Along similar lines to S2U2, I've decided to make Slide2Shutdown! There's nothing special to configure, just install it and go. All resolutions should work fine (make sure you download QVGA for QVGA or WQVGA devices), but I only have the ability to test it on a VGA device so I can't guarantee how well it works in other resolutions. It also supports both portrait and landscape seamlessly.

There are four CABs available to install. They require version 3.5 of the .NET Compact Framework, the program won't run without it.
Slide2ShutdownSetup_v1.1.CAB just installs the application without mapping it to the power key. QVGA/WQVGA version.
Slide2ShutdownPowerKeySetup_v1.1.CAB installs the application, and maps it to the power key so that it will automatically launch when you hold down the power key. QVGA/WQVGA version.
There's no elaborate skinning method built-in, but the graphics are all stored in the \gfx\ folder and you can change them at will. Just replace the BMP files with your own files of the same dimensions.
Multiple language support is now available. You will find the available languages in the \lang\ folder. To enable your chosen language, open the txt file and change the first line to say "1" instead of "0".
Languages available:
Chinese (thanks winderp!)
Czech (thanks RDT!)
Danish (thanks TorbenKB!)
French
German (thanks basthet!)
Greek (thanks dancer_69!)
Italian (thanks fuorionda!)
Polish (thanks CZiPEN!)
Russian (thanks Alexx~!)
Spanish (thanks PabloMDiez!)
It should be pretty straightforward to create your own languages. Create a file called "lang.yourlanguage.txt". Make the first line 0. The second, third and fourth lines should be "slide to shutdown", "restart" and "sleep" respectively, and the last line should be the text for the cancel button. Please post your language file if you translate it, and I'll add it to the next version!
Changelog:
v1.1, 31/08/2009:
FIXED: HTC devices should shutdown properly now. HUGE thank you to DaveShaw for helping me with this. I don't think Omnia devices will though. Please send me a PM if you know how to rectify this.
ADDED: Support for multiple languages. French and German (thanks basthet!) included. See above for information on enabling this.
v1.0, 30/08/2009:
Initial release
BUG: Shutdown slider doesn't currently work well on many HTC phones (it only suspends), I'm looking into a fix.
Thanks for your great work!
I will report it, if it has bug.
Great idea
Great. Thanks a lot
QVGA/WQVGA would be nice.
I'd like to have this mapped to my power key on my Omnia...
cheers.

WQVGA would be awesome.
Nice Idea.
Wating for QVGA.
Suggestion:
1.At top:Center text:"Slide2Shut".
2.Move the three slide to centre.
3.Add some background.
4.Full Screen.
Very useful application!
It works well in Touch HD, except the bug you already mentioned.
I would like to ask you to add 'slide to screen off'.
Thank you!
Good news! It turns out that it was easier to add QVGA and WQVGA support than I thought it would be. I just added QVGA cabs to the first post, let me know if you have any problems since I can only test on emulators and not real devices.
Very nice! I'm especially fond of the dimmed background.

Working great on my Omnia which is WQVGA. Thanks for the quick conversion.
Is slide to off supposed to turn the device off completely? If yes then that is not working for me either but it suspends and resets.
Glad to hear it's working well for you!
Yep, it's supposed to turn off entirely. Unfortunately, HTC devices seem to have their own method of shutting down, and the method I tried to use didn't work. I haven't been able to find any information on how to do a proper shutdown for HTC devices, but I've been looking and asking around and I'll implement a bugfix as soon as I figure it out.

OK. My Omnia is from Samsung so I imagine the fix for HTC might not work for me. I'll look around for the needed info on the Omnia.
I just tried the version tied to the power button also but the power button option does not work for me. Perhaps a different button location for the Omnia.
The power button CAB just adds a shortcut called Long_Power.lnk to the \Windows\ directory. I guess this doesn't work with the Omnia? I'd be happy to fix that too if someone knows of a more universal way to do it. I'm new to all of this and still firmly in novice territory as a programmer, so I'm way behind everyone else here.
If you have Advanced Config installed, are you able to go to Menu> More settings> Key mapping and map "Long press Power key" to it?

No. Long press Power key is grayed out.
Sorry, I'm out of ideas then. Until I can find a solution, you could try AE Button Plus to remap the power button. The trial version will work, if you don't mind a splash screen when it starts.
One more thought, do you already have something like psShutXP or xdaShutdown installed and mapped to the power key? It's possible they may be overriding it.

I do have psShutXP installed. I'll see about removing that.
Removing psShutXP did not help.

I've made 2 CABs for an easy switch between keyboard layouts.
This might be helpful to you if:
You have a Touch Pro device (The device on the left side of the picture), you've flashed to a Fuze ROM and now the keyboard does not function properly - download and install Shlomki TouchPro Keyboard in Fuze ROM.cab
You have a Fuze device (The device on the right side of the picture), you've flashed to a Touch Pro ROM and now the keyboard does not function properly - download and install Shlomki Fuze Keyboard in TouchPro ROM.cab

(thanks JZ SmartMort for the ref for the pic)
Notes:
-SOFT RESET YOUR DEVICE WHEN DONE TO FINISH THE INSTALLATION!
-Not anything revolutionary, it just an easy and comfortable way to change the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CWSLayout to the right value, that's all (0 for Touch Pro, 1 for Fuze).
-These CABs are uninstallable (use Settings -> System -> Remove Programs)
-I recommend including it on your UC setup, this way you don't have to worry about installing it every time you flash to a ROM that's not made for your keyboard layout
-Install on your own responsibility

Hacking keyboard values...
So you're changing where the device looks for keyboard map is that correct?
What about changing the actual map it's self? Is there a way to change specific values of each of the keys? The Fuze map for instance doesn't have a control key, and it would be great if you could change one of the other keys, say the right shift key, to act as a control key. Far easier for keyboard short cuts, (ctrl + c & v )
Is there a way to accomplish this by changing a registry value else where? Or change a file map someplace that maps each specific key?
Thanks!

try AE Button Plus, i've used it in my HTC Universal days...
Cool, the cab didn't work, but the reg fix did the job. Quick and effective. Thanks.
TP to Fuze keyboard worked great on the PROven rom. I was using the regedit before hand, but this is definitely an easier way to go about it.

Touch Pro and Fuze have different keyboard layouts. The two CABs allow you to switch between the layouts.
Here is the source of the info: http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/11/12/review-htc-touch-pro-sprint-and-htc-fuze-att/
Screenshot of two keyboards attached. On the left side is Touch Pro, on the right is the AT&T Fuze. Numbers on the top row of Touch Pro is the big difference. It might be useful to have this reference on the first post.

Noob Needing Help with Keyboard
I have an ATT Fuze that I just updated with [ROMeOS²][ENG][15FEB|READY] v1.81.1 FINAL (20764). My keyboard layout is now messed up and I found this thread without problems. However I cannot figure out how to install the two files contained in the download. I also tried to edit the registry but I do not have a CWSLay option to change. I had absolutely no problems flashing the HardSPL or the ROMeOS rom but this has me stumpped. I have literally spent hours trying to figure this out yesterday and today. I come with hat in hand, shamefully asking for help.
thanks
@[email protected]:
Haven't tried them yet but if they are like other CAB files, you should be able to copy the appropriate CAB to your device Storage or Storage Card. Once copied, you should be able to use File Explorer on your device to click (double-click) the CAB file ... which should trigger the install.
If the install doesn't trigger, it could indicate that your device is preventing unsigned CAB files from being installed.
HTH,
Thanks hilaireg,
I had tried that at the very first and when I double click on the _setup.xml file it goes straight into a text editor. It doesn't even try to install. I also downloaded a program CabviaActive Sync but that didn't work either. When I click on the file FUZEKE~1.00 it says it can't be opened because it is not associated with a program. Believe it or not I have installed other programs and things on my phone in the last 3 weeks or so that I have had the phone but as I said, I'm stumpped.
Guys, responding to this query:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3233602#post3233602
I'm releasing a solution to allow you to remap the double tap and press and hold functions of the wired headset on the Blackstone. This may well work for other recent HTC devices, but given that I dropped out about the time of the dinosaurs, I'm not up to date with their peculiarities. Try it, it can't do much harm...
Moving on:
Ok, I haven't publicly released anything for a long, long time, so herewith, an unfinished portion of VJPoOf (which stands for VJPowerOff).
<the science bit>
VJPoOf is basically a selection of my VJBrisk tools, updated to pass command lines, and searching for only specified target .exe and .lnk files.
</the science bit>
HTC have made it quite easy to override the redial and voice dial functions from the hard wired headphones. Basically, change the following applications in the\windows folder
\windows\redial.exe for the redial command
\windows\SDDialer.exe for the Cyberon voice dialer
An easier way to do this is to extract the zip enclosed (on your pc); then:
Step 1: Drop the files Redial.exe and SDDialer.exe into your \windows\ folder.
They will overwrite the original HTC apps, but don't worry, just delete those two files to get the originals back. I also enclose the originals in the .zip.
Ok, so extract the two files into \windows\.
Step 2: Next, somewhere on your PDA, find the app you want to launch instead of the double tap or long hold on the headset.
Make a shortcut to that app (use gsfinder or similar on your PDA). Then, you must rename the shortcut VJRedial.lnk or VJSDDialer.lnk as appropriate.
Step 3: Copy these two shortcuts into your \windows\ folder, and hey presto, customisable headset commands.
I have one configured to toggle the device lock state, and the other to launch a music player.
As I said, this is a pre-release of a portion of VJPoOf, which will allow you to customise most of the other buttons on the Blackstone as well, short and long power button presses, red button etc. Might do some other stuff too, later
Let me know if your device poofs into smoke.

UPDATE:
Just for fun, I've released another tiny app from this suite I made to shut the Blackstone down instantly. It might work on other HTC phones, untested.
There will be no warnings, shutdown animations or anything, just instant power off (not standby), so please ensure you've finished working on whatever is open on your phone.
VJF-Off (VJFastOff)
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjpoof/vjfastoff.exe
Does this mean that whatever I set the "hold call" button to do, it has to be the same? For instance I want that call button to be set to rotate screen and the press and hold on the headset to be MSVC and on the bluetooth to be MSVC. Is that possible?
What is the "hold call" button? How do you achieve that? Wired headset single click etc?
There are two distinct actions created by the wired headset - double click (redial), and press and hold (voice dial).
Both of these functions can be remapped to separate replacement functions.

@egzthunder1 - great picture! Covers every eventuality...
It's nice to be back. I've been lurking for a few days - I got a Blackstone last week, got it unlocked, and rapidly un-installed all of the Touch-Slo stuff.
It's nice to be hacking again, 4 IDA windows disassembling, a hex-editor and rom dumps scattered across my desktop - feels just like the old days!

If you want to have some fun, check out in the BA section (yes my BA is still alive and kickin!). One of the devs (sun_dream) has ported WM6.5 (or so it seems) although it is only an early beta (fast and very stable though). You could try to port it to the Blackstone and maybe even help these guys with the cHome app (codename Titanium). Good Luck!
Hi,
Sorry if my question is a newbie question (because I am one !), but when I try this one my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone), I can't copy the files in windows folder.
It tells me "Access denied" (in fact "Accès refusé" in French) when I want to copy your Redial.exe.
Is there "something" to unlock "somewhere" ?
Thank you
What are you using to copy the files?
If you use your PC, activesync, explore the PDA, and then find the \windows folder. Just drag the redial.exe file into \windows\.
If that doesn't work, please let us know what phone you're using, and if you've used anything to remove the security settings.
V
Hi Vijay, maybe you can help us; I have a wired remote control W100 for answer calls and control music player, but only works with WMP or AudioManager, can you make one app to intercept the signals of wired remote control w100 and use this signals to control another music player?
Thanks for your reply

My Phone is HTC Touch HD (Blackstone).
I haven't used anything to remove the security settings.
Maybe that's the problem ? Maybe by default there's no authorization to modifiy Windows folder ? What should I use to change this ?
Thanks
Ok, but I have a E100 wired remote control and it behaves a bit differently. Any ideas?
@ryomahino and @[email protected]_:
a long time back I wrote some hacks for the bluetooth headset, and believe that they can be expanded to redirect control functions of the wired headset.
I'll have to see if I can get hold of one - know anywhere I can get them cheap? The wife will have my cajones if she finds me buying more phone stuff!
@DeepShark - I'm not sure why you can't do that:
I've got an orange HTC blackstone, which was locked to Orange, but I got it unlocked. Then, I just ran the Modaco "Remove Security" cab to remove security warnings etc. I don't know if that changes things - I've never had much trouble overwriting in the \windows\ folder.
Try using GSFinder or similar (on your phone), and copy the file (the modified redial.exe), and then navigate to \windows\, and paste it into \windows\.
It should overwrite the old one.
Let me know if that helps.
V
@vijay555
Thanks for your advices but it still doesn't work...
I have installed GSFinder (nice tool !) and try again the copy : doesn't work.
Then I can see the proprties of redial.exe. It says "read only". When I try to change it, it says that it's impossible "these attributes cannot be changed".
I think it's maybe because it is written "Application (in ROM)", no ?
I have try also the removesecurity.cab but it changes nothing.
Am I alone to have this problem ? :-(
I really want to succeed because I very often redial somebody without really wanting it (because I press the button unvolontary).
Thanks for your help !
Could somebody else try and see if it works for them?
@DeepShark - you don't need to change the file attributes etc of the files in \windows\ - you can normally just write over a file in \windows\ with a replacement, and the original will "disappear", (as it's in rom, not really replaced or deleted), and will reappear when you remove the fake redial.exe.
I'd be grateful if someone else can try with their phones - my phones are always heavily modified so not the best test cases. Please describe any success/failure and how your phone has been changed.
@DeepShark -what rom and operator are you on? What country?
V
ROM : 1.14.406.3 (22273) FRE
Country : France
Operator : Bouygues Telecom
STOP SEARCHING ! It works !!!
I don't know why, the copy now works. Maybe it's because I have do a soft reset a few minutes only...(?)
Thanks a lot for your patience Vijay555 ! Now I will do the following operations (I have prefered immediatly tell you that the copy has worked!)
Cool, when I press twice the button, it doesn't redial the last number now !!! This will avoid a lot of wrong calls I make very often !
A last question : in fact I don't want to make another action on the "double click" of the button. My wish is to do nothing at all in this case.
Now I have made no program in your .lnk file, so I get an error on my screen. Do you know a program I can call which do nothing ? (I know, it's strange but I hope you understand).
In the other case, I will keep your error message : it's better than make a wrong call !!
Thanks for this useful program you have made !
Try this one.

Yeah, great
Thanks a lot, I can double click on the button and nothing happens, and no error message too !
Good luck if you try to do the full audio/voice interface !!!
Hi Vijay,
So what does this do that simply changing any 2 .exes, to 'redial.exe' & 'SDDialer.exe', & putting them into windows not do? (hopefully that makes sense).
I guess this must be just a small part of more to come?
Also when are you going to update your site?
ZoomKey SIP for Windows Mobile
ZoomKey is intended to make the keyboard easier for use with the thumbs/fingers on the smaller screens, by combining two keys together. Once you press on one of the "dual keys", it will zoom in. Whilst your finger is still on the key, slide it to the left side or the right side of the enlarged key. When you lift your finger it will enter the key your finger was on.
Warning: This is currently an Beta version
Whilst I have taken care to test it on ROMs with the Windows Mobile SDK, and also my own phone, there may still be bugs, and it's still not quite polished up yet. This software comes with no warranty.

Hope you find it useful
Known Bug List
Critical : Unsure how to replicate, but it SIP panel wouldn't refresh, it also prevented any dialogs from showing on the system (Had to remove battery to power down) Pretty sure this was linked to the GDI memory leak
Medium : SIP keeps hiding whilst typing (Reported by: pmprog, Other users affected: none reported)
look promising, going to try asap
i love the idea, and need a more finger friendly imput method
(i am a bit bored of touchpal ^^)
ty
installed in device memory, seem to work
it could be more finger friendly then the ordinary two touck/ button (like compact qwerty in touchpal or htc kbd or cliquick)
but maybe we need bigger popup for the selection(slide) of the letter to chose
sorry for my explain, my english is so sad ^^
but it is really a cool idea, keep up the dev!
Thanks for giving it a play, and the feedback.

I wanted to try and keep the "touch count" low to keep the speed of key up. I guess it could always be a configurable option.

Originally, I planned the zoomed key to take up the whole of the SIP panel area; but I thought this would require you to move your finger too much. Again, maybe I could add a config option to let you pick a "full zoom" mode.

I'm also adding an option so you can set a custom height for the SIP area. So if you have a WQVGA, you can allocate more space to the SIP making it even easier, but reducing it to save space on a normal QVGA.
What about multi-language support?

Thanks for your feedback.I've added your request to the ToDo list. It shouldn't be too difficult to implement, although I'll need to modify my key mapping file format; no big deal though.
Does ZoomKey work alright with the Russian characters? I know it should do, but I haven't actually tested it myself.
Yes, works well and quickly! There is one more request, add, please, charset change by the button.
I'm sure I replied to this once before. Don't know where my post is though.

MMAppLauncher is a full Start Menu and Settings replacement similar to Android. It does more than just replace your original, boring start menu. It keeps track of your most 20 recent run apps, as well as allowing you to save an app as favorite. Another unique feature that MMAL has to offer is the ability to run any process (similar to Run under Windows) with given arguments. On top of the cool features mentioned, MMAL also allows you to modify any shortcut name and icon of your choice with a few touches of your finger tip.
Features:
Full Start Menu replacement
Keep tracks of 20 recent run apps
Save apps as favorite for easy access
Run processes similar to Windows Run (supports arguments)
Full Settings replacement
Requirements & Supports:
.NET Compact Framework 3.5
Windows Mobile 6.x Professional
QVGA, VGA, WVGA, and Square Screen Support
Landscape Support
AppToDate Support
Version 1.0:
1.0.100901
No limitation.
Wow great! But would it be possible to integrate a black or darker background? The white is really bright
I'll be loading this tonight and will report any bugs. One question though, does it support folders? Thanks!
Great Idea! I'll test this and send my feedback.
I'm a fan of all your apps bro!
Nice job.
-------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
My Feedback:
Scrolling is smooth.
The idea of "Rounded gray boxes" is great.
The last tab does not work and app closes with "ArgumentNullException".
My Suggestions:
- Maybe implanting some kind of cache for shortcuts reduces the time when app starts on reboot.
- It would be nice to allow user to create groups or folders for apps and be able to organize them.
- For users with many application shortcuts a "Quick Search" function or an "alphabetical selector" (like the one in Manila contact manager) is really time-saving.
- "Skin" support will also be cool!
Does it disable the WM 6.5(.x) start menu?
Looks like a decent implementation. Nice work.
Will report back my experience with it.

Hmm that's strange for the ArgumentNullException. I've tested on stock rom and stock emulator 6.5 and 6.5.x. They work fine
I like the skin and cache suggestion. But when the app starts up it still needs to read from the cache to memory which still takes time.
You can add your apps to favorite to easier searching.

This part is not working for me.
It overrode the Start Menu one time and then would no longer open after that.
Neither this app, or the WM Start Menu.
Although it's possible, that there may be a conflict with the new WM Start Menu softkey in CHT 2.0? Maybe something to look at anyhow.
Nice Beta app. otherwise. Also, not sure what the last icon on the bottom bar is(settings?), but it crashes with an exception for me.

This looks SWEET
I'll try this program, looking for an good Start Menu alternative (since it eats so much RAM)
My ROM: TouchPro2 Simplicity 21679 - 6.5.X with CHT installed (not cooked in)
My comment:
Played with it. After installing it seems to work pretty smooth.
It takes some time before all programs shows up but I think that's because my start menu folder is to full.
The start menu overide only works when the program is already active (process is open). It's posible to use AMEBA for this one.
CHT button settings that probaly solve your problem with CHT (i know the button is ugly, just to get the idea).

The NETCF error, it comes when I play with the start menu, a soft-reset didn't help. I'm sure that NETCF is installed, because when I trying to install it says there's already a newer version installed. GOT ANY IDEA?
.
Disabling the standard start menu:
This is all before i've installed the cab to disable the standard start-menu.
Installing the cab doesn't change anything, hard to tell if it free some RAM.
Afther that I enabled the Start Menu button (softkey) by adjusting the following registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Bubble Tiles]
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000000
"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:00000000
When the buttons are visible again they don't have any function
After all that i've used AMEBA to start MMAppLauncher when I press the Start Menu and it works.
The start-menu hardwarekey is easy to adjust in the regular button settings.
After all this configuring/tweaking:
No matter if the program is started already or if i'm in CHT or not, MMAppLauncher will start when i hit the start button.
Hopefully this testing and adjusting helps you with this great app.

I see you listened to my suggestion for the app. Great work! I will install it today.
I would say that reproducing the start menu/programs folders with all the subfolder navigation would make this app stand out from the crowd. I would guess that there are many out there like me that have too many apps installed to not have them organized in subfolders.
Also, maybe a setting for how many columns of icons to show- 3 or 4 or 5 or maybe even 6 for those with larger screens.
Great work though. I really like your apps.
Announcing the release of my 1st Cookie Home Tab widget, a toggle switch.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Purpose:
For devices which do not have a dedicated DPad!
The toggle switch allows the user to switch the use of the volume button between controlling the volume and functioning as a Directional Pad.
Use:
The application controlled by the switch is VolDPad (with a small modification to report active status).
More details can be found on the original authors thread [beemerTPPC's VolDPad software]:
The operation of the volume buttons operate as the VolDPad app states:
-Volume UP is remaped to d-pad UP. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad DOWN. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Double click Volume UP is remaped to d-pad LEFT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad RIGHT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume UP is remaped to d-Pad RETURN with Hold.Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume DOWN is remaped to d-Pad RETURN.Does not support autorepeat.
-If a call is being established or is active the volume keys will behave normally.
Install Instructions:
This will install using the cab file attached, obviously you must be using CHT2 for it to work.
How was it made?
Coming soon...
Thanks to:

Yep, really annoys me that the touch HD doesn't have one either, kills a lot of games and easy web browsing.
It doesn't work on the HD2, I guess it's because of HTCVolumeControl ?
Oh, and since I installed HTC Volume_6.5.3 Fix.cab on the HD, I guess it won't work either...
Edit : confirmed ! It works well with old-fashioned WM volume control.
Well, now, I really don't know what's better !
New edit : the "double click" feature isn't handy. You usually press quickly to refine your move when you're near the target, and the "left" and "right" commands then trigger too easily (I think the delay needs to be reduced, so only a really fast double click will be taken in account).
Unfortunately, it looks like "left" and "right" actually mean "top" and "bottom" on PHM Regedit, and it's one where having a direction pad would be the most useful, as the tree upper part can't be scrolled with the finger !

Ok, above is working, but left the info here, since others may find it useful...
-------------
As I also use NRG rom, I've also had put HTC Volume_6.5.3 Fix.cab on my HD 1st to get "normal" volume operation and it works fine.
(I've not put any volume fixes or changes into the cab, so the switch assumes you have a normal volume control operation before installing).
I think there is a fix for HD2 on the original thread for VolDPad (although not checked if this replaces the VolDPad.exe). Let me know and I'll try to make a version for the switch (as it needs the registry key bit).
You should be able to test if VolDPad works by running the exe from the windows dir.
Note: It is not too easy to tell when it is operating or not on the original version, but with the version I created, you can monitor the following key:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\VolDPad.Active
-------------
I gave up worrying about the look of the volume control (i.e. htc, wm etc) since I rarely change it. I've put a screenshot of the one I have now, other than being full screen I don't see much issue with it. (Is yours any different?)
Perhaps I'll try another time to see what other volume control screens it does work with, but don't want to break it at the moment. I did have a nice one which was a single bar along the side, ah yes it was VolumeKeys (note the bar only pops up, it's not permanent or anything) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598997).
Yes, it could be a nice alternative,I'll test it.
About the HD2, the fix consists in a CAB containing a single file : HTCVolumeControl.dll.
When you install it, it just... Brings back the old fashioned WM volume, along with an ugly flat white speaker icon on the taskbar !
Well, of course, VolDpad works, then.
Still can't choose between what's best for me.
Now let's talk about something I've been wondering, so I put my hands it he registry as usual, and got some interesting, but uncomplete resuts...
Your new switch works really well, but it has to be used in a quicklink.
Since we have 8 switches setup as widgets on CHT2.0 default layout and I found handy to group all switches there instead of having them mixed with programs icons, I tried to place your switch there... And finally partially succeeded.
I actually understood the way Co0kie places elements on the screen, after having studied the way the other widgets were defined.
To start with, all the widgets and quicklinks are stored in the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Home] key, with numbered subkeys.
The "0" to "99" keys seem to be reserved for widgets, while the quicklinks actually begin with "100" (up to "211").
The first strange thing is their order : if you number the existing switches from top to bottom then left to right, you may guess they're numbered 0 to 7, right ? Well, in the registry, they're actually numbered 4,5,7,8,0,1,2,3 respectively !
Yes, the "6" is empty and not used.
But there's another weird thing : the "8" one, corresponding to the "Airplane mode", is duplicated in the "14" key ! I think I found there the explanation for a bug affecting recent Energy ROMs - and I will discuss that in detail in the Energy ROM topic. The only thing to know there is it's not a CHT bug, but some weird setup NRGZ28 put in his ROMs, and it's not the only one I found here !
OK, so let's go on about that switch.
So I could finally understand how Co0kie represented the coordinates for icons placement.
They consist on X position given from the first page leftmost position (probably fixed by one of these mysterious parameters in CHT Editor, I certainly don't want to fiddle with ), and an Y position given from the pages upper position (same punishment here).
Since the Y positions are positive upwards and the origine is fixed as some top margin, then icons positions vertical coordinates have to be negative. No really funny to handle in hexadecimal, but some regsitry editors (not all) fortunately translate them into short, readable negative number in decimal notation.
The X (horizontal) coordinate is stored in the "CHT_PosX" (dword) value (not a surprise here).
Quicklinks don't have to worry about coordinates : this value is always set to 0 for them ; but widgets must have X and Y position defined... Except that Co0kie obviously kept older versions format, and there's no "CHT_PosY" value !
Instead, the value responsible for quicklink activation is used, sot the Y coordinate is stored in the "IsSet" (dword) value !
OK, some other values are used too, such as "HomeServiceType"=dword:0000000C identifying a toggle switch rather than a single actions icon as for instance "Restart" ("HomeServiceType"=dword:0000000E), but now we've managed to figure out how to display a widget, so let's try...
After some trial and errors, I finally could display the switch in the first rcolumn and under the second row.
But... It's not working ! When you press the icon, it animates correctly as when you click on any active icon, but it won't launch VolDpad, so of course, the switch won't toggle according to the registry key you added.
Widgets actually don't use the "ExePath" (REG_SZ) value. They're declared somewhere as widgets, not standard shortcuts, and just ignore the link to the program.
That's actually fortunate, as it could have led to some problems, due to the second bug NRGZ28 issued in his ROMs (explanations in the topic : the widgets actually contain the links to the missing quicklinks everyone reported last weeks) !
But it doesn't help me to have your switch acting as a widget.
You declared the new button by adding this line in the registry :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHTI.AddonLinks.Slot0"="\CHTAddons\CHTAddon_VolDPadSwitch"
So I tried to add this one, following the official CHT widgets how-to :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot0"="\CHTAddons\CHTAddon_VolDPadSwitch"
But this is where I finally failed : adding this line just crashes Sense !
Of course, if you have no idea how to do, then it won't prevent me from sleeping, but... I'd really like to have it a widget instead of a quicklink.
Any idea, please ?

Not a clue...
I'll have a read up and play around with it, but only just started looking at the widget thing so still learning it. I guess there may be more that needs to be added for it to work as a proper widget too.
I have mine setup with the quicklinks independent of the main screen, so I can setup several pages with quicklinks and still stay on the home screen. I keep all my setting/low level stuff to the left and apps to the right (with the main ones in the middle). Works for me.
As for the volume thing, adding the dll may restore the wm volume but I think after that you can use other volume control programs, its just the low level control which needs to start off as the ms volume control. At least I don't have to mod the switch for that.
Just wanted to let you know, that VolDPad and 6.5.XVolumefix work fine on my HD. First I installed your VolDPad toggle and than the volumefix. Now I have the nice Volumegraphics and I can use VolDPad. Sometimes I get an error message, saying VolDpad can't be started, but switching it on/off again helps and it works fine. Great work. It is much appreciated.

I've not looked at that part of the code in too much detail, but it is open source (I can post my mods if anyone is interested). Chances are you can find the bit which controls the delay between two click or double click and get it to be set via the registry. Then of course you'll need a setting program to set them etc...etc. Would be great if you could set it to simulate pinch-to-zoom with it too.

Do you mean "free link" i.e. placed at any point in the screens rather than the quicklink list. If so just put it on mine and seems to work fine.
If it is anything else, haven't a clue what would need to be done, there isn't much else to make a switch out of than what is there already.
