Pretty Good iPhone Today Plugin

But

It's Seems Not Built for Hi-Resoulation Of HD2's LCD :-?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
What do you mean by that?. How doesn't it work for you?

J.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
AFAIK HD2 has the same resolution as Touch HD: WVGA aka 480x800px!?

If so: On my Touch HD it looks perfect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
If he couldn't figure out how to download the program, what's the chance he can make it work??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
:D *lol*

well, I just thought, if s/he thinks it is "pretty good" s/he'll actually tested it!? :o

schlork, Osprey00, or anyone that gets a warning when enabling the alpha blend option,

Could you try the attached version and let me know how it performs? A video comparing the two (attached vs. 1.4.9) would be great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
just for information...

the full aplha blend work when i did not install the graphic driver for HD... but when install it will be a little bit slow...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

That's a big improvement. It's still noticeably slower than leaving "Alpha blend on background" disabled, but much faster than previous versions. I'd say that you cut the performance penalty at least in half. Even though it's slower having the feature off, it's almost usable and it might be good enough for some people (EDIT: especially if they have a really simple icon setup, which I do not).

Sorry, I can't make a video, as I don't have anything to take video with. I can tell you eactly what I see, though. The icons move about as fast as they're supposed to, but aren't drawn very often, so the movement is choppy. In other words, it appears that the only problem is a low refresh rate (and, now that I compare the two versions closely, the refresh rate seems pretty similar), so perhaps you can increase that. Anyways, maybe someone else can oblige you with video, but you can take my word that the improvement is still quite significant. Maybe you can still tweak some more speed out of it to make it almost a no-brainer for PNA users, but great work just getting it this fast; it's a big improvement.

iphone Today is my favorite WM application and I use it heavily everyday.

I notice there is an "Animation on Launch" option and it works OK.

This morning, I've come across a task switching application called "Task Facade".

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=420220

Is it possible to enhance the "Animation on Launch" option having a similar iphone-like screen transition/animation effect before switching to the launched application ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluenote73:
Sorry if this is a repost, I've been using opera mini 5 native version a lot lately, and it eats my posts ruthlessly.

Tronikos, thanks for your work, I love IPT more than ever!

I have an idea I want to suggest that maybe the default application icons from random programs might be improved with a 'round icon corners' feature.

This would apply, I'm thinking, to resource icons from applications that aren't reaaallly optimized for anything beyond a white background, or just the WM programs screen, and they look like crap and really stand out in normal operation in IPT. I replace most of mine, but, I thought maybe this would be a nice feature to give a uniform look to the remainder?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Osprey00,

Thanks for trying. Could you try this one too? I think I fixed the tearing effect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

Yes, that fixes the tearing (another thing that I noticed before). The speed is identical to the last version, but at least it "looks" nicer.

on my device alpha on black works pretty fast, alpha (experimentation) has improved quite a lot, still much slower than disabled, but at least I would say acceptable.

Thanks!

Osprey00,

could you share with me the files, you are testing with? Probably it would make sense, to test the same environment on two different devices!?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] salopalo:
Hi, first of all, thx for the work.

I've 1.4.7 version, now, and I think that consumes more battery in my Omnia than the older version.

Is it possible?

I've the same icons.

And is possible ti have an icon to launch the "programs" file, but not with the resco explorer?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
I mentioned it too. It definitly drains more battery than before. But 1.4.9 manages the whole thing already better than 1.4.8 or 1.4.7 did. So I guess it's just a matter of time. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JaCoL_JcL:
very very good and profesional job! I move to this addon frome resco today! Big thanks m8
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
I've noticed the battery drain, too. Can it be due to all the meters ?

If so, are there any particular meters that are draining battery the most ?

Also, another question - are there any specific settings that provide maximum load speed for exe (as opposed to having battery drain running dll).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
salopalo,sinoo,Ummagumma,

The only thing I can think that should cause faster battery drain is the "update notifications every" setting in optons->general. What this setting does is every say 2000 msec checks the registry for new notifications (missed calls, emails, sms, etc.) and also updates the values for the meters (volume, battery, ram).

Try setting it to 0 to disable it. Of course then none of the special icons will be updating...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
OK, than a trick question... if I do that, what is the primary difference between iPhone Today and PocketAge (advantage vs disadvantage) ? (other than scroll animation). I can't make iPT scroll consistently on my WM6.1 Axim X51v, so I had to make "circles" big enough to hit with a finger.

Off the top of my head the biggest advantage of iPT would be the special buttons but it seems there's a battery impact. Also it can use icons from anywhere on the device. The advantage of PocketAge is that I can put any Today plugin inside PocketAge, anywhere on the screen (I have to run iPT from inside PocketBreeze). The disadvantage is no special icons (but it also means no battery hit) and the fact that all icons must be in PA directory. Memory wise I am not sure, seems that both programs have really small footprint. And of course iPT is actively developed while PA has been abandoned.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] salopalo:
Ok, thx.

What about if I put to check evrey 8000 msec or 9000 msec? That will be better for the battery?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Birger:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?vDWXDk4GWM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
So what about this:

Is it possible to create something like a save energy mode? So when locking the device iPT could stop checking the registry to save power. Only when unlocked it restart checking the registry. What do you think?

Should be easy for the *.exe at least. Like: stop checking when running in background!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
A few more questions...

- Is there a performance hit when using icon images off CF card vs main storage ?

- Is there a way to not show text captions under the icons ?

- Is there a way to speed up loading .exe component ?

Thanks !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
This evolves very nicely, congrats Tronikos.

Could there be an option to have on the first upper row a big animated clock icon, with on one side the alarm icon and on the other side an appointment icon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dj_suca:
hi everyone,

1-great today plugin and is very smooth and works very cool on Omnia 2.

2 - need help i have 1.3 and wanto to Update do 1.4 but dont wanto to lose my configuration, is it Possible?

please tell me How.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
yup... its possible... just copy icon.xml to somewhere and install the new version. then replace the new icon.xml with the old one... done...

btw just icon.xml can be use because setting.xml got a lot of new stuff inside...

icon.xml contains all your shortcut...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dj_suca:
tnks very much...

one more thing,

on the omnia 2 do you know were can i find the exe or the comand line to swith on / off bluetooth and Wifi???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
salopalo,sinoo,Ummagumma,

This update notifications check every 2 seconds was there even in v1.3 but it was only reading registry values. In v1.4.x I have added some Windows API calls to get the volume, battery, and memory so maybe these additional checks are the ones that drain battery. Could you disable the update notifications by setting it to 0 and report back your battery drainage? I want to make sure that the battery drainage you exerience is caused by this background check. Anyway such a background check was bad in the first place and I have already disabled it when the window is not active. Expect it in the next release.

claus1953,

No, but I guess you could use another today plugin above iPhoneToday that displays such a big animated clock.

Ummagumma,

1. The only performance hit when using icon images off CF card vs main storage should be the loading time.

2. To hide the text labels under the icons you can set the text size to 0.

3. During loading all the icons are read into memory and resized to whatever icon size you have set in settings. If you want to speed this up obviously you can resize your icons in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
@tronikos

That's a good input. As you know I am PND/Miopocket user and I try to pick up/make myself real good looking icons. My current icon witdh settings are "51" Therefore my question, what icon size e.g 48x48 you recomend?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

1. I've discovered a little kink in the image re-sizing/interpolation: it seems to interpolate to the size declared in settings.xml, not to the adjusted size after ShrinkToFit is processed. This means that, with ShrinkToFit enabled, the icons look good only when there's hardly any shrinking going on (i.e. when the size declared in settings.xml closely matches what ShrinkToFit would arrive at, anyways); otherwise, they look as bad as before you changed the interpolation method. I would imagine (and hope) that it's an easy fix to use the post-ShrinkToFit image size when calculating the interpolation, rather than the pre-/settings.xml size.

2. I've been messing around with overlays some more. I came up with a new RoundedPressed.png that I like better than the old one, especially as a default. Also, I fixed the corners on Spotlight.png so that it looks better on rounded icons. Then, I came up with a couple of variations of the first one that some may like (if you want to include them). Finally, I came up with a couple of silly ones that you definitely don't need to include and I almost deleted, but figured that I'd just upload them in case a few readers here care to download them.

schlork,

1. I doubt that there's much difference between our tests, especially since your results on everything appear to be the same as mine, but, if you'd still like to see for yourself, here's my testing setup: Download. Maybe, also, tronikos will have an interest in testing PND behavior with it, especially replicating stuff that I report to him.

2. Before, sizes that are multiples of 8 (32, 40, 48, 56, 64, etc) looked better when downsampled from most common icon sizes (inc. iPhoneToday's/iReflect's 96x96 ones). With the new "Averaging" method of interpolation, however, it looks like there's no discernable difference between sizes that are multiples of 8 and those that aren't (even odd numbers like 51). So, I'd say that it doesn't matter anymore what the exact size is (except when ShrinkToFit is enabled, as I detailed above, but, hopefully, tronikos will fix that).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
tronikos,

Thanks for the great app and for help !!!

Did I understand you correctly that showing time (clock) and date (calendar) wouldn't have effect on battery life, but memory, volume and power would ? Right now I've disabled all meters, but I'd like to re-enable clock & calendar if it has no effect on battery.

Also, for some reason finger scrolling between tabs is very inconsistent and it only works sporadically. Is there a setting I could tweak to make it work ? For now I cheated by making the circles large, but this reduces the available # of icons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
Ummagumma,

Try playing with the Movement settings in Options. I like a lower "Movement threshold" than the default, so that I don't have to slide my finger as much to even begin scrolling. Perhaps not understanding that is why results seem "inconsistent" to you. I found that 15 is good for me. "Movement factor" is another useful one, governing how much you have to slide your finger to change pages. I found that 4 is good for me, but, in your case, you may want to try something higher (like 10 or 15), so that pages move by more quickly. Also, instead of using the circles to switch pages, you may prefer enabling the static top bar and creating icons there for each page that you have. Here's a screenshot of my setup using this layout. See my download in my last post if you want to see the actual files. You'll still lose out on mainscreen space with this layout, but it's a nicer option than using the label-less circles to do the same thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
hi tronikos

since I use the broken glass icon and sound I have noticed that sometimes I trigger this effect when sliding from one page to another. it looks like there is a small delay built in when you want to launch a program but no delay to the broken glass effect and sound. I think that the same delay should apply to both.

J.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Ummagumma,

First try setting the value that I told you to 0 to make sure that this background check is the cause of the battery drainage.

Osprey00,

1. Fixed.

2. Thanks.

jeanne8fr,

I am not sure what you mean by "small delay when you want to launch a program" since there is no such delay. The pressed icon effect is triggered on the WM_LBUTTONDOWN event while the launch is triggered on the WM_LBUTTONUP event. Maybe the delay you mean is the duration you hold the "left button" down (that is your finger) till you release it.

- Is this possible - implement show battery percentage with symbol like '~' or '!' before or after, when battery charging, like '~35%', not only 'AC' indication?

- Is this possible - implement add GPRS/EDGE/3G switch on/off functionality on GPRS icon by IPT, without any external tool ? (Can this help xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=637607)

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
I would be interested in this as well. Currently I'm working on a modified battery-mortscript that does exactly this: using the text field to display the battery percentage while charging, as I want to know the current value while charging, too.

So in case this is doable with IPT and you, tronikos, are willing to implement it, please let me know: I'll happily wait for the coded version rather than doing it with an mortscript once more ;-)

Nothing :) When you installing iPT, it ask - "set this plugin on ToDay screen?" and you say "Yes".

Manila and iPhoneToday, both use "Today" screen. So, manila was unchecked and iPT was checked in plugins list of Today screen (Start->Settings->Today screen->Elements->iPhoneToday checker).

You can extend standart WM Today screen by installing SecondToday or TouchFlo detacher, and switch between Manila and iPhoneToday in one moment! :)

Also, you can check TouchFLO 3D (Manila) again and uncheck iPhoneToday plugin in settings.

Again, you can use iPhoneToday as application in full screen, by start it from Start->ProgramFiles->iPhoneToday.

Dear iphonetoday 1.4.9 is taking up a lot of space on my asus p527. it literally eats 7mb! anyway to make it lighter as it was b4?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Tronikos,

Now I understand what happens. When you press down you get the pressed icon effect and sound. If you slide you don't launch a program. I am not sure what could be done so that I can slide and only get the pressed icon effect when I actually want to launch a program.

I was under the impression that to launch a program you actually had to hold the finger on the icon for a short duration but I understand that in windows you have to work with whatever 'events' you have available. So using the WM_LBUTTONUP event to launch makes sense.

I am not sure that you need to do anything about it. My problem is that I have a couple of screens full of icon so that I don't have empty space to slide. I can always remove a few and create an extra page.

It's my problem, not yours :-)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
1. Yes that's an easy addition.

2. Does the code posted there work? The code is similar to the C++ code of MortScript for Connect( <connection name> ) and Disconnect and in the MortScript manual there is a note: "Sadly, since WM5 AKU3, this doesn't work anymore. Currently, there's no known way to hang up a connection from a program."

BTW, does the undocumented ToggleWLAN(<bool>) command of MortScript work for any of you?

1. Yes I could that.

2. I might.

If you don't have the AlphaBlend option enabled, the memory consumption should be less than previous releases.

2. Sorry, but I do not want to try any MortScript anymore :) , I do not trust this pair iPT + Mort, as had several times completely re-flashing my device (HTC Diamond) after installing... simple battery icon indicator based on mortscript, for example...
