FAQ
Q: How can I control VLC?
A: You have to activate the http remote interface in the VLC settings.
Go to tools then preferences. At the bottom check the "all" under "show settings". Then expand "Interface" and then click on "Main interfaces" and you can enable "HTTP Remote Control interface" from there. Then restart VLC. Maybe you have to configure your firewall that a local connection is allowed.

Installed it on a Verizon Touch Pro 2 with energy rom 6.5 and Windows 7 64bit. Mostly working good. The physical keyboard on the tp2 works good and the mouse control is fine. opened media center fine.
Couldn't control vlc, seems to lock the vlc control screen if you press a button and it does nothing on the computer. first time i was able to hit ok and it went back to the main control menu, 2nd time though, it didn't and i had to stop the server in order for the phone to start responding properly again after it timed out the connection i guess.
Overall though, pretty decent, didn't try with media player or anything else, I have office 2007 so i will try that out for you and ill get around to media player soon. Sometime when i boot to linux ill try out my virtual xp setup with it. Speaking of, any chance to get the server operational on linux at some point?

hi
thanks for the feedback.
I just realized that I forgot to explain that the "HTTP remote control interface" from VLC has to be enabled as the server is communication over this interface with VLC (it is in the settings of VLC). I'll try to make it more stable when the remote control interface is not available and bringing a hint for this.
the server backend is using some windows API functions, I have no clue how to do this for linux, sorry.
hello,
First of all, thank you for sharing
I will test tonight on my HD2 rom sfr / Vista 32
and for French members,
here is my small contribution: the french translation for .ini file
as cited in the first post, rename the file "language.french.ini" to "language.ini"
voila!

Ahh, that worked. For anyone out there who doesn't know where to find this I'll tell ya. Open VLC, go to tools then preferences. At the bottom check the "all" under "show settings". Then expand "Interface" and then click on "Main interfaces" and you can enable "HTTP Remote Control interface" from there. No other settings, though I had to restart vlc in order for it to trigger the Windows Firewall to ask how to handle VLC so you will probably want to do that to get it setup with your firewall.
Another thing I found, I am using english and it shows english in the main server control window, but if i right click on the server icon in the system tray, its all still german.
@matspe:
can you translate the server language file as well? then I'll include it in the next version.
@fordry:
I've added your introduction to the FAQ. thanks.
I see there I forgot the translation. I'll fix it in the next release. thanks again.
Using it on HD2 Tomus and WinXP sp3 and working perfect!
tried and worked perfect with: Powerpoint 2007, Winamp 5.56, MediaPlayerClassic 6.4.9.1, mouse, keyboard, actually I'm writing this from my phone jaja
in Mouse mode will be cool to se Page-Scrolling for up and down like notebook's mouse...
vielen dank!
really funny i'm working on the same right now but with something like config files for each programm so every user can remote control every program
but i have some problems with the server (it crashes every about 30 mins lol)
testet on HD2 with c2 duttys v10 or 11 windows xp sp3 and winamp 5...
the only thing i noticed are crashes when using the keyboard
a sroller would be nice yea and a search function in winamp and album art display
Very nice app, thanks.
I'm typing from my HD2 keyboard and I've an issue about letters: to write in small letters I've to set the keyboard on capital letters and viceversa. EDIT: when restarted the app the capital letters were ok
both on pc and HD2 I have random crashes when typing , the error message is in german though I followed instruction to change the interface language.
could you please explain how to use the media players feature? it's not clear to me
thanks

I haven't used any of the others yet, but for vlc, you need to enable its http interface which i explained how to do in one of my posts on the 1st page. Then you need to open vlc manually and once open the controller can control volume, play/pause, stop, and it looks like it has a little playlist management though i didn't play with that at all so im not sure what its capable of there.
Thank you for this app!!!
Xperia X2 - works great! I've been looking for such a piece of software for a long, long time... Thanks God I've found one that is good for me!
Seriously impressed with this. I had G remote previously which i found was good although i struggled to set it up - then it just killed my network connections with the amount it was sending/recieving data.
However - after spending the past 15 mins trying to suss out why it wasnt working... I turned the wifi on on my phone lol
Worked first time, no issues and seems very light to use with no lag.
I do get an error message pop up but its in german after about 5 or 6 minutes which then closes down the client software.
My Suggestions: Can you build in landscape mode? would be very handy for the keyboard and possibly the media player.
Unsure how feasible it is but if you could make Swype work with this typing on the pc may actually become redundant.
Running on an HD2 with win mo 6.5.3 and Sense 2.5.2018
Edit:
It appears after using the keyboard after about 5 minutes the error message that appears in german (thanks to google translate) says: The connection to the server has been disconnected
Then the program closes. This doesnt happen with the mouse part of the program. It reconnects with no issues but unsure if theres an error within code which may cause this - hence reporting it.

Hi BigMani
I would have wanted to translate, but I have not found the same lines, it is not in the file. "ini"
in the German file perhaps?
Over the Internet?
Will this work over the internet?
Can I set a port on my firewall and control from my phone over the internet on a 3G connection?
Thx
Anyone that has a version that installs in English??
I'm having a hard time changing the language. I read the instructions and i just can't figure out how to do it. I'm feel like a noob Could anyone post a cab that installs in english?
It is working with TP2 (EnergyROM GTX 18Sep2010) Windows 7 and Power Point 2010 Beta. Only the f5 is not working.
Thank you it is a very nice and useful app.

On your mobile phone, using File Explorer you have to go to MyDvice/Program Files/ RemoteControl Client and long press the "language.English" file -> press "rename" button and delete ".English" from its name.
On your computer you have to do the same with the "language.English" file that is in the folder "RemoteControl Server (Windows Desktop)" from the zip that you have downloded.

Hi!
Your App looks great, but can you create it also for VGA devices?
Greetings!

Guys,
I've been asked here and there if it's possible to do something useful with the wired headset on HTC phones.
I've written a set of apps, VJPoOf, which can be used to remap the press and hold and double tap functions of the headset.
I've also been asked if these remapped functions can be used to control Windows Media Player.
I'm not sure if anyone has written an external control for Windows Media Player - I'm sure they have, but I always re-invent the wheel, so here goes.
[My old favourite, PHM tools, seems to have stopped working ]
VJWMPlayerControl: as ever, a hardcore command line only tool.
It supports the following command line options:
[Control functions]
-playpause
-stop
-previous
-next
-shuffle
-repeat
-volup
-voldown
[Options/Screens]
-nowplaying
-library
-options
-fileinfo
Please find out how to make a shortcut with a command line if you don't know how (see my website).
So, example usage is:
VJWMPlayerControl.exe playpause
will obviously toggle play or pause if WMP is currently up and a track is playing.
WMP does not have to be on screen for you to use these functions.
The app currently has limited functionality, but has a lot of use if you need it! Use it with MortScript etc and you can control various functions of WMP. Use it to control WMP from Touchflo, or your Today Screen etc.
This app is hot off the press and relatively untested with Videos etc, but works fine for me with audio.
My usage is to use VJPoOf to remap the wired headset on my Touch HD, so that I can launch WMP by pressing and holding the headset button.
If WMP is not running, this will launch WMP and start playing the first track in your music library, so you don't need to touch the phone to start playing music.
When playing music, press and hold again to skip to the next track, and double tap the button to pause/play.
Please note - this usage has to be set up using a combination of VJPoOf and VJWMPlayerControl, for full flexibility in how you might want to set things up. You will need how to set up VJPoOf (not difficult!) to do this.
Also note, if WMP is not running, VJWMPlayerControl will try to launch WMP, and automagically start playing music (if there's any in your music library. If not, it'll launch missiles on Russia - I think...). This is so you can start running WMP handsfree, with the handsfree.
Note, this even works when the phone is switched off, so just insert your headset and press and hold (with VJPoOf) to launch WMP.
Let me know if it works for you or if you can think of other features to add.
Oh, and donate. My children eat cement for roughage

Hi Vijay,
It's good to see you're active around here again recently.
I would have loved this about a week ago when I was trying to get mortscript to shuffle my playlist after a set time, but I found the registry entry for it instead
the updated VJBrisk & VJPoOf seem good too.
What programming language is this written in? Is it possible to get the source code of the app?
Also, I think I might write something similar for the TouchFLO3D media player (AudioManager). Eventually.
Edit: Got previous and next track working with the Touch Flo 3D player. Can't seem to get play and pause working properly for now. Will try it again soon when I have more time.
Hi Daniel,
I''ve been trying to figure out a way to run the HTC Touch HD remote with wired headset (something HTC should have thought about?). But with the builtin TF3D music player..
Ufnortunately my skills were lacking...
Is there any chance I can be your beta tester? Drop me a line... I can live witouth play / pause... but next and previous is nice... ;-)
Regards.
Conduits Pocket Player Support
Hello
I was wondering if Conduits Pocket Player 4.0 support could be implemented in the next release?
It is only a question of running pocketplayer.exe with the right command line parameters.
Here is the command list (taken from pocketplayer forum):
>>>>>>>
Here are some command line options that are recognized by Pocket Player. To use these, you would target your shortcut to:
\Program Files\Pocket Player\pocketplayer.exe [command name and options, without brackets]
FileOrUrl Will begin playing the track
/VOLUME=N Where N is from 0 to 255, will change the volume
/SILENT Will start Pocket Player hidden
/ENQUEUE X Will enqueue track X to Now Playing
And the format that controls playback:
/COMMAND C1 [optional: C2 C3 C4 C5]
This option takes one to five numbers on the command line, and then processes those numerical commands. Here are some of the numerical commands recognized in that form:
Play/Pause 1
Play 2
Pause 3
Stop 4
Next 5
Back 6
Mute 7
Volume up 8
Volume down 9
Screen toggle 10
Vis toggle 11
Jump fwd 12
Jump back 13
Hide/show 14
Bookmark 16
Lock/unlock 17
Unlock 18
Repeat/shuffle toggle 21
Eq toggle 28
Dsp toggle 30
Browse 31
Seek to marker 33

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
example: Storage Card\Program Files\Pocket Player\pocketplayer.exe" /COMMAND 1 5 17
It would be even simpler if the app would just run pocket player and let the user input their own command line parameters.
The procedure would be simple to implement but unfortunately i lack the programming knowledge
Please?
Hi ViJay.
I use your command line tool with a mortscript to launch WMP.
I remarked that when WMP is playing the whole library (ie : when launching WMP with the "VJWMPlayerControl.exe playpause"), it uses a lot of memory, and at this moment, the "STOP" function doesn't work anymore, while others do. "VJWMPlayerControl.exe stop" acts like nothing happened.
Hi lpaso!
Could you write everything you do that shows the bug, step by step, so I can do it on my phone and try to fix it.
Thanks!
V
Hi ViJay,
Thank you for your support
Here are the steps I follow :
- I have about 1000 songs on my Touch HD, using a 16GB µSD card.
- When I launch WMP using your command line tool (vjwmplayercontrol.exe playpause), the player launches, go to the first song of my library, then starts to play.
- at this moment, I'm not able to use the "stop" function of your tool : it doesn't work.
I remarked it was occuring when WMP uses a huge amount of memory. For example, before launching WMP, my phone has about 30% of memory used. When I launch WMP and start playing song, it can go up to 85% of memory used.
When the player uses this amount, the stop function doesn't work at all, while other functions work very well.
If I push "pause", then wait about 15min, WMP starts to decrease its amount of used memory, and I'm able to use the "stop" function again.
I don't know if I'm clear enough.
If I'm not, I'll try to make a video
it does not work on my Viva.
i copied Redial.exe, SDDialer.exe and VJRedial.exe from vjpoof to Windows folder... i installed vjwmplayercontrol.cab... i made a shortcut VJRedial.lnk (70#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJWMPlayerControl\VJWMPlayerControl.exe" next) and VJSDDialer.lnk (74#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJWMPlayerControl\VJWMPlayerControl.exe" previous) and placed them in Windows folder... but nothing happens.
play & pause
finally got it working..
is there a way for showing the play icon when song is paused or stopped. and the pause icon when the song is playing?
Why this app does not work on WM 6.5.x?
Any solution, please.
vijay555: you've been guessing good, there was already one here. But yours have more options, so it isn't a waste
thanks
yes it works with 6.5, as well as the other one you found.
Although a very cool app it has a basic flaw: VJPoOf is only for HTC devices.
VJPoOf works in HTC devices by overwriting some rom's exe files that are launched when the headphone button is pressed. However these exe files are not Windows Mobile standards (these seem to be HTC only). This app doesn't work in my Samsung Omnia (or any other non HTC device... or so I assume).
I thought of an alternative for all the other devices (but I'm no coder so I can't do it myself). Apparently the headphone button acts as the green button (at least according to emulators button mappers)... If someone could modify Supware's GreenButton app (it already has the majority of the code and it's open source... it's a valid idea) to be able to distinguish normal-press, long-press, double-tap and launch a different shortcut/app/whatever then we would have a universal headphone control app (just let us choose what is launched because this way we could use if with any player we want so long as we know the right command).
wait, I meant wmp control shortcuts, not headphones button.
there are two apps in this thread.
headphones button is not the same as green button on htc. is it really on omnia? It's just kind of a trick, winmo executes two progs, called redial.exe & sddialer.exe, if you double press or long press it.
if you put whatever, calc.exe instead of one of them, it will just run calc instead. And yes, this one is not as universal as I had to rename sddial to voicecmd.exe to have it working on main.
Sad to see vijay and supbro are not at xda very often now...
Yeah the WMP seems to work fine (but then again I use WinMo 6.1). I guess one could achieve the same end result using via postmessage... though I never tried to find these commands. But the one I wanted most was the headphone bit (as I don't use WMP).
The VJPoOf concept is flexible and would allow to control any player given you change a few things. But redial.exe and sddialer.exe don't exist in the Omnia... The Omnia headphone button has no native long-press or double-tap features... Instead it always acts the same (as the green button).
I had tested the concept. GreenButton can be used to run any app that is passed in the lnk as an argument by pressing the headphone button. The problem is my device (and I assume it's not the only one) doesn't know the difference between a single press, a long press and a double tap.
any chances of getting a FWD/Rewind command? I posted a similar query on mortplayer thread as well.
I have decided to open a new thread following the request from some thankful users
Current version: 2.6
MSentinel is my small application whose solely purpose is to remind you about
- missed calls
- unread SMS & MMS messages
- unread emails
- voice mails
- 'missed' tasks and calendar events.
If any of above are found you can be notified about that by sound and/or vibration.
You can specify the time period of checking, time when the sound should be played (e.g. for not to be disturbed at night). You can also decide if the screen should be switched off after notification (to save power if the screen is not completely OFF.
You can also decide if the notification should be executed when the devices is 'full ON'.
After checking application leaves the device in the state that was before checking (if it was 'on' state - it will be the same after checking; if it was 'stand by' state - it will be the same after checking and so on).
Please notice that there are separated versions for WM5 and WM6 - see the attachments.

hey it looks like a nice app - I'll try it later. However can you tell me if it will use mp3's?
I've been using Kaiser notification which has some of the same functionality - but would like to have something that works with mp3's

I was thinking about building in mp3 support but on the other hand I prefered to keep the app as light as possible.
However, I'll try to use some kind of external mp3 player which would only play mp3 file if selected. Maybe in one of the next releases.
no worries - I guess then that it uses the normal system files. Ive been meaning to convert some mp3s to wave and clip out the sounds I like anyway.
Will test later and let you know how it goes.
Great app - there aren't too many programs that have an option to remind about unread emails, and that is the reason why I'm using this app. I have installed it about week ago, and it's working good, except one little bug on my Raphael - when I want to change something, there's always some warning about "From" and "To" fields, but I've solved that.
amazing program!
Will be possible to add a flash light notifier,1 every 10-20 second, i have an omnia and this will be very useful !
there is an app called "mFalsh" (from modaco), that work like a charm and use a flashlight of my omnia, may be you can try to take the code and insert in your program.
thanks for you awesome work !
I want to add Korean language.
Dear. MSentinel developers..
Thank you for your production.
I use it very well.. thanks..
So.. I want to add Korean language to your production.
I attached Korean language file. and Please add to your cab file..
thank you..
Spanish language..!
Thanks for good job...
Hi homar,
on my Samsung Omnia the vibration is not working. Everything else is working as expected, though.
PS: thanks for this great app!
I have made some investigation and unfortunately it seems that he vibration in Omnia works a little bit different. There is no simple workaround for that, however I'll try to prepare a version that will handle this issue.

2)sometimes when my device is in the early booting phase, it gets an error like msentinel cannot be loaded. so, could the loading of msentiel be delayed a little bit, say for 15-20seconds?

Which version of WM do you use? Unfortunately 'SndOpen' method is compatibile with Windows Mobile 6+. I'll try to use something compatibile with WM5 in the next version.
However, it shouldn't have any impact on the notification module.

Unfortunately, MSentinel relies on Windows notification mechanism so there is no possibility to control loading.
But I have one more question: where have you installed this app - Memory or Storage Card?

i install it to device memory, not storage card.
the funny thing is, after installation of msentinel, a note application in my device which couldn't trigger any reminder events at any intervals can now give me reminders at 180 sceconds interval, the same as that i set in msentinel. great!
Good app - works well
Hello and thanks for this software.
Homar, please I have sent you the French translation file by MP
Battery drain
Hi,
nice software, really does what is neaded - reminds about reminders/calls, etc...
There is other software like "Best reminder", AlarmPal - one shows not needed notification icon and has no "reminders" reminding, another - quite strage action, configuration and usage etc... but no battery drain (i think)
But in general both doesn't make me happy.
MSentinel would be great - but DRAINS battery noticeably. I checked with BatteryMon (search the XDA forums) - MSentinel puts device in unattended mode (20mA) while checking for notifications (i suppose).
So maybe something is wrong with my device, BattResumingSuspendTimeout is set to 120s (Touch PRO, with RomeOS), now I changed it to 20s will check the resultls, maybe it helps ?
But there is a question why to wake up device for checking if there is no notifications ? Other apps i thing use other methods.
If i understood something wrong or wrote something dumb - sorry - will delete the post.
Hi,

Hi all,
I have changed my old Qtek 8310 (HTC Tornado) for Rose. And Im really curious, what applications and tweaks are you successfully using on your Rose.
There is list of my favorite apps and games I currently use on my Rose:
.Net Configuration - Configure the Microsoft Net Compact Framework(s).
Adobe Flash lite 2.1 - Flash player.
Bluezard 1.0 - Final solution for working with bluetooth.
CHome configurator 1.1.0.5 - Change look of sliding panel home screen.
CorePlayer.v1.2.5.Build.4506 - Good media player.
Dopod SIM Manager 1.4.36.365 - Best manager to work (copy sim<>phone, backup) with your sim contacts (phone also).
FakeCursor - Use it to emulate cursor for PPC applications. (I have it mapped on short camera button because I do not use camera at all - Short_Camera.lnk,and I use custom cursor icon, because I do not like the cross icon)
Garmin mobile XT 50020 - Well known navigation software.
Google Maps - Good online maps that works with GPS.
GPSDash 2 - Really nice geocaching app.
GPS mod driver 1.10 - Driver that sits between GPS module and applications. It really improves GPS connection.
HTC GPS Tool 1.2.2.17 - GPS test tool from HTC company, good to use to see what really goes from GPS modul (cold, warm gps restart, etc.).
Chartcross GPS Test 1.04 - Good utility to check the status of GPS module.
Jbed 3D mod heap size fix (12.02.2008) - Best Java midlet manager with 3D support.
JZ SmartMort 1.6 - Mortscript utils, by which you can improve various settings (be really careful, some of them may change setting the way you have to do hard reset), and improve the usage of internet on your device by sharing addresses among browsers, etc.
Kevtris - Good tetris for WM.
MoDaCo DoNew - Makes new files for Windows mobile office (missing function in WM office).
Mophun emulator for WM - Emulator can run new Mophun games on windows mobile. The quality of mophun games is often better than Java or WM games, but there is only a few (cca 16) of them available.
Opera mobile 8.65 for smartphone - Much better internet browser than IE and latest from opera which works on SP.
Oxio AppClose.exe - Free up your RAM (Im using it as link in Right Menu app).
PicoDrive - Sega Mega Drive emulator.
PocketAtari - Emulate old 8bit atari machines.
Right menu 1.97 - Quite old app that makes your menu of favorite programs under right soft key on home screen (to use it on CHome, you have to change registry key under cclock to link to right menu link).
Scumm VM 1.0.0rc1 - Framework for running classical click and point adventures.
SKTools 4.4.7.12 - Program for tweaking and optimizing your system.
SpriteBackup 6.5.5.1 - Backup whole your phone.
Tornado Low Light - At night, even the automatic brightness control makes your phone too much bright, so by this utility you may manually lower the brightness.
Total Commander 2.51 - Best directory manager.
VitoCopyPaste - Simple copy paste function.
WM5Storage 1.9 - makes from Storage card the flash drive to easily access it by any computer.
SRS WOWHD 1.5.1 - Sound driver that improves the sound of the Rose.
Tweaks (registry hacks, and so on):
Scroller for start menu - you dont need to use "More" button, just use down key. Insert into "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell" new DWORD value "RockerSupport = 1" (name RockerSupport, value 1)
What Im really missing on Rose is good SimToolkit manager. Long time, I have been using STK manager from XDA that has been extracted-maked by Pigeon I used it on Qtek 8310 with WM6.1 - 6.5 without problems, but it is not working on Rose If anybody have idea how to make it working, there is the CAB.
SRS WOWHD 1.5.1
kills the sound on my device, any modded version ?
SRS WOWHD
Older versions of WOWHD kill my sound also. Than I found one version 1.5.1 (PPC version, do 1.5.1 SP exist?) somewhere on XDA Developers, which do not kill the sound. However Im also not sure, if it really works... Because it is PPC version, I do not have control app, so dont know how to check if it really works.
You may try:
It might be cool to include an URL to these programs...
I tried fakecursor, but it didn't work as expected.
Google maps is installed by default
WM5 storage is not needed, because this is now standard functionality of WM6.1
Im planning to include links to these apps. The problem is, it tooks some time I do not have now Also I would be not able to maintain these links in future, so cannot guarantee they will work later on. Also the problem with trial versus full...
Fakecursor works fine for me.
I have ROM without Google maps! So it is why I put it on the list. (I get my rose secondhand, cose it is hard to buy new one these days, but i think inside is still official ROM. Strange is it is partially app unlocked and without some features like google maps(I did quite often hard reset so it is really state of the rom)).
With the WM5Storage, you are right. However I tried build in function, and it doesnt work well for me. Main issues were, after switching back from flash to active sync, my PC refuse to connect and sync, moreover, I have to go through many menus to enable or disable this feature. WM5Storage works much better for me....

SmartGear for GameBoy, GameBoy Color, NES, GameGear, MasterSystem, TurboGrafx-16, and Genesis/MegaDrive Games (Snes-emulation in development). Costs: 10$ (Trial Version works for 2 minutes and you can't save)
Only not perfectly working with some Roms, it can't save the game then. But especially newer games are no problem. To be honest, I play pokemon with it, because I was and am still looking for decent RPG Games - pokemon is fun .

Description
Quick Links are okay, but you can not have a quicklink for everything. Or are you just conservative and want to have a launching tool on your PPC? WiMoRun enables you to run programs typing in their name or a keyword. You can start all executable applications within the whole device. With the T9 panel you can choose your apps even faster.
It runs on Windows Mobile > 6.0
If you have ideas to improve this app just let me know.
Features
- run programs by typing their names
- tag programs to get an alias i.e. calc will open favourite calculator
- autocomplete list in realtime
- application cache to boost speed
- T9 input panel for faster searching
- skinnable UI

Feedback
Feedback and reporting are desired, new feature requests, too.
I'd say it would be useful, especially if you save a list of recent applications, which is missing in 6.5. Dotfred's task manager has a run tool, and I use it all the time (it saves mru's).
I think with the Auto-Complete feature this app will be a time-saver, specially when you want to run or open something from Windows folder (you have scroll a long list to find what you want).
Thanks for your efforts!
Version 0.2 is online.
Improvements are a finger friendlier control-size and an autocomplete feature.
I like this app idea a lot.
Here are my suggestions:
- As you type, it presents a filtered list (filtering in real time) all the apps that fits the match as you type. Then you can just type the first few letters and select the app. Think of how Windows 7's start menu works. You start typing and it immediately gives you matches and gradually filters the list down as you type.
- A custom T-9 input panel, which can work with the above filtering feature as a more finger friendly alternative. It would work exactly as the dialer's numerical pad does to filter out your contacts by the letters associated with each number.
- Custom keywords for apps. Basically you can associate keywords with apps. So let's say you use Pocket Informant as you calendar app, but you just want to type 'calendar', you can associate it and it will launch it.

Genius idea!!!
Thanks for fast update!
I try it now.
Great application, really useful! Looking forward to updates.
Great Idea, could better
Hi i like the idea,
Autocomplete in this form is nice but imho its not practical enough, i still have to know the exact name of the app.
Have a look at "lauchy"for the pc, when you type it lists all applications that have the letters in them you type, regardless of the position.
So if you type "expl" you would get a list with "explorer" and "file explorer".
Cheers Marco
Thanks for your first feedbacks.
I will try to improve autocomplete and give a list of programs to chose matching the criteria. I also like the idea to tag programs. A T9-like input panel will also be on my list.
Very good idea but not a new one. This is basically a launcher program. Everyone, check out ZLaunchy program, it has t9 keypad and runs programs, contacts, docs, etc. I have assigned it to a hard button.
ZLaunchies Description says it only uses the programs in the start menu. WiMoRun is designed especially for those programs you might not have in a quick link program. running docs, contacts or other stuff may be integrated, too here
This is off topic and I apologize for that.
the pictures in the first post have fingerkeyboard2 with wider keys than the default one. I have been searching and trying to understand how to install a fingerkeyboard skin with wider keys (the default fingerkeyboard2 are smaller than the stock HTC HD2 keys).
Again, I apologies for this off topic remark, but this is the first time I found someone that has an example of what I have been looking for in a long time... and I have searched the forum.
@davidshooki
Please use private message instead. if you write me your email I can give you the CAB I use
[End of Off Topic]
@topic
Version 0.4 is out now. I integrated an autocomplete list substituting the one line autocompletion. Buttons are now replaced with softkeys. The program is also able to save tags/keywords now. If you type in the keyword, the linked application is opened.
a T9 panel is not yet implemented, I think that needs a little time.

Yes you're right.
but zlaunchy has a variety of features which your app should have as well(search via t9, search in contacts etc.).
zlaunchy is a great model for for winmorun since it's so lookalike.
As I remembered there was a win mobile smartphone app that had a lot of functions.
looked for files, sms, programs, contacts, it even calculated a formula if you inserted numbers(ex. you inserted 2+2 and it returned 4 on the result list)
I lost that app when I changed to winmo pro since it was shipped only with that phone model.
It was called VOQ from the sierra wireless VOQ phone.
Version 0.5 posted.
Now all executable files are held in this list. It doesn't matter if it's in the Windows or Programs directory.
To avoid long startup times the program generates an application cache. It can be renewed out of the options menu.
have fun
edit:
just fixed a bug and promoted it to 0.5a
Update again
Version 0.6 features the heavily wanted T9 input addon

version 0.7 is out now, but only for VGA. graphics scaling for lowres devices does not work the way I want it to. Maybe I'll find some nicer controlls, too.
custom skinning will be available in one of the next versions
Nice job! Here's an ico group, if you want it. It looks pretty good in the start menu (it's just hacked from shell32.dll).

Hi guys, I'd like to introduce a DOSBox emulator port for Windows Phone 8.1 & up.
I developed this app more than half an year ago but final release "polishing" was on hold because of many reasons. However, I think that the app "as is" (btw, it's works and works fine!) published in the store is much better than no app at all so I decided to publish it
What is the "DOSBox" and how to use it, you may read on the official website; shortly: you can run good old DOS games (or other apps!), built for x86 CPU, on your Windows Phone.
Screenshots:
Classic Sierra's quests are working fine; Wolf 3D (for DOS) also playable. He-he, you can run Windows 3.1 on your phone too
I recommend to use Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to work with emulator. Camera button toggles "turbo-mode" of emulator (sometime is very useful), you can change this binding in settings. WP standard "back" key bound to the keyboard "Esc".
BTW, app has virtual keyboard and joystick; mouse is emulated via touch screen. Now mouse emulation has two modes, absolute and relative.
absolute mouse mode: moves mouse pointer on virtual screen and emulates left button click by phone screen tap. Very simple but still useful in some old DOS games and definitely in DOS programs working in the text mode.
relative mouse mode: to move mouse pointer, touch & hold phone screen and move your finger; mouse should move relative to your finger movements. To emulate left mouse click - tap the screen, double-click - double-tap. To emulate right mouse click, hold & release finger. To move mouse with left mouse button pressed - hold for a little and start moving your finger on the screen. So, this mode simulates (at least, is trying too) a standard notebook touch-pad behavior
How to work with the app:
install app
connect phone to PC
create folder dosbox (or whatever) on the phone or sd-card memory. On W10M you may create folder at the root; on WP8.1 create your folder inside any public folders (Pictures, Documents etc.)
launch the app and choose folder; after synchronization it will be your virtual drive "c:". Later, you need to synchronize this folder manually after adding or deleting apps & data.
If you don't want to use PC, I strongly recommend you to use "Total Commander" app! You can easily open and unpack archives with old DOS games and programs to your virtual "drive c:" folder.
Currently, "DOSBox" don't support Continuum ('cause it's a WP8.1 UWP, not W10M app), but you are still able to see old DOS stuff on the large screen (thanks @dxdy for the instruction!)
first connect to DD (Display Dock) or Miracast. now on TV show normal Continuum desktop.
now in Continuum app on phone or from Continuum desktop or phone select display settings. select "Connected display" if not. on bottom of display settings select "Advanced settings"
select "Mirror what's on my device" (but don't use back arrow for close!!! just select Mirror option and don't touch anything for now)
now on TV screen display change from Continuum to phone screen
if not change disconnect and reconnect USB cable
if changed press windows key to back to start screen
Now on TV screen show mirrored phone screen!
If you want switch back repeat all and select "Use different apps on each screen"
If you experiencing problems with mouse movements (mouse movements in the game are limited to some part of the screen, you can't move mouse to the lower right corner), please try this workaround found by @rcmolina: download Microsoft's mouse driver for DOS (mouse.exe) and run it before game (or add to autoexec section of dosbox.conf).
App become paid now ($1.99) but still has a free trial version, with some functionality limitation.
URL for W10M: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh4q6j8
URL for Windows Phone 8.1: http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=ab937773-d667-43df-984e-1237fc28e860
Enjoy, and "have a nice DOS"
"Esc" Key
I miss the ESC Key in the on-screen control. There are a lot of DOS games that used that key to "escape" the game or to go to the configuration screen.
In any case, the application is great. I've been able to play some old dos games .
"Esc" key is already bound to the standard WP back key (back arrow), especially because of this key importance in the old DOS games
Can we mount and boot OS images?
NC Commander... few days ago i find it on old disk
any chance for better mouse support in game? is working but not very good... in Warcraft 2 in game mouse move (work) only in 25% area (top left area of screen)
@dxdy, it's a really hard to properly emulate mouse via touch screen. I did some tricks but maybe not properly (already saw Android's DosBox Turbo code but it won't work properly on WP). For now, I may recommend you to use BT mini-mouse or mini-touchpad - it will work good (already tried).
Thx but not ask for mouse via touch, ask for bt mouse
Hmm, you are really confused me, man Before your post I believed on 100% that the real mouse should work absolutely fine (actually, I've tested it on Win3.1, Win95, Win98 and some games and have no problems at all).
Looks like a Warcraft 2 have some different mouse handling... Could you please PM me a link to your your zipped files or image to test?
P.S. BTW, you don't need to send me a files: I've found, installed and tested WC2; can confirm, mouse isn't working properly... As for me it looks like badly supported SVGA mode. I've added issue to my list but now (sorry) have a couple more important issues to fix.
no problem is not important... can be on last place of bucket list to fix it
if anyone want try, ISO and RIP version are available on www.myabandonware.com
notice for rip version: rename long folder name to "war2", also if you use some other folders tree, change settings in war2.ini file
problem
lumia 640XL windows 10mobile mouse touchpad not work correctly (settlers2)...
@tynyczech, what is the touchpad model (or what do you mean by "mouse touchpad" - phone's screen?). Please be more specific - what does it mean "correctly"?
Sorry, I don't have time to test specific games (there are lot of games for DOS!), I'm very busy with programming.
"Good news, everyone!" (c) Professor Farnsworth
@dxdy, I've fixed your issue with dirty but (I hope so) quick and effective hack; new version already on the certification (version 1.3.0) He-he, probably you'll need no bt mouse anymore to play WC2
Also fixed bt keyboard bug (code was ruined somehow), now it works pretty fine except tab key, I should press twice
P.S. And thank you for donation! However it's not absolutely necessarily: I'm glad to help my good old xda friends and industry enthusiasts
no problem, beer (money) is not a donation
edit:
updated and new version work great! mouse working fine
@dxdy, could you please try to play without mouse (using just a touch screen)? As for me, it works fine but I don't know how to play WC (I was a doom, quake, qII, arena player only)

touch working in game but must play with mouse because in 1995. touch screen commands was SciFi, is much easier to contrl and give commands with mouse. only no sound in game (for example Warcraft 1 have sound)
btw, on old WM 2003/2005, Warcraft 2 was ported (Wargus) and worked fine with touch (pen)...
I downloaded Warcraft 2 demo here; after installing game and configuring sound card, I'm getting sound (or maybe music only?) in game, and emulated mouse is working fine at least on the game menu
P.S. BTW, I've committed another small update: now you can import/export your dosbox.conf file (and have many configs for experiments!), and see actual app version on the settings page.
Today is a really good day, I do have another great news!
I fixed very weird M$ bug on copying large (>1GB) files (StorageFile::CopyAsync always fails on copying large - 1GB or more - files). Google knows nothing about chunked file copying on C++/CX & PPL and I had a hard time (definitely don't like unresolved issues). But today I was lucky and found a great workaround
So, now you can copy and mount large hdd images with a lot of pre-installed good old games (I believe, size is limited by your phone memory or sd-card free space only ). But please use for copying and mounting large files "mount images" option from menu only! I didn't touch home folder synchronization code for now.
Also added some small but useful changes. So please try new version 1.4.0 and tell me how it goes
today i will try setup, not rip version..
if you want check video

@tynyczech, what is the touchpad model (or what do you mean by "mouse touchpad" - phone's screen?). Please be more specific - what does it mean "correctly"?
Sorry, I don't have time to test specific games (there are lot of games for DOS!), I'm very busy with programming.
