No prob m8...

Here its the final (i hope) LOL
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Thank you! Looks good.

OK, nearly there, sorry there won't be that much time for beta testing things, hopefully just format checking the language files will be enough...no time to check them all now.

Just gonna convert the 5E0EA458_manila sk-sk (pa3x) (OK) - whitespace issue! file now.

OK, details from Programmer's Notepad:

35452D58_manila (EN-UK)

Line Endings:Unix(LF)

Encoding:UTF-16 Little Endian

5E0EA458_manila (SK-SK)

Line Endings:Windows (CRLF)

Encoding:UTF-8

Now it's clear why the file size is different! 8bit chars verses 16bit chars. This format will probably apply to the tab control file too!

Fortunately, Programmer's Notepad has these properties listed as drop-down boxes (works a treat!). I've not tested it but it checks out fine in win-merge now.

@meltwater:

i have running your last release from (15. July) without any issue.

I have send the cab files via PM. I hope we are ready today, uff.

Today was a very hard day, amny people with so many wishes in the new

project. The code checking from 20 people, uff. But now i have reached my

weekend and i hope i can sleep some hours ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Enjoy the weekend! Have a good well deserved rest.

French translation

I found some typo on it. Here is the new one :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
added to post#4. Thanks.

PS:

Language file updates, can you update your files to the ones from the thread, I've checked through those and removed the duplicate DISCARD_SETTINGS and removed any extra formatting.

I'll revise the release package in a few days.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
@meltwater:

i have read in the 1st post that..Version 2. developing starts here...

Uff, you have speed ..:eek:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
I switched back to my development code on the day of release! V2 is an interesting one, & will be another huge step hopefully.

Gonna take a ton of work, particularly if I can implement most of whats on my drawingboard. Like v1.5 not quite sure the form it will take or how to get there, but thats the fun of it afterall.

UPDATE BETA TESTERS:

I've just updated the landscape script [33A980DD_manila] so would be good if anyone fancies testing it, although no real rush (just a background task).

- Please check a range of ways to switch to landscape and see if the top gap is now removed and the status messages extend across the full page.

[My rom is only set to manual rotate and it doesn't appear to work everytime, but then my ROM is in need of updating and doesn't function perfectly for most things]

>> OK, needs changes to both scripts, files updated.

Also updated for the My Status Transfer method within the main script [090EF4F3_manila] too (aim to cut down the number of calls to the registry transfer == jumpy scroll I think). Not totally convinced this is the issue, so let me know if there is any difference. Not as many calls as I expected, but watch out for an old status being displayed more than before...might need the calls after-all.

Also unable to stop the re-rendering of the icons each time the page is opened etc...I wonder if you replace the icons with smaller ones if this would speed it up...

[Simple to test: Replace file in windows dir, delete manilafull.xml, disable and then re-enable sense via Today Page (settings->Home)]

MAX SENSE:

Asked the Max Sense guys about Max Sense widgets, it would be great to be able to feed into a widget too if possible.

NRG ROM:

I see the NRG rom has been updated with the fb tab! Sweet, just need to put some time aside to flash my phone (at last!).

V2 Dev:

I've been playing around with adapting Greenhacks SensePanelItemEx controls and putting my test code in, oh oh it looks nice...just slight problem it keeps generating Out Of Mem exceptions (down to the sense list it seems).

Will still keep playing though, hopefully Eboelzner will return to his SenseSDK and help fix it, otherwise may return to trying my own custom control...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
v2 Development...

The good:

So far it is moving along very nicely indeed (tempted to PM some screens (if anyone is interested), starting to look nice already). Still playing around with the GUI and transferring the functions I have working into it. Lots to do, but happy with the results so far.

The bad:

Still having an issue with Sense SDK and out of memory errors and the author Eboelzner is AWOL at the moment (hopefully just temporarily). The new stuff just use a lot more items in the Sense list than the setting pages did. Unfortunately it kills running the app etc until soft-reset so a bit of a pain for now.

The ugly:

My test code...but will clean that up.

v1.5 Fixes...

Anyone tried out the files yet? Just interested to know if they are any better/worse (since I'd only edited the last post, I doubt everyone saw them).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
@meltware:

No sorry, there was no time to test something. Very busy wit my day job. But in the evening i can download it and testing.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
That's ok. No problem, I should focus more too, got work to do!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
@meltwater:

so test is done and it looks good. No issue. Only one thing...

...but that is GTX and CHT related.

If you have selected a portrait background, then the landscape background is black.

If you have selected a landscape background, then the portarit background is black.

Which other things i must see, or i don' t must see with this update?

Some advise ot hint? Do you need a screenshot?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Yeah I've found the background is black too, but that appears to be a feature for all the rotated tabs in my ROM at the moment (the background is just not displayed).

I sometimes see that the items which were present on the tab before rotation don't extend across the screen, until they get re-drawn. However, this may be due to my ROM at the moment and the issues I have with Out Of Memory in my test app instead (it does all kinds of things to the graphics).

The other change is more subtle, since I've removed a few of the places where the transfer of the registry takes place (i.e. the text transferred from where the facebook.dll drops it in the registry to where sense is able to read it). So just need to check for circumstances where your status has been updated on facebook but not on the tab.

Won't need a screenshot, if all appears to be ok.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
Ok i will have an eye on it. So far i have seen nothing. But i have to go back to work. Today some very important goals for the anti water wall are done, yes, yes.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Facebook has released a C# SDK for facebook GraphAPI on 16th July.

I shall have to look into this, shame I've got quite far with my own now...oh well.

Ok, it's for desktop only I think, still might be a useful reference all the same.

Also anyone interested in creating the Icon for app? Details on the main thread...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
So far no problems. But i have only 2 friends in the tab. Strange, all of them are in the contacts. What's wrong with this? Have the friend todo some special things or something wrong in my settings in facebook? Mhh, a good question i think and the glass ball is broken :D.

BTW:

the new avatar is the youngest of the twins (in september 2 years). She looks vey, very angry because daddy has sayed: no this computer is only for pappa and the delete button is strongly forbidden :D.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
I guess you had more before and nothing else has changed. I've always had some contacts missing from mine, but I've just assumed it was the privacy settings. Interesting if it has changed though, could be something else.

BTW: Very cute, 2years x twice the trouble! Watch out, whatever button you let them use they'll find a way to use it to wipe everything...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
She, Isabella-Victoria, is very clever for here lifetime. She knows to use the mouse. She knows to switch on the server with the Bob de Bouwer films (main power). And she knows that we play the films on the TV. She must have switched on the TV in the weekend and i come back from outside and i was wondering what for a strange noise. Bob de Bouwer was running. I think she's now daddy's baby at all :D:eek:.

It can be luck to get this running but i have switched off all the things on hour later. Then my wife and me we have get some coffee and i say: wait for her, she will switch on the TV. Every time when she had powered on one part a very big smile over the face and at the end she took my hand and say: daddy tv aan...bob kijken... daddy TV on .. come bob looking.

I am afraid about the things that are comming now, aaahhhhh. The next time i'll take a video. I hope the next weekend. It is unbelievable but real. My little clever girl :). Now i am very proud ;).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
And some news again about the FBtab. Yesterday i have seen this (screenshot) the first time. Yes this is what the doctor says to me. This is way i think. Get all the important infos on one page.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Not sure what you are saying here. Are you saying the contacts are now there or not?

I've just put MaxSense on my device at the moment, giving it a go, although I don't think I'll keep it as the Tab Slider is gone and that is the whole point of sense really. Shame, the home screen itself is very nice and widgets are fantastic.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
It is only the screen. I have seen this the first time. I mean the birthday of a little place of nature here in my neighborhood. I have birthday dates in my facebook contacts, but i have seen this the 1st time, that's all.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] qitt:
Oh sorry, I didn't understand you clearly. In fact missing icon on slider is an absense 357374E7_manila or 5D4F2200_manila.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Captain_Throwback:
Wait - I think I found it - I didn't use both updated files from the first page. let me add the "1F04C842_manila" file and see if the icon works. In that caase, I may not need the "357374E7_manila" files after all.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] etoy:
357374E7_manila isn't used nowhere.

5D4F2200_manila (icon_off) controls both slider icons in non-patched 59B632C0_manila file (error in mode9 file which had the icon_off reference twice)

the corrected 59B632C0_manila controls both 5D4F2200_manila (icon off) and 1F04C842_manila (icon on).

---

here are all the updated files:

59B632C0_manila (corrected fb mode9 file)

1F04C842_manila (icon_on)

5D4F2200_manila (icon_off)

6BEE887F_manila (rearrange tabs fb icon)

hope it's quite comprehensive.. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] qitt:
etoy

Yes, thanks. Now everything is clear. I miss all news. :D

I still use old version.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] etoy:
we all had a nice team work,which results in a full working set of icons :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Tested the files, all good for me.

Updating the release thread now, with update zip and release zip (adding the new language files too).

Good work!

Ok all done. v1.01 ReleaseD updated with the latest set of files, ready for cab/ext updates (thanks Captain_Throwback).

All-In-One Cab has been spotted!

pocketnow.com Facebook Tab for HTC Sense 2.5: All-in-one CAB Available

http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/facebook-tab-for-sense-25-all-in-one-cab-available

Let me know when the update is included and I'll post the CAB! Excellent job guys.

Now I've got to get cracking with the rest of it. [The expand/collapse view is looking good]

Ok, been trying to get Visual Studio 2008 to work, but can not get any items to appear on the toolbox with a form! Trying to reinstall my SDKs etc but no good, really encouraging for a trial period!

Not gonna be on much over the w/e but here's some things you can look at perhaps (sorry system's engineer in me doesn't want to waste your interest & skill, the developer in me is still keen to learn by doing - hopefully can balance the two, just need to learn some more skills):

1. You can experiment with application calls, by adding reg entries:

"Facebook.LaunchApp3"="contacteditor.exe "

"Facebook.LaunchAppArgs3"="-me"

"Facebook.LaunchWebSel"=dword:3

contacteditor.exe -me will take you to your contact card, at the bottom you can update your status via "HTC Sense"

I've already tried a range of args but no luck in linking to the update page directly.

contacteditor.exe -me

I may have missed a trick...would be nice to make use of it.

2. Facebook Test Console

http://developers.facebook.com/tools.php?api

Had a play myself, some calls require authorised/loggedin application while others don't - I've already got a test app linked for testing it (I'm guessing general rule, viewing is ok, changing stuff requires authorisation which is fair enough). A key thing I would like to get is the number of notifications, as you get on the webpage, that in itself would be an easy thing to display which gives a good indication of activity to check online. Due to manila being a pig, it will take time to put the api stuff in even when we have the exe/data available.

I've yet to try any of it via an WM app, as I still having the issues with Visual Studio.

3. Locate Sense Fb data storage, not looked at this much, but it may save duplicating data to download (although will still need to access it). I've spotted bit of the albums/contact photos laying around and I'm sure there is a store of the data it downloads for the tab (I wouldn't be surprised if it downloads more detail than it uses).

4. Need to crack how sense works with lists and different objects, such as the tick boxes on the settings page and the drop down boxes on calender settings page (tried to use them for our settings page). I don't think I was too far off, but still need to understand quite how it fits together.

Have a good w/e everyone!

I tried applying some of these to Energy rom to fix an issue with a slider I was installing and since the rom already has the tab it did not work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mr.Dome:
Hi, good software but i have still problem with text color. :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Are you using sense 2.5.192x?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] qitt:
What issue do you mean ? I also use Energy ROM.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tribis:
Energy ROM comes with a transparent slider and when I was making a regular slider the Facebook tab was the only one that would not show a slide-on image.

So I tried installing the facebook tab cab in order to remedy it since the beginning of this thread discusses this issue.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tribis:
In energy rom all the manila files are directly in the Windows directory and I tried copying them over but can't because access to replace the files is not allowed. I assume it is because something is in use.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] NateReal:
is it possible to even create a myspace tab just like this one?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] outerdepth:
Worth a Shot

Maybe if you go to your home settings and disable sense, you could copy the files, since they won't be in use. Just an idea.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
It may also be because they are stored as ROM files. So far using active sync seems to avoid most issues with overwriting files for me.

-----------------

Does anyone have any idea how sense 2.5.192x is different to later versions, I'm guessing it's a difference in the internal file references. It's something which would be great to fix, but just don't have the time or the device to investigate it at the moment.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] qitt:
As you can see all works fine for me on Energy ROM.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
OK, I'm up and running with Visual Studio 2008 trial and making good progress with a decent settings page.

Here's a question which I hope somebody will be able to answer:

M$ have released, Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone.

Will this also work for windows mobile 6.x development???? Logic would say it would, but we all know how M$ and logic work out.

Ideally I can get an answer before my trial period runs out and I can decide if I need to get full version of Visual Studio 2008 Pro or not.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tribis:
I ended up cabbing up those files and it worked out perfectly.

The last fix I need for energy rom (and I know this is not the thread) is a way to remove the date counter on the transition for the calendar so that I can completely cab up the slider and release it.

It is the GTX theme slider, but it has consistent size and quality between the tab icons as well as the transitions. And I made my own call history and facebook tab icons

You can have a look here.

Cannot replace manilafull_xml file

When I try and replace manilaFull.xml file it won't let me. It appears to be a readonly, rom file, does that mean, that I can't add in the facebook tab???
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
oh i see. unfortunately I didn't move the icon in the expanded view, but thats only minor (I avoided doing it since its hard to test if you can't see it), the code suggests there are other event icons but I've not seen any.

Hi,

I'm currently using "meltwater's Facebook Tab 1.5" (15. July 2010) coming with the ROM mentioned below these lines.

Everytime I want to update by pressing the "Update Now"-button in the tab I'm experiencing a complete freeze of the phone.

Even freshly flashed, multiply rebooted, with an established internet connection and trying the different authorisation methods the update freezes.

Any ideas or hints :confused:

HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)

ROM-Version: ★ WWE BLACKSTONE Energy ROM ★ Cookie 'Energy' style ★ OS 5.2.23673.5.3.7 ★ Sense 2.5.20161332.0 ★

ROM-Date: 20.Nov.2009

Radio-Version: 1.17.25.09

Protocol-Version: 52.69.25.37U

/EDITH SAYS: Oh, found this issue in the Main Thread... Anyway, can I help somehow?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Well as it happens I'm about to try that very same ROM so it will be personally tested by me!

I've tried the MaxSenseUI (nice, but I can't live without the tab slider), the Cookie Dinik (it looked nice, but I think they've over done the "shiny-ness" just makes everything difficult to see), so on to the normal cookie rom.

The tab has worked fine with the other roms, although, I have noticed that on the first update it takes ages if you have restored lots of contacts already with links attached and since the Update bar is not shown there is no feed back to the user that an update is happening. (It will take a long time since the HTC update is downloading all the contact photos for the linked contacts). Note for that part it's the HTC facebook code (so you need to be signed in via that), the authorisation methods is for updating your own status (and new bits to come).

I haven't noticed it freeze, although the end of the internal authorisation took a long time to finish and appeared to freeze.

Now I've moved onto a newer ROM I can address these niggles when I get chance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tr8000:
haha, same here! :p

Well, the first or initial update worked for me too, although taking a long time.

The freezing issue appeared after this update when initiating a "manual" update by pressing the Button: the "WM Working Circle" came up and I waited almost 2hrs till using the phone again and noticing that it just froze. As mentioned above all further tries (having much patience) turned out the same.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Facebook API Teaser

Oh well, will see if it does it for me or not. I have held off updating my ROM until I'd finished the current release, so now I am on the newer sense I can see the same issues as everyone else.

Facebook PHASE 2 - API Teaser

I mentioned that I had the facebook api working a good while back, here's a screen shot of my test code....was able to do posts, comments and likes...

Here's the work in progress...attempting to use custom sense SDK controls and improving the GUI somewhat.

I'm not sure yet if I am keeping the contact picture selector at the top or not, it may become a drop down, early days, trying ideas out at the moment.

Q: Would support for more than one facebook account be useful? For me I might find it handy to switch between accounts to test things out, would anyone else find it useful?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
About that: i have it all changed to GTX :). So i will publish the icons here. There 5 or 7 icons at all. But i have to do that from my home PC. I don' t have the icons here at my work (not today :D).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
first post ever :)

i got a lill problem, installation was smooth, and was able to verify the certificate in settings, but i dnt get updates from friends, the page remains blank, with my latest post at the top of the page.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Read the FAQ on post#2:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5959231&postcount=2

"I can't see any updates from my friends!"

Also, if you already have contacts linked (i.e. you've restored them from somewhere) the first update takes a long time (fetching contact pictures etc). Unfortunately the "updating..." message only shows when you have at least one update to show.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Yep something is not right with the Cookie ROM.

It appeared to work better on the Cookie Dinik ROM, although they are supposed to be the same!?! But it's not as smooth, I've also had freezes and even the internal authorisation didn't work on the Cookie ROM but it did on the Cookie Dinik ROM, so something must be different.

I'll see what I can do with it but something isn't right. Shame really since everything else on that ROM is great, really annoying!

UPDATE: The Dinik ROM is about the same, perhaps I didn't play around with it too much.

Will apply the updated files I was testing a few pages back and see.

29th July 2010

UPDATE2:

Applying the new files, the tab works far far better.

Currently on the Dinik ROM but will switch back to the other one now, although will have to wait until tonight to put the facebook contacts back on. Will then give that a test. Maybe release v1.5.1 some point next week to address this, if it works.

UPDATE3:

Switched back the Normal Energy ROM and now getting a freeze on every update (it's only a freeze of sense though, task manager works)! Interestingly it does it within the people update tab too, which means IT IS NOT THE FACEBOOK TAB CODE (I've not changed anything in there)! Something is different between the normal Energy ROM and the Dinik ROM which causing the problem.

I shall try to see if the dll is different (if someone can post the FacebookSDK.dll from a working build that may help).
