Ok, I tested the LeoCpuSpeed on my Diamond :rolleyes: but that crashes :cool:

I also tested Msm7kCpuSpeed (Overclock Raphael/Diamond/Topaz/Rhodium/Blackstone/Whitestone), which worked on my Diamond. It gave back 528 Mhz.

So at least the approach works :)

So I have to detect if I have to do with a HD2 device. Someone a good idea how I can detect that, to avoid freezes by non-HD2 users?

Is there some registry key I can read?

BTW thanks for the good donation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
I did an quick search at the registry for HD2 and mine says at:

HKLM\Ident\Desc : "HTCHD2"

but im not sure this is at every rom so (i have an custom rom)

also for actice sync at:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\DeviceModel\ : "HD2 T8585"

if i did understand right you can also search for the present of LeoCpuSpeed Process/installed program, because without this the dll is not present?

Greetz Tokl

EDIT:

forget about the first reg entry (HKLM\Ident\Desc : "HTCHD2") i can change this manually at sense at the "PhoneInfo"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
Sorry, if i sound weird, but i am starting to be afraid about cpu-mhz meter idea now.

There are few general types of cpus used in PDA's(i mean types, not subtypes). Problem is, it is impossible to get support for one, using method for another one.

What worries me - general compatibility of whole program in situation when you will include i.e. HD2 specific procedures.

|

v

btw, for non under/overclockable devices WM's "ABOUT" probing method might be good startpoint(thus - it has nothing to metering REAL state of cpu, it's just hardcoded mhz/cpu type info). Things are more problematic when we need real cpu info especially, if its clock may be chgd(ANY clocker made for ARM cpus had never no prob with this, then HTC jumped out with their weird omaps 'n samsungs and things gone weird).

feel free to ignore my post, just thinking aloud.

tbh i am just afraid now, if whole cpu-mhz meter thing may make delay with new version release date ...:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
True, there are many Processors on the market and this should be impossible to implement support for reading cpu speed for all devices...

(but if leo and blackstone will work, 2 of mine devices will have support :p;) )

your right, maybe the about screen is an alternative, but for me an static mhz is not so importand that i would "spam" my taskbar with it...

let ZuinigeRijder decide.

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have already a solution. TouchLockPro already tries to detect the phone type, using the several HTC features. So I took over this logic in BattClock. Some small checks :rolleyes: only once.

For Raphael/Diamond/Topaz/Rhodium/Blackstone/Whitestone I can detect the CPU speed with the Msm7kClockLib.dll, For HD2 phones I can detect the CPU speed with LeoClockLib.dll. For other phones, I just cannot show the CPU speed ;)

So the "cpu-mhz meter thing may make delay with new version release date" is not true.

However, I had to make a decision regarding the row/column idea or more than 1 BattClock. And I decided to go for:

4 separate BattClock area's, each area can contain max 3 info items

Pros:

- much more control over where to put the information

- people can just make a Icon look and feel using several BattClock area's and backgrounds per BattClock area

- BattClockPress command per BattClock area

- people can put BattClock over the Windows logo, taskmanager, etc.

Cons:

- I have to do a small rework, which will delay the upcoming release

But there is also always a huge effort in updating the documentation, screenshots, etc. So it is better to do it right the first time than do a in-between release, with doing all the documentation stuff twice.

Maybe a test version is an option, so not an official release, so people can play already with it and give feedback :confused: But that means also no documentation for the test version :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Very cool, 4 separate areas would be enough for playing with :D

I believe the documentation is the harder work to do :eek: ,

but your right in better doing it once right then twice!

An test version would be cool!

If you not want to make it public here send me an pm.

Testing now!

Main problem so far: Font chooser is not working for me(after clicking on any of items' font name something happens, but font chooser window is not showing..only way is to force-close of configurator).

btw, i noticed you added "BC press = run command"... but..erm, not per ITEM?

upd: ah..i understand now:

---

Another problem(s):

- it seems, that something weird is going on with separators here, after some fiddling with options every spearator is...shifted by..one item..now.( i.e. 24hh:mm had turned into hh~mm, regkey2 got mhz'es as separator, etc etc), and another shifting is occuring every time i want to change separator items, generally(i had similar effect with previous version, but problem wasn't

that

radical).

- "about"'s import crashes configurator.

- "about"'s export just closes "about" page(to main cfg screen).

Which netcf is needed for configurator, actually?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
CPU Clock works on Blackstone, tried with nueClockControl change the freq and BattClock is showing immediatly the new freq.

CPU Clock on HD2 works but has same problem like LeoCpuSpeed when its at 128 or 256MHz it shows 4294967MHz thats an known problem, NetRipper discribes it here;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6506397&postcount=76

so is it possible when the value is 4294967 Battclock simply shows 128MHz?

btw.

Its funny i can open BattConfig.exe on my Windows XP -> Maybe the half way to port it to XP is done :p :-) Just kidding!!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
erm...imagine configurator for windows with taskbar VIEW simulation..and export function.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Solved in new test version.

Fixed. Probably you need to do a Reset Settings first in ABout screen.....

Yes, when no import file is there. Fixed and message given.

BattClock.reg.txt is written in same directory as were the executable is:

# 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.

Now also a message is given.

.NET 2.0 or above.

You can find the new test version in the orginal post:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
i already did cfg reset..i am not PDA newb, you know..also, manual erase of reg is not helping with that issue too.

-----

Testing now.

..still cannot choose font(click on any "tahoma,8,Bold" gives nothing..(correction: something is opening UNDER configurator window, but no access to this on alt-tab(hmmm) - screenshotter(Pocket Screen) is behaving identical way - it's window is placed under configurator, with no method for bringing it OVER configurator...

more soon.

I'm using 21014 with netcf 3.7. shame i do not another device to test this issue..

upd: ..separators(i mean meter extensions, names, etc) are still behaving same way for me..everything seem to be ok until first customisation, then, for some reason at each another configurator launch, entered "extensions" are shifted in position which results in BC items problem.

i am starting to think, that BC is incompatible with non-htc devices..this is weird..you remember my problem with translation...it was just not working too.

Tell me, if BC relies on HTC specific libs, or sth..

i made reset of cfg(to clear it up), 2 times.

i set few meters, + made one separator change.

contents of screenshot:

clock was with ":", became ~

date was with "-", became ..""

uptime lost its separator,

etc etc..imho, shifted by one, but more time spent on config fiddling = more weird mess.

Btw, wifi kbytesps became...free mem amount here(probably).

Why it is hating me :(

It is puzzling, just because i am not having any issues with anything i am using.

Identical problem as with 2.1.2(but did not want to bother you earlier, and maybe i should not bother you now - to prevent from wrong ideas at this stage..i do not know)..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I'd still think it would be a powerful addition (and almost effortless of your part) to make it available for power users to choose the path of the file.

No settings dialog needed, just make battclock check, on start, if a certain reg key exists in its reg path.

For example, name it "LogPath".

The value of "LogPath" would be used so the logfile path is $LogPath + "Battclock.reg.txt".

Standard installation would have no such key, so saving to simply "Battclock.reg.txt" will output the file in the same exe's folder.

While, for example, power users would be able to manually add such key, and set its value to "\Storage Card\Logs\", so the file would be saved to "\Storage Card\Logs\BattClock.reg.txt".

If other paths are preferred/needed, said users would just need to set the value of LogPath key accordingly, or remove it altogether to restore default behaviour.

What do you think? ;)

I always install everything on internal memory by policy, but even if I find battery values logs useful, I'd hate to waste device memory on that... pretty as much as I'd hate to have to install battclock to microsd :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Apparently something did go wrong with adding it to the BattClock3.zip. So you were still testing the old version :eek:

Here the fixed version is attached.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Is there a special reason you want to install it on internal memory by policy?

Because when BattClock is running, it will not need access anymore to the disk :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I see your point :) One of the reasons to prefer internal memory to SD is its higher speed, and less power consumption, so these problems are avoided if once battclock is loaded, the files are not accessed anymore... anyway, I think of the microsd as a removable storage, as much as I would do with an external USB disk, or pendrive, on the desktop computer I'm using now (where I would never install applications). So I like to be able to take out the memory card from the phone, or switch it with another one with completely different content if needed, without having to worry that the funcionality of the device would be changed in any way ;)

This reasoning goes only as far as it is effectively effortless for you to add this feature; otherwise, if implementing it with the method exemplified in my previous post is actually more troublesome than I thought, please ignore my request :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Sorry for my absense, but i was invited to an Party yesterday,

as i can see you guys have tested alot...

Now here the tings i have noticed (using files with date 2010-09-04 23:52):

Im still not able with new version to change font, same problem like before..

Edit:

Strange at my Blackstone (.NET CF 3.5.7283.0, 2.0.7045.0 )it is working correctly, on leo (.NET CF 3.5.9198.0) my BC config does not respond after clicking in the font (only higlighting white and do nothing) and when i kill the task CF is showing me an error - i also attached the screenshot...

maybe the missing .NET CF 2.0 files?

Edit2:

Installed CF 2.0 and later 3.7 on leo but not solve the problem... now cgacutil.exe says (.NET CF 3.7.8345.0, 3.5.9198.0 , 2.0.7045.0)

so i assume missing files could not be the problem...

quote by pupakota:

"(correction: something is opening UNDER configurator window, but no access to this on alt-tab(hmmm) - screenshotter(Pocket Screen) is behaving identical way - it's window is placed under configurator, with no method for bringing it OVER configurator...

more soon."

I think i have same problem like pupakota, this issue also was in the older version 2.1.2 of BattConfig.exe present, but i ignored it further...

when the config is opened im not able to switch tasks (windows) because BC config is "always on top" i cannot bring other windows to front.

even the startmenu of WM 6.5.3 is in background - WM 6.1 the startmenu is openigng but after klicking for example on programs the content is shown below BC config.

also i noticed no taskmanager with iconsview on taskbar is showing me an icon for BC config on taskbar (i use wktask and/or xtask to show these icons, a bit desktop feeling and taskswitching...)

When "textual" content overlaps an stripe for a view pixel the text dissapears after an while (i think this happens only when device is in sleeping mode but not sure)

Is it possible to insert at least the german translation i gave you, so i can check i have done everithing right (maybe i did an error...)

when clicking on import and no configfile is found an errormessage is shown and after clicking on ok BC config is quiting, see screenshot. (while this happens it shows me an icon on taskbar, like it should be...)

going to test further..

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
No, it is not related to missing .NET CF 2.0 files. It is probably because the FontsAvailable is not set correctly.

Can you enable Debug logging (LogDebug=1), restart BattClock and post the log file BattClock.log.txt in the same directory as the program? Maybe that gives me a clue?

I did on purpose an always Window on top for all the Settings screen. Maybe not a design normally is done on Windows Mobile. But this gives me at least the possibility to have more control (and you have less :cool:)

You must indeed not configure overlap between BattClock area's and stripes, because then it is not known who would win.

Actually, I am sure the german translations will not be correct, because a lot of changes have been done. That is also why I wanted to wait till I also did the 4 BattClock thingy. But I am still considering to post an interim release, at least this is good for the download statistics :rolleyes: But of course, the test outcome of you guys is also important on this :eek: Is it good and stable enough.

Ok, in a next test version I will add a check.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Hi,

OK logfile is attached.

what i did is:

enabled Log

close battclock

start battclock

start battconfig

hit fonts

hit 16,tahoma,bold (and wait a little)

hit index (maybe to actualize log, it not going to index)

killed battconfig with taskmgr

closed battclock normally by starting it again

send you the log...

This is only an prob while the config screen hangs, so in stable versions this would not be an issue ;) , i noticed it only because im not able to reach my standard taskmgr to kill the process... :mad:

so i assume that text in front of stripe is working, but after (change maybe during standby) changing to stripe over text the text is not shown anymote :confused:

for me its not an problem i tried it only for testing purposes what happens :p .

But i can hear people who configured battclock wrong will crying battclock isnt working correctly :rolleyes:

OK i will wait:)

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, maybe the number of Fonts is too large and there is an overflow somewhere.

2010-09-05 14:01:59 1534901202 FontsAvailable: Wingdings,Standard;Tahoma,Standard;Symbol,Standard;Sorts,Regular;Helvetica Neue OTS,Regular;HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin,Regular;Courier New,Standard;Ascender Serif,Regular;Ascender Sans,Regular;Ascender Sans Mono,Regular;

...

2010-09-05 14:01:59 1534901202 FontsAvailable: Tahoma

This last one is unexpected, so the BattConfig is going wrong on this one.

So I have to dig deeper for this one. Probably the buffers in BattClock are too small :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Yeah your right, on my leo i have 23 ttf´s and on blackstone only 3!

on both devices they are located directly in windows folder, and not like i first assumed in windows\schriftarten (windows\fonts in ger...) :eek:

sadly i´m not able to move/delete them for testing because its on rom...:mad:

but why it is working with version 2.1.2:confused:

Edit:

ok i checked it with old version 2.1.2 and it shows me only 10 of 23 fonts to choose.:confused:

So this was luck the tahoma was on it:rolleyes: i think thats why it dosent crash..:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
Haha, that's true, font chooser is fine now here.

More testing soon.

WRONG idea(with annoying side effects, if you ask me, at last unless they fixed i.e. office problem in such case in newer WM's).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Did you mean they should be at another location? My Blackstone is on stock rom from htc and strait located there:confused:

As i can remember i never had probs with fonts since i use the devices...

Where they are at WWE? (i assume on windows\fonts ?)

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
So maybe i am anachronic - on wm6.x there was annoying problem with fonts in /windows - office took any font from /windows to show opened docs, what sometimes was looking...weird. I have no idea, if newer office/windows changed this situation...it seems so.

Just FYI.

Guys, does someone know ANY font viever for windowsmobile?

... in case someone want to have phone balance information displayed(reg HKLM/Software/Bsbalance/Balance):
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
The number of rows x columns must be less/equal to 12.

So first make the number of columns smaller ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, I have fixed the fonstsAvailable issue. No limit of the number of fonts anymore :D I will post a new test version later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
haha, indeed, it is working now!

Last question: i am having difficulties in specific reg displaying - that bsbalance presented earlier - it has HKLM/Software/Bsbalance/ path with Balance key inside, and i need to display:

Balance="value"

I am getting 0 in BC, not current value stored.

What am i doing wrong? I am sure it worked fine in 2.1.2(or i am getting old..).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Is it a DWORD value?

You can enable debug logging and post the BattClock.log.txt. Maybe that gives me a clue :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
..it's a string value... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I will have a look if I can support string values for the BattClock area.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
New BattClock3 test version

I have a new BattClock3 Test version:

1. fixed problem when too many fonts installed

2. added possibility to show string regkey values in BattClock area

3. determine the CPU type in a different way, for showing CPU Frequency

For HD2 Users I would especially like to hear if 3. is working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
Works fine!

You are talented programmer - so much sweetness is such small exe, respect.

sidenote:

one thing is a general problem:

form of meters. i mean - "separators" could be treated in some other way.

we cannot use prefixes, suffixes only.

I'd love to be able to make:

SMS: <number>

mem free: <number>

etc etc..

method for this would be quite simple:

prefix %data suffix(for each item in configurator).

unimportant info for ARM cpu users:

battery drain, temps, cpu metering is not working at all, only cpu usage works fine here(and it is

typical

for soft made for HTC line users).

Not a prob for me(as it is useless clutter and batt drain reason, usually), just info.

i'll shut up now, soft works great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Bsbalance:

Tried it, but there comes an PInvoke-DLL "BSBalance.dll" is missing error on both devices leo and blackstone, so i cant test it :mad: ... but what does this program do?

An quick saerch in Google did not gave me results... :confused:

Im sure ive seen and tested an very small app to show the fonts.

But im not remember the name (maybe im getting old?:eek:)

btw:

im not using the WM office because its very stupid...:mad:

Softmaker Office is an REAL office solution:

http://www.softmaker.com/english/of_en.htm

this isnt damaging your Office Files like the WM version (even the 2010 version) after opening editing and saving :mad::mad::mad:

WTF is M$ doing here:confused::confused::confused:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Thats an Part i would suggest too!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
Program relies on ussdservice(i..think..) and gives output with cash left for phone usage when launched. uses --> #100*.

also, it has xml that may need to be edited accordingly to your country/phone/whatever.

imho, it should work in Europe(after eventual xml edit).

it updates output after each launch ONLY, it is worth to remember. it is not resident(relief).

..did you know?

75%+ of data in internet is not there.

well...thanks for russians(as usual) for this tool.

btw - string reg function added by Author expands possibilities(mortscript-to-reg-welcomes :D).

final word:

Realize that - by adding - tap-function-per-item(row, whatever) and we have ultimate, absolutely outstanding swiss-knife here, able to replace LOTS of soft. Of course - SORRY for wishful thinking, but imagine launching "messages" with <number>SMS, etc etc..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Now it is klickable and opening the font view,

but i still see only 10 Fonts of 20 to choice :confused:

see screenshot...

Second:

in Font-overview (at standard installation 12x 16,Tahoma,Bold)

it shows "16,Tahoma,Bold" but after tab on an value in the next window it shows me " 16 - Tahoma - REGULAR"

when im tab on Regular in the next windows is also regular highlighted but BC will show me the value in Bold on screen:eek: (after klick on OK button is going to show me on Taskbar in Regular... :rolleyes:

Im not sure but i think im seen this in version 2.1.2 also:confused:

Its working!

Shows all CPU freqs how it should be...

(but still showing 4294967 MHz when at 128MHz)

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
yup, i can second that, not very big issue, but present. related to configurator GUI refresh, imho. 2.1.2 had same issue.

btw, did anyone tested BC with 6.5.3+?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Since i have an Phone Flatrate to all Networks (at least to all German Mobile phones and Wired Phones :D ) i do not thinking about an Program like this anymore. ;)

True, i realized Google(DE) is putting especially Russian Sites more and more to last search results :( , maybe because many Warez is coming from here :confused:

Another (small) thing:

In config Screen of the Stripes im able to set higher values than 999 and this is working fine.

But on screen it shows only 3 digits

(example input is 1200 -> it shows on screen 120)

No big thing, but maybe an smaller fontsize will show more data...
