build 0253:

- changed: (Calllog) using pim for retrieving name for phone-number

- changed: algorithm for counting sms (Please report if it doesn't count!!!)

- added: reload theme

- fixed: retrieve description to number for calllogs

- added: command-handling, to supply a command create or set the following registry-value

Path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus

Value-Name: Command

Value-Type: String

For reloading theme: Command="ReloadTheme"

For toggle A2DP: Command="toggleA2DP"

you can use following API's:

HRESULT WINAPI RegistrySetString ( HKEY hKey, LPCTSTR pszSubKey, LPCTSTR pszValueName, LPCTSTR pszData )

remote (via ActiveSync):

CeRegCreateKeyEx ( HKEY hKey, LPCWSTR lpszSubKey, DWORD Reserved, LPWSTR lpszClass, DWORD dwOptions, REGSAM samDesired, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes, PHKEY phkResult, LPDWORD lpdwDisposition )

I guess you need to use a different tsk. Maybe Nostramo can supply the tsk..

search manual for smallicon-attribute.

many thanks for this great idea nico ;)

I've updated to the build, for reloading the theme. As soon as you've implemented an automatic reload by using the BS command-pipe, i will attach it to the first page ;)

It depends on the application you're launching. Sometimes initialization takes some time.. Does it launch faster with file explorer?

I've tested with a simple messagebox-app which appeared immediately.

Is it possible to keep the settings of the previous build, when uninstalling. Cause everything a new build is released I have to set everthing again like it was. Thanks for the 0253
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
yes, it's a feature of BS.

Don't uinstall. Just install the new version. The old version will be removed and the settings will be kept.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hendrixus:
Oke thanks. I didn't knew I always uninstall "old"versions of software before installing the new ones.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] tiggerbcn:
in the manual I have found this:

smallicon	Used for start_app and forces to load a smallicon if set to 1.

But does this mean that the icons only can have 2 values? Big or small?

thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
no, you can use image-tag and specify an bmp/png/gif/jpeg of any size or resize the image specified by src-attribute.

If it doesn't work, then let me know.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] tiggerbcn:
Ok, I will prove it I hope it works thus, I already will comment on you.

You need to redownload build 0253 for new language-support.

great :) keep an eye on this.. i haven't tested it well..

e.g.

<View height="36" itemselect="1" >
<Item class="space" >
<image left="-25" src="rotate.bmp" transparent="020202" />
</Item>
<Item class="start_app" path="\Windows\fexplore.exe ::argument1" >
<image src="fexplore.png" />
</Item>
<Item class="start_app" path="\Windows\BubbleBreaker.exe" >
<image src="BubbleBreaker.png" width="32" height="32" />
</Item>
<Item class="start_app" path="\Windows\solitare.exe" >
<image src="solitare.png" />
</Item>
<Item class="start_app" path="\Windows\pword.exe" >
<image src="pword.png" width="32" height="32" />
</Item>
</View>

of course the png's have to be in your resource-folder specified in Window-tag (<Window src="resources" >)

btw. you can supply arguments to the progam seperated by double-colon, e.g. path_to_program ::argument1 argument2 arguement3

Does this help?

Wisbar Desktop And Batterystatus

when i use WISBAR DESKTOP it actually shows BATTERYSTATUS with correct data on meters, but every time i try to configure it, - a message that batterystatus disabled appears.... is it actually overclocking my processor while in wisbar desktop mode??

Thanks Ikarus, Now I understand it, a different image is necessary to use that the one that has the program, or that I have to create an image for every program. I will prove it like that I hope it works well, thank you very much. Another thing would the separation between the images be necessary to do her with the instruction " left = "?

EDIT: Perfect Ikarus, Now if that has gone out for me well, the problem was in that it was not using another image, but I believed that it was possible to use the image that has the program.

Thank you very much for your help.

Sroll Bars

When there a lot of items on the Today Screen the Vertical Scroll bars appear. Is there a way to stop the scroll bars from appearing on Battery Status similar to the way that they do not appear on the HTC plugin? On the HTC Today plugin, the scroll bars only appear on the bottom half of the Today Screen.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] rgb-rgb:
Thanks for the replies but in that key, I don't have the bs\Type key. I wnet ahead and added the bs key and then the Type keword with DWORD=5 but that didn't doit either. Am I doing somethimg wrong?

Thanks to everyone for pointing me in the right direction. On my Tilt, it was the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus\Type=5. Changing that key did the trick. Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Sweet :)

Is someone aware of an utility to modify/create/delete reg keys ?

I need two softs, to operate from desktop or from device, and I need them to operate silently, using command lines.

I don't want to spend time developping a tool for such a simple task, as I'm certain something's already exist :)

I guess you're right. I thought the problem was, first BS flashes, then the command is triggered. Well, actually I wanted to launch quickmenu this way, so I have to find a (fast) way of simulating a key press or clicking the taskbar (while it's hiden). Do you have an idea ? :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Oki, I've contacted the author of CeRegEditor, next version will support command lines :)

Hope it will be out soon so that I can include it to my tool.

I still need the one to operate directly from the device !!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Hey it works for any plugin, coooool :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] kalavera:
There is a little "bug", more like a quirk. When i integrate BS inside custom tab in spb diary (with tabs vertical), it works well, but the cpu speed is almost hidden behind a black background or something (i can only see the last number). Maybe is just a problem in the default theme when the plugin doesnt occupy 100% of the width of the screen.

I'm using the latest build.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
I guess a screenshot could be handy...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
great news :)

I've quickly build a small tool for operating on device

.. attached to first post hehe

You can use it to

1. store a string to a path of your choice

2. or only to the command pipe of bs.

Usage for RegistrySetString.exe

1. RegistrySetString.exe Key Path ValueName Value

e.g. set HKLM\Comm Manager\Test=abc

RegistrySetString.exe HKLM "Comm Manager" Test abc

or

RegistrySetString.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE "Comm Manager" Test abc

2. Use BS command

RegistrySetString.exe reloadtheme
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Are you using wisbar?

i don't know if you're using Wisbar desktop, but there was a user reporting this with wisbar so i've checked this.

The root cause is that in case BatteryStatus is build into the wisbar desktop, then sometimes the window message WM_DRAWITEM comes with an illegal parameter. I guess wisbar desktop sometimes mess up this parameter.

The lParam is a pointer to a struct and this pointer is invalid sometimes, that is it has an address to an invalid memory.. and causes the crashes or freezes.

Of course i could wrap this function into a try/catch-block to prevent the freezes, but the tasklist doesn't work correctly though.

It's not a problem of BS as far as i can see...

The best you can do for the moment is to avaid any context-menu of BS when not using the ms-todayscreen.

Qualcomm overclocking support?

Hi!

Are there any future plans for battery status to support overclocking to devices with Qualcomm processors???
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] scottwilkins:
Simple questions (I hope...)

I'm new to this application, and so far really like it. I believe it's a must have app for any PocketPC.

I seem to be missing the OMAP and CPUScaler tabs in the setup though. I installed the nightly build on an HTC Tilt, if that has anything to do with it.

Also, what is the homezone plugin used for? There is nothing on it in the manual other than a download link.

Sorry for these questions if they are routine, but I've not found much yet in the almost 300 messages here or in the manual/faq.

Thanks,

Hello nico, that would be great and of course you can count on my help for that :)

relax and xsd are different. In principle a schema is a description for what is allowed and what's not in an xml-file.

The link you've given is for relax-schemas and i've made a schema for xsd.

I could provide a relax-schema too, but then i have manage two schemas.. much work hehe

I've decided to use xsd, because it's standard by w3c and commonly known, but that doesn't mean xsd is better than relax...

Hi people. I used to use overclocking my XDA Neo to 249 MHz for some time. After it was freezed several times, I reduced overclocking to 220. Then problems came again. I found topics in Inet, that overclocking for OMAP processors is extremly bad idea - when frequency is changed - all parts are working faser (WLAN, Display, BT...) and after some time display is not working, or mobile phone function, or BT.

Somebody have info about this?

I'm interesting in following: does downclocking also is not healthy for OMAP?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
You could try shaps advanced configuration tools.

try the search-function. it's working only for o2 germany.

You don't have to read any of the posts.

Use the search-function and look for overclocking. There are so much information and it absolutely doesn't make sense write it again and again...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
I also went into problems with o/c in the past, and I noticed the screen flicks noticeably when u/c under ~140mhz. I don't think it can damage it..

I guess the worst that can happen is a non-booting device, and it looks like BS has some routines to avoid this, but a soft like safemode (the only one I know) is preferable.

On the other hand, o/c can definitely damage things, as the heat may alter some components (I think silicium, etc but I'm not sure about it).

The fact is no one can really tell what your particular device will handle or not. And more important, how long it will handle it.

I didn't see many post about dead devices due to o/c, actually I don't think I ever saw one except mine at that time ;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Genesis3:
Two things....

With the "HTC Home-style" theme, the EMAIL button always links to Outlook Email.

Most of us using it probably are going to a POP or IMAP account. I can't find a way to change this in the XML file - can this be added?

As for OMAP, my experience is that moderate overclocking doesn't hurt anything - I've been doing it with my device for more than a year. If you go too far, it will lock up and behave "oddly".

I like the scaling function as that only overclocks when CPU demands are high, and actually underclocks when low, and have been using that now for quite some time.
