I would not consider this a bug, there is an option to exit androkkid when required which i think is sufficient and the behaviour you claim is a bug to me is the program regaining control as it should until exited
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
So, if you click the "X" on the taskbar, Androkkid shouldn't close? If you tap the start menu on the taskbar, it should be hidden by Androkkid before you can use it? What works under WM 6.1 shouldn't work under WM 6.5? That's a bug.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Just to clarify something, I love Androkkid, I've donated toward it & I've talked about it in other forums.. WM is not as good as it ought to be & it's tough for a programmer to keep up with a changing OS. Particularly if you don't know all the changes before it comes out. But a behavior change with a new version of the OS is still a bug, even if it's not Simo's fault. Fortunately, knowing Simo's responsiveness, whatever's incorrect will be fixed. Thanks, Simo, for a great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I've reported the same issue with the minimize.exe app. The minimize via the Androkkid menu functions as it should: the Today screen is displayed. If the minimize.exe could function the same way, it would be possible to add a button to goto the Today screen, which I'm missing right now.

What version of Visual Studio should be used to open widgets source from SimoSoft Projects web page? I've tried VS 2005 professional and VB 2008 express editions: projects aren't compatible.

Is there any description how to create widget from scratch?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
I use VB 2008 Pro.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
Anyone know if the Visual Studio Express edition will work? Are any plugins needed for creating these widgets, or Windows Mobile in general?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
In general Visual Studio Express cannnot be used to develop Windows Mobile application.

But if you are looking for a freeware solution you can use SharpDevelop http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Download/

That's what I've used to develop all my widgets, and despite it's name, you can program in basic.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] olegsol:
Thank you. Will try this tool.

Actually, I've managed to compile the code by VS 2005 pro with some minor code modifications.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orangekid:
I love this app as a UI, here are the points I would like to see improved/added (in order of importance)

1- not use it as an "app" and able to select as today item instead, this will not only increase speed and rid lag, but you can then use HTC task manager to switch tasks instead of having that X on top right to close, or you have to minimize the whole program, then switch task then re maximize it.

2 - change location of "all programs" tab I mentioned this before, if I can select a specific folder with only the shortcuts I want in the "All programs" tab then it cleans it all up and I don't have a bunch of stuff I don't use in there, looks a lot better and more preferable.

3 - fix the contact shortcuts when I add a contact shortcut it adds fine, but when I click on it to call or send sms nothing happens.

4 - add a folder shortcut I know this is "in development" so it will eventually come, the sooner the better :)

5 - more/better widgets! This will just come along with development. The weather widget is ok and will work for now, but I think we all want more of a tf3d or a Hero type of weather widget, or even a hero clock with weather integrated into it. The more widgets added the better!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ccrdr:
Love this app too. Thank you! I am having a bug that I haven't noticed in this thread, apologies if I missed it. My webpage links disappear after a setting change or restart. I have a cdma tp with stock alltel rom.

Thanks again, looking forward to watching this grow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
I had a similar problem with a webpage link to a secure website (https), apparently due to having an '=' in the address. I believe this is going to be fixed in the next release

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
Does this reference similar to what you are doing?

http://c-scope.blogspot.com/search/label/Compact Framework

If not could you post a small tutorial/help or reference an existing one? Thanks!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
I am not sure what you mean, but here is what I have done:

Install sharpdevelop.

Start new project: there will be options as to what kind of application and programming language you want to use. Make sure you start a project that compiles into a dll, and that you use the required functions (see ssj5trunks's widgets web page in the first post - there is source code for the included widgets there)

Or unzip the source file for the widgets that come with source, and load the solution file into Sharpdevelop. Then you will see how to develop a widget.

As for tutorials, developing a widget is like programming. You can program in Basic so if you want a tutorial for Basic do a google search for embedded visual basic, and there should be lots of links.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Simo has acknowledged that there is an issue with the contact menu, at least for some. If you go into settings & shut off contact menus, your contact shortcuts should work fine for calling. But be sure that the phone numbers have only numbers. No separators of any kind, including spaces.

Version 1.0.0.0

@ Simo

Bad news. V 1.0.0.0 won't install on top of version 0.8.0.0 and also won't install if version 0.8.0.0 is uninstalled first.

Symptoms: Hangs on splash screen. Only button that does anything is the red phone button with brings up an exception error screen.

Have reverted back to version 0.8.0.0 which work fine
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
1.0.0 is out :) For install, I renamed my old androkkid folder to androkkid080, then copied the new androkkid folder (from the zip download) into programfiles and started the androkkid.exe. I didn't try to re-use the setup.ini yet.

Couple questions already...

-can we copy our setup file from 0.8 into the new directory safely?

-how is new icon different than a shortcut?

I'm still getting frequent crashes when I add/edit new objects (I have old Wizard with limited memory).

Thank you again for all of your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
The above referred to installing from the CAB file. I have now followed itesla's lead and renamed the folder for version 0.8.0.0 and copied the contents of the ZIP file across for version 1.0.0.0. Also copied my settings.ini file across from V0.8.0.0 and all seems to be working so far. Good work Simo!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SpeziAlex:
Hi,

i had the same problem with the cab download link from simosoftprojects.com. use the zip download link.

the problem is that in the cab file the file folder.png in both themes doesn't exist, but you can only read the error if you have a a message cab for framework 3.5 installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
Version 1.0.0.0 initial observations:

Has anyone worked out how to use the new 'folders' facility? I can create a 'New Folder' icon, I can rename it, but I can't populate it with shortcuts or make it point to an existing folder containing shortcuts. Am I missing something?

Also, the Call/SMS/MMS menu option for contacts in Settings seems to have disappeared in this release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SpeziAlex:
how folder works:

1. add an folder

2. move an shortcut from all programs button on the folder icon

3. the moved shortcut disappears and apperas if you click on the folder

it would be really nice if you can rearrange the order of the icons in an folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] badticket:
Hi,

having XTROM 21870 ROM on my HD and I've run the 1.0.0 cab....(I'am not having the 0.8 version before on the HD)

I can see the sparkeling Logo "androkkoid" .... but this is all... It does not work on my Xanny ROM HD ....

Any reason to this ? (netframework 3.* seems to be on board (cooked in the ROM) but not 3.5 ....)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SpeziAlex:
@badticket

use the zip version ... in the cab version one file named folder.png in both theme folders is missing ... or copy these file into the right folders.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
@ SpeziAlex

Many thanks.

The only way I have found to re-order icons in a folder is to alter the order they appear in settings.ini with a text editor

** UI EDITORIAL ** (PLUS) Anyone want to create this theme for ANDROKKID ? ( xpPhone)

This is the interface for a new WindowsXP phone made in China. I saw this today on GIZMODO:

--

HTC's Hero theme transformed people's view of the possibilities for Android OS ...

I just find it interesting to see different touchscreen interface schemes. And the above XP phone interface is not for Windows Mobile, but for fully functional Windows XP OS. So we see more convergence of platforms and devices.

ANDROKKID's FLEXIBILITY:

This is the way I see it: Once simo moved away from ifonz and towards androkkid, the "radical change" was making the whole screen addressable in terms of navigation and display elements. Version 1 of androkkid featured the "look" of android's wallpaper scheme -- which to me was always lifeless and ugly. But HTC's Hero showed how some simple graphical elements could transform the overall view of Android -- which I am sure made Android's makers very happy, since they built something with an open architecture.

Now that we see the Hero Theme for Androkkid, to me this look also demonstrates the greater power available to revamp the entire look of Androkkid... more than just dragging around some widgets on a phone desktop. (Below is my own screenshot of how I've configured Androkkid, with what really boil down to very minor graphical element changes for the bottom 3 tabs.)

-----

So I am really interested to see how themers and widget makers push androkkid's capabilities even further. And that's why I posted the XP phone interface above -- just for visual inspiration.

Lastly: The "competitor" (at XDA) to Androkkid's widget-based interface scheme is FEWidgets Ultimate 1.0b12, screenshots below: My reason for posting it is that it has, ready made, some of the interface navigation scheme of the XP Phone.

--

Me? I really focus on USING my phone, vs a lot of XDA folks who like trying on all the latest new styles, new touchflo this, or the WindowsMobile 6.5 look. ( My own opinion is that 6.5 is such a wasted use of everyone's time, since MS's Ballmer himself acknowleges WindowsMobile 7.0 should be out -- and THAT could be a game changer. It will for sure have elements of the Zune HD interface, which is following the interface "family" of Windows 7.0 desktop )

My point is: I am looking for "the keeper" interface for WM phones-- because I can't stand the time it takes to convert and reinstall stuff. This is why I am betting on simo and androkkid. And this post is meant to drive more themed executions of Androkkid. (I will post this on the widget thread too, since not everyone sees this thread).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] top_banana123:
Nope can only get it to work by installing 0.8 then overwriting with 1.0 files.

How do you change the analog clock faces? You have several but I can't see how to change them.

Also any chance you can use apptodate?

Brilliant though, just gets better and better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Simo, great job! Androkkid just keeps getting better & better.

The WM 6.5 start menu still disappears too quickly, but as I look further at the pull-up menu & the settings options in shortcuts.txt, that's becoming more of a nonissue -- you've already supplied alternatives for most or all of what I use regularly.

I do have a couple of questions, though.

First, WM seems to be very good at leaving open as many apps as the OS & hardware will allow. I found the taskmanager link that seems to be the generic "running tasks" window. But I really prefer the graphic HTC version, accessible from the upper right corner when Androkkid is not running. Do you (or does anyone) know how to access it from within Androkkid? And will it stay visible if we can access it?

Second, is there a way to move the entire contents of a page? I set the start page as 1. And I set the number of pages to 7. Somehow, that changed to 8. And, without realizing that had happened, I did a whole contacts page on the last page, so they would be quickly accessible by moving one page away from my start page. If I remove a page, it's the last one, deleting my contacts shortcuts. Interestingly, if I later add a page it brings back that page, restoring my shortcuts. But I don't need 8 pages, maybe not even 7. Or, if adding another page to add content, you might not necessarily want to place it on the last page. So, it would be great if there was a way to move an entire page's contents to another page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] insaint:
So Androkkid froze on me too. It got stuck on splash screen, though there is an error message under it, that says something of sorts: "To see the actual error message get .NET 3.5 Framework Messages".

You can recover your androkkid by deleting "settings.ini" and "settings.ini.bak" files from androkkid dir. That would revert settings to their defaults obviously.

It would seam that the error occurs when i use my own modified theme. Changing no other setting resulted in a n error.

Edit: I figured it out. The reason for he error was that my custom theme was modified from a previous release of androkkid. There were 2 files missing from my theme - "TitleFolder.png" and "Folder.png". Once I did add them the error is gone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dalglisha:
Two questions

keep up your good work^^

waiting 4 more widget to come, especially like widget on real android running on HTC Hero.

for those who unable to load Androkkid version 1.0.0.0,

try using ZIP version instead of the CAB version.

or after you install the CAB version, replace them with ZIP version.

works great on my Blue Angel installed on memory card.

Latest cab still fails

I've tried latest cab, but no success, it stays all the time on splash screen until I press the cross

Works by installing 0.8.0 cab and overwritting with 1.0.0 files from zip

Seems a resource is left opened, because :

- uninstall Androkkid

- install 1.0.0 cab

- start (fails)

- try t overwrite 1.0.0 by 1.0.0 zip files -> fails

- reset phone

- uninstall 1.0.0

- install 0.8.0 cab

- start 0.8.0 OK

- reset phone (maybe useless, just to be safe)

- overwrite 0.8.0 by 1.0.0

- start 1.0.0 OK

I'm just starting tests, I'll reply in a few to let you know if bug after eco-entering disappeared

Androkkid Ver 1.0.0.0

I have been using IFonz2 for quite awhile and love it, so I tried Androkkid on my HTC Touch Vogue(6900), with WM 6.1. Installation to the device went fine. Before starting Androkkid, I shut down IFonz2. When Androkidd was started, it hung on the Androkkid splash screen and would not go any further. I closed the app (X), and an error message was displayed: "An unexpected error occurred in Androkkid.exe. Details page: "File not found exception". Since I was starting the app using the .exe file, what file is actually missing? I had downloaded the zip/cab file directly from the simosoftprojectts site.

Also, when the app is removed via Add/Remove programs, not all files are removed from the Androkkid directory. Cache, Widgets and settings. ini remained. I simply deleted the directory.

Is there any reason why it would not work properly on my device. Can you help me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] magicozero:
