[About XDA developers] dkb218:
Spain is the only place in the world where the G1 is marketed as the HTC Dream. It's the Era G1 in Poland. Why call it the Dream?

For the life of me, I never understood why HTC's code names for devices prior to them becoming for sale, were uses here.

I say leave the names as they are now. I like the change. I don't own a HTC Rhodium, I own a Touch Pro 2!
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
The new site owner feels that most people (and particularly noobs) don't use the official HTC name but use the branded names. This leads to a fair amount of posting in the wrong phone section. In addition, when searching (Google say), people do not tend to search on the HTC name.

All Forums will gradually change.

This does not mean however that there may not be some errors eg HTC G1. I will report this.

Mike
[About XDA developers] JAguirre1231:
Thanks for clearing that up, but couldn't we use just the most common marketing name instead of 3 (As on he Kaiser) that would help with clutter.

(From idea by pjcforpres)
[About XDA developers] pjcforpres:
Thanks Mike for the quick response! I understand the idea and intentions behind it. It was just a major shock, especially since there was no warrning of the coming change in any of the G1 forums.

I took a closer look at some of the forums that have been converted and new ones that started off this way, and it seems like a good balnce. Seems the format is HTC CODENAM: COMMON NAME; ie HTC LEO: HD2 or HTC DREAM:G1 The Kaiser title seems pretty clustered to say the least.

The subforum titles seems to be the biggest change, though... maybe cary over the title, so in the G1 forums, for example, it isn't G1; G1 Q&A; rather something a bit softer, and longer(makes selecting it on a touchscreen easier) like bringing over the main forum name; ie HTC DREAM:G1 General; HTC DREAM:G1 Q&A; and so forth.
[About XDA developers] rahulelectra:
sorry no offence ..... but i ddint get the post....

are you suggesting to change the name of xda forum itself or what else...
[About XDA developers] farukb:
remove the damn G2 from hero!!!!

pleeaaase
[About XDA developers] fiktion:
I think it'll help new people out, as well as searches. I honestly didn't even notice the change, as I just scroll down until I see the picture of the phone that I want :p
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Hey all,

Appreciate the feedback on the name changes. It's impossible for us to please everyone, but most of the mods and devs seemed to agree with the changes to make sure people get to the right place on the site before they start posting. By far the biggest complaint the devs have generally with the site is noobs cluttering forums with dumb questions. Anything we can do to make searching easier will improve that situation.

It's not really all THAT bad, is it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
Wow, great! I'll definitely follow the development of this :).

I'm just working on some skins for iContact and iAgenda too! If you need some graphics just tell me, I'm willing to help.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thepolishguy:
exciting.

I will be following your progress. good luck... ...and may the force be with you- always.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] roma:
Nice one. Will follow this development. Thanks for the effort.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chris1486:
Does this work on a qvga device? if not can you please release a qvga version?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
It works on all resolutions.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Graphics help anyone?

I'm working on the code for being able to complete tasks on the main pages. In order to have it look nice, the icon for favorites (a star in the default theme), needs to be replaced with checkboxes (empty and checked). I did something preliminary, but it looks pretty bad.

So if someone wants to help that would be great. I've attached the default skin file.

If possible, it would be great if they would be transparent.

Also everyone skinning, should be aware of this, so they make the proper icons in the skin file.

Additionally, the settings icon is the same as for iContact. Anyone want to help me there? File attached.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
A preview of the default.png is attached, but it's automatically compressed so I attached a ZIP as well. Is the blue okay or do you want it in green?

I did not make new icons, perhaps later.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Thank you, it looks great! :) I'm not much for green, so blue or red is fine with me.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chris1486:
Thanks for the info.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
Here is the greek language for 0.4 version.

P.S

Where is the link for update Jan. 20, 2010 download?

In given links there is only 16 May 2009 version
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Thanks for the translation! I'll put it on the web page.

If you read the first post, it only says I've started working on it, there is no new version yet. I thought I might have a version out before the weekend, but realized a bug had been introduced in a revision I wasn't aware of until now, so it might take a little longer to get rid of it:(.

Otherwise the code for checking off items on the main page is partially ready.:)

However, I have a question: The list is filtered so that only incomplete items are shown, so when a task is checked complete, it immediately disappears from the list. Until I change the filtering code, would it be acceptable to have a message box (like currently) when you are asked to confirm completing? Or should I just wait with the release until I rewrite the filtering code, so that completed items will be seen on the list with a checkmark?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Izrun:
Awesome! Anyone know how to make this the default calendar application?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Thanks!:)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] lkachun9129:
I am looking forward to see a HTC Style Agenda app~~
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
I was just going to ask you to include exactly that :D. Anyway, I'd prefer if you release every minor version like nightlys (or weeklys or monthlys ;)), but only if that doesn't make too much work for you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Ok, I'll do that, but prepared for bugs!

New version uploaded.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
I have a problem with the previous an this new version too(I haven't use the program before) that makes quite difficult to use the program.

If I change the date from month screen to any other date exept the current, every single action takes at least a minute to complete, starting from taping on a date.

This behaviur stops only if I switch again to the current date.

Is this issue mentioned before?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
If you have a really big file with lots of recurring appointments and tasks, that can happen.

And that's why I'm working on accessing the pim.vol file directly which should speed things up.

In the meantime you can go to the settings program, under Show Next: 1 week, 2 weeks etc. Try and shorten the time and see if that helps. Please report back.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
No, I haven't any task or appointment. Only calendar events for name days. I have Show Next:1 week, but the problem still remains.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
Glad that development has been resumed so quickly. Awesome :).

It's a great idea to put the date on the agenda tab, but it'd be better if it was displayed in white (and not red). Further you should edit the default skin so the tab icons aren't moved a bit upwards when selected (I could do that for you if I get some time), because the date still remains on the same position.

Also, when I want to check a task as completed by tapping on the checkbox, it simply closes itself, at least on my Hermes with build 28008. With the new 6.5.3 emulator (build 23090) a message box correctly appears, but tapping on "Yes" does not take any effect. I just noticed, so I thought I'd report it ;).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ai6908:
Excellent work...thx...:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
I totally agree. Will change.

Yes, agree, and if you are willing to do so, that would be fabulous! Although now it's a lot better than the first version we had :rolleyes: I also noticed that iContact doesn't do the shift of the icons, and I don't know if it used to or if that was introduced in iAgenda.

Yes, thanks for reporting, although I wish it hadn't happened.

It works fine on my Tmobile Wing running 6.0.

When you click complete on the details screen, do you see the message box? It's the same code in both cases.

Also if you try to do a refresh by clicking the date, does the task disappear (marked complete)?

I'm just trying to figure out where it fails, if the messagebox is not showing, if it gets the response, but doesn't refresh etc.

Any ideas would be helpful. Also if anyone else has that problem, please let me know!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
I'm not sure I understand. You say you have calendar events. Isn't that like appointments? Or do you mean whole day events? Does it happen on the Agenda screen and/or the appointments screen?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
Yes, there are all day events. These events are taken from MS Outlook via activesync. I imported an xls file with all name days in outlook's calendar and they appear, after sync, in default wm calendar, and in every calendar application which takes events from poutlook.

For iAgenda these events appear both in agenda and appointments view.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Nice to see this is still being worked on. A long way to go I feel. But it has the making of a good appointment app. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
So you have the filter set to one week, then how many whole day events do you have for that week? And how big is your pim.vol file?

Maybe you can test the attached iAgenda106EDB file. Just unzip to the same folder where you have the iAgenda.exe file. This is not a full version, and the details screen is not working. It's just to test the speed. Let me know how it works.

Any suggestions on how to improve it?

I have attached a file without the messagebox. Could you test it? Just unzip to where you have the iAgenda.exe file. It should mark the task complete without asking. Let me know if that works.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
Using this edb file, in every date I tap, I get an error window: Error opening Appointments data, and after that, all (agenda, apppointments) screens are empty. I get this same error and if I tap on any of buttons for agenda and appointments.

The speed is okay though.

P.S

My pim.vol file is 2568KB
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
That's completely controlled by the skin, whoever made it (it looks good) :).

I tried the fixed version, but there appears to be no change :confused:.

Anyway, I made a new skin, see the attached preview. It's still being worked on, the icons still look ugly :p. For (W)QVGA use 96dpi, (W)VGA 192dpi, as usual ;).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
So, that's a pretty big file. As for the errors, this is a very early test, it used to work to get at least the main screen, but something must have happened. So I don't know if you can really test the speed, if it won't open the appointments. I guess you have to wait till I change the access to the pim.vol.:( Working hard on it.

So you are saying, that the tasks are not marked as completed? After you have refreshed the screen? But that it works when you're in the details screen? That is really strange. I don't know what to do - needs some further investigation.

Thanks :), I'll put them on the web page.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Ok, I recompiled. This one doesn't give me errors. Try it for speed. When you change the date, you might have to press the tab to refresh.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
The changing of pages is fast now, but the all day events doesn't show at all in Agenda view, takes a very long time to appear in appointment view, and appear only for the current date, not for any other.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
I know the Agenda view is not working, it's just for testing. However when you say changing pages is faster, what exactly do you mean? From tasks to appointments?

so no change in speed then? :( Have you tried other calendar replacements? Do they show fast in those?

As I said, you need to refresh the screen by clicking the appointment button again. It should show then. It does for me.

Thanks for testing it for me. Although I'm not sure about what to do with your long loading time, since it doesn't happen for me.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thepolishguy:
????

So if i want to use this- which cab should i download? Seen a few posted in the thread with a "Try this and let me know..." Should i use the cab in post #1?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
Well, this app is currently being developed and should be considered beta, so it's for testing only. Use the CAB from 1st post and post any bugs/suggestions you have :).

Yeah, take your time :). I have some more suggestions, I will post them later sometime.

BTW you should add "finger-friendly Calendar and Tasks" to the title ;).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
Before when I tap on a date other than current date in calendar view or push the left or right arrows in Agenda view to again change the date, the change of pages was very slow, until the events load. Now I can change fast screens by using the buttons or arrows, and only the events don't load.

I've try thumbcal, pcmcalendar, spb mobile, pointui home... No such problem in all these.

Yes the second time pushing needed to show the appointments and works fine with current date only.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Use the cab in post 1. I've used the program now for almost a year (in one version or the other), and it's working fine:). The cabs I post in #1, should be usable. The ones I post in later thread, are only for testing purpose, either for people having problems or to test a feature.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] okan22:
i don't know if someone already say this :

for me the problem is that there isn't the possibility to start in the 'month view' with also the days(sunday monday...) and the most important thing is that there is nothing that tell me what appointment i have in which day

example i know in wm calendar that the 24 of february i've an appointment and i know that because there is the blu spot(??)

hope what i write is correct and everyone can understand what i 'm trying to say
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Well, sort of, but that's ok :) A complete list of people's wishes can be found at http://sites.google.com/site/iappsdevteam/Home/todo-s/iagenda. The post they refer to is the old thread.

I don't understand what you mean here. On top of the calendar view there should be a row with the weekdays (sunday monday...). Is that now showing for you? Or do you mean that in the list of all appointments you want all days to show, whether there are appointments or not, or do you prefer weekday instead of today, tomorrow?

That is on the list for wishes. I'm not sure how easy it is to implement. But, using the program myself daily, I've realized it should be a priority.

Right now, though, I'm concentrating on making loading of the appointments and tasks faster. I think the tasks are ok, but there is a bug in Microsoft's library :mad: for recurring appointments without end date, and I'm trying to figure out the fastest way around that.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] okan22:
you are right i don't know

i reinstalled the application and now i've them !! don't know if i didn't see or maybe something was wrong in my installation

hope you implement that soon!! maybe i've got not much of appointment but in my phone (asus p552w) the loading it's not slow..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
New version see first post

Version 0.46 March 31,2010

Tried to speed it up. Would like to hear if that's working.

Tasks completed today will show with a check.

Program is no longer using caches for data, which means that every time it's opened, current data is used.

Recurring appointments: Will show yearly recurring appointments for the following year with the number of recurrences (mainly to see age for birthdays), and other recurring appointment for the next month.

The button for iContact, enters the settings menu. When exiting Settings, iAgenda will restart. I'm working on changing this, so that a restart is only necessary if anything changes.

Bugfix

New version uploaded
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
New version doesn't work for me, it starts, then the wait cursor appears and it closes itsel again. But anyway, great to see this being developed! I'll write about it when there's a working update :).

Also, I'll make new skins soon, though it may take some time.

EDIT: The bugfix still doesn't work for me.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kibertron:
Appeared small bug

Version 0.46 runs setting.exe instead of iContact.exe, when you press the corresponding button.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kibertron:
Appeared small bug

Version 0.462 runs setting.exe instead of iContact.exe, when you press the corresponding button.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
While you see the waitcursor, can you click on any of the other tabs?

So between the wait cursor and the closing, there are no error messages? Does it start to fill the list or is there nothing? Are you at 6.1 or 6.5 or?? I just reinstalled the cab and it works fine on mine (QVGA 6.1) so it's hard for me to try and debug:confused:.

However, if you're willing, could you help me debug? I've attached 3 versions in a zip file:

Appointments only (when you click on the task tab, it could be that you get the wait cursor again, try clicking another tab, and then go back)

Tasks only (when you click on the appointments tab, it could be that you get the wait cursor again, try clicking another tab, and then go back)

No tasks or appointments (since I've also changed something in the settings) However, this one seems to do what you're saying, wait cursor only.

If you could test and let me know, it would be easier to figure out what's going on.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
This is now by default as described in first post (however, the icon needs to be changed in the skin). The reason being, that if you want to change the sorting of the list (next on todo), it makes sense to have access to the settings menu from within the program.

Since another user had problems opening the program, do you mind telling me which version of the operating system you're running; Windows 5, 6.1, 6.5 and QVGA/WGA?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kibertron:
Sorry. I downloaded the update from another site and did not read the first post.

I have ASUS P535 QVGA with WinMo 6.0.

Your program works just fine. Easy and fast.

Thank you for your work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
I cannot click on any tabs, and all versions still close itself thereafter, without any error messages. Only with the tasks only EXE can I select the tasks tab and then it loads properly (marking items as complete works), but when switching to another tab it closes itself again.

Hope this was useful :).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Do you have a lot of recurring appointments?

Thanks for your response, but I already figured it out (I hope!).

I had forgotten about the array I used for the appointments, and that I needed to size it properly.

I posted the new cab in the first post. However, I'm a little worried about memory leaks. Please let me know if this version works for you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ncblondegardner:
Nice job on the app, been looking for a way to show all appointments at a glance :) I am running HTC Touch Pro 2 US Cellular stock rom, WM 6.5 and downloaded version 462 this morning and it works great!

There was only 1 real error that I received and that was when I attempted to edit an entry; diverted to a windows error screen.

I was wondering if you had thought to add a way to add the function of copying appointments? Also, any way to add the day of the week next to the date of the future appointment?

Again, thank you for this app; very useful for me:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Could you tell me what the error screen said? Also are you able to click on the subject line to get to the details (uses regular Outlook)?

Hadn't thought about that, but will probably be done when I get the edit screen done.

Good idea! Should the date be before or after the day of week?

Sorry for all the different versions posted today. I'm having some issues with the appointment code, and since I don't have that many appointments myself, I haven't been able to test it thoroughly. I'll add some dummy appointments so I can do some more testing this weekend.

Thanks for the kind words.:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] reg31:
Hi,

Here is my French translation file for iAgenda.

Further corrections could be made but it seems ok for now.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ncblondegardner:
Sorry about the reply without quotes, for some reason have had issues with that here.

Anyway, the answer to the error message question:

The error screen was the standard Microsoft error - asking if I wanted to send the info to Microsoft. When it would appear, I would click the "don't send" button and the window would close however, it continued to pop back up. I then clicked on the "don't ask again" button. Ever since doing that, I can click on the "Edit" button and the Outlook window opens and I am able to edit all info with no errors.

The answer to "Should the date be before or after the day of week?":

Which ever way is easiest, but maybe the date should show first.

Thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ncblondegardner:
I have another small issue I've discovered, when scrolling the screen from the right side the appointments do not scroll in any order, they jump from 1 month to the next and then back again. When scrolling from the left side of the screen everything works perfectly.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Thanks :), added to https://sites.google.com/site/iappsdevteam/Home/applications/iagenda/languages

I've never gotten that message on my phone. Or was it on an emulator?

I'm not quite sure what to do about it.

Wow, I never noticed that before! It might take some time figuring out, since I'm not sure if that's the iAgenda added code or the original iContact code.

New version with bug fixes in first post. However, I'm still having issues with recurring appointments, and need to do further tests before I can get a fix out.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
Sorry I didn't report earlier, but the 0.465 update still doesn't work for me. And no, I guess I have even less appointments than you ;).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
Well, I'm not sure what to say, no-one else has reported anything similar:(.

If you would like to help figure out the problem, I've included a version with lots of debugging messages. I have a feeling it's something to do with the appointments, since I changed the way it's handled (to accommodate multi-day, recurring and grouping per category (eventually)). I'll probably also use the same code for tasks, but won't do that until I know the appointments work for everyone.

If you could let me know the messages as they show, that might help narrowing things down.

EDIT: File removed, I've found the line that causes the problem.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
New version, new features see post 1.

Also removed all older versions, to avoid confusions.
