Hmm weird, on the emulator it's working... try this dll attached instead and let me know.

EDIT: Now it should work.. I had zipped the wrong dll, sorry about that. I'll better go to sleep.

Battery life now is not an issue since Flash is no longer used. (0% CPU when idle)

Its good if we can add on more widgets like facebook icon or something

but wondering how to do it or such.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
now adding widgets work.

if i tap on the contacts widget, it takes a long time for it to read my contact list. and when it does show the list, it's not in alphabetical order, so it's difficult to find the particular person i want to add.

Thanks for all the hard work. it's only a minor glitch so no sweat :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Look on the first post for the Developers Manual. It explains how to create new widgets.

I'll see onto that later today :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
adding program shortcut widgets are fine. but somehow (although im not that sure) adding contacts widget increases the memory consumption.

also, everytime i reboot with a contact widget added, it asks me if i want to add a custom image or not :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WenWM:
Ya, this rocks, Its good, I need to make some widgets tho, Thanks for another great version, I have been using 31 for the past 3 months on my TP
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Would it be possible to have multiple pages/tabs? Can you add a customizable tab/scrollbar widget?

In my Samsung Omnia I use Today2 which has a tab with clock/date/alarm, sms/email/lost calls, another tab for contacts and another tab for comm and other settings (like flashlight and mouse).

I'd like (if possible) to make a similar today screen with this plus adding an application tab...

hi nico

Is it possible for you to make a widget (rather 3 widgets please) with a customizable exe ?

similar to MC Widget (Missed call)

possible to have more than 3 pages ?

problem when sliding to the right side (error program)

@ Matt : nice theme : you have used my tip for little battery and signal meters :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Nice theme :). I'll test the bug, but one question though: had it been more than 15 seconds since you dropped the widget and enabled/re-enabled or soft reseted? Could you attach me a zip file with the xml files in your layouts folder? (FEWidgetUltimate\layouts). Thanks!

It can be done, but I'm trying to stabilize current widgets right now and trying to get the engine working properly.. Though right now there are multiple pages/windows, so you can place widgets on another window and slide the finger up or down to switch them.

Three missed call widgets? You can already launch exes using the shortcut widget if that's what you want... Or I'm not getting what you want.

Could you attach your xml files from the layout folder?

Cheers,

Nico.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
no I donn't want 3 MC Widgets LOL , just 3 widgets similars to MC for customisation (to be able to choose a program in Configuration)

about error : seems it is not on 1.6 :)

seems I can't have more than 3 pages , is it true ? (can it be in configuration to have the number of pages)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
When reporting a bug, please try to use the latest version, because sometimes there are small changes inside the code I make whoch I won't put on the "Fixed" list because they are internal.

Why do you need widget's like those, if you can drop the shortcut widget as many times as you want to and select the app to launch?

I'll see if I can make the pages ammount configurable, I probably can.

EDIT: by pages you mean the ones you get sweeping left or right.. right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
by pages I want to say : sliding down

I'll try the shorcut widget , I thought you talked about Programs widgets , sorry

EDIT : Shorcut widget is what I needed , thank you nico
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I'm sorry but you can have more of those :(, because I would have to change lots of code.. and because that's what the left to right is ment to. You get 3 windows and 4 pages.. windows are fast to switch and pages are slower (because they are not already loaded like windows), but in the ende you get 12 screens for widgets already.

EDIT: Ok.. for v1.0b7 I've managed to make both Pages and Windows ammounts configurable.. but Windows ammount will be applied only after a soft reset. Keep in mind when a page is loaded, every window widgets are loaded. This means it'll take longer if you have many windows to switch pages (left <-> right) and it'll also consume more memory.

Pocket informant linked

Hi Nico,

Is it possible to link pocket informant for calendar, contacts and tasks instead of wm6.5 standard apps?

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Selecting contacts through an external application is not possible (since I cannot obtain the contact selected) however for 1.0b7 you'll be able to configure the Executable for Tasks, Appointments and Calendar.

Cheers,

how can i exactly change the background?

i converted my jpg image files to png and tried to apply them on the device but it just show me an error message!

of course no chance to apply jpg files :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
You must change it on the application configuration window, not on windows mobile settings.

EDIT: Anyone knows a free http host which provides a direct download link so I can use it to support AppToDate? All free hosts I've been using (megaupload, rapidshare, 4shared) requires the user to wait for 10 or more seconds to download and won't provide a direct dl link :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aladin6:
yes of course that i must change it on the apps configurator.

but no chance!

Perhaps i must change the resolution too :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Oh, sorry, I messed up. You have to place the image on images\backgrounds and use the Background changer Widget to change it. On the configuration settings youcan change the path from where images are read.

And the app supports jpg too.

the miscall counter widget in FEWidgets Ultimate 1.0b6 often dosent count missed call
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] komarak:
This is a GREAT Program !!!

I have a Verizon Omnia and this app sure beats the Samsung Widget interface !!!!

I a couple of minor issues:

1) When I rotate my Omnia the side bar with Widgets always opens up. Is this normal - or is there a way to keep this from happening. Opens when I rotate landscape to Portrate - and also when rotating portrate to landscape.

2) Is there a way to name or display the current view page - like have the ability to give each unique view page a name - like a title bar ?

3) I am not sure if the WiFi indicator widget is working properly. I would like to to be "grey" when WiFi is off, Red when Wifi is available, and green when connected to a wifi source. The way it works now it is pretty much always red (even when Wifi is off), and sometimes blinks green - becomes green for a few seconds when connected then turns red again - enen if connected.

4) The calendar will not bring up my Outlook calendar when I click on it.

5) Can you give a new icon to a shortcut ?

6) Need any help testing your app ??? I would be more than happy to help testing new versions.

How does the Operator widget work ?

I assume the black box is the Operator - how do you enter text or info into this field ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] komarak:
WiFi Control

OK - if I turn of the WiFi on my Omnia through the Widget - I cannot turn it back on through the Wireless Manager - only can turn it back on with the widget.. Looks like the widgets locks the WiFi control from the wireless manager.

Blue tooth works fine - on off via widget - and on/off via Wireless manager.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
That's weird.. are you sure you where on the same layout? the app will remember the last layout and it will load it when restarted.

I'm sorry but I'm using standard windows API for SMS and stuff on that library... what version of windows mobile are you running on the device?

Weird.. is enyone else experiencing this problem?

1- I'll check that, it's probably a bug.

2- No, there is not a way to do that, at leas for the moment.

3- WiFi indicator is bugged, it will be gray when off, green when on but not connected, blinking red when connecting and red qhen connected.

4- The calendar doesn't open the calendar when tapped, it will on 1.0b7.

5- You can but you have to enable the "Allow custom image" option on the Shortcut configuration and then create the shortcut. (it won't let you for shortcuts already created)

6- New versions are always published here for testing, after all the app is on beta state right now and your feedback is higly appreciated :)

No, there isn't. There will eb one for widgets though.

I'll see if I can, but as with any radio devices, on winmo the only way to turn them on/off is by powering them down, because implementation is specific for each device.

You don't, it will detect the operator automatically (but you cant change it). Right now the widget has a bug and upon soft reset it won't detect the operator name.

That's because as I mentioned before, turning on/off the radio devices is performed using a standard (non device dependant) method. In the WiFi case it's even harder and I've got to power it of/on in order to turn it on or off. Sadly, there is no other way to do it because there is no "standard way" for every device out there.

- [New] Now tapping (once) on the signal widget will turn the phone on/off. (might not work on some devices)

- working
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
1- If you don't drop widgets on windows RAM usage is nothing for each window.

2- :)

3- Just a change by which on custom widgets you can place an "about text" like "this widget was created by xxxx" and a button will show on the widget configuration panel which will show that text when tapped.

4- great.

Then it's weird that dll cant load... perhaps you are missing a dll referenced by it, because all it does is pretty standard WinMo stuff and the dll loads on other devices :(

It uses the phone.dll and cemapi.dll which should be on any phone device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] komarak:
Latest update fixed everything !!!!!

WOW - you are amazing !!! Everything that I had problems with is now working fine !!! Thank you for all of your hard work and thanks for adding the ability to turn off the phone with by tapping the singnal strength icon. One little request - any way to show the power status of the phone on the signal icon. Can't tell by the red x if the phone is off or no signal - could you make it have dark grey around the white x for power off (consistent with Bluetooth and wifi), and red around a white x for loss of signal ? Something like that to tell them apart.

The Wifi indication seems to be working - another possible suggestion there too. Grey for power off, red for no wifi network (consistent with red for no phone signal), yellow for networks available, blinking yellow for connecting, and green for connected. Green is usually an indication of something good or going - red kind of implies that something has stopped or is bad.

Every once in a while FEWidgets locks up going from 0/0 to 0/1 (switch window to right) or gives a script error - will try to capture the script error message next time it happens. When it locks up I have to go into the Today screen, uncheck FEWidgets - go out of the Today then go back into Today and check FEWidgets.

The tasks are working great now - any way to have the task title bar show the number of tasks i.e "Tasks (1 of 5)" that way you know how may you have to scroll through.

Set the Simple date format to dd/MM/yyyy but is still displays the date as MM/dd/yyyy in the simple date and the tasks - am I doing something wrong ?

Your program is the coolest addition to my WM phone that I have found on the Internet !!!!!! Thanks - KJK

I can confirm the script error when changing windows although I haven't been able replicate for a screen shot.

Also the Operator widget has gone blank (top of screenshot). I have tried to take it off the panel, reset...nothing.

But if neither one of these minor issues are fixed, I am extremely satisfied with this program.

EDIT: Well the Operator widget works now. Go figure?? It wasn't there for the last 12 hours or so but after taking the screenshot and posting this reply, it's back. LOL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blove:
Thanks nicodega, nice works! I like it but i have some problems on my HTC Touch Cruise:

- I setted FEWidget at FullScreen mode. It's ok. But after softreset or sometimes after refresh todayscreen, have a space at below widgetbar(widgetbar is not at bottommost), or topbar not be hidden.

- I'm using TaskManager ShowCase 1.0.1, but with FEWidget fullscreen then on any windows, i can't launch ShowCase, it only show for 1 second and be closed suddenly.

- Changing page to page is quitely slow, about 4-5 second,i think because loading objects in page is slow. could you increase this speed(ex: by caching)?

- About developing: i need to change text color in Text object in script but can't find any function for doing this. Could you tell me how?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rtandon87:
Just installed this on my Sprint Touch Pro. Working great!! Thank you so much for this awesome program.

Post removed per OP's request!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Kevin, I'm glad you like the application, since it's just a hobby app made on my spare time :), but I've invested lot's of time in it and really like it when someone finds it useful. About your suggestions and errors:

- I can make the signal widget differenciate between phone off and no signal. About the images, I'll leave the X as it is now, but not show it when the phone is on an you've got no signal, instead I'll show all bars in grey when there is no signal.

- I will invert the WiFi setting it to green when connected and red when not connected, but I don't think I'll add the yellow for connections available until I can find a way to do it.. right now it's a mess keeping the state as it is and adding a new state will probably be really time consuming.. though it coud be done by anyone with javascript knowledge.

- Someone had already told me the app hangs when switching pages sometimes, but I could not reproduce it yet :( If you get to capture a scrinshot of the script error it would be nice. Please attach on a post you layout xml files from the layouts folder, so I can know exactly what you've got on each page to try and reproduce the bug.

- I'll see about the tasks numbers.

- You've changed the date format correctly, have you tried changing pages to see if it changed the format then? I'll check it anyway as it's probably a bug.

That's not something I can really fix, since I try to get the icon through a windows function, if it fails to get it, it just won't show it. If you want I could see and try why, but you'd have to attach on a post the shortcut on the programs folder for the program which the icon is not retreived.

That's weird, it looks as if the application cannot open the registry key for the missed calls.. it should be able to.. I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Weird.. I get the operator from the registry and receive a notification when it changes.. it should be working properly now :( if it happens again, try switching the page (left or right) and back, see if the text comes back and let me know.

- Fullscreen mode as explained before is some kind of a hack which works by moving away the taskbar and the menu. If an external application (or your WinMo version) happens to change it again, it won't look nice. What do you mean by "refresh todayscreen"?

- I don't know what might be wrong between that app and FEWidgets since I never kill tasks.. what windows mobile version are you running?

- You can drop widgets instead of on the left or right pages, on the up/down windows.. those are always cached.

- there is no option for that on script, I'll see if I can add it on the new version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Did you add a due or start date to the task you created? Only tasks with duedate and start date are displayed.

I like the idea of people sharing their setups, (and it might sound bad when I ask for this) but could you open a new thread for that so it doesn't mix with the bug reports? it's really hard to follow every bug so far, I can't imagine how har it'll be if everyone is posting it's setups and discussing them here :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] komarak:
Great Setup !!!!

How did you get the black title and footer bar (with white text) ?

How did you get the "Calendar" and "Contacts" at the footer bar - my omnia defaults to "Phone" and "Main Menu". I don't mind the "Main Menu", but the "Phone" is redundant since there is a button about 1.5 cm away for the phone !!! Can this be change in WM 6.1 ?

Problem with Analog Clock

I think I have seen a problem (at least twice) with the analog clock. Looks like if the hour changes during the time the phone is locked - the hour hand does not update. i.e. if the the phone is locked at 3:53PM and stays locked until 4:30PM, the analog clock will show 3:30 instead of 4:30 when you unlock the phone. The hour hand does not update again until 5:00 then it is OK. Tried restarting the phone, changing the GMT offset, etc - still shows wrong hour.

Long Delay switching screens (horizontal)

Configuration problems

I'm running the latest version on a T-Mobile Wing.

Since I don't have enough room in main memory, I installed FEWidgets on the Storage Card.

However I'm unable to go into the configuration of the application or to install new widgets. Is that because it's on the storage card? I've also tried to manually change the configuration file, but it doesn't seem to work (if I'm doing it right??).

I also can't see the shortcut widget on the bar.

Problems with screen rotation

I installed the latest version posted and have lots of issues with screen rotation with omnia. I am NOT using full screen mode. When I rotate from portrait to landscape and back about 3 times the program locks up - does not do it all the time - may be related to also sliding new screen 0/0 -> 0/1 etc.
