Home screen plugins ("CommCEntric" & "Retro") - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi
I would like to bring your attention to 2 free homescreen plugins i've made.
The first is CommCEntric - it places 2 icons on the home screen to quickly switch on & off the bluetooth and wifi radios.
You may already know of its existence, but I thought to further advertise it
The other one is Retro - it's like an all-new version of RJTime, it's a totally customizable analog clock, and it's a new release (first released a few days ago)
These plugins were also made with "eye-candiness" in mind... because i feel like WM5 and 6 has a lot to do yet in this aspect.
Please see my page at http://web.gemini.dynalias.net/default.asp?c=index_ek.xml

looks good
Can you make this so it works with pocket pcs? I have a att8525 and would like to use this but I can't this is for smartphone only.

I don't plan converting it to PPC ... I can give the source code to someone that would do, though

Hello there mate,
I have tried the mod on my HTC P3600, the graphics look great but it requires you to install some wisbar software and another today plugin. I have spent a lot of money looking for the perfect today screen program and theme maker but to be honest, I do not like the wisbar stuff as it uses a lot of memory to run. Anyway, I digress, here is a link to a zip file containing what you're after, I hope you like it. I'm using SPB mobile shell and I love it now.

dude...thats button flo.. and button flo sucks
I got touchflo working last week on my 8525. It's a bit unreliable though - only works sometimes. If it were more reliable I would use it all the time.
I hope that more people are focusing energy on making touch-friendly interfaces for PPC.
Does anyone know of any other freeware touch-friendly interfaces out there being worked on?
FTouchSL
Used to be FTouchflo. Might be worth a shot.
Could you upload more touchflo editions for us to download? We will be grateful.
losant, ftouchflo went commercial. If you want an updated version you gotta PAY for it...

Enabling full WM the REALLY EASY SHIFTpack way

Check it out (with video):
http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/266537/View-Topic/
Thanks to those who made this possible (primarily by providing USBTool, which I have actually edited to fix the typos)
P
Excellent job!
Yes indeed great job! With this video every newbie can do it
That's the hope
P
Just great!!! Thanks a lot!
BTW: Do you think that I might face problems installing it on a (future) German version of the Shift?
No, you should have no problems.
P
What use is the phone pad cab file?
Inputting text in an easy predictive manner without sliding out the keyboard.
More SHIFTpacks to follow.
P
Can you upload your fixed usbtool.exe? I'm happy with my setup now but would like to lose the typo!
Edit - Don't worry, just decompiled it and did it myself...
This is really, really great! I am not that experienced, but now I am confident enough to do the things that have to be done.
But I am still waiting for my device.
Thanks a lot!
Settembrini
Pantaloonie,
Would you be so kind to upload your recompiled version of USBTools.exe without the typo pls. Thx.

You can buy the Shift at Coolblue (umpcshop.be). They have a shop in Antwerp where you can play with the Shift before you buy it. They have them on stock right now (see their website).

First off, THANK YOU PAUL and EVERYONE who helped make this possible!!!
secondly i noticed after doing this hack that you can actually click on the phone icon and do everything except actually make a call. Do you guys think we can replace a file to enable the calling or we have to wait until we can actually make a custom ROM?
Thanks again and keep up the GOOD WORK!!
Which phone icon are you referring to?

Fish in Water Application for Touch Diamond

Hi,
A friend with an iphone showed me an application that got me well impressed..
The applications shows several different types of fish swimming in the water..
Taping the screen was like dipping your finger in water and shaking it..... quality sound and picture... this also made the fish scamper...
Is there a similar application for the HTC diamond? i know its totally useless but would be an awesome show-off application..
beany
That would be a very cool app.
An aquarium to "carry away" ;D
Thats already discussed under G-Sensor applications.. If someone could make something like it.. it would be cool
i remember seeing the sony xpedia demo... has a similar app...
when it launches hopefully someone can export the cab
This is what i so on the iphone:
http://www.palluxo.com/2008/08/25/koi-pond-app-virtual-fish-pond-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch/
Developers, we need you to make this??

i'ts actually an X1 home screen not just an app. The fish not only follow your touch on the screen, but also alert to notifications such as missed call's etc (if i remember correctly the fish changes colour to show missed calls / bluetooth on etc - but don't hold me to this)
Can developers actually create this for the HTC DIamond?

Of course they can! But they dont have this much time to play with useless applications guaranteed
But I still hope someone will make it :-9
This may be usefull when the diamond is in the craddle i think !
it just looks really good on the iphone....
i don't remember where from in the forum but i downloaded a very similar app.
i uploaded it for you or anybody else interested. this is not my application and i am sorry i can not remember who's, but here you have it
http://rapidshare.com/files/146610608/Flash_Ripple_Fish.zip
yeah, thats the one...
it needs improving though... but the foundations ARE there....
can a developer improve the interface, graphics, sound ETC ETC ...
can the app on the IPHONE work on the HTC?

Stock quotes

Hi,
On my sons Iphone, he gets stock quotes with a push on an icon...
Can this be done with a Diamond?
Something like this maybe? I'm working on it.
Pefect!!! that's it.... When??
JP
I'm not sure yet. I just started playing around with it a few days ago in my spare time. I'll probably post a beta within a couple weeks, or maybe tomorrow, who knows.

WOW...this may save me another grand (by not getting the HD) if you can get that running. I like the appearance and format, as well as the research options.
I WILL DEFINATELY DONATE TO YOU AT THE TIME I DOWNLOAD! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON OF THE DAY...CONGRATS!
...in the meantime you could look at Stock Manager. Works well on my Diamond.

Right now, just using http://wireless.etrade.com. Not as fast, and interested in getting it into a tab in TF3D (see there is manila files from the HD already on this site, so may get my wish). I like the format of this one much better, so may run both (depending on final product, and visibility of all the markets).
THANKS AGAIN!
this looks really awesome!! looking forward to your app!
please hurry, can't wait any longer...

Hi guys,
i was searching for the same thing and now i use Equity Expert. It works fine and looks ok.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-equityxpert.html
I'll leave this thread for posting links to the existing apps out there. For those interested in an "XDA-grown" solution, see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441204
I changed the colors from the original design, and posted a working proof of concept, which will soon be the full blown thing. Screenshot below.
that all looks so cute!!! i really can't wait
You guys looking for a Stock app, should relax and lay back and let the Masters/geniuses of XDA Developing, eventually port Black Stone ROM to Diamond.
Then we shall have the cool stock TF3D app.
Dont get me wrong Member GeckoDev, looks like your app is gonna kick assss
Thanks.

I'm all good with competition. I was really just doing it for myself, but I saw a few threads like this one and thought others might enjoy it too. If you like it, help me make it better. If you like something else, that's cool too, post a link for others.

This matches my theme much better, so you are my favorite person today as well. I will run both yours, and the TF3D tab from the HD. I like your format much better. The HD tab will give me quick glance, but your tab will help me make decisions wirelessly before I buy/sell on my E*Trade account.
Fantastic job!
I was the one who initially posted the question about the stock quotes program...
So I am very pleased with the great work there has been done..
Alas, I can not install it because my diamond refuses to install Net CF 3.5.
I get an errormessage about freeing space (lots of space left) and about a "errormessage" 2
Can somebody please help?
I got the ice of changing in the registry:
HKey_Local_Machine - Software - Microsoft - .NETCompactFramework
click on 2.0.7045.00 - 1 to 0
click on 3.5.7283.00 - 0 to 1
3.5.7283.00 isn't even in mmy registery....
Thanks
I agree the Equity Expert is very nice VGA stock quotes applications and its also ready to work with the Touch HD, Omnia and Xperia devices !
