Can't use fewidgets at all now with my omnia

The screens get all jumbled up when I rotate (in full screen mode) to the point where I have to power cycle my phone. Tried turning off muli thread and the redraw option- no effect - still messes up. Sorry to say that this seems worse that the previous version....:-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
What do you mean by jumbled up? Could you post (or send me) a screenshot before and after the rotation?

I'm sorry but that seemes to be the time it takes the app to unload all the widgets on your current page, and load the ones on your other page. I'll see if I can implement something better for rotation (like caching) but it'll be (if implemented) on a future version :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ABAndi:
Question again

Beside these little Problems GREAT WORK!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Hi, I had missed the last comment when reading yesterday, I'll see what's wrong with the bar when using the QVGA cab on a WVGA device :)

BTW I've fixed the script error for the new version, but since I've performed some heavy changes internally it might take some time until I release the new version. I'm attaching the script file for the clock so you can fix it until I release it. You have to unzip the file and place the .js file (.vga.js if you are using the VGA/WVGA version) on the scripts directory.

thanks nico to put this option in FEWidgets but how can i configure the bluetooth widget to make the device discoverable when turned on by the widget

there is no option in settings??

the FEWidgets needs 2 more widget to become Ultimate

1)screen lock widget

2)shutdown-restart widget
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Oops, on 1.0b8 I forgot to add the configuration line on widgets.xml for the widget :p I've fixed it for the new version though.

I'll see If I can find a way to do those things, but I really don't have a clue on how to perform a screen lock or turn off / reset the device from C++ so it might take a while.. besides I'm trying to stabilize the app first :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
Everytime I change my orientation to landscape, my screen hangs for 5-10 seconds, and the top bar disappears.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Windows top bar or the widgets bar?

EDIT: Are you using fullscreen mode?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
Windows top bar, and yes.

Although other than this problem, full screen works fine for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
But the windows top bar is supposed to be hidden.. or you mean it dissapears while on another application?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
yep, that's what I meant. I was about to edit my post and put that in, but you replied before I could do it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tuscolavol:
With the script fix, everything is working great in portrait mode for me.

Icing on the cake if I could lock the screen with a widget.

I've only been using portrait mode (Touch Pro).

I want to configure landscape now but I have a problem. I'll try to explain. When I opened landscape mode, the first window, first page (0/0) was there looking just like the portrait screen. Of course the widgets needed to be moved around to fit but the phone, text and email widgets were off the first screen. They are at the bottom of the screen in portrait mode. I scrolled down to find them but they aren't anywhere to be seen on the first (I get your terminology mixed up) window? (0/0,1,2,3 vertical scrolling) They're not in the widget bar either. They are in the widget bar on the second window.

Again, I'm super-impressed with the support. Thanks!

I've not even looked at Titanium or TF3D since I've found FEWidgets.

I hope some of the great "themers" on this forum catch on to it and give us some eye-candy options.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
When switching from portrait to landscape the portrait widgets should not be there :( it seemes to be a problem with rotation...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Well, thanks for reporting the bug, I've already found it and will be fixed on the new version :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acdata:
there is bug in weather widget in version 1.0b9 it give me the error that I attached it in pic below it said could not load images/weather/3200.vga.png

I renamed 32.vga.png to 3200.vga.png and the error fixed but i don't know is that the true weather picture that widget load?

but sometimes work with out any problem.

and the wind speed always show 0kph E when i checked yahoo weather site at the same time i found this info

Today: Abundant sunshine. Hot. High 99F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. it means wind speed between 5 to 10 and widget shows 0

this my rss url:http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=IRXX0015&u=c

Short cuts widgets problems

My setup: Omnia i910(Verizon)/Fullscreen/

Portrait mode:

If I drag the program shortcut widget onto the 0/0 screen and click on the + then select a program it works fine.

Rotate to Landscape mode:

Drag the program shortcut widget onto the 0/0 screen - does not show + but is alrady defined with the program from the Portrait mode. If I change it to the program I want, then rotate back to portrait mode, the shortcut in portrait mode is now linked to the same program as the landscape mode.

Is there a workaround for this ?

Also noticed that if you create a shortcut to a .lnk and it cannot pull out the icon graphic it always shows the text - even if you have the show text disabled.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I probably misstyped something on the weather widget, I'll check it tonight, thanks for reporting it!

There is no workaround, it's a bug :( I'll fix it tonight and include the fix on the new version, thanks for reporting it :)

The text is placed whenever it can't find an image, ignoring the configuration setting. That setting tells the widget to show the name even when there's an image.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaskITA:
Many thanks for tour great work!!!

I'm trying it on my Trinity P3600 WM6.1. It seems work fine, also with 64MB of RAM, but while configuring it, without any apparent reason, I'm not longer able to open the "Application Configuration" menu. All others menu open, I tried to double click, triple click, move the pen over the menu, but it still not open...

I have to uninstall the application, delete the folder, and so the configuration panel will be opened again. But it's the second time I have to re-configuring all... :(

Have you got any advice for me?

Thank you another time, I am very hopefull to use your application instead the htc home, if ram consumption will allow me...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
If the menu stops working again, please copy the FEWidgets.ini file on AppData\NDG\FEWidgets and send it to me on a PM.. it never happened to me but it might be an option I've never set..

It could also be you are running out of memory and the config dll cannot be loaded.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaskITA:
Thank you, in that case i'll send it, but i hope not! ;)

Unfortunately I had a ROM without a "RAM meter", so i can't say if it caused by not many ram... I've just changed ROM, and now i can see also ram consumption. I'll write if it was determined by memory.

Thank you again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramrod:
Hi.

I would like to try your plugin, on a charmer wm6.5 (from cyberdel build 23041), but I cannot launch it.

error messeges pop up "FWPhoneProvider.dll not found".

i can´t found	"cmd_providers.xml", i have searched everywhere.

thank you for your answer.

Have a nice day!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tomygunner:
You say it supports Multiple Layouts/Pages (up to 4). But where can i change to page 2 ... 3 or 4? I don't see any widget to do that. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
The name of the xml file is providers.xml and is located on the providers folder.

Sweep your finger on an empty area of the screen veertically or horizontally and it'll change the windows/pages.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
When i swipe horizontally to go to another page, it takes around 10 seconds to load the new page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Swapping pages takes a long time because widgets must be loaded and unloaded.. you can sweep vertically to change windows. That will be faster because they are cached.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramrod:
Hi.

i have delete the 3 entry in the provider.xml

the plugin started with no errors, but i have a white screen, with original topbar and softkeys.

in taskmgr shows a FEWU.exe with 527kb.

have a nice day.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DeathsArrow:
What about just caching all the pages/windows so the page/window changes are quick across the board?

Or the ability to change the page/window function so that horizontal sweeps will change windows versus pages?

I find vertical sweeps to be a lot hard to perform than a horizontal sweep.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
On the new version I'll probably change windows to horizontal sweepes.. I've been thinking of that too.

As for caching everything, I don't think it's a good idea because of the 32MB boundary for a process on WM.. caching everything would take a lot of space.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
New version (1.0b10) is up.

IMPORTANT:

- If you've modified the scripting side of any widget, either disable the Fast Orientation Change option, or modify the new scripts, because now widget initialization must be performed on the onWidgetLoad event for the cache to work properly.

- Now sweeping horizontally is cached insted of vertically. Meaning if you had setup a window you'll now have to sweep horizontally to get it, instead of vertically.

- If your device doesn't have too much RAM or the app behaves strangely try disabling the "Fast Orientation Change" option and soft resetting the device.

FEWidgets Ultimate 1.0b10

- [Fixed] Script error en Analog Clock when changing hours.

- [Fixed] Items where not removed from snapper when changing orientation.

- [Fixed] When switching to landscape for the first time, Portrait mode layout is copied as the landscape one.

- [Fixed] When switching between landscape and portrait on fullscreen when another application is focused the Task bar dissapears.

- [Fixed] Shortcut widgets setup on portrait mode might collide with the ones created on landscape. (you'll have to recreate the shortcuts if you have this problem)

- [Fixed] When Yahoo! Weather reports a "not available" weather condition image (code 3200) a script error will be displayed.

- [Fixed] When wind speed is a decimal number, 0 will be displayed instead on the Weather Widget.

- [Fixed] Wind direction is wrong on the Weather Widget.

- [Fixed] When a Widget is on a layout but not on the new layout and the icon is at the end of the bar, when switching the bar won't adjust properly.

- [New] You can now set the units for degrees on the Weather widget.

- [Changed] Now windows are switched by sweeping horizontally and pages vertically.

- [Changed] Now switching windows is circular (as with pages).

- [Internal] Changed the behavior of hidden widgets (like SMS).

- [New] Now There is an option (Fast Orientation Change, enabled by default) to cache widgets on portrait and landscape to make rotation smoother. This will consume more memory since all the landscape widgets (on all windows of the current page) will be cached when in portrait mode.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acdata:
Hi nico you always done wonderful job

just one small question did you put promis feature in this new version of software to make device visible when turn on bluetooth with bluetooth widget
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
Thanks. On my Omnia i900 I could install the app. I could scroll the left bar with sound ONCE. Then it go stuck. I can swipe the bar but it doesn't move. I only hear the sound. I can close the bar. I cannot move the widgets.

GREAT! solve the problem just now by switching off the today plugins.

Ok. I am ready to play with it now :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
It should be there on the configuration panel for the widget now.. I just forgot to put the fix on the changelog :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acdata:
nico it didn't work:( when i turn on blue tooth with blue tooth widget the blue tooth become discoverable only for less than second then automatically the device discovery become off and only the blue tooth stay on
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ABAndi:
QVGA on 600*800

Now the taskbar is on the side, when i install FE Widgets QVGA on a PPC with 600*800.

Nice work. More Feedback in a few days.

Thank You!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
That's weird.. I'm using the same function the developer of the app you had pointed out is using.. did you try that application?

Glad to hear it's working, I couldn't recall if I had checked it :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DeathsArrow:
Thanks for listening to my suggestion, I'm looking forward to trying the new version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] °Dexter°:
Sorry for dumb question,but...where can i find a "setting" widget?something that leads to normal setting winmobile page (personal,system,connections)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
There's not a widget like that sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acdata:
yes i m using that app(bluetooth toggle) and work well on my xperia but when i touch blue tooth widget the blue tooth discoverable icon appear just a moment then automatically become off and only blue tooth is on same thing happen when turn off blue tooth with widget:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Please decompress the zip file attached on this post, and drop the .js (.vga.js if you installed the VGA version) on your scripts directory. Let me know if it works properly now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acdata:
no it doesn't work i put bt.vga.js in scripts directory then soft reset but noting change :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
You did enable the option on the settings right? And tried turning it off and on?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acdata:
yes i did all of that enable the option on. And tried turning it off and on but the bluetooth didn't toggle to discoverable just become on .only in a moment become discoverable and after that automatically toggle to bluetooth on mode
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I guess I'll have to test it a little more then.. when I get some time I'll try to test it on my omnia 2 and see how it goes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
Is this working for anyone with MightyRom6? It keeps on saying the installation was unsuccessful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tuscolavol:
Yea, I've been running MM6 for a couple of months now. No problems except as noted in this thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tuscolavol:
I downloaded the update and ended up uninstalling it and the program file. Not much was working and I was still having problems with missing widgets in landscape. After reinstalling, things were much better. Just one problem...

When switching from portrait to landscape everything is good. Real snappy (3 - 5 sec). But switching back to portrait is pretty buggy. Some times when I go back to portrait, it lags for maybe 8 - 10 seconds. Could it be that I don't have but a few widgets on screen in landscape? All of this is no biggie.

But if I switch from poratrait to landscape a second time (no problems) then back to portrait, it almost always locks up with a blank screen and I have to soft reset.

Getting real close!!! Keep up the great work!!

Just tried it again before posting and it took 3 times of switching back and forth before locking. And it's not the phone locking up because all the soft keys work. Just the widget screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
could you send me your layouts, the icons folder and FEWidgets.ini on AppData\NDG\FEWidgetsUltimate? (not the icons on images folder, the one on the app folder)

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tuscolavol:
Here you go. By the way, if i was supposed to delete that AppData folder to get a fresh restart, I didn't. Didn't know it was there. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DeathsArrow:
I have noticed with the new build that I can't access the "Application Configuration" options in the widget configuration menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
I am having the same problem with the latest EnergyROM as well
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I've noticed you have disabled the Fast Orientation Change, did you disable it to check if it was causing the problem, or the problem arises with it disabled?

It must be a memory issue.. I'll see if I can load the configurator dll at startup.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jrodizzkool01:
Heres a little bit of Sense. Will release soon:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cero92:
Looks very nice :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Version 1.0b10.1 is up.

FEWidgets Ultimate 1.0b10.1

- [Fixed] When using the new Fast Orientation Change option, the application will crash (i.e. it will stop responding properly). This was a really tough one :)

- [Fixed] Lists used the system wide window color instead of a custom color. If the color whas black, text would not be visible.

- [Fixed] Error messages on CommandProvider or PhoneProvider would generate an exception when multithreaded commands are on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
I guess it is not just a 6.5 issue, the same thing is happening in MightyRom4, which uses 6.1.

Edit: Nevermind, the update fixed it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Very nice today replacement and it works great.

Have not been able to set my Yahoo weather or RSS feeds but I will read this thread in detail to find my answers.

Great works and it runs very fast, smooth and takes very low memory.

Two Thumbs way up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
now I have a problem with fullscreen. whenever I enable it, my phone goes crazy. It will open up activesync and my phone will crash.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I really don't know what might cause that.. I don't use active synch, and I didn't change anything on the fullscreen code on this version.

Anyone else has this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
I dont know if it is only activesync, I don't use it either. I think it is whatever program I opened last. So when I soft reset, activesync automatically opens up, so I guess that's why??? That's a complete guess.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leogal:
Also works with WM 6.0 + .Net Framework 3.5

:)Thanks, great works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
I know of at least one other person that tried full screen and it crashed their device.

Took them several SR to get to where they could even click the start menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
Ya, the only way I could fix it was to use activesync to delete the .ini file from the app data
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
And just to let you all know, this has happened to me in the 6.1 and 6.5 versions of MightyRom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I'll see If I can reproduce it. Does it happen as soon as you set fullscreen or after a soft reset?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
It is as soon as i set fullscreen. So, when I select FEWidgets Ultimate from the Today settings, and it is already configured, then the today settings will open. When I softreset, activesync opens.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I'm sorry, it must be I'm still sleepy but I don't quite get hoy the error happens, could you detail on list a way to reproduce it?

Like this:

- Install FEWidgets

- Set FEWidgets as a today plugin

- Open FEWidgets configuration and set fullscreen

- Save and close FEWidgets configuration

- ....

I need to reproduce it on the device emulator or my omna 2 and haven't been able to do that :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
- Install FEWidgets

- Set FEWidgets as a today plugin

- Open FEWidgets configuration and set fullscreen

- Save and close FEWidgets configuration

- Phone does one of the following:

when I softreset, it goes to activesync

when I enable fullscreen when I already have FEWidgets opened, it goes to the last opened program

To be able to use my phone again, I have to connect my phone to my computer with activesync and delete the .ini file in application data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
I may try it here and see what happens .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Took me forever tapping like a spaz just to open the config settings once I got the widgets config to open. LOL

Here is what happens on my device.

I set it to full screen and hit close.

I then reset device to find it doesn't keep the full screen settings.

Doesn't cause any problems but it doesn't go full screen.

I tried again to set to full screen and this time I just hit close and turned off the widget and went back to Titanium and also tried it again switching to TF3D.

Results were the same.

As soon as I go back into the widgets screen it did not keep the full screen settings.

On the bright side it doesn't crash anything or act weird.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
What ROM are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
EnergyROM Genesis 9/5 release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Did you tap "Save" at the bottom of the Application Settings panel containing the configurable items? If you don't it won't save the changes, and won't apply them..

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I'll check later today the custom image question, I probably missed something on the script.

When you drop widgets, memory consumption will raise, since new images are loaded. The Quick dial creates a new image and loads it for each contact you place. You might also see memory increases sometimes and then watch it decrease again because of the scripting system garbage collection. And sometimes it won't go down to the original size because containers are redimentioned to a bigger size.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
This is seriously cool. I'll check it out later tonight.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
I can't drag any of the widgets from the bar onto the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Did you happen to drop the lock widget? This prevents widgets from being moved or dropped.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flahn:
Hello,

seems to be cool!

But is it only for Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5 - not for WM 6?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
Any chance for ClearType text?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
sorry, no WM6.. it'll probably work on WM6 but the dlls it loads are huge (even though they are not used completely they must be mapped onto the process address space) and it does not leave much space on memory for the app. This is because of a limitation on WM5/6 devices of 32MB for a process virtual memory, which includes all loaded dlls. On WM6.1 and 6.5 this is somewhat fixed by allocating an aditional 64MB address space for big dlls.

When Qt supports it, I'll use it, but right now it's not supported by Qt for Windows CE sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ullmz469:
I'm having issues when adding shortcut widgets. When I try to access the windows directory, my phone freezes up. Also freezes after some soft resets.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
can you please post what the bug fix and tuning for 1.0b2 is please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Internal speed tunings, and fixed the stuff mentioned before on this thread. I've also set the contacts list to sort by name.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
version 1.0b2:

tap contact widget to add specific contact = hangs phone (ETEN DX900)

suggestions for widget:
