Is it possible to query the light sensor, when the phone is "turned off" (suspended)?

It would be great just to take the phone out of the pocket and its on. Cause i'm using a blackstone, the power button is very small and it would help me a lot.

Please enlighten me :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rudegar:
very few features are avabile when in suspented mode

and 3th party hardware as far as i know is not one of them

basicly device off all power to light sensor is off

same thing with something as basic as sdcard storage and sdio features
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] heliosismagic:
Dear Reflex and all!!!

in case you look for a light sensor handler,please check out the AGEYE.DE site.I don t remember well,but i think it was the ageye profile program.It takes care of light sensor built in the HTC or else!!

Hello,

since I own my HD i really got used to Manila, but still I missed some functions and infos. So i designed a theme for Homescreen PlusPlus UI to have an advanced Actionscreen with some System- and Connection-Informations. It is very customisable, you can edit the xml file to add functions or informations you like. Big thanks to Chi-Tai Dang for his great Tools!

Install instructions:

First you have to install "Second Today" and "Homescreen PlusPlus UI (Advanced Edition!)".

Both tools can be found here: www.chi-tai.info

After the installation copy the zipped folder "Actions" into the Homescreen PlusPlus directory ("\Program files\HomeScreen PlusPlus\Actions" or however the Program folder is called in your language) and also copy the Actions_eng.xml into the Homescreen folder (not in the Actions folder!)

Copy the "Manila.jpg" into your Wallpaper directory.

Assign Second Today to TouchFlo Softkey:

- use a Registry Editor to edit HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeRSKPath (or LSK) to \Program files\SecondToday\SecondToday.exe...

- ...and enter a name in HomeRSKText (or LSK)

Second Today Setup:

- start "SToday Settings" and select the Manila.jpg as custom Backgroud

- activate only the HomeScreen PlusPlus Plugin

- set the Soft Keys, one should be assigned to "\Program files\SecondToday\SecondToday.exe" to be able to switch back to TouchFlo

Configure HomeScreen Plus Plus:

- tap and hold on the default Homescreen Theme, select options

- in "General" Tab select "Show CPUSpeed"

- in "Indicator" Tab select "Shwo more Indicators" and "Show Powerdrain"

- in "Adavanced" Tab select the Theme Actions_Eng

- in "CallTimes" Tab select "Count Call Times" and all other options, setup your Count Plan

- in "Data Calls" Tab select all options and enter you Data Plan details

- thats it, tap ok and enjoy the new HomeScreen

If not everything is shown tap an hold in the header and check in "Show rows" if all rows are selected.

A german XML-File is also included in the ZIP-File.

For further informations regarding th customisation of the XML file check www.chi-tai.info

---UPDATE---

Default email Account:

The create email button leads to a Hotmail Account (my default account). To change it to your default account just edit the XML-File and enter your account in line 14:

<Item class="space" ontap="StartApp" path="\windows\tmail.exe ::-service "your account" -to "" ">

Button function problems:

By editing the XML-File you can also change the functions of the other buttons if they don't work for you, for example in non-Stock roms.

See post #9 if you have problems with Dutty's EXTREME ROMs. Thanks to Ascenca83 for his fixes.

Switching Animations:

If you want to switch between the three screens with animations (e.g. rotating cube, slide out, zoom in, alpha blend in,...) you can edit the animate attribute in line 2 of the XML-File from "0" to the animation you like. You can find the different animation numbers here:

Hello,great job ! I install it immediatly and translate xml file . Thanks .
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] edl:
Thank you very much

Great work, now my HD gets better and better, nearly perfect..... .

Tahnk you, the German Version works great.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] steed_23:
looks sweet.......

will this work with dutty's 2.5 or you got to have a stock rom??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ascenca83:
Hi

I dont know why, but every time I try to install the "Second Today" or "Homescreen PlusPlus UI (Advanced Edition!)" cab I receive a message that the installation was not successful. Does anybody know why this could happen?

I am on a dutty XTREME 2.4 rom. Or is "Second Today" and "Homescreen PlusPlus UI (Advanced Edition!)" not compatible with the new v3 manila from the rothium/topaz?

Thanks in advance!

Ascenca
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bennib.:
I'm using it on a stock rom, but normally it should work with other roms too.

The tools should be installable.

Chi-Tai wrote the following in his forum:

"sometimes other today-plugins interrupts installing of HS++UI. A workaround is to disable any today-plugins, then install HS++UI and enable the today-plugins afterwards."

Perhaps you can try to disable TouchFlo for the installation of the tools.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ascenca83:
Also after disabling all today plugins (icl. tf3d) I wasnt able to install the ST and HS++ :(

Are there other propositions to install these progs?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ozzy1:
Worked great on a stock rom Norwegian! Excelent :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ascenca83:
So I finally got it working (had to use the V0.4.0 of ST and the exe installation of HS++ 1.06).

There are 2-3 things which doesnt work right on the new manila v3 rom:

1. The Email button doesnt bring me right to the email input interface (I only get the screen, where I can choose my Internet account)

2. Same thing as mentioned in 1. happens with the MMS button.

3. The calculator Button doesnt start the calculator, nothing happens.

4. CPU Speed wont be displayed also its checked in HS++ options.

All other buttons seem to work as they should! Really nice work!

Could you help me to fix my above mentioned problems? Would really appricieate it!

Edit: I now fixed problems 1,2 and 3.

I now linked psShutXP instead of the calculator (and made a new icon for it).

I linked the Email to my gmail account.

I linked the MMS icon to the MMSLauncher.exe

What I changed in details in the Actions_ger.xml is the following:

For the Email:

<Item class="space" ontap="StartApp" path="\windows\tmail.exe ::-service "Hotmail" -to "" ">

<image src="Mail.png" left="47" top="85" />

</Item>

to

<Item class="space" ontap="StartApp" path="\windows\tmail.exe ::-service "Gmail" -to "" ">

<image src="Mail.png" left="47" top="85" />

</Item>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For MMS I took the MMsLauncher from the ammar 12 button action screen:

<Item class="space" ontap="StartApp" path="\windows\tmail.exe ::-service "MMS" -to "" ">

<image src="MMS.png" left="341" top="85" />

</Item>

to

<Item class="space" ontap="StartApp" path="\windows\MMSLauncher.exe">

<image src="MMS.png" left="341" top="85" />

</Item>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I changed the Calculator to the Program psShutXP:

<Item class="space" ontap="StartApp" path="\windows\mobilecalculator.exe">

<image src="Calculator.png" left="341" top="325" />

</Item>

to

<Item class="space" ontap="StartApp" path="\Program Files\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe">

<image src="shutdown.png" left="341" top="325" />

</Item>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install my mod do following:

1. Install and setup the programs as written in the first post.

2. Download the attached Ascenca_Mod_HS++.zip file.

3. Place the shutdown.png into the "\Program Files\HomeScreen PlusPlus\Actions" folder

4. Place the MMSLauncher.exe into the "\windows" folder

5. Place the psShutXP Folder into the ""\Program Files" Folder (if not already installed there)

6. Replace the Actions_ger.xml with the one in the zip File (never forget to make a backup!)

Now everything should run as it should on the Dutty XTREME ROMs :)

Keep up the good work!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bennib.:
Hi Ascenca,

great that it works for you now and thanks for your fixes.

I forgot to mention that you have to enter the email account you wish to send your emails from, I will put this info in the first post as well as your other comments.

The good thing about HS++ is that you can edit the xml file easily to add the functions you like and get a fully customized Actionscreen. You only have to create the corresponding icons.

Hope you enjoy your additional Homescreen... :)

bennib.

edit:

@Ascenca83 regarding problem 4:

If you want your CPU Speed to be displayed on the Status screen you have to assign the item class "cpuspeed" to one of the lines in the xml-file.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ascenca83:
No its ok. The CPU Load is much more informative. Only problem is that it will only be displayed after 4-5 seconds. Cos of that I always thought it wouldnt work. But its working as it should. Perhaps I will lower the polling rate so the percentage will display sooner.

Thanks again for your mod! Really awesome!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WM_Rizzo:
Thanx, great work! This is the kind of launcher i wanted all the time.

I'd like to change certain things, remove things i don't need and replace them with, for instance, reset button, or something else. Where would i get the exact application paths or registry settings for this? Any wikis, guides or lists on this somewhere?

Care to give a list of apps, tweaks & customizations you have?

Hey guys,

Having some trouble setting this up. After installing HomeScreen and SecondToday and following the directions, when I launch SecondToday and check HomeScreen PlusPlus and go back to SecondToday, nothing happens. Did I miss something?

Thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DorkyDev:
I'd love to be able to use this but one problem, I'm already using one instance of HomeScreen++ with a TF2D Blue_Ocean theme.

Is there a work around for this? I tried installing BatteryStatus but it didn't work right because some of the tabs were missing for some stuff..

Hello,

I see, when people make TF3D Themes, that they have it in landscape. Looks beautiful in Landscape.

But thats the problem.... I CAN'T make it go to landscape!!!!!

I have used the following programs:

ScreenRotate

Flip-It

Gyrator2

Among a few others.

If anyone can provide me a .CAB for a GOOD sreen rotation app for Touch Flow 3D with instructions on how to set it and make it work would be great, if not, just help me set the apps already made if it works for you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Виток:
BUMP!

Works when Touch Flow 3D is disabled, nothing flips Touch Flow 3D to landscape mode.

How do you guys do it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pegasus013:
TF3D Landscape

there are special ROM's included TF3D with Landscape Mode.

If you want TF3D Landscape you have to flash another ROM.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Виток:
I want the ORIGINAL ROM though. Preferably with Russian Language.

I have the original ROM from HTC with FULL Russian.

Anywhere to get it with TF3D Landscape???

Or any GOOD ROMS out?

Your Help is Much Appreciated.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Djemba:
Manila landscape is not possible for your original ROM.

Plenty of very good custom ROMs are available though, which are a lot better than your custom ROM. However for non WWE languages applied to ROMs with the latest manila version you need wait a little longer. I believe people are working on it as we speak.

For more information check the ROM section, as from which all this information was already available on the first place.

rom to rotate

whats the best rom out there thats has more than the original rom that i got please help htc touch hd
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
If you like the original rom and want a very original feel with more smoothness/speed and a couple more features as well as many bug fixes look at Dutty's 3.0 Final Release rom.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] CraZyLiLbOy:

Use HD Tweak to enable landscape then assign your call key to rotate in buttons part of settings.But you cant rotate on original roms only Manila V3 roms. If old manila rotates it goes all messed up then reverts back to portrait
[Wing, P4350 General] Peewee43:
No one answered me in my theard "Need cab or help finding it", so let me ask in a different way. I need my music to automaticlly play on my bluetooth with out toggling it every time i get off phone or close an app. Is it a reg edit or something. The rom that does it is f1rick's rom (20757.1400 & 21040.1600) and it has (BT+p 1_2_33309_91, Bluetooth settings 2_11_0_0, and BTSAP3_2_0_R5) are these bluetooth cabs or reg edits or what? But, f1rick's rom isn't a touchflo rom and Im running gullums last rom(5.2.20931 "touchflo").

So could someone please help me and get rid of that other post asking this same question. Thanks alot for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] noidtluom:
Hello, I recently have been installing a few more programs on my device (Windows Mobile 6). After installing a program, I got a message that said the storage memory was critically low, and memory had to be freed up. Whilst this message appeared, the phone also hung. Trying to turn it off didn't work, so I took out the battery and restarted it.

Not long after restarting, The messaged popped up again. It also hung when the message showed. So again I took out the battery and restarted it. Then problem is whenever I start it up it keeps on saying I have not enough free memory and it hangs before I have a chance to do anything. I've tried pressing the "ok" (close) button to try close some of my start-up programs as they start up but that doesn't help.

I have taken out the storage card and checked but I have 45mb free on the card, and taking out the card makes do difference - it still gives the error and hangs.

Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
the card is probably not the problem, the problem would probably be "not enough PROGRAM memory" which means you'll have to unload some start up programs.

which device are you using?
[General Questions and Answers] noidtluom:
The device is a Dopod 838Pro. Here is a link I found on Google (a review) on it:

http://www.pdasreview.com/pocket-pc/dopod-838pro/

However I think it goes under several other names too, in some countries it's called a HTC something.

Noting that after starting up, after a while I get the error and it hangs, how do I unload some startup programs? Is there some reset mode, safe-mode startup or something?
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:

Hello,

I have Google maps and Tom Tom 7 installed on my Touch HD, but im having problems. The GPS seems to take ages to initialise and then when it does, it keeps dropping. When I go into the GPS settings in tom tom, its finding more than 3 satalites so in theory it should be fine....

I just wondered if anyone else has this issue or possible is my device faulty? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

Cb25
[Touch HD General] brusko1972:
I never have this problem with tomtom and iguidance. maybe your unit is faulty

what rom and radio version do you have? maybe changing radio version will solve the problem
[Touch HD General] cb25:
Stupid question now but how do I find out the version of my rom or version?
[Touch HD General] BanTu:
Did you update the satellites with QuickGPS before u tried?!
[Touch HD General] sparty101:
I had the same problem with tomtom, it seemed to be fine when i disabled agps in settings
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
I experience this issue whenever i don't soft reset my phone after 3-4 days.

It takes longer than usual to get the satellite, and whenever it does, it keeps dropping. A soft reset fixes it up.
[Touch HD General] leebel:
Inbuilt GPS

Thanks for that Psygnosis84! I was using Route 66 and could only get 1-2 or 0 satellites. I had used the GPS download program to update the ephemeris about 12 hours ago so it was not that! After a few hours of 0 satellites, I came home and my TomTom One found plenty and I've been struggling to figure out what in the heck could be wrong with the inbuilt GPS.

I did a soft reset and there they are again! So thanks for the advice! Boy, this is not a good sign about the inbuilt GPS if we have to do this regularly!

BTW: I have a (free) test program called GPS test (see http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=24687) and that was the ONLY way I could find out the COM port/BAUD rate for the GPS. When I rang HTC, they said "Oh, we just see if Google Maps works!" Would you believe it!!! Fortunately this program told me the GPS was on COM4 at 9600 BAUD.

Are there any other useful programs out there for testing/using the GPS? I am using Route 66 for road navigation and it is pretty good. I was told it has more up to date maps than CoPilot 7. I am also using Memory-Map for off road navigation and that is a really excellent (intuitive) program.
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
I've made it a habit that whenever my battery runs low after 2 days using it, i just soft reset it and then charge it.

I'm using radio 1.09.25.14 so it would be great to hear from people using the other radios to see if they are experiencing the same thing.

Regardless of QuickGPS being up to date and even AGPS turned off, after 3 days it just goes a bit crazy. I'm wondering why a soft reset fixes it up, could it just be a software problem?
[Touch HD General] gevans35:
Mine is driving me around the bend.

Using TomTom 7, it works fine for a time and then the GPS stops working. Exiting and restarting TomTom always brings it back. Time scale is random, it can work for hours before going tits up.

I've tried three different Roms, five different radios, two different versions of TomTom 7, AGPS is disabled, GPS mode set to 1.

It's starting to look like a hardware problem:(.
[Touch HD General] marksm:
It's like every other Windows operating system. You have to reboot it at least once a week. Technicians go through training to learn to tell people, "Please reboot your computer", before any other troubleshooting :)
[Touch HD General] oliwatts:
Hi Everyone.

I think I'm suffering the same problem as originally stated.

I'm using TT6 Nav (with WVGA Tool) which I originally bought for my N95 and used for 18month without much problem.

Using the HTC internal GPS I can establish a position easily but once I'm on the move, even down my road with between 6-9 satellites visable the GPS signal will drop out and come back several times per minute.

GoogleMaps works absolutely fine with the internal GPS.

I get the feeling this might be some sort internal comms issues between the GPS device and the TT6 rather then the GPS sat' signal itself.

I have an external GPS receiver (because it has much better battery life) so will attempt to use that but it's not as straight forwards as the N95 to configure so I'll build up some enthusiasm and see how it goes.
[Touch HD General] spud_work:
Turning off AGPS (HDTweak is probably the easiest way to do this) will probably solve your problem
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
If you read the other posts, a few including me have that problem even with AGPS turned off.
[Touch HD General] gevans35:
I may have fixed my GPS dropout problem by moving TomTom 7 program files from the device memory to the SD card. I did this as an experiment two days ago and haven't had a single dropout since. Fingers crossed, it's early days but looking good. TomTom runs fine on the SD card.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=516219
[Touch HD General] gevans35:
Update:

Well running TomTom from the SD card didn't fix the problem, it worked fine for a couple of days and then started dropping out again.

These dropouts are totally random and may occur hours apart. Shutting down and restarting Tomtom always brings the GPS signal back.

I'm now beginning to think that the problem is in some way related to the carrier, although AGPS is switched off on my device.

My problems started on holiday a few weeks ago, with dropouts occurring whilst roaming in France and Italy, my switch to the SD card was whilst I was in Switzerland but the problem returned as soon as I got back to France and has since completely gone away now that I am back in the UK.

I tried just about everything after searching these forums for many hours and am at a complete loss, I've tried ROMs, radios, patches, registry changes, you name it, I've tried it. Now I'm back in the UK and on my home carrier (three), I can't test it as the problem has gone away but I'm pretty sure it will return the next time I cross the Channel.

I am in touch with TomTom tech support in the hope of obtaining the latest version of TT7 software that is certified for the Touch HD, but I really don't think it's a TomTom problem, so don't hold out any great hope there.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
[Touch HD General] -db-:
have you already tried this? Enter the registry and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/GPSIntermediateDriver/Drivers/GPSOneDevice/PollIntervall. There you set the PollIntervall to 3000 instead of 1000. With this tweak and QuickGPS turned on I got my signal after less than 10 seconds and I never lost it.
[Touch HD General] gevans35:
Yes, I've tried 5000, 3000, 1000, 500, 250 & 100.
[Touch HD General] pocketwool:
GPS signal drops randomly.

Based on your experiece, that you have the problem in one country and not in another, I´m pretty sure it must be carrier related.

I live in Sweden and work in Denmark. I drive every day from Malmoe Sweden to Copenhagen. I have absolutely no problem on the danish side. But after passing the bridge to the swedish side, the gps signal get lost randomly. It can be lost up to approx 1 min. but always comes back, just to get lost again.

It could be some kind of interference due to the roaming - well, I dont know. I´ve tried everything. Change roms, software etc.

Can more people relate to this problem??
[Touch HD General] gevans35:
It seems to be okay if I lock to a particular carrier.

I spent most of last summer in France, locked my phone to Orange FR and had no problems at all. The downside is that if Orange signal is weak, the phone interrupts TomTom to ask if you want to change networks and you have to decline using small boxes whilst driving.

I was in France again in December and let it pick it's own carrier, I got dropouts again.

I'm off to France again this weekend and shall again lock the phone to Orange FR, fingers crossed.
[Touch HD General] gevans35:
Update:

It is to do with the phone/GPS interface.

I set it to manual on Orange F and all was fine until I noticed the GPS slowing down, then a phone message popped up asking me to choose a network (presumably because of low Orange signal), then the message disappeared, phone re connected to Orange and GPS went back to normal.

It seems that even if we disable AGPS, there is still some connection between the GPS and the phone section.
