how do you capture the today screen on your computer?

first i would like to say thanks to you guys that for all the work you have done with the different post on this page.
i have seen in different threads you guys are putting pictures of the screens of your phones on the threads. this would be a great help for me at my work and for different threads in the furture.
so if you guys could help me out that would be great,
thanks

xnview is a freeware app for pocket pc that includes a function to take screen captures after a few second delay. It also beats the pants off the default picture viewer, but of course that's my opinion. Works well from the storage card as well.

hi
u can also use pocket PC controller, it is packed with features including recording your activity lika a video, i think overall a great application.

I use MagicSS (free) from here:
http://www.louterrailloune.com/index_old.php?page=magicss
I've assigned it to a hardware button and can take instant screenshots of anything including the today screen.

i use jeyo mobile companion to capture a screenshot directly in the computer. there are other screen capture programs that you can use.
then i upload the file at http://img162.imageshack.us/ and copy the link that comes out, pasting the said link to my post

Please do read the General forum here at XDA-Dev - I've also posted a full overview of all these questions there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275930

Enter if you dare...(Questions from a new user)

Phone = AT&T Tilt.
I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find

However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.

I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck

being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.

Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:

Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that posted a reply in here. I am trying, still having trouble finding the items but every search brings a new .cab installation to my phone!
Thanks Guys!

I happen to have the WLAn Registry fix bookmarked as I have to run it after every new ROM install. (Scroll down to find it)

Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool - Recommended

Hi all.
There is a 47 page thread on this tool but I thought I'd start a new one as it seems to be such a useful tool that newcomers could benefit from, and being here it will hopefully be easier to find!
I've used Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool to:
1. Remove sim contacts from contact view (so no duplicates)
2. Turn down the volume of the starting up wav (so you can reset at work or at 1am in the morning when your partner is asleep!).
3. It works with my Windows Mobile 6.1 (HTcustom doesn't)
4. It is a .cab file (on your desktop it will appear as a ".zip" icon). All you have to do is save it to your desktop, copy it to your device (storage card will do), then tap it and install it on your device.
The link is on at the bottom of page 1 of this thread by Schaps himself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
Scroll through the 47 pages on that thread and you will find other language versions that other users have offered.
There are many options available that I do NOT know how to use or benefit from,
so if any experienced users have any tips on how to get the most out of this tool,
your reply to this thread would be most appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Mattster.

Strange... No replies to this thread? No great settings to recommend, no change-of-life testimonials after the first use of the app?
Just installed it and went for first settings change. Let's see if my HTC Pro shall still live after I restart...

cool stuff, gonna try it out now
thanks dude!

I reckon the quietness is because people seem to only leave threads when they are unhappy about something or have a problem!! This tool is very useful. A light version is built into many ROMS these days, but this one has a few extras.
I use it on any ROM to:
1. Increase the width of the vertical scroll bar. My phone is in a leather case, so the extra width makes it much easier when using the stylus.
2. Change the default storage location for photos taken with the camera.
Hope it helps you too!

Bugs and fixes for TF3D (Landscape) centralize discussion

Since we don't have a common source of this new TF3D and every cooks have it's own implementation. I think it's better to centralize the bugs and fixes discussion to collects all the brain power/knowledge here to get this puppy stabilize.
Current base: TF3D2 from Topaz rom
Read the following rules before you filed a bug:
This thread is not about how to install TF3D and assume you got TF3D installed and working
This thread is intended to get TF3D working as what it should be. Go somewhere else for Mod/Customization, and how to do this and that.
Make sure you got Opera 9.5 installed as many features rely on it.
Read the existing list first before you file a new one.
Only report reproducible bug w/ details/steps to reproduce (Don't report any random crash/bug that you cannot even reproduce it)
You are welcome to report any existing bug that is not happening on you so that we could look into the diffs
Fixed Bug list (fixes in the attached zip file):
TF3D show HTC logo but won't start: Missing htcDutils.dll
Camera button don't start: Use the Camera package from Rhodium
"My contact card" in setting is not working / call history crash ..etc: Missing httpclient.dll
"Use Camera" in "Edit Contact Card" brings up video recording instead of picture taking: Set HD Camera Apps as the default camera apps.
"Sim card not ready" error for SMS message (call history > call entry > Messages tab): Missing CommManagerDll.dll
"Key Lock" status is not saved after soft-reset. Fixed w/ latest Rhodium packages (don't remember exactly which). Current workaround is change it in registry.
Existing bug list:
Sms reader tab can show only 25 messages (I cannot confirm it since I don't have that many SMS msg)
TF3D Panel is not working. PM Pubba already to see if he could help

bug in itje 4.0 beta 3
- call history crashes almost all time
- "all people" crash after 1 swipe down
are ok in your rom?

I don't have this issue. I bet it's the missing httpclient.dll

httpclient? Can you share this file? I have the same issues as itje in my rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486582
edit:thx, found by myself but it doesn´t work. I just copied it to the windows folder, let´s see if there´s a change by cooking it in but I think it won´t help. Maybe there´s a missing reg key or sth. like this.
@guap
What do you mean by swiping down? The contact pictures in TF3D? I don´t have this issue, only the issues in the call history tab.

yes, I found the refrence to this too..
But I have not yet found what cause the weather not to show up on calendar tab "today" tab
any one?

Hmm weather shows up in weather tab on my rom. Did you set your city in the clock settings area? I think thats what causes it to work

weather shows up in your B3 as well Itje.
It's set exactly as Bxsteez says, you have to change the location in the clock..

I can not get it to change to farenhiet though. Oh well something is better than nothing

lol, typical
sometimes you work so much to find a sollution that you are looking to deep into it, and not seeing the easy one right before your eyes...

Camera button don't start: Use this (rename 2 files from cameraHD to camera), or camera.exe provided by Itje
Click to expand...

Quick question on this. This is for the camera button in the pictures tab or the hardware camera button?

Yeah sorry I didn't even realise it was a problem that one, until I saw this thread as I was playing with it earlier on today, I presumed it was common knowledge.
BXsteez, I think that's for the camera button in the photos tab.

So the camera application is called camerarunner.exe and i should rename camera.exe to camerarunner.exe

What about this one? Do any of you encounter this or not?
Bxsteez, that's right. U can rename Skype.exe to camera.exe to have it called Skype instead in the Photo & Camera tab.

Ok cool. I have another little thing i want to do if someone can make me the cab.
If i'm reading the files in the keyboard package correctly we can actually edit how the keys are mapped and how hardware recognizes them. There is a file that is called et9.rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt that basically seperates each row of keys and tells u what happens when u press the funciton key. If someone still has the keyboard cab that was removed we can test out my theory.
**EDIT**
I found the cab and it looks like i was right. We might have a nice keyboard fix coming soon.

@jack
Yeah I got the same camera issue

it was very simple: select YOUR city (and not "local" in new clock tab

If this works with the latest Jerpelea Kitchen then I am happy to try tweak it to work.

Thx mate, but I mean the contact tab which makes some problems. Itje said, that he fixed this issue.

Can we seriously still not rotate and crop?

The Kaiser was able to crop photos and rotate them around, and I cant for the life of me stand to believe that this phone isnt capable without spb mobile shell. It wouldnt be so bad if the camera didnt store the photos upside down and sideways , no matter which way you hold the phone.
I have G sensor disabled for camera in G-config and can hold camera straight up and down and the pic store upside down one shot, and right side up the next. same problem if held horizontally. and take a pic. its becoming quite aggrivating lol. If I have missed something somewhere please flame me in the right dir .Thanks

I was a bit disappointed I couldn't find a decent app for this. As far as I know, cropping is limited to looking at a picture in Album, zooming to whaty you want then hitting menu and save screen, which will save what you see on your screen. Haven't seen any rotation or anything of the like anywhere. Perhaps whatever app you used before could be found or packaged as a cab and someone could provide that?

you can rotate and crop with the regular pictures and videos app

The tool you want to use for editing your photos is \Windows\pimg.exe (even most "cooks" don't remove this...I think it's the system's image rendering tool).
if you're like me and you really hate the reduced functionality of the Album app, just edit the file associations with Schap's Advanced Config, so they all open pimg instead of album.
