I'm using the latest 0.9. So do i still need to mess with the settings and icons .xml? No right? But i added the icons but no icons appear!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cherrro:
Hello, i just want to know how to put comment in settings.xml file.

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tay_kokhwa@yahoo.com.sg:
Hi. This is getting to be a wonderful iphone-like UI. The best I have come across so far.

The new version is very good. However I dont seems to be able to get the correct landscape height. I am using Omnia WQVGA with no bottom bar, rltoday date time plugin and my portrait height is 353. Is there a relationship between portrait and landscape height? What L height should I use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
You need to use version 0.7 or newer, then in the settings file add the line <backTransparent>1</backTransparent>

This will make your background clear so you can see the today background. If you all ready have that, chnge your background on the today screen. That has nothing to do with this program. If you need help there PM me.

The icons folder is missing, I'll upload one when I get home today in a post down the line

Kinda, you can use your old file, but you need to add the

<factorMov>5</factorMov> for landscape to work. If the icons do not apper, chances are there is a problem with your icons.xml file

Please be be paitent, this is not a chat room and may take some of use a while to respond. For now no, there is not a way to add a comment. This is an xml file not a c++ or asm file. If someone else know of a way, please post

edit

Just tested it (thanks to moesfeld below) <!-- Put comment here --> works

Do you have QVGA or WVGA (WQVGA does not exist); Send me a screen shot of your current screen and I can map it to a working size
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
@j101399j: THANKS! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moesfeld:
If Iphonetoday reads the standard xml you can comment like this

<!-- Put comment here -->

I havent tested but I will give it a try and report back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Modulus_1:
<!-- Normally an XML comment goes like this -->

As can be read about here or anywhere else really.. However, I haven't tried comments in icons.xml or settings.xml since iPT tends to crash when i do anything fun. So, give it a whirl!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's VGA since 353 > 320 (QVGA max portrait height) and way less than ~750 or whatever the WVGA people are running..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
I use the official Msxml2, but i rewrite the xml when exists changes and if exists some comments i not rewrite it...

Yupp,

you are even faster than me.

But just like you said for weather forecast for IPhonetoday look here

Only QVGA for now but feel free to create Icons backgounds for different resolutions and upload them.

Please don´t use it together with my s2p script for now. I will update my s2p script to work together with my weather script and fix some bugs aswell.

0.9

Hi,

I'm testing 0.9

Portraitworks fine before rotation.

Landscape the bottom dock covers the icons.

Then rotate back to portrait , bottom dock disappears.

Anyone else has this?

Eric
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] savrix85:
Yes, I've got the same problem.

I have to set the same size for Landscape and Portrait to avoid the problem, but the scrollbar shows up in Landscape mode
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
Try with disable and active the plugin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] savrix85:
I've tried, but it happens again once I rotate the display
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I had the same issue. Are you using the new setting file? I found I was missing the

<factorMov>5</factorMov>

Once added, everything worked perfectly.

Can anyone assist to upload the Icons&Settings zip file TOGETHER with the icons folder in it? The one on the first post is missing the icons folder in it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
There is something wrong with XDA so here is a link to a simple icons.xml, a settings file (updated for 0.9), and a folder of many icons

Have fun :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donchen:
I was editing the settings.xml to change from a 3 row icons to 4 row icons. and then when i did a refresh. Everything was gone.

The entire iphoneToday is gone.

Below is my settings file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donchen:
I really dunno what happened.

I even tried what j101399j posted above. I installed the latest iPhoneToday 0.9.1.

I can't get it to show at all...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
1. Uninstall the iPhoneToday, remove the iPhoneToday folder from root and iPhoneTodayCab folder from Program Files

2. Restart the phone

3. Reinstall the iPhoneToday on phone memory

4. Create a folder "iPhoneToday" on root and copy the files

5. Go to today, uncheck iPhoneToday

6. Restart the Phone

7. Go to today and check iPhoneToday

when you say restart = soft reset ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Yes: restart = soft reset
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donchen:
Just tried what you suggested above. Doesn't work. Are you using iPhoneToday 0.9.1 ?

Could it be the problem of 0.9.1?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] efjbdejong:
I have tried this but no luck,

It has nothing to do with the resolution of the Omnia (240x400)?

Also I am wondering how the proces works switching portrait to landscape.

How are the icons organised after the rotation, are the icons scaled to make it fit?

Eric
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
I am using version 0.9. Havent tried 0.9.1. You can give it a shot on 0.9
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donchen:
It is very inconsistent. I dunno what i did and the icons appeared. Then i went to add more icons. I proceed to install NueNoBar to remove the bottom bar and it prompted me to do a reset. So i did. Once i resetted, all my icons went away again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donchen:
jaskiratsingh, did you managed to get NueNoBar to work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Yes...NueNoBar 2.0 is working for me.

PS: I havent tried 0.9.1. I am still on 0.9
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] efjbdejong:

jaskiratsingh, can you post a screenshot of your phone? And what phone are you using?

WM6.5?

I am using HTC Touch Cruise with WM6.5 ROM. I can't seem to get NueNoBar to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Modulus_1:
Whoa!! WQVGA exists!!!! it's not urban legend!

I am running 8.1 because anything higher than that kills my bottom bar after a landscape to portrait switch.. I don't really like landscape mode anyway, it's too crowded.. I think the bottom bar should become the sidebar, and the icons should swipe vertically instead of horizontally in landscape mode. it seems like that'd be easier anyway.. just twist everything 90 degrees and keep it all going as is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] whitealien:
I use iPhoneToday 0.9.1 with pcarvalho 3D ROM on Cruise and it works good. Sometimes only keyboard softkey does not hide, but I think it is related to ezInput Keyboard or 3D drivers. Today screen refresh removes it so its not a big deal.

Wierd bugs

My be version 0.9; gonna try 0.9.1 and see; so this post may be useless. Interimintally ladscape will stop working correctly; bottom bar overlaps 3rd row and only 4 icons per row insted of 6. I tried softreset, no luck. Then I reinstalled 0.9; soft reset and everything started working again. I did not change anything, did not add any icons, nothing. Just stopped working and reinstalling 0.9 fixed it. Have no idea

To change the keyboard softkey, keep the refresh to min 10 and remove the entry <backTransparent>value</backTransparent>. The same issue happens to me but with this step, it is resolved. You can try that

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
What am I missing here? I installed the 0.9.1 cab to ram, copied the two xml files in the Icons zip into the \program files\iphonetodaycab folder, but my today screen seems to freeze and I have to soft reset. Nothing is ever shown, just the blank today screen and I can't do anything else. Right now it looks like I'll have to do some trickery to get the phone to operate again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Please read the walkthrough carefully. The very 1st step addresses this

http://james27007.tripod.com/iPhone-Install.htm

You do not put the files into the \program files\iphonetodaycab folder. They get thier own filder \iPhone Today.

(File 1 is the installed file, DO NOT TOUCH)

(Folder 2, is the folder you unzipped with the icons and settings files)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Winker-Omnia:
Anyone notice a little line down the right of the today screen showing a strip from the previous screen, or the background image....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Okay, I missed the tut.. Seems this should be included in the cab.. I'll keep trying.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] whitealien:
This did not worked for me. But j101399j method did. Thanx m8. I reduced screen height from 294 to 292 and keyboard disappear. Cool. The only thing now is that I need to use black background otherwise 3 pixels will be visible from it. Not a big deal anyway
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yep, screw this. I'll look back when this just works. The zip file just contains two files, xml, no icons, no icon folder. There's no directory name, without the prep there's no suggestions of how these files should placed. I tried "iPhoneToday" "iPhone Today" etc, always just a blank screen, no indications of anything else.

Installation should be a handful of steps, period. There should be some basic common items in the config, at least enough to show something like IE, File Manager, etc.. There's zero indication of anything being wrong, etc.

I just wanted something I could have more apps showing in Pocket Plus without more tabs but it's nowhere near the trouble that this program is to even INSTALL, adding each program is not even in the picture yet.

EDIT: Figured out why it wasn't running. The directory for the settings is "iPhoneToday", not "iPhone Today" as on the website. I had two sets of them, and I kept fiddling with "iPhone Today" because that's what it said. So when I edited the settings in that path, it still would not launch. I just found another post saying it was "iPhoneToday" so I copied the settings that I'd edited into there, and now it launches... Can't get an icon to set, etc, but I'll fool with that more.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I am very sorry, I notcied the error in my walkthrough; will fix tonight
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbhocky19:
dont be that sorry

i too was confused back when i first installed but i actually looked at your image walkthroughs and by using logic and trial and error i made it work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbhocky19:
it shouldnt be included in the cab because if it was then everytime you installed it would overwrite the past setup

still have the scroll bar on the right for no reason in landscape

any fix?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fr0st420:
Anyone know why the Icons aren't in the icons and settings.zip file anymore?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4018226&postcount=891

Large file, but it's there.

I'm still screwing with it, not sure why.. At least it's installed and I can set things up now.

Can icons be on the SD card? Will it make them slow to appear? And are the icons cached in ram, therefore using ram for each one which is in use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donchen:
This is really weird.

I installed back 0.9. And did a hard reset of my phone. It still didn't appear. Then i kept trying to on and off the iPhoneToday at today screen. Then it just wouldn't appear. Then i not sure what I did, it appeared again. So i happyily added my icons and such.

Went to bed ... and woke up in the morning.

Had a sms this morning and then my phone got jammed. So I thought its just a common problem since its WM and i am using pcarvalho eXtreme ROM 3.19. So i soft reset my phone. and WTF! My iphoneToday doesn't load again!!!!! I did not even change anything. Did not touch ANY xml files or what so ever. It just didn't appear. Tried to switch on and off the iPhoneToday at today screen doesn't help.

Sigh... so problematic....

Any suggestions?

Attached are my icons and settings xml.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I have found since iPhoneToday loads just a little bit before the SD card, the icons will not be there.

Before 0.9 I could use a higher screen portrait value (346)

Now the max is 338. Otherwise landscape wont display icons correct.(this boggles me since the portraitvalue influences the landscapevalue)

I use the bottombar. I used to use rltoday for a clock, but since it wont work correctly with landscape (to little room left for Iphonetoday) I dont use it anymore.

Hope a clock will be integrated in Iphonetoday.

I still have a problem when returning from landscape to portrait , the bottom dock of Iphonetoday is not visible. The buttons are there and they work, I just cant see them.

I really hope somebody can help me with this.

This is the best Iphoneclone on PPC in my opninion.

I just need a clock and I am ready to go.

Maybe removing the bottom bar will help me with my problems.

Because of the mixed reports I get of neunobar working and not working I have not installed this.

greetings from the Netherlands,

From what I have learned nueNoBar seems to work for everybody....it is just a wild and somewhat unpredictable mixture of what version works and what not. But as nueNoBar seems to be uninstable quite hassle-free, I'd recommend to just go and try it out. One of the version (1.3. / 2.0) will most likely work for you, too :-)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
You're talking about two applications here. Are you aware of that? Aka. Have you installed a software to get rid of the bottom bar such as nueNoBar?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donchen:
Oh shucks! It works!!! Thanks!

But then how do i add a sms icon?

j101399j taught us to use VJPhoneTools to add a shortcut to dial a user. I downloaded VJPhoneTools. For shortcut to call a user, I pointed to VJDialer and added the telephone number under paramenters.

For shortcut to sms a user, I pointed to VJSms and added the number under parameters. But according to

http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJPhoneTools the usage is as follows:

VJSMS is also used the same as the old version,

eg: "\Program Files\vijay555\VJSMS.exe" "12345" -body "I want to give you money!"

Hence I added extra "" (quotes) because under parameters, I entered "123456789"

Any idea how to solve this?

My icons are in the Phone memory under /iPhoneToday/icons
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stevieray:
Hello!

Sorry Sir.John - I think eternum didn't mean a bottom bar, he talked about a bar on the right.

So eternum, you probably are using a setting.xml given to you earlier that was designed for WVGA - that device has more vertical pixel so you will see a vertical scrolling bar. That's normal.

You have to decrease this value in the settings.xml, ie:

<screenHeigth>500</screenHeigth>

The correct value depends on other design decisions for your device, ie:

- use the whole screen for iPhoneToday's icons?

- reserve some space for rlToday's clock on top?

- use an extra 'non-sliding' bottom bar with iPhoneToday's icons?

- use the (normally reserved) space of the bottom soft keys from windows (can be disabled with nueNoBar)

I have an HTC Diamond with VGA and I'm still trying the best settings ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donchen:
Does removing the bottom bar using NueNoBar allow the iPhoneToday's bottom bar to move down too ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
Stevieray: you may well be right, thanks for the heads up :-)

donchen:yes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] duesi64:
Hello,

read first this:

http://james27007.tripod.com/iPhone-Install.htm#NewIcons

and here he says:

"...Warning If you add quotations (“) to parameters it will crash the plug-in!..."

So you have to create .lnk files to solve the problem when you need "" in parameters.

CU
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
The best way around this i to either create s shortcut with these parameters or a mortscript, then posit the icon at the shortcut. Now now parameters are used at all. Short on time at the moment, I'll post an example later

Yes, it gives you 25 more pixels to work with
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
What's interesting is that so far after several soft resets, they always appear... It's added about 10s to the boot time, but..

iPhoneToday is inside of Pocket Plus, so there's a chance that the additional delay loading it gives the SD card time to settle.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
To create a shortcut with parameters

To create a shortcut with parameters

1. Open notepad on your computer

2. Type the one line command (see below)

3. Save as AnyName.lnk (replace AnyName with the name of the shortcut).

Now you have created a link with parameters and no more errors with quotations "

Lets take these 2 shortcuts with parameters

64#"\Program Files\Total Commander\cecmd.exe" "\Windows\Start Menu"

51#\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "Hotmail" -Open "Inbox"

1. The numberbefore the # is the total number of characters in the link

2. The # sign says this is code, it is needed for all links

3 #"\Program Files\Total Commander\cecmd.exe" This is the location the link points to. The quotations here is needed becasue there is a space in Total Commander. Since the second link \Windows\tmail.exe does not have a spcae in the path, the quotations are not needed.

4. Next the parameters. This is typed the same way you type any parameter; for this example (there is a space in Start Menu, so Quotations are used again, but not always needed. You only need quotations if there is a space. You can then pass commands and parameters. For the second example when you open the tmail.exe file, you tell it to open the service Hotmail and open hotmail's Inbox. You have to understand a little more on coding to make custom parameters, but you get the idea. As for a phone number, here is what the link will look like:

48#"program files\vijay555\vjdialer.exe" 8881234567

This will open vjdialer.exe and call 8881234567

Another neat trick is using the comma in a phone number. For example in your contacts, you call John at 8881234567 and have to always dial extension 9999. So you can skip that by adding ,9999 after the number. The number of commas will dictate the seconds your phone will wait before it dials the extension. So 8881234567,9999 will dial 8881234567 once connected, will wait one second then dial 9999. No more needing to remeber extensions. I have a lot at my work and can't remeber them all.

Now back to the point, this also work in the link for John here is what his link will look like:

53#"program files\vijay555\vjdialer.exe" 8881234567,9999

save this text file as John_Desk.lnk
