Guest MoRFLeZ Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Hmmm is anyone else having trouble with the new screensaver!? The toaster one!? It doesn't want to run on my phone at all... :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmjarvis Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 I'm having problems getting all of them to run. When I tried the link on the first page of this thread it locked up my phone completely. Had to remove the battery. Successfully installed PocketCandy 1.2 by downloading the Matrix screensaver found here: http://www.coolsmartphone.com/screensavers.htm Changed the registry - no problem. I get the various screen savers in the list and can configure to my hearts content BUT they simply do not run. Jas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoRFLeZ Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Try these settings: Delay: 1 Battery Delay: 1 Load at Startup: Yes Battery Disable: No Fullscreen....: No Programs // Settings // *ponder* the setting where you choose background lightning .. dunno what it's called in English Background light: 30 seconds (or whatever you prefer) Screensaver: Again Should work a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmjarvis Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Works a treat 8) Woo Hoo Hoooooo can you feel the force :oops: Man I'm old Thanks. Must say there's only so much you can do @ 5:00am with a newborn on one arm and a wrench to fix a leak in the other. Time for lunch yet ?

Guest Speedy Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 He he Morflez I know it says "Igen" on our danish version, but i seriously believe its a spelling mistake. It should say "Ingen" i think. So it would be "none" in english and not "again" Just noticed it now :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmjarvis Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Interesting as Igen is Hungarian for Yes ! :lol: Jas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoRFLeZ Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 LoL .. never even thought about that one *DUH* :oops: Oh well .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest motbe Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Hmmm.. Strange that the new one won't run. I'll try recompiling again tonight and see if that fixes the problem. This is one of those cases where it decides to work on the emulator (and on my PocketPC) but not on the SmartPhone.. I'll try reposting tonight (have to go see the Matrix Reloaded first though.....)

Guest MoRFLeZ Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Well the .dll file seemed to be different (larger this time) - and it cleared up the problem - I got me some MAD flying toasters on my SPV! I don't know the 'original' version of this one, but some of the toasters seem to be on speed *nod self*. It's a bit jumpy at times, but I might just have to clear up Task Manager and see it again! Edited: Nevermind the jumpy bit - it works flawlessly. I had like 10 apps running in the background *innocent blink* Still think some of the toasters need a speedticket tho :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoRFLeZ Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Oh and as someone has already mentioned, if there is a way to keep the backlight on when it sits on the cradle, this app would be perfect!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest motbe Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Yeah, I've been looking into the backlight thing. Sadly, AFAIK there's no global API call I can make to cause the Backlight to turn on or off. It appears to be something that's device specific, which I'm usually hesitant to implement any device specific features (since there are other smartphones on the market, and there will be even more one day). I'll be looking into it more... I also need to add a fix for the reminder thing popping up in the Flying Toasters one. So that'll come soon.

Guest jmjarvis Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Guys, I'm left with the problem of not autostarting when the phone is switched on. Everytime I look at the load @ startup setting its set to No. I've trawled through and found nothing about this other than its being looked at. Come someone confirm that its either fixed or is still being looked at ? Thanks Some great work guys - keep it up. I'll hopefully be trying to give something back when I get chance.

Guest MoRFLeZ Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Just copy the CandyDaemon file and place it in your Start Up menu. That works for me... (just placing a link to the file, doesn't work (for me) - but the whole file works great) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Thurstan Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Can't get it to work.. everything is installed to the sd card and registry altered as described here http://www.coolsmartphone.com/screensavers.htm, settings copied as above, Daemon thing copied to startup menu.... stumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thurstan Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 It's okay sorted it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest motbe Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 ok. . I finally got the chance to put fixes in place for the bugs with reminders popping up and the startup issues. I also included another new screensaver. See the first post for more info. Also, I'm looking into the backlight issue, and possibly putting in the options for timing out the screensaver after a certain amount of time goes by.

Guest jim80b Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 motbe if the os is the same then specificly changing the reg to get the backlight on will work with all smartphones (well using 2002) if u store the old value somewhere and overwrite with 99999, then change it back after that would be great. or even better a standalone app that changes HKEY_CURRENT_USERControlPanelBacklightBatteryTimeout to 999999 when on AC. then u wouldnt have to code pocketcandy for spv. only this small app. :wink: how about u spacemonkey :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin@Home Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Dont know if this is just a coincidence that it was running pocketcandy at the time or a bug in the software worth reporting but..... I had the "swarm" saver going with the spv in the cradle and the "busy" symbol appeared. It wouldn't let me cancel the saver (keys were unlocked at the time), wouldn't let me power off either so I had to pull the battery. When it booted back up the phone had app-locked itself ! :? :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest motbe Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 When it booted back up the phone had app-locked itself ! What's app-locking? (I have no idea since I don't own an SPV) Martin, when it seemed that none of the phone's keys would dismiss the screensaver, did you try pressing the left soft-key and then # (I think that's the unlock code that people have passed on to me for when your phone is keylocked). I know that others have had a similar issue, and using that key combo dismissed the screensaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin@Home Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Yeah, tried every key and even the "any key". :wink: App-locked is the out of the box state that all spv's arrive in. Ie if you try and run un-certified software such as your pocketcandy software, you get a message saying "Cant run this, it isn't digitally signed " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hax Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hi motbe, Unfortunately, I have also seen this problem both with the swarm screensaver and the matrix one. This clock-style "busy" symbol appears and there is absolutely no way to dismiss it without removing the battery. I haven't had my phone re-cert itself because of this though - I suspect that it was just a coincidence for Martin@Home I've just had a quick look at the source code for the Matrix screensaver and it appears that you are redrawing every 5 milliseconds. This may be a little quick for this little phone - maybe a period of say 20ms would be better. Hopefully tomorrow evening I will manage to build the Matrix screensaver (can't get it to go straight from your source - do you have a SPV specific version?) and then I will experiment and let you know what I find.... Regards, Hax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest motbe Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Yeah, it could be redrawing a little too quick for it. I'll update the screensavers you mentioned and slow them down a bit (possibly recode them using GapiDraw, and we won't have that problem). Are there any other ones that seem to be causing that problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JDimeRolla10 Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I need help. I've installed the Pocket Candy Screensaver, made the necessary changes to the HOTKEY... but still can't seem to have the screensaver working. What other settings do I need to make (Home Screen, Power Management) so I can make the screensaver appear? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
