Today Plugins: which is most used?

Cause of low memory space i need to know how many users prefer a today plugin instead another.
Ps: If is Others (must have similar today functions of the softwares in the poll) , please write something about it!
Thanx for your contribute and sorry fotr my BAD english!

SkizZO: that's a very big question. What do you want your plugin to do? Many of us use many different plugins for very different reasons.

I generally use cLaunch as a launcher, or my own plugins. But if you want to read about different plugins, please have a good long read here and here.

I know I know (...i've forget claunch!!!)
You have to install ONE of this Plugins, and i want to discover which is most used by Magician users.

As a task closer, I use my VJOkButt. It's not perfect, but it works well for me. For launching, I use cLaunch. With SmallMenu as a startmenu replacement, that's pretty much everything I need.

I use PZP.

PzP Has not the function to put icons on the today screen...
however i hope spb is + used... but isn't a little heavy??
Currently i'm running Ilauncher (for icons)+ GSPocketMagic (taskManager)
(+Pocketweather+PZP+Egress+messaging)
and i would to change this "configuration"
@vijay555: i am talking of Today Plugin that put icons on the screen (and others individuals functions)

I use Resco explorer's Plug in.. I find it very nice and light... it shows battary, memory..etc, also allows you to add your own apllications shortcuts into the today screen....
very nice one indeed

You did not specify that in your original quote. You just mentioned Today plug-ins, not specifically ones that allow you to add icons.

ok you've right! but all the software in the Poll has this function.
xcuse me

Calendar+ and PPCprofilesPRO.
Regards,
Arto.

Currently ?
- JGUI Zodiac Date (jeus for the date, and it doesn't pop up anything if you accedently tap it )
- tAgenda (used to have Tasks, Inboy and CalenderPlus, tAgenda makes all three obsolete)
- Oh, and Nakka's TDLaunch, because it let's can configure Iconsize and margins !
Not really a Today Plugin, but it replaces Todays info perfectly : W-Tools ResInfo (yes, Battery stats, Storage and Mem gauge in the Tray! It even shows charging )
My taskmanager is PocketNav, and i use the camerabutton as TodayToggleOFF and the memobutton for TodayToggle (Hi Vijay ! Great tools ! Normaly i would have taken a dozen pictures of side of my pants !
Now nothing really serious happens if the buttons get pushed accedentaly!)

Wow, someone actually uses TodayToggle?!
There's a name I haven't head for a looong time
I like it, but I will really have to think of something useful to do with that app some day!
V

Well, it's usefull enough for me.
I used to have "Today" under a button, but always shutdown the PPC afterwards, so.......
And if i use TTN5, i don't want to PPC to trun of, hence....
AND i always had a problem with accendently pressing the side buttons, and now the at least don't open "Tasks" or like i said, worse; the camare and starts shooting...
Btw, i tried Hidestart, but it doesn't seem to do anyting but temp. show time and batt %....
I'm still looking for all kinds of "Thumbs only" or "Thick fingers" solutions, i use my PPC a lot 'one handed' or in the car...
Espec. setting snooze to 15 min. or so in the car is considdered 'reckless driving'

I haven't developed HideStart any futher than a very early preview a long time ago. I've got some ideas about changing the way notifications are presented, particularly in VJSihaya, but I still like the idea of HideStart.
However, I think that when you "ghost" reminders, they still try to silently activate themselves from time to time, which causes your current app to lose focus, which is irrititing if you're typing something. I thought it was a bug in my code until I realised this. However, I still use it to ghost reminders from time to time when I'm too busy to snooze them all
It's possible some code I wrote for the upcoming release of VJOkButt (used to get around incoming call notifications) might be of help here... but HideStart is not a priority right now unfortunately. I actually just developed it for my own use in a modified version so that I could switch between Start Bar, New Bar and ToggleToday. It shouldn't really have been released, but I thought the reminder remodeling code was a useful idea to demonstrate... more later, I've got work to do

So do i, if it worked If i only could find a decent prorgamming/scripting language for the PPC. Although Mortscript is pretty nice, it misses so features....
And i'm not really a programmer, more like a scripter... Maybe i should take some time to dive into VB or eVB (I can do quite nice things in Acces on the desktop !)

[new release] VJEschaton

Ok guys, I said no more releases this weekend, but oltp asked for an app to hard reset, and Bartito wanted uptime, so here we go:
VJEschaton
This program is used to soft reset, hard reset, toggle display, toggle LEDs (possibly!) and get Uptime for your PDA.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
On my website!
I think the LED code still needs tweaking, but I won't use it, so it's up to you!
V
Version 0.3 exe only. Launch the exe to find out what shortcuts/command line parameters to use.
www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjeschaton/vjeschaton.exe
EDIT: guys, an observation. Because of the way WinCE cab manager works, I can only make shortcuts with command lines if I install real .lnk shortcuts. However, this means they only work if you install to the default location. If you install elsewhere, please modify the shortcuts to reflect the new location
Version History:
v0.11 Initial release
v0.12 Minor hard reset update
v0.2 Various beta features like sleep, memory clean up
2009.03.13 v0.3 Added Blackstone poweroff and a load of other stuff

V,
Thanks man, very useful & easy handling too (again). Small addition: reset the soft-reset counter, clear cookies, clear PIE history, clear PIE cache, clear recent program list, clear all together.
This app. could really clean up a device like anyone wants to. I like to keep certain cookies, xda-dev eg, but ditch all the others. & cleaning up the cache is always useful. I noticed that Memmaid & others somehow clean to much, so I have to login again.
Anyway thanks & have a nice weekend,
M

VJ,
nice tool. Another great work.

oltp, I was thinking of clearing the startmenu, but yeah, why the hell not go all out!?
I'll try to get some new stuff added. But slowly. I'm spending this weekend fixing old programs first
V

V,
Take it easy, they were just some ideas. Not meant to be pushing you. Next time I think of something I'll wait a week before telling you . The WM OS isn't perfect & I'm still searching for the perfect add-ons, maybe a complete tabbed today-screen, instead of the small tabs from SPB plus including functions for hardwarekeys to switch tabs & tasks (but I think it exists already).
Shoot done it again ;-)
M

I hope VJSihaya will do some great things with the today screen.
However, if the research is successful, I will try to spin off some of the stuff into the normal Today screen... no promises or more detailed ideas for now :wink:
V

Do I see a sign 'Do not disturb' on your door? Yes I think I do. I'll leave you with your developments, there enough questions for a weekend work in the other VJ threads all over the board.
Cheers, M

Can u do it Vijay
Hi Vijay,
Thanks for all the Hard work done...But I request if u can do this simple request...
-U know that in our PPCs, if we have to set a Ringtone we have to either copy that file in WIndows/Rings or keep the file open in the phone..which is a memory consuming work.WHat I suggest is the Tones system followed by Symbian...in say any Nokia phone, wherein, if the supported fornats tones are in the \Sounds\Digital\ folder..the tone setter programme identifies it and these are automatically listed and can be set.
Bottom line. a Prog or Reg Hack which will allow us to set Rintone from a Folder in SD/MMC without using 3rd party softs as Photo Contacts,Ringo etc
Can this be done???

The Ring key in your registry tells you where the ringtones are stored. Just change the stringvalue directory to something else, like \Storage\Windows\Rings\
Don't forget the last \. & keep in mind that the sd-slot becomes disabled after some time & the ringtone won't be heard then. Better make them small (mp3) & store them in memory (internal storage might work too)
Cheers, M

Thanks oltp
V

I think I did not explain it properly...
What I want to say here that when a person goes to sounds and notifications...can we add an option as "Browse"..which will show all the audio files and folders and then one can select and customize...this will help newbies to easily set the tones...
I hope now I am clearer

M$ has made file explorer for this so you can use the set as ringtone option. It's two step, it's M$. Or some genius needs to build a new cpl for it, VJRings? Not sure wether PZP does this, but PPCPhone profiles does partly.
M

Probably could be done, but I don't really have the time to play with it right now. I'm bug fixing tonnes of old stuff first
V

hehe... cool stuff Vijay!
hey guys, I think, that there must be 100s of little VJs coding at ViJays place...
maybe they are 555 at least...
;o))))
buzz

Lilo & Stitch
V is more like Stitch, only experiment 555 was good enough

Something like that! Someone's been cloning me, but decided to keep the ugliest one! (there's a joke in a joke for all you bioengineers)
VJEschaton looks like it'll be a useful place to dump lots of little functions. When I get a bit more time I'll add some of the cleanup stuff Oltp suggested. For now, watching The Burbs with Tom Hanks.
You know, I actually slept and wrote code in a dream. Somehow it was for unlocking the universal. Wish I knew how the hell I wrote that. I'm starting to worry though :shock:
V
PS Buzz, yesterday I was one click away from making the "purchase" I pm'd you about. What do you think? Worth a shot?

hi ViJay,
...just checked your PM.
I think, that upgrade will not do...
anyway, you are so unbelievable productive... were you saving all that stuff over the whole previous year, and now just releasing it? ;o))))
dream about unlocking universal... right?
I was always getting such feeling, that i'll do something with the rom, ram or all those funny tweaks on hima, when I was on my way to work... and then I did.. like I knew it before, I mean...
so please keep dreaming about unlocking universal. you are on the way to do it.
buzz

That's the weird thing, unlocking isn't my area! leave that to the real brains
Don't know why I was dreaming about it. Have you seen the thread about the Uni unlocker on ebay? Suspicious.
Hmm - upgrade.. that's a shame. I think I'm going to start a "charity" campaign. So many hacks possible from there - I was thinking of another, assigning apps to the wired headset key like on the Treo... what do you think of the "campaign"?
V

hello vijay555,
i'm very agree to you for your support !!
i have tested your new release (only the uptime option)...
in my opinion, the uptime option don't work correctly...
i have sreset the device at 14:22 and at the 14:31 the uptime option shows: uptime: 0 days, o hours, 1 minute.
i have sreset the device at the 14:22, and after 1 minute i have disconnected the screen (clicking at the on/off button). in my opinion the uptime option only counts the time meanwhile the device is on.
i'm interested in count all the time intra soft-resets (if it is possible intra charges) ))
regards and thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's exactly right Bartito, uptime counts the time that the CPU has been on.
If you want to record time between soft resets, well you need an application that runs on \windows\startup, logs time to a file/registry, and then next time it loads, it compares these times.
Uptime just records the time the system is awake.

I'll test it right now, while sitting on the toilet
I was waiting so long for your app
Edit:
GREAT GAME for 0.01 Alpha

Wow, looks nice on Tytn I
Will in future come a VGA version?
nice work!
bye

It should work on VGA (with upscaling). I might do a VGA version later on (not for the buttons though) as it's all vectorial anyways. But I'd rather concentrate on a base portrait QVGA version for now, sorry :/

FANTASTIC.....
Nice job Mollusk...
You'll receive my donation very soon...
And I hope everyone here will do a donation....
Think about the time Mollusk has spent (and he's spending) to developt this fantastic app for us....
I hope people would understand what kind of job Mollusk has done......

Thanks for this! Gonna work out what to do now...
Just got one problem... If you delete the base (red) bar, you can't replace it... So everything starts falling off the screen. I know you can just restart, but I think the option to make boxes or objects similar to the red one would be beneficial.
Edit: just found out you can so now I look like an idiot

omg very nice! Thanks

You can... you change the icon in the bottom right area of the icons on the left hand side of the screen to toggle whether the objects are fixed (like the red bar at the start) or if they move.

(ignore the arrow - look at the circled icon (its actually squared but you know what i mean)). You click the circled icon to toggle fixed objects/moving objects.

Just worked that out but thanks!
Two ideas:
1) Be able to draw straight lines
2) when selecting/dragging objects the ability to select multiple objects within a rectangle or something similar...

Brilliant! Donation on the way.
Idea-wise - how about being able to zoom out and user a larger space than 320x240?
Surur

Maybe use the d-pad to move around a larger area?

It's a shame our phones don't have an accellerometer (sp?), to detect the physical orientation of the phone. But a cool feature, and purely cool, not that practical, would be to change orientation of the screen and make all the objects fall to the new center of gravity.

Not sure about how possible this would be... But is there any way to build a bunch of accelerometers into a package, attach that to the back of a device and then somehow link it up to an SD card?
An idea based on the one above would be to have a grab style option to move the whole game area around and rotate it.

MAIN
instant Gforce measure for:
Acceleration/brake (brake is negative)
left/right (left is negative)
Up/Down(up is negative)
Total (always positive)
Speed
GPS
Gps Stats
On/Off
0-...
Test your time from 0 to whatever you chose
(it uses gforce to start the timer)
MAX
Max Values (i know it needs work)
LOG
Chose what you want to log
Log Size
OPTIONS
Set update speed 50 - 1000ms
Use Km over miles per hour
Use Speed in Acc/Brake over Gforce in Main
http://rjsmsampaio.googlepages.com/grafico.jpg
You can get the gflog.txt in you main memory and open in excel
To clean the log just delete it.
X is left/right
y is acc/brake
z is up/down
t is total
Speed
Altitude
Heading
(all this are obvious)
the GFmax is store in gfmax.txt created in main memory.
How to use it correctly:
the pda must be in portrait whit the screen facing the back of the car. When you open the program it will self calibrate(this don't mean you don't need to have your acc calibrated whit other program).
It should read 0.00 whit the car stop in a level area. You can Turn or incline the PDA a little and calibrate again but it will affect the reading if too much off center.
This is the Beta version so post some feedback, im a full time teacher so updates will be constant but not every day

Great App my friend. I have tested on aircraft just when taking off and landing and it is great ! didnt use the GPS

Nice one, thanks.
Will have a try.

I've been waiting for this program since Ikari has promised to write... Thanks Ikari... will feedback...

How do you calculate "total"? Judging from the top picture Id say you use
acc + curve = total
which is wrong. Use
total = sqrt(acc^2 + curve^2) instead
Otherwise it looks very nice!

You did get your help! Wonderfull, will download it and have a drive in my car, nice !

Help needed ?
Good job ! I did send you a mail through the forum mail system to offer some help to enhance it. Did you read this ?

Hello.
Perhaps it should be usefull to offer a option to register some infos such as max acceleration.
Thank you for this app.

Any one give me tips to how make a txt file in C#?
As for the rest drive carefully

Why don't you integrate the output signal with respect to time and write also the velocity of device? By this way we can also see the current velocity or also write further 0-100km acceleration values....

But you cant just add perpendicular forces since a force is a vector. Break/acc acts straight forward (backwards is "-forward") while curve acts straight right (again, left is "-right"). Draw 2 arrows on a paper, one for acc and one for curve. Then draw the resulting vector. To find the length (in this case the magnitude, or what you call total) use the Pythagorean theorem
total = sqrt(acc^2 + curve^2)
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(spatial)#Length_of_a_vector )

That's the idea. Adding them is just incorrect. Cause velocity is a vector, it can be expressed as its moduli times a unitary vector. Taking the derivative with respect to time we will find two sources of acceleration: the one caused by change in time of the modulus (acc) and the one due to the change in direction of the unitary vector (curve). As the derivative of a vector is indeed a vector, you should calculate its modulus. Therefore the total should be what haggz said.
Your app works pretty nice despite that. I have liked it a lot. A way to fix this issue is to display both accelerations separately and then if you like to add them just like numbers at least we will be a little bit more pleased . Anyway congratulations for your great work. Keep it like that !!!

Great for science projects. Great work

I don't know how fast you can read out the sensors. But a great application would be a Time/Acceleration Diagram.
Currently we are measuring oscillations of huge masses.
Would be cool if i could monitor oscillations up to 150Hz.

Great Work!!!

....a quick Example with some text windows:

Looks very nice, but I think a GUI with high contrasts would be better to read while driving.

Unjar to my computer, transfered to my internal storage, attempted to run the program, but it didnt work. It said I needed a newer version of net or something any ideas?

Atm is 4hz but i can test the limit, also depends from the sensor itself.

download and install .NET Compact Framework 3.5 on your pda and it will work.
One more day and i will release a new version whit DB for the maximum values.
About a graphical interface im not sure how to make one cuz we have 3 axis to display plus the Total so im putting that to the side.
If any one have more ideas for this, new options, features or feedback, plz post.
My car is damage so i cant test everything correctly so make your contributing
Atm im working in a way to measure peek HP and making a time diagram that can be visualize on excel.

I read somewhere, but can't remember where, that default the accelerator readings are performed every 200 milliseconds, which would mean that you have a max of 5 Hz. It is possible to change the value in the registry by using a program that "tweaks" it, but I don't know what it would mean for the battery life.
Maybe your program could set the readings faster while it is running, but I don't have a clue how you would have to do it.
Never the less, 150 Hz might be a bit too fast for WM6.1, even with a fast processor ?

[APP] Seismo - v0.12 20/09/2008

Hi,
Here is a small application which uses the accelerometer and draws a small graph. It uses the g-sensor managed DLL from Koushilk Dutta (and you'll need the .Net Compact Framework 3.5 to run this on your Diamond)

Here is the CAB : SeismoCAB (61KB)
Edit: 20th sept. version 0.12 of my Seismosaur detector
zoom in/out with nav button (circle clockwise / counter clockwise)
close button
screen should not turn black while Seismo is running
now the scale is inverse tangent like
Have fun (though fun won't last for a long time with this )
PS: and I already know that this is silly and useless, and ugly...

nice tnx. downloading now.
(the best GODZILLA detector there is XD

Thanks in deed... I was just looking forward for this thing... Pencil is a cute user interface
Just a couple of question or feedback let's say:
-- The seismo in iphone was much more sensitive than ours... Even somebody's walking in the room was enough to disturb needle. Is it all about hardware? The response of accelerometer?
-- This lovely program is only deviating in "normal direction to screen" as far as i observed... I haven't seen a real seismograph, but is it always the case? Or should it react against the "resultant acceleration of three directions"
Thanks for the program...

Great APP, I've waited long for Seismograph for Diamond.
However it would be nice to:
1) change the pencil with the proffesional needle image?
2) make it more sensitive (or let us choose the sensitivity ),
3) prevent the screen from fading when the APP is running,
4) add some sound?,
5) add the possibilty to save the session,
6) maybe add the Richter scale meter somewhere underneath?
Heh, a long list, but I hope it will help to improve the APP

Haha... Love it!

I'm not sure about the sensitivity, maybe it's the scale i've used (a logarithmic one may be needed, as the iPhone version has)... I'll try some adjustments... but i'm not trying to compete with the iPhone version here nor the results can be compared. iPhone's Seismometer measures some "energy" and not the raw acceleration. Maybe they square it or they integrate it, i don't know...
You are also right: I'm only measuring "up and down" accelerations. It could also use the norm of the vector if you think that it makes more sense.

Here my ideas for processing of raw data coming out of port:
1- As you've suggested, a log scale may let you magnify the result. Actually it will not magnify but it will let the output be scaled on a narrower band (visually). it means you will have a bigger space to plot data's. So you can increase the output by some constant (multiply with 10 let's say), or even maybe take the cube of the output (taking square will cause problem because negative results will turn into positive then) So we can see even the very small disturbances. and since you use log scale, big oscillations will also not be problem, they will nicely fit on your log scale.
2- Secondly norm of the vector seems like a better idea. Because we're not looking for something scientific or something based on real scales, you can use a resultant vector. The users only want to see the movement of your pencil in any case of disturbance. So sqrt(x'2+y^2+z^2) will be a more useful raw data output just before multiplying with proportional constant and scaling on log paper.
One more time thanks for your effort....

Very very very cool.
thanks very much for your time and effort
Highly appreciated.

works flawesly no probs with sensitivity HR...try to put Dia od table and you will see some vibrations even without any "seismic activity: so maybe appreciate option to stabilise common distorsions caused by HW such a very small iregular deviations...but leave to measure also this small distorsions so to do some switch...but very very amazing app...
I hate iPhone and iPhonemania but its good inspirations for all WM community

Very nice app.
Some suggestions
-exit button
-You can also do this with sound (decibel meter?)
-scale option
-real needle image
Great work so far thanks

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions, I'll try to improve this draft - I did not spend a lot of time on this as you may have guessed
I'll try first to change the scaling, find or draw a "needle" picture and have an exit button.
Stay tuned...

I was finishing my seismo program last nigth but you got ahead
Aldo my program have more features yours have a lot better interface, this was my second WM program so i think its normal, could you share the sorce code so i see how you make the graph?
And i can share my formulas white you to, i was using this web site as base to all my formulas http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/topics/measure.php
Thx in advance

Hi Ikari,
I had seen the thread where you said that you may code something, but at this time my small Seismo was already on its way...
Of course I'll post my C# solution on this thread this evening/night (European time too) when i get back home and have 5 free minutes
Feel free to use it!

where I can take .net 3.5??

==> .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable

To Ikari - and all those interested - here is a link to the current zipped solution (VS 2008):
SeismoMeter.zip (696 KB)
The few interesting things are in SeismoMain.cs...

Video of the app here.

really cool app. kudos from me
several small questions - would it be possible to somehow save the data / the graphs?
and it'd be cool if the device didn't go to sleep after the wm-preset time...

Very nice one.. I wouldt be nice to save the graphs and for example put the phone on the table and If your girlfriend/wife took it for a few moments then put it back.. you can see that ... just an ideea

Nice app!
What to add a fullscreen mode ?
