note0: Obtaind before CompuServe gave us their GUI and from which the OSI deployed www then win95 came with Explorer-IE-Explorer GUI
Test 4 every WinOS: goto my Computer cq Explorer (not IE) and remove c:\* (current drive path) and replace it with a known url Guess what? ... Bwhahahaa; internet access for Win7 Barebone Edition! And *oops* on most if not all WinOS..
-- Of course it is best to log in with a Guest account (created by you the Admin) with limited internet access to only download a nice browser like Opera or Firefox, while using this dangerous 'tweak'. *cough* Plus it comes in handy when IE broke down during an live update and refuses to work. But,.. it's not my recommendation for obvious reasons!
note1: Used since/on win95 ~ABC, Win98 ~SE and WinXP flawlessly!
note1b: not tested; Vista / Windows7 (please let me know so I can include it in this post after an edit TIA).
note2: A tool from my kitchen. Now a share here on forum.XDA-developers.com Please distribute, as its been freeware from day one. Though I never shared it B4
note3: HandleSpy is nice to use in combination with (tools more powerfull than) ResHacker.
note4: It has no network awareness and no polymorphic AI eighter Its WYSIWYG though.
Have fun,
Senax

Where is the installer?

It went into the void of C/P darkness and was temporarily lost, luckily it's beacon was working so I could retrieve it with a tractor beam. Attached now

[Q] New Folder?

Hi,
Is it possible to make a "New Folder" in WP7? Just for example: to put all games in a one folder?

Not at the moment.

App Folders to WP7? Not any time soon.

"We've been tipped off about an interesting bit of polling going on at the monsmartphone.net (they're a lot like us, but French!) regarding something that all Windows users are all too familiar with. Folders!
The question raised, "Would you like to be able to categorize your applications?", has caught some attention from their more organized readers. Users who've downloaded a lot of Apps were quick to remark that they don't like having to scroll so much to find the ones at the bottom of the pile.
Pinning the most frequently used apps to the Start Menu solves the problem easily but not at all if you're the kind of person to keep a lot of frequent contacts up there. Even more so if you're the type to collect applications - the Markteplace reached 7,000 apps not too long ago and like we said, there's no end in sight. The reasoning is there for some users, certainly. Other users, like myself, don't see the need. Not yet anyway.
Monsmartphone.net's writer, Detsch, had apparently submitted this quandary to Microsoft and from what we've gathered from throwing their site through the make-it-english machine (No, not just google translate! I made a real-live French person read it to me in English!) was that Microsoft does not currently think that this functionality is a priority in the evolution of their OS.
Read more after the break.
Whether or not there was actual scientific research done to back it up or if any charts were involved is unclear but they claim that they average number of apps used by the average user just doesn't require such a poll-worthy, why-don't-we-have-this, functionality. Interesting tidbits from the commentors brought up the option of it. Reminds us a little of Microsoft's position on screen captures.
If folders were eventually included in an update they would prefer it as an option - not a mandate that they had to follow through with. Some presumptions also include folder use for contacts following the lines of Work contacts, Pals, Bowling Team, and things like that. This followed suit with sms and the Games Hub as well with sorted genres.
The most interesting concept of note was not if people would like folders or not but the ability to categorize their apps. Meaning, apps could be categorized and sorted but not necessarily by using folders.
What if they were sorted into specific hubs that opened an additional app listing? That piqued my interest and got me thinking of a better question. If we had the ability to sort or categorize or filter our apps - how would you like it done and how would it work with the Metro UI?"

[C#/VB] System.Windows.Forms extensions for updating properties from other threads.

As developers, we all hate how our code looks like when using multi-threading, and usually, it's a real pain managing all the invoke methods. Even using anonymous methods, it never seemed to be the best way for me.
So, I decided creating a library, that manages everything for you. It checks if InvokeRequired, and if it is, it invokes itself automatically without writing a line of code.
I know, you'll say, we can write a method like this one for ourselves whenever we need it. Just carry on reading to see what's special in this one.
I've written it dynamically, taking in consideration the performance of the code. And it turned out pretty great, as fast as if you had written your own methods, but with cleaner coding.
The library adds an extension called SetProperty() to each control in System.Windows.Forms namespace.
Let's say we have a TextBox called txt, and we want to edit the property txt.Text in it to "Hello!", a normal invoke method would look like this:
Code:
private void UpdateText(){
if(txt.InvokeRequired){
txt.Invoke(delegate{UpdateText();});
}else{
txt.Text = "Hello!";
}
}
Referencing my library, you'll only need to write this:
Code:
txt.SetProperty(TextBoxProperties.Text, "Hello!");
Sounds pretty easy, doesn't it?
This works, for every single control out there. Even if you created a custom one, it will work for you.
A list of the properties of each control is shown as an enumeration with all the details you may need to know in its summary:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A screenshot showing how the code looks like:
This will definitely avoid any issues you may have with cross thread exceptions, and even represent your code in a real neat way.
You can download it from here.
Please keep both DLL and XML files in the same directory after extracting.
Everything's set, you just have to Add reference to the library to your application, and enjoy!
Just use anyControl.SetProperty() method on the go.
I'll release a documentation later, but any feedback for the moment would be appreciated!
Thank you

[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.

e-Cigarette Mod with a touch screen and music capabilities - firmware upgradeable

Hey there guys, I'm writing in the off topic section about this e-cigarette I've just got, it's called Joyetech Ocular C and it comes with a color touch screen , music player and photo viewer capabilities , bluetooth conectivity, a pedometer to count your steps and from what I understand, it has around 2Gb of memory , it is firmware upgradeable and I'm wondering if there is more that can be done to it in therms of functionality.
It's true that vapers, the people who smoke e-cigarettes as their called, dont really need any of this functionality in their devices since they mainly use them purely for smoking, it's nice however to have something a little extra to go with it.
I've looked online for custom firmwares or methods to customise your firmware for these type of devices, but i've only found info on old devices that come with small monochrome screens and the most you can do is upload logos on to the device.
My interests are on how you can access the root of the system built into these devices since it must have a processor and a file sistem inside, how to edit some of these files , per example, you have the option to upload around 100 pictures and some songs ( the memory on it is 2GB ) but there's no way of deleting them once uploaded, in case your storage gets full.
Also it would be nice if users could implement or extent more functionality in the device, par example it only suports .jpeg files in the photo viewer , .png &/or .gif to use as a screen saver would be nice, more so even video playback capability .
And before I get laffed at for asking so much out of an electronic cigarette, I think that since it does come from the factory with all these functionalities and hardware, it's a shame they dont use it to it's fullest.
So is there anyone having any clues on how to "get inside" these devices and tuning them up ?
I've included the latest firmware I could find for the device as well as the program they offer for you to upload it onto the device. If anybody could crack it opn and take a look inside and see at least what's in there, that would be a start.
