Probably you dind't deploy all files needed, but my suggestion is to ty is on the emulator.

Infact I tried it only with the visual studio emulator and workds without problem.

Also, this is not a release but only a snapshot of my work :) I wait other developer to talk about how to write the structer of the project.

Best Reagards.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] finlay777:
does this work on blackstone?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chrisque1:
Happends to all of us sometimes friend. Don´t worry.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Please try! :) But there are still graphics issues, and it's just a very early alpha version. So be patient for multi-resolution compatibility.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dorana:
It should work fine on Blackstone. but as Longice said, please do try, I'm gonna test it on my TouchPro (Raphael) in both in opened/closed keyboard layout to insure that the graphics will work in both viewmodes once we've gotten that far onto the project.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ricky`:
Dorana, did you try my code?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dorana:
Not yet, had my brother over yestarday, planning on trying it when I get home from work
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ASK768:
I tried this some time back (a few weeks ago) and it ran fine on my blackstone, assuming it isnt supposed to achieve anything in its current form.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] misfitwrx:
first off this app graphic wise looks great and i would love to see it actually developed, one question though. have you tried to contact A_C for help on this app?? with his knowledge and the graphics you already have i bet he could whip something up in a matter of days. the latest versions of s2u2 already deal alot with email and sms, i almost wonder if he could pretty much implement the same basic coding for this app??
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Yeah I've spoken to A_C - Unfortunately he doesn't have enough time to help here too.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] misfitwrx:
that sucks, he would have been a huge asset to this app
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
So I am a developer, and I thought this might be a fun project to contribute to. What is the status of send/receive? I thought that would be what I would tackle shoring up first...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
Oh and FYI I am primarily a C# developer, but I know around 20 other languages. Current job saddles me with VB .NET and ASP, .NET as well as classic ASP/COM Dlls... I know, ICK! lol

We just going to use the standard messaging API, right?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dorana:
I'm getting a NullReferenceException

at:

_ADDTEXTMESSAGE(__MESSAGES_INBOX, message.Sender.Name, message.Subject, message.LocalDeliveryTime, message.Flags);

So it's likly something with special characters somewhere since most messages on my cell is in swedish.

I'm lookin intpo it tonight
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ep0xxt:
hey,

the keyboard in the screenshot looks quite nice. Could you tell me which one it is?

sorry for that, my fault! thanks anyway!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ace10134:
Wait, hasn't this been asked like, 4 times already!! Use the forum search within this thread.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dorana:
Seems there is some problem reading some messages.

Can't find a connection other then the problem is with reading sender in some messages, the first 2035 messages from my cell reads perfect.

Think we need to do a try catch on these and handle exceptions. I'll look into it deeper on sunday.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
So... Any interest at all in help on this project? or am I wasting my time?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Bob we'd be extremely appreciative of any developer help you can provide.

The source is available some pages back if you want to start there. Ricky has made some changes to the source also and uploaded it to the google docs site he posted. There is a link for it in one of Ricky's posts.

Would be great to have you on board.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aclarkc:
I think there is a great interest in this project, from what I've seen on this forum and others, people are excitedly awaiting for a usable version of this app. I believe any lack of attention to this thread is mostly caused by the worry of no developer(s) picking it up. I would think that if you got the send/receive working like you previously mentioned we'd see this getting TONS of attention and probably even more donations :D

Also btw I do want to thank you for anything you can do bob to help this project move forward. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tcchuin:
46 pages of threads in about 2 and a half months..it shows that there are lots of people are interested in this project
[Windows Mobile Software Development] publicbkh:
Hello

Wanted to say "hi" and mention I'm working on an unmanaged C++ app that's based on the great mockups and comments here.

And also to ask this question: Are there any standards, whether proprietary, de facto or (allegedly)official, for sharing skin resources between otherwise independent applications? Systemwide themes would be wonderful.

B KH
[Windows Mobile Software Development] moesfeld:
Hi, cool to hear you are working on this.

I think you could take the colors from the systems .skn (at least in 6.1 i don´t know about 6.5) that would match the systems colors.

But aside from that i think there is no poroprietary skin format that is used by more than one app.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] the_ozyrys:
I don't exactly undestand your question, but if you want your app to use system colors, they can be found at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\<Name of current WM theme file>. As for graphics, you can use TouchFlo3D files if they are present, or your own files if not...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] c.zxero973:
I'm in favor of this too. I'd like to actually be able to see who i'm talkin too when I'm textin... also you think it would be possible to have backgrounds or somethin like that for conversations. if das to complex i understand.. just an idea...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nir36:
longice, is there progress with this? please try and update.This thread is kept stickied so that we can both post comments and get updates.

thank you
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Hi nir36,

So far there hasn't been a new release since 0.1.2a - However there are at least 3 or 4 coders now wokring on this (Ricky`, Dorana and publicbkh). So we should have some updates soon.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nir36:
wonderful. thank you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] odyssey96:
hi guys, as the code has been uploaded to a google code repository which seems like the best place for it, i am going to remove the files from my media fire account tomorrow. it seems i am not going to be able to continue development as i cant get a device.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
I'll try to keep it as updated as possible, but as mentioned there's been a little set-back just for now. Hoping for a breakthrough soon:)

@odyssey: I'm so sorry to hear, man. It really sucks that you can't continue your great work...!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
Alright, couple of things. First off, if this is going to be serious, I would like to know who all are current, active developers on this project. Second I think we need to have a wiki or separate development forum. No need for code talk to litter this thread.

Third, I am jumping in. I have started looking over the code and am goingto try to sort out what needs to be done. I think we need to start a roadmap of features and functionality so we know where we stand, and what we need.

Let's make the best damn SMS app ever!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
Oh, and what do I need to do to become a submitter on the google site?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Ricky is hosting the google code site, talk to him to get access. I think it's possible to use the same site for a wiki, right?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
Should be, I'll go ahead and shoot him a PM...

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kidoucorp:
Don't know if it could be useful, but here a source code (C#) for sending an SMS (don't know if it's work). All commented, but in french, if you think it could be usefull, I can still translate the comments in English...

If I have some time, I will take a look at it, to see if it would be possible to include it with the proposed interface :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
Of course any help is appreciated. Of course all the french looks like gibberish to me, but eh, what do I know ;-)

The actual sending/receiving is fairly trivial. My main hurdle at this point is cooperating with someone to get a better idea of how we want the interface to be.

Thanks to the MAPI wrapper we have, no Pinvoke bull for us! ;-)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] myp660:
Hello Everyone:

Is it possible to provide a download link in rapidshare? or send to my e-mail:terry-a6@163.com.

the resources in Mediafire are blocked for china area.

thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ace10134:
SkyDrive work for you? DOWNLOAD latest version from SkyDrive.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Bob we want the interface to look like my graphical mock ups :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] myp660:
Hi ace10134:

thanks for your help. But it still can't be download.

could you plz send to my mailbox? terry-a6@163.com

Many thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ace10134:
Well aparently you have to be logged in to download it. So, you could create a Live e-mail account, but I'll just e-mail it to you.

E-mailed it to you. No one else e-mail it! And you can remove ur e-mail address so you don't get spammed!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
Hehe YA I get that part... more talking about internal code interface.

Currently it is basically C style code stuffed into a C# .NET wrapper. It isn't very OO in it's approach. But I don't wanna make too many changes if it will upset the other developers. Also, the variable naming SCREAMS VB6 or C++. No one uses Hungarian notation in the .NET world, it's actually considered bad practice. The IDE will tell you all that info anyhow...

Anyhow I'm dying to fix things, but I am not hearing from anyone else that is working on this at all... I can't even get info on how to become a submitter!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Bob,

Sounds great my friend. You really know what's going on here. And that's awesome :D

Try here for submitting. This was the page Ricky` created:

http://code.google.com/p/slide2send/

Also I think you'll find odyssey wasn't the most heavily experienced coder in various languages hence why it was only written in C#. The source is available on the link I just posted above.

Grab it and do whatever needs to be done to get this at least to a basic working beta :)

You have free reign ! Exercise it :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
Hehe fair enough Ill see if I can't get going on it. Have a bit of paying programming to do for the next few days/week, but then I should be able to really dig into it and at least get basic functionality banged out...

I got the source from the Google site, but I have to have correct permissions to actually save code backup there. Need to have the user/pass or be added as a member, or whatever...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
I hope that you find some time to work on this, Bob! And there will be some money to pick up from the bounty on this project as well;-) As soon as there is a beta running, I'm sure there will be alot more than what there is now!

You might wanna PM Ricky' to become a member at the google code site.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] odyssey96:
Hi Ricky,

sent you an email about the code, together we can clear this up!

apologies guys, at the time i was in rush mode to get the releases out asap
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ricky`:
I guys, i apologize for my absence but i was without internet access.

For the guys who wants to be added in the repository's commiters list, please pm me their email. It must be associated with a Google Account.

I quote all. I think a refactory is necessary for the code for struturate it in a better OO way and with the C# code convention, that now are not rispected and make the code difficult to read and undestand.

I think also we need to talk, what do you think to meet us in a IRC channel or in other places?

Best regards.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
I tried replying ricky, but it wont let me send to you? My Google ID is <Something>, I think you can figure out the domain ;-)

-Removed ID
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ricky`:
Added :) Try to commit :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
yup, it show me as having access.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stylez:
Just wondering if any updates?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Hey stylez,

we are all waiting for updates. At the moment, our team of developers are working to sort the code out as we had to start over a few weeks ago. Therefore, I guess it will be a while before there will be a new release. So please be patient! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stylez:
Hi longice,

Thankyou, I'm patient just always good to know still developing ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chrisque1:
If Miri gets to work the new HTC sms in manila 2.5 all our problems will be solve.

Is a nice interface with almost all that we want from a sms program
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
Well that is a solution perhaps for VGA, but seeing how long it takes to successfully port something like that to QVGA means it will be YEARS lol.

No point in waiting on something that may never come, instead we'll just make it ourselves!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Well, the Manila 2.5 sms feature seems quite simple. So it won't cover all our needs:P

And since the sms feature is integrated in the Manila 2.5, you'll have to update the entire manila. And I don't think HTC will release such an update;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chrisque1:
Is still working better that this project.

Simple is the idea of this one also.

I dont understand the update part. U just install the rom with the new manilla.

I dont understand the HTC part also. Do u expect them to do anything for u? Like fixing the lens of my +$750 phone to take pics as good as a $50 one? ;)

Just some humor!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] eranyanay:
So this project is history?

It's been months since something happend here..

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ace10134:
Probably. I kind of knew that from the start. There's already programs that do this, and everyone with a new phone already has a superior SMS program (TF3D).

I was always skeptical of this. The only reason I'd want it is if it inluded my idea from a while back, but I don't think anything will ever happen, lol.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cooleydan5:
we cant let this just STOP. with this app the OMNIA will be obsolete. lets see some updates! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
I definitely agree with you - this would also be a great tool for the Diamond and Manila v1.. But I just have to trust in our developers - which I hope still are trying to make this work?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cooleydan5:
im trusting them fully =) i just hope they are still developing . i think we all need to give them more support. haha or donations:p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] iridium21:
You can put me down for $15 if this is a total replacement for the awful looking WM one and is skinable.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cooleydan5:
$20from me. gotta see this working :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Thanks, guys! You're on the bounty list! Lets hope this will trigger som kind of a new update of the app ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chrisque1:
This project is dead!! Long live the horrible WM sms!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cooleydan5:
no way it cant be. have we heard from any of our developers?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] style1:
probably extremely premature to say its dead...but i guess not posting on this forum is grounds for jumping the gun...I say, finish the project and forget about updating us cause it doesn't matter...the same people saying its dead will be the first ones downloading.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobtheamazing:
I am still involved, and have made progress...

So stay tuned!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dwizzy130:
That's what I like to hear!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Lovely, man, really looking forward to the results of your work! Please keep us updated:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cooleydan5:
​

sweet! cant wait man .
[Windows Mobile Software Development] publicbkh:
Me too. Hopefully by next week I'll be looking for users/collaborators to start creating the UI and skinning SDK.

To re-introduce myself, I'm working on the native edition, my chance to finally dig into Windows dev and C++. My justification is that developing directly against the native API instead of .NET gives me greater flexibility and eliminates the category of problems that result from using wrapper libraries. But truthfully, I just have the itch to "go native."

(Is there a better forum for rambling by S2SMS developers?)

Bryce
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Hey Bryce, it's great news that you're working on this project!! Looking forward to seeing the results of your work! Is the Google Code repository a better forum to use? Check out the link in the first post, and talk to Ricky´ if you need access..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] utak3r:
While I'm waiting for this coming to the successful end, too (I would help you coding, if I had enough time... but I don't :rolleyes: ) - but I can't understand, why in the forum named "Development and Hacking" one of the sticky threads is the thread about an app which doesn't even exist?.... :rolleyes:

Not so long ago there was a biiiig action of unsticking posts, and now what?...

Don't get me bad, but I don't think it's a good idea.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ace10134:
------------
[Windows Mobile Software Development] utak3r:
Exactly so.

Even more: some time ago, this subforum were the place of hacking our devices: unlocking, making it better and so on. Posts from such our users, like for example cmonex, buzz, itsme and others. I wish those times come back... Just look at the first page: skins for titanium, skins for manila... omg. Where's the "hacking"? Maybe it's time to rename this forum?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Well, maybe you should take a walk to the book store and buy a dictionary. Then you might find out why this is 'Development' ;)

And, this is sticky because it has been alot of interest and a lot of posts over a short period. If you read the last posts, people are working with the app. So it will be realized. But please be patient. Instead of being a smart mouth, try contributing instead :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] utak3r:
Well, I don't need it - I'm a software developer....

You completely didn't understood me... and I suspect only those old users did. Nevermind.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Well, congrats. You're the king of the world.

No I didn't. Just trying to keep a positive atmosphere here...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Don't blame me, I don't hand out stickies. Never said that those apps don't deserve a sticky. And, this is not "my" app, actually it's no app yet. It's a project which hopefully will result in an app :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cooleydan5:
i dont mean to but in, but this app deserves to be sticky becuase with this app our omnia will be obsolete. winmo origional txting is super slow and buggy. this app is very lightweight and will make our lives a whole lot easier. and as for s2u2 and those other programs they are nowhere near as important. yea they are cool to have but they are not nearly as usefull as this. if u guys dont like this app sorry but many ogher ppl are interested hence 'sticky'
[Windows Mobile Software Development] style1:
is it really hurting anyone for this to be a sticky?

what are those other sms apps besides sms chat.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cooleydan5:
if u dont mind me asking...why does it bother u so much that this is sticky? if u dont like it then dont follow tjis project. its obviously sticky for a reason. and i have tries pretty much every texting app there is but none replace winmo. they all conflict with it. thid will replace it. and they sre more buggy than winmo.im just sayin there is mo point of complaining about this. if u dont like it then give us te respect to enjoy it. i dont go on ur posts and complain.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] style1:
seems childish doesn't it?

to each their own i guess. This thread has gone all off topic. Maybe you should start a thread in the appropriate subforum and maybe you'll get a better excuse because this thread is and should be about S2S and not about the legitmacy of it being a sticky. I think we could agree on that.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ace10134:
We need a new thread where the devleoper is in control, since it's his app.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Ace, my man, why the bad mood? No need to get nasty :) And what's the big deal, really? A sticky doesn't mean the world to anyone, does it? So why bother, really...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] style1:
I can't believe I'm being sucking into this...oh well

Childish in the sense that your mommy(mods) give timmy a red bike(sticky) so you think you deserve a red bike(sticky). Its a fallacy in the sense that this is not a democracy, you does not need logic applied to it, follow it or ignore it...if you want to question it, there are better avenues to do so, than to hijack a thread (yes this thread is officially hijacked).

This is the development and hacking forum...not the proper forum for your complaint>>>>>

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=263<<<<<

the right forum for "Anything to do more with the site than with the phones. Feature requests, announcements, praise, moaning, etc."

The people developing this, are using the same code repository as the people who started this project, why start a new project/thread...just keep us updated and when it drops start a new thread for the beta. Of course thats just my opinion. Anyway, I don't want this to degenerate into an open flame war, you wanna argue please pm me. I just don't want this thread to become more hijacked than it already is
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cooleydan5:
i agree. lets just stick to this thread for updates and releases. there is no need for argueing about something so ridiculous.
