All Posts are gone, WTF... :mad: GRRR...

OK i will rewrite my post from last night a little shorter... :(

1.

The Image i use is bigger than my upper taskbar but in the same style, so i think this is the bottom bar from WM 6.5.3 (Taskbar is where the Start is;))

My Fault:o

2.

Both jpg and png is working at first select after an reset of BC config!

after playing a little around it is falling back to background color and its not showing the image until i restart BC (thats the reason why you told me in my log i have not selected the image -> it was fallen back to my color gradiation and i thought itwas showing the image;) )

3.

After reset of BC Config - BC is stretching/shrinking images to the high value and not cutting out the right position.

4.

In BC Configfile attached i get it managed (dont know how, just play around:confused:) that BC is not stretching/shrinking images -> its shifting :eek:

thats the reason why i said in png its showing me only black background (it was shifted to the lower black part of my to big png ;) )

Hope this helps a little, because this was driven me crazy last night!!!

But im sure you get it solved ;):D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, is it possible you use the old battclock.exe after reset (which does indeed tries to put the whole image in the BattClock area)?

The test version indeed just extract the portion of the png where the BattClock is located, so you can move the BattClock area without photoshopping. Just point to the correct taskbar image. So in that sense it becomes more easy to have a transparent look.

Can you also post a debug log file when it is going wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
OK id did make 3 tests/files (everything with the 3.0.7 one with MHz issue):

1.:

Start BC config and only selecting image.

its like your screenshot, but seems to be a little shrinked

-> look at the bottom bar - this is the real size of the image!

2.:

Start BC config and selecting image, then making High (H) smaller.

as you an see its shrinking the image more

3.:

Starting BC with the Configuration file i posted before.

as you can see its shifting the upper grey part out of screen and only show the lower black part and a bit of grey above.

Now i will search for the right file, maybe this is the fault...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
I am not able to find the "Standard" Image which is used for the upper Taskbar...:mad:

So i think it is still using an gradient version like the older WM versions...:eek:

But im able to set one with CHT so i did it

-> String: HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Co0kie.Wall.Bars.Tasbar\ Test.png

(before doing this the setting was empty -> not pointing to any file)

now im testing with this one, but it seems the part what BC is using is different from location in taskbar.

I try to get an better image (maybe you can give me yours its good for seeing position;))

I also noticed while setting H / V value in position setting it is not actualizing the (cutted) image until i restart BC. BC it is moving the same part of image around.

When moving the text position out of place i set before (over the edge the image had before) then the image disappears and BC is using the default Background color, and doesn't show the image until i restart BC.

Thats why i sayd sometimes the image is disappearing (now i get it;))

Testing further...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I am also testing further.

Here is a test image.

The horizontal stripes are each 5 pixels.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
I think we are getting closer:D

1. Picture: your testpicture without BC

2. BC in standard settings only background picture selected

3. going to the left and making it bigger for better seeing

maybe this happens because my taskbar is smaller than the old one

where did i get an prog for screenshots wich is making 1:1 resolution shots?

i use BSB tweaks and while shaking device its making an screenshot, but its shrinking:mad:.

Tried other ones but im not able to reach them since BC config is on front:confused:

What program did you use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
..use pocketscreen...it has timer.

you may use mymobiler through AS too..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I use MyMobiler, so you can just operate your phone on Windows via ActiveSync (and have a bigger screen too) and take screenshots from there.

See attachment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
FU** customizations !!!

Thanks!

Did now use PocketController on my other computer via ActiveSync...

Make Screenshots again and do pixelcounting, and guess what?

Bull**** CHT is shrinking the image a bit to fit to screen..... :mad::mad::mad:

BC is showing a line every 5 pixels :)

Something is still wrong with BC config so it drives me tonight crazy, but i dont get it.

But in this conditions (wrong size of image) i cannot test more:mad::mad::mad:

Switching back to the (Super working) Gradiation and everything is fine!!

Maybe others will have more luck.

Sorry ZuinigeRijder for wasting your time :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Thanks for your reply!

Everything is possible here at XDA :D:D:D :

Shake And Save

exactly what i want;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, maybe get just a break :D

For me it is working with BattClock version in this attachment (also CPU Frequency fixed for test version).

See screenshots.

You see that the lines keep on the same place and it does not scale. Only the content is of course moved.

In your screenshots I saw scaling. Maybe something wrong in the version I gave to you :confused:

Sorry for bothering you with the test effort. It is highly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Dont worry!

I think i just had an very hard week and tried to escape a bit with playing around with BattClock, then even here i dont get it right...

Then i have big problems with my device, it will start only every 5. reboot, the other times it locks up when showing todayscreen and i have to pull out the battery...

So i think i have to hardreset, maybe to stock rom... :(

Dont take it personally, i just have an bad day...

Reset WiFi\Mobile Counter?

Reading the thread, I understand you are considering creating a reset for the total counter through config tool - I think that would be great! In the meantime, how can I reset the counter through the registry? I reset the HKLU\software\..\status\mobilebytestotal key and associated keys to 0 (even with battclock not running) and the values go back to the same count.

Thanks for the great tool - especially if I get this counter working.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, you were on the right track. The Wifi/Mobile adapter is keeping the current values in the statistic information. And when reported next, BattClock sees it is more than the previous time and adds the difference. So you have to make sure the Wifi/Mobile adapter is also reset. I tried it with the Wifi and only after a reboot the adapter counter was reset. Disabling/Enabling Wifi did not work. So the steps would be:

- disable BattClock

- delete the HKCU\software\ZuinigeRijder\status subtree with a registry editor

- reboot your device

At least this worked for me with Wifi.

This also means that if I have to make a reset of the settings in the future, I need to find a way to take into account the Wifi/Mobile adapter cache or make it possible to clear them :cool:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bh77a:
Sorry for the delay in response. CPU frequency now shows 528 Mhz. This is constant. Should it remain at that value all the time?

Thanks a lot!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
The newer QualComm Snapdragon processors (e.g. HD2) can lower the CPU Frequency automatically. Then it makes sense to show the current Frequency But you can overclock/underclock your device..

But normally your CPU Frequency will indeed not change (the same is true for my Touch Diamond).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ilordvader:
Hello

Before I had the old version 2.12

now I installed the New BattClock 3.0.6

& i only get the 2 Bars on top showing

Battery % & Phone signal strength

How do i get the 2 bars on bottom showing

CPU % & Free memory %

Thank you for your Help

Arabic Translation for ver 3.0.6

Here is the Arabic translation for 3.0.6, sorry i couldn't do it on time for the release, but i was away on vacation
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks :), I will incroporate them in the next update
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks very much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You can control the stripes via Programs -> BattConfig -> Stripes

-> Select Stripe number to change

-> Select information to show for Stripe (or Empty if you do not want to show a stripe)

-> Set the positions (X, Y, X2, Y2)

-> Set the colors and stripe style
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ilordvader:
Thankyou :)

by default when we install the

the Top 2 bars are Battery & Siginal Strength correct ?

What is difference between Reg Key 1 & Reg key 2 ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Hi,

this is the contend from ZuinigeRijders Documentation get it here;): http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BSettings.html#4.4

Define the registry keys to show information for. Note that the registry key must be a DWORD or String value. Press the RegKey button to select the appropriate RegKey to change. Defaults:

Reg Key 1 (RegKey1 = "HKLM\System\State\Phone\Signal Strength Raw")

Reg Key 2 (RegKey2 = "HKCU\System\State\Phone\Missed Call Count")

Reg Key 3 (RegKey3 = "HKCU\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread\Count")

Reg Key 4 (RegKey3 = "HKCU\System\State\Messages\totalemail\Unread\Count")

Reg Key 5 (RegKey3 = "HKLM\System\Uptime\Clock")

Reg Key 6 (RegKey3 = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread\Count")

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, that is correct.

Reg Keys are freely programmable registry keys pointing to information. BattClock already filled in defaults, but you can fill in any existing Registry key.

See this page for the defaults:

# 26 = CLOCKINFO_REGKEY1, Free DWORD or String registry key to monitor, default Phone Strength

# 27 = CLOCKINFO_REGKEY2, Free DWORD or String registry key to monitor, default Missed Call Count

# 28 = CLOCKINFO_REGKEY3, Free DWORD or String registry key to monitor, default Unread SMS Count

# 29 = CLOCKINFO_REGKEY4, Free DWORD or String registry key to monitor, default Unread Mail Count

# 30 = CLOCKINFO_REGKEY5, Free DWORD or String registry key to monitor, default Uptime Clock

# 31 = CLOCKINFO_REGKEY6, Free DWORD or String registry key to monitor, default Uptime ClockSession
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Hi ZuinigeRijder,

i noticed that i did an small mistake in translation.

Rows and Columns - description are twisted :rolleyes:

Its corrected in the attached file.

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks,

I will update in the upcoming next version. I am looking into adding resetting of Wifi/Network counters :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
@ZuinigeRijder:

you should update in Documentation4.4 the reg key 6 to

"Uptime ClockSession" it stands unread SMS in there;)

and i noticed if i switch to this reg it updates to the new value (in my case to 0, because at my HD2 there is no HKLM\System\Uptime...) only after i restart BC.

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mayank_2010:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
What error is given?

Did you try also direct link?

BattClock.3.0.6.zip

or

BattClock.3.0.6.CAB

It is possible sourceforge is overloaded due to the number of downloads ;)

Hi, ZuinigeRijder!

On Samsung Witu does't work Battery temperature, capacity, current, and frequency the processor. In attach log of programm. You can look at a file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
cpu frequency only works with HD2 and TP2, not on other devices. Sometimes battery values need to be divided by 10 or by 100 to show correctly, you need to adjust that in the formats menu
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, I did a search on examples of people using BattClock :D

And your examples did also look very nice ;)

I hope you do not mind :eek:

Even the BattClock video is showing those.

I assume you did not yet step over to BattCLock 3.0.6:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
In the logging I see the following CPU for your phone:

2010-09-23 22:56:47 -1532882162 CPU id: ARM920T

Supported phones: Leo/Raphael/Diamond/Topaz/Rhodium/Blackstone/Whitestone and phones having QualComm processor MSM7200, MSM7201 or Snapdragon processor QSD8250, QSD8650.

So your is not supported.

For Battery temperature, capacity, current I use a Microsoft API:

GetSystemPowerStatusEx2

The structure goven back by the battery driver is used:

SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS_EX2

Apparently your battery driver does not support these. You can try to find another battery driver, if that is available for your phone :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
Just to give thanks for this great app, has become essential in my Leo.

A small trick, I was trying to display my name by link the regkey1 to owner's information as seen in my screenshot but i read that was not possible to show alphanumeric values, then i used the format and it works! the only inconvenience is to refresh after softresset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LOI NGUYEN QUANG:
very good!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Nice way of showing your name :)

In 3.0.3 support of showing registry keys is added:

# Added possibility to show string regkey values in BattClock area

Actually, you even do not need to couple a registry key with a name. You can just type the name in the "Display Format" for any value you do not want to display and use that to show. Normally %s will be used to show a string. But you can also just type your name :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[APP] [Updated 4-10-2010] BattClock version 3.1.0 *NEW* Wifi/Mobile counters editable

Changelog:

# Added possibility to change the Network Monitor Counters via BattConfig (Wifi and Mobile)

# Wifi and Mobile counters updated now once per 3 seconds instead of 10

# Added MSM75xx and MSM76xx to acceptable CPU types for showing CPU Frequency

# BattConfig: Better SIP support (vertical scroll bar) when the SIP overlaps an input control

# When the background image is larger than the BattClock area, it tries to extract the BattClock region from the background image instead of scaling the whole image to the BattClock size. This makes it possible to select a taskbar background image without photo shopping needs and creating a transparant illusion.

# Added also SmartControl translations to CAB/zip file

# Updated Chinese Traditional translations, thanks to victorchen101

# Updated Arabic translations, thanks to khaeid

# Updated German translations, thanks to Tokl

# Updated Korean translations, thanks to sinfancy

# Updated Greek translations, thanks to colossus_r

Tip for people having a Mobile data limit, e.g. per month. You can also configure a stripe to show how far you are off the maximum of your dataplan. Make sure to set the "Stripe Max" to the maximum value for e.g. MobileKBytesTotal and set a RegKey to HKCU\Software\ZuinigeRijder\Status\MobileKBytesTotal and choose that RegKey for the stripe value. When the Mobile Data limit is refreshed the next month, reset the Mobile settings. Note that you must check if BattClock is accurate enough, so check you Mobile data limit of you provider regular (no guarantee by me ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
.. i am waiting for such changelog, only:

*every meter has its own launch_on_press=
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Aha, you get nervous that I forget this feature ;)

Actually I am investigating if I just can get the touch position, so I do not have to make separate areas. And yes, it is possible:

WM_LBUTTONDOWN

So I am thinking of providing a command per cell, instead of separate BattClock areas. You have less control where to put the buttons, but it would do.

Any opinions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
that's a good way.

semi-related upd: BUT - i found equal cells size method used in BC main construction problem(i mean no different sizes for different cells is..simplification that may be and is troubling limitation of curent engine - i.e. short data vs long data inside = both equal in size :( - that's troubling).

of course, i am aware why it's like that now, really.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Tested 3.1:

- 3 Seconds update is much better ;)

- Scroll bar works perfect, no more "blind" typing :)

- BG image still not working correct (at least for me) :(

- maybe add an new entry in translation file for the Wifi and Mobile counter, for better naming in overview in Config overview ;)

- What is SmartControl?:confused:

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I hope more people can test the new BG image feature. For me (Diamond) it is working. But probably it is somewhere a programming problem :confused:

SmartControl is an own library I made for e.g. selecting BackGround images. The translation of "Cancel" was not possible before, because I did not embed the SmartControl resource translations. Now I have incorporated them (minor detail, probably no one noticed this :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ZuinigeRijder,

you are really fast so as every time. When i think my BattClock is ready now, you come with a new version. I can't following anymore :D:D. I will test the new version on both phones (signature).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
I have 2 Problems here:

The first is my device with CHT (Co0kies Home Tab is for customizing Manila/Sense and more) it is shrinking/streching an image used for the taskbar:mad:...

The second i noticed with an (very short) test in BC 3.1 is that from the selected image is the bottom is used to cut out and show:confused:

But im thinking now its an device dependent problem:rolleyes:

Hmmm... im sure i noticed this point:D (not really;))

Maybe add an side info for Mobile Data counting in the Documentation:

Many Providers count in Data Blocks (mine is counting in 100K Blocks) so even when only 0,5 Kb is transferred, after close/establish an new connection they charge for 100Kb.

Or even better implement the Block Size into BattClock?

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Yup, your right!

Its only an small issue, but if its possible to set the size of every cell separatly i would be able to put even more info on my taskbar on same used space ;)

But for now i think BattClock is still doing nearby all things what is important for this kind of Software:cool:.

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Out of lazyness, I jumped 3.06, and just installed 3.1 now... the background adapting selection works perfectly!

Instead of loading the CHT taskbar background image located in \windows\, since it would hve tool forever to load the files list, I directly pointed the config utility to the 480x800 image located on the storage card, from where CHT took the skinning for top and bottom bar... and it cutted out exactly the part I needed ;) Good job :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Dont know if this works with BC, but maybe i found something for transparent background:confused::

Hi, this is the best app I've seen so far. Nice work!

How do I make the stripe "always on top"? I wanted the stripes to be shown even when a fullscreen application is running.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Heart1010:
"Reset the Mobile settings" means? How to do that every month? Delete manually the reg settings like HKCU\Software\ZuinigeRijder\Status\MobileKBytesTotal ...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
No, use the new screens in BattConf (Wifi and Mobile) and press Reset:

See here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
This is currently not possible. You can try to set TaskBarWindowName to DesktopExplorerWindow, maybe that works?

In TouchLockPro I have a mechanism to regular put the locked BattClock on top. This is not (yet) possible in BattClock though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have to do it in C++. I have also found possibilities to have transparency. But this would not work in all cases, because you want to make other information underneath (like icons) disappear. You only want to leave the background image, not the information drawn over it by other applications.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Aha, so for you it is also working. Because Tokl has a problem it is not working :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] unclehooi:
Thanks for your reply. You mean to put "DesktopExplorerWindow" in the Window Name textbox under Others?

I saw on your website, it is mentioned as:

Window Name (TaskBarWindowName = "")

If I wanted it to show on window named "Waze", should I put it as DesktopExplorerWindow="Waze" ? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
well to me it wouldn't be all too bad, actually I'd prefer having real transparency, and still be able to see the icons/info beneath battclock, if any

well, in my case battclock had to pick up the uppermost leftmost corner of the image, there is no margin between top and left sides, so I tested a somewhat ideal situation ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You must configure it, of course, in the Stripe Config window:

But I expect it will not work when the Window is not active/available at the moment BattClock is started.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, I have to think about if I want to go into that direction.

Are you saying it does not work when you move the BattClock area to the right of make it smaller and move it downwards? Because also in that case it should take out the correct part.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Did i understand you right?:

Assumed you implement Transparency, then it is not possible to see other Graphics they are located below of BattClock, for example icons from taskmanager like wktask? :confused:

If so, then there is no difference to the actual status of BattClock with painting the background image over the contend, ecept of pointing to the file :rolleyes:

So i think its not worth to do this, because there is essentially no change ;)

(dont care about devices like mine where the actual BG image not works exactly... it seems to be device dependent ;) )

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
tested it for the sake of it... moving the battclock area still preserves the correct background alignment ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
@ZuinigeRijder:

The Button "Reset" in the Wifi and Mobile Counter, is it line 190 or line 432 in Translation File?

I assume its Line 190, if so, you can use the new translation file attached. :)

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi Tokl,

this is only done when you use the taskbar mod. But you can do this in a different way.

Use your background, copy from the background in the top 480 x 51 pixel in a new image and save it as the new taskbar.

Then you don't need the mod. And you can use any background image for BattClock whatever you want. On my system it is working in this way and i know 5 more users.
