ikarus, don't you think ,that it may be a time to implement SIMPLE method for dual-cfg's?

i am amazed, that topic is ignored for so long.

detection - p/l, then using portrait/landscape XML should not be HARD to TEST.

i know, this is xda dev, and 99% of users have ****TY SLOW devices from htc, BUT geez, They MAY wait for 3 seconds for portrait/landscape theme on their qualcomm, omap, samsung ****, YES?

(do not flame me, people, for harsh words..).

i am desperate for SIMPLE solutions. at last...

please, ikarus, think about TEST rev of hs++ with simple dualcfg based on screen orientation check.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
i have not tested it myself but i think it could be done with mortscript:

1st create another theme for landscape orientation

create a morstscript which does the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\HomeScreen PlusPlus\ThemeFile = "yourtheme_landscape.xml"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\HomeScreen PlusPlus\Command = "1" (this reloads the hs++ theme)

you can assign the script either to a button or to an event which can be read out in the registry (if you slide out the keyboard or, in case you own a diamond, you turn the diamond by 90 degrees).

in this case you have to write another script which continuously reads the corresponding registry value and activates the above script.

if your device is a qvga device then obviously you have to shrink your skin as the screen width is 240px.

if it is a vga device: :confused:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] bububang:
my device is qvga. That mean it must be within 240px? :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
from a hardware point of view your device has the following resolution (portrait):

width: 240px

height: 320px

this means: (icon at position left = "x") + (icon width = "y") < 240 in portrait mode.

these are very basic fundamentals. it would be better to get familiar with these before starting to skin - no offense, just a recommendation.

if you need different skins for portrait and landscape mode, see my previous post.

i understand and know about this.. the thing im not understand is why the image can be loaded but not the word? :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
i do not know exactly what of the following you want to achieve:

1. if you want a sliding menu row, then i think you have to add adaptwidth="0" to your view

2. if you do not want to slide your row then you have to squeeze everything into your row with a maximum of 240px

Is there any way (command-line, registry or something else) to enable and disable the device lock from HS++?

I have problems with iGo and my Kaiser, so i´d like to have it disabled befor iGO starts and endabled after it´s finished.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] DocMAX:
hello,

i have a german xperia x1 and i have a strange behaviour of the battery bar. it just goes 10 steps. this means it shows 0% 10% 20% .. and so on. nothing between.

this wasnt so on htc devices.

any ideas?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
do you want to enable/disable device lock or do you want to prevent your device from automatically locking your device?

if the latter is the case:

hkcu\controlpanel\backlight\autodevicelockenable

is the key you are looking for

but it still blacks the screen if configured under settings
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Christian72D:
I want to disable the feature that the device is locked after standby.

Because iGO has the problem that with some special settings it will lock the device even when it was not in standby.

I can´t find the reg-key you mentioned
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
have you tried creating it?

i do not know what device you are using nor the OS.

but i think that the path hkcu\controlpanel\backlight is device-independent

if you create the key make sure it is written

AutoDeviceLockEnable

does the key AutoDeviceLockTimeout exist?

would be another approach to set the value e.g. to 600 (that would be 10 hours...)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
that is not really homescreen++ related. please try to get an answer in the xperia forum. i am sure that if there are appropriate dlls available, the rom cookers would have implemented it.

Hi nothin,

this issue isn't ignored ;)

There is already code for handling this, but it crashes very often, so i've decided to delay it.

What has changed since then is that i'm a researcher now and a lot of the things i did for BatteryStatus/HS++UI --> i do for research now and it's a job that takes much much time, but gets paid hehe... apart from that i'm involved in teaching at the university and there are students who could learn from my experiences :D

What i want to say is that i have only some hours weekends for this project and priorities comes more visible.

1. fixing bugs

2. performance

3. features

Fortunatelly there is some time between semsters, where i have more time for projects as well :D

looks promising!

any user experiences?

Alarm Clock information please

Dear ikarus,

I want to make icon on/off-alarm for program "Klaxon".

Registry value "alarmflags" = 1 this allarm is on / 0 is off.

I write so:

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="progs\alarm.lnk">

<image src="alarm%d.png" top="131" left="-196" />

<imagealt src="alarmP.png" top="131" left="-196" />

<registry key_value="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Clock\0\AlarmFlags"/>

</Item>

but, "%d" always is "0".

Why?

What is wrong?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
because the value of the key is not dword - it is binary.

hs++ is not capable of handling binary values. please read ikarus' post here

you could write a mortscript which reads continuously the alarmflag value, converts it and writes into a dword or string value of your choice which then can be tracked by hs++.

it's already part of the taskbar-indicator (with recent builds of course). There is a small H in the taskbar-reading of HS++UI if you're in the homezone ;)

Hi!

I set up HomeScreen++UI 1.06.348 build 0348 successfully on my HTC Touch Diamond (German T-Mobile edition)

After playing a while with the settings, the screen hangs and I decided to reboot my device. And then the missery starts:

It boots normal up to the password-dialog.

If I put in the password, i see the PIN dialog. But after that, the screen freezes and I can't do anything. Pressing the power button for a longer time shows up the "turn-off" dialog, so there is still "life" inside my devie ;)

How can I fix this without hard-resetting my lovely touch?

Hi Ikarus!

I've installed HomeScreen++ UI (1.06 - build 0348) in my M88 (WM6), and it seems to be working mostly right. The only annoyance I've found is that the CPU usage indicator always shows 100% usage (I tried loading ABCTaskMan to check it, and the CPU usage it reports makes more sense, it's beween 5-20% with the device mostly idle). I would imagine there is something interfering with the way the program is polling the CPU usage, but I have no idea what it might be. I've tried changing the refresh rate, but it made no difference. Do you have any idea how to solve it/get more information?

Thanks!

Hi Ikarus,

Yesterday, it downd on me how to improve HH++ and expand auditory of its users.

In the begining of this month I upgraded my HTC Artemis to HTC Touch HD (aka Blackstone). It has light-sensor which could be used for automatical screen backlight adjastment. But, the native HTC backlight-adjustment program is too stupid and don't let customer change its settings.and the most users of Blackstone either switch the light-sensor off at all or uses third-party SW. Actually just two third-party programs are available - LUMOS and G-Light. Lumos needs .NET 3.5 to be installed and the second drawback is it emloys just simple linear algorithm - backlight intencity is proportional to the intencity of ambient light. G-Light allows user to set-up non-linear responce. But, unfortunatly, G-Light is uses very simple (and very stupid under a lot of ambient circumstances) algorithm of mesuring light-sensor -it just poll's it once a period, e.g. once in 2 sec, and based on received value calculates and sets up backlight intencity. This leads to two drawbacks - backlight intencity flickering from min to max attitude in the conditions when external light permanently changes - in such cases it woould be more comfortable to eye to limit backlight intencity variations near some middle value. And the second disadvantage - battery drain. G-light reduces battery life for about 5-7%.

Ikarus, I've written such many words, just to stress to you the fact that the algorithm you use for polling and overclock the CPU - this algorithm is idially fits the task of autoomatic backlight control. If you implemented light-sensor support in HH++ and backlight control function, then it would be great. I'm confident a lot of HTC Blackstone/Diamond/TouchPro users will say you many thanks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] eddyve:
Hi Ikarus,

Thankyou for your response. I have figured out in the meanwhile what the problem really is. It is the reg key. The reg key that I used (see my previous post) does not exist.

Instead I am using now this code

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="ToggleWiFi" onhold="MenuWiFi" >

<image src="WiFi%d.png" left="10" />

<registry key_value="HKLM\System\State\Hardware\wifi" />

Now it works!

After a soft reset it still shows the second view and I can get to the first view without any problem. But if I click again to get into the second view it crashs.

Version 0.30 Jan 9, 2009

In addition to some bug fixes, the following has been implemented:

-Creating a new file.

-Adding new elements and attributes: Items can only be chosen that are allowed according to the schema file. (However items can still be edited on the main page without validation.)

-Clicking the help button gives shows help for the chosen attribute.

-Application paths can be chosen from a filedialog box.

-Today plugins can be chosen from your registry.

-Comments can be saved as nodes with a # infront.

There are still the occassional crash of the program when saving the file, but

Happy New Year All!

Ikarus, I searched the forum at "Homepage of Chi-Tai" to see if anyone had asked this question before and didn't find anything related.

I am working on improving my xda-Hybrid theme that I posted on the themes thread, but have an interesting need/problem. I am trying to make the photos view more flexible and offer the ability to change directory location for photo viewing using mortscript. So, I end up with two registry values that I need to keep separate but use both in one Item tag if possible. For example, one registry value equals a directory path (eg., "\Storage Card\Concert Pictures" ) that is selected via mortscript - the second registry value is an image name (eg., "IMAGE_030"). I did try to create one string registry value out of both strings (eg., "\Storage Card\My Pictures\IMAGE_030") and then use "%s.jpg" in my XML, but I couldn't rename and place my 0.jpg and _empty.jpg properly (because of the backslashes) to make the images appear in the Item.

So then trying to be creative, I created a shortcut that points to the chosen photo directory path (eg., PhotoLink) and put that within my src directory tree and tried it in my XML (eg., "PhotoLink\%s" ) - but that was obviously no good either. I also tried to trick xml and have side by side registry_tracker classes together within one Item tag but it blew up on me. :) The last thing I tried was to copy the image into a shortcut (eg., photo.lnk) and use the registry item for the path and use that in my XML (eg., "%s\photo.lnk") but of course, that really was a bad idea too.

Any ideas on a viable solution??

TIA.
