Thank you! :)

I finally got the transparency working. At first, it would crash Androkkid, and I finally realized that it was out of memory, because it wouldn't even load the page with all the widgets that comes up when you click add widget.

I've also noticed before that the widget dll's seem to be loaded into memory when Androkkid is started (meaning if I want to install a newer version of a widget, I have to go out of Androkkid first).

As you probably have realized, I don't know much about memory usage, but it seems to me, that it would be better to only load the widget dll's when you actually use them?

Screenshot: Androkkid Hero Theme + Analog Clock widget on T-Mobile Wing

Simo -- I am really psyched about how fast you've made this app ... and i can't wait to see more widgets.

What I would love is if someone could make a date widget that is transparent and could fit in the space under my analog clock, in this format (American date style):

Sat. OCT 17 .09

with white type -- or configurable color, which would be even greater.

Great Idea For SImo

Great app, first off!!! I have created contact icons that are wide and short, easy to push. I have then dedicated a page to contacts. Because of the size of the icons I can't fit to many on that page.

My idea is this, could you make it so that each page can also be scrolled down and then back up. As smooth as the page currently scroll from left to right, only not an entire vertical pages worth. Only have the page move vertically as much as the thumb movment dictates. Then scanning to another page left to right would then cause the previously viewed page back to its "home locataction" (back to the top) Please find the attached photos as a mapping for this idea

I think this idea would be verry usful to many users in different sinarios.Thankyou verry much for taking the time to review my idea. I do hope you like it, please let me know what you think. Whats more. I currently have no money to donate at this time. Though I will make a donation when I can. I hope my idea proves to be a donation for now!!

Great work on the App! I love it. Keep up the great work!!

All dll's in widget folder listed as widget

Hi ssj5trunks,

for my wifi widget I use some external dll's. When now open the Add Widget dialog, all dll's will be listed as widgets.

I tried to merge my widget dll with those external ones using ILMerge - but seems not to work.

For upcoming releases: can you add a hint to let you determine, a dll contains a widget or not. (like deriving custom widget from a base class/interface - or a attribute to our widget class?)

Lounge, i know you have your own idea in mind. I just suggest you check out the very lean, clean & fast app called AVATAR , written by supbro, who's done great things with iCOntact and iDialer.

Thanks quicksite, but my idea for Simo is not just as related to my contacts situation... I just think it is a pretty trick idea. I would use this vertical scroll feature on just about every one of my androkkid pages. Also all I need is androkkid, this app is it, top 'o the heap!

Samsung Omnia

It seems to me a great very promising application and. Easy to use and thought very well.

There am it been trying with my Samsung Omnia and I have not obtained that it worked to me correctly: I never install if it in the memory card it works, and I install if it in the memory of the device sometimes works but usually it fails in some process, without being able to use it with normality.

I do not know if it is predicted that it only works for devices HTC, but on the contrary I offer myself to realise tests and to specify the failures more in detail.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
Hi ssj5trunks how is the development of folders going please?

I'm hoping my interpretation of this would be that you can add a folder to a page which in turn will contain a number of shortcuts.

It would be nice to be able to group together all setings shortcuts similar to the standard interface by sub catagories.

what would be even better is when you slide up the page if the buttons either side could be used to bring up either customisable link pages or the phone settings themselves

thanks again, i have now found i can nearly live without spb mobile shell.

looking forward to the next release and making a donation:D

Battery Widget

Hi Simo,

I've noticed the Battery Widget, when connected to a charging source, takes over 1 minute for the green 'fill' to to complete its cycle, so an instant glance gives the impression that the green 'fill' represents the actual charge capacity. Is it possible to speed that up to say 15 seconds in the next release, so that it is clear that it represents only the fact that the battery is being charged? Also as mentioned in a previous post, could the legend be changed from 'In charging' to just 'Charging'.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrfett79:
Sorry if this had been covered before. I did dearch and didn't see this addressed. I have a Sprint Touch Pro and when I have this running without minimizing the battery drains very fast. I was looking to use this as an alternative to Touchflo3d but not if the battery life is going to be so bad. I did notoce that the battery lasted longer if Androikkid is minimized and not "active" all the time. Is there any way to work on battery consumption?

Thanks and keep up the awsome work.

'Parameters' field

Some feedback for you Simo:

I have not been able to get the 'Parameters' field to forward more than 1 command line argument at a time, is this a bug?

e.g. in a 'Mail' shortcut, if I use:

-service "SMS" -open "Inbox"

only the 'service' argument gets implemented and not the 'open' argument

If I make a .lnk shortcut containing both arguments, it forwards both.

i think this is what your asking for .....

what you need to do is paste the following into a notepad

20#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -open "inbox"

save it as sms.lnk or whatever you want and then drop onto your phone,

use the right hand button to add a new shortcut and browse for you link

once this is on the desktop drag it to the bottom bar and edit it to read

name : sms

type : sms

then ok

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
Just starting with Androkkid and it looks great. Long time rlToday user with an ancient Wizard/8125. Performance is pretty good (first out of all the other animated GUI tools I've tried). Some ideas/questions...

-can I hide the bottom "buttons" I'd rather just long press the background to get the menu which also has "add..." sub-menu

-can I change the directory that the slide up launcher uses? I have tons of stuff in my start menu, prefer just a smaller list of programs/icons rather than pages of games

-are widgets configurable? I'd like to change a font size on some (clock). I'd like to turn the text off on others (signal strength, battery)

-is there an option to make a widget show on all pages? I'd like the clock or a "topbar" widget to always show

-can androkkid be made to show as the "desktop". so when i bring another app like messaging up, the androkkid still shows in the "top bar" area. I have done this on rltoday to tweak how my "top bar" looks when using other apps.

-anyone have a nice set of matching icons? most of the default wm5 icons are very Windows3-ish

-widget idea: registry text box widget - bring in text from a registry entry. Would be nice to support line wrap, line feeds, maybe even bold characters, background image/frame

Shortcuts to secure websites

Hi Simo,

A further 'observation' for you. I'm not sure whether this is a 'bug' in Androkkid or a 'feature' of Windows Mobile 6.1, but if I make a shortcut to a secure website (https), such as is needed for gmail (Google mail) using a 'Link to webpage' shortcut, when I switch Androkkid off and then back on again, the shortcut has disappeared. A workaround I have found is to save the secure website address as a 'favorite', and then use a standard shortcut to that favorite.

Firstly fantastic, well done. Suit's me way better than TF3D and/or win 6.1. Can navigate my device, contacts, calender apps everything much faster. One major showstopper for me though is the power drain. I can't understand why but even with nothing running (well no apps anyway) the battery is dying twice as fast as it use to without Androkkid. My better half has the same phone and at moment it's still running TF3D. With both phones on but in standby (blank screen) after 3hrs her phone has lost 1 bar in the settings power page whereas mine is down to 50%! Any ideas? Oh and when is the next version so that I can use the calendar widget without the overlapping text and the first of the recurrent appointments always showing?

You must be very busy with everybody's wish lists! Once again great job.

I just like to have the programs I actually USE there and it looks a lot nicer. there are things in my start menu that I don't really need listed in my All Programs (like diamondconfig, activesync, CHome editor, etc...) and if I let my girlfriend use my phone she gets all confused as to what program does what and where things are, it looks cluttered. This way I wouldn't have to have 2 pages of my own programs, I could use the pages for widgets and just pull up the Programs tab to get to the programs I actually want listed like my apps and games only. I think it would make it really awesome.

I originally started using Androkkid .060 & .080 on my Treo Pro, SQVGA, 320x320, using RealVGA to set the screen at 96dpi instead of 128dpi. I just switched to a Tilt2 (AT&T's GSM version of the Touch Pro 2), which is 480x800, WVGA. Androkkid now crashes at the first shortcut tap or attempt to switch pages. I had moved my storage card from one phone to the other, so I reinstalled in the same folder, figuring Androkkid would retain my settings, etc. It crashed as described above. I then uninstalled Androkkid, manually deleted the folder, then reinstalled. No change -- still crashing. I'd really like to continue using it on my new phone. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Install in phone memory and not in a memory card.

Try this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Just did. Installed to phone, started Androkkid, changed theme to Hero, changed number of pages to 7, start page on 1st page, saved settings. When Androkkid came back up, I installed the Hero Clock widget, then I started to install Goraps weather widget, at which point I got a fatal error message & quit Androkkid. I tried restarting it, but got the same fatal error message. I then did a soft reset, started Androkkid, I at least got the animated splash screen, but before anything else happened, I got the same fatal error message.

When I was running Androkkid on my Treo Pro, it was installed on my storage card & running under WM 6.1. On the Tilt2, it crashes whether it's on the phone or the storage card & the Tilt2 rins WM 6.5. So, is there maybe some difference in WM 6.5 that needs to be adjusted for in Androkkid or the widgets?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
I think there is a problem with Goraps widget.

The ways are 2:

1) remove Settings.ini in Androkkid folder

2) edit Settings.ini and remove the row of Icons where is Goraps Wheather widget.

Now that I have it working on the Tilt2, I can add that the original size is right for WVGA.

A variation to accomodate those of us whose eyesight isn't what it used to be would be greatly appreciated. :)

A bug

I have been using Androkkid for a day, so I'm a fresh user

ss5jtrunks already helped me with call menu (disabled now),but by using it over the day I have seen it crashing many times.

I've looked at the thread, and I've seen it reported already, but here is what I've seen anyway :

- as long as I use Androkkid without stopping, there is no problem

- when I leave my phone long enough to go to eco mode (screen switches off), when I go back, at the moment I touch the screen, Androkkid crashes

- when this happens with Androkkid in full screen, nothing happens anymore, touching screen just creates "bips", but no actions

- when this happens when task bar is shown, then at least phone stays usable and I even can restart Androkkid

I'm using a Glofiish x610, my phone locks itself automatically after some time, switching screen off, and I have to press a hard key to get screen back on, after I do that, next time I touches screen with Androkkid on it crashes

And I've tried this by installing Androkkid on SD or on internal memory, same results

Too bad a bug, if it was stable then I would have elected Androkkid best WinMo software ever

I'll stay tuned for more releases

New Icons

I'm developing a series of icons meant to cover a lot of areas and apps. They should not have any issues with transparancy. In fact the whole idea is that you should be able to see the nice Androkkid wallpaper through the icons. I've used the app Capsure to make screenshots. Unfortunately the screenshots appear more pixelated than they are on my phone. I do not use the "magic pink" to make them transparent.

I have to use layers and a method I think of as scrubbing to make them completely transparent and it takes a long time. But I'm sending some screenshots to see if I can get response.

I plan to publish them in 128x128, 96x96, 64x64 and 48x48 (free ofcourse)

Any ideas as to how I can be aware of missed reminders?

Is there a counter similar to the ones for missed call's etc that I could attach to a shortcut/icon to show how many reminders are unacknowleged (ie not clicked dismiss yet). I know the led flashes but it could be charging.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Found a couple of interesting bugs (or at least changes in behavior) moving from The Treo Pro & WM 6.1 to the Tilt 2 & WM 6.5.

Androkkid seems to be more possessive on my new phone. On the Treo Pro with WM 6.1 clicking the "X" on the taskbar would close Androkkid. On the Tilt 2 with WM 6.5, that gets Androkkid to start closing, then pop back up again (no restart or splash screen). No matter how many times I click the "X", that continues to happen, Using "Exit" on the Androkkid menu is the only way to fully shut it down.

With the taskbar showing, WM 6.1 would allow me to access the start menu by tapping the "Start" on the taskbar. On the Tilt 2, the start menu begins to open, then Androkkid takes over the screen again. I'm suspecting that the start menu is really open, but hidden by Androkkid. I get the same behavior using the "windows" hardware button. It almost seems like it's the same issue as above.

One bug that hasn't changed with phones & WM versions is the one that kills the "windows" hardware button when Androkkid is fullscreen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] propagandax:
