[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larbke666:
when is new version coming? Will it work with flash 7?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
I won't use flash at all. And I'm still developing it although I'm really advanced now, and might release the VGA version in a week or two.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larbke666:
I need the QVGA version lol ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
then download the alpha version released a few days ago
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] semmtexx:
Works great on my omnia i910 but...

When exiting programs, it likes to hang up on the graphics. Like the background of the program I am exiting stays up. No way to get back to the FE Widgets Homescreen. have to soft reset. I am running flash lite 3.1 player version 9.1.115.134. I have not however tried the latest version just posted. I am using the cab from the first page.... any suggestions?

EDIT: I also am using a cooked rom. That my be contributing. It is Bgill's latest 6.5 version 3.2. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! Great APP!!!

EDIT: I just installed alpha 5 and it's awsome. Clocks are 1 hour behind though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Does alpha 5 run ok? I mean the speed.

Could you tell me your clock configuration on the device? (do you have daylight saving, what timezone you have configurated, and what's the time displayed when you setup the time on windows)

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diabolik:
alpha 5 it is excellent but the tools to complete the weather is not practical
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
I can't make it practical because one way or another you'll have to enter the weather url from yahoo! weather. I decided to use that api because it is simple.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diabolik:
this is not what I meant is to write the system which is not practical ... much of what is written is no longer visible
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] semmtexx:
Hey sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Here are the specs:

clock is set to GMT-5 Eastern US

its now 3:08 PM 7/12/2009

clock widgets say the times is 2:08 PM. As for daylight savings... I'm not sure where the setting is for that.

as for speed: dragging is a little slow, the animation of the actual dragging is kind of buggy- instead of the widget appearing to fallow your finger, it just disappears and appears where you drag it too. Also the widget bar is the same way with the scrolling. when you drag up or down it doesnt really scroll too well it just kind of move once or twice sort of jerky and then stops. This PLugin is awsome though. PLease keep up the good work. Any way you could make copy of the google mobile app into some kind of widget that would allow search and gmail? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
On my omnia the time is shown correctly :( I don't know why it's one hour early on your device..

does everyone have the one hour early problem?

By the way, please try this new alpha (6), it addresses the dragging speed problem.

FEWidgetsUltimate-alpha6.CAB

Let me know how it worked.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] semmtexx:
Cool! I just downloaded it. I will test it for a while in a bit and let you know how it goes. Hey maybe the time will be corrected. Like I said, I am using a cooked ROM which we all now are constantly being updated because of minor bugs so your plugin may not be the problem in my case, it might be my device. Either way i'll let you know i a while how it does. Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lbhocky19:
so i just gave it a shot and i like it alot so far but i have a few questions

im guessing the symbol with the cogs is the app launcher? when i click it nothing happens so how do i set programs to it

also can i make it pull a picture up for a contact instead of the name

can i make the music player work from core player instead

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
when it loads it says its missing the widget bar image, finishes loading and theres no widget bar
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
do you happen to have a VGA device? This release is QVGA/WQVGA only, and since I'm now developing the VGA version and the engine is the same, there might be stuff missing on the CAB (as the widget bar button).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
its VGA, last version worked so I thought I'd give it a shot so you could have some more feedback
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
- You have to drop the cogs widget and it'll have a plus sign. Tap it and find the program. you can drop it as many times as you please.

- When you select a contact it should also display the picture (if it has one on outlook).

- No I can't make it work with core player sorry.

Next version will be full VGA compliant. :) (in a week or so.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lbhocky19:
but yeah whats the trick to making the app launcher work

nevermind turned off double click and it seems to work now

and got contacts working. its the 4 box one that wouldnt do pics but single one will

the appointments box wont do double tap for me so i cant open the calendar

and when trying to point a icon for app launcher it wont find alot. does it only do jpg?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Ohh.. you are talking about the flash version of the application? That version is no longer supported since I'm developing a new C++ / Qt version without using flash... that's the one which won't work on VGA right now.

And yes, the flash version only supports jpg.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lbhocky19:
ohhh ok well i await the new version :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] laocheebye:
Tried FEWidgetsUltimate-alpha6.CAB

Couldn't get it to work. While loading kept prompting an error message: Could not \Program Files\FEWidgetsUltimate\providers\something...

Well the error message is just too long and get cut off.

Hope you bring a stable working version out soon =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arxaios:
hi could you please a qvga version of this fabulous today screen?:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
probably the same message I got
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
I probably missed a file on the cab.

Right now I've got a serius memory issue somewhere on the code which is really hard to find because it's failing randomly, and it'll take time to solve (if I can fix it at all). I'll let you know when I've got something working.

EDIT: I think I fixed the leak :) here is the new alpha 7: FEWidgetsUltimate-alpha7.CAB

I'm now working on VGA support. It should run on VGA again, but probably look awful.. like.. big bar and small icons hehe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
"Could Not Load images/backgrounds/backbigp.png" Its not there, just BackP and BackL
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
Maybe this is just because of the VGA screen, but when I updated the config there was a black bar all the way across the screen about even with the arrow on the Widget bar. Not too long after that the phone froze. Screen changes still take quite a bit but functional. Didn't check for a memory leak but the "Lock" widget doesn't disappear anymore so good work there! Most of it seems stable but the widgets (and I know you haven't gotten there yet) need a lot of work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
the widgets are the same as their counterparts on the old version, and that's how it'll remain at least for some time.

For VGA I'm only resizing them.

The application is fully skinnable and scriptable through javascript, so anyone can modify existing or create new widgets.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Could you send me a screen of that black bar? Was the widgets bar still there?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
the widgets bar was still there, and everything still functioned...but i've already uninstalled so i cant screen shot it. If I had to guess at where the location would have been i would guess it was 3/4 of the way down the screen and about the size of the taskbar (or tray that normally is at the top of the screen).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
It was probably the tray bar. I'll see what I can do about it. Where you on fullscreen?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
It was both full screen, and I had the "Hide Tray" enabled
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
EDIT: I've just read the second part haha.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Well, here goes alpha 9, this time vga should be fully supported. Please remember only WM 6.1 and 6.5 are supported.

QVGA/WQVGA CAB: FEWidgetsUltimate.CAB

VGA/WVGA CAB: FEWidgetsUltimateVGA.CAB

Let me know how it works :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ben79:
VGA/WVGA on my HTC HD error when launching
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arxaios:
great application works just fine on trinity.Only one problem i noticed with bluetooth icon when i enable it and then disable it in a fast way crash with many script errors i just need to soft reset and everything going well.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Could you tell me what error it shows?

thanks.

EDIT: I think I found why you got the script errors. I've updated the cabs with the fix. If it was not fixed please post the error (or one of them).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ben79:
Hello nicodega

the error message is

Everything works fine.Better than before.But the lock locks only the screen and not all the buttons.Also i have a problem with the clock that gives me 1 hour back than my time zone.A reccomendation if possible to make configurator more functional than it is.Its not giving all options for example i tap the clock to change the hour and do nothing.Keep up the good work

regards arxaios

I'm Glad it works better.

The clock apparently is showing one hour less on some devices (on my omnia it works ok), I'm trying to find out why but it's using the Qt date and I don't know if it has an error.(Qt is a framework)

The configuration window is meant for widget configuration, not for system settings. If you tap on the clock widget (not on it's configuration but on the widget itself) the system clock configuration should open.

EDIT: I've verified the code and found out I forgot to put the code to pen the clock when you tap on the widget. I'll add it for the next release.

The lock widget is not meant to lock the entire phone, but only the widgets, so you can't drag them. That's it's function.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angus1357:
All the widgets, dragging, etc. seems to be working ok...but I think the VGA icons (widget sizes) are way too big, just my opinion!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
They are twice it's size on VGA. Since the screen is twice in size from QVGA/WQVGA.

This is the same as it was on the flash version.

EDIT: BTW, if you liked the QVGA widgets size, you can still install the QVGA/WQVGA version, but you must copy the background images from the VGA one.

Could you please post your clock settings? I need the Time Zone and the time it shows on Settings->System->Clock & alarms, for Home and Visiting and also which one is selected.

I also need to know if on your country you happen to be one hour off because of daylight saving.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arxaios:
MY time zone is rome for home and greece visiting,selected rome daylight saving is active from advanced config.Would be great after all if there is a total lock of the phone as widget not only widget screen is that possible to do?thanks for your help

regrds arxaios
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mderm:
What a great app!!

This is really nice, but had some problems:

1. The profile switcher widget: When I tap on it it opens the profile choice on window 0, which is a pitty, cause I have it on window 1:rolleyes:

2. I wanted to create a contact screen on page 1 (the second), window one. when I now swipe back to my homescreen (0,0) the contacts appear on that page, too.

Anything Ican do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dead-Eye:
Excellent Application...

Nicodega,

A EXCELLENT application...I really enjoy playing around with it...Can't wait for you to release the finally version...Apha9 is a great improvement...Works okay on my handset...

Here are my opinions and things found and I modified...

1. I do agree with angus1357...VGA icons looks big...I beleive if you make the VGA icon size between the QVGA & VGA will be perfect...

2. Screen freezes sometimes and have to do a reset...

3. I was also getting the taskbar about 3/4 of the way down on the screen (sorry I didn't think of taking a screen shot)...The way I fix that was to modified the "main.xml" file...I changed everything from 240 to 480 & 400 to 640...I believe it was set for qvga screen and not for vga screen...Restarted and now I dont get the taskbar...

4. Don't know if this a type-o in your "qd.js" script file..."thia.Name.visible = false;"...I change it to "this.Name.visible = false;"

5. After playing around with Apha9 VGA, I end up uninstalling it and I took your advice you gave to others and installed the Apha9 QVGA on my device...Copy over the background VGA images...I also took the VGA icons and transfer it over...I modified some of the xml and js files to make it work correctly...In short, I pretty much combined the QVGA & VGA version together...

I'm still playing around with it...If any other finding will post for you...Please keep up your great work...Excellent Application..

Couple of screen shots attached...

Deadeye...

My Handset:

I-mate JasJar

My Custom ROM: WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20758 (build 20758)

4gig SD-card - Which I installed the FEWidget Apha9 on (haven't installed on main memory to test, which is my next step)...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
First, thanks for your detailed feedback :)

Now onto the points you mentioned:

1- I'll see if I can resize them, I don't have a VGA device, mine is WQVGA and never got to see them on a real device. I'll see if I can make some time to resize them again when I'm finished with the engine :)

2- Hmm, did you only have opened the widgets on the screen shot? I'll check onto that.

3- Weird.. by taskbar what do you mean, the place where the Start button is or the tray bar? anyway, I'm rewriting the fullscreen/sizing code now, it had bugs.

4- It was a typo hehe.

5- Glad to see someone got onto the xml/javascript stuff.. you might be the first one to modify my files hehe :D.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sshot999:
This program is great.

I'm having the same problem with the clock. Hy home clock is GMT-5 Eastern US.

Another widget that would be great to have is something similar to the missed calls and missed SMS but for email.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dead-Eye:
Issues...

nicodega,

Sorry, yes the traybar not the taskbar...

I see what you saying about the WQVGA & VGA icons...A friend has Samsung i900 Omnia and the icons looks just as big as it would be equal on the VGA version...

My test:

1. I got the samething what "mderm" have mention in post #458 about the contacts appearing on the first page 0|0 when you created the contacts on the other page 0|1...

What I notice if you have the same background on all the pages it will combine them all to the first page (happen sometimes, not all the time)...So I end up changing the background on each page and sofar everything seems to be ok (still testing)...

2. I can't seem to get the weather to work (still playing around with it)...I active my internet on the phone and click on the weather icon and nothing seems to happen...Any idea what I am doing wrong or what I need to do???

Still testing and playing around with it...

Can't wait for your latest release... :)

Peace...

dead-eye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dead-Eye:
I have created one...Please see pix...

I'm still learning how to use the automatic install section of the FEwidget...Can't seem to get the def.xml file to work right...I tried use the step for Flash version it doesn't work...Maybe when "nicodega" have time, he can show us how to...

So, I manually copy the files over and edit one file in the program to make it work...

Once I figure out how to make it install automatic...I will attach it for everyone to use...

NOTE: Icon on the sidebar is VGA but the icons show on window are WQVGA...The icon sightly bigger the the WQVGA sms & miss call icons...When you click on the icon, it will take you to "Select an Account" window(page)...

Peace dee
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
I've checked the code for obtaining the time, and it must be something wrong with Qt or even with Windows Mobile. Probably has to do with daylight saving or something like that, because I've even gone through Qt's code and it uses a windows api function to get the time and timezone. One thing though, if you change your timezone, you have to soft reset for the program to recognize it.

I'll see if on the next version I place a new "Add one Hour" option on the main config to fix this problem. But it'll only be avaliable for the clocks.

Ok.. about the size, I also have an omnia, and I don't find them too big... but I agree perhaps on QVGA or VGA they will probably be really big since you don't have so much screen space.

For the weather to work, you must set the Yahoo! Weather rss feed for your city on the configuration options, and the remove and drop the widget again.

Auto Instalable Packages (or automatic install :)) aren't tested too much yet, and perhaps it'll not work as expected.

I've been dealing with a small problem on the sizing/fullscreen code these days, but now I think I've fixed it. (that should fix the tray problem also)

About the widget appearing on some other page, I'll test it tomorrow. However I've also made heavy changes on the way layouts are preserved (and when) because they where not working right.

Cheers,

Nico.

EDIT: BTW, If you allowme to, I could add the mail widget you've created (perhaps with an image similar to the sms and missed calls) giving you the proper credit for it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dead-Eye:
The Files...

nicodega,

I have the attached the files for you to add to your new build...But still all the credit goes to you for all the excellent work you have done... :)

Peace...

dead-eye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Thanks! I'll add it to the next release :) (I'll probably release some time this week, I'm trying to polish a few things)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dead-Eye:
Can't wait to try-out the new build... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
It won't have any substantial visual improvements, because most of the changes are internal. The only "new" thing on the new build is the ability to change the widgets bar docking and appearance.

I'll be uploading it probably tomorrow since tonight I'm going to test the Auto Installable Packages and make them work as expected.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Well, here is the new alpha 10, there arn't many visual changes, but it "should" work better since I've done lots of bug fixing... let's hope I didn't create too many bugs while fixing others :)

- VGA widgets size is still the same (the one some people said was too big).

- Widgets AIP packages (Auto installation) and uninstall now works properly.

- Fullscreen now should work better.

- Kinetic lists (except for the configuration one) now can be skinned modifying their xml files on the styles folder.

- Theres a new widget thanks to Dead-Eye for unread mail count (same as missed calls and unread sms).

- I've changed a lot on the layput management (when they are saved, etc), when you drop or remove a widget, you should wait 15 seconds if you wish to turn off (completely) your device, or change the layout (that will preserve it).

- I've added a new "Install new Widgets" button on the config screen. If you press it, it'll force all AIP packages on the install directory to be installed.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jilaxzone:
Hi,

I just found this thread.

First trying the 0.3.1 version. Thats great.

Then, scrolling the page to the end, i find you just uploaded the new version.

So i'll try the ultimate..

All I can say is...GREAT WORKS!

Works flawlessly on My BlueAngel.

Anyway, can you make widget that work to open an explorer.

Cause I think that everyone needs to see some files or applications in their explorer.

Can u make for Resco Explorer?

Now i'm reading your documentation on how to make widgets..If I managed to make it, I will post it here^^

0h, one more, on the FEWidgetsUltimate-alpha10, is there any options on how to maximaze battery setting like one in version 0.3.1?

Cause i didnt find the option for that in configurations.

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
The VGA file is online (I've just downloaded it), it must have been a problem with the hosting :)

Look for the shortcuts widget.. you can place any shortcut/exe on the app and it'll show the icon.

The "Maximize Battery Setting" is no longer present because the alpha 10 version doesn't use Flash at all, it's a full native (C++, no flash, no .NET) version completely different from 0.3.1. Now processor is stuck at 0% when you are not dragging widgets or doing something.

Cheers,

Nico.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mderm:
Hey Nico,

new system seems to be much more stable and faster than the flash thingie (at least to me:)).

But there are some issues:

After installation, first start and after that every time I start FEW, I get an error message Quoting it cannot load an image, widgetbar.left... or sth.

I managed to put the right weather rss path to the widget, but when I click on the refresh button, nothing happens...:(

I cannot change the background changers path, although it is a settings variable (seen in simple.xml). when I copy my wallpapers (jpg) into the given dir FEW gives me an error message that some image could not be load, just like the one after start.

I now have this timezone/daylight saving issue, too.

but the two issues from my last post are away:D
