Yes it works!!! Great!!! Thank You!

*Im soooo happy*

But now I have a new problem. I wandt to start tasks.exe from the windows-folder when I tap active Tasks...

But it doesnt start...?!

What is wrong?

<Item class="registry_tracker" onTap="StartApp" path="\Windows\tasks.exe" >

<label text="%d aktive Aufgaben" fontsize="20" left="-190" top="5" width="35" > <--Sorry... german ;-) - in english: "%d active Tasks"

<registry key_value="HKCU\System\State\Tasks\Active" />

</label>

</Item>

Can You help me again please?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
no problem hehe

you may change "onTap" to "ontap", because xml is case sensitive.

btw. the online-validator tells you if you've written something wrong or made a syntax-error..

hm... this information should be in the themes-thread somehow hehe..

im just need the battery status with percentage (%) display, which one the best battery status?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dendirk:
is this for a smartphone also?

hi , im having a HTC S710 (with omap) can i use this very cool plugin on my device?

thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Specktäter:
Hmm... Thanks - I´ve done this. But BS takes a different tap-Field to open the tasks.exe...

See here:

It takes the red marked Field to open the tasks. When I tap onto the Tasks it switches to my View 1.

Is there something wrong anyway? (I Have the same code like before - with ontap instead of onTap.)

With friendly Greetings

Stupid idea......
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mr_deimos:
And why would you say that? :confused:

It's not like this plugin will burn your device if it's not compatible... Probably the worst thing that can happen is that it won't load, unless you start playing with overclocking and enable overclock on wakeup - that CAN cause problems. Otherwise, after a soft reset the CPU clock will be set to standard.

@ikarus

Since I last feedback to you about Flame, I have been just upgrading your every release just by copy the newer files until only recently I realised in 263, all the Flame problem is gone.

Thanks for fixing the problems. My BT / Wifi on/off is working now. :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Genesis3:
Be aware that on my device using the CPUScaler function, even conservatively (e.g. 216Mhz) leads to corrupted FLASH!

That is, you're forked and need to hard reset. I suspect something is going wrong in timing with flash writes and the bad news is that it hits the registry and screws you hard.

Once it occurs you're dead - the CPU will lock at 100%.

This occurs both on a cooked WM6 ROM and also on the original T-Mobile "official" 2.2.6 WM5 release, so its NOT the ROM I'm running.

Not using the Scaler function avoids the problem.... something odd is going on with that.... might want to look into it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Specktäter:

T-Mobile Wing

I was just wondering if it will work on a T-Mobile Wing.? I have downloaded it and have it applied it to my phone but I am being cautious before changing the processor from 201mhz to 247mhz. I havent seen any posts from anybody with the T-Mo Wing. I know it has the omap from T.I. so it should work , just wondering about stability, if there is anyone who can let me know about this I would greatly appreciate it. TY
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] markdam:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
build 0264 - 22/12/2007

:

- fixed: png allowed for battery_ac_icons

- removed: version-attribute from Window, version < 1 not supported any longer

- added: <Window ... custombg="0" > for using default-system-theme-background

- added: for RegistryTracker,

<image src="filename%d.png"...> respectively <image src="filename%s.ext"...>

for using images depending on registry-value

if a value is not covered by an image, then filename-1.ext (dword) or filename_empty.ext (string) will be used

- added: Mask to apply to registry-value (dword)

e.g. <label text="%d" mask="0xFF" >...

NEW REGISTRY-TRACKER supporting images depending on registry-value!!

...BETA...

Hello CWKJ, great :)

I know i wanted to contact you for some tests, but haven't had time yet. I guess it's obsolete now hehe

hm.. strange.. afaik it's working without problems on wizards.

Am i wrong? Maybe your flashmemroy has a problem?

we need at least your xml. The image-files would be helpful too.

You should give us a chance to reproduce it exactly with your theme.

btw. do you mind moving this to the new thread for themes and questions?

@ikarus

One more feedback on 263 (I know you have 264 now).

Previously long ago version (cannot remember) on Flame, was unable to turn on/off Wifi and BT, now its ok in my previous feedback, but Setting them still a problem or doesnt activate Setting at all.

Device Lock & Display off was not working long ago and is only working now only 1 time and afterwhich the Flame just hang. Only button working is the Power button.

Minor issues as I do not really used the above mentioned features. The rest of the functionality is really useful.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
great :)

yes. i guess, the control-panel-applet for wlan is quite different from other htc-phones, which makes it difficult to make it work for xda flame.

I'm not sure whether this helps, but if you're using devicelock with WM6 and having a password-lock set, then there may be problems.

One of the problem is when you have the registry-option DeviceLockOnWakeup set to 1.. this will definatelly result in a black screen when the device wake up. (it's like device is freezed with black screen)

Setting this registry-option to 0 will solve the problem.

I don't have time for investigating this problem, but i will soon.. i hope..

The Koran-ROM seems really clean and seems to best fit my needs, so i will give WM6 a try soon hehe

btw...

I had an idea yesterday for the app-launcher and implemented a small testprogram.

It's the attachement of this post. Anyone using the app-launcher may try it and give some feedback?

Just copy that to the device and start it with file-browser. It creates an iphone-alike effect.

CallTimes: Round Counter

First and foremost, kudos to ikarus for this great add-on. Been using it only for about a couple of weeks but I do love the way it's able to present pertinent information on such a small real estate.

I do have a question though regarding CallTimes. I noticed that the round counter only applies for incoming calls. Any plans on applying the same functionality for outgoing calls?

Thanks!

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mr_deimos:
Hi, Ikarus. I've got a question concerning BS taskSwitcher: I noticed that its icons can be customized by adding additional images to theme folder, but they can only be in .bmp format. are there any plans on supporting .png images as well? Bmp's look rather ugly with their 1 bit transparency...

[EDIT]

One more thing: what are the names of bitmaps currently used by BS taskSwitcher and context menu? I know about bmpsettings.bmp, bmpclose.bmp, bmpcheck.bmp, rotate.bmp and today.bmp. What files will override default "close all" and "reboot" images?

[/EDIT]
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] philipbcook:
start_app problem with your demo xml

Hi Ikarus, Happy Christmas & New Year,

I have been trying the example code that you supplied as a demo of start_app.

I have a problem with the fourth view. Despite itemselect = "1" whenever I tap on an item, it behaves as if I have clicked on the entire line, by switching to View 1. It does not launch any of the applications regardless of tapping the icon or the text underneath the icon.

View 1, 2 & 3 work fine.

If I use the scroll wheel then I do get itemselect to work correctly.

I am using build 0261 on an xda Orbit (HTC Artemis P3300)

regards ..

Philip
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
I would be glad about a donation :D

There is a license-system in test, but far from being useable. The crypto-part within BS seems working without problems so far.

Hello hamizan, i guess there are already applications for this job. Are there?

yes in one of the next builds, the round-settings will be applied to incoming calls too.

i can change them to png, so you can supply pngs. Would that be enough?

thanks, same wishes to you hehe

yes, there is an issue with z-ordering.

The example was working when i've released start_app-class, but logic has changed since then.

There will be a semi-automatic way combined with methods to influence it, but design is not finished yet.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mr_deimos:
If by that you mean that the program will be able to read custom PNG's (including alpha channel), therefore allowing custom taskswitcher skinning - that would be just great :)

By the way, i noticed that taskswitcher icon sizes work a bit odd:

for example the options icon is displayed as 16x16, but if you create an image called bmpsettings.bmp with 16x16 size, it will be displayed as scaled down by half. So to have a 16x16 button displayed in taskswithcer, you need to supply a 32x32 bmp, which will get scaled down to be displayed (and its quality will degrade in the process). So to make the image displayed exactly the way i want, i have to create a 16x16 image, then scale it up to 32x32 using nearest neighbor algorithm (pixel doubling). The same happens with today and close button images, and bmpcheck image (green circle with a check mark shown next to active row/option in BS context menu), but the rotate screen button is 16x16size as well, and uses 16x16 - no scaling here.

Could you look into that when you get around to implementing png support - it's always the best to display the images as they were drawn, since usually there is some quality loss involved in the scaling process.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] drpiety:
Hi Ikarus,

great app, nice little tool.

I have installed BS Build 0265 on my Orbit2/Touch cruise.

BS interferes with the Touch Cube. Every time BS refreshes it closes down the cube. You can keep running the cube if you remove BS from the home screen so its quite reproducable.

I also encounter sudden softresets, one or two per day, although I dont think they are related to BS.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] drpiety:
Have to add something here that could be related to BS: When charging my device overnight I am unable to start it up. the option "DeviceLock on Wakeup" has never been enabled.

I will uninstall BS and check back to report if any of this has to do with the Beta of BS.

Peter
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] drpiety:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] GentleMan:
Hi,

Maybe not related to BatteryStatus.

Have a look at post #4 in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=338421&highlight=fake+server+activesync+settings and try it out.

Cheers
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] me:
This is a great app! Thanks a lot, Ikarus!

Perhaps you should change its name. You probably initially planned the plugin primarily as a way to show battery status, but now it has been expanded to do much more. (How about--"Ultimate Today Plug-in"?) (Also, if one uses the initials of "Battery Status", it is BS, which in English doesn't have a very good connotation. ;-) )

At first I didn't think I would use the TrayLaunch applet, because I already have a Today plugin launcher (SPB Plus). But on trying out your launcher, I liked it so much, that I installed as many app-launchers as I could in your one line Tray Launch, and deleted those launch icons from SPB Plus, so as not to duplicate them in two plugins. I cannot eliminate SPB Plus, however (I only use it for its Today plugin-launcher), because yours only allows one line of launch icons, and I have more apps that I want to be able to launch from the today screen.

Is there a way to configure your TrayLaunch to allow more than one line of launch icons? If so, please tell me how. If not, that is a suggestion I would make for a future build.

My Wizard (T-Mobile USA MDA) is extremely slow. (Using the latest official T-Mobile ROM, WM5. I haven't yet tried one of the "cooked" ROMs.) I tried setting the overclock in BS to 240. (I have not tried the scaling function.) No problems with that so far, but I haven't noticed much improvement at that speed. Still painfully slow, still takes forever to load the \Windows folder in Resco Explorer, for example. Is it advisable to try higher speeds that that? Or could speeds higher than 240 damage the Wizard? (If one used Omapclockplus to set the clock rather than BS, would there be any advantage in that? Or, do both do the same thing?)

Anyhow, thanks for the great app! :-)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Keithj:
I'm not sure what caused it, but BatteryStatus started misbehaving a few hours after I installed it.

First, it showed the phone still connected to O2 when I was out of range - the "antenna" icon on the phone was doing its dancing dots, and there was certainly no signal. I thought this might be because it hadn't "refreshed", so I left it for 15 minutes. Nothing changed. From memory, I had refresh set at 1 minute - certainly no longer.

Then, the second and third lines of BS icons on the Today screen disappeared and wouldn't return. I was tapping on the left-hand icon on the first line (the one with battery, Operator, and CPU speed) which previously would toggle the next row on and off. Not any more.

The "manager" program wouldn't start. It would highlight if I tapped on it, but go no further.

The device became very slow. It's running on an O2 XDA Orbit, with WM5.

Then I tried to uninstall BatteryStatus, and it froze in the "Remove" screen.

I left it for 15 minutes or so (still frozen), then did a soft reset. BatteryStatus was still there, with the same problems, but this time the "Uninstall" routine worked OK.

I've left it off the XDA for the moment, but it does some things I'm keen to have. Do I have a "buggy" copy? It's BatteryStatus.0.04.cab, 63241 bytes, dated 29/12/2007 at 16:27 (which I suspect is when I downloaded it).

Should I try a different version? Is the glitch above a known issue?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
yes. exactly that..

it's because i didn't know that there's a need for customize the images.

I will make all taskmanager-images default to vga, that is you have to supply vga-images (32x32).

The images will be downsscaled only once, so no wasting of resources at runtime.

Maybe there will be a solution to provide either qvga- or vga-images, e.g. image.png (vga) or image.5.png (qvga -> vga(dim)*0.5).. but don't know yet..

Hi drpiety,

i can't afford an orbit 2, but if it's reproduceable only with BS, then we could try looking for the cause.

Are there more users having this problem? If it's reproduceable on other devices too, then let me know.

btw. if you're using the advanced version, then attach your exported registry settings (in one of the tabs of options) for such a report.

in work hehe

what do you mean by TrayLaunch?

Is it an application-launcher on today-screen or the application-launcher using the TrayIcons at the very bottom of screen?

The app-launcher customizeable with AppLauchner.exe will have an option to specify amount of lines in future.

The TrayIcons can't be extended to 2 lines afaik, but let me know if you're aware of methods to do so..

hm... it's late but let's have some words about this topic..

Getting a filelist of \Windows folder depends on many aspects.

The most impacting one is the mean access-speed of the flash-memory, which can't be improved much.

--> What you're benchmarking isn't the cpu-performance but the performance of flash-memory.

Overclocking helps a little, but the more files you've in the folder, the longer it takes. Furthermore the type of files within the folder can influence speed too, because thumbnails have to be created/loaded and so on...

A rom can be very slow (but don't have to) in case there're a lot system-apps installed, e.g. if there're apps adding items to context-menu (e.g. bluetooth), then each time you open a context-menu in file-explorer the code for the context-menu-item has to be executed and mostly ends up in not showing something or so --> executing code for nothing

.. i've worked on improving such things in the company hehe

What i want to say is --> maybe try a better rom?

Quality and a good testing system is very important, but most of the users don't want to pay for it, so companies... complete this sentence by yourself hehe

hm.. in principle it's the same, but i don't know for sure... you may try it and report back?

Hello Keithj, thanks for reporting.

Actually there are not reports for 0.04 version, so there's no issue..

I could send you a debug-version if you want to help.

Send me your email-adress by pm if you're interested.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] drpiety:

I guess you can reproduce it with any Touchflo Phone.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] drpiety:
I narrowed it down to Bandswitch that can alsobe found here at devs. BandSwitch is turning off and on the GSM again to switch between GPRS and UMTS.Activesync allways on seems to dislike it and makes the softreset. Turning off AUTO mode made the softresets go away so its not related to Battery status

CPUScalar

I have just started using BatteryStatus. I've seen mention of CPUScalar and clocking the camera correctly. However in my search of this thread, I have not found the information to where in the application settings to address CPUScalar and the camera. Sure, I've overlooked it, but could you help a guy out?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] HKXDragon:
you know, there's a manual which exactly describes what you want ;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mr_deimos:
I've tried it a while ago, but completely forgot to post my feedback, so here it is:

This program has some potential, but i think that it can look way better. Right now effect's speed is constant, it seems that it's done according to equation:

size_in_next_frame = size_in_previous_frame - delta

where delta is a constant step. So first images width is 240, then 210, then 200, and so on.

How about making it scale down according to this equation:

size_in_next_frame = size_in_previous_frame - (frame_number * multiplier)

where :

multiplier > 0

This way, scaling would accelerate, making the movement a bit more natural, eg. for multiplier=2, sizes in a row of frames would be:

240, 236, 228, 216, 200, 180, 156... - with each frame size would decrease more. Of course multiplier of 4 would be way too big to even notice the animation, but using 1, or even 0.5 should look really cool.

Also, it seems that you resize the picture by substracting the same number from both height and width, ending up with changing picture aspect ratio. Personally, i think that keeping original ratio would be better (resize by multiplying both sides by the same number, rather than substracting it).

Over/Underclocking Not Working - Title Issue ??

Hi,

I currently swapped from WM5 on my Qtek S200 to WM6 Prophet ShadoW 1.0 (Touch Edition).

Under WM5 all was well with BS and it functioned 100% to my satisfaction - its a great app!!

Under WM6 Prophet ShadoW 1.0 (Touch Edition) with WKTask I've noticed a slight issue.

I use Mobipocket Reader and underclock it to 130mhz whilst I am reading. If you set application underclocking based on Mobipocket Reader and then open a book underclocking no longer works. If you set underclocking on Booktitle - Mobipocket Reader it only working until Mobipocket Reader is closed. The only way to get it back working again is to respecify underclocking for the app inside BS.

Anyone got a fix or experienced the same issue ?? My colleague also has the same issue with the same config of machine.

Thanks for a great app - keep up the good work.
