[Q][Tasker] How can I do these things in tasker? - HTC Sensation

Sorry for the non-descriptive title, there are many actions I want to do which can't be written in a title.
I want to do following things, but can't work them out. Please help:
1. Clear new message notification (tasker says that it can only clear its own notifications, and not of other apps)
2. Or set message as "read". (so the notification will clear itself ? )
3. I have made a scene which opens when I click a tasker's notification. There is a TextEdit box in it, I want it to be on focus automatically and hence want the soft keyboard to be opened. (I can open the keyboard by making a task but the box is not on focus, so I have to touch the box again anyways.)
4. The text I write in TextEdit box is not wrapped. It just goes on horizontally in one line, I want to wrap it as the text box is three rows in height.
ignore these, I worked them out now.
5. Use volume button to move cursor left and right while typing something.
6. Send email to a predefined contact when we touch a notification, or anything that I define (e.g a floating scene).
I want to fill up the TO box with a contact and press send when I am composing email.
This is done, too.
And, how do I share a single profile here? Because I would like to share some in upcoming days. now.
This is done, too.
EDIT: I have not only made these profiles and tasks but also have shared them on xda here:

Calendar: showtextinweekview

Hi,
This is very undocumented but obtained by disassembling. :roll:
This shows your appointments text in the week view of the Calendar.
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar]
"showtextinweekview:=dword:00000001
Works for Windows CE4+.
Have fun,
Tweakradje
Thanks man,
Best used in landscape on my magician.

Can we see the screenshot :roll:
Victor
sorry no screenshot available
Sorry can't do, my magician won't attach files to the board. The tweak is harmless, so invest 2 minutes & see for yourself. In QVGA long app. don't show all text, but it's better than nothing.

Tried this in HKLM etc on my Universal (the Calendar section doesn't appear in HKCU). Didn't work.
Not in the Calendar HKCU on Wizard. Didn't work.

Key described in first post is correct. How about creating the key yourself ;O)
Works here... event needs to be long enough to fit the text, though
'll post screenshots after a reboot - ActiveSync's not connecting >_<

how did you get it to work. I do not have calendar in HKCU?
Just add it
If you're using PHM Regedit:
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft
2. In the bottom menu, choose Edit > New Key...
3. Set the name to "Calendar"
4. In the bottom menu, choose Edit > New DWORD Value
5. Set the name to "ShowTextInWeekView"
6. Set the value to 1
7. Click OK
If you're using TRE (Tascal Registry Editor):
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft
2. In the bottom menu, choose New > Key
3. Set the name to "Calendar"
4. In the bottom menu, choose New Dword
5. Set the name to "ShowTextInWeekView"
6. Double-tap this new entry
6. Set the value to 1
7. Click OK
Thanks for the fast reply. I got it working just now. This is great.
Is there also a way to show whole day activities in the weekview?
Thanks for that ZeBoxx - that's really useful. Why don't the devices come with these options enabled ?
While looking at this I opened HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowLunarCalendar and altered the DWORD Data value to 1.
After a soft reset go to Calendar, Menu, View and 'Lunar' appears in the drop down. Check it and when you scroll through with the left soft button, there's an extra screen with a month view and D02 - D30 followed by M01 in Feb M02 in March etc. I thought this might be Lunar Phases - but doesn't seem to be. Any ideas ?
They probably disabled it because, let's face it, there's not a whole lot you can read in it unless: 1. your words are short and 2. the event is long enough in duration to show it all
They should have made the week view have a horizontal layout - or at least give that as an option. Then showing the text wouldn't have been any issue whatsoever, and it would be more in line with 'Week' pocket agendas (you know, the paper kind) as well. I have no idea what MS were thinking with the vertical :>
As for the Lunar calendar view - it's a Lunar calendar view.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_calendar
I don't know enough about it to know whether it corresponds with any of the religious lunar calendars, though. You can derive the lunar phase from the Dxx number, though. D01 is roughly 'new moon', D14/D15 is roughly 'full moon'.
If you're using TotalCommander:
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft
2. In the bottom menu, choose Edit > Mkdir...
3. Set the name to "Calendar"
4. Go to the new folder and choose "+Add value+"
5. Set the name to "ShowTextInWeekView"w"
6. Choose type "Dword"
7. Set the value to 1
8. Click OK
I think it very usefull with my Qtek9000 where i mostly see my calendar in landscape mode.
9000 of course is vga as well, and if it's running in true vga mode, should have 4 times the space to show the text
ZeBoxx
If you had the week view the other way you would still have an issue because the text wouldn't fit in the hour / half hour slots !
Anyway thanks for the info on Lunar Calendar. After a bit of research it appears D16 is Full Moon and D30 or M is new moon - maybe that's what the M prefix is for.
Cheers.
BTW I couldn't benefit from the true VGA mode - my eyes won't allow it !!!!
Sure, you're going to run into a limitation one way or another. However, text (in most languages) is left>right or right>left, and you should be able to get a better fit in a horizontal orientation. E.g. your half hour example, they don't necessarily have to be as narrow as they currently are in the vertical layout - you could make them wider, and it would easily fit more text. If you do the same in the vertical layout (make them taller), you're still running into having to chop words up to make words fit.
Either layout would work just fine if the implementation actually had boxes that overlap across days / hours respectively to fit the entire description/location, and only use a small strip to indicate the actual duration. This is actually easier in a vertical layout I'll try and whip up an example picture - attached. A problem that then occurs, of course, is with overlapping events - or events at a time that the new overlapping box would obscure. Never an easy solution
Is there a way to make this work with 2003 SE?
It works on my magician with 2K3 in QVGA, so i do miss a lot text. But it better than nothing.

Contact List Letter Scroll missing!

Would anyone out there know why my contact list no longer shows the letter scroller to the right and instead shows the original windows mobile alphabetical letter groups at the top?
It used to be there, now it's gone...
Not sure, but just to say my scroll bar appears and disappears randomly. I'm sure something's causing it, but not sure what yet. I'll be watching this thread as I'd like to know!
Same here comes and goes which is why I decided to install pocketcm instead
Do you have "Show alphabetical index" ticked under Options? If so, it seems to put a set of tabs across the top of the screen, but removes the list from the right hand side.
Not me, I unticked it a while ago, as per instructions on another post. Still get the scroller bar coming and going.
It's not a big hassle to be honest as I just type the first few letters of a contact when texting or calling them.
I have a German Orbit 2, the Alphabet scroll in the Contact disappears mysterously and randomly, but it re-appears everytime after I install and uninstall PocketCM. Yea, this is a stupid way to get the scroll back.
same here i noticed it weeks ago, just been too lazy to post about it
I believe the right-hand index is known as RandomAccess and it's written by HTC. There's some info about it in the Polaris upgrade/tweak thread.
any Solution to restore the scroller ????

Diamond2 - Change default text size on SMS messages

hallow all
i have an htc diamond 2 , only problem is on sms massages , text is too small and difficult to read, any ideas on how to make text letters on sms bigger???
thanks
Hi!
1) Slide touchflo to the settings tab (the last one)
2) Press the left soft button that should say something like all settings (or maybe "more", I don't have a WWE ROM so I really don't know what the button label is). This will bring up the regular windows mobile settings dialog.
3) Select the screen or display icon
4) In the screen dialog select the last tab at the bottom, I should say something like text size
5) Slide the text size slider to desired value
6) You may have to soft reset the device for the changes to be effective
Regards,
PK
Edited the thread title for a little more clarity.
Also, have you tried sliding your finger on the zoom bar? I know the original Diamond supports zooming SMS text with the capacitive area.

Hi!
I forgot about that simple solution, at least it works in my diamond2

thank you very much for your advice, i have try all but unfortunately nothinkg works, on received sms text still too small, any ideas ? or any program that might fix this?
Thanks
Hi!
Could you please provide some more information regarding how you actually reads your messages. There are at least 3 different places to read a SMS
1) The touchflo SMS tab
2) The touchflo contact SMS tab
3) The regular windows mobile messages application
The suggested solutions mentioned so far only changes the font size in the regular windows mobile messages application (alternative 3). I think the font size in the touchflo interface is hard coded by HTC, and is not changeable without decompiling the touchflo script files and changes the values. This is not something you wants to do, I guess there are only a couple of people in this entire forum capable of performing that task.

PK

ok , nice question , now we getting somewhere , on regular windows sms i can read the text size which i have selected on my system - screen -text size, but needs for someone to play around with a couple of buttons to be able to see that text, also is not that user friendly , (for me at least).
now on the other two cases touchflo sms tabs and touchflo contact sms the text is very small. the last two cases i find it friendly and easy to use and navigate around your sms history with that person.
Thanks a lot.
Regarding SMS editing
DO you know how to solve the problem of the textbox size (to small, you can see only one or 2 lines) when editing an sms from the sms list view ? (e.g. when you want to reply on the same windows where you read the received sms).
Thanks
On WM6.1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\RichEditHostFontFace
That's only the text box that you type in, not the window that displays the messages. If anyone know the messages one, let me know
In settings there is a setting where you change the text size. Make that bigger and SMS will be bigger..

Instant handwriting recognition

At one point i had an application, thought it was Snote or Supernote.....
that when i did handwriting it converted to text automatically while i wrote (if i paused for a second).
It was really cool and in a cool font. I cannot read my own handwriting and this app did it amazingly fast.
Where is it and how do i get it back.
I have even flashed my Note Pro back to 4.4.2 to see if it was some sort of an update to Snote that i found while searching the forum.
Any way no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I might be wrong but it sounds like you might mean the handwriting keyboard. This allows you to write in pretty much any application with handwriting. It puts a little notepad where the keyboard would normally pop up. As you write it converts to text with kind of a cool handwriting font. To access it make sure you have the default samsung keyboard. Then tap the little microphone/gear icon to the left of the spacebar. Then choose the handwriting icon. That should pop up the handwriting pad.
Alternatively there is a google handwriting input keyboard available in the app store, but I find the samsung one just as goo.
Yes I think thats it....i just am missing one piece of the puzzle....which app or application do i start to write my notes in?
I just tried Snote and it didnt do it and i also tries supernote but it didn't do it either.
I just would like to make some great notes and poems and such with a readable cool font....like you mentioned.
I cant seem to see how to attach a pic either... imgur.com/a/WuvaS
Also followed these directions,
tomsguide com faq id-1765262 enable-handwriting-text-note
but the function icon or the T button are not there.
Maybe I have the wrong Snote apk/application
Below is the process (from tomsguide website) that would help you enable the Handwriting-to-Text option in the S Note:
On your Samsung smartphone or tablet, tap the app drawer icon.
Tap the S Note icon to initiate the app.
On the displayed S Note screen, tap the + icon from the top right corner.
On the Select a template window, choose the template of your choice from the displayed list by tapping on it.
Once created, long tap (tap and hold) the Formula Match icon, i.e. f(x), from the Productivity Tools bar at the top left corner.
From the displayed options, tab Handwriting-to-Text icon, i.e. T, to select it.
You will see that now you can use the stylus to create handwritten characters on the page which are then automatically converted to the text.
In order to get the normal handwritten typing format back, you can simply tap the pen icon from the Productivity Tools bar.
You can also follow the 5[super]th[/super] step and select the Formula Match or Shape Match icon to make the S Note recognize the formulas or drawn shapes respectively using the stylus and convert them to their corresponding objects.
You can do it in S-note. After You open S-note make sure YOU select all from the drop down on the upper-left. Then hit the drop down men dots on the right and choose template. This gives you a much larger selection of templates like portrait notes and such. Choose whichever you like and write your note. You can either handwrite Your note or choose the T option and have it convert to text as you write. Once you have it converted to text use the selection tool. Choose properties and then change the font.
Thank you.
I am just flashing Nougat and will check in again later.
Yes the Handwriting Keyboard works.....just not the same as the Snote from before (like on the Note 2).
I did like the Magnetic Lasso.

Gallery PHOTO EDITOR Eye Dropper Missing

After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.
You mean this?
To do this?
Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!
It's on the color palette now
