I was tired of making shortcuts by manual editing, so I made this editor.
The program requires .NET Compact Framework 1 and it was tested on a HTC Magician with WM 2003SE and HTC Polaris with WM6. It has been reported to work on HTC Wizard with WM 2005. Please, feel free to post your experience with different device and operative systems.
Looks great!
I think Odeean did something similar a while back, but beautiful either way.

I tried it on my wizard - wm5 and the app would start but soon as i made any selection an error would come up. see jpg
Nice idea - would like to see working - i am fed up too of manual creation of shortcuts as i forget the syntax :wink:

Lol thanks - its now working. Will post later tonight my findings after testing.
Hi oruam57 for simple shortcuts program works fine.
More complex shortcuts e.g.
''\Program files\omapclock\omapclock.exe'' -clock 240 -launch ''\storage card\program files\TCPMP\player.exe'' -restore
your program when editing same lnk just shows ''\Program files\omapclock\omapclock.exe'' -clock 240 -launch in target path / parameters
the last section is missed out - i guess a bug?
even when i add last section manually it will not save it.
look forward to comments\update

Thanks oruam57 now works with the mentioned shortcut. How long can the parameters be? I would make it quite long to suit all circumstances if possible. When will the icon section be finished? Cheers

Good. The parameters can be as long as you like (at least in theory), the problem you found was due to a parsing bug, not to a length limit.
Redowload the current version, the icon browser is there (not fast but working).

The caching of browsed icons (no need to reload them every time if the file is the same), some more testing, then I will pack all in a cab. Thanks for your testing.
Just uploaded an update. Should be in 'release candidate' status.
Improvements: .bak file creation, cut/copy/past extended on all text boxes, browsed icon caching.

The backup is created only if you open an existing shortcut and it is saved in the same directory of the original with name <original name>.bak.lnk
Moreover, only the original is kept, that is if you open x.lnk, modify it and save, x.lnk contains the new shortcut and x.bak.lnk the original ones. From then on x.bak.lnk is not overwritten and when you are satisfied with x.lnk you should manually delete x.bak.lnk
Hope I was clear enough, English is not my mother tongue.

I'm on the minimalist side: no feature/code if not really required. I will put something in the readme of the install pack.
By the way, I made the editor because I, as an heavy shortcut user, really miss it and I expected that many people had the same problem. From the small number of download it seems not so.
Maybe MS was right (as usual) in not including one in Windows Mobile.
O man, thank you very much for this lovely product you’ve made.
I'm in love with it.

iCaller v0.1.0.3 alpha
Simple CallerID application which extends system default Incoming Call screen with full-sized pictures, additional contact information and fully customized interface.
Currently, it is an alpha version, which means that it may contain bugs and do not work correctly on some devices. Please give me the feedback, I'll be fixing issues.
You may get it also at my new home site
Features:
- Lightweight
- Expands default incoming call screen without affecting its behavior
- Full-sized contact picture
- Pictures can be stored on a Storage Card or in Pocket Outlook database
- Picture can vary for the same contact depending on its phone number (just name the picture with a number, e.g. 5554433.jpg)
- Customized interface based on HTML (using system HTMLView control, thanks for idea goes to mrproper)
ToDo:
- Screen lock functionality
- Speed improvements
- Bugfixing
Instructions:
- Unpack contents of the archive in a folder on your device, e.g. \Program Files\iCaller (do not forget to copy zlibce.dll too!)
- Check settings.ini - it is configured for English version of Windows Mobile OS, you may need to replace sSysCallerWndTitle option from 'Phone - Incoming...' to your localized name of system default Incoming Call window
- Launch iCaller.exe
For detailed instructions refer to readme.html
Note!
Stop and restart iCaller each time you modify the settings.ini file!
Thanks will test with manila about time just a simple fullscreen caller
Does not work with manila 2D as the manila caller id cuts Icaller out also the call delay is much worse on my 5-6 times before ring is herd ?

Haven't tested with Manila yet. Probably it will require modifying sSysCallerWndClass and sSysCallerWndTitle options in settings.ini to properly hide Manila CallerID. I'll investigate the delay issue too. Thanks for the feedback!
mmh, this is a feature that is build in s2u2 allready (runnes on any device, fullscreen), so where is the different if this is ready?
So this might only be usefull if there is really someone out there who does not use s2u2 , (maybe throttlelock users)

In fact, I've installed S2U2 and uninstalled it two days after, didn't like the weight and functional overload. So it's up to users to decide

Not to forget that iCaller works usefully on Smartphones whereas I, for one, have never gotten anything working with S2U2 on a Smartphone. Plus it's lightweight and since you're using the HTMLViewer that means it's also pretty configurable.
I've got a few ideas myself on themes for it...!

I assume you can put this in the startup drawer/folder or put a .lnk to it there to start this everytime the phone starts?

You say its customizable with graphics..Is this a whole skin/theme ability or just replacing already existing files ?
And is it possible to have gfx for tapped state as well ? And transparent PNG files ?
If so, I would be really interested in skinning it (once its stable and fast ^^).
And, maybe I get this wrong but what do you mean by "screen lock functionality" ?? Sounds like S2U2
regards,
Martin
mmh, its lightwight, of course because it has not much functions, so wait two weeks and we will see because it seems that there is a lock function coming too
The other thing is that you need this and a screenlocker application and a volume control application and and and. with s2u2 you can disable parts of programm. Just my thoughts about another calleer iD.
But maybe usefull for non touch devices or other lockers, as i said.
hey Schmidler, Oesterreich gehoert wieder zu Deutschland *kleiner Spass aus Bayern
Running it on ATT Tilt, stock 6.1 rom, with HTC Home Plugin. Works great so far. I like the HTML layout, it can be customized quite easily.
I have been looking for something like this for a while now, I'll test some more and report back.
yes, S2U2 already got a lot of functionality, but its true that it´s memory intesive.
[OFF-TOPIC] @bluemetalaxe: xD ja klar, Deutsches Reich nichwahr kennst ja hoffentlich http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGPGSyCreJA [/OFF-TOPIC]
athis is exactly what I have been looking for for a long time!!!
огромное спасибо!
Going to try on my wizard to see how it works. hopefuly it will rescale my outlook contact photos to something more reasonable.
edit:
Here is a smaller picture for the no caller id.
it is saved as a 2color png in 8bits
weighs less than a kb as oposed to the 7kb in the one you posted.
(This should make a lot the difference with speed as well)

I'm not using S2U2 or ThrottleLock, and I do find this application could be very useful.

i have to agree with you.. S2U2 is heavy and pointless for some people. i don't use it and nor need it. I'll be using iCaller, no doubt about it.

I think that the big difference is that it is so lightweight.
You can have as many pictures as you want for your people on storage card without making PIMVOL as huge as mine (1.5mb) and only for few contacts!
can you immagine if I had pictures for ALL of my 200+ contacts??? that would probably add up to 5mb!
Hi Burt,
Installed on my HTC Touch on program files , but still getting the small screen with the picture on the background.
How do i get rid of the small old screen showing the number & get only the new full screen.
thx.
here is what happened on my wizard:
installed ran testcalled from a friends phone.
at the top of the screen I got 3 pictures (same ones from my outlook. under it the blue screen. under that the standard windows mobile bubble.
I think that there needs to be some kind of a scaling engine for outlook photos. at least double size. and the background needs to change from the scarry blue to a black or very dark grey.
looking forward to an update. thanks for trying to tackle a problem that many cant seem to care about

another Titanium Application launcher
easy to add and remove application
you need install mortscript first
and ready your application icon,
i have include some default icon in Program Files\CLauncher\Icon
CLauncher
v0.1 12-5-09
6 pages
All Resolution (but need to test)
v0.2 15-5-09
Option Add/Remove Page - Max 9 pages
2 option for select app
1. choose from list (only select .exe file)
2. manual input (any file with full path eg. \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk , but keep in mind you need start by "\")
fix the problem about update icon (i hope )
v0.21 16-5-09
fix bug on Add/Remove Page
v0.25 14-7-09
add option to choose .exe or .lnk
CSettings
v0.1 14-7-09
same as CLauncher-v0.25
CGames
v0.1 14-7-09
same as CLauncher-v0.25
this must install to Main Memory
Nice, but you can add second line with some application description
where to download please?
I'd like to try it, where can I download it??
No download link
download link
sorry, forgot to upload the file
pls check 1st post
it is working on wqvga, confirmed. But a suggestion would be that it can load .lnk too, not just .exe because activesync for example needs to call /remote as an additional parameter to repllog.exe to start in window and not just as a process
EDIT: until then everybody who wants to use activesync in claunch just go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CLaunch\Page that activesync is supposed to be\ and edit ACTIONURL with this string ':MSSYNCAPP' with no quotes
EDIT2: bug report: it seems that it doesn't refresh icons after the first choice. For example i had resco explorer on page1 and activesync on page2 but i decided to switch places for them and now resco has activesync icon and activesync resco's. That wouldn't be weird if i didn't manually chose new icons for each page but they just stay the same. Only after i edited registry and on page1 as an icon put App2 and vice versa it switched them but that shouldn't be like that so I am searching for the problem a little further. If chris doesn't do it first, ofc
LAST EDIT, i promise here are 6 fixed scripts. They have a delay when changing icon, but at least they work now
guess i lied, another edit, scripts now refresh themselves, no delay
Nice app... This was the exact launcher I was looking for.
I have an elfin (qvga) with dsixda's latest 6.5 beta rom and so far its working perfectly (I only tried to add apps and assign icons to them)
the only thing I noticed so far is that if you install it in your storage card you are not able to add any apps to it later (you get an error msg with a countdown button, don't remember the msg now).
great job..
another great work.thanks!

I have tried the other AppLauncher posted on this forum but it just doesn't
seem to be working with Miri's ROM so just wanted to make sure before I install
Hello guys...
as some of you were asking me, how to permanently put QuickMenu in the place of honeycomb, with a RAM return, I'm putting for you a ready to use package for that.
So - first, we're just installing QuickMenu. Easy, normal process, I'm using the same package for two years already Be warned though it requires DelayedExec app, as QM was sometimes causing some problems during a cold boot. If you don't have it, or don't want it, just re-edit LNK file to remove its usage.
Then - it seems QM can't capture "start" word under wm6.5, so we're using a great app named "StartButton" and set it to capture this word and call QM.
Then - hey! Where're some of the icons from the settings menu?... Well - remember some of them were out of their folders? We need to get them back...
In the end... we want to get rid of the honeycomb itself, as it's still sitting in our RAM - almost 2MB of RAM on QVGA! It's a nightmare... how to do that? Easy... just edit proper CPR files and set them to... null text this way system won't be able to prepare a whole scene and won't load those files - returning you all this RAM. Be careful - it's prepared for QVGA, so for other resolutions, you have to re-edit this file and change the filenames in it!
The package contains all those things - preconfigured QuickMenu, fixed settings items in their proper folders (done with a provXML file), preconfigured StartButton and special initflashfiles.txt file, changing the CPR files to the empty ones.
Enjoy your brand new, fast and full of RAM WM6.5!
DOWNLOADS:
1. For the kitchen:
The package in the EXT format for ervius' kitchen can be downloaded from here.
2. For normal users:
2a. twopumpchump compiled a CAB installation, it's here. It fits all the resolutions!
2b. jfrm reedited this CAB, so it doesn't remove the honeycomb. So, if you want, just quit QM and there's your honeycomb back! It's here.
2c. Another version from jfrm - tapping on logo will pop QM, while tapping on the "Start" word will pop honeycomb. It's here.
Man!
last night i was trying to make this works over the START word in task bar... this is great...!!!
BTW do you know how to remove the titanium?
I dont want the whole files, but if i disable chome in sys or bronze or bronzeEA the start wont works and the devices freeze by itself... maybe we couldnt and just need to disable it in today settings and thats all! but it seems that the semitransparent bars gets lost... in that way we can have a full vanilla lots of storage and great RAM with the speed of WM6.5 and its awsome scrolling.
Nice work dude! will try it on my next release as a ultra vanilla!

hi friend, ltns just tried the new "old style" start menu and seems to be working great. i did get the popup for DelayedExec since i dont have it in my rom, but i can fix that np. im partial to 6.5 start menu myself, but do you mind if i make a cab, or you can if you want, so some of my users can have this on my 6.5 roms? alot of people still want the old 6.1 menus and this would be great for them

Just remember to change those cpr files to empty ones, so it can free up ram.
why?
This is to have more RAM but...
The quick menu works fine,
that popup error that twopumpchump say stops to show on in second softreset
but can you see the bronzeres error? both plugins... weather and some other in blank and i have only 12mb of ram... could it be due to lzx compression ?

Install this one as normal and then manually edit StartMenu_Global_*.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_*.cpr files
Maybe someone will reedit this cab and include a full set of cpr files. Or maybe TPC has already done this.. just check it

I have been thinking to much before going to 6.5 due the lost of QMenu and WkTask. So for me your trick is a very, very good news. Thank you very much.
Anyway, Is it possible to keep both menus working?
In my old Hermes 6.1 I have Original Star Menu set to Ms logo Long Press and QMenu to normal press, and now with the huge memory of my new Touch Pro, will be nice to keep both. One for finger use and the other one for stylus time.
Thanks for the effort.

Yes - just don't overwrite those cpr files...
Wonderfull,
I have downloaded your file, but this look like a cocking packet...
How should I install it in a working rom?
Now it works perfect, only thing is I dont see the time and clock in settings anywhere.

It's because I put it into personal section, and not to system, as it was originally I prefer it that way.
Sorry to bother you again, but I'm afraid that the cab is going to overwrite the cpr files and make me loose the HoneyComb.
It that right?
Remember my fist question here, I want to keep both menus working.
remember to search
Think about this
the cab file can be open with winrar or cabmanager or some more apps so... open the cab file and delete the cpr files... save it and you are good to go...
Be cool man our developers woks hard to get more power here.
Sorry, I don't want to disturb.
My english is far from good and maybe there is some missunderstood.
Will try this way. Thanks.
Black Rhodium 3G Dialer for VGA devices
Update: New signed cab to resolve issues with certificate store and thus execution problems
First of all thanks to amarullz for initially porting the Rhodium dialer to VGA - well almost - as it requires the phcanvga.exe for resizing the dialer screens on the fly which sometimes requires killing cprog.exe and phcanvga.exe with restarting it afterwards to get the sizing correct. Nevertheless on his initial work this cab is based.
Basically what I did was the following:
1. Changed all phone and call log graphics to a nice black/dark color.
2. Added German translation files for the dialer.
3. And most important: Fixed the issue that all newer dialers at the moment have when switching to black, namely changing in call screen text for name and number to white. (This was actually the hardest and most time consuming as it required disassembling and understanding phcanhtc.dll. At the end this took me quite a week or so .)
Okay, and now here's the cab for installing (at least on the Touch Pro with Manila 2.1 installed as this was the device I could test it on).
Here's the english language add-on pack for the dialer as requested
For installation you might have to kill the cprog.exe and eventually the phcanvga.exe process(es) beforehand as otherwise the cab installation routine might not be able to overwrite several files. (I'm not sure about this as I did not really test this).
Pictures of it below!
Anyone who likes the work may feel free to donate a little.
any pictures of this?

As the dialer is not really ported to VGA as mentioned above but resized on-the-fly you might be successful in using it when deleting the phcanvga.lnk from \windows\startup folder and killing the phcanvga.exe process or soft resetting.
Without a running phcanvga.exe the size should be correct for WVGA - I encourage you to try it and give feedback here if it worked.

The link works. You were just trying while I was still changing something on the server - didn't think that the minute I posted here someone would try to download it!

thank you...ok i tested
on my touch pro 2...it did change everything to black.. but 2 things

1. Yes, I know, since I made the cab for the Touch Pro, I included phcanOverbmp with added battery level icons. If you don't like it just delete/overwrite the phcanOverbmp.dll in \windows.
2. Uptop? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by that (I even don't exactly know what the word means and my dictionary doesn't list it ). Concerning the scroll bars: phcanvga.exe is definitely not running? Well, then it seems as if it does not work for WVGA. If you are familiar with replacing single (locked) files in the \windows folder and making registry entries you could try the following:
- First uninstall the cab and reset to get back to your original dialer.
- Extract the contents of the cab to a folder.
- Then only replace/copy phcanImages.dll and all the *.bmp and *.png files from the extracted cab in/to the \windows folder. (You could start by only replacing phcanImages.dll and the graphics beginning with Dialer_ and Assets_, this should suffice for a test.
- Change the following registry entries under HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE to 0x00ffffff: CallStateRGB,CallerNameRGB, CallerNumberRGB, textForegroundColor.
- Change HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\backgroundColor to 0x0.
This could give you the desired black dialer skin. But note that if this works the problem you have with the cab is caused by phcanhtc.dll and thus this solution will not give you white in call screen text as this requires modification of the said DLL.

Get a taskmanager (e.g. fdcsoft taskmanager, which is free and imho very good), look for the two processes and kill them. (phcanvga.exe can also be killed most times by executing it again, though)
Just curious: Did you try installing without killing them and it did not work?

Hi guys,
I am trying to make a lockscreen and I was wondering how to remove the arrows on the windows lockscreen on CHT2. It would be great if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance,
G
EDIT: Thanks to santod040 I was able to make a cab... it's attached on this post.
have a read of the lockscreen link in my sig

Thanks but how do I get it to work for CHT2 lockscreen and not the original windows one...
sorry, not looked at the difference. if its still a .cpr file then its the same.
Im assuming you mean the "windows" cht lockscreen, not the manila or hd mini.....
I think this option must still utilise elements of the traditional wm lockscreen (those mentioned in sams link) and just skin the slider because Ive never come across those arrows in any of the files installed by CHT.........
You'd probably get an answer to this one over in themes and apps or even in the CHT thread.
So I've been checking out all the png files (and soon the manila files) to see which ones are arrows and I am changing them to transparent images - I hope that will work.
Anyways I tried skinning already - that didn't work. Lets hope I can find the image lol
They're not in with the cht files...
I've been through em all. Unless they are tucked away in an m9 or luau file but I haven't noticed any referring to the lockscreen.
Sam's link is the key to this one I think.
Chipped From The Bunker Via A Sandwedge
So I haven't been through the cht files but I'll trust you. In the png files in the windows folder there are identical arrows but after changing them they still show up. I tried playing around with the cpr file and I think that you guys are right - But I think Co0kie made his own cpr file which I also cant find...
Wait no it cant be the cpr files - In order to change a cht lockscreen slider you must add a manilla file - but ever cpr file says the slider exists as \windows\slider or something like that with a png at the end!
Ill ask around for an answer to this one because its bugging the hell out of me now

Thanks man that would be awesome if you could find the answer!!!
So, Conan asked me if I would look at this thread for you.
What I will tell you, is that the .cpr file is mostly a map of the lockscreen layout.
It determines sizes and positions of each element and can be easily edited with Chome Editor.
Although the images you seek are simple .png's within the Windows folder.
Should be named:
htc_arr_loop_r4.png
htc_arr_loop_l4.png
Both are 58x26
Hope that helps.
Thanks so much for that man
Was driving myself nuts looking for those pesky little arrows

That doesnt affect CHT's lockscreen - I already changed those to blank pngs and nothing changed... any other ideas?

Hmm, ok, then I must dig a little.
I will get back to you on this again then.
Sorry about that, I thought for sure they were shared by both.
I will check it on mine before posting further.
So, I was not clearly thinking.
Inside CHT are these images.
60EB9E41_manila and 48AC377B_manila
The others were for WinMo's own lockscreen images, and there are more of them for the notifications, etc,.

I'll check that out later today - but if that works... you are AMAZING!
ooops
So they are in the CHT cab after all ??
Seems my cab extraction has lost a few files somewhere along the line.........
Sorry about that.....
*Hangs head in shame* lol
Ok santod thanks sooo much! You were right those are the files. For everyone here who wants the cab here it is...
