Rosebud

Using Rosebud you can control devices via SMS (telematics applications) and/or use special SMS services offered by your mobile provider.

At the moment Rosebud is only available in German language. Also some features (e.g. GPS Calculator) will work for Europe only.

You can use the integrated GPS Calculator to translate GPS coordinates between three different formats.

If you are using TTN (TomTom Navigator) you can display the GPS coordinates as POI (Point Of Interest) in your TomTom navigator software.

If you have no TTN you may use my little web service to display the POI (connection to the internet needed). The availability and functionality of this web service depends on my web hoster and the underlying map service!

There exists also a Smartphone edition of Rosebud with the same featues as the Pocket PC editon.

This are just some examples what you can do with Rosebud. In Version 1.0 and 1.1 you have to edit the registry manually! Your mobile provider may also offer you some interesting SMS services. You may also create your own profiles and Rosebud (.rb) files.

Updating instructions

• Way A: Rename the Rosebud registry key (under HKCU\Software\HfrSoft) to Rosebud.bak, de-install Rosebud and install the new version. Then delete the created Rosebud key and rename Rosebud.bak to Rosebud and you will have all your profile and settings again.
• Way B: Backup HKCU\Software\HfrSoft\Rosebud (e.g. using PHM Registry editor) to a .reg file. Install the new version and restore the registry settings using DeviceInfo (or another utility that is able to import .reg files).
