Hi, Guys
Great job on all the different ROMS.
Is it possible to set the screen orientation for specific applications. ie stay in standard portrait mode, but say I open email or tom tom. I would like the screen to change to landscape automatically and when I exit the program the screen to revert back to portrait mode. If not does any one know of an app that can do this.
cheers
That has to be written into the application.
It used to be an option in Tomtom 5, but it was a feature that was removed for Tomtom 6.
Opera browser will landscape independantly of the OS.
Sadly developers have have starting thinking that as screen rotation is available from Windows, they don't need to add it to their applications.
I'm not aware of any extra application that would monitor other opening applications and switch the display accordingly.
thanks for the quick reply. Guess I will have to manually change before opening.
just find this:
wisbar advance 3
Features
Compatible with WM2003, WM2003SE, WM5 and WM6 touchscreen devices
Uses a smaller memory footprint than WisBar Advance 2
Customize the close button, the screen orientation and the SIP on a per-application basis

Provides a cascading start menu (as in the screenshot)
Tap and hold the OK button to cancel a dialog
Add or remove functions to the taskbar
Each button on the taskbar can be assigned a tap and a tap-and-hold action
Place shortcuts in the system tray for easier access from the Today screen
Customize a "User Menu" with applications of your choosing
Change the appearance of the taskbar, menubar, buttons and start menu in any program
Supports QVGA and VGA devices
Customize the clock's appearance on the taskbar
Hear sounds for system events, just like on your desktop
Download and install themes created by other people
I assigned the internet explorer button (bottom right) to "rotate screen".
thanks for the post,
Pete - seems to be the best solution without having to install extra apps. cheers

Try this. Gives you a today plugin for wireless and bluetooth
Close
The only thing I would like different is if it didn't open up the comm. Manager to actually switch it, if it made the change right from the home screen it would be perfect, anyone know of something like that???I found something called cicleBT that work well however its not on the Today screen home page, I have the HTC home plugin and can put it in the app launcher and its cool. Any way of making it so it works as a plugin on the home screen.

Nice! Haven't seen this one before.
can this be changed to be a plugin
Just want to see if there was a way of making this so that it was a plugin on the today home screen say just under the HTC home plugin aligned to the left side and have my calendar show up to the right of it??? A nice little icon there that is large enough to use my finger to push???
Anyone know how to do a mod like this??
Thank you I wish I knew how to do it, any help would be appreciate.
Cheers!!
are you lookin for freeware? b/c if NOT then spb phone suite has today screen components, 1 of which is like a button that displays a sub menu allowing you to turn phone, bluetooth, and wi-fi on/off and also flight mode. you can even tap and hold on each to access more options (ex: bluetooth modes, vibrate etc.) i dont want to sound like i'm selling this to you, but it's a great app. maybe the 1 app i install over every rom.
more info here
more screens here
search for a program called pockettoolman its freeware.
yeah freeware
Definately looking for a freeware to do this, not really wanting to pay for an icon on the today screen. I found this cab but can't get it to work looks like what I want but it don't work
HELP needed any good coders...............
I have found a quick launcher on the web with 5 icons to launch apps. Is there any coders out there that can manipulate this for me to 3 icons, bluetooth toggle on/off, wifi toggle on/off, and phone toggle on/off, justified to the left side of the today screen, again I am using an att 8525 with the att rom. Any help would be appreciated. thank you all in advance.
cheers,
attached is the cab for the quick launcher.
I am beating this to death
I am sorry to keep on with this, this is the last CAB that i will upload I really hope someone can help me with building what I want but til then this little plugin will suffice. Please try and help me with what I described above in the other posts. thanks.
the plugin you want CommCEntric v1.11 (hell I want it if someone can make it into a today plugin for pocket pc) is an xml file. unfortunately you need some type of a homescreen to view it. I dislike the homescreen concept because they take up so much space, but I love the look of comcentric)
hopefully anyone technically inclined can make it into a cab that will make it viewable on a pocket pc screen (not just smartphone)
CommCEntric v1.11, release date 2007/06/14
http://web.gemini.dynalias.net/default.asp?c=index_ek_cc
A home-screen plugin for the Smartphone to instantly turn on and off the two main communication sections of a device, bluetooth and wireless, without having to go into the settings or even bother with the slow Comm Manager.

date attribute: Optional, specifies the format string for the date display. Format string is as per MSDN specification (look at the lpFormat section). If it's omitted, no date is shown.
Optionally, the plugin can also be translated. You just need to add some attributes, each one translating a specific string:
str_bt0: translates "Disable Bluetooth"
str_bt1: translates "Enable Bluetooth"
str_bt1d: translates "Set discoverable"

Has anyone figured out a way to make the commcentric app work for pocketpc??? Would love just to have the Bluetooth icon on home screen and be able to toggle just bluetooth on/off....any help here would be appreciate, basically bluetooth icon on the left with my calendar plugin showing up next to it on the right...
Cheers!
The easiest way to do this is to use cLaunch (http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html) which allows you put to icons onto your today screen. It's really configurable so you can just have a couple of icons, or your can have multliple tabs with many icons on. You need to play about with it to get it working how you want, but it'll do what you're looking for.
For the Bluetooth icon, here's a useful utility that toggles Bluetooth on and off without opening CommMgr. Copy it into Program Files on your phone and cLaunch should be able to see it so that you can have the bluetooth icon on your today screen.
An even simpler method is to stick BTSwitch in your Program Files and then map one of your soft buttons to it... No need to take up any screen real estate with pretty icons!!

HELP me
Where exactly do I navigate to to put the BTSwitch so I can map it to a button already on my phone, what a brilliant idea! Thanks, I just don't know what to do with it. I have placed it in several locations and went to map the button but can't find the file....I am dumb or am I missing soemthing.
Thanks and Cheers!

Sorry, should have been more specific!
Put the BTSwitch.exe file into Windows/Start Menu/Programs. You can then use the standard Settings > Buttons method to map one of the hardware buttons to the BTSwitch programme.
You can also map one of the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen, but will need a separate utility to do that... (eg Schap's Advanced Config : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070)
Also, have a look at these threads for other ways of changing your soft keys:

Hi,
I had the same question, and someone did answer what you and I where looking for.
It was answered by: slavik @ www.pocketpcfreak.com
The software is called: HTC BT Quicklink
His link was: http://rapidshare.com/files/42718525/HTC_BT_Quicklink.cab
There is no manual, but play with it and you will figure it out...
Good luck.
Hi all!
I use the WM6.5 ROM V64 (Core 23053) w/ LEO-MANILA/FOOTPRINT (thanks to PDAVIET).
I would like to remove the awful WM volume controler and replace it by the HTC volume controler. I do not want to use SetVolume application.
I remark that HTCVOLUME key does not exist (reg, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BOOtLauncher\Servic e). I creat the Key HTCVOLUME and creat module ="\Windows\HTCVolumeControl.dll"
When I make a soft reset, again the awfull windows is present.
What is the dll file is launching when the Awfull window is running???
No idea???
Thanks!
Can someon post a copy of the HTCVolume key service from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BOOtLauncher\Service or other?
I try to copy the same reg to my HD...
Regards!
here a picture of the awfull windows pop-up:
I second that!
I have been trying the same stuff...but to no avail
Seems to be an issue with WINMO BUILD 23053.
I finally gave up.
But I did find that if i use S2U2 ver 2.04 and use the VOLUME CONTROL in that app...it will override the horrible winmo volume control
so maybe the answer is there somewhere???
I do graphics though, not so good with registry...
Why search for registry settings to turn of the ugly Windows pop-up volume control when you can install the HTC Volume Control?
I believe there is one in Miri's Cab Repository : http://blog.celogeek.com/mobile/mobile-blackstone/mirror-for-miris-rom/
Don't know if that works, but I do know that it looks and acts way better!
ok Duncank, lets me try it and give a feed-back in minute! Well, but do you know which reg key control Windows' pop-up???
No Duncank, it not changes the awfull windows pop-up??? The only things it changed it the volume icon in taskbar, the customised one is now replaced by the Windows standard...
no go
Yeah I tried that cab as well....doesnt help...
I asked Agent47 makes the Valkyrie ROMS for our xperias....he said he hasnt found a way in the newer builds...23047 and up
Its gonna have to be a reg setting...

Okay too bad, it worked in older windows 6.5 builds.
I don't know the keys for the windows volume pop-up, and I searched the registry for "volume" and the two most likely keys are "HKLM\Control Panel\Volume" and "HKLM\Software\HTC\Volumeoverlay"
But what exactly do you want to do with the registry-keys? Do you want to disable the standard windows volume pop-up? Because than you have nothing to change the volume with...
I think you have to search for something to replace the volumecontrols by. Most likely this will disable the standard pop-up too.
With the key (if exist), I would like to disable the pop-up... I make some changes in volumeoverlay, but result is the same.
I replace also the HTCVolumeControl.dll, same result also.
I am loooking for the dll file which are pointed for Windows control volume application and launching the pop-up windows.
I try the other key and give my feeedback as soon as posible.
LikeM8
HKLM\Control Panel\Volume points to Group reg with "4294967295" value, what it is mean????
I don't know
Instead of using the vol. control hard buttons, tap top left corner (where start button of taskbar used to be). You will note a pop-up menu. then tape in the middle soft button (square wm logo). Then you will see the 2 large Volume control bars
Also you can change its colors with HD Colored Volume cabs

can someone said which dll is running whanr the colume controller is launching?
can someone know which dll file or exe is used to lunch windows volume controler pop?
Any updates?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395695
this is what you all are looking for
you folks have just got to do with this cuz this is a known problem with the newer ms build... they havent implemented HTC volume control
yes, the application it's very useful.but the working volume in a call, depends by the rom. i'm using 23081 and working fine
tbh would still like to use the HTC one that is inbuilt. It is peculiar that hw buttons give the WM version, but the softkey (WM curtain button) gives the HTC one
any ideas?
Hi, I always thought windows mobile lacks of a few basic things. One of them is a basic profiles selector.
There are several apps doing the job like phone alarm (my favourite) or phoneweaver but these programs are commercial and even if I paid for phonealarm I am abandoning it since I am getting more and more minimalistic.
I am combining mortscript, htcaction screen, Vit Bernatik backlight control, vjvolubilis, wifionoff, michasspecial refresh and eric's pfswitch to do the following:
- Define 8 profiles (home, internet, gps, car, outdoor, mute, vibrate, flight)
- Have a full screen pop-up menu that autohides after a few seconds if no profile is selected (htc action screen) (screenshot below)
- With the profiles govern: radio, bluetooth, wifi, grps, backlight intensity, dim and screenoff timeouts, rotation, incall and system volume and automatic activation of a program if wanted
- Update titanium wallpaper accordingly (screenshot below)
- Update the shorcut icon in the start menu accordingly to the profile selected (screenshot below)
Eric has been helping me a lot lately with his console app
The profile module still is missing a few functionalities
- A setup file so users can choose to change wallpaper or not.
- A UI to mantain the profiles names and parameters (I plan to do it in mortscript since I am not able to program on windows mobile so far)
- A cab install, including the icon that I currently create at 1st boot with mortscript
- A GPS switch (so it can be used to sync time automatically at 1st boot or on demand)
- A replacement for htcaction screen (so many brn files, brrrr...)
- Support newer devices than my Polaris (I have no accelerometer or light sensor)
I post it in case somebody is interested either to use it or to help me complete it, or improve it (performance, better tweaks, etc) and who knows, maybe someone wants to take it to the next level and help me replace htcaction screen or build a nice touch friendly UI to mantain profiles.
Here are the files (it is a module in my kitchen, simply add to your kitchen or copy all files to windows and rename and import the provxml file and create a shortcut to HTCActionScreen.exe):
A little ashamed of publishing this in the software development section. Maybe it would be more appropiate to publish in the themes section...
That's all folks !!
