[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
looks like I found the solution http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...e-task-is-not-in-the-foreground-in-wp7-applic I'll fix it when I get home along with any other bugs that you guys find
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Turns out it didnt like me trying to close the application after I navigated to the requested page. No worries I have now suppressed the error. I'll wait another hour to see if any more bugs crop up and then release 2.0.1
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
I found bug MJCS...

1 - I clic on Icon of Alarms for example in the home menu of app to edit it.

2 - I clic on "Icon" in the Visuals menu to change it.

3 - In "stock" menu, i return (back) in the visuals menu

without

modifications.

4 - I have an error message : "Unhandled Exception : NullReferenceException"

5 - i clic on OK 3 times and the application closed !

6 - i restart the app

7 - The icon on tile "alarm" in the Home menu of your app is empty and I can't open Alarms shortcuts NOW ! same error if i clic on Icon to go in the edited Menu ! ... the application restart !

... Alarms Shortcut is condemned !!!

To use it again, i must delete and reinstal the app in my phone :)

thankx man !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] voluptuary:
This is just a suggestion, but to increase speed and user experience perhaps you might want to remove any/all shortcuts that can be pinned already without your app and leave only those that couldn't be pinned without your app? I know that some might not like this becuase they would have less custimization options, but there are other programs out there that allow you to change tiles and add themes and such and that really isn't the point of your app.

Anyways I don't mean insult your work, and feel free to dismiss this, it's only a suggestion.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bc3tech:
let me just add to all the compliments by saying HALLELUJAH! I have been WAITING for an app that allows pin to start of Battery Saver & Brightness. I was trying to figure out how to do it myself, but haven't figured it out :)

Thanks again!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Yeah that is what I was planning on doing. I just havent had time to do it yet

** EDIT **

I am working on making it so you can slice up an image into 8 tiles at the moment. Once I got that working I'll release an update and a few bug fiexs.

Error with Internet Sharing Shortcut

I am getting this error when I use the Internet Shortcut on my HTC Titan.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Klocker2:
getting same for all of my shortcuts at one time or another

focus S

Chevron unlock

Interop unlock
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Yeah I will be disabling that error tonight. Dont worry about it. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
Getting an error when using the app.

Pls look into it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
identical problem here as well. I uninstalled it. Thought it must be just mine. Glad you wrote it up so nicely for the developer to see. I can confirm the same bug on my LG Quantum with 7740
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] voluptuary:
These kind of posts are terribly

UN

-helpful. It's like telling someone that lives with a hoarder to "Go find that thing in that pile over there."

What error did you get? Is it one of the ones already posted? What were you doing when it happened? Can you make it happen again?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Polishing this up now :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
take it man : full fr-FR translation ;)

Thankx
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ballajalla:
Great work man!

Excuse my French, but shouldn't that last one be something like "exception non gérée" ? ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
This is taking longer than expected. There will be an update...just not sure when. Darn bugs.

** EDIT ** I found the cause of the app slow down...just need to track it down now.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
I just updated the files to version 2.1. Here is what has changed:

Version 2.1.0 - 2012-01-02

Added new multi tile cropper :)

Added ability to delete custom icons and backgrounds

Suppresed 'Error: -2147220990'

Fixed Bricked tile when pressing back button from the edit, icon, and backgrounds screens without making any changes

Unchecking the tile on the main page no longer launches the edit screen

Fixed scrolling issue on custom image page

Removed remaining hardcoded tile names

Here is what is coming soon:

Better multi tile image cropper (it is experimental so far)

Waiting on the other translators to update their language files. I have French so far.

Ability to select preset themes

Back tiles :)

Performance increase

Ability to have multiple tiles that launch the same task. This would be for launhing Websites for example. You will get the option to type an address if you want.

Option to Do things that the API can do such as call a person, e-mail a person, etc

Blank tiles that do absolutely nothing :P

More "stock" icons

Some UI changes

Ability to bulk add tiles (possibly)

Option to select from applications that are from the APP store :)

Reticulated splines :rolleyes:

Maybe a neat feature for those that donate.

Im also working on launching shortcuts without having to launch Supreme Shortcuts firts (though this might not work).

Device specific utilities such as the Dell Engineering Mode, Samsung Diagnostics screen, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
I love idea "Back Tile" in your post MJCS ... With this feature, the app is welcome by wp7 usées that like metro style !!

Thankx
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mwf:
I've updated the danish translation :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
MJCS, when i run the app in my FR Omnia 7, the pages are not in my language but in en-US !

Just the title of tiles are in French language ... as the v2.0 :)

why ? :o lol
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Klocker2:
2.1 works great! thx

only issue I noticed was one of the shortcuts (IE tabs) does not show it's icon unless you select it form the customize (stock) menu

edit:

oh but why do they no longer default to default accent color even if I did not customize

in fact loading the app shows the first loaded accent color only even when changing the phone accents
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
How to add my custom icon ?? ... Because it's a PNG with transparency and Zune dont sync PNG format :s
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
@poloche I havent updated the translation files as I need all the langauges now that we have multi languages. If they take more than 3 days I'll drop their languages from the next release.

You should be able to place your pngs on your sky drive account.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
When you first load the applications I store the accent color you currently have. I might in a later version leave it blank untill you customize it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
Ok,

1 - I put my custom icon "InternetExplorer173.png" in "Pellicul Skydrive" directory.

(... the picture have lose the transparency... ?! ---> transparency is convert to black with white borders)

2 - I open Supreme Shortcuts app.

3 - I open the edit menu of Internet Explorer tile

4 - I clic on Icon in visuals menu

5 - I slide to Custom page and clic on "+" button

6 - I choose my "Pellicule Skydrive" album

7 - I clic on my tile custom "InternetExplorer173.png"

8 - It's open the scale selection of icon and i clic on "V"

9 - Message error :

10 - The app crash ! ...

11 - I restart the app, go to shortcut tile Internet Explorer... Visuals Page, clic on Icon and go to Custom icon page.

12 - I see my custom tile icon... but not transparency :s

13 - I select it to use.

14 - I pin the shortcut tile in my home

15 - ... Can't use png transparency with this method (skydrive and zune)

I get a way to use my .png with WP7 root tools and App Data of your apps, but it"s more easly with your app ;) ... i'm waiting for a fix, you are the best of shortcute tile !!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
I will investigate it further.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
It looks like in my haste to get the multi tile system working i neglected to look at the single item. I will debug it here in a little bit and update the application to 2.1.5 later tonight (GMT -8)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
First of all I wish you a happy new year ! Thanks again for the latest version.

I got the same errors as described by poloche.

Why you don´t allow to upload .png files from the isolated storage of your app ?

We could upload the icons with Windows Phone Power Tools.

Skydrive isn´t a solution because you loose transparency and quality.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Yeah I've noticed. You can upload to the ISO store if you wish:

Shared\ShellContent\Icons

Shared\ShellContent\Backgrounds

You can name them whatever you wish there. I am looking for a way to import the pngs without them being converted to jpegs. I will let you know here in a few hours if I get it to work.

As for the import of a single item, I have fixed it. My only question is should I continue to save the icon as the ItemName and always overwrite if you are uploading new icons. For example if I have a custom AccountSetup.png, should the system replace that custom Accountsetup.png or should it create a unique name (I am prefixing all the tile backgrounds with the date (which I just noticed I put the minutes in there instead of the month (derp)).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
PNG info

Ok so in browsing the msdn library I found this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff604987.aspx. Basically the SavePicture command (which is what is used to save a picture to the pictures gallery) only saves in jpeg.

So this leaves me with only a few options:

Let users upload to the ISO store as descrived in my last post

Create a desktop program that does the above for those who have no idea how to do that

Give users the option to import from a url directly. Imports image or zip with multiple items

Or an old school method of importing png/jpg/bmp files with a matted background with a specific color such as #00ffff or such and then use ImageTools to remove that color.

The first 3 options will retain the transparancies. The last option obviously has no real transparancy untill processed by the phone.

It really sucks that microsoft only supports jpg files in the pictures library.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Which option do you think I should impliment?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] voluptuary:
option 3 for a couple reasons. One, it would be a nice way to build up a repository of icon images. Upload the files to one specific site and then access them via the app. And two I think that would be easier for everyone, less programing for you (I think) andd less tinkering for the end user.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Implimenting now...lets see how long this takes.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
Yes option 3 for me !! thankx
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
the latest version still gives error when trying to choose a picture from photo album!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Magpir you are being really unhelpful by not giving me the actual error code. With that said, if you continue to post items that are not helpful in anyway you will be placed on my ignore list.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Version 2.2.0 is now available for consumption! Nom nom nom.

Version 2.2.0 - 2012-01-03

Fixed error on adding a new single icon or background

The sliced up backgrounds now have the correct date/timestamp in the isolated storage (old images will not be touched)

Added crop selection to the multitile window

Added option to select a new image if you didn't like the cropped selection the first time

Added option to upload pngs, jpgs or zip files

Fixed tiles on the main page not loading their custom icons and backgrounds from isolated storage
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kirk999:
thanks for hard work with fixing bugs

any more new versions for next few days?

we all need some rest :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Likely not unless a OMG WTF BBQ bug pops up. I have a lot of work to do for the job that pays the bills and will likely be working a few extra hours. Since that will only leave me with time to work on this during lunch I will not be releasing any new updates.

I have listed out what I am going to work on for Supreme Shortcuts over the next few months a few posts back. I also need to focus my time on releasing the next big version of Star Trek Online Profile Viewer (Marketplace) that allows you to search your characters by username instead of an overly complicated Character ID.

I will update the translation files in a few days (maybe tomorrow if I have time) with a few new strings. After that if I don't get the updated translations a week later I will just start removing the languages.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
Works great now ! Screenshots attached.

For me the fastest way to copy my custom icons to the device is using the Iso Storage method.

I copy the .png´s with Windows Power Tools to the Iso Storage of your app (Icons folder) and that´s it.

A suggestion:

A pin button on the edit page of each shortcut would be nice, because it will save a lot of time. Going back to the startpage takes too much time.

When I´m back home again I will send a donation. Thanks again.

Cheers

contable
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Thank you. The reason behind not having a pin option on the edit screen is that you cant make changes to the tile once it is pinned. That is why you cant click on a tile untill it is unchecked. I guess I could make a button that forces a Navigation back and then adds the tile.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Leapo:
Probably not a big deal, but what caused the large drop in XAP size from 1.5 (1.1 MB) to 2.1 (886 KB) to 2.2 (530 KB)?

It's the incredible shrinking app!

Edit:

Bug Report 1: All tiles are blank once pinned with 2.2 unless I edit the tile and re-select the icon (even though it shows it already selected).

Bug Report 2: Tapping the "2x4" button now results in an instant "InvalidOperationException" error.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
I can´t confirm the reported bugs. All works fine on my OMNIA 7.

Bug2: The error appears when you are connected with Zune via USB... => the picture chooser only works if you are disconnected from zune.

Big thx again for all your hard work !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Storing the Icons and stuff as a resource for one helps a ton :)...who knew.

Also everytime I go through I try and refactor my code a bit here and there, remove things that I no longer am using, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
Hi,

i would like use my cutom icon in this adresse : http://imageup.fr/uploads/1325592493.png

But i have an error : The remote server returned an error: Notfound !

... have you an idea ?

Of course, i use the IsolatedStorage in second ;)

Thankx for your work MJCS !!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
As for the bugs, the photo chooser only works when disconnected from Zune because it uses the camera and you cant use it with the computer attached...There is a post somewhere in here with that.

You mean if you pin it without editing?...crap I'll fix that in a moment...stupid bugs.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
I dont use the photo chooser, but i use the url chooser photo :) ... and my Omnia 7 is not connected to my pc

I go in my work and retest after ;)

Good day to you !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Yeah it is the same task. This happens for all programs that make you select an image...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
So in setting the build action of my icons to resource I broke the icons that get pinned. Images can be from the ISO store, directly in the xap, or from a URL. I guess I have to go back to using directly from the xap and increase the xap by 100+kb.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Ok last version for today...I have work now.

Version 2.2.1 - 2012-01-03

Fixed icons not pinning to the start menu if you did not modify the tile at all

Boosted applicaiton performance

Reticulated splines

The last one is most important.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kirk999:
thanks for new version ;)

you are crazy worker :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
I've updated the first post with the following:

Coming soon (Do not ask when):

Waiting on the other translators to update their language files. I have French and German so far.

Back tiles :)

Ability to change the font, color, and size of the Tile Title (say that 10 time fast)

Ability to have multiple tiles that launch the same task. This would be for launhing Websites for example. You will get the option to type an address if you want.

Option to Do things that the API can do such as call a person, e-mail a person, etc

Blank tiles that do absolutely nothing :P

More "stock" icons

Some UI changes

Option to select from applications that are from the APP store :)

2 - If i want choose an icon in "Stock" ... same error and the app crash ! ...

With version 2.2.0, add and use icon PNG is working :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
I don't think it likes you...Can you cause the error please and send me the dat file?

Also is it a custom icon or background.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
Ok, i have reinstal the v2.2.1 ...

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
I cannot replicate your error. Do you know of anyone else with a Omnia 7 that can try it out?

Your folder structure should look like this:

@contable,

please can you test the v2.2.1 in your Omnia 7 and say me if it works ??

I can't change any png file of shortcuts tiles (stock or custom)/(icon or background) !!! Message error all times ! and the app crash ...

With the version 2.2.0, all of custom works :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
Hi poloche,

that´s strange. All themes I have posted have been created with V2.2.1.

It´s running without any problem on my OMNIA 7 (build 7740).

At this point I don´t know how I can help you. If you need any further information from my device feel free to contact me.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
I suggest uninstalling the application, reboot the phone, then re-install. I will also try on my end reproducing your error in the emulator by setting my locale to French. It is possible it is related to that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
Have you update the version 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 ? or just desinstal 2.2.0 and instal after 2.2.1 ?

But, if i instal he v2.2.0, configure my tiles, backgrounds and icon and AFTER that, i update to v2.2.1 ... that's works !! ... i have not the message error !

But i i first instal v2.2.1, i have all the time message errors ! :s
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
I will make a few changes tomorrow and send you a custom xap to see what is going on.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lerameur:
I had a bug here too!

When I hit back on the app, it crash and i won't able to open it again even after a reboot.

I have to uninstall and then reinstall the app..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poloche:
... in fact, may be a bug with french language settings ! :)

Click the first tile you wish to add, click background, click on the 2x4 button (4 boxes), then you can figure the rest.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Confirmed bug with French Language

Working on a fix :P

* UPDATE *

Found the bug :)

In refactoring my code I forgot to remove a piece of code that was creating the unique modelID (required for tiles and certain LINQ queries) based off of what I call NativeTitle. NativeTitle is what reads from the resources and grabs the title. I have a hard coded value for "Photos" in there. It just happend to be that the Native Title for "Albums" was "Photos" so it was trying to add a 2nd when it stores the dat file. I will work on a few other bugs and submit a new version later tonight.
