We have released a new build of all of the FreeStyl components to date, as well as a couple of wallpaper packages and an alpha version of the Contacts application.
This build, v 0.1.1.0, ties up a lot of loose ends in the code, and provides a number of enhancements to the FreeStyl system, including:
o A completely new installation process
o The ability to set a text color for icon text in the launcher
o Server stability tweaks, crash fixes in the Configuration Applet, and bug cleanup
o The FreeStyl Locker in it’s first release state (build notes coming soon!)
o An alpha build of the FreeStyl Contacts Browser
o Back end support for media playing features
FreeStyl Server, Launcher and Locker
This .CAB file includes the FreeStyl HTTP Server, the FreeStyl Launcher Flash Application, the FreeStyl Locker Flash Application, and the FreeStyl Configuraiton Applet.
Also included in the install are a selection of .PNG icons for use with the Launcher as well as a single sample wallpaper image.
NOTE: If you find this project useful or cool please consider making a small donation to help offset the hosting costs… and to help Kurt and I convince our wives that this hobby is worth putting time into ;)
Please view the Installation Instructions for this release:
STEP 1: Device Requirements
Before installing FreeStyl, please be aware that your mobile device must meet the following requirements:
- Your device must be running Windows Mobile 5 or 6.
- Your device must be a 240×320 device (The interface will scale to a high-res screen, but your screen must be rectangular).
- Your device must have a touch screen.
Step 2: Install the .NET Compact Framework
FreeStyl requires the use of the .NET CF 2.0 (Base, SP1, or SP2 should work, however all of our testing has been done with SP2.
If your device is relatiely new, it is very likely that the .NET CF is already installed in ROM. If you run the mobile version of Live Search you already have this install as well… it is also required by a number of 3rd party applications.
If it is not already installed you can download it here: Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP2.
Step 3: Install Adobe Flash Lite
FreeStyl runs in a mobile version of Flash called "Flash Lite". Flash Lite is a standalone Flash player that is not bound to your mobile web browser, which allows more direct access to the device than a browser based Flash player.
Download Adobe Flash Lite 2.1 from Adobe and install it on your mobile device. (Note: You will need to register with Adobe in order to download Flash Lite)
Step 4: Install FreeStyl
FreeStyle is distributed as a number of .CAB installation packages. At this time, there is not a desktop-based component of the setup process.
To install FreeStyle components, simply transfer the .CAB files you have downloaded from the Download Page to your mobile device via Active Sync, Storage Card, Direct Mobile Browser Download, or whatever method you wish to use. On the device, Click on Start, Programs, File Explorer and browse to the location of the .CAB file. Click on the .CAB file to begin the install.
The installation places two icons in your Programs folder, one to start the FreeStyl interface and another to stop the FreeStyl services.
Congratulations! FreeStyl is now installed and ready to use on your mobile device.
The installation routine will automatically remove older versions when installing later builds. If you wish to remove the components yourself, you can use the "Remove Programs" applet from your device’s Settings folder. Any custom wallpaper, icons, and contact pictures will not be removed, nor will your customized "settings.xml" file.
For Upgraders: If you are upgrading from an alpha release of FreeStyl (WNAI or FUI) it is very likely that your old installation is not in the same directory as the new one. Currently, FreeStyl will be installed to either \Program Files\FreeStyl or \Storage Card\Program Files\FreeStyl, depending on what you choose when launching the install.
To transfer your existing settings over, copy the settings.xml file, and any custom files in the LauncherIcons and Wallpapers folders from your old installation folder to the new install folder.
