yep i understand
How do you configure email accts and facebook?
TeleSketch Facebook Upload
TeleSketch will use WinMo messaging to send it's drawing.
Step 1 (Setup WinMo Messaging Email Account)
For e-mail, TeleSketch will use your Pocket Outlook email account.
Go To WinMo Start Menu -> Messaging -> new E-mail Account
Step 2 (create Facebook's m.facebook Upload Email)
For facebook, you must first setup your Facebook's upload email account,
go to your facebook account, then 'Profile' -> 'Wall' -> click 'Attach Photos' -> 'Upload a Photo' -> 'Upload via email' -> take note for your 'personal upload email' normally like this '[email protected]'
Then from TeleSketch Menu -> Send -> Facebook -> enter your 'm.facebook Upload email' just created before -> also enter your account for sending email from step 1 above.
Notes:
TeleSketch will also use WinMo messaging to send this facebook upload email, so be sure you can send email from pocket outlook before.
For MMS, TeleSketch will also use WinMo messaging. Please be sure you can send MMS using Pocket Outlook before.
Omnia sluggish, not responsive touch screen
To those of you using Samsung Omnia SGH-i900 may experienced sluggish, not responsive touch screen (drawing ink lag behind).

Modify DownUp from 256 to 750 (decimal)
-Save the changes and soft reset the phone for the new setting to take effect!
- The original data will be reset if you do the 5 points calibration procedure
Nice sw !
Have downloaded and tried Tele-Sketch and it works fine on my HTC Touch Dual running WM 6.1
However, I have two wishes for you to enhance the sw further:
1. A way to delete a note from within TS
2. A possibility to open TS with the last opened note
Regards,
Jan G
wicked app,nice one
i have just downloaded and had a quick try.
it seems totally awesome. there could be many times when this is needed.
thanks ver much.

p.s. i am using a touch pro with stock rom.
TeleSketch Updated to 1.1.0.15
Good News,
TeleSketch was updated to 1.1.0.15
Mostly bug fix for those of you using non-English Device
Updates 1.1.0.15
- Bug Fix: 'New Canvas Color' previous color at border
- 'About Box' contain weblink
- Bug Fix: Installation destination '\Program Files\TeleSketch' moved for non-english user
- Bug Fix: Configuration files at '\Program Files\TeleSketch' moved for non-english device
- Bug Fix: Temporary file '\Program Files\TeleSketch\tmpmms.jpg" moved for non-english device
No start icon
I found the reason why no TS icon showed up in the
Program start list. It is a localization problem
again! TS now saves its start icon/lnk file to a
folder named \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. In the
localized version there is no such folder, in
this version it is \Windows\Start-meny\Program, so
the system does not find the TS lnk file.
So don't hardcode the destination folders, please.
Using Wizard on WM 6.5.1 and the only problems I see thus far have to do with the camera picture. The photo does not fit the screen. It seems that no matter if I choose "fit to screen" or not the photo does not fit the screen (only a smaller portion of it).
Other than that (and the program icon need some work LOL) it works and is fun to be able to send drawings via MMS.
Thanx
TeleSketsa (aka TeleSketch) Start Menu Item & Camera Problem
Install Problem (Start Menu Item) fixed in version 1.1.0.16
We know, TeleSketsa have problem with Camera Capture.
SHCameraCapture() appear to ignore the requested resolution.
To remedy this problem, change the camera resolution in the camera application:
Exit TeleSketsa
Start Your Default Camera Application
Set the resolution in your default camera Application
Exit your camera application
Start TeleSketsa
Hi, i will give it a try. All grifics stuff is very interesting for me. My phone = see my signature
This probably wouldn't work so well on a capacitive screen eh? Looks like a cool app though!

This version of Meteoray has been totally rewritten from the start, this done so that finally a weather tab worthy of its name is available also for Manila2D, with automatic offline hourly updates.
No comparison in our opinion, to the ineffective and statics forecasts that this interface has as standard. No necessary patch for Manila, no altered dll , no external server dedicated.
Very easy to use; It is possibile to easily obtain the forecasts for any location present in the database of Accuweather (over 2.7 million locations). This version is aided by the weather forecasts of "Accuweather.com", elaborating the data which is freely available on the internet enabling it to be shown correctly in the weather tab.
MeteoRay is "Donationware", therefore you are totally free to say a simple "thankyou" or to make a donation to the programmers (My daughter and myself) to add an incentive for further development, correction of bugs, release of new projects.
It is our intention, within the shortest possible time (considering that programming for us isn’t a profession but a passion) to expand the program with new features making it along the same lines as the Italian version shown here:
http://meteoray.mondoweb.net/topic779.html

}
Installation
It couldn’t be any easier: Just open up the zip file and copy the obtained folders wherever you want to. Preferably, but not absolutely necessary, copy them to the internal memory of the pda due to the slightly slower start up time of external memories such as SD, miniSD or Micro SD. Wherever the folders are placed the software will autodetect the paths needed and will act accordingly.
Requirements
Manila2D interface working normally (obviously) and the presence on the PPC of .Net Framework (freely downloadable from the Microsoft website however present in most of the cooked roms). Put in a number of locations inferior or the same as those set up before hand on your Manila2D interface, up to a total of no more than 5 on MeteoRay. The locations chosen in Manila2d can be any provided; It will be MeteoRays job to change them into the locations you have chosen for the software If for example you wish to choose 5 locations in MeteoRay you must first put 5 or more in Manila2D before updating.
Options description
A few options to simplify the use ,from top to bottom:
- ACCUWEATHER LOGO Opens Opera (if present) or Pocket Internet Explorer on the www.accuweather.com homepage
- ENGLISH/METRIC with this switch you are able to download the data directly in Fahrenheit or Celsius, this way you will avoid the bug present in Manila2D relating to the conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius (not very accurate)
- BOX for CHOICE OF LOCATION put in a number of locations inferior or the same as those set up before hand on your Manila2D interface, up to a total of no more than 5 on MeteoRay. The real difference being that you are able to choose your own. The code that you must put in is that used at Accuweather.com; at the first start up of the software it will show 5 pre-programmed locations in the UK to use as an example.
- "EXPLORER ICONS" each of them opens the corresponding page of Weather Forecast AccuWeather (online)
- UPDATE use this for normal updates of the weather forecast. The forecasts downloaded will be for 3 days, and for 3 days the software will work offline putting the necessary weather icons in the correct place in the Manila2D. To reset the update interval, just do a normal Manila2D update before downloading the forecasts with MeteoRay. However, the Manila2D normally does this operation when the PPC is connected to the PC using Activesync
- >> use this to move over the screen of advanced options.. Also using the key << you can return the to first page. The advanced options aloe the selection and the download of the Satellite Animations from the whole world in .gif format. They will be saved in the directory "Meteo" and can be visualised using your preferred programme
- EXIT does this need explaining?
- INFO Information about this software.
Normal use
Meteoray downloads the necessary data to enable it to work correctly through any working connection on your PPC. Needless to say that it is ideal to update using "free connections" such as WI-FI, Bluetooth or Activesync. The data shown is that relative to the next 5 hourly steps (for example, if it is 21.12, Meteoray will show the forecast for 22.00 in large numbers and in small numbers it will show the forecasts for 23:00, 00:00. 01:00, 02:00) The second temperature in the small icons at the bottom is the "Realfeel" (the temperature that is actually felt by the human body depending on the wind, humidity etc).
Removal
Very easy : just remove the folder containing the software. On reaching the first hourly step you will get an error (then there will be others; basically the PPC is trying to use the software that has been removed)
For those who really want to remove all: you could remove the whole key "MeteoRay" from "HKCU - Software" to eliminate any trace of use from the registry, the file "MeteoRay.png" from the directory "\Windows" and you have finished. The others can leave everything as it is, it takes up just a very few Kb of space and there are no further consequences.
What is and isn’t allowed
You are free to include the links to the MeteoRay Forum to enable the download of the installation file, but Not allowed to enable those files to be directly downloaded from your Website, Blog, ftp etc...
For a very simple reason: To make it easier for the user during the update. To have on the web various versions, obsolete, incomplete or bugged won’t help you, in fact it will do the complete opposite .You are also allowed to include the software as it is , (without making any changes to it), to your own personalised roms. Just one suggestion, do it in such a way to allow the files to be overwritten to simplify any eventual updates.
Final notes
Unfortunately our English isn’t the best; this page has been translated for us, but our future replies won’t always be as grammatically correct. We are counting on the "XDA-Dev Power Users" for the most obvious replies to be given to the less knowledgeable Users. Thankyou in advance for your cooperation.
Important
At the moment it is only possibile to use MeteoRay with locations in your own time zone; after receiving your feedback and views about this present version we will further rewrite the software routines to eliminate this annoying limitation. This will allow MeteoRay to be able to easily visualise also the time in different time zones, therefore working as a mini-time converter (useful for those who travel or even just for curiosity).
If you are satisfied with the work that has been carried out up to now, you could offer us a pizza or a beer...
Enjoy it, Davide & Federica Ippolito

@All: I suggest all of you to try it...
BYE, Bobo
This is working with the weather but how do i see the satellite views they have downloaded do i view them through Manila2d or your program ??
Check signature for phone and OS version
You can use your favorite program that supports animated gifs; you will find the images downloaded into the directory "MeteoRay\Meteo"

ok thanks great app i thought i was doing something wrong
Thanks for your consideration.
I could also implement an internal viewer (and probably I will do in the future), when I'm working on offline html report summarizing the Weather Forecast in table like this:
Great i look forward to using future versions and a lookaround your forum thanks
Interesting Man.
Will try asap. Thanks a lot.
Please enjoy

Thanks, my friend! If this topic will be followed with interest, even this version will have soon the same features of the Italian...
At this moment has already been downloaded 58 times and this topic 815 read... any comment? Some impression of use?
Really cool app!!
If you can implement summarization, it would be outstanding. Or you can give options to set offline update steps to more then 1 hour. for having, like half day review
Thanks for your comment, cadac.
I can certainly implement summarizations and more, but before I continue working on I would understand if it can affect the Users.
And 'I will improve the graphics but, I repeat, is important for me read your impressions of actual use.
Problem whn pressing "update"
I have an HTC Touch Viva with Manila2D v.3.0 build 31508. I have put "MeteoRay AW 1.2" in the Program Files folder.
I get two basic4ppc errors when pressing "Update": "__main_aggmeteo" and "__main_assegnadati".
Check your internet connection.
It is not yet optimized handling errors, but the messages you read are due to a failure to update.
PS - 158 downloads at this moment, no others comments or suggestions?
How do I get this to work with US locations? Especially the ones not in the default Manilla 2D weather database.
Thanks

Follow @twm65r on Twitter for updates.
Update 26th August 10 Due to twitter turning off Basic Auth, Twm6.5r will no longer work.
Update 04th October 09 Twitter are hosting their new "doesn't have an avatar" avatar on another server, causing error messages to appear. Like before to fix press Settings and then Reinstall / Update.
Update 10th July 09 Due to a change with Twitter and their image hosting new avatars can't be downloaded. You will see an error like '\Program Files\ArteseaTwitter\avatars\http:__a0.twitimg.com _profile_images298331929_twitty1_normal.jpg'. To fix press Settings and then Reinstall / Update.
Update 10th June 09 v0.5 with auto-refresh!
Update 17th May 09 Hopefully QVGA and WQVGA now supported, thanks codybear. (No changes to VGA and WVGA)
Update 12th May 09 Now highlights new tweets, and shows @replies
Update 7th May 09 VGA now supported, if you had previously downloaded the ZIP (even though it wouldn't work), please do it again. No other changes.
Having self taught myself MortScript in the last 24 hours I've decided to try and create a Titanium Twitter app. Unlike those already there, this one actually displays the 10 most recent tweets from your friends.
Features:
Displays the 10 most recent tweets on your Titanium Home Screen (value customisable)
Highlights "unread" tweets
Shows the last 3 @replies (value customisable)
Displays the avatars of your friends
Allows you to update your status
Tweets which contain URLs can be launched in the Default Browser by clicking on them
Define your own Twitter client/webpage to launch
Auto updates during the day (you choose the frequency and the hours)
Tweets at you when there is a new tweet from your friends.
Upgrade Instructions
Download the latest ZIP
Run Install.mscr
When prompted if you want it to Modify your CPR files say no (no changes here, and if you are using a custom theme it won't damage it).
Known Issues:
Your password is stored as Plain Text in the registry and it is passed in Plain Text to my servers (MortScript doesn't support BasicAuth, so I have to route the requests via my server)
Grey scale avatars don't display correctly, Titanium turn them multicoloured, their fault not mine.
Only works for WVGA/VGA/WQVGA/QVGA at the moment. I will work with people if they want to create alternate resolutions.
If your phone is asleep (when you press the power button) the script can't download the avatars and halts until the phone is woken again.
No Uninstall
Some characters (" ' £) might appear like & #123; if you see any please let me know.
The software is just a series of MortScripts.
The download ZIP file contains MortScript-4.3b5-PPC.cab for you, so if you don't already have Mort you will need to install this first.
The just run Install.mscr via any good file manager.
The Install script will download the latest package, create all the directories, modify the registry and if you let it tweak your CPR files.
If anything goes wrong you can find a backup of your CPR file in \Program Files\ArteseaTwitter\
WM6.5 Titanium Artesea Twm6.5r Version 0.5 Plans
Connects to the internet when you refresh or tweet (thanks mslug)
Settings menu
Auto refresh
Default Twitter Client / Website
Tidier errors
More HTML entities added to the list
Long Term Future Plans
Proper CAB file install
No routing via my servers to tweet
OAuth
Re-writing the code in something other than Mortscript (else the above isn't possible)
How to unistall
Artesea Twm6.5r doesn't do much damage, however below are instructions to remove it.
Your CPR files will have have a block of text like
Code:
<!-- ArteseaTwitter layout start -->
...
<!-- ArteseaTwitter layout end -->
just delete these and everything in between.
Just in case you will find backup CPR files before ArteseaTwitter was installed in the \Program Files\ArteseaTwitter\ folder
All the files installed on to the phone can be located at \Program Files\ArteseaTwitter\ just delete this folder
Registry settings are at \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\ArteseaTwitter\ again just delete these
i dont use twitter but this looks really nice
This looks great. Great job. You beat me to this. This kills my twitter panel.
cheers mate. this looks excellent. +1 for VGA when its done.

The VGA shouldn't be too hard, as there aren't really many differences between the CPR files. Hopefully will have something for people to download either Tuesday or Wednesday.
this looks outstanding!
mate you just realised my concept idea! i couldnt thank you enough! man so freaking great...
does this mean it wont show up in the system tray, but will do its work in the background?
would be nice to have the standard view of the plugin to be updating your status.. and then all the unread tweets as slides.. when slided over those they become unread.. and will vanish.. but still mate i already love it now.. cant wait to put it to the test!
Because it's all being written in Mort some features aren't possibe.
I have no way of knowing which tweet you are looking at to flag it as read, however I should be able to mark new tweets since last update (something I was planning until PaintShop crashed on me this morning when I was designing the icon)
It should be possible to build in an auto-update, however when Mort downloads the avatar it displays a dialogue box showing the progress. This could be a problem if you are using other apps. (Anyone here able to get the Mort command Copy() to download small jpg/png?)
With real work, nearly zero knowledge of designing apps for mobiles (I do websites) and a football match tonight most likely an early beta should be out sometime tomorrow.
very nice, cant wait actually
mmh for the time being until the image download issue is resolved you could give out 2 apps...
one with the jpeg download but manual update
one with a standardcoded image but with automatic update
this would be a little work around the problem but will do to test both things.
i hope the problems you have encountered up until now can be resolved, and if there is no solving the problem because of scripting limitations than we have to deal wiht it isnt it
what i would also like to see, further than the whats new ( what would be awesome ) is:
notification by sound/vibrate which you can set yourself
soft button to automatic scrolling to latest viewed tweet so you can from there scroll to the left to get to where the newest is.
mmh what about showing how many unread tweets? indicator as unreal email/sms/missedcall.. or will this mean it will only show the newest tweet gathered with the latest update? cause you dont know when a tweet will be read yes or no..
gl mate
I was planning to launch ArteseaTwitter v0.2 this morning, however testing it on a fresh X1 has shown some "issues"
For some reason it's not allowing me to modify the list of active plugins in the registery. Guessing something else is wrong and WM is restoring to default. As soon as this is fixed I'll upload the code.
Version 0.2 Released
Please see the first post for full details.
not working..
script cannot find the files to download at web location http://www.artesea.co.uk/arteseatwitter/
hey mate really nice that you can already show something usuable. will try it out within now and an hour sad it needs a server.. will it be always available?
hope we can see improvements soon..though its already ann awesome job
@jeep670 - are you able to use the Titatium Weather plugin, my code is a variation of this. How about trying to launch a webpage first, minimising the browser and then running the script again.
@strages - whilst it's written in Mort it will need to go via a third party site. I plan to learn how to write a real WM app but that could be a long way off.
working great with all the other plugins. I have added support for it in my most recent theme and it works great. One thing i cannot seem to accomplish is moving the test over to position 80 in the condensed form as well as add an icon for it. I have modded the registry and your code ot no avail. Just some thoughts I wanted to toss out to ya.
thanks for the hard work bro
Looks awesome!
Will we see a QVGA version as well in the future?
@mallman the registery only contains the text, if you are looking at moving the position it should just be a simple tweek to the Titanium cpr files. Haven't seen any icons on the condensed pages before (although I haven't play with any of the "themes").
@Star-Lite I'm gonna be busy for a bit, I hope to do a VGA skin next, but (W)QVGA might take some time (unless someone else wants to give it a go).
mmh i installed the wvga version on to my htc touch diamond which is a vga.. so i think that why i doesnt show up.. although i get the error that it cant connect... how do i uninstall the app

yes, the weather plugin works fine. my evdo connection is ok. tried what you suggested and still not working for me... the script returns error saying cannot find the files to download.
I guess I'll wait for the next version and try again. thx.
I'd like to announce my latest app, 3 months in the making: Avatar! Avatar is a photo dialer with the ultra-smooth scrolling and low memory footprint characteristics you love about iContact and iDialer.
Avatar is extremely easy to use:
Flick to scroll among your contacts. Contacts without pictures will not show up.
Tap an avatar to bring up details. This is where iContact integration kicks in: if iContact is installed, Avatar will use it. If not, it will bring up the standard contact manager.
Tap-and-hold on an avatar to call using that contact's "smart property": the one that shows up in the standard contact manager. "<m>" = mobile, "<w>" = work, "<h>" = home, etc.
That's it! Easy!
Avatar features:
low memory footprint - only around 100KB on VGA
Works on all screens: VGA, QVGA, WVGA, WQVGA, Square
AppToDate support
Ultra-smooth scrolling
Integrates with iContact and iDialer

WOW!
Works great on imate 9502 wm6.1!
Impressive, as always.
But, can we have a way to close the program?
However...
Fdc Task Manager show 0% cpu usage when minimized.
Am I wrong? Amazing if this is true
Toggle
I made Mortscript prg to toggle Avatat display on/off through HButton.
AT = ReadFile ("\Storage Card\My Todays\a.txt")
If (AT = 1)
AT = 0
Minimize (Avatar)
WriteFile ( "\Storage Card\My Todays\a.txt" , AT )
Exit
EndIf
Run ("Storage Card\Program Files\Avatar\Avatar.exe")
AT = 1
WriteFile ( "\Storage Card\My Todays\a.txt" , AT )
Exit
Just requires a folder named "My Todays" on the Storage Card, a simple text file in that folder named "a" containing either a "1" OR "0" to start.
Then create a shortcut to your windows start menu, then hook up with HButton.
How about the first contact icon (top left) and last icon in avatar to minimize?
Or a left to right swipe across screen to minimize?
This addition to the iContact/iDialer/GreenButton family is awesome!
nice work as always mate .
Excellent.
How about displaying a generic image/photo for contacts without custom pictures?

Nope, it's a simple install.
Closing Avatar....
If you touch the top right corner of the screen it will exit the program. (It stays running in the background though).
If you want it to COMPLETELY close after you exit, point your registry editor to
HKCU/SOFTWARE/SUPWARE.NET/AVATAR/exitOnMinimize
and change the value from zero (0) to one (1).
Hope it helps!

and just to add my feedback to Doug - another great piece of software, well done and another essential add-on to my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone).
Superb!

Thanks! I'm sure that'll be the answer
Its very, very good...
I'm thinking of using it instead of iContact even...
Atention that the link on http://www.supware.net/Avatar/ points to another thread.
Just a few thought, there could be some extra options to:
- See the default taskbar (easier to close)
- Close on action (I saw the registry tip and noticed they are both there, eheheh)
- Switch click methods (click to call, press to see info)
- See all contacts, the ones without photo would have the default avatar picture (some I just cant get a photo easily).
Thank you for another great work!
I tried it again, today, must have been my xperia, i rebooted it etc. Great app, I have been using while driving, lot easier and safer.

Thanks for the feedback! (and everyone else too)
I fixed the link on my web site, thanks. For your #3, I originally had it switched, but I ended up accidentally calling people all the time. I think the way it is now is safer. For #4, I thought about that too, but my list would then look like mostly default avatars with a couple pictures every now and then. In that case, using a photo dialer is more annoying than just a text list of names like iContact. I thought perhaps if changing it to display a "category" instead of "all contacts" it would be better to display default avatars, but right now it can't display a single category. Maybe in the next version
I really love this app. Possible enhancement: being able set the contacts to match a category. This way if you want only a certain group you can set that, like an office setting and weekend setting.

That's a good idea. I've been thinking how to best handle that, and how to integrate it with iContact.
Fantastic app.
On my Diamond some photo contacts appear distorced, would be nice an option to show the photos in the real proportions (cutting the top&bottom or left/right sides).

great app! don't add default avatar images, the point is that only your "favourites" are showing up - the people you cared to add image for.
for that reason, it may make sense to add an extra button to the iContact app (on the bottom) which would open the Avatar! For me that would be more useful than the current iContact favourites, which is only a(n incomplete) category filter (without separation/scrolling by first letter, nor the option to chose a category different than the favoured...)
Thinking in this way - best solution would be that the favourites button is changed to open avatar button.

MS needs to speed up the development on this app because iPhone's and Android's facebook apps are way better then what we're getting (haven't used blackberry's fb app yet)
Anytime
imho I think that if MS decided to not release this version for Pocket PC it means that they're preparing something better compared to the Smartphone version, and hopefully we'll have some updates for MWC
Fantastic! Working great on my HD2.
Thank you A LOT!
Big thank you for sharing this update with us!!! Isn't it strange that they released an update for smartphones and no update for PPC???
I think PPC's are more popular than smartphones...
Yeah, it's strange that they didn't posted that in the touchscreen marketplace, also because there's a huge version bump (from 1.0.0.7 to 1.1.0.14) and some very welcome new features; when first extracted the original CAB wouldn't even install on my HD2 so I had to build it from scratch, so hopefully they're doing something better for our WM Professional devices.
Scrolling is very very slow.. Need to drag using the scroll bar to scroll down faster.. Is there a fix?
working well on HD2, thank you! much appreciated

Will look into that, but as far as I know there's no solution. As it's an application released to work only on non touchscreen devices, they probably didn't put much attention into (kinetic) scrolling. If I had to scroll down faster I used the scroll bar, too, but imo that's not too much of a hassle
Thank you for this. its at least a little more usable then the rubbish microsoft have on the ppc at the moment.
Thank you mate, will give it a try.
love the new version but it remapped my volume keys to select items. so no volume control at all!!!
After trying it a while now I've noticed that this version is a big improvement... Friends pictures of their faces loads almost instantly, contact list and other stuff also loads much much faster than before. Plus the new comments feature is nice of course.
I've also noticed it caches face images (probably to make them load faster), you can move the cache with a simple change in the registry at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Facebook\ImageCache where you can see the Path...
I moved mine to Internal Storage (Internminne\FacebookCache)

There are a lot of new registry values added by Facebook after the first run like DeleteMailPeriod, UserActionPublished, V1, V2, V3, V4. The Path was something I had noticed while building the cab, I'm sorry I didn't told you about this entry buy I wanted to be sure that the app was stable for everyone.
In the meanwhile, I found a bug tho: FB app is not generating thumbnails for my (and my friends) photo galleries after I checked someone else album. Can you replicate them, too?
Great work!!
Is there a way to show not the news feeds, but the live feed?

I'm afraid it's still not possible
this would be soo awesome... in my opinion facebook is only good with the live feed.
But its a great app anyway!
Keep going!
Well now we just need two last features: chat and live feed... Let's hope they'll deliver them in the next update
Thanks a lot!

Description
Quick Links are okay, but you can not have a quicklink for everything. Or are you just conservative and want to have a launching tool on your PPC? WiMoRun enables you to run programs typing in their name or a keyword. You can start all executable applications within the whole device. With the T9 panel you can choose your apps even faster.
It runs on Windows Mobile > 6.0
If you have ideas to improve this app just let me know.
Features
- run programs by typing their names
- tag programs to get an alias i.e. calc will open favourite calculator
- autocomplete list in realtime
- application cache to boost speed
- T9 input panel for faster searching
- skinnable UI

Feedback
Feedback and reporting are desired, new feature requests, too.
I'd say it would be useful, especially if you save a list of recent applications, which is missing in 6.5. Dotfred's task manager has a run tool, and I use it all the time (it saves mru's).
I think with the Auto-Complete feature this app will be a time-saver, specially when you want to run or open something from Windows folder (you have scroll a long list to find what you want).
Thanks for your efforts!
Version 0.2 is online.
Improvements are a finger friendlier control-size and an autocomplete feature.
I like this app idea a lot.
Here are my suggestions:
- As you type, it presents a filtered list (filtering in real time) all the apps that fits the match as you type. Then you can just type the first few letters and select the app. Think of how Windows 7's start menu works. You start typing and it immediately gives you matches and gradually filters the list down as you type.
- A custom T-9 input panel, which can work with the above filtering feature as a more finger friendly alternative. It would work exactly as the dialer's numerical pad does to filter out your contacts by the letters associated with each number.
- Custom keywords for apps. Basically you can associate keywords with apps. So let's say you use Pocket Informant as you calendar app, but you just want to type 'calendar', you can associate it and it will launch it.

Genius idea!!!
Thanks for fast update!
I try it now.
Great application, really useful! Looking forward to updates.
Great Idea, could better
Hi i like the idea,
Autocomplete in this form is nice but imho its not practical enough, i still have to know the exact name of the app.
Have a look at "lauchy"for the pc, when you type it lists all applications that have the letters in them you type, regardless of the position.
So if you type "expl" you would get a list with "explorer" and "file explorer".
Cheers Marco
Thanks for your first feedbacks.
I will try to improve autocomplete and give a list of programs to chose matching the criteria. I also like the idea to tag programs. A T9-like input panel will also be on my list.
Very good idea but not a new one. This is basically a launcher program. Everyone, check out ZLaunchy program, it has t9 keypad and runs programs, contacts, docs, etc. I have assigned it to a hard button.
ZLaunchies Description says it only uses the programs in the start menu. WiMoRun is designed especially for those programs you might not have in a quick link program. running docs, contacts or other stuff may be integrated, too here
This is off topic and I apologize for that.
the pictures in the first post have fingerkeyboard2 with wider keys than the default one. I have been searching and trying to understand how to install a fingerkeyboard skin with wider keys (the default fingerkeyboard2 are smaller than the stock HTC HD2 keys).
Again, I apologies for this off topic remark, but this is the first time I found someone that has an example of what I have been looking for in a long time... and I have searched the forum.
@davidshooki
Please use private message instead. if you write me your email I can give you the CAB I use
[End of Off Topic]
@topic
Version 0.4 is out now. I integrated an autocomplete list substituting the one line autocompletion. Buttons are now replaced with softkeys. The program is also able to save tags/keywords now. If you type in the keyword, the linked application is opened.
a T9 panel is not yet implemented, I think that needs a little time.

Yes you're right.
but zlaunchy has a variety of features which your app should have as well(search via t9, search in contacts etc.).
zlaunchy is a great model for for winmorun since it's so lookalike.
As I remembered there was a win mobile smartphone app that had a lot of functions.
looked for files, sms, programs, contacts, it even calculated a formula if you inserted numbers(ex. you inserted 2+2 and it returned 4 on the result list)
I lost that app when I changed to winmo pro since it was shipped only with that phone model.
It was called VOQ from the sierra wireless VOQ phone.
Version 0.5 posted.
Now all executable files are held in this list. It doesn't matter if it's in the Windows or Programs directory.
To avoid long startup times the program generates an application cache. It can be renewed out of the options menu.
have fun
edit:
just fixed a bug and promoted it to 0.5a
Update again
Version 0.6 features the heavily wanted T9 input addon

version 0.7 is out now, but only for VGA. graphics scaling for lowres devices does not work the way I want it to. Maybe I'll find some nicer controlls, too.
custom skinning will be available in one of the next versions
Nice job! Here's an ico group, if you want it. It looks pretty good in the start menu (it's just hacked from shell32.dll).
