Quick 'n Easy installable shortcuts (Bluetooth, Facebook, Google Reader) - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hey Guys,
This didn't take much programming, but it's something I did that saves me a bit of headache when I flash a new ROM image on my phone.
I have started a series of installable shortcuts. These come in .cab format, and install a shortcut into the start menu (with nice icons, too). Then you can easily add it to HTC Home Screen, assign it to a hardware key, etc.
So far these are the shortcuts I have made.
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Battery
Bluetooth Control Panel
Facebook
Google Reader
WiFi
I will happily add more IF YOU PROVIDE A GOOD ICON (or set of .png files, .psd, or .xcf). The required resolutions are: 16x16, 22x22, 32x32, 44x44, and 48x48.
I'll keep an updated list (and examples of all the icons) on my website:
http://www.supware.net/Shortcuts/
I hope you find this useful too!

this is actually i really really good idea.
thanks

In combination with the "List Of .Lnks" thread, this could be even more useful! Thanks for these!
One thought... Any chance of a facebook mobile link? (http://m.facebook.com) Same icon as the Facebook one would suffice!

facebook.com automatically redirects to m.facebook.com on my phone... I'm pretty sure they detect your browser and redirect appropriately.

Two new shortcuts added!
I just added two more shortcuts: Battery, linking to your battery state; and WiFi, linking to your WiFi connections control panel.
L3V5Y, thanks for the "List of .Lnks" thread, it's a great reference!

It doesn't when Opera Mobile is your default browser...
I can edit it myself easily enough though!

Can you make a cab of the bluetooth and wifi to turn it on/off quickly?
Or does this do it?!

I don't think that's possible... Using one of Vijay555s apps it would be possible, but there is no way within the OS to do that as a shortcut.

Thx =)

Opera mini
Hey,
Just a quick question. I've installed both, and really like the icons. They look sharp and clean.
I currently have Opera Mini as my default internet browser. When I click the link, it tells me that these are not signed, and crashes out.
Other than uninstalling Opera Mini as my default, any suggestions?

I don't think uninstalling Opera Mini would fix that problem anyway. It sounds like you need to update your phone to allow you to execute unsigned applications. Search this xda-developers for "application unlock", as the process is different for different phones.

I just installed Opera Mobile 9.5, and sure enough, now I get that error message too. It must be a problem with Opera... too bad
Here's how I start the url, using the default browser:
Code:
SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo = {0};
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = TEXT("open");
ShExecInfo.lpFile = TEXT("http://reader.google.com/");
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_SHOW;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
As you can see, there is no reference to any application, it should just "open" the url using the currently registered program. Installing Opera Mobile screwed up that mechanism.

Okay... Can you not get the default browser from the registry and open the link by passing it as a parameter to the default browser?

This is really productive, it will be amazing if u can make a tool which auto generates these exe's for any website!!!
Thanks

[Come on!] Develope a photodial today plugin! Please!

Hi there.
I ahve tried many different soulutions to get a todayplugin working on UL or else that can:
- use photos from Outlook contacts
- speeddial with single tap
- choose sms, call, email
- easy apllying contacts
I only found:
- makecall.exe = difficult to customize and need of own made icons
- vjphone = also difficult to customize
- dialtab.cab = floating arround - seems to be part of SPB Mobile shell - very easy! great! BUT not freeware. shows "trial expired"
So how difficult can it be for some of you guys out here to create a plugin that works 100% ???
Hope someone will join this project. I WILL try everything. But i´m not a programmer!
THANKS for helping!

i don´t have it installed. it is cooked in... and not the complete one. BUT only a selfmade cab for ONLY the photodialpart on today.
New App Should Be Made
While I like and use the Face Contacts photo dial, I think thats the name, I too think a new app should be created. When the Diamond came out, it opened up a whole new level to today plugs for us WM users. The functionality of the photo dialer plug on that device is leaps ahead of other software. Its functional, and by god its beautiful.
I cant wait to see these plugs start getting ported over for our devices. Until then , I hope one of you geni's on here make something to hold us over. Actually, knowing how most of you all operate, you'll make something that puts the Diamonds Contact Plug to shame!!!
this is what you need!

just found out the one i linked to was originally by TofClock, known as TofClock Today Plugin, i think he passed on reading some posts so RIP, peace.
The "testtoday" would be the best one, but you may know that there were complaints from Palm about this being posted!! At least that's if my memory serves me correct.

I was also searching for this kind of software for a long time. I would say, I tried everythig.
Till now the best solution was htc home and the cube, they act just how i would suppose and like it.
I would like to add something to this request: make it flexible, so you can specify something like x rows and y columns on your screen, I don't like those one-line plugins.
For the meanwhile I would really really love to see a tool to convert contact-pictures to icos.
Hey,
I second this request!
Will pay a good donation for a good quality plug-in.
Requirements:
1. Adjustable contact grid eg. 3x3, 4x4, 5x5
2. Photos pulled from outlook database.
3. Skinable.
4. Low memory footprint.
Pleeeeeeze!
Or This?
I saw this one posted earlier today.

So here's what i'm thinking about... The omnia home screen called : "Omnia Widget" was quite "rigid" because we can't add things or customize it, but it was very interesting because it was using flash, and it allows lot of things such as animation or easy coding... So why don't we use it to customize ?
When i found those 2 files "GrandP.swf" and "GrandL.swf" in omnia's rom immediately i decided to decompile them... I found a lot of informations... and i tried to make my own swf. And it works !
But here's the problem :
first, there are some missing/unoperating functions (loadVars, loadMovie, FSCommand:launch, getTime etc...)
second, i couldn't decompile everything... and samsung uses fonctions to load informations for windows mobile ( exa: what song is played, is there any missing cal, new mail, etc...)
Right now, the only functions i can use are : launching different programs (calendar, main menu, opera, etc)
So if you are interesting in, i need help to decompile, and uses those missing functions !

Hey Great Work!
Looks like u're getting somewhere man with a new widget for OMNIA!
Too bad i can't help out much with these programming stuff...
Please keep up the good work and keep us updated on ur work!
Cheers!
Looks great! Let's see what else can be done...
nice work
and looks nice
Looks AWESOME, how did you customize your screen SO MUCH using the omnia widgets? And how did you get multiple today screens? This has SO MUCH potential.
Just get a method to add/change widgets and you have one of the best customizing software in the making! Please continue and pursue devolopments, waiting for my omnia...
(Btw, change the background for the XPERIA homescreen)
Akshay
Also, it would be great if you could integrate twolf's widgets into that. He has created some amazing flash widgets, I swear I would help, but I know absolutely nothing about this. So, twolf and other experts! Lets make this happen and help...
(As far as I know, omnia widgets can now also be installed on other ppc's as well, so its usefull not only for omnia, but as a universal app)
Akshay
Flash Widgets
I too have decompiled the GrandP.swf and i am working on adding widgets to it.
I have already changed some aspects of the file one of which was just changing the size of the analoge clock to half its original size to not too intrusive.
I have been looking through the actionscript to see how it interacts with windows mobile and if it uses any libaries.
One idea i am toying with is a directory with widget swf's in from which the GrandP will load them from .. instead of being contained within the flash file itself.
I will post my finding as well .. I find them
Matt
Very nice work and looks nice
Thanks
Great!I'm studying how I can launch a program in Omnia Widget...
I've tried lots of times like this:

}
but it doesn't work...why?
&I think we might find more information of the flash function in WidgetIdle.dll...

Hmmmm, Throttle Launcher and FEWidgets already do that.
But I was convinced that so did the app on this thread. :/
I think any version of flash will do, but 7 has less memory bugs and is wm200-compatible...

Remove "www.htc.com" from launch browser

hello
Ive been looking for a way to not have the browser go to htc.com when you push launch browser on the internet tab from touchflo. Ive tried removing it from opera as default start page but it still goes to htc.com when i launch it from touchflo.
any ideas?
I had this issue too. Just use a registry editor (e.g. http://freewareppc.com/download/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml ) and search for the string "www.htc.com" or go directly to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila2D/InternetWidget/Customized/
and change the BannerURL and BannerURLText to any Site you want, I use www.google.com/m ..
Yes. This is a 'huge' problem with this browser. Whatever you type in the box every time is loading www.htc.com
I've found a decision with registry, of course
Go to HKLM\\software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\Customized\BannerURL
It's written www.htc.com. Type another site, what you want and restart Jade
PP I'm too slow
Thanks alot guys,
that worked like a charm
When we are talking about Opera, what version do you prefer - 8,65 or 9 beta?
IMO 9beta is more convenient for browsing thanks to the double click for zooming.

Now I'm watching the posts here and hope we can get good cooked rom for jade. If yes, I'm trade in my elfin and get the jade in hand.
reg key doesn't work here..
I've searched the registry for htc.com but no joy here. No manila2d on this unit.
Anyone else found a solution to this nagging problem where only "Manila" exits and no htc.com to change? Searched every other htc.com value/key/data also, but nothing seems to prevent the htc.com page from loading up when launching the opera browser.
solved...
Navigate to \Application Data\Manila and find a file called “InternetPortal-en-US.xml” and edit that to whatever you want your home page to be.

Mine has all the favourites at the "Internet" tab that I added in my browser (Opera). Its listed below the earth logo and YouTube. You have to scroll down (touch flip screen up) to see al the listings. It should be the same as All Bookmarks.

Ok, now I get it. As some bookmarks are in there right from the hard reset, it seems as if they are listed first, and all other bookmarks come up below. So just scroll down and you will see them.
Second way: Lower left, there should be something like "all bookmarks" on the touchscreen. Choose this one and you will get to your bookmarks directly:

I still wonder why some bookmarks are listet alphabetically, some not. Might be if the name of the bookmark contains a dot, like faz.net or so? Anyone an idea?

If you have M2DC, check the Internet Tab. It should have \windows\operaL.exe as default (or whatever browser you prefer)
OR
Check HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\OperaEXEFile
it should have \windows\operaL.exe there.

Hi,
Thanks....the problem was that I had install a Opera Beta version which I don't know why but it didn't add the favorites at the bottom. So I installed a older version of Opera and when I go on a website and add it to my favorites, it appears at the bottom...
Thanks to all of you who replied to my question.

A replacement for HTCs ActionScreen.
Coded in Win32 C++ for speed.
Applications can be configured via the registry.
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\App_X
Path changes the path, Parm changes the parameters, and Text changes the text
Timeout (how long before the application minimizes) can be changed at:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Timeout time is in milliseconds
The size of the text can be configured:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\FontSize
Font colour
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Font Red/Green/Blue (0-255)
The text at the top of the page can be configured
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Text
If
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Exit
is 0, the app will minimize, if it's 1, the app will close after timeout or action.
Changelog:
0.03 now allows the application to close rather than staying resident in memory.
0.02 Adds configurable text, clicking on the top most bar minimizes the application.
0.01 Initial Release
reserved for updates
try this one,thx!
Update to 0.02, see first post for more...
looks cool and works well!
7 items, Why no 14?
Hi l3v5y,
It's a great tool but we already have an action 9. If you split the screen in two parts, you can put 14 items (maybe a new entry in regitry to change from 7 to 14) . Another idea is to create a new tab in manila. In any case this application looks fine and I'll test it. Thanks!!.

Currently, this is just a rewrite of the ActionScreen as it comes. I'll take suggestions on what to do, and having 14 items sounds interesting!
Also, for anyone with a blackstone, if you edit the skin file and add two more App_X keys which match those of the other keys, you can get 9 applications.
Nice! i tryed it but some things are not working.
When i click at the top it doesnt minimise, it gives an error saying that it couldnt open file "".
Also tryed to change the text at the top but it didnt change, new sms and new mms arent working (nothing is opened)
maybe the problem is that my rom language is not wwe?
the rest works good, thanks!
Hi l3v5y, as above, but not tried mms, i don't use it but nothing happens when I press new sms. I have a feeling you will fix it!
What version does it say in the bottom right? (yes, I kow it's ridiculously small, but any larger and it gets in the way) I may have uploaded the wrong cab!
version 0.01

It's there now!
(or at leas, I think it is :S)
yes, now it works!
Just one thing, once you open the program and lauch something it doesnt exit, it stays minimised.
Could you add a reg entry or change it so it closes instead of minimise and wasting ram?
thanks

That seems a good idea.
I didn't do it, because the RAM usage on my Prophet (QVGA) wasn't as bad.

This may seem like a very dumb question, but where exactly do I go to find the "action Screen" on my Diamond? I've had it for about 2 months now and I've never seen an action screen. Is it after market? I ask because i understood this to be a rewrite of a current default setting that comes preinstalled on the diamond... Maybe i'm just have the biggest brain fart ever.

Could be the fact that I wasn't hugely specific. This is a rewrite of something the Touch Dual had, not the Diamond.
When are you going to prepare a 14 buttons version?
Hi l3v5y,
Are you developing a 14 buttons version?. Thnks in advance.

Opera Form Fixer: automatic resizer of textareas in Opera Mobile

Opera Mobile is a fine browser but has one significant drawback: when you type in textareas, they are not resized to fit the screen, which requires manual dragging left and right to type something. Notice how you don't see the "out" part of the word "without" on the screenshot:
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here's an attempt to fix this problem with a User Javascript. The script catches forms' onfocus event, calculates screen width and resizes textareas and inputs accordingly. It's not perfect because there's no event fired when you zoom in on a page and it's not possible to calculate the needed size accurately, but it's worked very well for me so far:
There are two ways you can use this script:
Manually enable User Javascript in opera:config and copy the js file from the attached zip archive to the user javascript directory specified in opera.ini
Install the attached cab, run Opera Form Fixer from Start Menu, it will try to detect Opera installations, enable User Javascript in each of them if it isn't, create user javascript directories if they don't exist and copy the js file there.
Enabling features in opera.ini automatically or manually may require Opera being closed while writing to the files, so you may need to have RealExit set to 1 in the registry and Push Internet disabled - otherwise changes may not stick.
Please note that uninstalling the "program" won't revert the tweaks; in order to do it you'll need to delete the js files from userjs directories or disable User Javascript.
And one final note: this is not an actual program, it's a Mortscript script so you can easily see what it does, modify and/or tweak it to fit your needs better, so feel free to use it any way you want!
Thanks, glad to be first to download it.
Will feedback later on.
BTW, do you know where I can find some more user js resourcs like this?
Thanks.

On userjs.org (currently inactive, unfortunately, and Official Opera Software forum dedicated to User Javascript.
Just tried it on Opera 9.5 and the effect is clear and clean ! Really a great idea ! Thanks a lot !

Thanx for further guidance.
First feed back: It works on OM9.7B1.
Actually when I write this sentence to you, the 'Quoted' words as well as the ones I am typing using Kaiser already been wrapped in a smaller input form than usual.
After first pressed the 'QUOTE' button, quoted parts already wrapped to fit the window size. But later on the typed words fit in the form that is a litle wider than window.
Though no problem since on 9.7B1 cousor can follow the visible area.
This is specially useful for posting on xda-devs.
Will test again on a OM9.5 and report later on.
What I did:
In opera:configure, checked the boxes for 'Always load user java scripts' & 'User Javascripts', in the box for 'User JavaScript File' typed the full path of the file '\Program Files\Opera Mobile\profile\UserJS\vangrieg_resizetextarea.js', which I extracted from your zip file to a new created folder named 'UserJS' under the default OM97 installation folder '\Program Files\Opera Mobile\profile\'.
screen already follows cursor on opera 9.7 without this fix... so this is probably more useful to 9.5 users.

As far as I remember (I don't have 9.7 installed), it follows cursor but doesn't make the textarea narrower. Which is a pain when it's wide because you don't see half the text. It also didn't work on all sites. It was driving me nuts.
Anyway, if you're happy with what you have don't use the tweak.

It's difficult to make this script universal because the zoom rate is different for different versions of Opera, and there's no way of knowing what it is in each case (in addition to the fact that Opera reports incorrect screen width - 240px in the case of Touch HD). So if it's always wider (or narrower), you can correct the lines in the js file that read:
Code:
this.style.width = screen.width + 50 + 'px';
Make it 30 instead of 50, for example.
Code:
this.style.width = screen.width + 50 + 'px';
Make it 30 instead of 50, for example.

There are two lines with this content, I changed both to 20, and it perfectly fits the kaiser qvga screen, still on 9.7.
Another thing is, I tried only put the path of the folder in the 'User Java Script File', without the file name, it also works as you described.

If you define a folder as a "User Javascript File" it will process all files in that folder, that's the standard way of doing it.

Thanks a lot vangrieg!!
I´ll posted this great tool on the official thread in general section

Just tested the same way on my Iolite, which is also qvga, tested on the stock OM9.5
AND IT ALSO WORKS AS EXPECTED.
It doesn't work on my Opera 9.5 Build 16702
EDIT = Now it works when i add the file name behind the UserJavascript File like that : \Windows\Opera9\UserJS\vangrieg_resizetextarea.js because the CAB only writes the file directory.

It should work both ways, but it's not enough to install the program, you need to run it afterwards.
Thanks for highlighting the User Javascript (User Script [Chrome] Greasemonkey [Firefox]) ability in Opera Mobile.
Just to let you know it's possible to use the AdSweep opera script to hide adverts

Generally speaking, many (if not most) features from desktop Opera should work in Opera Mobile because they are based on the same engine, but with different interfaces. The missing part will be UI to add/change features, so some manual ini file tweaking will be required.
Thank you sir!

May I know how to get it works on Omnia II?
This is an excellent idea, will try ASAP. Thanks a lot,

Hmm, I have a suspicion about what's causing this.
Could you upload your opera.ini (and opera1.ini if it exists)? And also, could you please post some details (Opera build, stock Opera vs downloaded somewhere, whether you have modified opera.ini etc.)?
