[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
sorry dubble post
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Wow, that looks very nice!! :D. Thanks for the feedback. I now see some "look & feel" related bug/improvements for my app thanks to your screenshots ;):

- Configurable separator's text color, size, background, margin, etc.

- Configurable line color.

- The row separating line must be at least all the screen width.

Do you see anything else you want included? I've already implemented textures for the rows (brushed metal is the one i've picked) but offcourse it will be optional ;).

Thanks a lot for your colaboration!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
New Release!!! Please send feedback!! ;-)

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
I've tried the new version and it's much faster to load. the scrolling is also much smoother then before. but sometimes the icons conflickt with the background. but only when I press one of the page icon before it's finished loading the first page.

I realy like the idea of custom background.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks for the feedback... It seem's that you are the only one using the app :P... What do you mean by "conflikt" can you place a screenshot or maybe be more specific please? On mine it works perfectly (at least so I think XD)...

By the way, if it's not too much asking... where did you take the icon pack you are using on your previous screenshot from? I've been looking for something similar but found nothing that cool ;)...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] berwick:
um...thats nice app...lookin for next ver.

with better customization

and...maybe straight scroll...it fees better as i m not using touch..

side scrolling is not that comfort...

or maybe diagonal scroll along the thumb's track..hehe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
Here is the screenshot

I googled for png icon pack and the made my own from them I can upload my icons when I get home from work

Here are the icons

ThrottleLauncher_Icons.rar
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
:D I just found the customizer ..... now this is getting better then good :)

also I found if I use no background image I don'r have the conflict anymore
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks a lot for the icons!! They're really cool!! :)

Thanks also for the screenshot, now I see what you where talking about.... I've a similar bug during development related to concurrent access to the background image (witch matches your description as it happend when loading another page while the first one is still loading)... I thought I've it controlled but obiously I've not X-D... I hope to have it fixed for next release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jatt_inder:
very nice software....will give it a go later on in da evening :)

@APBilbo

I just started using ur wonderful app...i noticed one thing..There wasent a shortcut in the start menu..if u dnt mind i modified ur 0.3 CAB by Adding a shortcuts in a Folder Called Throttel Launcher....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Offcourse i don't mind ;). Thanks a lot! I'll include it in future releases... I also have to make an Icon for the App... It's all written on my TODO list!! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
Thankx alot..just attached it...i was trying to Change the icon for the exe also..but couldnt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] v3patel:
If possible to filter file extention in folder tag?

<folder zoom="1.2" path="\Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\links\Internet" recursive="True" name="folInternet" />

I Only want to show all .exe's and .lnk's in using folder tag. With the about config it also display icon.ico file in my scrollable row. Is it possible to avoid diaplying all files in that folder and display only with given files extentions? Like *.exe, *.lnk, *.mcsr etc.

if not this is my suggetion that ass new parameter to folder config call fileExtentionFilter where we can put Comma separated values if what files needed to be displayed.

great app thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Not posible in current version... I'll try to have it for next ;).

Thanx!!

I'm glad to see you have fun ;). About the plugin I'm working on a "big" optimization for it ;).... By the way, if you have said it before sorry, but.. wich device are u using?

Thanx!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigfooo:
My device

Hello

Iam using an htc touch overclocked at 273 Mhz (BatteryStatus) and dont worry APBilbo, i might hard reset it to check that, its a long time iam making some tests with a lot of progs. i wont buy an other one, i dont have this money, i can still use it putting some fixed button, it would be enough for my today, but, and took me a while to find out, what i dont like the most in fact its the background of the plug in, it would be nice to have it transparent, if its plan, i dont remember either...

Anyway, iam very satisfy with it, better than wisbar, faster, and take less memory also. I can swap between the today screen and throttle in 1s, wich i couldnt with wisbar

Bravo et Merci for the rocking app :D:D

Bye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thank you very much. Just wanted to tell you that trasperency is on it's way ;). Take a look at the screenshot i posted yesterday:

It's not the todayplugin but that main app so you can see two features:

- Traspacency (or background): i'll release it as experimental as it's a little slow and when performing horizontal scrolling the back becomes solid as it's impossible (at least to me) to develop it to be fluent.

- Today plugins inside TL: tested it with: HTCHome, Metrix (this two working almost perfectly), Battery Status (with problem with font colors).... rlToday seems to freezze the whole thing :(, don't know why.... Still doing some researching and optimizations....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OTANTIKA:
TODAY

Hi APBilo and gullum,

I need your help I would like to know if it's possible change the size of throttletoday because it don't take all of today screen look the picture.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi!

Try ThrottleConfig (you may have a shortcut on your programs) there change the height and press Actions/Save. There you go! You can also change the registry key directly on HKLM\Software\ThrottleLauncher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
Hi OTANTIKA

the best hight for my setup seams to be 292 if you use the no bottom bar app can't remember the name.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi Gullum,

it was dciNoBars ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
wow this looks realy cool and I hope you get it fluent. I haven't been online much lately because I'm moving appartment so I only have internet at my repaire shop. but this is looking realy promising :D

Hi Guyys

Iam still playing with throttle and have a little pb with the config tool. I cant "edit" with the themes i made, it gives this message and close the config app :

Also, i have three shortcuts wich doesnt work anymore, i dont know what happened, i have uninstall some stuff like mortscript and the old Throttle themes from gullum, the files missing are Hibernate, suspend and reset.exe, wich i found very practicals.

Well, about the plugins, yes i have tried to remove evrything and install the throttleToday after a sodt reset, it works, sometimes freezes. Yesturday some icons had dissepeared again. Like i told yoou APBilbo i use the app keeping the rltoday on the today page with battery Status. I use my touch like a multimedia machine more than a phone or as an organizer (well for now at least, i dont need those ). Anyway, i also use wisbar advance " wich work fine and stop to use wisbar advance desktop, i have unisntall it too.

bye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Mmmmm the exception seems to be because of the 1.03 parameter you setted manually on the config.xml for the decreasespeed... Sorry for that but 2 decimals is not supported in the config app, my fault... :(....

About the icons stopping working I think gullum include on his HTC Theme some short cuts installed on the windows folder... May be those app's where launched throught those shortcuts and when you uninstalled the theme they stoped working... I'll try to find out where those shortcuts go to (or may be someone can post)...

Thanks for the info on how are you working with the plugin ;)!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JamesAllen:
Three Digits for decreasespeed

OK, I also tried values of 1.03, 1.05 and 1.07 for the decreasespeed value, editing them directly in config.xml with notepad on my PC, then saving them to the PDA. The scrolling behavior is very interesting. At 1.03, the scrolling continues for a great length of time before it stops. 1.07 provided me with the best results.

However, I believe these values will change if I use the ThrottleConfig application in that it supports only two digits. This did provide some very smooth scrolling.

Some very interesting results if you forget to put a "rowspan" value for an icon in a row that has "rowspan" on all other icons in that row. In my case, it was rowspan "1". What would happen is, if I selected an icon by pressing it to launch its application, the application for the icon two icons to the left was launched. Drove me crazy until I remembered I recently added an icon to that row and did not include the rowspan "1" that all the other icons had.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigfooo:
Hi

About the shorcuts wich had dissepeared, it was part of gullum iphone theme, i installed it again to check, i have found reset.exe and hibernate.exe. I also could notice that quickmenu has some shorcuts called hibernate ans suspend wich work the same :

\windows\QuickMenu.exe" -c:1041

\windows\QuickMenu.exe" -c:1014

About the "edit" function, you ar true, it was because of the 2 digits scrolling settings, never mind it just need to be modify in the xml file and does not need to be restarted to view the edit panel

I did not play with the plugin yet, i wait for the next release if you plan one, i just put a shortcut with wisbar, wich can be done also with softkeys, pointing to TLlauncher

really a great app

thx

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JamesAllen:
Memory Concerns

Edit:

With a soft reset, HTC Today Screen, and ThrottleLauncher Today Plugin:

1. 22.73MB Free Program Memory

2. With Throttle Launcher "Launched" 18.72MB Free Program Memory

2. With ThrottleLauncher and PIE "Launched" 16.56MB Free Program Memory

All of these numbers drop by 1-2MB after using the PDA for about 30 minutes (this is normal, I have seen this with a couple of ROMs). But, they drop greatly after 2 days. I use SKTools FreeUP RAM to regain some of that memory but eventually have to soft reset to get back to the above numbers.

With the ThrottleLauncher Today Plugin and ThrottleLauncher "launched", they take up about 4MB of Program Memory.

I am looking for a replacement for the HTC Home/Launcher and was hoping this was it. It may still be, but I have concerns about Program Memory usage. When running HTC Home, with nothing else running, I normally have about 22 MB Free Program Memory.

After 2 days of removing HTC Home, running just the HTC Today screen with the addition of the ThrottleToday Plugin, I am running about 14.7 MB Free Program Memory. If I then launch ThrottleLauncher from the ThrottleLauncher Today Plugin, I drop down to 11.3 MB Free Program Memory. If I were to launch PIE, the PDA comes close to freezing.

It appears that ThrottleLauncher consumes a great deal of Program Memory. Is anyone else noticing this on their Hermes?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshrys:
@Apbilbo

I'm looking for just the scrolling programs bar (the one that scrolls when you first open the application) to appear as a today plugin. I Just want to use it as a launcher application. I currently use cLaunch which i have several tabs created so that i can have 1 row utilized but have many shortcuts. Right now i have to tap the open space of the row to switch to the next set of shortcuts. I would like to just have 1 row which i can just scroll through.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi joshrys,

you could try to, using the ThrottleConfig app, edit the Default Today configuration, then remove all the pages but the one containing the row you want. Then edit that page and remove all the rows but the one you wan't. An then enter in the footer configuration and remove all the elements on it. Then save the config and softreset. If you find some problems when changing the config or you remove the wrong elements or something like that, you can uninstall and reinstall the DetaultThemes.cab to restore the whole thing to the original state.

Hope it helps!!!

Thanks for the detailed info, and sorry for the problems. I'll try to find the memory leak for next release. Please understand this is an alpha version of an application with less than 2 months of "life" so be patient ;). I'm sure at the end you'll find what you're looking for...

Please, it would help me so much to find the memory leak if you answer me this questions:

- Are you using "intensively" both the launcher and the plugin?

- Do you use the photodial?

- Do you change usually from portrait to landscape and viceversa?

I also wan't to know if anyone else is "suffering" this issue.

Thanks for trying!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
APB,

I'm not sure it's a memory leak. I have also looked very closely at memory useage and concur with Jimbo Allen...3-4 megs is my usage...AT STARTUP...right after a soft-reset. (I load everything in TL at startup for speed).

I love TL. I appreciate all the wonderful features of TL and would use it in a HEART BEAT...I mean right now....if it just wasn't so darn big. I simpy can't afford the RAM hit.

I get a little less functionality (a little more here a little less there) from HTC Today 6 button, which costs me 1.8 megs fully loaded...

If TL can give me four tabs...

Home

Contacts

Programs

Settings

....for under two megs...I'll never even utter HTC Today again.

So there's your challenge....

Hope this gives you a benchmark to shoot for.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sergio2007:
Done w/final exams. Back for playtime!

So what did I miss? Hmm... a lot of squeaky wheels.

Anywho, loving v0.6. It's such a cool app. AP, you should develop it for the Android platform, this is exactly what Google is looking for in their new phones.

Here are some shots of my Throttle:

1st Screen:

Single row Today plug-in; 80pixels high, leaving 20 pixels on top so Icon labels don't interfere with icons when pressed; I've posted my favorite apps; and between separators I have "Contacts", "Programs", and "Settings".

Contacts is the second page within the Today plug-in; all icons and contacts are set to 60 pixels high; and between separators I have "Today", "Programs", and "Settings".

2nd Screen:

Same as above, but I'm transitioning to the "Programs" otherspage.

3rd Screen:

Programs page

First row on top for Missed Calls, Unread e-mails, Unread SMS, and Exit; leaving 20 pixels on top for Icon labels (you only need to do this for the first row on top).

Second row for Programs, two rows high.

Third row for Running and Recent programs, single row.

Fourth row for New Items (appointments, emails, contacts, etc.), courtesy of Gullum.

Footer set w/ Icons for Today, Contacts, Programs, and Settings.

Settings page

These are all Gullum's settings. Very detailed work. Thanks!

Would be interesting to do.... I don't know if the funcionallity can be achieved but probably the look and feel can be really close... May be when I have some time.... ¿Anyone willing to try?

Very nice!! May be you could post the today setup as many people is looking for a single row today setup and I don't have time to do it since I'm fighting with the coding ;).

Thanks and very good work!!

I'll try my best to solve that... but the main problem in memory usage is that to achieve the horizontal scrolling double buffering each row is necesary so that doubles the amount of memory neded to paint a single Icon... Anyway I'll try to optimize the code as much as possible....

Thanks!!

Need Help

Hi, I've been following this thread with interest and finally installed it this morning. I've got a few things I need help with:

1. When launching TL from Programs, it launches fine except that the Contacts don't work at all. Any ideas?

2. When selecting TL from Today settings, it doesn't work at all. Here's the error:

ThrottleTodayPlugin.exe

ArgumentNullException

at

System.Threading.Monitor.EnterInternal()

at

DeviceApplication9.Componentes.Texto

Any help would be appreciated. This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for and I would love to get it working!

BTW, I'm running this on a Touch Dual (Niki).

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Mmmm... that's an strange one... Try editing your config.xml (make a backup first ;) ) file at "Setups/Default Today" folder and remove all the <text....> entries... If it works please tell me and we'll try to find out what exactly happens...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyecrispy:
Ok, I will try that (during all the superbowl festivities) and report back.

BTW, do you have a user guide or quick start guide? If not, it may be a good idea as I see this becoming popular very quickly on this forum.

Go Giants!

update:

didn't work :(

any other ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Mmmm... Fails with the same error?.... Please post what you have on your modified config.xml... In the stack trace appears the class "Texto" (text in spanish) that is asociated with the tags "text" inside the config.xml... The error doesn't have any sense if you have removed all the text tags from inside your config.xml :confused:...

Make sure to install both files from here:http://www.throttlelauncher.com/html/download.html

ThrottleLauncher-0.6Alpha.cab

DefaultThemes.cab

Install DefaultThemes.cab before installing ThrottleLauncher. If you want to install to an SD card or similar you may have to manually copy the files extracted to Program Files directory after installing DefaultThemes to your target SD directory.
