Are there any sms-pop ups like this one for wm?:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Would be great to have a good looking sms pop-up app that shows photo of the sender like this one, seems there are several available for Android but all the ones I've found for wm looks like ****
Try SMS-Chat by Vito Tech, it has a pop-up that is pretty similar to that.
I know but I don't think it shows an image of the sender...
S2U2 does this, but it will only show if the lock screen is on.
And the picture wont be that big.
Just use XDAndroid, or get an Android phone haha.
Edit: Wait nevermind, I see use already use it, haha. Good choice.
Yes it's very nice, the problem is I can't use it at daytime or at work due to the battery drain, so I only use XDANDROID at home at the moment. But it was XDANDROD with handcent sms that first made made me go wow! and wondered why we don't have anything like it in wm...
You've probably already seen it but it takes it even one step further and allows you to fast reply in the pop-up:
Oh, really? With the latest builds I have been getting fairly decent battery life as long as I'm not constantly using data connection. So I have been using XDAndroid pretty much as my main OS throughout the whole day. But I also have an extra battery just in case.
I do really like the SMS popup with Handcent. The quick reply is really what sells it for me. Very useful.
Well I have constant data connection with push mail and stuff running so it really makes some difference I've noticed but yes the battery life has improved a lot in new releases and isn't way behind wm now except for when using wifi that is!!!
I'm searching something like this too?
+1
Im looking this!!!!
Cheers!

I also use VJPhoneTools on my Today launcher:

But there is a commercial app called MyPhoneShortcuts which does something similiar ($9.49).

Hi vjay,
when you gonna let us know how get out today screens looking this cool?
Bit busy
Holy sh*t VJ! That's some busy Today screen.
Davebo: Yeah, I'm still not happy about the spare bit of space in the middle (it's actually a plugin called VJTodaySpacer). Will have to put something ridiculous in there too! This plugin, VJEphemeris, is likely to substantially change shape as soon as I get a minute to re-address some of it. With my R&D on VJVolubilis etc, I want to build in one touch wifi/ir/bluetooth control etc, and some other stuff.
The screen looks busy but I find it quite easy on the eye (although I dislike analog clocks. I only did it to see how to do it..I think I'll remove it later)
I only have one screen, no virtual pages etc (yet!). The Quote of the day thing is funny, it auto sizes according to the size of the quote. So you get some long ones that autosize to like 3pixels high. Looks absurd
Has anyone gotten around to ripping the treo 700w rom yet? I'd like to have a look at their contacts dialer.
V
Wisbar Advanced Desktop will also let you put a shortcut to a phone number. Then I use vijay's tool for email and SMS.

Hi, can i ask what soft is adding icons to your taskbar on top. Thx a lot.

The fullscreen technique is not entirely compatible with WM5 yet. I've not had enough time to get it out yet. Chakra will tell you all about it.

Found this on the net; cool application but eats a lot of memory. Anyways nice to show off... Enjoy!

It is the memory requirements for this application that has forced the company to discontinue any new versions/updates and provide the last one for free without any support.
They stated "at this point in time WM devices can't handle the next level we want to take our software. So instead of producing an application that does not meet our standards we have decided to pull it from the market"
Perhaps more of an excuse for the software developers not being able to work within the constraints of current PDA limits- who knows.
Right you are... eats up about 6mb of memory. But still I enjoy showing it off to my buddies. I'm not sure if this can be installed and run from a storage card. Will do tomorrow.
Hey, if you want your PDA to look like Windows, use Windows

Have you tried to create a webpage from the screen of the PDA??
I would actually make use of your TSC program had I a suitable device- unfortunately still stuck with JAM- no point of term. services via bluetooth!
Wouldn't mind having one of those up and coming mini-tablet style devices that are due to run the full blown version of XP though.
I'd like to have an OQO or something Unfortunately even the Universal's screen becomes too much work on the eyes after a while. Such a dilema: want a big (VGA) screen, want a small phone. Not gonna happen.
I don't think I'd like an OQO day to day, but nice in bed. But yes, VJFullscreenTSC could be used to write webpages from the Uni.
As I understand it, Experience is a flash app isn't it?
V
Anyone know if there is a small app to allow you to toggle from a display with menu and task bars to full screen in any app?
TIA
Ed
You might want to take a look at this... VJ's contribution of the toggle tool for today.

I'm working on a new interface and possibly combined version of Fullscreen anything and VJToggleToday II. Hopefully this will allow fullscreen anything...

thanks mate!
but what is "fullscreen anything" - i couldnt find it!!!
ed
"Fullscreen anything" isn't a program I've released (for now).
I was asked in another thread if I can make an app like VJToggleToday II but for all apps. I said that I made such an app once, but didn't release it because the OS sometimes doesn't know how to deal with "enlarged" apps.
However, since the code for VJToggleToday is nearly finished, but I now need to put an interface around it, I had the idea to combine it with that old unreleased app, to make a combined version.

I spent a bit of time this weekend working on a new idea for this.

Lovely job!
I can't wait!
it'll be very good if it helps me have more screen space for apps like flexmail and pocketinformant! I tried the VGA method but it hurts my eyes to much!!!
Hopefully, and this is theoretical right now because I don't use Pocket Informant, it should work on just about any app. Good thing I wasted so many gazillions of hours writing VJSmallIcons II! Some apps need some "jiggery pokery" (that's a technical expression) to make them fullscreen. However, some apps just don't like to go fullscreen, although the worst that'll happen is you may get some graphical glitches (which is why I didn't release before). I like NewsReader in fullscreen mode, which it doesn't natively offer.

cheers vijay.
I looked at buttonmax but there is no wm5 version yet. Im sure your job will be smaller, slicker & better anyway. (schlurp schlurp, sucking up!!!)

hi all
Recently got an M700 and am loving it. Since discovering this place I've been amazed at what customisations you can do, and with flashing to WM6 using AX3L's fantastic ROM, getting TomTom6 working, and a few choice other apps to allow FTP etc., i've now got a device that does pretty much everything I could ask of it anywhere! (Probably matter of time till I brick it though...).
What I am missing though, is a decent VNC client (although I've used the RDP client semi-successfully).
I've searched for 'VNC' but no joy - surely that can't be the case when there's so much other stuff available? or is the search function not liking the term...?
thanks for a great forum & resource
Did you see the posts re zoomVNC on PocketPC Thoughts? Looks nice!

i have now
thanks - looks excellent
i guess there's others out there i couldn't search for too!
For me the best is PTPocketOffice.
It was recommended by Menneisyys:
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1572&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
It consumes a lot less data than the others VNC.
It's fast.
It has fullscreen.
It can be used one handed.
The server side can resample the pictures to make it smaller (less data and better image than if it was done by client side).
The only minor thing I'd like to see improved is their proprietary softkeyboard. why not using the system keyboard? I don't want to use a new keyboard with each of my apps...
that's a great article
i hadn't thought to even try logmein until reading it there, i'd assumed that with their remote screens always being slightly fuzzy and smaller it mightn't be great - wow, was i wrong!
just tried logging onto a client's SBS server and the screen scaling and rotation together make it nearly as useable as a standard desktop! the screen scrolling at the side of the screen is a great interface! there'll be occasions where i need VNC, but for know i think I've got a favoured solution
So, before ppl start flaming.....
This has nothing to do with skincolors
I am feeling the itch to start working my photoshop skills again...
Before anyone ask about ETA or anything like that:
There is no ETA.
This can take days/weeks/months
Im just curious about the interest for this. It used to be a popular thing, but times change.
Black project means that I want to skin the basic apps like the dialer, comm manager, manila and a few more from the dull (in my eyes) white into a more mysterious (!!!) black
This is just a test I made, it has alot of work, but its a start:

Yeah I agree, looking real smooth
Wou! Rely amazing! I love it! Cant wait to have it.
But that "call" button would be look nice at green. (imo)
Scuse me for asking, but is that just an inverted greyscale image of the Blackstone dialer?
All-around black'n white - I would like
I always try to find "black background and white symbols" no-nonsense themes for all my phones.
Very Very nice! I must have it!
Hahahha. Damn Itje. Shouldn´t you spend some time with me chatting instead of colourizing Apps??

It is NOT unpopular..IT is loved by many...BLACK!!!!!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
Looks great
I'm still sticking to stock atm and learning as much about wm atm. Preparing to port over soon
Nice...I'll definetly have this if you do spend the time (I looked at the images for the dialler myself and there was sooooo many)
I did a quick fix by swapping the buttons around so that the dialer was black (You can get from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459260 )
@itje: i will probably join in and reskin some stuff like the sbp-panel similar to your work here. i will start in the next days and maybe we can customize near all aspects of the x1 with a one nice black style/skin (if you dont mind).
