How can I... - Touch Cruise ROM Development

Hi everybody,
I have some questions about modifying polaris:
1. How can I disable the battery-symbol in the title?
2. How can I make my Polaris be turned of after getting a new sms?
3. How can I enlarge the Symbols in the program-menue?
Thank you very much!

1. Schap's Advanced Config Tool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070 ) has an option to replace the battery icon with a clock/date.
2. I use S2U2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588 ) with the options "Lock when device wakes up" and "Power Off in [10s]" set, so that the phone switches on to receive the text, and switches off 10 seconds later if I don't unlock it. This also saves the odd time when the phone gets switched on accidentally in my pocket - it switches off again in 10s unless I slide to unlock, saving power.

The stock ROM comes with an application that enables large icons in the start menu. (It also makes the icons in the bar at the top larger so that it's finger friendly. It's also been found that turning this off improves navigation speed in the device).

How to stop screen on when new sms arrives?

Hi every one.
So i set "button lock" and also disable mainly all notifications but every time a new sms arrives,the screen goes on.I will like to keep the screen off because if you carry your magician in your pocket and after that sms arrives,you can accidentaly press any button or even touch the screen.
I been checking every thing i could check but i can´t find the answer about this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Third party software Pocket Zen Phone or phoneAlarm.
Ok i´ll check it and see what i can do.
Cheers mate.

There are many occasions the Magician turns on its screen. Rather than trying to find and disable all these, I copied TPDisable.exe and TPEnable.exe from the original Extended ROM into my Program Files folder, and then assigned them to a hardware key (using Hotbutton, so that I can use the same key for both).
As the name implies, TPDisable disables the touchscreen (not the display!), and TPEnable re-enables it. So, before I put my Magician into my pocket, I now disable the touchscreen (one press of a button). That still leaves the keys active, true, but I found that normally the touchscreen is much more likely to be the culprit when strange things happen on your Magician while it's in the pocket, and turned itself on.

@ tadzio
Well,that is a very interesting solution,but i can´t find TPDisable.exe
or TPEnable.exe inside my magician.I need a bit more info from you
Daniel.
Thanks a lot for your replies.
What happens if you hold down power button for 2 seconds to switch off backlight? Does the light still illuminate on receipt of sms?
@ cruisin-thru
I can´t see the point of your question,mainly because the thing i am looking for is to "switch off" my Qtek like a normal mobile phone,i mince buttons locks and screen off when a new sms or incoming call arrives and when you push power button for example,then screen go on and also release the lock of the buttons.
Any one can say that then i can use deltalock.I did it but the battery live is going down very quick.
Screenlock is not working properly also,i will say that Deltalock is 95% a lot better than Screenlock.
And finally,why microsoft is developing this OS without fully screen off selectable option???. Who knows!!!
Cheers

Both programs are in the Extended ROM. Most users have made this visible (though not writable) by performing a Hard Reset, and immediately after completing the initial screen adjustment and mini-tutorial and before the device starts installing programs, a Soft Reset.
If you do not want to do a Hard Reset, search this site's FTP server for Magician Extended ROM downloads. There were a few there last time I looked.
Cheers
Daniel
Well,after config hotbutton to TPDisable and TPEnable i can´t enable the screen and hardware buttons.
TPDisable is disablind the screen but also all the hardware buttons ( with and without button lock at settins),even the power button.
I use same hardware button for TPDisable and TPEnable ,is that correct or i am doing silly things?
If I arrive an sms the screen is switching on and after a few seconds switching off again if I don't press any key or tap the screen!
It's a changeable registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / CurrentControlSet / Control / Power /
WakeupPowerOff =12 (the default is 180)
DisableGwesPowerOff=0 (the default is 1)
If you switch on the Jam (power button) need to press some other key too, because it switches off after 12 seconds!!!
by Avers
@avers
Well that is another solution but i insist that there should be an easiest way to keep the screen fully off when a new sms or what ever arrives,including hardware buttons off ofcourse.
Any suggestion more?, perhaps at the end and betwen all of us ,we can find the solution.
Cheers.
I think the best solution is third party software like PHONEALARM,
it's easiest way to get main tweaks of Pocket Windows.
get it there
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
Well my friends,pocketzenphone is not doing what i am looking for.
Next step is to try phonealarm,but probably will work the same way as pocketzenphone,leting the screen to go on every time a new sms arrives.
Sorry for my languaje but F... microsoft and F... devil gates.
As you can read on this post ,phonealarm IS NOT doing it.
http://www.pocketmax.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=429
phonealarm has option named "Don't activate backlight on alarm"
ALARM there means any event, that needs notification.
now i am understanding, that it is some differ that you need.
also i advice you make some registry tweaks to make a very short backlite time when sms arrives.:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\WakeupPowerOff = 10
this timeout in seconds. is used when our device self power on, when SMS arrives or we push the POWER button and do nothing anymore
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\DisableGwesPowerOff = 0
this key is enables this power control system (necessarily change it, or first key will not work)
after the editing registry you need to reboot PDA.
sorry for poor english, i translate text from russian.
if you want to use online translator i can give you original URL

Thank you for your reply i will try like you and others point out and also will keep looking for that utopic soft.
deltaLock locks the screen and buttons even if you get sms or calls. I use it on my JAM and it works so far.

If you read one of my post ,you will see that i allready said that Deltalock is working but it is KILLING the battery live very fast and when i say VERY FAST it mince that you will get almost 6hours against the normal live (more than 15hours).
Cheers mate.
I think if you keep your ppc on all the time you will get this battery life. Anyway I think deltaLock is for keeping your PPC on and having screen and button lock, not having it in suspend mode and not allowing the screen to power up. Sorry about that, seem to have misunderstood your post.
Don´t worry mate, at the end we are all together trying to find a solution to this microsoft silly programing, any comment and any new idea is wellcome.
Cheers.

BTW, In Iphone screen - the Today button ( left button) does not work.
I think MagicButton has what your'e looking for
Hi
I am also interested in a solution but I don't understand how magicbutton can help.
What is the name of the application/dll/... that comprises the today screen ? Does anybody know?
TIA!

Bugs in WM6 Roms- share your experience-come in everybody

cheers there,,
it was only until yesterday that i had the courage to flash my BA to windows mobile 6...
To be honest ... you guys did a great job..
however, bugs have made their way into this one as well, so i will i will be asking you guys to post all your bugs in the following format:
ROM version:
bugs in :
PHONE:
WIFI:
PROGRAMS:
etc...
rom version: 5.2.1629
radio rom : 1.12
proplems:
phone:none
wifi: i can't use the wireless manager to turn on the wifi
prgrams:
1) x-button is not working , all programs are minimizing instead of closing, despite of the x-button being correctly configured
2) i cant get to type arabic letter with the keyboard, though allthe other arabic functions are working,
performance: the device is a bit sluggish
THINGS THAT ARE ANNOTING BUT DONOT REPRESENT A BUG:
1) button lock is not there,,, it is really annoying to find out that your BA is making a random phone call while in your pocket !!
2) I really liked the broadcom bluetooth stack , can i get it working here?
3) sim contacts appear in the phone book and there is no option to disable this , it would be really nice if i could get rid of the duplicates
and again:
thank you guys big time, especially HELMI for the super work,,
waiting for everybody to share their bugs
you can use comm manager, you just have to turn it on tru wlan settings esp after every SR, but after that you can activate it using comm manager. just like wm5...
one thing i noticed is the lack of keyboard sttttuttttteeeerrrriinnnnggg... which is great news since i always use the keyboard via one-handed operation.
x button is working on my unit, which is easily noticed since i have wisbar.
one bug i noticed though is that whenever ur connected to the pc and its syncing with the BA, it will totally freeze the BA for the duration that the pc and BA are syncing, sometimes causing the BA to hang.

It would be nice to switch on Wireless withou having to click on several items though - especially when using spb backup and auto restart after backup and profiles in phonealarm.
- WLAN activation problem
- keyboard problem (repeating characters after releasing keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...)
- phone doesn't work sometimes ("R" and "G" are "NONE") after softreset --> another softreset *immediately* after "R NONE" and "G NONE" appear.
- no ActiveSync --> activate "USB to PC" in Settings, Connections.

With Broadcomm bt 1.7 by Helmi , what are the pros and cons, and does it sort out the wifi activation problem. I have read that there are some new problems with BT using this stack, can you confirm this?
well, sometimes the device stops working, doesn't respond to the power key, or softreset (display al black)it is needed to remove the battery.

well, its just a few clicks ( 3 actually) more, a very minor extra minute not a big thing trivial speck compared to having a wm6-enabled BA
no problem
I see no problem in WM6 by Helmi. This is great! Thanks a lot. This is perfect.
- phone doesn't work sometimes ("R" and "G" are "NONE") after softreset --> another softreset *immediately* after "R NONE" and "G NONE" appear.
the ROM is actually super great, it is just that we want to make it greater
also, it would be actually very nice if there was some sort of a power-saving fix-
i use a 2400MAH battery but it is hardly doing 2 days in wm6, while it used to survive for 5 days on wm2003

after soft reset or after removing the battery? this always happen to me since wm5 whenever i remove the battery... after seeing R and G values as zero, just SR again.

Hide SIM contacts

This will hide sim contacts from showing in contacts list.

Add contacts
Love the wm6 rom! Works great but ive noticed that i can not add a contact. I can add a contact to my sim but not to my BA. And my BA wont allow me to take the contact from my sim or my call history and add it to my device. Weird. But just thought id add that to the list. I LOVE WM6!

[APP] WM6.5 SmartLock / WM6.1 csdevctrl low memory wm device lock

Try it just get this from others forum and it's free....
Auto Lock v6.06 (CSDEVCTRL)
The locking can be activated at the following events:
1. After a specified period of idle time (no screen tapping or touching the keyboard).
2. After the device has waken up.
3. During a call ("In-Call Locking" Partial or Full).
4. Gesture Left or Right to unlock
WM6.5 SmartLock
1 WM 6.5 use new lockscreen . gray when in wm6.1 or older
2 lockscreen when startup
3 lockscreen when standy
it works well after reboot.
Auto Lock v6.06 (CSDEVCTRL) looks very nice... many options in setup as
executing application after unlock (with command line parameters), locking keyboard, unlocking while slide-out (for raphael i guess), setting right sip, flashing, vibra, etc. ... rly Nice...
but for me LockMeLite is better... (with build in - slide 2 answer option while ringing) cheers
thanks for upload... !
lucasjohny You're the best! Thx. for find this apps.
Hi,
please can you tell me what im ment to do with this?
do i need to install the cabs from the 2 links or just the autolock cab?
Thanks in advance
MG
I'd follow the links to the main thread as both of these apps are on XDA and both have been updated significantly since the OP started the thread.
There are also much more in depth descriptions.
The attached cab files are also outdated. Don't use either of them if you want the latest/greatest.
very nice app!!! I have wanted this for a long time
http://thewingster.com/smartlock.aspx
Thank you very much
I'm wondering whether I can disable the tiny and short sound when I receive a call during the device is locked and turned to silent or vibrate mode? I don't want to disable all sounds of this app, but just this because when the device is turned to silent, it shouldn't make any sounds, should it?
The lock sound is off when I turn the device to silent mode.

Well,probably it is possible to add a battery icon,but I have to contact developer of this program. I think that the upgraded version of this program is currently in stage of development,so we will see.
We just need some more patience. And there will always be some tweak that we will need.
this is one of my favorite apps- easiest in call recording option ive ever found! thank u sooo much-
