Turn Bluetooth ON/OFF from Today?

Is there any programs that will let me turn Bluetooth & WiFi on/off directly from the today screen?
By directly I mean a toggle switch rather than a link to the settings page?
Anyone know of one? I've got SPB PockePlus installed, but that doesn't seem to have that option in there?
Thanks

That seems like it'll do the trick, but PocketPlus won't let me assign arguments to an exe, so is there anything freeware that can?

Create a link (.lnk) to the .exe. Put all the arguments you need in it. Use the link with pocketPlus.

How do I create a link/shortcut on the PPC though, I have no option in the context menus?

Start > Programs > File Explorer
tap&hold on the ap, choose "Copy"
tap&hold in an empty area, choose "Paste Shortcut"
I recommend using Total Commander instead. It has a built-in simple text editor, which makes it easier to edit that shortcut than opening it up in Pocket Word and whatnot.

And for very specialist markets, where an app that won't let you use shortcuts at all, try VJBrisk.

Sorted, got it working now. Thanks chaps.
Just on the look out for some Bluetooth icons to show on or off. Also, any progress on getting the wifi to work without have to enable it first via comm manager?

Scottland - not just yet, I haven't had a wizard to play with so far, so can only really test on the Universal. One day, I'll do it...

Go here and register for modaco if you are not a member in order to download the attachment. It is a small program that toggles bluetooth. I usually use my voice command to run it although you could put it in your start menu or on your today screen I guess if you want it there.

Hermes Control Panel Applets
Hey,
I have reviewed the list of control panel applets and tested them. I will attach all of the working HERMES applets. All of these will display the default icons used in the control panel. If you change these to .txt files you can see the links.

Thats want I want, what I really really want

How did you edit the .ini file?

^^^ Same question here.
I have no issue updating. I just don't know what to do.
I downloaded and will run the file. I will take a closer look.
PS: WICKED FIND! I was starting to think that it was lost to us.

Connected the phone via activesync and copied the file to my pc. Then I can edit with notepad by right click - open with etc. If that's not working for you drag the file and drop it onto a notepad icon

I do not know how to do that, but I managed to map hardware button to slide.exe. To do that you have to create a link to it (for example to programs folder). Then you can map this link via Settings >> Buttons. Only issue I am having is that the time is lagging two hours on Slider screen.

Any ideas yet on how to get the time in the the launcher program to sync with the phone itself? Mine is still running 4 hours ahead.

Just a guess - I don't have the application installed and haven't had that program but your phone has to clock settings Home -> Visting. Maybe your phone is accidentally set to Visiting clock and the home clock is off by a bit and the applications are pulling the time from the Home clock? It's a shot in the dark guess but worth a shot!

Well

Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing that i checked when i noticed the problem

Clock Off
Best guess I can give is that the time isn't being adjusted for time zone. Mine is 5 hours ahead and I am in US Central time zone (GMT -6) so it is close to Greenwich mean time.
I would try to fix this myself since the source is provided but I need a developers kit and a compiler...
Edited:
Actually if I remember correctly (big IF) daylight savings time is a US thing so with DST right now that would put the offset right at GMT.

anybody figure out how to fix the timing issue

HTC Mapping recent calls to a Soft Key??

I have the Softkey program already.... and I am guessing that the recent calls are part of the phone program and that there probably isn't a separate exe for it... but if anyone knows how to pull up the call list I would really appreciate it. Everyone ignores me on here and I know it's the cool thing to do but you could be an awesome trend setter by throwing me a bone!
=)

Try this. It's work for me.

Thanks dude... really appreciate it... trying to figure out how to make it show up as an option in Softkey... tried putting it in program files, didn't work... so now trying the Windows dir.

Nevermind, used a diff. soft key app that allows you to choose program path... works like a charm, I am in your debt!

- Download the CallHistory.zip from Post number two
- Extraxt the CallHistory.exe anywhere to your pda (memory or storagecard)
- Now search for Remap Softkeys on google and install the cab file on your pda
- When installed open it and change the path of the left softkey with the CallHistory.exe

I tried 5 different callhistory.exe and this is the first one that actually brought up the history and not the dialer. Thanks!

Microphone accessory - button for Voice Command

If you push the button on the microphone which comes with the X1, it answers a call. If you push it twice it seems to call the last person you called.
Is there a way to use this button to invoke the Voice Command monitor?
Thanks

I found it easier just to re-direct the Soft Buttons!!
Left for Voice Command, Right for Comm Manager
Stuart

Yep, that's exactly what I have. Best set-up by far.
But when in the car, it would be easier to use the mic button, so I'd like to double up on Voice Command access.

So.. no-one else has managed this either?

Take a look at here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"Path"="\\Windows\\<what ever program>.exe"
"VoiceCmdEnable"=dword:0
"LaunchAPEnable"=dword:1
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dword:a
I am going to include Cyberon VC 2.0 in my rom but it will be Cantonese since it's my native language.

So, to recap the request was for a way to use the Microphone button as the Voice Command button...

What is this goint to change? I searched the registry for a way to use th mic-headset-button as a remote for my X1...which means to map a button, application, etc to it. Is this the way to do so?

Beside the "push once', and "double push", a "push & hold" action will call this exe such as Voice commander in my example.

But this doesn't have anything to do with the microphone button.

Do you read? Of course it does if you are talking about the button in the pic
If you "hold" the button, yr X1 will call the exe program specified in this registry. X1 stock rom does not comes w/ any VC program and you have to install one yrself. Of course, if you put in other program like Core player, it will be start if you hold the button.

pearls before swine mate....
there are some new members on here lately who need to learn that when a more ePerienced member gives them advice they arent doing it because they like the sound of their own voice
at45 theres a good reason why people keep saying read and search, and quite a lot of it is to do with the attitude you've shown here.here.

Thanks guys!!!
I've been looking for this for quite a while. Really Thanks! Now just need to try to map this button as next rack in Mortplayer...If i found the way, I'll post it here!

Wait, I'm being criticised for being rude and not searching?

Firstly, where have I been rude? Secondly, this has nothing to do with searching. I would challenge you to find a single thread on this subject anywhere else on the whole internet, started before this one. If you're going to criticise at least make some of the criticism partially relevant.
Jackleung, thanks for the solution, but in response to your manner, if you post an arbitrary reg key (a key which has no logical connection to the described solution) and which doesn't work if the instructions are followed (due to the wrong syntax), you should expect for that solution to be met with scepticism.

Coming bach to the original topic:
I wrote a script (thanks, Mort!) that enebles the tap&hold (2-3sec) of the Microphone Button to jump to the next track in Mortplayer (if it is running).
Just copy the two files attached to the \Windows\ directory and change the Registry entry as descibed in Post #5 to
Registry said:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path = "\Windows\MP-NT.exe"

Thats it. Run Mortplayer and give it a try, works perfect for me!
Edit: script is working!

Hey, thanks a lot!
It seems I will install MortPlayer on my X1. Or is there a possibility to do the same with the media panel?
PS: In the script you write "not yet working". Is that the correct file?

Can you tell me where in the settings you change soft buttons. Is it Settings/Buttons? I am not sure what the 6 buttons represent. I have searched for an explanation but haven't found one.

There are two different ways for the X1, to remap the soft keys. One is via the button settings in the windows settings, which is a global override which causes the buttons not to behave as softkeys anymore, and the other is via registry setting (have a look into the Wiki here), that maps specific applications to the softkeys while in today view - this way, the softkeys stay available in all other applications. I personally prefer the last approuch, because I don't like fingerprints on my screen.

No, this only works with mortplayer as you need the possibility to change the track via an exe file or at least an exe with a parameter (like in my script)...If you find a way to do this with the media panel (which i doubt you will ) we could have it...otherwise not.
