[Q] Looking for widget that displays text. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I'm looking for a widget that can access a text file that is located on my phone or dropbox and display the contents of the file. It should always update itself as soon as there is a change in the text file.
Did anyone come by an app like this?

This sounds like a niche widget, and I honestly doubt you'll find something to do this. U can maybe try keeping the contents of the textfile in a notepad type app which has a widget, and maybe import/export to text functionality? This is probably the best u can do

PPL - Pocket Programming Language..... and the *fruity theme*

http://rychlicki.net/en/2007/04/01/174/
This IP lawyer has something interesting to say.
And you can get the theme from his page
After launching the theme (by the way, it's VERY EASY, just put it in a folder in your wizard), everything works except the banner clock just show "0". Wondering if you get the same on your wm6.
Also, it would be nice if the calender icon can display the actual date and the clock icon can display the actual time.
Cool but also here the time is 0 0
Very cool app. Looks pretty good and that without needing to install the application. I did try a wizbar adv iphone skin once, which had a lot more features.
But anyway a nice prog to play around with.
could you remap those icon with the config.ini file?
i tried, but most mappings still point to the setting i have on the "Stock" icon.
wondering if anyone here know the PPL and interested to further develop the application. you can download the program for free from the official homepage here: http://arianesoft.ca/index.php
I'm going to look into what I can change with it. The whole deal is fairly cool, but I hate the lag when switching to the "lock" screen. We'll see what we can come up with.

I don't know if you've noticed yet but you can indeed remap the icons with the config.ini file. Simply rename the extension so that it is config.txt, and inside it the various buttons and their paths are shown. Edit those paths the the desired program's location on your phone, then rename the config.txt file back into config.ini
Something I'd like to ask: Can we change the time at the top of this app? I believe that it's just the wrong time zone, since it is 8:44 here and the app shows 3:44
Cool app.
Time shows nothing here though (just 0 0)

Sms icon on desktop, help

hey, im not se good to english so hope you understand me.
I want at icon on me desktop, where i click, and it will go into at new sms.
where can i find the .exe file i me touch ?
Okay, so if i got that right, you want a shortcut to launch SMS editor, without going trough your inbox, just like on most standard cell phones?
If that is the case, you'll need to create a new shortcut. The best way to do it is to use a file explorer allowing to create shortcuts, but thye easiest is to create a new text file on your computer, neme it something like SMS.txt, open it with your notepad or whatever text editor you use, and paste the following into it:
Code:
39#"tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body
now save the file, transfer it somewhere to the device ("/windows/start menu/programs" might be a good place) and change its name to SMS.lnk (or whatever you wish, just make sure that the extension is .lnk).
Now about adding it to the "desktop" - it depends on what plugins you use, but if you have a configurable launcher, and from what i understand, you use the Touch, which has a launcher by default, you need to add the shortcut you created to the launcher, just like you add any other program to it (as far as i know in touch it's just a matter of clicking an empty field in the launcher and navigating to the shortcut you created).
Good luck.

keyboard/softkey shortcuts?

I've been searching for awhile on this forum, but I still can't find a way to create a shortcut that takes you DIRECTLY to a new text message or new calendar item.
Since I have my calendar on the homescreen, the only reason I actually go into the calendar app is to create stuff - why not just have the shortcut directly to it?
This seems like it would be relatively easy to do, but any ideas on this or something like it would be greatly appreciated Ideally, I'd like to set my 2 homescreen softkeys to those for one-touch access.....
thanks in advance
jm
you can use the attached file for sms sending. it's a standart eten's utility. place it anywhere and make a shortcut to it)

Request: Frequently Called Widget

I was thinking it's be pretty slick to have a widget that displays your frequent calls on the home screen like the tab inside dialer, something that updates as your calls change, doesn't seem like it would be terribly difficult to code.
does something like this possibly exist already?

I know of a way to create a folder with favorite callers.....but not a widget
in contacts long press on contact place them in favorites.
long press homscreen create a folder pick starred contacts.
I was actually talking about the "frequently callerd" under the favorites. Those are changing all the time, so it'd be slick if you could have a widget that auto updates as well.

How to create/modify snote templates?

The templates that come with snote have fields like date and time and other such objects not available within snote itself. The templates that are pre-packaged are nice but I would like to add others.
How do you create snote templates? Is there an app for this? Is there a how-to that details the extra features that you can put in a template?

Also the possibility of using your own pictures as background would be great

Just wondering if anyone has worked out how to change the included templates yet?

For the Templates Background to be change, the images in the "template_custom_bg_q1" folder inside the apk need to be changed. It contains all the backgrounds for SNote.
For complete templates, you need to create SNB files and place them in folder assets\templates.
Not sure if this is in the Galaxy Note (phone) version of S-Notes but in the Note 10.1 (8013) there is an option to import your own image as a background file. Not sure about how to get the input fields to work but you can import a new image.
How to create a S-Note Template from a PDF file
When I imported pdf files, I just started Snotes, the app, not a new note, and under the menu picked import. Choose the pdf file but if you get the box that asks what to use to open it, ignore it, click on the screen with your pdf, make sure the file is selected and choose done up at the top. you'll magically go back to the snote screen with your pdf document showing. In order to save it, you'll have to at least make a mark and then can erase it so the save option will be available. When it's the blank you'd like to save to use each time, you can name it and save it as it is. Just be careful that whenever you open it to start a new blank, you need to rename the changed document so it doesn't overwrite your blank form. If it's helpful, when you're ready to save the 'template' open the menu and choose set as shortcut. That will give you the fresh template on your home screen. I put several running notes on my home screen that way and a blank 'template' - an Snote the way I like it set up. Just be careful not to overwrite it as I've accidently done a few times. Now I have extra blank copies.
