Thanks to a few people in my FSD Call Capturer thread, I've started thinking about a possible SMS interceptor with a more finger freindly design. I've already got the hard part coded (as in, I can capture the SMS messages) but I have no graphics talent of my own, and I'm not that inventive, so, who wants to give me some ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Source code is in post 41 and post 42.
Id like to see a Full screen contact photo with incoming SMS. Thanks!
Hi L3v5y,
1) if it's posisble disable the system notification.
2) Make an apps who show the sms and 2 or 3 button (Reply, Delete, Close).
I think it's a good idea but you are the dev..
ok here is what i would try to do if i knew how 2
1.Have a pic of the contact shown on the left side of the screen next to the number it came from
2. a scrollable box to show the message received
3. a empty text box at the bottom for quickreply
4. button for dismiss/delete(When clicked would ask if you wish to delete)
5.Button from full reply(in case you want to add pics or clipart)
have it time out after 10 or so sec of screen not being touched
see drawing for a very ruff image of what i'm picturing(keep in mind i'm no graphic artist and did this in about 2min at work using MS paint)
Something like this...?

Great Work Oseven...
Made it with 3 button...
Grodimn :
No text box.... for send mesend message... because where is your keyboard....?????
I Think only for read message and if you click to reply your "normal sms writer are open "
Sorry for my english....
Maybe a combination of Osevens and Grondinms ideas? As in you tap a button to go to the reply screen.
Unfortunately, transperency is difficult to achieve without serious processor usage (that, and I don't know how!)
So, I could do something like that, but it draws a backgound image (customisable, of course) and then has the message icon infront with text. Then, have two or three buttons (reply, delete, mark as read etc) and an auto close function. If the reply is pressed, a screen like Grondinms pops up (although bare in mind there would have to be space for the SIP)
You can disable the SMS notifications under Start->settings->Sounds and Notifiactions, but I could maybe do a config app for that...

Neither. I tried it yesterday and although it's a great app it's just too slow, which is why I suggested what I did as it takes one of the things from it that I liked but won't slow the system as much.

Is something possible where it takes a temporary screenshot of whatever is running at that time and makes it the background? I don't know how feasible that would be, or how fast it would run if it was possible..?

I found if you hold stylus on the white part you get a menu that pops up. It allows you to set the stopwatch color (of the digits) and change the alarm. Those it seems the alarm sound has to be a windows media format. the only other option I had from my device was the dogbark file.
It limited but something.
Any chance on getting a screenshot of this app at all?

Thank you very much.
StopTime
I'll put a shout out for StopTime!
http://home.comcast.net/~jonsachs/#StopTime 2.0
It's free, and you can use any sound you want for the alarm (I think)
Has anyone used this successfully? DOES IT wake up the device when it is off?
Finally, the first post leads to a page that doesn't exist. Is this the same as Jonathan Sach's StopTime?

Me. I use WM 6.1 with this soft flawlessly. It keeps counting properly after Off-on or Sleep-on.
I'm looking for something where I can configure an alarm every 30 seconds or so. Anyone know of anything, I want functionality similar to the stopwatch Timer '08 for my Mac.
problems with Stopwatch
I downloaded the Stopwatch cab to my Fuze and found several problems.
1. It only goes to the second. Not much use for timing laps on the track, etc.
2. The Start/Stop button was partially covered by the Reset button.

Any tips for dialer with bigger buttons (ideally almsot fullscreen) ? I have already tried quite few skins and SPB Contacts and nothing quite met my expectations so far.

Yeah, the second one looks really nice with the WM6 black theme, but the one thing that bothers me about it is that you can't redial the last call by hitting talk on the screen, or hitting send on the phone. You have to click recent calls then click on the call and send.

yeah, not what I was expecting. I was looking for the actual dialer that the iphone uses.
Would also like to get a better dialer.
I would love to get a dialer where the buttons take up the whole screen ... if something should be small it is the number being dialed.
That iPhone dialer looks just as bad as the other skins currently available.
I had been using the JPLDialer VistaII and it worked nice except it doesn't allow last number redial. It looks very similar to the iphone dialer. It was much easier to dial with than with what I am using on Dutty's new rom. I would like a dialer that is full featured, stable and had big manly numbers. I am at work and can't get screen shot. Here is a link I found:
http://rapidshare.com/files/12092377/JPLDialer_VistaII.zip.html
If it has a grass theme it is the one I was using.

I recently installed a dialer by Nadavi and dutty it had send/talk soft keys the buttons are spaced well but for some reason it dont work properly since the hard reset.
The button stay the same, like the black default one and the send/talk button dont appear.......
Not sure what went wrong....
I use a different iPhone dialer, written by Nargalzius. I uploaded it to my Box.net public share. Just click the Kaiser link in my signature, its named iPhone Dialer.
-Also-
If you want to increase the sensitivity of the touch screen, I recommend setting the registry key (HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel\Pressure Threshold) to 5000. It may seem a little high, but the response time is practically instant, and very little pressure required (still enough to avoid accidental presses).
With this dialer, and the sensitivity turned up, I have yet to fat finger/miss a number yet.

Thanks dude, fix the issue, installed Advance Configuration v1.1 and disabled the video dial option and the Nadavi dialer returned.
So, I guess the Nadavi's dialer does not support video dial etc...so it defaults to HTC dialer.
But I'll try the touch pressure setting out as well.
Thanks

I just downloaded and installed and the dialer works great!!
I'll second the desire to have a dialer that takes up the whole screen with just the numbers
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_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!!

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.

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.

Don't worry. You have to make a choice.
I appreciate your hard work and like the idea, but MAN your design is ugly.
I don't know about other people, but it still bugs me that psShutXP's "turn off" button doesn't actually turn the phone completely off, but just merely turns screen off.
I then came across another thread where _DrG_ figured out the command line to actually turn your phone completely off
(31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe", "PowerOff")
I had asked DrG if it would be possible to somehow plug this into psShutXP so that the app would actually be capable of doing a complete shutdown of ur phone. He said yes as long as I could get the source code. Well I tried numerous times to contact the makers of psShutXP and ask them for the source code but no luck. I imagine the only way now to achieve this would be to just make a new app from scratch.
I know some people are saying why not just make a .lnk file for the shutdown command and then use that whenever you want to shutdown. Its just that I would like to have everything in 1 nice little working app.
So basically I am starting this thread in an attempt to see if anyone would be willing to use the command line that _DrG_ provided to make a "knock off" of psShutXP that can actually shut your phone completely OFF.
So if anyone would be able to do this that would be awesome! I would be very appreciative and I'm sure a lot of other people would be too.
Thanks
I can put it on my todo list. Might take a week or two...
How much like the original do you want it?
Just the Dialog for shutdown? Or all the other stuff as well?
Ta
Dave
First of all, Thanks for responding!
But yeah, take as long as you need, no rush at all. I mean u don't even have to be doing this so I am grateful!
And yes I would like it to have pretty much everything like psShutXP.
Sleep-like if you were to just push the power button
Turn Off-turn phone completely off like if you held down power button for 5 seconds, which is what this command does (31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe", "PowerOff")
Reset-soft reset phone
Timer-for if u want to schedule a soft reset or turn phone completely off. I dont know if its too demanding, but would it be possible to make the timer so that
1.you can either set it for a countdown of X number of seconds that the user defines
2.have the option to enter a time of day that it will execute the restart/shutdown, which you can choose to happen to be a one time thing or a recurring. And if you choose recurring you will be given the option of making it Daily/Weekly/Monthly
If the whole timer thing is too much I totally understand, beggars cant be choosers, right. So i would be more than happy with just the Sleep/Shutdown/Restart buttons.
Thanks again for attempting to do this. I hope you are able to get it done.
Many thanks!
Kewl.
A Timer maybe for V2 then.
There will have to be some differences, because psShutXP is copyrighted work. I'll try and make a "lightweight Open Source (read only to start) alternative that has support for powering off the Kaiser".

Hey Dave! Here is the artwork! I changed it up a little bit to make it look a little more classy. Its in the form of a Photoshop CS3 file, I hope that is alright.
My idea was to not have the whole silver button be what you would tap, but rather just the actual button on the side. Look at pic 1 for reference.
Artwork
Heres the original artwork in case my new design just totally screwed up what you have made so far.
In case anyone else is curious about what this app might look like. Here are some screenshots.

Thanks. My art and design skills are lacking so this is appreciated.
I'm at home today so I will see if I can get on my PC later and knock up a quick demo.
Dave
Geez your fast! hahaha.
Sounds good!
This app looks like it'll be very usefull. please dave keep us updated on your progress
Hi,
Here's my alpha release.
I'll make a new thread and do a beta next release.
Still todo for next release:
*App Icon
*Hotspots (I still need to get my head around the code behind this).
*Fix up Graphics, a few Images move when pressed.
*Fix app loadtime (if possible).
EDIT:
*Alpha Blending and a background

Aesome man! It works good! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I really appreciate it. I'm sure others are going to enjoy it too.
This app can only get better, that is if you decide to make changes, even though I am completely happy with it as is. Although the timer function would be a cool addition to see in the future
Finally a program that will shut your phone "COMPLETELY" off!
Goodbye psShutXP......HELLO XDA SHUTDOWN!
Installed and assigned to one button, seems to work quite well
Sometimes the most simple things are the most usefull
Thanks for you Application, quite nice
Thanks for the support guys.
@asofiker,
any chance you could make a pressed X button for me? I like the idea of it animating as it is pressed.

Hi guys,
I'm actually over at the Elf forum, but I acquired a psShutXP from someone which has the Full Shutdown capability. The only problem is that the Hard Reset and Timer menus are all in Chinese ;-)
Anyways, I'm attaching it for your curiosity.
But I think Dave's app is much sharper and also in English, so it's better LOL
Good work!
EDIT: Regarding your program:
- The "sleep" function sometimes doesn't work if launched from Manila2D's Program tab. It just closes the app but does not put the device into Sleep.
- Also, the sleep function turns off the music in Audio Manager, unlike psShutXP. Probably should look at how they do it in psShutXP.
- Program also takes a few seconds to start up, maybe the graphics need to be scaled down a bit?
Otherwise, good job!
In case you're interested, here's your file along with an XP-style shutdown icon on it (there was no icon in the Alpha).

Hi all,
I saw the winmo 7 video other day in youtube. It looks great but it was like a dejavu for me. I have sony erricsson Xperia X1, in that we have a panel called Media experience, it is more or less the same as new winmo interface. (for those who haven't seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEQt8tGUuYg )
The only differences are that instead of txt showing you where you are (each time you get in a folder the name of the txt goes on top, that way you know where you are) in Media experience it shows you an icon

notice the icon on the right ( music icon) indicates that you are in music player. Oh yeah and unlike winmo7 it is in the left side. The thing that this is missing is the clock on the background (i photoshoped it) and the weather widget.
HTC UI is great but it also slows down the phone, that's why I prefer titanium. I was wondering if somebody could figure out a way to put a clock and weather widget with it. Some other pics,
That theme concept looks gorgeous. It's a brilliantly huge improvement over the default Titanium. However, it reminds me of the SE media manager. But nevermind that.
The clock on the top right corner looks ugly - it's doesn't blend well within the theme. I suggest that a plain text clock in the background should be implemented to give the theme a minimalistic and elegant look. I've worked up on the image to show you what I mean.
The menus should also have some transparency so the background and the clock are visible.
i think it's better the clock on the background but the icon only the bigger at the center end take away the little one at the left!
d3thstalker your picture looks exactly what I was thinking. I did a quick paintbrush work so it looks awefool. But yeah this is what I was talking about, how though
It would be really awesome if someone could develop this for us. I have no background in developing anything or whatsoever. However, I'd like to extend my help to wherever I can.
EDIT: Perhaps if someone could post links to guides or tutorials on editing the Titanium menu, I can try something.
Yes found it,

It doesn't look that difficult, it's worth a try. But you are reminded again that I have no background in these things or whatsoever, so don't get your hopes too high, I might simply dump the project if I can't do it.
I'm handling some workload from my office atm, I'll begin immediately after that. I'll flash my phone to WM6.5.3 today, however, to take a look at how this whole thing works. On second thought, it would be better if someone could pass me the following files from the WINDOWS directory on their phone - bronzeres.dll, CHome_listback.png (hidden file) and Titanium_240x320.cpr

Ok I just sent it to you. I looked at the tutorial too, when I opened the bronzess.dll in PE explorer I see lots of icons, starting with the number of 2000 to 4000. I can guess how to change the icons, but I dont understand how can I change the system of how icons are being shown. I mean in "Media Experience Panel" when you tap on something it goes to the left side. How do make that happen? Anyway I dont know anything about programming.
Hope somebody comes up with a solution.
I understand the link between the registery, the bronzeres.dll and the way the icon are displayed. However, I still don't understand how to shift the icons to the left side. I think that has something to do with Titanium_240x320.cpr.
I don't think that it's possible to make the icons shift to the left upon clicking them because I have never seen that in a theme. I think that would require the Titanium code to be re-written or something, which is beyond me.
EDIT: This modding of titanium is too hard for me, I don't understand several aspects of it. I am letting go of it here.
Ok I think I figured it out. Its not Titanium that can do this stuff. It is actually this
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/devworld/technology/windows-mobile/xperia-x1?cc=gb&lc=en
which probably can do this. Hmmmm............ I guess I have to do this all by myself
any update on this wonderful looking theme ?
