I am still using UltimateLaunch even with all these new UI's out there for the customization abilities and small footprint (only have 64mb on the i760). I am looking for someone to develop an application that I can launch using the gestures feature of UL. The application(s) would slide in from the top or bottom to reveal a quicklauncher, task manager, etc. This would be similar to Android. If anyone could develop this or if there is one out there that I am missing, please let me know.
erm have you tried FtouchSL ?
it 's just what you need
I've been thinking of doing something like this for a while with icon based panes.

Hey ather,
I don't think that is what he is talking about. Keep in mind that UL does have gesture support, so it isn't about the gesture itself, but rather a program (possibly with a nice transition animation) that can attach to UL as some sort of an addon (like he said, think of the Android launcher menu).
@joshrys
what you could do is to install Slither's cube. It can be easily installed and has a very smooth transition effect. Just associate the Up-Down/Down-Up with UL and you should end up with a nice interface. Just my two cents...
ah sorry my bad, didnt read the whole thing properly, he wanted to use the UL's gestures
Thanks for the suggestions, i currently have IE set to launch with a down swipe and the comm manager with the up swipe, I am just looking for an app that will slide down and up with the swipes for launching things. FTouch is a great program, i have used the trial before, but not necesarrily what I'm looking for. UL is great, the up/down is just about the only thing I think it's lacking. it goes left/right, why not up/down?
Have you tried MortButtons? You can configure it to do what you want and it has a task manager and it's skinnable.

Let me see if I understood correctly... you are basically asking for UL to behave like a cube (not the Touch cube, but an actual six-sided cube [maybe even more sides]). I have waited for something like that for the longest time. The Touch cube (Slither's, Byka, etc) has been the closest thing I have seen to my "dream". However, just like UL, there is no Up-Down/Down-Up swipe launchers.
It would be nice to have something like that without having to install multiple apps to get the wanted effect(s).
I guess if the programmer of UL can release his code, it might be easy to modify in such a way as to adapt the missing swipe functions....
Is there anyone that is willing to give this a shot? (I cannot program if my life depended on it )
I have played around with some of the multitouch apps (browser, maps, image-gallery examples) and found them quite impressive. My question is, can the onscreen-keyboard be hacked to allow for multitoutch?
i know the keyboard is pretty useful but it would be better to have the multi touch features. The screen supports multutouch and it is a bit stupid that apple can copyright multitouch. alot of my friends mock the android cos it doesnt have mutitouch (stupid iphone snobs)
so, is it possible?
I'm sure it would be possible. There honestly should be multi-touch support for the virtual keyboard. Not to display 2 letters at a time obviously, but to just que the second letter to allow for faster typing rather than have it skip between 2 letters. The iphone does have multi-touch support on its VK for the same exact reason of faster typing.

so where are you seeing all of this stuff with the multi touch?
Yeah, I don't think multi-touch is available for Maps and Gallery. If I'm wrong could someone shoot me a link please?
Multi touch is only available in the browser. There were some demos you could install on your phone of the maps and gallery but they were just demos not the actual program.
As for the VK not sure why you would need it. Maybe type faster but other than that I see no need for it.
He's talking about the multitouch examples here: http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/get-multi-touch-support-on-your-t-mobile-g1-today/
I don't really see what all the hype is about multi-touch. The only reason I can see it being useful is for games, and maybe if a shift key was inserted in the VK. Other than that, I feel it just becomes more difficult. Sure, it's cool technology, but isn't it easier to zoom using your thumb, holding the phone with one hand, than having to use two fingers or two separate hands? I've been running JF builds for months which multi-touch, and barely use it at all.
Multi touch allows for faster typing. Especially if you're typing in landscape mode with your thumbs going at it. I've noticed it would skip letters for me on various occasions because of it not registering hits that are too close to each other.
Why wouldn't you just open the keyboard...
I don't get it
I agree about typing. I also think the iphone's way of zooming in/out on the map is easier, too. It is all preference, but I really want the multi-touch map. Having it as an option would satisfy the masses.
To be honest, after the novelty of having multitouch on the browser wore off I found myself using the "+" and "-" buttons on the screen anyway!

Personally, I hate those freaking on-screen zoom in/out buttons with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. They're always popping up in the way of links that are placed at the bottom of web pages and I constantly hit that stupid button in the bottom right of the screen, opening that useless panning box. IMHO on-screen menus should never be placed in front of content. Am I the only one that thinks that's completely retarded?
multitouch
frankly i like the circle zoom!! i thnk tht wud b more convinient then the multi touch unless ur in landscape mode for some reason or another but yes i wud really like multi touch vk!! i need to b able to type faster but i still use my hardware keyboard for fast typing!
i prefer using two fingers to zoom in and out. I feel that by using two fingers you see where you are zooming and dont have a finger in the way. As multitouch is enabled in the rom, using two fingers emulates a finger press in between them, which can get quite enoying if you type fast ir knock a key by accident, u get a random key in the middle.
I know its not essential but these little things give it a nicer feel.

It's a matter of personal preference. Is that not why we like open source so much? Some of us don't want to open keyboards every 4 seconds. Some of us have magic's sans hardware keyboards.
I for one welcome any improvements that I may or not use but in the end they are improvements.

Because, I text a LOT. Between work and twitter and friends... I'm texting all the time. sometimes it's just faster to start typing.. plus I'm sure it's better on the hinges to not keep snapping the thing open every minute.
Hi...
has anyone got a solution for the bottom softkeys/menu and icons on 6.5.3..when using the Slingmobile app?
thanks
Singh
I second the request for help on this. The program is very difficult to use without the bottom row of buttons.
Moved as not software release requests go to Q&A
i would also like to see some solution for this problem
Nothing seems to forthcoming. Anybody?
Come on guys...
Someone must have a solution?
I can't go into the ins and outs.. but lets just say... v1.6 is the one that we all be using.
So.. we need to fix this version and not wait for a new version. It's not going to be fixed in a newer release.

Difficult or impossible? Without the bottom row, I cannot bring up the channel panel to change channels. Is there a way to change channels at all without that panel?

Yes... Program the on screen shortcut keys...
thats how i'm using it... but I cannot go into full screen. there simply is no way to click on it on the bottom bar.

The only way I can get into full screen is to open the keyboard. Of course that's not totally practical having to have my keyboard open all the time for full screen. Have you tried something like Gyrator 2 to maybe see if when Gyrator puts it into landscape, the fullscreen activates?
I have a Touch Pro 2 BTW.

The keyboard will do the remote control tasks for you. I believe the keystrokes are the same as for the keyboard on the Desktop version:
The Numbers type numbers
G is Guide
Up and Down Arrows change channels.
X is exit, etc. I don't know where to get a full list.
Also, I set Slingplayer to Auto-Rotate using G-Config. The Window Class name is SlingClient. This gets me to full screen without opening the keyboard.
That's about the only way I can make it so I can use it.
If anybody wants the files in the program's folder I can send them. Just PM me.

Hmm, strange. I added Slingplayer to the Whitelist for autorotate, using G-Config and it's not rotating. I reboot and looked at the registry and can see it there(SlingClient), but Slingplayer just won't rotate unless I open the keyboard.

Hmm, weird, it stopped working for me as well. To be honest, I can't remember when it stopped, but it used to work. Perhaps it's the standard 6.5 builds that do it.
Well, this makes it even more important to fix this issue. I have submitted a support request to Slingbox, so we'll see what they have to say.
They fixed it!!!! YAY!!!

I have a Samsung Intrepid, I tried installing and customizing with the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 but no luck. The toolbar was on the right side and my pictures wouldnt fit on the screen as well.
I was curious to if anyone had any other custom roms for Windows 6.5 on a Samsung Intrepid worth trying out??????????????
Anybody smart enough to get the youtube app (version 2.6 standard installed by HTC) to be shown in Landscape Mode, I mean the Main Menu (not while playing a video because that is already in landscape mode)?

I just forced it into landscape using PLToggle (see in my sig ), but the application won't work like that. It just isn't coded to work in landscape I'm afraid.

Yes - that makes the app capable of rotation, but you still need to use something to rotate the app, so BsBTweaks is the simplest solution.

Maybe, maybe not.
Are you talking about different versions of YouTube? Remember that there's the nice looking but limited HTC version that came with the phone, and then the ugly but with better functionality version that Google released a while back.
Edit:
Actually, scratch that because I can get both versions to rotate, so it's obviously nothing to do with that.

its all there... first thing i checked after adding it in with bsb.
maybe theres another class that needs to be added?
what is really weird here is after enabling rotate with your little reg tweak it should have worked straight away as i use gyrator 2 nowadays to rotate EVERY screen on the device regardless.
It doesnt even matter if i cant get it going... its not the end of the world... but now im simply curious as to why it works for others and not me?
maybe the rom has to be manila landscape enabled!?!?! that the only thing i can think of as i use a stock rom.

Got it to work and it works great.
Used all your registry tweaks:
Check: HKLM/Software/HTC/YouTube/EnableRotate
Set that entry to 1.
Check: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\ModuleName
Add a new STRING Value:
Name: YouTube
Value: \Windows\Youtube.exe
Check: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\Whitelist
Add a new STRING Value:
Name: YouTube
Value: HTCYOUTUBE
I am happy with it.
PS: I have Artemis V8.0 NLD Rom running in case it won't work on stock rom.
youtube landscape
Try Gyrator works on almost every app.
I have it rotating great....but anyone find that when youre watching a video you cant touch the screen...it wont respond?
And you need to flip back to portrait when the video is playing to be able to touch the screen?
Yes, that's true. Eitherway, it's a choice to have YT in landscape mode, and because the playing of the video was already set in landscape mode, it flips another 90 degrees. Therefore you cant select stop,pauze,back buttons etc.
So it's not that it doesn't respond, it does, but it cannot comply having a landscape view set to landscape mode.
The YT app just simple doesn;t understand.
Therefore you have to flip the phone back upright, for the buttons to re-appear.
Like I said, it's a choice wanting the YT menus be visible in landscape mode... this is what ya get if you need to hack, rather than having a newer version...
We just have to wait until YT themselves come up with a better version which include the option of having a landscape mode or not.
Bye now.

Pressure Sensitivity is built in, you don't have to do anything.
However, it is only applicable on certain brushes, maybe you have tried it on ones not supported.
As to rejecting your palm, use a coaster, mouse mat or similar. Place the coaster, mouse mat etc on the screen and rest your palm on that. You can then let the pen touch the screen as the mat does not register a touch.

Fingers are open.
Someone was saying sketchbook mobile got updated to include a pen only function. Sketchbook pro will likely receive that feature in the next update.
Under the brush option menu (the middle icon in the top bar--shaped like a brush) once you have the pallets open, there's a settings icon (three sliders), under this, you can change the min/max values for opacity and size. There you can change values for any brush you have selected from the left tool bar.

Ah, that is true too, I've just been stretching my shirt to cover the bottom of my hand.. I don't like coasters because it gets in the way, but yes, gloves that cover all the way are annoying too because you can't feel the stylus.
I believe there was an older version where you had to enable it manually, the current version has it enabled by default. In my opinion while rich in features sketchbook pro is not that good, mainly no palm rejection, and no custom size canvas and some other things, also the spen seems to be not that accurate in SKB, if you are into drawing I would recommend LayerPaint app, very nice app, very powerful yet quite simple.
