ofcourse I will be doing some development for Q500. ;) :D and I will share my review herE!
[XOLO A500S] manugoenka:
Hey Vishal,

FInally my phone is up and working in stock rom. IMEI etc, everything fixed. but when I am flashing your ROM v2. it again goes in bootloop. I did what you mentioned below, but still, is there any fix required for A500S IPS as it is MTK6572W processor.

Thanks again for all your help, its been amazing experience.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

Followed exactly same instructions on xolo A500S IPS for v2.5 and again the same bootloop. I manually unmouted the system before installing. What I am missing or this is not for xolo A500S IPS ?
[XOLO A500S] vishalgunthey:
Sad to know u sold this beast..But all the best in your future development ahead..:)
[XOLO A500S] iamnimit:
sold it to buy XOLO's Q700 !!! It's awesome and definitely a better choice then Q500! :)

I think it shud support XOLO A500S IPS. Since I dont have that device (A500S, i sold it) I cant really figure what's wrong

Can you help me with, how much partition for apps n how much partition for User data in ur A500S IPS
[XOLO A500S] manugoenka:
How can I check partition info ?
[XOLO A500S] iamnimit:
Go to settings / storage and tell me what all is there?
[XOLO A500S] manugoenka:
Internal storage

Total Space 1.27 GB

SD card

Total Space 14.81 GB

Phone storage

Total Space 1.24 GB
[XOLO A500S] iamnimit:
In A500S normal, I think the partition was

"Internal storage

Total Space 1.27 GB

Phone storage

Total Space 1.27 GB"

I m not sure, but this may be the problem?!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys,

This is a spinoff from my VJPhoneShortcuts app. However, it's useful on its own, even for those without a phone.

This app is designed to be assigned to a hardware key or to be used with a program like SmallMenu or Xbar.

It will simulate pressing the OK button or Close button.

Note: it will close apps, not minimise them. So it can be used as a tiny taskmanager, to close tasks to save memory.

WM5 and WM2003 compatible.

Unfortunately because of the nature of these apps, it needs refinement depending on the apps you use, but it should be quite stable. Please report problems.

Version Info:

v0.7 = 13.02.2006:

Major update, fixing GPRS issues, adds Reminder hiding, Reminder ghosting, Basic TaskSwitching

v0.71 = 15.02.2006:

Minor bug fix on certain calls still being detected as active even when closed.

Todo:

Exception list - nearly done!

The option list is getting long. I sugget using the "VJOkButt VJ's" shortcut on the red button to see the various features in action.

Reminders before:

Reminders after:

PLEASE NOTE: because reminders don't like being hidden, they will still try to get your attention from time to time. You will notice this because they will "steal focus", ie try to show themselves, even though they're hidden. This means that when you are writing text with the SIP etc, your input will stop suddenly etc. I cannot preven this OS feature (right now. I will consider trying to override it later). So don't leave reminders hidden forever, it will become inconvenient.

Reminders notification (in tray):

Another great work!

Also I like the name.... VJ... Butt hahaha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
The idea of ok-close button simulation is great because this button is used ussually. But there is 4 hardware buttons to assign and it's great if user can assign hangup button (red button) for ok-close button. In the phone call, the red button will hang up the phone as default, otherwise it will simulate ok-close button. And could you add an option for "really close" or "minimize" function?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Xadaa: yes, the name was not chosen by accident, and is 110% true, ask my girlfriend :wink:

Pocket Me: For a tiny/simple program it requires a lot of work under the skin :( Minimise option will be added as a command line option.

The red button: I'll look into it, but different people will have different ways of using it (hardware button, launcher, start menu etc) so I don't really want to make it specific. I recommend that you use a program like ButtonMax that can have different key mappings depending on the active program. But it should be doable.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
I'm waiting for the next version with new command-line option. Thank you!

The red button: you did not understand me. At this moment, there's no button mapping software can process the red-button (even ButtonMax).

The red-button is only used to hangup the phone as default. That's why it's great if we can assign ok/close simulation to red-button (simulate only if idle -> it means it is still used to hangup in a call). So we can keep 4 hardware buttons to use in different purposes by button mapping software.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I think AE Button plus will assign to the red key won't it?

Not sure if it's WM5 compatible, but I think it does for WM2003.

I could make a version of VJOkButt that would act like AEButtonPlus to assign it to the red key, but AEButtonPlus does the job well.

I will make a version that hangs up if you're in the phone app.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
Yep, I know. We can assign red-button by AEButton but it will remove the default function of phone hangup. It means: assign red-button to do something, it can not hangup the phone anymore.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
No problem! You can already hang up the phone using VJKeyPress with command line 115.

http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJKeyPress:Key_List

I'll join the two programs together so it will hang up the phone if you're in a call, or close/minimise all others.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
Thanks for your considering!

Could u pls develop a tiny program allow users can assign red-button for ok/close simulation or anything they want but still keeping the default function of it (hang the phone). It's the best solution: keeping the default function of red-button when the phone application window or the incoming call window are activated, otherwise do its assignment.

Why the phone application window? Because if pressing red-button in phone application, it will close (de-activate) phone application window or cancel the outgoing call so no need to simulate ok/close there.

It's great if you add an option for press n hold the red-button (but for the future maybe).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xadaa:
I totally agree with Pocket Me here

The red button is so useless in most case, I only use it now as a "Home" butt since it will bring me back to today page, but I rather have it close program instead

But once I reprogram the red button with AEButton, the red button no longer act as a close phone button.

I would love to have a program to do the following for the red button (I wouldnt mind paying for it too)

Single press = ok/close program (closes phone app too, not just minize it)

Press and hold = home page (minize all)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Xadaa: I'll see what I can do.

I had some other ideas for the tap and hold, but I'll tell you about them later once I get basic functionality working.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, major update to version 0.5.

WM2003 and WM5

Updates:

-min command line will force programs to minimise (normal OS action) and NOT close.

-phone command line will switch to the phone if you are in a call and you press VJOkButt. If you are in the phone and press it, it will hangup.

-phclose command line will force the phone to close, not minimise, to save extra memory (but will cause minor incompatibility with dialing from contacts.)

-about command line for about box.

This update is designed to be used with a program like AEButton Plus to replace the Red Phone key. You can now use it to hang up the phone if you are in a call. If you are not in a call, you can use the red key to close programs and dialogs like a tiny task manager, to conserve memory etc. So hopefully you have a much better and more useful Red key.

Install the cab.

Once installed, I suggest you assign "VJOkButt Phone" version to a hardware key.

I recommend using AE ButtonPlus to assign it to the red phone key.

Note: I'm very new to TAPI and spent the weekend learning this stuff. I'm not updating my website to v0.5 until it's been tested by you guys. But it works well for me!

Please post your feedback, good and bad! I need to know how it works on all systems.

VJOkButt 0.5 cab

And in case I screwed up the cab again, here's the .exe directly:

VJOkButt 0.5 exe

V

PS I'm using the <string> includes to process command lines. Unforunately this has increased the size of the exe 3 times. If someone knows a more efficient string class, please tell me about it!

The size shouldn't be an issue since it's never resident in memory for long.

But I'll try to shrink it later :wink:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
Great, vijay555! I'll try and tell you about it later. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
vijay555,

I've just downloaded it then installed to my XDA Mini. But all parameters did not work at all. It always close the active program. Maybe, you forgot update the file because the size of VJOkButt.exe is 11KB.

(By the way, pls check shortcuts in installation package. There are some mistake there, all shortcuts always have wrong path "Storage Card\!Install\VJStuff\VJOkButt.exe" :?: ).

RE

Hi vijay555

I think I get your copy from the 1st post instead of the v0.5 for my use as a task manager. Its working great but I missed the 'CLOSEALL' task manager

Any news of your 'CLOSEALL' program? I do hope you can incorporate the feature of closing individual as well as all applications into a single task manager something like the HandySwitcher or MagicButton

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nitrogen:
VJ, thx

you really forgot to update .exe

btw how to use it with aebuttons?

red - phclose (or phone?) which better?

red*2 - w/o parameters and it will just close app?

red*3 - min
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
vijay555, can I use combined parameters, e.g: -phone -min

I'd like VJOkButt simulate Ok/Close button normally and hangup the phone during incoming/outgoing calls also.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Gosh, sorry guys, I'm so stupid. I had the shortcuts pointing to a different folder on my SD card, so didn't notice the .exe was different. I'll repost hopefully this afternoon.

Nitrogen: when I repost :)

Use AE Button Plus (works on WM5 and Wm2003 for me) remap red key to an application.

Then use the -phone version to hang up the phone, or otherwise close apps.

The -phclose version will properly close the phone, not minimise it. This is not always recommended because it can cause problems with some apps that expect it to be there (eg dialling from contacts). However, in my use I prefer to fully close the phone app when not needed to save memory. So use -phclose. If you don't specify -phclose, the phone is merely minimised to keep it happy.

All other apps are closed, unless you specify the -min override, which will force all apps to minimise in the normal OS manner.

Pocket Me: yes command line parameters can be combined like that.

Although AE Button Plus will allow you to do multiple key presses, later versions of VJOkButt will contain double tap and hold button features itself. But for now, do with it whatever you wish!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:

<string> include

Hi

I use MFC for small apps as the MFC dll is in rom they come out pretty small with all the string handling you might need.

My camera timer app is only 11KB.

BOOL CCameraTimerApp::InitInstance()
{
....
....
// search the command line to see if there is a "q" in it, if so exit camera app
CString csCmdLine(m_lpCmdLine);
if (csCmdLine.FindOneOf(TEXT("qQ"))!=-1)
dlg.ExitCameraApp();
}

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Jamie:

thanks! i was going to try cstrings tonight. I had tried them once before but I think I messed up one of the includes because .exe went to > 1mb!

Your example code looks useful. I'll try again tonight.

Strings were one of the worst things to learn going from VB to EVC :( Thanks again.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwhitham:
In the first page of the project settings in EVC you need to have "Use MFC in Shared DLL" selected this way it uses the library in ROM and doesn't include an extra 1MB in your .exe

Cheers

Jamie
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Doh, of course. I didn't investigate further and immediately switched to <strings> but cstrings should keep things nice and lean.

Ta very much!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nitrogen:
phone/phclose don't work for me :(

sure phone app is minimizing/closing but it does't hangup it :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Nitrogen: which version are you using?

You need to use Version 0.5 with the "-phone" option to enable hangup control. The standard VJOkButt just minimises the phone.

So, to assign it to a hardware key, use the version called:

"VJOkButt Phone"

Anyone else had success or failure? Please indicate your OS and device.

Dear Vijay,

Request pls post the app which will enable the Today screen as shown...

:x :x
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nitrogen:
damnit. u sure :) i download it but forgot to reinstall :)

works :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
Vijay555, that's great work! VJOkButt works well on my device (O2 XDA Mini - WM2K3). I use AEButton to assign <VJOkButt -min -phone> to the Red phone button.

Just some small issues:

1) VJOkButt always shows the phone application to hang up a phone call:

If I have an incoming call or make an outgoing call while I'm not in the phone app (phone app is not activated), and I press Red button (assigned to VJOkButt), VJOkButt'll show the phone app then I have to press Red button again to hang up the phone call.

Could you fix that? Is it OK if hang up a phone call without show the phone app?

2) Pls keep the default function of the Red button in phone app:

As default, if I press the Red button in the Call History or Speed Dial of phone app, it'll minimize the phone immediately and it'll also close the Smart Dialing (if running). It's more comfortable than simulation Ok/Close button here (only in here).

That's all! VJOkButt will be very smooth if there's no small above issues.

By the way, your idea about the later version of VJOkButt is great. I hope to see VJOkButt will be combined with the Red button mapping feature. But I think you should not allow double press or press n hold Red button because it may make the single press reaction slow down.

Thanks for your great tiny program!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
hdubli: there are quite a few threads on my screen setup.

Basically it's ToggleToday with PhoneAlarm, VJAudioNotes, AlarmToday customised for me, NotesToday with my minimised skin, SPB Weather, then hidden is VJQOTD, VJTodaySpacer and finally claunch using my VJPhoneTools.

Pocket Me: the red key switching to the phone was by design, so that you could only close apps after you've quit the phone, ie so you know that you're in a call (so original "phone" functionallity takes priority).

However, I just realised that pressing the green key always switches to the phone anyway, so you don't need this "feature", so I'll take it out.

Now it will end calls if in a call and in the phone app, or otherwise it will minimse/close any other app.

I'm not quite sure about your point 2. On Wm2003, when I'm in Speed Dial, pressing ok takes me back to the phone. Using VJOkButt does the same. Do you want it to do something different?

I will test press and hold and doubletap and only implement it if it's quick. My fingers are fast, and I guess yours are too!

I will also compress it down with jwhitham's advice.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xadaa:
Wow, excellent little program here ViJay!

I am loving it already

Do expect a donation from me soon

But however there is a slight problem as for now (I only use it for 1hr or so)

When I do the close phone feature, I no longer can receive call anymore... is there a way I can close the phone but yet still get call normally?

btw I am using iMate Jam

I will post more soon after I try out the program a little more
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
That sounds good!

This point is: HTC Magician's Ext ROM has an utility called "Smart Dialling". It is intergrated into the standard phone app for quick calling a contact. I found that "Smart Dialling" also assigns Ok/Close button to close Smart Dialling (if running) in the phone app and quick minimize a current program.

Pls see the attach pictures below:

At the first picture, the phone app with Smart Dialing is active. Press the Red button here, it will minimize the phone app and close Smart Dialing also. It's very comfortable because it's no need to close Smart Dialing manually by press n hold back space button. The phone app without running Smart Dialling is in the second picture.

If simulating Ok/Close button at the first picture, it'll minimize the phone but when I call the phone again, Smart Dialling is still there.

So that will be a great solution: pls add more a parameter to let the Red phone button is as default in phone app (not change anything).

If you allow press n hold/double press you'll need to define a short delay time from the KEY_DOWN event before do the button's action. That's why it's more slow than single press only (do the button's action at once KEY_DOWN event, no delay for catching press n hold/double press events).
