Hi all
No, it's not a task switcher (still working on that one ) but here's a little something I thought I'd share, as much of the knowledge/code put into it came from here on XDA.
First off, this uses fiinix's amazing DllImport library, so check that out.

Here's what it is. I was curious to see how WP7 handled memory usage and running applications, and this program made it much easier to view this information in a convenient manner. After some cleaning, I figured I'd share it with you guys, and see if anyone has some suggestions. No, this is not a task manager, as I don't know how to get around the privilege issue. But once I do, I'll be sure to update it.
Also, it served as a basis to experiment with background threads. If you have dehydration enabled, I've programmed it to listen for the VolUp/VolDown combination. If detected, it'll bring up a message box in any running application with the current memory information.
But enough rambling Here's a video of it, and a download link. If you have any questions regarding it, feel free to ask
Features:
-Displays memory load and total physical memory
-Displays device uptime
-Lists all running processes
-Displays a message over the current application with memory load information upon pressing VolUp+VolDown (dehydration hack must be enabled)
Enjoy!

The application has to be running in the background, eg open up the task manager and press Start. It should then work. Let me know how it goes.
Apparently it doesn't work, even in the task manager app, nothing pops up! Is it only me? :/

Are you holding down both Volume Up and Volume Down? Are you sure dehydration is working and the app is running in the background? It's worked on my Samsung Focus during testing, so I don't know why an Omnia wouldn't.
yeah i'm sure i'm on dehydration and the app is in the background. i followed the things you did in the video and can see the multiple taskhost.exe in the task viewer..but the memory load info just doesnt pop up anywhere..is it because i'm on 7390 nodo?
Very cool. Keep up the great work Jaxbot!

NoDo shouldn't be a problem, something else must just be strange. What happens when you hold both Vol Up and Vol Down? Does the volume pop-up come up with the numbers changing rapidly?
Sometimes the volume pop up comes up but the volume doesn't change at all. Other times nothing comes up not even the volume..could u make one that uses the half shutter like on the task switcher u previewed? It seems more reliable to me..
This is intresting.
These are my suggestion (for a graphical taskviewer):
Auto update the list when the program gets active.
List only the hwnds of the running apps.
Keep track of the app that had last focus before opening this app (this maybe a bit tricky and is to render the latest state of the app before exiting)
Say im running facebook app and now open the taskswitcher it should make a screenshot of the facebook app the moment my active app changes when clicking the taskswitcher
Do you mind if I can do some experiments with your code? I can build it myself since I need only some parts of it, but your basically does half what I wanted to experiment so it will save time
Works sometimes on my HD7 when I press vol up/down great app though !

Thinking along the same lines, too. If I have time tonight, I'll clean up my example project and send it to you, otherwise I'll get it to you sometime tomorrow. Cheers
For those of you having issues:
Try this XAP. It will enable the focus key to pull up the dialog, as well as do some debug stuff. To help me out, try pressing the Debug button, then go to Start and press random hardware buttons. This *should* display a messagebox with the appropriate keycode. Let me know how it goes, thanks

thanks a lot! it works like a charm now
well heres some of the keycode i get on my omnia 7
start = 91
back = 27
search = 124
voldown = 118
volup = 117
really loving the memory info pop up!

Here is your problem with the omnia:
up is 117 and we get like 2/3 messageboxes per single press.
down is 118 same story 2/3 pop ups.
However this is why it does not work when pressing up and down at the same time. We get nothing, no popup messageboxes, only the volume thing comes up, other than that nothing. It seems like it does not register a keypress when both at the same time.
The focus button works flawless indeed.
I know it's not a priority but in case that you need them, I made some more Metro like icons for the app
uptime counter problem ?
Hello,
I think there is a problem with the uptime counter. If the counter reaches 23hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds it resets to 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds.

In mango, if I use back button to reopen a app(mango supported), there is no annoying resuming, and it is pretty good. But if I try to reopen that app through app list or live tiles or toast notification, the app will be restart as though it has never been opened.
It's very inconvenient especially when I use a IM client. Why MS makes it like this???
Because it takes that as a relaunch which is convenient on most apps aside from games. However, it seems like you may not have found the task switcher (just assuming) if you hold the back button it pulls your 5 most recent tasks and allows for a resume.
The OP very clearly stated that the app switcher works fine. But if IM+ is already loaded and available in the app switcher, and you get an IM+ toast, wouldn't it make sense to just switch to the open instance of IM+, rather than killing that instance and reloading from scratch (which can take 20-30 seconds)?

It is an annoying feature of the way the OS works for sure. I have also noticed with IM+ (I think, might have been gchat) that if I get a toast and I am in mid-conversation, pressing back to fast resume doesn't always add the last message from the other person to the chat even though I have had the notification for it.
This is really something that app developers should be allowed to control, some sort of "reuse previously running instance" switch.

I know the 'task switcher', but when i receve a toast notification and click it, just relaunch the app takes long.Since the app is in the task switcher, why not resume it directly.

Nop. It's not.
For some stupid reason WP7 doesnt support multitask for third apps. Not even resume the instance.
If you want to resume the instance, you hold the back button and choose from the lame switcher. It takes so long that it is almost better to just re open the app.
Because it's so much clever you force the user to reopen the app every time he needs it instead of including a way to force close when it needs (like, I dont know, holding the card in the fast switch?). Just like iOS/Android does.
When you resume, you have to wait another 3~4 seconds to see the message.
I tested gchat and beejive for iPhone at the same time. Sent one message, opened from each toast notification (iOS 5). iPhone is about 6 seconds faster to display your message. Now take that to a conversation. Oh, you can use fast switch, yes. So its not 6 seconds, its 'just' 4 seconds faster to EACH message.
Mango didnt saved WP7. Not for me. It just killed all my hopes. Maybe Tango/Apollo?
I'm just waiting to iPhone 4S comes to my country to say bye to my WP7. Which is bad, because I love WP7, dont like iPhone, but hate Androids. Right now WP7 just get me frustated, so my next option is iOS ;/

Hey guys,
I received my Htc One X today.
It's great and all, I love it, but one thing that really annoys me is the menu button (3 dots) which is placed on the screen and resizes the screen (basically makes the screen smaller) on many games and apps, also, it's almost always visible in almost every app/game - very annoying.
I'd suggest if someone could fix that button, like.. remove the button completely from the screen and let apps use the full HD mode, like they're supposed to - and use a hardware button such as volume up/down (if pressed for like 3 seconds) for it.
That would be great and it would really improve the software, I think HTC messed that one up.
A picture to show those buttons:
blog.notebooksbilliger.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/vellamoquer.jpg
And they're always there, always on that side (if not build into the app - which it isn't in most cases), and very annoying when gaming.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance if any pro programmer is going to fix this!
That's not an HTC feature the 3 dots are ICS
The button appears when an app isn't optimized for ICS.

Oh ok. Thanks for the replies.
Maybe, modifying /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl to change that hardware key to MENU from APP_SWITCH will do the trick.

However, my One X is still not here, so can't try that.

The best possible Solution would be long press Task manager to open Menu. But even after that it would be probably necessary to disable the menu bar from poping up.

Re-map task manager to the menu button, and use long press for task manager.
I don't think one can make too much use of the task manager anyways.

I'm not very surprised; the XDA app is sadly pretty mediocre. Most annoying thing is that it insists on showing only thumbnails of images, with no way to see the full image unless you open the thread in your web browser (and even if you do so, it won't take you right to the post you were reading; it'll start you at the top of that page of the thread and make you scroll.)

I absolutely agree. Would be nice if someone could do that and remove the digital menu button / let apps use the full screen.

very true indeed, even on their premium version, their handling of images is a pain
Incidentally, everybody complaining about the menu button would do well to consider that on many phones, you *never* get that real-estate back, because *all* of the buttons are on that bar. The way HTC has done it, if the app is properly coded you get to use the full screen real estate, and you're not wasting battery power on backlighting a bar that's always unavailable to the apps, and always black.
When I've used ICS on my HTC Dz, the button isn't there, so it is definitely possible to instruct ICS not to use the button, if a hardware button is available.
I am pretty sure that it's possible to cook into the ROM.

Yeah, but as you said, your DZ has a hardware menu button. But it's probably possible to use the multitask button as a menu button and keep the multitask menu that way is has been - you open it by long pressing home.

Well I am running ICS on my nexus one and something has been done to that rom in order to not show the three dots, as it has a hardware menu button there is no need for the software one, and whatever they have done prevents it from displaying it so hopefully it could be done here

Really depends. On my phone, the camera button is a bit dodgy now and it takes a harder press to get it working. The software button is a much better solution for actual capture, as you barely need to make contact with the screen to register a tap while a button needs to be properly indented.

On my LG Optimus 7 the hardware button has 2 stages, one when you only touch it and when you press it, touching it softly is focusing, pressing is taking an instant picture. And also the phone does not autofocus.
So for me the software button does nothing than taking a unfocused picture.

But it's apply to PPP protocol stack only.
And all WP7 devices are using RMNET based connection between RADIO and WP7 to gain internet access. So for me it looks useless. PPP was really used before, in old WM65 HTC phones.

Today I got a little bit bored and decide to make this simple app. As the name says, it allows to put the phone in Standby (Lock) with the touch of app's icon. I know that there are many many apps that do this, but maybe in the future I could add other options to it. So far it seems to work fine, I tested it with Jellbro latest nightly and works like a charm. Maybe I am too lazy, but because my phone is on the desk most of the day, I find it not very convenient to press the Power button...

- added Tasks feature
- on some ROM versions the screen my try to turn itself on again after lock, the app will double check and try to lock it again. Please provide feedback if it still does not work.
- minor graphic tweaks
You can find it on Google Play at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alinberce.standbytouch
Feel free to give me suggestions . Also a high rating on Google Play would help. Thanks.
App looks fine and the design is not too bad, however I do not see a point in such Apps, since a simple press on the power button does the same. It is even faster, since one of my fingers is usually very close to it anyway.
But as I said, nice work.
Thanks for this! Just got a metal bumper and its annoying to press the power button.
This works great, nice icon !
Edit: don't know why but sometimes the screen wakes up Again right after sleeping. I can't seem to reproduce the problem, seems random.

Thank you all for your kind words.
@FC1032: I never had my screen turning on after lock, but I did with other apps. I am using a clean install with no apps installed (except keyboard app). Maybe there could be a conflict with other app ? I will restore a bunch of the apps I use and see if I can manage to reproduce this. The app code is fairly simple, just access basic android functions and close itself on clock. Even the Settings page is closed when you leave it
I was thinking of adding some extra features on shutdown... what would you like to do extra, when you send your phone to standby ? How about this: if I set some interval, for instance 10 pm-8am, add some functions like: switch to silent, disable data... etc.
PS: please don't be shy, spread some 5 stars in Google Play, it will help the app to get more users. Thank you all again.

Thanks for this! Just got a metal bumper and its annoying to press the power button.
This works great, nice icon !
Edit: don't know why but sometimes the screen wakes up Again right after sleeping. I can't seem to reproduce the problem, seems random.

Just downloaded the app. Seems to work fine. One thing that will make it more professional is if you proof read your description on the Google Play page.
For example:
Responsibility, not Responsability
Installation, not Instalation
And the word nasTy, unless that T is supposed to be there.
These are nit picky things, but it makes the app and developer look more polished
Good luck!
Interesting request... I see one way of doing this: there is no way I could catch a double/triple touch on the app's icon, as the icon is in a Launcher app. However I could add in Settings an option with Re-Touch for Shutdown popup. Basically the App would start with a black screen, waiting for 1 seconds for another touch, if no touch it goes to standby, if touch it shows the popup. The only downside would be the shutdown command can only be run on a Rooted device (not really a problem for Nexus ).
Are there other users who would find this feature useful ?
@Cyberdan3: thank you for your corrections. Now it's fixed.
PS: thank you all for your ratings in Google Play... the app is starting to get some stars
@FC1032 do you still have screen wake-ups ? I am using the app since release and not even once the screen opened after lock.

I just installed a new rom, seems to be fine so far... maybe it was just an app

Thanks for confirming it.
Nice, this along; with "PGM slide2wake" eliminates most power-button presses.
thanked+rated
Unfortunately it seems that depending on ROM version (I've tested quite a few), sometimes there is a issue with screen starting again after lock. There are two ways of making things, one simpler and one more complex. I will go with the simpler one first and see feedback. I am preparing a new version which will add a really neat feature... but because I want to keep the design path of the settings page, also on the new feature, I will need to spend some time in the drawing app
Sneak preview of the new version... it just entered testing phase
Ok guys, new version is on Google Play. I did not have enough time to make extensive testing so this may have some bugs on the tasks feature. The Task feature allows you to define intervals in which the Sound/Data/Wifi are On or Off. The app, when you perform a lock will check and update the device of the status as set in Tasks. In order to avoid repetitive operations and prevent battery usage, the check is made only ONCE per interval. So for example if you set the phone to be silent from 22 - 07 and you lock your phone at 22:15, if you reopen and use it, when you lock it again, the app will only make simple lock without all the checks again. If some of you prefer it otherwise, please let me know so I could add an extra setting for it.
As I said earlier, there are some ROM versions where the screen comes On again after lock. The only way I found to handle this is to relock the device after half of second again. So you may notice a slight screen on, but most of the time it will not.
Please let me know if you find any bugs. Thanks.
LE: updated first post with new images
I hope this is the correct place to announce the release of my first Tizen App : MultiTimer Pro!

The app is a timer app to compensate for the very limited stock timer app by Samsung. With MultiTimer Pro you can create mutliple timers and store them, or run them in parallel, as you like.
It is available at the Galaxy Store for 0.99$ and I would appreciate all feedback and feature suggestions!

Some Screenshots :
Great app, i think its rare to see people making things for this eco-system.
one suggestion is the addition of widgets.
also maybe a way to add icons from google of something like that?

Yes but the OS is so great, there should really be more devs
Widgets is a good idea, I will take a look into that one! Custom icons is noted aswell but I am not sure if that is really usable on the tiny screen but let's see
Hi,
Nice app, I use timer all the time (and other app Timerro bug since update to Tizen 4)
I see some bugs on your app the "Previous page" (and also "Next page") open a windows like when you would add another timer in place of come back to previous (or next page). It is a window like if we want edit a timer with name "Previous" with blank field for color and time and a button "Delete"
EDIT : after trying to return to the previous or next page my timers order are lost and the app arrange timers on a Ramdom ? way...

Hey,
Thanks for your feedback! I can reproduce the issue.
I will fix it ASAP, but unfortunately releasing updates currently takes over a week because Samsung has such a slow approval proces... Sorry for the inconvenience!
Fix is submitted, also now with default Timer names.
Let's hope it goes through fast...
Widgets up next
Dark Mode
Still waiting for the first update to be approved...
In meantime, I implemented a Dark Mode as a lot of users complained about the bright colors and the low contrast

Dark mode looks great. Which version number will that be, currently I see 1.1.4? Any idea when this will become available?
I've been waiting for over a week for the last update to be approved and you cannot submit a new one while the previous one is under review... But it finally got approved today, and the dark mode version was finished last week but I couldn't submit it until now. It will be version 1.2 and I hope this one will get approved faster but it's out of my hands... Maybe a week?
It took over a week, and now they found a super weird reason to reject the app update.
(Clicking the button on the top right doesn't close the app because it is used for start/stop of the timer, and thus there is no way to close the app directly. I now added a button to the UI to close it... let's see).
So "bug" fixed and resubmitted... fingers crossed it won't take another week....

It is one reason I not like use Tizen Watch. Mainly for timer or stopwatch, just a button to close an app and stop timer or stopwatch (and lost it).....

Do you like being able to use the hardware button to start/stop the timer or would you prefer it closing the app ?

I prefer "Start/Stop" But surely not really close the app, limit send app to foreground but not close. I have a "Stopwatch pro" app, il I press the upper button the stopwatch close and end the count, not acceptable.

Good I think it is usefull aswell. I kept it inside MultiTimer Pro so you can start and stop the timers with the button.
I think it is stupid to have 2 Hardware buttons and both are used for minimizing/closing an app.
Dark Mode
Finally......the dark mode is available!
Updated today from the first version and not worked. Press the app icon do nothing.
Uninstalled and installed again and it works.
Found a bug. I create few timers on 2 pages. I start timers (2 timers) on first page, after I go on the second page, I start other timer and if I want return to the first page with click to the "previous page" Icon, the app stop/crash and all running timers are stopped.

Hello,
this is a known bug, aswell as an issue with deleting timers when you have more than one page.
However, these are already fixed in version 1.5.0 which is already submitted and currently under review by Samsung.
It should be available by the end of the week!
In the coming days a new version will be available that adopts the new OneUI !
Here are some screenshots, I hope you like the new design ( the old ones are still available through the settings )
Also a couple of new icons were added and more are to come!
I'm using the S3 with AOD mode (One UI V1.0). At count end, the app vibe but the screen keep in sleep mode (AOD) and you can not see the Timer end Just feel the vibe (or not....) but do not know why until you unsleep the watch to see the Timer end screen

Hello,
I normally don't use the AOD so I did not realize there was a problem, thank you for reporting I will try to reproduce it and fix it!
