Buy DINIK a Beer if you like his work!

First of all I would like to thank the users below for letting me to use their work

BT73 for his OP "Making Your Action screen like me",

lyriquidperfection for his great Touch tools for HTC apllication,

Marcdu81 for his very useful HD2connections cab and

Dinik for his great HD2 Iconset

makeveral for letting me integrate his very useful ram sweeper in my cab.

In "EndKey replacement" I used their work or some of their work, edited some things and I came up with this app as a result.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this app is to replace the EndKey function with a more useful and with more options one.

INSTALLING

Just install the cab and reset.

EDITING

You can change the functions of the buttons by editing the keys that reside in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen] with a registry editor.

1. Open HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_0-11. Each number corresponds to a button

2. Change "Path" to point to your desired app.

3. Edit "Param" if you want to pass parameters to the app.

For more editing, like background and buttons please see BT73's OP

UPDATE

Now when you press a button you also have an icon showing up. Thanks to k8sh's idea

UPDATE 2

I replaced the camera button with Enter bootloader. Preview below.

UPDATE 3

I made the buttons to get pressed like k8sh suggested. see preview 3

UPDATE 4

Background changed to black.

Different key press, now the button gets smaller when you press it. (see preview 4)

Changed rotation.exe and now only changes clockwise and if you press again back to portrait.

UPDATE 4

I replaced some exe's that handled the connections with JMLcomm. Now it's smaller in size and flight mode and DATA on/off should work for everyone.

New GTX style

UPDATE 5

RAM Sweeper is now integrated to cab and replaces the rotation button

PREVIEW

GTX Style thanks to colossus_r
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matmaneyre:
Looks good, will have to try this out.

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
This is so awesome. Thank you for sharing! And thanks to BT73, lyquidperfection, and Marcdu81 for making this simple but extremely useful add-on possible. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Marcdu81:
Very nice,good job !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
I hate to bug you but nothing happened. I tried installing in SC and device but nothing happened. Should I be doing anything else? This should pop up when I perform a short press on the end key, right (the red hard button)?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
You have to install it to the device and it pops up when you long press the end key.

please try it and give some some feedback because I see you have the TMOUS HD2 version and there might be some differences.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] elgar:
Great little app, thank you very much for sharing!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
Got it. I was doing a short press only before. Long press definitely works as it should.

I also noticed that the window only pops up for a few seconds. Any reg tweak to make it longer or stay since the app can be exited by pressing any of the hard buttons?

Also when you press a button (icon), you can't really tell that you are pressing it right?

I forgot to add that data disconnect does not work for me. Is this the same issue as Marcdu81's HD2 Connexions? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6074894&postcount=101

All in all I like it and I will be using it. If I follow BT73's steps I can substitute a few buttons with ease?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] malhznoi:
good job man

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
1. For the window popping out for a few seconds I haven't seen any reg entries that could change that. Although I'll try to find if there's anything we can do.

2. For the buttons not showing what you press I did it on purpose because I didn't like the result when I putted some icons. The bmp format (used by the app) looses all the transparency from the icons I use. I have something in mind and when its ready I'll post an updated cab here.

3. No it's not this problem as launching DataOnOff.exe from the action screen does not involve any shortcuts. The only shortcut to the program is written in registry and it's correct there. DataOnOff.exe can take several parameters (try running it from \windows\actionscreen folder without any parameters to see a list of available options) I use "-gprstoggle" which should toggle on and off but it doesn't work correctly to my phone either. It's only disconnecting the GPRS and not connecting it. (that's not a problem for me though as I only want it to disconnect).

Thanks for your feedback and your thoughts.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
I edited my post and added that the data on/off is actually just Data OFF. It does not work for data ON. This is the same for Touch X Data Disconnect (hence, the name). Does Marcdu's work as Data On/Off or is it one-way only?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Please check my previous post
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
I just realized that it is also not an issue for me since if I don't have wifi, gprs will be activated automatically by whatever app that accesses it, if off.

I have an idea for the icon when pressed, the icon must already have the background as that of the action screen because of the transparency then perhaps changed it to grayscale or whatever is best for an icon when pressed. (See attached figure).

However, a plain dark background must be used like the one you are using now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I believe that would work I'll try it tomorrow after work.

Thank you k8sh.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I have updated in first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
Hey thanks for the acknowledgment! I installed the v2 and there are a few kinks, the pressed icons are a bit misplaced relative to the original colored icons. I took screen shots of all the icons (zip file) so maybe you can play around with the x y positions when you have time? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
It's supposed to be missplaced so you can see them when you press them.

If you want I will try to make them seem larger when you press them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
Here is another suggestion. You can crop the pressed icon so that there is a little more on top (screen shot) and you can align the icon with a slight offset in the vertical direction (so it looks like it is moved downwards only when pressed, covering the icon label entirely). I attached another screen shot of what it will look like when pressed if my description does not make sense.

It's only a suggestion. You always have the option to ignore me. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I'm allways open to new suggestions as I'm not very good with graphics.

I will try your suggestion, it seems better.

Just out of curiosity which one do you prefer the one with bootloader or with camera?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
Actually, I don't even know what the boot loader is for. Maybe if I do, I will choose that one since Scilor came out with this new tweak where you can use the volume key to take photos and it works for me. But it may or may not work in some phones so you probably should not include it even if you want to (and it is only version 0.1).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
When pressing the bootloader button it takes you to the tricolor screen "HSPL" where you can flash rom images. I believe it's better with the bootloader because for me camera was the only shortcut you could also find in start menu and it was like it wasn't fitting in.

I'm currently working with your suggestion and it will be finished very soon.

PS: Sorry for my English. if write something that does not make sense to you please tell me to revise.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I have updated the cab to what k8sh suggested. It's much better now.

Thanks k8sh for your ideas.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] philcat:
johcos

I like the icons and the buttons you've put in, but just wondered if you could do something with the shutdown button to open up that 3 option choice shown in the picture here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=587493 then you could get bootloader, camera and one other icon in as well. Just a thought, it might not be to your taste and thanks for the app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
That was extremely fast! I installed the bootloader version. It looks and works great! Hopefully you get more feedback as this is more useful the normal long press end key options and it frees up some quicklink space on home tab.

Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
The image shown there is from a little shutdown app (I was using it for a short period to my second phone "touch diamond") I think that its only customizable to icons and not the functions of the buttons.

It's like assigning xdashutdown to the shutdown button. You also get the same three options.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Thanks k8sh. Thats why I started making this cab in the first place. I wasn't happy with the original endkey function, it's way much better now. My second step is to integrade it to my ROM, probably tomorrow.

Thanks again for your ideas and feedback.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Trevize:
Very nice. Works ok in my spanish vodafone Leo.

Buen trabajo!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 85362:
wow, better than HTC action screen, I like it.

my phone is SE X1, I found bluetooth on/off not working, \windows\togglebth.exe is ok.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
WOW now this is awesome!!! keep up the great work. i have a request... is there any way that you can make it so that it automatically shows the current background you have set for sense instead of the black background??? i think that would really set this app off.

also, somethings up with my landscape. when i open the app in landscape, it turns to landscape but still shows like it is in portrait. i can post a screenshot if needed. i have a sprint tp2 on stock 6.5 if it makes a diff.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] philcat:
Yeah, but my point was that one shut down button combines the full shut down, soft reset and I think the lock button, so that you could put the camera button and maybe the video button and the bootloader button in all at the same time , because you would free up the space taken at the moment by the soft reset and lock buttons, it gives you the shutdown options off one button allowing you to put in other buttons in their place. I hope this makes sense now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] JHimmelbauer:
Great solution!

Is it possible to change the background to full black?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Please go to [HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_7] with a registry editor and edit "path" to \windows\togglebth.exe and you're set.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
1. I'm afraid this cannot be done because the app uses a special format for images (.brn), you would have to convert every image you're using as a manila wallpaper to the brn format.

2. I know about this problem its because the program does not support landscape. I have something in mind I haven't found any free time to try it. As soon as I'll try I'll post the results here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Yes it can be done. I'll do it tomorrow though when I get home.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ongtroi:
When it goes into the vibrate mode, the icon text should read "Disable Vibrate" or just use the original HTC text (don't remember it)

Another request, can you make it so it doesn't go off too soon?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
+1 on black too (it will remove the slight annoyance of that black outline when the button is pressed). Thanks for your work!

Also, is it possible to make the icons slightly smaller than what they are now? Possibly similar size to the icons in home tab? If not, it's ok. Just a thought.

And perhaps edit Data Connection on/off to just Data Connection Off since that's what it really does?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wills7802:
Thanks guys, this is an awesome program. It works perfectly... I have also checked the data connection on/off, and both work perfectly for me.... Thanks again....u guys rock...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
This cannot be done because the text is written in the background. If you want though I could change it to "Vibration on/off"

Sorry I can't do that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Would you prefer (the smaller button) to be centered with the original button overlapping it or something else?

The data connection on/off works to some people. To change it to only off the only thing you would have to change is the registry value "Param" from "-gprstoggle" to "-gprsoff".

The value is in this key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_5]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I have uploaded the black one please check first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
First, it is a very good nice job

BUT

I guess there is a bug with the new BLACK EDITION, both cabs have the CAMERA ICON :D + the supposed bootloader ( which is a camera icon ) doesnt turn the device into bootloader ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Sorry I'm fixing it now and uploading.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I've uploaded the correct file now. Sorry :o

It should be ok now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
I can confirm that the BLACK BOOTLOADER VERSION is working now.

Thanx alot dude........... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
I have a suggestion,

everybody now have to restart manila everytime he adds something to it ( CHT clocks-themes...etc )

It would be very nice if you included it in your action screen...............

see attachment :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I will try it and post it here
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
I installed the black bootloader version to device. It's getting better and better!

How come the data on isn't working for me even when it is set to toggle? I thought everyone has the same issue as I do with this data connection, that it cannot be turned on, just off. Is it rom related?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I also think it's ROM related, not sure though.

But as I told you before it's not a problem for me as connecting is automatic and because it works for some people I leave the setting to toggle.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
It's ready see first post
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
can you integrate this app named ram sweeper instead of restart manila? ram sweeper also restarts sense. the cab is posted below
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Whenever I run ramsweeper arkswitch shows an error message and I have to reset because nothing else works.

I believe there's a conflict between arkswitch and ramsweeper because the second is trying to kill the first.

I will make a short of addon cab if you want, to change the lock button to ramsweeper.

I need you to tell me though the exact location of ramsweeper in your device.

PS: Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that ram freeing apps are useless for HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
wow that sucks at no ram cleaner for hd2. Ram sweeper is at /Program Files/RAM Sweeper/RAM Sweeper.exe

can you put the lock button where restart manila is and add ram sweeper where bootloader/camera is?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I'll do it as you ask and upload it tomorrow.

For the first part that you're saying it sucks without ramsweeper I ment that ram sweeper is not needed because HD2 has loads of ram. The problem thats happening to me is because of arkswitch.

mind if i ask what phone are you using?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
The Restart Sense replacing the Lock is perfect!!! I disabled both my CHT and MS lockscreens (I read in Mobility Digest that this stops the freezing and they are right so far!) so I don't have much use for the Lock button. Great work! Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
i have a touch pro 2 on stock sprint 6.5 rom with sense 2.5.2012, thats why i was asking about landscape. btw, its working great on my tp2! yea i thought about hd2 not needing a ram cleaner with that snapdragon.

After playing around with the app a little more, if you take the latest black version you made and change "rotate screen" to "RAM Sweeper" this app would be perfect on tp2 and other WVGA devices as well.

If you are serious about getting landscape or anything else working, i am willing to test out anything you need tested.

P.S. I posted a pic of what happens in landscape if i have my keyboard open and activate the app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
If you don't want the restart option, install the bootloader black version and not the latest version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
i played around with the latest black version and i like it the way it is except rotate screen. all i would like is to remove rotate screen, as my screen already rotates using the gsensor. replacing the rotate screen with ram sweeper would be perfect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
Well Done Mate........................;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HawkEye583:
That's I was looking for :)

Thanks johcos:cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Here is the version you asked.(It's full and not an addon). if something is wrong with it I would be happy to correct it.

For landscape I tried a few things I had in mind but with no result. Whatever image or setting I'm using the app keeps showing in portrait orientation.

PS: I hope you like it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] colossus_r:
Hi johcos

Great app

Can you please make one with a gtx background

i have post 2 of them

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Yes no problem. you want the one with ramsweeper?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] colossus_r:
The one with manila restart and bootloader ...

Poli exypno san idea...bravo

Eyxaristo poly
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
Thanks man! its working great! now i can easily clean my ram. ive got a few tp2 friends that could find this app very useful, ill be sure to point them to this great app. keep up the good work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
Is Ram sweeper same as Clean Ram?

(Sorry, I know I could search but I posted in the wrong thread and I thought I might as well post something other than 'delete'.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
yep, its just like clean ram. i prefer it over other apps like it because its fast, simple, and never gave me any problems, o yea and it works lol.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Ok but you'll have to excuse me for today because I haven't had any free time.

euxaristo file tha to exo etoimo aurio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Thank you my friend I'm always happy to help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I have found a way to make the icons "aware of the situation". I don't know if i'm using the right words but what I mean is, to have the icon of WiFi for example black and white when WiFi is turned off and to change to color when you enable it. I don't know if it's worth the time and efford to try it as I don't have much time lately and another reason is that if bluetooth or WiFi is on or off is quite obvious as you can see them in the taskbar. (It's more eyecandy than useful).

That's why I'd like to ask you if you would want such a feature or how useful it would be for you, so that I could better decide if it's worth the time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] JHimmelbauer:
thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
i say the icons are fine like they are.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
I think it is already perfect as it is. I installed the version with ram sweeper, although it doesn't state how much ram has been freed nor closes apps like clean ram, I still find that more useful in my case than the rotate screen. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
ram sweeper should close all apps then show you how many mb were freed. did you install the ram sweeper cab i posted a few pages back? i thought it would just work without the cab like snatch screen does, but it doesnt. so try installing ram sweeper.cab to device memory and that should solve your issues.

you should see a gray bar across the screen when ram sweeper is cleaning, then get a pop-up saying how much ram was cleaned.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
Not yet. I thought it was stand alone like snatch screen too (I must have misunderstood). I will download the one you posted. Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
no problem man. let me know if that fixes it for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
You'll have to install ramsweeper as I didn't included it in the cab
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Here's the GTX version you asked for. Hope you like it. (this is the updated version as posted below)

PS: Sorry for the delay.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Here is an updated cab.

I replaced some exe's that handled the connections with JMLcomm. Now it's smaller in size and flight mode and DATA on/off sould work for everyone.

Please see first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] colossus_r:
Thanks m8

colossus
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] allcal:
thnx man love it !!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puff601:
did you update the one wit ramsweeper? also, could you cook ram sweeper in ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aLlamaWithARifle:
It might have already been covered already but it's quite a huge thread so I haven't read all of it.

But I'm having problems with the rotate screen option, when I am sending a text when I use the create new option then the auto rotation works fine but when I go into a persons list of messages and then try and auto rotate it doesn't seam to do it. So when I use the rotate screen on the end key option it turns the screen the opposite way of the auto rotate would and then when I press a letter on the keypad the little box that shows the letter you pressed appears in the same place it would if the screen was rotated the other way (the same way it rotates from auto rotate)

Hopefully that made some sense, what can I do about this?

Other then that though this is a great little mod, makes the end key much more usefull
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johcos:
Can you please tell me when you press the rotate screen button for a second time what happens so that I can figure out which version you're using?

If it rotates counterclockwise and it goes like the hardware buttons are on the top then please download the latest updated version.
