Hi guys,
I'm fairly new here, but I thought that I should join in on the contributions and give back to the community, because I've already had countless hours of help just by searching through the knowledge (mostly garbage though..) that can be found through the search engine! Anyhow, after through much sifting, I managed to create a nifty little tool to help you turn off your Touch HD via software. What's the purpose of this? It is simply to preserve the lifespan of your power button. For some reason, the powerbutton and volume buttons just don't seem too solid to me (mainly the powerbutton).
Enough wish-wash, let's get down to it!
What you need:
1) HTC Touch HD (It may work on any phone with a 480 x 800 layout, I'm not sure, I only had enough money to buy a single phone)
2) If you don't already have it, get Mortscript and install it onto your phone.
3) Now, download the tiny attachment and extract the "Auto Shutdown.mscr" file within it. Place this anywhere you'd like, on your Desktop for example.
Baby-Step-by-Step instructions:
1) Connect your phone to the computer. Mine is set via USB only, no active Sync. Copy/Cut the "Auto Shutdown.mscr" file to any location on the phone's storage.
2) Disconnect USB, and unplug the cable.
3) Go to File Explorer, and look for your "Auto Shutdown.mscr", wherever you placed it earlier and copy/cut the file.
4) Navigate your way to the phone's storage via File Explorer, and go to Windows > Start Menu > Programs > MortScript >
5) Paste the "Auto Shutdown.mscr" there.
6) Soft-reset.
And, that's it! I asked you to place the .mscr file inside the MortScript folder because this prevents you from accidentally pressing the file when viewing the Programs menu. If you're going to add the .mscr file to the TouchFLO shortcut list, I strongly suggest you put it all the way to the bottom to prevent accidentally presses as well. After all, upon pressing, your phone will shutdown.
Having said that, you can also now use this with Cyberon Voice Commander or Microsoft Voice Commander, so it's really quite awesome in my opinion.
If someone has already posted something like this (I don't remember seeing any when I searched though...), feel free to ignore this entire post of blabber and move along already, I can't believe you had the patience to read till this last word!
Enjoy! I know I am!
Cheers.
EDIT: I've uploaded a new file down below. Download that file instead. This will now work with any phone running WM 6.1 and higher. I am not certain if this will work on WM 6.5 based cores as I am not sure how the Shutdown process works.
I can't imagine that the power button (nor the volume buttons) will take any damage by simply pressing them. I'm doing so for five months now (pressing them often during the day) and haven't noticed any damage.
The only think to consider is the fact, that you have to press the power button on the left side. You don't need to press it hard then.
Anyway I think there are enough exe files, which will shutdown your device, so writing a MortScript isn't neccessary at all.

John,
Thanks for the input. See, I thought my power button was funky when it was only more responsive on the left side, at least now I know that the phone was made that way. To each his own I guess (I am very compulsive when it comes to the care of a new gadget, sometimes a little insane), I just got the phone like 2 days ago, so I'm still just finding my own balance on what is comfortable and preferable for me. I just thought I'd share it with you guys, that's all .
My philosophy when it comes to doing things is to do things with the least amount of resources, in this case, installing the least amount of programs. I see MortScript being very useful for me in the future in doing certain things without having to install more .exe files.
Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your developement.
Using your tool might help to use the power button 10 years or more. I bought my device in Germany. Here we have 2 years of warranty and I don´t plan to use my Blackstone very much longer.

Matt,
I honestly cannot tell if you're trying to be condescending, patronizing or what have you. If you honestly don't want to use the script, simply don't, I'm not begging you to use it. It's really that simple. If you must go out of your way to put other people down for things they've shared, then I simply feel sorry for you.
But okay, thanks for the response.
Cheers.

Thanks for spending the time to share with us your program... I find it usefull as i.m sure many more will....
Thanks for sharing!!!
Guys,
I've actually tweaked it a little bit. I am currently using the attached version. The attached version will work with any phone of any resolution (I think it has to be WM6.1 and above).
Still reading up on the Mortscript language, very nifty, I must say! Enjoy!
Cheers.
I used my last phone (XDA) for five years. The power button went after a couple of years. Ok it really got smashed in as it fell off a two story scaffold on a construction site so I might just bookmark this page for later use.
can we just put the .msr into the programs folder and without installing the mortscript, will it work?

Bigdeal88,
No, you need mortscript because it is the parser. Mortscript is the program that reads and processes/parses the .mscr files. It is essentially a simple script reader.
Why do you ask? Are you not able to use Mortscript?
Cheers.

hi,
this application is just too great to be missed. its just that i am lazy to try mortscript.. would be wonderful if there is a cab file. nonetheless, am dnloading mortscipt now to give this prog a try.
thanks alot!
Hi, i followed the instructions, installed mortscript and copy the file, reset phone. When i click the file "shutdown process.mscr" i get a warning.
Window "Warning" could not be found.
Line 2 (\windows\start menu\programs\mortscript\shutdown process.mscr):waitforactive("warning", 10)
Thanks.
thanks for your effort.

Ruguk,
Are you using WM 6.1? The script assumes that you have the "PowerOffWarning.exe" available in your Windows folder. I would assume that all WM 6.1 would have this file.
@Zolom,
You're welcome.
Cheers.
Hi, my version is just 6. So i guess thats why i don't have PowerOffWarning.exe in windows folder. Maybe its time to upgrade my phone or search more for a full shutdown soft.
Thanks.

Ruguk,
There is no need to mate. Go to your windows folder and browse the contents. I assure you, you will find something along the lines of PoweroffWarning.exe. Just keep looking. When you think you've found the right file, just try pressing on it and see if the warning window pops up. If that's the one, then you've got the right file. All you do then is open the .mscr file with notepad and modify the PowerOffWarning.exe name to the name of whatever it is that you found. It is important that you leave the formatting exactly the same as it was.
Cheers.

Hi all,
I have been surfing around the forum for a couple of days now and am completely overloaded with all the amazing information available here. I have a Wing that I love (with the exception of the slow speed and the low program memory, of course) and I have been reading all about the different downloads that people have created for changing the page pool (a term I just learned) and over-clocking (again a new word) the processor, and to be honest, with my level of experience with this unit, I am scared.
I am hoping that someone could direct me to a program that I could buy (yes I am willing to pay for it) that would quickly, safely and without configuration from me, allow me to change the processor speed and the page pool. Does such a think exist? I really don't know enough to try doing this on my own.
Also, somewhere on one of these forums, I read a post from someone a couple of days ago saying that T-Mobile was going to be issuing a new update for the Wing - does anyone know anything about that. I keep checking on their page http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ but it's not shown up yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jamie
A simple search+reading wiki would have done the job for you, but, nevermind..
1) for changing pagepool, follow this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1456991&postcount=1
2)for easy overclocking(which actually everyone here use, that is, batterystatus)
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm
thank you for the links - I am hesitant to try the page pool from these directions because, as I said, my experience is very limited. I'm looking for simple, easy to install programs that might address these issues.

ok, here is what to do to change the pagepool in 2steps
1)install aserg's policies on your device(copy the cab on the device and execute it from the file explorer)
2)make sure that you are connected to actiesync and run the batch file on the PC then(extract the archive first)
soft reset.

Ummm, plug in ur phone, make sure its connected, and then open the pagepool folder and click the one that has a 6 in the file name.....its really not hard, Im pretty sure my dog could figure it out. Dont be afraid to try things. You'll surprise yourself with how much your capable of.
Where is the pagepool folder? I looked in File Explorer and even searched for it by name.... Could I borrow your dog?

Follow the post he gave you. It will have a file you download. It's a compressed folder. Uncompress it. THAT is the pagepool folder.

The page pool hack is alot easier than your making it seem. Even if you screw it up, the pagepool just isnt gonna work and your gonna have to start over.
1.Install the ITSUTILS_Preperation cab. (either put it on your wing thru activesync or memory card, once its in the phone just click the file for install).
2. Soft reset after the install (stylus push on small hole, right side of wing)
3. Connect the wing to the pc thru activesync.
4. From your PC double click the backup file.
5. From your PC double click the 6mb pool file. (a black dos screen will scroll a few lines of text and disapper, if no lines of text scroll you have not followed every step...hard reset and try again)
Thats step for step, easy as seducing a hooker instructions.
Hopefully you can figure out batterysatus, if not msg me and ill help you out. Anytime things seem to complex its best to read the post numerous times. Things will start to make sense, and after that if your still haveing problems there are lots of really helpful people on this site.
Good Luck
I would do a power cycle instead of a soft reset to make sure your savings got saved.
Power cycle = holding the power down until it asks you to shut down, then shutting down.

Ive never noticed this, but does a soft reset have a tendency to not save settings Ivan?
Thank you one and all for your patience with me. I did it! I changed my page pool to 6 using the program you recommended and it worked just great. I have between 8-11 MB's left after start up. The only thing I am running is Contact Photo Pro. I don't know if it's a system resource hog or not, but I wanted a program that would allow me to customize separate tones for sms messages and caller tunes for my contacts, and also to have profiles where I can silence just the sms messages and allow phone calls during the night. There might be a better program out there but since I'm still such a newbie, I downloaded what I Could find first.
Again, thanks again for your help. I don't think I am going to overclock yet, as that seems scarier but for now my Wing is running better, and I can take a picture without getting a low memory error!

TF3DOnnOff Paket by JeckyllHavok
UPLOADING UPDATED FILES YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE AUTOOFF.MSCR!!!!
Hi there with this collection off scripts you get the possibility to power on/off your device with TF3D enabled, also a little auto Off Function is Included.
Just download the attached zip folder and unpack all files to the root of your device.
Then copy TF3D-DisplayOff-mscr to your programs folder and map it to a button.
Now run the writenotification.mscr, (you need this file just at the first time, do not run it twice)
Now reboot your device with tf3d disabled in today plugins.
After reboot you should notice that TF3D starts.
Now with the button you mapped the tf3dDisplayOff Script to you can put your device to sleep with a keypress.
To power it back on just press power button.
If TF3D is disabled you can start it with the maped button too.
After 5 minutes a windows apear which will ask if device should go to sleep, if you press yes or do nothing device goes to sleep, if you press no the window will reapear in 5 minutes, i make that cause i miss that device with TF3D won't go automaticlly to sleep.
To remove the scripts just run remove notifications.mscr and delete the files.
hey i can't seem to get it to work on my nike..
how do you run writenotification.mscr???
My device says: first run program, then file.
And do you know a way to reload the clock so it starts on 00:00 and then flip down. Mine only does that when i enable the plugin the first time after it has been disabled.

what do you mean by unpack all files to the root of your device.
in the attached zip file are several mscr files. Copy them to the main directory of your phone
can't work for me.... i must locate files in windows folder or anywhere in my device? when i click on mscr file WriteNotification.mscr nothing happens why?

If anyone here is playing around with TF3D for qvga or the drivers you should know that everything with this is still instable and beta´.
The script to it works on some roms and on some not,
If i hear questions like what is mort script and so on i think noone of you should anything of this, caus you are unable to use a search button.
Next versions of the script are posted in the new TF3D Manila dev. forum.
I think everything is posted there (that has to do with manila) until development is ready.
Cause everyone here is always asking the same questions.
If someone can't get rid of the notifications.... mmhhh.... search and you will find a solution how to edit the notifications on your your phone. Hard reset was not needed.

on the contrary..due to time...a hard reset was needed..I dont have time at this particular moment to dig and search for a solution... it is much less time consuming for me to harrd reset and restore from a back up. If you have solution to the notifications issue you should have posted it ...not trying to diss you but seriously...what was the point?
If after the write notifications script, you start the remove notification script all is good.
look into the scripts and you will see that the one does the oposite of the other.
Don't know why it dowsn't work for you.
Try the attached one, it doesn't do anything with notifications, in the archive there is a readme file.
If you don't want this anymore just delete the scripts and the lnk file(make a backup of the old one if it's there)

If you don't want this anymore just delete the scripts and the lnk file(make a backup of the old one if it's there)

If after the write notifications script, you start the remove notification script all is good.
look into the scripts and you will see that the one does the oposite of the other.

I have been using this most recent one and it has proven to be the best solution thus far! Is there any type of update on this method since your last post? I am not a member of the developers forum but I feel you are on the right track and hate to be excluded from future developments.
Thanks for all of your work!!!!!
Great, work. This is really the workaround that makes TouchFlo3D worth it for me. The turning off is smooth, whilst it takes a bit too long to switch on (I know that's touchflo and not your script).
I couldn't get the autooff to work. The instructions say to paste the autooff and poweron in the root folder. Shouldn't poweron be in the windows/startup folder? Otherwise I don't see how that script is being called? Or are the scripts in the root folders run automatically?
Is the newest mortscript beta release required for the latest version of this to work? Or would 4.05 or 4.1 do just as well?
Thanks for the good work!
Edit: Ah, the short_power.lnk calls poweron. But doesn't that means you have to manually enter standby and then wake up every time you softreset?
Will be taking delivery of my HD2 today.What do I need?
File Explorer? Total Explorer? Which version? According to the website none support the snapdragon processor(unless it has a different name)
What about to change visual aspects?
Is it just a case of finding a particular .cab file, loading it onto the SD card and installing?
And how does it work? If I install (for eg) transparent slider.cab ,then decide I dont want transparent just reduced transparency, do I need to uninstall the first one and install the second?

Seriously, wait till you've had the phone for about a week before doing anything to it. You sound like a puppy that's about to go for a walk! Chill man. Get to know the phone before you start changing it, or you'll just end up asking for things that it already does!
Yeah thanks.
Any answers to the questions I asked though?

File explorer will not let you copy/move certain files, but Total Commander, or Resco Explorer will. Just get the latest version, and don't worry about the processor. They run on Windows - they don't care about the processor.
If you install theme/visual changes, there's no hard-and-fast rule about what to do to replace the changes. Some of them you can uninstall and it restores the original look. Others don't. You can usually just install a new change over a previous one, but not always. You're gonna have to just find out through trial and error, or by asking, when you have specific questions to ask.
I wasn't being dismissive earlier - there's just no straight forward answer to such ambiguous questions.
Enjoy your new phone mate. I've had mine for 6 weeks now and I still love it like it was new yesterday!

Uhh... yes it does. Menu -> Edit -> Copy/Cut/Paste/Paste Shortcut. I've got Total Commander but I only really ever use it for registry tweaks.

Uhh... just because the options are there doesn't mean they work for every file. As you quoted me saying, "File explorer will not let you copy/move certain files" (certain files, not all files).
Thanks
Uhh... You're both right!
File Explorer will NOT let you copy/move/delete certain files
However it WILL let you copy/move/delete certain files
The key is the words 'certain files'. The 'certain files' John C is referring to are, for example, most of the files stored in the Windows folder and these tend to be exactly the ones we want to delete or rename. You WILL need one of the above-mentioned apps to mess around with them.
File Explorer is fine if you're only manipulating non-System files.

I was only explaining that I wasn't wrong - he'd misread my statement. Obviously if it doesn't work for certain files then it does work for the rest. The context of the question suggests that the OP needed that explaining to him, or he'd only come back later and say "I can't copy this manila file into the windows folder", and we'd have to explain it to him then!
Bottom line, we're all right, and we're all trying to give the OP a concise answer (which I think he's got now)
Ah ok, my bad. Sorry.
Ahhh... That's nice...
Now we're all friends again, to come back to the OP's original question, I'm with John C on this. Take your time, get to know your phone and decide what you REALLY need first.
IMHO, the only thing you should install from the start is the BSB Tweaks cab (Just search the Leo forum for latest version - I think it's in a sticky somewhere). This will save you having to install a Registry Editor and installing a lot of these tweaks manually. It also makes it a lot easier to switch the tweaks on and off.
There are also some HTC updates now available (for Camera, SMS and SD Card). They have been out for a few days now and I haven't seen too many complaints, so I would say they are all safe to install...
Finally... ROM updates...
There are a couple now available from HTC. But again, unless you're experiencing a problem which you know has been fixed by these new ROMs, I would leave them alone. I've still got the original O2 ROM in my HD2 and it's working perfectly well, so I've not bothered to upgrade just yet.
All of the above is just my personal opinion. Hope you find it useful...
By the way, if you find BSB Tweaks (or any other cab that someone has invested time and effort into creating) useful, you might want to think about making a small donation. A $5 PayPal transaction is easily made, costs about the price of a pint (in the UK) and really makes these guys (and gals) faces light up!
Wont be updating the ROM. TBH I dont even know if I will be keeping the phone. I am an iPhone owner .

Now you tell us...! ;-)
Just before we all get tarred with the same brush, I'm also an iPhone owner, and will be keeping my ROM-upgraded HD2 and selling my 3GS ;-)
Got my HD2.Although Im liking(not loving) it ,there are a couple ofthings I dont like.
1) I sometimes wake up to 30+ spam emails.Do I really have to open each one and delete them individually?(havent had the phone 24 hours so happy to be proved wrong)
2) I dislike the fact that when I delete an email from the phone, it deletes from the server
3)Dont like having to mess about opening different video players depending on codec (BUT it does play different codecs so cant really complain I guess)
4) This is probably down to not having too much time to play, but how do I get the screen to turn off? Is there a setting somewhere I can turn it off after x amount of time.Or do I HAVE to press the power button?

5) Oh, and the Alarm!!! Is it possibly the worst alarm on a mobile phone ever?
Im not the heaviest of sleepers but there is a strong possibility that I would miss the 2 second alarm.

1) You can click on "Inbox" then Menu->Select Messages->Several, Choose the messages you want to mark as read then Menu->Mark as read/delete
2) I kindof makes sence to delete the email - keep the two in sync or is that only my perception on things
3) Try use one codec possibly, I'm certain there are different players out there with the ability to play a wider range its just a case of looking (sorry i don't really use my phone for music/multiple video formats)
4) Yes there is a setting settings->sound and display->backlight
5)Agreed it is rubbish I've tried G alarm because everyone seems to rave about it but i wasn't too keen but you could still try it and it does do the alarm sound for longer than 2 rings
Thanks for that Strange though because the screen is set to switch off after 1 minute. It doesn't! Was still on when I woke up this morning
I'm looking for some cabs:
1. A cab that will allow me to select more than one file to copy/cut/paste
2. How to make the lists in folders smaller (as in the Energy Roms)
That's it...unfortunately, don't know their names-hence my issue in finding them.
Currently running Xanny Evo 17b

1. You mean like a file explorer which allows you to select one than one file?
Resco explorer (3rd party app), file explorer 2 and I think total commander and basic file explorer on most roms also does this
2. Some file explorers you can change view in options or do you mean amount of files in programs etc. If the latter you create more folders like 'tweaks' etc in /windows/start menu/programs and then move your desired file into this folder
Thanks, but let me clarify...
You (and I) both use Xanny. What do you use to select more than one file in a folder (music, for example)? It's irritating copying/pasting/cutting only one file at a time.
As for #2, I would.like to get rid of the finger friendliness when listing files. With Xanny, for example, all files have a double space between them,.and the font is relatively large.(for ease of choosing). At this time, only 7 items can be seen at a time. Would like it single spaced.

Well to be honest I use Resco Explorer to select more than one file. You can either select all or use the 'multi-selection' mode. Open your folder containing music, then go to menu > edit > multi-selction mode then select the files you want before you either move, copy, run them etc
Thought i'd post in here as I'm looking for some cabs too. I've searched for 3 days and it's time to ask. Can anyone please tell me the name of the program that adds the buttons to the bottom of the home screen like this >screenshot< shows (camera, opera and comm manager buttons)? I'm sure everyone knows the name... except me.
I've searched for maxmanilla, home plugins, home buttons, sense ui, etc. and I've found pics of this all over the forums but haven't been able to find the exact name of this cab/program/plugin, without installing a whole new rom.
Cheers.

Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for. Solved both #1 and #2. Thanks again.
With regard to stuntdouble's question: There is no cab to enable the shortcuts, you will need to update your ROM to one of the 6.5.x HTC Sense versions that have that as a feature. Look in the Roms section and pick out something that looks good to you. But don't ask which one is best, as it's all a matter of taste.

Yeah telegraph0000 is correct, you'll need to flash a wm6.5.x rom to get those buttons on the home screen.

Backup your ROM and try one for the heck of it. If you don't like it, reflash Topix and restore the backup. Nothing lost, but some quality family time...and who doesn't have that to spare
Total Command also allows multiple file selection. However I've only been able to access the feature in landscape mode. I haven't really delved into it too much.
Flip to landscape, click on "Ctrl" (a new button that appears in the toolbar) and you'll be able to select more than one file.
