Hi
Has anyone seen a countdown timer that sits on the todayscreen? I am looking for a freeware version.
The reason is I am off on a holiday in less than 3 months and want to know how many days and hours till I go just by looking at my phone - (without opening a program hence the today screen) I have searched the forums for a few weeks but haven't found anything yet (but that could just be my searching technique!!).
Once the holiday is up I would look to use it for other events that are coming up.
thanks in advance
Wow, you must really want that holiday badly.
Job sucks, huh?
lol, yep!!
i'm going to new zealand for 3 weeks (and visiting someone out there ) - going to be hard to come back after!!
I'm also competing in a Half Marathon a few weeks prior, and need to know how many days left I have for training at a glance. So ideally the today app should pick up on the dates from the calender and then display them on the today screen (I think thats the ideal way...but i'm not a programmer so wouldn't know for sure! lol). I've seen quite a few countdown type programs but none that sit on the today screen (from what I can tell - want to preserve battery life so don't want it running constantly which is another reason why I like the idea of it going on the today screen and the Touch HD (or mine at least) needs the battery life preserving as much as possible - usually manage 2 days before charging - have run it out in 12 hours and less though before now....and once managed 4 days before charging....but that was without talking to anyone at all!!!)
Still no luck finding what i'm after - searched here and other forums - if anyone has seen something that is similar to what i'm looking for, please feel free to pm me.
does anyone know how to program this?
cheers

Hi,
Try this little CAB used to use it on my tytn but not tried it on my HD.
Hope it works, enjoy your holls.
(it works on the today screen so cant use it with TF3D)
install then soft reset, then activate through settings.
regards
Jon
Thanks Jon, just what was needed and another satisfied xda-dev customer!
Edit update:
installed and running fine on the HD so far.
Have a great holiday. Hope she's worth it.
(BTW, whereabouts in NZ are you going?)
So do I!! lol
Going all over, visiting both Islands -North and South and trying to see and photograph as much as possible. Will be there for 3 weeks but the time will fly by too quickly before the reality of coming back to work sets in
My next task for the HD is to find some New Zealand maps for TT7 (in English of course) .....time to start another search!!

So Jon, it works in TF3D homescreen, no need for second today ? Is that right ?

Hi
I set mine up by going to the Start menu (I'm not using TF3D) settings, Today icon, then the Items tab, then touch T-Day Counter and press options on the right, then just input the the date you need to count down to and press OK top right. (making sure that it has a tick on the tickbox) and it should appear on the Today screen telling you how many days left
hope that helps

Hi PPC mages, I've got a small problem. I've tried to search a very easy program which resembles the classic paper diary.
Idea of this soft.. Screen which has seven parts (basically days). Every Day should have a date and maybe names (because of name days). Into these "tabs" I need only to write. Not ringing, no pop-ups, no vibrations, nothing, just type on keyboard. Don't know if I'm able to write about my idea in english so imagine one list of the simplest diary and you'll got sense of my idea.
My question is simple.. Does this soft (or very similar) exist? Or can it be programmed by any good man/woman? I think it would't be so hard and I will be very grateful for that.
Remember I don't want any calendar - am owner of Calendar touch and it isn't the way of annotation I want.
Thanks for reading and especially for answers!
Hmm... Excel?
Great idea but not as elegant as simple software..
I'm not sure exactly what you want, but have a look at Phatnotes:
http://www.phatware.com/index.php?q=product/details/phatnotes/screenshots
This is very customizable and will let you have a blank page per day with buttons for seven days and weeks.
Perhaps this works for you ?
If you were Japanase I would strongly recommand this one : http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=41640
Reading the translated doc, I could configure it easily, and even if there are some display bugs due to japanase font replaced by squares, the result is quite usable and simple.
I dream that someone makes the same in english, french.
Thanks for tips, now I'm going to try the first one (hope it wouldnt be hard to cutomize it). The second one doesn't seem to be just diary, it is very similar to normal calendar. I'm surprised that the sipliest normal diary doesn't exist, but maybe someone will find anything.
Thans again!
Unluckily it wasn't what I need, but thanks..
I've made a very simple picture to explain my idea when my english isn't so good .
http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/Sean880/Diary.jpg
This is a basic idea of appearance. And functions?
1) Slide to right/left - go to next/previous week (princip of book)
2) Type into the lines (maybe with possibility to set up the font - color?/bold/italic)
3) Possibility to change names in any system file (depend on country) - it makes easy future translations
4) Next features - changing colors based on days etc.
I'm completely amateur so I don't know anything about software making but I still think this software wouldn't be so hard to develop, am I right?
Thanks for reflections!
Hmm it seems that similar program doesn't exist but would it be really hard to develop it?
Till now i have found just about everything in xda! Even a similar thread for the same problem but no solution at all!
Thing is, my hd takes too long to wake up for an incoming call..resulting in missed calls all the time..Ring starts in about 3,5 tones..!!! It wakes almost instandly (backlight) but it takes a lot of time to draw the picture etc and THEN starts ringing..
[i am on MIRIS V18 wm6.5, using the default WM dialer with the sliders (not htc's one!) and csdev for autolocking after wake up]
I had similar problems in many roms, even 6.1 .. with the fastest one being 1,5 tone then ring.. Its allready too long for me! I have tried some tweaks, i am not using mp3 for ringtone, using instant ring from hdtweak and no ring delay setting etc..still no luck..
What can be done? I know that many users have the same problem, even with stock roms.. Its same for such a device to be able to do everything sooo sweat but not the phone function!!
So any special tricks?? (font, gdi cache etc settings?) i heard that with sktools and advanced configuration tool etc you can do actually much about that!
Feel free to post your experinces as well, hoping that someone can provide us with a solution or a worthy workaround..!!
I've got the same problem, always have to call people back. Mostly takes about 5 seconds before the answerbutton works, while ringtone is already pissing off the other passengers in the bus
I still think the slow buildip is caused by Wisbar Advance, I used the HD Tweak aswell.
Very Good POST yes you are right many peoples have the same problem i have the same problem!
So i try with HD tweak "Ring without delay" i try with Advanced config and etc Again the same really when someone ring me no matter from the ringtone or anything the phone start ringing after few seconds!
I make few test and what i saw is that if the phone is sleeping when someone call you take longer your phone to wake up and ring
then i try again with no sleepy phone, again ring with delay so i can say if the phone sleep he need few seconds to ring like 5 seconds if the phone not sleep he need 3-4 seconds But at all This is serious problem and maybe is time we to fix this!
I don`t see any point this device to be able to do so much things and we always to Upgrade them but the phone function that we use everyday to make us troubles!
I have this problem with the stock room when the phone was brand new, after i flash the phone with Davideuck V 5 have the same and now im with Davideuck v7 and again is the same ! so no matter what kind of room or radio version you use this problem is real... and really the phone ring with DELAY
Will be perfect if anyone can find desigion of this problem and our phones to start ring immediately without any delay !
Thanks
I have been struggling for months with well-known this 2-sec (far more than this !) delay. The HD tweak didn't work for me either. Furthermore, it has been reported that even if this setting is changed, it is self-reset after a soft reset !
The only solution I found is replacing the HD Caller ID with the WM default one. It is very ugly compared to the modern HTC one, but now my phone takes only 1 sec to respond, that is, wake up, show the Caller ID screen and start ringing.
This replacement can be done from the settings of the HD tweak.
Please let me know if this works for you ! I'm running stock ROM.
Yes if we use the default WM dialer the PHONE is very very fast and ring without ANY delay but its very UGLY so maybe the problem is in the dailer!
Like i say no matter what room you use yes its the same for me with the default WM and the phone just think faster than me
Maybe some programers must to chek this out why this heppand maybe the HD dialer is too heavy?
Yes,thats true! But i am using wm dialer, not htc's one!! Still far from fast..(although i am on wm 6.5 where the default wm dialer with the answering sliders looks awesome, its buggy and slow as hell..[because it needs that the phone is locked in order to run so])
So as i asked around in a major greek forum i have found out that 99% of hd users have the same issue! [that 1% doesn't give a s&@t !]
Here too..What can we do about it..?I am starting to think the 1,5 tone delay as acceptable value..[told you i am on 3+ right now!!] Does anybody know if windows 6.5 that lock with external programm [like csdev] on wake up take normaly so long? Ideas...?
it's always not a good idea to fresh new rom too often

That has nothing to do with the problem man..!
If we could find a way to minimize the load on wakeup!! (so the hd has nothing to load more than the phone function!)is it possible?
Like i told you with the default WM dialer with WM 6.1 the phone ring without delay and is like every normal phone so this mean that the problem is in the dialer..
I think that the HD dialer is too heavy or buggy and this is the reason why take so long to wake up.. the phone!
Maybe some programers must to chek this out what is the diference betwen the default WM dialer and HD dialer we all know what is the diference.. but i mean the diference not how they look like how they are made and all other litle codec files..
So maybe we can find solution to update the HD dialer to be fast as the default WM one..
No matter you are with WM 6.5 and etc.. because till the problem is not solved no matter what room you will use the dialers will be the same made from the same files..
to resolve this we need to know what exactly is the problem to be able to fix it!
Like i say i think that we can find answers in the DIALER but im not programer..
this is very true and this is a very good post gonna supscribe to instant email about it right now ... i think the problem is not only in the dialer i have a stock rom and i had the problem since the very first day but i got a greater delay after installing spb pocket plus while i am not actually using manilla anymore and even a greater delay after installing wisbar advance 3 ... maybe the solution would be in the processor priorities i dont know
So far, i haven't found any solution .
I already made the same post a few months ago :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3902624#post3902624
there's got to be a way guys!!
Some time ago, both sides recording was a total NO(!) for htc devices!! They say it was HARDWARE ISSUE and nothing could be done!(for over a year+) Then .. ICR and..voila! We even got tmc now! !
Is it possible to have the slugiest of all phones?? no way!
I think is a question of time we to find solution for our problem with the phone ringing delay!
Managed to get it to 1,5 rings in the same situation!( as i described before, no rom change etc..i was on 3,5 + rings remember!!)
I installed advanced config tool and played with the phone and performance settings.. performance almost set to max values..(font cache etc..)
Phone settings no delay, end key delay from 3000ms to 0 etc..(there are some settings there, so be sure to know what you are doing or backup first!)
Think i can get it to 1..!which will be extremely fast from what i experienced so far!!
Note: the improvements are for the second+ call after a softreset! The first one is ALWAYS slugish!!
Hi kostasalfa,
Mind posting your Adv Config settings? Thanks.
After long... long search I found maybe a solution:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Script value to av0pr
I'm going to test but it seems the true way ^^ (thx to AX3L)
D'rath
Ok .. not a "true" solution but got INSTANT ring! (before the end of the first tone!!)
As i said i was on wm 6.5 using the kinda buggy default lock etc...After my advan.config setting which was an improvement i did the following! Stopped csdev and so the deafult lock! I did go back to S2U2 !! (warning,important: set delay after wake up to 300 or better 400 ms!!) And then i tried resco contact manager!(again!) But there is a new beta free for all of you in their forum!( http://www.resco.net/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=24957 ) Set it to HANDLE INCOMING CALLS! Soft reset.. and voila!! (install s2u2 in device..resco better in sd!)
As i said..not a true solution but i GOT INSTANT RING!!
DONT FORGET TO USE HD TWEAK TO REVERT TO DEFAUL WM DIALER, NOT HTC;S ONE!!!
Try abd tell me if it worked for you!
i use the new energy rom 6.5 standard hav no problems with ring time or receive any late calls or miss calls u guys must check out the roms before loading them
Thanks for suggesting to try Resco Contact Manager. The new beta version seems to have corrected the incoming call delay. So far, my HD responded just before the first ring ends. Still testing.

Good news! Resco did it i think..
(i may try the energy rom as wingtytn suggested but i dont think its a roms issue..Ps:wingtytn try to call yourself from another phone to see WHEN it starts ringing..if you got no issues i would lke to know!you use wm stadar dialer?etc!)
Is there any way to select the snooze interval on the pro2?
Right now, when I get a reminder, the snooze only has a duration of 5 minutes. There is no way to select a different interval.
On my Kaiser (and many other phones) I could select a snooze duration (ranging from a few minutes to a few days).
This one is driving me nuts. If I want a reminder a few days in advance, only being able to snooze for 5 minutes is ridiculous!

I miss this function too, i was using my kaiser as my morning alarm clock, and it was great to be able to sleep 15 more minutes or 1 hour if i was really tired just by snoozing it...
But now with the TP2, i cannot do this anymore (5 minutes is not enough, and then i dont want to be late for work )
If i recall correctly Windows Mobile 6.5 has functionality for setting the snooze time
This solution for the Blackstone works also fine on the Rhodium.
Thanx to CrAcKwHoRe
Sorry, but this solution still doesn't work for me... before (Ipaq 914c with WM6.1), if I received an alarm notification I could choose a time of 5-10-15-30-60 or som minutes for snoozing time... now I can only choose "snooze" (for 5 mins) or ignore...
DUTCH ROM
Try changing it manually:
Start a registry editor and navigate to key:
HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM
Change the value of CustomUIDLL from NotificationLayout.dll to NotificationLayoutNew.dll
Just add New, it won't find that .dll and starts the old interface, with the snooze option.
Don't forget, after the registry change, turn the TP2 off and back on to activate.
Works for me like a charm (TP2 WWE, but should also work on a dutch machine)
Have you tried using gAlarm? www.ageye.de
It's pretty good! I also use gProfile to automatically switch the phones profile (silent, vibrate, etc.) depending on the time of day.
This fixed work perfectly with my TP2.....Thanks very much.
NJV
This helped a lot, thank you!
But, isn't there a way (registry?) in order to add custom values like 30mins, 2hrs, 4hrs, 8hrs?
Thank you!
Yup, confirmed working on TP2 :> Thanks!

I agree! I don't like the need to install separate programs while this functionality may as well be available out of the box!
I would love that too, but I'm afraid that's not a reg change, but build into a dll
If someone knows how to change that, please tell us!

Now, if only the TP2 had a scroll wheel....
Is there a way to add more snooze intervals: like 30 mins, 2 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 2 days...etc???
Coucou!
Once again, is there any way to customize snooze intervals???
Thanks for those who may have an idea...
cRaCKwHoRe's Snooze ...works, but...
it looks ugly - it introduces piece of old interface into new environment... it is not finger friendly...personally, I am pissed enough even to be reminded that to have to use this old ugly dialogue to get rid of it makes me feel even worse - it is hard to believe that there is no solution to this - mabe some app that would handle all alarms including the appointment and task ones...or at least dialogue (6.5 looking) with more times to select from...I spent literally ours googling it with no success - does anybody know some solution? Thanks in advance

I agree, I installed it thinking it would use the Touch Flow interface and allow me to set a longer snooze.
I like how Touch Flow lets you see the info if you have a con call number in the appointment, it makes it easy to dial.

Hi,
I want to point out, this small (cab) found a rom for HD2 Laurentius26 (Thanks) link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044596, running on a HD MINI. It allows automatic rotation (landscape). I did tests on the main features of HD MINI, from start menu seems to work well. Obviously does not work perfect on home screen and dialer. is useful to me for example, in the Remove Programs screen.....
As Laurentius26 realized, would be nice to create for HD MINI, a dialer (phone keypad) to insert into a rom cooked .... combined with the cab autorotate.
hi, does it work in the sense? i mean for example in the music tab..does it rotate into landscape same as on hd2?
hi, I tried it now because I did not know if it worked, because I do not use Music tab.
It 'clear that they can not run those programs, which have no skin in the landscape. The CAB autorotate changes the (log system) on the instructions MANILA. I think! but inside 56KB adds nothing !!!!!
In fact, I think, Laurentius26 on ROM FOR HD2 added skins to PHONE DIALER to operate in landscape.
As I have said does not work with all programs in rom: dialer (phone keypad), etc. HOME SCREEN. . MUSIC TAB LANDASCAPE in fact it does not work with BSB Tweaks !!!!!
Do not be hard for something that is given for FREE!
First of all there are already a few threads which specifically discuss about this matter with different apps (Probably around 3).
As mentioned above, the problem does not lies on the AutoRotate app but Manilla itself so unless someone is willing to create HVGA landscape Manilla skin there wont be any landscape Manilla view for our HD Mini.
Considering the low activity of HVGA skin and app development, the chance is slim ....
In fact it is so Ahinigami. I cooked a Rom for hd mini. I'm looking at this work, an application that allows autorotate COMPLETE, to be included in ROM.
(As I said above) I opened this thread with the hope, too, that someone could make a skin for HD MINI laurentis26 as it did, at least for the telephone keypad.
But here it seems only .......... : download and install!
Update
And in fact sometimes life rewards bold .......
I was reminded that long ago I published a thread (TUTORIAL MOBILE MAGIC).
From that folder (attached to the thread) I managed to build a (cab package) and fully functional. I think I continue on this road ....
telephone keypad, is it the usual dialer we're using "cprog"?
If yes, it does support landscape mode ....
I just downloaded the dialer to pack kitchens.
then placed on ROM to HD2. but I just did download.
in the little free time I'm looking for a good rom to join HD mini. Now I'm considering O2_uk
anyway .... and now that I think I can do now a (cab package), if I can send you a private pm
UPDATE:
I understood the potential of HD MINI. I spent a little time,
and I made a special cab for PHOTON. is the dialer pad (telephone keypad) that I said above.
From the first test seems to work fine (I used MOBILE MAGIC) is enclosed SCREENSHOT 2/ 3 / 4. Thanks to Ahinigami to the stimulus.
removed in error
Hi.
Thanks for Auto-rotate
If you create a cab , please upload it ...
If you're planning to cook AutoRotate app into your rom, I suggest using simpler and smaller app specifically just for this purpose.
I've tried the cab you attached in the first post and it was quite buggy (Sense tab is not functioning properly such as alignment) and without any blacklist/whitelist feature.
On the other hand Mobile Magic (Beta) is a rich feature app but comes with larger footprint.
If you've the time, pls do try out ChangeScreen. It has a simple and easy to use interface and smaller footprint.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw, if you're planning to include AutoRotate app into your Rom, do you plan to allow just a few selected app such as Shell32 (Start Menu), dialer, and Sense (When possible)?
Some programs are not rotate friendly and will stop working properly once rotated so you should take this into account too.
Hi Ahinigami ,
ChangeScreen I tested (I did not know) but absolutely bad (on my rom). It should immediately crash and lock system. I could not even evaluate the memory usage when this program is resident in memory.
However, I'm working on another program, and I am considering just the memory used, depending on the version used the same program. In fact, the features that I want to achieve are: the fluidity of the graphics, speed, low memory but also the workers!
For the delay on the dialer cab I apologize! Patience!
But I do not eat with it! I do this for a hobby ...... but I also have my job!
For tonight than upload a new thread in the dialer pad and the cab to rotate + tutorial. Afternoon do the last test and upload!!!
I see, take your time .... Having a new developer for HD Mini is a good news itself for me.
There is nothing I can do for you but I could at least help you to try out your new app and rom when released.
Ahinigami Thanks!
is a pleasure for me to be of help! Experience together!

Hola, great work you´re doing here
I´ve been comparing the Mini and the HD2 for a while now, and even though I´ve also achieved to rotate (force rotation) Manila/Sense, it´s not ported to landscape yet (7c60907d_manila, 22e41977_manila, 14394200_manila) and has never been. The fact is that we should have to decompile and mode some of the manila core files for it, assigning in those files the corresponding positions for the elements...
Now, if all you want to do is to be able to rotate everything else, that´s easier since a few reg entries will do that for quite some apps (see L26 rotation cab) OR by using a very simple and powerfull app like xHook or xtask. I use it on both my Mini and HD2 (yep, with Laurentius beta ROMs) and I can rotate "on demand" everything (except sense) by simply assigning the winflag softkey to the rotation of 270 degrees within xtask
Hi BHS_ Interceptor,
Thank you very much.
You gave some very interesting news!
I think it is the right way, ......
In fact that's what I'm trying to implement. From your suggestions, I will try to work .... because I want to get the final result that you wrote above. Well.

Hola Oregon, glad my post was useful. If there is anything else I can do, just let me know.
Btw, if you simply use the reg keys and also enable autorotate, the behaviour on the Mini will not suffer except on Sense. You would have to add a lot of exe´s to the white list and after installing new apps, some of this would have/need to be added as weel. Using xTask/xHook, you don´t have to worry about white list nor anything else, even about registry, since it rotates on demand what ever and when ever you press the set Key. You can also assign another key for it, but I like the win flag since we already have another one right below the softkey. If you replace the winfla icon with a "rotate" icon" then all looks perfect as well
Btw, on my HD2 (I´m also a member in Laurentius Platinum Beta team) I have assigned the button through the "build in" taskmanager Leo is using for the ROM...
