I've just written 2 simple Pocket PC applications for clearing temp files recently. I would appreciate some help to beta test and provide feedback. :smile:

Basically, both apps are for clearing temp files in the Pocket PC. QuickClear is the simpler version and is very much similar to FastCleanup, BUT it does not clear AvantGo files. If you are wondering why the filesize is bigger, I have no idea how to optimize it.

ClearTemp offers more options than QuickClear. It is able to change the location of the temp files. However, there are no options to clear AvantGo files or mail attachments.

P.S: Please check subsequent posts or this page for updates.

Both apps are compatible with ARM-based processors. I'm not very sure if they work well on PPC2000/PPC2002. I've yet to add in registry checking for PPC2000/PPC2002. So if you temp file location is on the Storage Card or Storage ROM in PPC2000/2002, the clearing of temp files won't work yet. I will probably add it in in the next release.


QuickClear


ClearTemp

So far, these apps have been tested with:
- HP iPAQ h1940 (WM2003, QVGA)
- O2 XDA Exec (WM5, Default VGA)

Please try and let me know if these apps work on your device and whether this application is useful for you. I would love to hear some feedback or bug reports from u guys. I would also love to see screenshots of the app in other screen resolutions and orientations, e.g. True VGA, Square Screens, QVGA landscape, etc. :smile:

Btw can you write a simple software to search/read the Singapore Yellow Pages Telephone Directory CD data that we received yearly from Yellow Pages? It will be real useful. I may not mind paying you for the software.

Something like what Pocket MMSD does to that Singapore Street Directory CD data.

Sounds like a good idea. But the main obstacle would be to purchase the database from them.

Thanks Vicott, tested your two beta softwares, works well so far, no hiccups.

I don't think we need to buy the Yellow Pages data as they are distributed free anyway on CDs to registered house/office telephone users, what we need is permission to use them on PPC. Anyway users are already using them for free on their Desktop PCs. Same goes for MMSD, where weehong wrote and ask for permission which was granted.

But for PocketMMSD, it does not come with the database. Maybe should suggest to AvantLogic to develop a YellowPages application. Firstly, have to request for the database from YellowPages since it cannot be downloaded easily like SMRT/SBS bus info. With the experience AvantLogic have from their transport guide, I think they can create another nice YellowPages app if they decide to do so. :sowwy:

BTW, is my ClearTemp distorted in landscape view? Any portion being "cut" off other than the "about box" and the logo? How does it look like in True VGA mode?

Cool, thanks for the screenshots. Now, I'm just wondering whether the apps work on PPC2000/PPC2002....or maybe I need not bother with "antique" OS. :w00t:

Anybody tried ClearTemp on an iPAQ hw6515? Any screenshot to share? :sowwy:
