Here I am going to reposit the multiple dev topics i am working on and a dev blog and where we r pushing.
Some of these topics will have been discussed before and apps released.
I am going to take 'em and tie em together for bigger goal.
Some of these Mortscript apps were written a long time ago and can benefit from a more robust version of Mortscript.
Also I will post as many script tools here as I can. Some tools are scripts I have written but don't deem their own thread. Other things are the real applications I find indispensable.
Links to real apps...

Links of Mort utils.
Wav player - Mort seems not to want to play different types of wav files. This app will let u test them through mort. I will list the types that Mort doesnt play and the types of wav it does play.
bluetooth functionality.
Currently there is no working Bluetooth toggler for phones with the Widcomm bluetooth stack. I made a working toggler with the help of Pocketmax PhoneAlarm. I am pretty sure i can make a stand alone bluetooth toggler now.
With Phone alarm i can have the bluetooth go on and off when I plug my phone in. As long as I can use Phone alarm I have that issue licked. I could Mort that, but Phone alarm is so great that if I can use it, i do. All these apps I work with I am stuck with the trial versions, but since I end up resetting my phone every other week that never is too much of a problem.
The remaining issue is with turning on Microsoft Voice command with my car settings. We're going to take a look at that here. For auto profile switching i can detect if the car is connected AND my computers bt dongle is connected, i am at home: (disable the car bt so i dont miss calls) Also if first connect of computer after being connected to car, auto run ActiveSync and sync up.
Also I can have Voice command msg me with spoken msgs using the SMS sender I wrote. What could work better is to make appts and have voice command read those. I expect to bump into some walls.
After a number that is unknown but the number is available can popup a while pages with the number.
sill want a whois posted to the dialer screen status. will the internet kill the call? no, right?
So my phone cant run http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298279&page=6 but i can make it work with mortscript. also phonelog should do this on my phone can do this, but it is always 5 hours off when it stores it. i have complained about this bug for the last 2 years or so, but since i am the only one with this problem, updates have never fixed this for me. obviously i should just write my own.

internot
A good hard look at the connected to internet detector. Why does iexplore connect to the internet and morts sometimes don't?
One more for the pie.
Issues and walls that are suck.
I dont have GPS, or even rkLocation. WTH. But I do have internet. Which means maybe I could use a web page What;s my ip to get a location. I couldnt use that to drive a map program of course but just maybe I could tell that I was not at home and set my bluetooth and stuff to on.
Some apps use a static location. If i can get a zip it might be possible to inject it for the app to use.
Also, we can't detect how much memory a program takes up, for example in a task manager. but we do know how much memory was available before we opened the app and then how much free after.
phone creeping.
Just between u n me.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502214
A number of lost phone apps can do certain remote tricks. I don't want to reinvent any wheels, but none of these apps work on my Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone. To tell the truth I already have gotten most of the lost phone functionalities working with StatusTicker. But we can go a bit further than just send back SMS with GPS or even rkLocation (I can do that, sure). Here are some additions I will be workin on shortly:
Remote activation of cameras to take some pictures and remote live video.
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/pocket-pc/download-mobiscope-video-from-webcams-2-6-15.html
Remote trigger an online backup.
File Forte (Auto FTP backup)
Shozu
Apps that capture documents and upload em to online could also capture the call logs and sms logs.
Evernote
Dashwire (I better hurry while it's free)
Qiik? sends video
Send Back data:
Send me all my SMS Received/Sent
Send me my call history
What's my phone's Ip?
Remote purge
Remote lock
Turn on the bluetooth and annoy the neighbors. It could be possible to turn on the bt and then use it like a range finder with a different phone. Of course we can just unmute it remotely if its muted and trigger an alarm sound.
Downloading on a smartphone
I'm Batman
Here we will look at keycap ing and how close we can approximate it.
Using Iexplore as a config editor.
I am pretty sure I can use html pages to modify config ini's.
By having the page pass itself the arguments on the url, they show up in the page title and thereby can be reintegrated with Mort.
I already set up the html a few years ago on a e-commerce site I worked on. I found my old javascript codes which pass and interpret the ? and & variables you see in the url address bar. This means I can can use check boxes, input boxes, etc...
I am thinking this is going to be very cool.
Poor mans motion detector
So can we make a motion detector?
take picture
take another
compare size.
if size <> image has changed.
What about taking a picture/screenshot and if its black then we can check its size and see that it is dark?
If there is no native camera click option, and we can't access the camera sometimes, we may be able to leave the camera view open and then take screenshots with a screenshot app and then use those picks...
***
Mort doesnt give size of an app in memory.
so we would have to subtract the new free space from the old memory. yikes?
AppToDate - Mortscript support and integration
integrate Apptodate version checking and updating without using apptodate:
AppToDate Subroutine for Mortscript
Hi,
So I have AppToDate support in my Voice command app. So if you have AppToDate it will report whether you need an update and can download and install from there.
I have made a subroutine for your AppToDate supported mortscript app so it can check for an update.
We could have it download the updated cab. I can't use the download command since I have a smartphone. I guess I could make the PPC version and then have my app run AppToDate on my Smartphone.
And to think I hesitated.
Attached Files
File Type: zip AppToDateSub.zip (1.9 KB, 0 views)
Infra red receiver/transmitter
i wonder if i can make a Infra red receiver/transmitter with mortscript?
Well we cant do infra red output. but we could activate the infra red receiver and then use a remote control on it?
Phone Utils
Can we identify the caller and if known, open the contact with that callers name. Yes, I think we can.
Bluetooth
Solution : all system sound in headset
I found a solution for route all system sounds in a non-stereo Bluetooth headset, the microphone still works for calls but at the end of a call the sound is back in the speaker and must restart to make it work again.
Does anyone know what is the problem?
To do this we must change a registry value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\Connections
Choose your device hands free in the right folder 0001 0002 0003 ....
And change the value of BDDevClass 24 04 04 to 12 01 04

Send Twitter updates by text message
If you add your phone to Twitter, you can update anywhere, anytime by simply sending us a text message! Once your phone is verified, you can start sending (and receiving!) updates instantly. Depending on where you are, you may have a local number. You can send a text message to any of these numbers and it will post directly to your Twitter profile, and be sent to all of your followers:
We currently support 2-way (sending and receiving) Twitter SMS via short codes and 1-way (sending only) via long codes.
Short codes for 2-way Twitter SMS:
US: 40404
Australia: 0198089488 (Telstra customers)
Canada: 21212
UK: 86444 (Vodafone, Orange, 3 and O2 customers)
India: 53000 (Bharti Airtel customers)
Indonesia: 89887 (AXIS and 3 customers)
Ireland: 51210 (O2 customers)
New Zealand: 8987 (Vodafone and Telecom NZ customers)
1-way long codes:
Germany: +49 17 6888 50505
Sweden: +46 737 494222
All other countries: +44 762 4801423
We're working on getting more local short codes for other places, and we'll update this list as they become available. If you travel out of the country, check with your mobile provider to see if they route text messages to local short codes, of if you'll need to use the international number instead.
If you use 40404, you can send and receive unlimited messages from Twitter, but we do advise you to check with your provider to make sure your text plan covers text messaging. If you use one of our other numbers, you're limited to 250 messages per week, refreshing every Sunday at 12:00am GMT.
For people using any number other than 40404: once your phone is verified, you'll be able to send your updates to +44 7624 801423 , but you will not be able to receive text updates from Twitter. Find out more on the Twitter Blog.
A word of caution for UK residents using the international number: some carriers don't charge an international fee to use the Twitter international number within the UK, but others do. Some carriers consider it an international number and charge from .15 to .25 per message. Remember to check your phone plan for international rates; be aware that even in the UK, standard messaging rates vary by carrier, and do apply.

i use my TP2 for both personal and work, and its on 24/7, but i would like to automatically divert business calls(as defind in the caterogy section in outlook, when you hit edit contact - more)
ideally iwould like to be able to select a category and choose if i want ot divert that to voicemail
if it could also define it to auto divert the category based on day and time and if possible based on calender entry or defineable.
also if it could change my profile as well that would be amazing.
so does anyone know how i could go about doing this

I'd strongly recommend "Magicall" by Mobiion ( http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html )
It can definitely divert via Category; not sure if it can do it by the type of number (business; home) as I've not tried that yet

that is perfect (on the face of it, havnt tested it in the field as yet) i just want to block certain people during certian times, and they are stored ascertain categories.
i hope that the "hang up" option diverts to my voice mail,
and to be able to SMS them as "sorry im on holiday" text is just the iceing on the cake
thanks

Yes - that's exactly what 'hangup' does (same as pressing the red button on any other mobile.
I do think it's a little confusing as to what magicall has named the following operations:
Magicall 'Ignore' = Do nothing, other than mute the ringer
Magicall 'Hangup' = Divert Immediately to voicemail (i.e. 'do not disturb')
I use Magicall primarily for handling outgoing International and/or calls to mobiles. I have different international calling cards set up, and whenever I dial anything other than a US domestic number I get Magicall to change the outgoing number and use a calling card. Saves me $$$, and allows me to use different calling cards for different countries/types of call automatically.
I'm considering writing a small app that will allow me to set and/or toggle individual rules within Magicall for a period of time (I often want to just hit a 'do not disturb' button as I get called into an unscheduled meeting, diverting most calls to VM without actually turning off the phone or manually creating a meeting to say I'm busy)
As you hit the button it would allow you to specify a time period; if that was about to expire the phone would vibrate to alert you, if you did nothing the rule would be re-enabled). I've only been using Magicall for a couple of weeks, but I think this would be a very useful addon (and would work well - there's already a command line interface for external apps to control rules)
If anyone thinks that would be useful, let me know - not sure how many Magicall users there are around here! (I'm not associated with them - just a happy customer!)

Was reading about this service and it looks pretty cool: https://www.trapcall.com/signup
The best features are:
- Someone calls you from a blocked number, instead of showing "Blocked" it shows your their number as well as their name.
- Option to have any caller's name and billing address sent to you via SMS.
- Ability to record calls (both sides).
Is there any Windows Mobile app that can do anything like this?
Yes you can try http://www.truecaller.com/?p=download&os=winmo_pro_6_1&mid=70
Do the same if your country is on the list when you recive a call a Pop Up window will apear and tell you who is calling you even if you don`t have that number added in the contact list.
This is posible because the program use gprs and search info about the number like names adress and etc.. and i read in the site that the traffic is very small for 1 call is around 1kb so its nothing and if you can use it in your country is usefull app!!!
The program is still new so i belive in the future will become better and better.
for the Ability to record calls both ways use ACR you can find it here in the forum..
Im using it and its good for me and run in backround very fast and didn`t dry my battery and just do perfect job to recording all the calls i want!!!
SMS Scriptor
Ok this is just a basic app and the point of it is for you to be able to script to your phone and send it cooler messages. The point of it is that more people will use it and soon, you can send out 'friend' invitations for which you can send out an invitation for you friend to not use passwords in their scripts (and that way, they can communicate to you by other means than just through boring sms). So...there are a variety of things which I have an idea in this app for:
-Automatically decode "sms-like" messages
ex: "LOL" will automatically convert into Laugh out Loud
-Send out cool birthday wishes through sms-script
ex: HS:Message.birthday.send = "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
would automatically send out a premade birthday message with your text in it to their phone...other templates will also be embedded in their phone so it will be ready when someone sends them messages
-Start programs automatically so if they are confused on how to use their phone or if they don't know where a file is but you do, just script it
ex: HSrogram.execute = "\Windows\myprogram.exe"
-Can send out "audible" sms's so if they are driving, they can listen to a message from in the car without picking up their phone. The program will automatically announce it or it can let the friend send out an mms.
-Can send out an active link to a phone number so the phone will automatically call the other person when the message arrives
ex: HShone.Call = "13396547893"
and that will automatically dial that number in the recipient's phone.
-Can send out destructable sms's which kill themselves after a specified time
ex: HS:SMS.timed.send(120) = "Hey dude this will remove itself in 2 mins"
-One must have a password in their sms script and unless they are a friend, the other party needs to confirm an acceptance from a person or they can deny it if it is some random dude.
-Will soon work on Blackberry, Iphone, And Android
The next generation of sms talk will be soming soon
Im gonna need a few comments on these existing features or at least tell me i should add something to it and then I will post up a first release.
List of features/ function Windows Phone 7 is missing on release:
Call Log to show call duration
Independent media/ keypad/ ringtone/ notifcation volume controls
Haptic Feedback
Ability to set Silent from volume buttons (Only Vibrate/ Ring at present)
Preview pictures to attach to text message (Have to add first then view currently)
Option to delete all conversations from text messages
Text message delivery reports received as seperate message (should just show tick or cross next to message)
Option to repeat notifications (for example alert text every 5 minutes)
Forward on busy, forward on no answer, forward on unavailable in phone settings (Currently have to be set using network codes)
Confirmation to switch off (Quite easy to switch phone off by holding lock button)
Combined inbox for all emails
Notification LED options to flash for text/ email/ reminder (currently just missed calls
Advanced WiFi Options (Hidden Networks, static IPs)
Customise Start Screen background
Custom ring tones/ notification sounds
Filter in People Hub

Option to keep screen on during charge
Option to hide contents of SMS in toast popup
Please comment
Regarding call forwarding, I believe you can achieve this by using codes in the phone dialer. I saw it in one of the tip documents (but I agree would be good to have in settings).

I can confirm that the call forwarding options have to be set using the Network codes. Don't understand why you are not able to do this in the settings. Hopefully this will come with an update in the near future.
- ringtones volume, media volume and games sound/music volume are the same, caused me missed the calls last night.
- no official WLM from microsoft
No communicator/wlm is disappointing.

Word is the WP7 does not yet support rSAP. This is very much needed for Bluetooth handsfree car usage. Especially important in Europe where you must BY LAW use handsfree phone.
Re delivery notifications; the problem is network dependent isn't it? I don't think each SMS is individually identifiable on the network. So if I send two text messages to one number and only one is delivered, which one would be marked delivered?
I don't think this feature is supported on any device?

Not sure on whether you can't identify which SMS gets through or not but I would have thought that each SMS would have pretty much have it's own UID and therefore could
Re delivery notifications though, you are spot on. It's carrier/network dependant. O2 have never supported/provided SMS delivery (although you can get a report from MMS which is odd). Phones do support reporting of message delivery though.
Yeah, sorry that wasn't clear, phones do support the messages and some phones do treat them differently, eg my old Nokia 7210 flashes delivery notices on screen rather than just telling em I have a new message. But I don't think any phones can have an inbox that has a tick or a cross next to each message depending on whether it's been delivered because the messages don't have a UID. Happy to be corrected on that but with the SMS standard being as old as it is I don't think it's a given that each message has a unique ID.
- no support for hidden wireless (personal and enterprise)!
- no real outlook sync....
- missing rotation features in some hubs e.g. the cam
- filtering option in contact-news
- maybe a gallery from facebook friends in pictures
- a second page for marketplace apps/hubs ?
like my htc trophy and its great for a 1.0 but i hope microsoft will update soon... f.e. on every Patchday ???
Here's my 5p worth:
- No Static IP's possible on WiFi
- I actually hate the Metro GUI or whatever they call it. I'd love to be able to completely change my homescreen
- No Desktop Background, only for locked screen. Goes hand in hand with the above
- Did I say I hate those squares?
I generally feel that this OS is a bit like Marmite. You either love it or you hate it. Nothing in between. Which is a bit crap. If it was more adjustable and customizable I would be happier. That's why I like Android.

Both Android and my Sony phones supported delivery notifications. The sony implementation was very good with a simple tick or cross next to the message. Android is a bit messy but does work on a per message basis. SMS messages include a header (much like an email) that you don't see on the phone and this contains all the information individually identifying the message.

Other than that, I am happy, wondering where the 50-60 xbox live games a launch went though.
haven't gotten my windows phone yet so can't help you there on first point. as for the second point, supposeably ringtones can be set by apps and are meant to become available in the market place, but i agree, i would prefer to be able to set mine rather than purchase.

Anyone that claims they love this OS is either on the Microsoft payroll or they are deceiving themselves because they find it too difficult to face the realisation that they upgraded to something with fewer features than their old phone.
The most important thing this OS lacks: File management. Don't make me dig up those old threads!

first outlook syncronisation:
the only way to have all your contacts, calender from outlook in your phone is trough an exchange or copying all into windows live.. no active sync until now
second filtering:
in facebook you have so much things you "like" and games... all those messages spamming your contact news... no chance to see only your friends messages from facebook.
third gallery:
In the gallery I only have a set of my Facebook pictures, but would be nice if there where also those of my friends
fourth second page:
I find you miss the overview of microsoft apps from the phone and those you are downloading from the market. If there were two seperate pages.. one phone 7 .. second downloaded apps, would help finding apps.
I have my new HTC Trophy set up to sync with Exchange/Outlook. I'm in Norway, so my contacts phone numbers are stored in Outlook in this format: +47 12345678
Now, when in Norway and getting incoming calls from 12345678, the phone does not recognize the caller.
Is this a known issue? Any workarounds other than removing +47 from all my contacts?
I'm having the same issue!
Anyone know how to setup WP7 to recognize not only the full number?
Nothing new here?
i noticed that in the windows live contacts section you can specify which country the contact is in,..would that help?
i don't know..i'm not having these problems to be honest!
In outlook you store the phone number with +47 but when you dial the number, you want to dial it without the +47
Is that correct?
I have had similar issues with other phones with extra "0" in between region/country/city codes, for example in Germany.
I have a couple of ideas:
1. There is the International Dialing assist function. I have no idea what it does other than what's described undertneat it... Does that do anything helpful?
2. What if you create a separate Windows Live account, and add in /copy your contacts, without the +47; then link the two contacts. The contacts will appear as just 1 contact in your phone, and you'll have the option to call with or without the +47
So here is the deal:
I have set all my contacts mobile numbers using the right local area code (for example 04111-8181-8181) so when I’m traveling to other city the call is routed correctly. But when someone call me I receive the number without the area code (example 8181-8181) and the phone did not match this with the contact.
So the problem is not when I'm dialing the number but when I receive an incoming call from my contacts.
I don't know what this International Assist do too but is turned On.
And hboos, I didn't find where I do set up this Country in Live Contacts but I don't think that this is the problem since all of my most important contacts are coming from Outlook.
Thanks
I store all my contacts like this one: +49123456 without any spaces. My HD7 recognizes them all. Perhaps you have to remove the space?
Well, if removing the spaces/formatting doesn't work, you can always go with my other suggestion. Create a separate address book in a Windows Live account with the incoming CID number, and link the two contacts on WP7 (open contact 1, click the chain link at the bottom, click contact 2). WP7 is even smart enough to suggest you likely links.
Talys, this suggestion lead me to another question: Is there one button to link all my contacts or I need to go one by one (because I have 1200+ contacts).
I'll try to remove the spaces.
Just an update, didn't work removing all the spaces
I've got the same problem. Living in Norway, syncing with Exchange/Outlook and storing all my phone numbers with a +47 prefix. I'm sure creating a windows live contact for each of my Exchange/Outlook contact and link them would work. But with 800+ contacts, the thought of maintaining two lists doesn't sound like a feasible solution for me.
I've tried the following.
Using a 0047 prefix instead of the +47. Same problem.
Removing any spaces that Outlook add automatically. Same problem
Using a windows live contacts instead of Outlook/Exchange contacts. Same problem.
The best solution I've come up with so far, is to store all my Outlook/Exchange contacts with two numbers. One without the prefix and one with. This isn't really working either I like to store mobile number where they belong.
However, everything seams to work as expected with SMS/MMS messages. The +47 prefix doesn’t cause any problems what so ever.
Now with some developers already getting access to WP7 registry I think it's a matter of time to find the entry to edit

I don't think there's a button to automatically link your contacts.... that's a lot of contacts to link! But you only need to link the ones that are important for Call Display, right? So the list would be smaller?
i always have the same problem on wm6 and had was to edit the registry caller ID match the default is 8 so if you change it to 6 or 7 then it will be ok..so its just to get access to the wp7 registy to change that setting

Sorry to bring that again but that's THE POINT!! We need to hack the registry to edit this.
Anyone have done this?

no....there is no access YET to the registry or file system
try this reg key
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
Have you tried Settings -> Applications -> phone and International assist - On?

I don't think this is the problem, or if it is, the default value is higher than 8 as all phonenumbers in Norway has 8 digits. 11 if you also count the +47.
In any case, works fine for me using Telia in Sweden - I have numbers stored in a variety of ways including +46 (0123) 12345 as well as +4612312345 and they all seem to show who's calling. Could be it's operator dependant somehow?
I have the same problem, my contacts are synced from Google. Country Slovenia, format +386 31xxxxxx. Number does not link to name of the contact. Tried Caller ID fix from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971, but problem remains. Can someone try and see if it works for him?
