[IDEA] Diamond2 Zoombar as buttons - General Questions and Answers

Dear Developers
I have a request for a nice peace of software. I guess a lot of Diamond2 user will love it.
Now that we can scroll through the file explorer and so on (with zoombar) it would be great to have a "button" to click on the selection.
As there was an app for the diamond1 that made the Multi-Touch-Buttons customizable (hold, click, tap, double tap)
I thought it would be possible to use the zoombar as different buttons:
Button 1: Tap the zoombar on the left (magnifier(-) to 3rd line)
Button 2: Tap the zoombar in the middle (between 3rd and 7th line)
Button 3: Tap the zoombar on the right (7th line to magnifier(+))
The three buttons should be customizable in their action.
Btw. the zoombar and the buttons should work at the same time.
(There is an TouchHD mod that enables their "new zoombar" OR the touch-buttons)
Original post
Would be great if someone could help me (and all other Diamond2 user)
Regards Mar'Cel

That's great idea. That would be really good to have it work as buttons

Intresting idea..

As and when I get a Diamond2 (I should hopefully get one when T-Mobile UK get them) I'll try this, unless someone else gets there first...

Great idea, I was thinking the same thing. I'd definitely need to have something like this available before I would purchase the phone (this one or the touch pro 2) . I could not imagine always using the touch screen for so many things and not having a d-pad, I use it all the time on my FUZE.
I would take this app idea even one step further: make the 'zones' completely customizable as well, so you could create as many as you like, by specifying coordinates for something. (i.e., if the scroll bar has 100 "units", you could say "0-20 is button 1, 21-40 is button 2", etc) So, in my case, I'd try to see if it would work to have 5 "zones":
left, up, select, down, right
something like that. Might be tight to squeeze 5 buttons in there (3 is probably more realistic) but it might work, and with that layout you'd have a full d-pad ! It's gotta be possible, let's make this happen !!!! The little guidelines in the zoom area might actually make this even better and easier to implement, since there's a nice visual aid to let you know where to touch to get the button you want. Might be even better than the current diamond/touch pro d-pad !!

A possibility too. But I think a developer decides what makes more sense or what is better to implement And you know that the zoombar can be used to scroll through most lists/apps(with a little mod) and so on, right? And you have arrow keys on the keyboard.

Can you run the attached exe (copy it to your phone and run it there), and tell me what the "where:" value is, and whether "keyup" works?
Or, can you take a few screenshots of it when you click in different places on the zoom bar?
BTW, the exe is taken directly from the sensor reverse engineering by Scott Seligman, but if it works I can play around a bit and convert it to topaz...
EDIT: if it doesn't work, can you tell me what the error is?

Maybe I have to install anything before to make it run properly?
I get an Error "Unable to load HTC API DLL".
When I press OK I can see the orientation of my phone -> the tilt
and a little ring is sliding around when I tilt my device..
A second start of the app is possible after restart
I will download the HTC API.dll and try it again... but shouldn't the HTCapi.dll be there on my ROM already?
[edit] I found a HTCapi.dll from the Touch HD... can I use it or should I take another?

htcapi.dll is what provides data from the capacitive panel on the Diamond and Raphael. I'll need to look at a Topaz ROM and see what it's using instead. I think it might be using biotouch.exe/biotouch.dll since that's what the zoom bar for Blackstone is using... I'll look at it tomorrow.

I took the htcapi.dll from the HD and now your .exe runs without error.
But I still just see the ring sliding around and three "tachometer" showing my tilt direction.
Maybe you find out tomorrow (today^^) I'll have a look later

That means that HTC have changed the drivers for the zoom bar from what they had for the Blackstone/Diamond etc... I think they've now decided that the zoom bar is part of TouchFlo (the finger scrolling part, not the manila part). Time for some disassembly!

If you tell me how to find that out I could help you.. otherwise that doesn't tell me enough to help you without any hint

Any improvement yet?

Bump... Bump...

ok i'm a noob
can anyone guide me step by step, how to make zoom bar as a scroll bar
I found out here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512614
but it doesnt let the zoom bar to work 100% as a scroll bar
thx and sry for the noob question

wrong thread. go to topaz and see..use Advanced Config. an app that can also do what you ask for.

Common Dudes... no one can make our wishes come true?

i think they are using Smarttouch for scrolling the zoombar.. but I may be wrong, the reg entries suggest its that at least..
Code:

"Dll"="smarttouch.dll"

included the latest version for decompiling..
I've not seen a topaz, never mind played with it though, so this may all be wrong

zoom as screen on manilla, this is what i want

bump. With the lack of buttons, I think the original idea would be great. Perhaps write a small little app to dedicate buttons to the spaces (ie 1-20 = button 1, etc). If it was assignable, you could have as many or as few buttons as you wanted.
Think of the possiblities....

FULL SCREEN mode all the time ...

I am looking for advice here, somewhat of a newbie.
I want to run all of WM6 with the top start menu hidden and the bottom menu bar hidden (like full screen mode in IE). When you press a button these bars re-appear.
Does and application or hack like this exist ?

This is an easy one. In IE, tap menu/view/full screen. The top & bottom bars are gone. Tap/hold/full screen on the touch screen to go back.

Oooops, sorry I mis-read the thread. Good ?
Yeah, I am hoping to do this with all of WM6 in general.
I checked into Wisbar but am unconvinced this is the right app.
I'm in the same boat, did you end up figuring something out?
look up vijay555, he has a full screen mod. basically changes the top and bottom bar size. but to go back , you have to go into the program and change the values again. i don't have the know how, but i would think that someone could write a mortscript to run specific values, one for full screen and regular,.
Somebody asked me about this and I've reposted some new screenshots a couple of times today. Have a look here, regarding whether it was possible to make Word and Excel full screen.
I've written VJToggleToday II Alpha, which it surprises me that people are still using as it is so crippled. However, that app will hide the Start Bar and softkeys for most purposes. However, unless you intend to replace the start bar with an alternative, as I've done here:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
​
this can be more of a pain in the butt then just living with the normal start bar (as you have difficulty accessing the start bar, when you remove the start bar, although see VJKeyPress for an alternative route)
In any event, VJToggleToday has been written from the ground up as VJToggleToday IV, but this is unreleased right now. Version IV will not have the above problem - the bars will reappear when you want them to, automatically.
For a more effective solution, VJSihaya is where I'm really going, but that's not released yet [if ever!]. These are some screenshots for that:
​
And screenshots in Pooh-QVGA on my HTC Touch. I can't wait until VGA is available across the board, VJSihaya looks a damn sight better in VGA and beyond.
And just one more because I love this girl!​
V
PS It might not be apparent, but those are native screenshots. VJSihaya will remove the soft keys and relocate their functionality to a menu available when clicking the icon (top left of each window). VJToggleToday IV Redux is being used to hide the native start bar (at the top). The start menu continues to be accessible from VJSihaya's icons when it is otherwise hidden.
​
Have you thought of a bar like the Mac has at the bottom that reappears when you move closer to the bottom of the screen? I know we don't have a mouse movement but what if we run the stylus near the bottom of the screen?
Entirely possible, but for what purpose? For the soft keys or the start bar?
VJToggleToday IV hides the star bar completely or almost completely, optionally, but only on the Today screen. When you click away to another app, the start bar is there in its ugly ass normal position, optionally. I generally keep it hidden and replaced, as in my screen shot above.
The soft keys are typically intergral to use of most apps, so in the current incarnation of Windows Mobile, you shouldn't really hide them completely, so VJToggleToday IV gives you the option to do so, but it's generally not advised, except on the Today screen.
However, future versions of something like VJToggleToday will have a much more invasive cosmetic re-jigging of the standard Windows Mobile interface, to get rid of start bars and soft keys for a much better integrated solution.

For me it would be for all the shortcuts to applications, instead of cubes turning, and once it is visible, it could scroll sideways with arrows on each end. (an animated start bar I guess...)

Classic Game For Your XDA - "ANOTHER WORLD!"

This game was originally released on the Mac back in the early 1990's. The author then ported it to PC lter, and now a 3rd party, ith the authors permission of course, has ported it to WM5/WM6, and it is no freeware. The PC version still costs $8.99, but the mobile version is free.

(See attached File)
Wow! Thanks. I played it on my (still alive) Amiga1200.
thanks for the heads-up!
Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2432836 for a quick review & tips.
hey a cannot open the download can you help me pleaase!! I love this game!!
Cool! I played this game when it was released on the PC, and at the time it was impressive: Smooth animations and a sound quality not heard until then (when the most you got were bips) . Not to mention that it was a well developed story.
Update: I just installed it on my Samsung i780 and F-S Loox N560, it doesn't work on either . So it's probably QVGA compatible only. I will test it on my Touch and see if it works there. BTW, there's a Game Boy Advanced version as well that was ported some years ago.

Assign the left (right?) softkey functionality to Camera to be able to bring up the menu.
Do I have to resign my softkeys on my prophet, too? Why couldn't they make this easier?
sweet lord!
i need to see it on my machine to believe.
this is so incredible.
younger forum users won't probably imagine how shocking such news may be...for few.
This is a really stupid question, but how do you beat that first monster? The only moves he seems to be able to do is the jump kick (up) and the just a regular kick.
thanks,i played it on some kind of emulator few years ago,and it was really interesting,but i came to a part where some bug appeared and the game would just crash...thanks again,i'll be sure to try it

run past him...i can't really remember how coz i palyed it some time ago but in the 2. or third scene is some kind of obstacle or an elevation,so play with the monster,lure him to the first scene,then run past...or something like that...anyway you can't kill it

Run to the left, when he's about to jump over you, jump and keep running to the left. In the last screen you'll see a rope over the edge of the rock, jump from there and he'll grab the rope and move from left to right over the monster, then run all the way to the right.
BTW it's a great port. But I have found no simple way to bring up the menu on the HTC Touch. I mapped the camera button to left or right soft-key with no luck. Then I found that if you hold the power button as if you where going to power it off, as soon as the confirmation dialog appears, you can say "no" and the menu of Another World will pop up so you can quit without having to reset or power off.
Doesnt work on the Raphael.

Yeah i have the same troubles on my Touch Cruise.
I mapped left soft key to kamera or voice button (button 4) but it didn't help. Mapping is working in manila 2D, but not in the game (. So u cannot even enter code to continue in game.
Try to do the same: Hold the power button until a dialog asks to shut down. Cancel and the menu of Another World will appear.
Unfortunately I sold my Touch (to get a Diamond) and I can no longer play it since VGA is not supported .
Doesn't work on the Motorola Q. It looks like this:
Please help me. Broken GAPI and/or lack of screen rotation destroy it's value for games, emulators and applications
Wow, I just checked back...cant believe so many ppl replied to this and know about the game....cool

Wich keyboard best for HD2?

I know EZinput, Finger Keyboard. Resco Keyboard......
Wich one works best on the HD2? In portrait and Landscape mode.....
in my opinion the Touch Pal keyboard in both modes. With the less sensitive cab in addition i write igual as with a hardware keyboard - finally.
touch pal all the way
Oh really looks impressive... i wasnt that happy with resco´s...where can i get Touch Pal?
Touchpal is the best.
touchpal!!!!
I was about to say spb keyboard but if everyone is so waaauw about touchpal then I'm going to try it first

I'm going to stick with SPB, much easier typing on HD2
I am still waiting for my HD2 but on my Diamond 2, fingerkeyboard seems far more accurate and simpler to use than Touchpal. Having said that, I am quite impressed by the Touchpal keyboard and perhaps a larger screen will make it more friendly to use.
I need to get used to swiping... that may be my main issue....
Anyone here know how you can remap keys? That was something I really like about fingerkeyboard. being able to remap keys so I dont have to go into alternative layouts, hit shift, etc to get the stuff I use 99% of the time... all my smileys, ".com", and even "..." were on that one layout.... seemed much faster IMHO... If I could do that with Touchpal and swipe down to get smileys etc instead of swiping to get a different set of symbols, I would be a happy camper!

maybe you should try SlideIT. You can find it here: http://www.mobiletextinput.com/
IMO its even better than FK
I use Touchpal, and I've written an editor for the user dictionary.
It was developed on a QVGA device, but I've seen that it works quite good on WVGA and then on HD2.
I've released it for free on this forum, also.
Trying to find my challenge code, but can't find it. Because I can't find my settings\personal?
1. Go to "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Personal" -> "Input".
2. Find "TouchPal" in "Input Method" list and then click "Options...".
3. Click "Activate..." to bring up "TouchPal Activation" dialog.

Yes iPhone qwerty touch screen keyboard is the best keyboard I ever use. It's very accurate, you can't press two keys at same time like in WM. It's like, when you press on key, the radius of invis button is increasing, so if you touch other buttons around, thny not triggered.
Touch Pal freezing and cannot see how to Activate
I have the Me Card filled in under People, which covers the Owner information requirement but the instructions to get to where to enter the registration code does not work on the HD2. At the moment CooTek are unable to solve this.
I was premature in wanting to register as the programme currently freezes when the phone comes out of standby and I cannot choose any other keyboard until I soft reset the phone.
I have Touch Pal installed in main memory.
Any ideas folks?

Sorry if it's been asekd but...

Well I think you should try to get/buy TouchPal 4.0
this is a youtube link:

look on the 0:32 second the layout is similar to yours+T9+you can adjust size so it will be more comfortable for you

Why? Cus it's missing certain things (like the keypad), it's got a couple of bugs in it... like error messages asking to send info to Microsoft (see here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639799) and also the blummin rotation thing seems to stick on portrait when i want landscape! That aside, i'm impressed
Oh, one more thing i don't like about it (though there is a way round it as always!)... tomtom... the TG01 cannot directly use it's built in gps! you have to get a 3rd party app to link in conjunction with it! You don't get issues like that on the Diamond or Blackstone do ya!
About the error you get ^_^
I have 2 TG01 devices and i did'nt get such an error ever.
But If I am not mistaken gwes.exe is actually the application that monitors your touch screen.
I also ran into some post that refered the error to the screen sensitivity (calibration) and also to the time you actually press the screen (on the same place)-it makes the CPU usage to hit the 40%+ some even talked about 80% in extreme cases...
did it also stay after hard reset/Rom flash?
if so when does it happen to you exactly?

Well, it normally happens when the unit has gone into hibernation mode or if you put it into 'sleep' unsing the power button and then wake it back up later on. I've just had it happen again about 5 mins ago. After that, it got really odd. Every time i pressed the power button, it 'flashed' the screen back on and then went off. This happened about 5 times. In the end, i had to pull the battery and restart. Weird.
As for flashing a rom, if there was a WWE ship out there, it'd be on it right now mate cus this Orange rom is garbage. Sadly, to my knowledge, there isn't one available... or is there?

Go to start->settings->system and turn off error reporting.
Tell me if you get the same problem again but this time without the error post.

[SKIN] New MorphGear Multi-Touch Skins

I searched some Multi-Touch Skins for MorphGear on the xda Forum, but i do not found a lot of them, so i decided to create one and post it here.
There are two skins, a first one with buttons X and Y, and a second one without buttons X and Y.
Put files in "MorphGear\Skins" folder.
Orientation : East (So it is Landscape Skin)
Size : 150% (But you can play in 140% or 145%)
You can play also with "Window Size", you have just to remember where are the buttons.
Just try it, and you will see it is very funny, personnaly i like it.
If you like it or not, tell me it here with your raison.
I think i will create a new release of it, with new hidden buttons L+R, X+Y, A+B, A+Y, and B+X.
And correct some bugs, if it is necessary.

Twenty two downloads in two hours, but no reply.
If it is possible, say me your point of view.
Because i think i have to make a new release.
In four hours, this post had 124 views and the files was downloaded 25 times.
I really hope futur downloaders will put a reply to tell me what hey think about it.
it says error message
hi on my hd2 leo when it download it says: there's no file asciate with(name of the file)
I have not error with it, and after some hours and more than fifty downloads, only you have a problem.
So i think you make a mistake.
I think you have just forget a file in the correct folder.
Check if you put in "MorphGear\Skins" folder, the ".jpg" and the ".txt" with the same name.
After in your MorphGear settings, you have just to choose the skin with this name.
For the moment i have no bad replies of Members.
And i put in my first post the numbers of downloads with date.
So i think, those skins are nice.
But i prefere have replies.
oh yeah, very nice, I'm going to test it... but I wonder why need to change Size 150%... maybe it's silly question. thank you
Working very bad on my HD2.When i press A it presses B (not always but very often,but i press A without touching B).Direction keys have this bug too (pressing right,it goes left and so on).Skin looks good,but the size of game screen - trash.It is very small and it is bad for eyes.Better leave only buttons and remove the gameboy screen.

I just advice a size, but after you can play with the size what you want.
I play in size "150%" (Maximum % size) or "Windows size" (Maximum size), because it is not too difficult to remember where are the buttons and to use it.

I have no bugs with the two skins, but thanks to explain me your problems, because i said i ahve to make a new release.
So i have to know if someone have problems, even if you are the second on 160 downloaders who reply problems.
I don't know about which skin do you speak (with or without XY) and the raison of your problem when you press a key A, but i hope it is not just the fact you have perhaps too big fingers.
Even if, the button have huge Largeur height size and normal width size for using it.
If you speak about the skin without XY, you can see where you have to touch for using the buttons A and B :
If you speak about the skin with XY, i have to improve it in the new release.
I know that the position of the game screen skin is not perfectly make, but i will check it on the new release.
The aim of the skin is to have the skin of the "GameBoy Advance", but don't worry i am working on the special skin for playing in "Window size" and having simple and huge buttons.
Thanks for your reply, and i hope when i will be post the new release, you will try it.
Some screen shots would help for those of who have no idea what this is or does.

You have right, i forgot it.
I will put it now.
Ок,thank you.I saw where i should press,but it is rather hard not to press another button.
btw,it will be better to make more space between A and B buttons (X and Y too in 2nd skin),more space between cursor buttons (and will be better to make them little bigger).
And here is a bug (i don't have it in other skins).When you press any button and then press Left cursor,then the left cursor will repeat button that you pressed before (not always working) and it lags.Tested this skin mainly on Megaman and Bass (GBA) game.Some other games have this bug,some not.
P.S. Got lags when i pressed left cursor in every game!

I will try to see if i have it also, and if i have it, i will correct it.
But if i have not it, i will telll you and if it is possible, you will giave me more details.
EDIT : I tried on GBA and NES, and i don't have the bug of left arrow repeat, i will try on differents games and every emulation and after, i will tell you.
I had a little lag on GBA emulation (but no in NES) when i pressed very quickly left arrow, then right arrow, then left arrow, and i repeat it a lot times, but i have it with two others skins, so i don't know if it is the skin or MorphGear.
I will continue to test and try, and if it is a bug of the skin, i will check it, but in oder to if it is MoprhGear, i can't check it.
I will wait then.
I just tested some games with other skins-there is no such a bug
I think you make the button is larger, it's small and hard to play games... and make the button with 8 navigation. thank you.
