Task App with Sliding Panel Support

Cool idea for Sliding Panel
Hello group, I was loking the panel today, getting to know it better and I realized that the Tasks are not in there; it would be great to have a Sliding Panel to view your Tasks by Categories or at least by Due Date with a similar interface like the Calendar where you can create a task but with the option to select a category eg. Inbox, that would be awesome option; since you all helped me with the Vanilla OS which I plan to use Rickys v14, I would give the contribution to this project.
So to recap here is what I would want from this panel option or addon:
1. Have a panel for the Tasks that shows you which task s are due
a. Today
b. Past Due
c. to create a Task into a category called Inbox
or if all those options are too tedious to code just option C would be good.
So there you have it, anybody interested please let me know.
Thanks in advance
ps. is there a way to backup your current ROM just in case you want to put it back

Dude, You JUST TOOK THE WORDS OUTTA MY MOUTH!!!
I don't know how I forgot to post this but I've always wanted tasks in my sliding panel, infact, more than appointments, I would use tasks anyday.
I'll see what can be done about this. Thanks for reminding me.
P.S: I have use for this, big time as I really need it for school and for personal productivity.
EDIT: Yes, there is a way to backup everything. Google Sprite Backup or SPB Backup (Either are good, I think SPB would be more stable, haven't tried it yet but sometimes, Sprite doesn't copy over everything properly)

Awesome
That's funny, telepathic minds, but yeah this option would be super useful for anybody, after all the native Task app is so old school this would spice things up a lot, for productivity this would be superb, I'm envisioning a nice Vista like icon to match the cool Calendar icon wow I can almost taste it, lol, well hopefully somebody can help with this cause.

Why not work that idea plus calendar functions into the CAppointments panel somehow? There are only two pages there, and they're all about the same general theme... Task, To Do, Calendars, Appointments, etc.

Can you explain further

If you mean me, then not really... I've only been playing with WM and my phone for two days. Really new to this stuff... but I was just throwing what I thought might be good ideas out there.

Well, hopefully somebody with programming experience can chime in

Showaco, Outerdepth or Organic - These are your guys.
I'm in need for this app. Who can help us out?
I think it'd make a good app since most of us need some task management.

Another idea how about making a panel to launch either google maps or the actual live search app, not the crappy Live search on IE and as a bonus a panel for Jivetalk, wow the possibilities are endless, if only I knew how to program

What rom are you running? Ricky's V24 has a "My Programs" panel that you can customize to add various apps using CHome Configurator. I added Live Search to it in about two minutes, with the majority of the time spent trying to find the Live Search icon in the file system.

Or just use your favourite .png

Great idea
Somehow I got used to the fact of not using Tasks because they weren't on Home Screen, but I'd really use it. So I'm willing to help in anyway I can to make this possible.

Oh really, the actual Live Search application with all the modules, eg. weather, maps, movies etc. Sweet, I have to update my OS to that one, question for you, how fast is it and memory efficient, I tried to upload it but I got an Error 260 hopefully I'll have a little more time and upload this OS, I'm dying to try it.

Cmon, Guys. Someone look into this. I'd love me a Tasks App on the sliding panel. I actually would love to work on this but too bad, I don't know what to do and don't have the time right now. If anything, I'll look into it this weekend and see if I can come up with something.

yes, please someone rescue this idea, imagine being able to input task right the panel, that would be great, then as icing on the cake - create that task to a specific category, OMG, that would be golden better than the Dark Knight lol

this would hands down be the most used app for me everyday.

Good morning, does anybody know of a task app that has support for the Sliding panel to at least view your task, I know it can't be done with the native task app but perhaps a 3rd party app, if anybody knows please let me know. thanks

I would love to see Task sliding panel, so
*Bump

This would be the one of the most used things on my phone if it could be done.

The Coolest Video Software for Trinity...

Hey guys,
I just had to mention this software that I just ran into yesterday. If you've already seen it, I apologize for bringing it up agian...
I installed it yesterday, and it does the coolest thing. I can broadcast LIVE video from my phone that can be seen from a web browser. Not only that, but it also brings up a google map tracking my position in real time.
Set the phone on your vehicle dash, start broadcasting, Drive around, and people can watch your trip in real time with a map showing your location...
I hope I have not double posted about this, but I really wanted to share.
Ok, I just found it was posted in the Development and Hacking forum, but I still think I'll bring it to the Trinity Forum since I've verified it works on the Trinity.
Website
http://www.ix-m.com/gps
Latest CAB is always available here
www.ix-m.com/downloads/livecam.cab
Install the 'Live Media GPS' software on your phone, and the 'Live Media for Windows' on your computer.
Be sure you have the GPS linked up, or it will not broadcast.
You also have the option of viewing your Desktop Computer Video from your Trinity.
I hope somebody enjoys this as much as I am!

Nice to see you here. Great software.
I'm just watching Live Stream - Motorbike - diterex. Fantastic.
Best regards !

Good to see you too.... We miss you over here in WWE Trinity World.
Another cool feature is that you can send instant Audio Clips to the person viewing the video, or Vice Versa. It only takes seconds to send and receive them.

This sounds awesome. I agree that it's always worth reposting in Trinity to show it works. I'll test it soon.
Best to install it on a lite ROM I imagine (not Manila based)?

Actually, I'm currently running the g77 Manilla rom, and it installed and works fine. So Far.

Getting Started Tips
If you are interested in trying this, here are a few tips:
1. You need to create two seperate accounts for the Mobile version and the Desktop Version. Then you can link the two accounts as Buddies and view the video back and forth. Using the Buddy option keeps others from seeing your video unless you want them to, in which case you can broadcast to the Public pages.
2. After installing to your Mobile, be sure to go into the 'Settings' and then 'Video Recorder' and turn off 'Direct screen mode' to show your video on the Trinity.
3. I've tried leaving the option 'Video with Audio' on and off. It works both ways, but is better video if audio is off.
4. If you'd like to start Broadcasting on your Wife's/Husbands/Kids Trinity, you can enable the 'SMS Activation' option. By sending a text to the phone with the security code, it will start transmitting automatically.
5. As mentioned in an earlier post, the GPS MUST be synced before the Broadcasting will work. It may take a few minutes in clear skies for it to link up, so be patient. (As with any GPS enabled program on the Trinity)
6. Keep in mind that this is probably a HUGE battery drainer. I have not tested how bad, but it IS using the GPS, Camera, Audio, Network, all at the same time. But, if plugged into a charger while driving, it's not a big deal.
7. If you are not connected using WI-FI, BE AWARE that this will connect your Data Connection and might be charging you $$$. I'm on an unlimited Data Plan, so it's not a problem here.
8. Don't Broadcast any "Adult" content to the Public site, or you will be banned. Whatever you do with your Wife/Girlfriend/Dog/Goat/Etc using the Direct Buddy option is up to you...
8. Don't forget to try the 'Send Voice Message' or on the Mobile "Live Talk" feature. It's pretty quick, and AWESOME audio quality.
9. Have Fun!
For now, that's all I can think of. As I use it more, I'll add things if needed. Feel free to do the same.

great!
it seems gpsgate can do these too, exclude video audio sharing
thx

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:

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

do you have a screenshot?

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.

mobilePVD - PocketPC client for movie managment PVD

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!

[APP] Mp3 Tag Editor

Hello!
As the name pretty much says it, this is an tag editor for mp3 files so they can be nicely displayed in the media player.
The use of the application is very simple:
- use the menu to open a mp3 file
- choose the category you want to modify (ID3v1, ID3v2, Front Cover or Back Cover)
- modify the fields according to your wishes
- use the menu to save the modifications
Remarks
- The application requires .NET Framework 3.5
- The application has been tested on HTC Touch HD with Windows Mobile 6.5 (VGA & WVGA resolutions) but it should work on Windows Mobile 5+ at all resolutions
- Please back-up your mp3 files before using this application. I've never had any problems but it's better to be safe than sorry
Release History
20.06.2010 - v2.0
* added support for ID3v2 tag
* added support for Album Art (Front Cover & Back Cover)
* added the ability to copy information between ID3v1 and ID3v2 (using the button at the end of each tag's page)
* updated Sense Interface SDK version to v1.39
24.05.2010 - v1.0 - Initial release
* support only for ID3v1 tag
Let me know what you think so we can make it better
The application uses the nice Sense Interface SDK created by eboelzner. Thank you!
IMPORTANT!!! Question regarding the next version
In order to easily add support for folder tagging and other media types, it would be best for the usability and for the performance of the application to remove the support for ID3v1 tag and Back Cover.
ID3v1 tag limits the length of the fields (e.g. Artist and Tile are limited to 30 characters) and it is used by media players only if the ID3v2 tag is not present, so I see no problem in using just the ID3v2 tag.
Regarding the Back Cover, I didn't find a media player that displays more than one picture from the mp3 file. That's why I think it's OK to keep only the Front Cover.
Because I value the opinion of the users of my application, I added a poll to this thread for you to decide. The poll will be open till 4 July so please state your opinion regarding the support for ID3v1 and Back Cover in the next version. Thank you!
If you find it useful... not required.

Awesome work!! I've been looking for an MP3 tag editor for a while. Keep up the good work!

very usefull..thanx u so much

HOORAY
god bless you

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
I've been looking for this for a long time.
Sugestion for improvement:
capability for asking when it's about to erase all the ID3v2 tag info if we want to erase the album art as well.
Keep up the awesome work!

Hi,
this is a "must have" app.
with friendly greet
starbase64

ya, this is wonderful.
As I want to develop this kind apps for my next proj.
I use sense SDK 1.6 to develop an app , the main feature would be search lego brickset from local mobi by set code currently.
I mark this post for testing it tomorrow. Thanks.

Muchos Gracias mi amigo!!! I've been waiting on one of these for a wHile..

working well on HD2, thank you

You sir are a gem. Like others, I have been looking for this for a while. And with a Manila interface, it just puts the cherry on the cake.
Well done and a big thank you.

I haven't tried it yet, but I KNOW this is gonna be big.
Thanks in advance...

Can't wait to try it. I've wanted one of these for ages!

I hope next version will include
1. Album cover
2. Genre Input*
*write our own genre-no dropdown choice

I'll be giving this a try. Thanks!

Thanks, it's a must have.

Thanks a lot what a great Tool, easy, simple to use and effective ...THANK YOU

Nice!
Works Fine on QVGA Device (Xda Terra)

Very good utilities, thank you!

Ima give it a go

This is what I always wanted!
I tried to programm this myself since 2007 but never found a mp3Tag library and had not the knowledge to create one on my one.
Very nice!!
I am realy thankfull and donated you directly a small number. (70W62315XY4288720)
I hope you will continue your work (add full folder and V2 support as well as work on performance). I will continue supporting you.
Thx man!
