http://www.theunwired.net/?item=dev...gory=01-general-news&category=01-general-news saw this seams like a great idea also could as it says make a remote control for vista/xp media centre that works would be fantastic think of the possibilities any devs fancy a challenge..
Cooooooooooooooooooool
this is what i have been waiting for. Thankx for the update
Cool, I can't wait till there's something downloadable to play with. I used Rudeo MCE control with XP MCE, but I don't think it works with Vista Media Center.
Cube Dev leading to a Sideshow Enviroment (Raven_coda and Kona_Mtbkr???)
Seeing the work that Raven_coda and Kona_Mtbkr have done to emulate the Cube, I wonder if they would be interested in turning their hands to emulating the, so-far, unreleased Sideshow for Windows Mobile.
It looks like a pretty swanky interface and I'm sure that, if it were available now, most people would be racing to get in onto their devices.
Obviously it is more complicated than the Cube in that each page has live/updating data displayed, but what a project to get your teeth into.
It could be created in page form like the Cube, with sweeping motions to move to the next page and even be called up by the DownUp sweeping motion used to open the Cube. The opening could also included a rotation of the screen.
Just a suggestion...
i like that idea of having the information from sideshow, whats playing now with wmp, or rss, or stocks or email from the mail sideshow, that would be great.
or on the HTC Home screen where you go left or right to view each sideshow gadgets displayed information.
I really like the idea of having a "slide to answer" phonecanvas - so one don't by accident ignore or answer the phone.
Sadly though, what I've tried - it seems WAAAY to slow.
If I get an incomming call, the phone starts to light up... then showing the canvas...
If I then put my finger on the slider, and start sliding - nothing happends for the first second... I need to let it "load" the slider completly - and then it's ready for sliding..
all in all - this whole procedure takes so long - the phone might return to the answeringmachine...
So, I'm wondering if there's any lightweight "slide to answer" canvas'es out there - that work on the Diamond?
You must have some serious problems with your phone. Canvas is working, and is working normally, i.e. without any delays and such. I recommend flashing some other rom with slide answer ans trying it yourself. For good measure you could backup your data and clean the storage too...
I've tried a few WM 6.5 ROMS, but that ALL have the same sluggish behavior.
Currently I'm using my own WM 6.5 from the GSM kitchen - which seems really fast in all programs - but still a bit slow when loading the phone canvas... and the slider
Manilla is for example working REALLY fast - close to no delay at all (That I can notice anyway)
It's like the phone has a lot to do when there's an incoming call... Like it has to startup alot of software?
Maybe someone has a video of how fast the phone is - when there's an incoming call?
I've tried upgrading my radio aswell - but that didn't make any difference.

HTC Phone Canvas or Tachi are slower on 6.5 ROMS. Try it on 6.1, you will note the diference.
EDIT: If you don't use video call it is better to use default winmo 6.5 with some tweak to lock you device by default. Or use it with S2U2.

That's my advice, too!
Disable the HTC PhoneCanvas through Registry and use S2U2 with the Slide to answer option instead! It's way faster then HTC Slide to answer!
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:0
Ok, I just gave S2U - and I must admit - it's WAAAAAY better!
I disabled the HTC canvas using the registry fix...
Sadly the Windows answer-canvas will pop-up just before the S2U (will only be visible for under half a second...) Is there any way to completly disable the Windows answer canvas - and ONLY use the S2U?
Iconsoft Phone Extension (PhonEx) is the best phone dialer (for me), but it is not free
It also has some kind of slide to answer but in UP direction.

No, that's (currently) not possible!
I think in S2U2 settings you have something like "On wake up delay start of S2U2". The value is in ms. It's set to 500 by default i think. I didn't experiment with this, but try to set it to a lower value. It just might make the default windosw answer screen "invisible" ..

No, it won't simply start instead.
Well wierd. I had it set to 300ms, and you could se the windows answer notification for...well, around 0,3 sec. Then i set it to OFF, and if my eyes arent cheating me, it shows up faster. The windows notification just blinks once under s2u2, and that's it..
I recently picked up my habit of meditating again, and found it rather difficult to meditate for a while without losing track of time or reaching my intended quiet time.
Thus, I have developed MeditationTimer for this. A very simple 1 screen timer that allows you to set the number of minutes you wish to meditate and start it. When the sound option is selected it will play a sound after finishing and go back to the start screen.
Looking for some feedback on how the GUI works and scales on various phones, as it's my first WM application ever. Developed on a HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5
Requirements:
- .NET CF 3.5
- Windows Mobile 6 (6.1, 6.5)
- 1MB of storage
Features:
- Simple to use Sense SDK GUI
- Plays a gentle sound upon completion
Features to implement:
- Delayed start
- Run in unattended mode with the screen turned off
- Display a different form when meditating only showing the time left and a cancel button.
- Configurable sounds
Current issues:
The application currently calls SystemResetIdleTimer() while running, which obviously drains the battery way more than required, as meditating doesn't require you to interact with the phone. I did that so I could already start using it myself, instead of postponing it until I figured out how to get it to run in unattended mode.
Secondly: It plays a stock Microsoft sound taken from Windows 7, embedded as a resource. Obviously not the best sound, but it does the job for now. I do need to replace it.
And thirdly: It's a single screen application. Meaning that everything it does is a bit cluttered as it all happens in the main form where you can start a new session. I'm currently working on this to separate that out, and have a more tranquil second screen just display the time and a stop button.
Will take a look and do some tests.
Thanks, I would love this app if it had multiple timers, with a simple layout like :
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Time-Tracker/PSH-EggTimer-57867.shtml
That sounds great (and a great idea too).
Thanks to have developped that.
A way that I would like it to work (not for meditating, sorry) should be to hear a beep every past hour (but not at night), maybe is it possible to implement your prog this way.
Thanks for sharing!
after using it I had to reset the phone
Hi
I like your idea of application, I would like to use it frequently,
but after trying it I had to reset the phone, before I could do other things,
the program would not shut down, the button turn of screen did not work.
after the soft reset, when trying again, it did not shut down.
maybe good idea is to have a button with the choice to block all incoming phonecalls, or block all other sounds maybe?
also different sounds would be great.
I am using hd2, with original latest rom, and spb shell 3.5.

Should probably change name of app so people dont get it mixed up with...

What an excellent idea! I am going to give this a whirl too. I have been slacking on the meditation lately anyway. Thanx for the cool app!

I'm using already a long time, if you will include the functionality of this program I will test it out. The screenshoots of your program looks already nice.
Best regards and good luck !
Best regards Wolfgang
badass app!!!!
I used this twice since install. Both times were 15 mins. The program worked just as it should on Sprint TP2, stock ROM. I really like it. Very simple and functional.
- The pic on the XDA page advertising the app would be perfect for an icon! (There was no icon in the .cab, right? )
While looking in the /windows directory of my phone i noticed a file for user profiles. This got me thinking that it may be possible to create users on a winmo device and switch them on the fly. This could prove useful for use with something like the redfly system to set a ui up for that and a ui for normal phone use so the phone becomes not only a phone but your netbook as well - with ui's tailored to the different uses. Could this be done?

Was thinking this might be possible with second today and a few mortscripts but st is showing its age and more and more phones are not compatible. any ideas?
Windows Mobile does not support users. There is only one user, which represents current environment, we can not change this.
Thank you for your reply.
Guess im stuck using second today.
Hey,
I just installed the Consumer Preview, and I think we can find hints to WP8 in it.
For example, various hubs found on WP are in W8. An interesting one is the Messaging hub, which like on WP allow you to chat with your Facebook and Messenger contacts, I think the next logical step is SMS syncing.
Another thing I noticed is that Zune and Windows Media Player is completely missing. There's a seperate music and video player.
Also, when I plug in my HTC HD7 nothing happens. It doesn't say installing drivers, Phone found, .. nothing.
There are also a lot of mentions of syncing throughout the OS, syncing with other devices and users. I think this will eventually mean that alle info from your Phone can be seamlessly synced to your PC and vice versa, making things a whole lot easier when you buy a new phone. Just plug in, sync and go.
There are tons of similarities too.
Multitasking is much the same, you also get a small preview window of the app.
What did you find?
I pary every day that they change their minds and not release it for laptops or PC's. It's greate for touch screens and pads though but just doesn't feel the same on non touch devices; MS will be making a big mistake if they go through with making people use a mouse and keyboard on theire PC's and non touch screen laptops.
Im using it with a mouse, and it's just fine, I dont find it hard or unnatural to use.
Some ideas are brilliant and very innovative, like metro style switching between apps, screens etc.
But at the same time it's like a double OS what is just nonsense. Two different IE10? Idiotic. No background image under tiles? Tacky.
I think they have to unite it somehow, it's still looks like a half baked beta. I won't install this stuff on my PC.
I seriously have no idea what drives these guys, but it all looks like a half way through.

Why?? I'm perfectly happy on Windows 7 64bit!
Super stable, nice looking, great features.
And a great environment for proffessional work, in my case music. Apps I use work great.
As I said, I wish Windows 8 beeing united without loosing current usability and ADDING some great 8's features.
They just want to push some stuff too much.
BTW, I seriously don't like Apple stuff at all.

they did that because some people would complain about being forced into metro, which isn't the case. But I guess either way they get complaints.
From what I have heard or have been hearing, Windows 8 sounds amazing. can't wait to get it.

Well Zune was never preinstalled and when I connect my WP7 to a Windows 7 PC without Zune, it doesn't do anything either.
Windows Media Player is still there but it is just the desktop app.
im liking what i see so far with windows 8,
but on aside note,

no big MS stuff about windows phones
I tried Windows 8. It's not very good at all as a computer OS. I'm a power user, and I was totally lost. I can only imagine how confused your average Joe will be.

You were lost because you hadn't worked with it. Same as if you picked up an ipad for the 1st time, a phone with a different O/S, ect. It took me about 8 hours to get the gist of the flow. Once i did though, man it's fast. I wish though the ep121 tablet i have had the resolution for snap though. That's a little dissapointing. Other than that, it's fast and smooth and actually now i wish the desktop was gone completely and everything metro.
Also anyone else have any issues with the USA today app? Seems to crash on and off on me. Other than that everything seems very stable and i LOVE the onscreen keyboard. Nothing like the crap that i had to use with Windows 7 on the tablet.
Great news

I didnt know this. Thats good to hear!
Just read comprehensive review of current Win8.
Must say: MICROSOFT WAKE UP!
Windows 8 is the most unintuitive crap I've seen.
Layers instead of logic.
Just hope it's just another beta and some sensible people will take care of this idiocy.
As I said before, improvements have to have sense.
Why the f... they even removed the Win key.
And yes, average Joe will have no freaking idea what is this.
Any reason this is not in the Windows 8 section?

Ah I mean Win icon on screen of course, not the physical keyboard key.
Touch the right side of screen. Win / start key is there. Its not needed on the onscreen keyboard because of this. Please try it out before you makeup stories that aren't true.

He attempts to compare it with WinPhone, but Windows 8 is a entirely different beast. It offers a ton of information with natural movements to get things done.
Thats windows x86 btw.
One thing I'm noticing is a lack of portrait mode.
