Pocket Quotes great on my Samsung Epix
I've been looking for a stock quote app for my Epix (320x320 screen) for quite a while. Couldn't find a free/inexpensive one that worked on my display.
Thought about trying to program one for myself, but it's been a long time since I've done any "real" programming. Found this app via the forums at basic4ppc and then found the CAB installation here.
I love it! It works great! Thank you for coding and sharing this!
Had a couple of suggestions for possible future enhancements beyond those you had listed above:
Display a progress bar or message when updating stocks.
Allow the user to change the font size for the list of stocks.
Allow the user to optionally turn on/off the display of the detail box and have a longer list of stocks shown.
Allow the user to optionally input a user-friendly name to display in place of the ticker symbol on the main list. e.g. "Ford" instead of just "F".
Allow user to specify the order of the stocks, or keep them in alphabetical order.
Optionally let the user choose to display the list either with alternating colors OR with color coded backgrounds in the list box which indicate postive changes (green), negative changes (red), or no change (gray).
Implement a settings dialog to allow the user to configure any options you implement.
Publicize this app more and provide a way for people to make donations to show their appreciation
As I said, I am very grateful that you built and shared this app. You did a great job making it smart enough to adjust the display to the device on which it is running.
My suggestions are just ways in which you might enhance it to allow your users to customize it more to their liking.
4/25 Update: Found one additional issue. Can't seem to download stock market indices. For example, the Dow Jones Industrial average (symbol "^DJI"). Looks like the "^DJI" is being turned into "%5EDJI" and then not returning any prices.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions - I had stopped working on this because it didn't look like there was any interest. I'll take some of your ideas and add them to the next release (which will be after I finish taking the PMP certification - preparing for that is taking up a lot of my spare time)
I'll check on the DJ symbols - they should work since it works within Yahoo and I'm using the Yahoo feed for updates.
also eur/usd parameter should b configurable as well...
good appz

I fixed the VGA display (Portrait only) and tested the Dow Jones - it doesn't work because "^DJI" is passed as part of the string and http doesn't like that. I need to urlencode it and see if that works.
I'll work on some of the other suggestions and get a developer's release out soon.
Version D-14
I have placed version D-14 (developer's release) on the main post. Unzip and copy to your PDA.
I have not implemented any of the excellent suggestions yet - I'm working on stabilizing the core functionality before I start adding to it.
Changes included in this release:
1. Added a splash screen on start-up (it's downloading stock updates in the background)
2. Fixed sort when adding stock symbol
3. Fixed VGA display (still only Portrait though)
4. URL encoded "^" for DJI - but it still doesn't work. I need to work with the Yahoo RSS feed to see why not
5. Fixed delete symbol bug (it didn't update all of the arrays, causing the wrong details to be displayed on a symbol)
For anyone with B4PPC, I added the source code to the zip file. Requires the ListView and fgControls library (included)
Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
UPDATE: Version D-14 uploaded to first post. I had left off a zero in the timer control, causing the program to refresh 6 seconds x setting - needed to be every 60 seconds per each minute in the setting.
Release D-15
Release D-13 has been uploaded to the main post
Changes:
1. Add downloading of stock chart when selecting stock symbol
2. Organized program images into gfx directory
3. Minor bug fixes & tweaks
Downloaded and tried D-15. Couple of new issues introduced.
Delete does not seem to be working for me. I can select it from the context menu, but after a brief delay it just repaints the screen without deleting anything. I can add stocks, but can't delete them without editing the pocketquotes.ini file.
Also the detail display is no longer displaying properly on my Epix (320x320 resolution). The bottom of the first row of characters with stock name is cut off, and I can only see the "Close" and "Highest" labels. The close price displays OK, but the Highest price gets truncated on the right (even though there is space on the screen to display it.) Also the bottom line which displays the last trade date is ovelaying other data and the bottom of the last trade text is also cut off.
Finally, in the Add dialog, it looks like there may be a display problem. But I think it was there before too. Below the label which says "Enter Stock", it looks like there is something there, but I can only see a few of the top pixels above the Cancel button.
Just reverted back to D-13 version, and it appears delete does not work for me with this version either. In this version, If I delete a stock, it is removed from the list. But it reappears when I close and reopen the app.
Do you have access to an emulator to see how it runs on a square screen device? If not I could probably figure out how to get a screen cap if it would help.

First, thanks for the feedback.
When you delete a stock, it should go to the download routine (it will display the download image) and then repaint the screen. On my PDA it does not put the symbol that was deleted back there.
Can you send me the stock symbols that you are using? I'll try a test with that.
As for the display on 320x320 - that is a resolution that I've always had mixed results with. I think I am going to remove the stock detail area at the bottom and display it when you click on the symbol (the one that shows the chart) This will make it easier to program as I can use the entire available screen for listing the stocks.
I'll check the add code. I may need to add a refresh or something to force a screen update. There should be a panel with an input box. I did notice it does a refresh download (which it shouldn't do at this point)
Last, I'll install the emulators so I can run some additional testing.

I have uploaded D-16 to the main post.
Changes:
1. Stock detail info moved to chart page; main page only shows list of stock symbols
2. Moved "Add Stock Symbol" from pop-up panel to new page; should display
I am in the process of setting up the emulators, but since function has been moved off onto a separate page, they should display properly on all screen sizes (portrait mode only)
Display Issues on Samsung Epix
Looks like Version D-16 still has some issues on my phone.
It appears that the details display area shrunk between version D-13 and D-15.
D-13
D-15
And the chart display area grew between version D-15 and D-16.
D-15
D-16
In terms of the Add Panel, it looks pretty much the same in all three versions, and is functional. Is there some text cut off which is peeking up from behind the cancel button on my display?

In the attached images, note that the ^DJI chart does display. It's just the quotes for ^DJI and other indices that don't work. Maybe a clue to fixing it? Or maybe not.
I still can't delete any symbols from the UI. I'm going to try deleting the ini file, since it was originally created with an old version, and manually edited on my PC. I figure a fresh start couldn't hurt and so far I don't have many symbols to re-add anyway. Will let you know how that works out.
I like the idea of the combined chart and details screen. If you can figure out how to get the display area for details to be sized right (as it was in D-13), then maybe you could use whatever is left on the screen to display the chart.
Also meant to add, that the display of the actual stocks on D16 works well. Just missing the data for the market indices.
I appreciate the work you are putting into this. I think you are on your way to a great little utility here.
Tried with a brand new .ini file. Similiar issues. It appears that you created a default .ini with the auto companies. I deleted all except HMC without issue. Then I added all the symbols I had before. And tried to delete several. None could be deleted. Except the HMC one. Then I couldn't delete others. The only thing I could see was that HMC was first entry on the list in the .ini file. And the remainder of the entries were NOT in alphabetical order. Are they supposed to be in alpha order in the .ini file? Could it be that the indices are somehow messing things up?

That sounds like it could be the problem why it's not deleting; the "^" symbol is messing things up.
The screen display is cutting off some information on the 320x320 display (works ok on VGA and QVGA) - I have some code that I need to apply to setting the form for 320x320. It's really a simple calculation where if the display is 320 I use an offset factor of 1.25, and if its VGA I use an offset factor of 2. I just need to apply this for your display.
Thanks for the images - it helps me to see what is happening. I'm having trouble getting the networking to work within the emulator so it's not downloading stock data (I may have to build an off-line mode to work around this)
I'll get an update back to you later today.
Version .19
Developer's Release .19
1. Added "splash" screen when updating stocks
2. Added configuration to change list row colors
3. Moved stock info to graph screen - main shows only list of stocks
4. Fixed sort when adding new stock
5. Fixed SIP when adding stock
Still working on some of the other suggestions.
I will cab this on the next release. I'm going to add in a update from web feature (I just implemented the same on pocket quotes) so that users can be sure that they always have the latest version.

Thank you for making a stock quote program. I have been looking for a long time and there are relatively few programs that work well. I like many of the things you have done but there are some things I like from other community members. Please take a quick look at the post below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476613
I like the way each stock line shows red or green depending on stock up/down or profit/loss. Also, its nice to have the added screen space that the scroll bar takes up. Perhaps the scroll bar is not needed?

User Contributed Skins
Voyd Black (VGA) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543255
To Do
- Finger friendly configurator: Make sure all options are available in it
- Consistent number formatting (maybe) so it all shows up as (xxx) xxx-xxxx
- Suffix in details view too
- More actionable details items (google maps for address?)
- Category selection menu is not very friendly...
- Make use of HTC sensors - maybe the wheel can quickly scroll through the list and swiping left to right can change which number is in the list
- Customize order of items in bottom menu
- Details view needs a scroll bar just like the main view
- When doing a keyboard letter jump and then immediately going into a T9, it will still jump around by scrolling instead of being instant.
- With the "exit on action" option checked, calls initiated thru iContacts AE will INTERMITTANTLY cause the in-call screen to disappear

Latest changes
Current Version: 7.0.6
- You can now disable iContact's ability to dial using the hardware phone dial key (the "green" button) and quit/minimize when pressing the hardware hangup (the "red" button). If, like me, you remap all your hardware buttons, including phone buttons, this will be most welcome. It is enabled by default since most people expect default behavior from those buttons. See below for information about the setting.
- New setting: EnablePhoneKeyHook = Enables hardware phone key support above (enabled by default) <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .clng file.
- Added USSD support for dialing star (*) numbers on phone systems that support it. THIS IS ENABLED BY DEFAULT since it is supported on most networks. Contributed by Constantin Lushnikov.
- New setting: EnableUSSDStarDialing = Enables USSD support (above) <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .clng file.
- Added better birthday / anniversary support. Contributed by Constantin Lushnikov.
- Added the ability to set the ringtone from within iContact AE. Note: Press and hold to clear a custom ringtone. Contributed by Constantin Lushnikov.
- New language file entry (.lng file): selectringtone - Text displayed when selecting a custom ringtone <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .lng file.
- New language file entry (.lng file): ringtonesavefailed - Text displayed when a ringtone cannot be set <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .lng file.
- New language file entry (.lng file): noringtone - Text displayed when the default system ringtone is being used for a contact (no custom ringtone) <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .lng file.
- There are new skin icons associated with the custom ring tone, anniversary, and birthday. All built-in skins have been updated. These are "small icons." Look at the bottom of the default.skn file for skinning info on these icons.
- New skin contribution: OSX Colored.
- If you add a number to a new or existing contact after receiving/making calls from that number, the entry in the call history will now be updated with the correct name in the main list (it always did link to the correct item in the details). This overrides the entry that is actually in the call log. If there is demand, I'll make an option to toggle this, but I can't see why anybody would want out of date information in the call log.
- Call history now updates its entire call log cache after you make changes to contacts. Previously, you had to toggle through call log modes or restart iContact to get certain details in the call history updated, such as pictures.
- Call history now correctly labels all unknown numbers as UNKNOWN in the detail view. There were cases previously where the number would appear in the title.
- Using a new method to detect the SpeedThresh. The previous method used a timer and there was a variable performance depending on when you let go of your finger versus where the timer was in its ticks. The new method uses tick counts during the finger movement events. It seems to be a much more consistent user experience.
- Fixed a bug where when you looked at contact details from the call log view, frequently the details bottom menu buttons would be unresponsive.
- New setting: CallLogDetailsBackToCallLog = When enabled, when you press the back button on contact details from the call history view, it will return to the call history view (as opposed to jumping to the contacts list) <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .clng file.
- In some cases, the SIP would still show if a stubborn 3rd party process made it appear after iContact received activation, but before the user gets a chance to interact with iContact. So, a timer now waits a second after receiving input focus and makes sure the SIP is hidden.
- The installer will no longer ask if you want to use the existing settings.ini on upgrade. If your existing settings.ini is corrupt, then uninstall and reinstall in TWO STEPS where you will be given a chance to use the default settings.ini.
- The installer now sets the registry setting needed by idialer so idialer knows how to find iContact AE when you select iContacts from within iDialer. (This is untested as I don't use iDialer! Please let me know if it works!)
- Added BMP as a valid file type for assigning a picture to a contact.
- Call log database update notifications are now buffered, so that if four or five updates fire in succession, only a single reload operation will occur. This should improve call log responsiveness in certain circumstances when reloading would unnecessarily occur several times in a row.
- Long-tapping bottom menu items now uses the same delay in the settings. It was previously hardwired to 700ms. The main reason for this change is that long-tapping bottom menu items will increasingly do alternate functions in later versions of iContact AE. Currently, most of the time a long-tap is nearly always the same response as a short-tap.
- Fixed a bug where iContact (and possibly the entire phone) would freeze if an empty category is opened. Contributed by Constantin Lushnikov.
- Workaround contributed by [kab] on xda to fix Samsung call history problem.
- New setting: SamsungHistoryWorkaround = (disabled by default) Changes the way the call database is read to workaround a call history bug on certain Samsung models. <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .clng file.
- New setting: OpenSettingsOnLongTap = (enabled by default) Open the icontact config application by long-tapping the contacts button on the main window <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .clng file.
- New setting: MinimizeOnAction = (disabled by default) Causes iContact to go to the back of the window z-order after performing an action. Normally, iContact hides (goes right behind the dialer or whatever). Minimizing will put iContact to the back of the z-order, so it is not the first window to appear after completing an action. This is an alternative to exiting after action if you want iContact to go away, but not close. <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .clng file.
- New setting: UseClearTypeFonts = (enabled by default) Specify whether you want iContact to render fonts using ClearType smoothing. The default is enabled, which is the same as previous versions. Contributed by Constantin Lushnikov. <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .clng file.
- New setting: ShowRingToneInDetails = (enabled by default) When enabled, the ringtone of each contact is displayed in the details view. Clicking on the ringtone allows you to change it. Contributed by Constantin Lushnikov. <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .clng file.
- New setting: T9EnglishAsPrimary = When enabled (disabled by default), T9 search will always use English as the primary keyboard (user language becomes the secondary keyboard). Please note in older versions English was ALWAYS primary. Contributed by Constantin Lushnikov. <-- Anybody who can add this to the help for other language files (non-english), please PM me the new .clng file.
- New language: Swedish. App translation only (no config translation). Contributed by Lilleolov.
- New language: Greek. App and setting translation (no help translation). Contributed by acrocosm.
you are our superman!
ok, i wish you luck with this.
I think that if this Avian edition were to combine BE with the other version's new ability to retain the windows titlebar, it would be the absolute perfect version.
Great.
Keep us posted.

It is much simpler than the other version, since in BE you just have to say so in the config program.

Hey, this is great news!
I was just looking at the Trubert thread today, disappointed that another new Supbro version had just been released and Burt's edition falling further behind... and was very happy to see you are taking over the development.
Best of luck, and looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

The first step will be finishing the nearly finished Burt's 7.0. He says it's 90% done. Actually, from my testing, the app IS done, it's the finger-friendly config app that needs to be finished, which shouldn't be hard since its mostly just filling in settings. It looks like the engine is (mostly?) done.
Unfortunately, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit, I'm not a super-savvy C++ developer. I'm a super-savvy .Net developer, so getting a handle on some of the C++ stuff will take me time. That's part of the reason I want to solicit as much developer help as possible from others. I would love it if this could be a project with four or five developers working in tandem to add lots of cool new features at a faster pace than in the past. Plus, obviously, having the source code publicly available helps "keep it in the community" should I disappear someday and somebody else want to create their own branch. ;-)
As for an exact date, I don't want to say because then people will say "HEY YOU HAVEN'T RELEASED YET" hahaha. ;-)
Give me some weeks to get a handle on this. I'm working on other projects as well, so my time committment will vary. But if we get more developers, the development will go quicker. That is certain.

But Burt didn't make it. Burt took over the old source too.
Of course this must remain in the documentation, but I don't see why it should be mentioned IN the program.

You are right. I should have been more clear on that. But for the version coming out, the NEW stuff will be 99% Burt, so we should remember who did the work! The version number will be optional on the screen (default: on), so you can keep it or not. The version number will also be available in the config.

NotepadWS ver 2.7
NotepadWS is a notepad-like application with TABS feature and some interesting tools such as the WEB SEARCH.
The Web Search (context menu) allows you to get google, wiki or dictionary contents about the word or text selected from NotepadWS,
it could be a good way to perform your search quickly and easily!
FEATURES
- Edit up to four different text files in the same session.
- Switch from one tab to another with just one click.
- Ability to add or remove tool bars at any time.
- Configure each tab separately.
- Online search of selected word or text; google search, wiki search, dictionary.
ver 2.0
- Open and Save dialogs totally redesigned to be more useful and finger-friendly
- Settings page added
ver 2.55
- File association works propely
- Max file size supported increased
- Word-wrap options added
- Copy and paste between different tabs added
- Cmd ExitAll added
- File and Folder Shortcuts feature added

- Tab character enabled (by pressing tab button you get column alignment)
ver 2.57
- Overwrite related bug fixed
- Read-only related bug fixed
ver 2.7
- External clipboard functions added
tabs improved
Now NotepadWS allows to configure and save the properties of each tab,
so you can have 4 tabs completely different one from another;

start folder and other properties you can configure through the settings page.
Instead, if you prefer to configure all the tabs in the same way, you don't need
the repeat the setup more times, just setup one and check "apply to all tabs"
in the settings page.
Requirements
- Windows Mobile 5.0 or later
- Touchscreen device

Hello,
Your program is very interesting, but I can not use just one problem you encounter, and it is important: only lets you open documents in the folder "my documents" in the main memory device. You should modify the program to allow open and save files in any folder on the device memory and the external memory card.
I have not tested whether extensions can also be associated with your program to automatically open when clicking those files from the file explorer program.
If I could use it widely, as I need, I would donate a sum of money for it, in that there is a problem.
Sincerely,

Hello,
True, I had not noticed having to click twice (or press "enter") to run this option to access all folders on the device.
What if I notice that you can not open large files, not size, but more than 100 KB can not be with them.
Nor could I see if you can associate text files "txt" to open this program directly from file explorer.
Sincerely,
Hello,
I've been testing the program further NotepadWS, which I consider a good application, but there are two problems with it:
I have seen two important issues that prevent me from replacing AgileNotesTouch, which is what I use now, for NotepadWS:
1 .- NotepadWS not allow it to associate with files by extension, to boot automatically with this application. For example, if you associate files "txt" with NotepadWS ... file does not start with "txt" open.
2 .- I do not know NotepadWS maximum size allowed, but a file of 100 KB or more does not open properly. AgileNotesTouch allows very large files sizes, without problems.
It is important that NotepadWS could solve these two problems.
Sincerely,

Hello Xdait,
Now he has been magnificent NotepadWS v2.5 program. Only one small detail I see in my device (VGA) and is the icon of your program in the file explorer leaves very large, so you see only a quarter of the icon ... only that detail.
I just made a donation through PayPal by using the program, as I indicated. I hope you get well.
Sincerely,
Looks interesting, just what i was looking for. Any chance for WQVGA in future?
Thank you a lot JCM!
2.5 -> 2.51
- Now app memorizes the folder of last file used for the next launch
- File shortcuts list added, to open registered files with just one click
QVGA version, probably i will do it, but don't know exactly about the time i need
2.51 cab installer at first post

@xdaid, appreciate the effort you've put in to this app so far. It has a lot of promise.
I've been playing with it off and on since the 2.0 release. It has not replaced me using AgileNotes (which has its own set of issues for me) on a regular basis, but I look forward to the possibility.
Here are my suggestions and please note I understand you have a life and your own set of requirements when you code, so I know maybe none of these comments might be used...
1. if you can support PWI files
2. if you can handle files with carriage return + linefeed end of line terminator (eg, DOS, windows based text files). Right now, files with CR+LF show up as unprintable characters
3. if you can allow for a default file folder on startup. Use the file shortcut UI you just implemented and apply it to select default, and/or favorite folders. I see you've just implemented it to memorize the last used folder, that is a good start and should be retained unless a default folder is specified.
4. allow for a default file type (eg, TEXT, LOG, etc). Currently always defaults to TEXT when you restart the app.
5. suggest adding or putting an EXIT APP type selection/option in your "cmd" CLOSE action list. Right now it has "X" to only close the active tab, but you have to go to the MAIN MENU to exit the app. Just does not seem intuitive in my opinion.
6. allow the user to select a default background color, font size, and font color if possible (to override system defaults). I realize this suggestion may be difficult or out of scope.
Future wish list, knowing it would likely require extra effort as you may not have the development environment to test on:
a. support the newer WM 6.5.x layout with the STARTMENU and "X" button on the bottom of the screen, or at least detect you are running on the newer versions and keep that bottom bar accessible.
b. use a better file selection UI. Right now, at least on my device, you have to tap on the actual scroll bar to scroll. It should be smooth and fluid like some of the default file selection interfaces in AgileNotes or even Resco File Explorer.
c. allow similar option like Resco or Total Commander for double or single tap to open a directory or file in your selection UI.
Again, thank you for the time and effort you have invested in to this application thus far.

@xdaid. Sweet! Did a quick test run, and seems you incorporated many of my suggestions. Nice work so far.
Only major concern right now is:
- allowing up/down scroll gestures in the file selection UI without actually having to tap directly on the scroll bars. Trying to do a scroll gesture typically selects the item your finger first lands on - basically seems the filename/directory listing of that UI reacts to single tap picking only.
Other than that, my left overs from my prior wish list post are still items:
(1) pwi support and (a) winmo 6.5.x UI support
Again those are not critical, just something for down the road - if even possible.
It's pretty close to being my daily editor and that's saying a lot. Keep up the great work.
Please re-download 2.55 cab installer
i forgot to include a small bug fix, now the cab is updated.
@ powinmo: scroll gesture in file selection UI should not be a problem, i will implement it soon.
Instead, pwi support could be quite hard to realize, i have some ideas about how
extract text from / save text to pwi files. Just ideas so far, but i can try..
regards
Thx for update works a treat

@xdaid - appreciate your continued work on the app! Looking forward to seeing that file selection UI more usable and closer to how others UIs act.
As for pwi support, I would put that priority at the very bottom and address any other items you feel are more important.
I do have one additional request after using your app a bit more now:
- add the ability to recognize a scroll up/down gesture versus highlighting text when editing. Right now, when you try to do that the editor strictly acts as if you want to mark text for an action (eg, copy, looking, etc). To scroll through a long document, you have to literally tap on the scroll bar versus the natural inclination of using a gesture.
Other than that, I'm almost sold on trying to the app as my regular editor. Thank you for being so receptive to user comments and suggestions!
For those who like to use the tab character to get fixed spaces / column alignment:
I added a 2.56 version, it's the same as 2.55 but tab character is enabled.

Hello Stefano,
I think your application becomes an application program is essential to our Windows Mobile devices. You've got an editor and text file reader very versatile and practical, ingenious solutions. Thanks for your good program.
Sincerely,
I've been looking for a nice notepad app for a while now, this looks pretty nice . Thanks for sharing!
I have a bit of a request: would you consider adding file 'scheme' functionality. Say you are looking a reg file, the 'scheme' would highlight certain predefined key words or phrases making it more readable. The same could then be true for .xml, .mscr or any other file that can be read by notepad. You think that would be doable?

First, the thanks. To all at XDA, cos we rock To Showaco for the base code, to nosedive for the mods done on it and anyone else who worked on TitaniumWeather in the past. Also to Sleuth for his myLocation service.
TRITaniumWeather is a multi-location, multi-feed, multi-display, flexible weather application.
Usually there's some screenshots here, but the program has changed a lot in the latest release candidate, I need to take some new snaps
Features
Expressed in C# using the .NET Compact Framework 3.5, it is as Fast as HTC Sense and in some ways, superior.
Location database of over 3000 locations.
MyLocation aware supporting Sleuth's myLocation service, HTCGeoService, and Google Latitude.
Supports Accuweather, WorldWeatherOnline, and Yahoo feeds.
Supports Accuweather & Yahoo coded themes.
HTML report generated and styled (configurable) for easy viewing.
iPhoneToday each location generates a page.
Titanium panel and current conditions overlay.
S2U2 weather text and icon.
Today current conditions icon over your wallpaper.
Easily configurable and reports visible through its GUI.
Supports custom extensions.
What's this GPL thingy?
The GPL can be viewed here. It makes sure your rights as a user are protected to distribute/change/use this Free software as you wish. A copy is included with the program.
Version and Release Info
The main release contains the cabinet installer file. Updates are produced as plain archives, to use the latest update you need to download all the archives and unzip them into your existing TRITaniumWeather folder in order, overwriting any existing files. Versions are numbered just like any good Open Source project:
The first number is the major version.
The second is the minor version-odd numbers are development for the next stable even number.
The third number is the release number-these have feature improvements.
If there is a fourth, it's a critical bugfix release number.
E.g. This program starts at 5.9.0 which means it's preparation for the stable release 6.0.0.

A cool icon for the executable files. My Attempt is the TRITaniumWeather.png included with SuperNova...
Tweak the plg file further, text currently drops below the panel line.
5.9.9pre and below
I would consider these complete as mortscripted versions. Enhancements and bugfixes are welcome from anyone working on them.
thanks for the info buddy.
This version totally rocks out! Thanks for all the hard work!

YOU! Yes, I mean you. Help me out by doing one of the following jobs:
Icon, I tried one of the HTC ones from the theme, but the CAB wouldn't install. For now, just the mortscript icon. If anyone can inject an icon into the exe files that'd be gravy!
More Feeds? Anyone want Yahoo weather, PM me, and if lots of you want it then I'll try and add it.
Full database control; add is done, needs delete/replace, possibly import?
It would be cool to add the radar page again.
HTCGeoService support (Can get location data: Only state switching/sensing to do!)
Configurable Panel/HTMLView layouts.
Wherever you see a "Stub!" statement would be a good place to help, it'll tell you which file and which sub function to look at. Some stuff is just low priority at the moment...

Hi
First thank you for sharing your work, it's very well done! Since I don't use titanium any more, you mentioned in the 1st post it will work without it, can you tell how?
2nd- If you want to change the Mortscript icon, you can use this very nice app called Png2exe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829932 and read my post related to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10009299&postcount=33
Here's an example
@tito12: I was going to say thanks but that exe really disagreed with my device
I was thinking of something like the sun icon from the HTC theme, but it didn't look so good when I used resource hacker to put it in there.
I know how they're put in but it's a low priority-I was hoping someone else could pick up the burden :sarcastic:
To answer your question, you can set the script to auto-update. It doesn't care whether titanium is running or not for that. Then you just go into the options app and "view stored weather" as the manual says. I'd recommend switching off status during updates though-it's really only necessary to see if something is going wrong. Or if you like status messages
Hi,
Thanks to share the information about “TRITaniumWether” and “Accuweather”. I have HTC HD and I know about “TitaniumWeather”. Good application for checking the weather.

What do you mean by "disagreed", the program Png2Exe doesn't work on your device or the exe I attached didn't ? If it's the second case this was just an example and I chose the first icon I found
@tito12: Yeah, it seemed to just keep respawning when I ran it. It could be cos my rom's getting a bit dirty with all the crap i put on it, probably time for a hard reset shortly!
Did anyone else have any better experience with it? Or was inspired enough to try out the software and inject some icons? I'm kinda busy with 5.9.3 atm...

As promised in my PM here are the files
Awesome glad to see tiweather thriving! I will give this a whirl, the html interface sounds good to me...thanks bro.
TRITaniumWeather 5.9.3
New release on the first page people, see the changelog for details!
You'll need to delete any remaining DB files after install as there is now only one and the old ones are incompatible.
I'll note here that the "Create Titanium Panel..." option is EXPERIMENTAL, that doesn't mean it doesn't work-it just means it's incomplete or there's an issue with it. This is an ideal place for you Titanium Wizards to help me out
Unfortunately Yahoo Weather didn't make it into the release. I've only had one vote for that functionality to date so far.
If you really want it, take an existing feed and modify it-don't bother with the yahoo widget script posted earlier in the thread. I read it and it is horrible code, seriously. Instead you'll need to update SearchXML() or write a new function as the Yahoo feed uses mostly XML attributes, which SearchXML() will skip. All the necessary info to define a new feed is in the TRITaniumWeatherFeeds.mscr file, along with SearchXML() and some other necessary tools, like the weather downloader. One thing I'll say is, only put one exit in and if the weather update fails, make it false
@ai6908: Hey there! Think of TRITaniumWeather as tiweather on steroids, with the grace of a balerina and class of a dutchess
EDIT: Minor bugfix for multiple panel support posted.
First of all, thanks for your great work. I just gave up fighting with titanium weather and then TRITanium Weather came up
In order to get German weather text I added &"&lang=de" to urlsuffix in TRITaniumWeatherFeeds.mscr on Line 162.
(screenshot attached)
Maybe you want to include different weather text languages in version 6.0.0.
I also translated the labels in the Titanium Panel (feels like, winds, gusts etc.) in an earlier version.
Do you plan to include different languages in 6.0.0 ?
I could do the German translation.
I certainly do, it's on the todo list. Excellent work! I know how the UI can be translated for any language but it'd been nagging me on how to get the weather text done!
For translations of the rest of the program: The language framework in FoddLib features a translator (you can type in translations, it doesn't do it itself!) which I'll use to grab language files for the different parts. Keep the translated phrases in a seperate text file and then I can match them up with their english counterparts. Cheers!
oh, i skipped your ToDo-List , sorry
Looking forward to 6.0.0
TRITaniumWeather 5.9.4
5.9.4 is released. Check the changelog for details of new features/modifications.
You'll want to uninstall the TRITaniumWeather plugin from Titanium if you're a WM6.5 user as panels are handled in a totally different way with 5.9.4.
Also, I reached the file attachment limit on the front page so I've moved the main cabinet installer across to my megaupload account, the users manual has also been updated and is present in the attachments. Hopefully, it'll stay up to date!
Enjoy!
like promised, my German translation.
Just put it in
TRITaniumWeather\languages\TRITaniumWeather\
and change language in the options.
You have a new reply in your inbox with translation into spanish. Let me know if you haven't received it. Good WORK!!!!
TRITaniumWeather 5.9.4.1 bugfix update
Afternoon weather lovers,
The new language support highlighted two bugs which are both now fixed in the zipfile available on post #1. Just unzip in the main program directory, overwriting any existing files-Espanol.txt needs to go into the obvious directory.
Thanks go to djkail for the Spanish translation. I think you'll like the display you get since it's called Espanol buddy I think that's enough confirmation that the language codes presented here work-so name your language file according to the first two letters of the language code and you shouldn't go too far wrong. If it's a majorly different name, just use a prefix, for example "sq - Albanian.txt" (I haven't tested it, don't complain if it doesn't work! ) should work, the only file that can't be renamed is English.txt but that's ok cos 'en' works
BTW, these two fixes took less than 5 minutes to implement this morning (I wanted to test till now) and they're rock solid. I'm not a great programmer!-But the code's broken down so much now that it really is simple to jump in and change bits without affecting the rest of the system too much.
If any of you are interested, I think 5.9.5 should introduce configurable view layouts. I've a couple of ideas on how to do it but either one relies on quite a major modification to the feed processors and if you don't want *total* control over what you see on the panels then it might actually be more work! Any thoughts on what you want in that area? Or if you've a way to get the job done, that's welcome too
Enjoy!
i hard reset my mega and reinstall tritanium, but it does not appear on the screen. i check with chome editor, the panel not there. why?? before this (before hard reset) the weather only appear as ":25C " instead of "25C Mostly Cloudy" etc. this was on 2.9.3.1
there's an error when trying to connect to weatheronline, it says the comma is wrong position.
Hello!
I'm reviving an old program of mine, for windows mobile, which I hope is still working on current phones.
I actually do not intend to develop it further, but I thought it might be interesting for this forum users nonetheless.
So here it is (contents taken from my site on http://www.opbyte.it/optasks/):
OPTasks is a Task list (or Todo list) for PocketPC. It is compatible with the windows mobile bundled software (pocket outlook), but it is different because:
- It is more flexible
- The task list can hold more tasks in a single screen because of smaller font
- Same for categories, and the list is scrollable
- Keyboard shortcuts for fast navigation
- Four filters to control task list contents
- Quink insert mode: to create a new task, just type the subject and click enter! (version 0.5 and newer only)
OPTasks is offered to you as freeware. See the application's about box for more info.
download from: http://www.opbyte.it/optasks/download.html
Can someone check if the program works on windows mobile 6.5? Thanks
