Hi,
this is the first release of my first own app for a pocketpc. It's completely written in VC# and should work on all devices up from WM5 with QVGA and VGA screen. I'm a totaly noob in writing or coding apps, but maybe you like it.
The app uses the weather feed from yahoo (or weather.com). When you run iWeather, you need to connect to the internet. Same for the Settings.exe.
How to:
======
1. Run iWeather
2. press "i"-button on the lower right corner to open Settings
3. enter your LocationID
4. wait until the city name appears (IMPORTANT!)
5. press Done-Button
IMPORTANT! It is nessessary to be online at the first use!
Things to do:
==========
- adding more than one location
- maybe integrating settings into iWeather
- maybe different language support
- ...
v0.3
===
- VGA support
- signal bug removed
- battery-bug (finally) removed
- main icon shows now current weather icon
- pressing "i"-button opens the settings
- pressing main icon updates the weather
- removing minor bug in settings.exe
v0.2
===
- Battery-Bug removed
- Settings will work without pushing "Enter", just wait until validating has finished and press "Done"
- iWeather now caches the last update, so you don't have to stay online the whole time
- refresh iWeather by tapping on the signal-strength in the upper left corner
- still no VGA support, sorry
v0.1
===
- first release
- only one city-weather is possible
- search in Settings.exe only writes the LocationID (e.g. USNY0996) and the displayed unit into the city.xml (you can find your LocationID at http://weather.yahoo.com )
- Settings.exe gives as validation the city-name to the entered LocationID.
- it's not possible to start settings from iWeather
- iWeather will automaticaly start, after pushing "done"-button in Settings.
- background-image and icons will change after sunset or sunrise of the selected location
- both apps can be closed by pushing the battery on the upper right corner

Reinstalled cab and it is working now.
Looks very good. Great work.
I got the same error message. What I did was I typed in the weather code and hit return on the keyboard. It found the city and works perfect. And I mean, PERFECT! I can't believe this is a 0.1. Outside of more cities, I don't think you can improve much on this. Thank you, thank you.
okay thank you for this application, i know its first version but just some thoughts and feedback from me:
1. settings is confusing (dont`know what button to press and to press return after writing in the citycode), but after trying different times it works.
2. while testing, i realised its a online weather app, but here is the Problem, although i have a 3G net and phone, my phone must build up a internet connection first and then download the data. So i tested it an it needs 9 till 16 (!) seconds to see the forecast. With active sync 10 Seconds. So this is the major Problem because this lasts too long. I think timebased downloading in background would be better in this case.
3. Batterysymbol for closing is too small for my fat fingers, maybe you can enlarge the sensitive area around the battery.
Is their any chance of swapping Cities ie having more than one that you can flick to or just select, Loving it though well done can't wait for the next instalment Keep up the good work

Really good job, especially with an initial release. Any chance of seeing a detailed forcast when clicking on a day. This is more important for me than multiple cities. Awesome job even if it's not possible.
Hi - Polaris WM6.1 latest official rom.
Got the attached error though I thought I had the latest version .NET.
Also think there is a conflict between device settings and iWeather settings as cannot open device settings any more even after deleting iWeather and soft reset.
Please help.
Thanks
EDIT: Can't completely delete iWeather there are some files I can't trace somewhere.

This is the original Link to a working TouchFlo (Alpha) I am currently testing on the Athena using VGA 96 DPI and the AP/PK's latest v2.0. I have included a zip folder of selected screen shots. I first found this link outside the forum, then learned that other devices on the forum are already working with it.
The program is installed via two CAB files, one installs Adobe FlashLite, the other is Szabi CubeLauncher. Perform a soft reset after loading. Launching is currently to a 'Home Screen' Start>Programs>CubeLaunch. The home background is a bit suggestive, so if you would like to avoid that image, copy the attached bg.jpg to Program Files>Szabi>CubeLauncher and over write the existing file. It can be any 240x320 jpg you prefer.
When you install the CubeLauncher, you also get a CubeConfig program which lets you customize any of the 5 faces of the 'Cube' which is relally a 5-sided prism or polyhedron. Screen shots of each face are included along with one transitional rotation captured.
TouchFlo has been on of the hottest topics around the forum with nearly every device scrambling to cook it into ROMS. Up to now, cooking was necessary as the base applications from the HTC Touch are dll driven. Since this application is Flash(tm) enabled, there is no need for booting with the dll's.
Launching from the home screen is much like the HTC Touch, with an UPWARDS swipe of the finger from the bottom or middle part of the screen. Sides are rotated forward and back with sideways swipes as you would intuitively expect. You can also open and close the cube with a single stylus poke in the bottom center of the screen. Close from the home screen by touching the lower right signal bar.
The first page is a 6 application program launcher followed by a twelve slot phone contacts photo gallery on page two. Page three is a 6 app media page while page four is primarily for MS Office Apps. Page five is yours to play with.
The developer's web site is in Chinese, but the translation indicates that trials of the demo and feedback are welcomed. You can download the demo at the following Link: Http://rapidshare.com/files/54065589/Szabi-CubeLauncherICON.rar
It is not a finished work (yet) but it is getting close. Please provide your thoughts and interest so the the Project Team can assess wether or not to work on this for our devices. As you will see, we can easily do more with VGA quality backgrounds and icons, but the basics are definitely there.
Kind Regards to the Developer
guau! looks very nice! thanks bro!!!!
Nice find...
Hi raskell.
Excellent find! We'll look into this...for sure.

Did you try?
I would like if it is compatible with ROM Black Touch AP2
If you need not change the dpi i am all up for it!
would someone be super kind and put on a direct link or something else than rapid share, coz i can't use that from my company
Installed on my X7500 WM6 ITA with 96dpi setting, here they are my considerations:
1. Graphic should be improved with an appropriate resolution of images used to build the interface. (I hope I can do it by maself)
2. Scrolling works well even if touching feedback should be more reactive on striping finger over display
3. Not all the applications link work. I hope I can customize by myself
4. Home screen works fine, images resolution apart.
Nothing I can say about RAM and battery usage...still testing it.

Tested with 128 DPI Settings and it looks and works the same, regardless of the font. Some of the demo apps are not set to the correct file links, however using the CubeConfig module, this is easily corrected. I just went through each screen and tested what worked an what didn't, then ran the CubeConfig and changed the broken links. Again, this is an (Alpha Demo) but it is working!
Bother! Was hoping you would say it didn't work
I really should know better than to install beta software, let alone alpha!
Can I resist trying it......
probably not !
Thanks

Works great on my P4300 (Wizard) with WM6.1 The only thing it is missing is support for storage cards. I can select where I save the files, but all options are on the device. I am a Linux user so this requires an extra step to copy them to the SD card so I can mount it and pull them off. Other than that, it is a great app!
Looks great, but do I need to extract this zip file from a PC? When I try & unzip it from my Tilt (using Resco File Explore '07) it says "Nothing to extract. Selection does not contain any files".
Thanks.

I used built-in compression in Vista to create the zip so maybe that is the problem. You can unzip on the PC and copy to your Tilt.

@ oldsap
I cannot use a listbox on smartphones so not sure how I would implement the task list option. However, I would be glad to do a smartphone version if there is enough people that would use it.
@ Moe5508
Thanks for the kind words.
@ All
I'll have a new version next week that includes Storage cards for the Save folder. In the meantime, note that the box that has the Save folder is open to typing also. You can type a path there without using the browse feature. That should be a temporary fix to allow you to save your captures anywhere on the device.

Post #1 is updated with a new version that supports Storage Cards. I had to do this by brute force. My library woudl only return network folders so to get a storage card to appear in the folder browse it must have a name that starts with Storage Card. That should be the default anyway.
Hope it works for you.
Just tested it out and it works GREAT!! Thanks again for a wonderful app!!

--edit--
Does the camera really work? The older version seemed fine but wouldnt take pictures.
Whats the adviced radio to use?
Has the same BT issue (will not disconnect once connected to a BT source), the last Lilly and BD ROM's had which is so annoying, only solution is the soft reset the device, switching BT on/off does nothing
BUT otherwise the ROM is pretty awesome, is VERY quick and responsive.
Camera works. But many thinks didn't work.
-The hardware keyboard didn't work correctly. (Wrong letters, 20key nike)
- Headset connection over bluetooth aren't disconnect correctly. I must always make a restart to use the phone normaly.
- Graphic glitches by using the "Phone Keypad"
That's all for the moment.
For a beta, is it a good stable and fast ROM.
Same prob here with 20 keys niki... Keyboard not working correctly...
Any way you could release or point us to the correct cab for the camera only?
Pretty please?
Sorry for offtop and my bad english, but where can i find a cab or something else of calendar like this.
Okay
Looks pretty awesome downloading right now and flashing it in t minus 1 minute. (that last sys from Niki rom kitchen didn't do it for me)
Will be back with my findings tommorow.

There are many task managers floating around out there, with lots of neat features and great UIs. I've been looking for a good replacement for the HTC Task Manager home screen button that no longer works properly in Windows Mobile 6.5.x, and I've been unable to find one I really like.

ArkSwitch can be opened from any screen that has the top bar visible - I tried to make it simple yet unobtrusive.
You can click the text of an app to bring it to the foreground, click the icon to view the App Info screen, or click the "X" image to close it.
Please see the changelog in the second post.
Important info for chefs and customizers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8002276&postcount=733
And a quick CAB to disable the Close All confirmation dialog.
I ASK FOR YOUR HELP:
If you are using ArkSwitch in your ROM, please post a message here telling me so. I would really like to know. Also, if you make themes, please post them here for everyone else to enjoy. I would appreciate that.
Also, if you're a developer and would like to help with implementing any features, I'd be glad to accept your patches, changesets, etc.
HOW TO USE:
1. Install the CAB.
2. Either reboot (it will run on startup) or start it from the start menu --> Tools.
3. Click the left half of the top bar (or other area if customized) to bring it up.
CUSTOM THEMES:
SimpleGloss Blue | Dusk | NinjaBlack | Purple Pimp | SRG | Hacienda | Showtime7
Why doesn't ArkSwitch show process memory information anymore? Read the answer here.
Historical notes:
v1.0.0 --> 350
v1.0.1 --> 1700
v1.0.2 --> 2739
v1.0.3 --> 1582

- CHG: gwes.exe and shell32.exe are now hard-excluded (i.e., not a choice)
- CHG: Close Task button is now Close All
- ADD: Manila to default exclusion list
- ADD: Options screen
- ADD: Color-coded free/total RAM info on the bottom
- ADD: Read app icons from start menu (caveat)
[v1.0.1]
- FIX: Resize icons that are too big
- FIX: Always open ArkSwitch when executed after it's already running
- ADD: App details screen
- ADD: Exclusion functionality
- ADD: Standard app mode (see below)
[v1.0.0]
- Original version
TODO/WISH LIST FOR FUTURE VERSIONS:
Possibly add Alt-Tab-like functionality for switching to other apps using a HW button
Add free or used RAM percentage, in parentheses or configurable
Possibly take over X button to close apps instead of minimizing? Maybe even the start button?
As possible alternative to the above, have second activation field that kills foreground apps
Prevent ArkSwitch from turning on when device is locked
Possibly add an icon bar for common tasks on top?
Suggestions?
WILL NOT LIKELY HAPPEN:
Making ArkSwitch into a service - it's pointless - see this post
WM6.5 compatibility mode:
In case you don't want ArkSwitch to take over your top bar, you can disable that functionality and thereby have it function as a standard app. In this mode, the original WM6.5 should also be fully functional. To enable this mode, either do it in the Options screen, or manually set the following Registry value:
[HKCU\Software\ARKconcepts\ArkSwitch]
TaskbarTakeover = 0 (DWORD)
Thanks Ark
Great Work
Can I use program with soft-buttons? And can i remove it from bar? Because i'm using WKTask at same plañe?
P.S. Òû ðóññêèé?
Yes, you can use the program with softkeys. You can select apps by using the D-Pad and then the left softkey to close it or the right softkey to open a menu which will let you switch to it, close it, view the about screen, or quit ArkSwitch.
The only way to "remove" ArkSwitch from the top bar is to close it. One of the main reasons I chose the top bar is ease of access. If something else goes there, then this app can't be accessed easily anymore. I've never used WkTask, but from what I'm reading about it, it looks like the two apps would be incompatible with each other, sorry
P.S. I speak Russian as I'm originally from Ukraine. Please don't use CP1251 for Russian encoding, US browsers don't like it Unicode is better.
looks great! but QVGA please ??
Rows were overlapping eachother.
The the program crashed when I chose exit from the menu and I was forced to soft-reset.

I was wrong in my question. Can I put the launch ArkSwitch on softkey?
(My english very bad, isn't it?)
working good
so far so good on my Whitestone (Imagio) 6.5
1. question- is my regular taskmanager (upper most right hand corner) still supposed to function? bc i loose the little icon and get no response from pressing there. wasn't sure from your description if they both were supposed to function at the same time.
2. my device is wvga and i did not have overlap issues like a previous post.
3. the x's all work good and switching between apps works good.
4. pressing softkey\menu\quit arkswitch exits the program and it has to be restarted. "X"ing the upper right minimizes? is that correct?
5. oh yeah- and touching the upper left is working good to open ArkSwitch.
6. Thank you. I have been looking for a simple solution for a finger friendly task manager.
Really quick program, working pretty good!
I do have 2 requests though, which would make it perfect
I am on a 6.5.3 wvga device and I have some icons overlapping the text... maybe you can crop/stretch all icons to a specific size?
and another request, could you implement a way to exclude processes from showing in arkswitch? like start.exe etc?
Really well done so far!

point the button towards \..\program files\arkswitch\arkswitch.exe that works for me.
EDIT: well, the button doesn't work all the time, I think it has something to do with what program is in focus or something...
guess that adds a 3rd request... sorry to a pain in the ass
Possible X of windows mobile (down right) = close ?
Nice work ! Thanks Arktronic.

I still have my old Hermes. When I have a chance, I'll flash a WM6.5.x ROM on it and get that working. It's on the TODO list

Obviously you didn't read my first two posts. This application is NOT for the original WM6.5! Only for 6.5.x, where the start and X keys are on the bottom of the screen. However, if you'd like to use it as a regular task manager started by a hardware button or something similar, that could be done in the future through an options screen, which is also on the list.

1. ArkSwitch does not touch the right half of the taskbar at all. I'm not sure which task manager you're using, though.
2. Right, because you're actually using WM6.5.x as opposed to toadlife...
3. Great, that means I can say WVGA works!
4. Correct. Would you like me to add an "Are you sure?" dialog when quitting?
5. Yay!
6. You're welcome

Hmm, I guess if an icon is bigger than I tested with, it would overlap. I'll add that to the list. Can you give me an example of which app(s) had overlapping icons please?
Excluding processes is already on the TODO list.
Yeah, starting the program multiple times doesn't always bring it to the front. You have to have opened the ArkSwitch window at least once before it could do that. I'm not sure why that's happening; I'll look into it some more. It's definitely a bug that should be fixed.

I'm not entirely sure how to do that, actually. If any WinMo devs with experience on this would like to point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it
Thanks for your feedback, everyone!

I've customized some "iReflect" icons with "JWMD Icon Changer".
hope this helps.
Are you sure that the overlapping icons are the customized ones? Because it looks like JWMD only changes the start menu icons, while ArkSwitch looks inside the actual EXE to find its icon.

oops your right, it shows the original icon... it was task manila... the program...
Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for your feedback!
By the way, I've added a to-do list to the second post.
Works perfect on Tilt 2. THanks a lot!

A. I misunderstood "for 6.5.x" as meaning 6.5 and above. Just to let you know i am running plain old 6.5 and my start button still works in the upper left corner.
B. The ArkSwitch button works as well in the upper left corner.
C. Maybe 6.5 compatibility explains why the original task manager doesn't function with ArkSwitch?
4. I would definitely would not want you to add an "are you sure". I hate those.
Hope the feed back helps and is not annoying.

Спасибо за работу.
Hi everyone, this is my first experiment to cook a rom, I wanted to try WM6.5.5 with original theme and dialer and nothing removed.(except the trial copilot and sunnysoft localization)
OEM and EXT packages are from offical 1.28.479.4, SYS and XIP from 23563 build. (original 1.28.479.4 is here)
Suggested radio is 3.48.25.27
I had to remove localization software (sunnysoft) because of incompatibility with wm6.5.5.
Opera9 and Htc task manager updated to Opera10 and MMTaskmanager.
Normal font size, no any customization.
Dialer is fixed, there is no scrollbar in it. (download and extract the attachement, and drop it to windows folder with total commander)
FULL VERSION LINK
Note: I am NOT an expert, I only read very much. This is a good working experiment but I do not plan to update it in the future (I have no time for it and I do not have enough skill). Use it on you own risk! HARD-SPL is needed!
After flash, hard-reset is recommended!
Bonus: CLEAN version
Removed from Full version:
Livesearch
WM65 Lockscreen (I prefer S2U2)
Myphone
Marketplace
Windows Live Mobile
MSN Money
MSN Weather
Opera10
Manilla2d (Titanium is used)
Adobe Reader
Google Maps
EZInput (I prefer Fingerkeyboard)
Facebook
RSSHub
Youtube
Remote Desktop
CLEAN VERSION LINK
Dialer quickfix in first post!
Little help
Using MMTask manager first time:
- Open programs, and choose MMTaskmanager. Choose menu, Settings (wait a few seconds), and fill these: Load On Startup, Enable Taskbar Launch, Run In Background. Push Done, OK, and soft reset! Now you can tap the left top of the screen to rich MMTaskManager.
Using the finger volume control:
- Tap the right corner of the screen, and choose the windows icon. You will get the finger volume control. (with buttons, you will get the ugly two bar. This is by the build)
For performance and other tweaks use Schap's Advanced Config tool
Fingerkeyboard (the best keyboard I think)
S2U2 and S2P (the must have softwares)
ComManager with 3g button
Total Commander for Pocket PC
Newbie cookers must have read these
Nice rom, will give it a bash
Hi,
I've tested the ROM and I like it very much. I was waiting for this since December when I've bought the phone. In my opinion, best distribution of custom ROMs until now.
Only one bug I would like to see fixed if you have the time to cook the ROM again. When in a call, a scroll bar appears. I think is because the taskbar is wider than the one in WM 6.5.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Best Regards and hope you will get the time to cook it again.
working great on T3320 even though it shows T3333
Thank's!!!!This is what i was looking....
Also discovered that the missed calls screen is not properly aligned (my guess is that is positioning according to the dimensions of top bar and task bar from WM6.5)

Yes it is ok. You open the sms section. You write only one letter. When you close, you will be asked to save to draft.
If you choose yes, page closes, sms goes to draft.
If choose no, page closes, sms does not go to draft.
If choose cancel, nothing happens.
