So this isn't really a "Diamond" application, but this is the only forum I post in, and I wanted to share this so maybe other people can find it useful.
While I was checking out of the grocery store tonight, I realized I had left my "preferred savings" card in my car's glove compartment as usual. Naturally, my train of thought derailed into Windows Mobile development and how I could make my life easier. The answer was simple: why can't I save all my card bar codes on my Windows Mobile Device and have the cashier scan the image from my cell phone? It would save wallet space and be really cool to boot!
So obviously, I came home and whipped up a program to do just that. Any cards that you scan with a bar code reader can now easily be imported and stored on your phone!

does this work,
I thought due the the polarised nature of LCD screens they would be unreadable by most barcode readers!

I hope so! I'm going to check tomorrow when I head into the office. We have a couple bar code readers laying around.

Good idea! Unfortunately, most bar code readers won't read backlit displays

Glad you boys mentioned this!
Ive beennn doing this ever since my Nokia 7710. I caried my "ID" on my 7710. When ever I was asked fo ID i just pulled put my 7710.
Sooo yes this can be done on any Barcode-ID app.
Boys time to leave that ID home!
They wont even know the Difference with that GORGEous VGA Screen!!!!
Cheers Bradas!!!

This doesnt seem to work with my norwegian bar codes, dunno if we use another standard than you, or not.

When entering these i get a NullReferenceException in RefreshBarCode()
WindowsLessControls.StandardBitmap.get_Width()

Weird, the first and the third number worked for me (try redownloading the CAB). The program really only supports 12 digit bar codes though (UPC). I haven't written in support for other formats yet (Code 39, etc).

Doesn't seem to want to work with my cooked ROM. I get 'An unexpected error has occurred in WMBarCode.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program.'
And when I restart, I get the screen in the image.
Anyone else confirm this?

A nice next step would be to scan the barcodes with the onboard camera.

I have the SAME problem as this. Running Tilt 2 with 6.5 stock rom

Does this require anything other than the cab for download at the link?
says "Download the Bar Code Manager and API here"
What is the API? I REALLY want to use this app

I have installed this and typed the number from a store card. Where do I type the name for the card? After typing in the number in the one edit box the barcode, on screen, does not resemble the barcode on the card. If I type any text in the edit box I get "An unexpected error has occured in WMBaeCode.exe" NullReferenceException
Help!

Same stuff happening here on ever rom ive tried. I really want sometihng like this

Can someone post a mirror? The website linked is not working.

Do you think you can provide a slightly better tutorial on how to set up your cards. I can't get any of mine to work, and not all grocery store cards are 12 digits. Any way you can add support for those?

Great program, I've been using it for a long time now and I don't know if there's any development on this, but it would be great for it to support 2D codes too. Thanks

Today screen plugin for Bluetooth and Wireless

I had a Today screen plugin that I was using, and I have no idea how I got it, but I did a hard reset and now I have lost it. I'm using Sleuth 3, but it doesn't seem to be part of the ROM.
It consisted of a narrow status area that showed the name of my network operator and below that my wireless LAN status (disconnected or not) on the left, and then on the right side of the screen it showed whether my Bluetooth was on or off. I know there are probably a million plugins that look like that, but maybe somebody could point me in the right direction!
i think those both are just today screen items...go to start menu, settings, today, then the items tab. I would think its some kind of bluetooth or BT box you have to check...it depends on what type of rom your using...
~j
lol we both had the same posts....
until now
~j
I tried ticking all the available options and it never seemed to appear. I found a screenshot of someone else that was using it on the Today screen post. In the attached image, have a look at the plugin that says AT&T with WiFi and the Bluetooth symbol. Anybody recognize it?

Kaiser Tweak
Download and install Kaiser Tweak and about 3/4 way down you will find the option to enable "Wireless Today", this is what you are looking for.
It is already in your ROM you just need to tool to enable it.
Aaah, that makes sense, because I didn't remember installing it last time and I had fiddled with Kaiser Tweak. Got it back, thanks for the help!
I use a today plugin that allows me to switch BT/WiFi/Phone on/off as required - get it from http://www.paulbdesign.com/effcomm/ (the screenshot - capture0001.jpg - shows you what it looks like, so you can see what you're getting before you download it ).
It's nice and simple, doesn't use much screen real estate and it does what it says on the tin.....

i'm trying real hard but i cant see any plugin that says at&t, in fact i dont see anything on the today screen......am i even looking at a today screen? cause all i see is a naked woman
yeah, the t-mobile wing came with that today plug-in. it is labled 'TMO ONS' on the items menu.
i beleive its a built in software
It is built in - it's the Wireless Manager today applet.....
Download the attached CAB file, install it and then select "Wireless" in the list of items (you can move it up/down to get it where you want it). When you go back to your Today screen, it will be displayed.
There's a registry hack, and probably a CAB somewhere, that will allow CommManager to be launched when you tap on the Wireless plugin - you can search the Hermes Wiki for that one
Hope that helps you out....
Mark.
This is the original T-Mobile ONS cab that I got out of the Wing's extended rom. I use it on my xv6700 for Verizon and it works fine. It already links to the comm manager and the date links to
Clocks and Alarms shortcut in the settings menu.
thanks for those today screen plugins. I should mention though that they only work on htc devices.

Unable to get rid of Notification

After installing CM 5.0.5 I have a notification I just can't seem to get rid off.
The notification just says "Telenor SE" (which is the name of my provider) and it has a blue icon with some kind of circle in it and no matter what I do I can't get rid of it.
If I reboot the phone it disappears but as soon as I get a new notification, this one pops up again and I am stuck with it until I reboot again.
Anyone know what's causing this?

Nothing, it highlights if I press down on it but nothing else happens. No information about it or anything.
What else do you have installed?
mods,...
Looks like a SIM card service (we don't use them in the US) but they are prevalent on some GSM networks.
You should have stk.apk installed for this to function beyond just a notifier (SIM Toolkit services)
AOSP has STK available to build; it's not in 2.0/2.1 by default (was in 1.5/1.6)...
See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5901366
It could also be the topics info used on some networks for regional messaging (beyond Mobile Site ID name); I would put the sim in a known local operator phone and see if you can turn topics off.

You are definitely on to something here. I have an application called "SIM Tools" (translated from Swedish) which I assume is what you mean. In that program, I see that same blue icon all over the place, so it must be connected to this somehow. I cant remember seeing this application before either.
However, all I can do in here is check my bill and see how many text messages I've sent and a few other options, I am unable to find any way to turn the notification thing off.
I tried my old phone but it doesn't have any option to turn any topics off.
I tried ending the StkAppService and the notification disappeared, unfortunately it also had the side effect that the SIM card stopped working until I entered the code again
So it definitely has something to do with that service. There must be some way I can config it to get rid of that icon?

I am currently running with just CyanogenMod and no themes or anything else installed and the icon is still there.
The problem started with the 5.0.5 patch. I have gone through the changelog but I can't find anything that seems related to the SIM card in those notes.
It is the exact same icon I get if I don't put in a SIM card at all, so it must be trying to tell me that something is wrong with the card, but there's nothing wrong, everything is working fine.
Just bumping this to see if anyone else have an idea what this could be? Still can't get rid of it no matter what I do
Now running 5.0.5.3, not 5.0.5.1 like in the initial post

[Q] New Voice Search with Commands question

Sorry, I know that there are explanations on other device forums, but I can not for the life of me make this work and its driving me mad.
Someone please tell me if I have to have data plan to do this and it will save everyone a lot of time.
I use titanium to remove the google search/voice search/voice dialer
reboot
install new google search/voice search from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753097 (which is the only place I could find the apks.) and it should work as everyone has said... but every time it gives me connection error. Does it really need internet access to send a text message??? Generally it wont even let me finish talking before it says it.
Am I screwed by not having a data plan, or is there a way around this?
I am using vogue with incubus's 2.2 super froyo rls 12.
Thanks for your time.
I dont know the new voice commands.
But usually it uploads your recorded voice, than the google servers will try to find out what you said and than give you back the text or now the text and the actions the phone has to do.
So you need data for voice commands but not for sending a sms or something.
Correct me if im wrong.

Unfortunately, it DOES require a data connection...
But for anybody who has data, here's how I got it working...
No need to uninstall/remove anything
- Install/Update "Voice Search" from the Market. I couldn't get Google Search to install.
- Open Voice Search.
- When the window appears with the things you can say it doesn't show the whole window. I think there's 2 buttons at the bottom that you can't see. How I got past this was to press Down 4 time, Left once. This will select the "ok" or whatever button, and you won't have to do it anymore.
EDIT: Here's the pic I posted in the other thread to help anybody else.

THANK YOU. You just made my weekend. I couldn't figure out how to get past this
Another way around the startup dialog is to start it in landscape mode. The dialog fits in landscape mode. But I'll try to fix the portrait dialog with some apktool magic anyway.

Heads Up! SPB shell works on Nook Color and its awesome!

This didn't work for me (Eclair) and hosed my Home screen. Repeated reboots led to the activate prompt, which fails regardless of net connection status. Had to use B&N native access to Apps, and 'Home Switcher' to recover my Zeam homescreen. :|
Is this appropriate for the NC? Does it have a bunch of "phone" stuff that can't be hidden? I have dnlded it & will wait to see some examples of it's functionality.
Watching for all you creative people that are smarter than me to give it a review.

Mine keeps saying "device not supported" after I click to activate, and then it FCs... any ideas? Is there a step I'm missing, or something?
I uninstalled it for now...
(Autonootered 1.01)
Anyone have this working & have any comments? Need the installation steps, as they have been removed from the link. I know this is unreleased Beta, but I would like to try it. PM me the info, if it's not appropriate to continue posting in this thread.
Thanks,

I would really like to get this working as well. I got it installed, but it says "device not supported" If there is a way to get it working, I would be very appreciative of a little help.
Hm... thats actually pretty nice.
I went to Market & then App Brain & tried to dnld Stupid Zombies. Had to reboot it after it froze. Now when I try to launch spb, I get the activate screen, press yes & then get an activation screen that says, Activating SPB Mobil'e Shell..." with a cancel button. It will not proceed beyond this point. If I press Cancel, OH WAIT!! It finally went to the next screen then the normal "device not supported" screen. Took a looooong time, as compared to previous startups. It's back up now. I started to abandon this post, but will post it in case someone else has the same problem. Haven't customized it yet. Lots to learn. This app may be worth the asking price. We'll see.

"device not supported"
I get "device not supported" on my NC running phiremod nook V4.. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
Thanks!
I get the same "Device not Supported" message each time I register it. Then it just works. Don't know the implications, but it seems to be fully functional.
Cheers,
kev
P.S. Can't figure out how to rename panels or set SPB to switch to landscape. Anyone?
Trial period!
Hopefully this beta release has this turned off???
Quote from 3.5 user manual:
"Registration
You will be able to use SPB Mobile Shell until the end of the trial version period of 15 days. If you have not
registered SPB Mobile Shell within this timeframe, you will need to do so to continue using it.
To obtain the serial number you need to purchase a SPB Mobile Shell software license and you will receive your
serial number by e-mail."
My concern is that I will like this app. & will not be able to buy a copy that I can register on the NC.

I got the same error. If I wait about 1 minute (maybe less) and then dismiss the error, the SPB works.
While visually impressive in an "ooooooh! Shiny things!" sort of way, there's a few issues:
* The 3.5 beta that I was able to install is clearly designed for a smaller screen. The icons and the spacing on the spacious 7" NC screen is HUGE. I can't find a way to change the resolution to take better advantage of the large screen.
* The SPB launcher does not toggle between portrait and landscape. Bummer.
* The animations in the carousel mode don't really serve any purpose beyond being dancing bologna.
* While SPB touts a great deal of customizability, however that appears to just be at the surface level. I can't find a way to change fonts, tab labels, or set individual panel wallpapers.
I don't know that this will be quite worth $30.
Darn it. I get a "device not supported" error. How did anyone manage to make it work.??

All I needed to do was remove the Zeam launcher from being the default action of the "n" key. Reboot. After unlocking, the NC will prompt you for which launcher to use. Select the SPB. It will go thru the activation process. When you get the unsupported device message, just dismiss it.

Hi,
My first android device was a nook color and purchased on day one. This was the forum that got me all started to develop on the android platform. Since then I have worked on a location base app that make full use of Google map to find locations nearby. It has been fully tested with the Nook color using CynogenMod 7. It probably works with other flavors but I haven't test it yet. Please comment if it works/doesn't work in other Nook color Mods.
BTW it is FREE of course.
Here is the link to the app posting:

Thank you to all who have inspired me!

If you've posted it early last week, I would have tried it already. Now, I'm back.
Anyway, thanks for app, keep it going. I'll give it a try later.
Hi Votinh,
please do give it a try and any input you might have will be appreciated.
Thanks,
F8
I tried to use it over the thanks giving weekend driving between LA and San Diego. Saved some time to look for diapers in a nearby Target store
BTW though your description says "* Featuring "Peek ahead" at other destinations." I could not find it. I could pan the map, but did not see any stores beyond certain point. Is it limited by distance? Say
it would be nice if I can look ahead for destinations e.g. I'm in between San Diego and Carlsbad on I5 and I want to find stores in Carlsbad, well specifically Dunkin Donuts. Having directions to that place from my location would be nice too.
dumble_bee,
If you know where you are heading, you can pan the map to the location, touch the map and hold(2 seconds). It will center where you touched and will display what is near by based on the new location. You can also increase the viewing radius setting in preference to see further out, but you probably already know that.
Hope this helps.
F8
OK, I tried that, but then how do I go back? After a while it goes back to the old place. I have to then "touch and hold" again and again. Bit annoying.
This has potential, but why no support for landscape? I'd love to see that!

dumble bee,
When you pan the map or center on a different location, it will recenter after 60 seconds when you no longer interact with it. But if you like to go back to your former location, you can just Tap Tap(tap the screen two time quickly), it should put you back right away.
Hope this help,
F8
Thanks Mate! I understand. Just have to finger the thing from keep moving.
A food for thought, maybe something you can provide as a feature and name it after me
it'd be nice to remember my choices of press-&-hold, bring those up and let me select one, I usually move and look ahead at limited area's, mostly starbucks at a location that I'll be meeting my clients.
