StatusTicker 1.0

Here is Test release of StatusTicker v1.0

Random Ringtones is now internally integrated, so no need for a separate install. You will need to turn on the Random Ringtone Plugin if you want to try it.

The debugger will now log successful messages to your My Documents folder if you turn it on. If you do try it, don't forget to turn it off if you are done debugging.

If you have a problem and StatusTicker is stopping, send me the log file...

Internet connection on at&t

Hey keith, great program.

Question,

1) In internet connection setting "mediaNet" which is the default internet connection on At&t, is not an option.

2) Program is unable to write to SD card, which is FAT32,

HELP! :confused:

Any recommendations.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi.

I will look into the default connection issue. If you are using the weather plugin, does it show the weather?

As far as the cant write to fat32 i am not sure what u could mean? If u get a message, registry cant be written to very infrequently, that error is on the list for looking into. If at wierd times it pops up with a message storage card cannot be found, that error i also have on my hot list.

Thanks for trying StatusTicker!

I was just going to say that I expect to be adding Sleuth's myLocation Service shortly as well.

Gonna take another look at message2reg. i think we gotta make sure .net is installed or there will be... trouble.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docdds:
Hey Keith, thanks for such an amazing program, here are few screen shots of my At&t tilt with WM 6.5 pro (CE OS 5.2.21887)

Status Ticker is installed on my SD card. I have attached two shots of settings and the errors it gives. It still only shows my default text, no tickers. My home weather as you can see shows and updates just fine.

Another issue I have is this "virus" which try's to sent out an SMS almost every time I end a phone call. Any ideas what program it came with and how to remove it? Anyone? HELP! :confused:

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi!

Well first off, turn off the debugger.

That will stop that "I am lost SMS" and the log file err msg. I think i was working on the I am lost feature and hooked it onto Debug. I would ask if that was the latest version of the Ticker but I suspect it is? Actually, r u sure that is the new newest version? Version 1.0 fixes a home.exe run err that makes the ticker stop running. Two steps forward, one back.

In the next update "I am lost" will no longer show that pop up email msg. That I am lost msg was actually meant to trigger microsoft voice command so it would speak that msg outloud. It only sends that msg to your own phone, as you may have guessed. I will make sure that doesnt happen again. I know I am repeating, but I just want you to know that i am listening.

I probly will add Tweeting/AIM status updates/and Facebook Status updates to the "I am lost". If we like it I will add GPS/RKlocation info to the tweets. We could also report what bluetooth functions were available. This would tell us if our phone was in our car for instance... Of course this ties in with the Remote Phone Creeper functions which I still need to finish posting details and instructions. Especially since ChetStriker has authorized us to match feature sets with his PhoneCreeper and be related.

I am working on a updated version. i will make sure i am lost is no longer tied to the debugging option. The debugger should be writing to a file in your my documents, a list of the statements it has pushed to your home screen. So we can tell where the program might be bombing. You may want to delete that file if it is in your my documents.

I also will be updating the random ringtone module that is included in the ticker. I noticed browsing out of the windows dir causes a problem. I also will be upgrading the ringtone script to store in the registry.

Also when the Text should be centered it seems to be a character xtra to the right, so i will see if i cant straighten that up as well.

Thanks much...

Oh, and turn off the debugger...

You can see that it is set to on in your first screenshot.

And i notice u r close, if u need me to drive over and fixxed it i can. (joke)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
What have i noticed:

Message display is not working for me. Message2Reg seems to be complaining. More research...

I fixed WebsMon

Random Ringtone integration still needs work. The Ringtone app is getting updated.

New feature coming... Call to Calendar.

Birthday Reminder

Maybe "Initiate SMS Twitters". Seems odd to include that feature here, but the cake is Twitters that get tickered. We still have access to te twitter server, and one of these days i will plug it in, because it is cool.

Updating the network detector to include auto proxy detection for when the phone is docked.

thoughts

Hi - looks great - not working for me perfectly yet

Some people might prefer a static display rather than scrolling ticker - if the message fits it can be easier to read - pos static if less than character length (eg 30), and only scrolls if over

there is a registry display plugin - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=312058 - it would be good if you had the option to use it with this or something like this as well as/instead of the carrier

StatusTicker.exe generates an error message and doesn't work - the mscr works (System.IO.IoException: An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly cannot be found at ..........)

Are the moon phases northern hemisphere - moon info seems to come up in the ticker more often

more feedback likely to follow.... keep up the great work!

What if you do not have a zip code for Weather (Moon?) - ie live outside the US?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
I am darn near done with the ringtone plugin.

StatusTicker new build is working great.

I will add support for the registry display, as well as a option to not tick msgs that can fit on screen. Good ideas.

Also support for BattStatus CPU infos...

Any minute now I will be done testing and post the newest version after I add the above options.

Thanks much...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi. So the ticker works great with the today plugin.

And here i was staring at the wm653 today page with no carrier info. Wonderin what to do?

Gotta look at the xml for the plugin to see if we can make it bigger or what not. Cool that we have the whole width to display msgs...

Kinda busy these next few days (in the real world) but trying to get these things out and about...

any minute now...

Added Bluetooth Auto Hide and Save for receiving Bluetooth files to your phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
wm653?

Hi so i have been fixing things and adding.

the debug option now will now post the info # that is currently being displayed. There are 45 pieces of information that are showing at the moment. Other numbers may show, and that is intentional sort of. Debug still writes a log file and erases the old when the Ticker is restarted and debug is on.

It does work fine with that Registry Display today plugin. It turns out that the ticker also works even finer with the Billboard today plugin. This gives us a few more options: Icons, multiline, menus. I may or may not rewrite the display so it switches icons as it changes ticker types.

While this works great, it turns out that Message2Reg.exe which deals with reading SMS messages does not work with WM6.5.3. I am seeing if JMLsms.exe will either work as a uniform replacement or at least as a wm653 option to do the same thing.

I rewrote the plugin routine finally so it's coded well and compactly. Less code overhead, allowing for easy expansions to the plugin pool.

A new plugin for auto-hiding and saving files when transferring files through bluetooth.

Any minute now it will be better than the last release and i will post it.

thanks!

Message2Reg

Hi

Probably not it, BUT

I have it working (wm 6.1) with a mortscrpit and the regdisplay - however i could not get message2reg to work while it resided in StatusTicker (Program Files/StatusTicker/Message2Reg). As soon as I moved it out (Program Files/Message2Reg) it worked fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
yah i think it;s a path error. i fixed it in the next version. with wm653 message2reg throws an error. i am trying to get jmlsms.exe working atm...

sorry.

i am hurrying.

Adding support for Today screen plugin switching by plugged in profile, using mToday.

Adding S2U2 support.

Adding Run Persistance maybe. This would be for wm653 but i am not so sure it is necessary yet.

As for Billboard Today plugin:

The latest version pf Billboard (1.10) has the following modes tested so far:

240x240 (SQVGA) @ 96DPI

320x240 (QVGA) @ 96DPI

320x320 (WQVGA) @ 96DPI, 128DPI

640x480 (VGA) @ 192DPI

Below are posted screenshots of Billboard:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fat Boy:
I wish I understood this but I don't. I have installed but can't seem to get work and can't begin to tell what I did wrong. I have sense 2.5 loaded with WM 6.5 in a NRG rom.

What I would like to do is replace the "Sprint" carrier name with the words in a specific text file that is in "My documents". Is this possible and could someone help me with a step by step right from the begining. THANKS
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi.

I am curious if you have installed the StatusTicker cab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fat Boy:
Yes I did but nothing showed up, it was like nothing installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
There should be a StatusTicker shortcut. If you run the settings, you will need to select Apply and Run.

It may be that the "Home" page is named different than Home or Desktop like other phones.

If you tried the shortcut and nothing happens, you could download and run WindowAppRec.mscr. Run it once to start it, go to your home page for a moment, then run the WindowAppRec.mscr again. It should pop up with the name of your Home page, as well as the name of its exe file. With one or both of those names I could make sure the Ticker will run on your phone.

The ticker is set to only run while the today page is showing, that way the ticker is not drawing battery while inactive.

Thanks much...

ALSO/OR

Maybe the shortcut for StatusTicker Settings is not made in your Start menu? If so, running StatusTickerSet.mscr and choosing Create Shortcut, will add the shortcut. I will double check the shortcut creation in the install for the next realease.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fat Boy:
Thanks for your help! I am not getting a shortcut at all. I will try your other ideas. FYI, i reflashed my rom and started from scratch and still nothing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fat Boy:
I get an error message saying it is not a signed or trusted certificate
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fat Boy:
This is what I get when I try to execute the exe file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
That looks like an old version of Mortscript I think?

Link to Newest version of Mortsript:

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

Actually, that exe is just for the icon. You actually want to run StatusTicker.mscr or StatusTickerSet.mscr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Possible Options for Billboard:

Recent Program/Document List

Stop alarm

Mark all Emails as Read

Hook into The Mortifier Script library...

Youmail support.

Multiline Missed Call, Missed Texts, RSS...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fat Boy:
thanks for the help, works great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
hi.

just plugging away...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cstephen:
Home Screen not working.

Hi,

I've installed StatusTicker on the new Manila 2D and it's not working on the Home Screen. When I run WindowApp it reports "WinActive, Manila2D.exe". Is it possible to get it working? (This seems like a handy and useful app).

Thanks,

Cameron
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi!

I will have an update out today.

I will add Manila2d.exe to the today page right now.

New features:

Nearly complete integration of Billboard Today plugin. Features of the Billboard include dynamically expanding multi-line display w/icons. Pop-up menu with Recent applications list. I could easily add BT/Wifi on/off sub menu...

RSS display (Alarms will come out next update for sure) thanks to dajost (sp?). Five line display...

- Probly will add a KVV HTML today panel with RSS feeds in the next version.

- Will expand the Multi-Line effects to scroll down the items...

Bootup CPU wait: StatusTicker will wait until the CPU has calmed during the phone's bootup, and then start. You will need Zueniger BattClock with CPU monitoring enabled.

BT/Wifi On/Off while plugged in, thanks to JMLcom.

Integration of JMLsms.

Expansion of Debug functions.

Improved Tickering logic and effects.

Probly a lot more fixes and tweaks and features that i am forgetting atm.

:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Ok so out pops version 1.5.

Multi-Line display for RSS and new SMS on the Today plugin Billboard is working.

Need more Multi-Line displays, like 5 day weather.

Also this will post to the wm65 Wifi Today panel, as well as the phone incoming and dial pad.

RSS URLs need to be added to the StatusTicker.ini by hand. Next version I probly will incorporate the add/remove functions.

Also next version will have multi-url for the Website monitor.

I will have to update the screenshots later...

The Billboard Today plugin also has Phone options for turning on/off BT/Wifi, as well as a recent list of applications.

If you wanted your own app to post to the ticker, you can post the Message to the ini file and it will be broadcast by StatusTicker.

Also included is a mobile FTP server. I will get the URL for the developer shortly.

This version is even more battery friendly. Now items that don't need to Ticker across the screen do not. Many more features and improvements.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
StatusTicker v1.53

Hi.

Version 1.53

Fixed up RSS and other downloading modules to detect internet through the Wifi better.

RSS updates are working better now.

Auto power off BT with power will make sure there is no active headset or A2DP (sp?) connected before switching it off.

Wifi Auto power off w/power should remain active if there is a currently connected Wifi network. Once it is no longer connected, Wifi should shut off as normal.

Option added for FTP stay on once turned on. WM653 has a tendency to kill processes in the background. This will lend to persistence.

CycHowdy Messenger is now included. It is integrated into the Billboard Today plugin if you are using that. If not, you can go into the StatusTicker settings and "Install CycHowdy Msgr Shortcut" to add/remove.

Newest additions to CycHowdy Messenger are foursquare checkin, as well as Google and Coke Rewards and Haiti enabled and working. Also new to CycHowdy is Blogger On the Go and TextMarks.

Thanks for tryin it!

I want:

Detect that the rklocation or GPS is not at home. The phone is no longer plugged in.

Every few minutes turn on the BT/WiFi and see if we have a connection. If no connection, turn back off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
What's happenin next:

AppToDate update reporting. Like Windows Update, we are reporting any apps with a version update.

Switch to/Terminate running apps.

Does the settings work in v1.54?

I think i will get the next version out soon.

I am forgetting there are a couple new features. Drop Folder watch. Which watches your My Documents folder and then asks you where to move the files. Not even sure of the details in there atm.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi.

Here is version 1.55.

This fixes a bunch of things.

As mentioned above, now when StatusTicker starts up it will run through the AppToDate installed app and check for updates. If it finds one it will flash the ticker with news of the update.

You may need to set the AppToDate plugin to On.

Although The option for AppToDate is in the popout menu, it will not activate immediately (sometimes) yet. Shortly I will update the Ticker to be more spontaneous. This way we could also have an option to display the RSS as well.

Also included is the HTC Wifi on Standby plugin. If set to On, it will hopefully keep the wifi on...

I know the SMS seem to be displaying the 2nd SMS whenever a new SMS comes in. I will resolve that soon...

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Hello Howdykeith,

finally using Status Ticker because stopped using WAD2. From there I miss only some little info, and I would like them to be showed thanks to your program.

I'm ready to co-operate with you to improve this program, so let's say with first little problems:

- Program kinda works. I mean I always see my phrase instead of carrier name, but information never change. I'm quite totally sure this is because I use HTC Sense, and probably for StatusTicker this is NOT the classical today screen, so it doesn't refresh. Did it refresh if S2U2 is active? Anyway, I'll test this very soon.

- Another little bug is about WM version check. You look at .cpr 240x320 existence, but my phone is WVGA (480x800) so when StatusTicker starts it thinks is running on WM5...

- You could very easily add other info already existing in WM6 registry, for example Last Caller Name / Telephone, or in other application like PhoneAlarm, for example location or cell/id.

- I hope we can find a way to integrate new plugins. For example I made a very simple mortscript every day reading the Catholic Saint of the day from the internet, would be cool if I could integrate.

Thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
I have a list of Show conditions:

If ( (ActiveWindow() eq "Phone") OR (ActiveWindow() eq "Desktop") OR (ActiveProcess() eq "cprog.exe") OR (ActiveProcess() eq "S2U2.exe") OR (ActiveProcess() eq "shell32.exe") OR (ActiveProcess() eq "home.exe") OR (ActiveProcess() eq "Manila2d.exe") AND (BatteryPercentage() > BatLowPause) OR Debug)
Show = True
EndIf

Let me know what your today screen is called and i will add it to the Show condition...

And S2U2 is not updating. I may be able to update to the locked text but i never tried to update it. I have been amused by IPTWeather posting there and so left it as be.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Thanks Howdy,

unfortunately I'll be far from PC for some days, so it will be difficult for me to update about my test. More yesterday I noticed that StatusTicker make CHT (Cookie Home Tab) Sense freeze when ActiveSync is running. I never had freezes in such condition before StatusTicker, and never have now after I stopped it.

So I have to understand if it's CHT unable to run with something changing carrier information, or StatusTicker having problems maybe trying to update some info when ActiveSync is running...

About my scripts yes, they are in my script suite. I made a version 3.0 improving some of existing scripts and adding new ones, I'll post as soon as I'll be back, that is in 5-6 days.

After then I hope we can cooperate more tightly :)

Only a word about location/cellid. Yes I used rklocation when I didn't use phoneAlarm, but now, using a more complex software, for me it's better to take it's info. Infact I use location to change profiles so I need to configure phoneAlarm, and taking the already known location I haven't to reenter same information in a different application. Hope I was clear...

Bye and thanks for now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Cool, I look forward to your return!

So with version 1.56 I fixed up the SMS issue, which means the SMS watch rules work again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Hey. Great idea this is...

Have you thought about making a sense mod or having one made by cookie as a module for cookies tab with live update of selected info.

Could be crazy cool to have his info icons changed with your info ticker and get that awesome info right in your face on the homescreen.

Another idea. Have seen the screensaver app and that could be ideal to use as an infoticker board. (cant remember who made it..hm)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Interesting. Thanks for saying hi!

As far as Sense goes, a quick looksie:

So sure the StatusTicker should show up there in the Carrier. I would need either the name of the EXE or the Title of the Today page.

If you could please tell me that we are good to get started? I could set the Default number of characters that can fit on the screen of Sense. I think I can get the Sense is running information from the registry actually... If you try the STicker in debug mode it should display a character count across the screen so you can tell how many characters fit.

If you wanted further triggers, we can add whatever u can think of, sure...

;)

Adjusting the CarrierName
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
I think that its to small (sense). Maybe more as the modules for calender and so on. I think it needs to be hacked into sense like the task mod for cookies..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
So first I would like to get it first so STicker will run on Sense. Then I can look at hacking into it. Ultimately I would want the window title and/or exe process name for the Today panel.

Also

I wonder if the Activesync problem is because of the the data being turned off during a "Wifi On/off w/power" ? I will check to see if Activesync is connecting before turning off the data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Pocket SportsCenter Expanded

Maybe u were referring to this?

Pocket SportsCenter Expanded

I think i will use his script to display sports...

So now I really want the window title for the Today page and SecondToday and Manila Today Page.

This could also be more than five lines...

Also this could display and data in the StatusTicker, as I am using the same Billboard plugin to display RSS and SMS data. If anybody really wanted we could display 10 or 15 lines of RSS or other data. I am already planning on adding a more extensive call history, five day weather, and whatever...

I wonder if u can run KVV HTMLToday? If it ran on the same page as the SportCenter does, then that would be pretty cool? We can generate whatever we want as HTML and then display it in HTml Today.

(Facebook is a web page) I also wrote a quick config app to mess with plugging different web pages into it.

Of course your screen width is bigger. I posted some other examples of configuring HTMLToday over HERE.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
I could have a menu to pause the media player, if it is playing. wmp already pauses when a phone call comes in doesnt it?

check your ss signal strength when you have no signal
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
This is going go be awesome.

I cant seem to get anything but my ownerinfo and "booting.." on sense.

Running Nrg rom with Cookies...

You really must get this deep into Cookies homepage and WP7 is dead to me. :) keep working man..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Yup it pauses..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Hi,

Could you could download and run WindowAppRec.mscr. Run it once to start it, go to your home page for a moment, then run the WindowAppRec.mscr again. It should pop up with the name of your Home page, as well as the name of its exe file. With one or both of those names I could make sure the Ticker will run on your phone.

The ticker is set to only run while the today page is showing, that way the ticker is not drawing battery while inactive.

Thanks much...

I am updating ST now, so lemme know if u can and i will fix it for the next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
great man :)

winactive=start

process=manila.exe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Ok great thanks!

I added your home page.

I also added Titanium clock usage.

Still testing are:

FIM (Facebook Instant Messenger) support

HTC Facebook Status updates

Facebook app Status Updates

YouMail notification
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
great news. Looking forward to the update :)
