[new release] VJBrisk - very specific file launcher

Guys, don't get excited, this is just a teeny tiny app for a special request:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50460&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
I'm basically not releasing anything for a while whilst I work on my new website, which is taking ages
However, this app is just used to launch an app in the same folder, with the filename
VJTarget.exe
or a shortcut called VJTarget.lnk.
This is very specific in use. You don't need it, I'm sure.
But if you have an app that can launch an .exe, but won't launch a shortcut with a command line, then this might be for you (I know some button redefiners and Today launchers might get use out of this)
So, basically, if you want to run VJDialer with a command line in TomTom:
1. Create a shortcut to VJDialer and set it up as you normally would.
2. Check the shortcut to ensure it works.
3. Copy it to your target folder.
4. Copy VJBrisk.exe to the same target folder.
5. Rename the shortcut you made in Step 1 to VJTarget.lnk.
6. Running VJBrisk will now launch VJTarget with its command line etc.
So, setup TomTom to run VJBrisk, and VJBrisk will then launch a file called VJTarget.exe or VJTarget.lnk in the same folder.
Like I said, very specific, but a good experiment for me with some nice string classes
On my (old) website.

Thanx!
I will rewrite my question here, because it's + appropriated:
i will try NOW your app.... only a question:
VJbrisk.exe launch only one vjtarget.lnk or just rename it (exe) with the same name of the link to have more than 1 phone link?
(es Vjbrisk1.exe call Vjbrisk1.lnk, Vjbrisk2.exe call VJbrisk2.lnk etc ?
sorry 4 my english
:::EDIT:::::
i HAVE AN IDEA!
If a Vjbrisk.exe read from a text file vjtarget.txt :
links = 2
link1: vjdial.exe 123456789;
link2: vjdial.exe 987654321;
then by renaming as Vjbrisk1.exe or vjbrisk2.exe the program execute the link into the txt?
the counter is for vjbrisc[X].exe, from x=1 to x=[links].....
or the exe filename can be compared with a string written into the txt:
"VBrisk1.exe" = vjdial.exe 123456789
"VBrisk2.exe" = vjdial.exe 123456789
I don't know is it's possible.... however good work for all others apps that you've made !

VJBrisk will launch VJTarget.exe or VJTarget.lnk.
I could make it so that renaming VJBrisk Eg VJBrisk2.exe will launch VJTarget2.exe.
But for your TomTom setup, I suggest you just use a different folder and a different copy of VJBrisk for each app you need to run.
The text file option is possible, but may be more complicated then just renaming the .exe as I describe above.

ok thnx 1000

accidental presses solved
thanks again to kokotas and vijay555.
kokotas for his ROM that allows me to replace \windows\biotouch.exe without difficulty
vijay555 for his VJBrisk that allows a "new biotouch.exe" to launch a shortcut to s2u2.exe
this means slide2unlock2 will remain locked, even if there are accidental presses/brushes(due to hardware design) while my elf is in my pocket.

Hi, Vijay.
Is there any chance that you could modify this app so that it would pass the command-line parameter it was launched with on to the shortcut?
Here's what i'm trying to acchieve:
I'm using a QR Code reader called quickmark that can read a URL from the barcode, and open it in a web browser. It can ce switched to use Opera instead of IE, but it attempts to launch the executable called OperaLaunch.exe from /Windows, while my Opera9 beta exec is on the storage card, and it's called Opera9.exe
I tried to create a shortcut to it, rename it to VJTarget.lnk, and place it in /Windows along with VJBrisk renamed to "OperaLaunch.exe". When i tried to access a web page from quickmark, opera was launched, but it opened its home page, as if it didn't receive the command line parameter. Manualy running the link with URL as command line parameter worked fine, so it seems that VJBrisk doesn't pass the parameter...

[new version!] Command line support
mr_deimos - that's a really good idea. I don't know why I had never supported it before.
Can you please try this new version.
It's been years since I've made a cab, so for now, just a new .exe.
Let me know if it works ok for you.

Whoa, i didn't notice this version before. Thanks for making the update and sorry for the late reply.
However unfortunately it still doesn't seem to pass the command line parameters. Right now i don't have the opera9 anymore, but i tested it with netfront:
I have the vjbrisk.exe renamed to OperaLaunch.exe and vjtarget.lnk (pointing to my NetFront executable on storage card) in my /windows dir.
If i run:
Code:
\windows\vjtarget.lnk http://www.xda-developers.com
Netfront opens up, and loads the xda-dev website.
But ruunning:
Code:
\windows\operalaunch.lnk http://www.xda-developers.com
NetFronf fires up, but loads its homepage instead of this website Of course the same happens with QuickMark - it just launches NF, without loading the proper page.

it works fine, but can you make an option so that it is possible to use it multiple times in one directory =?
ex:
manila2d use on homescreen hardcoded:
-> clock.exe for timer+
-> calendar.exe for outlook calendar.
# # # #
now i want to use:
-> clock.exe for spb time
-> calendar.exe for thumbcal
so i overwrite calendar.exe + clock.exe with your tool(copy vjbrick.exe to calendar.exe + clock.exe) + make the link to vjtarget....
so how can handle your tool this for different targets ?
my idea would be that there is
1.) vjbrick.exe looks to its own exe-name and searching for a file with extension: ".vjb" . there the call is inside to the correct exefile + paramter
so for example:
1.) copy vjbrick.exe to calendar.exe + copy to windows(overwrite the orig file)
2.) generate a file calendar.vjb + inside there is: "programm files\thumbcal\thumbal.exe -day" + copy the file to \windows
manila2d->
THEREFORE: a lot of guys which are searching therefore a solution !!!!!!!!!!!

WM6 Pro modifying autocorrect.0409.txt

Customizing the autocorrection in WM6 has been done, but WM6Pro is a bit different. This is the "can't live w/out" feature for past BlackBerry owners which allows you to type something like "brb" in and email and have the system replace it with "I just stepped out, but will respond when i get back."!
Figgured out how to do this on WM6pro from the device itself. The easiest way is to use Total Commander (3rd party file explorer). WM6pro requires that the autotext.0409.txt file be saved in unicode. it also protects the file in 3 ways: it sets the ReadOnly bit; it sets the SystemFile bit; and it watches the file from boot to make sure you don't change/delete it, but it will allow you to rename it. After figguring this out, i came up with the following process to update it:
1) open Total Commander and navigate to and highlight the \Windows\autocorrect.0409.txt file
2) copy the file to the root folder
3) navigate Total Commander to the root folder and highlight the \autocorrect.0409.txt
4) in the properties of the file, turn the ReadOnly and System bits off
6) click the notepad icon at the bottom of Total Commander to open the file in notepad
7) make your changes to the file minding the required alphabetical ordering
8) save the file as a unicode text file with a slightly different name (autocorrect.0409new.txt)
9) copy or move the new file to the windows directory
10) rename the existing autocorrect.0409.txt file to autocorrect.0409orig.txt
11) rename the new autocorrect.0409new.txt to autocorrect0409.txt
12) reboot WinMobile6 Pro
13) if you want to clean up, you should now be able to remove the extra files we have created along the way.
items I added:
sm =
fr =
degs = [the degree symbol]
brb = I just stepped out, but will respond when i get back
ack = (sent from wireless device) I read your email and will respond as soon as I am able. Thanks!
keywords: ppc wm6 windows mobile autocorrect type ahead intellisense as you type keyboard shortcuts macro speed

very interesting, I'll give it a try !
thx for the tip !

1. Very useful and cool tweak, this will help me a lot! I am going to try and get it to work with dual languages and will report back, so for example I could type "CHbusy" and get "县在忙，一会儿给您回答“ to avoid having to change the SIP....great
2. THis will be a great prank, will wait until my bro leaves his phone unattended and go change things like "the=Nate, you are a jackass" it'll take him ages to figure it out!!

[Howto] Open Dialer on Slide-Open with SlideActions in TouchFlo/Manila2D only

How to make Phone Dialer pop up when using slider from TouchFlo/M2D home
I am a big fan of the SlideActions application here, but when you use a cooked ROM with TouchFlo2D / Manila2D the "Open Dialer when on homescreen" as Slide-Open-Action does not do due to a different process running in foreground.
The options discussed in the SlideAction thread are not really cool, they open the dialer application always - even if you're in writing a new mail just want to use the keypad to type text.
Not a clean solution, but a temporary workaround (until SlideActions will be updated?) will be using a tiny MortScript as helper:
Step 1:
Install MortScript on your phone and copy a new script (textfile with .mscr extension) on your phone containing these lines:
Code:
x = ActiveProcess()
If (x eq "Manila2D.exe")
Run( "\windows\vtkey.exe" )
EndIf
Step 2:
In SlideAction's "Advanced" tab, add MortScript.exe as custom action with the dropdown and type the full path and name of your newly created .mscr file in the Param field. Now in the Event dropdpwn select the On Open field and chose the Run radio. Finally change the On Close Event to Null.
Here we go: Now, everytime you open the slider, the script checks if Manila2D is in foreground, and if, opens the dialing application. When opening slider while writing an email or text message, nothing happens!
Enjoy!

MoritzN you are a genious!!! i had the same problem!!! now it's fixed and runs perfect!!! thank you for your help!!!

Simple Text Editor - Notepad

Hi at all,
Often I need to use a simple text editor instead of a more complex (and heavy) programs (like word) just for create or edit simple text files, then I have written a very simple applicatation to view a text files (txt, log, bat, ...).
Notepad is a simple text editor with the possibility to open and save documents in differents text format. The notepad functionalities are intentionally left simple for not to be too heavy.
Funcionalities:
- Context menu' with Cut, Copy and Paste commands.
- Clipboard shared with other applications (is possibile to copy text from other application (like word) end paste in notepad, and viceversa)
- Insert today date (from edit menu' and from context menu')
- Delete current file from file system
- Open and save files in any folder browsing file system (instead of classic open file dialog)
Prerequisities :
- .NET Compact Framework 2.0 ( www.microsoft.com )
Installation.
Download zip file
unzip in any folder and copy CAB file on device.
Use fileExplorer to found a CAB file and run it.
It will be installed and will be created an icon in Program Files.

thank you for the notepad

Super software thx!

[GUIDE] [WW Users] Map the physical keyboard to function with the default Android 3.x

I definitely don't like the ASUS touch keyboard that we all have by default in our tablets. Uninstalling this keyboard means lose the keymapping of the physical keyboard .
You don't need to follow this guide if you have a US keyboard, because if you uninstall the ASUS keyboard the physical one will acquire automatically the US layout.
If you live in another country and you don't want to write with the american layout, then this is the guide for you .
We are going to map the physical keyboard in order to function with the Android 3.x one.
- Requirements -
Eee Pad Transformer TF101 non US model
*** ROOT access ***
Root Explorer (or an equivalent app that let you modify system files)
- Step by step guide -
Remove the tablet from its dock (necessary to avoid FCs)
Change the default input method to "Android Keyboard" (Settings -> Language and input -> Current input method)
Open root explorer and navigate to the /system/usr/keychars folder
Mount the folder in R/W mode (you have to read "Mount R/O" to do this)
Rename (longpress -> Rename) the file "asusec.kcm" to "asusec.kcm.old" (without quotations)
Go back to the /system/usr folder and open the "xt9" and then the "keychars"
Copy the file "qwerty-xx_XX.kcm" that corresponds to your keyboard language (longpress -> Copy)
Go back to the /system/usr folder and reopen the "keychars"
Paste the file in this folder
Rename the file that you pasted to "asusec.kcm" (always without quotations)
Reboot the tablet
Enjoy!!!
Now if you want you can safely remove the ASUS keyboard:
Open Root Explorer and navigate to the /system/app folder
Remember to mount the folder as R/W
Find the file "XT9IME.apk" and rename it to "XT9IME.apk.old" (w/out quotations)
Don't mind the FCs the system shows and reboot the tablet
Reopen Root Explorer
Navigate to the /system/lib folder
Check the R/W mounting
Rename the file "libjni_xt9input.so" to "libjni_xt9input.so.old"
Rename the file "libjni_xt9kcm.so" to "libjni_xt9kcm.so.old"
Reboot
Enjoy your free-from-ASUS tablet
All the credits for this last guide go to sirmx, who in his post pointed out the files to rename.

Fantastic guide, works perfectly on Prime 1.7!

On the keyboard dock, there is a CTRL key on the left. Use this with the V, X and C key to paste, cut and copy.
You can use AnyCut to create custom app shortcuts using the search key.

Does anyone know if Ctrl+A will do select all? That's the fourth of the common cut, copy, paste shortcuts.

It works in Tapatalk and Kingsoft Office.
Once again, it works in a lot of apps, but not all.
