Retro PPC 1.07.02 for WM5 and WM6
~ Official Website ~​I've made this little plugin that displays an analog clock, similar to those wall clocks.
It is a PPC port of my previously-released Retro plugin for the smartphone
You can make your own skin with your PC and REdit. Look below and download it. (REdit needs .NET Framework 2.0 installed on your PC).
News:
Development on Retro is stopped, for now. If you are really interested on bringing it ahead, please contact me by PM or email and maybe I'll release the source.
Main Features:
completely skinnable
skins work like photoshop files (with layers)
antialiased-grade graphics quality, better than alternatives (namely spbclock)
can be centered, left, right aligned with a margin
can create stunning effects: canvas shadows, hand shadows, transparent clocks, glass translucency, semi-transparency, etc...
real-time second hand motion (for faster PDAs)
How To Install:
Retro is compatible with WM5 and upwards!
Run the CAB file on your PDA, make sure to choose to install it into internal memory.
Put additional clock files (skins) created by others into the install dir, then you can choose them in the plugin options under Settings - Today - Items tab. The CAB file already comes with 3 basic skins.
I hope you like it.
Where to download:
Retro and REdit can be found on their official site.
Known bugs:
- does not work correctly with non-square clock sizes
- clock will not update while the screen is locked
Version history:
Retro Update 04-03-2008 v1.07.02

- Added 24-Hour hand.

yes, but that is the smartphone version...
the plugin is all about drawing the clock over the background.
i made a screenshot in the emulator
EDIT: screenshot in the 1st post
No one is interested?
oh my god
Simply, but Awesome,
thanks dude
Good app
It's good. You should know that rlToday does this already and more. I do like yours better though as there is less screen flicker when going back tot he Today screen. You need more examples. Also when clicking on the clock it should open the clock applet liek the standard one does. A smaller clock available would be good, with a second hand. And the date printed somewhere.
Thanks!

I didn't know rlToday.
I got informed about it, and I saw all that can do... I will not do all the calendar things, etc... but I will for sure add digital date/time display(it was already in the plans), if I see enough popular will
For the smaller clock issue, well, you can do one for yourself. Also REdit has an option to resize clocks, so you can resize the Austere clock which has the seconds hand (included with the package) to better fit your screen.
This is excellent
has kept me busy for the last hour making a rough and ready skin from the Omega Seamaster. Found an iage of one on the 'net and started Photoshopping from there...
Images are photographic so blurred slightly when resized, but generally pleased for a first attempt.
Might have another go at some point and make one from scratch.
Here it is:

is you device wm5 or wm6?
check that the following registry key exists:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\GMT Retro Clock\
needed: instructions for skinning & size adjustment?
Hi thenext1
thanks for a very nice plugin
i installed with no problems
after install it did not show, all what i needed is just to go to settings, today & check mark next to plugin ..
i was also able to adjust options from there
the large VGA clock works fast with my qvga phone, but how can i adjust the size? do you have that black one in qvga form?
someone mentioned REdit? is that a software somewhere?
can you please provide some info regarding skinning, size & format adjustment?
THANKS..GREAT work..waiting for the one with digital clock & maybe date (long/short format please eg. Saturday, 17 November 2007 vs 11/17/2007)

clocks aren't resizable from Retro... you should download REdit (see 1st post), open the clock with it, and then use the "resize clock" function in the Tools menu. Be advised taht resized clocks forcedly look worse than the original ones!...
can you please provide some info regarding skinning, size & format adjustment?

skinning...well....skins are layered files (up to 30 layers) with PNG files attached to them, so there's alpha transpparency... try downloading REdit and familiarizing with it ...

I will be available soon... now I'm in a hurry ... thanks for the interest!

If your pocket PC is not english, the setup have placed the wrong key into the registry. Please uninstall and try the file i've updated in the 1st page.
Thanks to JueLue for the explanation!

Good Job..
Do you have any plan for hand writing?
Pretty app, i am going to test it right now. Will report feedback soon when needed
For xda people it would be fine to have 'english' screenshots, I can imagine most of them wonder what 'Velikost pisma' means
Good luck with next progress.

Not yet. Maybe in future...
hej, vyzera dobre
But yes indeed, guys, please use English. I am Polish, and besides have spent the weekdays of last 18 months in a Praha office, so do understand what you're talking about, but other XDA users may not be so lucky.
And, sirus, your English is not at all bad, come on ;-) Except maybe the tagline of your app... shouldn't that be "Write what you think"?

Cool app. Keep up the good work
Hello
Please, contact me if you want the French translation.
Everyone who wants to translate WMM Notes to a new language is welcome. Just translate the files in the directory Lang and sent them to my email. Language will be added in next version. Or upload it to the directory and Lang program detects automatically when the next launch.
Ok Sirus, I will send you
Update, please look on first post.
I have spread the word on 1800PocketPC, thanks for the app
Sirius teraz budes slavny
Inac preco si o tomto neinformoval na WMM manii? Ci ano ale ja o tom neviem?
Just for Sirius, u don' need to understand this
Works great
is it possible to synchronize with the PC?
Evernote Integration
I use Evernote a lot. Only that I don't like the Evernote UI too much.
It would be worthwhile integrating with Evernote. Right now there isn't any app on WM that uses custom UI to integrate with evernote.
This one is a java client: http://kenai.com/projects/en4j
Hi Sirius,
I'm still using your ROM and still be entusiastic
I'm only sorry there is no newer one ... it's a pity
But now to this proggy ... it sounds very nice, I just installed it BUT
I already got an error, I was trying the "gren button" on the bottom and I got an error message it says: "An error occurred on sub _main_uloz_poznamky." it then says it can display the error message because I am missin the "NETCF ..." everything is not the problem, the problem is I CANNOT CLOSE this page, on the bottom after a long text it asks "Continue?" but I cannot ... may be there are bottons therefore but I cannot reach them ...
making the windows smaller does not work, moving it up neither, closing the app is not cancelling the error page ...
May be I have to reset the Touch Cruise ... but this should be the last opcion ...
May be another info, I did NOT write anything before pressing the "green arrow" button ...
Thank you for your great job

Update Description:
v0.5.2:
- Fixed Version 0.5.1.
https://sites.google.com/site/siruswm/download
Hi,
I've been checking out xda-developers for a while now, just for fun in the beginning. But three months ago i bought my very own hd2, and I started developing So I've been making this today screen replacement called Genius Suit. It's something completely new. I tried to actually make themes of actual pictures to give the user a richer experience. A 'alpha' version is kind of working on my hd2 now, quicker than I expected. Well, enough talking, let me show it to you!
Features:
- Immersive experience through real pictures!
- Live wallpapers (called motions within the Suit)
- Weather forcast
- Start menu replacement
- Music/Video player. (Not fully implented yet)
- Draggable icons
- Desktop windows like task manager
To be implented (to do list):
- Full video and audio support
- OpenGL acceleration (already made some progress here)
- A functional settings menu
- Make it a today screen plugin (now only an .exe file)
- Replace the default windows manager (kind of hard)
- Speed tweaks
- Maybe some widget support
I might be opening this up for beta testing in the next month or so, depends on how quickly I can implent most of my to do list
Let me know what you think!
Maxim
EDIT: For some reason I can't implement outside links or something, says the moderators have to aprove me, so you will have to wait for screenshots
you didn't show anything. you only let us read
any screenies or any sort of teaser?
i'm sure lot's of people will be dying to try.
keep up the good work!
oops.. dbl post
just put the link with a * in it or something..
curious to see the layout, but the today screen plugin is a very good PLUS for me...
i hope is not only for HD2...i have a tilt2....
Are you certain that it's 'Suit' and not 'Suite'?
Anyway, looking forward to seeing this. Holler if you need anything
More of an App than a Theme - so moved to that Forum

Now on market: Search for "MotoGP 2012 Schedule widget"
Hi Guys,
There must be a lot of MotoGP fans out there like me who want to stay in sync with the Race calendar through their android phones.
Searched on the market a lot for a light weight widget which shows upcoming race Found some good ones but then idea of creating my own widget for my phone came. It came out good hence decided to share it with others as well.
The screenshots and the apk are attached.
This widget doesn't connect to internet nor it accesses any resources on the phone.
It shows Race Date, Next Session (FP1, FP2, etc) and its timing converted to local timezone, Race Name, venue, etc.
How to use:
- Long press on an empty spot in your homescreen (preferably an empty screen itself since the widget is little big)
- Select 'Widgets'
- Select 'MotoGP Calendar Widget'
I tested this on HTC EVO 3D, Nexus One, HTC Incredible using Go Launcher and Default Sense.
Venturing for the first time into the world of android apps. Your suggestions, feedback, complaints are welcome though please be gentle on criticism
Disclaimer: All the images that are displayed are from the following link and I take no ownership of it: motogp.com/en/calendar+circuits
I am in no way connected to Dorna Sports or MotoGP nor working for them nor is this an official app.
PS: Hope I have posted this on the right section. If not my apologies in advance and please move this thread appropriately.
Hi i want to ask if someone in the forum could modifie the app TouchOSC and add the possibility to have customizable layout and labels also in Android and not only in iOS!!
TouchOSC's site is: http://hexler.net/software/touchosc-android
The app is also in Google Play and it's free and it isn't warez!!
There are a lot of people asking for it, please devs help us!!
Mod Edit: Moved to Q&A
TouchOSC Layout "work-around"
Hi there, i have posted in another thread a modified TouchOSC.apk with LiveControl layout replacing Mix16, weather you use this or not is up to you but i'm just letting you know that there is a work-around method talked about (not explained) in the same thread although for compatibility reasons layouts need to be removed so that feature won't be there, sorry
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25449635#post25449635
Thanks solfire77,i've already read that thread and i have modified the file...but it's very complex and annoying!! And labels don't work on that version!!!
We hope in an update by hexler
TouchOSC REMIX Deck C for Android
hi guys, i have managed to make a layout for my Acer Iconia A501/A500.
the layout has FX control for all Slots and volume control for all slots, FX x/y pad and needs to work with Bome's Midi Translator Pro.
i forgot to bring it with me to work to upload.
i will make a zip package with the apk and the Bome's Midi Translator Pro settings and traktor pro's TSI file.
with my layout you can change the sample pages and trigger all 16x slots for all pages with traktor running full screen. and the rest for the controls are all MIDI direct with traktor.
let me know if you would like to try it out?
