TERMINATOR 4: SALVATION - a new notification style

Just inspirated by the first trailer of T4
www.terminatorsalvation.com
(btw: who's afraid the next movie? ;-) )
I've made a new notification of message.
It covers and manipulates of whole screen of any Windows Mobile device
(PPC or Smartphone), no matter what is on the screen,
at the moment when the new message received.
I like the idea of this trailer, when title music and video frames, try to break our normally wathed screen.
It's fun to have something similar in personal computer. To have some spice in mobile device.
Of course, if we aren't afraid, this will happen in the future. For real.
So, this notification replaces the default notification of message,
in a style of the above T4 trailer.
Several screen deformations and manipulations are built-in.
Below screenshots are samples only.
In reality, the smooth animation of visual effect is playing,
together with the title sounds (music).

It plays a sound, only when your Profile allows you, and the alerts volume is more than zero.
Functions:
You can switch directly from this notification to reply to the Sender of message: UP/DOWN KEY or TAP-MOVE vertically.
You can switch directly from this notification to the Inbox: LEFT/RIGHT KEY or TAP-MOVE horizontally.
You can play the notification again: ACTION.
To close this notification: ANY OTHERS buttons, or just tap on the screen anywhere.
Because of Warnerbros. copyright, I realized this version as freeware.
And I have no deal with them.
Another way, I think this is a good example,
how the advertising could be positioned (placed) into mobile devices, without users action needs.
This program (notification) user installs on your device, and that's all.
There is no settings, no user-enable application, no dialog, nothing to use.
Then user will not see any icon or running program.
It displays on the screen, and become enabled, only when new message is incoming.
Imagine, the top content of this notification could be downloaded from some network server,
and automatically. What I have not included in this version.

Finally, it displays the last received message (scrolled up from the bottom of screen).
In the background, it displays (some time) a Sender photo, if it's found in your Contacts.
The above screenshot is just a sample, you will see there some photo from your Contact.
And the text of message will scroll up from the bottom of screen, till a whole message will display.

Eeee... freeware files:

http://www.jgui.net/t4.notification/T4.NOTIFICATION.SETUP.cab
(please do not copy theses files, only link to these url if you want)
Due to reason of notification, it's recommended to install in main memory.
This is alpha version, I just tested in a few devices a week only.
I don't know if everything is fixed there now. Please try.
Uninstaller is included.
You cannot just break this notification. You have to unistall.

Problems/bugs

Well I'm also the happy owner of the TP2... But if have some issues/bugs that maybe some of you have a solution for.
When I restart my phone, sometimes manila doesn't start at all.
So I start it up manually, but then it seems that parts are not working. Like quantity notifications of the messages...
Also the device sometimes gives a message that it cannot connect to the gprs, while I have a network connection and other phones have no problem with the same provider. And then I notice that the H sign is very weird and there's no info about it in the manual.
Here you can see an image, the red arrow points to the weird symbol.

You can only modify the total sound volume and not ring or phone volume. That's not handy because my sms sound is too low.
Is there a tweak to change the soft touch buttons? Like Phone - Camera buttons to change to contact - sms or something else...
Greetzzzzz

pfffffffffffff
This is really ennoying... My battery was low and phone shutted down.
So I connection the power supply, started the phone and yeah AGAIN... stupid Manila doesn't start. No feature started.. I feel like throwing it away now.
Hope someone has a solution to it?

One issue solved...
Well I uninstalled SPB gprs monitor and now manila starts up fine.
I also set a delayed startup for S2U2 for about 20s, so that manila starts up first.

these have nothing to do with htc touch pro2 itself dude!
it's about the rom you installed in it,so pls return to your technician to get a good rom!
it's like you have super good pc,but the windows xp you installed is crap,then your pc will always get this problem and that......
FYI: rom means: OS(wm 6.5 for example)+Radio(GSM etc)+Extrom(touchflo 3d etc)

hello everyboby,
For the strange color of the "H" icon, it's mean you don't receive grps correctly in the place you are.Try to move to see a change.
For your problem of the TF3D's starting, i have the same problem when S2U2 was installed, see in the forum you can find a special version modified for TP2.
Hope, it can help you.
PS: excuses my english, i'm french
PS: nokiadashi, please change your font size and color. And try to answer with a different explication that's a problem with ROM like the differents reply that you post
bye to all

[IDEA/REQ] Phone logg / taskmanager

I have an idea of an ap that would be cool if someone would create
take like a logg for the phone where you can see what have hapend on the phone
say i play some music and then i send a sms and i get a missed call
then i can go back to the logg with press of a button i can there see what music have been playing what time and when call came in and when i sent sms and to who..
if the program for that task is still active (like the mp3 player) the border around it could be another color and clickable to bring that program up like on a taskmanager
trying to ilustrate here with a badly made picture what i mean
*oh and sorry for bad english

i hope you all understand my concept

Interesting... But how to implement such a feature... It would require to hook into every application to capture everything that happens on the phone and write it away to a logfile.

just a logg program that can logg what hapens to "tmail.exe" and phonecalls and such things ther is already... and for mp3 whell that was just example... i mean how hard could it be to make a program that runs in the background and checks what "exe" file you pressed? and then report "xxxx-xx-xx @ xx:xx" opend opera browser
and so on?
i think this could be a realy nice app if done
and i was thinking of just having it 24hour way so not that much will be in it that make it "slow"
maybe a setting that you can change "i want logg for x hours"
a catcher that catch what file being opend
a catcher that catch all call logs
a catcher that catch all mail / sms
you already today have aps that does this but 1 and 1 not anything like this that loggs it in an easy to read way
thats a good start?

so im the onlyone thinking this could be something realy nice and big? :O

If you were the programmer, you're understand that it is almost impossible to track every program on PDA. Maximum is to record what happens within PIM/Calls. For any other soft it would be required to create plugins that support needed apps. But I can't imagine for what such kind of program may be useful.

call recording app

Has anyone found a call recording app that actually works on our phones? I have tried 6 or 8, most of them "are not compatible with our devices". One I found (Total Recall) may work, but not having an engineering degree, I could not at all figure out whether it does.

Call recorder

I second the one above ( I think it's the same as this ):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder
I've tried easily 10 others, including Total Call Recorder. Skvalex's was the only one that worked flawlessly, and the customization is great. If it complains to you about your kernel missing the patch, test it anyways, because I had that error yet it still worked.

Thanks to both of you, it works like a charm! Since you both have used it, do either of you know if there is a way to turn it on in mid-call? I am an investigator and I usually chat with the person for a few minutes to prep them for my questions. Being able to do that would make it 100% perfect.

There is an option for that in the app, and it shows up for me by default. There should be a green record button ( switches to a red pause button if the app is recording ) showing up on your screen whenever your calls connect. If it isn't, try toying around with the settings ( sorry, I'm not sure which option it is, but I know it's in there ). You can also set it to exclude recording all calls by default if you want to manually start call recording when you're ready instead.

Question Individual app nofications issues? (non system tones)

Just upgraded to the Poco F3 from Mi 9T pro (which was on Android 10 miui 12) and have just noticed that when i select a personal notification tone (a non sytem notifcation tone) the tone does not work - When i get a notifcation it vibrates but there is no sound - Swap the notication to one of the system tones and works fine!!
Now i had a number of different apps with personal tones setup on my previous phone (email, ring doorbell, sms etc) and they all worked fine - but despite setting it all up the same way (folder location etc) they just don't work at all on my Poco F3
Anyone have the same issues (has anyone tried lol) - is this a Poco F3 issue or the only other difference is Android 11 rather the 10 (maybe they need to be saved in a different folder than previous andriod version?
FYI - Personal Ringtones and alarms work fine BTW - is just notication tones which is an issue

Go to settings, notifications, app notifications. Click on the app for which you want to change the notification tone. Select a notification category. For example, I am in the message notifications category for whatsapp in the provided screenshot. As it can be seen, I can change the tone by clicking the "sound" button. Try changing it from here and then check if it works or not.

Hi.
Yeah can change the tones no problems, i can select any system or personal tone and it saves the changes ok (ie for sms I can select a personal tone where Yoda says 'a message of text you have" for example) but when I get a text it just vibrates, selected tone will not sound.
However doing the same but selecting any preinstalled notification tone it works fine

Try applying the tone from the settings inside the messages app. Other than than i have no suggestions sorry bro

Thanks - Doesn't make any difference, each of those methods all takes into the same place to select tone anyway.
Anyone else been able to apply a downloaded notification tone ok?
