Hey Everyone!

I'm sure most of you have, like me, spend quite some time on trying different shortcuts for starting your favorite application.

Of course I changed the two softkeys on the start menu and installed an iphone-like launcher (Launchpad) but thats not good for the "heavy-used-apps".

I tested lots of little helpers like

G-Trigger (where you accelerate your device e.g. from left to right to start an app)

or

Butler (which lets you start apps by stroking from one hardware button to another)

or

GScroll (which is my favourite, you can assign different apps for

touching

the hardware buttons, but which has the problem that you often incidentally start an app)

Now I had an idea for a sounds-great-to-me helper:

To start an app, you touch (not press) the center button and tilt the device at the same time. Like gScroll this would make it possible to start many different programms with combinations like two times left or left and up or ...

while the likelihood of incidentally starting an app is low since you seldom have your finger lying on the center button.

Does anyone of you guys has the knowledge to make a workable program or to edit your already existing program to do this?

Or, am i just stupid and there already is such a great app, and all of you guys are already using it ;)

Well, thank you, and Tschüß from old-germany..

Not exactly what you asked for. With TouchLockPro you can couple 8 commands to NavSensor moves and 4 commands to Gsensor orientation moves. But of course, in the first place it is a locking application.

hey, guys,

can anyone upload some SPL for G3 prophet?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] subhramani:
Hi there,

I am a little ticked off with the way the phone switches the light off and you HAVE to press a button to get it back up when in the middle of a call.

Is there any way to keep the phone awake while on a call? Ofcourse, I HAVE tried out "Shake Awake", but thats a little buggy too.

And also, the buttons for Hold, Mute, Speaker mode and all those options come up only when you press the menu button. Is there any alternate dialler available or something which can get all these options on the screen while on the call like the iPhone as its easier to use it than press the button to get the options?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eabinsan:
just install keepscreen.

edit: this will keep the screen alive. about the alternative dialer i don't know. but be aware that the phone has no proximity sensor, so you are prone to accidentally press random buttons.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] subhramani:
Cool. Will check it out man. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pauliusba:
I have a different problem - since, sadly, Hero has not got a proximity sensor, I constantly drop my calls by accidently touching the end call button with my cheek. I believe that's a reason the screen backlight goes off so quickly during a call - when the screen is off, it does not react to touch too, so that accident call drops would be less likely.

There are still some serious problems though. First of all, screen timeout during a call is not short nough - while you can know that you must wait a few seconds before you can actually touch the phone with the face, others can't, so call drops are, sadly, unavoidable in such cases. The fact that hold, mute and other buttons are hidden under the menu button is a good thing not only because it keeps Android phillosophy straight, but reduces chances of unwanted misc. actions. The solution of this problem could be an option to disable the end call button, since there are dedicated hardware keys for that.

I have also noticed that if you minimize the dialer during a call with home button, the screen timeout will not be quick, so before continuing a call it's a good idea to bring the dialer back by tapping the hardware call button so the screen timeout becomes quiick again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] subhramani:
Very true. I thought about all these before I posted, but on the other end, I just said 'f it' to myself and asked it here.. hehe.

I wonder if iPhone users have such issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] m3_07:
As someone in this forum mentioned, it is best to have the screen switched OFF during a call, unless you have something to do. This way, it prevents you from fiddling with the controls.

Not just the hero, earlier models too have this feature. It quite odd in the beginning, but you will love it later.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Henrikmand:
Not necessary!

During a call

- Press "Call" to hold (will also mute)

- Press and hold "Call" to activate speaker mode.

yup apps2sd works great
[Hero CDMA General] shdobxr:
can you explain on how it works and how you install it?
[Hero CDMA General] nelson8403:
its on the market appstosd, you can use that to format your card or you can do it manually either using the ported command or any gui.

then the app takes it from there
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
If you install a recovery image then that can do it for you as well. As for the apps2sd apk on the market. I had tried that but it didnt work. And when I try to follow the directions from the Dream forum that I used to follow I need Busybox. I try to install that and it doesnt work. How did you get apps2sd working?
[Hero CDMA General] kylez64:
I made a script for this a long time ago for the g1 ill try to find it

[General Questions and Answers] mkouk:
Hi all,

I have been looking on how to create a bookmark in the Start Menu of Windows Mobile 6.5.1 that launches the Opera browser to go to a specific website but I have no idea what to do! :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] wg5566:
Try this way.

In any text editor program, make a new empty txt file , paste the full url address into it (for example, http://xdaforums.com/), count how many characters those are(in this case it's 32 characters), then insert "xx#" infront of it, use a quote mark on the on the url, xx=number of url characters+2,then the text read as: 34#"http://xdaforums.com/" , save it in this way:

file type: All files

code: ASCII

Filename: Xda.lnk or whatever.lnk

Now you got the shortcut (.lnk)file, you can copy it to \Windows\Start

Menu\Programs\ folder, it will showup in the start menu. If you click on it, it will launch the default browser to go to the url.

Tip: xx=filesize-3

[Touch HD General] kasperknop:
I have searched around the net and watched almost all youtube videos about the HD2. I still need to know about how the phone handles multitasking... I am quite sure it does multitask though..

Android: Long press on the home-menu button to bring up latest apps. + Task manager apps to kill running apps.

Nokia/Maemo: Big element of core design. Screen with live feed windows. Each window can be shot down seperatly.

iPhone: No multitasking

HD2: ?? Anything like a task manager here??
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
thats a stupid question :mad: all ppc's can multitask, infact win mob comes with its own task/processes manager lol
[Touch HD General] dusdus:
There's no such thing as a stupid question.

In this case there's only a "narrowminded, pissed off and angry with his live"-kinda question.

<3
[Touch HD General] fouro:
When I saw it a week ago, the presenter pressed a small button on right side of the screen while in home display to bring up the list of applications running. So in a sense, quite similar to N900, except that it was a list, not thumbnails.

What I would be interested to know if there's a way to remap a hardware key to bring up the task manager. Personally I would think this would be more useful for me that the start-key.
[Touch HD General] MAMeingast:
There are a few other nice solutions:

WkTask shows the running apps as small icons on the taskbar - kinda like in Windows on the desktop computer. By tapping on the icons, you can easily switch between different runningapps with as outreturning to the homescreen in between. Its freeware, although donations are surely appreciated by the creator... ;)

AEButtonsPlus can display a listf running apps following a hardware button press, so you can switch by tapping on a listed item.
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
dnt forget we can use the xperia panels now, that works as a nice visual task manager :D
[Touch HD General] fouro:
Thanks, those solutions look quite interesting and probably will be what I'm looking for. I'll have to give them a try when I'll get the device.
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
Heres some pics so you know what were on about :)

1) xperia panels (You can get that free here)

2) Htc Task Manager (You Get That with every htc device)

3) Showcase (You also can get that free here)
[Touch HD General] fouro:
I just found the Showcase myself too. It seems really brilliant application.. simple and finger friendly.

Just need to figure out how I can remap a hardware button (like start button) to start this instead. But as far as I understand, that shouldn't be big issue.

But I guess that should be what I was after with this: easily accessable task manager so I can switch applications quick.
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
Showcases default setting is set to open when you press and hold the start button :D
[Touch HD General] fouro:
Now if I only could get it without holding it, but just pressing... :D

But thanks, that alone should be enough too. And I'll probably manage to find out how to modify it before I'll get my phone, if it's possible.
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
if you set it to just a press, how would you get to the start menu :confused: lol
[Touch HD General] fouro:
If I've understood correct, it should be accessible through home-screen, just pressing the start from top-left corner? This should be enough for me if I have 9 shortcuts in home screen anyway. Probably don't need that fast access to rest of aplications.

Just a personal preference, but I'd like to be able to access task manager fast. Just so I can juggle between browser, ssh terminal (irssi) etc easily.Currently with my Nokia E71 I can access it by pressing home-button for a second and would prefer a dedicated button for this.
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
Not on the newer windows mobile 6.5.1 roms, microsoft moved the start button from the top to the bottom, suppose to make it more like windows :confused: by the way you can set showcase up so it opens if you tap the top right hand corner where the clock is :D
[Touch HD General] erdoke:
Does not work this way on the HD2, and also a no-go with pressing and holding the Windows hardware button.
[Touch HD General] kasperknop:
How come it's a no-go to do that?XD
[Touch HD General] erdoke:
Also, X button enhancement does not work perfectly. On the capacitive screen I can't slide my finger to the left to activate different functions of Showcase. Only the one to the right can be used. It works fine when operating through a PC with Remote Controller, so I am sure this is due to the different screen technology.
[Touch HD General] knaawmsayin:
Yeah, for some reason HD2 renders the X button enhancement useless. So, is there actually any way to access Showcase (or any similar task manager for that matter) by long pressing any of the hard keys? I really wish there was more convenient ways to switch between applications.
[Touch HD General] JanSchotsmans:
Kinda funny how Apple's ineptitude has people thinking, all over again, asif Multitasking is something special.

Any windows version since way back when does multitasking.

You know what the funny part is, the iPhone can actually multi task, but Apple won't allow it for some reason Steve Jobs' mind spewed out and only he can understand.
[Touch HD General] balane:
They can activate it later and sell a new wave of $600 phones.

Remember when they released video? It was very exciting for a lot of people. I recall video recording the festivities on my three year old Windows Mobile phone at the time.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
iPhone TWEAKS for multitasking and taskswitching can be achieved in many different ways, depending on user preferences:

1) Using Kirikae

[youtube]nWKQ1EHaMt4[/youtube]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nWKQ1EHaMt4

Suits users who prefer to see all running tasks on a single screen and to efficiently go to anyone.

Method of activation is highly customizable. User choices include double clicking the home key, single clicking the home key, press and hold the home button, press and hold the power button.

2) Using ProSwitcher

[youtube]xMAVyaNQdnw[/youtube]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xMAVyaNQdnw

Suits users who prefer the Palm Pre style.

Method of activation is highly customizable, there are 11 methods for activating it.

Method of closing an application is also highly customizable, including touching the close button and swipping it away.

3) Using Multifl0w

Quite similar to ProSwitcher.

4) Using Quickdo

Incredibly configurable, but the default actions are to swipe from the bottom of the screen up to show all running task. Sweep away icon to the left in order to close a task. Touch icon to switch to that task.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgcvZOIQUxw

Regarding Android, I don't think the holding of home key gives you the active tasks. It shows instead the most recently used applications AFAIK. That's how it worked on Samsung Galaxy anyway.

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] hduty:
Has this been fixed?

Is it now possible to assign a taskmanager to the home button?

Not to point out the obvious....but why don't you go on the HD2 forums and ask someone that uses the phone??? After research this would be my next point of call if I couldn't directly find the answer I was after.....either that or ask a friend that has it ;)

1. my windows media player has suddenly stopped working. cant start it. Also, my audio manager doesnt seem to detect any songs although m able to play the songs in core player. And my ringtones too are not working and can only use default ones. i guess its bcoz of WMP not working.

2.My HTC Touch lights up suddenly after every 5 mins and d screen goes blank for a sec. Is this a virus or something?

Thanks man, downloading now. Will install and report my findings. :D

EDIT 1: I tried the app but it keeps cutting songs, once it has played half or more of the song it stops and re-connects to the server and just goes to the next song. Will hard reset and see if this helps the situation.

EDIT 2: Did a hard reset. App working great, still experiencing issue at the end of the songs cutting off before the song is completely done but it seems to have helped it a bit as the songs now play almost all the way through... That is completely tolerable. THANKS FOR THE CAB.

For some reason, I have flashed to NFSFAN's, VETVITO's, and ENERGY's newest releases, (yes, even the 23541 builds) and... I still have that last piece of the song that cuts out. It still goes to the next track so I dont mind much but it does cut off that last bit... Thanks for the tip though, if I happen to find something else for those of us that are still having an issue here and there, I will be sure to let yall know.

Info

This is probably useful to know, I am running a Verizon TP, RAPH500, with NSFFANS ROM on it. And I am interested to know, I noticed that it doesnt play commercials like some others. Don't know if you can do it with WM apps but it would be great if it could be dissasembled and patched to automaticly say yes when it asks you if your still there. But hey its decent for work ( no messing with your player every 10 secs to find a song,) and its free. Either way good luck resolving it, and keep us updated if you find a resolution to the problem.

[HD2 General] Cendaryn:

[HD2 General] Ruudfood:
Isn't that one of the built-in wallpapers though? I was under the impression that if you set it to anything else you'd lose the weather. That's certainly the way it appears to work with the Leo ROMs I've been running on my X1.
[HD2 General] be_vigilant:
Using manila v 2.5.1920 (which comes in stock LEO rom) it allows you to select any static wallpaper you wish and it will apply the weather animations over the top.

You just select weather wallpaper, it then loads your album to let you select the wallpaper picture you desire.

This works fine on my own cooked blackstone ROM using packages from LEO shipped
