Great Software for your Kaiser

Guys I am sure some of you have come up with this program already but I thought posting a link to it since its free and works great with the Kaiser when you want to switch/open/close applications without pulling out the stylus.

I configured it to open with the PTT button and then use the wheel to move/select between the options (Active,close,close all)
Hope you find it usefull.

Thanks - I haven't seen this before.
Your link is dead - looks right but goes to the wrong place. I got it with a copy/paste though.
I installed it and it gave the "this program may not display properly because it was designed for an older version of windows" thing. I downloaded the WM6 version and am running it on WM6.
The program did not appear in my Applications. It was not available to be assigned to a button either.
It was sitting there in the Program Files directory though, and I could run it from there.
Looks pretty good. I like the controls and everything - but its a bit disappointing that it doesn't pull the correct icon for every program and you have to do it manually. I don't see myself doing that - so if I'm going to use it I would use it with the default icons.
I think I like it and would probably use it if I can get it to assign to a button.

To be honest its only when its assigned to a button that you will see the benefits specially if its the PTT which is next to the wheel.
Funny you say that. I tried checking my buttons settings and now it doesnt show up on the list of applications however its still assigned to the PTT button so I dont want to mess with it lol in case I screw it up..
Have you tried re-installing it?
I agree with the Icons being a pain although we tend to use the same applications very often so it might not be too much of a hassle.
UPDATE
Its back on the list of my applications available. I have assigned it to button 6 PTT

If you copy a shortcut to the programs folder in windows you can assign a button...

Too bad I actually use PTT :-(

Kaiser Options

Hey fellow Kaiser users,
I'm currently using the Tilt, with Dutty's touchflo rom. I have a few things that I was wondering whether or not can be done within the device. Can these be done? If so, how?
1. Setting TCPMP as default player within the HTC Home Plugin to be able to control the next and previous options from the home screen (assuming just using it for audio purposes) or use a skin on top of TCPMP that looks similar to that of HTC Audio Manager
2. Set S2U2 to startup with device so that you don't have to select it in order for it to run. If this is not possible, is there a way to change the items included in the quick launcher, so that S2U2 or some other program can replace some items included in the launcher?
That's all I can come up with right now, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and by the way, Dutty, your custom ROM is awesome, glad I found it.

I can't help you with TCPMP but if you use a program like Battery status it will give you the ability to set up a tray launcher which will allow you to set up s2u2 there which is what I do along with some other apps. Heres a picture of it in the middle it gives you meters you can set up at the bottom is the tray launch.

}

For tcpmp, to set it as default, go to options>settings> slect page>file association> check all that you need. Exit the program. Reset the device. and you should be good to go.

I've set all the file associations within TCPMP, but this doesn't set it within the HTC Homepage Plugin and allow you to control it from the homepage. If I could get this to work, it would be awesome, but it may not be possible. If that's the case I guess I'll just have to use TCPMP's not-very-aesthetically pleasing interface. . But I can deal with it, it works, so I guess that's good enough.

The HTC Home plugin only works with Windows Media Player or HTC Audio Manager.
S2U2 loads up fine for me after a soft reset. It can be selected to be used in the Home Plugin in the normal way or assigned to a hardware button or soft key.

For some reason mine doesn't automatically load after a soft reset, I have to either launch the configuration tool or the application itself in order to use it. Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to, or exist a theme similar to the appearance of the HTC Audio Manager?
Thanks for all your help everyone!

You should be able to set it to come on by defult with "S2U2 Setting" (most likely found in your "system Tools" folder). Make sure you have the faollowing set to ON:
-Start on wake up
-Start on backlit off
then click:
-Save
-Yes
That should do it.

So this isn't really a "Diamond" application, but this is the only forum I post in, and I wanted to share this so maybe other people can find it useful.
While I was checking out of the grocery store tonight, I realized I had left my "preferred savings" card in my car's glove compartment as usual. Naturally, my train of thought derailed into Windows Mobile development and how I could make my life easier. The answer was simple: why can't I save all my card bar codes on my Windows Mobile Device and have the cashier scan the image from my cell phone? It would save wallet space and be really cool to boot!
So obviously, I came home and whipped up a program to do just that. Any cards that you scan with a bar code reader can now easily be imported and stored on your phone!
Click here to read more about the Bar Code Manager and the Bar Code API.

does this work,
I thought due the the polarised nature of LCD screens they would be unreadable by most barcode readers!

I hope so! I'm going to check tomorrow when I head into the office. We have a couple bar code readers laying around.

Good idea! Unfortunately, most bar code readers won't read backlit displays

Glad you boys mentioned this!
Ive beennn doing this ever since my Nokia 7710. I caried my "ID" on my 7710. When ever I was asked fo ID i just pulled put my 7710.
Sooo yes this can be done on any Barcode-ID app.
Boys time to leave that ID home!
They wont even know the Difference with that GORGEous VGA Screen!!!!
Cheers Bradas!!!

This doesnt seem to work with my norwegian bar codes, dunno if we use another standard than you, or not.
2912340005882
157100395
2 983061310951
When entering these i get a NullReferenceException in RefreshBarCode()
WindowsLessControls.StandardBitmap.get_Width()

Weird, the first and the third number worked for me (try redownloading the CAB). The program really only supports 12 digit bar codes though (UPC). I haven't written in support for other formats yet (Code 39, etc).

Doesn't seem to want to work with my cooked ROM. I get 'An unexpected error has occurred in WMBarCode.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program.'
And when I restart, I get the screen in the image.
Anyone else confirm this?

A nice next step would be to scan the barcodes with the onboard camera.

I have the SAME problem as this. Running Tilt 2 with 6.5 stock rom

Does this require anything other than the cab for download at the link?
says "Download the Bar Code Manager and API here"
What is the API? I REALLY want to use this app

I have installed this and typed the number from a store card. Where do I type the name for the card? After typing in the number in the one edit box the barcode, on screen, does not resemble the barcode on the card. If I type any text in the edit box I get "An unexpected error has occured in WMBaeCode.exe" NullReferenceException
Help!

Same stuff happening here on ever rom ive tried. I really want sometihng like this

Can someone post a mirror? The website linked is not working.

Do you think you can provide a slightly better tutorial on how to set up your cards. I can't get any of mine to work, and not all grocery store cards are 12 digits. Any way you can add support for those?

Great program, I've been using it for a long time now and I don't know if there's any development on this, but it would be great for it to support 2D codes too. Thanks

The game currently doesn't support the direct downloading of song packs just yet, but that will be added in the next version (1.1b). But here is the way to add more songs for the time being. This is taken from the BeatsIIDX website:

Installing Stepfiles
Posted by Keripo on 2010-10-19 02:05:00 BST
For this beta release, you must manually install the songs. Future releases may have an integrated pack installer.
Once you have downloaded a song pack (from any of the above links), follow the following instructions:
1) Connect your phone to your computer and put it in USB mode.
2) Download a song pack in .zip/.rar/.smzip format from any of the above locations (or just use Google)
3) Use a file archiver (e.g. 7-zip/WinRar/WinZip) to extract the pack's content to your computer.
4) Copy the extracted folders into your phone's "Beats/Songs" folder. (Should be located on the root of your internal sd card)
5) Disconnect your phone and start up Beats on your phone
6) Use the "Select Music" menu item to navigate to the folder you just copied over, then navigate around and select a stepfile ending with '.sm'.
7) Press the "MENU" button to select stepfile difficulty and press the 'Start' menu item to play your song. If you have the "Auto-Play" setting enabled, the song will instead start automatically.
Note: Beats currently does not support .dwi files so if your song pack uses .dwi files, you must convert them to .sm files using StepMania. See the StepMania website for instructions. There is also the .ogg sync bug (see Android Issue #11590), so if your songs are encoded in .ogg, use a media convert/player such as foobar2000 to convert it to standard .mp3 format.

Lol stepmania port.

And a good one at that. V1.1b came out today in the market.
Sent from my Captivate

Thanks for this, it's a freakin sweet game! It'd be cool if the tracks were longer, other than that I love it! There's an abundance of songs you can download for it, plus it's free so I mean no one can complain about it.

RIP Stepmania 2004-2007.

Not trying to downplay this game at all, but what ever happened to the idea of an osu! port? If that's not gonna happen, the devs for Beats could look at their song installation system on the iphone for ideas

Question Ringtones, "More" button not working ?

Hi All,
Just a quick one, not really had chance to look into this one, as had my nephews with me all day... so not had chance to read up on it. But within the phone's own Settings, under Sound, Ringtones....
Other than the 3x ringtones it comes with (only 3x ???) When I tap on the 4th button "More..." it simply does NOTHING...?? lol

Am I missing something, do I have to supply my own MP3 ringtones here in a folder or summit for that button to work...?? lol
None of the blue buttons do anything at all, might as well not put them there and stick to just 3x naff tones... lol
Cheers, Lister

Hi All,
Well it's a kid free house now, nephews have gone home and I've had chance to have another look at the "Sound & Vibration" aka, Ringtones on this phone....
... and I can honestly say, its blooming dreadful, woeful.... what the heck are Xiaomi on here??
Only providing 3x ringtones?? lol. And then if you click More, in fact if you click any of the blue buttons, it does bugger all. Can't even add your own ones. I've read up, I've copied them into the MIUI folder, and I've copied them into native Android folders, and nothing is picked up...
The default ones are useless, my brother tried ringing 4x times over the weekend, I only heard one of the calls as the ringtone itself has a silence section, and doesn't appear to play from the start at each call. It plays where ever it left off, so if its a silent part of the ringtone, good luck hearing it in ambient noise...
Whilst I am mainly happy with this phone, there are some area's that Xiaomi really need to focus on....
Cheers, Lister

That's odd, I have a large selection of ringtones and was able to use my usual mp3 ringtone with no issues at all.

Hi BobHumphrey,
(Edit, there should of been a video capture with this post, but it didnt upload... will do it again when back)
Yeah I thought it was odd, as I am sure others would of reported this if it was more wide spread.... the fact it only came with 3x ringtones??? lol
However I can't seem to add me own either...
I've added it to the MIUI folder, as advised in another website post... and I've chucked some in the standard Android folders too, but the Ringtones section doesn't seem to find them....??
Sorry for quick post, gotta nip out... but will update this more when get back.
Thanks, Lister

I went into sound and vibration > notifications> more> choose local ringtone and then picked file using the file manager.

Hi All,
Apologies, I was out all last night... I tried uploading the video here a couple of times this morning, but it kept failing with some witty error codes on this website. So I've uploaded it to another site and linked here.
Here is what is happening when I try and select additional Ringtones/Alarms/Notifications and where they are currently stored on my phone.... as per recommended location via another website with the MIUI folder..

Cheers, Lister

Well that's irritating!
