another way or a program to turn the flash light up?

Is there a program or a way to turn the flash light on? I want to assign it to one of my hard buttons and don't like going into camera then pushing the flash on everytime i want to use it.

Don't know if it works on your device, as it wasn't designed for it, but I wrote VJCandela to do this on older devices.

I use this one:

It's great and I have it assigned to a button just as you describe. Comes in very handy when digging in a computer or server racks.

does anyone know where i can put this exe so i can assign it to a button? i tried programs folder and windows folder and it doesn't show up on the list under settings > buttons
i also try putting the exe in the apps folder, no luck

I actually have it on my memory card... I think it gets registered as an application the first time you run it, then it can be added to the menu... it's been so long, I don't remember exactly.

Install the cab below, then go to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder and make sure flashlight.lnk is there and you will be able to assign it to a button like me.

the OP would need this, mine has been working all along

nice, thank you

agreed. please.

Thanks
Thanks for your response
Worked on this during the summer, mostly because i wanted to read the books myself
Regarding the VGA version,
Had problems with dynamically calculating the height of each page as the VGA device i tried the app on played tricks on the font size... 12 px font height, as an example, means nothing anymore since WM tries to compensate by resizing the fonts at runtime...
I think i solved it by adding a feature in the exe file that does the text box calculation. Have not had time to try it out though.
Ill keep you posted
Ciao,
Lars

VGA version ready!
Ok everyone, Just finished the VGA version. It works fine on the emulator so i think it will run on your device as well
www.gslide.mobi/?id=27
Keep in touch!
Ciao,
Lars

It may be just my fault, but I can't seem to change pages. A left swipe right?

Thanks for this! I'm really keen to read some of the works by that occultist satantist HP Lovecraft!
I've tried to load the VGA version here's what I did:
1. Copied HPL directory to storage card\program files
2. executed Gslide_install.exe
3. executed HPL_Install.exe
4. copied font to windows\fonts
5. executed HPL.exe
6. Face of satan worshipper shows
7. tap screen, hear music, white screen with top bar half trimmed off.
8. Can't do anything except minimise or close.
Context: HTC Touch Pro, EnergyROM Aurora, WM6.5.
Please help! I'm keen to fully understand Cthulu and how I can open a stargate through sexual magic!

Hmm... Will check it again...
Regarding the frozen white screen, this is supposed to last like 5 seconds. After this your supposed to see the library.
Try bringing up you keyboard an press space, just in case the pause mode toggle has messed up. The symbol means that the app is in pause mode.
Get back to you asap

Nice. Good way to introduce people to GSlide too.
Installed on Sprint Touch Pro (VGA, CDMA) -- working fine to load app, book, chapter, and for scrolling up and down, but I cannot seem to get it to change pages with a gesture, and have tried every variation on 'swipe or 'flick' or that I could come up with. Any thoughts?
Thank you for this collection, and the cool reader. Great work so far!

Unsure so far about the sweep problems...
D-Pad left/right is mapped to paging as well if you have it. So is the keyboards left/right keys.
Ill be back shortly

same for me. I'm running MightyROM6 on a TP. I hit the space bar on my keyboard but didn't change anything. When I executed HPL.exe, I could only see "Pocket Collection" and part of the "The HP Lovecraft"; when I executed GSlide.exe, I could see the whoe top banner correctly. Thanks for trying to get this working for VGA!

Fixed sweeping
Okidoki
Fixed sweep bug. I think
Download new GSlide.exe from
http://81.93.138.210/gslide/gslide_0_9.zip
Drop this in your /HPL/GSlide/ folder.
Enjoy!

Running the GSlide.exe in the HPL/GSlide folder works as well. The HPL.exe was made to get a nice splash and a custom icon.
Will fix the splash bug tomorrow

for VGA, only lets me close or minimize; nothing to choose from or view.

Hi fredcatsmommy,
does the pentagram symbol show up? And disapear?
Did you install as according to my readme files?
Does the music play?
Thanks

Possible fix for white screen
Hi,
If you dont get the library on start-up use this context.xml file in the HPL/GSlide/Context/Default folder.
This just adds a new menu item which lets you reload the library.
Get back to me

Updated main download
Hi Everyone
Updated the zip downloads at the site with the new files.
Ill keep on bug hunting tomorrow
Ciao

WARCRAFT 2 , Touch Pro 2, NON LAGGY, SMOOTH VERSION

Tried and tested.
EDIT: ARGH i just realised that i messed up somewhere in my upload, after menu it reverts to VGA with blackened places where it doesnt cover WVGA. still playable tho. gimme a while to solve it, i must have mixed some thing up some where
EDIT 2: fixed
I got several mails requesting for the WVGA version of Warcraft 2 as seen at http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2008/04/free-games.html. Its simple really, all you need to do is edit the preference files and you got yourself WVGA.
I believe there are a few WVGA versions on XDA, and i tried them, and i've no idea what he did but damn that was laggy and choppy. rest assured this isnt the same file, and its smooth and perfectly playable. (take note WQVGA is probably possible as well, just download the QVGA version from my other link, and download these preference files, and edit the two preference files inside with notepad, pay attention to the resolution)
Download the WVGA version (fixed tilesets and everything, shud be perfectly fine now)
http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2009/11/warcraft-2-wvga-version-totally-smooth.html
(u get better performance if u switch off the sounds)

pfffft solved the problem. i accidentally left out the tiles for 480X800. Will update within 24 hours with the files, gotta sleep now.

its done. please leave a comment if u have any problems or if it works fine for u.

Downloading

tell me if it works aite

Downloaded and started on my HTC Touch Pro 2.
Works Great!
Playing Warcraft 2 in the train now... (Netherlands).
Old-skool game!

glad to know, both instant action and campaign works fine right?

I downloaded it from my computer and then extracted it onto my TP2 since it was not seeing it as a .rar file when I downloaded it directly from my TP2. I just ran it on Single player and works great Thanks for uploading War2.
I was just wondering if there was a certain method you guy's used to do the "Right click" where it directs the peon? For me to move them around I use the attack button haha. Also there's no way for us to build walls huh? I trapped a few peons while building stuff haha. Was just wondering, anyhow thanks again!

Played it.
Pretty fun. Runs smoothly. Crashed after I beat the first level, but that might just be due to memory usage.

It doesn't support hardware keyboard and lelt orientation (turns right landscape)!?
When clicking near the place of virtaul keyboard (hided by game), the HTC virtual keyborad binks with the game window...
I use the game on the WM6.5 FR HTC stock rom

what are the campaign and gzes rar files for?

Awesome!!!!
this is very cool!! it runs great on the Tmo Usa Tp2.

Hmm.. I was excited to see this and downloaded right away. It starts up fine but when I try to click on "Human campaign" it crashes. Any ideas?

does not support hardware keyboard. to save just overwrite one of the save files provided. save often and save twice in two different slots cuz sometimes it gets corrupted
@Jrun, no choice but to use the move and attack function. to avoid trapping units place your buildings carefully. this can be done by clicking on the building u wanna build, but duntap straight away on the screen. instead, drag your stylus and u'll see the outline to place your building.
@ed_bracam, no problems on my side with virtual keyboard. if u're starting the game from somewhere, where there was virtual keyboard, like in sms windows and u use some shortcut to start game, may happen.
to swicth left/right orientation, go to options and select "full screen". it'll switch orientation.
@perkins, i'm sorry but i and the others have no problems so it sounds like its your rom. check ram, and pagepool and redownload maybe your download is corrupted.
@hani, dun wrry bout them

Can't get it to work with custom rom, I get to the menu click on single, it load then crash. running off of my memory, do i have to run it ont he device?

the first time i ran it i witnessed some screen tearing.. but now, it works just fine. hope i dont witness screen tearing again.
thanks a lot Baronic!!

screen tearing? weird never saw that before. you're welcome

Any chance of a manual?

The best should be support of the keyboard because it's not easy to play with the stilus only (you cannot win in hard mission because you develop too slow). If I remember, WC2 has a lot of keyboard shortcuts to play fast.

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.

I don't have the navipanel.exe in the windows folder so I cannot copy it anywhere.

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.

double post.

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:

Copy and paste capabilities?

Hi everyone,
I've been looking around the interweb for ways to copy and paste text on the NST.
What I was trying to do was Copy text from cool reader and paste it to gmail. Cool reader supports copy but then I can't paste it anywhere. (using long press like on my phone)
Nothing happens during long press.
Any ideas how I could solve this
(I'm on touchnooter and ADW)
The absence of information on that problem seems to indicate that I overlooked something important but what....

Maybe look for a keyboard who has paste capabilities messageEase on my phone - its somewhat strange and you need to learn it but it has a key for paste, maybe you find other
and for copy ctrl+c
Edit
Look in market - there are many apps which will help you with copy and paste
try this one

Thanks a lot, sorry for the late feedback I was traveling.
I still don't really understand why the familiar long touch copy long touch paste we're all familiar with on android devices isn't around
I guess I just don't know enough about android 2.1
anyway I found another keyboard with copy and paste keys
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh
It's customizable so in the end mine looks like the stock keyboard (square white keys) if you drag the del key to the left a new keyboard appears with copy and paste options.
(and I think you can get it to swype aswell, but I chose to strip it of the suggestion bar and number bar and just have a plain old touch keyboard)
I use coolreader wich allows me to copy text then copy it to a notepad app using my keyboard, works like a charm.
