Develop Bugs

[PROJ] Manila: show all message content

Like many others, I didn't like the cut-off of messages in the new manila interface.
Therefore I will start here a collective project to change this behavior. And I am not sure that we can change it because the solution has to change the code self.
But why not trying?
25.3., 11:56
Problem: The messages (sms) output in the new manila cut off some messages.
Details: I check it a littlebit and don't find a rule. Some messages have more then 3 lines. Some of my messages are cut-off on different positions (from 86-106).
Therefore I also think that this behavoir is not the specification from HTC like some users hear assume.
I mentioned that we first find out, what really goes wrong before we can search in the code.
PS. This is a development thread! Post ratings and comments in other threads, please!

25.3., 12:53
Tests
a) As I mentioned before there is no cut-off after some (3) lines but after some characters. My longest test message have 30(!) lines.
b) It seems to be that the output of a messege demends of the message self, the sender name and the date/time.
c) The output is always cut-off after the same length. Because of different sender and timestamps the messagetext lenght is different (see b).
d) When afterwards the length of the sender name is changed, the output of the messagetext keep the same. Even after a restart nothing changes.
=> There is a fix counter for the length of the whole message. This counter seems to be (HTML-code) 160 characters(!).
I am looking now in the code where the HTML-Output is created and if I here can change this fixed length.

25.3., 14:30
Update The html- and css-files from windows are not used by manila. Continue searching the source.

i have the same problem
this is real a good project.
thanks much.

U can use manila editor to edit messaging.mode9 and resize message text area.
or make a mod (like i did for diam) that can zoom sms text.

Yes, this is my next step.

look at the first "fix", here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495450
it did worked for me. in the above thread you participated also
look at the "Help with Link to "All people" page of manila V2" and see who brought the fix.. remember?
on the subject: i wrote to my self a SMS who looked like this:
1
2
3
4
5
and so on. even before i applied the fix this kind of message was not "cut". i wrote 12 lines and i was able to see all of them.
then i sent a 5 lines message but with words. this time the message got cut and only after applying the fix i was able to read it.

Sure? This fix change the input field for threaded microsoft(!) messages. I made some other test with this files (also the CSS) and in my ROM it has nothing to do with the manila(!) messages.

See screen shot
Not sure what he has changed though

would this fix work for the messaging app in dutty's 2.1 ROM... i'd love to move to 2.4 but i've been experiencing 3-5 second screen freezes 4-5 times a day. thanks!

Noterrific - note keeping/structuring app

Noteriffic 0.53
Copyright (C) 2004 Rudis Muiznieks
Noteriffic is a quick little app I wrote because I felt that the PPC was
lacking a nice, simple, free note keeping/structuring application that has a
desktop counterpart....
All credit goes to Rudis, but now we have WVGA-Screens, so :
Could anybody of those famous and brave developers
compile this VB-Project for >> WVGA << ?
(Its working fine with QVGA and VGA)
Thanks a lot

Creature/entity appeared in mirror,
LOL

kahe40, I wanted to change something in this app the other day so downloaded a trial version of visual studio from MS plus dotnet compact framework. It let me edit the Noterrific source code and compiled a new version fine. I'm sorry I don't have time right now to work out incorporating WVGA, but thought you might like to know what I found out.
ps. if anyone wants the new source/compilation I can post. I simply added the ability for the app to remember which node it is on and return there next time it opens (otherwise it always ended up opening way down the list which drives me mad).

thanks ddk2, please have nice holidays, maybe later we can see...
what do you think about a dark grey background with white text ?
dont know, maybe there are problems with icons and checkboxes ?
and second: in settings, there is: use smaller font for list/display
would you please change to: use bigger font (only one step)

kahe40, did a very quick patch for you, no longer have large/small font, just textboxes so you can set your font size.
Source attached. Find exe's in each project (pda/desktop) in subdir bin\Release.
This version has my mods as described above.
Before you use it, take a copy of your data file (ntn ext) as mine was cleared out somewhere during testing and had to restore. I don't think its a bug, just something from testing, but take backup just to be safe.
Also did a quick test of grey background. Doesn't look that good to me, icons didn't come out well etc. Also presents issues that unless hardcode to grey, then need to make user option to set colour and that's a whole lot of frigging around....be my guest

very nice, good job, thanks a lot my friend

kahe40, don't know if you are still watching this but I just discovered I made a cockup in the last piece of code. I misinterpreted the use of one variable and the resultant problem shows up next time you go to add a node (I haven't added one for quite a while).
This version has corrected that. Also, changed the way I had it remembering which node it was on between sessions. Now saves with the apps variables (a sep file) rather than in the note file itself. Plus side is its much faster closing the app. Another sideaffect is that when syncing the file between pda and desktop, they each have their own memory of the last used node.

Yes, I am guilty my friend,
I traded my TouchHD for an iPhone, dont want to be banned from
this forum, but - man, oh man - what a wonderful OS ...
So I use the old version as shopping-list with my KS20 (QVGA).
Will test your new version soon, thanks a lot.

hello there
I've found this app some weeks ago to keep track of my actions on my work
Like a time log
Is there some some other app (free/paid) that does the same job.

[XAP + Source] Advanced Explorer [Version 1.4]

Hello XDA Community,
@DEVELOPERS: I need some developers with other devices to make things (at least parts of advanced explorer) work on other devices (i have a htd hd7). !Programming & Testing!
Please PM me
To bring all together what xda achieved for WP7, i wrote a helper app for the following tasks,
- File management
- Registry management
- Copy files from desktop to phone
- Copy files from phone to desktop
- Set max unsigned apps
- Provision any given XML
If you post in this thread how any of those features could be implemented on other devices, i will maybe implement them. You can always send me a modified version and i will maybe update this post with the new version!
Usage/(Release-)Notes on the website!
If you encounter any errors, or wanna give some feedback => just leave a post here or use the idea page or write me an email (go to contact on the homepage)!
I included the source code, so that anybody can modify it at will but do not use anything here for commercial purposes (contact me first).
Homepage for this project:
http://sites.google.com/site/yaafdevelopers/projects/advanced-explorer-for-wp7
You can give feedback / bugreports:
http://advancedexplorerwp7.codeplex.com/
(Go to Discussion or Issue Tracker)
You will find the latest version and the Release-Notes there. I will continue to watch this thread!
Because some people asked how to support/donate me:
I appreciate every donation! Thank you!
reddragon

He that is great stff... i am glad you added the source i was thinking about how this could work having had a little peek at the code in the samples that Ms provided.
wings over a thanks too

Question...If you send a file, where does the device dump it into the computer? I was getting an error sending the file to my computer at first, but then I configured correctly and it sends fine, but I don't know where it is...
Edit: Nevermind, I got it. Upload/Download Root folders. Good work on this app man. Pretty nifty. Uploaded a .doc from my laptop to the phone, copy/pasted it into My Docs and it appeared and opened on MS Office Word perfectly.

nice ! but ...
Nice app !
But can't send from \windows directory ?..

Re: can't send from \windows
Hey,
like i said in my first post i brought together what was achieved...
Im using the HTC app COM dll files for file system access. Actually you can send files from \windows but not all. (in usage or no access)...
If somebody knows a better way, or something for other devices => just implement and send it, or post here!
The problem: Now it works on my device, so I can do what i wanted to do (coping .pdf and other stuff on the wp7) I have not the time to search & wait for other devices.
I tried to code it very generic and emulated the System.IO namespace, so everybody can add his results or replace it with better results.
Just contact me and I will check the code and update the first post.

actually you can double tab any file and it should open from any folder.
To get PDF working I copy the file to the PDF reader (most likely the app will crash if Adobe reader is not installed), but you will not see anything as PDF reader just pops up with the file
Just like always contact me if there are file types missing!

cool app, ty
how long did it take?

hi reddragon93, thank you for your work, i've an lg optimus 7, is there an eta for explorer for other device?
i need it!!!
thank you so much!

I really can understand you because I needed this for myself (that's why I coded it in the first place)
But the answer is NO, because we have to wait until somebody finds a way to get access on other devices and shares the info (i will observe this thread for new infos).
And by the way you should not ask for ETA in developer forum (forum rules), but it's OK for me. Hope you will be the only one after my answer
I answered this question in my first post:
"If you post in this thread how any of those features could be implemented on other devices, i will maybe implement them"
Hope I answered your question.
reddragon

thanks, you were very kind,
apologize me for the ETA, i did not know, i'm just a student not a developer!
good work!

EDIT: I can't figure out how to mark a post as useful yet, so let me just say THANK YOU!!!
Awesome app. However, there are a few things that would be nice in terms of file types:
Any chance of getting support for loading .mobi files (Kindle ebooks)? I'd love to be able to sideload books that aren't in the Amazon store.
Currently, .log files won't open. Copy/renaming them to .txt should work, or a simple text reader/editor could be built-in.
Possible bug: the "Max unsigned apps" field in Settings is showing "Not set - (can't read from registry)" Setting it from within the app seems to work, though (and be remembered).
Feature request: ability to search the registry
Small change request: pressing Back on an Exception could do the same as OK (rather than exiting).
Overally, much thanks for an awesome tool!

Thanks for feedback

Thanks for your feedback!
(1) I really needed the app for myself (real pdf support) so... The Thanks Button is only visible with 5+ Posts
(2) i will pm you maybe if i find some spare time. This is most likely pretty simple to implement. Can you edit your (or create a new) post and describe what happens if you double tab a kindle book with the current version?
(3) yeah i saw this before but didn't thought it is important enough to implement. I don't have the time for the own Editor (you have to handle really big files for example) but i can do the renaming thing behind the scenes (remember renaming = copy+delete until a better solution is found).
(4) on first app start i have really no solution in determining how the value is set (no access on this key). So my solution was to set this text ("Not set - (can't read from registry)" until you set a value => then i save this value local to the app, and set it every time the app starts (It gets reset every time i connect the device to the PC anyway)
(5) "search the registry": I thought on this one... But this will not be of much use as we have not really much read access
NOTE: The Problem with the registry is that we have FULL WRITE access trough the provxml method but not very much READ access (HTC COM .dll)
(6) really? I'm satisfied with the current behavior. Without searching I don't know if this is a small change maybe it is, maybe not. At least it looks like one but that doesn't mean anything
reddragon

Thanks for the response, reddragon. I'm at work right now, so the .mobi thing will have to wait. It's a very common request among WP7 users around here, though.
I've found that selecting the Edit context item will open any file in Word, which is typically sufficient for viewing and even editing purposes! True plain text files open fine regardless of extension, and even binary files will usually have enough ASCII in them to determine useful info. You can also send any file (via email) from Word, if you want to email an attachment rather than just transfer to a PC.
Unfortunately, I've found that XML files just... don't work. Double-clicking them opens IE, which complains that it can't handle that file type. Selecting Edit on them looks like it's opening some Office app, but the app then closes and drops back into Advanced Explorer (no error). This is the currently problematic filetype, as a *lot* of data is stored in XML.
The "Registry Editor" app already provides registry search (and despite the security restrictions on read it *mostly* works) but without system copy-paste it's tricky moving data between apps. I enjoy being able to pan between the FS and registry... hell, I want a Windows (desktop) app that does this, now.
It looks like there's FS search (an option on the command bar, and a text box that appears) but I can't get it to do anything. Pressing Enter has no effect, tapping either Refresh or Search again just reloads the page. Am I using this right? It would be great to be able to either scroll long folders (\Windows) or find a filename behind a bunch of GUIDs.
Some files show as "0 b" size, even though they almost certainly aren't. Is that just because some program has an exclusive lock on them and their size can't be read in that state?
Any chance of the ability to create folders in the GUI (I think I see how to do it with provxml files, but that's not exactly convenient)?
Thanks for the explanations on the registry. I was wondering how you could write to locations that you can't read from... Also, I didn't know the sideload limit resets itself. That's something I'll have to watch out for, as I'm near the nominal sideload limit already. Hmm... maybe I should look into writing an app that lets the phone install a .XAP directly, to minimize the amount of PC connecting that's needed.
Sorry, I know that's a lot of comments and questions. If it helps, I showed this to a couple of other HD7 owners today, and the immediate response of both of them was "I've got to get that!" This is a great app, super-convenient and good for making the occasional Samsung Focus owner jealous ;-D
Actually, I'm a developer myself (mostly C/C++, but I know C#). I'll crack a look at the source when I get a chance (probably this weekend) but would you be interested in a patch if there's something I can improve? One thing I might add is an optional "Did you mean that?" prompt on the Back button, as it's a little too easy to hit and knock you clear out of the app (optional of course, as I understand some people don't have such problems).
Thanks again!

does anyone know the latest ETA on compatibility for samsung devices?

Yeah the best way to handle the edit mode would be an editor inside the app, but that's quite some work i guess... So if somebody is willing to write such a control just contact me!
But the current workaround is quite simple: Upload your file, edit it with the powerful editors you know and send it back to the phone...
In fact what i did was send the complete windows/applications folder and all files that where successfully send can be edited (on the others you have no access anyway).

Well I think it's not that difficult to implement a search for registry. It's funny to say that all the time but I thought on this one too and if you look on the source code you will see that i positioned the search/filter text box out of the explorer pivot to use it for registry search or other purposes. If you find it really that useful with the current read restrictions... yeah I should just implement it...

In fact this is a filter function so that large folders can be loaded much faster. Just enter "a*" and make the keyboard disappear (tab anywhere else) and you see only the files/folders starting with "a". I don't know why "enter" on keyboard doesn't do anything, I will look into this. I should update the usage in my first post, thanks.

Hehe, i thought on this one too as it is already implemented (just create a folder in UploadRoot drop a file and start downloading it to the phone => the folder gets created). I will look into this.
Can you (or anybody) provide me with an example on how to rename a folder via provxml. And in Yaaf.WP7.NativeAccess.IO.File i have in the "Move" method some code commentated. Can somebody please un-comment, debug and tell me why the hell this provision-xml is invalid / not working, thanks.

I didn't look into that but i think it is not enough to simply create the guid folder and drop content there... Anyway you can use the "NativeAccess" Projekt to get all the access i used in the Explorer. But you have to create links from your main projekt to the COM-dlls so they get included into the xap file.

Configuration Service Provider Reference for Windows Mobile Devices

Have you used the forum-search? You'll find a post which describes you how to get these books to your phone (it's by me). I can't give you the link because I send this from my HD7.

really great app. Also like the pc<->phone feature
I use it now very often, so I think it needs:
-2 Filebrowser Tabs
-or an option to "bookmark" certain folders

Good application but needs some improvement
Application is useful..however the text field is somewhat small in size. Also, I am unable to scroll down to 'description' and 'password' field is easily...
Have a look at the screenshot. I am using HTC Mozart

Also you will need to allow to copy the password or the account name e.g. twitter handle

That's being added to the list Never thought of that actually Great idea (Y)

1) Also the text box should be bigger so I can See what is getting typed in.
2) I should be able to edit it.
3 ) When pushing the encrypt button the app exists on me.

You should provide an option to have a 'master password' kind of thing. This will keep our encrypted data safe from others. Decrypt option can be used to access all the sensitive information like password, site.
See youtube video link for better idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZyEslVBVCE&hd=1

A masterkey is already being worked on, and it will also affect the cryptation of the data.
I will hopefully release a new version today with:
Site URI clickable and opens in Webbrowser
Able to copy Username/Password/description
Add accound page fixed

Looks nice. But I have one question, can I import passwords database in kdb format (create on PC using KeePassX)? When not are you plan to make this function?
EDIT
Ups, didn't see that is for WP7.

Cool. I shall wait for the new version..I will post the video as soon as I get my hands on the new version. Ability to open link in the new browser, masterkey, ability to copy-paste will definitely make this application much more useful.Al the best.

Just posted the update
EDIT: Just added a new version which removes the build date thingies in the about page that I forgot to remove

Soo, no comments on the updated version?

This will be posted on wAppStore, just waiting for confirmation

Rewriting this from scratch ! Doing some changes on the basic workings and a major graphical overhaul

[MOD]Windows 8 Metro Icons for Non-Metro Programs!

THIS IS NOT A QUESTION!​
>Okay, so I had a thought, why try registry hacking to modify icons on the start screen when there must be a much simpler way? Well I may have come up with a solution... I have not personally tested this yet and it would only be a temporary solution although I don't see why it wouldn't work so let's see how it goes hey?
>My basic idea came when I was using my iPad earlier and got linked to the appstore, now I know this is hardly related although the same happen on computers, so what I thought is why not use a similar technique to launch desktop programs from a metro app (Or a website saved to the startscreen), using a bit of HTML and JavaScript it "should" be possible to launch a link to a program automatically when a page launches.
HTML:
Launch the executable
<script>
function LaunchApp() {
if (!document.all) {
alert ("Available only with Internet Explorer.");
return;
}
var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
ws.Exec("{EXE FILE LOCATION}");
}
</script>
This is assuming you know the file location (There are other ways, this is the way iTunes does it) now the only thing you need to do is make a basic HTML file and make sure you include the icon for the Start Screen and a good title for it. It may seem like a lot of work although after you have one basic app you can make more faster and add them to your startscreen a lot faster I hope this helps some people, I will personally have a play with it later and see if I can build some example launchers for you to use. I also plan to soon write a full guide along with creating a proper windows 8 startscreen compatible website.

Oh this version is also based on IE being your default browser, I will add updated code in a few days (The only browsers you can add icons with are IE or Chrome anyway and an IE wrapper in the chrome webstore could fix this anyway!)

Pretty sweet, I'll test when I get home. Do you know if this could be used to work with Metro apps as well? I'd like to be able to set my own tile color, I prefer the "accent color" approach on Windows Phone. The various mish mash of random colors in Windows 8 gets under my skin.

quite possibly although I think you can actually edit metro apps anyway, I forget the directory though.

not sure.. haven't tried it yet though.. someone will I think. and he's coming in 3.... 2.... 1....
