Guest jasperkins Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) NOTE: YOU NEED TO BE USING THE ORANGE DLL FOR THIS CODE TO WORK!!! Update: 8/23. My past life as an Assembly programmer has me tweaking code to much. As such I have GREATLY tweaked the Orange XML Homescreen related code where it now runs even faster. I even changed the code to use the Launcher of Facade instead of MRU. And the last Plugin for Scheduler / Weather loads quicker too. I just wanted to let everyone know that this is possible. The user Loopback had mentioned it, I had just not played with it. However after experimenting with it, I realized that traditional phones are only 240 across. The Moto Q is a Landscape phone- so it is 320 across. So do the math...320-240=80 This leaves a width space of 80, to do with whatever you want. So why not post the Time to that location :-) Code: <!-- ROW 1: Time & Iconbar --> Here is the XML and Background. I called it Q-Orange-Clean. This is NOT BETA. I have scrubbed it and the code is very CLEAN and FAST. It only uses 3 Orange Plugin Calls.

You lucky landscape lot you :D You know how it is.....see something that needs to be fixed, dive into it, get burned out, go on to something else. I think I have learned as much as I can with the XML / Homescreen and Orange Plugin code. I now need to write my own homescreen designer code, and retire (hahahahha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jasperkins Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) lmao! A short yet full (to say the least) homescreen career Yep. I dont think I should quit my day job just yet :-) Hey- here is another version too. I was asked to include BlueTooth, next to Profile. Here is the code change then for Row5. BlueTooth disappears when not enabled. However it is not selectable. There is a problem with the Orange hard code, were only Profile ot BT will only show on the screen at 1 time- if both selectable. Jasper Here is another Quick Revise. I removed BT, as I just dont use it. I addedd back the Facade Tabs, and Profile Silent (its not selecatable). In addition I made the icons large for my small eyes :-) Also I dropped MMS- as I dont use it often enough. The IconBar will tell me if I ever have a MMS pic mail. Download to Q-Orange-Clean-Large....Q_Orange_Clean_Large.zip OK- another version......

Guest onlydarksets Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Great job! I've been using this technique for my own homescreen, but I've run into a couple of problems I was hoping you could help me out with. First, is that I can't get multiple plugins to display in a column that is contained within an Orange plugin row. For example, I want to have Facade on one side, then list the Date, Carrier, Missed Calls/Messages, and Network on the right. Is this possible? Second, is that I can't get the Facade plugin to show up on the right and be navigable. This is a lesser concern, but something I would like to figure out. Here is what I have so far: <plugin width="320" handlekeys="CHILD" clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}"> <shortcut width="240"> <!-- FACADE VIEW: shows the info for each tab --> <plugin clsid="{C49CEC80-D445-407C-AA72-C263EDBBAC96}" name="FacadeView" height="140" /> </shortcut> <shortcut width="80"> <!-- NETWORK --> <plugin clsid="{2F930BF0-6FE9-4a53-9E17-88E9247BAB48}" name="smscount" height="60"> <background> <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/> </background> <label y="0" fgcolor="#000000"> <text>Email: (<unreadEmail/>)</text> </label> <label y="20" fgcolor="#000000"> <text>Vmail: (<unreadVMail/>)</text> </label> <label y="40" fgcolor="#000000"> <text>SMS: (<unreadSMS/>)</text> </label> </plugin> </shortcut> I'd like to add to the shortcut section containing the NETWORK comment the plugins for the carrier, date, and network. Any thoughts? I attached a screenshot below. Thanks! Edited September 5, 2006 by onlydarksets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tin-Man Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hi Jas. I can't seem to find the download link to your "clean home screen" with bluetooth next to profile that is shown in post #7. Am I missing it or is it called something else? Thanks again for your hard work and for posting these for those of us who are not as dedicated as you! Tin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the late response - I missed your post. You need the Orange plugin. Search this site, and qusers.com and you should find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paike Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) In fact, normal Q screen can do this. I used a Chinese Plug-in, let the carrier go to Iconbar. Becasuse 240 is too short , I can't make the Time like your's. Edited November 3, 2006 by paike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest w411y Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have been hunting this so called orange plugin high and low... where can we find it? Comes with Orange (A Network here in the UK that provide phones) branded phones. It is only available if you have an Orange phone. Other than that getting your hands on it is illegal so you wont find it/get it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GVelvet Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 This is great jasperkins! Is there a way to do the same on other pages besides your homepage. (i.e. - all the backpages and programs). Xbar puts the time in on the iconbar for the backpages, but it is hard to read and as it displays the time on 2 rows. Thanks.
