Guest ultimasnake Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Smart browser is going to be an alternative to the PIE, it still runs with a PIE controll but the gui is totaly diffrent. You can browse in FULLSCREEN and by pressing of Softkey 1 (note this has changed in the new version) you will display the toolbar. Things i plan to do: *Cleaner, this function will assist pie in making the page better viewable on the phone. *Favorites, these will just be the same ones as you see in pie *predictive addresses, No need to type an adres over and over again this will feature a predefined (editable) list that (in example) will let you visit http://www.google.com by only typing google. *Search toolbar, fast searching with a easy toolbar (this will support more then just google, but also altavista etc :D) *Gprs counter *Download manager (be able to download zip files again) *Speed up loading time (this is hard since the speed tweaking is changed everytime i mess with the gui :S) *And more (suggestions are always welcome) [ Fixed and added in V 0.1 !!!BETA!!!] *Added History (previous/next page). *Toolbar navigation bug *Tooltip not hidding when page was loaded BUT toolbar was shown. *Fixed bug in scrolling titlebar *Added 2 options (javascript and fit to page options) *Several button/gui bugs :P *Quick address bug fixed, though you can't edit it from the program yet you can open up fastaddress.ini and then add some to it from there *Changed exe name to smart browser.exe THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE SHORTCUTS PEOPLE :D *LOADS AND LOADS MORE [ Known bugs in V 0.1 !!!BETA!!!] *When you press backspace while on a textbox you will be brought back to the homescreen *Fit to screen might not always work *just adding a address seems to crash the browser (not when typing a full or a predifined address) *dunno more YET [ Fixed and added in V 0.040 Alpha ] *The program can now run without installing the CAB file *Toolbar is now a bit smaller (might change again later) *Instead of Softkey 2 you now have to press Softkey 1 (i am trying to make a new function for softkey 2 :lol:) *Error with Quick address so it's disabled for now (is this a bug or a fix then :D).. *Scrolling Page title, the problem of not beeing able to see the title of a page is over :D. the text scrolls in the titlebar now. *Fixed the not showing up problem (for good now (i hope)) *Nice splash screen showing you it's loading not juts blanking out :( *A better looking intro page. (I think that is about as much as i can think of at this moment). [ Known bugs in V 0.040 Alpha ] *Minimize caused some problems so i disabled it for a moment (I think the button will be gone next version since we have the home button :D) *I think that the font-size in the address bar is just a BIT to low.. (please let me know what you think about this). *The address bar still doesn't show the correct url after browsing through a site. [ Fixed and added in V 0.026 Alpha ] *Not showing up on run (i guess) *Navigation fix. *Quit bug fixed. [ Known bugs in V 0.026 Alpha ] *Program does not show up in task managers *Program does not re-apear when minimize button is pressed or home button is pressed.(sometimes does work in the last case) *When clicking an Url on a webpage the address bar doesn't show the correct url. [ Fixed in V 0.024 Alpha ] *Several gui "eye" problems :lol:. *Fixed the unable to view (any) page problem. *Fixed address bar -> minimize button bug. [ Fixed in V 0.022 Alpha ] *Correct Cab file for openNETCF framework extension :lol:. *Added hide and Exit buttons. [ Known bugs in V 0.022 Alpha ] *When you get at the last character the minimize button is higlighted and the addressbar looses focus (will fix in next version). I have loads more but none reported yet! To install *Unzip the files to your phone on a remote location... THAT's ALL!!! What i really want to know is : *What do you think of it up to now. *What would you like to see in it. *What could be done better. enjoy!screenshot.jpgsmart browser.zipsmart browser FULL.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markgamber Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 The cab fails to install after which the executable doesn't run, this on a a Mitac 8390. I'm thinking maybe the "X86" in the cab filename says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prouti Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 same thing on french orange SPV E200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ultimasnake Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 hmmm ought.. i still try to figure out how this works..the ought thing is that when i run it on a clean phone from the sdk it install's that cab on my dutch e200.... so the cab fails, are your phones software unlocked?

Guest James Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 running the CAB returns the following:- OpenNETCF.SDF.SMP.X86.CAB failed to install on your device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ultimasnake Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 odd i got that too once (when running it from the sdk).. then i just tried again and it worked.... but the ought thing is that i can't find a thing about how to publish my app that use openNETCF components :| I am going to update the files in a moment though. i found a minor bug and also added a hide and a quit button (rather nice to have don't you think :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ultimasnake Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Well here you go a new tested version, I hard reset my phone. then installed the new cab file (which is the one working on the phone). Then put the file in a random location. and it worked perfectly !!!! enjoy! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest layet Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Unfortunately does not work on my E200. I installed on phone (not on sd card), followed carefully instructions, launched explorer 1.exe, and nothing happened... Any idea ? Thanks.

Guest ultimasnake Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 and the instalation of the cab went correctly? because i have an E200 too, and i hard-reset my phone..installed the cab and then just placed the exe in the start menu.. and it worked (then i moved it to the program files/explorer 1 folder and it worked too) you did download the latest version right? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest muzzio_giovanni Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 ok i install all files but these are the problem : 1) the .exe file same times go and other no 2) the visualization of the page isn't in "full screen" i mean : i go to www.mrflanger.it and the page is much big of the screen,in new pie there is a function for leyout in which i can visulize the page in one colum and i think that this is a very good think sorry for my bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ultimasnake Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 1) the .exe file same times go and other no  sorry what do you mean by that? :P 2) the visualization of the page isn't in "full screen" i mean : i go to www.mrflanger.it and the page is much big of the screen,in new pie there is a function for leyout in which i can visulize the page in one colum and i think that this is a very good think What i mean with full screen browsing (and what fullscreen means mainly) is that there is no topbar... but the "resizing" is just a setting which i turned off i guess, at the moment i have problems with my GPRS connection so i can't test it on my phone. Later on i will create a special function which is going to resize a site even better then Pie does (with more diffrences). but i will test it once i get my gprs up again :S but it does work right?

Guest markgamber Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 The cab installs but the executable hangs on startup. Nothing ever actually displays but I can't delete the image, so it's in memory but it's not moving. I don't have the time to do a hard reset, nor do I really feel like trashing the phone, so maybe next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ultimasnake Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 so the cab installed correctly.. i am sure you don't need to hard reset your phone anyway.. layet might have done it and it fixed it for him, i just hardreseted my phone to test if I can run it on a "not yet for development used" phone since as soon as i run it in debug mode it will install all the needed items :P........ So do you see the loading icon? and after that there is nothing.... if you click the exe file again does it show up then? Maybe it just hides itself or something... maybe if you use the exe again it will popup the already loaded browser :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drblow Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I got the app to work on e200! At start up it seemed not to have opened, but when i clicked back, the app opened up. Looks quite nice, but it was very slow compared to PIE. A very good start tho fella! Keep up the good work, it would be great to have an alternative to IE. Cheers! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ultimasnake Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 thanks.... about the speed.. i hoped it would be the same since it uses (if my sources are correct) the Pie html viewer (not 100% sure though).. but at the moment i have problems with my GPRS (orange nl) and can't seem to open any page (not even in Pie)... the next version will surely show itself on the first run :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markgamber Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I started it with the phone explorer after which the "wait" icon spins for a while and the explorer closes, leaving the start menu with the wait icon spinning a little longer. Then the icon goes away leaving just the start menu displayed and attempting to start the app again does nothing, no wait icon or anything. Attempting to delete the app, however, fails so some part of it is in memory but it's not listed by xbar or the Mitac task manager so it's not actually displaying anything.

Guest ultimasnake Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 i don't have a clue YET why it doesnt show in a taskmanager.. it's kinda ought ey.. well a new version will be launched after dinner :D (hopefully that will be done sooooon, Parents you got to love them :lol:)..... i am currently working on turning image downloading on and off :P.... but the new version will have the not showing up bug fixed :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest markgamber Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I'm afraid not although I do get an exception error now. "Error explorer 1.exe MissingMethodException frmmain::Main+0x0" After this I can delete the executable so it's not getting hung in memory anymore.

Guest ultimasnake Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 so you just replaced the exe right? since there is no need to reinstall the cab :S... What phone did you say you have? and it worked before.. very odd...... :S well it's 7:26 am at the moment of typing.. and i will be home around 1 pm... I will fix some bugs that i found out (like the not showing up again bug) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
