[new release] VJBrisk - very specific file launcher

Guys, don't get excited, this is just a teeny tiny app for a special request:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50460&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
I'm basically not releasing anything for a while whilst I work on my new website, which is taking ages
However, this app is just used to launch an app in the same folder, with the filename
VJTarget.exe
or a shortcut called VJTarget.lnk.
This is very specific in use. You don't need it, I'm sure.
But if you have an app that can launch an .exe, but won't launch a shortcut with a command line, then this might be for you (I know some button redefiners and Today launchers might get use out of this)
So, basically, if you want to run VJDialer with a command line in TomTom:
1. Create a shortcut to VJDialer and set it up as you normally would.
2. Check the shortcut to ensure it works.
3. Copy it to your target folder.
4. Copy VJBrisk.exe to the same target folder.
5. Rename the shortcut you made in Step 1 to VJTarget.lnk.
6. Running VJBrisk will now launch VJTarget with its command line etc.
So, setup TomTom to run VJBrisk, and VJBrisk will then launch a file called VJTarget.exe or VJTarget.lnk in the same folder.
Like I said, very specific, but a good experiment for me with some nice string classes
On my (old) website.

Thanx!
I will rewrite my question here, because it's + appropriated:
i will try NOW your app.... only a question:
VJbrisk.exe launch only one vjtarget.lnk or just rename it (exe) with the same name of the link to have more than 1 phone link?
(es Vjbrisk1.exe call Vjbrisk1.lnk, Vjbrisk2.exe call VJbrisk2.lnk etc ?
sorry 4 my english
:::EDIT:::::
i HAVE AN IDEA!
If a Vjbrisk.exe read from a text file vjtarget.txt :
links = 2
link1: vjdial.exe 123456789;
link2: vjdial.exe 987654321;
then by renaming as Vjbrisk1.exe or vjbrisk2.exe the program execute the link into the txt?
the counter is for vjbrisc[X].exe, from x=1 to x=[links].....
or the exe filename can be compared with a string written into the txt:
"VBrisk1.exe" = vjdial.exe 123456789
"VBrisk2.exe" = vjdial.exe 123456789
I don't know is it's possible.... however good work for all others apps that you've made !

VJBrisk will launch VJTarget.exe or VJTarget.lnk.
I could make it so that renaming VJBrisk Eg VJBrisk2.exe will launch VJTarget2.exe.
But for your TomTom setup, I suggest you just use a different folder and a different copy of VJBrisk for each app you need to run.
The text file option is possible, but may be more complicated then just renaming the .exe as I describe above.

ok thnx 1000

accidental presses solved
thanks again to kokotas and vijay555.
kokotas for his ROM that allows me to replace \windows\biotouch.exe without difficulty
vijay555 for his VJBrisk that allows a "new biotouch.exe" to launch a shortcut to s2u2.exe
this means slide2unlock2 will remain locked, even if there are accidental presses/brushes(due to hardware design) while my elf is in my pocket.

Hi, Vijay.
Is there any chance that you could modify this app so that it would pass the command-line parameter it was launched with on to the shortcut?
Here's what i'm trying to acchieve:
I'm using a QR Code reader called quickmark that can read a URL from the barcode, and open it in a web browser. It can ce switched to use Opera instead of IE, but it attempts to launch the executable called OperaLaunch.exe from /Windows, while my Opera9 beta exec is on the storage card, and it's called Opera9.exe
I tried to create a shortcut to it, rename it to VJTarget.lnk, and place it in /Windows along with VJBrisk renamed to "OperaLaunch.exe". When i tried to access a web page from quickmark, opera was launched, but it opened its home page, as if it didn't receive the command line parameter. Manualy running the link with URL as command line parameter worked fine, so it seems that VJBrisk doesn't pass the parameter...

[new version!] Command line support
mr_deimos - that's a really good idea. I don't know why I had never supported it before.
Can you please try this new version.
It's been years since I've made a cab, so for now, just a new .exe.
Let me know if it works ok for you.

Whoa, i didn't notice this version before. Thanks for making the update and sorry for the late reply.
However unfortunately it still doesn't seem to pass the command line parameters. Right now i don't have the opera9 anymore, but i tested it with netfront:
I have the vjbrisk.exe renamed to OperaLaunch.exe and vjtarget.lnk (pointing to my NetFront executable on storage card) in my /windows dir.
If i run:
Code:
\windows\vjtarget.lnk http://www.xda-developers.com
Netfront opens up, and loads the xda-dev website.
But ruunning:
Code:
\windows\operalaunch.lnk http://www.xda-developers.com
NetFronf fires up, but loads its homepage instead of this website Of course the same happens with QuickMark - it just launches NF, without loading the proper page.

it works fine, but can you make an option so that it is possible to use it multiple times in one directory =?
ex:
manila2d use on homescreen hardcoded:
-> clock.exe for timer+
-> calendar.exe for outlook calendar.
# # # #
now i want to use:
-> clock.exe for spb time
-> calendar.exe for thumbcal
so i overwrite calendar.exe + clock.exe with your tool(copy vjbrick.exe to calendar.exe + clock.exe) + make the link to vjtarget....
so how can handle your tool this for different targets ?
my idea would be that there is
1.) vjbrick.exe looks to its own exe-name and searching for a file with extension: ".vjb" . there the call is inside to the correct exefile + paramter
so for example:
1.) copy vjbrick.exe to calendar.exe + copy to windows(overwrite the orig file)
2.) generate a file calendar.vjb + inside there is: "programm files\thumbcal\thumbal.exe -day" + copy the file to \windows
manila2d->
THEREFORE: a lot of guys which are searching therefore a solution !!!!!!!!!!!

Voice dialing with 2.24 ROMs

Hello everybody,
please, do you know how to add new voice tag for a program with any 2.24 ROM (Mr. Clean, Orange...)? When I used Voice Dialer for a first time, it told me that there is no voice tag and I had possibility to add voice tags for Contacts or Programs. Now when I would like to add new voice tag for program, I have no possibility. I can add new command for contact by entering Contacts and choosing "Add voice Tag..." from context menu. But what about programs? In the older ROMs there was shorcut for "learning mode" of Voice Dialer under Start->Settings->Personal, but neither in Mr. Clean nor in Orange 2.24 is such a shorcut anymore. Any ideas? Could anybody with older ROM try to find out something about this shorcut for learning mode of Voice Dialer? Thank you.

I will reply by myself :lol:
I have communicated with the people from Cyberon. Their hint was:
Dear Sir,
1. Please rename VoiceTagCPL.cp_ to VoiceTagCPL.cpl
2. Please copy VoiceTagCPL.cpl to the PDA directory "\Windows".
3. Reset the device.
The Voice Speed Dial settings program icon will show in the
Settings->Personal. We release this file to every manufacture. We are
wondering if they forget to put it in \Windows.
Best Regards,
Cyberon
Unfortunatelly, from their message I could not recognize where to locate VoiceTagCPL.cp_. But I found VoiceTagCPL_0409.ini in my Windows directory. I opened that file and there was path to the file CVDSetting.exe in the Windows directory. I have opened this file and voala, that's it! So I have created shorcut of this file and now I ma sattisfied :wink:

Voicetag.cpl
Just in case you want the file.....
cpl file is in the zip file...

Great, this is even better then a shortcut in my Programs folder.

Help need registry entries for Voice Command

Hi All
Unfortunately when trying to upgrade MS voice command - I've accidentaly deleted the entire registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand to use it for bluetooth voice dialing. Can someone post a full reg entry of it or attached a file so I can insert it into my reg file. BTW, the MS voice command is in the default dir \programs files\.... Many thanks in Advance

HTC Tytn Voice recorder button cannot be activated

Hi,
Yesterday I installed Vito Audio Notes, but also removed it after some testing. But now I cannot get my hardware button for voice recording get back to work. In my windows\Appbuttons folder there is the record.lnk file but in the settings and then the buttons options, from the pull down menu this cannot be selected.
I already restored the link with Sprite Backup, but this was not the solution, I guess it must be somewhere else.
So I want to have button 5 (hold) again be dedicated to record voice notes by holding down the button, and stop recording when I release the button.
Anybody an idea how I can easily fix this?
Thanks,
Roel

Copy that file to Windows\start menu\programs. This made it available as a selection for the button settings. I used the radio button and it worked. Just lick, not sure why it works that way.

Superb!!! This does the trick, thanks very much bigmunny!

Mapping Voice Recorder Button (Tried but still does not work)
Please Help. I looked in the location mentioned and copied the "voice.ink" file and placed in the "Windows"-"Start Menu"-"Programs" folder and even soft reset the system but still the "Voice" selection does not appear when trying to map the button. Not sure what to do. Also is there a way to map the other 2 soft buttons? Please help. Thank you in advance.

OK, this is strange. I noticed the voice.ink file is an invalid shortcut and does not work. Also, I found the record.ink (but no .exe file anywhere on the device), but copying it to the windows/programs directory and assigning it to a button doesn't work. I have the newest official ATT/Cingular ROM.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

I hate quoting myself, but I did some more digging.
It looks like the record.ink points to a file called hotvoice.exe. Unfortunately, the shortcut doesn't work because trying to execute the hotvoice.exe file doesn't do anything.
Was something done to the new ROM that removes the abilty to voice record directly from a button?

It worked for me
Double check you actually copied the file. I used the total commander copy function and it didn't work. I had to copy the file to the clipboard and then past it into the start menu folder. It works fine now.

voicecmd missing

hi there folks
jave a problem on my hermes... when i press the button for voicecmd i get an error saying voicecmd.exe missing... since i would like to have voice dial for my phonebook contacts, can sum1 please say me how to put that on my ppc?
using faria32 rom for wm6

Copy the cab file for ms voice command from this thread (link at bottom) onto your sd card and then use a file explorer cab to install it. You will have to change the button configuration in settings>personal>buttons.
