Thanks San.

I did a bit more work on it yesterday to tidy things up slightly. Enlarged the caption slightly to 16 pixels high. Hopefully a few will get a preview of it shortly...I'll be in touch.

V

PS First one who can post on why it's called VJSihaya can have a preview copy to play with if they want :wink:. Note, the preview is unfinished, hence preview, and only really for the techy minded.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KTamas:
VJSihaya = ViJay555 - So, I have a young application.

(Nice app btw :) )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
Because VJUsul just doesn't have the same 'ring' to it :)

Edit: yes, it's a hint :) I'm too busy to be playing with this major dev from vijay, so somebody else hop to it and pick up on it :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
ZeBoxx - I'm sure you'd have got Sihaya :wink:, and Usul is one I'll have to use when I make a security app I have in mind. But why is it Sihaya?

ZeBoxx, you don't need to enter, you were already welcome to a preview copy if you wanted to have a go. Further to our PM chat a second ago, I was thinking VJSihaya could/should possibly be made compatible with standard theme colours in the registry to make it theme compatible. But that will come later, for now the theme is hard coded.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KTamas:
Sihaya means Desert Spring. It is related to Frank Herbert's Dune.

Extended info:

Sihaya - Fremen: the desert springtime with religious overtones implying the time of fruitfulness and 'the paradise to come.' The term seems to be Arabic in origin, although it is had to say. It could be siyaha (wandering, tourism), or (health)

Usul - Fremen: 'The base of the pillar.' This is the name given to Paul by the Fremem Chieftain Stilgar. The Arabic root A-S-L means "base". Usul is the plural, and is used for "basis", "principles", "methods" as well, like in Usul Al Fiqh which is the science of principles of jurisprudence.

Where can I download that beta version? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
KTamas: well edited just in time!

I was looking for "the paradise to come".

An equally acceptable alternative would have been "because I like the name".

I'll be in touch. You're using a QVGA device though aren't you? It's not as impressive on there, but it'll give you the idea.

V

PS I should add guys - the "preview" is a preview of certain functionality that will make up the shell replacement idea, VJSihaya. But it's the interesting bit :)

PPS KTamas: did you know the answer, or get it from the hints?!

PPPS I like your Reluna theme quite a lot. At some point shortly I'm going to hard code another couple of example skins. Making the skinning "engine" externally accessible is pretty far off for now, as I said, this is merely a preview of implementation, and I've not finalised what I want to add in. But if it's ok, you want I try and make a Reluna theme?

Would go great with your Wisbar..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KTamas:
Using Blue Angel with WM5, and QVGA indeed. Still, it has some useful stuff in QVGA too ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KTamas:
PPS: Google ;)

PPPS: Thanks... I have no problems with it, however you need Bant's permission, you can ask him by sending him a note at bant.deviantart.com or PM-ing him at neowin.net
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
vijay - yeah, I got the answer... at least, I figured it'd be the paradise bit - but eh.. busybusy! 'd rather let others run into the bugs and frustrations, at the benefit of the perk of getting to use it early :)

I've got plenty of other software to poke at myself just yet.. and that's when I have time away from work/sleep/girl (sadly in that order, these days)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, new screenshot showing slightly tidied up icons/caption and OK buttons.

Not got around to OS X skinning yet.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
now to make a virtual desktop of it all so that yuo can have windows 'off-screen' that you can scroll to ;)

chop chop!

/me runs and goes back to work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wytey:
vijay... that looks amazing :D

*edit* no... amazing isn't the word, does it no justice :) it's what MS should have done ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
ZeBoxx: you beat me to the punch with the virtual desktop manager :) It was a feature I was intending to add. On the PC I use an old copy of VERN which is still perfectly functional, and would like to implement such a feature (also for VJFullscreenTSC).

I don't know how beneficial it is at this screen size; also most screen managers seems to make fairly heavy use of hooking, which can slow things down a lot, but I have no other choice for other parts of the program, so what the hell, I'll give it a go. Have you guys seen Fungus Tabs for the PC btw? Beautiful solution to an almost non existent problem :)

edit: having just had an out of body experience in an early meeting this money on Money Laundering Regulations, it occurred to me that since I'm implementing my own windowing system, I don't need to use system hooks to do the notification. So hopefully VDM is slightly more feasible.

wytey: thanks! Put it like this: this program will never be signed or approved by Microsoft, since it stomps all over the User Interface guidelines :shock:

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Melty:
I'm blown away by this! It seems that every day I discover another of your mamoth projects. :shock:

Vijay, unless you are the most generous, benevolent person ever, you need to make sure you sort out some security for this one. What I mean is... you ought to charge people for it, so don't go giving away fully functioning versions that will work forever. You know what I mean; come up with a cool way of registering the program then you can give free keys to certain people if you like and maybe make a couple of quid out of it from everyone else. You know, all part of the big plan so you can give up the day job! :wink:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KTamas:
Neat stuff here indeed. Played a few minutes with the beta (alpha? :) ) version and it rocks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Hi Melty - thanks for your great comments. Man, if you could imagine how quickly it went from inception to where it is now, it's been quite a productive few days. However, miles and miles to go, but I like the windowing system, and a couple of guys are giving some feedback on that particular aspect.

I hope that I am quite generous and benevolent, but if the app does come together well it might be a program worth releasing to the wider world. For now, other than minimal testing for feedback, it's staying on my PC/Universal/Magician :)

There are so many elements in a replacement shell, mammoth is certainly the right word! I'm intending to cool down on VJSihaya briefly, consolidate and bug fix some of the other apps I have floating around to calm people down, and then focus on VJSihaya after that. But you know what it's like, when you've got a project you enjoy, everything else is just a mere distraction!

BTW:

Thought we were both giving up the day job and running away into the sunset?!

I should add. I have another idea for another project, another biggie. Man, that one's cool and also quite big in scope, and will dovetail beautifully with VJSihaya.

Where will the madness end??!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Kádár: I've had a few emails back from two of three which were very helpful. If you've got some feedback, I look forward to it. I'll probably distribute a round up, or just implement them directly.

Hope you got my last email about TCPMP and WMP etc. Remember, the app you've got will a transparent part of VJSihaya ultimately, not manually operated as in the preview. Does that make sense :wink:

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KTamas:
Hi

Will have more time to play with it tomorrow, and I'll write you the results tomorrow night.

P.S: It is "Tamás", not "Kádár", Kádár is my Family name; Hungarians write their names like Japanese ppl (Family Name - Given Name) :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Ahh, apologies! Didn't know that. I derived it from your initials... Good to know.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KTamas:
No problems :) I've already considered writing my signature in Western style in my emails.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wytey:
@vijay

lol, seriously stunning work mate :) I'm going to nickname it VJ2005 :D

imagine.... Hi, this is my PDA Phone, it is an O2 XDA Exec, running VJ2005... lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SiliconS:
VJSihaya needs its own thread, vijay...

This thing's gonna be big. :shock:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
Hi Vijay I know I am a huge pain in the but, but I just donated some more money to the cause hoping it would help you to work on TodayTogle for wm5. please :D I realy want to use it on my kjam :shock:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Ah, Chakra, was wondering which thread you came from! Did you get my email? Thank you so much for the donation... don't worry, I'm hoping to finally spend some time on some of the older programs this weekend.

Will do some more work on VJToggleToday. If I get it done, I'll try to send you a beta; the phase I'm stuck on right now is dual compatiblity: I have WM2003 code, and WM5 code, and I'll join them together. But you don't need that.

After VJSihaya I've had some more ideas for this app, but they'll come later... And as I said before, VJToggleToday works with a companion Today plugin which I haven't released yet. So that needs work as well.

Silicon, I've put VJSihaya onto it's own thread here.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cutefox:
wow!!! looking great!! i own a qvga device as well. wanna try it out.. ^^ vjay jus keep gettin better!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Melty:
But what would our wives/girlfriends say? :lol:

Seriously, I'll race you to be able to give up the day job and muck around with stuff like this full time. The winner can take the second place man (and maybe the women too) out for a posh dinner...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
:) Looking forward to it. Keeping throwing those dice.

Glad it's the weekend though.. been a long week at work and play!

Time to recuperate and Watch 3rd Rock from the Sun/play CoD.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Melty:
I've never seen that. I always assumed it would be rubbish, but I may well be wrong. More of a CSI man, although I rarely watch TV these days. I'm sure you understand! I've got six hours of coding on my big project lined up for tomorrow: 8am-2pm. :shock:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
:) Yup, CSI as well. Not on tonight though (you guys using PTVL?)

I'm trying to resist coding tonight, but I'm sure I won't be able to resist.

Might do a bit of cracking instead... :shock:

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] urksaddy:
Seriously. Have a way for me to alter the name of the cab file so it reads as VinJowsMobile2006 :)

Absolutely stunning work. Especially given that you are self confessed novice...!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I like that, VinJows! Although given how vast the challenge is to get everything I want into it, it'll probably release around the same time as Windows Vista Server ed!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
Hi Vijay I know this is an older app for you and if I am correct you dont have a windows mobile 5 device. but have you had any time to work on making this awsome app work properly on win mobile 5??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
chakra: I already have a working WM5 version, but I'm extremely busy right now and just unable to beta test it etc. I'm not asking for testers, it's just really impossible for me to make enough time to look at the code properly right now. I promise, the new VJOkButt will be released this week, then I'm working on ToggleToday. So I won't release any new programs (ok, maybe one) until I can finish ToggleToday!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajg23:
wow, when you have a version that will kill my 6700's "soft buttons" and the silly tray right above them, you'll definitely get a donation from me :)

A
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
ajg23: I've already done it, just need to tidy a few loose ends up... but no time right now :( New release of something else early tomorrow,

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajg23:
looking forward to it...

<<I ahve not read every post in this thread so excuse my ignorence>>

vijay555, what service do you access to get the temperature info. And how many bits or kb dose it take to transfer the data.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
do you have a beta i can use ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
OK fine I have donated money twice to try and get you to pay attention to this program. I am just going to use it as is, thats ok. I dont mind the second to bottom bar being in the midle of my screen. I am not really mad I just keep watching you relaease new apps, all of which are totally *****ing(can you tell im from california?) but togle today is so cool. you are really the best Vijay. You could be charging for all of these apps. I counted the other day and I have five of your apps installed two of which I cant live without. thanks man, I just want this so badddddd.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Chakra - picture this background:

- A demanding Mrs Vijay555 is expecting Vijay555.1 Junior

- I work 1,900+ billable hours per year in a legal firm

- I'm trying to find a new job

- I need to go to the gym at least twice a week

- Mrs Vijay555 rations my programming to an hour or two per night

In this context:

- Mrs Vijay555 went away last weekend. In that time I slept very very little working on new updates. I got the new VJOkButt out finally, researched compatibility of the Universal torch app by discecting roms for the Wizard, Atom and MPX300, and worked on the Voice Command clam hack, amongst other whims.

- I looked at the VJToggleToday code very very briefly, because your post on Saturday made me feel so guilty, but the code was so complex, I just couldn't face it at 5.30am. so I finally went to bed.

You will get the very first beta, I promise.

I will try to investigate VJFullscreenTSC first, because that's a much smaller problem, and will give me a technique I need to carry over to VJToggleToday.

From there, VJToggleToday. Really, I'm sorry about the donations etc. It's absolutely lack of time. Not that I just want more donations off you!

You only use WM5 right? I can bang out a WM5 only version slightly sooner then the dual compatible version.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
thank you and I am really sorry, Some times i just go overboard. like I said before you are the best. most of your stuff is a must have. yes I am wm5 only OK ill wait quietly now :oops:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
chakra: don't wait quietly - I need to be reminded of priorities from time to time. It's just that what's a priority to you isn't to other members. I have X thousand people asking for an update to VJFullscreenTSC, and VJToggleToday hasn't been substantially updated since October. VJOkButt is a program I use every day (and you should too!), so that needed an immediate update because of a relatively substantial bug (disconnecting GPRS when it shouldn't). This took several days to work through.

I try to do bug fixes before updates, and updates by priority. But as I said, it's a hobby, but one that's taking more time then I have. And I want to do stuff that's not updates and bugfixes (eg VJSihaya)...

VJToggleToday will be done, and is urgent after VJFullscreenTSC. I have so many new ideas as well! Major new ideas on VJSmallIcons and VJTrayLaunch and I have to maintain/update VJVolubilis, VJEschaton and the torch app :( And no doubt others I just can't remember!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
Hi dont forget about today toggle :D :D :D :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sdialani:
Rick how did u get that screen....did u download it or make it......really liked it so if n e 1 could hepl me with that......i really don no a lot about my phone...please help me personalise it

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, hopefully things have calmed down a bit now, so I'll be looking into VJToggleToday again soon.

Thanks for being patient Chakra!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] matheprat:
Why would anyone want both versions joined together? Surely if someone does have both types of machines they could just download two separate programs?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Good point - I guess I'm the only one then! I use a Magician day to day, and universal just for development. I don't like maintaining two copies, but I guess in this case, since the WM5 version would have to be resident, better to make it as light as possible.

I haven't looked at this code for a long time, was busy on VJCandela. But hopefully I'm clearing my decks for this.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I think the dual compatibility is better than different versions. With my friends a lot of beaming goes on of programs between different devices. I keep cabs of most stuff on my storage card. It simplifies everything if one version is good everywhere. A lot of people also just use programs to enhance their phone but have not got a clue about anything to do with computers. Decerning between different versions would be beyond them, and they would blaim any errors on the author. My wifes friends cant even get outlook to have multiple accounts, they don't need any more complication.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
OdeeanRDeathshead: yup, tell me about it. For VJCandela there was a cab clearly marked for the Universal, but some people still managed to wibble their systems slightly by using it on non Universal devices :roll:

The WM2003 version is quite light itself, so when the time comes, I'll try both ways and see.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
one app two apps???? I dont care, do you have just one that will work on my kjam? Can I try it please??? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :lol: :? 8) :twisted: :idea: :| :| :| :| :|

Thanks for the compliment.

Believe me I'm no whizzo when it comes to these devices - but with the help of this forum you can do some good stuff.

The black background is made by taking a photo with your finger over the lens ! Open it in pictures and click set as today background.

The top and bottom bars are hid courtesy Vijay Toggle.

The top Battery Meter is an feature from SPB Pocket Plus

Notes Today is installed - visit Handango;-http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&jid=8B4F7872C5B836CCA43XF7FE17XABBAD&platformId=2&N=96806&Ntt=notes%20today&productId=88353&R=88353

SPB Pocket Plus provides the tabs with assignable icons.

SPB Weather is installed and can be assigned to its own tab.

Hghmmmmm, oh excuse me :oops:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
Hi Vijay, Im sure you have a beta for togle today on win mobile 5. can I try it?? please???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rick GM:
That would be good. Trying to use the WM2003 version messes things up a bit !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, I'm working my way around to it. I've had to do updates for VJLumos, VJBigPhone, VJOkButt and a couple of other things this weekend, which was very productive for me. But I'm working towards this one, because it needs a lot of work :( Soon...

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
Just bumping it, Hi :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
nearly

Finally did some work on the WM5 version. Nearly there. Beta coming soon.

ugly screenshot showing custom resizable start bar and soft keys.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rick GM:
Off topic but...

How did you get NotesToday to dipslay like that. In landscape mode the Clear Note icon (the blue splashy bit) on my device ends up inside the border of the note and doesn't work !! My version is 1.3.1.

(ps since moving to WM5 it won't autosave the note either !)

Good luck with ToggleToday - we're waiting !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Rick, no idea at all.

I've never looked at my today screen on my Universal, I only use it for development and have never customised it. I just stuck on a load of plugins to test the scrollbars. I normally use a custom skin on NotesToday, but I think I must be using a relatively old version. I haven't upgraded since WM2003... I'll look into it further if you want.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rick GM:
Don't waste your valuable time on it, but thanks anyway.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
Please give us a beta!!!

Is any beta of VJToggleTodayWM5 ready to be releasead? Please, give us something test!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chakra:
you are so very close. good work :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Chakra/Jolas: forgot to mention, alpha release posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=251624#251624

Alpha Release

Please read the other thread. I don't like releasing Alpha, most of my final stuff is cr*p anyway, so alphas are even worse :) But it works ok. Needs a little more work, but as you know, I wanted to finish VJSmallIcons II first. Now that's done, I'll be finishing off VJToggleToday II.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
I now use for certain days the VJToggleTodayIIalpha and am impressed. The only choice that does not function (as you already mentioned vijay555) is the hiding the tray option. You are doing a great work vijay555!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonentity:
hi Vijay,

i'm using your toggle menu & start butt with wisbar adv2 on my magician... the start toggle works great but i can't seems to toggle menu bar... but it works perfectly when i turn off my wisbar... and i like my wisbar very much at the same time i need more space...

any advise other than killing bob?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
can you email me a screenshot and details of your configuration please. I haven't tested this with any non OS software yet so there are issues still to fix!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Puzom:
Can you please tell me how the plugin is called that is showing the "Book Tickets" text?

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, I'm posting a slightly updated version of the VJToggleToday II alpha for WM5 only:

VJToggleToday II v0.1.01

You can check version number by using -about as a command line.

Hopefully it tries to hide the SIP a bit more successfully. Please let me know what config you're using if it doesn't work.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
vijay555, it didn't work for me. On my today screen I have the following plugins: marsware weatherpanel, egress rss reader, spb diary, spb pocket plus. I also use the matepsoft TrayDisplay to hide the tray bar.

The registry settings that I use running VJToggleTodayIIalpha:

start menu = 26

soft keys = 1

System tray = 1
