PocketPC Installer Professional
We've been using PocketPC Installer for many months now, and find it's a lifesaver.
They've recently released PocketPC Installer Professional (free to all existing users?) which adds a funkier UI and Smartphone/WinCE compatibility.
It's also got a much better desktop installer interface. When our desktop-based installer files now deploy to a device, they can actually look to see which .cab files are already installed and - crucially - which version of .Net CF is already installed on the device. It'll then only copy our version of the .cab and install it if it's more up-to-date. This saves a huge amount of time when we're deploying our set of .cab/data files to numerous devices.

It also creates a PDA installer file, so for our mobile users, we can just put this installer file on a memory card and let them install everything themselves, simply by inserting the card into their device. And you have no idea how many support calls this has saved (why can't salesmen learn how to install .cab files on devices that they're meant to be demonstrating on, day after day ?!
All in all, the $75 pricetag has paid for itself many times over.

New HTC Home Icons, Clock and TSK

Hi All,
Been kinda scarce around here lately, since I was checking in today to see what's happening i thought I would share some stuff I put together. The tsk is based off a wallpaper I found at deviant art I think it was from Ken Saunders from mouserunner, The images in the icons i just picked up off the web and tweaked them to suit my needs.
I know everybody is going to manilla 2d but personally I'm going to wait till all the bugs are worked out by the genius's around here before i switch.
Enjoy

What's the name of the program that's at the very bottom of your phone. I like it. It looks like a continuation of the HTC home plugin.
Do you know if you can customize those shortcuts or anything of the sort?

its battery status (now home screen plus plus ), and yes you can pretty much do anything with it if you can set up an xml file.

can these be loaded with HHC (HTC Home Customizer)?

sure, just drop the file in the correct folders in program files, htc home customizer, and then choose whatever you would like.

OK, thanks.
btw i get an app execution error about a missing file from HHV V1.0Final so I will have to revert to 0.8 i guess

hmmm, I have v1.0 and it seems to work just fine on my device, I actually copied the files right off my phone , zipped em up and posted , let me know if there is anymore trouble.

great stuff, thanks
could you remind me of the name of the lower icon bar today plugin ?
thanks,

battery status/ homee screen plus plus, your welcome im glad you like it

use htc home customizer, I tried to upload it but somethings not working, you'll find it if you do a search.Install it then find the files folder in the program and drop the icons in the icon folder, you can then open up hhc and choose the icons. Hope that helps

Anyone try out the new Live Mesh yet? I just read about a few days back, so don't know how "new" it is, but it's still in beta.
But, after trying it, it is f'n sweet!!!
It's a web server, similar to Live Workspace, but you can upload any file you like. If you don't know what Live Workspace is, it's a web server used to exchange, edit, and upload Office documents.
With Mesh, you can upload anything you would like from your computer, then sync your device with the MOBILE APPLICATION !
You can upload from your device as well, and check them out later on your desktop. Not to mention, any files you load up from your desktop, that are synced to your device automatically get stored to your SD Card, which is kind of a downside, but it beats main memory.
Anyways, I've found it to be pretty cool, since I can quickly sync any file of my choice, from any computer, and have it on my Touch in a few seconds without cables or e-mail. All I have to do is login and upload, and I believe it's similar to Workspace in the sense you can share the "Desktop."
Check it yourself, it's of course FREE!
www.mesh.com
I have to throw in an update here! I link my Pictures folder, where photos from my camera are stored, I took two quick pics, and after just closing the camera and opening Mesh, they were starting to sync! I forgot to mention it's syncs like Windows Live, you can set manual, auto every xx minutes, or as your local folders are updated.
Needs to be running to sync, at least for the "push" type option, don't plan on trying the auto sync at all. Sits in memory @ 951kb.

It says Mobile Coming Soon. You have it working?

?Its work, already. but you need to have the sqlce 3.1 not the 2.0, or 3.0 or 3.5. specific 3.1, something almost no one have. ..
Yu can download to instal the sql 3.1, BUT change a system library just because one software.. NOOOOO

LOL!

You'll see the link to download the .cab file.

downloaded the "fixed" cab from that blog, still getting a dependency error on install.
Can't wait for this service though. Very cool.

[APP] NookCalc

NookCalc is a basic, four function calculator designed from the ground up for the Nook Simple Touch. It is optimized for the e-ink display. I wrote this app. The top right page button acts as a dedicated clear button, in addition to the on screen clear button and clear option in the menu.
Screenshot:

That looks nice, but 840 kB is way too big an .apk file for what this does.
It should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-20 kB.
You have included android.support.v4 and android.support.v7 when they are not used in the least.
You can delete those from your project.

Nice! It's good to see apps written for the nook.
The calculator looks nice and the e-ink optimization is great,
however, since I don't have anything to calculate just now I just did a bit of stress testing to find that:
a) there seems to be an int overflow on really large nubers, it either crashes or warps to negative.
b) I'm not sure what pressing '=' repeatedly is supposed to do (if anything at all) as it gives weird and inconsistent results.
c) it crashes on division by zero (I HAD to try that )
d) Also, to have a useful division function you really need to use floating point numbers.
It's a nice project, but needs some working on before being a useful calculator

Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. Renate NST I removed the android.support.v7 and it significantly reduced the size of the apk from 837KB to 60.4KB, a 776.6KB difference. I didn't see android.support.v4 in my project. I didn't add any support libraries myself, Android Studio seems to put the support library in new projects and there doesn't seem to be a way to make a new project without the support library.

What am I mucking up?
Followed Mr.iiwoodstocks guild on Reddit for the TX1254 and I don't know what im failing on....
The IMG is in the fast boot directory I've tried to rename it. Check out the screen shots I took anyone have some insight I've Google's the errors can't find a lot...
Sent from my VK410 using XDA-Developers mobile app

At the command prompt, type dir and press enter. What does the command prompt say the name of the image is?

I'll check when I get home! Haven't had a chance to take another crack at it.

A lot of users were having an issue with the "feature" of windows that hides file extensions of known file types. So when you thought your twrp image was named "twrp," it was actually named twrp.img. When you thought it was named "twrp.img," it was actually named twrp.img.img. That's why fastboot doesn't see it. Typing dir at the command prompt will show you the true name. Flash it using the true name, and you'll be golden. I also recommend turning off "hide extensions of known file types" in your folder settings to avoid problems like this in the future.

Yea I have it set up like that on my PC thats locked down But I just reformatted the laptop with 7. Trying it in an hour.

Awesome close this up using dir to figure the true name worked!

"Hide extension of known file types" is the most stupid thing Microsoft ever implemented as a default setting.
It's the reason teenage boys (and some men) clicking on "NakedCelebeiry.jpg" don't realize they are REALLY clicking on "NakedCelebeiry.jpg".EXE. Because Microsoft has hidden the file extension and the malware writers put jpg in the TITLE name to fool you. (And malware writers can also change the icon type.)
But if you can see the extension, it can't fool you. It literally is almost the first thing I do on almost any PC I use, even a friend's PC. I change that setting to see known file extensions.
