Pretty sure. The way it closes over the top of it won't work cause it won't reach over the top. Plus the vaja case is pretty exact fitting without any wiggle room. I contacted Vaja to see if they could make a version that fit the US model, but unfortunately they said they have no plans to. I have the noreve case which is made for the euro version, also, but luckily it does have some wiggle room and doesn't have such an exact fitting closing mechanism... so it fits decently. But you can tell that the volume button and camera are a couple mm higher up and the top goes a little higher. I had to cut a little extra off the camera hole.

Good luck... hopefully you can return or cancel the vaja case. Otherwise, if you get it and figure out a way to mod it to get it to fit, please let me know because I would love to have a vaja case. But I'm pretty sure it's not gonna fit without you modifying it someway. I don't know how you could mod it, though.

Hi,

There are 3 files you must to install in order

1-TA_MOBiDIV_416_AR_Eng.cab (which will install the arabic font)

2-Enable_Ar_EzInput_2.1.19202530.cab (which will install the arabic keyboard)

3-PD SMS Fix.cab (fix the inverse appear of sms messages, you could scape it if you didn't receive any arabic messages).

after installation you will find that numbers and shortcuts and the hall device will change to arabic interface to fix that

-go to settings>all setting>system>Multilingual Support

-Make sure that your country is correct,and in digit substitution is set to context

-go to control tab and set to English with Arabic Enabled

set text alignment to Context

Please see the attached files.

I'm trying to gauge interest in developing manila/sense tabs, I'm looking for:

1. people interested in working on the facebook tab

2. people who want to make other tabs

3. people who are app developers who want to tie into tabs

4. we also need some people comfortable doing window apps

(I think we need help getting started with the Manila Kitchen GUI tools - currently command-line). There is plenty of guys who have worked on the tools and know tons about manila, just need a framework in which to tie into.

Please state if you are expert or beginner or willing to learn.

I think in most areas, support can be given to most to get them started (even if it's not your area of expertise) and will probably prove a good learning experience.

Now, just need to work out how to make this a poll...

OK, you can select more than one option at time:

- Expert can be considered Expert/Intermediate skill, i.e. you've made something and it works quite well.

- Beginner would be someone who has done small tweeks or done simple programs.

Ahh, forgot window app developers, in this case, register your interest (if you are), in the TouchFLO/Manila/SenseUI social group (a great bunch of guys who helped me from knowing nothing about sense):

Project: Manila GUI Kitchen Environment.

I'd be interested in working on a Phone tab. something that included not only a call history, but some dynamic icons that showed (at the very least):

Missed calls.

Voice mail.

SMS/MMS

Email

It's amazing to me that this was on earlier versions of Manila/TF3D but isn't on the newer versions. This entire concept was supposed to be designed for a pda/PHONE converged device, but the phone side of it has been

weakened

on every upgrade.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] smeddy:
Great thread meltwater, you may end up being the driving force of a whole new Manila experience :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
No, the guys before me have been that (would have been no hope without the tools), but hopefully we've got some interesting ideas on the table!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Excellent results on the poll.

Here is an update of what's currently happening:

1. Facebook Tab

I'm currently continuing development on the tab myself, since it is still providing me with useful knowledge on working with manila. It serves as a good driving force for me to try out more stuff.

[MOD][SENSE2.5TAB] Basic Facebook Tab - Developer Thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=663494

2. Custom Manila Interface Tab

I should be able to start work on this once I've learnt enough from doing the changes on the facebook tab. Currently my understanding of manila isn't quite good enough to tackle this yet, it's a big job particularly when the manila code isn't that easy to work with when there is no api.

The concept here is to make a basic tab where the content can be defined by a normal windows mobile app. This should allow many more tabs to be created, without specialist knowledge of manila code.

Something similar to this, but populated by an external app.

3. Manila/Sense Kitchen GUI

The group still needs someone to help kick off the project with some help in building the basic framework for the application. I really hope that this can be achieved, moving the whole process into a graphical app will really help with dealing with the difficult editing of the manila files particularly when defining the graphical components.

Please feel free to give feedback on what you think about my plans. Also if you want to get started on some simple(ish) stuff, there's bits in my tutorials etc.

Ok, trying to get a working development environment for windows mobile, is quite difficult if you don't have a full copy of Visual Studio. For now I will use a trial version, but after I'll post/link to tutorials on how to do it without Visual Studio and some initial steps for Windows Mobile development.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/WiMoSansVS.aspx Is a good starting point...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Hi everyone,

Thanks for filling in the poll. There are plenty on here who would like to know how to get started etc with manila, windows mobile development etc.

Short of writing a "how to" which covers everything, which I don't have time to do at the moment, what do people need/want to know to get them started???

This thread can be a simple Q&A section if people need help with the initial steps...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tunay:
I would love to help but I have too much going on for now :/
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
This thread may not get noticed but since I started it to talk about and get developer interests I will post here anyway.

Since I've released the latest version of the facebook tab I have started work on my 2nd Tab Project. (Still developing the facebook tab v2.0 too).

The new tab will work along the same lines as Custom Manila Interface Tab concept but for now I have a specific application in mind. Hopefully we can keep this one open and the basis of the tab can be extended and reused to form other tabs working on the same principles.

So what do I need?

Well I have the very basics of the tab working, so I need some windows mobile developers to assist with creating a supporting app which will feed the data to the tab. They will need to handle xml data and potentially HTTP GET requests (I guess), we can go as fast or as slow with it depending on the developer(s) (I've got some ideas on how to start off slowly just like I did with the facebook tab, so beginners would be able to do it, they just need time and willingness to learn). I might start writing it myself but my time is limited and it would be nice to have this tab open to everyone (unfortunately I get too attached to my code/ideas when I've been working on them too long so want to avoid getting in too deep with that part - that is what happened with the FbTab).

What is it?

Not quite ready to announce what the tab will be but I've carefully chosen a good project.

What now?

PM or post here and I'll get back to you.

I'm not sure yet how this will work, but probably create a google code project so that anyone can contribute. Will create a developer thread for the project and once things are up and running a release thread to handle the releases/support etc.

Ideally, this project will be open as possible and allow new developers to have a go. There is plenty which can be done, by all ranges of skill levels. It would be excellent to have a wiki attached to the project which explains how it is put together etc, would be great to provide a stepping stone for future developers to get working with windows mobile and sense.

Also need suggestions on where to host the project, GoogleCode, CodePlex etc require change management software which I'd like to avoid. Perhaps something like 4shared maybe or dropbox?

New to Winmo developement, but willing to seriously learn

meltwater,

I am new to the Winmo developement, but am taking it up in a serious manner. I am willing to take on new tasks with some support. I have the full version of Visual Studio 2010 and can allocate alot of time currently to any projects that you are looking for. Again, I would need to have some support, or be pointed in the right direction, but am very willing to assist. I will do what research I can and ramp up to begin as soon as possible.

One note..I am currently enrolled in school for programming, part of the cloud of programmers that work with Microsoft through VS 2010, and am working to become more proficiant with the WinMo SDK.

Can I help?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
That sounds perfect, just the sort of thing I'm after.

I'm no where near being expert anyway, as I've mentioned a few times, the facebook tab is my 2nd windows mobile app, the 1st being "hello worlde", however I've learned tons doing it and I think it's not too bad (a lot of it is still unreleased). I have a long background in embedded software though.

One thing, visual studio 2010 is no good for windows mobile development, it only supports windows phone 7 not windows mobile (MS killing WM dev much?). Fortunately you might be able to get a FREE student licence via MS Dreamspark, although sounds like they might be able to provide what you need. The work I am doing is in C#.

I put together a little of the support code for the tab last night and the concept appears to work fine. I'll start up a project thread soon, still trying to work out what is the best place to hold/manage the code, want to avoid change management systems:

I don't want to install extra software to handle it

It creates an extra barrier to people having a try

This means codeplex, sourceforge and gogglecode aren't suitable. At the moment 4shared seems like a good choice (simple online storage area) or DropBox which I also use (which could be easiest).

Opened up the developer thread, project details will come soon.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mxdadevolper:
Sounds Great!! I'll be looking for the thread and details. I also have been working in C#, so I think that we'll learn alot together.:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] eboelzner:
Count me in... can supplement SenseSDK if needed!

Ed
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Hopefully a lot of the new tab will be within sense itself with a hidden support app to drive it, although later on it will probably use the SDK for configuring and managing things. Although that is only a rough idea at the moment. (will send you some details - will update the dev thread tomorrow and announce the project).

However, the facebook tab v2.0 is attempting to make extensive use of your sense SDK and greenhacks extended controls. I've currently pushed my ability to the limit with the interface though, hopefully when greenhack releases the latest extended controls I can fill in some of the missing holes. Still experimenting with the GUI aspects and possible concepts for how it should work. Will have think about the GUI again, there are a few areas which I've not quite been able to do what I was aiming for, which the Sense SDK might be modded to achieve.

I'm kinda aware though that a lot of the effort to implement the features for the facebook tab v2.0 will already be done by the Xda Facebook app being produced (so eventually we may tie it in to the tab after v2.0). The new project will hopefully help me expand what I can do with sense and allow better integration of apps.

Thread has all the files ready to go, just not sure what people are waiting for...is it that scary?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] phalacee:
Really?

Why on earth would you want to avoid Source-code Version Control? SVN, GIT, and even CVS are an absolute God-send to any development group. i can see one or two pro's to avoiding it if you're the only developer on the team, but any more than 1 dev contributing code to a project turns it into a nightmare without a SVC ...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Well can't that be handled by a decent web-based on which does it on the server side?

I know you are totally right, version control is very important (I've used many on a professional basis), but do I really need to force all the developers (and myself) to install full SVN programs?

I was hoping there would be a web based version control system which allows you to check in/out files purely using a web browser.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...I've only used closed corporate solutions before so new to open-source.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mxdadevolper:
CVS idea

Guys,

Can we use CodeBeamer for something like this? From what I'm reading this might allow us the versioning control. It could be downloaded for free for up to 6 users.

Any thoughts?

Here's the link for the version that I was thinking of.

This may be a little off topic since it's not a tab, but I would love to learn how to create weather animations. I think it would be excellent to somehow create animations that would give you info based on sunset times. I find it a little annoying that you have a bright sunny animation because it was a sunny day but the sun is no longer out. I have no manila experience :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Don't know anything about the weather animations (or how animations are handled within sense overall), but I know there are some mods around for them (different colours for the clouds). If you update your weather at night you do get a moon instead...

Also there is an improved weather tab about which may have better animations (I've not tried it though).

Anyway, if you do find out some useful info then please post it on the manila tutorial thread, would be interested to hear about it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Oh simple as that (ok not simple but could be worse I suppose)!

I might try to have a play with animations, I've avoided it since I guessed it was complicated and required pre-rendering of the animations or some serious coding behind them. If nothing else it would be nice to enable the siding across type view for something like the RSS Tab to go between views. Even a simple updating spinning icon would be useful. I'll have to find time to have a go and see if I get anywhere.

OK, I'm getting ready to buy a backup app...

Which one should I go with? From my testing with the free versions, Titanium doesn't do anything and MBP works. (I'm sure this is user error, Titanium wouldn't get the love it does if it only backed up what I've been able to back up with it.)

Why all the love for Titanium? When I try the free version from the market, all it wants to do is back up "Country, Language, Time Zone" and "Wi-Fi Access Points". Kinda useless. It tells me it read all my app data, but those two options are just settings. I'm not seeing a way to back up any apps at all. The amount of time it spends backing up also indicates it's not doing much.

On the other hand, the version of My Backup that I'm testing does a good job with backing up my apps and restoring them, along with their associated data.

I see Titanium getting all this love, so I KNOW I'm missing something.

What exactly is it that I'm missing?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] feld:
Did you click "Problems?" and install busybox directly from Titanium first?

Also, when you buy Titanium the hypershell makes restoring apps nice and easy as it automates it completely. I don't know if MyBackupPro does this.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] subliminalurge:
Yep, I did that. From what I've read it downloads it's own busybox and doesn't interfere with the one the rest of the system uses, so I automatically do that each time I install it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blulitespecial:
I just had the same problem with TB. I figured it's cause of my A2SD. But, I want and tried the trial of MBP and it works great. I may just buy that one.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] OtisFeelgood:
I just installed MyBackup and I tried to back up my apps but I get an error that says "Error during Backup: Error opening DB". Anyone know why I'm getting that error?

Edit: Nevermind, got it working.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VirusZer0:
Yes you got that error message because you were probably connected to you PC via USB and your SD card was mounted so your phone was unable to read it, just so you know!

The donate version of Titanium Backup is awesome! I could not go on without it!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] srkmagnus:
When using Titanium to backup apps will they show up in the market as 'my downloads' once re-installed?

I've used Astro to backup apps and unfortunately, they don't show up in the 'my downloads' when re-installed to the phone after switching over to new ROMs that require complete wipe. So knowing when an update is out for the app is a bit of a hassle.

**Edit**

found a review online that says the downloads will show up in the market with titanium. Might give it a try.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] smoother2010:
i use sprite backup and it works great!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blehzz:
titanium (free) didn't restore my market links to show up in downloads. using latest version and all of my backed up apps show smiley+M
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] srkmagnus:
Yeah, the market links are only available with the donate version. Considering I only use about Four apps on a regular basis I might not be getting the paid and just re-download the apps if I ever do a wipe. Google backs up pretty much everything else and there is a free text backup app available in the market that gets the job done.

Recommendations for newcomers

Use a HaRET SD-card based installations first!

This way you get an understanding of how Android works and what you can expect of it. Several builds have almost 100% support for everything on your Kaiser but some things missing might be a deal breaker for you!

NAND based installations offer more performance!

Instead of using the slow but highly versatile SD-card as a starting point when running Linux and Android, you can get a huge performance boost by using a NAND-based installation.

We want a sticky FAQ thread!

Yes, we definitely do! All the other forums got one, we want one too! It would be great if we could give, perhaps most of all, our newcomers a good starting ground to get them going. Right now we're scattered all over with instructions, guides, tips, tricks, experiences and Beelzebub knows what, that would fit so much better in a sticky at the top! Right? Right!
