Does anyone know of any good Personal Information Management software for Windows Mobile? I am not asking a whole lot. Just be able to search for a key word among appointments, todos, notes shouldn't be too much to ask for, is it? The current Calendar and Task applications can't even do that.
Thanks!
there are a ton of them, google PIM, windows mobile and your search will come up with Pocket Informant, Agenda One, and a bunch of others.
thanks!

Actually, I have done a google search before. Like you said, there are a ton. Perhaps, I should change my question to which PIM is better for the WM 6.1.
thanks!
i have been using agenda one - works for everything I need and I am kinda picky. If theres something better fill me in. Download the free trial and see if you like it.
PIM
Try Papyrus or Agenda One - both are among the best
Agenda One not working very well

Thank you for the suggestions! I downloaded the trial version of Agenda One - supposed to be full featured with time limit. I tried several searches - some search all, some search only in appointment, or only todos. None of them worked. It looked like the program tried for a while, then it simply terminated (not the search, but the entire Agenda one program). It kicked me back to the today screen, and the process no longer listed in the task list
Try the recently released Papyrus 2. It's frakkin' amazing
try agendus over at www.iambic.com
Agenda One is no go

I signed up at Developer One support forum, and tried to post this question. It's been a couple of days, they don't even show my posting in the forum. I tried to ask the same question again, still blocked by the moderator. Oh well, moving on to Papyrus 2 trial now.
Thank you all for the suggestions! I thought I'd spend a few words sharing my opinions on the products I've been trying out:
Agenda One - in spite of the awards the company claims they have received, I find this product adds very little value to the existing WM 6.1 PIM functionality. Some pretty colors, that's it. When I started my quest for a better PIM, all I was looking for was a search function. Agenda One has it. I had made many variations of attempts to use it, search all, search in appointments only, search in todos only, search whole word, partial word, any words .... Not once did it ever complete the search with any result. Every single time, the function started, try for a while, then the program crashed. It simply terminate. I submitted the question to the company's support forum, the question itself didn't get posted until 5 days later - as the moderator has to screen every single post. When it did appear, other user indicated same problem on other smart phone as well. I'm not the only one.
Edit: the forum blocked my complaint, and finally come back with a question - it remotely sounds like it cares, but the question is useless. If they read my post, they would have found the answer there. I feel like dealing with a communist government official - sensor everything, sloooooooooow to respond and defend every criticism ...
Papyrus 2.0 - the calendar layouts are reasonably flexible, so you can customize how you want to see all the activities. The search is very fast, even if I have more than 30 matches, they show up as soon as the program finds them. There is one thing I don't like, but I suspect I may be able to figure out a way to change, that is, I only want to see todos that are not yet completed on a daily basis. Even though I have that specified, it is still showing me the todos that are already marked complete (not all of them, just the ones that have no dates associated with). To me, they are done, they are done. Why would I want to look at them everyday just because their complete dates were not marked? Other than that, everything seems to be pretty good. They've got nice colors just like Agenda One, and price is about the same.
Agendus Pro - Agendus Pro has a rich set of nice features - in addition to the regular calendar/todo/contact views, you can also access call log, email, quote of the day, day in history, weather forecast, and stock quote all from this application. I didn't think about these before, but, they are very nice to have. The cost of this product is no more than the others. Another nice feature - there is a tool bar (either on top or bottom of the screen) you can use to select the format of display (day view, week view, month view, list, contact, email, etc, etc. With the other products (Agenda One, and Papyrus), you have to press the view soft bottom, which brings up another screen that let you select the format. Agendus layout is more intuitive and direct.
Having said all of that, I do have a couple of complaints -
- Agendus Pro take up 3.7 MB, whereas Papyrus - 700 KB, Agenda One - 966 KB. These are the cab size, I know that Agendus Pro includes several language supports, which contribute to the bigger CAB size. Nevertheless, the memory foot print is still the biggest among the 3.
- my 2nd complaint is that when you load the program just to look at some details in an appointment, the program starts and you don't see anything in the calendar - it tells you that you don't have any activity. Then, a little box flashes "initializing ...", "initializing ...", "initializing ..." ... My screen went out 4 times before I can finally see the content of my day's calendar. If it takes less memory, I may just keep it running, which would not have the "initializing ..." problem. Since the program takes up so much memory, I don't want to keep it in the memory. This is a deal killer for me. It's too bad. I like the features a lot.
Edit: Since the above was written, I've tried two more software packages. Nothing stood out. One fenomenal ability make Papyrus shine among all the others is how fast the search function performs. Everyone else wait, and wait, and wait until they've collected all the matches and put them on the screen all at once. If you have a sizable database (mine has about 2000 entries), you'll be staring at a blank screen with a spinning wheel forever, the screen saver would kick in multiple times. Whereas Papyrus' search shows you the match results as it progresses through the database. Maybe the match I am looking for is the first couple out of 50, why would I need to wait until it finds 50 before showing me first two? That's just a simply logic. I don't get what the other developers were thinking ....
Needless to say, Papyrus 2.0 becomes my choice. Their forum is great, too! Very happy about this decision
thanks!
Hi.
I would know if is possible add a new line in Manila, under the calendar list of events.
As i shown in the pictures (the second modified by me with a pic editor) i try to show you what i like to do.
Exactly, i'd like to create a list of customers i must visit every day, in a file .txt, then, read the day of the week and put in the list only the customers for that day.
Example:
[Monday]
Customer 1
Customer 2
...
[Friday]
Customer 1
Customer 2
...
After the visit, a check box must exclude the customer from the list, but with the arrows keys up and down i can always reach the name again.
Anyone think it is possible?
Thanks in advance
Emanuele
Project stopped (temporarily?)
Because my phone broke, I decided to get an Android phone, and am not sure if/when I'll continue this project. (see post 130). Sorry
Previously at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515903 Since the original developer seems to have abandoned this project, I'm starting a new thread and continuing the development.
Main webpage: http://sites.google.com/site/iappsdevteam/Home/applications/iagenda
As per request, I'll upload new versions as they are developed, even if only minor. That also means, there is an increased risk of system crashes.

Version 0.494 May 26, 2010
Part of the edit screen is working.
Version 0.49 April 14, 2010
Added weekday to group headers
New default skin by Livven
Option in Settings to choose start screen
Added enable checkbox to Settings for those who have issues with the checkboxes crashing
Tried another bugfix for the checkbox (please let me know if it works)
Earlier versions
Bugfix (I hope) for allday appointments showing on two days(edit 4/19/10: still not working quite right).
Reintroduced sorting of tasks
Reintroduced timefilter for appointments (be aware though that if you have a lot of recurring appointments, setting the filter to 1 year, could take quite a time to load - Please give me feedback.
Tasks with a start date before today will show in Agenda view
Recurring appointments will show for the next 31 days (yearly recurring will show next 365 days)
Multiday appointments will show on all days in the appointment screen
Categories are shown on the edit screen
Even with large number of repeating appointments, the list should refresh relatively fast.
Tasks completed today will show with a check.
Program is no longer using caches for data, which means that every time it's opened, current data is used.
Recurring appointments: Will show yearly recurring appointments for the following year with the number of recurrences (mainly to see age for birthdays), and other recurring appointment for the next month.
It's now possible to mark items complete on the main lists.
Improved filtering and sorting
Bottom bar for calendar shows current date

Overview of iAgenda:
iAgenda is a finger-friendly appointments and tasks viewer for Windows Mobile PocketPC phones (all resolutions). It's easily skinnable, intuitive, and can be used instead of the standard Windows Mobile Pocket Outlook Calendar.
It is based on iContact (supbro version) source code, available here:
http://supware.net/iContact
iContact is used as a "scrollable framework" for applications that have the same look and feel. Program is written in C++.
iAgenda has the usual 5 buttons interface:
all appointments
all tasks
agenda view (today's appointments and tasks)
settings
search calendar
iAgenda can be localized. The default is "english.lng", which can be used as a base for translations. Other languages:
Czech (it's a little unclear if this works, one person says no, so please let me know)
Dutch
French
German
Greek
Hungarian
Italian
Norwegian
Romanian it's a little unclear if any of these two files for Romanian works.
Romanian_diacritics
Russian
Spanish
Language files be found here http://sites.google.com/site/iappsdevteam/Home/applications/iagenda/languages. If you have other language translations, you can submit them in this thread and I'll add them to the web page.
The source code is available through Svn at GoogleCode:
http://code.google.com/p/iagenda/
Skins can be found here: http://sites.google.com/site/iappsdevteam/Home/applications/iagenda/skins. See below for an example.
Current plans:
Option to reverse direction of slide.
Improve the settings integration.
Finger friendly edit screen.

Wow, great! I'll definitely follow the development of this .
I'm just working on some skins for iContact and iAgenda too! If you need some graphics just tell me, I'm willing to help.
exciting.
I will be following your progress. good luck... ...and may the force be with you- always.
Nice one. Will follow this development. Thanks for the effort.
Does this work on a qvga device? if not can you please release a qvga version?
It works on all resolutions.
Graphics help anyone?
I'm working on the code for being able to complete tasks on the main pages. In order to have it look nice, the icon for favorites (a star in the default theme), needs to be replaced with checkboxes (empty and checked). I did something preliminary, but it looks pretty bad.
So if someone wants to help that would be great. I've attached the default skin file.
If possible, it would be great if they would be transparent.
Also everyone skinning, should be aware of this, so they make the proper icons in the skin file.
Additionally, the settings icon is the same as for iContact. Anyone want to help me there? File attached.
A preview of the default.png is attached, but it's automatically compressed so I attached a ZIP as well. Is the blue okay or do you want it in green?
I did not make new icons, perhaps later.

Thanks for the translation! I'll put it on the web page.
If you read the first post, it only says I've started working on it, there is no new version yet. I thought I might have a version out before the weekend, but realized a bug had been introduced in a revision I wasn't aware of until now, so it might take a little longer to get rid of it.
Otherwise the code for checking off items on the main page is partially ready.
However, I have a question: The list is filtered so that only incomplete items are shown, so when a task is checked complete, it immediately disappears from the list. Until I change the filtering code, would it be acceptable to have a message box (like currently) when you are asked to confirm completing? Or should I just wait with the release until I rewrite the filtering code, so that completed items will be seen on the list with a checkmark?
Awesome! Anyone know how to make this the default calendar application?

I was just going to ask you to include exactly that . Anyway, I'd prefer if you release every minor version like nightlys (or weeklys or monthlys ), but only if that doesn't make too much work for you.

Ok, I'll do that, but prepared for bugs!
New version uploaded.
I have a problem with the previous an this new version too(I haven't use the program before) that makes quite difficult to use the program.
If I change the date from month screen to any other date exept the current, every single action takes at least a minute to complete, starting from taping on a date.
This behaviur stops only if I switch again to the current date.
Is this issue mentioned before?

If you have a really big file with lots of recurring appointments and tasks, that can happen.
And that's why I'm working on accessing the pim.vol file directly which should speed things up.
In the meantime you can go to the settings program, under Show Next: 1 week, 2 weeks etc. Try and shorten the time and see if that helps. Please report back.
No, I haven't any task or appointment. Only calendar events for name days. I have Show Next:1 week, but the problem still remains.
Is there a way to highlight today's events in a different color font using the Zooper Themer Widget? I know this can be done using the integrated Zooper Calendar Widget (old Simple Calendar Widget) but I like the flexibility afforded by the Themer version. Perhaps using conditionals to test if an event occurs today?

Hi.
I use this code under Advanced Parameters to highlight (bright yellow) today events:
[c]$#C0SD#=#SDATED#?#ffffff00#$[/c]
if you have several lines in your calendar showing next events you have to change the number 0 in C0SD to the apropiate one (0=first event, 1=second event and so on)
@cierzo I tried what you suggested, but that's just not working. So by trial and error, I got this, and its working. It highlights the "Today Events" in white otherwise they're left gray (default color, in my case)
[c]$#C0SEEEE#=#DEEEE#?#ffffffff$[/c]
@thunderboy19 hope this helps.
Was thinking of the same issue yesterday, until I found your post.
sent from my BatPhone.
According to this page
w w w .zooper.org/wp/android/zw/variables-reference[/url]
(sorry, can't post links so, please, remove spaces to get there)
#DEEEE# stores the name of the day in long format so I think that your code will highlight any future event at the same weekday than today.
Don't know where I found the code that I posted but definetly is not correct thought worked for me.
Try this one instead:
[c]$#C0SyD#=#DyD#?#ffffffff$[/c]
"y" stands for year and "D" stands for day of year.
This should work fine
@cierzo my parameter is working just fine actually.

@cierzo Well I have fb sync enabled, so I just changed the system date to 11th (as you might see in the screenshot) & it's just working fine. And its not that I'm arguing our trying to challenge your skill set, it's just what I came across over my usage experience. I may or may not be correct, but I'd learn by making corrections whenever this'd give any issues. No offence. Peace.

No offence, dont' worry.
FIY I just tested your code and it's working as I said before: it highlights future events.
Anyway it's a fantasting widget with lots of possibilities.
I'll keep reading.
Cheers.

I suppose you're not changing the parameter values for the succeeding events. Like
C0SEEE for 1st,
C1SEEE for 2nd and,
C2SEEE for 3rd.
Cz all the events would be highlighted if you'd have set "C0SEEE" in all the lines. Hope you understood.

Let me explain:
Today is Saturday, April 5th
Imagine you have three events shown in your calendar and those events are today, next monday and next saturday
The #DEEEE# variable stores today's value: Saturday
#C0SEEE# stores 1st event day: Saturday. As #C0SEEE# = #DEEEE# ==> Highlighted
#C1SEEE# stores 2st event day: Monday. As #C1SEEE# != #DEEEE# ==> Normal
#C2SEEE# stores 3st event day: Saturday. As #C2SEEE# = #DEEEE# ==> Highlighted
(!= stands for not equal)
If you use other date values:
#DyD# stores 201495 (year 2014, 95th day of the year)
#C0SyD# stores 201495
#C1SyD# stores 201497
#C2SyD# stores 2014102
As you can see, only the first event value is equal to today's value.
@cierzo Now I got exactly what you meant.
Apologies.
Thanks bro.
>>XPERIA Neo V<<
I just came across this post and was hoping someone could fill me in. If my first event occurs today, then all the events are highlighted. Please let me know what I did wrong.
For the rich text I did edit text manually:
Code:

I'm trying to design a homescreen that's fairly compact and functional. Rather than displaying the actual events that will be occuring, I want to try and get my widget to tell me how many events are occuring today and tomorrow ie:
x events today, y events tomorrow.
However, I can't seem to find any method of possibly achieving this. Is it possible to get Zooper to count events between now and say, midnight?
I've searched around and i couldn't find anything (or I'm just bad at searching). Any help would be much appreciated!

As far as the exact syntax, I'd have to think on/test it, but logic-wise I might have a solution and from it you can hack through the syntax to make it work.
Firstly, Zooper can't count or support arrays or loops, etc. So, you'd have to find a way to get each event to equal a "(1)" and then add them all together.
The easiest way to do this would be with Tasker and then send over a single variable to Zooper, but Tasker's native Calendar app integration is somewhat hit or miss depending on device and Android version, etc.
So, how can we do this in Zooper? Well as I was typing this I tried testing a few different way and realized each time you perform a mathematical operation in Zooper the result is a display result and not a new number you can then add or subtract from something else.
Maybe someone has a solution though. Would be interested to see how it can be done without Tasker.
It seems the following would work for counting today's remaining events. All-day events may mess it up. The basic idea is to test if event n is today and event n+1 is not today. It would look like this
...
$#CnSyyyyMMdd#<=#DyyyyMMdd#&&#Cn+1SyyyyMMdd#>#DyyyyMMdd#?n+1$
...
Or,
$#C0SyyyyMMdd#>#DyyyyMMdd#?0$
$#C0SyyyyMMdd#<=#DyyyyMMdd#&&#C1SyyyyMMdd#>#DyyyyMMdd#?1$
$#C1SyyyyMMdd#<=#DyyyyMMdd#&&#C2SyyyyMMdd#>#DyyyyMMdd#?2$
$#C2SyyyyMMdd#<=#DyyyyMMdd#&&#C3SyyyyMMdd#>#DyyyyMMdd#?3$
$#C3SyyyyMMdd#<=#DyyyyMMdd#&&#C4SyyyyMMdd#>#DyyyyMMdd#?4$
$#C4SyyyyMMdd#<=#DyyyyMMdd#?5+$
You can expand it up if you want, but all this has to be on one line. You can probably shorten it with yy instead of yyyy. Now as far as tomorrow's events, good luck.

I came up with a similar solution for todays events as ewcrider (also should be one line in Zooper):
$#C0SddMMyy#=#DddMMyy#&&#C1SddMMyy#!=#DddMMyy#?1$ $#C1SddMMyy#=#DddMMyy#&&#C2SddMMyy#!=#DddMMyy#?2$
$#C2SddMMyy#=#DddMMyy#&&#C3SddMMyy#!=#DddMMyy#?3$
$#C3SddMMyy#=#DddMMyy#&&#C4SddMMyy#!=#DddMMyy#?4$
$#C4SddMMyy#=#DddMMyy#&&#C5SddMMyy#!=#DddMMyy#?5$
The difficulty is that the event number order changes so that the first upcoming event will always be C0, second C1 etc.
So for instance if you create the first event tomorrow it will be C0 but if you then create a event for today this will become C0 and the event for tomorrow will become C1.
