BatteryStatus-Plugin, DeviceLock and Overclock for XDA Neo

[illi]

I use Ariel Battery v2.0. I place the icon/indicator in the upper left corner over the windows start icon so it is always available and does not occupy any valuable real estate.

It can be downloaded here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364278

Another great piece of software. Looks good on my TouchPro (Raphael).

TQ oak:D

[w04g005]

yes hehe
i'm a PhD student, but in germany it's different (at least what i do). I'm working as a research scientist and doing a doctorate while doing research. I'm settled in the field of human computer (touch) interaction and HS++UI is a good resource for my researches.
The good news is that i will work on HS++UI for sure, because what theme-makers do is playing with UI (and users are experiencing interaction). The bad news is that the research field has more aspects, such as multitouch or tangible interaction.. so just a matter of time for HS++UI hehe

but of course.. feedback is still welcome as always. If windows mobile comes up with support for multitouch, then ... guess what HS++UI ... :D

greetings from Augsburg!
I saw that you are working on multitouch! Do you know if multitouch is only a software issue? or do you need a special display? Do you think if it is possible to install AND use WM7 (if it gets reeased!!) on actual ppcs.
sorry for asking those offtopic questions.

greetings

[dave.]

Ok it is offtopic but it is important.
so multitouch is although hardware. a normal touch gives a resistant value at every event. so a mulitouch must be able to give 2 resistant value a time and i think that isn´t possibile. afaik multktouch needs a capasive touch. so you can´t use a multitouch software with a singel touch device.
so you know my profession is SMT.

greetingsit's both a software as well as a hardware issue.
As you can use a stylus with your diamond -> it's probably a resistive touchscreen, which is capable of only one "touch" at a time.
There are ways for such displays to approximate more "touches" with some extensions, e.g. a circuit with some less components but i don't know if the diamond has such a feature.

dave is right.. Multitouch like the iPhone needs a different kind of touchscreen.

It's just a guess... even if you can bring WM7 to the diamond.. multitouch will probably not work.
Of course.. i may be wrong as well and that would be great :D

[Meuterich]

Hello,

it is doable, that the tray icons are bigger so that i can touch without the stylus?

cheers,
M.

Hi,

ist es machbar, dass die Trayicons groesser eingestellt werden als diese 16 px? Notfalls wuerde mir auch ein 'RegHack' reichen, aber wenns in im Plugin moeglich waer, waers auch gut :) Waer dann einfacher da mit dem Finger drauf zu tappen. ^^,

Gruesse,
M.

[melvynadam]

I just visited the project home page and the sidebar includes links to the following pages:

HomeScreen PlusPlus (UI) - formerly known as BatteryStatus
HomeScreen PlusPlus - formerly BatteryStatus Free
HomeScreen PlusPlus UI - User Interface - formerly BatteryStatus Advanced


Have you any idea how confusing these product names are to a new user? Can anyone tell the difference between HomeScreen PlusPlus (UI) and HomeScreen PlusPlus UI - User Interface? Removal of the parentheses?

The introductory text on the home page makes things even worse! Some excerpts:

HomeScreen PlusPlus UI Edition (formerly BatteryStatus Advanced)
BatteryStatus is now HomeScreen++UI or HomeScreen PlusPlus UI !!!


What the hell is this thing called?!

The homepage is in desperate need of a simple overview page. It should start by listing how many flavors there are, what they are called, and what the differences are.

[ikarus]

Hello,

it is doable, that the tray icons are bigger so that i can touch without the stylus?

cheers,
M.yes, it is possible but not with the default-todayscreen.
You have to use SecondToday and HomeScreen++UI.
The default-todayscreen is not capable of that feature.

[hardcore4ever]

Hi ikarus,

I have one question:

It's possible to have BatteryStatus running on a 2D Manila rom?

Thanx. ;)

[ikarus]

What the hell is this thing called?!well.. thanks for your feedback at first.
This is not a commercial product and i prefer to spent time on developing (or research) and i guess most of the users want me to do this hehe
A nice website is nice, but i don't earn money with it, so i don't really care about that..
In fact it costs money and time and with the rapidly increasing uncertainty of german it-laws (e.g. DNBG) anything gets more difficult..
If you don't have time to read the pages or don't have enough base knowledge, then just use a "simpler" tool.

Hi ikarus,

I have one question:

It's possible to have BatteryStatus running on a 2D Manila rom?i don't know about such roms, but have you read the previous posts?

[hardcore4ever]

i don't know about such roms, but have you read the previous posts?

I've done it. I put the batterystatus running on second today plugin.

Thanx. ;)

Hi Ikarus!

One more minor rendering bug:
1) setup my theme
2) Set PowerUp notification with exec RegistrySetString.exe ... "Command" "100 0 1". By executing file my3\Tools\Register-Switch2HomeView.msrc (MortScript is needed).
3) Switch to 4 view
4) Select any item by keyboard ( see capture002 )
5) Press power button to make sleep device
6) Wait some time
7) Press power button to turn on device
8) Now we see main view with selected rect from previuos view ( see capture003 ). Normaly it must look like capture001.

thanks for reporting.
I must confess that the command queue is not good tested since introduction of the animations.
I'll check the code for command queue this weekend.

[ikarus]

Hi Ikarus!

One more minor rendering bug:
...
see capture003 ). Normaly it must look like capture001.Hi dan_ru again..
i've checked the code and the code is working as expected :D
The problem is that you supply the command to command-queue when the device is in idle-mode or so, that is it is not fully powered on.
Since HS++UI is designed to be as resource-friendly as possible it does not execute unnecessary code when the device is not fully powered on.
e.g. it does not render the screen if the display is turned off and so on..

so.. the best you can do is to delay the execution of your script, e.g. for 800ms. Does that help?

[brutalturtle]

I've been using batterystatus on my touch(elf) for almost 7 months now, very happy with everything. But recently it bombards me with popups "Thank you for using batterystatus, this is freeware...". I literally receive the popup 3 times a day. During phone calls even. Is there any way to stop this from happening ikarus?

I am using version 1.05.120 beta5 build 0304. It is very old I know, but I've never had any problems with it.

You are wrong :cool:. Script put command in queue AFTER exiting from idle-mode by PowerUp event!

No, it don't

You can increase the size of the lower bar tray icons, as in the Second Today. How? Thank you.

[tiggerbcn]

Hello, every time I like more this program since it allows many things, but I have a problem with some plug of the today. I would like to include the plugin of Spb Weather, but let's not salt me, if I put this instruction:
<Item absolute="3" class="tPlug" title="Spb Weather">
it does not show me the plugin, but if I put this:
<Item absolute="3" class="tPlug" title="WeatherPanel">
this plugin if it shows it to me.
Is not the HomeScreen compatible with Spb Weather?
Thank you

I could not be able to set a predefined frequency for IGO8 on my HTC prophet.
Fisrt i tried choosing "igo8" from a list of available applications in my ppc but there is no chance.
then I saw that the working applications appears in the list for overclocking. So I tried running igo8 but when I minimize igo8 , it doesn't appear in the active tasks list.

What should I do to enable overclock'in for igo8?
please giude me..

ikarus, don't you think ,that it may be a time to implement SIMPLE method for dual-cfg's?
i am amazed, that topic is ignored for so long.
detection - p/l, then using portrait/landscape XML should not be HARD to TEST.
i know, this is xda dev, and 99% of users have SHITTY SLOW devices from htc, BUT geez, They MAY wait for 3 seconds for portrait/landscape theme on their qualcomm, omap, samsung shit, YES?

(do not flame me, people, for harsh words..).

i am desperate for SIMPLE solutions. at last...

please, ikarus, think about TEST rev of hs++ with simple dualcfg based on screen orientation check.

hi there,

is there a way to load another theme when switching from porttrait to landscape or from landscape to portrait ?

thx

i have not tested it myself but i think it could be done with mortscript:

1st create another theme for landscape orientation

create a morstscript which does the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\ HomeScreen PlusPlus\ThemeFile = "yourtheme_landscape.xml"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\ HomeScreen PlusPlus\Command = "1" (this reloads the hs++ theme)

you can assign the script either to a button or to an event which can be read out in the registry (if you slide out the keyboard or, in case you own a diamond, you turn the diamond by 90 degrees).
in this case you have to write another script which continuously reads the corresponding registry value and activates the above script.

if your device is a qvga device then obviously you have to shrink your skin as the screen width is 240px.

if it is a vga device: :confused:

[bububang]

my device is qvga. That mean it must be within 240px? :(

[egoist6]

my device is qvga. That mean it must be within 240px? :(

from a hardware point of view your device has the following resolution (portrait):
width: 240px
height: 320px

this means: (icon at position left = "x") + (icon width = "y") < 240 in portrait mode.
these are very basic fundamentals. it would be better to get familiar with these before starting to skin - no offense, just a recommendation.

if you need different skins for portrait and landscape mode, see my previous post.

i do not know exactly what of the following you want to achieve:
1. if you want a sliding menu row, then i think you have to add adaptwidth="0" to your view
2. if you do not want to slide your row then you have to squeeze everything into your row with a maximum of 240px

Is there any way (command-line, registry or something else) to enable and disable the device lock from HS++?

I have problems with iGo and my Kaiser, so i´d like to have it disabled befor iGO starts and endabled after it´s finished.

hello,
i have a german xperia x1 and i have a strange behaviour of the battery bar. it just goes 10 steps. this means it shows 0% 10% 20% .. and so on. nothing between.

do you want to enable/disable device lock or do you want to prevent your device from automatically locking your device?

if the latter is the case:
hkcu\controlpanel\backlight\autodevicelockenable
is the key you are looking for

but it still blacks the screen if configured under settings

I want to disable the feature that the device is locked after standby.
Because iGO has the problem that with some special settings it will lock the device even when it was not in standby.

I can´t find the reg-key you mentioned

have you tried creating it?
i do not know what device you are using nor the OS.
but i think that the path hkcu\controlpanel\backlight is device-independent

if you create the key make sure it is written
AutoDeviceLockEnable

does the key AutoDeviceLockTimeout exist?
would be another approach to set the value e.g. to 600 (that would be 10 hours...)

that is not really homescreen++ related. please try to get an answer in the xperia forum. i am sure that if there are appropriate dlls available, the rom cookers would have implemented it.

Hi nothin,
this issue isn't ignored ;)
There is already code for handling this, but it crashes very often, so i've decided to delay it.

What has changed since then is that i'm a researcher now and a lot of the things i did for BatteryStatus/HS++UI --> i do for research now and it's a job that takes much much time, but gets paid hehe... apart from that i'm involved in teaching at the university and there are students who could learn from my experiences :D
What i want to say is that i have only some hours weekends for this project and priorities comes more visible.

1. fixing bugs
2. performance
3. features

Fortunatelly there is some time between semsters, where i have more time for projects as well :D

Dear ikarus,
I want to make icon on/off-alarm for program "Klaxon".
Registry value "alarmflags" = 1 this allarm is on / 0 is off.
I write so:

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="progs\alarm.lnk">
<image src="alarm%d.png" top="131" left="-196" />
<imagealt src="alarmP.png" top="131" left="-196" />
<registry key_value="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Clock\0\AlarmFlags"/>
</Item>

but, "%d" always is "0".
Why?
What is wrong?

[egoist6]

... but, "%d" always is "0".
Why?
What is wrong?

because the value of the key is not dword - it is binary.
hs++ is not capable of handling binary values. please read ikarus' post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2165541#post2165541)
you could write a mortscript which reads continuously the alarmflag value, converts it and writes into a dword or string value of your choice which then can be tracked by hs++.

I've got a small feature request: Add the "Homezone"-icon to the taskbar indicator or to the popupmenu.

[ikarus]

I've got a small feature request: Add the "Homezone"-icon to the taskbar indicator or to the popupmenu.it's already part of the taskbar-indicator (with recent builds of course). There is a small H in the taskbar-reading of HS++UI if you're in the homezone ;)

Just to be sure, it's HS++UI and it's in the taskbar-reading of HS++UI!!

[markuz]

Oh. I'm such an idiot :-) I wondered, why there's the "H"...i've installed HS++ three days ago and found the taskbar-option yesterday - when i was in my homezone.

Thank you for this great tool!

Hi!

I set up HomeScreen++UI 1.06.348 build 0348 successfully on my HTC Touch Diamond (German T-Mobile edition)

After playing a while with the settings, the screen hangs and I decided to reboot my device. And then the missery starts:

It boots normal up to the password-dialog.

If I put in the password, i see the PIN dialog. But after that, the screen freezes and I can't do anything. Pressing the power button for a longer time shows up the "turn-off" dialog, so there is still "life" inside my devie ;)

How can I fix this without hard-resetting my lovely touch?

Hi Ikarus!

I've installed HomeScreen++ UI (1.06 - build 0348) in my M88 (WM6), and it seems to be working mostly right. The only annoyance I've found is that the CPU usage indicator always shows 100% usage (I tried loading ABCTaskMan to check it, and the CPU usage it reports makes more sense, it's beween 5-20% with the device mostly idle). I would imagine there is something interfering with the way the program is polling the CPU usage, but I have no idea what it might be. I've tried changing the refresh rate, but it made no difference. Do you have any idea how to solve it/get more information?

Thanks!

Hi Eddy,

no you're right, but you haven't read anything hehe
You need an image for the case that the registry-value does not exist: wifi-1.png

Maybe this will be changed in future to wifi0.png, but that means reduction of that feature.

Hi Ikarus,

Yesterday, it downd on me how to improve HH++ and expand auditory of its users.

In the begining of this month I upgraded my HTC Artemis to HTC Touch HD (aka Blackstone). It has light-sensor which could be used for automatical screen backlight adjastment. But, the native HTC backlight-adjustment program is too stupid and don't let customer change its settings.and the most users of Blackstone either switch the light-sensor off at all or uses third-party SW. Actually just two third-party programs are available - LUMOS and G-Light. Lumos needs .NET 3.5 to be installed and the second drawback is it emloys just simple linear algorithm - backlight intencity is proportional to the intencity of ambient light. G-Light allows user to set-up non-linear responce. But, unfortunatly, G-Light is uses very simple (and very stupid under a lot of ambient circumstances) algorithm of mesuring light-sensor -it just poll's it once a period, e.g. once in 2 sec, and based on received value calculates and sets up backlight intencity. This leads to two drawbacks - backlight intencity flickering from min to max attitude in the conditions when external light permanently changes - in such cases it woould be more comfortable to eye to limit backlight intencity variations near some middle value. And the second disadvantage - battery drain. G-light reduces battery life for about 5-7%.

Ikarus, I've written such many words, just to stress to you the fact that the algorithm you use for polling and overclock the CPU - this algorithm is idially fits the task of autoomatic backlight control. If you implemented light-sensor support in HH++ and backlight control function, then it would be great. I'm confident a lot of HTC Blackstone/Diamond/TouchPro users will say you many thanks!

[eddyve]

Hi Ikarus,

Thankyou for your response. I have figured out in the meanwhile what the problem really is. It is the reg key. The reg key that I used (see my previous post) does not exist.
Instead I am using now this code
<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="ToggleWiFi" onhold="MenuWiFi" >
<image src="WiFi%d.png" left="10" />
<registry key_value="HKLM\System\State\Hardware\wifi" />
Now it works!

Thank you very much again.

After a soft reset it still shows the second view and I can get to the first view without any problem. But if I click again to get into the second view it crashs.

edit: I am using the default theme.
edit2: BTW: The o2 Homezone icon works, while I am in the normal GSM network. But in 3G it doesn't work.

[raulinx007]

out of everything that is in here which one is the batterystatus program

[ajige]

I've updated the configuration program, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...31#post2954731

Version 0.30 Jan 9, 2009
In addition to some bug fixes, the following has been implemented:
-Creating a new file.
-Adding new elements and attributes: Items can only be chosen that are allowed according to the schema file. (However items can still be edited on the main page without validation.)
-Clicking the help button gives shows help for the chosen attribute.
-Application paths can be chosen from a filedialog box.
-Today plugins can be chosen from your registry.
-Comments can be saved as nodes with a # infront.
There are still the occassional crash of the program when saving the file, but
I have been unable to figure out the causes of the crashes. Please let me know if anyone figure out a pattern to the crashes.

thanks for your effort, ajige, good luck with your project.

Happy New Year All!

Ikarus, I searched the forum at "Homepage of Chi-Tai" to see if anyone had asked this question before and didn't find anything related.

I am working on improving my xda-Hybrid theme that I posted on the themes thread, but have an interesting need/problem. I am trying to make the photos view more flexible and offer the ability to change directory location for photo viewing using mortscript. So, I end up with two registry values that I need to keep separate but use both in one Item tag if possible. For example, one registry value equals a directory path (eg., "\Storage Card\Concert Pictures" ) that is selected via mortscript - the second registry value is an image name (eg., "IMAGE_030"). I did try to create one string registry value out of both strings (eg., "\Storage Card\My Pictures\IMAGE_030") and then use "%s.jpg" in my XML, but I couldn't rename and place my 0.jpg and _empty.jpg properly (because of the backslashes) to make the images appear in the Item.

So then trying to be creative, I created a shortcut that points to the chosen photo directory path (eg., PhotoLink) and put that within my src directory tree and tried it in my XML (eg., "PhotoLink\%s" ) - but that was obviously no good either. I also tried to trick xml and have side by side registry_tracker classes together within one Item tag but it blew up on me. :) The last thing I tried was to copy the image into a shortcut (eg., photo.lnk) and use the registry item for the path and use that in my XML (eg., "%s\photo.lnk") but of course, that really was a bad idea too.

Any ideas on a viable solution??

TIA.

Hi,

I'm using 2 ppc with the same Battery Status Ext 1.05.147 build 0330

On the 1st one, the showed operator name is always and only the sim's provider one
On the 2nd one, name is the one of the network really used (i.e. in rooming)

Seems that on the 1st one the value of "HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name" never change

What can I do ?

Hi guys, I added an icon to the tray icons. And know they all dont start from the right corner. There is a gap between the right corner and the first icon (as seen from right to left). This annoys me pretty much :). is this a bug?

[NetSkipper]

Is the author stopped the development of this software?

[ikarus]

Hi NetSkipper,

i'm still alive hehe..
it's just the latest build is good stable and will be released as stable release.
Development is going on, but time for the project is less than when i was a student.

I'm working on interactive surfaces such as the Microsoft Surface and research is somewhat interesting :D
e.g. a thesis i'm giving http://mm-werkstatt.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/diploma.php?id=145

Nevertheless development on HS++UI is going on at all.

[gusmetal]

Is it possible Hs, tray icons to make them bigger and in second to day?
Pardon my ignorance and my English
Greetings

[NetSkipper]

ikarus, hey man, good to hear from you.
For me as a student, I don't have time at all. :)
Good luck with your thesis. It looks very fascinating.
Hope to see some new features on HS++ ;)

I'll send you a pint somewhere in the near future ;)

I love HS++.
BUT
My biggest wish is the fullscreen mode. so i can hide the ugly wm taskbar.
Stopp all who whant to tell me about vjtoggle. it don´t work with my rom (shell32.exe)
Or is fullscreen possibile with secondtoday?
with throttlelauncher fs mode works but it is sooo slow.

Anyone else experienced a problem with Activesync with this app installed?

I think this is a great app thank you however I seem to have come across a problem with it. Work have finally alllowed access to email via Activesync so I duely set this all up. However no matter how many times I checked the remember my password box in Activesync it never synced because it was always looking for me to enter my password!

A colleague didn't suffer from this problem so I wiped the phone clean and setup Activesync which worked 100% fine. I then added my 3 main apps back one by one to see at what point the problem occurred. Everytime it was after the installlation of HomePlusPlus.

If I reset the phone, configure Activesync everything works as expected. However install HomePlusPlus and almost straight away ActiveSync starts prompting me for my password :-(

Nope, never had this kind of problems with any version of BS...

Hi
I installed the newest Homscreenplusplus on my prophet and after using the over- underclocking features the prophet makes annoying buzing noise. This noise started with the overclocking - but it wont go away. It disturbs when i make a phone call and i'm worying about the hardware.
I switched back to 195 mhz, turned the scaling option off , removed dthe battery status and made a hard reset , but norhing helps. The sound is allredy there. It is something like a silent buzzing or whistling.
Do you know how can i remove it ?
thanks K

Hi Ikarus!

Is there any way to unload not just plugins, but other views too, which are not on the screen? I think that the graphic contained views (icon and weather tabs) reserve much memory in gwes.exe...

Thx!

[utak3r]

hmmm.... I'm afraid it would generate huge lags in UI responsiveness... yeah, it's true all those PNGs are RAM eaters, but.. heh, I don't know, it would require some tests and would be very device-dependant.

BUT - on the other side... giving it as an attribute to elements... like you said for example weather icons: let's make it:


<image src="weather\cond%s.png" unload="1" />


hmm... would be probably good idea :)

[Raulka]

<image src="weather\cond%s.png" unload="1" />




It would be good for me, but unfortunately not works, only with plugins... :(

Thanks for your reply!

[ikarus]

It would be good for me, but unfortunately not works, only with plugins... :(

Thanks for your reply!Hi Raulka,
it works only with Plugins.
On the one hand, you could have a little more memory but at the expensive of responsiveness and a responsive user interface is fundamental for a good user experience. Users enjoy using your theme if it reacts immediately and not only in time. Would you use a program, that lets you wait some seconds regularly? Okay some do, but i don't...

So there are assets and drawbacks and in terms of user experience i decided for a good user experience.. it's a design decision.
To mitigate this decision, HS++UI comes with an optimized usage of resources (and memory as well). Anything that isn't used don't get loaded or activated (as you might have observed, because options can disable part of your theme), but UI related things have prio in favour of a good user experience.
Does that help?

[utak3r]

Well...
Still - HS++ with quite a huge, fullscreen, multi-page theme, takes less RAM than some other shells, like Manila or MS... The largest theme I saw took around 2MB of RAM (it has quite a number of tPlugs and many PNGs). So... I don't think it would pay off additional coding to implement that feature :)

Yes I understand that this is a decision between speed and more free RAM, but many user have VGA device with only 64MB RAM. My theme (VGA version!) without launcher icons and weather tab's graphics is reserve 2-3MB but with these above 7-8MB in memory. So this is my problem. If I want to use iGO8 I need 24MB free RAM, and that's why I need switch off HS++ and reset PDA before I can use it.
So would be amazing for example: if I switch off a row, than free up this row's memory usage and not need to reset with fully switched off theme.

Sounds good your plan with optimized usage of resources! I'm waiting excited the new version of the best today plugin!!! :rolleyes:

Thx your reply!

[salahnajm]

is it possible to have the M2D work as a plugin in homescreen plus plus?? I tried it and it works for a few seconds then all the today plugins reset and everything disappears?
is there a way to keep it running?? this would be WAY cool

M2D works in other way.... the real today plugin is just a little stub which runs a whole application... which you can easily see when looking into task manager.
So... no, you can't.

[bilbo_b]

i have used the latest Version of HomeScreen ++ UI with my XDA Neo. Great tool. Now i have buyed a XDA Diamond with VGA Screen. HomeScreen ++ UI works here also, i have disabled the TouchFlow3D. I know that i cant use the overclock feature, but thats not very important. The only things what bothers me, is that i cant use the Taskmanager. It only works on the Today Screen, when i click on the little triangle in the title bar. When there is a programm runing and i click on this triangle, my application is closed :-(

are there any hope to get this Taskmanager back?

[utak3r]

VGA you say... probably it's screen coordinates are improperly measured, hence you're hitting an X instead of the triangle...

[bilbo_b]

is this a problem with the used skin? Since i use my old theme from the Xda Neo, its scaled to the vga resolution.

i have now disabled the htc Taskmanager, via System and the Buttons. I also have renamed the registry in autostart to disable the autostar, but no luck :-( i have rotated the screen to try it, but no change. the Taksmanager works only on the TodayScreen...

[utak3r]

is this a problem with the used skin?

No, it's a problem with HS++ itself, and its this triangle positioning procedure...

Taksmanager works only on the TodayScreen...

It's because on the Today screen you have no X ;)

[bilbo_b]

So it seems we need a solution from the master himself. i hope that ikarus found the time for bugfixing this great program in the next time. thx for your help.

[ikarus]

So it seems we need a solution from the master himself. i hope that ikarus found the time for bugfixing this great program in the next time. thx for your help.hi bilbo_b,
i'm aware of that hehe
Actually you have to disable some htc diamond features for using the HS++UI-TaskManager.
You have to deactivate the htc-taskmanager and the TochFlo-Settings for the htc-menus for speaker and so on...
For the latter you have to go: Start->Settings->System->TouchFLO (uncheck the checkboxes). I don't know if you have to uncheck any of the options, but you may try out yourself.
The cause is that TouchFLO and the htc-extensions seem to hook the taskbar in such a way that it's sitting on top of... so.. no interaction can be applied with other taskbar-apps like the TaskManager of HS++UI.
Does that help?

[ikarus]

Version 1.06 - build 0349 - 03/02/2009:

- added: command-sequence for command-queue seperate by a ‘;’, e.g. 1;1;1
- added: increase priority of gestures for last/first view of a row (only if animate > 100) to animate left-to-right if it’s the first view of a row or right-to-left if it’s the last view of a row

ohhh my goddness... thats it !!!! i have disabled TouchFlow in the TodayPlugins, but i have checked this boxes. It works now. Your are the best, many many thanks, you are my lifesaver. i have searched yesterday for hours in via Google for a over taskmanager like vBar, i have used before your wounderful taskmanager. But nothing of them worked for me...

Now all is fine, you can see a very big smile on my face.

I have some questions about a VGA version of my theme, but this is a other issue, i musst test this on my device and make some screenshots. When i have the time for this, i will be back.

[ikarus]

so, still nothing about dual cfg(portrait/landscape) implementation?of course i don't give up my baby hehe, but i can't spent as much time as when i was a student..
portrait/landscape thoughts and tests are going on, but i'm still struggling with the best compromise between memory usage and runtime behavior (which directly influences user experience).

Hello Chi Tai,

after a long period of time I have a new issue and hope you can help me.

I am using HS++ for years and also S2U2. I like the Backlight fix function of HS++ but it works only in line with device lock. If i turn this function in HS++ on I have to unlock my PDA two times. First is for S2U2 and than the windows lock. Is there a possibility to save the issue?

Thanks

[Raulka]

but i'm still struggling with the best compromise between memory usage and runtime behavior (which directly influences user experience).


Could you releasing two version of HS++? First version is a memory friend, but slower (for VGA devices with 64MB RAM, I would like this version... ) and the other is a turbo version, fully working from memory? :rolleyes:

Thanks your great work again!!!

[egoist6]

I love HS++.
BUT
My biggest wish is the fullscreen mode. so i can hide the ugly wm taskbar.
Stopp all who whant to tell me about vjtoggle. it don´t work with my rom (shell32.exe)
Or is fullscreen possibile with secondtoday?
with throttlelauncher fs mode works but it is sooo slow.

i second that

[nothin]

check nuenobar, nuenobar2, or nuenobar + nuenobar fix.

[Zimaia]

check nuenobar, nuenobar2, or nuenobar + nuenobar fix.

That's no a solution because if you wont to open a wm screen you do not have the taskbar anymore.

The solution must be in HS++ hands like in many other apps that override wm taskbar.

[utak3r]

Stopp all who whant to tell me about vjtoggle. it don´t work with my rom (shell32.exe)


You have to run vjtoggle with some delay, let's say 20 seconds - it will work ok :)

[Gwadro]

That's no a solution because if you wont to open a wm screen you do not have the taskbar anymore.


Not the WM-taskbar, but your own :)

Sorry dave. what about shell32.exe

[nothin]

You have to run vjtoggle with some delay, let's say 20 seconds - it will work ok :)

not true, but i won't argue.
on some wm builds vjtt is just NOT working.
po prostu nie dziala i juz.
gdyby było, jak mowisz, to chyba ręczne odpalenie by dawało pożadany efekt, a nie daje.

[dave.]

How can i try vj with delay?
In my rom (originat O2) vjtoggle only hide the taskbar but i can´t use the fre space. and s.o. told me that the reason is the new (old?) shell23.exe.
So i´m waiting for som solution by HS++. i hide the bottom bar with nueno and it´s fine but the top (taskbar) ....

[bRaKKuS]

will this work on asus p552w? tried pocket hack master and xcpuscalar, but both software don't work on my pocket pc. I would like to underclock to prolong battery standby.

I know to display a clock like this:

But now I really want this clock to be in another timezone.
Can this be done?

you could use mortscript to reinterpret time and write it somewhere in the reg...

[YoLoLo]

Hello ikarus, long time without hearing of me, i guess ;)

(remember, i've worked on the 1st French Translation of this soft...)

And, ho, i'm always willing to help for translations if you need a French translator for further enhancements ! :cool:

BatteryStatus Homescreen++ is one of the 1st soft i install on my machine... SOOOOOOO usefull ! :)

Today, i'm coming in front of you to submit a strange bug...

I'm now using the Ver. 1.06.348 rc2, build 0348
I use the call and data monitoring (SmaatoCost was not a good solution...), and no fancy functions like plugs in plug.. I mean, the look and feel of HS++ is very similar to the 'primitive' app... I don't need a launcher or MortScripts (but it is a good thing that a polyvalent tool can do that !)

Well, my problem : When HS++ plug is enabled with call/data monitoring, task manager, small indicators, a little overclock (234Mhz instead of 195Mhz), NO autoscale, NO tray launcher, I CAN'T succeed in uninstalling other apps with a plug-in (enabed or disabled)... The unsinstall just freeze ! I've tested with the standard app and SkTools... No joy...

If i enter the 'Today's' settings to disable a plug or reorder, the exit is frozen, and i must soft reset to achieve the thing (actions are done after the soft reset)

If i disable HomeScreen++, there is a freeze of device, i soft reset, then i CAN unsinstall apps with plug-ins !!!

I will test to install the latest build this evening

Have you ever heard of that ?

My machine is a fresh one (hard reset to try to solve the bug a few weeks ago), and i still run with good old QTEK S200 ! (what a device !)

Thanks in advance for answer

[utak3r]

I've just wrote a really small tool, which can be useful for themers... it's a keycode scanner. One can get some keys code and later use Mortscript to emulate that (with SendSpecial(key_code) command).

It's a simple tool, written in few minutes... so don't expect any cool features ;) It does recognize both presses and releases of the key, along with its state changes.

With code below this is switch on/off the Row0 and not the Row2 what I want.. What is the problem?

i guess it is the format of your commadline. It should be:

RegistrySetString.exe "102 2"

Since you're using it with StartApp-action, then it has to be

RegistrySetString.exe ::"102 2"

Finally as you're using the commandline as content for an attribute, the double-quotes have to be quoted with xml-entities and it should be -->

path="RegistrySetString.exe ::&quot;102 2&quot;"

Does that work?

[ikarus]

Many, many thanks ! :cool:

One more question:
Could I find the actual screen orientation (landscape, portrait, angle...) anywhere in the registry (WM6.1)?i'm afraid, i don't know a reliable way through registry. There are values such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMo de, but afaik all the values are not available on all devices. Maybe another user can help out?

You can get it via win32:
DEVMODE DeviceMode;

DeviceMode.dmSize = sizeof(DeviceMode);
DeviceMode.dmFields = DM_DISPLAYORIENTATION;

if ( DISP_CHANGE_SUCCESSFUL == ChangeDisplaySettingsEx (
NULL, &DeviceMode, NULL, CDS_TEST, NULL ) )
{
switch ( DeviceMode.dmDisplayOrientation )
{
case DMDO_0: // Portrait mode
case DMDO_180:

case DMDO_90: // landscape mode
case DMDO_270:
break;
}
}You could write a little tool that updates a registry-value depending on this api-call.

[Raulka]

Thanks ikarus!

I only have two question yet:

1. How could I write percentage "%" signal with a theme on the screen? (There is the BSWeather's Humidity note in the registry without "%" symbol, so I want to write % after the chars, but <label text="Humidity: %s%"... not works)

2. In my theme, when I switching between rows and views, sometimes stayed the previous view's background image under the new view (under plugins only!). I can't solve this problem with cachebg and/or animatebg... In some case I see the previous views under animations too, but I want to see only the background ... Maybe this bug is only my Eten's problem?
I use animatebg="0xFF000000" in window and cachebg="1" in tplug item.

[ikarus]

Thanks ikarus!you're welcome :)

use cachebg="0". It should renew the background each time then. Does that work?

Oh yesss! %% works :-) Thanks!!! :D
But cachebg="0" not good..
So I have more Views in a Row and in some View I have a background image.
And if I change Views, sometimes crash the background and mixed them.

Good state:
176419

If cachebg="0" than tplug todaycalendar hide the background and this is a stable wrong state, not change after more minutes...
176420

If cachebg="1" than background mixed and crashed with an other background:
176421
but this last crash stop after a minute. WM6.1 refresh the screen in every minutes? Instantly when the clock seconds change 59 to 00 backgrounds good again in this case!

great :)
what do you mean with "crash"?
Is it the plugin which crash and force a reboot?

No, just background images crashed :-) I think this is memory problem, or maybe the little 4MB pagepool of my device... Because just sometimes appear the problem..

Hi Ikarus,

After using your BS and now Homescreen++ with full satisfaction for almost 2 years, I'm trying to adapt some of the themes to my needs. BTW thanks to all the Themebuilders.
I have this in my XML:

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="\Windows\calendar.exe" >
<image src="calendar%d.png" height="20" width="20" left="5" />
<label text="%d" suppress0="1" width="12" left="1">
<registry key_value="HKCU\System\State\Appointments\Next\Busy Status" />
</label>
</Item>
When I make 1 test appointment for tomorrow, the calendar.png lights up and displays -2-. What am I doing wrong here?
:confused:

[bububang]

i have a problem in using the wordbreak for label text in display MMS. I did try to change the width value to smaller but it still the same. SMS and call display nicely but not MMS. What wrong i did? :confused: Below is my code
<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="DoN" onhold="InboxSMS">
<image src="image\sms-1.png" left="95" top="145"/>
<label text=" %d SMS" width="27" left="107" top="150" bold="1" suppress0="0" format="wordbreak" valign="top" height="30">
<registry key_value="HKCU\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread\Count" />
</label>
</Item>
<!-- MMS -->
<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="DoN" onhold="InboxMMS">
<image src="image\mms-1.png" left="64" top="188"/>
<label text=" %d MMS" left="75" top="195" bold="1" suppress0="0" width="27" format="wordbreak" valign="top" height="30">

Hi, ikarus,
please have s look at nueDynamiClock (www.nuerom.ru).
It seems, the way to control speed for
Qualcom 72XX processors is found. How great
it was if HS++ would have the same functionality.

[YoLoLo]

Could you tell me, which version of HS++ u r using?
Sorry, i was on holidays... Just back from one week and half to Tunisia... Better weather than here ;)

Anyway : The version i run is : 1.06.349 rc3 Build 0349
This is an unregistred copy (but i think this is not yet implemented, isn't it ?)

Let me know if you need more info :cool:

Hello,

I have a (at the moment) simple question: is it possible to turn off the sound when klicking on an icon in traylaunch? I've disabled all sounds in system settings but when I klick on a symbol in this tray, there is a sound.

[smartcard2]

As per the attached screen shot my clock's seconds are not showing properly.

How can I fix it?

Or can I remove the seconds? HH:MM is enough for me.

Tks

Hi Ikarus,

I am using your lovely application for more than 2 years. Since WM 6.5 is available for Prophet I was wondering is there a way to integrate or to show it as a panel in Titanium?

[dionysos77]

I had an issue with program specific over clocking.

I was not possible to add any application that is not running during setting up.

For example I was not able to set frequency to 247Hz for iGo while it is not running, and it was impossible to see frequency settings page while iGo is running.


Is there update for being able to add programs specific frequency profiles while the programs are not running ?

It would be great upgrade to the program; to select programs via "browse" button that allows you to go and select installed programs .exe or .lnk via an file explorer like interface.


Regards

[nypra1314]

The value is 2
UPDATE:
I entered 1 appointment for tomorrow(at 13.00u): it shows 2 on todayscreen and the value in HKCU is 2.
I entered 2 appointments for tomorrow(at 13.00u and at 14.00u): it shows 2 on todayscreen and the value in HKCU is 2???
I entered 3 appointments for tomorrow(at 13.00u, at 14.00u and at 15.00u): it shows 2 on todayscreen and the value in HKCU is 2????
So it keeps showing me 2, weird...:confused:

[mr_deimos]

Hi there. After a loooong while, i got around to creating a new theme for HS++.
It's really amazing to see how much this software evolved since the beginning :)
Anyway, i noticed something that can be considered as a bug: if cleartype is enabled, HS++ renders all labels using it. But the clock (of course i mean class="clock", not "clock_digit") seems to ignore this setting and is rendered without cleartype. Or is it just me?

Also i have a question. I did some research and couldn't find an answer. Is there any way to disable item highlighting? When i have an icon with ontap action set to launch an app and selmode defined as a positive number (enlarging the icon on tap), the effect is spoiled by a grey box drawn around the icon. I know such a selection indication is useful for dpad navigation, but is it really necessary with non-default selmode settings? Disabling it, or at least being able to customize the box transparency so that it's barely visible should be nice. Or is it already implemented and i'm missing something?

And a little idea from me, maybe someone will find it useful.
I've seen that there's a nice tool for theme development - BSreloader. However it seems to be compatible with only notepad, and i use Notepad++ for xml-edition (in fact, i replaced the default windows notepad with notepad++ so i can't conveniently run it even if i wanted to :P). So i came up with an alternate solution that is compatible with any editor (and even any OS as long as you're able to set up filesharing).
It's really very simple. All you have to do is to connect your pda to the local network (i use WiFi) and share the folder containing your theme on the PC in the network. I named the share "HSPP".
Now, on the pda we'll need to create a simple two-line mortscript:

copy("\\<hostname of your computer>\<name of share containing hspp theme>\<name of theme>, "\Program Files\Homescreen PlusPlus\<name of theme>", true)
RedrawToday

This script copies the theme xml file over the network to your device (overwriting the existing file) and reloads Today screen, forcing HS++ to reread the theme. In my case the script looks like this:

copy("\\rafal\HSPP\mytheme.xml, "\Program Files\Homescreen PlusPlus\mytheme.xml", true)
RedrawToday

A note: you might want to verify if you can access the network share before using the script. Total commander, an even the windows file explorer are capable of this, just type in the share address (\\<hostname of your computer>\\<name of share containing hspp theme>) and hit enter. If you have anonymous network access restricted, you might need to log in to the network first (in windows just use your username and password).
Host name can be checked by running "hostname" command in command prompt. There's plenty of information on how to enable file sharing on the net, so i won't get into more details here.
It's probably possible to use this method with activesync as well since it creates an IP connection, but i haven't tried it yet.

My preferred way of working with HS++ is to temporarily bind this script to a hardware button on the pda. Now i save any changes made in Notepad++ (or any other editor), hit the button on the pda and after about two seconds i see the modified theme :D

[Gwadro]

And a little idea from me, maybe someone will find it useful.



copy( "\\rafal\HSPP\mytheme.xml", "\Program Files\Homescreen PlusPlus\mytheme.xml", true)


Thank you! Great idea! Simple but great.

Hi Ikarus,

Would you help me? On my HTC Touch HD (WM 6.1) the class "mobile_operator" doesn't work at all. This means that this class doesn't output neither operator's logo, nor operator's name.

For operator's name I've found workaround - I'm using registry_tracker on the key "HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name".

But I failed to find the registry key which is responsible for mobile_operator_homezone indication. I would appreciate if you give me some clue on which registry key I should use to determine if device is in home network or not.

Thanks, and looking forward for you advise.

[arman68]

I don't like the current trend of resource hungry today homescreens and plugins. I have been happy for a long time using PocketDigitalClock, UltimateLaunch and TodayAgenda. One thing that always bothered me though, was no easy way to see how many unread emails, sms, etc..., on the home screen. So I started looking at a few today plugins, including Homescreen++ - among others - which I remembered from the old BatteryStatus days.

I did a battery usage test, with the phone in flight mode, muted, on the today screen, and no application running apart from the plugin tested and the battery graphing application. Results attached and below:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=210131&stc=1&d=1248871873

1st place: Homescreen++ (2 on the graph). Amazingly, it does not seem to use anymore battery that a completely blank today screen (1 on the graph)!

2nd place: Pocket Digital Clock (3 on the graph). Only slightly more battery usage.

3rd place: RLToday (4 on the graph), with a quite a significant battery usage increase.

4th place: PhoneAlarm (5 on the graph); huge battery consumption, makes me shiver... Brrr....

I hope others find this useful. As for me, no doubt about it, time to redesign my homescreen using HS++; I should even be able to get rid of UltimateLaunch!

Hello !

Just installed the latest version (1.06.350 rc3 - Build 035), and the problem of plugin is still there... Just to keep you informed... I hope your journey to the States is (was ?) good ;)


Hello ikarus, long time without hearing of me, i guess ;)

(remember, i've worked on the 1st French Translation of this soft...)

And, ho, i'm always willing to help for translations if you need a French translator for further enhancements ! :cool:

BatteryStatus Homescreen++ is one of the 1st soft i install on my machine... SOOOOOOO usefull ! :)

Today, i'm coming in front of you to submit a strange bug...

I'm now using the Ver. 1.06.348 rc2, build 0348
I use the call and data monitoring (SmaatoCost was not a good solution...), and no fancy functions like plugs in plug.. I mean, the look and feel of HS++ is very similar to the 'primitive' app... I don't need a launcher or MortScripts (but it is a good thing that a polyvalent tool can do that !)

Well, my problem : When HS++ plug is enabled with call/data monitoring, task manager, small indicators, a little overclock (234Mhz instead of 195Mhz), NO autoscale, NO tray launcher, I CAN'T succeed in uninstalling other apps with a plug-in (enabed or disabled)... The unsinstall just freeze ! I've tested with the standard app and SkTools... No joy...

If i enter the 'Today's' settings to disable a plug or reorder, the exit is frozen, and i must soft reset to achieve the thing (actions are done after the soft reset)

If i disable HomeScreen++, there is a freeze of device, i soft reset, then i CAN unsinstall apps with plug-ins !!!

I will test to install the latest build this evening

Have you ever heard of that ?

My machine is a fresh one (hard reset to try to solve the bug a few weeks ago), and i still run with good old QTEK S200 ! (what a device !)

Thanks in advance for answer

[Trump]

wow just tried to OC my phone to 260 and NOGO with T-Mobile Wing :(

All I have to do is just click Set CPUSpeed and change to 260 right?

It runs fine at 247 i think. Gonna run it for a lil bit. You guys think I should use the CPU scaler? or just keep at 247?

Also what temperatures should I be careful for? Its running 31 degrees right now. I assume thats in Celsius. +201mA battery usage.

I was under the impression Wings could go up much higher? Or is it just luck of the draw?

[jola]

when installing i got a fail massage because unsecssefull uninstall of older version/
i deleted all the folders including registry files and also cleaned with SKtools

Hi,

I have problem with CPU Scaler on my phone. After installation I can't see tab "CPUscaler" and I didn't found how to turn it on. It was the same on my previous Winmo phone (no tab after installation), but after change rom with preinstalled HomeScreen then it was on right place. What I did wrong, where I can activate CPUScaler?

I use HS++ for a long time, and i have a new issue with the new builds. if i use the rotate function of HS++, i can rotate one or twice, and after, my trinity freezes. so i am oblige too use the direct rotscr.exe if i want to rotate my screen.

somebody experiments the same thing?

[YoLoLo]

Well, i've finally gave up, and uninstall BatteryStatus, er HomeScreen++ :eek::( (and guess what ? Nore more freeze, no more unsinstall gremlins...)

I've installed OmapClock & OmapClockPlus for the overclocking, LCMinutes for the monitoring, and Battery/memory meters from ILauncher... But i'm sad of that because HS++ was installed for 3 years on my machine ! SOB ! :o
Anyway, thanks for that soft ! :)

Hi YoLoLo,
i'm sorry for not fixing that issue and i'm glad you found a solution :)

There are a lot of things on the toDo-list, but i decided to re-think the concept and goals of HS++. Just to declare clear goals so as to drive further development towards the designated design and concept.
e.g. qualcomm-cpus became widespread, thus omap-cpu-functions shouldn't be core-part of HS++ and so on..
I also want to change rendering to something generic and opengl-es based and currently i spent time on experimenting with opengl es hehe..

I don't know when there will be a 2.0 version of HS++ and what functions it will actually provide then, because i can't spend that much time on HS++ as compared to when i was a student hehe...
There were too many changes due to the design considerations and it's not enough time to work on the old code-base... so... maybe you are a user of the next release...

Regards,
ikarus

I have the last version of Homescreen plus plus and i have this problem:
when i do a soft reset and the tray icons are activated then my pocket pc crashes(if not the first time i do the soft reset,the second or third definetely!).Then, i'm forced to do a hard reset and load my back up.
Why does this happen?Any solytions?

you can perform six or seven soft-resets to disable HS++ (just check the manual for HS for the procedure).. this way you don't have to hard reset.
It sounds like there is a problem with loading the icon of an application. As far as i can remember, the loading procedure will stop and HS++ gets unload in case of such a situation.. but i'm not absolutely sure about that..

Another reason could be the available virtual memory during boot as well...

Dear ikarus, that's worked, it's amazing.

On startup, it should delay loading of icons from tray apps located on storage card (or reload them later).Did anything ever happen with this?

I have just acquired a Toshiba TG01 running WM6.5. I have used HomeScreen PlusPlus on a number of HTC devices with no problems. On the TG01 those applications in my TrayLaunch list which reside on the storage card do not display their icons. I am therefore left with a number of "default" icons and have to guess which is which!

Any suggestions on how to cure this (other than to load those applications into main memory, rather than storage card, which I would rather not do)?

I can understand what you mean,i have the same problem... :(
I'm afraid that the only solution is to load these applications from main memory.Otherwise,you have to reload again the today screen after startup.
I wish that someone else could give another solution. :)

I use HD2 on my HTC HD2 (Leo). All seems ok, but the Call-Times are allways 0:00:00. SMS-Counter works and settings are all right.

Is this a problem of HS++?

Also CellID not working.

[jaguaralani]

Hi !
The latest version does not support htc LEO, I think bec of the CPU being 1 GH, it causes the device to hang up and I really like seeign the CPU Usage on the task bar !
Any chance of a support or any clues to add the cpu meter alone ?

Thanx

Thanxthe cpu isn't supported yet, thus any incompatible functionality is disabled. I don't know what causes your device to hang up, but i'm using HS++ on my HTC HD2 and everything work without problems.
The cpu-clock-indicator is showing up, but it doesn't show the correct cpu-clock. For unsupported cpus, this indicator shows a static value retrieved from the operating system.
The cpu-usage-indicator is working perfectly..

I had big problems after installing tomtom7, because tomtom7 completely destroyed the bluetooth-functionality on my HD2 and each access to bluetooth (e.g. retrieving status) resulted in a mess, system hangs, not responsive device and so on...
The best is a hard-reset then..
(This was my fault, because Tomtom7 does not support HD2 (yet?).
It was a hard lesson and i'm more than surprised that applications affect the system in such a deep way as tomtom7 does.. furthermore it seems not possible to sell my maps purchased online at tomtom and downloaded with tt-home2 :( )
What i want to say in short hehe... maybe you have some other apps installed that causes that hangs?

So... I have no problems with HS++ on my HD2. I have only HTC touch sense, Secondtoday + HS++ and the default WM-Apps such as Facebook, Twitter, etc...

[devil-77]

...All seems ok, but the Call-Times are allways 0:00:00. SMS-Counter works and settings are all right.


Hello,

i have the same problem on my HD2 with the calltimes-in.
SMS and calltimes-out works perfect but calltimes-in show me 0:00:00.
I set teh counter for calltimes-out 60/60 and for calltimes-in 1/1 but ist not working.
So what is the right setting for the calltimes-out?

[Bib_x]

Hi Ikarus, can you tell me, if Cell-ID is working on your HD2?

Do i only have to enable the Cell-ID in HS++ or do i have to enable this in Windows Mobile, too? In my former Devices there was a menu in "phone", but on my HD2 i can´t find such a Windows Mobile setting.

Thanx alot for ur reply, well ti works on me HD2, n=but the problem is that the CPU indicator is alaways at 100% after installing HS++ ! and you can feel that the device is so slow ( CPU overload ), while after removing HS++ every hting returns back !
I really like HS++ because it shows the cpu ON THE TASK BAR !!

CPU-Usage Indicator works on my HD2 with 1.48 Stock-ROM. But Speed-Indicator (Mhz) not working properly - showing useless information.

Hello,

Thank you

[Bib_x]

I use SecondToday from the same developer.

One screen with Sense and one screen with old-style today-plugins.

Hi Ikarus, can you tell me, if Cell-ID is working on your HD2?

Do i only have to enable the Cell-ID in HS++ or do i have to enable this in Windows Mobile, too? In my former Devices there was a menu in "phone", but on my HD2 i can´t find such a Windows Mobile setting.Hi Bib_x,
what i can tell you now is that you should not use the Cell-ID / CellBroadcast / HomeZone functions on HD2 (Leo).
I haven't understood the issue completely, but that functions causes hangs that device.
My debug-logs show that Leo is able to receive Cell-Broadcast-Messages, but it introduces a lot of incompatibility with the device's software.

In fact, you can enable cell-id or something similar only programmatically and not by means of the phone-settings (afaik).

Hello,

i have the same problem on my HD2 with the calltimes-in.
SMS and calltimes-out works perfect but calltimes-in show me 0:00:00.
I set teh counter for calltimes-out 60/60 and for calltimes-in 1/1 but ist not working.
So what is the right setting for the calltimes-out?do you mean calltimes-out or calltimes-in?
Anyone else having such a problem?

Hello,

i mean calltimes-in-month is not working right on my hd2.

[ikarus]

Hello,

i mean calltimes-in-month is not working right on my hd2.i've just tested incoming calltimes and the counter worked without problems.

What options do you have enabled/ticked exactly?
Do you use a custom theme or the default theme?

[Bib_x]

Hi, i flashed a new ROM to my HD2. Formerly i had a Stock-ROM 1.48. Now i have a cooked ROM with 1.66 and now it seems to work a bit better.

CellID is shown and outgoing calltimes are counted, too.

One question:
Is there option to prevent showing highlight rectangle on itempress(goddamn grey/selection colour)?
I cannot figure out. It was not problem(for last 3 yrs) until i decided to make unusual theme.
This is very, very important thing for me, so any info would be nice.

upd: i have some success with custombg=1 window attribute, but still, selection rectangle is visible(extended to rull row height :E, and that fullrow height highlighting is main problem).
upd2: well, it seems that custombg=-1 AND effect given for item(selmode) together is what i needed.

Hi,
I have 2 issiues

1.
does somebody know if it's possible to use the Lightsensor of the hd2?
I have the idea to use the lightsensor to change the skin like if it's dark there is a white skin and at day there is a black skin.
do you think this is possible?

2.
somebody asked me if it is possible to make a diagram with HS++ like this app

you are missing purpose of hs++, imho.

I mean, if somebody knows a today plugin to do this.

[Flyview]

I'd like to know if it's possible to overclock to a specific number other than the preset values (221, 234, 247, etc).

I'm getting banding on the screen at some speeds that are otherwise stable, and I would have a lot more to play with if I could set anything from 201-202-203...298-299, etc.

Also, if one could skip a clock value during scaling as some speeds aren't stable. For example, 247 will crash the phone right away but it is stable at 286!

Is there any way to get the taskbar indicator to show something besides the battery and CPU load percentage? I already have both of those displayed on my current taskbar setup, but am trying to find a way to get available 'Program Memory' to be up there also. I see it is one of the available indicators of the today plugin itself, just don't see the option to change which indicator gets displayed on the taskbar when you enable that one.

Hello, I notice on my HTC Diamond/ t-mobile Compact IV (Qualcomm 7201A CPU), that TaskBar indicator shows only battery status (why not also CPU load, like I can see on my previous Compact III with OMAP?. Battery/CPU Load will be the best like 75/50).

But bug is, that refreshing battery status is not functional without showing also battery in Indicators (with minimum batery showed only) in Rows. I guess why? TakBar indicator would be enough.

So if there will be possibility to have only TaskBar, when I can see batery status / CPU load - also on CPU, that cannot be overclocked, without needing to show also battery icon in rows, it will be fine.
