edgeTile: Pin your desktop app tiles and more!

Hi,
I'm the developer of edgeTile, an OblyTile alternative for Windows 10 that allows users to create and pin custom Start Menu Tiles for executables, links, store apps, files, folder and websites. The app includes also a bunch of useful utilities such as Tile Backups support, Icons packs and a MS URIs cheat sheet.
The app supports also desktop apps launch without using any annoying external proxy apps. This is possible due to edgeTile currently participating to the Desktop Bridge (Project Centennial) Program.
edgeTile is free and is available on Windows 10 Desktop and Mobile.
You can find the app here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/edgetile/9nblggh20dz9

run desktop apps (games, programs) failed. It would be great to add transparency for the background tiles. otherwise, very good

Not launching .EXE
It does not start .EXE, both executable and setups, regardless of whether it is in the programs folder or in other folders. Other files start normally.
Note: Tested with and without the desktop proxy. EdgeTile v.2.2.7.0.
For the lovers of the tiles, my profile in DA, I make several tiles for several programs: vcferreira.deviantart.com

Could you maybe add support for transparent backgrounds?

Great app! Is there a way for your app not to automatically pop up and close every time I start a program that I have edited its icon of?

Pinning desktop tiles doesn't seem to work on my system (Windows 10 Creators Update, build 15063). Here's what I'm trying to launch:
Code:
"C:\Python36\python.exe" "E:\tools\network-auth.py"
Here's what I've tried feeding to edgeTile as a target:
"C:\Python36\python.exe" "E:\tools\network-auth.py" (as above, verbatim)
edgeTile:"C:\Python36\python.exe" "E:\tools\network-auth.py" (an edgeTile: URI, as recommended by your URI lists)
The "enable desktop applications" box was ticked for both values. In the end, the only thing that actually worked was unticking that box and launching "tilecreator://network-auth", using my old TileCreator proxy application.
Clearly this is not the intended behavior, so what's going on?

Not sure if this will help, but when trying to get certain games to run with command line parameters, I create a shortcut with what I need -- for example, G:\Quake\quake.exe -width 1920 -height 1080 -- and then Copy as Path. That lets edgeTile run it just fine.

Sory but can you explain how to run .exe or shortcuts ? It seems all good when I try but when I click the tile nothing happens but it's open folders well.

1) Create a shortcut to the game.
2) Highlight the shortcut and then Copy as Path.
3) In edgeTile, paste that path into LAUNCHER Uri. (Example: "C:\Assets\Quake.lnk")
4) Check Enable Desktop Executables Launch.
5) Select Launch target with URI (URLs and MS URIs).
Good luck!

Are you trying to launch a Steam game? Have you run it yet from the Steam client? Some games are picky that way.

No funciona con Photoshop CC 2018.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Photoshop.exe
Photoshop CC 2018 no se inicia. ¿Que hago?

So for exe what works is if you :
Launch target as file, select the file, then enable launch as target with URI and tick to enable desktop exec launch - works for me.

I'm having similar issues, specifically with GOG Galaxy games and getting them to open with the Galaxy app (to get achievements, sync cloud saves, etc). If I open up a shortcut to one, I get something like this as the path:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\GalaxyClient.exe" /command=runGame /gameId=1421064427 /path="C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Sunless Sea"
If I try pasting that into edgetile as a URI, nothing happens.
I noticed there's a special URI for launching executables with arguments,
Code:
edgetile:{path to executable followed by arguments}
But if I try "edgetile:{"C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\GalaxyClient.exe" /command=runGame /gameId=1421064427 /path="C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Sunless Sea"}" it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Got it to work with the Copy as Path thing! Took a little research. Here's an expanded version of the directions for those who don't recognize that command:
1. Create or find a shortcut that does what you want your tile to do.
2. If you made it, put it somewhere you want it. If it's already in the Start menu, try right clicking, hovering over "more" and then "Open file location."
2. Hold down the shift key and right click the shortcut.
3. You should now see the option "Copy as path" in the context menu. If you don't, you probably weren't holding down shift.
4. Open up Edgetile, and paste what you've copied into the place for the Uri
5. Check "Enable Desktop Executables Launch"
Voila! Works great for GOG Galaxy games.

Sorry to pull this thread up again, but i'm still not able to launch any .exe Files.
I'm on latest Windows 10 1903, installed edgeTile from the Store.
I tried any combination of Path, with all Launch Options. I tried with a plain path, with "Path" and with edgeTile:. None seem to work. They either show the edgeTile splash and then nothing happens, or i get the error "The uri associated with this Tile is invalid!"
I tried with Steam Games, Discord, two Browsers and some random stuff i had lying arround. Any Tipps to get this working?

I can also confirm that edgeTile simply will not open any executables at all. Not by lnk path, not by exe path, not using "edgeTile:" prefix. Nada.

in the microsoft store it says:
If you don't want to see edgeTile splashscreen when launching a tile on Desktop you just need to drag edgeTile window to the border of the screen. By doing so this setting will be saved for next tile launch until you move the window again.

how exactly is this? I drag the edgetile to the border of the screen, but every time open the apps pinned by edgetile, the splashscreen still pop up

EdgeTile Creators still works

In EdgeTile Creators:
-Create a shortcut to the file you want to run.
-Right click on that shortcut and Copy Path.
-Paste that into the Launcher: Path field and select Launch as File/Executable.

Video:
Possible problems :
The serial number is replaced by: Unknown or 1234
Solution :
To get your serial number, try:
1. Connect to Wi-Fi (you can create a WiFi hotspot in your phone and connect to it).
2. Make bluetooth pairing to your phone.
The serial number is generated by the MAC addresses of the WiFi and bluetooth modules.
3. Reboot after that the device 1 or 2 times!
You can reboot in the Settings Mod and click on the circle icon in the upper right corner. The reboot menu will appear.
Check if the serial number appears.
The Bluetooth application says that there is no license.
Solution :
1. Connect the device to WiFi to the WiFi access point of your phone, check whether the Internet is working on the device, for example, launch a browser and see if the Internet is working there.
2. Reboot. You can reboot in the Settings Mod and click on the circle icon in the upper right corner. The reboot menu will appear.
3. After rebooting, connect to the internet. Go to the bluetooth application and try to press the buttons there or click on the inscription where it is written that there is no activation.
Sound does not work or shows I2C error on every reboot
Solution :
Your DSP is incorrectly configured in the factory settings.
Go to Settings Mod - Settings related to the car - Engineering menu (password 0000)
and set up the DSP there.
My settings (you may have other settings !!!)
1. DSP Settings - Audio IC Type - BU37033 Series
2. Application Settings - Ess DSP or ROHM DSP
The work on the full version of the firmware mod is completed, the first release of version 1.0 is made. Please read the information under the spoiler "FULL Firmware Version Information:"
I ask you to excuse me in advance if I don’t often answer in the topic, since I’m physically not enough for all the time and I ask you to understand me! And we will help other users if you know the answers to questions!

Thanks @Malaysk. As Beta tester I am testing your ROM since some weeks on my Erisin (Leima MCU) and everything is fine!

Awesome. I have one of these units and very eager to test. However, I have some questions I hope a user can anser:
1. I have no original software for backup. Is it available somewhere in case this doesn't work?
MCU: S32F0_XinRC-18-W_20200812-09:08_HD1_7708_D_FF_C8
APP: PX5C_C54_HA1_Xrc2-10-EN_2020-06-05-1726
2. If I take the power off of it, will it remember equalizer sound settings?
3. I always get a popup that my usb device want access. I can check a box to remember the setting, but after each boot it asks again... Is this solved?
4. Steering wheel controls programmable?
Thanks.

Hi Everyone
I've got the MCU down here, but i can't understand what Firmware i have to install, first or second?
Thanks!

Installed... thank you for the great work you have done. I have a problem with my canbus (ft-ss-05) now not available in the settings and those available lack the functions. Why are there no canbus models compared to the original Rom?

I try to answer to your questions.
1) You need a "backup" only of the Android Part. The MCU is untouched by this ROM. You need the reinstall the original SW. I don't know if this is straight away, after the Custom ROM installation. In any case, Here you will find several original firmware, search for the one for you unit:
https://yadi.sk/d/lBxQipoetfkMLw
You can find also a thread here: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=973677&st=0
2) If you remove the fixed +B, typically all the settings should be lost. I am not sure about the equalizer.
3) This happened also to me before I had installed the Malaysk ROM. It is a bug of the original FW. With the Malaysk ROM this issue is gone.
4) Only resistive for the moment, as the original FW one.

Installed, works amazing, I have only a big issue: using spotify, when i play next manually with swc (resistive) the song changes, but i have no audio, i need to press pause then play to get audio again... If the songs changes automatically after reaching the end no issue...

No one tested the ROM with YUNHT MCU?
What happen if i flash it? don't want to brick the unit

Thanks for all your help (and getting this organised).
Unfortunately I don’t see any xinrc roms there. But I’m too curious not to try. The confirmation checkbox for usb has been bugging me a lot.
I’ll try soon and report. Fingers crossed!

Great work! My unit has a 800x480 display, will the custom ROM work just as well?

Does this rom works with the same radio PX5 MCU S32F0 RK3368 with Android 10?

Very many different MCUs from different manufacturers! We need to check.

Hi Malaysk,
Thanks for the reply! so i shall wait? It's my only head unit so i really don't want to risk to brick it

Which one will work for me?

Rats! Is there a way to backup my current firmware so that if anything goes wrong I can go back?

did some testing today. Fcc launcher works. I miss the nice volume bar of the old roms. Where can I setup the delay for sleep mode? .Radio will not turn off.

These radio works differently from MCU MTCD based one with regards to the sleep philosophy. The are going in stand by and they will completely switch off only when the car battery goes under 12 volt. This is done to have a fast boot

Installation/configuration on Junsun V1 pro:
I know real men don't need to read manuals but have a look before asking stupid questions. ;-)
- Install both! apps ('AppSwitcher' and 'AppSwitcher Starter')
- Enable automatic start of navigation app in factory settings and let your device reboot
- Open app 'AppSwitcher' and select your navigation and multimedia apps'
- Set 'AppSwitcher Starter' as navigation app:
- Configure one button of steering wheel to start navigation app (if not already done)
- Optional, if you're using not the stock launcher: Add 'AppSwitcher Starter' to autorun. This will start AppSwitcher even if the head unit misses to start the navigation app after sleep. This step is optional and shouldn't be required.
--> Basic configuration completed
Further settings
Run media app on service start:
Last used media app will be started as soon as 'AppSwitcher Service' gets started. Exception: Another media app or navigation app is already in foreground.

Is it for 8227L chipset mtk devices ?

It is not tied to a specific chipset. The app reads the device log to identify if the steering wheel button was pushed.
So you could check that with a device log reader app like Logcat.
On Junsun devices you can find a entry with TAG 'MainUI' and message 'nDealPkey = = xxx' for each button press in the log.

I'm asking that because Junsun has similar boards like mine ALPS device with AC8227L chipset.

Added video of alpha app version to first post.

Added APKs (1st post) and installation/configuration instruction (3rd post) .

New version 1.1 alpha available. Please download from 1st post. Major changes are listed in 2nd post.

Please excuse my scepticism.
How can we make sure that your application is safe?
1. The application is not on Google Play.
2. The code is not open source.
3. You have no link to a repository.
Other than that, great idea keep up the good work.
A functionality for trying to connect to the latest wifi hotspot, or to try all previous used networks?

Thank you for your feedback. You're right but I just started with Android app development recently. Github will come, PlayStore maybe never. In meantime feel free to use an (online) decompiler as you would have to do for a lot of apps provided here on Xda. On the other side be sure the Chinese pre-installed enought risky stuff on the head units.
I thought about the possibility to trigger system scan for wifi networks to get the internet connection faster.

​FAQ​
Why is the starter a separate apk?
Junsun head units check if the navigation app package is already in foreground. If that's the case home screen gets displayed. If we set 'AppSwitcher' as navigation app it would not stay in foreground. Here the relevant coding of MainUI:
What does the different log listener log entries mean?
AppSwitcher is listening to different log messages of the Android system log. We need not the enter the whole message, a substring is sufficient. But we need to consider spaces.
- Short button press log entry
The most important log entry. If this gets recognized the AppSwitcher dialog gets opened or the next app to start gets highlighted.
On some head units we can use the message which gets written after we release the SWC key after a short period of time.
- On button press log entry
This message will only stop the countdown and AppSwitcher is waiting for the next configured log entry.
Usually we configure a log message which gets written as soon as we push down the SWC key.
- Long button press log entry
AppSwitcher will return to home screen or close (cancel) the dialog.
If possible we configure a message which gets written when we release the SWC key after a long period of time.
What is DuraSpeed?
DuraSpeed is a proprietary tool from MediaTek restricting and closing(!) background apps and services to free memory and so to make it available for starting apps.
AppSwitcher can set the properties to turn DuraSpeed off in case you're struggling with closed services / apps and want to give back control to Android.
AppSwitcher dialog isn't shown
On some head units you have to provide permissions manually. According to my experience on a Junsun V1 pro (with MTK8259/MTK8257 CPU) the authorizations granted automatically.
1. Ensure that the AppSwitcher service is running. We should see the AppSwitcher icon on top of the status bar and a notification in the status bar.
2. Check if AppSwitcher has permission to appear on top of other apps. You can provide the authorization in "application settings".
3. On some head units AppSwitcher doesn't get authorization to read the Android log. In this case you have to grant authorization via ADB:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.thf.AppSwitcher android.permission.READ_LOGS
How display dimming works
Screen dimming is realized by "painting" a semi-transparent overlay on top of the screen because we don't have the possibility to access display brightness on system level.
Some apps don't like to get overlayed and so Google PlayStore shows a warning message. AppSwitcher is pausing the overlay if Google PlayStore is the app in foreground.
If you're using an app which doesn't work well whiles it's overlayed, let me know.
What is Automate?
Automate is a powerful alternative to Tasker...
Automate for Android ⋅ LlamaLab
Create flowcharts that make your Android smartphone or tablet perform tasks automatically.
llamalab.com
...which allows to execute tasks, start apps, change settings, change connectivity (wifi, hotspot, Bluetooth,...) and much more.
Unfortunately our head units are killing the Automate service during sleep and not enabling it after reboot.
AppSwitcher can re-enable the Automate service and trigger an Automate flow.

Added version 1.4.
Only minor changes but the UI bug was too painful for my eyes. (-:

Hi Thorsten,
thanks for this app.
This is exactly what I was looking for. A brilliant and creative idea to use the navi app as a trigger

Thank you very much! After ~90 downloads I'm really happy to read such a great feedback.
Wish you good and safe rides with the app.

Hi Thorsten, I found your app through your reply in other thread regarding fyt. I test it on teyes cc3, it works as you describe. I assign the 3rd party dvr app to steering switch long press. However I wonder if next version could be expanded to not only replace navi app/button but other button/function as well, or when assigned button press it will cycle to different apps. And one more thing I’m pretty sure I downloaded the latest version of your app but the app info still showing version 1.3 instead version 1.4. Thank you for the app.

The NSTG turns 10! Time for a makeover.

The impetus for my project was the purchase of a (surprise!) late production line NSTG with a flawless light-dispersing layer. And I thought...this deserves a rethink. Thanks to @Renate for help with the status bar background color and clock color. The rest is a combination of DesktopVisualizer, Simi Folder, Tasker apps (only 2), Minimalistic Text, a little judicious wallpaper design, and fooling with the framework-res.apk.

It's a real thing. I've been using it for a few weeks, tracking down small issues. Think I've got them all. But...it's just ADW launcher dressed up with some nice features. The underlying B&N system remains.

Mmm....not sure. I actually have not tried applying this to a second device. I'm sure I can do it, but there are a lot of moving parts. I need to try and simplify the process. I didn't actually think anyone else would be interested!
Probably some kind of of gradually increasing functions, like just the status bar change (easy). That's just an update of the framework-res.apk using CWM. Then add in the smart "reading now" button (without the bookcover widget). That's just a pair of apps in which I can disable all the widget stuff.
That, I think, would be doable by anyone. The rest really is window dressing. It suits me, but not all the elements may suit others. I need to look at the portability of the widgets. If that were possible it would simplify things a lot.
Edit: Well, some good news for a change. The widgets can be "exported" in a file and then read into a different device. So for people who want to duplicate any of the widgets they see on my screen (or use them as starting points), the path is smoother.
Anyway, that's my next "job".

Really good stuff. Wish I had another NST to experiment on, it's crazy what you can still do with them.

Not to my knowledge. I've only ever read about the change in background color and beefing up of the dispersing layer in one place. They could have made it up, but there is no doubt about background "white" when I line up an NST, my new NSTG, and my older NSTG. There's a clear progression to a darker background.
Now there could simply be something wrong with my old NSTG that makes the background so dingy, but I don't think so.

I can't guarantee "easy", but it will be my usual "overly detailed"

How-to
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything odd you do to your NST/G. Make a backup.
"My habits protect my life, but they would assassinate you."--Mark Twain
For this reason my original instructions were very incremental and complex. I now think that was a bad idea.
I recently discovered a way to create CWM flashable zips of installed and configured apps. I thought this might vastly simplify recreating the "new UI" look. I think I was right. I also decided that it was better to install everything at first and then subtract (uninstall) stuff that you don't want, seeing as how there are so many moving pieces and lots of dependencies. You can decide if I was right.
STAGING
Note: you need a good file manager app on your device and may also need some kind of working gallery app (like QuickPic), depending on whether the activity picker recognizes your file manager app fully. I was able to get along with ES File Explorer.
1. Make a CWM card (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...od-based-recovery-fixed-backup-issue.1360994/), using either of the two SD card versions.
2. Download framework_newUI_CWM.zip and NST_newUI_CWM.zip. Copy these files onto the CWM card you have made.
Spoiler: What's in the zips?
framework_newUI_CWM.zip
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/services.jar
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/data/local/fb2png
Changes to the framework-res.apk were needed to change the status bar to white and update the icons. This version also includes a few minor changes to address problems with invisible text in some apps. An update to services.jar was needed to change the clock to black text. This version of services.jar contains the patches needed for NookTouch ModManager. If you don't run NTMM, the patches are ignored. The two small "maps" files are dependencies for Tasker and any apps created with Tasker (such as NST UI, SetCover, NSTWeather and QuickTiles). These files don't do anything but if you ever want to install any of the other apps I have created with Tasker, their presence will save you a step.
The small binary file fb2png is a replacement for the malfunctioning /system/bin/screenshot. It converts the contents of the frame buffer into a graphics file with png format.
NST_newUI_CWM.zip
ADW Launcher (configured)
DesktopVisualizer
SimiFolder (sample folder configured)
Wallpaper Chooser
NST UI (dependency on MinimalisticText)
MinimalisticText (widgets pre-configured)
RotationLocker
QuickTiles (dependency on RotationLocker)
NSTWeather Widget (dependency on MinimalisticText)
So, it's pretty complicated and that's why I think this CWM method is best. In particular, MinimalisticText is difficult to install properly on the NST/G. Even following my own instructions it's hit-or-miss. This way you have a working version install with no effort. You can eventually uninstall things you are not going to use. Look for those tips in the instructions.
3. Download folders.zip. Inside the zip are two folders, media and sdcard. Copy the contents of the "media" folder to /media on your NST/G. If there is not already a "screensavers" folder in /media, create one and inside that create the folder "CurrentBookCover".
Next, copy the contents of the "sdcard" folder to /sdcard on your NST/G. If there is not already a "Pictures" folder in /sdcard, create one and inside that create the folder "Screenshots".
You now have everything you need to reproduce the UI shown in the first post.
INSTALLATION
1. Make a backup of your NST/G. Everything you are going to do is reversible, but it would be so much easier to just restore a backup if you decide you don't like the result.
2. Power down, remove your regular sdcard and replace it with the CWM card. Power up. Wait for CWM to pass the splash screen and display the first menu.
If you're not familiar with CWM, movement in the menu and item selection are controlled by hardware buttons:
upper left: previous menu, upper right: up, lower right: down, "n" button: select.
a. move down the menu to "install zip from sdcard". Press "n"
b. press "n" again ("choose zip from sdcard")
c. move to framework_newUI_CWM.zip and press "n"
d. move either up or down to confirm the file you want to flash and press "n"
Spoiler: I only want the updated Status Bar!!!
skip e,f,g and after the reboot is complete, delete all the "folder" content from both /media and /sdcard
e. again, select "choose zip from sdcard" (press "n")
f. move to NST_newUI_CWM.zip and press "n"
g. move either up or down to confirm the file you want to flash and press "n"
The screen gets a little mushed up with the menu after two flashes, but all you need is to get back to the beginning.
h. go back (upper left button) until the first item in the menu is "reboot system now"
i. remove the CWM sdcard and replace it with your usual sdcard, then press "n"
Chug, chug, chug... Boot may take a little longer because of replacing the framework-res.apk, but be patient.
THE DETAILS
1. Change Wallpaper (may have to do it twice for it to take effect). Tap on the Wallpaper Chooser app and navigate through the tiny print to /media/Wallpaper. There are three files. You want "NST UI Background_p.png". The other two files are for a smoother transition to landscape mode (handled by QuickTiles). If you never use your device in landscape mode you can design your own wallpaper to suit without making a version for landscape. The Wallpaper Changer app is sort of funky, but it gets the job done. If you have my Nook Settings app, there is a wallpaper setting under "Display", so you could delete Wallpaper Changer in that case.
2. Initialize NST UI by tapping on the icon. You are taken back to the home screen and get an SU permission prompt.
3. Use NTMM to assign NST UI to the status bar "reading now" button.
Spoiler: I only use the stock reader!!
In that case you do not need to assign the NST UI app to the "reading now" button. Everything else will function fine.
Also assign ADW Launcher to the "n" button.
Note: if you are not familiar with ADW Launcher, the three dots at the upper right corner of the app drawer screen are your friend. The first option allows you to hide apps from the drawer, the second to create additional tabs if you want to group apps. And it's a convenient place to access the App Manager.
4. Add BookCover widget (DesktopVisualizer), scale and position.
a. Long press on the home screen somewhere blank. You will see a dialog. Tap as needed to get to "Widgets."
b. Select a 4x4 Desktop Visualizer widget.
c. A place-holder for the widget appears somewhere on the home screen. Long-press until you can drag the image down to below "Now Reading". Then tap on it.
d. Tap on "Select Icon" (this will be the book cover image). Tap on "Image File". You'll see a selection of possible apps that might open such a file. In my case that was ES File Explorer. If nothing shows up that will allow you to navigate to /media/NowReading/NSTcover.png or select from a variety of images (with a gallery app like QuickPic) you will need to install something.
e. Tap on "Select Action". You will see options. We want to launch an app.
Note: if you would rather not have the book cover image repeat the function of the "reading now" button, select "None". In that case tapping on the book cover image will have no effect.
Select NST UI. This makes the widget active as a "button" which will open the "Now Reading" book.
f. To complete the setup of the widget, trash the Label and select "None" for the Touch Effect color. Then tap on OK.
g. You are now back on the home screen:
Long-press on the widget until you see the dialog open and select "Resize":
The best option for me was to move the bottom handle down a little. This gave an image that seemed to fit in the space and had the right aspect ratio. Compare with the screenshot in the first post. Of course you can position and size the image any way you want if you are developing your own design. When you select a book to read this temporary image will be replaced.
5. Getting a custom version of the SetCover app.
Spoiler: Why does this have to be so complicated????
I've really tried everything to simplify this but I've come up with nothing. The issue is with the appWidgetID and the manager hidden somewhere on the device. In order to manipulate the book cover widget via Tasker the widget ID# is required. This is no problem but there is no way to use a variable to carry this information. And...Desktop Visualizer seems to almost pick a random number for its widgets so there is no dependable way to know what your individual widget ID# for the book cover image will be until you create the widget. Desktop Visualizer has the "ability" to clear the widget from memory if you delete it (from the App Manager) but it only resets the ID# back to the value it started with (whatever it was) and that not 100% of the time (a reboot helps).
What this means is that each version of SetCover has to be custom made for your particular widget ID#. This is not a difficult thing for me to do--just a few changes in the code for your ID#--and I am happy to do it. But it does mean that if you accidentally delete the book cover widget, you may not be able to make a new one with the same ID# and thus will need a new version of the app.
a. Use a file manager to navigate to /data/data/jp.co.bii.androi.app.dskvzr/files.
Inside that folder there should be one file representing the book cover widget. The file name will be something like "conf_1.dat". Your widget ID# is the numeric part of the file name (so, "1", in the example shown). PM me with your widget ID# and I will send you a custom version of SetCover.
b. Install the app and initialize it by tapping on the icon. You are returned to the home screen and an SU permission prompt is generated. It also takes a screenshot (think of it as a test drive...).
c. Use NTMM to assign SetCover to the hardware button of your choice (for manual cover capture). Remember, automatic cover images are only generated for non-DRM epub files. Everything else requires one button press when the cover is displayed on the screen.
5. Create additional SimiFolders and arrange dock icons
Spoiler: I do not want SimiFolders. I am going to use single app icons!!!
Uninstall the SimiFolder app. If the sample SimiFolder icon (the "books") does not disappear from the dock area of the home screen, double-tap on it until the dialog appears and choose "Remove". Remember that ADW Launcher allows you to use custom icons on the home screen, so even if you use single app icons you can still customize for an overall uniform effect if you want. To change the icon, double-tap on an app icon and choose "edit" from the dialog that appears.
I've provided one sample SimiFolder (the "books") so that setup of additional folders is simplified (if you like my choices...). Here's how to make additional ones.
a. Tap on the SimiFolder icon in the app drawer. Just a useful tidbit before we go on: the "Applications" section lists your apps, as you might guess. But there is an option in there for changing the app icon. I did this with the stock Library app in the sample "Reader" folder. So, tap on "Folder" and then "Add Folder". Give the folder a name and select the type of folder ("Combined").
Finally, to keep things simple for now, you can skip all the tedious configuration by choosing to "Copy settings from Folder". In this case, the sample "Readers" folder I provided. Save before going on.
b. To add apps to the new folder, tap on it and then on "Add".
This takes you to a screen with all your apps. Check the ones you want. You can choose to order the apps manually or let the app arrange them ("Sorting", back on the previous screen).
c. To get the new SimiFolder to appear on the home screen (in the dock) you need to use DesktopVisualizer. Long-press on an empty area of the home screen to bring up the ADW dialog:
Use the dialog options that follow to navigate to /media/Icons and select the icon of your choice (you can add/design your own, of course).
You would choose your own folder, of course. Then you are back to the home screen and you can drag your new SimiFolder shortcut down to the dock and arrange as you like.
6. Add Greeting widget (MinimalisticText)
Spoiler: I do not want the Greeting widget!!!
This requires a special version of the NST UI app with the widget control parts removed. Uninstall the existing NST UI app and install NST UI_no_widget. Initialize the app by tapping on the icon and grant SuperUser permission. If you also do not want the Weather widget, you can uninstall MinimalisticText and delete /sdcard/Fonts as well as /sdcard/MinimalisticTextPreferences
a. Long-press on the home screen somewhere and add a Widget. You want MinimalisticText 5x1 Horizontal. This takes you to the app itself where you enter the name for the widget. Use the name as shown.
b. Scroll to the very end of Settings until you see Save/Restore. Choose "Restore" and select "Greeting". This reads in the widget as I have created it so you don't have to go through all the setup.
c. DO NOT USE either the back arrow or back button at this point!! You'll have to start all over again. Instead, scroll back through Settings to find "Custom Layout". You can now see the "innards" of the widget. You want the last item which will allow you to type in your name.
d. NOW use the back button (status bar) twice to dismiss the keyboard and close the editing screen. To save any changes to a widget of any kind, ALWAYS use the menu button (status bar) followed by a tap on "OK" at the bottom. MinimalisticText closes and you are back at the home screen.
e. Resize and position as before with the book cover image (see post #1). For me, pulling down on the bottom a little put the widget in the correct vertical position.
7. Add Weather widget (MinimalisticText)
Spoiler: I do not want the Weather widget!!!
Uninstall the NST Weather app. Delete the NSTWeather folder from your sdcard. From /sdcard/Fonts folder, delete weathericons.ttf
If you want to have the Weather widget, you will need to get a free API from Open Weather Maps. For more information, see the original app post. You don't need to go through the whole widget-building process. Once you have the API and your geocoordinates, tap on the app icon and fill in the Settings information. The rest is more or less automatic. You will receive a notification when the data has been processed and the app is "widget-ready". Then you follow the procedure for the Greeting widget (the size is Horizontal 4x2), but name it "Weather" and read in the configuration for that widget. There's nothing else to do but position the widget properly on the home screen. If your location is not showing up correctly for some reason, you can go into the widget settings (Layout>CustomLayout) and replace the Location variable with static text. Message me for additional help.
8. Configure QuickTiles
Spoiler: I do not want QuickTiles!!!
Be aware that if you ever use your device in landscape mode the static elements of the home screen wallpaper provided will be improperly positioned. This special version of QuickTiles (2.3) contains sufficient code to swap wallpapers during screen orientation changes. If that's not an issue for you, uninstall the QuickTiles app and delete /sdcard/Qtiles. If you never use your device in landscape (or always change from within an app like EBookDroid or PerfectViewer) you can also uninstall RotationLocker.
Tap on the app icon to initialize. By default, only the WiFi tile is set. You should read more about how the app works and how to set up additional tiles in the original app post. Some functions may require the presence of additional apps. RotationLocker is a dependency so whether you actually use that particular tile, the app must remain installed if you want to run QuickTiles.
Just in case...
If you have deleted some apps and later change your mind, it would be a shame to have to go back to the CWM zip and flash all over again. For that reason I've posted copies (or links to copies) of the main "optional" apps. Note that MinimalisticText comes as a CWM-flashable zip because it is so difficult to get a working install by just installing the app.
