did you read the manual? width is not allowed for Item-tag at all, but for the child-tags.

Neither the list for required nor optional attributes of Item-section has width listed...

of course it is NOT. Why do you think it does it?

Have you read the manual and understand how bs is working?

Actually some things are active even if the row is not visible, because you want your sms and calltimes count, but it doesn't make sense for other indicators, but anything's written to the manual..

I'm sorry, but i'm really too busy somehow.. as far as i can see any questions asked up to now is already answered in the manual, faq and this thread.. i guess you get a solution much faster by searching the available resources..

i hope i have some more time tomorrow...

btw. i've attached the AppLauncher to first thread. It seems useable for now. As soon as i've some time for then i will add a replacement for the bad filechooser of .net1.0.. i guess i will P/Invoke an external unmanaged dll using the WM5-filechooser...

what about

<Item class="data_traffic_remain" >

<label width="120" />

</Item>

Would this work?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] LordDeath:
copied that into the xml file, transfered onto my device and reload the theme --> batterystatus crashed :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
It must work ;)

beside there is a quote little over.. it must be width="120"

btw. thanks for your help here :)

just a suggestion. You could start a thread for Themes and/or questions for themes and i will assist if i have time for. Any theme-maker can help and supply information there. For better overview there should be a thread for presenting/providing themes and a thread for questions how to create themes.

I would do it myself, but i have so much to do... oh and it's christmas time which adds some stress too hehe

have you validated the xml with online-validator? You should always do that. BS tries the best to handle invalid xml, but it can't handle anything.

Oh and there is an issue with class="clock" which could crash the device, but will be solved in the next build. It's already fixed, but it must be tested well at first.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mr_deimos:
I've been playing around with the BatteryStatus for a whole now, and i must say that it's probably the bast Today screen plugin i've seen so far.

Here's what i've been able to do with it so far:

link

However i think it could use a few more features:

1 - the ability to change color of the cpu load meter bar (the "iconcpuutil" type) - it would allow to integrate it more seamlessly into custom color-based themes.

2 - Implementing a new object type - a progressbar meter that could be used to show free memory, cpu load, signal strength and other values outputted as text in precents now.

3 - enabling the registry tracher to show different icon if tracked value is zero, and other if its nonzero - missed calls/sms/mms/e-mail notifications would be much more readable if they had a darker icon when there are no new items, and a bright one if there is something requiring attention.

I also have the same problem as Andreal posted a few pages back:

My phone is MDA Vario running an official polish WM5

Anyway, thanks for all the work you've put into it, Ikarus :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] robfud:
few ideas for next version

1. today screen commands for media player - i.e. TCPMP

2. include tweaks in options like i.e. hermes tweaks or advancedconfig

3. option to show battery status like batti (thin line in the top of screen)

I have noticed when I am overclock to 273MHz my camera, the colors are messed up like 256 colors are used. When I switch back to 195MHz it is all OK.

It there a solution to this, like an exception list to put apps on which arn't able to handle higher speeds?

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
I haven't tested it yet, but in case you're using the default-theme

-> then change the indicator-view so that the sd-card and data-memory is not shown, that is the 2nd view.

-> wait a second

-> try enabling wmstorage.

does it work?

i guess there is an active system-notification for sd-card which prevents wmstorage from working, but changing the view should release that notification.

Notification is much better than polling. i guess sd-card needs battery for the controller and it doesn't make sense to poll the sd-card each second..

Only hide the row does not work yet, but will in the next build..

FYI, I use BS with WM5torage without a glitch, and I do NOT display SD card space left.

Does it work on E-Ten X800?

Hello,

I installed BatteryStatus b261 on my X800 but it seems there is no support for CPU scaling and overclocking.

It doesn't even show the feature in the interface.

Worked on my old Qyek S200 though...

Any idea?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] philipbcook:
Lock a row

Hi Ikarus,

BS just gets better and better.

Would anyone, like me, find it useful to be able to 'lock' a row so that it always displays and cannot be hidden by tapping the left icon of the row above.

I always leave my row 1 and row 2 displaying, and would like to prevent them being accidentally dismissed.

Something in the theme XML I guess e.g. <Row Display="1">

Display = "0" for current behaviour

Display = "1" for 'locked behaviour

or

Display = "normal"

Display = "locked"

or similar.

I would also like a fuller explanation of how align="right" is meant to work along with width=

I want to have two elements to lie right aligned alongside one another.

The first should be aligned to the right edge of the screen and the next immediately to the left of the first. How do I do that ?

Also, if I use align="right" it would be useful to have a right= parameter to determine what position to right align to. Not specifying right= should default to the RHS of the screen for the first right aligned element and to the leftmost edge of any earlier right aligned element on the same row.

regards ..

Philip

build 0262 - 12/09/2007

:

- added: attribute to prevent automatic adaptation to width, e.g. <View adaptwidth="0" /> (1 = default)

- changed: improved leaving of options

- fixed: crashes when reloading theme with class="clock"

- some minor bugs fixed

always glad to hear this :)

looks cool hehe

Would you mind update to the themes-thread?

I've noticed them to think about.

for point 3, i'm about to implement something, but the concept has changed and i have to test it well at first.

You can then specify an image like this:

<image src="bluetooth%d.png"...>

the image-name will then be substituted with the value of registry (dword/string), e.g. to bluetooth0.png bluetooth1.png and so on..

if the image can't be found then bluetooth-1.png/bluetooth_default.png will be used..

It's still inwork.. maybe there are improvements for this suggestion?

With the current concept you have following benefit:

- a notification and its reading is unique

--> that is even if you specify a reading for the SAME registry-value multiple times -> only one notification updates these values, because you need only one notification for

Furthermore all these readings refers to the same memoy-buffer because it's the same value (of course only if format is the same), which saves memory for that...

It is similar to static-members of a class

The new concept is a little different in that the reading is sometimes not unique, but i guess you will not notice that..

yes

seems so ;)

no

yes, lock rows will come.

Haven't had enough time yet..

I've written anything necessary to the manual.

consider the following sketch from online-manual:

As you may see the label-tag corresponds to the label-box in the item and the label is aligned to the left. (Bear in mind that there is an image-box and a label-box, but you can place them where you want with left/top/absolute).

If you align the text to the right, then the text is aligned to the right of that box, which has a defined width.

I hope that helps to place the items..

hm... my brain is absolutely empty somehow hehe..

it was a hard work day..

Could you explain with a sketch or some drawings?

Great !!

I will update the themes from this thread to the new thread as soon as possible.

In case your theme is on the first page of this thread --> Please update them to the new thread, because then you can update the post by yourself if there is a new version..

You must modify your theme.

there is a default-clock-theme by Nostramo!

set the type to 5. search this thread for how to do it.

the plugin must be loaded for this to work. If it's not loaded, then nothing is initialized and setting of cpuspeed fails.

you can use gif (with transparent="...") too

you can use jpeg too hehe

disable cpu-utilization. see online-manual for instructions how to do it. you must set interval to 0.

great theme!!

you could update it to the themes-thread hehe
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] utak3r:

Support for X800

Hello Chi-tai,

That was a rather short answer to my question. So as I understand there is no support for CPU scaling in X800.

Is it planned in the future?

This was the main purpose of this utility for me so I'd like to know.

Thank you:)

Problems with Device Lock

Hello!

first of all i have to thank the author of this great software. Its very nice :D I like it!

But there is a little bug, maybe only on my xda trion.

I'm using the latest build 0262 on a xda trion (HTC Hermes 100) with WM6.

I have enabled the "DeviceLock" icon in the Tray. If i tab on it the xda locks quite after a few seconds. All seems okay until i want to unlock it again.

When i tab on the unlock button in the lower left of the display the display locks fully and i'm not able to tab on the unlock button in the middle of the screen. No key is working anymore. Nothing. :-( Only a reset is working.

I don't know what is wrong. Does someone have an idea how to fix this?

Battery Usage

Hi ikarus,

I must say that this is the best today screen i ever use. Sorry for not go through 300+ reply, I dont know anyone notice that using BS as a standard today screen plugin is a way to save battery consumption on my Kaiser. Comparing to HTC Home, I strongly recommend using BS. Hope more themes can be created here.:)

tinkering with it now :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] KOCTA:
ikarus, at last the AppLauncher become useful ;) I couldn't find the theme file with previous version.

I have a couple of questions/suggestions:

1. It will be good to fill "Title" field in the editor, when the application file is chosen. Fill it with file name without extension. It can be done after pressing Add or Update, bit to my mind to fill it right after choosing an application will be better.

Or, as alternative, put a checkbox to decide, leave the "Title" field ad App# or fill it with an application filename.

2. Alas, AppLauncher doesn't load applications list from theme file. It loads the list only from ctAppLauncher.xml :( So I have to edit the application list in theme using external editor

3. What menu "Action | Remove Launcher" does?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your great work! I've dropped out many of today plugins ang programs, because BatteryStatus replaced them.

It seem that BS is the problem :\. After quitting it wm5torage works fine.

I tried few things:

1. turning off BS

2. activating WM5torage

3. turning on BS - SD indicator shows nothing (--.-)

4. from this time I can activate and deactivate wm5storage without any problems (until first soft reset :) ) - SD indicator works fine.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Herunim:
Hi ikarus,

- How do you add the class="start_app" in the class "date" or the class "cpu_utilization" ?

I tried <Item class="date" ontap="\Windows\Calendar.exe" > but it doesn't work.

- How do change the icons for class="battery_ac_icons" ?

- Sorry to ask : where can I find the manual with all the tags ?

- Something strange : if the view with the CPU load is not active, the CPU load is not displayed in the taskbar. If the view is active and BS is minimized, the CPU load is still displayed in the taskbar.

- I believe the skin setup should override the option setup : if the option is set, the CPU frequency is bold, even with :

<Item class="cpuspeed" >

<label fontfamily="Tahoma" fontsize="12" bold="0" />

</Item>

- When trying to display the CPU utilization below the icon, using :

<Item class="cpu_utilization" ontap="CtlPnl" index="4" subindex="2" >

<image src="CPU.png" width="12" top="2" left="10" />

<label fontfamily="Tahoma" fontsize="12" width="40" top="7" left="-25" align="center" />

</Item>

Only the label area below the icon is refreshed (12 pixels) instead of the whole area (40 pixels).

Thanks again for this great apps.

Kind regards,

Herunim
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
accepted ;)

it's by design, because you can make AppLaunchers in various ways.. and i don't want to mess up the content of themes..

so the idea is to configure applauncher using the external app and with ctAppLauncher.xml you can restore the launcher for any new theme again..

It removes the launcher injected by AppLauncher.

Hello Herunim,

do you mind moving your post to the new thread for themes and questions about themes?

I will reply there, because if i reply to your questions here, then no one will read it again afterwards which leads to the same things get asked again and again and again...

I've just tested it with wm5torage 1.78beta2 and it works without any problems while having sd-card-indicator active all the time.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] rudey:
sorry to be noobish :(

will this work on o2 orbit aka artemis?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
yes. see online-manual for advanced version

Yes it is. I already did some experiments and have code for doing this, but i need more time...

The main problem is with roms which don't use the prophet drivers. There is a high delay for notifications of batterydriver which are concurrent to registry notifications... leads to race conditions.

There are a lot of situations to consider, when switching on the device, plug in the ac-adapter or plug in the usb-cable, when activesync-connection is established and so on..

If there is a chance that power-notification overrides the activesync-notification or vice-versa leading to an inconsistend state, then it's not recommended to enable what you want. Believe me.. it's better hehe

You could implement something similar and you'll see the instability..

Actually there is and i'm looking for a solution, but as you may know i don't have much time. It's better to spend the available time on improving the xml-customization.. i guess hehe

no problem. I guess it is.

In case there is a bug related only to artemis, then i've the chance to debug with the artemis of my brother.

But as far as i know there are no problems..

Nevertheless you may try it with Safemode-applications at first, because i don't know what programs you're using too..

I've upgraded from a Wizard to a Tilt. When I was running on the Wizard, I used BatteryStatus to show the clock speed and cpu percentage with the TaskBar Indicator setting (I had OMAP Overclocking and CPU Scaling enabled).

Now on the Tilt (Kaiser) I realize CPU Overclocking isn't there since this isn't an OMAP processor, but was disappointed that when I turned on the TaskBar indicator, all I see is the CPU speed (which never changes of course). Is it possible to setup the TaskBar indicator for non-OMAP devices so that we can show cpu percentage and not the cpu speed? I really miss my cpu percentage indicator as that helped me debug some things (processes that take off in a loop or somesuch).

Thanks for this great app!

Hi Guys,

I found this great tool yet and did install it on my touch. I just have one question. How can I check if the cpuscaler works? I did underclock the cpu to 143MHz and actived the cpu scaler (max 299). On the today screen there stays alwas 143MHz. That should change or?

Thank you very much
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mr_deimos:
The CPU scaler overrides the manual CPU overclocking. Its function is to set device clock dynamically - when the CPU usage is low, then CPU speed is set to lowest - 143MHz in your case. If the CPU load increases for a certain time, the clock speed gets increased. Try launching some CPU-intensive application (like a video player playing movie) with CPU scaler and taskbar indicator (it will show your current CPU load and speed on the lower right portion of the taskbar) enabled to see what i mean. After a while of playback the CPU speed will start rising.

If you want lower minimal speed, then go to batteryStatus options/CPU Scaler and set minimal value you want. I don't know about Touch, but on my Wizard setting speed below certain level causes the screen to flicker, so you might want to experiment how low you can go without loosing picture quality.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
yes it's reasonable hehe

Edit:

i will add it in one of the next builds, but not before next year.

You can enable the cpu-utilization for taskbar if you have that reading on today-screen.

could you send me your reg-settings or at least let us know something about your settings?

e.g. your theme?

It can be handled by inverting the exclude-list. Just inverting the result of an evaluation-function.

I will think about and let you know..

thanks for the settings. At first glance it is working. Have you read the manual in order to interpret the readings?

rltoday is definately a great program :)

hm.. you could have several class="space" with ontap="StartApp" and path="...\setvolume.exe ::1"..

where setvolume.exe is a program which sets the volume, this way you can build one volume-slider consisting of 8-9 space-classes which sets different volumes..

There is no action, which does this yet. But it's not a problem to write small program for doing this job.

yes, good idea ;)

no problem. my english isn't good too hehe

you could use registry-tracker with one of the values mentioned at http://rotlaus-software.de/wiki/rltoday/registry_samples?DokuWiki=57d827cf53244c5566ef2fc88da81785

e.g. Active Tasks = HKEY_CURRENT_USER \System\State\Tasks\Active

Does it work?

btw. the new registry-tracker will be finished soon.

Just an idea..

You could use registry-tracker to build a weather-plugin, which updates the images when values in registry changes (using an external update tool).

e.g. sunshine=1, cloudy=2, ...

and so on...

should be able with the new concept.
