lol +1 :D

firstly, id like to mention that this program also runs on WM6.1 and not just WM6.5..

(tried and tested on my own rom for blackstone)

OP you need to edit the thread to show it supports WM6.X ;)

secondly, everything seems to be working perfectly so far.. i am considering adding it to my rom :)

keep up the good work!

ps, this app would be better if it had a button like task manager on today, obviously which opens the app :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
No there is Showcase RC2, but included HTC TaskManager Disabler and X Enhancement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pjam:
I've been waiting for an app like this for ages. Great job.

Would it be worth considering having a program launcher incorporated into either the main app or the x button enhancement? That way we can select existing running apps or launch new from this one program.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gohyc:
Not sure I can understand what you mean by this. What I am saying is the inclusion of TaskManager Disabler and X Enhancement into Showcase RC3 may not be such a good idea, and better if they are separate from Showcase app. It seems to mess things up for those who are not using HTC Task Manager.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Hi tried RC3 on Topaz (StockROM german).

- The list of installed software now stays sorted in chronological order, your app is sorted right in list of all programs. Fine!

- There is no x anymore in the top right in the Home Tab. I must tap onto the blank space.

- When I tap onto the blank space, I don't get the x in the middle, only the two other options:

Something wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
Thanks for the update dude ! :cool:

Same things than Tatsch;)

Then two suggestions :

Wouldn't it be better to swap the close and minimize buttons ? so it will be easier to close softwares ... Then what would be also great is to have a direct access to minimized software (as the HTC Task manager) :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zoki:
Do you have any application running?

BTW, Showcase is great, the only problem I have on my Omnia (wqvga) is that I cannot touch battery icon now 'cose of X button enhancement. Can you make the touch area for it smaller?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Yes, It wont show X or Task Icon like HTCTaskManager QMenu, cause RC3 was disabled the TaskManager in Registry. I don't know, maybe I must draw the Task Icon like HTCTaskManager.. But This is not the bug.

Offcourse, because the current window was forbidden to close (Send WM_CLOSE).

Example:

When you on Home/TF3D, the current proc was manila.exe; manila.exe is forbidden to close cause it will make your phone goes unstable. Also gwes, shell32, etc...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tatsch:
I tried both ways: without other app running and with several other app running.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
:D:D:D:D Yes.... I doubling it, so when you tap the battery, it will launch the bar ( It's sometime annoying for me when I want to press the X button, but the battery is tapped ) :D:D:D:D,

But I will add some configurator, so you can set the default tap area size fot X button..

:D:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anryl:
perfect app

thanx

:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zoki:
cool, can you make a choice for switching back/close buttons position too?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tatsch:
No, tried out.

It's for every application, which is allowed to close (Opera, Album etc.). I get always the normal taskbar with the old x in the top right - no chance to reach Showcase.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Have you reboot it?? or start The Showcase X Enhancement? :confused:

After reboot, Try to tap&hold the close button, what happened??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Rebooted severeal times. "Showcase X" is running in background correctly.

But there a differneces:

1. Starting WM-Album: There is small thinner x in the top right corner. Tapping it will close the window, but not the appliccation.

2. TotalCommander, File Explorer (german "Datei Expplorer) and other app: Tapping shortly on normal x (see image in posting before) will put window away, not really closing . Tapping longer show your "taskbar" with all three buttons!

In Fact, closing an application is more complicated than before:

Before: Just tap the x for most apps

Now: Tapping/Holding/Moving to X
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zoki:
Why just you slide to X, it's simpler (and cooler). I like it very much. But some people don't, so next version should have option for switching places for X and back buttons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Ups :D that was the default behavior (not bugs), so It run OK, but you don't like the way to close the apps, isn't it??...

Ok, please download the recode version in this attachment, and replace your Showcase_X.exe ( stop the current running Showcase_X before overwriting it by run the Showcase_X.exe )

What is this file?? --> This file will map the X button in the right, and back button on center... Hope you like it ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anryl:
in center i got system status with notification enhancement

so hold rightcorner slide to left its perfect for me

:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tom62:
very great job, I love this app !!

the only thing that "embarrasse" me is no icon that remplace the HTC Task Manager in home !

thanks for your work !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
WOW :eek:

Really wonderfull..... Working prefect....

Thanks a million

Keep it up

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Speedyp:
It's superb. Best taskmanager so far. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Looks like there is a lil problem with X Button Enhancement.

When I tap/press on battery or volume control icon, X Button Enhancement comes on top. It means, cannot use battery or volume control icons. :(

Hope you will fix this problem...

BTW: on your next release, please make possible for exclude item(s) via registry.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] giorgosm:
+1 for this :).

thank you nice app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
I already explained before... read at Page 11 -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530564&page=11 ... :D:D

Best taskman ever! Period! Thanks mate! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shokka9:
good work bro!

cant wait for next release...with some little tweaks ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
GREAT!

Simply love this app:)

The new X-Button Enhancement is great

Request for that: Is it possible to make it more like the "large title bar" like the screenshot?

OR, even better, something like the Zoom-status from Acer: http://forum.xda-dev...?p=3957575

Keep up the good work! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] finsmaniac02:
So, this is a freakin awesome app, like I feel cooler for having it haha.

One bug that I think I noticed though, it doesn't like "Live Search" (now called Bing) that I use for my gps'ing and a few other things. In that, I can tap the corner and it would close each window like it normally does (and when on the first page, it closes the app and takes a sec or two; this always was slow, it behaves the same now) but other than that, I cannot get to the showcase app. Also, if I hit "start" to back out of the app while leaving it running, I still cannot get to the showcase app.

I have not noticed any other problems and even this is deal-able. Would love to have exclusive apps like activesync so i dont have to see it all the time (you said you are working on a config app for this).

Otherwise this really is great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ciccione:
RC3 works very fine for me.

Other bugs apart, only thing that you've forgot is an icon on the right of topbar. :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
I prefer no icon... but if you should apply one, that should be something as sleek as the app, though I know it's quite difficult! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PrivateJoker:
RC3 works perfect on my htc touch diamond. Nice job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dddrko:
Like it or not, there's a problem this way with the OK dialog panels
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tom62:
+1 for the OK dialog panels, but you slide on back button and it's good !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wicked_beav:
Yeah, I also think it would be nice to have the icon in the upper right hand corner like HTC Task Manager... but just a suggestion like the rest. Kudos though for this program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gagvas:
Excellent release ! Waiting for the configuration part !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] intimidatorx31:
I PM'ed the developer and told him to fix his paypal right away.

I love THIS APP AND I WANT TO DONATE TO HIM!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
Just my feedback although pretty much the same as most users:

1) Awesome app :D

2) The need to reconfigure order of 3 top menu buttons

3) An icon for the today screen in the top right hand corner

4) Maybe a reg entry so users can choose their own icon? I use the custom taskbar from tsowen found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512971. So a standard white icon would be just as hideous as the task manager icon lol

Of course number 1 is most important :D:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Ok this is Test Showcase_X with Home Icon ( For Test Only ;) )

What's new with this file:

1. Add Home Icon

2. Remove Fade Animation (Faster. You don't need to hold X button to close)

3. In Home/Today Screen, Will only show Showcase Button

* Stop Showcase_X.exe before replacing it...

* To stop Showcase_X.exe, run Showcase_X.exe again, if there is dialog say "Showcase X-Button Terminated...", the Showcase_X is already stopped... :D

I need your report...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Cool...

Everything is working fine.

But still same problem with battery icon. However volume control icon works now. :)

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
You Mean Like This (look at attachment) ? :D

But I still like bigger touch area (I never tap battery icon :D), so It will be default, but you can change this setting when the configuration is finished...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Yep, thats right.....Working prefect!.... :D

Ok, I use battery icon and important too. Until you make configuration settings, I will be using this...

Thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
Much nicer with icon and instant access to Showcase from homescreen without needing to slide :) in future hope to be able to edit icon :)

Great progress with this app, well done
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
For now you can edit the icon using ResHack for Showcase_X.exe, There is 3 Bitmap on resource, Black (#000000) is Transparent color. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
I knew you'd have it covered, you always do :D lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Can you make the same ( Showcase_X_SmallAreaTap ) with right side x button? Plz

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ciccione:
Ciccione is very very happy now! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
i prefer having no icons at all. different tastes for different people eh? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
The 3 bitmaps you mention are the 3 icons across the new taskbar.

Im after editing the single icon which is always visable on the home screen. Which is the same as bitmap 129, but doesnt the image have its own resource or not??

Otherwise if I replace one ill have to do all 3 as otherwise it'll stick out as bitmap 129 needs to match the taskbar as shown below :)

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
very true :D

main thing is that amarullz is making an excellent app and is happy to tailor it to suit all users :-D

and the support is very quick and very helpful, great job :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
well Ahmad has always been very supportive :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eaqle23:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
I had an odd issue with RC3. When I installed it all seemed to be working great. But when I tried to change my background picture through the today settings it wouldn't work, it would say it is using that pic, but it wouldn't change. I could set it through file explorer (Resco) but not today settings. I uninstalled RC3 and I was able to do it again through today settings....any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wicked_beav:
Everything is great now thanks a million.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmserver:
amarullz,

I love your app. Keep up the good work.

It'll be great if you would add a soft reset function in you app.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Problem

I just soft-reseted my device. Before I did that I installed S2U2 and e-Natives Showcase. After that reset my today plugin (iPhoneToday) is not loading anymore.

Can anyone confirm that too? In SecondToday I can choose every plugin and it works. Only iPhoneToday isn't. On the regular today I can choose non of them. No plugin is loading.

Already tried to uninstall/reinstall it. Same problem!

Are there some registry entries changed with installing Showcase?

Can someone give me advice?!

Fixed! Just weird that I was unable to load any plugin!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] internauta2000:
Some questions to clarify...

Hi amarullz ... Great work

In my Kaiser with the Manila 2D working, not showing the icon 129 on today screen with the version Showcase_X_WithHomeIcon... but it shows no active Manila 2D.

Another failure on my device, is when the instruction is "OK" and not "Close" (X) the application.

You could combine "WithHomeIcon version" with "CloseOnRight version" and "SmallAreaTap version"..? Would be perfect...!!!

Any solution to this..? :rolleyes:

Sorry for my bad English... :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
I have to report the same issue clicking "ok" buttons. You can definitely replicate it by trying to install a cab and trying to click "ok" after it's done installing. It wont let you do it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
zomg the button enhancement + showcase is revolutionary! gonna donate as soon as I get home.

Suggestions:

Right-hand-side X button (ie. swap the X and Back buttons around) pls

Larger X button enhancement for more finger-friendlyness

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DatDereX1:
x button is hella sweet.

but I think it would be better if you didn't have to hold down your finger and slide it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
Rotate to landscape issue for the taskbar image.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Thanks for your report.. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xternal:
Can you also make an option so you can set the x button to close on tap, and then you hold and slide to left for minimise. So the opposite to how it is now :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] internauta2000:
Problem...

In Showcase_X, Showcase app and minimize buttons do not work with Resco Explorer... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
superb soft!!! yo da man!!!!

I want to try the new ShowcaseX_withHome Icon.....

It says "ShowcaseX Terminated". Now, how do i replace it with the new ShowcaseX.exe?

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mr.74:
Battery status

Hi,

great piece, could you please add batt status on bottom icons line ?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
You can overwrite it now, and run again Showcase_X.exe.

I can, but wait... I will upload Showcase_X which configurable soon ( configurable on registry :D )

Next Time, and ask other user permission :D ( cause there is many user want it so simple )...

Try to slide it to top-center, or replace Showcase_X.exe with "Close On Right".. Look at the previous page(s)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Eagerly awaiting...

BTW; please provide rightside X button too.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] internauta2000:
Bug in Resco Explorer...

The bug occurs with all versions of Showcase X and Resco Explorer only... by sliding the finger, minimize and Showcase app buttons is not actived...

Another bug occurs when you finish to install any app, on the screen of "app installed" and the "OK" instruction to close this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] richabi:
+1 to the right corner X button. It needs to be there

+1 to the non slide taskbar up top. if we can just press once and not having to slide to select a command, that would be better

i dont think the arrow and x buttons should be swapped. this application gives a HUGE advantage by allowing users to have multiple windows open and a lot of multi tasking requires info from more than one of those open windows. the way the upper taskbar button lay out is is fine.

it is buggy though

in my messaging window, none of the buttons work but the back arrow button.

the X button or the menu showcase button are very slow when using a file explorer or internet explorer (opera included). sometimes, the commands wont even execute when either of the buttons are selected. i will have to press the top right corner again to bring up the taskbar to switch to the previous application and then it will load the menu or close the initial program.

cant wait for this to be flawless! bind it to a hardware key and its gold. thank you sir for your software. it makes life easier
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.B:
Showcase is awsome, thank you for your great work amarullz

S2U2 is also awsome, and i have the same problem :( (they don't like each other too much)

hopefully these two awsome things will co-exist in the near future :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheBeO:
Very good app, works fine on my Touch HD.

Suggestion:

- param to activate it "all the times", not only by tap and hold

- param to set behaviour: tap and hold, then release make it desapear, or tap and hold and let it on (so we can go back with the arrow button).

Thanks again, very cool ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brol1k:
i dont get no issues with those two apps together, they work like normal

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wicked_beav:
I have an Omnia as well and no conflicts whatsoever with S2U2 and Showcase, keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zard:
Beautiful piece of work. I was using task facade with my Topaz and it will crash very often. So had to use HTC Task Manager but it was not available everywhere, only on Today screen. With RC2, I find that it took a while before it will appear, even though it was running in the background. With RC3, it loads very fast now, and by disabling HTC Task Manager, it's perfect.

It's simply amazing! Thank you for the app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noshet:
Smooth run with my omnia...thanks a lot amarullz..

I really love the mod on displaying the menu once pressing the right corner...without sliding..

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Hi all... :D

Here the new Showcase_X file (not release as RC4 yet)... This file is configurable via registry.

Need test report about stability or bugs.....

New Things on This File:

* Configurable via registry

* Taskbar icon & Showcase Button Icon now seperated, you can edit it with reshack.

* Cleanup code ( hehehe, I add documentation on source code, so it will not affect anything with compiled program ).

Configurations meaning:

* CloseOnRight (dword): 1 = X Button on right; 0 = Back Button on right

* SmallTapArea (dword): 1 = Only X tapped; 0 = X + clock/battery pressed

* HideHomeIcon (dword): 1 = No Icon On Home; 0 = Add Icon On Home

* DesktopProc (string): List of desktop/home proccess [ex:MobileShell.exe], use ";" to seperate

* ExcludeProc (dword): List of excluded proccess [ex:manilaexe], use ";" to seperate

This configuration only affected for Showcase_X.exe...

I will upload Showcase.exe after I am back from my work :p.

Default registry is on the .reg file

[Mogul, XV6800 General] krus_2:
I was sitting at my buddies house earlier and went to check my phone. To my surprise it wouldnt turn the screen on. The green light was flashing but nothing was happening. I hit the reset button and now nothing happens. I wont power up at all. When I connect it to a mini usb cord without the battery in it, a red light comes on but once the battery is back inside it does nothing. Has someone else experienced this? Do i need to order a new battery?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] SecretAgentMan:
I think the red light with no battery installed and hooked up to usb is normal. (I just pulled my battery and tried it.)

I think I'd take it to a Sprint/Verizon store (or anywhere else you can try the battery first) and have them try a new battery before I'd just order one blindly. There is a lot of stuff it could be at this point.

You might pay more for a battery at Sprint/Verizon/Local Store, but at least you won't be out any money AND a phone if you buy one elsewhere and it doesn't work.

I recently got a free year-long subscription of BusinessWeek and read the June 29th issue. I found this humorous, but pathetic article by a well-distinguished BusinessWeek journalist near the end of the issue:

http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jun2009/tc20090617_040512.htm

Did this guy ever laid eyes upon a Windows Mobile phone in the past 2 years? I doubt it. Every feature he mentioned is available on Windows Mobile but he dismisses it as looking "lame". It's almost like he's working for Apple the way he specifically outlines the features of the new iphone. I do see some mildly pro-mac, pro-apple articles in some publications, but this is just a joke, even for an opinion article. The least he could have done was mention the Touch Pro 2, or the new Omnia, with its large AMOLED screen and over double the resolution.

I might have the wrong reaction to this, but I think it's worth mentioning. What does the XDA community think of the article? Just another Apple fanboy, or an uninformed simpleton?
