Download
The last version can be found here. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5184604&postcount=771)
A final version, as well as screenshots, will be available soon.
Instructions
After installing. Start the application and run the Updater. After that, go to menu -> options -> Accounts to create a new account.
Choose the desired provider and fill in the necessary information.
Now you're ready to use VoipSMS!
SmartPhone
The original SmartPhone version is still available. It will not be updated anymore. I'll give limited support in this thread.
The SmartPhone version can be found under Attachments.
Cool...I'm in a similar GF situation...I assume this will work with just about any VOIP provider as long as I know their link? I am using VoipStunt.com...
I didn't know about VoipStunt. But it seems to be another VOipBuster clone So it works.
Use this url: https://myaccount.voipstunt.com/clx/sendsms.php
Awesome...Thanks...Ya, VOIPStunt has some better rates for SMS to the places I need to send them...Been using them for about 2 months now, and its a great service. Much better than Skype.
It's funny to see the differences in prices between VoipBuster, VoipRaider and VoipStunt.
The application is exactly the same (except the looks) as well as the site... but the prices are different.
I'm see one bug in this software, when I'm trying to send sms for example to free destination 001112223344, but voipsms deleting zeros and sending messages to 1112223344, then I receive - insufficient funds on my account or didn't send any messages if account funded. Another one with the same zeros, when I'm trying to send sms to 111002223344 (111000223344 any numbers with double and more zeros) it sends to 1112223344 so number is wrong.
Can it be fixed?
Thank you.
Ah I see.
Bug 1: Only leading zero's should be removed. This is because of the format that VoipBuster expects. The format should be: [countrycode without the 00 or + sign][areacode without leading zero][number]
So for holland it should be +31 0123 456789
This number must be formatted to: 31_123_456789 (without the underscores)
Bug 2: 00110022003344 is changed into 11223344. This is wrong. It must be 110022003344.
I'll try to fix these bugs tonight. Thank you very much for testing and posting!
The bug with the incorrect formatting of the phonenumber is solved in the new version (1.1)
The other issue about the insufficient funds is not a bug. It's the result which the application receives after sending the message.
Great software.
However, I am still facing the same problem which I face with other VoIP SMS Software and that is my phone number is not sent so the user does not know what I am the one sending the text message (unless I tell them).
Am using VoipStunt which the URL you provided.
That is something which can only be set with the Windows Application. There you can verify your number and set your 'caller id'.
As far as I know.
If not, please let me know.
I have verified my numbers and I can even select those numbers when I use the Windows application.
I am currently located in the US so the country code is +1. I entered 11234567890 (where 1234567890) is my number and +11234567890 but in both instances, the ID that the recipient received was some other number (which is not even in my address book).
When I used other VoIP SMS software, the recipient would see my username when I sent an SMS using such software but now with your software, it sends something else altogether.
Do let me know if you need more information on my part.

I'll try to search things out how to arrange this. It would be a very welcome feature.
I'll keep you informed. For now I don't need any additional information though I don't have any idea how to do this.
Hi Rapsody! Thank's for your great application. I would like to ask you something. I have tried to use voipsms to send messages via voipraider. Messages sent to Greece are free via voipraider. I can send messages to Greece normally using the pc application and the html link. When I try to send a message from voipsms I get the message that says that I don't have enough credit to send a message. I don't need to have credits because messages to Greece are free and I can send a message from the pc application. Why is this happening? Thank's again

That's something I discovered as well.
The application sends a message using the HTML link of Voipbuster/VoipRaider. The result of that call is an XML file. The content of the XML contains that exact error message. So basically the error that you have insufficient funds are coming directly from the server.
I have the feeling (and I also saw other people talking about it at the forum of VoipBuster) that the nr of free messages is limited.
That's weird because after many unsuccessful attempts with voipsms I can send sms normally via the pc application. So the problem is not the limit (even if there is a limit). I will buy credits and test it again. Thank's anyway

Ok thanks for your information. I'll try to find some more information about it. Unfortunately there is not a lot of information available on the internet.
On this forum there's another tool which enables you to send messages using VoipBuster/Raider. Could you try if that application has the same 'issues'? It has more features and support for more Voip Applications.

You mean ipsms by skandler? I have already tried this application. In this application I get the error code "invalid username" when I try to send sms via voipraider. I am sure that the username is correct so I can't send messages from there either. In general with voipraider weird things happen with all the applications that I have tried.
That's weird because it's just a VoipBuster 'clone'
I've dropped a question at Skandler's thread. Hopefully he can tell me a little bit more.
Sipgate
Hi folks,
Are there any plan to make VoipSMS compatible with Sipgate. I've got an account with them and I'd rather avoid registering with multiple providers.
Their API is already out but I cannot make it work.
Cheers
mcapri
doesn't work
I have installed VoipSMS1.1, but it doesn't do anything (the program doesn't start). Do I need the .NET Compact Framework for it? My PDA is an IPAQ 6300.
Thank you.

Two way synchronization
Usage statistics
Requirements:
Windows Mobile Pro 5 - 6.5
.Net 3.5
Why I wrote this program:
I’m using an alternative OS and I also often get different iCal Files with important appointments (from friends, university, work). So before I wrote the program I had to import the iCal files to different programs (e.g. Outlook, Evolution and so on) to get it synced. I also always had to import my personal calendar to Outlook or so because I use rainledar for my own appointments. Because I think that this is not the best way for handling this I wrote iCalParse. With this program I can simply import iCal files direct on my phone.
To import calendars available on the Internet
To import a calendar which is available over the Internet just download and install the new app version. Then start it go to the others tab (the OT button on the bottom) and then press the "config webIcals" button. Then press the "new Web Ical Source" button. Add the user name and password if there is any and then the url where to find the calendar. Then select the protocol. Use http if it available over http/https/webcal/webcals. The autosync period number is important for the autosync option. If the number is 0 the webical will never be synced with the autosync. If it is 1 it will be synced every autosync, if it is 2 every second sync, 3 every third and so on. Then click the save button. Now you have to tell the app that you want to download calendar informations over the intertnet. So you have to activate the "Load from the web" option at the Options tab (The Op button)
Afterwards you can parse/load and import the calendar like normal by just pressing the Parse button and then the import button at the Action tab. Or you can use the autosync feature.
To Use CALDAV for two way synchronization
Often web calendars support CALDAV. CALDAV is a open protocol to sync calendar information in both ways (server to phone and phone to server). To use CALDAV your CALENDAR must support it. Then start it go to the others tab (the OT button on the bottom) and then press the "config webIcals" button. Add the user name and password if there is any and then the url where to find the calendar. Then select the protocol. Use caldav if it available over CALDAV. Important is that there has to be a single slash (/) at the end of the url. Then click the save button. Now you have to tell the app that you want to download calendar informations over the intertnet. So you have to activate the "Load from the web" option at the Options tab (The Op button). And you have to tell the app that you want to sync from the phone to server not only from the server to the phone so that you have to active the "Use two way caldav sync" option.
Afterwards you can parse/load and import the calendar like normal by just pressing the Parse button and then the import button at the Action tab. Or you can use the autosync feature. During the parse operation (parse button) the changes on the device will be synced to the server if the "use two way caldav sync" option is enabled.
The CALDAV feature was confirmed to work with:
Google calendar
hint:
The url for your google calendar has the following format [ https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/ [ your Google Calendar ID ] /events/ ].
Your Google Calendar ID for your primary calendar is just your email address, but for all other calendars the Calendar ID will be in the form of [ long string of characters]@group.calendar.google.com. You can get the Calendar ID by clicking the down arrow next to your calendar at calendar.google.com and selecting 'Calendar Settings'.
Be sure to use https in your URL, as an http address will not work.
DAViCal (http://www.davical.org/)
hint:
The url for your DAViCal calendar has the following format [ https://[yourDomain]/caldav.php/cal...sabredav/"]http://code.google.com/p/sabredav/)
hint:
The url for your sabredav calendar has the following format [ http://[yourDomain]/sabredav/calend.../web.utanet.at/bohmerau/winmopage/"]iCalParse[/U][/B]

hey
tried using it on my diamond2.
the import of an ical went well, and the appointments were succesfull.
but I cant see the appointments in my calendar.
I have a 2h offset. This item should start at 3:30am. After importing, it shows the start at 01:30. Maybe the timezones are not considered here.

thanks for your reply. can you please give me a example ical appointment so i can test it here (like tube did it)?
I uninstalled it, and installed oggsynch instead.
How do I remove the sipchange error, which pops up every time I reset?
ill try to test ur stuff out at a later build.. thnx for ur hard work
A new Version (0.5.0) is now availiable at the link in the first post. It supports now one timezone for the whole ical file. this should also solve tubes problem.
Thanks, but now the application crashes while reading the ics. I guess it could have something to do with having HTML in the body.

no its not because of the html. its because of some strange/unclear definitions in the ical standard. i tested it with this file which should be similar to your file and fixed the problems.
A new version (0.5.1) is now availiable with some improvements for MS outlook compatibility.

is this outlook 2003?
should work with the new version 0.5.2.
Yes, it is Outlook 2003.
Now the import works, but I still got the timezone problem with this one.
Appointment in Outlook: 06:00 - 17:00
Imported appointment: 04:00 - 15:00
Edit:
I did some tests with Outlook 2007 with importing an ics which contains a whole day. Time Zone issue is considered somehow: the start time is correct there, but the end time is +2h in every item.
Also I get the string "LANGUAGE=de:" in front of every subject line.
i changed the way the timezones are handled and fixed the problem with the LANGUAGE=de with the new version 0.5.3.
Seems to be still 0.5.2 on your server
Would there be a possibility to add an option to delete all calendar entries? This would make testing easier because windows mobile does not offer this option.

now is the realy the new one. sorry.
do you mean deleting all appointments without adding new ones?
LANGUAGE=de is fixed, thanx.
The timezone problem still persists:
Appointment in Outlook: 06:00 - 17:00
Imported appointment: 04:00 - 15:00
> do you mean deleting all appointments without adding new ones?
Yes, exactly!
Very useful... with some improvements waited
excellent and very useful program!
now I have only 2 problems, and by priority:
* all my appointements have 2 hours difference... I think its because of summertime in france (gmt+2)... could it be possible to have a choice before importing and after parsing to adjust the gmt+x ???
would be perfect with that... for exemple, just a 2 keys "+" or "-" to adjust the x from the GMT...
* also problem with utf8 or ascii characters... special ones are replaced by "?" ... the same option as above (to choose the character encoding format before import) would be very nice...
Thanks for you useful tool!
a new version (0.5.4) ist now availiable.

1) m i right that you tested with a ical file from outlook 2003? this should work also now. if not please take a quick look athe the beginning of the ical file and check if there is something similar to this
Code:
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE

DTSTART:16010101T020000

1) please also check your icl file for the timezone which should be specified at the beginning like i told tube.
2) yeah it should be possible to find a solution. would you be so nice to post some faulty characters here? thx

1) in fact I haven't specified it, and as I have all corrected by hand now (70 appointments) I have not really the time to test again... sorry... But to add another thing I have seen is that the hour difference was of 2 hours at the begining, and 1 hour at the end of my export, which looks normal as it is winter time... does your program makes the difference for winter/summertime? If not this should be also an option to tick ON/OFF, because depending on your ics file it could be managed in different manners...
2) I have just checked my ics file and this is not your program fault but my own source which does not code correctly the characters like é, è, à, ...etc...
so thanks again for your program and I will check new version

if the timezones are specified correctly in the icl file it will also calculate correct times for winter/summertime
What's the application about:
This application finds your location via GPS (provided you have an internal or external GPS).
Then you have the option to:
1. Send an SMS
2. Send an Email
3. Create a Note
4. Send to Clipboard
your location as just plain coordinates (40.089821,22.567634) (can be copied to maps.google.com search field)
or better as a Google Maps Link (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&t=m&q=40.089821,22.567634)
or (New) as a Google Maps Mobile Link (http://www.google.com/gmm/x?action=BUSI&q=LAT,LONG).
5. (New) Scheduled SMS, Email sending or Http request on defined time interval.
The persons who receive your SMS or Email can click on the google maps link and they will directly see your location on google maps.
You can use Pocket Outlook or Flexmail as your email sending app. You can choose the account that will be used and you can a default recipient.
When sending the email you will be prompted to add a recipient. The default recipient you have set up will be proposed. You can change it or browse through your contacts to choose another email.
You can keep a note with your current location and add your own notes. Date and time automatically added in the note.
You can copy the location to the clipboard and paste it anywhere you want or you can just phone someone and tell him your location.
To setup a http request, for example http://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.000000,24.000000
then you would write in the settings http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%lat%,%long%
So if you're still on vacation why not send your location to your friends!!!
Version 1.2 beta 3 What's new (14/12/2009)
1. Fixed the scheduled http function
2. SMS 140 chars. There is a choice in the settings to send a cut SMS version that is around 137 to 140 chars.
Version 1.2 beta 1 What's new (23/11/2009)
1. Scheduled SMS, Email sending or Http request on defined time interval. Each of them can be enabled separately and have its own time interval.
2. Google Maps Mobile Link. You can choose to send a Google Maps Mobile Link by SMS. This links open only from a mobile device and cannot be opened from a desktop pc. So you should be careful when sending this type of link. If you are not sure if the other party can open this link than better send a Google Maps desktop link. (http://www.google.com/gmm/x?action=BUSI&q=LAT,LONG)
3. Send without editing. For both SMS and Email you have the option to send them without first editing them. The SMS program and email program will not open but they will be sent in the background.
4. Send without poping up Contact Screen. For both SMS and Email you have the option to send them without the Choose Contact screen opening. You have to set a predefined Recipient in the Settings.
5. Many internal changed to allow the scheduled SMS, Email and Http function be implemented.
Version 1.1a What's new (11/09/2009)
When you use "Microsoft Intermediate GPS Driver" and you press disconnect the app now closes the GPS. In v1.1 you should exit the program to close GPS.
Version 1.1 What's new (08/09/2009)
1. GPS Data. The app now uses "Microsoft Intermediate GPS Driver" to get the gps data. It's the default option. Works perfect, not laggy anymore. Should solve the problems some of you had connecting to GPS. For older devices (wm 2003) which don't support the driver, you can use the old method with the serial port. Choose it from the options.
2. SMS. Added Date and Time in the message when sending SMS
3. Email with Pocket Outlook. You can now edit the email before sending it. The option to send it without editing it, remains but you have to choose it in the options.
Things I have in mind to do next
1. Some graphics improvements for vga devices. (it's developed on my qvga)
2. Look if can get the pic from google maps and send it as MMS or Mail Attachment
Known Issues:
v1.0
When moving fast (in a car) then your location shown is about 5 seconds back. So when you stop somewhere it keeps refreshing till it reaches your current position. It takes about 5 secs (solved on v1.1).
Installation:
Just install the cab on the device or storage card. When upgrading then you have to install the app on the same location to keep the settings OR copy the settings.txt file to your new location.
Donation:
Anybody finds this app useful and would like to donate, you can do it through this paypal account:
reserved for future use (updates, etc.)
excellent man, thank you, i was waiting for an application like this for a long time....
Great App !
Now, if you do a better graphics, it will become a beautiful app
Awesome app! Cheers.
How about another option where it sends it as an MMS. You could make it open google maps on the phone, take a screen shot of the location then send the image via mms.
That would be sweeeet.
great app. +1 to the mms idea
This sounds Great. Would it be possible to use this as a phone finding tool?
Coool Application.Iphone like
Good and Great
A great we have this in our mobile it very improtant --so it sound good application --thank you
Can you make it send a .kml file as an email attachment? Then, as long as the recipient has google maps, opening the attachment will launch google maps with the location marked.
This works great on my T-Mobile USA Touch Pro 2, stock ROM, a very useful application. Thank you highway!
does what you say..
Tested on my BLACKSTONE (hd ,stock rom ) ,working very smooth..yeah..
does what you say (sms, etc..)
Bit unsure ,when i clicked on "connect " (to gps ) if it was in fact trying to ( would it not be good to have some form of indicator ,that it is ? )..,but hey very impressed..
thank you
Nice app and feature at pocketnow.com! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549517
Very nice! Thank you!
Wraios file mou
Works OK on my Sprint Touch Pro but ...
When you send an email, it puts the completed email in the outbox where it is sent automatically giving you no chance to edit the email. Other apps that send email open the email program with the mail composed allowing you to edit the outgoing email. Apparently the author has his email configured to not send email automatically.
Hi,
it is possible send position as Google Maps (PPC Version) favorite?
Open the coordinates without browser, but directly with Google Maps.

BTW, works great on my French Touch Pro 2, stock ROM.
Highway - Good job ! it is a very useful application.
One small issue :
2nd settings page doesn't allow to choose Pocket Outlook main email account - the one sync'ed with ActiveSync / OTA.
It shows POP & IMAP email accounts but not the activesync one (I want to use to send the email with your app).
Thanks.
Please read these 5 ideas I have and then make a vote to the app you would love to use the most and would most likely donate towards serious (and opensource!) development. If you are unclear about anything, please ask before voting! Thanks.
1. Better FaceBook Sync - like BookSync, but instead of being restricted to Facebook's ToS it would use the html interface to additionally sync these infos:
* Sync all friends photos with captions tags and comments for offline browsing.
* Phone numbers
* Email addresses (yes, I am aware it's a .gif)
* Addresses
* Facebook Events (and Friends' events)
* as well as profile pics (high res), date of birth (for birthday reminders), name (girls who marry update on your phone instantly)
* option to only silently sync when using wifi (and of course, only updates get pulled down)
2. Better Lock - replace the default WM 6.x security lock feature where you enter a PIN every 24 hours or so, with a much more friendly AND more secure version:
* Incremental Challenge/Response: Have your PIN as 8 or so digits but every 12 hours or so (configurable) it will ask for just 1 digit ("Enter the 4th digit of your PIN"). Enter it wrong and it'll ask for 2 digits now. Wrong again.. 4 digits and so on. Additionally, every 24 hours or so, ask for extra digit.
* While locked, allow for basic functions such as wifi on/off, email/text/call anyone already in address book, turn device off, allow reading of texts that contain a magic password (so owner can communicate with "thief").
* Button to show owner info (incase it's lost) with sub-button to call owners emergency contact number
* 3 invalid attempts = phone texts and calls emergency number and/or integrates with RemoteTracker
3. Better Marketplace - like Microsoft Marketplace and AppToDate merged with improvements
* Microsoft Marketplace requires each dev to upload and maintain thier app (never gonna happen with 100% esp abandoned but still useful apps)
* AppToDate is abandoned? Last update 2008..
* Allow free software only!!!!
* Allow trusted mods to upload apps on behalf of devs, making this BetterMarketplace very comprehensive
* UC compatible & allowing user to record installed apps to our server so after hard reset you can enter user/pass and automagically get all your favourite apps installed
* Compatibility Matrix: only apps that work on your phone are displayed (eg, qvga/vga and wm5/wm6 and so on)
* Popularity Contest: rank apps based on usage in total minutes. This way, only the truly useful apps get to top of list
* Install via web.. using your user account, you can click to install from the Web interface... and your ppc will amazingly start to install it! ppc application interface will exist too ofc.
4. Mobile Proxy - a http proxy on your phone that modifies your web experience via plugins ideas such as:
* Google Maps Mobile - allow supercaching.. which means remember map segments forever on SD card. Perhaps even precaching your area.
* Windows Live Messenger - allow use of MSN when offline. I often turn my phone on/off often and drives friends insane as they see me go offline..online..offline..online. To solve this, this proxy plugin could re-route MSN protocol via our desktop computer so that a) we can sign into multiple locations, something the ppc app doesnt support yet and b) we can receive and view messages we missed while ppc was offline, same for sending msgs could be queued.
* Ad blocker, flash blocker, javascript blocker
* Send custom headers to custom http servers (to fake/force mobile or desktop view per site)
5. Email Redefined - not too sure about my competence to pull this one off though.
Instead of receiving a torrent of email to my device, half of which I don't care about, separate emails into 3 distinct channels:-
1. General crap. When received has no notification, not even a number next to the titanium email plugin.
2. From humans not in my address book. New senders get an instant reply asking them to complete a captcha if they want my mobile to buzz.
3. From friends who are in my address book. I would get a sound played, much like a 'new SMS' sound, and titanium would show "1" next to email.
* If possible with Mobile Outlook, treat facebook inbox-messages as emails.. so buzz, play a sound, and allow reply (via fb).
* If possible (might cost the user), add email push facility whereby the phone receives a hidden SMS text when you have a new email worthy of a beep/buzz, wakes up (but with screen still off and device locked), connects to data (wifi/3g, as configured), gets the email, then beeps/buzzes.
Better Facebook and Marketplace definitely! Those are a must!
Can't decide between Marketplace and Proxy. I LOVE your ideas for marketplace, but I've been wanting to sign into multiple locations since I've had IM on my phone. I hardly ever sign into my IM's because of it. I think I'm going with Marketplace with Proxy being a close second.
Bump (1 of 2).
It would be useful if some of you could post a reply like the above 2 people did too.. as it seems voting in a poll does not bump this thread.. (a forum bug imho). Also useful if anyone can point out competition (free or payware) to each and any of my ideas, unless already mentioned. Thanks!

Hello everybody
This is my first post so I'm stressed a bit
Some times ago I had the Android OS on my Kaiser. There was the simple app called CallTrack. This little app can send your call history to selected Google Calendar. I searched similar app for Windows Mobile and I didn't find any, so I decided to make my own solution. That was the beginning of Google Calendar Call Logger. This simple app does the same as CallTrack.
Main features:
- Storing Google login (email) and password (both encrypted with simple algorythm)
- Retrieving and storing calendars from Google account (links for calendars are encrypted too)
- Automatic loading call history to main screen
- Updating Google calendar with new call history's items
The last function is most interesting. GC Call Logger retrieves all your log items stored in phone and shows them on main screen. For each of them GC checks if it exists in destination calendar and sends them if it not, so there are no duplicates.
I use the Google API to communicate with Google servers. This API contains several libraries, that must be in the same folder with main exe file (libraries are included in CAB installer).
[Updates]
8-07-2010 - initial version (1.0)
[Bugs]
- Incompatible with landscape mode (it will be added in next version (I hope )
- no exe icon (I was to lazy to made some )
- probably compatible only with QVGA devices (of course that is no problem if somebody likes scrollers )
- strange selection of active calendar (don't set as active more calendars as once, app allow it but only first will be synchronized).
- too slow
My first contact with this API was 2 days ago, so there are more bugs, I think. Don't hestitate to tell me about them.
[System requirements]
- Windows Mobile 5.0 and more (compiled for 5.0 but tested on 6.5)
- .NET CF 3.5
- QVGA device
- about 330KB free storage space
- internet connection
App is free. It can be installed on Storage Card or in main memory.
Perfect, perfect idea! Im looking for this app for long time!
LolaLaterList, my first mobile application, is a simple ReadItLater application.
LolaLaterList-0.3.1 (17.10.2011) solves problem with SSL certificate - http://support.readitlaterlist.com/discussions/problems/1731-certificate-error. If you get the error, you should enter settings and there within Connection tab enable alternative server.
Current full feature list:
1) download unread/archive page list saved to RIL profile (also automatically)
2) open page using many browsers: Opera Mini/Mobile, UC Browser, IE Mobile, uZard Web, Netfront, Iris Browser, Dorothy Browser, system default browser
3) mark page as read
4) send read pages back to RIL server (also automatically)
5) search through local page list (with multiple criteria)
6) pages can be saved locally Currently it is very basic and only HTML file is saved (but still it is fine for pages I read most often)
7) add page to RIL feature (incl. tags)
My plan for 0.3.0 version was to implement complete page saving, but again I have changed my plans and this version brings another feature set. Page saving should be in place when LolaLaterList-0.4.0 arrives, unless there is another feature more needed .
I have noticed that my app somehow spread to several pages with WinMo software. I do not mind, but please do always refer to this thread.
Application usage should be quite straightforward - run application, on settings screen give/paste you RIL account credentials, paths to browsers you like (take into account that not all browsers can open locally saved pages) and then just sync. Page can be open/marked/downloaded from context menu available for each item on list. While downloading page is marked with asterisk, when downloaded it is marked with # sign. Page added locally is marked with plus sign.
LolaLaterList-0.3.0 (30.08.2011) brings following changes to LolaLaterList-0.2.1:
1) multiple criteria search (incl. tags)
2) archive tab. Archive list is downloaded every time from the very begining and is not saved locally.
3) support for system default browser
4) page added locally can be edited before sending
5) a few bugfixes related to HTTP communication
LolaLaterList-0.2.1 (13.07.2011) brings following changes to LolaLaterList-0.2.0
1) details screen (incl. tags)
2) communication with RIL server uses now POST method instead of GET and it lets adding more than dozen pages at single synchronization (sort of bug fix)
3) additional option for autosync added - now it can be done also when page is open in browser
Final LolaLaterList-0.2.0 (10.06.2011) brings following changes to beta1:
1) NetFront, Iris, Dorothy added. Thats all browsers I have found. If you know any other browsers, please let me know.
2) settings screen rearranged
3) paste function for all text fields
4) full synchronization added (in case of any inconsistencies with RIL)
5) http:// is added as a default protocol for new pages
6) minor bugs fixed
LolaLaterList-0.2.0-beta1 (26.05.2011) changes:
1) add page to RIL feature
2) uZard Web added
3) basic mime-types handling added for downloads
LolaLaterList-0.1.9 (17.05.2011) changes:
1) next bugs fixed
2) IE Mobile added (I missed it earlier due to some misconfiguration on my device)
3) upgrade of this version should keep config/list in place (but upgrade to this version will clean your settings, so once again you should backup it).
4) pages can be saved locally. Currently it is very basic and only HTML file is saved (but still it is fine for pages I read most often)
LolaLaterList-0.1.1 (05.05.2011) changes:
1) several bugfixes
2) UC Browser added
3) search on Enter
Painless upgrade path was not established yet - configuration was erased during update. So it was wise to backup LolaLaterList.config and LolaLaterList.txt before update to 0.1.1.
LolaLaterList-0.1.0 (02.05.2011) features:
1) download page list saved to RIL profile
2) open page using Opera Mini/Mobile
3) mark page as read
4) send read pages back to RIL server
5) search through local page list
Application uses plain .NET CF 3.5.
My plans for its future:
- save whole pages
- use IE/Opera Mobile cookies to access pages, which requires sign-up
- simple RSS client with possibility of adding page to RIL list
- page details edition
- support for locally saved page dir (e.g. saved page from Opera Mobile)
- operations (mark as read, download, etc) available on multiple items
- translations
- page list with text wrapping
- autodetection of browser paths
- sign up

looks nice, I will try it.
Thank you !
Thanks,
If you manage to add the function to add new pages, I will certainly use it, and donate (remember me if I forget...).

If you need it more than saving pages, I will be pleased to implement it before page saving.
My concept is that it could happen via clipboard. URL you want to add is copied into clipboard (Opera Mobile provides copy option for links), then within LolaLaterList option 'Add page' shows form, where URL field is prefilled with the URL from clipboard. Would it be fine for you, or is there other (simpler?) way you would like to do it?

Well, to clear things up: I mean adding an URL to read-it-later list. The easiest way would be to be able to shake-and-add in Opera. But I guess this is quite complicated? Copy and pasting via clipboard is acceptable as well.

Yes, adding an URL to read-it-later list is a feature I am thinking about .
As I can imagine when it comes to shake-and-add in Opera, the hardest thing will be to obtain URL of displayed page. Lets stay with clipboard for now .
Since one of concepts behind my app is that it does not connect to RIL without direct action from user (sync), page added to list will be sent to RIL server during synchronisation.

Ł.O.
That's alright, maybe you can add auto sync after adding an URL (this saves one extra action to do ).

Please take a look at LolaLaterList-0.2.0-beta1 .
Small hint - after LolaLaterList-0.2.0-beta1 is run and closed, you can change default setting for autosync with editing LolaLaterList.config and changing addition_autosync setting to 'True'. In final 0.2.0 version it will be available within Settings screen.
Regards,
Ł.O.
Beta version works alright. I'm using it for some hours now. Will get back with more feedback for sure.
It is working great, no bugs so far.
Two things I would like to see still:
- Auto-sync settings in options
- Auto-add http:// if forgotten, I get an error everytime I forget, and have to add manually.
Could you manage those things still?

Please take a look at final 0.2.0 version. It should contain these two features.

Up thread - s it allowed
I have not found such information - is it allowed to "up" threads when new version arrives?
Regards,
Ł.O.
And again "thread up" with new version. I believe that with 60 downloads of previous version there might be several people interested with it .
