Totally Lost!

I agree with kennae as another Mogul user. We noobies need to have step by step instructions on how to use complex programs such as this. I've read over 17 pages in this forum until my eyes were cross and burning for a lack of sleep...trying to come up with answers to my issues. But it seems that most people get it but me and maybe keenae. So I'm lost and totally confused on what I'm doing wrong.

Here are a few of my issues:

1) I downloaded alpha5.5.zip from Lakeridgesoftware.com and while reading through the threads there I happen to came across iTask Animated 0.92 link to here. My question is: which version of itask am I suppose to be using. Both has the same files with the exception of itaskmort folder and a few others?

2) I've placed my itask folder and itask.exe (0.92v) in my main device (ie \) as suggested, however when I make changes in the itasktext (ie. weather) nothings happens to the program (and yes I stop and restart itask and still nothing.) Its as if itask isn't link too any of the folders so any changes I make doesn't affect it. Does itask.exe suppose to be in the same fol

der as itasktext for it to work?

3) How do I change/load icons for the applications, settings and games screens? When I use loadani nothing happens to link anything together.

4) How do I keep itask from disappearing after executing a file or program. For some reason I have to continously restart the program over and over again. Is there a way of set it as permanent today screen?

5) What is the purpose to Mortscript, does it suppose to be use to link all itask together or is it a standalone??

Last but not least...

6) Was itask suppose to be used with Wisbar Advance Desktop or is this is something totally different??

Sorry so lenthy, but I told you I had a few issues.

BTW I think itask is AWESOME!! :) I can't wait until its working right on my phone!

Lost and totally confused!

Almost everything on 0.91 is working according to feedback. Read the manual
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
I don't really see the bug/problem here. This is a work in progress app. Use the newest version and disregard the old. And read the manual :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
There is a problem with loadani.exe. It's Janus's fault(the compiler), because it doesn't want to shut down properly (it's lingering in the background). If you have this problem, kill the janus and flash process. If you don't have this problem the bottom of the screen on loadani will say screen captured and your picture will be saved to the appropriate loadani. If you have this problem even though it does say screen captured you've installed itask to the wrong directory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] star-star:
I love your itask,but only one thing bother me, when itask is running,the other app can not run normally,Pocketcm can not load the contact list,S2P cant not be loaded,icontact scrolling is not smooth.

You must have a slow device dude :(

If it's ok with rhov23, I started a new thread so that we can all help each other with configuration on our devices. It is here ->>>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=371891 Maybe if we all have the same devices, together we might be able to eventually put together the perfect configuration.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Thank you! Feel free to post bugs on my itask thread, or ideas, but yes, I'm pretty tired of those "how do I make a button/lnk" questions.

So thank you again for your initiative! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] phonepad:
Wow... I am very hyped with itask and have eaglery worked my way through 66 pages of this thread... I installed the latest version available on page 1 on 20. Feb.. Everything works fine and I am using S2UL as a looking software. Interacts fine. (ETEN Glofiish M700 / WM5 ! ;-))

I have only one issue: When I for example would like to change the application behind the first top right button that says WRITE how do I go about it.

I ahve tried to add &mainexec1=.. with a path of the app I d like to have, but I still get keyboard with the spider....

Would anyone have an idea how to get a link/button function to connect/disconnect GPRS ???

Rhov. I dont want to be a pain. I do get all other buttons and applications linked. Its just this special one that wont change.

Cheers

Paddy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slimshadee:
I think rhov23 will provide this functionality (at least partly) in 0.92. You can't change the built-in application icons (such as write, calc, etc.) in 0.91.

As far as creating a link file (.lnk) for data connection (GPRS)....I am interested in the same. I know there is a way to do this.

Is there a way to keep the weather and news updated without syncing it to the computer? I noticed that when you attempt to update the weather without it being attached to active sync, the weather screen goes black...

I feel like an idiot. Can someone please explain how to actually launch this app? It put the folder in the root, but how do you actually launch it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sidewayz:
Go to adobe.com and get flashlite 2.1. Install it, you will get a cab from them. WHen its installed go to your root of your device, find the itask folder

open it, and then open the itask.swf

The program is now open.

Good luck, Chris
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rickytr23:
like this

copy and paste. copy the pictures in black itask theme and paste them in the itask folder:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sidewayz:
He said program to open making me think he couldn't get itask to work. If he cant get the them to work do what ricky said.

Chris
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] grandpareza:
My problem may be from somewhere else. I installed the cab and I get an error message when opening itask.swf saying there is no file associated with it. Odd. I'm 150% positive I installed the flash cab.

I have the flash bundle for TCPMP, might that have anything to do with this?

Thank you both for your help. Any other ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sidewayz:
Flash for internet explorer, and flash lite are different.

Search

flashlite2_1_winmobile5_sp

in google. That is the cab file you need, its around 800 k, or just register on adobe and grab it.

Settings Apps after loading DCD Rom

Has anyone been successful in loading the settings applications.

iTask 0.92 released

iTask 0.92 released!

New in this version: lotsa stuff

-Remember 2 things:

-Run server.exe before starting itask.swf. You can close itask.swf and server.exe will still be running in background waiting for itask.swf to open again so you can retrieve contactlist, unread sms count etc.

-Icons are now png. I've added a template for photoshop so you can modify and make new icons, or you can use the additional icons I've added.

And as always: Give me your first thoughts please :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
happy to see you back with a new release. i will test it now !

when you say "icons are now png" : can we still use jpeg if we want to ?

and i have 1 request for the next version : would be nice to have also 2 pages of icons for the games and why not also for your igames ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TacoLoco:
cool I'm testing it right now looks very good!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trjons:
Do we download and install ALL the files in post 1 to update or just the .92 folder?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
you remove all potentially previous versions of itask folder from your device (or rename them, for example "itaskold or itask091" it should work) and you copy the new version (0.92) of itask folder on your device root, just naming the folder "itask" then you can create a shortcut for your itask.swf file and place it in your windows/startmenu foldr
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Yes, you can still use jpg, swf, gif (not animated) but you must make the transparency yourself - or - if you have a black background you can of course use black background on your jpgs as well for fake transparency :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
What do you think about the new games? the graphics are not fully done yet btw.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Yesssss! Rhov i've been waiting for this dude, let you know what I get. Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
First run here and noticed my email count was on my navi icon not email, and I like that the calender is live.

Also not displaying vm count.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
1st "bug" but not really important : the news "applet" :

no problem for english rss news but for french news (possibly other languages also) it doesnt work with accents (à, é, è, î, ....) look at the screenshot :

perhaps it was like this on the previous 0.91, i didnt test it.

can you fix this for the next version ?

i continue my tests.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Yes, I just put it there. Is it placed correctly on the icons (like the other?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
I'll see what i can do. It's strange, because I use device fonts, not "flash-fonts"

can you give me the adress to the rss?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
also another problem i previously described in the iprogs tetris game : dpad moves are not continuous, like in the pingpong game for example where if i keep dpad "right" pressed the bar continues to move right until it hits the wall.

In tetris, one press right = "one collum move" only :( even if i keep it pressed.

and it is annoying for a tetris game to press several times to make a block move quicker. also there is no "instant drop" by pressing dpad "down" : it is usefull ;)

more to come.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
That is a speed issue actually. The games are using the speed of the main menu, and that is way too fast for most games. I will find a way to override that. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Yeah it's aligned very well maybe make bubble a bit bigger for 2 digit numbers, I edited my post, I don't see me vm count, I did a soft reset, still only see email count.

Love the soccer game, I see it being quite addicting, simple yet fun, and rubiks cube was cool, didnt completely understand top right image. Not to mention that new tetris background is awesome.

All in all still messing with it, have configuring to do.

Should there be a command line for the locking app, or can add a line in?

Is it possible to rearrange the iProgs menu?

Don't want to sound picky, but I believe these were options in the prev version.

I appreciate your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Thanks! Have i forgot the command for the locking app? *Checking*

No it's there under mainexec links:

&devicelock=\windows\calculator.exe&END

The top image on rubiks is the sides you don't see :)

Iprogs has not and will not be editable :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
OK, sorry I'm an idiot, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kennae1911:
I'm an idiot, but so what...........what is server.exe?? where do i locate it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Aren't we all :D

Thanks for commenting :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
it's a file and it's located in itask folder.

It's like turning on a stove for cooking up information about unread/unanswer/contacts

Everything is located in itask folder

loadani???

I've attempted to use loadani a couple of times unsuccessfully. I then deleted the preloaded images and tried again with no success. Am I missing a step or is there a trick?

<<EDIT>>

Figured it out. Thanks for a terrific application.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
sorry. herre it is :

http://www.pcinpact.com/include/news.xml

perhaps i have an idea of the problem : you said you use device fonts. ok but i think you have an english htc.

my htc has a french rom, french keyboard....

perhaps it is not exactly the same fonts ? and if you set up your ppc in french language+keyboard (if possible) do you have the same problem ?

but i have no idea of how to solve this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
I found out that it is a flash problem. But I'm not sure if I will be able to solve this. The fix isn't until flash 8 (flash lite 3) and we have only flash 7 (Flash lite2) on ppc.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
ok so lets wait and hope .

what about my request for multipage sliding in (i)/games like you did in apps ? do you think you will make it ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Yes probably, just haven't bothered to do it yet. So many new commands to rewrite.

great app!! but, can someone please make a config tool for it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwill:
is the stuff button supposed to actually launch and show the number of unread sms? thats what is preconfigured and mine does nothing. i get the apploading pic i put in then goes back to the main screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
It's linked to the unread.swf, just loaded it and it gave me the unread number count on the screen only, but I think that spot is for the app of your choice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vboyz103:
So far this is the BEST iphone alike replacement I've seen. I've tried numerous of iphone alike and didn't like any of those except for this one. What a great piece of software, and thanks OP for the release.

Currently, you have to take snapshot of your application and assign to the button when it's launch. The problem is, many apps have many different screens for different users. So what I suggest is that can we make 1 generic screen saying something like "Loading..." for each application to load and show that instead of the screenshot of the app? That way, it is much more managable then taking screenshots and configure it into the input.txt.

Again thanks OP for a great release, and this is just intime for my HTC Home-ish replacement. Kind of tired of HTC Home though!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] d1rtyd33z:
hahaha

HAHA!

Looks like we are making progress... It would still be nice if we could remove/change ALL of the buttons, create new "walls", etc. I realize that this is a lot more work code wise, but in the end it is a much more usable app in my opinion.

Any ideas on how to replace HTC Home with this nice app?

Is there a way to remove the damned spider in "write"? my wife is Arachnophobic, and, you see...

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
for everyone asking for the same thing :

itask is still in dev. and changing/improving fast.

so perhaps you should wait for the final version before asking someone to work on an easy config tool that may not work on the next "beta" release ????

it is not so difficult to read and modify the settings and to make a personalised itask.

just my opinion.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
Hahahahaha!

Yes actually! delete spider.swf
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
It's just stuff :)

You can place whatever you want for mainexec1 in input.txt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
You cannot configure screenshots in input.txt. Only the loading time (how long the screenshot will stay on-screen if the program takes long time or not)

If you want to change the screens you can replace the screenshot files with your own. Just use the same name. I'll think more on how to make it easier.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaSSoA:
Wow! Downloading now, anyway just want to share with everyone that whilst waiting for the new version, I actually tried FreestlyWM, it has a pretty nice config tool where you can select the icon you want to use from a drop down list and also you can search the path of your application you want to be linked.

However, between itask v0.91 and FreestlyWM, itask runs so much faster and better, and this is on my 416mhz processor, I can't imagine how it'll run on any other slow devices. One thing I found very useful was the notification counter, where unread msgs and missed calls are, and that the program always stays open, even if you press the end key.

Glad that the new version has the counters as well, will try it later. But I'm wondering if it's possible for itask to be open all the time? I want to use it as my main UI, and hopefully never have to see the awful WM Today screen again :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
The loading time on iTask is pretty fast. On my device it uses only a little over a second to load. Not many wm apps that does that. It's actually open after the end key, but I'm not really sure how to switch back without reopening it.

I've heard it runs fast on slower devices.

Thanks
