Hehe, I agree on the name! But I don't really like this i-thing on app names.. It gives me nightmares about The Big Brick (also known as iphone:p)! What about myTXT?

I definitively agree on the "+" thingy in the inbox view. I just put it there to see what it would look like... I guess there will be a lot of changes anyways, if this app ever gets made...

It seems like we gotta rely on l3v5y for developing? ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Are you willing to donate for "myTXT"?

Dear reader,

if you are really interested in an SMS app like this, you may wanna donate to whoever will create this application?

Post a message stating what you'd like to donate for a full release (version 1.0) of "myTXT"!! I'll put all donations on the first page. Hopefully, this will boost both the development speed and the quality of the product :D

The app needs to have the following:

- finger-friendly and sweeeet design

- sending/receiving SMS & MMS

- threaded messaging

- multiple receivers

- lightweight - gotta be fast to open and fast in use

- easily skinable

- easily translatable

- preferably small (max. 1-2 mb)

I'll be the first one out: I'll be happy to donate $ 20 to the first one releasing an application that satisfies my needs :cool:

Are you up for this, guys?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] supbro:
+1

I didn't originate the "iContact" name :) I did originate "iDialer" but my next app won't be an "i" app!

Nice mockups, by the way. I've been wanting to give iContact a nice UI overhaul.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Hehe, that's good! I really love your work, supbro! Supware's great apps does really deserve a better name ;) Any chance that you'll be able to create an SMS app??? So far there's just $ 20 in the pot, but I'm sure it will increase greatly!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ang3lo:
I've a suggestion : a page which shows only unread messages (from everybody) with the ability to reply quickly would be a great feature, especially if we can set it as the program S2U2 launchs to view SMSs.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
A good idea, but you don't need an app just for that. And it kinda exists already - the Manila 3D messaging tab shows the 25 most recent messages. You can change what app S2U2 opens and even make S2U2 open this tab directly when unlocking while viewing a received message. See this post :)

So I don't see the need for an app for just viewing and quick-replying - I want a completely new app for the entire SMS handling. Don't you too? ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alexirsi:
Check this out... ;)

http://www.alexju.be/SMSChat
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Well, will you get a bunch of viruses and spyware on your own phone as well? This seems really fishy...!! But thnx for the suggestion :) Have you tried this software?

It looks kinda ugly as well, and has no finger-friendly UI, so I believe that even M$ is just as good..... :p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] moesfeld:
Hi there,

I´m looking for this kind of app since I own a windows mobile device.

Let me throw in the suggestion i had.

- Add Email support. Why? This would be the first finger frendly email app ever! and it could replace poutlook completely (well run on top of it)

If it will go commerical someday this would be a blast (Well if going commercial is possible when using IContact code)

Only MSDN related sample I found this this

But the MAPI is quite well documented (Well there is more documented but allso less)

Mabe A_C could allso provide some Info about e-mail accessing since he just implemented e-mail preview into S2U2

P.S.:

Great work on the conversations and messages in the concept art:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Thnx for that, moesfeld! I will work on some new concept art when my exams are finished next week!

Regarding the email support: I'd really - really - appreciate it if e-mail support will be included as well. But I suppose it will demand more work and more time in the development process... So as a first release the SMS/MMS part is the most important, at least for me! But maybe v2 will include e-mail support? :)

There's a lot of interest for an app like this, I just hope that the developers will take the time to start working on it!!

You don't happen to have skills for this yourself? I know I don't!! :p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] moesfeld:
Well I have some skills:

- Drinking beer

- Extreem power chilling on my couch/bed

- Telling other people what they should develop

- Cooking (No roms just food)

- A little mortscript

I looked a bit into the IContact sourcecode and understood most of it but seperating out the kinetic scrolling will be a pain in the arse since there are a lot of dependancies (at least what i saw in IContact AE).

I will start learning how to develop for WM and in 5 years the app might be done (When I have enough money to pay someone to do it for me):D

So I guess this comes down to: No I don´t have the skills to do this
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Hahahaha, I see..!! It's strange though, I too have a lot of those skills that you do have ;)

Well, somebody developed iContact, and someone developed poutlook. So, hopefully, someone will develop this myTXT as well! I'm just about to upload some more concept images on the first post now!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Black UI concept

Here's a black UI concept as well:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
And.... Done:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hfalk4:
is it possible to make this app with a password lock?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sean D.:
One more request.

Yeah, I know... enough is enough.

But what about a scheduling option? You can write a message, and schedule it to be sent at any given time. It can sit in the drafts forlder (or maybe a "scheduled messages" folder) until it sends.

This feature is available on other apps (Power SMS, etc) but if you're gonna make the 'ultimate SMS app' then why not add it?

:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] laocheebye:
yeah lightweight and full of features plus eye candy graphic. if anyone manages to do churn out this app he'll be the next steve jobs for sure.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] charm1718:
I agree. I think people are forgetting that the app is to remain lightweight & good looking, not a do it all sms app. Honestly, I think no more requests should be thrown out until the basic functions are made & the app is useable.

Put me on the donate list for $10 once the app can send,receive, forward & delete texts without crashing from scrolling..

Keep up the good work. Hopefully more apps can be created with developers & graphic designers working together here.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Guys, don't kill the spirit;) New suggestions are important. And since this is an open-source project, we will build a basic app from which anyone can continue development in the direction one wants. The basic app is the primary goal, but it's not the final goal:)

For those who want a full-featured SMS app, I believe this will come. Althought, it'll be developed first after the basic app is up and running. So please be patient!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] moesfeld:
I totally agree!

Maybe having a lite and a full featured version and a seperate app for email will satisfy nearly everyone. But first the base needs to be created.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] odyssey96:
ok tad bsd news

i have recently moved house and until my broadband is setup i have been relying on xperia for internet sharing and also the development of this app.

i lost my phone yesterday. wasnt even drunk which has extremely peed me off. I am writing this message from my brothers computer.

phone insurance unfortunately can only supply me with a htc magic which is andriod based (therefore i will not be able to test the app) or go on to a waiting list of god knows when i may be able to get a touch pro 2 as the xperia is no longer supplied. BO****KS

SSSSSSSOOOOOOOO

im not exactly sure how to proceed. yesterday was a really bad day for me for other reasons too. i should have my broadband up by the 29th. i will definietely upload my code, however I am rather upset that I may not be able to continue. someone said to me coding and scripting is my cocaine, and i am definitely having withdrawal symptoms :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] magicalan:
wow it sucked for me i had to soft reset because after runing the "exe" it make my phone freaking slow and i was trying to erase it :mad: good that i like my default sms..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] _4saken_:
well, that really sucks man. sorry to hear you lost your phone.

I still have my old htc himalya laying around here somwhere. it still works like a charm. I would be willing to give it to you. but it's no vga device. so I dont know if this makes any sense at all. but it is flashed with wm 6.1 and as far as I know even 6.5 can be put on it.

would that keep you going on this project?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Why are you upset about that? It's an EARLY alpha at version 0.1.2 - You seriously cannot expect much for such an early version.

Oh wow... That sounds like a hell of a day odyssey... Sorry to hear mate... Hope you can get it all sorted... Don't sweat if you can't continue coding this my friend as there are more important things that I am sure you're worrying about... And no doubt we could find another developer that would be keen to take up the project... In the end you'll make the decision you think is best so good luck whichever way you go.

If you're keen to continuing developing and are without a WM device - then the Windows mobile emulators are going to be your next best bet to test the app.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sean D.:
Pledge amount.

I will DEFINITELY donate if/when I see something in QVGA.

(or have I missed that?)

I'm in for $25 if it is everything thats being advertised along with being in QVGA, and having the scheduling option... even if that last one is eventual.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Blowfish64:
Wow that sucks dude. Did you have one of those locator programs on your phone? Would have been nice to at least try to locate it that way if you had thought about it. Hope everything works out for you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Man, I'm so sorry to hear...! No way of getting back on a phone that you can work on? Is it possible for you to work on an emulator? There are alot of people watching the thread, and I bet they will be happy to test the app on their phones!

I hope you'll find a solution.. we can't afford losing you on our S2-team!! ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DatDereX1:
$10 for wvga
[Windows Mobile Software Development] odyssey96:
I'm gonna check this out next week on an emulator, thanks 4 saken for the phone offer, resolution ain't an issue as far as I'm concerned as the app is meant to be customiseable. I will need a phone when it comes to testing sending and receiving texts. What annoys me. is I gave mi touch diamond to my brother as he broke the touch dual I gave him when he broke his other phone lol!

I hate posting on forums using phone, Android doesn't have internet sharing like Win mob. I was using that for accessing the net from my pc until Monday when my broadband should get activated.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gamedl:
It's so good but it needs netframe 3.5 or above..which i didnt install.

i am using netframe 2.0 because this causes much less energy lose from the battery...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Shubham:
In Dickenz's mockup, what keyboard is that?

or is the keyboard part of the mockup?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
This has already been answered earlier in this thread:) It's called ezInput or something like that...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
EzInput 2.0
[Windows Mobile Software Development] odyssey96:
Ok tried using emulator, over the weekend, the performance is DOG slow, i cant really see any transition in the menus, the changes just "appear", i.e. you cant see scrolling up or down which is a real nuisance.

Dont suppose anyone has a spare VGA device laying around? :D

Long shot, short of me trying to find a cheap one ebay which to tell you the truth after just having moved out, dont really have the money to do at the moment....

One positive note is now my broadband has been (FINALLY) activated I can now post more frequent @ home. Shall upload the code tonight when I get in. For all you VERY experienced programmers, please dont criticise :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Good to hear back from you, odessey, though you maybe were to depressed to work ;) If I had a phone, I would have sent it to you ASAP, but unfortunately I can't help out there...

Looking forward to the update! Will test it out (and I'll behave in the feedback:p)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cwest06:
Great program looks very promising... GOOD LUCK
[Windows Mobile Software Development] odyssey96:
Ok heres the source code

http://www.mediafire.com/file/lmcnd0jmzww/S2S SMS v0.1.2 source.rar

sorry for not posting last night, did anyone else get problems on the forums? I was getting Bad Gateway pretty much all night and when I could get on a page it was extremely slow, then click a link Bad Gateway, etc I just gave up!

:D

Im bringing the source code into work with me, with any luck I can find someone running Windows Mobile VGA/WVGA device who will let me use it during lunchtimes A HA HA HA HA HA! I spoke to two people yesterday evening before leaving and both raised their eyebrows at me as if to say f*** off!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Just tell them you're developing a new SMS application to replace the WM one! They'll have to let you :D hahaha... Everyone must know how disgusting it is to use!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Whosdaman:
I got an idea....how about removing the Slide 2 Send part and just making a Finger Friendly messaging program? Like what you have here
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Because then it will be boring and without that little extra that'll make it famous;) But, hopefully the Slide2-button will be optional... if odyssey gets a WM phone again!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] odyssey96:
I am really sorry guys at the mo I cant continue, loosing that phone has been very inconvenient for me and now to you guys as well :(

At the mo, I do not have a phone to work with, even if someone in work does let me use their phone (and I have found someone who seems like he will let me) I may have to port over to .NET 2.0 as I only have VS2005 installed at work, not 2008...

On a slightly more positive note, I am learning C++ so I am being productive :D

The reason being is that I think there will be a huge benefit if

1. I can learn OpenGL ES - the hardware acceleration would be great and allow nice eye candy!

2. When the CEMAPI dll is finalised I think there will be a smooth integration with the project.

It just pee's me off because I feel like I am lettting you guys down. I am still considering selling my android phone on ebay and using that to go towards a touch diamond 2 or something. or beg my brother to have my diamond back.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ace10134:
Idk about hardware acceleration, I think that if you used OpenGL, my old Wing would roast when running this program. I'd like something light and fast, plz!

But yea, eyecandy is cool, lol.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Whosdaman:
Deal :) I'll be willing to advertise it if you have the option to disable S2S
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ricky`:
Hi,

First, i want to give my compliments for this project.

I would like to know if is there a repository (svn) where interested developers can find source code and a documentation/discussion over the developing status (such ad a trac page).

I'm a beginner in windows mobile programming, but i have experience in c# and i'm interested in a collaboration in this project.

If there isn't any repository, i suggest to create one, on google code for example.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] korro:
I want to take You down to earth.

There is no any other app on the whole world, which is starting with building user-interface.

Skin/u-i i the last step to have great app, especially if We are talking about WinMo app.

Remember Nitrogen/G-Watch/G-other app.

At first, we need very very good and very good motivated and skilled developer.

We can have even 100% world-class graphics makers...they won't be able to create even worst app in the world.

Guys/girls please ... 42 pages of nothing.

Shut the **** up and let the real developers talk.

Any other post about such amazing and wonderful app it will be is make no sense.

Forum is not hall of fame of every good-idea maker, it's about delivering stuff.

I can post 100 posts per day about what strangers work is pleasuring me.

Walking this way we will exceed xda transfer/disc-space/responsibility with one day.

Lets thing.

Reward effort. This is only what i'm asking for,

please ignore girls/guys who is only increasing they post-count...please back-up me..let's have world-class sms-app and let us amazin' HTC developers.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Sorry dude but you're way out of line. I think you need to take a step back.

Telling everyone to stfu ? It might be 42 pages of somewhat useless posts but those 42 pages have given us a foundation and direction for the app. We want to make the largest amount of people possible happy, not just two people working on it.

Without the initial interest, without the initial mockups which then progressed to more advanced previews we wouldn't be where we are. Without the nice looking UI we would never have raised the bounty up to where it is - With that bounty it is a much more appealing project for a developer to take.

Unfortunately our main developer has lost his phone but he is working on other ways to continue coding for us. And I guarantee that he wouldn't have started developing without a base direction - which the previews enabled him to have.

It's a collaborative effort from everyone in this community, not just the developers.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] odyssey96:
Donwload the source code I provided in a previous post and see if you would like to continue? At the moment I have no Windows mobile to continue development and to test on...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajskhan:
Well said.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ricky`:
Yeah, i've downloaded your source code and i'm working to implement a simple sms management using this open sorce library: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/PocketPCandSmartphone.aspx

I've some problem undestanding your code, if you can describe how does the gui works probably you can help me.

However, i'm using only the emulator of visual studio and the cellular emulator, i think that if you want is not require to have a phone :)

What do you think about the creation of a project in google code, so we have svn access and trac page and also a major visibility to other developers?

Best Regards

(sorry for my very bad english)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Okay, I've just invented a brand new award, and you - korro - have won by far the 1st price of being the sadest, fatest, ugliest ************* ass alive. We don't need people like you here or anywhere else, as there are alot of great people out here wanting to do something good. So, if someone is gonna "shut the **** up", I think we all agree who that's gonna be. And you call $265 nothing? I bet it's more than you make a year.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
This would have been great. If someone can do this, I'll put the links up in bold on the first page.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ricky`:
I created the project:

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

Every developer who want is invited to join the project.

odyssey96: i've uploaded your code in the repository :)

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ace10134:
I'm not gonna toss any more flames, as you guys already did, but what korro said was perfectly fine. He's exactly correct that an app should be built starting from the code up, and interface should be last.

I say let korro talk, he knows as much or more than you guys. Wait, did u just say that he makes less than $265 a year? Ok, well, I'm done.

Hey korro, I give u a +1 !!! Just stay cool everyone, and don't make it so the mods have to talk to u guys.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DatDereX1:
I concur. GUI comes last.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chrisque1:
Motivation is the key. Some people stop at the first slope on the road.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] k1sr:
Isn't that how they built WM and why we're here in the first place... ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] odyssey96:
I hit a wall so to speak :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Yeah it might in logical order but in this case the concepts were what drove the project.

And it doesn't really matter what 'should' come first - It's already been and done.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] t1one:
Pledge $10

I pledge $10 (QVGA, can be set as default SMS/MMS like thumbcal is to windows calendar, win 6.1, possible works with spb mobile shell 2.x +)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Whosdaman:
I do request that it be QVGA and a non-opengl version as well....

but GUI should come last because HTC and other corporations are watching....and they will steal your idea, in a heart beat too, because a finger friendly messaging program is all HTC is missing from their UI
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Well, HTC is already developing their own SMS "app" - in Manila v2 (on Diamond2 and Pro2) it's integrated in the Manila UI. And in the next version of Manila, it will probably be even better. But, for us with Manila v1 or different phones, we need an SMS app where GUI comes first. That's the whole point of this project. If GUI comes last, we won't need a new SMS app, 'cause then WM would be just fine ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Whosdaman:
Ahhhh, so they already have it.....well I hope we can get a non-opengl version made :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dorana:
you guys still need more developers?

I'm a C# developer located in Sweden.

I normaly work with casino / poker and payment solutions but I'll be happy to help out.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ricky`:
Hi, please visit the google page of this projet, there is the source code.

As soon as possibile i will commit my modified code :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dorana:
Alright, got the source.

Seems I can't load it on express version, I'll move it to my main PC and see how it looks in VS 2008 SP1
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Thanx for helping out, Dorana! I hope you can help to get this project to the next step :) Please keep us up to date on your work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ricky`:
Hi,

I've uploaded on the repostiory (branches folder) my changes from v0.12 version. Mine is a little change, i've implemented the real read of the sms.

My idea is to use MAPIdotnet (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mapidotnet/) library for manage sms. I've done a little test and on the emulator it seems to works well.

I think that before start to write code for manage sms we have to study and decide how to write the main structure of the application and how to do for creare a customizable, skinnable and localizable application. I'm not expert in the creation of finger friendly GUI and i wait an advice from more expert develpers.

Best Regards.

PS: repository is available here: http://code.google.com/p/slide2send/source/checkout
