[Windows Mobile Software Development] welki1979:
A lot of people I spoke to whilst leaning programming didn't want to help with the Visual Basic side of things and started moaning about me not using C# - but that was my choice to make. So I make this post with similar minded people in mind - maybe there is someone else out there that doesn't want to learn C# to code apps?!?

A while back I started learning about Windows Mobile development but I left it a bit late in the OS's lifecycle and sadly lost my motivation for producing apps for it.

Now that I have left my Windows Mobile development behind I am willing to contribute my, slightly messy but, working code to anyone that might find a use for it.

I am willing to donate my code to the community in the hope someone will finish it off - if they can decypher my workings - or make use of it in their own projects.

It's an Alarm Clock in the Metro UI style (see attached screenshots) which wakes the device at the set time and sounds an alarm and is written in VB and is for Windows Mobile 6 and above. Most of the functionality is already in place.

It requires the Smart Device Framework libraries to be installed on the PC used to code it.

Working Features:

One working alarm which wakes the device when required

Snooze function

Customisable colours - working selector screen with 46 colours to choose (you can even use a custom hex colour if the XML settings file is manually edited)

Selection of different date formats

Rotation support for WVGA devices works...sort of but could probably be tweaked.

Things left to finish:

Add additional alarm(s)

Allow naming of alarms

Put dialogue in place to select a sound for the alarm(s)

Put an 'if -> then' statement in place in the alarm sounding procedure to vibrate the device if vibration is enabled

Graphics are minimal to reduce on memory usage but I think it looks quite good...even if I do say so myself (Please see the screenshots attached)

The program was never finished due to changing my main OS on my phone from Windows Mobile to WP7 and Android and I don't think I'll be returning to Windows Mobile 6.5 development.

The following imports are required:

Imports System.IO

Imports System.Threading

Imports System.Media

Imports OpenNETCF

Imports OpenNETCF.WindowsCE

Imports OpenNETCF.AppSettings

...and the following references in the project references:

OpenNETCF.AppSettings

OptnNETCF.WindowsCE

The app creates an XML file for the settings which is stored in the program folder and in its current state it works for 1 alarm with one alarm tone ('alarm.wav' in the resources folder).

Any questions...feel free to ask. There is one menu template which is configured in various procs to create the menus for alarms and preferences so it can look more complicated than it actually is in the code.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] welki1979:
Glad to see some people may have found this useful! Keep me updated with any developments, it'd be interesting to see if this goes anywhere....I ask for no credit.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sb.oddworld:
Hi thank you for the source code. I prefer C# syntax wise but they share the same runtime environment and get compiled into the same MSIL language so in theory they are the same. Just some things are done differently. Cheers again. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] welki1979:
No problem at all. Some of the form layouts can be a little confusing so if you need a hand just yell. Glad that it might be of use to someone. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] CodeCruncher:
Thanks welki1979 being a non C programmer I fully appreciate how hard it is to find suitable code to get examples from. Even if it turns out to be totally useless it is still a very nice gesture.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] CodeCruncher:
Ok got it up and running (didn't need the Smart Device Framework listed above as I already had Microsoft .NET Compact Frameworkwork 3.5 installed).

First impressions... It's really cool (especially the random item close), haven't had much chance to go through the code yet as it threw up an exception when I first ran it that needed to be sorted out first.

What I was hoping to see was the application being triggered from one of the menus items but instead it just fires up on load.

I was hoping to learn how to code it so it could be fired off the start menu icons, but I can't seem to work out how those applications are triggered.

Not sure what value I can add to the program, but given enough time to learn a bit more about mobile coding I might be able to add something.

[Droid X General] cybercowboy372:
So I just got the droid x and I am trying to set up my work email on it. It is a pop3 account. I enter all of the information it asks me such as incoming and outgoing servers and the port numbers and when I click done it says that the account was set up successfully. However, when I go into the email account and try to retreive messages, it says that the user name or password is incorrect. I have triple checked all of the settings and they are correct. I have also tried it on my friends droid x and I get the same error. I am not rooted or anything so im just running stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:

Its our own domain that we have through go daddy. I just downloaded the K-9 Mail app and it works fine. I would like to be able to just use the default mail app though.
[Touch HD General] d0miniks:
hello!

i got a question. i tried to get a energy rom on my phone. i did everything said in this thread: [TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL]

updated drivers, had SPL 1.54.0000 on my phone and followed the instructions. when i executed USPL and did the following step in the guide:

"(USPL5b) Run USPL.exe from the download in step (USPL1c)...When the application appears click on Run USPL."

the programs output said everything is fine and the phone turned off like it should do. the only problem is, it did restart and i also cant switch it on with the power button... any suggestions?

regards
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
there is 2 points of view to this:

1. how did you actually end up where you are now?

2. and how do you solve that (probably depends on 1.)?

so:

1.

- did you, by any chance, ignore the warning to only flash with a full battery?

although a cable is plugged in, during the stages of flashing the device is not charged, but actually uses a lot of power, due to the fact that the screen is backlit the entire time and the nand is constantly accessed.

- could your usb cable be faulty and have terminated the connection midway through?

that could mean that you now have a broken spl, which is not much better than no spl at all.

2. some of the most primitive ways of getting the device back to life might be:

- have you tried switching it on with VOL- pressed (bootloader mode) instead of actually switching it on? (also, in that case, which spl is shown?)

- have you taken out the battery for half an hour and put it back in then and tried to switch it on or enter bootloader mode?

- do you have any way of either testing the battery outside of that specific device or charging it externally? (to make sure it is not actually empty, because in this state, your device might not charge it)

- and lastly, have you done this procedure before?

are you sure, you followed it to the letter? because any indication of going off-script might help us find the cause and then the solution to your problem.

if we can make sure, that your phone is not physically harmed (battery, usb connector...) and you are not in the worst luck about the timing of the error, we should be able to fix it.
[Touch HD General] lumisab:
Hi

to start you phone again you have to press "both" volume button down, at the same time you have to press the reset button as well,reset button is beside you SD Card on the back of you phone ,when you press all the button you will see a 3 colored screen on you phone if you see the 3 colored screen stop pressing the volume button,after that it is everything explaind on the phone screen.With this method you will delete everything on you phone and be back on you original phone settings.
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
no, that would be a hard reset and it does not affect the spl, without a proper spl, the phone cannot boot and a hard reset cannot change that, he needs to access bootloader mode to flash an spl and then a rom.
[Nook Color General] zmanH2:
Hi all! I have been lurking for about 2 weeks and am now a member. 1st post :D

My unrooted NC is running great with Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 via SD card. I used a Sandisk 8GB (Class 2 :eek:) from an old Blackberry Storm. Being a Class 2, I had my doubts on the SD card but good ol' Sandisk came through. Everything (YouTube/Market/Mail/Facebook/Pandora/Games/etc) is working fine and smoothly for the past 2 days. I hope it stays that way.

Here are my questions:

1). Is there a File Manager already pre-installed with the NF ROM? If not, which one should I get from Market?

2). I have SetCPU (apk file) on my Win7 laptop hard drive. What is the easiest way to install this since I am booting NF ROM via SD card already?

Thanks in advance :)
[Nook Color General] zrzrzrzr:
1) Not sure, but i've read Root Explorer or Astro File Manager

2) I used ADB. you can get that from the android sdk. Its fairly simple.
[Nook Color General] zmanH2:
Thanks! I will try those later.

Will ADB work if I am not rooted & my ROM is in the SD card? Is it possible to access the apk via email in NC and then save?

Or maybe via SD card reader on laptop? Where do I drop the file?
[Nook Color General] jimbobalu:
The ROM you are running, same as I am running, comes with Astro file manager. The easiest way to transfer files is to get a free Dropbox account, if you would like you can use my referral.

http://db.tt/LBvYVk1
[Nook Color General] zrzrzrzr:
That's the same way I did it. Loaded Froyo from SD, pushed file via ADB. Gotta search for the command lines though.
[Nook Color General] zmanH2:
Thanks! I will check it out tonight when I get home. So from Dropbox, where do I put the apk file on the SD card?

Cool! I was just trying to avoid ADB, if I could :o I'll look for the commands. Post back here if you find them too. :)
[Nook Color General] jimbobalu:
Once you install the dropbox app on your PC and phone you just drop the apk into your PC dropbox and then download it, using dropbox on your phone. Go to the dropbox folder on your SD using Astro and just tap on the apk and viola it is installed. Dropbox is basically cloud storage that you can sync to multiple devices.
[Nook Color General] zmanH2:
Suh-weet :D I know what Dropbox is (on my iPad), but I didn't know it was *that* easy to install apk files :o
[Nook Color General] azj:
Hmmm, there's no Astro in my copy of NF 0.6.8.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicoATT:
How can I increase the number of rings for incoming calls before it goes to voicemail? I have a Streak 5 , still running 1.6. Looks like the defaulted ring length is short.

Also I've downloaded Ringdroid (Free) , created several ringtons that was saved with 20 seconds or so . But going back to look at each, i am noticing these saved all at 14 second cutoffs. Looking for a good RT app that has no limit and the setting for my Streak that will increase number of rings before going to VM

Thanks in advance!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
*#61*901*11*??# Amount of time a call rings before being sent to voicemail, where ?? is seconds in multiples of 5
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicoATT:
Thanks! I that format *#61*555555530# worked for me. However i am getting the response now saying "Voice:+15555555555 after 20 seconds" .

I am assuming that is the 30 second limit?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Ringdroid will make longer ringtones. When editing the file you can drag both the start and finish of the area you are cutting from the file. It does appear that the length indicated in Ringdroid is not the same as that shown when you play the created ringtone back. I made on that Ringdroid showed as 75 seconds but it shows up in the music player as 66 seconds,

These instructions work for me on AT&T. If you are having issues with the MMI code you can call AT&T customer service and have them change the setting.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicoATT:
tt

Thanks, giving ATT a call. My copy Ringdroid definite cutting off at 14.9 sec on each and every rt i create. i go back to edit/resave and still comes back @ 14.9 secs
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
You tried to make ringtones of different length and they all came back at 14.9 seconds? I tried it just before my previous post and as I wrote in my previous post a 75 second clip played back at 66 seconds for me. I'm using version 2.3

Edit: are you saving as a ringtone or notification tone?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicoATT:
Just checked and I am using version 2.3 as well. Saving as a ringtone, actually the file automatically saves with a "ringtone" as part of its file name. I've created one say 60 seconds, then play it back before saving it. Then when i close Ringdroid and reopen the app, scroll to the newly created ringtone, i can see where it 'shaved" the 60 second recording to 14.9sec. as if 14.9 is defaulted.

Ive made 3 sample rts , all with diffeerent lengths, and all three, when bringing them up again each show 14.9 seconds....odd. must be a setting that i cant locate.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
When you save a ringtone there is a drop down box where you can pick the type of tone your are saving. It effects where Rindroid will put it.

Are you re-opening the edited tone with Ringdroid or a music app? When you open anything in Rindroid a sub-section automatically selected and the length of that is shown in the bottom left corner. The length of the entire fiel is displayed directly under the window where you select a section to cut.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicoATT:
You ARE dah man! Hey thanks, that was exactly what i was doing. When opening it via music player, it does play the entire ringtone! But, as you pointed out, when viewing it within Ringdroid (i keep thinking its named "ringrhoid" lol) it shows that subset (14.9 sec) and plays only that subset. Im happy now!!!

THANKS!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Glad to help.
[Android Themes] iflip:
I'd be willing to settle for a froyo tablet at a much cheaper price if there was a home replacement app optimized for devices with larger screens that behaves like honeycomb. Launcherpro gives us the option to expand the gridspace. Miui rom almost behaves like honeycomb. Is there anything in the works for tablet home replacement apps for 2.2+?
[Android Themes] playpolo4life:
You could buy a 2.2 tablet then root it and install a honeycomb ROM?
[Android Themes] iflip:
In theory yes, but who's to say there will be adequate dev support for each tablet out there. Most upcoming 7" tabs seem to be as if they will go up to the.not hc. Galaxy tab still hasn't gotten honey comb hacked on it yet. Smh.

Hi, I can flawlessy access my work mailbox via OWA using my default android browser and my phone. I asked my IT manager to being able to sync my phone directly with the work account (using a staightforward redirect to my gmail account) but I've been told it's not allowed. As I can access via web, I guess there should be a way to trick the server, in order to have the mail directly on my phone (it "thinks" I'm accessing via browser but I'm using default android gmail client instead).

anyone knows howto?
