IGO / IPT on Ipaq

I think its not a problem caused by iPhoneToday.

Running different navigation software (Navigon, GoPal, Igo etc.) on devices with other OEM navigation software requires a startup progam to edit some registry settings.

The error could also come from missing dll´s e. g.:

TMC = gpstmc.dll und gpstmc.pil

Maybe he has to edit the IGO ports as well e. g.:

[gps]

port=2

baud=57600

[tmc]

port="COM,1"

baud=38400

Here´s a 500 pages support thread about Igo, but in german language only:

SandyLake wrote on gpspassion:

When I exit my GPS program, the OS freezes, unless I click "ok" on the fatal application error window, before the GPS program starts.

I finally think, its caused by missing dll´s in IGO folder on storage Card wich he has to copy first.

I have IPT 1.5.4 running and launching iGO8 v8.3, iGO Amigo, Destinator 9 and TomTom, all running perfect fine.

@ bsinclair,

would you give SandyLake some help?

I also would like this but only Tronikos can code it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
Well, as they say, be careful what you're asking for, it may happen...

After successfully setting IPT as a Start Menu replacement, I had to give up on it. For two reasons:

1) It takes waaaaay too much time and effort to set up so many icons. When I was running it as a Today plugin on my old PDA, this wasn't an issue since I still had the Start Menu to fall back on when I needed to access one of the less used apps. With IPT replacing Start Menu, this simply doesn't work. I wish there was a way to point it to a folder and have it recreate all shortcuts inside that folder.

2) When running for a while IPT took up over 8 MB of RAM. That's before I added many icons - I basically had the default icons with another page of maybe 10 icons. (Running IPT as an application, not a Today plugin). This actually surprised me as I thought its memory consumption was much lower. I used 2 different task managers and they both showed same result, though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
For the Clock icon type, you can play with Left and Right Offsets, together with the Width to have the clock displayed over two or more icons ;).

Try to set the left offset to -100 and the right one to 100 for instance. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
Hello, that is my problem. I am using Ipaq 310 with Miopocket 4.0 R68, running iponetoday 1.5.4.

I have gpstmc.dll in the root of my primo folder.

By thway way, thank you for being so assisting jwoegerbauer and marc2040 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marc2040:
@ Abra,

months ago I would have a very small clock in one icon.

You want to go much bigger, but its the same way in the other direction.

Michoob´s advice should work.

At first build 2 white Icons and set clock color to black.

Know you just have to adjust your settings.

Then make a screenshot with EveryWan or other program.

To create a very simple set of clock icons fill the white area around hours and minutes with black color.

Then you have coordinates to build your own icons.

Try out different fonts you have to put in fonts folder and also try to hit fonts height supported by the chosen font.

For me DS-Digital was right http://www.dafont.com/ds-digital.font
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ~Abra~:
it's work "-100"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yung18:
I saw the same issue also while running ipt. After you add all the icons you need the app size grows alot, but when you either shut it down or restart the phone the size goes back down to a reasonable amount. Although I have only done the main start program menu shortcuts. This does not include the settings icons. While I understand the need to have everything linked some are rather redundant. Comm manager allows you to access most of the options in the connections menu. And you really only need to acces half the items in system plus ipt has links for a bunch of them preinstalled. you only need to setup ipt once, when it is installed just copy over the ipt file in my device/ programs/ ipt to your sd card. If you need to hard reset reinstall ipt and copy over your special version. you only need to do this once and you are good to go. Thanks for the great idea.

Don't forget to click close app on exit in the ipt settings. there is only a slight pause when ipt opens for the first time. As fast as the regular start menu.

Second Sim Signal Strengt

Hey all

Is there a way to have the special icon for signal strenght but for phone 2 - I have an ACER DX900, this is a dual sim card device.

The only thing missing is the signal strength for phone 2.

Here are sum details from the phone

To get to the phone settings from the icon - execute ctlpnl.exe as usual

with parameters mycpl.cpl,4

Keys are in the registry as follows:-

HKLM\System\State\Phone 2\Current Operator

HKLM\System\State\Phone 2\Signal Strength Raw

HKLM\System\State\Phone 2\Status

I can write code but I havent for a long time and I don't have any complers or SDK, but I believe it should be a matter of repeating the code for the current signal strength and just substituting the above values and paths.

If someone could do this - it would surely complete this 100% for those of us with Dual Sim phones.

Thanks in advance

Phone 2 Icons

Here are some modified icons for the above request
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brettf2566:
OK well it seems no one is interested in dual sim modding the iphone today app

Though I didnt give you all a lot of time i know.

Anyway here it is - i downloaded the code and modified it to have an additional special icon called phone2 for dual sim phones.

You can now set an icon to display signal strength for the second sim.

Just close iphone today and copy the files in the attached archive over the ones in your iphone today folder on the phone.

Restart ipt and viola ther you have it:D

you will also need to copy the signal strength icons and rename them to phone2xxxxxx.png then stick them back - so you will have two sets in the same folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Don't take it too hard, it's just that the original dev is absent for the last months and there's probably few people with dual sims ;)

Anyway thanks for the contribution :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brettf2566:
It's no problem at all really - It just hurt my brain a lot remembering how to write in C++ as well as of course finding all the developer tools i needed.

I hope someone else can use it too - it's really cool having 2 icons side by side showing different signal strengths
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ironface2005:
hi all, I'm new to this forum and I'm new to IPT that I just installed last Saturday. I felt very good with the original Acer S200 home, but when I saw this great app and the stability reached, I decided to install it. I'm happy, very very happy, but I need help on 2 topics (let me apologize in advance if they have been already treated in one of the 250+ previous pages):

1. how to create a screen lock button;

2. all the apps that I close using the right upper x, since IPT has been installed, get minimized instead of being closed, "stealing" RAM.

Bye Guys
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
1. Not sure it will really help, but you can map an icon to "\Windows\EndKey.exe". Then you can go to the Settings when you run the first time EndKey.exe and change the behavior to directly lock the screen.

2. This is not a behavior of IPT, but a behavior of Windows Mobile 6.5, or you have change settings in Windows Mobile 6.1 not to close apps but to minimize them when you click X. What Windows Mobile version are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ironface2005:
Thanks indeed for your quick answer . windows\EndKey.exe is not available on my WM6.5, and even searching for the Endkey.exe file on the smartphone it doesn't appear.

Regarding closure, the IPT installation disabled that function and I re-enabled it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Then, you could try to find and call in the Windows folder DeviceLock.exe or LockDevice.exe.

If you don't have them installed, please check this thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
anyone experienced a gwes.exe memory leak problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fubo73:
Everyone experiences it. It's a known WM 6.5.x build whatever limitation.

There are hints elsewhere to reduce it at minimum.

Using IPT I have a limited gwes.exe memory leak (I think IPT and gwes.exe are not related at all), but I disabled totally WM start menu, that is the main leak source for gwes.exe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Thank you; fixed. That would explain the wierd swap I was getting going to and from
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
@Tronikos; I noticed that when I change/move/delete or edit an icon, the change does not go into the icons.xml immeditly. So if I delete an icon and refresh the plugin within 5-10 seconds, the change is undone. Do you know how long it takes for iPT to write the changes to the icons.xml file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
j- thank you so much sir. I don't know why I didn't think of the storage card thing. That completely solved my problem. I installed a new ROM so had to reinstall everything and just put it all on storage. Reinstalled V.1.4 to device and fixed my problem. So again- thanks so much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
bbonzz,

I just fixed it.

j101399j,

It should be immediately.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zenggang:
good job!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fanwater:
glad that you took over the development and make this apps alive

've been using 1.3 and just installed your 1.43. all went smooth

only my littte suggestion

1) i copied my 1.3 icons xml, your IPT somehow never display the icons properly and i've to reselect each one of this image to make the icons appear again

2) vertical scrolling should only enable movement in the up & down direction rather than "free-style"

Thanks and keep up the good job
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] THUDUK:
This is just great, well done on continuing development...

Few things, my sms balloon doesn't show up when I get a text and when I click on it I can only seem to setup to got the top level email/sms account area, how can I set it to go directly to the unread sms ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Has anybody an idea why my icons.xml looks completely messed up, while settings.xml is still sorted.

I open with Windows 7 Standard Text Editor.

A big problem for me, cause I do changes direct on icons.xml

schlork,

Please redownload. I just fixed the newlines of icons.xml.

Nice release!! If you don't mind i have share this great app here:

http://www.wmfreeware.net/2010/02/iphonetoday-v144-iphone-clone.html

Please feel free to comment if you would like to add any more description of if i have missed anything. :D

Thanks for developing such nice app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
yeah!

+1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
I believe this update is to avoid messing up of icons.xml!?

Question is, if there is a chance my already messed up xml reverse back in good condition?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
no, you have to use an old backup version or to realign manually

btw, everytime i add an icon the xml loses the formatting. I don't care, since it does its job anyway, but seems the fix doesn't work

another thing, for sjtoggle users. To keep using it with IPT>1.4 you have to do a small change in every sjtoggle mscr:

at the end of each file, change the line

ForEach text in split (count_screen,"<screen>",TRUE)

into

ForEach text in split (count_screen,"<screen header=",TRUE)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Ok understand. :( Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Love the new release. It does ask to save the xml files before installing but it still overwrites the icons with the one in the cab.

Not a big deal but forces you to go restore your icons if you don't like the new ones.

Thanks for the work. I have tried just about every UI out there. This one is the simplest, most eye pleasing and efficient there is. Does the job and does it well. That's one of the reason the iPhone is so popular.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I love the new version and the battery option, here's a blank icon I made if anyone wants it and what my screens look like.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LEX@N:
@Tronikos

Very nice release, runs great, battery meter works great (thx for adding that for your PND/PNA friends). You deserve a keg of beer, lol, for real tho.

On another note I had one question. Earlier in another post you said something about making iPhoneToday independent of windows, do you mean that literally, that it doesn't need to be put in a windows structure to operate?

@12gage

thx for icon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
schlork,

I used UltraEdit (File->Conversions->UNIX to DOS) but any advanced text editor should have such a feature to convert the newlines.

jeanne8fr,

Do you mean that it overwrites the images in the icons directory? Then I guess you should use different names for your custom icons.

LEX@N,

iPhoneToday is already independent of any Windows CE components that might be misssing. This means that it should run on any Pocket Navigation Device.

Tilt automatic and favorites

Hi, great app. but i am missing the auto rotate when you tilt the phone. and a button fore favorites (contacts)

i have a htc touch pro 2

Regards

Osmund
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@osma101174: have you read the F... FAQ? :mad:

For contacts, go to the FAQ, then search for "12. Adding a link to a contact card" or just "contact".

For the rotation on tilt, if you use the .exe version, just ensure in Options of iPhoneToday, in the General tab, you have unticked "Ignore rotation". Then, add iPhoneToday to the white list (check G-Config).

But I don't know if you can auto rotate the Today screen, if you are using the dll version (= Today version) of iPhoneToday... if you cannot do it with G-Config, maybe you could try with changeScreen.

Hi egoist6

Welcome and thanks for contributing. I tried the sound script but it didn't work, maybe because of this line:

RegWriteString ("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday\Icon0","strImage","\Program Files\iPhone\sound" & s & ".png")

But moreover did you try the volume function already built in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6390700&postcount=1534?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egoist6:
that's correct. i am using a different folders for my icons (iphone instead of iphonetoday) and scripts because of installation purposes after a new rom flash.

i thought that everyboday here will be able to adjust scripts to their pathsetting - so did you :)

i saw that post about volume settings but i needed something to quickly cycle through the following stages (mute, vibrate, sound on) without the need to adjust the volume itself.

If you use the icon type 'Volume', this icon will just show you the Volume state of your phone. If you just want to have an icon change but without the volume % displayed, just set the text height of the volume icon type to 0 :).

As for the quick cycling though the volume states, check this post ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egoist6:
thanks for the tip but when activating vibrate status the icon is not changing.

instead of bssound.exe i prefer the postmessage command of mortscript :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Yes egoist6, you are right.

The Volume icon type is just the volume level, but not the sound profile status.

I just found one of my posts:

What you would like to have is a mix of the "Phone Profile" icon type (which is not working on WM6.x) and of the "Volume" icon type.

I guess you can only do it with MortScript as the developper has disappeared, or checkout the source code to continue the project, as tronikos did when MiToNiOeS stopped working on it :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msmsms1:
Danke.

Das habe ich gesucht.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egoist6:
yeah - this is what exactly my script "sound.mscr" is for.

however, a new icon type e.g. profile would be great. it looks up the following registry key value:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides\Mode

this comes back to the original request somebody posted here already - the ini file where to define registry values. i wish i could do that myself... :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DorkyDev:
What are you using for the clock can ya please tell me? Thanks awesome setup!

I've been trying to do this forever for a friends phone...

tronikos - How do I set up just the bottom row and the two mainscreen rows, I've got it overflowing right now and the 3rd row of icons are still showing up halfway, which I don't want a 3rd... Also am I able to make six tabs to make up for the 12 missing icons taken off from the 3rd on all screens?

I'm also using it on my today with iPhoneToday for big clock and for fitting my s2u2 screen :
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
@Corwin

Nice combination, the subject is a little too Gothic for my taste ;) BTW your bubbles look like the default ones from the first release, you should change them with the newer ones, they have a better resolution.

Difficult to understand what you mean, could you pls post a screenshot? What do you call tabs?

FYI bottom bar is configurable in options, first tab, select screen type, dropdown and select "bottombar".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DorkyDev:
I got it aligned... It was the 2nd row of icons in Mainscreen I guess you'd call it, it was halfway hidden underneath the bottom bar...

I'm using Floyd's H++ UI with 2 Notification Rows and Clock Row, I'd like to be able to use TodayClock

I'd love to be able to get some small bottom bar icons like his, but I had no luck finding just bottom bar icons yet in the icons thread... I think that would fix my overlap problem when using TodayClock.

As you can see with rLToday + iPhoneToday theme Android(ish) he has for dots/tabs/pages:

http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/index.php?topic=1906.0

Okay I got the icon and spacing fixed(See 3rd Attached Photo), now I'd just like to know how he made his bottom bar move from left to right so I can add 6/7 icons to it, that and I'd like to know if there is a way to increase the pages/tabs/dots...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:

He is just switching between his four pages so it appears like a scrolling bottom bar (that's right, you have as many dots as pages, every time you add a page you get a dot for free :D)) Remember if you have 6 or 7 icons in a row, you'll be scrolling 6 or 7 icons at a time.

To get a proper scrolling bottom bar you need Manilla not IPToday :p Anyway you can get something close if you use IPT as a second plugin, the first would be the clock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DorkyDev:
Okay yea the bottom bars icons cycled through I thought...

So what is the exact step to creating a new page?

Just moved icon and swipe until you've passed the 3rd (Last default) page? Or just creating icons until it shifts over to a new (4th) page? LoL

_

Sidenote:

I plan on maybe adding a single lined weather plugin, maybe PocketWeather or SPB Weather. Then readjusting the icons again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Just create a new icon and in the first field -screen- enter page number (0 being the first page)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DorkyDev:
Cool one last question? Are you able to create Contact Icons with commands like "Call" "Text" "E-mail" and "MMS" if so thats cool... I know it'd be all up to the users choice to create a icon for that contact... But I was thinking something like or along the lines of Elacont Dialer's Today Plugin...

If not that would a cool feature to chalk up to the to do list. LoL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Yes and before you ask another one just check the FAQ in the first post ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DorkyDev:
Let me know what ya think, final cut for my friends theme of which was just a concept for awhile:

Think it looks alright, cool or whatever? Or should I cut back down to 5 icons per mainscreen and 7 icons for bottom bar?

6 and 8 kinda makes it cut straight down the middle if ya see what I mean.

5 mainscreen icons per row

28PX Maiscreen | 18PX Bottom Bar

or

30PX Mainrow | 22PX Bottom Bar

off-topic

I wrote a simple Mortscript app that uses iPT 1.5.4.1 (standalone) as skin. My question: is there any way to get the main screen overlayed with a message screen if user starts an action, e.g. "Installing, please be patient ..."?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Looks to me a little too busy- maybe the little men in the background :p, especially when some icons like explorer don't match. Notice labels in the bottom bar overlap. IPT give you so many pages, why display all the icons in the first one? But this is only my opinion :)

Hi jwoegerbauer, can't tell you exactly where but I'm sure I saw it in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=289197.

I know it's long :)

Edit: I think I found the answer, lots of trials and error but it works for me

StatusMessage( "Launching My App ", ST_LIST, FALSE )
StatusShow()

PLACE HERE YOUR COMMAND LINE(S)

StatusMessage( "Please Wait" )
StatusShow()

Attached different scenarios
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egoist6:
use the folowing code:

first initialise the message screen:

StatusType(ST_LIST, True, False)
StatusInfo("Installation", "Progress")
StatusHistorySize(50)
StatusMessage("Backup in progress...")
(some code here)

if your script proceeds you can add the following code where you want. this will add " DONE" to the first statusmessage and add another line to your message screen while keeping the old statusmessages in the list:

StatusShow()
StatusMessageAppend(" DONE")
StatusMessage("Installing...")

you could even display a kind of progress bar by adding a "." to your message every 1sec as an example.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Hi, for an iPhoneToday weather plugin, you can try IPTWeather (see my signature). It has so many options that it should fit your needs, and it is for free (unless you want to donate ;))!
