FEWidgets Ultimate is a Today Plugin for Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5 Professional devices (WM 5 and 6.0 are not supported).
IMPORTANT:
- If you've modified the scripting side of any widget on a version lower than 1.0b10, either disable the Fast Orientation Change option, or modify the new scripts, because now widget initialization must be performed on the onWidgetLoad event for the cache to work properly.
- From 1.0b10 sweeping horizontally is cached instead of vertically. Meaning if you had setup a window you'll now have to sweep horizontally to get it, instead of vertically.
- If your device doesn't have too much RAM or the app behaves strange try disabling the "Fast Orientation Change option and soft resetting the device.
This version of the application is 100% native code (C++) using the Qt Framework for Windows CE and does not require Flash at all (none of them).. It also should run faster than it's flash counterpart (the Lite or vanilla old versions).

Changes on 1.0b12
- [Fixed] On some devices docking the Widgets Bar at the bottom will make the bar overlap the menu. (because today window size is not calculated correctly)

Works Great with HTC X7500
Thanks
works great with HTC X7500/Athena
How can I change the background image?
Request: Hope in the future version you can make this app DPI-aware so that it can support 128dpi and 96dpi resolutions (In the Athena it works at 192dpi only,wanted to use it @ 128dpi 'cause the athena's screen is so big, icons in 192dpi are big [email protected][email protected])
My bad...it works @ 128 and 96 dpi...but
Well it works at those resolutions...but they stayed big (original size)
Bug: It doesn't show/start when themes are changed
@ 128DPI
wow thank you. it only eats up 3.7mb.

It's meant to be used on PDA phones.. don't really know if yours has a phone but it looks more like a vanilla Pocket PC.. phones tend to have a smaller screen and the images look smaller. I really don't take into account the DPI because I use the same images no matter what.
When you change the themes it probably tries to restart the plugin.. I've had some problems with that, so perhaps you should try to disable the plugin, change the theme and then enable the plugin again.

Actually it eats some more MB but on dlls (Qt dlls). Since WM 6.1 and 6.5 use a different address space (64MB for large dlls) I guess they are not showing on the Process Manager... or it could be the dlls are not fully loaded and it really eats only that size hehe. You could probably check the real size watching how much memory you've got left with and without FEWidgets.
Cheers,
Nico.
Do you guyz see any battery issues with these widgets?
I hope they take less resources than manila & SPB shell.
on my 6.5, it only eats 3-4MB, im sure of it
any option to remove the vibrate on touch?

There's an option on the Application Configuration item on the configuration window... on the User Manual every configuration option is explained.
found a small bug. if the widget bar is set on TOP of the screen, you cannot add a contact widget or shortcut widget on the screen.
EDIT:
also, after adding a contact widget, if i tap on it to add the contact i want, my phone hangs. (ETEN DX900)

Thanks, I'll fix it tomorrow in the afternoon.
EDIT: I've uploaded the full CABs hopefully fixing that bug. Also on this post is attached a zip with the Main Provider, you can replace the one on FEWidgetsUltimate\providers with this one. Keep in mind you have to unload the plugin to do so.
EDIT: sorry for the stupidity, the widgets were locked hahahahaha
replaced the dll, but still no go when bar is on top
guyz I need some update about battery before really trying this nice work, last time I tried fewidgets its was a nightmare for my battery

Battery life now is not an issue since Flash is no longer used. (0% CPU when idle)
Its good if we can add on more widgets like facebook icon or something
but wondering how to do it or such.

now adding widgets work.
if i tap on the contacts widget, it takes a long time for it to read my contact list. and when it does show the list, it's not in alphabetical order, so it's difficult to find the particular person i want to add.
Thanks for all the hard work. it's only a minor glitch so no sweat

Look on the first post for the Developers Manual. It explains how to create new widgets.

I'll see onto that later today
adding program shortcut widgets are fine. but somehow (although im not that sure) adding contacts widget increases the memory consumption.
also, everytime i reboot with a contact widget added, it asks me if i want to add a custom image or not
Ya, this rocks, Its good, I need to make some widgets tho, Thanks for another great version, I have been using 31 for the past 3 months on my TP

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR PHONE; As with anything that you can do to your phone, if you do somthing wrong, you may have to hard reset (very rare); but if you backup your phone first, you will not loose anything. MiToNiOeS, tronikos and j101399j(myself) take no responsibility if you mess up your phone from doing something stupid. This program in no way can mess up or cause problems with your phone.

The Walkthrough
Preparation
FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT: Back up your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Updated Feb 27,2010; based off v1.4+
How to install:
1. Start by downloading one of the iPhone_Today.zip files from here
This will install all of the needed files for iPhone Today to work.
If this is an update and you have already installed iPT; backup your icons.xml and settings.xml files. Install the new version and then put your icons and settings files back in.
2. Copy the iPhone Today cab onto your phone.
3. On your phone, navigate to the iPhoneToday.cab file
4. Click the iPhgoneToday.cab file and install it to your phone. DO NOT INSTALL TO THE STORAGE CARD
5. You have 2 versions installed;
a. The exe version is opened like a program (start menu --> programs --> iPhoneToday.exe) This is full screen mode. And it will exit if you press home or end. This works very well with programs that use tabs, like TF3d.
b. Or you can use iPhoneToday as a today plug-in. Go into "Start --> Settings --> Today --> Today items" and disable all other today plugins besids iPhone Today6. Use the icon and settings UI managers to add/edit icons (See below for UI instructions)
Adding Icons and UI instructions see post#3
How to update:
If you have v1.3 or older; uninstall iPT and follow the directions for a fresh install
If this is un update for v1.4+ then do not uninstall iPT; just download and install the new version. It will ask if you want to save your fles, select yes, and you are good to go,

Advanced Functions
Advanced:
1. There are two great weather script/applictions that display an icon for the weather.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603817
#2 from arealityfarbetween
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882110
1 (again). How Create Shortcuts (somewhat advanced)
1. Open NotePad on your PC
2. Type a one line command to what the link points to
a. The number before the # sign is the number of characters after the # sign
b. The text following the # sign is the location of the command
i. If this points to a file, it would look like “\windows\start menu\starfire.lnk”
ii. Since there is a space in the location, use quotations
c. The text after the file location is the paramters for the file; the below example pases the commands to open the SMS account and display it’s inbox location
3. Save the file with .lnk at the end
19#:MSINBOX -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"
2. MY XML EDITOR (more for editing text, link and mscr files)
I was unable to (no matter how much I tired or where I put the files) get PHM Notepad. I did find pocket text editor, which does work. Just copy the files to My Documents, and you can edit it from there. So far it works perfectly and saves the file correctly. File Attached
3. How to create a link to a phone number
I found using vj555 phone tools, you can have an icon call a phone number. You can download the phone tools here:
http://www.vijay555.com/
Just make sure you aim at the dialer.exe and set the phone number as a parameter. For Example
<icon name="Home" image="home.png" exec="\program files\vijay555\vjdialer.exe" parameters="8881234567" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
When you hit the button, it will automatically dial that number. Remember no dashes in the phone number.
ANOTHER OPTION:
Here is a really cool program that will automatically create the contact links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555574
oldsap said it perfectly:
Manually creating shortcut files for sms and call sending to specific contacts requires using a text editor (in PPC and PC) and then manually typing text codes and memorizing the phone number for that particular contact, then repeating the same procedure again and again for each contact.
oldsap created a simple application to automate all of this.
4. Create an icon to a website
To create a link to a website, select the program you want the site to open in, in mycase, I use Skyfire. Under the parameters, put the exact website. Here is my icon to this forum.
<icon name="X-divs" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\XDADevs2.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Skyfire.lnk" parameters="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508429" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
5. Create an icon to a folder
Set the exe file at your file explorer and set the paramaters to the exact location of the file to open. This is my link to my games folder
<icon name="Icons" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\icons.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\File Explorer.lnk" parameters="\windows\start menu\programs\games\" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
6. Create an icon to a SMS and E-mail
Use the attached e-mail, outlook and SMS shortcut files, readSMS.lnk for text messages, use readHotmail.lnk for hotmail, ReadGmail.lnk for Gmail, and ReadOutlook.lnk ActiveSync e-mails; do not add parameters if you use these links.
Or you can create a shortcut (See #1 above)
SMS
Code:
19#:MSINBOX -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"
Outlook e-mails:
Code:
54#\windows\tmail.exe -service "ActiveSync" -open "Inbox"
Hotmail
Code:
40#:MSINBOX -service "Hotmail" -open "Inbox"
Gmail
Code:
38#:MSINBOX -service "Gmail" -open "Inbox"
7. Link an icon to a Settings
Attached are my "settings" shortcuts. These shortcuts take you directly to settings and functions on your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3858415&postcount=547
I have also attached an all-settings-link zip file that contains all the settings available. They do not have fancy icons, but it covered everything. Please note, that some of the links go to a settings tab. For example the Backlight_Settings.lnk and Backlight_Battery-Power.lnk shortcuts go to the same backlight settings location, the difference is the Backlight_Battery-Power.lnk goes to the Battery-Power tab. Not all of my tab commands will work on all phones (sorry). So for that example, if you click both links and they both take you to the 1st tab; then tab selection is not supported for that settings location. And you only need one of the link files.
8. How do I rotate the screen
I have attached a switchrotation.zip file at the bottom of this thread. That will allow you to rotate the screen. {Thanks Jeannette for the program}
9. Link an icon to a Call History
To link to call history (files attached):
1. Download the LaunchMSItem.zip
2. UnZip the LaunchMSItem.zip and copy the LaunchMSItem.exe to your phone; (I reccomend your storage card)
3. Edit your "phone" or "call" icon and set the type to "Missed calls"
4. Set the ExecuteAlt to LaunchMSItem.exe's location
5. Set the ParamsAlt to CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS
This will, when you have a missed call, goto call history

11. How to create an apple icon for Manillia Today Page (a tab for iPT on TF3D)
drjim said:
Back on page 207, post #2063, bbonzz created Apple slider tab icons that can be used with Manila Today Page to have a unique slider tab for iPhone Today (instead of having to use the boring MTP Today tab or a tab that you weren't using).
On page 208, post #2079 (or around there), bbonzz has a .zip file of two manila files that will allow you to have a pretty basic Apple slider tab icon (similar to the old-style whitish slider tab icons of TF3D 2.0 and earlier.
Well, being the generous fellow that he is, bbonzz created a colored Apple tab icon for me that fits in just right with my TF3D 2.5 icon set that is a part of Herg's 23412 build. See pic below.

Here are the FAQ's:
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Q: How do I make the bottom bar go away? (aka the soft keys)
A: I have come across a few solutions; if NueNoBar does not work, try question 2. 1st try NueNoBar, there are 2 versions (v1.3 and v2.0); I recommend downloading both, v1.3 works on some and v2.0 works on others.
I haver attached NueNoBar v1.3 & v2.0 to this post at the bottom
2. Q: NueNoBar does not work at all, no matter what I try!!
A: Here are 2 more options:
------2a. Try dciNoBar; NueNoBar did not work on my 2ed phone, so I tried this and it works perfectly. You can find one verison of it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356978
I haver attached dciNoBar to this post at the bottom
------2b. Also try a program called Second Today (thank you dustinmcd for this one and how to use it) http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm#SecondToday; It has an option to hide the bottom bar and also gives the flexibility to use another plugin (such as Titanium) easily. Just enable no today plugins, set up iphonetoday as their "Second Today" and run it full time with minimal memory use.
3. Q. How do I have my calender show the days in my language?
A. Attached at the bottom of this post is a file called Settings XML files.zip this file contains the settings.xml files for all 4 phone resolutions and in English, Espanol (Spanish), Deutsch (German) and Français (French). Just replace your current settings.xml file in your "\iPhoneToday" folder on your phone with that one. Then restart iPhoneToday; now the days will be in your language.
I only speek English, so if I messed up; please PM me.
OR
You need to edit the settings file (located in: /iPhoneToday/settings.xml). Copy your settings.xml file to your PC. Open the file with notepad (ONLY USE NOTEPAD). Change the text inbetween the bracketed days:
ie:
English
Code:
<Sunday>Sun</Sunday>
Code:
[I]<Monday>Mon</Mon>[/I]
or Espanol
Code:
<Sunday>Dom</Sunday>
Code:
[I]<Monday>Lun</Mon>[/I]
or my favorite
Code:
[I]<Sunday>Rest2</Sunday>[/I]
[I]<Monday>Hell1</Monday>[/I]
[I]<Tuesday>Hell2</Tuesday>[/I]
[I]<Wednesday>Hump</Wednesday>[/I]
[I]<Thursday>Better</Thursday>[/I]
[I]<Friday>Party</Friday>[/I]
[I]<Saturday>Rest1</Saturday>[/I]
Save the file, and copy back to your phone. And reset iPT (disable it and re-enable it)
4. How do I add a new page?
A:
. 1. Go to your last page
. 2. Press and hold in any blank area to get the pop menu to add a new icon.
. 3. On the icon add/edit page, in the upper left corner is the screen # selection, it should already have a number. (I have 5 pages, and since the 1st page is page #0; it has the number a 4 in it).
. 3a. If you want to add the icon to the bottom bar, change the screen number to -1;
. 3b. If you want a new page, change the number up by one. For example, I have 5 pages, and I want a 6th page. So I changed the number from 4 to 5 (Remember the 1st page is #0, second page is #1, third page is #2; and so on...)
. Save the icon and now you will have a new page. Also, if you delete all of the icons from a page (like if you are moving them); once the page is blank, it will be deleted. So if you do not want the page to go away, there must be an icon on it.
5. Q: I was editing my icons and everything disappered
A: Chances are your icon's executable path has a special character in it [email protected]#$%^&*()_+=-/.,<>?; or one of your parameters has a " in it. The extra " in your parameters will crash iPhone Today
6. Q: I get a small keyboard at the bottom of the screen
A: Your screen height is a little too big. For some reason NueNoBar has a bug and causes this issue. Start by shrinking your screen height by 1. Open your text messages and close them. If the screen is still too high, the keyboard will still be there. Keep shrinking the screen height till it goes away. Unfortunatuly this will leave 2-3 lines of background/empty spcae on the bottom.
7. Q: How do I create icons to the settings on my phone
A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Link an icon to a Settings
8. Q: How do I link to my call history
A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Link an icon to a Call History
9. Q: How do I Link to my sms and e-mail
A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Create an icon to a SMS and E-mail
10. Q: My bottom icons are messedup/gone after switching back to portrait after landscape mode
A: Disable the landscape option in iPhoneToday settings. This is a problem on some phones and there is no real fix yet
11. Q: I have a scroll bar on the side
A: Your screen height is too large, or you have another today plugin turned on (under or over iPhone Today), or your icons are too big and over laping. You need to lower your screen height.
12. Q: Can we have a clock?
A:For those having problems to see the digital clock:
1 add a new icon, a blank one or one with only a colored background
2 execute nothing or, if you have, a shortcut to the winmobile clock
3 change the Type from 'normal' to 'clock'
4 Enjoy your time Thanks CU
13. What is the "dll" version?
This no longer applies
14. I have iPhone Today installed; how do I update
A: If you are going to install a new vrsion.
1. 1st back up your icons, icons.xml file to your storeage card.
2. Uninstall your current iPhoneToday
3. Restart your phone
4. Install
5. copy your backed up files back to the main iPhoneToday folder to be safe
Please note that for now you cannot backup your settings
You have updated your phone
15. During installation it says that the software in compatible with the operation system. I accept and continue the installation. When installation is completed I cant see the today plugin in the list.
A. {Thanks Jeannette for the answer and cab} you have to install the "RemoveSecurity.CAB " attached at the bottom of this post to remove the security warning. Also you have to install iPhoneToday to the device. If you install to 'My Storage' it doesn't show as a today item
16. How do I create icons that turn Bluetooth or Wifi on/off?
A: Download and install Raiisak`s Bluetooth Button and Raiisak`s WLAN Button from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398050
AKToggleWifi is also a great program for WiFi Toggle.
You can find AKToggleWifi here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442727

How many pages do you have, was the 3rd page the last page, or was it in the middle.
If it was the last page:
Press and hold to create a new icon, on the icon details page, in the upper left corner, you will see a "screen" option; change it to "2" (0 is page 1, 1 is page 2 and so on). Give the icon a name and save it. This will add a 3rd page. Now create as needed.
If you have more then 3 pages
You will need to move all but one icon off that page (to create a new end page see above steps). Then add a new icon to page 3 (if there are no icons, the page will delete). Move the last icon to the new last page. Since you have that new icon on page 3, it will not delete that page. Then you are ready to go.
Is it possible to create an icon that opens a new screen in IphoneToday? I created shortcuts to several phonenumbers. I'd like to group them. I mean when I hit the icon a new screen opens with the grouped shortcuts to the phonenumbers.

You would have to create a new icons.xml file that has just those icons and use MortScript to swap the files and refresh iPT. See this post:

iPT does not disable or mess with the hard buttons when ran as a today plug-in. If you are using the exe version (start --> programs--> iPhoneToday.exe); then you will loose your hard soft keys bcause you are running it as a program, not a plug-in; same as any full screen program. If you run iPT that way, you will need to create icons to those settings/items. Since every phgone is different, I can't really create a guide how to add them

Cool, that is what I figured each locations were for. However, I am having an issue getting it to work and I think it is with the location. Say I want weather for Sacramento, CA (USA). Here is the URL:
http://www.accuweather.com/us/ca/sacramento/94203/...
What is the location code? Is it us|ca|sacramento|94203 or us/ca/sacramento/94203?
I don't have TF3D, so I can't use MTP. So this is the only option.

Here is how I have it setup, but it just sits there. I also use MEdia Net (AT&T); that setting worked for the old other weather icon program. Here is my weather.ini file

So for Sacramento in California, the location code is NAM|US|CA|SACRAMENTO

AccuWeather Icons
Hello,
I have made some AccuWeather Icons...
Enjoy.
I have two answers and two questions:
- I only want to use WLAN so I left the internet connection entry empty, it works.
- Yes, it works with the exe- version of iPT.
Questions:
- Is it possible to integrate S2U2 like in moesfeld's yahoo- version?
- I tried to use weather icons from moesfeld, they seem to be disordered, show the wrong weather. Is there another order for the AccuWeather- icons?
THX & CU
@chancer63: since I don't use S2U2, I don't know if I'll make a version for it, but I'll take a look if I find some time.
For the icons, you cannot use icons used for Yahoo! Weather as the ones from moesfeld, because there are not the same as the ones for AccuWeather... these icons were done by Bluemetalaxe and he doesn't have time to remake 40 new weather icons, sorry.
Ok, I've taken a look at UserWeather in S2U2.
It seems you can display only one icon and forecast.
Which one do you want? The current forecast?
I may display for instance the current forecast icon, with a text below showing current temperature, current RealFeel®, current weather description, high temperature, high RealFeel®, low temperature, and low RealFeel®.
Something like that is ok for you?
2° (4°), Mostly Cloudy | Hi 3° (2°) / Lo 0° (-3°)
Perhaps the text will be too long... I don't kown.
Just tell me exactly what you want and I'll give it a try .

Well done!
By the way, I'm working on a new version with many new stuff, to be released next week.
I'll also include an optionnal IPTWnightIconSuffix setting in the weather.ini file so that configuring different icons for night forecasts is easier than editing the config.xml.
2 recommendations, add a script killer and reg lock
Code:
RemoveNotifications(\iPhoneToday\IPTWeather\iPhoneTodayAccuWeather.mscr")
Here is the reg lock code:
At the start of the script add this:
Code:
#Lock reg
("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","lockRegistry",1)
And at the end put this
Code:
#Unock reg
("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","lockRegistry",0)
This way if another code is running, things don't get screwed up, and if you accidently hit the button many time, you don't end up with 20 or 30 scripts running.
I don't see the point of having a script killer for iPhoneTodayAccuWeather.mscr script, since this script is only run by the user and since it is written in the MortScript manual:
4.3 Multiple instances and aborting scripts
MortScript can run in multiple instances, but only once for each script.
If an already running script is run a second time, an open dialog of that script (e.g. Choice,
Message, ...) will be activated. If the script doesn't show any windows, nothing will happen.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As for the lockRegistry thing, is it an iPhoneToday feature?
What will it change to add this entry?
Perhaps I should have a wait loop like that before updating the iPhoneToday registry, but this would work only if the other code running and using iPhoneToday uses this kind of loop too:
Code:
While (("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday\lockRegistry") <> 0)
Sleep(1000)
EndWhile
#Lock reg
("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","lockRegistry",1)
#Update iPhoneToday registry
#... and unlock reg at end
("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","lockRegistry",0)
Perhaps I'm wrong, so please explain me.
Looking back at your script, the kill is not needed, so please ignore that part. As for the lock, it is only needed if someone is running multiple scripts that edit the icons. For example, if this is running and then the battery script starts, they can cause some wierd icon changes and mess up the icons and notes. It is not needed, but just an idea
[edit] Yes, competly ignore the lock and kill parts. I did not fully understand your scripts and these 2 things will only mess things up.

Changelog
iPhoneToday v1.5.2 (Apr 15, 2010)
Improved scrolling performance. It should be really fast when there is no wallpaper or there is a gradient or image background for the mainscreen pages. Under these conditions you could even enable alpha blend on background without any performance loss.
Improved animation performance.
Added new animation effects. The available ones are: "None", "Expand rectangle from center", "Zoom out from center", "Zoom in to center", "Expand rectangle from clicked area", "Zoom out from clicked area", and "Zoom in to clicked area".
Added "animation" tab in options where you can select the animation effect, the animation duration, and whether to launch the application before the animation.
The "out of screen" tab got more options. You can now configure to stop scrolling when there are no more icons in a given direction.
Added an option to tile the background images.
Included a couple of tileable textures.
Included an iPhone background for the BottomBar.
Included some nicer looking bubbles.
When adding a new icon, it is now by default inserted at the end of the list not at the beginning.
Whenever edit boxes receive the keyboard focus all the text in them is selected and the keyboard is shown.
For PNDs added a "KB" button next to the "OK" and "X" buttons.
icons.xml and settings.xml are now always saved with DOS new lines.
Center button of D-pad jumps to first page.
Added --goto:right and --goto:left (similar to the --goto:next and --gotorevious).

Fixed non updating "Calendar & Appointments", "Unplayed Voice Mails" and "Irda State" icons.
Fixed exec alt of "Missed Calls & Signal Strength & Operator Name" icon.
Fixed an issue when text's color is black.
Other minor fixes and improvements...
iPhoneToday v1.5.1 (Apr 3, 2010)
Using registry notifications instead of polling for updating notifications (bubbles, date, time, etc.). Notifications (and reloadIcon) should now appear immediately. Battery foot print should also be smaller.
Icon, text, circles, offset sizes, etc. are scaled automatically if the application is launched in a different resolution than the one in settings.xml (LastConfiguredAt).
Bubbles are alpha blended.
Position, size, text, etc. of bubbles are configurable.
Added background image support for static bars (bottom bar and top bar). Gradient background can now be used even when a wallpaper is set. The background (gradient or image) of static bars can be alpha blended to the wallpaper.
ShrinkToFit option of static bars now shrinks the text height in addition to the icon width.
Added font settings dialog.
Renamed "GPRS State" icon to "Cell Network State".
Added "Missed Calls & Signal Strength & Operator Name" icon.
Added "Unplayed Voice Mails" icon.

Added minimize OnLaunchIcon option (you have to manually edit settings.xml).
Added UpdateWhenInactive option (you have to manually edit settings.xml) to always update notifications even when window is inactive. The default value is 0 to save battery.
iPhoneToday v1.5.0 (Mar 21, 2010)
Fixed battery drainage issue.
Improved quality of icons by using the averaging interpolation method for resizing them.
Added an alternative method for alpha blending to the background that should be faster but requires more memory.
Added an option to "use mask for transparency" that might help the scrolling performance on some devices.
Added text quality option (Default, Draft, Nonantialiased, Antialiased, Cleartype, Cleartype comp), but it is available only when alpha blend on background is disabled.
Added facename (font family) option for the text labels under the icons, the header text, and the special icons text. (you have to manually configure the XML, no dialog yet).
Added shadow and roundrect options for the header text.
Added --winkey command to display the start menu.
Added an option to show battery percentage while charging (enabled by default).
Changed default value of vibration for non phone devices to 0.
Fixed crash when copying icons from topbar.

Fixed a bug with background resizing.
Added RoundRect option (for now only in the XML, no dialog yet) to display a black rounded rectangular behind the text (like Android).
iPhoneToday v1.4.8 (Mar 14, 2010)
Using LPNG library (an extremely light-weight library - it just adds 6KB) if imaging API fails (mostly helpful for PNDs where imaging API is often missing). This allows now all devices to load and display transparent PNG icons.
Huge memory savings compared to v1.3 when AlphaBlend is disabled (32bit icons are now converted to whatever the screen supports, usually 16bit).
Fixed text labels being 1-2 pixels left of the center of the icons.
Fixed background color of options dialog to be the windows default color for menu backgrounds.
Added --keyboard command to show/hide the keyboard.
Only for PNDs: added a help button (question mark) on the title bar of the options and icon settings dialogs (next to the OK button) that toggles the appearance of the keyboard.
The 3-letter abbreviation of the day of the week is now by default displayed in the language of the user locale.
Converted the included pressed icons from gray scale to true color since LPNG only supports loading true color PNG images.
Resized the bubble icons.
Added a warning that scrolling will be slow when AlphaBlend is enabled on devices that do not natively support it.

I believe because he's not the author of the earlier versions (he's picked up the project where the original author abandoned it) and wants to be able to maintain his own thread and starting post. If he had just replied in the original thread, the thread owner might not update the starting post links and only those who read the whole thread (which is 287 pages long) would find the new version. I think that a new thread for a new author and new "life" for the project makes sense.
tronikos,
It looks really good. Some things...
1. Tapping the screen briefly flashes an all-white screen (the same that shows when loading and during the "animation" when pressing an icon). If anything, it'd be nice if it (and the loading screen and "animation" screen) were black, but, ideally, there shouldn't be any flashing at all, of course.
2. Is there an option to not display the taskbar? I realize that that's the normal way to get at the keyboard, but it'd be good to allow for alternatives (like MioPocket's MiniBar).
3. Flipping pages isn't a smooth as it seemed in the YouTube video that you pointed me to earlier. Could it be that the "movement" settings have been changed or is my device's 400MHz processor not powerful enough to handle the program smoothly?
4. Even though settings.xml indicates an icon width of 45px, when I loaded the program, the "autoconfigure" set it to 51, which made the icons look bad. I'm guessing that the program picks an icon size based on the resolution, which is probably a good thing, but perhaps it should choose from icon sizes that are multiples of 8 or 16, i.e. ones that would still look good when downsampled from the original 96x96 icons.
5. An icon on the button bar to access options and add icons would be a lot more intuitive than clicking and holding the background. Do you think that that's doable?
6. Have you made any progress in adding multiple categories (ex. "Settings", "Tools", "Apps", etc.) and a nav bar to switch between them?
7. Have you made any progress in adding icons outside of the main area and bottom area, so that we aren't restricted to them? I'd like to be able to define an icon anywhere that I want, including by giving exact coordinates.
Sorry to throw so much out there for you to address. I'm just, as you know, thinking about how I might adapt MioPocket to it, especially without having to remove features (such as the quick launch button, the SideBar, faux taskbar with start menu button and so on). It's really good so far and suitable for a lot of other people's uses already, though.
BTW, you might want to include some more information and a screenshot in the first post for those who aren't already familiar with the project . I suspect that that's your plan... just mentioning it in case not.
Wow this is really exciting. I love this app, it's really given my phone a new lease on life without its stylus.
I'm really curious to know what the change log for this version might look like, since iphone today is so central to my usability I'm a little more hesitant than I would normally be to just dive in and try a new version..
Tronikos,
can you please add me to the project on google code project?
My google account is: [email protected]
Thanks
egzthunder1,
I created this thread for the reasons Osprey00 mentioned.
I got permission from MiToNiOeS to create a google code project for iPhoneToday and upload my changes there. I hope that this move will help its further development.
Osprey00,
1. That was a stupid bug I introduced just before uploading it. Only the exe version is affected. I fixed it and uploaded 1 hour ago. Please redownload it.
2. Check the "Fullscreen" option under Misc tab. Also since the taskbar will automatically be shown whenever iPhoneToday loses focus you might want to check the "Never show taskbar" option too.
3. If my bugfix for #1 didn't do it please experiment with the "Movement" settings.
4. Yes MiToNiOeS originally had code to autoconfigure the icon size based on the screen width. I might change it to be multiple of 8 but the included icons will have to be updated too. I included MiToNiOeS's ones that are 90x90 and not 96x96. For now change AlreadyConfigured in the settings.xml to 1 and set the icon size from a script depending on the screen resolution.
5. Yes it is doable but since I don't have a device anymore (I got as a gift a nokia phone that fits my gps needs too) I am not planning to add any new features, only bugfixes.
6. Manually enter a header text in the icons.xml for each screen and change the mainscreen's top offset and header height in the options. For changing screens if you don't like flipping you can use the circles at the bottom.
7. Sorry no plans to do this.
bluenote73,
I changed quite a few things that I don't remember them now.
Once I find time to look into my code changes I will create a detailed changelog.
mathwiz314,
OK I added you.
Anyone,
If you can help in any way please feel free to ask me to add you.
You don't have to know coding. The project needs a summary page and documentation in the wiki.
Nice work, I was playing around with it in the CE emulator. I renamed your .exe as SysInfo-Start in my emulator miopocket setup. It started up everything fine and Iphone today as GUI. I get the white flashes sometimes too, but other then that it operates good. I would like a full time clock display on GUI. I would like more pages( might be possible havn't played with it enough yet), and be able to edit the dot buttons to easily navigate pages by pic or text (i.e. multimedia, setting, navigation). Going into the task bar setting and unchecking keep task bar on top, completely hide task bar, which is good IMO. I need to test it more, but your doing a fine job with this GUI.
Awesome that someone gets his hands on this.
Can't wait to see what will come next.
Hi tronikos
Thank you for keeping alive this wonderful today plugin
Hi, I don't really know much about coding but I can lend a hand if there are any graphics that need done. I don't know if this is the issue mentioned above but I have an HD2 and the icon resolution looks really low. Might I suggest using some of the many icon packs available in the HD2 Themes and Apps section or something.
Sorry if I said something noobish lol I haven't had a proper good look at it yet.
Dan
As requested, can you put a screenshot in this thread (or, at least, in your google code page) ?
I think we'are reacting better with a screenshot...
As someone said in the past : 'A pic is better than a thousand words' !
Good luck with the project !
@Osprey, Tronic and all Miopocket friends
After playing arround a little bit, all in all a very good tool. It is easy to add some pages and also create a header for the pages, so Miopocket Windows seven page folders (Favorites, Navigation etc.) could easily adapted. Also vertical scrolling is possible, but I don't know how to create pages?
Flipping pages was a mess at the beginning, instead off flipping, it always went to icon edit mode. I played arround with the movement settings, but had the feeling nothing is changing. At the very end, I disabled right klick in the settings. Now flipping works very good, but the way to come back to the setting page is closed. ==> Any ideas?
Regarding icons:
I added two icons from this board (not allowed to link)
to compare. On the picture these are the first two adobe test and igo test. By far looking better, but no problem to change.
Sorry, I am not allowed to link to image banana and , so I have to attach the picture as a zip file
Use imageshack (or photobucket...) to upload your pictures and post the forum version of the links (with pic thumbnail). Without the attachments size restrictions the bandwith cost would go through the roof!
@frmariam
it's the same. I am a new member (Feb 2009!!!!) and not allowed to link to external pages. BTW also internal links seems to be not allowed.
Probably somebody could link to the picture?

Schlork,
Putting an original copy of setting.xml in your install will take you back to default.
I noticed that the clock and calender icon are actually the clock and calender and can be customized in options somewhat. I placed the clock on bottom bar. Still trying to figure out adding pages and headers and still working with it in CE emulator.

I don't know if we are all working on the same page. Some of the posters are redirected from Tronikos to post here. We are owning thumb GPS devices, which became Porsche's since Osprey developed Miopocket for. Even now more with ability to have iphone functions.
@[email protected]
Thanks! It's not a problem to switch back, I could easily write a script and put it on a button for that. But I am wondering, if there is not another solution?
@sinoo
pretty thanks! And OT how can I convince Mods to be not a spammer?
Hi, where can i fin the "full" changelog?
Hope I can help
I know a little about coding, but I make mean FAQ and display pages (see links in my sig). I am very happy that this got picked back up and look forward to new releases. Anyone from the old iPT forum knows how much I was involved there, and I hope I can help as much here and on the google code page.

DOWNLOAD:
Version 1.0:
Changed the default skin to something cleaner that uses text-based tab widget instead of icons. You can still use the old skin by downloading "Classic UberMusic Skin" from the Android Market (link)
Added a live wallpaper that will show album art from your collection and rotate it periodically.
Added a 4x3 widget.
You can now set different skins for the the user interface and app widgets.
Added index headers to the "Folders" tab.
Added an option to trigger a system re-scan of the SD card.
Added an option to force the user interface to be displayed in English regardless of your device's language. (Might not work in all devices)
Changed it so that unplugging the headset will pause the music even if headset controls is disabled.
Fixed a bug where the music wouldn't automatically pause when receiving incoming calls on certain phones.
Fixed a bug in the widget where the previous album art would stick if the current track had no album art.
Fixed a bug with the "Keep screen on" option not working properly.
Beta 3:
Added a new "Bio" tab to Artist screens.
Added an option to keep the screen on while the "Now Playing" screen is visible.
The App Widget is now skinnable. Please note that certain skins might not provide layouts for all widget sizes, so not all sizes might be functional depending on the skin you use. The default skin currently supports 1x1, 2x1, 4x1, 4x2, and 4x4. The 4x3 widget will come in next update.
Added overscrolling, a squeeze effect when overscrolling, and a nicer scrolling algorithm to all lists.
Added menu option from Artist and Album screens to go back to the main library screen.
Re-fixed a force close issue when opening folders with apostrophes in the path (turns out previous version didn't really fix it).
Beta 2:
Added all the translations submitted to the UberMusic translation project. If any of the translations in your language seems wrong, feel free to head over to the project page and submit better translations (if someone already submitted a better translation, you can help by upranking the best translation).
Added gestures for switching songs in the "Now Playing" screen. Swipe from right to left to go to the next track, and from left to right to go to the previous track.
Added an option in the settings to choose and apply a skin. Skins can be installed through the Android market once skin developers start publishing them there. If you would like to make skins for UberMusic, please read the UberMusic Skin Creation Manual
Fixed the Last.fm scrobbling through the official app that got broken in Beta 1
Fixed a force close issue when opening folders with apostrophes in the path.
Beta 1:
Note: The user interface is now driven by the new skinning engine. I'll be releasing all the details on how to make skins as soon as I'm finished writing them (will take some time). I think this app has the most powerful skinning engine on the market right now.
The official/default skin drops the WP7 look, but the skinning engine is flexible enough that it can be made to look exactly like the previous Alpha versions through skins. If you want the WP7 look back, you'll have to wait until someone releases a skin for it (which I'm sure won't take long once the details on how to make skins are released). The Beta versions have a different package name than the Alphas, so they can coexist in your device (you can install the Beta without overwriting the Alpha).
Also, I've started a Crowdin.net (collaborative transaltion) project for UberMusic. So if you'd like to see UberMusic translated in your language, feel free to head over to the project page and submit translations/corrections or vote for the best translations.
Changed the disable lockscreen option so that it only disables the lockscreen when something is playing. It should also work even if you leave the Now Playing screen, but it's not failproof.
Changed the layout of the Now Playing screen on LDPI devices so that scrolling isn't necessary.
Improved the track seeking functionality of the progress indicator. You can now click anywhere on the indicator to seek to that position.
Alpha 7 changelog:
Fixed the force-close when opening the Recently Added playlist.
Fixed the trash can appearing on the Album screen.
Alpha 6 changelog:
Playlists can now be edited through the app. Open a playlist and press Menu > Edit. Use the handles (up/down arrows) to drag/move songs. Drag them to the trash can to remove them from the playlist.
The widget's Play button should now work even if the queue is empty.
Added a menu item on the Now Playing screen to go to Settings.
Added an option to disable the lockscreen while on the Now Playing screen.
You can now choose to scrobble through the official Last.fm app, through ScrobbleDroid / SLS, or disable it entirely.
Fixed some problems in the shuffling code that were causing force closes.
Alpha 5 changelog:
Fixed startup force close that happened on some HTC phones.
Made the entire widget clickable, so that clicking anywhere (outside the play/pause/next buttons) will open the app.
Added the ability to delete playlists by long-pressing on a playlist and choosing "Delete".
Added an option to set the default tab to show when the application is started.
New option to use a custom status bar instead of the system status bar. Touch it to reveal more info (battery charge, Wifi status, signal strength, data connection). Swipe it down to open the notifications panel. Please note that due to limitations in the Android system, it's not possible to show notifications in the custom status bar or customize the notifications panel.
Alpha 4 changelog:
Fixed a bug that caused the app to fail to restore the shuffle setting when restarted.

I'm using this app and I really love it
hmmm... lets check it out...
So what do you think about this application ???
I havent used it yet, but it looks good... a bit like Windows Phone 7.
But I really like PowerAMP
It could a chance to leave PowerAMP... but the player is already in alpha status, so there might be some bugs.
I'll install the app this our and i'll show my notifications.
Update:
Looks good (in real), but dont know how to get the second picture (got a little cover - not a fullscreen).
I miss a equalizer.
Good navigation - easyto understand, better than PowerAMP.
I think I let it stay on the phone as a second player.
Yeah, it's still under development of LauncherPro Team.
It looks like WM7 and I really like this style. I think that in beta or RC we will have EQ too. ;-)
Any chance of baking in Dlna or cloud support?
I'm not a developer of this app.
I just found this on twitter of LauncherPro Team. ;-)
Does anybody know how to make the cover on fullscreen, as the screenshot?
Application needs network access. ;-)
Thank you for your hard work.I'm a Andriod Fan from China,and my English is not good.But I very like your APP.Hope more good APP.
Update !!!
The newest version Alpha 5 added into first post.
I'll check this out...
App is great, a bit minimalistic but with nice animations and UI, if it had an equalizer would be my primary music player. Awesom work to the devs
Best music app ever!
I was a itunes regular till I found Microsoft's Zune player. It is simply beautiful and I haven't cheated on her ever since. I wouldn't even have dreamt I'd be able to use that beauty on my phone. Thank you Mr. Federico. This is the best music app ever.
I'd love to see OTA sync with Zune player. After using the stock app for exactly a year, I finally make the shift to a new one, this one.
UPDATE !!!
New version Alpha 7 and the developer changed the name from FedeMusic to UberMusic. :-D
I like this. I saw it dowloads artists photos, is there a way to make it load custom artists images located o on the disc folder? Sometimesit loads very low quality pics and i would like to put higher quality artist photos.
Im loving this app. Fede has done very well since the first release.
Unfortunately the latest Alpha (7) has changed a load of my artists to 'Unknown Artist' which is a little frustrating. Version 6 didnt do that. Hopefully it'll be fixed next release.
Unless anyone here would have an idea around it?
Cool!! Ive seen dis player before!!! here it is luks almost da same!!! http://approb.com/android/apps-for-android/317-wp7-zplayer-for-android.html
UberMusic = WM7 Player ;-)
Hi. Have you got eq for this music player?

very nice...I'm liking this
This looks nice. Will this have the same functionalities as SWApp Link ?
If not, does SWApp Link work on Moto360 ?
awesome. its great!!!
*SWApp Launcher dev Update 1.01*
• Application UI is fixed on Lollipop phones
• Code optimization, the application is far quicker than before
• Middle panel is opened first on Watch too
• Option to disable vibrate when swipe to launch app on the watch
• New icon to force shortcuts sync (in case you use another watch for example)
there seems to be a problem with lollipop phones when trying to selects apps or shortcuts. I have uploaded a fixed version on the store, it should be available in a couple of hours.
Glad to see you here, man. Loved your work on the Omate while it was short lived, but here, nonetheless. Will absolutely give this a try and report back! :good:
Improvements
I have try this launcher on my LG Watch R.
It work good.
3 improvements.
1 - choose what kind of animation. I use swipe right to open. The launcher open with animation bottom to top of the screen.
2 - After choose a shortcut and close it, i must close the launcher. I think that it has sense that the launcher autoclose after choose one shortcut.
3- Choose background color.
Continue your great work.

OK that's good to hear. Thanks!
What about SWApp Link itself? Does it work on the moto 360?
*SWApp Launcher dev Update 1.04*
• The Launcher now appears and disappears from the same side as the swipe
It seems it disappeared!
When i woke up this morning, SWApp Launcher status was "unpublished" in the play store: it's play store page was unavailable ???
I don't know how this has happened ???
I have published it back but the play store will take a couple of hours to update.

Great I'll test it
App on phone doesn't save settings. For example, I can't turn off swipe area.
Sync and cloud buttons also do nothing. No confirmation is received that it has done something.
I'm on a htc one m8 running kitkat 4.4.4

A little update...
After installing the app again, and never touch the settings... It doesn't display the swipe area. However... Close after starting app... Is on by default but it never closes after starting an app.
Also if you swipe on the watch (lg g watch r) it takes some time for swap launcher to appear... It's not nice and swift to react on user input. Maybe it can be made to react a bit faster?
I like the app and it's on screen appearance. So I hope it's possible to fix these Lil bugs ?
Great app, i'm using it to launch wear and phone apps.
I like it but i would that you could optimize the UI for square screen (i have a Sony sw3). For example permits to choose round or square UI.
Another feature that i would is choose background color.
Thank you :good:
