working iphone slide lock and mp3 scroller for WM5???

Check this out... http://techdigest.tv/2007/02/watch_the_iphon.html The working slide lock and scrolling mp3 library is cool. Wouldn't mind getting ahold of that software.

oh my god
how do you do the unlock scroll button. i cant figure it out
iphone who what where........haha this is great. oh this gonna be great if they perfect that scrolling feature.

I just want the locker...

how do we do this. and how to get the slide to work. enlighten us or me.
im using the meizu theme which is better that the iphone theme. the wishbar skin is very accurate with the signal strength plus it kicks ass on my 8525

No idea how he did either one. Perhaps it's flash based.

Slider lock
Guys,
He's using something called,
PPL1.20. PPL can be downloaded for free from http://arianesoft.ca
I installed this, but have no clue on how to use it!!!
http://www.tzywen.com/index.php
Any help here?

The video demo is really impressive...
I hope he'l sheare his develpment
To be honest I dont find faking the iPhone very exciting. However many concept in the interface are worth having (Like the sliding lock, the big icons "a la" claunch, etc...
What would be great is use what he developped and then configure our own icons, background, etc... That do not have to be Apple's one (Yes Apple's oens look good but sooner or later we'll get tired of them...)
Kind of a way to have the best of both worlds

+1 that theme is unreal.

It requires programming skills
Basically if what the video shows is tue he did quite a good programming job there (Actually PPL seems ike an interesting tool)

slider
OK,
Anyone willing to try reverse engineering an actual slider lock with this program mentioned above?

hell if i can emulate the iphone on my 8525 why get the iphone. oh 4gb memory, 4gb memory cards are already out. remember we can add third party apps.
but hey its still a hot phone. but check out the meizu iphone copy lol.
i know i can get the iphone for $350 when it comes out though.

That would defiantly be cool. I would even host the download on our web servers to avoid issues...

hey send to me if someone makes it. i dont mind being a guinea pig.
i have a wizard and the hermes

Ouch
The account of the guy has been suspended...
I guess that the host doesnt want troubles with Apple (+ probably he had a huge bandwith consumption...)
Obviously it's "programmable" and he seems to have it done pertty nicely
The whole point now is to have him share his development (Too much work to start this from scratch...)

His site is back up
However he is staying mute... No answer on his blog when you post a message..

hey people! here is the new updated slider!
it supports:
* Lock the Pocket PC keyboard inputs - NEW!
* fullscreen without taskbar
* 12 hour support (like “10:22 AM”) - FIXED
* highlighting “slide to unlock” text
* english dates (like “saturday, march 14″)
* error sound plays when tapping anywhere except slider button
* opening sound plays when slider align to right (3 second)
i’m trying to get load external image to background.. it works in flash test file but it not works after the compiled exe file..

Shadow Interface

Hi,
Some one knows if the new Shadow Windows Interface can be handled by any of our devices?
Regards,
Taguapire.

what's it look like? any pic's?

i dont have any pics, but it is a simple, yet complex interface. you scroll up and down to get to different menu options. then you can scroll left/right to go to sub options. The interface is nice, but i think it can definately use some tweaking. Ill see what i can do about pics. Also, we need to get a shadow sub-forum opened up so we can address these things in the proper place.
A pic of the interface from Engadget
EDIT: added lik to photo

Shadow pictures
You can see pictures of shadow here and here
Regards,
Taguapire.

nice phone imo..

it really is. The 2x memory does make it run pretty smooth and the size is awsome (almost 1 to 1 the size of a Blackberry Pearl) As soon as i get familiar with the "sure type" style keyboard, i think i will be fully sold on it. Though i do miss a few functions of my PPC (t-mo wing), i feel like i am using my excalibur (t-mo dash) again... just smaller with a bigger screen and 2x memory. So if you are a fan of the excalibur, i think you will really like the Shadow.

Could be terrific if we can try the Shadow Interfae in our devices.
Regards,
Taguapire.

I believe that the shadow runs Windows Mobile Standard, so those with Windows Mobile Professional (touch screens) might be SOL...

Use WAD...
Someone with enough time to spare with Wisbar Advance Desktop can EASILY make that happen if the icons areavailable. Jst sharing some info thats all

alipendier:
People would if there was WAD for smartphones

That may be coming at some point

...yes, it is -- but definitely needs tweaking!

Chome Weather 2.0

FYI, CHome Weather 2.0 works on the VOX. Please follow the link to see the original thread in the Excalibur forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396068
And click here to download the files needed for the Vox.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2250095&postcount=43

Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now

I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.

Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.

Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.

I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:

have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device

Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.

Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".

Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!

works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???

As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!

Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?

So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.

Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...

(Request) Programs i wish existed !

hey everyone just thought id bring some of my program ideas to the board
if anyone is interested in making them as i have no programming knolage..
ok the 1st is a wmp skin creator i have searched since wm3 was out for something like this but never found it i mean common its only a skn file thats got text in it shud be easy iv got lots of skin ideas but just dont have time to finish them as it took me ages to make my darkling skin
ok the 2nd green one is a Pen Optimized Skin for Longhorn-era Tablet PCs wich i think is realy cool ui (winhec today)
so i developed on the idea and tryed making it more pda/ppc related
and came up with the end 3 images.
and my last idea was a origami umpc style fullscreen keyboard
i was going to make this in spb fsk but recently all the codeing has
changed for the skins so im hoping someone can come up with
an alternative hopefully free version or even make this ?
let me know what you think of these ideas.

I like your keyboard idea. Its a really interesting form.
It should be a little smaller though.
I'm thinking as an option, that the keyboard should be split in the middle to reduce the size, with no symbols showing
I also like your 3rd idea.
I haven't used ThrottleLauncher, but it seems like it would be a good skin for it.
I'm not a programmer either, I just like to design stuff, think of program ideas too.

more then a whole year and no one found anything,or didnt post..

I'm liking the keyboard layout too.

im working on he keyboard idea but will be for Wvga as anything smaller would be silly i think

colour keyboard skins for stock htc keyboard......

id like to add a bit of colour to the keyboard on my hd2 as im finding the gray look a bit dull. im thinking maybe something like red letter/number keys, black arrow and surrounding keys and leave the background bit between the keys as it is. the letter/number keys have to have a faded look, dark red at the bottom slightly fading at the top. is this possable, or am i wanting too much lol........
cheers

nah, looks no different to what we have now. i'd like a colour scheme something like this.......
is it even possable..?

i take it thats a no then.....

it has to be possible, try finding where the keyboards files are located or maybe there is a registry key for it ...
after you find where the files are at you can start playing around with them...
please let us know if you find out anything...

if what your looking for is to have the letters in white and the rest of the keyboard in red then yes it is possible.
I could do that for you if your willing to to pull about stock 30 files off your phone.
I just finished a keyboard skin for my touch pro 2 and it has a slightly different layout then the hd2.
That being said I need the stock files from an hd2 to be able to make a skin for one as it is.
I can make your skins in return for the files I need

perhaps the dude here can help....

He knows what he is doing graphically, I will say that
He might be able to make the skins for sure, but he cant pack it into a cab or change the color of the text. He has all his files in a zip
Hes had requests already for a cab and for different letter colors and he said he doesnt know how.
He also has alot of comments on there regaurding the SIPBitmaps.dll file not working properly. So I dont think he knows how to resolve that.
I dont blame him hough, It took me hell to fgure it out the first time around.

im using a windows 7 style swype keyboard.
elegancia comes with a skinned "typestyle" keyboard.
sorry guys.
as far as swype goes theres a swype folder in the windows folder that you can play with the keyboard graphics and replace.

I made a few wp7 swype keyboard skins a while back. Here's a link to them if anyone's interested (click on image for link)..
White Background Screenshot..
Black Background Screenshot..

nice nando never seen em before.
I'm using lesscros and a couple that I played around with.
