q3u Mail

Hi.

When i use q3u mail on my Touch HD t8282, I can't access the menu buttons on the bottom, which is occupied by Menu Bar.

When i had start button on top, i was able to access two different menu bottons in q3u mail, but now, with AMeBa i can access only one menu button both sides. That is, it shows Mail and Menu, but when i press either, it opens only the Mail options, not the Menu options. Please help.

My Phones S/w Details:

OS: 5.2.23699(5.3.10)

Manila: 2.5.20191914.0

ROM: 25.Nov.2010 WWE

Start button vibration

Anybody have a clue what registry key controls the start button vibration?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Look under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\xTep\AMeBa and you will find several keys there which control different aspects of the vibration.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billyfras:
Vibration

Vibration works great! It's better when set to vibrate after tap.

I also set both tap and hold to open start menu. I was experiencing some freezing when it was on the default setting.

great app.

is anyone else unable to sync through activesync & data connection w/.3.1?

it shows connected, but if i turn off the data connection & then hit sync nothing happens (data remains off). if i uninstall i can sync again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xtep:
I don't know about showcase but fdcsoft taskmanager said that AMeBa uses only 1k

I'm afraid that is a problem in CorePlayer because AMeBa closes the apps frendly sending a WM_CLOSE message to the main window. Anyway, I'm going to do some tests with CP.

Of course, this tool is free.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
same here, the moment I stop AMeba synchronization starts (Diamond 1 build28004 <-> Windows7). No need to uninstall AMeBa, just stopping the process and syncing is fine.

Hope this gets fixed, then this program is a must for every rom :)

Previously, running this and opening email will crash the device.

If it is fine, this is one good alternative for Showcase :D

sorry about that msg :)

When install 0.2 then all apps crash...

now on 0.3.1b all working better but still 1 - 2 apps is not compatible and i still have problems like msn messenger.. i use the latest.. from market place..

MSN does not connected.. after email and pass screen loading all the time...

xtep,

I did some further tests. If I use CorePlayer's exit button, no issue, even using MortScript's close function seems to work correctly.

Then it may be related to the WM build I use (28004)?

I'm planning to change some pieces of software on my BlackStone. I'll let you know.

Anyway, I still think this is what WM was missing...

@ xtep

i have the following issue

Diamond - WM6.5.3 Build 28005 - AMeBa v. 0.3.1b

I started this as i in the next day my Diamond was OFF and the battery was totaly drained!

wenn i connect my phone to PC (W7) it starts Sync normal. Wenn i tap the Power Off Button (Hardware) the display goes OFF normaly, wenn i tap it again the display goes ON and Sync starts again normaly, BUT wenn i repeat this 2-3 times the display will NOT go ON and i have complete freeze in my phone and have to do a Soft Reset (HW Button).

I UNinstall the AMeBa und tried again as above but no problems every things works fine

Thanx again

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zer0es:
This is what i meant in my previous post;)

But i tried it myself n it seems there's no prob with this anymore:D

One question though,

How can i configure my HoldStart key to run programs?

I put in \Program Files\TaskFacade\TaskFacade.exe in StartHoldRun but nothing happens:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danilovac:
I also have the same problem, i am trying task facade too, and when I hold the start button, nothing happens
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xtep:
I'm afraid that it is a bug in my code: both tap and hold actions read the program to run from StartTapAction or CloseTapAction.

I'll solve that on nezt build. Try setting StartTapRun to \Program Files\TaskFacade\TaskFacade.exe until then.

I have tested it myself (coreplayer 1.3.6) and Cp remeber the last play position when I close it with AMeBa. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SOHKis:
will the activesync issues be addressed in the next build xtep..?

Thanks for the continued support & progress!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xtep:
I'm working on that but it is quite frustrating because I cannot find a cause.

If I don't found a fix, I will create a key with a exclusion list (that is a list of apps that does not work with AMeBa).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] The_Steph:
xTep,

My apologies, I messed up my tests. I was not closing CorePlayer using AMeBa but minimising it. When I clicked the second time on CP, a new instance was launched and this time with no movie to view (that made me think CP was losing info). Probably because I did not set up AMeBa as expected.

Sorry for all that mess :o

Anyway, I think I also suffer the ActiveSync issue :(

If a debug mode is available I's gladly provide information. Your piece of software is so promising...

The_Steph
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SOHKis:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] b16b:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xtep:
Quick update: I have found a solution for the activesync issue. It will be solved in the nest release.

Today settings works ok on my device. Could you explain better, please.

I don't have msn messenger on my device, so I can test it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SOHKis:

Hallo xTep

first thanx for ur great work

Diamond, WM6.5.3 Build 28005 , AMeBa Build 0.4

Tested and i have the following issue

- after making SYNC with PC (2-3 times) i get a broken taskbar in all the Applications (which have more than a button)and all the buttons (excluding X or OK and Keyboard) r dead (no reaction!)

Here is some images from the calendar (just an example) to clear that:

Good Luck

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbritten:
I have the same problem as the post above. I really only want this application to treat the X button as close, it works until I open my mail and close it, the next time I open a email message I can't click the menu button or the back button, but the start button and close button still work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Exact the same situation on my side. Pressing such a "dead" button changes the status of the button itself to "pressed" but no action is triggered.

Syncing via activesync & data connection is no issue anymore and works perfect now!

Keep up the great work!

cheers :)

StartHoldAction?

I can't seem to get TaskMgr.exe to open as my StartHoldAction. Do i have to set it as StartTapAction instead for it to work? I thought that was a bug that was solved?

Everything else is working GREAT, by the way. Fantastic job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abc001:
Me too! I am using 28008.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
WOW, loved this usefull tool, if you need a temporary (flash) config exe or icon let me know. :)

Everyone will probably start to use this instead of showcase, if it had a default StartTapAction=1 (for the newbies) and a simple config.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realcoofox:
how can I launch an app by holding start?for example launch Winodws\taskmgr.exe.

THX!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realcoofox:
the same problem...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xtep:
I can confirm that there is a bug in version 0.4 that happens when you open a lot of windows/dialogs (although you close them). The good news are that I know why that happens and looking at the code I have found another bug that would cause problems in the future.

Working on then now.

This is the tipical image of the menu bar if AMeBa has crashed or there is a problem with it. If you see something similar, please report to me.

I'm sorry. I thought that I had solved it but I didn't test it. Now it is really solved (I have tested it).

Set HKCU\Software\xTep\AMeBa\StartHoldAction to 2 and HKCU\Software\xTep\AMeBa\StartHoldRun to "\Windows\taskmgr.exe",

But there is a bug in the current version (0.4) so it doesn't work (read the previous paragraph). While I release the next version you can set HKCU\Software\xTep\AMeBa\StartTapRun to "\Windows\taskmgr.exe" to work.

I look into that after I finish with the general bugs. Thanks for reporting.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
Um How does this work?

Looks great and all but i suck at registry stuff and always mess things up. ALl i want to do is set the start icon upon HOLDING to opwn quick menu, pressing will be default in opening wm6.5 start menu. Also have it so when i press the X button on apps it actually closes the apps and holding the X button would minimize. Those are the only settings i wish to use with this app but have NO idea how? Can anyone help please with this???

Would love to donate to the cause and have a user interface for this app, reg edits confuse a lot of us or at least me. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
I think i figured it out. I set the starttap to 1 so it opens wm6.5 start menu upon tapping. I then set starthold to 3 for it to open quickmenu as the first post describes. Problem is, it doesn't after holding the start icon, just opens wm6.5 start menu when i release my finger after holding for as long as 15seconds. Is there a timer for how long to hold the start icon to get the desired effect? I would think it to happen within a few seconds? Any input?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nagusia:
I'm using the 0.5 beta. Ths is a wonderful and very much meeded app but there are still bugs for me. Initially works fine but for some reason I occasionally get the problem where it throws a fit and the soft keys will only take me to contacts and I can't even get back to the today screen. I can't even use wm task manager to close apps and a soft reset is necessary. This has happened three times. I also suspect that it has an effect on battery use but I have no idea why this might be.

I have a problem - program works perfectly, but it's service don't start automatically - I must start service manually. How to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dickenz:
Hi xtep,

Congrats on a great app. Now that you have all the basic features sorted and bugs solved I have a suggestion; How about implementing a small pop up GUI task manager - similar to HTC task manager or something - that had the ability to show available RAM and list open programs with a close button?

It could be adapted to long press on start button, similar to showcase or long press on X button (which I think you've already got in use though). Along with your other current future features I think this would make AMeBa an absolute must-have :)

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jipof:
Service is Stopped

Hi,

I guess I have a similar issue as Paul_16. The service is not running after a soft reset. It's status is "Stopped".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SiemensLover:
@ xTep

i noticed some thing.

When the Phone is locked, Start icon (beside to Unlock icon) is also active! (i.e i can tap it and the start menu will be opened but i can not tap any things next.. as i said the phone is Locked!), so i am not sure is that because of AMeBa or it is a WM bug!

Thanx again

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peacock93:
xtep,

I'm running EnergyROM WM28008/M2.51921 built Dec 4th on a Sprint Touch Pro. Every time I try AMeBa my phone locks up after approximately 30 sec once I run any program. I have it set to close the active application on tapping the "X" and to minimize the active application on tapping and holding the "X". I also have it set to open stock WM honey comb menu on tapping the WM logo and to do nothing on tapping and holding the WM logo. I do not have Showcase installed but NRGZ28 does use e-natives WM position fix as part of his build. If you need any other information please let me know. As of right now I have the AMeBa service stopped and set to manual start and everything is working fine.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twopumpchump:
ive been using it for a couple of days and its a sweet program :) works for me perfectly with 28008, no problems after soft reset and no lockups....thanks for this :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blast0id:
actually on the 28008 (Dec4th and forward) he is using the "interceptor" way of "position fix" not sure if that is what "e-natives" is, or if they are different, just wanted to clarify...

edit: I just saw that you are using a CDMA rom... which may be slightly different from my GSM version of the same ROM... I apologize if this is the case...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peacock93:
benjamminz,

You are correct. I forgot that he switched to Interceptor on the last build. Sorry about that.

I wish I could find the conflict. AMeBa is exactly what I have been looking for.

I should have time today to do a hard reset and then try AMeBa on a clean EnergyROM. I'll report back what the outcome is.

peacock93
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
Thats odd, sure its not something else maybe u installed? Im using same exact rom but manila 2.1 version on att fuze with zero problems! I also have this app setup exactly like u except hold windows icon opens quick menu. Works perfect for me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peacock93:
deeznuts,

Yeah, I'm thinking it is a conflict with something else too. I haven't had a chance to hard reset and try it with a clean ROM yet.

peacock93
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scarecrow420:
just chiming in to say that Ameba is working great for me on EnergyROM 28008 Dec 4th with Manila 2.5. I have it setup as deeznuts mentions - tap start for honeycomb, hold start for quickmenu, tap X for close, hold X for minimise. Mine is GSM, so if Peacocks is CDMA then that would be the only difference between our 2 setups. Good luck with the fresh flash

xTep - just want to say thanks - this program is very useful and much needed addition to WM 6.5.3

I also agree it would be great if you implemented a task manager interface since i dont really like QuickMenu, and the Xperia2 one is buggy. I did like showcase- especially that you could launch it from any screen rather than having to go back to home - but a fair amount of the time it would not come up when you try to launch it. So yeah - if AMeBa ends up having a stable task manager that would be sweet!

It would also be good to get a settings app done, rather than having to mess around with registries. If this isnt as high on your priority list as other things, did you want someone else to look at making a settings GUI for your app? I am a dotNet programmer though havent tried anything in dotNet CF yet... cant be too difficult though, to just maintain a few registry settings. Let me know if you would like me to make one :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Using v0.5 since it came out and so far no major bugs to report.

Just a couple of small issues, that I can certainly live with:

- If I open a sms direcly (with M2D, for example) the windows just minimizes, doesnt close. But if I go to the messages window, it closes correcly.

- Screen size issue with some apps, like Resco explorer.

Like I said, nothing major, excelent alternative to showcase. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peacock93:
Well it must be a CMDA problem. After a hard reset I still have the same locking up issue. I did not load any software after the hard reset except AMeBa .05 beta. Again I'm running a EnergyROM with WM28008 and Manila 2.5.1921 built on December 4th. My device is a CMDA Sprint Touch Pro.

peacock93
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nagusia:
On 0.5 beta and I'm still getting the problem where the right-hand soft key will only bring up the contacts screen. The only way out of this is a soft-reset. This only happens occasionally and Ameba will otherwise work fine. The frustrating thing is that I have not been able to identify the circumstances that cause the error or reproduce it at will. I have various Titanium plugins installed (Fav People, Weather, Opera Favorites, Comm) and Mortscript but nothing much else. Most other people seem to be using Manila so maybe the problem lies with my Titanium setup.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shur1k:
I have Mio Mitac A502 and WM6.5 28011 running. And v0.5 doesn't work in a proper way. First of all, after installing AMeBa, its service didn't start automatically, I had to start it manually. Then, StartTapAction cause a TopBarTap action.

This keys should be created automatically, or I need to make them by hands? After AMeBa service started, I had only an empy folder HKCU\Software\xTep\AMeBa. I created this key HKCU\Software\xTep\AMeBa\StartTapAction manually and soft reset my device. After reset I should start AMeBa service manually again and the HKCU\Software\xTep\AMeBa folder was empty again :-(

Also, a StartTapAction and CloseTapAction cause a Blue (BT) led blinking shortly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l2tp:
If I convert it to module (reversmod.exe) and flash with rom, my device stops responding when I tap start menu icon. In form of file everything is perfect. Ok, I know that I can use it as file and be happy, just letting you know.

The cause is abug introduced on version 0.5. I have identified it and solved. I'm working on user interface to change settings and on position fix feature.

xtep,

You probably have already read my post about the locking up problem on my CMDA Sprint Touch Pro. I hope you can shed some light on the problem and add a fix to your next release. I would love to be able to actually close a program by pressing the "X" instead of using AE Button+ or Quick Menu.

Thanks for all of your work on this project,
