[12/9] nueLight3 - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

(2) I’ve been experimenting with new UI interfaces, the latest engine and API I’ve developed aims on blending in with Manila. You can see it in the new beta of nueLight3, which aims to replicate the look and feel of the HTC CommManager – It supports both orientations and uses the same style resources as the HTC comm manager, allowing easy porting of existing skins – it now also has the advantage of being able to use the same resources under multiple resolutions (automatic stretching). Hopefully this allows Windows Mobile to be a little more attractive in the future…. you can download a preview version here (note only the CAB is available right now). As usual, please avoid direct linking and mirroring. It uses the HTCCamera1.dll interface now, so it should be compatible with all HTC devices with flash. In addition, the morse code transmit rates are now calculated automatically based on desired WPM, using the (dit_time = 1200/WPM) “PARIS” method.

Note that only the CAB is version 3, also note that this is a beta so there might be some small bugs (ie. high beam is intermittent sometimes)...

Other than the High Beam issue (flashes), it's working looks nice and works great.
Just one question - NET 3.5 required? I only ask because just like with your Power/Backlight CPL item, this crashes once I exit (with the "report this error to MS" crash).
I have NET2 and 3.5 (2 is default)

it shouldn't rely on .net at all. does the error have any specifics?

Thats a pitty.

An idea... could you make the application perform the flashes on the screen (fullscreen white light) for devices that do not have flash??
That will make everyone happy

---

pretty cool application, but my light wont go off, somehow it allows me to exit the program and wont turn the light off for anything, i have to restart my phone to turn it off, the camera app wont come up either. If you could fix this lil bug id use this over the htorch

---

will this run on any wm device? and version?

BUG - Exit app at instruction screen will cause LED to stay on
As far as the program exit issue: I will try to repeat it and gather/note any details reported or take a screenshot (generally happens upon exit, but hasn't happened since the first time using the app).
I did notice a bug, though (if it's a bug/feature, not sure):
1: Start the application
2: When presented with the notice about sliding finger up to bring up the menu, click the [X] to close it (must set HTC Task Manager to close app when clicking [X])
The LED will now stay on, and no other app will be able to control it (or, in some cases, even start, such as nueLight or hTorch).

I 2nd this. maybe instead of the features you have, maybe for us non flash pda's like:
full brightness, half brightness etc.... or something like that?

---

The app won't start on my HTC Wizard

---

really cool aaps,...
any qvga version?

---

Dude! I love this. You ought to contact D-MAN666 and see if it is possible to integrate this into TF3D!

---

agreeee,.

---

not bad.
how ever highbeam makes my x1's bright light flash instead of staying on.
also since the rez on my x1 is wvga after going into the about screen and then back the bottom of the background is no longer shown.
im guessing the background can be fixed with a theme edit. but any clues or ideas about highbeam flashing instead of staying on would be cool. unless its supposed to flash.

This also works on qvga devices..

X7510 doesn't take to nueLight
During the installation a warning about the software being developed for an older version of WM appears.
Then it just wouldn't start.

---

Works great, wondering if you might release a new version. If you do could you just make in program files and not in its own folder.

---

would you make it compatible with samsung omnia ?

---

Awesome tool i've been using it for quite a while now. I love the morse-code option.
I have to agree with moullas and wanwarlock to add a feature for none HW flash device's to make it a complete and ultimate flashlite app.
