1810tray

hi,

with this little tool for 1810t you can control the fanspeed, shows batt info, let you switch powerscheme,enable/disable webcam&lan and let you quick switch to your favorite resolutions (after you did the costum resolution trick http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=5335691&postcount=37).

OVERCLOCKING ONLY WORKS IF YOUR 1810 IS TME MODDED !!!

i can test this tool only on my own 1810t !!! a bit of computer knowledge on your side is mandatory. if you want to use this prog

pls dont leave your rig alone with heavy work and with 1810tray running if you doesnt tested it for a few days (on every new version) !!!!!


if you like to backup/save/share your settings/profiles/deviceids you can export/import the following regkey with regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Inteks\1810tray

This is awesome, thanks!
I've seen that you let it switch fan control to auto when it detects mains power, would it help if I search for the fan speed hex values when plugged in so that you switch to those values when detecting the PSU instead so that it keeps the the same speeds like on battery power? Your progam has got the potential to become the 1810t uber-tool!

Finally a real coder has joined the club

Edit:
To all: Don't forget to rep up this guy if you like the program!

 

Can you do anything with Aero when on battery? Specifically I am still looking for an app (for Vista/Win7) that switches off Aero when on battery and switches it back on when you plug in.

 

any chance you can upload the code?
I would be interested to see how you did it

 

hexcodes for "plugged in" would be nize. i thought it wasnt possible.
btw i only use extremeslow,veryslow,slow,stop and auto . . .

i' ve uploaded a new build with Aero switch (see first post)

/inteks

 

Aye-aye, sir!
I'll post the codes soon

Edit:
The actual speeds are slightly different in AC mode, here are the values from slow to fast:

0xA7
0x9E
0x8A
0x1A
0x03
0x13
0x1C

stop and auto are the same as in DC mode

 

thx....


btw. Aroe Basic is sooooo ugly :-(

but i found this

direct download here ->

Thanks for adding in the Aero piece. I just downloaded it. Do I just need to create a directory and run it from there? Do I need to copy the DLLs somewhere? Do you know if this will work with 64 bit Win7?

 

just place them into 1 folder and run 1810tray.exe
i personally put a shortcut into startup folder. thats all

i dont tested it on x64 ....

btw batterybar in green means more than 3hours remaining below 1hour it goes red

 

I didn't think that Aero would use so much juice, my power consumption reduced significantly(I didn't know anything about Aero so I never disabled it before )

 

Crashes almost immediately in windows 7

BTW Der_Mali, I actually got Vista Battery Saver running in Windows 7 earlier today since I had problems with this tray utility. While Vista Battery Saver does nothing for the fan it can switch between power profiles and disable Aero and/or the Gadget Bar (or whatever they call it in Win 7) when you go to battery power. We'll see how big of a difference it makes. If you do try to install Vista Battery Saver make sure you kill the apps in the tray if the install appears to hang. Then, install will complete and you can re-run the tray apps from the Start/Accessories menu area.

 

@dbasham
Nice little program

 

at this point 1810tray trys to call devcon to check the current state of webcam & lan.
maybe this is a security problem. please try to run the tool as admin.
i use win7 too but have uac disabled....


/inteks

 

update:
-fanspeed control now works on AC too (thx der_mali)
-option to disable bubble
-option to disable Aero automaticly on Battery

see first post

So nice
I'll add it to Timeline Tweaks and remove Smartfan from Timeline Tweaks tonight

I've got a question:
Would it be possible to let 1810tray start a batch/script/application automatically when resuming from standby? It would be awesome if I could automatically start SetFSB and CPUID after resume. I've also got a problem with Vista. When coming out of standby I have to switch to a different power scheme and back to battery saving mode to get low power consumption. A script/batch that does it automatically would make it much easier.

 

you can use the task scheduler in vista to do task triggerd by almost anything
take look at you eventlog there should be something like this->

 

@inteks
Thanks, I'll have a look at it

 

Looks like a very handy program but unfortunately 1810tray fails to start on Windows 7 Professional FINAL 64-bit. Tried running it with admin privileges and it makes no difference.
See attached screenshot.

 

I dont understand, either smartfan or 1810tray the "fan mode: stop" initially doesnt work. It doesnt switch off. I have to switch manually to extremely low fan mode and then to either auto or scheme mode and give control to the program and then it works.

 

I also got the same problem in w7 64.

 

i am working on it.

because of windows7 x64 . . . i cant help you. i dont have x64 to test it.
the code is in c# .net so that should not be the problem.

maybe you need a speciale version of the devcon.exe or winio.dll/sys.
i dont know

 

new version uploaded, see first post

 

Has anyone tried ths app on other timelines 3810 and so on ?

 

I did some gaming and believe that I've seen 1810tray switching back from "ultra high" to "high" while the fan speed is actually slower at "ultra high" than at "high"

Edit:
And "high" is slower than "slow"
(I checked in AC mode)

 

on dc or on AC ? should i change the hexcodes for "high" and "ultrahigh" ??

btw.
i found the same for DC hexcodes. the code for "slow" was much to fast. (this is fixed in vers.4)
the AC codes will i try to fix in next version

 

I checked it in AC mode. Please post which hex codes you are using for which speed. BTW the medium mode is barely different to the next slower mode so it should be left out completely.

 

I've rechecked the AC hex codes. It seems that some are not 100% reliable. "high" is not always the same speed. This is what is left from the codes I noted when testing in SmartFan:

A7(-120%) extr slow
9E(-46%)-(-35%) very slow
8A(0%)-(8%) slow
13(17%)-(25%) very high
1C(19%)-(27%) supreme

'medium'(1Ah) is marginally faster than 'slow' and high(03h) varies depending on temperature by itself it seems.

 

Any reason this won't work on a USA 1410 model? Maybe I should just try it.

 

update 5:
-fixed ac speeds
-direct fanspeed control added
-direct "power option" added
-1152x648 added (dtds.reg included)

Having looked into this quite extensively myself, since the fan was driving me crazy when plugged in and SmartFan didn't help in a x64 world, I can share that the WinIO driver is not available in a 64-bit version. As simple as that. I did however manage to find a couple of similar hardware I/O drivers that is available in both 32- and 64-bit versions, and not only that but signed as well, much to the rejoicing of win64-users.

• WinRing0 - Active SF.net project. Tested and working. Coincidentally, the project seems related to SetFSB and CrystalCPUID.
• InpOut32

And as a tip, you could embed a manifest demanding admin rights, since installing a driver is kinda needy. Rather than people having to shut down UAC or fiddle with the shortcut to run it elevated.

Oh, and thanks for the AC hex values, der_mali. Hadn't fully tested it yet, since I was content getting it to shut up last charging, but noticed something was up with the speeds using your DC hex values.

 

What is that?

 

It's called "Custom resolution in Win7 without VGA dummy"
in Timeline Tweaks(see sig).

 

BTW i found a much quicker method to speudo duplicate monitor.
just press "windowskey+P" twice . . . ;o)

 

If you get it working with Win7 64bit please share it with us

 

Well I haven't really got much to share, I took a pause (quit) in development after I just managed to set a fan speed, due to other stuff going on at the moment and since I wasn't sure I was doing things the right way when the embedded controller from time to time returned stuff I couldn't find references to in other Acer ACPI code.

This is all there is currently:


And inteks obviously got it all figured out already, so theoretically all he'd have to do is bundle a few new files and change a couple of lines of code. He doesn't seem impossible so I'm sure there could be a solution any day now

devcon.exe does indeed need administrator rights. Also a matter that would be neater resolved with an admin manifest.

 

ok.....

here is a testversion build on WinRing0 this should also work on x64

i cant test this (it works fine on x86) so pls report!

Thumbs up.

 

Thanks a lot, it works like candy

 

I did notice that on both Vista and Win 7 the "Power Saver" profile turns off Transparency, while "Balanced" turns it back on. Yet there seem to be no user-customizable flags that define this (it's probably buried in the registry somewhere).

Would be nice if you could automatically use "Power Saver" whilst on batteries, and auto-switch to "Balanced" (or whatever) when on Mains. RMClock *almost* lets you do this (with linked profiles), but not quite.

 

Actually, you can just turn it on/off in the display options, and it will be saved for the current profile and plugged/unplugged individually.

 

I didn't know that - THANKS!

 

hiho,

bad news . . .

i found out that there is a problem with customresolution trick and "poweroptions->TurnOffDisplay" !!!

when i use a custom res my 1810t reboots after its turned the display off !!!!

for me the solution is simple i use only "dim the display" and "standby"


/inteks

 

I'm running this program on my 3810t with win 7 64-bit.

The fanspeed options doesn't seem to work tho, I don't get any change in fanspeed from any of the options.

Does anyone know if the 3810t use other fanspeed codes?
Or perhaps is it something in the program that isn't compatible with the 3810t?

 

update 7:
-switch to the winring0 library
-fixed gdibug

see first post

have fun
inteks

 

I would love to see an option to have this switch my Power Profile when on Battery (to Power Saver) and to switch it back to another Profile when on A/C (Balanced).

 

doesnt it make more sense to configure your balanced profile for batterymode to lowpower and on AC to "not so low" power ?

on my 1810t i have all 3 profiles configured to maximum for AC and for batterymode my profiles differs on want i want to do: gaming -> highpower / surfing -> balanced / when i want most runningtime -> powersaver


/inteks


ps:
i think windows doesnt make anything that you cant see... will say you can configure your powersaver profile to the highest perfomance (if you want)

 

OMG! It works on Win7 Pro x64! The fan control on battery works wonderful!
What doesnt work: Enable Areo/Disable LAN/Enable Webcam options. If i click on them nothing changes.

Rep for ya

 

i dont know why "enable aero" not works.

but lan and webcam ... maybe under x64 the device id are differnt.
if you are able to enable/disable these devices with devcon , then pls post the used commandline.

i cant test it because i ve only have x86

/inteks

 

For me enable/disable aero works, and I'm using win7 x64.

As I said earlier I can't control the fan tho.
