Weird thing happened to me today.

Today i installed the latest release of iPhoneToday from this thread. Previously I had iPhoneToday latest release from the other thread, the one that's not updated anymore (with released source code). And I did some customizations on the old version I had, but today i came to this new one, so I uninstalled older version, and installed this new one.

It loaded standard icons, and after i played with options, I did Animation to NONE and it suddenly brought back the old icon setup I had on the old version of iPhoneToday. How is this possible?

Because I like more the new icon's over the old ones.

And I have one question if anyone can answer. What tweaking can be done from the Movement Section if someone can help to make it move better.

Best regards. Gjizaqin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
I guess it is impossible.

One of the reason it is not possible is the fact iPhoneToday 1.3 is stored in the root of the device, whereas tronikos' iPhoneToday is stored in the Program Files folder.

You must have copied your old icons.xml file over the new one I guess.

Hi,

how to make an icon to create a new SMS to a specific number with specific text?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@catweazle2k3: have you tried this or at least this :p?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qaplus:
I have the same problem with Calendar. I also installed 1.53rc1 and reverted back to 1.52. But the problem is still there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikatravels:
First of all thanks for this great app, unbelievable! What I wanna accomplish is that when I push the e-mail button that i arrive directly to my hotmail inbox and not to the choice menu of mail and sms. Anybody can give me the right parameters?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@mikatravels: search for "6. Create an icon to a SMS and E-mail" on iPhoneToday's FAQ (link in the first post).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gjizaqin:
Thanks for the reply.

I realized it later that while trying to add an icon, i browsed the old icon's pack i had on storage card, and in that folder was icons.xml which I guess did that change I explained. But now it's ok, i reinstalled IpT and got used to it. I also read FAQ which i must have missed last night.

Anyways thanks for reply :)

Cheers.

The problem seems related to time zone? The date is correct in the afternoon, it seems only wrong in the morning.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChrisGarner:
Hi, i really like this software so much that i have been very happy to make a donation to you! (confirmation number: 3DL74843WT754915W) I would like to ask you if there is a possibility to have same function of Sms on other sms manager... I explain: I have vito sms-chat but at the moment i don't know if it is possible to open the software with new sms page.. Every time a new sms arrives, i have to open vito sms and manually tap on the line that shows "1", do you know it there is a chance to open new sms page directly with one tap? Like as windows default sms? Maybe with any parameters? Thanks to you and thanks for this great piece of software!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m4f1050:
You need to check the program's documentation/manual for it's paramenters and what they do and pass the correct parameters (when you edit or add the icon you have a "Parameters:" section you do that on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] The_Punisher:
Hi Tronikos:

Sorry for the delay. Here is my iPT directory (except for icons and wallpapers). This was regarding to the calendar icon on the static bar always been 1 day behind (unless I force a reload). Again, the icon in the standard scrollable area works fine.

please let me know if this is what you needed or is ou need also the icons and WPs....

Thanks as always for your great support.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChrisGarner:
I'm unable to find these informations in its site.. Maybe i can try to ask in support section...

One more question: What is "topbar"? I can't find it in the program interface? Maybe i have to activate it?

I have found the solution... I had to create a new "-2" page.... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Livven:
tronikos, is it possible to add an option in the movement tab to specify the number of pixels the screen has to be dragged before it'll automatically transition over to the next one? I know you can set the movement factor higher but that's a bit different.

What about seperating the options into a single EXE so you can switch back to iPT? Sometimes I want to open another app while leaving the settings menu open, but as I have disabled my Start menu this isn't possible.

Anyway thanks a lot for your updates to this app, keep it up :)!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] x1user1:
hi tronikos,

i wonder if you'll ever make this app use the whole screen instead of only a part of it? unfortunately this isn't "convincing", if you know what i mean
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Livven:
Use the EXE version and check the fullscreen option in the general tab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] x1user1:
ooh, thanks! i feel like an amateur
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PiroJoke:
Help please,how to download this stuff? Write me to djpirojoke@ya.ru please...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pepecampana:
Where is the exe version download?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] x1user1:
You install the cab, given to you in his first post.

But this time, you dont launch the program using today, you launch from the programs folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lorier:
Thx for IPT !

With the exe version when I press the right phone key, IPT no longer appears and I had to recall it from the task mgr (omnia phone). Is there a way to prevent this, so that the right key has no effect?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

1. There appears to be a bug when the wallpaper has an odd-numbered dimension, like 639x480 or 1023x768. iPT ends up tearing the image. FYI, this is with the "Wallpaper" tab and only "Center" checked. I don't know if it happens with other settings or with the backgrounds that can be set on the "Screen" tab.

2. What about, if, when an icon is set to a bad path and it's run, the error appears in a Yes/No dialog box and answering Yes opens the Icon Settings page for that icon (or, even better, directly to the "Select File" dialog)? EDIT: I just realized that this wouldn't be desirable if iPT is on SD card and the error is occurring simply because the SD card isn't in. Perhaps you could check if the drive, itself, exists before prompting to edit the path.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
As far as I know, no...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
I am facing an issue with Phone icon. I have ASUS P320 with WM6.1 ROM.

My phone icon settings are:

Type: Missed Calls and Signal Strength

Image point to phone icons

I use xdashutdown. Everytime i restart the ppc using xdashutdown and i get the icons, the phone icon displays as NA despite the network connection available. If i restart it again, it is fine.

This happens at every alternate start.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Volki21:
It is possible if you change the source code yourself.

In iPhoneToday.cpp replace the lines 3615 - 3628 with the following:

HWND hwndParent = FindWindow(_T("DesktopExplorerWindow"), _T("Desktop"));

DWORD dwWidth = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
DWORD dwHeight = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

// Create main window.
g_hWnd = CreateWindowEx (WS_EX_NODRAG, // Ex Style
szWindowClass, // Window class
g_szTitle, // Window title
WS_VISIBLE| WS_POPUP | WS_NONAVDONEBUTTON, // Style flags
CW_USEDEFAULT, // x position
CW_USEDEFAULT, // y position
dwWidth,	// Initial width
dwHeight,	// Initial height
hwndParent,	// Parent
NULL, // Menu, must be null
hInstance, // Application instance
NULL); // Pointer to create

That will create the iPhoneToday window as a child of the root desktop window of the pocket pc. So if you press the "Home" key of your phone this window will become active.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChrisGarner:
Hi! Can you explain me how to do this? Source code is not in the program folder, right? Thanks in advance....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Volki21:
First you have to install subversion and either Visual Studio or Visual C++ Express Edition 2008 and the Windows Mobile 5 SDK on your PC ( SDK version 6 would also work, but then you have to change all the project settings) . Then do a checkout of the code with subversion from http://iphonetoday.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Open the Visual Studio solution, replace the code in iphonetoday.cpp as mentioned above and compile (preferable in release mode) the complete solution.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, maybe you should search for someone who is familiar with using Visual Studio. Or maybe the maintainer of iphonetoday wants to integrate an option that let you configure if the exe will be started as a child of the desktop window handle.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] taospirit:
hello tronikos, Very good prog great thx.

i wonder if in the exe version there is a way when we launch Ipt to start on a specific page (like 2 or 3 for example)? Thx for reply ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] midnitefreakin:
ipt rocks!

my Asus P527 screen shot with IPT 1.5.3 beta and TClock!

Rocks!

cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChrisGarner:
It doesn't seem easy doing this...:p I have no experience with programming language and for the moment i have no time to learn... However i thank you for the help... I hope author or anyone make this modification, i think it's very useful for most of us... It's the only way to have iphoneToday in fullscreen and always in foreground, or not?:D

And is it possible to have the complete changelog of beta version? Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
I agree... would be great... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Volki21:
Attached a slightly modified version of the current svn/trunk. It contains the patch posted by me some pages before and the possibility to toggle wifi using --wifi_toggle and of course the fullscreen change mentioned above.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supper70:
I am using a samsung omnia i910 windows mobile 6.5 with 23558 (waremike, titanium version). I then installed IPhoneToday v1.5.2 and it looks great. However, it does not automatically come up as home screen (even when i select it as the default on the start/settings/home under 'Items' tab). It does work if i select IPhoneToday in the Task Manager and then click on 'Switch To' in the Menu. If that's all there was to it, I would not mind but i find that if i run certain applications (like SPB Weather, Garmin Mobile, etc) that the application page starts from the top a little ways down. Therefore, there is a gap between the top menu bar and where the application starts at the top. The background of the iPhoneToday is seen in that gap between the top menu bar and the application screen. It seems like that application page (for certain applications) need to be "centered" or adjusted up. However, most of the applications work ok (ie, there is no gap between the top menu bar and the application screen). Can someone please explain and let me know how to get rid of this gap?

Also, when I start up the phone, I see it go through three different startup screens ("Samsung Omnia", "Verizon Wireless", and "Windows"). I'm ok with most of it but I'd like to change the Verizon Wireless startup screen to a different one (like the one that is associated with Adrynalyne's rom). Also, the shutdown screen show "Verizon Wireless" and I'd like to change it to something else more cool. Does anyone know how to change it? Also during the startup, there is a message that pops up that states "Radio, Initial Programming Needed". Anyone know what that is? THanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chenyth:
Looks good. I want to have a try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Make sure that iPhoneToday is the only item checked in the items list.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] masterrn:
how do I install this on my hd2

please help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Volki21:
Uncheck manilla, install the iphonetoday.cab. Or did you have a more specific problem with this procedure?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agb2008:
Thank you very much for this version - I did a brief test on my HTC P3300 and it seems to be working in fullscreen mode as expected ! Great job ! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lorier:
Same for me on my omnia. thx a lot !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChrisGarner:
Thanks a lot, i'll try it as soon as possible...;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toberino:
another option request

I'd like to hide the softkeys with the dll version(today plugin), but keep the taskbar. There might already be a way to do it but I can't figure it out. Could this become an option in the next version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
You need a third-party app like nuenobar. You have to figure out, if this fits your needs as it is not working perfect on my device.

Why don't you use the *.exe? There are settings to use it the way you like.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Sorry no such plans but you could post your suggestions on the google moderator site.

Long tap on an empty area -> add icon -> browse for the exiectable of HTC Music Player.

I am planning to add theme support but not in the near future... For now you can accomplish what you want with mortscript.

If the icon type is set to calendar and appointments then it should display the count stored in HKCU\System\StateAppointments\List\Count. Note that it seems only WM6+ has this registry value.

Please check the FAQ. There are programs available to hide the soft keys. One of them is nueNoBar.

If you mean touch sensitivity when you scroll, then change options->movement->factor to 1.

Or you could search for the LockScreenToday in this thread.

Fixed.

It seems it's because Windows Mobile doesn't update HKLM\System\State\DateTime\Date that often. Anyway I think I fixed it...

Have you tried the IgnoreMinimize option? Currently it can only be set manually in settings.xml.

1. I had noticed that too. It should be a bug of imaging api since it appears only when imaging api is used.

2. That error message is displayed by windows and can't be changed to a Yes/No dialog.

Would you mind sharing your patch?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toberino:
The exe runs as an app and can be closed. I would like it to stay open like the dll and return home to the today plugin like the dll, but look like the exe. I know you can hide it from the system task manager, but it still closes like an app. Any other suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Volki21:
Seems like this option is only available via directly editing the settings.xml, isn't it? But it does not have the intended effect. Pressing the home button will bring the today screen in front and not the HWND of the iPhoneToday.exe.

I'm currently not at home where I have the patch. But I can post it next time I have access to my pc. Yesterday I added a bluetooth toggle, too so I can submit both at once.

Another thing that I changed is a call to PollingUpdate if NotificationUpdates are set to zero and a slide move has stopped to save battery and update the notifications at least after the user did something on screen. But when debugging into the code yesterday I'm not entirely sure if this is really necessary, or if the registry notifications are already doing those updates. Although in this case I wonder why one need the polling update anyway.

Something I found a bit confusing was that it seems that WifiStrength and WifiState are two different icon states, although the WifiStrength depends on the wifi state. Therefore I moved the

int wss = GetWifiSignalStrength();
if (wss != wifiSignalStrength) {
wifiSignalStrength = wss;
wifiSignalStrength_changed = TRUE;
} else {
wifiSignalStrength_changed = FALSE;
}

to the top of PollingUpdate and set the wifiSignalStrength_changed variable to true in case lParam==8 (SN_WIFISTATEPOWERON). The intend was to let the WifiSignalStrength icon to be updated in a quicker way than before (switching from Off to NA until signal strength update has been received).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Volki21,

1. Could the intended effect be achieved by calling SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE, ...) and SetParent(hwnd, GetDesktopWindow()) in the initialize app function instead of when creating the window? That would allow having an option DesktopChild that sets the window as a popup child of the desktop window or not. Could you submit a patch for that too?

2. Polling update is needed for WM2003 devices that don't support registry notifications It's also needed for updating the free memory and wifi signal since these are not stored anywhere in the registry. It also updates battery and date since the corresponding registry values are not updated that often.

3. It sounds like the change should be done in InvalidateScreenIfNotificationsChanged. I just changed:

if (notifications->wifiSignalStrength_changed) {

to:

if (notifications->wifiSignalStrength_changed || notifications->dwNotificationsChanged[SN_WIFISTATEPOWERON]) {
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Volki21:
I tried that yesterday already, but it seems that all you can do is change the parent but not make the already created window a popup. The result was, that the taskbar and the sip buttons were always visible and above the iphonetoday window.

The only possibility I can see to make it configurable, is to read the config file before creating the window.

Well I guess it would make sense then to update the notifications at least if the user has moved a page in case the polling has been disabled.

Attached the wifi and bluetooth toggle. I had to extend the retrieval of the device key because otherwise it didn't found a wlan device on my touch pro

Bottombar and Icons

hello,

as you can see, my bottomicons (originally 96x96px) are just a tiny bit to small.

If I expand them from 46x46px to 58x58px (you may know my bottombar got a 60px height) they are not growing.

so please have a look at my settings.xml.

any ideas???

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChrisGarner:
Thanks for the toggle icons! And thanks even for fixed exe, i tried it and works very well!! I think it would be better if your mods are in the first post... ;)

EDIT: Sorry man, but what kind of file is your? I have seen a *.patch file, how to use it? Maybe this one have to add to a source code of iphone today?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Fixed it with my second upload of 1.43
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Hi tronikos,

Can you please consider improving the transition speed between pages? For me a smooth transition is very important. I am stuck to 1.0(d) because of that :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi Tronikos

Can you tell me please why there's no iPhoneTodayCmdLine.exe in the pnd version or how to reload the IPToday by mortscript ?

Thank you very much for your time and work on this thread :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Since I don't have the source code of 1.0 I have no idea what has changed...

iPhoneTodayCmdLine is only for the dll version (today item).

Use:

Run("\whatever\iPhoneToday.exe", "command")

where command is one of the available command line arguements.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Yes, you're right, and I have tested your trick. Unfortunately, by default, I have set my phone to be detected as a Storage Disk, and not as an ActivSync mobile, so when I connected it to my PC, I could not try your trick, and in fact, since my phone was at 100% of CPU, I could not even access to the storage card... :(

Fortunately, I had a PIM backup done on the 02/02/2010, so I have just lost some messages and one hour of configuration... next time, I'll first try to configure iPhoneToday 1.4x on the emulator... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Thanks. I hope it's really fixed... ;)

I'll give another shot then.

By the way, I'm using BMP icons, and they where not drawn. I had just black blanks for most of them, and only a few of them where drawn. Is it due to the r65 fix? Because I don't want to use transparency...

I'll check again with the newest version, because I couldn't make a screenshot because of the hard reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi

I'm doing this Run("\Program Files\iPhoneToday\iPhoneToday.exe", "--relaunch") , the same with --reload but no joy, what am I doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
thanks for the tip tito12 !!! no more white screen flashing.

Now all i need is to know how to link an icon to lower level icons than what appears only on the start menu .... i see examples like \windows\start menu\comm manager.lnk (in my case it's the wrong link ) .... these seem to be completely hidden files
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
In edit icon screen, on the top box select -01
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
First, what you're doing will only work if you're using the exe version, and not the dll Today version.

But I presume you already know that.

I don't know for the --relaunch command, but for the --reload command, you'll have to fill the registry values reloadicon or reloadicons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi michoob

The exe version doesn't write anything in the registry :)

Edit: I found a workaround, probably not very elegant: I used Kill(iphonetoday.exe) then Run(iphonetoday.exe).

Thanks to you both for help :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
The dll version neither... you have to write data into the registry and iPhoneToday checks them.

The only thing iPhoneToday writes is a 0 into reloadicon(s) when the job is done, and is the same behaviour for the exe and the dll versions, at least in iPhoneToday 1.3.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Here's a little script I made for changing the iconsets for those who have many and want to keep them on the Storage card. I needed the faster and original access of the program to the Icons folder in Program Files, so i had the idea of copying the icons from Storage card into the original folder. This solution is specially fitted for small specs devices like mine ;).

First one for the exe (PNA) version

2nd one for the Wm (today plugin)

Preparations:

1 Back up the original iconset you have in the iPhoneToday\Icons folder and preferably copy it in your Storage

2 One condition of course is to standardize the icons names in the different folders i.e. "comm manager.png" is not the same as "commmanager.png". You might align all the names with your default iconset names.

3 Make as many copies of the script as iconsets

4 Edit the scripts to change the path to your iconsets including to the previously backed up

5 Copy the scripts anywhere on your device, create shortcuts for them in \Start Menu\Programs and in iPhoneToday create icons.

This is it, you can change all your icons in 5 seconds by pressing one button :D.

All the credits go to Mitonioes, Tronikos and all the nice people here :D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phattboy29:
hi... first off, thanks for picking up the ball on this lovely today screen plug-in... is there a way to release a version of this great software that will allow you to save a theme, kinda like iFonz does? for instance, if i just want to have circular icons, or all glossy icons, or did i miss that?

thanks in advance

PB29
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi

I am now testing on the cabbed version for WM, continuing the subject of reloading the icons with mortscript. This time Run("\Program Files\iPhoneToday\iPhoneTodayCmdLine.exe", "--relaunch") is supposed to work but it isn't...

Any ideas ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
iPhoneTodayCmdLine.exe is only for the dll version, not the exe one.

At least, you can try to put the value 1 to the reloadIcons registry, and then call Run("\Program Files\iPhoneToday\iPhoneTodayCmdLine.exe", "--reload").
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi Michoob

Read my post: I am now on the dll version ;)
