The SSL issue some of you faced lately is fixed in v0.2.7, please try and give feedback. Thanks.

Late Reader is a Windows Mobile application for reading your Read It Later lists. Actually this application does (or aims) more than just reading your list. You can search, sort your list, download pages for offline reading. Share your list items with others. And more.

Credits
First of all thanks to xda-developers forum user zefiltrin (hugocbp) for the idea (see his thread), also thanks to other members on that thread for their comments
LateReader uses Sense SDK, and I must admit that this wonderful library freed me from hundreds of lines of custom drawing code.
I used Majestic12 HTML parser for parsing page texts
Finally I must thank to the makers of Read It Later

Getting Null Reference Exception. Could not add anything to the list as the add button is grayed out.
Error and phone details are attached..
Thanks for the very fast response.
Currently Add function is not available. You can use the Read It Later web browser plugins for adding items to your list. Actually this would be the typical usage scenario: Add from a browser, then sync to your WM device. But I will also try to make adding on the device as usable as possible (shake based Opera integration, etc.)
I will investigate your problem tomorrow as it is the middle of the night here (04:38 AM ), and I need to have some sleep before I go to work
In the meantime, can you provide answers to the following questions in order to make the analysis easier:
- which device are you using?
- which version of the .NET CF are you using (3.5+ is a requirement, I should add this to the first post I guess)
- do you have a storage card installed?
By the way, I tested the app with a HD2 and a HD, and it works without a problem.
this sounds great..
Works very nice at this stage.
finally you made it thanks a lot, will test later
edit:
played a little, only one word: AWESOME. i have only one request that you have not planned, perhaps: a checkbox (or a switch) to mark for download it will be faster then long tapping on the item thanks vizier, you are a master!

It was not very easy to allocate time for this project most of the time, but yes finally we have something to start with. Thank you for your support.
Also I think your suggestion can improve the usability of LateReader, I will add marking for download with a switch to the list of planned items.
This is good stuff.....more people need to see this.

What is .NET CF 3.5+ ??? I never heard of this Plus-Version and I could not find it in the internet. I have installed .NET CF 3.5 (without +) and up to now it seems to work on my Omnia Pro. Great app !!! Looking forward to the next version.

3.5+ means 3.5 or newer
I am glad it worked for you after installing CF 3.5.
It is really nice to see how my unpretencious topic really became an app.
I had some personal problems lately and couldn't give my feedback or thank your, but Thank you!
This is an awesome app that was missing for WM and it really helped me A LOT.
Wow. thanks a lot. have been looking for a Read It later application for windows mobile.
Just curious, is there any way to mark all the "readings" for offline reading, so that they would be downloaded when sync. Or do i have to click on every one of them slowly? Thanks!

Actually in the previous release (I posted on another thread) the default sync behaviour was to download all items. However, this caused problems with people having huge lists with hundreds of items. So I decided to make this an option, and the default behaviour is to download only marked items.
You see, downloading all of the items is an option. But the problem is we will have the "Options" user interface in the next release.
If you want to try this option with the current version, actually it is possible. Just do the following:
1. Close LateReader applcation
2. open \Storage Card\Program Files\LateReader\Data\Latereader.xml file with an editor (PHM Notepad or MADE should do this easily)
3. Scroll to the end of file. There you will see a line like this:
Code:
<IsDownloadAllUnreadPageTextDuringSync>false</IsDownloadAllUnreadPageTextDuringSync>
4. Change false to true, thats all
I hope this helps. If you screw up anything, just delete all the files under Data folder and restart the application.
As I said before, in the next release (which will be in a few days I hope) we will have the settings/options UI.
Thank you for your comments.

Hey man,
it is very nice to hear from you. I was thinking that you did not like the application at all, and that would be the reason why you become silent all of a sudden.
Anyway, I hope you settled your personal problems.
What about the applications performance with your huge list, would you share your experiences please.
If you did not start that thread I would not even know that there is something called Read It Later. Thanks again.
thx a lot, it's working well on my HD2.
Hi Vizier,
first of all thanks a lot for this perfect app.
Everything works fine on my Touch Pro2 (WM 6.1) except the sync of a deleted item from the reading list.
Example: An item has been added to the reading list on the PC. Than it has been read on the PocketPC and moved to the list "Read". After a sync it has been deleted on the PC. Sync again and...: It is still in the list "Read" on the PocketPC. Sync again, no changes. The item is not back on the PC, but still exists on the PocketPC.
How can I delete it from the PocketPC.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Klaus
Scrolling pages
Hi Vizier,
Thanks so much for this app - just what I've been hoping for! One request: is there some way to add navigation one screen page at a time by either touching the screen (as in mobipocket, Vade Mecum) - possibly touch bottom half for page-down and upper half for page-up, or via the volume buttons? Kinetic scrolling is imprecise and not very fluid on my HD.
But the app is great - looking forward to the next release (and the Options button)!
Thanks again!

Yes, for some reason (unknown to me at the moment) kinetic scrolling in the Currently Reading screen does not work at all on the HD. I do not think it is a memory or CPU issue, may be something related to the WM version. Are you using 6.1 or 6.5?
Anyway I am investigating this issue, but no luck so far.
I will add page up/page down style navigation as an option. I will update the first post with this. Thanks.

Hi.
StatusTicker is an app to replace the Network Carrier Name with a status monitor. The ticker will display phone info, weather, stocks, sports, you name it. The Network Carrier Name appears on lot's of Windows phones but is usually static and we have all forgot it was there.
My phone says Sprint. Using OpMon I can have it say whatever I put. Now I can have it say "Keith's Phone" instead. So Sprint was cool, but OpMon really made the difference. OpMon worked for the PPC and smartphone, and so did Personalizer for the PPC. I have been working on updating the Personalizer scripts to work with smartphones as well as adding ticker functionality. So what Personalizer 3.1 (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=21538) and OpMon (by Emunutz) both do is post to the "Network Carrier" Today screen's network panel. And. It also posts to the incoming and outgoing phone screen.
PPC (On the Titanium clock):

StatusTicker Features:
- Lotsa new bits of info on what was your phone's static network carrier name. Now you get system messages and stuff you need to know right there where you can see them at a glance.
- Not only does it display on the home screen panel, but also tickers on your incoming and outgoing calls. I know, sweet.
- It only works when you want it to. If you can't see the info the ticker sleeps.
- Low battery warning and ticker hibernates.
- Now playing track info from windows mediaplayer.
- Works on PPC as well as SMartphone.
- Works on Windows mobile 5 and 6! Take that Titanium.
- Missed call alerts. You can set the frequency in the ini. This is the spot for other important alerts to get in the short line.
- Auto On/Off Wifi/Bluetooth when plugged in
- Application Program Update reporting
- Reports any app using the AppToDate update system.

If you don't have the newest version of mortscript it will try and download and install it if you let it. This app may work with 4.3b11 which is posted here. It may even work with version 4.3b1 but I will need to try it to make sure.
Here is a link to the newest version of Mortscript:
http://www.sto-helit.de/forum/download/file.php?id=265
Link to Facade 2.0 Home Screen support. I will include this Facade mod in a later version so it won't require a separate download, as well as detecting Facade and offering to install.
Version 1.5x is smaller than the prior release because of switching to JMLsms.exe instead of Msg2Reg.exe. I recommend trying the Billboard plugin. To activate it, go to settings and "Install Billboard".
This version of StatusTicker comes with Mr-tones.
Instructions:
Run the Settinhgs and put your zip code, Stock info, and other Plugin choices. Currently set to LA (91335) and Yahoo. In the ini file you will also find the Plugins section where you can turn on and off the plugins.
For Website Monitor you can edit the StatusTicker.ini file and put the name and URL of the website you want to monitor. If it's not a dynamically generated website it should work.
For example, I really like Palringo messenger (http://www.palringo.com). They update their beta's quite frequently (http://beta.palringo.com). Any day now they will finally add MySpace Messenger and I can rest. Palringo is the default URL it checks, but of course you can put your own URL in.
rkLocation is set to off by default. If you would like to turn it on, or try to, run the "StatusLocationInstall.mscr". If it completes it will tell you, if the script doesnt complete, I guess It stays off for you.
To add RSS feeds you will need to edit the StatusTicker.ini file by hand, until the next release. Then we will be able to add/remove from the Settings app.
StatusTicker.nfo - This info
StatusTicker.mscr - Run this file to see the ticker in action, run this again to stop the ticker
StatusSet.mscr - The settings app. There should be a link to the settings in your programs folder after installation.
the other files are Plugins or support files. Here are the Plugin screenshots:
I will split the plugins into categories some time soon.
Settings include:
- StatusTicker Startup - If you want the app to start every time you start your phone, make a shortcut to this in your startup folder. It will delay the ticker til things get booted up
- Status Location Install - To see if you can enable rkLocation monitoring, run this. If it locks up rkLocation won't work on your phone.
Here are some screenshots of the StatusTicker's Menu from the Today Page:
++
Here is just the AppToDate auto running agent. If it operates as intended it will run AppToDate and then when it is done updating should automatically close the app.
No Promises.
If it can't connect to the internet it won't bother running AppToDate.
++
Also is clearTempAgent. The smartphone version is located here: http://mobisapienz.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=82&task=view.download&cid=5 .
This app uses the clearTemp settings and deletes those directories. This version only uses the directories specified using that app. I probably will add reporting for the StatusTicker. The clearTempSettings.mscr is to turn autorun on and off. May add download link as well as localized settings which poke to clearTemp.
++
First off, Personalizer had an issue with battery use. It posted to the registry every few seconds, even if the Network Carrier was not visible. I have updated the Personalizer script and am posting the update here. That's nice, I know. Enclosed are the replacement scripts for Personalizer as well as a Try the StatusTicker script to see what the new ticker script does. Those script updates are primitive compared to the StatusTicker.

Whats next?
Suggestions from you.
Fix stocks, ebay, word/quote/passage of the day. Most of these don't interest me, so if u want it u better say how u want to see it. A horoscope would interest me.
RSS infos. I am very interested. I think once i set up the ticker to cycle through an array this will work. Sports ticker will show up once i set up the line arrays as well.
Alarm function for RSS and missed call. Even though I have Phone Alarm and dont need missed call alerting. More for the WebsMon alerting and RSS.
I may add a new ticker style
Can I get a earthquake alert? How about humidity? Both very interest me.
Have to make language files too?
more text covering all the details. links, people to thank.
shout out to mort.
maybe a gif capture.
Couple more apps info to include. IM+ I can post received msgs.
Figure out the width of the Network carrier panel on the fly? Can be left justified sometimes or Centered. I am going to release my own modified Ticker today plugin. Maybe tomorrow?
Couple more ticker methods.
Arrow slide in and Info stays.
Some kind of letter jumble. Stop me.
Merge this and the Personalizer install framework
I am curious if mortscript can send myself a txt msg with urgent so Microsoft Voice command reads it aloud. I think MobiTNT virtual caller can post msgs, but I dont know if it can do command line msging. It might be good for at least testing if it works. >> Send myself a Ugent text msg and have Voice command read it <<
Facade 2.0 support for the current default facade themes; dynamic Ticker widths. Going to rework a custom Facade 2.0 Plugin.
This is as close to Twittering as i am gonna get until i can post Tweets to the Ticker.
Mostly done with settings
Adding Call ticker.. Clock, CallerID?
Fixed lotsa things.
finish up the clearTemp Agent and post that
Show last email/SMS msg if new
Show last IM+

My app for Bluetooth toggling sans Phonealarm.

I think i need a "do u want to save your old settings" when u run the cab install again.
We could have Facebook rules for incoming messages. Anything that sets an appt, we could create a vcf for. then a shortcut could display all vcf in a choice and allow u to import them.
Tagged photos could auto open facebook app to view?
Congratulations for the new thread! I was going to suggest to open it instead of leave StatusTicker "buried" in general mortscript one
But you was fast. Hope to contribute more in the future (actually very busy in real life)...
i look forward to a CAB version
very very great app!
here is version l.
Whats new?
Array tickering works now. I still dont have the football stats showing right, but soon.
MAjor newness is the settings app. Everything is configgable in there just about. Autoinstall autorun. New support for ApptoDate with install stub as well as autorun.
First pass at clearTemp integration. Will now monitor a folder of your choice or as set in clearTemp. Next release includes my clearTemp agent for autorunning clearTemp.
New GPS location status if you have GPS available. This, like the rkLocation installer should be installed from the config app.

Lots of potential!
Reading your description, I understand that this will update with missed call info and SMS/Email info? I am very interested in this, but haven't seem to be able to get it to work correctly. Can you help?
Thanks,
Marty
Hi,
Thanks for sayin hi!
Funny that u mention it, but I should have an updated version done today that shows missed call and SMS.
Other new features include,
LostPhone locator
SMS alarm rules
I'm Batman
Hi! HowdyKieth
Great...I really like the idea of this!! Thank you for your hard work. I will have to buy you a beer! One more question, it is not letting me change the message from Genius's Phone to anything else.
Thanks,
Marty
Hi,
I will fix the Genius thing this next release too.
On my phone it finds the owner name automatically. your phone is different. I will put that in the settings.
thanks...
Almost done with the next version...
I am using a Touch HD Blckstone.
Thanks
Marty
Yeah If you wanted to search your phones registry and tell me where your owner name is stored i could grab it.
I made it so it will grab whatever you set it to in the config. the config was already set up to edit it, but the ticker wasnt checking it.
Should work for you in either case.
I have it ready to go once it stops quitting unexpectedly.
Once I release this version i will go back and make sure all the elements that are on the default homescreen are showing up as intended. ie appointments. Once they are done i will go again at the call reminder.
Using Microsoft Voice command as a synthesizer I have almost working right. Then we can look forward to "The Talking Moose" for us phones. I don't know about you, but I can hardly wait.
Lost phone alerting works, as well as the filtering SMS alarms. When I get all the other todos done i will add more features to the lost phone locator, such as reporting GPS and Rklocation. Other planned features will include Taking a Picture automatically by sms/email and having the pictures/video uploaded to dashwire/shozu/...
New release M of StatusTicker.
New Features:
I'm Batman
SMS rules
Wireless Amber Alert posts
Appointments
Last SMS msg
Lost Phone - Microsoft Voice messaging initial support
Default Message
Lots more
heya keith, app looks real intresting to try only problem is, i cant find out how to change the carrier name i tried with Owner Info but i guess that didnt work...can u plz tell me how? thnx
Hopefully if you go into the StatusTickerSet.mscr, the default msg setting is there.
Maybe I should have it ask first run questions? Maybe the next update.

thanks for sharing the app
how do i install this on the hd2
installation
You can download file to your PC and then copy it to HD2 storage through ActiveSync or card reader; or, you can download file directly to device using HD2 web browser.
Here's the link: moneyharp.com/content/moneyharp.cab
[as a new user I'm not allowed to post links, please copy-paste them]
Then browse to downloaded file on the device and double-click it - choose where to install (storage footprint is 0.5MB, so "Main Memory" should be ok), press "ok".
There's also an illustrated guide here: wmexperts.com/articles/howto/how_to_install_uninstall_and_t.html
Please let me know if there are any issues.
it not work on wvga device
Doesn't work on Touch HD , the installation went fine but the program just wouldn't start, it tries to start you can see the hour glass turning but it just doesn't start.
Hi moneyharp,
I have tried little on moneyharp and i already like it. It is completely finger friendly, fast and easy to enter expenses and incomes along with setting up the budget. However there are few things that i noted:
1. After the installation, the program doesnt have an icon
2. It is finger friendly but not user friendly. This could be because i am comparing it with winmoFinance and easy expenses
3. I dont like the color scheme
4. i like application which i can scroll up and down with touchflo. With moneyharp you need to press the up and down key for that. With touchflo, you can remove these two keys and have more space on the screen
5. you can move the list and summary in menu. This will allow more space on screen as currently user can see only 4 items on one screen. Personally i would like the screen to be used maximum to see the entry rather than buttons
6. There should be an option to add notes.
7. As an end user, i would like to capture date and not time in a expense
8. User should have the option to import or export settings or move them to a different location so that in case system crashes or user hard resets phone, the data is saved.
I will use moneyhard couple of days and post my feedback. You are doing a great job. Keep it up. I am looking forward to the next release.
Hi chautruong:
Can you please specify - does it crash, or just does not start, or..?
Hi zjxpot:
Can anyone having Touch HD confirm that moneyharp has an issue with this device?
Meanwhile, I will test in WVGA emulator.
Hi jaskiratsingh:
1. In next release. Just have to draw it.
2. I have tried several expenses apps myself, but tried to write moneyharp as if it was my invention - some concepts really differ. But that doesn't mean I was right. What irritates you most?
3. The skins feature is already there - I will post the skin config file and instructions how to change it shortly.
4. I tried to avoid any device-specific features (in fact, moneyharp doesn't even use hardware buttons). But I am considering some gestures support.
5. I see. But then: - which view (list or summary) do you use more often?
- where to put current balance?
6. My idea was tags should be used for that - than you can generate reports on them. But maybe this is too constrained.
7. You can skip setting time part altogether. If more people are irritated with that, I will leave date only.
8. Backup/restore - in next release. Meanwhile, you can copy config.stor, main1.stor and main2.stor files from program directory to backup location.
Thank you very much for feedback! Please keep on - I need it.
well so far its pretty good,i just wanted a app that i could keep track of what's in the bank and every time i make a transaction i could post it and it will tell me how much i have left and so far that's what this is doing. but there is no icon pic on the app and when k first installed it it told me to install another app so this one could work better,do youknow about that
sorry. i didn't explain exactly. it run fine on my htc touch hd but not full screen (may be it support wga screen only?)
Nice apps!
Some comments:
1. It seems that there is not Unicod support - Cyrillic letters seen as ???
2. Autoserach in category - when you have long list, it is annoying to scroll. Can you make window for text entering using keyboard (with autocomplete function)?
3. PC companion would be great
4. Account groups would be useful
5. On WVGA screen there is empty space at the bottom
6. Export from Cashorg and other application
Maybe some inspiration
Cheers for the app so far.
Looking forward to seeing this develop.
My friend showed me an app called Money book on her iBone. What was a nice feature is that once you'd added some things to its various categories you could turn the phone to landscape and it was show a bar chart of how much you'd spent in each category (for that month).
You could maybe set periods (e.g. between pay day and the next) so that you could analyse expenditure during that period, ideally graphically like the above idea.
All the best with it!
Ian
Hi jkiller122:
- next release will have icon
- you're probably talking about .NET framework - moneyharp requires that to run. But in Windows Mobile you should already have it installed.
Hi again chautruong:
yes, I can see it in emulator too. Finding out where's the problem now.
Hi landau:
1. yes, currently Western European encoding is used. Will try to fully adopt Unicode in next release.
2. When you have really long list (>100) and keep the button pressed, it starts to accelerate the scroll (jump 5 at a time). Also, if you use some categories often, put a space in front of its name - it will appear on top of the list.
3. After next release
4. I just disabled that, because I was not sure as to how count group account balance in total balance (omit it? omit accounts in group?) Can you please describe the use case scenario for that?
5. yes, looking at it now (see reply to chautruong)
6. Which format do you use to export from Cashorg (OFX/QFX...)? Also, some details will be lost if you import to moneyharp - e.g. it doesn't have check numbers.
Hi otherworld:
- have you tried the reports (menu>Reports)?
Thank you for your feedback! Keep it coming!

Hi Moneyharp,
Please find few comments below:
1. sorting option i.e. ascending date or descending date order
2. if user changes the date, in next transaction the system date should populate instead of chosen date by the user
3. Add a transaction and in Income/Expense: Expense is populated. User can save the transaction, which shouldnt be allowed. This should be Blank and user should be forced to populate income/expense
4. For better UI, as per me,you can remove the time in list view and add income/expense type in same line. Check attachment
In response to backup/restore, what i meant was that the files that contain data should be at a different location say /Storage Card/Expenses and application can point and pick and save data there.
I use the list view mostly. You can keep views : list and summary in menu. You can leave current balance at the bottom or move the current balance at the top
Hi jaskiratsingh
1. moneyharp always sorts records by date in ascending order, and initial position is in the end of the list, so that you see latest entries. An option could be to show either top or bottom of the list (first or last records) - ?
2. The idea was that in one session date is likely to be the same - e.g. you enter transactions for yesterday. moneyharp just repeats the date from last entered transaction in current program usage session.
What are others thinking of that?
3. I didn't want to be too restrictive. User should understand that if he wants full and descriptive reports later, he should fill in all the data. But what if he/she is interested only in some categories or payees tracking - e.g. I want to know how much went to some payee, but no matter the purpose. From my experience, you can't foresee all scenarios, and too many constraints limit them.
4. You have really thought and elaborated on UI options - very impressive!
Still, priority and one of stem ideas in moneyharp is finger-friendly UI. If transaction entries are half the current height, it will be not so comfortable to tap them with your finger (most devices still have touchscreens far from ideal). Also, I noticed that you don't use Payee field - that is why it could fit in 1 line.
That said, you don't tap and edit transactions often - so maybe it's ok to make them narrow.
I invite others to share their opinion!
Option to change the files location - already in list for next release.
Again thank you very much - you provide very qualified and creative review!
Hi moneyharp,
I hard reset my phone and after reinstallation i copied config.stor, main1.stor and main2.stor. Started the application. All the transaction are back but the total is not displayed. Kindly check
Hi jaskiratsingh
Total is 0 or not displayed at all? Are you able to send me some screenshot?
Thank you.

Total was not displayed at all.
I checked now and it is being displayed. Previously, I restarted the ppc couple of times because of installation of applications.
No clue on what happened.
My total was a five figure number.
Just installed to have a look and see how this compares to Cash Organizer, which I use currently.
A few comments that I have initially is the MoneyHarp are:
MoneyHarp doesn't seem to handle screen rotation well. Seems to use the screen height when started to scale the application resolution. This make it very small when started with my keyboard extended and the screen landscape. The application doesn't alter the resolution when switching orientations, so when I slide the keyboard in and switch to a portrait screen the right side of the app is off the screen.
Expect to be able to scroll any of the lists and not have to use the up/down arrows to navigate the menus, etc.
Would also like to be able to have dates shown based on the date style set in the OS or at least have the option to set month before date in the app. Most dates show as I have set in the OS, but when altering the date on transaction entry, it has day before month/year. I would prefer to have month, then day, then year and I'm not sure I would set a specific time ever.
One thing I really like about Cash Organizer is the shortcut they have for adding a new transaction. I map that shortcut to a hardware key and it speeds up entry while on the go. With definitely improves the accuracy of my account balances, since I don't forget to enter later.
MoneyHarp also covers up the bottom bar, which I wouldn't expect. An option to not hide would be appreciated.
MoneyHarp doesn't respond to the back key. Should be able to hit the back key and minimize the app.
I will keep testing more and report back what I find.
Looking very nice so far and keep up the great work.
Hi SinisterJunkie
- I deliberately use portrait orientation only, so when started in portrait it's ok. However, scaling problem in landscape you describe is a bug. I will do my best to correct/workaround this problem in next release, so that it is scaled correctly and you just need to turn it if started in landscape.
- I have this on my list, but next release probably won't include gestures yet.
- I use Windows setting throughout, but in date control it is fixed. Change month and day positions depending on OS setting - noted.
- CashOrg have a separate application for speed entry. I wanted to avoid that and make the main app speedy enough - so you can map a button to moneyharp app, and 'add new' is just 1 click away!
- Since moneyharp has it's own keyboard (or you can switch to standard keys in Options), I didn't think it to be a problem... User's habits greatly differ though. Can you describe the "use case" - how do you use bottom bar while in moneyharp?
- Hitting it will shut down the application on any screen, while on some devices users would expect it to act like 'ok' when e.g. entering transaction and that will frustrate them. I decided to steer away from hardware-dependent functions, at least in first release.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts! Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

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).
I have created a simple shopping list application with HTC Sense Interface Style.
It's the first application I post in xda-developers.
All suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks:
Thank you very much eboelzner shared his Sense Interface SDK.
This application is built upon Sense Interface SDK.
Thank you very much the AlphaMobileControls at CodePlex.
Thank you very much stickfigure design the application icon.

Screen Shots
Hi, is it possible for you to post some screen shots?
It is actually a very straightforward application in the sense style. First line is an edit field where you type in your list item and press on a button to add the item to your list.
Once an item is on the list you have a check box. If you check the box, presumably you have purchased the item.
There are three filters. One to display all items, one to display items that are checked and one to display items that have not been checked.
SQL CE Compact 3.5 SP2 attached.
Best regards,

I think, need an option to clear all list.
PS Sometimes, if list is long, long tap menu don't work
PPS Dont know what i ve done, but now i have message "Cant add item to database" ))
Thanks boggsie posting the SQL Compact cab file.
Because I wonder whether I can distribute MS software in a forums, I didn't post the attachement. Once I have privilege to post external link, I will add link to download SQL Compact in the first post.
Thanks sergiorus testing my application and the screenshots.
For the errors you found, would you mind please send me the log file "MobileShoppingList.log" which inside the application folder to me for investigation.
Bugs
1. Sometimes, if list is long, long tap menu don't work

2. Dont know what i ve done, but now i have message "Cant add item to database"
--> Cannot reproduce, may require the log file for investigation.
Requests
1. I think, need an option to clear all list.
--> Clarification required. Do you mean delete all items? or Uncheck all checked items?
As a new user, how can I quote the reply message?
How can I become a user without such restrictions?

Have you installed the prerequisite SQL Compact 3.5? (Download link posted in #1)
There should be a log file inside the application directory which records errors occurred.
If you don't mind, you can send the log file to me (Private message) for investigation.

Hi,
App looks good but the installation stopped me in my tracks.
I downloaded the SQL Compact 3.5 as linked in the first post, but all it did was install a load of files and folders to my Program Files folder on my laptop. It didn't install anything to my Topaz, and there didn't seem to be anything obvious to choose from in the Program Files folder. After copying the cab for the main app across, it obviously wouldn't run (I assume because the SQL thing didn't get installed).
I'm not the biggest noob around here (at least I hope not), but I found the installation too difficult. Would it be possible for the app to check for prerequisites on first run, and ideally download the necessary cabs? Or could you provide a download link here to a CAB for the prerequisite? As opposed to a 22mb MSI file that doesn't even create a Start Menu entry!
Would still like to try it if I can get it working ;-)

Thank you for your feedback.
I attached the SQL Server Compact Edition SP2 cab file in the attachment section and changed the prerequisite download link to download the attachment.
Welcome to try the application again.
Thanks, works now after installing the prerequisite.
Performs as expected, no bugs or anything that I've noticed. Compared to the other shopping list-type apps that I've tried it's pretty good; it's nice and simple. I suppose if you wanted to develop it further you could have multiple lists (eg Groceries, Pharmacy, etc). But from my point of view it would be important that you can still just load up the app and start adding items straight away.
Is there any way that the startup time of the app can be improved, or is that just down to the SQL and the platform? At the moment it takes a bit longer to startup on my Topaz than it's nearest competitor (Winmo's built-in Notes). Perhaps an option in the Menu to minimise, as opposed to exit? so that it's still running in the background and it can be picked from the task manager? This way it encourages users to leave it running in the background so that startup is quicker.
Anyway really like the app, thanks a mill!

I will add this feature to the wishlist and develop this in v1.2.
feature wish: A "masterlist" where you can store all your favorite products would be nice so that you don't have to write the same again and again to have a new shopping list.
Just go into your product list and tap your needed products and you have the shopping list finished.

Thanks, works now after installing the prerequisite.
Performs as expected, no bugs or anything that I've noticed. Compared to the other shopping list-type apps that I've tried it's pretty good; it's nice and simple. I suppose if you wanted to develop it further you could have multiple lists (eg Groceries, Pharmacy, etc). But from my point of view it would be important that you can still just load up the app and start adding items straight away.
Is there any way that the startup time of the app can be improved, or is that just down to the SQL and the platform? At the moment it takes a bit longer to startup on my Topaz than it's nearest competitor (Winmo's built-in Notes). Perhaps an option in the Menu to minimise, as opposed to exit? so that it's still running in the background and it can be picked from the task manager? This way it encourages users to leave it running in the background so that startup is quicker.
Anyway really like the app, thanks a mill!

wheresmybeaver, Thank you for your feedback.
I considered your suggestions,
1. Multiple shopping lists (eg Groceries, Pharmacy, etc) --> I will develop a Shop Master List function to allow user to group shopping items by different shops.
2. I will try to improve the startup time of the program.
3. Funtion to minimize the program --> Actually if you tap on the X/OK button at the upper right corner, the program should be minimized. It's one of the WM default feature.
Being aware of your own speed can always come in handy, whether you want to avoid breaking limits, to verify your vehicle’s performance, your own, or just out of plain curiosity.
So here comes my latest creation, SpeedoPhone updated to the release 1.31.
If you have a WM device with GPS and you want to keep your speed under control, SpeedoPhone is what you need. You can use it when you’re on foot, in your car, on a train, on a plane, on boat or wherever you like.
The app has a Windows Phone 7 look, nice, user friendly and pleasing to the eye; as for the possibilities and information it has to offer, here's what we've got.
The first steps are the same as always: download the cab from the link at the bottom of the page, install it on your device, open it and you’ll get to the home page.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

It's simple and intuitive. The app will automatically get the GPS running upon loading, but it's possible to switch it on and off manually with the GPS button. Once the phone has found and fixed enough satellites to work with, the START button will be enabled. Click on it to start your record.
I hope you'll find this app useful and that you'll enjoy working with it. It's available for free, but, as usual, if you'd like to say thanks a coffee would be nice.

Description
The first data available on the screen is the instantaneous speed, with Km/h as default measure unit. You can change it to miles per hour (Mph) or knots (Kn) by tapping on it.
The app will also give you information on the distance you've covered, the average speed you’ve kept, the highest speed you’ve reached, how much time has passed, and - if you select the cost-per-kilometer option - how much it is so far.
Select the
button to keep alive the device, so not to let it go on stand by and have it automatically disable the GPS. The
button, on the other hand, will activate the full screen option that further on we'll examine more in detail.
Let’s now see the option menu instead, accessible via the
button.
From there, it's possible set a series of controls to keep your speed under check. By specifying a maximum value for the instantaneous and/or average speed, exceeding that limit will cause the speed indicator to turn red and a sound signal to go off. If you'd like the app to work as a kind of taximeter, or if you want to know how much your travel is costing you, you can set a cost per kilometer. You can also specify how precise you want the instantaneous speed to be: an integer, a one- or a two-figure decimal. When the fullscreen mode is on we are also shown a series of buttons, showing different speeds, to switch quickly between the limits more common to us. And, last but not least, you can have the app record a log with the data of your travel. The app will remember our favorite settings also on each following use.
Here, the menu where it's possible to select which limits to show on the fullscreen mode.
Once we’ve got back to the home page, clicking the
button will take us to a screen with more specific information, this time relative to the GPS signal. That means that we will be able to see how many satellites the device is able to detect, how many it has fixed, what is the current dilution of precision of the GPS, our altitude, latitude and longitude.
Let's now see aspect and functions of the Landscape mode, activated by rotating the device.
The home page is fairly close to the one we've already seen, except for the slightly different layout of the buttons. Tap on
to activate the full-screen (also available in Portrait): since there are times when a lot of information is too much, and rather than being a help it just hinders us, on here you will only see the instantaneous speed, displayed as an integer and with a much bigger font, so to be clear and immediate.
We'll find the Keep Alive button on there as well; as for the unit of measure, again, if you want to change it you only need to tap on it. In order to be aware if the device is working or not, if the GPS signal is strong enough to work with you'll see the
icon appear on screen. And, at the bottom, the buttons to switch between preset limits.
With the 1.2 release some improvements have been made to the HUD mode. Accessible via the
button, it will show a mirrored version of the regular display. Why that? Try and put your device on the dashboard, you'll get to see your speed projected on the windshield.

HUD
Hi,
could you implement (in fullscreen mode) the "HUD" mode? that means informations are displayed "mirrored", and then you can put device on dashboard of a car - under windshield. Then all is displayed at glass - looks terrific
It would be great improvement.
Thanks
D.
Thanks fro sharing. Nice work. Ill buy you a coffee.
That is looking amazing savrix85. Simple in use. Well i will check can i change the icon more to CHT and possible white and black GTX. I will publish the first screenshots here...
EDIT 1:
What not so nice is, i can' t change the graphics.
Only the lamp on/off png.
Is there the posibillity in the future?
great
Thanks for your time and effort, looks nice

Hi mike2nl, I would like to make the app skinnable, but it's not a priority. Now I'm working on the HUD
option, but the skinnig is in the plans

Thanks
nice app
the ui is simple and clean just how i love it.
just tested it on a walk outside. worked pretty good after it took some seconds to find the sattelites
Really fantastic application!
Out of all the other similar applications that I've tried, this one actually works, and works great at it.
I have some suggestions, if it's not a problem:
I would like to see a logging feature to keep records.
What I'd also like is if it showed the "trip" start/end times and a total duration from when you tap on "start" and when you tap "stop" which could also be included in the log.

Hi savrix85,
i have tested the app yesterday on my way at home and today in the morning on way to the office. Cool..to say it in one word. Simply to use and the right information. The app does what you have say.
Future request:
- possibillty to mirror the view to put the phone on the dash board in the car
- please remove the mondomobile.altervista.org from main to settings -> about screen. Because now it looks no longer clean and nice. I understand that you wil show the author, but every coder do this in about. Only an idea
- +1 for this from Max_Terrible

Your app is one of the simplest and cleanest apps i have seen here on XDA. No schnick-schnack only clean. The balck and white contrast is very good for our old eyes . I will use the version i have downloaded yesterday, because it is clean on main and it is working. Thanks for sharing this fine app.
Really, nice App. Like someone else said, it actually works!!!
As an older user with, sadly, poorer eyesight, it would be nice to be able to make the font even bigger. Another thought would be the ability to set multiple speed points with the colour changing at the different points, eg the various speed limits 50kph, 60kph, 80kph, 100kph etc.
Once again, thanks for a useful app. Works well on my HD2
I've released SpeedoPhone 1.1. You can see the changelog in the third post.
Now the app is also available at the XDA Market.

1. possibillty to mirror the view to put the phone on the dash board in the car
2. please remove the mondomobile.altervista.org from main to settings -> about screen. Because now it looks no longer clean and nice. I understand that you wil show the author, but every coder do this in about. Only an idea
3. +1 for this from Max_Terrible: "I would like to see a logging feature to keep records. What I'd also like is if it showed the "trip" start/end times and a total duration from when you tap on "start" and when you tap "stop" which could also be included in the log."

1. DONE! It's in the 1.1 release.
2. Yeah, that was temporary to begin with. I have some ideas for the "about" section, in fact... but it's one of those things that gets postponed as long as there are features I have more fun working on
3. added to the to do list!
4. I've increased slightly the dimension of the font on the pages with info and settings, but I couldn't do more than that.
5. I'd prefer not to implement that one, but a feature that I'd like to work on is the possibility to set quickly a set of standard speed limits (50kph, 60kph, etc) just by tapping on a button.
Hi, first of all, many thanks for this cool app.
Ii notice this glitch and bad translation on the last release (see capture)...
And now some request :
-add altitude to dashboard and fullscreen
-add button to settings to open your homepage (with default browser not IE with the donate button)
-Improve the HUD quality button
-are you interresting by french translation ?
don't download the 1.1 version. I'll fix it this afternoon when I'm at home
is 1.1 available in english? looks cool

Bugs fixed in the 1.11 release, thanks for reporting them.
now your request:
-I've to say no to this cause I would leave the fullscreen as clean as possible and in the dashboard, in non-wide devices, there's no more space to add info.
-I've used IE cause using the default browser, Opera in my case, gives me an error when it tries to open the link. If I'll find the right solution, I'll make it.
-what do you mean? the HUD button shows "blurred" or simply you don't like it?
-yes, I'm interested. I'll PM you for this

I've released the 1.11. It fixes the bugs mentioned by Albator and some minor others
Problem with the new HUD mode.I have always a big 0,not center, km/h missing... Miss something ?
And for button quality, i like it but but it's glow (up, down, right, left) around circle.
I've made a little mistake in the HUD code, now it should be ok
In the HUD mode the mirrored speed is aligned to the left cause you can see it aligned to the right in your windshield. It's not centered cause I had to do that with images to combine to show the mirrored speed. When I'll find a more elegant way to do that, I believe it will be centered.
Km/h misses cause I didn't want to mirror it.
If you download it again, the glow around the circle shouldn't be there any longer
