Donations for buying a VGA device ;-)
Thanks for your appreciation and encouragement! (Please do not donate less than ONE USD, otherwise it will all go to PayPal.)
As I could only test this on my HTC Touch and VGA Emulator, I do not really know how it will look on other phones ;-)
Hints:
For the locking, keep on pushing the lock button, I use a OnClickHold Event
As in Home2 this enables the standard locking function of your device (on my HTC touch this is the same function when I press the red hardware button 3 sec.)
For quick lock the phone you can now also ClickHold the arrow button (no need to change to the 2nd panel ;-)
For the FlightMode, keep on pushing the Phone Button, I also use a OnClickHold Event to prevent an accidental switch to the flight mode.
For turning the phone in vibration mode press and hold the ringer volume button, click one again to switch back to the former volume.
When you click on the time hour digits the Calender Application opens, when you click on the time minute digits, the Clock/Alarm Application opens.
After changing settings, the screen is NOT updated automatically immediatly, either wait one minute or press the panel change button (arrow button) to see the changes.
Change the terms.xml file for your language, the included terms.xml is english and a terms.german.xml file is also provided (rename this to terms.xml if you want the whole stuff in german)
S2U2 Support:
If you have S2U2 installed as locking application you should set the path to s2u2 in the file myphonesettings.txt
Sample for editing the s2u2 path:
s2u2path=\Programme\S2U2\s2u2.exe
Note:
If the file is not present the standard locking mechanism will be used
If the path to s2u2 is wrong, no locking will happen!!!!!
S2U2 is a great application which you can find here
Possible Settings in the myphonesettings.txt file:
AppHourOnClick (when tapping on the hour digits)
AppMinuteOnClick (when tapping on the minute digits)
AppF1 (when tapping on F1)
AppF2 (when tapping on F2)
AppF3 (when tapping on F3)
AppF4 (when tapping on F4)
Sample for F1 to start the calendar application:
AppF1=\Windows\Calendar.exe
Sample for F1 to call a phone number:
AppF1=Call+1234567890
note: Call must be typed exactly as shown (CALL or call will not work!!), blanks are automatically removed at dialing.
Awaiting you feedback
Greeting from Austria
