Voice Clock - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hi,
I have a small challenge for coders. Nothing complicated I think I was in the situation: walking to the train station running out of time a bit and I want to know what time is it. But pulling out PDA, switching display on a then these actions backwards I get an idea. What about to do a small application that would be running in background(can't be seen in f.e. WkTask... I think you know what I mean) And when I shake the phone it will literally tell me the time. So this is the basic idea. I think It would be also good to add a tab in setting, where you can set the sensitivity(power) of shaking needed. I know it would need some library with these sound, but If you are able able to deliver me the program and how the sound files should be named, I will make my own sound files. So if anyone is able to do this a would do it please email me on [email protected] so we can negotiate on the sound files and other things. Thanks a lot

Vasquez
I seem to recall a program called Vasquez Talk To Me - which was a talking clock program. If memory serves there was a program shortcut that spoke the time out loud (and did nothing else) - so that could be mapped using some other app. to run when the phone is shaken etc.. I'm sure a quick "google" for Vasquez Talk To Me will help you out!

G alarm has a talking clock component that is a separite install, I think ?.... check there website, free to download I think, though obviously u need G alarm, not sure weather this is just talking alarm or clock...?

Good alarm clock app?

Hey there people, nice to see flood of very good roms for our BAs around the forum any beyond. However, some of them do have issues, such as SMS notifications (I try to deal with those using Smiley SMS), but very annoying in some issues is also the alarm clock, which sometimes simply fails to work, and that can be very annoying.
Therefore, does anyone can recommend some good alarm clock application which will work reliably on WM 6 (ROM 5.63.11).
Thanks
whats wrong with the wm06 built in alarm clock?
Try pTravelAlarm http://www.burroak.on.ca/pta.html
For me GS Alarm Clock is the best...and it's free
SPB time 2 its OK
I was lookin' 4 a good alarm for about 2weeks and then I've found its really good. you can choose whole mp3. Pocketalarm http://rapidshare.com/files/18010275/PocketAlarm.v2.16.rar.html
Thanks for good suggestions people, I really had a hard time, since for some stupid reason the built in alarm clock was highly unreliable - sometimes it works and sometimes it didn't even though everything was set correctly (which led to me being late for work and a bug in the ROM cannot be used as an excuse ). It could be because of the ROM I am using. I tried all of those you suggested and GS is really neat.
Thanks everyone for a lot of help.

There is absolutely no problem with WM6 Alarm system.
I thoroughly checked it up and noticed following correct behavior:
1. System updates registries as soon as any alrm settings are changed
2. Notification queues are issued for the week replacing any other available for the week.
I am positive that system is working correctly.
What must have gone wrong with some of your devices that you must have taken system backup without clearing alarm settings totally and must have later on after hard reset, restored the backup. This would reinstall old queues as well new when you setup new alarms. You can get away with this issue by clearing all those notification queues still residing in the database.
If this works for you, make sure you always takeback with no alarms settings.
Thanks for the info, however, anytime I did new rom upgrade I did it without doing any backup, which means all settings were manually set after the upgrade - which means no backups to mess up the settings. Oh well, not a big deal anyway, as I said in my previous post that GS Alarm Clock, which I took later works perfectly.
Thanks anyway,
hi everyone!
is there a way to add custom sounds for the wm06 built n alarm clock?
and maybe for the reminders too?
if i move wav files to the windows folder, those file names show up in the sounds drop down menu, but wont play....
anyone?
regards,krz
Are you sure they are the correct wav files?

well... at least, i am sure, that they are WAV files and i can play them back in TCMP!
are there certain specifications, that wav files have to meet in order to be used as an alarm clock sound...? (eg.: max. file size, mono/stero, quality,...) ??
is it confirmed,that this should actually work that way (meaning to copy a wav file into windows folder for alarmclock use) ??
answers appreciated!
regards,krz
EDITED TO SAY: okay, it seems, that size, etc. does matter! i just got one working (redalert.wav)
anyone knows the excact secifications for working wav files...? is it just the size? or maybe the length of the file too?
Sound control
The problem i always had with the BA is the fact that the alarm would not go off if the phone is on silent. Which i keep my phone on most of the time, So when i forget to turn it on at night... I get get to yell "Oh Crap, Look at the time" to my wife.
Is there a program that will make sure the alarm goes off even if the sound is silent,
or is there a program that will change the sound at certian times, like at 6am turn sound on, at 9am turn sound off, then at 6pm turn sound on again?
Thanks
Again,
I must advise SPB Time, I do realise it isn't a free app but it's to my opinion the best, define as much alarms as you want, select mp3's or anything, it puts your volume to maximum if you choose so, or play ascending... and my favorite, upon alarm your comploete screen blanks and you have 2 huge buttons snooze and dismiss which you can't miss even with only 1 eye open... ;-)
The best is PocketAlarm. Try it u wont regret it. Link is on the first page. u can choose mp3 files not only wav.
I have just started using SPB Time... its a great program. You can set up as many alarms as you need, have them go off on certain days of the week. Everything is customizable, the repeats, the time it plays, length of snooze.
When the alarm goes off, there are nice large dismiss and snooze buttons.
nobody is talking about program size and memory usage on device, two criterias, which are very important for such a program....
which one is the smallest and lightest?
interessted,
krz
The cab for SPB Time is approx 4.42mb. Memory usage is not really a problem because the program doesn't need to be running for the alarms to work.
Pocket Alarm can not be used if you lock your phone it seems. Phone first has to be unlocked, which is not the case with e.g. ptravelalarm.
Alarm Clock Lite is free
For PPC and SP
CT Alarmclock is free to, only for SP
SpoonAlarm is free too. For all devices also 240*240 screens

Im a developer, I know some basics. Give me ideas.

As the title says, Im a developer but I dont know anything majorly complicated.
I want YOUR ideas for something to make.
Stuff I know:
Things to do with the file system - copy, paste, delete, create etc
Read/write/create text files
Simple or even more complex UIs (nothing too extreme though)
most of the basic stuff
Heres a video of stuff Ive done before:

If you have any idea for simple apps, please let me know and Ill tell you if I can make them or not
Thanks
Maybe a new app to replace and improve SmileySMS ( development is stopped, and on windows mobile we can't have smileys in sms without this buggy app).
I wish a prog for my HD2, very simple : Use Webradio (with url) as ringtone !
Hi Cris,
I am looking for an app that can do the following:
Disable the touchscreen.
Why?
It's annoying when you watch movies and accidentaly touch the screen (especially with core player).
The app would have to disable the touchscreen after a set time, so you have enough to start the movie (or other application).
A certain area of the screen would have to be defined as touchable, so that you can disable again. Maybe with a gesture? ie. swipe from bottom left hand corner to top right???
just an idea

Hi Cris,
Can I suggest a application that can do 2 things which I can't find something similar to this (suggestion).
To create a application for both "Shopping List" + "Inventory".
Let me know if you interested, I can share the idea ..
Hope you can consider it .. thanks

how about an application like e-mail and walk for the iphone..........so that wed be able to type and walk at the same time with the background being whats in front of us fed by our camera....
I would like a app that does the following:
All for the Sense music tab!
When NOT in a call:
Long press : Play / pause
Pressed twice : Next song
(If possible:
Pressed three times: previous song
pressed shot : call)
When you are being called:
short press: pickup / hangup
PLUS
The hardware buttons (buttons on the PHONE) MUST be disabled,
But ONLY when the headset is plugged in!
With no headset plugged in everything should be as normal!
Could some developer please make this?
Maybe you can use code from the following:

Great Greet Giblet
I've actually been pitching this one around but no luck yet ... A small GPS toggle cmd app. Here's an OSS project that may have usefull code.
What I would like it to have is:
1- Commands to toggle GPS on or off
2- Stay running and output number of connected satellites and connection status (position fixed/not fixed) as a reg name/value
3- Maybe other stuff (like coordinates, hour/date, update system time... but what I really want is the first point 1 and 2).
Why would I want such an app? To add a GPS connection manager to my today screen HS++ skin (also maybe make a script that will only launch my device navigation software when it has a position fix).
PS:
Other stuff I'd like to see are either other small cmd apps or small updates/fixes of some OSS apps like GSFinder+ or even emulators (small stuff like adding onscreen controls using existing sources, emulate mutli touch or improving controls by mixing the use of oncreen keys with hw ones or minor GUI standardization and fixes related with new devices screen resolution).

Slide2Action
Hi cris, How about a simple slide to do anything? Just a scrollable list of blank sliders that you can assign a function too, eg launch an app, blank screen, reset, close all, new message, WiFi, bluetooth etc. the list could be endless. Just a scrollable action screen with sliders instead of buttons. Transparency would be a bonus for a nice visual.
well folks, youve given me plenty of ideas.
A few of them ill try to work on, sadly many of your ideas are a little beyond me
Anyway, Ive got some stuff to be doing so I wont be checking out this thread anymore.
If any developers feel they want to take up any of these, please feel free ^_^

Hi Cris,
if you can consider my suggestion to develop a "shopping List" + "Inventory" apps I think is not that difficult to develop. It almost similar to like any shopping list app & you be able to keep track of the inventory list maybe with photo or pic is good enough.
pls do consider this apps, as both iPhone & WinMo still do not have such app yet. If you do build up, you will be the 1st to come out with.

yes let's steal some more apple patents!!! The idea is great! Few months ago I already asked this topic in the S2U thread but no response, probably my request got overseen or the guy is just too busy with other stuff.

App/Game Ideas please :)

Hello All
I am plannng on making my own set if apps and games for windows mobile. Problem is, I dont know what to make! I own a HTC Touch HD, which is why I'm psotin this here - sorry if its posted in the wrong place!
I really want windows mobile to catch up with iPhone so we have all the mint gadgets and apps too. If anyone has any ideas then please reply to this thread and I will try my best to make the app for you.
I don't ask for any money, but I will be setting up a donation account sometime soon - probaly when the first app goes live.
Thanks

i personally would like a decent smooth (few windows mobile games have what i call a playable framerate) doodle jump like game. theres one going around recently called boing (i think) but its largely unfinished.
How about a speed camera application.
One similar to "CAMERAWARE" would be good, search google for CAMARAWARE.
Please i would like to see Vexed game remake on ppc with beter animation and so on...
How about a car valuation app, that be cool for the right ppl
You could make me a World of Minecraft Client for WinMo
AFAIK there isnt one and I'm hopelessly addicted to that game
edit: its java based so I could quite likely be wrong about there not already being one for winmo
How about making an application to test the polarity of a speaker. I have the on phase off phase test tone but need a software to tell it apart.
Thank you all for your ideas - much appreciated.
I'm not too sure yet which one I will be working on first - I will look through them this evening and make my mind up
Keep them coming!
Dude, I will drink a beer in your name if you make me a probably simple app./fix. I would love if you could somehow get the Audio Booster to work without putting a 3,5 jack in the phone. I use a bluetooth headset and i would love to run the Audio Booster over bluetooth.. music would sound so much better!! can you make this happen
t-pain/autotune app would be funny like iphone has
please make a last.fm client/programme.... I really miss this and it's not quite as good streaming it through skyfire
game wise - i'd love to see a bombjack game made with proper controls for WVGA - have a look at bombjack on MAME
iphone type app.... how about the magnifer glass app using the phones camera? (always did like that one)
Tower defense games are a lot of fun.
I'd also love to see an app that would allow me to easily create and manage playlists for music player apps like Slide2Play or Windows Media. Although if this already exists someone please let me know!
Once again thank you everyone, I will try my absoulute best to complete all these apps/games for you at sometime.
It won't be long now before I pick a app and build it - PROMISE!

Eye catch apps
Hello Dude so i have alot of Ideas but i can`t do them so here is what APPS/GAMES we need for FUN and etc.​
1st. I already saw APP called BigBrother so what doing this application is to track your friends by the GSM Number and for that reason use the GPS google Maps for example BUT here is the funny thing that of course the program can`t track your friends by the number but can track you.. so when you are in a coffe with friends you can say hey i always know where are you, because i can track you by your number.. then they of course will say its not posible.. OK show them.. Just open the APP and simple write the Number of your friend that don`t believe you after few seconds the Exact Location will be displayed WOW.. the APP show the location of your device, but your friends don`t have from where to know this.. and for example when they are close to you i mean you are with the in the same place ... its looking like you really can track them anytime anywhere..
If app like this is made will be awesome, just to have a Nice finger friendly Interface and to look Serious like a Serious TRacking SPY Application.
2nd We need program who work with Fake Finger Prints... so i will give you example of one app you can create whatever you want.. using the methoud of visual apperiance..
Let we have something like Lock Screen with Finger Print Scaner.. of course this is not posible for real but who know this So for example your screen is locked.. when you wake up the device in the Center of your Screen will appear a square or some kind of button in that place you need to put your finger so this will have a delay of few seconds for example 3 seconds delay, because need to look like your finger get scaned ..
After you put your finger in this place the app will react on touch and will be writen SCANING PLEASE WAIT... after 3 seconds will appear a on the same place where was writen this SCANIN Stuff will apear APROVED or something like this and will appear a real Finger Print so nobody will know that this is not your real finger print..
With FInger Print Scaners can be done alot of super good visual apps to catch eyes and your friends or some iPhone fans to be really crazy with that.. this was just example of course.
3rd the Last but maybe the Best is Morphing the Voice in call, there already have app that can Morph your voice but you just can record a Morphed Voice and is very buggy for what im talking is a Morphing Your voice in real Time during Phone CALL, this will be extremaly good Software and thousend of peoples will NEED IT.
Imagine if you can call someone and to Morph your voice like you are Older, younger or Even Women LOL... this is really a Serious Software i know that can be made with sure just nobody take it serious to do something like this. Like i say now already have Soft Like this for WindowsMobile but its a BAD and its not integrated with the Phone Calls so you just can Morph your Voice for FUN not in a CALL and also there are just few samples to choice like Robot voice etc witch are bad so.. the Morphing voice is all from the Dicibels and etc if we have Soft like this intergrated to work in CALL and you can add into the Menu option like Equalizer with this methood everyone can do whatever settings he like and to make unique Morphed Voice from a Yuonger Girl/Guy to a Older almost everything.
The APP must to beLight not so visual good aperience need to work Faster and Smooth this is something that we really NEED and totaly will break all Other Devices and Apps.
4. Here already have similar apps like this but none of them is finger friendly and with good quality Sound so im talking about a Brain Wave Machine the app must to be with Some good interface finger friendly like a Music Player and to contain only the Brain wave Tones im speaking about ISOTRONIC tones because they are much better and they are the best from all Brain tones so in the Market already have with Binaural Beats but the Isochronic Tones are the best of the best, i can help you by provide you over 50 Diferent and Hight Quality Isotronic Sounds for diferent kind of MODS like from Euphoria, deep meditaion sleep, Chakra Balancing, and alot alot alot more just to integrate in that Player so just simple you need to start the APP and choice what kind of SOUND YOU want.
If you don`t know for what im talking about and the peoples wonder what this sound are here is some review for all of you.
Binaural Beats :
Sine wave generators are used to create two separate frequency waves which are introduced to each ear independently.
The brain reacts by creating a third tone which is the difference between the two. This allows the brain to directly tune into a frequency
that the ear cannot hear! The entire range of Alpha and Theta frequencies (between 5-12 Hz) have been tested extensively in several studies.
It was concluded that a specific combination of frequencies consistently caused a Shift In Consciousness!
Monaural Beats:
This technology uses two tones of equal intensity which result in a crisp and clean sound. Unlike Binaural Beats, Monaural beats are easier
on your brain because there is no need to balance the tones and your mind does not need adjusting time. Monaural Beats use a single tone that
pulses on and off in specific patterns, which is tuned specifically for the frequencies that produce the desired effect.
Isochronic Tones:
If you are looking for the most effective type of brainwave entrainment, Isochronic Tones are the way to go. Isochronic Tones also use equal intensity
tones, but the pulse speed is greater, causing the brain to synchronize with the rhythm. In 1999, Thomas Budzynski Ph.D. published a case in the
Journal of Neurotherapy which showed that a group of 8 college students increased their GPA with the use of audio brainwave stimulation,
and their GPA continued to increase even after the experiment was finished!
P.S i can play the sounds now without a problem with any Player on my Blackstone but will be even easy and beter they to be integrated in one single APP and you don`t need to search them everytime you wana listen. If you like the idea let me know i can provide all the tones for free. Till now NO SOFT like this is avalible, i mean with the best ISOTRONIC SOUNDS
I have alot more ideas so if you ask for more will write​
Performance Computer Using G-Sensor
I believe it would be very fine if you could develop an application for calculating Distance/Travel, Speed and acceleration by using G-sensor. all the similar available application do this job via GPS, not G-sensor.
The hypothesis is easy. Acceleration data are available through G-sensor, then by integrating these data, velocity can be found, and by once more integration from velocity values, distance can be calculated.
Such application is very useful for engineers, and I'm sure soon after developing, it could be commercialized.
Minilyrics-like app
hello!
There is none lyrics app like Minilyrics for WM. The font is customizable, and easy for the eyes to read, the skin is great...but...but the Minilyrics buttons are super small! And the playlist is almost imposible to read and click unless u're using stylus! They seem doesnt want to upgrade the app since last year for WVGA resolution. I have to assign qwerty button to replace the play, stop etc buttons which are so small.
I love to sing along with the song, who doesnt? kareoke in the car, anyone?

[Q] adding alarm and alert tones

Hi everyone
i've had nothing but good things happen so far with the threads on doing custom ringtones, but on the same token, i was wondering if it was possible to do the same thing to the alarms and alerts,
say what you will about the factory alarm tones, nothing is more effective in the morning than Time by Pink Floyd

Items required:
Unlocked (with ChevronWP7 or Developer unlocked) WP7 device
ChevronWP7 Ringtone Installer
MS Expression Encoder or other audio conversion software
XAP Installer (Tom XAP or WP7 SDK Application Deployment)
TouchXplorer: http://forum.touchxperience.com/download/file.php?id=44&sid=5129675be033d863b931bdc3bee51b36
1. Choose files to use as alert/alarm sounds. If in WMA format already skip to step 3.
2. Using MS Expression or equivalent, convert files to WMA.
3. Rename desired alert tones to Alert-01.WMA (you can subsitute the number based on what sound you'd like to replace, because we will be overwriting the corresponding sound) or for alarms it'd be Alarm-01.WMA (or corresponding). NOTE: You will be overwriting the sounds so make sure you review all sounds and make sure you don't mind not having them anymore if you're overwriting them.
4. Using ChevronWP7 Ringtone Installer deploy these files to your device through an XAP Installer.
5. Install TouchXplorer by deploying XAP to device.
6. Using TouchXplorer navigate to My Documents>My Ringtones and highlight desired alert/alarm sound. Bring up the menu and copy it. Navigate back to root menu and go into Windows. Paste alert/alarm sound; it will ask if you wish to overwrite, click yes. Done. Repeat for all other alert or alarm sounds.
NOTE : I believe this will only work on HTC phones ATM, since TouchXplorer only works on HTC devices for now.
Why cant I just use the windows deployment tool (on focus) , renaming the files , I tried installing an alert using the chevron and it sent it to the ringtone folder , I made the alert, Alert-11 since they were all in sequence, but I'll try just renaming the files , if I have to use Toms Ill try that, but I cant use the touchexpress (and theres no equivelent that i know of for samsung,yet)
It does allow me to install touchexpress , but all I is the "My Device" search , not sure if it works or needs certain parameters to use to find anything, also I dont know the file structure in this phone anyway, it does have all menu items but grayed out, so it might get an update later on and work
I guess Microsoft doesnt want this on the device !
" TouchXplorer has been Revoked by Microsoft , you'll have to re-install it, but it just stays on for a minute before getting revoked again!
Download the alarm clock w/ weather app...lets you assign any song you have in Zune as an alarm tone (touchxplorer only works with htc devices)...plus it acts as a nice bedside clock with weather information
it might be worth getting the app just to see how they import the songs!

Anyone figure out how to do it without an HTC Device. I have the DVP and the alarms that come with the device are no way near loud enough to wake me up. My old alarm was set to Chop Suey by System of a Down! WAKE UP!!!! I have a developer account as well if that will help.

Unlike for ringtones, there's no function for adding them in the OS (ringtones use Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended I think) other than using file manipulation, or registry tweaks, both of which can only be done on HTC devices at the moment.
This is great!!! Worked a treat for the alerts. Just need to do the alarms now.
Just one question..... There seems to be a limit on the number of alerts. Has anyone else come across this? Originally there are 10 alerts so I created an 11th but this doesn't seem to get picked up at all.

Just one question..... There seems to be a limit on the number of alerts. Has anyone else come across this? Originally there are 10 alerts so I created an 11th but this doesn't seem to get picked up at all.

The alerts are listed in the registry by name, you're replacing one of the built in ones, so no changes are needed there, adding an extra alert will only work if you can edit the registry.

Silence ring tone while busy

Hey guys,
Just got the galaxy s2 today after switching from windows mobile. So far, best phone ever. enough said.
Anyway one thing I really like with windows mobile is I could mute the ringtone when I was in a meeting. Is there an app that will let me do that in android?
Thanks in advance
Tasker (paid app) allows this. It works very well for me. You can create your own profiles for almost anything you can imagine. Here is a short list of example profiles you can download and use straight away... to get you started. The 'silent in meetings' profile is included in the list.
I'm using a few different profiles at the moment:
- Silent in meetings (useful)
- Talking clock on the hour (useless but fun)
- When I plug in headphones, a pop up window appears with shortcuts to all my music/podcast/FMradio apps etc (useful)
- Turn on Wifi in specific locations (useful, battery saving and less hassle doing it manually)
Place the phone face down? It mute's all sounds, unless you're looking for an option to silence it while its in your pocket..then look above.
Hey there, all you need is this app called, Shush! Ringer Restorer -- it's just incredible, and Free too. And it does only what you've asked, no more no less.

Thanks everyone, Im glad there are many options. Ill give them all a try.
Thanks again
all you need to do is press volume up or down when your phone is ringing, and then it will go silent.
no need for any third party programs.
