Sorry, it didn't work for you. This time it seems that crash at writing iconcache or general bitmap cache.

Please try to disable icon caching in settings.xml (find <KEY>CACHEDICONS</KEY> and change value to True ). And tell me if it's helping.

not more than 2 seconds will be great

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rshevelev:
Very usefull application!

Please make available language settings. Some stuff i`ve changed in settings.xml ( converted to utf-8 for cyrillic symbols capability ), but soft-key menus are compiled with app. And it would not be right to edit it by myself.

Hope I described clearly, English isn`t my native language.

Thanks again for you work!

Is the quick alphabet shortcuts possible on right side of screen?

i tried this solution but is not working my pda is an eten x500+ with wm6.1
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] avellant:
Hello, thanks all for comments.

yea, it has been grown, simpler skin migh help:)

I did managed to get it started under 3 secs with no bitmaps, but to get it under 2 seconds is almost impossible with .net framework. Because it loads up certain libraries on start. But we will see, i planning to get rid of xmlreader and get icons to load with steps, so it would speed up start time. You can always leave the program mimimized so it "starts" immediately. I'm working on dumping some bitmaps from memory to cache while minimized so it would release most of its memory.

I have thought about that but before you, there has not been any demand. And english isn't my native language either. In closure I think making somekind of language files support should not be very hard, so i think you'll see that feature on TouchLaunch quite soon. But i need some help for translation, i'm no master of linguistics :)

Change the skin at options :)

I really want to get this solved. It's hard to simulate those errors, because i never hadn't any file errors on my test platforms ( simulators and my elf ). I going to try make file read/write more robust, now it don't "know" how to handle errors, I have assumed that there would not been any :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EvgeniyKo:
Good job, Thanks!!!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zoltair Wright:
Great work! Would it be possible to make a version of this program from the "Settings" menu as well as the "Programs"?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nok11111:
very nice program. True that it's a bit buggy, an awesome idea.

A suggestion for the next release would be to create a small helper utility that would reset "default" settings - in case a skin or current setting caused the program to crash. Also, I suppose a program that would automate the process of creating custom shortcuts would also be beneficial

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ezzie:
Hi. I am new to posting and hopefully this isn't a stupid question. I haven't seen this in the thread and it may just be a newbie problem. When I start the app, it only shows up in the upper left hand corner of my device. It seems to work fine and when I click on an app the programs come up on the whole screen. I also have the same problem with the Splash Screen Randomizer.

I have the Sprint HTC Diamond with the original ROM 1.09.651.5.

Thank You!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itsme_4ucz:
Loading is way 2 slow!!

I've got about 40-50 items in programs list, and loading takes huge time... With this kind of load time i'd rather user default programs link!!

If you can add a feature, which would cache the program list it would be real fast and more useful!!! You can provide users an option to manually update the list OR periodically auto-update it.

But i must agree, awesome work on the graphics, features simply rock!!

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frederikk:
Hi, i got a problem with the 0.4.7 version. when changing an option... after it crashes everytime.... only way is to open the settings.xml with a text editor, and close it, or reinstall program... So if i change no options, it works... else ... :(

I don't know if this has already been posted somewhere, but here is my modified version of the standard skin (Manila 2D Blue) for use with Samsung Omnia (resolution 240x400). Hope it is useful!

Just changed files included. Copy to ..\TouchLaunch\skins\
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] victorpak:
If you're willing to cache the program list, then why not just keep TouchLaunch open and minimized? That's what I do and it's very practical.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] asusp505:
Nice application.

Thank you for your good job avellant
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] downscj:
On my Touchpro, I can change the skin to VGA, to make it full-screen, but once I do so, choosing the "options" softkey seems to crash the application. If I go under the detailed error message, I see the following:

TouchLaunch.exe

NullReferenceException

at

System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawImage()

at Settingitem.Render()

at OptionList.OnPaint()

at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WnProc()

I can give you the rest if you are interested (love those stack traces).

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] avellant:
Thanks all for comments!

I been working for next release, it has:

-new skinning engine, should be loading faster ( completed)

-new skins also allows to same skin be used on different resolutions ( QVGA, VGA, SQVGA, WQVGA(Omnia) )

-skin aren't anymore xml, instead plain text

-fixed options dialog problems

-fixed use today's background "crash"

Todo:

-localization ( different languages )

-improve categories management

-fix few remaining bugs

A question for VGA users how does icons show on your devices? because when I run it on vga emulator, it show only one fourth of the icons.Nevermind, just solved!

And about using as today plugin, first, i don't see why? and secondly it would need many modifications to fit on today screen.

Btw. wapvirus: I don't have any "big group of developers" behind me, and also don't have	schizophrenia, i'm just one man, who decided to give something to this community. So you don't have to thank all :D

allthough I would soon need some help with translating touchLaunch on different language, and also skins have to be remade because the new skinning engine. If someone is interested and willing to translate touchlaunch, send me a message :)

PS. donations might help me working harder :) i'm a poor student, so even small donations will help a lot :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ytsejam_:
wow.. that's good news.. good to see you updating the app frequently and not just drop it after a few releases.. i'll be holding my breath for the next release..

Here's a little collection of shortcuts to control panel's settings made by Menneisyys. It's not a complete collection and without icons. If someone have any knowledge of adding the icons, i'll be grateful
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] avellant:
new version 0.0.4.9!

+multilingual( english, finnish, dutch(partial) )

+new skinning engine, same skinfile for all resolutions

+new settings file format

+faster and takes less memory

+two alpha blending simulation modes

+icons renders correctly on vga devices

+works "out of box" with VGA, QVGA and WQVGA(e.c. Omnia)

If you are interested tranlating it to your own language, see LanguageExample.txt for example. It's very simple. After translating change file type to .lng and place it touchlaunch\languages folder. And if it works, post it here :)

ps. encoding must be utf-8, or the special characters ( e.c ,ä, ö, å ) doesn't show right.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ytsejam_:
thanks! i've been eagerly waiting for the new version.. downloadind it now..

say.. is the skin file still self explaining? how drastic is the changes in skin, anyway?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spupuz:
as always crash on my eten x500+ wm 6.1 :( very sad
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] avellant:
quite drastic.. hard to say objectively is it self explaining.. some people might find it more cryptic. But i'm going to make a exampleskin with more comments( there aren't many comments on packed skinfiles ), it should explain what different settings do.

I tried it, and it did crash, then I modify language file and change ReplaceFolderView and UseOnlyCustomFolder ( items in othersettings) back to english and it didn't crash anymore. There's propably something funny on one those translation, which causes it crash. Try to change those texts, and see what happens. btw. i don't have chinese support so all i see is blocks.

Strange... try the simple ones. dark.skin or white.skin

still same error message? can you repost it?

btw. you can post here without queting someone ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] avellant:
Did more testing. It seems that the problem it's caused by the fact that ReplaceFolderView translation doesn't fit on single line. For some reason it don't know how to cut chinese text in lines.. but it seems that if shorten the string like taking last for characters out of it, it works just fine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] avellant:
and more... :) it string doesn't fit on single line, it tries to cut the string between words, in other words it search a space chararacter, and you're translation doesn't have any, so it crashes.

Here's fixed file ( just added space before folderview.exe, correct me if this is wrong ).

With this version no more crashes when i go to the options panel. But, very strange, no way to install it via the cab file. Error at the beginning of the installation launch. So i took the .zip version, extract it and no problems.

But doesn't really looks faster on my diamond. The vga skins are ok, no need to change them at the first launch.

Hold the phone up to your ear like your talking on it and shake it in the direction away from and back to your ear several times, you hear something like somethings loose?

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] fuzailzahid:
Hello

I am looking to purchase an MI 11 ultra and i had a doubt.

I came across an article online that states that the china rom has received some updates to the camera and that these updates had not yet come to other versions.

However, i am not sure what is the latest information regarding this.

Have these been sorted in other roms or not ?

My main hesitancy is due some information i came across online that states the camera's on 11 Ultra are great on paper, but require further tweaking to make them shine.

I would have used the china rom, but i understand that is not without its own issues.

Looking for some guidance here.

Which is overall the best rom to be used ?

I do not use android auto, assistant, i can take it or leave it.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RoughNeck1971:
That is not easy to answer as it is also personal preference. But from MY point of view I can tell you that I use CN weekly update as daily driver and had no issues. Important is to disable the powerkeeper through ADB. Then you will get all messages (Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram....) on time without delay. Also other bloatware can be easily removed. Still I have around 50% juice left after a day with "normal" use. So in summary I get around 7-8 hours SOT within 48 hours. In general I don't play games. Mostly I'm reading, calling, using Messenger apps or making pictures. I also tried the GLOBAL, EEA and .eu ROMS. But was always missing some extra stuff from the weekly CN version. Can't really talk about the picture quality as I was never staying very long on other version then CN weekly.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Alcibiade:
I ma on the latest Global Rom (12.5.8). The camera is simply fantastic and regularly my friends with iPhones 13 Pro ask me to take the pics for all of us because they end up being the best (Especially at night)

You're right the initial Global Rom wasn't using the most optimized firmware for the camera (The one which allowed the phone to score so high on DXO Mark). But this has been fixed since.

I don't think you have to worry about it.

That being said, with the 12 Ultra around the corner (Probably Feb-Mar 2022) you are probably better off waiting a few months if you can. I don't know if the camera will be a major upgrade (likely not) but in the worst case you should be able to get a better price on the 11 Ultra once the 12 is out :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] BigDisplay:
I have the same camera experience as you... And btw i saw today the camera should be exactly the same on both mi 11 ultra and mi 12 ultra, but who knows before we see the reality 👍🏻
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
Btw,

If you read comments in dx0mark you'll find an answer that says it was graded based on global rom 12.5.3. Not 12.5.4 Chinese as claimed
