Hello,

I find your way of widget implementation very nice and I'm really happy that it is possible to write virtualy any widget. But I'm disappointed with user action events sinse there is only one.. click... I think you should provide support for at least one more event, vertical up/down swipe...

Thanks in advance

Hello ssj5trunks,

nothing to do with Androkkid but with one of your Windows XP applications.

Didn't know how to contact you...so...

I downloaded WallChanger 1.0.0 (both main and mirror link). Unzipped and launched the .exe file...but it crash. An EM pop-ups reading:

Wall Changer has detected a problem and has to be closed. Sorry for inconveniences.

If you have processes running, the information can be lost.

Thanks for having a look.

Best regards

You have installed Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 in you PC?

The program not start if you dont have it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
If you want add the event up/down push button you can do with a variable and not with another event if anyone click on a widget you can set a variable Push=True and in DrawWidget you draw the widget pushed and reset Push variable after drawing.

Problems with Samsung Omnia

Hi,

I'm still having problems with running Androkkid on my Samsung Omnia i900.

I've switched to using the old style icons and even though this stops the application from crashing at startup, it means half the icons are not created.

In addition, Androkkid now crashes at startup with a low memory exception even though I have 22Meg of storage available.

Please let me know if these problems are going to be resolved.

Rergards :)

I think we have misunderstanding... I'm talking about support for widgets that implement kinetic scrolling...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

Looks VERY nice BUT!

Have tried it for 5-10 mins now and the ONLY thing so far is the terrible looking text or icons, jaggered and har to read text on my Polaris.

Tried to activate clear type but that did not do anything.

Like this idea VERY much tough!

And keep up the good work.

And as S.V.I said, more support for G-Alarm and so on would be VERY nice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
change icon size to a smaller resolution(64x64 for VGA/WVGA, 32x32 for QVGA/WQVGA i think) and turn on the black background for text.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
The kinetic scrolling is a problem because i cant detect when you want scroll page or only widget, you understand?

It is little difficult, i think how i can make it.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jdivic:
As I can understand pages are scrolled left-right, and inside widget you may implement only scrolling up-down, that would be enough...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Good i miss this thing, good idea.

I search an implementation for all widget created without lost compatibility.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:
Ok, but lets say i have a contact picture that is bigger and it still looks bad... what to do then? And must i use small icons everywhere to get nice looking icons then?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tesselaar:
Great aplication.

The only thing that's missing is the slide down to minimize to the today screen like in Ifonz2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jdivic:
Well, if you do that you wold make the best platform for developing UI for WinMo. Multiple desktops with icons and comunity developed widgets using .net framework... every developers dream...:-)

Androkid

The "whatever" you call it, looks great, but I do hope it works better than Ifonz2. Never could get it to work right. The original Ifonz worked much better except I hated the "little dropping icons" as it loaded up.

I would suggest you ditch the splash screen as it takes up time to load, and users really don't want to see it. Putting a footer along the bottom in a small font with your site info does the same thing.

Will it work on the HTC Touch (Vogue/6900)?

Is it an application or a program?

Can it be set to start automatically as the Home screen, or do I need to activate it each time the phone is turned on?

Good luck and hope you have it out soon for a test run.

P.S.

I used Androkkid for all 3 weeks of my vacations and never have go in error, it's incredible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
sounds fantastic, can't wait to try it out:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
will this have a skinable analogue clock? also would this be able to use other Winmo plugins from 3re part developers such as galarm fring today agenda etc? If you make that workable manila and Chome will be extinct! Speccially since this would mean 3 customizable today screens ? I really miss making skins for retro clock with alarms and seconds it made a great timer :)

I think that if it were posible to undock the today plugin dll's and move them around on the screen...

I know it i not an eay thing to do, it is not really a request (especially ince I have not even downloaded the app yet); just a wish list. :)

Looking forward to trying this, rock on!

I just switched from a G1 to an TP2 and have been missing the finger friendly UI of Android.

I cannot wait to try this out, Would give me the best of both worlds. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] criminalogic:
OMG this looks sick!!!! Cant wait for a releace.. Thanks for tha work & Grate job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
ahh, okay, so you're speaking of windows app menus and system settings? because those remain crappy windows defective, right? with tiny type?

I surely would love to use a phone platform interface that was 100% finger-friendly. hah hah, one of the biggest ironies is simo doesn't use his finger to demo this, rather a stylus, which clearly lags as he pulls across a background to move right to left -- and I am just betting a finger controls the responsiveness of Anrokkid much better than a stylus does...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
This really is an excellent piece of software. I actually wish some of the features in this UI were present in Android itself, especially some of the more creative stuff like the icon locking and the icon config dialog.

Dave
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Thanks for all feedback.

I use stylus because if i use a fingers you dont look the actions of my Androkkid.

I have a big finger, sorry, but at home with my diamond with androkkid i use only finger all day.

For the graphics of program is all customizable and you can do a theme like HTC Sense.

The widgets come in future versions.

I think i can release first version very soon.

Bye to all and help me with some donations.

Thanks

androkkid 0.60

THANKS A LOT for this program. it has a big potential

0.60 is a Very good improvement

specially with the widgets

Still It can't replace my LG menu (KS20)because I use strongly outlook

I have notice one bug in the next appointment widget for recurrent appointment (series of meeting) it give the date of the creation of the series of appointment and not the next appointemnt date.

The next appointement widget is very short and cannot allow to see all the message. Is there a possibility to increase the size

Do you have a widget for callLogs and missing calls?

androkkid 0.60

On my LG KS20, I have observed that after a telephone call androkidd is closed and I come back to LG menu

Is it possible to fix that problem?

Best Regards

Meirs
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SpeziAlex:
I have an problem with the startmenu.

If androkid is running and i click on the startbutton on the top left corner or if i press the windows hardware button, the startmenu appears for ca. 1 second and then disappears.

I am using an HTC Touch Diamond 2 with an Windows Mobile 6.5 rom. If androkkid is minimized or closed the startmenu works fine.

Next Appointment

I'm running Androkidd 0.6.0 with Windows 6.1 on an HTC Touch and Androkkid works great but the Next Appointment Widget shows the wrong month. The clocks with the date work fine but not the Appointment. Is there a way to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Which month it show?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I've been trying Androkkid for less than a full day, but I like it well enough to start using it regularly. I'm running it on a Treo Pro with RealVGA set at 96dpi, AT&T in the US is my carrier. However, there is (so far) one real issue. I created a page of contacts. Each time I created one, it asked me to verify which phone number. When I tap one to make a call, I get the following error message: The number "###-###-####" is not correct! The ###-###-#### in each is the actual phone number for that contact. How do I fix that?

I followed the procedure in shortcuts.txt to create links to my email & sms inboxes. How do I get them to display a count for new sms messages & unread emails?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
If anyone want create an help i'm very happy, i don't have time now.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ardk22:
Take all of the spaces out of the telephone number in the settings for each contact icon - That should cure the dialling problem - it has for me.

In each icon setting you can select what type of icon it is from the drop down menu. If you select the correct one you will get a message balloon on the icon for unread emails, sms messages, outstanding tasks and the like.

Click and hold the icon until it changes and drag it down to the tick mark at the bottom of the screen to enter the settings page for each one. When you are finished the icon will return to where it started.

Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Thank you ardk22, that did it:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SpeziAlex:
Yes i can confirm it.

My next appointment is tomorrow on 6th october and in the widget it says on 15th september. The time is right in the widget.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
If you click on it which appointment open?

The right appointment?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SpeziAlex:
The widget is openning the appointment from the 15th september..

This appointmsnt is an repeating appointment if it have an effect. It start on 15th september and end on 6th october. I think here is the problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
this project is looking very promising. I initially saw you ifonz application but didnt jump on it as you had already stopped developing.

I love the simplicity of winterface but miss the big clocks weather and sms email notifications of m2d & spb ms3.5.

If you can nail the widgets you are on to a winner especially as the solution to displaying unread mail and sms / missed calls is a bit convoluted

For reference on my stock 6.1 rom kaiser the icons do appear blocky as has been reported by others.

one small request would be to remove the pattern behind the slide up panel or have an option in the settings to change the background

a more significant suggestion is that if you want this to be universally accepted you need to have the settings.ini able to be manipulated via the interface itself without the user having to frig icons to perform functions.

thankyou and keep it up

trasparent icons

Working hard on icons that hopefully will look nice in Androkkid. but it is really hard to make them transparent. wm 6.1 has some serious issues with transparancy and the colour white
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CuzinBucksBx:
Are there any custom themes for this app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Thanks. All of that worked, with one addition. The phone numbers need nothing but numbers -- if you use parentheses & dashes to make the phone numbers more readable, they need to go, too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Don't use White color to ransparent, use 255,0,255 Fucsia color in pixel 1,1.

I get it and don't use the color in icon.

In general don' tuse the color of pixel 1,1 in the icon image and all go ok.

This evening i post a re-edit icons from iReflect library icons:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533993

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ardk22:
That's good. I have set up my key contact icons with pictures and deleted the numbers in the settings page so readability isn't an issue for me. The original contact data remains unaffected on my system. It is quite easy to access contacts through the dialler anyway so a few one touch icons are all I need.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Today I replace my SPB MS3.5 with Androkkid, after experimenting with 0.4.0 and 0.6.0. I believe it has a lot of potential, once more widgets become available. The main thing I'm missing is my HTC task manager (Touch Diamond, WM6.1) at the top right, since Androkkid doesn't run in the Today screen. Is there a possibility to run it in the Today screen (next version?), or have another task manager to replace the standard HTC one?

Maybe a contacts alternative: iContact allows you to create a shortcut to any contact. This shortcut can be added to Androkkid and when clicked, the iContact details are shown, giving you direct access to home, mobile, work telephone and sms functionality.

I can't wait to see the next version!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
Battery widget

Enclosed is a battery widget. It's rather simple, but it shows the % in text and color, and whether it's charging. Clicking on it takes you to the power settings. Maybe later, I'll make a settings file so the colors can be customized.

However, as can be seen from the picture, the font doesn't show well in QVGA. It would be great if the font wouldn't be stretched when the image size changes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
OK. I think I was unclear. You need the numbers in the settings.ini file, but they need to be only numbers -- just edit out any parentheses, dashes & spaces. Your original contact numbers don't have to change in your contact manager.

Battery and memory bar

Here attached the battery and memory bar i'm using with androkkid. It takes only 1,2,3 pixel (configurable) along orizzontally on top of WM top bar. Just launch it and have a look. You can change also colors. Here the link to the software page: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/pwrstat.shtml

- Created a new Hero Theme with lateral button working with menu open on click

- Correct graphics and bugs in Next Appointment

- Created a Photo Frame widget

- Re-Edited icons from iReflect library for work good in Androkkid

Tomorrow or in week end i post all with new version of Androkkid if i have time.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
Hi, I was trying to understand what this has to do with Androkkid software... but I guess you are just saying you recommend it to other people if they want a small footprint battery & memory usage meter...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Thanks. Looking forward to it. Will it retain settings from the present version or will we need to redo our pages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I have Androkkid installed on a Treo Pro & I'm on AT&T Wireless. My one issue, at the moment, is with voicemail.

If I create a shortcut to voicemail.exe, then make it a voicemail shortcut, it'll show a count for new emails & bring up a player instead of dialing my voicemail access number.

If I create a contact for my voicemail access number, it doesn't show new voicemails. Changing it to a voicemail shortcut shows new voicemail count, but thinks the voicemail access number is supposed to be an app that doesn't exist.

If I create a vm.lnk that contains only my voicemail access number, then create a shortcut to that, it does nothing. If I change the shortcut to a voicemail shortcut, I get the new voicemail count, but it still doesn't dial my voicemail access number.

Any ideas how I can get this working so I get a new voicemail count & tapping the icon will dial my voicemail access number?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
When make widget you use the reference resolution of 480x640 (VGA) and Androkkid resize automatically the graphics for other resolutions.

Test it in Emulator if you can.

For Line Operator widget is a very simple widget to do, like the Battery Widget.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
No. The thanks should be to you. Donation just sent, and I have a couple of things to comment/ask about.

First, Androkkid just keeps getting better And two great versions in such a short time. Awesome!

1) Do the "+" & "-" on the pull up tab do anything?

2) How does the counter box on the Next Appointment calculate its number? Is it today & tomorrow, a certain number of hours? What types of events?

3) Just so others know what to expect, the top edge of the bottom bar of the Hero theme is a little pixelated on my Treo Pro at 96dpi, probably also true for full QVGA.

4) I've asked previously, but seen no response. Is there a way to create a voicemail shortcut that will display the new voicemail count and tapping it will dial my voicemail access phone number?

Thanks, again, for a great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noseya:

- the Conncetion Manager (getting: being able get into a menue with one click where you can turn on/off phone, bluetooth, wifi)

- the Soundconfig: being able to turn Volume to silent mode or config it without using the hardware buttons)

If this App had these two widgets,

it would be better than Spb Mobile Shell 3.5 which i purchased latley ...

Thanks for this great app, looking forward to use it (and of course donate) when some other widgets are on
