nevermind.. the widget from the original FEW works :)

thanks

EDIT: ok.. the clock itself works, but when i double click it, it doesn't load the clock application.

:(

ANyways, first feedback

1. FEWL is FAR more goodlookin than the original one.

2. Loads really fast and works well.. no exceptions till now

3. FEWL works well inside UltimateLaunch so I guess it could be used inside any other shell as well

4. the scrolling in the Tasks and Appointments widgets is not at all smooth (was extremely smooth in FEW)

5. in the 2 widgets i edited (the sms one and the missed calls one), you have to double click on them to load Messaging and Call History. this proves to be uncomfortable as these are supposed to be fast access buttons (at least in my eyes)

6. set plugin height doesn't work.. i tried changing it a few times and it just stays at the default value

7. for some reason, everytime the plugin reloads, it releases the WidgetLock widget...

8. CPU usage is EXTREMELY low (thank you so much :))

9. I believe we're missing an email widget? (It would be great if it resembled the ones I edited... picture added below)

10. for some reason, the WidgetLock widget also locks the Power Button so that the display can't be shut off until the plugin is reloaded.

i'll experience some more and get back to you :)

thank you so much for the wonderful work.

as i said before, best shell i ever used.

ok, for some reason, the today plugin just DISAPPEARED.. i can't load it. it's like the dll was erased automatically
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BarateaU:
0.1.4 works pretty good, But I still have the problem to turn off the screen wile on fullscreen. Would love for that work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
Oi... today plugin not working at all.. it has disappeared..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
Same here. I then uninstalled and reinstalled and the plugin came back. Unfortunately, all of the widgets disappeared. :confused::(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
The problem is it does turn off on my omnia... perhaps it's a FlashLite3 thing, but unfortunately I cant change or confirm that :(

It's working for me :\

I'll post a new version with minor fixes today.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
OK, went back to an older version of Flashlite 3.1 and now everything reappeared. BUT, some of the widgets (Wifi and BT) only work if flashlite is in full screen mode. If I go to regular mode, the widgets stop responding.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
That's weird, nothing changes when you go fullscreen... sometimes flash lite is slow on detecting taps, are you sure they stop working and it's not a problem with that?

The new version will be posted some other day because I'm working on a new config screen :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
Yes, I know that this is weird, but it is a fact. When in full screen mode, after double tapping, I get the haptic vibration and it switches on/off. When I go to normal mode, nothing happens.

BTW, The version of Flashlite that works for me is the original DVH version. Whe I tried using the version from Xplode's PIE8+flash.cab WM6.5. I got the main page but no widgets.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] salahnajm:
height?

anyway to adjust today height?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
look for the option on the applicaction configuration window. It can be set independently for Landscape and Portrait.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
New version (0.1.5) is up, you can check the fixes/changes on the first post.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
bug

a new bug i havent seen before, when i hide the widget bar i moves to the right side of the arrow and stops working altogether. if i make the program fullscreen it hides the bar, but i cant click on it after that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Oops, I had forgotten something :o, I've re uploaded 0.1.5 now. It does not contain that bug anymore.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] taril:
Suggestion

Take care with flash animations that never stops!

They are rotating the cpu (15%)

During sceen rotation, fullscreen function goes back to default

Nice application! Watch your inbox!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BarateaU:
Cant we use the omnia flashlite then? I tried it on my gf's touch hd and same thing there doesnt allow you to turnoff screen in fullscreen mode. Otherwise works great!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
There is something you can still try, go to the application Main Configuration window, on Battery settings uncheck the "Apply On Power Off" option and see if it still won't let you turn off the screen while on full screen.

If it does not solve your problem, then it's something FlashLite itself won't let you do, and it cant be fixed by me. If it does work, then that's all :)

There is a lot of optimization left to do on the widgets, all of them should use bitmaps instead of shapes, but I have had no time to optimize them yet, as I've been busy trying to fix other things. But even when all animations are stopped, CPU comsumption will never be 0% because flash whill process each frame for scripts.. or that's what I read somewhere.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BarateaU:
Nope didnt work, guess ill have to wait for another version of flashlite or something.

thx

phone signal bug

whenever my phone loses signal, or i put it into airplane mode, the program crashes. i have the analog clock, app launcher, contact widget, date, and calendar. havent narrowed down which widget it is, or if its the main program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hibiki:
I've got the same error messages during installation, after reintalled the Flashlite, I could install the application successfully; however it crashed when starting up and showing this message "cannot load "mscorlib" to "System.IO.FileLoadException.FileLoadException".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
sms bug

The SMS widget (the one that displays the message in the box) disappears when I click on it to read a message. Then when a new message comes in, it shows back up until I click on it again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
You seem to have a problem with the .NET Framework 3.5. Please reainstall it, or verify it's installed properly.

The SMS widget will hide itself when there are no more SMSs to read. That's that way by design.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
question about weather and dates

Is there a way to change the way the date is displayed? instead of dd/mm/year change it to mm/dd/year? also the weather widget, is it in celsius? if so is there a way to make it fahrenheit?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
No, sorry, you can't change those.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hibiki:
I've reinstalled .NET Framework 3.5 but the problem still persists.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
No signal Bug update

With no widgets on the screen, and cell service or signal is gone (or shut off) the program crashes. It crashes both in the Today screen as well as the standalone program. Also occassionally when the contact widget loads it comes up with an error.

FSCOMMAND: CONTACT_INFO(-2147483638,/$KCONTACTW$2:C The query string is incorrectly formatted.

This will happen to a random contact even after I take them all away and then put them back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
sorry but there is nothing I can do about that error, mscorelib is one of the main .NET dlls, and if it says it can't be found, it's a .NET problem and not some error of my app.

I'll try to check the incorrectly formatted error, however I've been trying to reproduce it and never could :(

I'll try to also reproduce the no signal error too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
the contact error is pretty sporadic, it happens more when the program is started than when it changes from portrait/landscape.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
The second error I get under the contact widget ( I was waiting for it to show back up) is FSCOMMAND:CONTACT_INFO(-2147483633,/$KCONTACTW$4:C Interface could not be verified, interfaceHandle. Also, the 2 phone numbers its thrown in the errors do not appear anywhere in my phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
I'm working on a new version of the widgets rigth now, and it might be a while until I release it. There will probably be a VGA/WVGA and a QVGA/WQVGA version now, since widgets will use images.. let's hope this helps on the CPU use :)

Just a quick peek, this will be the new player widget:

I'm not a designer, and not only it takes time, but you might not like what I do hehe but hey, at least I tried!

The leaf is just a background to show the transparency :)

(And you'll be able to change the pictures using Flash, and modify the widget though that)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
Any way to do a quick patch for the cell signal not available?? Other than that i'll wait patiently for the new release :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Hmm I don't think so. I've tried setting my phone on FlightMode and it didn't cause any problems, so I guess I'll have to test it a little bit. Does it show an exception when that happens?

Do you read the signal strength from the registry? If so tell me where and I can let you know what the value is...maybe its an unexpected value.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
I read the setting using a .NET system property..

Can you try this file and tell me if it still fails?: FECommandProvider.dll You have to place it on \FEWidgetsLite\providers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
It appears to have fixed the problem, i'll test it today and let you know if the problem comes back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
:) the only thing left to change is the widget itself to detect the empty value and switch to "no signal", however that will be implemented on the new version, because I'm changing all the widgets and the old ones won't be supported anymore. (they can be used, but I won't fix them)

EDIT: As this update might take long, I decided to let those who still use this app know the next version (when released) has some cool new features:

- Now on a page, if you sweep your finger vertically on a widget free area, they will scroll up. This allows for 3 more sets of widgets on the screen (one set visible at a given time)

- Page switching can be done with a side to side sweep (besides using the widget for that) and is also animated with a left to right animation.

I'm still working on changing all widgets, so this update will probably take some time but It'll be worth it =D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
If I may ask what UI are you running? Is that manilla with today plugin? Or UL?

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
it's UltimateLaunch with FEWidgets ( the original one, as the lite one is still a tad buggy )...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
I completely overlooked this post sorry. I know it's old but I'll try to check these things for the new version :)

The email widget will probably be released not on this version but the next one if I can figure out how to do it, as it involves messing with native code and my top priority is stability now ;).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
hehe, it's alright.

I hope you manage to implement everything you desire at ease...

right now i'm using Manila2D as the new fewidgets is, as you said, unstable and i needed a shell to use in the meanwhile (m2d's already in my rom)..

when can we expect the next release?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
I'm not sure when, I'm rebuilding every widget, and after I'm done with that (and testing them) I'll have to make a VGA version of them, because I'm using png images now to avoid shapes. When I'm done with that it'll be released.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
cool. thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Oh and some good news for you, FlashLite 3.1 support Hebrew, soyou can modify any widget with embeded Fonts and add the Hebrew ones I think :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
oh, this IS great news. i've been writing all tasks and appointments in english so i could read them on your widgets :)

i'll embed hebrew when you're done with the widgets..

(by the way, now dev questions can be posted in the dev&hack section)

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
:)

Well, today I finished the small version of the widgets (QVGA, WQVGA), on these days I'll be creating the VGA/WVGA version, and once I've got them, I'll release a new version :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Well, as it's been some time since I posted last, I wanted to tell you why it's taking so long for the next release... I've been working on the app a lot, not only resizing but also on some stability problems which I solved.

I've also completely redone the weather widget, now using Yahoo! Weather because the google weather api was returning bad data.

I've also added compatibility for Flash 7 for those who still use it and won't let go for FL3.1 hehe.. it's still highly experimental, as I don't know if it supports PNG images (if it does not, then it won't run), but that will have to be tested by someone with Flash 7, since I now have FL3.1 on ROM.

Well' I'm now back to resizing the widgets, I'll probably finish and release this weekend.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
that's wonderful. i wanna try it on the diamond
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Now widgets on VGA and WVGA will be a 40% bigger, as before they where resized to 160% and now they are 200% the original size. This is so they are not too small on bigger screens. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] peymankh:
Cant wait till this weekend, I think it's gonna be great!

I really think Omnia's default widgets are too boring, I hope FEWidget rocks!!!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pradeepshaan:
Vtocco widgets modified to work in FEWidgetsLite 0.1.5

i Modified some vtocco widgets to work in FEWidgetsLite 0.1.5.

To make Game and Birthday widgets work.copy games.txt and Birthdays.txt to FEWidgetsLite Directory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
ok.. new version is up, please check the first post for changes.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ston:
nice one, will take a look now
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ancola66:
Nice but error :

:(:confused::(

same here.......
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pocketfree:
Great application! I like it!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Hi, those who have this error could please redownload and tell me if it still happens on this new version I've just uploaded?

I'm sorry about that, I had packed an old version of Win32.dll.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frode2008:
0.2.1 works perfect on xperia x1i. Thank you!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ston:
0.2.1 fixes that DLL issue for me too
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Djay64:
it's ok now, but this image keeps popping up on every widget I tap.

Plus is there a way to add more widgets? I tried the add new widgets but it doesn't work.

Infact I tried to just add new widgets and it removed itself from the today option...I had to reinstall it :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
what version of WM are you using? and .NET CF?

It seemes as if you don't have a .NET assembly which is standard on .NET CF3.5..

There are no more widgets right now, the "add new widgets" option is not for finding them. Widgets can be deployed on .zip files and that option will do an automatic install (if the widget can be auto installed)...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kosmodisk:
nice graphics mate :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Shifty512:
this is so amaziiiiiiing :)

love it!

Shifty
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
Nicolas, I installed 0.2.1 and it works smoothly, is very very beautiful and useful.. but i've still got a few problems.. which are obviously just my opinions.. but you might agree.

1. the SMS and Missed Calls widgets still require double clicks to run.. which is VERY hard to do. As i suggested before, they should be changed to single click

2. The diamond clock is tiny and the font is not like the one from the original FEWidgets.. which is a pity.. since it was beautiful.. also double clicking on the clock is not comfortable. should be single click.

3. The tasks and appointments widgets in the previous one.. 0.1.5, had transparent backgrounds which fit every background.. I think they were much nicer.

4. The settings screen is AMAZING. :)

5. Everything else is almost perfect.

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Djay64:
I have the net 3.5, and your latest widgetlite, but i am using a none phone device.........But I can't see how that would effect anything.

It all displays fine....I have it up on my device, just some widgets work, and some don't. when I turn it on I get that message.

Also I'm a bit on confused on what you meant with adding widgets?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
Hi Nicodega,

I've given the new version a try and it definitely is faster. I still have the problem of the BT and WiFi widgets only working when flash is in fullscreen mode. Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there anything that I can do to help you track it down?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
You've been providing feedback since almost day one, and that's why your oppinions are gladly welcome :)

Changed.

I don't have the original font.. however, I've changed it, please check if you like it better ;). I've also increased the size of the clock a bit.. perhaps it's not much bigger but well.. let me know.

Now you can enable a Backgroundless version of them included with 0.2.2. (they are disabled by default). I introduced the background once again, because without it you could not read them on light colored backgrounds (like white)

:)

Almost??!!! hehehe I've put a lot of work on this app as of now, but I think now it's just as I pictured at the begining... I really did not like my own widgets before.. they looked dated ;)

Your wished are orders hehe just joking :P

I really don't have that problem :( even so.. I can't imagine how you could have it... as there is no difference on fullscreen mode.. it's just flash rendering on a different window.

Application command provider dlls are linked to Phone dlls of the .NET CF (the one you are missing), and they load when the dll is loaded.. hence the error.

About the "adding new widgets", you said you tried to do it... did you place a new widget Auto Instalable Package (.zip with an xml inside) on FEWidgetsLite\install folder? It removes itself from Today because the program cant be runing when installing new widgets.. it should load itself again automatically.. however if you got an exception, it might not load correctly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] asapelectric:
Hello Nico. Great App! My problem is the wallpaper disappears, swiping, and icons are disabled after a reset or such. But it works awesome for a while, the left scroll side still works the whole time. The only thing that cures the problem is to re-install, until it happens again.

Im running windows mob. 6.5, that the problem ya think? Also cdma sprint diamond.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Can you tell when is it that the wallpaper dissapears? I mean do you do something, or do you open an app and then it dissapears?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] asapelectric:
Not really. I know restarting or reset doesnt fix it, only re-install. Ill try it again and report back. Its happened several times. Too bad, its an AWESOME PROGRAM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] asapelectric:
Nico, when going between today and call history icon I get a error,faulting module :flashlite.dll. , white screen and swipe restraint hasnt happened yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ancola66:
Many thanks but I do not see where in WG 0.2.1? I'm not using version 0.2.2 because I do not like FL7
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Version 0.2.2 works with FlashLite 3.1. There is a way to (supposedly) make it work with flash 7 now, but I have not tested it.

Download 0.2.2.

You mean you open the call history and when you switch it throws that error? are you opening the call history though the app or from outside?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] asapelectric:
Not everytime, but yeah, that was 0.2.1. Now 0.2.2 not loading widgets at all, something about a line error 29 and 145 ,or something like that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Sorry about that. It's late and made a mistake on an xml when releasing.

Please redownload.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] asapelectric:
Thanks! Will report back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ston:
I love this project. One recommendation though, not sure if its possible, it might even be supported... but is there away to 'lock down' all the widgets? If I setup the layout how I like it, its very easy to move a component when trying to multi. click it. It would be good to able to lock the widgets in place, and make them then all work with a single click rather than 2+.

Keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Djay64:
would it be possible to get a non phone FEWidgets?????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lilhgarcia1:
I'm Having Problem I downloaded FEWidget 0.2.2

I installed Flash 7 and Flashlite 3.1 but i still get an error

I have a touch pro and using MightyRom
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zinconnu:
Very good app', for ppc (without phone) soon ? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Use the lock widget... thats exactly what it does... except for the one click thing.. that has to be changed on every widget.

Perhaps in a future I'll have the time to sepparate the phone part from the non phone part... the "engine" is phone independant but for that you'd have to disable the FECommandProvider.dll (which has the phone dll reference) and most of the widgets will not work at all.
