PHM TrayLaunch... - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

...works well on wizard. after loading PHM Powertoys so i could extract and isolate the "TrayLnch" applet, i removed the Powertoys suite and placed TrayLnch in the Programs File folder in subfolder PHM Tools where my PHM RegEdit resides too. placed a shortcut in Windows/Start Menu/Programs and started to use it with no issues.

all it takes to add a today link is to type in the program's target file path...
i like how light this solution is compared to the other bundled apps that include today screen access to applications through multi-function plug-ins. running this with water's "smatskey" is a nice combo. i don't use nico's reg-hack-app since it bugs running on my rom. i don't mind modding the registry directly and do apply the speed tweaks and few minor function items.
one thing i need help with is this... i want to get to "running programs" via the today tray. can someone please tell me the command line to try and get a link to Start>Settings>System>Memory>Running Programs???

Create a shortcut with this content:
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
That should launch the main control panel applet, with the Task Manager (4), and 2nd tab (2). Works here, but please do let me know if it doesn't wwork for you.

no luck first attempt. please provide complete command line format. thanks in advance!

that is the entire command line format ;>
I've attached the file, zipped up. If it doesn't work, try using...
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,3
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4
etc. and see which number pops up the task manager for you. Then just add that ",2" at the end to make it go to the correct tab.

loaded code and link to it via folder address. works a peach. thanks. i'm noob and was trying to write code as "target" command line in traylnch.
now... how can i change the .lnk file's icon?

you need to add the file you want to load an icon from, and the icon resource you want to use.
You could use the "Device Information" icon, for example (the task manager one itself isn't too clear):
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2?deviceinfo.exe,-103
If you want to look for other icons, try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9172
Execute on your device, find a DLL or EXE, and click "Next Icon". Note that on my device it's not finding any icons in "ceshell.dll", even though there's a lot of icons in there, so your mileage may vary.

BIG THANK YOU
...here i used vijay555's taskman icon>>>>>

do you have "phm traylnch" on your device? if not, i can email it to you or upload it to xda's ftp tomorrow. just pm me with an email address if you want it sent. it is part of phm powertoys. if you google phm powertoys and load it, you might want to pull out the tray launch exe and only keep it on device. i got rid of the whole powertoy suite since i only care for the tray launch tool and regedit of course.

Hi ALL
Just want to say Thanks, that is so useful for me, Thank you
one more thought, is it possible to add a shortcut for the "Device Lock" then add it to the tary ? leave more space for Today, since I need to lock the screen while playing music in the pocket, Thanks a lot

only if somebody knows how to call the correct procedure in shutil.dll %)
otherwise, it might be worth looking into some of the other device locking utilities out there?

Doesn't work for me. I get error loading the shortcut or finding the target file.
I created a shortcut with the 24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2 code in it and placed it in the windows/startmene/programs folder. I then I installed TrayLaunch and added the shortcut to the list. What have I done wrong?
I tried the ZeBoxx's suggestion of using 24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1 , etc but that doesn't pop anythting up either.
ZeBoxx, your posted taskman.lnk file didn't have the 24# in the target, yet you list it in the commands in your post. Should I have the 24# in the shortcut target too? Actually it doesn't work for me with or without. :?

unless somebody replaced the attached zip, the zip most definitely has a file called "TaskMan.lnk" in it, 25 bytes in size, with the following content:
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
Please re-check the download, make sure your unzipping app isn't mucking things up, etc.
Yes, you should have "24#" or "32#" or whatever at the front.
And yes, it should work. Try the shortcut in plain ol' File Explorer or Total Commander CE or something first - just to rule out any problems you may have with getting it listed in PHM Traylaunch. If it doesn't work in File Explorer / whatever, then check if "ctlpnl.exe" and "cplmain.cpl" exist in your "\Windows\" folder. If they don't, then there's your problem
If they do, then...
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1
should open the Password applet
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2
should open the Owner Information applet
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,3
should open the Power applet
etc.

Where do I have to put this content? How to create shortcuts ??

in a shortcut (.lnk) file. One with that content is attached to one of my posts further up this thread

ZeBoxx,
Is there documentation anyplace on creating those shortcuts? I'm trying to create one for the Network Cards shortcut under Connections, so when I'm using 802.11 I can see all the available wireless networks.
But instead of just asking you to tell me what it is (which is greatly appreciated) I'd like to know how to do this myself.
Or is this just so painfully obvious and I'm thick? I've been digging around the windows folder on my device as well as searching the threads here and can't find much other than "here's the command for that shortcut" stuff.
thanks!
-Mc

could U tell me how to edit that shortcut and attach new content?

Hi!
I tried it and it works so far, but.. Is there any command line parameter to open some file?
I wanted to associate this notepad with .txt files and used standard command line: ShNotePad.exe %1, but notepad doesn't open the file.
Thank you!
Just to let you know that this works on my 2003SE device with .NET installed.
A request - Can you make it so it will open files other than .txt ? I'd like to use it to edit mortscript files on my device which end .mscr. Is this possible or is it a limitation of the operating system?

I concur with efrost here. When I associate txtfile with ShNotePad and then click on a .txt file, it simply opens the empty editor. It does not parse the parameter. I currently use Tillanosoft's Notepad. ShNotePad, albeit a tiny bit slower at loading, would be a massive improvement if it could be used as the default editor for txt files. Please Mohammad!

Yepeee!
Since I have your ear (if you don't ask you don't get), may I suggest one FINAL item for your wish list? It is to do with how most people use computers and, specially, PDAs: you are writing something using ShNotePad, the phone rings, you answer, you enter an appointment, do something else, forget about your notes, later you reboot your PDA, your notes are gone!
Would it be feasible to have ShNotePad to save all open tabs to temporary files as soon as the session goes to the background? That way when you come back to it all tabs will still be there, regardless of the PDA rebooting or not. I seem to remember the Windows text editor Notetab does something similar.
The issue of wanting to go back to a previous version could be resolved by saving any files with changes to a temporary file. When there is an explicit instruction to save, then the temporary overwrites the previous version. But until then you could have an option to "revert to previous".
I personally believe that with those changes this should be the editor of choice for all ROMers in these forums -don't forget to place the "donate" button to compensate for your sleepless nights

What is this note program good for?
Salam,
I can use the LingvoSoft Farsi keyboard and the Notepad program that comes with Pocket PC to do the same (type Farsi and English). I don’t understand the purpose of your program.
Merci,

I don't speak Persian, so I cannot comment on its merits for that. The purpose of this program, just like the many other third party notepad applications to be found, is to edit and save plain text files, which the Pocket PC built in Notepad application does not. A specific advantage of ShNotePad is the ability of opening multiple files simultaneously with tabs. If you never need to do any of the above, then clearly you don't need this program

thanks for the update.
hey bro, nice app. hope 2 C your great jobs soon bring em on bro
Thank you very much!
It looks very interesting, but I had a couple problems with it on HTC TyTN II:
1. I associated *.txt files with the ShNotePad.exe program, and clicked on a test.txt file. Windows gave an error that the program could not be found.
2. From inside the program, I cannot navigate through folder beyond the first level hierarchy. That is, I can look at files in the top folders on the phone, but not in any subfolders.
3. I cannot open any files that do not have .txt extension.
If you get a chance, perhaps you can take a look.
Thank you!
Edit: Unicode files open correctly.
Looks good. And tried it.
1. It can view txt as well as unicode files very well. But, It cannot edit the unicode files. If I make any modification/addition in a unicode file and save that, it get converted into ansi file structure instead of unicode...
2. The font selection does not seem to be working.
3. When we close the shnotepad using"x" button, it does not ask for saving the information.
May be the above info help you...
other options...
There is another free Unicode/UTF8 Note program called UKNote - v0.0.0.7 ( http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1283 ), however I would go with FarsiNote, which is a true Unicode Notepad program for ~$10USD and works on WM5/6. You can copy and paste Farsi text from web pages into this FarsiNote and it would correctly assemble and connect Farsi characters together under Pocket PC ( http://shahabonline.com/FarsiPack/FarsiNote.htm ).

To ROM cookers, feel free to include this tool in your "FTouchFLO-enabled" ROMs.
Thanks Schaps. Will test this on TyTN II with Dutty Throy's TouchFlo ROM.
Great Work!!!
Schaps, Thank you for this. I could only guess that FTouchFlow and this tool will be built into future ROM's.
PS. Looks like they are getting close with a stable cube also..........hint hint...
Schaps,

Awesome stuff Schaps. Great work
Hi Schaps,
I installed it but it gives an error message about not being able to find the configuration file. I installed ftouchflo as part of the Cube file built by Xplode. Program and config file are in \Program Files\Touch Flo. Suggestions?

Probably looking for the config file in \Program Files\FTouchFlo\
@schnaps, nice work, a long awaited tool over in the efrost thread
Probably just being picky, but a few suggestions:
1) When you tap in a Gestures | Parameters field, make the SIP open and scroll to view the field to edit.
2) Put an Add and Remove button on the Exclusions page (will probably make it more intuitive and cut down on questions here).
3) I notice once you use the tool to change something it trims all the spaces out of the config file and makes if slightly less readable (not that we need to read it now anyway). Any chance of leaving the spaces/hard enters in?
4) Depending on the issue above, if come config files are burnt into other directories, maybe the tool needs the option to manually point to the config file.

Make sure FTouchFLO is installed in one of the following directories:
\Windows
\Program Files\FTouchFlo
\Storage Card\Program Files\FTouchFlo
FTouchFLOConfig directory
If FTouchFLO is installed in a different location, you should move and run FTouchFLOConfig from this location.

Just going to try Motisu's suggestion now; however I think it would be easier if there was an option in Schaps config tool to tell it where to find the FTouchflo config file.

Xplode,
Good idea. If you can reconfigure Schaps tool so it recognises the default directory for Ftouchfloconfig, as it sits in supporting the HTC cube, bundle all that up into one cab file for a single install that works, then that would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
Just a small suggestion for adding program to exclusion list. Can it be designed such that we can pick where to look for the exe file? Now this application scans both SD and internal memory which takes a lot of time, considering you can only add one program a time.
Alternatively, allows for multiple selection so that one load we can select a few to be excluded.

Make icon for application

I found this simple attached Wifi toggle application in XDA that is suppose to work on smartphones (WM6 standard).
I installed on my trinity and it worked, the only problem is that it does not have a icon!!
Can anyone help in making an icon for it? Also perhaps make the installaiton package to also make a shortcut to the startmenu?
Thanks in advance.
there is no need for a new cab file.
type
62#"Program Files\smartmadsoft\WirelessToggle\WirelessToggle.exe"?<path and filename to any dll>
into a shortcut file and save it to \windows\start menu\programs. it will autmatically appear in the start menu's programm folder.
Thanks for your help. But I do know how to make the shortcut to the start menu. The problem is that there will not be an icon for it. It will only show a generic white page for as an icon (the same icon fo invalid shortcuts even though the shortcut is correct). The problem is that (I think) the application itself does not have an icon because even the exe file doesn't show an icon.
answers to your two questions are already in my post:
how to make shortcut to program files to appear in the start menu's program submenu:
create a text file
type: 62#"Program Files\smartmadsoft\WirelessToggle\WirelessToggle.exe"
save it as wirelesstoggle.lnk
copy it to \windows\start menu\programs
how to add an icon:
add ?<filename>.dll,startnumber
to the shotcut file in one single line. if you do not have a icon dll file just use one of the existing like shellres.dll in the windows folder.
it should look like this:
62#"Program Files\smartmadsoft\WirelessToggle\WirelessToggle.exe"?shellres.dll,-13910
that will give you the beam-icon.
here are some more icons:
Bluetooth: shellres.dll,-13909
Connections: shellres.dll,-13953
Network cards: shellres.dll,-13888

@egoist6: thanks for this informations!! Olioaglio
If your asking how to make a custom Icon, there are many free icon applications out there. ones i have used over the years:
mspaint - create any .bmp file you want then just rename to .ico
bmp2icon - takes a .bmp file you have and converts it to .ico, supports transparency.
IconChanger - can take an .exe and change the icon embedded to one of your choice. (this one might be what you need to just add an icon to the .exe you have)
GConvert - can convert pictures into .ico, can pull icons from .exe, can create icon .dll files (which can have multiple icons inside), has a batch function to convert many files at once.
Gimp - freeware type of photoshop, is kind of complicated, not for beginners.

what is the 62# used for in your lnk file?
you have to provide in advance the total amount of letters for the link to the exe file (including the quotation marks). i do not know the reason for this, i just know the facts...

you're welcome.
if you want to use this - i had some strange behaviours when changing the icon after you have completed the whole shortcut file:
the old icon still remains visible. you have to rename the whole shortcut file to enforce display of the new icon.
i can't remember if a soft reset might also help.
Thanks alot egoist6, worked like a charm.
Hello everybody,
You can also paste behind your shortcut "?outres.dll,-10001"
(I hope this works for everybode, I am on a FRENCH WM6)
Value 10001 : contacts
Value 10006 : flag
etc

Crud Scraper - automatic uninstaller

Hello,
I just wanted to announce a little app I wrote in response to a request over here.
In a nutshell it just goes through your device, checks against a list of software in a config file, and lets you check off the ones you'd like to uninstall. Then it removes those apps from your file system and the registry.
This is my first windows mobile app. It's fairly simple, but if anyone finds any bugs, please let me know.
Right now there is only a config file for the HTC Tilt 2. If anyone would like to write a config file for other devices (Rhodium or not), I've included documentation on how to do so, and I'd be happy to help.
You can grab the Tilt 2 version of Crud Scraper here.

Hello,
I just wanted to announce a little app I wrote in response to a request over here.
In a nutshell it just goes through your device, checks against a list of software in a config file, and lets you check off the ones you'd like to uninstall. Then it removes those apps from your file system and the registry.
This is my first windows mobile app. It's fairly simple, but if anyone finds any bugs, please let me know.
Right now there is only a config file for the HTC Tilt 2. If anyone would like to write a config file for other devices (Rhodium or not), I've included documentation on how to do so, and I'd be happy to help.
You can grab the Tilt 2 version of Crud Scraper here.

So essentially this is an uninstaller that gets rid of everything left by an app?

Can you post the cab right here? I have an aggressive firewall that I don't control that prohibits your linked site as 'Free Pages' ..sheesh!
That sounds good and i will test it on the Rhodium 100 aka Touch Pro 2. Will report later.
Love the icon
I ran it after having removed 90% of what it scrapes, and it worked like a charm. Thanks, great utility!

That's right. It can either uninstall an app, or finish removing what's left of an app that was not properly uninstalled.

I didn't even realize the files could be hosted here as a normal user. I've just edited the main post of this thread to include the file you'll need.
Bear in mind that it's not a cab though. It's a zip file containing an exe and a config file for the Tilt 2. Just save those to the same folder on your device, run the exe, and the rest is self explanatory.

Could you make a cab of this for the T-mobile Touch Pro 2 please?

Did you ever get the chance to test this on the US TP2?
I have a CDMA phone (Verizon Rhodium 500)and would love to give it a shot.
Tried it on my Tilt2 unfortunately, I didn't have the option to remove the programs I installed the app to remove. Looks like it needs somemore development to be able to select everything on the phone. I can't comment on how good it works because I didn't remove anything. I do appreciate the effort though.

What app(s) specifically are you referring to?
The only apps it removes are the ones defined on the wiki entry defining the crapware here.
If I know what apps you'd like removed, then I can add those apps to the XML file that defines the list of apps to check for.

Be nice for a sprint version what do you need in order to make one
HELP!!!
Ok, I'm at my wits end. I've downloaded the zip, extracted the files & copied them to the phone (was drag & drop ok?). I can't get the program to launch. I just get windows offering to run out to the web to find a fix.
How do you execute it? I don't see it listed on the phone itself so I thought I should do it via the laptop on the .exe that was on the phone.
Does it matter what OS is on my laptop?
AWESOME!
Just want to say that pyromosh is awesome. Walked me thought what I needed to do.
For those that don't have Framework 3.5 - you need to install that on your PC then dig down in that folder to get the 3.5 cab file to move to your phone and install.
After that, it works like a charm.
On happy Texan gal here.
great program, pyromash....
i was directed to this thread because I'm trying to delete the actual .exe files from the Windows folder (plus some other stuff like the bloat mp3's)... i tried with File Explorer & Total Commander... these delete attempts all failed...
is there a way to do this??

Windows Folder Icons

Hi
Can anyone direct me to the location of the the windows folder icons for Applications, Connections, Multimedia and System Tools as shown below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have Pm'd the author of WM Longlife (before you ask) but he can't remember which device he took the screenshot from.
I have found the Office Mobile and Games Icons quite easily and used them in my WM6.1 menu screen as per post #9 of this thread but I can't find the others.
I guess it may be that the folder icons are not on the Topazas standard, in which case is it possiblefor me to import them if someone uploads them onto here?
Many thanks.
im searchin' these icons,too. Can some post the path to the "System Tools" Icon please.
The icons are inside the shellres.dll. You need to edit that dll with a resource editor to change them.
dwizzy130
Thanks Dwizzy but I'm afraid that doesn't mean very much to me - I'm not very teccy.
I've looked in the Windows folder an the dll you mention doesn't appear. (there are some with similar names)
When I created the Office Mobile and Games folders as per the thread I referred to the icons appeared automatically as there was an icon.lnk in the folders. When using explorer though, these .lnk files are no longer visible.
I just tried to create a new .lnk file in a folder called Applications but the files dissapeared afer I rebooted!
I'm just fumbling around really so if you can give some more detailled guidance that would be kind. Thanks.
Adam.

Well the icon.lnk is just a shortcut pointing to the actual icon resource inside the shellres.xxx.dll (Or other dlls). For example, inside the icon.lnk for the Games folder:
1#shellres.dll,-8229
That's all it is. It tells the folder what dll to look in and the -8299 refers to the exact resource number.
Also, are you using WM6.1 or WM6.5?
If you are using 6.5 then there is a much easier way to do this....
dwizzy130
I'm using WM6.1 (When I saw all the comments on here from people that had upgraded I decided it wasn't worth the hassle!)
Are you able to tell what the resource numbers are for the icons in question then?
Thanks.

Not sure if it helps, but I attached all icons that are stored in the shellresxxx.dll file. You should find at least the icon files for the folders inside.
For creating shortcuts, use Resco File Explorer or another free file explorer.
Thanks for the reply BeeGee but I think those Icons come from WM6.5 and I'm using 6.1.
Do you remember that the reference for the Games Folder Icon is: shelres.dll,-8229. Its the equivalent for the folders in question that I'm after.
I also don't have a file simply called shelres.dll. I have three called:
shellresapps.192.dll
shellresapps.96.dll
shellresapps.dll.0409.mui
I've tried using three different resource editors but none will find the phone in the directory tree and I therefore cant get access to the files. I also can't copy the files to my PC because they are protected.
been searching for these icons for a while. there you go...
