i'm having trouble opening it on my Sprint Touch....i DLed Flash Lite 2.1 but i noticed it said it was for wm5....is that the problem? Cuz i have wm6?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mghtz:
or otherwise anybody care 2 help a no0b out....as it says in the first post "Open with itask.swf" which didn't make much sense 2 me cuz usually there's some type of .exe or setup file to run a prog...so of course i do as it says and i get a "There is no application associated with "itask", Run the application first then open this file first from within the application"

.....???

Troubles

Good luck Rhov. Hope things get better for you soon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mchapman007:
Sad to see you go....

I have anticipated every release of iTask and I'm very sad to see you go. I hope things work out and you'll be back better than ever.

Thanks, again.........
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Thank you for your kind comments. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] skllks:
don't worry about whether other upset or not. i think u did a very good job. cheers!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
1st install the flashlite that you downloaded, works fine in WM5 and WM6.

Then click itask.swf. It'll popup an "open with" dialog where you'll look for FlashLite. Be sure to check the box that says "always use this" That way flashLite will always be associated with .swf files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
RHOV23,

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Hope everything turns out alright.

Have you thought about putting your program out there opensource, or would you rather 1 person takes the reins and keep developing your program.

Even if you don't get anyone to develop it further, your program as it stands is almost perfect.

PaSSoA and I are looking at working together to make a configuration program so your program will likely continue to grow in popularity with the less savvy people

Good luck to you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
RHOV23,

Can you tell me what iTask looks for in the input.txt file. Is it just the &whatever=something&END or are the //comments used too?

Also does the order in the input.txt file matter?

I just want to make sure when I programatically rewrite the file, that all the info is stored as needed by iTask.

Thanks

AtionScript Stuck!

ActionScript stuck seems to be my only remaining issue with itask's latest release. Does anyone else get this error and when does it occur? I am no programmer but, I think if we can narrow down the causes, we might be able to point someone in the right direction. Other than that, I've got itask running as my UI with great performance and very few setbacks. Your feedback is much appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Uggeren:
I have just put iTask on my LG KS20, and install. flash lite 2.1 and then I press Itask, but when I do that my phone goes white.

What have i done wrong? :S
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tpdtopcop:
Is anyone using this on their sprint Touch phones? If so how are you updating weather and news feeds?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Flash disregards anything behind // until "break line"

The order doesn't matter at all

You can delete all //text to make it easier to just collect what you want.

All it reads is &nameofvariable=variable&END

Ah so you are going to rewrite the whole file on each change? Neat. :)

I'm going to pop in and help now and then, so just ask whatever you want:)

My mail is on my donation page, if you want to ask me something about the configure app
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Thanks man :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nheric:
Great program... thanks for your job

a suggestion : integrate a snapshot option for each application launcher

(sorry for my english)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
I've attached a program that will force the dataconnection to dial in #777

If you don't have a data package with your provider you don't want to use this, or the weather app or IExplorer for that matter.:eek:

Works fine on an HTC Touch

All you'll see when you run it is the familiar Dialing #777...

Then you can load the weather app and it'll update fine.

You will still have to disconnect your dataconnection in the commmanager as usual.

Info for those interested: It basically just requests http://google.ca , gets a response and then closes while the data connection to the net stays alive.

For those that want to move the files themselves:

Dataconn.zip is just 2 files you can put anywhere on your device and run.

They'll ask for instal permission the 1st use.

For those that want an installer:

DataconnSetup.zip is an installer you can run from windows that will install the files on your device.

You still need to make a link to it in the input.txt file and set the icon.

Hope you it works for you.

Videonut

EDIT NOTE: NEW files as of March 6 08 2:32am est
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tpdtopcop:
Videonut,

Is there a way that when you hit the update bar on the itask weather page that it can start the data connection automatically? sorta like weatherpanel or fizz weather?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neo9596:
Is there anyway to change the source about news?? I don't like yahoo.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cediesaid:
so i really want this app so bad...but im used to cabs and them installing and not having to go thourgh much of anything....seems so complicated to do what needs to be done to get this app going. do i just not have enough knowledge to consider this app or what? bcuz i download the zip and add it to my phone and i just have a bunch of files in folders that i have not a clue to do anything with. i would love to replace this with the htc home and everything....but im clueless...let m know if im hopeless or if i can actually do this. i feel like if i can flash to any rom etc i should be able to do the other things as well! lol. let me know anyone! thanks! ced
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
I don't know how, but maybe someone can figure it out. You need to start a dataconnection for RSS feeds too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tpdtopcop:
Videonut,

thanks for the input. I am not that savey with writing code or flash light to do something like that. But hopefully someone can figure it out. I really dont want to leave my connection on all the time and waste my battery life.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
What do you do when you finish surfing the web? Do you turn off your dataconnection, because WM5/6 doesn't do it for you.

You can make a link to the comm manager and turn it off there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
Crap, I used a wrong button name and then fixed it, but now I see on the button "undefine" and a "03"

Anyone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tpdtopcop:
Videonut,

I just went to google and did a little surfing and then closed out the explorer and went to comm manager and my data connection is off. So when I close my browser my data connection turns off??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
You on Sprint and using WM6 or WM6.1?

I'm on Bell and when I turn off IE my dataconnection stays alive. Would be nice if it did turn off though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mghtz:
thanks guys , i finally got it 2 work on my Touch.....having a slight problem tho....the "Stuff" icon just brings up my calander....just like the Calander icon next 2 it ; /
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaSSoA:
What's the path for mainexec1 in your input.txt? I'm looking at the default settings and it's set the same as mainexec2, which is calendar. You can change "Stuff" to something else under maintext1 and change the application to open under mainexec1. For me, I changed the text to "Write" and changed my path to the newsms.lnk which I attached

here

and this brings me straight to a new sms message.

Hope it helps :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rohanmaini:
HI

is there any way of using only the weather App from itask.

I Use ultimate launcher and would like to use a button to launch the weather app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tpdtopcop:
There is a program that you can install that will close the connection after a determined time that you set it for. I unstalled it but maybe it changed some settings in my registry.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Hi everyone

If anyone has any small invicible applications, like turn on/off data connection, I can try and implement that in weather and news.

Other small applications would also be interesting as long as they are small and doesn't have any graphical interface or huge processing need.

EDIT: The applications needs to be single .exe, not .cab

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
No. The variables are loaded through itask.swf
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
Dataconn.zip on the previous page has just a simple dataconn.exe and a http.dll. they can both be put in the iTask directory and calling the dataconn.exe will initiate the dataconnection.

It's 36 KB and the dll is 7 KB.

Don't know if everyone needs a dialer like this though, so you might need to have the original iTask and a modified iTask, or make some kind of option in the input.txt file to use it or not, that would be the best but I don't know if you can implement it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
That'd be a nice app to add to iTask.swf for those of us who need to manually shut down the data connection. I've been searching the forums and haven't run across a program like this yet but did find some reg hacks, unfortuanatly they didn't work for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] philocritus:
Itask is great!

I've used it on a magician from it's start...

It's very nice to see it here on the best forum around and getting into more and more ppc.

I've used itask for 6 months before leaving my magician and wm2k3. By that time the development was stopped and itask was just a child.

I'm using pointui and I thought there was no rival to that but again itask surprised me on that video you got there.

Congrats to Itask and it's developer on evolving!

Still my main complain(i've complained on the lakeridge foruns too lol) remains.

The install path should be on the input.txt giving us total control over itasks custumization and a way to use more memory from the storage card to improve the images quality :)

can you do that for all itask fans? pleeeeeease!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mghtz:
sweetness...thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
No because storage card isn't called the same in every language. In norwegian for example, it's called "lagringskort".

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tpdtopcop:
I have the program if you would like to try and see if it works. it does some other stuff to.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tpdtopcop:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Yes I'll have a look at it right now :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
I got an error message "sub_gettext"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tniice:
installing this app

I cannot run the set up for this app... is there a cab? please help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
Did it dial your dataconnection?

I get that once in awhile too. I didn't put any error checking in the program because it still works even with the error which is probably because google.ca didn't respond. I can clean it up a bit, but I'm going away till next Monday, so it'll have to wait abit unless I can take a look at it tomorrow b4 I leave.

If, you could implement it into iTask.swf then I can just upload the cleaned up version for everyone, but those that it works for now can get started with it.

Thanks for taking the time helping us out
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Videonut:
Sounds good. I'll pm you my email.

I too, have tinkered with something I shouldn't have and caused the "undefine" to appear on my calendar icon. How can I fix this? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] philocritus:
And can't you get the basepath from input.txt?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
it shows on mine. If you enter the phone's "last calls" program it goes to zero automatically (at zero it doesn't show)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaSSoA:
I too have "undefined" on my calendar icon, not too sure what went wrong, anyway I'll be flashing my ROM to a newer version once the cooker has uploaded it, so I'll see if the problem still persists :)

New Dataconn

Hello, I've reposted the Dataconn program in this link (page87 post 861)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1986198&postcount=861

It now includes error checking and no data is pulled from google.ca it just makes a request to their URL and closes. In doing so the dialer for the data network is initiated.All you'll see is the usual connecting to network dialing #777 box, unless you're already connected in which case nothing happens.

Again this is only for people who have a data package.

Let me know if it works for you or not.

Hopefully it will work perfectly for everyone and RHOV23 can implement it in the iTask.swf program for the weather and RSS feeds.

Sorry for asking this.... but I found this VERY FINE Program here in this forum and I'm very happy about it ... but -referring to the message above- what is meant with "the three folder" ???

I have only 1 directory (itask) in my Root-Directory (together with Windows and so on...) and that's it.

Rumoring questions in my head:

- Do I need "Morfscript" ? Why ?

- What about these "three directories" ? Do I need them ? Why ?

- Why doesn't iTask start automatically after schwitching on or resetting the PDA ? (I'm using the HTC Touch a.k.a. "Elf")

If possible...please help me :(:o:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rick GM:
You only need one directory - itask. The other 3 directories relate to an earlier version as does the need for mortscript. You do need to have FlashLite 2.1 installed for itask to work, you can find a link to it in post #896 above. I think if you want itask to start automatically you'd have to paste a shortcut of itask.swf in to \windows\startup.

@Rick GM

thanks for the explanations !

Please allow me again 1 question...I had created a link to "itask.swf" in the following folders:

\Windows\Start Menu

\Windows\StartUp

\Windows\Autorun

but instead of loading the new iTask my HTC Touch was loading the "normal" Today-Screen.... ??

Does this link to "iTask.swf" need to have a "special" name ?

obiwan
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rick GM:
obiwan: you just need to click and hold on itask.swf, select copy, open \Windows\StartUp, click and select paste shortcut. Soft reset and it will load. You don't need it in Autorun or Start Menu (which is just a list of progs that appear on your device).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] obiwan2:
Hmmm...that was what I've done, but iTask wasn't automatically loading at startup ? I don't think that it has anything to do with WM6 !?!?

I will try it today again !!

Thanks for your help !!

obiwan
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
You must be joking... :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kennae1911:
I don't think that it can load at start up that way, because you also have to click on the "server" to start the program before you click on itask.swf and flashlite.........
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tpdtopcop:
just paste a shortcut for the server in your startup so it starts before itask
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] obiwan2:
Sounds very simple....but it isn't.....

I have in the folder \Windows\Startup the following links (from top to bottom):

- poutlook

- Server (I renamed from "Shortcut to Server.lnk" to "Server.lnk", so it can (hopefully !) start before the iTask.lnk)

- Shortcut to iTask.lnk

There is nothing more in \Winodws\Startup. Is it sure, that the links "from top to bottom" where started ???

When I now boot my HTC Touch the following CAN (!!) happen:

- the screen is totally white and only the day is displayed (seems to be the date-button)

OR

- the normal Today-Screen is displayed

After resetting a few times I gave up ..... i don't know what's going wrong !

Is anyone out there who can help me ?????

I like this program and I would like to use it....if it would run without problems :(

Please apologize my bad english....I'm a german....:o:o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaSSoA:
Sometimes, when your device boots up, itask.swf doesn't get loaded properly. Could be because your device is still booting up when itask loads hence the white screen, happens to me 1 out of 5 times. Just exit and open itask again, not too sure what's the reason though.

PLZ help with setup

Guys, please help me. It's driving me crazy, i'm not able to get this running.

I've read every post in this thread, no succes. What exactly has to be done, so itask is running on my mda vario III.

I've done the following:

1. Downloaded the files itask0_92_5.zip + mortscript 4.1 + flashplayer 7

2. install flash player and do a soft reset

3. install mortscript

4. extract the itask0_92_5.zip and copy the folder "itask" to the root "/" of my mda

When I now "klick" on the itask.swf file in the itask-folder, I always get the message that no programm is associated with the file.

What I'm doing wrong? Am I to stupid for this app?

I really want to have this great itask-app running.

PLZ help

Where does it say you need flash 7? You need flash lite 2.1

tnx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Varionizer:
When I go to your link from post #10 - i will be redirected to adobes download page for flash player 7 :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaSSoA:
It is, but even then, sometimes it just doesn't open properly. At times the icons load without the background, other times only a white screen, but it's no big deal for me, b'cos I just hold the menu down and open itask.swf. Furthermore, it doesn't happen all the time for me, like a said, maybe once in five or six reboots :)

^^Flash 7 was the old version, new version requires Flash Lite 2.1 try searching within this thread, there's a link to it somewhere...

"sry 4 my poor english, need a teacher^^"

Press the "action/enter" Button (centre of the navigation on a Touch), same to go back to any previous screen in itask. Press on the digital clock on main screen to activate the big analogue clock.

Short question about iTask regarding Server.exe and iTask.swf:

Is it possible to use Mortscript to start Server.exe first and, after that, iTask.swf ???

I'm asking this because I really don't know Mortscript :(

My last test had the following effects:

- Soft-Reset of the HTC Touch

- after showing the boot-logo the screen was completely white for about 2 seconds

- Screen changed to the normal Today-Theme

- Screen changed to iTask partially....that means: with white border at the right and left side of the screen

Isn't there a possibility to guarantee (!) the start of

1st: Server.exe

2nd: iTask.swf

??? :confused: ???

If one of the users here on the board have the HTC Touch (Elf) and iTask fully running without any problem, then please let us/meknow, which ROM you are using !!! Maybe there are the differences why this funny prog is running fine on one PDA and not at the other....
