use HTML to open an app? - General Questions and Answers

HI Folks,
been looking into this for a bit with no joy, so thought it's worth asking if anyone knows if its possible to use a html browser to open an app directly, please read the below and you will see what i am after, basically the idea is to use jakesankey's overlay to navigate m.facebook, but also have the option to use the bottom bar to act as a shortcut to album

It will give you access right back to your chat window at any time. The goal is to get rid of the m.facebook integration and make make it so each window will remain in the same position as it was when you switched to 'chat' and then switched back.. Anyhow, I dont mean to ramble. This is what where I am thus far for anyone with an interest. (simply extract the compressed folder to your computer and open fbook.html to get the idea).. obviously this will not be used to upload photos.
ive been playing with this, it works well with the new omnia build of opera that allows scroll in pan
know this might sound daft, but is there any way to use a html doc to open the Album.exe ?
one of the guys posted the following in the diamond section that allows htc album to upload pics directly to facebook

don't know if this will work with qvga, but worth a try
i like the idea and have been playing around with it to make it more usable for me, then thought about trying to include a link to the album in the html page, ive included my edit to give you an idea of what im thinking but the code is beyond me
many thanks for any help or advice
Chris

anyone have any ideas?

So, if I understand you right, what you want to do is open an application on your phone (a .exe file) when clicking a link in a webpage?
Because that does work perfectly fine (at least on my htc wing with WinMo 6 and PIE). All you need to do is make the link point to the application:
Code:
A link
The above example will open the Images&Videos application when clicking the link for example. Hope that's what you were after.

You are a star! Exactly what I was after. Cheers
njcoussell - you might want to change the topic title to show that the problem has been solved.
There are a few other apps that do this as well... but the MS one is good enough I think.

Xda Developers Palringo Group

Do we have one already? If not I've created xda-developers on Palringo so we can get together and discuss all things HTC.
http://www.palringo.com/
Once you're in with your client of choice go to "Groups" and "Join a Group" then type in "xda-developers" to join and start chatting.
If you're on your mobile and don't have a good data tarif you might want to use wifi; photo-spam will ensue!
Damn I'm addicted to this app!
Palringo is a great app.
I'm there too and I'm inviting anyone to signup!
Wow, not a very good turnout!
Come on guys, pretty much everyone here has a device capable of running Palringo!

I installed Palringo but it will NOT uninstall properly, and now i receive an error each time I boot up my Hermes
I've never had the inclination to uninstall it, but that's a bit irritating.
I imagine the error is Palringo attempting to run at startup? In which case you can manually go into the start up items folder of your device and remove the shortcut.
The folder path is \Windows\StartUp
not been in here for ages, but hanging in the palringo groups is pretty good, what did I do before Palringo ?
dont use it but will check it out if its got anything to do wit my ppc.
cheers

PTT just seems to send a WAV. Can it not do proper PTT even Palringo to Palringo?
Palringo is the second most-used app on my phone (Opera Mini is #1). The recent update that adds the "chat" menu is a huge improvement, since I can actually have multiple IM windows open now. I don't like the fact that my connections are proxied through palringo servers, but it's still the best free IM app I've found.
BTW, even the JavaME version works on the Kaiser in JBED. Don't know why anyone with a Kaiser would want to use it, but it's still cool. I used the Samsung version.
I just joined the group, so I might bug some of you just to try out the PTT and other features I've never used before.
well used app. just how can we get it to work without explorer first
I'd like to know if is possible to change the picture of exibition in MSN
How can I do it?
palringo wont stay open
ive been using palringo for a while now and i like it but recently its been acting odd. when i flash a new rom and i open palringo its all good. after it updates the software, palringo wont stay open. i open it and as fast as it opens, it closes.
anyone else?
is this really the main room? or is there a bigger one?
palringo is the best multi server IM App??? what do you guys think?
Or if there is a betther one please let me know, ok?

You can link direct to Opera Mini; have a look through some of the posts from a few days ago, and you'll find instructions on how to set up a link. Works a treat on mine!

How to access college wifi with user name & password??

Ok so they give us a password to connect to the wifi, then from there if you are on a laptop then browser automatically opens and you input a user name and password...this then connects you. I'm not too sure how to do this on my Jasjar, do i manually configure? How? Where do i input username and password because the browser doesnt automatically open for me. We are trying to connect using phones, iphones, and my ppc. How do I connect??
Thanks for reading.
Do you know what kind of authentication used in your school? It's 802.1x? Do you have to install a certificate? Try to find out more information...
Open a good browser(say opera) and try opening any site on it. This is most likely the case. You'll be auto-directed to the page where you can input the user-id and password
I have similar problem.
The VPN solution that is used needs users to authenticate via xauth, which is not supported by WM.
Does anyone have a good proposal for a client to use?
If there's no free solution I don't (really) care about the costs.

@ loiz
Thanks for the links
I tried to find some proper software myself, but apparently i did something really wrong!
The decription of the NCP Tool looks promising, as it should include everything I need. I'll give it a try (could take some days) and tell whether I've been lucky or not...
I downloaded Opera so i will try with that tomorrow...I cant understand German so i cant understand that link and cant download. Will see with Opera anyway, thanks.

You don't need to
First, on the german version of the NCP homepage youget to the downloads by clicking Downloads, then choosing Software, then the Client, that's also named english
If you can't figure out how to set up he account needed in german, just click on the little American flag in the upper right of the screen
It's present on the homepage and the downloads page.
The second link is just an instruction anyway, except for the link to the SecureW2 Client. You should find the (english) homepage of that via google. You don't need to bother downloading that if the authentication method isn't 802.11.
Thanks mate, but I tried with Opera and it works!!! Now to find a way to access msn!!

You can allways use online live messenger http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/
Been looking for a way to get it to work at college as well.
Have got no idea what do cause we use certificates here, have one on my ppc and installed it (on sd as well as the device).
Got practically everything filled out except when selecting a certificate i get the message that there is none.
Been trying to consult the It-services desk but they have no experience whit this.
Do you have any idea which steps i should take?
Thanks in advance
Online messengers are blocked also, they use some burst filtering software or something, will check to see if i can find an unblocked site. Would be great if there was a way to allow everything. Thanks lads.

MSN Weather Widget

Does anyone have a copy of the latest version of the MSN Weather widget in .widget, .wgt, or .cab format?
Before you jump down my throat and tell me to use the Search function... I have searched for hours and have come up empty handed. I have found many of the earlier versions, but none after version 1.1. The newest versions work with touch scrolling and have different features than the early versions.
I'm using a ROM that doesn't have it natively so I wanted to install it indepentantly. I like it better than any commercial or free weather app out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Moved as not software release.

That's actually the one I have been using. It doesn't support finger scrolling.
I have been looking for this too. It is on the Marketplace website but you have to download it via the Marketplace app. I tried this but it does not show up via the app!
I suspect this is a regional limitation or something. Perhaps somebody else will have more success and post a cab for us?
Thanks.
Do you have a numerical version of the widget that you are looking for? (not just "higher than 1.1")

I was able to find it on the WM Marketplace. The latest version is 1.7. I couldn't find it using the Markeplace application on my phone, but I got it by going HERE. I had to "purchase" it there (it's free btw) then log into my phone's Marketplace app to actually download it.
Even though it's directly from the Marketplace, it does not have the finger scrolling feature that I'm looking for. I was using JJBlaster's ROMs on my old Kaiser and the MSN Weather widget he included was able to scroll up and down using your finger.
Could someone else download it and put the version 1.7 widget in a CAB package? It's way easier to include a CAB in a new ROM flash's UC than to jump through all the hoops Marketplace makes you go through to get it. And also, could somebody somehow enable finger scrolling? I'm not sure how to do any of that.
Alright so I figured out that the reason my finger scrolling wasn't working had something to do with the Add Widgets or Enable Widgets cabs I had installed. I reflashed my ROM and did not install either cab, then installed the weather widget through the Marketplace and now finger scrolling now works with the latest widget. Next all I'd ask is for someone to put the MSN Weather widget from the marketplace into a cab so I can use it without the marketplace.
Bump.
Anyone know how to make a CAB out of the Windows Marketplace MSN Weather widget? How about from the attached widget file?
This seems newer
I'm not sure, but this seems a newer CAB and it worked great for me on 1.43 - am about to reinstall on 1.66 (VF UK)
OK.... idiot mode off
Having resisted posting here for years because I hate the 'stupid' posts and feared the vitriolic reaction once I made one, I have just managed to make myslef the target for a typically acerbic post pointing out that I have been a dumbass and missed out the "%" in the %20 part of a filename.
It appears I have uploaded the same version you already have access to.
Apologies.
(please don't hurl too much abuse this way people!)
Thank you
