I believe it's 240x26 for (W)QVGA. I don't have a clue for 6.5.

BTW, do you know about Microsoft Device Emulator? The WM images are available free for testing apps in different resolutions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
You mean this? :D

And an other bug fixed with that messagebox in the second picture. ;)

(the bug was: when you changed the time settings, the new schedule applied only when you stop and start the scheduling, or at the next schedule when the change was done)

I reduced the time of the randomizing. Now at 3000 files it's about 10 secs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Hello Rapid,

just now you have two part of programs:

- Folder settings

- Options, in which you decide for which "product" you want to apply the wallpapers form already chosen folders.

Well, if you (we ;) ) need/want multiple folders you have to change (according to me) in this way:

- Instead of "Folder settings", List of "products", that is Manila, CHT, Today, Lock Screen, S2U2 etc. You can give us the chance to add our own "products", in my case G-Alarm or PowerRadio. So you first will choose the "product", then you'll finish in "options" screen, similar to the current one, with source folder choice in plus. For "custom products" we'll need to set the "destination" image/folder path.

Finally I would give a different section to choose for what "products" (you'll take the list from configured ones) you want the same wallpaper.

To fasten the configuration you could automatically put in a kind of "favorites" the already chosen source path.

In this way you'll be able to configure in an indipendent way every different wallpaper, for example you'll be able to change at 8.00 the G-Alarm wallpaper choosing from my abstract folder, every 30 minutes the Manila Home Wide one choosing form my 960x800 pics folder, every 2 hours the Lock screen ones, choosing from my personal pics folder.

Hope my idea it's clear :) And not too difficult to implement
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cunione:
Hi all !

Great apps I was looking for !

I don't know if someone already asked this, but a "fit-to-screen" option would be very appreciated ! (I don't want to resize all my pics one-by-one). ;) Eheh

Thanks in advance and good development.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcnascimento:
That's it. You're the men.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cunione:
I'm having a problem : my phone freezes when the "schedule" option is checked (after waking up from sleeping mode).

Hardware buttons are highlighted when pressing on it, but the screen remains black.

Any idea ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
What kind of schedule option, because there are no schedule option in this program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cunione:
"Schedule" means change wallpaper every x minutes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
Your idea is good, but that is let the user the possibility to screw the registry or any other settings related to his/her own "products". And the ordinary users likes the easy ways, because when they screw something, they may yelling at me. :)

The 1.4 is almost in releaseable state. After the release I'll start the work on a new Sense 2016 ROM and after that, I'll try to implement your idea.

Thx anyway!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
You mean when you start the schedule?

I need some other informations, like UI and other settings (change only in idle, start with windows, etc).

This is the changelog of the 1.4 version. I'm still testing it and searching for bugs before release.

A "Change NOW interface" added to select the needed UI to the change

Now the settings app shows the next time of the schedule

Random and continuously change setting added (you'll see randomizing popup window sometimes)

Intervals minimum set low to 1 minute with 1 minute steps

Besides the interval, now you can change the wallpapers at a specific time, like 8:00AM every day

The "back to the previous wallpaper" function is added and accessible with the "-prev" parameter and will change all choosen UI's wallpapers back to the previous one (not 100% if you use more than 1 directory for wallpapers storing).

The installer creates a "Change Now" and "Previous wallpaper" shortcut

Several minor and major bugfixes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Yes Rapid, I totally agree with you about user able to screw everything :) If you prefer people will yell to you, will you accept requests for "product"? :D

However I was simply thinking about taking a file from a source dir like now, with all the options already implemented, and let us choose the path/name of destination, for example choose a pic from my nature folder and copy it in "/My Documents", so nothing to do with registry etc etc.

Hope for 1.5 (that is before big changes :) ) you'll give us the chance to choose even from subfolders, and the chance to copy all files inside a folder to another folder (this would be handy for Manila files for clocks for example)

By the way, 1.3 isn't missing a hit, really wonderful program, and I tested practically all the previous ones!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cunione:
DAMN, it crashed another time during this night.

What to do ??????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
With this information what you provided, I can't help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gryphyn:
Just a thought, I have a progam running all the time for work that for some reason causes a random lockup if I change the wallpaper on the Today screen. Perhaps you have something like that going on? try to isolate the problem by (first say stop schedule to avoid bug) unchecking all but one place to change the wallpaper, then setting it to a fast interval like 2 minsand letting it run for a while. If no crash after an hour, hit stop schedule, change which location is switching, and repeat.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cunione:
The fact is.... that I don't know what's the problem ! :confused:

I stopped the scheduling... and it already crashed this afternoon... :(

I think I will uninstall WaPac to see if that program is guilty for crashing my phone ! :)

I come back later to tell you the result of that experience. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xborfi:
when will the 1.4 would release, I CANT WAIT FOR THIS AWESOME RELEASE!

also please do sth about the 5-15sec delay when dealing with 3000 and more wallpapers :) thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
Soon...

About the delay, you can rewrite the WM's file handling functions. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Diavire:
All this sounds quite good >)

Feature suggestion: Profiles

As in, having an easy menu where you can select a profile, and for each profile you can set a number of folders, so you can easily switch wallpaper types.

Question: how does the random thing work? The program checks a folder, numbers all files, then randomizes that so it never gives a wallpapers twice until all are shown, I presume? What happens when you add wallpapers to a folder in use?

Been using 1.3 for a while now and it's been great >)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
Yep. The program check the selected folders and create a randomized list for every folder. If you add wallpapers to any folder, you go to the settings and press save, then the program recreates the list.

About the profiles: You mean, you create a profile, select some folders and settings, save, then create an other profile, do the same, and you can switch between those?

1.4:

Can anyone help me how to create a .lnk with command line parameters with the installer? The PockePC Installation Creator, VS2008 and WinCE CAB Manager can't do this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ahkow:
I installed v1.3, but having problem to find my jpeg files. I am using HD2.

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
The program searches for .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .bmp files. What is the problem exactly?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ahkow:
It works now! I made a mistake, I didn't tick the box to select folder. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
1.4 uploaded, changelog in first post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Hello Rapid,

using 1.4 without any problem as usual, about all the new features I'm using only the random one.

Do you think you'll be able to put a 1.5 with the following request implemented?

- Ability to choose to pick photos only from folder or from subfolders too

After when you'll implement the multi-application folder choose it will be possible to add Manila Clocks, Suns, Moons, Clouds. My mortscript is working quite well, and Sun/Moon change without restarting Manila, while for Clocks a restart is needed.

However, it's something easy to add once solved the main problem :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ambious:
Thank you, loving this new release!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hskeik:
Hi Rapid,

Thanks for your nice work !!

I have an IDEA :)

can you support making wallpaper over the taskbar and softkey bar ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cunione:
Nice work Rapid !!!!

I'm interested too by the ability to choose only some files in a folder.

Because I've some folders with hundreds of files, and I don't want all of them to be shown. Yes, I can create a folder with only files I want, but it is just a suggestion.

Maybe you can implement a preview window ?

So, at this point, you have done a great work !

Let's go waiting for the 1.5. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
I don't understand this. Please explain.

Read back a few posts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] runwitme:
ok downloading it and going to try it on my CDMA TP .. will report back after im done .. :D

edit: seems to work great .. thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
Nice application.

If you are open for new request for a new version, I think the following will be fine:

1.- Image adjustment. Actually when an image is smaller than the size of the screen, the picture is show as "mosaic". It would be nice to have the 3 common options: strech, center and mosaic.

2.- An option to indicate if the images of a folder (or group of folders) must be random or sorted.

The second request, will be nice to use as a dinamic background. Haveing a folder with 24 images, and changeing them once an houre, you can adjust your background to the hour of the day.

Thanks in advance and nice application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cunione:
I totally agree with PDFC2003 (what a nickname ! :) ).

Very interesting ideas.

The first one is really boring. Actually I've to resize all my pics. So when you have 200+ images... good work ! :p

For the moment, a simple "center image" option should be appreciated. Resizing should be too complex because the program needs to respect the ration Height/Width? If not, the image will be deformed ! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
You can resize thousands of pictures with just a few clicks, if you use the IrfanView's batch conversion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ambious:
I modded 'Wapac.exe' with the Setting app icon, so that the "Change Wallpaper" shortcut now has a nice icon to it instead of the default winapp icon.

Just over-write wapac.exe in "\program files\wapac\" with this one, and restart sense and/or device to have the new icon appear.

Note: The icon is extracted from Wapac-set.exe, and it was all done with ResHack so there was no coding involved.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
I'm not saying that there aren't other programs that can do that. I just make a request for a new feature to give more value to the application.

I thought the idea of the forum was to make request of new features to improve somones application, not to give a 3rd application that can do what you need and leave the application as is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
Sorry, I don't want to hurt you. I can put it in the application, but the changing time will exponentially increase if you use this feature. Right now, I'm not even considered the new features of the next release. :)

I'm happy to have some people, who're give me ideas. ;)

And who let you to do something like this? If you may asked it, but you didn't! Do not modify my program! Who knows what kind of worm put you in it!

BTW, you don't need to modify the .exe to have an icon. Just need the png and a registry entry to pinpoint to the .lnk:

HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Change NOW.lnk or Previous Wallpaper.lnk

"Icon"="\Windows\wapac-icon.png"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
Thanks for your comments.

Regarding what I am doing. I did the following:

Created a folder name TimeLapse_1 and add it to the list of folders from where to retrieve the wallpapers

Set the change period to 30 minutes

Change the background of home

Exit the program

Edited the file WPCList1.lst (which I guest has all the pictures to show in the random order) and put the values 0..47 (sequencial, one number per line)

Depending of the hour, I edited the file WPCListNext1.lst and put the next number of the wallpaper that I wanted to see (o to 47 one of them).

Access the application and changed the wallpaper

Result: every 30 minutes I will have a new background from the list of wallpapers that represent a 24 hour timelapse, in other words, my background is what I see outside.

Can you confirm if the files where edited correctly?

Pictures retrieve from video: Palma de Mallorca's Bay, a 24 hour Timelapse (googleit to see it)

If you find some animation or video that would be nice to see as background, please letme know.

Thanks for the information.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
I think a simple example will be the best.

Let's say I've my /Storage Card/Wallpapers directory

Then I have wallpapers grouped by type, for example:

/Storage Card/Wallpapers/Auto

/Storage Card/Wallpapers/Girl

/Storage Card/Wallpapers/Nature

/Storage Card/Wallpapers/City

etc.

My idea is let us to choose /Storage Card/Wallpapers as folder and options to check in all its subfolder, so that random image can be one from Auto or Girl or Nature etc etc.

I hope it's clear now

Bye!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manbat:
Can you explain this a little more....

BTW, you don't need to modify the .exe to have an icon. Just need the png and a registry entry to pinpoint to the .lnk:

HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Change NOW.lnk or Previous Wallpaper.lnk

"Icon"="\Windows\wapac-icon.png"

===========================

Can you explain this a little more....I can't seem to get an icon this way?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manbat:
I figured it out...

I figured it out...It works. Had to navigate to the folder name I had the lnk saved in this registry location and then add the icon path in the lnk folder. Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
You add the lnk's name to the HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ as a KEY, inside that key, you add a string, named "Icon" and the Icon's value needs to be the exact path and filename of the picture, what you want as icon. After a softreset, you'll see the icon of the shortcut.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ambious:
I did it for myself and thought I'd share with the group, I never meant to infringe and I apologize for doing so without your permission.

I removed it from the board since you feel so strongly about it.

However, I would like to raise the point that this is a sharing community, and it works so well because people share and accept each others' ideas and contributions.

If every single program here was under suspicion for having 'some kind of worm put in it' as you said, this site would never have existed for as long as it did. I just think it's a bit paranoid.

My intentions were pure, and my methods pretty simple really (extract icon, insert icon - no coding involved).

But again - technically you are correct and I had no official right to change your binaries, and for that - again, I apologize.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
I accept your apology. :) I don't want to hurt you, but if you ask me, I would agree to it. Or if you let me know you want something like this, I'll do it myself. But, if you add an icon to an exe, the resolution of the icon will not good enough to our phone's resolution. The way I mentioned, the registry thing, accepts far better resolution pictures and that's adds more beauty to the screen. :) You can put the modified exe back to here, I allow it.

In the next release, I'll add icon to the .exe and I want to create the additional shortcuts with good resolution icons, just I need to learn the art of the setup.dll creating.

And again, I'm sorry if I was too harsh to you. ;) I don't mean it too seriously.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
Heres is a new timelaps that I made from the video: San Francisco Moonrise to Sunset Time Lapse.

After almost 48 hours of use, I found the following:

the block screen background changes fine a few times, but then no image

the start menu background chenges fine most of the times, but then no image

Tested in: Samsung Ominia 2 (original ROM) - Titanuim Home
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
I have Omnia 2 too, but I'm using my custom ROM. The no image means the background is not changing or you get a black image? Did you use the "start with Windows"? The official ROM needs a lots of softreset, maybe that is the problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
It's not a black screen, is more like a light-blue to black background. Also notice that in some cases when the screen is plays the lock screen animation, it doen't do a correct refresh, and looks like some partes of the images where left behind (i will try to get some pictures of it).

Could you see what I postes early about the files edited?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rapid81:
Yeah, that's correct, but if you put the needed files in one folder, you select that folder and use continuously order, then you'll get the 24 hours pictures.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
Thanks for the information. Worked perfect.

I notice that if you use a picture bigger thant the screen size, it will be set as center and when you rotate the home screen (with hard button rotate) the imagen is not cutted, and you see everything in the correct format.

Could be possible, to add a feature to selected the next image to set?? This will avoid the need to press "change now" until you reache the wallpaper that you wanted.

Grate program, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kjt57:
I have been using WaPaC for some time, great app. I have just updated to v1.4 and am having trouble, it will not change. On settings i have ticked Today, Manila and S2U2. Start with windows, change on windowsw start. I hyave selected Interval/minutes and 4.

Finally Doodle Jump seems to be come to life for the HD2

(http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-doodle-jump.html)

As I read about it, I was quite happy. But the App has two problems: it is in french :mad: and it comes without accelerometer.

Can anybody help to solve these problems?

Best regards,

Broetchen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NightFire123:
smae here, want to use accelerometer... and maybe english or german lang
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ClementNg23:
i just want the accelorometer support here...

having french seems like a good way to learn some forean language. ;)

off topic: anyone beat my 'low'-score of 17k points in this version of doodle jmp?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kampftier:
This is e beta, a pre-release Version.

just wait an other month (or more), then you can use it with the G-Sensor.

Seems it's normal for Android devices to have poor battery life. So us having poor battery life on our Kaisers is probably due to Android and not the porting of Android to Kaiser.

buddy of mine has htc hero the phone is awesome if I were on sprint I would buy one, but I have att. anyways his batery life is terrible thats his only complaint
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] leona:
Yes same here, a colleague at work has a Hero, gets a day's use out of it tops, another colleague has flahsed his with 2.1 and says its a lot better, plus he can underclock ther cpu when in 'sleep' mode to save more power, nice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] AciDCooL:
How is the app called that can underclock in sleepmode ?

thx in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] leona:
My colleague isn't in today, so can't ask him, but a quick google search suggested an app called 'SetCPU' this you can set max and min frequencies at, not free I don't think, but .99p not bad :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Actually the poor battery life is a combination of android's power management and the result of us hacking it into hardware it wasn't designed for, however the point is still valid, and is partially due to the differences in the OS itself, which, being linux underneath, has a lot of stuff ticking away unseen.

Best practice, from my experience, is to just plug it into the charger at night, and use it wisely, putting it to sleep when not in use, killing tasks, and not using high drain functions unless needed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ssj4sunny:
Yea the battery life is dreadful on the android even whilst running on NAND thingy. Before I went sleep it was 81%, when I woke up (i only had a 7hour sleep) it was 65% :|
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
errrr, 81% to 65% drop in battery really isn't that bad, honestly, when you sleep, your kaiser does not, there are always a few tasks running.

However I usually put my kaiser on charge while I sleep, and I feel it's a good habit to get into with android....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
I also do that sometimes, although I have read many places that charging Li-ion batteries more than they need can lead to shorter battery life. I know the batteries internal circuitry cuts the power off at 100% and recharges again when the batterys discharged a bit but from what I've read the best way to do it is to only charge when your battery is discharged a significant amount. I know they're not supposed to have that memory effect, but so many places with different information and I just cant make out which is right and which isn't. Makes me nervous when I'm unsure about small things like this... :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Have heard this also, but never had any issues so far, however everything has a limited life, one day my battery or my kaiser will die, i'd prefer it to be my battery ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ssj4sunny:
Ah I think I might just switch back to WM6.5 < my battery lasted for so long even when i used it lots. Though once android has a better battery life, I will come back to it! Lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] robuser007:
I've always read that's your Li-batteries are best when fully charged all the time (if possible). I never had any battery problems in life.
