iphone finger menu scrolling

Basically I wasn't overly impressed when I saw the iphone in terms of what it did, because it doesn't do anything my WM5 doesn't. the only thing I was impressed at was the interface, the total touch screen etc(altho it is missing a qwerty key board which I couldn't live with out). One part of the touch screen interface that I was the most impressed with was the finger dragging, scrolling! But this can be done on WM5 devices because I've already downloaded Sygic's .mobile which allows you to do it through your contacts.
So Basically I'm sure that one of the many clever programmers on here could write a little program that allows you to use finger scrolling where ever a scroll bar is needed? I.e. file emplorer, music menu(windows media player), text message list, photos, etc.
Or if someone knows where I could get such a program from?
Thanks

this would be sweet because we windows fans wouldn't have to convert to the darkside.
just like the early dayds of apple.....microsoft swoops in and reinvents the game. but only thing it aint microsoft doing this.
why buy a new phone when u can take the guts of it and dump it into your own
good job on the programers you guys rock.

Check this video out, the guy has done just that!
http://techdigest.tv/2007/02/watch_the_iphon.html

I've seen that video already, but thanks. it was that and the program .mobile that made me hope that someone on here would be able to do it for the rest of the windows mobile platform! if I was talented enough I'd do it myself but this is way beyond me. i just think it would be a great to be able to navigate menus and list and make life a lot easier.

Can we download it from somewhere?

Download What?

that GUI seen on that video.

the best program to make it look like that is wisbar desktop but it costs! has for the menu scrolling i haven't got a clue thats why i was hoping someone may be able to write a program on here for it

Agree, i used the wisbar advance, but the scrolling gui was amazing!
I am wondering how he did it?

it was, but i don't know how he did it! i know you can down load a program called .mobile and that allows you to scroll through your contact like that, so it clearly can be done! so someone must be able to do it for the rest of the phone?!??!

What is it that can or can't be done guys?
Picsel Browser uses momentum based full screen drag scrolling, amongst other apps. It's not a difficult thing to do. The implementation in the video is particularly nice (if not particularly useful IMHO), but it's not some kind of mystical voodoo. It's just programming.

vijay,
I don't think you would be capable of doing this, no way....
(ps: please, please rise to the challenge!)
On a serious note the Universal lacks a scroll wheel which I have always had on my previous PDAs. To be able to have a generic touchscreen based scrolling mechanism would be very useful (ie not just for tracks and contacts, but for everything).

Can anyone post a link to the download of this?

slider lock feature.....
Guys,
According to his website, before it was suspended...
He says he was using
PPL1.20. PPL which can be downloaded for free from http://arianesoft.ca
I downoaded this but have no idea on how to use it to get the same results?
Anyone interested in getting the slider lock portion of that video working?

As explained by Vijay this is just programming. If you dont have programming skills, just forget it. If you do then the technical part is not that difficult. The whole point is more about doinga nice design
Anyway let's hope he will make is work public (The scrolling bar is one thing, but the whole setup is actually nice...)

If anyone has this (doubt the guy gave it out before he got shut down) but in case he did... i would like to get my hands on this...

the point of me starting this thread was to see if anyone on here knew where I could get a program that would allow me to scroll all the menus and lists in my WM5 by dragging my finger across the screen, if there wasn't already a program out there then I wondered if someone could write a program for it? as my skills in this area are nowhere near good enough! I think a program like this with look great but more importantly be really useful, as I use my finger to navigate through most of my phone.
if this is just programing, please can someone with the skills do it????
Thanks

the m600-iphone clon demovideo is no longer available at youtube....
the apple tentacles are very lengths...

INTERESTINGLY.. this guy is a Malaysian (Chinese). . and I would have thought such geeky move ought to be from the States.

well i have a spare wizard to try this on if some one can direct me on what software to use. i have some spare time lol

does this exist

hello all,
does the polaris have tactile feedback or is there a third party app which will provide this?
I have searched and searched but could find any trace.
cheers
Marc

What do you mean by "tactile feedback"? Reporting problems to M$? If so, you can enable this.

if you mean a gyroscope orintation detector like iphone then no i dont believe so

Nope not the function that would rotate screen depending on how i was holding the device.
what i mean is a function or third party app that would feedback when entering text on the screen, niether by making a noise or better still a short virbatration. similar to the LG VIEWTY or the new symbian touch platform that they are developing?
cheers

No, there is no tactile or haptic feedback on touch cruise.
(Like the one you get with xbox controllers ... ...... not in touch cruise though.)
Still, it is the BEST. VIEWTY or symbians ar nowhere close to what TC is.

That's a good question. I wonder if something like this exists also. Maybe we can find something to cook into the ROM....let's all look around.

There is a very old application on this forum from the xda days called "vibrate" which only vibrated when you dial numbers in the phone application. Perhaps the smart people of this forum can extend that functionality to all screen taps, or specific input formats.

Got a HTC Touch Pro today

...and I'm finding it laggy and contemplating taking it back and getting an N95 8GB.
Anyone have advice on how I can speed up the device? Its driving me bat**** nuts.
Also what imbecile decided to have an unimportant keyboard pop up center bottom but have something important like close/okay in the top right.
Also the scroll bar being on the right hand side? Terrible, I keep missing the bar and hitting the vodaphone logo.

I know that you are new here so I won't flame you too much.
You really need to read these forum rules
You should not have created a new thread for this as there are already threads talking about these things
You posted this in the Touch Elf Forum rather then the Touch Pro forum.
This will have to be moved to the correct forum.

Hm I did search the main page for a touch pro forum but didn't see one.
I don't see any reason to flame me, I'm just being honest, I'm alittle pissed off myself that I've put my name to a contract for a phone that isn't as pleasing as I was hoping.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=438
The above link takes you to the Rapheal forum AKA Touch Pro
Edit - Don't create a new thread in the Rapheal forum either : Mods have been notified and they will move this one (Or delete it) whatever it is they decide to do. You will see once they do whatever they do

You might not be that pleased with your device the way you got it (Stock); however, there is lots to learn in these forums (read the Rapheal forums) and Development and Hacking forums for cool apps and tweaks for your phone that should make you happier.

A Touch Pro should definitely be fast right out the box. I don't know how much experience you have with Windows Mobile but you should probably check your ROM version under START-SETTINGS-SYSTEM-DEVICE INFORMATION. If it's a really old one you should update it.
ROMeOS is a custom ROM which I found faster than the stock one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426099
And DCS is another light and fast ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421609
You can also use some other Registry edits to speed up your system: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413562&highlight=tweaks
A more drastic measure would be to disable TF3D...
However, I wouldn't even conside changing my Touch Pro with a Nokia N95...

Indeed, I'm finding alot of useful apps.
One thing though, I know I should search, but can you tell me how to find out what rom I have?
Edit beat me to it lol

I forgot to mention something about the scrolling bars, you don't really need it. Your phone reacts in gestures (like an iPhone) just use your finger to move a list up or down...
other than that, I can't say that you are an average Windows Mobile user.
If you continue having problems... maybe you should consider a Nokia 3310. I hear Nokia N95 has also a lot of problems... It also has the scroll bar on the right hand side, but you can't even use it...

lol I have an N95, if I trade this in I'll be trading it in for the 8GB version.
One thing I found tricky with the HTC is figuring out the status of the GPS. It came with Telnet Navigator...well a link to the web page saying it wasnt supported, downloaded the Vodaphone version on the links list, and when I try "where am i" it says it cannot locate me.
How exactly would I diagnose that my GPS signal is non-existant. I do live in the middle of nowhere.

The things you complained about are not HTC's fault. That's the operating system Windows Mobile. All other Windows Mobile devices work the same way with the little OK key in the top right and a keyboard popping out in the bottom, scroll bar in the right, etc. Changing the rom may speed it up, but it's still Windows Mobile.

I didn't really understant the question or the problem, but I am guessing you are looking for a simple GPS program to check your position and signal.

A few questions and requests

Hi,
I am quite new to Win Mobile Smartphones, but however I managed to get to a certain point where I started to build my application collection. Unfortunately there are a lot of questions of mine, to which I am not able to find answers, and since this is the biggest community of that kind, which i was able to find (not very easy) i think that it is proper to ask you for your kind assistance , I hope that i would not annoy you. I would try to organize my questions and request as neat as possible. I guess that they would be useful for all HTC Tornado Noobies
1. Please link me to the best Office Suit for the Tornado.
2. I may find quite useful the full version of SK Tools - currently i use a version of the software meant for Pockect PC, it is working, but it actually lacks the feature which arranges the menu in list not a grind ...
3. Skype - I use Fring, but there are too many bugs, unfortunately i did not find a straight forward instruction on how to install skype. I think that IM+ for Skype would do the job, but it is paid .... I need skype for chat only no VoIP intentions.
4. I use Opera Mobile, but if you have came across any better browsing solution - please share it
5. How could i remove anything except the clock, the date and the recently used programs from the home screen, the appointments, messages etc. are quite useless for me.
6. Could i use 4GB SanDisk with the Qtek 8310, and if so would i face any problems.
7.Please share any build quality issues and opinions, which you have experienced, I guess that the weak spots are the Joystics and the screen (it seems so weak to scratches). I am also get quite annoyed by the dust under the screen so please tell would it appear.
Many thanks for the help in advanace!

Best advice, you need to take your time and read the threads. You'll find many answers to your concerns. I've added some options for you. Check above >>

Thank you for the detailed answer to my questions!!!
I would surely try your suggestions, and today i started reading the threads in the Tornado section, but from page 71 towards the present moment... it will take some time
I would highly appreciate some more opinions, i would post mine for the newly downloaded applications, suggested by @markanthonypr. Many thanks once again.

I am using a 4GB on my tornado and some people on this forum are also using 4GB. But it should be normal miniSD (non-HCSD).

Desperatly need to increase phone volume - WM6.1

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to this forum and it's my first post. I'am also not an english speaker so I'll try to make myself as clear as possible (also hope I'm in the good section).
I recently acquired an Airis T483 smartphone, running WM6.1 (very unknown smartphone, I don't even find a link to show you its charasteristics...).
Anyway, I (and users using this phone) are having a big issue, and the Airis Company doesn't want to help us.
Basically, the phone volume is really really slow. Even with all volume indicators at their max, we almost can't use the phone because we merely can hear the person calling... This is so annoying, because our first use is off course to be able to use it as a phone. And for now we HAVE to use earphones to hear correctly.
We contacted the company Airis and their support and they are saying that the volume is correct and it corresponds to the standards... They keep up saying they are not modifying firmaware and can just replace our phone with identical ones...
So this is my question : Is it possible to find a software (or even write one) that can add "gain" to the volume level (I mean that can increase the volume, even when actually it's on 100%). So we can hear when we are using the phone.
Note : use of the speakerphone is excluded for privacy reasons...
I (and not only me) will be eternally grateful to anyone who could help us, even by pointing us to something we could maybe develop (we have basic knowledge and skills in programming).
Thank you all

Thank you for the links, but it's not working for me. I explain :
These threads are about the SRS WOW app that could effectively be a solution for me. I had a hard time with this software so I'm going to tell you what happenned :
- First you have to find the good version of SRS WOW HD for PPC with WM6.1 to have it "install" correctly. For me it was the version 1.21 found on one of the links you gave me. It's the only that installed correctly and I was able without a load error like 'ERROR : driver missing'....
- Then, my phone was silent (which was predictable according to the posts of guys who tried it with WM 6.1).
- I did the registry tweaks but it did not work. I placed correctly the old values in the right keys etc... but the phone keeps silent. Hopefully by uninstalling the program everything goes back to normal. I went through all night reading about this and it appears that the soft has compatibility issues with WM6.1 and some smartphone or PPCs (by the way, I know it's a dumb question, but have I a smartphone or a PPC ??? I'm kind of lost :s )
So, at the end, I still don't have found a solution. Pleease I'm beging... Help me find a way, don't do the work at my place, just point me somewhere to look for if you could.
I'm ready to develop something, I'm ready to give specs about my phone (BTW I discovered in the device database that it has Mono sound, not stereo... is that relevant ?), I'm ready to give a dump of the registry and look into it with help of someone... anything that could help.
If you have even just a thought, a lead, please share it. Thank you very much.
P.S : During this long night i found an application called "Audio Gain Tweaker", sounds like a dream... but only compatible with... HTC phones !!! So if someone of you guys needs a gain, he knows where to start searching

Ok, it's definitely a PPC, I got the difference now.
Regarding my problem, anyone has a clue ? What should I do, I mean can I post this thread to the Development and hacking section ???

Thanks for your help, but it's same as last answer. This tweak is about a file called AudioPara3.csv which in HTC phones is situated in the windows folder. The goal is to replace it by the tweaked one, but I don't have such file in my phone and placing it into windows folder doesn't change anything ! (I tried off course...)
What do you think I should do ? Contact dev and hacking section ? Is there anyone who can help me finding relevant keys with a dump of my registry ???
