oh and of course if you can make a small simple sketch, e.g. with Paint .Net showing where you want the digits to be would help understanding your problem better..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
YES!!! sequence - class mechanism makes it uncontrollable in untypical cases, exactly this is it..

..in typical cases, it is efficient and perfect, idd!

ok, i will provide test xml + data later, or just pic(made with pspXI rather, than paint :) )..

thanks ikarus, it is great program to have some fun with building what we have in mind.

sry guys for marginal OT..btw.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. just saw your edits.. maybe it's too late, but i've lost the track within this thread, since there are so many diverse topics and i'm focusing only on bugfixes for the next time..

so.. the best would be to sketch, e.g. with some lines and boxes with Paint .Net what you want to customize :D

Hey Ikarus ...

BTAdvanced is a very nice software, gratulation!

I hope it will become better and better ;)

I miss a special function: Is it possible for the next releases to add an option which allows you to reset the call, sms and data usage on a given day?

Thank you for response ...

Kaimane

.Edit.

Sry, my mistake. I oversighted the still integrated function ...

But the next question: Does BS only resets calltimes and counted sms or resets BS the data usage too?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
yes any counter for calltimes/datacounter.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] marttin:
On Bild 322 and 321 (no idea about prev builds) noticed SMS counter do not counts outgoing messages sent by third party applications.

For example - I use MagiCall to send text messages under some conditions. SMS sent by MC are not counted by BS SMS counter

Thanks for the great application :)

new build

Version 1.05.140 - build 0323 - 07/13/2008:

- fixed: updating of batterymeter (if loading on usb is deactivated)

- fixed: handling of WCDMA-Homezone

- changed: support only for SecondToday version greater than 0.3.0

- changed: DWORD TaskBarBattery under BS-RegistryKey for showing Batterylevel instead of CpuSpeed

- changed: Show Batterylevel in TaskBar if no omap-cpu was detected as default
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Thanks ikarus for the battery percentage feature (instead of the CPU)! :D

I requested this some time ago (also in your forum) so it's great to see it implemented right now. :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
you're welcome :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
The only thing is that it doesn't update properly. The battery meter in the Today screen plugin shows 97% but the one in the top bar still shows 100%. :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
oh.. could you tell me some points to reproduce it?

I could start trying any possible settings or so.. but it would take some time.. so the more precise the faster it gets fixed..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Defenitely!

All I did was install the newest version and played a game (Motogear, pretty old). When I closed the game the difference in percentage was there. After a soft reset the percentages were the same but after typing this post my battery in the Today screen plugin is back to 97, but in the top bar it's still 96%.

I haven't been able to find the exact registry key you mention in your release post but it did show the percentage immediately after installation so I guess that should be fine.

If you need anything else, I'd be glad to help.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] magiciso:
I install build 320 just after hard-resetting my device, but no luck

I think i will try the build 323 later or switch back to T.chinese rom again...

Suggestion:

I don't use CPUscaler and call time/sms count in advanced version

but the free version lack some features i wanted,

maybe you can make a indicator version(the free one) and a indicator+CPUscaler+call time count version(advanced one)?

i would have voted for "I don't need that! It's only code that needs memory." if the poll was still actived...

It's hard to find an alternative to this great app...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. strange..

it's not so easy hehe..

Apart from that i don't have enough time to "produce" more versions... have you looked at the dlls of BS?

They aren't really big and memory usage of BS is also optimized already, even though there are some upcoming improvements in the next builds.

Bear in mind that BattTdp.dll is the main-dll and all the other files are loaded on demand. You can check that with e.g. TaskManager or dotfred.

If you don't have the functions enabled in the xml or options, then don't care about them :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
could you provide your xml?

Version 1.05.141 - build 0324 - 07/16/2008:

- added: automatically detect memorycard

- added: onhold-action for navigation-keys

- fixed: keep cpu-utilization active if taskbar-indicator is enabled

- changed: improved onhold-behavior for slide="1"

well.. onhold is working, but you don't have to move the stylus. just tap and hold (without moving) and it works :D

Try build 0324. Tap'n'hold schould work better with that build.

hm... i've tested with your theme and tried to reproduce, but it's updating fine on my both devices.. so do you have more hint how to reproduce?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:
Ikarus, the new build works great now for onhold!! You are the best! :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
I have no clue. :confused:

I've shown you my settings and my .xml.

The only other Today plugins running are the Tasks and Calendar plugins (the ones that are built into the system). I'm also using PhoneWeaver (by SBSH) but not it's Today plugin. I've got Newsbreak (RSS reader) running with automatic updates every hour and also ceTwit 2 with updates every 3, 5, 10 or 30 minutes (I change that sometimes).

But I'm not sure if these could have any impact on the battery meter on the top bar not updating. :o
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Version 1.05.142 - build 0325 - 07/18/2008:

- added: itemselect="-1" (negative values for disabling of rightmost select-action by dpad-right)

- fixed: onhold-action for dpad

you're welcome hehe

hm.. i have no clue as well hehe

The last update-problem i could reproduce, but now the reading always updates..

Could there be a transparent overlay-window? If the BS-window is covered by an other window then BS doesn't render new.

e.g. If you have your device locked, then BS doesn't render even if you can see the BS-window (the devicelock-window covers the Bs-window)

You could try setting the type of BS (in Registry-key) to 5 and observ again.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
I've changed the registry item and then upgraded to the latest version. Now it shows the percentage followed by a / sign and then another number. For example 97%/4.

The number after the / sign updates quite frequently, and now the battery percentage gets updated as well! :D

What does the type registry setting do (when changing it from 4 to 5), what's the difference?

Version 1.05.144 - build 0327 - 07/19/2008:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:
The background-image works great with todayagenda! love it!! :D

I have a new idea for you to consider if you haven't already:

How about an item attribute to use with ontap="View" that gives options on whether to "slide" the view in or "turn" the view in (like a cube), etc.? This would make BatteryStatus as robust (or more robust) than UL!

Here is my themes row where I toggle row 2 with a different view - it would be cool if I had options for each item on whether to swing it like a cube or to slide it in or to blend it in, etc.

<Row name="Themes" rowtoggle="0" >

HI ikarus

I have build 324 now and the value of the SD Card is not displayed even with the default xml , can you check please ? before (at 320 : it was correct)

Another question : seems to me that DeviceLock sometimes freeze , have you ever noticed that ?

I explain : when Locking , and after some time then device is asleep , I click to awake and when I click to Unlock nothing happens , just the Word Unlock which light on
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Could you try build 0327?

hm.. maybe..

With the latest roms DeviceLock was working fine, but i could observe some strange things with stock-roms for Prophet. When you remove the sd-card while the device is in standby, then the DeviceLock can't be unlocked.. and seems to be freezed..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Zimaia:
Hi,

I have a problem with this latest version.

I have a multi page setup (Diamond theme from cedzen) with some modifications. with this latest version some background images that suposes to show in a row shows in other pages. I unistall this version and went back to 326 again and everything goes normal again. So this must be a bug with the 327 version.

Anyone with same problem??
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] tomme45i:
I found two very useful options in Second Today : "Disable Command Bar" and "Big TrayIcons". ikarus is there a chance you could add this functions to BatteryStatus ?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
background-image handling has been changed to a more cpu-friendly way for rendering.

Could you provide a description and your theme-files (or at least a theme-file) for me to reproduce that?

You can have "Disable Command Bar" with dcNobar ;)

The big trayicons is already implemented in BatteryStatus, but works only with SecondToday. The default-todayscreen doesn't support such modifications :(

I guess (not for sure yet) one of the next additions in SecondToday is sliding the trayicon-bar :D

The good thing with SecondToday is that you can have features, that the default-todayscreen does not have (yet? :D ) hehe
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Zimaia:
Ok, ikarus

Us you can see there are in the weather page a rectangular that belongs to clock page. Other problem with this specific theme is that the select item in the bottom menu does not always show. at the right image you can see a empty space that should be occupied like the image on left.

The theme is in the attachments files

Thanks very muth for any help you can give me because i love this theme.

Version 1.05.145 - build 0328 - 07/22/2008:

- fixed: drawing of imagealt

- added: [class="tPlug] cachebg-attribute for Item-Tag. (1 = cache background, 0 = don't cache background)

[QUOTE="OCTRA, post: 2432426, member: 330726"]Us you can see there are in the weather page a rectangular that belongs to clock page. Other problem with this specific theme is that the select item in the bottom menu does not always show. at the right image you can see a empty space that should be occupied like the image on left.[/quote]thanks for your files. They definately helped to reproduce the issues.

The first problem with pocketweather is not really a problem of BatteryStatus, because pocketweather is caching the background-image and when pocketweather fills the cache -> it caches the background of first view.

To solve this you can use build 0328 and add the attribute cachebg="0" (prevent caching for that Item) to the Item with Pocketweather.

The second problem is also solved with build 0328.

btw. i have seen some methods to improve rendering while tracing the code with that theme. There are also some problems with using the theme on vga-devices, which will be fixed.. this weekend or so hehe
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] konandrio:

Please tell me if this is the correct line where i must add the cachebg-attribute:

correct ;)

btw. could you try build 0329? Especially for your theme there should be a improvement in rendering.

hm.. should be possible, but i don't know when it could be implemented, since the list of feature requests is still long hehe

You could add that feature request to the discussion-place http://www.chi-tai.info/discuss

it should run on diamond.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Zimaia:
Thanks ikarus :)

definitely an improvement in performance, faster, more fluid transitions and the bottom menu moves muth better now.

I must say that this peace of software it's a miracle compare to other solutions that are trying to be the most customizable possible!! it's incredible the amplitude of possibilities and at the same time the amount of ram need to perform this for you to have an idea with wad2 my device have 12/14 mb of free ram and with bs a have 20mb always free. It's a big difference for someone with a 64mb device.

Thank you for your help!!

Stay well!!:)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
great :D

it's easy if you think in bits and/or combined with O(1).. i guess computer scientists know about that hehe

just a hint, because i've seen in your theme that some images could be provided as bitmaps with transparent-color as well..

-> try avoiding alpha-channels (takes more time to render)

-> some of your images can be transformed to bitmaps with a transparent-color (with alpha-channel you can have oppacity from 0..255 or so, but e.g. the bottom-images need only transparent or not transparent: fill the transparent pixels with e.g. magenta and set the transparent-attribute in xml to magenta)

Bitmaps are bigger in size, but reading from flashmemory doesn't really take time (compared to harddisks) and.. pngs are compressed so decompress pngs also takes time.

--> improves speed of rendering (makes it faster)

i have my personal theme mostly with bitmaps and only some less images with fading transparency (with alpha-channel) as pngs and it is very snappy to interact with..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:

Task manager only

Hi Ikarus,

I've been using Batterystatus on my Prophet and Artemis and I really liked the Task manager.

I now have an MDA compact IV (Diamond) and i can't get used to the HTC task manager.

(I only have a dropdownlist from homescreen.)

Problem is that the taskmanager disappears when Manilla starts.

Can you create a cab just for the task manager or fix it so it will not disappear when BatteryStatus is not on today.

build 0329 bug report

Hi Ikarus,

I jumped from build 0327 to 0329 to take advantage of the no cache backgrounds for my today plugins. I just wanted to report a possible bug.

I have noticed that a couple of my bat files that I run with tinybatch are now freezing my phone sometimes (the freezing doesn't seem to happen right after a reboot). They both use the 6 and 7 commands so I think something with the rendering is causing a conflict. I didn't have the problem at all with build 0327.

Here is one of my bat files that I use to hide most rows before I put the phone away at night:

sleep.bat

# stop rendering
RegistrySetString.exe HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus" Command "6"

# hide row
RegistrySetString.exe HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus" Command "101 1 0"

# hide row
RegistrySetString.exe HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus" Command "101 2 0"

# hide row
RegistrySetString.exe HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus" Command "101 4 0"

# start rendering
RegistrySetString.exe HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus" Command "7"
