I've just finished the free game I talked about. It's a puzzle "airport game" - that is, you can play it while waiting to board ;). I will upload it tomorrow, I still need to design an icon and the website page for it. The name? Simple: Free Puzzle. Product page here.

 
New hosting & other news E-mail

I've just changed the hosting provider. The website was constantly down or with long response times. I hope things will be better now (page loading is really fast now). Perhaps some things won't work right away - just drop me an e-mail if you notice anything.

I've been working on WinMoTe and a small free game - I'll upload the latter soon - but I'm a bit sad Microsoft won't allow developers from other countries to join Windows Marketplace for Mobile. I would like to upload WinMoTe and the game there as well, but unfortunately I can't. I'm sure other developers are also frustrated about this :(. I hope they will fix this. Soon.

I started to work on a new project - called WinMoTe. It's nothing I can present to the public yet, however I'll soon upload a "pre-alpha" version for you to play. Hopefully I will receive some more interesting ideas to include as features. Stay tuned!

 
Cleaning up E-mail

I've been quite busy for a few days cleaning up the forums from spammers and their unwanted content. It seems they broke the CAPTCHA image a few months ago. This allowed automated registration and posting. So I needed to upgrade to the latest phpBB version and manually delete the 900+ users. Please forgive me if I accidentally removed a legit account - you need to re-register.

That being said, I will make myself more time to update the website.

I just uploaded SafeMode 3.1 on the server. You can update version 3.0 with the new one (registration is preserved). This version adds support for newer devices, such as HTC Touch HD, Touch Pro etc.

Check out the product page for download and purchase links.

IMPORTANT: Please note the new version is uploaded only on monocube.com. MobiHand, PocketGear, Handango will follow soon.

I was finally able to make 3.1 work on the newer devices - Touch HD, Touch Pro, etc. - many thanks to the beta testers.
I will release the new version tomorrow.

 
3.1 Beta 1 E-mail

Tomorrow I will send SafeMode 3.1 Beta 1 for testing to the beta group. I think I managed to make it work on the unsupported devices - and add some new features as well. Depending on the feedback and bug report, I will release the new version on Monday, or Tuesday.
 
3.1 soon E-mail

Just to let you know, SafeMode 3.1 is well on its track - it should be compatible with the devices not currently supported. Also, there are a number of new features included, such as a light backup function (as well as some SafeMode 2.1 features that are being re-designed, such as the orphan registry/shortcuts entries and startup options).

The beta is not yet ready for testing, but I will send it to the current beta testers group as soon as I have some time to finish it.

Stay tuned for more progress reports Wink

 
Omnia and Touch HD E-mail

It seems SafeMode 3 doesn't work as it should on Samsung i900 Omnia and HTC Touch HD. The boot menu doesn't appear on the first one, and you can't choose a menu option on the other one, since it doesn't have a navigation pad.

I will fix these problems in the next version, 3.1, which will also add a number of new features. Of course, it's a free upgrade for registered users. ;)

 
Does it work? E-mail

I would like to know if SafeMode 3 works on your device model and Windows Mobile version. Please send me a short message via our contact form with your device model and Windows Mobile version, and an answer to the following questions:

1. Does the SafeMode boot logo appear at startup?

2. If you press any hardware key OR tap SafeMode icon on top, do the boot options appear?

3. Can you select between the boot options with the navigation pad (up/down) - please let me know if your device has one as well (it seems the HTC Touch HD doesn't have one. I see it as a poor design decision for Windows Mobile, for now. I think it will break functionality for many applications, which are easier to operate using the D-Pad).

4. Can you select the boot options with the stylus? (Tap on one to test - it should be highlighted)

5. If you press the Action key (middle of D-Pad), does your device start with the selected option?

6. If you double-tap (like double-click on Windows PC) with the stylus on the selected boot option, does your device start?

This info will help me work on the issues for SafeMode 3.1, and I will make a list of compatible devices. Thank you.

PS. The honest people on the russian forums can also help me with this quest, instead of complaining it doesn't work on their devices. It's the least they can do if they are using SafeMode for free.

 
SafeMode 3 Released E-mail
Written by monocube

Today I managed to get some work done and release the official SafeMode 3. I would like to thank the active beta testers for their effort and time spent. As you will see, I added PayPal as a purchasing option - and I kindly ask you to use this one if you would like to buy a license. I also added Mobihand, Handango for those of you who prefer them. PocketGear and Plimus product pages are still being updated. They will be added to the list tomorrow.

Advice:
Please download the trial version first, and check if it works properly on your device model. There is a chance it won't. I did my best to ensure compatibility with WM5 / WM 6.x devices, however not all devices are the same, in terms of manufacturer configuration (in fact, I think there are no 2 devices alike). I tested SafeMode 3 on HTC TyTN (WM5 and WM6), old xda2 with WM5 and WM6, and an old xda2s with WM5 / WM6. I've also tested it on all available Windows Mobile emulators (WM 5, WM 6, WM 6.1 and WM 6.1.4).

Alright, so the new website should be running by now. Forums are also in place, so the beta-testers can use them for communication. The test will last until Monday, 24 November. After that, SafeMode 3 will be (finally) available for download Wink
 
Website update E-mail

Saturday, 15 November 2008 19:47

As you can see, I'm working on a new version of the website. It may take a few days until I put together all the bits and pieces, so please have a bit of patience.

Now, to give you the good news, SafeMode 3 - yes, 3 - is finished. I will send it to the beta-testers tomorrow. The release date is yet undetermined, but it shouldn't take longer than 3-4 days.
