Hey ferrex, great app.

Just one question:

With the Show/Hide on slide under advanced would it be possible to differentaite between slide open and closed?

I've got the option for QuickTasks turned off so when I open the slide I get the phone app. Now adding \windows\cprog.exe to the list in advanced means that the phone app goes when I open which is cool but it then opens when sliding the phone closed.

Thanks,

Colin.

Thanks for your effort ferrex but still no joy:( so I've reverted back to version 1.31 as 1.32 also introduces a new issue this time if I check "Show today on close" and invoke S2U2 on close, upon sliding close, S2U2 appears for a few seconds but then it unlocks and the screen reverts back to Today strange!!!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
I know why that happens - I changed the way the Today screen was invoked from manipulating the window to using a keypress on the assumption that using a keypress would allow any third party mods to the Today screen work better.

I assumme a timing issue, oh well, next version I'll roll that back.

Afternoon,

Got my dual yesterday installed your slide actions and fantastic it is what the dual should have had in the first place i.e. hanging up calls when closed

Thanks ferrex

Have you got a road map of what you would like to implement in slide actions in the near future. Cos in my opinion bar any bugs found it is pretty feature complete and should not be overly complicated as it does a really good job.

New Release

I have no particular plans. Some people have asked for features that I don't agree are SlideActions province and lacking a use for them myself am unmotivated to do the work.

I'd like to make it work on any Smartphone Slider but I can't find any generic way to identify slide movements across phones.

I'd also like to find a proper API for Unlocking keys but that's more in the bug-fixing realm.

For the moment, until I identify a personal need, barring bug fixing, SlideActions is on my back burner in favour of other projects.

Speaking of bug fixing, the latest version has some fixes to problems people reported.

Hi.

Fatal crash.

Explain:

Touh dual, spanish version for Vodafone operator, just intalling, reboot and...

nothing. he device hangs just after loading the O.S. usually during the PIN asking. :mad:

I've got to hard reset the device (no problem, justa little work ;) ).

So, i'm sad not having this improvement.

Thank's everyway.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
If I understand you correctly - you're saying you installed SlideActions, restarted your phone and it hung and became completely unresponsive. So much so you had to hard restart it.

I don't have a theory yet how this could happen, but I'll review the code to see if there's any imaginable way it could be getting trapped into an unending loop (my only thought on how SlideActions could be responsible for such behaviour).

Watch this space.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
I can't identify any code that suggests a possible cause for hanging a phone. In the absence of having a Spanish model to play with or other people, reports supplying more to go on I'm putting this in the 'too hard' basket and not worrying about it.

I just have no idea what could be done about it, sorry.

Hi Ferrex

thanks for this great software. i have been using it for a few weeks and found that it is a very good piece of software.

I noticed a few quirks with it and i was wondering if you can advice.

i have enabled

- hangup on close

- lock keys on close (no delay)

- Show today on close

- open unread messages on open

1) there are times that i slide open the phone, but it doesn't unlock.

2) i would like the phone to unlock when i slide open, but if i enable "Unlock keys on open", when i slide open, it kinda double clicks the left soft key and it either never unlocks well, or it enters some junk character in the input field.

3) locking the screen during a call somehow doesn't unlock/lock itself well when the call is hung up by closing the slide.

i was wondering if there are ways to get the above working better?

thanks lots
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
You're using it much the same way I do.

1) Nothing can be done about this (as far as I know), HTCs method of unlocking just seems unreliable and occassionally fails...

2)...I tried to correct it, but as there does not appear to be a reliable API for unlocking phone keys I had to use a kind of a hack - and as you've discovered it's no more reliable than the native efforts of HTC. As yet I can't find a better solution.

3) Locking the phone on close, Locking keys in call, and Hanging up on close contradict each other. One of them has to take priority over the other. Either the phone ought unlock itself if it locked in call or hanging up and locking should always work. I opt for the latter - it should remain locked if you've selected lock on close.

New Release

Version 1.4x for eXperimental

This version has new Unlock Key code in it. I've recevied emails from people who have found me in searches on the topic that has inspired me to put a bit more effort into this (plus also people notes about issues they've been having here).

So I've taken another run at solving the timing issues that make unlocking the phone a bit of a nuisance. I think HTC has had the same problem as me - the delay caused by the phone waking up from sleep prevents window messages from being caught and acted on when desired.

So I've put a bit of effort into working with the phones behaviour to time trying to unlock keys. It's working well for me so far.

The idea is if you select the "Unlock keys on open" option SlideActions will make sure your phone unlocks when you slide it open. fingers crossed.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] GpsPasSion:
Thanks for a great app.

Any sense whether your app might slow down the boot time after a soft reset ? Mine seems endless now, but there might be something else at play, S2U2 for intance.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] copper:
thanks for putting in the hard work!

i have downloaded and installed it.

will report back any issues that i find.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
When SlideActions is installed it's monitoring application is added to the Start Up folder, so after a soft reset it becomes part of the start up. But all that requires is running the program slidemon.exe which does nothing but sit there and await notification of slide movement or phone calls.

It does nothing that I think ought cause a delay - there is no process that waits on anything else for instance.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] copper:
hi Ferrex

i tested the new 1.4x over the course of today...

and i found that there are times that the phone still doesn't unlock properly...

though less frequent

These times that it doesn't unlock properly are when the phone is unused for a while

if i can make a suggestion....

if you can read the time the unit has been off or slide closed? and then dynamically adjust the delay of apply the unlock to it?

as for the "lock during call", how about implementing your own "locking" such that the screen is blocked during the call?

my 2 cents.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] bregan84:
Hi I have downloaded the 1.4x version and tried it on mi Niki.

When i Slide open, sometimes the phone loads up the phone app and keys in the * key. On other times, it unlocks correctly and loads up the HTC Action Menu.

Sometimes it unlocks and stays on the today menu without loading anything.

Sometimes it screws up the unlock function and when i slide open, the unlock key is still shown in the left softkey. However upon pressing the left softkey, the unlock goes away.

Small question here. Is it intented to load the HTC action menu upon slide open? Is there a way to disable that?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] boogiecornejo:
id like to suggest a "show today screen on slide open" option.this would be usefull for people who prefer to go directly to the homescreen when you slide open rather than dialer or call history.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
This is all ongoing problems with making Unlock work reliably. HTC's routine periodically fails, especially when waking from sleeping. I've tried to add an 'Unlock on open' option to ensure successful unlocking, but that's proving very diffilcult.

I've thought I'd got it sussed before but kept getting thwarted.

Slideactions isn't doing that, Slideactions does nothing to the current Window on Slide Open (unless the window is from an 'Advanced' selected application in which case it gets pushed back).

I haven't noticed if there's other ways to customise Dual Touchs but I think if you were on the Today screen when you slid open it opens the phone app, otherwise it stays on the window.

It's much harder than that. I have considered implementing my own locking - ala S2U2 or the like but I'd rather work with the standard locking because then my app will play nice with any other app or O/S setting that locks the phone.

Things I've learned about the phones lock, and why there isn't an API for unlocking...

Gwes,exe, the application which handles U.I and Marshals window messages among all applications handles phone locking (thus it's an app thing and not an O/S API thing - yet). The phone is locked by creating a clear window over the top of the z-order that allows nothing but the left 'Unlock' soft key press - and handling keypresses. When a key is presed the 'Unlock' window is shown either with a 'Unlock' button and/or 'Cancel' left soft key. It then deals with further input to either unlock, cancel unlocking or time out waiting.

HTC, I'm guessing, does something similar to what I'm doing to unlock - sends the appropriate sequence of key presses. But sometimes timing issues (especially when delays due to waking up occur) they don't get handled as expected and the phone stops mid-process somewhere.

This gives me a problem because there's NO WAY to tell what state the phone ends up in. The Unlock window can be in one of two states with no way to tell which is which (that I've been able to identify) - then any sequence of keys I send may, or may not, unlock the phone and may, or may not, overflow into the app that gets the focus (thus the errant *, which is one of the keys I send).

I have devised a plan to deal with this and am now testing it. Hopefully there'll shortly be a new version with improved unlocking support.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
HTC obviously thinks that unless you're using a particular application you must want to use your phone as a phone - and opening it is to dial.

If I were to put in a open Today on slide open it'd have to be 'Stay on Today' when open - so if you were using another application it'd stay on that.

This makes me think that instead of going to Txt messages when there's a message waiting it'd be better to just pop up the msg as a notification as a new arrival does.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
New Release

Version 1.41 includes my latest run at unlocking code which has run reliably for me for a few days now.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] katerini:
Very nice program. Thank you!

One question only. Is it possible when slind in, not only to turn to today, but also to realy close the programs, exclude some of them?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
The Advanced Options does something like that.

Every program you add to the Advanced Options is run (or if already running brought to the foreground) on slide closed, and pushed to the background on slide open.

This is to enable operation with third party locking programmes (such as S2U2).

If I understand you you're asking to close specified programs on slide close (and actually close, rather than just push to background) but not neccesarily open them on slide open. So as to combine locking/hanging-up with closing certain programs.

That seems like a useful idea to me. Slideactions doesn't currently do that, but I may add it (lucky for you it shares certain codee requirements for my next attempt to make unlocking reliable).
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! After two and half days of perfection I had a string of unlocking failures last night. More work to be done...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Dalidah:
Same here :(.

Most of the times unlock fails when opening the slide in standby mode.

Lock is perfect :)

Thanx for the effort!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Midget_1990:
1.41 works great except that when unlocking it also opens my calender (left softkey)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] katerini:
1- Is it possile to hang up on close, even if i am calling someone and he don't pick up his phone?

For now, it hangs up only when i am talking with someone.

But if i am waiting for the other part to peek up his phone, and i slide in, then it does not hang up.

2- And is it possible, when i slide in, to ask me if i want to lock the keys? Yes or No.

Like the Nokia phones does. And not direct lock them.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ferrex:
I thought I had that organized, I'll check. I have had some trouble with that because WM6 doesn't seem to be wholly consistent with what it considers a call in process.

Yes it's possible, but I'm not planning on doing it. I see no significant difference between that and manually locking your phone. Slideactions lock is all about using the slide as the physical interface.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] katerini:
-I slide out the keyboard, i am writing something, but then i want to work on something else on the ppc, but i don`t need the keyboard. I slide in to work better with the touch screen and it locks the ppc. I have to unlock it. But if it asks me, i will press only once to say no. This can be as an option to the lock up. If i want this, i can enable this.

-!!! Or the better will be !!!, wenn i slide in the keyboard, to ask me if i want to close the opened programms and lock the keyboard (in one question "Close All Programms and Lock the Keyboard ???"). Witch means that if i press yes, i will put the ppc away or in my pocket.

BUT if i press no, then it will stay to the screen that i am at this moment, with all the programms i need opened for work, and unlocked ppc.

I think this is the better option! Please think real good about this.

I Think that there is only 2 possibilities, why we slide in the keyboard.

1- I don't need the ppc at the moment any more, and i want to put it away, until i need it again, but with locked ppc, and all programms closed.

2- Or i want to hold the ppc better in my hands and work on something that i have opend at the moment, and i don`t need the keyboard, so i slide in, but i have everything opend and no locked ppc.

Please!!! make this question as an option on lock the ppc,

and as an option on the Real close programms on Slide in (if it possible to close the programms on slide in)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] yawn:
i agree and support katerini's idea. It'd be great to have this option. Please consider about it.

cheers~~~
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] KWoods41:
So I picked up my S8 yesterday, and those stories that came out a week or so ago about needing the new $90(USD) Samsung Fast Wireless Charger in order to fast-charge wirelessly were true!

I have that Samsung fast-charge wireless charger from last year (the one that came out with the Note 7) (https://www.amazon.ca/Genuine-Samsu...2614821&sr=8-10&keywords=samsung+fast+charger) and it doesn't fast charge my stupid phone!

And before you guys ask, yes, it is plugged into a fast charge brick (the one that came with the phone). And I *do* have wireless fast charging turned on on the S8. It's hidden in a weird spot in the settings, but it's there.

I tried it with a flat charger that I picked up on Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N8RGTJV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) only because it was USB-C, and that one fast-charges it. Not sure why the one Samsung released 6 months ago doesn't do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] marinebio94:
Are you using a different cable than what came with the charger? I've noticed that sometimes the cable can affect the charging rate of the wireless charger (noticed it with the fast charging stand I just got after using it with my S7E).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] suzook:
Wow! What f'n bs. Way to go Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] KWoods41:
The Samsung fast charging stand didn't come with its own cable (here in Canada, at least) - so there's no correct cable to use. And I can't use the cable that came with my S8 because that's USB-C. I'm using a plain old anker USB-A to Micro cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] marinebio94:
Honestly, that may be your issue. Do you have any other cables you could use? You could also buy an oem galaxy s7 cable. Again, I had plugged in my fast charger using a cable that I use to charge my wireless mouse, and it wouldn't fast charge, but using the cable that came with the charger or the original s7 cable does let it fast charge.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] KWoods41:
Thanks for the suggestion - I'll troubleshoot the issue. Don't have a lot of micro-USB cables laying around these days, but enough that I can try to isolate that as a cause if possible.

[MENTION=5283011]KWoods41[/MENTION]

Did you use the fast wireless charger from the Note 7 / S7 with one of these devices before?

I have a non original one

(same design as here - https://www.amazon.ca/Genuine-Samsu...2614821&sr=8-10&keywords=samsung+fast+charger).

I have two of them one does turn on/of repeatly for about half a minute then carges the S8 with normal wireless charing (5W). The other charges the S8 from the beginning with fast wireless charging (10W). Bothe same cable and QC 2.0 Wallplug)

But keep in mind that one of them had these problem from beginning even with my S7.

If you use the included USB-C to Micro-USB adapter of the S8 and plug this on the cabel that goes into your old (S7) wirelles charger and then in your S8 does it charge fast then or normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Eddie Hicks:
The fast charger I have for my S7 Edge, fast charges my S8. It's the round, upright Samsung charger. It even says fast charging when I place it on the charger. I use the cable that came with my S7E connected to the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] babyshanks:
No problems wireless fast charging here either. Same charger as I used with my S7, 1 year old or so. Got the stand one that accepts your standard micro usb. You gotta make sure you have the adaptive power wall outlet, decent usb cable (no adapters on it), and

wireless fast charging enabled in settings

(mine was off for some reason).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nappent:
I have a fast wireless charger I used on my GS7 and it still works for my my S8. And yes it shows "fast wireless charging".

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
My generic fast wireless charger that worked with my S7 and Note7 does not fast wireless charge my S8+ - BUT I think the previous posts have merit to them. I think the issue is that I am using a 6ft Anker cable. I'm thinking either a shorter cable, or one of the original Samsung cables, should resolve the issue. Sucks though because I need a 6ft cable to reach the outlet...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] BarryH_GEG:
No they weren't! I have three 2016 fast chargers and they all work the same way they did with my S7e. If anything I'd say the S8 seems to charge a bit faster on them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] KWoods41:
Wow - you were dead right. I swapped that Anker or Aukey cable (don't remember which brand it was) for the micro-USB one that came with my Gear S3 and, lo and behold, I am fast wireless charging with my S8 on the 2016 Samsung charger! Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not sure why this was an issue for the S8 but not the S7 edge or Note 7, but I don't care anymore!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jrdejavux:
dont want go off topic but how do you get samsung pay to show up at the bottom? I cant find any settings.

Just took delivery of an Anker fast charging plate from Amazon and it works in fast charging mode on my Galaxy S8! Had previously tried two Samsung fast charge plates which didn't fast charge the S8 and an Aukey model which worked for 30 seconds then stopped. The Anker one is here. It looks really nice too and has LEDs which only light up when charging starts. My only concern is that it has no fan so will need to monitor how hot the phone gets. Great for a nightstand!

Hello,

I am now using Ditto Note 7 Rom from Electron Team but as i have red kernel from this rom doesn't support the wolfson codec of N910C. After Ditto Kernel i had flashed Space Lemon kernel for duble tap to wake but it's also not supporting wolfson. Which kernel should i flash to get Wolfson Support on this rom ? I don't care about double tap to wake if i can't get wolfson. It would be tremendous if there is a kernel with double tap to wake and wolfson support for 6.0.1 but i can't find any. Only Ultimate Kernel had wolfson support but its for 5.1.1.

Thanks in advance,

Yesterday I found out that PoweAmp Alpha app can handle music much better in Note 4 than any other App. I had been using Viper4android since my first Note with baked roms but yesterday I downloaded the official firmware and installed the app and the results are amazing. This app has many Audio option like playing 24/192 and other tweaks. I believe that official firmware handle better the walfson chipset and the app is taking advantage of it. You should give it a try ...I mean does not sounds like a DAP like Fiio but sounds better than before.

The app can be download from the official PowerAmp website.

So, maybe I am late to the party but read recently about opening the UI Tuner for 7.0. Long press the settings button from the status bar pulldown menu.

I was excited b.c I thought you could modify the navigation bar with it, but that option is not available with Z Play Droid. But it does allow for setting notification importance.
