[DEV][IDEA] M2D Action Screen Tab - NEED DEVELOPERS HELP

---

Hi people

All you know that we can use Operator tab as second launcher. Also there is an application from HTC called Action Screen. So I have an idea to transform operator tab to Action Screen tab. But I am not a programmer, so need help.



I created cab, test it and leave feedback. All created though the registry. I know it is not comfortable. So maybe one Hero-programmer will realize my idea to complete application??

About cab
Before install please make a backup. Why it is necessary? Because in the cab there is my HTC Homesettings.xml file and I have non-htc device (HP Ipaq 614c), so I don’t know how it will work on your device. Also want to say that I have TouchFLO version 1.0.1818.3719 cooked in ROM

As you can see now it has six icons:

Message (Start new SMS)
Mail (Start new Mail)
Alarm (don’t work (how to create direct shortcut to start new alarm???))
Appointment (New Appointment)
Task (New Task)
Note (New Note)

If you want to change an application to open with, go to registry HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\Operator\2\ and change Path (for example I use G-Alarm to start New Alarm or ThumbCal to start new Appointment and new Task)

Also there are two softkeys: Calendar and Setting. Now don’t work, it is for future. (it can be changed through the registry)


TEST IT AND LEAVE FEEDBACK


PS Sorry for my English ))

great work!

Works great. Thanks. You were right. I had to use my own HomeSettings xml file. After installation TF2D didn't start up.

Another usefull addition to TF2D.

I think you made a backup

Strange grafics you have...

OK lets do so

Edit the HTCHomeSettings.xml as follow:

Find:

<Image index="227" name="\ManilaGFX\hh_fw_focus_background.png" />

Add this below

    <Image index="228" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_MASK.png" />
    <Image index="229" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR.png" />
    <Image index="230" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_PRESS.png" />
    <Image index="231" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_PRESS_MASK.png" />
    <Image index="232" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_SELECTED.png" />
    <Image index="233" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_SELECTED_MASK.png"/>

Find

<OperatorWidget>***</OperatorWidget>

Replace with my code

  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_START_POINT" id="0" value="0, 10" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_Y_INTERVAL" id="1" value="10" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_ROW" id="2" value="3" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_COLUMN" id="3" value="3" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_LASTPROP" id="4" value="0" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNSELECTED_IMGID" id="5" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_SELECTED.png" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPEARTORWG_BTNSELECTED_MASKIMG" id="6" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_SELECTED_MASK.png" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNPRESSED_IMGID" id="7" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_PRESS.png" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNPRESSED_MASKIMG" id="8" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_PRESS_MASK.png" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTN_IMGID" id="9" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR.png" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTN_IMGMASK" id="10" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_MASK.png" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNICON" id="11" value="68" /> 
  <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNTEXT_RECT" id="12" value="3, 90, 80, 77" />

I think it has adapted the graphics from my current theme which is no problem. It complements the rest of the graphics in theme.

This looks promising. I'll give it a try tonight after my son goes to bed. Thanks for the innovation!

Here you go.

 <OperatorWidget>
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_START_POINT" id="0" value="13, 2" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_Y_INTERVAL" id="1" value="0" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_ROW" id="2" value="6" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_COLUMN" id="3" value="3" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_LASTPROP" id="4" value="0" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNSELECTED_IMG" id="5" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_SELECTED.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPEARTORWG_BTNSELECTED_MASKIMG" id="6" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_SELECTED_MASK.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNPRESSED_IMG" id="7" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_PRESS.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNPRESSED_MASKIMG" id="8" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_PRESS_MASK.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTN_IMG" id="9" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTN_IMGMASK" id="10" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_MASK.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNICON_DIMENSION" id="11" value="32" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNTEXT_RECT" id="12" value="-7, 61, 68, 73" />
            <Property name="IDLAUNCHERWG_BTN_LASTPROP" id="13" value="0" />
        </OperatorWidget>

My Image Index ends at 226.

Replace with this

 <OperatorWidget>
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_START_POINT" id="0" value="0, 10" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_Y_INTERVAL" id="1" value="10" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_ROW" id="2" value="3" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_COLUMN" id="3" value="3" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_LASTPROP" id="4" value="0" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNSELECTED_IMG" id="5" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_SELECTED.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPEARTORWG_BTNSELECTED_MASKIMG" id="6" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_SELECTED_MASK.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNPRESSED_IMG" id="7" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_PRESS.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNPRESSED_MASKIMG" id="8" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_PRESS_MASK.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTN_IMG" id="9" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTN_IMGMASK" id="10" value="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_MASK.png" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNICON_DIMENSION" id="11" value="68" />
            <Property name="IDOPERATORWG_BTNTEXT_RECT" id="12" value="3, 90, 80, 77" />
            <Property name="IDLAUNCHERWG_BTN_LASTPROP" id="13" value="0" />
</OperatorWidget>

After 226 image add below

    <Image index="227" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_MASK.png" />
    <Image index="228" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR.png" />
    <Image index="229" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_PRESS.png" />
    <Image index="230" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_PRESS_MASK.png" />
    <Image index="231" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_SELECTED.png" />
    <Image index="232" name="HH_LAUNCHER_BTN_OPR_SELECTED_MASK.png" />

Let me know if it works

I bet it should work what you are implying, but i like it this way.

Request... could you add a toggle for wifi, bluetooth and phone sound/vibrate? That would be very nice.
