Power bar on today screen?

I feel kind of silly here. I did a search on the forum, and didn't find much.
I want to be able to look at my phone and see how much power is left. Right now I have to go Start-->Settings-->System-->Power.
Ridiculous!
Am I missing something?

You will need to install some plugin on the today screen to get the feature you are looking for. I personally use PowerCheck version 3.5, which is freeware and allows you to monitor both the battery and memory state.
I have attached a a CAB file with PowerCheck. Just copy it to you device execute it there to install.

dont install this program. i did and I have to hardreset my XDAIIs

Is this a general issue with the Blue Angel (or what device do you have xcalibur)?
Honestly, I have been running this plugin for more than a month on my Magician. It hasn't caused me any problems at all - not even something that required a soft reset. I find it strange that it should cause problems on the Blue Angel but not on the Magician given that they both run Windows Mobile 2003 SE PE. Moreover, this plugin has received almost purely positive reviews on several ppc freeware sites.
I'm sorry xcalibur, but I have ask: could it be that your hard reset was caused by something else than this plugin - or perhaps by a bug in some other software that doesn't work if this plugin is installed?

I have an O2 XDAIIs with ROM Version 1.12.62WWE. ROM DATE 10/4/04.

Try SPBPocketPlus http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/
You can create today shortcuts and put a small block style powerbar across the very top edge of the screen.
Loads of other features as well including the option to make the X button really close apps rather than just minimze them.
Completely customisable as well

anyway, thanks.

Hi!
I remember when i load the O2 Uk ROM there was this battery bar in the today screen, any know what program they use?
I hope if possible it can be extract from the O2 UK extend ROM, i just need to know which file?
I have recently upgrade to the iMate Arabic 1.31 ROM so lost the O2 features.

Try this one: TodaysInfo
Hi
Try this on: TodaysInfo. I'm using it on SPV M1000 & M2000 and it works fine with direct access to memory and bat.
There is one TodayScreen add-in where this one will disappeare but I don't know which one. Un/reinstall it and it's back.
:?
Cheere, AG

Hi! Ag,
Thanks very much, appreciate your help. I have search the net for this today battery plugin but the one im looking for was like in O2 UK XDA IIs.
Cheers,
Alvin

I'd recommend Magic Button 1.8. It's supposed to give you control of running programs, but also incorporates a powermeter, as seen in the top right corner.

It's freeware and can be downloaded here http://www.trancreative.com/mb.aspx
Try It :wink:

Try this one out
This is the smallest and nicest I've ever seen. You can also choose the position on the top bar.
No installation required, just copy it wherever you want and execute (\windows\startup is a good place).
Tapping on it you will have immediately all your bat and mem information at a glance.
Cheers.

hello
i am very much happy to get this file from u..really nice ****GOOD WORK*
Thanks alot

spb pocket plus makes the blueangel slow. I heard this from some other users.
magic button is fine but sometimes creates prob.
If you guys talking about yishin powercheck then I do have that on my blueangel for months now and not got any problem with it. I also have from the same worldtoday and tdlauch from the same place. These all are free apps and tdlaunch gives u the ability of have shortcuts on today screen.

GS Battery Meter
Hi all,
I use GS battery bar.It works in 25% sections,
Attached file for download......................

Hi all,
This is what i use to check bat. and mem.
hope this is what you are looking for.

Forgive the (perhaps) simple question: I tried battery_OU. Now I'd like to uninstall, but don't see it anywhere where I can remove, either on my xv6600woc or in ActiveSync or anywhere else for that matter. Any helps or hints, please? Thank you.

hi,
this file don't has uninstall option but you can uninstall it manually,
1- go on your pocket pc to windows folder you will find a file called bettery.exe,,, delete it
2- now most important you have to edit the registry because the phone will be looking for battery file every time you reset it and it will give an error because you deleted it , now using any reg edit software go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init
"Launch250"="\windows\battery.exe" <= delete this key.
that should work.
please make first a backup for your pocket pc, you may need it in case something wrong happened.
Regards.

'Uninstalling' battery_OU
Thanks for the reply; appreciate it. After I posted here, I started looking at files w/in the CAB & found the reg entry. I also thought it's _250 init meant that the corresponding pgm would get started in the order implied (basically about last if I remember correctly). Reminded me a little about the root pcs start sequence dependencies in Unix. So I removed the reg entry, restarted & the upper right icon disappeared. Then I was comfortable w/deleting the windows\battery.exe.
Rebooting, that-all looked fine. So then I thought I'd wait for your reply, to see what else I might have missed, then reply back.
Again, thanks for your reply. I think whoever built the CAB didn't build the corresponding uninstall; kind of 'hacky' to me, but, no harm.
FWIW, I'm using the kbattery executable that 'dave' posted in his post dtd Thu Mar 10, 2005 12:20. Small, works fine, can place in the Start where I want. Shows primary battery strength, which is what I'm mostly looking for most-all the time. Can click it to get more info if I want too (although it shows more detail about memory only).

I like the idea of the program, but...
I have downloaded the program and does not start under WinXP ("not a valid Win32 program'); same thing happens when I put it on my Hermes ("not a valid PPC program").
Too bad, I wanted to try it. Cheers!

Looks interesting...
Can you give a bit more detail about the security implementation side of this? Is it a direct replacement for the default password LAP? (does the installer overwrite lap_pw.dll?). Does it support master key protection?
Thanks

I am not chasing the gift, abienguyen. I just wanted to see what this program can offer. So far so good, no problems seen.
Is there any way to customize the clock, skins, icons that are shown, the way the date and time are displayed, or other?

hi people
just found something i consider a bug
when setting up your password you are able create numeric password and later when you lock the device you can type it by using onscreen digits,right
but,you are also able to use "y","u","i","h","j","k","n","m","." and when you lock the device you can't type these letters by onscreen digits
so if time runs out and the device locks you won't be able to unlock it,just say goodbye and HR it
fortunately i didn't lock my device,i figured it out before i could even do it

This also happens in system lock. I experienced same situation using characters instead of numeric for my password. Hard reset needed afterward.

well igate won't HR,you will,because if device is totaly locked,it's unuseable
tried it on CRC's V11 rom,and when i got keyboard to type the pass,i tried tapping the letters too (as you needed a tester) and i managed to type those letters from above, not all others...you know the rest of the story
now i tried it on CRC's V12 and i still can type same letters
furthermore i tried every other symbol and there were no problems (i couldn't type them,so it's as it should be)
i'm about to flash PDAcorner ROM V12 and then try it out,i'll keep you informed
PS i forgot to mention "b" in that list

Have you disabled system password before installing iGate? and have you use iGate setting to change the password??
We still cannot imagine how you can active the Alphabet keyboard.
Anyway we will try to findout what is the problem with your case.
Best,

Sorry if I am wrong abienguyen, but this looks to me like free advertising for a commercial product.
You're passive to a ban from me. If you don't want this to happen, you could post your beta request in the General Discussion forum and not cross post throughout the whole xda-developers forum like you did..
I'll close all your threads for further discussions.

WM 6.5 app to show where the screen is tapped?

I myself am not a programmer, but I do have a good idea for anyone that has some free time.
If someone could make an app that when the touch screen is tapped/pressed it makes a ripple or dot or some sort of signal of where the screen is tapped.
I've seen this in Microsoft PowerPoint slide shows...
Whenever i attempt to press a button and i am not hitting it i would like to know where i am actually pressing so i can adjust.
If this already exists please point me in the right direction.
Thanks

I wanna know where im tapping the screen, ive now also seen screen shots where people have an arrow cursor, that would also be pretty handy if anyone knows how to get that

so basically like Windows Vista's water ripple on Tablet PC

yes exactly

i'm kinda suprised it's not out there already. the palm pre has it and it's a nice feature. kinda reassuring. lets hope someone can pull it together...

yea i would see it as a staple in touch screen devices, but maybe it takes too much memory or it gets in the way? im not sure but i know i would definitely use it

I am all for this as well, it would be really nice to have.

That would be nice.

So if when u click on the screen it takes a screenshot and then does a ripple on that image...

- You can now add your own background picture, just place bg.jpg in this folder:
> For WM6 (not sure about WM5) the folder is /Application Data/Volatile/FlashRipple4
> For WM2003 the folder is /temp/FlashRipple4
If for some reason this is not the folder, run it once and search for a folder called FlashRipple4 with your Explorer application.
As always, sourcecode and EXE included in the zip, I also included a background image for testing.

So i don't know how this app exits, but if it could output the coordinates to the registry or a return argument i could at least click on the today screen with them in Mortscript.
I assume BBonz is already half done with the app anyways...

I've been trying to figure out if this is possible from a coding perspective... It seems that (at least with the .net compact framework) that there's no way to hook screen taps. A program like this would actually have to be a driver for the touch panel. The most similar thing anyone has done is TouchResponse. Unfortunately, the author hasn't been online since November...so I can't ask for details on how it was done.
If anyone can help figure out how to create a program, service or driver that can globally hook screen taps and return coordinates...I can probably write this.

Hi xawen,
"If anyone can help figure out how to create a program, service or driver that can globally hook screen taps and return coordinates...I can probably write this."
You can hook all touch events via the PenTrac.dll approach. Have a look at Scilors Multitouch DLL thread. There I explained the approach and posted the sourcecode...

hm, but this is only an approach for the HD2's touch.dll. Not for all Win 6.5 smartphones...

HD2 is good enough for me
no but seriously, tried doing some (very little) research but came up with nothing

[CAB] launch android from yer start menu

this is my first working cab and im so proud of it. this puts an icon in your start menu so you can easily boot to android without having to navigate file explorer. this is also uninstallable, if you decide you dont like it go to settings > system > remove programs.
i did check with google and you are allowed to use the android robot so this is legal. all i have to do is write this:

Nice icon, my .cabs do this automatically as well. This would be useful for people installing a .rar tho that still want an icon.
Edit: I linked your post for people who still want to use the .rar and have a start icon. I also made a XDAndroid icon for the start menu if you want to use it, although the original icon isn't bad either.

i didnt know that. i installed from your cab and it never gave me the icon so i figured i had to make my own. this does also install on any device. i got it on my fuze.

I've added this to the wiki.

By the way mine only shows the HaRET icon ... but it is in the start menu. I am using a 6.5 ROM if that helps
edit: icon shows after soft reset

I've added a link on my page to this cab where the .rar package instructions are. Just in case someone doesn't want to use the .cab, but still wants the shortcut. I also made a new icon for my XDAndroid cabs if you would like to use it also I can send it to you.

thats cool. im sure alot of people appreciate that.

i finally installed the newest version of android and haret is in a different place now. if you have something like total commander you can fix the shortcut under its properties. ill upgrade the cab soon for people who want this more stock icon.

Not to rain on the parade (because hard work is always appreciated) but, isnt this the same thing as dualboot from yozgatg? You can use the icon created in start menu on his project to boot straight into android also, with out resetting. Although, I think he's going to be updating dualboot since the path has changed for the install, which you've already noticed Nonetheless, thanks for the contribution.

Sometimes that dual boot app is nothing more than a pain in the ass. Seems more streamlined with just its own icon. I have an icon i install from my .cabs as well. Don't use dual boot anymore.

If I wasn't constantly flashing my phone, id probably stick with the dual boot, but for me eventually it just got monotonous. I may even go back to it once android is more complete, but for now I just went back to the simple things in life.
lol
Also, these guys need to change the registry (unless you know how personally) to look for the "andboot" folder, instead of "android". Nothing major really.

You make a good point. Since I don't use it everyday, I don't ever really need to boot straight into it. I just run it to show off or mess around with it for a little bit. I dont know how to change the registry, but I know the shortcut for this app can be manually changed to look for andboot as mentioned above. i think that's what you were talking about right?
Oh, I think you were talking about dualboot. Yozgatg is actually updating it today so you can set where haret.exe is located to boot from.

Hehe, great minds think alike Here's one I made a while back:
bedoig said:
I was sick of haret uglying up my start menu, so I used reshacker to swap the icon with one of my own making. Figured I'd share in case anybody else is interested.
The exe now contains 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 icons, so it should look pretty good on most devices. Just extract haret.zip to your storage card, replacing the existing executable.
For WM6.5 users, I created a cab that will also install a 90x90 png along with a start menu shorcut and the appropriate registry entries.

Great icon
Thanks for this icon, it really works well for the .rar file in Reefer's thread.

help please for HARET ICON
hi all thanks for great job ,
I installed the Cab from haret icon ,but the icon figure in the sd card
so please how to puted in the start menu as in the picture
I have the 6.5 ROM.
Thanks in advance

This is great because I flash ROM's just about every day and lose my shortcut.
Thanks!

Windows Phone 7 Final RTW Build 7003 Unlocked Emulator

Here's the updated emulator build (thanks to pirozhki for unlocking it). There's no options to add data sources to sync/connect with. Now that we have the final build, hopefully we can get it working better than some of the beta builds.

To run it, just like the previous ones...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft XDE\1.0\XDE.exe" "C:\Users\YOU\Desktop\WM70C1.en-US.unlocked.bin" /VMID {E575DA31-FC47-4766-853F-018D823B9EE6}
Or you can place the file in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Emulation\Images" with the name "WM70C1.en-US.bin" and debug with visual studio and it will launch. I believe this still does NOT work with https connections which is probably causing lots of things to not work. Hopefully we can get that figured out so we have a fully working build.
So here's the download!
-----------------original post---------------------------------
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_.../windows-phone-developer-tools-are-final.aspx
I believe the emulator is still 'locked'. Anyone want to get crackin on fixing that? Here's the instructions I wrote up a while back for the previous build. I doubt they changed anything. I'll work on it when I get home from work if noone beats me to it

I believe the emulator is still 'locked'. Anyone want to get crackin on fixing that? Here's the instructions I wrote up a while back for the previous build. I doubt they changed anything. I'll work on it when I get home from work if noone beats me to it

anyone unlock?

No-one unlocked this yet...

Barring any unforeseen issues, it'll be done in a few hours. Hold tight.

Any chance you could enable the task manager ans shortcuts while you're at it? Will save me having to redo the unlock when I get back to the office.

uploading my unlocked image right now.

RustyGrom,
Thanks a bunch for doing this!
A couple of comments from a developer who's intensively used the unlocked ROM for the last couple of months:
1. The "Task Manager" and "Shourtcuts" (File System Explorer) programs were missing from the last unlocked ROM. Any chance we can have those back?
I've got samples of how those apps looked like in the original unlocked rom @
justinangel.net/WindowsPhone7UnlockedRoms
2. HTTPs was disabled on the last unlocked ROM, which makes using this ROM for development of real world apps pretty hard. See more on this issue @
imaginativeuniversal.com/blog/post/2010/08/01/WP7-Tip-done28099t-use-the-unlocked-ROM-for-development.aspx
3. If you can ship a dump of the ROM as well as the unlocked eumator - that'll be awesome.
Again, thanks a bunch for doing this. You're definitely contributing to WP7 development efforts.

This ought to do the trick. Add Account and whatnot is still broken though =/
pirocast.net/WM70C1.en-US.unlocked.bin
edit: sorry, board won't let me link it straight-up since i've never posted before. copy/paste the url to get it. scan it with an AV if you're paranoid. enjoy =)

Thanks, downloading

Never mind i figured it out

1. I plan on trying to get those back. I don't think it would be too hard. Just need to find the binaries and figure out how to get them into the BIN (I've never added files but it shouldn't be too bad).
2. This one is super tricky. I did some testing on it and once you made ANY sort of material change, it stopped working. It was EXTREMELY annoying. It's almost as if they have some sort of checksum action going on that nukes the certificate checking if you mod the OS.
3. Will do.
It just frustrates me that Microsoft won't release it this way. CLearly if we can unlock it, so can they. They're just making the gap between the "haves" (those with devices) and the "have nots" that much wider.

Tried playing a youtube video just for fun and it asked if i wanted to download the app for it from the marketplace. Said yes but the marketplace doesnt connect.
It really stinks they dont allow you to add accounts.

Ring Tones
Can one of you fine developers extract the ring tones and tones for sms, email etc???

I hope you don't mind, I updated the first post (and changed the thread title) to reflect the new unlocked build. I was also going to upload it to multiupload so your site doesn't get nuked and update the link in the OP to that. Let me know if you have any objections.

If nobody else does first, I can take care of this next time I'm at my work system (~tomorrow morning). Was kinda thinking of popping a few of them onto my touch pro.

Here ya go. All the ring tones, alerts, and other random sounds. The ring tones have changed a good bit from the previous build.

It's possible to make Microsoft XDA only like the last build?
Thanks
