Hi 6Fg8,

the last used skin is loaded now, yes it is wworking.

The full screen is working now too. Great succes.

Now we have to talk about the skins, colors and glow.

I think this is a part of PM's ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darfri:
It worked.

OMG... this app is getting rapidly better and better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
ooops ... indeed. Seems i forgot to set the resize flag

Yes, would be easier i think
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi 6Fg8,

i will post one fast screenshot from dusk dark glow.

The color for power and menu can de changed.

Menu in green and power in red.

It will be fine to have a menu point to select the

background it self. Not fixed in the skin.ini file.

But i think this is more work?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I thought of something similar, also for background image and maybe other settings too (fonts etc), and afterwards save it as a skinfile :D . Maybe in a later version.

I PM'ed you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
ok found the problem, fixed in next beta
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I could reproduce it partly in emulator, and added code to explicitly hide the SIP button on every ooccasion i could think of. So in emulator everything looks fine, and now i'm unable to reproduce it.

Maybe it helps if you describe the exact steps when it occurs on your device. Every click/keypress might be important, so please make an exact note of what you clicked/entered, and i'll try to reproduce it here.

Also, when you see the SIP button, bring PR to background (start another app) and then to foreground again. This should also hide the SIP button (there's code behind the onactivate event). Please let me know the outcome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
That is very easy: I open the program, open the menu, close the menu and the SIP button will be shown. It also happens if I choose any menu entry or if I open the menu of the station buttons.

But this only happens with the menu enhancement of HTC. If I disable this it doesn't happen anymore.

And I have another problem: Renaming stations is really hard because the keyboard hides nearly the whole part of the station buttons, so that I often can't see what I write.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Ok now it seems we have the one to blame. What is that menu enhancement thing? I dont have this on my HD, what does it do? Not sure how i can override this, except send a "hide keyboard" command every 100 msecs.

Regarding the keyboard position, this is done automatically and i dont touch it because from what i saw in various tests the position usually is perfect. Where is the keyboard placed when you rename a preset? Could you post a screenshot please?

Here's how it *should* look (ok this is emulator, but it looks the same on my HD).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi 6Fg8 and peterbonge,

i use menu enhancement on my Touch Pro 2 too.

I have no problems with that what peter discribed.

Strange. Peter which cab file you use? You have a link

for the menu enhancement?

Possible i can check the cab file....

6Fg8:

is that a blackstone in the screenshot?

Screenshots:

1. Menu enhancement screenshot

2 & 3. Station rename

(i can see the first three rows, but i have a real keyboard too)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
The menu enhancement replaces every menu by a finger friendly. This menu displays the softkey bar to offer an option to close the menu. I think this could be the problem.

Maybe you can add an option to show the softkey bar instead of the menu and exit buttons?

I've attached 2 pictures. The first one shows the menu and the second one shows the default keyboard of the D2.

EDIT:

@mike2nl: I haven't installed something for the menu enhancement. It's default on the D2. But it works only if TF3D is enabled or MobileShell3 is running.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Lock Preset

Hi 6Fg8,

you see the lock preset icon in the screenshot.

It is possible to show the icons in the right corner

of the bottom?

I think then it is a little bit better to see.

Or what do you mean? New Version ;-) ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
well, kind of. Its WM 6.1.4 emulator with a blackstone skin :)

Ok, now i now what you're talking about. I thought its standard on all HTC TF3D devices anyway. Sure i have that too, but wasnt necessary to install because its already in ROM. I dont know if its even possible to disable it (and if i wouldnt do so). To be honest, i'm a bit clueless regarding this. It shouldnt interfere with PR.

Maybe other TP2 users could report if they are having troubles with the SIP button? Please, if any of you is using TP2, please let us know.

The keyboard is quite big, now i see its overlaying a few rows of the preset buttons (personally, i prefer exidlers fingerkeyboard). Meanwhile i moved the textbox for entering text up to the display area, that was necessary anyway. So the keyboard problem will be solved in the next beta.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Sure, i can place it anywhere on the presetbutton.

I'm just not sure if it would interfere with longer station names. I'll make a few tests to find a good place.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Toady it is my birthday. 50 years ago i was born on a sunday.

Today we have sundy. So i can be lucky :D

Lets have a virtual party...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Happy birthday!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
OMG ... we have to celebrate ....

where are the flowers, cake, champain?

ah, great ... here we are ...

Happy Birthday, Mike!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] makbil:
Happy Birtday :)

I was born on a sunday too, a year before you :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Thank you everyone...

Ahh, nice flowers and will some have a piece of cake or a glass of champaine?

And all the gifts, yeah and now let the music paly...

glass of champaine - it was a song from sailor, i think.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Yes, one of my favorite songs till today :)

Fiddling the turntable ... whats next? Stevie Wonder - Happy Birthday :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KUR0I:
Sorry, we are late.

Stevie and I were on another Party.

But here we are!

Happy Birthday to you, happy Birthdayyyyyyyyy! Happy Birthday to you, happy Birthdayyyyyyyyy!

And no Birthday in the Dutch Mountains without:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Good Morning,

yes stevie wonder - that is one of my favorite artits.

Sailor - galss of champane - donw by the docks - girls, girls, girls ;-)

We have had now cake for the breakfast. Everyone

a nice sunshine full day and back to the power radio

work ;-). For me the best choice....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zhang_jeff9999:
i tried v1.5.0.5,it looks pretty

i tried v1.5.0.5,it looks pretty and works well .

great thanks to you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
I think the absence of the softkey bar causes this problem. So what about my idea to offer an option to show the softkey bar?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
new Beta v2.0.3.0

new Beta available, see first post

additionally, new skins for v2.x are available! click version history on first post!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Sorry, thats not an option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DmK75:
Hi, 6Fg8!

Maybe, you make icon for Headset Handler, example this?

Is better than system rectangle icon:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
good idea, i try my luck making an icon out of this :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi 6Fg8 and DmK75,

6Fg8: i have PMed you about that.

DmK75: do you mean something like the screenshot?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DmK75:
I meant icon for "Headset ButtonHandler.exe" and shortcut to it.

But, if you use it in skins, is good idea:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi DmK75,

do you mean this one ;-) ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DmK75:
Almost that, only i make icon transparent.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Ahhh, sorry i have zipped the first shot from me.

The transparent version was saved in a different directory.

OK, you have fixed it. Perfect...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Transparent buttons

Hi @all,

someone have PMed me and had ask about transparent

buttons (power radio desktop). It was alittle bit tricky

fo the right colors and the active station, but now i

will show a screenshot for that.

Please comment over what you think about that.

It is only a first shot for transparency desktop buttons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ricarp:
Wil be finished soon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ricarp,

this is something what i ahve to ask 6Fg8. How many skins

i can publish here in this thread. Or is a new thread needed

for the skins?

The purple satin skin is nearly ready. Only the 2 or 3 letter

words must be have a little more contrast. But that is very

easy. So i think when 6Fg8 means ok, i will publish them.

There is a new skin comming too. Because i was clean up

the attic in my house. There i have found all the xmas satin.

So i have created ond more satin skin in black. It is really

cool, but not ready. It is ready i will publish at first the

screenshot. Is that ok the cab file will following.

11:55 o'clock - MES:

Screenshot added for the satin_purple_transparent skin.

The icons for the volume function are chenged a little bit.

If have no one comments i can publish them.....

16:36 o'clock - MES:

What do you think about the black satin?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Hi Mike,

you may publish as many skins as you want. Just post the cab here or send me and i'll add it to the skins download page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi 6Fg8,

ok, then i have work todo ;-). In the next two days

i will publish some skins. Users can ask for new skins,

or when someone have an idea... please ask or post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
This skin is for all the specially collegs

who are working in the same company

as i am.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ricarp:
A suggestion

Hello 6Fg8, with the 2.0.3.0 version now I have the exeption on exit no matter if I set the exit option it in 0 or 1, in full screen or not.

And, the headset button handler works by clicking twice or a long press, but I use the long pres to use the voice commander, so is there any way that it works only by pressing twice to use the voice commander?

Thanks.

Ricardo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Did you try to disable FM driver debugging? (see FAQ)

HeadsetbuttonHandler occupies the headset as soon as Power Radio is running. Currently its not possible to split functions. I'll check if i can build an option for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ricarp:
Many thanks for your help, but no, nothing, continue throwing the exception.

And i'll be waiting for the next headsetbuttonhandler

skin dusk-white-black

Hi again,

today i have finished the skin DUSK-WHITE-BLACK for

power radio. A skin with high contrast for the people,

who use the phone in high daylight and or sunshine ;-).

Possible 6Fg8 can add this skin to her first post. In the

next few days i will bring up more skins.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Hi Mike,

thanks for the nice skins. I found some irregularity on the white one; the radio text is barely readable as its lightgray on white background. Could you please change it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
It took a few days, but now i added the icons to the germany cab, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi 6Fg8,

ok i will fix it tomorrow. I am very sleepy now.

I had forgotten to use yourdemo app ;-).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TACalon:
Hi 6Fg8,

Thanks for this nice app. I just discovered it.

Is it possible to delay the sound. I watch sports on TV (Digital) that are broadcasting with a delay of 4-5 seconds, and listening the radio on my HD, but I use to listen what is happening before than watching it. So, it could be really useful to be capable to delay the radio listening:rolleyes:

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
No, thats not possible. Audio is sent directly from FM radio chip to the speaker/earpiece, no way to catch and delay it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi 6Fg8,

the skin dusk_white_black is fixed and you have a PM.

Mute problem

Hi,

Great application/program.

I have TP2 from Telus(Canada), it's a worldphone with gsm and cdma.

I have read thru numeros threads including this one. And did not find an answer.

Installed newest FMSDKWrapper.dll renamend to FMS_API.dll!

And installed newest GFMAPI.dll v1.6 !!

FM driver version 1.2

Power radio 2.0.3.0

It recognises the antena, and it seeks for stations. (But does not find any)

The mute button on Powerradio is always on mute, i can not get it to turn off and show the volume bars that mean that mute is off.

Thru total commander i see that FMSDKWrapper.dll is a ROM file, and i cannot delete it or change it. Maybe it is preventing the rest of the FM radio api to work properly?

All the tests in The GFMAPI give a succeded msg.

And XFMradio 0.4 and 0.4b seem to recongnize all the hardware as well.

But still no sound or stations found..

Does anyone know how i can turn off the mute? Any help is appreciated.

thks

Ramy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ramy2,

for the station scan you can change the value for -station is good-.

Use menu -> tuner -> set sensitivity to 1 or 2 With this you must

find stations, otherwise there is not enough receive fieldstrange

to get stations.

The mute button on my TP2 have the problem. It is not working yet.

This is a problem with the FM chip (gfmapi.dll). You can follow the

thread for this (at 1st post there is the link).

--> FMSDKWrapper.dll - FMS_API.dll

Both of them are active on my system and PR is running wel.

At all we have to wait that someone has found a solution for the

GFMAPI.dll problem (TP2 fm chip).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
thks for the reply. I set the sensitivity and it seems to scan some stations, but does not really find any? Any thing else i need to adjust? :(

thks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TACalon:
OK, thanks any way for your nice job.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ramy2,

What say the antenna signal top-right? Is the signal strong enough? Find a

different place a do the test again. Do you live in a city or nearby, or more

in a freeland range?

Sometimes i have the same issue. Then i walk 2 meters away to a different

place and i do my scan again. And i have stations.

TRhe rest is the fm chip in the phone. The chip is a mix for bluetooth,

fm receive, fm send and the phone signal. GPS is another chip. And yes,

htc shoud have used a better chip for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
Sorry for the late reply, had to go to work.

The antena says 2 or 3 at times. I tried it downtown and still no chanels lockin.

I have read thru some threads regarding the chip that is used for the worldphone. But they are from other forums. Maybe they might help the programer, she might already know about them to... Not sure if can post them here.

Cheers,

Ramy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Let me guess: You don't have the headset cable attached to the device? This cable acts like an antenna.

EDIT: With the button above the menu button you can switch the sound from the headset to the speaker.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
I have the headsets connected, since i don't have any presets it asks me for them. :)

I know about the button, thks. The problem would lie in either my locked ROM FM files, the chipset itself, or there is some extra programming needed to make it work on the CDMA-GSM worldphone. The chipset manufactuer says it has FM from what i have read so far. Plus the phone has some FM files used for the gsm phone like : FMSDKWrapper.dll (locked in ROM). And I have a bleuthooth radio setup witch has the same issues that i am experiencing now with Power Radio. My guess would be that it is the locked files that are pointing something the wrong way. I still haven't figured out how to unlock and delete them without completly flashing the ROm (witch has no cooked ROMs for it yet, based on my searches so far). If someone knows how to unlock those files it would help me out.

I have been at this for a week now, reading, testing, removing instaling, ect. Still no progress yet...

Cheers

Ramy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
well ... not exactly. It asks for doing a scan, which will run without a connected earpiece too. Of course it wont find anything, as the earpiece is the antenna.

So, does this mean you do not have a HTC radio player software that came with your ROM?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
Hi,

Sorry, thats what i meant.

The software was not installed, only some FM realted files that are cooked into the ROM. The rest i gathered thru forums. Power Radio and other FM radios all work and install fine (except for my locking to a staton issue). Test thru GFMAPI all return positif(succeded). But i still can't get it to tune in. I hear grizlling like sound as well.

If it might help, i have gathered some related threads(from other forums) to my issue. If you want , if i may, i will post the links here. I Still need to do a bit more digging tho...

Thks

Ramy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ramy2,

can you post the link to the other forum?

Or you can PM me. I think tahts better.

Then i can do some research for that.

Thanks in advice for the info....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
no problem, just wanted to make sure we're talking about the same thing.

If GFMAPI tests went fine, Power Radio should be fine too. Are you sure you really tested GFMAPI?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
Sorry again for this late reply. It was that work "thingy" again i had to go to. :)

Yes, but i have the same result, it does not lockin a station.

All it says is sucess forward and backward search, and sucess with all other options.

Just a thought: Do i need a special headset, or the one that comes with the phone is the one to use? Could that be the reason it is not locking in to a station?

It's a bit weird that all seems fine, and i still get no stations.

thks for your help.

ramy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
Yes, i will PM you what i have found so far tomorow. I have all day tomorow to search some more and try to figure this out.

I realy appreciate you guys helping me out with this. I am not the only one with this issue, from what i have read so far.

I will try and sum up my testings and findings for you. They are not very elaborate at his point, but they might help out.

(taken from a quick read) Someone even has this working on a cdma pro2, but he has some registry keys that i don't have.

cheers,

Ramy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I see :) So i wouldnt say this was a successful test.

No, you dont need a special headset, it works with a usual standard earpiece.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
Funny:), well, at least you put a smile on my face this morning. Well all the Aps say it's a go tho...

thks

ramy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
Done Mike. If you need anything just PM or post here. I will help out as much as i can to figure this out. (Even if i am not a programer).

cheers

ramy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Ok, i think we need to be more precise on things.

What apps are you talking about? What exactly did you test? And what was the outcome, both acoustical/visual and messages you got from the software with which you did the tests?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
Hi,

I can not upload my pdf and zip files here, they are to big. They are what i gatherd so far relating to my issue. I can send them to you thru email, as this forum does not allow attachements thru PM (or i havent found the link). It will show you, with pics, where i am at. PM me your email, and i will send them to you. Keep in mind, i am no programer, i am still researching this, but i have read thru numeros threads and tried numeros aproches already. But still no joy. The files are about 30MB.

EDit : i ziped the pdf, it's now 1.33 MB and the drivers file is : 1.17 MB

EDit: Hmm... It says 8.00MB zip file allowed, but it fails when i upload a 2.50MB file...

Edit: upload keeps failling.

Yet another EDit: since the forum does not seem to want to upload my file, Here is a rapidshare link:

That's great I too am very much looking forward to recording being added to this great app - thank you! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
My investigations regarding this are finished. The short answer is, it wont happen. Details on the whole stuff can be found on the FAQ page, link is on the first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramy2:
Could someone post there FMS_API.dll, for a touch pro 2, from a working phone. Maybe renaming my own file doesn't help.

Or maybe post all there FM related files from a phone that has a working FM radio (touch pro 2)?

IF i use the fms_api.dll (all small caps) from a gsm phone. Power radio does not find the hardware. Even if i put all the letters back to large caps.

Recording

Hi, 6Fg8!

In one of "handmade" 6.1 ROM i could record FMRadio with Vito Audionotes in stereo mp3s (in silent place, because microphone sound also record).

But now, in 6.5 ROM is impossible. You dont know, why this may be?

Changes in RadioROM, registry or in the OS?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I dont know Vito, but you could try the built-in notes app, its able to record audio too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
If you need help creating a cab, post a zip with the icons and i'll create one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] morfis:
So far I've concentrated on my local stations (NW England) so any cab would be of little use as a 'UK' one. Many of the stations do operate nationally but with different localised names/freqs
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi morfis,

it is possible that we have here more then one UK station cab.

We can give a local province name too. As sample:

PR_Stations_UK_Yorkshire.cab ;-) or what ever you think.
