Ok, i found the bug i had with the Settings.apk.

I was adding my morph on top of my theme and my theme contains optimized apk's (using apkopt set to max compression). I noticed when i added the original unthemed Settings.apk back to my theme and reflashed i could morph it without a problem.

Apparently the rezipping that MetaMorph does corrupted the zip because of the high compression it already had. Only optimizing the images in the apk and not recompressing it with a higher compression factor solved it and the rezipping done by MetaMorph went fine and the morph now works including Settings.apk.

Also a request: i think it would be nice if the script doesn't stop executing when applying a full theme but it doesn't find a subtheme file described in the theme file. Just skipping that file and continuing would give a lot more ROM support for the Morphs you're creating. Now i need to move the files i suspect to be absent in other ROMs to the end of the file (to let the script at least apply the files that are present first). Taking this approach is sketchy and i'll never know how this is going to be affected in future releases and different ROMs have different subsets of applications or locations.
[Android Themes] Gilliland12:
Sent a PM to Prash about this too, but having some trouble using MetaMorph.

I'm trying to apply Prash's SystemForce theme (the MetaMorph version of course). When I run it, all that gets themed is the icons, app drawer, and the search widget. Not the notification bar, no menus, nothing else at all.

How am I screwing up this simple process?
[Android Themes] bawilson2:
I'm sure there are other guides but when using on the emulator I had to install busybox. Just thought I'd share that with others.

[Android Themes] soulife:
I noticed the compression problem too. I was playing with different compression ratios to find the right blend of size vs speed (compression seems to slow things down but compressing the images seems to speed things up). I think it'll be better to leave them uncompressed unless you absolutely need the room. I was testing 7zip though (not sure what your apkopt script uses, but 7zip at max compression might be a little much for the zip binary that metamorph uses to handle)

I bet a lot of the other bugs will be corrected with stericsons apk. Most of these bugs lye in the scripting style.
[Android Themes] JAWheat411:
Anyway to keep widgets from theme to theme? Like when you install a new theme using MetaMorph your widgets always come up blank. Saying "Problem loading Widget". Re-adding them works, just curious if this can be prevented.
[Android Themes] rikupw:
actually no, not as far as I know, and from my experience anything that involves installing a new version of an apk (like replacing launcher.apk with AdvancedLauncher). and pushing new files into an apk is essentially chaning the internals enough that makes android recognize it as a new file. though it may be exactly teh same (with some personal touch ;-)

hopefully this will change with android itself in the future, but i doubt it.

best bet is to sit with it! it should only happen when you modify the widget provider itself though :) (settings.apk for the power control widget, calendarprovider.apk for the calendar widget, etc etc)
[Android Themes] spazoid:
All it does is foreclose!!
[Android Themes] harpreet1988:
Did you download it from Market?
[Android Themes] spazoid:
Yep.... Where else would I get it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Instructions:

Run the Settinhgs and put your zip code, Stock info, and other Plugin choices. Currently set to LA (91335) and Yahoo. In the ini file you will also find the Plugins section where you can turn on and off the plugins.

For Website Monitor you can edit the StatusTicker.ini file and put the name and URL of the website you want to monitor. If it's not a dynamically generated website it should work.

For example, I really like Palringo messenger (http://www.palringo.com). They update their beta's quite frequently (http://beta.palringo.com). Any day now they will finally add MySpace Messenger and I can rest. Palringo is the default URL it checks, but of course you can put your own URL in.

rkLocation is set to off by default. If you would like to turn it on, or try to, run the "StatusLocationInstall.mscr". If it completes it will tell you, if the script doesnt complete, I guess It stays off for you.

To add RSS feeds you will need to edit the StatusTicker.ini file by hand, until the next release. Then we will be able to add/remove from the Settings app.

StatusTicker.nfo - This info

StatusTicker.mscr - Run this file to see the ticker in action, run this again to stop the ticker

StatusSet.mscr - The settings app. There should be a link to the settings in your programs folder after installation.

the other files are Plugins or support files. Here are the Plugin screenshots:

I will split the plugins into categories some time soon.

Settings include:

- StatusTicker Startup - If you want the app to start every time you start your phone, make a shortcut to this in your startup folder. It will delay the ticker til things get booted up

- Status Location Install - To see if you can enable rkLocation monitoring, run this. If it locks up rkLocation won't work on your phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Here are some screenshots of the StatusTicker's Menu from the Today Page:

++

Here is just the AppToDate auto running agent. If it operates as intended it will run AppToDate and then when it is done updating should automatically close the app.

No Promises.

If it can't connect to the internet it won't bother running AppToDate.

++

Also is

clearTempAgent

. The smartphone version is located here: http://mobisapienz.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=82&task=view.download&cid=5 .

This app uses the clearTemp settings and deletes those directories. This version only uses the directories specified using that app. I probably will add reporting for the StatusTicker. The clearTempSettings.mscr is to turn autorun on and off. May add download link as well as localized settings which poke to clearTemp.

++

First off, Personalizer had an issue with battery use. It posted to the registry every few seconds, even if the Network Carrier was not visible. I have updated the Personalizer script and am posting the update here. That's nice, I know. Enclosed are the replacement scripts for Personalizer as well as a Try the StatusTicker script to see what the new ticker script does. Those script updates are primitive compared to the StatusTicker.

Congratulations for the new thread! I was going to suggest to open it instead of leave StatusTicker "buried" in general mortscript one :)

But you was fast. Hope to contribute more in the future (actually very busy in real life)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daniel_1983x:
i look forward to a CAB version :)

very very great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
here is version l.

Whats new?

Array tickering works now. I still dont have the football stats showing right, but soon.

MAjor newness is the settings app. Everything is configgable in there just about. Autoinstall autorun. New support for ApptoDate with install stub as well as autorun.

First pass at clearTemp integration. Will now monitor a folder of your choice or as set in clearTemp. Next release includes my clearTemp agent for autorunning clearTemp.

New GPS location status if you have GPS available. This, like the rkLocation installer should be installed from the config app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chigz:
great this is wad i wanted :D yiepiee....

hey can we implement the same with GSM..like a ticker displaying updates from the GSM network..???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Are those stored in a registry setting?

If you can tell me where they are posted we can try adding it sure...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
New version of Random Ringtones posted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chigz:
no u not gettin me..its about gettin the data from our GSM networks and den ticking dem..like d cell info display its from our networks the information is taken frm the channels right..??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] martywix:
Lots of potential!

Reading your description, I understand that this will update with missed call info and SMS/Email info? I am very interested in this, but haven't seem to be able to get it to work correctly. Can you help?

Thanks,

Marty
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi,

Thanks for sayin hi!

Funny that u mention it, but I should have an updated version done today that shows missed call and SMS.

Other new features include,

LostPhone locator

SMS alarm rules

I'm Batman
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] martywix:
Hi! HowdyKieth

Great...I really like the idea of this!! Thank you for your hard work. I will have to buy you a beer! One more question, it is not letting me change the message from Genius's Phone to anything else.

Thanks,

Marty
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi,

I will fix the Genius thing this next release too.

On my phone it finds the owner name automatically. your phone is different. I will put that in the settings.

thanks...

Almost done with the next version...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] martywix:
I am using a Touch HD Blckstone.

Thanks

Marty
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Yeah If you wanted to search your phones registry and tell me where your owner name is stored i could grab it.

I made it so it will grab whatever you set it to in the config. the config was already set up to edit it, but the ticker wasnt checking it.

Should work for you in either case.

I have it ready to go once it stops quitting unexpectedly.

Once I release this version i will go back and make sure all the elements that are on the default homescreen are showing up as intended. ie appointments. Once they are done i will go again at the call reminder.

Using Microsoft Voice command as a synthesizer I have almost working right. Then we can look forward to "The Talking Moose" for us phones. I don't know about you, but I can hardly wait.

Lost phone alerting works, as well as the filtering SMS alarms. When I get all the other todos done i will add more features to the lost phone locator, such as reporting GPS and Rklocation. Other planned features will include Taking a Picture automatically by sms/email and having the pictures/video uploaded to dashwire/shozu/...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
New release M of StatusTicker.

New Features:

I'm Batman

SMS rules

Wireless Amber Alert posts

Lost Phone - Microsoft Voice messaging initial support

Default Message

Lots more
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XERO_Racer:
heya keith, app looks real intresting to try only problem is, i cant find out how to change the carrier name i tried with Owner Info but i guess that didnt work...can u plz tell me how? thnx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hopefully if you go into the StatusTickerSet.mscr, the default msg setting is there.

Maybe I should have it ask first run questions? Maybe the next update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XERO_Racer:
i already tried that and nothing, sometimes the carrier would dissappear and no change, is it because im running WM 6.5.3?? idk if its got a different regedit coding than 6.5

and i think that would be a good idea so it can elimate steps and etc. keep up the great work :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Just fixes the owner...

Ok,

First I am sorry. Once again I missed something.

Here is just the fix for the Owner msg. It's actually just the ini file Defmessage was in the wrong place. So I fixed all three files. You can just replace these files and the owner thing should work just fine for you.

I dont know if there is a registry setting that has your name as the Owner of the phone, but when I find that key I will add it to my app.

Thanks much for helping me? (sorry)

Tomorrow I will be adding 1Liner joke support to the Ticker, as well as Morting in a 1Liner autoupdate function. Cause what is underneath Chuck Norris's Beard? Why another fist of course.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
I think I will add the function to recognize there is no internet on the phone and just disable internet status until there is internet.

I just reset my phone and I see there are blank internet msgs.

I have an unlimited internet data plan but still...

One reason why I like my old motoq is cause I can only do so much with it. If i had a wm6 or GPS or ppc i wouldnt be able to stop myself from adding app support to the ticker. Heck I have to stop for coding for a moment and learn cab making.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XERO_Racer:
thnx man, appreciate it

i just put in w/e i put and i didnt see any change, do i have to soft reset or wait for it to change?

and im sorry that i didnt make my problem clear enough and thats on me, my apology

im running HTC Sense(TouchFLO 3D 2.5) and idk if ur program supports it

no problem i really think that adding first run questions would really help people out when they install this excellent app, keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi,

So hopefully if u run StatusTickerSet.mscr you will get this config:

From here you should be able to set the owner as well as the Default Message.

I probly will do the first boot showing of the ticker settings.

This app will post to the today screen if you have a network carrier panel. Also to the phone dialer if it has the network carrier there.

Even without the DefMessage being set it would post to the screens.

If you are looking for the sub functionalities of the ticker I would have to review the code to make sure the ticker was running. Most of the xtra features of the ticker dont require msgs to be posted to the screens. An updated version will not assume to post to screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Next update finally fixes the weak internet connections the ticker was facing.

Cab file install.

Probly a couple more plugins.

Default Message all good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wapvirus:
Love this it is working well on Manila 2d can i please ask if this updates with wifi connection as i can't get RSS feeds to show ,do i need to install and RSS feed application to feed status ticker ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi,

Thanks for saying hi.

Right now the Ticker only notifies you of updates other apps have reported. So for instance if you install Newsbreak, StatusTicker will show you how many new RSS posts are available in Newsbreak.

Maybe in a week or so I will add internal RSS tickering support. It's planned but I haven't sketched out the specs for it.

Please post a screenshot with the ticker running?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Great script! One thing I noticed when there are no upcoming appointments is that it says "No upcoming appointments. Starts 21:24, Ends 21:24" - if there is no appointment, there shouldn't be any start and end, right?

Also for some reason I can't see the updates on the today screen consistently. They work well on the dialer and constantly scroll, but on the today screen there is only the default message after the bootup and messages. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Yah I will fix that no appointments TMI (Too Much Information) bug.

On your today screen. I do know why that is and we can fix it. I am pretty sure your home page is not called "home" or whatever. Tomorrow I will post a wee app u can try. It will tell us the home page title. Then once that is added to my script it will show up as intended.

I could add an advanced do/die/try mode where it just keeps posting messages to the statusmessage even when not on the home page. Right now it makes sure it is on home before running and draining the battery... I will add that for sure.

Thanks again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Sounds good! For the record, I am using the HTC Home plugin, which includes that space for the carrier on tab #1. Maybe that has something to do with it? Anyway, looking forward to the updates!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
a cab cause it's cold

Hi.

I very quickly threw together a cab file installer for StatusTicker 32m. It's on the first post.

Also.

Attatched here is the WindowApp.mscr, if you can run it and tell me the name of your home screen, I can immediately add it to your phone.

Also maybe you could enclose a screen shot so I can see it running (not running) on your phone? It's not the best script I ever wrote but it will do. Just run it and switch to your home page and it will pop up with an annoying message telling u the exe name and the Title.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Thanks for this.

The WindowApp.mscr reads "WinActiveDesktop, shell32.exe

However, I cannot run the StatusTicker at all after removing all old files and installing via the new cab. The error message says:

Expected 'EndIf' but found 'EndWhile'

Line 1000 (\Program Files\StatusTicker\StatusTicker.mscr): EndWhile

Is there something in the .cab script that needs updating?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Let me see. Sorry.

Thought I could get away with a non test.

Let me look now and see.

I added your phone's "Desktop", that's the title, and the app is shell32.exe... great.

Ok, I reposted the cab with the working ticker. This one should definitely work on your desktop. If so, could u send a pic?

Not sure it's stable yet, but I will be working on this again very shortly. Just gotta finish the Reminder app and Ringtones. Then this, then sorting arrays.

Thanks a heck of a lot for getting the Desktop in there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
New cab.

Will check for Mortscript version first.

Can check for new version of StatusTicker from the Settings.

Non Appointment giving TMI is fixed.

I still think it might not be stable, but i am pretty sure i know what causes the exit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Version N

I think this version is stable.

If it runs all night I will call it 1.0 and we can press on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the updates!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I tried the .32n cab but now I get different errors:

When opening StatusTicker.mscr:

File '\Program Files\StatusTicker\StatusSubs.mscr' not found for 'Include'

Line 18 (\Program Files\StatusTicker\StatusTicker.mscr): Include('StatusSubs.mscr')

When opening StatusTickerSet.mscr:

File '\Program Files\StatusTicker\StatusSubs.mscr' not found for 'Include'

Line 3 (\Program Files\StatusTicker\StatusTickerSet.mscr): Include('StatusSubs.mscr')

When opening Creeper:

'Default' without 'Choice(Default)' or 'Switch'

Line 323 (\Program Files\StatusTicker\Creeper.mscr): Default Help,please !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Do you have the newest version of Mortscript installed?

That probably will fix everything.

I thought I got the app to tell you that you needed the newest mortscript posted here:

http://www.sto-helit.de/forum/download/file.php?id=265

The mortscript inline updater does not work yet, sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Yes, I have the latest MortScript 4.3b15 installed. I even uninstalled both MS and ST, then reinstalled MS, soft reset, ST, soft reset, and the same errors appear. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Oy.

Of course the most obvious answer is I forgot the subs.mscr file.

Sorry Sorry.

This time for sure!

Sadly I can't install a cab file on my phone. Have to Hard Reset it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Working!

Just a couple initial probs (e.g. TWG-FootballStats.mscr not found in StatusTicker folder) but overall great - thanks! I'll let you know if I have any other issues.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Grt...

I reset my phone so i can test the cab now.

will fix that inna minute.

Thanks again.

(Send a screen capture?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Here are some screen captures. One is showing StatusTicker successfully scrolling the weather.

The other two are errors:

- when "check for update" is selected, an "Invalid ErrorLevel" popup shows

- toggling the I'm Batman plugin on/off shows an error related to messaging

And one more oddity: the Amber Alerts plugin on/off triggers the folderWatch window to find a folder

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi,

So let's see what we can fix for this next build.

The Websmon has been broked for a while and I didn't even realize it. I already fixed it and it will be in the next release.

I will see about the other issues and report back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
This is posted by me over at SBSH:

Hi,

I sure do like the new Facade.

I am enclosing my Facade Home screen modification so it will show my StatusTicker app.

Before:

After:

StatusTicker monitors over 40 conditions and applications. A couple more:

Thanks to Voltage over at www.skinzone.org for the hosting and enthusiasm.

StatusTicker requires Mortscript, but most of you probly have that installed already.

Here is a link to the modified home screen.

Here is a link to the newest version of StatusTicker 580k as of today.

And a link to the StatusTicker page over at XDA

Only Santa knows if It works in Portrait, cause he didn't give me a new phone yet. He did promise though so we'll see.

Merry Xmas!

Ok here are my screen shots works perfectly for me on my HTC Prophet running 6.1 and Manila 2D thanks alot and look forward to your updates and additions :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi,

It looks like on your phone your Network Carrier panel allows the ticker to go the whole width of your screen?

If so, you can adjust the number of chars to display so it can use the whole width of the screen.

Thanks for posting a screenshot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] incubus26jc:
Also working with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3

Edit: how do i get this to continuously move and tick? it still seems to stop on the default text
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
WOW this is one of the best ideas ive seen in a long time on these forums HUGE congrats!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Well 1 of 2 things may be happening.

1. The app stopped.

2. There are a lot of non events occuring. If you get a call and miss it, it should flash missed call. Alarms cycle in frequently.

The next version I will give y'all access to the debug settings and then I can just have the app report when it stops.

Almost done with my Mortifier app and then I will be back to the STicker.

Thanks much.

Update:

Irregardless I think I will work on the STicker now. I think I fixed the Ticker's "because there is no home.exe found" issue that maybe you were mentioning.

While I am in there I will add in the Random Ringtones.

maybe i will turn on the logging debugger at this time too...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Ok, I've been testing it overnight and it seems to work great.

I will post it later today once I get the debug logging working.

(thanks)
