Enjoy!
Very nice and informative.
Also, cool tip with the parentheses.
I'm an experienced Tasker user, but I have to admit, conditions priorities still confuse me a bit.
Until I figured this out, I was in the same position as you. Thank you for reading and the kind words!

Hi all,
I just wanted to know if there is an application (preferably freeware but not essential), that will block SMS's from certain numbers.
I honestly do not have the time to search the forums for this, so if someone is prepared to help, I thank you immensely in advance.

You can try these programs:

Soooo what your saying is that you have time to type out this topic and start a new thread, but you don't have time to hit
search at the top right
type in "block sms messages"
and then click, what would have been the first link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-360379.html
sounds less time consuming then making a thread
use the above links to use programs to configure whitelists and blacklists. i never could get those programs to work on stock or custom rom so good luck!
Thank you all so much for your input I have gone with Call Firewall for now.
Hi everybody,
I wanted to learn some (basic) programming in VC# and the .Net Framework. So i looked for an idea. After a short time i had this idea, to create a program, in which you can keep track of your Fuel consumption of your car. (i think it is kind of useful, because the prices are changing every day).
I thought i'd share it here.. maybe someone is looking for a piece of software like this.. if not, just ignore it
you can test it, use it etc (whatever you want)..
Currently, there are two languages: German and English, but i dont love my English translation...
News:
v0.1.1 is now online:
I fixed the bug but another problem appeared: people who upgrade to the new version will lose all their data stored in data.xml with the uninstaller...
So i decided to create a simple Backup-Restore Function. Now, with the new version, you can Backup your Data before Upgrading and after that, you can restore it... If you use the Backup - the files will remain in your memory, until you delete them..
This is not the best way to solve the problem, because these files will stay on Memory even if the user uninstalls the program...
I read, that there is a way to costumize the setup process with a custom "Setup.dll" but i could not figure out how this works.. if anyone knows how to do this, please PM me..
Changelog:
v0.1.1 - 10/20/2008
fixed: storing units did not work
added: simple backup-function
added: simple restore-function
v0.1 - 10/19/2008
inital release
Beware: I will not guarantee for damage on your devices
If you have Bugs, ideas for new features or other feedback - let me know ..
This is a cool little program, would help a lot of people who have to teavel to work, etc..
I wish i had this when i was having some mileage problems with my car.
FuelCal
It looks good. I will give it a try.
Don't worry about your English, you can program!!!
Have a great day.

Now for some more fun programming.
The store function is not storing the updated info.
It would be very useful for me if it would also calculate Mile/Gallon
Thanks.
Glenn
thanks for the feedback...
well i did not test the "Store" Feature for the Units ... bad in this case...
is will release a fixed version soon, stay tuned...
have a nice day
Just what i was looking for.
Thank you very much.
A bug
Hi. Excellent idea. You should check that on "Evaluation" the "price per Km" should be divided by 100 because it is done in cents but the unit says, when you change it, $/Km and not $cents/Km
Thanks.
Suggestion
Nice idea g3eB4Y. I will try the app.
This is something that could grow into a larger application if you want to track vehicle maintenance too. Also, I think that it would be helpful if you could simply enter the odometer reading and fuel quantity and allow the program to calculate distance.
First of all, thank you for your feedback...

I think there is nothing really wrong with the calculation.
When you change something on the settings page, you will only change the mask, but it will not affect the calculation..
The first Textbox under "Currency" will change the display for the "big-currency-unit" (€,$...) and the other textbox will change the "small-currency-unit" ($Cent, €Cent.. )
I can include a feature, that you really can change the calculation and display mode (€/km, €Cent/km, €Cent/20km ...) but at this moment, it does not

i have some idea for new features, i will try do implement them in one of the next versions, stay tuned...
its great to see, that somebody uses it... thank you!
g3eB4Y,
Very nice app you have. I've been using a excel spreadsheet to do this and now, I'm moving over to your app.
I wonder if you could add in another method of calculating the fuel consumption.
Distance travelled / No. of Litres = km/litre
Hope you can add that in to your next update.
Thanks once again.
PS:
No big deal but if you could name your cab file with the version number, it would be great!
Hello All,
I have two small App Idea's that I want to implement on the Windows Phone 8 platform. The problem is I'm a little unsure where to start for resources.
The issue however is that for all the Dev resources MS has given us, they mostly start at weird points and has no or little impact on where I want to, or figured one should start. So stuff like, setting up a DB, or Using an Azure Server etc.
If not that, most other help I've found have been off point starting as well. XDA's own vids start off with OAuth etc, which are all great, but I'm not even near there yet for what I want to do.
Most other guides, like even MS's own recent JumpStart videos all hop and skip over certain things. So you're following along (Or I'm trying to) and they jump forward, skip tasks and pull out pre-done code so I assume I need different foundation before I can jump in at their stage.
So, I have my idea of what I want to do, buttons, calculator, lists. But I don't know how to start from some basic things. And I am a little reluctant to jump in to what they have for WP7 cuz I don't want to use anything that's been deprecated.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Check out LinkedIn. I started a group a long time ago for Windows Phone developers and enthusiasts. It's filled with programmers, Microsoft people, and there's lots of good references and people to ask.

Thanks for the reply, any specific link to this LinkedIn... I gotta admit, I never thought of LinkedIn as a place for help in this kind of thing...
As an update though, I already have started on the app I had in mind and now have some specific "How-do-I" questions, but undure where to post these. Thanks again however.
Here's the group. There are some pretty active members who are programmers.

As weird as it may sound: I would suggest you get a beginners book on programming C# on the Desktop. That way you should learn to program from the ground up and get a solid foundation on how the language works (classes, properties, attributes, events, etc.)
Everything else later on is different libraries you will use. That is what most of the introductory videos are about. They show you which classes you use for certain functionality, how you properly wire everything up so it works together.
When you have the basics of how C# works (and most current programming languages like Java but also Objective-C or C++ share the same concepts although there are differences) the best way would be to start with a small project and ask questions when you get stuck or first have a look at StackOverflow if the same question has already been asked and answered.
Teaching someone how to program from the ground up in a forum only rarely works in my experience. But the previous poster might have had different experiences.
I use watchmaker and love it. One issue I am having is certain faces have color settings (color for the hands, color for the text, color for the markets, etc). It seems that after setting the colors just the way I like it, within a few hours the colors reset to the default settings.
Does anybody else have this issue and does anybody know how to get the colors to stick?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.
It depend on how that specific watchface is being build. You better start building your own face, with the desired colours and that will not reset itself .

Not really helpful in answering my question, ro_explorer. I know building my own would allow the watchface to be styled more to my personal tastes without requiring my question be answered, but I do like faces others have created with their personal scripting and sometimes these faces are locked and I do not have the time to recreate them. As such I'm asking a specific question about watchmaker and how it operates. I would ask that you please do not act condescending and pedantic in answering a specific question about a specific program in the future.
Sincerely,
B.D.

I had the same issue with one watch face I have been using. I ended up solving it when I found a file that configures the defaults for the watch face. I edited the file and changed the variables for the colors and other settings to the way I wanted them to be so when it resets, it goes back to how I want it.
I assume that you could maybe do something similar. On my phone the location of the file was:
/sdcard/BeautifulWatches/scripts
It was just a matter of opening the text file and then changing the values for the variables. Then going on the watch and removing the watch face and resending it to the watch from watchmaker on my phone.
Nx248, thank you. I will explorer the scripts used to try to track down the colors I want. This is helpful. Wish the watch/program would remember the colors though and save me the time in tracking down the script implementation.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
B.D.

Please don't be an ass. My advice was a real one and I'm sticking to it. If you want to have something that suits your specific needs, with the specific look, the ONLY WAY to achieve it is to build it yourself. Do not expect others to deliver the perfection for you.

And I'm convinced 100% that you sent that wish to the developer as well ...
If you really want to find out more about the inner workings of a certain software/platform, or to add useful things to it, the easiest way is to contact the developer.
My recommendation is to stop complaining and actually do something to fix your issue. Do not bash on the ones who are trying to share with you their ideas.
ro_explorer,
If there were an option you would like to see on your car would you build a car yourself, or reach out to see if anybody else had implemented the solution. Your responses ARE condescending and rude in the way you come across expecting people to have infinite time to do this. Maybe you have the time to explorer building this yourself but I have other more important things to do which is why I posed the original question.
To quote you, 'don't be an ass. '
I have found a number of people who have offered useful help on these forums and still contend your 'advice' does not address the original question. I would contend that you need to read the questions people post and not write out an answer just to up your post count or 'prove' what a smart ass you can be.
This is the last post I will make on this subject.
B.D.

I'm an engineer and a tinkerer .... I'm ALWAYS implementing my own solutions in ALL technical fields that I understand. I also help others and try to put seeds of creation in everyone else ....
If I ever had to ask for stuff I always asked the producer.
I hope this is answering your concerns.
Other than this I'm really sorry you are sensitive to a level to consider my comments as rude ...
Good luck in your endeavour ... If I can help you again, I will ...

Hi nx248,
I tried changing the script on the phone and resending the watchface to the watch but found that since the script had already been transferred to the watch previously I had to edit the script on the watch.
I accomplished this by adb into the watch and pulling the script to my computer, editing it, and then pushing the script back on the watch to the /sdcard/BeautifulWatches/scripts directory. Alternatively, I think I could have pulled the script from my phone, edited it, and pushed it to the same location.
In any case, I edited the watchface variables so that the default position in the array corresponded to the colors I wanted, which is working.
Thanks for your help. :good:
EDIT: Just saw that you had stated I should delete the watchface from the watch. I don't know how to do this, so I will have to educate myself.
I read the Watchmaker forum and found that if you enter the "change faces" screen on the watch under Watchmaker (usually press at one of the main watch positions - default to 3 o'clock, but can be set to 6,9,12 o'clock) and swipe up on the face you wish to remove, it is removed from the watch.
Cheers,
B.D.
Hi all,
So at work we have a walkie talkie radio system that people use. Sometimes people have it turned down or off when someone is calling them.
I usually send them a text telling them they are being called on the radio.
So can a task be made with a widget that when I select it, then it will first it give me a dropdown list of people on my contact list. After I choose a person have another drop down list. When I select those two people, tasker would send a text to the contact from my first dropdown box saying "(second name) is trying to call you on the radio!"
I hope I made myself clear.
Thanks in advance.
Look into AutoContacts plugin for Tasker. It will help you. In addition, Tasker has a "Send SMS" action and supports variables.
I don't think you'll find anyone who will just have this sort of thing already made and ready to go for you. You'll likely need to create this from scratch and push through the bugs as you test it. Think it through on pen and paper if you are having difficulties.
People are here on forums to help out with specific functions of Tasker... Most people don't fill whole profile/task requests here.
Thank you for the reply! I'll look into AutoContacts and give it a shot.

As an added request, I'll narrow it down. Does tasker allow for input to be selected from a list?

Perhaps a scene would be best used for this if it is a small set of static individuals to choose from. Snackbar plugin or Material Design Plugin can be used in the place of scenes many times.
