Utilising the Volume slider

Does any of you guys know how to utilise the volume slider to do different things - especially scrolling within menues and applications :?:
Also, is it possible - i.e. is there any software available or any other means, such as 'hacking' into the system - to constantly modify and change the button functions on the device :?: :?:
As a newbie (and somewhat WM-challanged ) to the Windows Mobile/PPC platform I would greatly appreciate some detailed explanations rather than simplified one liners... Thanks in advance

Sadly, the Volume Slider can only be used in Pocket Internet Explorer when in FULL SCREEN mode to scroll up and down. Till now that is as far as anyone I have seen come up with for the volume slider.
As far as the other hardware buttons are concerned, don't know how much of a newbie you are, but WM5 allows you to change them, if you go into Settings, Buttons.
Beyond that there are several software applications available for WM2003 that map the hardware buttons, but not sure if they are at all stable with WM5 and the Jasjar/Exec/Universal - they could cause your machine to lock up and then you need to do a hard reset and will lose everything, so keep that in mind if trying.
Software apps for WM2003 include VITO ButtonMapper, buttonMax.

AE Button Plus seemed to work fine for me. I re-mapped everything; it's very nice in Isilo on VGA mode to be able to "zoom" in and out by scaling the font with the volume control.

Damn. just shelled out for Vito Buttonmapper too...
Doesn't allow mapping of the backlight, volume slider, although got the backlight button sorted with a simple wee reghack got on xdadev.
Volume Slider is something I'd love to be able to map now...
EDIT: Vijay, is it working for you in WM5.0 on a JASJAR-type device?

hmm, i just got asked this by chakra via PM and i think i was confused. works fine on wm2003. not sure if i'm using it on wm5 because i'm working on something to improve scrolling in PIE using vol buttons. AEButtons shld work on wm5 i imagine, but check out the thread on assigning apps to backllght button. this should help you to assign apps to any button.

Yup, got my backlight setup as a free button for any use now, thanks to the reg hack I d/l from here... - What would we do without you guys?
vijay, what language or utilities do you use to program these utilities, how hard is it, and what's your background to make you get to that level of ability?

biker: glad you got things working. i program in c++ for the pocketpc and VB for the pc. My background is entirely non programmimg, I'm a lawyer working in the UK.
I've been into computers for years, but only got into the pocketpc this August (i had an ipaq 5years ago but didn't get into it).Since August i managed to upgrade from a p900 to Magician, which was great. but very quickly i realised there were many features missing that i wanted. evb is very bad, and to program today plugins i needed to face learning c++ for the first time.
i've grabbed a couple of books and some online tutorials and started hacking away. it's a steep learning curve but rewarding. i consider myself incompetent at
c++, and still have lots to learn.
Easy? no. requires lots of patience and a mind not easily frustrated (and can survive without sleep!), but as i said, i am happy when my stuff works, and a hundred times more so when you guys find it useful!

Just uninstalled buttonmapper.
It worked well when I installed it to SD card, but that's not recommended apparently - I got an error message each time I rebooted.
So, uninstalled it, and the error message was still there. So, reghacked that away, and also the fact that it had mapped my right softkey (which it can't do!) to something else - got round that.
Anyhow, installed it to main memory, and it appears to work, no error messages, but none of the button reassignments work. At all. Useless.
And their support site has to be seen to be believed - it is clearly written to put people off looking for support. It's terrible. I've used easy and comprehensive support sites in my time, eveything from a simple email to a ticket based system., and this is the worst I've seen.
Waste of money for me, and more annoyingly, a waste of time.

Nothing like simple utilities that fill a gap, that just work, extremely well...
On the other hand, I've no time for stuff that refuses to work, as the post above shows!

Serious stuff!

have to say, although it's a nice app, it's the only app then ever forced me to hard reset. i lost my my buttons control panel and various other problems.
buttonMax was very clever on wm2003 and i think is now out for wm5. worked well except it had an arbitary limitation on customisable keys other than default 5. great app though.
in the end, i just just smallmenu assigned to one hardware key and programmenu assigned to another, for 2 custom launcher menus

Loving the submenus... definitely installing this, my program menu under gs-whatever is one ridiculously long scroll...

volume slider
actually i have found - going back to the original question of the thread -that you can scroll with the volume slider in any program that supports going full screen!

Terminal Server Client for 2003

Hi,
Is it possible to get an update for the Terminal Server Client so it can run on the Windows Server 2003.
/Jesper

You mean have W2K3 accessed via your HTC Universal? AFIAK it's always been possible. Indeed, I've been doing that since I bought my MDA Pro in the week of the UK launch about a year ago

You only need to adjust the settings on the Server to allow the Client Compatible enryption level as the WM2003/WM5 TS client does not support 128 bit encryption.
If want a good experience search out VJFSTSC from this site
(VJ's Full screen Terminal Server Client). A full 640x480 screen makes the Exec an excellent tool to administer servers without needing to cart a laptop around

I didn't think anyone was still using it! I'll have to update it when I get a few spare minutes!

yes i'm using it and have run into problems
somehow when i use full screen mode (it took ages to figure out i had to disable "limit server size to fit screen", if it was enabled your full screen hack didn't work), the last line at the bottom will not respond, i.e the taskbar, anything on it, and the start button. if i don't use your hack, no problems. (but no full screen either )
a friend's qtek 9000 doesn't have this problem with your hack.
do you have any ideas? :idea: thanks..

cmonex: you need to post in the VJFSTSC thread, but this was a bug with an earlier version, that should have been fixed in the latest version. I haven't worked on it for months and months due a perversly busy schedule, but I'll try to look into it further. It still needs lots of work.
V

vijay555
I'm using it for some time now,..and it works GREAT! especially running in VGA mode...
thanx!
arjan

FYI all, there has been a post that you can use a virtual screen manager with VJFSTSC to get >VGA screen resolutions, eg SVGA. It'll look quite crap, but it should work... but I think opening word (and Vista?) on your Universal is a cool way to make a gadget freak's mouth water.

YES PLEASE
I've found your little app to be one of the most useful apps for the Exec.
1024x768 shrunk to fit the screen is terrible but using a 800 x 600 @ 100% screen and virtual display's navigational options to scroll around has proved to be usefull from time to time.
When you get some time to update VJFSTSC I'd be glad to put forward a few suggestions but something that would be neat would be an ability to map a couple of buttons to CTRL & ALT but only whilst VJFSTSC is running

yes ctrl+alt would be very useful.

cant find any thread VJFSTSC. please give me a direct link to it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33759&highlight=vjfullscreen
What do you guys mean about the ctrl+alt key combos? Give me an example.
V

As certain keys such as <CTRL> , <ALT> and maybe <Esc> are not found on the Exec but are used quite a bit on Windows it would be really usefull if these keys could be mapped to some of the physical keys such as the E-mail, Home Page, Contacts, Phone but only when VJFSTSC is active. Normally these buttons are assigned to their own functions but this behavior is overridden whilst VJFSTSC is active.
This could be taken a small step further by assigning the Windows key to open the START menu on the windows PC instead of the Exec and possibly using the Ok key to bring up a configuration menu in VJFSTSC with a few other options including the ability to save a config file so any settings such as show/hide SIP are retained the next time VJFSTSC is launched.
I better stop there, as I was intending to give an example of mapping options not a full blown wishlist

thanks, vijay555.
nice ideas, Taz69... would be real cool.

Power Off Button

Hi all, just been playing around with Vario II Hermes and when I held the side power on/off button for five seconds it powered down the phone and turned everything off, radio etc just like I a normal mobile. When I do this with the Universal it just turns off the backlight. My question is was this feature built into the Hermes or can I purchase some some software that will do the same on my Uni.
Thanks all for taking the time to read.

Hi cktlcmd, but i think UR mistaken, pshutxp can only restart, switch off display but switch off device cannot- radio is still on and some other progs as well. I think college's looking for something that can switch Uni totaly like if U remove battery. Artemis if i hold powerbutton asks me if i wanna switch off and if yes it switches itself absolutly off (radio, screen ....... no battery drain)

Thanks to the above two for attempting to answer my questions. cktlcmd and phsnake. However as phsnake points out this is EXACTLY what I am looking for. I do not mind paying the price for the software if it exists. Thanks again both of you for replying. The search goes on...
Tom.

Hi, please, if you find something, tell us.
best regards

For powering down (not putting into standby) a Universal or other xscale htc, try my app VJEschaton (on my website), using the command line -sleep
Please read the info on my website on usage etc. Let me know if it works for you.
V

Perfect, eschalon is working, but after using it it looks like, that U need to use reset hole to start uni.
thx

You do need to poke it I'm afraid. I do mention that on the webpage I think. I never bothered to tweak the app beyond the initial test, it does what I need to do
BTW, Eschaton, not eschalon.
V

Sorry vijay555..but whit this program,you can power off entirely the Universal??No sleep mode,i intend..
It is possible??

IRREAL: yes, this will power off the Universal and the Magician, and maybe other xscale phones. Not standby, but power off.
I call it "sleep" because I'm not sure if it's 100% off, but I reckon it's about 99% off As far as I can tell, it's off.
V

Sorry, eschaton.
to vijay555, i don't know how it works i gues it "underclocks" processor to i.e. 1hz? just curious.

No, but it does change the processor operation mode to off.
However, there are various hardware components that should normally be "gracefully" powered down, eg the various clocks, LCD, and you should normally ensure that all pending writes to memory have been completed before shutdown.
My version doesn't do all of those things, so you probably couldn't call it a "retail" solution, but it does work, at least for Xscales. The Mio a701 which is also xscale didn't work, so I need to rewrite it, but as I don't use my mio much these days, I didn't bother rewriting it. And now I have a hermes as my main device, which has the samsung processor so is not compatible. I could probably rewrite it to be compatible, but the Hermes already has a power down mode. I've not had time to fully investigate how HTC are shutting it down. It appears to be using some odd undocumented API calls, but it may be something else entirely.

Slightly off topic

vijay555: I know it's slightly off this topic but how does the Hermes compare to the Universal - I am thinking of upgrading.

I think the Hermes is a great phone, IMHO the best HTC have done of the pre WM6 generation. However, other manufactures have some good stuff out, like the eten GloFish and gigabytes, and the WM6 phones are coming with great VGA screens etc.
But if you're asking how the Hermes is, I think it's great. A little chunky, but not unduly. Highly functional, keyboard is discrete but very usable. Bright screen (with VJLumos III). Does the job, and does it well!
Universal - I don't miss it at all, except for the VGA screen. I've never found the Universal to be a useful phone as I wear a suit all day, and need a phone that slips in my pocket. It's a great phone from a technical point of view, but just too big!
Hermes gets an 8/10 from me, at the time of release. Take into account it's a bit old now though.

Thanks for that. I love the Uni (even as a phone in a suit) but I'm going to have a chance to upgrade soon and I'd like a bit more speed. Open options at the moment seem to be the Hermes, the O2 Zinc. I'd quite like an Imate Ultimate 7150 but I'd have to pay for that!!

Ok..i have installed this app on my Universal..but the function for Power off not is visible in the list??
Vijay how to apply this function?
Thanks.

make shortcut with commandline parameter sleep i.e: ....vjeschaton.exe sleep
for exam with ilauncher or trru aebuttonplus

Can you be more precise for the explanation?
My directory of installation is in the main memory..
thanks.

in resco fileexplorer tap vj...exe,send to starmenu or smth. then edit shcut in npad & at the end add [space]sleep

Make sure that you're using the BETA version, at the bottom of the page on my webpage. (v0.2 at time of writing).
My advice, download the normal cab, install, then download the beta v0.2, write this over the .exe file in the original cab (ie drop it into \program files\vijay555\vjeschaton)
Now you need to make the shortcut as described above.
Easiest way is to find the example shortcuts in your \windows\start menu directory, COPY one, paste it back in as a copy (so you have two copies of a shortcut), then edit the COPIED shortcut, rename it to Sleep, and editing the command line to say sleep)
That should do the job.

[Developement Thread|12 Oct 2007] Marshall Transparent WaitCursor

___________________________________________
MWC has been released: please follow the discussion here: MWC thread
___________________________________________
UPDATE: October 12th, 2007 - The animation will now show with no flickering.
Dear developers,
I started the developement of a WM WaitCursor replacement. Since the default WM graphic module (gwes.exe for WM5 and shellres.96.dll for WM6) doesn't support transparent images for the WaitCursor, I'd like to add this feature to our devices.
The idea is quite simple:
- Remove the WaitCursor Resources from that modules
- Write an application that catch the WaitCursor event (if it exists) and shows an user defined one.
I already wrote a initial application that shows a cursor only when executed and it works quite good. It is written in Native C++ that means more efficency and less memory usage.
The application runs in background and has no window so it doesn't show any "close" button and no soft-keys.
The images (PNG with alpha transparence!!!) are loaded from a directory and drawed in the screen (the IImagingFactory interface is no more used because it's too slow).
Here are some screenshots...

}
Below, you'll find a video of the product in action.

Help wanted
Anyway I have 2 major problems:
If there is another window opened and I scroll that window, the already drawed pictures scroll, too.
The pictures are painted over the precedent ones, so if there is a transparent picture, the back one is still present. (To avoid that problem I tried to capture the portion of the screen and paint it just before every picture with BitBlt, but it introduces a little flicker problem)
If someone is experienced with the GDI and can suggest me a way to solve that problem or a better way to draw that pictures I'll appreciate it very much.
And do you know which event is thrown when the WaitCursor is showed? So i can catch it.
thank you very much for every help you give me.
Marshall

I attached a video in the first post showing the potential of this application.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I just wanna point out that your first problem might not be a problem at all... Can you scroll when the current / official wait icon is shown ? i think not, since that is why it is shown, to let you know there's nothing you can do but wait... I'm not sure, but my guess is that nothing can happen under your cursor once you show it when it's supposed to be shown.
About the second problem, i have no idea...

wow i like what i see. cannot help with "flicker" though...video and info explains why mac wait cursor is not possible now ....

Good point! Thank you RPG0. Maybe it could be a problem if you, for example delete a file. The WaitCursor appears (it can happen in the \windows dir) and the file explorer remove that line and makes the window scroll because now one file is missing. I'm not sure but maybe this situation could introduce that error.
BTW, at the moment it is not so important. Thank you again.

Actually it could be possible in some way. If I capture the screen and draw it before every frame, the "overlapping" problem will not occur. But, like I saied, it will introduce the flicker issue. I believe that there is a way to do it with no flickering but I'm still looking for it.
Marshall

...this guy is so smart...can´t wait to see it´s first stable release...keep up this cool work.
...btw...when you managed the waitcursor to get transparency, this should also work for the pop-up windows eg for new sms coming in????...wow imagine the posibilities...

The projects is going on, a bit slowly since I'm very busy and I have some issues with the new version.
I finally eliminated the flicker problem replacing the IImage functions with the better bitblt but I'm still getting some problems with the AlphaBlend function to draw the pictures transparently.
BTW, like you said, it can bring lot of possibilities!
Marshall

I have the xda neo with gullums prophet VIII. I copied at first touch wait cursor to programs folder and tried to install. After installation it makes a softreset, but the old waitcursor is on screen, not the new installed. I tried it again with vista cursor...the same. What can i do?

Me Too!
I'm also getting the same issue. I use LSW's Black WM6 OS.

This questions should be posted at the Marshall WaitCursor Skin thread. This is the Developement thread of the "Transparent" WaitCursor.
However, the skins you installed are for WM5. You have to install a WM6 version. At the moment only the Touch WaitCursor Skin is available for WM6 but all the others are coming soon.
You'll find it at the bottom of the languages list for the Touch WaitCursor Skin at the download page.

Good news!
I finally was able to show the animation with no flickering. This "little" step will make it possible to use any kind of transparent pictures (even MAC and Linux Bouncing cursors). Ther'll be no overlapping between two different frames in total smoothness.
The next step will be capturing the moment in which the OS shows the default WaitCursor in order to show mine. I sadly discovered that there is no event thrown by the system in that situation, so I'll have to look for another way. I read somewhere that it can be done with the WM Cursor APIs but it seems to not work.
If you know a way to let the application know when the OS shows (and hides) the default WaitCursor, please tell me.
Any other help will be also appreciated.

yes. No button mapping needed.. PTT button is a software button on program.

Likin it! Thanks Volt
I also can verify that it is working nicely, a few glitches to work out all in good time. I used HButton to remap the program so when minimized it comes up, then on my wizard I use the center on the d pad and hold while I talk then release. Just like nextel, bit slower but free, what can I say! You have to (sender and receiver) both be set up on the system to communicate but that doesn't take too long to get set up. Put the word out and we can all help work out the kinks so this system can run smoothly. Remeber before you lauch you must already be connected to the internet. Andason is also correct, if you leave it open then you would not have to do any mapping at all as the program uses the select button on your phone. If it is a different button on your phone it will not be difficult to find by trial and error. Remapping isn't that difficult and HButton is a free program, works great...................Later.

Hey Voltage?
Hey Voltage do you know how a person with a touch screen only (no hardware buttons) can utilize this great software. Is there an issue because of the lack of a default hardware button to access?

hey wanted to just re-post that the developers are watching

Great application. Works on Wifi with obvious delay. It did work with the T-mobile proxy plan but was obviously slow and unusable.

Ok, been messing a bit with this, dosent work when installed to storage card for me i dont even get an icon, and i cant add any contacts with it installed to device or add a group all i see is echo which is myself...what am i doing wrong i cant find any info on it
****edit*** NM i guess u have to install the desktop app to add people, which i dont understand at all, so i guess whoever you want to PTT has to have this installed also with an account, i guess i can see some fuctionality, but i wont be using this personally most people i know wont use this type of app
