SMS not shown or counted

Hi,

I lately installed FEWidgets on my Samsung Omnia (i900). I am really impressed what is possible and what the tool can do. Nevertheless I have one important function that does not work. When I receive a SMS the widget does not count nor show the SMS text which is much more important. It is the same with my e-Mail. If I receive them they are not counted. I already tried to modify the XML/Script files, also found the entry but not the right path to change it to. Could somebody help in this case? is it possible to change the system so the text will be shown and they are correctly counted. Missed calls are shown but not the e-Mails and SMS. :confused:

Thank you for a hint.

Greetings from Germany

This app has so much more potential! I wish someone would pick up development or make some better themes/widgets
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hk148:
That's really great. My i8000's UI is similiar but it cannot add short-cut on it...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cocolocolo:
need help

fewidget is good but is there any way to put some shortcuts on the slide bar instead of this widgets like face book , resco explorer....etc and left the today screen clear:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zofox:
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

can anyone help me??

evrytime i start the program it says me : could not load images/app/widgetsbarbutton.left

so i can't see the widgets bar button :'(

ok I've solved the problem.... I decompressed the .cab file and used the image :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I'll check the contact widget tomorrow to see what might be happening.

You cannot change widgets size sorry.. you could try the QVGA/WQVA version if you've got a VGA device though they might be too small. The only whay to change the size is editing them.

a- It's the Simple Time widget that's using small fonts.

b- Weird.. the bottom bar should be forced out of the screen. Since fullscreen is basically a hack (I move windows out and increase my window size) it might be a problem with the specific version of WM6.5 you'r using.. I'll see what I can do but don't expect too much.

The programs folder it should open is not the system one, but a kinetic list showing the programs on that folder. I'll see if it's working on my omnia but it might be a problem with the files you've got there (cannot test for all possibile shortcuts :().

No, they can't.

Try deleting AppData\NDG\FEWidgetsUltimate.ini.

I'll check the code on my omnia and see what happens.

I'll check it tomorrow :)

Thanks a lot to everyone for your feedback.

Nico.

Job well done (Donation sent) and is working on my Fuze quite nicely... I skinned a few of the icons and this is what I have so far..

Will this work on WM 6.0 device QVGA?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corepda:
I would suggest author to let the background transparent to make it more fast, that would allow one to use back image w/o any memory issue. :) Great work all over.

Hey Chap nice skin, you seems to have great aesthetic sense. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fcukx3:

I installed b1 version of FEWidgets Ultimate in my xperia x1i but When I add the programs widget to the screen and tap on it my program folder will not open and the FEWidgets Ultimate hangs .what should i do? is there any way to make FEWidgets Ultimate as separate panel?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dragonballz:
hello, very good soft, it would be possible to put the shortcuts we create in the widget bar in the future?

the reception of my sms does not work on my diamond!

Excuse me for my English!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acdata:
FEWidgets Ultimate 1.0b2 has same problem too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
Thanks deleting that fixed the issue, it works great now. However, the simple time looks weird because it does not take up the whole box.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Just... wow. You really have skinning skills (yeap I don't hehe. Mi widgets look kinda old hehe). And thanks a lot for your donation :)

I'm trying to get it to slide smoother, but there is a thing with Qt which is preventing me from doing it. Qt only redraws at some points and it's making the animation look choppy, specially when you've got many widgets dropped.

Transsition between pages will probably always be slow, since it'll load the other page (left/right) widgets, but transsition on windows (up/down) should be smooth.

No, sorry, it's for WM6.1/6.5. It'll probably run on WM6 but the memory reserved by Qt dlls will probably render your device useless.

I cannot make the background transparent as far as I know (perhaps in a future I'll be able to) you cannot make it transparent on Qt, and since I'm using sort of a hack to get on the Today window it would probably be impossible.

I'm working on the program folder not opening problem, to see if I can fix it. And no, there's no way I can make it into a sepparate panel. (I don't even have an XPeria to try it on, only an omnia)

I don't think it'll be possible to place the shortcuts on the bar.. they have really different logic inside and it's ment for other purpose.

Glad it fixed the problem. The time widget has bad fonts on VGA, it'll be fixed on the new version. If you've got a non VGA (QVGA/WQVGA) device then the widget is just plain awful hehe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
Oh I see. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcjames:
Nice work!

Just wondering, i was able to change the Application Configuration once and now its not working at all, i tapped even double tapped the button but the settings didnt come out. Same goes with Install New Widgets. I dunno if im the only one who is experiencing this problem maybe because i use older ppc. Im using wizard with WM6.5.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
"Install new widgets" item has no panel, it's just a button. But I'll see if I can reproduce the "Application configuration" error..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] efla:
Hello, great application ! Congratulations :)

I've installed it onto my HTC Touch HD and got the following problem

1) The application configuration settings are not accessible

2) Apart the Enable/Disable or Uninstall, other widget configuration options are not displayed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raising_angel:
Great app here! Working flawlessy on my touch HD.

But...

I'd like to use inside MTP (MAnila Today Page) - using the widgets as one of the pages of MAnila itself... I configured the whole thing but is not working... The developer of MTP sais FE Widgets is not supported under MTP... Any clues???

I'd really love to have one of my manila pages full of widgets...

I'd like to know if in the future Fe Widget will be supported by MTP...

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I'm sorry but all I've tried the app on is the real today and second today. Since I don't have MTP and all testing is on an emulator, it would be really hard to test it since I would have to install manilla on it.. perhaps in a future I'll support it, but not likely.

**********************************************

I've uploaded 1.0b3 just now. It has some fixes over the previous version.

Changes:

- [Fixed] Directories on the Programs Window on VGA devices are smaller than Items.

- [Fixed] The Programs folder will not open.

- [Fixed] Contacts window will crash if there are no contacts on the device.

- [Fixed] Simple Time Widget has small fonts on VGA.

- [Added] Now sweeping the finger sideways on the SMS Info Widget will mark the message as read.

- Minor fixes here and there too.

thanks that's great job

is there any way to put option that allow us to cach 2 or 12 windows of FEWidgets in ram for fast and smooth Page switching?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acdata:
thanks the program folder now open in my xperia

can you put an option for caching 2 till 12 windows in ram for fast and smooth windows changing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pyrofool:
Non Phone device

First I just wanted to say thanks to nicodega , I used Fewidgets for flash and loved it. What I was wondering is if this works on non phone devices I have an Ipaq hx2000 series with wm 6.5 and when I try to load it up I get error that it cant load up .dlls like mainprovider. My guess would be it has to do with it not being a phone. Thanks again, the new version looks fantastic, I just hope it works on all devices and not just phones.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acdata:
there is bug in b3 version if you put shortcuts widget in one window an assign program with it then go to an other window and put shortcuts widget on that window sometimes

FEWidgets Ultimate doesn't put blank shortcuts widget on that window instead put shortcuts widget that assign with program that exist in other page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iPiqueT:
Is super fantastic!

Works on i780.

Just a litle slow but works very nice.

Say, any chance for widget snapping, SenseUI-style? I love widget-based interfaces but it irks me when they're always placed a few pixels off alignment.

Also, Qt 4.6 has support for ClearType, or at least, antialiased text on WinCE. Details and patch for 4.5 here: http://www.mail-archive.com/qt-wince-interest@trolltech.com/msg00292.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Hmm now that you mention it I realize why that happens.. I'll have to change Ids assignment for that kind of widgets.. the same will happen with the contact widget. Thanks for pointing it out!

I'll see if I can think of something like that.. right now only window switching is smooth and not page switching, because windows (sweeping your finger up and down) are already cached.

I'll see if I can implement something like snapping. As for Clear Type, I've already tried applying the patch and got it working, but it really looks plain awful on Qt. Font rendering is performed in an offscreen buffer and somehow when rendered the letters look like they where rendered small and resized.. so.. it's a no go for now.

FEWidgetUltimate is rockin'

Check this video out -- MobileMatt FEWUltimate Theme v1.0.0 http://bit.ly/NfTVq

Thanks again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
Thanks for looking into it before I did. :'D

The battery monitor throws an error when dragged back into the slider.

Also, since you released the source code, I'll see if I can improve the kinetic scrolling to make it resemble WM6.5's scrolling some more. However, I don't have VS, so I can't compile anything.

And please do look into snapping. I'm thinking either edge-snapping or enforcing certain dimensions for widgets, that are factors of standard screen dimensions. Neat widgets are win!

Another request: auto-fit the background when applied, preferably the same way WM does it. That way, unlocking from the WM lockscreen is smooth.

a small bug on the sms info widget: after a soft reset, if there is an incoming sms, the widget wont show. you have to drag it to the page again every soft reset.

Awesome today plugin :). Thanks a lot. Runs smooth on My Gene (64 MB RAM :eek:)

Weather Widget doesn't work for me. Doesn't open the config page.

Any workraound?

Also, the Widget layout is sometimes not saved :confused:

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I've fixed it for the new version, thanks for the heads up :)

Weird.. the script seemes to be fine. Could you send me your script\weather.vga.js?

No, you cant. The program is no longer flash based.

Not right now.

Fixed for next release, thanks for reporting it :)

Hmm does the "Application Configuration" panel show when you select the item and then tap it again?

About the layouts, if you change something and soft reset before 15 seconds the layout won't be updated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Nice :D (this is the first skin hehe, although I know oldsap has also modified the widgets ;))

*****************************************

New version 1.0b4... yeap, I didn't want to wait to release hehe.

Changes:

FEWidgets Ultimate 1.0b4

- [Fixed] Shortcut and contacts widget from different pages inherit the other pages content. (IMPORTANT: Shortcuts or contacts created before this path will still suffer this error untilthey are recreated)

- [Fixed] The battery monitor throws an error when dragged back into the slider.

- [Fixed] After a soft reset, if there is an incoming sms, the SMS widget wont show. you have to drag it to the page again every soft reset.

NOTE: You'll have to drop the widget again for the fix to work.

- [Fixed] The signal widget throws an error when removed: signal.js stop is not defined (line 4)

- [Fixed] Sometimes current layout number was not preserved.

- [Added] Widget snapping is now an option (enabled by default). It'll snap only when a widget is released.

and a question - how can I change the wallpaper? can I use system wallpaper instead?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tumblitech:
Place the image to Program Files\Images\Background directory (you should resize it to your screen size), after that you can choose your replaced pictures with the background changer widget.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
Awesome, snapping is now in. However, it doesn't work quite right, as most widgets snap at the wrong place, etc. Perhaps widgets should have snapping definitions, a bit like font kerning? That way, all widgets can be made to snap together nicely.

Also, snapping guides would be really fantastic. Like, lines that appear when a widget will snap.

Has the source code package been updated? I'll look into it and perhaps post a patch if I figure anything out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drboblj:

Thanks, 1.0b4 fixed a lot of my problems, however I still have an issue with full screen mode. There is a black bar on the top of the screen and things get cut off at the bottom of the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
The snapping implemented right now is to simple, and I've got to debug it. I'm going to add an optional snapping rect to te widgets. The problem with the guides is I would have to maintain an efficient structure in order to check while moving the widgets if there are any available widgets for snapping. Truth is I don't know much about that :(. I've notices you know C++, do you happen to know what structure is efficient? I almost implemented a red black based container (sort if an interval tree using 4 RB trees) but when I realized it was too much for a mobile device I didn't hehe. Perhaps a simpler structure will suffice, like using 6 areas on the screen or something right?

the code has not been updated because to upload it I have to clean it up and it takes time hehe. I'll see if I update it today.

Could you post a more detailed error? or perhaps a screenshot?

Sadly, as I sad before, fullscreen mode is kind of a hack. Apparently on your WM the bar on the bottom is either on another window thant the usual (usually it's on the desktop) or it's being moved back again by the OS. Since windows mobile does not implement window hooks I cannot detect that change if it happens after I moved it :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
Actually, I'm no real coder, but I have experience hacking all sorts of scripts to a certain degree of complexity. I have more experience with visual layouts than backend code though, as most of my experience comes from web development.

Let me know when you've updated the code and I'll look into it. Maybe I could get my hands on VS2008 while I'm at it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
I've got an idea for a structure to use and I'm working on it right now, I'll probably have something tomorrow :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
Hey sweet. Can't wait. I'd like to offer better quality graphics for this app. It has great potential and a fairly solid codebase, but the current graphical quality is just not up to par with commercial offerings.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
I know. Most people are oriented one way or the other. Which is exactly why you need a designer, like me? Don't count on me too much though. I appreciate good design, but I'm not totally great at it either. I'd love to create a new default theme and widget set for you though!

tested 1.0b4, now the sms info wont show the sms. and the sms counter wont show the number of unread sms :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
that's.. weird :S. Try this, drop the SMS widget, and remove it again droping it into the bar. Then drop the sms counter and let me know if it shows the number... perhaps the sms widget caused a silent exception and it blocked the event.

If it doesn't work please try removing all layouts xmls (from layouts folder) coping them to another location so you don't loose them, and then drop only the sms count and see if the number is displayed.

Let me knoe how it went :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
dragged sms widget to bar, dropped sms counter to page, unread sms doesn't show.

removed xml, dragged sms widget, now it shows the sms info.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
When the XML files where removed, you droped the SMS widget or the sms counter? (which one worked?)

If you also drop the other widget, does it still work?

If you soft reset the device, do they both work?

Sorry to make you test it this way, but I can get an idea of what might be happening and it's probably hard to reproduce :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
after removing my xml file, i dragged the sms widget and it worked. i also tried the sms counter and it also works.

after softreset, the sms widget still wont automatically show if i dont drag it to the page. and IF i do drag it to the page, the sms widget wont show the sms info again, the same with the sms counter :(

Problem with widgets on bottom

The app works well on my CDMA touch pro but ive been having a problem. When i change the widgets bar to be on the bottom of the screen, it cuts off about halfway almost as if the app expects my device to be wvga and is accomidating for it (Attached a screenshot). Is there a fix for it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicodega:
Well, bad news :(.. somehow I broke something on the code and don't know what it is, so I'm merging recent changes with an older version and that will take some time.. so for now no new releases for a few days :(
