Ok! I know but when I use itask only for my desktop. I must use softkey >>>Start Itask (Cant start itask from menu start:()
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Yzord:
Works great, only problem is that some apps dont work. i pushthe button of it and what i see first is some danish language and then it goes back to today screen. With MSN messenger i have the screen of the maker of iTask incl. some contacts.

I looks very nice, but it has to be shaved on the edges ;)

Hello rhove

Do you have a manual for beginners ;:)))) Please
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itr325:
What is the country code format fot US zipcodes??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eddytheeagle:
:eek: This is freaking amazing :eek:

What a great app! I just installed it and it works like a charm. VERY GOOD WORK!!!

I'll test it the next couple of days and will come back with feedback after that. Please, keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] argov:
Very nice app.

love to see where it's going, you need to spend some time and creat a customizations tool.

working fast with Sprint touch.

(if you need help packing the all thing with cab, just let me know :-))
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Check yahoo
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Have itask folder on your computer

Open input txt with notepad.

then you can run itask.swf with standalone flash app for Windows XP/Vista

to check your updates.

Much faster than editing on ppc
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
I'll try and get time to make a little manual.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] argov:
I has talking about a "tool" for end users.

here is a cab file for iTask, Install dir is /iTask and shortcut to Programs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
That's very nice :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] max-es:
@rhove 23

Great, thanks Fine.Then I had bigger chances ;-))
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ancola66:
Shortcut to Programs, that is I need:D. Thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
iTask manual added. :)

If there is something that needs to be added, please let me know
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] The_Tech_Ninja:
I used the manual, its great for first time users.

But i still need help with the loadani.exe

:-\
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] argov:
Not to offend you and your work but, the people that can modify and work with the text file don’t need the help file, the problem is with the people that can’t.

In order to make your app successful you need to create a GUI base configuration tool.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Well the post above yours, proves you wrong.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] argov:
ok :),

Again, very nice app, good start.

Good luck.

Hello, i am using a Htc Polaris and installed flashlite 2.1 and Itask.

but..only get a black screen with the date when i start Itask :confused:

Anyone?

Thx

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tekerey:
I ve tried version 09.1, it works much faster than an older version, but there are a few problems.

In the “settings” page, near “free ram”, “storage” is empty. I mean there is no any information about RAM, storage, just empty place.

And in the “apps” page there is no “Appstext”, places where usually was names of apps is empty too.

On the older version everything was OK. I’m using Samsung i710 (qvga display & windows mobile

5.0). Sorry for my terrible English, i wrote this text with the dictionary (I’m from Ukraine)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] udaykarmarkar77:
great app

can you add multipage with a 4x4 +4 larger icon set as an option
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
No sorry :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightmare JG:
Aw, the new version won't work with WM2003. Unless there is a version of Flash Lite for 2003 somewhere I'm missing.

I tried it with the official standalone player for flash 6, it ran okay, but I wouldn't start programs, and it was unable even to shut itself down, I had to soft-reset.

Any chance you can look into making it compatible with 2003 again? Surely I'm not the only person still using the trusty old OS.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slimshadee:
Flash light does have a 2003 version. Check Adobe's website.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightmare JG:
Where can I download it? I checked all over the place, but adobe doesn't seem to have a download link. I tried google, came up with nothing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dawkness:
will this work on my treo (240x240)? very frustrating when asking for help and no receive. U answer everyone but mine. Just yes or no
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
240x320 only. It will be scaled too small on your screen
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
No flash lite on 2003
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dawkness:
thanks bro
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bridic:
From what I see I like it a lot.

I am going to make the plung and give this a shot.

I hope the manual is really dumbed down for me.

Just a thought but maybe a few can post there input.txt file and some screen shots.

If not, I guess I will get it completed by trial and error.

Thanks again for all your work on this app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] b.mann:
I keep getting the screenshots of whatever your original settings were when I click an icon, how can I get rid of them?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rde34:
Reply:

I think the instructions for loading proper screenshots are on the first page of this post. There is a program included in this program that takes the screenshot and replaces the old ones. Good luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrpiggae:
...so I installed Flash Lite and spent the last hour or so customizing it to my device, and I have to say that this is one beautiful app. Nice and smooth, great animations, cool built in flash games...loving it much. Took quite a bit of tinkering to get everything where I wanted it, but am very happy with the result (besides, I'm a hopeless tinkerer anyway).

I set this up with fTouchFlo to launch with an upswipe. No more cube for me...this has taken over as my eye-candy launcher program. Hell, I'm actually going to leave it up and use it as my main home screen for now.

Thanks a bunch! Great work.

RSS Feed Links

Rhov23, I was able to change the feeds but when I click to read the whole story I get an error," 'The file'http://www.msnbc.com/id/23232655/' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problen persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." I cannot determine if this is a problem with my device or an issue that others have experienced. Other than that, I think your application is tremendous work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanjie:
Thanks for the dummy manual. Would like to request a feature: missed call and new SMS displays on the main menu.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slimshadee:
I am going to plea to you to at least consider a future version of this interface without any of the .swf apps you have developed included. It could be released as a second, stand alone option of iTask, for those of us who love the slick interface but don't need the calc, write proggy, and other .swf games and apps you have included. This will give much more flexibility to the user.

I know you are hesitant to code iTask in a way that the inherent apps may or may not be used, but a stand-alone version without the apps included or available at all wouldn't change the input.txt syntax at all, only add a few more lines for those program calls currently used by your included apps.

I beg of you, please consider this alternative. I, among others (I am sure), want to have a choice as to the applications that best suit our needs. iTask provides a neat, organized user experience to get to the programs we use everyday. Please don't clutter it with widgets that some may never need or use.

Thanks.

shadee
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
slimshadee : i don't think it would be very usefull what you sugest because if i understood well, each of us can modify the input.txt to personalise the program by removing the swf apps and replace them by another apps more useful for one's particular needs.

the only difference would be te size of the zip to download ?

but perhaps i'm wrong ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slimshadee:
Therein lies the problem. We currently CANNOT edit input.txt to eliminate the built-in .swf programs. I am asking for version to be released without ANY of the .swf apps included. This way, if I want the tired Windows Solitare program instead of rhov23's .swf version, I can use it without burning up another precious icon. Right now, there at least 5 or 6 icons I will never use in this interface, because someone else has developed more functional, better programs for MY use. For example, Windows Live Search provides a faster, more feature filled satellite/mapping application than iSat. I won't use iSat; but iTask currently REQUIRES me to have it installed and taking up screen space.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
not very important at all : i have to complain about the included swf tetris game : on my orange m3100 the dpad directions are not "continuous" i have to press several times on right or left to make the pieces go in any directions.

"one press = one collumn move only"

and also, if pressed "down", the piece do not fall directly but keep going down slowly.

but on another included swf game (pingpong) the dpad is better used : if i keep pressed on right : the bar continues to move right

hope you understand my english. great program you've done here. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dc_striker:
You know what would be great an exe for making changes
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] optoson:
this might sound real dumb, but everytime I click on something from my HTC mogul, I dont know what to click to go back to the main itask screen. Also, what is the method of having the program start automatically? I have to go in the \ folder and open itask.swf myself if I want to launch the program.

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slimshadee:
1. Center D-Pad button to go back to main menu from submenus or close .swf included applications (Tetris, etc.).

2. To start the interface from device startup, copy a link (.lnk file) for iTask.swf to your \windows\startup\ folder. I use Total Commander to create and copy the link. Soft reset your device and it will start iTask at boot.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shoae:
The cab file is advantage to use.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slimshadee:
How hard is it to edit a text file? The beauty of this program is you can configure it all on your desktop PC with flash loaded in IE. This way you can test your edits. (This is especially helpful when changing icons to preview how they look before loading to the PPC).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hcbrown1:
The upgrade is great. Much faster and smoother. The loadani program is great! Very nice. Makes getting the screenshot super easy.

Looking forward to where this may go!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] d1rtyd33z:
itask main menu

I agree with slimshadee that the apps on the main screen should be configurable. I want to use Pocket Notes instead of your notes.swf file for mainexec1 but I was unable to alter the main menu via the input.txt file. Maybe I am missing something...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
No it will be changed in the next version probably.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Thank you ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
iProgs will stay, it's part of iTask. However the buttonlinks on main screen may be editable next time except, iProgs buttonlink. So this is how it's going to be.

Poll:

Do you want to lose the calculator, weather, news on main screen?

I sure don't.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
very nice if we can personalise some more icons.

for the iprogs : do you also create the swf programs used here or do they come from other people? and since they are external flash files, can we replace them by other swf progs with the same filenames ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
It's not that easy. They may be loaded, but some will not be unloaded (then you need an unloadmovienum (1) or something.

The other thing is that this is flash lite. So all flash 7/6/5/4 files won't work. You may end up throwing away a lot of time if you don't test all the time to see if it works in flash lite

-Some flash that is used is modified open source, and most is self made. Weather, news, solitaire(with help),draw, write, calc, credits, breaker(90%),snake(50%)

timer(70%) iSat(40%) was made by me. (%= how much was written by me approx. rest of % is open source) The rest by me as well :)

Do you know flash?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaSSoA:
Great app! Downloaded and installed it, followed all instructions to edit the input.txt, working great! Added .lnk so that it goes directly into my SMS inbox and another that writes a new SMS.

I attached the lnk, just save it on your ppc and link it properly in your input.txt. Also included are 2 swf saved as jpg for the screenshots, I didn't really want a screen shot of the application but rather a simple "Opening" and "Loading" screen, just rename them.

I'm no graphics designer so the graphics are pretty simple, but it serves my purpose :)

Very impressed by the apps you made yourself, iprog should remain, I like it alot. Anyway there are many links available for our own applications, I don't think I have used more than 10 buttons in the Apps menu so far.

As a to-do feature, having the missed calls and sms notification would really be useful, now I have to still either exit iTask or go to the missed calls using the dialer shortcut.

Also, is there a way that we can modify the movements of the icons when they appear and disappear, now it seems to move away, but it would be cool if other animations are possible.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaSSoA:
^Just copy itask folder to your ppc where your program files and windows directory is.

Flash Lite 2.1 WM6 ?

Hello,

First, great work, keep the good job !!!;)

Second, a newbe question ... :confused:

I read the first page and i need to install in my TOUCH CRUISE the Flash Lite 2.1

I see in some website that the flash lite 2.1 in is compatible with WM5 version.

TOUCH CRUISE is WM6

Is there a version of flash lite for WM6 ? or the version 2.1 is also good for the WM6 ?

A link would help from where do download the Flash Lite (WM6)

Thank you

Tamir
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] windjohnson:
First, Thank You for this really great program!

boy, I have to say this is the best one I've ever seen that's come so close to iphone interface.

it really looks nice, and very smart for the magnifying program picture thing!

But still, I have a few suggestions for you, and some might have been mentioned before and I don't know quite well since your program is so popular and there are 55 pages!

1. I think it would be so much better if you can make the program capture the pictures by itself. (something like, I've already set the shortcut link, and your program sense that it's the first time I start this shortcut and there's no picture, so the program takes it automatically.)

2. Make the configuration more graphical. Remember! A perfect and good looking interface like iphone never requires opening anything like a text file to configurate anything! It's always Graphics! Graphics! Graphincs!

3. I believe it's the most important one and a lot of people might have told you this already. Make the program not flash, since it comes with some natural disadvantages.

Again, thank you very much for all your hard work! I'm really looking forward to the release off the V1.0!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slimshadee:
My Opinions (since you are polling):

Main Screen:

In the top 2 Rows of Icons:

Lose everything (write, calc, news, weather), even though the Weather and news are kind of cool. I would rather have flexibility to change these if I find something nicer.

Lower icons:

Keep Settings...This will be very cool when functional.

iProgs:

If you must keep it, I understand (do I have a choice? lol). It will give a consise location for the swf apps.

Thanks for considering those of us who like to tweak...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Thank you for your comment. My problem is that I haven't made the OS like apple has with iPhone. Everything is integrated. This is just a "shell" over wm

Not flash? I don't even know how to program net or c++.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Wow! I just rounded 2000 downloads on this version!

Fixes that have been done for next release so far:

-Changeable paths to buttonimages. Now you can have jpg/png/gif/swf loaded as buttons. Transparent pngs with sharper image.

-New templates for buttons.

-Fixed month bug in weather

-Tetris snes look
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TacoLoco:
I really like the iProgs and the calc and all the other good things on the main screen but if it were fully customizable this would be even better ;) anyway this launcher is the future.. go for it!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
i have a suggestion :

for some users like me, 20 shortcuts to programms may be not enough, so would it be possible to add a "slide function" in the area on the bottom of the screen (to bring another "page" with 20 more icons for example.

look at the picture, the area colored in red.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Hehey I was just thinking the same :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rockness724:
More Options: iProgs?

.....I agree, this app is the future. Absolutely love all of the development and how it works!!!! Thank you for putting in the time for this.

Just one question though, why are we not allowed to customize our "iProgs" and other button options?

I would love to have the option to put other programs on this screen, and when you remove the text and the button image, a slightly dark spot remains in the location on the screen where the iProg would have been?!?!? Any way to remedy this?

Keep up the great work!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Thanks!

iProgs is part of iTask (you must remember that I make this for myself as well, and the second thing is that it's very hard to set up a change from loading swf internally and exe externally, totally different commands)

The dark spot is the shadow underneath every button. This will be removed in next release, as I now have set up support for jpg/swf/gif/png buttons. You can then use any filename that you want for the different buttons, and any shape for the buttons. You can even use swf animations in buttons if you like that!

Thanks again for your comment
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rockness724:
....geez!!!! I thought I was impressed enough already! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CEParah:
Wow, this is so cool!

Wow, I am so impressed! :) What an incredible interface. Thank you so much for all of your hard work on this. I can't even imagine how long this has taken you to develop.

I have been using the htc homeplug but I still have to go through the start menu at times. ITask will make getting to all of my stuff much easier once I have it all configured.

A few requests:

- The same as some others have mentioned, Missed Calls, SMS and Message count on main page

- Photo dialer page (the main reason I like the homeplug is for the big clock and the photo dialer

- Finger scrolling in your contacts, minical, news reader, etc.

- A way to increase font size in the news reader (I didn't look in the input.txt for this.)

I also agree that having an easier way to customize it would make it more attractive.

Just my two cents...Oh, and I have it on a Sprint Mogul running WM 6.

Thanks again, I think I'm in LOVE!!!!!

Thanks for the quick update really love the speed and visuals on it.

Two questions:

1. How can I get this to run @ startup? I set both Flash Lite and the swf file in the folder but only saw the date and day of week.

2. Is it possible to have S2U2 run as the device locking app?

Thanks in advance! Keep up the great work, can't waitfor final release!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mozer:
Fantastic

I installed it yesterday, everythig is ok! fantastic job!

I only miss notifications for new sms/missed calls on the first page and photo dialer page!

I'm a real noob, but customizations using input.txt was really simple! :D

Great job!!
