Hmm , will look really funny if you hold then your huge phone to the ear :D:p

No, for real - i was playing with the thought to buy it as Christmas gift for myself also, but im a little unsure (i know ZuinigeRijder was also thinking about it).

I tried alot of Android Builds on my HD2 and must say i like it from day to day more, but its an to "young" Operating system - lets wait a little :)

Im very happy for now with my HD2, nearly everything except IOS (who needs that?:D) and WebOS is running on it -> Android, Ubuntu, Windows95-XP, Windows Phone 7 (the only untested by me) and even Windows Mobile :D

@ZuinigeRijder:

At the risk that I would be stoned to death here :p :

Just for an look into the crystal ball ;) - are there plans for BattClock for Android?

Oh, and many thanks for the new version, will test it until i get my problem managed that im not able to run unsigned programs (seems i have to hardreset once again ... :( -> im playing to much around with my Phone :D )

Sorry for Off Topic :rolleyes:

I am still not sure, which OS it will be. I will get an iPad, so developing for iPhone and iPad would be an option. Only I need a Mac for developing then :mad:

I have also looked for an Android port for my Touch Diamond. I do not know if others have experience with that. But on the other hand, I have some programs which I use regularly (IGO 8 and OziExplorer). So I am still thinking what to do :confused:

So for now I continue with programming Windows Mobile ;)

There are some things I still want to add to BattClock in short term:

- BattClock press command per BattClock area

- Low/Medium/High color for BattClockInfo items (like in stripes), so not limited to battery percentage and free memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Run Leopard on your new fast Dell Laptop as an Virtual OS;)

Thats what i think, i have tons of WM Apps and wont miss them;)

For now i have the Option to run several OS's without much effort on my HD2, thats more than fine :D

Ah, by the way:

http://www.oziexplorer3.com/android/oziexplorer_android.html

Great !!!

Hopefully M$ will see that so many People are using WM further even after abandoning their own OS.

Maybe they will see their big error in doing an "cut" with WP7 and will take WP7 and WM together (there are some rumors:) )

Glad to know BattClock is further developed :cool:

suggestion:

BattClock Press Command should initially default to BattClock Config

observation:

when export, .reg.txt is written to the BattClock folder instead of root. I think that in the past it really writes to the device root. Or is it some config changes I have done recently?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
When a command is coupled, then the possible underlying items will not receive the press. So e.g. if you put it over the Start area, the Start will not receive the press. That can give not so funny effects. It might be even so that you need to use ActiveSync to remove the BattClock shortcut in the Startup folder, to get rid of this problem. So in general I am hesitating in providing default commands.

However, in TouchLockPro I do couple a command to start the TouchLockAction screen. Maybe I should do also something like that for BattClock. And maybe make also the commands shown in the action menu configurable (description, command). And I can add Softreset, Shutdown as commands.

Actually, switching between BattClock settings would be a nice settings (e.g. reload another saved BattClock registry file). So you can have normal use BattClock settings and special use BattClock settings.

This has been changed in BattClock version 3.0.3:

# Log, Debug and Reg files are now created in the same directory as were BattClock is installed. So if you install BattClock on your memory card, it will not take memory away from your phone memory.

However, it is advised to install it in the phone memory, because of possible side effects (more battery usage).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ai6908:
No commands please! Its better to leave it like this, cuz I sure do have mine over the start button!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
With more BattClock areas, you can couple some of them to a command (in the upcoming version) and others not. So you can still have the Start button possibility. But I will not make default commands, people can configure commands themselves when they need it. And when BattConfig has a menu with commands possible, you can do with one command to start the BattConfig menu.....so only one click extra :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ai6908:
I am good with that...:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alex fung:
Ah. That's why I remember having it at root. But the documentation is outdated:

http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BSettings.html#4.11

is still talking about saving to root.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coolkaas:
Hi, ZuinigeRijder, thanks for your great program. Can you make Status colors for any items insteed for 'battery percentage' and 'free memory percentage'? It will be very usefull to coloring our-own items with separate thresholds and colors.

If this will enable, I will draw battery temperature with needed for me ranges! ))) Will make this as 6 independent settings as for 6 separate areas.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Hi,

this is one of the future plans of ZuinigeRijder!

See a few posts before ;-)

@ALL:

Happy new Year!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danusko:
hi,

at first, happy new year to all.

I have problem with separatet areas.

I have 4 ares. Problem is with my first area. All look good in portrait (normal) mode, but when my phone sometimes turn tu landscape, my first area dissappear and i have to go to settings- locations and move area - add or sumbit one point. Then my area appears again. I tried all - shrink my areas and use smaller font, but nothings helps.

here is my log/settings from export menu.

Any suggestions?

thx

big bat clock fan :) Dan

Hello ZuinigeRijder,

Please give me the program text so I can translate it into Spanish optimal, since the version that is now in the latest version is somewhat deficient in its translation into my language.

Hi,

you can download the file at the original webside at surceforge below where you download the battclock files.

Hello ZuinigeRijder,

I fully translated into Spanish BattClock because he was not fully translated.

If I could help files translated into Spanish for the program itself, would be nice. Thanks.

Regards,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks, I will incorporate the translations in the next update :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I see that you configured:

ClockHeight = 12

ClockHeightLandscape = 9

ClockWidth = 57

ClockWidthLandscape = 62

ClockX = 418

ClockXLandscape = -63

ClockY = 2

ClockYLandscape = 3

So you did configure landscape as -63, which would be fine, because then BattClock would count from the right. So you did battclock area 1 at the most right corner. You can try to put an absolute value for ClockXLandscape, so not an negative value. But probably this is not the problem.

I think I need to take your settings and reproduce myself to see what is wrong :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
Hello my friend

How easy is to add the Bluetooth function and Sound Volume % ???

Can you add this on next release ???

Thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danusko:
now i did some other changes in settings (smaller font, width of area ..) and now it works...

its strange, but thx for help mate

separated shortcuts for every area will be perfect (as you wrote).

great app, i love it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
What functions do you expect with bluetooth? If it is active or not?

Maybe there is already a registry key for the Sound Volume % in Windows Mobile. If so, you can this with one of the programmable registry keys of BattClock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
For Bluetooth yes if its active Not if is no active.

Do you know what reg key is for Volume ???

If you can tell me then i will put it on the Reg Keys of BattClock
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coolkaas:
showing bluetooth state is a first step to full standard bar replacement :D

when battclock will learn to show pictogramms depended on item state we can replace all pictogramms in full bar. so.. it is a dreams..))

2) I have a thought that may make hiding of some area depending on value of some item. Eg if wifi is off than do not show my area where placed some wifi counters. Or about gprs connection.

While no connection the addition area (panel) do not showed and saving screen space.

So this feature will be difficult in tuning..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
one more question

on the Others Menu and on DetectBackground i wand to detect the colorm from the Top-Middle i have the omnia 2 which is 480*800.

Can you tell me what values i have to put on X,Y please ????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
The X will go from 0 to 480, counting from the left, so the middle will be 240.

The Y will go from 0 to 800 downwards, but the taskbar is probably only around 60 pixels high, so half of that is 30. So X=240, Y=30. But make sure BattClock area is not over this area, otherwise you take the BattClock area color.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Bluetooth active also has a registry key:

HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Bluetooth

A value > 9 means that bluetooth is on and connected.

There is a registry key:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\Volume

However, it is a big value, so you can see what the value is for some Volume settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You can make a background with pictograms, use this as background for BattClock and let draw BattClock textual info over it :rolleyes:

This is on itself a good idea. This is the same way the notification icons work. But indeed you would need a nice way of configuring this. One could think of another setting screen on which value to show a BattClock area/stripe.

I was also thinking about adding GPS support (e.g. Speed, location, which direction you are moving), but it does only make sense to show it when GPS is running. One way would be to switch between (saved) BattClock settings easily (manually or automatically). Other way would be to indeed couple a BattClock area to particular info and only show it when the info make sense.

On the other hand, I am also thinking in learning about Android and iPhone/iPad, to broaden my knowledge in that direction. I know already java (Android) and objective-C (iPhone/iPad). The additions I make now is still for fun, but I feel that I am losing interest bit by bit. Because it is still hard development work, although making people happy, but does not bring much for me anymore. If I look to the donations and the effort I put into development work, this is way outbalanced :cool:

I installed XAndroid on my Touch Diamond memory card, so I can play with it, without losing Windows Mobile yet. I will get an iPad soon. And a possibility could be to make payed programs for the App store (Android and/or iPhone/iPad). On the other hand I have a fantastic job as Software Architect, so in my professional work there are also enough opportunities to dive into.

So this new year I really think in what direction I want to go and where to spent my time on.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
I have searched, I find the questions, I can't find the answers though. I've seen on the video what I want so I know it can be done. What I want to do is put a stripe at the bottom of my screen on my Mogul (240x320). I'm playing with my old Mogul for nostalgic reasons (use an Evo now). I just can't figure it out though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Default the TaskBar is subclassed, so you only can overlay info on the TaskBar. There is an option to specify a Window Name in the Stripe Settings screen, to subclass another window.

http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BSettings.html#4.7

But be careful experimenting with this, because of that polling. So I advise you experiment with it, while BattClock is not started automatically after boot (e.g. remove the auto startup link or install the zip version). So if something goes wrong, you still have the chance to change settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
I kept tapping window name. It just never occurred to me to just type it in the space below. Don't know why. Don't know why it finally did either, but it works. It rocks. You rock. Too bad I don't use this phone anymore. I just don't have as much fun with Android.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yeah, I think I forget to copy the translation column for the BattClock Press Command. I moved it from Other to Location Screen :mad: Are there other translations not correct?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks for sharing the screenshots. Very nice. I was wondering if a Background image matching your theme could make it even nicer ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Just to make more clear what has changed.

Now for each BattClock info item, you can specify a low and high color too, no longer restricted to only Battery % and Free Memory.

Dependent of the associated value exceeding a threshold a different text color can be shown. You can configure thresholds and 3 different colors. Just press +/- to go the BattClock info item where you want to change the status colors for. When the low value is greater than the high value, then only the medium color will be used.

BattClock Press Command (BattClockPressCommand1..BattClockPressCommand6)

You can fill in a command to be executed when the associated BattClock area is pressed. Note that when a command is filled in, the underlying info covered by the BattClock area will not receive the Press anymore.

Maximal 12 BattClock info items can be shown. Just select the info item to show, by pressing the appropriate item to change. Note that the associated BattClock area is shown before the info item as convenience.

Hi,

here is the actual German Translation :)

I have in BattConfig an crash (reproducible) while picking the color in Colors here:

Its happening when clicking fast around 10 times, but also happens (rarely) when hitting only once at the preview screenshot of taskbar (low/medium/high).

I think i get this even in earlier versions of BattClock...

This is the error message from .netcf:

Attached the logfile.

This is just for info, i dont think its much importand ;)

P.S. Battconfig-log is still saved in root, maybe change to BattClock folder?

I am still waiting for my HD2 to come back form servicing BTW, anyway that's one error I remember having as well in the past with battclock, it wasn't really frequent, it just happened that if I pressed repeatedly on the color pane the configurator would crash.

Nothing major anyway, that's why I never reported it.

BattClock registry size

Hi ZuinigeRijder,

Thanks very much for your frequent improvements and updates.

For the latest version 3.4, the BattClock.reg export file has 913 lines. I am aware that the possibilities and combinations are numerous.

However I am wondering if this is not getting heavy in terms of registry size?

I noticed that even if I only use one single BattClock text area with Battery and memory in MB, the registry seems to contain all the other unused registry entries as well.

Maybe it is complicated but could BattClock create only the necessary basic entries when you create a new item, like a zone or a stripe, without creating all the other optional ones which are unused?

Thanks for your great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
When BattCLock project started there were indeed only a few registry entries. I did choose the registry method, so people could also configure it via a registry editor. However with adding so much possibilities, it will be quite difficult to configure without BattConfig :eek:

I also used this mechanism to keep the default values at one place (BattClock), so BattConfig does not need to know the default value, it just takes it from the registry.

An approach would be to communicate the default values via a file and not via the registry, but that will take as much as memory away from the phone memory, assuming you install it on the phone memory, which is advised anyway.

Another approach could be to only set the overruled values in the Registry and keep the default values hardcoded in the code. However, as just noted, this means that BattConfig also needs to be aware of the default values.

I will think about it and put it on the wish list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks, I will incorporate them in the next update :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You mean loading a registry file? If you have a registry editor which supports loading an exported reg file via a command line, than that is possible.

Probably Mortscript is the way to go :confused:

Which registry key you did specify? Is it available in the registry>

Note that you need to specify %s format in the Display Formats settings screen when you want to show strings for a registry key.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks, I will protect against the OverflowException (apparantly a conversion from double to int which causes the overflow).

I will also change that the BattConfig log will go into the same directory as the BattClock log.

Thanks for the translation updates :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I checked that AppToDate worked for the upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4.

So maybe sourceforge was down when you checked?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Regarding this, as long as the registry is read just once (when battclock starts) I don't think this "overhead" may produce any problems. Neither I think this means stealing space from internal memory, as it should amount to no more than a few kilobytes.

Regarding the external ini file, should be pretty much the same, also I think reg files are easier to restore from a backup as you just import into registry, while restoring an ini requires knowing the path it must be copied to.

Honestly I don't understand what the other user finds troublesome about registry imprint being "large", maybe readability? In that case he's right, otherwise it shouldn't impact load/performance in any way...

Layout and BugReport

Hallo,

with version 3.4 I have adapted my previously posted layout a little bit.

==> see attachment

(BTW... how do you manage to have the pictures directly displayed in the text, I can make it only as attachment :confused:)

There is a little bug, which I realized somehow (also in the previous versions):

If you enter in one of the configuration fields the value (e.g. threshold level) not with the +/- buttons, but as text (using the softkeyboard) the following happens:

- you can't make the keyboard away (button is missing). By moving to the next menu, you can then remouve the keyboard.

- the value is not accepted, unless you toggle it a little bit with the +/-buttons.

Good to see how creative people are :)

Add your attachment, do a preview post and copy the link (in your browser) to the attachment. Edit your post en insert the picture with the attachment link. Like this:

You should press the Enter/Return button on your softkeyboard to make the setting immediately effective. Also when you exit the Settings screen, it will take over the value filled in.
