I like the new notification manager from the new roms but is there a way to let it automatically popup if a new notification added?
Or let it automatically open if I turn on my device?
At this time I do this with mortscript but its not comfortable.
it would be nice if that is possible, but i dont think so.
could you please post your mortscript, i'm intersetd in it

It is very short:
WaitForActive ("Start",60)
MouseClick (240,10)
ok, thats short
but it only launches when you run the startmenu? or wich windows is called start?
maybe you should leave it running in the background looping

No I add this script to the notification queue (you can do this with memmaid or Taskmanager v3.1) and it will start after the device woke up.
I found the windows class for the notification it is NtfManagerDlgClass.
But it has no window name so I cant use it correct with mortscript cause mortscript only handle window names.
yes i know i have the same problems with mortscript.
i use it for a lot of things. at the moment i use it with g-trigger in order to start my bluetoothconnection and launch mortplayer with just a shake.
the problem is, the htc comm manager has no window name and it cant be safely controlled or closed by mortscript. still searching for a solution to this.
there must be a way to get a processid or something like this..
Hi there,
I'm new to HTC and navigon. I have installed MN7 but cant rotate it to landscape mode. I have trawled this site.
I have installed the files supplied on this site, have tried gsen and gyrator etc but no luck. Could someone please advise me? Is is possible?
Many thanks.
James
You have to turn the screen into landscape mode already before you start MN7, which means there has to be some content already displayed in landscape when starting mn7. You can't change the orientation whilst mn7 is running.
regards jan
I've attached 2 mortscripts which will shut down TF3D and allign your screen in the right position. The Navigonh.mscr is for the horizontal version obviously. Shutting down the TF3D gives a much smooter experience in Navigon. After closing Navigon the script will restart TF3D again. It also aplies a tweak to your GPS receiver to ensure a steady datastream to Navigon. Basically a must have for everyone using Navigon.
sidenote: I advise a soft reset between each use of the script. I've experienced on several ROM's that the script will not work properly when executed a second time. Don't ask me why, I've been to lazy to look in to that.
Although technically it is not needed to rotate your device into horizontal position before you execute the script, I can tell you from personal experience that it is best to do so.
Credits for this script are not for me. I pulled them from some tread, but I forgot the name of the author. Kudo's for him!
Hi there,
Thanks for your help, much appreciated. However, where do I add these files?
Couldn't see them in my storage card?
I might be a little thick here.
Thanks

I am using HTC Touch HD and can not get landscape mode, have downloaded the zip file but where do i put them. Your help would be very much appreciated.
The scripts need MortScript, so go there http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29.
Here's a short description from the developper :
MortScript interprets a (quite) simple batch language. If you know .bat files in DOS or shell scripts: it's something like that. Its focus is to remote control or launch other applications, not to write real applications. I.e., you can't do complex dialogs or graphics with it.
It's more an hacker tool without a nifty interface, you have to write your scripts with any text editor.
For beginners, this might be a bit too complicated. However, it's still far more easy to use than e.g. C++.
Download MortScript v4.2 or v4.3b11 (b is for beta).
For example, download v4.3b11 and after unzipping the files, go to the cab folder and copy MortScript-4.3b11-PPC.cab (PocketPC version) to your HD.
Rotate your screen, as advised by Maarten, then click on Navigon.mscr.
Its function is to toggle TF3D and run MobileNavigator.
The differences between the 2 Navigon scripts are :
Code:
[U]Navigon.mscr[/U]
# Rotate(90)
[...]
# Rotate(0)
Code:
[U]Navigonh.mscr[/U]
Rotate(90)
[...]
Rotate(0)
If I'm not mistaken, the rotation is inactive in the first script because of the # used for comment.
I've just tried the first script after rotating my screen. I confirm that Navigon was on landscape mode. As I'm at home, I just launched the navigation and heard the first directions in TTS. All the screens (splash screen, favorites, 3D,...) were in landscape.
I'll test it on the road.
Hi I installed the mortscript on my HD I've run the script and all that happens is my TF3D disappears and where the start button is shows the title navigon navigator and thats it. nothing else happens. Any ideas?

Navigon should display its main menu after the title page.
Without running the script, does Navigon MN 7 functions correctly in portrait mode ?

Hi yes it works normally in portrait. Landscape even if not using the script still doesn nothing. in NRG rom 28 oct 2009 release it seems to drain all cpu power and freezes. Any ideas
browse to your navigon folder, open navloader.cfg with pword.exe there you can change the screen settings.
use RotateSCR and change it from 0 to 1
hey! i've got this issue with the mapping of the italian keyboard. The FN key doesn't work, when i press it, it gives me the @ symbol. I wanted to fix the problem my self by editing the file in the rootfs.img, but to open it you need to mount it in Ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu, but i couldn't manage to mount the file, since it's the first time i use linux. I entered in boot mode by typing: sudo bash (it makes me a root user)
then i typed: mkdir mnt/New_folder, but it kept on saying "cannot create directory" . So now i can't create the new folder to mount the rootfs.img !!!! It's driving me crazy!! please help!! I would appreciate if someone could explain me how to do it or fix this thing for me!!! Thanks!!!!!!

*cough* There's fully functional and there's fully functional. Let me explain. You have a keyboard designed for Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5. Some keys in Windows Mobile don't exist in Android. Some of the keyboard combinations that are available on Windows Mobile just aren't available on Android. To get the same functionality in android you thus need to adapt to the android way of doing things. The symbol palette for android is also pretty minimal (just 12 characters) unfortunately. I've submitted a patch to system.ext2 to expand it to 18 characters, but most people won't see the expanded symbol palette until FRX04 is released, probably in late December. So no, you won't get everything that is currently printed on your keys even with my new Italian keymap. Your FN, Ctrl and SYM keys will work. Envelope will be mapped to SEARCH. Internet & SMS won't work because there is no way to assign that sort of functionality to a key without replacing the keycode and losing the rest of the key's functionality.
My suggestion would be to use short-cuts from within android for things like the internet and sms from the keyboard. Once your envelope key is matched to SEARCH in the new keymap you'll be able to do that since short-cuts in android combine the search key with another key. For example, by default, search+b opens up your browser, search+s opens up messaging, search+g opens up Gmail, search+e opens up email, search+m opens up the music player, etc... (These are adjustable from within Settings>Applications>Quick Launch. Personally, on my phone, I've moved messaging to Search+M and the music player to Search+P for easier use since it's awkward to press S while holding down the envelope key.) I'll look into XT9. I'm not sure about that one at the moment as it doesn't exist on my 210.

OK, i understand now. I really cared about the SYM function, the rest doesn't matter so much. Thank you for explaining me!!....i wanted to ask 2 more things.
1) after i changed from :"rhod100it" to "rhod100_it" and rebooted android through the XDANDROID icon, it changed back to "rhod100it", so i have to boot android with haret.exe
after i change it. Will this problem be solved with your rootfs.img? if not, can i solve it on my own?
2)the change i made in startup.txt, made the power button not functional in android. With the power button and the home button(hang call) i used to turn off/on the screen (i changed the function of the home button in the OPTIONS and gave it the function to go back on the home page). Now i can't turn off the screen(i can only turn it on when the screen turns off by it self) unless i put the home button's function back to default. Again, will this problem be solved with your rootfs.img? if not, can i solve it on my own?

The init script in rootfs specifically looks for physkeyboard=rhod100_it in your startup.txt. If it sees that then the Italian keyboard map & layout files will be used. If your startup.txt is being overwritten then I assume you're using some sort of startup utility. That isn't part of the rootfs. Sovereign wrote the startup utility which Reefer packages into his builds. If you're using one of Reefer's builds then you you should talk to Reefer or Sovereign about fixing that so that it works properly in the future for Italian 100's.
2)the change i made in startup.txt, made the power button not functional in andoid.

I wasn't aware that there's an option in startup.txt that makes the power button non-functional. How did you do that? My rootfs.img doesn't touch the power button. It operates as it normally does. It simply adds an option to startup.txt to remap the endcall button to the keycode HOME so that it not only works as home on a short press, but the ability to long press it and get the recent apps list is also preserved. (The software option in spare parts that currently exists doesn't remap the scan code, and thus the ability to pull up the recent apps list is lost.)

That's strange. Your keyboard should have no effect on the power button. In fact, you can't change the power button's functionality from the rootfs where the keyboard is handled, only the kernel. What version of the kernel are you currently running? And please post your startup.txt.

Hi both.
I guess, because all of this happened to me too the very first time I approched to Xdandroid, that if no correct value is found in startup, the default keymap is loaded.
Can't be sure but I think default is Tilt2.
Maybe Tilt2 has power/endcall ... tilted ...
Therefore some language could be more advanced than others in regard of testing branches/key assignments' scripts.
In this regard I am using your personalized rootfs, with endcall/power on power button and home/recent tasks on red button.
For sym I use touch keyboard, which contains all accents. Quite tricky closing and opening, but not as slow as only touch

I copied your startup above onto my phone and I'm having no trouble using the power button to sleep/wake my phone. Now granted, the first time I tried it my phone was incredibly sluggish, and several of my keys seemed to produce 2 or 3 copies of the same letter every time they were pressed. Nevertheless initial sluggishness when you replace an XDAndroid component is a common issue unfortunately. A reboot fixed that and now all seems well with your startup.txt. So it doesn't look like your startup.txt is the source of your problem with the power button. Are you absolutely certain you updated to the 11/24 kernel and not an older one? Your problem sounds very much like a kernel issue.

It would still work as power outside of a phone call. Inside of a phone call you'd just have to press it twice, once to end the call, and then a second time to put the phone asleep.

Well there are two defaults. First there's the keyboard entry in the default startup.txt and second there is the default keyboard if there is no keyboard entry in startup.txt. The first is either a tilt2 or a rhod210 depending on where you pull your startup.txt from. The second is the raphael (touch pro 1), that's what the init script assigns if you don't tell it anything at all about your keyboard.
Therefore some language could be more advanced than others in regard of testing branches/key assignments' scripts.

Currently the key maps/layouts are a hodgepodge. People created them for their own devices, sometimes hex-editing a different model's key map binary instead of creating a source file and then compiling it. So over half the existing keymaps in the rootfs repository lack source files. And it's pretty clear that a lot of the entries were just stabs in the dark by people who didn't understand what they were doing. I'm trying to bring some order to the mess. This project would be taking me far less time if I only did my 210 and stopped there, but I've expanded the project to include all rhod & raph models that we currently have keymaps/layouts for. Currently that's 9 for the rhod & 5 for the raph. I've even created a keymap/layout set for rhodiums with broken keyboards. So make that 10 for the rhod.

You'll have a working SYM key as soon as I get around to updating my rootfs. The Italian and French keymaps are the only two that weren't updated in the Nov. 22nd rootfs I posted. Well they were the only rhodium keymaps that weren't. Still need to do nearly all the raph keymaps, and I haven't even looked at the kovsky keymaps yet...

Certainly. Can you post a pic of your Italian keyboard? I've already adjusted the key layout and decompiled the key map binary. I'm trying to place the same keys in the Italian map that I've added to the other keyboards. I'd like to see what's taken and what's available. We can then discuss alternate places to put those keys if the place I've used on the other keyboards is taken. I already know that fn-a which I've used for { on other keyboards is taken. On the German key map I've moved it to fn-d, but I'm not sure if that's available on your keyboard or not. According to the drawing in the manual it's available, but I suspect the drawing may be wrong since there was a ? there in the binary and I don't see the ? character printed on any of the keys in the drawing.
Preferably I'd like to pick keys that are both intuitive and available on all nine rhodium keyboards that we currently have defined within XDAndroid, and if not all, then at least the five 100's that are currently available in XDAndroid.

Let's keep adherent to the standard.
Just to talk: I don't even know if it's possible to make them work in Android, but the keyb combos I miss most are CTRL+arrows, CTRL+SHIFT+arrows, CTRL+X, CTRL+C, CTRL+V.
All the rest is not very much used, really.
I'll post the picture ASAP.

Rice is very useful in such cases. My good old E71 knows something about it.

Rice? How did you apply your um...treatment?
Just to talk: I don't even know if it's possible to make them work in Android, but the keyb combos I miss most are CTRL+arrows, CTRL+SHIFT+arrows, CTRL+X, CTRL+C, CTRL+V.
All the rest is not very much used, really.

Whether or not these combinations will work is dependent on the application. Android doesn't have a ctrl keycode, but many applications treat the keycode DPAD_CENTER as if it were the ctrl key. So mapping DPAD_CENTER to the scan code for the physical ctrl key gives us a functional ctrl key in many applications including terminal emulator. Four of the five Euro 100's had their ctrl keys mapped to MENU instead in their layout files however. I had to replace MENU with DPAD_CENTER to make the ctrl key work. Everyone I've talked prefers a working ctrl key, but there's probably someone out there who will scream when this change gets committed and subsequently makes it into the auto-build.
I'll post the picture ASAP.
Then will wait for files to update/check

LOL, don't tell me you grandma never told you this secret!!!!
Rice is very, very hygroscopic. Even more than common salt (sodium chloride).
In fact here is common to see rice mixed with salt, as a speedy remedy to keep salt dry.
Only silica sachets are better than rice, but they are very expensive or too small to fit the role here.
I bet everyone will agree that diving an electronic device into salt would not end well.
On the other side, diving an electronic device into rice grains is safe (even if some grain get into it, it's easy to shake them away when all is dried up), and clean (rice doesn't produce as much powder/dust as, i.e., wheat, that could cloak up wet stuff).

My E71 falled into a river, while staying, supposedly safe, into my pocket ... ^_^
A friend pushed me in. On his defence, he didn't know I had it. Happens.
The phone is still fine, after more than 1 year after that unexpected bath.

Yup, that's sure. Never change anything unexpectedly ... or the barbarians will roll over you in seconds.
But no one forbids people to shape their keyboard layout as they like best, right?
So maybe I can help the project a little bit, while learning how to fish so to avoid just asking for fishes, if you know what I mean
Being able to build things on my own gives me a lot more satisfaction than taking/buying them done.

Are you absolutely certain you updated to the 11/24 kernel and not an older one? Your problem sounds very much like a kernel issue.

i'm absolutely sure it's the 11/24 kernel. And besides.....before i changed the rhod100it in the startup.txt everything worked fine! also i have a friend of mine that has the exact same problem, and we both upgraded to the 11/24 kernel...do you know if there will be a new release soon??? it could be my only hope! it's a really weird situation...i don't know why but i have the feeling that when i'll substitute my rootfs with yours, everything is going to work out!! i guess i'll just have to wait until then........

Wow, I never tried, I guess sleepmode 2 is to have it stable while so overclocked ... your battery must by crying, mate!

yeah!! can't get to the end of the day!! is there something i can do to improve it??
EDIT
I just ran android through the startup program (since it overwrites the stratup.txt changing rhod100_it to rhod100it) instead of running it with haret.exe, and the power button works again but obviously i have a crappy keyboard

hi.. thanks for your help..
with ConnectBot, can i edit such a file inside it using simple vi editor ?
for instance, i want to change some configuration file from my server. what i do is, telnet my server, run vi command, and edit that file..
or any FTP client software that have a feature to edit a file ?
thanks..
I haven't tried vi but nano works, although sometimes it bugs out when it's not in a screen session. vi should work, you should be able to input all of the necessary commands in ConnectBot.

after installing ConnectBot from market, i can telnet to my server like a charms..
but the fonts is very very small. if i adjust the fonts by 40x25, it cannot display the long text on the right side
anyway, thanks for your great solutions..
You can switch to landscape in settings...but its a pain the keyboard gets in the way an you only get half a dozen lines on the screen. I think this mode is intended for phones with a hardware keyboard.
Your choices are buy a phone with a hardware keyboard, use a Bluetooth keyboard or wear glasses so you can read the small text.
You can use the volume up/down buttons to change text size
