I just release the second shot of PocketCM Calendar.

It doesn't do that much yet, but should allow you to browse through your calendar using your finger, add, edit and delete event.

Lot of things are still to come, and lot of things will change, but as always, I choose to share with you the early version of this application.

Added the opportunity to delete events (stay pressed on an event a menu will appear

Added GSync tool, synchronize Windows Mobile Calendar with Google Calendar (two way, do not support recurence) - this is a separate exe

Bug fixes: people crashing at start should now be able to use it

Synchronize with Google Calendar

Just run GSync.exe

Provide user/pass

Click "start" (or refresh)

The list of calendar should appear, select those you want to synchronize

Hit start, that should be it

If you want to add an event to google calendar, simply create one (using PocketCM Calendar or any other app) and give it the right category

Feature to come:

- More calendar view

- Remove event

- Recurring event support

- Synchronize with Google Calendar

- Better performance

- ...

As this application is build on top of PocketCM Framework, it's fully customizable, however, be patient, the internal will change a lot, so I'm not providing any infomration yet.

as always to get it: www.pocketcm.com

Very nice - your pocket cm is a must have for me, and looks like the calendar will be another

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] surur:
Finally some-one doing a calender !!! Hallelujah!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sandworm:
Great!! Along with the google cal sync, could you consider supporting a generic ical import? I have problems trusting google with ALL of my data so I keep my calendar on my own server.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pirlone:
great initiative!

can't run the progie... when I start the app, for a sec or two I can see the month view but immediatly after that program closes it self?!?

wm6.1 rom here...

rgs,

pirlone
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
No,

but as I'm using the standard WM calendar database, any synching program that work should do the job.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pi3ch:
Go work man! :)

It needs better skin and color combination.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the0ne:
give the man some time mate ;) , this should b another killer application like the Pocket CM Contacts and Keyboard
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kennae1911:
looks like the thumbcal (which I am currently using).....I can't wait to see your finished product!! Keep up the good work dude!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MonteCristoffOn:
Furtive app ? Any solution ?

Thanks tene, great job for what we can see here...

But I got the same problem as pirlone :(

Running on WM 6.0...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
It seems you have an appointment that is bugged or has something special, how many appointment do you have in your calendar? is there something special about them?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ceecee10:
Will this application run on WM5. I have a T-mobile MDA with original rom. I have the PocketCM keyboard and contact.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MonteCristoffOn:
Nothing special... tene.

No appointment today, the two next are for monday...

I've just tried your Calendar with the HTC Stock ROM : same issue...

?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dark Knight:
You da man!!!!

Tene... You never fail to impress me. I only became a WM user 3 weeks ago and you have already acheived godly status!

I'd be happy to donate when this project matures.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] grodi:
Tene, do you read my mind? I'm worried about it.

How do you do to come up always with the program I feel is missing in my Touch?

I use OtO so far as my calendar, but I'm afraid the project is stopped.

I do declare myself your number 1 fan

And, once again, I will donate to support this new "must have"

Keep going!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Is there any possibility that you send me your pim.vol (I guess you've a clean one after installing the HTC Stock ROM) ? I'd like to be able to reproduce, but for me it always worked.

Regarding mind reading, let's say I'm also a user ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] surur:
Just made a small donation, which I hope will give my idea a bit more consideration.

Can you please make a floating box, much like you have one the PCMKeyboard, which list the days appointments a you slide your finger over the day.

Secondly, when you tap on the day in the month view, can the app default to adding or editing the appointment.

I dont know if you ever used PalmOS, but their calender had the great feature of letting you add simple appointments directly to the day view.

I feel this is a much more intuitive and useful way to add appointments, and then to click on an edit button to add categories, alarms etc.

Surur
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudist:
Same problem as MonteCristoffOn

Hi tene,

Same for me here on an ASUS P535 WM6pro.

Program starts but shut down afther 2 sec. I could see the day view for one sec...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I am sure you are hearing this stuff everywhere but could you consider a scroll wheel for appointment adds?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MonteCristoffOn:
:D

Here it is...

with a PM to use it.

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ennoinfo:
Proggi future :)

Program starts but shut down afther 2 sec. I could see the day view for one sec...

could it be because of pointui? i'm having it and i know montecristoffon is a big fan too ;)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TorxT3D:
OH MY GAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

tene is THEEE GREATEST!!!

i would like to see such a simplified internal event editor thats not so cumbersome like the windows mobile calendar event editing..

i wanna be able to jot down a note for a day without having to select specific times and have a swipe over like surur mentioned.

something created very similar to rainlender on the pc

tene you have ALOT on your plate :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MonteCristoffOn:
Of course not, pirlone...

I've tried it with or without PointUI, same issue :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] egzthunder1:
You've done it again tene. Downloading now...

BTW, I am glad that you did not take Slither's initiative ;) You scared me back there when you suggested stopping development of this app.

All in all, way to go!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] silverpal:
Does this program work on WM5? I tried running it on my HTC Prophet running WM5, but get an error message:

The file "Calendar" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.

PocketCM and PocketCM Image viewer works fine on the same device tho.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KamaL:
Thank tene for this release... I remember asking you for such an application, and I'm really glad you did it :)

Works fine on my Trinity WM6.

Now we only need a black theme :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] egzthunder1:
Same Here. The second while it is opened, it looks awesome though :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudist:
Maybe the problem ?

Hi Tene,

When I start your program... it is not showing the month but :

header.calender.text

Maybe it has something to do with our french (Calendrier) version of WM6?

So maybe it must be for us frenchies:

header.calendrier.txt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Blowfish64:
I also second the swipe over that surur mentioned.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Imanoltxo:
Me too.

I have the same problem (kaiser with rom in spanish).

Good job tene.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Imanoltxo:
appointmen

Hello tene:

in my kaiser I have 1500 thousand appointment and not have special things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Imanoltxo:
Fabuloso

The floating box is a great, great idea.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
In a classic PC interface, I completely agree, it would be great, but in a "touch interface", I don't think it would work well: how to distinguish between scrolling and showing this status? it would work well when the finger is in the middle down part of the screen, otherwise the feedback would be hidden by your finger.

The main difference is in the fact that you need to press in order to produce something on a touch interface. On a desktop pc, there are two different thing: moving the mouse, and pressing it.

Don't worry about this kind of issue, it's related to the way pocketcm framework work, for those who know pocketcm's theming, they already know they can put a settings.ini file containing "header.calendar.text=TOTO" to replace this label with TOTO. But again, it's the very first release, if I were you I wouldn't waste my time on such detail, the main aspect that need testing:

- Does it work on your device

- Do you see all your appointment

- Are the performance correct (for instance month scrolling is a bit too slow on my device).

- Does it crash.

The color, image, skin, layout, text and other cosmetic stuff are not primary concern for now, it's important, but I prefer to focus on making something stable and usable first... and I clearly don't want to make a very nice, localized, beautiful calendar, that lack some basic feature.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Blowfish64:
Don't see why you think that'd be a problem. Just have it show up when you hold down for 250ms or something. You've done that for numerous other features in PocketCM (holding down on contact to go to edit screen, holding down on SMS to mark as read, etc.) and Keyboard (hold down on a key brings up a number of other selections). So you could hold down on a day, the box would show up, then you could drag your finger around to other days. When you release, the box goes away. That wouldn't affect gestures at all, because you'd have to hold down first. So, swipe scrolls (though I hope this isn't how it's going to stay since I think a horizontal slide would be much better for a calendar program), tap goes to the day screen, and hold shows the box. Not sure why that would be problematic.

As for the feedback being hidden by the finger... meh. I don't think that's a big deal. I can just move my finger if I really can't see it.

In addition, you could have the box show up by default for a couple of seconds when using the D-pad since obviously there would be no gesture issues there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] surur:
Great idea - a quick swipe would scroll, and tap and hold would pop up the floating list box, and would then allow you to scroll around the current dates displayed. Single tap could take you to the combination day view/ appointment entry screen (like in PalmOS), with an extra edit screen for more complex functions such as categories, recurrence and alarms.

Surur
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
All that instead of simply one tap that doesn't force you to stay on the screen? I don't see the added value here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AlternaGirl:
This may be more trouble than it's worth, and if so, just ignore me but I've been looking for a way to sync my calendar on myspace with Google Cal/Outlook, really ANY other calendar out there for quite awhile now. I've googled it to no end and found no solution. I know the myspace calendar is quite weak compared to all the other online calendars, but as a promoter it's the easiest way to keep my friends updated on all my shows and such. If anyone can figure out how to do this, I got $5 on it haha. Anyone else? I'm probably the only myspace user here :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] agentmikeyd:
This is huge for this already great calendar idea - plz include this floating box!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MaxMotus:
Skin tastic!

MM :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] surur:
Imagine the usage scenario. You open the app, its in the month view of the current month. You want to check what you are doing next week. You tap and hod on that row, and slide your finger along the week. Because only a small part of the screen changes (the floating list box) the screen remains uncluttered, and the interface appears elegant and advanced.

You identify a day when you are free at lunch. You tap on that day, that opens up a day view. You tap on the 12:00 to 1:00 slot, the keyboard pop up and you type "Lunch with Jane" and slide back to the calender view. You are not an advanced user, and you dont use categories, or alarms for most of your appointments, so you have saved a lot of taps already by being able to type directly into the day list view. If you wanted to add those you can tap on the edit button, which would bring you to the advanced screen, where you would be able to fine-tune the dates, times, categories, location, recurrence, attendees, invites and all the functionality most of us never use.

The end result is for most operations and for most people a lot of taps are saved, and the interface remains uncluttered and elegant. Also multiple screens create the impression of complexity, and reduces the discoverability of the interface.

BTW, this is how I envision the day view.

Notice the lack of a "New" button. Just tapping and holding on a line would pop up the keyboard and bring up a cursor to allow you to start entering an appointment.

Surur
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scottmail:
I also have the problem of it closing in 2 sec. But from what I see it works nicely.

I feel like the months should swipe from left to right or vise versa...it just feels wierd going up and down. The floating box is a good idea.

Tene, you know what users want!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theme freak:
It doesn't work at all on my VGA phone :( any idea?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Blowfish64:
The added value is that when you hold down to show the box, you could drag it around to all the other days that have appointments instead of tapping one day, going to the day screen, tapping the back button, tapping another day, going to that day screen, tapping back, tapping yet another day, etc. I think the box idea is a much more efficient and elegant solution if you just want to quickly view what's going on on a given day rather than editing it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Same here tene, closes after 2secs, don't even get a chance to try anything.

Edit: also like this idea of tap&hold

PPC 6700 w/WM6
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
will be fixed in 0.2
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
0.2 is up, should be working fine now (thanks MonteCristoffOn !)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] imfloflo:
How Gsync run ? Does it add google calendar to outlook calendar ??Cause i use 2 ical calendar in google calendar and i would like to see this on my PDA.

edit: On my outlook i have to ical calendar syncrhoniez but i can't see them on my smartphone does anyone know how to do that ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MonteCristoffOn:
Thanks for your reactivity, tene.

I'm able to test it now...

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
try it and provide feedback. that's the only way to know.

I don't have ical in my google account...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] imfloflo:
So i just try it, i add a new entry on my google calendar, i sync it and it adds it to my outlook calendar.

I didn't want to try to sync my ical calendar, cause i think it 'll be add all this entry to my outlook calendar so it 'll be not good for me

On this pic the green and pink calendar are iCal calendar i did'nt control (this is my school planning) and i don't want to merge the tree calendar.

Tene,

I have this up and running on my T-Mobile Wing and it is running fine, the only thing I need to know is how to get my appointment times to show up in regular AM/PM and not military time...it shows up correct in my regular calendar, but in PocketCM calendar is does not. Other then that am waiting for your excellent work on this and can't wait to see how it progresses. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Juhp:
Hi,

I also think that the box idea is very sexy, but tene is right about the efficiency: you don't need to go back to the month view to see the next day, just slide from right to left and the next day appears.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] guimau31:
A l'instar de Pocket CM Contact, ne fonctionne pas sur mon MIO non phone WM5. Est ce le non-phone ou le WM5 qui cause l'erreur ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] imfloflo:
je m'avance peut-etre un peu mais c'est surment du a WM5 le soft doit utiliser des dll particuliers. ta quelle version du .net compact Framework ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] salahnajm:
google synch is not working for me. I was able to properly synch the calender to my google account without any errors (and made sure to the right account), however events showing on the phone calendar are NOT showing up on google. Also events I add on google are not showing on my calendar (ppc), even after repeating the synch several times.

Also if you notice on the calender (I dont know if this was mentioned before) in April for example you have the dates 30, 31 and then 1, 2, 3...

keep up the excellent work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] agentmikeyd:
I have been using scheduleworld and funambol with stock calendar and it works great; it does not work with PocketCM calendar...

Also -- I keep getting Sip Menu (Choose SIP, Select SIp, etc) each time I start the program - this same problem occurred with PCM .20, so I switched back to .19... ;(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Did you set the right category to your events?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] egzthunder1:
tene,

Excellent work. I just installed 0.2 (I have not used google calendar yet). The weird thing is that PCMCal only grabbed the US major holidays from the PDA's calendar. It did not grab any of my appointments. Will the program only grab the appointments from Google calendar?

Other than that, it is going great so far. Keep it up!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
What's special about those appointment? recuring? synched with Exchange?

In theory I should take them all.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] egzthunder1:
Some of the are recurring (you know, b-days, anniversaries, etc), and the others are just regular ones. I only synch with Activesync on my Outlook, I do not use Exchage.

I have an idea, maybe it is because I placed the folder in my SD card. I'll try to move it to programs in the device and see what happens... just a thought.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MDANavymom:
Tene,

I sync with our work server using Intellisync, all appointments show except for the ones that are recurring, hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Blowfish64:
You're not really thinking ahead though. What if I'm looking at the month and I think, hmm I wonder what I'm doing next tuesday and saturday. With the box, it takes one small motion to slide over to both. With your way, I have to click on tuesday, then finger swipe to wednesday, then thursday, then friday, then saturday. The box is far more efficient.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Same here Tene, but major part is that it now works on my 6700. Thank you, great app.

Is their a way of switching to the next year or do I need to scroll through the months until the next year?

Edit: I don't see the year anywhere and when I click on a date the day, month and date show but no year as well.

Edit2: When I scroll to a Shorter Month and Day the year shows, so you may need to reduce the Font or Short form the Day and Month, also would be great if the year was shown beside the Calendar header.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
Great !

works fast and nice on htc touchcruise/wm6

4 Problems:

- shows not all of my categories

- i cant see the year ? an would like to have a today-button-

- the text on the top is too large: see picture

- can`t find a close button

and of course this little box would really be nice, sorry tene !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ironic6925:
some thoughs

Tene,

You did a great job (again)! The program runs fine on my Touch with standard Rom. The only problem I have is that the PocketCM SIP doesnot work. The standard SIP works fine. Any idea what the problem could be? I have the same problem entering a sms in PocketCM Contacts I am really looking forward to the developement of this great new app.

I will use the 0.2 version untill there's a update a will share my findings.

I defininetly like the "flow" of the program already. It feels right.

I do like the pop up idea. It works fine already but the pop up will give it a nice touch if you ask me and matches the PocketCM SIPs look.

It is a bit hard to tap on the right place on the screen entering/ editing a appointments subject.

Pushing the black box for a from / to time give timesuggestions in the left of the screen in a very small font. Why not use the whole screen for that?

Keep up you great work!!

Greetings,

Ironic
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ironic6925:
As in PocketCM Contact for closing an app just tap at the top right end of the screen.

suggestions / wishes

Hi tene,

it's great, to see, that you are working on a calendar.

Since i have my XDA i was searching for a good calendar-app. but none of them where really good.

the best one i found was:

http://www.windsorinterfaces.com/datelens.shtml

do you know this?

i think this zooming feature is great, its a pity, it wasnt developed further.

I think you could do it even better with your knowledge and your framework.

some sugesstions to this:

- the zoomed area (day) is movable by sliding it. (like moving a lens)

- zooming in with click

- zoomig out by double-click

- same perfect search engine like in date-lens (you have to test it!)

- easy entering of appointments in (userdefineable) steps (title <enter> location <enter> date <enter> time<enter> ... done)

i am very excited in seeing this application-development.

best regards

Suheel
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marcos200:
Simple the best

tene,

you arree theee mannn, thats all.

thanks, this must be one off the most desired app ever.

keep this application on development,

pocketCM, Images, and now ... calendar, 3 shortcuts that i have in my today every time:)

desire: scroll day apointments view, tap the apointment and see the detai information like in the standard wm calendar:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
i just can close pocket cm with the close/hide

button

at the right side, buttom. If i press on the top right the SIP Windows appears. Dont know what you mean.:confused:

Nothing happens on pressing any corner with this calendar.

I have to press the end/ok Button of the phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Double tapping doesn't work well also, do you know touch interface that work well using double click? it's how imageviewer unzoom, and basically it sucks.

Anyway, you'll see what future version will bring.
