I am wondering if the size of the tray can be edited, just to make it more finger friendly. I've searched, and searched, but i do not seem te find it.

I've been here but that does not help me either, is it even possible?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] utak3r:
Generally you shouldn't mix various system or task functions from BS, WkTask or QM... just keep using those functions from one of them only.

ikarus...

Two things more ;)

1. Bumping the old thing I've mentioned somewhere in the past: I'd like to have a possibility to turn off left dpad handling by BS... try using TodayAgenda as a tab in BS - you can't operate on its tree! Probably it's the same in other apps. It's just left dpad hides the row....

2. Of incorporating plugins into xml file... the problem arises, when you want to try several themes, switching between them is a real pain in the ass - because of plugins, which are configured manually in Options dialog. Well.... you see? :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ruebyi:
would be glad about this too!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mcurtayne:
Thanks Ikarus. I was using PDC TodayShrink to remove the bottom toolbar. However, I've now removed it, but still have the same issue.

I'm using a Tytn II - which 'could' be a contributing factor given the known issues with the graphics drivers. (However, I don't have this issue with UltimateLaunch, so it's not totally a device issue - sorry. I might end up using UL as a work-around).

Another thing for you to check with my theme to see if you can emulate it:

On the first tab, if you tap on a blank area of the screen (i.e. beneath the items, but above the 'tab headers' row):

- after the first tap, the seconds on the clock stop updating

- after 3 taps - however much time there is between them - the screen switches to a different tab.

I think this is a related issue.

Any other Tytn II users fancy testing my theme - a few posts back?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mcurtayne:
I tried creating a user account on your forum to post the xml idea, but never received the password email. Will check back later.

Suggested changes to XML to add the plugin:

- New 'item' tag, 'class' and 'type' attribute values: 'plugin'.

Where 'class' = 'plugin':

- new 'name' attribute = plugin name, e.g. 'TodayAgenda'

- new 'unload_on_hide' attribute = 0 / 1 - same as equivalent setting in options

- 'ontap' / 'onhold' attributes replace current 'use gesture' option

(I'm not completely sure what the 'use gesture' option is for, so this may not be correct).

clock_alarm icon

Hi,

if I use the clock class, the clock_alarm class doesn't work. It shows allways that the alarm is on, also in the case if it is not on:

<Item class="clock" >

<label text="HH':'mm" fontsize="30" width="70" fontfamily="Tahoma" top="-1" align="left" left="-20" />

</Item>

<Item class="clock_alarm" ontap="CtlPnl" index="16" subindex="2" >

<image left="-4" top="1" />

</Item>

Is it a bug or a feature?

Is there a workaround to solve this?

Thank you in advance!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ruebyi:
Hi Ikarus!

feature request:

How abaout a analog clock!? Sometimes I like the "old analog style". Is there a chance to put it into BS directly? because using an other Todayplugin takes more space becuase I can't put any Buttons left or right of it!

Greetings ruebyi
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
so.. i've checked the registration procedure and all seems fine.

I guess the problem is friendly-fire/crossfire anti-spam of hotmail.. see http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/05/01/hotmail_friendly_fire/

To clarify my position: I do totally agree with what microsoft is doing!!

Unfortunately hotmail-users can't use the full service of the project-site, but since i don't expect such a huge rush on the forum.. we can use workarounds.

I'll send you a password by pm and you can login and change the password afterwards.

The only backdraw is that you don't receive notifications :(

If you want to use another account, then let me know and i'll delete the registration so that you can register again.

Does that help?

Hi ikarus,

one more thing I'm thinking of...

I put Batterystatus in Ultimatelaunch and now I want to have a button in UL that toggles wifi... well, theres no Programm that works with my XDA Terra, but Batterystatus... is it possible to use this funktion by making a link in Ultimatelaunch and not in Batterystatus? e.g. with any kind of command in Mortscript?

would be glad about this!

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. is it the same with DeviceLock.exe from armstrom or vjay?

i don't want to install too many apps on my device only for testing, but if DeviceLock by others behaves different, then i'll try looking for the cause this weekend.

i'll check the other questions tomorrow or these days!! they are not forgotten, but maybe other members can assist as well. it's welcome.

Hi guys!

Need a quick help (I hope!)

I tried to implent Ultimatelaunch in Batterystatus. I tried to make a row with Batterystatus in it.

Ultimatelaunch is row 1 view 3

this is the script:

first I want to kill the first row on top, then I want to change the view in row 1 from 0 to 3 ... row 0 dissappears, row 1 changes, but UL does not appear... I can only see my Background Image!

My Script to turn back works:

Hope you can help me!?

Edit.: Solved! I'm so stupid! I forgot to remove Batterystatus out of the first UL Tab! :mad:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. good example.

right. that's true. nice reason.

great :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] LordDeath:
Hi Ikarus.

Is the possible, that BatteryStatus sets the cpu clock back to 195Mhz, while the display is off?

I use the display off feature while listening to music or downloading some files. When I activate the display again, the initial refreshing of the today screen is really slow.

Then if I charge the device the CpuScaler is been switched off. I think that is not needed, because with lower clock speeds it would charge the device a bit faster.

And if I put the device into standby (with power button) and bring it back, the cpu stays at 195MHZ, because the CPUScaler is disabled.

There are good ideas in the queue, but i'll delay them until new devices like the diamond will be released. New features should work with the concepts of them as well.

CPU Scaling question

Hello Chi-tai,

Been a while since I bothered you! ;-)

A quick question about CPU scaling for you.. Do you think it is possible to add some (or a range) of excluded CPU speeds to the scaling option?

As you probably know, many devices can overclock to relatively high speeds but have issues at some lower speeds. For example, my TMO Wing will run fine at 299 but the screen is lost at 273 and is again fine at 249. As a result, I tend not to use scaling at all these days but it would be nice to have the option. If I could tell BS to exclude 273 from scaling (or, ideally, a few speeds) it would make scaling a viable option for me again!

Thanks for listening!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hi ny_limited,

i'm aware of this. I can remember maybe you have told me that.

I'm about to generalize the scaling-engine (the next weeks) to be used with other cpu's as well (note that it's in a too early state to be made public), so there will be some changes.

Could you add this request to the feature requests in the discussion-forum http://www.chi-tai.info/discuss so that it will get into the design (if possible)?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] utak3r:
Well, indeed, it works on Wizard really well :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NYLimited:
Done!

One small question, relating to this..

In the config there is a checkbox to 'overclock on wakeup'. Does that mean that the device does NOT overclock when the screen is off and is asleep? Never thought of this before... :confused:

analog clock

I tried to register on your web page to post this in the request forum, but haven't heard back yet (2-3 days ago, and it's not in my junk mail folder).

This is another vote for an analog clock, or the possibility of having another today plugin in the same row as other batterystatus items.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. if you're using hotmail then i've send you an email.. maybe my gmail-account isn't blocked by hotmail :rolleyes:

Could you register again with another email-account?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
great :D

yes.. it's also mentioned in the faq. After reading the faq, you know why hehe
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NYLimited:
Well, the FAQ said this works with the power button being pressed explicitly. I am guessing it also works on a timeout. ;)

If you slowed down and introduced fewer new features each day maybe I could keep up with the reading.. Probably not - you are too fast for me! :D

Problem with omap overclocking

I'm having a problem with overclocking on my Touch Elfin.

First of all I'm running the original rom on my device.

With BS 0.4 everything worked fine, overclocking and all.

Last week I've installed BS 1.05 and that's when overclocking stopped working. Everytime I try to set a higher cpuspeed I get the message 'Cpuspeed set to 201 Mhz'.

I've uninstalled BS 1.05 and installed BS 0.5 but I still can't overclock.

Can someone please help me out ?

Thanks ! ;)

Edit : Nevermind, I've reinstalled BS 1.05 and now for some reason overclocking works again.

Hi ikarus,

i ordered two multisim cards from o2 and I noticed, that the homezone icon was not working anymore. Do I have to install the newer BSHome 1.1 to get it back? My previous card was also a 3G card but my prophet is still with 2G :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:
Ikarus,

I've noticed a new problem with my phone freezing (have to reset to get it back) when trying to show a row or a view with a contained today plug-in for which the "save memory, unload plugin" box is checked. If the save memory box is un-checked, there isn't a problem.

I have been experimenting with different multiviews when I found this problem.

The problem does Not exist when I use the ontap="view", for example:

<Item class="space" ontap="View" index="3" subindex="2" >

Problem does exist when I use a script or batch file to do the same, for example:

Run( "\windows\BatteryStatus\RegistrySetString.exe", """100 3 2""" )

I need for it to work in the script because I have other commands I need to execute on one tap.

Has anyone else reported this problem with phone freezing?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
i've just got device emulator installed and tried to reproduce with default-theme and injected pocketmsn/messaging-plugin, but i could not reproduce the crash :(

You may add a new thread to the bug-report-section of support-forum http://www.chi-tai.info/discuss so that we can track it.

The best would be providing your theme-files, so that i can try reproducing with your settings.

You can contact me by PM there for the theme-files if you don't want them to get public.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Hi tzm0510,

no it's not intended to be used this way..

you can make use of states, e.g. visible/hidden by incorporating external scripts that writes the state into registry and get the state from registry. this way you can show views depending on the state...

the correct code is:

<Item class="space" ontap="View" index="0" subindex="0" onhold="View" index="0" subindex="1">

it implements a tap-action and a "tap and hold"-action for switching views.

It's not implemented yet. You must do it with advanced-tab of options.

don't mind.. mine's not better at all ;)

hi LordDeath, nice to see you again :)

It's better to upgrade to 1.1

version 1.1 is backward-compatible.

With the latest build 1.05.315 -> it doesn't matter whether 2G/GSM or 3G/WCDMA.

It should detect the network and use the appropriate algorithm automatically.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] LordDeath:
Hi ikarus,

thank you for your reply. I contacted the o2 customer support and they forgot to switch the homezone to the new SIM card. Five minutes after my call the icon was back in batterystatus :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:
Ikarus,

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm still working on pinpointing the freezing problem and then will post on your forum.

I have a new question. I'm using tinybatch.exe for a few simple things but am having trouble with executing anything that is not in the \windows\batterystatus folder.

Just for a simple test, I do the following and it works great as long as calc.exe is in the batterystatus folder.

# Just testing to see if I can hide a row
RegistrySetString.exe HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus" Command "101 2 0"

Sleep 500

# Just testing to see if I can hide a row
RegistrySetString.exe HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus" Command "101 3 0"

Sleep 500

# just testing to see if todaytoggle.exe works okay
todaytoggle.exe

as soon as I try to add a path using \program files\todaytoggle.exe or \\program files\\todaytoggle.exe it doesn't start the .exe file (or any exe). Is there a trick for designating a path?

Thanks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. indeed there seems a bug in tinybatch.exe

you can fix it by appending a space as the last character

will be fixed as soon as my development machine is up again

Mmmm.... i have a Qtek 9100 too, not working for me, tried sending a few texts and it's definately not updating :( will try again if it resets after midnight

Maybe i have some corrupt entries in the registry from all the testing, ikarus how can i completely remove all entries to do a true test?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] niall0s:
Ok, at midnight both the month and the today values for calltimes reset to 0, i would have expected today not to reset as it was set for 1am

Made a call and both values updated, i still have the day time to reset at 1 so i will report back

The sms count did reset to 0

Tried sending a sms after the count reset and the value did not update it still shows 0 :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
very good :)

If this is language related, then this must wait but it's unlikely because of pre15 worked for you. Try setting options by System->Settings... to see if options by tap is the problem.

The state values and important registry-settings are each time build new when you close the options-dialog, so the chance for corrupt entries isn't much.

If you use the cab-installer (instead of BSUpdate), then all Registrysettings of BatteryStatus will be deleted and written new (--> completely renew). This does a clean installation at all. But it should not be needed. I suspect the options by tap as the problemmaker hehe but this is very new also..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
oh okay. i c. the persistent state value (last day of reset) makes the formula needs updating.

That's not the way the reset works. When a daily reset is needed then it checks if the monthly reset has to be done. This saves resources and fits any application of such a reset. Furthermore less codepaths can have less bugs hehe

I think there is no need for independent reset tasks. Of course, if you have a good application in everyday-life for that... let me know...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] niall0s:
I am using an english rom :)

I set options by System->Settings and this worked, the sms count now updates :)

An example would be:

I have set the month reset to 1

I have the daily reset set to 12

So every day at 12pm the daily count would reset

This would not work on the 1st of every month as the daily count would be reset with the monthly count at midnight so the today value would only be from midnight onwards

It's not a big issue but if you are aiming for perfection i think it could be considered a bug ;)

Keep up the great work!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Marx2:
i have simple question - device lock (used in this program) has ability to run program before doing keylock. How to run today screen?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm... i'm not sure of this. DeviceLock.exe is called by command line with command line arguments. If the settings of control applet overrides the command line arguments, then this could work but in my opinion it's the other way. I think the command line arguments overrides the control applet settings. Maybe ask armstrom about that first. Can you do this? He's a registered user of xda-developers.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Marx2:
I have installed battery status, but I've got original Devicelock with CPL. I use BS but don't use it's "lock" function-i use DeviceLock itself for it. So commandline problem isn't important for me.

So... maybe it's not good thread to ask about (better would be those about DeviceLock), but what program should I run to show today screen?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
I have a question on those lines too. Ikarus, I know you've mentioned Mortsaver in the past. I wonder how difficult it would be to make a keylock screen that shows the time and phone messages etc. instead of a blank screen, just like Mortsaver did. I use my phone as a watch so I often just click the screen on for a second to see what time it is. Alternatively as the previous poster brought up, the today screen could serve as well for me since I have a very large clock plugin. If I have outlook loaded, for instance, the current version of BattStat wakes up to outlook again after sleeping.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
fixed in pre17 :)

Also options by tap is tested successful up to now hehe

follow this link 0.02.500 pre17

hm... with this settings the daily counter resets at 12 o'clock and on the 1st of each month at 12 o'clock the monthly counter resets also. I think this is what the options implies. If not, then i need to redesign the options a bit...

There is such an extension to BatteryStatus currently being developed, but intended for the next releases.

hm... it's possible to make such an option, maybe for the next release. I don't know how to show the Today-Screen by start of an application. Maybe another user can help?

There are several emails, and pms asking me about development and i think this could be of interest for others also:

BatteryStatus is developed in C++ and the (remote) tools for smartdevices.

You can download eVC4, the PocketPC (Windows Mobile 5)-SDK and an emulator from www.microsoft.com/downloads for free and start developing.

To make a Today-Plugin is extremly easy and this is the good message ;)

The bad message is: the more complex the code gets, the more time for testing it needs.

I have principles (as for live) which helps me make decisions if they are not obvious and that helped me a lot.

btw. what do you think about that calltimes-position

you can try this with the attached cab.

Feature Request:

IN the US (at least with Cingular), we also pay for received calls and SMS. I noticed that the counter didn't increase for some received SMS messages I got. Does that also mean that the call counters don't change for incoming calls?

Also, I vote to center the carrier name. When the text is bold, the carrier is VERY close to the %.
