Battery Memory Usage issues with H++?

I've recently started using H++ and really like it. I noticed today that my battery seems to run down more quickly. Have any of you also noticed this? Is it worse with more registry trackers? I'm also using spb diary and weather panel, so perhaps one of those also has known battery issues?

The same goes with memory usage. Are there known leaks with H++, or perhaps weather panel or spb diary?

In short, if there are problems with H++, then I don't want to spend too much time customizing it.

Thanks,

John

Hi,

Could someone take a look at my screenshot and maybe offer some help? I just started working with themes today but I feel I dont quite understand the coding. For some reason when I try to put the Cell Strength on the screen, the Icon appears in one place and the rating (100% appears in another).. I dont understand how to get them together on the bottom left.

Here is my .xml code (some stolen from dag):

i am putting together my own taskbar and need the keys to see if the phone is in U, G, E or H reception area and if the phone has an active data connection.

are the following keys the correct ones? could somebody please provide me with some more values please?

HKLM\System\State\Phone\Cellular System Available

8 and 9 = Edge

64 and 65 = HSDPA

? = GPRS

? = Umts

HKLM\System\State\Phone\Cellular System Connected

SOLVED: reg keys for active/available data connection

for those of you, who decided to create their own taskbar. here are the regkeys for displaying the current active/available connection status:

HKLM\System\State\Phone\

KEYS:

Cellular System Connected

Cellular System Available

VALUES:

GPRS = 1

XRTT = 2

EVDO = 4

EDGE = 8

UMTS/3G = 16

EVDV = 32

HSDPA = 64

i have seen that the key "Cellular System Available" sometimes has a value incremented by +1.

bug when using the attribute "animate"?

is anybody already working with the animate-attribute?

i have seen the following behaviour with this code:

<Row >
<View animate="109">
[content for view#1 here]
</View>

<View animate="109">
[content for view#2 here]
</View>

<View animate="109">
[content for view#3 here]
</View>
</Row>

animate="109" means: sliding the finger from right to left, the next view will be displayed (like a rotating cube)

however, when doing this on the last view (view #3), the first view will be displayed, that's correct, but the animation is wrong. in this case the cube is not rotating from right to left, but from left to right.

am i doing something wrong or is it a bug or a feature...?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mayen:
same here :confused:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
i have a 4 x 4 icon arrangement to launch programs.

do you also have the problem that animation does not work when sliding over spaces? you have to slide over the icons to make animation work.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] daryelv:
The 109 means that it uses animation 9 but will do left-right switching depending on which View you're switching from and to. If the new View is to the left or right of the current View, it will rotate that direction. So, when you're at the last View and switch to the first View, it goes the opposite direction because it sees the views as 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 linearly instead of like a ring (... 0 -1 - 2 - 3 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 0 ....).

Daryel
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
thanks for the explanation. maybe it was designed as is, but don't you think it would make sense that 109-switching behaves like a "ring"?

maybe chi-tai can change that if it is not too timeconsuming.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
another weird thing:

the height of a text written with by label (fontsize="24") is smaller than an icon of the same size.

i mean the file itself has the dimension of 24x24.

may it is because i have a vga display, but in this case the height should be half of the size of the other

:confused:

sorry for posting so much at the moment, but i want to get my new skin going
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dave.:
:) try to use the edit function.

your question: strange is the fact that a fontsize can be negativ (-14)??
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
sorry, i am not with you. what do you mean?

the fontsize can be indeed negativ.

either it is a fixed size like the above or it is relative (+2 or -2)

With the help of A_C i have found a solution to automaticly select the actual city for my weather script. Many thanks for this. So now i have a update for the theme you can found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2417122&postcount=980. The update belongs to the script, that pulls the weather data from Spb Weather. Please rename weather.txt to weather.mscr and place the file in your /My Documents folder.

Have fun with the script and the theme.

my Ribbon theme using animate=110

many thanks to ikarus for his great program

here is the video I've made (with a green splash of TT7 )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FabDi91xa8

for making that effect , I have remove slide="1" from my appLauncher view and inserted animate="110" into the Row "Main"

I have mailed to ikarus because I think the cube animation is too much quick ( difficult to see the cub LOL) , his program is too much optmzed LOL
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dave.:
thx egoist for explaning.

here is a question from me:

i need a (mort)script wich read a regkey and write another key. i want to read the connectionkey and write the clear conntype (G,3G,H) in another. hwo can help?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
did anybody tried to visualize the wifi signal strength (like phone signal)?

i have seen that HS provides some dB data by using wifi_state class but how is it possible to use them as a parameter for icon-source?

i was hoping to find a registry key for this (have started a post for this in the development section).

anybody has an idea?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
not sure what you want to achieve. i am not familiar with mortscript but the command for the script is

RegWriteString("HKxx", "\Path\", "Key", "Value")
RegWriteDWord("HKxx", "\Path\", "Key", "Value")

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
welcome back!

greetings from sunny munich to augsburg...

ikarus, may i put together some questions from my posts above which are left open and drivng me nuts (especially the third one)

is it designed as is or a bug that sliding views (animate="109") from the last view to the first one is shown from left to right instead from right to left?

how is it possible to make animation work when sliding over spaces (those between icons or labels) if you hava a 4 x 4 icon view spread over the whole screen, you always have to watch to make the finger gestures exactly over one icon row)

any idea how to create a "wifi bar" which shows you the signal strength/quality (like the one for phone signal)

"registrysetstring.exe 3" only seem to close apps on a windows-overlay basis. if you try to close e.g. notes while in edit mode, you have to run "registrysetstring.exe 3" three times instead of twice
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] phucker:
Hello XDA!

So i'm finally breaking my posting cherry after lurking this forum for a few months. I have been available to fix and understand everything so far, without having to ask.

But everything has and end doesn't it?

With some experience in basic programming i figured out how to modify some of the themes. But this is where i'm stuck:

I downloaded the BennTech Uberbinary clock (thank you by the way, it's truly awesome! :) ) but i really miss some of the features the original HTC home display has.

Does anyone know how i can add them to the UI?

The ones i'm after are the special rows for favorite contacts, i love that you can add pictures to them. I currently wield a HTC TyTN II, if that gives you a better picture of what menu i'm referring to.

Thanks for all that this great forum has given me, and this post ask a question already posted somewhere else, i will remove it.

Best regards

//Phucker
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
greetz back :)

the semester has started and there is a lot of work to do hehe.. so sorry for the late reply

this could be changed.

Please add a feature request to the discussion place http://www.chi-tai.info/discuss and i'll consider this next time i have time to continue development.

same as before

no idea.. maybe a feature request

yes it is simulating the "[x]" or "[ok]"-button.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
what i meant is the following:

if you are editing notes (notes.exe) and you press the "x", it saves the notes document and closes the editor and you will see a listview of all your notes files.

when closing the app with "registrysetstring.exe 3" it closes the first overlay window so that your note text disappears, but the editor is still open. only after another execution of "registrysetstring.exe 3" it closes the editor and you see the listview of your notes.

notes is not the only app where "registrysetstring.exe 3" is not working properly. i have the same problem with total commander.

some other apps (like clock&alarms or wifi of the control panel) cannot be closed at all.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dave.:
here is the script (thx to grandmaster Mort)

Repeat (500)

Net = "unknown"
Switch( RegRead( "HKLM", "System\State\Phone", "Cellular System Connected" ) )
Case(0)
Net = "X"
Case(1)
Net = "GPRS"
Case(16)
Net = "3G"
Case(64)
Net = "HSDAP"
EndSwitch

RegWriteString( "HKCU", "Software\My\App\Info", "Net", Net )

sleep(3000)

EndRepeat

i add it as a ontap startapp to the regtracker. cool stuff.

have fun
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
hi dave.

still not sure what you want to achieve. if you want to display the active connection, it is easier to put the text into a bitmap file and access it by

<filename>%d.

or probably you need the script for something completely different
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dave.:
this scrit just translate the connection type fron d word to a word i choosed. so if the con is 16 the script write 3G to another string. and i read this with a regtracker. soni don't need the bitmaps to display. i try to use no bitmaps. onla regtracher. understand now what i mean? if not send me a pm and i explain it in german maybe my subsription is not so good :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
i understand you perfectly :)

what the script does was clear to me, not what you want to achieve. but now i understand. you pursue a different approach - very interesting.

let me know once you have finished your skin.

i like to know about the performance/battery drain if you have several of those scripts running. maybe battery drain becomes better because of loading/displaying less grafics.

i experienced a higher battery drain with homescreen++

How do I get the email button to go to my GMAIL inbox instead of the outlook inbox? If the email says 0, it will definitely goes to my outlook page. But if there's unread email in there, it will go to my messaging main page. Help me! :eek::)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
you better post the corresponding part of the xml file, too. that will make helping you much easier.

make sure your button config looks like this:

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="\Windows\tmail.exe ::-service "GMAIL"" >
<image src="mail.png" left="..." top="..." />
<label align="left" left="..." top="..." text="%d" bold="1" height="26" width="30" fontsize="26" color="555555" valign="top" >
<registry key_value="HKCU\System\State\Messages\OtherEmail\Unread\Count" />
</label>

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jtanoyo1:
Thanks for the answer, buddy. But my gmail push email service is run by Seven. Even after I downloaded and installed the Seven application, it would create the gmail mailbox automatically. So, in the xml file, should it still say gmail or Seven? Thanks once again.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jtanoyo1:
Hmm, egoist6, that doesn't work. Now, if the email button says 0, when I click on it, it doesn't do anything. If there's unread email, it still goes to my messaging main page (where there is sms/mms, jtanoyo (gmail), outlook)....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
you have to repace GMAIL with the exact name of your email account name.

what i see in your post, that the name is jtanoyo (gmail).

it should now work with the following:

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="\Windows\tmail.exe ::-service "jtanoyo (gmail)"" >
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jtanoyo1:
Nice. I got it to work finally. I guess the stylus had to be perfectly touching the correct spot on the image "@" otherwise it doesn't do anything.... but yeah, "jtanoyo (Gmail)" works fine. Thanks a lot for the help, bro. :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
that only depends on the size of the image or label.

you can either increase the size of "@" itself or increase the "frame" around the "@".

when your "@" is a label then increase height and width, set align="center", valign="middle" and leave fontsize as it is.

thus you can tap in the neighbourhood of the "@" and it will still run the app

The clocks and themes here are for the HomeScreen ++ (formerly known as BatteryStatus) not for HTC home.

You can rename any of the clock files found here to use with HTC home - but you need to know what your doing and how to use them within HTC home.

Hi

Look in the pics directory, where you have 0.png, 1.png etc..., there's also an "empty.png" if it is not displaying a "0 ", make a copy of "0.png" and name it "empty.png". Overwrite the original and reload the theme, that should work.
