[new release] VJEschaton

Ok guys, I said no more releases this weekend, but oltp asked for an app to hard reset, and Bartito wanted uptime, so here we go:
VJEschaton
This program is used to soft reset, hard reset, toggle display, toggle LEDs (possibly!) and get Uptime for your PDA.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

On my website!
I think the LED code still needs tweaking, but I won't use it, so it's up to you!

Version 0.3 exe only. Launch the exe to find out what shortcuts/command line parameters to use.
www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjeschaton/vjeschaton.exe
EDIT: guys, an observation. Because of the way WinCE cab manager works, I can only make shortcuts with command lines if I install real .lnk shortcuts. However, this means they only work if you install to the default location. If you install elsewhere, please modify the shortcuts to reflect the new location
Version History:
v0.11 Initial release
v0.12 Minor hard reset update
v0.2 Various beta features like sleep, memory clean up
2009.03.13 v0.3 Added Blackstone poweroff and a load of other stuff

V,
Thanks man, very useful & easy handling too (again). Small addition: reset the soft-reset counter, clear cookies, clear PIE history, clear PIE cache, clear recent program list, clear all together.
This app. could really clean up a device like anyone wants to. I like to keep certain cookies, xda-dev eg, but ditch all the others. & cleaning up the cache is always useful. I noticed that Memmaid & others somehow clean to much, so I have to login again.
Anyway thanks & have a nice weekend,
M

VJ,
nice tool. Another great work.

oltp, I was thinking of clearing the startmenu, but yeah, why the hell not go all out!?
I'll try to get some new stuff added. But slowly. I'm spending this weekend fixing old programs first
V

V,
Take it easy, they were just some ideas. Not meant to be pushing you. Next time I think of something I'll wait a week before telling you . The WM OS isn't perfect & I'm still searching for the perfect add-ons, maybe a complete tabbed today-screen, instead of the small tabs from SPB plus including functions for hardwarekeys to switch tabs & tasks (but I think it exists already).
Shoot done it again ;-)
M

I hope VJSihaya will do some great things with the today screen.
However, if the research is successful, I will try to spin off some of the stuff into the normal Today screen... no promises or more detailed ideas for now :wink:
V

Do I see a sign 'Do not disturb' on your door? Yes I think I do. I'll leave you with your developments, there enough questions for a weekend work in the other VJ threads all over the board.
Cheers, M

Can u do it Vijay
Hi Vijay,
Thanks for all the Hard work done...But I request if u can do this simple request...
-U know that in our PPCs, if we have to set a Ringtone we have to either copy that file in WIndows/Rings or keep the file open in the phone..which is a memory consuming work.WHat I suggest is the Tones system followed by Symbian...in say any Nokia phone, wherein, if the supported fornats tones are in the \Sounds\Digital\ folder..the tone setter programme identifies it and these are automatically listed and can be set.
Bottom line. a Prog or Reg Hack which will allow us to set Rintone from a Folder in SD/MMC without using 3rd party softs as Photo Contacts,Ringo etc
Can this be done???

The Ring key in your registry tells you where the ringtones are stored. Just change the stringvalue directory to something else, like \Storage\Windows\Rings\
Don't forget the last \. & keep in mind that the sd-slot becomes disabled after some time & the ringtone won't be heard then. Better make them small (mp3) & store them in memory (internal storage might work too)
Cheers, M

Thanks oltp
V

I think I did not explain it properly...
What I want to say here that when a person goes to sounds and notifications...can we add an option as "Browse"..which will show all the audio files and folders and then one can select and customize...this will help newbies to easily set the tones...
I hope now I am clearer

M$ has made file explorer for this so you can use the set as ringtone option. It's two step, it's M$. Or some genius needs to build a new cpl for it, VJRings? Not sure wether PZP does this, but PPCPhone profiles does partly.
M

Probably could be done, but I don't really have the time to play with it right now. I'm bug fixing tonnes of old stuff first
V

hehe... cool stuff Vijay!
hey guys, I think, that there must be 100s of little VJs coding at ViJays place...
maybe they are 555 at least...
;o))))
buzz

Lilo & Stitch
V is more like Stitch, only experiment 555 was good enough

Something like that! Someone's been cloning me, but decided to keep the ugliest one! (there's a joke in a joke for all you bioengineers)
VJEschaton looks like it'll be a useful place to dump lots of little functions. When I get a bit more time I'll add some of the cleanup stuff Oltp suggested. For now, watching The Burbs with Tom Hanks.
You know, I actually slept and wrote code in a dream. Somehow it was for unlocking the universal. Wish I knew how the hell I wrote that. I'm starting to worry though :shock:
V
PS Buzz, yesterday I was one click away from making the "purchase" I pm'd you about. What do you think? Worth a shot?

hi ViJay,
...just checked your PM.
I think, that upgrade will not do...
anyway, you are so unbelievable productive... were you saving all that stuff over the whole previous year, and now just releasing it? ;o))))
dream about unlocking universal... right?
I was always getting such feeling, that i'll do something with the rom, ram or all those funny tweaks on hima, when I was on my way to work... and then I did.. like I knew it before, I mean...
so please keep dreaming about unlocking universal. you are on the way to do it.
buzz

That's the weird thing, unlocking isn't my area! leave that to the real brains
Don't know why I was dreaming about it. Have you seen the thread about the Uni unlocker on ebay? Suspicious.
Hmm - upgrade.. that's a shame. I think I'm going to start a "charity" campaign. So many hacks possible from there - I was thinking of another, assigning apps to the wired headset key like on the Treo... what do you think of the "campaign"?
V

hello vijay555,
i'm very agree to you for your support !!
i have tested your new release (only the uptime option)...
in my opinion, the uptime option don't work correctly...
i have sreset the device at 14:22 and at the 14:31 the uptime option shows: uptime: 0 days, o hours, 1 minute.
i have sreset the device at the 14:22, and after 1 minute i have disconnected the screen (clicking at the on/off button). in my opinion the uptime option only counts the time meanwhile the device is on.
i'm interested in count all the time intra soft-resets (if it is possible intra charges) ))
regards and thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's exactly right Bartito, uptime counts the time that the CPU has been on.
If you want to record time between soft resets, well you need an application that runs on \windows\startup, logs time to a file/registry, and then next time it loads, it compares these times.
Uptime just records the time the system is awake.

Hide New Menu Icon

Hi,
I need to hide the New Menu icon which is present on the bottom left of the screen. I am able to delete all items from the New Menu by deleting the following key and all its subkeys from the registry -
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extension\NewMenu
However, the New button \ icon still remains. I need to hide or remove it completely.
Any ideas?
Thanks once again.
Best Regards,
Dav

What device and OS are you using?
V

Hi,
I'm using an Orange M1500 and the OS is Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088.
Thanks,
Dav

Hi vijay555,
Thanks for help. I used your program 'Toggle New'. It works well but now I have the keyboard icon left instead. Any ideas on how to remove the keyboard icon as well? Thanks once again for any tips.

After:
Cheers,
Dav

You should be using the newer version posted I think in the first post. Use that with the appropriate command line option. One of the versions in that thread fixed the SIP icon issue. I use that version, so it should work.
V

Hi,
Thanks again vijay for your help. Although your tool works well it is not going to work for my purposes. I need to be able to customize the build of a device and need to go via the registry directly at least to hide a bare minimum the Screen Rotation icon (now done), the WLan Manager icon (changing the value of the Subkey "Keep" does not work on my device), and hiding (if possible) the bluetooth manager icon. Running your exe is useful as it removes all the icons but infortunatley now leaves the keyboard. As the device will have to reconfigure itself following a hard reset, flat battery etc... I need to do all these things and cant really use a third party exe or pass a command line argument to an exe. So I really need to know what registry key's to change or edit to get these things done, and if these changes can be done via a CAB, exe or whatever... So any tips on what registry keys to tweak would be appreciated. Sometimes (as I'm finding out!) the reg keys are not given the most obvious name, and as yet i havent found any doco on what all the reg keys do...
Cheers,
Dav

Dav, not sure which version you're using, but the version I've been using for months was specifically re-written to fix the SIP keyboard icon issue.
There's a new release coming relatively soon that will have WM5 dual compatibility. It might be worth waiting, but the current WM2003 version in that thread, somewhere, should solve the SIP issue.
PM and tell me what you need to do in the registry. If I can help, I will.
V

Did someone try to remove all new menu entries? Maybe this would hide the menu (but have the bar itself remain).

Chatty, that wouldn't work AFAIK, but it would be easy to write a program to hide the new menu button if you needed to.
V

in relation to this topic, can we "ADD" some menu items in the NEW Menu button?

Yes, you can.
I think there are programs the let you edit the menu. Just not sure what they are.
You can also do it manually, but it's just a bit tricky.
Look at the first post. Find that registry key on your device and look at it's sub keys. Each of them contains a string that will appear in the menu, and the key name gives the CLSID of the object.
You can fined the registry settings for creating the object in HKCR\CLSID.

Thank you for the reply levenum. But i cant find any of the applications i installed in the HKCU\CLSID.

Hi oldsap!
That's the real tricky part. Not all apps register a CLSID and not all of them can create a new document from command line.
You could check how existing CLSIDs are structured, and try creating one manually for the program you want.
Unfortunately, that won't work for every program. For some there will be no way to add a 'new' shortcut.

Couple of different issues here: the dlls are published through their CLSID, so when you program a new menu extension you must have a unique CLSID.
However, having access to the CLSID doesn't do much other then let you add or remove those items to the existing New Menu.
But creating an entirely new item, eg "Create bluetooth contact" would require you to program that extension as a dll, and then add the unique CLSID to the registry entries above.
And to go back on topic, hiding the new menu button entirely is easy enough.

Anyone know a Today Plug in that can do this?

I was wondering if there is a today plug in that will allow me to write or type my own message and show up on my today screen permantly (and allows me to change it through settings)?

Doesnt thebuild in tasks plugin work for you?? Or you want a more "post-it" notes kinda feel??

I just want like one line on my today screen to write whatever I want....for example......like the owner informations with phone number is 2 lines.....I want to disable that and write my own information in one line.....doesn't have to be owner info....just anything I want.....it's kinda hard to explain.....and I want to to be able to use chinese characters to write too.....

is this what you're looking for? this software worked great on my old ppc but i don't know if it's WM 5.0 compatible.

tbito, this was exactly what i was thinking of recommending to kiru...and i can confirm that it works with wm2005. i'm using a mio a701 and this is one of my plugins.

Yes, NotesToday is one of my staples. I think it's very useful.
I tweaked the default skin slightly to allow me to minimise it to a dot, (just above the weather plugin)

}
and then maximise it to normal:
I didn't end up using it much, but nice idea, well implemented, and well worth the $5.
V

hey vijay, very interesting the way you made it look so small and efficient! mind sharing it? :wink: interesting little application; although i don't use it as much it's good as a quick scratch pad for all occasions...

Someone just emailed me about the skin.
I've found a copy on my ftp - I haven't used the plugin for a while, because I'm still migrating my setup to WM5 and deciding on new plugins.
But hopefully this is the skin shown:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/!tools/notestodayskin/notestoday_skin_new.zip
I modified the skin to take almost no room, but be stylus selectable, but particularly selectable with the dpad. I can't remember if I had to edit the registry, but basically you can switch minimised and maximised mode by scrolling down the today screen with the dpad and clicking enter. It'll shrink/expand accordingly

Hi Vijay,
I Guess this is off topic. But on one of the screenshots your have an extra blue bar underneath the start button. With two arrow vertical up anddown at the start and sms, phone, and bluetooth etc. in it. I also saw some sort of profiles program with the same arrows in a later screenshot. with seems like profiles to me.
Are those programs the same and if yes, which program is it? I'm tried several programs Pocket Zen phone and WM Profiles. But wasn't happy because the vibrate function didn't work properly on my wizard.
Let me know, thanks.
Cheers
Shah

Shah, the blue bar near the top in my 18 August 2005 screenshots is an early version of my PhoneAlarm skin. This was refined into the one you can see in my 5 April 2006 screenshot, at the top of the screen (being used via my VJToggleToday program).
This is used to select profiles (where the normal "Vibrate" icon is at the top of the screen, clicking this brings a drop down menu with my profiles, Work, Home, Silent, FlightMode)
PhoneAlarm is excellent, generally. Profiles are a very basic feature on any phone, and it's mindboggling that it's not a standard feature, but I like PhoneAlarm, and Bruce, the author (you can also see my slightly hacked version of AlarmToday as well in the screenshots).
My 5 April 2006 screenshot also shows claunch at the bottom (apologies for the stupid icons, I lost some icons when I changed phones), being used to change PhoneAlarm profiles with my thumb. So I can make calls/send SMS using VJPhoneTools, change profiles (PhoneAlarm), and launch selected apps all from the same plugin.
V

Vijay, do you not find PhoneAlarm is resource-heavy?
Also, is that skin on your home page? (I've had a look and can't see it)

Hi Guys,
First: THANKS YOU vijay555 for giving me the skin files! (I'll mail you later with my findings, regarding VGA and landscape use)

Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

Puzom:
I may have the skins at home. Frankly, it's easy to write your own. The standard skins are nothing exciting!
Webreaper:
My phonealarm skin is towards the end of the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331&highlight=vjtoggletoday
I've used PhoneAlarm for pretty much my whole year on XDA devs, and never found it to be a problem on resources. There are simpler ways of doing what it does, but it's useful, and gives me easy control of profiles etc. Bruce is filling it up with stuff I can't imagine needing, like cell based profiles etc, but I'm happy with the basics - notifications, mail count, profiles etc.
PhoneAlarm or a similar app is essential IMHO for effective use of the phone.
I've had trouble with AlarmToday since upgrading to WM5, but the old WM2003 version was flawless and very useful too.
V

Thanks Vijay. Your skin looks the simplest and neatest I've seen.
I really liked the idea of the cell-based profiles, in particular for things like enabling wifi for when I'm at home, but disabling it when I'm at work. Unfortunately, my house and office are both on the same cell.

Brins0net_EventSounds

I've made a simple program to modify the registry entries concerning the sounds made on certain events inside the Windows Mobile operating system, such as the sound played when an error occurs, or when you open a program.
To enable the new events on your device, run the program, then reboot. Once rebooted, open it again to configure the new sound events. Sound files can be stored anywhere on the device, or a connected storage card, although I'd recommend keeping them on the device.
Since this program modifies registry entries, there is always an element of danger, and things could go wrong. Although I've tried to deal with all of the possibilities where problems occur, some configurations may cause problems, you accept responsibility for any damage which occurs, although I will do my best to help you fix the problem.

Please feel free to comment on my work, I hope it'll prove useful for someone. I've not yet come across any other PDA based application to do what this one does, so i'm hoping it may stirr up some interest.
Note: Some of the menu items have not been used at this time, and will not do anything when you click on them...

WOW!!! This is a great idea! One question. I have long wanted the "tick" sound when i type on my PocketCM Keyboard with out the annoying ticks on the screen for general selection of items. Is it possible to apply a silent sound to all general screen taps but still allow the tick sounds when the on screen SIP is being used?

It may be possible, although that would involve changing a different part of the registry, not related to the one I have used. I will look into it for you when I start developing again...

Works great thank you very much!
1. I have no program icon though (not a big deal) my menu background is solid black so all i see is a black square. Is your program icon tranparent or black or something?
2. Also, the tools soft-key doesn't do anything, what is it supposed to do?
3. Also, mention that .net CF is required (I didn't have it)
Thanks again.

Good idea . Goin to try later..can u post some sounds please. Cant find any good 1s.

Do you have Windows Vista? Look in your \Windows\Media\ Folder, I got all the sounds I used from there, they're better sounding than what comes with Windows Mobile by default.

1. Yes, it's a black "B" on a transparent background, so it'll not show there i'm afraid...

3. I have already mentioned above that the .net compact framework 3.5 is required for it to work, although this should be included as part of WM6.1... Correct me if I'm wrong though please...
Glad you like it though, are the any changes you can suggest, possibly better descriptions for the events? Some of them don't appear to be used on all devices, I've tried to work out what they do, but making an event fire, when you don't know what causes it, is not easy

If you look on the downloads section of my site (http://brins0.net/) there is a package of the Windows Vista sound effects that come as one of the ultimate extras which I have extracted from my installation.

[MOD][Update 15-AUG] Enable hidden "battery low"+custom sound+unlock repeat option

[MOD][Update 15-AUG] Enable hidden "battery low"+custom sound+unlock repeat option
Hi!
I found this yesterday when i was pissed off, that i don't hear sound notification,
that my battery is low and my phone turn off outside when i need it working.
My first "discovery" (maybe everyone know that, for me this is new) is that in \Windows\
is sound file lowbatt.wav and this file is sound of low battery notification, so we can replace in by any sound we want.
I lookin for registry assocation of this file and then i found how to enable "Low battery" possition
in Settings>Sounds and notifications>tab "Notifications">first drop-down list.

To enable this option please import REG file from attachments. It casuse in this drop-down list appear "Battery low" option.
If you want to have this possition in your language, there is source code and you can modify "Battery low" from las line,
copy this whole code, paste to PC Notepad and save as "*.*" and file name *.REG and in next step send it to phone
and import to registry with Resco Registry:
Code:

In attachment you can find my custom sound - alert sound like from Avast Antivirus.
Update (25-07-2010):
I created CAB, which enable "Battery low" menu and replace original lowbatt sound.
Update (15-08-2010):
I modified my CAB. Now "Repeat" option is unlocked too.

Unlock all notification methods
I discovered another thing: how to unlock all notification methods (except "Repeat") for selected
notification like in screenshot in first post.
All totifications are placed in registry in:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
and this branch's looks like {15F11F90-......}
(this branch corresponds for "Notifications" option in notifications drop-down list).
To activate all notification methods we need enter to this branch and delete DWORD named "AvaibleOptions".
This is it - all methods will be unlocked now (except "Repeat" of course).

Aditional notification positions in drop-down list
This is not good examined by me (because i discovered this yesterday),
but i found how show aditional notification possitions in drop-down list,
but i dont know for what exactly match.
Maybe someone from you guys (and ladies) can sniff arround this to help indentify it.
That are branch's:
{0D3132C4-....}
{3C781384-....}
{70C48D00-....}
{9DA772A9-....}
{A877D65D-....}
{B67B425B-....}
{C3465585-....}
{DDBD3B44-....}
This positions can be activated and appear on drop-down list by editing first string vaule (Default) and enter in "String" for ex. "UnknownNotification1".
Please if anyone feel, that can help with this, so let me know. Any help is welcome.
UPDATE (15-08-2010):
I looking for some info how to unlock and enable "Repeat" function for notifications and i found it on forum.
I decided to make REG Tweak to unlock this option for all notifications.
This tweak is CABbed like usual

Wow good work, just got my hd2 and want to mess with the notification settings.
Be great to see a cab that unlocks all of them including the unnamed ones so that we can choose in the normal settings

There is REG file which enable 4 hidden notifications. Other branch's dont having path's to wave file, so i ignore them.
When you test it i recommand to enable on screen notifications - it helps to indentify it.

Sweet,
Going to do some testing on my old touch diamond see if I can get them all unlocked even without sound, then that way people can set sounds and other options later.

good find mate

I waiting for replies about this new notifications.
I uploaded battery low alert sound to first post in two recognized formats: WAV and WMV. You can copy both files to \Windows\ folder to later select it in settings.

I added a CAB to first post which enable "Battery low" and replace original lowbatt sound file by alert sound form like in Avast antivirus.

Thanks. Just what I was looking for. I wasn't searching actively, but somehow I discovered your topic, which looks very useful.
I'll report my findings.
Grtz,
Mac

This is great!
But may I ask: At what percentage of the battery remaining will the notification "ring"?

10 and 5 % of battery. Unfortunely i dont know yet how change it to one-ring-per-procent.

If someone having English language ROM, please post screenshot from the same place like in first post.
Thank you.

All I did was apply the reg-tweak in the code of the first post, then I changed the sound to "Alert-Unlink" that is in my current EnergyROM.
Thanks again for the mod.

No problem. Thanks for screenshot m8.

work on WM 6.5.x, what about WM 6.5, is it work too??

Hi there. Can you help me find how to tweak Mobile Excel? Specifically, how to hide "headers" and "scroll bars". This option was always available since PPC2003, up to WinMo 6.1. But, strangely, it is greyed in HTC HD mini. Is it because of WinMo 6.5.3? Or is it because HTC intentionally disabled this? I don't know. But i like to learn how to unlock this important feature from the registry.
Thanks.

This is AWESOME! Thanks much for sharing!
