Thanks to all betatesters for their help and I apologize for all bugs and inconveniences.
FAQ:
Q: When I start the app I got a error: "mToolbox.exe TypeLoadException". What can I do?
A: Try a softreset, it's known problem when your RAM is quite full.
mToolbox is a multifunctional sensor app. It's like a Swiss knife but without all the hardware functions. mToolbox is using the built-in sensors of your device. So in this version the light sensor and the G-sensor are supported. Maybe I add the support for the stylus sensor in a further release.
You'll have:
water level
light sensor
ruler
angle meter and
shock sensor
It's very important that you report me every error (maybe with screenshot). That's the only way to make the app bug-free. Report here or send me an email to: error ( a ) dev.etechniker.com

Suggestion are welcome on every time.
If you like this app, I would be very happy if you donate me a coffee or two.
If you want you can "follow me" and the progress on twitter.

Looks awesome, I would like to see this toolbox available in all ROMS as a standard.
I already PM'ed you about beta testing it for you.

I have an Omnia (WQVGA). G-sensor apps work by having the htc gsensor api dlls.
How about adding a g-sensor pedometer function?
Also what happened to mFlash? It was a usefull tool (too bad the standby/hibernate function and the power button of the phone would turn off the flash led... it needed a button to turn of screen). I think it would be a nice addition to the toolbox.

Merlot check your mail, I've sent you the testing results.

Yes you're welcome to try the beta version. Look at the first post where I added the download link to the beta vesion.
What exactly do you mean with pedometer? Do you mean a step counter?
Sorry that I can't continue with mFlash but without a device with flashlight it's not possible.

Looks interesting... will stay in touch...

I'm going to download this and try it out. I have the HTC Fuze (aka Touch Pro)

The buttons are quite large for the VGA device right now and some of the buttons have a hard time actually working. Meaning it takes a while for me to actually get into the tool I want.
I know I was supposed to e-mail you, but thought this might be easier.
I am working on the screenshots.

I have a Blackstone, EVO IIIt cooked ROM (wm 6.1, Manila 2.0, NetCf 3.5, localized IT). I cannot even start the app:
Code:
mToolbox.exe
TypeLoadException
Same error with version 1.3

Same Problem here (diamond VGA). Buttons must be pressed hard and often before i get any reaction. Also text, for example in thre ruler app, is cut off on the right side, or overlapping. Also the program is running VERY slow (don't know if that's because of my rom) Exit Button does not work for me, i think (killed the program by taskmanager after waiting 30 seconds).
I'd love to help you beta testing, but at the moment the app is not really usable on my device.

idea..
Flashlight app

nice app, works great here on HTC Touch HD.
Thanks for your hard work!

I get error when starting program
mToolbox.exe
TypeLoadException
Touch HD - stock rom

looks awesome

I've made some changes and uploaded version 0.2.1 beta. Please use the download link in the first post and try the new version.
*some changes in the resolution calculation
*fixed some bugs

Flashlight. I fully agree. Would be nice and sometimes useful.

Some things I have noticed,
In the shock section, it will freeze sometimes when logging is on (tested on AT&T Topaz rom, but on my custom rom it works ok so far.)
Also the info section, it would be better to color the x y z letters to show what they are on the graph. and maybe a set of guides as to what the graph should look like when the phone is laying flat up with no movement. That way you can get an idea of the angles as well. and a way to record and view a log (while in the app, i do see a record button, but no intuitive way to read such log)
Also the page animations are slow (switching between menu and the sections of the app.)
Other than that I love this application and plan on cooking it into my roms as soon as it is closer to being finished, if that is okay anyway.

Ok, so I finally got around to posting these screens.
Here is what I have:
My device:- HTC Touch PRO (VGA)
mToolbox version:- 0.2.1 BETA
So here are the screen shots:
- The splash screen has some overlapping.
- The red marking in the third screen, shows the areas that respond to touch. I can only touch that area of the button to activate that tool.
- I didn't include the screen for light sensor because my light sensor is off for now, and I reached the limit for attachments in a post (its 8 attachment per post).
View attachment 207593View attachment 207594View attachment 207595View attachment 207596View attachment 207597View attachment 207601
The water level, 'angle' and shock sensor all worked perfectly. Its just a matter of resizing them. As you can tell Water level is way off the target. The 'angle' needs a bit of tweaking and the shock sensor is ok.
The App is still a bit sluggish when I go to any tool.
Some cool things I did notice were that I can just slide from left to right to get back to the main menu and the arrow in between Back and Exit is really useful to gain more screen space.
Awesome tool, merlot. Hope we can get this working on VGA devices.

I too have Samsung Omnia SGH-i900 running a WM6.5 ROM (build 23007) by Sector. After installing the 0.2.1 beta .cab and tapping the icon in start menu I just can see the initial splash screen and then the app crashes without any explanation.. I have > 40 MB free RAM so that shouldn't be an issue. An suggestion ?
P.S: for those of you interested in mLight, I recommend moving to TorchButton, which currenly has lots more function (ideally to be integrated in mToolbox !)

the website seems to be down atm
edit: its working now

Dock-N-Play Animated Today Background [Beta - 0.8 Beta Cab Available]

Beta Cab (0.8) available here: http://rapidshare.com/files/198951161/DNP_0_8_Beta.cab
All,
Dock-N-Play (DnP) is a "Craddleware" application that detects when your phone is craddled and on external power. If so it launches a "animated" today screen that provides a clock, email, current weather and appointments along with... wait for it... an animated background! This is one of those - "WOW that's neat... can I get that for my phone?" impress your co-workers applications. I have posted a few screen shots. My hope is a small community will help create animations to share with others. After the initial release in WVGA I will create a VGA version for others (likely not QVGA though - sorry)
The next release (after this one) will include some more options to:
- go full screen,
- assign quick-launch programs to front icons,
- change clock to completely transparent, semi transparent or fully non-transparent
A later release will add assignable quick launch icons to the middle of the screen for things like GPS navigation, Phone, Locking etc
Here are a few preview screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Beta Cab available here: http://rapidshare.com/files/198951161/DNP_0_8_Beta.cab
Some known issues! {beta}
I believe this will only work on English ROMs... the next release will fix this. Setting location for weather requires "blind" typing or use of something like My Mobiler... also will be fixed. Please feel free to create your own animation skins but be forwarned that I will be making minor changes to the config.ini and txt files to accomodate needed internationalization changes. The next major release will include a PDF guide for creating skins but I'm guessing many will be able to just look and edit existing sample files. Also current CAb does not allow/display option to load to storage card... as soon as I figure out why I will fix this too
Please enjoy and know that fixes/enhancements will be forthcoming
Wow...very nice indeed.
One request, can this app have a lock feature?
Sounds Great, Hope It Goes Well, And Keep Us Updated
Incredibly nice idea, I'll definately test this out once you release the beta. Cheers!
try to make it run in fullscreen and take advantake of the hd's resolution.
thanks, and great project.
Great job...
Looks very good.. keep up the good work looking forward to test it
Can we have a youtube preview ? 'cause the picture previews doesn't really give us an idea of what it is like to have an animated background
I'm rebuilding my dev box with Windows 7 and watching the Superbowl... I'll put a video on my blog tomorrow and add a link to the first page.
Looks like a really great idea! Looking forward to testing it out, keep it up!
an Idea
abeery, what about an option to turn Touch HD into a picture frame ?
i.e full screen picture slideshow.
Good Luck to you and all Developers!
Some quick comments and answers
Added video to first link
Animations can be created by end users so picture frame possible
Full screen an option I will add but not use myself because I need full notication task bar icons for work
i love the idea!
what i would like to see in this app is a three mode function(or more).. for use in the car, home and office..
lets say i get in my car and i dock the phone on its holder, a screen will pop up with 3 big buttons that say "Car" "Home" "Office"
i click the button Car and the car menu shows in screen.. maybe it has a big clock a big "Call" button a Button to launch my GPS app etc..
when i receive a phone call in Car mode a screen should pop up with some nice buttons to answer or reject the call.. maybe a photo of the caller etc!
Now for the "Home" and "Office" modes what you already developed seem to fit
cheers!
I love this idea... Let me play with it and see what I can come up with... may end up being a version 1.5 release but I will do it.

UNmexed, fantastic ideas to add to an already fantastic idea. This is exaclty what I've been looking for, hopefully this will lead to us being able to use our WM devices as Windows Sideshow type desktop extensions........definitely going to be loading the beta~!

Brilliant work can't wait finally something to show off to the iphone boys.
Will we be able to get rid of the bottom "curtain" and make the clock smaller in order to see more of the background?
Maybe make the clock background transparent instead of white so that more of the beautiful animation background can be seen.
Beta Cab now available
Wow thanks will give it a try
Thanks a lot for your idea and work
I like a lot the idea of umexed +1

Sounds interesting... going to try it! Thanks!
Looks great, I'll be glad to have one program do many things, instead of many programs doing one thing each.
A question though, I attempted to configure the screen when asked, but after inputting the size (3.25) it doesn't seem to have taken properly (see image) is there a way to re-input the screen size. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but is stays the same.

nice job dude !
I'm going to give it a try
Thank you very much for the application, here I leave the Spanish language file. Thank you
Can you maybe give us the option of installing just the one we need? I only need the shock sensor and I dont need the others. I already have kai's bubble level 2.0

Let me explain why you have to do this.
When you enter the screen diagonal of your device the app will calculate the pixel per inch value, and with that the ruler and also the angel meter is built.
I have no idea why this is going to fail on your devices. I've tesed this many times with different values on my Touch HD which has a digonal of 3.8". The result of this is 246 pixel per inch.
Please take a look in the registry, there is a value named "PixelPerInch". Please give me the values of this entry, so I maybe can understand what's going wrong.

Sorry I can't find detailed information about the app. On the given website they only offer a barcode reader software. I think the app is using GPS, isn't it?

I think I have the same problem. I think I entered 3.8 for my Touch HD but I think you might want to move the textbox above the keyboard as I couldn't see it as I typed. Anyway I'll look in the registry but could you give me a hint as to where? (Sorry two weeks in the hospital and I'm now way to sick to think straight)
Apart from that this is an excellent app. Its definitely a keeper thats for sure. Nice work!
Yes.. it seems url doesn´t work. You have another one with detailed features : http://www.apptism.com/apps/artificial-horizon-3d
This is only a clinometer with especial skin. It works with gsensor, not gps. iPhone have not oem gps.

nice app
great idea, shame it doesnt work on my tg01
nice app.Gracias
opal dont have g-sensor nooooooooo
Works a treat on HD2
good stuff..
Nice will try this out thanks
looking good ..smooth..
installed on storage, and working fine on hd with stock rom..6.1
thank you
Looks fantastic. Giving it a run on my HD2. Need feedback/suggestions?
Really nice! But I have many problems controlling it via the g-sensor. I think it would be much easier if it would be a little bit like "Motion Drum":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yydDd727eE
Just 8 effects in a circle (or square) and a dot in the middle, which shows the movement of the g-sensor.
I love it
nice application
request QVGA...!!!! Please.
Installed and played with it only for a few minutes, but it is a hell of a lot of fun. I installed it with no issues on my HTC HD2. The program and interface is nice and simple, good image quality and user interface. The Home, sound and settings buttons at the bottom are a bit misleading. They look like HTC sense buttons which makes you first think you can slide across it with your fingers. They are however individual buttons and take a second before you enter the menu. Whichever it works, the buttons are OK, no oldstyle windows mobile look there. The instrument menu is great and user and touch friendly, so no issues there. The settings tab is simpel and clean. Have not had the time to get a feeling for the sensitiviy of the X, Y and Z axis, but I guess it is a question of trial and error. I think a small table in the help menu would be helpful to get insight into the settings.
I found it quite frustrating to use the G-sensor. When you hold the htc horizontally the Z-axis, or vertical axis is the middle box and works ok. The problem starts with the horizontal x-axis (or left and right shake). One side is one instrument and the other another. in the y-axis (or forward/backward shake) you have another 2 insturments that also seem to battle amongst themselves. This makes it difficult to create a harmonic beat. Also the G-sensor seems to have a "contra-coup" effect, in which a sudden change in direction in one axis of the x- or y-axis seems to cause a repeat of the same instrument. This is counter intuitive. The reason for this is that the postive axis (can) code(s) a different instrument than the negative axis. This applies for both x- and y-axis. You expect from a movement from the positive to the negative (left to right or visa versa, to-and-through) or visa versa to change instrument. This is not always the case. This makes this method of use with the G-sensor an unpleasant experience.
On the other hand the individual instruments can be tapped which works much better and is much more fun! 2 issues I have found is there is a lag time of the instrument sound when pressing it multiple times. Perhaps this issue could be solved. A second issue is that, although the HD2 is multitouch enabled, it apparently is not enabled in this app. I can only press one instrument at a time. Perhaps this issue could also be solved.
All-in-all G-soundbox is a must have app for the HTC HD2! Before its availability, however, a few usability issues with the G-sensor and multitouch need to be solved.

The Omnia has a WQVGA = Wide QVGA screen (240*400) This app is only for (W)VGA(800*600 - 480*640)
So no need to try to see it isn't working.
@Loffactory
Are you planning a WQVGA (Omnia i900) version?

Hello guys,
VIO is a free Windows Mobile Application based on motion detection
How does it work ?
--------------------------------------
VIO uses the phone's camera to capture and detect any motion.
Motion will be detected by comparing the actual picture with one reference picture that will be automatically refreshed (settings allow you to specify when it must be refreshed)
Two ways of comparison are available :
- Squares
Easy way and really fast ; the picture will be cut to squares, you just need to specify square's width + squares sensibility + minimum squares needed to trigger an alert
- Edges
More accurate but slower ; the difference between actual picture and reference picture will give us some zones, these zones will be extracted one by one, if one contains the minimum pixels needed you set then it will trigger an alert.
When motion is detected VIO will :
- save picture as .jpg
- send mails containing pictures to the email address you defined.
- send sms to alert you anywhere
More descriptions (V1 infos, i didn't updated about V2 now) here :

how this works ..can u put across more stuff...
tashan
There it is
I didn't give a lot of explications but it's better to try by yourselves.
Tried on HD2, but it does not capture anything. Should I be able to see the camera or?
You're the second one to tell me that it doesn't works on HD2, actually i don't have any clue.
Can you tell me what camera's resolutions are available plz ?
Plus if you find a file like "VIO-Errors.log" in your root can you plz tell me the content ?
Thanks
I will give i a try, because i will test all apps that's support the cam.
But one question i have now:
Which camera is used in this case (back or front)?
Report:
Tested on my phone (signature), but the app will not startup.
I see the cursor animation but nothing happens. Softreset was done.

Hey
No error log The camera solutions - well I dont know but its 5MP...
I will try to run all the solutions in VIO. BUT - should I be able to SEE the camera caoture?
Yep there must be a live preview, don't waist your time by searching if any other parameters will fix it, if you already don't have any preview then it will not works.
I f i got free time maybe i will try to find what the problem is.
Thanks
Thanks for the share. VIO works as specified with no errors on HTC Touch (cdma).
WRITE WITH BIG RED LETERS IN YOUR POST THAT THIS APP VIO CAN TOTALY MESS YOUR DEVICE AND ONLY HARD RESET WILL HELP YOU!!!​
Im very pissed my phone was super costumized and etc.. after i install VITO cab and restart... ONLY Blank Screen the Phone even don`t wana START so only Volume Key Down + Volume Key Up + Power Button HELP me!!!
developing
Any app under development can cause problems. It's all use at your own risk otherwise you'd be buying it off an app store. Hopefully you backed up your phone extensively and can restore it.

Works perfectly on my Mogul. Awesome!
In my HTC HD2 log file, show something about cannot find Pinvoke on Native.dll
Works fine on my Diamond but only after installing it to the main mem. Doesn't like being installed to internal storage.
Thanks!!
Major
Theoretically couldnt this app be used to emulate an accelerometre on devices that lack the hardware, or am I completely wrong?
Acer S200
Hello There,
Thank you for this great app.
I did enjoy the app. for few days, it was working very nice, till by mistake i did uninstall it, when i did try to reinstall it again, it gives me blank screen, camera would not start, nothing comes on the screen, i did uninstall and install several times but still the same thing, any idea why and how to fix it.
Best regards

Hi, it's probably linked to the file "\Program Files\VIO\settings.conf", please try to delete it and start the app.
To Uppy => yep it can be done somehow but it's really hard to make something reliable for some reasons :
- how do the phone know his start position
- only slow motions can make it works because of the slow fps
- etc..
I see, still an interesting idea, even if it's not practical.
Great app, none the less
Great app with much potential, thank you.
I think this is a great app. But there is one thing I am missing why not send the email through wifi. In that case you can put your phone any where in the reach of your network. (great for spare phones)

SciLor's GSensor Control is a tool for converting your Gsensor in a Dpad .
Choose from to modes: Analog Emulation or Digital Pad.
Analog Emulation sends the more keystroke the more you tilt your device
Digital Pad just holds the button in the direction you tilt it. If you put your device flat again the button is release.
You will know to be able to press enter by pulling your device up.

You will need .NET CF 3.5 (and a device with a g-sensor of course) - Link at the Bottom
This is a g-sensor d-pad emulator. Just tilt your device for sending up/down/left/right/return.
For sending the return button just pull your device upwards.
-Analog Emulation tries to send the more keystrokes the more you tilt your device
-Digital Pad sends just holds the "button" as long you tilt your device in that direction
You will always have to run the application to make it work. There is not background process (yet).
Beware, Alpha status!

Wow, this is quite innovative. Gonna try definitely.
Nice but can I suggest something?
I completely agree, this is what button less devices need. I can't believe there are no proper working versions of tilt scrolling are available. G controller and D pad seem promising but are not really getting far.
As far as I can see you only need two things to get this working great.
1: Device centring so it can be calibrated to a normal holding position for neutral.
2: Maybe a map to a button to pause it - so, for instance, hold the volume button so stop it scrolling once you are where you need to be - or the other way round - press a button to un-pause it and allow scrolling.
If you could get it to emulate finger scrolling - like moving around a webpage or document - that would be awesome.
Good luck - someone's gotta get this working
Nice ideas, I will take them into account Feel free to post future suggestions in my Forums so I can better keep track of them!
tested
I tried this on my Imagio this morning (6.5). Didn't appear to work (I could have been doing something wrong but it seems like a pretty straight forward deal). I tested it on the Total Commander menu and the PHM Registry menu. It did not respond to either of the 2 options.
I tried installing on device memory and storage card. I did several soft resets. I reinstalled. I have zoombar plus installed. that turns your zoombar into a d pad by sending keystrokes- could that cause a conflict with this app?
**EDIT** So I uninstalled both. Reinstalled GSensor. Still not working for me. Looking forward to further development though.
To bad Do you have any GSensor build in? Does other software work that uses this sensor (HDWobble/HD2Wobble)?
GSensor
I do have a G Sensor built in. I have the game Teeter (labyrinth) . Works like a charm.
I will come back to you, if I continue working on it
Brilliant!
I've just installed it on my HD2 (using Duttys HG v0.9 WWE).
The only App I really want to use it in is MS Reader & I can confirm that it works there. However, there are a few enhancements needed before I'd add it to my permanently installed programmes ...
1.) Sensitivity setting ... it's far too sensitive (analogue or digital) ... I'd prefer it if a definite movement was needed, as it is, the slightest adjustment of angle (and none of us are rock steady! ) triggers the app.
2.) The ability to automatically enable or disable depending on which application had the focus (i.e. a whitelist & a blacklist) ... was a bit disconcerting when my home-page suddenly started switching tabs, etc!
3.) Calibration for centering (as suggested by Toggs) ... I definitely don't use my phone perfectly flat, but hold it tilted at all times ...
4.) ?? Mapping of the G-Sensor direction ?? i.e. I'm fine with left-tilt/right-tilt being page forward, page-back. But it would be nice if up-tilt/down-tilt were mappable to something else.
5.) This is 1. & 4. combined ... would it be possible to be selectively sensitive? i.e. set the up-tilt/down-tilt to a low (or zero) sensitivity & the left/right higher?
Thanks for a great addition to my HD2 experience. I'll definitely be donating once it's out of beta!
Thank you for your suggestions. I wil do my best to include that
SciLor
Does nothing here on my Touch HD
What should it do?!
Do I have to start that program to work or is it autostarted after a soft reset?
Should it "simulate" d-pad right button when i do this with my phone?
Doing nothing for me either. I am really looking to try this & spread word about it...Let me know if I can be of any help. I tried both ways but not working..actually nothing happens actually. Using TP2 unbranded with g-sensor enabled.
Nice, gonna try this.
btw. why are you giving me the finger in your readme

Yes, that will be great. For now its to much.
Maybe its nice idea to measure the curent state (position) of the device and use that as 0 position (starting) for G-Sensor every time we starting this software
I will do my best to give you a nice experience. I am currently planning that you can set up a standard behavior and you may also set special behavior for applications. You may choose if the GSensor should be calibrated on the programs startup automaticly, you may pre calibrate it for the application only or use the standard you set.
Mhh I hope I find enough time to make that features soon
SciLor
PS:
What about running it as a process, seperated from the config tool so there is any need of an open window in the background.
