[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Nighthawk:
I must admit I find this whole thing absolutely ridiculous. My thoughts (not that they matter, freely offered) on some of the comments being made...

1. We as users have no right to demand anything from anyone on this site. If this site has rules, regulations or requirements that people (users) must agree to then the Admins can deal with any breaches of this as it is THEIR site, not ours.

2. Remember, while this forum is open to the public it is owned (by someone) and the owners can do whatever they want (it is theirs, not ours). If we don't like like it, we can go somewhere else or start your own site. I personally love this site.

3. If you donate money it is your business and nobody elses, you are responsible for making the decision to give/not give. If you have concerns about how your money may be used or if you'll receive something in return (updated ROM etc.) then YOU SHOULD ASK BEFORE DONATING. If I choose to give $100 or $1000 to someone, IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

4. If someone decides to share or not it is THEIR PERSONAL CHOICE, we (users) have no right to demand otherwise. You can ask and beg, but in the end it's not your right to tell someone what to do in this forum. That right belongs to the Admins, if it is a breach of site policy.

5. If one person has a source and another doesn't THAT'S LIFE, go find a source. What right do you have to demand access to a source that isn't yours. Of course you can ask, but there is no requirement to give you the source.

6. If a source wants only to deal with one person, that's the sources right and your opinion doesn't matter (it's their right).

7. If a source wants to put restrictions on something they can, that's between the source and the person they are dealing with. It's not your source.

8. If a source is willing to receive money and agree to an agreement about something that's THEIR choice, who are you to say otherwise. If such action violates this sites rules then it's the Admins job to address it.

9. The cutting and pasting of text is not evidence. Especially when it can be faked and their's no way to vet it, it is hearsay.

>>> Hear-say (heer-sey) - noun; An item of idle or unverified information or gossip; rumor: a malicious hearsay.

Finally, WOW all this is over a frakin ROM. Irrespective of what did or didn't happen, let's get back to our toys. Those that cannot stop whinging about this and that need to get over it.

Thank you.

Does GPS cost money when I use it on the Diamond? I'm on Orange, if that helps. I ask because I want to use the Trackmyrun app (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=473623) but I don't want to pay for extra things on my bill.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Htc86:
Relax, GPS tracking software just tracks your position, which you later upload to your PC. It has nothing to do with your provider...using Google maps on the other hand, transfers data over your provider. That can cost you something, but it's not a big deal, really...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] fraps:
Like was said, no it won't because it is using satelite services not your provider's. As long as you're not using a third party software like gmaps, then your not using the network. Be sure to be able to differentiate the two.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] helmees:
Thanks very much.
[G1 Apps and Games] madj1:
I decided to go and pay for SMS Commander because I like the concept of the application and that we will have free updates. Well the latest update for SMS Commander allows it to work with "Addons." And the addon it is referring to is now an application called SMSC Record, that will only work if you have SMS Commander first. SMSC Record is simply 2 new commands added to the system that allows it to record sound from the phone remotely. Which would be fine if it was simply just an optional download, but if you want it you have to pay another $1.00. It seems like this should just have been included in the SMS Commander update and this whole addon idea seems like just another way for the developer to make more money off his popular app and sly around the free update system.

Am I wrong for being mad about this? If he's going to make you pay more money for each new option to the program doesn't that just defeat the update system.
[G1 Apps and Games] afoulke:
All depends on how many add-ons he has and if any of the updates come with free new features. Think of it as upgrading from xp to vista Microsoft makes you pay more money for more (or less :D) features with the new OS
[G1 Apps and Games] obe1:
sms commander

well if developers are gonna be updating there apps with addons and charging 99 cents for every single update/addon then here i said it i will be downloading the cracked app or wait for another developer to say you know what ima make this app for free so he dont get a dime anymore example wifi awake app theirs 3 new apps that are free with the intention of the charge app not to get any money so hopefully someone will come up with a sms commander app soon for free or atleast the updates for free/addons.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Nice to hear people encourage developers to put a lot of time in developing useful applications for just 1$...

sigh...

If you don't like it, don't buy it... if you think a dollar is too much then i wonder how you make a living.

Most of my work is open-source and done in my own time ( after my daily work as a c# developer ) and most of the time it keeps me busy till late in the night. Luckily there are still people supporting my open-source work and randomly donating some money instead of going crazy about one dollar...
[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
Thank you.
[G1 Apps and Games] davidperlik:
I think you guys are missing the point of his post. He is not complaining that the ass-on is a dollar but that he has to pay for an add-on to an app that he already purchased for $2.99 or whatever SMS Commander costs.

It's an issue of Microtransactions that I do not agree with at all. Charging your customers nockles and dimes for minor updates doesn't seem like much but it can snowball into developers intentionally leaving out content of an app to charge you for it later when they need or want mor money, which is what this SMS Commander situation looks like.
[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
Yes, and that's where the public votes with it's wallet. A dev who uses this tactic, right or wrong, will be told by the buyers (and more importantly, non-buyers) that this process is unacceptable. If he can't sell his app using his current model, he'll have to work on another model, or cede the app's functionality to some other dev who will do the customers a better job.

The original poster asked if s/he was wrong being mad. I think so. This is part of the beauty of a somewhat-free Market.
[G1 Apps and Games] SF333:
I'm a huge fan of this app... I had the free trial which was buggy and not very good compared to the new version. I decided to go ahead and buy it when paid apps were released because I figured it must be quite an improvement if he was charging money for it. Although the UI stayed very similar, the additional commands are awesome! At first, I was also confused about the add-ons but after I decided to download SMSC Record, I actually really liked it. It could be its own app. I talked to the developer and he actually has plans to release many more free updates; he just thought that SMSC Record warranted charging an extra dollar and I have to say he's probably right.

The dev also told me that he already has these updates ready; however, he's going to wait until google works out its bugs on downloading updates before people get frustrated by not being able to download updates(the initial reason why I contacted him).

I'm going to have to agree with those who say that if you don't want the add-on, then don't buy it...you'll have your chance to get more free updates for this app for sure.

Dr Manhattan

He was exposed to radiation in some way that changed his "composition" He can be as large or small as he chooses, can be material or not. He became almost like a god, but one who doesn't actually give a crap about creation. This is not your regular superhero story. The good guys aren't always good and the bad guys aren't always bad.

I was disappointed by Watchmen. As far as comic movies go both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are better as well as V for Vendetta, probably Xmen 1 and 2 and maybe some others.

Taken as in the new one with Liam Neeson is a fun watch but I feel the direction could have made it better.

not that keen on neeson he ws ace in satisfaction though

[Off-topic] gypsygirl13:
I agree. Nowadays everyone relies on cgi and too much of special effects. What ever happened to good old fashioned action movies? I love the one man army theme, kinda like Die Hard but with heart.:)

As for Watchmen watched it last Friday. I was a bit disappointed. I wish I had chosen to watch something else. It wasn't an action hero movie, they should have rated it PG 15 or Rated R. The director was good though.
[Off-topic] crissg:
I wasn't dissappointed

Anyone who read the graphic novel knew Watchmen wasn't a superhero movie the way that Batman, or Spiderman is a superhero movie. The characters aren't archetypes of virtue, and like us, they don't always realize why they do what they do. Anyway, I thought the film stayed as true to the book as possible without being 6 hrs long.

I agree with the statement above about characters vs CGI effects. I haven't seen "taken" yet, but the last "one man army" movie I saw that i really enjoyed was "Man on Fire" with Denzel Washington. Incredible movie.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys,

The very first app I wrote for xda devs was SipSwitch, to allow one to change the SIP (software keyboard, transcriber etc) from a shortcut.

I was recently asked to support a particular feature in VJBrisk, which seemed to show a bug in SipSwitch. I couldn't find my old source code SipSwitch, so stupidly I re-wrote the whole thing from scratch. And it turned out that the bug wasn't in SipSwitch, but in the OS. Sigh.

Anyway, please take pleasure from my pain, and enjoy VJSipSwitch II.

This is entirely re-written, and probably buggy, so let me know.

VJSipSwitch II works like SipSwitch:

Make a shortcut to VJSipSwitchII, and specify command line parameters which match the name of the SIP you want to switch to.

Launch the shortcut and your phone will switch to that SIP.

This is useful if you want to, for example, always use SPB Keyboard as your default SIP.

eg:

"\Program Files\Vijay555\VJSipSwitchII\VJSipSwitchII.exe" spb keyboard

will switch to SPB Keyboard.

Bonus Feature:

If you launch VJSipSwitch II without a command line parameter it will now pop up a menu asking you which SIP to switch to. This is good for one handed use.

@irus:

It's an app I've developed for the Blackstone, VJVirtualMouseWinFX(code name only, for now!). A clearer screenshot is here.

It's a virtual mouse pad (left square), which acts like the optical mouse on the Samsung Omnia, an emulated dpad in the middle, and a zoomed in "preview" zone showing what's under the mouse pointer, on the right. This square also acts as the "left click" for the mouse.

Thanks vijay555

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cp8:
thank you for sharing!

It works on my phone. But one question, it seems a bit slow to pop up the muen, can it be a little faster?

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I don't think it can really - the slowest part, enumerating the SIPs, takes approx 350ms on my system, and that part can't really be made faster.

I'll have another look over the code to see if I can streamline it a bit further, but the slow bit can't be made much faster as it's OS dependent :(

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cp8:
Sorry and thank you! Maybe it's the problem of my phone, it's always slow to switch the input keyboard. It takes more than 1s to show up the muen:mad:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nothin:
i like whatever you make.

semi-unrelated question:

could you write sipicon window( on softkeybar etc) hider?

some soft seem to have problem with sipicon space, goddamn rectangle - it pops up not exactly where and when it should(sipicon is seen as window in taskman 3.x which can hide that thing, but it's not exactly pleasant/automated way..).

sipicon is annoying with wad, today replacements, softkeybar removal(sometimes), other soft..

your tool may be sipicon hider helper.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thierryb:
Thanks a lot, included the bonus.

And I am waiting your dpad too.

May I ask for three bonus?

- instead to have only one sip in the command line, alow more than one, and switch between them.

- add in your command line the capability to activate, deactivate, or switch between both status.

- have an exclusion list in your enumaration screen (this one is less, less useful, but useful)

Concerning enumeration of sips, may I propose you that you to not do it each time but use a cache (in memory if the application is resident, or in a file if not). And a command line to update the cache.

thanks a lot VJ
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
@nothin: I'll try to write something like this. Although easy to do achieve, a neat solution will be fairly messy to write I think (if anyone wants to, make a dll with a dummy wndproc for WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED, then inject this into the OS and subclass MS_SIPBUTTON's wndproc to point at the dll wndproc; this will save a process slot and resources).

@thierryb: caching the menu is probably a good idea; I will try it at some point, but I'm thinking that for the chance of a cache clash (ie the cache being invalid), and the extra code required to find, load and parse the cache, it probably won't be a great deal faster than enumerating from scratch. As I said, the OS SIP enumerator takes around 350ms. Registry enumeration takes around 400ms so I use the OS enumerator.

On my Blackstone, showing the menu takes less than 1second - it's not instant, but hopefully not a massive inconvenience. How long does it for the menu to come up on your devices?

This one is probably possible. I'll try to add this

This one is easy, but I'll have to add proper command line switches, eg

VJSipSwitchII.exe -sip "keyboard" -toggle

etc, and this will take more time.

again possible, but if this is for the sake of saving time, again, I will have to enumerate all sips merely to exclude one, so it'll be marginally slower, not faster! If it's for the sake of a neater menu, then it's a good idea.

I'm prioritising work on VJVirtualMouseWinFX for now, but if I find myself with some time I'll consider adding some of the above.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dark Knight:
Guys,

An alternative for switching keyboard for the SIP menu selection is available in the FingerMenu app (on this forum).

Basically it's a big button finger friendly method of changing all of the WM menu's to be more Manilla-ish. There is an option for taking over the SIP menu in the Options.

Just an alternative you could use for the Menu side of things...

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sergutel:
This is useful if you want to, for example, always use SPB Keyboard as your default SIP.eg:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Making a shortcut

Guys,

Read here to find out how to make a shortcut with a command line

http://www.vijay555.com/?Help:Command_Lines

@nothin: although that works, it's best to write

69#"path\to\exe.exe" my command line

The 69 should be the length of the .lnk file, although it is ignored by the OS, so can be any number.

However, VJBrisk 0.4 onwards uses the # to identify the .lnk, so if you're using VJBrisk with VJSipSwitch II (which was the start of the development of VJSipSwitch II), then it's best to make a proper .lnk file.
