Screan transition when going to sleep (wm7)

I was reading through this page:
http://microsoft.blognewschannel.co...bile-7-to-focus-on-touch-and-motion-gestures/
and I was especially interesting in this image:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I was thinking this sort of "transition" before going to sleep would be possible using something like mortscript. I havn't done a lot with mortscript but I was wondering if anyone else thinks this is possible?

WELL! this reminds me of a third party program .. I wish I could remember or find the name. It was posted to a free software forum (which I can't mention unless you PM).
Basically it had 6-10 transitions (that you can set for random if desired) that occurred wwen you woke up the device or put it into standby. IT was fluid, worked well, and looked awesome. IIRC, it even had a "Swoosh" sound when the screen spun around and zoomed down to a dot, then shut off. I got rid of it because the activation wasn't working correctly.
It will certainly look awesome on my phone now, with pointUI and slide2unlock on it. I would buy it today if I could find it ........
If I remember or discover it, I will reply to this.
Of course, RE: your original post, it would certain be amazing to see this feature built-in to WM7. I would like to see the whole entire OS have MUCH more animation, fluid sliding/scrolling movements .. like the iPhone. The hardware is certainly capable of it (as seen in PointUI)!

pocket suspend fx maybe is the one you looking for.

Its not freeware. It was once offered on handago, but no longer. The developers website is under construction [http://solidorb.marvelz.com/index.html]
I emailed them asking about it, you might want to do the same (email is on their website).
FYI the program costs $10.

I absolutely love that transitions program except that there's no way (at least not that I've heard of) to map that program to work when you hit the power button. Perhaps I will pay for it when someone cracks how to remap the power key.

Hello
Since some of you guys asked about this , well there you go:
if you look inside the keyboard driver with a good disassembler (IDA Pro) you would see that you can create these link files :
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnl (Power button)
So basically all you need is to create these link files and put them in to windows folder. You can assign these keys to any shortcut you want
I attached one of my favorite short cuts unzip the file then put it in to your windows folder. then press Send Key for about 2 to 3 second to run the shortcut. It will bring up the wifi networks.
Have fun.

ps:for assigning EndKey to HTC EndKey look here:

1 and 2 are the same just yhe second one is a cab file for pocket suspend fx and first one is pc exe file and the third and fourth are htc end key if u have the latest htc device then it does have it if u have other device then htc then u can install this htc software to your device and the last one fourth is a hack to map a button to a software !!
and sorry pocket suspend fx is not [email protected] !!! you can find it in other places !!!

i set the short press power button to enable pocket suspend FX but there is no way to wake up the screen with the push of the power button is there anyway to fix that?

hah .. good question. How did you turn your pda back on?!
You would think the Pocket Suspend FX dev's would have figured that part out ....
Looking forward to the answer.

haha i turned it on by connecting it to activesync and then i deleted the shortcut i made until i find a way to turn it on with the power button

seems to work fine when mapped to the short press power button, but when depressing the power button from standby (short press), my device wont wake up unless i hold the power button for longer than usually necessary?
for now, ive assigned power suspend fx to the long press power button unless i can get it to work in a more traditional manner
jd

i used this app a while ago but i hate it that when my screen is off the program is already transitioning back to the normal screen what normaly should only happen when you put the device back on.
is this the same with you guys?

how do you know if your screen is off whats happening on your screen?
jd

Anyone
Did anyone try again something to know how really Suspend FX works ??

Hate to bring this up again after its been dead for a while but any new updates from any of you on getting this to work?
I tried messing around with s2u2 and replacing the exes with the PocketSuspend one since s2u2 starts and stops with the press of the power button... but not luck yet other than it works like it supposed to the first time then just dies or something.

[new release: "Kontoor"] Screen Fade on Suspend (help needed!)

I saw this idea in another thread that I don't currently remember, and I thought I could do it.
Kontoor fades out the screen, suspends the device, and when it is resumed, the screen comes in fading.
The zipped EXE file is attached below. You're supposed to place it somewhere into internal memory and put a shortcut to it to \Windows and name it "Short_Power.lnk", but it doesn't work on my device and Kontoor doesn't run. I'm seeking help for that! Many thanks.
Note that the attached EXE file is a test version.
Also, note that there may be other problems or improveable areas:
- starting the program 2 times will most probably wreck havoc (or pressing the power button 2 times , if it works for you)
- most probably, will not work when in games and other framebuffer-apps
- taskbar changes to "Start" before fading, if nothing changes it's better
- sluggish PDA's (like the HTC Universal I have) may experience added slowdown during resume
- ****ty PDA's (like the HTC Universal ) flash a brief white screen when resuming... it's a bit anti-aesthetic, and I can't control that
many thanks for you audience

yeah..it was requested by nesty24...thanks

wtf... i post something here, hoping it'll get some attention, and the only attention I get is the spam's

I tried it on my Prophet and Kaiser on prophet it does nothing at all. on kaiser it fades out nicely and I like it but when I press to turn screen on it fades out again. having real dificulties turning my screen back on. but the fading looks cool and now I have a reason to flash my next test rom

The exe works fine on my Sprint Vogue. I don't have a Short_Power.lnk in my Windows dir so when I copied it over, it did nothing. Any other way to set this app to run when the power button is pressed?

You guys probably haven't heard of SuspendFX havent you?

Not all devices use the "short_power.lnk" method. I think newer devices like the Kaiser do, but older devices such as the universal and the Prophet have a different method. I shall look into the registry and see if it links from there.

It costs money is the problem ! However in this case it is such a showstopping program, and if remember very cheap, then I agree with you.... Give him some money and enjoy !(My kids keep asking me to switch on/off my PDA since I bought it !)

hmmm. it is somehow like that, but not fading, i mean, maybe fading maybe a feature, but it's not the real function. The idea was on the backlight, when you didn't touch your device (it is power on) for a several seconds, it fades out or dims and get to normal when you touches it again.

Battery Drain?
I try this on my HTC Touch Cruise. It works perfect, but i think my battery is draining faster. Anyone else who had the some problem?
I think it goes not in really standby mode and the screen is only going blank.
I will test it over night again.

Maybe a mortscript could be written that detects any kind of usage (or lack of usage) and then executes this program after a set time.

That could be done, but I don't think it would work just right on every PDA... most PDA have different screen backlight settings, some have more light steps, some only 3 settings.... and I think it would stress the light hardware....

you're right, the app just turns off the screen but doesn't go on standby mode right away, however, it should still go on automatic standby mode (after 30 seconds for me) if you have configured it on your power settings
if you are using spb mobile shell and have configured to show Now screen when device wakes up, you'll notice if you use this app to turn off the screen and you press power button to wake up your device right away, spb gives a sign that it didn't came from standby mode, it shows the last screen you've left.. just my observation, i could be wrong though

ADDED extra file for download, this file will let you choose how to start bluetooth visible/hidden but only first time you run it, after that it will start with the choice you made (don't know if this file supports how many phones, but it works on X1) View attachment 153943 thanx khaan for the Xperia Bluetooth Switcher exe PS. NOT FOR HD2/TOUCH PRO 2, the HD2/touch pro2 actionscreen has another bluetooth switcher.

Sounds great. Hopefully looks great too. Any screenshots please!

Great stuff!
I was really missing the Action screen from TyTN II.
The only problem I noticed was the camera app will not start in this menu.
Also BT is started as "visible" - good if you want to receive something quickly from an unpaired phone, but not good if you want to start it for longer time such as using BT HF and be visible for all.

Pretty good. I like it, but i can't find any options....I can't find the folder it was installed to either lol.

Is there eny way to use another button for this?
Tks

ok some answers here.
its installed in windows dir because some files require that.
you can change the application launched in regestry, will post reg file later, as im typing on my x1 at the moment.
i will look into bluetooth, if there is some commandline i can use with the bt app, otherwise you can point the regfile to start the application caalled btswitcher.cab (search for it) in that you can choose not visable.
you can make a shortcut to action screen,place it in program, and use ae button plus to allocate another button to it.
regarding the camera its made for my swe rom, so you must change it in the reg file.
you will find all the button in regestry here
\\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\

The app works flawlessly thank you. I got 2 questions:
1 - Can i change the time-out time. Can it stay longer after i press the button.
2 - Can i change the buttons. Assigning programs to them, for example?

Editted the camera path to CameraRunner.exe to work on my x1a.

This is a very cool app which i think i will use for long.
Thanks smaberg!

sorry, time out can not be changed. The button graphics you can edit if you know how, the program launched when you press a button can easy be changed in regestry as descibed above.

Installed to my storage card at first but didn't work. Then tried again, but this time installing to device and it was ok. So it's gotta be installed to device?

WOW ..just.. wow dude....seriously. The more i use it the more i'm impressed. I can't believe i used my Xperia for so long without it . It ahs a problem with landscape mode though...can this be fixed, or is it something in my phone?

This cab, will let you choose first time you run it, after that it only starts up bluetooth, with the choice you made the first time.
And by the way no landscape support!

how about making this a penal?
great job though.
hey random idea, how cool will it be if you could bring up the "action screen penal" and some how activate an animation to spin the coloms around and have the ability to add contacts or apps? like the toshiba TG01 only simple.

I am starting the official "smaberg we want landscape support" campaign.

I really missed a working actionscreen on the TP2.
Due to the new Bluetooth driver the one for the Xperia wasn't working anymore.
You made me as happy as with your ROMs back then

sorry, but can you tell me what is it and what does it do?
(sorry for my english)

Have a look at the screenshot. It's an action screen that allows you to select certain actions like new SMS, appointment, task etc.
Works nice! Good to see my BT is working with this version.
Gonna make some changes myself:
- Left softkey to ActionScreen
- No conformation for soft reset
Attached the left softkey for who's interested.

Works fine!
Especially the one-click Wifi switch is very clever.
The only thing is the problem of hitting the powerbutton while typing in landscape mode.
It will launch this app while you're chatting, very annoying.

Hello,
This tips is good if you do not use the TF3D ... otherwise it is replaced by the one from the TF3D ...
Do you know where to modify it in the TF3D ?
Thanks.

Personally I am trying to avoid pushing any buttons, I'd rather have an option on the screen like a shortcut in the Start Menu or something.
Would that be possible?

Hello,
In the start menu, it is a shortcut. Not so difficult. After installing the cab above, you will go to "\Windows" folder and you search for "HTCActionScreen.exe" then you make a copy and after you go to the "Start Menu" folder and "Progams" folder and you make a "Paste shortcut".
And this is done.

I think that's the point, if he's anything like me, everytime I type in landscape mode, I accidentally end up holding the power button for 3 seconds with the side of my finger, I'm forever turning of the phone .
Nice app though, just going to put it on.

For those that don't want to confirm the Soft Reset action:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_10]
"Param"="/s"
Attatched the REG file for those that want to import the file to the registry.
Don't forget to make a soft reset afterwards

This is awesome! I would love to have this app. Is there any way to make the icons a bit more colorful? Thanks so much!

hi! congratulations GREAT app.
is there anyway to change the icon (add + contacts) to one (close screen) without suspend the device. it is very useful to who wants to ear music from the speaker phone. cause when you turn of the device the music stops.
tnx in advance

Excellent! Thanks for thinking about us poor TP2 users!

Very interesting appl.
Does someone test it with touch pro stock rom ?(I have the italian one).
Thanks

Smaberg rocks
Welcome to TP2...I have been an avid follower of yours on Xperia forum...great to see you got a TP2.
Look forward to your inputs in making our TP2 way better than the great device it already is!!!

Hmm after installing i tried the application but it doet not work properly.
When i push the I/O button of my TP2 the screen becomes totally black... but when i touch a button (that i dont see) the rolloverbutton appears in green.

[SOLVED] Answer key always enabled at incoming call (HTC dialer)

This is a major issue with the HTC HD2 Tachi dialer v4.2621.1920.3221 (standard factory dialer)
During an incoming call, Tachi dialer will enable the ANSWER hardware key (which is actually not that “hard” to press).
Possible consequences:
1. Auto answer a call while phone in pocket or bag and never notice it (especially if phone in mute or if ambient noise high)
2. While taking out of pocket or leather case, if ANSWER key pressed and then END pressed, call will drop.
In other words:

[EDIT: SOLVED]
Solution alternatives for this issue:
Use Pocketshield and set Settings > Phone > On Incoming call > "Lock hardware keys"
- or -
Use In Call Lock along with tweak in post #39

It's been this way with all their previous phones. Of course they won't fix it because it's not a bug.

Yes, the difference is that in all previous phones you can use a key locking solution... but not here so far.
Considering the fact that hard keys are now not too hard, it could be a functional issue (not bug exactly)

While I wholeheartedly agree that this is utterly annoying (and it breaks my own application, InCall Lock), I'm 199% confident they won't "fix" anything. Because they just won't, and also because if they do it they will get even more support calls with complaints that the answer button doesn't answer the call.

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556801. I haven't used it on my HD2 yet but it worked perfectly on my Touch Pro. It completely disables the hardware buttons during a call so only the screen can answer/reject.

That's a program I wrote and I know it doesn't work on HD2.

Are you planning on releasing an HD2-compatible update?

Whenever I figure out what the hell is wrong with those buttons, and if it's fixable, I will, because it annoys the hell out of me, too. No good news yet though - I don't know what to do at the moment. It should work, it works on all WM5+ devices except the Leo.
We also need proximity sensor tweaks, because the way it works now is just horrible. When you end a call using a headset the screen stays on. When you have an incoming call while using your headset it stays on during the whole call and remains on after that, completely unlocked.

This is definitely by design on HTC's part and as others have mentioned has been this way on all prior HTC phones, at least of the 4 that I have owned. Personally have have not had an "accidental" answering once from the hardware key, it still takes an effort and timing to push this exactly while the phone is ringing. I doubt this will be "fixed", your best bet would be to find someone here that is as concerned as you are about it, or possible a future app that might address this need.

Perhaps if HTC decide not to 'fix' this problem as they see it as "by-design" then instead they can just fix the fact the button ignores 3rd party lockers? Best of both worlds then..
Anyways I've dropped them an email to suggest such, one little voice I know but if enough people do similar than lots of little voices can sound quite loud..

Exactly. That is what HTC has to change. To just have the phone application to behave as all previous models do, so 3rd party applications can coexist...

Would very much like to see a solution for this problem indeed.
Goodluck to the ones with the skills capable of doing so.

That's a program I wrote and I know it doesn't work on HD2.

That's hilarious. It works perfectly on my 1.48 Dutch ROM. Thanks for this great utility (pity though, you yourself can't use it )

Hmm, maybe 1.48 changes something in the way keys are handled. Nice to know. Does it lock both Send and End buttons properly?

Yes, like you have designed to do. But I will look at the configuration of my device. I have another app installed that traps my buttons. I will report back if I can break your app. Otherwise, assume that I'm perfectly happy with it.
(Btw. as far as I can recollect, the app also worked on my pre-installed 1.43 Dutch Rom.)

Fixed (more or less)
OK, here is your fix. Create a long_send.lnk and place it in the windows folder. After that your app. does more or less what it is intended to do.
The weirdest thing is that when the send button is pressed when the phone is called (and your utility activated) the "long send" command is triggered.
(Edit for users that can't recompile your program to let it behave as it is supposed to, copy the phone.lnk in the startup/programs folder to the windows directory and rename it long_send.

Hmm that's even more strange - I have an action assigned to long send press via a shortcut and the program still doesn't work. I had an idea about writing a separate tiny program assigned to short press that would replace default action but haven't gotten to it yet. Is anybody willing to test whether short_send.lnk works (I.e. breaks the send button functionality)?

If you are using the WM dialer or maybe Phonex or Inesoft phone then there is no issue. Issue is with Tachi dialer only..
I have also flashed 1.48 and its all the same.
