Yes, I successfully take control of softkey :D .

Here what I doing now (idea):

1. Tap and Hold X Button ( Close Current Program )

2. Tap and Hold Win Button ( Show new Task Switcher )

3. Option to add vibrate on tap & vibrate when features called :D

4. Map able Tap (without hold) Win Button into another Start Menu program.

Point 1 & 2 was successfully implemented :D But new Task Switcher still on development.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dom1n8tr1x:
Fantastic app! Just what I've been looking for to use with WM6.5 Build 23047.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FurY2007:
I love this program as I was looking for a task manager due to the Rom I am using (Bsb 6.5.1) not having one included. The only issue I have found is when I for example open Email and then close it by clicking the X and then go to Showcase, it still shows Email running. I thought when hitting the X you were in fact closing a program?

After install I did reboot, the Showcase settings show the following:

* Stop X Enhancement [Status:RUN]

* Close button on rigt (activated)

* Small Tap Area (not activated)

* Hide Homescreen icon(not activated)

Using the latest version 1.01b
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Alex-V:
did you have it installed on wm 6.5 23037 and above....when it´s normal...microsoft do that....for faster reopen programs...for me and my polaris it´s not so nice because of not so much ram...for new htc´s it´s good...and autoclose by 9 mb is in the versions...

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] enjoylife1788:
gonna go bak to bsb 6.5.1

was really glad to hear the development of the new version that is compatible with the new wm.

i used bsb 6.5.1 for few days..but i have diamond1..thought didnt give ram issues but just very irritating dat d programs keep opened..

just waiting for ur program to develop and again goin bak to 6.5.1...yippiee...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] malix007:
Can't wait for the new version :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Here new thing your you WM6.5.x Users ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TAEL:
So we dont need to use FixPosition.exe in startup?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Don't use FixPosition, It will conflict with it :D, just use this new ShowcaseSuite.exe :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DomSim:
k, probably doing it worng but having issues fixing positions with new version. i want to fix position of phone, total commander, and phm regedit. i put phone;dialog;connected;regedit;cecmd (i dont uses manila or resco so i deleted those) in at SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses when i launch a program listed it freezes the phone and the positions are are changed. so for example, if i open phm regedit it will open for a second, i can see the position is not fix, it will then close that window (sometimes stays open) and the phone will freeze. is this app not capable of woind this? or am i doing it wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
so this update is only for WM6.5.x ?? :(:(:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cris_rowlands:
Ive just tried out your latest update for wm6.5.x etc..

Sadly it does nothing for me.

Im using an Elfin with "This"rom.

When I click on the start menu shortcut, it runs, but nothing comes up.

I know its running, because it shows up in the list of processes running.

Its also the same when just holding down the start button.

The thing I love about this app is its UI, but sadly Ive never got to see it for myself.

What Id really love to do is bind my camera button so it launches Showcase.

It would be my alternative to the HCT task manager, because of HTCs task managers incompatibility with wm6.5 (ok, it know its compatible, but it doesnt really fit right)

So yeh, the ability to bind it to a hardware button of our choice would be a great addition, for those apps which run in full screen and dont let you see the start button ;D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
amarullz,

You are the man. Thank you very much for making this. :D

I'm on an Omnia i910 and so far I can't get the vibrate working (minor to me). I also can't get the window class reposition fix working for Resco. In fact it seems to have killed Resco Explorer on my device (can't open it any more). Is there a specific size for WQVGA devices that I'm missing? I tried 26 but that doesn't help.

OK, I got the position fix working on Resco!!! The position needs to be set to 17. :D

Still no vibrate though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ecard:
I dont understand, I cannot run it anymore. It does not want to start. When I select the app nothing happens!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
uh... u can do that already. I used to use AEBPlus to bind Showcase.exe to my "Down Volume" button. These days I just use the Windows Task Manager (bound to holding down Phone button) because it always loads and is relatively finger friendly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
It's not an overlay anymore - it sits transparently over the WM 6.5.x softkey bar. By default, u need to hold the X button to close stuff, and hold the Win button to start up showcase.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
You need the WINDOW names, not the exe / filenames. I use G-Config to find out what the Window name for the app I want fixed are (and setup auto-rotation at the same time).

Eg. Dialer is CMPhone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
Window name for Resco Registry:

RESCO_REGISTRY_CLASS
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DomSim:
those are the windows class names
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DomSim:
and just tried again, and again it closes the app, then the phone locks up

sprint touch pro

running 23049 sys
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rmanaka:
I agree!!! Works great.

For those running spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1, the window class name is, guess what, "Manila"!

So to use with spbMS3, you need to REMOVE "Manila" from SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses in order not to have the windows taskbar overlay spbMS3 shell.:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Sometimes it's stuck if you terminate/stop ShowcaseSuite (caused by/conflicted with some HTC stuff(s) like VolumeControl/Enlarge StartMenu/Notification Enhancement), I will find the bugs and fix it.. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Finally tabbing X to close programs, your the best amarullz, btw i love your greenblack theme, my phone rocks now thanks to YOU!, keep up the good work mate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
When changescreen is installed, showcase will not show. It does start (one or more copies in shown in proccess tasks). The X and Ok button features are still working though.

Using home built 20347 using your OEM, on Dimond. Changescreen v2.5 installed via cab after booted.

Edit: Changescreen 2.78 Works fine!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
Hmm, just realised that (some) of apps you're referring to are the "old style" WM5 stuff. Don't think Position Fix works for those at all (I tried it with "Four Winds Mahjong" with the older fix from amarullz and it just doesn't work, period.

Also doesn't work with Opera 9.7 either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
THANK YOU!

I am so glad to see this post! Will try it, thank you. Changescreen has been my absolute #1 program, and this is also a real great one. Hated to have to choose. I'll check this out. Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] o.k.:
somehow it is not mentioned explicitly anywhere: will it work on 6.1?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wapvirus:
Yes it works with 6.1:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romusr:
The application is working fine, thank you.

Please add the following settings to remove device specific behaviour.

- XXX_VibrateChannel (DWORD) this key will specify NLED channel for vibrate, because it's different for HTC and Samsung devices.

- XXX_TapHoldTimeout (DWORD in millisec.) Timeout for tap and hold on close button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mskovrinskie:
Running the Suite now makes the 6.5.x Start menu and softkeys appear over the SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 homescreen.

How is the Suite supposed to work with apps that use the full screen? It seems like it handles things with mixed results. Mobile Shell gets the bottom bar over it but something like Skyfire still controls the full screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matthieup:
works great for me... thanks a lot, now 6.5 is much better...

I'm once again amazed at the talent showcased (excuse the pun) on this forum...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Deosneos:
This app is wonderful, I think the usage of the start menu button is much easier than before.

However, the vibrate on hold is not working. I'm using LG KS20, anyone know what that can be.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anryl:

thanx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kane159:
can any one help me to use showcase 1.1.0 to fix this program :)

here's the screenshot and the exe file

thanks everybody
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NikichZ:
And can you fix this please:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NikichZ:
Try to add your program here:

"SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses"

Type: String

Description: Window Classes that will force to fix the position

Value: use ";" as separator

Default: "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
You should change this registry values:

"SUITE_NewTaskbarSize" and "SUITE_OldTaskbarSize"

default "SUITE_NewTaskbarSize" = 36 pixel for 192dpi

default "SUITE_OldTaskbarSize" = 52 pixel for 192dpi

can you give me full screenshoot of your screen? (not resized, so I can measure the pixels)

But, you can try this values (don't worry, it won't brick your phone :D )

"SUITE_NewTaskbarSize" = 17

"SUITE_OldTaskbarSize" = 27

Here the reg:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]
"SUITE_NewTaskbarSize"=dword:00000011
"SUITE_OldTaskbarSize"=dword:0000001B
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NikichZ:
Thanks, it's better now, but in the bottom bug still exist:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Try this registry:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]
"SUITE_NewTaskbarSize"=dword:00000012
"SUITE_OldTaskbarSize"=dword:0000001A
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dddrko:
Thank you. Working perfect on omnia (wqvga)!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ams1576:
hey buddy my resco explorer is looking like this after cooking ur package

i have a qvga device
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kane159:
try this(I'm QVGA either ;))

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]
"SUITE_OldTaskbarSize"=dword:0000001a
"SUITE_NewTaskbarSize"=dword:00000012
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NikichZ:
Yaaa!!! Thank you!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Look at the 3rd post ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anryl:
is some news with total commander fix ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
You mean...

Are you saying showcase suite also works with 6.1? It sounded pretty 6.5 specific. I know showcase X works with 6.1, I use it and it's awesome. Could you clarify? Thanks

I have Touch Pro, but with 36 and 52, I still have a gap at the bottom, what should I use for value?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Touch Pro/Raphael was 192dpi (VGA) doesn't need to change any registries after installation...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ecard:
I agree this why I don't understand... Is it possible that the value should be reversed?

52 instead of default "SUITE_NewTaskbarSize" = 36 pixel for 192dpi

36 instead of default "SUITE_OldTaskbarSize" = 52 pixel for 192dpi

I just tried 52 as NewTaskbarSize and it fixed my problem :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ecard:
Well... It kind of fixed it... I will wait until you get back to me :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ecard:
Is this required:

"SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses"

Type: String

Description: Window Classes that will force to fix the position

Value: use ";" as separator

Default: "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS"

I removed Manila from it and fixed it, but did I break something else?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ahmedfikry:
thanks for the great application

here is my modified cab for QVGA users only

- fixed hight for QVGA (no need to tweak registry)

- i removed the other images for larger resolution, making cab smaller & less space on device

- removed program shortcut from start menu, it links itself to start button anyway & you can always create one from program files if you want

- vibrate on hold only (removed vibration on tap)

- added fix for resco registry window size too

- true "close" by default (not minimize - now it close application completely by pressing "x")

enjoy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
Say, any new thoughts on the media controls? At this point it seems most logical to implement it into the task manager. How about a version that incorporates media controls?

Thanks for the new version, too. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DomSim:
so this just doesnt work for total commander and phm regedit right?

On my Topaz with WM6.1 it does not work at all :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
My Windows button stays down after using the long press feature. When I exit showcase Task view I have to press it again to release it. Not major, but could be annoying.

Also, any way to also add option for long press to exit instead of Tap?

Thanks for your work. I will give you credit in my ROM :)

-jmckeejr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
Just a short note to thank amarullz's for the Showcase Suite for WM6.5.x AND to thank ahmedfikry for the modified QVGA cab file. The Showcase Suite works perfectly on my Kaiser, and it solves once and for all the problem of not being able to properly close applications with the X button on WM 6.5. The ingenious integration of the new action buttons merge seamlessly with WM 6.5 making easy to close program and activate e-natives showcase. With this new version it is no longer a challenge to activate the program (it used to be difficult due to the new thin taskbar). Its great!

I have only encountered problems closing a few applications that use up the entire screen, and therefore do not show the X button on the bottom. For example Math Tablet. However for those 'strange' cases I have assigned one of the Kaiser buttons to the task manager.

1.1.0 working on 23047

not working on 23052.

the not working think is the click on X/start button to start it. starting it from start menu works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Look at my signature... I was 23052 BUILD user, and don't have any problem except what already mentioned by other users. Maybe registry?

Yes :D ... I will fix it, and already know it before I release it. But I still released it cause I won't have any spare time after it released for a week....

I am on holiday now :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Ok, thank you sir :) Have a good holiday. What do you think about the suggestion I made a while ago about having long press of a process to add it to exception list? I am writing a script to change CloseonTap registry for my ROM. Do I ned to reset to apply changes, or just kill showcase and run showcasesuite.exe aftter? or nothing is needed? Thanks for all the work. I am trying to learn some basic programming, do you have any old source I can play with? I want to make my backup script into a program with possible skinned UI, but not sure on how to copy files and archive them for later backups. Check out the script in my signature if you might want to help :) Very useful for cooks and frequent flashers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] svprm:
Thanks amarullz.

Working well on my sys 23053.

Nice Work.

Enjoy your holiday.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
The ExcludeProc registry was also used for ShowcaseSuite.exe, X Button will not close any windows created by processes that included in ExcludeProc, this registry also used in Showcase.exe to hide some program from task list.

About restart the ShowcaseSuite.exe, there is some bugs that when you close the ShowcaseSuite.exe it will hang your phone, for safest way to restart it is soft reset... I will check again the code latter.. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chelsea_fc:
thanks...works great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xtep:
It works very well on my 23047 Rom. Very well done.

Could you add an option to invert thow the win button works? That is, tap laucnh the program on "SUITE_TaskManager_Path" and tap and tap&hold launch default start menu.

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
I am using 23052 and it works OK. However what I noticed is that after you setup for the first time you need to do a soft reset for the long press functions of the windows and X buttons to work; without the soft reset the showcase application doesn't seem to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Baly23:
at first soft reset still not working.

at second soft reset works XD

thanks anyway, best task manager ever

Problem with Flexmail 4

I have added the window class of flexmail (version 4.01 or 4.10) to the list of windows to be resized and it works fine if flexmail is running when showcasesuite is launched, but when I try to execute flexmail with showcasesuite running, Flexmail does not start: 'Flexmail 4' is shown during a second in the taskbar and then it closes again. If I close showcasesuite, Flexmail run fine again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrnamster:
amarullz,

Would you please share how to map apps to the start and X buttons? I think many of us would like to map custom apps.

Thanks.

e-Natives Showcase 1.1.0 - Bug with Manila 2.1 /Facebook ?

Hi Guys,

i have testet the version 1.1.0 with some 23xxx Builds of WM 6.5 and GenY Manila 2.1 R1.5. It works very nice but there is one problem that i have found:

If i open my contaktcard and want to add the Facebook-login the device will hang and only softreset will help. If i doesnt install / cook showcase in the rom manila works fine also the facebook-login. Has anybody the same problem or doenst anybody use the facebook-feature ?

Hawkeyexp
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
I also use GenY Manila 2.1 R1.5, and use Facebook login, but never got the issue that you mentioned. But I will check it again.... But Are you sure you didn't forget any TF3D2.1 depedencies packages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hawkeyexp:
hi,

yes i am shure - if showcase is not installed all works fine :-)

SensorSDK 4

The one thing I noticed even with the original Manila Postition Fix, is that Manila no longer automatically rotates using the SensorSDK 4 (on 6.5 Builds 23034 & higher). With the new Showcase Suite, this is still the case. Do you have any idea why?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agh1701:
I think there is a problem. I have used the suite with 052 and 053. in both versions, if I open exactly 4 emails and close them by pressing the 6.5 "OK" icon button my phone locks up without closing the 4th email. after removing ShowcaseSuite.lnk from startup and rebooting, I am able to open as many emails as I want.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
I think there is a bug with the new Showcase Suite for WM6.5.x.

When I am using Outlook if I read several emails in a row and I scroll through them while they are loading, eventually (after 2-4 of them) outlook closes itself.

Furthermore my phone (Kaiser) locks up after a while; which has NEVER happened before.

I am trying to isolate the issue to make sure that it is Showcase Suite that is causing the problem, but I wanted to report this as soon as possible so that other users can comment if they experience similar behavior.

I am using WM 6.5 build 23053, but I experienced this also with build 23052

Please look into this. I love the new functionality, but I can't live with a bug of that nature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adwinp:
I couldn't make the showcasesuite replicate showcase's X behaviour.

Any props on the matter?

AHA! Yes I am on 23405 in fact, gotta try the new version now I guess :)

Thanks for the reply in any case!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FurY2007:
Just installed the new version, upon first reboot it blocked the phone showing a "settings" in the left upper corner. Upon second reboot it worked. I like the new tap and hold on Windows button to open Showcase. It also seems to have caused less memory to be in use which is a good sign although after using for a while I will check again.

Haven't found any incompatibilities on my Diamond with BsB 6.5.1A ROM yet, but will post if any found.

How can I get SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses of other program?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
edit the registry in HKCU\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase - SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses

You can change the value into something like this: Manila;WinClass1;Winclass2;Winclass3;etc;etc2

Oh For the lock problem: If you use cleanRAM, add ShowcaseSuite.exe into exception list ;).
