hello everyone! I wander how to unlock values in “Power settings” applet. For example I would like to have 20 sec. of backlight and suspend device after 30 sec. Now I can choose only between 10 – 30 sec. of backlight and 1+ min. of suspend.
You can do it in the registry. Check these settings:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"BatteryTimeout"=dword:00000014
That's your 20 seconds to dim (14 in hex; 20 in decimal). Here's the timeout settings:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]
"BattSuspendTimeoutSave"=dword:0000001e
"BattSuspendTimeout"=dword:0000001e
Tanks allot, it’s really works! But if somebody know how to edit the entire Power applet to have a choice in part of selection between 10 sec to 1 min with 10 sec step in both Screen off and Device off?
I think that's gonna be a lot harder. You could probably get the settings into Advanced Configuration-I've never made custom tweaks for it, but I know that it can be done. You could definitely do it for the SK Tools Tune Up! panel. That would be easy, if you have sk tools. You could also convert the reg keys to cab files pretty easily (without uninstall would be better), and just put them somewhere convenient.
So, what happens when you open up the applet? Does it switch to a default setting, or are the boxes just unchecked? I didn't actually test it out.
Yeah, I have SK tools, but I have never come across with such possibilities in it. Were is it?
If you check the help section in Tune Up! it describes how to input the tweaks. It's pretty easy (you need a newer version, though). I've got a thread on doing it here. You can download some of my tweak files and just modify them. Also, you should have user.ctwsk and default.ctwsk files in your sk tools program folder. I've got one for notification snooze time that will be similar to what you want. DWord files are easy (haven't figure out the string values yet)-make sure you use decimal values and not hex values.
wow, that's grate, thanks allot!
If you put together a working tweak file, you oughta post it up. I'll re-post in the other thread.
I’ve made file with following text, but it changes value only in first parameter “BattSuspendTimeoutSave”, but not in the second “BattSuspendTimeout”. How to make multi parameters change?
#tweak(Adjust Battery Pwer off)
#description(Turn off device after XX seconds)
#key(HKLM)
#path(System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts)
#name(BattSuspendTimeoutSave)
#type(DWORD)
#value(20)
#value(30)
#value(40)
#value(50)
#value(60)
#key(HKLM)
#path(System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts)
#name(BattSuspendTimeout)
#type(DWORD)
#value(20)
#value(30)
#value(40)
#value(50)
#value(60)
#text(20)
#text(30)
#text(40)
#text(50)
#default(60)
#tab(system)
I'm not sure you can do multiples at once. I think you just need to create 3 separate entries, and change the two at the same time.

Ok, I’ll make some, but what’s the difference between "BattSuspendTimeoutSave" and "BattSuspendTimeout" parameters then? how to dicribe them at menu?

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is with that-try playing around with them (maybe set them at different times). See if you can figure it out. You may only need one. You can add in the description that the two need to be set at the same level, if that turns out to be the case.

ROM
Hi,
Does it matter if I have changed from the original ROM ?
@bereda
What´s the source this tweaks come from?
Tip: Backup the registry before changing it!
i was googleing and found the site i think its ppc tweaks but the stated that these will only work in wm5 but i gave them a shot on my elfin and it worked even with the custom rom but i guess you can do them on a stock rom you just need a registry editor
Easier way..
Easier way for who do not know / want to touch the register in the first person..
the cabs only made the first two reg hacks..
(i do not made the third reg hock because I not have the spb, so I could not test it..
Thanks a lot bereda!
Or use Schap's Advance Config -> tab Performance to change the values comfortably

Mail tweaks
Hello.
Were can I change mail box registry. Because after change of several Rom's I can not name E-mail box as I want says name already exists.
Hi,
I want to contribute my first application written in VS2005 VB.NET Compact Framework.
.NET Compact Framework must be installed on your device. Application needs around 700kb of memory.
This is a simple timer application with four configurable countdown timers. Set an description and a time (hh:mm:ss) and stop/start/reset timer with your fingers only. No need to use the stylus pen.
Touch the timer ones will start it. Touch it twice will stop it. Tap&Hold the timer will reset it. Needs no more explanation. The app is self explaining.
You can change the background image
You can change the audio wave notification file
You will get an vibrating response from your device on start/stop/reset timer
If a timer is running your device will not enter standby/sleep until all running timers count zero (configurable). If you want to use a long timer be aware of battery usage. Be sure that your backlight switches off after some time. If your device switch off for any reason, you will not be notified that a timer count zero. The application isn't able to switch your device on.
Settings are stored in registry "HKLM\Software\M_G\TouchWatch" and all configurable from the application.
THIS IS A BETA RELEASE FOR TESTING...QVGA ONLY...NO LANDSCAPE MODE...
Installation: Just copy the .cab to your device and execute it. You will find an icon in the start menu.
Version history:
v1.1b: -edit timer window now opens with buttons instead with the menu.
-added vibrate response features
v1.0b: first release (beta)
TODO:
Add stopwatch functionality
Use gestures to reset and edit timer
D-Pad support (maybe)
Landscape support (maybe)
Source code
You will find the source code of the project as attachment. You are allowed to enhance this or use this as example or whatever.
Support me with a donation for future developments
Thank you!
New version is released!

nice to hear that its ur 1st application.....any ways i will test it and let u know further....thanks in advance
hello,
nice app! can i make a suggestion ?
it would be great if you could add d-pad control! since then we could use this app on non-touchscreen devices (smartphones) also.
thank you in advance!
Hi lopez1_de
Very nice program, been looking for something like this, but havn't found anything quite as nice as this.
Keep up the good work
Flemming
That is exactly what I was looking for for workouts in the gym.
Good work, lopez1_de!!!
Suggestions:
- Typo in options menu: should be "off", not "of"
- Some feedback when you start a timer would be nice, so you don't have to watch the seconds in order to see if it's running. Maybe a short vibrate or the timer's panel flashing.
- Maybe a left-right sweep across a timre's panel yould open that timer's configuration screen?
Thanks for that program.
Cheers,
nc
Good application, but I wish to have it without new .NET! .NET is slow and use my memory very much!
thanks
Thank you all for suggestions and ideas. Nice to hear that you like it. I will try to implement the following things into the next version:
Feedback on start/stop/reset
Config button for each timer
bye
EDIT: In the moment I have no ideas how to implement d-pad control.
Please test the new version 1.1b of TouchWatch.

Yes, I know about it. But I'm only a hobby programmer. I'm not able to write C code.
But the speed of the timer on my Elf is perfect. The only little problem is that the application uses ~840kb of memory while running.
V1.1 is near perfection in my mind. Wonderful little app.
I've been searching for these exact features for a while now.
Thanks a lot!

Hi, I tried your app, thanks very much: very usefull!!!!
Excellent work.
This is now the prgogram i use when I time the breaks in between sets when i work out.
On my screen everything except the timers' digits and the icon for the timers' configs is black.
I'm pretty sure it's due to my extensive Wm6 customization, though, so it's not a bug. I guess your program uses wm5/6s BaseHue color derivation to paint itself?
Would you mind sharing your source code? Maybe I can help cut down on memory usage?
I have no experience programming C#, though, but I have done quite a lot of Java, and I recently got hold of Visual Studio 2005 Pro to start mobile development.
Ignore the transparent top bar, that is also due to my customization.
Cheers,
nc

Hi.
PDA customizing. A never ending story...
To paint the graphics I had to override the OnPaint event. The lines and timer text are drawn correct. The bitmap should be visible also. Maybe you have selected an incorrect path to the file or maybe you selected another image format than .BMP.
The code is very basic. No big problem to code something like this for a hobby programmer. I use a variable which holds the seconds...then there is a timer control which ticks every second and increment the variable. Then convert the seconds to a time string and display it on the screen. Now capture OnClick events and get the X,Y coords of the stylus to check where the user clicked at. Then I used OpenNetCF for the vibrate features. Thats it.
Nice program, would be even nicer if you could ad a stopwatch functionality also. So not just a countdown but also a count-up?
Keep up the good work!
Great app. Great for boiling eggs and what not..

I Made this tut because I was thoroughly confused when I found omapclock and TornadoPowerControl. This guide is primarily directed towards HTC StrTrk and pretty much makes it so that you can delete the start menu shortcuts and not have to worry about your overclocking ever again. I take no credit for any of these useful tools and no responsibility if your dumb ass tries to over overclock your phone.
EDIT I found out a way to make TPC not show up in your task manager. If you DONT want this then you should skip step 8.
1) Download Tornadopowercontrol14.cab and tcmdphone.cab and load.zip to Windows directory.
2) Install all on your phone
3) Using Total Commander browse to install dir of tornado power control
4) Create a shortcut and place it in the startup directory in Windows
5) Using the Total Commander browse the the startup folder and EDIT the shortcut
6) The shortcut should look something like
60#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe"
7) There are several commands that you can tell the program to run on startup
'dim' starts in dim mode (display is dim)
'bright' starts in bright mode (normal operation)
'hide' hides the app at startup
'toggle' changes from previous mode ie if in bright mode before boot now in dim mode
This is what mine looks like:
60#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe" bright hide
8) If you DON'T want TPC to appear in the task manager then edit your startup shortcut and add italicized characters before your existing characters. Please note, this will render your start menu shortcuts inoperable and you wont be able to get to the TPC GUI. You can even delete the start menu shortcuts (I did).
41#"\Windows\load.exe" -hide "Program Files\Tornado PowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe" bright hide9) Now goto your install directory and youll see 3 shortcuts named
Power_On.lnk - controls what happens when your backlight is turned on
Power_BacklightOff.lnk - when backlight turns to dim
Power_UserIdle.lnk - when phone goes into idle (screen off)10) Those 3 files are EMPTY and TPC will not do anything with them if they remain the same.
11) omapclock.exe is included with TPC install and is in the same directory omapclock will respond to command line prompts just like TPC did earlier with Step 7.
12) Delete Power_On.ink. Create a shortcut to omapclock.exe and rename it to Power_On.ink. Edit the shortcut. add '-clock XXX' where XXX is desired speed (I have read other forums where people got stable results at 252 but I elected to stay with 240 for piece of mind)
Heres Mine:
30#"\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 24013) Reboot and run omapclock from startmenu to make sure that speed is 240, close phone and let screen turn off and repeat
14) Enjoy
Note 1- If you want TPC to lower the speed of the processor when the backlight dims then do the same method as step 12 except replace Power_BacklightOff.ink. I dont know why you would want to slow down the phone even further but I guess you could in theory edit Power_UserIdle.ink and underclock your phone to save battery life maybe.
Note 2- Im using this on erofich's WM6 on Cingular 3125 and tested/benchmarked differences using TCPMP with a Youtube video saved in .flv and noticed significant improvement.
load.exe - props to Slavic for creating
TornadoPowerControl shortcuts

Wow, great post! This worked perfectly on my 3125. Thanks for putting this together!
I saved the 3 edited shortcuts and zipped them up, if anyone would like them for quicker install, e.g. after a new flash, or even if this is your first time.
Once you have installed the TornadoPowerControl cab, copy TornadoPowerControl.lnk to \Windows\StartUp (this replaces steps 3-7 above), and copy Power_On.lnk and Power_BacklightOff.lnk to \Program Files\TornadoPowerControl (overwriting the blank files) (this replaces steps 9-12 above). I have overclocking set to 240 and backlight off clock set to 180 - these can easily be edited to whatever values you want, but you won't have to do the extensive t9 typing required for the full creation of these shortcuts. Will save some time if you flash frequently and/or set up multiple phones.

how do you add italicized text to the beginning of the shortcut file? Changing the font within total commander makes the whole file italicized.
Thank you for great job
Btw, this is the latest version
2.0 Beta 4 - Fixed a bug causing the state of the CPU Speed Indicator not to be saved at exit. Fixed a bug that would cause the application to not fully exit under rare circumstances. Changed form behavior to only show one form at a time - The main form is hidden when another form is active.

I appreciate the answer I don't mind risking my Focus since I am upgrading. I'll give it a shot.
First off, please report the results of your experimentation! This could be a handy tweak.
Second, there's an entire accessibility Settings menu. It's hidden by default (for no reason I can figure) on some phones. Hiding it is a registry setting, and some apps (like Advanced Config on http://touchxperience.com) will switch it for you. Something in there may help.
Third, double-tap just sooms in on the element that you tapped. If that element is pretty big already, it won't zoom very far. You can, at any time in IE, use two fingers ina pinching motion to fine-control the zoom level, or zoom in wherever you want to. This also works in the email reader view.

the idea changing the value of FontSize doesn't work!
EDIT!!! F*&% photoshop defaults to background again when I save! This is ****ting me to tears.
EDIT: Just had a read of this articleabout photoshop background layer being saved by default after reading this guy's thread here
Short answer is that Layer 1 is an arbitrary assigned value to any layer above the background. Layer 0 is what your image needs to be so simply renaming the default value of 1 to 0 works AFAIK. I will be testing this in a couple of minutes.
Will leave the rest as a reference for everyone else. They may learn from my stupidity. I did use the search button though it just took searching and searching till I found that guys thread above that had something specific that applied to my situation.
Hi,
I have am a confident at Android, I have build ROMs and I have a great deal of knowledge and for some reason the most simplest thing stumps me and that is getting bootanimations to work. I understand how they work and I know its not the frame rate or anything like that it has to be something to do with my export settings? Can someone here point me in the right direction?
I will give you a scenario here and why I have mentioned the above. I can get an existing boot animation that is 100% functioning and working and then I might edit the images, say for instance I am changing the colours. I don't change their size or physical dimensions in any way shape or form (they will even play in the preview emulator perfectly), I flash them to the device and nothing? Blank screen on boot up. It completed the boot and opens the OS, but for teh duration of the boot sequence when there is usually a boot animation working it shows completely blank?
Surely it has to do with my export settings? I'm competent with use of GIMP and Photoshop, I have GIMP 2.8 the latest and PS CS6.
Can someone with some knowhow here PLEASE help me with supply "secret settings" for their export of images?
I read somewhere that the images need to be reindexed? I don't know how to do this? I have edited other PNGs that are non-bootanimation PNGS and I knew I had to uncheck indexing and check the box for R,G,B and that allowed me to edit the image.....but if I check the box for an boot animation image (set to R, G, B) back to indexed; when I close the image and re-open it again its back as a R, G, B image? WTF?
I have heard somewhere they need to be 24bit? I have NFI what that means or where to change it? My version of photoshop only has listings for 8bit, 16bit and 32bit?
Yes my kernel allows for bootanimations. Yes a boot animation was working on my phone!
I can change nothing except the colour of the images; package them in the same location in the zip; Test on the previewer for Windows; load it to the phone -> nothing!
EDIT: YES Permissions are set correctly. I can even change back to the boot animation that I changed the colour and it works perfectly
I read now 8 bits per channel. And there is 3 being that they are RGB, which makes them 24bit anyway? WTF is wrong. I fail hard if I can't get a boot animation working LOL.
