- While you're looking at that one, here's something a little more obscure, but related. Is there any possibility of killing a background task shortly after boot? I use YouMail, and its BlackBerry app is a resource hog during device boot. I would like to kill it shortly after boot (before the device UI is available) and later restart it once the device has fully initialized, possibly using the requested "scheduled launch some delta time following device boot" capability.
But this last request is difficult and I don't think it is possible to do.

If the Hour for a Scheduled Launch item is set to 100, then that Scheduled Launch item will run X number of minutes after the device reboot (x is defined by the Min (minute) for that Scheduled Launch item).
The Touch version should have 10 Scheduled Launch items now.Last edited by Vijik; 04-06-11 at 08:40 AM.

It allows you to highlight a shortcut in the main page and then duplicate it (and its macros) using that new menu item.
I will alpha test it and then put it on the beta link.
gbsn, do you now see 10 Scheduled Launch items in the Common Config? And what did you want to achieve by running macro on SCM itself (I ask this to see if that can be done using other (new) macros)?
Visortgw, let me know if you see any bug related to the new scheduled launch feature. Is the 1 minute resolution good enough?
I did a preliminary research and it doesn't look like that a third party app can force BB OS to run before other apps at the startup.

I consistently run macros to change scheduled launch times in the common config screen. Is this what you mean? It works great for me.

I just discovered something pretty neat for automatically starting an app in the background. Just add a simple macro to the shortcut that you use for the Scheduled Launching (i.e., Delay1000; ENDKey; but you can play with the actual delay based on your device). As long as the app uses the BlackBerry standard that the end call key moves the app to the background, you'll be good to go -- you see the app pop up in the foreground for a second (literally! ), and then it will remain active in the background. So far I've used this with both Skype and TrapCall so that I don't forget to initiate them in the background.04-06-11 11:54 AMLike 0 - I just want to the V for all the hard work and always work on improving this great app. I see how much time you put into your responses and sugestions from everyone that posts here.

AppName: Application A
Macros: Launch Home Screen
(Home Screen is a ShortcutMe function, but since it is not running any macro by itself, it is fine to run it from your macros).04-07-11 04:44 AMLike 0 -
- If you want to run an app in the background and you find out that it exits when you run ENDKey macro on it, then you have the option of using the new Launch macro:

The Custom System Menu items fall below the Scheduled Launchings in the Common Config screen...04-07-11 10:08 AMLike 0
