[APP] [12-06] ★ ★ ★ Manila 2.5 HomeScreenJump 2.0 update ★ ★ ★

Hi guys,

I was watching a Youtube video showing up the new HTC Wildfire with an awesome feature, pressing an hardware key you have access to an homescreen from where you can run the widget you desire.

So I´ve decided to create a small app for our Rhodium:

Name: HomeScreenJump for TouchPro 2
Version: 2.0
Author: dotcompt
Requirements: .NET CF 3.5

Description: HomeScreen from where you can jump to the Manila Tab you want.
Tabs available: Home, People, Messages, Mail, Weather, Twitter, Music, Photos&Videos, Call History, eReader, Documents, GPS Tracker, Settings, Calendar, Internet, Manila TV, Stocks, Footprints, Facebook and Programs Tabs.

Reviews:
Pocketnow
WMExperts

Screenshoots:

Change Log 12-06-2010:

  • One Cab Installer.
  • Fullscreen view (no more WM6.5 buttons).
  • Visual enhancements and animations.
  • Favorite wallpaper crash fixed.
  • Readme file added to install folder

Change Log 07-06-2010:

  • 3x3 grid with 9 Tab links
  • 20 Manila Tabs available now
  • Wallpaper changer easy to skin
  • Favorite wallpaper - you need to copy your favorite wallpaper to \Program Files\HomeScreenJump\Wallpapers with the name "favorite.jpg"
  • Option to choose which tabs to show


Instructions steps:

1. Remove previous cabs (HSJ Basefiles.cab & HomeScreenJump.cab), and delete \Program Files\Homescreenjump folder in your device
2. Install the "HomeScreenJump.cab" in attach (device)

_________________________________

To Do:
  1. Browse device for pictures
  2. Live or last-visit based preview
  3. Slide Panel with more shortcuts (canceled)

Enjoy it.

hey men,

this app sounds pretty cool. i try to install it on my hd2, but there are some bugs or features I don't need :) . First the programm needs a additional *.cap which is called "netcfv35.messages.de.wm.cab" . I try to start the programm again and now it says can't find the file "disire.jpg" . I know why the programm say this. In the german os the filestructure of the os is different. I hope you can fix it. I'm really interested on this programm.


greetings

no :) . I installed the programm first. I started it and then I saw there is a second file in the attachment.

Should I remove both files and install those again?

Ein Teil des Pfades "\Program Files\HomeScreenJump\Wallpapers\Desire.jpg" konnte nicht gefunden werden.

bei System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str)
bei System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean useAsync, String msgPath)
bei System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access)
bei System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(String filename)
bei HSJump.Form1.TextBox1_TextChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e)
bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnTextChanged(EventArgs e)
bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.WnProc(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)
bei System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)
bei Microsoft.AGL.Forms.WL.SetText(IntPtr hwnThis, String rgwch, Int32 cch)
bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Text(String value)
bei HSJump.Form1.Form1_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
bei System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
bei System.Windows.Forms.Form._SetVisibleNotify(Boolean fVis)
bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Visible(Boolean value)
bei System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form fm)
bei HSJump.Form1.Main()

Now I reinstalled it and did a softreset. Maybe you can get some new information about the error in the logfile.

just a suggestion, this sounds great, havent tried it yet.
would you consider implimenting a multi touch method for accessing it, like the evo?

Hey,

I have one question, i remember another 'homescreenjump' application by dotcompt, but it was for a touch pro 2 only. Is this version of the homescreenjump for every htc with sense 2.5? I dont want to hardreset and stuff again =p would be the 4th time this week by circumstances.
by the way, can i run it by pressing a hardware button? like holding startbutton or something?
thanks in advance ^^

Slightly off-topic sorry, but where did you find the program tab for manila 2.5? I can't find one for WVGA. Looking forward to testing this on my HS2 soon.
