[Intro]
The result of a bored uni student on holidays, mConvert is a Windows Mobile unit converter.
And now, Version 2 of that slick, finger friendly converter is out. After much feedback suggesting more categories would be good, I have added 10 categories, meaning you can now convert in the following categories:
Area
Length
Power
Temperature
Velocity
Computers
Force
Frequency
Volume
Weight
Acceleration
Cooking
Energy
Pressure
Torque
This is now a powerful converter app, able to rival many of the other converters on the market. And best of all? It's still FREE!! But as before, donations are kindly accepted (on FreewarePocketPC site).
I have tried to make the UI as attractive as possible, as this makes or breaks an app in my opinion. Hope you like it.
I decided to make the app free as nobody likes paying for this stuff, including myself. The aim of mConvert was not only to make an effective converter for mobiles, but to also showcase the potential Windows Mobile has.

Hi, thanks for sharing this app....and welcome to the forums..
I have just downloaded and tried it out and I must say its the best looking converter I've seen and really easy to use too, works great on my HD2
Thanks again!
No worries mate, thanks for the great feedback!
Hope you enjoy it!
I agree. Simple and easy to use.
Just wondering if you could add weight conversions???

thex,
Thanks for downloading! The reason there are only five unit categories is basically because my coding skills are very limited at the moment. If I was to make a sixth category, it would disappear off the bottom of the screen, as the app does not allow the user to move the screen around, if that makes any sense.
If I can work it out, or someone can reference a site where it explains it, I might include it.
looks great, i hope you can make a VGA version soon, like it was said, this seems to be the best looking converter to date

Hello,
Please ... Can you do this program for VGA? ... Thank you.
Sincerely,
FreewarepocketPC Direct Link
Thankz for this app!
Hi Paul,
If you thinking of adding additional categories, rather than putting them on the same page and having to scroll down, you could always make a new page and add page number links to the top of each (if that makes sense).
it's just a suggestion, but thanks again for the app!
Hoping to make a VGA version when uni slows down, pretty insane at the moment.

When uni slows down I'll look into that - I'll see if i can add some more categories, and I'll try and make a VGA version - seems to be a popular request.

welcome, u did the work, I just copy/paste
Gets me to think of uconvert .. pretty close
Would it be an idea if the predefined converting options would be read from an XML file?
This way others can add to this list.
Very nice looking app!
Btw just wandering which language do you use to program this on?

I did this is VB.NET - basically what I learnt at uni but adapted for mobile.
Images were done in GIMP
Hi there mate, welcome to the programmers world ... Here is a little tip to add more calculations without losing to much space:
Remove the = button, calculate on the fly. Saves you some space, and saves the user a click.
Add a dropdown with categories: Weight, Distance, Speed, etc....
Add a second dropdown which is filled with the items from the selected category: Inch/feet, Inch/cm etc
I didn't do much VB.net/C# lately, but with a little research it wouldn't be to hard to do, keep motivated!
Thanks a lot!!
very useful app.
Great program! But do you think you could add "sq.ft. > acres" and "acres > sq.ft." in the area conversions? I work in a landscaping company and those are my 2 most used calculations.

Does anybody have a list of guidelines to follow when writing a web page for the 02 XDA.
It would seem obvious to not make it graphics intensive, and size it appropriately for the screen, but I'm looking for the more subtle tips.......not using javascript etc.....
Many Thanks
Alex Stevens

Just rather obvious ones:
Strip everything unnecessary from the HTML
Minimize graphics, both in size and complexity
[list:74f90bba2b]
for GIF's: less colors in palette
for JPG's, higher compression
[*]Try to accomplish cool graphic effects using stylesheet tricks instead of images whenever possible
[*]GPRS is slow, so images may take a while. So specify sizes for all images, so the layout looks right immediately.
[*]Make sure it's viewable with graphics turned off (sensible alt-texts, one gif per button, etc...)
[/list:u:74f90bba2b]
There's many more things one could do. I guess when you've done the above, it all comes down to UI design: trying to estimate how much to cram in one screen, based on various properties of your target audience and many other factors.

Stylesheets are not supported on Pocket Internet Explorer 2002. There is also a section in the Pocket PC 2002 SDK dedicated to building web application for PPC2002.

Stylesheets
Does anyone know if XDAs will ever have stylesheet capability and if so when :?: ?
Style Sheets and XDA
WM2003 supports CSS as we use them heavily in an app. Annoying things that you often forget about are no on mouse over (hover) - logical. when you think about it, but annoying if you forget!

iCaller v0.1.0.3 alpha
Simple CallerID application which extends system default Incoming Call screen with full-sized pictures, additional contact information and fully customized interface.
Currently, it is an alpha version, which means that it may contain bugs and do not work correctly on some devices. Please give me the feedback, I'll be fixing issues.
You may get it also at my new home site
Features:
- Lightweight
- Expands default incoming call screen without affecting its behavior
- Full-sized contact picture
- Pictures can be stored on a Storage Card or in Pocket Outlook database
- Picture can vary for the same contact depending on its phone number (just name the picture with a number, e.g. 5554433.jpg)
- Customized interface based on HTML (using system HTMLView control, thanks for idea goes to mrproper)
ToDo:
- Screen lock functionality
- Speed improvements
- Bugfixing
Instructions:
- Unpack contents of the archive in a folder on your device, e.g. \Program Files\iCaller (do not forget to copy zlibce.dll too!)
- Check settings.ini - it is configured for English version of Windows Mobile OS, you may need to replace sSysCallerWndTitle option from 'Phone - Incoming...' to your localized name of system default Incoming Call window
- Launch iCaller.exe
For detailed instructions refer to readme.html
Note!
Stop and restart iCaller each time you modify the settings.ini file!
Thanks will test with manila about time just a simple fullscreen caller
Does not work with manila 2D as the manila caller id cuts Icaller out also the call delay is much worse on my 5-6 times before ring is herd ?

Haven't tested with Manila yet. Probably it will require modifying sSysCallerWndClass and sSysCallerWndTitle options in settings.ini to properly hide Manila CallerID. I'll investigate the delay issue too. Thanks for the feedback!
mmh, this is a feature that is build in s2u2 allready (runnes on any device, fullscreen), so where is the different if this is ready?
So this might only be usefull if there is really someone out there who does not use s2u2 , (maybe throttlelock users)

In fact, I've installed S2U2 and uninstalled it two days after, didn't like the weight and functional overload. So it's up to users to decide

Not to forget that iCaller works usefully on Smartphones whereas I, for one, have never gotten anything working with S2U2 on a Smartphone. Plus it's lightweight and since you're using the HTMLViewer that means it's also pretty configurable.
I've got a few ideas myself on themes for it...!

I assume you can put this in the startup drawer/folder or put a .lnk to it there to start this everytime the phone starts?

You say its customizable with graphics..Is this a whole skin/theme ability or just replacing already existing files ?
And is it possible to have gfx for tapped state as well ? And transparent PNG files ?
If so, I would be really interested in skinning it (once its stable and fast ^^).
And, maybe I get this wrong but what do you mean by "screen lock functionality" ?? Sounds like S2U2
regards,
Martin
mmh, its lightwight, of course because it has not much functions, so wait two weeks and we will see because it seems that there is a lock function coming too
The other thing is that you need this and a screenlocker application and a volume control application and and and. with s2u2 you can disable parts of programm. Just my thoughts about another calleer iD.
But maybe usefull for non touch devices or other lockers, as i said.
hey Schmidler, Oesterreich gehoert wieder zu Deutschland *kleiner Spass aus Bayern
Running it on ATT Tilt, stock 6.1 rom, with HTC Home Plugin. Works great so far. I like the HTML layout, it can be customized quite easily.
I have been looking for something like this for a while now, I'll test some more and report back.
yes, S2U2 already got a lot of functionality, but its true that it´s memory intesive.
[OFF-TOPIC] @bluemetalaxe: xD ja klar, Deutsches Reich nichwahr kennst ja hoffentlich http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGPGSyCreJA [/OFF-TOPIC]
athis is exactly what I have been looking for for a long time!!!
огромное спасибо!
Going to try on my wizard to see how it works. hopefuly it will rescale my outlook contact photos to something more reasonable.
edit:
Here is a smaller picture for the no caller id.
it is saved as a 2color png in 8bits
weighs less than a kb as oposed to the 7kb in the one you posted.
(This should make a lot the difference with speed as well)

I'm not using S2U2 or ThrottleLock, and I do find this application could be very useful.

i have to agree with you.. S2U2 is heavy and pointless for some people. i don't use it and nor need it. I'll be using iCaller, no doubt about it.

I think that the big difference is that it is so lightweight.
You can have as many pictures as you want for your people on storage card without making PIMVOL as huge as mine (1.5mb) and only for few contacts!
can you immagine if I had pictures for ALL of my 200+ contacts??? that would probably add up to 5mb!
Hi Burt,
Installed on my HTC Touch on program files , but still getting the small screen with the picture on the background.
How do i get rid of the small old screen showing the number & get only the new full screen.
thx.
here is what happened on my wizard:
installed ran testcalled from a friends phone.
at the top of the screen I got 3 pictures (same ones from my outlook. under it the blue screen. under that the standard windows mobile bubble.
I think that there needs to be some kind of a scaling engine for outlook photos. at least double size. and the background needs to change from the scarry blue to a black or very dark grey.
looking forward to an update. thanks for trying to tackle a problem that many cant seem to care about

KshrTips
Introduction
This simple tip calculator was made after reading this thread about a similar iphone application. Since it was not complicated I decided to make a Windows Mobile program with same functions.
Usage
Use the CAB to install it wherever you want.
Screenshots
Changelog
0.1
Initial release.
0.2
- Fixed a bug: when splitting, for example 100 to 3 people, it says each pays 33.33. So, after summing up 0.01 is missing (3x33.33 is 99.99). Now it will give 33.34. An extra tip for the waiter, but better to pay more than less -- after all, you may ask for change.
- Seems that both dot and comma work as a decimal separator now.
0.3
- Support for landsape mode and rotating.
0.3a
- Storing values in registry.
The icon was designed and provided by Sir.B. Thanks!
Thanks in advance for feedback, and I hope you enjoy using this.
great job on this app, was looking for something like it
one question: was this written in C++ or .net?
EDIT: removed cab, new version posted above
It is written in C++, so it doesn't need .net to run. Moreover, since I wrote it in eVC4 and PPC 2003 SDK it should run on older pocket PCs.
Thanks for interest and the cab!
p.s. when entering bill amount, don't forget about "," and "." !
It makes a difference. I think using the comma will never work.
Like this a lot - would love to see a skin a la Tipulator
Great App.
Will look forward for future releases.
Fixed some bugs and created my own CAB, as promised.
Get v0.2 from the first post.
This is cool. Thanks. Tippy hasn't been updated in a while so I will see how far you get with this. Great job man.
Released 0.3 today, featuring landscape and rotation support. Try it out with screen rotation!
great little app
thank you very much
i have two small requests for some future version
show the actual calculated tip amount
set the default tip % so it's remembered for next time
i also wanted to offer you an icon to use, only if you like it of course
A small update to 0.3, the 0.3a is done and ready to download.
Is it possible to have a finger friendly number keypad pop up when you tap on the bill field? I t would help faciltate entering the bill total.
Thanks in advance.
nice great work just the job
Suggestion
This is a great app - a million thanks for creating!
Two suggestions:
Would like to see one more line to show cash value amount of the tip. Most restaurant bills require you to fill in this detail.
A round up button - would round tip to nearest whole number. This would then reflect cash value of tip.

tip value field would be great, because i'm lazy and dumb, i can't do the math
also perhaps; when the bill field is selected it can automatically "select all", to make it easier to erase/reset that field
thank you for your time

First Impressions
I just discovered this app and thought I'd leave my first impressions. Here goes...
At first go it's just what I've been looking for: a simple checklist app. It seems to be just that. I wouldn't say it's immediately intuitive, but with some messing around I picked up the basic routine. As with all things, with a little more playing around it will become 2nd nature. You should be aware, however, that the screen doesn't render properly in landscape (my phone is a TP2 [WVGA] see details in sig). As such, I couldn't confirm compatibility with the hard keyboard on my device.
Also, something to consider for future development, would be a way to create a link for a specific list that can be placed in one's calendar/appt editor. This probably takes away from the simplicity aspect, but that would be really slick!
I'll play with it some more throughout the week, but for simplicity's sake I like what you've put together -- at least on 1st impressions. Thanks for sharing!
thank you very much for your comments

May I leave some friendly feedback?
(I'm going to assume you said "yes"...)
First of all, allow me to repeat that this is a great little app. Simple and useful. Further, you have shared it with us freely, and I'm the first to acknowledge "beggars can't be choosy." With this in mind, I offer the following...
The boot time is too slow. One would think that given how light-weight this app is, it should load much like an immediate toggle on/toggle off application. While you're deserving of the credit appearing in your 'welcome'/'boot' screen, perhaps eliminating this feature would speed the load time? Even if it would not speed the load, I would like to see the Category menu straight away without an extra screen to pass through.
Second, it would be nice if Categories, and not just Items, could be saved to the vault. (Am I missing something?) It would be nice to create a simple template to the vault, then be able to copy a version to the active menu which could be applied as needed. Make sense?
Lastly, would it be possible to move the command bar down a centimeter or so? That way 4 full Category/Item panels could be visible w/o having to scroll up/down. I understand it's placed to accommodate ergonomic thumb usage, but to see 4 full Item panels, as opposed to 3 1/2, would be worth the slight stretch...
I'm really looking forward to a WVGA version as I'll be able to use the keyboard on my TP2, which would make this even MORE useful!
Once again, many thanks!!!
p.s. - There's also a couple of spelling errors in the menu guides. 'Aproove' comes to mind right off. ('Approve' is correct) However, your English is far superior to my Greek, so I have no room to criticize...

The boot time is extremely slow... Its not my fault... This programming language is slow (even a "Hello world" takes 3-4 secs to load)
In the new version you have the option to disable the splash screen

...not bad, I'm also think about this topic...but, keep in mind the important issue: "small and easy".
I think, these is the most benefit from this app, so any new features should be aware of this point before added.
(MASPWARE Checklist, as example, looks nice, but you could be very easily lost in categories and items in up to 4 stages of deep)
But you're right, there are some improvents possible - let's see, what others will say and give Dadi68 a chance to enjoy the summer before making a version 3.0...

Yes, a category full of items: a template. For example, a simple agenda template...
A template of the user's own design could be kept in the vault. In my case, there are occasions when I don't need to use a full appointment editor; I just need to keep a running list of contacts and times for any given day. Instead of retyping the time increments over and over, a blank agenda is always at the ready!
Although, this brings up another issue for me:
Whenever I attempt to edit one of the time slots on my agenda template, I get the warning seen in the pic above. I have the current-most NETCF v35 on my device, in addition to the NET CF v35 Messages.EN.wm .cab: am I missing anything? If I click 'yes' I'm able to continue and add a contact to a time slot, but the error message repeats with each edit.

Yes, of course. I would be happy to. Check your PMs and I'll attach a Word document with a complete list. Although, from what I've observed there are only a few minor things...
Hey guys, I'm looking for a calculator for windows mobile 6.5 QVGA (shareware or freeware) that is:
1. Finger friendly
2. Display the calculation in 2 line, first line show what I input (for example 98/(10+3+15)), and the 2nd line show result, just like Hicalc from PPClink
3. Save recent calculations
I want it to save the whole calculation and result, like 98/(10+3+15)=3.5
So it's like Hicalc Arithmetic mode, plus the ability to save recent calculations
Spacetime is good and it save calculations but it's not finger friendly, very hard to enter data on my small QVGA screen
If anyone know about a calculator like this please let me know. Thanks a lot
I think what you want is IGCalc. It's a skinnable calc that does exactly what you are asking for.
probably bit more than you are asking for, but take a look at SpaceTime
SpaceTime has many nice features, the only problem for me is the small buttons (my screen is QVGA), but I still install it in case I need some advance calculations
IGCalc is great, it does just what I want thanks a lot Ummagumma
It even has some nice skins and functions
I search in freewarepocketpc and try googling all day but couldn't find what I want, but IGCalc is really the one, you did me a great favor.
(Sites that have IGCalc are in Russian, no wonder I couldn't find it )
For those who want it, here is the link:

You're welcome. There are some very beautiful skins for it, the default one is kind of fugly. Just make a search for "IGCalc Skins".
Yes, I found some nice skins in this topic:
