Arrow [APP] HORSEPOWER - Multi-Use application

New version released!!!

Well, I have written an application for my personal use but I wanted to share it with you guys to see your suggestions and thoughts...
The apps name is HorsePower ( sorry for the stupid name, I was playing around with friends and we came up with this, it will be changed soon!)

First of all thanks to eakrin for helping me out with showQ!

This is the stuff that it can do:

1: Cleanup of your MMC. Deletes all the garbage that windows leaves behind after mass storage mode. It will delete folder Recycled, System Volume Information, all the files .log extension in the MMC root, and every .txt file from QuickNotes folder (this is what QuickNotes leaves when you export pictures from the program)

2: Hide/unhide the folder that you specify. This requires localization, I have left the space in HP.lin for that. Edit HP.lin file with any UNIX compatible editor, NOT NOTEPAD!

3: Checks the memory status of ezx_user, ezx_local and MMC

4: Reboots the phone

5: Toggles swap on/off. This too requires localization

6: Runs the Java Hacker app - so you can uninstall it from desktop

7: Takes screenshots of the phones screen, I have left a space in the localization area where user can specify a folder where he wants pictures to be saved.

V 1.1 additions

Added yan0's mystuff

Now using while loop so it goes back to beginning screen every time you execute command untill user selects to exit.

How to do the localization (thanks to laksluvmoto!)

* after installing HP connect to the PC under mass storage
* unhide the hidden folders to get .system file displayed
* open .system/QTDownLoad/HP dir
* spot the HP.lin file n OPEN IT WITH CRIMSON EDITOR
* inside u 'll find a section called ''space for localization'' where u can localize the exact folder on memory card to be hidden n exact folder on memory card into which u like the screen shots to be saved
* suppose say u want to hide a folder called ''personal'' which is on transflash under say mmc/mmca1/coolstuff/personal (ofcourse 'coolstuff' dir is one created by u on the root of transflash) ...then ''location of directory you want to hide'' under ''space for localization'' should luk like this
HD_DIR=/mmc/mmca1/coolstuff/personal
n ''location of hidden file'' must be like this
UNHD_DIR=/mmc/mmca1/coolstuff/.personal
(note: there is a 'dot' before personal)
* suppose u want to save the screenshots to a folder called 'screen' which is under say mmc/mmca1/coolstuff/screen then the ''directory where you want the screenshots to be saved'' under ''space of localization'' must luk like this
SCR_DIR=/mmc/mmca1/coolstuff/screen
* save the changes n exit
* this is all which's needed to be edited accordin to ur preference n don't forget to do all the editings using CRIMSON editor..its a freeware

Very nice, I've done a similar thing, another modification that can be done to this is, make a app that binds together other useful app, eg when you open it it gives 3 options of system , files and memory, shutdown. System will incorporate dsysino or sysinfo as a executable, files and memory would incorporate swap, mystuff and hidefolder and shutdown, two options of shutdown and reboot.

We'll now since serverclient2004 has managed to use framebuffer to make apps we can actually make apps on our homescreen, make it more like a computer. It'll be awesome lol

I didn't include dsysinfo because it doesn't work on all firmwares, but mystuff will be deffinitly included in the next release. Glad to see your suggestions!

Yes, install it with SmartAssistant, then connect your phone to mass storage mode and go to .system/QTDownLoad/HP and edit the HP.lin file with wordpad or anything else but NOT WITH NOTEPAD.
As soon as you open it you'll notice a space for localization.

I changed the path for swap and hide/unhide folder and after I tried to open HP and didn't open
and for the swap for example, as you entered in HP.lin path: /mmc/mmca1/.bin/swap.bin
should we create the folder called .bin? I tried to create but got an error
what should I do?
