Possible bug?

Simo,

I have encountered an error that I don't remember reading anyone else encountering.

If I add a new icon, it has the icon type "normal." If later I change the type to "folder" Androkkid crashes and the Androkkid settings file is changed so that all the icons settings are gone.:eek:

I did this twice to confirm this error and both time it crashed and the settings are resetted. Fortunately, I kept a copy of my settings file.

If anyone else seen this please let the forum know and perhaps Simo can look into it. But as precaution, keep a copy of your settings file!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
I have also experienced the very same effect, but like you, I keep a backup of settings.ini, so was able to recover. What puzzles me is that it not only initialises settings.ini but also the settings.ini.bak file

Contact not working

same problem here,

wm 6.1, japanese version

too bad, the rest is very nice.

cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
It sounds like you aren't running the latest version of Androkkid as v1.2.1.0 no longer has the Call/SMS/MMS option for contacts because it didn't function, as you have found out:)

battery

ok so this is an awesome app. i have now finished reading all 96 pages. I have battery issues. when i run androkkid my battery drains fast. if i open it in the morning my battery is dead by 2pm. If i don't open it i am at 50% by 11pm. i am not using the androkkid top bar. and i do not have a magnetic phone pouch (2 issues i read about in the 96 pages).

any ideas of something i can change to save my battery. I havent heard many battery complaints. but i am pretty sure it is androkkid bc with it on my battery drains and with it off my battery doesnt drain as fast.

i have the verizon HTC xv6975 (imagio) wm6.5 which is notoriously bad on battery already.

thanks for any help.

Any plans on making a today plugin?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I think I know the issue, Chumpster. With 96 pages of stuff, I'm not going to go searching for the precise message. :rolleyes: IIRC, Simo indicated, when 1.20 first came out, that there was only one icon usable for folders & Androkkid would have issues if you tried to change the icon. This sounds like you reversed the process, but experienced the same issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
I remember reading something about that, but I could not find it (so thanks for confirming it). This may just be something where the user has to be careful. But since it resets the settings file, my post may be should be taken as a warning or a precaution to make a backup of the settings file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Heck, I sometimes feel like I need to do that kind of backup to protect my phone from me. :p

Is there any known battery consumtion issues with version 1.2.1?

I installed it last night (Used iFonz 2 previously) and during this morning (full charge at start of day) its gone down quite quickly. I've been charging it via USB and it seemed to charge slower than usual, closed Androkkid and its charging properly speed now.

Any settings / options which are known to case issues?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I've seen others mention the same thing. The usual responses are from people not experiencing the problem. In my case, I saw a change after adding a widget. The next day, after recharging, everything seemed to be back to normal. But there are enough people asking that there may be battery life issues with particular phones & I'm sure Simo is looking into it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ebarten:
OK. I like the interface - a lot.

Actually would love to replace the today screen with it.

One major problem though. How do I access the settings? All I have are the programs. Where are the settings? like: phone settings, data connections, input etc. ?

Would love to have answer to that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
There is an executable that will open up the settings. See this thread

You can add a new icon and link it to this executable. Hope this helps.

close the interface down and open the txt file in the androkkid folder
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
Two final request for ssj5trunks's before I am happy to contribute.

Is there any more you can do to improve the smoothness of the graphics when deployed? I have recently looked at both PointUI Home and ThrottleLauncher and both of these have much improved graphics.

This does not appear to be down to the graphics used as I have tried unsuccessfully to implement them in to androkkid. When I have attempted this myself what I have ended up with is a pink fringe to any image used.

The second related request is for the ability to implement levels of transparency for panel backgrounds.

Many thanks and happy new year

thx

Question - for the all programmes button. is there anyway to hide folders/subfolders. For example stuff i want to be in the full / normal start menu, but not particllary want to use often / clutter up the androkkid menu.

For example atm, it even shows a license.txt from a subfolder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
I don't think its possible to hide anything in the Programs folder. Best solution is to 'copy' those items that you use regularly from the programs folder to a new page. You do this by first making sure you have 'Unlocked Pages', then add a new page. Next, tap on 'Programs' and then tap and hold on the program icon you want on the new page. A copy of that program shortcut can then be 'dropped' on the new page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] myalias4xda:
Hi,

I already loved "Ifonz 2" (apart from its new ugly "out of date!" banner)...

Androkkid is a great improvement, yet most page menus (~all of them apart from "insert folders") cause a direct crash on my samsung omnia... Which means that in order to make it work, I had no other choice than converting the "old" "Ifonz 2" "settings.dat" to the new "settings.ini" (which is ok for icons, but I would need the syntax for adding widgets or hyperlinks)

So, hope you can find a fix to this issue... and would love (please), in the meanwhile, to use Ifonz 2 again (but without the banner) ^^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Seems there's some new competition: Infinity.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
There are some nice touches, but it has a lot of catching up to do. It doesn't appear that you can change much, yet. And Androkkid has the widget authors. :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
And the theme designers:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
Infinity is going to be BIG! :D And what you see is only an Alpha.

It will be skinable and everyone will be able to write widget dlls for it with the widget SDK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
That, too. :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Unless it's SPB Mobile Shell or some flavor of TouchFlo, I'm not sure BIG! is necessarily the word to use. Those positives you mention also fit Pointui 2 & Androkkid, both of which have very active communities with themes & add-ons, & very loyal fans. It looks like Infinity is headed in that direction, as well. And it has some of the nice touches I'd expect from Ageye (I paid for three of their four paid apps, I'm a fan). But I'm not about to call any of them BIG!, just yet. :rolleyes: But I'll guarantee one thing: given a few more widgets & themes & there'll be happy users of three very nice UIs. :)

Icons for Folders?

I am loving Androkkid (1.2.1.0) on my iPAQ rx5900 Travel Companion (WM5, QVGA). I have made my donation. And read all 982 posts :-)

I have added a folder icon and filled it with several games shortcuts.

The folder uses the default WM folder icon, and as far as I know, there is no way of changing the folder icon to one that would represent "Games". I do not use text titles for my icons because the titles are either too big or unreadable on my QVGA screen.

So I think it would be a great improvement to allow the folder-type shortcut to use an appropriate icon to identify the shortcuts it contains.

What do you think?

Androkkid Taskbar flashes

:confused:

I am using 1.2.1.0 on WM5, QVGA. The Standard theme.

I have two widgets blocked at the top of the screen - digital clock and battery.

If I turn on the Androkkid Top Bar, the bar as well as the bottom buttons flash on/off about once a second. Very distracting, to say the least!

Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

- Jeff
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
You actually can change the folder to an icon that you chose. It is actually a roundabout method of doing this.

1. Add the folder icon.

2. Drag the folder icon to the edit.

3. on the "Type" pull down, change it to "Normal"; after you do this, the "Image" line should no longer be grey-out. You should be able to point it to any icon you have saved on your device.

4. After you selected the image, change the "Type" pull down back to folder, hit "ok" and you are done.:)

Keep this in mind. You have to start this with a folder icon -> normal icon -> folder icon.

DO NOT start with normal icon -> folder icon!!! This will cause Androkkid to crash and resets your setting.ini file (I learned this the hard way):eek:

And as a precaution, I would make a copy of the setting.ini file so that all the work put in to arrange the Androkkid is not lost.

Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
All you have to do is replace the folder icon in the theme folder you use with a graphic of the same size. See how I did it below, it is very easy;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jschall:
Now I can change individual folders' icons!

Thanks, chumpster, that worked!

Teacher, your suggestion would apply to ALL my folders, whereas I want a different icon for EACH folder - Games, Ebooks, etc.

Flashing Top Bar

Anybody?

- Jeff
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
I ran into this behavior as well; the Androkkid task bar flashes on/off. I never found a solution for it, but since I still had the windows top bar, having the androkkid task bar took up too much real estate on my screen. I decided not to use it. So I don't have a solution for you.:(

But, all of the function on the Androkkid task bar can be done either through the existing widgets or icons types in Androkkid.

Little help please!

I'm going insane on this one - my girlfriend insists on wanted her calendar the way she had it back on ifonz (i.e. just the icon, no widget), but search and try as I may, I can't find the right prameter to stick in the calendar's icon for the date to show up on the blank icon - can anybody point me in the right direction please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
I think this is a bug that no one else has noticed as most people are using one of the clock widgets with the built in calendar. If you select Calendar type when you edit the new icon's settings, it should work, but doesn't. Hopefully Simo will see this and produce an update

RegInfo Request

Hey Wmd, I have a couple requests for RegInfo.

1. If you click the text in the widget, it says something like "WMDRegInfo - Weather, HKLM\Software\Goraps..." which I assume is some sort of debugging info? Anyway to make clicking this give the same action as clicking the icon?

2. A new idea, but perhaps a new setting, in conjunction with the exe settings, perhaps a reg setting to launch apps? For instance, the RSS script I made drops a URL to each article in the registry, it would be cool then if you clicked the icon or text it could load whatever file was specified at a registry location. Since in RegInfo, for an exe you can alternatively just type in a web address (I tried and this works!), this would make it a great rotating RSS feed widget as well that also loads the articles, without too much extra work :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qkzoo:
Request

@wmd Scratch my second request. Could you make it possible, instead to pass arguments when specifying an exe? I found an alternative using MortScript for my second request above, but it requires passing arguments which don't seem to work right now...

Thanks!

Q
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
Simo told me this functionality is not included in the code this time, because there are widgets doing the job now:eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Hi qkzoo.

1. this was intended, so you can see what's the source of your information. No problem for me to make it clickable and do the same action as for an icon (if one is defined)

2. exe's support parameters. Just seperate the exe and it's parameters by a semicolon (";") (e.g. exe14=\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe;-details -2147483647)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jerrya:
Just wanted to drop a line to extol the wonders of Androkkid. I have now tried ThrottleLauncher, Pointui2, and a few other UI's, and have always returned to the easy to set up, easy to customize, easy to use, stable, multi-useful Androkkid UI.

SimoSoft has nailed what a UI, especially a finger friendly UI, should be - right on the head, or should I say finger!

Thanks man for a really great product!

And to wmdirk, your widgets really make using Androkkid just plain fun and even easier!

Everyone on this forum rocks, and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who have put up with my stupid questions!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-RegInfo v1.6 is available. Executing an application is no longer limited to an icon. When an exe is defined, it will be launched when the text is clicked (with or without an icon linked to it), instead of displaying the item's source.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qkzoo:
RegInfo

That's great WMD, thank you! Any chance on being able to support passing along command line arguments with the exe? My idea is that MortScript can receive variables as command line arguments. I've discovered that in place of an exe a web address can be passed, but is either A) limited in the number of characters it can pass, or B) doesn't accept certain characters being passed along. For example, it lets me link to google.com, but not to google.com/t/blah?u=space.com (or whatever the correct mobile transcoder link is). I can rectify this easily using MortScript though.

Thanks again!

Hi,all

I try this app at the moment ,and feel it very good and usefull.Clear and feel like real AndroidOS..:), very good job, thanks.

And now few questions: i used it on omnia/i900/, and found few bugs, i think....like on this device dont work the right buttons with this app: camera,and uppe menu button. the sound buttons works.And i think couse omnia have 240x400 resolition,the menu showup is no so smoothely, and it stack a lot of times somewhere close to bottom.

And have few ideas, or expections for future versions, if i can tell sutch word :)...

Like is where solution or chois to implement this for newer Androkid??

1. Top Bar,like on AndroidOS, with slide down, appointments, events, alarm, sms,wifi,bt connections showup.

2. Sound buttons,up-down with more finger friendly and android unic graphic.

for now thats all :)..keep on..
