I've had a look at a few programs and they all require command line changes to set up specific option. I have no idea how to get this to work with WM5.0 and no ammount of Googling and forum searches has helped. I know what to do in a desktop environment but there is no option for mobile based applications. Can anyone tell me how to add command line options to a program or shortcut on WM5.0?
total commander
Thanks
EDIT: NVM me a fool...
if you just want to launch an app with command line hold down the action key (the one in the middle of the d-pad) then long-tap the clock / battery icon area on the top bar. Release the action button and a popup menu will appear giving you the "RUN" option just like on a desktop PC.

Oh, wow! That is a very handy bit of information!
Sorry to bring up such an old thread, but I haven't been able to get this d-pad trick to work (in WM6.1). The app just opens as soon as I press down the center button. I've also been trying to do it through Total Commander but I haven't been able to figure out where to specify the options. I've been at this for two days. Can someone please point me in the right direction so I stop feeling like an idiot? Thanks.
Hey, if you are like me and are so lazy that you can't stand to do an absolute minimum amount of work, and you use Internet Explorer 7, than this tip is for you!!!!
You can add google search xda developers to your inline search box at the top right of your IE7 window. It only takes a few steps to add this, and you can have it in your IE7 search box for convenient google searching of xda developers any time you want.
or if you prefer the old way, the instructions are still located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304582
Follow these steps (they look like a lot, but they are simple):
1. Go to the regular google / XDA developers search url
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
2. Type the word TEST (all caps) into any one of the search boxes ( with all of the words, with the exact phrase, with at least one of the words) that google offers you (depending on how you most like to search xda developers) (if you type TEST into the "with all the words" field, that is the default google search method)
3. press "google search"
4. Copy the url of the current page you are on
5. click the little pull down arrow next to the picture of the magnifying glass in you IE7 search box
6. on the pull down menu click "find more providers"
7. on the page that comes up, there is a yellow box on the right side of the page that says "create your own" paste the url that you had previously copied into the first text field in the yellow box
8. In the second text field in the yellow box type the name that you want your new search shortcut to be called (I just called mine XDA DEV)
9. click "install" in the yellow box
10. A dialogue will come up with the final options (you can click cancel to quit at this point) you can click add provider to add it as one of your search shortcuts, or check the "make this my default search povider" box to make it the one that is automatically seen in that search box when you start IE7.
11. Success!!! if you didn't already add it as your default search provider, then you can pull down the box with the little arrow next to the magnifying glass and select it whenever you want to search xda developers quickly and conveniently through google.
12. to also add google search the XDA wiki, repeat these same steps, except with this as the url for step 1:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q= +site:http://wiki.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
13. You could also use these steps to google search any website, or even use the website's own search engine too
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same can be done for firefox 2 and I'm using it myself.
There is a standard keyword on google to search a specific site, so in this case, go to google, type your search, and then site:forum.xda-developers.com
eg On google, to search for vijay555 within the forum, type
Code:
vijay555 site:forum.xda-developers.com
Mike: I didn't notice any large, detrimental features in IE7. Firefox is still probably the way to go, but I tend to drift between the two depending on how much WMV porn I'm watching.
Actually, I use my own browser, VJMultiBrowser, which IMHO is nicer then both, but that's another story.

Google gives no results when searching for VJMultiBrowser?
mestrini: VJMultibrowser has never been released, to anyone except BuzzLightyear. It's very very much built around how I work, but it's been my main browser for a few years (ie since I wrote it), although obviously it's in continuous development.
That is in fact a problem, I've squeezed so many things in there, I forget what it can do. I just remembered that it has a flick gesture for flicking to the next page in a set of documents, eg, flick mouse left/right to go from
http;//forum.xda-developers.com/p=1436702
to
http;//forum.xda-developers.com/p=1436703
etc
Anyway, yeah, it's never been released, hence no information on it, but I recently made up a bit of an overview/description of it for the recent LifeHacker.com non-Firefox browser wars. However, I think I went slightly outside the limitations of the competition (they wanted a max image size of 1280*1024). There was too much to fit in, so I think I got disqualified. However, if you wanna have a look, check out the image below.
I suggest that you first put your browser in fullscreen mode (press F11), and then scroll right to the bottom first, to see how I use it in a 1x3 (ie 4 browser panes) setup normally. Then scroll back up the graphic to see some of the main features (but not all!).

VJMultibrowser - Features Part 1
PS: Some of the features, as described to LifeHacker.com
VJMultiBrowser is a browser “shell” I started working on some time back. Necessity was the mother of its invention – I worked in an office that had banned use of Internet Explorer. As such, I started discreetly using a custom version of Internet Explorer in Kiosk Mode to have a very low profile browser – no chrome at all, and no easy way to navigate.
I then started working on the MiniBrowser, a single browser with minimal chrome, ie very low profile interface, designed to use 99.5% of the available screen space for the browser, using only a tiny area for the necessary interface (Back, Forward, Home, Refresh, Save etc).
I quickly realized that for most efficient use while browsing, I would typically need at least 4 windows to be open simultaneously. This gave birth to VJMultiBrowser. The browser starts off as a single browser window with low profile interface. However, as required, up to three sibling browsers can be spawned to join the parent. Each browser is color coded in the top right so as not to lose track of them.
Each browser can be used to drag and drop using the MiniIcons in the top right near the navigation bar. Thus one can stay within the same browser window but drag off interesting links to its three brethren easily. The target browser will show a fluorescent green highlight to show it’s the required drop target, and if it’s currently obscured, it will jump up to the top to show which browser you are dropping into.
The home icon can also be used as a drag icon (to drag the current URL) and also as a drop target (eg highlight a URL in Word and drop it onto the home icon and it will navigate there).
The address bar and page title can be resized or completely hidden if not required. The home icon can optionally display the URL and Title as a Balloon, so no interface is required unless needed.
The address bar is a full command line – apps can be run, calculations performed, or jump to various shortcuts and favorites. Favorites and URLs will be autocompleted.
The concept is that I can use 4 browsers as a super-tabbed browser: 4 mini tabs accessible from each browser, and each browser can be hidden or viewed by clicking on its associated miniicon. Each browser can be maximized, closed, toggled in height, shrunk to an icon (MicroIcon mode) for non-obtrusive browsing. Each browser can be freely resized, or optionally docked together (like Winamp) and joint resized in proportion. Browsers can be resized using the numeric keypad for presets, or the cursor keys for pixel perfect resizing.
Layouts and current browsing sessions can be saved and reloaded by double clicking an icon or drag dropping a session onto the navigation bar. A single click can also resize the 4 browsers to quarter full screen (ie each browser takes a quarter of the screen), quarter non-full screen (same, but not the whole screen is used), explorer layout (1 large browser, 3 vertically adjacent mini browsers) etc.
Although typically 4 browsers are sufficient, for occasional usage you can “clone” either a fully featured MutliBrowser, or its little brother, the MiniBrowser. MiniBrowsers have full functionality, but have an even lower profile chrome/interface, ie just a context sensitive back and forward button, a home icon for drag drop saving etc, and a mini address bar. MiniBrowser are designed for temporary usage, and specialized usage, eg popping up Alexa information, a list of links on the page etc. Lists of links etc can be live filtered by typing the required path into the Mini Browser address bar.
A non complete list of features (as it’s in continuous development, and also, I forget all the little things built into it!):
* Built in command line from address bar - do calculations, run applications, aliases, live search and highlight, path navigation (with one button navigation up and down the website/directory path).
* File explorer – will navigate through local system to replace the Windows Explorer with a 4 pane multi-explorer.
* Use of customisable command aliases in address bar eg:
g] LifeHacker = google lifehacker
m] Bourne = find times for films containing Bourne
i] Bourne = imdb query Bourne
TRF to translate to French, TRG to translate to German etc.
* Aliases for most popular search engines, eBay, Movies.com, Wikipedia, IMDB etc. All aliases are user configurable
* Some Greasemonkey and embedded Javascript support, and customisable advanced bookmarklet support (can inject javascript and CSS sheets directly into the page. Optionally disable scripts, CSS and frames).
* CSS remover and rewriter.
* Built in WYSIWYG HTML editor.
* Live search type-ahead Google searches with one click access to searches and "I'm feeling lucky" targets (eg, start typing LifeHa, and press Ctrl + 1 to execute a Google search on the most popular hit for that search. Press Ctrl + Alt + 1 to go directly to LifeHacker.com).
* Live highlighting, eg start typing in Life and all references to Life will be highlighted, and a popup showing the hit count will appear. Quickly navigate forward and back through hits using F11 and F12.
* Live zoom in and out, and rotation (clockwise and anticlockwise). Can be used on websites and while image viewing – particularly useful when used in Explorer replacement mode, to browse through a folder full of images.
* Optional alpha transparency for the browser.
* Optional ghost mode for true transparent browsing – makes a selected colour on the webpage transparent, to allow viewing through webpage onto desktop etc. This is useful for example docking a display of live stock prices on the desktop, but not obscuring screen in any way.
* Gesture recognition for most important browsing functions.
Eg mouse drag left/right to go forward back, mouse drag up/down to navigate up and down directory path, button + drag to get special context menu for shortcuts, favorites etc. Browse with mouse only, no forward and back clicks required.
* Can host both the Internet Explorer and Mozilla browser for the best of both browser engines.
* Ad blocker, using customisable list of blockable urls.
* Anti-phising filter.
* Anti-spoofing filter and blocker (will catch rule defined exploits and warn before displaying the page, or optionally present a text only view of the page to disarm the spoof).
* Popup blocker, with optional override (either force popup into parent browser, or into a mini-browser so as not to obscure main session).
* Popup history to show URLs of overridden popups.
* Session based Browsing History (optionally saveable, by default erased on close). Color coded history shows what webpages were viewed by which Multibrowser.
* Form Filler – single click form filler to fill forms with generic, predefined form data eg Name, Address, Telephone) or fill in a form, save that data, and re-use pre-saved data to fill in that form on request.
* Save multi-browser layouts as shortcuts to reload and resume pre-defined browsing sessions with one click (eg have a folder on your desktop containing special layouts for News, RSS, Local Drives, YouTube).
* Image extractor (will present a list of all images on the page).
* Link extractor (will present a list of all links on the page).
* Site summarizer (will present a list of all links on the page with associated neighboring text, to quickly summarize the contents of a long page of links).
* Shortcut/Alias access to Alexa data and WhoIs data (presented in a mini-browser to not obscure main browsing session).
* ThumbNailer (will inject thumbails into links on the current page to see what the destination looks like).
* Built in RSS news reader.
* Optional Magnetized windows (like Winamp) to allow window docking and for the docked windows to be dragged as a group).
* Built in scratchpad/notepad with drag and drop save.
* Built in HTML to Text and HTML to PDF conversion. Merely drag the Home icon onto Notepad, Word etc and it will be automatically converted. Optionally right drag the home icon to save the URL only as text.
* Built in Speech engine to speak page or selected text.
* Zapper – remove any annoying page element (eg flashing adverts) by moving mouse over the element and pressing ctrl + z.
* Cropper – select required selection on the page and choose menu option to crop the entire page just to the selection: useful when printing only selected parts of a complex web page.
* Built in Favorites searching with wildcard searching and session saving.
* Gesture-based Favorites popup – Favorites presented as a popup menu by merely flicking the mouse.

VJMutlibrowser - Features Part 2
Some more of the features (messages have a limit of 10,000 characters. Who knew!?)
* Drag and drop search for Dictionary references, Google and Wikipedia (merely drop a selected word or phrase onto the navigation menu and a popup for each of these searches will appear). No keyboard required.
* Any corner dragging – resize the Browser from any corner using tiny drag handles in each corner. Alternatively use the efficient Multibrowser Gripper in the top right to drag and position the window, (left click and hold), resize the window (right click and hold), maximize (double click), minimize, toggle size etc.
* Desktop docking - immediately dock to any corner or edge. Use cursor keys for pixel perfect placement.
* Resizable Breadcrumb bar to allow single click navigation through local and web paths (eg, http://www.google.com/images/deviants, clicking on ‘images’ will immediately navigate to that URL. Also for local file browsing, eg in a path C:\Documents and Settings\MP014292\Desktop, clicking ‘C:\’ will browse to C:\.
* Status bar – hidden by default, can be displayed, resized. Carries an item history to see browser ‘status text’ all previous items. Will automatically extract embedded items like YouTube movies, flash games etc so they can be saved locally with one click.
* Optional keyboard only link navigation – jump to selected links, eg alt + 6 to jump to the 6th link on the page.
* Unlimited MultiBrowser and MiniBrowser clones – if more then 4 browers are required, more fully function browser windows can be spawned at the click of a button. MiniBrowsers (limited functionality browsers for displaying popups etc) can be similarly spawned.
* Custom error screen – if page cannot be found, a Google search will immediately be initiated, with links to Google Cache, Internet Archives, different domain suffixes (eg, Vijay555.com, .org, .co.uk etc)
* Single click appending of www. .com, www. .net, www. .co.uk, www. .org etc.
* Lots of other stuff I forget.
* 238k, installed. No spyware.

Note that the screenshot doesn't show all features. But hopefully gives some idea of how it works. All browser panes are freely resizeable etc though, so you can have any layout you want.

Use the XDA-Developers Toolbar,
Take a look at it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330587
Firstly, I apologize for so a terribly novice question; I have looked and googled but part of my problem is I believe I am asking the question wrong.
So, I am just trying to build a VERY simple wp7 program. Main page would have several buttons, which pressing would take you to a page with information on the topic of the button you just pushed, and with another button back to the home screen. Again, very simple. For example, it could be an app of The Rolling Stones, and each button would be a link to a band member's small bio. Nothing too fancy, just dipping my toes.
My problem is I cannot find the action I need to attribute to a button. I can build the home screen and add buttons and text easy enough, and make the other "pages" or screens, but I do not know how to make the button navigate to those pages. And every search I do results in explanations of how to add web links, which is not what I want to do.
Sorry for the newb question, but I appreciate all responses and advice.
There are several ways to do the job:
1. - Define "Click" event for Button (double click on button in designer or on events properties);
- Add "using System.Windows.Navigation;" at the top of your main page .cs file;
- Add "NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/NewPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));" to the "Click" event handler
2. - Open you page in Expression Blend;
- In the "Assets" (left top corner) window select "Behaviors";
- drag "NavigateToPageAction" to your button;
- fill "TargetPage" property (at the right top corner)
3. You may also manually edit your page.xaml source (see the source changes after using method 2)
Put any Button on the Page, simply Double Click that button, this will generate by Default a Click Action Event Handler, in this write the following
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("PageName.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
also, you should NOT add buttons to go back, developers are encouraged to have users using the hardware key for going back as you are simply adding more and more to the Navigation Stack which is responsible for keeping track of the users Navigation through Apps, kind of like your Web Browser, you navigate to google,. then 10 pages later, and if you navigate back by URL rather than the built in "GoBack" function for the browser, you end up clicking the back button a hundred times going forward to the page you stopped looking for information then to every page in between which you navigated through to get to that information, it just uses more Memory and for a users experience you should not use buttons that go back let the user control the flow
Good luck on your app mate
Heya all.
Changelog:
1.1 - Added orientation switch and propagation (open "Reading Now") to Nook reader
1.0 - Initial release with home and CoolReader option.
Working on:
Investigating the way to distinguish if opening reading now book and not other epubs in order not to show menu on any library book click.
History/Idea:
Just got nook last Sunday as gift and immediately noticed after root that back/menu buttons in status bar is great, but would be even better to use book button as home OR as menu, was messing with framework, etc. to no avail, but finally got a better and simpler solution, but with cons.
After installing CoolReader I noticed that "reading now" button will trigger android select app menu with Nook Reader and CoolReader, so it is broadcast event, opening with CoolReader shows it is getting started epub.
So, here it is. Simple app, registers as one of the epub readers, by having last read in native nook reader any epub - and by pressing "reading now" button it will trigger app select dialog with my app in list (you can check to always open epubs with it).
It will show styled popup menu (see screenshot) containing only Home (will open default one or list of available homes if none selected as default), orientation switch, CoolReader shortcut (hardcoded now) and Nook Reader (this one will open remembered "Reading Now" book)
Cons:
1. Will be triggered on any broadcast event to open epub. (I don't care as I read in fb2)
2. If nothing in "reading now" it will not be triggered as well if "reading now" is not epub
3. hardcoded shortcuts for now
If it generates enough interest I can improve app (in current state functionality is enough for me). I could think of adding next features:
1. Add/Configure any shortcuts, e.g.:
* Back/Menu buttons in addition to home (this will required root to run)
* Add/Configure any shortcut
2. Add ability to propagate event data, e.g. if "reading now" sending "warandpeace.epub" to this app - send it to launching app if configured. This will allow to register this app to open epub and then open configured reader with epub data - done, besides configuration
3. Investigate launch origin (launching activity) and if it is not opening from status bar, but for example from astro/library - open configured reader propagating data.
4. Organize shortcuts as tree
5. Add recent apps submenu
Really interesting
It could even replace Button Savior in a subtler way
BTW, in the same spirit, do you know if it could be possible to change the app launched when you click on the home button in the menu that appear when you press the n button ?
hi,
i tried it and it works great, thanks!!
isn't it possible to launch the default app automatically, when pressing the button?
(on a side note: wouldn't it be possible to reconfiger the home button of the standard nook menu (the one that opens when you press the n-hardware-button) to launch the default android home?app?
edit: ok, somebody was quicker, i swear i didn't copy..

Consider my interest highly generated. This is flat out great, especially if the option to go to Reader is built into Nook Book Button menu, and with the options of Back and Menu. I like Button Savior, but this has all of the same potential with a less obvious footprint and more seamless execution.
I'm running it now and this is really fun - if #2 can be done as well I see this as becoming an indispensible app for the nook touch root.

Thanks. I'm trying to get a clue if it was launched from "Reading now" button or from other app. I can easily distinguish between "Reading now" and let's say Astro, but cannot distinguish from Nook Library.
And... great news - I'll post update soon with working landscape/portrait button.
Working on: opening only from "Reading now" or other nook app, but skips to configured reader otherwise. Also, instead of CoolReader I'll have configured reader in the menu.
For the back/menu buttons this will require root.
It is possible to change "n" button, I have it configured as Search button and assigned SoftKeys to search button long press. I'll post instructions soon as well as modified SoftKeys to handle Search long press without need of external app and also with a bit more friendly colors for eInk (background of recent apps white instead of blured)

Do you mean just to launch let's say CoolReader instead of NookReader by the press of "Reading now" button?
I think you've done a great job. and I guess adding a list of (programmable) shortcuts on that button would be neat (like when copying several chunks of text from a pdf to a doc text or something of the sort).
Ok, story number 1:
I dissembled (smali) framework jars and now have good idea how that book button works, basically it send custom broadcast, problem is that broadcast not ordered, I can change service.jar to broadcast mine event and this will allow to configure how to act, e.g. you can configure as default (reading now so I'll just send original broadcast), popup this menu or launch any app including home or softkeys directly.
Will play a bit more if androidriority indeed works even for unordered sendBroadcast and if I can abortBroadcast to not allow original reader spawn - we can avoid modification of the service.jar.
story 2:
WindowManagerPolicy/WindowManagerService seams like directly invoking native (JNI) code on home button, I was playing with remapping keys and finally found one that works with single press (Call not bringing dialer at all, camera only sends broadcast at long press, etc.), but by default it will not awake device, will have to play if I can awake from broadcastReceiver, if yes - it means we can configure "n" (home) button to do whatever we want.
Well, I don't use coolreader, but the extra home button and portrait/landscape button works very well.
Great job!
For me, the only thing missing is adding 2-3 apps on the list, and I'll be quite happy.
I don't use the N button much, but it could become a neat menu or back button.
Great App
Thanks for spending time making this app for us Nook Touch users.
I think this app is definitely a candidate for partial refresh. Having the full screen refreshed to draw the small dialog seems to be overkill. Not sure if that's under your control or not...
I definitely have an interest in remapping the N button to home. Perhaps long press launches the original menu?
cheers! gr8 post,

thats what i meant! launching just one app automatically, let's say cool reader.. (maybe launching the home app automatically would also be possible? then we would have all the standard buttons in the task bar!)

Well, I've noticed that not all apps are turnable (haven't tried all yet, but I can spend like 30 minutes trying them all).
BUt great job nonesoever.
Having trouble
Would anyone know how I clear the default selection for the Reading Now icon in the status bar? The NookBB menu now will not come up anymore when I press the Reading Now icon.
It was working out great for me until this:
1) When I first installed NookBB (v1) and then pressed the Reading Now button, it would pull up a dialogue box asking which action I'd like to set as the default - either the Nook BB menu or the default Reading Now application (which would be the B&N reader app).
2) I selected as the default the Reading Now application (B&N reader). Then I decided I wanted to use the Nook BB as the default but couldn't figure out how to do it. The Manage applications for NookBB won't let me clear default there as it is greyed out.
3) I tried uninstalling, and installing v2. It loads the app icon to my app drawer, but the only way to invoke the Nook BB menu is to press this icon. Pressing the Reading Now button takes me to the B&N reader.
I have just found a very interesting app while searching something on github
(I posted it here mainly because I didn't want to start a new thread)
Relaunch (coded by yiselieren) is a filemanager / launcher / task manager for Nook Simple Touch. and it has very interesting features.
One of them is that when you click on the Home, library, shop or search button in the menu of the n button, you can choose to start ReLaunch instead of the default app.
I think it would be great if you could add something (more or less) similar to that in your app.
For clearing uninstall and reinstall should work. You can try installing any epub reader (such as coolreader) and it should bring selection popup back to choose default one.
Anyway I've done patching services.jar so it will load Nookbb by pressing that button with option to go directly to reading now not relying on epub files and *only* by pressing that button.
Also for the nook menu (n button) I done remapping (easy one) and almost done custom small app so n button will act as stock Android home one, e.g. it will go home with short press and bring recent apps (using softkeys now) on long press. Still have to tinker device wake if it's locked instead of going to home behind screensaver.
I plan to post it both tonight or tomorrow.
Then I can spend time adding customizations and partial refresh.

Thank you, uninstall didn't fix it but installing cool reader did.
Can't wait for the new fixes, very impressive already.

I'm loving this app and very excited to see a Touch specific app. If you further tweak the Book Button Menu I'd like the ability to subsituite the E-reader software of my choice instead of Coolreader. I'm currently using Mantano Reader and enjoying the software.

I'm currently finishing n button mod to act as stock android home (short click - goto home, long click recent apps list with all buttons (back, home, menu, search, orientation). Almost done - testing and trying to apply partial refresh.
Next step - I'll publish patched services.jar so BookButton will be launched only by this book button not relying on epub files.
Next will be settings for the BookButton to configure all aspects of the menu, e.g. appearance of Home, Orientation as well as custom shortcuts.
thanks, I realy like your application. Very usefull but I don't use "Cool reader". I use "read it later" and "ezPdf" for reading.
Here's how to try it out:
Step 1: Enable the feature
1. Turn the feature on or off in your search settings. Touch Settings at the bottom of the Google homepage or a search results page, or visit google.com/preferences.
2. Go to the Handwrite section, select Enable to turn on the feature, and then touch Save.
Note: You might need to refresh the homepage to see the feature.
Step 2: Use it to search
1. Tap the Handwrite icon in the lower right corner of the screen on your mobile device.
2. Use your finger to start writing your search terms anywhere on the screen.
3. While you write, your handwritten text converts into typeface in the search box. If you need to delete a letter, tap the backspace icon . Press and hold the backspace icon to delete more than one letter at a time. Click X in the search box to start over again.
4. You'll see a list of predicted queries below the search box as you write. Tap one of them to search for that prediction, or click the arrow to the right to build your query and keep on writing.
5. Tap the search icon to search.
