Hi

Good idea!!. Added to my todo list

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] himatech:
Yes on exit the Wifi is set to off and I chose to keep state but it still keeps the Wifi on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
Daniel... Another idea...

Implement a rule, probably make it an optional one tho, to automatically turn off and keep off the wifi and bluetooth as well as dim the display when the battery gets below a certain %...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Simply to implement. Just create a profile called "low energy" with wifi off, bt off, etc, etc. Then the user can create a rule. When battery < 15 and not AC charged then -> activate profile "Low energy" :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rezzahuz:
Hi,

Am I missing something? The steps you just described to create the rule with battery and AC charge is not found in ver. 2.6. Or is it in the beta version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Rules engine will be included in the next version... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
When... ... ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
My goal is finishing in this month. Depends on my regualr job and my "always on" little daugther :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johny7:
Hello Daniel, is the date of new release still valid? My problem is that schedule is always destroyed over midnight or after SR. Actions belongs to this schedule always disappears every morning. Is it possible to fix it in new release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
so you ve to enter the actions each morning??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johny7:
Yes, every morning I have Home profile only with schedule “Default” with no action. Every evening there is Home – Live 7:00 to 22:00 Phone ON, Home – Night 22:00 to 3:00 Phone OFF, Home – Synchro 3:00 to 3:20 WIFI ON than WIFI OFF, Home - Night2 3:20 to 7:00 Phone OFF

Hope you understand. My phone is Topaz with Tom.Topaz.WM6.5v2 WWE

Daniel,

I have had installed CommmgrPro 2.53 running almost Ok till yesterday. Since yesterday, when I restart the ppc Commgrpro seams to start but I can not have access to it. When I try to open it, the proccess of installing it start and re-start and re-start.

But it seams that CMP is runing in the background, because if I soft-reset the PPC, the phone and PIN are started automatically.

I have tried to install new versions, un-install and re-install, install only the skin, etc and nothing give me a solution.

When I re-install CMP, everytime I soft-rest the installation of the Skin procces start again automatically.

As latest acction I have had to un-install CMP and wait for your help.

It has happened to me twice. The previous 3-4 weeks ago, and I solved the problem with a hard-reset. But now is summer and I do prefer go to the beach than re-install all software. Please help.

Best regards,

Never for VGA device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
By now CMP detects Resolution and Orientation and works in VGA. The VGA layout isnt very pretty (It is automatically generated)but works. Anyway first version of Skin engine will be ready this week and allows different layouts for Square, QVGA and VGA. Skizzo is working on his first skin.

Best Regards.

Dani.

pd. The pourpose is to distiguish between VGA and Real VGA with different layouts....(My HTC Universal and my incoming Athena need it :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
so i will create also pressed buttons.

For VGA... once completed the qvga.. we can give it a try.. however for the end of april i have to finish a website first.

..For the highlighted buttons with the D-Pad.. can be make a glass effect with a trasparent button, but that NEED an alpha channel.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cicciocant:
Grazie skizzo.

Ho provato in qvga ma e' proprio bruttino sul 9000.

Saludos.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
speriamo ciccio... :D

would be great if instead of replace the pressed image, the app overlay the image, so we can save ~16 images (and space) because BT has 4 images (8 with pressed state), but if only the BT logo is interested (look the pictures into #237 post, 1 page ago), i can make a trasparent image that overlays it, with a total of unpressed/pressed images, for BT, of 5 :D

However i have no problems to make all images, perhaps maybe that the trasparent image occupies the triple space.. however someone + able than me can do better with an overlayed pressed image..

I hope we are around the 700Kb of space only for the skin (i have never quantified it, only the buttons are ~400Kb, todays transparent images are a little big)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
OK no problem. Overlay image for pressed state.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
oops hehe my idea is good, but i cannot apply it because i have overlayed some text into the pictures... i've saved only 2 images.. however with a different button layout design the images can be saved... see the pictures below.. the same image is into 4 different buttons that with a mask can be highlighted... but where is the text it goes down...

However... pressed state pictures completed ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
dont worry. Overlay image is optional and pressed images too. Pressed images maybe could be used when the focus is in the button. In this way when the user uses the jog dial there would a pretty effect. What do you think?

More things. Soon I will start with strenght bars. Any idea would be nice now. May long images (f.e. thermometer) and cmp cuts it according the percentage. Or maybe cmp doesnt cut it but could apply a gray filter in the upper part (f.e,if level is 75 then part 76-100 would be grayed or something similar.

dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
ok, if you can build cmp in a way that it cut an image, according to the percentage, UNDER a mask i hope there are *a lot* of skinning possibilities, for example, i can do a thermometer with a trasparent vertical area that is the mask, and put an image with a gradient in background that cmp cut according to the signal/battery percentage.

Edit: However i hope that the pressed images can be used when the focus is in the button.. but no more than 5-8 sec..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JohanDC:
Hey daniel, great work so far, I don't know if it has been discussed before (didn't read the entire thread) but there is one feature that is really missing for me, being able to control the volume level...

I would love to be able to set the volume level at a normal level during the day except for in the morning where I use my phone as an alarm, so during this timeframe I would love to be able to set the volume level to maximum, any idea whether you could add this to your great app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi JohanDC.

This feature will be ready very soon.Indeed little work to implement It is needed. Now I am finishing the skin engine. I guess this week will be ready with layouts for square screens, qvga, vga, real vga and w-vga. Then I will begin to add actions:

1) Control the volume level.

2) Forward calling. I didnt think It was intesting but many people have emailed me requesting this feature.

3) Send SMS and mail...

4) Be able to open multiple files, not only one.

5) Acctions associated to the end of a schedule.

6) This list is open for users request, of course :D

Running beta 16, I'm seeing a conflict with Sprite Backup.

I'm at work, and CommMgr is set up to set my phone to vibrate.

When I run Sprite Backup, it launches.. resets the phone and when it comes back up Sprite tries to launch to do the backup, and CommMgr is trying to set the phone to vibrate. They seem to get into a prolonged battle :) and the phone stays vibrating for longer than I cared to let it continue.

So I changed my "work" config to not set the phone to vibrate. Sprite Backup still would not launch after it does its soft reset.

So I uninstalled CommMgrPro and the backup is working.

Anyone see this?

Cheers,

Mike
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Mike.

I dont use sprite backup but spb backup but I will try it. Usually when cmp starts It sets the device as user wants depending on location and time and It takes some seconds. Its usally too when backup programs start up after reset they try to close all the programs to do the backup but cmp can be changing device state so It can reject to be closed in that moment and It can abort sprite backup . I cant remember if sprite backup keeps a list of "programs that must NOT be closed"

before performing a backup....?

Dani

pd: Spb backup doesnt reset the device before backup and It closes processes gracefully (sending WM_CLOSE) to window process but It gives some seconds to them to close. I ve just launched a backup and can see (watching logs) how CMP needs some seconds to close (needs to close EDB DataBase and perform management of system queue) but spb backup waits for it. Maybe sprite has no enough patient? Anyway just added to my "to-do" list a option for "fast closing".....

Thanks for the info :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Just for testing. Could you install this version and try again with sprite backup?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
GREAT! i'm impatient to view how like my skin showed on the PDA :D

Also i can start a "beta period" to view what to change/modify (with ur help)

Once ready the qvga skin, i can start to resize 4 others resolutions (it was + simple if i was started from an higher resolution & then reduced it.. however i hope there will be no problems, because the used images are of an original size of 128x128 and into photoshop i've not rasterized it )

- Don't forget the IP/dns settings (4 a location based program + wifi is VERY GREAT... profiling+auto switch)

- On exit location actions (and keep it until known location is reached)

- If you want, Beam

- Remove the time request when an hw component is disabled (someone tells that with the phone U can make an ecception)

- Timed Lock? have you think about it? :D :p

- Ring file for SMS/Call

- Startup with 5-8 sec. of delay (so the trayicon goes to the left... i hate it into the corner!!!.. i've renamed the startuplink with a "z" before.. and 2 times on 5 it show the icon on the left; maybe also that when i have to enter the PIN & commgrpro starts, it minimize the phone app, i'm not sure of that, because sometimes happens and sometimes don't
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] macaw68:
auto switch off ringer

i was wondering if it was possible to have something in this program that you could have it set the ringer to off when an appontment in calender occurs? i have a program that does that now, but like having all the other features of this one and was affraid the two might conflict. i currently use ppcprofiles to change profiles based on appointments.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Re you talking about execute actions based on date/time (easy and nice idea) or bassed on calendar appointments?(great idea too but no so simple because it requires pim managment)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] macaw68:
appointment

i was actually talking about based on appointment, so if i have a meeting in my schedule the ringer would automatically turn off. wasn't sure how complicated that was, just an idea. by the way i can confirm that the comm mgr pro will override the settings in my ppcprofile.(kinda figured it would.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
well I will see what can I do in simple way.

Anyway if the appoitment is in unknown place cmp wont change any setting. And if the meeting is in known place cmp will change settings only if during meeting happens a change of time frame schedule. If it doesnt happens cmp wont change any setting stablished for any other program....

dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] macaw68:
ppcprofile

i have included a link to the ppcprofile source code forum. i don't know if there is anyhting there that might help in adding the profile switch based on appointments, or if it would be proper to integrate parts of it into what you are doing here, with his permission of course. i'm just trying to help as i can as i don't know much about the programming of this stuff.

Dont worry. Soon :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

What to do mean exactly with "install process appears again"?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Good news. Finally I took a HTC Touch Pro 2 so I can continue working very fast in CMP. These days I ve been working with and old Kaiser because my X1 was broken and was using HTC Dream. Hope fix all problems quickly and release the new version (rules based) very soon.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TROTAMAR:
Daniel,

I deleted totally CMP some days ago.

Today I have tryed to install again and it is running well for the moment (version 2.53)

But just to give you an idea of what I mean with my latest post, when I say reinstall again and again is after deleting CMP and trying to install again I get the attached screen many times and I can not stop the process and I need to do many softrests.

Please check the attached images

Screen01 is just the first installation

Screen02 is if I try to start CMP after installing

Maybe 5-6 times (softreset and reintallation of Skyn) the process stop alone. Then if I try to star CMP I get the screen 4 and 5, but can not see CMP main screen. At that time is when I feel that CMP is running on the background, because if I softreset my PDA, phone pin is set authomatically.

I am afraid maybe I would have this problem again in the future, so if you can comment now it will help me next time I have the problem and I will have something to do and repair.

Best regards,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

There is an special directory called \Program Files\CommMgrPro\cabs. If CMP detects a cab in that directory will try to install it. In that directory CMP put the cab themes. Then on start CMP installs them and then DELETE them. It measn CMP is installing the cab file but CANT remove it. Simply delete all the files in cab directory and you wont have that problem again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
daniel, is there a way to combine the new beta and the Skizzo skin into one installer file?

I tried the other single file installer but it always installed the QVGA skin....

or maybe a new version of the app with skin included.... (hint hint... lol)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TROTAMAR:
Thanks for the answer Daniel.

Do you have a sugestion for screen 4 and 5?

Best regards,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe dont worry, I will combine them... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Is this related with the cab install loop problem? Or once cmp is correctly installed sometimes doesnt launch correctly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Hi D

Long time since last post :p

I have forgotten if this has already been stated as a bug or an issue that needs to be looked at/discussed..

When I have a locked schedule like 20-21 and another from 21-23 another temporary selections will not work.

Like; I choose to start wifi at 20:55 and want it active for 20 minutes. But because a locked schedules begins at 21 wifi is turned off..

I believe it should be that selections made by user are always ahead of ANY locked or time based schedule. By that you can always overrule any schedules or tasks planned and be sure that CMP returns to locked/planned schedules when user interventions is over..

Another; If I have a locked schedule that turns my phone off - it does so, even if I am on the phone speaking...imagine ;)...not so good :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hi :)

Dont worry, the rules engine lets you set priorities between rules and even user actions.....

How to control ActiveSync's "automatic" activities?

Hi all,

I'm wondering, if there's a way to control ActiveSync's "automatic" activieties. My problem is: When I'm away (profile Unknown) I want ActiveSync to be active and connected. This works fine. But when I'm at Home or at Office, I want my Data-Connection to be off and stay off (to save data traffic an even more important to save battery). The problem is, although I set my "Home"-profile OnStart = disable all connections, ActiveSync keeps running and even sometimes connected. Even if it does disconnect, ActiveSync keeps on trying to connect again and again, which at least costs a lot of battery.

So how can I prevent ActiveSync from constantly trying to reconnect without desabling it completely (so it applies only in Home and Office profiles)?

Searched already a lot, but couldn't find an answer yet.

Any help is very welcome!

Best regards,

Tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi¡

Still fighting agains widcomm bt stack. If no sucess today or tomorrow I will continue with rules..... ;)

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Tom.

One of the actions that will be developed very soon is to enable/disable activesync and configure its schedule ("as items arrive", "manually", etc).

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I got it¡¡¡¡

I ve unasambled BT Widcomm Stack and I can turn radio on/off programatically (the problem was to turn it off) for HTC Diamond2 and HTC TouchPro2. Including it to CommMgrPro right now :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
Does b2 support rules?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Rules engine is being developed in other branch. In this way I can fix bugs in V2.6 without affect the new features.....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
IMPORTANT NEWS¡¡

Finally I think the best option is to create a new CMP IF I find a "touch-aware" library for C++ and free. These are the reasons that carried me.

I want to:

1) I am creating a completly new rules engine completly different from current way to work

2) A completly new interface, finger based, similar to S2U2 and using DirectDraw 3D features.

3) I want to make CMP much lighter and let the users choose to apply plugins, like Battery monitor, etc, etc, etc

4) I want to decouple totally CMP into a windows service and a GUI. The windows service will expose a well defined interface implemented to the GUI (one or more). So CMP will be very light and fast.

5) Dont worry, I wont create it from scratch. 95% of the code will be imported from CMP. Its just to wire components and write a little new code

I need your help to make suggestions about the rule's engine I am developing. As you know all is based on priorizated rules. The left side is clause with AND and OR operators. If the rule is matched then the right side is applied and can be anything: Execute a profile (set of actions), execute an individual action....

Some examples....

1) IF (Cell belongs to "Home" AND Weekdays is monday-friday AND TIME > 19:00 AND TIME < 23:00) OR (battery level < 30) THEN execute Profile "HOME workday "

The profile "HOME workday" is simply a set of actions.

2) IF (battery level < 20) THEN play a song (its a simple action).

When an event (new cell, time changed, battery changed, etc) enter the rules engine all the rules will be checked and, from the ones that matches the conditions only the most important will be applied...

Well, I would like to know your opinions, suggestions, etc, etc

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
You already know mine.

What I'd like to add in the thread is that people should give their suggestions for both the "left" (or rule or event or trigger) and the "right" (or action) sides.

Let me start with whatever is already mentioned or already included in the current CMP:

Triggers:

- Named GPS Location (area)

- Names GSM Cell Location (set of cells)

- CLID

- CLID set (you could use single CLID and use them with "OR" but sometimes is useful to have complete sets under a single name, esp. with wildcards)

- Mail sender

- Outlook contact

- Outlook category

- SMS CLID

- Date (dates should support also ranges and >/</<>/=)

- Time (as in dates)

- Power level

- Calendar event

- Traffic in a data connection

- ...and all current states of things controlled by actions (! for example trigger something IF bluetooth is on)

Actions:

- Named sets of... actions

- Bluetooth on/off/discoverable/last

- WiFi on/off/last

- Speaker off/set level/last level

- Ringer off/set level/last level

- Phone on/off/last

- Connections off/on/last (detailed for each connection)

- Band (whatever the phone allows)/last

- Beam on/off/last

- Send SMS (with preset text, support variables)

- Send EMail (with preset text, support variables)

- Sync Account

- Delete received SMS (applies only to receive SMS trigger)

- Mute received SMS (applies only to receive SMS trigger)

- Remind SMS after (applies only to receive SMS trigger)

- Remind SMS instant (applies only to receive SMS trigger)

- Send SMS to sender (applies only to receive SMS trigger)

- Forward SMS to (applies only to receive SMS trigger)

- Hang up received call (applies only to inbound call trigger)

- Mute received call (applies only to inbound call trigger)

- Send SMS with details (applies only to inbound call trigger)

- Send email with details (applies only to inbound call trigger)

- Remind call after (applies only to inbound call trigger)

- Remind call instant (applies only to inbound call trigger, makes sense if CMP hangs up the call first)

- Send SMS to caller (applies only to inbound call trigger)

- Send SMS to caller if no answer (applies only to inbound call trigger)

- Delete email (applies only to inbound email trigger)

- Move to outlook folder (applies only to inbound email trigger)

- Reply to sender (applies only to inbound email trigger, with preset text, support variables)

- Remind mail after (applies only to inbound email trigger)

- Remind mail instant (applies only to inbound email trigger, makes sense if CMP has deleted the mail first)

- Fordward email (applies only to inbound email trigger)

- Power on/screen off/soft off/switch off/reset device

- Call forwarding set

- Vibrate (as an indicator for action)

- Play WAV/MP3/beep

- Open a file with default handler

- Run program

- Close program

- Set Today theme (select)/last

- Set brightness off/level/auto/last

- Set ringtone settings (select)/last

- Send location to server

- Send location to SMS

- Send location to email

Remember all (or most) action object statuses should also be in trigger side!

Now people also need to add their ideas...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
Daniel, if you could work out some way to sort incoming sms' into folders that would be a *MUCH* appreciated

it would be nice if there was a way to have it start the gps application when you put the phone into the car, but there's no way to trigger "in the car"
