Moddified ALARM Plug-in [UPDATED 10/06/03]

[Guest Richie M]

hhmm i'll have to look at it again Fozzie, sorry i must admit i didnt have chance to test it before uploading :oops:

Rusty; it installs to the phone by default :lol: er i think you have to unload the old version first; select another homescreen and reboot the phone then try installing again :D again sorry i didn't have time to test :oops:

[Guest fozzie]

Rusty,

I'd do things in this order:

1. Select a Homescreen that doesn't use the alarm-plugin.

2. Use Remove Programs, to uninstall any alarm-plugins - the old one is listed as DJin alarm plugin (or something like that) and the new one is listed as Richie M alarm plugin.

3. Restart SPV.

4. Install new plugin - it doesn't ask where to install to so don't worry.

5. Select Homescreen that uses the Alarm plug-in.

All should be ok :lol:

[Guest Richie M]

:oops: thought i posted this this morning :roll:

New version below :D

Now uses COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTEXT instead of COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT :lol:

Alarm.zip

[Guest Pagemakers]

Richie, does this version contain the lock-up fix?

[Guest fozzie]

Now uses COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTEXT instead of COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT :lol:

Hmm, you're gonna hate me for this Richie, but it doesn't use either.

Methinks you should get some early nights :D

[Guest Richie M]

:cry: ok my bad :oops:

I had only quickly tested this and dont understand why it didn't work :?

Trouble is the SDK doesn't support COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTTEXT so i had to write my own Private Header for it, but it doesnt appear to of worked :oops:

I'm really busy ATM so don't know when i'll sort this out :D

:idea: Fozzie, can you post up the version that uses COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT I PM'd you (if that version worked)

[Guest fozzie]

Sure. I'll post it in a couple of hours when I get back to the PC.

[Guest fozzie]

This version works, using COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT :lol:

Edit: Removed as wrong version posted :oops: Please see later post.

[Guest Richie M]

Thanks Fozzie, i think i overwrote that version :oops:

[Guest fozzie]

NP. I was getting confused myself which one was which! :lol:

[Guest ozute]

G'day guys. I've just downloaded and installed the latest alarm plug-in, but the phone says "Installation failed. The program or setting cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate."

What to do?

[Guest nickcornaglia]

Decertify (Application Unlock) your phone by going to the Orange Unlock Webpage HERE

Assuming you have an Orange Smartphone.

[Guest ozute]

I'm not with Orange though, and my phone isn't locked to anyone. I don't think I'd touch Orange with a bargepole anyway.

[Guest nickcornaglia]

What kind of phone do you have? Is it Application Unlocked (De-Certed)? This is different than SIM-LOCKED.

[Guest ozute]

I've got a Qtek 7070 Smartphone. I'm not connected to a plan or anything, I just bought the phone outright, and I'm using a prepaid SIM.

[Guest nickcornaglia]

Hmmm....I dont know anything about the Qtek's. I dont know if they are AppLocked or not out of the box.

I was good to recommend the alarm plugin and then know that you needed to unlock your phone...beyond that...I dont know. Better ask the experts on the Help and Advice forum.

[Guest ozute]

Thank you very much for your help anyway, I really do appreciate it.

[Guest Richie M]

Ozute, yep you need to application unlock (de-cert) your phone.

[Guest ozute]

Thanks guys, I appreciate your feedback. I'm not interested in putting stuff on my phone that hasn't been certified or whatever it needs so I'll just wait.

[Guest Pagemakers]

You'll be waiting a long time then :)

[Guest fozzie]

Earlier in this thread I posted (what I thought) was the correct version (using COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT) of the plug-in. It wasn't. Unfortunately, I cannot find the .cab version of the correct version. I do however, have the correct .dll, which is posted below.

Richie - any chance you can repackage this up? Thanks.

AlarmPlugin.zip

[Guest FrankyG]

Can anyone explain to me, briefly, why this thread is 9 pages long!? Why so much interest in the alarm plug-in? What exactly are folks trying to accomplish? I would normally read through the thread, but it's Monday and ain't had coffee yet :shock:

[Guest fozzie]

Because AFAIK, it's the only plugin that displays the alarm time on the Homescreen and gives you one click access to the Alarm settings page :)

[Guest Pagemakers]

Something that sould be part of the OS!

[Guest vijay555]

I've posted elsewhere, but the version above posted by fozzie has a bug that requires battery removal if you don't exit the settings page. I'm not complaining, i'm happy with the older version until a clean version arrives, but Richie, how do you get to the date/time page in settings.exe?

Is there a dll or commandline you call, or do you just spoof the keypresses? I ask because i'd like to create a shortcut to use with Xbar.
