Hi all,
as am now moving to a more open platform (android), i would like to return the favor of learning through this forum, how to program on win mobile by posting the code of this utility.
Its given as is, no warranties, no tricks, do not expect a well written code etc.
Based on C++, no .Net.
Hope will provide to someone, knowledge and info on this subject.
Have fun with it.

--- Old introduction ---
Hi all,
this is mainly an auto locking program which utilizes the Windows Locking for partial locking (phone related keys are active)
or complete locking (no keys are active).
It can be considered as an add-on to other programs which provide the User Interface, an 'In Call Locker'
with some goodies as mentioned later on which may or not depend on whether the device is locked (with any program that uses
the Windows locking).
The locking can be activated at the following events:
1. After a specified period of idle time (no screen tapping or touching the keyboard).
2. After the device has waken up.
3. During a call ("In-Call Locking" Partial or Full).
Also for any of the first 2 events (idle or wake up) the program can run a specified executable/registered file together with any command line arguments that might be required.
Finally, some 'goodies':
(Stand-alone means it does not require any other option or the device to be locked)
A.(Stand-alone) it can provide some customization on the carrier name so that:
- It can fit on the screen (for example not to overwrite the Battery icon in SPB Shell).
B. (Stand-alone) Turn on Bluetooth if a call is being dialed or received. Then switch it off after
the call has ended and the headset is not connected.
Usefull if you have a bluetooth handsfree kit in your car and you do not want to keep on turning on/off
the bluetooth.
C. (Stand-alone) Flash the Backlight and or Vibrate while ringing.
At last, you can 'see' if your phone is ringing.
D. Reset the Exchange Server Policy.
Stops the frustrating setting of the password being required after connecting to the exchange server.
F. Turn off the display or/and the device itself.
It can be used as a power saver while playing music etc.
G. Set your favorite SIP (which is being reset back to the default with every soft reset).
H. HotKeys (NEW)
You can assign as sequence of keys to perform an action.
(see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3666785&postcount=702)
The parameters that are driving the behaviour of this utility are located at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2424492&postcount=148
The parameters can also be updated using the setup program provided (csdevctrlsetup.exe).
A flow diagram of the parameters that relate to locking, is provided in the zip file for better understanding of their use.
The debugscr.exe program has been added to help identifying the keystroke codes and coordinates. Before this program is executed
the csdevctrl must be stopped as mentioned further down.
To install it:
- Use the cab file provided.
Simply run it and it will create:
- under the 'Program Files' a directory with name CSDevCtrl'
This directory will contain:
csdevctrl.exe is the main program
csdevctrlsetup.exe is the setup program
debugscr.exe is a utility to find the coordinates and keystrokes (optional).
- Shortcuts under the 'Programs'.
- They can be installed either in the internal memory or on a storage card.
To run it:
> Run the Setup program to set the parameters and the Start Up option.
> Run the program (csdevctrl) and it will spawn at the background as another process.
The device will vibrate once to show that the program has started.
To stop it:
> Running the program second time will cause the program to exit (It will show a confirmation window which will close in 3 seconds unless you close it sooner).
To uninstall it:
> Close the process as usual (run it again or kill the process).
> Remove it from the installed programs.
> Also delete the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CSDevCtrl
As a note, do not rename the csdevctrl.exe as the uninstall depends on this name.
It has been compiled only for WM6.

no bad, i like how it uses the built in windows lock.
Thanks,
it works well with my favourite program (Spb shell) which is the reason of me developing this.
this works great on the smartphone but there is a visible window which can be closed too easily with task managers and can't be navigated away from.
any poss you could hide it rather than minimise it?
looeee
i have updated the program to be windowless as you mentioned (attachment replaced)
Hope it works for you.

First of all, thanks for sharing!! This is a very nice app.
I've tested the 2 versions (window and windowless), and I have a suggestion if I may.
I like the idea of the program being windowless, since it becomes more appealing to the eye (I mean, it's great we don't have to see the small window minimize everytime we wake the device), but now, to be able to close the app, we must use a task manager to kill the process(e.g. sometimes we may want to test some other locking software and we need to disable it temporarily). So my suggestion would be that when we run the program once it starts, the next time we run it, it stops. Would that be possible? I think it would make your app perfect!!
Remember, it's only a suggestion.
Thanks in advance.
Its good to know that it may be of use by someone
I have updated it as you mentioned, it will exit if you run it the second time (attachment replaced).

Now it's just great!!
Thank you very much for this.
What's the purpose of this app, from the description above it looks as though it does what the original lock already does, so I ask again; what's the purpose of this app?

Automatic lock!!
Once your device light gets dimmed, or on device wake up, without having to press the lock button.
Is that clear enough for you?
Just set the time for 0 minutes, and it's locked on wake-up.
Guess the dim part is good, thanks for clearing that up. I guess my brain wasn't working, I couldn't figure out what deemed was.
now i love the app for what it does... my only suggestions or worries are... after setting that up, i no longer am able to input a password when the lock is activated... and when the program is activated, it wakes the device up from the dimmed, light, thus defeating the purposes of the backlight going off... and also draining the battery a little more... is there ayway that the program can run without waking the device?

I have had this happen to me sometimes as well, already in my short testing time span: when pressing the power button (once) the backlight switches off and back on!
I am also experiencing that it sometimes just does not seem to lock: when pressing the power button twice (with pause) my device only sometimes locks.
And in case you are open to another suggestion: perhaps you can minimize all windows when locking, so the lock ends up on the today screen; or make it an option somehow (command line parameter?)
Thanks for the advices i will be checking them out and come back to you

Another vote for that!
TBH the only reason I still use S2U is because I can see my missed calls, appointments etc. It's a great app, don't get me wrong, just not something I need.
Your locker would be perfect for me with an option to go back to Today on locking.
Or, perhaps you could implement a simple count of missed calls, SMS, MMS, emails and appointments directly on the lock screen? Just don't let it grow too much!
works beautifully for me with the spb mobile shell 'now' screen showing me the info, thankyou very much!
Why don't you add an option of command line parameter specifying a program/link to be launched before locking? That way it would be very flexible (there are plenty of small programs around doing loads of stuff - like minimizing everything or sending a text or calling your mama - possibilities are endless)
Program has changed as per your advices:
- Leaves the device in idle state for better power management
- Run an application while trying to lock by reading a file.
I have updated the first entry of the thread with some more info and the file.
Any comments are welcome.
Enjoy
I love it. It's simple and effective. Just the way I like things. I'll keep testing it for a while and report back.
I've got another idea actually.TODAY option works really well, the only 'problem' (its not a problem,just room for improvement ) that you need to reopen all the windows you had opened before.
How about an option TODAY&BACK when the minimised windows would be reopened when unlocked? In other words-minimised when locked, back to what it had been before locking when unlocked? It would make it perfect (until next idea strikes)
Anyone tested it on WM5?
whats up everyone :good: i hope you help me with this.
This is the thing, i need to make an Kiosk Mode App, this means that the people who gonna use it cant get out of the APP
the kiosk mode disable all the principal buttons of your device, like Home Button, Back Button, Power Button, etc.
this is a GUIDE that you can read to know more of this:
ww w.andreas-schrade. de/2015/02/16/android-tutorial-how-to-create-a-kiosk-mode-in-android/
[Repair the link, erase the blank space]
The problem is that my app has an Login Activity and i want the customers cant get out of the Login Screen until he signed in, i think you understand me
For do that, reading the guide, i can make the app Starts automatically when the device boot is complety Started by usin the permission to receive the RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast.
Now the problem is that i need the app stop all the process of "UnClosable APP" almost the customer put the Correct CODE in the Box and click "Login" he can use complety the device and open apps and close and whatever.
i mean a "Key" in a CODE, if the code is equals, and you press Login the app stops disabling the buttons of the device
Waiting for your replys, see you!
Somebody?
i try...
I do the same,
i'm looking ... but at the moment i don't have more information...
you?
Those who have been lucky to upgrade to Wear 2.0 have probably noticed the removed Do Not Disturb toggle synchronization between wearable and phone. Some like it, some not. I didn't like it, so I made an app that does the sync. Currently it only works one way: wearable -> phone. With some hacking, sync is working both ways.
You can find the application in Play Store.
Source, builds and setup instructions are available in github and licensed under Apache 2.0.
Installation instructions for Watch -> Phone sync:
Install phone application and wearable application from on-watch Play Store
Launch application on Phone
Click "Grant Permission" button
Enable Do Not Disturb access permission for application
Make sure all 3 checks in the application pass
Installation instructions for Phone -> Watch sync:
Setup watch ADB
Execute:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure enabled_notification_listeners com.google.android.wearable.app/com.google.android.clockwork.stream.NotificationCollectorService:rkr.weardndsync/rkr.weardndsync.NotificationService
Enable state broadcast in Watch Setup wizard
Currently synchronization phone -> watch is only possible by assigning permissions in ADB. Wear OS doesn't provide management settings. As this is not officially supported - it may not work for everyone or the next Wear version.
I love that something like this is now made, but I have a question. What is the first screenshot in the Google Play Store link for? I thought this was only for DND?
I'd like to install it and find out myself, but my ZenWatch 2 still hasn't received the update.
If your watch isn't updated, then the sync should work out of the box. As for the screenshot, I tried to show that the toggle in the watch will sync to the toggle in the phone. I'm not a designer.
Wonderful little utility. Thank you very much.
Fingers crossed to get phone > watch allowed.
I have a few apps that toggle DND via Tasker on my phone, and having it trigger the watch too would be sweet.
Good news and bad news.
The bad: notification access and all the management is unavailable in Wear. So there will not be an official way to make this work (source).
The good: you can grant the permission in ADB. I tried it and the app can actually switch DND on and off (source).
Having to run a single ADB command will probably not stop the brave people of XDA! So synchronization should eventually come to the watch, just give me some time to fix the current bugs.
Bonus news: AudioManager can be used in android <6 for sound modes. Haven't looked into that yet.
Thanks for this app, I miss the functionality!
Sync from phone to watch is implemented and functional! v1.5 is being pushed to the Play Store. You just need to enable broadcast from phone in setup wizard and execute this command in the watch:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure enabled_notification_listeners com.google.android.wearable.app/com.google.android.clockwork.stream.NotificationCollectorService:rkr.weardndsync/rkr.weardndsync.HackService

Hello!
Not work on Huawei Mediapad X2 (android 5.1.1).
I know: "only Android 6+ is supported"... But, maybe, android 5.1 can be added to?..
Thank you!
If it can help, I can access Do Not Disturb on android 5 through Tasker.
But it is called "Interrupt Mode". It can be found here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide_summary.html search for "Interrupt Mode".

me neither, but maybe this could help?
I'm just curious. What's the difference between this version available in the Play Store (source code available here) and your own? It looks to me as though that blunden may have forked your code.
That's how open source works, you are free to fork it or take it as an inspiration. His code isn't a plain copy paste, it looks like he even has sync to older android versions, which I didn't have time to do.
I can no longer sync both ways after the newest update, v1.6. I can only control DND from both devices from my watch. Anyone else having this problem with v1.6?

The first idea is that app got suspended after the update. Make sure watch app is updated and start the app on phone. I've added a check that will tell you if watch DND permission is granted. If everything passes, then there is probably something weird with the AudioManager. Previous version used the new NotificationManager, but it requires a running service for broadcast events. I've switched to legacy AudioManager that can use a stateless broadcast receiver.
[Edit:] Android 4.3+ support is being pushed. This needed a code refactoring, so bugs are probable.

Yeah, all three permissions were granted. You wouldn't happen to have the APK for the previous version?

V1.5 attached.
I would still prefer if you could make a logcat and I could fix the problem for the rest of the people. Just do these steps:
Connect phone to ADB
Enable DND, Disable DND on phone
Enable DND, Disable DND in watch
Run: adb logcat -d > bug_phone.txt
Repeat with watch connected to bug_watch.txt
PM the logs and I may try to fix it. It's not the first time android APIs don't work in specific phones.
Just a quick FYI. Version 1.6 works fine here. Nexus 6 / Pure Nexus 7.1.1 / Magisk root. Huawei watch AW 2.0 7.1.1 stock.
I can start DND from either watch or phone and the other device enables.
It works when I start Sleep as Android; SaS enables phone DND and that enables DND for AW 2.0, then Tasker via AutoWear triggers theater mode on my watch. One step goodness! :victory:
Hi,
I have a Mi Box (official Android TV) with 7.0 Nougat Beta 1028.
I'm trying my best to figure out a way to run a Tasker task before the device turns off/goes to sleep. The reason I want to do this is that I have a Harmony Hub which I need to run the Power off activity when the Mi Box turns off via the original Mi Box remote. I have setup Tasker to run a Harmony Activity when the device turns on, and this works great. But I am not able to make Tasker run an activity before it turns off.
I have tried two different approaches, first via Tasker. Created a profile, which when the Display state is Off, it should run the Harmony Hub Power off activity. This works maybe 1 of 10 times. So not reliable.
The next approach which I think would be the best is to remap the power button on the remote. I found this application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton&hl=sv
This application lets me remap every button on the remote except the Power button. So that is my problem, if it would let me remap the button, I could set it to run the Task and the Mi Box would power off also (as it is included in the Harmony activity).
From what I understand the Mi Box beta 1028 is possible to root, to access the system files, but no SuperSU support or anything. So is there any file I could edit, to remap the button this way? Or maybe if there is some systemfile I could put somewhere to run before the device goes to sleep?
I'm pretty much stuck right now and I would love to get this to work. It would allow me to use the Mi Box remote which I love, but not loose any functionality from the Harmony Hub.
Please help me with this! Thank you!
Here's my contribution to the app list for xiaomi's amazfit watch.
I was really disappointed by official apps available on the watch, so I started digging for an Interval Timer.
This one was a first step
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/amazfit-interval-timer-0-1b-t3573016
but still I was missing some actions, so I decided to make my own.
My apk and sourcecode are available here:
https://github.com/kerfall/IntervalTrigger
everything is described in the readme.md file:
to install this app, you need to unlock list app first with adb:
adb shell
> /sdcard/launcher_config.ini
am force-stop com.huami.watch.launcher
then you can install IntervalTrigger.apk
adb install IntervalTrigger.apk
If you want to uninstall it, run
adb uninstall com.Difetis.IntervalTrigger
Usage: Start the app
- Trigger the stopwatch by clicking on the timer "00:00:00"
- Start a new lap by clicking again on the timer : the lap is added in the list
- When training is over hit the "stop" button
- Click on a lap to save your training on the watch external storage
- Or Click reset to save your training and reset the timer Exit app by swipping left
Your csv files are in csvIntervalTrigger folder. Tip: if you don't see your files or csvIntervalTrigger, just restart your watch before plugging it to your computer.
You use this app at your own risk as it's still a work in progress. No complains for data loss or potential damage to the watch, it's not an official application.
Possible updates:
- I will try to make a v2 that use the gps to export gpx data.
- Add an option menu
- Add a screen to view recorded activities
- Use physical button instead of touch screen
- Add option to countdown before start
And I would be happy to have your opinion and advises of course!!
Enjoy!!
Looks good, do you know if anyone managed to install it on Startos?

Hi ! thank you Kerfall for your work.
I'd like to wkon if the app is a classic interval timer (sets of work an rest times) or if we can choose distances for work or rest, anf if we can match them. I mean : [ 400m (work) + 1'30 (rest) ] * 8 for exemple.
Is there also a timer for warm up and cool down ?
Thanks a lot for your answer,
Florence (french runner)
I'm not a developer,
but I like this model of interval-timer bcz it lets you define multiple and more complex sets.
Interval Timer － HIIT Training - Apps on Google Play
An interval timer for HIIT Training and Workouts!
play.google.com
another idea is to set a interval training session based on distance, not time, once you could integrate GPS.
sorry not be able to help,
hope the ideas are nice.
