FingerSuite
by
Francesco Carlucci
Graphics by 12aon and Kraize
FingerSuite replaces standard menu and messagebox for our windows mobile devices.
Usage:
- configure autostart, skins and applications by new control panel applet.
- If fingermenu or fingermsgbox are visible, tap on left softkey (no label!) to access service menu (see video demo below).
- Slide right to left anywhere to go to parent menu. Last slide minimizes fingermenu.
Of course, this is a beta application so use it very carefully!!!!
These are video demonstrations of the application:
v1.09
v1.11
v1.12
For ROM cookers:
- if you want to change FingerMenu installation path, put a String value named InstallDir under [HKLM\Software\FingerMenu] e.g. InstallDir = \Windows
- if you want to change FingerMsgbox installation path, put a String value named InstallDir under [HKLM\Software\FingerMsgbox] e.g. InstallDir = \Windows
For skinners:
Put your skin under \Program Files\Finger<Menu|Msgbox>\skins under a custom folder, then select the skin from control panel applet. Edit font and color settings in settings_finger<menu|msgbox>.ini files.
Keep in mind that:
- selection_Xvga.png height is the menu item height
- btn_<up|down>_*vga.png height is the up/down buttons height
Multilanguage: it's provided by mean of MUI files under program folder. By default english is selected if correct rom language is not found. If you want to contribute with your language, edit Finger<Menu|Msgbox>.exe.0409.mui files changing string tables, menus and language id (important!), rename it according to language id and post to this the thread please.
ONLY 2 LANGUAGE SUPPORTED: ENG and ITA.
For developers, I code all the application using WTL and C++, so there is no need of .NET CF. I tested it only on my QVGA devices, but it seems to work well also under WQVGA/VGA/WVGA emulated device.
About me: I'm an 31 years old italian boy and I work in Rome for a big IT company. Really I haven't so much time to coding, so I want to thank my girlfriend Agnese for her patience.

so i have to manually setup what the menus do? i'll try it out now. seems like a great app to make the soft key menu more finger friendly like tf3d.

thank you.
Yes, for now the setup is manual.. the cab is configured only for work with Manila2D and File Explorer apps.
Awesome idea and a really good implimentation. I'm curious what the problem would be if we preconfigured a large list of apps/registry keys and then included that in the cab? Not everyone will be wanting to edit their registry.
if i understand it's working on Manilla and Fexplore?
A chance to have this on other programs which use WM menu style? (Resco explorer; Memmaid; etc...)

Of course, it can work with other programs! for WMP, Resco Explorer and ActiveSync create a file with estension .reg and copy/paste the following text
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FingerMenu\App3]
"ClassName"="WMP for Mobile Devices"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FingerMenu\App4]
"ClassName"="ActiveSync"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FingerMenu\App5]
"ClassName"="RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
then use dotfred taskmanager to import it (www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm).
Soon I'll release a configurator!
adding new programs

see the 1st post he has given example of 2 programs
you can add others by adding the respective registry key(classname and enabled)
Okay so i'll test it good news for the configurator
Maybe a way to skin it as White writing on Black background
Great program!
A few things I've noticed:
-the program only shows 4 menu items, even if there are more in the softmenu. (example: I cannot see "connect via bluetooth" anymore in activesync, and its missing some out of wmp)
-the background goes fuzzy for a second when the program is activated (when you click on a menu).
Seems real nice, ill try it out, possibly when ive got my new device but probably when i wont have to set the app up trough registry
this looks amazing!
thank you so much!
cant wait for a configuration tool
wonderful idea. of course, it would be great if it could set up the menus by it's own. it's pretty tiring to specify each app individually

Thanks! you can scroll the menu with your finger to show remaining menu items. But if you think there's a problem, can you post a screenshot, please?

this is normal. There is no way (according to me) to avoid showing of standard menu. So, my program intecepts the standard menu, hides it and finally shows the new finger-friendly menu.
thank you for trying my app!
some things:
when you click menu(file explorer) it doesnt show the nice menu. but when you click edit or open path then it will show it. BUT you can still see remains of the old menu of file explorer.
oh and i dont know it this was just me but my battery died QUICK with this running...
I understand it might be hard to make a configuration program and therefore changes are still done in the registry. Just a suggestion, why not make it the more simple way? Making it apply to everything as standard and you can set exceptions in the registry... sure would be easier.
new version posted
Love the app GREAT work

I mean in place of just minimizing the task manager to the tray when you close it [by pressing the close button]. An option to close it without minimized to the tray.
I know you can close by going to options.
This is a suggestion .no big deal.

It was the case in the past, but a lot of people preferred to have the TM minimized. Another possibility is to install a close feature like Spb PocketPlus, Wisbar, MagicButton, which allow you to really close an app when you click on the close button.
Cheers,
.Fred
maybe he mean that he want your task manager to handle the closing of other applications when they are minimized
like pocket plus and the rest does
and not close your task manager when he minimize it ?
Hi Dotfred,
I found a little bug in V.2.1. When I export a key from the registry (in this case a DWORD) the hex value is written into the .reg file. But when I import the .reg file the value is read as a dec value.
Wolfgang
Btw, thanks for tis really great app.

What I can do, is let the user have the choice from the options dialog.
So either having the "Minimize" soft key and "Exit" in the menu, or having the "Exit" soft key, and "Minimize" in the menu.
What do you think?

Dotfred a super program but I am relatively new to downloading programs onto my machine. Can you tell me how I get your taskmgr into the my programs section of my Charmer? I can get the exe file anywhere and execute it from here but was wondering if it comes with an icon and can be part of program files. Many thanks once again for a wonderful program..JD76
Is there a way to start this application minimized? is there a tag I can add to the shortcut to do this?

Yeah, try again. It worked for me. There's a .cab
Mh..
Nice wotk, but animation is slow (on my e-ten x800 at least) and doesn't support vga screen.
Icons are displayed wrong.
Works for me too with Qtek S200 Windows mobile 6. iFonz seems to be very good ! Sorry if my englsih is bad because i'm french.
Theres no anamations when you hit an icon.... switch pages is extremely slow... I thought this would be like itask but more like the iphone... please make it faster and put some anamations into it. I can do this with any launcher pretty much.
got..actually before i tried dwnloading with Opera but this time i used IE and it wored..
WOW WOW WOW just installed it and ITS ROCKING
Hi fellas if you have .swf rewrite the end to cab instead of swf and you got it
Nice program, runs well on the Touch Cruise.
Thanks!!!!
Am i missing somthing? All im getting is a black background with iphone icons lke in the pic. NO i phone amamations when hitting an icon... I dont see anythng special about this thing. Again am i missing a file?
Great Start
The basics are all there and ssj5trunks deserves a lot of credit for a very good first beta.
However, I found it quite slow and I started getting memory errors within a few minutes of starting to use it. I also got a fair few program errors.
With a little more work this has great potential but I may just wait a little longer until some of the bugs are ironed out.
Great job though, please stick with it.
No bugs for me at this moment, a lot of things to customize. Verry good job for the author.
A little bit more faster and is perfect !

Seems to be a great new use for our M2D, especially if I can use it with a today flash plugin...
Unfortunately cant get it running on my Manila 2D v2.0 build 19191432.
Here are my details....

Twolf try this make some icons for the tv tab in manila then run M2Dtp config
M2D Widget select TV , then in the red at bottom press and hold select add plugin, choose your plugin select apply, then menu exit .
Now go back to programs and run M2DTP_loader and it will work
I posted some TV tab icons here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5158136&postcount=1918
Thanks dan_ru great addition to Manila
great. let me know when we find a tv app that will work.
twolf
Look like some values are missed in your registry. Take a look at "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Device Lock\" and check presense of value "Type" (DWORD). It must be = 4.
Then - create only one window and try different plugins one by one.
It worked....
Thank you very much.
The operator tab was one of the problems, then some plugins cant run for some reason, the first configuration isnt easy, but its worth it...
As you can see here I was able to enable the TEMPUS plugin:
A few more changes and maybe we can even have W3D (animated weather) working...
I added a zip with my files, its just the original background from the latest M2D, the xml already with tv tab enabled and the home icons a little changed to look like a secondary home.
The plugins that worked so far: softick card export and tempus (throttle html by APBilbo)
The ones that didnt: Titanium, htc home, messaging, screen lock.

Plugins "Titanium" and "Htc home" do not work (because this plugins just launchers).
I've add it to the 1-st post.
"messaging" and "screen lock" must work. Attach registry from "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\" - I'll check it.
Well, to be quite honest I only wanted a flash plugin embbeded on M2D, with it I can try to make a hole new m2d tab.
I was able to stretch the throttlehtml plugin to accept 240x200 flash files and thats almost all the space available (240x230 being the full space)...
A couple of bugs, sometimes after a reset, the TV tab would freeze my machine, for some reason.
And theres no "M2DTP loader" shortcut on the start menu, I had to make my own.
This app is great!
Thanks.
how abt this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD79FXdvmEQ
Btw, I think its even possible to recreate some Titanium plugins or even the Flash gadgets from Throttle:
It would be a mixture of flash and mortscript though, because saddly theres no existing flash plugin that can read registry or run files...
Flash can read simple txt files with variables inside, and mortcript can write those files with on-the-fly registry values, and with the color codes work-around I can even make flash run some pre-selected apps.
But the fact that the device is running M2D, flash and mortscript (to keep updating the variables) all at the same time, would definitely be a battery-hog...
Did a small test with the calendar:
If you press or swipe the sides of the calendar the month changes with a animation.
To use it, simply install and configure M2DTP to use the zipped altered version of the throttlehtml plugin with a black background (also in the zip).
Its already ready to run english (by default) or portuguese, any other language can be changed simply by translating the attached txt file and replacing it on the \Windows\ThrottleHTML folder.
---EDIT---
Made a few changes to make a skin for the latest M2D:
Just replace the files on the attached m2d_2.0_skin.zip onto the \Windows\ThrottleHTML folder and reload the plugin.
Been hoping someone would develop an app for this - great work thank you. Starting to mess now! I think we can see from Twolfs efforts already we're going to have some smart M2D tabs very shortly!
Added an updated version of the calendar onto a new thread, not to crowd this one...

Rumball Diamond Weather - Weather Panel
Hey dan_ru
This is working with the diamond animated weather by Rumball using the Weather Panel plug-in.
The icon sets and setup files are on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781
M2Dtp settings are:
X = 0
Y = 25
W = 240
H = 199
Using the existing weather tab.
In Weather Panel the Layout must be set to Manila.wpl to fit the screen.
It looks fantastic – looking forward to messing more with it. Would be great if we can suss out how to edit the individual tab softkeys…..
Question:
1) When the weather icon is ‘pushed’ it still shows the previous manila weather screen in the background – does your app just overlay the existing functions?

I don't know if this is an issue initially setting Weather Panel up in M2D - I originally went through the set up using the Second Today plug-in.... You could try setting it up in there and then see if it appears in Manila ok after....? Maybe the layout settings I posted initially cover up the 'ok' option...? I'm guessing though..

thanks but it did not help. i also tried setting it up as a plugin on today by itself and i cannot for the life of me get back out of any option screen after going into it. im thinking it might be 6.5.1 bottom taskbar bug? mabye i didnt install it right. mabye i can setup my city and theme through registry?
i installed the program to the device memory and over right the dll. then i put the fonts in the windows font foldr. then i put the weather panel folder on the storagecard root. is that right

Hello,
Your program is very interesting, but I can not use just one problem you encounter, and it is important: only lets you open documents in the folder "my documents" in the main memory device. You should modify the program to allow open and save files in any folder on the device memory and the external memory card.
I have not tested whether extensions can also be associated with your program to automatically open when clicking those files from the file explorer program.
If I could use it widely, as I need, I would donate a sum of money for it, in that there is a problem.
Sincerely,

Hello,
True, I had not noticed having to click twice (or press "enter") to run this option to access all folders on the device.
What if I notice that you can not open large files, not size, but more than 100 KB can not be with them.
Nor could I see if you can associate text files "txt" to open this program directly from file explorer.
Sincerely,
Hello,
I've been testing the program further NotepadWS, which I consider a good application, but there are two problems with it:
I have seen two important issues that prevent me from replacing AgileNotesTouch, which is what I use now, for NotepadWS:
1 .- NotepadWS not allow it to associate with files by extension, to boot automatically with this application. For example, if you associate files "txt" with NotepadWS ... file does not start with "txt" open.
2 .- I do not know NotepadWS maximum size allowed, but a file of 100 KB or more does not open properly. AgileNotesTouch allows very large files sizes, without problems.
It is important that NotepadWS could solve these two problems.
Sincerely,

Hello Xdait,
Now he has been magnificent NotepadWS v2.5 program. Only one small detail I see in my device (VGA) and is the icon of your program in the file explorer leaves very large, so you see only a quarter of the icon ... only that detail.
I just made a donation through PayPal by using the program, as I indicated. I hope you get well.
Sincerely,
Looks interesting, just what i was looking for. Any chance for WQVGA in future?
Thank you a lot JCM!
2.5 -> 2.51
- Now app memorizes the folder of last file used for the next launch
- File shortcuts list added, to open registered files with just one click
QVGA version, probably i will do it, but don't know exactly about the time i need

@xdaid, appreciate the effort you've put in to this app so far. It has a lot of promise.
I've been playing with it off and on since the 2.0 release. It has not replaced me using AgileNotes (which has its own set of issues for me) on a regular basis, but I look forward to the possibility.
Here are my suggestions and please note I understand you have a life and your own set of requirements when you code, so I know maybe none of these comments might be used...
1. if you can support PWI files
2. if you can handle files with carriage return + linefeed end of line terminator (eg, DOS, windows based text files). Right now, files with CR+LF show up as unprintable characters
3. if you can allow for a default file folder on startup. Use the file shortcut UI you just implemented and apply it to select default, and/or favorite folders. I see you've just implemented it to memorize the last used folder, that is a good start and should be retained unless a default folder is specified.
4. allow for a default file type (eg, TEXT, LOG, etc). Currently always defaults to TEXT when you restart the app.
5. suggest adding or putting an EXIT APP type selection/option in your "cmd" CLOSE action list. Right now it has "X" to only close the active tab, but you have to go to the MAIN MENU to exit the app. Just does not seem intuitive in my opinion.
6. allow the user to select a default background color, font size, and font color if possible (to override system defaults). I realize this suggestion may be difficult or out of scope.
Future wish list, knowing it would likely require extra effort as you may not have the development environment to test on:
a. support the newer WM 6.5.x layout with the STARTMENU and "X" button on the bottom of the screen, or at least detect you are running on the newer versions and keep that bottom bar accessible.
b. use a better file selection UI. Right now, at least on my device, you have to tap on the actual scroll bar to scroll. It should be smooth and fluid like some of the default file selection interfaces in AgileNotes or even Resco File Explorer.
c. allow similar option like Resco or Total Commander for double or single tap to open a directory or file in your selection UI.
Again, thank you for the time and effort you have invested in to this application thus far.

@xdaid. Sweet! Did a quick test run, and seems you incorporated many of my suggestions. Nice work so far.
Only major concern right now is:
- allowing up/down scroll gestures in the file selection UI without actually having to tap directly on the scroll bars. Trying to do a scroll gesture typically selects the item your finger first lands on - basically seems the filename/directory listing of that UI reacts to single tap picking only.
Other than that, my left overs from my prior wish list post are still items:
(1) pwi support and (a) winmo 6.5.x UI support
Again those are not critical, just something for down the road - if even possible.
It's pretty close to being my daily editor and that's saying a lot. Keep up the great work.
Please re-download 2.55 cab installer
i forgot to include a small bug fix, now the cab is updated.
@ powinmo: scroll gesture in file selection UI should not be a problem, i will implement it soon.
Instead, pwi support could be quite hard to realize, i have some ideas about how
extract text from / save text to pwi files. Just ideas so far, but i can try..

Thx for update works a treat

@xdaid - appreciate your continued work on the app! Looking forward to seeing that file selection UI more usable and closer to how others UIs act.
As for pwi support, I would put that priority at the very bottom and address any other items you feel are more important.
I do have one additional request after using your app a bit more now:
- add the ability to recognize a scroll up/down gesture versus highlighting text when editing. Right now, when you try to do that the editor strictly acts as if you want to mark text for an action (eg, copy, looking, etc). To scroll through a long document, you have to literally tap on the scroll bar versus the natural inclination of using a gesture.
Other than that, I'm almost sold on trying to the app as my regular editor. Thank you for being so receptive to user comments and suggestions!
For those who like to use the tab character to get fixed spaces / column alignment:
I added a 2.56 version, it's the same as 2.55 but tab character is enabled.

Hello Stefano,
I think your application becomes an application program is essential to our Windows Mobile devices. You've got an editor and text file reader very versatile and practical, ingenious solutions. Thanks for your good program.
Sincerely,
I've been looking for a nice notepad app for a while now, this looks pretty nice . Thanks for sharing!
I have a bit of a request: would you consider adding file 'scheme' functionality. Say you are looking a reg file, the 'scheme' would highlight certain predefined key words or phrases making it more readable. The same could then be true for .xml, .mscr or any other file that can be read by notepad. You think that would be doable?
uTask v1.4
Author: ultrashot
Compatibility: only Windows Mobile 6.5.3. Any resolution is supported, but I haven't checked this program on any resolution except WVGA.
Functions:
1) Reassignment of virtual keys such as "Windows" and "X"
Supported actions:
Standard action
Launch *.exe
Minimize current program
Close current program
Show start menu
2) Task Manager icon on "Today" screen.
You can assign any task manager to this button. Later I will make my own interface.
3) Position Fix for old windows.
Attention! Some applications can work in unexpected way with positionfix enabled. They should be added into exceptions list!
Exception list supports masks. For example, if you enter "SPBWEATHER*", all window classes starting with "SPBWEATHER" will be excluded.
Also there is a confurator inside.
The most evident difference from any existing programs is IMMEDIATE reaction to new windows. No timers and unneeded calculations at all. uTask is very battery-friendly because of that.
Available translations: russian, english, german, french, italian (thanks to translators!)
Changes in v1.4 (release: 29.06.11, compilation date: 17.06.11):
-added classes list
-minor changes
Changes in v1.4 (26-Mar-11):
-fixed HVGA display detection.
Changes in v1.4:
-better today button behaviour.
-auto-resize of incorrect button images.
-bugfixes (bug with few HTCMenus versions, bug with EzInput on some devices)
-installer now shows error message if you try to install uTask on unsupported OS. Then, if system refuses to run after utask installation, try to start your phone two or three times. Perhaps, autodiagnostic system will disable utask. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't make a system backup.
Changes in v1.3:
-more accurate vibration
-increased timeout for clock hook
-ability to *.lnk in configurator
-little changes.
Changes in v1.2:
-some fixes for position fix
-configtool fixes
-stability improvement
-auto detector of problematic apps - seems like exception list is useless at the moment.
-taskbar clock hook - clock will have the same as home key function
-implemented internal size\position cache... should work better for all, especially HVGA devices.
Changes in v1.1:
-added immediate position fix.
-fixed all found bugs.
-added special menu for toolbars (hold finger on old-style toolbars and you'll get an action menu).
-added "Open start menu" action.
-SIP position fix (works for Swype, for example)
-support for two softkeys HDMini-like mode.
-settings were moved to new subkey called "Settings" - attention, chiefs!
Make a system backup before installing! I don't take any responsibility for any damage to phone or data on it.
If you didn't read this label, or you aren't able to read at all, that's your problem
About adding this program to custom roms:
If you feel that everything works as expected - feel free to use it in your custom ROM. If not - post a comment about bugs.
Is there any difference to the xTask? Because you are using the xTask icon.

uTask is a totally different program without any junk and without battery-eating timers.
Looks a very interesting application.
I'm going to test it with HD2 Artemis v.42.
Thanks!
Tested with Artemis HD2 v42.0
It is working flawlessly with every soft key assignment!!!
The only bug I found is the icon of it, it is cutted in the right edge.
jolas, give me your theme and I'll fix it.
overall the app works. For whatever task mgr you use, make sure you put it into the exceptions list (otherwise arkswitch worked once, then errored).
I cannot get the windows long press or the home long press to do anything on my hd2. It doesn't error, it vibrates, but doesn't execute the .exe selected, tried a few of them.
edit: it works for some .exe's and not for others. Overall a very nice 1.0 program.
Here is the theme I use and the softkeys images too
Thanks!
jolas, please, attach all images for further testing.
I see softkeys have not standard size, that's why they are drawn incorrectly.

Two HD2 owners (Korand and AndrewSh) tested it, one with SE X2 (eugene38 from 4pda.ru) and me with SE X1. No issues with long presses. Are you sure you saved settings (silly question, but who knows)?

yes, I saved settings and even soft reset, could not get it to properly open commmgr.exe.

commmgr.exe.

It's not an HTC's Connection Manager, it's system service with no GUI.
You've just been wrong with the selected filename
You need to choose "CommManager.exe"
@ОП: где тема на 4pda? или обсуждение только тут?

Just like NeverGone\RU said, you have to use CommManager.exe instead of connmgr.exe

Here they are (because I didn't know which ones you needed, I put all inside zip).
thanks for your job
Problem solved
ultrashot, I figured out that the problem was originated by the button images I used in my theme (as you said, the size was incorrect).
I changed the size to the original's button size, and now everything is looking perfect!!!
Thank you for this great application!
Does it conflict with CHT2.0 Beta, man?

Run uTask settings and untick 'Vibrate' option...
Like i say this is MUST HAVE for all 6.5.3 Users.. befor i don`t like 6.5.3 Only because not have a good taskmanager with one single click to kill the process and when you are in some app and press X the application do not close only minimaze and this was So so bad and ugly.. NOW all this problems gone with this amazing uTask
Thank you very very much ultrashot
