D - have you made some tricks on battery use with this version? It seems that my battery level has improved when idle over night...

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
I was going to say it works for me, but you already found it only affects square devices (btw guys do move on to more "WM" resolutions some time soon :P).

My question is... how can you possibly test cell history with the emulator???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe nothing special but the big memory reduction... :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Nick

As you know you can enable the test menu setting the registry key debug-info to 1. In this menu there are 2 interesting entries: start/stop test cell change. Starting it the cmp cell manager begins to change the cell id incrementally each two seconds and propagating it to cmp. The rest of the cmp components think its real :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
hehehehe ok
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
This ...might be interesting to the developer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe If you try to be president of Spain I will vote you for sure... :D

That is the next thing I will try to do althought I cant promise sucess. I developed drivers with c and asm years ago and I loved that world. Its complicated but I like the dificult objectives.

pd. If I finally sucess on it, I hope wm7 keeps the 32 processes limit :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
hahahaha ok I read you ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tovarish:
Hi daniel

where can i buy your program. I also have to habit of changing my rom version quite frequently. Will I need a different key each time I change the rom in my device.

thanks,

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

You can get a license on www.commmgrpro.com using paypal or card.

Updates are free for ever. No prob if you change your rom or device if you keep the device owner name. If you need to change just tell me and I would send you the new code for that device owner name.

Greetings

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tovarish:
thanks for the quick response. I just bought it using paypal. which new developments are planned?

tovarish.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Tovarish.

The version 2.5.1 has just been released this weekend. Probably I will try to discover how much time would cost (in time) to convert CMP in a service and the positive and negative points. I will post here the results and we will discuss about it. There are some other actions pending to include, like "Sync push mail" and others. Please feel free to post here what you are missing in CMP :D

Dani.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimmydu3:
are you still going to take a look at "launch profiles based on gps / cdma" for 2.51?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

It isnt really a problem of cdma networks but some carriers, like spring. They say they havent implemented the api function but they will do. Other discussion is profiles based on gps and I ve started to do it but It will take a few days/week. Lets say you can flag a position and a range. pe: current position and 200 square meters is my home....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Using GPS is a whole new ball game.

Involves power management, how good signal you can get (esp. if you don't hold the device properly to GET GPS signal) etc.

I wish you luck - just try not to get confused by the wrong feedback you'll get from users (fight bugs that aren't there and it's just the usage or the GPS itself that is flaky).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tovarish:
I have a suggestion for a new feature. If the application could detect motion (like navigation softwares, cells changing per time) then we can have a "Motion" profile. In this profile we can set stuff like call auto answer, auto email/sms reply etc. I cycle a lot so I would find this feature quite useful.

tovarish
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

In fact I dont really know if gps is a good solution. Well, here is the "to-do" list. Please people, vote your preferences :)

The sort order isnt important.

1) profiles activated by GPS (instead of GSM-cell).

cons: very soon all the oems will implemente the complete RIL api and probably GPS activation wont be used. To avoid drain the battery CMP should try to get GPS coordenates each x minutes but then, you could be in a building so CMP wont know where you are.

2) CMP as a service. cons: The 32 MB assigned to services.exe must be shared by all the services. Many key aspects of CMP needs a handled to a active and maybe hidden window to get events (for example, this is the way used by windows to comunicate events about connections). And a window needs a process to run. So its a long road and no guaranties about success.

3) Today plugin showing missed calls, missing mails, etc. Probably today would be overlapped by manila, or spb mobile shell, etc

4) New action: Activate or deactivate profile.

5) Improve CMP web.

6) Improved action to keep state. For example, on enter: Bluetooth on and keep state. So if windows turns BT off cmp would turn it on again. Same for wifi, connections, etc, etc

7) New action. Upload gps coords to the server or not

8) Allow to change the weekdays when you edit an action.

9) Add command params to the action "Open file"

10) Allow to copy actions or schedules between profiles.

11) Impreve sms and email actions to choose outlook contacts.

12) Allow to export xml data where you want

13) CMP web server. Allow to select a date range and see the trip in google maps.

14) CMP web version pda

15) Wizard during first run to customize the program easily, creating an example profile, etc

16) New action: Reset Radio

17) New action: Pick up a phone in third (for example) ring. Useful driving car or bike. Now It would be an option for the action Virtual Secretariat.

18) Activate automatically a profile when motion is detected (when cell changes "x" times in "y" minutes

Please add your own requests and lets discuss the development order....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Good idea. Added to "to-do" list
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tovarish:
I prefer using only cell information since they are much less granular than gps coordinates. gps could be useful if we can set x1 <= lat <=x1, y1 <= long <= y2 (so in rectangular blocks of areas).

While having cmp as a service is a good idea in principle if it too complex to implement then it is better to use that effort to develop other features.

Personally i dont have a need for such a feature. I like to keep my today screen clean

good idea

Useful if cell info is linked to actual location like in google maps.

also could be useful to remember previous state eg. remember bluetooth state, on enter change state, on exit restore remembered state.

could be useful to track a stolen or lost phone like the application WIMP.

or start application, esp useful in conjunction with mortscript.

ah google maps was mentioned already.

my wishes exactly.

I would also like more options to disable actions while roaming like sending smses or answering calls immediately.

thanks,

tovarish
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks Tovarish.

A few coments.

CMP can upload cell changes and take the current GPS coords so you would see your movements in google maps.

Its already implemented. Many actions (like bluetooth, speaker, connections) have the state "Restore State". An example, on enter: Speaker off, on exit: Restore speaker state. This will set the speaker with the last state before mute.

The action "Open file" is designed to let you run a program. In fact you will see all the programs installated on the device. But you can use it to open a link, or a mp3, a word doc, etc.

A good idea would be to activate a profile when roaming is detected. With that profile you could configure how the device should behave....Added to the list :D

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blau69:
Were you able to get any kind of time frame from Sprint on when they will open the API?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ULI22:
CMP Road Map

Here's my Top Five:

Much Bigger Icons (easy selectable by finger) in Today plugin + in general a better VGA adaptation with readable icons + font-sizes

New action. Upload gps coords to the server or not

CMP web server. Allow to select a date range and see the trip in google maps + CMP web version for PDA

New action: Activate or deactivate profile.

Activate automatically a profile when motion is detected (when cell changes "x" times in "y" minutes

Hi

V2.5.1 has a dialog bug in VGA/Cell History/Landscape mode. Simply replace the file commmgrpro.exe with this one. I dont do a new release because I am waiting to fix more bugs....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Hi

Have comments on new improvements - will post later :)

First: I might have a bug in 2.5.1 regarding the default profile...

1) It seems that default profile does not load its settings when activated.

If I have a profile activated - like SILENCE for - lets say 10 minutes - the default profile does not load its profiles settings on SPEAKER and LIGHT settings when SILENCE ends.. Those stay as the previous profile settings..

They only change in DEFAULT according to settings is if given a time slot - but when time slot ends, default still goes back to the previous profiles settings... (Like car or silence or whatever)

Another maybe bug

2) When I try to activate a profile outside its time slot - the little window comes up telling me that the profile does not have time settings for use now... That window wont go away and I have to soft reset to make it go away..

3) I have seen examples where CMP does not load the right profile.. Sometimes my night profile or morning profile is not loaded... Its still one of the time profiles from earlier..

4) I cannot get the secretary to send out sms without freezing the phone. I have set it to answer all calls and SMS with an answer when my MEETING profile is activated. Now - My group is called ALL and have only one member called ** That does not work as a rule for all numbers. So how do I get the secretary profile to send out the message to all incoming SMS and phonecalls?

:)

Aaahh - I love to play with this program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
wow thanks Martin. You re a nice bug hunter. Tomorrow I will test each case and will fix them. I love bugs because I need to fix a few ones before release 2.5.2 (re bug fixing over 2.5).

One tip, to make a rule that includes all the people there is an special group called "all the people". No need to use wilcards

Improvements

About new features..

I have listed the ones I find nice and needed - the rest are not any I find important for now

4) New action: Activate or deactivate profile.

- Yes - good feature

8) Allow to change the weekdays when you edit an action.

- very important and useful

9) Add command params to the action "Open file"

- yup

10) Allow to copy actions or schedules between profiles.

- This is really an improvement. Really needed - perhaps the most important update...

11) Improve sms and email actions to choose outlook contacts.

- nice

18) Activate automatically a profile when motion is detected (when cell changes "x" times in "y" minutes

- Nice and needed. Could be cool if MOTION could be used for recording and area or route.

Have an idea;

Is it possible to let CMP close services, normal apps and system programs? Why? when I go to sleep I have a night schedule and it could be rather cool if all programs and services that are not totally needed could be closed to save battery. I might even use this feature in my daily schedules too. For example; I dont need Activesync and SIP when driving. And Manila or any sensor or whatever plugin could be closed when I am in a meeting - and then restartet when I finish my meeting...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Martin

Confirmed. Fixing....

Couldnt confirm it. I ve done several test and all working. Could you repeat the test to discard a random crash?. If the issue remains could you send me your database telling me the problematic profile and the time when you do the test

I havent seen any problem. If you can isolate the issue send me the database and instructions about the problems. Three months ago your "special" db was crucial to find and fix hidden bugs in cmp related with schedules "execute in any place" :)

Could you do a test? First of all you ve to enable the "Test" menu. So change the registry key HKLM\Software\Daniel Herrero\CommMgrPro\debug_info to 1. Then restart CMP. Then select menu/test/send sms and try to send it. Lets see if your issue is related with sending sms or with VS.

Greetings....

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

Fixed some bugs related with unknown profile, included the one reported by Martin. Uploaded in first post as V2.5.2b2

Greetings

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
2.5.2b8

Hi.

I ve uploaded V2.5.2b8 in first post. Changes:

Version V2.5.2b8(2009-03-03)

1) CMP can run now as a Windows service or as a normal process. You can change it in options3. Using Windows service by default.

2) Clean up of english texts by NLS

3) Bug fixing.

The most important feature is the posibility to run as a service. In this way we ve some benefits.

1) Two processes less running. In this way we avoid to reach the 32 processes limit in WM.

2) The killer (HTC Task manager) wont kill CMP when he is bored.......

Please install as soon as possible and report any bug......

Thanks¡

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Some days ago I was talking with Martin how to disable automatic executions. He uses profiles "Execute in any place" and when he unlock a profile it is auto locked again by cmp so there must be some way to let cmp choose the current schedule but without executing their actions. For example, his night profile is "Execute in any place" and set the phone off. If he wants to make a call phone he has to set the phone on. CMP detects this event and is processed by the schedule engine who decides to reactivate the night profile, turnning the phone off. So I will create two menu options.

1) Pause CMP, with or without timelimit. CMP wont execute automatically the actions of the schedules. But you can manage the buttons to turn BT on, etc.

2) Resume CMP....

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok, here is. V2.5.2b9 in first post

You can pause CMP with or without time limit. When CMP is paused wont execute schedule's actions so for example, if your current "execute in any place" schedule turns phone off the you will be able to pause CMP some minutes and turn the phone on.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Well pause is dangerously close to "restart CMP"... maybe "restart CMP" now needs an "are you sure?" dialog...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
no prob....:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Great new feature in CMP regarding pause..

Have something on my mind...

When we have a locked profile turned on and would like to unlock it for some 20 minutes CMP will try to force the locked profile back - unless we are VERY fast and choose another profile.

NOW - "Pause" can be used and I find that feature very needed. Another way could be to have a default in CMP the delay the "return" of the locked profile with some 10 seconds...

In that way a user will have enough time from unlocking a profile and to select a new (temporary) before CMP try to force the locked profile..

What do you think guys?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Martin.

I ve an idea to lock a profile being in a EIAP schedule.

1) Pause CMP.

2) Lock the new profile. This is the part that I should develop. Very small. Being paused you will be able to lock profiles. It will resume CMP and lock the new profile.

is it right?

Hey, I ve to stop developing and free an official release because V2.5.1 have some bugs fixed in 2.5.2 and many users and reporting it by email and looking for a fix. Does the service work correctly in your devices?I should free 2.5.2 today or tomorrow....:cool:

Greetings

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok, I ve uploaded b10. Being paused you can lock any profile. CMP will be resumed automatically.

I only will fix bugs before free the official V2.5.2. Please let me know if you detect some bug because the Service change could impact the CMP's core. ONce it is release I will continue with the "to-do" list commented a few posts above, starting by the choosen by users.....

Hi

Thanks to a use (Anja) I ve discovered a strange bug that happened in dialogs with icon list that could crashes....Solved in b11
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
suggestions from Jaroslaw:

1. There will be very nice to have PC program to play with profiles -

changing them with big keyboard and mouse is completely different comfort.

2. Option to change ringtones for SMS, MMS, MAIL, Rings according to

profile can be nice

3. Option to change above for groups of contacts according to profiles

can be nice

Tomorrow I will begin 2.5.3b1

hi,

what about skin support for Samsung i780 (320x320) at 96dpi ? I believe the current square support is at 240x240 and 128dpi.

also, can we have an option to remove the icon from today screen when CMP is running ?

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi¡

In options 2 there is a check box called "Tray icon". Uncheck it and the icon will disappear. About the skin, I will ask the skin designer if he is going to adapt the square skin to 320x320.

Problem

Hey

Have a question;

I cannot get CMP to accept another profile if a locked one is activated..

I have a night schedule that is to execute always in the evening. Whenever I try to pause or change this with another profile for x minutes, CMP overrules that choice and re-enable the locked schedule...?

HELP: CMP Installation problems on stock Fuze

Hoping some one can help me. Feeling very frustrated with problems getting my purchased Commmgr Pro to run. A few versions back it was running well. Installed the latest versions (over the last week) and it won't show up as running. I have an HTC Fuze with unmodified stock rom.

Prior to installing latetest version, I completely uninstalled prev versions. The install seems to progress properly, I reboot and it asks me for my registration info. I enter that and reboot. Once rebooted I can see the commmgr pro icon on screen indicating that it is starting up... and then it just freezes there, nothing further happens. The phone itself is not frozen, if I start running another program, the Commmgr booting indicator disappears and the other programs run normally. There is nothing to indicate that Commmgr is running past this point. No CMP icon in lower right hand corner of the screen, nothing on the today screen. Under today screen options, I do see a selection for commmgr and that is checked, so should be there on the today screen, but it isn't.

Can any one help with this connundrum?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi¡

1) Sent en email to Spring. Still waiting for response. They should include the api in next rom releases.
