Software for tasks. - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I am looking for an application which would allow me to create a list of things (tasks) to do each day. I have a problem with finding proper app. I tested Pocket Informant and Sbsh Calendar touchd but I couldn't create proper tasks that could be repeated each day and could be completed for each day separately.
I hope that someone will help me and tell me what software will work properly.
Cheers,
Lucas

Maybe SpoonDo? Or perhaps Task2gather.

Calendar Replacement - FINALLY FOUND! (DateLens)

Hey guys!
I did a thorough search of these forums and was amazed to find nothing about the wonderful program DateLens Calendar. (Apparently it used to be called FishCal).
It's a front-end for the clunky Calendar in WM5 and it has a very interesting GUI. Not "interesting-gimmicky", "interesting-FUNCTIONAL!"
It's freeware, so check it out here:
http://www.windsorinterfaces.com/datelens.shtml
Enjoy!
Dax.
I forgot to mention...
Only problem I've found with the program is that is doesn't have an icon, as in, it uses the default program icon, which is kinda ugly.
Never fear! I realised that it should be possible to use icon from a DLL file as a program icon (Just like in Windows xp, 98, etc)
Simply open the shortcut in something like PHM Notepad and add the following to use the standard Calendar icon.
?outres.dll,-10002
So the contents of the shortcut file should now look something like this:
45#"\Program Files\DateLens PPC\DateLensApp.exe"?outres.dll,-10002
Snoop around; Opening other shortcuts in PHM Notepad will reveal some interesting syntax. I think I saw one that said something like "Icon=" but I can't find it again.
Psst!: In PHM Notepad, don't forget to change the file types from *.txt to *.* or you won't see the shortcuts!
Ohhh maaan!
This puppy doesn't seem to work correctly!
It's great as a proof of concept, but doesn't function properly on my handset.
(I noticed when I try to enter a date, it comes up with a year of 1753!)
The author says that it could be due to regional settings, but this has not fixed it the problem in my case.
Has anyone else tried it and got it to work?
Now that I've seen it in operation, I can't stand to go back to other software! Even AgendaOne!
Dax.
Yes, I have the year 1753 problem as well. My regional settings is of the UK region. And when I tried to make it 2007, it goes 9988. Anyway, I bet it may be caused by WM5 problem rather than regional settings. Also, it seems slow in starting the app as well. Much slower than what I've experienced with other PIM (e.g. PocketInformant). However, once you had it in the memory, it seems alright.
Having said that, this app rocks! I wonder why it isn't getting the publicity that it should. SEE THE VIDEO DEMO HERE!!
It is sooooo aye-Fone-ish. They should have done more advertisements. I bet other PIM (probably Apple?) will like to have get their interface
Thanks Hanmin!
Much appreciated!
That calendar app looks very promising. Anyone talk to the developer yet on the WM5 issue??
He's said that he won't be working on it anymore, despite the fact he still thinks the concept is good (So do we!!), BUT that he is considering open-sourcing it.
Even if he does this, we would need dedicated & talented programmers to work on the code.
Do we have any takers?
Has the author released the source yet??
Holy crap, this is amazing. Well done on finding this little gem, I've been looking all over for an outlook replacement that was easier to work with but wasn't overloaded with to many features.
This is a great find, free as well! bonus.
Very nice. Has anyone figured out how to enter new appointments with the correct year and day?
@Kwan: No, unfortunately not. What we need is for everyone who's interested to ask the author to make it open source. I'm happy to co-ordinate the SourceForge site and he's already sent me the code, we just need his permission to open source it.
His name is Ben Bederson: [email protected]
Please be polite and courteous! If he says no, please don't hassle him. (But I really hope he says yes!)
All the best,
Hi. I'm new here. This app looks great! Has there been any updates? Has anyone tried it on WM6?
This is where you'd find updates if there were any.
You need to email Ben if you want this thing to go anywhere. We need all the support we can get!
ei.. you are back hows your effort with the code?
This app is pretty nice. I have been using it for the past day.
There are some issues with it though. Creating appointments causes an error and makes the app crash. It just needs to be fine tuned a little more.
Extremely impressive and works on my HTC Wizard running WM6 minus the already mentioned issues. I've done my part by sending Ben an email. Anyone have any new info on the appointment entry and date fixes? It is really all this app needs to be fully functional and more intuitive than any other calendar on the market. I can't believe this thing has gotten no press.

The Official WM6 Thread

Ok guys, so WM6 on Tornado exists (currently running on my device as we speak). But there are quite a few things we need to sort out before it can be released 'En Masse' Before this time I will ignore ALL PMs asking for the ROM.
There is a WM6 comments/suggestion/speculation thread HERE. Feel free to put in requests for embedded apps etc, but please realise we won't be able to put in EVERYTHING. So when the ROM is at a more completed stage we will draw up a shortlist for the apps etc to be embedded and let you vote it out
Current Issues:
Still has identifying build numbers etc to my source
Doesn't sync at all with a PC but will sync over exchange
It says WM5 with MSFP when its really WM6 (OS 5.2.xxx)
No Camera
No MMS
Issues fixed:
Wifi not accessable - new comm manager
No Office (fixed with a cab)
No t9 - updated to xT9 with 14 languages (fixed with a cab)
WLM is still beta and so needs removing and then updating (fixed with WLM RTM cab)
Things we need from a Tornado WM5 ROM
Camera.exe with all the mui extensions
Lets keep this thread clean, ok? I don't want sh!t loads of n00bs saying "where can I download ROM?". So, before you ask, here's my answer. YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT UNTIL ITS FINISHED!!!!
If a mod could remove such posts i'd be forever grateful
Please only post if you have information regarding how to fix the issues I've outlined above.
Phil
So... i am Alex from ronswens forum. i promise to fix that if you give me the rom and you can contact me via ICQ .. we need at least 3 tests - first, we upgrade xip, then new os build and then fix the camera...
T9 now fixed, office added, WLM fixed
Phil
@sp3dev, unfortunatley i dont have ICQ, do you have an MSN email address?

isnt there someone already working on this?

I think this is the sort of n00b-ish comment jm012a9749's trying to avoid in this thread.
I mean, honestly, do you think he believes he's the only one to have attained a tornado version? Come on...
Look, this guy is aware of Duke's efforts, heck we all are, but the more people who get involved, the more efficiently we can get a polished product. There's no guarantee that Duke nor jm012a9749 will be able to do anything, so why should any of us sit back and not get involved? Besides, Duke himself has mentioned that he needs help since he's not an experienced Rom cooker.
Sorry for the rant here, but this sort of attitude really bothers me. Saying "oh, someone's already doing that, sit back and don't waste your time" is why certain projects never see the light of day...
Please only post helpful information or questions!
you can fix activesync by replacing the usbfn.dll file.

as usual, ronswens.jconserv.net. as for active sync, i remember those early builds missed actsync.dll.. but better give me the rom, i will use build 17xxx from excalibur and drivers, camera, t9 etc from wm5

Exactly, since day 1 I've been working with duke_stix to help get a working version of crossbow. However now that I've made some progress and actually HAVE a device myself to test on, I felt it was nessary to start a new thread dedicated to it rather than the old dump rom thread
@faria, will try this later, thanks for the advice

Camera Software
Hi, I found this camera software. Its the one they using in WM6 i think. (Its kinda like the one on my Vox) Im using it on my tronado, and it works with some cert fixes.
Hope this helps

Stuff
Maybe you can find some useful stuff here:
http://218.93.115.138/d900/
You can have the WIFI option appear on its current Comm Manager thru Registry.. i have tried it and it worked.. but anyway, glad the new Comm Manager worked also..
The new comm manager also has flight mode, beam and IP Phone buttons on it

I don't know if we have the same build or version jm012a9749 but the following bugs are present on mine..
"BETA" text on the homescreen
FIX:
HKLM - Software - Miscrosoft - Shell
DELETE - "DeviceBETA" key
You can't open the Sound in Settings (Settings - Sounds)
Culprit could be the file soundsgsm.cpl.xml on /windows/ directory
I just got my new Tornado again awhile ago, and hoping that i could help this team in any way..

Is there really a big delay when opening/closing the keyboard?

yes every day there is the same question and thing I'm doing, looking to the web for news about new MS mobile devices..and now thinking about buying the Vox. But the only thing so far I couldn't live with is that there should be big delay when opening or closing the keyboard.
How do you rate this?
Its a few seconds...maybe more if you have many apps running in the backround, but then everything runs slow when thats happening on any WM device... dosent bother me...
Regards - John
To be honest in my opinion its not as bad as other make it seem, as long you keep tabs on the programs you have running in the background every now and not running with only 1mb free memory then you shouldn't have a problem. One tip you can try is disabling the sound it plays when switching views in the settings. Made the switch slightly faster in my opinion.
Without the Sound it is maybe 2 times faster..
thanks guys for your prompt answers!!
Do you have a clou whether the important progs like PocketInformant or AgendaOne are running without problems in landscape mode?

I use AgendaOne and I haev not had an issue with it switching orientation. However Documents to Go has a problem as does SmartPhoneNotes - they will not fill the screen, you get a scroll-bar on the righe, pretty much making it still portrate..

hi John
I thought one doesn't need smartphonenotes anymore as WM6 should have its own notes taking application?
As well as Office Mobile (doc, xls, ppt) should be on board, isn't ?
I really don't see what the fuss is about speed of the screen rotation. Its not like it takes several minutes. Approx 1-3 seconds depending on what's running in the background is perfectly fine.
hi guys, I don't want to make the Vox bad, I'm asking because I had the same issue with HTC Hermes, which was also quite ok after I disabled the sound. It also depends on how many applications are installed, loaded in memory, how much memory is free etc. But reading one of the serious reviews like the one from mobile-review - I rather ask for opinions of users before I buy it.
Thank you all
Can somebody tell how is it with the mobile office? Is it really not included with Vox as I read also somewhere? And is there a mobile note application synchronizing with Outlook?

You can edit existing documents but you cannot create ones, correct?
How about the notes application - possible to synchronize them with desktop?

Yes it has them...but WM6 does not allow for creation of new items in Office Mobile (although there is a hack to get around that) but I personally find Documents to Go a better offering than what MS gives you. I have word docs sent via email that dont load in Word mobile (on WM5 or WM6) yet have no problem in DTG...
There is also a 3rd party notes app - but no way to Sync to Outlook, thus I use SmartPhoneNotes.

You know...not to go way off topic here, but I thought I was going crazy one night because I could not figure out why there was no Calculator on the VOX...it never crossed my mind that it would be under "Office Mobile".... Since I never go in there with DTG installed - makes no sense at all to me for it to be in there...
My 2 cents

this is really a place one should go to - getting answers by like-minded people.
RE notes / synchronization - you know that there is a new beta out there of phatnotes by phatware? It supports WM6, might be a solution also for the landscape issue with smartphonenotes described by John...?

Didn't know about it to be honest, will have to swing by their site and look it up.
I guess I should note that DTG and Smartphonenotes are landscape aware, I used them just fine on my BlackJack...and I noticed today actually that if you start them in landscape mode they auto-rotate just fine....its only when you start in portrait mode that they go whacky...

A few questions and requests

Hi,
I am quite new to Win Mobile Smartphones, but however I managed to get to a certain point where I started to build my application collection. Unfortunately there are a lot of questions of mine, to which I am not able to find answers, and since this is the biggest community of that kind, which i was able to find (not very easy) i think that it is proper to ask you for your kind assistance , I hope that i would not annoy you. I would try to organize my questions and request as neat as possible. I guess that they would be useful for all HTC Tornado Noobies
1. Please link me to the best Office Suit for the Tornado.
2. I may find quite useful the full version of SK Tools - currently i use a version of the software meant for Pockect PC, it is working, but it actually lacks the feature which arranges the menu in list not a grind ...
3. Skype - I use Fring, but there are too many bugs, unfortunately i did not find a straight forward instruction on how to install skype. I think that IM+ for Skype would do the job, but it is paid .... I need skype for chat only no VoIP intentions.
4. I use Opera Mobile, but if you have came across any better browsing solution - please share it
5. How could i remove anything except the clock, the date and the recently used programs from the home screen, the appointments, messages etc. are quite useless for me.
6. Could i use 4GB SanDisk with the Qtek 8310, and if so would i face any problems.
7.Please share any build quality issues and opinions, which you have experienced, I guess that the weak spots are the Joystics and the screen (it seems so weak to scratches). I am also get quite annoyed by the dust under the screen so please tell would it appear.
Many thanks for the help in advanace!

Contact tab lockups - Issue with Manila 2.5.2012 or newer - Exchange sync

Dear all,
I'm facing a problem with all ROMs including the new versions of Manila 2.5.2012 and newer, which is driving me crazy.
Roms work ok, but after sync with my work's exchange account (exchange 2007 sever), Manila suddenly start to freeze continuously. Specially when accessing HTC People which is checking the emails received from each contact.
I spent long hours trying to find out what could be the problem, flashed several different ROMs, task29, hard rested, and made several test with different configurations and always the same problem. I can't have my corporate exchange email and run Manila 2.5.2012.
Edit:
After investigation, it seems that this problem affect other people (including HD2 users) and no only with exchange.
Problem is related to the package Contact Utility engine.
I tried cooking with the newer packages, but I got the problem, so I'm stuck with Manila 2.5.1921
The problem appears when you have a complex email folder structure on your email account (many folders and subfolders), large quantity of contacts with several emails and details on each contact or when you have or restore large quantity of SMSs.
When you click on a contact, Manila.exe and filesys.exe use 100% of the CPU, blocking the device.
Question:
Does someone knows how manila handles the filesys.exe?
Do you know what polices your IT department pushes to any mobile device?

I checked with other people running same ROMs and also corporate email and they were not suffering the same problem.
The only major difference I found are the Exchange server policies loaded on my device when I set up the activesync connection.
As normal in these cases my IT dept is not helping.
Before I give up, I'd like to know if there is any tool to block, log or revert the server policies.
I'll appreciate your guidance.

PD: Funny enough older Roms with Manila 2.5.1920 works without problem, but really want to update to the newest versions which run faster and feature new tabs.

There is a utility that might helped and it's called "stay unlocked".
Oh and I should mention I dont notice anything like that on my ROM and I have exchange 2010 as well.

thanks for your replies.
I gave a try to the "Stay Unlocked" utility, works nice, but only prevent the lock to be installed, other policies seems to be applied.
It created the log (attached), with all the policies downloaded to the phone, but not detailed enough to understand which one has been applied and which is the registry key that could be creating the problem.
I'm running out of ideas...
HI
I'm just having the same issue
I have post on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675661
I have found that if I just sync contacts manila is fast. But If I sync contacts and Emails, every time I got to contact detail is very slow, caling a diferent number of the contact can take 10 secs.. If I select the email tab of the contact is slow also.
All these slowdowns are fixed if I don't sync the emails..
Did you find a solution?
Thanks!
Note: like you with mabila 2.5.19 everything is fast but with manila is > 2.5.2012 then There are slowdowns..
Hi,
No, I haven't found a solution yet.
I've seen that you are on a HD2, which is much faster than my blackstone. If you are having problems with 1 Ghz, I'm dead....
I've been looking if posible to extract the HTC people from Manila 2.5.1920 and install over the 2.5.2012, but I didn't time to try, and It also doesn't seem to be easy as Manila is quite complex. Maybe NRGZ28 could help (Please!)
Have you tried to ask your IT dept to remove the IT policies and try again after a hard reset? My IT people sucks and not helping...
BTW, I had to flash an old 2.5.1920 Rom....
I am facing the same but not syncing with Exchange but with Lotus Notes and the "Traveller" sync software.
Only with ML 1.5 WWE from Dutty it is working at the moment.
Best regards,
dingolino

hi .
yes this is a manila problem but I'm not sure if is a exchange policy problem .
I have an exchange 2010 server, I have check the policies all are set as default , no modifycations. no password lock etc.. I have check the report email on the sync process and there are no errors .
also there are other users with lotus so.. I don't think is a policy problem. this is just a software problem and is related to my post. people tab makes a lookup to emails and this change has been introduced on manila 2.5.20 . on manila 2.5.19 there is a lookup but only when you select the email tab of the contact .
I have install a manila kitchen to see if I can find some think..
I will post more info on my post

I've seen your post and notice that there are more people having the same problem.
What it's really strange it's that not all the people using exchange is facing the problem. This is what it's making me think that it's related to the config of the server.
Let's see if the newer manila version works better.

BTW... I have move all the email fields of the contact to the Notes field and now "All people" is fast!
new manila packages from Leo 2.13
Hi,
The new manila packages from the Leo 2.13 are out, and all contact related packages has been upgraded.
Hopefully the contact lockup is gone.
I waiting for NRGZ28 to realease a new ROM with these new packages and give a try.
I have this issue. In my case the problem was caused by a large number of text messages from the person I was choosing for my contacts tab.

In my case, I have no sms. I got the problem after a flashing just when sync with exchange.
I'm trying to cook a ROM with the new manila 2.5.201x, but including the old packages from 2.5.1920 related to the people tab, but no luck so far...
I have the problem, too. No idea what the solution is, but wanted to let you guys know the problem is affecting others, too.
packages to CAB
Hi,
Does someone know how to make a cab from a Manila package?
I tried with the tools found in the forum, but it's really complicated.
I'd like to create the cabs with the packages mentioned on the first post.
Thanks
moved to the right forum, please post in the correct forums.
same problem with manila 2.16 ....
I don't know what else to try
Hi,
the only solution I found up to now is to reduce the folders/subfolders that I have in the exchange inbox, in order that the manila contact engine can have a ligther cemail.vol and do the email search by contact faster.
After cooking my own ROMs I found that the package which is creating the problem is the Contact Utility engine.
I tried to cook the old contact utility engine with newer Manila versions, but they crash, so still stuck on Manila 2.5.1921...
