VAlert v1.21 (PPC Application)

This small program allows customizing vibration incoming call alerts. Windows based phones vibrate either before the ring or constantly during the ring. Having a short ringtone can possibly solve this problem, but with long mp3 ringtone the phone will constantly vibrate during the ring.

This program will enable Windows Mobile phones to produce short vibrations when the phone rings. Vibration patterns can be easily changed by the user. Possibly to match vibration patterns to the ringtone, so the phone will vibrate in a rhythm.

Changes:

– Bug fixed

Microfi Nitrogen v0.2b (PPC Application)

Microfi Nitrogen is a native Windows Mobile application (unmanaged code) that allows you to play MP3 songs stored on your Pocket PC device.

It features a file browser, “Shuffle” and “Repeat” modes, a built-in sleep mode and a command to blank screen to prevent energy waste while playing music. Nitrogen uses the MAD decoder, which is opensource. As the official releases of MAD for Pocket PC seem to be discontinued, Nitrogen uses the libraries from an opensource player (GSPlayer).

Nitrogen was build due to the lack of finger-friendly players for Pocket PC (you have to use stylus even for simple tasks). It features large buttons and you can browse among your playlist by drawing circles on the screen (tapping in the appropriate space). In future releases the program will be expected to have an equalizer and skin support, but such things are still being tested to ensure stability and efficience.

TF3D StandBy v1.1a (PPC Application)

TF3D StandBy monitors powerstates like S2U2 does (thx A_C) and turns off or turns on TF3D which allows the device to go into standby.

It’s important to uninstall any previous versions, before installing the new one.

Changes:

– Timeouts are now configurable via register.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARETf3dStandby]
TF3DShutdownTimeout -> Time in MS before suspend, when we shutdown TF3D.
AutoSuspendTimeout -> Time in MS after shutting down TF3D and suspending the device. (This gives TF3D some time to shutdown)
ResumeTimeout -> Timeout in MS to wait before starting TF3D after wakeup.
