WM5.o Compatible close button needed!

has anybody come across a one button close all application for WM5.0? Spb 3.0.1 is too slow on WM5 and Wisbar Advance 2.4.....is also too much for what is needed. Something like Magicbutton but written for WM5.0 would br nice, nothing that requires much memory, but something that enables the closing of running apps without having to go into start/settings/system/memory...etc.
Wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft had just written in that piece of code, as they are well aware that since PPC2000, that every application opened, remains so unless you manually close it down in memory (therefore hogging memory resources!) :evil:
Well if anyone knows of a WM specific solution, please do share.

I added couple files which they are usefull for you and they include the closeall app.
Install the cab files you'll see the close all, Reset and Running programs, which they can be clicked from the systray directly, after the installation they require a soft reset or else you go to Start>Programs>System open TrayLaunch and press Enable

GSPocketMagic++ is the most stable program I've tried. You need to put some amended bitmaps in to get it to integrate with WM5 but it works well...

Thanks guys. I'll try them both and let you know how I get on.

Damn!! My Jasjar is a Rocket!!

sub69: I don't know what kind of coding they used in that software you recommended, but it has boosted refresh rates and performance in general by at least 30%!! I know this sounds crazy but it's true! My opinion has completely changed about the speed of the Jasjar. It seriously Rocks! I couldn't care less if it doesn't stay this way, because it shows me conclusively, that future ROMs' will probably address the issues I have had thus far.
I needed this. Thanks a bunch sub69; best link I've had with regards to Universal software.
OK 1 gripe only: I've lost my two soft buttons on the bottom bar (any ideas?). It comes back and stays operational after a soft reset, but as soon as I use the 'close all' option of the program, I loose the soft keys! Damn..there's always a hitch!
Another positive though, the speed boost remains even after I have exited the program and revert to standard WM5.0 launcher!
P.S. I had at least 12 programs running simultaneously with no slow downs at all and 15 megs of Memory still available (tried to run out of memory, But couldn't). Very pleased at the moment, this is what I was expecting from the HTC Universal!! I'll test extensively before I comment further.
Thanks again sub69, u da Man!!

Mental...I didn't realise it was that good!?!
Not sure about the soft buttons, although come to think of it I have noticed they've disappeared a couple of times. Must've been when I hit "Close All" too?
Glad I could help, anyway. Do let us know how things go...

Still cannot believe it!! It's still going strong. Sussed the soft button thingy:Under start (GSPocket)/options/settings...uncheck the 2 tabs for'use exten task close' & 'Use Today skin'. That's it. It runs absolutely perfectly for me & with no need for amended bitmaps too! It fits right in wih my red or blue border themes (I only use my own jpegs now instead of themes - in the hope that I get no performance issues.....so far so good). Under menu settind tab I only select close all & setting (which gives me quick access to all settings in WM5.0..personal & system) and under 'click' tab I leave it as default 'Menu'. I'm so impressed with this software, I didn't think non-specific WM5 software coul be this good!
That site you recommended is also tops!
This software is so good that I must put up a new thread to inform all of your wonder find. I just hope all who try it get the same experience I'm getting. Thanks again sub69....I don't even feel the need for the next ROM update/grade...though I won't be turning it away.

Hmmm, not sure why you're that stunned. I'm finding it just fine - but certainly no faster than my JJ runs under PocketPlus 3.01, and the non-VGA graphics are a real step backwards. Anyone know how to solve this?
You mention a speed improvement; can you clarify: Before this, how long did it take to rotate the screen, and how long does it take now?

MagicButton (mbutton) works with batterymeter
Hi All,
I installed MagicButton (freeware) om my K-Jam. It works so far!
Cheers,

pocketpcfreewares.com is great! They do an RSSfeed showing all new and updated software, too, so its a permanent fixture as a "Live Bookmark" on my Firefox bookmarks toolbar.
I must fiddle with some .bmp's for GSPocketMagic++...

Can someone tell me how to install this? In laymans terms

It's simpler than you think

That's the file you need to download for the Jasjar, then if you have an SD card reader, you can transfer it directly to it and install the .cab file by selecting it! If you don't have a card reader, let's hope you have a bluetooth dongle, as it's a small file then you can bluetooth it over. However if you have no problems with your activesync connection, just use that to dump the .cab file on your storage card somewhere or into 'My Documents' on the jasjar.
It's not complicated.

Yep, using it myself now - but no speed change over PocketPlus (even after hard reset to remove PP). Using it cos I like menu and PP didn;t offer all that much more that other apps don;t give me.

TF3DOnnOff Paket by JeckyllHavok

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.

Do you have MortScript installed on your device?
Just open the file like an audio file for example.

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?

<<--Extract here the files from the zip file
and now place a second copy of TF3D Displayoff.mscr in \Windows\Start Menu\programs\HERE...
Before you start right press remove notification and open it, and noe the same with erite notification.
Now map TF3D Display OFF to a button of your choice and disable TF3D in today plugins and restart.
If it works you will notice that TF3d start...

What about search function? Or Google?

This prog. freezes up my Kaiser to the point of a soft reset. I see TF3D start automatically after a reset, but when I press the assigned soft key to 'sleep' the screen goes off for a second, comes back on, TF3D is gone, and the unit is unresponsive...

doesnt work...I followed your instruction explicitly....and 1 after the inital reboot...tf3d doesnt come up and when activating the TF3D Displayoff.mscr its just dims my screen...howeever I'm still testing

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)

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?

[APP] Call Manila Control by built-in Biotouch.exe

This is not a program, but just registry settings to use the built-in biotouch.exe to call Manila Control in order to toggle between M2D and Today.
Notes:
must install Manila Control to \Windows\ before the attached .cab
the cube no longer works after installing this, but the corresponding processes (i.e. QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and APLauncher.exe.exe) may still in your memory unless you replace the .exe by dummy programs or kill the processes.
must backup the original [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] before installing the attached cube, otherwise won't be able to restore the cube.
toggling M2D/Today using softkeys as shown in the demo video is NOT set by the attached .cab

great idea. Although I've still yet to find a use for a second today screen. lol

Vogue uses different registry settings. please try the newly added cap in post #1. pls be prepared for bug-fixing time because i can't test it on my own. for safe, pls do a backup, especially the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] registry key, before installing.
good luck.

if you want a try, i guess the Polaris version can be a good start. pls be prepare for the pull-up screen being in 1/4 size.

Is it possible to use this on HTC Touch (Elf)?
And also I would like to change running program from ManilaControl to any other, for example CommManager.
I've installed reg settings from the Vogue cab (is it right?), and copied original Biotouch.exe and dummy APLauncher.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and QuickDial.exe to the windows dir, created shortcut for biotouch.exe in the windows/startup folder and Soft-reseted my device.
Now when I make touch gesture the screen appears into black and nothing happens.
Is it possible using registry settings to bind touch gesture to run any exe (for example, commmanager.exe)?
Thank you for answers!

sorry i really can't answer your question because i haven't played around with a Jade before and I don't have any friends who have bought one. the main prob is, i don't know the version no. of biotouch shipped with Jade.
if you really want a try,
do a full backup (so that you can hard reset + restore in worst case)
backup/export the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch] registry subtree
try the Polaris version
good luck

basically yes. the trick is in the "App1" reg key. if the app being called has a visible window and you want to use the swipe-down gesture to hide it (like the original cube), the first part of the key value must be the right class name. otherwise, like the case for Manila Control, simply use a non-exist class name.

I've duplicated my commanager.exe and mui files and renamed them to biotouch.exe and biotouch.exe.mui, so now after the touch gesture commanager is running. It works!
Here is the test cab file, i haven't tested it on a clean device, but it seems to be work. If it doesn't working, post here please.

though not totally take if off, but editing the registry keys as below can minimize its appearance:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
"TotalBMP"=dword:00000001
"Cube1"=hex:07,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,0A,C8,C9,CA,CB ,01,01,01,01,01,01
"UpFPS"=dword:0000FFFF
if you want to further cut down the size of the snoopy image that may appear for a short time, you can also change the below key:
(for Nike and Polaris) "Path1"="mc01.brn"
(for Vogue) "Path1"="\Windows\mc01.brn"

Is it possible to call manilla from any program with this gesture fix?
I mean the way I call and close cube by just scrolling tumb up or down.

Navipanel

I have found the tip to access Navipanel without the dock. A couple of questions:
It seems that Navipanel can only be used in landscape mode - is this right because I tend to have my phone docked in portrait mode?
How do I exit Navipanel once I have finished with it?
Thanks,
James

How did you open Navipanel, i don't seem to find it in the Windows folder.

By following the instructions in the hints and tips - see the sticky at the top of the forum.

6. Enable NaviPanel Without Owning the Car Kit/Navigation Dock
Go to Windows folder and copy NaviPanel.exe as a shortcut to Windows\Start Menu folder.

You must use Resco Explorer (AND switch off in setting of resco "Hide hidden files", Hide files in Rom") !

I just wanted to post that RescoExplorer doesn't show hidden files by default. I found it with total commander and then thought it might be an option like that in Resco.
Thanks guys.

Any thoughts on the original questions ?

1. Couldn't swear to it, but I think I remember seeing pictures or video of the panel in both landscape and portrait orientations
2. Press the Home key - the panel doesn't appear to stay resident in memory - haven't checked this with Memmaid or anything yet, but it certainly doesn't appear in Task Manager (Dutty's version)
A far bigger pain is that all of the links seem hard coded to a Co-Pilot install on the device, as opposed to one on the SD Card - iyt would be nice to be able to customise it!

Hi Gustopher - Thanks. It seems Navipanel starts in landscape and then if it feels like it rotates to portrait. This only seems to happen occassionally which is very frustrating because the most common case it that it is stuck in landscape mode. Does anyone know of a way of starting Navipanel in portrait mode?
To be honest all I want to achieve is to switch the phone to a mode where when I answer calls they automatically go to speaker phone and ideally for screen lock to be switched off. This must be a common use case for people who have their phone docked in a car. Anyone know of how this can be achieved using something other than Navipanel?
Many thanks,
James

Well, the Navipanel is supposed to be used in landscape mode in conjunction with an official dock in the first place.

On my phone navipanel is switching automatically when i rotate phone.
There is just a 6-7 sec. delay when switching landscape to portrait and 1-2 sec in oposite direction.

Just on another note - navipanel won't start on my HD2 no matter what i try - does anyone else have this problem? Also, what does it do!
it just loads up a half screen

hi
can we link Navipanels shortcuts to different navigation software?igo 8 maybe?and i would like to do the same with footprints.i don't like Copilot.
thx

I had the same problem so I wrote a little app for it.
Just copy it to your CoPilot folder and put the path to your Navi Software in the config.ini.
With igo8 I had the problem that it couldn't find its database when you start it this way so I had to create a link to igo8.exe and call this link instead.
You can get the app here:

Screen Rotation

Hello all. I have always wondered why i was not able to rotate the screeen more for apps other than opera. Why did i need to slide open the keyboard to get landscape mode? Well in searching i found this app in T-mobile touch pro 2 forum. the discovery was made by McBrian. Unfortunately i am not too sure who wrote the app. For this i apologize. I have used xda extensively and thought that this would be a good little app to post...to give back to the community. so here it is....Once u install the the cab, go to Programs and start the application and change the default settings to suit ur preference. I take no responsibilty for what happens to ur phone

there are several apps that do that, and can be found here on xda with some searching. Thanks for the link

Turns out ChangeScreen is the perferred program...
I'm wondering...if I don't like it, can I just remove the program?
Thanks,

If you want to uninstall it, all you have to do is go to Start>Settings>System>Remove Programs and select Changescreen before pressing "Remove".

Dave your the freakin man!!!
I swear your everywhere!!!
Anyway, I just downloaded the program and I was having a little trouble with excluding and including stuff...
I have no idea what's going on, but I think I got it to work. It's pretty slow though...
Can you post what you have on each tab checked and unchecked. I promise this will be the last you hear from me!!!
Thanks again,

LOL don't worry about it, I'm happy to help
On the 1st tab I have Enabled, Run on Startup, and the first two directions in the next row checked. On the second tab, I deleted "manila" from the list and nothing is checked. On the third tab, nothing is checked.
As for the slowness, however, there's no way I know to speed it up. It's a shame, as it does take quite a while to rotate.

Ahh...that's the problem...
I remember reading something you wrote that said exclude Manila...but I couldn't find it.
On the second tab (Exceptions), I have nothing there.
I simply have a bottom at the top that says "ADD". If I click add, it brings a blank slate and I can type stuff on there...it's weird.
Thanks again,

so whats the difference between this cab, abd the g sensor cab that once installed allows all of the manila TF3D stuff to rotate using the phones g sensor,then any new app you add just use g sensor app to make them rotate,theres no lagg with either of these

Even for my AT&T Tilt 2?

g config works with any pro 2 you jus st launch it then launch the app you want to rotate then insert the stylus and it adds that app to the ratation settings,
as for the g sensor cab im not ure give it a try, if it works then calender etc and everything else on TF3d should rotate without having to open the keyboard , if it doesnot work just remove the cab file

Does anyone else have any insight to these programs or even change screen?
I'm not too savy with HTC's...
Thanks,

from what i understand, and correct me if im wrong, but these programs will make ur battery drain significantly...the reason being is bc it "pools" the accelerometer alot more often than normal...again, correct me if im wrong but i believe this is true
