This Qur'an Viewer was developed for my own use and will be invaluable to anyone who has memorised the Quran and wants to view two-pages at once so that it looks very similar to the mushaf.
Two types of Indo-Pak script are available, as well as two types of Uthmani script.
WVGA (800x480) resolution is an absolute necessity to run this application, any higher or lower resolution will probably not work properly and has not been tested.
You may find the size of the script is a little small, but as a Hafiz I find it invaluable as a quick reference when out and about.
You can click the page to move next/previous. You can also click the upper part of the page to go next/previous juz or surah.
You can choose from three bookmark positions, which will automatically remember your page position on each of the three virtual bookmarks.
Download it here. Unzip and see readme.txt for full installation instructions:
http://www.acclaimit.co.uk/downloads/HolyQuranWVGA_Release_20091001.zip
*** Please completely uninstall the previous Quran13Line application if you installed it before. This new application uses all new script images and a different folder structure. ***
Screenshots attached.
Jazzak Allah Khair
Could you please tell me which screen resolutions are compatible ?
qvga,vga,wqvga,wvga ???
Thank you
I'm sorry, WVGA (800x480) resolution is an absolute necessity to run this application, any higher or lower resolution will not work and has not been tested.
Thank you very much
DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED
It is wonderful !
But could we get better Pictures ? with better script ?
Jazak-Allah, I'm glad it works. I tried my best to make the pictures look good using the 480 pixels page height so that we can fit two pages on-screen at a time. It's not going to be possible to make it any better unless we have more pixels to play with, or do you have any alternative ideas?
What do you mean by better script? Which part of the script are you having difficulty with exactly?
Thanx for your reply
I meant a different set of pictures, even the 15 line ones
attached are two samples (Zipped with WinZip)
and if you like, I can guide you to the link where you will be able to download the whole set of the first or the second sample.
Thanx again
I see. You forgot the attachments.
Please let me know the link to the whole sets of any other images you know of and I'll see what I can do... 15 or other lined ones, but I will have to rename the application too
I've resized the sample images to 480-pixel height. See attached.
I think the script on these images is much finer than the 13-line ones and is unreadable with two pages on-screen at a time. It would make more sense to show a full page at a time for the 15-line ones, which does not quite fit with the original design goal of this application.
I guess the answer would be to create a new application called "Quran15Line" showing one page at a time, but I am not sure how many people would be interested in this. Poll?
So? have you checked the samples ?
I guess the images without the frames can be visualised better especially when two of them are joined together on a horizontal WVGA screen, right ?
waiting for your reply
Well, as I have mentioned in my previous post, ( sorry just seen ur answer ), the ones without the frame are better.
Regarding your suggestion of the "Single Page", I don't think too many people will be interested in it since the images are originally taken from a software with a single page, full screen style.
These are the links to the 'non frame images' try them and give me your feedback ( Horizontal and Vertical )

http://www.4shared.com/file/97539687/b3476020/h_wvga.html
Thanx again
Ahh, about your attachment, in fact they both seem readable ! and do not forget that this software is intended for a 'two page style' which means that it is obviously with smaller pages.
I am so interested in the new images !
hope you can make them.
and regarding the software, you can change the options in the TOOLS key, to 13 lines ( your old images ) and 15 lines ( my suggested images ) !
What do you think ???
Jazakhallah Khair Brother Ashiq
Inshallah you will receive Sadqah Jariya every time i use it
this is what i have been looking for for ages
if you do update it can you consider a transalation in english which corresponds to same
13 line quran if possible,maybe i am asking too much
but thanks anyway
Salaams
I was already considering English translation which should correspond with the script. However, it will take a while to do this because there are so many English translations and because we have tell the application which aayaat are on each page so that they can be matched up to the translation. It may take a few weeks, but Insha-Allah I will work on it during any spare time I have.

This application is designed for WVGA to show two pages per screen, so unfortunately I cannot use the pdaquran images. I would urge you to contact pdaquran and ask them to provide you with a Windows Mobile application (they already provide an iPhone one). In any case, couldn't you just download the PDF and view it using Adobe Reader one page at a time?
Dear monzoyt and all - thank you for the various uthmani images you sent - I am currently preparing the Uthmani/Madinah images and will release a new application within a few days InshaAllah.
It takes a while because I have cropped the images to maintain high quality after resizing and need to also match up the bookmarks to the page numbers, and also need to render the page numbers in arabic on the page sides due to the fact that the images do not have enough space to render the page numbers at the top.

UPDATE:
I believe I have a solution for poor quality wallpaper image!
I have explained it in the thread in general Hack and App forum (link below).
Would like some of the developers dealing with background images to check that thread out (Mun_Rus, you especially).
This solution at this moment requires using Manila editor to update the files, but also opens a door to a very cool feature I think many would be interested in: having 2 different wallpapers for portrait and landscape.
Please, show some attention to this!
Rozenthal
Hi guys,
I opened up a thread on the good ol' bad quality wallpaper issue that's been hanging around Touch HD from day 1.
It seems there might be a way to solve this after all. The thread is here.
Apparently, there is an image compression algorithm being applied to wallpaper images before they go to the screen, and this is what's causing the low-quality appearance. This is a special compression algorithm that's not available in standard graphic editing programs such as Photoshop.
However, there is also an XDA user made software that was originally designed to convert VGA Manila interface images to QVGA devices. The author of that software has implied that it might be possible to use his software to achieve better results. There is also some other interesting stuff.
So, please, people with Manila skills, join us on that thread so we can finally get a solution for this.
Noteriffic 0.53
Copyright (C) 2004 Rudis Muiznieks
Noteriffic is a quick little app I wrote because I felt that the PPC was
lacking a nice, simple, free note keeping/structuring application that has a
desktop counterpart....
All credit goes to Rudis, but now we have WVGA-Screens, so :
Could anybody of those famous and brave developers
compile this VB-Project for >> WVGA << ?
(Its working fine with QVGA and VGA)
Thanks a lot
Creature/entity appeared in mirror,
LOL
kahe40, I wanted to change something in this app the other day so downloaded a trial version of visual studio from MS plus dotnet compact framework. It let me edit the Noterrific source code and compiled a new version fine. I'm sorry I don't have time right now to work out incorporating WVGA, but thought you might like to know what I found out.
ps. if anyone wants the new source/compilation I can post. I simply added the ability for the app to remember which node it is on and return there next time it opens (otherwise it always ended up opening way down the list which drives me mad).
thanks ddk2, please have nice holidays, maybe later we can see...
what do you think about a dark grey background with white text ?
dont know, maybe there are problems with icons and checkboxes ?
and second: in settings, there is: use smaller font for list/display
would you please change to: use bigger font (only one step)
kahe40, did a very quick patch for you, no longer have large/small font, just textboxes so you can set your font size.
Source attached. Find exe's in each project (pda/desktop) in subdir bin\Release.
This version has my mods as described above.
Before you use it, take a copy of your data file (ntn ext) as mine was cleared out somewhere during testing and had to restore. I don't think its a bug, just something from testing, but take backup just to be safe.
Also did a quick test of grey background. Doesn't look that good to me, icons didn't come out well etc. Also presents issues that unless hardcode to grey, then need to make user option to set colour and that's a whole lot of frigging around....be my guest
very nice, good job, thanks a lot my friend
kahe40, don't know if you are still watching this but I just discovered I made a cockup in the last piece of code. I misinterpreted the use of one variable and the resultant problem shows up next time you go to add a node (I haven't added one for quite a while).
This version has corrected that. Also, changed the way I had it remembering which node it was on between sessions. Now saves with the apps variables (a sep file) rather than in the note file itself. Plus side is its much faster closing the app. Another sideaffect is that when syncing the file between pda and desktop, they each have their own memory of the last used node.
Yes, I am guilty my friend,
I traded my TouchHD for an iPhone, dont want to be banned from
this forum, but - man, oh man - what a wonderful OS ...
So I use the old version as shopping-list with my KS20 (QVGA).
Will test your new version soon, thanks a lot.
hello there
I've found this app some weeks ago to keep track of my actions on my work

Hi all!
This is the PocketPC Version (Viewer) of PVD the very best program to organize your movies.
You can download the PC version from http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/.
My thoughts were: what is the best movie managing and cataloging software worth while in the movie store and searching for a title... or sitting in front of the TV and trying to remember what cool movie I could watch...
That, and enjoying to write software for my mobile phone, were the reasons for mobilePVD.
The software is published at PVD's home and at xda-developers place.
How it works
First of all, you have to get PVD and enter your movies. After that, make a XML export. This writes a file containing the movie information and a directory containing the pictures. Take both and copy them onto your device. I recommend to copy them onto the SD card in a sub directory PVD.
Download mobilePVD and install it on your device. When starting, you will have to select the XML file by clicking Menu->Open DB. Your can select other languages and other skins (if someone makes them ).
When going to a sublist in mobilePVD (i.e. viewing the movie details or selecting directories) and you want to get back, just slide with your finger over the list from left to right...
How to translate
In the program directory on the device is a sub directory called "Languages". Within you find the language files. I deployed English and German so far. To make own translations just copy a file to your desktop, open it with any text editor and translate. Please publish your translation on either forum, so I can build the next version with more supported languages.
How to skin
also in the program directory you will find a sub directory "Skin" with all the images I use. The images in "Manila WVGA" are for a resolution of 800x480. If you like you can take those bitmaps and change them to fit other resolutions and other colors. Don't forget to adapt the settings in the skin.ini file.
And please share your work with us and publish your skins on either forum. I will put them in the download section.
Have fun!
Obelix
Changelog:
2.1 Filtering is back and actors are grouped by first letter.
2.0 uses virtual mode to load more movies before reaching end of memory
1.1 out of memory problem fixed
1.0 Initial release
If you like my work, you can buy me a glass of wine
Version 2.1 of mobilePVD
I was hoping this allows you to enter movie info directly on mobilePVD. A desktop entry method is rather inconvenient. Would that be possible?
Does this also mean I have to re-export everytime I add movies? I took a look at the desktop version and it is very good. I can see why it is more practical using the desktop for entry of movie info.
Obelix_A, I have exported some movies and I must say it looks really nice on my HD2 although it is still not very stable, sometime I get an error that quits the program. It's only 3 movies so I am wondering if it may sow down when I have much more (2,800 in my collection). I would love to have Ratings and duration. It is missing after export. Thanks, this is great for movie lovers just like IMDB Mobile. I am just surprised that there is not much feedback yet.
I like it to a while to sort all my movies and still didnt get all the pictures from IMDB, hey ho did it manually, i need to change the skins to VGA how do i go about that im a bit of a noobie when it comes to skins?
The Actor list is huge and is close to impossible to scroll all the way down to "T" etc. Can we have a sort of filter to search actor names? trev666, use IMP plugin for movie posters. It's excellent.
@Kensong cheers mate
it works well after i restarted my phone, without changing anything from wvga to vga so im happy, thanks man not looking forward to adding all my movies though lol
Ok so i now have a HD2.... works great
great app, thanks for sharing it
here we go with Version 2.0 of mobilePVD. It now uses a virtual mode of the SliderList, what means, that it can load more movies before running out of memory.
If it runs on your devices as stable as it does on mine, we can start adding new features...
Really nice work mate
Really nice work
If you don't mind, i have share it HERE.
Please feel free to drop me a comment if you have anything else to add or in case i have missed anything. Cheers~
just released version 2.1
Filtering is back now and actors are grouped by first letter
I have installed v2.1 right now.
If I click on one of the "-" e.g. "- Actors" I get an exception:
"RemoveItem in virtual mode not allowed"
I am very interested in the development of mobilePVD since I would love to have my movie list on my phone (TD2).
Is mobilePVD a "one man show" or are you planing to involve more developers?
I will check this and fix it...
Yes mPVD is a one-man-show. you can ask my friend amirdt (here on XDA) if he wants to join the project...
Actually I wanted to ask if I could help you with mPVD
what exactly do you want to add?
the only thing I could imagine right now, is another way to read the data.
play around with PVD and the exported data (XML) and how fast you can read it.
currently I am reading with XmlReader.Read and evaluate the nodes. If you can read faster, this would help. other proposals welcome
Here is just a spontaneous list:
- WM 6.5.5 Problem with menus. The black background (when menues are displayed) does not cover the whole screen. Above there is some space visible. This is because the top bar (where the clock is) is smaller and the windows task bar is bigger in WM 6.5.5 (Sorry, cant supply a picture now how it looks like)
- Filter Actors: Add a search field also
- Add a clear button to the search fields to clear the field easily
- Add (Readd?) a ">" to the Movie list to open the movie details (I think the ">" was already there in an earlier version.
- Maybe make the UI somehow less sensitive. At least on my device it moves very quickly. E.g. I cant open the details view without moving the movie list view up or down accidentally.
- Add "Reset all Filters" menu item to the Filter Menu.
- Remove the search field in the detailed movie view to get more space to view the details.
- Maybe make the "letter lines" (+A, +B, ..) in the actors view a little bit thicker so that it is easier to open/close them with a larger thumb
- Maybe add the "letter lines" (+A, +B, ..) to the movie list also. Dont know, how large collections will be handled right now.
- Add more filters like rating (stars...)
- Add movie trailer support (e.g. prepare trailers on PC (conversion etc.) and copy them to device. Link from within mPVD to start media player on device)
- ...
So where can I get the source code to get started with it?
Regards
Al
ok, ok
I will prepare the sources and make it available for you via SVN, so we can handle developing both.
By now, the list won't move when clicking. I changed that... (but all other things from your list can/need to be done)
so, drop me a PM with your wished user name and password for SVN and give me little time to prepare...
alfish2000 now officially joined the development of mobilePVD. So let's welcome him
thanks for your support!

Hi there,
I found today a website which contains all applications for WP7. You can use specific filters like language, price and category. You can also get statistics about WP7 apps. I think it's better than wp7applist because very simple and intuitive. It's easier to find applications.

Hi MrDesch,
You're the only one of the owners of WP7 sites who responded to my criticism.
Thanks.
I present my point of view, as a developer.
We both have a common goal - give the user the ability to make the right choice by the shortest way.
Currently there are near the 7600 applications on the WP7 marketplace.
Very good, but most of them weak and a great risk WP7 marketplace transformation to the garbage place.
I am disappointed with Microsoft in this regard.
I will not even talk about the lack of moderation of false feedback, about black PR, etc., etc.
Sorry for off topic.
More details about your sites tomorrow in PM.
Thanks again.

(BTW if you check both Free & Trial you will discard ~50% applications)

1. Text on the background image overlaps the top banner and right menu block.
See attached screen shots for home window and product window.
I'm using Firefox 3.6.13
2. IMHO download button should be detached from the ads block,
because end user may be confused by the info on that ads.
(this is against google rules related to the ads placement)
Also would be better to make accent on download button by color (light green).
See my other screen shots for product download section and my suggestion with detached button.
3. Price info fixed, but info in the program description and program screen shots still out of date.

Much better than initial view.
App description has been updated properly.
Good idea with "video" section and clickable links in description.
Some problems still exist:
1. Incorrect screen shots update, see attached images.
a)your screen shots set;
b)original screen shots and their order, as they published on WP7 hub (7 items)
2. And text overlapping looks not good (third image in attachment)
Some words about app submitting logic on the WP7 hub.
When developer submit new application or update app to the new version all published data could be changed.
After publication on the WP7 marketplace developer has the ability to correct price information only for current publication. All other data remain the same.
Thanks
All images are in your cache browser. You have to clear it to see the actual screenshots. The text overlapping is alse corrected. It's not perfect but it looks better on high resolution
Yes, I know about that. Thanks s_v_l
Hi! I'm ertha from BKK and now i'm investing on one application. To start with, i'm not developer myself, so some of my vocab might look silly or may not sound right for developer (maybe) so i apologize for that
Now i'm struggling with my apps development, since the agreement i've made is that i'll responsible for the design and images for every stage in game, i'm facing the difficulty for the images optimization.
For the original images, they are downloaded from my account in ShutterStock (biggest quality) i have 2 of them for each stages (2 different images).
Then i use "tinypng" converter in website to reduce their size in order to optimize my application size. However the size is still too big (according to developer) he's looking for something smaller?
Do you have any suggestion to "optimize these images" that are already converted by "tinypng" ? My developer tell me some method like save it to jpg first and then convert it back to png? is that a really good idea?
Really thank you for every answer, i truly appreciate all the help coming here

Hey there, Ertha.
I'll tell you the way I optimize images and see if this may help you.
When you save a .png, it saves uncompressed(or very little) which means your data is pixel-for-pixel. Highest quality you can reach.
When you save it as a .jpeg, it runs an algorithm and compresses what you have thus making the file size smaller, yet still producing a clear image.
So in essence, his theory will work, and you can tell him you did exactly that. Pretty much all mobile platforms will handle a .jpeg as well so my recommendation would be to tell the dev to use them.
I use Photoshop for my image compression. When I have the image I'd like open in Photoshop, I choose "save for Web and Devices" which will give you an optimization screen. Most of the time you can still get a really good image if you save as a jpeg and reduce the quality to 60%. This will greatly lower the file size and garner the "optimization" he is looking for.
A further recommendation would be to use 1:1 aspect ratio(square) images to optimize across devices if you're new to it. It will make life much easier later on.
Thank you so much Im Saint!
So i can save for web to "jpg" first and then save back to "png" again?
