Open GPS minimized - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Hello Guys!
I would like help with my car's media center. I am trying to get the GPS to start together with the media center, but minimized, so that I am always warned about electronic radars. My central always starts the applications that were open in the last use, for example, if I have the radio open and the GPS, at the next startup, both applications start, but the GPS opens in the foreground, the radio keeps playing, but not in the foreground. The GPS application is the Igo Primo.
I understand a little bit of programming, I can even access Windows on my media center, but I don't know how to make GPS open minimized.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this? My center asks to select the GPS initialization file in the settings, so I thought of creating a .bat and putting some code for it to start minimized, but I don't know if it would work ...
Thanks in advance!

(UPDATED 18-09-2010) Auto Lock (CSDEVCTRL)

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.
Chris
This is the link
http://rapidshare.com/files/419726318/csdevctrl.zip.html
--- 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.
Cheers

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).

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?

PortSIP WM6 Auto Connect and Disconnect Patches

APPS ARE A FEW POSTS DOWN CREATED BY RYANMOGUL
I ALSO LINKED ADDINTIMER TRIAL WHICH SCHEDULES RUNTIME OF APPS
certainly there are the registry hacks to disconnect the internet
but i'm looking for a method to turn it on
i've seen the registry hack to make the internet on permanently
this isn't what i'm after
i'll tell you why i want it
voip phone...specifically PortSIP
it doesn't connect to the internet on its own
and i dont like opening the browser everytime i want to use PortSIP
thanks for any tips at all about firing up the internet easily
i'll continue to search but figured i would make this post after my first couple hours of unfruitful digging.

I got you covered, i will write you a mortscript that doesnt eat battery or nothing. I can either make it to assign a button, connect internet when pressed, disconnect when pressed. Or I can make it automatically connect when you open a certain program or game or w/e. Let me know what you want and the name of the exe you are trying to use.
Edit: Let me know the name of the exe ex: GoogleMaps.exe and also the location of the exe, not the shortcut. ex: mydevice/program files/googlemaps, mydevice/windows, storage card/program files. Etc.. Otherwise I will just make you a Connect/Disconnect mortscript to assign to a button or click to run.
nice ryan
um is there anyway just to have an .exe or something i can link to in program files to run the connection...
shutting off the connection would also be a major plus...but i wont hold it against you
if i have to settle for one prog access here is the lineup
portsip is located at: /Program Files/PortSIP/PortSIP_WM6.exe
thanks for your dedication
i will donate for this
this is the last step to achieving scheduled running of portsip to enable free incoming calls using google voice/gizmo5 during day minutes
i may have to use a different voip app in the future so if at all possible to just be a unique mortscript.exe that would be ideal...
and probably more usefull for others and whatever they might need done
(free incoming calls = paid unlimited data)
You must not know what mortscript does. I can make it any way you want. It requires skill and know how so you can only make one script per program. Thats because you have to create a shortcut to the Mortscript file and make sure the icon looks like your program (if you want it done professionally). I use shortcut manager and edit parameters.
To make it automatically connect doesnt cost the battery or any memory resources. It doesnt use any "while" commands that run at all times. Now this other way uses more battery but I can also make it so that when you launch the program it will automatically connect to the internet and the script will continue to run in the backround until you actually close the program. At that point it would disconnect from the internet and stop running the script.
Or I can make it just a shortcut in your start menu folder somewhere and you can click on it, or assign to a button.
Now if you dont care what the shortcut looks like and you just want the liberty of being able to use it for other programs thats very easy. Just open my mortscript file with notepad, or wordpad (on PC) and edit the run command matching where your exe is. then simply copy and paste it on to your ppc wherever you want in the start menu.
Just really let me know what you want, and I will get to work on it now.
if you can do anything about making sure the data connection stays active that would be nice
i'm not actually sure at this point of it times out or not
some apps close the connection when exited...
registry edit would be nice...again not 100% sure if its a concern or not...
just saw your last reply
to save complication
i will opt to just have portsip connect when started and close connection when exited

you said you already found out how to make the data connection always on?
I never asked if it times out, but it probably goes stale "times out" eventually. Plus setting your phone like that EATS mad battery.
Yes some apps do close the data connection, thats all commands in the programs .dll's. No registry edits for it, registry is not the magic answer to every workaround on PPC's. Thats why they have the program Mortscript, and its Mortscipters "me"
yea i just meant in general...not app related...
i'm not sure if the internet connection will time out at all
i'm assuming that would be in the registry
timeline wise:
portsip opens & connects 7am ::: 12noon internet disconnects from timeout
(not looking for scheduling...i'm using a program called addintimer to start/stop portsip)
Now the information you are giving is getting confusing.. You said that PortSIP doesnt automatically connect to the internet and now you are saying you use Addintimer to automatically open and run it.. You are leaving out details, like how you set up your addintimer to run it, did you have to point to a shortcut for PortSIP? Did you have to point to the EXE, I need to know these things or else you are not going to get what you want out of the deal. So you are saying addintimer opens PortSIP at 7am and connects to the internet like normal right? You just want it so during other times if you open PortSIP that it will automatically connect to the internet right? Am I on the right page now let me know. I will get started.
ok...thanks
addintimer starts or kills the process
using addintimer you assign a start or kill on a schedule to the .exe directly
hope that helps
if its easier just to create a program shortcut which enables the internet by all means
then i can just link addintimer directly to your mortscript 1 minute before portsip...etc
i think this method would be more universal for others to make use of it as well
sorry to leave the decision in you hands...
i know its easier to work with specific direction...lol
and thanks again for your attending to my needs

So what do you do right now? Just leave your data connection running before you goto sleep? Because you still arent answering if the program addintimer launches the internet also.
ok
well if you want to just post up the .exe that initiates the internet then i can just link it into addintimer
i dont know what starts the internet...hence my issue here...
right now i manually connect to the internet before using portsip by opening a browser and leaving it open
day minutes are 7am to 7pm...and so i see an extended battery purchase in my future
but my phone is plugged in most of the time anyways...so this isn't a huge deal for me
Ok gotcha, mortscript file is not an exe. Its a .mscr or .mortscript extenstion.
and the files use the app Mortscript.exe to run the commands.
I am making a cab which will install mortscript, and the Data Toggle shortcut in Start menu.
i have mort installed...however it might help others to include it
its not that i dont understand what mortscript does...
its more not knowing what initiates the data session
thanks again
well i just found this registry entry which may help with the potential stale connection issue
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}
dword: StaleCellularConnectionFixEnable
maybe setting it to 1 will insure she stays on once i get this all working
currently set to zero
PortSIP WM6 Auto Connect Only and Auto Connect and Disconnect PATCHES​
These patches are only for PortSIP WM6 version. The patches do not install PortSIP, but they overwrite the shortcut to it in programs. So if you uninstall this you lose your PortSIP shortcut which can easily be re-created through your phones file explorer.
These Patches will work perfectly with how you have your PortSIP set up and any programs you may use to launch apps at certain times or automatically "addintimer".
The Auto Connect and Disconnect "ACD" Patch will install Mortscript files to a new folder in your Start Bar/Programs called Scripts. There will be ConnectData and DisconnectData those are obvious what they do, and there will be Startscript and Endscript. That way you can set your addintimer to Startscript, then PortSIP, and then Endscript. This will save your battery life! Say you start PortSIP the while command is running, when you exit PortSIP the while command and mortscript stop. So in between uses it does not waste battery life. Thats why I have the shortcut to PortSIP set to re-launch the while command and the PortSIP.exe. Now another thing say for example when you reset the phone the While commanding mortscript in startup folder is running until you start up PortSIP and exit it. You can use the Endscript when you first boot if you are not planning on using PortSIP to save battery life.
You can just click to run each of these mortscripts. If you arent going to use PortSIP run the Endscript so it turns it off. The PortSIP will automatically start the script when launched from Start Bar/Programs folder. I hope this explains how to use the Patches I spent hours trying to figure out the best way to accomplish your tasks.
These Patches will install Mortscript.exe and its registry entries, it will also install 6 mortscripts. 4 are explained above 1 is linked to the PortSIP shortcut and 1 is in your startup folder and that automatically connects and disconnects PortSIP when opening, and closing the program. Its the main script that runs automatically at startup and that Start and End will work with to enable or save battery without having to soft reset).
But for installing the Patches you have to soft reset afterwards to activate the Startup file PortSIPacd.mscr that the CAB installs in your start up folder.
The Auto Connect Only "AC" patch automatically starts the data connection when running PortSIP without using while commands (will only work using PortSIP shorcut in programs). Downside to that is it will not end the data connection. That can easily be ended by pressing and holding the End Call key for a couple seconds. The Patch also installs Mortscript and Connect and Disconnect shortcuts to scripts folder for you to use.
***This paragraph is for people not using PortSIP that still want to use the Data shortcuts! Here is a Data Toggle Shortcuts CAB to install. It will install Mortscript and create a scripts folder with Connect Data and Disconnect Data shortcuts.***
Each patch should be uninstalled before applying the other patch..

[APP][CAB]Find parking lots (and view which is free of charge !)

REQUIREMENTS
Devices running Windows Mobile 5 or later (touch screen).
Internal GPS.
Car charger (for FindMyCar functionality).
Microsoft Compact Framework 3.5
DESCRIPTION
ParkingAssistant includes three functions:
Find A Parking Lot – Shows parking lots in your vicinity.
The basic parking lots data was collected from openstreetmap project.
The green parking lots were reported by users as non-paid parking lots.
Report Parking Lots - In our project we will try to refine the data concerning non-paid parking lots accuracy and contribute the data back to the openstreetmap project using your help.
Find My Car – Estimates automatically where and when you last parked your car.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Your speed is displayed on the Windows Mobile Today Screen.
GPS is kept "hot" when connected to the car charger - meaning that you get immediate fix when launching navigation software or any other software that uses the GPS.
You can now see the time that has elapsed since you last parked your car.
INSTALLATION PROCESS
Install ParkingAssistant cab file to the device memory (not to storage card).
Run ParkingAssistant from the programs list.
BRIEF USER GUIDE
The ParkingAssistant application is now running at the background. To bring
ParkingAssistant to foreground us one of the following:
1- Click on the ParkingAssistant Today Screen item.
2- Click or on the ParkingAssistant task bar icon at the bottom of the screen.
3- Select the program again from programs window.
4- Use task manager window to show the list of running programs and select ParkingAssistant.
Click on the FindAParkingLot icon. If GPS signal is available your location and the parking lots in your vicinity will be displayed on a Google map (blue balloon – your location, green balloon – reported as free of charge parking lots, yellow balloon – unknown/paid parking lots).
ParkingAssistant application runs in the background and uses the GPS to estimate where you last parked your car. The GPS is activated mainly when connected to a car charger to eliminate battery drain.
Once ParkingAssistant succeeds in estimating your car's position, the car position can be displayed on a Google map - for that an internet connection is required.
To find your parked car, click on the FindMyCar car icon (on the left). Your car's location (red balloon) and your location (blue balloon - if GPS signal is available) will appear on a Google map.
Click the ‘X’ icon to bring ParkingAssistant back to the background.
You may kill ParkingAssistant temporarily (till next device reset) by clicking "kill" in the settings window. You can remove it totally simply by uninstalling the application.
ParkingAssistant uses a virtual GPS port meaning that other applications can access the GPS at the same time. However there might be older navigation software that do not work in this mode. You can try to do a GPS port re-search in your navigation software or kill ParkingAssistant

Hi ishimoto,
Very nice looking release. I'm really happy with it!
I have tested it and it works!!!
Today I uploaded about 9000 new parking lots, will keep adding new parking lots every few days.
Why is the application running in the background?

The reason for having the application run in the background is for the sake of Find My Car functionality. The idea was to provide a general solution for parking issues which caters for both FindAParkingLot and for FindMyCar, however if this is bothering users, it is be possible to split the application into two - FindAParkingLot (which doesn't run in the background unless the user invokes it) and the old FindMyCar.
this is pretty cool i'm goin to keep an eye on this thread
Trying it RIGHT now !
GREAT JOB

NaviPanel & Car Kit Mode Q's...

Does anyone know if NaviPanel will only auto launch when you use the HTC car mount hardware kit? I know that you can actually go into the windows directory and create copies and shortcuts to launch it manually, however in my version of WinMob 6.5, in the Settings section, there is a Car Kit Mode settings panel that specifically asks you to Auto Launch the NaviPanel when you connect to a BT registeres device of your choice from what you have paired to.
This being said, does anyone also know if it's possible to play with the UI in the NaviPanel.exe file to set the buttons to link to another Navigation program on the phone besides Telenav? I use TomTom7, Bing, and Google maps usually, Telenav is not my forte.
If anyone is as curious and geeky as I am about this, please allow me to pick your brains!
Cheers,
Mario

Looking for an app. Perhaps never developed

Hi There
Im looking for an Android app that is able to start an application on a Windows box
What im looking for is that im having a surveillance system at home based on Windows 8 and ContaCam with outdoor
IP cams. I want to set up some indoor cams based on some of our old Android phones. (No problem)
The thing is that I dont want them to record when we are at home. So im looking for at way to automate this!
My idea:
A Android app that uses wifi to locate if an android phone is on home network or away.
When home this app sends a heatbeat perhaps every 2 min to a server software on windows.
If this server software recieves a heartbeat from me or my wifes phone or both, it should shut down the ContaCam or any other software selected. (Could be other software) If already shut down it should do nothing.
If no heartbeat is recieved within perhaps 10min it should start Contacam or any other selected software.
If already started it should do nothing.
An advanced version could be that you recieved an feedback that the Process had been started.
This software could be developed very basic to that with the server software you choose what exe or Bat file to launch.
And what process to shutdown.
I haven't been able to locate any software out there. Maybe it already exist. If not i hope somebody
would use my idea and develop this software
It would be nice if there could be a linux server software too.
Best Regards

You can use this one:
http://owtroid.com/remotelauncher/mediawiki/index.php?title=Remote_Launcher
with combination of Tasker or Lllama.
Just write two batch files or shell scripts to start and stop surveillance.
