BatteryStatus-Plugin, DeviceLock and Overclock for XDA Neo

[ikarus]

This is HomeScreen ++ UI Edition:

it's a fully customizeable today-plugin, which shows the remaining batteryload of the main battery... In addition to that, it can invoke the DeviceLock on wakeup of the device and overclock the omap cpu to a customizeable cpuclock.

WARNING. Use the latter one at your own risk ! It CAN damage your device !



The project site is HomeScreen PlusPlus
and you can download it with this link -> HomeScreen PlusPlus Download

If you have any questions / problems, then Please read the manual / faq at first !!!

If you have a problem with BatteryStatus then the community can help you in case you supply your settings by:
- Export your settings by options->Advanced->Save/Export
- check the reg-file and remove your personal data
- attach the reg-file to your report


Cheers,
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


- fixed: changing of language-translation for "Remain:"
- fixed: taskmanager for WVGA


- fixed: selection of Items
- fixed: crash while theme reloading (UPDATE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)


- fixed: relative path for StartApp


- added: allow arbitrary string-size for registry-tracker
- changed: allow length of operator name up to 20
- added: for class="start_app", allow relative paths for loading icons
- added: order="1" (attribute for View-Tags, 0 = left to right, 1 = right to left)
to use right-to-left (order="1") check-order for finding the best matching Item on tap-action.
order="0" is default
order="1" allows the following item-placements:






- added: switching up to 5 Views simultaneously (using index/index_1/../index_5 respectively subindex)
- added: ontap="Message" (Send a message to a window),
param: path-attribute has the windows' class name
param: title-attribute has the windows' title (Optional)
param: msg-attribute has the numeric window message
param: index-attribute has the numeric wParam
param: subindex-attribute has the numeric lParam (Optional)

e.g. ontap="Message" path="HHTaskBar" msg="1156" index="2" (Send msg=1156 to Taskbar-Window with wParam=2 - Set Vibra Mode)
ontap="Message" path="HHTaskBar" msg="1156" index="0" (Set Normal Sound Mode)
ontap="Message" path="HHTaskBar" msg="1156" index="3" (Set Silent Mode)



- changed: do nothing on tap of empty area (area with no Item beneath)

- added: log missed calls to CallTimes.xml
- removed: default startapp of mobile operator (starting of commanager)
- fixed: Allow up to 255 Views and up to 255 Rows
- fixed: Update Region for selmode="x"
- added: attribute (in View-Tag) for extending "Reach"/"UpdateRegion" of a View, e.g. extend="6" for 6 pixels.
This is particularly for sliding Views that have Items which are oversized if selected,
that is they overlap with adjacent Views.
Don't extend a View if it's not needed, because it could reduce render performance


- added: gesture-attribute (can be 0 or 1) for Window/Row/View-Tags
- added: AppToDate-support (http://www.modaco.com/content/apptod...-applications/)


- changed: animatebg="0xFF000000" for using todayscreen-background
- added: actiontype for toggling flight mode, ontap="ToggleFlight"

- added: first working version of View-Switching for up to 3 Views, View0 (index/subindex), View1 (index_1/subindex_1), View2 (index_2/subindex_2)
--> e.g. <Item .. ontap="View" index="0" subindex="1" index_1="1" subindex_1="1" index_2="2" subindex_2="1" >
- added: actiontype for "Do Nothing", ontap="DoN" or ontap="DoNothing"

- added: registry-value DWORD TempMultiply; e.g. 1100 results in multiply with 1.1

- changed: Name of Plugin changed to "HomeScreen PlusPlus UI"

- added: awareness of unicode-sms

- changed: DWORD TaskBarBattery under BS-RegistryKey for showing Batterylevel instead of CpuSpeed

- added: data-counter support for HTC Diamond

- recommended editor: Komodo Edit


Updated AppLauncher.exe to use sliding --> AppLauncher.exe

--> (XML) Example for AppLauncher.xml


- added: for TaskManager of BS - DWORD CloseButtonWidth ( create this registry-value and set it to 60 will span the [x]-button over the clock for a finger friendly handling )

i have an ut starcom x-v6700 and it orks great. thank you . the only issue i had was when i installed it my backlifght immeditely goes out and i have to go to settings to make the backlight meter at 100%. also i dont think it matters much but the only theing that shows up on the line is the battery icon not the mhz. Thanks again

[ikarus]

Thanks a lot !

i think your device has Intel's PXA 270 XScale processor build in. The overclocking features of BatteryStatus only affect the hardware registers of texas instruments's omap850 processor.
But its a good idea to show the cpu-speed of any cpu...
Wait for the next release ...

[Update] See version 0.02.200 - added always show cpu speed - testing state

works great on a Dopod 818 Pro!

what's the little \/ arrow to the left of the battery meter in the taskbar btw? (would be great if it was task manager )

[ikarus]

you mean the right of the batterymeter ?
indeed its a taskmanager. Its vBar 2.2
Works great on my XDA Neo

[subliminal]

awesome - two new things for my phone now

[cizake]

One of the best add-on.

Thanks!!

Perfect plugin. But when i turn of the battery in options the hole plugin is not shown on my homescreen. And couldt you please make an option that shows the mobile operator instat of battery load. that wouldt be realy cool.

[ikarus]

yes, the plugin should disappear when the batteryload is unchecked. (Its not a bug, ) Its a feature, because its a batterystatus-plugin by design

If enough users report the current options to be stable, i can add more features. The mobile operator is a good idea for the next releases.

[sebi112]

It works pretty good
