Hey guys
I was just thinking, it would be awesome if A_C Could include a slide to alarm program with s2u2. A_C, if you see this I know your always completely immersed in projects, but I think this would be pretty cool/convenient.
It could work like the regular s2u2 screen, but play any mp3 etc, and have a slider that looks like this:
DISMISS ==========<>=========== SNOOZE
What do you guys think?
there are other alarm tools out there that do the job, but i would definitely use the one integrated with s2u2 if it is ever made.
nice idea. i hope it will be done
the idea with sliding is to make sure that non-human forces cannot unlock your device. A better solution would be buttons that are integrated into S2U

Wait what? How is my slider different from the normal one that it can be slid by accident?
I like it. There have been a number of times where I've accidentally dismissed an alarm by hitting the dismiss button while flailing in my half-sleep... It's easier to dismiss an alarm than to postpone it which is a major fail in my book. The least detrimental option should always be the easiest to implement. Something requiring a more cognizant response would be quite welcome by me.
Personally, I think that to dismiss it should require something a bit more involved... perhaps a double slide or slide one direction then the opposite.
The only question I would have would be how to handle the duration? Just a a length preset in the settings?
While we're at it how about an alarm with the option to slowly increase the volume? Yes, I know a couple other apps have it... I don't really like them.
interesting idea...

It would be nice to have this for alarms and event reminders. I've always wanted a few more options on snoozing reminders! Right now there is a huge gap between 1 hour and 1 day. I wish there were options for 2 hours, 3, and 6 hours. (or whatever..)
My idea is once you hit snooze it will pop up a full screen of options for how long you would like to snooze. If you are too tired to answer it or just don't answer it, it should have a default after x seconds with no answer.
What do you guys think?
I'm not fond of the multiple interaction concept with regard to snoozing... Perhaps for appointment reminders, but not for alarms.
I'm for that. A very nice idea!

Non-Human?
Anyways...the actual iPhone S2U has a keypad lock on it also. You slide it, then the keypad fades in and requires you to put in the passcode
Would be nice if a Alarm cannot be "dismissed" by just one single click.
I have the incredible ability to snooze my alarm without remembering later... got me already into a lot of trouble

Good ideas. As for the increasing alarm can't you just edit a .wav to do that?

What I had intended by that is a system where you could specify that the first time it goes off it plays the sound at a certain level, let's say half volume. Then each time it goes off after a snooze the volume increases 10%.
Good idea i must partly agree.
Maybe you guys can even pull it off using the XDA resources to make this yourself.
Sorry about post number 13#, i like to call it evidence.

Alright, you know, I'm not even sure what was meant by that statement, however you need to settle down and relax. It's a bit late to go back over the thread, but you need to realize that not one of the persons responsible for dragging this thread through the mud was anything better than regular old fashioned users. No mods or admins contributed.
In all honesty, Noonski, did us a big favor. This thread was heading for the trash, he stepped in, moved it somewhere neutral and cleaned it up. He didn't have to, he didn't have to take the time to salvage it.
Attempting to place blame on the administration and foster anti-establishment sentiment is only going to prove an even greater disservice to the rest of us.
Be civil, accept that the moderators and administration do indeed have the final say in this PRIVATE venue and I'm sure you'll be treated fairly. Hell, be nice and polite and perhaps we may just get a venue for the type of discussion we would like to see...
Ok?

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.

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)

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..
To all the guru's here, how can I get a home icon on the top bar. This way I can tap on it and go to the today screen. I know about wisbar, but don't want to use it for personal reasons. I know I can create a shortcut for a key using quickmenu and a gester using wktask but I just want a simple home icon (like wisbar or WA) in the top bar. Anyone have any ideas please?
Well, i don't know about the home icon, but maybe you'll find vjTodayButton useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=243235&highlight=todaybutton
You map it to a hardware button. Now, when you press (and hold) this button, you see the Today screen. When you release it, you are returned to the app you were previously in - IMO much more useful than anything that takes you to the home screen aln leaves you there...
Not quite what I need. If the icon is in the today bar, then it is available in any program I run. This allows me to switch to the today screen with only on tap. When I am finished then I can click on the wktask name/icon header to get back to where I was. I know I'm being a little ridiculous with this, but for speed and ease, this is the best option for me.
I know someone has to have an idea. This forum is to large and great for only one person to try and help out.
Well, maybe try editing your first post and use a bit more descriptive topic subject.
Messages titled with some nondescriptive name like "Need some assistance...", "help needed", "can i do this?", etc... often get ignored... It's really hard to check every single such message to often find out that they concern something you have no idea about.
But something like "How to put a shortcut in the top menubar" might just catch the eye of someone who actually knows the answer...
Just as the point 2 of the rules says:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=681487&postcount=1
While you're at it, take your time to read trough them - they're not here because the admin was bored and decided to write something - their goal is to make forum browsing a bit easier - really.

I am using iLauncher from SBSH, this gives you what you want, at a price though.
post em'. new ideas guys, let me hear it..
I've been rather inactive on the forums lately (life is catching up with me ), and reading through a hundred extra pages doesn't seem logically fathomable for me to do.
A contacts app that matches the dialer app on the H build would be nice. But as far as usefull i cant think of anything right now.
The ability to shoot lasers.
well i upgraded myself from touchpro to g1 and one thing that i really miss is Flash player support and equalizers in music player.
guys pls do them. and i think that my voice will be echoed by many.
hoping that we will beat iphone iconic status one day as this plateform as enormous poential
thanks
I would really like widgets ...Weather Stocks...and such
any feature we want? how about if we tap the edge of the screen, a little virticle bar comes up on the side of the screen where we can control volume, and maybe on the other side of the screen, a bar to adjust the brightness. would be convenient, but there are volume buttons on the side of the phone lol, but still, some apps don't change the appropriate volume.
how about a seem edit to make the phone a little louder? i'm sure that it can get much louder. i dont know how throughly you can edit these builds.
will add stuff later.
Multitouch!
I second that.... multi-touch, at least in browser, hopefully in maps as well.
Umm H build is perfect lol, but umm adding the multitouch code to the browser wont hurt.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL ADOBE RELEASES SOMETHING. I don't think haykuro is offering to make new programs for you. Don't be stupid. He's asking you what he can do to the builds to make them better. For an example, like somebody mentioned a GOOD IDEA and SOMETHING HE CAN DO: MULTITOUCH. Because he can modify a few files and somebody has already done it in a previous build, thus he can do it in this build. Correct me if I'm wrong. My heck people, enough whining for things like Flash Players. Don't you think that if it was so easy to do, it would have been done before? Haven't you morons figured out that having a GOOGLE phone, you could simply use GOOGLE for searching? Wow, that's a crazy idea, right? Using Google? Half you numbskulls could find what you're actually complaining about if you used it.
If you loved your HTC Pro blah blah blah whatever the crap it was, use that phone and stop complaining and asking for things that aren't going to happen until Adobe comes out with it. Go bug Adobe for it. Or Google. No developer is going to do it for you.
use the HTC VK as the default
focus on fixing the background noise during calls
multitouch would be awesome
i will update with more later...
@ankjain
Boy... I would like Flash too... lets hope Adobe pulls through with it's promise
this is a for fix for an issue I have not found elsewhere.
I have noticed with Bluetooth enabled listening to my A2DP headset (Plantronics A590)although the buttons on the headset work, they automatically start up the default music app when pressed... even if I am using another app.... So currently I am forced to use either the default music app, or use the controls on the phone not the headset.
Some sort of built in setting (like in open home or DXtop) to be able to select from multiple themes and icon sets and the ability to hide them in the drawer like open home.
an app switcher that can be re-located to the bar like in the app bar-control or can be used with a button combo.
Thanks for all of your hard work, I am very satisfied being able to use build currently... fixes are always welcome and improvements are a bonus
Bring back some how the
"Myfavs"
Zoom on browser
More widgets.
try fixing the quality of the pictures displayed when receiving a call... they are very pixelated
Just putting this out there. I was browsing the web with Opera earlier today, and wanted to switch to one of the other running apps.. I kind of annoyed me having to hit the home-button, start x-task, flipping to apps and switching to the app... Likewise when I wanted to go back to Opera...
I was thinking maybe swipe two fingers vertically on the screen to bring up a semi-transparent task-manager or something?
Anyone up for the challenge? There is already a .NET dll for catching the touchinput on this forum
nice idea! Would love to see that in action - hopefully this reply will put your message back to the top and catch the eye of some of the clever people on here!
Back up to the top!
Yeah sounds like a nice idea
This would be absolutely awesome, and i really hope this will be made
I wrote a little program that launches a task manager when you do a two finger swipe down the screen, I'm cleaning up the code and will have something releasable shortly...
There's a video here.

Great concept. It adds a totally new "gesture interface" to the HD2! Is this app. just a preview of what will come? I mean, I can imagine that you develop this concept further into a general launcher in which a user can map all kind of gestures to different applications/tasks. Wow, this is really revolutionairy stuff. Can't wait to try it out.

Fantastic l3v5y! Just what I had in mind
very nice and innovative....
Very nice, l3v5y... Please don't forget us 'lefties' though, when you're configuring and testing it...!
Just to keep the options open... Has anyone looked into the idea of commandeering one of the hard keys to open up an 'App Selector'?
I'm thinking here particularly of the 'Back' key as I can see little point in having this key on a device with a touch screen. However, the mere fact that I have, to date, not seen any 're-mapping' solutions involving this key suggests that it may still be 'out of bounds' to developers...
Getting 'double posts all the time now - very annoying!
This will certainly make life a lot easier! Good piece of work and can't wait for the finished product.
OMG... I cant wait to have this! You sir are a genious l3v5y!... I first read about this on my wmpoweruser rss feeds for the HD2
For GOD sake!!! Release this ASAP!!
When you think small you never get somewhere, when you think different you move forward and forward and.... (ToddeSwe)
Thanks!!! Can't wait to use this very new thinking app!!
WoW ... This is just... WOW Cant wait ! GogoGOgoGoogO
Please let this prog come out real soon....this looks awesome!! Good work l3v5y, cant wait to test.

This is too good to be true. When this prog is out, I will donate some good money. I invite people here to do the same. Masters like l3v5y are a blessing for this community.
By the way master l3v5y:
Here in this forum, there are some taskmanager softwares that have some essential flaws.
1. they are laggy and not fast enough. And they use lots of RAM
2. they don't close the windows when you push the X button in the top-right corner.
3. they don't work in all windows (so that you can switch programs no matter which window you are in).
4. Some of them don't have the Exclusion List.
If this program of yours could solve all of these problems, I will promise you that, you are gonna get a lot of praise and loooots of donations. It would make our HD2 a perfection. Take your time master l3v5y.
And to our friend yngvebn who opened this thread. Good job mate but the idea was found before you did Great thinking by the way.
Looks great! Currently I use the home button and then it goes directly to my 9 shortcuts (yeah I should get more icons there) and press the other apps running in the background. It's been a good solution for me.
I love the HTC keyboard and the phone, however one noticable problem on the phone is the lag on the KB, which is horrible because it is the most used component of a phone with a software KB.
Anyway, I took off autocorrection, and prediction and also On DC v2.05's rom their is a customized KB I took off the setting that highlights a key when it is selected. The KB is running much smoother.
The iPhone has the best onscreen KB and correction and the main reason is it is not cluttered.
What I am requesting is an app that enables auto correct and prediction, but hides the corrections. I know this will stop us from being able to push the space bar to complete a word, but it would also keep the screen less cluttered, I understand their still might be lag. But i Hate it that all the words you are typing show up, that causes lag.
For example if I were to type in "JTC" instead of "HTC" I want the keyboard to correct it but not show the correction on the screen, like the iPhone.
Is this possible?
in your case at the bottom, what if you MEANT to type JTC though? Would it still correct it to HTC? Because that would be extremely annoying
I would have to manually go back and fix it. but the autocrrection should stay the same meaning it will correct it in most cases it just doesbt show up.
i understand what ur saying how the kb gives you it suggestion of what you meant and then the next guessed word is what you actually typed. but i would be willing to give that up to hide the kb corrections.

I'm not here to rain on your parade (although this forum isn't really the right place to be asking for Android application requests) but this is the thing that makes me lol every single time I'm texting with someone on an iphone. Their auto-correct is constantly picking wrong words and it's hard to figure out what they are even saying.
With that said the custom keyboard in damage control is the one made by some xda guys. Go put in the request. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc_ime-keyboard-v19/
