I like it, good work. I like it especially it is a 3rd party software so that I can keep my Today screen. BTW, whats the diff of yours compared to the one at the other thread?
Anyway, although getting the aye-Phone interface is good for a start, I think it ought to be able to get some artist to make a better looking interface than aye-Phone.
BTW, as suggestion (for feature), I'm just wondering if you can make your app to respond to the D-Pad (the directional button), like those (say) SonyE phone and then display another graphics to show that the button is being selected.
Design case example:
All icons are black-white. Using your directional button, it goes from one icon to another. The selected icon will have colour (depending on design), and pushing the 'action' button will make it launch the app.
Final thing, whats the difference between yours and the one mentioned at the other thread?

The Difference is that the other one was in 12/24 hour format, it has no exit button, its 1Meg in size, it has some memory leaks that people complained about. Im sure mine has issues as well so please test and let me know.
I can possible make it work on the dialpad with different icons when they have focus. I just wanne make sure it wont eat too much memory and become to slow. Im not good with graphics at all so any suggestions will be appreciated
I was thinking of a config module, for easier? configuration.

Good Idea, Ill work on that unless you wanna make it? What do you mean by enabled, should it not show or should it be grayed out?

I can try make it(i hope). Kinda newbie at programing, but i think i can make it work.
should i make it a seperate app and just make it change the config files?
think that would be the easiest, maybe.

Yep write a new app if you want and access the config files it would be the easiest. Im also new at programming. What i know i taught myself so thats why its so difficult to do this. This app took my 8 hours to write and im sure someone else could have done it faster and better. Lemme know if you know how to get the Network operator name and Signal strength and battery level out of the registry. I know where they are stored but cant seem to read data from the registry
try this one: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4640/2/
dunno what you can make out of it, since im learning VB.NET atm and have no clue about C#
found something from a previous app i made for windows, here is some of the code i used, dunno how it's done in C# but im guessing it wouldnt be very different
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey
Dim regSubKey As RegistryKey
RegKey = Registry.LocalMachine
regSubKey = RegKey.CreateSubKey("SOFTWARE\Example")
regSubKey.SetValue("ExampleDwordValue", "0")
i think i would have used
regSubKey.GetValue("ExampleValue")
in VB but you should just try to find it.
hope it helps you in some way.
Lightweight and fast is good. As what you're doing is basically possible with WA + WAD. BTW, as for the settings, you may want to have the (4 x 4) + (1 x 4) icon grid flexible, incase people want to have large icons (less stuff to launch?). An ayeFone alternatives design, take a look here

I was thinking of removing the whole icon if you dont want it
edit: removing as in hiding
Follow Up
I got the signal strengt working as well as reading the operator name from the registry. The only help i need now is to get the battery level from somewhere withing the registry, ill update the zip files on th first post
sounds good with the provider and signal info, will test it right now.
the icons: since i just arrived home, i did not have any new icons yet. but for workaround reasons, i attached a zip-file with the original iphone-icons , and a zip-file with the alternative icons. i numbered them in the original-iphone-order and added an additional rss-icon (for the 16. field).
(i was not really shure why you choose these other icons in the release (where are they from?)), but the original icons worked just fine for me. the alternatives also.
a blurry picture with before-and-after (left->your release right-> the original icons) is also attached.

I was just messing around to see if the autosizing will work, the icons you have look good so ill use them. I still need an .ico file for the actual app. Any Ideas? O i attached a screen capture app you can try so you dont have to take funny pics hehe

roger that! and thanks for the screen-capture application.
i'll try to install it via parallels (a mac and a pocket pc is a disastreous combination )
one request: maybe you should use version-numbers by now. its hard to follow which iphone-zip-folder is the "up to date" one.

Tried using SNAPI?
Trying to remember but I think it was something like SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.PowerBatteryStrength).
Will test/check when I get home
*Edit* If you don't want to download the sn api then I think wm stores all state information in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State (battery strength, display orientation, num missed calls, num new sms's etc) */Edit*
Erg, sorry, just noticed the "Visual Studio 2003" part now. SNAPI requires 2005 afaik. Gonna have to grab it from manually from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Status\Battery
ok just tried the latest release. could it be that other file-extensions then *.exe are not recognized?
i.e.: .tr3 or .lnk (i tried to access a tomeraider file and a link to my contacts - but no luck)
furthermore, german pathnames including umlaute ÄÖÜßöäü doesnt work
attachment: was in need for a quick wikipedi /wikimedia icon
does this one have the slide lock?

Hey all,
Well, I've been playing around with this for a few hours now, and the prospect looks pretty good. I haven't touched QT since I was about 16, but I seem to still remember a little . I'm sure you've seen the videos of pictureflow running on the the HTC touch, well, now it's your chance to test it out on your own device!
It runs perfectly smooth on my Wizard, but I haven't been able to test it out very extensively.
It has been compiled with the re-worked version that Jesper did for the chumby, which adds simple mouse support, and fullscreen ability. Link:http://ariya.blogspot.com/search/label/pictureflow
Things you should know:
This demo will load up any image files that are in the same directory as the exe.
Supported image formats:JPEG, PNG, BMP, XBM, XPM and PNM
I think that's pretty much it, I'll be looking at optimizing things, and researching the dropping of some of those dll files. Otherwise, our rom cookers will have to weave them in there somehow.
Looking forward to hearing about how it runs. .
PS.
No windows mobile 2003 support.
Thanks to alipendier for working with me online to make sure of proper WM5 support.
Updates::
Version 0.6 [1/21/08]:
Ok the long awaited 0.6 Release. Basically, there is only one bad thing about this release (for me at least), and I'm going to say it now.Please don't complain about this, I know it's a prob. Fullscreen images look like crap! It's a small problem, and will be fixed, possibly with a hotfix soon. Why? In an effort to make Everything as efficient as possible, I asked myself? Why load full sized images in the PictureFlow ribbon? So on load, I get the thumbnail versions of each picture, and load those instead. The result is, A MUCH MUCH MUCH faster loading time on my wizard! It was really noticeable for me, and I hope the same for everyone else.
Re-Added support for all the other picture formats that your device reads natively.
I'd also like to extend a HUGE thank you to A_C for sending me a PM alerting me to the Imaging API for our windows mobile devices. Imgdecmp, truly pales in comparison. I threw the funkiest pictures at PictureFlow, and they all load up BEAUTIFULLY, and quickly. I'm talking 50+ images, of all different formats, and even a few 1mb+ images in the mix up. And this is all from the storage card.
If PictureFlow doesn't like an image (for some strange reason) it shouldn't reload the last picture it loaded over and over again. This release is the biggest step towards efficiency, I really hope that everyone else experiences what I have experienced on my Wizard.
Oh, and I've erased the download links for all the previous versions, except 0.5. This version should work for both WM5/6 users.
Enjoy this one guys.
Version 0.7 01/24/08: (Hot Fix For 0.7 Below) <<< Everyone should install it!
Finally, version 0.7! Instead of typing a paragraph I'll do this one list style.
1)Full screen pictures don't look like crap anymore when you full screen them.
2)Aspect-Ratio problems FIXED! So your pictures of all resolutions should look good.
3)Appleton's graphics have been added, so PF looks a lot better than before.
4)All graphics are loaded up dynamically, and can be found in the gfx folder. So you can make whatever changes you'd like to them. Advanced skin support will come later. But for now, you can change the buttons to whatever you'd like, once they've got the same size . Artists, go crazy!
I think that's it,
Let me know how things go.

works lika a charm on my htc Prophet @286Mhz.
Keep on developing i would say!
Hi,
Dexxa05 has just put up a compiled item in appleton's thread just above this one. Is his compilation different to yours or can we test either?
Thanks for putting this up, by the way.

my prophet just shows me a blank (black) screen.

This version includes simple mouse support, as well as joystick support. I don't think he compiled his own with mouse support . Also, his own comes with some nice testing images.
@E_Shinobi
Are your pictures in the same folder as the exe? Also, remember, they must be in PNG, BMP, XBM, XPM or PNM format. No jpeg.

BMP wouldn't work. Tested it with PNGs and now it's working nearly flawlessly on non overclocked prophet.
This is very promising! Glad to finally see that work.
@lijnsane: As he wrote, he FORGOT to compile it with jpeg decompression. Sometimes reading actually helps
It works perfect on my Cingular 8125
@thundershadow14
You've done it again!! Just when I thought I couldn't get more surprised by your work, you've managed to make me fall on my ass one more time. I know it is still in very early stages, but it works like a charm in my BA!!!
I will report bugs as I see them.
Bugs so far:
*Having a way to close the program would be nice
*jpeg support (of course you already know that
*zoom
*directory support would be a nice feature
*transition could be a little smoother, but I guess it might have to do with the fact that I am running from the SD card.
Other than that, keep it up!!!!!!!!! Great Job!!!!!!!

As indicated above, I forgot to add jpeg support while compiling QT. For demo purposes this isn't such a big problem, and it actually is quite useful for testing. Anyone who wants to use this method will just have to compile QT with jpeg support. Or do on the fly conversion, I think QT has a method for this, but I'm not sure.

Great to see it working nicely . But really, credit this time shouldn't all go to me, all I did was figure out how to compile it for WinCe. Send your love over to the makers of the widget:

Nevertheless, thanks.
Damned Chad, you ownnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Very nice job
Would be great if you could integrate it in PM
iPhone is definitely buried
I can't wait for it to work with jpeg's. Excellent work my friend.
Ehmm guys, can i ask you something.
Where do i put this program because i copied the files to my storage card and run the exe but what ever i do (copied a gif file in every single folder i tought the program would get it from) it doesn't show the picture.
Hope you could give me a hint

place the complete pictureflo folder in your programfiles folder "programmabestanden" and then copy some files: PNG, BMP, XBM etc (see first post for suported files) into the pictureflo folder and start the .exe
Close program with the call end button

I did that already, gonna try it again with multiple and differt pictures and i knew about the jpeg but thanks for telling me..
Will be back shortly to tell of it works or not
[edit]
Okay back again, and now i know why it didn't work :ashame: i used an animated gif to test. I never looked futher than the extension .
Nice app still in the kids shoes but i look really good, i think once more developers notice this app the development will go very fast.
this is addressed to anybody running any manila version on a blueangel or any other device!
in some rom there are 4 default pictures for manila's people tab. there are 2 different pictures for men (i think one was thin and one wore a cap) and 2 different ones for women (different hair styles i think).
i am trying to set up my people tab and don't have contact photos for some people and i don't want to use the same guy for all those people.
so, if you are running manila, please check your windows folder for those people pics. they are removed from most roms for space purposes, so i don't have them on any of my devices. i don't want to flash all the manila roms just to find the missing 3 pictures.
the file name starts with HH_ and i can't seem to find them using google.

Hi there guys. New to the cooking arena, so sorry if the answer is plain. I just cooked in build 23676, and most things work fine. The one thing I don't see is when I click on contact details, I don't see anything. Just a blank sheet. Is this a known problem? Any fix for this? I've also tried build 23129, and I see the same issue, just not the extra tabs.
Does anyone know what files are called for contact entry and viewing?
I've seen this problem reported in several ROMs (I *did* search!), but not a solution.
Thanks!
- bump -
Can someone please tell me what files are involved in the display of contact details? I know there are chefs that ran into this same problem. It is driving me nuts!!
I probably cannot help (I have just added 23676 with no such issue, and am a noob chef myself) but it might make it easier for others to help if you added your device to your signature and explained what kitchen you were using, and perhaps what other packages you used (or things you had removed).
I use a Rhodium and Oskitchen. I still use most of the Rhodium 2.07 EXTs but have updated some to the Leo packages. As I said, I have checked and do not have that issue.
Cheers
C.
Thanks for the reply, C. I appreciate you taking the time to at least give your thoughts. The problem with providing all the information you mentioned immediately disqualifies my request for help. I have a "non-HTC" phone (well.. a non-anything phone really) with a Windows 6.5 ROM. I have piece by piece broken that ROM apart, and am trying to insert the newest build features. So I have to handcraft a XIP, go through every package, run custom osnbtool commands, etc. No help from any of the nice kitchens.
I am stuck at this one point, and I must have flashed at least 50 ROM versions to my phone trying to find the one combination that sticks, but no luck. In my search, I have found other chefs that made "standard" HTC ROMs that ran into this. All I'm hoping is someone remembers what they did to fix it. One example is here.
Would you mind doing me a favor? Can you take a screenshot of what the contact details screen looks like and post it? I can try to go through all the image files, and embedded images in DLLs to see if I can spot the graphics that show up on the page.
Err will try - need to dig up a screen shot app etc as dont use them or have one cooked in.
About to go to bed and travelling to a work meeting tomorrow so don't hold your breath - if no one else has chipped in by the time I am back I will try.

No worries. I've waited 3 weeks on anyone responding. A few more days won't hurt.
Hows this?
Are these what you wanted? You can see the theme background coming through behind the contact picture - I dont use this screen much as I use the Manila contacts so not an issue for me.

Yes - perfect! Much appreciated! Now to start digging into the dlls.
You are my hero, crazyC! I've made more progress in a day, than in the last three weeks! I discovered that I had missing icon files in the Base_DPI_96 package. So now I get a contact screen, but the background is not being populated. So I need a little bit more investigative work. Not sure how to get there yet. But man.. progress is progress!
I really appreciate you taking the time out to help me!
I am happy to have helped someone rather than always asking for help!
What do you mean the background is not being populated? I dont understand? Are you talking about the bit where my theme is showing through?

Yes. You see how in my images I have a really blocky bitmap in the first, and a checkered background in the other? I am assuming there is a background image that goes there that I am not getting.
For your contacts, is there a special theme that you installed? I see a dark background with some clouds. If I know where that image comes from, I might get a clue.
Before people tell me to search the forums, that's what I've been doing for the longest time, trying every ROM on the Vogue forum. And before you tell me to try Android, I've done that too, and while I like it, I prefer Windows Mobile on this particular phone at the moment, but may put Android on it again sometime in the future.
The closest that I've found is NagROM V0.19 Touch, which is just a touch too basic. I'm looking for something like that, but with M2D and M2D Customiser, the HTC Cabs and Ringtones, the EZInput keyboard like in NFSFan's ROM, and Office 2007 or 2010. While I like the ROMs that come with other programs cooked in, such as Total Commander and PHM Registry Edit, I prefer the ROM coming without them so that when I go to install an updated version, I don't run into a problem. Too many times I've had problems installing a newer version of a program when it comes up telling me it has to uninstall the previous version, but can't, sometimes leaving me with just the old version, or both versions.
And before anyone says to cook my own, I've looked into guides, tried cooking my own, and the past few times I've tried, it wouldn't even boot up for the first time after flashing. I've tried numerous kitchens, some of which are supposed to be basic ones, perfect for beginners, but end up with one of a few problems: Not compatible with 64-bit windows, virus scanner blocks a crucial part, not meant for the Vogue, etc.
Basically what I'm asking is: Are there any basic ROMs with nothing more than M2D (and HTC cabs and Ringtones, and M2DC), EZInput, and Office Mobile 2007/2010 cooked in, or can someone HELP me with trying to cook my own (so that I can have it preconfigured for Verizon, MMS working and GPS set up)?
Hey, Ill cook you up a rom with the things you want. Should be done here in a little while!
Hey - that's a dev for you, man. Ask and ye shall receive!

Haha, wow. I never expected someone to actually make it fer me! I'll have to try it out tomorrow as it's late now. Also, what kitchen do you use, Barogi? I still do plan on learning. (I'm a mix of hands on learning and being shown/flat out told what to do for the first time or three lol). Also, I assume it is set up as a Generic ROM (without the provisioning cab, MMS cab and settingsh, and Registry settings for GPS)? Also, as time goes more things come to mind to be cooked in (hence wanting to learn how to cook a ROM personally, and slowly becoming less basic ) lol. Still, thanks, majorly. I'll let you know how it works out when I try it tomorrow =3
Oh, and what version of EZInput is cooked in? I know I said "like the one in NFSFan's ROM," but that's only because I was unsure of the version (which I know now is 1.5.)

I use ppckitchen.org Buildos 2.0.0 And yes it is generic meaning you will need a carrier cab, Once you do install your carrier cab everything should work such as mms and gps. As for Ezinput i actually use a newer version than Nfsfans its (pcarvalho_ezInput_2.1_QVGA). If you want some help with cooking your own rom, just install ppckitchen buildos 2.0.0 since thats the only one ive ever used and know how to use and then send me a message on whatever you need some help with! Also if you want something changed in the rom i have already made for you before you get a chance to build your own, just let me know and ill do it.
EDIT: Had posted the wrong link to ppckitchen its supposed to be ppckitchen.org not .com
Hope you like it.

PPCKitchen BuildOS 2.0.0 is what I was using as well. I've used enough generic ROMs to know how to get it all working, so that's simple to do. Was just curious about that. I've gotten one ROM working through there, but somehow ended up with the Windows Mobile 6.1 splash screen (even though I changed it lol.) I'll try out your ROM, and I"ll keep playing with BuildOS. Hopefully I can get the file size down, and figure out how to cook in my own things, not just what's listed on the build menu lol. I'm kind of a hands on learner, kind of need to be shown multiple times, so playing around with it (though will take MUCH longer) SHOULD help me figure it out, but I'll keep in mind to PM you if I have any questions.

Ok great!
Alright, I'm trying out the ROM, and so far it looks great. Just one slight thing... I see you put in PHM RegEdit (an add on program I said I prefer installing myself so that when I go to update it I don't run into problems lol) Other than that, so far it looks perfect. Now if I could figure out how to cook a ROM where it isn't bigger than the stock, with just a few add in things as I think of them that I use regularly (and cook it as a Verizon specific ROM) then yay. Time to start playing with BuildOS while setting up my phone again lol

Ahh sorry about that Its just one of those programs that i figured you might want but perhaps had forgotten to ask for
Also i realized that after i had uploaded the rom that i forgot to add the reg edit to fix the 2016 date error on sms messages... Not sure if that affects you on Verizon, because i do not get it on Bell.
If you want... I can give you a list of the necessary things you should put in your own roms to make it function to its fullest.. like all the necessary bluetooth items and such?

It's alright, I think PHM is one of the ones that can be updated even if it's cooked in without any problems. And yes, the 2016 problem will affect me on Verizon. I had it happen to me on NagROM before, but already had the fix downloaded (someone made it into a cab) so I installed it to be on the safe side. As for the list of things to make it function to the fullest, please do. And if there is another way to contact you other than on here, can you tell me in PM? I'd like to contact you off of here for help with cooking a ROM. I've tried again, and it wouldn't even finish building this time. Out of about 8 times of cooking a ROM, it succeeded only once, but I forgot to compress it (this was before you made this ROM for me).
Also, slight problem, and quick question.
The problem is on M2D. The music tab. It says that it can't play the audio file and opens Windows Media Player. I haven't found anything on this yet and had it happen to me on a few ROMs. If it can't be fixed, that's fine, i can just take off the music tab (because I don't always slide along the bottom, I'll use the D-pad at times, and if other people play with my phone)
The question... Where can I find the default background for M2D? I changed the background using M2DC so it'll be on all the tabs, but you can't see the white text, so I wanna change it back until I find a different background.

Ill send you a pm with my cell number. Also I have always gotten that message when trying to use music tab. I dont think a fix has ever been mentioned... I know that it usually defaults to using audio manager and not the windows media player, perhaps that could be the problem?
The background... I think that you have to back up the default in M2DC before changing it in order to get it back, so that you can reload it. Just so you know, I don't use Manila at all on my phone, so im not quite sure how to fix many things on it. And remember that most issues are do to the fact that Manila is not made for our phones and has been ported over. But I will try my best to help you out.

I've had the music tab working before. I think NFSFan's ROM. And I'll just find a different background. I'll send you a text tomorrow before my class.

Yeah NFSFAN always cooked Audiomanager into his roms... you could put it in your own as well and it probably would stop the error.

Barogi...can I hit you up for a more basic one that that? I need the lighted WM ROM there is. I basically need Windows Mobile 6.5.3 and that's it...no extras.
If you could make one that has everything removed except Windows (even ezinput, office, ringtones, htc apps, etc...then I would be very appreciate
Of course if you have a kitchen link I can do it myself - thanks !!
