Here is a more convenient way to search XDA Developers using google for IE7 users - About xda-developers.com
Hey, if you are like me and are so lazy that you can't stand to do an absolute minimum amount of work, and you use Internet Explorer 7, than this tip is for you!!!!
You can add google search xda developers to your inline search box at the top right of your IE7 window. It only takes a few steps to add this, and you can have it in your IE7 search box for convenient google searching of xda developers any time you want.
or if you prefer the old way, the instructions are still located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304582
Follow these steps (they look like a lot, but they are simple):
1. Go to the regular google / XDA developers search url
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
2. Type the word TEST (all caps) into any one of the search boxes ( with all of the words, with the exact phrase, with at least one of the words) that google offers you (depending on how you most like to search xda developers) (if you type TEST into the "with all the words" field, that is the default google search method)
3. press "google search"
4. Copy the url of the current page you are on
5. click the little pull down arrow next to the picture of the magnifying glass in you IE7 search box
6. on the pull down menu click "find more providers"
7. on the page that comes up, there is a yellow box on the right side of the page that says "create your own" paste the url that you had previously copied into the first text field in the yellow box
8. In the second text field in the yellow box type the name that you want your new search shortcut to be called (I just called mine XDA DEV)
9. click "install" in the yellow box
10. A dialogue will come up with the final options (you can click cancel to quit at this point) you can click add provider to add it as one of your search shortcuts, or check the "make this my default search povider" box to make it the one that is automatically seen in that search box when you start IE7.
11. Success!!! if you didn't already add it as your default search provider, then you can pull down the box with the little arrow next to the magnifying glass and select it whenever you want to search xda developers quickly and conveniently through google.
12. to also add google search the XDA wiki, repeat these same steps, except with this as the url for step 1:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q= +site:http://wiki.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
13. You could also use these steps to google search any website, or even use the website's own search engine too
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same can be done for firefox 2 and I'm using it myself.
There is a standard keyword on google to search a specific site, so in this case, go to google, type your search, and then site:forum.xda-developers.com
eg On google, to search for vijay555 within the forum, type
Code:
vijay555 site:forum.xda-developers.com
Mike: I didn't notice any large, detrimental features in IE7. Firefox is still probably the way to go, but I tend to drift between the two depending on how much WMV porn I'm watching.
Actually, I use my own browser, VJMultiBrowser, which IMHO is nicer then both, but that's another story.

Google gives no results when searching for VJMultiBrowser?
mestrini: VJMultibrowser has never been released, to anyone except BuzzLightyear. It's very very much built around how I work, but it's been my main browser for a few years (ie since I wrote it), although obviously it's in continuous development.
That is in fact a problem, I've squeezed so many things in there, I forget what it can do. I just remembered that it has a flick gesture for flicking to the next page in a set of documents, eg, flick mouse left/right to go from
http;//forum.xda-developers.com/p=1436702
to
http;//forum.xda-developers.com/p=1436703
etc
Anyway, yeah, it's never been released, hence no information on it, but I recently made up a bit of an overview/description of it for the recent LifeHacker.com non-Firefox browser wars. However, I think I went slightly outside the limitations of the competition (they wanted a max image size of 1280*1024). There was too much to fit in, so I think I got disqualified. However, if you wanna have a look, check out the image below.
I suggest that you first put your browser in fullscreen mode (press F11), and then scroll right to the bottom first, to see how I use it in a 1x3 (ie 4 browser panes) setup normally. Then scroll back up the graphic to see some of the main features (but not all!).

VJMultibrowser - Features Part 1
PS: Some of the features, as described to LifeHacker.com
VJMultiBrowser is a browser “shell” I started working on some time back. Necessity was the mother of its invention – I worked in an office that had banned use of Internet Explorer. As such, I started discreetly using a custom version of Internet Explorer in Kiosk Mode to have a very low profile browser – no chrome at all, and no easy way to navigate.
I then started working on the MiniBrowser, a single browser with minimal chrome, ie very low profile interface, designed to use 99.5% of the available screen space for the browser, using only a tiny area for the necessary interface (Back, Forward, Home, Refresh, Save etc).
I quickly realized that for most efficient use while browsing, I would typically need at least 4 windows to be open simultaneously. This gave birth to VJMultiBrowser. The browser starts off as a single browser window with low profile interface. However, as required, up to three sibling browsers can be spawned to join the parent. Each browser is color coded in the top right so as not to lose track of them.
Each browser can be used to drag and drop using the MiniIcons in the top right near the navigation bar. Thus one can stay within the same browser window but drag off interesting links to its three brethren easily. The target browser will show a fluorescent green highlight to show it’s the required drop target, and if it’s currently obscured, it will jump up to the top to show which browser you are dropping into.
The home icon can also be used as a drag icon (to drag the current URL) and also as a drop target (eg highlight a URL in Word and drop it onto the home icon and it will navigate there).
The address bar and page title can be resized or completely hidden if not required. The home icon can optionally display the URL and Title as a Balloon, so no interface is required unless needed.
The address bar is a full command line – apps can be run, calculations performed, or jump to various shortcuts and favorites. Favorites and URLs will be autocompleted.
The concept is that I can use 4 browsers as a super-tabbed browser: 4 mini tabs accessible from each browser, and each browser can be hidden or viewed by clicking on its associated miniicon. Each browser can be maximized, closed, toggled in height, shrunk to an icon (MicroIcon mode) for non-obtrusive browsing. Each browser can be freely resized, or optionally docked together (like Winamp) and joint resized in proportion. Browsers can be resized using the numeric keypad for presets, or the cursor keys for pixel perfect resizing.
Layouts and current browsing sessions can be saved and reloaded by double clicking an icon or drag dropping a session onto the navigation bar. A single click can also resize the 4 browsers to quarter full screen (ie each browser takes a quarter of the screen), quarter non-full screen (same, but not the whole screen is used), explorer layout (1 large browser, 3 vertically adjacent mini browsers) etc.
Although typically 4 browsers are sufficient, for occasional usage you can “clone” either a fully featured MutliBrowser, or its little brother, the MiniBrowser. MiniBrowsers have full functionality, but have an even lower profile chrome/interface, ie just a context sensitive back and forward button, a home icon for drag drop saving etc, and a mini address bar. MiniBrowser are designed for temporary usage, and specialized usage, eg popping up Alexa information, a list of links on the page etc. Lists of links etc can be live filtered by typing the required path into the Mini Browser address bar.
A non complete list of features (as it’s in continuous development, and also, I forget all the little things built into it!):
* Built in command line from address bar - do calculations, run applications, aliases, live search and highlight, path navigation (with one button navigation up and down the website/directory path).
* File explorer – will navigate through local system to replace the Windows Explorer with a 4 pane multi-explorer.
* Use of customisable command aliases in address bar eg:
g] LifeHacker = google lifehacker
m] Bourne = find times for films containing Bourne
i] Bourne = imdb query Bourne
TRF to translate to French, TRG to translate to German etc.
* Aliases for most popular search engines, eBay, Movies.com, Wikipedia, IMDB etc. All aliases are user configurable
* Some Greasemonkey and embedded Javascript support, and customisable advanced bookmarklet support (can inject javascript and CSS sheets directly into the page. Optionally disable scripts, CSS and frames).
* CSS remover and rewriter.
* Built in WYSIWYG HTML editor.
* Live search type-ahead Google searches with one click access to searches and "I'm feeling lucky" targets (eg, start typing LifeHa, and press Ctrl + 1 to execute a Google search on the most popular hit for that search. Press Ctrl + Alt + 1 to go directly to LifeHacker.com).
* Live highlighting, eg start typing in Life and all references to Life will be highlighted, and a popup showing the hit count will appear. Quickly navigate forward and back through hits using F11 and F12.
* Live zoom in and out, and rotation (clockwise and anticlockwise). Can be used on websites and while image viewing – particularly useful when used in Explorer replacement mode, to browse through a folder full of images.
* Optional alpha transparency for the browser.
* Optional ghost mode for true transparent browsing – makes a selected colour on the webpage transparent, to allow viewing through webpage onto desktop etc. This is useful for example docking a display of live stock prices on the desktop, but not obscuring screen in any way.
* Gesture recognition for most important browsing functions.
Eg mouse drag left/right to go forward back, mouse drag up/down to navigate up and down directory path, button + drag to get special context menu for shortcuts, favorites etc. Browse with mouse only, no forward and back clicks required.
* Can host both the Internet Explorer and Mozilla browser for the best of both browser engines.
* Ad blocker, using customisable list of blockable urls.
* Anti-phising filter.
* Anti-spoofing filter and blocker (will catch rule defined exploits and warn before displaying the page, or optionally present a text only view of the page to disarm the spoof).
* Popup blocker, with optional override (either force popup into parent browser, or into a mini-browser so as not to obscure main session).
* Popup history to show URLs of overridden popups.
* Session based Browsing History (optionally saveable, by default erased on close). Color coded history shows what webpages were viewed by which Multibrowser.
* Form Filler – single click form filler to fill forms with generic, predefined form data eg Name, Address, Telephone) or fill in a form, save that data, and re-use pre-saved data to fill in that form on request.
* Save multi-browser layouts as shortcuts to reload and resume pre-defined browsing sessions with one click (eg have a folder on your desktop containing special layouts for News, RSS, Local Drives, YouTube).
* Image extractor (will present a list of all images on the page).
* Link extractor (will present a list of all links on the page).
* Site summarizer (will present a list of all links on the page with associated neighboring text, to quickly summarize the contents of a long page of links).
* Shortcut/Alias access to Alexa data and WhoIs data (presented in a mini-browser to not obscure main browsing session).
* ThumbNailer (will inject thumbails into links on the current page to see what the destination looks like).
* Built in RSS news reader.
* Optional Magnetized windows (like Winamp) to allow window docking and for the docked windows to be dragged as a group).
* Built in scratchpad/notepad with drag and drop save.
* Built in HTML to Text and HTML to PDF conversion. Merely drag the Home icon onto Notepad, Word etc and it will be automatically converted. Optionally right drag the home icon to save the URL only as text.
* Built in Speech engine to speak page or selected text.
* Zapper – remove any annoying page element (eg flashing adverts) by moving mouse over the element and pressing ctrl + z.
* Cropper – select required selection on the page and choose menu option to crop the entire page just to the selection: useful when printing only selected parts of a complex web page.
* Built in Favorites searching with wildcard searching and session saving.
* Gesture-based Favorites popup – Favorites presented as a popup menu by merely flicking the mouse.

VJMutlibrowser - Features Part 2
Some more of the features (messages have a limit of 10,000 characters. Who knew!?)
* Drag and drop search for Dictionary references, Google and Wikipedia (merely drop a selected word or phrase onto the navigation menu and a popup for each of these searches will appear). No keyboard required.
* Any corner dragging – resize the Browser from any corner using tiny drag handles in each corner. Alternatively use the efficient Multibrowser Gripper in the top right to drag and position the window, (left click and hold), resize the window (right click and hold), maximize (double click), minimize, toggle size etc.
* Desktop docking - immediately dock to any corner or edge. Use cursor keys for pixel perfect placement.
* Resizable Breadcrumb bar to allow single click navigation through local and web paths (eg, http://www.google.com/images/deviants, clicking on ‘images’ will immediately navigate to that URL. Also for local file browsing, eg in a path C:\Documents and Settings\MP014292\Desktop, clicking ‘C:\’ will browse to C:\.
* Status bar – hidden by default, can be displayed, resized. Carries an item history to see browser ‘status text’ all previous items. Will automatically extract embedded items like YouTube movies, flash games etc so they can be saved locally with one click.
* Optional keyboard only link navigation – jump to selected links, eg alt + 6 to jump to the 6th link on the page.
* Unlimited MultiBrowser and MiniBrowser clones – if more then 4 browers are required, more fully function browser windows can be spawned at the click of a button. MiniBrowsers (limited functionality browsers for displaying popups etc) can be similarly spawned.
* Custom error screen – if page cannot be found, a Google search will immediately be initiated, with links to Google Cache, Internet Archives, different domain suffixes (eg, Vijay555.com, .org, .co.uk etc)
* Single click appending of www. .com, www. .net, www. .co.uk, www. .org etc.
* Lots of other stuff I forget.
* 238k, installed. No spyware.

Note that the screenshot doesn't show all features. But hopefully gives some idea of how it works. All browser panes are freely resizeable etc though, so you can have any layout you want.

Using tabs
Hello, I would use tabs in my application as we can see in the "settings" of Pocket PC 2002 (there is three labels in this window). For the moment, I can only include tabs in a dialog box but I would like these tabs to fill the window (like in the "settings" folder), and I can't. Precision : these tabs should be in the main view... Some tips, help or sample code? Gizmo
I think the stuff you are looking for are property sheets. A nice sample can be found @ msdn: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...lcc/platform/commctls/propsheet/propsheet.asp The only problem I have is that I can't seem use it for a today.dll. It only shows the first dialog template and doesn't draw the second... (though it enters the INITDIALOG event). So if anyone has any idea's... -Jrom
How to reorganize the home screen on the Dash
OK, I have been with a blackberry now for 2 years and my WM skills are very rusty. I have a TMO Dash running the latest HTC ROM posted here. I remember on a pocket pc you could reorganize, add/delete things on the home screen. How do you do this on the Dash? My homescreen displays the following in order: Blackberry: Connected Owner: Tedy Get More... 10:20PM WiFi: Off 1/28/2008 Profile: Normal Text Messages (1); Email: (0); MMS: (0) Enter a Password No Upcoming Appointments "a bunch of one-click icons" How do you rearrange these items, e.g. I don't want to display owner info, or I want to move Blackberry:Connected to the bottom. How do you do this? TIA.
It depends on how much pc and scripting knowledge/background you have. If you're proficient, you can copy over the *.xml file found in \Application Data\Home. Open it up on your pc with an xml editor app or directly in notepad, and at that point re-script it to show the plugins and other information in the order and arrangement you prefer. You're second option is to install some ready-made homescreens which take the onus of choosing what to display on your homescreen and how to arrange it. (If you search this forum for "home screen" or "themes" you'll get the necessary resources)
Suggest a google search for "Q home screens" minus the quotes. Then drag and drop the xml and images to "application data\home" on the excalibur
that or goto http://www.madbeetle.com, where they have a freeware homescreen builder, no XML nowledge required!
[APP] Shopping Cart v 5.3 available now!
** version 5.3 available now! ** Information: You no longer need to uninstall previous version(s) before installing the latest version! If you have AppToDate you can use that to update the application to the latest version! This requires .NET compact flash 3.5! This supports Windows Mobile 6, 6.1 and 6.5. Supported resolutions are 240x320, 320x320, 240x400, 480x640 and 480x800 in both portrait and landscape modes. Downloads are in post 2 or you can use AppToDate to update it. If you create your own language files please upload them to this thread so I can include them with the application! Upcoming: Add language support for configuration utility and save/open/browse dialogs. Currently only the main application supports alternate languages. Possibly adding price information option per item (this would toggle-able by a setting). Possibly adding finger gesture recognition for different things. Possibly adding SMS support. Possibly adding Today plugin. Possibly add D-pad support. Version 5.3: New features: Shopping Cart Companion - You can use this tiny application to easily create and manage lists (both standard and master lists) from your PC and transfer them directly to your device. Fixes: Optimized code greatly for larger lists. Opening a large list, e.g. 40 items per tab over 3 tabs opens in 5 seconds instead of 30. This has a huge impact on older / slower devices. Version 5.2: New features: Shopping lists now have the typical elastic rebound effect when a list is scrolled beyond the beginning or end of a list. Fixes: The position of a shopping list no longer automatically scrolls to the top of the list if you click an entry that is below the "first page" of the list. Version 5.1: New features: Save As menu option for new lists. New setting to save a new list automatically. New option under Settings/General/SIP. Show automatically when entering: Enabled, Enabled in Portrait Only, Disabled. Fixes: Exporting all marked items of a master list to a regular list doesn't work when using "mark all items". Exiting from the master list without saving or anything says that the user tried to save the masterlist as a regular list. Various errors with save dialogs not appearing and files not being saved. Version 5.0: NOTE: You will have to uninstall the previous version because of the name change! Otherwise you will have both applications installed! New features: Landscape for all supported resolutions. This is currently only within the main application screen, not the settings screen, save/open screens, etc. New initial GUI upon start of application (enabled or disabled by a setting)- a "home" screen with more intuitive quick-launch buttons to access application features. New option on long-press-hold over an item - copy item text to input field. Language files included have been updated with the new entry above and need to be translated. When you do, please upload them to this thread. A new setting to prompt a user to overwrite an existing saved cart rather than just doing it. Application will be renamed to "Digicast Solutions' Shopping Cart" from "cRaCKwHoRe's Shopping Cart" Fixes: Intermittent application errors / crashes when deleting / duplicating items / opening and closing SIP. Application not remembering last opened list. Saving a list sometimes doesn't actually save it. This is fixed. I am trying to prevent where a list of items scrolls back to the top if you are scrolled down and click an item. Version 4.2: Fixes: Scrolling issue resolved. Inability to add new categories/tabs resolved. Resampled and resized images thanks to aiiro. Version 4.1: Fixes: Opening a saved master list would cause an error. This has been fixed. Installing the latest version of Shopping Cart will no longer overwrite your customized application settings with the default ones. They are now saved between versions. Adjusted size of item container on different resolutions so that all items can be seen completely when you have a larger list. Other: Still trying to duplicate the "scrolling" issue affecting some users so that I can fix it... Version 4.0: New features: Duplicate item (context item) Rename item (context item) Move item up/down (context item) Check / uncheck item (context item) Rename tab (context item) Rename tab (menu item) Add tab (menu item) Delete all items (menu item) Sort list (menu items) Addition of master list functionality Addition of Help screen Addition of AppToDate support Changed application installation location and registry location to "Shopping Cart" instead of "Shopping Cart v x.x" for compatibility with Sashimi and AppToDate New setting for prompting user to clear cart New setting to disable single-clicking an item to check/uncheck it. Disabling it requires a tap+hold and select from a context menu to check/uncheck an item. Fixes: Application now shifts/resizes when SIP is displayed so you can see everything (may add a setting for this, what do you guys think?) Lots of new language items so language files will have to be edited Tweaked some code and fixed a few memory leaks to make application faster overall Saved lists are now automatically saved as Unicode files to preserve special characters. Version 3.1: New features: Multiple resolution support - now currently 480x800, 480x640, 320x320, 240x400, 240x320. I only have a 480x800 device but on my emulators everything looks fine on the other resolutions. Let me know what you find! Included updated/new language files posted to thread into cab file. Fixes: Saved cart being opened in reverse. Version 3.0: New features: Multiple resolution support - currently 480x800, 320x320, 240x320. More coming... Functionality to remove an entry altogether. Tabbed cart lists to separate shopping carts for different stores. Custom/enhanced save/open/browse dialogs. Default Windows Mobile ones are awful. Context menus. New configuration utility to change application settings, rather than modifying the registry. Numerous new user-configurable settings and options via configuration utility. Saving a list now retains the marked/unmarked status of a list when it is saved and re-imported. New menu item(s) to check / uncheck all items in the cart list at once. Fixes: Slow scrolling issue. Rearrange status and item list columns so longer items don't display over or behind the status checkbox. Unicode character display issues with language files. Labels no longer cut off in different languages. Other: Changed checked-item image to green checkmark to match "Manila" styling. There are 15 language files now included, thanks to all the contributors for making the changes from the previous version. Old language files are not compatible with this release and will cause an issue when the application loads if you try to use one. Had to temporarily remove color and strikethrough options for compatibility. Will try to add this back in for next release. Version 2.1: Fix startup issue for alternate language roms. Remove scrollbars but still allow scrolling, to be more like other touch-sensitive scrolling applications. Ability to customize the color of checked / unchecked items if MultiColorFonts is enabled. Multiple language support. Moved application settings into registry rather than .xml file.
Downloads The files are below. Shopping Cart Companion needs to be extracted. It requires .NET 3.5 framework on your computer. Also, here is a link to all the .NET 3.5 compact framework installation files. You specifically need to have: NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab NETCFv35.Messages.XX.wm.cab (where XX indicates your phone's language)
Hi thanks, that's really cool. I will use it as a to do list (I had raised this question a while back). It's not quite as good as getting it as a front page tab, but it will suit me fine. Cheers!
Fantastic, thank you. Just last week I was thinking that it would be better to have a program that I could easy mark off what I have got. Now it is here. Cool Thanks
Looks good...thanks!
Looking mighty fine crack . Lol @ forgetting cab file in first post. /a
great work buddy.
Any one has ried on qvga?
Hey just tried this and on QVGA and it works but it seems that the spacing is slightly out compared to yours on the WVGA? Have a look Apart from that all seems good!
great work, thanks!
cRaCKwHoRe said: A while back I wrote a very basic utility where I could write a shopping list and use it on my phone to go shopping with rather than taking a piece of paper and a pen with me. I got tired of forgetting stuff LOL! I use it every time I go to the store. I just thought I would share it with you all. You can manually type in items to add to the shopping list or you can type up a list in Notepad or something similar. If you want to import a list in the application just save the file as a text file with each entry separated by a carriage return (new line / Enter) and copy it to your device. Then, in the application click File and Open and browse to where you copied the .txt file. When you tap an item (click it) it toggles strikethrough text style, in effect marking it as found Attached are a few screenies. I'm open to suggestions as far as modification and such. It is designed for and works for the Touch HD as far as resolution is concerned. I don't know about other devices as I haven't tested it on any as I have no others. Also, it requires .NET compact flash 3.5. Click to expand... Click to collapse I like it How about I help you with designing some graphics for this? It's functional as it is, I'd just like to see it a bit prettier

Anyway of getting it to work on TF3D home screen as a plugin? Like it could say "10 items on list" then you click it and it loads the program?

If they can I could look into it.
saw your announcement in Dutty's area, and got it. Work like a charm, man, thanks. I have been looking for a super simple one like this for long
Simple and useful... Thanks!!

5) Allows user to customize 6 extra Themes in addition to the built-in 3 Themes.
6) Allows toggling of word wrap

Latest version 1.3 is up! Major changes are: - Bookshelf/memo_list/recent_files hybrid system. So basically, you can use it as a memo list, bookreader, and text file editor as well. - Fixed most of the pesky question marks by using windows-1252 as the default encoding. - Added a lot of encoding options from ISO, windows 125_, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. - Themes! Customizable themes, and you can specify your own background images (Paid version only). - Share your files via email/bluetooth etc. - Built in file browser - No more popup nag box! :s Search and replace only works within the displayed text for now.
New version 1.35! New features: 1) Toggleable word wrap 2) Specify which type of End-Of-Line chars to use when saving files, '\r', '\n', or '\r'+'\n' 3) Improved Find/Replace and GoTo function. Background no longer dims. 4) Stability fixes, some quite important ones. Make sure you update if you haven't yet!

Tuhoaja said: That looks really nice for first program! Im sure people will use this Btw, how did you do this? Click to expand... Click to collapse With Eclipse IDE and Java, picking it up as I went along . Crux of the whole app is the proper loading and saving of file chunks, customizing the EditText behavior, and its backup system. But actually not many people are downloading it
New version 1.40! NTW now talks! Comes with ability to adjust pitch, speech rate, and supported languages. But be warned, I think Android's Text to Speech is a bit buggy, so the voice doesn't really respond consistently to my controls for pitch and speech rate. Edit: I found out it does respond consistently, but I have to be patient and wait for the next sentence to play naturally, instead of pressing stop and play for instant replay
v1.41 is out. It only patches NTW crashing due to certain Text to Speech settings. Download if you encounter this crashing.
why not put this awesome app in the market? I'm quite sure that all txt editors currently available do have size limit a suggestion: it needs to support more codes like UTF-8 UTF-16BE UTF-16LE UTF-32BE UTF-32LE WINDOWS-1251 WINDOWS-1252 WINDOWS-1253 WINDOWS-1255 SHIFT_JIS ISO-2022-JP ISO-2022-CN ISO-2022-KR ISO-8859-5 ISO-8859-7 ISO-8859-8 BIG5 GB18030 EUC-JP EUC-KR EUC-TW IBM855 IBM866 KOI8-R MACCYRILLIC HZ-GB-2312 X-ISO-10646-UCS-4-3412 X-ISO-10646-UCS-4-2143 edit: oh i have found it. the market search system s*cks .typing the app name and not find in the start but middle of the list
It does already support many of the encodings you listed, including all 5 of the UTF encodings, most Windows 125*, ISO8859-*, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, Big5, Shift-JIS, variants of GBK, etc etc However, it doesn't really do auto detection... Only autodetects UTF encodings provided that your file specifies the BOM bytes for it. For files without BOM or with BOM for the other encodings, you have to manually select its encoding from the list in Tools-->Themes-->Encoding playerzking said: why not put this awesome app in the market?

Hmmm, this list of encodings look familar, are you the developer for Jota text editor? http://android-apps.com/applications/tools/jota-text-editor/
I just found out that NTW crashes on startup on the Galaxy Ses owned by 2 of my mom's friends. They are typical users who experience lots of lag on their Galaxy S because they never tweak, optimize, root, upgrade to 2.2, or even use an external sdcard. Nevertheless, I am quite bemused why NTW crashes so consistently on their Galaxy S but not mine, considering that NTW does not require much system resources, nor the external sdcard to run. I would be very grateful if any Galaxy S users would feedback to me if NTW regularly crash on their phones as well.
Ok, I think I've solved the crashing problem some of you may be experiencing. Hopefully anyway...... v1.42 - Patches NTW crashing due to your phone's Text to Speech settings or lack of TTS. - More encodings: ISO-2022 for JP, KR & CN. KOI-8R for russian.
Heheheheh!!! Always wanted to implement multiple undo/redo, but only recently figured out how to do so efficiently v1.45 - Multiple undo/redo! Undo History bar allows easy rewinding or fast forwarding of your changes, maxed at 9999 steps. "Reset chunk" replaces the original Undo/Redo menu option. Clicking of "Reset chunk" is recorded in Undo history. Note: Free version has Undo history of only 1 in addition to "Reset chunk". - Improved File Browser - Streamlined File List interface. Long press to view the preview, file properties, "Forget" and "Share" options.
NTW v1.47 is out! Basically, this update makes the search, goTo, and undo/redo operations much easier than before. It also makes much better use of the space at the top which was previously just showing the filename and current %. - Implemented fast scroll thumbs for browser and NTW shelf . - Icon toolbar for convenient undo/redo, goTo, search, load next/prev chunk. Long click of undo/redo buttons pop up the undo history bar. Click the % display to shwo the goTo dialog. - Improved goTo function.
NTW v1.48 is out! - Fast scroll thumb for the main text box! (Built from scratch, whew! The behavior of ListView's fast scroll thumb was really tough to emulate properly ) - Progress bar above icon bar to show you where is your currently loaded chunk. - Search backwards in addition to searching forwards. Plus some tweaks to search behavior
v1.49 is out! This is mostly tweaking the behavior, performance and efficiency of undo/redo, search and replace, and the cursor. - Fixed search backwards so that it works for single char searches too. - Tweaks to UI of file browser and File List when adding/forgetting files - Changed Replace operation so it is more compatible with undo/redo - Fixed the auto shifting of cursor interfering with delete by holding down delete key - Minor cursor tweaks and speed enhancement to File List
V1.51 is out! New features: - Incredibly cool Viking android as fast scroll icon! - Even more incredibly cool menu icons! - Delete command now available in file browser. This should be useful if you sometimes find yourself itching to do some file clean up from within NTW itself. - Adjustments to left and right indent seekbar range and auto fadeout time of fast scroll icon. - Self-fading pop up dialog boxes for messages like successful save, successful overwrite, or other error messages. I made the fadeout time for non-error related messages quite fast, but if you still find them irritating, let me know and I'll program in a check box to toggle their existence.
V1.52 is out! Changes: - File List now displays the file name only. - Added shortcut to change "Encoding". Long press the main editing window to bring up the context menu, then select "Encoding Options". - Ratings button, and my blog address added into Help - Text cursor will no longer move along with the scrolling page. - Tablet users should (hopefully) be able to find NTW in the Market now. - NTW now supports only Android v 2.2 or higher. I think NTW was crashing for for v2.1. I'm thinking I should probably move on to something else for now. Have an idea for an interesting variation of a file explorer.... I'll get back to NTW as and when I have time, maybe improve the search and replace or the GoTo % accuracy etc.
Hi, why it is said "my device is not compatible" when I try to install from market? I 'm using Motorola MB525(defy)
