Hi everyone,
I wrote yet another simple file manager for the Android platform, called Ghost Commander.
Why I did it? Because it only features two panels, like famous (Norton|Midnight|Total) Commander and you can easy copy/move files between the panels by a single key press (instead of that boring cut/copy/paste operations). It also can create and delete folders, edit small text files.
For the advanced users, this file manager has also the "root:" (su - super
user) mode to work with system files on a rooted phone, change file permissions
attributes (chmod) and even execute your own shell commands. Plus, the "mount:"
mode to browse and remount the file system partitions.
Aside the file system on the sdcard, the file manager can also upload or
download files from remote locations such as FTP servers, Windows (aka Samba)
network shares (plug-in required), create or extract ZIP archives.
Here is the link for download.
Ill check it out! Sounds interesting...thanks!

Your app is very good! Nice and simple, but it doesnt show anything under /cache or /data /or /system/sd/...it could really use that function, other than that its pretty good, no FC's, not really laggy, Nice work! Make it truly show ALL contents and itll be great! Thanks!

Thank you for the review.
I don't know why it does not show the content in some system folders. It just got nothing when it asks the list of the files for that directories. May be it's some java security limitations. I tried other file managers, they don't show that as well. I'll try to as a question on an xda forum.
Did you expirience any troubles with the track ball? The application should switch panels on the left movement, did that bring any trouble?
Can you post some screenshots?

The only file manager i know that shows the contents of those folders is SUFBS. It has a file browser, terminal, shared network viewer...its pretty good...i guess i hadnt thought about that being basically the only one that DOES show those directories...guess i got spoiled....lol

I tried to access to the "/cache" folder with a terminal emulator (ConnectBot) and got "Permission denied". But as root the folder reads fine.
So, it seems need to figure out how to run a java app as root (if possible).
Thank you for the screenshots. I've learnt I shouldn't mix system provided icons and application's in one menu.
That SUFBS seems very powerful. Will try it later if I'd find where to download it from.

Its on the market, Its not called SUFBS anymore, it was changed to "SuperUser File Manager & Terminal" or something, if you search market for "superuser" it will come up, its about $2 or $3 USD, i forget, but well worth it for the functionality. Maybe you might contact the developer and see if they would help you with figuring out how to show root directories, since they already know...

I've decided not to overload the screen with additional components to be able to select an item by a single tap.
So, now it behaves this way:
When you click on the left part of the row the item processed, when you click on the right part, the row is selected.
Refresh after an operation was also fixed.
This is almost perfect. Isn't possible make option in settings to enable and disable file detail like (mb, time).

as of now its very similar to the standard image gallery (just the browser section has doublevision) and thats all im gona do for the browsing i just need to implement drag and drop to copy files which is probably the hard part. the cool thing is im gona have it drop onto a new activity with the drop explorer enlarged and some extra buttons like cancel and rename that it can be droped onto. since your not gona drop it in the area you picked it up from. ive never worked with drag and drop or content resolvers yet so this is gona be hard, but before this app i never worked with databases or list adapters either so...
Wow that's perfect. Now definitely missing ftp client.

There is no a ftp java library around so write a ftp client from the scratch may take some time.
BTW, the Ghost commander has internal module architecture, so, if somebody willing to implement a ftp client according the interfaces I provide, it will be very easy to plug in to the project.
Freedomcaller,
Drag'n drop is probably cool, but I rather use the keyboard to do the stuff.

i found this and i think it can be useful
Customizing the Weather Plug-in
Let's say we want to add the city of Bremen in Germany to our HTC Touch Weather Plug-in (this works for every other city as well that can be found at AccuWeather.Com).
• Look up the City of your Choice
Go to http://www.accuweather.com/ and enter your desired city in the search field called "Local Weather Forecast", in our case: Bremen, Germany.
After you have clicked yourself to your local weather site, take a look at the browser's address bar and copy the location code from the URL.
• Edit the XML file
Now navigate to your Windows directory in the pocket pc. Find the file called "HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml" and change its properties so it can be edited (uncheck read-only tickbox).
Then, click on "File" - "Edit" and duplicate a line of XML code, preferably in the right alphabetical place. In general, such a line of code contains the following:
<city name="Cityname, COUNTRY" locationcode="LOCATIONCODE_YOU_COPIED_BEFORE"/>
So in our case we would change the entries to this:
<city name="Bremen, DE" locationcode="EUR|DE|GM005|BREMEN"/>
Save the file and reset its properties again to read-only.
this can be done on your pc too by simply sending the file in your desktop pc and do your magic there
also i have an xml ready for greek friends
with athens patra korinthos and salonika
just extract and put it in your windows folder in your pocket pc
hope it helps cause i was searching for it for a very long time
this is the file

When that's happened to me, I disconnect the data session. Once it reconnects it works just fine. You might want to try that...or a soft reset...but the data connection is faster.

Here's what to do first
Before editing the XML file. Look for your city to see if it's available on the database.
GO HERE TO SEARCH CITIES: http://www.accuweather.com/ (Use your own zipcode or city)
Then Go here: "http://htc.spamasaurus.com/parseweather.php?locCode=NAM|US|FL|WELLINGTON" and edit the LAST 3 FIELDS TO YOUR COUNTRY,STATE, AND CITY.
ex:
NAM=North America
(COUNTRY)US=United States

Be sure to change it back to read only then transfer it back into the Windows folder on your mobile device. Perform a soft reset and search for your city. Through some trial and error you should be able to have your city or one closer to you.
Ok, I almost got it, can you explain location code? I do not see the pic you mentioned in the first post. I live in US Thibodaux LA 70301. How should I type this in when I edit the file? I have the URL number, which part is the code?
Thanks

secondly i have to say that i get irritated without trying to play it smart but when it says at the first post change properties from read only i cannot understand the post about the file not being editable if on read only (7th row )
i am not american so i read english as most of you
i wouldnt say all these things but i got tired of reading threads with 2500 posts and on about 95% of those posts can be answered in the very first post
and for the friend right above me its on my rom too but

a file in ROM no matter if you uncheck read only cannot be edited, unless you can unlock the ROM for read/write which if i understand correctly has to be done before you flash the rom to the phone. There is a reason its called ROM (Read Only Memory).
is it like that?

Not knowing your setup i dont know. I do know that the file in my memory says its in the ROM and if i uncheck the read only part i cant do anything to the file as it is in the ROM, and the file cannot have the read only flag changed.
If you take a look at your own file properties and it has a little checkbox checked that says its in the ROM and you can edit it then i guess you do have a ROM that can me edited if not, well you should investigate things before you make claims like that.

Notepad for Windows Mobile - My First App!
Hello everybody,
It is really wonderful to see such a group of talented developers here. I am really amazed to see everyone's dedication. So much so that I felt like contributing. But there is a roadblock ahead of me.
I am a proficient developer. My domain is JavaScripting, PHP, ASP, C# .NET. I am very new to the world of Windows Mobile.
In fact, I found that I am wasting too much of time Googling even simplest of things! In fact, I am still stuck at how to work have transparent controls for Windows Mobile .NET Compact Framework!
What I would request is if someone could give me a headstart with links/tips upon simplest things for transition of C# Desktop development to C# Smartphone development (especially for Diamond as I own one!)
If I am reposting anything without searching or if I am repeating, kindly excuse me for this time and point me to proper threads!
Thanking you again!

I just found no good resource as to solve very specific issues like: Control's image background and transparency, etc!
I need to know few things... please help:
1. How do I create transparent controls or have background images of textboxes, labels, etc!
2. If I apply an icon to the application (in solution properties), I get a build error "CVTRES fatal error : cannot read file.", though the same icon file is loaded when I assign it to the main Form's Icon property!!

Technically the CF does not support transparent controls, but as with anything, there are some tricks to simulate it. You might try searching Google Groups in the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework group for some pointers. As for myself, although I did get some workable controls using those tips, I found it was more trouble than it was worth. "Roll your own" is my motto now. I hardly even use the standard label control anymore.
As for your icon issue, remove the 256x256 version from the ico file. That should do the trick.

Yes right!!! It was stupid of me not to have verified the icon support for this platform.
With a lot of searching, I realized packing: 64x64, 43x43, 32x32, 21x21, 16x16 in 256 colours would be the best idea.
I used IconFX... Great tool See: http://icofx.ro/

You probably don't need all of them. From what I've been able to tell, the OS only uses the 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 versions. I think I read that on MSDN somewhere, but I don't have a reference. Either way, those have worked fine for me. Remember that you need to take steps to reduce your footprint on mobile devices.

Is it so?? I mean... I read some MSDN blog that said for square devices you need 21x21 and 43x43! If you say that its pointless to include them, I will be more than happy to scrap those non-standard sizes!
From: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/03/02/320x320-revisited.aspx
Heh ... I was wondering where those weird sizes came from. OK, so if you're developing for square too, then maybe you do need them. I've only concerned myself with VGA/QVGA so far, so I probably misspoke.
As bloated as ico files are, I'm surprised they decided on two additional sizes for squares. I have an app with all kinds of cool graphics that are only 3-5 kb, but the icon with only a few sizes is 90-100kb, which is about 1/3 of the total exe size ... just for an icon!!! That might be why some apps have different installers for square screens, so the footprint for each stays lower.
Hi, i was testing ur notepad.exe on my HTC Touch found this problem the screen seen freeze at 1/3 of the file w/o wordwarp or with wordwarp same only little further. But when i scroll up to top no problem.

Hi , if you are still looking for transparent control look at this :
The ability to draw bitmaps transparently though the usage of the ImageAttributes parameter still exists in the .NET Compact Framework, but it's a little bit more work than on the desktop.
ImageAttributes imageAttr = new ImageAttributes();
// Make a transparent key
imageAttr.SetColorKey(Color.White, Color.White);
//Use the key when drawing
gxOff.DrawImage(m_bmp, imgRect, 0, 0, img.Width, img.Height,
GraphicsUnit.Pixel, imageAttr);

I have solved this issue. Now you should have no problem while changing from portrait to landscape and vice versa. Do check out and let me know. Download updated file
Regarding the other bug: I have seen this issue on many devices. In my opinion, it is a problem (limitation) of DOTNET Framework. Try upgrading to latest DOTNET CF and do the testing.
Also, if this problem persists, I presume there will be a workaround for this. But the workaround may be at the cost of loading time and memory usage. Should I proceed in that direction?
PS:
I am planning all the existing Notepad features for this application. That Includes Find and Replace and Zoom.

There's a bug however : I'm unable to externaly launch a non-known filetype with Notepad. I get : "The specified file cannot be opened. Path or format incorrect" I get the error with or without launching the file (a .ini file, just for the record) in double-quotes. However, I'm able to open the file just file from within notepad.
And do take a look at Notepad2 (Desktop). It's a great Notepad replacement but maintains the speed and style. Would be nice if you could implement some of its features like line numbers and syntax highlighting.

Hi Shamasis,
I was looking for a Windows Mobile Notepad to edit .reg and .ini files on my PDA without having to copy the files to PC and back again. Your Notepad is a very cool start but has one problem for me: it only saves in ANSI format and not in UNICODE format.
I can use your Notepad to view the files but not edit them unfortunately. The *.ini for many of my applications needs to be in UNICODE and doesn't accept ANSI after opening and saving in Notepad.
Can I make a feature request for Save As... UNICODE? Or perhaps you can automatically resave in the same format the opened file was?
Great tool Shamasis - keep up the good work!

Ok, let me be more specific. The Media Net sites and internal sites like that don't work. I assume it's a proxy setting somewhere, but I can't find the proxy settings inside of Opera.

How were you able to remove the ATT tab?
The problem with Opera and MEdia Net is that you need to go to about:config and the Opera config page will open. Next go to proxy and you will see it is now blank. You need to enter the proxy information but I do not remeber what it is but I know there was a post here that spoke about it. I too am searching for the post and if I find it I will edit this message.

I removed the tab and the att proxy, but I'm stuck with a Media Net globe on the internet tab that directs to device.home. Anybody know how to redirect this to something useful?
just a heads up; make sure you dont have that version. i recently flashed romeo's rom and thats the version on there.

if you do opera:config there are some proxy items in http and https that point to www.cingular.com (or something like that). I deleted them already so I can't tell you exactly what they are but that is the answer.
Maybe someone else can look and post it.
In "\Application Data\Manilla\" there's a file called "InternetPortal-en-US.xml"
In an application like TotalCommander, edit the properties to make it NOT Read-only, NOT System File, and then transfer it to your PC. Edit the file in notepad, replacing "http://device.home/" with whatever url you'd like and then "Media NET" with whatever text you'd like it to say. Transfer it back, and put the attributes back to what they were. See my picture below of what I've changed it to.
On that note, you should remove the cingular proxy as described before, and also under Adaptive Zoom, make sure to set the Maximum zoom to 200, minimum overview zoom to 30 minimum zoom to 100 or 80 ish. (it looks much better on a VGA (not WVGA) device).

yea, none of my att internet apps work after installing this. and when i try to use CV, it says a 3g phone is needed to use this (?)
is there anyway to uninstall this build?
I tried that. When I deselect Read only and System in TotalCommander and then press okay, the changes are not saved. If I go right back to Properties to they are still selected!

Nevermind! I tried again and found the double check mark trick! (New to TotalCommander)

you need to go to Programs -> Tools -> ProxyManager -> Enable Proxy. Try that.

Tried that, disabled it, reenabled it, soft reset, nothing
After hours and search and two customer reps in AT&T...the default values in the about:config in Opera should be:
HTTP Server: wireless.cingular.com:80
HTTPS Server: wireless.cingular.com:80
Use HTTP on
Use HTTPS on
I tried it and MEdia Net now works fine.
ok now i can go back to the att sites, thanks. but cv still says "cv is only avaliable on supported 3g phones."
anyone?
My zoom now no longer behaves like it did pre-install. When double-tapping, it zooms to a much smaller size (zooms less).
How do I get it back to the defaults? I liked them.
Also, you cannot uninstall this...

are you using a Fuze? I have the same issue on a Fuze. Before, double-tapping would zoom it quite nicely, now it doesn't and there's a zoom slider.
More importantly, now all sites are redirecting me to mobile versions of the page. What gives? I may have to hard reset my device to get to the original Opera version supplied...
Cinemo is an application for finding movie showtimes and information for your area(USA and Canada only, as far as I know). You can use either your postal code or GPS to find your location.
v0.9.5
Changes
Code:
Fixed a potential issue with automatic updates.
Allow GPS to determine location.

I have just released a new version of Cinemo. From now on Cinemo will be hosted here: http://www.danielgary.net/cinemo/
The new version is really just an interim release that enables image caching for the movie posters and allows automatic updates to Cinemo. A message box will pop up to notify you when the new version is being installed.

P.S. I know the site is ugly. I threw something up there just to host the file for now. I will get something pretty later.

Mods could you please delete the previous thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497225
When I attempted to install this to my memory card the installation would fail; however, the installation to device memory was successful. Can this only be installed to device memory?
Edit: Maybe for a future update you could query the "total $ gross" for each film on the list? Might be a cool addition.
Works well. One suggestion is to have a list of theaters that are within some range of your zip code. Many people go to neighboring zips to go to their preferred theaters.
I will be keeping an eye on this as it would be more convenient than loading up Fandango every time.
im unable to dowload via my ppc.... it just snow a bunch of code and at ppcgeeks the attatchment isnot valid
I get a "No movie times were found for your area." dialog box regardless of the zipcode I enter.
Running on a Sprint Touch Pro, WM 6.1, stock Sprint ROM.

I would imagine that you do not have a data connection open or available. Can you hit the internet with your phone? Try disconnecting it from the computer if the USB cable is connected.

I was able to hit the internet and use other data connection apps fine. I did have it connected to the PC. Disconnected, no change. Cinemo wouldn't work, other apps would.
Did a soft reset, everything works fine. I guess there must have been something that didn't take or load completely until after the soft reset.
Great app, thanks for the work!
Nice App. Since I dont have data plan I guess I will have to check it when I am near a Wifi

+1 for the gps, works like a charm! I use flixter on my ipod touch, and this works just as well for locating movies and since both are very similiar in UI, its really nice to have the familiarity from one device to the other.
Just letting everyone know I have movie synopsis working on my test build. Look for a new update to Cinemo in the next 24-48 hours. It SHOULD automatically update itself when you run it. I will post letting you know when it should be available.
thanks for this app i would love to be able to watch the trailer. maybe you could link it with the youtube app
awesome app, been following it since the first thread. the only thing missing for me would be saving favorite theaters other than that this is perfect. it's helped me out a couple times, thanks!
looks like this is going to be a great app - I am in Canada and i cant seem to enter a Canadian postcode as it caters for zip codes only! I also tried the GPS and it found no cinemas in my area and im downtown Toronto!
Potential feature add: would be great if you could add a feature to be able to enter dvd titles and get it to check the ratings on imdb and metacritic!
Hey thanks for the great app!
Is there a way to add more theaters to the list?
I have to change my area to get different theaters and i much rather just have all the theaters within the area be displayed.
Vancouver, BC, canada working decently!
I agree with some of the others. There needs to be an option for more movie theatres both when viewing the actual movie times and in the theatres tab. Also, itd be nice to check times for other days in advance. Like being able to view the times for Thursday when it is still Monday. Other than that I think it looks really good. Until theres more theatres I am stuck using Live search
every time i change the zipcode the app shuts down with an error. also, sometimes when i open the app it shuts down with an error. tried it on my sprint diamond and touch pro with same results. when it does open without errors it works great though. is there an explanation why there are errors so often? i'd say i've received an error about 40% of the time.
thanks for making this, it's a great idea and very useful. it's much easier and faster than having to open a mobile browser or some other app. keep up the development!
great idea love the concept. would you be able to make this for wqvga devices?
thanks in advance
Nice App but I have been having issues. I am using Energy ROM 3.0. I am not sure if it is because of the 3.7 .Net that he is use or some other reason but I am recieveing a message "failed: \storage card\program files\Cinemo\Cinemo.exe"
I am not sure why I have started to get this. I have more then enough room on my SD card. I have used it in the past and liked the app. Would love to have it on my cell but I am not going to change roms.
So, basically can anyone confirm issues on install? does it have to do with the 3.7 .Net that is being used?
Thanks,
SoBBie
pretty cool app.
i think it would be nice if you could enter your user account information for fandango.com or movietickets.com. that way if you see the movie you want to go see, you can just tap a "buy now" button, and you are good to go. maybe it could pull the confirmation number as well or something.

cant get it to deploy. keeps telling me the phone is locked up.
XAP Deployment (the one from M$) works aok.
EDIT: Found a way around it.
if you go into the files:
-foldersconfig_v1
-release1
-folders.xap.dynamic
you can rename 'folders.xap.dynamic' to 'folders.xap' and just deploy it the old fashioned way.

I like your idea of folder in my Omnia 7
How do you get more than one set of folders pinned to the homescreen? I cant select more than one.
Nevermind, got it now. You have to just go into the Folders app on the phone instead of redploying each folder setup.

Its actually rather easy...
After you opened folders config... Make folder and add a couple apps from the marketplace so that the menus.txt will show you the format.. Make sure to save it so that the menus.txt will be recreated.
Now open menus.txt with notepad... Move to side.
Open desired xap with winrar and look for wmappmanifest.xml, open that with notepad.
You will find the guid within the first couple of lines its actually called prodectID in the manifest file...
On the next line in the manifest file is the icon name for the app..
Back to the xap you opened in winrar.. Look for the icon in the xap named what you seen in the manifest file..Copy that to the apps folder in foldersconfig. Make sure it is sized 86x86 pixels.
Now in the menus.txt file add another line below the last app you added. Or changed one of the lines if you just added the app from the marketplace to show the menus.txt file format. Change GUID and icon path to the values you seen in the manifest file.
Save menus.txt file..
Open folderscongig.exe, double click on folder, make sure homebrew app you just set up is listed in the folder now. Hit okay, then save or deploy...
Here is the line from my menus.txt file for vNESlight as an example.
<application name="vNESlight" guid="6190740c-044c-4e5f-bed4-7b5cff306964" image="apps/tile-withBGcorrect-62x62.png" />

Homebrew Hub
Hey,
you provided some really great work and gave the phone 7 home-brew development a huge boost.
But I'd like to strongly suggest the next big thing. Here's the plan:
Due the fact that this is already a xap installer and builder, it is really easy to implement a highly requested service:
The Homebrew Hub.
So instead of deploying your xaps with various loaders and then organize them into folders, Homebrew Hub provides a much eaisier way: just select your applications, order them into folders right in the Desktop application and deploy it all together.
So deploying and organizing right together in one application.
In the end, you have all your homebrew applications decent organized in one hub.
Hope you like this recommendation,
Regards, Suicide Clown

If there's a demand for a homebrew hub, that's super easy to make.
Now from the top, hmm, my work ended up on XDA. Funny how that happens Glad you guys are figuring it out. The program was designed to try and be a little bit proofed, but it should be easy enough to take apart for developers.
To break it down, FoldersConfig basically acts as a deployment tool and as a XML/ZIP compressor. So, if you know how to set up the program, you don't even need FoldersConfig. It's just to make the process a little more friendly
Any questions, feel free to ask me. This is just a small project I did in my spare time
