Hi tronikos,

I agree that for most the movement is smooth but how do they define smooth. I am comparing smoothness with the version 0.9.5 or 1.0(d).

Secondly i have tried many combination, including removing the background. If you check previous iphone versions replies, where mitiniosis has said that the movement is not smooth as compared to previous versions but this kinda movement doesnt impact him.

You are doing a great job in keeping this application alive and taking it to next level. I am using iphone since the day it was born. The only problem is that i am stuck to version 1.0(d) because of the choppy movement.

Keep it up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
That is awesome... :)

Finally I can start the search by cycling to the left. Awesome.

Alpha blending looks really great.

Just a few things though:

- Could you disable vibration if my device is in silent mode?

- Could you add a new icon type like "needs internet connection"? Like the loading pic of apple at the upper right corner?

tronikos, keep up your work, this app is getting better and better. :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
dont know how smooth you want it to be... remember that it just a today page... cant replicate everything similar for every phone out there... btw this youtube video showing the smoothness on my Touch HD...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIxiWcvt73M

oh and the new option scrolling to left,right,up,down can run program... i just make it to the left tho... going to search just like in iPhone...

and ignore the darth vader breathing sound... choppy video with my n95... lolz... and can you upload the version 1.0[d] somewhere so i can test it back...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tusatu:
It' a very gd program. Thaks for it.

I have some problems.

The following functions not visible in add or edit icon menu:

1. --rotate to rotate the screen 90 degrees

2. --rotate:<angle> (e.g. --rotate:270) to rotate the screen by the given angle

3. --volume:+<step> or --volume:-<step> to increase or decrease the system volume by <step>

4. --reset or --restart to soft reset the device

5. --off or --standby or --suspend to suspend the device

6. --minimize to minimize the iPhoneToday's window (only for exe version)

7. --taskbar to show/hide the taskbar (only for exe version)

First I install 1.4.5 then 1.4.6.

I probed 1.4.6 install plugin and not plugin mode.

Theese function are not visible.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
1. No, it doesn't re-display the bottom half of the screen sometimes after coming out of certain programs and the 6.5 lock screen. It does this in my Kaiser and in my TP2. I have to refresh the today screen in order to display all of the icons again.

2. Bummer. I think someone should take a crack at it. I'm not a programmer I'm just making suggestions as an end-user. The mortscript option is not something I'm talking about. Something that shows the live state of the player, like with seconds remaining, album artwork, etc. Android has something like this and it's pretty sweet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
I love this application. And I love all the helpful people on here. Thanks.

Tusatsu- you will not find those options anywhere. They are commands that you can use along with iPhoneToday. Here is what you do. You create a new icon. In the ".exe" field you link to "iPhoneTodayCmdLine.exe". You can find it in "\Program Files\iPhoneToday". And then in the "paramaters" field you enter the parameter that you want to use (which are the command lines you listed above).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tusatu:
Thanks for your answer.

All three are cool, I liked the ireflectpress with the click.wav best for a default. The other 2 could be options for user, I made one using the throttle launch.png (which is a finger print scan) and a wav file of a simple scan sound. The mechanic of the whole thing works great, allowing the user so much control is the best part. Thx

create contacts in iphone

an interesting and easy way to put individual contacts is LnkMe : google for

LnkMe 1.0 : Manually creating shortcut files for SMS and call sending for specific contacts requires using a text editor (in PPC and PC). Then you have to manually type text codes and memorizethe phone number for that particular contact. Not to mention repeating the same procedure again and again for each contact.

There is a solution. LnkMe is a simple application to automate all of this. The shortcut files created will allow you to automatically create a new SMS for a particular person or make a call to a person, depending on what lnk file you chose to create.

maisonpulaski,

If want to donate, donate MiToNiOeS the original author of the iPhoneToday.

Osprey00,

1. Fixed.

3. Yes. That's how MiToNiOeS originally had the static option. It shrinks or enlarges the image to fit the screen. I will add two more options: stretch to fit and keep aspect ratio.

4. When you tap and hold are there any circles showing up in a clockwise circular fashion around the place where you tapped the screen? If yes then the SHRecognizeGesture function in aygshell.dll is being used for the detection of the tap and hold. But since this might be missing I wrote my own code to capture the tap and hold in the case that aygshell.dll is not present. Could you try with and without aygshell.dll to see where the bug is?

Edit: I tried it myself and the problem is with the aygshell.dll included in MioPocket. If you use the aygshel2.dll instead (the one I created with Platform Builder and is also included in MioPocket) there are no problems. I'll see if I can find a workaround.

Tusatu, maisonpulaski,

Yes these commands are not documented yet. For now the best place to see the available commands is:

http://code.google.com/p/iphonetoday/source/browse/trunk/src/iPhoneToday/CmdLine.cpp

e.g. Edit an icon and in the execute field enter:

--rotate

LEX@N,

Would you mind sharing the throttle launch.png pressed icon?

@Tronikos,

I updated my post from earlier on previous page. Also I wanted to report when I turn Alpha Blend on Black it makes my icons look perfect and does not effect my scroll speed, but Alpha blend on background is the one that slows my scroll speed. Alpha blend on background seems to sharpen my background jpg and sharpen my png icons.

Edit: here is another transparent fingerprint i made from an image it's 96*96

Marvelous!

Now since the 1.4.6,I can switch without problem since you have added fixed height...

But there is a new problem... If you continue with so much options, I will leave Manila for ever so I will not have to switch to manila!

What a great work! My diamond becomes an iPhone! Can't beleive!

Just a very little suggest is to handle long taps (but continuing with alternate taps) should be useful...

I continue exploring your new options...

Many thanks for sharing your job...

I think you have to be in the awards list of best pocket tools...

Sorry for my bad english, so happy, so proud to use your tool ;)

As soon as I have time, I update my scripts...

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
Tronikos- thank you.

Also- I am reading about the over laying of an icon for an effect when the icom is pressed. Is that something that has all ready been implemented? or is that for a future release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
its currently being test... browse some page back got 1 exe files tronikos upload for testing... its only exe version... but its already working there...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
edan1979,

I just wastched your video. Is this with alpha blending enabled? It looks very smooth. Does it become less smooth when you enable the option?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
yup with alpha blending on. currently using energy rom with graphic driver+gfxboost enable.

if i turn off the alpha blending on background the scroll will be fast unless i play again with the setting...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

Yes, it does the clockwise circles. I was able to eliminate the problem by renaming MioPocket's aygshell.dll (though that's not a good solution for the rest of MioPocket). I didn't even have to replace it with ayghshel2.dll. I'm guessing that the reason why right click continued working without any aygshell.dll whatsoever is the custom code that you wrote. Before all of this, though, I copied aygshel2.dll to the iPhoneToday folder and renamed it to aygshell.dll. I figured that that would work, but it didn't... my guess being that, because ayghshell.dll isn't listed as a dependency, the program/framework doesn't look for it in the program's folder before using it elsewhere. Perhaps you could solve the problem by having iPhoneToday use aygshell.dll in its own folder, if it exists. That way, I/we could supply our own aygshell.dll if we want. Of course, if you could follow the trick described in the article that I posted yesterday, it might be the ideal solution and not require any DLL supplementation by the user. Either would be fine. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
yup this one look better then the previous... and also the fingerprint post by LEX@N is also working well
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Osprey00,

Yes it continued working because of my custom code for detecting the tap and hold. The only problem is that it doesn't show any indicator (clockwise circles). I'll see if I can easily add such an indicator. Most probably though I will just disable the SHRecognizeGesture for the PND version. Thanks for the article but it doesn't apply since I am not using MFC.

Edit: Could you please run the attached exe and let me know what message you get?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

1. PlatformType.exe simply returns "Mitac_TYPE". Mitac, if you're not aware, is the parent company of Mio, so only Mios (like mine) ought to have that platform type.

2. Disabling SHRecognizeGesture for PND devices sounds like it would work, yeah. FYI, personally, I don't think that the clockwise dots add much, so I wouldn't care if they were gone.

3. I've tweaked the RoundedPressed overlay a bit more so that it looks better, in general, and also adapts better to 45x45 (a size that I forgot to test before). I'll try not to mess with it anymore from now on :). I also saved it, the CrackedGlass overlay and the StopwordPressed overlay in grayscale to reduce their file sizes by about half. Also, because the StopwordPressed overlay isn't really suitable for rounded icons, I spun it into a simple "spotlight" overlay, if you have any interest. Finally, I took Lexan's nice fingerprint overlay (hopefully, he doesn't mind), enlarged it a bit, rotated it and made it partially transparent.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
now waiting the release of dll version with overlay for icon... it seem working well with the exe version...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Here you go....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
jaskiratsingh,

I found a list of changes in 1.1 (the first release after 1.0d):

· Added Digital Clock

· Added Panoramic Wallpaper

· Added option for access to Settings UI from iPT directly (Tap & hold in a zone without icons)

· Added more settings for wallpaper and digital clock

· Small optimizations, a bit more of speed

· Some fixes

Based on that, I'd recommend disabling any/all clock icons, making sure that you're not using wallpaper (I think that you mentioned earlier that you aren't using one) and putting a checkbox in the "Disable right click" option in Options. If none of that helps, perhaps there's something with your icons. If you're using your own (especially .bmp ones), try the ones that come with iPhoneToday. Also, try reducing all of the icons' widths in Options, especially if they're larger than 48x48. If none of that helps, something worth trying may be to use a paint program to resize all of the .png files to the same resolution that they're being displayed in iPhoneToday, to see if the app's dynamic resizing is the problem. Of course, also try resetting your settings to the defaults.

and i use xperia x1i, "not a bad hardware at all"

its very slow at my mobile

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Please do something against that battery drain. :(

Or is it really just that alpha blending that causes this issue.

Since 6am to 7% until now.

It can only be iPhoneToday; it's the only app I updated.

Anyone facing the same problem of higher battery drain?

I'm using the *.dll today screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LEX@N:
@Osprey

Yeah I like those, I copied them again from your post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
Wow. I just discovered two ways to get alpha blending without any slowdown. The first, perhaps obviously (though it wasn't to me), is to enable "Alpha blend on black" and use no background. It took me this long to figure that out because I had thought that it meant black in the icons, not a black background. I mention it in case there are others like me who didn't enable that because they didn't understand what it does. The second works even with a background image. It is to enable "Alpha blend on black" and then set an "Alpha threshold" value that's a lot higher than the default, 25. I found that a value of about 160 produces the best results. It's not quite as perfect as the "Alpha blend on background" option provides, but it's pretty close and has none of the speed penalty. Try it out if "alpha blend on background" slows your device down (especially you, Lexan, as I know that you have a PND, like me).

tronikos,

I'm even more impressd with your alpha blending addition now that I've discovered this. Bravo. Also, since there's absolutely no discernable speed hit on my device (and my PND is probably the slowest of devices), I think that it would be safe to enable "Alpha blend on black" by default and give it a higher default threshold value. Like I said, 160 seems to work pretty well for backgrounds (as well as no/black background, of course). This way, users would get a prettier look from the start, without having to enable anything or experiment with threshold values (which I particularly doubt most users would do). If you do both, it might even warrant renaming the "Alpha blend on black" option to, simply, "Alpha blend", since it does do a serviceable job with backgrounds, afterall. Then, "Alpha blend on background (experimental)" might be renamed to "High-quality alpha blend (slow)". Both might explain their use a bit better to users. Anyways, good job.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chancer63:
Yes, you're right. It's much faster BUT it doesn't look so good, at least on my phone. I made me two glass- icons (battery and memory). I show you three pictures.

1st --> Alpha blend on background (experimental) --> That gives you a real impression of glass.

2nd --> Alpha threshold 25 --> Ugly grey reflection.

3rd --> Alpha threshold 160 --> No glass corners, no reflection.

See for yourself.

CU

PS: Thank you all for your good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
edan1979,

Try with different values of the RefreshTime in the XML too. Somehow I forgot to put that in the movement dialog.

Osprey00,

1. The resizing is done during the loading and does not affect the drawing speed. Same with the alphablend on black option.

2. I can make your transparency settings the default for the PND version.

Regarding alphablend,

Most Pocket Navigation Devices do not natively support AlphaBlend and my custom alphablending code is not optimized at all. On the contrary all Windows Mobile devices, except Pocket PC 2003, natively support AlphaBlend.

I wonder if I should make it the default for WM devices. I would like to hear more feedback regarding the movement speed and battery drainage when the alpha blend on background option is enabled...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
@tronikos

I' am currently integrating volume control to bottom bar. To save space at bottom bar, would it be possible to use only one button? Let's volume steps

from 0 to 100 and then from 100 to 0 again?

@Osprey

with all the features tronikos added, Miopocket minibar could be minimized, when running iPhoneToday. But as a matter of fact still one of the most important wappons when running programs. Is there a way to minimize/maximize via bottombar Button, or whatelse idea do you have.

@ Both of you

I am thinking about, that control panel cpl programs looking lousy when starting under such freaky skin. Is there any way replacing cpl's with more stylish components?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
schlork,

Done. I just added a new command e.g.

--volume:++10
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
i'll start play around with xml setting and see how it goes...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Great Thanks!

Just some feedback about the last exe, you provided to Osprey00. I hope, I can explain good. On my device these exe reacts in opposite to previous ones. Means, if I tap quick and soft a button, it runs into icon edit mode, if I tap and hold, it's a, lets say, 50% chance to get in icon edit mode. Only chance to get programs running is to tap with pressure the icon.

For Those who want:

Icon pushing with sound, very well done! Breaking glass is of course nonsense, but pretty cool!! For the breaking glass effect, I created a wav file which is more reserved and not annoying, sounding like destroying plastic touchscreen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J_Hutt:
Feature Request

For the power icon, would it be possible to have the numerical power level change colour (configurable) when connected to AC/charging, instead of displaying "AC"

ie what I would like to see is the white %value change to a red %value when I plug it in. And have the red %value change as the battery charges. No need for animation etc.

Thanks for all your effort, you're doing a fantastic job. This app has gone to a whole new level.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
schlork,

Osprey00 reported this too. It is because of the buggy MioPocket's aygshell.dll. Whenever the screen is being redrawn and you short tap the SHRecognizeGesture of MioPocket's aygshell.dll does a right click. It appeared now because of the pressed icon effect. Try scrolling the pages and short tap the screen before the icons stop moving and you will see the same problem. Anyway in the new release that I just uploaded it is fixed. I added a new option DisableRightClickDots that is set by default to 1 for PNDs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LEX@N:
Thx Tronikos!

Osprey,

Yeah same results as you with alpha blend on black. Thx

Edit: Tronikos, it works great and doesn't effect my other programs that need aygshell.dll, great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
@tronikos

sorry it's a matter of foreign language combined with lack of technical understanding. But now I know what Osprey00 meant with "clockwise circles"

V1.4.7 works now perfect without clockwise circles and I agree with Osprey00, leave it as it is! Great!

Just my two cents: The "exit " option will probably create some problems by taping it accidentally for PND/Miopocket users.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluenote73:
Tronikos,

Just updated to the latest version. This is mind blowing awesome progress, especially for somebody who was just going to take on "bug fixes" :D

Thanks so much for your work on this! I'm really loving it! Except my productivity is going to take a hit because I will be customizing my screens again so much!

(I will just mention as an aside though, that I see more requests for more custom icon types ... some kind of user configurability is near and dear to my heart but I know you've said its a lot of work) :)

thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
schlork,

That's true. I just added an option to hide the exit button in the right clik menu. You can redownload the package if you want this new option.

bluenote73,

Please don't remind me... I am spending so much time on iPhoneToday and I don't even have a device (I am only testing on Device Emulator)...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J_Hutt:
Just noticed with 1.4.7 that when 'Disable right click (long tap)' is selected under General Settings, the pressed icon effect doesnt work....at least on my Topaz anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LEX@N:
@tronikos,

I downloaded new version, but do not get a option for show/hide exit. i only updated the exe, but when I checked your settings.xml with new version I didn't see a value for there either.

Edit: On my PND with exe version disable right click does NOT effect my press icon setting. I guess since J_Hutt said he is using a Topaz then could be in dll version.
