[APP][13.Nov.09]MichasRefresh[Final] & MichasSpecialRefresh[0.2trial] - Refresh&Clean

[Guest MichelDiamond]

Final Version of MichasRefresh now released!!!

This is a basic replacement of the other Refresh-applications like RedrawToday or TitaniumRefresh with more Refresh and also Hibernating

All further special wishes will be in MichasSpecialRefresh - this will change because of your feedback/input/suggestions - and what works, will stay, what doesn't work, will be kicked in next Beta-Versions

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I needed a little App - and I think perhaps it could be useful for you, too.

UPDATE: And because of your Questions now:

"MichasRefresh" as Final, which never should change since now in its parameters & "MichasSpecialRefresh", which should fulfil special wishes - both also as single .exe (in .zip) and with Shortcut on your Desktop (as .cab)

It's not really clear, what "RedrawToday" or "TitaniumRefresh" are doing exactly, but I know, they don't force WindowsMobile (or Titanium) to a quite niversal Refresh.

It's designed for all: Titanium or all Todays or TF3D.

Also it would be useful to clean a little RAM after a Refresh, which is no more used.

(I think with this Refresh a Wallpaper change should work, too)

So I developed a "as much as possible" universal refresh with cleaning and recognition, if Titanium or something else is active... but I hadn't an idea for a name... so I named it

"MichasRefresh.exe"

MichasRefresh_Final.zip*Download MichasRefresh.exe as .zip (Final)*

MichasRefresh_Final.CAB*Download MichasRefresh as .cab to get Shortcut (Final)*

MichasSpecialRefresh_0.2.zip*Download MichasSpecialRefresh.exe as .zip (0.2 trial)*

MichasSpecialRefresh_0.2.CAB*Download MichasSpecialRefresh as .cab to get Shortcut (0.2 trial)*

MichasRefresh.exe:

You have 2 additional Parameters (-nohibernate and -fast), which can be used, but mustn't be used - depends on your need.

Remark to Final against 1.1: One more Parameter, that some settings only be refreshed if parameter is set - please use this version

I explain, what happens, when you call it with or without Parameters:

If Today or TF3D is active:

MichasRefresh.exe

It will send Hibernate to all running applications, so they will be forced to free memory.

Afterwards it forces Windows Mobile to a complete Refresh

MichasRefresh.exe -nohibernate

Forces Windows Mobile to a complete Refresh without hibernating

MichasRefresh.exe -refreshSettings

Forces Windows Mobile to a Refresh of some more Settings (e.g. SIP, systemwide-settings, Changes of Policies)

( -fast has no effect in anything else than Titanium)

If Titanium is active:

MichasRefresh.exe

It switches off Titanium and refresh Windows Mobile.

Then it will send Hibernate to all running applications, so they will be forced to free memory.

Then it activates Titanium again.

Afterwards it forces Windows Mobile/Titanium to a complete Refresh

MichasRefresh.exe -fast

Does hibernating and full Windows Refresh without disabling and re-enabling Titanium

MichasRefresh.exe -nohibernate

Same as MichasRefresh.exe without Parameter, but without hibernating(=cleaning RAM)

MichasRefresh.exe -refreshSettings

Forces Windows Mobile to a Refresh of some more Settings (e.g. SIP, systemwide-settings, Changes of Policies)

MichasRefresh.exe -nohibernate -fast

Only full Refresh of Windows Mobile and Titanium without anything else

MichasRefresh_Final.CAB*Download MichasRefresh as .cab to get Shortcut (Final)*

--------

"MichasSpecialRefresh (Beta! Please feedback what works and what not) :"

Here you can choose or combine this Parameters:

(Without Parameter it will do only a Refresh like MichasRefresh.exe -fast -nohibernate)

MichasSpecialRefresh.exe -hibernate

Only with explicit this parameter it will also Hibernating (cleaning RAM)

MichasSpecialRefresh.exe -restartTouchFlo

With this Parameter, TouchFlo will be switched off - then all the other Actions of Parameters will be done - and afterwards switched on again.

ATTENTION: In some Windows Mobile 6.5-Builds a Restart of TouchFlo doesn't work! then you need a SoftReset to get back to TouchFlo-but I think you know it :)

MichasSpecialRefresh.exe -restartTitanium

With this Parameter, Titanium will be switched off - then all the other Actions of Parameters will be done - and afterwards switched on again.

MichasSpecialRefresh.exe -updateTodayItems

Any changes in Today will be updated - perhaps this could already work for some update-wishes - please feedback

MichasSpecialRefresh.exe -updateTaskBar

I hope the TaskBar will be updated - I'm not sure - please feedback

MichasSpecialRefresh.exe -updateSoftKeyBar

I hope the SoftKey-Bar will be updated - I'm not sure - please feedback

You can combine this Parameters, like you want, e.g.:

MichasSpecialRefresh.exe -hibernate -restartTitanium -updateTodayItems

MichasSpecialRefresh_0.2.zip*Download MichasSpecialRefresh.exe as .zip (0.2 trial)*

MichasSpecialRefresh_0.2.CAB*Download MichasSpecialRefresh as .cab to get Shortcut (0.2 trial)*

-------------

I think with this apps - especially called without any parameter - will it be a really universal Refresh with more free RAM, too. And that we unfortunately hadn't in a small .exe... 'til now :D

BTW: A Full Titanium Refresh with Hibernating is as fast as TitaniumRefresh (depends on .cpr-size)

Please Feedback, if it works for special problems, too, which we had with the other "Refresher" ... e.g. updating wallpaper (st_water) or Titanium or TouchFlo had some strange behaviours after an incomplete Refresh.

You can also use it for Plugins, which needs a Disabling and Re-Enabling of Titanium after Installation.

So you can replace TitaniumRefresh.exe with this - then you have an universal Refresh and also Hibernation, if wished.

Besides: I'm as everytime not responsible for any damage, however it should go... :D

And this app is absolutely free for non-commercial use - feel free to use it, where you can need it.

Cheers

Micha

ahh sweet app! Thanks Michel, been looking for sth like this for ages!

You make great titanium plugins/utilities...thanks :)

Keep it up!

[Guest leap_ahead]

can explain me what is this app ?

[Guest MichelDiamond]

@naynada: Thank you :)

But I think there is much more possible... only wait for JMLToday 5.5 (it's running already fine and has much more things than 5.4) and some other Plugins/Themes/System-Utilities (which I've done in background e.g. for CPlay, Sense-Theme, conbtable-Plugins or so) - I think Titanium is great to change it, like you want it :D And now it's time to make the Plugins interactive to each other :D

@leap_ahead:

It's a system app - do you sometimes have to soft-reset your device? - perhaps this saves some of this - because it does both:

- Refreshing some of the WinMo System

- Hibernating running tasks to free RAM

With special a little bit more - but it's to try.

(also @All: )

So I added now also a cab for both - that each user can call it by shortcut - it refreshes Titanium, Today, TF3D,... and also frees RAM.

MichasRefresh.exe (final) will be used e.g. in JMLToday 5.5 and TICS and much more - as replacement for RedrawToday or TitaniumRefresh - because it does more and is also configurable.

But also as Shortcut it's useful for each user to refresh&clean.

So - as developer of e.g. Plugins or other Apps - use the zipped .exe - and for Users: use .cab to get also a shortcut to call it.

Try it - and Feedback (look into you RAM-Usage before and after Refresh&Hibernating :D )

@ALL: Don't oversee: Final Version of MichasRefresh is released - I don't intend to change it's in it's behaviour form now - every suggestions and trials will be only now done in MichasSpecialRefresh.exe in future - and if something works - it will stay there, otherwise it will changed or kicked out :D
