[APP][WM6.5] Magnifier Configurator (24th Aug) - beta
Hello,
since I'm about to develop WM application, I wanted to get into WM restrictions for C#.
So there the app is - it lets you setup Magnifier (setting timeouts, enabling "features", ..) plus adding/deleting apps in which will be Magnifier disabled.
It was built for QVGA on WM6.5 build 23034 CSY, but it should run on all resolutions.
It needs .NET compact framework!

Just copy it to your device (anywhere) and run the .exe.
It is early beta version, it will probably fail to set some parameters properly (converting from bool to dword is the biggest problem), so when you find something, tell me. Thanks.
Also, some settings (I've done it from registry, I hope I got all options named correctly) might not work as expected, but that must fix MS in WM itself (like Ellipse option).
Current version: Magnifier_beta2.zip
Old versions
Magnifier_beta.zip - missing SIP and menu icons
Known options:
Enabled - enables/disables whole magnifier
Bilinear -
Elipse - currently buggy when enabled, not sure what it is supposed to do
Show crosshair - shows (or does not) crosshair when opened
Use High Fidelity - when you open magnifier and then try to move it to somewhere else, it still shows the original position, you must wait till it closes to show different place
Resize For High Fidelity -
Crosshair Length - Length of Crosshair
Crosshair Thickness - Thickness of Crosshair
Doubletap Distance - Max distance between taps to open magnifier
Doubletap Time - Maximum time it will wait for "doubletap" to open magnifier
Deactivate Delay - time before it starts disappearing
Fade Duration - Time how long it will take to disappear completely
Height -
Max Window Size -
Width -
The free ones are still waiting to investigate.
If you think that one of these is incorrect, post me that and I'll fix it.
-- reserved one more (no more needed, thanks)
Ooh. Nice tool
This looks very useful.
Thanks!
I guess that some settings might not work (like staying (un)checked) so just tell me (I always write Elipse instead of Ellipse and always search for this mistake half an hour ).
PS: You must reboot after saving changes to getting it to work of course.
Very excited about this could relieve alot of issues with my tap response in opera and such!!! Thank you for this!!!!
Well.This is great however I have a major issue. No SIP so I can't type anything in. I'm trying this on my Omnia which is 240X400 and the bottom bar is completly covered and I don't have a hard keyboard.

yeah +1 i was so excited about this! Still am but is there away around this
*Edit Using My Mobiler in the meantime and this works!!!!
I totally forgot adding SIP since I have HW keyboard, sorry, I'll fix it ASAP.
Added to first post with added MainMenu control (Start button, X/OK and SIP) - Magnifier_beta2.zip
great job ondraster will test it later and let you know how it works.
Hey thanks for the great tool. I was in need of this...
Best Regards
Thanks. Good!!!
Thanks man! useful app.
have to ask though, how did you get those nice icons for the new bottom taskbar as in the screenshot?
I'm creating new WM theme for myself, you can get them on internet, resize them to 16x16px (PNG) and then name them as <themename>_bubble_flag.png and _bubble_ok.png and _bubble_foo.png if I remember right (I'm not at home at this moment, sorry).

can we use this on wm6?
there is no magnifier glass on wm6, so no.
Anyways, this app is outdated, I think they changed it in last builds.
Hello
I was looking for something like this for my poor sight. But I install it and it tell me:
NullReferenceException
in MagnifierSetup.main .. ctor ()
in MagnifierSetup.Program.Main ()
I have a HD with a HTC WM 6.5 Spanish Language Software
Magnifier doesn't work on 5.2.21892
Hi .
I need to use a 240*320 blocked resolution application on my TP2.
I have wm 6.5 build 5.2.21892 and i tried to use the Magnifier_beta but the exe doesn't work and an error appear: this exe file seems not been for your S.O.
There is something i can do?

Anyone knows how to remove the bottom soft menu buttons (messages/calendar bar) at the bottom?
:roll:
Greetz
DvL
Are you talking about the soft menu buttons (the menu bar right at the bottom of the screen?).
V
..
aha that is what it called? :shock:
yes i mean the soft menu thingy ;o) it is covering some of my fine vga theme art LOL
:twisted:
hmmm
Anyone?
Have you tried WisBar Advanced with WisBar Desktop???
It is a great set of programs that gives you the ability to hide the soft buttons
www.lakeridgesoftware.com
ehh
YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT LOL
but that slows down the Universal sooo much, i actually got my idea from WAD (wisbar advanced desktop).
I would like just a hack or so! then it would show my theme perfectly in landscape mode too..
Love the speed of my Universal now! only got pocketbreeze 5 installed! perfect.
So? any code hackers here? or .cab makers (soft menu buttons off and soft menu buttons on cab)??
dvl, this is discussed elsewhere on the forum. I believe that Wisbar desktop advance allows you to hide the soft buttons in Wisbar, but these menus bars are made per application.
I've made an app to hide the bars on the Today screen but it only works on WM2003 yet, NOT wm5. In fact I believe that it does hide the bars in WM5, but it doesn't allow you to use the space (yet). This is how it looks on WM2003se:
{
"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"
}
That's discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
This is NOT wm5 yet, but as soon as I get a new copy of visual studio 2005 I'll fix it. It WILL work, just have to wait a while :wink:
If you want to generally hide the bars, I've made a program to do it, but you have to replace the bars with something: you'll just end up with a bit of empty space there otherwise. I've made a program to do that too,
but that's not generally available yet. eg full screen calendar hack.
Oh, and fullscreen terminal services:
V
hmm
i actually look for a way in hiding it like wibar advanced desktop does it, removing it and showing what is behind it (wallpaper).
just replacing it with another image is not what i actually am looking for.
I am sure a lot of people know exactly what i mean ;o) something like wisba advanced desktop without having to use that resource hogging program self LOL
:twisted:
Eh? That's what all my programs do (on wm2003se anyway!)
V
ehh
ok email it to me lol. lets see if it works on wm5 LOL
dvl: the link is already posted above. As I said, it doesn't work on WM5, or at least not properly, so I don't recommend it right now, although hopefully in a week or so I'll have the new VS 2005 and can finish the damn thing off. For now it will remove the soft menu buttons, but NOT fill the space up (on WM2003 it expands your today screen, which is why that thread is called "16% bigger today screen" or something...)
Follow that thread and try it, but as I said, it doesn't work as designed yet. You might ask why I'm mentioning it then: because no one else has come up with a solution to remove the bars, and I'm just highlighting that it can be done, by anyone. My own version will be here soonish.
V
VJ! FULL SCREEN TERMINAL SERVICES!!!! This is just too bloody awesome for words...I stopped following that thread when I figured no-one was gonna solve it. I'm off to contribute GBP10 to your WM5 fund right now - please keep my real name out of any messages.
Hangin in there for JasJar compliant:
- VJDialer (works on other wm5 devices I hear, not the JJ tho)
- ToggleStart (tho not sure it'll be any use until PhoneAlarm works on WM5 AND VGA <- I'm correct in believeing there are no VGA skins, hey?)
- This full screen TS capability!!
For others who want to see VJ working on his apps, use this paypal link to contribute to his VS2005 and WM5 device costs:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...ency_code=GBP&bn=PP-DonationsBF&charset=UTF-8
craigiecraigie4 - wow, thanks man! I'm getting to my WM5 device slowly, although your donation even distracted my better half from her CSI this evening!
I did the fullscreen terminal services mainly as a response to your pleading, thought you'd already seen it! Have you posted in the other thread?
Hopefully, as soon as I get a copy of Visual Studio 2005, I'll get it sorted out in beta.
Thanks again!

Hello all,
maybe many of you tryed my previous application for SMS writing TapTapSMS and maybe you like this new way of text inputing. So here is NEW native SIP (software keyboard) for your PocketPC (all resolutions - WM5, 6, 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5.3). I must mention that you must get used to this new technology because it differs a lot from the classic PC-like input method. It's because standard PocketPC (without hardware keyboard) differs a lot from the classic PC. So enough about it... try it!
P/S: It chanced that I found a THIEF who stole my technology without any word that I'M THE AUTHOR OF THIS UNIQUE TYPING METHOD: http://tikilabs.com/app/tikinotes/
UPDATE1: VGA version available
UPDATE2: New black skin!
UPDATE3: Fixed missing equal char ("=") and some other chars added.
UPDATE4: Fixed uninstall problem.
UPDATE5: Now supporting custom layouts and skins.
UPDATE6: I have added new US/German optimized layout to customize section.
UPDATE7: Added two new panels (navigation panel & basic operations panel).
UPDATE8: Added HVGA version.

bkf1,
i tried ur keyboard and find its the right screen size. only thing i don't like its the repetitive taping to choose a letter. it would be better if u make one tap and give options kinna like T9.
Hi, idea is quite interesting. Is possible to create it as SIP? So it's usable with others programs, not just writing SMS?

Click to collapse
I'm sorry. It is SIP. At first I clicked at TapTapSMS link. Really good work
right, as a SIP and with word completion/suggestion/correction and skinning it would be very nice. I write a lot on my device but hardly any SMS
TO Hundera:
UPDATE: VGA versions (low/high resolution) available!
please a request
can someone put a cab file here? thanks in advace
I have already downloaded them If you want VGA version with high-res graphics you must download it from my site Use any downloader (e.g. Download Accelerator, DownThemAll (Firefox plugin), etc.).
New black skin... !!!
Big BMP images replaced with small PNG images... so now it's smaller especially the VGA version...
I'll try this out and report back. Thank you.
It's freezing Sorry to you all I must replace it with previous version
UPDATE: Fixed uninstall problem.
Suggestion
I like your app.
i suggest that after tapping a letter i prefer that we stay at the same group of letters and if we want to change another group we tap on the back button thanks.
While long-term testing I have found out that I need to use chars from other char panels more frequently than from currently selected char panel. Anyway thanks for your suggestion
thanks for your answer.
Great idea but I must admit I had thought of a similar method myself but lack the time or patience to implement myself, so I figure i'll see if you want to do anything with it
Same idea, click on a group of letters and it brings them up larger, but instead of grouping a,b,c,d,e etc into 1 group, why not group it as it appears on a standard keyboard? it'd be more intuitive for most people as the same keys are found in the same general area as a normal keyboard...
So have what looks like the normal WM keyboard on the screen, but have thicker lines seperating the different groups. So left of the keyboard can be the letters q,w,e,r,a,s,d,z,x then have t,y,f,g,h,c,v,b,n as the next group followed by u,i,o,j,k,l,m or something along those lines? Basically it has the user looking for certain keys in the same places as there already used to.
It's just a thought but a good one I think personally though others may not agree
It is definitely very precise.
While I like this aspect of it I do like the idea of a qwerty layout however.
Believe me I have tried the QERTY layout (btw there are only 7 keys, the 8th is for ENTER) but typing with it is very hard to learn (remember a,b,c,d,e,f,g it's much more easier than e.g. q,w,e,r,t,y,u). It's because this keyboard HAS NOTHING COMMON with the other keyboards. This is completelly new original type method.

I've been having a play getting Panels running on the Touch HD, and thought i'd put a CAB up of my efforts so far... i'm working to make the experience even better... consider this EARLY BETA!
What's hot...
- It works
- No 'Panels' button the HD of course, so you get a Panels icon on the start menu
- Performance of the actual panels is great
- It works
- AppToDate support for future updates
What's not so hot (yet)...
- It takes a few seconds for the panel select app to open
- The FM Radio and Media Xperience panels don't work properly on the HD (is the FM Radio panel outputting via extUSB?)
- The TouchFlo 3D plugin has to be disabled or pressing the home key returns you to TF3D (working on fix)
What's coming up
- Speed boost!
- Option to map to hardware button
- Requests?
What you need to do to install
- Disable TF3D from Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items
- Install main CAB from below
- REBOOT
- Run Panels from the start menu to choose panel
- Optionally install additional panels from the links below

Enjoy!

As I say it's just a first cut and by no means perfect, but it works...

Toot Toot
now installing and testing, btw, which device (x1 or HD) has better video hardware acceleration? Or is it the same?
i gotta say, hats off to you! Looks really good. Saw some salesman with his se x1 and the speed doesn't even differ much. Ofcourse it would be nice if the panels react a little more smoother, but my first impressions are: wow!
keep up the good work!
just a quickie how do you get back out from a panel ???
:sonyNewbie:
i use start panel, then you can choose panels
Thanks God...you are not calling for testers and then no cabs...and all you see is pages and pages...no cabs...
but Modaco, you directly posted the cabs...great...I will try it soon.
Thanks for the efforts
Jezwick, how do you mean? Once you are in the panel selector you need to pick a panel...
P
my screens full of fishes and I can't get out of it !!!!
LooksGreat mind !!!
Er, so select a different panel to get rid of the fish!
The top left one is 'standard today'...

Hi Modaco.
Well....it does not work for me...
I installed the 10,1 Mb CAB and I can see the Panels quick launcher in my start menu, but it keeps on showing me something like "PanelManager.exe cant`t be open. It couldn`t be digitally signed or there is a missing component, If the probelm persists, etc...." (free translation form spanish) everytime i Reboot the HD.
Of course when I push the Pannels Quick Launcher nothing happens...
Any idea to fix it?.
Thanks.
very nice. Thanks Paul. I like the spb one!

Hmmm, probably translated to running on a Spanish ROM? Ahhhh, is your 'Program Files' directory called something else? Lazy me, i've hardcoded that filename into my app (which is what runs when you hit that Panels icon)...
I'll fix that in next release!

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!

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.

Hi!
I'm a longtime lurker, ever since I got my Touch HD when it first came out and I NEEDED to have an english rom instead of a dutch one. Thanks to this place, my phone runs exactly how I want it to (most of the time ).
Except for a decent app launcher. I HATE the win6/6.1 scrollist ones, allthough the startmenu after that sucked a little less. I liked the yotacenter launcher, but in the end I just ran out of space and had to hit the "all apps" button too often and scroll through a huge list.
So I wrote my own in c# under .net 3.5.
And, seeing as I got all my tweaks and fixes from you guys, I thought I should give something back; in essence a quick and dirty app launcher which does exactly what I want: organise the programs I use the most.
It's a catagory per page, has menu, contextmenu and top-scroll-bar driven UI and you can add your own background:
{

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I wrote it to be as device independant as I knew how, but I've really only tested it on my Touch HD1, so I'm really curious as to how it runs "in the wild" (or even on any other HD ). To save some effort, I've just packaged the .exe, which should run from any location. If it doesn't, \Program Files\AppGrouper\ should do it.
It should come with a default background and an icon...for this initial release [call it a beta] I didn't create a cab, so you'll have to copy/edit an existing .lnk file to get the program to show up in the windows\startmenu\ .lnk files so you can use a launcher to launch my launcher (yeah, I get the irony ), or just start the app from the exe.
Anyway, as I said this is the first application I'm releasing to the public, so please give me some feedback I have no idea what "unknown unknowns" this app'll run into on different machines than my emulator and my own Touch HD. The only deletion the program can do is to a specifically named .xml file it generates itself, so it should be safe enough
PS: as I was entering the tags to this post, I realised that this type of software could have been made and released many times: I've only used MS's launcher and the yotacenter one, so any ideas and/or other similarities to other launchers is coincidence and a case of simultanious devellopment (or in my case, retarded devellopment ). Again, any feedback is appreciated, from bugs to implementation to "you've totally ripped off x!". 'Cause I didn't, but I'd like to know about x
Anyway, I hope someone can use this!
Nice apps. The Title Folder box ought be longer to fit the text
Hehe
Ok, so I guess I'll have to set up an auto resize routine for the textsize and the textbox ... check back in a day or two
BTW, what device did you use this on? I'm curious to know if the program works correctly on devices other than touch hd's, too.

BTW, what device did you use this on? I'm curious to know if the program works correctly on devices other than touch hd's, too.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I use on Topaz, see my sig
Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
I think mortbutton can do better than this
Ok app. thanks for sharing
By default can you pick up start menu and folder under it as group?
Else I think mortbutton can do far better job than your program. + .netcf 3.5 requirment
Thanks for sharing it. Few things I noticed
while trying to add an to a folder a drop down menu reveal 3 options - the first one is to add an app, what is the second one? it is blank on my tp2?
after running an app it stays in memory. is this how you designed it? i would prefer if it closed after running an app
finally, can you list here launchers that you came across that are standalone apps, meaning they do not sit in memory or eat CPU. i am looking for something like that with folders/tabs like yours and self-close after use.
thanks for sharing. i have one single question. i have installed it on my herald, but i cannot add more then one app to a group. am i missing something?
Sweet launcher! Thank U
I like your application!
As being an anti manila user Until now I was addicted to Program Finder plugin (attached) running on the Today Screen. Unfortunately the Today Screen does not have the SIP toggle in the bottom bar plus sometimes the Today Screen needs a refresh, due to Program Finder being an very old program; its messing up the Today Screen.
Therefore I searched the whole internet and finally after searching for 1 year I found [attachment]ToggleInputPanel.exe[attachment]. I'm executing programs via icons by running Easy Today Launcher.
Your application is a welcome alternative, thanx again! o/~
