What do you think of adding some annimation to the wheel? Like maybe flicking the wheel and showing it spinning through the dates?

The ability to set an alarm or noise and how far in advance to alert of the appointment?

Length of appointments definable.

Reoccuring appointments. Categories. Status. Attendees.

The ability to set the back ground.

Integration with OEM calendar.

These are just ideas. Thought you might be looking for a little brain storming.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Riel:
This is the simple version, when you need more you have more time and use original inputs?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] detroix:
yay finally a great looking calendar input app...

was getting sick and tired of missing the drop box and the retarded response on the wm6 platform..

well done!

i wan it on the tf3d!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dickenz:
If you could cover tasks, appointments and to-do's and then integrate it with the standard calendar's data and maybe even integrate it with the Calendar tab from D-MAN666 then I think it would be pretty much a MUST HAVE app.

Localization

I tried to find with WinCe cabmanager but don't find answer which file is contains language information?

I suppose it's hard coded in .exe file and it's pictures...

Could I ask you to translate it if I send you translation to russian for each of description?

Thank's forward

To make it work with Fabil Action Screen 9 Btn Diamond v6 just make this overpatching:

HCLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_3\Path and overwrite \windows\poutlook.exe to \internal storage\Program Files\GekoNewCal\GekoNewCal.exe please note that internal storage is directory there you install GekoNewCal and if you install it on device just exclude it from the path that i describe.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
- Animations are planned for the next versione, I'm working on it...

- I'm working also on recurring and alarm, but my goal is to keep the app very easy and light.

Thanks for your feedback.

Very nice app.

However, for me, I dont like that the logo is visible like it is. it's way to large and prominent.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ciuccigno:
Thank you guys! My mobile phone is 2 years old and has not so many features... I have downloaded the GekoNewCal and it looks great! I will wait for your future applications. Keep me up to date! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Stencil:
Hello everybody! I have seen a lot of comments on forums and blogs about the Geko. It seems that the application is becoming very popular. Congratulation guys! :cool:

The picker is fancy as the iPhone's one, but I also find useful the invitation via SMS that I use with my friends.

When will next version be released? Gekotask still under development?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
GekoNewCal 3.1 and GekoTask

We are working to release the new version 3.1 of GekoNewCal, with a rich list of new features with an improvement of user interface, new graphical skin and new screen resolution of WQVGA (240x400) typical of Samsung Omnia.

GekoTask is based on GekoNewCal, most of the features/screens are the same. We have decided to wait one week more in order to take benefits of news introduced in GekoNewCal 3.1.

We will deliver GekoNewCal 3.1 at the beginning of next week and GekoTask one week later.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tatsch:
"Next week" means "sometimes in a while" or this week now? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] RobertdeHoop:
Looks cook, I wil give it a try. Thanks Mate
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
Hi,

our delay in the launch was because we are following some rigorous rules to add GekoNewCal in the apps store.

In any case, 3.1 il ready and we will deliver it on Friday (in two days..)

We will inform you on our website and in this forum.

Thanks.

GekoNewCal 3.1.3680

Hi guys,

we uploaded a public beta and not the final release!

Now we have uploaded the right file and the version is 3.1.3680, please download it again.

Sorry, best regards.

GekoDev Team.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tatsch:
You talked about a release before. If you want to publish a beta-version, please write it down.

And I can't find a new version, actually your webppage provides version still 3.1.3677.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ciuccigno:
GekoNewCal 3.1.3680 works fine!

I downloaded the 3.1.3680 version and works fine on my Samsung Omnia II.

Great job! :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jolas:
Because I am tired to testing all these 'final' releases, could you please tell me if in the last final release (3.1.3685) the bellow problem has been fixed???

(it is from final release 3.1.3681.0!!!!!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
Yes, it solve the problem.

In order to be clear, I tested the app with 3 differents devices (QVGA, WQVGA and VGA) and with the emulator for the WVGA, and all the "final" releases (3677 and 3681) worked fine. It's clear that the emulator has a different behaviour of a real device.

Furthermore, 3.1.3685 introduces two little improvements:

- [NEW] Sorted languages list in the configuration tool.

- [NEW] When opening option tool, the current preferences are selected.

Bye
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jolas:
Problem still exists in my Touch HD (WVGA).

It's funny to find out that an updated version is not supporting the same as the previous versions!!!

So, WVGA is no longer supported!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
Are you sure that you are using the 3.1.3685??? Have you downloaded the file from our website?

I tested it now with a real device and it works.

Please let me know.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
WVGA is supported!! Before to say something like that please ask me directly by email at support@gekonewmobile.com with a complete description.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
Jolas,

I re-uploaded the WVGA file (same version) in order to understand if something was wrong/corrupted. Please, could you download and install it?

Thanks,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tatsch:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jolas:
Ofcource I was testing the last version (3.1.3685).

Sorry, but when I own this kind of device, and (like others) have problems, I thing that is not a lie.

Omar, for now and until you have a version that for sure will work with WVGA resolution, I returned to the previous version 3, that I have to admit that it is a very very nice piece of software!

I have nothing against you, but I think that you already know that this kind of problems with releasing 'final' releases that it is not really final, is not the best thing for the developing group.

As Justin suggested into your site, most of the problems you and we are facing now, would be solved if you have given public beta versions...

Anyway, I know that you are trying hard to fix all of these problems, I will wait for a fixed version and I am willing to buy your new application GekoTask when it will be released. :)

Hi Jolas,

Thanks to Justin for a quickly test of this new version and for a correction of German translation.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
About graphic skin, this new 3.1 version is more flexible and open to custom skin. We will publish more details on our website to create custom skins, of course users can create their own skins replacing images file.

It's important to maintain the same filename, image size and file format (PNG) in order to obtain the same result (transparency, positioning...).

Bye,

GekoDev Team
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tatsch:
Exactly same image size? :eek::confused:

BTW: The times have changed :):

Version 3.0 vs 3.1 - what's better? (User's opinion)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
"...exactly the same" in order to have an optimal visualization.

The application adapts all images scaling them to fill the right size, but the scaling process is not so accurate than Photoshop...

On there own website i noticed Buy Now, but I can't make a payment over the internet!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
GekoNewCal is a licensed application, there is a trial version that allows you to test the program for 15 days, then you can buy the license code on our website.

We accept PayPal, credit card or wire transfer, you can follow the instructions on the site.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vijaydesor:
great app - but would def be a must have if integrated into manilla.

One obsvertaion though .... when i press the up arrow, it should increase the values and not decrease the values as it currently does and vice versa

i.e. if time is 10 and I press up arrow, it should go to 11 (goes to 9 in this version)

But still like it :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omar68:
I agree with you about integration in Manila but I'm not an expert about it so I need help, all suggestions are appreciates :)

About up/down arrows I'm working to replace static button with some wheels that increase/decrease values sliding the finger. Stay tuned :)

Please give me the opportunity to set an alarm:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mkevin:
Actualy IMHO don't waste your time because all things integrated in manila are based on unuseless visualisation of simple function (Calendar just could show real calendar by month) and couldn't be such useful like your app.

To make something additional but look-like and iterface-like it's more simple (for ex. ShutXP or Action Screen)

and actualy it don't use memory and slow speed of interface...

D-Man is already answer you in his topik that it's impossible to make your app integrated in his calendar. His and mun_rus developing could be usefull in the future but first of all it's for visual effects (by the way mun_rus is one of the best russian ROMmakers and I think manila patching it's his hobby):D:D:D

Yes, of course, could you send me german translation?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] curious george:
Omar,

I don't know if you would have been around to remember OtO. It was a One Touch Organizer, calendar + task freeware program that was developed by ArtiCat on this site. Unfortunately, the developer was never able to complete the program but it had a lot of great ideas you may find useful in the development of you program. One in particular was the date scroll wheel with annimation and the ticking sound. At any rate, if you have and old QVGA device setting around somewhere you may want to load it and see what you think. Some of it may or may not be the way you want to proceed with your program but it is atleast some good ideas. Link and screen shots below:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] diggy128:
Hi everyone.

Omar how about making the app scroll like the settings tab in manilla?

It would be great to have all the basic fields on the first page (view) as well as the OK/cancel button and be able to flick downwards to have access to more fields.

What do you think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] oo0:
great app

.

Please, make little edition to the app in order we to have GekoNewCal with Appointment, and GeckoNewCal with New Task addition!

interface should be the same but with Priority and Category options for the task.

that would be absolute and more people would use it.

someone needs quick appointments, someone needs quick to-do and tasks additions!

Version 2.x has a new resources file for each localisation. In "GekoNewCal" folder you will find "xx_settings.txt" files, for ex: en_settings.txt for english, it_settings.txt for italian version and so on.

Set english language is easy: rename "en_settings.txt" to "setting.txt" (replace default file), close application and restart it. It's all. :)
