Long pressing in the GUI would be a lot smoother if you weren't bound by using "File Explorer" but could use Total Commander or something else...

I still can't find the post that talks about how to edit the Icons.xml.

I've opened it with notepad but it looks very confusing to me. There are already a bunch of typos in it it...which may be why I have blank icons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I greayed it out since the added UI.

Here it is again

Icons.xml

Edit the icons.xml file with notepad on your PC.

The start each window with the text <screen>; and end each window with the text </screen>. So every “<screen> … </screen>” you have, will be a window of icons. You can put as many as will fit and you do not need to fill a window before adding icons to the next window. For the bottom bar insted of screen add <bottombar> </bottombar> The icons inside these will be in the static bottom.

Now for the icons:

You will need to know what icon picture you want, where the file it points to is located on your phone and if it is one of the 7 special icons. We will use the following example:

<icon name="You Tube" image="youtube.png" exec="\windows\youtube.exe" parameters="" type="0" execAlt="" ParametersAlt=""/>

1. <icon

Start with the text <icon this tells the program this is an icon

2. name="You Tube"

This icon will be called “You Tube”; this is the text under the icon

3. image="youtube.png"

This is what the icon looks like. Stored your icons in the “iPhone Today\icons” folder. If the icon is somewhere else, it will not display correctly. For this icon, I am using the youtube.pgn picture;

4. exec="\windows\youtube.exe"

when pressed, it will run the youtube link stored in my windows folder. You can have any icon run an exe, link/shortcut, and mortscript file.

5 parameters=""

this is a command that is passed to the program. Say you use a phone dailer, this is where the phone number goes

6 type="0"

Select “0” for most icons. Here you select if the icon is special: (0:Normal, 1: Missed Calls, 2: Unread SMS, 3: Unread MMS, 4: Unread Email, 5: Calendar + Nexts Appointments, 6: Incompleted Tasks, 7: Calendar without notification bubble)

7 execAlt=""

This is normally blank, unless it is one of the 7 icons. This is what program runs when the icon is on notifaction.

8 ParametersAlt=""

this is a command that is passed to the Alt program.

9. />

End with the text/>

10. Remember special characters will cause your screen to just be black; for example here are SOME not all that have caused me problems:

!@#$%^&*()_+-=,.?

I had my pictures icon go to exec=”\windows\pictures & videos.lnk” the “&” sign crashed it. Once I renamed the file to ”pictures.lnk”; it worked.

I am keen to the new version or final version. Thank you for this good project that has changed the lives of my mobile.

A welcome and thank you for this program:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Well after a lot of work, I found how to make this work.

1. Open the file in notepad

2. replace all of the startmenü with just startmenu; I know it's wrong, but it will at least make your icon show up.

3.Now load the new modified icons.xml to your phone and they should at least display. (I have a QVGA device so I was unable to test the settings file, but it should work, I did not see any errors.)

4. Now the long part; press and hold each icon, replace the "u" in starmenu with the ü. Since you are using the UI; it will code the ü correctly.

I am sure for anyone else using simurlar characters; this will fix the same issue. I do not recommend changing your folder startmenü name as this will crash your start menu. The other option is to write link files, aim the icons.xml at the shortcuts, and let the shortcuts deal with the ü

Maybe an idea to get D-MAN666's code for arranging and adding icons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stevieray:
Hi Eric! I'm still reading these postings (and others) and now want to start installation - can you please explain, why you combined rlToday (just only for the clock) and iPhoneToday?

As I saw in rlToday-threads, there exists a lot of iPhone-alike rlToday-Screens which include the iPhone-Icons for app launching too.

Where is the adantage in using both? I am confused :confused:

Can you Eric or anybody help me to understand?

Thx a lot!

Anyway I like the iPhoneToday very much :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] efjbdejong:
rltoday doesnot use multiple pages I think.

Also I have seen installation manuals and they are difficult. To many steps to take.

Iphonetoday is simple.

Eric
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AndyJ91:
Here's my iPhoneToday folder, the one that's in the root directory.

The links (most of them at least) will be correct for EnergyROM 3.0 users (Touch Pro/Fuze), if they didn't move programs around.

In it there's a background similar to the one on the iPhone (black with grey line on the fixed icons), it's made to fit the TP/Fuze.

Also there are the icons I've found, to match my apps.. They are bigger than the 85 height I've set in settings (so they will display clearly), except for a couple of 60x60s, who get stretched a bit.

By the way, I use TouchFLO as my interface, but I put iPhoneToday in SecondToday, so i can switch between the 2 in a second. It works great. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
iPhone Background

I have attached a few iPhone OEM background pictures for QVGA, WVGA and VGA (sorry don;t know what other sizes there ar eout there; let me know and I'll make one).

[EDIT]

NEVER MIND, the bottom bar image is all wrong; I'll fix and repost
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trjons:
I really like this application but what happens to me is something ends up getting corrupted in the settings and then when I reset or turn on the phone, it hangs and I have to hard reset. Because it is in the Today screen and there is no way to bypass it, it becomes a major PAIN in the you know what. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ad25121048:
I found that if I use the built in editor to delete icons it messes up the icons.xml file. Best to do it on the PC and then send it back. Also it's a pain having to find your own icons for your apps. It would have been nice to have the problem copy all the programs in Start-Program into the icons.xml automatically and check for changes incase you install a new app or remove one. Since the development of this seems to have stopped I've gone back to Touch Flo on my HD. Shame as it has realy potential.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I love this program, I would really like to have button press animations and the option to circle the pages, but even though the newest iFonz has all of this plus an easier UI I keep coming back to this. The speed is unmatched. I hope new versions keep coming, thanks for all of your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trjons:
The newest iFonz configures VERY easy and is quick too. I'd like to make this work, I just hate having to keep hard resetting my unit :-/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moesfeld:
Build in editor works fine for me. I don´t think development has stopped. The first updates were commig way fast and the next update is taking a little longer because of the background problem.

When there is support for using the program-icons I will try to create a mortscript that copys the start menu/Program links into the xml
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
look at post 534

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3853489&postcount=534

Thanks to Modulus, who had the same issue, created a cab that kills iPhone Today on startup. So if your today screen crashes, just soft reset and it kills the plug in so you do not need to hard reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I use NoTodayPlugins and have it run on start up, then made it one of my soft keys. Then I open iPhoneToday once my device has stabilized. Hope that helps.

How can i put a icon to my Option folder? windows\start menu\option (in germen Einstellungen) ?

In read something about a file explorer.lnk for the Execute and at the Parameters something link "\windows\startmenü\einstellungen\" but I dont have a file explorer.lnk for Execute.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shiek:
one problem follows the next....

Thats now the second time, that iPhoneToday wouldnt work and i only have a black screen...

I edit something in the settings.xml and after turning iPhoneToday off and on, i have a blackscreen.... why? What can i do against this problmem?

To fix this problem, i have to uninstall iPhone Today, delet the iPhone Today folder and have to install everything once more. But than, all the settings i made are away and i have to do this work again... that sucks!

I made a backup of the Today folder, but wenn i put the backup on my Touch HD nothing is working and i have to uninstall everything again... please help me!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FoneBone:
you need to save the xml files in unicode-format. maybe that's the problem. just use the windows own notepad. hope this will be helpful. regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shiek:
ah ich seh grad das du auch aus Deutschland kommst! ^^

Also ich habe die xml files nicht am Laptop geändert sondern über das Programm auf meinem HD.

Und irgendwann ist es dann immer abgeschmiert und hat nicht mehr funktioniert, nach einer Änderung in der settings.xml obwohl ich nur an der Größe der Symbole oder des kompletten Screens rumgespielt hab.

Wenn ich jetzt auf eine spätere Version wechseln würde, z.b. 0.7, müsste ich dann wieder alle icons neu einstellen usw?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
You create an Icon to the program that you use to explore your files. My phone is english and uses file explorer. Then the parameters is where the file you want to open is.

Do not use the editor on the phone, it does not save correctly. Also are there any special characters you are using? I found if you have a foilder with a ü in the name, the only way to code the icons.xml file is with the GUI

This is an engligh forum, plewase trtanslate so I can help. Sorry. TO answer what I think is your question, if you change to 0.7; as long as you backup your icons and settings xml fiules, they will work perfectly. I just removed 0.6 and installed 0.7; added the backtransparent to the settings files and everything worked. Good luck
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shiek:
You understood what i have wrote in my last posting!^^

I hope that this will work without any problems, if i change from 06. to 07.

I had a lot of problems today with the iphontoday....

E.g. my alarm (clock) dont work since i have installed the iphoneToday... (the HTC Alarm and GAlarm... both arent working)

Someone know, where is the Problem?

@ the file explorer topic: I would like to but the settings on an icon on the today screen, but i don't know, how this should work?!

And does someone know, how i can put some Features of the TF3D as on icon on the today screen? For example the small Settings menue.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tay_kokhwa@yahoo.com.sg:
The animation works but blank page appear first. Also choosing ok to save changes does not closed the program. You can however directly edit the icon.xml to effect the animations. However the loop from first to last page and vice versa does not work.

Anyway thanks for the hard work.

How can I enable the starting animation?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
There is a way out when you save changes using config UI. Click on Yes to save the changes. You will remain on the screen. Now close the UI and say NO to save the changes. This way the changes will be saved and you will return to desktop
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cherrro:
Hello MiToNiOeS,

I'm testing your last new version 0.8.

I have the same bug : when i edit an icon, i put ok when i finish config or modifying, after there is the window asks to save 'yes' or 'no', if i put 'yes' it doesn't close icon settings. I must put 'yes' the first time, then ok > 'no' second time to save changes.

On next version or update, is it possible to add an option to active the animation (when launch a program) for all icons. So we don't have to check it for each icon (just one time), for exemple add it as backtransparent option.

What is transactions in circles for change page? Is it colors in tiny circle indicate which page you are in?

Animation works fine ;-)

Thx for your work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fabius88:
hi,

I've installed iphone today, but when I choose one icon (for example contactos..calculadora..opera..everything) it appear this message: "shortcut target" then "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".

well, what have I to do?

thanks ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michaelpegaso:
Well thank you very much for the update. Right now I have sat my omnia in repairing the screen. But when you have this program and to settle for me has become imperative.

Once again thank you very much for the work they're doing.

Sorry for my English.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GoingInside:
Yes, same bug for the 'yes' does not close the dialog. So have to 'yes' and 'no' to close :) if you know what I mean.

Surprised that so many can't make it work. It's a great software. I've no problem starting from 0.4 to 0.7 or 0.8 (still testing). But the startup. transition everything is smooth. Keep it up!

Thank you again for such a great software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
It should. You may weant to back up your icons and settings files. Uninstall 0.6, install 0.7 and copy the icons and settings files back order. test it, make sure it runs, then add the transparent background.

The alarm clock issue is new, anyone else have this issue? See if it changes with 0.7.

As for settings? Do you want icons that point to settings? If so; I created a bunch of shortcuts (on post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3858035&postcount=546) to different settings. Copy those to a folder and aim the icnons at those settings shortcuts.

You are very welcome, anything I can do to help; this is THE BEST iPhone application I have used, and I have used at least 12 different ones. The speed and how the icons look are the best.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Just installed 0.8 (test version.again); still has the issue with exiting the UI icon settings. When in the UI, select ok, select yes; then have to select ok again then no to exit. EDIT, I have not tires 0.8b yet. Will try and repost...Also I tried to manually code for the animations for the icons (I have a lot) and iPhone would not take it; using notepad on the PC. I had to go in one by one in the UI to add the animation. The other changes are very nice, thank you. :D:D Also still running very fast. it has to do with that I have a QVGA.

What is the transitions in the circles mean? :confused: Sorry confused?

!!!!!TIP FOR EVERYONE!!!!!

When you goto install a new version.

1. Backup your icon.xml, settings.xml and icons folder

2. Uninstall iPhone Today

3. Soft Reset your phone do not skip this!!

4. install new version

5. Copy back over icon.xml, settings.xml and icons folder

6. Soft Reset your phone do not skip this!!

So far this works every time, and elimates files being overwritten and causing it to crash.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
Same problems as before (0.7, 0.8) here, Touch HD:

- always slow, no way to speed it up

- if i disable and then enable again the plugin, it screws up my device (soft reset needed)

- it disables topaz/rhodium menu enhancement

So, once again, i had to revert back to 0.6.1b
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
this works great on my touch pro, super fast, animations are great (not in .8a but .8b the animations are flawless), not more weird border on my icons, great work!! I'll see if my gwes.exe swells after time like in previous versions but bar none the best iphone clone I've tried, thank you!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moesfeld:
Hi MiToNiOeS,

GREAT WORK ONT THE STARTUP/SHUTDOWN ANIMATIONS

animations are fluid even after reloading (but already were fluid for me allso in 0.7 on my ks20 qvga)

Some bugs i noticed:

- pink font with clear type enabled

- I still have the distortion around my icons (.png with transparency)

- gwes.exe swelling but less then previous versions

- starting animation is working but if the program takes to long to load the shutdown animation starts

Features missing to make it perfect for me:

- exe for refreshing icons

- different background for every page (guess that would solve most of the speed/transparency problems since it´s done in your program -> no need for TransparentBlt dynamic but only once on startup/refresh)

- option to put different jpegs into the startup animation for every program (or at least set different colors of the startup/shutdown animation)

- when an app is closed take a screenshot and use this for the shutdown animation (if that is even possible)

As usual this release is just great THX
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sergy330:
Good new release

0.8b works perfect on my Touch Diamond.

Mito Rules :D

See U in HTCMania forum ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trjons:
I am stuck trying to figure out how to assign this to a soft key. To what exe do I point the soft key?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
you install NoTodayPlugins, you activate iPhoneToday as a Today item, point your softkey to NoTodayPlugins.exe and it will toggle iPhoneToday off and on when selected. hope that helps

Keyboard icon showing at the bottom

Hi,

First of all, thanks to MiToNiOeS for a great app. I have switched from my rlToday launcher to this. However, I'm seeing a problem (that I didn't see in rlToday). I use novueBar to remove the bottom softkeys, however, if the keyboard is still activated (say upon exit of calendar), it shows up on the today screen. It goes off if I rotate the screen... I'm guessing the refresh isn't working quite right.

MiToNiOeS, could you add an option to refresh the today screen upon coming back to it? I realize this could slow things down for some people, but otherwise, it's quite ugly for me.

thx

Hello!

Can you please give me / us some details of your fine skin / theme, ie

- which tools did you use for the top task bar (icons)?

- where to load these black icons?

- how did you make the clock (is it rlToday)?

- how did you manage to use the hole display? I mean especially the bottom task bar over the 2 softkeys: on my diamond it seems that there is a reserved region for icons like activesync, bt, PI etc. ?
