iMulator
Hey guys,
There is a big chance that you don't know me, cause this is my first release for a Mobile Device. Because of this I'd like to introduce myself before I'll tell something about my latest project.
About me:
I'm an 18 year old TI student living in The Netherlands. I’m studying at the ‘Hogeschool Rotterdam’ but because of my successes I'll switch to the Technical University of Delft ( Which you can compare to MIT ). I've been programming since I was around 15 years old, but as I said in the introduction, this is my first release for a Mobile Device.
About 'iMulator':
I’m the proud owner of a HTC Touch Pro 2 but (as many other Windows Mobile devices) it lacks a truly good music player. Most of the music players that are available for this platform don’t have the features I look for, even the paid versions don't suit my neads. It bothered me so much that I almost regretted buying a TP2 instead of an iPhone.
Spending loads for an iPhone to replace my TP2 that costed me 550€ 8 months earlyer wasn't an option, instead I got the idea to develop my own. I wanted a music player that had the following features:
- Library based
- Finger friendly
- Works smooth
- Lets you find and play your song in no-time
With this list I decided to make an iPhone Music Player Emulator
Requirements:
- Windows Mobile Device
- Windows Media Player ( It's library is used ONLY to play the songs )
- Microsoft's Compact Framework ( Click )
- Approximately 5 MB of RAM
- Approximately 3 MB of Storage
Screen Support List
Supports
- 240 * 320
- 480 * 800
Unknown
- The Rest
Does NOT support
- NONE
What is NOT(yet) in it?
- The Landscape album view. ( will NOT not be implemented )

Hello Gz reb3lzrr
This iMulator (Alpha release) is slick, am looking forward to your next release. This is a great idea which will only get better. Thanks.
I have an LG eXpo (Mobile 6.5 OS). Here is a bug occuring with this app and phone combo. Nothing to prevent using the app, but troublesome:
When I close the app's window using either LG's "quit app" button on the phone or with the Windows' taskbar "X" hotspot the OS crashes to an error screen. If I quit from within the program's menu it exits properly.
This prevents me from switching the screen focus to a new app. |

I have an Acer S200. The iMulator works OK except for one problem. When the "Most Played" playlist is started, the song playing repeats over and over instead of moving to the next song. This happens when the phone is both on or off. I continually have to press the skip button to change to the next song.
I have Window Mobile 6.5 |

This is indeed a bug, but a fairly easy fix;
- Open Windows Media Player
- Select and play a song
- Your now in the 'Now playing' screen, go to Menu->Shuffle/Repeat Deselect everything there
- You can close WMP now.
- Open iMulator
- Play a song
- Your now in the now playing window
- Select File->Loop Settings->Repeat - Playlist
there you go |

I am running a Omnia 2, Windows Professional 6.5 but i am unable to install the imulator cab. Is there anyway to go about it or are there similar cases`? I have installed Microsoft compact framework also.
Ps, i think the program is a fantastic one! |
