Flashlight option... - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General

DId anyone ever get the flashlight VJCandle thing operational on the ATOM??

I stopped working on it for a while. I needed a screenshot of the diagnostics program running on the atom to try to disassemble it. If you can send me one, it would help.
I know the atom boys on PDAPhoneHome started working on it. Not sure if they finished.
V

if you tell me how to get the screen shot i will happily send it to u..
Cheers

Use the program Magic SS to grab a screenshot. It's free, on google.
V

sorry actually meant how to run the diagnostics to get the screen shot

Diagnostic program should be in your windows folder. I think it's called SelfDiag.exe.
V

ok i ran selfdiag and it gives a list of items to check, i ran the camera flash and it simply asks is the camera light on Yes/no and once answered it gives it a pass..., am i missing something?

That's the one. It sounds lika a PITA, but a screenshot of the app asking the question re the flash would be useful for me to reverse engineer the selfdiag and find out what mechanism is used in the atom. I had a quick poke around, but it's full of text strings, and I can't run the app because I don't have an atom.

Hiya
ok screenshot attached let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers

Hi Vijay!
Any updates on getting VJCandela to work with the Atom?
I'm really anxious to get this working - so if theres anything you need, let me know and i'll try my best to get it done.

Sorry Kunz, I haven't had time to do any further work on it, I got bogged down with some real life stuff (having a baby, moving house), and have only been getting back into coding slowly when time allows.
I didn't continue with the atom work because I thought someone must have finished the job by now!
What I need: an atom
But otherwise, I can't promise when, but I'll try to get back onto the case as soon as I get some time
V

bugger :\
lgood luck with everything vijay, hopefully someone else can jump on this and move us atom users forward =)

Bluejacking with WM5

I'm trying to bluejack with my M2000 running WM5. I've tryed various software but none of it works, Dose anyone know of any software that will do this? I used to be able to do it in WM2003 just by sending contacts via bluetooth.
Thanks in advance WWWeed........
I would love to find a good pocket pc program that could automaticly bluejack people.on my old P800 i use a program called s-man that does a constant scan for other phones and then sends a message to them over and over again
why would people want to do that ?

there is such a program, i've used it on my old c500 and my jasjar, it's called smurf, I forget the link, but google it and ye shall find. btw it's freeware and does auto bluejacking
STUNNING, STUNNING, thanks for the smurf heads up, you are a star!
doesnt work ir searches devices and then shows an error and quits =(( help
link
Here's the link:
http://www.gatefold.co.uk/smurf/
(download is below on the page)
Looks nice btw :lol:
And you need the Microsoft Bluetooth stack for this one,
finally 'Jack's Back on WM5'
its true, i can blue jack onedevices and then as soon as it trys again-it just comes up with and error, i wish we had a version of S-man (from p800/P9XX)
if anyone know of some better software then please to tell 8)
Ok im bored with Smurf, there must be a better software out there, i would like to do some blue snarfing for fun, does anyone know of anything better out there?
http://www.inventop.com/proximitymailsetup.exe
i havn't tested it yet,it might be the right stuff
no such luck, im sure it would work on the M1000/M2000, on my M5000 it just says it cant find a bluetooth stack so forget that download
can sum1 please post a cab for the the .net compact v.2 thanks!
the file for compact framework v2 is http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/programming/netcf/downloads/default.aspx
thats from the microsoft web page just click the top link and then download the msi file and it will add it to your activesync for next time you sync up
I cant believe that there is still not a good bluejacking program out there for WM5, or windows mobil all together, how come symbian have loads of REALY good ones and we have like 1 and thats not that good either, i rekon someone is holding out and there is a great on efor us out there!.
Anyone?
bluejacking...
Hold your breath...
I'm currently implementing bluejacking in btCrawler.
It's already working for PPC but I need a few more days to put everything up for Smartphones...
You will be able to send messages AND files!
You can for example create your own "special" version 3 vcard including a photo or sound and then send it with btCrawler.
I'm also planning to implement something like a proximity mode. When a device comes in range a predefined automessage or file is sent...
however, link is: http://www.silentservices.de/btCrawler.html
Blujacking?
What is it? I've heard of Bluetooth...but not blujacking. Sounds like something dirty when you talk about Smurfs and blujacking....LOL
Try Sniper... (M$ bluetooth stack req'd)

Bluejacking is the practise of sending text or files to other bluetooth compatible devices that support OBEX push. Most people think it has something to do with Hijacking, but infact it's just named after the guy who came up with it named Jack. Bluejacking in not "Hijacking" or "Hacking" in any sense, you can only push, not pull.
Cornholio you are a star!, i didn't relise you had been making this program, you should start a thread to see if many people are interested!, i will try it out, have you tryed using Sman.sis on a sony Ericsson phone, its very good-it might give you a few ideas.
Oink i have got sniper-it seems a bit slow and fragile but i havnt tested it enough to give a good appion so my mind might change

O2 Active UI Battery NFO Ext Rom 1.13.188

Hi wondering if someone can help.
In the latest rom update from O2 if you install the active UI it will give you a battery today plugin which is quite handy.
Now my question we all know the ActiveUI is horrible will slow down the exec and take up to much space. Is there anyway of stripping out this battery today plugin form the ActiveUI and creating a cab file so it will just install this part. I think the file that is needed from the ActiveUI is BatteryNFO.
Many Thanks
Scott
Wow 50 views and still no one got an answer????
Got to say I'd love this too. I've tried other battery monitors, and none are as good as that one.
Ok i have been looking in to this since i posted and have extracted the signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build88.cab file to my home machine. From What i can see there are 7 files that could be related to this 4 of which start with batter~1.029 and so on the other 3 start with power_~1.070. is there anyway of telling what these files are actually for.
Im no expert at this but surely it can be done as i have seen people have ripped the connection settings from this cab file before so surely the same sort of thing can be done with this.
Cheers
Scott
i agree...looks quite nice this battery plug-in...hope sum1 finds a way of getting it as a cab file soon
Still looking in to this and not going to let it beat me to.
Has anybody ever used this software before.
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=12093
MagicCab PocketPC CAB extractor 0.63
It looks like it is going to do what i need and be able to strip out the battery today plugin from the cab and even tell us what reg settings we need to enter to if i am reading it right but before i commit myself to the $10.95 has anyone ever used it before to clarify that it will do what i need it to do.
If you want something more professional use WCE CAB Manager.
Why not use Batti ?
It gives you just as much information, doesn't take up valuable Today space or slow down your machine, is visible in every application not just Today, and runs in just 20K. And it's free
Right
So far with the advice given to me by ibendlin about wince cab manager and after several hard resets (trial and error thank god for spbpocket backup lol) i have manged to get half way there. But i am having a problem getting the skins to work
As you can see i have manged to sort the today plugin but im having problems getting the skins working even after a soft reset.
Maybe someone can offer some advice i will gladly forward the cab that i have created so far if anyone can offer some suggestions.
Ineedtoys: So far i have manged to get this down to 14kb as for the space on the today screen user preference really, but thank you for your advice on batti.
Anyway off to bed will work on this some more tomorrow
OK, if you dont activate the ActiveUI thing in programs then you can have life without it. To get it to go away now that its on goto \windows\startup and delete the ActiveUI file in there. You cant seem to unistall the program. I just avoid the icon like the pluage.
There are more complex ways of getting what your looking for, but this one is simple and effective
JAmes
ps. then soft reset
Hi James
Tis true what you are saying and this way will work but unfortunatly you will also get about 10mb worth of extra programs installed from the activeUI which take up the oh so precious Device storage space where the actual battery bar it's self only takes up around 14kb
But thanks anyway
yeah but the newer people to the scene might not like playing about with things. I've only just got use to playing about with stuff and up untill now I've been using this solution.
Now i've had the phone a wee while i'm happy to start going for corporate mode but was easier not to when i was just getting use to the whole PDA type stuff
JAmes
I know what you mean we all had to start somewhere right lol.
I stopped using the the personal install about a month after i had my exec it was only through advice from these forums that i actually found out how much space the activeUI took up and also how much it slowed it down.
I use this one:
it shows 2 lines: one for main Battery status and one for Backup Battery status (no more exists in WM5); it works well
tried this one but I still think the one in the latest rom release from O2 looks sharper/prettier....
Yeah i'm planning on giving up the basic mode soon.
let me know how you get on, as I too like this battery meter.
JAmes
Fellas
I Have done it, Sort of. Still a few bugs but i don't think i will be able to sort these limited knowledge and already about 10 hard reset's.
I have been using now for around 8 or 9 hours now and all seems to be fine after the install no memory loss or anything.
Works well in True VGA to.
congrats m8..any chance of u posting the cab file here?
hiya scotjen,
dont mind you posting it out here??
thanks...
damn, I still have a Champions League game against Arsenal later.
got to get back to training soon
Well done.
What bugs are you still experiencing. Maybe someone could advise you further?

Flashlight on without camera???

Hi Guys.
I use the flashlight a lot. It comes in handy but is a bit of a pain having to switch the camera on to use it.
I tried looking through the whole of the registry to see if I could find a way of switching it on without the Camera but no luck. If I could do it' I would either set up a voice command to use it or use one of the buttons directly to run a program to switch it either on or off depending on what it's state is now.
Is it possible or is the flashlight's functions restricted purely to the Camera?
Thanks in advance
Brian

Won't somebody please, give me a Wizard?!?
Just joking...
btw, can someone try Haret on the wizard and check if that starts up the flash. If it does, I'll reverse engineer from there. I don't have a wizard and can't test the more elegant driver based solution without the hardware.

Tried haret on my wizard vijay - application wouldn't even start
meschle: thanks for trying it. I'll get a Wizard one day. Until I get more HTC hardware to reverse engineer, I'm not really clever enough to implement a more generic solution. For now, Universal and variants only I think.
Hey, and thank you again for your PMs

Need step by step to install and setup of Omapclock for a dum user please...

Hi guys,
Could someone please, please give me the step by step in easy language how to install, change, edit and setup omapclock on my wizard 8125, unlocked, updated with TNT WM6.
I have tried all i thought i could but when i change speed and click on register, nothing happens, i am sure it is not installed properly because i could not understand on how to copy, change,edit etc.
Plese help!!!
Thanks,
Sam
35 view and no help???
All the views and no reply to help me??
Please someone take the time to help me.
Thanks,
No offence, but it you cant even understand how to start a program, then you have NO business overclocking your Wizard.
ashasaur, I can start a program
Hi,
I am not that bad and i can start a program, i flashed my phone and updated to WM6 with no problem by reading,and i did do whatever they said to install the omapclock but it does not work and i thought i can try getting help from someone who may have had the same problem and can make life easier for others, if i try and try and find out how to get something to work for sure i'll do my best to explain to anybody who for help rather than wasting my time to reply and try to put people down, after all isn't this site built on good will and helping each other??
Thanks anyway for your reply
Use Battery status, it is easier to configure( for me anyway)
Well, I wasnt trying to put you down...all I was saying is that, OMAP Overclocking can ruin your Wizard, and its not something that a complete n00b should do. I speak from experience, my first HTC Excalibur that I had, I over clocked it to 400MHz, up from 180, and bricked it!
Thanks ashasaur for the advise may be i miss understood, i actually installed and setup the version 4.0 of the program but when i run it and reboot my phone it still shows 195Mhz and no changes and that is why i think something is missing or i am missing some steps to get it running right.
New2City, could you please explain more about battery status method...
Thanks,
Hi New2city,
Thank yu, i found the app, installed and setup and it rung great without a problem.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

You're much better off with batterystatus, but if you get tired of using that, try the smartskey program. It adds functionality to your hardware buttons, and can also manage omapclock so that it runs automatically on startup each time. This is the main shortcoming of omapclock: it won't assert itself at power up.
