[Windows Mobile Software Development] Toolmaker:
I recently picked up my habit of meditating again, and found it rather difficult to meditate for a while without losing track of time or reaching my intended quiet time.

Thus, I have developed MeditationTimer for this. A very simple 1 screen timer that allows you to set the number of minutes you wish to meditate and start it. When the sound option is selected it will play a sound after finishing and go back to the start screen.

Looking for some feedback on how the GUI works and scales on various phones, as it's my first WM application ever. Developed on a HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5

Requirements:

- .NET CF 3.5

- Windows Mobile 6 (6.1, 6.5)

- 1MB of storage

Features:

- Simple to use Sense SDK GUI

- Plays a gentle sound upon completion

Features to implement:

- Delayed start

- Run in unattended mode with the screen turned off

- Display a different form when meditating only showing the time left and a cancel button.

- Configurable sounds

Current issues:

The application currently calls SystemResetIdleTimer() while running, which obviously drains the battery way more than required, as meditating doesn't require you to interact with the phone. I did that so I could already start using it myself, instead of postponing it until I figured out how to get it to run in unattended mode.

Secondly: It plays a stock Microsoft sound taken from Windows 7, embedded as a resource. Obviously not the best sound, but it does the job for now. I do need to replace it.

And thirdly: It's a single screen application. Meaning that everything it does is a bit cluttered as it all happens in the main form where you can start a new session. I'm currently working on this to separate that out, and have a more tranquil second screen just display the time and a stop button.

Thanks, I would love this app if it had multiple timers, with a simple layout like :

[Windows Mobile Software Development] FrancisB1:
That sounds great (and a great idea too).:)

Thanks to have developped that.

A way that I would like it to work (not for meditating, sorry) should be to hear a beep every past hour (but not at night), maybe is it possible to implement your prog this way.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lucvangestel:
after using it I had to reset the phone

Hi

I like your idea of application, I would like to use it frequently,:)

but after trying it I had to reset the phone, before I could do other things,

the program would not shut down, the button turn of screen did not work.

after the soft reset, when trying again, it did not shut down.

maybe good idea is to have a button with the choice to block all incoming phonecalls, or block all other sounds maybe?

also different sounds would be great.

I am using hd2, with original latest rom, and spb shell 3.5.

I'm using already a long time, if you will include the functionality of this program I will test it out. The screenshoots of your program looks already nice.

Best regards and good luck !

badass app!!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] SpinalRemains:
I used this twice since install. Both times were 15 mins. The program worked just as it should on Sprint TP2, stock ROM. I really like it. Very simple and functional.

- The pic on the XDA page advertising the app would be perfect for an icon! :D (There was no icon in the .cab, right? :confused:)

Hard / Full reset

Are you still having a problem with your Viva? If so maybe you could try to hard reset (full reset) your device. This is not the same as hitting the red reset button on the underside of the phone.

Here's a link that explains both the soft reset and hard reset of your phone.

[General Questions and Answers] stevebarron:
Most of the latest smartphones and upcoming phones appear to have capacative screens and they seem to be the preferred type. However, I still use a resistive screen and I recently borrowed an HTC HD2 with capactive screen and I was not that impressed.

Certainly, they do resopond to a lighter touch but for me that was an irritation as I would regularly accidentally touch/select something by mistake. My Touch Pro2 resistive screen does not require much more pressure on the screen but just enough that it is hard to select something accidentally. I also like to use my finger nail to select which of course you cannot do with a capactive screen. Selecting some of the smaller menus in Windows Mobile is quite difficult on a capactive screen.

The other reason I like using my finger nail is to minimize finger marks on the screen. I noticed when using a capactive screen that it was covered in finger marks very quickly.

So, are capactive screens really "better"? I have held off upgrading my Touch Pro2 as I do not think that capactive screens are better than some of the latter resistive screens. However, it seems that if I do want to upgrade my phone in due course I am going to have to go with a capactive screen.

Maybe my Touch Pro2 will serve me for a while longer yet!
[General Questions and Answers] tolis626:
Well,first off,windows mobile isn't so finger friendly.If you use android with a capacitive screen it's much more pleasant.Secondly,capacitive screens allow the use of better materials like glass,which are more scratch-proof(see HTC HD2 and knife video at youtube to see what I mean),offer better image quality and phones using capacitive screens can be thinner.There is more,but that's what I can think of now!

Hope it helps! :)
[General Questions and Answers] cmstackar:
It depends on what you're using it in, but I prefer a nice resistive screen over capacitive: almost as sensitive, and you can use a stylus. Although I have yet to see a multitouch resistive screen on winmo.
[General Questions and Answers] maxpower097:
Yes capasitive is way way way better and more responsive. You can't stylus it in fine detail like a resistive LCD but the capasitive screens are super sensetive and you don't have to hit the same button like 3 times. On the other hand if you looking to hit a tiny small little spot its sometimes kinda hard with the capasitive LCD, but can be done with a lil practice and knowledge of how it works.
[General Questions and Answers] PoisonWolf:
I tell people to get the HD2 over any old winmo phone even if it's just for the capacitive screen.
[General Questions and Answers] developing:
Windows Mobile and resistive screens always went together because resistive screens supported stylus input, necessary to hit WM's ridiculously small buttons. Nowadays Android, iOS, and Windows Phone 7 have been re-imagined with finger usage in mind and a capacitive touchscreen is by far the best way to control a phone with just your finger. Personally, I never liked the "feel" of resistive screens, whether I was using a stylus or my finger; it's hard to pinpoint exactly what I mean, but when I switched to capacitive I had no desire to return to resistive.

All that said, resistive is still the king for any sort of handwriting recognition or things that require the precision only a stylus can supply.
[General Questions and Answers] Snowtoad23:
Yeah once you try capacitive properly you'll never go back... being able to TOUCH not PRESS is so much better, makes the touchscreen interface much more pleasant. Its better for not just pressing, but sliding etc.

Not to mention mulitouch
[General Questions and Answers] gsvnet:
Although not winmo, a good device that I'd consider an upgrade to a Touch Pro2 with a resistive screen is the Nokia N900. It's sensitive enough that a fairly light touch works fine, but not overly that accidental touches will register.

I do personally like capactive screens though, on most phones.
[General Questions and Answers] topher:
I'm a fan of resistive screens, if you are using VNC etc to control a desktop machine

from your phone you really need a stylus.

For everday phone use capacitative is better..
[General Questions and Answers] Ca5c4d3:
Problem with the HD2 is that the screen sensitivity is very high, especially in the 1.48 ROM that most devices ship with. I am using a custom ROM and then I also reduce the screen sensitivity using BsB Tweaks and precision is very good.
[General Questions and Answers] RoryB:
I wonder if they will come out with a capacitive screen pen to be able to use handwriting recognition on the newer screens. I am old school and did not learn typing, so I am a multi-finger hunt and peck kind of guy when I type, although with only being able to use two thumbs or less on the phones pop up keyboard I do not think I would have too much trouble if I lost the ability to handwrite. I just find writing more natural. I really like my handwriting recognition on my Fuze.
[General Questions and Answers] Biges:
It's WM fault, not screen fault. Try high-quality restive screens with Symbian (N97), no need to re-hit :)
[General Questions and Answers] mx597turbo:
My vote is for resistive. Most productivity software (like Excel Mobile) works MUCH better with a stylus. I can comfortably and accurately work with EM at 50% zoom on a Fuze. Except for dialing and SMS, I use the stylus for everything. No matter how sensitive capacitive is, you will never be as accurate with your finger as a stylus.

I'm just getting a tp2 now. I think it's going to be my last phone for a LONG while. I need a resistive screen and slideout keyboard, since my only concern is being productive with productivity software. I don't know of any phones in the works that offer the combination I need.
[General Questions and Answers] tolis626:
Well,when speaking about hardware and screen size like the Hero's then yes,resistive might be more accurate(for me not better at any rate),but when speaking about high-end phones,such as the Desire(Classic,HD and Z) or the Galaxy S,with so much power and such big screens,all this talk about them lacking accuracy is complete mumbo-jumbo(I'd be rude if I said bull****,wouldn't I? :p ).Have you ever tried these phones actually?They make my (old) Diamond's screen seem like a child's toyphone or some badly made copy of a current phone.

Plus the fact that with resistive you can use high-quality glass with scratch proof coatings instead of plastic is a huge advantage for me! :)

Just my opinion though!
[General Questions and Answers] SDreamer:
The only thing I like about capacitative screens are the durability aspect. The biggest thing I hate? Can't use anything but your finger (those fat styluses are just as good as using your finger...). I'd go capacitative anytime though just for durability. I like knowing that my device will last.

"Tasker" may be able to help, it can control your settings based on all kinds of scenarios. I have my mobile data disabled and use Tasker to enable it when certain apps start (internet, email, etc), it will disable it automatically when you close that app (needs apndroid installed). I do the same with GPS.

Tasker gives you loads of options and control, you can create custom widgets and automatic profile switching.

droidwall may be of interest to you guys, it blocks all apps to connect to 3g/edge unless you specify the app in the droidwall whitelist

Hi,

in earlier times I was able to find an overview of ROMs available for several models. Actually I am looking for an overview of available ROMs for the Touch Pro 2. Maybe I am dumb, blind or both (must not be confirmed at this time:) but I can't find this overview anymore. Or is it the Wiki (currently down)?

I am not the expert for this forums here - only looking here from time to time to find some improvements. Didn't update my TP2 before yand the factory installed ROM is in. I know how to change the ROM and so on.. But I think its rather hard to find the right ROM while reading lots of pages instead of having the former overview.. Any ideas how to optimize my search?

Hi friends,

thanks for all the pm´s..!

Regarding to them..:

Using the s2u2 Fullscreen themes for the "NeoMix Dark" skin will not work because the images

for s2u2 are in a totaly different resolution than for example the titanium fullscreen themes..!

You can use of course S2U2 USER WEATHER FULL SCREEN together with the NeoMix Dark Skin

which uses my other weather themes..! Btw. It looks great to use for example 2 different themes.. B) ;)

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

Here my s2U2 settings that it looks like on the screenshoots above and the wallpapers...!!

First:

Choose:

S2U2 Settings:

Tap on:

- Information

> change: Clock Font Folder, set to: option 4

scroll down and

> change: Clock/Date Alignmen, set tot : Center

scroll down again

> change:Today´s Weather Forecast from, set to: option 5 (UserWeather)

I also like to have the Digital Battery with % Powerinformation on my taskbar

therefor i change also under Information/Folder at the bottomlist: Digital Battery, set to : ON

- Wallpaper

> Tap on: File/Directory (Portrait)

There you can use the small blue arrows to look for the folder which contains your

wallpapers... Just tap on the choosed one and set it as portrait...

If you like to have the slider centered like on my screenshots choose:

- Appearance

> change Slider Position, set to: Center

and the rest you see by yourself... :P

Thats all my friend....

Enjoy (and don´t forget a screenshot... B) ...)
