HTC HD2 Apps: KeepAwake v1.1

Here is an application to make specific programs (like ebook
reader,SatNav etc) prevent standby when they are running. It will watch
them even when they are in background, so be careful, if you just forget
them running in the background, your phone will not go into standby.

Installation:

1- Just install the latest cab file onto Device Memory and NOT Storage
Memory.

2- You need .NETCF 3.5, if you don't have it, install it.

Usage:

1- If you will use background watching, find the executable name from
Task Manager/Processes, drop .exe part, type it into text-box and click
add. (AdobeReaderLE.exe -> AdobeReaderLE)

1a- If you want to watch only the active window (so that your battery
doesn't drain if you minimize the whitelist app) Find the window title
of the application (Either task manager/applications or just look at the
title if it is not hidden) and insert it as above. (Adobe Reader LE
this time) you can have both versions live together. There is one
limitation to active application watching though, if the application
doesn't report a window title in task manager, you can only background
watch it. (e.g. htcreader)

2- if you want to remove a certain app, select its name and click remove
button.

3- if you want to have KeepAwake open but still not active (to force
into standby) click stop.

4- this app autostarts with each boot, if you don't like it, delete the
shortcut under \Windows\Startup\KeepAwake.lnk

5- this app starts minimized. if you want to configure settings, select
the icon one more time or switch to it using a task manager.

6- if you click quit, obviously the software quits and no more monitoring is
done, so click X after configuring if you want it to monitor your apps.

7- if you want to turn off screen and lock keys (for listening to music
maybe) you can click the lock button. If your app is running, the phone
will still stay awake.
