[Q] AutoLaunch App - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
I have an issue where I need to launch an app on device startup on a windows mobile embedded device (6.5) but sporadically the app launches without focus leaving the today screen on view.
I need a small app that will get around this, either by launching the app on a timer or forcing the app to have focus, does anybody know of such an app?
My only alternative at this point is a today screen launcher to get around it.
My preference is the end user would never see the today screen, but for this pilot of the devices I cannot kiosk the device as there will be none technical staff on the remote site using them, and we will need to talk them through additional configuration over the phone and I'd prefer to have access to the device whilst we transition from pilot to production.
Thanks
GD

Only some lines coded in "MortScript" are necessary to accomplish this. Search this thread for a scheduler/launcher written in "MortScript" ...

htc hd2/diamond?

just looked on vodafione and they have a sports app i want but in there device list they only have the diamond...will the app meant for that phone work on the leo?
cheers.
If it's a WM app it should work without problem but probably it won't fill the whole screen. Also if the app requires buttons it might not be fully functional.

App Hider via Dialer App

Good Morning,
I am after a certain type of app but I am struggling to find something that suits my needs and I was wondering if anyone here can point me to a good app.
I am looking for something where I can hide an app from my App Tray and launch it via the phone dialer by typing a certain code.
So to recap I do not want anyone using my phone to be able to see this app. I don't want and password protection or fake error message I want it completly hidden and only available through the dialer.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Max
Try Wave Launcher.... that might be what your after?
Thanks for the reply but thats not what I am after. That is just a fancy launcher where as I want to completly hide an app and only be able to launch it through the dialer.
anyone else have any ideas?
The only app i've heard of doing anything like this is Shady SMS, but that just allows you hide certain contacts conversations. I've never seen anything else similar..

Try Hide It Pro it give you the ability to hide pics, videos, and apps. I believe this is exactly what you are looking for. It installs as a cute little app called "Audio Manager" which you can configure to actually function properly. There is a secret "button" press to get you to a keypad for a passcode. Enter your passcode and your in.

This package looks perfect but its refusing to list my installed applications :-(
I once had an app like this, but can't find it now.
The only app that I've encountered that can do this is Lockdown Pro but it can only hide itself. I hope someone can make an app like this or maybe I'll try it myself when I graduate.

Gampad default app

Hello in pretty new to android in general but I know how to do a bit of tinkering especially on ios and I was wondering if there is a way to change what app opens(could be something really obvious as I Sao in new to android) for example when uses out the game pad I want the playstation pocket app to open.
Cheers tony
So no one knows?
So no one can tell me if it is even possible or not, please just asking for an answer
The XPERIA Play launcher app opens up based on a setting in the app that detects the controller slide out. If the PS Pocket app has that option press the menu button and see if its there. Otherwise theres nothing in the OS that tells it to do this so you're SOL.

App you like to see on market

is there any particular type of app people like to see on the market but it's not really available? rather it maybe functions, features or appearance, looking to start a new project but really don't know what to make
Flipboard. .
How about an app that controls the camera flash. Similar to the torch. But,
Instead of On or Off. Maybe try to implement a slider to control the brightness. So you can adjust it to a comfortable level to read a book, maybe add a adjustable timer, i.e. 60 mins then 3 flashes and a fade to off.
I would happily pay £1.99 for an app that did that.
LaDiDa

checking out flipboard.
I though you can do that with the torch that they use in cyanogen, but I look in to it anyway.
LaDiDa seems like an interesting app, need to see if I can track down the source code of it.

The CyanogenMod torch has On/Off/HighBrightness & Flash. There is no slider to control the brightness.
Action Movie FX as soon as possible..

The stock flashlight app by htc has three levels of brightness(low/mid/high). Maybe it may suit you usage.
Torrent Downloader remote control app
So I can control my torrent handler installed on my PC at home through my phone..

That already exists if you use uTorrent on your PC (look in the Market for "uTorrent Remote" ).

[Q] Using one app as a service to other apps

I have been combing the developer.android site for a specific way to implement an app i'm trying to flesh out. The answer to this question will hopefully point me in the right direction.
I am trying to design an app that is basically a slave to whatever messaging apk the user wishes to download. Example: Handcent lets you use it's ringtone picker for almost every app that has notifications, even though it is a separate app for messaging in and of itself. What is the terminology for how this was coded for Android? I want to do something similar but i have no idea of where to look to find making my app the service for the function on the device
