Hello,
I write a little Today Plugin to configure and switch between differents phone modes. The system/phone volume, the ring mode and the SMS, reminders notifs are customizable. The graphics too.
I use it for 2 weeks now but I'd like some people try it and give me their feedback, comments...
You can find all here : PocketZenPhone
These are the future of phone profile control, as far as I can tell. Yours is now the second app to provide this functionality, and more can only be good. The other one is PhoneProfilesSeriously (seriously ), which seems to be full of bugs, judging by the comments made in these forums.
I have some comments about your software. Hope this helps!
- The icons are too big. Maybe we could have the option to choose the profile using smaller icons on the Today screen? I know that we can make our own icons, but even if they are smaller with a transparent surrounding, they will still use the same space on the Today screen.
- I would like more than four definable profiles.
- It would be nice to be able to choose a specific sound to be played for each alert type in each profile (i.e. complete alert- and profile-specific sounds).
Good work!
I can say it's a promising start. However, the setup screen will make THE difference. It's a bit difficult to adjust the configuration using the text file . It reminds me when I was using Borland C++ to develop Win 3.1 applications before the first VB version
I have to do many trials to get the desired result.
Keep going ... Good work!! ... but waiting for the user friendly version
Excellent LITTLE utility.
I had bought "My Phone Profiles", and removed it to use this one. "My phone Profiles" was buggy and made the whole device very slow.
You might want to try the attached settings. Just unzip and copy to:
\Program Files\PocketZenPhone\
I say excellent work (especially with the extra icons)
One thing: Could you find an easier way to setup the profiles, better than to tweak the Phonesettings.txt file
I currently add a window to set the phone modes and I will try to add more settings (notifs ...)
But I have not many time to program this software so it will take a little time to implement new fontions ...
The version 2 is online (download and doc here : http://zendrui.free.Fr )
I add a configuration window and allow to customize the notifications.
I will maybe try to allow to configure the sound for the notification and maybe ring tone but later ...
I don't touch to the icons size for the moment but if it is a big problem I will see :wink:
As always do not hesitate to give me your feedbacks
Thanks
PS : If somenone has made his own icons could it share them ?
Does this software work with WM2002 as well?
I compiled it using the Pocket PC 2003 SDK but I don't use any PPC2003 specific functions.
So this should work under PPC2002 but I cannot try as my XDA is under WM2003...
Let me know if it works ... if not I will try to make a PPC2002 version ...
Being new to this I downloaded the files but they are not the installer type that automaticly install,
They are .001 files what do I do with them?
On a WM2002 machine the programme (v2, 26-2-2004) does not seem to install correctly. After copying and executing the cab file it looks like it installs and it does make the PocketZenPhone directory, but no .exe file can be found. Did I do something wrong?
To Jim
Just copy the file as it is to your device, and run it from there. It will install automatically as a today plugin.
You should have download a .cab file (PocketZenPhone.arm.cab exactly)
Copy it on your pocket (through activeSync for example)
Then on your pocket click on this .cab
It will install automatically the Today plugin.
After that go to Settings->Today->Items and you should see PocketZenphone in the list (it should be checked)
Simply click on ok and when you return to the today page the plug in should appear...
PS for vhan3 : This is not an exe file but a dll file ... so it is normal you don't see it directly on your pocket ... The cab file only creates the registry keys, create the directory and copy the dll on it
No comments at this time but this nice program seems to have lots of promise.
Thanks
Nice work, zendrui
Just 3 comments:
1. After first install, all profiles volumes are set to -1 (Perharps because of an empty regisrty at this time). Should set default values like in V1
2. Uninstall is... arrrggg... impossible until you rename dll and reset. Now, I know... no matter (First tried to uninstall after above bug occured)
3. WORKS GREAT !!! VERY NICE TOOL, VERY USEFULL TOO. THANK YOU !

Thanks for the tips. I tried this on my Qtek 2020: no problems, however on my XDA-1 (WM2002) the plug-in does not appear, nor is it visible in the Today item list.
How do you rename the Dll?

Hello,
1) Ok I will add default params for each modes
2) To uninstall a today plugin you have to disable it before uninstall it.
So to uninstall PocketZenPhone, simply go to Settings->Today->Items, then uncheck PocketZenphone in the list. After that you can uninstall it without any problem (no reset ...)
3) Thanks feel free to give more comments

Thanks a lot. On my Qtek 2020 your programme works great and just as advertised. It is exactly what I needed so I hope you will be able to compile it for PPC2002 as well. I'll test it for you.
where do i put my picture so that i can have them as the back ground on my today screen,
if i use the pictures out of "my picures" and use the browse setting in the today section, the picture is misty,
but if i select the default settings they are perfectly clear,
so!!!!
can i put my pictures where these are kept (spiral, and windows default etc) then they should be clear too!! "YES"?
the "backgrounds" you are talking about are not really just pictures but themes
the files are called .tsk
the reason your background are not that good quality is most likely that they are in the wrong size and have to be autoresized by the device if you resize them to the right res then i'm sure they too will be fine
thanks for that info,but i have tried that and its still not as clearas the "skin"
any other idea's can i change the picture in the skin some how??
where do i find.tsk then??
where the tsk files are located i'm not sure a good place to look is in windows\
you can make your own themes / tsk files using a theme maker for pocketpc
http://www.pdatoday.com/more/917_0_1_0_M/
the .TSK files can be anywhere on your device and the today part will pick them up.
even if they are on an SD card.
what you need is the theme generator to create them. I'm using one that i had when i had the XDA device
just will not update the XDAII so i have to save to HDD first then copy across manually.
works a treat for me.
try some of these...
urrr? lol
ok thanks!! whats HDD, and copy across manually, how do i that,
where do i get a theme generator from?
(i am using an xda11
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/extthemegen/?en
http://www.freewareppc.com/misc/themegenerator.shtml
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&ie=UTF-8&q=theme+generator&btnG=Google-søgning
whats HDD, and copy across manually, how do i that,
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HDD is harddisk often called c: in ones computer
you get the file to your device by
1 copying it to pocketpc documents in your my documents dir and then sync with activesync
2 connect with activesync and press the button called explore device
i thought it was gonna be a little more technical than that lol,
now, i have d loaded from them links, but when i run them i get an error,
do ineed to put them on the xda then run from there?
God this man needs serious help! Isn't this one of the most simplest things to do? go to microsoft.com and install the theme generator from the mobile section when u have used it save the them nut DO NOT send it to device instead copy and paste it from where u saved it into your devices windows directory or my documents its fairly simple
well i must need help then mate, or is it your instructions to a novice, as
i have tried to figure out what to do with the info you have provided, and still not working,
i have download the theme generator from this site http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/extthemegen/?en
what i cant understand is where to put them exactly as i have tried to do what you lot have said and it i get error messages!!
if its not to much bother for you please list exaclty what i need to do as i have tried and it dont work!!
(whats this mean, please "save the them nut DO NOT" etc etc")

That was a mistake I dunno where the NUT came from! that SPB thing you downloaded will not install without microsfts theme generator! get it here : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/themegenerator.mspx Now once you have installed and made your 'Theme' Using the simple instructions then at the very last part it gives you a chance to save your theme - If you select 'Send to device' checkbox it will not because I presume your running windows mobile 2003 so save the file on your Hardrive - Lets say your desktop! Now once thats done copy and paste your theme thats on your desktop and place it in your 'Mobile My documents' Directory which should also be on your desktop now next time you sync your phone your theme will be sent to your phone and then you can use it from there! God I hope that helps :-(
EXCELLENT, THANKS, IT WORKS NOW
YES IT WAS DEAD EASY,
WITH GOOD INTRUCTIONS AND THE CORRECT PROGRAMS
CHEERS

Works on my Touch Pro just fine. Indagroove has a ROM for the touch pro & the diamond that is sashimi compliant. Install the ROM, install sashimi, reboot & off you go!
ROMs don't need to be SASHIMI compliant. You set it up on your SD card and just launch it directly from there. It'll automatically set up anything you have configured. It' a brilliant service! And it deserves a link to the official site/thread, too:
http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4
Be sure to watch the videos - they show you exactly how to do your initial setup.
Any one has al ink to that app or can e-mail it to me?

Essential for me. I wouldn't flash as much as I do if it wasn't for that. I donated for that app.

Yup...you can download it from the below site. It's the site the creator of SASHIMI made.

heres a program i made to go with sashimi
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582421
...............
Isn't this forbidden by the mod/owner?
Since I can't find Sashimi anywhere, is there an alternative stand-alone solution to CABs multi-installs?
I attached SASHIMI for you. I am using it for more than a year now and if/when you set it up for your taste you can automate almost everything after a new ROM flash
Or just try UC Net. It is better as Sashimi and works also on new ROM's.
Sashimi better than other customization systems
Though Sashimi stopped development I can say it is the best!!
I think people did not give time to understand the way its files work and thats why they prefer other systems that do the half work.
Other systems donot put folders or files in any device directory, they dont install mortscripts, they donot add whole files to documents folder they dont execute .reg files and makisu xml with email and wifi settings.
I wrote these lines just to tell that Bengalin did a clever brilliant job though it did not widely adapted from the phone communities.
Maybe, if people want to try it, I will write a tutorial for its basic functions and maybe Bengalin is going to come again with a new version.

The above mentioned program does all this you mentioned, plus creates automatically shortcuts individuallt or from whole folders just with a simple text file command, moves or deletes files etc etc. You can also create numbered folders with files, exes, mscrs, reg etc, which are processed one after the other. At the beginning you can choose what folders should be processed. The only thing i miss from Sashimi is the resume feature, but as it never fails during installation i really don't need it.

There is a resume feature in Sashimi.If the installation fails at some point and you restart the device and run sashimi again, then it asks you to resume or not.
Also there is no need for text file command for adding a shortcut.You just copy your tree in the root folder of auto sashimi and then the file or shortcut appears where you want it.For example, if you want to add a shortcut in start menu you copy the tree in auto sashimi root folder like this:Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games/BubbleBreaker.lnk
But how you move or delete files?

Let's pretend I'm new to windows mobile. (I am). Can anyone tell me HOW I get to these HKEY directories that everything is edited in. If anyone could give me a step-by-step instruction on how to install or modify anything at all in the phone, I would greatly appreciate it.
Please start the steps right after the 'Turn on phone' step, as I am fairly confident I have that under control. Every time I've asked this question on other forums I just get links to different forums with no helpful information below a certain level of expertise. I have never coded or done anything other than drag and drop folders, etc so a dumbed down version of how to start and I can learn from there. Anything! PLEASE!!! I hate having this amazing machine and not being able to utilize it.
oh, Touch Pro, sprint
First you need to install a registry editor. The two most used are PHM (free http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/) or Resco Explorer (paid http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/). I prefer Resco, but everyone has their own pref.
And installation, you fire it up and simply navigate it to your registry. Pretty straightforward.
I downloaded the free one but it isn't showing up in my phone. I navigated to its folder on my pc and everything seems to be zipped. when I unzip the file extensions are *.001 and I can't open or access them. am I doing something wrong ?
also, if anyone can explain to me how to install .net framework ?

i assume you need the new 3.5 .net compact framework.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en
You simply download and install the file on your computer (not your mobile device). This file will install the framework on your computer and will activate the add/remove programs on the sync center, so the next time you connect your touch pro it will ask to install the program. Then you just follow any instructions displayed on your touch pro for final installation and you're set to go!
here's on .Net http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=470
It has an extra app to choose a default .Net.
There's also a Tips and Tricks section and a walk through for TouchFlo3D at fuzemobility.com that you may want to try.
I can relate to this problem.

I have a Alltel HTC Touch Pro. The software that came with it does not work with Vista. I googled active sync for Vista, I got links to Windows Mobile Device Center. I installed that onto my desktop. It syncs my phone to my desktop, but only shows my device memory and the storage card. I have installed downloaded and installed net.frame. When I downloaded Advanced Config Tool and draged and drop (also copied & pasted) into the device memory and tried to click the cab. file it only shows that it will go to the c: drive on my desktop. I do not see anything showing for the windows on my device. Hopefully someone can post some useful infomation about this. Yes I did use search, that lead me here. There are lots of complete noobs. Before we can add useful information for others. ( like showing off the really cool function of these new phones we have to be able to use them ourselves. Thanks for any help.
Here's some tips that might help you:
When plugging your Touch Pro into your PC via USB, you should be prompted on the Touch Pro whether you want to connect as "ActiveSync" or "Disk Drive". You should click "ActiveSync" for installing applications.
If you are using your desktop PC and download an application for your Touch Pro, it will typically be .exe or .cab. The .exe files are intended to run on your desktop PC first, and will then trigger an installation to your Touch Pro through ActiveSync (Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista).
If the file is a .cab, it is intended to run on your Touch Pro directly and will install the program. To move a .cab to your Touch Pro, you use the explore feature in ActiveSync (or similar feature in Mobile Device Center), and drag and drop. (Alternatively, you can download .cab files directly onto your phone from the source website using the Opera web browser). Once the .cab is on your Touch Pro, you use the file explorer program on your phone to naviagte to the file and then execute it.
When you install programs onto your TouchPro, a dialogue appears on the phone to walk you through the installation. To save your phone's shared memory, you can install programs to your memory card. Unfortunately, some applications work best when installed onto the phone versus installing them onto the memory card.
Hope that helps
Thank you very much for your reply. I'll give this another try. I had the Alltel HTV Touch Flo awhile back and was running XP on the desktop. If I remember correctly, I saw my device in the tree layout with the software running XP. I gave the Touch Flo to a family member and got a BlackBerry Curve. Wanted to go back to a windows platform for the versitilty of programs. I know everything has a learning curve to it. With lots of reading and study, trial and error, and help from generous people here. Noobs like myself can get a lot more use and enjoyment from their devices. Each new version that comes out is getting faster, more powerful, and has more features. Others see these things that we have and want one. It would be helpful if we could help them to see all the possibilities that are there. The I Phone gets a lot of attention with commercials and has opened up for new apps being developed. There are as many, if not more apps for widows. We just have to learn to implement them with our device. I know I did not start this thread, but others can see the original posters title and understand their, and my question. Thanks again to the reply, and to anyone else who comes up with more help for the noobs.
Yeap thats right! I confirm that it works just fine..In Cyprus is not Official yet but we can make it work here and of course on any country thanks to the guy who made it!
here's how it goes:
First download and install the free Zune software from Microsoft.
Having done that, click on the Start button or orb and in the search box type regedit and hit Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Features
Here double-click on Marketplace – you will see the codes of the following countries:
AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NL,NZ,SG,US
You will see the same value data for Apps and SignInAvailable too.
Now one after the other, in each of these three – Marketplace, Apps, SignInAvailable, modify the value data, by adding your Country code.
I just write CY (Cyprus)
It should now look like this:
AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NL,NZ,SG,US,CY
Exit regedit.
NOW connect your Windows Phone to your Windows Computer.
Your Zune software will automatically start and you will be alerted with a following message:
FEATURES HAVE CHANGED!
Click OK.
You will see the Marketplace tab too now, in your Zune software.
Here not only can you download Free apps, you can also BUY the Paid apps, legally!
Select the App you want and click on the FREE button to install it. If its a Paid app, you can choose to Try it first or Buy it directly.
There is one hitch. The next time you connect your Windows Phone, you may not see the Marketplace option. This means that you will have to modify the registry every time you connect it. I have therefore created this registry file which I first double-click on, to add its contents to my Windows registry, and then connect my Windows Phone to my Windows 7 computer.
ALSO CHECK WP7 MARKET PLACE ENABLER:
Do note that, you may have to first run the Enabler, before, every time you connect your Windows Phone.
works like a charm!!!!

yes same problem, kindly respond
You can download free apps only, you can't buy paid apps.
Because you have to register a credit card that was issued from a country which already supported WP7
I've been into this before
Thats strange guys... I have the Features folder in the registry!
Try and add it by yourselves.. Try to sign in into Zune...let it update and then close it in order to make this tweak! If you still can not find it please create the values in regedit! Go to regedit then HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\ and create a key inside Zune...Now call it Marketplace and then open it..Now on the right side just create a string value and put inside you country code... Try reopen Zune...
Have you tried the MARKET PLACE ENABLER????

I had the same problem but I did the market place enabler first but it returned a message that some features may not work. It went on run and I saw the message FEATURES HAVE CHANGED. I connected my phone but didn't see the market tab. I'm still trying.
However, I checked the Regedit and this time the features folder was there and my country already added! I didn't have to enter it.
Market place enabler will do the trick! try and download a free application and tell me if it's working!

ok, it now works. The trick/(s)? I logged off my pc and signed in as adminstrator. I run the market enabler without issues this time, connected my phone, zune lauched automatically and viola! market place tab is there for me to start exploring. I have that belief though that we will not be able to buy cos the credit card will tell the region from which you are and return errors but who in the first place thought we'd have windows 7 on this hd2? That is therefore small a problem that I know someone on xda will solve some day...thanks
Glad it worked for you also bro! You can now download free applications with no problem at all!
I haven't checked the paid apps because i never buy anything! LOL!
Good luck!
Do note that, you may have to first run the Enabler, before, every time you connect your Windows Phone.

Free Apps -------------- |x|Check
Paid Apps -------------- | | How to buy them if you can't even register your cc ?
Some people reported that this method works on free and paid apps.. But i will not risk it to buy anything! Free apps are still good!

same to me
no luck here
To activate features, create a new Key at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Zune named "FeaturesOverride", then create DWORD (32-bit) values inside the key "FeaturesOverride" with the following names, "Marketplace" and "SignInAvailable" setting their value to “1” to turn them on.
I tryed ewerything and still cant go to market place. It keeps saying
``marketplace is not available in your country/region.``
if someone can help me i appreciate
regards
i did everything, but when i try to download an free up, it forces me to sign in, but i don't have a zune account and nor can i create one in greece i use my hotmail and a blank terms and conditions page appears. no matter what i press, i get the same error: can't submit your acceptance....blah blah blah check your internet connection. oh, and when i try to create an account directly from the program after i enter all the info, it will simply get stuck at the final 'signing in' part. if i click finish, it'll be as if nothing happened!!

Man i will give you a simple solution! If in Greece you can't get Market place to work and you dont have an account just listen to this!
Register on Zune and make a new account...Write your hotmail and on postal code just go to Google and write "USA Postal codes"... Copy a postal code from there and paste it in Zune and you will have a US account ready to sign in! I use the Market place just fine!
here you are...postal codes:
