[IDEA] Alphabetical music tab scroller - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi guys,
It'd be great if someone knew how to make an alphabet scroller for the music tab similar to the one in manila contacts. Only reason for this is becoz wen you have over 1000 songs its rather annoying scrolling to the bottom.

I asked that myself too, why isn't there a scroller???

take for example the hero. wen you begin to scroll a bar comes up out of the side which you can drag and it extends further with an alphabetical sorter...it shouldn't b that hard to make...i would do it except i wouldn't have a clue how

that would need a whole new app I'm afraid...

would it be like making a new tab for manila similar to the ebook one or the documents one or more difficult than that?

I was not referring to necessarily making a new tab, just that it's a whole new feature, and adding it to the current manila music player is not quite an option.
As far as I know, no music players for WM have that alphabetical scroller, and I have tried I few before settling with mortplayer for my car

Scroll Albums in Today screen

Hi All,
I have had my HTC Touch pro a few days and the following post is well because it bugs me.
Is it possible to scroll through your albums (not songs or playlist) in the media bit of the luvly today media scrolly type menu.
I can go to library and choose an album - then a track and scroll through up/down those and it all looks nice etc.
I can load all my songs into playlist whic is approx 1000 or so right now but they are in individual song, alhabetical order (rather clumsy) to scroll.
When in the library I choose albums or artist tab then try to go back to the today scrolly luvly screen it goes back to the album song that was chosen before.
I guess I have visions of something like Itunes albums thingy or the contacts bit on the Diamond/diamond pro.
So either way is it do-able as in I am doing something wrong or it it just not an option with this ROM.
Thanks in advance
GW
I have the same "problem" From all the tinkering I have done trying to accomplish exactly what you are trying to accomlish. I assume it is "as designed" or a bug. Either way, my hope is that someone figures out how to tweak it to work.
I am not in love with Apple but one thing they got right was the ipod music organization (in my humble opinion)
not possible.
no registry keys either to be found

Hi
Thanks for the replies. Shame about the album scroll but at least it wasnt me being a muppet for a change.
Would have been real nice to press the back button to go from album tracks back to album list.
Hey Ho, I am sure some Uber clever person will come up with something in the future.
Otherwise I think the T-Pro is significantly better than the TytnII it has replaced. There are litlle nicieties I keep finding for example you can zoom in when using the camera on its highest setting and when doing a video clip!
Thanks
Glen

I feel the same as you. I am still finding the improvements and have the faith someone will overhaul all th emusic stuff here anyway. We have just scratched the surface
Hi
Did a bit of scrutiny to the full PDF manual that it comes shipped with. On page 79 it clearly says that in the today screen - music tab you can scroll albums as well as songs in ablums?
I have sent an enquiry ticket to HTC to see if it is a print error or not.
Regards

au courant ideas for upcomming builds

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

[REQ] i need a program to make tabs slide like in iphone

It's not more intuitive at all - you just want it.
I can't see that ever happening with the Sense UI as it would be a major rework of the application. The best you can hope for is a replacement UI that does it, but then you'd have all the inherant problems of that UI, rather than having Sense and the support of these forums.
i would also like it like that=) but.. nv mnd =)

you can do that in maxmanilla

nope u cant!! he want a SLIDING animation.... without maxmanila u can slide ure fingers from left to rigth....and u come to the next tab but without any sliding effect
you have to install a UI like Mobile Shell from SPG, http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
Unfortunalty you will then miss out some of the nice features in HTC Sense.

[REQ] Coverflow for contacts

Hi
I used this app on winmo today sceen...
is thee any developper vwho'd like to dev one similar manila finger friendly style?
a fullscreen coverflow would be much appriciated...
anybody feeling like it ?
http://www.cnetx.com/products/contact/
that would be cool...
do it a bit like the media player style where u go into contacts as normal but when you turn the phone on the side it looks like album cover flow...
nice idea man
JR
Well i'm note able to do it myself
I dont know how to dev for winmo devices
nobody interested in developping this ? really?
Wasn't there a flow idea on one of the HTC, or was it Xperia? where you had a top to bottom flow with contact pictures?
either way I think this would be more useful than a set amount of quick contacts imho.
I would develop it, but I have trouble stopping chocolate from melting, let alone coding

(REQ) Carousel Mod for Sense 2.5 (SPB Shell-Like) but not SPB

Does anyone know if this is possible or available. Would be so nice.
To have a carousel function (similar to the SBP Shell panels carousel) that can either replace the sense slider or work as a stand alone app.
That would definitely be cool, but I am pretty sure there is nothing like that at the moment.
I agree, would be nice!
But not going to happen...

You never know...
it would be better if you can Flick the home screen up and down endlessly like a kinda cirkel,
don't know if you'll understand my idea but like this,
if you Flick up you can get to the manila player, further up you'll get to albums further up you get a blank page it would be cool of you can put widgets over there and you flick again you get cookies home tab and another flick to get back at manila home screen.
hope ya'll understand my idea
sorry for my english

I sort of get what u mean. That would be sort of similar to the current sense slider but with 2 differences; Upwards/downwards scrolling instead of side to side. And different animation style for the transition of each page (flip, fold, flick etc). Nice idea...bu I would prefer the carousel better.
Had a look around the SPB shell threads and got the impression that there may be legal / patent related stuff that means the "carousel" is only for "spb mobile shell". So currently using both on my HD2 and a neat toggle switch app to change between Sense & SPB. ALthough SPB is nice (lots of eye candy) I prefer Sense (smoothness & speed) but would love that carousel or something similar.
I know nothing about apps & programming (should have paid more attention in IT classes) so just hoping someone here latches onto the idea.
