[REQ] Slingplayer fix for WM 6.5.3?

Hi...
has anyone got a solution for the bottom softkeys/menu and icons on 6.5.3..when using the Slingmobile app?
thanks
Singh

I second the request for help on this. The program is very difficult to use without the bottom row of buttons.

Moved as not software release requests go to Q&A

i would also like to see some solution for this problem

Nothing seems to forthcoming. Anybody?

Come on guys...
Someone must have a solution?
I can't go into the ins and outs.. but lets just say... v1.6 is the one that we all be using.
So.. we need to fix this version and not wait for a new version. It's not going to be fixed in a newer release.

Difficult or impossible? Without the bottom row, I cannot bring up the channel panel to change channels. Is there a way to change channels at all without that panel?

Yes... Program the on screen shortcut keys...
thats how i'm using it... but I cannot go into full screen. there simply is no way to click on it on the bottom bar.

The only way I can get into full screen is to open the keyboard. Of course that's not totally practical having to have my keyboard open all the time for full screen. Have you tried something like Gyrator 2 to maybe see if when Gyrator puts it into landscape, the fullscreen activates?
I have a Touch Pro 2 BTW.

The keyboard will do the remote control tasks for you. I believe the keystrokes are the same as for the keyboard on the Desktop version:
The Numbers type numbers
G is Guide
Up and Down Arrows change channels.
X is exit, etc. I don't know where to get a full list.
Also, I set Slingplayer to Auto-Rotate using G-Config. The Window Class name is SlingClient. This gets me to full screen without opening the keyboard.
That's about the only way I can make it so I can use it.
If anybody wants the files in the program's folder I can send them. Just PM me.

Hmm, strange. I added Slingplayer to the Whitelist for autorotate, using G-Config and it's not rotating. I reboot and looked at the registry and can see it there(SlingClient), but Slingplayer just won't rotate unless I open the keyboard.

Hmm, weird, it stopped working for me as well. To be honest, I can't remember when it stopped, but it used to work. Perhaps it's the standard 6.5 builds that do it.
Well, this makes it even more important to fix this issue. I have submitted a support request to Slingbox, so we'll see what they have to say.

They fixed it!!!! YAY!!!

I did some modifications on SlingPlayer.exe 1.6 version to at least look better on my phone.

I have a Samsung Intrepid, I tried installing and customizing with the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 but no luck. The toolbar was on the right side and my pictures wouldnt fit on the screen as well.
I was curious to if anyone had any other custom roms for Windows 6.5 on a Samsung Intrepid worth trying out??????????????

increase scrolling speed of the star menu

as written by Title, is possible to increase the scrolling speed of the star menu?
I don't know if is possible to set a parameter with one system editor..i would like to have a scrolling as,for example,in the program "S2U2",and precisely when you chose in this program your wallpaper because is too much fast of the normal velocity of the htc star menù
I hope I don't ask too much.
thanks in advance!

is my first post and so I would to thanks all of you for your fantastic work for htc device,thanks so much, because now I love my device.
I love this forum!
I hope someone can help me, I think is not difficult for all of you.

97 wiews, anyone that can help me...

perhaps because the question is hard to understand. What do you mean with "star menu" ?

ok, i see you are talking about the start screen and i guess you do not know that scrolling here is programmed to stop after each screen.
for each swipe the screen is scrolling and it stops when full, next swipe another one screen down and so on...
the scrolling is not continuous like in the all programs or contacts but it is screen by screen. this gave you the impression that is slow.
this is done so u are not going to "over shoot" / over scroll and then have to scroll back.
i know i might be not clear enough but this the best i can do.
i do not think u can improve it.

is the START MENU'
excuse me to all.
I forget the "T" letter.

ah-start menu. I read star,then s2u2,then wallpaper...so I was confused.
Did you tried this:

?

This start menu make my crazy too .
For me this is absolutly stupid way to scroll page by page.
The idea of this kinetic scroll (if I not wrong with the name) is the scroll distance to depend of the finger slide speed.
If somebody have solution, I will be grateful too!

You need to flash either a WM6.5.X ROM (builds 28xxx and 23xxx) or a ROM based on Windows Mobile build 23016.
OR you try this: Copy the physicsengine.dll file from the attached .zip to your Windows directory and overwrite the old one. Then restart the device.
You need a file manager like Total Commander or Resco Explorer for this, the built in File Explorer is not able to overwrite system files.
However, this could do all sorts of damage to your system, maybe it won't boot anymore or something else. Try it at your own risk

Yes, but I cannot guarantee that it will work, and you should maybe back up your system before you do this.

Text in Comm manager screen became corrupted

After installing and un-installing an hebrew support package (known as "the_dude"), the names and descriptions of the devices in the Comm Manager screen are no longer intelligible - see attached image (sorry, couldn't display it within the post, newbie restrictions).
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!

hard reset you phone, you have removed the system fonts (or screwed the reg settings for them)

if you doubt and you know so much why have you posted for help?
also that screenshot shows that you have deleted a system font, thats why all the squares.
(I posted a reply because i know the answer, not for a laugh - i felt sorry for you as a new user, otherwise i wouldnt even have bothered posting what i did!!)
as you are all knowing and you doubt me, enjoy fixing your error.
I mean what the hell do i know, im only the guy who mapped out the WM6.5 and WM6.5.x font systems so i REALLY doubt id know!!
READ THIS
MG

All i'm saying is that it's logical to assume that all the captions in the Comm Manager screen use the same font. So, if some of the captions (e.g. "ActiveSync") are still readable, it means that the font probably hasn't been removed.
Wouldn't you agree?

nope! there are about 20 different font used by the system, some named different but the same font.
so if you remove a particular font you can break for eg the keyboard font, but not he menu font, ehrn thought they are the same.
also you have things like fontname.ttf, fontname_bold.ttf, fontname_italic.ttf etc, you can remove fontname.ttf, but the other 2 will still work.
i think this is what happened to you, the comm mge txt is the same, except one is bold, what ever you installed has removed one of these fonts.
just hard-reset, it is 5 mins!

When have M$ done anything logically? it would be logical to hae 4 fonts, all the same but bold italic normal and thin, and thats it. why the hell have as many as they do? stupid if you ask me!
MG

Thanks, that clears it.
I'll probably go for a hard reset, but i wouldn't want to lose all the content, so perhaps you may suggest the name of the missing font?

Solution to the HD2's crappy keyboard!(updated 10/3/2010!now with working xt9 button)

Ive managed to edit some of the xml files for the built in keyboard and i have to say that it works so much better now.
the idea to make the keyboard work better was inspired by how the buttons were spaced on the iphone. i noticed that they were spaced farther apart compared to the hd2 so i painstakingly edited every buttons' "virtual" position and this has resulted in a keyboard that is much more responsive(the lags seem to have lessened considerably) and accuracy in typing is now at par with an iphone.
i never use xt9 so i just removed it(in the 1st three attachments)w/c also resulted in reduced mis pressing it when trying to press an "A".
i also moved the dpad arrows(also in the 1st three attachments) to the top making the period, comma and spacebar easier to press without mistakes.
the backspace button has been enlarged for better ergonomics.
to lycox, thanks for letting me use your skin. heres the link to the original skin's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709916
thanks also goes to p107r0 for leading me in the right direction.
this wouldnt have been possible without XmlGui so big thank yous to programatix.
Instructions: download the attached rar files.unrar and copy all files inside the folder directly to the windows directory of your HD2(you will need a 3rd party file explorer like resco to overwrite the existing files). soft reset. thats it...
i strongly suggest to backup all the files to be replaced just in case something goes awry.
do this at your own risk.please dont blame me if your phone suddenly gets bricked. mine worked perfectly after replacing all files.
please leave a comment after youve tried it.
this is only for portrait mode. i didnt touch landscape coz i dont use it...
if theres anyone kind enough to make a cab file out of this please do.
EDIT: if you need xt9 use the Orig KB Edited attachment
Update: i made a version 2 of the mod with the spaces between the buttons even farther apart. some people might find this more comfortable but the mod sometimes results in "no presses". and by the way i succesfully skinned the spacebar and shift key thanks to dinik and p107r0.use the attached sipmap.dll in the fallout keyboard rar file but its far from perfect.eg:the .com button has disappeared.i have to look into this a bit more to fix it...
if you want the original gtx skin just replace the fallout png files with the ones from the edited kb rar file.
EDIT 2: i added an original version with the arrows at the bottom and the xt9 working.
EDIT 3: i know its a bit confusing but to shed some light on all the attached files heres an explanation.
the first one(Edited KB.rar) is exactly like Edit KB by boogiecornejo.cab except in cab form.
the third(FAllout KB.rar) is like the first two except that its semi skinned with a fallout theme.
the last(Orig KB Edited10-3-2010) contains the files needed to replace in the windows folder to get the functionality of my mod using whatever keyboard you already have(assuming its a normal layout eg: with the directional arrows at the bottom) in your device.
i hope that shed some light on whatever questions there are about the files...

Thanks!
I abandoned the original due to the many typo's. My first impression of your modded version is very positive.
Regards,

How do you switch from alpha to numeric keys (can see how to get back but how do you get to it in the first place)? Does it still use XT9 and error correction as per original even though you've removed the XT9 button?

hello dunc!to switch from alpha to numeric just press the @ button.
xt9 is completely disabled and im not really sure how to turn it on without having to go back to the drawing board. editing the xml file is to say the least "tedious" but if a lot of people would request it back i might, as i said, "go back to the drawing board"
its actually a miracle of sorts that this mod worked coz im not really into developing anything on these forums. this is actually my first real contribution to the community despite having been around for the last 6 or 7 years...

I would like to give it ago but i do use the XT9 function all the time, at the moment i've gone back to the old style phone keypad rather than a qwerty keyboard as it seems to be less laggy and the buttons are far larger (i got fat fingers)
Good work on this though i'm surprised no one else has done something before wish i knew where to start

@boogiecornejo

If i install the cab and don't like it, will it restore back to the original keyboard ?

lol congrats on this release.
to me it is difinately looking very impressive.
+1 to go on the xda portal
oh would difinately try it out once it has got some decent skins cause it currently looks.... kinda like a little bit like spiking my eye. along would my screwed up today screen I just dont want anything else added into the phone....
will report back once I reflashed and installed the keyboard.
congrats, good luck, and keep up this master piece
cheers

if you want to turn t9 on/off switch keyboards to another e.g. compact keyboard hit the t9 switch option and then change back to your normal keyboard and t9 will be changed

i actually dont know so i suggest you download both the cab and rar files.open up the rar and see what files are there then backup the original ones of your hd2. install the cab file and if you dont like it then just put back the original ones into your windows/ folder.
hope that helped...

Yeah, noticed this on mine - left space and shift keys in original style unskinned. Also keys don't line up on mine - i.e. when I press 'H' I get a 'B' and so on. Looks like I'll have to stick with Resco KB Pro for now!

I've got the same issue. None of the keys match up even though the pop-up of each key press is correct.
EDIT: It looks like it was just an issue with XT9. XT9 must be turned off before using this layout. Just go into any of the other keyboard layouts, select ABC instead of XT9, switch back to Full QWERTY keyboard, and everything works like its supposed to do.
Thank you Boogiecornejo for making HD2 keyboard finally functional. I went from an iPhone to the HD2 and I always missed how well the keyboard worked. Great Work!!
