Gets me to think of uconvert .. pretty close :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Would it be an idea if the predefined converting options would be read from an XML file?

This way others can add to this list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ock:
Very nice looking app!

Btw just wandering which language do you use to program this on?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
I did this is VB.NET - basically what I learnt at uni but adapted for mobile.

Images were done in GIMP
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ultimasnake:
Hi there mate, welcome to the programmers world :) ... Here is a little tip to add more calculations without losing to much space:

Remove the = button, calculate on the fly. Saves you some space, and saves the user a click.

Add a dropdown with categories: Weight, Distance, Speed, etc....

Add a second dropdown which is filled with the items from the selected category: Inch/feet, Inch/cm etc

I didn't do much VB.net/C# lately, but with a little research it wouldn't be to hard to do, keep motivated! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orb3000:
Thanks a lot!!

very useful app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yabloracer:
Great program! But do you think you could add "sq.ft. > acres" and "acres > sq.ft." in the area conversions? I work in a landscaping company and those are my 2 most used calculations.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lecl0ne:
Very nice app :) But any chance to get a "currency" converter in it? And more languages too (french for exemple :D)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
MSS converter (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-mss-converter-v1-02.html) is what I used before this - it was designed for winmo 2003 or less, so it's not at all touch friendly, or even that good looking, but you could use it to get all the different conversion factors people are asking for very quickly - plus more other factors than you could even think of.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jackwidu:
VGA..

Would also be interested in VGA :)

Another idea: Why dont you make the width of the, great looking, buttons 50% and add another row? That plus xml support (for mor support) and multilanguage (will help with german) and you and your app will be faaaaaammmooooooouuuuss :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] heru:
Usefull and nice looking app :)

Looking forward for additional feature ....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nhvoltagenh:
something i would love to see is currency conversion
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
Future Updates

Alright...

Got a few requests, I'll address each one individually:

XML: Maybe. Too advanced for me at the moment, but given more time (i.e. end of year break), who knows...

Multi-language: Again, not at the moment, and unfortunately even less likely than XML. It would be too complicated for me at the moment.

More categories: I had a great idea from l3mm to have more pages and move between them to see more categories - this is something I can definately do - and hope to do so during my next holidays (month or so from now)

Currency: This adds a whole new level of complication, as the program would need to connect to an online database to get the latest conversion rates - waaaaaaay above me lol

Sq.ft > acres/acres > sq.ft: Easily done, I will try and do that as soon as possible. And if there are any other requests for conversions in the current categories, post them and I will try to do as many as I have time for

Thanks heaps for the support guys. I will say however, I am extremely busy at the moment, so please don't expect too much too soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yabloracer:
You updated your program just for me?? :D You are awesome, thanks! Works like a charm, I've already used it a couple times today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] youngsien:
any qvga version please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
haha, no probs, adding items to the existing categories is simple, it takes no more than 10 minutes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
Sorry mate, but QVGA would be too small to house the graphics. Unfortunately the screen needs to be quite large to make it possible to use the graphics I have. The smallest I reckon I can go is VGA, which I haven't actually made yet, so can't even tell you if that works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fAZernERo:
Hi paulmahone! :)

Congratulations for your SW: it really ROCKS!!

Keep it update.. with this simple and very touch/friendly interface.

Only try to add more categories.. as many of us have just suggested you.

Until know i used MSS Converter but as just noticed it is an old software with no touch support and without an attractive graphic as your..

If you'll be able to add currencies and some others.. a it will be a must have!! ;o)

NiceOne and congratulations again ;)

P.S. If in future you'll decide to add language support I'll be happy to translate what you want in Italian language. Btw I've subscribed this thread....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gjjh25:
Great app, would it be possible to do a true metric to imperial conversion, as i have never seen one.

i.e meters to feet or vice versa and cm to inch so the result would 25cm = 1 inch?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
gjjh25,

Thanks for supporting mConvert.

mConvert supports the conversion of Metres > Feet, Cm > Inches and many more metric/imperial conversions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
Update Notice

Please note, the current version (V.2) of mConvert still does not support VGA resolution. This is still however on my mind, so should be available soon. Hang in there :)

Hope you all enjoy the improvements in the latest version of mConvert!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gjjh25:
Yes it does, but what i meant was a proper conversion rather than a metric conversion i.e.

1m is actually = to 3ft 3in and 3/8

is that possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sonsonnnnn:
i would suggest adding some feedbacks when pressing the buttons . .. like small vibrations when pressing the keypads

althogether very nice though n i really like the UI =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
Hmm, I think I know what you mean, but unfortunately that wouldn't work (or at least I could not make it work). That's getting a bit complicated for me lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
I looked into this, but was unable to find any way of achieving the small vibrations in VB.NET. If anyone has any suggestions or sources of answers, please share :)

MConvert on Tinybook

Wonderful program that runs perfectly within limitations my device. My Tinybook T706, a CE6 mini-laptop is 800 pixels wide x 480 pixels tall, hence when I run the program I can see the area, length buttons, and part of the power button. But the bottom half of the program is chopped off or not displayed anyways.

I can enter the info via the keyboard, and calculates fine.

For instance, I input 5 as my input value, and selected sq/inch > sq/cm as the new unit choice in the second input box. I clicked on the equal sign and can just barely see the results...32.258 as my answer.

Just wish I could see the whole program. For me the only thing I need changed is the screen formatting.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goodalc0:
Thanks, lot easier to use this in the field than carry around a large calculator when i already have my phone on me.

I could help you to translate to german.

Hi Paul,

Just got around to downloading V2 and once again a great job! I'm glad it's still the finger friendly interface and with the added categories is now a very useful app.

Thanks once again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vm54:
Great!

hi Paul,

Really great app, thank you very much for sharing it.

In the temperature part, there is only conversion between °C and °F. Would it be possible to have also the conversion with °K (degree Kelvin = T°C + 273.2°C)

Last thing, for a pratical point of view, in the main menu, arrows are at the bottom of the screen, but in the conversion windows, return button is on the top left corner, I fell it quite disturbing (I know it's a good training for my thumb muscles... ;)).

Anyway, congratulation for your work.

Regards

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:

Thanks for the great feedback. I'll take note of the temperature conversion and add it at a later date - in my uni exam period at the moment :(

QVGA

Hi paulmahoney40

After searching through the net for like an hour, I found 2 decent unit converters

(1) is uConvert

(2) is mConvert

Unfortunately neither worked on my HTC Touch 2.

uConvert required a specific version of flash, and mConvert is WVGA

Any chance of making a QGVA version of mConvert please?

Hope you consider it.

LV

EDIT: I read your comment about QVGA on page 2, but like I said ... after almost ONE HOUR of searching the internet I only found your converter (mConverter) and uConverter to be finger friendly, simple and nice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adzman808:

can you please add converting of time? seconds, minutes, unix timestamp, microtime and so on? would be cool. so i can determine how many seconds i need in some programming language.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
Interesting idea for the next version, I'll keep that in mind.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jigners:
I'm surprised there is no Stone(British) - Kg conversion?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
I'll add it to the next version...any requests are usually added
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmknight:
Great little app! Would be very appreciative for ft/lb to in/lb and Nm to in/lb (and the reverse for both).

Also, a UI suggestion to help keep everything on one page (essentially) would be to make everything accessible via dropdown. So instead of several somewhat redundant ft/lb to whatever fixed choices, place "from" unit in one dropdown and "to" unit in another. To consolodate the various measurements use dropdowns for weight, length, etc.

Keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stcardinal:
4 megs? Can you look to reduce the size of the app? It's huge!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
Yeah I know, it's because of the graphics. It's either a good looking, but slightly larger app, or your everyday windows mobile interface.

Don't think there's much I can do I'm sorry.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iandy1:
Thanks for this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jono_l:
G'day Paul, firstly, thanks for making this great looking and very useful program.

Just throwing this out there though - would you consider (is it even possible?) having a user-customisable conversion database so that we can simply add whatever conversion units we wish to see, and/or edit existing conversion data?

For me, instead of having the full names displayed (i.e. metres/s), I'd much rather have the SI abbreviations for the units displayed (i.e. m/s). Whilst most others would probably prefer the full names displayed, having a user-customisable database would allow us to tailor the conversions to suit our needs.

p.s. In terms of torque, the correct units should be N.m and lb-ft (or ft-lb), not N/m or lb/ft :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulmahoney40:
jono_l

Thanks for the feedback!

I've had others suggest that...but i'm not actually a programmer, I only did it briefly for my uni course, so I'm not really able to do that myself. I know it's definitely possible though.

Thanks for pointing out the torque error ;) i'll fix that up when I get a chance.

Again, thanks for supporting the app mate,

paulmahoney40.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastoneleft:
Would it be possible to limit where it makes sense? eg celsius to Fahrenheit conversions... I tested the app 1st thing there, and right away, I found out that I cannot enter a negative number - however it works visa versa, when I use a negative result as input number so the app has the logic how to handle negatives, just the minus key is missing :D

Great work by the way, I love the design!

[General Questions and Answers] lutteur:
Hello everyone,

Can anybody explain how dual boot works.

Whether android is booted on top of windows mobile as some upper layer or does it rely on hardware as it is native OS installed. Is there any difference between native android phone and android booted from windows mobile, except missing some functionality?

Thanks

Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] xxThugxx @ TPB:
when you use heret to boot android winmo is shut down, then android runs as the native os, this is nessesary as without android being flashed to the devices rom there would be no way to boot it obviously. in theory if android is made stable enough on a device it would be possible to make an android rom for that device
[General Questions and Answers] ElCondor:
To add some additional information:

You are probably talking about the Gen Y dual boot software.

Gen Y dualboot is nothing more than an application that runs immediately after Windows is booted. So before you get to the dualboot, Windows is actually already booted.

Then, after pressing Android, Windows Mobile launches the Haret, by which Windows Mobile shuts down and the Android Kernel loads up.

So to have it in a schematic view:

-----------------------------------------------------Stay in Windows Mobile

Kernel WM --> WM booted --> DualBoot <

-----------------------------------------------------Launch Android Kernel --> Android booted

I can not find a good music app I like... Mixzing seems too bloated, Meridian is good, but the widgets are terrible... If they had a widget that was 1x4 or even 2x4 it'd be nice... but every one of them is x3... why?

TuneWiki seems decent, but the audio simply stops playing. No idea why. I can see that it's not stopping playing because the counter is still going, but there is no sound coming out of my phone. It's driving me mad...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fldash:
Well, I figured out what is happening... It's doing it with Mixzing too I was wrong. My display goes off, ~10s later my music stops. My phone is going to sleep I guess. When I wake it, it doesn't re-init the audio stream. Is there anyway to fix this?

Also, is there anyway to edit the low memory threshold before Android starts closing apps? As it is, I can't listen to music and tether at the same time because EasyTether keeps getting closed due to low memory. This is driving me mad...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fldash:
And, I have no task killers running... :( why or why...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Screen Timeout:

There is an easy fix for EasyTether timeout.

Go to "Settings > Applications > Development".

Click the "Stay Awake (screen will never sleep while charging" option.

Apps limit:

Go to "Dev Tools > Development Settings"

The 5th option down should say "No App Process Limit".

Check those settings and see if that helps.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fldash:
I figured out why Meridian only had 1x3 and 2x3 Widgets... I had adjusted my lcd density to 165. After changing it back to 160, they are width of 4. Very strange...

Also, now my music seems to be playing fine with the screen off. I closed JuiceDefender... I thought it only controlled the Wifi, 3G connections... I guess it kills playback as well...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fldash:
Unfortunately, I already had both those set... It will still kill EasyTether if it runs out of memory...

[Omnia II ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Thanks a lot for posting buddy. I am from India and my phone uses english language roms. The current rom i have is the stock WM 6.1 with following codes :

PDA: B7610DDIJ3

Phone: B7610XXIJ4

CSC: B7610INUIJ3

Can I use this ROM with my phone, will it be 100% safe and not void my warranty? Sorry, these are n00b questions but even though I am a seasoned WM user, I got my Omnia Pro just a few days back, so still gathering knowledge about it. In India, Samsung hasn't launched WM 6.5 update and they aren't giving any clue about when it will be available, I contacted customer care twice. :(
[Omnia II ROM Development] Davka:
It can void your warranty because it's not available in official ways.

The ROM is 100% safe but flashing it is not. There is always some chance of bad flashing (power shortage for example). But flashing PDA and CSC parts of ROM is fairly safe. Omnia has some features to recover from bad flashing of these parts. Eboot and Phone parts are more dangerous.

PS. This ROM has Swedish/Dannish keyboard layout.
[Omnia II ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hey thanks for the reply buddy. But I remember seeing it written somewhere that when we upgrade to the 6.5 ROMs (official), the Eboot/CSC gets updated and that is required for the 6.5 ROM to function properly. I am not 100% sure about it but still I have my doubts. Do you know anyone who has done the same ie. upgraded directly from 6.1 to 6.5 with unofficial ROM?

Also I wanted to ask that if I flash the MST file enclosed in the zip file, will it update the Eboot/CSC?

UPDATE: Got it. The MST does have the Eboot part, but not CSC. I extracted pda.nb0 using i900Extractor and used it. Worked absolutely fine, just the free ram is too low as my eboot is still using the 20 MB PP of 6.1. Plus the Widget interface is causing some problem. When I am selecting more widgets in Widet's settings menu, first the entries are being displayed in black (or maybe no text) and selecting any one of them is causing all the Widgets except digital clock to disappear. Will wait for the official update I think.

[Omnia II ROM Development] cappuccina:
Hi

Yes you can select german language after flashing, on your phones screen you can select languages and it will configure it for german use if you like.

But when you flash the CSC your keyboard might be messed up, as said above.

"PS. This ROM has Swedish/Dannish keyboard layout. "

I just kept my CSC from my german winmo 6.5 stock rom B7610NDBTIK5

but flashed everything else(eboot, pda and phone) and till now I have not had any problems and my keyboard is still german layout.

As it is version 6.5 the start icon is in upper left corner as usual.

Changes you can read in first post pretty much everything is said there.

Maybe two more things,

the messaging app has really been improved, you can type a lot faster and don't have to wait so long until the letter is recognized, which is good for people who can type fast.:p

and if you have a DLink router and had problems using the internet that is solved somehow. I was able to use Opera and open websites for the first time since i have this phone :rolleyes: although i still have no real stable connection. :(
