The long awaited 0.9 Beta release is now available for download!! This relase is cooler, faster, more stable, more configurable...

Here you have the files to download (ensure the file size is correct before installing!!):

Little Tutorial:

Before installing

  • Do I need to install both cabs if using device instalation method? YES, unless you already have a previous version of throttlelauncher and you don't want them at all.
  • Ensure that the sizes of the files you have downloaded match with the sizes shown on the download page.
  • If you get any errors indicating that the instalation has failed try downloading the file again.
  • t's strongly recomended to install to the device storage but StorageCard instalation is supported.

 

What has been installed?

  • You have three apps installed:
     
    • ThrottleConfig: this app is used to configure the other two
    • ThrottleToday plugin: this app must be started by checking the plugin on the today items list.
    • ThrottleLauncher main app: this is another way of running throttle using and standalone window instead of the today plugin. You can have both running simultaneously and you can make themes that make both app's interact.
  • You have two setups installed:
    • Default: full sized setup for throttleconfig (271 pixels height).
    • Default-lite: 160 pixels height plugin with less features than the default but uses less resources.
    • By default the "Default" theme will be started by both ThrottleToday and ThrottleLauncher. To change this use ThrottleConfig.

Before running the App

  • Before running anything it's recomended that you start ThrottleConfig located at Programs.
  • After running ThrottleConfig a dialog box will popup, if it's the first time you start the app, asking if you want to import the app's to Throttle's database. click on Yes.
  • ThrottleConfig has 4 tabs. The first two are used to configure ThrottleToday and main app. The third can be used to check the categories you want to be displayed inside throttlelauncher. By default no app will be shown so is recomended to go inside that tab and check the "programs" group. The forth tab is the about dialog.
  • In the first and second tab you can select the setup you want to use for each app, and when it's selected you can configure it clicking on the button on it's right. Ensure that you configure all the routes and paths to mach your device.
  • If you're using a VGA device ensure to reselect default setup so that the height updated with VGA compatibility (x2 mode).

How do I start the app?

  • To run the today plugin go to StartMenu>Settings>Today Items tab and check throttletoday.
  • To run main app go to programs and execute ThrottleLauncher.


I've followed the instructions and this doesn't work...

  • Please make a post at the forum. If you get an error or a graphical issue please atach an screenshot if possible. Also post details on device, ROM, media to where the instalation has been done, etc.

How do I customize the setup?

  • You have many tips and toturials on the configuration Tips&Trick; Forum. If you have any questions we will be glad to answer then at the forum.


Changelog 0.9 Beta

  • Today plugins now supported inside throttletoday (same syntax than on main app). Sometimes the today plugin's background is not filled correctly, I'm working on that .
  • Fading transitions. (can be disabled throught configuration)
       
       
  • Full VGA support. Can be enabled on almost any setup by adding the following to old themes:
  • New experimental feature!! Faketransparency. Is a fastest aproximation to transparent scrolling, on my Herald works a little bit slow but may be on a kaiser... . To enable it place this param on the config section:
         #@faketransparency#" />
  • Integration with dcinobar. Is installed with the cab and can be run by placing a check on ThrottleConfig. Please if anyone knows who's the author of this tool tell me as I'll like to give him credit...
  • Solved a bug with contact loading wich makes excesive memory ussage... Now it must be near half memory usage for the contacts page!!!
  • Many improvements to try to save memory. Contacts and images are not saved in memory.
  • Backbuffering for every page to speed up page changing.
  • New option to scroll by pages (pagedscrolling="true" on rows). Check programs page or the main page clock to understand . Works really cool with iPhone like setups!!!
  • Running app's autoupdate and option to add two buttons to allow running app's closing.
  • Especial folders alias to be used inside the exec of icons files. This way your setup's will work on multilanguage ROM's. Special aliases are:
    #$PROGRAMFILES# for ProgramFiles directory. #$WINDOWS# for windows folder
    #$PROGRAMS# path to /Windows/StartMenu/Programs
    #$GENERICROOT#. This is special as is used as root. What this alias will do is look inside "\" inside "\Storage Card" "\Bluetooth" and almost all removable media for the desired path.
    example of this could be a path like: #$GENERICROOT##$PROGRAMFILES#ThrottleLauncher\Thro ttleTodayPlugin.exe
  • This will target to any ProgramFiles folder on main device or any removable media containing the specified path.
  • Reestart today plugin application. Search for it inside instalation folder.
  • Fully redesigned ThrottleConfig app. Play with it... If you have some doubts you know where to ask.
  • Redesigned AppDB to be faster and more usable.
  • Added icons exec value to popup a window where you can add programs previously added to appDB to a category.
  • New Images element that can be used to load all the images inside a folder. Example:

#@ImagePath#" height="64" pattern="*.jpg"/>

  • Configuration info can be added like follows and is shown inside the config of the setup on ThrottleConfig:

  • Now you can make configurable setups. On the configuration section of the xml you can add something like:

Code:

    
    
    
    
    
 
    
 
  

With that code now you can use on the rest of the conf.xml the following syntax that will be sustituded by the value of the variable:

#@speeddecreaserate#" />

  • See the default config.xml to look for new added parameters:
