WM 6.5 Lock Screen Notifications.. - Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development

I am having a lockscreen notification problem.. When I receive a txt message, I thought I was supposed to see the option of tapping the slider button to see the other sliders for the other notifications.. well the text message one worked for like 2 seconds, short enough to not be clicked.. Please tell, how do I get my lock system notification to work.. do i edit anything in windows??
btw, i am using
the EnergyROM 'Genesis' (SYS 23016) ROM..
Thanls in advance..

I am also using the Energy Genesis rom, and do not have this problem. When you flashed it, did you make sure to do a hard reset at the "tap to align screen" part? If you didn't, that might be causing it from leftover settings from an old ROM.
Do you get other notifications? Voicemail and the like work?

Got the same problem with bauners 6.5 ROM (though not the very latest version to be honest).
Sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn´t...

Same problem with a Spanish ROM... has anyone the solution?

Disappearing Notifications
This is actually a very old bug. Though, like the Lockscreen delay issue, it's possible that this bug is related to the tools we're using to cook the 6.5 ROMs (i.e. compressing everything, rather than checking to determine whether a file should remain uncompressed). Da_G mentioned something about this a while ago, and that's why he's working on a new set of tools (well that, and the Image Update System).
I have had this bug on EVERY SINGLE 6.5 build I have EVER used. I use a PIN lock on my device, so I have an extra step to unlock, but every time I wake my phone from sleep, and see a number on the lock, within 2 seconds, the number disappears.
I don't think we have a solution to this right now. Sorry .

Theres about 3 different threads that all talk about this topic. And if I'm correct, if you're using the latest energy rom then it has a newer lockscreen. I posted an edited cpr in NRGZ's thread that will get rid of the delay in the newer lockscreen. But, you can't use the 21198 dll (which is what fixes the notifications from disappering) on the newer lockscreen or it will get rid of images on the lockscreen or stretch them. Check NRGZ's thread in additiion to these for enough to get it working right as mine works perfect.

this seems to be a great idea! I copied it to my memory card and couldn't run it cause I don't have .net 3.5.
I'm not interested in installing it cause it would take to much memory for other installs(waiting for a cooked 3.5 rom).
Try making a 2.0 compatible version of technic.exe first.
But this one is a good software to look up to. I use s2u2 as my locker and I miss configurable gestures to unlock.
Organic lock is going to be great! no doubt about it!
looking forward for:
1 - 2.0 compatible technic.exe
2 - full gesture control(i'm guessing this version allows only the click of the "checkpoint" and not the gesture)
3 - locking sequence not explicit(as for only owner knows it.. if not done yet)
Thumbs up to your work!
philocritus,
I didn't quite understand the 3rd point. Could you explain?
Made Technic compatible with .NET CF 2.0. Check new archive.
I can't seem to put in a gesture on my Kaiser. It doesn't detect any strokes of mine unless I make them very quick and very hard and even then, the strokes aren't the ones that I made, they seem pretty arbitrary.
I have to use the "Blind" option....lol

You have to tap the moving "lava" parts when you tap the black area your hit is not registered. So you basically have to tap the lava as it passes your pre-determined point.
I mean when I'm trying to define my gesture.
Excellent!
A new idea...wow!
Tested it out, and it works as it should....though I do have a few suggestions:
1)Instead of the 'lava' theme, try a easier theme....like dragging around a block in a grid would be an easier metaphor...like those picture puzzles!
2)kinda resource-hogging...slim down maybe?
Overall, a 5/5

Thanks Rev! I'll check it out and send you the results
as for the 3rd point I'm talking about having a static image as background and only the user knows where to touch to unlock. any other guy can't unlock it that way(kinda like a organic password)
Nice work.
But here, with lock enabled, phone doesn't ring.
Bye
This didn't work with my touch when I ran organic-panic. I opened that .exe, and my screen froze. I turned off the phone and turned it back on. I finally saw the lava screen and the little pockethal logo on the bottom right but the screen was still frozen. Is this running in DirectDraw? Last time this kind of thing happened is S2U2 v.93 or something and I think it was due to DD.
Interesting new idea. Subscribing to keep an eye on the progress.
ok rev here are the results on my trinity:
organic and organic-panic both run and respond only to the cancel button. couldn't unlock it...
when the display went off it never came back on...
maybe a .net 2.0 problem? or am I getting something wrong?
my perception is that there is no response to touch screen...
See these threads:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362231&highlight=gesture
Others who put some thought and effort into something like this. I think it would be great. I added my ideas in those threads. I still wish it could be a "Gesture 2 Action" module, that could be integrated with S2U2 at some point cuz S2U2 has pretty much all the "locking and unlocking" functions down. It is evolved enough to handle almost all the use cases with notifications, locking buttons, and what not. All we'd be adding is a different "trigger" to initiate the unlock. I'm not saying its easy, but its gotta be easier than trying to redevelop all the code to do all the other functions, when all this is really adding is the gesture part.
Again, MHO.
New version.
0.8 (latest):
- Using GAPI instead of closed PocketHAL libs (so you need gx.dll)
- Removed both locker screens
- Added another unlocker screen (Checkers)
- Works with standard screen locker (and possibly any other, that properly sets lock flag in registry). This needs to be checked with other lockers' authors (in future version).
- Number of points can now be from 5 to 10.
- Installable .cab instead of .zip
See first post for .cab
If you can combine the functionality of S2U2 (notifications, time, now playing, etc)... this would be one of the top 5 best apps for WM6 available, period.
Yes, It does work on my prophet
I ,however, don't how to use even I read the instruction
May you record a live teaching video?
it's locking me all the way..
Very interesting idea that I want to see succeed. Subscribing to monitor progress/development.
WB
New version - 0.8.0.2:
- Slightly different Checkers unlocker
- Accuracy (difficulty) increased
- Device is now automatically locked after soft-reset
It works well on my prophet! However, I dislike it locking instantly on a soft reset, although this is just my preference...

[PHONE CANVAS] [VGA] [LEO] [2G] Released And testing others

Ok, Everybody heres a finished (to my comfort) dialer that as far as i can see works properly.
I'll say its working at 99.999 percent and as with all the other canvases, landscape is not perfect.
its primarily for manila 2.5 but can work with 2.1, its 2G so no video calling but does have conference and works preaty smooth.
just quit cprog (and phcanvga.exe if you have it), install and then soft reset.
Cab pyrorob_gullum_Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_4_2_V2.cab
Package: pyrorob_gullum_Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_4_2_V2.rar
for those with the energy rom, heres a theme to match: pyrorob PhoneCanvas 4.2 EnergyRom Theme.cab install after the main install, soft reset.
So, i do want to thank everyone here and those who donate there time with this. I really appreciate this and am thankful for everyones help.
short statement:
we are a community of people helping each other to better our devices and only a tiny fraction of all the users contribute.
its great when it happens and no one should expect accolades or payment for there creativity.
(dont get me started on people who will only release things on this site until they get paid, i think it stifles the advancement of the community as a whole).
Now, i do want to specifically thank amarullz, whose phcanvga.exe im using, which without it, would have seriously hampered this and gullum who has been absolutely helpful and all the testers.
Phone Canvases in testing:
pyrorob Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_3_0_1916_3532_2_ERom_Theme.cab

Hi Pyrorob, Im sure many people here are like me and read your posts, use your fixes, but dont know how to mod dialers and whatnot, so cant really offer help or suggestions with the things you are asking. It doesnt mean your efforst aren't appreciated though!
Regarding your dialer, it would be helpful if you posted a screenshot so we know what we're getting. And also some confirmations that we can uninstall the cab and it will restore our previous dialer without any issues etc. It probably also pays to mention not to use SKTools as you said in the EnergyROM thread it can totally delete the phone canvas and you wont be able to get back the one prior to install
Out of interest just how DO you do something like this anyway? Im a computer programmer but dont know anything about working on the phones. Like what language is the dialer written in? Do you have access to the code and can make changes that way, or are you just trying to resize images and hex edit things inside resource files or exe/dlls etc (eg x and y offsets)?
Thanks pyrorob, I'll give it a whirl, and I'll be sure and post if I have any thoughts.
Okay, so I can't get it to install. Says "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or settign cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions." I used dotfred's taskmanager to kill cprog, and put the phone into airplane mode. Any ideas?

yes, i understand that, the only thing is, i didn't just open a thread and waited, i sent out a bunch of pm's to different people that i know knew the specifics of what to do and how to do it right and no one even had the decency to even reply. its like people think of this as some sort of competition..
yeah if you just follow the same steps to uninstall as you did to install then youll be fine. basically the dll's for the canvas have a bunch of positioning resources and thru lots of trial and error i managed to get things to where they are now.
I checked out your canvas on my Touch Pro.
The only think I noticed (except of the back button on the top right corner you mentioned) is that the left soft button "All People" does not work for me.
When I press it it changes from "All People" to "Contacts" and Manila crashes in the Background.
Any hints?
I have the same sig as above and dialer is working great! Only few bugs i see are what was mentioned already, especially with the all people left sofkey. Another is when you place a call the top taskbar is gone, small rezizing issue exactly the same as with rhodium dialer. If u hit keypad the taskbar comes back then tap call status to go back and the taskbar stays. Maybe get it to stay from the get go when you first make a call? All the features seem to work and landscape seems smoother then rhodium with it. Sorry cant help you with the technical side but always a happy beta tester. Just work out the few kinks, give it a makeover, good to go!!!

P.S.
One more thing. If you're in landscape already say writint a text message, then press the call button to bring up the dialer, the screen goes into portrait mode with the dialer while it should be in landscape. Then you have to close the hardware keyboard, reopen, now dialer is in landscape.
Bluetooth Volume???
Can anyone test this dialer with their bluetooth device? I dont have one handy right now. Just to make a call, try to adjust the volume up/down using the 2 hardkeys on the side of the phone to see if it works? I know on the rhodium dialer it doesnt change the actual volume on the headset, just shows on the volume volume is changing but does nothing. Hope its not the case with this dialer or can be fixed if it is? Thanks

ok first one, the all people soft key, im testing the dialer on a phone with manila 2.5 and when you hit that key it goes into the manila contacts, the dialer originally is from a manila 2.5 leo rom so it might only work 100% with a manila 2.5 rom..
the top taksbar has to do with the repositioning by the phcanvga if it doent move up the incall screen and cut off the top then the buttons at the bottom will be cut. sometimes the phcanvga doesn't reposition properly at first so you can do a few things like switch to landscape and back, goto contacts and back or close and reopen it and it will reposition itself.
yeah and it going back to portrait? well as far as i know there isnt a whole lot of landscape support with the leo since it doesn't have a hard keyboard so i guess thats the way htc programed this?..
second one, try putting in this reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"EnableAdjustHSVolume"=dword:00000001
see if that works
Apart from the 'back' key issue noted, no problems on my current ROM build. Have installed, unistalled and reinstalled without issue following Pyrorob's instructions. Conference calling working well (my mates like being part of the beta test!). Great job and Thanks!

Oh i see, didnt know it was from a 2.5 version. That makes sense then. You think you can make a version to work with 2.1 manila though? I have no idea how hard that would be, just talking about getting the left softkey going for 2.1 manila. Ill have my jawbone 3 later today. Ill try it out of the box first to see if it works with the volume hardkeys on the phone, if that doesnt work then ill plug in the reg edit you provided. Still, this is the fastest port for a very nice vga dialer for our phones, WOW! Cant believe it took them forever to port tachi dialer and took u a few days and this one is wayyyyy better then tachi! Great work and would happily donate to you or wherever you would like me too for this and all your great work pyrorob, thank you!!!
Umm
Well out of the box the headset volume cannot be changed by the device with this dialer. I looked in the registry using the regular reg edit app thats cooked into nrg's rom and also tried using the one that came with sktools (which is more friendly i think!), neither have that entry.
I go to current user, control panel, volume, only entries here are all one worded, nothing like what you described and nothing with a standard setting of 0000001 or anything like that. Ill get a screen shot for u if that helps but looking in the reg i cant find it. Do i need to "add" the reg entry u described since its not there? If i do, how do i add it? Never done that before.
So far the only bug that I have found appart from the already mention ones, is a sliding bar on the right corner of the dialer when I open it up. The only way that i have found to make it disapear its by fliping the phone so the dialer goes to landscape and fliping it back to portrait and no more silder bar, and by closing the dialer with the end button instead of the x. Appart from that is working really great, so far no connecting delays ussing slide 2 answer. I'll be using it a couple of days more to test it out to see if anything else pops up. Hell, i like it so much i'll keep it until a new flash or a update from you pyrorob.
I think the only thing that needs its the energy theme.
Geat job man!
This dialer is like a God send to us, its soo good! Tested out the slide to answer/ignore and works flawless, no lag or sticking like rhodium! This is like an upgraded rhodium dialer for US users who dont have video call, its great. Love how theres no annoying bluetooth icon on the taskbar either when bluetooth is enabled with this dialer, huge plus for me! Hate having useless icons on the taskbar. Duh i know bluetooth is on cus i turned it on, why do i need an icon up there to remind me? If u can just make some finishing touches, skin the hell out of it to match energy rom, Golden, seriously golden here!!!

What sliding bar is this? Are you talking about the top right corner wheres theres a grey box with a black arrow distorted pointing left? Thats the back button which would be nice if it can be skinned good or resized (looks fine in landscape as well as everything else, just not so much when receiving a call but no biggie!). Other then that, i have no idea what you're talking about? Can u provide a screen shot maybe?

No man, i know the back button, it's not that. It a sliding up/down bar, the one that appears whe you flip it to landscape. It appears when i close the dialer pressing the x button and open it up again with the send button and if i flip it to landscape when flip back to portrait the bar stays, have to flip it back to make it go away. Sory can't post screen shots I'm at work, plus don't know how to take a screen shot from the phone.

[Q] Keyboard icon appearing over CHT lockscreen

Hey guys,
Any idea why the keyboard icon sometimes appear on the bottom of my CHT lockscreen? I does not happen on regular basis but it is a bit annoying because it's actually a working button that can be accidentally activated by movement.
I have experienced this on three different ROMs so far. Elegancia and Omega v21 & 22.
And it also looks awful on such tuned-up picture I've got there...
Thanks!
happens to me (and i use the default windows lockscreen.) haven't figured out a solution. tis quite annoying.
I have a feeling that it only appears when there's an app in memory that uses the keyboard. Like email or messaging client and others... I'll give it further testing!
I agree, this is frustrating to deal with. Has anyone found a solution?
i forget what its called exactly, not using winmo, but if you turn off the CHT custom softkeys i think that fixes the unlocked bottom part of lockscreen.
I have seen it very very few times using PocketShield. You might want to try it.
I think everyone gets this........ seems to happen every other time I wake up my phone, gotten so used to it its not even an issue anymore....

[APP][WM6.5+] DeviceLockXT - A fix for the Windows Classic Lock Screen [UPDATED v1.1]

On WM6.5 and WM6.5.x you have the option of using the new sliding lock screen. I for one prefer to use the old 'Windows Classic' lock screen (i.e. the one where you have to tap the soft key then an unlock button like in WM6.1, see images), as it uses less memory and allows me to see the today screen. However, on many ROMs for HTC phones, even stock ROMs, it doesn't seem to work properly with regards to incoming calls.
When you receive an incoming call, the lock screen pops up asking you to tap unlock, but it is unresponsive and obscures the caller ID screen, meaning you can't see who's calling you or the accept / reject slider. On phones / ROMs were it does work properly, you sometimes still have to press the unlock button manually before you can do anything.
This had annoyed me for ages and I couldn't find a solution, so since I am learning C++ at uni, I decided to try and teach myself Win32 programming and create a a program to fix it. The result was this little utility, my first windows mobile app
The program basically just sits and waits for an incoming call, and when the system notifies it of one, if the device is locked it waits for the unlock screen to pop up and then very quickly presses the '*' key. The result is that the device unlocks before the screen messes up, allowing you to see the dialler! The app is very lightweight (executable is only ~6KB), fast (native code), and does not use the CPU whilst idle since it makes use of the windows messaging notification system. Should theoretically work on any resolution on any device, but I've only tested it on my Touch Pro2 (WVGA).
I originally made this just for myself, but XDA Developers has been so useful to me over the years I thought it would be nice to share it with you guys For this reason it is provided as is, I may or may not add to it. I'll try and fix any bugs and stuff if they arise, but I'd like to keep it a simple, lightweight app.
[size=+1]VERSION HISTORY:[/size]
1.0 - Initial Release
1.1 - Multilingual support. If v1.0 works for you, you don't have to upgrade but you can if you like.
Fixed the bug that causes program to crash if not using an English ROM.
Removed message box that tells you you're using the sliding lock. Program now just exits silently.
CAB file now changes the registry key to disable the sliding lock screen for you.
[size=+1]INSTALLATION:[/size]
I've attached the EXE in a zip file, simply unzip, place it on your device somewhere and run it to activate the program. Run it again to exit the program. You might like to place a shortcut in \Windows\Startup. The program will not run if you have the WM6.5 sliding lock enabled, you need to have set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen] "Enable"= dword:00000000 (obviously).
I've also made a cab file which just simply places the EXE in \Program Files\DeviceLockXT, and creates a startup shortcut and the reg key for you, if you prefer
If you already have DeviceLockXT installed and are installing a newer version, you probably need to stop the old one from running first, and you should probably uninstall the old CAB before installing the new one. I don't know what difference it will make if any.
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: In the unlikely event that this program damages your device / causes you to lose data / kills your cat / whatever, I am not responsible. Use at your own risk.
Feel free to include it in a custom ROM if you like!
This looks interesting. Like you, I also do not like the latest lock screen (I've been searching forever for a better one). Does yours support PIN lock? And if you wouldn't mind, I think it'd be cool to see a screenshot (or just a google image), I'm not sure if I remember the classic lock screen you are referring to...
Certainly! Images added & first post updated
The reason I like it is that it isn't a lock screen as such, more of a lock softkey. This allows you to see through to the lovely HTC flip clock when the phone is locked / you turn it on to see the time. You only see the rather ugly looking grey screen when you want to unlock the device.
The program will run if you have PIN lock enabled, but there is no need to use the program in this case, it will literally sit there doing nothing. If you are using the PIN lock then the dialler screen works fine, at least on my phone anyway
To use the Windows Classic Lock Screen with a PIN just set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen]
"Enable"=dword:00000000
Then enable a PIN in Settings > Lock and you're good to go! No need to install my program You can also set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen]
"ShowLockScreenPicker"=dword:00000001
To get an extra tab in Settings > Lock which lets you change lock screen without editing the registry.
EDIT: There is not supposed to be a space between the c and r in LockScreen in the reg keys, don't know why the forum does that.
I'm also a fan of the "Windows Classic Lock Screen", and have encountered the same problem that you describe!
So thanks a lot for this great tool, I'm trying it ASAP.
i see your point of locking and seeing at the same time your home screen right there and then and i think i'm liking it. i'll give it a try. any chance to change the "ugly" gray unlock screen to something else? a simple black one would be good for me, or better still to a customized background.
edit: btw, does this work on stock wm 6.5? it says 6.5+ in your post.
Yup, I meant 6.5+ as in 6.5 and above (including both 6.5 and 6.5.x)
Not that I know of, the grey screen is part of the windows mobile locking program itself so I don't think it can be easily changed. On some ROMs I have tried the grey screen is skipped entirely, unlocking straight away when you press the softkey, but this is tied to something at the ROM level I think. So it's possible, but I don't have the time or ability to figure it out
Another way to do it would be to write your own locking program from the ground up that mimics the standard windows classic one, then you could do what you like, which interestingly is what I tried initially. But it was much harder than I thought! Defeats the point of utilising what is already on your phone though, which is what I like to to (minimal 3rd party software).
I repeat my program is NOT a stand alone lockscreen, but a utility to hopefully make the built in one work properly. In my opinion the windows classic lock is fine as it is, apart from the issue my program aims to fix
Great job!
This little app works very well and it does what it promises.
The grey screen is something that I've seached how to change for quite some time, but haven't found nothing. It would be very cool if we could edit it!
This is just awesome...thanks so much for sharing...
What about cooking this program into ROM? Is it fine to do so?
Yeah sure, it says so at the very end of the first post (under 'Disclaimer')
Uch, sorry, I never read disclaimers or other important notes.
Keep up great work. I'll include this software into my ROMs if I don't find anything annoying

I'm not sure what would be causing that behaviour, what device are you using? What version of windows mobile / ROM are you using? Do you have any other screen lock type apps installed?
It is nice
but unfortunately it works only for WM6.1
i hope i can find one for WM6.5

[Q] Can the Phone icon on the dock always open Keypad?

The Phone icon on the dock opens either the Keypad or the Logs, whatever we had opened/left previously. Wouldn't it be better if the Phone icon always opened the Keypad no matter even if our last view was of the Logs?
Is there any mod available for this?
I found this to be the case with all the firmwares I've flashed. Funny thing is on the stock UGKG2 firmware it didn't so I'm not sure if it's because the firmwares are leaked or if Bell made some specific changes to the Rom. Now I'm curious..
This was modded as default in Lite'ning 6.1 too. Hope this is added in LeoMar75's Kitchen.
Thanks to JKay's settings, part of my problem is solved. Now I can set up the lock screen to directly open on the Keypad screen for that quick dialing. It is so much convenient if you can reach the Dial screen in just a couple of moves.
Though yet to figure out a solution for the original post.
