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.

Because probable nobody knows about it. This is posted in the General forum. It needs to be posted in the Development and Hacking forum to get more traffic.
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?
Phil
isnt there someone already working on this?
guy called duke_stiks
anyway good luck with the developing and fixing of 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.

Alex would you please tell me the new address of ronswens forum?
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
Phil
More info on the missing USB sync... under connections, 'USB isnt listed.
Idea's?

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
will you be tweaking the rom for speed/performace on the tornado?

seriously sandman,you are not helping!!! am sorry for ranting but like what the thread starter said NO NOOB posting!!! sheesh man!!! they are not "tweaking for performance" for crying out loud!!! they are cooking a wm6 rom!!!
How about we get the ROM fully functional BEFORE we start tweaking it

Thanks alot for that samyboy
Looks like were getting there with regards to functionality
Also does anybody have the Arcsoft MMS client? I've been searching for a while now but no dice. Also could do with the default windows task manager as well.
Phil
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
Phil
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..

Have u guys tried to install Slithers SCLPC++ on ur smartphone? I tried, works good, all the animations n stuff...looks really cool...only downpart cant press any of the buttons, i put forward the following in slithers thread:
"
Hey slither.....great work.....i went to the edgelib site n it stated there that it can be installed on smartphone....so i went ahead n installed it...works like a charm (just the cube roatating and all) but neverthe less its probably the best interface so far i have had for a non touch screen....
There are a few things though i would like to ask you:
1. Is it possible to assign the opening of the icons (music, programs, contacts) to the numberpad, that way it will be fully functional on smartphones as well.
2. The centre button of the Dpad assigned for opening app rather than closing SCLPC (only for smartphone, for PPC i thnk the present config is best)
3. Make some function for up key in dpad of smartphone, like the same function as swipe in touch screen does?
Is this possible bud?
Keenly waiting for what u have to say.
Thanks alot bud,
Once again great app.....
"
What do u guys think? If we can be generous we can probably get slither to make it functional for our non-touchscreen phones.....and it looks amazing....
Sound's cool, what the thread url so we can post more requests for smartphone? Maybe ifhe knows there's a demand, he'll help us out.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358102
I will post a video of how it runs on my phone soon.....
and heres the download that ran on my phone:
http://rapidshare.com/files/89795344/SCLPC___3D_0-051__WM05-WM06_.zip
I have uploaded the video, its in the cube3d.zip file....its in 3gp format...its not that clear cause its recorded from mobile, but i have displayed 3 of the skins i downloaded and how it looks......
Let me know what you guys think
i always wanted to test this app on my phone but i always though it woulndt work, but for my surprise it does,il be willing to post on the authors original post so that he can know that we smartphone users want hes app fully functional on our phones.
Did anyone manage to convey our message to him? I was thinking if he can not do it, probably ask him if he could give us the source and we can get someone who is good at c++ to do it...i know someone who might be able to...
What do u guys think?
hi everyone,
did anyone of you guys manage to get QIK running on HD2? I can install it and it runs through installation without any errors. But as soon as I try to start the application I get a black screen and nothing happens.
if you don´t know about qik, here´s the link
http://qik.com/
cheers.
wil
Same here.
Tried some QIK versions for HTC, but none of them worked. What a shame for the most expensive HTC device.
Same here! And BambUser is worthless to on HD2, flickering pictures...
I posted something in thos thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629080 but i don't think anyone has seen it.
qik, is a great Programm!
Cooks take a look on this, please make it run on HD2.
I wanna live stream videos to my friends!
Check qik.com for more information.
The new HTC EVO 4G runs it too!
hd2 is not on their supported device list. maybe that's why it's not working
I checked out the forum of QIk and even their employees are like sorry WE DO NOT OFFER any support for HTC HD2 and the employee posting in the qik forum goes on to say we have no ETA for support for QIK.
So we need to find another service or someone would need to modify the QIK App for us HD2 owners if that is at all possible.
Check LiveCast, not sure if they support the HD2

Live cast works but has a flicker..Not worth it
Live Cast is too bad Video Quality.
Unbelievable that no of the Live Video Streams works in good quality with the HD2:
Programms checked:
qik.com
flixwagon.com
kyte.tv
DOES SOMEBODY KNOWS ANOTHER GOOD WORKING LIVE VIDEO STREAM
SOFTWARE FOR THE HD2??
I believe that Qik will become backwards compatible with the screen resolutions and settings once the EVO 4G is released.
Granted, it'll start with the Android platform... but I'm sure that will open some possibilities for us Windows Mobile users with the HD2.
New Bambuser version that works... better...
Hi!
There was a new update for Bambuser this week and it works slightly better than the one before... but just slightly The flickering is still there, but now you can edit options and return to program without retstarting it like i had to do over and over again when trying different settings...
320x240 works ok now!
kick the Qik post 2 update 4 HD2
What is the best solution to get Bambuser on my HD2?
I look at your video ToddeSwe, and wonder how you get so much better quality then i did.
Hope anybody have a good answer
This live streamşng problem is just unacceptable!
HTC HD2 is an expensive device, HTC claims this is better than iphone (and it really is) but this is a huge problem.
Even ****ty Nokia's can do this..
HTC must do something, work with ustream or qik or bambuser and come up with some solution.
Solution to qik on HD2:
use darkstone's Froyo 2.2 android port v2.2 on your 16GB SD card (doesn't take much space at all) and the once in Android then goto Anroid market and then download QIK and u will be able to use it properly. It worked for me and I am using a TMOUSA HD2.
Hi, folks! It's me again with the new version of the hdWobble app. Although it looks like the previous one, this version is done from scratch. It is based on the OpenGL ES library for Windows mobile. I recently got my self a new HTC HD2 phone, and since it is supporting multitouch technology I decided to see if I can use it in this app. As it is shown in the video, I managed to implement pinch-zooming and rotation of the loaded image as well as resizing of the wobbling area. There are lots of things that need to be polished and implemented, but I hope that this version will live to see it, unlike the previous one. There is no download available yet. At first it will be released only for the HTC HD2 device. As soon as it is completed I will release it for download. Not sure yet if it is going on the Marketplace or not. Anyway, enjoy the existing app and this clip, and don't forget to watch this thread for updates.
Watch the movie here
Work progress
New image gallery is finished. I hope you will like it. I'm planning to give it a go as a standalone image gallery that can replace default image and video viewer.
I'll be expecting your recommendations, critiques, suggestions and comments of any kind that will make this gallery even better.
You can see new gallery in action here.
Little contest

Q&A
Q: How to add or remove images to use with hd2Wobble?
A: Go to the location where you installed hd2Wobble and open Backgrounds folder.
Q: Will there be standalone image viewer, and when?
A: Yes there will be an I don't know when.
Q: Does hd2Wobble work on other devices than HD2?
A: For now it only works on HD2. If it works on other devices it is not intentional. I only tested it and developed for HD2. It won't work on devices that are not "multitouch" capable. In the future release I'll try to enable it to work on other resolutions so it could be used on devices like HD2 mini.
Q: I successfully installed hd2Wobble on my HD2. Why isn't multitouch working?
A: Soft reset your device after the installation.
If you like this application and find any worth in it, you are free to donate
Thnx!
