Action Screen

[Rusty Duck]

I did some mods on the original ActionScreen for the Touch Pro and wanted to know if there was a demand to port these to the Touch.

Here is the thread:

Thanks to Fabliv for the great application over at XDA, I just cleaned it up and added a few colors.

Thanks to gadgetfreak, Misfortune, popdog54, darren.wlsn1 and Fat Boy for helping and the inspiration to develop the action screens.

*** EDIT *** Post #3 has the application files

The action screen provides quick access to 9 applications.

1. New email
2. New SMS
3. New Note
4. New Appointment
5. New Task
6. New Contact
7. Turn on GPS application
8. Toggle WiFi
9. Toggle Bluetooth

The left soft key will be mapped to "Action" and I have put a shortcut in the programs folder.


The GPS is not mapped to an application and I would have to have way too many CABs to satisfy everyone. So to map the GPS button to your GPS application make the following registry edit:

HKLM > Software > HTC > Biotouch > ActionScreen > APP_9 > Path (set this to your GPS exe)

The email button is mapped to the Exchange mail box. If you would like to change it to a different mail account make the following registry edit:

HKLM > Software > HTC > Biotouch > ActionScreen > APP_3 > Param
It is set to -service "ActiveSync" -to ""

Change the “ActiveSyne” to your mail account (POP, IMAP, Hotmail…).

**** You will need to do a soft reset after install. **** If someone can tell how to do this in the cab I will update the cabs.

If you would like me to make a cab file to make these changes just send me a private message or post your request and I will add it to this post. Enjoy!!!!

Well I wish I knew more about what it can do and how it provides better functionality or whatever it does.

Seems interesting enough to try, works great on my diamond...
