Simple Text Editor - Notepad

Hi at all,
Often I need to use a simple text editor instead of a more complex (and heavy) programs (like word) just for create or edit simple text files, then I have written a very simple applicatation to view a text files (txt, log, bat, ...).
Notepad is a simple text editor with the possibility to open and save documents in differents text format. The notepad functionalities are intentionally left simple for not to be too heavy.
Funcionalities:
- Context menu' with Cut, Copy and Paste commands.
- Clipboard shared with other applications (is possibile to copy text from other application (like word) end paste in notepad, and viceversa)
- Insert today date (from edit menu' and from context menu')
- Delete current file from file system
- Open and save files in any folder browsing file system (instead of classic open file dialog)
Prerequisities :
- .NET Compact Framework 2.0 ( www.microsoft.com )
Installation.
Download zip file
unzip in any folder and copy CAB file on device.
Use fileExplorer to found a CAB file and run it.
It will be installed and will be created an icon in Program Files.

[APP][16-SEP-09]AutoRename:rename photos automatically and move them to another place

AutoRename can rename photos automatically and move them to another place.
"XPPR-456.jpg" gets"2009-09-15_15.57.38_1523kB.jpg"
The application is designed for Windows Mobile but also works on the Desktop (Microsoft .Net-Framework must be installed).
On the PDA the camera- application stores photos with a very impractical name like XPPR-456.jpg . Now with this Software you can rename these photos by a single click or by drag and drop. In addition, they can be moved to another location.
At the moment there are 3 different formats you can use. Duplicate names are prevented by intelligent naming;
The implemented formats are:
DATE_TIME_FileSize.jpg gets for example 2009-09-15_15.57.38_1523kB.jpg
DATE_TIME_FileCounter.jpg
DATE_TIME_(FileCounter if necessary).jpg
Usage:
The program AutoRename does not need to be installed. Simply copy the file "AutoRename.exe" to any place and start it. At the first run the configuration file "config.ini" is written (when it does not exist already). It must be adapted to your needs before you make use of the program (before the 2nd program start).
The configuration file "config.ini" is located in the same folder as the executable; the content is self- explicatory.
New feature: Files can be converted by drag and drop- defined format in config.ini is used
Configuration file “config.ini” (is created automatically at first program launch):
Code:
; AutoRename configuration file
; format=0 2009-09-15_15.57.38_1523kB (DATE_TIME_FileSize)
; format=1 2009-09-15_15.57.38_1 (DATE_TIME_FileCounter)
; format=2 2009-09-15_15.57.38 (DATE_TIME_(FileCounter if necessary))
[Info]
Charset="utf-8"
[Configuration]
FromPath=\Storage Card\DCIM\
ToPath=\Storage Card\DCIM\
format=2
History:
2009-09-16: added Command Line support (now files can be converted by drag and drop- defined format in config.ini is used)
added FileExtension management
2009-09-15: added CofigurationFile & formats
2008-12-12: initial version
Outstanding:
full commandline support
userdefined pattern
Files:

cool looks helpful.

Customize the Rom Update Utility (RUU)

Recently, I played with the HTC Rom Update Utility and collected some knowledge about it that I thought was worthwhile to share. Maybe you can use it as some guidelines & tips to customize the RUU for your own roms.
------------------------------------------
As you all know the HTC Rom Update Utility contains the following files:
Code:
EnterBootloader.exe ErrorBattery.fig ErrorUSB.fig ModelID.fig rapitool.exe ROMUpdateUtility.exe RUUGetInfo.exe RUUResource.dll
Modifying the dialog boxes
The dialogs that are displayed when launching the ruu are part of the RUUResource.dll. These dialog windows are fairly easy to modify with a resource editor, like for example Resource Tuner.
With a resource editor you can modify the text of the dialog windows. This can be very handy when you want to provide some extra info about your roms. Besides this you can change some controls like buttons, checkboxes etc. For example, for your own sake you can change the user interface to speed up the update proces by hiding the checkboxes and enable the next buttons by default. (see the attached RUUResource.dll)
Modifying the image displayed on the dialogs
The picture of the device showed on the lefthand side of the dialogs is contained in the file ModelID.fig . This picture has a height of 332 pixels and a width of 214 pixels.
To create your own image use your favorite image-editor. Save the created 332 x 214 image as a gif, bmp, jpg or png file and convert it to the "fig" format using the attached img2img tool (or download it from here) To convert for example the file x.bmp to x.fig run the following comand at the comand prompt:
Code:
img2img x.bmp x.fig
Creating a self-extracting CustomRUU.exe
All the RUU files can be packed together in a self-extracting exe using the SFX scripting facilities of WinRar. To do so: select the files that have to be packed together (see the listing at the top of this post). Right click and select "add to archive". Select "Create SFX archive" and go to the Advanced tap. Select "SFX Options..." and set the following parameters:
Code:
Tab general
Path to extract: current folder
Setup program: "setup.vbs" (explained later)
Tab modes
Silent mode: Hide all
Tab Text and Icon
Load SFX icon from file: enter your favorite icon (I attached a HD2 icon to this post to experiment with - [B]HD2_ico.zip[/B])
Because you want the self-extracting exe to clean up the files after the RomUpdateUtility has run, an extra batch file has to be created in which all files are deleted after the ruu is called. (I attached this batchfile as setup_bat.zip) Because Windows opens a comand window when a batch file is run, i've created a vb script for the Windows Scripting Host (part of the OS of Windows 98 and later) in which the batch file is called in a "hidden" window. (script attached as setup_vbs.zip). It is this script that is called by the SFX script.
Of course the setup files have to be deleted also (this is done in setup.bat)

Great tut.... nice!
Thanx!!

oh, this is what i was looking for! thanks for sharing

Good job man !

Thanks alot Now rom customization can go even further

Checkout 7-ZIP SFX Maker, perfect if your looking for a free / smaller option to WinRAR

[TUT] Add Internet Pages to the Start Menu // Add an Icon to a Mortscript File

Add an Internet Shortcut to the Menu and give it a Custom Icon!
This Webpage Shortcut will open in the Default Browser, so if you have set UCWEB or Opera as your Default Browser, they will be opened in that Browser!
Create a Internet Page Shortcut:
1. Open the Windows NotePad
2. Fill in the Website Adres like: http://xda-developers.com
3. Count how many Characters the Url has (in this case it's 26 Characters),
then insert "xx#" infront of it. xx stands for the Number of Characters +2
(only the link, with http at the beginning and .com/ at the end so not the ""),
So in this case it will be:
28#"http://xda-developers.com/"
4. Save the File as:
File Type: All Files
code: ASCII
Filename: Xda.lnk or whatever.lnk (not .ink but .lnk (in capital: LNK))
5. Add an Icon to the Shortcut
- Add: ?\Folder Path\Folder Path2\Icon.ico
So in this case it will be:
28#"http://xda-developers.com"?\Folder Path\Folder Path2\Icon.ico
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Place the .lnk file into \Windows\Start Menu\
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Add an Icon to a Mortscript File
This will add a Path into a Shortcut to the location of the Icon!
1. Place the Mortscript file on your PC Desktop
2. Open NotePad and click on Open
3. Locate the Mortscript File and open it
4. You'll see a link like this:
48#"\Windows\Thekn Apps, System Font Changer.mscr"
5. Add an Icon Path to it like this:
48#"\Windows\Thekn Apps, System Font Changer.mscr"?\Windows\Icon.ico
6. Save it (as the Default .mscr File (Unicode))
7. Place the Icon on your Device at the System Path you've just added to the Shortcut
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Added: Add Icon to Mortscript
Added: Add Icon to Mortscript

[How-To] Change Status Bar Icons

I have changed the status bar icons for a few time, and just want to share it to people who wants to personalize it by themselves but don't know how with their own taste without asking the others to do it for them
What you need:
- WinRar
- Gimp 2 - http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
- ADB or something like RootExplorer, I prefer ADB
File to be modified:
SystemUI.apk - you can find it in system/apps/
First, you need to get the SystemUI.apk out of your favorite ROM, I use WinRar, and then you open the apk file also by Winrar. Extract the 'drawable-mdpi' folder in 'res' folder. You will see the icons for back, home, option, etc. in there.
Now, edit the default icon with Gimp 2, open the icon, click Del to remove the image but still keep the template for your new icon. Open the your favorite icon (with Gimp 2 of course), and resize it to the size of the ROM's icon (it's under the Image option), mostly choose Height 48pixel and Width will be set automatically, just remember to look at the size of the default icon. After you resized your favorite icon, just Ctrl + C on your icon and then Ctrl + V on the the template, it will put your new icon to the center of the template. Last step for this is to save it back to the 'drawable-mdpi' folder. I suggest you to use .png icons and save the templates for your future uses FYI, you should have a 'pressed' template.
Last, open the SystemUI.apk and "Added files to ..." to the .apk file, add the modified 'drawable-mdpi' folder to the .apk, then you are done with the SystemUI.apk. If you want to have a fresh ROM flash, then just put the modified SystemUI.apk back to the ROM and flash; or you can "adb push" it to your tablet or over-write it, then you restart your tablet to see the change
That's it, first time you try it, it's going to take sometimes, but after you have all the templates ready, it's gonna be so quick for you to make any changes.
Let me know if you have any question, I'm no expert in Graphic Designing or Programming but will try to answer your questions
Here are some examples which I'm currently using them, have fun:
