    RAMSES WIDGETS V2.3

    Hi,
    I've decided to include all my widgets in the same package for an easier way to install and support.

    WHAT'S NEW IN V2.3
    RamCnxManager

    • Bug fix for Bluetooth on specific devices

    RamProfile
    • Silent mode bug fix

    RamGPS
    • Shortcut added for compass
    • New transitory state
    • Bug fix for rounded coordinates
    • Bug fix for coordinates display

    WIDGETS INCLUDED
    RamAppointment : Appointments, tasks, birthdays and alarms reminder
    RamBattery : Battery status
    RamCommManager : Communication manager
    RamProfile : Sound and profile manager
    RamGPS : Coordinates, speed, altitude and heading information

    DEVICE VERSIONS
    All my widgets have been tested on WVGA device. It should not be a problem to use them on VGA devices. I've made a QVGA version but couldn't test it so try it and tell me if there is a problem.
    It maybe possible that RamGPS only works with pro versions of Home2. Let me know if it is the case.

    INSTALLATION
    If you have installed the previous versions of my widgets, remove them following the procedure described in the Uninstallation section.
    To install the widgets, unzip the zip file (depending on your device) from the following Download section in the PointUI Home2 directory. Then choose the Ramses section in the widgets list to add them on your home.

    WIDGETSCONTAINER
    If you don't have other custom widgets that have yet modified the PointSenseWidgetsContainer.cs file, you can copy the one from the Download section in your Home2/Common directory.
    If it's not the case, you should edit the Home2/Common/PointSenseWidgetsContainer.cs file and add the following lines :

    At the end of the using section, add :
    using PointSenseRamsesWidgets;

    At the end of the LoadWidgets() method, add :
    else if (widgetName == "ramses")
    {
    RamsesWidget widget;
    widget.homePath = homePath + "Widgets\\";
    widget.Attribute = widgetAttribute;
    AddControl(widget);
    }

    At the end of the AddWidget(String name, String fn, int x, int y) method, add :
    else if (widgetName == "ramses")
    {
    RamsesWidget widget;
    widget.homePath = homePath + "Widgets\\";
    widget.NewWidget(widgetAttribute, widgetID, Path.GetFilename(fn), px, py);
    widget.Attribute = widgetAttribute;
    AddControl(widget);
    }

    UNINSTALLATION
    To uninstall Ramses Widgets :

    • replace in Home2/Common the PointSenseWidgetsContainer.cs by the original one
      delete the PointSenseRamsesWidgets.cs in Home2/Common
    • delete the Ramses directory in Home2/PointSense/Widgets

    If you have installed the previous versions of my widgets, first uninstall them by doing :

    • replace in Home2/Common the PointSenseCalendarWidgets.cs by the original one
    • delete the PointSenseBatteryWidgets.cs in Home2/Common
    • delete the PointSenseStatusWidgets.cs in Home2/Common
    • delete the RamAppointment directory in Home2/PointSense/Widgets/Calendar
    • delete the Battery directory in Home2/PointSense/Widgets
    • delete the Status directory in Home2/PointSense/Widgets

    Sorry for all the inconvenience of this rough procedure.

    SCREENSHOTS
    Here is a screenshot of my widgets in my Home :

The values at the bottom are the total numbers for each items for the next days (the number you choose in the settings).

    Birthdays are calculated only once a day or when you change the settings for the number of days you want to display, to avoid long process when you have many contacts.

    In the settings you can choose the number of days to parse for appointments, tasks and birthdays : from 1 day to 4 weeks.
    You can choose the application for :

    • Alarms : Standard windows or G-Alarm

    There are shortcuts when you click on the widget :

    • on the calendar icon to open the chosen calendar in month view

    RamBattery is a widget to display the battery status.

    There are 3 different sizes for the battery icon : large, medium and small.

    There are 2 orientations : horizontal and vertical

    You can choose to display or not the value of the percentage of the battery.

    You can choose the place of the value relatively to the icon : up, down, left and right.

    All of these properties can be modified within the settings page of the widget.

    The icon represents the filling of the battery. When you are under 10%, the level is displayed in red as well as the value.

    When your device is charging, a charge icon is displayed on the battery icon.

    When you click on the icon, you go to the battery parameter page.

    RAM COMMMANAGER

    RamCommManager displays on one single widget if the phone, data connection, bluetooth and wifi are on or off.

    If Bluetooth is in discoverable mode, the Bluetooth B letter is displayed in green.

    If the phone is in flight mode, a special icon indicates it.

    In the settings you can choose to switch on and off the different communications by clicking on them or you can open the desired application like standard communication manager for example.
    Clicking on the Bluetooth icon will switch the state between Off, On and discoverable.

    RAM PROFILE

    RamProfile displays the sound volume of your device and the profile when associated with G-Profile.

    An icon at the top left of the widget indicates the sound mode : sound on, vibrate and sound off.

    At the bottom of the widget 2 levels indicate the sound volume of the ringer and of the speaker.

    RamProfile can be associated in the settings with G-Profile. Both versions work : V1.0 and V1.1. If V1.1 is detected, this version will be used.

    When associated with G-Profile, an icon at the top right of the widget indicates the active profile. The name of the profile is displayed under the icon.
    With V1.0, the icon is the one of the type of the profile. With V1.1 it's the icon of the profile.

    With V1.1 if the profile has been activated manually, the icon is displayed with a red frame around it, indicating that the profile won't change until you manually ask for it.

    If you change the sound volume and that it becomes different than the normal volume of the profile, the icon is displayed with an orange frame around it.

    If you click on the G-Profile icon, it opens the G-Profile QuickSwitch application.

    In the settings you can choose to use or not G-Profile.
    You can also choose how the widget will respond when clicking on it (except on the G-Profile icon).
    You can choose an application to be opened or choose to switch between different sound profiles : Sound on / Vibrate or Sound on / Vibrate / Mute.

    RAM GPS

    RamGPS displays coordinates, heading, altitude and speed from your GPS device.
    Status of the widget is displayed with a led : green when on (gps is activated), orange when started (waiting for gps results) and red when off. RamGPS is turned off each time the widget is deactivated to avoid battery drain. To turn the widget on, just click on it, another click turns it off.

    Heading is displayed in degrees and with letters indicating the main direction : N for north, E for east, etc...

    In the settings you can choose different units :
    Speed : kilometers per hour, miles per hour, knots.
    Altitude : meters or feet.
    Coordinates : in degrees, degrees / minutes or degrees / minutes / seconds.

    You can also choose the refresh rate. It means the frequency used to display information. You can choose from 1 second to 1 minute.

    It is also possible to add a shortcut on compass rectangle so you can choose to launch your device compass software if you have one.

    @Uhlik
    The names of the profiles are the one you enter when you create your profiles. So French in my case but they will be in your own language.

    Hi ramses great job again. Here is a screenshot on my Omnia i900. The only thing with the CommManager is it would be nice if it was a bit bigger, so that the buttons can be pressed easier. I tried the vga files but they were too big. Is it also possible to make the bluetooth discoverable?

    Hello Ramses! For some reason I can choose from Your widget menu, but the widgets will not start, when clicking on them (the Icons do not appear on the screen). I did everything from clean fresh install of pointui, then I copied point sense over it, and after that I copied Your files over the home directory. Do You have any idea why it does not work?

    Posted 3 months ago #
  14. Even if with my HD2, i fully enjoy HTC Sense, i can congrat you for this ;)
    I don't think i'll come back on PointUI, HD2 is so fluid that I am not wanting to try anything else for the moment ^^

    @usbprog & eaglegreek
    I will share my icons, I have no problem with that. Just give me some time !

    @Uhlik
    You can leave your previous widgets. Just make sure to add them from the Ramses group.

    @colincoxau
    Here is a new version 2.1 with Bluetooth discoverable.

    @phatox
    The structure in the zip files were not good. Maybe it's ok with version 2.1

    @Zepiii
    Thanks for the comments. You're a lucky guy with the new HD2, enjoy it !

    Unfortunatly it is still not working...I used to have ram appointment installed and it worked fine, but upon trying to install battery or any other of Your widgets it would not work. I have made a clean install and I can see the "Ramses widget menu" and the icons to select, but when tabbing them nothing happens. To sad, Your widgets are great! Any idea/solution?

    @ramses31,

    Same case here. I made a clean install. I can select the option, I can see the widgets, but when I tap on "select", nothing happens.

    My device : HTC Gene (QVGA), Latest Pointui and Pointsense installed.

    Yes, you probably have a problem with your PointSenseWidgetsContainer.cs file. Can you check if you have references to the Ramses Widgets in it ? If it's not the case, download the one provided in the download section (or update it as it is described). And of course, don't forget to restart your pointui.

    So I thought: Stupid is as stupid does, because I actually did not use your widgetcontainer file...I happily integrated it, but now pointsense freezes upon startup...
    My device: IpaQ 914 with QVGA.

    To clarify this matter: I tried usual install of pointui and poinSense QVGA, but it got a mixture of pointui and pointsense with Applets not vanishing and widgets not loading. then I again tried Zepii modified PointSense, which worked fine...only problem remains that it runs stable with old (Zepii) widgetcontainer, but freezes on bootscreen with Yours, Ramses.

    @phatox
    Can you try clearing your widgets.xml files in AppletRibbon/PointSenseScreen* ?
    Edit these files and just leave in them <items></items> so that you don't have any widgets. Restart home, then try adding them from the add menu.
    Can you send me the PointSenseWidgetsContainer.cs from Zepii's mod ?

    ramses31, i tried your pswc container, and my pointsense has crashed on startup too, the same thing like phatox's problem.

    Member

    So, can you do the second part of my first post : Leave the PointSenseWidgetsContainer.cs file from Zepii's mod and edit it with the following :

    At the end of the using section, add :

    using PointSenseRamsesWidgets;

    At the end of the LoadWidgets() method, add :

    else if (widgetName == "ramses")
    {
    RamsesWidget widget;
    widget.homePath = homePath + "Widgets\\";
    widget.Attribute = widgetAttribute;
    AddControl(widget);
    }

    At the end of the AddWidget(String name, String fn, int x, int y) method, add :

    else if (widgetName == "ramses")
    {
    RamsesWidget widget;
    widget.homePath = homePath + "Widgets\\";
    widget.NewWidget(widgetAttribute, widgetID, Path.GetFilename(fn), px, py);
    widget.Attribute = widgetAttribute;
    AddControl(widget);
    }

    @ramses31,

    I am no good at coding, so I am not quite able to insert the above code in the right place. If I sent you the Pointsensewidgetcontainer.cs file, could you edit it and send it back to me?

    thanks.
