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.

Believe me, it's appreciated!
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!

Just did....
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!

Titan Flashlight Application

Here's a release of a simple flashlight application I created for the mogul based on code Vijay was kind enough to release a while back. Launch the exe once to turn on the camera light, launch it again to disable.
That's the only feature! I've messaged vijay with the value he needs to update his application with mogul support, so I hope he'll do that in the future if he has time. But until then, I whipped up this.
It might be buggy and it isn't quite the fastest application out there (I wish I knew how to query the camera for the current status of the LED) but it's a neat little tech demo that someone might find useful. I'll post the source code later after I have a chance to clean it up.
Report back with any problems as I've only tested this on my device! (Sprint Mogul)
Also, here's the obligatory "this program could possible harm your device and I take no responsibility for such an event." Use with caution and I wouldn't recommend leaving this on for long periods of time.
I'm using it with AEBPlus and have it bound to my camera key.

GREAT WORK! ya i know.... the reason i made the script is 1 for a safety catch and 2 for ikandy...
the script will turn the light on for 30 sec and hten off... 60 sec the off.. or let u do it manually... i personally know i hit buttons sometimes so i set my side button to the 30 sec script...
heres the beta script the icons dont work perfect yet but hell for those of u who cant wait let me introduce... Flashlight by Nilisco WoW and Stroths
**THIS NO LONGER NEEDS MORTSCRIPT!**

ahhhh we have been waiting for this one...good work guys, can't wait to get this tested!

thanks but dont give me the credit ... this one is ALL Nilisco

anyone know how to add a icon to it, so when it shows up on my quicklaunch for the HTC home tab, it has a pretty little icon?

cab updated .... mortscript no longer needed

Vijay's code was the key:
Code:
void fn_FlashMode(int Mode_int)
{
HANDLE CamHandle;
//1=on
//2=off
//DWORD FlashMode=1;
//open camera
CamHandle = CreateFile(TEXT("CIF1:"), GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, 3, 0, NULL);
//Mogul specific device io
DWORD a=0x90002014;
DeviceIoControl(CamHandle, a, LPVOID(&Mode_int), sizeof(Mode_int), 0, NULL, NULL, NULL);
CloseHandle(CamHandle);
}
The only challenge in getting the flashlight working was to find the mogul io, which was right in the htc camera dll. The only way developers can communicate with it (I believe) is the DeviceIoControl win32 function, which is abstracted into functions in the camera dll. So, you just disassemble the driver dll, look for a DeviceIoControl command that looks to have something to do with flash, and bam, you've found the IO as it's a parameter in the function.

}
I didn't bother with the rest of my code (mainly just win32 registry changes to keep track if the light was on or off) as I believe my program will become a bit outdated as soon as someone posts the VJCandela hack they did without his permission.

I like this a lot. Also I'm impressed with the brightness of the moguls flash.

This works great. Any chance of making a version that stays on only if I am holding the specified button?
Vijay had one of his apps that I could assign to my left side 'press and hold' voice dial key. It would only stay on if I held it down and would also turn off after 15 secs of being held.
The current one works, but I am afraid of it staying on, and would also prefer it to turn off sooner when I am done with it.
So far so good though!

This is awesome!
I like the icons too!
Speaking of device-specific code, has anyone considered writing some code to re-route the audio to the internal handset speaker versus the external amplified one?
There are times that I think it would be useful to have audio coming through the handset... like if I want to play back voice recordings for only me to hear (vs the whole world when I play it out loud), or for VOIP apps like Skype. Right now, most voip apps use the outer loud speaker because every device accesses the internal one differently (or so they say).
This is quite a bit more complicated than a flashlite app, but there aren't enough Titan-specific developers yet to ask this anywhere else!
Figured I'd get your thoughts on this idea... what do you think it would take to write a small app to toggle the direction of audio?

no, that's odd... everything looks clean and works fine for me! I wonder why that would happen?

I put it on this am and it seems to work great. Nilisco might have me by the cajones, but at least I have a flashlight now

Does anyone else have this AND LED-killer 2 running?
LED killer appears to have removed my flashlight icons and replaced them with TREO?!
Weird...

LED Killer uses the scripticons.dll file for its icon. The flashlight app must have a customized version of this dll with its own icons added. Try uninstalling then reinstalling the flashlight app, soft reset and you will probably be fine. This will cause the flashlight's scripticons.dll to overwrite the LED Killer one.
EDIT: Don't worry about a virus from wowthatisrandom's post. I did a little work with him on this and its clean.

any one know how to add a icon to this exe? its a nice program but sucks that it has no icon...

You have to install it to main memory. I think I got that message when I tried to install it to the storage card.

if you go to the settings screen and then to buttons, you can reprogram any of the buttons on your device to launch the program. I have my voice recognition speeddial button reset to launch the program. Press it once, it turns on, push it again, it turns off. No need to hold down any buttons.

[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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
What can i do to make it work normally?
