602 to be exact :D

I bring with me programs since 2004 originally for Windows 2003 but still working on new systems :) Of course I use most of them rarely, but you know, I'm sure if I cancel some I'll need it the day after :D

How is memory use for you all? With Androkkid (v 0.8.0) running I am at 5.25MB Free Program Memory. After killing Androkkid, jumps to to 14.18MB. That's about 9MB. I have about 130 program icons cached, does that matter?

Edit: Trying 1.0 again, I see similar memory usage... 8MB

Also, there are a bunch of control panel shortcuts referenced in the first post. Anyone know how to jump to the main control panel "Personal" tab (not one of the settings)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
1688K(1.6MB) RAM used by androkkid here

for a shortcut to settings, use the included settings.exe(in the androkkid\utils folder) or make a shortcut to the exe in the attached zip(looks better on wm 6.5.1 but appears to be made for QVGA)

for shortcuts to folders just grab a shortcut to the file explorer and add the location of the folder you want to link to in the parameters field(only works for actual folders, so linking to the settings folder in the start menu gives you an empty folder)

timed here, androkkid takes 5 seconds to start from the moment i tap the androkkid shortcut(so fast it often skips the androkkid loading screen)

running WM6.5.1 (eugenia rom 1.01 full for HTC diamond)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
That's what that is for... I added a shortcut to the included utils\settings.exe added to my startmenu so it automatically appears in the Androkkid program list. Thanks!

I like to roll with the stock WM5 on my antique 200MHz Wizard ;-) It takes about 58 seconds from tap to seeing my Androkkid setup!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
for those who use wm 6.5.1 i really do recommend the control panel.exe i just attached.

settings.exe has the layout completely hardcoded, so it doesn't fit with some themes and it ignores 4-icons-in-a-row tweaks

control panel.exe still ignores some stuff, but atleast it still follows main theme behaviour(so on 6.5.1 it has the new tab design) and only seeing the top-left ¼ of the icons also gives a nice effect
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
Thanks!!! I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I've used settings.exe, and you are absolutely right, it ignores the 4-icons-in-a-row tweak. It works, but it is just not aesthetically pleasing. Thank you so much for this.

By the way, I am using folderview.exe to display my program directory. It has the same problem with ignoring the 4-icons-in-a-row tweak. Do you have or know of a exe file that can display the program folder without the layout hardcoded?

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
Do you mean access to ANDROKKID Settings, or WindowsMobile Settings?

(1) ANDROKKID SETTINGS: Anywhere on the desktop, in between any icon, if you tap and hold, you get a whole menu of items, including direct access to SETTINGS.

(2) CREATING ICONS THAT LINK TO WINDOWS MOBILE SETTINGS:

These are all spelled out in the file attachment called "SHORTCUTS.txt" in Post #1 of this thread. Instead of just providing a link to a FOLDER of settings within WindowsMobile, Simo has given you individual access to many Personal Settings, System Settings, Communications Settings. That means 1-click access from an icon.

I will quite from that Shortcuts.txt file:

There are a few key ones missing, like WIFI Settings, so Be more specific when you make a request of Simo:

If you're looking for a link to the PERSONAL SETTINGS folder, ask him. Or SYSTEM SETTINGS folder, or CONNECTIONS folder.

Hi Quicksite, you are ever a lot expansive in your explanation.

I want anwser:

1 - I can only make a button of minimize and i can add it in next version selectable in Type icons combobox, this isnt a problem to do;

2 - Folder for icons is a simple settings and i can set it when you click on button to change an icon image, this isnt a problem to do;

3 - Screen lock is a problem, because i dont know the functions to block all hardware buttons of all devices, instead the S2U2 program or similar do this action very well and are developed for this. Use these programs and dont ask me to recreate it.

I use S2U2 and disable all notifications, weather or other options if you dont want it and it do what you want.

I can search how to block the hardware buttons but it is a very big problem for VB.NET.

Bye

P.S.

The last CAB installation in my site work now or not?????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
Hi Simo, If there is to be another update, could you make the changes to the battery widget icon that I requested previously (unless there is a reason why you can't).

They are:

Change the English text from 'In charging' to 'Charging'

Speed up the graphic cycle time to about 15 seconds

Both of these changes would make the appearance of Androkkid more professional looking and would definitely win another donation from me :)

Many thanks.

Screen Lock

I have tried at least 10 different versions of S2U2 and what they all have in common is that they completely **** up my phone, Most of the time I'm not able answer incoming calls at all, S2U2 just kind of locks up everything and I furiously try again and again to answer the call. I'm very busy exploring other things at the moment but I dream of finding a screen locker that works and still lets me answer calls
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
teacher, I am guessing you've tried every variation... but I understand this problem exactly. (i've spent 4 years with windows mobile just trying to answer simple phonecalls: they, as always , are partially at fault due to retarded interface. htc phone canvas finally made answering a simple phonecalls not a mind-numbing ordeal ). with s2u2 it works best when you turn off every phone feature incl especially caller id. all that stuff like "blank screen" and whatever else, disable all in s2u2 prefs... then, when a call comes , it does pass the call thru to phone canvas...... that improved things a lot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
Not sure if this solution is what you are looking for:

There is a free application called PQz_key.exe that simulates key presses. If you use that app with the command line argument D:85, it invokes the built in windows mobile lock facility. I have it as a shortcut in Androkkid on my o2 XDA Stellar (Tytn II clone) running WM6.1 and it works fine, locking the phone, but allowing calls to be answered.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
First of all i dont have a method to lock/unlock the device, i use S2U2 in my device.

Second i want add a variables to save the last folders used for icons and applications.

And now the answers:

1. To turn off grid go to Androkkid Settings and set 1x1 in Grid dimension;

2. I dont know why the rendering of icons is bad, in my Diamond is correct, i think it is a problem of dimension of icons or Extraction of icon from Executables;

3. Each developer can create his widget how it want, it can use directly graphics object without resize the fonts or other bitmaps. I have uploaded some examples but the developer can modify the use of variables (See the Analog Clock source code, in it i dont resize anything);

4. No my posts start with "Bye" word and i write before of it. :)

Bye

P.s.

I'm writing in my notepad all yours suggestions (Quicksite and Burnlea) and in next version i'll add it.

Thanks to burnlea and quicksite

Talk about retarded wm. Here are some of the things which make my HTC x7510 lightyears in front of the software nightmare it was out of the box.

If i manage to display the picture beneath you can see what makes my day much easier

Just one click for everything and no going looking deep in submenus

I made a lot of shortcut links to windowscalls and all you have to do is to put them in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and after you restart Androkkid they show up in the Androkkid programs interface. Then all you have to do is to assign an icon

LOVING IT!

I installed the Androkkid on my iPaq 2400 series pocket pc, and although it took me awhile to get it up and running, it is so well worth any effort. I had some issues with NET 3.5, but it has performed flawlessly since installed, and I now am trying to find the perfect PNG's for all the applications. 5 pages worth, love the ability to view my pictures, and the background scrolls so smooth. Very good job on this program, beats everything out there!

:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
i apologize if this has been asked, I searched and didn't see it. I have the zip version and put it in my program files, but everytime I try to run I get "DirectoryNotFoundException" error, any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
Did you just put the exe file in the program folder or the entire unzipped Androkkid folder. I've never heard of your error before
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] surrealbliss:
so can you explain to me what it was that happened the first time I loaded Androkkid and it made me slide a button from about 30% of the way of the screen down to the bottom to unlock it?

Am I delusional? Is that what you're telling me?

========================

Anyways... at this point I no longer care for Androkkid to have this functionality as I am now enjoying Throttle Lock, which is an Android like locking program. It's quite nice. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
Ofcourse you are delusional, didn't your nearest friends give you a hint yet;)

No but seriously neither ifonz nor Androkkid has ever had anything like that and the developer has always promoted S2U2 in a big way and he uses that himself.

Most of the people you find on XDA try a lot of different apps on their devices so maybe you somhow triggered some remnant in the register of an old app that you have forgotten about
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
yes sir, I left everything the way it was in the zip. Just moved the Androkkid folder to "Program Files". The initial splash screen comes up then I get the error. I have 3.5 installed and had no problem running iFonz 1 or 2. I'm able to open and save settings but the program crashes on me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
This is very strange. You can ofcourse try to run it from another location because Androkkid can be run from anywhere you like on your device. Just speculating now.. Could something have gone wrong during download, maybe you should download it again and see if you get the same result.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
thanks for your help teacher, I still can't get it to work. I tried redownloading, moving it to the root directory, and installing the cab.....still same problem :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
If you have patience enough to try out stuff. How about trying out Androkkid. 0.80 to see if that works for you. 0.8.0 is damn good anyway
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
By the way don't use the cab. Use Androkkid cabless, so much better in my experience. If you have used the cab version untill now you should definitely try the cabless version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ccrdr:
surrealbliss, same thing happened to me on first launch, just as you describe. Seems like it had the same black background as the programs tray. The first version I loaded was .8 on my TP running stock Alltel rom.

Orientation Problem

Hi,

On my IPAQ 214 .net3.5 WM6.5, when I switch between portrait and landscape, Androkkid does not update. i.e. If started in portrait it loads fine, but if I then switch to landscape it basically rotates Androkkid to landscape but with portrait mode dimensions and vice versa. Also when I press START it briefly shows the menu then it disappears.

On a side note how much RAM does this use as I was thinking of loading it on to my HTC Universal, but that has limited RAM.

Thanks for the effort and thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] surrealbliss:
It couldn't have possibly be any old program as I had just gotten my phone replaced by Sprint. Because I had just gotten it replaced I came to freewarepocketpc.net to re-download a different customization program and I came across Androkkid. Androkkid was the 3rd program I put on my phone only after Total Commander and Google Maps. So whatever it was I saw definitely came from Androkkid.

Thank you! I'm not crazy!

I had just got my new phone replacement and I updated it to the Sprint win6.1 with radio rom and then as described above... Third program I installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
I'm going to be reinstalling Androkkid after I've just done a hard-reset which wipes the device drive. I'll install it to device and watch closely. No one has ever seen simo in real life. He could very well be an android with a wicked sense of humor trying to drive you mad, insane. We just don't know anything about this droid, other than he says "bye" a lot.

TEACHER: why, in your view, is androkkid a better performing app when unzipped, vs installed by cab? I'd like to know before i run this experiment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zer0es:
Hi,

Im using Androkkid 1.0 and all is working fine for me.

Im using WM 6.5 and i like the default lock.

My question is, is there any way we can invoke the lock with icon on the screen?

Is there any shortcut we can put in?

Since i cant access to the honeycomb menu after i use Androkkid, so i can only lock my device with long press end key.

Any idea?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
I like that you can install where you like, and not always in program files, but much more important is the fact that I remember that somebody had installing troubles and then when they went from cab to zip their troubles went away for no apparent reason. I can't remember how long ago I read it and it might have been for Ifonz not Androkkid but nevertheless...

it simply doesn't support landscape resolutions.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
@zer0es

1. download a suitable 'lock' icon

2. create a new shortcut pointing the 'Link' field to PQz_key.exe

3. put D:85 in the 'Parameters' field

4. point the 'Image' field to the lock icon

5. Click OK
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zer0es:
That's quite complicated:confused:

But i found another program which do the same thing as this one.

Lockandoff.exe will just lock your device and turn off the backlight at the same time!:D

Guess im a happy man now:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
Not really complicated, just the standard procedure for a shortcut to any application in Androkkid.

The advantage of PQz_key.exe is that you can create shortcuts to other functions also such as the DPad Left and Right keys to move the Androkkid screen one page left or right if you don't have 'finger gestures' available.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
i tried both versions, and zipped and cab still nothing, i'll try reinstalled 3.5 to see if that helps

edit it didn't :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] surrealbliss:
I noticed you were also asking about the cab/zip versions, and I thought I'd add that I installed .8 with the cab and installed it to my storage card the first time when I saw the screen lock. I've thought about doing the hard reset myself and re-installing it just to get a screen shot... but I really don't want to re-install everything again since I just did it when I replaced my phone within the last couple weeks. ;(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
I used the .CAB installation for v 1.0.0, installed to storage card.

Result: I did not see any unlock pulldown action, BUT: turns out it wasn't a "virgin" experience so it does not recreate the circumstances. I had an androkkid exe file somewhere nested in my storage card, so a settings file got read somewhere and the new install. Thus, upon launching the app for first time since having wiped my device drive with hard reset, after the loading wait, what appeared was a prior layout of the Hero theme which I had used before.

Sorry, I spoiled the experiment...

But... I also had a crash experience. After I ran the settings app to change some settings, after exiting the androkkid app started up automatically, but after a short load time it crashed with an error messages. I clicked for "more details" but I can't remember why now, but I could not get any further details.

Now this could be coincidence, or teacher may be right that installing via unzip, vs via cab produces a better result. I'm no programmer, but that sure doesn't sound right, unless the .cab install process writes to registry... but I suppose if it shows up in the "Remove programs" list, windows has to know it was installed -- so it probably IS slightly dfferent.

[ TRIVIA QUIZ for Simo fans ] Who was it who first objected to simo's switch in the ifonz application method from a .cab install to this "unzip it anywhere" concept? And then shamed simo into providing a .cab version the next time out?

Is this person to blame for crash problems?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:

Seriously I agree with you quicksite apps should come with a standardized install method, but I'm very happy to get both so those of us who prefer to use the zip version can continue doing that.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
The option is there. But, if you turn the option menu on, none of the choices work. If you leave your contacts without the options, tapping will dial properly. Since the option menu was introduced relatively recently, I'm sure it's something Simo wants in there & intends to correct. in one of the next versions.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Yes. It is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Now, for the serious answer. Androkkid gives the WM user an Android-like UI, including scrolling wallpaper. Much of what it does is based on the fact that you can have multiple pages, designed the way you want them to be -- clocks, weather widgets, appointment widgets, contacts, shortcuts, etc. Whatever combinations you want. Like Android, much of the functionality is via widgets, but you can use shortcuts to WM apps, URL links, contact links, folders of any combinations of these, etc. Right now, you can manually add a picture to each contact by changing the icon, but not having tried it, I don't know how well they'd display.

I've tried a number of UIs, including several variations of TouchFlo, SPB, Pointui & Motosurf. And I keep coming back to Androkkid. Your experience with it is only limited by what wallpapers you have, the available widgets & your own creativity. Give Androkkid a try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Is there a way to lock page layout in place? In normal use, there's usually no issue. But, once in awhile, if I swipe the wrong way, a shortcut ends up on a different page, maybe with the related app already open. Sometimes, that's my own klutziness & sometimes my Tilt2 wakens as I'm removing from the case, with my finger opening the app & moving the icon. It'd be great to have some kind of design lock -- unlock to intentionally move things around, lock to keep them in place after you've decided where you want things. Much easier than trying to move an icon back to it's own page & position from hanging off the edge of another page. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
I'd love this kind of lock as well:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
And a way to 'nudge' icons into position please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psichi:
Are the bottom buttons (the ones on either side of the program menu) supposed to do anything in the current version? On my Sprint Touch Pro running NFSFan's WinMo 6.5 b14, they do not respond to anything.

Also, is a snap-to-grid feature planned for a future release? It would make laying out icons much easier.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Now i'm making this new features:

- Changed in Battery Widget "In charging" with "Charging" and update the velocity of Charging

- Saved the last directory used for links, icons etc... and use it when click buttons to choose a file

- Make Type buttons to Minimize, Go To Home, Go to Next page, Go to Prev Page, Go to Settings(Androkkid)
