[IDEA] Quicktab - fast Manila-Tab switcher - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi guys!
I sell HTC devices and saw some interesting stuff on a Legend:
If you press the Home button on the Home-Tab you have an overview of all Tabs on the screen. This stuff would be so nice to have on the HD2.
I wish, my programming skills would be so good like my Photoshop skills. So I ask here if some of you Pro-Dev's is able to make this app?
I already have a design concept (GIF - 3.04 MB):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What do you think about it?
PS: If there are some grammatical errors, please be patient - German User

Fantastic idea! May I suggest activating this via holding the home button instead? It would be easier I think.
Also - did you see how the latest version of Sense works on Android? Pinching any tab with 2 fingers will show you a list of Sense screens. It would be great, too.

Great idea - someone here will have the knowledge to make this happen methinks!

what also would be nice is not only for tabs, but when you rotate the screen on the home tab, you can scroll through open applications (including the tabs) like you do on coverflow (music tab in landscape)

On the Legend you just have to press it short, thats much faster than the long pressing. When you make it on long press you are not faster then swiping the slider to the tab you wish to open.

The Legend runs fast and smoothly. I don't know something about the Desire - it will come next week - but IMHO with Android you don't need the Snapdragon to run smooth.
The idea with pinching is also not bad. I think it would be probably as fast as the seccond press on the Home button.

I think, the rotating thing is more eye candy than time saving. But it would also look great.

I wonder how it differs from Task Facade??

great idea... that would be a really great mod.
i hope someone can create this mod....

I'd say Maxycy's MaxSense is the thing you're waiting for.. judging from the preview-movies, he's implemented this function pretty well!

Sorry, but I like the look of Sense. It's a masterpiece of work for sure, but i like the original design, so that's to far away from the Stock Manila...

[REF] Useful wallpaper dimensions & templates for use with HTC Sense

Hi all, Ive thought I'd make a thread on utilizing the
WVGA display along with the sense UI, so you can
make specific wallpapers to suit your want.
Ok so heres the templates, sorry I haven't
written much, if peole see this as any use
to them, I will update it later
The zip files containing each set of templates will be
underneath the pictures
The order the images will appear in are as follows
Template | Image In Template | Image In Template Example On Phone​
1. Make image fit inbetween taskbar and manilla soft keys
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Make image fit inbetween dock menu and top curtain
3. Make image stretch the whole lock screen (normal wvga resolution)
4. Make the image fit into between the curtains of the lock screen
Cool, thanks.
It would be nice to have a wallpaper that shows the interior of the HD2, if you know what I mean. As if the screen was just a plate of glass with, for example, a slider on it

This is a fantastic idea for a tool.
So simple.
Yet again Star, you sir... have designed something that is typically overlooked. Great work. I'm glad I was able to track something like this down...

Thankyou
I believe he wants a wallpaper that looks like a picture of the inner circuits of the phone, something like if the back of the screen was crystal clear and the icons "floating in the air"
that is an awesome idea, it would look awesome
Hey Star
it's agaret idea and it's useful
thank very much

New Lockscreen (COMING SOON)

Coming soon thanks to Eliot Stocker, this is for 1.6 and soonn 2.1
http://bit.ly/ckywtw
Need it... soooo... baaadly
As I told him earlier, everytime he (or Anderwebs) release information / screenshots / the actual product, I happy pee myself.
Must has for 1.6 <3
That looks absolutely beautiful. Kudos. Lots of kudos. However, is it required to unlock via the Menu button or multiple unlocks? I didn't see any sliding things of that nature.
Can't wait to see the final product. Keep up the great work.

Nice work you two, will it be released in May?
Awesome! Can't wait to get this on my G1.
A suggestion, or maybe more of a wish, I think it'd be cool if you could load up at least a portion of the text message, or at least who it's from and present it on the lock screen.
Even with out that, I'll definitely love to have this on my phone!
Nice Design - cant wait for that
Two point one! Two point one! Two point one!
This is ultra-nice.
FastTest
This will be perfect for the Xperia Fast test 3.1.1, its a great rom but crappy lockscreen
Saweeeeeeeeeet.

Now THAT would be amazing. Good Work Eliot, I love your Music mod and now I will love your lockscreen!
Me likie.
For cyanogen as well I would hope. If not yet, it will be...
Hia guys, glad ya like it,
in regards to the slide to unlock, hopefully will make it into the final version.
Thanks to ben for starting up this thread to let yall know about my new lockscreen.
Keep your eye on my coner for more updates and screen etc.
Also still really need some help with the gmail provider, so anyone who knows anything get in touch?
Eliot
yeah with this cool lookscreen we all will get an totaly customize able Android Phone (now i know why i have bought my G1 last year in October ) keep on this great work @eliotstock
looks beautiful, but can anyone tell me what that wallpaper is? I'd love it!

That is album art, not a wallpaper. But I guess you can use it as a wallpaper for your phone.
(Also TinEye is awesome for reverse image searches)
Looks good, I'm just hoping for larger font!
This lockscreen is going to be the business! Is it still going to retain the finger pattern unlock scheme (connect the dots) as well?

Concept today screens - post your idea

3lixir said:
I think it would be more helpful if you start a new thread called "photoshopped home pages" or "concept today screens"
what you and a few others are doing is not relevant to this thread whether or not the actual icons exists is some form or another the screens themselves are not real today screens.
seperate subject requires a seperate thread where you can discuss making your nice screens a reality and are more likely to have people help you make them

I am drooling all over my keyboard right now.
That would be so awesome, but I doubt it will be possible to realize:
- Many tweaks
- Gadgets have to be drag n drop
- Mix of original Sense (e.g. weather) and completely new aspects (running apps = task manager)
Either way, if someone would do this, I would be SO paying for it!
btw: I still prefer portrait over landscape, but native rotation on this thing would be a relatively small problem
No Doubt! This concept is fantastic! Guess wm7 should come with that interface on post #6 rather the blue black now...yours is better!!

Further update will be available. I will clean up some errors and add new sections. Will also be added and portrait mode. Hope from concept to become reality (some day).
I think what people are forgetting is that the screen isnt that big in real life it would be impossible to touch anything on it
But we can dream
@ techops
you should contact maxycy
perhaps he could make some of your ideas come to life
P.S. do you have any portrait concepts?

It looks great but where can we find it?
i found it using google search AmbientTime Home-Launcher
the 6th link... i think its chinese... to download click the "down arrow" after the heart
http://www.coolapk.com/apk-3086
so far it is nice.
i can hide the apps that i do not like (like moxier,and other)
so far i like it.
Lock screen is really nice. Thanks for the INfo (OP)
24 icon on screen! Moxier Widget looks squeezed.

Thanks for sharing, it is nice and I have just downloaded. Enjoy, guys!

Wonder what damage it will do to the battery though!
So they caused the delay for 2.1 release. Probably they put hours in making this one and thought that it will all be wasted/
Now we all testing the battery.
the japanese has always something special and they keep proving this for us

There's a download link on the same page, just scroll down a bit and look closely
Besides the animated wallpaper I don't see any other reason to choose this over ADW. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the wallpaper without having to run this launcher? In other words, can I use the live wallpaper with ADW?
Really really nice.
I thought live wallpaper is only supported by 2.1 and not by 1.6 ?
Anyway the "one and only" big reason why I´m waiting for 2.1 is the change of stupid lock screen on 1.6. Doesn´t work sufficient enough for me. I tried some lock-apps too, but no app was "much better" than the original one. On every call I have to hope I can unlock the screen. But this one in this pack works perfekt. Thanks for sharing.
Only good point is live screen..ADW is far better..
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
This is awesome! Why the hell did they not release this earlier?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
well it's available only for japan... better late than never i think the apk is modded...
back to adw... i only like the lockscreen and the "live" wallpaper...
can somebody mod this to get only the lockscreen?

Yup, I got that too.
When I'm receiving a call it reverts back to the old lock screen, and when I'm done with the call I'll have to first unlock the default screen, and after that the AmbientTime one. Is there any way to force the AmbientTime lock screen to be used when receiving calls? If not, I guess I'll have to stick with ADW.
In the first post the wallpaper is very colorful but mine is simple! why?

[Q] Menu Key Appearance

Can anyone make the menu key popup look like iPhone style like MIUI does? Where it has the rounded background and the items on top of each other? Like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I can help in the creation of this I will gladly do so

Found it on Google. MIUI is a full custom ROM for Snapdragon based phones. Look around YouTube and such for MIUI. It has custom menus for everything, including these and settings. Fully integrated. It's an awesome ROM, wish we had it here.
But thank you SO MUCH
EDIT: Here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787877
Getting closer. So far only works on the extended menus.
Don't mind the background button on the menu in the second picture. That was left over from my first go around. It's gonna be removed tonight.

Wow that's actually really cool. But the thing is in MIUI it's always like that. I mean as soon as you press the menu key it looks like that.
I'll get those also. I just went after that one first since it was already a list style menu. I'll have to change the others to list menus also.

You are amazing man
So I've gotten the extended menus finished to where I like them. They pop up full width and only to the center of the screen and are scrollable. For the rest of the menus I'll have to learn/re-write the .smali files to make them draw out like the extended menus in a list style rather than a button style. Should be a long week.
