You must set time format is "HH:mm:ss tt" or "hh:mm:ss tt", if you went to options, you must soft-reset your device

Hi!
Where did you get the device lock utility on your today screen? I have only seen this utility on WM5.
PK

Thanks, very nice!
I can now stop using Spb Plus totally!
BTW, I find the Exceptions input method in options rather difficult to use, i.e. we need to know the full path of the executable file to put it in. Hope you can improve on that.
Thanks once again.

I'm sory for full guide.
1. Add Program to Exception list:
- When in running program, show popup-menu (by tap and hold on [x] botton or tap on popup button) then tap on Add to Exceptions button (5th button).
- Or, in option, choice Exceptions tab. Fill file name (case-sensitive and include ext.) and tap on [Add]
2. Add Program to Favorites list:
- When in running program, show popup-menu (by tap and hold on [x] botton or tap on popup button) then tap on Add to Favorites button (6th button).
- Or, in option, choice Favorites tab. Fill file name, full path and tap on [Add]
3. Change Time format.
When you go to Option, time format is changed to "hh:mm:ss tt". If you want to manual change, plz go to Setting->System->Regional Settings->Time.

Even I have change the time format as recommended but still I lost the volume, Signal strength icon. Pls help

Thank you very much, cool program!
very nice!
2 Ideas for Improving the task manager:
I don't like to use Clear type on General on my PPC, but it would help very much If you could activate it only for this plugin in the settings.
It would help the QVGA users.
It would be cool to minimze the popup with a tap on the triangle.

WOW
Works great! Keep up the great work. One question. How can I change the date format in the bar from 5/12 to 12/5. I guess us americans like it backwards for the rest of the world.

Thanks for the instructions.
What is the difference between 1st and 2nd button?
On the top bar, what is the 2nd, 3rd and 4th button for?

One feedback which I forgot to add in my earlier post, when I have a program open, e.g. sktools, within sktools are individual utilities. If I press the "x" button, it not only closes the individual utility but closes sktools as well. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

pBar can not close a word document. I tap "ok" and nothing happens.

Great app you have!
One suggestion is to allow the user to attach pBar to a hardware button, makes things easier!
Thx!

newb question
i'm getting an error message during startup stating "the file 'pBar' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found". I have the .exe file in /windows and have the launch on startup box checked. Any Ideas?

Sorry guys I believe i figured i out, started using from storage card then moved the .exe it's ok now.

Been soft resetting and using for many days already, no such problem until last night, I did a soft reset and left the O2 IIs aside and went to sleep. When I woke up this morning and on the O2, it had the above error message. A soft reset again did not have the problem again. Strange!

[25 March 2009]iLaunch 0.3 beta release

Well, here it is, the first beta of the first iApps release!
You can read about the iApps open source dev team here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486618
iLaunch is a finger-friendly applications launcher for Windows Mobile PocketPC phones. It's easily skinnable, intuitive, and could be used instead of the standard Windows Mobile Start Menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It is based on iContact (supbro version) source code, available here:
http://supware.net/iContact
iContact is used as a "scrollable framework" for applications that will have the same look and feel: the same iContact original skins will be included by default: "default" and "iPhone". The "default" skin will have a diamond-like look and feel, and the "iphone" skin will be designed to be as similar to the iPhone look as possible.
iLaunch settings can be found in the Windows Mobile system settings menu. A soft reboot may be required after installing iLaunch before the iLaunch settings icon will appear in the menu.
iLaunch is built around this idea:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428064
So iLaunch gives you 5 tabs that can be linked to 5 folders under "Windows\Start Menu"
By default the folders (but you can rename or change them) are:
- Office Mobile
- Multimedia
- Programs
- Connections
- System Tools
Each tab shows a scrollable list of links that you can use to start applications.
You can also use StartButton to replace the default Start Menu with iLaunch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486712
iLaunch tabs can be customized with the language file located in "program files\iLaunch".
By default you find here "english.lng", which can be used a base for transaltions
There is a "+" button in the top right side, near the title of the tab:
as for now it does nothing, but the code to make it work will be ready for the next beta!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick Start
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iLaunch is based on tabs: each tab gets its linked programs from a folder on the device.
Please remember also that this is the first beta, so there are some things that will be better in the next releases
As for now:
1. You have to create up to 5 folders in your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
A quick way to do this is using the cab linked above, but you can do it as you want.
2. You have to copy links to programs/applications inside the created folders.
A very handy tool to do this is Total Commander, but you can do it with any file manager.
3. Then you need to "update" the tab: if you click on the tab icon (while the tab is already selected) the
list of links is updated.
4. It is possible to change the name of the folders editing the english.lng file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The source code is available through Svn at GoogleCode:
http://code.google.com/p/ilaunch2/
iLaunch is a beta release, so please tell us about bugs/requests/etc!
Did we forget anything? Oh, yes... where is the Paypal button?
It's hard to believe, but the Paypal link is not a required feature of Xda!
So, if you really want to thank us for our work, go here instead:

They will use your money way much better than we ever could...

Installed it and hooked it right away to my start button. Only files in the "multimedia" category show up. Other categories are all empty. Do i have to add them manually?
/edit: Oops... forgot to mention that it looks great and runs smoothly.

You have to create the folders, like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428064
And then add your links to the folders.

wow! it's very fast! great project! good work!

Nice app! Working smoothly on a WVGA Toshiba G900. I noticed just one bug so far (and probably a known one) - the program doesn't adapt to landscape. It's just displayed in a 640x640 square after rotating screen (besides that, works fine). After going back to portrait, it looks as it should.
As for feature requests/proposals:
* some basic task manager would be nice to have (browsing, switching and closing tasks - like QuickMenu)
* command line parameters to launch the program with different tabs open (especially the task manager tab, if implemented) should be useful
* this one might be a long shot but hey, who knows - maybe someone will like it? So, how about having one tab with nothing but a text field in it. As you type, a list of applications and applets from entire start menu containing the typed string in their name is displayed below the textfield. So typing "Wi" would display a list with "Wi-Fi" control panel applet, "Wireless manager" and "Windows media player". Typing in "Not" would cause "Notepad", "New Note" and "OneNote Mobile" to pop up. Something like a PC program Launchy. It shouldn't be much harder to implement than an alphabetical list of all apps in the start menu, but much easier to navigate. And easier still if the SIP popped up when you open this tab (preferably configurable behavior - some devices have a hardware keyboard after all).
Anyway, i hope this app grows into a real Start Menu, or even better - QuickMenu replacement

Thanks works perfect on my Touch Pro

I don't think this could work without a real full-size hardware keyboard, but we'll think about it!

I'm getting an issue on my Omnia where i have to spam any buttons on the multiple times before it registers.
It most defintely isn't lag as when i press it once and leave it for 5 mins it still doesn’t changes tabs, but spamming it like 3 times in a second changes to another tab.

Ok you know how at the very bottom, there's the bar with multiple icons, that leads to the applications, multimedia, office mobile etc tabs?
Those buttons for some weird reason only respond on my omnia with a minimum of two taps, that is i have to tap the same button twice or more in a second for it to respond and change to the said tab.
All the tabs except for the office mobile tabs are blank as well, so i doubt its trying to load the tab contents.

The folder creation cab is not necessary, it is just a quick way to create some folders in the right place!
But you have to create some folders (and then put some links inside them) which will be linked to iLaunch's tabs: you can do this in the way you prefer - personally I use Total Commander
For more details, see "Quick start" added to the first post.

You can use a Svn client like TortoiseSVN (free and opensource):

MIUI for Beginners​
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

Cannot find the link for NS4G!

The Leather Theme that came out does a great job of taking care of that issues. Otherwise you can turn on compatibility mode for that specific app and that helps.

MIUI for Beginners​
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

1.6.10 roms are out and up to download @ www.miui.us

thanks for organizing the post

Win10Tile - native, custom Windows 10 tiles with jump list and context menu

Update 19.08.16: New design and a lot of refactoring. You can search now! Tiles are now saved with a filename-specific name. This means that tiles for applications in a common folder can be created! Added solution to MS Office applications (see below).
Update 18.11.15: Separate images for small tiles supported (just don't select one if you want to use the same.) Deleting a custom tile is now possible (just click delete )
Update 16.11.15: Startmenu items are not listed recursively, i.e., also startmenu subfolders are supported.
Dear all,
since Th2, Windows 10 allows for custom tiles via a visualmanifest.xml again. I created a small application that allows you to create custom tiles for any item in your startmenu. As this is completely native, jump lists and context menus are fully working and no other services are needed.
The app is extremely simple. It lists all your (root) shortcuts of your startmenu. Simply select one item (application target is then the location where the shortcut points to) and select an image. Hit save and you are done. Pin the shortcut as usual to your startscreen. The image is copied to the application directory.
If you intend to create tiles for apps like calculator, please consider the excellent tutorial given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64055883&postcount=53
The app requires administrator privelegs to modify the creation time of the shortcut (otherwise the tile won't be refreshed).

Solution to MS Office applications:
It is not possible to create custom tiles for MS Office applications such as MS Word, Excel, etc. using this application. Somehow a custom tileimage in the corresponding visualelementsmanifest is ignored. However, it is easy to change the tile-images!
1) Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\LogoImages (For Office16, @razmth reports to look at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\LogoImages)
2) Replace the respective tileimages. You only need to replace the -100.png images for a medium tile! For example, simply change the WinWordLogo.scale-100.png with a custom MS Word medium tile.
3) Startmenu entry must be refreshed. Select the <NameOfMSOfficeApplication>.lnk in MyTile (it will point to something xlicons.exe). Click on refresh.
Note: The original visualelementsmanifest.xml must remain. If you change them via this app, the above workaround does not work anymore. Get them from some other office installation and copy them over. You can manually edit them (via, e.g., Notepadd++) to change the color or hide the name. Afterwards refresh (see 3).
Warn:
An existing visualelementsanifest.xml in the target application root will be overwritten. An existing *filename*-mytile.png in the target application root will be overwritten.

Nice find! I noticed that Chrome also had a larger icon in recent builds, and a different colour for the background, and sure it enough, it has a visual manifest file. So does each of the Office 2016 apps.

This app is awesome, it works really well. I wouldn't mind if this feature could be merged into BetterStartMenu or TileCreator

There is no need for a companion universal app with the new TH2 release, that's the whole point. This is the "right" way to do it, and there's no reason for tilecreator or betterstartmenu to exist.
Well, they have much better UIs, as this is the very first proof of concept. But all we're talking about here is creating a textfile and copying a PNG image to the executable's directory, so I expect UIs will come soon enough. Very cool!

I started one today, with image & colour pickers, because if I am going to convert all my tiles, I don't want to do it by hand.
There is documentation in the MSDN library about this tile format, which was introduced in 8.1.

I know it. But I would like to have features like: Big tiles, the ability to create tile outside the root of the start menu ('cause it's annoying and disordered to have so much apps spread on the start menu) and so on.

Big tiles are not supported for desktop apps, this is mentioned in the MSDN docs for start menu handling.

Didn't know that. Can you point me to the documentation?

Here is the link for the visual manifest;
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn393983.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
About halfway through;
Tile design best practices specify that if your tile is not a live tile, it should not claim the extra screen space required for wide (310x150) and large (310x310) tiles. Because a desktop app's tile is always static and never live, those additional tile sizes are not supported in this schema.

Thank you!! I didn't use the alternatives that had proxy applications, but now I can finally customize my start menu.
HOWEVER. I'm having troubles with changing tiles for applications under C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86), either the tile doesn't change, or the background turns black :/ I'm running your application as administrator, I've tried manually copying the tile.png to the appropriate directories - same result ..

Thank you!!! Nice app that I was looking for a long time. There is any way to read folders inside "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder? I'm asking this 'cause some apps like office are in folders and I don't want duplicate shortcuts...
Thanks again!

I encountered that "small icon on black background", too (Chrome and Firefox had this problem). I solved it by simply creating a new shortcut to the exe and copying it to the startmenu (deleting the old startmenu entry).

Thanks a lot!! I'll try this new one.

This does not seem to work for me, it's creating tile.png and firefox.visualelementsmanifest.xml (trying with Firefox) and the result when I add Firefox to my startmenu is the standard Firefox icon not the one I've tried to assign to it.

create a new shortcut to firefox.exe and place it in the startmenu. then pin again. this should solve your issue.

Indeed, that worked, thanks!

There is any way to restore default?
