how to kill panelmanager.exe...

hi i want to overwrite the new fixed panelmanager but i cant find any reference to third party task manager to do the job... someone please post a link

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1700898

Greetings, What exactly is your problem?

To hinder the panelmanager from starting up automatically with every reboot delete the corresponding entry from "windows\startup". And to stop the running process use a decent task manager as the one mentioned above or in SK Tools.

[UPDATED] Miri ROM update watcher.

Hi everyone.
I'm a BIG fan of Miri's ROMs, and because of this I was always eager to know when he's released a new version. I could obviously keep checking the thread where his ROMs are posted & discussed, but I wanted something to let me know as soon as he posted something, without me having to manually check.
With that in mind, I came up with the "MiriROMWatcher" application. Simply download the file linked below and follow these instructions to install it...
Miri ROM Watcher - download
1. Unzip the rar file and place the exe file somewhere on your harddrive that you're happy with
2. Create a shortcut to the exe file (right-click and drag the file, let go and select "Create shortcut(s) here").
3. Move that shortcut file into your windows startup folder (so it starts every time you run windows.)
4. Double click the shortcut, or exe, to run the program.
Once it's running, it sits in your system tray and checks Miri's page every 10 minutes to see if the page title has changed. If it has, the icon flashes until you double-click it. (Double-clicking opens the thread in your default browser, whether flashing or not.) Since Miri changes the thread title to reflect the version number, it's a pretty simple way of looking for a new version of the ROM.
This is not a flashy, user-friendly program - it's a simple app that does a simple thing. With that in mind, there'll be no config files or front end, and it will probably never be updated in any way. If it doesn't work for you, send me a private message and I'll see if I can help, but I'm not promising anything. It's such a simple app that it should just work anyway.
Hope it helps some people out. If there's enough interest I'll look at doing a mobile version, so you know of updates even when you're out and about!
Thanks all.
Edit:
I've modified the application to ignore page titles "Error Message" and "502 Bad Gateway". Whenever the XDA forum went down (for whatever reason), the app was seeing the error or gateway message as a new page title, and showing an update. It now simply ignores the page if it sees one of those titles. If you need to update the app, simply replace the existing exe file with the new one (make sure that the app is not running when you do this, or it won't work.)

MOD EDIT
As this is an application I've moved it to Themes, Applications and Software forum. I suggest you also post a link in Miri's threads

Cheers Spartan.

cool, he really deserves that attention. Great artist.

great thanks ...

Thanks my friend, I added a link to the first post of the ROM thread.

Guess I will have to do updates as required then, eh
Cheers Miri!

QuickGPS
Might be a silly question but is Quick GPS included in this ROM? if not is there anywhere i can download it from?
Thanks

wtf? wrong thread my friend!

what a cool idea!! cheers

hej!
nice idea about the ROM watcher! I usually use twitter to follow Miri, or
twitter.com/dXsL/Leo-ROM-development.
Now Miri has moved to HTCpedia, guess the app needs an update

wf Phone Tools 0.2 alpha

Hi!!!
I started a small project to install xap and other stuff.. you can find it here!
If anyone wants to try it...
SMS works only with devices supported from SMSBackup (thanks to shinichi_wtn)!
http://wpmanagertool.codeplex.com/
It allows to (in this version)
- Install new application on device
- Update existing application on device
- Show the list of installed applications (only developer installed)
- Launch, Kill and uninstall applications
- Explore isolated storage of applications
- Download files and folders from isolated storage
- Download SMS from device (in combination with smsBackup XAP)
from v.0.2
- Load pdf on adobe reader (need to uninstall the builtin version and reinstall from xap)
- Load office documents on device
- added debug functions
- corrected various bug (install from wrong xap, sms duplicates, ....)
- added resources from AppResLib
- added "copy" and "export" for sms
... and more to come...

In next versions:
- load provisioning xml
- folders?

I may recommend you to use http://resourcelib.codeplex.com/, to extract localized strings and display correct app name instead of @AppResLib.dll,-100

getting error
i found only this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb735936.aspx
is this ok???? someone say v3 is v10...
edit: is not... not working.... where to download v10???

I keep getting an error when trying to launch the app. It says that a required assembly "Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.vs Version 10.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache first." When I Binged looking for an answer to this, I found this on the Microsoft MSDN Forums:
I was able to fix this by de-selecting these items in the properties window of my project file.
In the Publish Tab, under Install Mode & Settings, Click the "Prerequisites" button, then only select the Items you need to install.

I downloaded the Microsoft Visual Basic Power Pack 3.0 installer, and that didn't help fix the issue.

@dxdy: I think andreacorti has to fix the Click-to-Install installer, as it's including some prereq's that clients do not have or need, as just having the correct .NET Client Framework is all that should be needed to run the application.

Hi.. the correct framework version is selected (4.0) .
the power pack dll is actually needed, i use a control from that dll..
I included also the power pack in the package and in the requisites.. could you please check if it's working? thanks!!
(the dll with guid {250BEABB-55E8-43bb-AC97-2D95674ECE14} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Phone Tools\CoreCon\10.0\Bin\ConMan2.dll - is needed and I cannot include in the package.. I think zune or the sdk install it )

Awsome, Looks great, can't wait to get home from work to try this...
Exactly what I have been looking for. Too many different apps to install XAP files and others to do other things.

I do have .NET 4.0 installed on my system (run plenty of other .NET 4.0 software.) I just looked on my system, and I don't have a BIN folder under C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Phone Tools\CoreCon\10.0\. BTW, I do have Zune installed, as well as the Windows Phone 7.1 SDK. I don't know why this file doesn't exist on my system.
Ok, so I tried your updated Click-to-Install and it's now working. Well, the application launches. Do our devices need to be Interop-Unlocked for this to work? My Focus S is just developer unlocked.

thanks for the tip, will add it to the site

Edit: A small XAP 205KB, has been hanging for more than 5 min claiming installing. Tried it with another app, it was done in 5 seconds...
Got it running, it cuts off the bottom of the buttons more than 1/2 way, extending the window does not fix.
Attached image if you want to see what I mean...
I know it's a small bug....but, it's a bug.

Anyplan you might make a regular .exe app? This .application is not working for me. I have .net fw 4 but I can't get this to deploy. Just an unknown file extension.

Thanks for helping me get 'Samsung extra settings' app off my phone. The auto brightness setting would not disable on my Focus. It, Ministry of sound and App Highlights were the three apps it detected that were installed before using your tool.
Again, big thank you!!!

I uploaded also the non click once version,
you can also try to set this parameter (during installation) http://www.netlinq.dk/Teknik/tabid/...cation-signed-with-a-chained-certificate.aspx

Awesome. We did a review of this tool at WPXBOX.
One problem is with the Isolated Storage which always remain blank but if I open it from Advance Tab it displays the PDF file uploaded.
Secondly icons for Homebrew tools aren't displayed properly.

LG Theme Template (Android Studio Project)

I've seen a lot of people asking how to exactly theme the LG devices, a while ago i made a template in Android Studio.
This is based on another Template i found that was just for Settings.
Anyone familiar with Android Studio should know what to do with this.
Included in the template package is: "common", "settings" and "_app"
"common" is used for the package: com.lge (which is comparable with SystemUI/Framework-res)
"settings" is used for: com.android.settings (Settings App obviously)
"_app" is the app for the theme itself.
If you want to provide themeing to more apps, you will have to add them yourself.
Make a new folder for the app you want to theme, let's say: Phone.
In this folder you add the resources and manifests to make this work (you can copy/modify them basically from 'common' or 'settings')
Add this folder to 'settings.gradle' (main folder)
Code:
include ':_app', ':common', ':settings'[COLOR="Red"], ':phone'[/COLOR]
Build all the seperate files (common, settings and phone (and whatever else you might add))
Then build app, making sure the other files are built and inside "_app\src\main\assets"
I won't be explaining stuff, hope everyone will work together on this one.
Anyways, here's the ZIP file, show me some love for this, and please show the stuff you make using this :good:
