely customizable using XML code, which can be setup to look and display just about anything.
http://rotlaus-software.de/projects/rltoday/
Not everyone is XML savvy but luckily it supports themes from other users (which can be edited to your liking). I normally use Custom roms that exclude the default shell all together, or simply disable it in favor of rlToday.
There are TONS of user made skins ranging from various complexities. I favor simplistic approaches. My theme has a large digital clock toward the top, displays the date in a smaller bold font as well with the Carrier name when service is available. At the bottom I used a finger-friendly simple button graphic that is repeated 4 times along the bottom to act as quick shortcuts. The 4 graphics is SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and VM... each with a simple numeric counter that displays the amount of each. Each finger-friendly graphic acts as a shortcut to their respective programs.
Simply copy this folder into the rlToday install directory (\Program Files\rlToday\). Then on the main screen, tap and hold for a popup menu which has Options. There is a Skin tab which contains a dropdown box which should now list "Diamond". Selecting this and exiting the config app will show it now being displayed as the homescreen.
You can also customize my theme to include more buttons for such as your browser. The code is already in place, you would just have to copy the code for a button, duplicate it, and manipulate a few things such as the name displayed and the location of the program launched.

Pressing the Green key does bring up the dialer pad making it easy to make a call.

no it brings the keypad
now nobody claimed WM is the easiest thing to use
nobody forced anybody BUYING WM either
better get your father a (simple) Nokia

The green button brings up the number pad. From there you can start dialing a number or type a name using the keypad which will bring up the best matches.
I actually LOVE this feature. You really only need to press 2-3 buttons to get to any contact on your phone.
Anyway, it sounds like a Windows Media phone was a poor choice and may be a bit complex for your father. I still stand by my logic that using rlToday as a homescreen is the best choice as you can put exactly what your father requires.

More like a Jitterbug

To make a simple call, just press the 'send' key at the bottom left. . goes straight to a regular-ass keypad.
edit: sorry. . already mentioned earlier. . I don't have a 'green' key tho
....
F it!! Just get him a Jitterbug.
(I was looking for their theme song as a ring tone for my dad... but then my dad died so I have nobody to use that on)

The key isn't green! Its a white phone, not a green one.
Maybe the Sprint versions have a green phone button.

You bloody idiot, it is the sme damn button.

OK this whole thread needs closing.

It is white on Sprint and green on Verizon, not sure about GSM. Either way it does bring up the phone keypad.
It really is not all that complex, he just needs someone to explain some of the easy functions to him. If that is not good enough he really should not be using this device.

there is a learning curve on switching phones.
tf2d is similar to tf3d but a tiny bit simpler
spb products are somehwat easy but u need to pay
home 1 and home 2 is very simple and its free but u can pay for pro
he can even open the phone to the qwerty and type in who he wants to call and done
Good Luck

You have the background code removed. If he doesn't have bg 4 all tabs which has the background code moved into manila.mode9 then that is probably why he's getting the missing home background.

can this be used on other M2D beside Rhodium rom?
e.g M2D running on Samsung Omnia?

can you please provide a pic of this in landscape so I can see what 'not good' looks like?

That might be true. Background works great with "bgalltabs" installed. without, then I also get no background on the main tab.

finally!!

does anyone know a way of getting call history next to clock? or maybe on top curtain?

Hi,
Thanks for this great mod!
Is it possible to have a version where only the second home screen (with small hour) contains 5 appointments, leaving the home screen (with big hour) exactly as it is right now, with 1 appointment?
Thanks!

reserved...my freiend

also this one too... ya never know...

nice~~looks really minimal and i like the blue =D

almost thought you had forgotten about lacuna from your other thread ..
so let me repost some feedback from the other thread and add feedback based on v2.0
clock:
next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
apps:
option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
also qould be quite cool, if we go with the sliding theme, if the apps page (faves and all programs) could be brought up by sliding the main screen up
friends:
favorites would be very good
text:
i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
when i get a new text message, i click on 'new texts' but it doesnt open anything, when i go swipe to the text page, my new text does not appear there either
mail:
im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
just on this, when i was the friends page, and i click on the 'text' it takes me to the 'mail' page, but then the theme doesnt respond anymore??
alternate home screen: YES PLS

the impementation of clicking the text or mail word... doesnt work... as you found out... that is going to be disabled... the screens already scroll super easy... not hard to go from one end to the other...
im working on making the apps page so you can drag it up... not there yet...
i havent configured the sms program chooser yet....
mail page works... im not sure to what extent... i didnt code it... lol...
i am glad u like the alt. home screen... i think its pretty smexy too
as always... thanks for your great feedback wil_dee

Ok Thanx! Great

Very nice simple and elegant, but have following questions:
Mail page does not show anything, i looked through all xml and found nowhere any mail settings.
Wouls also love the option to select to show only favorites contacts or to add some favorite peoples.
Same for favorite programs, maybe an additional page to add a few programs and settings shortcuts.
For me the best solution would be if i could replace the contact page by a shortcuts page, where i would place 5 shortcuts to subfolders for weather, internet, fav people, applications and settings (i already have them).

This theme is without HW acceleration? Or need acc. too
Good luck

no acceleration required

Hi,
can you help me with some questions:
If installing this .cab, does it
- Add a new Element to select from the Home screen setting
- Does it interffere with Sense / CHT
- Can it be uninstalled without damaging the installation?
Thanks
Gescha

I am assuming that you are referring to throttle launcher itself
it is not linked to or related to Sense or CHT it is a UI in its won right so you would have to choose and deslect whichever you wanted at any given time.
It can be install/uninstalled without effecting anything else

Well .. what can I say? This is the best theme so far. I'll stay tuned for updates. Thanks.

Really nice. Love the minimalistic look.

Awesome. Love it.

Super Easy
Trek, youve done it again! This is crazy smooth! It is very minimilistic, something I think an option to increase would be great.
what I mean is that instead of opening Apps, and the start menu, maybe a second 'fav apps' screen that opens another screen for just your favorite apps. This is where you program your icons, etc.
Yea, would love the mail to work, but love how responsive text app is.
Another option, I use text alot! Maybe be able to choose which is first slid to (text, mail, friends)
The ability to show weather would really be great, like shown on the first post. Not sure if there is something that I missed.
I do have the same issue with tapping 'text', it goes to 'mail', and then program freeze. Doesn't require a reset, just a reload theme, and its all back.
Lock screen is really touchy. I checked and saw that I had accelleration at 10, with friction at 1. Reversed accell to 1, friction to 3, that helped alot. just a hint to folks out there.
And finally, maybe a calender screen or setting as well?
Love it, super smooth, super simple, great job as always!

most of these things have either been addressed or been implemented ... i like the configurable text, friends, mail order idea... but unfortunately the system im using for making it so easlily scrollable .... this may not be possiblee... no wait.. yeah i can do that..!!! sorry!!!
the picture on th front post with the weather you are refering to is not yet.... but how it will look when i am done..
so you didnt miss anything
i am removing the lockscreen... will prolly make skins or themes for the windows default lockscreen and one for the oboe style...
calendar implementation is planned but still unsure how to incorporate...
tapping text goes to mail bug will be removed... was an attempt that did not work with the concept..
otherwise... glad you enjoy it... my main purpose is to keep it simple and smooth for all devices...
and be Daily driver Worthy... my only currently daily driver worthy one is my own modded version of the BBSTORM theme...
i thought about releasing since it is modded and junk... not technically original design... so i think i might but there is a few things i have to address first.... ill email ya if ya want to try it lol....
thanks for your feedback Jerry
