New version with big FIX... on my TG01...

i will report asap...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DuttBeefe:
Still no go.

Hi thanks for the reply..

I have redownloaded these Driver from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=416474..

I can not run the SJ D3D Mobile Samples for some reason i get an error but i can run Tower Defense (Game) which works perfect. (D3D).

Heres my new ini and log from latest version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Hi. Does Tower Defense require .NET? D3D for .NET may work and D3D for Win32 may not. iManager uses Win32 and does not use .NET.

In any case some guys use iManager in OpenGL mode on Samsung Omnia.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DuttBeefe:
I dont know.. Has other ppl with Omnia II got this working?

Have u any ideas i can try?

Could u put together on the first post a table of whats working and what isnt?

I know most ppl dont have time to read all the pages..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
This guy is russian and we discuss the program in the russian thread. I don't know if he speaks english or not. So I'll ask him about drivers and rom version he has.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DuttBeefe:
Thanks.

My Device info..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
He has custom ROM:

PDA I8000NXXJG2

CSC I8000SERJH2

WM CE 5.2.23144 ( 23144.5.3.10 Build )

ROM has built in HTC_SensorSDK and OpenGLESv1

I think you should find OpenGL ES for your device with the hardware support for your device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DuttBeefe:

Antru..

Thanks for all your help.

I think i have got it working with GL but when i press the button to activate it (log still on) and does nothing and closes.

All i did was Install the files from the zip on this post http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=291735&view=findpost&p=1420145 and changed to OpenGL in ini file.

Log attached.

Version 5 on Telstra HD2 - vibration problem

Hi Antru - loaded V5. When iManager is activated the phone goes into continuous vibration mode. Doesn't stop until you select a screen. Vibration starts again the moment iManager is reactivated until you stop scrolling and select a screen.

I have reverted to v4 - this was working perfectly for me anyway. Regards:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Log says that your render is pure software.

0xA4AEDD5A: Vendor: Marvell Implementation of OpenGL ES

0xA4AEDD5A: Renderer: Pure Software

0xA4AEDD5A: Version: 2.0.4

In any case test the program in attached file. Tell me about results please. If it works, if it works slowly or if it work fast. It creates report. Post its report please.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Did you try 0.03.05.01a or 0.03.05.02a? I fixed same bug allready in version 0.03.05.02a. Tell me if not.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DuttBeefe:
Oh ok..

I have tested the TestOpenGL.CAB i get an error..

Iv also tested another libgles_cm file. which made it work. Worked ok first launch but after i press button to bring it up it does not have background picture only the icon with a dark grey clear background.

log file also attached..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Probably you should find correct OpenGL drivers.

UPD: try attached file
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Stefano_1986_:
OpenGL: ok

D3D: white screen :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
We'll deal with D3D. Surely.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] freewind29:
The latest one works pretty good with my hd2, thanks for your hard works!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
Antru...

the Snap scroll is awesome...

Startup delay is so cool... damn i ove this apps...

Now i use uTask and launch i manager with long press on X...

AEbuttons+ is out of my device...

Thx...

Ps... have you a snow problem in your country...??? i ve seen unbelievable picture on TV last night... European, we are in troube with weather condition...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Stefano_1986_:
Tnx.

This application is really very nice :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Thanks for testing and good review

We have no problems with snow. Snow is a common thing for our country :) every year. But the hot summer (+40) probably will cause cold winter. I expect -40 this winter.

By the way, I visited your country this spring. I love Paris. It's a very great city. Good and intelligent people and good architecture.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
very interesting new features

they are GREAT

will try and report later

ur effort is really appreciated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ross202:
Must have been v 1 because I've just installed 2a and it works fine - no vibration
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Program update

Version: iManager 0.04.00a.Software.Render

Changes:

1. Software GDI render (ini-file Config - Render = GDI)

2. Ini-file parameter - Scroll - ZoomTime = 200 (in milliseconds)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
Thanks for the update, what differences is this GDI going to make compared to OpenGL and D3D? Curious:). Edit: Well this version defiantley loads up faster than the last one, my question is answered:).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xxxThiefxxx:
very good program... tnx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
Back at home...; Send feedback ASAP...

Install in progress...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
hi again

thanx for the update

here is my feedback

- the scroll speed in GDI mode is VERY IMPRESSIVE its very fast, faster than the openGL mode, even with halftexture = off,,, well done :D

but there is a big draw back, the zooming in and out the window is very slow in this mode "GDI", its way faster in openGL mode

to alleviate this i made the zoom time 1100, it made it better " still its not as smooth as OpenGL" but now the motion take longer time with no perfect smoothness

- snap scrolling is a brilliant idea, very handy indeed

but i noticed a step at the end of window movement

i mean, when u swipe the window up or down, the window move with smooth motion until when it reach just before the center of the screen, it just jump to the center, u can notice it if u got what i mean

i think it needs fine tuning

other than that the program is WONDERFULL, really needed and very handy

thanx again

wondering whats gonna come next

its great already

thanx :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nepweb:
Thank's, my Diamond p3700 work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hi, you're task manager is great and I'll integrate it in a rom for HD2 I'm about to launch.

I have a request and hope you can deal with it:

I use LMT to launch iManager and close programs but if I launch iManager after used some programs and closed them with LMT gesture I have to deal with a long list of preview despite those programs are already closed and with some duplicates previews of the same program because I've launched them more than once.

This can happen too if you're using Ameba or some other task manager that can close programs instead of just minimize it beside iManager.

So, when iManager do a refresh (defined in UpdateTime ini section) is it possible to do a scan of active processes and unload all who don't exist from the list and keep only the last preview of a same program?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Hi. I think it's a little bit early to use iManager in constant form. Or even to include it in ROM distributions. I have a problem with unclosed windows and I hope to fix this bug (or it is not a bug) soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I hope too :)

Everything else (exept the preview of already closed processes) work very well on my test rom, very smooth and fast.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Wait for the next version. It's about to be released. This bug is fixed and some new features are coming with it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
cant wait :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Program update

Version: iManager 0.05.00a.User.Requests

Changes:

1. New render type: Realtime - ligth version of software render without any textures

2. CloseOnDeactivate option. iManager closes after first app activated by it.

3. Real vibration work time. Try use Vibrate=10 or Vibrate=20 to test this. (Test if your music stops while iManager vibrate and tell me please, I'll make it optional feature).

4. Left Slide and Right Slide separate remove action types.

5. Bug with incorrect windows is fixed.

6. New scroll type: KineticSnap. It is combination of Kinetic and Snap. KineticSnap is the same Kinetic type but it stops at screenshots center.

7. Some sort of skins or images on back and screenshots.

Separate remove action types description:

New section in ini-file: [RemoveAction]

It has two parameters: Left and Right that can take the following values: { Remove | Hide | Close | No action }

Close - force close any window

Hide - force hide any window

No action - do not do anything when trying to slide this direction

Remove - standart action which is described in [On Remove] section.

Skins:

Supported file formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, WBMP, ICO - these formats are supported by my Windows Mobile. Try it.

Usage:

There are two parameters for back and for screens: BackSkin, BackSkinOpacity, ScreenSkin, ScreenSkinOpacity. If you don't want to use background skin - use BackSkin=Off. If you set BackSkin = image.jpg then there whill be an image on the back. And the screenshot of window will be layered above with the opacity, set in BackSkinOpacity (0..100%). The same is to ScreenSkin and ScreenSkinOpacity. BackSkin is not working when you switch BackTexture=Off.

If you switch BackSkin and ScreenSkin off then all the image loading and rendering system will be switched off that increases the speed of iManager launch and activation.

TextureHalf=On affects the skin textures.

Image size can be any of your choise but it is more efficient if you use the same dimensions as your device has. In the other case image will be unproportionally resized to screen dimensions.

I attach some pictures for 480x640 and 480x800 to test.

When you write BackSkin=image.jpg remember that this is the filename without path and image must be in the same folder as the iManager.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
Skin feature... Definitly, i love this apps... :D: cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
Sweet there is skins now, can't wait to try this version :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Great! definitivly adopted. Sometimes there is duplicated screenshots but all closed when the program is closed itself. I like KineticSnap, very good idea.

@lesscro: I've seen you're swype w7 skin but I don't know where I can find the azerty version, can you help me? Thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
What do you mean? Duplicated windows or incorrect screenshots on some windows?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
which swype version ? if it s latest...

go here : http://lesscro.com/file.html

@ antru, works like a charm...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
sometimes imanager shows duplicated window of the same program "e.g windows media player"

in the final version they are both closed when u close the program u are using
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Yes. And I don't know how to deal with it yet. If iManager shows duplicated windows then there are several windows of the same task. More to say: if I make one window per exe file then some important windows will be lost, for example Programs and Settings are two different windows of the same exe file: shell32.exe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
You're using c++? Perhaps the method "GetWindowsText" is helpful, so you can compare each window titles and avoid duplication. Don't know hows your code working exactly, so simply forget it, when it isnt helpful (=
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Yes, I used it before. But it is a dangerous function if you want to get caption of a window of another process. If the process stuck then your application will be deadlocked. I'm using SendMessageTimeout(WM_GETTEXT) now.

The duplicated windows problem is not so simple as it seems. I will think about it more precisely.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
Finally got some time to test the new version out and the back skin works good. I also like the CloseOn deactivation option and KineticSnap feature. I have a question I was looking through the config and was trying to find an option to change the window opacity(without a screen image) becuase in some windows where it shows the program with the complete picture you can't see the background. Is there option like this that I'm not seeing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Have you tried [Render] - Opacity? It can be 0-100, this is screenshot opacity in percents.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
No I haven't, I thought that it had something to do with OpenGL, D3D, and GDI :) . Which Render is it? The one under Config or Debug?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
It must work in D3D and OpenGL. Section [Render], parameter Opacity.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Thx I've missed it, i was trying cabs on this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653256

I'ts exactly what I was meaning. I agree it's not look simple.

For exemple RSS Hub: The Task RSSHub.exe has three states, Channels, threads of a channel and detailed message. In a task manager you'll have only the task (same location but different number of threads) but in iManager you can have screens for the three states and it's not usefull because when you active one you'll go only to the message, you can't go back to channels if you havn't closed the message.

In a task manager like Arkswitch if you close RSSHub.exe, you close all at once, with LMT gesture if you close the message you go back to the list, in iManager if you have chance you close the message one and go back to the list but you can close the wrong one (channels) and have dead screens of list and message because they don't exist anymore.

In you're exemple "Programs and Settings are two different windows of the same exe file: shell32.exe" it's true but you can't have both at same time.

I don't know if it's helpfull but you can refer to programs like TaskFacade and if it's too complicated just add an option to keep only one screen and add an excluded section in the ini file for programs which need multi states.

But the more important is: that's not very important for me :p because this version don't keep already closed programs so the list isn't so big to bother me, I like iManager like it is ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
its not annoying at all

if its so bothersome to fix just forget it

coz the program works as a charm
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
Lol wow I didn't even notice that section facepalm.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Yes I have. I can see two different windows "Programs" and "Settings" (it has no window name) in the iManager at the same time. Maybe I could get rid of duplicated windows that have the same captions and same exe-files but I'm not shure that they are equal. For example Microsoft Word can have two different windows with the same captions: file list and the editor itself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Argghhh^^

I've reinstalled Taskfacade I used few months ago based on the sources of the first graphical task switcher called Dynamo. There is always only one screenshot of a same task for exemple you have only editor for word and message for RSS Hub. And none for things like Settings and others which refers to shell32.exe, repllog.exe etc.

Perhaps it's impossible to do both, a graphical task switcher and a task manager in the same program without duplicates.

In my rom I use LMT gestures to close a task or closeall, iManager to switch and Arkswitch which remplace nativly TaskMgr.exe if I want more so if you add an option to keep only one window I'll be very very pleased but I rejoin fido: It's not annoying at all :)

Thanks to share you're work.

Program update

Version: iManager 0.05.02a

Changes:

1. Some bugfixes

2. Try to fix landscape problem

Please try landscape mode. Try to rotate screen while iManager is active or inactive. Try to launch iManager before after rotate. Try in different render modes (D3D, OpenGL, GDI, Realtime). Report about the results please.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
Hi Antru..

1st to say Thx for new version... i ll be back to test ...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igorbr1:
amazing app...it's work very well on my omnia 2...perfect...better any other task manager...

just one question..how can i exclude another apps, like throttlelaucher, to be show in iManager???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
Specified in 1st post..; in imanager.ini.txt

Have fun...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
You can exclude by window name or by executable name. See ini-file description.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
I tried the new version. Landscape before launching imanager doesn't work, the screen is cut in half. Launching imanger when the screen is already in landscape nothing happens. Hopefully my log will help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
Hi Antru..

Once Again i ll be back to test ...

D3D... report...

Blank screen portrait & landscape...

more to come///[/QUOTE]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
@Antru for the scroll speed what is highest numerical value we can put for it? I'm using Kinetic for scroll type and was trying to get it how it was when the app first came out, when it scrolled super fast through the windows :). Edit: Nvm Antru, 9,000 for the scroll speed works good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
i can confirm this

i tried the program in openGL and GDI mode

with the same result

the screen is half black and half "not complete view of the program"

if u need my reports i'll attach it later
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Program update:

Guys! Try this version in landscape mode.

Version: iManager 0.05.03a
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Hi! Please try D3D mode with TextureHalf = On and Off. Same result?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
On or OFF... same issue behind White Blank screen... but before White screen appear during 10 ms... i can see iManager windows scroll...

About screen rotation during iManager work... for me still cut half screen and i launch iManager after rotation, NOW... screen go back to Portrait..;

LeSScro

Have a nice Xmas... ANtru
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Guys! I'm making up the configurator design. What do you think about this one?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
Beautifull and clean... i can say, i love it !!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Thanks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
I agree with lesscro, it looks really nice :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
I hope it will look nice in the program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
I tried the 0.05.03a version

GDI mode:

if i was in the imanager then go to the landscape mode, the screen show the 2 half screen problem

but if i was in the landscape mode before i open imanager

the program works normally and slide horizontally

p.s, the zooming in and out during landscape mode is somehow broken

- i love the new configurator design, nice choice ;)

thanx alot for ur efforts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] valmar:
Привет antru, заинтриговал,пойдёт на diamond 3700? и как назначить кнопку?

Благодарю!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
any info abt the new version??!

it has been quite for a while
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ross202:
I like it - should be quite useful - will round out the App nicely:o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrJSO:
I finally updated from my ancient version to the most recent iManager. (Touch2, 240x320)

I was using a software openGL lib, and now I can finally switch to GDI. I'm now experiencing perfect iPhone smoothness, with full res textures on, smooth scrolling, alpha on, ...

All I can say is: you. are. awesome.

Thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] x1Albertx1:
Using XPERIA X1 stock R3A rom, imanager runs good (minus the bug already reported of getting half screen size when going to landscape in a certain circumstance)

But it only shows screenshots of the pages wich i had running in the forground when i opened imanager. From other programs it will not make a screenshot and it shows gray panel with application icon in center.

How to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Hi! It's not a bug. It is impossible to get screenshot of a window if it wasn't active. Screenshots are made when switching to the iManager and while switching apps if iManager is launched already.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
u can improve that by setting

- HideWhileInactive = On

- AutoStartUp = On

- ScreenSkin = image u want

- ScreenSkinOpacity = 99

it will become way better

as the window pictures taken will stay in memory, without being restored every time u open the program

note: if u r using xperia, mine works better with GDI mode

and disable the loging to make it faster
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alex48gta:
great app! works really good on my HTC Pure.

great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
iManagerConfig

I'm still alive and still working on iManagerConfig. The work is dreary and painstaking and not as dynamic as when I worked on iManager itself. But give me a little bit more time. As my favorite game developer Blizzard says, "We intend to take as much time developing Diablo III as is necessary to ensure the game meets our own high expectations and those of our players."

By the way. If you have screen width other than 240 or 480 then tell me about it. I must mention it.

Thanks to you if you are still waiting the developement completion, thanks to your help and support, they are invaluable for me.

Wait a little bit.

You will not regret it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
Antru... you are safe ! I will follow you, and keep my eyes on this thread...

iManager 3D is the best... yep !

Wait & see... :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
Thanks so much for the update, take as much time as you need ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pete_S:
Antru: Thanks so much for such a mature bug free app in such a small package, it's good enough to be a stock app (is that a compliment?!). I've been looking for something like this for my Topaz (TD2) for ages. It's made it feel brand new and up to date! It's running perfectly on WM 6.1 (!Aman! 2F ROM).

Can I be bold enough to suggest an additional feature? The ability to keep an app on the list all the time even when the app isn't running. I know your app is a task switcher, not a launcher, but it would be handy for apps like my old version Nitrogen music player which don't like being suspended and have to be closed after use.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Didn't exactly understand what do you mean.

You can choose hiding or closing method for each window/process separately.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pete_S:
I meant the possibility of having an app window permanently showing in iManager even when the app isn't running. So, for example, even if I killed Nitrogen player the window remains behind on iManager ready for me to launch it again, rather than having to go through the Start Menu to launch it again.

I realise that I'm asking for limited launcher capability from what is a task manager. It would be handy because commonly used apps which might not be running can be launched without leaving the iManager environment, so you wouldn't need to see the WM6 environment at all

But don't worry, I'm very happy with iManager the way it is!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antru:
Important

Interesting feature. Let's discuss this with other forumers.

To all. What do you think about it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
Ya that sounds like a good idea :).
