Awesome, thank you for the info. At some point, I would like to explore all of the various ways to root a device, but in this particular case where I want to backup all SMS conversation data (text, pictures, etc.) from the existing (non-rooted) device, it sounds like the one click approach is definitely what I need (vs. unlocking the bootloader)

Your comments about using an App (without root) are also very intriguing. Is there an Android app that can give me access to all the data (or at least all the data that the SMS app would have access to) on the phone without rooting it? (Can you recommend one?) The SMS Backup & Restore App you mentioned earlier seems interesting, but I'd like to get something that will generally allow me to get data from the internal filesystem.

Ideally, I just need some way (ssh/ftp/other) to transfer data from the phone to my PC. I'm fully expecting that I'll have to do some reverse engineering on the database/data files that I copy from the device and alsi do some custom coding to extract the messages (including embedded pictures/ movies) that I wish to preserve.

Thank you again for any other advice or suggestions you can offer!

srry, but what is a action screen?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Christoffer91:
I'm using the norwegian 1.93 offical ROM and this wont work for me.

I installed it, did a soft reset, then i started it by pressing "new" in touch flo 3d and this message comes up:

Can't open this file, HTCActionSCreen.

Either its not signed with a clarified certificate, or one of the components does not exist.

Install this again if the problem still exist.

Maybe not the best translate, but I hope you understand.

I have tried installing it 2-3 more times as well without any luck.

What can I do?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:
Where did you install it ? In the internal storage ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Christoffer91:
Yea, should I install it on phone memory?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] skrap3:
Looks good, will try it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Christoffer91:
It worked now when I installed it on the phone memory, looks very nice.

i have problem ..how to fix?

when my diamond horizontal. I used rom 1.37.832.4 CHT

I have use GSEN. I can config setting CODE[ #windows(****) ].

what is **** name I need input ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] counterfitninja:
I love this, adds a little bit more to the diamond.

Question is there any way to choose which soft key it changes. I would prefer to keep the phone softkey and replace the programs key. would this be possible? some sort of config program may be?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sonnybravo:
Hi Fabliv, Looks very nice! I use the other action screen which you made also, is it ok to just overwrite it with this one? Or do I need to de-install the other action screen first?

Thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] redlancer:
Great Job.

Would it be possible to add a button to activate WIFI, eliminating other one?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:
It's possible, but you have to do it by yourself with a registry editor.

Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila

Modify the following value :

HomeLSKPath = (nothing)

HomeLSKText = (nothing)

Modify the following value :

HomeRSKPath = "\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"

HomeLSKText = "New"

After that, the left softkey "Phone" will back and the right softkey will become "New".

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:
I have always preferred to delete a program before installing a new version.

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:
It's possible, of course, but I cannot make a case by case basis.

I installed it but I haven't any icon in program files?:confused:

What's my fault?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:
The default installation path is \Windows.

After a soft reset you'll find a softkey "New" at the bottom left corner of the TF3D home screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] redlancer:
Of course :)

I thought that there might be a tool of forming every button ;)

You have to download it another time.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] adamas08:
new call button

Great application, very userfriendly!

The only downside is that you lose your phone softkey after installing. So I was thinking, is it perhaps possible to add an 8th button (new call) to the action screen which takes you to the phone tab without using the hardkey, just like the original softkey. In the latest layout (v3 and v4) there is room for an extra button instead of the wide 'new contact' button.

V3 works like a charm. Keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sleehond:
Nice job!

When will the NL version be availble ;)!?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:
Perhaps in the v5.

Which version do you prefer ?

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:
Coming soon ! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] adamas08:
If you do decide to put it in, that would be great. I prefer the v3 (Dutch, but english does the trick also ;) ). It's more userfriendly with my clumbsy thumbs than the v2. And I think it looks a little bit more calmer and organized than the v4 yoda edition. But I guess that is probably a more personal preference.

Either way, they are both a great improvement to the TF3D interface!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] thieu93:
I still not understand how did you installed this program?? :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:
Okay, I cannot add an extra button. I tryed different things but I didn't find a solution at the moment.

The only things I can do, is to modify each button (logo and prog),

it allows, for example, to customize ActionScreen according to our needs.

The problem with the VGA ActionScreen, is that we must integrate the text in the graphical chart, that is why I have to work a lot on each translation.

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mortuus:
Thanks alot (Again)

little typo:

HomeRSKPath = "\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"

HomeLSKText = "New"

it has to be:

HomeRSKPath = "\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"

HomeRSKText = "New"

btw: you can buy some coffee tmr :p cheers

Hi Fabliv

Great app - thank you!

I've downloaded and installed your Yoda V4 En version on my diamond -

I've uninstalled the old version, and installed the new V4 on the phone memory. The problem is the program still shows the old version/graphics when i run it - i've soft reset several times and tried uninstalling and installing again followed by a soft resets. Do you know what i have done wrong or heard of this before?

Cheers

Update: Got it working, I uninstalled V4, installed V3 - this worked - then uninstalled V3 and installed V4. Now V4 is working fine :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Niccolo:
:D:D yeah ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:

Search in Windows folder, all .brn files and delete those that begin with AS_0, and reinstall it.

Question

I need your opinion ...

I changed the glossy effect of the version 4.

Is this better ?

Screenshots :
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
This glossy effect does look better to me..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Nuke79:
i was thinking about this, but at this moment i have no enough time to edit the whole theme....

but i'm still thinking about this ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
i think that your lighting at the top of the icons should be curved like the slider in tf3d. not like a white light, but it could look more clear. i think it would integrate into tf3d more seamlessly. but overall, its great! thanks a lot!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xkaiser:
Multilang by registry entries

Instead of translate text in .brn files (pictures), why don't do that by puting text in registry entries for eatch APP_x ? (HKLN\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_"x"\Name)

When insert name labels in these registry keys, it appears on screen, but in small text and at wrong place. So, I think that will be simple to tweak these key entries (Name; With; xPos; yPos) and add new ones :TextFont; TextHeigth, etc.

So, I ask developers to make a .cab installer for ActionScreen that works with the new registry entries sugested above.

(Fabliv, what do you think?)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fabliv:
Hello,

Text in this app is hardcoded, xpos and ypos is for the position of buttons on the screen ...

Use of Pocket Informant?

Hi Fabliv,

Thanks for a great app!

Got a qn, is there any way to link the action screen to other PIM like Pocket Informant instead of the built-in task/calendar/contacts application?

Would be great since most people would prob have other more enhanced PIM installed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] konrad.schafers:
"New"

Is it possible to design the Action screen without the "New" in every item.

It's just that we click "New" on the home screen (TF3D) and then I think it'll be obvious that all the other Items can be without the additional "New".

Like Contact would imply New Contact (since we already pressed "new")

Just an Idea. I think it makes it look much cooler and tidier!!!

(especially in the listed Version. But even with the little boxes I think no "New"s would look better.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bizurban:
Hey!

I would like to help translate v3 to danish (I like the layout better in v3).

Please PM me :)

Great work, great application ... GREEEAT :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xkaiser:
I have same opinion : it's redundant see "new..", "new.."... when already had click on TF3D to do a "NEW" action.

Another idea, will be put the "new" word at top of background image.

Please consider replacing long "new contact" button with shorter one plus comm manager launcher. It would be ideal.

I like your action screen and I'd like to use it but I don't have spare softkey. I think many people would replace their comm manager softkey with your app.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] juniorAppleseed:
Action Screen

I would be willing to fill some individual orders.

Tell me

What each button is and the order you want the buttons in

What kind of Icons and what color.

Which softkey you want the action button to be connected to, and what you want it to say. "New" "Action" or whatever you want.

I also like creating buttons for the nine button action theme that Fabliv made. I have a variety of them that I have already made.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hellodavedave:
Please don't get excited, this is far from finished, and I'm about to go away for a week.

What I have done so far has taken about a week, but I guess its still a month away from a beta release,

sorry about that but I'm doing this in my spare time.

After reading this thread, I thought this would be a good project to learn VB.net with.

I did a bit of VB6 years ago, but since then its been mainly web stuff (php, javascript, sql),

more recently I have been studying oop Java with the Open University.

I'm going to look for a good VB.net forum when I get back, Ill probably need some help to finish this.

Let me know if you know of one, or even better a VB.net for windows mobile forum :)

So far, I have read the text files in and drawn them to the screen using GDI+.

The next step is to write the code to let you edit, but before I get to that I need a little help with something else.

The images I'm drawing to screen do not line up perfectly with the levels in Teeter,

have a look at the first 6 levels on this page to see what I mean.

These are composite screen shots, I have overlaid what my program draws onto the real levels in Teeter.

You can ignore the starting dots as the ball had moved by the time i took the screen shot.

My guess is I need to apply a transformation of some kind on the data before I draw it to the screen

(and eventually in reverse before I write it back to the text file),

but I'm not 100% sure if that's right, am I missing something about why this is happening?

Will there be any problems with this approach?

Maybe I can just move the holes a set amount, but what about the walls?

Anyone have any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dzign-it:
Hi

Im not a coder, but just my observation. The black lines that you draw go from corner to opposite corner on each graphic, minus the drop-holes but there still in the corner.

My gues is the coding is seeing this as a full object. So that data that you are pulling and showing looks correct.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hellodavedave:
Ahh, yeah, so maybe the coordinates of the walls represent the top left and bottom right of the walls, not just end points.

Ill make some screen shots of the rest of the levels to check.

I guess the levels where the walls are not straight up or straight down will give more clues.

Thanks :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dzign-it:
Glad i could help

I code in php and using the GD graphic librays to display line graphs etc always do have stripped down co-ordinates, i suppose its so you dont have to use loads of info just to draw a line. top corner, bottom corner is far more speedy then drawing 6 coordinates or more.

How have you dound going from php, javascript mysql to vb? I keep getting tempted by vb and id love to make some interesting things for my mobile.

Im pretty much high level php/sql medium javascript, high level xml. Where would you recommend i begin? Cheers!

PS: im from Leeds so just up the motorway lol.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hellodavedave:
My memory of VB6 is that in general, all the books are wrong.

I really struggled to find examples that worked without fiddling around with it.

VB.net has been a similar experience, maybe a bit easier because Visual Studio has improved so much. I'm still a massive noob with it so I cant really give you that good an answer.

I'm starting to realise that the reason I find programming for the web so much easier than for windows is that the latter has so much more to deal with.

If you think on the web, your playing field is the browser, in windows, your playing field is the OS. There is so much more that you can do, finding help with what you want to do is so much harder.

Some people are very good at working out how to get something working, it sometimes takes me hours to solve one little problem. I don't have that much formal training in programming, so I tend to work by fiddling with things until they work. The difference in php is I've seen so many working examples that I know what I am doing is 'a good way' to be doing it.

In VB I have no idea if what I am doing is good, its just the only way I've found that works. Eventually I will release the source files for this, in the hope that 'good' VB programmers can help me do things in 'a good way'.

Where to begin? Get yourself a copy of Visual Studio, there are loads of versions, don't ask me which one you need, I don't know, I got mine of a friend who runs a software company, they have some package of set software from MS and more licenses than she needs.

Bookmark the MSDN library and start reading :)

All I use at the moment is that page and google.

Good luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hellodavedave:
Problem solved, it was pretty simple in the end :o

The top left, bottom right thing dzign-it pointed out (many thanks),

and the gdi draws the hole with the coordinates you give as top left.

I can move on to the actual editing now :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dzign-it:
Hey

Great to hear, not many people seem interested in this lol, i am though, a level editor would be fantastic, and im sure when you have a beta out for people to start making thier own levels etc..everybody will jump on board.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Brunkage:
yeah go for it

go for it hellodavedave. People will be glad. :)

and credit to you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xep624:
yeah!

That would be nice!

My little 2-year-old girl loves Teeter but she only solves the first level.

I wanted to cook my own ROM and hoping to get a leg up.
