No, there weren't any app's in the background and yes, i was running a custom rom, but i dont think the rom is that bad (energy, i always have experience with speed with the energy rom's).

I have a topaz (your old phone, i guess, because it was TD2tools first :P)

It's not a disaster but i dont have the slow dialog boxes in other program's which use the same dialog boxes (or they have at least the same look), so that's why it's weird
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Ah just noticed you have a topaz and not a leo. The new dialogs although they look the same, are fully customizable as I will be releasing an SDK at some point and the reason they display slowly on your device may be because the CPU isnt that powerful like with the HD2. The animation effects on the dialog work by adjusting the opacity which in turn refreshes the dialog and forces it to be re-drawn resulting in slightly higher demand for the CPU. On the HD2 the dialogs fade in almost instantly so I may consider disabling animation automatically for devices not running 1Ghz CPU so it will not have an impact on performance.

How to remove Slim Volume Control from Dialer

Great Program! Many Thanks. Tmous Hd2 6.5 running ROM version 2.13.531.1. Accidentally on purpose used shake and save slim volume in Phone Dialer. Slim Volume does not work in Dialer and I cannot remove. Have removed all programs in Slim Volume, and uninstalled/reinstalled Touch Tools 1.4. Any suggestions?

Never mind. Played with registry, fixed.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] FRD666:
I could help too, i always loved your program from the time it was only for topaz and i'm sure many other people do too!

Because the last update was such a while ago, everyone is using the current version and the thread was getting forgotten.

You've done a very good job on the new layout and it would be a waste to just let it drop. The best thing you can do is just bring out the new Touch Tools, send out a message to XDA portal so that you tool (which is definitly worth noticing by the portal) is being featured on the main page and let the attention flow back in! :)

In a side note, i have some programming skill but none on mobile platform and unfortunately also not the time at the moment.. my personal life is making a big turn and that takes loads of spare time..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi, thanks for your advice, thats given me a much needed confidence boost for the future of Touch Tools. I will certainly get the next release out as soon as I possibly can.

More Touch Tools 2 Screenshots!

Here is another look at Touch Tools 2. As you can see, The tabbed interface is now gone, improving the applications performace. This means when Touch Tools is started up, it no longer reads all the settings from the device at once. Instead the settings are only read from the relavant settings page. You can also see that the horrible HTC seperator lines are now also gone. UI is a big improvement over the old one and also has some animation aspects to it when loading certain pages. I would also like to point out the Dialogs, they have the HTC look but when activated, they fade in on the screen rather than just appear making it look pretty appealing.

You can also see, I have introduced a configuration screen for Touch Tools which will be shown to you automatically on first run. The two options determine whether you are running a Stock or Custom ROM and Stock or Custom Manila. If these options are unchecked, it will disable certain options from being used which in the past have caused problems on some peoples devices.

Please post your feedback!

Well to be fair, I had alot of trouble with the graphics giving me out of memory exceptions but I managed to sort all that out and now its just a case of converting the existing forms and tweaking certain aspects here and there. Plus dont forget I'm doing all this myself with no help from anyone else. lol

I know its taken ages but I wanna get this right so people go WOW! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eyghon:
The interface looks very professional. :)

Are Touch Tools 2 still for more HTC Devices than HD2? I ask, because one of your screenshots refer to the HD2 (the page, where to check stock/custom rom/manila).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ti3noU:
Far far better than the old design, seems more touch friendly too. Can't say anything but "WOW, what a change!".

Good work mate, I hope to try it soon ^^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Well spotted! Previously, Touch Tools was for Touch Diamond 2 and HD2 but seeing as people are moving on with previous WM devices and the HD2 is currently the best HTC WM device out there at the minute then I have moved my sights towards just developing Touch Tools purely towards the HD2 only. So if you dont own a HD2 then sorry guys, this new release is not for you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nrfitchett4:
looks good. more functional than bsb tweaks. Would definitely try it out when available.:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] FRD666:
hmm.. that's very sad to hear..

been waiting very long for this release and now hearing it's not for my topaz (Touch Diamond2). I notice there are a lot of topaz users in this thread.

Why removing the multi-device support? it was available in last TouchTools so it can be taken in the new one too?

I hope you still can use the main functionality? except for a few things then
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi, since nearly all of the pages and they way they load etc had to be re-designed, I found it was easier to code for just one device, however if I see enough demand then I will keep the Multi-device functionality but in the meantime I am just aiming to get this new release out there!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Hi lyriquidperfection,

that looks really amazing what you have started, and please don't stop the dev

for this. I hope, i can change also the volume overlay from here :D;);) (it is working)

Installation issue:

i had selected the storgae card installation path, but it is installed in main memory.

Is this a must? Or why it is coded in that way with a cab creator program?

Possible you can bring light in my worried head of darkness ;)

EDIT 1:

i have played arround alittle bit and i have seen two little issue. I will test this

again to see was it my mistake. So i will report this later. Ahh, btw. my phone

is the HD2 (signature HD2 LEO) where i test this really cool :eek: and handy app.

EDIT 2:

what i have seen in SnatchScreen is that the top taskbar is visible (1st screenshot)

after the start of the app. When i connect active sync as sample, the whole screen

is visible (2nd screenshot). Allways a app's first start issue.

In screenshot 2 i can't change the place where i will save the screenshots.

In SnatchScreen TS1 it is possible (3rd screenshot). Is this the way how it

is working, yet? You will combine both app's?

Also here the first app's start issue (top of screenshot 3 & 4).

Future request:

>> it will be very nice to have the possibillity to change the background in SnatchScreen TS1

so as in the BootManager.

>> also the settings background from all the apps is white now. I think the most users of

us working with app's they use sdk's from here. There is used the very light gray

background. Possible you can change this, or selectable

This for the moment. Further research and report is following. And again, thank's for sharing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi, I have never tried installing Touch Tools to the Storage Card so this may be an issue with the CAB creator i used.

At present you can already add volume overlay support to apps with the current version of Touch Tools using the 'Slim Volume' app in the Touch Tools folder on the Start Menu.

Where you have the Task Bar visible over the app on first run sounds like a ROM related issue as ive had no problems with any of the apps running full screen.

As for your future requests, you can already change the Background of Snatch Screen TS1 by going to the folder where its installed and replacing the 'Background.png' file with another of your choice. The file name must be the same though. As for changing the font colour, I will implement this another time, but for now, if you change your background, make sure it has dark colours otherwise you wont be able to read the text for the options.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
I have changed the whole cab file to have the possibillty to install it on the storage card (opslagkaart in dutch language). And it is working. Also the button png's are now in the touch tools folder under skin (\Opslagkaart\Programmabestanden\Touch Tools\skin). I have changed the registry values for this too. We use WinCeCabManager in our company. So i create my stuff on this way. I was there today for an emergency problem, so i had todo that. It was an inner voice that says all the time, do it.. do it ;)

I have seen it and used. All are working, only the Nitrogen player, but i will find out that issue.

The ROM is the latest original HTC rom for the HD2, see my signature. The only thing can be the dev.beta from Co0kies home tab. Because we are testing intensive now. But i have the same problem on the HD2 from my friend that is completely original. Nothing extra. It was a lot of talks to install this on his phone :D. This issue must be researched further and deeper.

I know how to change the background. My future request was for Touch Tools. Sorry, when this was not 100% clear enough. The light gray background from the sdk's, as sample from ebbinger, will be more compatible to all app's under Sense 2.5.

I know about the dark background issue. It is same, all the time ;), also with my own skins. But, when you can live and work with the sense light gray color, so as all the others, then the settings screens in your different app's needs only the #282828 (HEX) font color. A simple solution and conform to sense. But this is your choice. To change the background and font color gives the user the possibillity to be conform to GTX, CHT and sense with his applications!!?? Possible something to sleep some nights over.

Network Folders and NAS Samba Share

Hi lyriquidperfection.

After your reply (and some more research) I had given up. Looked like mapping NAS Samba shares with authentication on WM 6.X has always been a real pain in the neck.

However, last week I got my Leo back from warranty repair (screen issue) and I had to reinstall everything. Including Resco Explorer.

Don't know why, but I decided to give it a shot and I tried mapping the NAS Samba share I was unable to connect to previuosly. And I was amazed: I could browse, open, copy, move files and stream videos to CorePlayer. Awesome. :):):)

But then ... I decided to see if enabling your Network Folders would work too ...

Bad, bad idea. Not only I could not connect via Network Folders, but the Resco Explorer mapping started to fail like it did before. :(:(

I tried disabling Network Folders ... but to no avail.

So it looks like enabling Network Folders with your app does something that breaks Resco's ability to map the NAS Samba share.

In fact, in my previous installation I first enabled Network Folders (PR 1.4) and then I tried mapping with Resco. Which never worked.

This time - totally by chance - I went the other way round and it worked until I tried Network Folders (same PR 1.4).

Does it sound possible to you? Maybe there is some registry entry that "Enabling Network Folders" modifies that is not undone when "Disabling Network Folders"?

Or some other thing?

I know you're busy with the version 2 release ... but if you're willing to look into it I'm willing to experiment.

Thanks a lot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:

EDIT:

HKLM\Comm\Redir, "SmbSignature", "0" (Default value is 2)

try that and see if that works for you.

If that doesnt work for you then try this one:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Hi lyriquidperfection,

about the Network Folder function app:

I have read the version number of that and it looks like that this the last version from schap's network plugin is. Only to know is this correct because i use schap's plugin all the time from beginning up, so i don' t need this part of your cab ;).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vince2773:
HKLM\Comm\Redir, "SmbSignature" set to "0"

HKLM\Comm\SecurityProviders\NTLM, "LmCompatibilityLevelClient" set to "1" (2 that you suggested did not work and is not supported as M$ states here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922895.aspx)

HKLM\Comm\Redir\AllowedAuthMethods set to 3 (as suggested here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2257281&postcount=19)

Mapping now works. I Have the same NAS at home and I will try that one too later.

Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Great stuff, ill be sure to add an option that changes these values for SAMBA/NAT shares in the coming release. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vince2773:
Sounds great. I tried it at home as well and works like a charm. :):)

One more thing, though. I have trouble unmapping the drives.

When I was experimenting settings earlier today I mapped the office NAS twice (with two different local names) and now I want to get rid of one of the two.

I tried from Network Folders and from Resco Explorer. After soft reset the unmapped link is still there (and working).

I did some registry search and I even tried deleting manually the HKCU\Comm\Redir\Connections\TheDuplicatedShareName key. Yet again it comes back after soft reset.

Any idea why? Would be great to fix this one too for the coming release. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
When you log in with your credentials, it gives you the option to save the login details. maybe this also saves the share aswell? I have had no issues removing shares as my app uses the API to do this rather than directly editing the registry.

Hi,

one question, can I change the value for "auto Disconnect Data conn" to a higher value than your default ?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
You can through registry but there really isnt any need to as the connection will only disconnect when idle after the specified amount of time.

So if its idle, and not being used then why keep it connected longer?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vince2773:
Solved it

I tried the registry editing because going through the app interface didn't work.

However, after reading your reply I did a couple of soft resets and then tried again unmapping from your app and it finally worked. :):)

Maybe (but I am not so sure) that I was messing things up with Resco Explorer.

Thanks a lot for your help.

First of all. Thank you for your hard work with touch tools. But I am going to stick with 1.4. Im using 6.5.x and 1.4 is much more user friendly than 2.0.

In 2.0 you need to press right button -> go to a setting --> press ok then a pop up comes up about reebot then you have to press no and go back to the next setting and so on.

1.4 is a keeper.

Btw where can i find in the registry about gps tweaks that you have in the 1.4?

Just for clarification, you say 6.5 only. Does this mean it will screw up a 6.5.3 or 6.5.5 phone? Or is that saying not to use it on a 6.1 device (since I know past releases were multi-device)?

Hi, just to clarify Touch Tools is still multi device and support for 6.5 means or newer so is not supported on 6.1 devices.
