[HELP ME!!!] Can't remember app title. - General Questions and Answers

Hi all.
This is making me pull my hair out!!! There's an app available, from this site I believe, that allows you to bring up the task manager by clicking the X that normally closes (or hides) applications, and then swiping the stylus down. (You can also do it across, but that's for something different.)
Can anyone remember the name of this app as I'm desperate to find it and get it on my phone.
Thanks in advance,
John.

I think you mean this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4030896
Its called Showcase. The earlier versions were as you described but it has developed further now.

Thanks Chris, but that's not it. Funilly enough, I'd just tried that before posting this thread and found it not suitable for my needs.
Someone MUST know what I'm talking about!

I think you're talking about QuickMenu, or QMenu, just look for it

Thanks for the suggestion. It's not that that I was looking for, but I've decided to start using that anyway, as it's pretty good.
I think the program I was looking for was called WsTask, but I can't find an up-to-date working version of it any more.
I did find WkTask, but that doesn't work well on WM6.5 - it looks very strange.
Thanks for the help guys. I'll stick with QuickMenu and see how I get on.

could it be this one: http://pda.jasnapaka.com/tman/releases/0.9.9.php
I find it very useful - to me it satisfies my needs,

New User Interface

Hello,
Pointui.com has launched a new user interface, similar like iphone and its free.
Check out a detail review over here.
Nice!
Looks very promising. But I think it will be a real memory eater. Can't wait to see the first reviews.
Interface
interesting, looks very nice. apparently, they will release their first version at midnight today. can't wait 00.00 and by the way, i wish u all a happy happy new year with out beloved wizards

It does look nice, but you realize that was a demo, right? I'd like to see a real demo with an actual running copy of it with a real finger using it. As far as I could tell, thats just a flash (or similar) example.
BTW the website (with countdown clock) is at http://there-is-no-place-like-home.com/
mfrazzz, if you want to know for sure then go and download it
It's now available.
BTW: I'll retract my above statement after watching this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRw1T-N5dic&feature=user
Looks impressive as the other demo.

Thanks and it looks very slick and is very responsive. I have issues trying to setup my home location for weather though. First, I find it odd that USA is seperate from North America . Then when I select Colorado and choose a letter (C for example) it first loaded the B's. Then I exited out and came back in (as it kept showing B) and did it again. Choose C again and it loaded W's...
Still this look very impressive. Are we allowed to cook this into roms?

It's free, and I didn't see any licensing information so I don't know why not.
Hi mfrazzz, sounds like you are hitting the right of the screen in the area that activates bookmark scroll try clicking in the center or to the left.
In the future it would be great if you guys want to burn it into roms, but if I was you I would wait for a few bugs to get sorted out. We are going to be spending the next few weeks working through issues that have already been raised in our forums.

Yeah, I think my problem is I'm doing quick and light presses. I need to get the feel of this, but if I do a more firm press its selecting thing properly. So I think this is a case of user error in learning this

Yep, fully understand.
Quick question... Is there anyway to get to the Apps that are located in the Start Menu? (\Windows\Start Menu) . This seems to show apps starting at \Windows\Start Menu\Programs . So by default things like Office, Contacts, etc are not available (unless I'm missing something again).
On first blush, I'm impressed so far. Now people need to rewrite the apps underneath so they are more finger friendly too
Hi mfrazzz, try in Favorites.

Its really useful, but theres is some of the thing that is missing in it, if intigerated than it would one of the most useful program a winmo user will ever need. I will write a review on it may be tommorow check my blog.
This looks freaking sweet. There is one thing that I noticed though. Kinetic/Touch scrolling is normally done opposite in the direction of scroll so that the text/image follows the direction of your movement. This seems to bg going in the direction of scroll. Is there a setting to change this?

You can change this. Hit your settings button (upper right gear symbol) The change it to object navigation from slide naviagation)
Also for those that can't close programs. Hit the program name (of the app you have open)in the upper left, then choose force close. So far i have only seen this not work on the phone screen which you have to minimize.
I really like this interface and it's a keeper for me. The only issues i really have is #1) Reoccuring appointments do not show and #2) it defaults to outlooks e-mail instead of the account switcher. i don't use the outlook e-mail, instead i check 2 pop accounts. My work around for now is to add a shortcut to messaging to the startup and access it there.
If anyone has a work around for the above, please post it.
GREAT APP though!
Hi ROCOAFZ, version 1.01b is going to be available soon which allows for an alternative email store - you can specify a different store name and the unread email indicator is the total for all your email accounts. Won't have a screen to update it at this stage - just a registry val to set, but with a bit more time...
1.01b is going to be the first mass test of Update Manager. Man, I hope it works
Recurring appointments - on the list, but don't expect it within the next few days - we're back to day jobs as of tomorrow and presently spending time trying to tackle some of the bigger bugs. Actually, we are spending our time trying to keep up with our forum and getting no coding done
Glad you like it.
Hi everybody,
I have written a detail reveiw of pointui home here check it out.
well i just install it on my phone and i think it's a lovely app. run fairly smooth on my wizard. kinda lag on the switching of viewing mode, unlike the video. beside that i love.

I have installed and it's rather nice, data usage more than mini bout 2.5x on large pages, it's quick on page load, it's got a neat cube effect for history, got tabed browsing trying to get used to as it has no open in new tab, can't work out how to get to home page without closing or setting as bookmark. Oh and a mouse pointer like mimi.

yeah, the home page thing is goofy. other than that i love it. i turned off that page overview though. it was annoying me. so far it's very fast. i might use this over opera.

you are a gentleman and a scholar.
i appreciate the quick run down. i guess ill give it a shot...
edit: hahah jeez..i make it sound like its manual labor to download and install....it must be monday...or im that damn lazy and unmotivated.
forgot to mention: i'm running the t-zones on t-mobile.
hmmm, other than having to get use to it and no obvious active zoom in and out buttons...i like it.
Also I'm gonna try and tweak the registry a bit...the scrollbars are WAY too thick.
can't find the registry settings...any help?
it looks like there is code available on the download page. that's not really my area though.

Yeah it was hardcore having to install that .cab, Just wanna congratulate you on your sticky that's slick.
After a bit of use i would say it's nice and free, but does not compare to Opera Mobile or Mini, i could see in the future it could with a little bit of tweaking, Home Page, Open in new tab.
Will keep it on phone and hope updates solve this.

If your new, what you do is use this button called "Search" button. Every site I have registered for, and trust me - when i say every site, i mean a lot of them be it mobile, car etc. How is that I've always been able to find my way by using the "search" button but most new users will not do that. Give the search button a try and just see the results, almost everything has been gone over.
Welcome to the site and Enjoy your stay here.
To answer your question, it's because you need to install TCPMP (A Media Player with special flash codecs) or search for vTAP for you to play youtube videos. Good Luck!
P.S: Noone is trying to be rude or mean, it's just that some members get ticked off because everyday we have newbies coming in and asking the same questions. Go through the first few stickies and you'll find that almost all your questions have been answered.
i do have tcpmp installed but it still comes up with error i did search but it came up with irelevent answers like unrecognised usb etcs
i think ill give the iris a miss

Note Taking Program ~ Finger Friendly

Guys,
I'm looking for a decent 'Note Taking Program' and was wondering what you would recommend for the HD2?
What I need is something that I can drop into the favorites on the Home Tab.
Some of the Note Taking Programs don't appear to look 'finger friendly' so I suppose that would have to be the main criteria.
Thanks in advance.
I've been just using the inbuilt Notes app to draw/write my notes. Not perfect, but it gets me by for the time being. until someone creates a good touch based one.

Are you talking of the OneNote App?
Only trouble with OneNote for the Phone is it's not a 'finger-friendly' application (as in I can't find a way to draw directly on the screen).
Thanks..
I think he means notes
( think its in a folder called Outlook, otherwise /windows )

it's not that brilliant on the HD2, but you can get by with it.
I was going to suggest PhatPad, I mean c'mon what could *sound* any more finger friendly? but it's not that good

Yes... I agree with both Nighthawk and your good self. It's not that good of a program.
You can't really do any 'finger-writing' properly unless you have the zoom at max (which then hampers it's use as a quick note taking program).
Nice to have the audio recorder there though...... but ohh do I so wish there were something better.
Would to know one as well!!! Need to take notes!
Think this may be what you are looking for! Very simple, very small file size, very finger friendly and freeware plus it looks alot better on our HD2's than what it looks like on the authors web site! Cab attached.

You can get evernote for windows mobile. I'm just about to try it out.

Agree......Nice one Nighthawk.
I too have been searching for a much friendlier art tool. This could well be it.
I know we are going off-topic here (deserves it's own topic) but one thing I like is it's not cluttered, quite simplistic but very good at dynamic drawing.
The only thing I have noticed that needs addressing is when you role back any mistakes (unlimited Undo), any ink that was drawn on screen outside of the 'Undo' box is left on screen and you can't get rid of it.
Did you notice this too Nighthawk?
Edited:
I've just sent off a message to DynaInk Support explaining the above problem.

It is sort of strange. When I was using WM5, the OneNote can draw. In fact it defaults to draw. So everytime I need to switch mode to type text. Now in HD2, I can't find a way to draw anything.
PS: the version I currently have on WM5 is 12.0.4518.1010; the version that came with HD2 is 12.0.4518.1155. However, neither of them can draw! I am still trying to dig up where I got the draw-able OneNote on WM5.

in my post you were replying to.
But maybe I was mistaken. The drawing application I used was the Outlook Note program, which also exists on HD2. However, the line drawings are very ugly.
While trying to use EverNote again (last time I tried it on Windows), I notice the forum messages on EverNote for WM and decided I had better stay away from this software.

interactive backgrounds

hey guys,
is there any way to get interactive backgrounds on hd2, like on nexus one or desire? would be really nice
or is it possible to have the nexus one background on hd2, maybe without "interactive"?
thanks in advance,
shifty512
is not interactive/animated but I think this is what you want.
You can use it as a wallpaper.!
yeah thats it
but isnt it possible to have it animated or even interactive?

Hello
I think we have to wait for TouchXperience!
would be awesome

Nope. Currently, there is no app (of which I know, at least) which does what you are asking for. As someone has already stated, we`ll just have to wait for TX...

How do uninstall this? It's still on my apps list and start menu
I'm sorry but it's a pity someone posted TX. Schaps the dev of TX asked every tester to do not release his work. Don't be surprised if devs stop their hard work. So please remove the links, it's like WAREZ because not agreed by the author. And then what you got ? Complainers about "how does it work ?". Exactly the issue the private beta test avoid...

Schaps does not have anyof his TouchXperience work published here on XDA and does not wish to do so. Posting beta's on here without his express permission is effectively pushing warez. Please do not post these items here.

The phone, at least the T-Mobile version, comes with some animated wallpapers. Is there anyway to put something in the folder wherever they're stored and use that?
I'm not really sure what file type they are though either.

[Q] Is there a place to request for app/widget development?

Im wondering if there is a place to submit ideas on widgets/apps. There's not many people with the talent/skills to create programs but its sometimes the ones that know less that can think out the box.
Does anyone know of such a place?
I have this idea for an Instant Messenger widget. Since im very fond of widgets (because to me its a huge difference between our apps and iOS apps) I would love to be able to go through my AIM/Yahoo Buddy list on screen and send a message to someone that way without having to open up the specific app.
If something like this already exists id love to know about it. Even if its just a widget showing you who's online and when tapping sends you to an IM box (Kinda like the FB widget that shows you recent status updates/news posts.) If not id love to spread the idea and see if anyone can create such a thing.
Post this in the general android forums under the proper section rather than a device-specific forum under Development (where it should not be). Someone there might have some ideas.

I was thinking that but I've seen many other IM apps that weren't made by AOL or Yahoo so I figured a 3rd party would be more interested then the main source. Especially after seeing AOL ruin their AIM app with their recent upgrade.
Is there a way a Mod can redirect this thread to the proper place or should I just create a new one?

I promise you that none of the developers in this forum would be willing to spend time on an AOL widget I didn't know anyone still used that.

Yeah Im sure its a dying program but I figured it would bring it back a bit if it was always on =P like BBM ... when I had a bb i hated bbm but i used it cuz it was just ALWAYS on. If I had a widget I would always be on lol if i had the time I would love to learn how these things work and just make one.
