Battery Status themes and theme questions

Ikarus suggested we start a new thread with our customized themes and questions on theming, so I thought I would post my current to start it off.
Theme includes the segoe ui font. Ikarus said he would assist in this thread as time permits for him, otherwise anyone with BS experience can jump in and assist anyone with problems.
If you don't know what the excellent Battery Status is, check out here
Here is the online-manual for customization, which is linked in the first post of BS-Thread too.

Yet another clock theme
Here's a clean and simple theme i made for my wizard. Not all meters can be shown, since i made icons for only the ones i use (no operator info, no AM/PM indicator for 12h clock, maybe something else is not implemented).
Includes icons for tray launcher - BT on/off, WiFi on/off, Phone on/off, rotate screen, disable screen and lock device.
With Ecqlipse 2 icons used for Touch commander and ppcProfiles Pro with modified tray icons and profile selection menu to match the overall look (done with ResourceHacker since ppcProfiles has no skinning option) it makes quite a good impression
Works best with HTC Touch Today screen theme, or other dark backgrounds.
Enjoy.

Nice job Mr_Deimos, looks great with a dark theme.

great job thank you

All the themes will be moved here this weekend
maybe interesting for theme-makers..
Eyecandy for KDE
Many sets of images in png-format.. maybe useful for making themes

Just started using this program and love it.
I actually got rid of Ilauncher since all I was using it for was the meters.
Keep those themes coming

Hi ikarus,
- How do you add the class="start_app" in the class "date" or the class "cpu_utilization" ?
I tried <Item class="date" ontap="\Windows\Calendar.exe" > but it doesn't work.
- How do change the icons for class="battery_ac_icons" ?
- Sorry to ask : where can I find the manual with all the tags ?
- Something strange : if the view with the CPU load is not active, the CPU load is not displayed in the taskbar. If the view is active and BS is minimized, the CPU load is still displayed in the taskbar.
- I believe the skin setup should override the option setup : if the option is set, the CPU frequency is bold, even with :
<Item class="cpuspeed" >
<label fontfamily="Tahoma" fontsize="12" bold="0" />
</Item>
- When trying to display the CPU utilization below the icon, using :
<Item class="cpu_utilization" ontap="CtlPnl" index="4" subindex="2" >
<image src="CPU.png" width="12" top="2" left="10" />
<label fontfamily="Tahoma" fontsize="12" width="40" top="7" left="-25" align="center" />
</Item>
Only the label area below the icon is refreshed (12 pixels) instead of the whole area (40 pixels).
Thanks again for this great apps.
Kind regards,
Herunim

Hello Herunim,

- Sorry to ask : where can I find the manual with all the tags ?
Click to expand...

online-manual for customization, which is linked in the first post of BS-Thread too.
Shall i make the fontsize in first thread bigger?
Basically i don't like to emphasize so much, because it irritates more then..

you have to use ontap="StartApp", which specifies the action to do.
btw. the class="start_app" implicitly makes use of ontap="StartApp"..
After that you can supply the parameters for that action (see manual) e.g. path="\Windows\Calendar.exe"
Don't you've seen the example for AppLauncher at first page of BS-Thread?
Anything you need is used in the example...
btw. i've just moved it to first page of this thread.

there are a lot of methods, e.g.
- replace the bitmaps for that icons (copy the resources from default-folder to your desktop-computer and check which ones to change)
- use two <image src="..."... > for the images, where you can use png/bmp/gif/jpeg..

It's by design. The taskbar-indicator is primarily for showing the cpuspeed.
If no cpu-utilization reading is on today-screen (and cpuscaler is disabled), then there's no need to hold the resources for cpu-utilization. Any resources for cpu-utilization will then be released.

Hi ikarus,
The download link for "HTC Home style by tzm0510" in post #10 seems to be incorrect?

Hi ikarus,
Thank you for your answers.
I'm still having troubles with the battery icons:
<Item type="icon" class="battery_ac_icons" ontap="CtlPnl" index="3" >
<image src="OnBatt.png" />
<image src="OnAC.png" />
</Item>
doesn't work.
It seems that path with accents are not correctly handled. Using:
<Item class="cpu_utilization" ontap="StartApp" path="\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Task Manager.lnk" >
<image src="CPU.png" width="20" top="2" left="10" />
<label fontfamily="Tahoma" fontsize="12" width="20" top="7" left="-20" align="center" />
</Item>
makes BS revert to the default theme.
Kind regards,
Herunim

Hi,
I had this code in my xml. The date and clock is showing fine but the alarmon image is always showing even when alarm is set to off.
Anybody knows how to make it work?
Thannks!
Edit : Another question...what does absolute parameter do?
Code:
<Row>
<View height="14">
<Item class="date" ontap="CtlPnl" index="16">
<label text="dddd, dd MMMM yyyy" bold="1" fontsize="12" left="-28" top="2" align="center" />
</Item>
</View>
</Row>
<Row seperator="1" >
<View height="50">
<Item class="clock" ontap="CtlPnl" index="16">
<label text="HH':'mm':'ss" fontsize="40" left="-28" top="2" width="240" align="center" fontfamily="Alien Encounters" />
</Item>
<Item class="clock_alarm" ontap="CtlPnl" index="16" >
<image top="6" left="-22" />
</Item>
</View>
</Row>

From what i've seen, the alarm icon works only if you use png image-based clock. I think it was mentioned somewhere that it won't work with a label class based clock.
Try getting digit files (0.png - 9.png, separator.png and empty.png") and clock code from any of the themes using png clocks to confirm if it is in fact the case.

it's mentioned in the online-manual, but i don't know whether it works with accents.
You must load the xml on your PC with wordpad and "save as" "Unicode-document".
It's defaulted to ansi-encoding which is good for english. Even german users should do it btw...

This will NOT WORK yet.
alarmon is part of digit_clock-component and does not work without the digit_clock. I don't know when, but maybe next year i have more time to make it work..

Hey Ikarus,
Is there anyway that using "ontap" for a row, we can toggle the view of the next row (right now, for next row action, I can only find "ToggleNextRow" which enables or hides the next row. I was looking for something similar to ToggleView, i.e., ToggleNextRowView)..

build 0264 - 22/12/2007:
- fixed: png allowed for battery_ac_icons
- removed: version-attribute from Window, version < 1 not supported any longer
- added: <Window ... custombg="0" > for using default-system-theme-background
- added: for RegistryTracker,
<image src="filename%d.png"...> respectively <image src="filename%s.ext"...>
for using images depending on registry-value
if a value is not covered by an image, then filename-1.ext (dword) or filename_empty.ext (string) will be used
- added: Mask to apply to registry-value (dword)
e.g. <label text="%d" mask="0xFF" >...

hello shantzg, there's no way yet. Do you mean to switch the view or open a certain view?

ikarus, i meant open a certain view. Actually, I thought that if we have this feature we can have a "full-fledged" app launcher with BS. In one row, we can have 3-4 items that work as "tabs", and next row contains launcher icons. So, whenever we click on a tab, it switches the view of the next row accordingly so we see the corresponding icons.

Ikarus said that i have to post my problem here...
Here it is:
Screen1 = my Today-Screen
Screen2 = view 2 of BS in my Today-screen
It takes the red marked Field in Screen4 to open the tasks. When I tap onto the Tasks ("7 aktive Aufgaben") it switches to View 1.
Is there something wrong?
And my Problem 2: the green marked Field (in Screen3 and Screen4) doesnt change anything... it should change the views, but it doesnt change...
Please help me. Thanks you!

dock program for ppc

Hi all,
They developed a very cool application on iphone, it is like a dock in Mac:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1698
(i like the v2.0 Dock sunburst of Nate True)
I wonder if any body developed similar thing for ppc ? What is the hard thing to make it for ppc since i dig around with google but can find nothing like that for windows mobile !! Or is there any way you can run a iphone-program on ppc ?
It is also cool if we have an software that could do individual function from Throttle Launcher: it will launch a bottom bar and you can slide and the icon touching is appeared above (attached image). It will be very cool when you launch it from a main icon button in itask

the Samsung Windows Mobile Device (i don't have the name here) has something similar, but there as Todayscreen.

I think an application like this could be made, or may be it is already exist somewhere ?

Homescreen plusplus will let you set up a sliding bottom bar that can be turned on/off with a tap on the screen. Then you can set the icon select to enlarge, reduce, or change position of selected icon. Not exactly what your looking for, but similiar.

Hi, thanks alot ! I look at some post about this and it seems to be the right application. However i didn't know how to set up and get the bottom slide bar with icon effect like you said, yet.
And how to call this slide bar to appear ? If only one way is tap on the today screen then it is quite hard to call this slide bar from itask. Because, itask run on the Flashtlite layer.. It can only call a program via shortcut as i use to do...
Need some more suggestions from you please !!!

The unreleased Velocity 103 has an interesting pop up dock as demonstrated by Dieter Bohn in his WMExperts unboxing and first look video.
http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/velocity_103_111_83_301_vota_o.html

I saw the video but what program you recommending ? I still don't know how to use battery status for having the slide docking

This is what I'm using to create a sliding dock on homescreen plusplus ui. When icon is selected it grows by 10 pixels(this is controlled by selmode and itemselect). Selmode controls size it changes, and itemselect controls whether it grows(+ number), shrinks(- number) or stays same(0). I have 5 different pages for today screen, and it shows like this on all 5. This code here is only the slide row i'm using, not the complete xml.
Code:
<Row name="Slide">
<image src="Dock.png"/>
<View itemselect="1" slide="1" selmode="10" height="42" adaptwidth="0" absolute="0">

<Item class="start_app" path="\Storage Card\Program Files\Live Search\LiveSearch.exe">
<image left="13" top="4" width="35" height="35"/>
</Item>
</View>
</Row>

Could you send me a link where i could know how to configure this xml file ? A brief description like this is very hard for beginner for me to follow Many thanks !

Thanks showako for your suggestion but finally i think this is not really what i am talking about. Because this is the dock that will stick on today screen not a dock program that you can call and exit separately whenever you want.
Since i am going to find an individual program for this purpose and integrate it with itask and this one doesn't suite ...
Is there any other program that people could think of ? Why they can make such the thing for iphone but not windows mobile?

any new hopes on this?
if anyone shows up with a velocity device? is it extractable (the dock i mean)..
it looks like a good idea/app..

Battery Status - XML theme help!!

hey guys,
I'm using home-screen+ (formally battery status) on my elf so I can create a new theme, but I'm having some issues.....
I've written the code below but I need some help with getting it right. Basically, as you can see I have a basic front screen that when tapped changes to the main apps and monitors screen.
The problem is that even though I have the icons on the apps screen where I'd like them, I can't get the ontap and onhold attributes to work correctly. If I tap the SMS icon for instance the view changes, instead of opening the SMS inbox like it should. Strangely if I tap at the bottom of the screen (directly below the SMS icon) the inbox opens ok.
I'm guessing that the height and width attributes are messed up and are causing this strange behaviour but I have no idea why!!!
Since I'm very new at this, could someone with more experience than me have a look through my code and see where I've gone wrong before I continue filling the rest of the apps screen??
Thanking you all!

[Answer] Locale Language Changing :)

Your Local Language setting for the phone depends on the CID you have. Changing the CID to super-CID will cause you to use a random english or set of language locale on the phone.
i have found out by switching it from CID__001 to CID__044 and CID-111111 etc
i dont know how to get all the language to display on screen but i do know how to get your region language on it
depending on country there is a list of language enabled by default. HTC ****ed with the settings with no god damn reason.
if you have CID__001 and wish to use chinese as local language you will have to use switchlocal or a local switching software. but not anymore
if you want asian language, or chinese thai etc, just change CID to CID__044 and flash with the asian rom. if you want language in en_UK just flash with CID__001.
IF you flashed a rom without the corresponding CID, the language set would be set to something random.
if you want japanese or korean i guess you will have to flash over to jp or kr roms
until someone comes up with an idea to remove the customization from HTC thats the solution i got ;x i tried to remove /system/customize/resource/CID and a few files from /system/customize/resource/ but didnt work.. didnt do factory reset tho.. sec ima go try and see lol.

Not exactly true. Super-CID changes nothing on the location/language settings on my DHD. I still have to use location setting software to set the combination I want.

cid_map.xml links your CID number to the specific region file located at CID folder.
where HTC__001 gives you en_GB and few others
and HTC__044 gives you the default profile
then HTC__J15 gives you arabic english etc
conclusion is to remove info from cid_map.xml, change it to
<map version="1.00">
<profiles>
</profiles>
</map>
this would cause it to pick the default.xml in CID folder giving you the choices to change languages.
where <item name="total_list" <item type= gives you the coresponding language. arranged by total list.
input method under function name "IME_sip_set" gives you the choice for chinese character input via total_list which will be type as Handwriting;ZuhYin;CangJie;PinYin;Stroke
wheere bootconfiguration would specify which filename would be the bootup logo or shutdown logo.

if you decide to have all the bloody language you can get then you will have to list them all on that default.xml in /system/customize/CID/ and change the /system/customize/cid_map.xml
after it is set remember to wipe cache and try again. if fail do factory reset.
just changed abit looking for other language and also finding the other language input methods to add to the list

Hello, after some search in the internet, i found a small app called "MoreLocale2", and as name says, you can easily change the language of your phone. I download it, trie it, and it works. My Desire HD didnt have my language (portuguese), and this app i can have it...

[Q] Default contacts save location (DECOMPILED XML)

I'm sick of the default save location "in phone" as it doesn't sync with google (learned it the hard way and i always forget to choose google when i'm adding new ones) so today i decompiled the LGContacts.apk with apk studio and under /res/xml/ i found contacts_settings.xml with code looking like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<profiles>
<profile>
<siminfo operator="TMO" country="AT" mcc="232" mnc="03" />
<item name="NEW_CONTACT_DEFAULT">In Phone Memory</item>
<item name="DEFAULT_DISPLAY">Phone and USIM</item>
</profile>
<profile>
<siminfo operator="TRA" country="AT" mcc="232" mnc="07" />
<item name="NEW_CONTACT_DEFAULT">In Phone Memory</item>

</profile>
<profile>

</profile>
First of all i should say that i'm new to this stuff...
Thats just a small part of it, but it seems like depending on which country and carrier you have lg decides where you should save your contacts by default, and all of them are set to phone memory.... If i'm right this is really stupid!! Why would they override something like that??
Now i guess i could just replace "in phone memory" with google account but i dont know the right term for it. I tried google, google accoumt and gmail as long shots but it didn't work. Can someone help me please?? Of course it's under /system/priv-apps/LGContacts.apk
Thanks

No one?
