I have about 30% constant CPU usage on empty Androkkid page, and about 50-60% CPU usage on page with clock (digital) only. Is it normal?

BTW I love simplicity of changing layout of icons, their positions, etc. - this is BRILLANT.

There is an other launcher app written in native C launguage with similar simplicity of using?

If its .net all .net languages should work for that. As i know you can free combine them.

Is that different with windows mobile .net?

Amazing program. Thank you, SSJ5Trunks. Do you think it will be possible to remove the arrow at the bottom or press a button to make it appear?

Also can this program switch to landscape mode? I pressed my button to switch to landscape but only part of the screen changes.

I'm using a W-Zero 3 with WM5. Thanks again for your hard work!

NICE!!!

Very nice App! Works fine on my Treo Pro.

Of course needs an unread Email / SMS counter on it to be truly usable :-)

Keep up the nice work!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sid0101:
Yep, same problem. I'm running an Omnia WM 6.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
I think the problem is with a program in you windows start menu, check in your cache folder in icons and look which th last icon created and the next that isnt created is the problem.

Give me more info.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coebergh:
and the next that isnt created is the problem.

so if i'm not mistaken you say the problem is an icon that isnt there? This is not meant as if being an smartass its just the opposite, i dont understand it at all and i just want it to work :P! (looks great :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sid0101:
Well it stops at Camera for me, but in my Start Menu there isn't even a Camera program/file/icon. In fact, the icon folder doesn't build up in the same way that my start menu is ordered...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sid0101:
he wanted us to compare our start menu folder and our "icon folder" in Androkkid folder. By doing so, we could logically deduce what the problem was by the icon/program that doesn't appear next in the "Icon folder" but does appear in the Start Menu. The problem is that we can't, well I can't, really compare the folders because they are populating differently.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slampig:
Also having the same error with my Samsung Omnia i910 WM6.5.

I checked Program Files\Androkkid\Cache\Icons and when I sort by modified the first icon is 'Favorite People.png' at the bottom of the list is 'Contacts.png'. Hope this helps.

Edit:

Some more info:

Program Files\Androkkid\Cache\Contacts is empty still at this point

here's some screens
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] framir:
the last png created is demaged, i delete it and restart the application, but the problem is the same...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shinta4e:

for all you i910 users such as myself the problem is your rom i was using bw's wm7 and then tried bgills 2.4 and both didnt work so i flashed sikyou's 3.0.1 and it runs perfectly great job man i cant wait for all the other features
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Nice program. Only issue I have is that the icons in the all programs list look somewhat blocky and ugly, unlike the native 6.5 start menu. Otherwise, it's a fine program which I look forward to using.

Simo -- i posted a link to this thread from XDA homepage thread on Android emulator

It appears that the XDA-Developers.com homepage has been (finally) revised, and a current featured article is about an Android Emulator. that thread is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4460102

I posted to that thread about the existence of Androkkid -- saying that it runs native to WM, not an emulator.

Simo, please pay me my promotional fee now. (just kidding)

You never answered my question:

Explain some reasons why you feel this is a superior UI to iFonz. I want to hear it directly from you. Is this project more than an experiment for you? if so, please list FEATURES that make it a better or easier user experience than iFonz.

Thank you.

P.S. -- I sent email to the Google developer of Android UI and G1 phone to show him the user experience. He was very impressed!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Thanks for your promotional work, i'm very excited.

I work to Androkkid when i have time and now i have very less time, next future things to do are the Widgets but there are a lot of problems to solve if i want that everyone can make personal widget.

I look if it's possible in VB.NET, if anyone know the method to execute at runtime a code in a text file i appreciate the help.

I think Androkkid is more more useful and beatiful of iFonz because:

- you can make the same interface of iFonz if you want moving icons in a grid mode

- you can move icons and create personal pages

- you can create a blank page with only wallpaper

- in future you can add widget like, calendar appointments, clocks, meteo ecc...

Bye bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Yagami_ex:
This any chance to add widgets in this build? Or in any future build?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zindo:
Great application dude!!! :d:d
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sergutel:
Hello Ssj5Trunks,

I'm a fan of you and your developments.

I started use iFonz 1.1.2 long time ago.

Few weeks ago WhereIs 1.0.0. Great job too

and since now on testing (and waiting for a final version) Androkkid sftw.

Great design, excellent performance, fully customizable...

quick, stable... 10 out 10.

I will add my wish here:

to hide the WM topbar (or at least, give the option to user to hide it)

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hovie:
Just edit the Settings.ini, there's an option allowing to hide WM taskbar ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coebergh:
Ok here is my input:

Omnia i900 XKHJ3

For people with an omnia who get the error:

Install androkkid on your device (not storage but device, worked better for me).

-Run, you will probabely get the error.

-Then go to Androkkid\Cache\Icons -> delete the last created icon.

-Run Androkkid again, you will probabely get the error again.

-Do these steps over and over and you will see that more icons are

appearing each time you restart androkkid.

Finally Androkkid will start and running. It took me about 15 minutes to do these steps over and over and then got it working. When you got it working and close and restart it it might give you an error again, no problem just try again till you got it.

My personal feedback on androkkid so far:

- Looks smooth except for the icons, they are a bit blocky (dont know the correct term :P)

- The sliding up of all the programs gets interrupted by omnias close program utility. (When u slide from bottom up you get some samsung close program manager)

- I found it hard to change screens, I really had to go from the most right side to middle to switch page.

So these are three little things i found but for the rest it's really amazing, I'm really looking forward to further releases!

Regards

Coebergh
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] enemy2003:
ok i tried to do it again, i thought don't give up that fast...

i deleted the hole programm (including cache)

installed it again and it runs.

strange thing but ok.

first time i put an icon on the edit button, there was an other error.

second time (up to now) it works.

looking forward to this project, very nice app

Very nice interface and usefull utility.

I think is necessary to add some widgets to get a clock, an unreaded sms counter and something like the htchome interface.

May be it is necessary to loose time to find the best own configuration.

Nice job as well.

Hey Simo, This software kicks A$$ big time. Works great on my LG insite running on the memory card! I have a couple suggestions/ questions.

1. windows top bar off

2. auto align the icons, so its easier to space them similarly. but i do like how you can float them too.

3. can i change the programs tab settings (for the bottom of the screen), to a different folder. as to select the programs that appear in that tab? (thats a biggy)

4. Yeah widgets, but you plan on that.

But awsome work! I love how its similar to iFonz, but way better! My favorite feature has to be the background advancing with the pages!! Great! Glad to hear you will keep workingon this project!!!

Thankyou, LL182

I have an Omnia i910 running bgill's 2.4 rom and the solution that coebergh posted actually works it's a little annoying but it works. I deleted all the icons in the cache folder then followed the instructions and its been running smooth since then. (had to do the steps about 5 or 6 times)

For people with an omnia who get the error:

Install androkkid on your device (not storage but device, worked better for me).

-Run, you will probabely get the error.

-Then go to Androkkid\Cache\Icons -> delete the last created icon.

Comparing iFonz to Androkkid -- features and UI

Hey thanks for answering... Okay, now I'm starting to get it.. that the BIGGEST FACTOR is widgets, and building homepages that show the info you want by draggable layout, vs relying upon the format of a interface like a TODAY plugin, etc. Thanks for describing. I was also looking at FEWidgets here -- which is helping me to "get it".

So, now that I "get it" I look forward to trying it

Gotta say nice work and GRATE app! Really need some widgets ! a Hero style clock and some analog clocks are needed bad for this app.. maybe nice calander widget, weather, messaging etc.....

hopefully we will have an option to set tha default size of program icons in settings wen thats releaced? ? kinda sucks resizing each one - as on mine aswell they come out "blocky" at 44x44

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jdivic:
Great work, as I can see. Since it is all written in .NET I find it very fast and smooth, so can you give me some hint what framework or library do you use? And as I could find in this thread you will introduce widgets later. I'm very interested would you release SDK for development user widgets, because with community you have here I think that would be real deal.

Can anyone explain how I can add my phone, messaging, sms notifications and contacts icons on the screen?

With Ifonz2, they were added automatically and blocked on the pages.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smokeydonuts:
Tap and hold the icon you want to edit, then drag it to the pencil looking icon to bring up the edit screen. all you need to do now is click the type drop down menu and select the type of icon and at the bottom of the deit menu is a tick boxs to block the icon. click okay and your on your way.

Love the program, very responsive and fast.

The minimize program in the utils folder doesn't seem to work for my Touch pro (Fuze). it minimizes, and then it returns to normal view. Any body else figured out a work around?

Oh and in case no one else said anything... widgets.:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smokeydonuts:
qanda6900,

When you open the applications tab the phone and text and all those icon should be there, just tap and hold one and it brings it to the desktop. If they arent in there tap and hold on the desktop and click add, then link and use the browser to add the links. all of the ones you lised should be in the windows folder if you have a hard time finding them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mc S.H.O.:
this is myn for now
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skulk3r:
definitely need some clocks and calendar widgets, but otherwise, this is AWESOME!. Other things that would be useful are a weather widget and possibly a search widget =]...if we can get those widgets, i would get this to replace manilla for me =] =]

but this app looks freakin awesome!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] The_Punisher:
Works so great!!!

My recomendations:

1. continuous scrolling page

2. a liitle better icons resolution

The only problem (not really big deal, more like anoyance) is the call history link not working, appart from that everthing esle works perfect....

:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Notifs

mcSHO

Now that is one cool theme! How did you setup the buttons to show as (-), (+)), and Applications?

From info that smokeydonuts provided, I started thinking. I went back to my ifonz2, and did an Edit Icon for the ones I need. The menu gave me the path, icon type etc. It should be easy to enter the info to Androkkid.

I do recommend that the developer put in a "page indicator" as in ifonz2 since I arrange my icons my usage: Daily, System or Device settings, Useful apps, etc.

Since Androkkid loads ALL windows programs, my battery life went way down. I did not seem to have that problem with ifonz2.

Still a good GUI.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] framed:
Ok

Very, very interesting project.

TVM :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Me neither. I think a new version will be coming out soon. Developer didn't waist any time releasing Androkkid 0.4.0 as soon as he returned from vacation.

I guess he got a good rest! :)

With ifonz and ifonz 2, he learned the best and the worst, so Androkkid should be a pure slide.

Only thing is, it loads all Windows programs which is definetely draining the battery faster. Not sure what, if anything can be done about that.

Oh well, better to have a great program and worry about the battery later.;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smokeydonuts:
I dont think the battery drain has to do with it loading all the programs. From my understanding when it loads them it only would load the location and icons and move them cached folder, not actually run them. I havent seen any battery drain on my Fuze but then again i dont look at my battery level all that offten. It could just be a simple memory leak and thats a easy fix that im sure wont be over looked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stagejuan:
I couldnt get the SMS folder for my Omnia. There is a Messaging folder but when i make that as a shortcut and i go into it I have to click whether i want:

text messages

MMS

Setup E-mail

Anyway i can just get it to go to text messages whenever i click on the icon?

where can i find it in the Windows folder
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stagejuan:
Another thing I cant do is When i add contacts it puts them on the background but when i click them it says the number (whatever contact number) does not exist. I went to edit and have it as type:contact
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hovie:
For SMS you have to change the link of the shortcup to something in the windows folder but I dunno where
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smokeydonuts:
This is because emails and texts are all handled by the same program, I'm sure a work around can be made at some point in later development with this program because you are able to do what you're asking in TF3D and Titanium.

Hi to all, i have some problem on create custom widget because i'm not able to do the possibility to everyone to create your own widget.

There is a problem on create SDK code for people, if anyone has an idea i get it to make custom widget.

I can create normal widget but not custom widget.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jdivic:
Since whole project is written in .net it would be perfect if you make widgets as dlls, so your shell would load dlls and you have to provide APIs to be used from dlls to display widget content. It wouldn't be too hard to implement and you can add new APIs as community start to ask for them. And this concept has one more advantage, full development can be done from VS enviroment.
