This is my first contribution here. Hope someone find it useful.
WHAT IS IT
It's a 18 buttons action screen for the Touch HD, in the following of some 12 buttons versions already available, but with some twists.
HOW DOES IT LOOK LIKE
See the attached screenshot.
HOW TO INSTALL
You'll need to have MortScript installed, you can get it here. Tests were made with version 4.2.
You may need .NET Compact Framework 3.5, but I'm not sure. Anyway installing it is a good idea, you can get it here.
After that, just download and install the attached CAB.
The installation follow the rules and everything should be installed properly independent of you ROM language.
All the files will go into their own folder: \Windows\ActionScreen.
HOW TO USE
You can just press the right selection key. There will be also a configuration icon in Programs.
As for what each icon does, I'll let it up to you to figure that out!
HOW TO CUSTOMIZE
To change the images you need to replace the installed .brn files. Search these forums for details.
To change the links (say you want to use iGO instead of Google Maps, for example) you'll need to edit the registry.
Open HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_0-17. Each number corresponds to a button.
Change Path to point to your desired application.
If needed change Param to pass parameters to the application.
To translate you'll need to edit a registry key and a file.
To translate the right selection key text, open HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and change the text in HomeRSKText to anything you like.
To translate the confirmation message before a restart, open the Restart.mscr file and change the text in the first two lines.
VERSION HISTORY
1.00 (20090228) - Initial release.
1.01 (20090302) - Doesn't stay in memory saving 92kb!
1.02 (20090306) - Better management of memory unload.
Added configuration tool to choose if you prefer to keep it in memory (faster loading time) or unload it (saves 92kb).
Added another possible state for WiFi off.
Have fun!

Not exactly the same thing. Button 15, will turn off the screen but 16 will put the HD in sleep mode.
I really don't know how to do a real shutdown (like a long press on the power button) but I'm open to sugestions...
Can this app be started with multiple configurations?
E.g. different hotkeys start different button menus?
How to configure that?
Or A button opens a sub menu by starting the app with another config?
Is there an editor for the button mapping?

Hello! I do not see how reaching the parameters? Solutions? how to prolong the exposure time of the program!

I just changed some of the original behaviour, graphics and number of buttons of the HTC Action Screen.
Some things like sub menus or the time it takes to close can't be changed.
OK!
THX for this very good application.
Nice application, well done.
Question: how best to stop it running so I can update the .brn file(s) ?

You can kill it with a task manager, but I was able to replace the files with Resco Explorer even with it in memory. You can also soft boot and replace the images before the first run.
Or, even better, add the following lines to the end of LaunchAction.mscr:
Code:
Sleep(10000)
Kill("HTCActionScreen.exe")
EDIT: This is in fact such a good idea that I've uploaded a new CAB with this change, see first post.
Thanks for helping me out so promptly, cheers. If you're unloading the app from memory does that mean a slight delay on each start-up ?
Would it be possible to revamp the background.brn and BG*.brn files so it's easier to adjust the icon order ? At the moment it's quite fiddly, with basic pic editing tools.

Sorry, but we're working with the limitations of the original HTC Action Screen application.
So useful!!! Thanks a lot for this nice app!
Do i need to uninstall the old version before installing the new version or i can just "upgrade" it?
One bug i found is that my wifi icon remain lighted up even after i click on it to turn it off.
Click wifi icon (become lighted up) -> Turning wifi on.
Click wifi icon (icon remain lighted up) -> turning wifi Off.

This is an app to add more functionality to the power off button on our devices!
Its nothing new.. a few other applications like this can be found in the forum but i wanted to write my own
I was told this works on Touch Pro (so probably on Diamond too), Xperia1 and MAX 4G. So It must be compatible with VGA & WVGA devices!
Test it and let me know!
ERROR FIX NOTE:
It appears that there is a confilct with MobileMagic app.
so make sure if you are using MobileMagic go to Buttons tab
click on Power button (Long), Select from the drop down box Start application and assign it to Touch HD PowerOFF.exe
soft reset and you are done!
Shutdown fix temp solution:
Now shutdown works only it prompts you for confirmation.. i'll try to find
a workaround later! for now the app is usable once more!

Sorry,,,
but i cannot find the App!!
is it attached??
Hmm, i get an error that the file is not signed when pressing the power button. But when i start it from the start menu it works fine.
Good work. Great app. Thanks for sharing.
My suggestion, please add an option to make the icons (larger would be nice) line up vertically.
I think it would be better that way for single hand operation. Otherwise to reach the left most button is a bit of a stretch (I usually hit the power button with my index finger, while my hand wrap around behind the HD, leaving my thumb free to wiggle about but that's just me).

I've installed to my device before creating the app some certificate cabs that came with other applications and this might be the reason i dont get the error.

Hi All,
Unfortunately I lost the original 2 stylus. Don't ask me how, but they were disappeared somehow. So based on an idea from someone on a Hungarian Touch HD forum I wrote a small and very simple application called NoStylusWarning. It is simply monitoring the stylus state and if you set up some warning then it can put a notification onto the task bar and vibrate when e.g. the device is moving.
Improvements:
- language file support (xml)
- sound notification
- autostart
- partial solution for full hiding (background processing)
- vibration on stylus state change
- last settings are saved to the registry, application will load them on startup
- cab for easier installation
- some minor redesign
Features:
- notification icon and balloon for switched on device
- vibration for suspended device
- monitoring g-sensor to detect moving
- monitoring light sensor to detect stylus loosing in pocket/pouch
- running in unattended mode to detect events in suspended mode
- smart minimize (X using your default setting, to minimize, use the menu)
Installation / requirements:
- .Net 3.5 is required as well as an HTC device with g, light and stylus sensor
- Install the CAB file. For language support find the EN_Language.xml in \Program Files\NoStylusWarning directory rename it to language.xml and edit it to your language or rename an existing xml file to language.xml (only Hungarian is available at the moment)
Known bug(s):
- light sensor changes are not detected in suspend mode.
- registry values are not deleted when uninstalling (it can be a feature also )
- full hide mode is available only when taskbar notification is selected, there's no return point to the application when it is hidden except the button in the notification bubble. :-(
Comments and requests are welcome. Thanks!

I hope yes, because of the same sensors in Diamond, Pro and HD. I have a HD so I could test just on the HD. If one of the sensors is not reachable / available, the application will warn you and exit. But I think Diamond and Pro is supported.
It seems that not memorize the settings when I close it.
The app is in the background on.
Is it possible to make, that is the app only in the Autostart active.

Do you mean that if you autostart the application, it will run minimized by default? This connects to the previous suggestion about saving/loading previous settings. If so, (I hope) I can put it to the application...
Jes.
hi is in the autostart and also like on my pic.
If I make minimize then is it so.
If I close, then is the app not active.
Neato little app!.. but no sound alarm??
I have set MemoryMagic to play an alarm sound when the stylus comes out... works for me.

If you want to hide it from showing in the task manager (like in your pic), do this...

Hello, I don't think so. As far as I know Xperia has different sensors and maybe the vibrator function is not on the first led.
I hope i will have enough experience to extend my app to other winmo devices, but it is a big requirement that the device must have a stylus sensor.
Great function would be to use gps data to check where the stylus has been lost just in case you didn't notice the notification.

And if you lose the stylus in your bag, and the program stores with gps data the place where it starts notification, but you are going around with your bag or leave it at home or in office?? Where is your stylus?? where indicated from gps data or in the bag but you don't know??
Thanks for sharing ! Very useful for me lol !
Is there any way to run this automatically on startup??
Putting a shortcut in the startup folder doesn't work right??

A PocketCM Keyboard .23+ WVGA theme I made for the large of finger so you can worry just about what you want to say instead of trying to spend all your time pecking at each key and getting it right.
Features:
Virtual D-Pad
Long press on any letter to get uppercase.
Long press on almost any key for quick access to similar symbols.
Shift button is caps lock.
I made every key as large (tall (with big layout and wide)) as possible.
Has larger room for correction / allowed mistakes than standard keyboard to allow for less pickiness on large screen (WVGA).
Landscape finally works.
English qwerty.
Optimized as much as possible (including all images) for speed and size of theme.
Hold "!" for "!! "
Hold "?" for "?? "
Hold "," for ".com"
Hold "$" for "€"
Only bugs / quirks I'm currently aware of:
Not sure of what the height for landscape should be. (If you are using a full screen app (such as PocketCM) the current height is great, otherwise..it takes up pretty much the whole screen. Easy to change. Go to settings.ini, and change the last value from 27p to something more like 23p.)
Correction currently will not go through when any symbol is entered. Suggestion will go through only when the following are pressed immediately after a word is entered
space
!
@
Based off Tene's dream theme, so looks are the same.
Credits to of course tene and and also zard for assistance with the virtual keys.
Credits also to MrHawaii of PPCGeeks for a few ideas.
UPDATE 3/16/2009 V1.11
Started over from scratch.
Removed "Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space)." temporarily until I hear further from Tene on how to make it work more correctly.
Made suggestion 19% more forgiving, allowing for 19% further displacement from correct key. Think that is the farthest I will go, though I can bump it up if requested.
Suggestion will currently (until I hear from tene on how to fix it) only go through on the following
space
!
@
UPDATE 3/11/2009 V1.1
Added:
Hold comma key for ".com"
Auto - double space inserted when period, exclamation mark, or question mark pressed.
Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space).
Fixed:
Correction now goes through even on ?!.,
(Isn't actually as blurry as it looks on the thumbnail)
PCMK can be found at pocketcm.com
Updated. Small fixes and enhancements. See OP.
Thanks!
Use it on my Touch HD and its working fine!

Yep that's what's going to do it for you is just the height. I have it set for my device right now. The text box can't be moved / resized (except by tene), but if you lower the height of the whole keyboard then you should be good, I would recommend 24 or so.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for such a great theme! It's by far my favorite.
I was just wondering if you have released a new version of it since V1.11?
I'm not sure if I've found a bug, but, I've noticed that when I use any kind of punctuation (period, question mark, etc) it seems to be added to the beginning of the last word entered. For example instead of "I am home now.", I get "I am home .now". Is this behavior by design, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
ima noob. how do you get your skin to take affect?
Just copy the zip file into the PCM Keyboard folder in Program Files, then in PCM k\'s option choose my theme and then the suitable layout.
Hello,
There's a simple way for those who want to change default homescreen.
You have to be rooted.
So, you first have to download a file explorer that supports root, for example Root Explorer(paid, I use this one).
Then, go to /system and open default.prop with text editor.
Now, add this line:
Code:
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3
Where 3 is the number of the default screen you want - 1. So default screen 4 => 3.
Now, just reboot and it should work. If you have any problem/question, feel free to ask.
At first: Sounds great! Thanks!
But:
Afaik (only from some (elder?) videos) it's possible to add and delete home screens. Could you tell me or try what happens if you set this var to e.g. 5 (=> default home screen is 4) but you only have 3 home screens at all? The same has to be considered if you accidentally delete the last home screen and this one is/has been set to default.
Worked perfectly! Thanks for the tweak was missing this feature from my past android phones.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Could it be made into a simple apk file?
Even easier - no root required
Sorry to steal your thunder -
Pinch zoom (helicopter mode) longpress & drag will do it.

Ian, the point of this mod is so that when you hit your home button, while in your homescreens, it will revert to the 4th screen. Normally when you are in your homescreens and then hit the home button again, it'll revert you to the first screen as default. This is the case even if you change the order of your homescreens using pinch to zoom.
Cool I hoped this was coming. Cant stand being on 1 as the home screen.
Thanks EleCtrOx666!
Works great.
If it is this easy to make the change I don't understand why Samsung didn't include it as an option in one of the configuration menus.

I'll see what I can do.
It worked great with root explorer, but not so much with ES File Explorer -- it does have a "root" mode, but it asks you whether you are using the CyanogenMod or the HiAPK rom.
For n00bs, like myself, it's also worth pointing out that you won't be able to edit the build.prop unless you click on the "mount rw" (read/write) button up at the top first. Afterwards, you'll probably want to click the "mount ro" (read only) at the top again.
Thanks a lot.

This works beautifully and something I've been pining for after moving from sense. Thanks a lot
I'm not an active Android dev. But isn't there a var you can call and just divide by 2?
Like:
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen = ro.csc.homescreen.screencount/2;
Something like that? Excuse me if this obviously doesn't work, it was just a thought, as it would make it easier and won't require users to change that value whenever they change the amount of homescreens.
How did you find this setting? I'm interested if there are more useful settings like that.

i'm a beginner in this so pls have a little patience with me.
I got a SGS2 and i'm interested to know if there's anyway to root the phone without flashing a custom kernel taking in account that u have this "nice" counter on the phone.
Very nice explained how to modif home-screen number.
is it here any way to get temp root?
hi sorry to be a pain, but i would love to be change my default home screen button, I followed the guide, and rooted my phone successfully (i think) and once superuser was installed I went and found the defualtprop file and edited it as guided by adding that line, i clicked save & exit (at which point it tells me it made a backup of the original file) then after I restart the phone it just goes back to normal, like I never touched the file...
anyone know where i'm going wrong?
Thanks, reminds me of my HTC Desire now with homescreen centred

I got a SGS2 and i'm interested to know if there's anyway to root the phone without flashing a custom kernel taking in account that u have this "nice" counter on the phone.
Very nice explained how to modif home-screen number.
is it here any way to get temp root?

This Guide explains how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
This doesn't work for me. I can't add that line. I've tried two different text editors and two root explorers (one with an editor built in) and they both say the file can't be saved. No other programs open. I restarted the phone and tried again.
Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks for the help via PM.
In case anyone else had my problem, it was solved by using Root Explorer. Click "Mount R/W", do the edit, save, reboot.
Works perfectly.
WP Screenshot
Latest PC version: 0.2 | Latest phone version: 0.3
** About:
This is another Windows Phone Mango screenshot tool that works a bit differently from other implementation(s). It sends screenshots over the network to a PC application, so that you can instantly show your phone's screen on your monitor or projector.
** Usage:
Start "WP Screenshot.exe" on your computer and make sure that port 50560 is open (or simply allow the application to access the network when Windows Firewall pops up).
Start "WP Screenshot" on your Windows Phone device, enter the IP address of your computer (use local IP in case of running both parts on the same local network) and tap "Connect and start".
Now, when you press any of the selected buttons, a screenshot should be sent to your PC (there you can do some neat things with it, try CTRL+H).
When you want to stop the background worker, simply open the application again and tap "Stop".
** Current issues/limitations:
There can be some annoying lag when there is bad WiFi coverage.
It won't capture screens from games (XNA) and videos.
** Requirements:
developer unlocked Windows Phone (to deploy the application)
.NET Framework 4 (you need this if the PC application won't start)
** New in version 0.3:
ability to use volume buttons for taking screenshots (phone)
** New in version 0.2:
toast notification after 5 minutes of inactivity (phone)
autosave mode - screenshots get automatically saved into a desired folder (PC)
ability to stretch screenshot to fit to current window size (PC)
The screen capturing part is based on "The DllImport project (by fiinix)".
I am looking forward to all the feedback and I'll do my best to fix and improve this application in the future.
Suggestion : Auto Save to folder so if I want to take multiple screenshoot quickly I dont have to come to my desktop every time.
Worked over my Samsung Focus. And Many many thanks for this.
Another suggestion will be to turn off the background process if its idle for too long. Good if people forget to turn it off

After playing for couple of hours now. The shortcut for the server app doesn't work all the time. I had to try sometimes like 2-3 times to get it working.
Nice app
Thankx a lot man !!

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll include both in the next version.
About the shortcut... do you mean the hotkeys (CTRL+S,...) or something else? There can be some issues with detecting key combinations as you must hold down CTRL and then press AND release the other key while still holding CTRL down. I'll do my best to make this work as it should.
Yes the Hot keys aren't working properly. Also for the windows software,
1. The Window can be reduced in size.
2. You can set it sit in taskbar once auto save is included.

I can't get it to capture any screenshots on my HTC Titan. It connects, but half press of the camera button does nothing

Does it disconnect after pressing the camera button (does "Waiting for client...." appear?) or is there simply no picture on the PC?
Version 0.2 is here - autosave, inactivity notification.
My Suggestion.
1. Auto Save Location needs to configured everytime, not a good idea. We need settings page.
2. Notification should also disable the connection.
3. The Windows Size of the server software needs to be reduced. Takes much of screen
Rest works as stated. Thanks !!
Cool app ! I really like it.
A suggestion:
after taking a screenhot there should be a way to stop the capture process, maybe an automatic notification (stop capturing ? YES/NO).

Yes, it´s Jaxbot´s folder app, but I have added my own tile background icon...
Hey, this looks very good and would work for me (I've tried it), but since there's no camera button on my HD2 I can't use it. Is there any way to configure another button to do the same thing? (I'm afraid not...)
Anyway, will be featured in the portal!

Thanks I'll play with the volume keys next week. Maybe I can get the screenshot before music controls show up and make this at least partly usable on HD2.
Thanks a lot man! Do you think it would be possible to control it on the PC, that is, capture a screenshot using some keyboard shortcut or similar?
Very good app.....i like so much.....Thanks a lot!
Acouple Questions & sugjestions!
1.
I would think that the window on pc needs to be at 480x800 rez or...
800x480 & also a buton to switch betwen portret & landscape mode!
2.
I have no camira button on my htc hd2. How can I take pictures with this?
could you implement a small soft key overlay?
3.
I apsolutly love the diler pad its not so big as default & much better for what I am use to on cell phone I think I could text & dial better with it personaly I am very use to only the 9 buttons call me old fashen I gess but having the hole abc's with small buttons making it hard for me to text I would realy like to use it as default dialer for my phone and for texting to. Would you mind shareing the code for devs to cook with?
or is it public code I could use?

1. You can press CTRL+R to rotate current screenshot and later CTRL+D to fit window size to the actual screenshot size.
2. I have now added an option to use volume keys for capturing screenshots (version 0.3). All HTC HD2 users, please try this feature.
3. It's http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.textbox.inputscope(v=vs.95).aspx. In my case: <TextBox ... InputScope="TelephoneNumber" ... />
