New features

Awesome tool, ikarus. Long time user, but just now customizing my theme and I'm amazed at the power. Have 2 suggestions to make your great tool even better.

Add a name attribute to rows for a user-defined row description to display in the context menu. Should be simple to implement and much easier to find a row than the non-descript "Row n".

Better alignment options and/or percentage widths. The problem I'm trying to solve is how to center, right-justify, and/or scale when switching from portrait/landscape or when the scrollbar shrinks the client area slightly. As a programmer myself, I've been thinking about this one a lot and what would be easiest to code but still powerful. Here's my idea: instead of assuming the "start-pos" of the absolute attribute is always 0, let the user set the starting position based on a percentage of the total width. For example, assuming a second attribute absolutepos to set the percentage:

[I]<!-- Examples for possible new feature -->
<!-- Left Justify -->[/I]
<Item class="date" absolute="1" [B]absolutepos="0%"[/B]>
<label [B]left="0"[/B] width="60">
</Item>[I]
<!-- Center -->[/I]
<Item class="date" absolute="1" [B]absolutepos="50%"[/B]>
<label [B]left="-30"[/B] width="60">
</Item>
[I]<!-- Right Justify -->
[/I]<Item class="date" absolute="1" [B]absolutepos="100%"[/B]>
<label [B]left="-60"[/B] width="60">
</Item>

Note that using left with absolutepos allows the user to perfectly center or right-justify items. (Even better would include the align attribute, but wanted to keep the example simple.) I'd really like to specify widths as percentages, too, but this absolute percentage would provide almost the same functionality.

What to you think, ikarus? Possible? How about the rest of the BatteryStatus users? Is this something other users want?

CPU Scaler doesn't seem to work....

Hi all

Hopefully Ikarus or somebody can help me.

Nice util, it works fine, I can clock up to 273mhz on my XDA Orbit 208mhz OMAP850, and application mode works fine, very helpful with tomtom 6.

However, tried various settings, I can't seem to get CPU scaler working, which is a shame as it would save me charging my battery twice a day ! (just bought it and i'm glued to it all day)

I set min. to about 149mhz, orginal to 208mhz, and max. to 260 and 273mhz.

It doesn't change from whatever speed it is set to (even after tapping the cpu speed on the today screen).

Any suggestions? :D

PS sorry I had a skim thru these pages, but there are over three hundred, I may well have missed something !!!

PPS I'm running factory WM6 on 02 orbit
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mr_deimos:
Manually setting speed (like selecting CPU clock form BS context menu) disables CPU scaller. Try doing the following:

In BS options, make sure that CPU speed indicator is shown, and that application-based overclocking is disabled (it will probably override scaller setting - this may be your problem).

Open up the BS context menu, enable TaskBar indicator (you should now see CPU speed and CPU usage on the right side of your taskbar).

Open up the context menu again and enable CPU scaller.

Nopw try leaving the device alone for some time (20-30 seconds should be enough) without any program running so that CPU usage is low (like 15%), the device should get underclocked. You can see if it gets overclocked by launching some CPU-intensive application like a movie and watching the taskbar indicator.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] greenleef:
Thanks, all working now. I think the problem was not APP mode, but as you suggested, I was clicking on the CPu speed on the right, hence turning off cpu scaler.

Well, I don´t want to read over 313 pages before I start with a question:

Is there a way to get to rows into one?

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dan_ru:
Possible a bug with BS Task Manager

Hi ikarus!

BS won't complitly close aplication "Word Mobile".

Step to reproduse:

1) Start "Word Mobile" and open any document.

2) Tap on "OK" for close document. (Now we see list of documents.)

3) Tap on "X". ("Word Mobile" become minimized, and visible in Tasl List)

Task manager is enabled to close by tap and long tap. "Word Mobile" not in exlude list.

Build of BS is 265.

PDA: HTC P3300 (WM6).
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
It isn't possible.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] BennTech:
Actually, it is technically possible. Modify your XML config file (see BatteryStatus Customization) like this:

Create a row with height = height of row 1 + height of row 2.

Add all the items for row 1 with top = 0 and height = height of row 1.

Add all the items for row 2 with top = height of row 1 and height = height of row 2.

For first item of row 2, add absolute = 1, 2, or 3 depending on its content (see absolute explanation) and set left = 0.

I haven't done this exactly, but I've done things like it to put one item directly below another.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
Just now, there is no way to put the status of the battery to the tray. That's what I wanted to say.

Hi,

problem with bs (i use the beta v.1.04.203, no theme) and the new xda orbit 2, when bs is set as today plugin, i open the cube, go to the next page of the cube, then cube is closing itself. Ups, restart cube go to next page, the same...... it does´nt matter if i go left or right.

When i remove only the plugin from the today screen (not the program) in the settings, then no problem, when i put it back to today screen, cube is closing.

nice tool, but without cube :(

cu

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] s0149707:
I have also the Orbit 2 and beta v.1.04.203, no theme.

Same problem with my Cube. You can solve the problem if you change the settings for the "task manager" under "Tools". No check marker there. Than the Cube is working.

Not a solution forever, hope there is a new version coming.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
I'm sorry for late response, but i'm busy with master-thesis..

The next build will come, but i can't tell when..

Hello mr_deimos,

thanks for your suggestion. sounds really interesting. I have learned a lot about and actually i'm interested in realistic animation algorithms and eagerly looking forward to do some experiments hehe

so that's some fun for me if i have time for.. as soon as i have some time i will try your suggestion too ;)

but it is my belief that such animations should be supported and handled by os-level, where you can implement much deeper and interesting things..

i've thought about such an addition...

This will not solve your problem with landscape/portrait-mode, because the coordinates (x,y) are calculated at parse-time and then fixed for run-time.

There might be a method for dynamic-calculation, but for such a support --> i need more time to redesign something.

hm.. it is working with WM5.

I will upgrade to konrads-rom as soon as i've put in my master-thesis.

Maybe i can reproduce it.

there will be an update which works better for interpreting z-ordering.

wonderful hint ;)

I can't afford an Orbit 2, so there has not been really useful information but "it doesn't work" up to this post.

Anyone who can confirm this?

If yes, then i may look through the taskmanager-code this weekend.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] BennTech:
Hmmmm...yeah, that's a little more involved than I thought. I figured it was dynamically calculated because the last item automatically contracts when the scroll bar appears.

Well, I'd really like the addition, but I know there's a lot on your plate. Thanks for taking time to reply. And again, thanks for the great app!

Appointments Start and End Time in Today screen

hi,

at first: I love BatteryStatus!

I have successfully removed the separator lines in my today screen by editing the xml config file. After some trials & errors I have added my appointments to the BS plug-in so that they are shown (as well without that damn separator line of WM6).

This works very well! Subject and Location are shown correctly, but I cannot display start and end time. They are hex values in registry and I do not see how to read them using "registry_tracker". I found the keys in registry but what do I have to write into the xml config to read hex values????? And they must be formatted as time, for example: "00:00" 24 hour, no AM or PM

Can someone help? I have installed BS "v.1.04.203" on my MDA Pro (WM6) aka QTEK 9000 etc...

Thanks in advance!

build 0266 - 21/01/2008

:

- fixed: compatibility with cube on htc polaris (many thanks to Harry :) )

- added: height-attribute for label-Node (for a more precise positioning and frame of label-box)

- added: rowtoggle-attribute for Row-Node (0=don't toggle next row, 1=toggle next row)

- added: for Context-Menu, Lock Rows (Show Rows) to lock visibility of rows

- added: name-attribute for Row-Tag to supply a name in Context-Menu (Show Rows)

- added: registry-tracker accepts also label without text-attribute (for showing image only)

- added: registry-tracker registry-node outside of label-Node,

e.g.

<Item class="registry_tracker" >
<image src="image%s.png" />
<registry key_value="...." />
</Item>

- added: registry-tracker suppress0-attribute to show no label when dword-value is zero

registry_tracker supports only dword/string by now..

change the top-attribute in xml for that digit..

great :)

The language-support will change from an compiled dll to a unicode-text-file, where the content can be modified with an editor.. but don't know when..

i don't know. the best you can do is writing a program which stores such values into the registry.

Such traffic goes through a serial connection and this is not supported. In principle it can be done, but i guess it isn't a very common usage.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] papamopps:
changing the topatribut isn´t working. because it is only 1 digit!! and then both digits on screen are changed...

perhaps it is because of the 24hours format. and adding another digit causes me to get 3!! digits in front of seperator....

so i have

digit

seperator

digit

digit

separator

digit

digit

that´s the problem....

CPU Usage

Hey Ikarus,

Just finished upgrading to version 266. Because i had some strange battery drain problem (which probably has nothing to do with BS) i started monitoring Cpu Usage.

But there seems to be a difference between what BS reports and Taskmanager 2.7. BS always shows around 10% when no programs are active. Taskmanager 2.7 doesnt show any CPU activity. At least not the 10%. Because i know i didn't see this a while ago i went back to 265, but there is no difference. The CPU usage indicator which is under the clock also shows about 10% more CPU usage in comparison with Taskmanager 2.7.

Any thoughts?

Rgds,

Hellsblade
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Could you move this question into the BS-Theme thread?

Please attach your xml too.

great :)

you can upgrade directly.

You should not upgrade while ActiveSync is connected.

Try disabling any of your today-plugins but BS to show the cpu-utilization. Then the cpu-usage should show 3-4%..

today-plugins are using cpu-time too when visible.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] papamopps:

Has anybody noticed some slight flickering on the Today screen and KeyPad screen?

It only happens sometimes and this is with OverClocking turned ON or OFF. When I quit BatteryStatus, no more flicker. I'm using the latest build 0266.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Hellsblade:
Ok, tried that but the result is not what i/we hoped for. I deactivated all today plugins but BS and even with only one line active the CPU usage is still showing 9%. I attached 2 screenshots to show you the effect. Taskmanager itself takes the most cpu when active, but i think the screenshots speak for themselves. The only change i tried before noticing this with BS was trying out the BS_DeimosClockRamMod. But I went back to the BSClockTheme because the seconds function is using unnecessary CPU a 3 to 4 % increase (In fact that started the ball rolling).
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
oh, i c..

you're using both at the same time..

hehe.. i don't have enough time to explain the details about your observation, but in short: measuring the cpu-usage uses integration over a discrete time-intervall where two measuring-instances/processes overlapp in time-intervall for sure..

and i guess taskmanager uses a method based on thread-idle-times which is not how BS measures cpu-usage.

there is more to say, but i've to get back to work a bit..

The best you can do is to consider the time-derivative or the quantitative difference between scenarios with different application-sets.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hamizan:
To save artemis' poor system resource for better performance and stability, BS has become indispensable to me to replace any other software as taskmanager, pbar, X-button, launch tray well as the application you mentioned.

traylaunch at the top of homescreen

Hey guys,

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dan_ru:
Hello Ikarus

1)

Maybe is was my local trouble. I flash new ROM on my device and problem has gone.

2) In row with single view <item .... ontap=""> clears default item action, but in row with multiple view it did't work (it just toggle view). In other words - it's impossible to make none action ontap on item in row with multiple view.

3) Look like some attribete name are missed between 'absolute' and 'path' in http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_ext_cust_iM_cs.htm#absolute

4) Is there difference (in case of run-time used memory) between resized big image and smaller not resized (i.e. between image 100x100 resized 50% and image 50x50 ) ?

5) Resize on standalone image in view is't work ( see line 12 in my2_1.xml in attachment).

6) registry_tracker for image is't work. It always show 'image.bmp' - and it don't matter that value is and is value present at all.

<Row>
<View height="15">
<Item class="registry_tracker" >
<registry key_value="HKCU\Software\trigger" />
<image src="image%s.bmp" />
</Item>
</View>
</Row>

But for label work fine.

7) <label text="ttttt" color="FF0000" > make color blue! As I see in documentation color format is RRGGBB - then it must be RED!!!

BS build 266

Thanx
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
The documentation is wrong in that point. Color format is BBGGRR. So, to put text on red color, the value must be ==> color="0000FF"

Regards.

Nostramo
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Hello dan_ru,

thanks for your feedback.

is there a need for?

it's intended. All the values are values of absolute, so there no need to repeat in the table.

there's no difference in memory-needs, because it's resized once at loading time to the desired size. Hence the memory used depends directly on the final size of the image.

But it takes the cpu-power thus time to resize the image.

fixed with next build..

hm.. it is working with my tests.

What i used is the following description:

<Item class="registry_tracker">
<image src="rotate%s.bmp" />
<registry key_value="HKLM\System\State\Phone\Last Incoming Caller Number" />
</Item>

Are you sure, you have the images with correlated names inside the theme-directory?

corrected in docu hehe

1) About ontap="" in multiple views: Briefly - yes, I need it.

2) About http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_ext_cust_iM_cs.htm#absolute

I'm not sure what you understand me. I try to say in another words.

0 (default)	next item is placed same line.
1	next items are placed as multiple lines.

What this related for?

3) About registry_tracker for image: Hm, now(after soft-rest) it's work.

4) Color format. I'm understand - correcting in documentation it more easy, but it's wrong way IMHO. Today RRGGBB become as standart. Now it's un-comfortably. Just think about it.

oh true hehe, corrected now

it's not that easy. I know rgb is commonly used, so i do and that's why the project-site stated at first.

But

- first point is COLORREF used in WM5-SDK uses bgr.

- Second point is that a lot of themes have been made avaiable using bgr and changing this in BS impacts all the available themes. I guess some people may curse then hehe

(- third point is --> no need to convert from rgb to bgr at loading time of the plugin (e.g. boot), thus a little less code to execute even though it's just some bitshifts hehe)

Hi,

I've been using this plugin since I got my phone and have to say it's one of the neatest and most useful things I have found.

It's been working like a dream for the past 2 months but this month when it automatically cleared down my timers it stopped logging incoming calls and sms.

I tried to re-install but when I came back out of the config screen the tray icons were overwritten with the text from the config screen, very strange.

I now have it back up and running again and it seems to be logging incoming but not outgoing, and yes I have ticked both :). Also I could only get it to show the call timers once I selected show more indicators which I have never had to do before!

A few problems

With an older version of BS (235) I had a few problems.

- I can make a connection with GPRS but I couldn't disconnect it with the tray-icon.

So I installed the latest version (266).

Now I have some other/more problems.

- The CPU speed shown under the clock and on the first row are sometimes not the same.

- The CPU load is sometimes not shown.

- I can make a connection with GPRS but I still cannot disconnect it with the tray-icon.
