Mute button as record button

since i bought the device i always saw the mute button as record button, with mort script here is my contribution

just zip and put anywhere in your device, as the software Keyborad config to launch it on long press for example, the script will if HTC Recorder software is not running then it will run and start recording, and if it already runing then it will stop the record, the script even has a place to takle device being locked so it will unlock and do the process

mute button to record, help please.

hi everyone. this is my 1st post, and so far, i've been able to answer most of my questions by searching, so apologies if i dun something wrong, or am just dense and missed somethin.

ok, i have a meeting next week, and need to record it, surreptisiously.

1st, as pointed out above(havent figured out how to quote yet !) i've installed tarkim's key remapper.

seems to work fine, but, im trying to make the mute button on the back turn on the voice recorder. i've tried getting it to use record.ink and record.exe but although both options open the voice recorder, neither makes it actually start recording! im looking for a 1 button action to record voices.

i tried the zip above too, but it says 'unable to open, open from within application then try again or something.

can anyone help me please ? my career hangs on being able to record this meeting .

also, when using the remapped mute button, the screen lights up and shines from underneath the phone, which might be a bit of a giveaway lol, anyway to make the recorder work with the screen still off ?

and also, how long can you record for ? is there a limit ? or is it dictated by the storage space available ?

thanks in advance, thanks to all the mods n gurus here at XDA, you all rock, n i'm a confirmed HTC n winmo addict now lol.

mute button to operate voice recorder continued

hi rabia, thanks for your blindingly quick response ! unfortunately, i've been away for the weekend and unable to post.

i have a uk orange branded locked tp2. this has the htc voice recorder (version 1, build 1914.1333) already installed. can you explain please what the above file is for ?

in answer to your question, i do not use a password to access my device.

as mentioned in my last post, i have successfully mapped the mute button to the voice recorder app, using tarkims key remapper mentioned near the top of the 1st page, but this only starts the app, not starts the app recording. this is the app similar to a dictaphone, not the 'in call' voice recorder.

thanks for your time by the way, hopefully one day, my tp2 will work exactly the way i want, but i guess i'm a perfectionist lol.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Rabia:
good, get the zipped file extracted, put the MSCR file on windows directory, along with the link file, then assign the back button to launch the "LINK" onlythen it will launch recorder and record then when mute button pressed again it will stop it and close the application

regards
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Garrickus:
ok, so i've unzipped the two files and copied them to the windows directory. then i deleted the previous association with the mute button, and assigned it to your record.link. press the mute button and hey presto, the voice recorder opens, but doesnt start recording:confused: guess i must be doing something wrong somewhere, but i've no idea what lol. guess im starting to do your head in Rabia, cos it's definately starting to do mine in :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Rabia:
i guess there is something wrong, first have you got mort script installed in your device?, and secondly it it opend record and does not record it might still means u have not updated ur configurations after reassigning the button, to know if the program working correctly or not launch it from the .mscr file if it works from there then it works fine if not then u either dont have mort script installed "http://www.sto-helit.de/downloads/mortscript/MortScript-4.2.zip" or u dont have touch pro 2 :)

regards
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Garrickus:
well, if you'd said at the begining 'do you have mortscript installed?' rabia :rolleyes:

ok, so i had mortsript on my storage card, so i installed it :cool:

and nothing changed :(, except, my storage card became invisible :eek:

so i swopped cards, deleted everything, and tried again, including ur link to mortscript (4.2 instead of 4.1 i already had).

hey presto, now when i press the mute button, it stops whatever i'm doing, takes me to the today screen, and applies the screenlock :confused:

i now have a one button push to lock my phone :rolleyes:

just to make sure, i pressed ur record.mscr file in the windows directory, and the same happens :confused:

to be fair though, my phones been acting up recently, so im considering a hard reset at the weekend as well as re formatting the storage card.

i'll try this again after as i still think this would be a kool feature to have.

i'll keep u posted, and once again, thanks for all your help.

p.s.- i mite be a noob, but i know i've got a TP2 :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Rabia:
sorry i was not suggesting anything, it was a joke, anyways try to replace the mscr with the attached file and tell me exaclt what happens
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Garrickus:
ok, so i replaced the record.mscr in the windows directory, with the record.mscr.txt in the zip above, and now, tarkims keyremapper doesnt see it, so i cant configure the mute key to run it as a program :confused: lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Rabia:
there should not be .txt to try renaming the file to record to .mscr only, am avalable online, i will stay till u get it right :) its hard to write a script for a different phone thats why i need us to stay communicating

regards
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Garrickus:
ok, so i renamed the record.mscr.txt , removing the .txt . then i retried the keyremapper, but again, it dint't see it, so i went back into the windows directory, and hey presto, it had renamed itself record.mscr.txt :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Rabia:
try renaming it into .mscr again coz it has to be this way, or store it on a different location just to try if it works properly or not

LightJacker 1.0.3

Universal backlight fix / TomTom backlight fix

for WM5 & Up​

Hi guys! I just installed TomTom on my S740 and found it still has that annoying bug where the backlight keeps going off, so I decided I would write my own app to fix this problem.

It features completely transparent operation with backlight resuming normal function when the target app is not focused (i.e. when one minimizes TomTom), universal-ness so it can be applied to any app, lightweightness, and doesn't touch the system in any way.

In future, I may also expand it to support configurable key-to-key and key-to-mouse translation, to make some PocketPC-only apps usable also on the Smartphone.

For the interested, see all the details at the program's webpage.

And let me know what you think about it.

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zhuozhi211:
Thanks! I think it is a great idea!

I have been looking around for such app to keep the backlight always on when necessary - e.g. reading e-books, watching video and etc.

My feedback is it may be a little troublesome to do the link to each application you want to apply?

Is it possible to make it a background app, whereby when turned on it keep the backlight on always, but when turned off it revert back to the default setting in Power management.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thenext1:
I've put on my web page an easier semi-automatic procedure for creating the link, you just have to enter the path to the executable and the name for your shortcut, and download the ready-made .lnk file (be warned that it doesn't work with firefox, though, but it does with IE and Opera.)

I don't think it's so difficult and time-consuming now ;)

There already are apps or mortscritps that do what you want, I.e. changing the systemwide setting, but it is exactly what I don't want to do: impose additional hassle on the user having to start/stop an app, and mess with registry and systemwide settings... I wanted LightJacker to be as invisible to the use as it could.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
Hi there thenext1, I tried your app and the set up was fine and it works great, so thanks very much for that.:) I like the way it picks up the icon from the original app, this got me thinking that you could make an adaption of your app that just injected a new icon into a shortcut for any app and that is all it would do, just to change the icon for any app and nothing else, if you see what I mean, sorry to be a little off topic but just a thought. I have some apps that have horrible Icons I would like a simple way of adding my own Icon into a shortcut.:) "IconJacker"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thenext1:
That function is outside LightJacker's scope, anyway, you can try editing the .lnk file and changing the last path after the "?" mark to reflect a path to an .ico file on your phone, and editing the last number to be zero or remove it with the comma altogether.

I don't know if it will work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] parkhaus:
Perfect idea! Sounds like a super program!! I have been looking for a feature like this!

A question: can it monitor several programs also? (e.g. Tomtom and igo and acrobat reader)? Seems like the shortcut generator can only support one program...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thenext1:
Just create a shortcut for each of your program.... be warned though, I didn't test multiple programs at once. It might not work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] P0ll0L0c0:
Has anyone gotten this to work with an HTC Touch Pro? I've tried installing this - and after I create the shortcut, and click the master app I'm trying to keep lighted - I get the following error message:

"The file 'ljack' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

When I click on the ljack.exe file on it's own - I get the following message:

"LightJacker error 2"

I'd read that another program that requires a purchase, "smartlight" was incompatible with our phones, so I'm wondering if it's something unique to the Touch Pro.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thenext1:
Error 2 means that an incorrect command line was supplied - in your case, no cmd line at all.

The other error with the proper shortcut is a windows mobile generic error, and I don't know why it comes up, it should run fine as it does when start ljack.exe on its own....

Maybe your phone isn't fully app-unlocked?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] parkhaus:
A super idea for a program! however, a GUI would be nice....

command-line options are not very handy. And I think that is where the Error 2 comes from. I also had trouble using your .lnk maker.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _Robert_:
Hmmm, your site seems to be down.

Any chance you could upload the cab here on xda?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:

I tried several times.... The website is dead since this morning. So, no chance to download this promissing application until now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] parkhaus:
For a very similar app go here:

http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2009/02/dontsleep.html

there is a version which prevents the PPC from entering standby, and one that does it only while wifi is on. Also a great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thenext1:
You are right! Will investigate the problem.

@parkhaus: what'd be the GUI for?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] parkhaus:
I would love to have a program that keeps the backlight on when certain programs are running (Adobe reader, Tomtom, ebook reader, etc).

A menu for defining those programs would be great! making shortcuts for each program is a bit too complicated for most users.

An utility in .NET CF can be easily made, but I absolutely don't have any spare time to do it.

Or you can use the method provided by the above users, although it's the old method of changing values in the registry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] evilc:
Thankyou very much, I needed an app like this for Memory-Map OS5 (App for Off-road satnav in the UK).

I don't suppose you use winmo 6.5 do you? I have another problem with that app in 6.5 where it has icons along the bottom like 6.5 does - however, as 6.5 changes the width of the icons at the bottom, I cannot see all the icons when in the app. If there is any chance you could also code something to alter the size of the bottom buttons whilst in a certain app, that would be even better!

There is a free trial @ http://www.memory-map.co.uk/ should you care to try and code this in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] evilc:
OK, I used and tested this with TomTom and Memory-Map, and all seems good.

A couple of things, however.

As the size of the app is so small, why go around duplicating it?

Personally, I found that putting LightJacker in \Program Files\LightJack and then doing my app shortcuts like this:

107#"\Program Files\LightJack\ljack.exe" \Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe?TomTom Navigator.exe,101

Meant that I could:

a) Only keep one copy of lightjacker for multiple apps. If there is an update, you only need replace the exe and dll once.

b) Use the shortcuts anywhere. I have one shortcut in the start menu, and one in the app folder. That way, if you have to pick an app via a folder list that starts in the root, you do not have to navigate through the windows folder to get to the start folder, which takes ages ;)

Working on Rhodium (ATT Tilt2 - WM 6.5)

This works on my Tilt2, but with the following tweaks.

The author's site recommends this format for the .lnk file, but this didn't work for me. It produced and Error 4:

123#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\ljack.exe" GoogleMaps.exe?\Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe,101

But using the format in the previous post, it works - the backlight stays on while this program is the front program, and the backlight dims properly when the program goes into the background or is shut down:

123#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\ljack.exe" \Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe?GoogleMaps.exe,101

The only thing not working is the icon. Following the advice on the author's site, I used Resource Hacker to find the Resource ID for the icon, which appears to be 800. But changing that in the link file stilll results in the link showing a generic icon.

Any suggestions on how to get the proper icon to show in the Start Menu for Google Maps?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thenext1:
THank you for using my program, glad it works for you...

As you can see there is a lot of variability in each implementation of windows mobile.

Try putting -800 instead of 800. Unfortunately these are well-UNdocumented features that no one will eventually get right until MS comes in and rewrites everything from scratch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wified:
The -800 does not work, either. Thanks for your quick reply, though.

Any comment on why the format for the .lnk that you recommend didn't work for me or the previous poster, but the different format in post #15 does work? Is that also due to undocumented stuff?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thenext1:
I did not bother long with the .lnk hidden specifications, because such inconsistent behavior and conflicting documents found on the internet were getting on my nerves ... plus, I had to reboot thhe phone everytime because once the icon works (by mistake or not) it gets into the cache and if you replace the good link with a garbage link then it still shows the right icon.

I tried various combinations and the .lnk that you can download from the site worked for me in all cases.

But then I had a WM6.1 build 20282 AKU 1.3.4... maybe those 3000+ builds that we see in new device mean something... who knows.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wified:
Well, I can live without the icon eye candy. The program does exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for developing and maintaining this app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nhvoltagenh:

but you can see in screen shot the path is correct ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wified:
See post #20. Try that format. I had the same error, but when I changed format, it worked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nhvoltagenh:
ya i ended up having to drop lightjacker exe in the same file.

did you find your issue with icon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wified:
No. I'm stuck with a generic icon. But it works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] generated123:

I am looking to solve an email problem in 6.5. Every ROM I have tried does not sort email properly. When you set up a POP account and do the initial Send/Receive, the emails are sorted based on when you downloaded, not when they were sent or received. This makes replying difficult. I find that I often reply to messages that are not current simply because the list is out of order.

In the past I used Emoze on my 6.1 ROMS and it worked great. However, I cannot get it to work on 6.5. The first download works great, but then it will simply not download again. On the phone Emoze shows "no Peer". I have tried contacting Emoze several times, but they have not answered any of my support requests.

I am open for any advice. I also tried Seven through ATT, but it did not work reliably on 6.5 either. If I was out our range for a sync, the missed messages simply never showed up on the phone. About 80% came through fine, but the rest never did.

For me, using the built-in POP3 capability would be fine, if I can get the sort problem fixed. I only need to check POP on the phone avery few days so I usually download several dozen at a time and the sort is all mixed-up.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same, then i updated the PC version, add a new phone by sms link.
