Chapter 1 AppLauncher Introduction

Introduction
AppLauncher provides a convenient mechanism to launch applications without invoking the Program Menu or File
Explorer of the mobile device.
AppLauncher is fully configurable via the registry. The look and feel of AppLauncher could be configured according
to the users preferences such that if required it could be customized to provide an identity suitable and in-line with
corporate branding.
AppLauncher permits categorization of applications into Program Groups. A program group is a set of applications
hierarchically organized according to their functionality and business need.
The program groups and how AppLauncher should behave is defined in profile configurations. AppLauncher
supports storing of multiple profiles in a mobile device which allows use of customized menus and programs for
different users.
The new AppLauncher has two modes to support multiple profiles and to maintain previous configurations of the
application. These two modes can be configured by editing the registry structure.
Use either the touch-sensitive screen or the scroll buttons of the mobile device to interact with the AppLauncher.
AppLauncher runs on Symbol mobile devices that operate on Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows CE 5.0 and
above.
Installation
Download the installation of AppLauncher from the Symbol support website at http://support.symbol.com.
Install the downloaded package onto the host PC. Follow the installation wizard instructions.
NOTE The new installation package installs sample setting which contains one profile setting and with default
profile. However, it does not update the mobile device registry to set any value for registry value
"ActiveProfile".

Chapter 2 AppLauncher Screen

Introduction
This chapter describes the screens used in AppLauncher.
NOTE
The AppLauncher screens differ according to the operating system of the mobile device.
AppLauncher Screens
The configurable settings that define the look and feel and the functionality of the AppLauncher screens are stored
in the AppLauncher registry.
To launch AppLauncher in the mobile device go to Start - AppLauncher.
Default Screen
The default screen (See Figure 2-1 on page 2-2) is displayed when AppLauncher is run for the first time on the
mobile device. This screen has the default settings associated with it and could be navigated using the scroll
buttons or the touch screen. The configurable settings for the default screen are stored in the registry location:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Launcher\Default\Settings].
Bitmap Area
Menu Area
About Button
Exit Button
Figure2-1
Default AppLauncher Screen
Use the scroll buttons on the mobile device keyboard or the touch-sensitive screen to navigate through the menu
items. Use the Enter button to launch/access the selected menu item in non-touch-sensitive mobile devices.
AppLauncher Screen 2-3
By making a few modifications to the AppLauncher registry file, it is possible to display an additional icon and/or
quick launch key for each menu item (See Figure 2-2 on page 2-3).
Icons

that this is a
Program Group
Figure2-2
AppLauncher Screen with icons and quick launch keys
The quick launch keys are used for launching applications by pressing the corresponding key on the mobile device
keyboard.
The icons give more clarity to the menu items, enabling the user to clearly identify applications and program
groups. The default application icon is displayed alongside the description while a program group displays a folder
icon.
If an application does not have a default icon, AppLauncher displays the default icon for Windows applications
alongside the description.
The AppLauncher screen consists of two main components which are;
Bitmap area
Menu area
Bitmap Area
The default screen interface consists of a product specific bitmap on the top of the screen (bitmap area). By
manipulating registry, it is possible to change the look and feel of the screen.
The bitmap can be different for each screen and can be configured through BitmapFilePath registry entry.
The height of the bitmap area is set by the BitmapHeight registry entry.
(See Ranges and Limits on page A-5 for more information.)
NOTE The bitmap is not displayed if no bitmap is specified or if the bitmap file is missing or if BitmapHeight
registry setting is set to 0.
Menu Area
Below the bitmap area is the scrollable list of menu items (menu area).
The menu items can be accessed via the touch screen or using the scroll buttons or by pressing the corresponding
value on the numeric keyboard.
NOTE When there are not enough menu items to fill the menu area, the menu background color is displayed at
the bottom of the menu area.
The menu area has the following characteristics:

1.
Program icons for executable programs and a folder icon for items that have a Call registry setting (i.e. that
display sub-menus).
2.
A single digit prefix indicating the numeric key that can be pressed to launch the item. If the existing Number
registry entry is 0 then the numeric prefixes are not displayed.
3.
The description of the menu item is set in the Description registry entry.
4.
Up and down arrows for scrolling up or down the menu list.

NOTE The Default main screen of AppLauncher has a menu item titled Exit for terminating AppLauncher. In the
screens of the Program Groups (sub menus), a special button titled Back is used for the user to exit from
the current screen and return to the previous screen.

Chapter 3 AppLauncher Registry Structure

Introduction
This chapter describes the configurable registry settings for AppLauncher.
AppLauncher configurations are stored in two registry keys which control the two different modes of operation.
Multiple Profile Mode

The multiple profile mode, which is new to AppLauncher, allows multiple configurations which can be customized
individually according to user need. Each profile contains configurations that control the look and feel of the
AppLauncher menu as well as the programs/submenus associated to that menu.
Depending on the profile loaded, the menu structure and the items on display will change accordingly.
Profiles are stored in the Windows registry under
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles].
Profile
A profile controls the menu that AppLauncher displays. At the top level, each profile comprises of the following two
main entries.
Settings -
this controls the menu appearance and menu behavior settings.
Programs this contains the items which are displayed in the AppLauncher menu. The menu items can be
either executables or sub-menus
Executables
Define name, description and command line parameters.
Sub Menu
Define description and sub menu parameters. Sub menus must be defined within their own profile.
It is not possible to call a sub menu from a different profile.
Legacy Mode
When set, legacy mode provides backward compatibility with previous versions of AppLauncher thereby allowing
existing AppLauncher configurations to be used without modification.
AppLauncher Registry Structure 3-3
AppLauncher Registry Settings

Multiple Profile Mode Settings
A new registry setting that supports the multiple profile mode is located under
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\]
Active Profile Configuration
New registry for AppLauncher
Default Profile
User Created Profile
Figure3-1
Screenshot of [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\]
Profiles allow storing different configurations of AppLauncher in a single device. Each profile has a unique name
and configuration and can access submenus under that profile only. Accessing other profiles is restricted.
Active profile
The active profile is the profile which loads when AppLauncher is invoked. A profile name can be passed as a
command line parameter to AppLauncher.exe to load that profile. Alternatively, using a remote registry editor, enter
the name of a profile to ActiveProfile in the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher] registry.
If a profile is not specified, AppLauncher looks for registry key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Launcher] to load that configuration. If
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Launcher] is not available, then the default profile stored in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles\DefaultProf] registry is loaded to
AppLauncher screen.
Default Profile
The default profile is the profile which loads if there is no profile specified as the active profile. Default profile
settings are found in registry path
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles\DefaultProf].
Profile Loading Order

The order in which AppLauncher loads profiles is as follows.
1.
Command Line - If a profile name is passed on the command line and a matching profile is found in the
registry, then the menu associated with that profile is loaded. If the defined profile is not found, AppLauncher
displays an error and exits. This method gets the highest priority.
2.
Active Profile - If no profile is passed on the command line and an active profile is set in the registry, the menu
described by the active profile registry key is displayed. If the defined profile is not found, AppLauncher
displays an error and exit.
3.
Legacy Launcher - If no profile is passed on the command line and an active profile is not set, AppLauncher
displays the menus as described by the legacy Launcher registry key.
4.
Default Profile - If no profile is passed on the command line, an active profile is not set, and the legacy
Launcher key is not set, then AppLauncher displays menus as described by the default profile key.
When there is no defined profile, and the legacy Launcher key is not set, and the default profile key is not set,
AppLauncher displays an error and exits.
NOTE A Profile is loaded when AppLauncher is launching. To change the profile exit and restart AppLauncher.
AppLauncher Legacy Registry Settings

The legacy AppLauncher registry keys are found under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Launcher]

Figure3-2
Screenshot of [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Launcher]
Default Settings
The Default key is required by AppLauncher to run and contains two registry settings that are essential for the
application.
The Default registry key is located at
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles\<Profile_Name>\Default]
Programs - Contains registry keys of programs/sub menus which are in the main interface.
Settings - Contains configuration information of default screens.
NOTE The Default registry keys should be placed directly under the Launcher key for the AppLauncher to run.
The Default key holds registry entries that configure the main screen of AppLauncher. It has the special registry
entry Exit for the purpose of terminating AppLauncher. The registry settings for sub menus do not contain the Exit
key. Instead, the sub menus hold the special registry entry Return to exit from the current screen and return to the
previous screen.
Programs
The Programs key contains the registry settings of the menu items displayed by AppLauncher.
NOTE The registry key holding program information should be named as Programs as it is required by
AppLauncher to run properly.
The entries for the main screen menu items are found in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Launcher\Default\Programs]. Each menu item is depicted using a
ProgN key where ProgN could either be a key for an application or a Program Group (sub menu).
Definitions of the registry keys entered in ProgN are given in Table 3-1.

ProgN denotes a menu item in AppLauncher. The menu item can be an application or a program group. If ProgN
Key is for calling an executable then Name, Description and Command value should be available under the ProgN
Key. If ProgN Key is for a Program Group then Call and Description should be available under the ProgN keys.
NOTE Menu item keys should be named in ProgN format (i.e. Prog1, Prog2, Prog3, etc.) as this is required for
AppLauncher to run smoothly.
Settings
The Settings key contains User Interface (UI) configuration information for the AppLauncher screens.
The registry settings for the Default key contain the special key "Exit" which is used to terminate the AppLauncher
application on the mobile device. The keys for program groups have the special key "Return" to exit from the sub
menu and return to the previous screen.
AppLauncher uses the values set for the default settings to configure the screen display of both the main screen
and the sub menu screens. However, the settings defined within a sub menu can override the default settings. For
example the sub menu can display a different image in the bitmap area or have background color only for that
screen. This allows the user to have multiple screen configurations for the AppLauncher screens.
NOTE If the user defined configuration settings contain out of range values, AppLauncher displays an error
message and runs with default settings.
See Appendix A-3, Screen Configuration Settings for information of the settings.
Program Groups
The applications that are not set in the default main screen of AppLauncher are listed in the Program Group. Icons
are displayed on the default screen to provide access to these program groups. Access a particular program group
by clicking on the representing icon.
Use program groups to store a group of applications such as sample applications, utilities, etc.
Program groups are placed at the same level in the registry as Default key, i.e. directly under the Launcher key.
They have a similar registry structure to the Default key. The only difference between the Default registry key and
the registry key of a program group is that it has a special key titled 'Return'. The Return key allows users to return
to the originating screen once they enter the program group.
Chapter 4 Configuring AppLauncher

Introduction
This chapter describes how a user should configure the AppLauncher screens by manipulating the AppLauncher
registry settings.
Manipulating the registry settings of AppLauncher effects the display on the mobile device screen and its
navigation.
Remote Registry Editing

To view/edit the device registry, setup a connection between the host computer and the mobile device using
Microsoft ActiveSync. Use an appropriate remote registry editor for accessing the registry.
Manual Registry Editing

Download the AppLauncher.reg file, located in the mobile device's Application folder, to the host PC. Edit the file
using a text editor such as Notepad. Place the modified AppLauncher.reg file back in the Application folder of the
mobile device and cold boot the mobile device. After the device boots up, run AppLauncher on the mobile device.
AppLauncher runs with the settings of the modified registry file.
NOTE Alterations made to the registry directly on the mobile device does not persist a hard reset of the mobile
device. For the settings to be persistent use the manual method described.
Adding a Program
Follow the steps given below to add a new program to the AppLauncher.
1.
Locate the registry key holding the key information of the programs residing on the mobile device.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles\<Profile_Name>\Default\Programs\
2.
In the registry, make a new key entry and enter the program information. Make sure the new key is in the same
registry hierarchy as the other program keys.
3.
Name the new program key in the ProgN format.

Example - Prog1
4.
Enter the registry information (i.e. Name, Command, Description, Call, HotKey, etc.) into the new program key.
See Programs on page 3-6 and Program Key Settings on page A-2 for more information.
Description value under ProgN key has a length limitation of 260 characters and if one exceeds that amount a
warning message is raised saying that the allowed limit has being exceeded or valid value for description was
not found.
5.
To provide access to a Program Group, set the exact name of the program group in the Call key. Also enter
the description text string in the Description key.
NOTE ProgN key can be configured to invoke an application or a sub folder. However if by mistake if the ProgN
key contains literals for both Call and Name registry values then AppLauncher gives higher priority to
Name registry value ignoring the Call Registry value.
Adding a SubMenu
Programs can be categorized into different groups such as Test Applications or Demo Applications. AppLauncher
can then display a menu item to access these program groups in the default screen.
See Program Groups on page 3-7 for more information.
Follow the steps given below to add a new sub menu to the AppLauncher screen.
1.
Using a registry editor, access the Launcher registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles\<Profile_Name>
2.
Create and name the new registry entry for the sub menu.
Example - Test Apps
Make sure that the sub menu key is at the same registry level as the other sub menus and the Default key.
3.
Within the newly created sub menu registry key store the key information for any programs that are stored
within the sub menu (Refer Adding a Program on page 4-2).
4.
Create a key for storing sub menu screen settings. Make sure to name this folder as Settings.
5.
Store the Call and Description key information to access sub menu within the Default key.
NOTE Make sure to set the Return key to return to the originating screen. See Settings on page 3-7 for more
information.

Configuring Active Screen Area

The active screen area can be configured via the registry. The active area is the area which AppLauncher
application uses for its display on the mobile device screen. The registry entry for active area setting is located at;
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles\<Profile_Name>]
AppLauncher active screen area can support three screen modes.
Full Screen Mode -
AppLauncher screen is displayed in the full display area of the mobile device.
This is the default screen setting.
Set the value of FullScreen key to 1 to enable full screen mode.
Partial Screen Mode - AppLauncher screen is partially displayed in the mobile device.
Set the value of FullScreen key to 0 to enable this mode.
Force Screen Mode-
Figure4-1
Defines the location of the AppLauncher screen in relation to the display area
of the mobile device. The ForceScreen registry settings are stored in this key.
The functionality of the ForceScreen registry settings is to display the AppLauncher
screen at the defined X and Y coordinates.
Screenshots of AppLauncher in Partial Screen Mode (Left) and ForceScreenMode (Right)
NOTE If ForceScreen coordinates are zero or if the coordinates are not within the allowed range, AppLauncher
screen would be displayed in the default FullScreen mode.
See Launcher Key Settings on page A-1 for configuration settings.
Configuring AppLauncher Screen

The screen configuration settings are stored in the Settings key. By manipulating these settings, it is possible to
configure the screen display of AppLauncher screens.
Configuring AppLauncher Mode

AppLauncher supports six different modes for screens. Depending on the Mode setting (See Screen Configuration
Settings on page A-3), the look and feel of AppLauncher changes.
The Mode registry entry is located at:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles\<Profile_Name>\<itemname>\Settings]
where <itemname> is the application name (ProgN).
The supported modes are:
Details
In Detail mode, only three columns are supported. This is because having more columns does not provide
additional benefit to the functionality or usage of AppLauncher.
Report
List
Small Icons
Large Icons
Menu Bars (Default mode)
Configuring Bitmap Area

The Bitmap Area only applies to AppLauncher application while it is in Menu Bars mode.
The display of the bitmap area is controlled by the following registry settings:
BitmapFilePath
BitmapHeight
Setting Bitmap File Path
Set the full file path and name of the bitmap image to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles\User1\Default\Settings\BitmapFilePath
registry key.
Example - \Application\app_launch.bmp
To change the image being displayed, replace the image file with a preferred image file. Also, make sure to define
the correct path of the image file within the mobile device.
Setting Bitmap Height

The BitmapHeight defines the pixel height of the bitmap area at the top of the screen. Set the height value to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher\Profiles\User1\Default\Settings\BitmapHeight registry
key.
Change the value of this setting to alter the bitmap area height. Make sure that the defined value is within the
allowed range for this setting. Also ensure that the height of the image used in the bitmap area is the same value of
the set value to correctly display the image.
The bitmap display may change according to the height and width of the bitmap (See Bitmap Display States).
Therefore, use a bitmap with the same pixel height as BitmapHeight value and width of the mobile device screen to
correctly display the image in the bitmap area.

the value is empty then the default value will be assumed.
Configuring back on zero key

Normally the keyboard shortcut for the Back menu item is the last sequential number in the menu list. However
since this number can vary due to the difference in the number of menu items between menus, there may be
preference to set the shortcut for the Back menu item to a fixed number. Here the zero (0) key can be configured
as a keyboard shortcut for the Back menu item. The following describes the registry key used for configuring this.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SymbolLLC\AppLauncher]

Appendix C Special Notes

BGR
BGR (Blue, Green and Red) are three channels a color could be made of. Each color is represented by an
unsigned byte which could vary from 0 to 255. Different colors in the color pallet could be generated by changing
values for these three bytes.
For example by setting Blue- 00, Green - 00 and Red- FF, a bright Red color (BGR value 0000FF) could be
generated.
BGR to Decimal Conversion

Having gained a basic knowledge on about BGR, please follow the steps given below to convert RGB values to
decimal.
1.
Set the appropriate values for Blue, Green and Red channels.
Example B-99/G-66/R-FF
2.
Amalgamate these values together.

Example 9966FF
3.
Invoke the Calculator utility which comes with Windows on the PC. Select View - Scientific from the menu.
4.
Make sure mode is selected as Hex in the radio button and then copy and paste the concatenated value to
the calculator edit box.
5.
Select the "Dec" radio button to convert the hex value to decimal.
By following the above steps you could do the conversion successfully.
