A few little tools by huellif

Hello there,

I am Fabian a.k.a. huellif and this is my first Blog post :)



Daniel allowed me to share a few of my apps here, if you are intrested into coding tutorials for Symbian (QtQuick, Qt or native C++) please drop a comment and I can make a few tutorials for beginners.

CloseMaps 1.1

This is a little tool to close all maps backgound processes.

The usuage is: more RAM and other apps can use the compass.

By default other apps can't use the compass after you used Maps, the is the unly fix except a reboot.



Some informations:



This app has no UI, just a little popup to show it did run.

It kills following processes:
- smart2go.exe
- s2gvariantserv.exe
- maps.exe
- drive.exe
- syncshare.exe
- odnpserver_0x2001a983.exe



check the source code:via GitHub

Download it from DailyMobile forum

WhatsApp modifier 1.4

This tool brings some extra features for WhatsApp for Symbian.

It can completly close WhatsApp (incl. all background processes and push notifications), what's not possible by default.

Also it's the only app which can hide (and restore) the homescreen popup of new messages, a lot of people don't like it.

As candy you it can replace the WhatsApp icon, you can use multiple icons from a cool coverflow view.

I should stop writing, check the screenshoots ;)

SVGB2SVG 1.3

Symbian graphics are stored in .mif files.

You can open, view, extract and replace them on your phone via the free app MIFEditor.

But some are no .svg files, they are .svgb files.

Most editors and webpages don't accept .svgb and you can't edit .svg wiht a text editor (like X-Plore)

On a PC you can convert them via free tools, but this tool provides a way to do this directly on your phon.

You can convert single files or folders, renamed .nvg files or animated .svgb files are not supported, it's not possible to convert them at this moment.



A goodie is .svg to custom size png/jpg/bmp support, usefull to upload graphics or send them e.g. via WhatsApp. You can test a version with this feature here



Currently I am working on a proper preview of the export to png/jpg/bmp feature.

CAknDiscreetPopup

This is a little open source example which shows how to call a native C++ function via a QtQuick UI.

(with and without a value).



also get it via GitHub

meinTV

currently my only app in Nokia Store, please download it from there and write a review :)

It's a little tool which can show you livestreams of:

- ARD

- ZDF

- ZDF_neo

- ZDFinfo

- zdf.kultur

in diffrent qualities.

The streams are offical and you have to pay GEZ to use it legally!

Also you can open ARD and ZDF Mediathek in default browser, or TV Movie.

If you like to, you can store 10 own channels on your phone.

Nokia 808: remove tethering/JoikuSpot restrictions for USA

This is a short tutorial about how to enable JoikuSpot/Wi-Fi-tethering on the Nokia 808 PureView, in countries where it is usually blocked (e.g. USA).
I am getting asked about this modification a lot, which is why I decided to write a tutorial about it.

If you are running "The One Reloaded" custom firmware on your 808, you do not have to apply this, my Mod is already integrated in there!

This tutorial is for users of different custom firmwares or (hacked) original firmwares only.

ScrollControl 1.0

Probably sounds cooler than it is :p

I created a small installer, that lets you change the scrolling speed in the Symbian menu and (non-Qt) applications.

Download the installer "ScrollCrontrol 1.0.sis" from my tools section.

During the installtion you can choose between default scrolling speed or the improved and significantly faster settings by Ancelad.
Full credit for the "improved KS" goes to him ;)

To change the settings, you do not have to uninstall the mod. Just reinstall and restart your device.

FYI, the improved KS is already part of my CFW, this is mainly for users who prefer the slower default Belle values.
But it can also be used by people who are using different CFW's or hacked OFW.

Thanks to Shapal00 from Daily Mobile Forum for testing.

Restart App/Shortcut for Symbian

I am sharing a handy little application here, that doesn't do anything more than restarting your device.

The modded sysap.exe (which gave you the "restart" option on power button menu on my previous custom firmwares), is a little bit more complicated to apply on the latest firmwares. Which is the reason why it is not integrated by me anymore.

I think this application is a nice replacement, if you are only looking for that feature.
Apply it as a shortcut on your home screen and you can restart your device with one button ;)

PopUps Modifier

During the installation of this mod, you can choose between "enable popups" or "disable popups".
It allows you to enable/disable the on screen notification for missed calls and new messages.
Restart the phone after the installation.

I tested it on my Belle FP2 CFW (v2.2.1) on the Nokia 808.
But it should work on most other Symbian devices aswell...

The file is unsigned, your phone needs to be hacked for this mod.
(All my CFW's are hacked of course)

If you try it on any other device than on the Nokia 808 (FP2), please drop a comment to confirm its working for you too!

You can download this mod in the tools/download section on my blog.

Sysap Mod for Nokia 808

In my latest Nokia 808 CFW I removed the modded sysap.exe by coderus (fp1 fix by chris_marsh), because of two minor bugs.

I still prefer the benefits of the modded sysap over those bugs, that's why I am offering you two simple solutions to bring it back.

Photo & Video Editor from N8 to 808

I extracted the Photo & Video Editor from the Nokia N8 and created installers for the Nokia 808.

Bug fix: unlock 808 by camera button

As you may know, on the original firmwares for the Nokia 808 you are able to unlock the phone and start the camera by pressing the camera-button.

On my CFW this feature is not working, because of the modded sysap.exe (by chris_marsh). We will probably see a fixed version for the 808, but 'till then I offer you a different solution.

enable/disable Theme Effects in Belle FP1 & FP2

If you ever used a pre-FP1 Symbian Belle device, you probably know that you can get a really nice speed boost by disabling theme effects.

For whatever reason, the option to turn them on/off is missing since Belle FP1.

That's why I created this installer. This mod lets you easily enable/disable the theme effects on FP1 and FP2 devices.

How to fix symbols for power menu button (after changing fonts)

My CFW has custom icons for power button menu included.
Not all fonts do support those icons and since the release of the official PixiEnablers (including Nokia Fonts), I get many requests about the "broken" icons.

In this tutorial I am going to show you different ways to fix them.

Microsoft Apps 2.0 & PixiEnablers slim Installers

MS Apps & PixiEnablers are now officially released for the Nokia N8.
Since those packages contain a lot of unnecessary features, I offer you some slimmer installers for the most important parts.

Special thanks to Michael, who sent me the latest original installers.

How to decrease volume for 3.5mm output

Some people like it, some don't...
As you may noticed while using my CFW, there is a mod by iExtraX7 to increase the volume output for the 3.5mm.

If you are one of the persons who do not like this mod, I am going to tell you here, how to remove it from my CFW. Of course I will also provide all the files you need to do this ;)

Custom Widget Skins (*.mif) without flashing

Yesterday evening "joshlog" from daily mobile forum released a mod to load *.mif files from E:\.

Since all Widgets I added to my CFW are on Z:\ you can only change their loooks before flashing, by replacing the mif files in rofs2.

The mod by joshlog allows you to change many mif files from E:\. So it is possible to change the widget skins, battery indicator and many more, without flashing.

v4.5.0

v4.5.0 is available for download...

v4.5.0 comes with new widgets and music player from new leaked belle v111.040.0704 by taylor, but is still based on v111.030.0609.

English version with and without preinstalled maps are available for download via rapidshare and mediafire.

If you are just looking for the new widgets without reflashing, download the installers here:
Widget Notes
Widget Notes All Languages
Widget Text Clock
Widget Flip Clock

Nokia Email Client v3.04

***Update 3***

The Email Client Update is already included in the most recent firmware versions!
That update was for Belle (not Refresh/FP2).

The MS Apps can now be installed via SW Update directly on your phone.

*** Update 2 ***

Installers for the latest official MS Apps & PixiEnablers are available here on my blog:
Microsoft Apps 2.0 & PixiEnablers slim Installers

*** Update ***

MS Apps for the Nokia N8 are now officially available, PixiEnablers v2.x also comes with that new package... you can get it via your Nokia Suite Updater.

***

As part of the "Microsoft Apps Bundle" the new email client can be installed via  PixiEnablersNOCS_v1.0.145.

The Installer comes along with lots of unnecessary components. To avoid installing them, I created a cleaned up installer. This Package contains the new "Mail Client" update & "Mail, new Arrival" widget only:
Email Client Update v3.04 - English

Edit:
In my experience the installer works best right after flashing.
If there are already existing mailboxes, the installations takes a very long time...

Installing the Email Client Update will break your msg. reader.
I recommend the update, if you do not care about text to speech.

Here is the unmodded PixiEnablers Installer:
PixiEnablersNOCS_v1.0.145

Text under HS-Icons 2.0

Small update for the tool "Text under HS-Icons 2.0"...

Details are here:
http://theonecfw.blogspot.com/2012/03/enable-text-under-homescreen-icons.html

The One Camera Mod 3.0

I updated my camera mod to version 3.0.

It is basically the same mod, but it now has one new mode...

Enable Text under Homescreen Icons

*** Updated: Text under HS-Icons 2.0 ***

I updated this mod to give you the option to add and remove text. That way, the mod makes more sense for other (custom) firmwares and phones.

When you install this mod, you can choose between "add text" and "remove text". Select only one option and install the mod.

Should work on any Symbian Belle phone...

Everything else stays as it was in v1.0

***

I removed the text under homescreen icons, since this was default for earlier official firmwares and many people like how it looks.

If you prefer your icons with a text label, you can bring it back with an easy sis file installation.

Text under HS-Icons 2.0.sis
(also found in the tools section of my blog)

You can install this file and the text under homescreen icons will be back immediately, if you uninstall this mod the text will be removed again.

Your homescreen settings won't be touched by this, the layout will stay as you set it before.
Restart is not needed, the mod will take effect without it.

This mod will work on my future CFW's as well as on previous ones (also most of the other cfw's and official firmware (if your phone is hacked)).

N8 User Agent

This mods was created by me a long time ago, I am posting it now to explain it to people who don't know it yet...

If you want to enjoy full webbrowsing like on your desktop, or you want the same internet expirience as on the iphone, you can achieve that with an easy sis-files installation.

N8 The One Camera Mod

Download the sis-installer from the tools sections on my blog.

N8 The One Camera Mod 3.0.1
I created this mod, to give you the possibility to choose between different camera settings and to provide my camera mod also to people who are using original firmware or a different custom firmware.

Make sure the camera app is closed and then install the file to c:\.
The installer will ask you which settings you want, those settings are available:
