Sorry, I somehow missed that you already soft-resetted.

Can you try removing the \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\ folder or all of its contents? After that, soft-reset. The directory and the contents will be regenerated at boot up. Let me know if it works.

If it still doesn't work, could you try checking the registry at HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\TorchButton\<the_one_not_working>.lnk and check if the path to the .png is correct on your device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tibursio:
the registry wasnt pointing to the right icons... i had the old version installed on the device memory. then deinstalled that and installed the new one on the storage card. the registry settings pointed to an icons-folder on the storage card (\Storage Card\Programs\TorchButton\Icons) yet when I went to check if the folder even existed I didnt even find one... Then I saw the TorchButton-folder on the mainstorage, something that surprised me as I clearly stated to install it to the storage card... Changing the registry settings solved the icon-problem (had to change it to the mainmemory-directory).

You might want to check the .cab.

Thanks for the great app though, it's working nicely.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Thanks for reporting that. I can use this to test and see if I can fix the issue.

Glad to hear you're happy with it. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chimpsinties:
I removed the folder \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\ and soft reset and it was still the same. Old icons

I then went to that registry setting and:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\TorchButton:Icon = \Storage Card\Program Files\TorchButton\Icons\Folder.png

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\TorchButton\Torch.lnk:Icon = \Storage Card\Program Files\TorchButton\Icons\Normal.png

etc etc

Ah Ha! I think I see the problem. Even though I told it to install on the storage card, it seems to have installed it on the main memory. There is no folder at \Storage Card\Program Files\Tourchbutton The thing seems to be installed at \Program Files\TourchButton in the main memory.

Is there a known problem with installing this on the storage card?:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Seems the person before you had the same problem.

I'll look into this. Thanks for checking.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mooooooa:
Omg, the bright mode is crazy. I turned on the bright mode and hold my finger at the flash for 5-6 seconds until I suddenly felt a melting warm at my finger.. The flash also made a strange noise afterwards, like something broke inside. But it is still working.. Hmm, be careful with bright mode :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
Is it possible to post the old Icon next to new one.

I have version v2.1.cab and the Icon I have is soooooooooooo ugly and does not mach the Leo-Icons att all.

I have the Torch on the Home-Screen since I think if I need a Torch, I need it imediatley but the uglyness of the Icon makes me sick :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tnyynt:
Go back a few pages and find them all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Lol, was it that bad? ;)

Anyway, if you just install v2.2 you'll have the new icons. Install on your device memory, as installing on storage causes icons not to work (still to be fixed).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
That was scary man.

In 1.48 WWΕ ROM with v2.2 i still see the old icons! :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smittyofdhs:
did you reboot the device? Are you using a WM 6.1 or 6.5 ROM?

mine showed the old icons (on a wm6.5.1 ROM) until I rebooted. The icons embedded into the application still are the old ones. The new icons only appear if you are using the native WM6.5 Start Menu. There are now start menu registry entries that can be used to change the default icon to a user-defined one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Did you install to Storage Card? There's a known issue with that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DocteurN:
Same here on my 1.48.xxx FRE

And the cab is installed in main memory...

Hi, may i get the assistance of seniors in this forums as to how to install this prog onto my phone?

I already extracted it out onto my datacard.

Theres filesl ike setup readme, torchb~1 etc but none seems to be a exe file.

TIA
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
You shouldn't extract the file. You copy the .cab to your phone, and on your phone you "start" the .cab file via explorer. This starts the installation. On Windows Mobile, .cab files = setup files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] roisagi:
would love to have it on the Omnia b7610 as well...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jim328:
WOAH! Blink mode just got awesome! Cheers mate good work, looks great with the new icons too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Just posted new version (2.3) which solves the issue of start menu/htc sense icons not showing when TorchButton was installed on Storage Card.

If you could somehow extract the dlls that are used by the camera app and send them to me, then I can try to add support for it. I don't have the device. Otherwise you have to wait until there's a kitchen for the B7610.

Glad you like it! :D

hi, i installed the torch 2.3

it works fine, but now i cant use the torch in my camera-mode. it is turned off and i cant switch it to on.

can someone help me please?

edit: torch is back.

but my system is corrupted. sometimes windows are automatically opening and no button does work...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ganjaweed:
hello everyone

Going to be part of the family soon.waiting for my hd2 which gets here tomorrow.migrating from bb storm.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Hi. The reason you couldn't access flashlight in the camera app is probably because your battery was below 25%. It disables the flashlight then. Don't ask me why. :)

If your device is not working properly anymore (can't imagine this happening because of TorchButton), you could try a hard reset (check your manual). Also the symptoms you describe may just be an overly sensitive screen, try reducing sensitivity with the BsB tweaks app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gabiataxis:
Hi!

For me not work :(.

Couldn't detect a supported device, exiting...

I hope later it will be supported.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Hi,

wicked app, but i was wondering about a small addition, you have the settings "Normal" & "Bright"

is it possible to have a "Dim" option? just when using this when waking at 3-4 am the normal setting is REALLY bright!

Or another idea would be to have just 2 link to the torch and have a slider so the user can control the level on the fly.

also another idea would be so that the user could enter text and the light flashes the morse code!!

just an idea!

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lennart88:
I doubt this, but you never know :)

This can already be done, go into your Reg Editor.

HKLM\Software\TorchButton\

Find the key named sosText, and rename the string in there.

It's auto set on 'sos', but you can put whatever you want there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
About the dim option. Unfortunately it's not possible. It has just three settings "off, on, bright" and the bright even needs a trick. I had investigated if it's possible to enable only 1 led instead of both, but that's not possible either.

As such, the slider idea isn't possible either. Unfortunately.

The other idea about entering the morse code. The current behaviour is on purpose. The text can be edited in the registry as Lennert mentioned.

However, I am planning on making a small tool to configure the settings that are currently in the registry. So you could change the text from there then. It's not on high prio though :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bR00k:
my hd2 now speak 'i love htc' ;) nice! thanks for this registry hint

perhaps its possible to add an strobe mode?

thanks for this nice app

regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lennart88:
In the Registry, go to HKLM\Software\TorchButton.

You will find blinkTimeOffInMs and blinkTimeOnInMs.

By default they are on 250, which clearly means, every 250 milliseconds, it goes on and off.

So if you change these 2 values, to 50 for example, it goes alot faster, and you can create a strobe like effect ;)

Try playing with it till you think it's nice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bR00k:
thanks for this fast response!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Now that is a shame! as this would have been a totally complete torchapp!although i have another idea on the back burner in the event of the things you mentioned above!!

you could have the "dim" option using the screen!! so you could have the following:

1: Dim (Poss with slider or finger response & Colour change) - Using Screen

2: ON - Using LED

3: BRIGHT - Using LED

4: SOS

5: Morse Text Entry

6: PTT

Also, the other thing I can think of would be to have everything on a single lnk, I use an Icon Sorter and when it has run there all of the different torch buttons.

Would it be possible to get a single "TourchBUTTON" lnk (I can do very nice graphics if you like) which bring up an "Action screen" with the different torch functions.

Maybe you could add your small tool to the actionscreen if it comes to fruition!!

What do you think? Im more than happy to help you out in anyway i can, i really like your app and would like to help with improvements!!

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Insane Devil:
Hi, firstly, THANKS for this lovely app! its a great add on for me!

Now i would like to know, how long can i use the "BRIGHT" mode for, without damaging the leds?

can i go on using it for 10 minutes or so non stop? more?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Well there's a huge warning when using bright mode. How long you can use it varies per device, but for the Leo the bright setting is so bright, that it heats up fast. The limit in TorchButton for bright mode is currently 10 seconds. You can increase that time in the registry. Some have reported their LEDs become very hot after only 10 seconds. So it's all at your own risk!

Note that HTC never designed the bright mode to be used for longer than 750ms!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
I REALLY REALLY doubt you can run for 10 minutes something that was intended (and made to be used) for miliseconds.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Roguexmg:
the program itself is brilliant but cant you guys somehow integrate it with the camera? or use the knowledge to edit the camera flash to not be so darn bright on the 2nd flash that tends to overbright close up shots.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
I read the other thread in which this problem is discussed. I might be able to patch the CameraPlatform.dll, but then you won't be able to use bright mode at all (except from TorchButton).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Roguexmg:
Sounds cool nice, So is it possible then to have 2 cameraplatform.dll files one for bright and one for normal? sure somebody can write a program to rename the 2 files with touch of a button :P

Im realy peed off that HTC could release a device thats so flawed, if it wasent for this forum this phone would have been ****e, now with all the tweeks its pretty decent.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] putten:

what does 'PTT' mean?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
That's why there's a readme attached to the first post...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joseph_hiroyuki:
hi,

i tried to download it to my omnia2 but it says couldn't detect a supported device.. anyway that i can make it work in my omnia2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Can you run the tool attached to this post and tell me what it says?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joseph_hiroyuki:
it only says GT-I8000
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Just for the fun of it, can you try this version? Just overwrite the installed TorchButton with this one.

http://www.netripper.com/leo/TorchButton.exe

It shouldn't say that your device is not supported, but it might not work either. Depends wether Samsung changed the camera drivers. Let me know.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joseph_hiroyuki:
still the same.. it still says couldnt detect supported device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
That's odd. Can you go in the registry on your device to HKLM\Software\TorchButton and set DebugEnabled to 1, then run the TorchButton.exe of that link and pastebin the contents of torchbutton.txt (in the root of your device).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joseph_hiroyuki:
"pastebin the contents of torchbutton.txt (in the root of your device)." i have done the first part. but doing the pastebin content im not sure though. where can i find it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Just use http://pastebin.com/ and paste the contents there and provide the link here, or attach the log to a post. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joseph_hiroyuki:
hehe.. sorry im quite new to this winmo.. i cant get the torch.txt. only readme.txt.i went to prog files - torchb utton - readme.txt. not the torchbutton.txt
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
It's in the root, the most top-level directory of your device. So not in \Storage Card, but in \ :) If you go to "My device" and use "up" all the way you should get there. It's easiest to copy via explorer once connected via usb/activesync.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joseph_hiroyuki:
http://pastebin.com/m5d197c68

lolx. how dumb can one be.. i believe thats what you want.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Hehe no problem, we've all been there.

I think you have not yet overwritten the TorchButton.exe that I put on the link. However, I do see you have started it at least once, as i see that it goes through the Omnia check once. As you probably would've seen it lit up, I'm afraid it doesn't work. But just to be sure, copy the TorchButton.exe you downloaded from that link to where torchbutton.txt is and start it from that location (instead of using any shortcuts). See if the light goes on.

Let me know.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joseph_hiroyuki:
http://pastebin.com/m4cb2532f

it says failed for omnia as it doesnt contain sgh i900.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Ok. Well it simply tries a command on the camera driver, but it seems it has changed for the Omnia 2. It was worth a shot.

We'll need to wait for an Omnia2 kitchen to come out to get me the dlls to work with.

And that 'failed' message is from the old TorchButton.exe. These lines are from the new TorchButton.exe that I put up:

# Initialized camera for Omnia...

# Running in normal mode...

I can tell as I see there is no failed message there. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joseph_hiroyuki:
oh well.. thanx man.

This should certainly be a sticky.

I wished for such an app, then browsing the today screens have come across an unseen icon. Ran a search for 'torch' and voila. Can't believe my luck. Also can't believe this is not included in Sense.

Nice work, great idea, Thanx to all involved!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
I have a question, and I'm suprised that there's not already an answer in this thread, but what the hell is TorchPTT???

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Hi,

I was wondering instead of having loads of having lots of shortcuts, is it not possible to have 1 button that would bring up a selection panel?

Just the way it is at the moment, when i use CIR Icon Replace to order the start menu there are loads of links left all over the place to the torchbutton!

Would this be possible?

Thanks

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] djcedric:
good idee!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Actually, this was already asked and answered in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5192842&postcount=134

The whole idea was to have seperate shortcuts for each function of the app. In that case, if you use the 'normal' mode a lot, you place a shortcut of that on your home screen, and you can use it in one tap.

I personally don't prefer the selection panel, as it requires an additional tap. First to open the app, then to select what you want.

However, I'd be perfectly fine if someone else wants to make a GUI and just calls TorchButton.exe with the /normal, /blink, /ptt, /bright or /sos parameter (or just the appropriate .exe). GUI design is not my thing ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
PLEASE! Even a really simple one! I can skin but i dont know how to do what your suggesting!

Please with Cherries?

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
I'll think about it. If I make this, it'll be in .NET though (and thus have a slightly longer startup time).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Thanks NetRipper. I only searched within this thread.

Edit:

Okay, so that's the same thread. Searching for PTT within this thread does not find anything. Anyway, I noticed your comment about the readme as well. Thanks mate :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Startup time is no issue! I would really appreciate it, would make this 1000% more usable for me!!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nutmegy:
PTT is Push - to - Talk, basically the light only operates when the button is pressed... map it to a hardware key and away you go.. has it's uses i dont personally use it, but perhaps good when you just need a short burst of light or if you know morse code! :p

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lord.Nibbler:
Do you confirm you turn the display off *with the power button* ?

Or is it because the display automatically turn off after a timeout ... ?

Because I had the same issue when the display automatically turned off and it was in fact a coincidence as the display turned off after 30 seconds, and torch app timeout was also set to 30 seconds :p

I fixed this in registry setting FlashLightTimeout to FFFF (65535 seconds) :)

I can't reproduce your issue using power button ... my torch stays on :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lord.Nibbler:
BTW NetRipper, thank you for this wonderful app :)

Just a question about bright mode : do you really think that bright mode can harm the device ? A LED isn't supposed to heat and should have a life span of several thousands hours when lit.

Except a faster battery leak what can go wrong with bright mode ?

Cheers,

Nibbler
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Yes, I do believe using the bright mode for extended periods can harm the device. It depends a bit per device, but on the Leo the bright mode seems "really bright". There are multiple reasons I believe this may be harmful:

1) The LED does heat up when in bright mode. Enable brightmode and hold your finger over the led area, you should feel it heat up within 10 seconds (at least it does on mine). It heats up as the led isn't heatsinked for this behaviour.

2) HTC didn't design the LED to be on bright mode for prolonged periods. It's actually the hardware that doesn't allow bright mode for more than 750ms. Previously HTC did this in drivers or even the camera app. They obviously don't want returned deviced where the LED burned out accidentally, so they do everything to prevent it.

3) The led should have a long life span, but in bright mode the led is pushed to its limits. As long as this is for a short time (just the flash for a photo) this isn't a problem, but for prolonged use, this may cause damage in the short or long run.

Back on the Raphael you could see when the LED was starting to overheat, as the light turned more and more blue-ish. I haven't turned on bright mode on my device for that long to see if the same thing happens. I'm not ready to break a LED on my device to test that. :) Besides, normal mode is bright enough for me.

Hope this answers you :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mamv:
The LED's have a maximum current (Ampere) allowed by the manufacturer to work properly. I've worked with some, and normally they can take a little bit more than what's specified without damage. At least on my device I think the maximum sweetspot was passed because my LED blinks a bit (doesn't this happen to all of you?).

Are you able to get diferent intensities on the brightness, or only the normal and the bright?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lord.Nibbler:
Yes totally ! :) Thanks a lot for the fast and elaborate answer !

I will keep it to normal mode too which as you say is bright enough :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
It's only possible to enable normal and bright.

The blinking you experience may or may not be related to the way I solved the bright mode. The hardware allows the bright mode to be enabled for a maximum of 750ms. What I do to maintain bright mode is every 500ms I quickly disable/re-enable bright mode. On my Leo it's so fast that I cannot see any blinking. Back on the Raphael however, the same issue was present there as well, and there I could see blinking.

Maybe the same thing is happening to you. If the blinking is in intervals of 500ms, it's probably TorchButton and not your leds decaying. :)
