PHM TrayLaunch...

...works well on wizard. after loading PHM Powertoys so i could extract and isolate the "TrayLnch" applet, i removed the Powertoys suite and placed TrayLnch in the Programs File folder in subfolder PHM Tools where my PHM RegEdit resides too. placed a shortcut in Windows/Start Menu/Programs and started to use it with no issues.

all it takes to add a today link is to type in the program's target file path...
i like how light this solution is compared to the other bundled apps that include today screen access to applications through multi-function plug-ins. running this with water's "smatskey" is a nice combo. i don't use nico's reg-hack-app since it bugs running on my rom. i don't mind modding the registry directly and do apply the speed tweaks and few minor function items.
one thing i need help with is this... i want to get to "running programs" via the today tray. can someone please tell me the command line to try and get a link to Start>Settings>System>Memory>Running Programs???

Create a shortcut with this content:
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
That should launch the main control panel applet, with the Task Manager (4), and 2nd tab (2). Works here, but please do let me know if it doesn't wwork for you.

no luck first attempt. please provide complete command line format. thanks in advance!

that is the entire command line format ;>
I've attached the file, zipped up. If it doesn't work, try using...
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,3
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4
etc. and see which number pops up the task manager for you. Then just add that ",2" at the end to make it go to the correct tab.

loaded code and link to it via folder address. works a peach. thanks. i'm noob and was trying to write code as "target" command line in traylnch.
now... how can i change the .lnk file's icon?

you need to add the file you want to load an icon from, and the icon resource you want to use.
You could use the "Device Information" icon, for example (the task manager one itself isn't too clear):
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2?deviceinfo.exe,-103
If you want to look for other icons, try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9172
Execute on your device, find a DLL or EXE, and click "Next Icon". Note that on my device it's not finding any icons in "ceshell.dll", even though there's a lot of icons in there, so your mileage may vary.

BIG THANK YOU
...here i used vijay555's taskman icon>>>>>

do you have "phm traylnch" on your device? if not, i can email it to you or upload it to xda's ftp tomorrow. just pm me with an email address if you want it sent. it is part of phm powertoys. if you google phm powertoys and load it, you might want to pull out the tray launch exe and only keep it on device. i got rid of the whole powertoy suite since i only care for the tray launch tool and regedit of course.

Hi ALL
Just want to say Thanks, that is so useful for me, Thank you
one more thought, is it possible to add a shortcut for the "Device Lock" then add it to the tary ? leave more space for Today, since I need to lock the screen while playing music in the pocket, Thanks a lot

only if somebody knows how to call the correct procedure in shutil.dll %)
otherwise, it might be worth looking into some of the other device locking utilities out there?

Doesn't work for me. I get error loading the shortcut or finding the target file.
I created a shortcut with the 24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2 code in it and placed it in the windows/startmene/programs folder. I then I installed TrayLaunch and added the shortcut to the list. What have I done wrong?
I tried the ZeBoxx's suggestion of using 24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1 , etc but that doesn't pop anythting up either.
ZeBoxx, your posted taskman.lnk file didn't have the 24# in the target, yet you list it in the commands in your post. Should I have the 24# in the shortcut target too? Actually it doesn't work for me with or without. :?

unless somebody replaced the attached zip, the zip most definitely has a file called "TaskMan.lnk" in it, 25 bytes in size, with the following content:
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
Please re-check the download, make sure your unzipping app isn't mucking things up, etc.
Yes, you should have "24#" or "32#" or whatever at the front.
And yes, it should work. Try the shortcut in plain ol' File Explorer or Total Commander CE or something first - just to rule out any problems you may have with getting it listed in PHM Traylaunch. If it doesn't work in File Explorer / whatever, then check if "ctlpnl.exe" and "cplmain.cpl" exist in your "\Windows\" folder. If they don't, then there's your problem
If they do, then...
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1
should open the Password applet
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2
should open the Owner Information applet
Code:
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,3
should open the Power applet
etc.

Where do I have to put this content? How to create shortcuts ??

in a shortcut (.lnk) file. One with that content is attached to one of my posts further up this thread

ZeBoxx,
Is there documentation anyplace on creating those shortcuts? I'm trying to create one for the Network Cards shortcut under Connections, so when I'm using 802.11 I can see all the available wireless networks.
But instead of just asking you to tell me what it is (which is greatly appreciated) I'd like to know how to do this myself.
Or is this just so painfully obvious and I'm thick? I've been digging around the windows folder on my device as well as searching the threads here and can't find much other than "here's the command for that shortcut" stuff.
thanks!
-Mc

could U tell me how to edit that shortcut and attach new content?

The Best Way to compare Old & New Registry?

Suggestions welcome!
Have you ever wonder, especially after you installed a new software, what are the registry that are modified?
1. Before install, study CAB file?
2. After install, check manually?
3. Have both Old and New Registry copied and use PC's FC.EXE?
4. Use text editor to open both Old & New Registry files in PC at window maximise mode, use ALT TAB and capture the difference with the Best Camera (your eyes) and Best Image processor (your brain)?
Here is my stupid way of doing it.
5. Have both Old and New Registry copied and use PC's M$ Winword, Document Compare feature.

Hey, Thanks.
Learn a new thing again today.

I also recommend, as far as desktop-based tools are concerned, windiff.
I've even written a tutorial on using it: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=215073

Perl
This perl script will diff two textual registry files and show the differences.
(hmm no .pl allowed, rename from .txt)

Can't we just open the cab and see what it will add to the registry?

Lol, despite responding to this thread I've never read it
Yes, 100% agree with cellneuron. Decompile the cab, or ideally use WinCE Cab Manager to see what registry changes it will make.
V

hehe. What? Haven't you got time to read all of the threads each day?
anyway, yup, can't argue with that technique either. it never hurts to have too many tools at your disposal though.
Personally, I just found that reading the cab file registry entry format wasn't as clear as simply extracting the keys in .reg format. but that's just my preference.

The problem I've found with just looking in the cab is that sometime the exe files make registry and file changes too. So my vote goes with ssnap and idiff.

In the past I used regdiff and registry workshop.

but as the geeks point out, if I was making an installer I would probably hard code some of the registry entries, so won't be reflected in Cab manager etc. So use a standard registry dump and windiff them, or use ssnap.

thanks i'll try it.

Hi!
I tried it and it works so far, but.. Is there any command line parameter to open some file?
I wanted to associate this notepad with .txt files and used standard command line: ShNotePad.exe %1, but notepad doesn't open the file.
Thank you!

Just to let you know that this works on my 2003SE device with .NET installed.
A request - Can you make it so it will open files other than .txt ? I'd like to use it to edit mortscript files on my device which end .mscr. Is this possible or is it a limitation of the operating system?

I concur with efrost here. When I associate txtfile with ShNotePad and then click on a .txt file, it simply opens the empty editor. It does not parse the parameter. I currently use Tillanosoft's Notepad. ShNotePad, albeit a tiny bit slower at loading, would be a massive improvement if it could be used as the default editor for txt files. Please Mohammad!

Yepeee!
Since I have your ear (if you don't ask you don't get), may I suggest one FINAL item for your wish list? It is to do with how most people use computers and, specially, PDAs: you are writing something using ShNotePad, the phone rings, you answer, you enter an appointment, do something else, forget about your notes, later you reboot your PDA, your notes are gone!
Would it be feasible to have ShNotePad to save all open tabs to temporary files as soon as the session goes to the background? That way when you come back to it all tabs will still be there, regardless of the PDA rebooting or not. I seem to remember the Windows text editor Notetab does something similar.
The issue of wanting to go back to a previous version could be resolved by saving any files with changes to a temporary file. When there is an explicit instruction to save, then the temporary overwrites the previous version. But until then you could have an option to "revert to previous".
I personally believe that with those changes this should be the editor of choice for all ROMers in these forums -don't forget to place the "donate" button to compensate for your sleepless nights

What is this note program good for?
Salam,
I can use the LingvoSoft Farsi keyboard and the Notepad program that comes with Pocket PC to do the same (type Farsi and English). I don’t understand the purpose of your program.
Merci,

I don't speak Persian, so I cannot comment on its merits for that. The purpose of this program, just like the many other third party notepad applications to be found, is to edit and save plain text files, which the Pocket PC built in Notepad application does not. A specific advantage of ShNotePad is the ability of opening multiple files simultaneously with tabs. If you never need to do any of the above, then clearly you don't need this program

Very nice this aplication, is possible to traslate to spanish (menus)??

thanks for the update.

hey bro, nice app. hope 2 C your great jobs soon bring em on bro

Thank you very much!
It looks very interesting, but I had a couple problems with it on HTC TyTN II:
1. I associated *.txt files with the ShNotePad.exe program, and clicked on a test.txt file. Windows gave an error that the program could not be found.
2. From inside the program, I cannot navigate through folder beyond the first level hierarchy. That is, I can look at files in the top folders on the phone, but not in any subfolders.
3. I cannot open any files that do not have .txt extension.
If you get a chance, perhaps you can take a look.
Thank you!
Edit: Unicode files open correctly.

Looks good. And tried it.
1. It can view txt as well as unicode files very well. But, It cannot edit the unicode files. If I make any modification/addition in a unicode file and save that, it get converted into ansi file structure instead of unicode...
2. The font selection does not seem to be working.
3. When we close the shnotepad using"x" button, it does not ask for saving the information.
May be the above info help you...

other options...
There is another free Unicode/UTF8 Note program called UKNote - v0.0.0.7 ( http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1283 ), however I would go with FarsiNote, which is a true Unicode Notepad program for ~$10USD and works on WM5/6. You can copy and paste Farsi text from web pages into this FarsiNote and it would correctly assemble and connect Farsi characters together under Pocket PC ( http://shahabonline.com/FarsiPack/FarsiNote.htm ).

[TOOL] "The Unbelievably Awesome Package Sorter!" (OEM To EXT) v1.1.5

I believe this screenshot is REALLY, REALLY self-explanatory (also notice how the words in package names are also splitted, like AdobePDF becoming "Adobe PDF" and aGPSConfirmation becoming "aGPS Confirmation", it's so awesome that it detects all the words!). This is also the first tool to do all the necessary initflashfiles.dat and config.txt files splitting.
{
"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"
}
How to use:
Put the EXE where the OEM folder is and then double-click on it, or drag&drop the OEM folder on the EXE (the EXT folder will be created where the EXE is located unless you specify another destination using command line parameters).
Command line syntax (All parameters are optional, including the paths that will default to "OEM" and "EXT" if missing):
Syntax: "The Awesome Package Sorter.exe" [/UseUnderscores] [/Quiet|/Q] [/WriteIndex] [/StripComments] [/OriginalName] [/InternalName] [/NoSplitting] [/SkipNeutralPackages] [/DeleteDSMFiles] [OEMFolderPath] [EXTFolderPath]
/UseUnderscores to have the tool rename all the packages with underscores instead of spaces at the end of the conversion
/Quiet or /Q to enable the quiet mode where only error messages will be shown
/WriteIndex to write a packages index in the EXT folder
/StripComments to save the initflashfiles.dat in OEM_Lang_XXXX with all the comment lines removed
/OriginalName uses the original package name with only the device part removed (like PACKAGE_ManilaCore_1_0_0_0)
/InternalName is like /OriginalName but without the "PACKAGE_" prefix and uses space instead of underscore to separate the name from the version (you can use /UseUnderscores to suppress this)
/NoSplitting turns the file initflashfiles.dat/config.txt splitting off
/SkipNeutralPackages leaves all the packages that don't start with PACKAGE_ in the OEM folder
/DeleteDSMFiles deletes all the DSM files from the packages
Note:
It doesn't have an user-interface, it only shows messageboxes however it will tell you when it starts and when it ends or if there is any issue. It's based on the osKitchen guaranteed file operations engine so nothing will break if the folders are locked.
This and more wonderful automatic package importing functions are now available in the latest osKitchen!

Interesting tool...will give a spin...thx...

Nice to know this thanks AirXtreme hope many ppl can see this.... will u post it in the repository kitchen tool by souchef? please
Here is the link... its a pleasure that you all are making this kind of tools and even better including them into the OSkitchen
Keep it up

Thanks Airxtreme, it´s a super fast tool.
Cheers.

Great tools....thank u doctor airxtreme

Thanks for this Bro

How about a tool like this that does OEM to OEM for chefs that use OEM format. What I mean is to combine the lang pack with the common pack and rename the package with the version info (like with EXT packages), but still retain OEM format?

I notice the 0409 folder does not have a "files" subfolder and the rgu stays a rgu file, but in one of my importing an official ROM to oskitchen created the files subfolder. Also, my kitchen run has the rgu converted to an app.reg in 0409 and it seems to work.
Are you in the process of changing the formats?

No, I forgot to apply the ext formatting to subfolders. I uploaded a fixed version in the first post.

New beta3 that fixes an issue where empty LCID folders were left behind. Thanks to OndraSter for reporting the issue!

Thanks for the awesome tool airxtreme....you sure make cooking fun ...

Great tool! Is there anyway to have it use _ instead of spaces? I use some .cmd files and the spaces break it.

You can enclose the directory names in batch/cmd files with double quotes to avoid issues with spaces in the file/directory names.

Not I can't, because many of my scripts use for loops with %%a where I do some parsing. It's also cleaner naming in my opinion with _'s instead of spaces in my folder.

I added a new version with the /UseUnderscores command line switch

Awesome! Btw, I'm loving the new osKitchen. With the new dump tool, it seems to build better than EVK did (plus, I don't have to worry about java crapping out on me!).

Sorry for another request, but would it be possible for it only to show dialog boxes if there were errors?

Done. I released a new version with the /Quiet (or /Q) switch.

The Unbelieveably Awesome Package Sorter just got more unbelievably awesome!

Hey, I've been thinking about this for a while, but I don't know the easiest way to do it. Would it be possible, with a given initflashfiles.dat, that it could create app.dat's for you in the EXT folders? All it would have to do is parse the initflashfile lines, find the file, and locate the file in whatever EXT package it was in.
It's not really a request (because it would be a GIANT pain in the ass), but if you wanted another cool tool to work on, it may have it's own interesting challanges... Just a thought.
