Hey, thanks a lot...didn't know that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Modulus_1:
Sir.John meant to say WVGA..

If WQVGA existed, it might be 240x400..

QVGA = 240x320

VGA = 480x640

WVGA = 480x800

As for my current setup:

Device: Sprint Touch Pro

Device Resolution: VGA - 480x640

Do you have the bottom bar: yes

What is your screen height? w/ bottom bar still there: 440

What is the size of your icons(iconWidth): 86

Modulus is of course right. I just

shouldn't post that late. Sorry :-/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Modulus_1:
I'd hate for someone to think WQVGA was the latest and greatest..

:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I think it was my falt, I asked for WQVGA, I added an extra Q; I ment WVGA. In case anyone is interested, here is what screen sizes are available

CGA 320 X 200

QVGA 320 X 240

VGA 640 X 480

WVGA 800 X 480

(I don't think the following comes as a phone screen yet)

WVGA.b 854 X 480

SVGA 800 X 600

For now I think that is a big as they come

Thank you for the ones that sent me your settings, hugh help. Still working on screen settings, anyone else?

Bug: Freeze when icon (or exe?) can't be found

I have 8.0b version and I started to have big problem with freezing. It happen when plugin is loading. Nothing is shown and device completely freeze. It happens immidietly after softreset (and loading home plugin) so i have to do hard reset to get to my phone:(. I gues problem is in loading (extracting) icons from exe or dll when the file could not be found (was deleted, moved, application was uninstalled and so on).

Could you make some "try, catch" blocks for this? :)

Now I am worry to set up my device, because this error can happen again whenever I forget to remove any single icon after uninstalling program.

One lost icon = hard reset.

I also wonder if you guys know any utility, which disables loading home screen plugins (and auto start programs) if some key is pressed during soft reset.

Thank you for any help, suggestions. And also I want say thanks for this software which is, althrough this bug, still the best iPhone runner. Great job.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stevieray:
please tell about the grid...

Hello again to everyone, especial to MiToNiOeS!

Because vga screen of my Diamond is tiny - in comparism to the iPhone ;) - I would like to use an "icon optimized" screen.

If I design (or look for) fine self explaining icons, I don't need any (sub)titles to explain the icon above.

Unfortunately the "virtual grid" seems to occupy a defined numer of pixel for both, icon and the title beneeth.

Is that correct?

If you don't draw the screen based on a fixed grid, but dynamically (depending on settings.xml), step by step, first the icon (with the defined measures) and then the title - if any - this would be very nice for me and woun't change anything for the others.

If I remember my earlier days as I was a software developer too ;), you will already use variables or dynamic parameters for the coordinates of any screen position. So it could not be too difficult for you or need fundamental changes.

It would be very nice and friendly if you could give me/us any feedback on this :)

Another question btw: it seems that you use a fixed margin on the left and right site of the icons. Can you give us a parameter for this too in settings.xml?

Thank you very much for your work!

(soft)reset needed after testing some settings...

As already mentioned here, my Diamond has to be reseted after several tests of different settings.

How did I do this? -->disable and enable again iPT in todays setting

Is there another posibility to let iPT refresh the xml-settings?

@bbonzz: if I don't use transparent background, would v06.1b satisfactoring for me - and perhaps more stable and light?

Thanks!

And again: Any idea to suppress icon titles?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sonynakata:
waiting for support landscape.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Modulus_1:
It's not the lack of icons causing the freezing, it's a mal-formed xml settings or icons file, most likely icons.xml.

Did you add something like: -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"

to one of your icon's parameters?

iPhoneToday doesn't verify that an xml document is valid before attempting to load it. This causes it to apparently crash on load, and without some special application, there's no way around it except a hard reset. Some people say you can just keep resetting, but that didn't work for me.

An app called No Plugins Today, or No Today Plugins, i forget which, will kill all plugins at boot, but then you have to re-enable them..

I've found the best thing to do is to NOT use the parameters option, and instead, create custom links to SMS or whatever you'd otherwise specify in the parameters option.

I only use the built-in tool to add/edit/remove icons, and i only link to shortcuts. Specifying parameters won't work with any " in the value.

MiToNiOeS:

Skip the clock ;)

My vote is for landscape mode.. you're already auto-arranging the icons, I'd change the width and height, but keep the bottomBar where it is, maybe spin the icons and text 90 degrees, or leave the text and just spin the icons..

I also vote for XML settings validation on launch

OR

Smart launching that won't load if it didn't load successfully the previous launch. Here, psuedocode:

IF \iPhoneToday\appRunning EXISTS

THEN EXIT

ELSE

create \iPhoneToday\appRunning

load settings and icons files

delete \iPhoneToday\appRunning

hi, if possible can you add a clock in it? like idiamond had? thx it would be helpful
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
There is a program posted her earlier that disables iPhoneToday on every phone startup. It is a pain since you have to turn on iPhone today everytime you turn your phone on. BUT if the plug in crashes, all you have to do is soft reset.

look at post 534

http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=534

Thanks to Modulus, who had a simular 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] bbonzz:
Yes. At least, it's what it does on my Blackstone

why is it in spanish? ps i loves this app so far im gonna mod it up. how can i add add time to the today so it shows the current time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Spanish? The app is in English, if you are refering to the days on the calender, you change that in the settings file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HaiLe512:
If you do lots of testing then it is best to install secondtoday and select iphonetoday as it plug in. You can terminate and relaunch secondtoday after you make changes to iphonetoday anytime. :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scabbard1:
Just wondering if we could use .ico files for icons. Lotta threads and the search function doesn't help. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Modulus_1:
That's actually nothing more than a single regedit:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\iPhoneToday\Enabled = 0

It's not really an app, but a cab, and will require you to click 'install' on boot to disable iPhoneToday, also, it requires some lightning fast reflexes to click all of the required buttons before IPT locks the phone up. using No Plugins Today is a much more reliable way to disable IPT on boot, as it requires no user interaction and thus is instant.

the KillIPT.cab sometimes takes a few resets to click everywhere in time to disable IPT. Also, if you've already used it once, it will warn you that you've already installed it, so unless you uninstall it after you boot normally, the chances of it working again are even worse, since you have to click one more place before IPT locks.

So, KillIPT gives you the option to disable or not disable on reset.

No Plugins Today instantly and reliably disables IPT and all other plugins on boot... decide for yourself, but something is better than nothing, and when/if you modify your xml and miss something, you're going to be hard resetting..

I have not tried, but since png files work great and they are easier to find. I recommend using png files. plus they look better and have transparent properties so they have nice corners.

is there a working oem for this yet
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Modulus_1:
OEM : Original Equipment Manufacturer

There's no such thing as a working OEM for a piece of software.

MiToNiOeS, you should rename the app to iPhoneHoy, that'll throw people for a loop.. haha.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sonynakata:
hope the new version support these function.

1.support landscape.

2.support transparency of icon.

3.add a “press effect”,when I press a button，the icon will be dark or small.

thanks for the great work.MiToNiOeS :)

and any chance cause "settings.XML" support chinese.when I change "Mon" to Chinese.the iphonetoday not work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Are you looking for an OEM package so you can cook this into a rom? The problem is every phone is different and has file locations and spellings difference from one another. It could be created, but it will take a lot of work. The best option (if you are a cook, even if for personal use only) is to create a cab for your settings and icons (all ready set for the phone); so they install into the correct location with the correct settings, using that cab and the install cab create an OEM package (you can find this in the cooking section). That way your ROM will place the files where needed and install iPhone Today.

As for your question, this app gets updated on a regular basis, so by the time an OEM package is created, there may all ready be a change.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] whitealien:
Exactly

Whats missing is default install cab, what can be made quite easy. Pack could include few icons and one screen setup already with windows default programs like file explorer, sms, mail, photo, wmp etc. Those are located in windows folder so there won't be language or location problems. Also will need to make cabs for different screen resolutions qvga, vga...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
This is a lot harder then it looks. Not only would you need a different package for the 4 screen resolutions, but also for if they have the bottom bar or not (so 8 total OEM packages). And every time there is a change or update/release these packages would need to be created every time. On top of that depending on which language is used, windows is not always spelled windows.

Realistically it is a lot more complicated then I am making it out to be.

sorry, i dont speak english very well, i dont undestarnd you...

i can to simulate inertia, i will try in nexts days...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
Ok, i try to explain better (which language do you speak? Maybe it's my own :))

When you reach page 8 (last page) and you try to switch page to right (as you want to go to page 9), you go nowhere.

Same if you are on page 1 and try to switch page to left (as you want to go to page 0), you g nowhere.

Well, what i'm asking is if it's possible to go from page 8 to page 1 and vice-versa, from 1 to 8 (imagine pages as a circle, where the first and the last are tidied)

I suppose it´s spanish because of the video of the first post

Lo que te están pidiendo es que el desplazamiento por las páginas sea "circular".

Es decir que cuando llegues a la última página si te desplazas más a la derecha salte a la primera. Asi no tienes que desplazar otra vez todas para volver al principio...

Just wnated to throw up a mini guide to the icons.xml.

Here's a little example of the icons.xml file and a quick explanation of what everything is, because knowing is half the battle.

Hopefully this helps show that it isn't hard to add/remove whatever you want to it using notepad.

Everything between the <screen> and </screen> is on one page, the icon name is shown under the icon picture, the image= will be the name of the picture in the \iPhoneToday\icons folder tht you want to use for the program, exec= is the location of a lnk or exe of the program you want, and i'm still not sure what the parameters= is used for right now, or what the type= is for.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Hi Guys

I have been able to make the application work on QVGA Phone. I have a question.

The clock is not displayed and i want the time to be displayed. How can i do that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LcBoi:
I believe that you have to go into setting-today and make sure the iPhoneToday and date are both checked, but then you'd have to fix the height of the iphone settings.xml again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Isnt their a way, clock can be incorporated as an icon in iphone today.

I'm not sure you'd have to ask MiToNiOeS

It sounds like it would be really cool though

GOOD JOB!

This program is working on my Jade and Diamond. It is easy to edit and control the xml. The hard part is coming up with the icon. Here is one of the screen on my Jade. :D

This program is launched using SecondToday and iPhoneToday is the only plugin.

Please give us the ability to lock down the last roll or can run another iphonetoday plugin to lock down the last roll.

Thanks for sharing this GREAT PROGRAM.

I tried this today plugin (I beieve v0.2) recently, but it just didn't work on my XV6900.

I followed the installation instructions, but all I got on my Today was a black area. In the Today Settings, I was not able to change the settings for iPhoneToday. After iPhoneToday froze my phone, I reset it, then uninstalled it.

After trying again to install it, it froze my phone again.

Is v0.3 more stable than the previous?

I really want to use this plugin as an app-launcher, but I would like it to be stable, and easily customizable (which I'm not too sure of).

I'm going to test drive this app, but I wasn't sure how to deal with apps for which the iPhone clone doesn't have icons. I searched my Fuze for the icons for those programs, but couldn't find them.

And when might we anticipate the next update? Will it allow us to more easily select apps for each page?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] whitealien:
1st - bottom bar hide is an option and can be installed always separately. I don't see a problem here. You don't need to make 2 cabs for each resolution because of this.

2nd - when you assign exe to an icon you don't need to write full path if file is located into windows folder. Simple calculator.exe will work. Because of this windows folder spelling can be anything.

3rd - cab file creating takes couple of minutes and you can use templates for each update or next release.

what a strange discussion ?!?!

Hey, what's cooking here? Don't you have a hairdresser to talk to?

I know about "beeing a senior..." hasn't do to anything with age - but sometimes when I read such panel discussions over the net, I think only kids are going around :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

please set up a private conversation.

The public content I see is like that:

A) "please make an OEM disti..."

B) "no, it's difficult and takes lot of time..."

A) "think again, things would be so nice (for me) and is quite easy..."

B) "no, beleave me: there is this and that and more to be considered..."

A) "but it would be so nice. And if you really try this or that, things don't have to be complicated - and takes only minutes..."

B) "some arguments are right... but think about this and that..."

on-and-on-and-on-and-on-and-on....

How long will you go on with this? Let the boss do his work - there are enough outstanding whishes and unresolved problems to fix.

Otherwise MiToNiOeS will tell us here (like the programmer of iFonz did): "sorry people, I will stop development of this. I have different plans and will come back later with a different program."

Please MiToNiOeS: don't do this, keep on!

And to others: please don't kill me on my posting, I don't have "ironic-tags" on my keyboard - but those were on my mind ;););)

@steveiray - if you don't know what about we are talking don't make 20 lines long off topic to express your emotions. There are special web sites for it, like facebook.

@MiToNiOeS - we were argumenting with j101399j about possibility to make simple default install cab with few working icons as for now installing is a little tricky. If you don't want to bother about it I can take care, with your permition of course. j101399j thinks its too complicated, what you think?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I'm sorry but you are not correct; going back and forth is wasting... Um nothing really; in fact is may be giving answers to other people. I'm sorry us talking about making this so it can be cooked into a ROM is not to your liking. If you read the rules of the forum, any topics or discussions on any item must be in that item's forum. So starting a new thread about cooking this into a rom, would be pointless.

Also calling me a kid when you only have 14 posts is not a good way to keep people from killing you on a posting; especially since I have responded and helped more people them ANYONE ELSE on this forum, except MiToNiOeS. To the point that I was the one that created the walkthrough and most of the support to the readers of this forum.

If anyone is wasting time, it is your Troll post complaining about others.

Also since you are so new and young; here is some advise, take it or leave it. 1st if you have a question or idea, it is better to post it, then send a PM. Posting the question gives others reading this forum an answer to a question they may have not known they had. If we PM'ed our discussion; or every other post I have made helping people, nobody would get the answers they need. Kinda pointless. Just curious; what the heck was your motivation for posting such a "Troll" post like you did. If you don't like a discussion, just ignore it, or go somewhere else. We don't need your need your negativity clogging up the thread. On second hand DON'T RESPOND, I don't care

If MiToNiOeS does not want me to continue on a subject or discussion or helping someone possibly add to this wonderful application, let him say so.

@Whitealien I like the idea and think it will work, I'll PM you to continue the discussion. If anyone else would like to know what we come up with, please PM me; we don't wannt waste stevieray's time
