How to change the "Active Window" Name - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Does anyone know how to do this? I have an app idea that im trying to make work that I posted about a few days ago and no one seemed to respond. Im tackling the problem with mortscript and am almost there. I just need to figure out how how to change the spbmobileshell's active window name since it is blank and doesnt have one. It makes my script work for every program....
Is it possible to change this?
If not... Does anyone know how to make a script run that will execute only when mobile shell is active in portrait. waiting for a key board slide and will launch secondtoday... and minimize second today anytime if it is closed to portrait from a landscape position. this may seem a bit tedious, but the idea here is to make a simple script that will allow keyboard slides to open and close apps quick and easily without taking up too many resources
thanks for the help....

SKSchema Script Problem

I'm trying to create a program that runs tray_launch, then switches to the today screen. (I'd prefer to minimize tray_launch but I can't find anything in the help file about minimizing at all.)
So I write the program
#r(\My Documents\Programs\phm_traylnch_182.exe)
#gototoday
#pwr
That runs tray_launch (it is the right directory for me) but fails to switch to today, although the title bar of the today screen appears, which is even more annoying because the X on tray_launch is not visible.
I've tried a lot of variations, including creating the program inside skschema with the script editor. Here is one variation that came from doing that and saving it:
#r(\My Documents\Programs\phm_traylnch_182.exe)
#r(#gototoday)
#r(#pwr)
but that doesn't work and isn't even consistent with the syntax, yet was created by skschema using the menu selections.
So first question, what am I doing wrong?
Second, anyone know the location of the upper right hand corner so I can do a press-and-tap of the X, which is sent to minimize?
Third, is there a primer with working examples somewhere?
Thanks,
Maybe switch to today more fastest than tray_launch loading?
script not wait for full load started program
try
#r(\My Documents\Programs\phm_traylnch_182.exe)
#r(#gototoday) #sleep(2000)
#r(#pwr)
Thanks
Your suggestion got me to play with it further and it turns out the problem is tray_launch, not SKSchema. When I put another program there, it works fine.
Phooey.
So now what I need to know is how to tap the upper right button with skschema. Anyone programmed this?

Help! Slow input type selection window!

When you need to input text, you can click on the icon at the bottom of the screen to bring up the text entry area. You can tap on the little triangle beside the icon to bring up a window to select between block recognizer, keyboard, letter recognizer, phone pad, and transcriber.
On my 8125, it is taking a long time for this window to pop up after tapping the triangle. It is taking a few seconds, when it used to take maybe 1/3 of a second. It is quite frustrating!
Why is is doing this? And what can I do to speed it up like it used to be?
This has happened before. It was when I first got the phone and was installing apps and games on it. One day I noticed this slow behavior, and I ended up doing a hard reset and slowly adding my apps and registry tweaks back on one at a time to see what would cause the problem. Well, nothing caused the problem and it stayed fast for a long time.
Then yesterday I updated to Summiter's latest ROM and started adding my apps back on. This text entry type window was working just fine through most of it, and suddenly as I'm finally finished putting everything back to where I want it, this problem is back!
Help! I don't want to do another hard reset already!
I have the same problem, I use transcriber as SIP but since it takes so long to show up when you click the triangle, I just put a shortcut to transcriber.exe in the start menu folder. So, I just use the Programs menu, it's much faster
I like to switch between letter recognizer, keyboard, and transcriber. I suppose I could put links to them in the start menu, but it would be so much nicer if I could just figure out why it's being so slow!
Any ideas?
I've read this is due to having MS Voice Command installed, although I haven't confirmed this myself.
I have the problem and never installed Voice Command, so there must be another explanation
anyone idea what the keyboard exe is called?
thanks
This is supposedly caused by a bug in the OS. I use an application called 'Smartskey'. There is a setting that talks about reboot notification for a Wizard. This affects the time it takes for the input method choice popup-. See the text about it from the manual:
REMOVEDUPSDDAEMON=0 (0 or 1)
Only for HTC Wizard. The function is originally not related to SmartSkey. The HTC Wizard contains a program called sddaemon that is the voice command program for wizard. It contains a bug that it will automatically create one more
notification for each reboot. It will make the program slower and slower after a number of reboot and overflow the notification system. To set this to 1 will automatically remove the duplicated notification event. If you are a user of Wizard, it is suggested to set it to 1. The flag is harmless for other machines.
I cannot remember where I downloaded the program, but if you search this forum, you should be able to find a copy.
i dont use smartskey, so is it something else causing my slowdown? i dont understand.
is that a reg key your talking about there?

Smartskey isn't the problem. It solves a problem with the OS. zIt appears that every time the device restarts, it makes a record in a log file somewhere. Eventually, the log is so full, it takes longer and longer to pull up the menu. I don't recall all of the details, but I found it here. You can probably search to find more information.
The setting I put in the post is a smartskey.ini setting to resolve the problem.
thanks, might give it a try then

disallow screen rotation

Hello!
I need to write software that disallows any screen rotation on my Wizard.
How can I do it? I didn’t found any registry settings for this. The best way
that I see is hooking ChangeDisplaySettingsEx. But unfortunately, SetWindowsHookEx
doesn’t works on WM 5.0, at least it said on some topics. Please, give me any solution for this problem or example code to hook some API function.
wm5: [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
Angle=dword:0
00000000 portrait
0000005a righthanded landscape
0000010e lefthanded landscape
then RegistryNotifyCallback will do
tanks a lot
I will try this way.
But I afraid it will be notified after screen rotation starting.
Adjusting this registry value in regedit tool did't help.
So I suppose this value is changing after rotation is done.
You can delete the start up service of ScreanRotate.
Go to HKLM/Services/ScreanRotate and delete it.
I think before you doing this,you can export it to a reg file
It's not bad idea.
but delete this key leading to system restart for apply
I just try to stop this service.
Not luck : (
This key not present in the registry storage.
I am under WM 5.0
Maybe you talk about some early system.
Hi hoblano, I'm experiencing the same problem, did you find a solution ?
thanks,
Scalposcarno
use task manager 2.7 and stop service...if you know it is service...
same way to stop kbd lights...btw,
I tried, but the result is the same as the one obtained by manually deleting the Screen Rotate voice within the services voices in the registry: avoiding the load of the service providing the icon on the task bar enabling the user to rotate the sceen one or more times by tapping on it.
I still don't understand ... at this point the most probable thing is that the service that rotate the OS screen when rotating by hand the HW screen, is invisible with respect to registry voices and to applications like Task Manager 2.7 or MemMaid. Apart from criticizing the constructor choice (why didn't they thought that someone should have been more comfortable using only one view mode ? e.g. landscape one), is there a way to obtain a list of core services and to avoid one of those to be loaded ? or, otherway, is there a way to intercept the event thrown when manually rotating the screen of the terminal ?
By the way, I'll have to do it with Java ...
thanks all

Enable Cube with Softkey

I recently posted this on Mahmood's "tweaks and tricks" thread (after searching the Polaris forums unsuccessfully for an answer) but didn't receive any response. Does anyone know how to make this happen?
I recently saw a screenshot (somewhere around here) with "Cube" shown as the left Softkey (instead of the default "Calendar"). Does anyone know how I can program that Softkey to enable the cube? (It would be much easier than using the dreaded finger swipe).
I'm guessing it will mean a tweak to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 (and probably HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings) but I'm not smart (or brave) enough to experiment.
Thanks.
Still looking for some help - Is this in the "too hard to do" pile or am I posting in the wrong forum?
I'd also be interested to know...
Or better yet, if it's possible to activate the cube by swiping top-down instead of the regular down-up (I'm using ContactPM and it's almost impossible to close the app without activating the cube!).
Thanks,
you can try advanced config app to change the soft keys...and all you need to know is what path enables the cube...im not at myh computer so you would have to search for advanced config....or i will post it when is get a chance...but it looks like the run app for the cube is
/windows/saplaywm.exe
and the command line parameters are
"/program files/sclpf/version 1-00.swf
hpe this helps...
RiNo808 -
First, thanks for trying to help.
Unfortunately I can't find saplaywm.exe (or anything close) on my TC (in \windows or anywhere else) and just typing it in as a new string value for Key 112 without really knowing where to point to it gets me an error message ("cannot be opened... not signed... components cannot be found...".
Should I be downloading it from somewhere?
OBTW, does the "808" in your name stand for your area code?

Screen rotation for SQ 320x320

I did a great many searches and have tried every screen rotate program I could find but none of them work on my Saga. Even enabling the orientation settings in the registry via Adv Config did nothing. So am I right in assuming this feature is disabled on square screens? I ask because a some software change the orientation to landscape which is just annoying on a qwertybar phone. Is there any solution to this? Maybe a small launching app that traps a programs call to flip the screen, or would that throw of stylus coordinates? If I knew what to look for I wouldn't even mind Hex editing the few particular apps that do this (not many work on my phone period) and just nop-ing the call in the exe. My experience with winmo coding is virtually non-existant though so I'm not sure what to look for. Guess I can hook it to a debugger in the emulator and just start poking around but I'd prefer a simpler solution if anyone knows one.
