- On some devices, Facebook throws out an error message while trying to poke someone.

Thanks!!
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!

WARNING!!!
Twitter will turn off Basic Auth at the end of August,
when this happens Twm6.5r will stop working.
I no longer own a Windows Mobile Phone or
have the time to create a work around using OAuth.
WM6.5 Titanium Artesea Twm6.5r
Version 0.5
VGA, WVGA, QVGA and WQVGA Currently Supported

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

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

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.

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

VGA/WVGA. It also works (in theory) on QVGA, but it may not run well due to older devices being slower.
Looks and runs nicely on my Blackstone, have noticed a few things though:
- the blue squares shake a lot if you press and hold the screen...not sure if it's intentional but personally I feel the 'vibration' effect isn't too nice to look at.
- when scrolling on the apps screen some program names get broken. For example: 'FreeUpRam' becomes 'FreeUP' and 'pTravelAlarm' becomes 'pTravelAl'. The scrolling motion is also a bit jumpy.
- could not find a way of returning from bing search to the main screen without exiting the app and reloading it.
- pictures tab does not see images on the SD card in \Storage Card\My Documents or \Storage Card\DCIM (it would be nice if it could be set in the settings to look at 2 paths - storage and phone)
- none of my music is listed (also stored on storage card).
VERY nice start though! I'll be watching this one!
...also for some reason your website just comes up grey on my PC in IE8.
sweet, why not put it on your diamond2?
what are your thoughts on changing the faded black background to pitch black?? I am guessing you're trying to make it look like what's shown in the microsoft demos on that prototype device...? That's probably due to the display on that device though and i'm going to take a wild guess and say MS will make it black like on the zune hd when it's done. Or maybe you have a different reason for it?
cool

Hello

Live tiles (Javascript based, set a URL in the settings to your own)
Program launcher
Lock screen
Upcoming features:
More hubs (give me ideas!)
Better animations
More social network integration

going to go try it out its going to look good
wm7
keep gettin a error when i launch the app
are you using windows form control/user control to display items? You can't get any smoother animation with windows form controls, because everytimes the control Location changes, it repaints itself regardless and as you can see it is very resource consuming. You gotta paint individual control for better performance.
But overall, it's looking pretty nice
I trie on my ELF P3450 and runs fine but a little bit slower, understand that, older device...
Very nice app... any chance to edit menu ( the right side)???
ohhh...and tell the trick to unlock screen i spend about 2 min to find out...looool
Feedback
I tried this on opal (201mhz processor) qvga screen.
I can tell one thing its just awesome on my device i didnt expected it to be so smoothe (iam comparing this with the preview version) its much smoother just one thing on home screen while scrolling the tiles move with hands thats absolutely smoothe but for some time it leaves a trace of the tile say 1 or 2 seconds if u fix that u can officially say its compatible with qvga.
I expect more pages, more likelyness to original wp7
Hey Jaxbot,
It's getting better - the only that has disappointed me with this build (as opposed to the one I've tested for you) is the animations seem to have got slower rather than faster - especially for the people hub.
I see you have fixed some bugs - some still remain but I will not double report those.
A new one, it's nice to see you've added the contact surname, however, it is now shown underneath the next person's first name (i.e. you've not given it enough space/padding).
The same goes for the program list (the second part of the program name is cut off). good to see it's actually working now - though still not scrollable.
The live tiles still take a long time to animate out/in.
More to come...
Casey
Update: In qvga device there is no tile for images.
Plus this homescreen needs kinetic scrolling its a must coz scrolling between the left and right pages is excellent the animation is perfect but scrolling down is little hard so i am saying kinetic scrolling please add in next version.
very nice start.
theres alot of shaking around on the icons, and arent any smooth transitions. btu seeing as this is version 1, im sure that you will refine it in the coming weeks
i look forward to the more refined version. good work and thanks for the download!

This app is awfull
I'm running it on my HP614C, WM6.5 with a 520Mhz processor.
It's stille pretty slow, but it surely is an improvement over the alpha release!
Keep it coming

- when scrolling on the apps screen some program names get broken. For example: 'FreeUpRam' becomes 'FreeUP' and 'pTravelAlarm' becomes 'pTravelAl'. The scrolling motion is also a bit jumpy.

My guess is they are taking up more room than available, which means the auto-font size is broken. I'll look into it.

The hardware arrow button on my device works for that, but I'll add a software button for people who don't have one.

Interesting, and yes I noticed that. The problem is that most testing was on the Device Emulator at QVGA resolution, so the fonts worked perfectly on low res. I'll play with the numbers at get that fixed.
About the speed being lower, I'm confused by that, as not much was added (just fixes from the list you sent me). By chance do you have anything running in the background?
Otherwise, I'm still working on speeding up the animations, expect some changes soon

I'm under the impression this is an English-only forum, but I'll answer your concerns as best I can.
1robably takes too much memory.
2:Obviously, since it's QVGA, it runs slow. (since the device is older)
3:I don't know what to say, because .NET CF handles all that.
4robably due to #3.

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

v0.7a (VGA only, Non VGA is WIP)
- crash problem after generating cache is resolved.

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).
