iPhone Skin (Scrollable)

Hello, thats my setup (so far).

Please see

http://www.throttlelauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?p=137#post137

for details.

UNZIP and read: readme.txt

Ridingshark

EDIT: added also the links for the settings to open, download again if you allr did.

You will need the Programm "dcinobar.exe" to remove Softbuttons on bottom (just removes it in todayscreen). Start to remove, Softreset to bring back.

EDIT 2/ 12.03.2008 - Changed Footerbackground to be more "iphone-like", changed setup to new feature ICON Text. By the way, this is for ThrottleLauncher 0.8 or higher. 0.7 does not display text below ICONs.

EDIT 3/11.04.2008 - Link removed as setup is not 100% compatible to TL 0.9. Will post new one later

New 0.8 Alpha Release!!

Here you are the new release. A lot of optimization has been achieved in relation to 0.7! Se detail on the first post or at

http://www.throttlelauncher.com

Hope you like it!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oyegaurav83:
wow..thanx.. was waiting for that.. :) will try tonight..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Please If anyone finds some problem, report and I'll try to help you ASAP ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johnny69blaze:
Looks like a great app!

I have one question though. Will this work as a today plugin with Ultimate Launch?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
I've not tried it inside UltimateLaunch, but as it's an standar today plugin... it must work ;). Set the desired plugin height int ThrottleConfig and you will be ready to go!

edit: if you find that it works please tell me :P

Misc. bugs

1)

I still get the following message after a soft reset:

"An unexpected error has occurred in ThrottleTodayPlugin.exe. With details "OutofMemoryException"

I then restart the TodayPlugin, and it works fine.

2)

After some time using the app, the main app refuses to run (even if the today plugin is still ok).

3)

Sometimes the input panel will show blanks only. No keys.

I have a feeling these might all be memory related, and I might try next week to do a hard reset to clear up some memory.

4)

If I try to Edit AppDB in the Config application, I get the follwing error:

"An unexpected error has occurred in ThrottleConfig.exe. " With details:

"DirectoryNotFoundException at .......... ThrottleLibrary.Components.AppDB.AppDB.load()."

Do I need to have a database file somewhere?

Otherwise, thanks for a great app! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi Ajige!!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!! I agree 1 to 3 seem to be related to memory but Sergio is also reporting some error mesages on today plugin start when installing to SD card (after the error message the plugin starts ok). Did you install to sdcard?

About the 4 bug... I thought I've that posible error controled, but It seems that I've not... :(. to avoid that from happening just create the following direcotry struture inside your ThrottleLauncher folder:

ThrottleLauncher (this must be already created as is where your Throttle is installed to)

AppDB

Links

Apps

Notused

Png

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajige:
It works now!

This is now working, and also I haven't gotten any more errors after soft resets. I haven't done anything else, so I have no clue why the error suddenly disappeared.

Thanks!

:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
I'm glad it finally worked ;). If you find some more probs, let me know.

TL vista

I find excellent the software, congratulations:):) , I have been cacharreando this whole weekend.

I have not been able to her to install, because tells me that it was created in WM previous to which I have that it is WM5 in team HTC P3600 (Trinity)

Thanks and regards:):)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks for your comments!

What exactly do you have problems with? Installing TLVista or the main throttlelauncher app? Theorically the software must work in WM5 also if you have installed NET.CF, so if you have problems with this it must be a problem with the installation files. Tell me and I'll try to fix them....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] manila02006:
Problems with skin

Thanks for yor answer and intersting.

My problem is, already install the last version of the ThrottleLauncher with the skin and gullum setup, but I want to change the skin because the one that comes out me the screen is in black and most of the icons don't come out in color.

When trying to install the skin tlvista the. cab informs me that this elaborated in a version previous of windows, but anyway I follow the process, I modify the config.xml in the first part changing the name of the skin and reset my PPC, I execute the ThrotteLauncher again and tries to appear the blue color of the screen bottom but again it is like it is initially.

My second problem, is when trying to make the above-mentioned, the executable files of turning off, to suspend and to reset to windows was disappeared and the icons associated to these executable ones no longer work me, is there some way obtain them again and to install them?

Thanks:):(:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Ok... So, let's see if I understand... you want to modify HTC Gullum's theme to look like Gullum's TLVista? If so theorically the only think to so is change the skin attribute on the header of the config.xml and also on the diferent rows if another skin is specified (I think this is the part you're missing, but I'm not sure ;)).

About the second problem, if you have uninstalled any theme may be it has removed the lnk files related to that setup. Otherwise may be you have modified the xml and removed those icons... What you can do is make a backup of your modified xml's and reinstall the whole think, then compare the xml's you modified with the originals...

It's dificult to explain this kind of problems by writing and also dificult to understand them... if you experience more problems please post a screenshot of what you're seeing ;).

Hope this helps!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] manila02006:
Files

Thanks, yes, it's dificult to explain this hind problems by writing, example, my second problem is the lost of the executable files no the icons.

Thanks:):rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hehehe, ok. The executable files are not installed with the themes... I don't know wich applciation is needed to get those working... I think it's Oxios Hibernate for the free RAM, reset must work as i think it's default on WM, and for the other two I don't know... :(... They never have worked for me...

These are my screen shots. The TL Today Plugin (with clock) and the "Favorites" accessed from the second row of the today plugin. The footer at the bottom of each page accessed from the TL Today Plugin page takes you to "All Programs" and "All Contacts".

I matched the WM6 main screen color for the TL rows and pages with a really neat color matching program called Just Color Picker from www.annystudio.com. This program allows you to place a cursor over any color and get the RGB, HEX, HTML and other values for it, as well as similar colors and contrasting colors. It is freeware and a great little program (runs on your PC).

Today screen plug-in in VGA displays?

Hi APBilbo,

thanks for this great launcher. I was looking for a launcher some time now, and wasn't quite satisfied with c-launch because it couldn't handle VGA. I have an x51v

What I like about thottlelauncher is the kinetic scrolling, but also the possibility to use some beautiful icon themes from KDE-look.

However, I have one problem: The height of the today plug-in is twice what I select in the config,and only the upper half is used, the lower half is empty.

example: with 128p icons, and I select height~128, the plugin is ~256 pixels, and my icons are displayed in the upper half; the lower half remains empty.

When I select height ~64, the plugin is ~128 pixels, and my icons are cut in half, only the upper half is displayed.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi kuifje!

Sorry for the delay in answering.... I've had to work the whole weekend...:(

About your question you're right... I didn't thought of VGA displays when designing ThrottleConfig app... I'll fix this on next release. Anyway you can manually set the height of the plugin through modifying the registry key located at:

HKLM\Software\ThrottleLauncher\TodayHeight

After modifying remenber to disable the plugin and after re-enable it so it reboots itself.

Hope this solves it!

edit: sorry, after reading your post again I've realised that your comment was other... What you're telling is strange....can you post your setup's config.xml please?. May be it has something to do with the footer height, or similar...

Thanks!

problems

guys I know this is stupid but I could not find the answer anywhere. I downloaded the launcher cab and default themes, (http://www.throttlelauncher.com/html/download.html) V.8 and installed the themes first but the launcher wont install. ("installation of ThrottleLauncher.CAB was unsuccessful.) I'm currently running WM 6, CE OS 5.2.1948 (Build 18548.dutty's) .net CF 3.5.7283.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't wait to try the launcher

UPDATE: I tried extracting the files from the launcher cab and got this:

Use Path: yes Overlay Files: yes

Extracting THROTT~1.000

Extracting THROTT~1.006

Extracting THROTT~1.005

Extracting TDLTOO~1.004

Extracting THROTT~2.003

Extracting THROTT~1.002

Extracting THROTT~1.001

The operation completed successfully.

CAB file ThrottleLauncher.CAB is corrupt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Maybe is a problem of the file download.... could you try downloading it again please? If that doesn't solve the problem try uninstalling the DefaultThemes cab and after that try installing first the throttlelauncher cab and after the one with the default themes....

You can also try the exe install.

Please tell me if the problem persists...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scwilson8382:
I just tried it 3x both ways, the launcher first without the default. same thing. When trying to extract the files from the cab it gets to the XML file and then says corrupt. Unfourtunatly I am at work and the installer wants admin privleges which I don't have. Is there a way to run the .exe from my phone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Have you tried downloading the cab again? Maybe the downloaded file is corrupt... I'm sorry, the exe file is for desktop platform....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scwilson8382:
you were right It was corrupt. it worked this time thanks alot, looks good
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Glad to hear that :). Hope you enjoy it! Keep an eye cause I'm going to release first Beta soon ;).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scwilson8382:
one quick question how do you get the contacts to show up? where do you link them. after tapping the contacts icon I get none. it says loading contacts but none come up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
Hey alfonso..long time noo see man..where have u been
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi Ather!

It has really been a long time ;). I've been working on 0.9 beta. As you're registered as beta tester at my forum you can give it a try if you want! :)

Mmmmmm, don't you get an icon threre with a "+" button on it? If you click there you can add contacts to the list.... If the icon is not appearing (wich is strange) you can asign manually the category "ThrottlePhotoDial" to your contacts to get them into the list (after reseting the plugin).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
no probs..i will be happy to test it out for u man...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kuifje_xda-developers:
Hi AP,

yeah i know, work isn't bad but it takes up too much of your spare time doesn't it?

Anyway,great that you will consider my vga, looking forward to it. I am waiting until my x51 turns into an iphone, which is when there are public hotspots everywhere (the only thing an x51v can't do is call, other than that it's the perfect phone)

Meanwhile i'd like to encourage everyone not to settle for imitating the iphone looks, there is such beautiful (free!) eycandy on www.kde-look.org

BTW, I also can't get your screenshot feature to work (also because of vga?) else i'd post some!

again, thanks, and see you around!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi!!

It takes many time indeed :-).

About the problem you have... could you post the xml file inside a zip please. I think it could be related to it instead of the VGA thing... That way I can try to reproduce the problem on an emulator as my herald is QVGA.

I'm sorry, the screenshot feature disapeared on 0.6 release... You can try using an app like magic ss or mymobiler to get an screenshot. They're really handy cool tools ;-).

I'm not imitating iphone look ;-). I think is cool but a little bit too fixed.... Here you have some screenshots of the next release default theme :-p. I know it's not as cool as KDE with beryl but....

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pazookie:
hope this hasnt been addressed

alright i just tried this app out today and its awesome but i have a few problems..

using the today theme it is transparent but when i slide through the screen it holds either a black background or a whitebackground based on the theme in the actual main screen..how can i keep transparency in the today screen when scrolling/sliding...and another similar problem, how to i choose the background for the main app screen?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi pazookie!

First of all, thans for trying the app! ;). Transparency during scrolling need a very fast processor, wich device do you have? Either way you can give it a try just by adding (or changing) the following line of config.xml of the setup you're using. It's inside Setups/YourSelectedSetup/config.xml. There, between the variables tags set the following:

<param name="truetrasparency" value="True" />

For the background thing, you'll have to edit the skin used by the setup. You'll have it's path defined between the variables tag inside the same xml. Then go to it's xml inside the Skins directory on your throttlelauncher instalation path. There you'll have to add/set the following:

<param name="texture" value="miimage.jpg"/>

You may have to copy the image you want inside the skin folder.

I know this is a lot complicated by now. On next release this is going to be all done graphically through the configuration tool.

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pazookie:
thanks everything worked! the scrolling is a little slower but better than the screen changing color to scroll :) (btw my device is a att tilt) all this xml editing reminds me off my htc tornado smartphone device and editing the homescreens manually lol..do you have a estimated date on the new release?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
I'm glad it worked :)!! The next release will be available hopefully in a week or two.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pazookie:
alright sorry i should have said the first part worked..i got ahead of myself...i entered the background line in and any skin.xml i entered it in i get an error message when reloading the today screen..something along the lines of "Skin file on path skins/"SKIN FOLDER" was not found or corrupt.here is my skin xml

Do you have tunnel5xh.jpg inside the same folder of the skin.xml? May be the problem is it's not finding it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kuifje_xda-developers:
vga example

Hi ap,

here's my theme. I'd be surprised if this is the cause because i also have it with your default themes. So to be precise, what i see is:

-icons are rendered fine

-if i set the height not enough, the portion of the icon shown is what you would expect

-only:the height reserved in the today screen is twice the selected height

good luck!

looking forward to 0.9!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
I now see what you mean... It's a bug trully... I think I 've solved it ;-). Look at the attached screenshots of beffore and affter ;-).

edit: by the way.... really cool icons!! :)

Thanks for reporting!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kuifje_xda-developers:
That was quick,

as a matter of fact, the "before" isn't quite what I see, what I see is just an empty piece of today screen of the same height as the actual throttle launcher part.

Thanks for the compliment, almost all those icons are "nuvola" by david vignoni. The trouble with the KDE icons is: i can't choose. One is more beautiful than the other. Nuvola is a favorite, but also "crystal" and "oxygen". These have 128x128 icons (VGA!). Fortunately it is real easy to switch themes in throttlelauncher! Check these!

BTW i also see one, very minor, bug. Launching certain applications from the main launcher starts the application with the empty space that corresponds to the size of the SIP keyboard, only, the keyboard isn't actually shown.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pazookie:
well ive tried everything to get the wallpaper in the main screen and cant get it to work..ive tried every directory and nothing works...has anyone successfully loaded the main app with a wallpaper and if so can you post your code...thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pazookie:
oh and another problem is i cant change the font color in a today screen, i was able to change the format but not the color.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi again!

Thanks for the icons!... You've make me think of doing a KDE looking setup with those for next release :p....

Also thans for the SIP thing... The SIP management in WM it's a lot tricky... Sorry for that... I'll try to solve to solve it for next release also..

There was a bug related with that on previous releases.... I thought it was solved on 0.8... but maybe it was on 0.8 G (gullum's ROMs special release)... I'll PM you something that maybe solves the bug ;).

About the font color thing... That's really strange... What have you tried to achieve that? There are quite a lot of diferent fonttype attributes for customization, it's difficult to find the "right" one :o...

Thanks!!

wallpaper?

Hi AP, how are you?

Small question, I can't figure out how to set a wallpaper in the main app. Is it the "texture" parameter in the skin file (removing the comment tags you added in the sample skins)? Does it need to be a BMP and does it need to be 640x480, or can it be bigger and do you fit the screen automatically?

I put an 640X480 BMP impage in the skins folder, and referred to it with the absolute path in the textures tag. I got an error about missing resources etc. So unless i made a typo, what do I do wrong?

Thanks,

Kuifje
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pazookie:
read up a few posts, i already addressed this issue and ithave tried everything in addition to the instructions bilbo gave..im just sticking with the homescreen view so i can have transparency and a background
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
It's the texture attribute indeed.... but there seem to be a bug on 0.8 with Main app background, It doesn't paint it :( ... Anyway, I answer your questions, you theorically can use any kind of image supported by NET.CF (this includes jpg for example). It's not automatically fitted, so you may have to manually do it (it's also quicker and less memory consuming to load this way ;) ). By the way the path of the texture can be relative to the skin folder ;).

Thanks, and sorry for the bug...

screenshots

Hi AP,

I'm using throttlelauncher all the time now, and loving it more and more. Here are some screenshots of my favourite setups. In the meantime, I have 2 small suggestions:

-Not centering the row when it is larger than the display. In that case I would prefer to align the first icon from the row left, so the most importnat icons are immediately shown.

-When resizing icons (width and height parameters), and only one dimension is given, keep the aspect ratio. I want to make shortcuts to my favorite websites using their own logo instead of an icon. Of course these need resizing. Now, when I adjust the height, they become distorted

Just suggestions, your tool is already great!

Hi Kuifje!!

I'm really glad you're enjoing throttlelauncher :). Thanks a lot for your suggestions! The first one is already done for next release and the second one is not dificult to achieve so expect both on 0.9 Beta ;):D.
