Install the CAB file from your device like other program. It put icon to start menu.
===============
Windows Mobile 6.5
===============
If you use WM6.5 you can change right soft key for myAction (tested on WM6.5 emulator). If you run myAction first time you will be ask about it.

http://www.8080.pl/images/stories/myaction/myaction3.png

If you prefere do it later you need modify two value: SK2URL and SK2TEXT:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock]
SK2URL=\pathToMyAction\myAction.exe
SK2TEXT=myAction

You must restart WM after you change it.

When you start myAction program you can customize it by tap on white plus sign. It change color, will be red, and then you can tap on any icon.

===================
CUSTOMIZE BY REGISTRY
===================
You can customize it by using registry. All you can find there:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\myAction]

You can edit it and sometimes it is fastest method.

If you like icons like on first in first threat you can use example files.

After unpack zip file you must import reg file and put icons to \program files\myAction\pic folder. Of course you can edit reg file or icons to customize myAction.

FAQ

[scottspa74]

Man, this is beautiful, really nice. A few questions:
1) Do you believe it would/should work on CDMA devices?
2) I know you say 'Recommended' install to device memory, but I have always installed all my programs to Internal Storage (even things like PSshutXP, fredsTaskManager, DiamondTweak -all are programs that are connected to the functioning of the device-) and have always had success (I hate to use precious device storage space). So, any chance it would work if installed to Internal Storage? Have you tried?

3) Can a user change the order of icons on myAction?
4) Is it possible to have the Start menu/icon as one of the icons?
5) A Readme?

Thanks, and this looks AWESOME! GREAT WORK!

doesnt seem to like going to the next page.

every time i hit the next button it crashes out and throws an exception.

[noiserobert]

@scottspa74
1. I do not know what do you mean because I do not know CDMA :(
2. It is only recommended. It should word from Internal Storage but I think wifi on/off do not word in this version if you put to IS.
3. No in this version. In next version will be possibe change all icons (look and order) and programs in myAction. As I wrote in first post I wrote this programme for myself usage and functions are sufficient for me. If you like this software and wish more universal function for example customization please donate me using PayPal. Sorry but it take a lot of time because I am not programmer :( Remember that part your donates will be given on at foundation ill children.
4. I think it easier put start menu before run myAction.
5. Good idea.

@MysticGenius
It try run: \Program Files\myAction2\myAction.exe
If you can run it you should manually create myAction2 folder and copy myAction.exe to this. It is rather feature function.

[noiserobert]

maybe in next 1-2 weeks will be next version :)

How is this different from iPhone Today?

[MCChang]

looks great, can't wait! :D

RAM Sweeep (extra 'e')
Exachange (as opposed to Exchange)

[noiserobert]

How is this different from iPhone Today?

It is not "today". Only action screen - luncher - it work like normal program. But it look similar iPhone Today.

This is now only VGA version.

[noiserobert]

If you need to run klaxon you must put it \Program Files\Klaxon\Klaxon.exe first. See 2nd post in this thread.

[fysiootje]

Looks great. To bad it doesn't work. I get the fatal exeption on every button. There should be a possibility to add and delete shortcuts. Is there?

[noiserobert]

if you need that shortcut run someting you must have application in special folders - look post nr 2.
Sorry but possibility configuration will be in next version.
In this moment is CTP ;)

[chchew]

I got this message every time I click on each button:

"An unexpected error has occurred in myAction.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information."

Does anyone know how to solve this?? Thx :)

I've been very interested in your project. Eager to try. Can't seem to get anything to download off DL site. Hope it gets working. (after i clicked to dl, it just opened a page full of code.

[noiserobert]

could you try using Internet Explorer 8. I try and work http://myaction.8080.pl/download.html
I see that number dowload increas all time.

Right-clicking and save as seems to work. (Says it's a text file, but downloaded a CAB). Not tried it as I realised that I have a QVGA device and I'm not sure that it will work. Anyone tried?

[noiserobert]

I am sorry for this but this version not work with QVGA.
It work with bigger resolution but not in all screen.

Thsnks, but I can't right-click, I don't have a computer. All my downloads and 'computing' are done by Diamond. I see the download counter increases. It increased after my 'download', but It downloaded nothing.

Could someone please upload cab here?

@ myAction Devs - your work looks great!a Thank you. I look forward to successful download

[noiserobert]

I send to you as private message. If sombody have a problem please send me private message.

Sorry for this.

Thanks. I've been experimenting with different interfaces of late as I'm reluctant to flash my ROM, which seems to be the only way to change my cube faces (nothing I've tried will alter the mediaminihub.exe). Currently using ThrottleLauncher + Red Storm, which is rather cool, but your app looks rather nice. Maybe when i upgrade my device...

Doh! Didn't think of that! :o

[MCChang]

Just installed it. Looks great, and works like a charm. Great job, and a big thanks to noiserobert! :D:D

[Olivierz2]

Beautiful design !
Customization does not seem to work : clicking on the buttons produces an error signal (phone vibrates on my setup) and does not open the customiztion window.
Only way is to edit the registry ?
The about screen says v1 (not 1.01) : is it normal ? do I have the last version ?
(I downloaded it from your site though)

[poek]

In a few days we'll publish new wersion.

[lyubo]

Will there be an option to extract the icon out of the exe file of a program?

Great! Can't wait for the new release then :)

[BigDedx3]

BigDed

[ezzie]

[poek]

I think in 2-3 days we publish new version (latest tests in progress)

[noiserobert]

you can downlaod v2.0 WVGA and v2.0 VGA from http://www.8080.pl/download.html

we wait for your feedback and donations because it will special reqest from you. We have not WVGA device.
It have a lot of new features!! Extract pictures from exe and program name - user friendly and easy!

[scottspa74]

(Found answer on 1st page, sorry. Mods delete this post if you would, thank you)

So, are you saying this new 2.0 for VGA has the function to extract icons from .exe files? Or saying wait til after donations?

[poek]

Both versions VGA and WVGA (v 2.0) has extract icon from exe function working.

[noiserobert]

I try change PAYPAL to English language becasuse it is Polish.
It will be easier for you

[AaronJoYee]

I like this software and i am willing to donate but it feels a little slow. To open MyAction takes about 3-4 seconds everytime i want to load something. I am currently using a Diamond2.

Is there a lighter version? I do not need so so so many icon. To me, it is a little overkill.

[noiserobert]

In this moment it is very little program. It is rather reason because we write it in Visual Studio and .NET environment is slow :(
But we will be think about this. And give you answer about it.

[poek]

.NET is slow so myaction is starting slowly...unfortunatly...
If you don't need so many icon, we'll think to make light version for you. Donate and send email to noise or to me.

[noiserobert]

if you donate please send email how many buttons you need and what version (VGA/WVGA).

[character]

any chance for a qvga? i have an old phone:(

[noiserobert]

:( Sorry but we write it generally for ourself and we have not VGA... we can create it only for donate

[wong1981]

Can you also adjust the size of the icons??

[noiserobert]

Can you also adjust the size of the icons??

exactly what?

[dXsL]

potentionally a great app! A shame though about the random "we want your money" pop-up screens...
I don't mind donating, but to be forced to donate is not so nice.
made me delete it right away, without even getting to the bottom of what it probably can do :(

[jolas]

Could we have a WVGA version with configurable number of buttons?

[noiserobert]

Could we have a WVGA version with configurable number of buttons?

No. I is constant but is more thern VGA and of course you can modyfi programs in myAction

same here.

[Kellicros]

just make this a shareware if you wanna make money out of this, describing this as a freeware is just wrong.
anyone knows of a similar app without the nag? thanks.
