any update?

how about adding an exit button? i'm using WKTask and it always rest on the taskbar, it would be nice if it will exit after launching the "find" app.

thanks wojciechka! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastnikita:
is this project dead & burried ? :(

it's just missing a thing or 2 to be perfect, come on !

will you update or release the source later on ?

Thanks for your answer :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wojciechka:
Hi,

The project is not dead, but we've been a bit busy on different projects, one being a PC software, other not being software at all.

New zlaunchy is being done, it might not have that many new features, but we needed to rewrite most of it to make it extensible. Keep monitoring this thread and you'll find out in 2-3 weeks hopefully.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SaBo:
This is good news

Using windows keyboard

Excellent program, well done.

Please, please, please, add an option to allow the use of the windows default keyboard.

This "telephone" keyboard slows me down.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] immutability:
Excellent app!

Just found ZLaunchy today, excellent work! I really have got used to launching applications this way in Vista (works much faster for me) so I'm glad I was able to find something for my phone as well - much more convenient to type the first few characters than to scroll through a long list of icons in the start menu.

Now, if only there was a way to replace the SPB Mobile Shell's default Launcher with your ZLaunchy, or at least integrate somehow with SPB, that would be lovely! Any ideas anyone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wonderous:
awesome stuff, let me try on TP! Thanks wojciechka

Edit1 : Awesome works like a charm mapping it with in program launcher of WKTASKS

Edit2: Is there a way to minimize the soft dialer keypad in landscape mode? Pressing the Down key does not work, anyway it's a small matter
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] philocritus:
This is great :)

I had searched for something like this since my wm2003 voq phone...

It used to have an app called voq which searched for just about anything...

you'd write and it would give you the options:

programs started by... (like zlaunchy)

send text via sms

contacts started by

search online

write text as note

search on tasks

so we have a bunch of ideas to evolve here :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lokocka:
thanks, on hd2 is perfect :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SinisterJunkie:
Great launcher! Very handy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] datristan:
Great

love it...

Contacts +1

Settings +1

(possibly as multiple toggle switches down the bottom??)

also could it display all programs (instead of a blank list) when nothing is entered?

number of characters typed +1

once again... love it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wonderous:
agreed, great launcher, paied with AMeBa to mount long press of startmenu key to this when i'm lazy to find an app or forgot it's name.

Settings +1,

contacts +1

number of characters typed +1

looking to donate soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
a good news is that development of Zlaunchy has finally been resumed, and version 0.3 should be ready "soon". Not all of required features will make into it, for sure :) But the first one is already implemented - option to permanently hide the dialpad.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Clound:
I would like to say: EXCELLENT APP!!!

Just one more: to show what we have typed, and have a "0" key, can duble act as space also...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] an123:
Awesome app!!! this makes finding stuff so easy. Works flawlessly on my HD2

A few suggestions for future versions:

1. Possibility to include 'setting' shortcuts too in the search

2. See what we type

3. Transparent/Changeable BG, and also changeable colors

4. Hi-res icon :) This is bcoz everyone who uses this wonderful app is gonna link it to the home screen

5. As someone remarked, an option to start off with a 'full' list of programs, which are narrowed down as we type a letter

6. Can this be mapped to the hardware 'windows' button on the HD2?

Have used it for only a day, and it has jumped into my all time top 10 list of phone apps :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Great app! There is one little buglet, though. If you add a folder name for Zlaunchy to look in & the named folder doesn't exist, it'll crash Zlaunchy until you create the folder. For example, if you tell it to look in "\Mobile Apps\" when the folder is really "\Mobile Apps 2009\", Zlaunchy will crash each time till you create the "\Mobile Apps\" folder. And the error message doesn't reference the folder Zlaunchy is looking for. It doesn't take much to figure it out, but it's a pain till you do. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Clound:
Looks like this program did not implement folder lookup function (like the "open"dialouge)

so copy paste is critical here... use Total Commander or GSFinder to copy the full path.

Seems the ZLaunchy is received its very first custom skin...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] glaucos:
Version 0.3 is out, with a nice improvement!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Yes, we delivered !

once you test that new version, please put your comments in this thread, along with suggestions of improvement.

One more thing - previously Google banned our AdSense account (they accused us of fraud traffic on the site, because it peaked up once we announced zlaunchy 0.2), that is why I haven't been doing too much noise about this new version now :)

I have no idea why they did this, it was obviously not fair, but we don't give up :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dgco86:
Just tested this on my Touch Pro 2 and it's working great so far, although it's slightly slower because of the new features. Only real bug I've encountered so far was during installation. It didn't prompt me to remove the previous 0.2 installation, so I effectively had 2 zlaunchy entries in my programs list. It's not a big deal though. Just wanted to point it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Livven:
Why don't you update the first post? Otherwise people won't see the update.

I really find this app interesting. Thanks and keep it up!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
as mentioned, we don't want to get too much attention at once, because google will say "aha! fraud traffic and click! ban!!"...

As for installation issue, it is interesting, I will test it.

Please post your comments and findings.

Regarding performance, please try disabling icons - does it helps? I have put pretty much effort in smart display buffering, to get the scrolling as smooth as possible.

I am thinking of some skin support, but don't have any experience in this - are there any general guidelines? especially for doing this in .NET CF ? Thanks in advance for any advices
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Clound:
Tested. It works better...

erm... where is the custom directory mapping?? @@

[edit]

oops...a bug has been found

Once I tap on a task, do something and close it, and I want to launch ZLaunchy (hardware button),

But it refuse to show up.... (Task is displayed on title bar)

got to kill the process to make it work again. (I always keep this open in background)

[/edit]

roll back to "good and stable" 0.2 ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
That is interesting, the very same scenario seems to be working flawlessly on my mobile?

does anybody else also notice this issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dgco86:
I can confirm Clound's finding. The same behavior occurs only if I use a hardware shortcut to return to zlaunchy after editing a task. I can return to zlaunchy by opening it in the default HTC task manager, but after editing a task, the hardware shortcut will just show "Tasks" in the title bar.

Another problem is that if I close zlaunchy from the default HTC task manager (in order to get the hardware shortcut working again), I have to use a different task manager (e.g. Dot Fred's Task Manager) to force kill the zlaunchy process. After that is done, zlaunchy works fine again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hi,

how do you exactly create this hardware shortcut?

I have tested it on Samsung i780, attached Zlaunchy to GPS button, and it works correctly.

I would like to recreate your issue, so please write (in points :) ) how to do it; otherwise I can't fix it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dgco86:
I just used the buttons applet under Control Panel -> Personal -> Buttons to bind "Send key (Hold)" on my Touch Pro 2 to launch zlaunchy with no parameters.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Ok, the good news is I was able to recreate the issue, and it is only related to Tasks, so it is enough to disable searching them in the config.

There is no need to return to "old stable" 0.2, because in that version there was no Tasks search :)

The bad news is it seems to be some bug or behavior that is not clear for me in WM API. We will look for some workaround of the problem, right now just don't use searching in Tasks and Zlaunchy 0.3 should work flawlessly.

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vauxhallastra:
Great program

Would be good to have an option when starting Zlaunchy,to keep the last search visible untill you start to dial a new search

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sperrypc:
Great works on this 0.3 :eek: searching in programs & Contacts is fantastic... but i confirm it seems to be some bug :(

Tested on Xperia with WM6.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Clound:

4. enjoy ^^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hi,

we will work on fixing the "Tasks bug" in a few days, when only some spare time will be available (well, it may take longer than few days ^^).

Anyway, please post your opinions and requests for new features.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheRem:
thanks for version 0.3. :)

i wish it could also search within SUB folders.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SXT82:
Very cool idea! But i always get an OutOfMemoryException :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maxwell302:
This one definitively needs a qwerty/azerty keyboard !

Awesome project :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] momyc:
Same thing here . Samsung Omnia II

I didn't get that error with version 0.2

Thanks for you application
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
How much memory do you have? what is the screen resolution?

Zlaunchy 0.3 uses some buffering technique that speeds up list scrolling, but typically it is not more than 2-3 MB.

There is also second option, do you have a lots of contacts/programs installed? Zlaunchy buffers them all. Please try disabling some providers (search in Contacts, Tasks etc) and let me know if it changes anything. Also please describe in more details when this error occurs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SXT82:
it is also a Samsung Omnia II, WVGA.

approx. 30 applications and 300 contacts. the crash also occurs when some (all except one) providers are disabled. v0.2 does not crash.

the error occurs after pressing one button. the device is busy for some seconds and then the error-msg appears.

thx for the great app and for helping.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] momyc:
I got an average of 50mb free and about 300 contacts on WVGA resolution.

Like I said with v0.2 I didn't have problems.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
ok, are you able to tell me which provider exactly causes this exception?

First disable all - I guess nothing will happen. Then enable one only and check if it is working or not.

knowing the provider I will inspect the code more carefully, and probably create some debugging. It is interesting because I wasn't able to recreate this issue on any mobile :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SXT82:
with only startmenu enabled i get no result, why?

only task or my documents work as expected.

BUT contacts crash the program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Ok, so enumerating Contacts seems to cause the OutOfMemory exception, right?

how many contacts do you have?

I will soon prepare a version with traces, and kindly ask all of you who have such problems to run it and provide logs. Unfortunately no one from my friends (using WM) noticed such problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SXT82:
339 contacts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hi,

thanks for info.

All of you who are experiencing this exception, could you please contact me on private mail: lee.adama@poczta.fm; I am going to rebuild the code and if you agree I would like you to test it, hopefully finding a solution.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hi,

I have released version 0.3.1, available here:

http://endorser.org/wm/zlaunchy

hopefully it fixes OutOfMemory exceptions. Awaiting your feedback :)

By the way, if anyone wishes to create another short movie with ZLaunchy in action, I would be more than grateful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] momyc:
Hi ,

I just tested the new version and seems to be good this time.

I left on all the agents and no issues.

Thank you !

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acrocosm:
'O' I always wanted that. I'm also a launchy addict and so happy to see this, I can ditch now all of my most used apps "here", then the less "there" and rebuild thouse menus on every rom change so it looks nice and reorder and delete rarely used and should i use manila for it's apps tab or Qmenu or stock ms grid or...? ....I'm tired -_-; zlaunchy FTW

I'm sorry for this meaningless post, I just found out about it and thought I'd share my enthousiasm!!

...enthousiasm can keep you going tho, so it might not be so pointless ^____^

I'll share my thoughts when I've given it some actuall and real life testing but thanks in advance

Hi Apud Active. I decided to try 0.31 out on my TP2 for fun. Seems to be working fine, except that the background is no longer white, but cyan.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
right, some strange bug/behavior caused the bg color to be altered; I think I have fixed it now (download again).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hi all,

trying to fix the problem with launching a task, I have created another version:

http://endorser.org/files/zlaunchy/ZLaunchy-0.3.2.cab

could you kindly please install it and let me know if the problem is gone (it seems to be working correctly on my phone, but it's better to have real feedback :) )

Thank you for all of you, I hope you will find each new version better and better =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dgco86:
Hi Apud Active. Seems like the task and background color problems I reported earlier are fixed in 0.3.2 (haha although it still says 0.3.1 in the About tab). Thanks so much for this wonderful program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Thanks for info!

Right, version was wrong - these are the results of constant lack of time and hurry ;-)

Anyway, feel free to download and use Zlaunchy 0.3.2.

If you consider donating, we will create dedicated paypal account probably in a few days.

Best regards, and I'm waiting for further feedback and change requests
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vauxhallastra:

V0.2 kind of gtx skin

A simple contribution to that great program,

Just a quick inversed grayscale skin from Clound posted before for v0.2, i added too a black line on the top of the keys.

All credits is for the Cound's great graphics. Please pm if you want that i remove that skin and i will do it instantly.

V 0.2 only
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sponge_worthy:
This is a pretty good app. Two suggestions I have to make it perfect. Is it possible to add a button for top 5/10 launched apps and a button for last 5/10 apps launched?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hourglass:
Awesome...

This is great. I use launchy on the desktop and now zlaunchy on the mobile.

Just one regret: zlaunchy works especially well for me because I have a full hardware keyboard (samsung epix). It would be useful is zlaunchy remembered the previous state of the SIP: by default, the virtual keyboard is out and locked on numbers (as opposed to letters).

Thanks for your work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brunobiseu:
I've installed Zlaunchy 0.3.2 on a Treo Pro and did some changes on the HTC skin so that it would fit a qvga (or, in my case, a 320x320) screen.

You can find the files in this post. Installation is as described above. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brunobiseu:
Update: Two of the images (qvga_resultBackActive.png and qvga_buttonsHidePActive.png) aren't displayed on my screen.

Using the default skin/files the corresponding images weren't working either... :(

Any thoughts/ideas?

Thank you in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brunobiseu:
I don't know if Zlauchy (I'm a convert... ;)) is still being developed, but if so, Kinetic scrolling would be a nice feature to consider in future versions...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amberlodge1:
I am in the UK. I wanted to root my G1 so I did the 1Click Root method. I had no problem at all except that I didn't get internal root only the external root needed for updating the Rom.

When I updated my Recovery with Rav.1.2.0g it gave me an excellent menu (that also helps with SD Partition) that was overwritten. I again updated the revovery wit Rav.1.2.1g and that to has been over written with the standard recovery. Perhaps I should have wiped first?

A few points that might help. I used quick format and the Dreaimg was not high case and there was no problem. The main problem I see is finding an RC7 or RC29 image that is not corrupted possibly during download.

I am unable to run apps that require root so how do I now get internal root. I am happy to go through the 1Click method as it is so good and easy.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mer6:
Isn't Ra's recovery image for Magic 32A's? If so, you need to 1-click root again and keep your Cyanogen 1.4 recovery image, as that's what gives you good root.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettyboy85712:
Please this in the correct area(Q&A).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-equinoxe:
Moved to Q&A
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Ra's recovery does work on the g1, I believe it is meant for the 32b's like the mytouch. Anyways....did you flash to a custom rom, if not than the stock update or roms will cause you to lose root by putting the security back on and rewriting the stock recovery. If you are on a modded rom, you should have superuser, to check if you have root go into terminal and type su, if it says permission denied than you don't have root, if you get a # than you do
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amberlodge1:
Permission Denied

As I recall after doing the 1Click method I did check su and its was permission denied. That was why I did not update the Rom until I found out more about internal and external root. I did try the SuperUser app but it would not work on a non rooted G1.

As for the Rav Recovery image. Part of the unlockr 1Click states to ignore the recovery image supplied and use the Rav one as it is compatable with future updates.

My problem now then is how to back up what is on the phone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
Follow the guide in my sig for one click root ,if you have a g1/dream.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
I have never used the one click but what what I hear, it does somehow overwrite the security so after you use it than go right into recovery and flash a custom rom right than and there or you will lose root<just my understanding from what I read and what I do know already> so reuse the recovery flasher again, make sure you got a rom ready to go and give it another shot, I would keep cyan's recovery or al least put it back on after you use ra's just so you have a terminal to cover your ass
