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.
Displays a bluetooth icon and (if available) wireless icon which, upon pressure, display a context menu to quickly control their status.
how to install
Download the CAB installation package from below
Make sure you remove older versions before you proceed!

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:

Thank you very very much my friend!!!
This app is more than anyone could ask! Really appreciate it!
you should also look up a2dptoggle. it also automates turning on a2dp headset from today screen. a buzz kill to get to thru the menus
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, 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 !!
Tasker is a great automation tool for Android. There are many ways to do tasks and automation so this is simply my way. Feel free to modify for yourself in any way and comment.
I'm using a T-Mobile Galaxy S3 running Anthem AOKP ROM with Android 4.2.2.
DISCLAIMER: If you don't know what fstrim is or does please do not use this guide until you understand fully.
DO NOT USE THIS WITH ANDROID 4.3. Why? Android 4.3 already includes an automated fstrim so you would be redundantly running this.
Assumptions in this guide:
1. You have ROOT.
2. You have Tasker app from the Play Store.
3. You have Secure Settings app from the Play Store.
4. You have Hacker's Keyboard app from the Play Store. Why?? I have not found a way to simulate a "long press" to create the ability to "paste". As a result, I use this keyboard and the 5 row compact layout that allows Tasker to physically touch the Ctrl key and the V key for pasting.
5. You are using the keyguard only, no PIN or Pattern. Tasker and Secure Settings allow this but you must select other options than Keyguard to make it work.
5a. The above is striked out because I was not having the correct success unlocking the "swipe" to unlock. As a result, this guide so far has only worked with no keyguard at all but I'm sure it will work fine if you substitute PIN and Pattern using Secure Settings.
6. You have fstrim utility.
To check if you have fstrim, open a terminal app and type "busybox". Look for fstrim in the results. If you have it proceed, if not you will need a custom busybox or a ROM that has the utility built into it.
The next set of steps will create the required task and then the profile to run the task. In the end, we will run fstrim on 3 partitions and email the output of the results to ourselves. I do this for a "Daily Dashboard" of sorts. You don't need to do the email portion if you don't want. You can always just run the task or create it as an app using Tasker functionality.
1. Open your file manager and create a new file on the sdcard or the extsdcard. I will call my file in this guide "maintenance.log" and I will use the location of "/extSdCard/maintenance.log". You may choose whatever path and filename you wish.
2. Tap on the TASKS tab at the top of the app.
3. Tap the + and name it. I named mine Fstrim.
4. Tap Fstrim task and click the +. Select Plugin > Secure Settings > tap Edit > Wake Device > Screen & Keyboard Lights On. Choose a value. 4 seconds is fine because once the screen is on, it defaults to the normal Android timeout value of the lockscreen before it goes black. (freely change as needed)
5. Tap + and choose Plugin > Secure Settings > Keyguard > Off
5a. See the above 5a. strikeout reason. Here is where you could substitute PIN and Pattern.
6. Tap + and choose Script > Run Shell.
In the Command box, type rm /extSdCard/maintenance.log (this is used to delete the log on each run so we only have the output of the last fstrim run. Use whatever directory you wish to store the log file in and whatever filename you wish to use.7. Tap + and choose Task > Wait > use the up arrow for 5 seconds. (this is built in padding in case of deep sleep issues).
8. Tap + and choose Script > Run Shell > put these 4 commands in the Command field and tick the "Use Root" check box.
date >> /extSdCard/maintenance.log
fstrim -v /data >> /extSdCard/maintenance.log
fstrim -v /system >> /extSdCard/maintenance.log
fstrim -v /cache >> /extSdCard/maintenance.log9. Tap + and choose Display > System Lock
10. Tap on the TASKS tab at the top of the app.
11. Tap the + and name it. I named mine Maintenance Email.
12. Tap Maintenance Email task and click the +. Select Plugin > Secure Settings > tap Edit > Wake Device > Screen & Keyboard Lights On. Choose a value. 4 seconds is fine because once the screen is on, it defaults to the normal Android timeout value of the lockscreen before it goes black.
13. Tap + and choose Plugin > Secure Settings > Keyguard > Off.
13a. Again, here you can choose PIN and Pattern instead of keyguard.
14. Tap + and choose Task > Wait > use the up arrow for 5 seconds. (this is built in padding in case of deep sleep issues).
15. Tap + and choose File > Read File > put the location and filename in the field. > In "To Var" type %filecontents. (You can choose any variable name you wish).
16. Tap + and choose Misc > Set Clipboard > in the "Text field type %filecontents.
17. Tap + and choose Task > Wait > use the up arrow for 5 seconds. (this is built in padding in case of deep sleep issues).
18. Tap + and choose Net > Compose Email > put the recipient (yourself) and fill out Subject line.
19. Tap + and choose Task > Wait > use the up arrow for 5 seconds. (this is built in padding in case of deep sleep issues).
20. Tap + and choose Script > Run Shell > put these 3 commands in the Command field and tick the "Use Root" check box.
input tap 90 1232
input tap 320 1123
input tap 664 10021. Tap + and choose Task > Wait > use the up arrow for 5 seconds. (this is built in padding in case of deep sleep issues).
22. Tap on the PROFILES tab at the top of the app.
23. Tap + and choose Time. You only need to set whatever time you want in both "From" and "To" in order to have the task run every 24 hours. You shouldn't need to set the time with minutes in between. For example, I run mine at 4:30 every morning so both "From" and "To" are set to 4:30. Change this accordingly if you feel you need to.
24. Make sure your PROFILE is set to On.
25. Make sure Tasker is running, long press the gear icon at the top left when the app is open. You will see a toast notification that says enabled and when you exit the app, the running icon will be at the top left in your status bar.
26. Enjoy!
***Reserved***
I have edited some of the steps to remove keyguard as it wasn't working right for me on my ROM. Others may have luck but use PIN/Pattern instead.
Also, I was able to use the Input Method switcher in Secure Settings as well so you can add that option to change back to your preferred keyboard if you do not wish to use Hacker's Keyboard all the time.
Mine was done at 4:30AM so while there was minor catch up switching the keyboards, it wasn't an issue by the time I started using my phone in the morning.
Another side point, the specific input tap commands are static locations of where the "send" button for Gmail would be located. If you are using a different email app you would go to your developer options and enable the option to see input touches and grab the appropriate X,Y coordinates. The same is for Hacker's Keyboard as well. They should always appear in the same location so my coordinates should work.
Let me know if it's not clear or you have any other questions.
Is it possoble to get me to press a bitmap and male ot shrink while making a different one grow?
Yes this can be achieved. With any type of toggle input you will need to create a Tasker task which will toggle a variable on or off. You can then output this variable to Zooper and use a conditional to act upon the variable state (in this case you would want to use the bitmap scaling function on each of the bitmaps) then set the module on tap element of both bitmaps to the task shortcut in order to activate it.
The speed at which this works would be dependant on your phone/tablet so it might not work particularly fast.
Is there a video for this? Im kinda confused but im understanding it a little more.
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
This isn't a video but should help you to create the toggle in Tasker: http://www.pocketables.com/2013/03/how-to-create-a-toggleable-task-in-tasker.html
After you have got that working you just need to add another action so press + in your task then select plugin, and then Zooper Widget Pro.
In configuration enter the Tasker variable in ZW Text (remember the %) and enter a name in ZW Variable which you want to use in zooper, this can be anything you want. The convention is to use all capitals for Zooper variables buy it is not necessary.
Once you have saved this you will see that Tasker has added #T to the start of your variable and another # at the end, this is what you will be using in zooper.
Exit from the task with the < icon in the top left corner until you are back at the task page. This is important as it saves your task and also you will not be able to access the task shortcut from Zooper (or any other app for that matter) as Tasker will still be in edit mode.
Right, in your zooper widget call up one of your Bitmaps and go to advanced parameters. Enter this code , changing the variable name to what you have chosen
PHP:
$#TTASK#=1?[s]50[/s]:[s]100[/s]$
This tells Zooper to display bitmap at 50% if #TTASK# is set to 1 or 100% otherwise
Go to module on tap, select the Task Shortcut from the shortcuts menu, then select your task from the list - It will probably prompt you to select an icon. Do that and you have finished that bitmap. Now repeat the parameters in the other bitmap but change =1 to =0 so it is reversed then you are done.
Hopefully I haven't missed anything but let me know if you encounter any problems.
I almost got it, when i tap the picture it just switches between hello and world its probly my tasker but ill show u a screenshot

You've misunderstood me a little there, probably my fault.
In Zooper configuration enter %Toggle as the ZWText. It need to be the variable you have already defined in tasker, otherwise you are telling tasker to output a variable that you are not setting.
Also, you can just put one zooper plugin activity after the End If instead of having two separate statements as Tasker will read this last and update then.
Dude the man it works now
When I'm done with the widget I'll tell you so u can see what I shud improve, ATM I have 2 five nights at Freddy's widgets posted if u wanna check them out
Yo, the doors work for the toggle, but I'm trying to make chika and bonnie pop up on screen after a certain time that they show up at the doors
So basically, can I make a timer that that is triggered by one bitmap showing up and when it goes to zero a different bitmap pops up?
