This is an app to add more functionality to the power off button on our devices!
Its nothing new.. a few other applications like this can be found in the forum but i wanted to write my own
I was told this works on Touch Pro (so probably on Diamond too), Xperia1 and MAX 4G. So It must be compatible with VGA & WVGA devices!
Test it and let me know!
ERROR FIX NOTE:
It appears that there is a confilct with MobileMagic app.
so make sure if you are using MobileMagic go to Buttons tab
click on Power button (Long), Select from the drop down box Start application and assign it to Touch HD PowerOFF.exe
soft reset and you are done!
Shutdown fix temp solution:
Now shutdown works only it prompts you for confirmation.. i'll try to find
a workaround later! for now the app is usable once more!

Great
I have some comments:
1.The performance little slow but acceptable.
2.The confirm icons can be more bigger
GJ, downloading and testing !!

Perfect work! But to make the icon would be super.
Yeah i think too the confirmation icons are indeed small.. i'll change them for the v0.2
thanks guys
Sorry,,,
but i cannot find the App!!
is it attached??
Hmm, i get an error that the file is not signed when pressing the power button. But when i start it from the start menu it works fine.
Good work. Great app. Thanks for sharing.
My suggestion, please add an option to make the icons (larger would be nice) line up vertically.
I think it would be better that way for single hand operation. Otherwise to reach the left most button is a bit of a stretch (I usually hit the power button with my index finger, while my hand wrap around behind the HD, leaving my thumb free to wiggle about but that's just me).

Working on Touch Diamond?
I wonder, if your app would run on a Touch Diamond (i am confused by the "HD" in the app name). Any chance?

i build the app using 800x480 screen size so it might display the icons off center on the 600x480 resolution
can you please test it for me?

for now untill i work on the app its gonna be wvga only

I've installed to my device before creating the app some certificate cabs that came with other applications and this might be the reason i dont get the error.
can you please install this on your device and tell me if it resolves the issue?

this cab is from icone-topbar-touch-hd.rar found here:

also the mentioned cab can be found in WVGAFIX3_BY_Cotulla.zip

This is my first contribution here. Hope someone find it useful.
WHAT IS IT
It's a 18 buttons action screen for the Touch HD, in the following of some 12 buttons versions already available, but with some twists.
HOW DOES IT LOOK LIKE
See the attached screenshot.
HOW TO INSTALL
You'll need to have MortScript installed, you can get it here. Tests were made with version 4.2.
You may need .NET Compact Framework 3.5, but I'm not sure. Anyway installing it is a good idea, you can get it here.
After that, just download and install the attached CAB.
The installation follow the rules and everything should be installed properly independent of you ROM language.
All the files will go into their own folder: \Windows\ActionScreen.
HOW TO USE
You can just press the right selection key. There will be also a configuration icon in Programs.
As for what each icon does, I'll let it up to you to figure that out!
HOW TO CUSTOMIZE
To change the images you need to replace the installed .brn files. Search these forums for details.
To change the links (say you want to use iGO instead of Google Maps, for example) you'll need to edit the registry.
Open HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_0-17. Each number corresponds to a button.
Change Path to point to your desired application.
If needed change Param to pass parameters to the application.
To translate you'll need to edit a registry key and a file.
To translate the right selection key text, open HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and change the text in HomeRSKText to anything you like.
To translate the confirmation message before a restart, open the Restart.mscr file and change the text in the first two lines.
VERSION HISTORY
1.00 (20090228) - Initial release.
1.01 (20090302) - Doesn't stay in memory saving 92kb!
1.02 (20090306) - Better management of memory unload.
Added configuration tool to choose if you prefer to keep it in memory (faster loading time) or unload it (saves 92kb).
Added another possible state for WiFi off.
Have fun!
Wow! Thanks for sharing this wonderful app.

Good Job wedge666!
That's amazing!

Not exactly the same thing. Button 15, will turn off the screen but 16 will put the HD in sleep mode.
I really don't know how to do a real shutdown (like a long press on the power button) but I'm open to sugestions...
Can this app be started with multiple configurations?
E.g. different hotkeys start different button menus?
How to configure that?
Or A button opens a sub menu by starting the app with another config?
Is there an editor for the button mapping?

Hello! I do not see how reaching the parameters? Solutions? how to prolong the exposure time of the program!

I just changed some of the original behaviour, graphics and number of buttons of the HTC Action Screen.
Some things like sub menus or the time it takes to close can't be changed.
OK!
THX for this very good application.
Nice application, well done.
Question: how best to stop it running so I can update the .brn file(s) ?

You can kill it with a task manager, but I was able to replace the files with Resco Explorer even with it in memory. You can also soft boot and replace the images before the first run.
Or, even better, add the following lines to the end of LaunchAction.mscr:
Code:
Sleep(10000)
Kill("HTCActionScreen.exe")
EDIT: This is in fact such a good idea that I've uploaded a new CAB with this change, see first post.
Thanks for helping me out so promptly, cheers. If you're unloading the app from memory does that mean a slight delay on each start-up ?
Would it be possible to revamp the background.brn and BG*.brn files so it's easier to adjust the icon order ? At the moment it's quite fiddly, with basic pic editing tools.

Do i need to uninstall the old version before installing the new version or i can just "upgrade" it?
One bug i found is that my wifi icon remain lighted up even after i click on it to turn it off.
Click wifi icon (become lighted up) -> Turning wifi on.
Click wifi icon (icon remain lighted up) -> turning wifi Off.
A PocketCM Keyboard .23+ WVGA theme I made for the large of finger so you can worry just about what you want to say instead of trying to spend all your time pecking at each key and getting it right.
Features:
Virtual D-Pad
Long press on any letter to get uppercase.
Long press on almost any key for quick access to similar symbols.
Shift button is caps lock.
I made every key as large (tall (with big layout and wide)) as possible.
Has larger room for correction / allowed mistakes than standard keyboard to allow for less pickiness on large screen (WVGA).
Landscape finally works.
English qwerty.
Optimized as much as possible (including all images) for speed and size of theme.
Hold "!" for "!! "
Hold "?" for "?? "
Hold "," for ".com"
Hold "$" for "€"
Only bugs / quirks I'm currently aware of:
Not sure of what the height for landscape should be. (If you are using a full screen app (such as PocketCM) the current height is great, otherwise..it takes up pretty much the whole screen. Easy to change. Go to settings.ini, and change the last value from 27p to something more like 23p.)
Correction currently will not go through when any symbol is entered. Suggestion will go through only when the following are pressed immediately after a word is entered
space
!
@
Based off Tene's dream theme, so looks are the same.
Credits to of course tene and and also zard for assistance with the virtual keys.
Credits also to MrHawaii of PPCGeeks for a few ideas.
UPDATE 3/16/2009 V1.11
Started over from scratch.
Removed "Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space)." temporarily until I hear further from Tene on how to make it work more correctly.
Made suggestion 19% more forgiving, allowing for 19% further displacement from correct key. Think that is the farthest I will go, though I can bump it up if requested.
Suggestion will currently (until I hear from tene on how to fix it) only go through on the following
space
!
@
UPDATE 3/11/2009 V1.1
Added:
Hold comma key for ".com"
Auto - double space inserted when period, exclamation mark, or question mark pressed.
Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space).
Fixed:
Correction now goes through even on ?!.,
(Isn't actually as blurry as it looks on the thumbnail)
PCMK can be found at pocketcm.com
Updated. Small fixes and enhancements. See OP.
Thanks!
Use it on my Touch HD and its working fine!

Yep that's what's going to do it for you is just the height. I have it set for my device right now. The text box can't be moved / resized (except by tene), but if you lower the height of the whole keyboard then you should be good, I would recommend 24 or so.

Shift Key Graphics
Thanks .. this is a great theme!!
I see Shift key and up arrow key similar.. I just wanted to change shift key graphic to display "Sft" words in Image. I replaced shift.png in zip folder but it didnt work. How can I do this?
Message removed - posted in wrong thread.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for such a great theme! It's by far my favorite.
I was just wondering if you have released a new version of it since V1.11?
I'm not sure if I've found a bug, but, I've noticed that when I use any kind of punctuation (period, question mark, etc) it seems to be added to the beginning of the last word entered. For example instead of "I am home now.", I get "I am home .now". Is this behavior by design, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
ima noob. how do you get your skin to take affect?
Just copy the zip file into the PCM Keyboard folder in Program Files, then in PCM k\'s option choose my theme and then the suitable layout.

This app is based on Smaberg's port of the original HTC Actionscreen.
It's activated by holding the power button (top of the phone) for 3 seconds.
The menu then shows 12 buttons which enable you to launch the shown applications.
The reason I've created this version is that the original actionscreen didn't contain the functions I need/use and I didn't like the skin.
I've improved both and decided it wouldn't hurt to share. Enjoy!
* The previous releases have been downloaded over 450 times! *
Changelog:
v1.2

Features:
- Activated by holding the power button for 3 seconds.

nice..iv doenloaded this..the taskbar and the skin..
Niice! I have one issue. The calculator shortcut doesnt work for me :-(
What ROM have you got installed? Like the description sais, it points towards HTC Calculator (which I have not included, as it's seperately downloadable).
To fix it, either have it point to another calculator (registry), or install HTCCalculator (recommended).
great all is working right cheers mate
I love you actionscreen Forest. Very nice together with your Nature´s Grace theme for TF3D2.
Shadowsong looks gorgeous！ thx！

Everything you need to see can be found in the registry location he told me in page one. You can even change the icon if you want to

Neither of these are simple. This actionscreen works by executing a file. You'll have to make some sort of executable or shortcut which does what you need it to do, and then change the registry entries for the actionscreen.
Thanks for your answer, but I don't know exactly how I can make a executable or shortcut

Development has discontinued!
Hi girls,
I've wrote my own volume control because there were no one which had the features I needed.
You can control it with the volume keys of your device or with your finger/stylus (but it has to be opened with the volume keys first).
Supports (W)(Q)VGA (means VGA, WVGA, QVGA and WQVGA). I didn't test it on Square resolutions.
It's written in C# for .NET 3.5 so you need to have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed on your device.
The "0" in major section of the version means it is beta and could have some bugs and/or is not feature complete.
Source Code is available in VolumeKeysCS.zip.
I'm not a professional so don't be scared
Known issues / TODO:
- Speaker icon does not change
- does not work with in call volume
- volume icon in taskbar opens default windows volume control
Changelog:
0.4.1 / 2010-01-15
- fixed display bug in (W)QVGA

- hopefully does not block keys
- added update check
- sound profiles (normal, mute, vibrate) are set
- added option to don't show anything on key press
- added AppToDate support
- added configurable position (left, right, top, bottom)
0.3 / 2009-12-11
- (W)QVGA support added (tested with emulator)
- settings program is in english now
0.2 / 2009-12-10
- fixed problem with FM Radio and Windows Media Player

Yep, WVGA was the original resolution. Because of that I did not mention it in the changelog.
its certainly an addon in my roms as it supports wm6.5.3.
1st is dat on installation, i hav to go to volume key settings and then activate it from there. cant is be activated immediately after installation.
2nd when i changed the vol mode from on to vibrate to silent, i noticed that the tackbar icon didnt change.. is dat a bug?
Will definitely try if it works with wp 6.5.3 as reported above
Before I try it can somebody tell how it behaves in HTC Album and Windows Media Player(Portrait and landscape)?

#2 definitly seems to be a bug, the icon doesnt change but the phone is really silent/on vibrate
Another thing, which isnt really a bug but i noticed that if you just slide your finger up and it goes off the volume bar, it doesnt save the volume as max, but where you started 'sliding' it. It does the same thing with sliding down.
Not sure if this is a very good explanation of the problem, hope you know what i mean.
Seriously though, this is great, nice minimalistic design, non-intrusive and blends in nicely with manila. Ill definitly be using this from now on!
Oh and maybe make it work for landscape? Not sure if you need it, just toying with ideas here.. Great work man
This is a great little program. Good job. Having more then 5 volume levels is great. The only things I see that need worked on are in-call volume adjustment (does not seem to do anything on my Diamond/6.5.3 SYS) and the aforementioned taskbar icon. I really like the UI you've used. You'd think microsoft could come up with something so simple .
edit - also, on VGA, the vibrate button does not seem to register presses.
great app for all the 6.5.3 lover
i can live with the taskbar icon not changing.
but there are a few other things i noticed that may need some attention!
- volumekeys not seem to work with In Call volumes.
- also when you have a incoming call, the application seem to create some problem receiving\ending call while using endkey\sendkey\onscreen slider. I tested the application on HTC phone canvas from rhodium 1.90 build (cant remember the version of the package )
other than these we have an excellent application
keep up the great work!
Thanks for your reply. I've added your finds to the issues/todo list.
I'll have a look tomorrow.

Sure, this is a regular cab installer, while here you can find the corresponding installation package.
Hi, just wanted to say thank you for this great little app.
It's been really useful. The only thing I would like to see added is
support for the standard htc youtube app. Since it doesn't seem to work well together. Volume goes from nothing to loud and back with no
small volume steps in between. Although these small steps do show in your app it doesn't effect the volume like it should.
Looking forward to future updates.

Very nice app here! Already a keeper...
Would you mind posting a EVK installation package? I'm using KitchenPackageUpdater-1.12a to import cab but I can't get the icons in Start Menu... but it works out of the box, at least!

You just need to edit your app.dat to get it to show up in the start menu. When I made the cab into an EXT, the .lnk shortcuts were going to /windows/start menu when they should be going to /windows/start menu/programs. That is probably why everything worked, but you were unable to see the shortcuts in the start menu. I have attached an EXT package that should work, but I have not tested it.

WP Screenshot
Latest PC version: 0.2 | Latest phone version: 0.3
** About:
This is another Windows Phone Mango screenshot tool that works a bit differently from other implementation(s). It sends screenshots over the network to a PC application, so that you can instantly show your phone's screen on your monitor or projector.
** Usage:
Start "WP Screenshot.exe" on your computer and make sure that port 50560 is open (or simply allow the application to access the network when Windows Firewall pops up).
Start "WP Screenshot" on your Windows Phone device, enter the IP address of your computer (use local IP in case of running both parts on the same local network) and tap "Connect and start".
Now, when you press any of the selected buttons, a screenshot should be sent to your PC (there you can do some neat things with it, try CTRL+H).
When you want to stop the background worker, simply open the application again and tap "Stop".
** Current issues/limitations:
There can be some annoying lag when there is bad WiFi coverage.
It won't capture screens from games (XNA) and videos.
** Requirements:
developer unlocked Windows Phone (to deploy the application)
.NET Framework 4 (you need this if the PC application won't start)
** New in version 0.3:
ability to use volume buttons for taking screenshots (phone)
** New in version 0.2:
toast notification after 5 minutes of inactivity (phone)
autosave mode - screenshots get automatically saved into a desired folder (PC)
ability to stretch screenshot to fit to current window size (PC)
The screen capturing part is based on "The DllImport project (by fiinix)".
I am looking forward to all the feedback and I'll do my best to fix and improve this application in the future.
Suggestion : Auto Save to folder so if I want to take multiple screenshoot quickly I dont have to come to my desktop every time.
Worked over my Samsung Focus. And Many many thanks for this.
Another suggestion will be to turn off the background process if its idle for too long. Good if people forget to turn it off

After playing for couple of hours now. The shortcut for the server app doesn't work all the time. I had to try sometimes like 2-3 times to get it working.
Nice app
Thankx a lot man !!

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll include both in the next version.
About the shortcut... do you mean the hotkeys (CTRL+S,...) or something else? There can be some issues with detecting key combinations as you must hold down CTRL and then press AND release the other key while still holding CTRL down. I'll do my best to make this work as it should.
Yes the Hot keys aren't working properly. Also for the windows software,
1. The Window can be reduced in size.
2. You can set it sit in taskbar once auto save is included.

I can't get it to capture any screenshots on my HTC Titan. It connects, but half press of the camera button does nothing

Does it disconnect after pressing the camera button (does "Waiting for client...." appear?) or is there simply no picture on the PC?
Version 0.2 is here - autosave, inactivity notification.
My Suggestion.
1. Auto Save Location needs to configured everytime, not a good idea. We need settings page.
2. Notification should also disable the connection.
3. The Windows Size of the server software needs to be reduced. Takes much of screen
Rest works as stated. Thanks !!
Cool app ! I really like it.
A suggestion:
after taking a screenhot there should be a way to stop the capture process, maybe an automatic notification (stop capturing ? YES/NO).

Yes, it´s Jaxbot´s folder app, but I have added my own tile background icon...
Hey, this looks very good and would work for me (I've tried it), but since there's no camera button on my HD2 I can't use it. Is there any way to configure another button to do the same thing? (I'm afraid not...)
Anyway, will be featured in the portal!

Thanks I'll play with the volume keys next week. Maybe I can get the screenshot before music controls show up and make this at least partly usable on HD2.
Thanks a lot man! Do you think it would be possible to control it on the PC, that is, capture a screenshot using some keyboard shortcut or similar?
Very good app.....i like so much.....Thanks a lot!
Acouple Questions & sugjestions!
1.
I would think that the window on pc needs to be at 480x800 rez or...
800x480 & also a buton to switch betwen portret & landscape mode!
2.
I have no camira button on my htc hd2. How can I take pictures with this?
could you implement a small soft key overlay?
3.
I apsolutly love the diler pad its not so big as default & much better for what I am use to on cell phone I think I could text & dial better with it personaly I am very use to only the 9 buttons call me old fashen I gess but having the hole abc's with small buttons making it hard for me to text I would realy like to use it as default dialer for my phone and for texting to. Would you mind shareing the code for devs to cook with?
or is it public code I could use?

1. You can press CTRL+R to rotate current screenshot and later CTRL+D to fit window size to the actual screenshot size.
2. I have now added an option to use volume keys for capturing screenshots (version 0.3). All HTC HD2 users, please try this feature.
3. It's http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.textbox.inputscope(v=vs.95).aspx. In my case: <TextBox ... InputScope="TelephoneNumber" ... />
