Hi francarl,

Great work with the FingerSuite, really REALLY improves the look and usability of our WinMo devices...that being said, our WinMo devices only support 32 simultaneous processes running at once.

Do you think the next version of FingerSuite would be running as a service? If not that, then only one EXE for both FingerMenu and FingerMsgbox, each configurable through a setting (whether it's enabled or not)?

I know that WinMo 7 probably won't have this limitation, but as of these days, my process count is quite high (since my Xperia has a poopload of RAM, so why not use it?)

Anyways, again, great work with the app, and I wish you all the best!

Ciao!!

I found a bug! using SHSB iLauncher, when I use the reset feature in ilauncher and the promp for the soft reset is displayed the device freezes and the only solution is tho use the soft reset hole in the device with the stylus.

I have an iPAQ 600 series, and is the only problem I have encounter so far, is there a way to add that message promp to the exeption list?, every time the promp apears the device locks and there is no more response.

I want to use a similar method as Fingermenu to hook into the SIP Menu. So, when someone presses the little triangle icon next to the SIP, that normally brings up the SIP Menu, my program would be called instead. Does anyone know what DLL is responsible for the SIP Menu? Thanks!

*1st thing 1st I like to make clear that FingerMenu works flowlessly on my Onmia i910 but Fingermsgbox seems to experiance issue displaying the Samsung Widget notice about attempting to display any today plugins when the Samsung Widgets plugin it active... Any time it is attempted to load something that wants to add a plugin on the today screen the menu comes up stating "Samsung Widgets is not compatible with other today items, so it will be displayed only Samsung Widget." with a OK button that can not be pressed and wont go away until system is rebooted and if Fingermsgbox is set to start on startup the box will show at startup and simply wont let unit boot any further. (This does not happen when the default menu shows without fingermsgbox active.

*

Now I have tried excluding everything that is showing in excludsion drop down list but none of these appear to be

the issue. Do anyone know a way to resolve this issue? Maybe even add a delay on load time before fingermsgbox application activates so if this situation does happen the default menu will be active for a minute to allow the notice to be cleared. I love this application and I perfer to configure it to activate at startup but I cant do this until a solution is found..

*

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
Add shell32.exe to fingermsgbox exclusion list (you have to write it manually because shell32.exe doesn't appear in process list). This will disable Fingermsgbox for all today plugin, sorry.

Wait for new incoming release, i'll add a new exclusion list based on window title and class name. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Hey francarl, glad to see you're still working on this! Are you planning on making it any smoother? Currently when I use it, it pops up at about 2/3rds way up the screen and then animates from there instead of smoothly rising from the bottom task bar. Makes it look jumpy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fireball2k:
Great piece of software :)

Since newer Manila-Versions already implement the FingerMenu-Style - would it be possible to have FingerMessageBox as stand-alone app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] atzaus:
I have been experiencing a bug which I believe I have reported before. Whenever you launch an application which has missing dependencies and you get the message that the program cannot launch because one of its dependencies might be missing figermsgbox gets stuck and you have to soft reset the device. Are you aware of this bug franccarl?

Thanks

Umm.. i tried installing! THe menu thing works fine, but the msgbox isnt opening. When i click the MsgBox file, it either hangs my device, or just stays idle. Im trying a uninstall and a fresh install. lets see what happens. help needed :)

Even i hard reset, and installed again. Still no luck! I have xda orbit ii. The MsgBox isnt opening.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] M.Ozturk:
Its really gread piece of software. One big point for me is that it makes my Xperia really slow and it lets freeze my phone for many times. So I had to remove it again. Now, my phone is faster again, but I miss this software a lot. I hope that it will come with a lighter version.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dan_ru:
1) Impossible to quit from FingerMenu and from FingerMsgbox. Left_soft_key/"Exit" - don't work.

2) Now it possible to run second instance of FingerMenu (after "exit"). And soon after this it make device freeze. (see photo)

I have installed the last version of fingersuite, v1.12. I have tested and I find a bug on my Xperia. When I click on the title menu (left-top) on explorer to go to my memorycard, the menu pops out on the bottom, but it dissepears immediately and the default menu opens. (Its the new feature where im talking about.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] muccamucca:
installed last version.

I've touch pro (original rom) + pocket plus. I use pocket plus' close button menu (tapping up/right corner). When I tap for viewing close menu button (up/right corner), finger menu appears .. but is empty.

No problems with the previous version ... any suggestion ?

However thanks for your great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Solaris_irc:
Installed and runing v1.12RC8 on iPAQ 610c with WM6.1, no more hang on reset promp from iLauncher!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!. I'll make some tests, but for now is really stable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] muccamucca:
sorry ... need to read deeply the thread: the answer was several post before.

here you are:

That was my magic answer!! I just tried this and it WORKED to fix the SPB Pocket Plus menu issue I was having. I opened the OK button menu, and while the blank FingerMenu was open, I pressed the left softkey and chose to add to the exception list. POOF! My Pocket Plus menu appears normally now, unaffected by FingerMenu!

The listing in the exception list was "service.exe".

FingerMenu appears to work normally in all the other apps I've tried.. testing continues, hopes are high

Hi there!

Has the SPB MS calendar bug been sorted out?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastnikita:
Now FingerMenu tries to display QuickMenu items (I can't decide if this is good or not !)

but it fails to display the text (so by now, it's not good :D).

Bugs with WkTask and SPB diary looks like sorted out, and the whole thing looks faster : nice job !!!

The ONE feature I'd like to see is:

close FM when user tap outside the menu (on the faded background).

That would be really convenient !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SwimmerBoy:
True... I used QuickMenu and when i click on start button, fingersuite opens quickmenu in fingersuite style but without success... No text after the buttons...

Can you provide a option about using fingersuite in start menu or not?

Another thing, how can I quit the program? In TaskManager, I can't quit it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
the answer is in left soft key menu (yes, it's hidden!). See videos for demonstration. Also I strongly suggest to add QuickMenu to process exception list. I will include this exception in cab.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SwimmerBoy:
Thanks...

However, if you could fix the text problem in fingermenu while using quickmenu, maybe you could have more users using fingersuite.

Well done app, keep up the good work... (lighter and faster ;))

Hi,

if I open a menu, is the only way to close this menu by pressing the right "Close" softkey?

I would prefer if I could close the current menu by tapping on the background. Is this possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
No, you can slide from right to left to close. If you are in a submenu, this causes to return to previous menu :)

"Copy To" bug in Resco Explorer

When I use the "copy to" function in Resco Explorer, it automaticaly copy to a random folder and won't let me choose. I tried to copy some graphics files from my sd card to the windows folder and it put them all over the place. It looks to me like double tapping. The menu comes up and the spot where you tap is also the spot where it put the files, which ever folder that happen to be in the same spot after the menu disapper and the destination folders come up. Same behavior with the dpad.

Suggest you add a "Quit" into the left soft key when in the FM menu. When changing skins or adding an exemption you must stop the program and restart, many do not know how to stop the program..

Bug report:

A view pages before, I posted a bug on my Xperia. It's about the quickmenus on the left-top of programs. (In the youtube video demonstration it calls 'owner draw menus'.) When I click on these quickmenus, the fingersuite displays. But within a second fingersuite dissapears automatically and the menu opens in the default way of windows mobile. But when I click on normal menus (left-bottom), fingersuite works normal. It's only the quickmenus that works not good.

Now, I found the bug. The bug dissapears when I turn on the option 'disable bkg transparency' on the menu options. So, when the background is black I get the bug. Now, I have removed the 'V' in that option and the menu of fingersuite displays like how it has to be.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Algus Helm:
It happened with me once with my kaiser on file explorer when I click on the quick location menu (at the top left). 2 menus appeared. But at the second time it doesn't show anymore.

I think the app was learning that kind of menu.

SIP shouldn't close after FINGER MENU activated

Hihi,

I've totally so love this program! but got a small usage problem.

For example in SMS writing.

Not sure if it's my Wm61 or my phone, but if my SIP (Block writing) is UP (ie in SMS), after I click on MENU shows the fingerMenu, after it closes, the SIP wrongly closes also.

It can be frustrating when writing sms which requires some cut/paste. Have to keep re-opening the SIP each time.

Anyone else have the same prob? (am using v1.11)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wizaard:
Hi,

first of all thank you VERY much for this great app. I also have two little issues...

1) Just like the guy above me, I also have a problem with SIP and your FingerMenu - if the FingerMenu opens itself and than closes, the SIP (standard Touch Diamond EzInput) doesn't appear again - is it possible to add to the app a function that would automatically reopen the SIP? :cool:

2) Somebody has already reported some problems with those custom menus (for example the menu on the top left within the File Explorer) - for me (Touch Diamond, 2.03 stock ROM) these menus almost never work - they start to render themselves but as soon as some menu item with an icon or image starts appearing, the FingerMenu closes and the standard menu launches. Strange thing is that Windows Media Player doesn't suffer from this error. :confused:

And by the way - will the app ever be some sort of service instead of normal running process?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
1) thank you for your suggestion. I'll try to resolve SIP bug in next release.

2) standard menu appears when fingermenu can't render owner draw menus (such as fexplore folder selection). I really don't know why sometimes it does not work; I have to investigate further.

3) Many of you ask to implement fingermenu and fingermsgbox as service. This will be done in next release.

thank you.

Finger Suite and SPB Mobile Shell 3

Hi,

first of all: Great App, it really goes a long way towards retiring that pescy stylus :).

I'd like my two cents as to SPB Mobile Shell 3, though:

1) The missing link in the settings menu appears after a soft reset.

2) The one thing that doesn't work for me is the "select new Background" function: it seems to use the stock windows picture viewer to select a picture. Near the top there are two drop down menus: one specifies the sort order, the other the directory. Both work fine with Finger Menu in the picture viewer itself but crash the Finger Menu app when it is opened by SPB MS: After selecting something, the menu freezes, requiring a soft reset :confused:. What's more, I can't seem to find what to exclude in FM's settings - neither SBP MS nor the picture viewer work :confused::confused:.

I'm using this on a Polaris (O2 XDA Orbit 2) with the current official O2 WM6.1 ROM.

Keep up the great work,

great software but i've got a problem with a today plugin. I'm though i've read somewhere here that you fixed the problem with phonealarm but i don't find the post again.

If i click in the red circle (1th picture), there comes a pop up with information like second picture. But when Fingersuite is active its lock like the 3. picture. I've tried it with the shell32 exclusion but it dont works.... can someone help me?

If you're using 1.12RC8, you can exclude it by windows class.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tomko:
Thx for the fast reply and yes I use the 1.12rc8. Ok I'm tried to find a solution with className an find the post 7 in this thread, but which ClassName I have to copy in this file...

is this wright?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FingerMenu\App1]

"ClassName"="PhoneAlarm"

"Enabled"=dword:00000001

Or I have to set the dword to "dword:00000000", because I won't it for this PlugIn?!

Is this wright, I have to Copy it into a file with the name estension.reg and use dotfred taskmanager to import it...is this also wright?

I've tested the toaday screen without the MTPLoader and without Manila, now the conclusion works. So i have to look how I can deaktivate it in the MTP Today Screnn :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alexirsi:
Don't think so complicated... ;)

Just open up the menu so it looks like this, and then press on the lower left "softkey" (in fact the softkey isn't labeled).

Then there's an option to exclude it either by process or by window class.
